This star is going to the moon

Chapter 11 You call this a "newbie in the entertainment industry"?
June 29th, it has been ten days since Lu Yun was reborn.

After washing up in the morning and having a normal-tasting healthy breakfast, I drank the iced American coffee prepared by Yan Xinxin, which was just right for eliminating edema.

If Liu Chun loses, he has to obey his orders; if Yan Xinxin loses, she has to buy coffee for a week.

Glancing at Lu Yun, who was sipping coffee with a smug look on his face, Liu Chun took out three scripts and said, "I've received quite a few scripts and audition invitations these past few days. I've turned down those with poor plots, time conflicts, and only wanting you to play supporting roles..."

Hearing Liu Chun say this, Lu Yun took a sip of coffee and thought for a while. There shouldn't be any particularly noteworthy castings for popular TV series and movies in the second half of this year, so the script that Liu Chun turned down must really not be that good.

"...These three are movies that are currently in the early stages of preparation and will begin filming at the end of this year or early next year. They all have some connection to you."

"Although the pay for movies is low, it can raise your status. Once your status is raised, everything else will be easy."

Liu Chun held up the first script and said, "The first movie is 'Europe Raiders'. I'll be playing the second male lead. Originally, Wu Fan was signed for this role, but his reputation isn't very good right now, so the crew is considering a replacement."

"This movie has a high chance of becoming a billion-yuan hit, as the male lead is actor Tony Leung Wai-chiu, and Director Ma is also very famous, and a renowned photographer, so there's a lot of competition for the second male lead."

"The second movie is 'Secret Fruit,' which claims to be a spin-off of 'The Left Ear.'"

Liu Chun nodded at the script and continued, "This movie wants you to audition for the leading male role. I guess they want to create some buzz during the promotion, like your classmate Chen Lingdu who played the female lead in 'Left Ear'."

"Don't worry about the other competitors for the male lead. Just focus on one: Chen Yuse, the son of the famous director Chen Gekai..."

"The third one is 'Twenty Years Old'. It's directed by the same director as the TV series 'The Best of Us'. You two worked very well together last time. He even praised you for your talent, so he recommended you to the crew to play the male lead."

Liu Chun picked up the script, shook it, and said, "I like this script the most!"

"It bought the rights to the hit youth comedy film 'Twenty' from Hanchu Country, and the director is an expert in youth-themed films. The combination of the two is absolutely fantastic!"

"Now that you have connections with the director and a successful track record of starring in youth-themed films, this male lead is definitely..."

As Liu Chun called out names and related information one by one, Lu Yun gradually remembered some things.

"Europe Raiders" said that they were considering changing the cast, but the version that was finally released was still signed by Wu Fan.

It can be seen that this "consideration" of changing the role was not successful.

Even this so-called "consideration" is hype. There is no intention to change the actors at all, it is just to increase the popularity of the movie.

Moreover, "Europe Raiders" is also a famous flop. Not only did it flop at the box office, but it also flopped in terms of reputation.

Even if the role is really changed, Lu Yun would not consider it.

It’s better for Wu Fan to sign such a good movie and keep it for himself. The two of them seem to have similar tastes.

As for the second movie, I don't have much impression of it. I guess it was a failure.

The father and son, Chen Gekai and Chen Yuse, are a bit interesting. The father has spent his entire life proving that "Farewell My Concubine" was not filmed by him, while the son has so many resources but still can't become popular.

As a result, the father-son collaboration "Arthur Please Take a Seat" became a hit.

As for "Twenty Years Old"...

Lu Yun has such a deep memory of it, this is what he played in his previous life!
"Twenty Years Old" was such a flop that even my mother couldn't recognize it. Its box office was the lowest among the series of bad movies shot by Lu Yun, at only 300 million.

By the way, he gave Lu Yun a hat called "box office poison".

After being reborn and seeing the news about this movie again, Lu Yun suddenly felt a little... tired.

At this time, Liu Chun was still asking Lu Yun.

"So, you want to choose the script yourself, right? Which one do you want to audition for first?"

"Which one?"

Lu Yun curled his lips: "I don't want to try any of them!"

Liu Chun frowned when he heard this: "Hey, I'm talking to you..."

