Chapter 209: It is easy to be a saint, but difficult to be a human being

"Brother Lou's unique skill is to film the real monk. If the result is not good, we can just find a professional actor to re-shoot it. It only takes one day to shoot, it's not difficult." Lao Zhou said easily.

Lu Wenyuan:
Good, good, good! It really is an amazing "unique skill"!

It sounds very reasonable indeed.

He stared at Lao Zhou with his eyes wide open, as if saying: Are you making fun of me?
Your uncle's!

Bai Youlou and his gang are all black-hearted!

Their heads are filled with evil tastes!

I was really teased badly.

Old Zhou spread his hands, looking very innocent, and what he said were Bai Youlou's exact words.

I'm not lying~
From a film perspective, this doesn't seem very artistic. What does it mean to change it if it doesn't work?
But from the perspective of commercial film shooting, there is nothing wrong with this statement!

Very practical "secret recipe!"

What Lu Wenyuan didn't expect was that the preparations before the official shooting today were extremely long, but when the shooting officially started, it was extremely short and was completed in a flash.

Everyone can see that Bai Youlou attaches great importance to this scene.

Look, while he was communicating with the monks, Wu Muqun even went to give a speech to the large group of people, which took quite a long time.

The lighting and props on the scene were extremely busy.

Long Ziqiang sat on the chair early to get the hang of it. His role today was to die.

The original script wanted him to die in the hospital, but after his character was integrated with religious elements, Bai Youlou changed the way of death.

For the sake of drama and impact, plausibility is reduced.
A terminally ill patient who is about to die does not lie in the hospital, but instead takes a train back to his hometown?

Is it reasonable?
It's unreasonable! But Bai Youlou doesn't care.

Of course, it's not completely nonsense.

After all, Chinese people have an obsession with returning to their hometowns. Not only do they want to go back to their hometowns when they are dying, even if they really die, they want to take their ashes back.

The element of going home is almost engraved in the genes of Chinese people.

In the end, all the preparations were not in vain.
-
"You're here"

"I heard you were going back to your hometown, so I gave you a ride. How did it turn out like this?"

“There is no medicine to take.”

As if he felt that his life was about to come to an end, Lu Shouyi gave Lu Yong an ugly smile. It was extremely bright, but it looked like he was crying.

Cheng Yong pursed his lips, and after a long while, he could only say, "It's easy to be a saint, but it's not easy to be a human being."

"I don't blame you. I've been a Guan Gong. I understand."

".Do you still believe in Guan Gong now?"

In response to this question, Lu Shouyi just smiled and said, "I'll see you again when I get back."

Cheng Yong, who had no idea what to say, picked up the thermos cup in the hand of Lv Shouyi's wife and said, "I'll get you a cup of hot water."

"Thanks."

Picking up the thermos, Cheng Yong deliberately found a place that was the farthest away to get hot water, and lingered there for a long time, smoking several cigarettes.

After he got a cup of water and went back, he found that something was wrong with the crowd's movements.

"It seems someone has died."

"Dead at the train station? What happened?"

"He must have died of illness. He looked like he was ill."

"."

Amidst the various discussions, he also heard a woman crying.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat and I quickly pushed through the crowd and moved forward.

Then he stood there in a daze, unable and daring to get any closer.

Of course it was Lu Shouyi who died. He was never able to return to his hometown and never saw Guan Gong again.

At this moment, a monk slowly came over and stepped forward. He did not show any taboo or fear towards the dead like the surrounding onlookers.

Instead, he gently held Lu Shouyi's hand which was gradually losing temperature, bowed, and chanted sutras beside him to pray for his soul to be reborn.

The monk is neither happy nor sad, calm and composed, but he makes people feel a deep compassion.

It was as if at this moment, the Buddha suddenly appeared.

It is clearer and more moving than the tall Buddha statues plated with gold foil in the temple.

At this moment, the train station, which had been a bit noisy, gradually became quiet.

The sunlight shines through the glass of the train station dome, and at this moment Cheng Yong stands on the dividing line between sunlight and shadow.

Hesitant and afraid to move forward.

He was in the sunshine, and the dead Lu Shouyi and the monk were in the shadows.

Lü Shouyi, who was already dead and lying in the shadow, still had a smile on his face, while Cheng Yong, who was standing in the sun, could not even smile even though the wall behind him was white.

At this point, the art is complete.

The next shot is Cheng Yong taking the initiative to walk into the "shadows", find Huang Mao, and say, "I'm selling drugs again."

