Global Movie Emperor

In ordinary days, time flows in the palm of your hand inadvertently. In the blink of an eye, it is mid-April, and the city has entered a period of rapid growth. It is so hot that even a lame person does not like to move. He has gained seven or eight pounds in the past month. .

Lu Ze has never been used to setting the air conditioner temperature too low. Twenty-four degrees is enough. At this moment, he is sweating profusely on the treadmill in the room.

Although Lu Ze is not considered fat after filming "Alive", he still has a lot of fat stored on his body. He has an obvious belly and slightly bulging chest. In March, he weighed about 170 kilograms, and now It's down to one hundred and fifty-five.

After owning a car and a house, Lu Ze also had some spare money, so he started to buy the things he wanted. Anyway, the house was big enough, and he could easily put down some big items. This treadmill was one of them.

After the set timer was completed, the tracks on the treadmill began to slow down. After walking on it for another ten minutes, Lu Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, picked up the water cup and took a sip of warm water.

He turned off the songs playing in the room and was about to go into the bathroom to take a shower when Lu Ze's cell phone rang. It was Shen Jinghan calling.

"Aze, have you bought the round-trip air ticket to Xiangjiang?"

"Well, I bought it yesterday. I will fly to Xiangjiang on the 29th and return to Shanghai on May 3rd. What's wrong?"

Ever since Lu Ze announced that she was planning to take on a new drama, Shen Jinghan spared no effort to cast a wide net, asking many directors and friends in the industry, hoping to find a suitable script for Lu Ze, and today, she finally lived up to her expectations. Entrusted by Lu Ze.

"I want to ask you about your attitude towards romance films. I found a romance film book here, shot by director Xiao Fengying, and I just want to ask what you mean."

Lu Ze's hand holding the remote control paused for a moment. He had no subjective likes or dislikes about the romance film genre. For him, as long as it was a good script, what did it have to do with the genre?

It’s just that the values ​​​​of current domestic romance movies are not quite right, and they are full of all kinds of messy dramas such as love triangles, missing the ex, college love who steals the forbidden fruit and then has an abortion, rich young master Cinderella, and wedding battles.

Lu Ze would never make this kind of movie that promotes a distorted view of love to influence some immature boys and girls. To put it bluntly, if Lu Ze has children in the future, he can rest assured that he will Will my children watch a movie with such a distorted view of the world as grandma’s house?

He is not an ordinary audience member, nor will he be an ordinary parent in the future. He is an insider and an actor. Although he cannot influence the entire industry, at least he will set an example and not come into contact with this type of movie.

Otherwise, when children watch his movies in the future, Lu Ze will definitely be so ashamed that they can’t hold their heads up, and it will also affect other people’s children. Whoever likes to do this kind of thing like being struck by lightning, he Lu Ze couldn't do it even if he was beaten to death.

Xiao Fengying also has a deep understanding of director Lu Ze, but they have never met. She is one of the few well-known female directors in China. Her best subject is romance films. She is famous for her delicate use of lenses and understanding of female thinking. .

Her status in romantic movies is equivalent to Guo Mingde's status in war and military TV series. She is the unshakable first sister. Of course, there are also first brothers in romantic movies.

Especially more than ten years ago, when she was in her true heyday, let's put it this way, when Lu Ze was fifteen or sixteen years old, like countless boys and girls, he secretly watched her movies in front of the TV. A few drops of cat urine, I was so moved by the scenes in the movie.

It's just that Xiao Fengying's works in recent years have seemed a bit lackluster. They have followed the mainstream of the public and are no longer unique. They have also played vulgar love stories. They just rely on their previous reputation and still delicate camera control. In this It is the mainstay of romance films in a genre that is almost rotten.

As a well-known director, it is impossible for her reputation to be ruined by a few bad movies, but the audience's trust has still dropped to freezing point.

Think about it, a director as big as you has made three movies in the past four years, two of which were around 6.0, and one of which has dropped to 4.9. How can we trust you?

