Metaphysics save the entertainment industry

At the box office on Sunday, "The General" ended with 2.5 million hits, 1.9 million more than Saturday's 5000 million.

Released on Fridays, plus Saturdays and Sundays, "The General" grossed 5.2 million in three days, surpassing Ying Wenlong's own box office record.

However, most of the investment in this movie was brought in by Ying Wenlong himself. Apart from him and Yan Ruyu, they were friends with a very good relationship with Ying Wenlong. These investors are all laughing.

"Audition?" Lu Xuan looked at Tang Qiu.

"Well, some scripts were found before, but I pushed them away after watching them. This time, the show "Love·Love" became popular, and your popularity skyrocketed, so good scripts began to come to you." Tang Qiu held his hand. Several scripts in the movie were pushed to Lu Xuan.

"What kind of characters are they?" Lu Xuan asked, a little hesitant to accept the script.

Variety shows are fine, you don't need any ability to play around, and if you are acting, it is not so easy for a half-baked guy like him.

"There are three scripts in total, one is a modern idol drama, and the character handed over is the male lead. It is relatively easy, but modern idol dramas are easier to attract fans."

"The second one is a large-scale production of ancient costume TV series, playing the role of the male lead when he was young. The role of the role is only about four or five episodes. Because it is a male lead, if he plays well, he can also get some attention."

"The third one is a costume fantasy drama. In recent years, Xianxia has become popular. This book is handed over to the male lead, and the competition is fierce. However, I still recommend you to try it. If you are selected, you may enter directly. The mainstream circle of TV dramas."

Lu Xuan read the next three scripts, and the content was probably similar to what Tang Qiu said. He opened the script of the last fantasy drama and read the introduction.

As Tang Qiu said, fantasy dramas have become quite popular recently, and the script handed over is the male lead. If he is selected, it is equivalent to stepping into the male lead circle.

"This?" Lu Xuan hesitated.

"I just suggest you to try it. There is a high probability that you are not likely to be selected. It is just to accumulate experience," Tang Qiu said solemnly. It can’t even be released, and those who can develop large-scale productions are also big companies, I’m afraid the book is handed over because of your age advantage.”

"Then I'd better not go." Lu Xuan handed the script back first, "I can try the remaining two."

Tang Qiu frowned: "You..."

"I don't think it's necessary," Lu Xuan smiled slightly, "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I think with my current acting skills, I can't play the leading role. A supporting role is enough."

Tang Qiu understood Lu Xuan's worry and nodded, "Since you said so, I won't force you. Anyway, there are many people getting this book, and no one cares whether you accept it or not."

Lu Xuan: ...

Lu Xuan's first test was the male lead of the modern idol drama. The male lead plays a relatively heavy role in the play, but the characters are set to be warm-hearted. As long as he doesn't collapse, he can easily act.

The production cost of this crew is average, and Lu Xuan has been relatively popular recently, and it is relatively cheap, so it is just a formality, and it is agreed that he will play the role of the male second.

The filming of this drama will take place in one month, and Lu Xuan still has one month to prepare.

After that, he received an invitation from the costume crew to audition for the show.

This costume drama is a large-scale production TV series. The background is set during the Wu Anniversary of the Tang Dynasty. The male lead is Li Zhi and the female lead is Wu Zetian.

It is said to be a large-scale production TV series in ancient costumes, but it is actually a big Mary Su drama.

In the history of TV drama development, there are many TV dramas about Wu Zetian, and all of them are Mary Su dramas. After all, for some viewers, whoring the emperor is not as good as being the emperor himself. Wu Zetian itself has attractive charm and is a typical topical character.

If he can receive the young male lead of this TV series, it will be considered a breakthrough for Lu Xuan.

The premise is that you can receive this drama.

"Lu Xuan, is it Lu Xuan? We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Just as Lu Xuan walked into the film and television building, he heard someone calling his name.

He looked up and saw a young man about his own age.

Finding out the identity of this person from the original owner's memory, Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "Zou Chao, long time no see."

This person was one of the few people the original owner knew after he entered the entertainment industry. He had known him before, but his relationship was mediocre. Later, the original owner lived with Anyang, and his relationship with Zou Chao was unknowingly distant.

"Are you coming to audition for Zetian Chuan too?" Zou Chao seemed in a good mood when he met someone he knew well.

"Yeah, you too?" Lu Xuan looked at him, "Maybe...you auditioned for the same role as me."

"The... male protagonist when he was young?" Zou Chao asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Lu Xuan nodded, with a feeling that it was indeed so.

"Then we are in a competitive relationship." Zou Chao didn't care too much, "But speaking of it, let alone us, even the male protagonist can only be regarded as a supporting role in this drama."

Seeing Zou Chao's brisk words, Lu Xuan didn't feel any nervousness: "Is this drama a heroine drama?"

