Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 24 Let’s go and fight!
The next morning, everyone said goodbye to Tao Hong first. She was going back to Nanjing, but they were going a different way.

After everyone got in a taxi and left, Ning Hao leaned over to Lu Jiang and asked, "Did you succeed last night?"

"It's a normal adult game, please don't make it so obscene."

Lu Jiang did not deny it.

It is indeed an adult game, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

But Ning Hao, who was still quite innocent at the time, was still surprised: "No way, she looks quite innocent."

"Don't be fooled by appearances. She's already 27, she's no longer a little girl."

Lu Jiang actually thought at the beginning that Tao Hong would go for the pure love route, after all, that face was too deceptive.

But after actual contact, you will find that they are much more mature than you imagined. If you really want to make a fuss about it, you may find out who was bullied by whom last night.

But Lu Jiang likes this kind of conversation where he can talk freely and let go, otherwise he would definitely not have stayed up all night last night.

"27 years old?! Isn't she a Class 94? She doesn't look that old."

"You don't look like you're 22, you're at least 30 or older. Just looking at your face, who would have thought you were still a virgin?"

"That's too much, I haven't been that for a long time!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

In the afternoon, everyone returned to the capital. Lu Jiang had a good sleep and continued filming the next day.

The overall progress is rapid.

The crew is growing even faster.

At the beginning of filming, the crew only had 9 people, but after more than half a month, it expanded to 76 people!
Of course, these extra people are not all here to get paid, but to learn.

It’s quite funny to talk about this.

It was Ning Hao who took the initiative and called three roommates in the dormitory to watch.

Later, Gao Xixi brought first-year students from the college's directing department to observe and learn.

As a senior, how could Lu Jiang bear not to answer the questions asked by his junior classmates?
The standard answers given by Golden Finger were very accurate, sometimes making Gao Xixi feel like he had suddenly understood something, so he also started asking questions.

College students cherish this opportunity even more.

Unlike the undergraduate classes, which are the biological offspring of the Central Academy of Drama, the junior college classes are raised by a stepmother. Calling them junior colleges is a nice word, as they are actually adult education colleges.

To put it bluntly, as long as college students pay tuition and don't cause trouble at school, the school has achieved most of its goals.

As for teaching?

The fact that Lu Jiang took MV as homework shows the school’s attitude.

College students have a poor foundation to begin with, and after two years of study, many of them are not even much better than those who have learned through self-taught methods.

Therefore, if you want to make progress, you must seize this opportunity to learn something new.

So, as time went by, Lu Jiang's MV crew became a small training class, and then grew bigger and bigger.

This made Chen Haoren, who came to participate in the filming, dumbfounded.

I wondered if this was a film crew or a training institution?

Chen Hao was invited by Lu Jiang to film "It's a pity there are no ifs".

There is only one reason.

Lu Jiang looked around and found that only the treasure chest above her head was white.

[Chen Hao wants to see the difference between filming an MV and filming a movie]

Very simple requirements.

I was just curious. I didn't want to act in the role, and I didn't think Lu Jiang would notice me.

But that's how wonderful it is.

Looking around, she is the only one who has a treasure chest. Who else can I invite if not her?
So Chen Hao happily got the female lead role.

But after joining the crew, Chen Hao was surprised by everything she saw.

The simple MV crew actually has hundreds of people!

Fortunately, Lu Jiang quickly explained that he was just here to learn.

Chen Hao finally understood and joined the study team. She also helped students from college performance departments and even training classes to communicate and explain performance skills and knowledge, and she enjoyed it.

This made Lu Jiang feel that he had made the right choice by finding her.

The heroine of "It's a pity there are no ifs" is a music teacher.

If you don’t look closely at Chen Hao’s face now, her overall temperament is not much different from her teacher’s. This can be considered an alternative way of getting into the role.

By the way, it seems that Chen Hao became a teacher later on?
Could it be that I am the reason why she became a teacher in this time and space?
Shaking his head, Lu Jiang continued filming.

Time quickly came to early November.

After more than a month of shooting.

All 7 MVs for the new album have been completed, only post-production is left.

Among the 7 MVs, only "Maple" and "It's a pity there is no if" are plot-based, and the rest are all impression-based.

Originally, it was planned that "Let Tears Turn into Love Rain" would also follow a plot-based approach.

But after asking someone to find Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan didn't know why and said she would not accept any notices recently.

Later, Gao Xixi told Lu Jiang that Gao Yuanyuan seemed to be involved in the emotional whirlpool of director Teng Huatao.

Lu Jiang immediately lost interest in looking for her again.

Instead of looking for Gao Yuanyuan, Lu Jiang also tried to find someone else.

But after looking around at the actors, I didn't find any one with a treasure chest.

