Global Movie Emperor

Opening the thick glass door, the wind with strong ocean smell instantly hits your nostrils, blowing your hair messy and flying, and then smoothing it down with a pair of big hands. In the distance, there is a large ship sailing directly to the port in the sparkling waves, and the automated disassembly equipment transports human beings to the sea. Eliminated, there will no longer be the bustle of workers under the containers.

He listened to the sound of paper being flipped and went to the fish tank, grabbed some fish food and sprinkled it into the water. The fish tank was not small, with two cubes in size. The ecology of the tank was created by a master. Under the premise that it was suitable for the survival of fish, It increases the beauty of viewing. Unfortunately, there are only two red mint fairy in the tank, which looks a bit empty.

But he is also clever and does not pay full attention when eating. Just tap the tank with your finger and the fish will wag its tail and swim far away. This liveliness is quite interesting.

"Mr. Lu, I've finished reading."

"good."

In response, he sat back at the desk. The middle-aged man in front of him still had a solemn expression after thinking for a moment. He placed the paper on the table, as if he was thinking about how to persuade Lu Ze to be less responsible for his own health. .

His name is Kenny, the personal doctor and nutritionist hired by Lu Ze. This time, he is giving Lu Ze a physical examination to protect his future weight loss plan for "No One Can Hear".

"You are in good physical condition. Except for some injuries that need to be avoided from reoccurring after strenuous exercise, the rest are minor problems, but... I really don't recommend that you lose weight quickly in the short term, and it is as big as thirty kilograms. Weight, this will put a greater burden on the body. Three months is too short, and it will definitely cause irreversible damage to the body. Judging from your current physical condition, at least half a year is still under special self-discipline. to complete it, after all, your body fat is only 14%."

"I'm not that nervous about time. Three months is just the shortest time I expected. If you say you can lose weight, then of course it's best. If not... then forget it, it doesn't matter."

"I really hope you say it doesn't matter if you can't lose 30 kilograms. I even want to actively advise you to forget it. What does it matter if you lose less? But after thinking about it, I feel that I should understand your pursuit of art. If you If you just gave up that easily, you wouldn't become such a great actor, but an ordinary person like me."

After talking for a while, he shook his head and smiled. It seemed that he had nothing to say. After putting Lu Ze's physical examination form into a brown paper bag, he stood up and shook hands with Lu Ze with a smile, and finally described the plan he had made.

"Your physical trainer has already contacted me. When I return, I will work with the trainer to formulate your diet. It will be sent to your email in about three to four days. Some nutritional supplements also need to be fully prepared. After you start training, I will come over every three days to check on your health. In addition, if you feel any discomfort, even a trace of fatigue, you must call me immediately and stop training. You will be a herbivore for half a year. Well, I wish you good luck Mr. Lu, so that’s it for today?”

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

This will be a difficult experience. In a way that Lu Ze has never experienced before, it is certainly difficult to lose weight to fifty-five kilograms while ensuring health, but as Kenny just said, if He always likes to play simple, and he won't be who he is today, so come on, it's all small problems.

After sending the smuggled doctor away, the day has just begun. He puts on a crisp suit and picks up a bag of instant vegetable juice. It is produced by a new company. I don’t know if it is an IQ tax, but it tastes pretty good. He likes it. drink.

The Cullinan, which was originally covered with dust, also underwent a major maintenance, and was parked in front of him as clean as new. Lu Ze originally wanted to sell the Cullinan to fill the company's financial gap, but it was only a few hundred thousand. Ou is a drop in the bucket for the operation of the company. If you smash it in, you won't hear a sound.

And the company really needed a luxury car to act as a front when necessary, so Lu Ze's willingness to share hardships with Mickey was put on hold.

With vegetable juice in mouth, I got in the car and started the ignition. The car started quietly and headed in the direction of the company. It has been like this every day since I came back from Italy. Although there is no company, it is more comfortable to be in a lively place than to stay at home alone. In short Finding something to do for yourself is an essential skill in life.

