Global Movie Emperor

"Xiao Ju, I have a client at two o'clock in the afternoon. Come with me to meet him."

In an office building located in the center of the imperial capital, there are more than 30 people sitting in an office area of ​​more than 200 square meters. Although the room is still bright, so many desks taken up a lot of space together make it look a bit awkward. Crowded.

In the office on the front left, Director Meng interrupted Ju Yulin who was typing on the keyboard and gave instructions softly. Ju Yulin responded to express his knowledge, but he did not leave. Instead, he smiled and held the privacy screen of the desk. said.

"Today is your first salary payment. The finance department will pay you around ten o'clock in the morning. Don't forget to check."

After hearing this, Ju Yulin raised her head happily, clapped her hands in front of her mouth, and was so excited that she couldn't control her expression. She knew that her salary would be paid today, or she had been thinking about today's arrival a long time ago, and she has been thinking about it since last week. From the beginning, she lived her life in a pinch, looking at the calendar every morning and counting down the days in her heart.

I just never had the nerve to ask what time the payment was due. Although I knew in my heart that I was going crazy, I had been sending messages to the bank to check my balance for twenty minutes since I woke up in the morning, but on the surface I still had to pretend that I could wait. I am very patient and give the impression that I am not in a hurry to use money. This is also a common problem among many young people who have just entered the society. This allows many unscrupulous bosses to find a reason for these young people to passively accept the unreasonable delay in salary payment. Require.

"The expenses are over, are you happy? You've worked hard these days. Get off work early tonight. I've approved it. Go home and eat something good. Come on and work hard tomorrow."

"Thank you, director."

She sincerely thanked her. Although the inconspicuous middle-aged man in front of her was entrusted by Lu Ze, he was indeed a very kind and considerate leader. She had thought about giving up many times these days, especially when she took the last train back to her cheap apartment at night. In the rental house and on her sleepy way to work in the morning, if Director Meng hadn't taken care of her and allowed her to find a space to relax when her nerves were tense, she would have given up long ago.

This is not a personal preference for her, but an equal treatment for all his employees. Even though this is Ju Yulin's first time working, he knows that such a leader is very rare. If someone has the ability and performance, the boss will praise him. Tea talks about hard work, treats his subordinates generously, and is considerate of his employees. It is no wonder that his employees are dedicated to working with him and only recognize the director but not Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Meng didn't say anything, just waved his hand and left. Ju Yulin didn't have any thoughts about work anymore and secretly sent a text message to the bank. He really looked at the numbers on his phone and smiled from the bottom of his heart. He pursed his lips stupidly for a long time. Le, it took a long time to adjust my mood and get busy with the most basic work of the company.

…

"A cup of matcha Zangzangle, plus...a milk cap and Oreo, thank you."

Now that I have money, I first exchanged the foreign debt I owed last month, which I borrowed from my classmates. Otherwise, I really couldn’t live on, and I didn’t dare to borrow more. After all, I only have the salary as my source of income now, and it’s my second year. Ten days' salary, after deducting full attendance and five social insurances and one housing fund, is just over 6,000 yuan. In addition, I have to pay 3,500 yuan in rent. I really don't have much money at my disposal.

But after all, I have made money, and it is the first time I have made money. I have paid off the 300 yuan foreign debt, and I have become more confident. I feel like a rich man. Listening to the theme song of You Love Me, I Love You is finally a luxury. I drank a handful, and I dared to add some toppings for a cup of milk tea. I carried the milk tea and skipped through the streets.

Although I often drink milk tea at work, and it is a relatively expensive brand, it is the director’s treat after all, and it is impossible to take care of everyone’s taste. Everyone drinks the same thing, and only you know whether it suits your taste. Drinking the taste she likes and adding her favorite toppings can be called happiness for her now.

After eating a full meal, I used the parasol from someone else’s supermarket and slumped down on the bench downstairs of the office building in a large font. I didn’t care about my image or played with my mobile phone. I just stared blankly at the flow of people and vehicles. Taking a sip of milk tea from time to time, she suddenly felt something in her heart, and suddenly had some understanding of the character's mental journey.

