Top Dupe CH 005 Most Unlucky Film Crew

That afternoon, Luo Yu sent the necklace, scarf and shoes to the buyer.

Since they were in the same city, the shirt he sent in the morning had already been received, and they confirmed receipt of the goods in less than ten minutes. Luo Yu received a considerable sum of money in an instant.

"This person is really interesting." Luo Yu touched his chin.

In the next three days, Luo Yu would exercise at the gym and look for things to sell on the online platform at home.

He wouldn’t know if he didn’t look for it, but when he looked through all his things he discovered that he had accumulated quite a lot of inventory when he was popular, but he never paid attention to the brand names and didn’t know that these things were actually not cheap.

The Mr. Bankroller who "established integrity" was a regular customer at Luo You online shop account. Luo Yu wanted to ask him several times if he was his fan.

If so, he wanted to say sorry to Mr. Bankroller for ending up like this. It was likely that Mr. Bankroller would be embarrassed to even tell others that he was a fan of Luo Yu.

Just when Luo Yu was immersed in online selling, Sister Cui called.

"Luo Yu! Did you read the headlines this morning? Lin Qiao, the leading actor in "Counterattack", was arrested for drunk driving. His attitude at the time was very bad! Don't even mention being the leading actor, he probably won't be able to act at all anymore!"

Luo Yu took out the milk from the refrigerator unhurriedly, "I know, this means changing the male lead."

"Yes, changing the male lead is a big deal! If they drag it on, the drama might become obsolete!" Sister Cui said with an annoyed expression, "If I had known, I wouldn't have signed you for this role! Otherwise, you wouldn't be stuck here because of the contract. Unable to go up or down, and not convenient to receive other work!”

This news was the same as what Luo Yu remembered, and the subsequent development should not deviate too much.

"Sister Cui, don't worry. The new leading actor will be found soon." Luo Yu poured the milk into the bowl and sprinkled some cereal.

"I hope so. You also said that He Mu will come to compete for your role? He would be out of his mind to compete, wouldn't he?"

At this moment, He Mu, the so-called top star and perpetual hot search resident, was lying on the sofa, looking at the number one hot search ranking, smiling so much that the corners of his mouth reached to his ears.

"Come look! Lin Qiao's drunk driving hit the headlines! How can that lame drama "Counterattack" bebfilmed now without the leading actor?"

His agent walked up to him and put the peeled fruit on the coffee table, "So, it was wise of me to reject that cannon fodder role, right? Even if we want to film a mainstream film, we have to find a big production and a big team. This kind of drama, even if you are paid tens of millions to make a guest appearance, there is no need. This drama has no hot topic, it just wants to suck your popularity and your blood."

He Mu pursed his lips and said unhappily: "But for a real big production, the director must choose me. Last time I auditioned for a spy drama directed by Lin Yue, and it was even a small role. Director Lin nitpicked at my line skills and won't choose me…. Even when our Dijun Media CEO Gao personally stepped in and said that I can practice the lines to be better, and if not there is still dubbing... Director Lin didn’t even give him face, saying that the other actors all use their original voices, and it is impossible to just let me do the dubbing alone... Lin Yue looks so amiable, but why is he so stubborn!”

The agent smiled and said: "Director Lin is a real big shot. The spy drama was still in the midst of casting but it was already slotted for C Channel even before the roles were selected. So he is under a lot of pressure and is also afraid that if he opens a back door for you, the news will spread. This is neither good for him, nor for you. There are so many big names in that drama, and you are acting with a group of acting masters. No matter how good your acting is, you will still be criticized by the anti-fans on the Internet. So bother to endure all of that? "

"But Gu Xiaowei can play the leading role in it? Didn't he rely on his looks to get traffic when he first debuted? Why is he now known as a professional actor while I am always laughed at whenever my acting skills are mentioned." He Mu said, upset.

"Gu Xiaowei... Although he made his debut based on his good looks, he is very independent and Xinghan Pictures can't control him. Moreover, he has experienced many ups and downs. He has been an extra on a set, and ate three-yuan box lunches. You had it much smoother than him. As an agent, I have to admit that he has a unique vision in selecting scripts and has never acted in a bad drama. Although not every film he chooses may be a big production, it is guaranteed to be excellent. Also he can settle down and hone his acting skills, and he has accumulated a lot of good reputation. Xinghan Pictures seems not to be in a hurry to squeeze his worth either. You two are simply of different routes."

He Mu showed a hint of worry, "I feel like a firework, no matter how brilliant it is, it only lasts for a moment. But people like Gu Xiaowei can flow slowly and stay fresh over time."

Gu Xiaowei said that he won’t act in idol dramas, and he truly never acted in an idol drama.

He said he would not participate in variety shows, and he had never appeared in a variety show so far.

He said he would not accept any endorsements, and despite major luxury brands inundating Xinghan Pictures with calls, he had still not been seen on any promotional posters.

As his agent said just now, Gu Xiaowei was not in any hurry to make money, and he never buys hot searches and does marketing, but once one of his dramas starts airing or his movie appears in theaters, it would definitely be booked for a spot on the hot search.

The real top star should be like him. He didn't care about fame, reputation or prosperity. He stood high and aloof, looking at the prosperity of the four seasons in the entertainment circle while above him the sky was filled with brilliant stars.

"His spy drama has been finished for two months. I wonder what his next drama will be about. Can you help me pay attention?" He Mu asked his agent.

