Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 51: Seven Drinks His First Sip of Porridge! The Initial Script for "Racing Speed" is Finalized.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve.

Zhang Ruonan and Lu Yunzhou's mother just came out to shop at the Chinese supermarket.

During the Lunar New Year, Wenzhou people prepare a "New Year's Eve feast," which usually consists of 10 main dishes, symbolizing perfection.

I won't list the specifics.

Lu Yunzhou wasn't particularly fond of eating it either.

Of these 10 dishes, he only likes fish cakes.

Since we're celebrating the Lunar New Year in Milan this year, in addition to these 10 dishes, we also had Italian ham and red wine.

The family closed the door, ate their meal quietly, and then cleaned up the mess thoroughly.

Unlike other places where the Spring Festival is celebrated with great fanfare, loud noise, and toasting, people in Wenzhou eat their New Year's Eve dinner very quietly.

They call this "making a fortune behind closed doors".

Lu Yunzhou didn't know the reason either, but it seemed to be related to a myth or legend.

The local legend is that a deity disguised himself as a beggar and passed by the home of a wealthy local family. Even on New Year's Eve, the family showed no joy, and their table was spotless, with no leftovers.

The beggar disguised as a deity saw this scene and thought the family was too poor to afford their New Year's Eve dinner. Feeling pity for them, he left a few gold ingots at their doorstep.

This family became rich overnight as a result.

Later, when others heard this rumor, they all followed suit.

After all, who wouldn't want a windfall?

Who wouldn't want a few gold ingots from a deity?

But Lu Yunzhou felt that the story was full of darkness.

Perhaps this family went out to rob someone on New Year's Eve, and after returning home, they were restless and had no interest in chatting. Unable to explain their sudden windfall, they made up a story about a god giving away wealth.

Regardless of the truth, the custom has been passed down.

After dinner, Zhang Ruonan took the initiative to go to the kitchen with her mother to help her clear the dishes.

Seeing how sensible Zhang Ruonan was, her mother whispered, "Later, Yunzhou's father and I are going to Monza. We might stay in Monza tonight, spending the night at Yunzhou's uncle's. You're in charge of the house."

"Um.

""

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruonan immediately understood and nodded firmly.

My mother-in-law is so good to me.

Intentionally creating opportunities for oneself.

If this continues, when will I be able to give birth to my son?

As Lu Yunzhou earned more and more money and gained more and more fans online, tens of thousands of people would leave messages on his Weibo every day, wanting to be his girlfriend for a day.

What does "one-day girlfriend" mean?

How can a one-night stand be described in such a romantic and beautiful way?

Zhang Ruonan became increasingly unhappy as she looked at it, and a little anxious in her heart.

She was just an ordinary girl, with no particular talent and not especially pretty.

Although she's considered a cute girl among ordinary people, there are countless people in the vast entertainment industry who have better figures and are prettier than her.

Her only advantage was that Lu Yunzhou's mother particularly liked her.

"Yunzhou, your dad and I are going out for a bit to visit your uncle in Mengza to discuss the OEM factory matter. We might be quite busy these next couple of days."

"I've bought enough ingredients in the fridge. If you don't feel like cooking, you can take Xiaonan out to eat."

After saying that, Mom grabbed Dad and hurriedly left the house.

Only Lu Yunzhou and Zhang Ruonan remained in the house.

Although Zhang Ruonan had been looking forward to this day for a long time, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

She looked at Lu Yunzhou, who was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone, and said, trying to make conversation, "Brother, do you want to watch TV? Are you thirsty? Shall I make you a cup of tea?"

"Need not."

Lu Yunzhou shook his head, looked up, and muttered, "Why do I smell a hint of conspiracy?"

Although this was not Lu Yunzhou's first time in Italy.

But it was Lu Yunzhou's first time spending the Lunar New Year in Italy.

What puzzled him even more was that on New Year's Eve, his parents were going to his uncle's house to discuss the OEM factory.

Is this factory going to be blown up tomorrow?

Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?

"Brother, where is the smell of conspiracy? Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

There was absolutely no conspiracy.

