Global Movie Emperor

"Okay, I understand, I'll go downstairs right now."

The phone was clamped between his head and shoulder. Lu Ze tilted his head and made a phone call while tying his tie and putting on size 45 leather shoes. The soles of the shoes made a clicking sound on the marble floor tiles.

Today he was dressed handsomely, wearing a light gray striped suit, a white shirt and a navy plaid tie. His hair was too long and it got wet during training and stuck to his face and neck, which was uncomfortable, so he shaved it into calipers. .

Lu Ze's head was very straight, and he looked very energetic with a shaved ball head. He put his hand into his pants pocket and stamped his feet. In the mirror, he saw a mature young uncle-type handsome guy.

In fact, there are many people in their thirties who are still called young uncles. At the age of twenty-six, Lu Ze can only be called a young uncle. After thirty years old... the title of middle-aged uncle is a running one. No more.

Today he was going to attend the press conference of "Hello, Mr. Tree". Liu Bin was already waiting at the door of the boxing gym. He walked around and thought about what he had left behind. He took on the dark toad mirror, the watch with a big dial, and the The ring of timbre was snapped.

"Set off."

...

"Brother Lu is so handsome today. He's so handsome in this suit and tie."

"I'll go, you're really cool. Do you have any red envelopes for Brother Lu's Weibo repost? How about some inside information? I want to be a koi!"

The boxers were sweating profusely in the ring, and their eyes widened when Lu Ze walked by. Indeed, for these boxers bursting with male hormones, a man in a suit like this is the real handsome guy.

"Do you need any money? When you come back in the evening, I will give you something good to eat. Of course, it must be what the coach asks you to eat. I don't want to get beaten."

After hanging out with these little brothers who have no scheming ideas, Lu Ze has never played any scheming with them. Instead, he watches them drooling over Lu Ze's diverse diet all day long, and often gives them some changes. Satisfy their appetite.

Pushing open the door of the boxing gym, it was already summer. The hot air hit my face, with a strong moist feeling, like being in a sauna. I could see sweat on my forehead after walking a few steps.

When Wang Zixuan saw Lu Ze coming out, she opened the door from the car and let Lu Ze sit in. She drank Wangzai milk from the carton.

"Is there any more? Give me a box. Brother Liu, don't be in a hurry. Open it slowly."

The milk had been frozen in the refrigerator. It had just been taken out to cool down, and the straws were plugged in. The two people in the back seat did not look like colleagues at the superior or subordinate level, nor did they think of a brother and sister. Judging from their height, they looked more like a father and his wife. daughter.

Lu Ze picked up his phone and looked at Weibo. The trailer of "Mr. Tree" has been forwarded more than 40,000 times, but because this is a literary film, many fans looked at the dirty Lu Ze in the trailer. Didn't reciprocate the favor very much.

This is foreseeable, because Lu Ze actually does not have many loyal fans. First of all, Lu Ze is not very active on Weibo and does not have much stickiness to his fans.

In addition, Lu Ze is addicted to filming all day long, and Shen Jinghan can push various activities and schedules as he pleases. He has never participated in a few times. For fans, such an artist is incompetent as an idol.

But Lu Ze has never regretted it. Although there are more activities and his income is much higher than just the salary now, traveling during filming not only wastes time, but also delays the actor's condition, especially for someone like Lu Ze For this kind of experiential actor, it is not easy to get into the emotion again when suddenly interrupted.

He does not impose requirements on himself as an idol, but as an actor. He does not want to be like many new generation artists who seem to be very popular but have not many successful works. Or even none.

The foundation of such artists is not solid, and the company only wants to make quick money by promoting them. After two years, it is up to them to decide whether the artist will be transformed or abandoned and relegated to the sidelines, which is equivalent to a one-time commodity.

Qian Shijia's promotion plan for Lu Ze is durable and long-term. He is not a fast-food idol, so he maintains a tacit attitude towards Lu Ze's dodges.

Speaking of which, I must also mention the release plan of "Mr. Tree". The original film was 107 minutes long. After approval, only 81 minutes were left, and 26 minutes of footage were cut.

This made Zhuang Yu furious, and he often called Lu Ze to complain, but there was nothing he could do. They were grandsons and he was the father, so he still had to listen to them. After editing, he would submit it for review, and then after getting the release number, he would start reviewing the theaters. Negotiate typesetting.

Because Lu Ze is Qian Shijia's artist, Rongchuang Cinema, the second domestic theater chain, as a member of the family, will definitely support Lu Ze, but the support is not strong. After all, although they and Qian Shijia are the same It's a brother company, but brothers still have to settle accounts, right?

This is a debut literary film directed by a new director. Just such a factor has led to a serious decline in the screening rate. It premiered at 12 noon today, and the screening rate only accounts for 0.37% of the more than 55,000 screens in the country. , that is, 591 screenings and 66,600 seats.

If he were a well-known artistic film director, he would be able to get a first-day filming rate of 78%, but obviously Zhuang Yu is not. As a producer, screenwriter and producer, and an independent investor, he can only go into battle on his own. Go talk to the big guys in the theater chain.

It's a pity that as a literary uncle, he is too embarrassed to ask his grandfather and grandma to ask the theater chain to increase the number of shows. Of course, the market is here. Even if he kowtows to the theater chain bosses, he can't expect to get more. of films.

So...just accept it.

...

"Daze, we're here."

Lu Ze turned his attention to the window. This venue often had car shows. Zhuang Yu rented it out for half a day today when he had free time. He didn't have much follow-up funds. The publicity was only promoted by the leading actors. He was extremely poor.

There was a red carpet outside the door, but there were only a few reporters. However, when Lu Ze got out of the car, a few shouts came to his ears. Lu Ze was stunned, and turned around to see that there were several people who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. children, both boys and girls.

"Come on Lu Ze!"

A girl shouted in a dignified manner, and was laughed out of hand by the others. It seemed that not all of them were fans of Lu Ze. They were probably friends who accompanied her.

"Thank you, do you want to go in and watch my movie?"

Lu Ze felt embarrassed to see them standing outside in the hot weather. There were only a few of them anyway, so it didn't hurt to let them go in and take a look.

Originally, Shen Jinghan wanted to find some group performers to support the venue, but Zhuang Yu and Lu Ze were reluctant, especially since Zhuang Yu showed a lot of disgust, but Shen Jinghan had no choice but to give up, resulting in big cats and small cats in the venue. Two or three cats.

"Is that okay? Can you sign your name for me?"

Lu Ze raised his hand to look at his watch, and smiled at the girl who was blushing whether she was nervous or hot: "There is still a lot of time, I can just shoot a short video, it's too hot, let's go in first and talk about it later. "

Walking to the reporters, they also took a few photos very professionally. After thanking them, Lu Ze asked if anyone had not arrived. When he learned that he was the last one to arrive, he greeted them to come in. The venue.

"You also come with me."

After satisfying the girl's request for autographs and photos, she seemed very happy. She was not pretty and her face was so hot that she was sweating. She had a smile on her face and was quite brave. She followed Lu Ze and went in, dragging the two of them by force. Embarrassed, a man and a woman followed Lu Ze into the venue.

"Please arrange a seat for them. Go sit there for a while. Goodbye first."

After waving to them, Lu Ze was about to leave when he heard her say from behind: "Thank you! Lu Ze, I have always found you handsome! Always handsome!"

After Lu Ze heard this, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he turned around and replied: "Thank you too. I hope the movie will not disappoint you."