But this part is actually far beyond the setting of the script, and is far more profound than many actors, because these parts are part of the life of a person who does not exist, but will soon exist.

After all, no actor can fully interpret a character's life.

Except Lu Ze.

"Is this you..."

Looking at the street scene, Ju Yulin's eyes were dull. His consciousness was separated from his senses, and he was completely separated from a pure fantasy world. The character was such a cheerful and sunny girl, with the same ordinary family as ordinary people, the same stinky beauty, and the same slyness. Watching tear-jerking TV series in bed, eating snacks and crying, but she is so tenaciously happy, a kind of happiness that will not be crushed. As long as she still has a source of happiness, the fire of happiness will not be extinguished. .

This source may come from the greetings of strangers, or from the flowers blooming in early spring. As long as things that can make people happy still exist in the world, her happiness will exist. She is as strong as a grass, after the wind and rain, Xiang Yang who is still working hard.

In my mind, under the setting sun, in this real office building, a small figure emerged, jumping tirelessly, facing the sunset, walking away, saying hello to acquaintances, elder brother and younger sister, She shouted eagerly, and everyone was warmed by her call. She walked to the bus stop, opened the cute cheap bag, took out the coin purse she bought for twenty yuan, gave in to others, and finally squeezed in reluctantly. After getting on the bus, I mustered up all my strength to put in the coin, and stood on the steps of the bus door. Looking out, the face was a little blurry, but it gradually overlapped with my own.

"Bah..."

The bus stopped, and the sound of deflating steam brought her back to reality. She unconsciously looked at the door, but it was empty, with no one standing anywhere.

This feeling is very strange. It is a strange feeling that Ju Yulin has never experienced at all. No other famous teacher has given her this kind of fantasy ability. Only Lu Ze has led her gradually towards the door of this fantasy world. And today, she was I accidentally pushed it away by myself.

Who among young people has not had fantasies? But this time it was completely different. It was very real. It was like seeing it for real. It was so real that people couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this back. Ju Yulin gently touched the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, and he could indeed touch a little bit. When she saw this figure, she suddenly wanted to hug that figure and make friends with her, and she firmly believed that that figure would become her best friend because she knew the figure so well. Girl on the bus.

But after shedding tears, she suddenly seemed to be infected by the happiness of that figure on the back, and she suddenly became happy, as if she had encountered two good things today, one was getting paid, and the other was meeting her. Slowly , a happy smile climbed onto Ju Yulin's cheeks, she looked around warmly, and then she was surprised to find that it was almost time to go to work, and she drank all the milk tea.

She swiftly sucked the pearl beans from the bottom of the cup. If her classmates saw this, they would definitely be surprised and regarded it as a hot topic today. After all, this young lady doesn’t touch Yang Chun Shui with her fingers. She really doesn’t lick the lid when drinking yogurt. kind.

"It's over, it's time to follow Teacher Lu's instructions..."

She was still in the afterglow of this wonderful fantasy, but she couldn't help but feel frightened. She felt that Teacher Lu had taught her an incredible trick. She whined secretly and did not dare to delay. Carrying the cheap small bag provided by the crew, she poured the milk tea After throwing the cup into the trash can, he rushed into the office building a little recklessly, and then met his colleagues who were also returning late.

"Brother Zhang, run away! It's almost time! Borrow it! Sister Li! Press the elevator for me! Please be hot!"

The camera crew not far away saw her running in and began to dismantle the equipment and prepare for the afternoon shooting. However, one of the cameramen felt a little strange. After all, he had been filming Ju Yulin for so long and already had a certain understanding of her. , turned to look at his colleague in confusion and asked: "Is Ju Yulin usually so sweet?"

"It doesn't seem like... maybe I'm happy with today's expenses. Are you not happy about your first salary?"

"I only worked for three months in my first job. The boss of Plague still owes me three months' salary. If it were you, would you be happy?"

