Global Movie Emperor

In the blink of an eye, more than one month has passed, and the season has changed from late spring to midsummer. However, the temperature in the British summer is much lower than that in China, stably maintaining below 30 degrees Celsius. If you are not in a coastal city, rainy days will account for most of the year. Generally speaking, Liverpool is really a very suitable city for retirement.

Thanks to Lu Ze, the crew had evacuated Kassel Island yesterday and ended the filming of the island life. However, it was precisely because of Lu Ze's stable performance that the filming cycle was half ahead of schedule, completely disrupting Kessel's life. The filming sequence planned by Shah caused the crew to stop production for three days, leaving Kesha to readjust the shooting schedule.

After bidding farewell to the Hawaiian-style manor room and sleeping on his own bed again, Lu Ze suddenly had the illusion that the room had become smaller. Although his residence was now regarded as the top rich man's residence in Liverpool, compared with the manor, the gap was still very large. Obviously, there is no comparison.

But despite the small size of the room, Lu Ze's sleep quality was much higher than that in the manor guest room. His own bed provided a sense of security that the guest bedroom could not provide. Perhaps this is what China calls a small room to gather energy.

Eight hours of sleep is enough. I go into the bathroom refreshed to take care of my appearance. My dark skin is shining with a healthy luster, which also makes my face look more resolute.

But Lu Ze, who was originally in a good mood, felt a haze when he washed and rubbed his hair. The amount of hair falling off in his hands was larger than normal. He looked in the mirror and lifted his bangs, and found that the hairline had not moved up. He used his mobile phone. After taking a photo of the back of the head, there was no obvious thin spot, which made Lu Ze feel more at ease.

The water quality in the UK is relatively hard, and long-term contact with the scalp will indeed cause hair loss. Just look at the princes of the British royal family. Most of them are Mediterranean in age. Lu Ze didn't take it to heart before. After all, he has thick hair, let alone hair loss. , even gray hair is rare, but now, this handful of hair in his hand reminded him.

He really needs to protect his hair, otherwise baldness will narrow the drama. Not to mention, if he really changes into a kappa hair style, then he will really be shameless in public, just like Song Guiyuan, he will probably be a joke. Kill him.

Faced with hair loss, even if he is as calm as Lu Ze, he will panic and even dare not use tap water to clean his hair. He goes to the kitchen to get a bucket of mineral water and cleans his hair. He is still thinking about whether to use some hair growth products. .

Lu Ze had been worried about this matter all morning. It was not an option to wash his hair with mineral water from now on. While he was worrying, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Mickey's call.

"Hello? Why are you calling me so early?"

"The filming over at Lantai is over, and the winner has been selected. If you are okay, come to the company now. Kesha and the others are also in the company. Set their filming date, and think about inserting it into that character. Better."

"Who won the championship?"

"What's the man's name... let me see, oh, Ding Zhiyi, the woman's name is Xu Shuang. Okay, we'll talk about the details later. There's one more thing, oh, forget it, you can talk about it in the company. "

"Ding Zhiyi..."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ze showed a smile. This was a name that he missed. At first, the two of them had collaborated in "The Wrong Love", but the film had a mediocre reputation, and they had no contact after that.

He had met him at the recording site of Blue Stage before, but before they could talk, he was delayed by the negotiation. He was expecting Ding Zhiyi to call him, but for some reason, his phone number was always there. It didn't appear on Lu Ze's caller ID.

The last time I saw him, although he still looked like a handsome young boy, he was actually thirty years old. Lu Ze would sometimes feel this. Time really passed too fast. In the blink of an eye, the original cream Xiao Ding is also about to miss the golden period of his career as a good-looking actor.

Compared to Lu Ze, who has been working hard in Europe in recent years and has a prosperous career, Ding Zhiyi's career in China is relatively bleak. Obviously his acting skills are remarkable, but the most important thing is that he works hard enough and his learning ability is not weak. Coupled with that extra-point face, it is no exaggeration to say that he has unlimited potential.

But this good young man is trapped in a romance movie and can't get out of it. The film offers he's been given are basically romance stuff. Even if he doesn't film enough, the audience has almost had enough.

Logically speaking, it's a good time to shoot romantic movies in your early twenties. After all, your acting skills are still immature. It's the right choice to shoot something simple and popular. After you're twenty-five, it's not a shame to shoot these movies. , maybe even a hit, it doesn’t matter if you take a gamble.

But once you are over 30, filming these things is a bit unjust for a movie actor whose acting skills have matured, and he can easily become the target of ridicule.

To put it bluntly, romance movies are most appropriate as a jumping-off choice for TV drama actors, or as a whetstone for young actors who are new to the industry. However, for actors who have been in the industry for several years, or even more than ten years, filming the kind of coaxing little ones is a must. Movies about girls having fun are undoubtedly self-destructive.

Obviously, Ding Zhiyi is also aware of this. He tried to transform for the first time three years ago and even jumped through hoops to shoot a costume TV series. However, the effect was not good and far from expected.

