Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 31 Actor's Career and Spring Festival Gala (Two in One) BJBJ
"Goodbye, see you next year."

"Bye~" ×2
After the filming of the jelly water commercial was completed, Lu Jiang bid farewell to Fan Binbin and Chen Hao.

It was already evening and there was no time for dinner. Fan Binbin's father had already arrived in Beijing, and they would fly back together in the evening. This father really didn't mind the trouble.

Knowing that Fan Binbin was flying back to Qingdao that night, Chen Hao realized that they were from the same hometown, and then they compared their plane tickets.

Coincidentally, a flight.

So now we are friends.

This made Lu Jiang look at them both with a subtle look.

As I recall, these two seemed to have had a fight later on.

Now it seems that this melon is about to be lost.
Looking back, after seeing the two girls off, Lu Jiang continued with his commercial performances.

As the end of the year approaches, there are many activities such as annual meetings of various units and promotions in shopping malls, and people are generous with the money given. No one wants to have any unpleasantness at this critical juncture.

As a popular singer, Lu Jiang must be well-known.

It's a good idea to earn a little more.

It doesn't take much effort anyway.

At most, it's just a long journey.

But it’s actually not that bad. If it’s closer, you can take a car. If it’s farther, you can take a plane. Just choose whichever is more convenient.

It's easy if you plan your trip properly.

It’s so cool to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a trip.

This also depends on Li Chao's organizational and coordination skills.

For this, Lu Jiang gave him a big red envelope.

The chosen professional managers must be rewarded well.

In addition to commercial performances, there are actually many film and television invitations coming to me, and they come through multiple channels.

There are those from Li Chao and Warner UFO, but the majority are from the Central Academy of Drama.

As a student of the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama, Lu Jiang has acting skills.

Plus, he is popular now, looks good, and his performance in the MV is also up to par.

Therefore, many film crews now also pass on their information through the Central Academy of Drama. The pay is good and the work is easy.

Lu Jiang had actually already contacted the Central Academy of Drama a long time ago, saying that he had no plans to become an actor for the time being, but he still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the crew.

As for the fact that Lu Jiang doesn't act, Li Chao actually has doubts: "Isn't it normal for a good singer to act?"

"It's better not to play the second or third role!"

Lu Jiang is very tough.

Indeed, the role invitations sent to us now, except for some small crews in the mainland, are all supporting roles in other well-known projects.

The protagonists are all from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

If you want a movie like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", then Lu Jiang will accept it.

But there is not a single well-known future project.

An unknown project, still ranked second or third.

What’s the point of acting then!
And if he really wanted to be a famous actor, he should have played Zhu Bajie in "Spring Pigs".

Of course, poor acting skills are also a factor.

After all, this is not the era of traffic. If you don’t have acting skills or are not suitable for the role, you will really be ridiculed by the public.

For example, the Richie Ren version of The Return of the Condor Heroes aired at the end of last year.
So it’s not that Lu Jiang doesn’t want to act, he just has to wait for a time when he needs to take action.

As for when to take action.

Lu Jiang thought that it might be after the golden finger was upgraded.

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

After working non-stop for more than two months, Lu Jiang finally finished his last announcement of the year.

That night, Lu Jiang, Li Chao and other members of their team gathered together, had a good meal, and gave everyone big red envelopes before returning home.

The first thing I do when I get home is to use the calculator to calculate the harvest.

After some calculations, I found that the total amount was not bad. I currently have 413 million in cash.

This is the 300 million endorsement fee plus the income from commercial performances in the past two months, after tax and the share with Warner.

Adding the 200 million from "Spring Pig" and real estate, his current assets are close to 700 million.

In March, Warner UFO will settle the album dividends and copyright income dividends from the three-month sales of "Lu Jiang", which is expected to be more than 3 million before tax.

So that’s how it’s calculated.

By March, the gold finger will be able to be upgraded!

Think about it, he has earned a net worth of 10 million in less than a year after traveling through time.

This feeling is really comfortable!
But it is indeed tiring.

Working around the clock, so busy that I have no time to rest.

You should take a good rest during the New Year holiday.
He slept until dawn.

Lu Jiang was awakened by Lao Lu.

"Come on, son, it's time for breakfast."

“Where are we going to eat this year?”

"Anything light will do."

"Then it's still the Beijing Hotel."

"I'll listen to you. Get up quickly. I'm starving."

Lao Lu whistled and went downstairs to wait.

Lu Jiang got up, washed up, put on a mask and went downstairs.

New Year’s Eve at Lao Lu’s family is different from that at other families.

The Lao Lu family has been a single-line family for three generations, and the original owner's grandparents and mother passed away early.

So for the past few years, Lao Lu's family has spent this day alone with his son.

Lao Lu can't cook and is quite picky about food, especially during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, when he is willing to spend money. Therefore, in previous years, the father and son would have three meals a day at the Beijing Hotel.