"That's right, audiences like this kind of drama now, and the more bloody the audience, the more they like it. It is said that this book is also very bloody." Zou Chao said in a low voice.

"Whether it's dog blood or not has nothing to do with us." Lu Xuan laughed.

"That's true. Anyway, we are playing the male lead when we were young. Even if it's bloody, it won't come to us." Zou Chao said, as if both of them had already taken on the role.

The two talked and chatted, and soon entered the elevator.

Zou Chao was about to close the elevator door when he heard a hurried voice from outside: "Wait a minute."

Zou Chao smoothly pressed the door open button and waited for a while.

Not long after, a young man who was about the same age as the two rushed in.

Lu Xuan and Zou Chao looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, both of them could see clearly from each other's eyes, if the guess was right, these two should also be their competitors.

After the two entered the elevator, the elevator door slowly closed.

The elevator carrying four people slowly ascended.

"Lu Xuan?" Someone noticed Lu Xuan standing in the corner of the elevator.

"En." Lu Xuan nodded, silently put his hands on the railing in the elevator, and held on tightly.

"Are you also here to audition for the young male lead?" The man continued to ask.

"En." Lu Xuan nodded again, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

"You are very different from what you showed on the show," the man smiled, "but with you here, we probably have no chance."

"It's not sure who will be selected. I heard that some crews don't like plastic surgery. Their faces are so stiff that they can't make any expressions. Especially for such large-scale TV dramas, they don't like plastic surgery." Another person slanted Looking at Lu Xuan, he said coldly.

"Hey..." Lu Xuan sighed again, "If you believe me, hold on as fast as I did."

"What do you mean?" The other three people in the elevator except Lu Xuan asked in unison.

Zou Chao, however, immediately grabbed the railing after Lu Xuan opened his mouth.

One of those two people also did the same, but the one who was angry before didn't speak or move, just looked at Lu Xuan coldly: "Why should I listen to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a click, and the elevator was instantly dark.

Before a few people could react, the elevator suddenly descended rapidly.

Even though there were four big men in the elevator, when the elevator descended, there was still a burst of screaming.

Fortunately, the elevator didn't go down to the bottom, it just got stuck in the middle, and then hung there, motionless.

Those who were holding on to the railing were still standing there, those who were not holding on to the railing fell directly to the ground, and the sound of hitting the elevator hurt.

"What... what's going on?"

"The elevator is broken?"

"Is there anyone?" Zou Chao quickly walked to the elevator button and pressed the emergency button of the elevator, but no matter how he pressed it, he didn't get any response.

It's just that although no one responded outside, the lights in the elevator suddenly turned on.

The sudden light on made the four people in the elevator flicker. After everyone got used to the light in the elevator, they found that bright red blood was slowly flowing down the elevator wall.

"what is this……?"

"It's blood...it's blood..."

Since there were four big men in the elevator, he didn't panic too much, but even so, his heart beat quickened when he saw the blood dripping from it.

Lu Xuan looked at Sibi in the elevator, and stood silently in the middle of the elevator, with his hands in his trouser pockets.

"This time it's a revenge incident, why don't we all talk about it and see if any of you have done anything wrong?" Lu Xuan raised his eyes and looked at them.

"What do you mean?" Zou Chao asked.

"That's the literal meaning," Lu Xuan sighed, "Someone wanted to take revenge on one of us, so this situation was set up for that person, so those who did wrong might as well take the initiative to stand up, as the saying goes , you can’t hurt others, right?”

"Why are you so calm? Is it your fault?" one of them pointed at Lu Xuan with red eyes.

"Do I look calm?" Lu Xuan frowned, his hands in his pockets clenched into fists.

"Don't quibble, let us out quickly, or you will be kidnapped and blackmailed!"

Lu Xuan frowned even tighter, so he didn't like to deal with this kind of thing the most. If he had to choose, he would definitely choose to count his fate for the rest of his life, which was better than seeing ghosts from time to time.

outside the elevator.

"Ayu, what's wrong?" Zeng Qun asked.

"I always feel that something is wrong." Yan Ruyu frowned and walked to the elevator.

Zeng Qun followed and said, "It's broken, why don't you take the elevator next to it?"

"Let me take a look." Yan Ruyu attached the soul fire to her eyes, and she saw something was wrong.

The number outside the supposedly broken elevator did not disappear, but the number 3 was written carelessly.

Yan Ruyu took out her mobile phone and dialed Lu Xuan's number.

Inside the elevator.

When Lu Xuan heard the phone ring, he immediately took out his phone.

"Yes, yes, I'm in this building, are you there too? That's great, help, help, help...!!!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he notice that the eyes of several people were on him.

"Girlfriend?" Zou Chao looked complicated.

"Ah? Why do you think so?" Lu Xuan was surprised.

"Didn't you just kiss your girlfriend on the phone?"

Lu Xuan: "Huh?"
