You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 376: Adam becomes Mr. Lu's fanboy: You will play the leading role in the movie! (2-in-1 order required)

At the same time, Liu Mengyuan and other girls from the company were shopping and having fun in Hengdian City.

They walked through the bustling commercial streets, their laughter and joy endless, attracting the attention of tourists around them.

Wow, what kind of film and television company is this that has so many beautiful and good-looking girls?
Suddenly, a female employee stared at her phone and said excitedly:

"Hey, have you heard? Mr. Lu is going to demonstrate the performance in person in the studio right now!"

"Ah, then shouldn't we go and show our support?"

"Really?"

There was a gleam in Liu Mengyuan's eyes, and she secretly thought in her heart, maybe she could get a glimpse of another side of Lu Yu from this?
After all, it's great that your boyfriend knows a lot of things.

However, while she was secretly feeling anticipation, she was still a little nervous, as she was afraid that Lu Yu would mess up the performance.

Just like that, with all sorts of mixed emotions, they arrived at the studio door. At that moment, a crowd of people gathered outside the studio, all of them were employees from the gaming department who had rushed over after hearing the news.

……

Finally, at the long-awaited moment, the camera turned on and a tall figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Lu Yu had already changed his clothes from Shenmu Liang. He looked calm and walked with ease.

"Look, Mr. Lu is here!"

The employees screamed excitedly, their faces full of anticipation.

Liu Mengyuan was no exception. She watched Lu Yu's every move intently.

On the stage of the studio, Lu Yu was completely focused by the fill light. He frowned slightly, and his expression seemed a little helpless.

"Why are there so many people?"

Please, he doesn't want to perform well. He came here today just to disrupt the filming plan.

He sighed and began to think about how to mess up his performance.

If possible, he wanted to get through it as easily as possible and get the whole performance over as quickly as possible.

He moved his feet carelessly, without any precision in his movements, as if he was walking around the stage casually.

"Hiss... What's going on, Mr. Lu?"

The employees in the audience began to sense that something was wrong with President Lu, and they couldn't help but exchange glances.

Lu Yu deliberately made his movements more casual. Sometimes he lowered his head and sighed, and sometimes he looked around, as if he had no interest in the entire performance.

"Oh, that's scary."

As Bang read the lines, his expression seemed indifferent, without any emotional expression, and people could not feel any dramatic tension.

The employees and onlookers felt embarrassed and uneasy.
Wow, Taoyuan Township had already lost the initiative with Adam, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Lu’s performance was so mediocre. Isn’t this even more embarrassing?

Lu Yu was secretly delighted in his heart, very good, you just need to follow my demonstration in the future!
At this moment, the system popped up a warning:
[The host has been detected to be slacking off for unknown reasons. Please correct it!]

Holy shit, the system can even detect this?

Lu Yu clicked his tongue.

Now, he had to act genuinely frightened, but he didn't want to make it too conspicuous.

is there any method?
Lu Yu thought for a long time, and suddenly came up with an idea!

He thought that he could recall some things in his past life that made him feel fear and despair!
In this way, you can perform the emotions required by the director without being too involved in the role.

And the thing that makes people most terrified and desperate is naturally...

Lu Yu closed his eyes and recalled his previous experience of internal competition in the game company:

In his previous life, Lu Yu, who worked as a game producer, had been in a high-intensity working state for several consecutive months, working more than twelve hours a day with almost no rest time.

Moreover, during the development process, he was often asked by his boss to work overtime to complete tasks, working until 12 o'clock every night. Even though he was exhausted, he could not refuse...

Due to the chaotic internal management of the company, Lu Yu had encountered problems such as loss of game project data and delays in progress many times in his previous life, which seriously affected the progress of his work.

The most frustrating thing is that the deadline for version update is about to come, and at this time, the software package sent to the app store is sent back for repackaging and review!
……

As he thought about it, Lu Yu subconsciously immersed himself in that inward-looking life.

He saw those long overtime nights, the room was dimly lit, the desk was piled with documents and notes, time seemed to stand still, but he felt extremely bored as time passed by.

He felt that suffocating feeling again, and it seemed as if time was slowly shrinking around him, shrouding him in darkness.

He tried his best to control his emotions and suppress the fear. His body was trembling slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and uneasiness.

