The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 182 Half a World-Famous Painting: A Mixture of Joy and Sorrow
……

The three male leads of the TV series "Warring States" are prepared for the impact of public opinion.

The facts are just as they thought!
In its first six days, "The Warring States" grossed over 6000 million yuan, which seems pretty good. However, considering that the film's investment cost was 1.5 million yuan... in reality, the film flopped spectacularly!

Moreover, its reputation is absolutely terrible.

—【This is so cringeworthy! Sun Honglei plays a crazy character in the movie, and one of his lines, "Juan, don't go, I'm scared," gave me goosebumps. It's like a cheesy, Brokeback Mountain-esque mess.】

—[Thunder roars, this is too cruel! My heart aches!]

—[Sun Bin, the military strategist of his time, was actually just a simpleton. Don't let his foolish appearance fool you; his mind was full of strategies for seducing women. He studied under Guiguzi, who apparently taught how to pick up girls. The moment he saw Jing Tian, ​​he was completely captivated. He refused any official position or generalship. "You're crazy, I'm stupid," he declared, determined to be with Jing Tian all the way to Libya!]

—[As I've said before, Jing Tian's movies aren't necessarily unwatchable, but the "content" absolutely cannot exceed 5%—the higher the 5%, the more dangerous! The movie *The Warring States* once again proves the reliability of this formula.]

—[Basically, there are only two types of movies that make me feel compelled to write a review: terrible films like *Real Steel*, and awful films like *The Warring States*… Incredibly, these two movies were produced by the same company!]

—【That's normal. I've already blacklisted Starlight Brilliant. How many times have they lied to me? Poor Yuan Ge, he doesn't have a single reliable person around him, just a bunch of bastards. I can't even imagine how high Yuan Ge can fly without this bunch of useless people! Probably not even Spielberg can catch up.】

— [Save 40 yuan by not going to the cinema!]

……

The internet is flooded with negative comments.

During this period, Sun Honglei was subjected to a barrage of insults and dared not show his face at all.

Wu Zhenyu and Jiang Wu were already holding their breath, determined not to utter a sound no matter how much they were humiliated.

Let's just give the famous director Lu Zhiyuan some face.

They might not care about the dazzling stars, just indulging in idle chatter. But this company also employs a genius director.

There's nothing we can do about it; we can only give them a little face.

To their surprise, all their preparations were in vain; Sun Honglei single-handedly drew all the firepower away.

"Brother, keep it up, draw all the fire!"

Wu Zhenyu and Jiang Wu, who were just enjoying the spectacle, not only did not help to draw the fire, but also let Sun Honglei take the blame and bear all the criticism.

In this way, Miss Jing Tian can become invisible.

……

"Hong Lei, many viewers have given the movie 'The Warring States' a rather negative review. Is there anything you'd like to say to the audience?"

As soon as Sun Honglei appeared at a media event, he was immediately seized by reporters who asked him about the movie "The Warring States".

These reporters clearly wanted Sun Honglei to reveal some inside information.

It should be as exciting as possible.

They dumped the pot on Miss Jing Tian's head.

Isn't Miss Jing Tian supposed to be tough and awesome?

They don't dare let us reporters and media speak recklessly; anyone who dares to speak out of turn will have their account suspended.

Now, we won't say it ourselves, but rather guide Sun Honglei to speak. You can't exactly blacklist Sun Honglei, can you?

Sun Honglei is a big star, having won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor. If Miss Jing Tian were to blacklist him, there would definitely be a huge uproar!

At that time, even if Miss Jing Tian has a powerful background, it won't be of any use.

Public opinion is mostly useless, but it becomes useful when things get out of hand.

“I recently had a brief chat with a highly respected director in the industry, and he recommended that I take a look at the book ‘Zizhi Tongjian’.”

Sun Honglei knew he couldn't avoid it.

If he managed to dodge it, Miss Jing Tian would get scolded. So, he had no choice but to find an opportunity to step forward and take the hit head-on.

come on!

Let the storm come more violently!
Let Brother Yuan see how badly I'm covered in wounds!
If I get hurt badly enough, next time I'll be able to pilot a super cool mech.