This shot was shot several days ago, but when it was connected with the current plot, scene and composition, Lu Wenyuan felt his scalp tingling and was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

Just based on these two scenes and the transition, he knew the movie was a success.

It’s worth staying for two more days after taking it!

The filming process of this movie is not fancy at all, it is a straightforward storytelling type, at least that's the case for most of Lu Wenyuan's scenes.

He didn't see Bai Youlou showing off his skills much.

But this part was so convincing that he couldn't help but accept it.

It can be considered a unique skill.

Not totally fooled.

"Click! Passed!"

The voice of Wu Mugun, who was operating the camera, seemed a little hoarse, but after this voice, the crew suddenly came "alive".

The last one has also passed.

But compared to the excitement before the filming, everyone's mood at this moment is weird.

"Whoo~"

Even Bai Youlou took a breath and gave himself a few seconds to relax, instead of looking at the shooting materials immediately.

There are not many lines in this scene, but it is extremely difficult.

Long Ziqiang only needs to play the dying Lu Shouyi well, but for the character of Cheng Yong, this scene is the core of his complete transformation and the key to his becoming the "Drug God".

So you must not act too superficially, making people feel that you are taking it as a joke.

In this scene, if any one of the extras, the monks, or Bai Youlou performs poorly, the whole scene may collapse.

But that's how good "luck" is.

Not one crossed.

In other words, Bai Youlou might have been the only one acting on the scene just now. The extras were playing the role of the "spectacular crowd" and their reactions were representative of all kinds of people, which were realistic enough.

And this monk has superb acting skills. If he were to enter the showbiz industry as an actor, he would win an award just for his performance.

However, if the other person really enters the entertainment industry, it would be impossible for him to "act" out this feeling.

"Brother Lou, the money has been donated and the master is gone."

"Master? Didn't you call him a bald donkey before?"

Lao Zhou looked embarrassed. What can I say? Didn’t I learn this bad mouthing from you?

"Hey, I suddenly remembered that I have to go to 'donate money' in two days!"

Bai Youlou slapped his thigh hard, indicating that he was careless!
Wasn’t Qiu Yanran’s celebrity charity dinner just for donating money?

Lao Zhou has something to say about this.

"Brother Lou, if you are so dishonest, how can you do two things with one dollar?

"What did I say in my lines? It's easy to be a saint, but hard to be a human being. Do you think it's easy for me to be a shameless bastard? I feel very condemned in my heart." "Then did you feel condemned in your heart when you were flirting with girls?" Lao Zhou said speechlessly.

"Condemned! Strongly condemned!"

Bai Youlou said that he must be tormented inside as he flirted with so many girls.

But there is no way. Have you ever heard of refining one’s mind in the mortal world?
This is all for the purpose of achieving the right result.

Before I could talk to Lao Zhou any more, Lu Wenyuan showed up again.

"Brother Lou, please teach me some of your experience with the eye contact you just did!"

The calls of "Brother Lou" became more and more natural. Obviously, Lu Wenyuan had gradually turned into Bai Youlou.
Look at his somewhat excited face, which is rosy~
Hey, boy, you would look good in women's clothes, right?

Bai Youlou gave Lao Zhou a look: This is your dish.

Lao Zhou: Get out!

He turned around and went to give Long Ziqiang a red envelope.

According to the crew's rules, when playing a dead character, you have to give a red envelope to ward off bad luck.

There is also a saying that the money in the red envelope cannot be kept and must be spent today.

"Aqiang, you can treat me to some good drinks tonight. It's a good opportunity to spend the money in the red envelope and buy some good wine!"

Long Ziqiang thought it was reasonable, and wondered if there was a bank card in this thin red envelope, otherwise it would be enough for a drink.

When I opened it, I saw a one-dollar bill.

Cow breaking!

It has been a long time since he last saw a one-dollar piece of paper and pen. It is really not easy for Lao Zhou to find such a new one!

Did he spend the money on drinking tonight? He could just turn left and go to the supermarket to buy a pack of napkins.
-
A few days later, Bai Youlou, who had been staying in the crew all the time, returned to the world of fame and fortune.

It feels a bit like a lifetime ago.

"This time, Xiaoling's celebrity charity night attracted a lot of attention, and it was even live-streamed online."

Cow breaking!

After hearing what Liu Manli said, Bai Youlou couldn't help but admire this woman, Mo Qiuling. The fact that she could create such a big fuss in her first charity night was enough to prove how wide her network of contacts was.