Slowly, his lips turned pale, as if all his strength had been drained away, leaving only a trace of weakness and powerlessness.

He tried hard to control his emotions, trying to express his despair and fear. His voice was weak and trembling, as if suppressed by an invisible force, unable to make a sound.

"This... this is..." He stammered, his voice trembling slightly.
That inward-looking world gives people a suffocating feeling..."

……

Director Adam's team was stunned. They didn't expect that the CEO of Taoyuan Township had such superb acting skills!
"Great, great! This feeling of despair and fear that comes from the heart, Mr. Lu, you are truly amazing! Even professional actors can't act out the effect you do!"

Adam was quite excited and quickly gave instructions to the staff around him: "Quick, cooperate with Mr. Lu's actions and finish this scene!"

The actors on the stage instantly got into the mood, as if they had turned into real zombies. They roared and rushed towards the camera.

The images on the monitor became extremely shocking. The terrifying aura of the zombies almost broke through the screen, making people shudder.

After presenting a set of nearly perfect shots, Adam waved his hand and said, "Cut!"

The actors on the stage stopped moving, their faces flushed and some breathing heavily.

Adam walked over excitedly and held Lu Yu's hand tightly: "I didn't expect you to be such a natural actor. The expression you made just now was as if you had really experienced the zombie apocalypse."

Recalling the terrible project management and overtime hell of his previous life, Lu Yu complained:
"No, because I've experienced things more terrifying than zombies..."

[Your boss, Lu Yu, is guaranteed to start the performance practice, and his "Performance Skills" has been upgraded to level 2]

Liu Mengyuan looked at the system prompt with a complicated expression.

The Taoyuan Township employees around them had already burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause!

Mr. Lu’s visit today really makes them proud!

……

After that, Adam no longer dared to neglect Lu Yu. He quickly asked him to sit next to him and be responsible for supervising the filming of the movie.

After Lu Yu sat down, he continued to smile:

"Director Adam, if you are still dissatisfied with anything, please tell me."

Director Adam hesitated for a moment, surveying the array of props displayed on stage with displeasure. These included weapons, guns, artificial blood, and zombie costumes. "Mr. Lu, please allow me to complain. These prop designs are truly awful!"

He frowned in dissatisfaction. "I want realism, not these cheap, toy-like props!"

Shi Bo quickly stepped forward to explain:
"Mr. Lu, this is because our film project budget is limited, and we need to spend our money wisely."

When Lu Yu heard this, he was secretly delighted.

Oh, if you hadn’t told me I wouldn’t have remembered this, there’s also the trick of spending money on the handle of the knife!
……

A few days later, Lu Yu came to the studio again.

"Mr. Adam," Lu Yu said, "perhaps you will like this."

After that, he signaled the staff to hand a black coat to Director Adam. Director Adam took the coat, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I had someone in Hengdian find an experienced craftsman to rush to make this. If that's the case, would you be okay with it?"

This coat looks very special. Its fabric seems to be made of zombie skin, with a gloomy atmosphere. The buttons of the coat are inlaid with what looks like blood-red gems, emitting a strange light.

"This...where did you get it from?" Director Adam couldn't help but wonder.

"This is a model restored by our gaming department," Lu Yu explained with a smile. "I think that in zombie movies, a sense of horror and realism is very important. So I designed this coat specially. If you are satisfied, we can go into mass production directly. Budget is not a problem at all!"

Director Adam pondered for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Great, I like this design!" he said. "This sense of horror is exactly what we need!"

"What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Director Adam turned his gaze to the other side of the stage, where the shelves were filled with costumes for some supporting roles.

"The costume designs for these human actors are too ordinary!" Director Adam criticized. "I need a unique and avant-garde style!"

Lu Yu smiled and nodded:

"I will invite designers to bring the latest fashion trends, and there is no limit to the proposal until you are satisfied!"

Adam: "Also, the setting of this carriage is pretty ordinary. I want a carriage that vibrates constantly."

Lu Yu: "No problem!"

At this moment, Shi Bo pulled Lu Yu aside and admonished him:
"Mr. Lu, these...the points Director Adam raised can be completely addressed with post-production special effects. Besides, there's no need to focus too much on the clothes of a supporting character who only appears once. It always feels like we've wasted our budget and energy on strange things."

