The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 291 Another world-famous painting! Never absent!

……

Sellafield Nuclear Power Plant.

"Boss, all I have to do is pilot this drone around the area, and the mission is complete?"

Tom Hiddleston looked at the contents of his script and couldn't help but check it repeatedly.

That's too easy.

This was easier than filming "The Avengers"!

"Location shooting, it's that simple."

Lu Zhiyuan nodded: "For more specific details, you'll need to go to Yanjing and film it against a green screen. That's when your acting skills will truly be put to the test."

"I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Tom Hiddleston had no further questions and ran to the side to play with his new toy.

The Phantom 2 drone is truly a revolutionary product.

Starting next year, drones will begin to be used on a large scale in various scenarios around the world.

What Lu Zhiyuan needs to do is speed up this process.

DJI drones became an instant hit, sweeping the world, and then, with their cost advantage, they captured markets in countries around the world!
This directly creates a monopoly effect.

DJI's dominance has intimidated drone technology companies from other countries, making them hesitant to enter the market.

The booming sales of DJI drones will drive the entire domestic industry chain, rapidly forming a cluster effect and continuing to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

It makes other countries even more desperate.

……

During the film shooting process
Lu Zhiyuan was very serious and completely absorbed in it.

Zhang Ruonan, the female lead, has virtually no screen time at the Sellafield nuclear power plant; she spends most of her time idly by Gao Yuanyuan's side.

The two sat in the car, scrolling through their phones together.

"Sister Yuanyuan, your TV series 'Let's Get Married' aired yesterday, and the ratings are great. Everyone on the internet is talking about you!"

Zhang Ruonan saw Gao Yuanyuan's news online. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and chuckled.

"Sister Yuanyuan, I heard that in this TV series, you asked the screenwriter to create a painter character who comes to you on a blind date... You meet by chance, and after only a few meetings, you want to marry him."

"Aren't you being a little too eager to get married?"

Zhang Ruonan turned to look at Gao Yuanyuan with a strange smile on her face.

Zhang Ruonan looked up the actor playing the painter online and found that he was a greasy middle-aged man with curly hair and a small mustache.

Zhang Ruonan looks quite familiar with this actor.

However, I couldn't recall the name right away.

She looked it up and found out his name was Tu Yansong, who looked completely different from Lu Zhiyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan seemed afraid of being misunderstood.

However, this attempt to cover up the truth is a bit too obvious.

It's all over the internet now.

It's said that Gao Yuanyuan had a crush on Lu Zhiyuan, this artistic and handsome man, for many years... Unfortunately, Lu Zhiyuan had a girlfriend, and Gao Yuanyuan could only find some comfort in TV dramas.

"What do you know, you little brat!"

Gao Yuanyuan was furious and told Zhang Ruonan to go away.

Do I need comfort right now?

I sleep with my artsy crush every night!

Although she wanted to refute him on the spot, Gao Yuanyuan could only calmly explain for the sake of her and Lu Zhiyuan's image: "In TV dramas, in order to increase the audience's sense of identification, even a goddess like me has to find an ordinary person to fall in love with."

"In reality, if I even glance at such an ordinary male protagonist, I'd consider myself to have lost!"

After saying that, Gao Yuanyuan pointed at Zhang Ruonan and said, "I'm popular with male fans on Hupu because I always play these love-obsessed characters. If you want to climb the Hupu rankings, just play these kinds of roles that appeal to male viewers. I guarantee you'll be on the list every year!"

After listening, Zhang Ruonan felt that there was some truth to it.

However, based on her understanding of Gao Yuanyuan, she felt there was some kind of trap involved.

Zhang Ruonan hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Gao Yuanyuan with a hint of wariness: "Sister Yuanyuan, why do I feel like you're trying to fool me?"

"That's right, I was just kidding you!"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Pandering to male viewers can make you very famous, but you'll most likely not get any valuable endorsements."

Gao Yuanyuan makes money through commercial endorsements!

To be honest, she has acted in very few TV dramas.

There are only three TV series that I can name: "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", "The World's Finest", and "Let's Get Married"!
Although she has acted in quite a few movies, she hasn't had many memorable roles in them.

