Chapter 142
Chapter 142
Early March 2026.
Blue Sky Studio's eight-month-long preparation for "The End of the Blue Star: Alien Beast" officially started shooting in the suburbs of Dongshi.This filming is starring Qi Nuo and Bai Yao.It is not the first time for both of them to participate in a big production, but it is the first time for them to be responsible for the box office of a big production, and the pressure is self-evident.
For this reason, they asked Lu Jue and screenwriter Hu Qingqing a lot of questions as early as in the script seminar, and prepared biographies of the characters in advance for emergencies.
No one in the circle of Lu Jue knew about Lu Jue's temper.
For this one, not only the hero and heroine are under great pressure, but the other supporting roles are also afraid to paddle. They have all made the most adequate preparations before they dare to join the group with their assistants.
"Damn it, did you really build a black city? Isn't that too much?"
Sitting in the dressing room, Bai Yao kept thinking about the town she just saw in her heart, feeling so excited.
A few days ago, everyone was shooting against the green screen in the studio. This was the first time she came to the field, and she also saw the Wucheng that Lu Jue spent [-] million to create.
This is not the first time she has participated in a major production, but it is the first time she has seen a director so willing.
"Isn't it amazing?" Mr. Xin, the make-up artist, looked at Bai Yao's face, thinking about what else to add, "But this Wucheng couldn't have been built only by Qingkong. I can’t bear to spend the money.”
"Official blessing? No wonder." Bai Yao sighed, seeing the dirty and ugly appearance in the mirror again, she silently averted her gaze. "I know my character is down and out, but it doesn't have to be so ugly, right?"
"Director Lu asked, you understand."
Mr. Xin took a comb and mercilessly turned Bai Yao's soft hair into a chicken nest.
Bai Yao: "..."
Thinking about the pain during the training period, and touching her abdominal muscles, Bai Yao could only face it with a smile.It is impossible to be glamorous, and now it is time to consider how to show wild beauty.
After all, you should get used to being ugly when filming "To Live".
Getting ready, Bai Yao squatted in the corner with his assistant, waiting for the assistant director to arrange, while watching the rival scene between Qi Nuo and Lin Ziyu.
As expected of having practiced in Hollywood, these two people have a super sense of camera, and their acting skills are also very expressive.Looking at them, Bai Yao's heart pressure surged, and she could only keep thinking about what Teacher Wuzhi said to calm down.
"Isn't it because you have a good relationship with Director Lu? You're lucky."
The young man folded his hands on his chest, and stood by the side looking impatiently at Qi Nuo and the others.
Bai Yao: "..."
Oh, Yu Zihao, no wonder.
Confirmed the eyes, it is a traffic star hyped by "Alive".There was no sense of existence during the walk-on period, and after becoming popular, they became arrogant and troublesome characters.
Bai Yao withdrew her gaze, and silently opened the script to confirm today's lines.
I thought that the two of them had worked together before and could become friends, but they didn't expect Bai Yao to be so disrespectful.
Yu Zihao didn't get a reply, so he turned and left in a dull manner.
Before joining the group, his agent told him to film quietly and not to provoke Lu Jue.
However, as a newcomer, Yu Zihao's resources are surprisingly good, and he has developed a rebellious and arrogant character.
It's okay for a senior like Qin Nuo who is struggling, but Lin Ziyu is really dissatisfied with the fact that Lin Ziyu became the male number two purely by luck, and what is even more dissatisfied is Lu Jue's indifference to him.
Dissatisfaction gradually accumulated.
Yu Zihao held back for a long time, and couldn't help venting his anger at the crew.And his behavior has been noticed by the assistant director Zuo Zehan, and was even recorded quietly by the cameraman who specializes in making sideshows.
—
Perhaps with the blessing of awards, Lu Jue clearly felt that the shooting went smoothly unexpectedly.
Not to mention Lin Ziyu, an employee of Qingkong, even powerful actors such as He Yu and Qi Nuo rarely expressed their opinions on Lu Jue's instructions, let alone the art design and prop masters in the crew.
Seriously, the Martial Arts Instructor would quarrel with Lu Jue...
For reasonable requests, Lu Jue is willing to discuss with them to pursue the best results.
After a long time, He Yu and the others are also willing to express their opinions.For this reason, screenwriter Hu Qingqing had to stay on the set for a long time, changing the lines from time to time for the actors' new ideas.
"Director Lu, I think there is something wrong with this line, can you change it?"
"..."
On this day, as usual, Lu Jue gave He Yu and the others a storytelling draft.Then, the little fresh meat named Yu Zihao showed up in front of him.
If I remember correctly, he seems to be the male number four who spent 5000 million investment in exchange for it?Whose family is here?Are you so ignorant?
Lu Jue frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the problem?"
Yu Zihao was unaware of his dissatisfaction, instead he said freely: "I think Shao Hai's malice towards the protagonist is too abrupt, and the character is too thin, we should change the character balabal..."
Lu Jue: "..."
After listening to it for a while, I didn't feel anything else, but I felt that this guy wanted to add drama.Seeing that the situation was not going well, He Yu and the others all slipped away, tacitly leaving room for Lu Jue.
