Since “Distant Films” was a film company, it needed to look like a film company.
You couldn’t present a dilapidated company to anyone.
After all, it was the Movie King.
Hence, the places that necessitated cleaning was required. Lu Yuan also asked people to change the billboard outside the house into one that had glowing characters, and to decorate the company. After finishing the works at the door, Lu Yuan stood at the door and nodded.
Although it still looked low-class, it at least looked more presentable than the billboard which was nearly blown away by the wind…
At least, it somewhat resembled a company now.
Lu Yuan was still satisfied.
In the house.
“Why does the head cameraman of the cast need to do this kind of work? Am I a cleaner? This group of poor people!” Li Qing covered his nose and washed the dirty toilet in the room. Li Qing almost vomited.
The toilet bowl hadn’t been washed for a very long time. It was unbelievably pungent.
It was Li Qing’s first time washing such a dirty toilet.
“The deputy director is cleaning the glass! Who are you to complain! Clean it up quickly, I want to use the toilet!” Fatty Wei, who was cleaning the windows outside the bathroom, chided him after hearing the voice. There was no rebuttal subsequently.
“Go to hell, there is a public toilet next door!”
“I have no toilet paper! Take a few squares out for me, I need to go!”
“Don’t you have a newspaper? Make do with it! I’m busy.”
“Get out!”
The two brothers in the house swore at each other as they slogged it out. Outside the house, Lu Yuan used electrical appliances to inspect the building’s cables.
There were a few lightbulbs in the hall that had malfunctioned. Lu Yuan, who had a little knowledge with regards to electrical engineering, needed to fix these cables.
The Movie King, the winner of the Golden Bull Award, was about to visit the company. It was important not to be haphazard.
Although firecrackers couldn’t be set off for celebration purposes, it was imperative not to let guests sit under the dim light and drink moldy tea leaves.
What a disgrace that would be!
Lu Yuan felt that he should be acting as a person with status and talent. He couldn’t be so casual anymore.
“I said, don’t smoke in front of me!” Wang Jinxue stood five meters away from Lu Yuan, who was at work. Her expression was frosty.
“Then, you can turn around. Don’t look at me, so I’m not in front of you.”
“Smoking in front of ladies is not good. Do you know what a gentleman is?” Wang Jinxue folded her arms around her chest. Her feeling that Lu Yuan was a bastard became more and more intense.
If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed such a bastard could possess such talent.
It’s really…
Were the heavens so heartless?
“Does not smoking equate to being a gentleman? In this case, there are so many gentlemen in the street, excluding me.”
“You’re unreasonable!” Wang Jinxue inhaled deeply and finally turned away from Lu Yuan, the bastard.
She felt a little speechless at this instant.
From young, all men had behaved courteously and gentlemanly in front of her.
As for Lu Yuan, he didn’t know what constituted a gentleman, and what constituted elegance.
Lu Yuan continued his work on the cables.
In fact, he was a little worried.
Life always brought about little surprises.
Originally, he had just wanted to make a movie to get by. The film company was also temporary and unregistered. Unexpectedly, it had attracted the Movie King, the winner of the Golden Bull Award…
Movie King…
Pfft.
This was on a different level.
After repairing the cables, Lu Yuan climbed down the ladder and turned on the lights in the room. When he saw that the lights turned on, he finally nodded.
Still acceptable.
With the lighting and brand-new furniture, it really somewhat resembled a company.
“I’ve registered “Old Boy”. I’ve also registered “Invisible Wings” as well as the script, “Buried Alive”.”
“What’s the use of registering them?”
“It’s useless, but at the very least, there will be no copyright disputes in the future.”
“Oh, thank you.” Lu Yuan saw Wang Jinxue standing at the door and bizarrely felt some warmth in his heart.
Wang Jinxue was a good person.
“Although you are a little lazy, your singing skills are slightly poor, and you are ordinary looking, you have a good voice and some talent. You can still be a singer if you work hard in the future. People always have to set a goal for themselves. What do you say?” Although Wang Jinxue didn’t really see eye to eye with Lu Yuan, who she thought had no substance, she still had a strong voice.
She seemed to want to guide him along.
“Singer?” Lu Yuan was stunned and hesitated.
Was being a singer lucrative?
As well as profitable?
Wrong!
