Opportunities
Lu Yan, who returned to work the next day, temporarily let go of the emotional touch caused by Su Mo’s reappearance. The previous job had come to an end, and there were more job opportunities waiting for him.
Lu Yan took over several scripts from Qin Feng and carefully selected them.
The current Lu Yan, although he had not yet achieved a big hit, and was not too famous, there was still a lot of room for choosing a script. For example, these few scripts in his hand had already been screened by Qin Feng, and they were basically not too shabby in terms of story and lineup.
When Lu Yan saw the last book, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This was a script called “Sniper”, and the story was not complicated. It told the story of how a sniper who was left behind in the jungle survived the enemy’s blocking and finally fought back, and finally successfully rescued the heroine and the army. Because the protagonist was fighting alone in most cases, there were not many lines, which also meant that there would be a lot of action language and expression language, which was actually a test of acting skills. The location of the story took place in the jungle, which was also a point of interest in this movie. There would be a large amount of descriptions about the crisis in the jungle and survival in the wild. As for the relationship, the male and female protagonists only met in the final ‘hero saves the beauty’. On the contrary, the battle of wits and courage between the hero and the enemy leader in the jungle was very interesting.
Movies with such a theme actually had a small market in China. On the one hand, there was a lack of directors who could control them. On the other hand, it was also related to the aesthetic habits of domestic fans. But such a film, if done well, would be very attractive, and it was easy to win the favor of foreign film festivals.
In fact, the film had indeed won very high honors in foreign film festivals.
Lu Yan remembered very clearly that when the film was just released in China, the results were really poor, and it was taken off the shelves in less than a week. However, the same film won the Best Picture award as a dark horse at the Cannes Film Festival. The news was sent back to China, causing an uproar on the Internet. It was re-released at the initiative of various theaters. This time it got an excellent box office. This unprecedented twists and turns made Lu Yan remember this movie firmly. Lu Yan remembered that he went to the theater to watch it twice.
Lu Yan remembered clearly that the director of this film was Zhou Yingcai, a young and cutting-edge director who was originally unknown. Because of this film, he was well-known both at home and abroad, ranking among the first-class directors in China. The few films he made later, Lu Yan, also paid attention to it at that time, but there was no such stunning work.
Lu Yan also remembered that the male lead in the film was called Song Lian. He was originally a second- and third-tier actor. Because of this film, he was awarded the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Since then, his stardom had been smooth, his luck was really good.
Lu Yan never thought that he would have the opportunity to be associated with this legendary movie. But no matter what the reason is for changing the plot, maybe it was Lu Yan’s rebirth that flapped the butterfly’s wings. Since the opportunity came to him, Lu Yan would never let it go.
So, Lu Yan pulled out the script without hesitation, and said to Qin Feng, “Brother Feng, I want to take this play.”
Qin Feng looked at the script, and frowned slightly, “This one, the story is quite innovative, but the director is not famous and I don’t know if it can be done well, and the domestic market doesn’t seem to be very suitable for such a theme. Do you want to think about it again, I think this “Top Secret” is also very good. The director is Zhang Qi, the heroine Chu Yun is still the queen of movies, and it is said that there will be a few big-name stars. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate?”
Lu Yan was naturally convinced of Qin Feng’s judgment, and the final box office of this “Top Secret” indeed verified this. It’s just, who let Lu Yan had such a powerful cheating weapon as rebirth in his hands. Compared with the temptation of Cannes actor, no matter how high the box office was, it was not enough to see, so this was not a multiple-choice question at all.
The only difficulty for Lu Yan laid in how to convince Qin Feng. After all, he couldn’t disclose the rebirth to others anyway. Judging from the current situation, Qin Feng’s choice was more correct.
Lu Yan thought for a while, but still said, “Brother Feng, I think this movie is very unique. If I miss it, I don’t know if I will have a chance to see it again. Anyway, the filming cycle of such a movie shouldn’t be too long, so let me try it.”
Qin Feng was a little surprised by Lu Yan’s insistence. Usually, most of their opinions were the same, and occasionally they disagreed. Lu Yan generally agreed with his choice, but this time it was a bit abnormal.
But what Lu Yan said was right, not to mention young people, it was always good to have a little bit of vigor, even if the results of this film were not good, it would not have much impact, Qin Feng nodded, “Okay then, just take this one. I’ll contact them”
Lu Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was still thinking about how he should continue to persuade without revealing anything if Qin Feng did not agree, he didn’t expect Qin Feng to agree so quickly.
The other party probably didn’t expect that Lu Yan would accept this movie. When he sent the invitation, he just thought that Lu Yan’s image and conditions were very suitable, but after all, it was a movie with little fame and no big production.
