Global Film Emperor

Chapter 151

Because of Jiang Wenshu's involvement, the subsequent development of this matter was much bigger than Lu Ze had initially imagined. In the following days, Jiang Wenshu and Luo Ziqin's fans argued fiercely, while Lu Ze's fans had already surrendered after only twenty minutes of arguing that night.

In the end, it turned into a fight between the fans of the two popular idols, and Lu Ze's fans had nothing to do with it anymore, but Lu Ze's reply that night was also pushed to a very high number of views.

No matter how hard he tries, he can't match my efforts. This statement sounds incredibly arrogant, as if Lu Ze has become arrogant after seizing the throne. However, the passersby have disliked Luo Ziqin for a long time, and hearing Lu Ze mock Luo Ziqin for being inferior to himself actually gave them a strange sense of satisfaction.

The next day, another Weibo influencer posted a thread titled "How hard did Lu Ze work? Or how much suffering did he endure?" It unearthed many of Lu Ze's past stories and some old photos, causing quite a stir. Lu Ze was deeply moved when he saw it.

"Lu Ze was born on November 6, 1992, in a poor county town in Lühua City, Liaoning Province. He had excellent grades in high school, but his father suddenly fell seriously ill, which led Lu Ze to drop out of school and work to pay off debts."

Lu Ze didn't know where this big V got the photos of Lu Ze during his school and working years. Back then, Lu Ze still had a student haircut and looked very young. He had a bright smile in the school photos, but after dropping out of school, Lu Ze gradually lost his smile in the photos.

"He worked for four years to pay off his family's debt of over 150,000 yuan, and then came to Hengdian to start his life as an extra. For two years, he remained unknown, living in a single-story house with very little sunlight."

Then he went on and on, providing strong evidence such as photos to prove just how dire his living conditions were at the time.

There are tons of photos, showing Lu Ze sitting by the roadside eating steamed buns, how much dirt he ate on set, and how much suffering he endured on set after his official debut, allowing people to feel Lu Ze's growth over the past nine years.

After Lu Ze verified, it was found that Qian Shijia had indeed found someone to post it, and the materials were also found by Qian Shijia. It has to be said that this was Lu Ze's inspiration for Wang Kai, and the post did indeed receive a very good response after it was published.

In fact, the general public's perception of celebrities is not too bad; at most, they are indifferent rather than dislike them. It's just that the actions of some celebrities and the tacit approval of capital have corrupted the atmosphere in this industry, causing many people to start to dislike it.

However, for a single person, especially if that person is real and not just a fabricated inspirational persona, then the public's perception of them will definitely not be too bad.

That's Lu Ze for you. Some more rational bystanders even went to check out Lu Ze's work after seeing this post. Lu Ze's continuous improvement in filming is obvious to all.

Who could possibly dislike such an inspiring, hardworking, and rapidly improving actor who ultimately won the Best Actor award as a newcomer to the film industry, without any subjective bias?

So the wind gradually changed. Lu Ze mocked Luo Ziqin at the awards ceremony, but Jiang Wanyi's mockery of Wang Zhen was also captured on camera.

This doesn't mean Lu Ze has a problem with his character; on the contrary, it proves that Lu Ze is a very loyal friend. He's willing to risk his own reputation in public just to save face for his friend. No wonder Jiang Wenshu didn't shy away from directly defending Lu Ze. This proves that Lu Ze is truly a good choice as a friend.

As for this matter, it can only be described as an eye for an eye; Luo Ziqin should go and cause trouble for Jiang Wanyi.

It was under these circumstances that Luo Ziqin's fans began to gradually turn their attention to Jiang Wanyi. Although there must have been someone pushing things behind the scenes, the onlookers still found it quite amusing. Four days after the incident, the fans of the male and female leads of "Fragrance of Flowers" started fighting.

But what does this have to do with Lu Ze? Luo Ziqin's fans are like mad dogs, biting anyone they can get their hands on. Now that they've bitten Jiang Wanyi and let go of Lu Ze's leg, Lu Ze is out of the picture.

Lu Ze didn't have time to spend all his time arguing with these popular celebrities. They had a pretty easy time filming, but he was exhausted every day and didn't have the energy to waste on them. Besides, he had a lot of important things to do, like the press conference for the start of filming of "The Boxer".

Liu Ying finally set the date for the press conference, which is today, October 20th. This is Lu Ze's first time attending such a large-scale press conference, with more than two hundred media outlets constantly filming and recording, making it quite a grand event.

After all, Liu Ying is one of the most outstanding and talented directors in China, so his popularity is naturally higher than that of all the directors who have worked with Lu Ze.

We've now moved on to the Q&A session. Lu Ze has just finished answering and put down the microphone. The next question will be answered by the female lead, Tang Juan.

Many reporters had just asked Lu Ze questions, and now when it was Tang Juan's turn to ask, the question still came back to Lu Ze, asking about the relationship between Tang Juan and Lu Ze.

"Xiao Lu and I got along very well on set. It's hard to imagine that a young person, especially one who's working in the entertainment industry, would be so old-fashioned?"

This corny remark amused not only the reporter, but also Liu Ying and the other actors. To be honest, they also felt that Lu Ze's lifestyle was quite old-fashioned.

Perhaps Tang Juan's use of the word "old-fashioned" is not quite appropriate, but a young person who doesn't even play with a cell phone all day, who carries around a water bottle all day, filled with either honey and jasmine flowers or red dates, goji berries and brown sugar, wandering around the film set with his hands behind his back, memorizing his lines.

Sometimes, he would wander around in front of Liu Ying, annoying Liu Ying so much that he would be scolded and chased away. Then, he could only sit obediently in his seat, listen to the opera, drink some tea, and wag his tail.

He looked to be in his early twenties, but his demeanor, style, and expression made him look like an old man. Occasionally, when the crew had some free time, the young actors would get together to go to a nightclub or something, but after asking Lu Ze a few times, he wouldn't go, and the young actors never asked him again.

This is also one of the reasons why the young actors don't like Lu Ze. Not only is his strength far superior to theirs, but he is also unsociable. He won't go out to play when asked, so some people inevitably gossip behind his back that Lu Ze is too arrogant and doesn't seem to care about associating with them. He is too self-righteous.

Although Lu Ze told them that his hearing wasn't very good and that he had otitis media, and that after going to the nightclub for a while, he was like a deaf person and couldn't hear anything, they just took it as an excuse.

Lu Ze sat to the side, feeling helpless. The first system course he learned was for the elderly, but after filming for so long, he hadn't used it even once. He usually just used it to chat with these senior actors. Lu Ze even had the urge to call Tang Juan "Sister Tang" because in the system course, he was sixty-eight years old.

The press conference concluded amidst laughter and cheers. Lu Ze then joined the other actors to return to the set and continue filming. The official promotion for "The King of Fighters" also officially kicked off today, entering its final sprint.

The filming schedule was much beyond Liu Ying's expectations. The original plan was to finish all the scenes by the end of December, but now it seems that it will be completed by mid-November.

This also resulted in a tight schedule for setting the scenes. Sometimes a venue was needed, but it couldn't be rented, so Liu Ying had to personally find connections to borrow it. For example, the largest scene in "The King of Fighters" was the Shanghai National Fitness Center.

The loan was originally scheduled for December, but it was moved up, which clashed with a match, forcing Liu Ying to personally make a trip to coordinate.

So after the press conference, the filming only lasted two hours and ended around 5 p.m., with Liu Ying announcing that the actors could go back to their hotels to rest.
