Chapter 45 - A Handsome Blind Man

Xiao Yi went to answer the phone, but he had not managed to recover just yet.

"Script?" Xiao Yi was still reminiscing the pleasure just now, and his mind was completely blank as he said: "Ah? What script, oh oh, that one, wait no, isn't that not written yet? Okay, okay, have you sent it over?"

Lu Zhou: "......"

Lu Zhou took over to answer the call and sent Xiao Yi to bathe. He chatted for a while, and finally said: "Send all of it over together, along with the project content information, the fax is on."

+++++

At the end of September, there were six scripts on the table.

Two TV series, four movies.

Two of the movies they had read about back in April had pornographic scenes, and the other ones were hard to predict. Now that bunch of scripts had even changed.

"What do you want to see me act in?" Lu Zhou asked.

Xiao Yi actually wanted to watch Lu Zhou act in a gay movie, but gay movies were banned in China and the audience was small. Xiao Yi himself could not act as the other male lead, and if he saw Lu Zhou hugging and kissing another man, he would definitely want to go beat that man up. It was better to forget it.

"Any is okay." Xiao Yi said, "The adventure movie might be very good. The male lead seems very well-liked, and it's about the tomb of Genghis Khan."

Lu Zhou casually flipped through the script and said: "It's only so-so, just personal heroism, copying the Hollywood style. It’s good for newcomers, but there's not much room for development."

"Yeah." Xiao Yi thought for a while. It was true that the comprehensiveness and portrayal of characters from adventure films were not as good as drama films, unless Lu Zhou ventured onto the path of a martial arts star.

"What has been ringing?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Your phone." Lu Zhou replied.

Xiao Yi looked for his mobile phone everywhere, and realized that it was upstairs. It had stopped ringing when he went to pick it up. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Don't worry about it." Lu Zhou said, "How about a historical film, I want to try this. I haven't acted in one for a long time."

"I'll return the call first." Xiao Yi thought for a while before dialing back. There was a familiar voice over on the other side.

"Mr. Xiao, hello, hello." The man said, "I'm Deng Xiaochuan, the producer. We met at the celebration dinner of "War of the Dawn" previously."

"Ah!" Xiao Yi said, "Hello, hello, what's the matter?"

"We heard that recently Lu Zhou is planning to accept a script. Do you remember the project I talked to you about before?" Deng Xiaochuan said, "The first draft of the script has been released. If Lu Zhou has time, I would like to invite him to take a look at it."

"Okay." Xiao Yi thought to himself, Wow you still remember that happened and said, "I will send you the email address."

Xiao Yi hung up the phone, and Lu Zhou said: "Talk lesser nonsense with him, what kind of investments can he even get?"

Xiao Yi said: "Not necessarily, let's take a look first."

Xiao Yi went to print out this fifth script, then called Deng Xiaochuan and asked: "When will this project begin?"

"The most troublesome thing right now is that there is no male lead." Deng Xiaochuan said, "I tried to contact Li Changzheng, but he said that he had other engagements so he turned it down. We want to start as soon as possible, and are arranging for a director. There will be news in a few days...... The very first version of this script was written ten years ago, and that old screenwriter has passed away. Now we have discovered it again and asked the screenwriter to finetune it......"

Ten years ago! Xiao Yi thought, Even the screenwriter had passed away. This is too awesome. Can a script written ten years ago be filmed now?

"The drama that Li Changzheng rejected came to me!" Lu Zhou became displeased when he heard it, and said, "Not accepting!"

"It's from ten years ago." Xiao Yi said, "Let's take a look first okay."

Lu Zhou: "What ten years. I have also accepted a script that had been written over 20 years ago. After the screenwriter had retired, his son was still making changes."

Xiao Yi: "......"

Xiao Yi flipped through a few pages, and suddenly felt that the script was too ridiculous.

"You continue." Xiao Yi held the script and went off to the side to avoid being disturbed by Lu Zhou and said, "I'll take a look first."

