Rebirth Bias

Although a "Book of Laughing and Forgetting" made Lu Ne a hot new director, in fact, for Lu Ne, life has not undergone any earth-shaking changes. There is no need to wear sunglasses, even if you sit in a food stall buttoning your feet in a slack shirt with big pants and two empty eyes, there will be no adrenaline rush from the excitement of the paparazzi.Investors are not all fools, just because you have made a blockbuster movie, you will continue to contribute your own strength.

The second movie that Lu Ne chose caught the eyes of almost everyone who knew him. He chose a vulgar third-rate costume fantasy romance drama.Zhang Chi jumped up anxiously, heartbroken, "Let me tell you, Lao Lu, you are digging your own grave and destroying your future. Horror movies are better than this damn fantasy drama? I want to do 3D, not because I look down on you, Lu Na, but because of the conditions in China, it really doesn’t work.”

Lu Na buried himself in front of the laptop and tapped, without raising his head, he replied, "Who told you I'm going to do 3D?"

Zhang Chi was taken aback, "Didn't the aggrieved-looking person in charge of 'Chengmei' tell you that at the dinner table last time? You still promised well, and you didn't respond when I kicked you under the table."

Lu Na raised his head and looked at him contemptuously, "Does what you say on the wine table count? My director pays him back? 3000 million for 3D, your head was caught by the door, I'll think about adding a zero after that." He buried his head in the computer again, and after a few seconds, he turned his head, "Are you kicking me? I thought you were going to hook up with the starlet sitting next to me. Because of the lack of natural conditions, it turned out to be enough for me. It's-"

"Fuck you!"

Compared with the difficult production of the first film, Lu Ne's second film seems to be much smoother-this is an illusion.

First of all, the first big problem is money. 3000 million, more than three times the 800 million of the first movie, no matter what, it is enough for Lu Ne, no! "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting" is a modern drama, and there is almost no need to set up a stage. Most of the scenes are borrowed by Lu Ne and his friends of the same teaching and high-ranking. This saves most of the money. No matter what, this is a costume drama, and many scenes must be burned with money.

The second question is actors. "Chengmei Film and Television" is an old-fashioned entertainment company, but it has been developing in TV dramas and singing before. In recent years, the movie market is booming. After a lukewarm movie, he found Lu Ne.The heroine is a little girl that "Chengmei" is determined to support. She has acted in several idol dramas and is relatively well-known. However, in Lu Ne's opinion, such a person is even more difficult to train. Bai also doesn't have the level of an old actor. If he plays too many stereotyped idol dramas, people will become oily in front of the camera and lose their sense of strength.

Speaking of which, many people don't believe that what attracted Lu Ne back then was neither the remuneration offered by Chengmei nor the higher investment than other film producers, but the original novel that Zhang Chi defined as vulgar and third-rate.Many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that the better the original work, the better it will be adapted into a movie. In fact, it is not the case. For example, Zhang Ailing, you may not like it, but you can’t pick out the shortcomings in her writing. Here is a copy of "The Golden Lock" for you. You have no way to start holding it in your hand. Follow her words, and you will definitely die properly. Images and words are two different things.On the contrary, second- and third-rate novels have more room for adaptation and expansion.

Lu Na flipped through the original novel, then discarded the script that "Chengmei" had already done. It took a week to re-polish it, and it was finally released. Except for the names of the hero and heroine, it basically has nothing to do with the original novel.

The film that was originally scheduled to start in April was delayed until mid-May because of Lu Ne's constant pursuit of perfection.

Zhang Yinyin, the leading actress of "Chengmei", showed up only a week after the machine was turned on. She was wearing a light purple Dior dress, a white Chanel coat, and sunglasses. A little assistant behind her held a sun umbrella for her, and another assistant Carrying the bag, followed by an exclusive makeup artist.At that time, just after a scene was filmed, Zhang Yinyin's assistant shared sweet soup for everyone, and there was a burst of gratitude on the set, "Sister Yinyin is beautiful and kind, no wonder she is popular." "Yes Sister Yinyin's place is the happiest."...

With a smile on her face, Zhang Yinyin looked elegant and humble, she walked up to Lu Ne herself, and said, "Director Lu, I'm here."

Lu Ne was sitting behind the camera watching the scene just shot, and looked up at her, "Well, go to make up when you come, your scene will be coming soon." His tone was light, and his eyes were still fixed on her when he spoke. As for the camera, it seems that they don't even know how popular the person in front of them is.

Zhang Yinyin was making fun of herself, the smile on her face couldn't hold back, she stepped on her high heels and clicked into the dressing room, the assistant director Zhang Chi waited for Zhang Yinyin's figure to disappear, then dragged a bench and sat next to Lu Na, Kindly reminded, "I heard that Zhang Yinyin is very arrogant, 'Chengmei' is praising him, and the investor seems to like her, anyway, she is very popular."

Lu Na didn't say anything.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yinyin finally finished her makeup and changed into costumes. After receiving countless compliments along the way, she walked up to Lu Ne with a smile and asked, "Director Lu, what do you think?"

This time, Lu Ne looked up and down carefully, but frowned, and asked lightly, "Who put the makeup on?"

A little girl with short hair stood up cautiously, "It's me."

Zhang Yinyin explained, "Director Lu, this is my makeup artist. I used to be her makeup artist when I was filming. I am not used to other people."

Lu Ne was silent for a while, without looking at Zhang Yinyin, he directly said to the little girl, "Do you know what she is going to do?"

The little girl opened her mouth and stammered to answer, "Filming...filming——"

Lu Ne's face immediately turned down, "You also know about filming, I thought she was going to be on the Avenue of Stars." After thinking about it, she felt that she might have said too much, and explained, "The heroine she plays is an infatuated girl who has been betrayed. , have you ever seen a lovelorn whose face is as radiant as if she just had photorejuvenation?"