But Lu Yunzhou's mother and she were both aware of this matter without saying a word.

"Brother, let me play a piano piece for you."

Lu Yunzhou stopped playing on his phone and turned to look at her, which made Zhang Ruonan even more shy, her cheeks turning red.

She took out her phone and connected it to the speaker in her home via Bluetooth.

A piano accompaniment to Jay Chou's "Secret" (without lyrics) filled the living room.

"This song————"

"Secret" is a fantasy romance film directed by Jay Chou in 2007.

This theme song evokes a sense of melancholy and loneliness, and a delicate mix of complex emotions associated with adolescence.

This piece does indeed have a touch of Chopin's style.

The story blends classic elements with suspense, creating an atmosphere full of mystery.

This shows that Jay Chou really likes Chopin.

But none of that matters.

Most importantly, this piece of music seemed to remind Lu Yunzhou of himself.

He also has a secret he can't tell.

He is a transmigrator, just like the female protagonist in the movie.

"Brother, I'm going back to my room for a bit."

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou seemed to really like the piece, putting down his phone and listening quietly, Zhang Ruonan took the opportunity to quickly return to her room and put on makeup.

At the same time, she changed her clothes.

This is a New Year's gift she carefully prepared for Lu Yunzhou!

10 minutes later.

Zhang Ruonan, who originally looked like a high school girl, transformed into a flight attendant in a uniform. Although she still looked a bit immature, she finally had a touch of womanhood.

"You—"

Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but raise his head and stare blankly at it for a moment.

The moment Lu Yunzhou was stunned, Zhang Ruonan sensed the signal, took a few steps forward, hooked her arm around Lu Yunzhou's neck, and kissed him on tiptoe.

His kissing skills were a bit clumsy.

Their teeth even hit Lu Yunzhou's lips.

"Brother, if you don't like me in my flight attendant uniform, next time I'll wear a Sailor Moon outfit, okay?"

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou didn't seem interested, Zhang Ruonan thought for a moment and said with great difficulty, "I've heard that every boy likes Ultraman. You don't want me to wear an Ultraman suit, do you? If you like, I'm not against it—"

Ultraman's power is indeed great.

Lu Yunzhou, who had been somewhat dazed, immediately snapped out of his daze.

He chuckled softly, pinching Zhang Ruonan's cheek: "What are you talking about? How could I possibly have such a strange hobby?"

So what are your preferences?

tell me.

I can do it.

Zhang Ruonan looked at Lu Yunzhou very seriously, wanting to convey her firm belief to him through her eyes.

But before she could speak, Lu Yunzhou pulled her into the room.

One hour later.

Although Zhang Ruonan's body was in a little pain, her heart was filled with sweetness, as if she had drunk a large glass of mango juice.

At this moment, she clung to Lu Yunzhou like an octopus, resting her head against his chest.

Her face still held a hint of shyness and a lingering blush.

"Brother, I've been waiting for this day for so long. Do you know how anxious I've been?"

"Actually, I'm already prepared to be the clown today."

"If you reject me, I'll go back to my room and cry all night. Tomorrow morning, with my eyes swollen like blisters, I'll silently watch you, making you feel guilty."

"The day after tomorrow, I'll act like nothing happened and continue to follow you around like a clingy little devil."

Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou didn't say anything, but hugged Zhang Ruonan in his arms and gave her a light kiss: "Where's the clingy one? I only see a little octopus. And this little octopus has especially long legs."

【Little Octopus with Long Legs】, this is Zhang Ruonan's Weibo side account.

She opened dozens of accounts and deliberately pretended to be sober under Lu Yunzhou's Weibo posts, trying to wake up those brainless fans and tell them to stay away from Lu Yunzhou.

Zhang Ruonan's dozens of alternate accounts are mostly blacklisted accounts under Lu Yunzhou's Weibo posts.

Once it shows its face, it gets chased and cursed by countless fans.

"Hehe, brother, you saw it?"

Lu Yunzhou was watching his every move.