"this……"

…

In fact, Ju Yulin was quite confused today. She didn't understand why Director Meng took her to meet clients. After all, she really came to experience life. Her work and study majors were not the right ones at all, and now she could only do the most basic work. , or just serving tea and water for others, not to mention meeting customers, she couldn't even write a plan with her, but the happiness of spending money occupied all the psychological activities in her heart today, leaving her no time to think. In addition, this After all, we are recording a program, and some minor bugs cannot be eliminated at all.

If you are really stubborn, how can you get 8,000 a month for the most basic job, a clerical job like typing a few documents? So she simply thought that the client she went to meet this time was not necessarily a real client, but was probably an actor. It was just to let her feel the atmosphere of meeting a client, so as not to reveal flaws during filming. She had to participate in the script. What she had to do, Just have a correct attitude and treat them like a formal employee, and everything will fall into place.

So she took her notebook and pen, and even a notebook just in case. After arranging her clothes in the bathroom, she followed Director Meng obediently towards the living room.

"Are you so happy after spending money?"

Director Meng was a little confused, because he knew that Ju Yulin was definitely not a child from an ordinary family. The income level of her parents was probably much higher than his. Although he had earned his first salary in his life, he thought that this money could only be used to make money. She was happy for a while, thinking that the money might be used for her daily life, but it would only be enough to buy a pair of shoes.

"You've made money, you've become a rich man!"

Responding to his words, she was still full of pleasure. She patted her chest, rubbed her neck, and gave a thumbs up, as if she had become a wealthy person. This gesture did not make Director Meng look down upon. Of course, it might also be Ju Yulin's superior appearance. Under the conditions, people can't be disgusted, and they can only think that these children in their early twenties are quite cute. Director Meng laughed out loud, but said nothing. He walked to the door of the living room and knocked lightly.

"Please come in."

This voice was a little familiar to Ju Yulin, not a little bit, but really familiar. As expected, the moment she opened the door, she was dumbfounded and stood straight at the door. If it were more abstract, there would be a question mark on her forehead.

"Dad? Mom?"

These are not the parents Lu Ze arranged for her. These are her biological parents. They are well-dressed and have a sense of nobility. They are sitting on the sofa and looking at Ju Yulin with a smile. However, they do not respond dotingly as usual and ignore her. He stood up and shook hands with Director Meng.

"Mr. Meng, please sit down."

When it comes to doting on their children, among the four parents of Lu Ze's students, Ju Yulin's parents are the most doting on their children. They are the kind of parents who will talk about their darlings for several days without seeing them. Fortunately, although the parents dotes on their children, She is addicted, but she is not ignorant of right and wrong. In addition, the girl from the Imperial City has a refreshing energy, which prevents Ju Yulin from getting into any bad habits or developing any bad habits.

However, it has been almost a month since he has seen his daughter. Ju Yulin has never been away from the two of them for such a long time. When they think of this, they can't eat anymore. They are worried about their children, but with the show The contract signed by the group clearly states that parents are not allowed to have private contact with their children without the permission of the program group, so that after seeing their children suffer, parents will be reluctant to suffer the consequences of their children and have conflicts with the program group. This is not unreasonable. past things.

Of course, students’ activities during a certain period of time must be reported to their parents to prevent them from worrying too much. What the program team strives for is that parents do not disturb the lessons arranged by teachers for students. Parents should also know what their children are doing and whether it is safe. It is best if both parties do not disturb each other and do not conflict during the cooperation period.

But Ju Yulin's parents couldn't bear it anymore. They lost several pounds in a month and didn't want to eat or drink. They couldn't bear it, so they begged the program team to let them see their child. Originally, the program team didn't agree. Firstly, I don't want to set a precedent. Secondly, it is now the time when students are finding their feelings. With Lu Ze's teaching method, it is really inconvenient to interrupt Ju Yulin's ongoing learning. After all, Lu Ze's teaching method is a bit...evil. If he is After an interruption, it is not easy to find the feeling again.

