This star is too fierce

Chapter 305, going to South Korea to record a variety show
"Kah, that's it for today."

Wu Jinyuan saw that it was almost dusk, and the time did not match the plot, so he stopped filming and announced that work was over. The remaining three scenes had to be filmed tomorrow.

"Brother Xiaoyao, my mother is going to cook something delicious today, so you can have dinner with us." Liu Yifei was not in a hurry to remove her makeup, and first extended an invitation to Lu Bu.

"Thank you." Lu Bu pointed to Xia Yu who was waiting outside the venue, and then said to Liu Yifei, "I have an appointment tonight, and next time I will taste Aunt Liu's cooking skills."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your gathering with your friends." Liu Yifei recognized Xia Yu and knew that Lu Bu didn't just find a reason to refuse, so he left obediently.

"Second brother, do you still watch the sequel tonight?" She just walked away when Tong Yaya chased after her.

"I'm going to have dinner with my friends later. I don't know when I'll be back..." These two girls, together with Jiang Xin, An Yixuan, Hu Yu, Peng Yuyan, Xie Junhao, Zhang Jin, and Yu Feihong, would come here every night. Lu Bu’s room to watch "The Criminal of the Great Song Dynasty" together, because the large LCD TV he moved from the rental room in Hengdian, watching the drama is so enjoyable, "Well, I will give you the key to the room, and I will give it to them at night open the door."

"Ah?" Tong Yaya hesitated for a while, although she really wanted to get the key to his room, but it seemed that it was not good, "How about you give it to Brother Jin, it will be better."

"He will go to dinner with us." Lu Bu saw her coy look, and instantly understood that she was worried that someone would gossip, so he said, "I'll give it to Hu Jia, and let him open the door for you when the time comes."

"Yes." Tong Yaya nodded and left obediently.

Lu Bu hurriedly removed his make-up and changed his clothes, and then drove Yu Feihong, Xia Yu, and Zhang Jin to the original ecological hotpot restaurant in Shudi.

That's right, it's their chain store, which has already opened in Hengdian.

So far, there are more than 31 stores across the country, covering [-] cities, all of which are directly operated stores without any franchise stores.

The secret authentic Sichuan-flavored hot pot base, and the consistent adherence to customer-oriented, simple and efficient service, as well as the development direction of continuously improving the production process and taste of hot pot, have huge advantages that traditional hot pot cannot match in the market.

In just three years, it has become the first in the industry in terms of "taste, dishes, service, and word of mouth".

"Slightly spicy."

"Row."

It was Xia Yu who made the request. He is from Qingdao. Although he can eat spicy food, he can't compare with Sichuan and Chongqing.

The same is true for Yu Feihong. As a native of Hangzhou, she used to have a bland taste and basically didn’t eat spicy food. She learned it after learning from Lu Bu. Now she can eat mildly spicy food casually, barely eat medium spicy food, and can’t eat extra spicy food.

And Lu Bu and Zhang Jin, one from Chengdu and one from Chongqing, are naturally "not afraid of spicy, not afraid of spicy, afraid of not spicy", but they don't always try to increase the degree of spiciness. After all, eating too much is not good for the body. .

"You have dozens of hot pot restaurants, right? How much money can you make a year?" Xia Yu hardly invests, because he can't grasp it, and puts his money in the bank for a fixed period of time, but he likes to talk about finance.

"Actually, I didn't make much money. Last year's business was considered good. The net profit of a store was only 30 to [-] yuan." Lu Bu replied.

"No way, just earn this little?" Xia Yu didn't believe it.

"First of all, the cost is high. We use good-quality and fresh ingredients. In order to provide high-quality services, a store has a sufficient number of employees and arranges training. The wages are also high. Then the price is low. There is no pursuit of profit. And excessively raised the price of vegetables, taking the route of being close to the people." Lu Bu explained.