There's only one movie, "Caught in the Web," where the character Ye Lanqiu reached new heights of beauty.

Although she doesn't have many works, her commercial value is exceptionally high!
Because she represents a new era of urban woman's life.

Unfortunately, even if she told Zhang Ruonan these things, Zhang Ruonan wouldn't be able to learn them... People are different, opportunities are different, and times are different.

"Sister Yuanyuan, you're bullying me."

Zhang Ruonan knew that Gao Yuanyuan hadn't told her the truth.

At this moment, she pouted and pretended to be aggrieved: "I'm going to tell Brother Yuan that you bullied his leading lady."

"You brat, all you do is tattle."

Gao Yuanyuan laughed and scolded.

Gao Yuanyuan knew very well that Zhang Ruonan was teasing her.

However, Zhang Ruonan is right, she is indeed the female lead in Lu Zhiyuan's story.

I really can't bully him.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan pulled Zhang Ruonan aside and made a promise: "How about this? After you finish filming the movie, I'll make the decision to sign you as the spokesperson for Far East High Technology's [4th Generation Robot Dog]."

"In addition, I collaborated with Daphne on a brand called ONDUL, which is roughly equivalent to 'ripple' in French."

“I personally designed several women’s shoes and originally planned to endorse them myself, but now that I’ve decided to move behind the scenes, I naturally need to reduce my public exposure.”

"You got off easy, you brat."

"From now on, you will be the exclusive spokesperson for my brands."

No wonder she's an incredibly wealthy woman!

After making a few casual jokes, Gao Yuanyuan directly gifted herself two endorsements!

At that moment, Zhang Ruonan realized Gao Yuanyuan's financial power and sweetly called out, "Sister-in-law, I am deeply grateful for your kindness!"

"That's pretty much it."

After being called "sister-in-law" a few times, Gao Yuanyuan felt incredibly lightheaded.

She ruffled Zhang Ruonan's hair and said meaningfully, "Xiao Nan, just focus on making movies and being your big star. Don't get any improper thoughts."

"As for those material things, like film salaries, endorsements, and status, those will all come with you. Your sister-in-law will help you!"

Gao Yuanyuan is one of the few people who has read the entire script of "Godzilla".

She knew that there would definitely be a sequel to Godzilla.

Zhang Ruonan, the female lead, will be filming with Lu Zhiyuan for at least several years.

According to the ironclad rule in the industry, most directors will inevitably fall in love with their leading ladies... She has to take precautions.

After all, Dilraba is Lu Zhiyuan's leading lady.

She also played the female lead in Lu Zhiyuan's films!
Before becoming Lu Zhiyuan's leading lady, Lu Zhiyuan didn't even give her a friendly look.

However, after becoming Lu Zhiyuan's leading lady and having intimate contact with him, his attitude towards her changed drastically.

Making movies is really scary!
It can even change a person's preferences.

……

at the same time.

In early November, during his concert in Shanghai, Wang Feng made a declaration of love, expressing his feelings to Zhang Ziyi in the audience.

That evening, after the news broke, numerous related posts immediately appeared on Weibo.

Overnight, photos of Wang Feng and Zhang Ziyi traveling together, playing mahjong, and other interactions spread like wildfire.

On the internet, everyone is enjoying the gossip immensely.

Just as Wang Feng was about to make headlines... suddenly, pop diva Wang Fei announced her divorce from Li Yapeng on Weibo.

The news went viral instantly after it was released.

This has become one of the most shocking entertainment news stories of the year!

In almost a second, Wang Feng and Zhang Ziyi's relationship was firmly suppressed and placed in second place.

No matter how much Wang Feng tries, he just can't make it to the front page!

The news of Wang Fei and Li Yapeng's divorce has caused a sensation across the internet.

The entire internet is buzzing with discussion, with all sorts of opinions being expressed.

"A middle-aged divorce always involves a third party!"

"I'm absolutely certain that Wang Fei is going to find Xie Tingfeng... I've already written the rest of the script, a grand reconciliation!"

The above speculation is reasonable.