The little girl blushed, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'll regenerate right away."

Zhang Yinyin's lips were stretched into a straight line, she didn't speak, and the smile on her face completely disappeared.

Lu Ne's premonition really came true, Zhang Yinyin became the most uncertain factor in this drama, the whole afternoon, he took one shot and used up [-] feet of film, Lu Ne didn't care about Zhang Yinyin's ugly face, just repeated it over and over again Start again, grind it over and over again, wear off her acting skills in idol dramas, grind her so that she has no energy to act, present a rough and real state, grind her whole body to exude a heroine Bai Xiaozhuo's ghostly spirit, his obsessive and resentful spirit finally shouted OK.

As soon as the filming of the filming was over, Zhang Yinyin's face was downcast. She didn't say hello to anyone. She took the mobile phone handed over by her assistant and started making calls. At that time, the crew and actors hadn't left yet. Discussing the next shooting issue with the photographer behind the camera, I heard Zhang Yinyin's angry voice talking on the phone from the room——

"...Where did you find the idiot director? Will he make a movie and make me look like a menopausal aunt? Does anyone still watch this movie? Also, the scene of walking and knocking on the door repeats over and over again I re-shot it dozens of times, is he sick..."

The entire set fell silent, and everyone on the set stared at Director Lu out of the corner of their eyes in shock.What broke the silence was Lu Ne's cell phone ringtone.Lu Na picked up the phone as if nothing happened, it was Luo San who called, and talked a lot of things, and finally mentioned it as if casually, "Hey, you went to see Yang'er No?"

Lu Ne's heart skipped a beat. Lu Ne really hadn't seen him since the day they parted from his house.One is that he is busy with work. Since accepting this film, Lu Ne has to change the script while running around the venue. He has traveled all over the country, large and small film and television bases, and communicates with actors, photographers, and artists. He is very busy. Chaotian, going to the toilet, listening to the phone with the left ear and listening to the sound of himself urinating with the right ear; second, he also deliberately avoided Su Er's intentions. In his two lifetimes, Lu Ne had never been so embarrassed. Now that I think about it, I feel that I must have dizzy.Su Er did make a call, but before he said a few words, someone from Lu Ne's side urged him, so Lu Ne took the opportunity to hang up.Later when he called again, Lu Ne was already out of town.

"What's up with him?"

Luo San sighed quietly, and said, "He's hospitalized."

Lu Ne wanted to ask again, but Luo San didn't give him a chance, he said "go and see him when you have time", gave him the address, and hung up the phone.Lu Ne stared at the blacked-out phone screen for a long time. Luo San's words were so vague that his heart went up and down, and he suddenly thought of Su Er's bad heart— —

In all fairness, apart from possessing all the characteristics of a dandy, Su Er has not committed any heinous crimes for the time being, and his shortcomings are also normal despite his background.If he didn't have that kind of thought about himself, Lu Na might be able to play with him too.

When returning from work, Lu Ne was thinking about Luo San's words while driving the car. Obviously, his call was specifically to tell him about this matter.Lu Ne hesitated for a long time, the car drove to the downstairs of his rental house, and then turned back.

It was a very luxurious and secret private hospital, with mountains, water, flowers and grass, I didn't know it, I thought it was a holiday resort.The nurses in the hospital had sweet smiles and thoughtful service. Angels in white clothes led Lu Ne up to the [-]th floor of the inpatient department. The long corridors were illuminated by dim wall lamps on both sides, and there was no sound.

Lu Ne stood in ward 1608 for a few seconds. It was quiet and there was no movement at all. Lu Ne was actually quite afraid of seeing people with tubes all over his body like in TV dramas. He hesitated for a while, raised his hand and knocked on the door , still nothing.

Lu Ne twisted the doorknob, and the door opened.Inside is a suite, which is comparable to a five-star hotel. The carpet under your feet is soft and soft, as if you are stepping on clouds. When you go in, you can see Su Er lying on the hospital bed with his legs crossed, playing with his iPad. When he sees Lu Ne, he immediately smiles , very happy, and beckoned Lu Ne to come over, "Hey, come here, I'll show you a very funny post."

Lu Na looked up and down at Su Er's rosy complexion, even though he was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, he still looked like a tree facing the wind, and asked a little suspiciously, "Why are you hospitalized?"

"Actually, it's nothing serious. It's an old problem."

Lu Ne could hear the disappointment and reluctance in his tone, and the guess in his heart had been answered.Su Er was alone in the entire ward, and there were a few fruit baskets here and there, which looked like a luxurious sarcophagus. Lu Ne felt a little uncomfortable, "Why are you alone?"

"Oh, Li Mingyi and the others just left."

"What about your family, no one is with you?" After all, hospitalization is a big deal. If Lu Ne were to be hospitalized, his old lady would have to grow her feet in the hospital.

Su Er lowered his head and continued to play with the iPad, and said nonchalantly, "They're all dead. If there's nothing else to do, don't dig the old people out to dry. How bad it is."

Lu Ne's heart skipped a beat. For Su Er, he only saw his glamorous family background and his lofty attitude, and never thought of getting to know him in depth, so at this moment, Lu Ne softened his heart, "What about your brother? He didn't come to see you either?"

Su Er raised his head from the iPad and glanced at Lu Ne, "You mean Su Que? His assistant told me last night that he was preparing to board the plane. He must be in Zurich now." After he finished speaking, he carefully Looking carefully at Lu Ne's expression, he suddenly smiled brightly, jumped up from the bed, grabbed Lu Ne's shoulders, and hugged him upright, "Do you feel sorry for me now?" He said, The whole face is full of bright smiles, beautiful and eye-catching, and the black diamond-like eyes are shining brightly.