"Environment, service, ingredients, taste, you have nothing to say about this hot pot restaurant. When I was on vacation at home in Qingdao, I would take my parents to eat twice a month." Xia Yu couldn't help boasting, and continued: "How many stores are you going to open? Are they all over the country, in large, medium and small cities?"

"It's exaggerated." Lu Bu smiled lightly, and said, "We set a goal before, which is to open [-] stores in five years, and then cover [-] big cities."

"That's amazing enough." While speaking, Xia Yu had already looked at the menu, and said with a "huh": "Why is there no set meal of ecological chicken, duck and goose? Is this dish only available in Yanjing?"

"Because of the cooperative pilot project in three impoverished villages in a township in Yunnan, the number of chickens, ducks and geese per season is relatively small, and the transportation cost is relatively high, so now there are only stores in Kunming, Shanghai and Yanjing. "Lu Bu also prefers to eat free-range chickens, ducks and geese. The meat is firmer, pure and delicious, but there are not so many of them available to all the shops.

"Why don't you raise more?" Xia Yu asked puzzled. As long as this stuff is on the menu, it must be in short supply.

"There are risks in raising chickens, ducks and geese. If villagers raise more than a dozen chickens at home, a few of them will die. At most, it is thanks to some corn and dregs. But once the number rises to a few hundred, accidents will happen The loss was heavy, and we went to win-win cooperation instead of losing money." Lu Bu explained the reason.

"That's true, in case there is chicken plague, bird flu or something." Xia Yu didn't think too much about it.

"Your mouth..." Lu Bu glared at him.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's bad, it's not working." Xia Yu said with a dry smile.

"Yu, do you want to act in a TV series or a movie in the second half of the year? Or take a break?" Seeing that the two of them had finished chatting about this topic, Yu Feihong talked about serious business with Xia Yu.

"Sister Yu, you can make arrangements for my family, Yuan Wei. I signed up for a snowboarding competition next year, and plan to practice in the second half of the year." Xia Yu replied.

"Regular game?" Zhang Jin, who hadn't been able to get in, finally found a chance to speak.

"Well, world-class, but I'm an amateur group." Xia Yu replied.

"Okay, then I'll talk to Yuan Wei another day. Doesn't she like to act in dramas, and there are a few good dramas." Yu Feihong said.

"Thank you, sister Yu." Xia Yu thanked.

Yuan Wei can be regarded as the peak of his debut. In 1998, he starred in the first movie "Spring Rhapsody" and won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress. In the next five years, his career entered a period of rising. Both movies and TV dramas blossomed. With the movie "Blue Love" ", "Beautiful Feet" have become the main stars of various film awards.

If the script of acting career continues like this, it will be a matter of time before she becomes the "Best Actress" in both film and television.

However, she thought that she had already gained some honors and recognition in film and television, and her development was relatively less difficult and necessary, so she wanted to switch to her favorite drama.

As Yuan Huang's boyfriend, Xia Yu naturally supported him with both hands and feet. After all, Yuan Huang also supported him in extreme sports.

The hot pot was almost finished, and Lu Bu asked Zhang Jin, "Brother, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is wrapping up here, do you have any dramas to continue?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou will start filming the sequel "Legend of the Mirror" in the middle of this month." Zhang Jin signed the contract a long time ago, and then asked: "By the way, why didn't you go on? Play Tong Zhan?"

"This..." Lu Bu quickly made up a reason, and said: "There is no schedule, and there are several films to be filmed with Xu Krypton and Yang Huangying, "Feng Yun 2", "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and yours, all pushed."

The schedule is only one of the reasons, mainly because the script is not as exciting as the previous work.

"..." Zhang Jin.

"..." Xia Yu.

He is showing off naked!

"After you finish filming "Legend of the Mirror", leave the schedule to me." Lu Bu's plan is that at least one of "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Dragon Inn" and "Di Renjie" will cooperate with Zhang Jin to design the action.

"No problem." Zhang Jin liked filming with him very much because it was very relaxing.