But before he could finish, Lu Yun raised his hand to interrupt, "Don't talk about 'you' for now. Yesterday, the screening schedule for 'Legend of the Gods' plummeted to 2%, which is almost the same as if it's been pulled from theaters. What about the final box office?" Liu Chun's momentum faltered after his spell was interrupted. He then scratched his head and said angrily, "Who would have thought that a blockbuster movie would be pulled from theaters after only seven days? A fucking 2.7 million!"

Liu Chun is now increasingly suspicious that Lu Yun has some technology, otherwise where would he get the information? This kind of top-secret internal information that was suddenly taken off the screen is not something that ordinary people can know.

As for whether it is a blind guess?

Haha, it would be better to believe that Lu Yun has super powers and can predict the future!
"Okay, okay, stop destroying your hair. They are precious."

Lu Yun held Liu Chun's hand and comforted him, "Even though you lost, I won't act in these films, but if you share these resources, others will remember you well."

"It also saves some people from secretly criticizing us for monopolizing resources."

Liu Chun was stunned when he heard this: "Who told you this? Was it Yan Xinxin? She loves to listen to and spread gossip the most!"

Yan Xinxin: “?”

"Hey, Brother Liu, no, I didn't..."

Liu Chun ignored Yan Xinxin and continued to comfort Lu Yun: "Don't worry about these things, and don't let them affect your mood. You just entered the entertainment industry and don't understand the twists and turns here..."

Yan Xinxin curled her lips.

When she first joined the company, Liu Chun asked her to be the assistant of Lu Yun, a "newbie in the entertainment industry", because he wanted to use her rich experience to guide Lu Yun. However, she got the hang of it after a few days of getting along.

You call this a "newbie in the entertainment industry"?
Lu Yun’s knowledge of entertainment gossip is definitely not as good as hers, but he is quite familiar with the conventional rules of the entertainment industry, and his professional skills as an actor are far higher than hers.

One time when she was delivering materials, she observed Teacher Wang’s acting class and found that Lu Yun was not at a disadvantage when acting opposite Teacher Wang!
She specifically looked up Teacher Wang's information. Although Teacher Wang was not a great actor and had only won the Best Supporting Actor Award, he had solid theoretical knowledge and experience, and his teaching ability was not weak either. Therefore, he had taught many good students and even produced an actor who could be considered a movie star.

If other young and popular actors can achieve the same level as Lu Yun... no, even if they can only achieve half of it, they have to buy trending searches, such as "XX's acting skills are explosive", "XX and veteran actors perform crazily", etc.

But Lu Yun just studied as usual and was content to be a "primary school student in the entertainment industry."

In fact, after Lu Yun won the audition for "Wolf Warrior 2", Yan Xinxin was in a state of "hiding her achievements and fame". She thought that what she did played a big role.

Only after that did she feel that her help might be helpful, but it was unlikely to be effective.

The main reason is probably that Lu Yun is strong enough.

However, what her assistant saw through was not seen through by her agent Liu Chun.

He had noticed something was wrong, but Lu Yun also had his own explanation.

“People always make progress!”

Lu Yun gestured as if he had lost the market in the country of Han Xie and said, "I just made a little progress faster."

"Besides, with a professional agent like you, an excellent assistant like Xinxin, and a great acting coach like Teacher Wang, it's reasonable for me to improve faster."

It is understandable that his acting skills and basic entertainment industry skills have improved rapidly, but the entertainment industry is not short of "envy, jealousy and hatred". It is understandable that Liu Chun is afraid that Lu Yun, a newbie who has just entered the society, will be hurt by these things.

After Liu Chun gave Lu Yun his instructions, he asked, "Are you so sure I can convince the boss? What if he disagrees?"

Lu Yun gave a thumbs up when he heard this: "Impossible, Brother Liu, you are our company's number one agent, the ace among aces, and the boss has to listen to your opinions. I believe you can handle it!"

Liu Chun always felt that Lu Yun had something else to say, but since he lost the bet, he could only go and talk to the company boss.

When he knocked on the door and heard "Come in", he pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment Liu Chun entered the room, his expression changed and he smiled and said, "Hey, brother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Qian Darong, the boss of Qimingxing Company, looked up and said, "Xiaopang, I've told you so many times, you have to call me boss in the company."

After hearing this, Liu Chun's smile immediately turned into a pout: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? I have successfully lost weight for a long time, and you still call me a nickname..."