Zhang Ruonan felt a little embarrassed at the moment, but she quickly realized that it was precisely because of her courageous move that Lu Yunzhou would look at her differently.

And today, my wish has finally come true.

"Brother, I know that big stars can't date. If your female fans knew that, they would all leave and choose another idol. It would affect your ability to make big money."

"So don't worry, I won't be like those jealous little girls who have to announce our relationship to the whole world."

"In public, I'm just the most caring little sister in your company. That's all."

"I'll wait for you."

"When you turn 30—most idol stars transition into serious, established artists by 30. Then you can get married and have children."

When Lu Yunzhou was 30, Zhang Ruonan realized she was only 26.

This is the perfect age to get married.

When Lu Yunzhou was 30, Tang Yan was almost 40. She was completely outmatched.

If she accidentally gets pregnant during this process.

She would also considerately disappear without affecting Lu Yunzhou's career—she would quietly come to Italy alone and give birth to the child herself.

Anyway, getting a marriage certificate is just a formality.

Sister Nan is determined to become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family!

"Brother, I've rested enough. I'd like to try it again?"

"Once isn't enough! Tonight, you're not escaping!"

"You won't escape my clutches tomorrow either. Auntie said she won't be back for three days!"

Hehehe!

The next morning.

Lu Yunzhou was still fast asleep because he had exhausted himself last night.

Zhang Ruonan was in a particularly good mood because her wish had come true. Although she was a little tired, she was full of energy and woke up very early in the morning.

However, she originally wanted to get up early to make her husband a loving breakfast. But after getting out of bed and taking a few steps, she realized she felt a little unwell.

She tiptoed to the bathroom, closed the door, took a small mirror, squatted down, and checked herself.

Bright and clear.

"No wonder it hurts so much."

-

It looks like it's been stung by a bee; it's simply unbearable to look at.

"These are Sister Nan's results!"

After applying some ointment, Zhang Ruonan felt a little better and recalled the sweetness of last night and the tenderness of Lu Yunzhou when he held her.

A sweet smile crept onto her lips, and she couldn't resist returning to the room, snuggling into Lu Yunzhou's arms and holding him tightly.

Zhang Ruonan had heard a piece of gossip online before: Tang Yan committed suicide by cutting her wrists for a man.

Although she was too embarrassed to ask Tang Yan if it was true.

At the time, Zhang Ruonan couldn't understand why any man would be worth her attempting suicide by cutting her wrists. Tang Yan's love-struck mind was truly remarkable.

But now—

She began to understand Tang Yan a little.

"Brother, you're awake? Did I wake you up by being too rough?" Zhang Ruonan lowered her head, feeling a little guilty.

Lu Yunzhou shook his head, then pondered for a moment before asking very seriously, "You were snoring and grinding your teeth last night. Were you dreaming about eating something delicious?"

Snoring and grinding your teeth?

Is this me?

At that moment, Zhang Ruonan felt utterly ashamed to face anyone.

"Haha, just kidding. You slept so peacefully last night, like a little deer. I pinched your nose, and you didn't even react."

Lu Yunzhou gently rubbed Zhang Ruonan's hair on her forehead, then got up to wash and groom herself.

After a while, he finished washing up and asked Zhang Ruonan, "What do you want for breakfast? I saw there are dumplings in the fridge. Shall we have dumplings?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruonan instantly sprang out of bed and rushed to the kitchen.

"Brother, how can I let you cook?"

"A person's energy is limited. You should put your energy into things that are more valuable."

"Taking care of you is my responsibility."

What's so hard about cooking for the man you love?

The reason why women are unwilling to cook for men boils down to one thing: they don't love the men.

She was willing to cook for Lu Yunzhou for the rest of her life, without complaint or regret, finding it all very enjoyable.

If she could, Zhang Ruonan would rather pray to God that Lu Yunzhou would only ever want to eat her food. Eating other women's food made Lu Yunzhou feel nauseous and vomit; he couldn't eat a single bite.

"Brother, isn't it much better to have a woman in the house than before?"

