“AH, it’s actually the famous Emperor Lu.”Tang Suran was surprised.
“You’re still a fan?”Yun Xiangxiang was also a little surprised.
The term Emperor Lu was used on the internet. Lu Jin’s fans and entertainment news would only highlight these two words.
“My brother and I went to watch ‘heart of craftsmanship’. Even my grandfather said that this film has a foundation.”
As it involved traditional culture and the production team of this film was also reliable, Tang Zhili brought Tang Suran to watch it. After watching it, they felt that it was very classic.
It was also because of this reason that they knew about Lu Jin.
“Then I won’t introduce you.”Yun Xiangxiang turned around and only introduced them to Lu Jin. “This is Tang Suran, the Miss of the Tang family. This is Tang Zhili, the second young master.”
“Hello, second young master Tang. Hello, Miss Tang.”Lu Jin politely extended his hand and shook Tang Zhili’s hand. Then, he nodded and smiled at Tang Suran.
“I have something to ask brother Jin. I Won’t have time after I finish attending the Film Festival Tomorrow, so I invited you all together. We can consider it as getting to know one more friend.”Yun Xiangxiang explained with a smile.
Tang Zhili was a well-read intellectual. Tang Suran was also well-rounded. Lu Jin’s horizons and knowledge were also very wide. Everyone sat together and chatted very well.
Soon, the dishes were served. There were actually four major cuisines, two dishes each, eight dishes and one soup.
Yun Xiangxiang thought about it and felt that it was her first time eating so many different flavors for a meal. Although she was not used to some of the flavors, she had to admit that they were also delicious. She felt particularly comfortable during the meal. After the meal, Yun Xiangxiang handed the script she brought over to Lu Jin.
Lu Jin looked at Yun Xiangxiang’s script and his expression suddenly froze.
“What’s Wrong?”Yun Xiangxiang noticed Lu Jin’s change. She followed Lu Jin’s gaze and saw that Lu Jin was staring at the place where she was taking notes.
Her heart tightened. Although she had a new life, she had the same habit of taking notes. The Way Yun Xiangxiang and Hua Xiangrong took notes was exactly the same as the way they did some punctuation.
However, Hua Xiangrong had never shown her script to anyone. If it were not for the fact that Ruo Feiqun was very busy and Ruo Feiqun did not dabble in the acting circle and had always been active in the music industry, he would not have seen Hua Xiangrong’s script.
Even if he had seen it, he might not have paid attention to it.
Logically, Lu Jin should not have known about it, but Lu Jin even knew about Black Panther and white pigeon. As for the script..
Yun Xiangxiang thought that it would be difficult for her to ask Wei Shanwen for another script. Yan Zhenben and Wei Shanshan did have one, but it was not as complete as hers.
Yun Xiangxiang had never been wary of Lu Jin for such a small matter, but she had been careless.
“No, I just thought that the way you marked the script looked a little familiar.”Lu Jin should not have suspected anything. He quickly retracted his gaze and began to read the script seriously.
He picked the scenes with the male lead in them and skimmed through them.
The only thing that was worth celebrating was that Yun Xiangxiang’s handwriting was completely different from Hua Xiangrong’s. Hua Xiangrong did not read much and did not have the time to practice good handwriting. She could only say that it was neat. Yun Xiangxiang was different. She had practiced calligraphy since she was young and her handwriting was very good.
“The plot is very good. It is quite meaningful. It suits eastern and western tastes. The plot is also full. The ending is smooth and natural.”Lu Jin gave the film a very high evaluation.
This was not an educational film, nor was it a film with a cultural heritage. It was a beautiful fairy tale film that woke people up. The plot of a pie falling from the sky at the beginning of the film was actually very easy to resonate with because everyone wanted it.
In the end, they told them that this was not a pie, but a trap. However, the female lead was not bewitched by the PIE, and the setting of her rebirth in the trap was easy to accept and understand.
It was indeed Wei Shanwen’s style.
“The script is very good, I plan to really fight for it.”Lu Jin closed the script and touched it with some nostalgia. Then, he gave it to Yun Xiangxiang.
“Ah?”Yun Xiangxiang was stunned. “No, brother Jin, this kind of film is not suitable for you. Do you know that?”
“What is not suitable for me?”Lu Jin asked?
“It’s my age…”
“You Think I’m Old? Although I’m in my thirties, I look no different from a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old, right?”Lu Jin touched his face and looked at the Tang siblings.
The siblings nodded in agreement. Lu Jin indeed took good care of himself. He was no different from a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old.
“No… It’s not that I think you’re old.”Yun Xiangxiang did not know how to describe it. “It’s just like how a capable person like you isn’t suitable to act in such an idol-like film!”
Lu Jin held a high position in Yun Xiangxiang’s heart. He was like a king standing on a divine altar. He should act in such high-end and magnanimous films, such as “The king’s plan”‘s majestic momentum and “Craftsmanship”‘s deep background. Such high-end films.
Yun Xiangxiang admitted that “Soar to the sky”was a good film, but its status was not high. Even if it was popular all over the world, it could not be said that it was a memorable classic.
Just like how a history book could not be placed in a children’s book, it would seem out of place.
“If I act in some old-fashioned film again, the whole world will probably think that I’m old.”Lu Jin did not joke with Yun Xiangxiang, “You don’t have to feel burdened. The reason why I read the script first and then make a decision is to tell you that this is not a personal decision, but a careful choice.”
Lu Jin’s current agent could not control him at all. Not to mention that his agent did not have he weiqiang, his agent could only listen to him due to his high and unattainable status as a king. Now, he was free to take on any scenes as he pleased. If there was a script that he liked, he would take it, if not, then he would rest. Even if he did not start work for a year, the earnings would still be enough to make his agent happy.
He was not worried about his lack of popularity at all. This was the difference between those who were capable and those who were idols.
It just so happened that he was not taking on any scenes at the moment. Soar to the sky was a very good experience. It could also be considered as an attempt to broaden his acting career. Of course, he would not take the road of idols, but he could still experience it once in a while.
“But brother Jin, our production team is not as rich as your previous production team. Even the filming villa is on loan!”Yun Xiangxiang could only change her way of persuading Lu Jin. “They can’t afford to hire you at all.”
The investment for “Soar to the sky”was not particularly high, especially when Yun Xiangxiang was given a share of the profits, so it was even more economical.
Lu Jin’s current salary was almost two-thirds of the total investment of Soar to the sky! If the investors needed more money to hire Lu Jin, they would most likely choose Chu Chen.
It was fine if Lu Jin did not compete, but if he lost to Chu Chen in the competition, wouldn’t that mean that Chu Chen would spread the news to the sky?
Lu Jin was invited by Yun Xiangxiang to wreak havoc, not to be a stepping stone for Chu Chen. How could he bear to let Lu Jin suffer his wrath?
