Global Film Emperor

Chapter 143 Two more show-offs!

He still gets up at 7:30 every day. After leaving Tomorrowland, Lu Ze's mental state is very active. Even someone as self-controlled as Lu Ze feels a little nostalgic for the entertainment facilities inside.

After a busy day of filming, it feels really great to jump into the game and play a game, whether it's exciting or relaxing.

With music playing on his phone, Lu Ze took off his pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a thorough shower. He had gotten a bit tanned recently, or you could call it bronze.

His head was still sporting a short, neat buzz cut. He spat out the toothpaste foam, rinsed his mouth, and picked up a razor to gently shave off the beard that had secretly grown last night.

A small pimple had appeared on her chin, which Lu Ze accidentally scratched open, causing some blood to flow out and a faint stinging sensation.

He doesn't use an electric razor because he feels that a manual shave is cleaner, and he rarely gets pimples; even during his adolescence, his face was smooth.

Perhaps it was a real desire for the award that made Lu Ze a little angry. He grabbed some tissues to wipe his chin, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to the restaurant to eat.

From a distance, Lu Ze saw Wang Zixuan and Liu Ying sitting at a table eating. Lu Ze walked over and pulled out a chair. Wang Zixuan had already prepared his breakfast and a cup of coffee at the perfect temperature.

"Good morning."

Even though his flight was in the afternoon, Liu Ying gave Lu Ze a day off. In the past two months, he had only taken three days off, which was a huge burden for Lu Ze, the other actors, and the staff.

After finishing work last night, Liu Ying was about to adjust the shooting order, but then he thought that since Lu Ze was away for a few days, he should also give the others a break.

Don't let Liu Ying's French Bulldog-like appearance and his volatile temper on set fool you. If you think he's just a loud, uncultured guy, you're mistaken. What director is uneducated?

The others responded to Lu Ze's greeting. Liu Ying took off his reading glasses, folded the Shanghai Morning Post, and put it aside. His breathing was a little heavy. He picked up his soy milk, took a sip, and let out a long sigh.

The group didn't chat much during the meal, since Liu Ying was still sitting there. With his aura and appearance, most people wouldn't dare to even speak, let alone laugh and joke.

After Lu Ze finished eating, he told the others that he was going back to his room to rest. Even Liu Ying offered his blessings, hoping that Lu Ze could achieve good results.

After all, if Lu Ze really wins the Best Actor award, the subsequent publicity will definitely turn it into something like "The Best Actor's New Work," using Lu Ze's new identity as a selling point.

And if he really wins the Best Actor award, spending 5.5 million to bring in an award-winning actor to make such a hard-working film would be a huge win for Liu Ying, right?

Back in his room, Lu Ze sat on a chair in front of the French windows on the balcony and picked up a copy of Yu Hua's "To Live" from his bedside table. This was another habit Lu Ze had recently developed, following his habit of drinking coffee and tea.

read.

The saying "There are houses of gold in books" was a truth that Lu Ze had taken as gospel since childhood. However, it didn't actually make Lu Ze spend all his free time with a book in his hand. After all, he hadn't even solved the problem of eating before, let alone reading.

But now that his living conditions and economic situation allow it, he has picked up books again. Perhaps one or two books won't show the difference, but reading for a long time will greatly change a person's temperament. Lu Ze also hopes that he can understand more.

"Knock knock knock, Brother Lu, it's time for us to set off."

Two hours later, Wang Zixuan reminded Lu Ze from outside the door. Lu Ze put the book in his backpack, picked up his suitcase full of baggage tags, and walked out of the room.

Every journey we make is for tomorrow to be different from today.

Lu Ze had gotten used to wearing sunglasses. When he came out of the hotel, the sun was warm. The car he had arranged was already waiting at the door. He opened the car door and got in.

"set off!"

When they arrived in Guangzhou, it was already past four in the afternoon. As Lu Ze and Wang Zixuan were collecting their luggage, they suddenly heard a very loud scream, especially a girl's scream, which was particularly noticeable even among a group of people, like the suona in an orchestra. Lu Ze's first reaction was that he had been recognized, but then he thought that probably wasn't the case. With so many young girls screaming, it was definitely not him. Lu Ze knew that much.

