The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

In the official film and television review department, each reviewer has to review at least two films a day.

Lu Yunbin is such an auditor, who is both miserable and happy every day.

The painful thing is that some of the censored films are like stinky dog ​​shit, and it is hurtful to watch them for even a second.

The good thing is that he can see many excellent movies in advance and save the money of going to the cinema.

His task today was to review two movies. He took a look at the movie information and immediately became interested.

One is a movie directed by the famous director Wu Yang, called "One-Armed Hero", which was invested with 200 million yuan and is considered a remake of a classic martial arts film. The leading actors are all movie emperors and actresses.

The other is a movie by the new director Wu Hao, called "Avatar", which has an investment of 2 billion, which can be said to be the largest investment in recent years. The leading actor is the movie emperor Zhang Zehua, and the female lead is Xue Ying'er, both of whom are very famous.

What Lu Yunbin found funny was that Wu Yang and Wu Hao were actually father and son!

Wu Yang is a veteran director and has won countless awards. His son Wu Hao seems to be even more awesome. His first movie, "Phone Booth," created a box office record of small-scale success. Who knows, he might even win the Golden Bull Award next month.

Now that the father and son have met, isn't this a tit-for-tat confrontation, killing each other? Who doesn't like to watch this kind of drama between father and son?

Lu Yunbin laughed excitedly, attracting the attention of his colleagues at both workstations.

However, everyone thought he had encountered a funny movie, and asked with a smile: "Lao Lu, what comedy movie is it?"

“Hahaha, no, take a look at the movie information I am going to review today,” Lu Yunbin said, and gave up his seat.

The two colleagues also came over to take a look, and laughed together with Lu Yunbin.

Colleague A said enviously: "Lao Lu, you are so lucky today. You can actually meet two big productions, and they are such funny situations. Unlike me, the two I met today are both low-budget small movies by newbies."

Another colleague B also said: "I am better than you. At least one of my films is directed by Chen, and it cost 130 million yuan."

Colleague A looked at Lu Yunbin and discussed, "Old Lu, you review Director Wu's movie first. I'll take this opportunity to finish reviewing those two movies. Then I'll watch Director Wu's Avatar with you. I've been eyeing the feature film for a long time."

Colleague B also echoed: "Yes, yes, wait for me too, I will speed up the review too, and we will look at it together later."

Seeing that his colleagues were very interested, Lu Yunbin agreed!

Lu Yunbin began to read "The One-Armed Hero", a martial arts novel he had read many times. It had also been adapted into a TV series, which he watched at the time. He was disappointed after watching it. The entire TV series had been changed beyond recognition and had completely lost the original flavor of the book.

He began to pray silently, hoping that Director Wu would be able to make a good movie version of "One-Armed Hero" this time and not ruin the original work.

Two hours later, Lu Yunbin let out a long sigh. The whole movie deleted a lot of content from the novel, but the story was still complete and the actors' acting skills were good. The only shortcoming was that it was too flat. There were no surprises or disappointments. It would definitely make a profit at the box office, but don't expect a particularly high box office.

Lu Yunbin wrote down the areas that needed rectification and then submitted rectification suggestions to his leaders online.

"Old Lu, you're finally well."

Lu Yunbin was startled to see that Colleague A and Colleague B had been waiting for him.

"Aren't you guys too anxious?"

"Hey, how can I not be anxious? Ever since the trailer came out, I've been looking forward to it."

"Okay, let's get started!"

Lu Yunbin didn't hesitate and directly clicked to play "Avatar".

From the beginning of the plot of Avatar, the three of them couldn't take their eyes off it. The story was full of ups and downs, the scenes were magnificent, and the special effects were simply amazing.

Two hours later, the three of them were still in shock.

"This movie doesn't need any deletions or changes, it's amazing..."

"The plot is good, the story is good, the special effects are good, and even the music is well matched. I can't think of any shortcomings!"

"Yes, it's perfect! I don't care, I will watch it a few more times when the movie is released."

"Let's go together!"

Lu Yunbin wrote in his review opinion: "The story, special effects, costumes, music, etc. are all excellent and perfect, and no rectification is needed!"

This is the first time he has given such a high evaluation.

Early in the morning on the 10th, Xiaoyue went to the university with her printed graduation thesis.

Today is the day of her junior year graduation thesis defense. Xiaoyue finally changed out of her black down jacket that she hadn't worn for a long time and put on a beige parka.

When defending your thesis, you always have to leave a good impression on the professors.

This time, Xiaoyue defended her thesis with classmates from Class 97 of the grade. They hardly saw each other during their junior year because they were all busy with internships and job hunting!

Xiaoyue was very embarrassed. When she entered the lecture hall where she was going to defend her thesis, she found that except for her three roommates, she didn't know anyone else.

"Cheng Xingyue, come and sit down."

Wang Xiaonan noticed Xiaoyue as soon as she entered the door and quickly shouted to her.