Zhang Ruonan grew up in the countryside, helping her parents take care of her younger siblings, and her life skills are top-notch.

Soon, she made fried rice for Lu Yunzhou, adding some Italian ham.

The taste is not bad.

As Lu Yunzhou ate his lovingly prepared breakfast, he looked at Zhang Ruonan sitting opposite him and sincerely commented, "Xiao Nan, with such a great personality, you're destined to be a big star."

In the movie "Crazy Racing", Lu Yunzhou originally planned to have Tang Yan act as a couple with the male lead, making Tang Yan the undisputed female lead.

But now, he has changed his mind.

He planned to design Tang Yan as the protagonist's career partner, following the protagonist from the beginning of domestic go-karting competitions and accompanying the protagonist as he grows into a racing star.

-

The emotional storyline, which requires only a few scenes and is meant to convey the beauty of love, is given to Zhang Ruonan.

After all, he and Zhang Ruonan are a real couple, so the filming would be more authentic.

"Brother, you can make the decisions about things at home. I'll listen to you." Zhang Ruonan felt that she wasn't very smart, but if she listened to Lu Yunzhou, she would definitely avoid a lot of detours.

Lu Yunzhou nodded slightly and asked while eating, "Xiao Nan, what's your weight now?"

"96 jin?"

Zhang Ruonan hasn't weighed herself for several days, but she probably doesn't weigh more than 100 jin (50 catties).

Lu Yunzhou reached out and gently measured Zhang Ruonan's cheek: "Your face is a bit chubby, and your apple cheeks look sweet when you smile, but they appear wide on camera. Especially on the big screen, because of barrel distortion, this flaw will be particularly noticeable on camera."

Zhang Ruonan instantly understood Lu Yunzhou's subtext.

It wasn't that he thought she was fat, but rather that Lu Yunzhou wanted to promote her as a movie star, so he could only ask that her face be as thin as possible to better suit the camera.

However, Lu Yunzhou felt sorry for her suffering during her weight loss journey.

This warmed Zhang Ruonan's heart and filled her with motivation. With a determined look, she said, "Brother, from now on, I'll eat a little less at each meal. I'll try to lose 10 pounds in three months!"

A sensible girl is a good thing.

It can reduce a lot of communication costs for yourself.

"Hehehe."

Just then, Zhang Ruonan seemed to have thought of something happy and couldn't help but chuckle again.

Seeing Lu Yunzhou looking at her with a puzzled expression, Zhang Ruonan couldn't hold back any longer and said with a blushing face, "After dinner, I want to start losing weight—losing weight in bed."

I've heard that losing weight in bed is incredibly effective!

Losing weight in bed with someone you love brings double the joy and double the results.

Lu Yunzhou had no idea how others spent the Spring Festival in Italy.

He barely left the house during those three days.

Having finally gotten out to get some fresh air, Lu Yunzhou had just reached the end of the street and was about to watch the lion dance performance at the New Year's Square.

Who knew that a couple was kissing on the street corner.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruonan gently tugged at Lu Yunzhou's sleeve, her eyes sparkling, as if she was expecting something.

Lu Yunzhou seemed to hear Zhang Ruonan's silent words: "[Seeing your extraordinary physique, would you be willing to serve as a dieting companion by this fairy's side?]"

At that moment, Lu Yunzhou pointed to the side and said, "Xiao Nan, you've come all this way to Milan, how about I take you to La Scala to see an opera? That opera house is very unique. It will let you experience the true Italian atmosphere."

"Brother, I don't like listening to opera."

Zhang Ruonan slowly shook her head and said to Lu Yunzhou with a serious expression, "It's almost time, brother, I should lose weight."

Lu Yunzhou didn't know how effective Zhang Ruonan's weight loss was.

Anyway, his weight loss results were very obvious.

I lost 5 pounds in three days!

-

It made his face look even more stern and photogenic.

In addition, it also adds a sense of story.

Indeed, it takes sufficient life experience for a man's face and eyes to convey a sense of story.

"Lu, your three-day holiday is over."

On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yunzhou was having breakfast when he finally received a call from Julia.