Sure enough, as soon as he turned around, a group of people ran towards Lu Ze's side, including some holding light boards. Judging from their posture, it was as if they had just come back from a concert.

"Wanyi, I love you!!"

"Luo Ziqin! Luo Ziqin!! Luo Ziqin!!!"

Lu Ze was very familiar with these two names; they were the male and female leads of the rival drama "Fragrance of Flowers." Both of them were originally popular celebrities who transitioned to acting, so it's not surprising that they still have such high popularity.

After all, the Golden Rooster Awards are about to open, and domestic film stars are all gathering in Guangzhou. There is a great chance of meeting celebrities. If it were just one person, the scene would be much better. But unfortunately, they came in pairs. I wonder how many of them were hired for 81 hours a day.

Anyway, after glancing at the girls leading the way who were running towards them, and seeing their excitedly contorted expressions, Lu Ze felt a little scared.
"Let's go, let's hurry up and go around, otherwise we'll get stuck and won't be able to leave for a while. Zixuan, stay with me and don't get separated."

Seeing that even the security guards could barely stop the group of girls, Lu Ze had no choice but to quickly pull Wang Zixuan away for a strategic retreat to avoid trouble. Unfortunately, the two of them came out with their suitcases.

Instantly, the surge of the crowd increased to another level, and the security guards retreated further and further, trying their best to prevent the fans from breaking through the encirclement.

"You two come in first. There are too many people here, and you can't leave now. Wait until those two people leave before you go. Please be understanding."

A security guard suddenly reminded Lu Ze and Wang Zixuan to go and stay in the crowd of fans for the sake of order. Lu Ze looked up and saw that the exit was indeed completely blocked, and they couldn't get out at all.

Besides, the security guard was quite polite, but Lu Ze didn't dare to say it! He wasn't just a passerby; he was there to attend an awards ceremony, okay? Just because he wasn't recognized now doesn't mean he could remain unrecognized in a crowd.

"No need, brother. Let's turn back and not go out for now."

Without any hesitation, Lu Ze pulled Wang Zixuan and turned around to walk back. It didn't matter if they sat inside for a while. They were all celebrities. Although their popularity caused Lu Ze some trouble, Lu Ze was still quite understanding.

But just as he turned his head, a large hand shoved directly into Lu Ze's chest. Lu Ze was not prepared at all and was pushed back a few steps. When he looked up, the bodyguard who had pushed him earlier ignored him and continued to clear the way forward.

"Are you crazy?! Why are you pushing people? Do you own the airport?"

Before Lu Ze could even get impatient, Wang Zixuan was already anxious. Seeing Lu Ze's speechless expression, she couldn't suppress her anger any longer and shouted out loud, her face turning red with anger.

The noise was quite loud, and the bodyguards heard it. These bastards must have been involved in the underworld before; they were all so arrogant. Lu Ze had heard before that celebrity bodyguards and assistants were all quite pretentious, but this was the first time he had actually witnessed it in person.

"Excuse me."

The bodyguard wouldn't actually get into a fight with two "passersby." He had just used too much force, even though he always used that much force.
As for apologies, they're just empty words, like farts. Usually in this situation, the bodyguard will keep saying, "Excuse me, please let me through, thank you."

Previously, they apologized to the general public, but this time it was specifically to Lu Ze.

Two men among the group of bodyguards also looked over, but perhaps because Lu Ze's hairstyle had changed and his physique had become much stronger, they didn't recognize him at first. They calmly glanced at Lu Ze and then turned their heads away, treating him as if he were invisible.

Lu Ze didn't dwell on it too much, because if he really took it seriously and got recognized later, it wouldn't be the two male and female leads of "Fragrance of Flowers" who would be embarrassed, but himself.

He could only hold Wang Zixuan's hand, shake his head at her, and tell her not to go and argue with her anymore. He watched as the bodyguards continued their "attack," almost pushing the little fans who came to greet the two celebrities over their heads.

Lu Ze shook his head helplessly: "Two more show-offs."