But after all, the couple knew where their daughter was and what she was doing, so they would secretly wait for their daughter to get off work at night in front of the company. Although they planned not to recognize each other and avoid causing trouble to their daughter, they just wanted to see each other from a distance and feel at ease. , but they were caught by the program crew and persuaded to go back. The two accepted the criticism and kept nodding and apologizing. In addition, they still had some status and could not do anything bad, so they could only leave in despair.

How else can they make a fortune? The couple is really evil. If you don’t let me see my daughter, why don’t I cooperate with my daughter’s company and let them come up with a publicity plan? You asked someone to send Ju Yulin to work in the company. You can't be embarrassed and cut off the company's business, right? I don’t recognize my daughter, so I just glance at her, and it’s like a hundred million glances!

This was reported to the program team. To be honest, the program team was speechless. They had never seen their daughter become such a slavish parent, but they could understand it. They had no choice but to contact Lu Ze and let Lu Ze make a decision. Lu Ze What can be done? Do you really want your parents to not see their daughter? is it possible? It's not a forced immigration plan of the Lighthouse Country. Parents see their children, isn't that what it should be?

Besides, if you are rich and are willing to do this, how can he stop you? Not only will it add more business to the company, but it will also give Ju Yulin a lot of experience. This is also a good thing. After the other party promised not to talk to the children too much, the matter was settled. Don't talk about family ties, just talk about business!

Seeing that his parents paid no attention to the child, Director Meng did not say anything. The boss had given instructions. They were well-trained and had worked for so many years. He was also a good person, so he took the step-by-step approach to formally discuss cooperation with Ju Yulin's parents.

Ju Yulin's parents are not just stupid rich people who just take money for free. They are also businessmen. They just spend the publicity budget that they had to spend and find a new company to cooperate with. Although the money is real money, they What he wants is not just a look at his daughter, he really wants something.

When discussing business, the other party is still an advertising company. As Party A, how can we get Director Meng to get a bargain? This couple really taught Ju Yulin a lesson, letting her know that every penny counts, and that her parents' money did not come from strong winds.

She was a mole, so naturally she didn't dare to say a word. Her parents found fault. Director Meng asked her to take notes, so she took them down honestly. She wrote small notes in a flash, which surprised the couple.

This kid doesn't know anything but is good at stabbing his parents in the back. It's common for him to turn his elbows outward. Now that he's working in someone else's company, he actually accepts some of their slightly excessive and unreasonable demands as a matter of course. This is Not surprising enough?

I thought Ju Yulin would say something like "It's alright" and "Don't go too far" to backbite her parents, but now she looks like a real working person, facing not her parents, but The real Party A obeys all Party A's requests, remembers the key points, and never refutes. As a result, the parents have nothing to say. They just glance at Ju Yulin from time to time and can't help but sigh in their hearts that their daughter seems to have grown up. .

This was a fairly smooth business negotiation. Although there was no conclusion, they would continue with the business improvement plan next time, and they would not see their daughter again next time. However, when the couple left, they were determined to reach a long-term cooperation with Director Meng. , because everyone who meets their daughter and kindly helps her grow up is a benefactor who needs to be thanked for her parents.

After a few hours of communication, the parents got rid of their addiction to seeing their daughter. The four of them parted ways without recognizing each other from beginning to end. They were like passers-by who met by chance. However, the feeling needs to be figured out by oneself, because the three members of this family have all seen each other's other side. On the one hand, it is time to consider whether to change the way of communication.

And what about Ju Yulin? After all, her parents, whom she has never recognized, affected the stability of the character she created to a certain extent. In other words, when she integrated with the character, a gap was opened, allowing her to become a character before she fully understood the character. It was stripped, just like railroad tracks, intertwined and then re-divided.

At some point in the future, the two will definitely overlap, but now, she can examine the character from the perspective of a bystander, which may not be a good thing.

…

The afternoon was relatively uneventful, and she had free time, which gave her the opportunity to do some miscellaneous things at work, such as writing a character biography. Although being assigned work from time to time would always interrupt her thoughts, she could write it down as quickly as possible. It’s very difficult to set some settings that you have already thought about and avoid forgetting.