"Lu, Mr. Stadler would like to invite you to dinner tonight, and we'd like to chat about 'Racing Cars'."

The preparatory plan for this film project.

The film will be shot primarily at racetracks in Europe, and Audi will be responsible for all aspects of the project, including providing the necessary infrastructure and coordinating venue rentals.

And Mr. Steid from the Italian headquarters is the leader of this working group.

In 2015, Audi's global GG marketing expenditure was approximately €17 billion. The most significant portion of this expenditure was spent on media placements and sporting events.

But whether it's media placement or a sporting event like Le Mans, a medium for dissemination is needed.

Movies are a good medium for communication.

For Audi, the cost is relatively low, but the reach is extensive. If the movie receives good reviews, the cost-effectiveness is simply off the charts.

Let's make an assumption.

The investment cost for one film was 200 million.

The combined number of legitimate and pirated users could affect 2 million people in China alone.

Europe is slightly less, let's say 5000 million.

Audi essentially spent only 2 million yuan to create an immersive Google marketing campaign for 5000 million people. The cost of spreading the message to each user was only 8 cents.

If a movie becomes a box office hit, the costs might be reduced, and the film might even make a small profit.

Supporting Lu Yunzhou's filmmaking is an incredibly good deal for a car company like Audi.

Most importantly, movies can be perfectly integrated with media placements and sporting events, taking Audi's marketing effectiveness to the next level.

Actually, Audi has made related movies before.

"Transporter 2" is basically a promotional video for the Audi A8.

But that movie was a bit too exaggerated; the audience wouldn't take it seriously at all.

After all, which boss who drives an Audi A8 would drive that car recklessly on the road?

I can't relate to this scene at all.

Lu Yunzhou's film "Crazy Racing" fills the gap in Audi's previous work on racing movies adapted from true stories.

It creates a racing dream for R8 users, which will make them feel very immersed in it.

Therefore, although the investment cost of this film project was not high, the entire Audi team paid close attention to it.

This is a completely new endeavor for Audi, full of opportunities to achieve big results with limited resources.

For Steid in the Italian region, this was a rare opportunity to showcase his abilities in front of headquarters.

The presidents of each Audi region typically rotate every three years.

If Stadler does well on this project, there is a very high probability that he can replace Weidler as the CEO of Audi China three years later.

Therefore, he was very motivated to help Lu Yunzhou do a good job on this project!

Hengdian.

The cast and crew of "The Princess Weiyoung".

Tang Yan is exhausted these past two days. She's been filming late into the night every day, and she's so tired she's about to vomit blood.

However, Tang Yan only needs to open her phone every morning and check the real estate news in Shanghai to instantly cure all her fatigue.

Because, starting in the second half of last year, housing prices in Shanghai skyrocketed.

Tang Yan's nickname in the Chinese entertainment industry is "Sister House".

She has used almost all the money she has earned in her career to buy a house in Shanghai.

Shanghai's housing prices have skyrocketed, with the average price within the inner ring road approaching 9 yuan per square meter, and the average price between the inner and outer ring roads approaching 45000 yuan per square meter.

Tang Yan owns a total of 11 apartments in Shanghai, plus three luxury homes!

These houses are all in very good locations.

Is Fan Bingbing very rich?

However, very few people know that Tang Yan is richer than Fan Bingbing.

However, Tang Yan is quite low-key because she knows the principle of not flaunting wealth.

It's the same principle as the Wenzhou people's advocacy of "making a fortune behind closed doors".

"Kiki, who are you chatting with?"

After Tang Yan lies down, normally, the sycophantic Chen Yuqi will immediately come over, tell her a joke, or provide her with some tonics to cheer her up.

However, Chen Yuqi did not come over immediately today. Instead, she talked on the phone for a while, which delayed her for a few seconds.

"Xiao Nan asked me, 'What kind of tonics do people usually give to men in our hometown?'"

"I told her, 'We Sichuan girls never make any tonics for men. A simple phrase like "Lao Zi Shu Dao Shan" (meaning "I am from the Shu Mountains") cures all ills.'"