After eating, the group is ready to go back.

As soon as he left the gate, a group of people came in front of him.

The leader is the bearded Zhang Jizhong.

"Director Zhang, is this a dinner party?" Lu Bu asked with a smile on his face. He had heard that the Condor Crew had returned from Yandang Mountain to Hengdian to continue filming at the end of April, but they had never met each other, and he didn't have time to drop by. .

"Are you ready to eat?" Zhang Jizhong loved and hated him.

Love, is to appreciate his acting skills, kung fu.

I hate it, it's fine if he doesn't come to play Yang Guo, and he abducted Liu Yifei, the No. 1 choice of Little Dragon Girl.

"Well, I just finished eating." Lu Bu looked behind Zhang Jizhong. These are the leading roles of the sculptures. The first thing he saw was an acquaintance, and he said immediately, "Zihan."

Chen Zihan stepped forward and said with a smile, "I thought you didn't know me anymore."

"How could it be?" Lu Bu has no prosopagnosia, and her memory is quite good. Besides, she is both a beauty and a fellow countryman. She also acted in an emotional scene in "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", how can I forget, said: "I didn't have time Say hello to you."

Then, Zhang Jizhong introduced them one by one: "Huang Xiaoming, Yang Mi, Wang Luoyong, Kong Lin, Meng Guangmei."

These people are Yang Guo, Little Dragon Girl, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Li Mochou.

Lu Bu also introduced Yu Feihong, Zhang Jin and Xia Yu.

The two sides simply greeted each other.

To Lu Bu's surprise, Yang Mi did not choose Zhao Ling'er, but Xiaolongnv.

She is only one year older than Liu Yifei, so she must be in line with her age.

As for the appearance, she looks pure and pure without heavy makeup. She looks like the girl next door, but with a little baby fat on her face. As for whether the audience will accept her as Xiaolongnv, we will only know after the broadcast.

In fact, the casting of Shendiao was finally determined after going through some twists and turns.

At that time, Lu Bu and Liu Yifei both rejected the sculpture and went to play the fairy sword. Zhang Jizhong had no choice but to hold an open casting.

Among them, the competition for Little Dragon Girl is extremely fierce, Zhang Bozhi, Jiang Qinqin, Jun Zhixian, Zhou Xun, Yang Mi, etc. are all popular candidates.

After a month-long screening, Zhou Xun defeated many Huadans and began to surface. He even admitted in an interview that he got the role, but the two parties have not signed the final contract yet.

Unexpectedly, she was notified that she had been replaced when she was about to start up.

In fact, Zhang Jizhong is very optimistic about Zhou Xun, and the previous cooperation in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was also very pleasant, but because the investor thought Zhou Xun was too old and liked the innocent girl Yang Mi, he was forced to compromise due to capital pressure.

But he thought he was being tricked, and since then Zhou Xun and Zhang Jizhong have become strangers.

In fact, not only her, but also many actors were also given a thumbs up by Zhang Jizhong. Jiang Qinqin had the highest number of votes for Little Dragon Girl on the Internet; Chuan specially went for jaw bone reduction surgery... Wait, it was all empty joy in the end.

After chatting for a few words, only Lu Bu and Zhang Jizhong were left.

Zhang Jizhong pulled Lu Bu and said, "The sculpture of the gods has become a thing of the past, so I won't talk about it. You have to give me a schedule in the future. You can choose from "The Sword of Jade Blood", "The Story of the Deer and the Cauldron", "The Legend of Yitian Slaying the Dragon" and "The Journey of the Knight."

This... Lu Bu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "Director Zhang, are you on par with Jin Yong?"

Zhang Jizhong was not angry either, he laughed and said, "You can make money, why don't you shoot?"

Lu Bu said without the slightest hesitation: "That is, I have reached a bottleneck in Gu Long drama and Jin Yong drama, and I can't surpass Shen Lang and Qiao Feng."