Faced with the aggressive gazes of countless reporters, Sun Honglei pretended to be about to cry, but couldn't help but smile.

You bunch of bastards, you want to see me make a fool of myself!
Row.

Let me show you!

At this moment, Sun Honglei said with an expressionless face, "At first, I was completely confused. Why would they recommend that I read the Zizhi Tongjian? Was there something they wanted to imply through this book that they couldn't say directly?"

With this in mind, I spent a week carefully studying the book "Zizhi Tongjian".

"I didn't read much, just a few dozen pages. But this morning, I think I understood something."

At this point, Sun Honglei sighed and said, "Throughout history, a man of great talent like Shang Yang would probably never have been able to display his abilities if he had stayed in the State of Wei his whole life."

"This made me realize that the more talented a person is, the more they should cherish every hard-won opportunity."

"A person may have lofty ambitions, but without good fortune, they cannot achieve them."

"Some people need years, decades, or even a lifetime to prove their talent."

"Although the movie 'The Warring States' has many problems, it also taught me a lot about life."

“I am very grateful that the production company asked me to play this role.”

“Now, the film has run into some problems. I’ve seen the comments online, and it seems the audience isn’t accepting it. I can understand that.”

"I can only say that I have disappointed everyone."

"Let me bow to you all here."

Sun Honglei rambled on and on.

The media reporters were all listening intently, waiting for Sun Honglei to drag Miss Jing Tian out and whip her corpse.

Alternatively, they could bring up Starlight Entertainment, the company behind the film "The Warring States," to incite hatred.

I never expected that Sun Honglei, who looks so tough, like a mafia boss, would speak so softly.

He has no temper at all.

He took the blame voluntarily.

Didn't he know that after a big-budget film like "The Warring States" flops, the market is likely to avoid him?

It's likely that they won't cast him as the lead in any big-budget movies in the future.

Sun Honglei, a veteran actor, must be aware of these unspoken rules.

However, he still stepped forward to take the blame.

there is only one truth!
He received a promise.

The company, Starlight Brilliant, is full of useless people from top to bottom, from beginning to end, but they have one pillar who stands tall.

That person is none other than the renowned director Lu Zhiyuan!

Two movies, two years, and Lu Zhiyuan single-handedly made Starlight Brilliant Company earn hundreds of millions of US dollars!
An investment like "Warring States" may seem like a lot, but Starlight Entertainment can play it 10 times a year.

Even if we lose everything, it'll only bring a smile to Miss Jingtian's face.

What Sun Honglei was saying was that talented people should cherish every hard-won opportunity.

This talented person certainly doesn't refer to Sun Honglei himself.

He was implying that despite Starlight Entertainment's production of "The Warring States" flopping again.

What are they afraid of?
As long as the renowned director Lu Zhiyuan is still alive and hasn't separated from Starlight Media, Pacific Rim will begin its promotional campaign by the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

You'll all have to shamelessly rush to Lu Zhiyuan's doorstep when the time comes.

Is it really necessary to go to such extremes now?
Miss Jing Tian has a powerful background, and the famous director Lu Zhiyuan is talented... If these two just go their separate ways, then nobody will care.

When these people come together, it's a winning combination.

The investment in "Warring States" is 1.5 million, which seems like a lot, but that's from the perspective of others.

Compared to the brilliance of the stars, what's that?
Did you know that their big director spent 2000 million US dollars to build five Jaeger robots just to play with Jaeger?

Most importantly, the famous director himself hasn't even had a chance to play yet; he's being played by that scoundrel Duan Yihong every day!
Sun Honglei said he was really angry and that he had to protect the $2000 million in assets for the famous director and prevent Duan Yihong from squandering it!

What if I break it? How am I supposed to drive it?

……

Hong Lei, what do you think of the production team of "The Warring States"?

"When the director was promoting the film, he said that the production standards of 'The Warring States' were completely on par with international blockbusters."

These reporters are really awful.

How could I, an actor, say something like that?
If you're so capable, go find that director!

I don't even know him.

Sun Honglei initially accepted the role entirely out of respect for Miss Jing Tian, ​​and also because he wanted to use her connections to get to know the renowned director Lu Zhiyuan.