After Chen Yuqi finished speaking, her expression suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Because she suddenly remembered that she made tonics for Tang Yan every day.

"Remember to focus on your acting on set, and stop chatting with Xiaonan all the time. She has Yunzhou, her godbrother, to protect her; she won't lack roles in the future. What do you have?"

Tang Yan suddenly felt very bad and coldly reprimanded Chen Yuqi.

"Sister Tangtang, I was wrong."

Chen Yuqi keenly sensed that Tang Yan's complexion was rather sour, probably because her irregular sleep schedule and menstrual cycle had caused her to experience early menopause.

Today, the entire film crew is probably going to be in trouble.

"Sister Tangtang, it's nothing, I'm going to memorize my lines."

When Chen Yuqi was scolded by her boss, her first reaction was to run far away and not get in his way. This is one of the survival rules for working people.

"Why----"

After Chen Yuqi left, Tang Yan stared at her lines, unable to concentrate, and sighed deeply, "Tang Yan, Tang Yan, what are you hoping for?"

"Men really do prefer younger women."

She was born in 83.

Zhang Ruonan, born in 96.

Even if she is an extremely wealthy woman with a net worth of billions, so what?

Lu Yunzhou doesn't live off her.

If Lu Yunzhou were to come and live off her, she might not feel so conflicted.

"However, Xiao Nan is quite good. Yun Zhou's judgment has never been bad."

Before long, Tang Yan convinced herself to accept this reality. It was better than Lu Yunzhou getting together with Reba.

If that happens, she can't even imagine how arrogant Yang Mi will be the next time she meets her.

Tang Yan composed herself and called Ji Rujing: "Sister Ji, please help me prepare a New Year's gift. Ask Tongling Jewelry to recommend one for Xiaonan. She's our sister-in-law now."

Zhang Ruonan is a junior artist at Tang Yan's studio. In essence, she's Tang Yan's lackey.

With the New Year approaching, should the boss give gifts to the cattle and horses?

However, if Zhang Ruonan becomes Lu Yunzhou's girlfriend, her status will be completely different.

Because Lu Yunzhou is Tang Yan's most core partner.

She could live without men, without a husband, but she couldn't have any conflicts with Lu Yunzhou. Because Lu Yunzhou was her safety net in her career.

That's also the ceiling of her career!

If a man can guarantee that no matter how many projects she messes up outside, he can still pull her back up and help her reach the pinnacle of her career—

Under these circumstances, unless Lu Yunzhou strangles Tang Yan, Tang Yan will never easily leave Lu Yunzhou.

"By the way, Sister Ji, could you ask the media to reduce the amount of media coverage of Xiaonan, especially her private life and personal information?"

"Don't let her get involved in all the controversies and scandals in the entertainment industry."

A true actor doesn't need much exposure. Like the "Northwest Hammer King," if he walked down the street, practically no one would recognize him.

He can even casually play basketball on a local court. But no one can deny that he's a good actor.

"I see."

When Ji Rujing learned of this news, she was a little surprised, but upon closer reflection, she found it to be quite normal.

Because they both knew the true nature of the relationship between Zhang Ruonan and Lu Yunzhou.

Right now, Lu Yunzhou is the company's cash cow, and in Ji Rujing's eyes, he is even more precious than Tang Yan.

She certainly wouldn't let Zhang Ruonan's matter affect Lu Yunzhou's commercial value.

"Tangtang, focus on your filming and take care of yourself."

Ji Rujing didn't know how to persuade Tang Yan. She could sense that Tang Yan did indeed have special feelings for Lu Yunzhou.

But Tang Yan is actually very clear-headed.

A woman who has been deeply hurt will always set up many firewalls for herself, no matter what she does, to prevent herself from falling into another pit.

A calm and collected woman might find dating a little boring.

But if it's about building a business, she would be the best partner.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yan couldn't help but look westward and sighed inwardly, "The sunset in Milan is beautiful, isn't it?"

I heard that the art street there is a great place to have coffee; it has a really nice atmosphere.

