Chapter 264: Liu Liu Qiangdong who doesn't know his wife is beautiful, Boss Lu who is slightly inferior

Chen Chen Luyu continued to the next topic: "Okay, let's go back to today's theme, the currently popular 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'."

"Here is also an advertisement for Director Lu and the crew, haha; welcome everyone to the cinema to support this Berlin Jin Xiong Award work."

She started the smooth oral broadcast.

"At the same time, everyone who calls the number on the screen or edits their post-viewing feelings and sends them to the program's official blog has a chance to win a set of Li Ming and Zhang Zhang Manyu figures!"

"This activity is carried out simultaneously on Blog. com and Douban!"

Chen Chen Luyu turned to Zhang Zhang Manyu: "Hello, Sister Zhang Manyu."

"Hello Chen Luyu, see you again."

"A Date with Chen Luyu" was a program on Phoenix TV before, and she was no stranger to it.

Chen Chen Luyu was surprised: "Sister Zhang Manyu, I feel that your Mandarin is much more standard this time."

"Yes, the first thing Director Lu did after taking this movie was to find me a Mandarin teacher."

The Cannes Best Actress held her forehead: "It's really hard to tame my tongue, but fortunately, I finally met the director's standard."

Chen Chen Luyu's question was sharp: "Will Director Lu worry that she won't cooperate when making such a request to an actress who has just won the Cannes Best Actress?"

"Or, we see that the accents of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists in many movie clips are not very standard, and it seems that it doesn't have much impact on the movie? After all, it can be dubbed later."

Boss Lu shook his head: "Two questions."

"First, this movie is recorded on the spot, and there will be no dubbing unless there are special circumstances."

"Second, it is the basic professional quality for actors to master the language characteristics of their lines according to the plot needs."

"I met Robert De Niro at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and everyone must be familiar with him."

"In order to film, he proficiently mastered English accents, Irish accents, and even Northumberland accents; young actors should learn this kind of professionalism."

Liu Liu Yifei was curious: "Where is the Northumberland accent?"

"The countryside in the northeast of England."

Boss Lu smiled: "You can understand it as, in order to speak Chinese well and film a movie, a Southeast Asian Chinese specifically ran to the hometown of Teacher Zhao Benshan, the big city of Tieling, to learn Northeast dialect."

He looked at Zhang Zhang Manyu, who was separated by two people: "Sister Zhang Manyu is very professional; I made a request, and she completed the task 100%; I am very happy to be able to cooperate with such an actor."

The audience applauded, and Zhang Zhang Manyu's fans held up cheering atmosphere cards high; fans of Boss Lu and Zhang Zhang Manyu were very happy.

People with value and status affirming each other and making achievements together will provide a sense of refreshment to their admirers.

Chen Chen Luyu brought the topic to Zhou Xun: "What about Zhou Xun?"

"We all know that you and Director Lu have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship; the atmosphere between you in work..."

Xun Ge'er used a duck-like voice: "Very bad! His temper is very bad when working!"

The audience laughed and applauded, liking this kind of harmless little straightforwardness in the live broadcast.

Boss Lu pretended to be angry: "Xun Ge'er, think about it before you speak; I'm planning to find you to film next year."

"

Lu Kuan explained: "Zhou Xun has a great personality, generous and straightforward. We get along just like buddies, and that's how it came to be."

"What about Liu Yifei? Among these three 'Lu Girls,' you are the youngest, but you've already collaborated two or three times."

"Care to talk about your opinion of Director Lu?"

Little Liu pursed her lips and smiled: "I agree with Sister Zhou Xun's opinion. Lu Kuan... Director Lu is almost two different people in his work and his personal life."

Chen Chen Luyu was curious, and the audience on-site and in front of their screens were even more curious.

This is the joy of talk shows and celebrity fandom—being able to deeply explore the multifaceted nature of an idol.

Liu Liu Yifei wasn't paying attention and let it slip, frowning in a bit of a bind.

In his personal life?

Once she thought of his flaws, Liu Liu Yifei found that her vocabulary of idioms exploded, allowing her to invent them on the spot if she had to.

Lustful and dissolute, a habitual liar, shameless, calculating...

Is this something that can be said?

"Director Lu is very self-disciplined in his personal life. Sometimes we have an appointment to discuss the script, and I arrive at the location at 8 o'clock, and he happens to be returning from exercising outside."

"It's just very early, you know, I don't even know when he went out."

Listening to Little Liu's sarcasm, Boss Lu, who had actor-level facial control, smiled and glanced at her.

