Chapter 355 [New Play]

Spring Festival in February,

Lu Zhengyi’s home was busier than ever before.
The first batch of employees of the Mei Civet Cat crew, as well as those who were often seen behind the scenes, all came to his home, gathering together as if they had been before.

"You don't know how critical the situation was at that time!"

"That big octopus is so big, I can't even see it completely. Standing on the deck and looking at it, I can only see half of its face."

"Hey, good guy, this big octopus didn't even look at what's on top of our boat before getting on board? Director Lu!"

Over there in the living room, Zhang Yuming vividly told what happened on the cruise ship.

Xiaowei, Wei Kang and others were sitting around, their faces full of regret. If they had not gone back earlier, but waited there and came back by boat with Director Lu, maybe they would have been able to Encountered this strange thing!
They filled up several sofas, and some of them just sat on the ground, which was not too cold since there was floor heating anyway.

In the corner, A Yong and Big Black Snake lay lazily, looking up at Zhang Yuming who was using all kinds of exaggerated rhetoric from time to time, shaking their heads.

"Hey, Xiaole."

Can this pregnant woman eat grapes?

Lu Zhengyi was still chatting on the phone with Tour Guide Wang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. When his finger touched her lips, he remembered something and paused.

In the kitchen, Jin Shanmei, Zhang Xueming, Yu Li, and Yu Wenxiu were cutting fruit.

Over in the dining hall, Lu Zhengyi was sitting on a chair next to the big round table. He was answering phone calls one after another, including from Liang Le, Li Chuanxin, and some people he met during the filming. This did not stop at all.

Zhang Xueming took advantage of the opportunity and grabbed a handful of large seedless grapes, came to Lu Zhengyi, picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Yes, the hard work of college is different from the hard work of high school. But at this stage, you have to start working on internships. At least in school, you can accumulate more project experience... "

Then, Lu Zhengyi handed it to her mouth again.

Apparently, it's edible.

……

He looked up helplessly and saw his wife smiling naughtily next to him.

"It's okay, you are busy with your business. I have been waiting for your movie for a long time."

Lu Zhengyi let her feed him at first, but he didn't even have time to chew the grapes one after another, which made his mouth bulge.

"When we were traveling together in the Southern Dynasty, Xiao Ming and I saw them walking on the road. Hey, if it weren't for their pregnant bellies, they looked like lovers from a distance. How could they be an old couple who had been married for several years? ah."

Zhang Xue Ming finished the grapes and didn't move away, just stood there waiting for the next one.

"Wandering God? OK, OK, if you have time, I will definitely go..."

"I can't be the only one insisting on horror movies in this country, right?"

"Hey, Tour Guide Wang, it's been a while since we last met."

Seeing that she was holding another grape in her hand and preparing to stuff it into her hand, he grabbed her hand and directly pulled away the remaining three grapes.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely visit you when I have time."

"As a result, she has become a sweet wife now. Tsk, it has to be our Director Lu."

"...It's weirdly sweet."

One after another, she kept feeding grapes into his mouth while laughing next to him.

I don’t know if she is sweetening the grapes or something else.

……

"you are……"

"I still remember the first time I met her. She was a domineering female CEO. She was so sassy and beautiful. I couldn't think of anyone who could match her."

Before he could chew, there was another one.

"Tsk..."

In the kitchen, Jin Shanmei secretly took a look through the glass door and said, "This one looks different from the one I first met."

Yu Wenxiu also watched and couldn't help but eat a grape and muttered in his mouth.

Regarding this knowledge, she is much better than herself, who only knows Baidu.

"That's not to say that Director Lu can take care of people."

But before he could finish thinking about it, Zhang Xueming had already opened his lips and swallowed it in one bite.

"Oh, village chief, remember, we even went to your place to shoot a movie!"

"Hey, Director Li, Happy New Year. Happy New Year."

Yu Li counted from the side, "He is very capable at work, handsome, a practitioner, and considerate of others."

"Speaking of being considerate, I don't know if you have noticed that no matter where they go, the two of them will report each other's itinerary. Even if they don't meet, they will call and send messages every day. This annoying energy can't be separated even if they are in different places. open."