"Aren't Leonardo da Vinci's paintings beautiful?"

"The golden bull on the ground of the Second Emperor's Corridor is said to bring good luck if you step on it and spin it around three times."

"I don't know what kind of magic Zhang Ruonan used to bewitch you."

Tang Yan couldn't help but think that perhaps if she went to Milan with Lu Yunzhou, the outcome would be different.

As they listened together to the bells of Milan Cathedral, on that twilight, as flocks of pigeons took flight, a romantic story unfolded.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yan finally picked up her phone and sent Lu Yunzhou a New Year's greeting with only four words: "May the New Year bring you good fortune."

Milan.

At Lu Yunzhou's home.

Mom agreed that we should go to my uncle's house in Monza, stay for three days, and take a look at the new factory.

But it's already the fifth day.

My parents still have no plans to come back.

After dinner, Zhang Ruonan cleaned up the dishes and went back to her room to change into a new flight attendant uniform.

The last time was China Eastern Airlines.

This time, she switched to Hainan Airlines.

Hainan Airlines' uniforms were even more elegant and graceful. Zhang Ruonan leaned against the door and gave Lu Yunzhou a sweet smile: "Brother, it's time to lose weight."

However, Lu Yunzhou was slumped over the table, writing something, and ignored Zhang Ruonan's calls.

Zhang Ruonan pouted and tiptoed over.

She saw Lu Yunzhou re-drawing the shooting script.

Lu Yunzhou wrote a line of key words on the paper: [Core Story Theme (Absolutely No Deviation): Chinese drivers break through prejudice in a race dominated by Europe and America, stand on the podium, and achieve instant fame!]

Once you have a topic, you need to answer the questions.

Lu Yunzhou then wrote down the keywords "dream," "youth," and "passion" on the paper.

These are all rather high-class terms.

But writing it down is easy; how do we present all of this?

Lu Yunzhou must use concrete actions and deeds to interpret these terms.

"A solitary struggle, from go-karting to Silverstone Circuit in the UK."

"Pursuing personal speed limits, breaking records again and again. His eyes are filled with unwavering focus and a relentless spirit."

"Unlike the madness and impulsiveness of ordinary drivers, I am a cool and rational person, like a machine, with a precise and calculating personality, and I pursue the ultimate order."

"I'm also an Oxford graduate. I can instantly connect weather, temperature, and wind speed to changes in car performance and how to use that to beat my opponents in a race."

Fragments kept surfacing in Lu Yunzhou's mind.

These scenes are all designed to explain the characters' personalities and backgrounds, making them seem more real and relatable.

For a drama film, character development is the most important thing.

To make the audience feel that the character is real rather than fake, the director needs to create a detailed character design.

After the character design is completed, the characters are presented to the audience through various details.

Movies and novels are ultimately different.

In the novel, he can be simply described as a rational person. But in the film, this needs to be presented through cinematic language.

There is a great deal of shift in thinking here.

For a director, a script can only be used as a reference, while the cinematic language of filming requires Lu Yunzhou to break down these words into specific details and weave them together in his mind.

"The core theme and the answering method are both included."

"Next, we need to find more opposing voices and weave them together."

Life can be smooth sailing.

But nobody likes watching a movie that never encounters any trouble from beginning to end. Therefore, movies must have villains.

Used to fight against the protagonist.

For Lu Yunzhou, the next task is to find these conflicting and confrontational stories for the protagonist.

However, before that, Lu Yunzhou needs to experience what it's like to be a race car driver.

"Xiao Nan, I've made plans to go to the Monza circuit tomorrow to experience what it's like to drive a race car. Will you come with me?"

The gentle embrace of love was wonderful, and Lu Yunzhou enjoyed it immensely.

However, the thought of creating the first real Chinese racing movie himself filled Lu Yunzhou with excitement.

"Shall we go to bed early tonight?"

Losing weight makes Zhang Ruonan very happy.

But Lu Yunzhou's dashing appearance when he was deep in thought and completely absorbed in his thoughts captivated Zhang Ruonan.