Now, he knows Lu Zhiyuan, and he's even getting roles in Hollywood blockbusters.

Who is the director of "The Warring States"?
Who knows him?
He had already erased that person from his memory.

"Honglei, say a few more words..."

"Hong Lei, did Pacific Rim offer you a role? Will you take the part?"

The reporter kept chasing after Sun Honglei, asking him questions.

Fearing that the reporters would discover the truth, Sun Honglei ran faster than Master Cat and quickly jumped into his van and drove away.

Not long after, Sun Honglei's remarks during an interview about the "Zizhi Tongjian" and the relationship between a talented horse and its discerning owner spread across the internet.

"Thanks, Brother Honglei."

When Miss Jing Tian saw that Sun Honglei had taken on all the negative news, she sent him a text message to express her gratitude.

"No need to thank me. It's all what I should do. The main problem with this movie is that I didn't act well, which dragged Sister Tian down."

"I swear, I will never do this again."

Sun Honglei had absolutely no need for Miss Jing Tian's thanks.

However, flattering Miss Jing Tian will soon receive positive feedback from Lu Zhiyuan.

"Brother Honglei, since that's the case, I have a new movie coming out in July, called 'Time Raiders.' Would you like to join me in the filming?"

Miss Jing Tian felt that although Sun Honglei's acting skills were not very good, he was a good person and deserved to be her friend.

Miss Jing Tian has always been very generous to her friends. She always includes them in any activities or projects she undertakes.

"I'm sorry, Sister Tian Tian, ​​my schedule clashes. Next time, next time if there's a chance."

Sun Honglei really wanted to kneel down before Jing Tian.

When I say "next time," am I referring to "next time" with you? I'd have to be crazy to play with you twice! You almost ruined my foundation the first time.

Hey.

Sister Tian Tian is great in every way, but she shouldn't be making movies.

It's like having to endure something you don't really have to suffer.

How wonderful it would be for her to live the life of a pampered young lady, dating a famous director, getting beauty treatments, going shopping, and buying luxury goods.
The Warring States period had a 1.5 million yuan investment. If she used it to buy luxury goods, how long could she last? If she spent 10 yuan a day, it would last her 1500 days.

Why bother?

It's really confusing.

……

After chatting with Sun Honglei for a while, although he didn't mention the movie's failure at all, Miss Jing Tian was still full of doubts.

"Why exactly?"

"When the Warring States was being filmed, everything was perfectly normal."

"When the director started filming, he seemed quite convincing. You could sense a similar quality in him to our robot."

"But why did the final cut look completely different after filming?"

What is the director thinking?

"With such an abstract mind, how does he create art?"

"Do these directors all want to emulate our robots and create art films while making commercial ones?"

"Do they even have any artistic sense? They tried to draw a tiger but ended up with a dog! Enough already!"

Before the release of "The Warring States", Miss Jing Tian made a grand vow in front of Lu Zhiyuan, saying that she would definitely lead the entire crew to success.

So, what's the result now?
She single-handedly ruined the entire production crew.

Although none of the older brothers in the crew said anything, Miss Jing Tian was still somewhat unhappy.

Now, it seems everyone online knows that she is the biological daughter of Starlight Entertainment.

Some people say she is the goddaughter of the boss, Lu Zheng, or his kept girlfriend.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why she acts in bad movies every day, and every movie she makes flops, yet she still gets to act in Hollywood movies directed by a big director like Lu Zhiyuan.

Although she didn't have many scenes, her portrayal of Miss T was truly outstanding.

That's definitely her signature role.

The effort that renowned director Lu Zhiyuan put into creating this role for a queen of bad movies like her could probably fill another sci-fi film.

When Miss Jing Tian saw these comments, she couldn't help but facepalm in silence.

"These netizens have such wild imaginations."

"Why doesn't anyone say that the great director Lu Zhiyuan loves me so much that he specially created a classic role for me?"

Miss Jing Tian was absolutely certain that the role of Miss T was tailor-made for her by Lu Zhiyuan.

Because she had watched the movie carefully.

The character of Miss T was forcibly added to the movie by Lu Zhiyuan to connect the plot.