However, at this critical juncture, someone inexplicably went to Ning Hao and gave him advice!

"Ning Hao, Ning Hao, your chance has come! Guy Ritchie went to Madonna! Ning Hao should go to Wang Fei!"

"Strongly support Ning Hao to become the next Guy Ritchie!"

"Ning Hao, 'No Man's Land' is going to be released next month. At this crucial moment, as your fan, I strongly suggest you marry a superstar to bring yourself good luck!"

God the hell, let's have some good luck!
Ning Hao was speechless when he saw this.

He and Wang Fei are truly innocent!
He stopped imitating Guy Ritchie... all to clear his wife's name. As a result, before his new movie was even released, netizens' impression of him was still stuck four years ago.

"Ning Hao, Wang Fei just mentioned you... Go and see!"

Suddenly, someone left this comment under Ning Hao's Weibo post!
This made Ning Hao tremble all over.

real or fake?

At this moment, his curiosity reached its peak!
But, he didn't dare!

I have a feeling that something's creeping up my spine!

……

This generation of netizens is really good at stirring things up!

The film "No Man's Land" was stuck in production for many years, leaving Ning Hao disoriented and despondent.

Many people felt sorry for Ning Hao!
Because Ning Hao debuted earlier than Lu Zhiyuan.

When Ning Hao's "Crazy Racer" was released, it received widespread praise from the media!
However, just one year later, Lu Zhiyuan's "Upgrade" was released.

After that, who is Ning Hao?
Netizens don't recognize him anymore!

However, netizens don't remember Ning Hao, but they do remember something else!

Lu Zhiyuan's good friend Xin Yukun bought a discounted ticket on a Tuesday when "Crazy Racer" was released. He also borrowed someone's student ID to get an extra discount and watched "Crazy Racer"!
The person who sold the tickets exposed this incident!

Because he thought the matter was too bizarre, he complained to others... Who knew that "The Coffin in the Mountain" would become a hit and win the Palme d'Or.

Xin Yukun is also the male lead in this movie.

The ticket seller immediately recognized Xin Yukun.

Thus, the story of Xin Yukun using his student ID to buy discounted tickets to watch Ning Hao's movie on Tuesdays became a legend!
Over the years, Lu Zhiyuan has stood out from the crowd!

Ning Hao, this former genius, disappeared from the internet for many years, as if someone had cast an invisibility spell on him.

There are some rumors that Ning Hao, because of his outstanding talent, is considered by Jing Tian, ​​the "walled city sister," to be a major threat to Lu Zhiyuan and has been directly blocked from contacting him!
Then, Lu Zhiyuan absorbed Ning Hao's talent and opportunities, and soared to great heights!
Ning Hao was suppressed for a full four years!
4 years!

In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhiyuan has become the leading director in the Chinese entertainment film industry!

According to rumors circulating on the Feng Shui forum, Ning Hao's luck has been completely drained by Lu Zhiyuan... As for his talent, it's unknown how much Ning Hao has left.
As for why Ning Hao was released again?

Netizens have also come up with a reasonable explanation.

That's because Jing Tian broke up with Lu Zhiyuan... She had no reason to continue helping Lu Zhiyuan suppress Ning Hao!
"Ning Hao, marry Wang Fei, and you'll defy fate!"

Someone is using this as a pretext!

Countless people shared this sentence on Weibo.

Some netizens were puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Why is it that Ning Hao can defy fate by marrying Wang Fei?"

"Idiot! Ning Hao married Wang Fei, so he's Prince Ning! Who is Prince Ning? I don't need to explain. Anyone who's seen '3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy' should understand, right?"

After that sentence was spoken, the entire building tilted to one side!
"Brother, I haven't seen it! I really haven't seen it!"

"This thing actually has a 3D version? Forgive my ignorance, but I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction!"

May good fortune be with you always! This is my email address...

Below, the comments are all the same, all asking for the torrent!

Amidst the online uproar about Wang Fei and Li Yapeng's divorce... who knew that Ning Hao would suddenly become a sensation, instantly boosting the popularity of the film "No Man's Land"!
This made Ning Hao wonder... were he and Wang Fei truly a perfect match?