The headquarters was still as lively as usual, and many reporters even started to squat at the door. This was a trend that started after "Exile" was released. After Fatini's warning, the reporter friends also restrained themselves a lot, and just stayed at the door. While squatting and taking pictures, Mickey turned a blind eye and didn't do anything more extreme. He was even happy for them to do this. After all, entertainment companies always need some exposure.

After getting off the car, I ignored the reporters who could only take pictures of what I was wearing every day. When I walked into the company, I could hear the sound of rock music from a distance, accompanied by people's laughter, coming from upstairs.

Old Gil has been dressing up very handsomely these days, maybe because he met his wife. When he was sitting in the mail room, he never forgot to wear a gentleman's hat, as if the sun could really shine in from the west window. When he saw Lu Ze Finally, he put down the newspaper and took off his hat to Lu Ze, looking a bit like an old gentleman, a serious British gentleman.

On the second floor, when Mickey and the others opened the door to the conference room they usually use most, a group of people were playing kettle-throwing. The table tennis balls jumped on the bottles and cans placed in specific positions. Finally, they passed by the Coke cup, leaving this big group of people. The gangsters held their heads in regret.

"Mr. Lu, good morning."

"coming?"

Everyone put down their toys and said hello to Lu Ze. Except for the grandson who was still holding his head and wailing, everyone showed respect to Lu Ze. Lu Ze responded, but out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a boy who didn't adapt well to the environment.

"Charlie, welcome back, how was your time on the set?"

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, it's very good. I learned a lot."

The blond and blue-eyed boy grabbed the corner of his clothes. Facing Lu Ze, who was a head taller than him, he raised his head and responded shyly. Although his expression was well controlled, the action of grabbing the corners of his clothes made the problem obvious. After being exposed to Lu Ze, thanks to Tomic, after most of the actors in the company joined the crew, the directors would treat actors from "Universal Brothers Pictures" differently from actors from other companies.

This is a way of treating actors that is significantly different from other actors in the crew, so that their error tolerance rate is much lower than that of actors from other companies. Often, the second or third time they get stuck, the director's criticism will come. , in this case, the actor's psychological state is actually very depressed.

If it weren't for the fact that the acting quality of the actors selected by Lu Ze was really good, and that the directors who were indirectly offended by Mickey couldn't really find any faults, it is estimated that the atmosphere and appearance of the actors who were having fun in front of them would definitely not be the same. Be energetic like this.

But Charlie is different. In fact, his psychological quality is not very good, and he does not have a long period of acting experience like other actors in the company. Moreover, Lu Ze needs to admit that compared to other actors, when he recruited Charlie, he was indeed too Paying attention to appearance and temperament, as for acting skills, I can only say that I have a lot of acting talent, but it will take a long time to transform into real strength.

It seemed that Charlie was not living well in his first crew. Mickey was the first to sense it and sent a text message asking Lu Ze to persuade him. The main purpose of Lu Ze coming here today was for this.

After taking a cup of coffee and sitting next to Charlie, the two of them watched the ping pong ball jump into the Coke cup. The crowd burst into cheers, making the two people who did not celebrate look a little out of place.

He took out a custom-made cigar box from the suit lining. It was made of alloy, light in weight and had an excellent grip. The sound of the bumper popping out was crisp and clear, which attracted Charlie's attention. He watched Lu Ze take out a classic-sized cigar and put it in the box. He lit it on his lips and remained silent. When Lu Ze handed the cigar box to him, he waved his hand and refused.

“The first cigar after the first shoot?”

"I don't know how to suck, thank you."

"It's very expensive. It costs about 200 euros a piece. It tastes good. Why don't you come and try it?"

At this time, Lu Ze didn't seem like a good person. He seemed to be trying his best to promote his products. This made Charlie a little uneasy. He didn't want to, but he was embarrassed to refuse the recommendation of his boss and idol. After a long pause, he bit. He gritted his teeth and firmly refused again.

"I really don't know how to suck, thank you sir."

After repeated refusals, Lu Ze put away the cigar box, threw it on the table and ignored it. He opened his lips lightly, and smoke flowed out from the corners of his mouth. The open window was like a natural range hood, blowing away this thin layer of smoke. The mist is sucked away, giving fresh air back to the room.