He hasn't paid much attention to the news on the Internet recently, but the celebrity charity night is indeed a big deal.

In addition to the recorded broadcast on TV and live broadcast on the Internet platform, Mo Qiuling also announced the list of participating celebrities.

There are so many that they can’t fit into one Weibo post.

Show off your connections in a strong way.

With so many celebrities, it naturally attracts a lot of attention, and the discussion online is also quite high.

Even the scandal between Bai Youlou and An Luning was suppressed.

Just hold it down for a little while.

Because sharp-eyed netizens quickly discovered that Bai Youlou and An Luning’s names were both on this celebrity charity night.

That slut Mo Qiuling even deliberately wrote their names together.

The "evil" intention is evident from this.

He didn't even try to hide his intention to ride on the popularity.

It really works.

Quite a lot of people were interested in the first time they appeared together after the scandal was exposed.

But Bai Youlou felt very confused. He had asked Sister Hong before, and Sister Hong said that An Luning would not go.

Why did you suddenly want to participate in this?

An Luning: I didn’t want to go at first, but after you went there, I wanted to go!
But this was not good news for Bai Youlou, and he also had a bad premonition.

It's not because of the scandal.

Liu Manli was going to support her best friend, so naturally she would not leave out Jiang Yuanchu, the top girl in her company.

Not to mention the first sister, she even called the second sister Nanazi, giving enough face to her best friend.

In fact, there were quite a few people going to Bai Youlou's side. Except for Lao Zhou, all the "veterans" of the company showed up.

Zhang Xiaorong had done a favor for the other party before, so she had to go.

Long Ziqiang's words were just to join in the fun, as he had nothing to do anyway.

In addition, there were several other girls that Bai Youlou knew, and they were all on Mo Qiuling’s “connection list”.

Of course, getting together does not necessarily lead to a Shura field, and Bai Youlou is not afraid of this.

But he did something very stupid.

This charity dinner will include an auction session.

Mo Qiuling asked him if he had any "idle" and valuable items that could be auctioned.

The other party didn't want to take advantage of Bai Youlou, but rather to give face to Bai Youlou.

But not everyone is qualified to donate things for auction.

But Bai Youlou is so stingy.

How could it be possible for him to have both the attributes of being idle and valuable at the same time?

But he eventually donated the stuff.

In his opinion it was totally worthless, but Mo Qiuling was ecstatic.

Film No. 25.

The main purpose of this thing is to convey a meaning. It is definitely not worth money. Anyone who buys it is an idiot.

So Bai Youlou decided to be the idiot himself and buy it back with some money, just to show his support for Mo Qiuling.

But at this moment he quickly realized that he might still be too young.

Of course, this thing is worthless to others.

But for some people, they might really be willing to spend money to buy it!

That's right, I'm talking about girls.

Just look, after mentioning this matter to Liu Manli, Bai Youlou clearly saw that this woman raised her eyebrows obviously.

Then he said, as if very "enthusiastically": "I'll buy your stuff for you, so that you don't get embarrassed if no one bids."

Bai Youlou: Thank you for thinking about me!

"No, I can buy it myself."

"Oh~"

Liu Manli's answer was extremely perfunctory, which made Bai Youlou feel a little uneasy.

I quickly asked Zhang Xiaorong again: "You are so frugal, you definitely wouldn't spend money on this thing, right?"

Zhang Xiaorong shook her head, indicating that she was not very frugal. Girls, as a matter of fact, sometimes had a stronger desire to spend.

Bai Youlou:
An Luning didn't even need to ask, this rich girl would probably jump up and spend money!

Bai Youlou, who regretted his decision, naturally wanted to "withdraw" the film No. 25.

He didn't want to have so many people from the entertainment industry, plus so many viewers watching the live broadcast, watch a unique "jealousy show" in such an occasion.

As a result, Mo Qiuling withdrew his withdrawal.

As soon as Bai Youlou sent the message of regret, the woman posted another Weibo, announcing some of the items to be auctioned in this charity auction.

The No. 25 film was clearly on the list.

Then she "belatedly" replied to Bai Youlou's message more than ten minutes later: "Ah? No~ I've already announced it, it's a bit inappropriate to change it now."

This stinky woman!

Bai Youlou saw through her tricks, but there was nothing he could do to her.

ding dong~
At this time, a message came.

Jiang Yuanchu's.

"You're donating stuff too? I'll help you raise the price then."