Lu Zhou: "......"

Lu Zhou truly could not do anything about Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi flipped through the script and thought it was bizarre yet reasonable, but no one would shoot this kind of thing at all! Who could shoot it!

The name of this film was 《Qin Mountains》, which was based on a real life incident that had occurred more than 60 years ago. It was a very ordinary incident that had happened on the Loess Plateau. The protagonist of the story was named Wang Genbao, and he was a blind erhu performer who had to support his whole family.

Wang Genbao had a wife named Yuan Hua, Yuan Hua gave birth to a daughter named Xiu Xiu.

Wang Genbao's daily job was to take the erhu out to perform, and sometimes he would be the accompanist for the performers on stage to make some money, in order to support his wife and daughter back home.

The family was poor, and his daughter loved candy. Every time Wang Genbao went out, he would go to the grocery store to bring back some candy for his daughter. Because he was blind, he was often pitted by gangsters. One day, Wang Genbao went out to make money and a candy seller arrived in the village.

In the evening, while Lu Zhou was cooking, he listened to Xiao Yi's storytelling.

"Actually, the candy seller is a kidnapper." Xiao Yi said, "He's a kidnapper who specializes in abducting and selling children."

"Hmm." Lu Zhou was dealing with a Wuchang fish that was flailing around and said, "And then what happened?"

"Then Genbao's daughter went out with him, and was immediately abducted." Xiao Yi added, "Genbao used a walking stick and went out to look everywhere, even searching his own home and several nearby villages."

"Something's not right." Lu Zhou said, "His wife isn't blind, so why not let her search for their daughter?"

"Because the wife has no pants." Xiao Yi said, "Their family is very poor and only has a pair of pants."

Lu Zhou: "Oh, continue."

Xiao Yi continued: "Anyway, Genbao searched for a long time, but couldn't find his daughter. His wife was very sad. She took things too hard and ended up hanging herself."

Lu Zhou: "......"

"Genbao buried his wife, took the erhu, and searched the entire house. Then he came out of the house and started looking for his daughter. It took him 20 years of search."

"He went to a lot of villages. He brought along a photo of his daughter when she was a child and walked straight from Wangguantun. Unfortunately, he was tricked by someone on the road and lost the photo. He walked to Shaanxi, then entered Qinling Mountains, and finally found himself in a village deep within Qinling Mountains. The script doesn't mention how tortuous the process was, in the...... let me see, in the forty-fifth scene, he found a girl who he suspected to be his daughter."

"But 20 years have passed, and the girl was also kidnapped and couldn't remember what happened back then. She even gave birth to a daughter. Her husband would hit her all the time, go drinking and so on. Wang Genbao wanted to bring this young girl and her daughter to leave with him. He thinks this is his daughter."

Lu Zhou said: "The villagers should quit."

"Well." Xiao Yi felt a little solemn after he read the script, and said: "Because Genbao has been blind since he was a child, he doesn't know where his daughter has birthmarks or what his daughter looks like, so he can only touch her face with his hands."

Lu Zhou killed the fish and placed it in to steam. Then he started to pat the prawns, preparing to make braised prawns.

"The villagers chased after them." Xiao Yi said, "Dragged them back, stripped their clothes and hung them together. Wang Genbao explained, but they didn't believe him. They wanted to kill the slut who cheated."

"Fuck." Lu Zhou said, "Who wrote this, it's too cruel."

"It's based on an original script." Xiao Yi said.

Lu Zhou: "Let me act as Genbao? How do I do that, my figure......"

"It can be synthesized in the later stages." Xiao Yi said, "Like 《Captain America》, the thin and small body before the transformation was done entirely with special effects. But if the makeup is done well, I think it'll be fine, because the setup for Genbao is a tall blind man, he is also pretty great and has good strength. It's only just because he is blind, so he's often bullied."

"What happened afterwards?" Lu Zhou asked again.