Without the treasure chest, Lu Jiang also lost a lot of enthusiasm, and finally let Ning Hao and the others perform "Let Tears Turn into Love Rain" on their own. It was a small benefit for them.

In the end, Ning Hao's idea stood out. He took the lead and found a lot of people to shoot many close-up clips of girls crying, with the theme of "Lovesickness".

Ning Hao had a great time, then revealed his true feelings to Lu Jiang, saying that he also wanted to try to be a director in the future.

Lu Jiang encouraged him and made a promise: "You must ask me for investment in your future movies."

"That is required!"

How can you refuse such a good thing?

Ning Hao was overjoyed.

The MV has been filmed, and the next step is post-production work, which is expected to take more than half a month to complete.

However, MV does not affect the filling of the tape.

Warner UFO acted quickly, placing an initial order of 80 copies.

As for the release date of the new album, Lu Jiang originally said that it would be released together with the final assignment submission at the end of December.

Now, considering the time for post-production and publicity and promotion preparation, there is still a month or so left.

Warner UFO decided to set the release date as January 1999st, so that it would be easier to calculate the annual sales volume. The goal was to be among the top five Chinese albums in sales in .

At the same time, you can also avoid many famous singers who release songs in October and November.

But Lu Jiang didn't want to take such shortcuts.

He decided to send it out in early December or even late November, the earlier the better.

First of all, it can compete with those high-quality albums that have just been released.

Only the achievements gained through fighting in a sea of ​​blood are of great value.

Besides, Lu Jiang is a new singer after all. So what if he can’t compete? Isn’t that what should be done?

Of course, he is confident that his new album will blow their asses away and shock the Chinese music scene!
Secondly, he also wanted to make money early.

Now he has less than 20 yuan in his pocket, which makes him feel suffocated.
Zhou Jianhui looked at Lu Jiang's eager expression, thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement.

Warner UFO really needs this kind of sharpness and drive. If it can really break through the siege, it will truly deserve the title of "return of the king."

However, the news did not cause much stir when it was released, mainly because there were too many things competing for attention at this time.

At the end of October, high-quality songs such as Zhang Zhenyue's "Love Me Don't Leave", Zhang Yu's "The Moon's Trouble", Andy Lau's "Stupid Kid", and Kelly Chen's "Notepad" were released one after another.

In addition, Richie Jen’s "Love in the Pacific" at the end of August is still very popular.

For a time, the Chinese music scene began to be a battle of the gods.

Under the influence of various new songs, "Fairy Tale" fell out of the top ten of CCTV music chart for the first time, and even fell to after 15th place.

Some gossipy media outlets said that they had long said that the reason why "Fairy Tale" was successful was because it was released at a good time.

If it were released now, no one would know how it died.

But the reality is that Lu Jiang's prestige is greatly enhanced.

Because of the outstanding MV and the good song, "Fairy Tale" quickly made a comeback.

As of November 11rd, the latest CCTV Music Chart ranking was 3th.

This is the result half a year after the song was released.

The value of "Fairy Tale" has been proven once again.

However, the value is the value, and the popularity is the popularity.

In mainland China in November, no drama was more popular than "Return of the Condor Heroes 11".

"Lu Jiang, did you watch today's episode of My Fair Princess?"

On the evening of the 3rd, Fan Binbin called again.

"Return of the Condor Heroes 1" has been aired for 5 days. Compared with the past 5 days, Fan Binbin is particularly excited today.

You don't have to guess, it must be a reporter interviewing her.

Because it's written on the treasure chest: ["My Fair Princess 1" has hit a new high in viewership, and is beginning to become a phenomenal hit. Fan Binbin's character Jinsuo has become a hit. She gave her first solo interview on the set today. She hopes to share her joy with the host and hear the host's praise and blessings in person.]

Another blue treasure chest.

It’s worthy of being called a treasure chest cow!
In this regard, Lu Jiang certainly satisfied her:

"Your teeth are so yellow, your face is so fat, your eyebrows are so ugly, and I can't even hear what you're saying!"

"Lu Jiang, you're dead!"

"Hahaha"

After the teasing was over, Lu Jiang asked, "Why are you so excited today?"

"let me tell you."

Blah blah blah, Fan Binbin exaggerated the story of his first solo interview.

Lu Jiang cooperated and gave his blessing: "You will be a celebrity from now on, you have to wear a mask when you go out!"

"That's right! From now on, you'll be my assistant. Protect me from the fans and don't let them take advantage of you!"

"Will you give me salary?"

"You still want a salary? Comrade Xiaolu, you're dreaming!"

"Is it okay to include food?"

"Then I have to think about it. You eat too much."

Amidst all the noise and bustle, time quickly arrived at mid-November. Just as the Chinese pop music scene was in full swing, Lu Jiang's new album began to heat up.