"Not at all, not at all, I don't actually exercise that much in the morning."

It's all night-time exercise; the main items are waist and abdominal strength and the sphincter.

"Also, Director Lu's lifestyle is relatively simple. Usually, if there are no special circumstances, he eats at home; he is very diligent and thrifty."

Mm, diligent and thrifty—he hires a state banquet chef at home and always stays in top-tier luxury hotels when he goes out.

Zhou Xun knew the inside story and wanted to laugh while listening from the side, but due to her professional acting training, she perfectly controlled her expression.

Chen Chen Luyu was confused, feeling that today's interview was going off-track, and brought the topic back.

"Then what about at work? You and Director Lu have collaborated on the big screen twice now; how does it feel?"

Speaking of this topic, Liu Liu Yifei became a bit serious: "Strict, very strict."

"When I was filming 'The Drummer,' I was still a complete novice. If my scenes had followed the normal schedule, they could have been finished in a week, but they were dragged out for a whole month."

"The director's requirements were almost precise to every frame, precise to the next second your tears should fall, and the next second you should swallow your saliva to make your throat move—such details were captured."

Chen Chen Luyu exclaimed: "Wow, so this is what the set of a Golden Lion and Jin Xiong award-winning director is like."

"My mother was with me the whole time back then, and she would count every day how many times I was scolded to tears. The most in one day... I think I cried five times in one day."

The whole audience burst into laughter and applause, and the fans of Sister Xixi in front of their TVs were furious, preparing to log onto their blogs for a crusade.

Chen Chen Luyu cued Liu Liu Xiaoli in the audience: "Mother Liu, did you feel sorry for your daughter at the time?"

Liu Liu Xiaoli took the microphone, her beautiful face appearing in the middle of the screen, and the audience in front of the screens seemed even more excited.

"I did, but I have a principle: I never interfere when she is working. I can comfort her or something after the scene is over."

Long Li Danni watched the audience's curiosity about Liu Liu Xiaoli's reaction and prompted Chen Chen Luyu to continue the topic.

Chen Chen Luyu received a prompt from the backstage in her earpiece, telling her to focus more on Liu Liu Yifei and Liu Liu Xiaoli, and quickly threw out a side branch: "Mother Liu is so young."

"Haha, yes, when we are out, many people say she is my older sister."

"Actually, in our family, I am the ugliest one."

Chen Chen Luyu had been holding it in for ten minutes and finally found a suitable opportunity: "Really? I don't believe it!"

"Director Lu, what do you think?"

Boss Lu was stunned; after ten minutes, it had reached medium difficulty?

What the hell am I supposed to answer to this question?

"It's true." Boss Lu added a finishing blow, annoying Liu Liu Yifei once a day.

"Auntie Liu brought their family photo to the set, and Little Liu is indeed... a bit inferior."

Zhang Zhang Manyu smiled and interjected: "Director Lu, that is very ungentlemanly. I think Sister Xixi is the most beautiful girl of this age I have ever seen."

Zhou Xun seconded.

The atmosphere on-site was great, and no one felt there was anything wrong with it. Talk shows in the domestic entertainment industry during this period were very wild, and there were plenty of guests who would directly say "damn it" in their mouths.

Little Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with it either; this was something she had self-deprecatingly said herself.

But hearing this "a bit inferior" from the mouth of the washing machine, why was it so infuriating!?

The seventeen-year-old girl felt she was about to develop breast nodules from holding it in.

She secretly rolled her eyes and looked at the washing machine beside her with an expressionless face.

"Yeah, I'm really quite tacky when I wear my own clothes, Director Lu always says I'm a village girl."

"Oh right, Sister Fan Bingbing from our 'Zhu Xian' crew has a great sense of fashion. A director with aesthetic vision like Director Lu still appreciates her very much."

Zhou Xun took a deep breath and tried her best to hold it in.

Sitting in the VIP viewing area, watching Liu Liu Yifei get jealous and roast the washing machine, and in front of so many viewers—this is a live broadcast!

As expected of someone who has received professional training, no matter how funny it is, she won't laugh.

Chen Chen Luyu was secretly pleased, knowing that the topic's popularity would come from this little girl.

I thought you were all spokespersons for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, each one of you watertight!

Long Li Danni backstage also had a strange expression, thinking to herself that this Liu Liu Yifei is really not like other celebrities; she calls herself tacky and doesn't wait until the next day to take revenge.

The show's effect came from Boss Lu, and Long Li Danni knew he wouldn't be angry.

Someone who can smile when called a washing machine to his face still has a lot of self-entertainment and entertainment spirit.