"Afterwards his daughter died." Xiao Yi said. "She was put in a sack and beaten to death with a stick in front of him. Genbao just listened to his daughter howling in the sack and couldn't do anything."

Lu Zhou: "......"

Xiao Yi continued: "At night, there was an old man who thought Genbao was pitiful, he said that after listening to his erhu songs, he knew he wasn't a bad person, so he let him go, and told him to hurry go and run away. Genbao took advantage of the dead of night and stole the gun, killed his son-in-law, and ran away with his granddaughter. Halfway through the escape, he lost his granddaughter again and was taken away by the people of the Chinese Nationalist Party. Genbao went to the Chinese Nationalist Party general to play the erhu, begging for help to find his granddaughter. It was after a series of tosses and turns that he finally found her."

"So did he finally live a happy life?" Lu Zhou asked again, "And then was it liberation? New China, everyone will lead a good life?"

"No." Xiao Yi said, "Later, Genbao got old and died of illness. His granddaughter got married and gave birth to several children. The scene before the finale was an erhu song playing. Deep in the courtyard of the house, Genbao was sitting on a chair in the main hall. Children were running around and laughing. Genbao saw it with his eyes, and laughed while playing the erhu. The camera zoomed out and the yard was full of flowers, disappeared."

"Oh." Lu Zhou only peeled half of the shrimp, and stood listening to Xiao Yi for almost half an hour.

"It's a bit like 《To Live》." Lu Zhou said.

"Yeah." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "It's well written."

Lu Zhou replied: "Old men are all very ambitious, what's the movie called?"

Xiao Yi said: "It's called "Qin Mountains", I guess it means the Loess Plateau, Shaanxi is Qin, so it is Qin Mountains."

"The father's love is like a mountain." Lu Zhou said, "Men are like mountains, women are like water, I'll read the script, you go and cook shrimp."

Xiao Yi got up to take over from Lu Zhou and said, "Will this show be a hit at the box office?"

Lu Zhou said: "Depends on the director. A good script must match with a good director, otherwise it'll crash the same. I'll call Deng Xiaochuan and ask about it. If this kind of film can be approved, the box office doesn't matter, and those who will be willing to take on this movie wouldn't be lacking these few bucks. I'm afraid that the censorship bureau will ban it again."

Xiao Yi turned around while peeling the shrimp and asked: "Is the radio and television censorship so wide?"

Lu Zhou said: "There are too many regulations, and there's no way, so when lousy directors can't produce good movies, they will push all the blame to the censorship bureau. This depends on the person, it's not necessarily the case. Some scripts are good, and the directors are also good, and can impress the film critics. The bureau will make you trim the movie a little, and then allow you to pass in the end. I'm only afraid that the movie will be bad and be too overconfident. You know, the average age of the major viewership is over 60.  For people in their 60s , watching shows made by people in their 30s and 40s is like watching children's play, and directors who have no real skills can't fool the bureau."

Xiao Yi finished cooking dinner, and neither of them spoke during the meal. After dinner, Lu Zhou called Deng Xiaochuan, but he could not find a good director there. Even if he had a good script, he could not find a good director at all. Lu Zhou was about to lose his temper at Deng Xiaochuan, and he almost wanted to yell at him for being useless. Finally, Xiao Yi picked out a few phone numbers and threw Deng Xiaochuan a lifeline, to go talk to the directors that Lu Zhou knew himself.

"Forget it, let's not accept this script." Lu Zhou said, "No matter how I see it, the producer is unreliable."

Xiao Yi said: "Do you want to accept it?"

Lu Zhou said: "Playing a blind man, I thought about it seriously, I can't do it. Li Changzheng knew this part after reading the script, so he rejected it."

Xiao Yi: "You can do it."

Lu Zhou: "It's not a matter of saying it. The physical reactions and demeanor of a blind man are different from that of ordinary people. You can't perform that by acting."