Given the level of technology in the Pacific Rim movie universe, Ms. T has absolutely no need for a physical body.

Using a supercomputer makes more sense.

"Sun Honglei took the blame for the movie's failure, not because of me, not because of Sister Shanshan, and not because of money."

"He had previously wanted to return the money to Sister Shanshan."

"After thinking it over, there's only one reason. Our robot must have given us advance notice, making Sun Honglei step forward to take the blame, just to avoid getting the blame on me."

"Our robot is cold and indifferent to everyone else, but it's really warm to me."

The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. Her heart was as sweet as honey. Miss Jing Tian couldn't help but take a selfie and send it to Lu Zhiyuan, who was 8500 kilometers away.

"Ah Yuan, I just got a new hairstyle, the Empress Princess Cut. What do you think? Do you like it?"

Since Dilraba got the Empress Princess Cut hairstyle and became a global sensation for her role as Alita, she hasn't changed her hairstyle for the past few years.

When she occasionally attends business events and needs a completely new look, she simply wears a wig.

Miss Jing Tian knew from observing Dilraba that the Empress Princess Cut hairstyle, combined with long, straight black hair, was definitely Lu Zhiyuan's favorite hairstyle.

Others are afraid of having the same style as Dilraba and incurring her wrath, so what is she afraid of?
She is the real sister-in-law.

When Dilraba saw it, even though she was unhappy, she could only say, "Sister-in-law, your hairstyle looks really good."

"I like it! Make me some soup and wait for me to come back."

Upon seeing Lu Zhiyuan's reply, Miss Jing Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

I'm so happy!
Although she really enjoyed making soup for Lu Zhiyuan to nourish his body.

However, she also knew very well that Lu Zhiyuan hated drinking soup.

Especially after filming "Real Steel," Lu Zhiyuan exercised every day and his physical energy improved a lot. He started to resist drinking soup.

But now, he actually brought this up himself.

This is enough to show that her new look is very attractive to Lu Zhiyuan.

"I knew it, men always like a little novelty."

Looking at her stunningly beautiful face in the mirror, coupled with her "Empress Princess Cut" hairstyle that's irresistible to straight men.

Miss Jing Tian's mood became extremely beautiful.

Right now, she desperately wanted to take out her phone and send a text message to her assistant that very night.

Buy me the fastest plane ticket to Iceland. I want to take my soup with me, go find my sweetheart, and travel halfway around the world to sleep with him!

……

Iceland.

Near Fagladar volcano.

With the help of a local guide, Lu Zhiyuan assigned his three film crews to three safe locations near the volcano.

No matter from which angle the aurora appears, there will definitely be one of these three safe locations with a camera that can capture the footage he needs.

Unfortunately, we couldn't capture the scene of the volcanic eruption.

Otherwise, this would definitely be a world-famous painting!
Mechs under the aurora borealis, volcanic lava erupting, and a distant icy lake filled with cold hues... Lu Zhiyuan couldn't even imagine how breathtaking this scene would be.

such a pity.

He had clearly found his rhythm, but reality wouldn't allow it.

Aside from not being able to film the volcanic eruption, he wanted to throw the Jaeger into the crater to watch the Jaeger melt into the lava... After consulting with the local environmental protection department, he was absolutely forbidden from doing so.

The local environmental protection department even sent a staff member to monitor their every move, and would immediately call the police to arrest them if they violated any regulations.

no way.

Lu Zhiyuan could only compress his crazy ideas by half, and then compress them by another half.

In the end, only the night sky under the aurora borealis remained. Under the night sky, the mech hunters, their eyes shining like lighthouses, hinted that the flame of human civilization had never been extinguished. The aurora borealis became their only steadfast refuge.

If he doesn't see the aurora this month, he'll wait until the second half of the year, until winter.

The aurora borealis is most intense in Iceland during winter.

"Brother, you've been living in the tent for a week now. Can your body handle it?"

As one of the female leads, Dilraba waits by Lu Zhiyuan's side every day, hoping for the aurora night view to appear.

Then, she would stand beside the crippled mech hunter kneeling on the ground by the frozen lake, and a single tear would roll down her robotic cheek.

