Chapter 664: Xiao Era

Miss Luo Quan always felt that people find it hard to grow without suffering losses.

Her brother had been too smooth all the way, and suffering a little loss appropriately was not a bad thing for him.

So even though she knew that "Xiao Era" was likely a bad movie that would be written into Chinese film history, she still intended to let her brother earn this money.

On one hand, his company needed performance, and the price given by Director Ming was indeed sincere enough.

On the other hand, it was not a new thing for a movie king to make a bad movie. As long as he seriously showed his acting skills in the movie, the script and others being bad had nothing to do with him.

So Miss Luo Quan didn't express too many opinions on this matter.

And after Director Ming successfully took down Lyon, he didn't delay time and immediately bought a hot search to promote it vigorously.

As a top-selling novel in the middle school era of the 90s, "Xiao Era" was loved by many people, especially girls, and had quite a lot of fans.

Now after so many years, it finally ushered in film and television adaptation, and the cast was outrageously strong.

Besides Lyon, there was also the top-tier Liang Mi and a group of handsome men and beauties from her company.

After the cast list came out, some fans called it the Chinese movie with the highest looks in the past ten years.

Liang Mi could also be considered one of the female stars with the most traffic in China. As a child star, she had acted in many classic TV series.

Although she was not the protagonist, because of her sweet and cute appearance, she left a very deep impression on the audience.

Later, she became popular all over China with a time-travel Qing palace drama and officially entered the ranks of first-line female stars.

However, unlike other female stars who focused on acting, Liang Mi even felt that if you only knew how to act, you could only be an actor at the mercy of others for the rest of your life.

Having been struggling in the entertainment industry since she was a child, she knew very well how much filth and helplessness there was in this calculation.

And if she wanted to get rid of these, she could only become capital.

So she established her own agency, Jiaxing, and became the boss herself.

At the same time, relying on her own traffic, she took a few newcomers from the company to brush their faces when appearing in TV series.

Like the current number two traffic bearer of Jiaxing company, Di Liang, became popular this way.

Speaking of which, Di Liang's popularity was even hotter than her boss Liang Mi two years ago. Resources were constant, and she even went on "Running Man" to replace Baby's position.

However, because she won an award she shouldn't have won, she got an ugly nickname, and her passerby popularity was also ruined.

Plus the movies and TV series she filmed all flopped, and there had been no sound in recent years.

Actually, the artists of Jiaxing were all like this. Originally, their conditions were quite good, and their image and acting skills were above the average line. If they carefully selected scripts and carefully pondered roles, they could film good dramas.

But because the boss wanted to make it big and strong, she signed a gambling agreement with others, and there were very high revenue indicators to be completed every year.

So all the artists in the company were hungry and didn't choose food, taking all jobs.

Besides conventional bad movies and bad dramas, many game advertisements that looked very low could be filmed.

If it were like "Tanwan Lan Yue", it would be fine, at least it had some popularity. After all, Brother Long, Gu Zai, and Zha Hui also filmed it.

The key was that the games they filmed were not as good as "Tanwan Lan Yue", and at first glance, one would think it was a game on the same interface as "Sexy Dealer Online Dealing Cards".

Also because of this, the reputation of Jiaxing people in the circle was not particularly good.

On one hand, they were laughed at for being low, and on the other hand, it was also because they took too many plays at the same time, which easily caused the situation of crashing plays, making people doubt whether they could act well.

Of course, the environment of the entertainment industry is to laugh at poverty but not at prostitution.

Not afraid of you loving money like life, just afraid of you being an 18th-line transparent and still pretending to be noble.

At least these artists of Jiaxing now had many fans, high traffic, and the money they earned was also really a lot.

Didn't they take another big job, the boss led the whole family to appear in "Xiao Era", all high looks, appearance party ecstasy.

And Lyon and Liang Mi also had cp scenes. By then, arranging ten or twenty hot searches would be sorry for his identity as a new Oscar movie king and the world's most handsome man.

It is foreseeable that Lyon will be bound with Liang Mi on Weibo for a period of time in the future for marketing.

Luo Si's fans in the country currently have quite a few complaints; as veterans of the fan circle, they know the other side's style very well, which is just hyping up CP and mooching off popularity in every way.

In terms of acting skills and background, Liang Mi is not the first tier in the circle. Being able to reach this point today relies on knowing how to hype.