Xiao Yi: "Don't you think it's a challenge to act as a blind man? Even Li Changzheng can't do it, but you can. You told me yourself, if you don't give things a try, you're just a pile of shit."

Lu Zhou: "You're even teaching me a lesson!"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "That's what you said about me when you asked me to compose music for the first time."

Lu Zhou did not speak again.

After a while, Lu Zhou said again: "I have no intersections with this character at all, I can't experience his feelings, I'm not blind, I can't play the erhu, and I don't have a daughter, so I can't empathize with him."

"The third method mentioned by Director Guo." Xiao Yi said, "Take the intersection of you and the character, massage the rest in, and create a new soul."

Lu Zhou said: "I don't know how, I've never comprehended the third method."

"Oh." Xiao Yi, "Then reject the script."

Xiao Yi was going to make the call, but Lu Zhou said: "Wait, let me think about it again."

"You still want to act it." Xiao Yi said happily.

"The crew will definitely invite an erhu teacher." Xiao Yi comforted again.

Lu Zhou: "Learning on the spot is different. Teaching me two hours a day, and making sure that the finger method looks good is the way to go."

Xiao Yi looked serious, pointed his finger at himself, and Lu Zhou looked at Xiao Yi.

Please read from original site.

For a full month, Deng Xiaochuan's side had been contacting people regarding the problem of a director. Lu Zhou said: "Forget it, it hasn't been filmed in ten years, and it won't be possible this time too. You think. If it could be done, it would have been filmed ten years ago. Why wait till now?"

Xiao Yi did not say anything, and was just browsing Weibo when he suddenly shouted: "Wow ah ah ah ah——! !"

Lu Zhou: "......"

Xiao Yi: "《Iron Horse Glacier》 and 《Floating with the Wind》are both going to air ah ah ah ah ! ! ! !"

Xiao Yi in that instant was like a roll of paper that flew into the blue skies, fluttering in the wind, leaving no trace.

Lu Zhou said: "Which station? Let me see...... Fuck can they be a bit more of a fraud?! Two satellite TV stations broadcasting in the same prime timeslot! This is letting me fight with myself!"

"It's good that they are even able to broadcast." Xiao Yi hurriedly said, he did not ask for anything else at all, but what if the two dramas were broadcasted together? Hence Xiao Yi thought of a way to put 《Floating with the Wind》on projection in the living room, and he cast it out onto an Ipad, and played《Iron Horse Glacier》on the other LCD TV.

"You're noisy!" Lu Zhou said intolerably, "Can't you watch one first then watch the other online?!"

"You don't be noisy!" Xiao Yi said angrily, "Let me concentrate!"

Lu Zhou was fighting left and right on the prime time of the two satellite TV channels, and Xiao Yi was also switching left and right, watching till his mind was confused. The Lu Zhou on both sides were shouting angrily, in that instant it seemed like a gust of wind was howling, the horses were neighing, and the Yellow River was roaring. With those majestic effects, it was so chaotic that even Lu Zhou himself was dizzy. In the end, he had to temporarily turn off one of them. First, he watched 《Floating with the Wind》. While watching, Xiao Yi could not bear to cut off 《Iron Horse Glacier》, and thus Zhou finally could not stand it anymore and took away the remote control.

"Watch the local drama first." Lu Zhou said.

Xiao Yi did not watch Poplar trees at all. Lu Zhou's charm was too great. As soon as he saw the Poplar trees, he wanted to change the channel. That role of Lu Zhou's was simply...... everyone's dream lover! Gentle and restrained, and even dressed in a military uniform, coupled with that rigorous self-discipline and was also full of schemes and calculations, his acting was simply too good.

"My male god ah wu wu wu*......" Xiao Yi said.

*crying sounds

"Right next to you." Lu Zhou was eating his snacks expressionlessly.

Xiao Yi turned his head and looked at him with an expression of "Who this?". Lu Zhou smashed the snacks on his head and roared: "I finally understand! In fact, you only love the person on TV! Not me at all!"