He hasn't even married Faye Wong yet, but by just riding on her coattails, he's brought immense attention to his movie.

As it turns out, marrying Wang Fei can indeed change one's fate!

The problem is, would Wang Fei even look up to him?
"Ning Hao, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, Ning Hao heard a cold voice coming from behind him!

"what!"

"Ah, no!"

……

The cast and crew of "Ban Shu Legend".

This TV series is nearing its end and filming is about to wrap up.

Jing Tian is the female lead in this TV series!

In 2013, Jing Tian's business suddenly became very busy.

The movie in which she plays the lead role, "Special Identity," was just released last month and has done quite well at the box office, grossing nearly 3000 million US dollars worldwide, which is about 2 million RMB.

Before this, she had been busy with publicity and even had to take time to go to Lu Zhiyuan's house to give Dilraba and Gao Yuanyuan a good scolding.

Put some psychological pressure on them.

Don't think that just because you and Lu Zhiyuan have fallen out, these two can sit back and reap the benefits!

After the promotion of "Special Identity" ended, she had a fight with Lu Zhiyuan, and then immediately returned to the set of "Ban Shu Legend" to do some reshoots in the later stages.

Next month, around December 24th, "Police Story 2013" will also be released, making up for Lu Zhiyuan's Christmas film season!

In the past, absolutely no one would have dared to release the film on this date!

Now that Lu Zhiyuan has moved his film to the summer season, countless people are eager to jump in and seize this untapped market!
"Tian Tian, ​​congratulations on wrapping up filming!"

Zhao Shanshan specially bought a cake and a bouquet of flowers for Jing Tian.

I don't know when it started, probably after Weibo came along... celebrities started to get into putting on a show.

In the past, the wrap-up process usually involved just having a quick meal and that was it.

Now, when celebrities finish filming, their agents or the production crew need to prepare cakes and flowers to express their blessings, and then take some beautiful photos to show to their fans.

"Thank you."

Jing Tian listlessly accepted the cake and flowers, then forced herself to cheer up and posed for a few beautiful photos.

For her, wrapping up filming is already a regular occurrence.

Every time she was filming, she was completely focused, wishing she could learn from Lu Zhiyuan and put everything else out of her mind.

But she couldn't do it!
Every time she enters the film crew, Lu Zhiyuan comes to mind.

Imagine if Lu Zhiyuan were the director of this movie, how would he have filmed it?
You'll definitely take some really beautiful photos of yourself, right?

That bastard has a terrible personality, but he's incredibly capable!

The absolute best in the world!
"Sister Shanshan, I heard that Xiao Gangpao got the position of chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

"What happened?"

"Does he even deserve it? Does he even deserve it?"

Jing Tian was standing up for Lu Zhiyuan.

She felt that although her deceased husband was a bit of a character flaw, fickle, and always looking for mistresses... as a director, he was simply invincible from every angle!
In Jing Tian's mind, there are only two kinds of directors!
The first type is Lu Zhiyuan!
The second type is everyone else!
"The chief directors of the Spring Festival Gala are basically all based on seniority."

Zhao Shanshan offered an explanation, then said, "Besides, you know Yuan Ge's personality. Why would he care about something like this?"

"Aside from making blockbuster movies, look at this world, who can force him to do something he doesn't like?"

Being the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala is a great honor. But it's meaningless for Lu Zhiyuan to try and become the best director in history.

The greatest director in history deserves worldwide recognition!
Even if you raise your reputation to the highest level in the country, it won't help.

Moreover, the position of chief director of the Spring Festival Gala is mainly based on seniority... If Lu Zhiyuan is willing, he can take the position every year after he turns 40!

Because by the time he turns 40, most of the other big directors will already be over 70.

In terms of seniority, no one has more seniority than him!
What has Dilraba been up to lately?

Jing Tian wasn't particularly interested in news about Lu Zhiyuan.

Because once Lu Zhiyuan joins the film crew, he will be completely focused on making the movie, just like he'll vanish into thin air, and he certainly won't cause any trouble.