When Qin Feng confirmed with the other party, he felt that the other party’s tone was so unexpected that he almost jumped up. Lu Yan smiled and didn’t say a word, but he thought in his heart that he was the one who should be grateful.
However, the film was still in the preparatory stage, and other roles had not yet been decided, so the crew was not so fast. It just so happened that Lu Yan’s first EP was about to come out, and the time after the promotion will be able to link.
After finishing the later stages of the three songs, Lu Yan, Bai Xi and Lin Mu tried to listen to them together, and the effect was very good. Lu Yan’s voice and music were perfectly integrated, and it sounded very comfortable.
Bai Xi and Lin Mu were both satisfied. The former thought that Lu Yan expressed the emotions in his lyrics well; Lin Mu thought that Lu Yan interpreted his songs well.
Lu Yan was also very satisfied. He thought that even in front of such excellent lyrics, his singing was not much inferior.
But somehow, listening to such a perfect late stage, Lu Yan unexpectedly remembered what he heard in the Su Mo car that day, which was not perfect but had another moving song. He closed his eyes slightly. At that time, Su Mo’s side face with a twisted meaning appeared in his mind, and he could feel the slightly trembling eyelashes.
No matter what the final result was, this person had indeed settled into his heart bit by bit. Lu Yan thought so.
Qin Feng quickly worked out a publicity plan with the company’s publicity department.
First of all, the trial version of the three songs would be released on the Internet, and the promotion efforts would be increased on major online platforms. Naturally they didn’t have to worry about fans, it was mainly to attract more passers-by fans. After the official release, several autographs would be held in several major cities.
The response of the online audition was very good, and the hit rate on the first day exceeded 10 million. The appeal of Bai Xi and Lin Mu’s cooperation was really extraordinary. After listening to it, they were immediately convinced by Lu Yan’s voice, and many fans shouted that the male god sang so well. Lu Yan posted a link to the audition on his Weibo, and the number of retweets became the highest that day.
The autograph meeting was finally decided to be three, respectively in S City, G City and C City. There was a day between each event, which was a bit rushed, but time waits for no one, and it was always the most likely to arouse the passion of fans at the beginning.
The autograph was a great success. The weather was getting warmer, but the fans did not lose their enthusiasm at all. Every event was full of people. After signing, Lu Yan’s hand was about to break.
Fortunately, the results were gratifying. Lu Yan proved his strength beyond acting, and he was one step closer to their goal of becoming a superstar.
After the EP was released, Lu Yan started a period of continuous announcements, and he spent much less time in and out of the company, and he ignored the attention to certain people. When he accidentally knew it, it was not because of a coincidence, but because the other party didn’t mean to cover it up at all.
Also, although the frequency of President Su changing partners was not particularly high, it was actually not low. As for his partner being replaced by a man, it was not surprising for those who knew President Su’s temperament to take everything between men and women. What made Lu Yan feel a sense of crisis was that the man beside Su Jue was Xu Yongzhou.
Lu Yan stood at the corner of the company’s underground parking lot and quietly watched Xu Yongzhou, who was not far away, get into Su Jue’s car.
The two of them ended up being together. Lu Yan, who was familiar with the past, was naturally not too surprised when he saw them together, but he was a little regretful that the butterfly wings he brought from his rebirth did not fan them.
Another question Lu Yan considered was, if Xu Yongzhou used Su Jue’s relationship against him, would he succeed?
Lu Yan pondered, but did not notice a slender figure approaching from behind, “You don’t look very good.”
When Lu Yan heard the sound, he turned around and saw Mu Xiao standing there quietly. Haven’t seen her for a while, she lost a lot of weight.
Seeing that Lu Yan didn’t speak, Mu Xiao smiled slightly, still the same kind of smile that didn’t reach the bottom of her eyes. She raised her chin, which was the direction Su Jue’s car drove away, “You seem a little surprised.”
Lu Yan couldn’t judge Mu Xiao’s attitude for a while, so he simply said nothing.
Sure enough, Mu Xiao’s pretentiously calm face loosened a little, and she sighed slightly, “Would you like to have a drink together?”
Lu Yan finally spoke in a low tone, “Is this necessary?” Their friendship was not very good. Although Lu Yan didn’t take Mu Xiao’s unfriendly attitude to heart, he wouldn’t be friendly either. She maintained a hypocritical manner.
Mu Xiao laughed at himself, “Just to comfort a brokenhearted person like me.”
Lu Yan thought for a while, he also had something to ask Mu Xiao, and nodded in agreement.