"No no no." Xiao Yi hurriedly reassured, "That's my male god, you're my lover. Hey, what does Lu Zhou have, he's not as handsome as you, I'm serious."

Lu Zhou ate his own vinegar* for a long time, and he then finally realized that something was wrong. Xiao Yi simply let him hug him. Lu Zhou was like a couch potato with an unhappy face, cuddling with Xiao Yi every day to watch his own shows.

*eating vinegar: means to feel jealous 

After watching 《Floating with the Wind》, Xiao Yi hurriedly switched to 《Iron Horse Glacier》. The ratings for 《Iron Horse Glacier》had skyrocketed. Ning Yaqing also acted well and there was also Wu Henggu, who was presently popular.

Ning Yaqing had some scandals with Zheng Xiaocong on Valentine's Day, and her popularity instantly soared. When《Iron Horse Glacier》was filmed, Lu Zhou was a big celebrity, but now it had become Ning Yaqing and Wu Henggu who were even more popular. Sure enough, the tides had changed. 

However, though overshadowed by Ning Yaqing and Wu Henggu, Lu Zhou seemed even more likable. With that kind of kingly expression and aura, there were screenshots of Lu Zhou on the Internet every day, and the crew of《Iron Horse Glacier》also gave Lu Zhou a 'push'* along the way. The whole crew's WeChat group was full of joy. The producer even made an appointment for everyone to head out for a gathering. The next time the company would pay, and they would treat them to go to Sri Lanka for tea.

*Meaning the crew also gave Lu Zhou a boost of publicity 

The ratings of《Iron Horse Glacier》passed 2%, and Lu Zhou became popular again.

Xiao Yi could have never imagined that Lu Zhou would have a beautiful turnaround with two TV dramas that were only being broadcasted now. Tianya and Weibo were all talking about him. What was even more amazing was that this was not a water army*! No promoters were hired!

*Water army: A group of Internet ghostwriters paid to post online comments with particular content

However, Lu Zhou had no interest at all, because he could no longer act in TV dramas. The ratings were already not very important to him. After the last slump, he had begun to gradually ignore the outside world's evaluation of him.

"I didn't act well in this part." Lu Zhou said.

"Well, a little bit." Xiao Yi said, "I still remember that day you had caught a cold and was sneezing, your mucus was smeared on Sister Yaqing's face."

"Isn't that your fault!" Lu Zhou said angrily.

Xiao Yi thought It's none of my business...... well, whatever.

"Still have to continue working hard." Lu Zhou said, "The popularity will pass in an instant, no more than three months, I have to launch another good work."

Xiao Yi nodded, he knew that Lu Zhou's continued popularity in the past, 30% had depended on works, 70% had depended on Dumei's painstaking management to maintain the publicity and hype the topic levels. The entertainment industry marketing was like this, there was no other way. The soaring ratings of《Iron Horse Glacier》seemed to have strengthened Lu Zhou's confidence in his image transformation, because he had to plan and manage himself, and could no longer rely on looks and hype for a living.

"No news from Deng Xiaochuan?" Lu Zhou said, "What a good-for-nothing, just like you."

Xiao Yi said, "I have discovered that you take good care of good-for-nothings."

The corners of Lu Zhou's mouth twitched, and he said: "If it was someone else, it would be the producer and investors who would be urging the star, begging and waiting for the star to make a decision. On our side, we have to urge the producer like some third-tier actor mingling for supporting roles. You ask him, does he want to keep me hidden until the production has started."

Xiao Yi: "......"

Xiao Yi discovered that although Lu Zhou had a bad temper, he seemed to have some sort of magical patience for all kinds of good-for-nothings.

And according to what Lu Zhou had taught him, and along with what he had learned, a director usually had to be found first for this kind of movie before anything else could be done. It had never happened before that only a male lead was found, and no others at all.