So, Lu Jue couldn't bear it any longer, and interrupted him directly, "Have you memorized the lines yet? Just go straight to it when you've memorized them, okay?"
Yu Zihao: "... yes."
I thought that even if I couldn't change Lu Jue's mind with 4000 million fans, I could still get a gentle attitude.As a result, Yu Zihao was swept away in front of the whole crew.
After that, he was in a bad mood and NGed several times, making Lu Jue's already ugly face even worse.
"That's it, next game."
Lu Jue waved his hand, not wanting to hang around with Yu Zihao any longer.
It's nothing more than an insignificant male number four, and the scenes will be cut if they don't perform well.
Yu Zihao didn't know what Lu Jue was thinking, and ran to the side with dissatisfaction to see how other people behaved.
Then, when Qi Nuo NGed several times, Lu Jue not only didn't turn his back on him, but called people in front of him to give an analysis of the play, and even performed in person.
Yu Zihao: "..."
why?
They are all NG, so why treat them differently?
Yu Zihao had no intention of introspection, but was deeply dissatisfied with Lu Jue.For this reason, he made a special phone call to complain to his agent, trying to use the background to warn Lu Jue.
Then he got the big news.
During Lu Jue's busy period, there was a lot of commotion in the entertainment industry.
There was an actor divorced in the past, and Lu Zixu later sued black fans... In addition to the scandal, the hit of a Dangai drama is also the biggest surprise in the circle.
Seriously, this Dangai drama called "Reserved" is not the first case, but before it, only the Dangmei drama "Like Love" really became popular.As for the others, most of them are low-quality web dramas, the kind that don't have any splashes at all.
In contrast, "Reserved", which is brilliant in service, has a pragmatic plot, and focuses on brotherhood, just entered the eyes of the original girl.
"Woooo blueberry, do you dare to put down an episode? It's too much to stop here."
"Brother, brother, love, I understand~"
"Danmei is not allowed to be filmed at the moment, and Dangai is not bad. This time the casting is really good, it is the person who came out of "Reserved", right?"
"Ruan Hao, my treasure boy, I love him so much."
"Is there any more clips of Wen Yu X Ruan Hao? I'm too tired of this high-cold, black-bellied attack X domineering and submissive..."
……
Borrowing the tap water from the original girl, the emotionally ambiguous and rigorous "Reserved" is like a fire that burns the entire September.The two leading actors also took this opportunity to become newcomers.
It's worth mentioning that Ruan Hao signed under Lu Zixu's flag, and the two would go out together from time to time, and there was a cult CP.
But no matter what kind of CP, Ruan Hao's real fire cannot be denied.
September this year belongs to "Reserved".
On Lu Jue's side, October just started, and the crew of "The End of the Blue Star", which had been going smoothly since the filming started, encountered a major crisis.
"Have you heard? Aohuang is going to withdraw its capital."
"Aohuang? Didn't Huangfeng withdraw its capital? Which of these rumors are true?"
"You said, if the investment is withdrawn...can this movie still be made? If there is no follow-up funding support for such a big production, it will be over."
"Director Lu is so powerful, he will definitely find new investors..."
The staff of the crew gathered together involuntarily to discuss the veracity of the rumors.
Among them, a well-connected martial arts instructor smoked a cigarette and said softly: "It's not just one family that wants to divest, but three or more. I heard that some people in the circle want to take this opportunity to convince Lu Dao. I also know that this is a rare opportunity." Breathing out a puff of smoke, "The question now is whether Director Lu is willing to give in. His thoughts determine whether this project can continue."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, convinced by Wu Zhi's statement.
Everyone knows that the entertainment industry is full of filth, most of them are chasing after fame and fortune, and are full of greed.
In the past, Red Star Entertainment took the lead, but now that Dongyuan, one of the top three, has fallen, how can we expect the entertainment company to keep its promise?
At the beginning of this year, Lu Jue has gained both fame and fortune, and directly rose to become a famous director in China.
This fact cannot be changed, and Lu Jue's dissatisfaction made many seniors and investors in the entertainment circle very dissatisfied.
For that group of people, it is not a good thing for Lu Jue to be young and aggressive.They can support Lu Jue for profit, but they can also use profit to tame Lu Jue.
After all, who could resist a cornucopia of talent and docility?
This time too.
Under the deliberate guidance of some people, the investors of "The End of the Blue Star" have different ideas, and Aohuang wants to take this opportunity to take Lu Jue under his command.
Rumors of the divestment kept coming, and even the extras heard it.
In this regard, Lu Jue did not let anyone stop him, instead he stopped filming and ran around every day, his frowning appearance seemed to be really affected.
One day, two days...
The crew was shut down for ten days, and even He Yu and Lu Wenyao talked to Lu Jue in person, assuming an investment gesture.Anxiety spread. In the crew, there was Qi Nuo who secretly asked his agent about his financial situation, and there was also Yu Zihao who overbearingly suppressed Hu Qingqing and tried to add drama to himself.
Just when the crew was about to be in chaos, Lu Jue said to the outside world, "Even if I pay for my death, I will not agree to your request."
Yu Zihao: "..."