Many people don’t know what a biography is. It actually creates a story about what happened to the character before the plot of the script. It’s like helping others brag about something that you can believe. For example, if you want the protagonist to kill a dragon, then When acting, you have to refer to the fact that the character has killed a dragon to formulate the character's personality. Is it difficult to say, easy or not?

I was so dizzy writing it until after work time. Director Meng approved the leave tonight, so she clocked in early to get off work. She walked along the path she had imagined at noon, greeted everyone she met, and took out the twenty yuan I bought a coin purse with money, and I showed humility to others. I finally managed to get on the bus, mustered up all my strength to put in the coins, and stood on the door steps of the bus and looked out.

After taking the bus to the subway, and then another line, it was already sunset when she arrived home. She stood in front of the barbecue restaurant, gritting her teeth and stamping her feet, but didn't go in. Then she arrived at the door of the big restaurant, walked around twice, but still didn't go in. After all, she still couldn't bear to spend the money. Finally, I ordered a small bowl of noodles and poured more chili pepper and vinegar to make it saltier than my usual taste. I endured the noodles and felt that I had earned some of the boss’s chili pepper and vinegar money. I bought a roasted pig's trotter on the roadside and ate it while walking.

When I'm hungry, I always want to eat something good. It's like an obsession, as if I have to eat. But to fill my stomach with simple food, I feel that this is okay, instead of worrying that I didn't eat good food, and the delicacies are mediocre, so this kind of Happiness came back again. She sang songs and walked briskly. She would carry half a pig's trotter in a circle in a deserted place and walk to the old building park where she lived. Then, she saw the man whose clothes were not very tidy. "Mother" is sitting on a bench in the park.

The smile stopped.

"Xiao Lin, come and sit."

In the night, under the dim street lights, the "mother and daughter" sat at each end of the bench. The photographer seemed not to exist, and neither moved in the sight of the mother and daughter. The mother's clothes were shabby, while the daughter's clothes were cheap but neat.

This is not a badly made TV drama about a poor mother asking for money from her daughter. Even if it exists in reality, you can't deny that it has indeed become a routine and cliché in such TV dramas, so Lu Ze would not choose such a script.

"This...five hundred yuan, your life is very difficult, take it."

If you were filming a TV series, Jiang Fang, who plays Ju Yulin’s mother, would definitely be amazing. In autumn, at night, under street lights, beside a bench, with shabby clothes and stacks of BUFFs, this atmosphere makes this poor mother look particularly special. It's miserable. If he had taken these five hundred, Ju Yulin would probably be scolded by the audience until his ancestors' bones were broken. But obviously, the character played by Ju Yulin is definitely not this kind of person.

"I...heh, I spent money today."

Unconsciously, it was staged. Even Ju Yulin didn't realize it. He unconsciously clasped his hands together and sandwiched them between his legs. He forced a shy smile and looked down at the ground.

Her acting skills are so high that she can't stop the car for a while. No one can compete with someone who is into the drama because you are acting and she is real. In the eyes of the photographer, this pitiful Ju Yulin is even a bit overshadowed. It was too much for the veteran actor. Even Jiang Fang noticed something was wrong and could only use 120% of her energy to compete with Ju Yulin. After all, what she wanted to perform was this scene. Ju Yulin could stop it. She can't.

The two of them are now like going up to Qiu Ming Mountain to catch shrimp fishermen. They press the accelerator to the bottom and fight. Whoever gets the gas first will get the son. It's hard to get off the tiger. This is the situation. So Jiang Fang got closer and held up the cash. Stretched out in front of Ju Yulin.

"Take it, Mom can't do anything, so I can only help you with this. Eat something good. You are so tired from work, so you need to replenish your body."

"Crack."

A teardrop fell on the banknote. It was not absorbed immediately by the banknote. Instead, it slowly rolled down to Jiang Fang's fingertips, making her feel the moistness that was still warm for a while. Then came the second drop, and the third drop, and the tears gathered on her fingertips. The curved banknotes, under the illumination of the street lights, seem to be coated with a water-wet light film.