Liu Liu Xiaoli and Yang Yang Siwei looked at each other, both wanting to stroke their foreheads and sigh...

The child is grown up and hard to manage.

Liu Liu Yifei didn't think there was any big problem, or that it would cause any speculation from the audience.

Speak your mind, and once you're done and feel good, that's it!

Let go of personal quality, refuse mental internal friction, go crazy when there's something up, and enjoy a wicked life.

At worst, people will see that she likes the washing machine; she doesn't care what others think.

Even...

She remembered what Liu Liu Xiaoli taught her: If the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth.

Otherwise, when she reaches her eighteenth birthday, should she just confront the washing machine and force him to state his position?

The interview went slightly off-track because of some "personal grievances," but the gossip-loving masses were satisfied.

The relationship between the genius young director and the popular young star...

Seems a bit subtle, doesn't it?

Comments under Zhuo Wei's column account on the blog site surged, all urging him to dig into Boss Lu's private life and his relationship with Liu Liu Yifei.

In the entertainment industry, if you're going to hang out, you have to have the self-awareness of being consumed and entertained by the public.

In this regard, Lu Kuan and Liu Liu Yifei are obviously qualified and in sync; neither of them pays too much attention to their reputation and persona, and they have a bit of a passive self-blackening attitude.

For example, Little Liu later admitted that she was a female loser and that the "Fairy Sister" title was just a result of too many press releases...

Of course, malicious cyberbullying like that of Song Song Zude is excluded.

It's just that Liu Liu Yifei doesn't know about Lu Kuan's arrangements for Fan Fan Bingbing, and her jealous words just now might have unintentionally alerted the enemy.

The professional poker-faced comedian Zhou Xun held it in, and the professional host Chen Chen Luyu saw the show's effect and decided to continue pressing, consuming Boss Lu a bit.

Anyway, it's your own TV station, and the theme of today's show is you. If you don't sacrifice, who will?

"Director Lu, you are 23 years old this year, right? A junior at the Beijing Film Academy."

Boss Lu glanced at the expressionless Little Liu, and based on his understanding of her, she should be sick to death by now!

If it weren't for the live broadcast, she might have already elbowed him just now.

"That's right."

Chen Chen Luyu smiled: "But I always have a feeling, that is, when you sit here, or usually appear in the media, you are always..."

"Always feel that your age is far beyond this number. Of course, I don't mean your appearance, your appearance is still very handsome."

"How should I put it, it just makes people feel that you are very mature, a maturity that doesn't match your age. I don't know if the three ladies have ever had this feeling?"

Zhang Zhang Manyu smiled: "To be honest, I feel he is very similar to my ex-husband; once he starts filming, he's like a madman."

"I don't know much about his personal life, but I do have this feeling."

Zhou Xun thought to herself, so you all think so.

"In the winter of 2001, I first met Lu Kuan on the set of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' in Wuxi. Except for the first time, I still thought of him as a young man who had just entered the industry."

"From the second time on, I have always treated him as a peer. Really, it's very magical."

"What about Liu Yifei?"

Little Liu of course also has this feeling.

During the live broadcast of the Berlin Film Festival, she also liked the bullet comment that said, "Lu Kuan looks more compatible with the 39-year-old Zhang Zhang Manyu."

"Yes, I don't feel he is only five years older than me."

"But it might also be a problem with our way of getting along. On the set, he is a strict teacher, which left me with a stereotypical impression."

Lu Kuan adjusted his headset: "This actually has to do with my life experience."

"I grew up on a mountain since I was a child. Maoshan is the same as Zhongnanshan; there are many people living in seclusion."

"Sometimes I learned a lot from these hermits who have seen through the red dust and achieved great enlightenment, hehe."

Since Boss Lu became famous, it's not that no one has dug into his past experiences, but apart from knowing he was a Daoist priest before, they gained nothing.

The master of the original body had long since passed away, and only one Zhuang Xu could be considered a relative.

Anyway, let him make it up as he pleases now; no one knows if it's true or false.

"So that's how it is."

Chen Chen Luyu looked around at the three actresses again: "Director Lu, just now the three ladies evaluated you, now you also give them an evaluation."

"In what aspect?"

"You are a director well-known in the industry for being good at training actors and helping young actors grow, so just evaluate..."

"Acting skills, okay? We want to hear the truth, don't be afraid of offending people."

Chen Chen Luyu turned to the audience, and the knowing audience immediately booed and cheered.

Including the fans of the show in front of the TV screen, everyone watches Chen Luyu for her straightforwardness, especially when she puts guests in a spot.