In order to capture the world-famous painting that Lu Zhiyuan needed, she had been preparing herself emotionally for a long time, feeling that she would definitely not disappoint Lu Zhiyuan.

However, after a full week of building up her feelings, she had almost lost them.

However, Dilraba soon felt that she had found her footing again.

Because she watched as Lu Zhiyuan took out his phone and received a photo from Miss Jing Tian.

In the photo, Miss Jing Tian has a particularly sweet smile; she is the kind of gentle and beautiful woman.

But what's infuriating is that Miss Jing Tian got the exact same Empress Princess Cut hairstyle as herself.

In particular, Dilraba witnessed Lu Zhiyuan's text message when he saw the photo: "I like it! Make me some soup and wait for me to come back." This made Dilraba insanely jealous.

She felt like she had made a mistake.

Lu Zhiyuan is not a cold robot; he is also a warm-hearted person. However, all his gentleness is reserved for Miss Jing Tian.

However, the most despicable one is Miss Jing Tian.

She actually got the exact same hairstyle as her?

Why would the other party do this?
Miss Jing Tian has already stolen everyone away, and now she's even trying to steal her hairstyle?
Isn't that a bit too much?
Wait a minute, something seems off here!

Suddenly, Dilraba thought of something and felt puzzled.

Sister-in-law Tian Tian, ​​why are you copying my hairstyle?

I understand!
Hey Hey!

Dilraba was furious just moments ago, wishing Lu Zhiyuan would understand why Liu Yifei called her "A Mountain in Altay".

Her arms didn't look particularly strong, but she was incredibly powerful—the kind of person who could strangle someone to death.

But now, she suddenly feels very happy.

Because even Sister-in-law Tian Tian knows that Brother Yuan likes me the most.

My sister-in-law, Tian Tian, ​​even copied my hairstyle to please Brother Yuan.

……

"coming!"

"Look at the sky!"

"All units, prepare yourselves! Don't miss any world-famous paintings!"

Just then, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly stood up from his chair, excitedly took out his walkie-talkie, and kept shouting at the three film crews.

"Brother Kun, launch all the drones! Capture everything you can."

Fagladar volcano, although no lava eruption occurred.

But the scorching lava always exists in the crater, occasionally flowing out like liquid flames.

In Iceland's unique geographical environment, there are scenes of ice and snow everywhere. On this land, there is always an epic poem of ice and fire.

But this is far from enough.

On this land, the contrast of colors and the contrast of warm and cool temperatures are already very obvious, but they still need a touch of divine soul.

The shadows of the Arctic, the violet aurora.

It is this wisp of divine soul.

At this very moment, the violet aurora, like a curtain tearing through the night sky, slowly unveiled this magnificent spectacle.

The cool glow contrasted sharply with the orange-red lava flowing on the ground, creating a scene reminiscent of the brushstrokes in Van Gogh's "Starry Night".

Lu Zhiyuan once gifted the painting "Starry Night" to Liu Yifei's best friend Lisa, subtly expressing his feelings and politely declining her affections.

At that moment, he suddenly realized how wonderful the painting "Starry Night" was.

Cold and warmth, oppression and hope.

The aurora borealis falling from the sky symbolizes divinity and redemption.

The frozen lake on the ground symbolizes loneliness.

The flowing lava symbolizes the unknown abyss.

These three images, with their three color tones, resonate aesthetically with the Apostle monsters that descend from the sky in the movie "Pacific Rim," the "Qin Palace Guards" controlled by Hanikezi, and the "Battle Angels" controlled by Dilraba herself.

The appearance of the Apostle Monsters has ushered in a new journey for human civilization. These are beings that are both gods and demons, a community of destruction and hope.

The character Hanikezi is inherently filled with loneliness. She is an orphan with no friends, and the only online friend she has is an AI cybernetic human.

Needless to say, Dilraba's character appears passionate and fiery, but her inner world is like an abyss, full of unknowns.

The two have completely opposite public personas.

But at this moment, the two of them represent the Earth and are engaged in a great battle with the apostle monsters that have fallen to Earth like the aurora borealis.

The characters, the visuals, and the storyline resonate together!

Lu Zhiyuan was very satisfied.