She always harbored resentment towards Dilraba, who had stolen her man!

She was determined to give Dilraba a good beating once she got the chance!
"She's very busy right now. Brother Yuan has entrusted her with managing everything in his company. With her level of education, how can she possibly handle all this?"

In front of Jing Tian, ​​Zhao Shanshan deliberately made a few sarcastic remarks about Dilraba.

"That damned guy trusts her."

Jing Tian's mouth felt a little sore. All these things were originally hers!

"Sister Shanshan, in the final scene of 'Your Wedding,' could you please have a few words with the woman's fiancé... and ask him to make a cameo appearance?"

Jing Tian was still unwilling to give up!
As Lu Zhiyuan is a thing of the past, she can't even recall how many beautiful memories she and Lu Zhiyuan shared, apart from filming movies and music videos.
It seems like only that one rainstorm on the Xi'an city wall!
But that rain wasn't a coincidence... it was a play she directed!

In that case, at least a wedding should be held!
In reality, it's impossible to make up for it. In the movie, Lu Zhiyuan has to give himself a grand wedding!

At least give yourself a good memory.

"This... Tian Tian, ​​I'm afraid he won't agree."

Zhao Shanshan felt very embarrassed.

How could Lu Zhiyuan possibly agree to such a thing?
is this necessary?

Even if Lu Zhiyuan agrees, Reba would never agree.

Jing Tian ignored her and looked at Zhao Shanshan pitifully: "Sister Shanshan, you have a way. Right? You're so cunning and treacherous."

Hearing this, Zhao Shanshan was speechless: "What are you saying, you brat? I'm clearly smart and beautiful!"

Actually, she still has a way.

However, she hoped that Jing Tian could let go, instead of remaining so stubbornly ignorant as she is now.

"Sister Shanshan, please~~ At least let me have a wedding with him. Otherwise, I won't die in peace!"

Jing Tian has already said that.

Zhao Shanshan sighed and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I'll try for you. If it really doesn't work out, don't force it. There are plenty of good men in the world..."

"No, I want him!"

Jing Tian shook her head repeatedly, her tone firm.

"You're really under his spell!"

Zhao Shanshan completely failed to understand Jing Tian's obsession with Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan is indeed very outstanding, handsome, and a good person.

Jing Tian complained all the time that Lu Zhiyuan was a bad person with many bad habits.

But Zhao Shanshan knew that Lu Zhiyuan had only one flaw... He couldn't tolerate anyone interfering with his pursuit of historical excellence.

Apart from this matter, Lu Zhiyuan is a very easy person to talk to.

"Sister Shanshan, I heard that Sotheby's auction house has recently gotten into some trouble!"

"They misjudged Caravaggio's 'The Conman' as a forgery and sold it to someone else for £41. Now, the painting has gone through many twists and turns and ended up in the Kimbell Museum."

"Recently, the Kimbell Museum of Art consulted many experts and confirmed that this is an authentic work that had been lost for three centuries! It is worth £1000 million."

"I reckon the former owner of that painting will definitely make a huge fuss about it!"

At this point, Jing Tian looked at Zhao Shanshan and said in a calm but firm tone, "I hope you can smooth things over between the two sides and bring that painting back to China!"

Caravaggio was the founder of the Baroque school of painting!

Each of his paintings is priceless, and not much cheaper than Monet's paintings.

However, in order to win back Lu Zhiyuan's favor, Jing Tian was willing to spend this money!

£2000 million, Gao Yuanyuan can afford it, but why can't she afford it?

Who are you looking down on?
That deadbeat Lu Zhiyuan left her an inheritance of at least several billion!
"I'll try my best."

Art collecting is a promising field.

Rich people like to play with these things.

Most importantly, these paintings are all unique in history, and the longer they are kept, the more priceless they become.

Jing Tian enjoys collecting art, which is a good thing.

It offers both elegance and the preservation of wealth.

It's much more reliable than speculating on real estate.

……

On Lu Zhiyuan's side.

Filming at the Sellafield nuclear power plant only took him two days.

Colin Firth and Tom Hiddleston are both excellent actors, among the best actors Lu Zhiyuan has ever worked with.