As a role appointed by investors, he did not expect Lu Jue to be so bold.But at this point, divestment has become a certainty.
National Day in October.
The companies headed by Blueberry.com and Dongyuan Entertainment took the lead in withdrawing their capital, and Yu Zihao, the male number four, also packed his things and officially left.With their withdrawal, the funding gap of "Blue Star's End" also reached a staggering 1.7 million.
In the past two years, Qingkong has made a lot of money, and has also begun to invest abroad.As for the overseas box office, they can get very little, and it's not time to split the account yet.
Then, an embarrassing thing happened—Qing Kong had no money.
——This crew is about to end.
People in the industry defaulted that Lu Jue couldn't find a new investor, and big companies waited for Lu Jue's bad luck and were ready to poach corners at any time.No matter how poor Lu Wenyao's support in selling a house is, it will also weaken the Lu family and his son, isn't it?
It won't work this time, maybe it will work next time?
Seeing that the plan was going so smoothly, Lu Zixu was in a happy mood, and even tweeted a smile.The fans didn't know what was going on, they all thought that my brother was celebrating the National Day, and they reposted the congratulations one after another.
that's it.
The National Day holiday is fleeting.
Just as some people were expecting, news came from people in Lu Jue's crew that a mysterious investor appeared during the National Day and directly gave Lu Jue [-] million funds to support it.
Lu Zixu: "..."
Insider: "..."
What seems wrong with this development?
Everyone in the industry was shocked by the appearance of the mysterious investor, and Lu Guangxiong was even more regretful that he could not buy Lu Wenyao's house.
"A bunch of idiots."
Lu Jue flipped through the actor's resume, took out one casually, and said, "He's the fourth male number. Brother Chen, you know what to say to the outside world, right?"
Wei Yuan slumped on the chair, with lingering fears in his heart, he said, "Ah Jue, it was almost... just that little, our project has to be stopped."
Lu Jue didn't raise his head, "This time it was an accident, don't worry."
Wei Yuan sighed: "Hey, what's the attitude of that investor? Are you familiar with Lu Guangxiong and the others? It won't be a while before they will divest again?"
Lu Jue frowned, "The money has already arrived, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, they won't have time to talk to us soon." After saying this, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his expression was gloomy.

If 2026 is the year of Lu Jue, then 2027 will be the year of Lu Zixun.
In the beginning of 2027, Lu Zixu took to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, her artist Xu Jie became popular through An Xian's movie, and Ruan Hao even tore up resources with Wen Yu, the star of "Reserved", and began to purify fans.
The two of you go too far today and I will step on you tomorrow, and the quarrel is full of uproar, and the hearts of CP fans are broken.
In March 2027, Ruan Hao and Pan Jingyao cooperated, and the love light comedy "Hello, Mr. Wolf" directed by Zhong Yurong was officially launched.
Once it was broadcast, fans of Wen Yu's family cursed in turn, and fans of Ruan Hao's family frantically swiped the screen, the scene was quite lively.
In April 2027, the well-known paparazzi Huang Zheng broke the news that Ruan Hao received a salary of 4 million in "Hello, Mr. Wolf", which shocked the people who eat melons.
"Hey, I know that the entertainment industry makes money, but I never thought it would be like this."
"Ruan Hao's new traffic can get 1.1 million yuan, so don't other traffic stars?"
"Good guy, my Qi Nuo and Lu Jue's salary is only 3000 million yuan. How can you young people pay so many times for a single movie? It's so frightening."
"Hahahahahahahahat wants to interview fans, what is the mood of people who are worried about [-] a month?"
Accompanied by the related trending searches of #黎浩1.1million#, people who eat melons mercilessly mock fans, and many powerful actors in the circle feel sorry for Xiaoxianrou's rampage.
Noisy, this matter just passed.
No one took it seriously, but the fact that "Little Fresh Meat was paid more than [-] million yuan for a movie" was imprinted in their hearts.
XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.
Dongyuan invested [-] million in the TV series "Green Walker" which was launched.
At this time, Dong Yuan and Lu Zixu were already close friends, and the two sides helped each other. Many actors under Dong Yuan even cooperated with Lu Zixu and the others.
This time the TV series was released, Lu Zixu even stood on the stage in person to promote it.
This month, "Blue Walker" and Lu Zixu complement each other, breaking the circle again and becoming a topic.It was also the frequent appearance of his name this month that made many passers-by feel rebellious against him.
XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.
The "Battle of the Red Cliff" starring Lu Zixu has officially wrapped up.
At the same time, many uninteresting topics such as #卢子旭街拍#, #卢子旭饭饮#, #卢子旭前面# and many other boring topics took turns to enter the hot search, bringing great happiness to fans and greater mental harm to passers-by.
This year's traffic fans are no longer scattered, and now they have a new management model, the copywriting team, the control review team, the graphics team... and other detailed support groups have terrible combat power.
With this kind of combat power blessing, no matter how dissatisfied passers-by are, they rarely speak out.
This year belongs to traffic stars, this is their most glorious moment.
The author has something to say: the countdown to the end of the text~
Come on, tell me what else you want to see, Ah Chi will write a special episode depending on the situation.
