Transmigrated into the body of a tycoon's son's ex-boyfriend

Just stay away from it.

As long as he doesn't appear in front of the protagonist again, he should be able to avoid that kind of ending.

At least Lu's mother did not die; she successfully underwent surgery and is recovering.

This is already the greatest blessing God has given him.

Lu Yu is now extremely grateful.

I'm glad I didn't agree to get back together with Song Xijin back then, so I didn't get a legitimate identity.

There is no public relationship.

He knew what the answer was even though Song Xijin didn't give it immediately.

Otherwise, he would have been dumped again.

Very undignified.

Fortunately, apart from his parents, no one knew that he had returned to Beijing.

The next morning, Lu Yu went to the hospital to settle the bill and received the transfer certificate from the doctor.

He carefully kept the follow-up rehabilitation plan for his mother, so he could read it slowly on the way home.

As for the expenses that Song Xijin had previously paid, Lu Yu had the hospital refund them.

His current earnings plus savings are just enough to pay off all his expenses.

Before leaving, Lu Yu sent the gifts she had bought to Song Xijin's company via express delivery.

This is all he can repay now.

As for Song Xijin's investment in the "With Immortals" production team, Lu Yu is confident in the show.

Shen Yanzhou's acting was solid, Fan Siyao and the other actors were also very reliable, and Director Chen was a perfectionist.

This drama will definitely be profitable.

Song Xijin will most likely be able to earn back some of that 100 million.

That way, he wouldn't owe Song Xijin anything.

Lu Yu first sent his parents back to their hometown and settled them in before calling Shen Yanzhou.

Shen Yanzhou had just finished filming, and his voice was still a little breathless.

"Lu Yu? That's rare. You took the initiative to call me. You've returned to Beijing?"

"Teacher Shen, I'd like to give that movie you mentioned last time a try," Lu Yu said directly.

Shen Yanzhou paused for a moment while wiping his sweat.

He draped the towel over his shoulder, found a relatively quiet corner, and said in a more serious tone, "Sure, but the audition location for that movie is a bit remote, on the border of Yunnan Province in the southwest. It will take several hours by bus to get there after you get off the plane."

"The conditions there were very harsh, nothing like what you experienced on the set of 'With Immortals'."

"Let me make this clear first. I'll make connections for you, but I can't guarantee you'll get the role. That director has very high standards. He might rather not be able to find a male lead and keep delaying filming than settle for someone else."

Several established actors in the industry auditioned, but he rejected them all. And even if you do get the job, you can't leave the set for three months; it's a closed-off filming period, and you can't take on any other work.

"For the past three months, you've been basically isolated from the world, with little to no cell phone signal. Can you handle that?"

"Okay." Lu Yu replied without hesitation.

"Okay, I like your spirit." Shen Yanzhou's tone was full of encouragement and a hint of admiration.

He had seen too many young people in this industry who wanted to take shortcuts, but Lu Yu was different.

He deliberately chose the most difficult path, taking each step steadily and firmly.

Shen Yanzhou held the phone between his shoulder and shoulder, using his free hand to scroll through his backup phone's contacts. He found the director's number, copied it, and spoke as he did so.

"I'll send you your information first, and then I'll give you their contact information so you can connect with them yourselves."

He has a bit of a strange temper. Don't be too polite when you talk to him, he'll find it annoying. Just say what you mean, be direct, that's what he likes.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Shen." Lu Yu hung up the phone and soon received Shen Yanzhou's business card on WeChat.

The other person's WeChat name is "Xun Qiu", which should be their real name.

The profile picture is a back view of a man with a small braid standing behind a camera. He is very thin, slightly hunched, and wearing an ordinary gray T-shirt and jeans.

He looked somewhat disheveled.

Once the other party accepted the friend request, Lu Yu immediately opened the chat box and sent a message to them:

"Director Xun, I'm Lu Yu. I was recommended by Professor Shen Yanzhou to audition."

The other party just accepted my friend request and replied quickly after seeing the message, without any further pleasantries.

He sent me a single line of text.

"Okay, just come over here, I'll send you the address."

Xun Qiu and Shen Yanzhou have some personal relationship. When Shen Yanzhou first debuted, he acted in an art film directed by Xun Qiu.

The two worked together very well and have maintained contact over the years.

Shen Yanzhou understood Xun Qiu's style of doing things and his requirements for actors.

Xun Qiu selects actors based on one thing: fame, popularity, and connections.

When you stand in front of the camera, is this the kind of role he wants?

Therefore, Shen Yanzhou wouldn't just push someone over randomly.

This film has been delayed for two months because the start date has been postponed again and again due to the inability to find a suitable male lead.

The crew members were getting impatient, and the investors were starting to complain.

If this drags on any longer, the authorities will probably get upset.

"The Search for Addiction" is a project supported by the Southwest Anti-Drug Bureau, not a purely commercial film.

Lu Yu had heard a brief introduction to the script from Shen Yanzhou over the phone.

The male protagonist is a rookie narcotics police officer who has just graduated from police academy. After being assigned to the southwestern border, his first major mission is to go undercover.

He was to disguise himself as a petty thug who had fled from out of town and infiltrate a drug-producing and trafficking village hidden deep in the mountains.

Understand the other party's operating model and online network.

The undercover operation lasted for two years.

For two years, he almost completely cut off contact with the outside world, walking on the edge of a knife every day, constantly facing the danger of his identity being exposed.

Finally, he successfully cooperated with the surrounding police forces to destroy a huge drug manufacturing and trafficking den.

During the operation, they were forcibly injected with high-purity drugs.

After being rescued, he endured six months of drug rehabilitation, crawling out of hell step by step before finally seeing the light of day again.

This person's life was a process of being crushed and then piecing himself back together.

In the early undercover scenes, actors need to portray the tension of walking on a knife's edge and the fear of being exposed at any moment.

At the same time, he also needs to portray the sincerity and conviction of a young policeman.

It's not that he's not afraid of death; he just feels there are things more important than death.

The later scenes depicting drug rehabilitation were even more challenging.

The actors need to lose at least 20 pounds within a month, to the point of being skin and bones.

The performance should convey the excruciating pain of drug withdrawal, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at the body, and the madness and despair of withdrawal symptoms.

And the struggle to grasp the last shred of will to survive in the deepest darkness.

Several well-known actors in the industry turned down this role.

The pay is low; it's an official support project with a limited budget, so they can't offer the tens of millions in pay typical of commercial films.

The final box office won't be very high.

Films with realistic themes like these aren't made for box office success; they're made to fulfill social responsibility.

Moreover, the filming conditions were extremely harsh. The filming took place in a closed environment for three months, with the crew working in the deep mountains and forests every day, where there was no cell phone signal.