"Of course, of course. He is taking a rest now. Isn't there a rumor in the circle that the deeper he gets into a role, the harder it is for him to get out? He must be adjusting his condition. He probably won't take on a new drama so soon. Don't worry about participating in your variety show. I will keep an eye on all the news for you."

The agent said in a coaxing tone.

In fact, over the past few years, the agent had already understood that Gu Xiaowei was He Mu's white moonlight, and the kind who could only be seen from a distance but not get close.

He Mu wanted to cooperate with Gu Xiaowei many times, but the directors of the works chosen by Gu Xiaowei were very strict. Even if he finally arranged a role, he still couldn't act opposite Gu Xiaowei.

And He Mu's worries were never wrong.

He Mu was a consumable product, while Gu Xiaowei not only maintained his value but also had unlimited room for appreciation.

The crew of "Counterattack" truly had a thorny fate. After the incident involving the male protagonist Lin Qiao, the heroine Li Lanyun also received a better invitation from another script and terminated her contract with the crew of "Counterattack".

Now that the male and female protagonists were gone, Director Wang was very anxious. He wanted to discuss it with Li Lanyun again, but just when he was planning to he fell down the stairs, injured his lumbar spine, and ended up in the hospital.

#Counterattacktheunluckiestcrew# had become a hot search topic.

This made Sister Cui so anxious that she almost cried.

"Luo Yu, I'm sorry for making you sign such an unlucky drama just for a minor role... The producers and investors in the circle are a bit superstitious. If they knew you were an actor in this unlucky drama...and won't give you any roles in the future, what will we do?"

Luo Yu remained calm and continued to sweat on the treadmill.

After a few days of not eating junk food and paying attention to protein supplements as well as exercise, he felt that his body coordination and muscle strength were back, and his condition was much better.

"It's okay, don't think about it too much. Have a good sleep... I'm guessing I won't be able to play the role of Bai Ying so easily. There may be an audition next week."

"Audition? The crew is about to be disbanded, what else is there to audition for?"

Luo Yu closed his eyes and replayed the plot of "Counterattack" he had seen in his previous life in his mind. Although it was a long time ago, the leading actor's performance was still unforgettable to him. It was just a pity that the actor who played Bai Ying at that time was far inferior to the leading actor in terms of aura and failed to match the other person's acting.

"Someone else will take over." Luo Yu smiled and reassured his agent, "Because this drama is scheduled for C Channel."

"Then if the cast is changed, the crew will probably replace you."

"En… although there are certain variables, I am fairly confident in myself."

Sister Cui only thought that Luo Yu was trying to comfort her, and continued to contact other crews to see if there were any roles that suited him.

He Mu looked at today's hot searches with satisfaction. Two makeup artists were doing the final touches on his makeup. The stylist took a few necklaces and held them up to his neck. The whole thing was like getting ready for a red carpet.

The agent came over and said, "My little ancestor, you are already good-looking enough, why are you putting on makeup again?"

He Mu patted his chest and said: "Tonight's dinner party, I heard that Gu Xiaowei will also come. Of course I want to leave a good impression on him. Is my makeup too heavy? If it's too heavy for a dinner party it will give people the impression of being too artificial, right?"

"It's not heavy, not heavy. Believe me, your makeup is not heavy at all! This is the daily makeup of an artist. Let's go to the banquet quickly. CEO Gao and other investors will also be there, don't keep them waiting."

"I'm still..." He Mu was not satisfied with the shadow on his side face. He always felt that he looked a little dirty.

"Think about Gu Xiaowei, he is never late!"

The agent's words awakened He Mu, and he quickly tidied his hair before setting off.

Several makeup artists and stylists followed behind, ready to touch up He Mu's makeup at any time.

This dinner was organized by Gao He from Dijun Media, and also invited Gu Xiaowei from Xinghan Pictures and the well-known director Lin Yue.

In addition, Jiang Yinchuan, the vice president of Honghe Film and Television, was also invited. It was said that Jiang Yinchuan had a wide range of channels and was very powerful, a new power player in Honghe Film and Television.

Gao He's purpose was to talk about a big-budget movie, directed by Lin Yue, with Gu Xiaowei as the male lead, and Honghe Film and Television's new best actress winner as the female lead, and then arrange an important supporting role for He Mu. With the help of this movie’ momentum He Mu would be able to ride the coattails and expand his market for movies and TV series.

Gao He and He Mu arrived first, while Gu Xiaowei went to pick up Director Lin. There was a bit of traffic on the road, but according to his character, he would not be later than the agreed time.

As for Jiang Yinchuan, he had already arrived at the underground parking lot.

Gao He instructed: "The most important thing for us this time is to leave a good impression on Director Lin and Gu Xiaowei. You and Gu Xiaowei both graduated from the same film school, so remember to use this connection."

He Mu nodded: "I know. What about CEO Jiang? What should I pay attention to?"

"You mean Jiang Yinchuan? Don't worry, he is just a puppet. He listens to his brother Jiang Yunxie in everything. And he is the vice president, not the ‘CEO'. Aren't you familiar with Jiang Yunxie? Several of your previous resources had been thanks to Jiang Yunxi pulling the strings for you. Didn’t Jiang Yunxie also agree to invest in this movie? Then Jiang Yinchuan won't utter a word of..."

Halfway through Gao He's words, a man wearing a leather jacket and boots came towards him. He had neat short hair and a smile on his face, "CEO Gao wants to say that——I, Jiang Yinchuan, won't utter a word of bullshit?"