This question is actually not difficult for Boss Lu; just praise Zhang Zhang Manyu and Zhou Xun, and Little Liu has always been indifferent to being told her acting is not good.

"Sister Zhang Manyu's acting skills don't need much to be said; her performance is delicate and rich in layers, and her ability to shape characters is very strong."

"The most rare thing is that she can master a variety of performance styles; she can handle comedies, tragedies, art films, and action films. She is very excellent."

The audience applauded, and Zhang Zhang Manyu also walked over to hug him in a very show-effective way.

"Thanks to 'Chen Luyu Has a Date,' Director Lu rarely praises people like this."

Liu Liu Yifei: Agree! He scolds people every day when filming!

Chen Chen Luyu didn't intend to let him off so easily: "Then how about compared to Gong Li? These two are both excellent Chinese actresses who have won Best Actress awards at international film festivals."

The audience's applause was even louder.

Boss Lu pondered for two seconds: "Gong Li is the quiet and magnificent sunrise over the sea, Zhang Zhang Manyu is the graceful and quiet moonlight over Xiangjiang; their styles are different."

Chen Luyu pursued: "Director Lu is a bit slippery. What are the respective strengths and weaknesses of these two?"

Of course, this little trap couldn't stump Boss Lu: "Gong Li's acting is thick and profound, a classic masterpiece; in this point, she is stronger than Sister Zhang Manyu."

Immediately, he changed the subject: "But Sister Zhang Manyu wins in being free and casual, a wonderful chapter obtained by chance; in this point, she is stronger than Gong Li."

Liu Liu Yifei listened quietly to these compliments, hoping that one day he could evaluate her like this too.

"I can only say that each is good in their own field; they are actors that every director likes."

Zhou Xun smiled at Chen Luyu: "Don't ask anymore, he won't give you the show effect you want."

Everyone applauded and laughed, and the viewership data monitored by Long Li Danni backstage also broke through 7%.

The topic popularity, status, and popularity of the guests in this episode are extremely high. It is not easy for a talk show to maintain such high-level viewership data.

"What about me? Praise me quickly." Zhou Xun took the initiative to ask.

"Sister Xun is an actor who can give directors inspiration. Because of her non-professional background, her performance is like snow and mud, leaving no trace."

"This also has to do with her personal personality; her emotions are rich, and she ignites at a touch. Her nervous type is typically the kind with a very low boiling point, very transparent."

Zhou Xun scolded with a smile: "Are you trying to say I'm mentally ill in a roundabout way?"

The "male star harvester" is the appearance, and the passionate and rich emotions are the inner self. Being willing to love and accept love makes experiential actors like Zhou Xun feel like a fish in water.

The audience all smiled and applauded, very much looking forward to how he would evaluate Liu Liu Yifei, especially the millions of "Fairy" fans in front of the TV.

Calling the washing machine's style dissolute is one thing, but respecting his superhuman professional quality in directorial art is another.

Everyone is looking forward to whether his evaluation of Liu Liu Yifei, whom he has always said has mediocre talent and needs more effort, has changed.

The judgment of a Golden Lion, Jin Xiong, and Oscar Best Foreign Language Film director still has considerable credibility.

Chen Luyu pointed out: "And Liu Yifei, Director Lu and her have been collaborating since 2002, almost before she was 15 years old. You should know her very well by now, right?"

Little Liu was a bit nervous in her heart. She knew that the finished footage of "Bad Genius" filmed every day usually had to be sent to him for review.

She didn't know how Lu Kuan would evaluate her current acting skills.

"Liu Liu Yifei..."

Boss Lu pondered for two seconds: "As far as I am concerned, counting all the top actors at home and abroad, from modern to contemporary times, they basically all possess some qualities."

"Solid acting foundation, high degree of professionalism, rich imagination and creativity, and outstanding personal charm."

"Liu Liu Yifei has persistently practiced morning exercises for nearly three years. Whether in line delivery, muscle control, or facial shaping, it can be said that she possesses a solid foundation in acting."

"In terms of professionalism, among the actors I have collaborated with, even teachers Li Li Xuejian and Feng Feng Yuanzheng highly recognize her in this regard."

"As for outstanding personal charm, I believe her tens of millions of fans on the blog site can explain the problem."

Liu Liu Yifei was already a bit shaken after hearing him finish the first three points; this was the most anticipated affirmation she could foresee.

Because this was affirmation from him.

Lu Kuan paused: "As for imagination and creativity, I think she still needs more life experience to support it."