This is what I want!

Although most viewers may not understand all of this, the underlying logic of artistic thinking is actually to bring a spiritual shock to people.

This kind of shock doesn't need to be understood.

Use your instincts to feel.

You can then appreciate the beauty of that scene.

"Actors ready, mechs ready, all units ready..."

"Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; the aurora is fleeting and may only last for a few minutes."

"Don't delay, let's get started!"

With Lu Zhiyuan's command.

The entire crew of over a hundred people instantly began working in an orderly manner.

Before the aurora arrived, they had rehearsed several times to ensure that no accidents would occur.

……

"Crack!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Finally, I got the footage I needed."

"Pack your things and get ready to go home."

"Everyone did a great job. I won't waste any more time on small talk; it's quite cold here. We'll reflect that in the project bonuses after the movie is released."

……

Although Lu Zhiyuan told the crew that he was very satisfied, he was actually still somewhat dissatisfied.

We've photographed half of the world-famous painting.

For the audience, it should be enough to give them a visually stunning experience.

But for Lu Zhiyuan himself, he only captured half of the scene he wanted. Can this still be considered a world-famous painting?

90 points is great, but it's not 100 points no matter what.

The two are very different.

such a pity.

The filming conditions in Iceland were really terrible.

Volcanic eruptions are something that can only happen by chance.

The Jaeger Hunters couldn't be thrown into a volcano for a live-action shoot, so Lu Zhiyuan could experience what the final judgment was like.

Lu Zhiyuan felt really uncomfortable not being able to see that iconic scene.

But he also knew that to capture a double sunrise on Mount Muztagh Ata like in "Real Steel," one needed the right timing, location, and people.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He cannot expect every film to create the perfect, or even more perfect, visuals that exceed his own imagination.

"I hate Iceland!"

"I should have gone to Antarctica from the beginning!"

"If I were in Antarctica, I would definitely be able to photograph a world-famous painting, the kind of real world-famous painting that I expect, not a substitute."

"It's all my fault. I compromised my artistic pursuit of film for the sake of convenience."

When the movie "Pacific Rim" was scheduled for release, Lu Zhiyuan swore to God that he would find a suitable opponent to snipe it.

Unleash the opponent's hidden talents.

Ideally, it should be related to physical fitness.

If his physical condition were strong enough, this time he wouldn't have listened to anyone's advice and had to come to Iceland to compromise with reality.

He could charter a research vessel and go to Antarctica.

As for daily necessities, we'll charter another boat, or even several boats, to deliver them once a day, ensuring that the milk is as fresh as possible.

There are also medical issues...

He could also charter several more medical ships and have the doctors take turns on duty every day, so that anyone in the crew who gets sick can receive local treatment.

As for medication?

If you have money, how can you not buy medicine?
As for medical equipment?

The medical equipment used in the emergency room should be fine.

He could even arrange for a small plane to be placed on King George Island in Antarctica, so that if any accident occurred, people could be transported away by plane.

……

On the plane back to China.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

Only Lu Zhiyuan said he was very tired and wanted to rest in a corner, asking others not to disturb him.

He needs to get a good night's sleep.

Don't disturb him before the plane lands.

"Brother Kun, I've discovered something incredibly important."

Dilraba would occasionally glance back at the corner where Lu Zhiyuan was.

Lu Zhiyuan hadn't slept at all; he stared out the window with wide, melancholy eyes.

This made Dilraba very distressed.

She found Xin Yukun and quietly asked, "Does my brother have some kind of 'genius disease'?"

Xin Yukun was listening to music, but when he saw that Dilraba had something to say, he took off one of his earphones.

Upon hearing Reba say that Lu Zhiyuan was ill, Xin Yukun immediately became serious, frowned, and coldly rebuked, "Reba, what are you saying?"

"Remember, Yuan is a genius. That's true. But he's not sick! You need to understand the difference between the two!"

If the news media were to reveal that renowned director Lu Zhiyuan is ill, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

"Brother Kun, I've been doing a lot of research lately."

"My brother is a genius... well, not an illness, but a genius halo bestowed by God."

"His genius aura usually leads to two extreme emotional fluctuations."