The way she was standing there waiting to be fed, let alone herself, she might not even recognize the Zhang Xueming who had traveled through time.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, how are you, is your college life going well?"

"Indeed, the house is quite lively."

"Chew, chew, chew."

It is said that couples become more and more displeased with each other over time.

Lu Zhengyi and his wife are good together, but they get more and more annoying as time goes by.

"Yes, it didn't seem like this when we first got married."

Kim Sun-mei recalled, "It seemed... quite polite at the time. I remember we had discussions at that time, saying that the two of them were an absolutely rational couple, and they might not even quarrel."

Whether it was at the wedding or when they met on the set later, the two of them always treated each other with respect and restrained themselves.

Although it is said that the state is quite stable, everyone's mood is very stable.

But in fact, it doesn't feel like a couple, but more like living together as a partner.

Nowadays, many people are unwilling to invest too much emotion, and they all live in a state of partnering.

"okay."

Yu Wenxiu interrupted the conversation between the two, "Lily, how are you and Xiao Ming? When do you plan to get married?"

The news that Yu Li and Zhang Yuming are together is not a secret.

The big guys didn't react much to the two of them being together. After all, the relationship between the two had been relatively close since they first met.

Yu Li, who was still very interested in discussing other people's emotions, suddenly lost her temper when she heard this.

"This... let's see again."

She replied vaguely, "We are less than thirty, so we are still young."

……

"cheers!"

"Congratulations to Director Lu, the new movie will be a hit!"

"Moreover, I wish Sister Xueming a smooth birth of a fat boy!"

During lunch, a group of them set the table directly in the courtyard, and then one plate after another of big dishes was brought out by the private chef's waiter.

After all, there were so many people, so it was a bit unrealistic for Lu Zhengyi and others to cook by themselves.

With so many mouths open, not to mention cooking, even cleaning up the dishes after eating may take a whole afternoon.

So they directly hired a private chef to come to the house to cook and take away the dishes after finishing the meal.

"Teacher Chang, how are you doing lately? I heard that you are trying to act in a play."

We are all old acquaintances, and there is no such thing as toasting here and making fun of others.

After sitting down, they first toasted together, then sat down to eat and chat, naturally with the people sitting next to them.

With Zhang Xueming on one side and Chang Zhengwei on the other, Lu Zhengyi chatted with him about the current situation. Chang Zhengwei was one of the first employees to follow him.

But in the next few dramas, he had no roles and had less contact.

He often sees people like Yu Wenxiu and Yu Li.

But Chang Zhengwei really hasn't seen each other for a long time. The most we can do is chat through WeChat and occasionally make phone calls. There is no chance to meet offline.

"It's okay now."

Chang Zhengwei nodded, "I was very uncomfortable at first. There is a big difference between live drama and movies."

"I stood on the stage, and a pair of eyes were watching you perform with scrutiny. The pressure was really extraordinary."

"I still made a few mistakes, but gradually I got better and started to be able to focus on nothing else."

Lu Zhengyi took a bite of food and said, "It sounds very difficult."

"But if you can complete the whole scene smoothly under that situation, I think, Teacher Chang, you will definitely be able to perform better when you return to the big screen."

"It will be no problem to get a prize."

When it came to winning the award, Chang Zhengwei smiled unconsciously, "Yes, I hope so too."

He has been looking forward to winning the award for more than ten years.

Before joining Lu Zhengyi's crew, he was still short of money and didn't even have hope.

Now that he has acted in several movies, he has gained fame and money, he has the opportunity to look forward to winning awards, and his hope is getting bigger and bigger.

"By the way, you get married..."

As he said this, Lu Zhengyi started again.

This old Changtou is much older than him. Now he is running for four years. He is not married yet and does not even have a partner.

"Hey, Ayi, now that you have a baby, you are beginning to hope that the people around you will get married soon so that you can have a family in the future, right?"

Xu Feng was sitting behind them at another table.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but turn around and interjected.

"Hey, Teacher Chang, you don't know."

Xu Feng said in a funny tone, "Our Director Lu has a baby, and his seniority has also increased, so he is starting to urge us to get married."

"You were urging me before, saying you have to find a girlfriend quickly."

"Okay now, I'm starting to rush you again."