"Just like us directors, without artistic accumulation and aesthetic accumulation, there is no flash of inspiration obtained by chance."

Chen Chen Luyu felt that he hadn't explained it thoroughly enough and pursued: "Director Lu, we have all heard about you guiding and teaching Liu Yifei acting during the filming of the movie."

"As her half-master, may I ask what your highest expectation for her is, and how far she can go in the future?"

Boss Lu looked at the bright-eyed and white-toothed girl and smiled: "Liu Liu Yifei is a piece of unpolished jade. As of now, she fully possesses the potential to become a world-class actor, but there is still a long way to go. I hope she can get her wish."

The scene was filled with "wow" sounds, and Liu Liu Yifei's fans in front of the screen also felt honored.

Even if this genius director's evaluation was that there is still a long way to go, it can be considered a very high praise.

Liu Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled, recalling the past three-plus years; in fact, she rarely heard Lu Kuan praise her.

In personal life, it's well-intentioned teasing; on the set, it's ruthless blows.

Now, expressing his recognition of her in front of the national audience, the little girl felt extremely comforted and instantly felt full of fighting spirit.

I must win a Best Actress award to prove to the world that your judgment is not wrong!

Zhou Xun, while smiling like an aunt, watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal: "You two master and apprentice should hug each other, encourage Sister Xixi!"

"Okay!"

There was no shortage of audience members standing up to applaud, who were probably just watching the fun. Liu Liu Yifei's fans were all cursing the washing machine as an immoral thief, wanting to hug their Sister Xixi again!

Chen Chen Luyu also smiled and applauded: "Come on, let our Liu Yifei have a gentlemanly hug of encouragement from a world-class director."

In the live broadcast, Little Liu was still relatively reserved. It was a hug of a social etiquette nature, and she leaned back to the audience and whispered a sentence in Boss Lu's ear.

"Don't think that praising me can offset the 'a bit inferior' comment; I've remembered it!"

Hey, she's quite vengeful!

Boss Lu really wanted to sigh, maybe he would also follow in the footsteps of Dongzi.

Just like Liu Liu Qiangdong, who didn't know his wife was beautiful in his previous life, perhaps in the internet era in the near future, Boss Lu "a bit inferior" would also become a famous internet meme.

After a small climax, Chen Chen Luyu seemed to have tasted the sweetness of sensitive topics and continued to attack Boss Lu, who had a great spirit of entertainment.

Her words didn't stop: "Just now our three female guests all mentioned you, having a maturity that transcends age. May I ask in terms of relationships..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a burst of booing from below, and then everyone burst into laughter.

Who hasn't heard of the washing machine's name?

If the Wenjie video were being broadcast live, the amount of bullet comments should have reached its peak by now.

Lu Kuan patiently listened to her interrupted question.

"In terms of relationships, what is your inclination? Like, what kind of girl do you like?"

She turned to the camera and smiled as she spoke: "This is the hottest young director right now, and I'm asking for the female audience in front of the TV."

"After all, you have a huge number of fans across the country and even the world."

Liu Liu Yifei: Inclination in relationships? You'd better ask about his biological habits; that would be more accurate. What kind of relationships does he have?

Boss Lu pondered for two seconds, concentrating on thinking.

Thinking about how to slightly cover up the poor reputation of his washing machine from a legitimate perspective and tone.

"Actually... I am someone who cares more about soul compatibility."

The Berlin Film Festival Best Actor sat there, and the previously scattered playboy aura suddenly converged a lot.

It's just that this opening alone almost made the three actresses sitting beside him roll their eyes at the same time...

"As a literary worker, especially in the directing profession, dealing with literary works and artistic elements for a long time, one will especially need sudden inspiration."

"The soul compatibility I'm talking about is an inclination towards a partner who can communicate artistically at the same level and open the valve of my inspiration."

Chen Chen Luyu heard him speak vaguely and continued to pursue: "This is a bit illusory, a bit too high-brow. Can you explain it to us in depth?"

Little Liu sat on the side with an expressionless face, holding back from turning her head to look at him, fearing she wouldn't be able to resist elbowing him.

"Let's give a few examples!"

"Everyone knows Dante; the creation of his 'Vita Nuova' was based on Beatrice, whom he fell in love with at first sight."

"In 'The Divine Comedy,' Beatrice is even shaped into an important character who guides Dante through heaven; she is a literary image injected with emotion."

"French writer Proust; his 'In Search of Lost Time' was based on some actions and expressions of the maid Céleste."

"And German composer Schumann; his 'Papillons' and 'Carnaval' were all inspired by his wife Clara as a muse, integrating love and appreciation, and then endowing the works with charm."