He leaned back on the chair, held the cigar with three fingers and gently turned it, turned back, and said to Charlie with a smile.

"Every time I light a cigar, it's like a dream. It's incredible when I think about it. Do you know why Charlie?"

"Why?"

“I could smoke this cigar in thirty minutes, but when I was eighteen, it was my month’s salary.”

This surprised Charlie a little, but not to the level of surprise. But listening to Lu Ze's words, he could feel a hint of something else, something worth pondering for him.

He is a fan of Lu Ze, and naturally knows about Lu Ze's fame history, but in his memory, Lu Ze is a wild actor who was not born in a class. With his own talent, he quickly stood out from the Chinese TV drama industry. As for the earlier past, there is no deeper understanding.

Before Charlie could fully understand the meaning of Lu Ze's words, Lu Ze started talking to himself again.

"When I was the same age as you, I worked as a waiter in a restaurant. The exchange rate at that time was about 1:11. Calculated, my monthly salary is about 180 euros."

One hundred and eighty euros. In the UK, only homeless people and refugees would probably regard this as a large amount of money. From a waiter to a movie star, the gap between the two is like a chasm. Charlie didn't say anything, but he already understood. What Lu Ze meant.

"Later I heard that I could make a lot of money as a group performer, so I took 200 euros and took a train for more than 40 hours to come to another environment that was completely unfamiliar to me and started to work as a group performer. From that time on, I I started my acting career. At first I was stupid and couldn't do anything. I got scolded a lot and suffered a lot. After more than a year, I slowly started to improve. I heard that an economic company was recruiting people, so I I was introduced and officially became an actor.”

This is the completely opposite Lu Ze from the online encyclopedia. He is not as talented, but more real. Charlie sees the thick layer of calluses on Lu Ze’s hands and the dots of scars on the back of his hands. He gradually feels for the former Lu Ze. Have your own understanding.

"Have you ever been scolded by the director?"

"Of course, the director can't live without scolding me for a day, but Charlie, what I want to say is that other people's definition of you will always exist in the future, not stay in the present, because every breath you take, You are getting closer to the future, and you are also saying goodbye to the past. If you only dwell on the mistakes you made in the past, then you will still not be recognized by others in the future. Since it has become the past, it is time to let it go. "

What Lu Ze said was true. There was no reason that Charlie couldn't understand anymore, and he suddenly fell silent. Young boys are always inexplicably shy about being comforted. Maybe they really have been belittled too much on the set. Lu Ze could clearly feel his body shaking slightly, so he reached out and rubbed Charlie's soft golden hair.

This is a medicine with miraculous effects. After a brief tremor, Charlie calmed down again, but his nose was still sore, and he would take a sniff every now and then.

Charlie finally raised his head, revealing his handsome face, freed from the obstruction of his long hair. Then, a white hand gently lifted up and slowly stretched out to the table, the hand with delicate silver texture and Calfskin-wrapped cigar box.

With a slight pick of his fingers, the safety lever made a crisp and melodious mechanical sound again, and the lid automatically popped open, showing Charlie a hand-rolled Cuban cigar. After hesitating for a moment, his slender fingers finally grasped the leftmost one, and Pick it up slowly...

"Bah, bang, bang...little Charlie is starting to grow!"

I don’t know since when, everyone’s attention has been focused on Lu Ze and Charlie. When he picked up the cigar, applause began to ring out. This was more of a symbolic meaning than smoking or growing up.

Charlie was still a little shy, and was at a loss with the cigar in his mouth. He just nodded and thanked the big brothers and sisters in his company. Even when Mickey lit the lighter and came over, he subconsciously prepared to light it for himself. Last one.

It wasn't until after being patted on the head that Lu Ze snatched the cigar away and put it back into the box that he realized something was wrong. He looked at Lu Ze who was attacking from behind with a dull expression.

"Can you learn something good at a young age?"

Lu Ze quickly put the cigar box into his arms, slapped Mickey's black hand away, picked up the ping pong ball placed on the table, and threw it to the pots and pans placed there. After the crash...

It fell into the Coke cup.