"Xiao Nan, how are you feeling?"

On the plane from England to Japan, Lu Zhiyuan kept Zhang Ruonan by his side and carefully inquired about her.

He would patiently answer any questions Zhang Ruonan had.

"Brother Yuan, I think I can do it."

At the beginning of filming, Zhang Ruonan had various problems, especially in her positioning, which was always a little off.

And it is this small detail that makes the lighting effects on the screen present a completely different feel.

In addition, newcomers often unconsciously look at the camera while filming.

This is a long-standing and difficult problem.

Therefore, at the beginning, Lu Zhiyuan did not give Zhang Ruonan too many tasks.

He believed that after half a month of living on set, Zhang Ruonan would get used to it all.

In a film crew, there are cameras everywhere.

She was used to everyone on set staring at her.

Most actors are sensitive at heart, but also thick-skinned.

Otherwise, how can one make a living as an actor?
However, Lu Zhiyuan hoped that Zhang Ruonan could be a little thicker-skinned.

After all, having thick skin means having a strong core and being undisturbed by others.

"Brother Yuan, I've never dared to speak loudly since I was a child. I'll try my best to learn this art of being shameless."

Zhang Ruonan felt that Lu Zhiyuan seemed to be trying to lead her astray.

What man would like a shameless woman?
At the very least, Lu Zhiyuan definitely wouldn't like it!
Gao Yuanyuan and Reba are both the kind of people who blush easily and feel shy... They are not thick-skinned at all.

“Brother Yuan, I’ll learn from you, okay? I feel that your spiritual core is stronger than anyone else’s.”

Zhang Ruonan felt that Lu Zhiyuan wasn't shameless.

He seemed to live in his own world, completely oblivious to everyone around him.

He treated everyone as an NPC, as if each person had an exclamation mark above their head, waiting for him to trigger a quest.

If no task is triggered, he simply ignores everyone and goes about his own work.

"As long as you think it's useful."

Lu Zhiyuan thought about it and didn't object: "Try more when you're young, and you'll always find the path that suits you."

"Ah."

Zhang Ruonan nodded repeatedly.

From now on, I'm going to be your kind!

……

It also took 14 hours to fly from the UK to Japan.

Traveling the world is not enjoyable at all.

All I felt was fatigue and boredom.

Apart from Lu Zhiyuan.

He is always busy.

During the 14-hour flight, Lu Zhiyuan spent half the time on the plane sketching and drawing, creating compositions and lighting effects for Zhang Ruonan's iconic scenes.

"Brother Yuan, am I really going to jump off the plane?"

Although she had practiced skydiving, Zhang Ruonan was still somewhat uneasy.

This is too crazy!

She had just been thinking of learning from Lu Zhiyuan, but such extreme obsession is something most people can't emulate.

“If you don’t want to jump, I can find a stunt double. I won’t force you. However, if you jump yourself, you’ll get a lot of close-ups.”

If a body double is used, Lu Zhiyuan can only be filmed from behind.

The entire film, all its emotions, and all the characters' entanglements will be perfectly presented in these few short seconds of footage.

"Brother Yuan, I was just kidding. I've practiced for so long, all for this moment, to let the whole world see my brilliance!"

For a fleeting moment, Zhang Ruonan noticed a hint of disappointment in Lu Zhiyuan's eyes.

She immediately changed her mind.

She might not die from skydiving; she could even create a world-famous scene and leave her mark on film history.

But if she doesn't jump, Lu Zhiyuan will definitely be very disappointed in her, and his little darling will immediately be replaced by someone else.

Having enjoyed Lu Zhiyuan's meticulous care and thoughtfulness, what if, in the next second, Lu Zhiyuan left all of that to someone else?

Zhang Ruonan knew that her mindset would become extremely distorted!

This wasn't something she imagined.

Just look at Jing Tian and you'll know.

Jealousy can ruin a woman.

"Xiaonan, your eyes were so determined just now. It was beautiful. Your gaze was intense, full of conviction and spirit!"

I like the feeling you exude.