To make a production well, a director with a unique understanding of the movie was required. Xiao Yi did not know what type of movie this was, and even Lu Zhou himself could not place it.

The several directors that Lu Zhou had introduced to Deng Xiaochuan, Deng Xiaochuan failed to reach a deal with any. The directors who had won awards before would not be able to rely on Lu Zhou's connections, so this production could only be thrown aside half-dead. Lu Zhou himself had no solutions.

"Let's see the final result." Lu Zhou said, "Either we don't shoot, or we find a new director to shoot. Damn, let's just be the producers ourselves."

Xiao Yi: "......"

"No, no, no, no way......" Xiao Yi screamed miserably, "I'm a newcomer who's just been in the industry for three years. I can't do anything. What producer!"

"Register as co-producer, Lu Zhou Studio." Lu Zhou said, "How's that?"

This made Xiao Yi a little tempted, but after thinking about it, it was outside his profession. If Lu Zhou wanted to participate, Deng Xiaochuan's name would definitely be pushed to the back, and Lu Zhou would not be able to create a big effect. After all, he had not much influence in the movie circle.

Lu Zhou called Zheng Xiaocong again and asked him to get his friends to help him pay attention to this matter. Xiao Yi read the script to the point he could memorize it. A week later, a young man called. Lu Zhou was running downstairs, and Xiao Yi was panting as he went upstairs to answer the phone.

"He....... hello, hu hu*......." Xiao Yi said.

*panting sounds

The voice was very nice to the ears and sounded magnetic. When Xiao Yi heard it, even his bones went limp, and he felt that this guy was calling for sex.

"Ah.......ah.......he's.......below."

"He's below?" The man was a little surprised and said with a laugh, "I always thought he was on top, are you guys doing a phone play now?"

Xiao Yi: "......"

"He's exercising!" Xiao Yi shouted with all his strength, and then threw himself on the sofa exhaustedly.

"This sort of fitness method is quite rare," The man said. "It's understandable, but isn't the one below who usually doesn't need to be move?"

"He's in the gym downstairs......" Xiao Yi laid face down on the sofa, and he began to think that this person should be a master of ridicule.

"Oh oh!" That man said, "I'm Di Le, are you XiaoTzuki?"

"Di Ya*." Xiao Yi said, "I am, I've heard your voice before, but I just couldn't remember it."

*Di Le's nickname is Di Ya which also means Di Duck

Di Le said: "Can you help me tell him, I have helped to ask around, and a director expressed interest. Has any investors been currently pulled in?"

"Not a single penny." Xiao Yi said regretfully, "Now there is only Lu Zhou."

"The story is pretty good." Di Le said, "I know Elder Qin, and this is a story from his grandfather's generation. I heard him mention it when we were shooting a documentary before. If no one produces this, no one will ever produce it. But once someone starts to producing it, everyone will want to take part in it. Since Brother Fortune* has accepted it, it'll be like a snowball afterwards, more and more investments will come in. Don’t worry, it can succeed.”

*Lu Zhou's nickname: Fortune Lu, hence Di Le is calling him Brother Fortune

"Okay." Xiao Yi said, "Heeding your words......"

Xiao Yi noted down the director's phone number, then called Deng Xiaochuan and asked him to reach out to him. It was a director named Chai who had produced many good movies, but now that commercial films were in vogue, director Chai's films were not as well received. What was even more troublesome was that even if they were well received, it was also just appreciation among a group of local cultural people, they could not get international awards.

"The director is also out of trend." Lu Zhou said, "The main actor is out of trend, the director is also out of trend, and the screenwriter is even dead. What kind of project is this, damn it."

Xiao Yi: "......"

"It's only just the original creator who died!" Xiao Yi said, "The current screenwriter is still alive, don't curse him......"

Three days later, Deng Xiaochuan made a decision. After communicating with the director, he informed Lu Zhou to go to a meeting.