So Lyon's fans are very worried that their baby will suffer a big loss.

Yes, baby.

Don't look at Lyon's debut for a long time, but he is actually just twenty-one years old. He belongs to the tender little milk dog in the entertainment industry, so there are quite a lot of sister fans and mother fans.

Usually, they also use mushy words like baby to address him.

After Lyon and Mia announced their relationship, many fans at home and abroad unfollowed.

And those who could stay, besides true love, were basically sister fans and mother fans.

It doesn't matter if he falls in love. After all, who doesn't like a heaven-favored girl like Mia who has no scandals.

By comparison, they are more concerned about Lyon's career development and the handsome photos he posts every day.

Filming "Xiao Era" doesn't look like a particularly good choice, but since he took it, they can only support it.

But this cp Liang Mi, to be honest, Lyon's fans really don't want it.

Isn't it fragrant to form a Phoenix Legend cp with his own sister? Really don't want to see a third party intervene.

This is the inner portrayal of many fans now.

Of course, capital doesn't care about this.

They only know movie king Lyon, famous IP adaptation, top-tier Liang Mi starring.

Each is a traffic password, can the three combined not make money?

So various investment and product placement invitations were immediately sent to Director Ming's door.

As the saying goes, wool comes from the sheep. Don't look at Director Ming giving Lyon such a high salary.

But as soon as the news was announced, it was earned back in minutes.

So many people say Director Ming looks like a writer, but actually more like a businessman.

In short, all aspects were settled, and the start-up time was in half a month. Lyon also got the script in the evening and started writing a small biography for the role.

This is his habit all along. No matter what role he plays, he must first write a small biography for his role, followed by roles with rival scenes.

The content of the small biography includes the role's family growth environment, personality, and education, so that he can know what the role usually talks like and how the play should be acted.

It is precisely because of such seriousness that he can have such achievements at a young age.

Wanting to win an Oscar movie king, relying on his face is completely unworkable. Without some dry goods, how could those academy judges who extremely hate handsome guys award the prize to himself, the handsome guy leader?

Although "Xiao Era" is a commercial film, Lyon is treated equally and also needs to be analyzed seriously.

But after reading the script for half an hour, he was confused.

He raised his head and scratched his head blankly, and then looked blankly at his sister who was writing the script next to him.

"Sister, is the original novel of this movie very popular in China?" Lyon remembered the hot search he saw when brushing Weibo. It is said that the book "Xiao Era" is quite a best-seller.

Miss Luo Quan took her hands off the keyboard and replied: "That is quite popular, one of the must-read extracurricular readings for middle school girls in the 10s. Half of the people in a class might have read it, and even regarded the content in the book as a standard."

"However, it hasn't had such a big influence in recent years."

"It shouldn't be. I thought such a best-selling book would be like 'The Great Gatsby' or 'A Song of Ice and Fire'."

Lyon scratched his head again. If his hair wasn't strong enough, he would probably have pulled out a lot of hair in his hand.

Facing his brother's doubts, Miss Luo Quan smiled and said: "Where can young people in China calm down to watch these now? Either it's web novels or games."

"By the way, why are you asking these? Is there any problem with the script?"

"How should I say this script, the story and everything are okay, there are highlights, it's just that the core of the story is a bit crooked, and the people inside are too money-worshipping."

"But money-worshipping is nothing, after all, New York is even more money-worshipping than this."

"But why is this way of money-worshipping so unimaginative?"

"What do you mean, you think this book is not enough in terms of showing off wealth?" Miss Luo Quan rolled her eyes directly when she heard her brother's words: "It's not that I'm saying, Comrade Lyon, your awareness needs to be improved."

Lyon smiled helplessly: "But the purpose of this movie is to show off wealth with the paper-drunk and gold-obsessed upper-class life. On this basic framework, money-worshipping roles can also complete logical self-consistency."

"It's just that the content of showing off wealth in the script is completely wrong."

"Anyway, Shanghai is also one of the top two financial centers in Asia, a world-famous developed city. A wealthy lady who can be called a rich family usually just sits in a BMW?"

"And the second female lead Gu Li's father is also a big tycoon, and then her enviable wardrobe only has a mere few dozen clothes, and they are all styles."

"What about haute couture? What about limited editions?"

