Global Movie Emperor

"Director Guo, long time no see."

"Yeah...almost four years, right?"

The two hugged each other gently. Guo Mingde looked at Lu Ze's face and felt very sad and unrealistic. He really didn't expect Lu Ze to get to this point.

In the entertainment industry, if you want to get ahead, luck, strength, resources, and background are all indispensable. And these are just the basics. The most important thing is your emotional intelligence and whether you have audience popularity. Only if these are qualified, can you be successful? There is a possibility of success.

Just maybe.

Guo Mingde didn't think so much at the time. He just felt that his friend's company was short of people, so he hired Lu Ze. He didn't think Lu Ze would be a big hit. He just hoped that Lu Ze could become Qian Sega's actor reserve and enrich the number of artists. To put it bluntly, Just a make-up.

But the strange thing is that Lu Ze is getting higher and higher. He is not rising up like a rocket, but relying on his own strength to rise steadily step by step without falling. He is down-to-earth and has proven his ability to the audience across the country. .

If Guo Mingde hadn't known that Lu Ze didn't believe that, he would have suspected that Lu Ze went to Thailand to hire Gumantong. Many people in the circle felt that Lu Ze had hired a brat.

The two hugged and sat down. Guo Mingde sat next to Lu Ze. When he saw the investor drinking wine, Lu Ze was drinking juice. He raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. He poured himself white wine and was fined three times in a row. cup.

Lu Ze chatted with Wang Zhen and occasionally answered the investor's words. He seemed not to care, but in fact he kept his ears open and listened to the conversation between the investor, Zhuang Yu and Guo Mingde.

It was also from the conversation that Lu Ze learned that this was something Tian Cheng had decided on himself in the past few days, and that Guo Mingde would serve as the assistant director in this movie.

This is not surprising to Lu Ze. There is a chain of contempt in the global film and television circles. As the highest-end movies, TV series have always been despised. If TV series directors want to make movies, many directors will choose to work on film crews first to gain experience.

Guo Mingde is now in his early 40s. It is not surprising at all that he wants to make a movie. He is just working as an assistant director on the crew of Zhuang Yu, who has less experience in directing than himself... To be honest, Lu Ze also feels that Not quite right.

First of all, as a well-known TV drama director in China, Guo Mingde has currently produced nine TV dramas with good results, especially four of the military films, which have become popular nationwide and have become classics.

And what about Zhuang Yu? There is only one movie. Although "Mr. Tree" has achieved results, Guo Mingde's achievements in TV series are also very dazzling.

Although the chain of contempt still exists, you can't help but consider the seniority and gap between the two, right? It is very biased to play the chain of contempt without considering the influence of the two people in film and television dramas.

Besides, Guo Mingde, although he is not as good as the tyrant Liu Ying on the set, his attitude after entering the set is also very tough, and he can't say anything about it.

And what about Zhuang Yu? Lu Ze collaborated with him on a movie. Lu Ze knew Zhuang Yu well. Although he was usually amiable and elegant, he had his own persistence in his work. He hoped that his movie could express what he wanted. What is expressed has its own soul.

The two people collided with each other. If they disagreed on the shooting, Lu Ze could foresee that the conflict between the two would break out. It would definitely be like sparks colliding with the earth. No matter what, he would not compromise.

Thinking of this, Lu Ze raised his head and glanced at the investors. This ridiculous idea must have been theirs, but if you think about it, you can't do this, right?

For a moment, Lu Ze's head felt heavy. He turned around and began to pay attention to the performance of Zhuang Yu and Guo Mingde. Guo Mingde looked normal, eating and drinking as he should, and was very calm.

Although Zhuang Yu is the same, Lu Ze can still feel that Zhuang Yu is somewhat dissatisfied. Lu Ze can feel this emotion, let alone investors who are treacherous and fox-like. They must also know that Zhuang Yu dissatisfied, but remained silent and did not give an explanation.

Lu Ze didn't know if there were any conflicts of interest or favors. After all, Tiancheng was one of the largest companies in the country, and the water inside was very deep.