Zhang Jizhong heard that he was refusing, and said again: "It's okay, "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions" are also under my consideration, but it will be later."

Seeing an opportunity, Lu Bu immediately said, "Okay, when the script comes out, let's have a good chat."

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Jizhong sent out an invitation: "Would you like to have a drink with me?"

Lu Bu smiled lightly: "Thank you Director Zhang, you know I don't drink alcohol, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, we'll meet again some other day."

It happened, because of the world's sophistication, and being the owner of the shop, I had to buy this order.

Zhang Jizhong was not polite.

Back at the place where the crew was stationed, Liu Yifei, Tong Yaya and the others were still chasing "The Criminal of the Great Song Dynasty" in his room.

And there is one more person, Tang Jili.

"Director Tang, why are you here?" In the past half a month, this is already the third call to look for Lu Bu.

"I have something to discuss with you." Tang Jili went to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.

"Have you had dinner?" Lu Bu asked.

"Eat." Tang Jili was very hungry when he arrived in Hangzhou, so he ate first, so he came to Hengdian late.

"Let's go outside to talk." Lu Bu led him to sit on a bench outside.

"You also know that "Mythology" focuses on the entire Asian market, among which China, Japan and South Korea are the most important. Our publicity will be put on when it is about to be released, and the Japanese side will be in charge of me, my brother, and Leslie. The two of them have A certain fan base, as for South Korea, I contacted a popular variety show recently, I hope you and Kim Hee-sun will record it to accumulate some popularity." Tang Jili didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic.

"Okay, what variety show?" This is Lu Bu's first movie with a leading actor, and he borrowed 1000 million from Yang Huangying before returning it, so he must cooperate with the promotion both emotionally and rationally, and spare no effort.

Nowadays, in addition to the popular TV series and movies on TV, the major variety shows are not far behind.

Especially in recent years, all kinds of variety shows have sprung up like mushrooms, and there are many variety shows popping up without knowing when.

The variety show fight is the meaning of it, and more importantly, in terms of talent selection, in order to increase the ratings, the program team will use all means, it can be said to try every means, and spare no expense to invite all the popular stars and big names.

But many celebrities are very resistant to variety shows. They think that although the exposure of variety shows is good and can make people become popular overnight, but at the same time it is still a shining mirror. In front of it, marketing does not work, personality design does not work, and qualifications do not work. If you don't pay attention, you will ruin the image that you have worked hard for for many years, and your reputation will be smashed.

As for Lu Bu, he neither takes the initiative nor refuses variety shows.

If you have it, go there, if you don't have it, you don't force it.

This "ruin" does not mean that participating in variety shows will reduce the actors' acting skills and singers' singing skills, but that they will be infected with the so-called "variety show sense". A good actor and singer should try to avoid overexposure in front of the audience. Guaranteed not to create stereotypes in the minds of the audience, such as pretending to be ugly and funny in variety shows.

So this matter still depends on a degree.

He, for his part, thinks he can control it.

"'We Got Married'." Tang Jili replied.

"Ah?" Lu Bu thought he heard it wrong.

"The name of the variety show is 'We Got Married'. It is a reality show program produced by South Korea's MBC TV station. Being less popular as a member of Hallyu idol groups makes this show more popular and famous in China, Japan, Malaysia and many other countries." Tang Jili introduced.

"It means that Jin Xishan and I play this so-called 'imaginary couple'." Lu Bu probably understood.

"Well, you are the special guests of the second season. There are only 12 episodes, and the filming can be completed in half a month to a month." Tang Jili added.

"When are you going to shoot?" Lu Bu asked.

"The 15th of this month." Tang Jili replied.

"The time is just right. I'll probably finish it tomorrow, and then I just need to go to an appointment and I'll be fine." Lu Bu nodded.

"Okay, I'll contact the program team tomorrow." Tang Jili heaved a sigh of relief, worried that he would not want to go before coming.