Lu Ze thought a lot in his mind, but in fact he didn't think for long and quickly answered Shen Jinghan's question on the other end of the phone.

"Romance movie? It depends on the quality. If the quality is good, I have no problem."

"Let me tell you first, if you want to film this drama, you still need to audition. I can help you get a spot for the audition. I will send the script to your email first. If you are interested, please get back to me. A phone call.”

"Okay, no problem."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Lu Ze saw a message coming from his laptop that was already turned on. He clicked on the mailbox and found the file called "The Wrong Man's Audition Script".

Lu Ze was a little disappointed when he saw the name of the movie, because the name "Wrong Love" is really not very realistic. On the contrary, it has a non-mainstream temperament.

Just such a name made Lu Ze lose a lot of interest. He went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and put it on the computer table. He held the cripple in his arms. Lu Ze opened the script and started to understand the outline of the plot.

Then he frowned, sat up straight, and became serious, reading every word in the audition script carefully. It took nearly an hour to finish reading the script.

After stroking the lame man, Lu Ze sighed, closed his eyes, visualized the words in his mind, completed the storyboard in his mind, and finally opened his eyes with satisfaction.

Judging from the audition script, this movie is indeed very different from the cheesy romance movies nowadays, and even has a hint of science fiction. Lu Ze refused to admit that the screenwriter is very good.

It gets rid of the money worship and hedonism that exists in most romance films now, and the emotions become very sincere. It tells the love between two ordinary, similar, but very different men and women with a purity close to pure love.

To be honest, this is the only love movie that has given Lu Ze an amazing feeling in recent years. Now looking at the name of this movie, Lu Ze feels that the name is very appropriate. It seems that it should be called this name in the first place.

This mistake is not a wrong mistake, but a staggered mistake. If understood in this way, it is more in line with the meaning of the name itself.

Lu Ze fell in love with the script and couldn't hold back his joy. He opened the script again and started reading it again, but his understanding of the script gradually began to deepen.

He stretched out his arm and took out a notebook from the bookshelf. He flipped through it casually. It was brand new and unused. He opened the drawer and took out a water-based pen. He began to write down all the key points in the audition script in the notebook. The cripple took advantage of this moment to jump. On the ground, he escaped from Lu Ze's clutches.

Time always passes quickly when you are focused. Finally, Lu Ze was awakened by the cry of the cripple. He was pulled away from his thoughts and looked at the time. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and there were five or six more words written in his notebook. Page Lu Ze's handwriting.

Seeing that the cripple was so hungry, Lu Ze had no choice but to get up and prepare dinner for himself and him. While the rice was steaming, Lu Ze called Shen Jinghan back.

"Aunt Han, please contact Director Xiao. I want a place for an interview. Has the time been set?"

As expected, Lu Ze called her back and asked for an interview. She knew this was the result, because when she read the script, she was impressed by the screenwriter's whimsical ideas.

"I'm sorry, Ze. I'm not very familiar with Director Xiao Fengying, and because it's a romance film, I didn't focus on this genre before, so I don't have much time to study the script for you. Starting from April 2 Starting on the 17th, the 27th, 28th, and 29th, there are three days of audition time in total. I will make an appointment for you to audition on the 29th. I will try to leave you as much time as possible to familiarize yourself with the script, so you We won’t be able to fly to Hong Kong on the 29th, so I’ll book a new ticket for you on the 30th. How about you go there on the day of the awards ceremony?”

It was really accurate at this critical moment, what else could Lu Ze say? After looking at the date, today was April 17th, so it only left Lu Ze twelve days. Time was indeed a bit tight.

"Okay, you can go to Xiangjiang on the 30th, I have no problem."

After receiving an appointment for an audition, Lu Ze let out a long sigh of relief. The cripple was looking at him and gave him a blow. Finally, the most worrying thing recently was temporarily solved. The pressure on Lu Ze was also relieved. The rice cooker beeped twice. , indicating that the rice has been steamed, patted his knees, stood up to cook, and then attacked the script!