Chang Zhengwei's eyes widened, "Now that I'm a father, what impact will it have?"

Lu Zhengyi was not shy and replied carelessly, "I don't want you to feel the beauty of this marriage as soon as possible."

As he said that, he put his big hand on the shoulders of Zhang Xueming, who was talking to Yu Wenxiu next to him, "There is someone waiting in this room. I feel warm in my heart when I go out. Not to mention how beautiful it is."

Such straightforward words, and in front of so many people, made Zhang Xueming lower his head in shame.

"Ouch, ouch."

Xu Feng booed.

"It's so sour."

Bai Wei, who was sitting further away, also spoke up, "Director Lu, what you said makes me want to get married. Are you considering giving me a year and a half of marriage leave? Give me a chance to go on a blind date. marry."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

He was so happy during the Chinese New Year, Lu Zhengyi approved it with a wave of his hand.

"I'm joking, I'm joking, don't take it seriously." Bai Wei looked at his agreement and quickly explained, "I am on the rise in my career, but I don't have the time to get married."

However, this joke made the atmosphere at the scene more lively.

Everyone is smiling. They have a stable and comfortable job, and it is a festive day like the Chinese New Year. There is only joy on their faces, not sorrow.

No, there are exceptions.

Sitting on the other side of Zhang Xueming, Yu Wenxiu looked at the bustle of the group of people and the carefree smile on Lu Zhengyi's face, but there was scrutiny in his eyes.

The more lively the scene was, the more indifferent she became sitting next to her.

Because she could feel that Lu Zhengyi didn't actually have that many emotions in his heart.

At this moment, he was following Teacher Chang and Xu Feng, joking, but how much of his true emotions in his heart were consistent with his appearance?

"But according to the past progress of our crew, Director Lu, you should be preparing for your next movie, right?"

But soon, someone asked again.

This is how this group of people chat. If you talk about a topic and I bring up a topic, the atmosphere will be much more lively.

But if you guys sit down, you don’t speak, I don’t speak, and we play with our phones together, it will be relatively silent.

"……Yes."

Lu Zhengyi thought about it for a moment and said without hiding it, "We have already thought about it. We are going to try to break into the Western market this time."

"This time the Grudge IP has been sold, and we have established a connection with a film and television company there. Coupled with the original connections, current popularity, and company background, we can give it a try."

"I'm going to make a... rather special film."

As for the new drama, he has naturally already considered it based on his work intensity.

"Hey, are we about to start?!"

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"The West is no longer like the Republic of China and the Southern Dynasty. That is a big cake!"

Listening to Lu Zhengyi's words, everyone else couldn't help but feel excited.

In the final analysis, entering the War Kingdom and the Southern Dynasty Kingdom is just to send a message to the outside world, that is, the fame of their crew is not 'self-proclaimed'.

It's not like those celebrities and directors who are only famous in China and have tens of millions of fans, but they stop working as soon as they go abroad.

They really have the ability and quality to make a horror movie.

As for the actual income, in fact, the benefits gained from conquering these two markets are not very large.

After all, the market is based on the size of the country. The markets and currencies of the Republic of China and the Southern Dynasties are actually not that large and not that valuable.

"Director Lu, tell us a little bit about it. What is it about?" Bai Wei asked curiously, "Is it related to actual ghosts? Or is it like Fujiang or another dimension?"

Lu Zhengyi's current style of shooting horror thrillers can be considered quite a lot.

No longer so singular.

"Of course it has a certain magical color." Lu Zhengyi thought, "but it is more of a horror and discomfort on a psychological level. How should I put it, it is about time, the time loop."

"And this film may be somewhat similar to the style of our domestic filming, that kind of scary feeling when you think about it carefully."

"The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel."

After all, there were many people present, so he didn't tell everything, only a few.

"But it should take some time."

"You see, I am going to be a father this year, and I will definitely be quite busy then. I still hope to spend more time on my family and take care of my family."

"So starting from this year, our workload may be reduced, and we may only shoot one film a year."

But soon, Lu Zhengyi revealed another thing.

That's the adjustment at work.

Although the others were a little regretful, they didn't say much. They all understood Lu Zhengyi's decision.

They all see how much he values ​​his family.