"Damn it! I'm crying now!"

This is the inner cry of the photography brother and Jiang Fang. Let’s not mention the camera brother for the moment. Jiang Fang was a little confused for a while, but the veteran actor must have the strength. After a few seconds of reaction, he followed Ju Yulin’s emotions. The status continues to cooperate.

"Obey, can you listen to mom? Why are you crying?"

"I just feel... I feel like I'm sorry to you and my dad. I've been working for so long and haven't saved any money. I can't even afford my dad's medicine."

One has an accent from another province, and the other has a pure Beijing accent. The conversation between the two is a bit inconsistent, and it sounds a bit abrupt no matter how you listen to it. But if you see the performance of the two, you will definitely be taken in, and maybe you will accompany Ju Yulin for a few moments. Tears.

This is a short biography that Ju Yulin just wrote this afternoon. It tells about her having a father who is in poor health. Now she really believed the boast. She cried with sadness and self-blame. Jiang Fang looked at her speechlessly. Looking at the camera, I was dumbfounded when I saw my eldest brother. I had no choice but to lean over and comfort Ju Yulin softly. But in fact, I was comforting myself in my heart. In this acting showdown, she was the first to stop, and this girl was the second. Ten years old! Is this genius?

"Xiao Lin, stop crying. Mom can still make money. Be obedient. Your dad is okay. He just misses you a little. It's okay. You go home and see your dad. Did you hear me? Be obedient and stop crying."

"Mom, I have expenses. I will give you money tomorrow. Can you buy some beef for my dad to eat? Don't save. I beg you, I beg you."

Ju Yulin's cry made everyone sad and weeping. Many elder brothers who had washed their feet and were getting ready for bed heard the wind and were lying on the balcony, smoking a cigarette and looking downstairs. They didn't even see the camera. After all, there was a girl crying. Who is looking at the camera? The annoying one took out his camera and started taking pictures, and the one who had a sense of justice also started to persuade.

"Sister, there is nothing you can't overcome. Listen to brother, go home and have a good sleep. Brother will treat you to a good meal tomorrow morning. Whatever you want to eat, brother will buy it! Stop crying. This is so uncomfortable. Brother, stay here. Unit 2, Unit 601, come to me if you need anything, we have to move forward."

"you do not say."

What was said was followed. At this moment, half of the community was lively. Jiang Fang and the cameraman looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces. They only needed to communicate with their eyes.

"What to do?"

"I can't come..."

"Why don't you withdraw?"

"Get out quickly."

The communication was extremely accurate, at least Jiang Fang felt it was accurate. After comforting Ju Yulin for a long time again, she slowly pulled away, and then ran away as if she was about to fly. In the blink of an eye, the car was gone, leaving only Ju Yulin sitting there. He sobbed softly on the bench and waited for a long time before getting up and entering the unit building under the gaze of others.

…

"Teacher Lu, a short video platform has posted a video. Do you want to cool down the heat?"

The news quickly reached Lu Ze's ears. Lu Ze was a little confused at first, but he quickly realized it. With a smile on his face, he negotiated with the PD on the other end of the phone. Can this matter be heated up? Of course it can, it's another adult's collapse scene, but can we use this effect to increase the popularity of the show?

In fact, it depends on how to fry.

"No, you need to discuss it with Mr. Zhang and Director Liu. Don't post our perspective. Just clarify that it's a variety show. Don't let the public think it's true. Don't cause any negative impact. Ju Yulin's identity should also be kept secret first. The program Don’t use your name to gain attention like we do with this kind of thing. If Mr. Zhang and Director Liu think that my decision is okay, then you can do it and remember not to cause any adverse effects."

After the other party responded a few words, he hung up the phone. Lu Ze still couldn't stop smiling. He made a fist with his right hand and put it to his mouth. He put the knuckle of his index finger against the corner of his mouth. He shook his head slightly and took a deep breath.

"I didn't expect that the first one to find the feeling was Xiaoju. Not bad, not bad."

"..."