After praising him a few times, Lu Zhiyuan felt that such words were too empty.

After a moment of contemplation, he gave Zhang Ruonan a very positive evaluation: "There are many famous goddesses in Western mythology."

“Aphrodite is too beautiful, Athena is too sharp, Hestia is too domestic… In my eyes, you are just like the goddess of spring, the goddess of seeds [Persephone].

"It can bring new life, hope, and a light, life-giving force to the world."

After Lu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and gently touched the hair on both sides of Zhang Ruonan's forehead.

After finishing, he examined it carefully for a while before nodding in satisfaction.

"After you get off the plane, have the stylist curl the hair on both sides of your head."

"Your forehead looks a bit wide. Covering it with small curls will make your face look more delicate and cute."

Lu Zhiyuan admired it for a while and nodded slightly.

Then, he finally felt a little tired, put on his eye mask, and went to sleep.

After Lu Zhiyuan fell asleep, Zhang Ruonan blinked rapidly a few times, then took a deep breath, and two blushes involuntarily appeared on her cheeks.

A few seconds later, she suddenly felt her heart racing and her mouth dry.

She had never experienced this feeling before.

Like being drunk, my head is foggy, but I feel comfortable and warm inside. I have a sense of security and an intense longing.

She knew she was doomed!
Mom, I'm so sorry!

I was flying at an altitude of 12000 feet, the closest I've ever been to a god.

Originally, I wanted to make a wish for you: that you would always be healthy.

But now, I'm changing my wish.

……

A few hours later.

The plane landed in Tokyo, Japan.

Lu Zhiyuan and his group went directly to the Fukushima nuclear power plant to film.

On the way, Lu Zhiyuan found the second female lead, Kitagawa Keiko: "Kitagawa, I still can't make a final decision on how to portray your character."

"I'll give you two choices."

"Your first choice is to become a fighter pilot, a representative of the hardliners! In contrast, the Japanese government is extremely bureaucratic on the Godzilla issue!"

"I will mold you into a valiant Valkyrie!"

"The second option is that you will become a female scientist in the Monarch Organization, dedicating yourself to the study of ancient Titans for many years! You will even discover the problems at the Fukushima nuclear power plant early on, but choose not to report them, all in order to study the evolutionary path of the MUTO!"

"This character is somewhat similar to Dr. Li, whom I play. The only difference is that you're on the Lawful side, while I'm on the Chaotic side!"

In the former case, Keiko Kitagawa will use the Japanese government as a point of comparison.

The corruption and incompetence of the Japanese government at crucial moments serve to highlight her fighting prowess, decisiveness, and fortitude as a Valkyrie!
This is a very positive character.

If her character is portrayed well, she can leave a deep impression.

However, the weakness is that this storyline is a side story!
The latter, the character Keiko Kitagawa, will be directly compared to the villain Lu Zhiyuan.

Her acting skills are probably not manic enough and cannot compare to Lu Zhiyuan's. It's highly likely that after filming is complete, her character will appear very mediocre.

Unless Lu Zhiyuan has her sacrifice herself in the movie, creating a tragic aesthetic for her, it might forcefully increase the audience's impression of her!
However, this makes it difficult for Keiko Kitagawa to reprise her role if there is a sequel!

"Director Lu, could I be a female scientist from the Monarch organization? But I'm also a fighter pilot?"

Keiko Kitagawa is quite clever.

She thought both roles were excellent.

The role of a fighter pilot sounds really exciting.

The scientist character from the Monarchy organization can directly clash with Lu Zhiyuan... perhaps their love-hate relationship will continue throughout the series.

From a certain perspective, the exciting scenes between the main characters in the movie are also a highlight!
Lu Zhiyuan is the absolute king of this genre when it comes to playing characters like mentally ill people in chaotic factions who want to destroy the world.

As long as she becomes Lu Zhiyuan's rival, the audience will never forget her!
"Isn't it a bit strange for scientists to fly fighter jets?"

Lu Zhiyuan knew that Kitagawa Keiko wanted a solution that would satisfy both sides, but this setup didn't seem extreme enough.