He just wanted to save a sum of money, go home and open a restaurant or Internet bar, maintaining a low profile…
Be a singer?
He only knew a few songs. He couldn’t maintain this fake image for long.
Was I really talented?
Bullshit!
“Haha, are you interested?” Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan and thought that he had actually listened to her words. “Quit smoking if you are interested. Smoking is bad for your voice.”
“It’s impossible to quit smoking. Not in my life. It’s not like having a child, or finding a partner. Besides, I don’t have any other hobbies, so I just smoke to kill my loneliness…” When it came to the topic of smoking, Lu Yuan wanted to smoke again. He finally reached into his pocket, but he realized that the winner of the Golden Bull Award was coming. He had to make a good impression for himself. Hence, he resisted the urge to smoke.
“You are too ill. You are hopeless,” Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan’s crestfallen expression and shook her head again. Her expression turned unbelievably cold.
Ultimately, the strong voice turned into one of apathy, with a little element of anger injected into it.
“So be it, it’s no big deal. At most, I’ll just be buried under a pile of cigarettes, not to be reincarnated.”
Lu Yuan was too lazy to deal with the change in Wang Jinxue’s expression, as well as emotions. He stretched and walked out of the house, gazing into the distance.
There was a highway in the distance.
The traffic on the highway was bustling.
He suddenly felt a little nervous upon thinking of the person he was about to meet.
The Movie King, the winner of the Golden Bull Award!
This weight…
It was a little heavy.
If he acted like he was superior, Lu Yuan would find a reason to make things difficult, as well as reject him.
Time seemed to always be passing slowly.
About an hour later, when the tables, chairs, glass surfaces, bathroom and other places were wiped clean, Fatty Wei and Li Qing followed Lu Yuan in staring at the highway.
In fact, apart from Lu Yuan, both of them felt nervous and expectant.
The two were different from Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was a big bastard, but the two of them had dreams.
“Li, do you think us ordinary people can get into the Movie King, Lu Yihong’s good books?”
“Fatty Wei, you should pay attention to your words! What do you mean by “ordinary people”? You guys are ordinary. I’m different from the both of you. I’m a young man with ambition and a bright future!” Li Qing tidied up his clothes, pushed up his glasses, and in an instant, he transformed from a middle-aged toilet cleaner to a middle-aged, coquettish, artistic man.
He even raised his head slightly to fiddle with his beard. He looked noble!
He felt that he was a man who had seen the world and its challenges. Naturally, he felt that he was different from the others!
At least, he had a good team behind him.
“Pui!” Fatty Wei couldn’t help but spit out a thick mouthful of phlegm. He couldn’t help but imagine himself beating Li Qing up with his shoe.
His behaviour really irked him!
Wang Jinxue listened to the conversation between the two people. She felt speechless. Compared with the two of them, she suddenly felt that Lu Yuan was still a little more pleasant…
Under the sun, Lu Yuan looked into the distance, smiling quietly. There seemed to be some complex and incomprehensible emotions beneath his deep gaze.
Lu Yuan’s outfit was still so simple. His pants didn’t even match his top…
However, at this moment, he was quiet.
He didn’t resemble the bastard that he was previously.
If he didn’t smoke, swear and was not lazy, he wasn’t bad looking at all.
He wasn’t a young, inexperienced man, nor the middle-aged uncle that was charismatic…
But…
He exuded a sense of maturity that was beyond his years.
Perhaps, this was a man with a story.
At this moment, Wang Jinxue thought this way.
Of course, if Wang Jinxue knew that Lu Yuan was thinking about how he would skive in the future when filming started, how to sneak around, save some money to go home, start a small business and marry, she would not think this way now.
She would even…
She would slap Lu Yuan hard.
These three people…
Frankly, they were disgraces!
They were not…
Decent at all.
…
Huajin Entertainment, Headquarters.
“Is this person in the video Lu Yuan? He sings with emotion.”
“Brother T, do you have any ideas?”
“Yeah, I want to get in touch with this man.”
“You think he has potential?”
“Well, a little. He has a good voice.”
“I don’t think this would be good. He’s just a nobody. I’ll locate him myself.”
“Haha, were you famous from the beginning?”
“Ah? This…”
“I want his information. Make it as detailed as possible.”
“Oh, alright.”