Then I went shopping around, to put it bluntly, I spent all kinds of money, anyway I had plenty of money.

Until the evening, if you have a ticket, you will go to watch the Spring Festival Gala in person, have fun, and then go home to sleep. If you don’t have a ticket, you will watch it at home and have fun the next day. Starting from the second day of the New Year, you will set out to visit relatives on your mother’s side.

It's much the same today.

Buffet breakfast at Beijing Hotel in the morning and buffet lunch at noon.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, all the delicious food that Lao Lu had ordered was served on the table.

Although Lu Jianguo was a spendthrift, he had managed to hold on to the last of his family fortune in recent years.

So Lu Jiang has never missed a New Year’s Eve dinner since he was a child.

This year is even more abundant.

King crabs, which are rare in mainland China, cost more than 3,000 yuan, and the order had to be placed three months in advance.

Lu Jiang felt that Lao Lu had been ripped off, but Lao Lu attached a moral to the crab: "I wish my son will continue to dominate the music world next year and become the king of the music world!"

The Emperor of Gotham?

Lu Jiang listened blankly, then raised his glass with a smile. The 55 Moutai moistened his throat, and he didn't feel sorry at all.

Next was the soft-boiled abalone. Lao Lu said that they were eating two abalones this year because there were only two people in the family, and he hoped to eat three, four, or even five or six abalones in the future!

Lu Jiang laughed: "Why is it getting cheaper the more you eat?"

"It's about the moral, don't ruin it!"

"What does it mean? Urging me to get married? It's too early for you to urge me to get married. I'm only 22 after the New Year."

"Just in time, I've reached the legal age. Come on!"

"Let's talk about the dishes," Lu Jiang quickly pointed to the next one, but Lao Lu picked up the caviar. Lu Jiang quickly replied, "This is not enough for anyone. If the foreigners next door see us, they will think we can't afford it. One can per person!" Lao Lu laughed and really asked people for a few more cans.

Lu Jiang hurriedly stopped him. He really couldn't get used to eating this kind of thing.

Next is the wild yellow croaker from Niannianyouyu, which weighs two kilograms and has a great taste.

Snow frog from Northeast China, recommended by the restaurant, come and try it.

Lao Lu’s favorite, Four Happiness Meatballs, the name, shape and taste are all very festive.

Lu Jiang's favorite, Dongpo pork, is simple and unpretentious, just enough for one bite.
A luxurious New Year’s Eve dinner costing 28,000 yuan, with cuisines from all over the world and all kinds of ingredients from heaven and earth.

It brings an end to the vigorous Year of the Tiger and fills the upcoming Year of the Rabbit with blessings.

They ate until almost seven o'clock and then went home.

This year, Lao Lu originally planned to get two tickets to watch the Spring Festival Gala live. His reason was very strong. He said that he wanted Lu Jiang to experience the Spring Festival Gala live again because he would have to go on stage next year.

Later, after learning that Richie Jen would be performing on the Spring Festival Gala this year, Lao Lu immediately gave up the idea.

The reason was that they were afraid of dampening Lu Jiang's fighting spirit.

Lu Jiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He doesn't mind that.

But it’s also nice not to go there.

As far as I can remember, the original owner didn’t have a very good impression of the Spring Festival Gala.

It was noisy and chaotic, completely different from what you see on TV.

However, the original owner's dream of becoming a director was actually influenced by the Spring Festival Gala.

He felt that the on-site director was really impressive.

No matter what level of celebrity you are, you have to listen to him when you get there.

Unfortunately, the original owner didn’t understand that this was not personal ability, but the blessing of the platform.

When I got home, I took a shower first. The newly bought water heater made Lao Lu feel very comfortable.

But there is still a regret that the original old bathhouse is being renovated and cannot be used for bathing this year.

After taking a shower, the two of them snuggled on the sofa, eating fruits and waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.

As soon as the clock struck 8, Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping, Zhou Tao and Zhu Jun appeared on stage.

This year's Spring Festival Gala was very memorable.

"Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road" and "Go Home Often to Visit" will become household names starting tonight.

Richie Ren's "Look at the Girl Across the Street" pushed the sales of "Love is Like the Pacific" to a new high after the Spring Festival, and Lu Jiang felt some pressure.

Zhao Lirong, who starred in "The Veteran Comes to the Rescue", had her last Spring Festival Gala performance.

"Nod your head for yes, shake your head for no, come when you come and go when you leave. Say hello, hello hello hahaha!"

Behind the joy that teachers Zhao Lirong and Gong Hanlin brought to the people of the whole country lies a tragic story.

Not many people knew at the time that Zhao Lirong had been diagnosed with lung cancer.
The film "Put Yourself in Others' Shoes" co-produced by Fan Wei and Gao Xiumei has fewer memorable moments. It satirizes unscrupulous vendors, but the only sentence that is remembered in the end is "It's been many years since I had cerebral thrombosis, and one arm is longer than the other."