"And the masters of Impressionism related to us directors, such as Picasso; many of his works, like 'The Weeping Woman,' have the shadow of his soulmate Dora Maar."

Chen Chen Luyu was stunned, and the audience on-site was also stunned.

No, buddy?

With your appearance of concentrating and frowning, with artistic aura radiating, could it be that the washing machine style of the past was just an appearance?

Is a top artist looking for a goddess muse compatible with his soul the truth hidden under your playboy nature?

Zhang Zhang Manyu knew the least about him and was already a bit shaken.

Zhou Xun: Not sure, let's wait and see.

Liu Liu Yifei: Nonsense! You've all been fooled by him!

Boss Lu watched Chen Chen Luyu unable to keep up with the conversation and was secretly proud, when he suddenly heard the little girl beside him speak.

"I also have some feelings about what Director Lu said."

Seeing everyone looking at her, the little girl who had studied Impressionism after the Golden Globes also learned from the Berlin Best Actor and gave examples.

"Director Lu mentioned the Impressionist Picasso, and I thought of the founder and representative of Impressionism, Monet; he also had his own muse."

"He painted 'Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son,' which depicts his married life with his wife Camille."

"'Camille with Violets,' depicts the warmth of Camille's second pregnancy."

"'The Red Kerchief: Portrait of Madame Monet,' Monet spent ten years painting this, and the prototype was still his wife Camille."

Little Liu paused, thinking of the emotion she felt when she saw this story late at night.

"And the last one, 'Camille on Her Deathbed'; in 1879, his wife suffered from pelvic cancer. This was his final work."

"Since then, few figures have appeared in his paintings; even the 'Water Lilies' painted in his later years were the incarnation of his late wife Camille."

The audience was brought into the story of the Impressionist master and his muse by her narration, listening with sighs, and all applauded the artistic literacy of the popular young star.

Little Liu hadn't finished speaking, and in front of the national audience, she gave Boss Lu a difficult problem like the finishing touch.

"Director Lu, I think an artist like Monet, who only loves one woman and only paints one woman in his life, should be purer. What do you think?"

Boss Lu turned his head and smiled, looking at her for two seconds: "Not bad, Little Liu's artistic cultivation is very high; this is also what I wanted to express."

Chen Chen Luyu secretly laughed; today's show effect was really full, worthy of being a "talk show addict"!

"It seems that the artistic cultivation of our two literary workers studying at the Beijing Film Academy is very deep. Thanks to Director Lu and Liu Yifei for clearing up our confusion!"

There was a round of applause from the audience, and the viewership behind the scenes also soared to its peak.

This episode of "Chen Luyu Has a Date" ended quickly.

The audience spent a pleasant hour or so, seeing the hardships and bitterness of the glamorous female stars in front of the camera on the set;

Seeing the violent and eccentric nature of the young director who is usually dashing and unrestrained in front of people when he works;

And seeing the subtle relationship between the popular young star Liu Liu Yifei and a certain washing machine, leading to speculation among gossipers and driving Sister Xixi's fans crazy.

In any case, this episode of "Chen Luyu Has a Date," which just moved to Travel Channel at the beginning of the year, stood firm with a peak instantaneous viewership of 7.8%.

It has the hope of becoming another variety show business card and propaganda machine for Travel Channel.

After finishing the show, Afei drove everyone back to the courtyard.

Boss Lu was reviewing the first draft of "Aftershock" in the study, and Little Liu was sitting on a chair on the side, gnawing on an apple.

She didn't eat dinner because she was afraid of edema on the show. Every time she saw Lu Kuan eating heartily, she felt itchy with hatred; being a female star is really miserable!

"Why haven't you gone home yet? I have to work."

"You work, then. I didn't disturb you."

"Your courtyard is big and nice, ours is a bit inferior."

Boss Lu sneered in his heart, deliberately ignoring her, circling and drawing on the script draft, as if he hadn't heard.

Little Liu wrinkled her nose, looking at his profile with unkind eyes; the washing machine at work was still quite attractive to her.

She picked and chose a book from the bookshelf and sat down opposite Lu Kuan.

Boss Lu looked at his watch: "It's 9 o'clock already. Are you planning to hang out here tonight or what? I can't afford this responsibility."

The little girl also acted as if she hadn't heard, opening the first page of "Dragon Slayer" in her hand, "Analysis of Social Classes."

"Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This question is the primary question of the revolution."

Liu Liu Yifei originally wanted to tease him, deliberately reading it very loudly, but didn't expect that the more she read, the more interesting she found it.