Xiao Yi thought that a director who would make this kind of movie would be all messed up. He would be wearing sunglasses and sporting a face full of beard, turning off the lights right at the beginning of the opening scene, and then talking about some bizarre professional terms. He did not expect Director Chai to be fat and jovial with a face filled with good fortune, a beer belly, a white shirt and even a tie, looking clean and refreshed. It seemed that the director's temperament had little to do with what kind of movies he made, but only with what kind of wife he had married.

"Oh, great genius Lu." Director Chai said with a smile, "The only wish in my life is to cooperate with you. Your Director Guo has praised you to the extreme."

Lu Zhou hurriedly smiled and said: "I don't deserve the praise, it's a lifetime honor to work with Director Chai. I'm serious, I need to learn."

Producers Deng Xiaochuan, Director Chai, Lu Zhou, Xiao Yi, and the main members of Director Chai's team gathered together to talk about the script, and the screenwriter was also called over. He was a man in his thirties. Director Chai was not in a rush. He drank tea and ate snacks, and even asked his assistant to buy some sweet pea pudding. Everyone sat unhurriedly and talked about the script as if they were at a tea party.

"There are still a lot of flaws in the script." Director Chai thought for a while, then said, "How about this. Comrades today can express their views and speak freely. This week, let's fix a rough breakdown of the majority of the scenes, so that Xiao Deng can help pull in investments."

Xiao Yi thought to himself that this film crew was really strange, and that there were all kinds of strange things, but Lu Zhou said: "I'm not the main creator, so I won't say any more......"

"How can you say that you are not the main creator?" said Director Chai, "You are the core soul of this movie, and your thoughts are the most important."

Lu Zhou had to say: "I'm afraid I can't play this role well."

Everyone laughed, and the screenwriter said: "Mr. Lu, if you can't play this role well, I don't think anyone else will be able to do it either."

Lu Zhou said: "You can still find someone, but the pay will be high."

Lu Zhou was speaking the truth. It was doable for a king-level movie figure in his 50s or 60s in China to devote himself to such a drama.

Director Chai said: "If you don't know you can learn, everyone starts out here like this. But Lu Zhou, if you enter my crew, you have to listen to me. I can't guarantee that this movie will be a big hit in the end, but from our current mingling, I believe you can sharpen your soul and raise your professional quality to a higher level."

Lu Zhou nodded and glanced at Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Director Chai is amazing."

Director Chai said with a smile: "My character has always been someone who spoke whatever is on his mind. Lu Zhou's acting is a bit impetuous. He needs to concentrate and understand a character well."

Lu Zhou was still very humble when facing people who were more powerful or talented than him. He talked about his understanding of this character, and finally concluded: "Sad, but Wang Genbao is also very tough, kind of like a mountain, the father's love stood majestically."

"What drove him into the quagmire of fate," said Director Chai, "was a tragic environment, a tragic era, but he still continued fighting."

"I'll like to offer you a method." Director Chai said, "After returning home, blindfold your eyes every day. Be a blind man, and experience the world of a blind."

Lu Zhou: "......"

After the meeting that day, at home.

Lu Zhou was blindfolded, holding a cane, and poking around at home. Xiao Yi said: "What do you want? I'll help?"

Lu Zhou waved his hand in rejection. He touched and felt for the kitchen, poured water, and flooded the table.

Xiao Yi thought it was so much fun. Lu Zhou groped again, then sat back on the sofa with a glass of water in his hand. Touching the iPad after a while, he then realized that he could not browse Taobao anymore, so he could only sit like that.

Xiao Yi asked while chopping vegetables" "Have you acted as a blind man before?"

"Did before in university's dramas." Lu Zhou said.

"A handsome blind man." Xiao Yi said, "What should I do if after you're blindfolded, you're more handsome than before?"

Lu Zhou's brows were covered with black cloth, and when he heard this, he laughed. The smile of a handsome blindfolded man immediately made Xiao Yi bloom with peach blossoms in the kitchen.
