Chapter 116 Finalization and Variety Show Guests
After the last reshoot of the scene was completed, when Zhuang Yu shouted the final sentence, Lu Zexin suddenly stood up suddenly, and then landed again, a little relaxed, but also a little empty.
Looking at the smiling and shouting studio staff in the studio, smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously, and they stretched out their hands to applaud, to all the staff who had worked hard for such a long time, and to myself.
"Go back to the Magic City tomorrow?"
"Well, tomorrow at noon."
"Then drink more tonight. It's been hard work for nearly five months."
Zhuang Yu walked up to Lu Ze and gently hammered Lu Ze's chest. Everyone was very tired during this period and it was time to relax.
After changing clothes, the staff were still packing equipment. Zhuang Yu asked the actors to leave first, threw the car keys to Lu Ze, and asked Lu Ze to drive them back.
After returning to the hotel and saying hello to the other actors, Lu Ze returned to his room, gently opened the door, took off his clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a good shower.
He picked up the razor at hand and scraped it on his face. It made a subtle clicking sound, and the beard was completely shaved. When his fingers touched his chin, he felt a feeling similar to sandpaper, and his face finally became refreshed again.
After putting on clean clothes, he received a call from Wang Zixuan, informing Lu Ze that she was already waiting at the door of the hotel. Lu Ze hung up the phone and hurried downstairs.
The location of the hotel reservation was not far from the hotel where Lu Ze was staying. It was a very unique restaurant. It was not large in scale, but it was very famous in Baiqing City.
Since there are no private rooms in the hotel, Zhuang Yu has already booked the hotel. As soon as he opened the door and entered, the lobby was full of staff. The food had not yet been served and they were chatting animatedly.
"Brother Lu! I won't come home until I'm drunk today!"
"Brother Lu, I'll toast you later. Thank you for taking care of me for so long."
When the staff and actors saw Lu Ze coming, they all greeted him warmly, and some even made a small joke with Lu Ze.
The class relationship in the small crew definitely still exists, but it is not as strict as in the big crew. In the past few months, everyone has gotten along very well. Compared with the normal working relationship, Lu Ze's way of getting along with everyone is more Like a friend.
After Wang Zhen arrived last, Zhuang Yu picked up a cup of white wine, said a few simple words, drank the wine in one gulp, and made everyone present applaud.
After getting along with each other for so many days, everyone knows that Zhuang Yu said he doesn’t drink. In fact, he does drink occasionally, but he is not a good drinker. A bottle of beer is the kind that goes up. Today, he can drink something white. It seems to be true. Happy.
After that, there was inevitably a round of toasting. Many people were thinking about Lu Ze. They drank a toast, but Lu Ze had to follow their lead. After an hour, Lu Ze also felt a little drunk.
Director Zhuang, do you have any plans for this drama? "
After the situation calmed down for a while, Lu Ze sat next to Zhuang Yu and asked what Zhuang Yu meant. He was definitely going to make a literary film to win awards. He couldn't expect it to be a box office hit, right?
So what Lu Ze wants to know is whether Zhuang Yu wants to apply to participate in major film and art festivals to compete with other outstanding films, and which awards he is interested in.
Zhuang Yu has nothing to hide on this point. Although it is still far from being released, he already has a rough plan for the future planning of "Mr. Tree".
As a film that Zhuang Yu was very satisfied with during the filming, the only obstacles left were editing and review. The quality of editing is much more important than the filming. If the editing is not good, even if the actors are gods, it will not work. It will still be a bad movie.
The second point about the censorship issue is that some scenes must be deleted from this film. Zhuang Yu knew this well. After all, even in Zhuang Yu's opinion, some scenes were overdone.
The reason why he took the photo was because he wanted to give it a try. What if he passed? Then what he wants to express will be more clear and precise.
"First of all, it must be a domestic film festival. I would like to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards. If there is a chance, I would also like to apply for a foreign film festival. I can't say yet."
Zhuang Yu's face turned a little red, but Lu Ze confirmed through his eyes that he was still awake and not talking nonsense after drinking too much. The two of them drank tea instead of wine.
After that, Lu Ze didn't discuss this issue with Zhuang Yu until the dinner was about to end, when Wang Zixuan came over and informed Lu Ze that Shen Jinghan asked Lu Ze to go back to the company tomorrow.
It was said that the company had found Lu Ze to be a guest in a variety show, and he would sign a contract with Lu Ze tomorrow to make up for the loss of hot spots in the past half year of filming.
When Lu Ze learned about this situation, he turned the wine glass over and placed it on the table, not moving again until the dinner came to an end and the actors said goodbye and returned to the hotel to rest.
...
In March, the temperature in the Magic City had begun to warm up, but Lu Ze could still feel the cold and humid air when he got off the plane.
Compared to the dry and cold north, Lu Ze hates the winter in the south even more. The quilts are damp and he gets wet when sleeping. He doesn't wash clothes for ten and a half days. Lu Ze has to buy a lot of pants in winter. Otherwise it will be too late to replace it.
Liu Bin was a little stunned when he saw Lu Ze outside the airport. Although Lu Ze had his hair cut in Baiqing City this morning, his skin was obviously rougher and not as smooth as it was in November last year. It looked like he had suffered a lot.
"Long time no see, Brother Liu."
"Welcome back."
Lu Ze was in a good mood today. The car stereo was turned on and a blues song was playing. Lu Ze tilted his head and looked out the window. In a few months, a new high-rise building had been built near the airport.
It seems that many new changes take place in the Magic City every day. They may not have been noticeable before, but they have undergone qualitative changes over time. When people discover them, no one will not be shocked by them.
The company's black gold sand marble floor tiles were still so shiny. Lu Ze stepped out and stepped on the ground with his long legs. But when he passed the front desk, he found that the familiar Xiaomei at the front desk had been replaced by another unfamiliar beauty.
"Where's Xiaomei? Resigned?"
"I resigned years ago and left the company in mid-December."
This change is not big, but Lu Ze can no longer hear the always energetic beauty say to him: "Good morning, Brother Lu".
Without thinking too much, everyone has his own destiny. Lu Ze stood at the door of the conference room where Shen Jinghan informed him that he was going to arrive, and knocked gently on the door.
"Please come in."
Lu Ze opened the door. Shen Jinghan was communicating with another middle-aged woman with a ponytail and black-framed eyes. Shen Jinghan stood up and walked to Lu Ze. The middle-aged woman introduced him.
"Let me introduce, this is my artist Lu Ze, and this is Li Nuan, the person in charge of the variety show "Longing for Life" on Mango TV."
Lu Ze reached out and shook hands with this woman in her forties, who was a little out of shape and looked very ordinary.
"Hello, Director Li."
Lu Ze naturally knew about "Longing for Life". Slow variety shows are now very popular. As the leader of slow variety shows, Lu Ze has watched two episodes of this show.
This kind of variety show takes a warm-hearted route, adds some happy and funny things, and feeds you some chicken soup without knowing it. The seemingly ordinary program always leaves the audience with more to watch.
After the two shook hands, Lu Ze sat down. Shen Jinghan had already communicated the specific situation with Lu Ze this morning. Lu Ze also agreed and understood the requirements of the program. He came here now to sign the contract.
Of course, Lu Ze is not a guest on next week's show. The show to be aired next week was actually recorded two weeks ago. Lu Ze appears on the show as a guest on next week's show.
Shen Jinghan had already finished negotiating the specific contract. Lu Ze just glanced at it briefly. The invitation fee was 800,000 yuan before tax. This price was in line with Lu Ze's worth, so he didn't choose. He picked up the pen and signed his name. .
