B-level director

Chapter 42 Big Star

The morning meeting ended hastily.Ban Wu is not a small literary director. The team is mature and battle-tested. Brother Qi and Ling Lingjiu can't gain the upper hand at all. In the end, they can only agree to the overall arrangement of the script.

After the people left, Ling Lingjiu complained: "Master Lu, do you understand the reason why you can't stay close? Why don't you stand by our side. If you didn't get sideways, we will definitely not compromise this time."

Cheng Tianlu: "The approach of Director Ban Wu is the right way. Taking this opportunity, we also make the production process more regular, which is good for future development."

Brother Qi said: "Don't talk about the big reason, you just don't want the project to be completed, so you can delay it if you can."

"That's right!" Cheng Tianlu laughed happily, "It's not that you don't have work in hand, so I'll leave this to Ban Wu to worry about. Let's go, I'll treat you two to dinner!"

When they walked to the door of the studio, they saw reporters still surrounding Tong Yiru for interviews.Tong Yiru's face is full of spring breeze, enjoying the long-lost starry sky.

The three of Tianlu were about to walk away quickly, when Tong Yiru shouted: "Tianlu!"

Dozens of pairs of eyes and lenses were aimed at them.Tong Yiru stretched out his arm, and said with a sweet smile: "I was able to escape this time, thanks to Tianlu. Mexican drug dealers are all armed, and he protects me all the way regardless of his injuries. Don't look at him as elegant and handsome, let's fight It's tough."

All day long, I can't wait to jump off a manhole cover.Ling Lingjiu tapped his arm with his index finger, and said with a shameless smile: "The hero, hurry up and get on the stage, the next part is your play."

The leading male lead glanced at Brother Qi, who couldn't see any emotions under the mirror, and used his facial paralysis to frighten Cheng Tianlu perfectly.

Surrounded by reporters for more than half an hour, the whole day was extremely difficult.His eloquence was useless, only listening to Tong Yiru vividly exaggerating the danger, he couldn't help but want to remind her several times that this would bring them trouble.But he couldn't get in.Tong Yiru: "The Mexicans surrounded the whole building. They only targeted me. Tianlu could escape by himself. But he didn't abandon me. He devoted himself to protecting my safety for more than three hours." Tong Yiru bowed his head and paused Suddenly, she raised her face, her eye circles were already red, and she said in a voice full of emotion: "No one has ever given me such dedication to me, and I am so grateful to him."

Several photographers scrambled forward to capture the expressions of the two of them.A reporter laughed and said, "This is a friend in need."

All day the road teeth are crushed.What Tong Yiru said is all the truth, but the narrative style is completely romantic. If they don't act like a lover and get married, they will be sorry for the Mexicans who have spent so much time hunting.

Sure enough, an entertainment reporter said: "Sister Yiru will promise her with her body."

Tong Yiru chuckled, "I've read too many novels." Then he looked at Cheng Tianlu with a pair of eyes, "Do you want it?"

Cheng Tianlu: "No!"

The reporter booed, "Editor-in-chief Cheng said so, he is very honest!"

Cheng Tianlu suddenly noticed that when the photographers rushed up, Tong Yiru could not stand still and leaned against him.He subconsciously put his arm around Tong Yiru's shoulders, protecting her from taking two steps back so as not to be knocked down by the crowd.

Now that hand is still on Tong Yiru.At night, when Cheng Tianlu and Qi Geer slumped on the sofa, Cheng Tianlu was still in a panic.Stretching out his head to see what Qi Geer drew, Qi Geer smiled: "Is it handsome to draw you?"

"Draw me?

"I was very moved after hearing the story between you and the big star today. Ling Lingjiu is right, you are both smart and brave, and you don't need a filter to be a big hero."

The corner of Cheng Tianlu's mouth curled up, "Don't be sour baby, nothing happened to me and Yiru, you know best."

"Draw it and there it will be."

Cheng Tianlu quickly scanned Qi Ge'er's comics, and the male protagonist who resembled him overcame obstacles to save the beauty, but was dismembered, with his head hanging on the roof beam, one leg in the bathtub, and the other in the mouth of a big dog.The liver is used by the beauty for sandwiches, with coffee and apples.

Cheng Tianlu fell on Brother Qi's belly, frowning exaggeratedly: "Oh, it hurts so much."

Brother Qi rubbed his hair: "The acting skills are really bad."

Cheng Tianlu sighed, "Compared to you professionals, it's a far cry. I was a little happy that Ruo cared about me before. The beauty has taken a fancy to me. Today I know that she also treats me like that. If it's good for her, she can do whatever she wants."

Brother Qi mocked: "Use waste. Do you still think she is infatuated with you? Do you like her too?"

"I don't think about her at all! I wanted to sleep with her before, but didn't I stop the car?" Cheng Tianlu's voice became softer: "Brother Qi, I'm very timid, and I just want to live a peaceful life , those who are unreliable will not be provoked. The only one who can't stop you is you. After fighting for a long time, you finally surrendered." He sat up and hugged Brother Qi's neck, kissed him on the mouth, "I am you If you want to kill or dismember your captives, whatever you want, just don’t leave me.”

Brother Qi pinched his face: "Nicky!"

From that day on, Tianlu tried not to go to the studio as much as possible, and even avoided Tong Yiru.Tong Yiru called and texted him many times, but he used Tai Chi to perfunctory them.