But Lu Ze naturally started to worry about the new movie. After all, the upgrade task was pending here. He was really afraid that the movie would be ruined because Zhuang Yu and Guo Mingde got involved. Although he would still have made money by then, Hands, but what he cares about now is really not money, but ratings.

At present, Zhuang and Guo are getting along quite harmoniously, and they occasionally clink glasses, but after the filming, this scene will definitely not exist. On the contrary, Lu Ze will be thankful if he doesn't make a fool of himself.

He and Wang Zhen looked at each other, and both of them could see the worry in each other's eyes. It was impossible for the two directors not to quarrel. After all, the style of shooting was here, and neither of them was a loose person. They would both work hard for the work. After investing a lot of energy, it would be strange not to quarrel, right?

The dinner lasted until about nine o'clock in the evening. The investor boss raised his glass and invited everyone to have a drink. Lu Ze definitely had to drink this drink. He poured himself a glass of beer and drank it. The dinner was over.

"Sister Zhen, how are you leaving?"

"My driver is downstairs. Aren't we staying in the same hotel? Will you take my car back? Have breakfast together tomorrow morning?"

Wang Zhen's drinking capacity was not good. Although he didn't drink much, he drank a little too much. He squinted his eyes, leaned against the wall of the corridor, and answered Lu Ze's question.

"My driver is also downstairs. Okay, let's have breakfast together tomorrow morning. Let's go downstairs."

Lu Ze helped Wang Zhen downstairs. Zhuang Yu seemed to want to discuss something with investors, but Lu Ze didn't wait for him. After sending Wang Zhen into the car, he returned to his car.

As soon as he opened the car door, his cell phone rang. Sitting on the car seat, Lu Ze took out his cell phone. It was Song Qingmin calling. Lu Ze thought about it. It has been more than three months. According to the speed of Xiangjiang movies, By this time, all the post-production work should have been completed, which means that "Bigg Boss" will be released soon.

Because of his current health problems, Lu Ze is focusing on his new movie wholeheartedly. To be honest, he really doesn't want to attend any premieres now. He wishes he could spend all night on the studio floor, but there is no way. The contract requires actors to cooperate with the crew in promotion. Otherwise, compensation will be required.

"Director Song, I am Lu Ze."

"Aze, how are you doing? The premiere date has been tentatively set. It's October 13th. Can you come?"

"There's nothing wrong with my health. It's October 13th, right? Then I'll arrive in Xiangjiang on the 12th. Can I make it in time?"

Apart from the Lunar New Year slot, there are no eleventh slots, May Day slots, etc. in Xiangjiang. They usually release the movie on an auspicious day according to the master's calculation. Lu Ze knows this and is not surprised.

"If you have time, then I will wait for you to arrive in Xiangjiang."

"Dong dong dong..."

"Okay, Director Song, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now. I promise to be in Xiangjiang on October 12th. Okay, bye. Director Guo, what's the matter?"

Just after making a phone call with Song Qingmin, the car glass was knocked several times. Lu Ze looked around and found Guo Mingde standing outside waving to him. After hanging up the phone, Lu Ze opened the car door and let Guo Mingde sit in. In his heart, Guo Mingde's intention is already clear.

"I'll stay in the same hotel with you and take a ride with you. I want you to give me a ride, do you mind?"

Remove the fact that I will stay in the same hotel with you. In fact, this is what Guo Mingde really meant. Although his head was looking at Liu Bin sitting in the driver's seat, the "we" had nothing to do with Liu Bin. Lu Ze understood very well, and Guo Mingde was right He was kind, but he didn't know how to say it. He just took out the mineral water from the refrigerator and handed it to Guo Mingde.

"Why don't you mind? Brother Liu, just drive. Director Guo, you are drinking too, so drink some water."

"Oh, okay, thank you, oh... Lu Ze, you really impressed me, you're really good."

Lu Ze didn't answer, and Guo Mingde didn't mind either. The car became quiet, and then Guo Mingde fell asleep in the car, snoring like thunder, which was deafening.

Lu Ze looked at the cars passing by outside the window, thinking about his thoughts. The dim street lights shone into the car, making Lu Ze's face seem to flicker...

"...."