An assistant beside him also said:

"Yes, Mr. Lu, I heard that Adam is a real-life shooting maniac in Hollywood. We don't need to listen to him at all."

When Lu Yu heard this, he was secretly happy again.

"Hey, being a real-life photography maniac has its perks, don't worry, I have my own plans."

……

In the following days, during the filming process, Adam's attitude towards the Taoyuan Township staff changed 180 degrees. He not only greeted them with a smile, but was even a little flattering.

The person Adam and the Taoyuan Township staff talked about the most was Mr. Lu.

So, Zhang Fan, Shao Peng, Hao Shuwen, Pan Hao, Sun Rou, Zhao Yuhang...

One by one, the old employees began to take turns bragging to Adam about Mr. Lu's various achievements since he started the business.

How can they remain calm in the face of pressure from major giants? How can they give development hints at critical moments?

Under such continuous bombardment of praise, these foreigners from Hollywood were stunned.

In particular, Adam was very impressed when talking about the development process of "The Last Defender".

Because the great director just remembered that his old friend had already fallen into the hands of Taoyuan Township once!

He is Hollywood director Andrew Stevens.

He had previously accepted an invitation from the public relations department of Longteng Group to criticize "The Last Line" on Weibo.

Unexpectedly, Andrew later told Adam that the small PR business he had casually accepted had now suffered a severe backlash. A large number of proud Taoyuanxiang fans went to Andrew's Weibo to fight back, causing his reputation in China to plummet.

Afterwards, Andrew once told Adam that he never expected that he would fall into Mr. Lu's hands!

So, with Andrew's experience and the flattery of Taoyuan Township employees, Adam was a little confused.

Since Mr. Lu has such business acumen, why did he turn a blind eye to his team's behavior in Hengdian?

Thinking of this, Adam suddenly had an idea in his mind!
God!

Only then did he realize that Mr. Lu was quite knowledgeable about artistic expression, which could be seen from his acting skills!
Then why is he so indulgent towards himself? It's all because...

Mr. Lu truly loves the art of film!
That's why he invests in his team regardless of the cost. This is clearly a kind of mutual respect!
And how did I respond to Mr. Lu before?

Arrogance, that shameful arrogance!

Adam finally understood.
This time, I must not repeat the mistakes of my old friend!
……

In a subsequent performance, Adam invited Lu Yu to audition again and perform an action scene of fighting zombies.

Kensuke Kitahara, played by Lu Yu, fights zombies in the sewer. Every move he makes continues the desperate fear and bursting hope.

Director Adam stood aside in the studio, watching Lu Yu's performance intently, with admiration and amazement in his eyes.

During the performance, Lu Yu fully released the fear and trepidation caused by the constant internal conflict in his past life, showing amazing acting talent and dramatic appeal.

Each of his movements was full of power and tension, as if he was really on the brink of life and death, fighting zombies.

Director Adam took a deep breath.

He has been making horror movies all his life, and this primitive fear is exactly what he has been pursuing!

He was deeply attracted by Lu Yu's performance, and a strong impulse surged in his heart.

"Mr. Lu!" Director Adam stepped forward and exclaimed in admiration, "Your performance was fantastic! I believe you'll be the best actor for this film! Please don't refuse!"

After hearing Director Adam's invitation, Lu Yu was surprised and began to think seriously:
Actually...if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible!
After all, I have no acting talent and have not received any training, so my acting is definitely a hundred times worse than Shenmu Liang's!
He pretended to refuse, but after director Adam's persistent persuasion, he finally agreed.

At the same time, Lu Yu glanced at Liu Mengyuan who was not far away and was looking at him with a fangirl expression.

"Director Adam, I have a request. I hope to allow my girlfriend, Ms. Liu Mengyuan, to participate in the filming of the movie and play the heroine Huimei. I believe she also has excellent acting talent and will definitely be able to play the heroine."

At this time, the faces of Sberg and others on the side turned green.

My goodness, the male and female protagonists were finally decided after the makeup trial and they were invited from Japan, but President Lu just sent them away like that?

Besides, how could a company's CEO personally make a movie? President Lu and President Liu have no acting experience at all. How can the movie be watched?
When Director Adam heard this, he showed a fanboy expression.

"Of course!" he said excitedly. "As the saying goes, outstanding people always attract each other. Since your acting is so good, I believe Miss Liu can't be much worse!"