"Read? Why don't you read anymore?"

Lu Kuan didn't look up, only hearing the rustling sound of pages turning opposite him, and glanced at her curiously.

"Hey."

"Huh?"

"Pretending here, can you understand it?"

Liu Liu Yifei looked up ignorantly, her smooth forehead slightly wrinkled: "There are some parts I don't understand."

This really wasn't Boss Lu looking down on her; if you could explain one, two, three, four, five just by looking at "Dragon Slayer," then I'd give you my position as President of Wenjie!

The little girl pointed to a few lines of small print he had marked: "What does this mean here?"

Lu Kuan glanced at it; it was his own note, "Market Segmentation and Target Customer Positioning."

"The analysis of various social classes in the book at that time is the analysis of market user groups by enterprises."

"For example, for your Haidilao hot pot, who are the main target consumer groups? According to the customer group, target different advertising channels and set dishes."

"Formulate marketing strategies and product positioning based on the characteristics and needs of target customers, concentrate resources to meet the needs of target customers, and improve market competitiveness."

"This is just like in the revolution, where you must be clear about who to rely on and who to unite with; enterprises must be clear about who their core customers are and how to meet their needs to achieve their own development."

Liu Liu Yifei listened as if she understood but didn't, feeling that she had some clues, but they were also complicated and tangled in her head, unable to be sorted out.

She continued to flip down, seeing the part in "Dragon Slayer" about uniting allies and distinguishing the boundaries between enemies and friends.

"Then here, 'uniting all forces that can be united,' at different stages of development, not being rigid about the simple distinction between enemy and friend."

"Is this talking about your alliance with Han Han Shanping, Li Li Shoucheng, and Harvey?"

Boss Lu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then you tell me."

"One is the official force of the mainland film system, one is a Hong Kong capital tycoon, and one is the mastermind behind Hollywood."

She began to extend her own analysis and judgment:

"You have a grudge with Nicholas Tse of Emperor, but you used the success of 'The Drummer' to slap Emperor in the face, and then collaborated with them using 'The Thief,' turning enemies into friends."

"You and Han Han Shanping didn't seem happy at the beginning either, otherwise why would 'The Drummer' look for Yu Dong? Later, it should have been lured by profit."

"Harvey, hehe, you are birds of a feather. You let me eavesdrop on his conversation with Tom Cruise at the 'Foreign Land' screening; wasn't that just to target them?"

"Now Harvey is also your Hollywood agent; all enemies seem to have become your friends."

Little Liu's eyes were clear: "People who don't know you would think you can play with anyone, but in fact, you just used interests to bind them, right?"

Boss Lu looked at her speechlessly; are you writing your own dark history here?

"Little Liu, you know too much. One day if you are detrimental to me, I'm afraid I can only silence you."

Liu Liu Yifei didn't buy his cold joke: "Silence me? Hehe, your combat value compared to mine is still a bit inferior, understand? A bit inferior!"

Little Liu used her thumb and index finger to make a gesture that Koreans would feel offended by.

She suddenly spoke: "I'm very curious, if these people, like Han Han Shanping, what if he is no longer in office and is of no use to you, what will you do?"

Little Liu's eyes were burning; what she asked about Han Han Shanping, wasn't she also asking about herself?

Boss Lu avoided the important and took the easy way, pulling out a cigarette and smelling it at the tip of his nose, gesturing to "Dragon Slayer": "You can find the answer in the book."

Liu Liu Yifei suddenly thought of an old friend.

"When you bought into Red Star Dock, you used the banner of teaching me acting, and in the end, you successfully kicked everyone out."

"If Han Han Shanping is of no use to you and a new leader is replaced, then his fate should be about the same as Cheng Cheng Jingfei's, right?"

Lu Kuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Liu Yifei in the study.

She was sitting under a crystal chandelier worth more than 100,000, as if a beam of top light in a movie was hitting her.

Top light in movies has many effects; indifference and alienation are one of them.

For example, certain replicant characters in "Blade Runner 2049," where top light makes their faces appear stiff and cold, showing the distance between characters that cannot be easily crossed.

Although Liu Liu Yifei in front of her still looked as white as jade and pretty, she spoke presumptuous words and looked at herself without any cowardice.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but to Boss Lu opposite, it carried a hint of subtle alienation.

"Why do you care about these things? Just focus on your acting and be your Best Actress."

"Hmph, you are always like this, in Red Star Dock, at the Golden Globes, and now too."

"You use the excuse that I'm still young and lack experience to prevaricate when you don't want me to know the answer."