The public opinion on the bombing gradually subsided, and the police stopped inviting them to drink tea. Both Cheng Tianlu and Brother Qi breathed a sigh of relief.They are back on track with their busy lives.This day, Brother Qi was fully dressed and ready to go out.

Cheng Tianlu asked curiously, "Where are you going to dress so grandly?"

"Award."

"Huh?" Cheng Tianlu was extremely surprised, "Did you spend money? What kind of award can you get for your kind of film?"

"Worst Director."

All day Lu happily rolled on the sofa, "You have a thick skin. The bonus is [-] million?"

"My buddy did the judging. I was the most popular on the list, and he told me to join in." Qi Geer has made so many films, none of which is as influential as the bombing case. go up.The whole incident was indeed his directorial work, and Cheng Tianlu thought that Brother Qi had reaped the fruit.

He got up from the sofa and said with a smile, "I'll accompany you!"

"Take your time."

"I'm afraid that your self-esteem will be damaged and you will be depressed. I will always be by your side and lend you my shoulder to cry."

"Get out, you just want to watch a monkey show."

The two once again participated in the awards ceremony side by side, but this time the protagonists were bad actors and bad works, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.The ceremony was held in an online celebrity movie theater, with a soaring roof, hanging chandeliers, a staircase covered with dark red carpets connecting the two floors, and purple and gold velvet hanging on the arched windows, imitating the humble European palace.

Cheng Tianlu thought it was a self-deprecating joke in the circle, but he didn't expect celebrities to gather, many people came to present awards, directors, screenwriters, star writers gathered together.Few people came to receive the award. The only person Cheng Tianlu recognized was Lin Xiaosheng, who had been hammered on the set of Geer Qi.Brother Qi is the only director who dares to come.As soon as Brother Qi came, a large group of media gathered like ants seeing sugar.Cheng Tianlu squinted at Brother Qi, the director was not wearing a woolen cap, colored glasses framed his handsome face, and he was wearing a suit.He didn't take the title of "King of Bad Movies" seriously at all, he didn't come here to confess, nor did he come to show off, his demeanor was calm and full of style.

Cheng Tianlu loved it, but shook his head secretly: Brother Qi's state, at best, is self-sufficient, not swayed by outside standards, at worst, he is sinking in his own world and does not think about making progress.

"I haven't seen enough at home, I'm staring at Brother Qi, and flowers are about to pop out, it's really affectionate." A voice said from the side.

It's not good to scream all day long, you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.Tong Yiru looked at him with a smile: "Long time no see, do you miss me?"

"To be honest, I don't think so much."

"Hey, can't you coax me?"

Cheng Tianlu was amused, "There are too many people who are willing to coax you, and one less dust from me will not damage your charm." As soon as he finished speaking, the staff and reporters surrounded him, taking advantage of the chaos, Cheng Tianlu hurriedly get away.

He had nothing to do, and he didn't want to socialize. He glanced around and saw that Vanity Fair was shining brightly everywhere, and everywhere was boring. Brother Qi's top card, Xu Mengsi, also came, because he was not as radiant as Tong Yiru, so he could only put The clothes are tighter and the facial features are exaggerated; Uncle Hai is also here, showing off his graceful demeanor without distinction, enjoying the gaze full of desire.Lin Xiaosheng——Lin Weixian responded to the media's questions with a smile, and complained to his assistant with a sullen face as soon as he turned his head.His assistant and agent have changed, and he seems to have a much weaker temper, submissive to Lin Weixian.

Undercurrents are surging, and many things are happening secretly—most of them are mirages, tossing and turning in that bit of ambition and vanity.

"It's boring," Cheng Tianlu thought to himself.

"Editor Cheng," a famous entertainment reporter came over to greet him.Cheng Tianlu couldn't hide, and said with a smile: "You always come to this kind of activities, model worker."

"Hey, it's fun. Who still believes in authoritative awards these days? They're all about relationships and exchange of interests. It's not as interesting as the bad film award. And someone came to accept the award this year. Brother Qi is in such a good mood. By the way, you The relationship between the two is strong?"

Cheng Tianlu didn't want to be stereotyped, so he turned his eyes away and said, "Yes. Lin Weixian is also here to accept the award. People in your circle really know how to play."

Yu Ji mocked: "He came here to gain attention because he was going to die soon, chicken thief!"

"Your entertainment journals are strict enough, and you don't let people try their luck and get awards to motivate yourself."

"Who will believe it! It's all about posturing and playing tricks. When you come here, you just say the kind of talk about working hard and honing your acting skills. Whoever cares if he works hard or not, if he can't get results, it's all empty." Besides, the acting skills are not good, but a little entertainment spirit is fine. It’s good to be like Brother Qi. If you say I’m rotten, I’ll be rotten, and I won’t argue with you. Line, how many drinks should I have with Brother Qi?"

Cheng Tianlu thought to himself, brother Qi is really popular, but it's a pity that his popularity is not the right way.Even Lin Weixian, who had disliked Brother Qi, approached him with a lot of smiles to get close, and took pictures endlessly with his shoulders and arms crossed.Uncle Hai and Xu Mengsi naturally joined Qi Ge'er, and this group of people gathered around circles of spectators like the center of a whirlpool.

One person squeezed into the wall, under the hat, with his head slightly drooping, but a pair of eyes glanced fiercely upwards.Brother Qi was the first to feel something was wrong, before the man stood still, Brother Qi asked, "Are you..."

She took off her hat, revealed a haggard face, grinned sullenly, and suddenly hugged Lin Weixian.