"In addition, the biggest problem, the company Gu Li's father operates is a listed company worth 500 million. I don't understand the rules of A-shares. Can assets of 500 million also be listed?"

Facing his brother's series of soul-searching questions, Miss Luo Quan was silent for a while, and then said:

"This is a book written by Director Ming several years ago. At that time, he had just become famous, and his savings did not exceed ten million. Probably five hundred million was already quite huge for him, and BMW cars were also luxury cars in his cognition. After all, BMWs also range from hundreds of thousands to millions."

"So that's it." Lyon suddenly realized, "Then I have to discuss with Director Ming and correct the mistakes he made in numbers."

Miss Luo Quan was stunned, looking at Lyon and asking: "You think the mistake is the number, shouldn't it be that this money-worshipping value is wrong?"

Lyon blinked, and then smiled and said: "Sister, I grew up in New York and London. What I see most is money-worshipping."

"I had a classmate who did an experiment. He drove his cousin's supercar and stopped on the street. In just half an hour, forty-six hot girls came to chat, thirty left their contact information, and twelve even took the initiative to sit in the car."

"In New York, you can have nothing, such as morality, shame, kindness, but you must not have no money, otherwise you won't survive a day."

"In my opinion, money-worshipping is a way for many people to survive."

"Of course, this is what I saw in New York. Is Shanghai in China, as an oriental city, different from the West?"

This question stumped Miss Luo Quan, and then made her laugh.

Wen Xia and Lin Ruoli, who had been silent on the sofa next to them, also laughed.

"Essentially, there is no difference."

Miss Luo Quan deliberated for a while, but finally didn't say the sentence "even worse":

"It can only be said that there must be many people who love money, but in China, loving money is not a glorious thing. We take viewing money as dung as an honor, but in reality, if you don't have money, you can't afford a house and can't find a wife."

"Then that's it." Lyon spread his hands and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, money-worshipping is not an unforgivable value. After all, money is the pursuit of the vast majority of people."

After Lyon finished speaking, he became more at ease, and then called Director Ming to discuss how to modify the script.

And Miss Luo Quan also thought about some things.

That is, there is a really big gap between some concepts in China and foreign concepts.

Of course, she doesn't need to manage the value orientation, and it's not something a movie can guide.

By comparison, the content on Douyin and Weibo is the real guiding weapon.

However, saying one thousand and ten thousand, her worry about these is really "dog taking mouse, meddling in other people's business."

After some discussion, Director Ming accepted Lyon's suggestion and changed these low-level mistakes in the script.

Since he wants to show off wealth, then show it off fiercely.

Anyway, it is destined to be scolded for money-worshipping, why not worship it in a high-end, atmospheric, and classy way?

So when Director Ming accepted the suggestion, he also asked Lyon, the real noble and rich young master, what the upper class is like.

Lyon thought of the few buddies in his high school who had parties with girls every day, and felt that it seemed necessary to change a statement:

"If it's according to the settings in the script, the grade of the jewelry needs to be improved. Of course, I can prepare it myself, but for others, just look at the Oscar ceremony to know how to match it."

"OK, I'll go to cram school now!" Director Ming sincerely accepted this suggestion.

After the call, Lyon sat beside Miss Luo Quan, his smile very flattering: "Hehehe sister, I have something to discuss with you, I don't know..."

"Discuss what?" Miss Luo Quan knew it wasn't a good thing when she saw his appearance.

"Can you lend me your Lamborghini Veneno to drive for two days, and make a cameo in the movie."

"You really think it's for showing off wealth!" Miss Luo Quan wanted to give his butt a kick.

Lyon smiled with his face: "Anyway, you are afraid of it gathering dust in the garage, and you can't drive it a few times a year, so it's better to let me use it. Don't worry, I guarantee I won't break it for you."

"If you scratch a bit of paint, I'll peel your skin." Miss Luo Quan threatened in a very fierce tone.

Saying this means she intends to lend it to Lyon.

Young people are playful, and it's understandable to want to drive a luxury car to show off wealth.

Anyway, that car hasn't been on the road much since it arrived in China, so take this opportunity to gallop on the highway, so as not to let the engine rust.

After getting her sister's consent, Lyon also immediately called for a designated driver, preparing to let the designated driver drive this car to Hengdian. ===== CHAPTER 665 =====