Little Liu stood up with a smile, her proud expression carrying a pleasure of piercing his hypocritical veil: "I'm taking this book."

"As you said, what you don't tell me, I can find the answer in the book, in your annotations."

Lu Kuan also looked at her with a smile; the aura between the two was a bit subtle, as if the scene in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" was reproduced.

He thought of Liu Liu Yifei accurately capturing his itinerary back to the country, and slightly testing him in front of the hospital bed without getting an answer.

But judging from her performance tonight, she is no longer the little girl who could be manipulated at will.

She is not stupid at all; on the contrary, she is much more agile and clever than many people, but due to her personality, she is always lazy and casual.

But she tries her best in the matter of "transforming" Lu Kuan, and therefore often shows extraordinary quick wit.

The phone in his pocket vibrated; it was Liu Liu Xiaoli, who hated that her daughter wouldn't become a success.

Little Liu saw that it was ten o'clock without knowing it, stuck out her tongue guiltily, and stood up to pick up the trench coat on the chair.

"Hey, aren't you going to see me off?" She looked at the washing machine who sat down again and buried his head in revising the draft, very dissatisfied.

There is really no work in his eyes; he's a president, more like a "total vegetable"!

Boss Lu looked up and glanced at her, helplessly putting the cap on his pen.

"As you wish."

The early spring in Beiping is cold and warm, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the Gongjian Hutong is sparsely populated, with only the faint sound of wild cats.

Under the dim streetlights, the figures of the two stretched out and walked away.

Liu Liu Yifei suddenly asked: "That Dorje, I asked Yang Siwei to contact his family."

"Hmm?"

"I'm planning to sponsor him to go to school until he graduates from university. What do you think?"

Lu Kuan smiled: "Wenjie is planning a charity project for student aid; you can join in."

"Really? That's great, then I'll just pay attention to this Dorje first."

"Why?"

Liu Liu Yifei kicked a pebble under her feet intently: "He saved you."

"Do you know? I went to Master Xia's place yesterday to buy you pear syrup and asked about your situation."

"At that time, you had several CT scans and couldn't see any abnormalities. There were only abrasions on your forehead and brow bone, but I don't know why you couldn't wake up."

Boss Lu was dragged back to that extremely realistic dream by her words, and even a terrifying guess sprouted in his heart.

Could it be that this life is the dream, and the Liu Liu Yifei in front of him, the courtyard, and the great situation he painstakingly managed will all be like rain, fog, thunder, and lightning, a dream bubble?

He suddenly reached out and pressed on Liu Liu Yifei's shoulder.

Little Liu hadn't finished speaking and was startled by his action: "What's wrong?"

Lu Kuan gently pinched her, feeling the vitality of the girl's muscle rebound, and let go with some peace of mind.

"Nothing, your clothes are wrinkled."

"You continue, what did old Xia say?"

Liu Liu Yifei recalled: "He said, you were possessed by a nightmare."

"Said it was because you didn't think through some things yourself, your thoughts were chaotic, so your heart and spirit couldn't be kept at peace."

"Lingshu: Benshen" mentions that "the heart hides the pulse, and the pulse houses the spirit," pointing out that the heart is the place where the spirit is hidden, and human spiritual consciousness and thinking activities are closely related to the "spirit."

When a person overuses their brain for a long time, it will consume the heart and spirit, making the "spirit" unable to be kept at peace, appearing in a state of spiritlessness, which in turn affects the normal functions of the entire human body.

Boss Lu was dumbfounded in his heart; this old Chinese doctor has some skills.

He is indeed unable to keep his heart and spirit at peace; he doesn't even know where he has drifted.

Little Liu suddenly held the arm of the man beside her, looking at him with clear eyes, her expression serious and gentle: "You can tell me if you have anything, don't keep it in your heart."

"I understand a lot now too, maybe I can help you solve your problems."

"Huh? No." Boss Lu denied it flatly.

"Success and fame, everything is going well, what could I possibly have, hehe."

Liu Liu Yifei pursed her lips helplessly, but she didn't expect to pry any truth out of his mouth.

"Okay, I'm going back."

"Hmm, take it slow."

The biting evening wind was cold, Lu Kuan turned up his collar and walked away under Liu Liu Yifei's affectionate gaze.

In her mind, the sad back view with backlight that appeared in her mind during the call that night in Rongcheng emerged.

Under the dim streetlights, the warm color filled his broad back, looking...

Like Lee Ming in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" walking into the soft light of the third act.

What the little girl didn't know was that he had just settled a major event in his heart.