“During manic periods, he would exhibit extremely high levels of creativity and self-confidence; my brother was in this state most of the time.”

"However, he occasionally falls into a period of depression, during which he experiences extreme despair and a sense of powerlessness."

“He has no middle ground; he fluctuates between two extreme states. This situation affects his social skills and daily living skills.”

"You've known my brother for so long, do you think... my description above sounds plausible?"

picture!
so similar!
Xin Yukun couldn't help but nod, but kept emphasizing, "I'll say it again, Brother Yuan is definitely not sick! It's the two of us who are sick."

"I have a cold, it's not a big problem. I'll take two Tylenol pills when I get home, and I'll be fine in three days at most."

Xin Yukun wiped his nose, then pointed at Reba's head: "You've got a crush on someone, and that can be a serious or minor problem. Be careful."

You're the one who's infatuated!
When Xin Yukun exposed her little secret, Dilraba blushed instantly.

Under normal circumstances, after being mocked by Xin Yukun like that, Dilraba would most likely turn away and sulk, ignoring Xin Yukun.

But today is different.

Reba hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Generally, when someone gets that kind of genius halo, the following situations will occur."

"First, he will demonstrate extraordinary talent and skills in certain areas, such as music, mathematics, and art. He also has an exceptionally good memory."

This one is correct.

Upon hearing Reba's description, Xin Yukun nodded slightly.

Lu Zhiyuan has an amazing memory!

I can remember almost every book I've read.

His artistic talent goes without saying; it surpasses the entire entertainment industry, and few directors in the world can compare to him.

Most importantly, he can imitate whomever he wants.

Even without the Jaeger-Maniacs and monster battles, the lowest standard of the movie "Pacific Rim" is Roland Emmerich's "2012".

The movie "2012" grossed $7.9 million worldwide.

Lu Zhiyuan's ability to imitate is beyond what can be described as genius!

He's a complete psychopath!
Xin Yukun occasionally flips through history books, and even in history books, such an extremely bizarre situation is rarely seen.

He's incredibly lucky to be able to assist someone like that; his ancestors must have been blessed with good fortune.

"In addition, having the aura of genius can lead to some social difficulties. For example, in some situations, they may appear very unsociable and behave strangely."

Upon hearing this, Xin Yukun couldn't help but nod in agreement.

But that's not right.

Lu Zhiyuan does not meet the requirements.

He has extremely high emotional intelligence.

This is perfectly embodied in Miss Jing Tian.

As for the others?
Few people are worth Lu Zhiyuan adjusting his emotional intelligence for.

"Another point is that, having the halo of genius, their language communication is different from that of normal people. You often feel like they are speaking an alien language that is incomprehensible to others."

This one is correct!

That's a perfect match!

However, this doesn't mean Lu Zhiyuan is sick; he just spoke in a slightly more formal way. Perhaps that's how people in their circle speak.

Didn't Liu Yifei get along very well with him?

Liu Yifei didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

Dilraba is still not good enough. Although she is beautiful and has a good figure, she hasn't studied enough. I still need to contact Liu Yifei and ask her to treat my good brother's illness.

"After I get off the plane, I'll contact Faye and ask her if she's interested in filming a sequel to Pacific Rim."

"Honey's filming is wrapping up, and we're short one female lead. We can let Afi take her place!"

"As for the role... never mind, I can't think of one. Let Brother Yuan handle it!"

"With Brother Yuan's genius, he can definitely create an absolutely stunning character for Ah Fei with ease."

In Xin Yukun's view, Lu Zhiyuan's storytelling ability is at most an A.

However, his portrait photography skills are absolutely S-level!

Moreover, he also has his own methodology to help female characters enhance their charm!

Reba and Hanikezi both became world-renowned top stars under Lu Zhiyuan's methodology.

If all goes as expected, the character Liu Shishi will be very popular once "Pacific Rim" is released.

But Liu Shishi was no use.

His acting was so bad that Lu Zhiyuan secretly criticized him several times.

Based on Xin Yukun's understanding of Lu Zhiyuan, Liu Shishi definitely has no chance in the next sequel.

Sister Niu is gone.

Sister Da Niu definitely has to step up.