Since then, the company has stopped mentioning his transformation and asked him to get back on track, at least until there is a real turnaround, to continue shooting movies that are suitable for him. This implies that of course he understands that his fate has been decided by the top management. It sets the tone. Either you continue to make trouble and be abandoned by the company, or you make money for the company until you are old and can no longer make money, and then you are abandoned by the company.

He was unwilling to give up, but he did not dare to resist. He was depressed for several years. It was not until the appearance of "The Performer" that things turned around. He was worried about how many resources he had given up, how many colleagues he had offended, and how many senior executives of the company he had made dissatisfied. Obviously, he still hopes to give it a try. As long as he wins, he can win back everything he lost, and the problems that plague his career can be solved.

This is all Lu Ze learned. Lu Ze was not surprised that he could win this championship. Even his purpose of warning Lan Tai not to allow big shady stories was to give Ding Zhiyi a chance. If no one controls it, He couldn't win the championship. His level had declined so seriously that Lu Ze had nothing to say.

This is good news. Lu Ze does not deny that he prefers Ding Zhiyi. He prefers those he admires more among a group of unfamiliar players. It is just human nature. As long as things are done fairly, others can't fault him.

He put the breakfast plate in the dishwasher, changed into a T-shirt and shorts, and walked out the door, heading in the direction of the company. He knew in his heart that the main reason why Mickey called him was definitely the second thing he didn't say. related.

…

Carrying the car keys, he said hello to Jill, the old man in the mailroom. He knocked on the door of the conference room. After getting a response, he opened the door. The windows inside were all open. The ashtray was full of cigarette butts. Mickey sat in the main seat, holding a cigarette in his mouth. He was writing furiously while holding a cigarette butt. When Lu Ze entered the room, he didn't even raise his head.

He pulled out the stool and blew away the scattered cigarette ashes on the table. He threw the car keys beside the table, crossed his hands and leaned on the chair with his eyes closed, not disturbing Mickey.

"Huh... coming?"

The cigarette butt burned his mouth. Mickey put out the cigarette butt, stretched his waist, and then said hello to Lu Ze. He pinched the corners of his eyes with his fingers and yawned long.

"You didn't sleep all night?"

"To be precise, I haven't slept for two days. Lucas and the others will be here later. Then we will discuss the role. Now it's just the two of us in the room. Let me tell you something else."

"Um?"

Seeing that Mickey's eyes were as dark as a panda's and that he was exhausted, Lu Ze shook his head, got up and poured him a cup of coffee, but did not persuade him to take a rest early. After all, this man was always risking his life when he worked, and he didn't follow even if he tried to persuade him. I advise the same.

"I got inspired a few days ago, and I have new ideas that I want to film. I've been busy writing scripts these days. Alas... it's much better to drink some coffee."

“Having trouble with the new script?”

When Lu Ze saw that his brows were furrowed, unlike when he usually relaxed his brows and showed a happy smile after writing a script, Lu Ze knew that this script was quite difficult. Not only would Mickey not be able to handle it, it would at least give him difficulties for a while.

"Yes, the emotional line is a bit difficult. It is difficult for me to write a character who is extremely tender and flawless, like white moonlight. It is too difficult. A normal person cannot be pure good or pure evil. Under the seven emotions and six desires, good and evil should be integrated, not opposites. A person who is always kind does not exist in my cognition, so I cannot write it."

"I'm not good at screenwriting, and I can't even write it."

"But you are a monster actor who can play all kinds of people in the world. At least you can give me some advice."

"Okay, I'll try my best..."

Lu Ze picked up the manuscript paper and saw that the pen water on it was not yet dry. He blew lightly. After the pen water stopped touching his hands, he stared at the words on it. After reading the first page, he picked up the second page and briefly Two minutes later, his eyes narrowed, and even his pupils shrank, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Mickey with a serious face.

"What did you write?"

Mickey lit another cigarette, grinned, loosened the rubber band that tied his long hair, and shook his head, his long hair full of oil shimmered. Lu Ze noticed that his hair was also a little thin...

Of course this is not important.

"Are not you just saw it?"

"You're such a fucking lunatic!"

"I take it as a compliment, but I can't bear it. I'm very awake, more awake than anyone else. It's you who are sleeping in a sweet dream. I've already thought of the movie title. How about "No One Can Hear"? etc. You have finished filming "Exile" and Fatino's killer movie. It is expected to start filming in two years, and you, the actor emperor of the Dragon Clan, will play the male lead. In the past two years, I will continue to polish this story, and then together with you, it will explode this world."

His expression was a little fierce, but the smile at the corner of his mouth never disappeared. He held a cigarette butt in his mouth and stared at Lu Ze, expecting his response. Lu Ze was speechless for a moment, looking into Mickey's eyes and recognizing him again. Even Lu Ze shuddered at Mickey's outlook.

He wanted to make a story.

The story of a child with a birth defect.

The story of a disabled child who endured school violence for eight years, but no one told him.

There are many horrors in the world, but the most chilling ones are hidden on campus.