Fan Wei is not Chef Fan yet. He has thick hair on his head, which is combed stylishly and looks quite handsome.

When Old Zhao from Northeast China appeared, Lu Jiang finally sat up straight.

This year, Lao Zhao and the team of Song Dandan and Cui Yongyuan once again contributed the classic program "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow".

"I am Baiyun~I am Heitu; I am seventy-one~I am seventy-five; I am a rooster~I am a tiger; this is my husband~this is my mother"

"The spring breeze of reform is blowing everywhere, and the Chinese people are really striving for success; working together to cross the century, a flood is no big deal!"

"The spring breeze of reform is blowing in, and the Chinese people are in high spirits; the situation in the Gulf is quite disturbing, with the US and UK colluding to bully people!"

"Lao Zhao: Let's meet on May 1958th (); Song Dandan: Probably in winter."

"."

This skit created so many golden lines and so many timeless memes.

Lao Lu laughed so hard that he fell over, saying that this was the best skit of the year.

Lu Jiang had seen it countless times, but he still laughed along.

This is the charm of classic masterpieces.

It seems that because of this skit, Lao Zhao has become a ratings killer for the Spring Festival Gala.

However, compared to language programs, Lu Jiang has actually been paying attention to song programs.

Before, Lu Jiang was wondering whether he could sing a solo song on the Spring Festival Gala next year.

But after carefully studying the list of this year's Spring Festival Gala, he finally understood the importance of solo performances in the Spring Festival Gala these days.

Excluding the song medley and the final "Unforgettable Tonight", there are only three real solo performances this year!

They are Li Qiong's "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road", Richie Jen's "Look at the Girl Across the Street" and Anita Mui's "Moonlight Before My Bed".

In the more than four-hour program, only three programs were solo performances.

This difficulty.
Lu Jiang feels that if he wants to get a solo album, he must work harder and collect more treasure chests to feel confident.
After the Spring Festival, Lu Jiang began to visit relatives, mainly his mother's side.

The original owner's mother's home was in Zhuozhou, Hebei, sixty or seventy kilometers away from Lao Lu's home.

After my mother passed away, I didn't actually move around much anymore.

The main reason is that they have a lot of opinions about the old road, and the reason is self-evident.

However, after Lu Jiang became famous this year with "Fairy Tale", relatives started to visit him more frequently.

Lao Lu had dozens of albums earlier, and most of them were sent there.

They said it was a test of human nature, but in the end they found that most people actually really care about Lu Jiang's development and are not that shady.

So this year, Lu Jiang became completely famous, and Lao Lu was able to be completely proud of himself, or to let go of his burdens completely, and could accept blessings with Lu Jiang openly.

When we arrived, my uncle, two aunts and their whole family had already gathered at my grandfather's house.

Grandpa is nearly 80 years old, but he is in good spirits. When he saw Lu Jiang, he gave him a red envelope as usual.

Although Lu Jiang is a time traveler, since he has accepted everything about this body, he will naturally not be stingy and will definitely do what he should do.

So all kinds of home appliances, gifts, red envelopes, etc. were given to make the elders very happy.

Everyone's economic conditions are average, and most of them are farmers. They are not like the original owner's grandfather who is a capable man.

Now that there is a celebrity among the relatives, and he doesn't look down on them, but instead gives them so many good things, the whole atmosphere has become more harmonious.

After getting to know each other so well, the younger cousins ​​even brought over their sworn enemies from the same village, pointing at Lu Jiang and saying proudly:
"Look, I told you my cousin is Lu Jiang, do you believe me now?"

The little girl from the same village looked at Lu Jiang, then at the poster of Lu Jiang in her room. She was surprised at first, then shy, and finally ran away with a red face.

Then not long after, he came back with a group of children.

Unfortunately, the news of Lu Jiang coming to the village had already spread, and now he has become a "mascot", and children can't squeeze in at all.

Lao Lu was very satisfied with this, and was very Versailles.

"Hey, I didn't know he would become famous, so I just gave it a try."

"For children, interest is the most important thing. If he wants to learn, I will support him."

"The room is full of fan mail, and I can't even read it all."

"."

He is usually very quiet, but now he is chattering non-stop. How long has he been holding it in?

In fact, most of the people in the village knew Lu Jiang. After all, it was not like Lu Jiang had never been here before.

Everyone not only knows Lu Jiang, but is also familiar with the prodigal son Lao Lu.

But the old way is to re-establish one's image.

He described himself as farsighted, open-minded and righteous.
Alas, I didn’t see it.

After visiting relatives, it was the fourth day of the first lunar month.

With the arrival of new announcements, Lu Jiang starts the new year.

This year will definitely be a year of great success for the “rabbit”!
I also wish all readers to be as smart and agile as a snake in the new year, to have a prosperous career, to have lots of money, and to live a happy life!