He likes to make every character in his movies extreme!
Keiko Kitagawa smiled and said, "A military scientist, another genius, who can fly a fighter jet, is that not surprising?"

"Okay! That's it!"

Keiko Kitagawa is only the second female lead, and her screen time won't be much.

Lu Zhiyuan expanded her storyline, mainly to add more scenes from the Japanese side.

Otherwise, if it's all Chinese and British actors, is this still a Godzilla movie?

The despair of the Japanese is also a major highlight of the film!

"By the way, Kitagawa, did you ask Nagano Hiroshi to play the Japanese scientist in 'Godzilla'? Did he agree?"

Hiroshi Nagano played the human form of Ultraman Tiga, Daigo Mato!

Lu Zhiyuan specially designed a character for Nagano Hiroshi...

As Japan's chief scientist, Hiroshi Nagano will have a classic line: "Japan doesn't need Godzilla! Let's do what we can! As human beings!"

This dialogue is a slight homage to Ultraman Tiga!
Humanity, have faith in the light!

There's bound to be some sentimentality in the Godzilla movies. However, most people in the world probably don't have any sentimental attachment to Godzilla.

Many people have a fondness for Ultraman.

"Director Lu, please rest assured!"

"Not only will Hiroshi Nagano be performing, but we've also extended invitations to all the other Ultraman human form actors!"

"Most people have agreed to make cameo appearances in this movie!"

Keiko Kitagawa herself has no face.

However, in the entire Japanese film and television industry, who dares to disrespect Yoshimitsu Sakano?

"That's good!"

"Let's try to finish filming the Japanese scenes within a week!"

"I can't wait to get back and work on the special effects!"

Lu Zhiyuan relied on his extensive network of connections and the unwavering support from Kitagawa Keiko.

He was absolutely certain that his version of Godzilla would become the most unique monster disaster film in history!
There are too many gimmicks!
As for the plot and special effects... there won't be any problems at all!
"Director Lu, in the scene where the angels descend in Los Angeles, please include me."

"How about I descend upon Los Angeles as a Japanese person...?"

Keiko Kitagawa has a pretty good idea.

In reality, how could Japanese people appear in the skies over the United States like gods, or descend to Los Angeles like angels?
Los Angeles, the City of Angels!

The meaning of the scene in Lu Zhiyuan's movie where an angel descends upon Los Angeles is crystal clear!

"Kitagawa, I'm sorry, the main storyline has been completely finalized."

Lu Zhiyuan certainly wouldn't give her the chance to show off!

In this world, the only one qualified to be America's savior and to descend upon Los Angeles like God... is the Chinese!
Japanese people, no way!

Despite being rejected, Keiko Kitagawa still greatly admired Lu Zhiyuan.

She looked at Lu Zhiyuan meaningfully: "Director Lu, no other Asian director besides you would dare to film this kind of scene! Even if they did, it would probably be cut out during editing!"

This is what status in the martial arts world is all about!
There are only a handful of directors in the world who are qualified to be considered the greatest of all time!
Lu Zhiyuan certainly has the right to be willful.

Moreover, most Americans wouldn't be that sensitive.

After all, in Lu Zhiyuan's movie, the Chinese actress Dilraba can even conquer the Perseus constellation, which is hundreds of millions of light-years away!

His films are always grand, magnificent, and boundless!
Only a country like Japan, which has been constantly suppressed by the United States, has such a sensitive sense of self-esteem... that Keiko Kitagawa could see at a glance what this scene meant!
"His Great Day of Anger"!
Dr. Lee's furious, great day... destroyed Tokyo!

The great day of Godzilla's wrath... destroyed Los Angeles!
As the second female lead, Keiko Kitagawa was also one of the first people to be exposed to the entire film's concept, so she naturally knew what meanings were hidden in these film scenes.

However, as long as Lu Zhiyuan doesn't admit it, no one else can say anything.

Even more so, Toho and Universal Pictures had to help Lu Zhiyuan suppress those messy remarks in the Japanese and American markets!
As long as movies can make money, the opinions of ordinary people are completely meaningless!

However, he is really willful.

The entire movie was conceived just to film this one scene!