The other students originally thought that Xiaoyue was a student who walked into the wrong classroom, but when they heard Wang Xiaonan’s address, they suddenly realized, this is Cheng Xingyue?

How could she be so thin? Even though she is wearing a mask, her figure shows that she is a goddess-level beauty!

Xiaoyue hurried over and sat down next to the three of them.

"Everyone is here early!"

Wang Manman smiled and said: "We are here to grab a good spot!"

The four people discussed the defense process with each other, and then four professors walked in.

The defense process was very boring and tedious. The professors just found fault with the students' papers and asked tricky questions that were very difficult to answer.

Among the four of them, Chen Xiaomeng was the first to go up to defend her thesis. When Xiaoyue saw her song analysis, she found out it was her own song "Green Grass by the River". She was so embarrassed that she almost knocked her feet out.

Wang Xiaonan secretly glanced at Xiaoyue's embarrassed expression and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Hehe, it will be my turn later and you can continue to be embarrassed!

Chen Xiaomeng's defense went very smoothly, especially Teacher Chen Lin, who praised her interpretation.

After several other students had defended their thesis, it was Wang Xiaonan's turn.

Although Xiaoyue had been prepared by Chen Xiaomeng, she was still surprised that the song she was analysing was "Life in Bloom". After she interpreted the lyrics and arrangement, she started to praise Yue.

Xiao Yue only watched a short section: "The arranger Yue is the magician of our Chinese music world! She weaves dreams with notes and outlines emotions with melodies. She is simply the soul engineer of music! Behind every moving song, there is her silent dedication and hard work. She is not only a creator of music, but also a transmitter of emotions, telling moving stories with music..."

Xiaoyue covered her face, feeling ashamed and unworthy.

Wang Xiaonan, Wang Xiaonan, I didn’t expect you to be such a person, you are such a boaster!

Xiaoyue saw that Teacher Chen Lin was almost unable to straighten her back due to laughing.

A professor smiled and asked: "Student Wang Xiaonan, it seems that you are a fan of Yue?"

Wang Xiaonan held his head high and said confidently: "Yes, Yue is not only my idol, but also the driving force for me to move forward... 10,000 words omitted here... The most important thing is that I am proud to have a classmate like Yue, and proud to be a student of the music university."

Both the professor and the students in the audience were amused by her and laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

Wang Manman smiled and said, "Wang Xiaonan is so talented."

Chen Xiaomeng said regretfully: "Why didn't I think of this trick? The defense just now could have been much better!"

"You can do it now. Will it be Cheng Xingyue's turn to defend her thesis later?"

Xiao Yue only raised her blushing face at this time. No, she blushed so that others could not see it. She sighed and said, "I will be the next one."

Wang Xiaonan's defense was naturally successful, but Teacher Chen Lin said: "I hope you don't learn from her."

Wang Xiaonan sat back in his seat, his face full of joy after passing the defense!

"You're amazing, Wang Xiaonan." Wang Manman looked at her and pinched her chubby face.

"Anyway, she is used to being shameless, skinless and heartless..." Chen Xiaomeng sighed with pretended hesitation.

"That's enough, you laughed so loudly just now, I heard it!" Wang Xiaonan felt a little embarrassed at this time.

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "You are not suitable for composing music, but you are very suitable for public relations. You are willing to lose face when doing things."

"Really? Cheng Xingyue, do you really think I'm suitable for public relations?" Wang Xiaonan perked up. Isn't this the best time to ask about work?

Xiao Yue didn't understand why she suddenly got excited, so she nodded and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Wang Manman and Chen Xiaomeng both pricked up their ears at this moment, wanting to know how Wang Xiaonan was going to talk to Cheng Xingyue about work.

"Hey, Cheng Xingyue, why don't you just accept the offer? If your company is still short of a public relations position..." When Wang Xiaonan said this, she didn't know why, but she felt a little embarrassed.

Xiaoyue immediately understood what she meant. When they had dinner together before, they had talked about how difficult it was to find a job in the arrangement department, but Xiaoyue didn't take it seriously at the time.

If they really need help, it's okay to lend a hand.

"Okay. We'll talk after I finish my defense."

Xiaoyue looked at the students who were defending their thesis on the stage. It seemed that it was almost over and it would be her turn soon.

"Yes, get ready!" Wang Xiaonan nodded happily.

"Cheng Xingyue, it's your turn, come up quickly." Chen Xiaomeng said hurriedly when he heard the teacher calling Cheng Xingyue.

Xiaoyue hurried to the podium.

Teacher Chen Lin smiled when she saw her.

"Hello, teachers. The song I will be defending this time is "Childhood", which I composed and sang myself..."

The four professors began to listen to the song "Childhood" together. There were many students in the audience who had not yet defended their thesis or had not left after the defense, and they also listened to the song "Childhood" together.

When the song ended, everyone applauded.

The music and lyrics are great, full of memories of youth.

Several professors had not met such a talented arrangement student for a long time. They asked Xiaoyue a few questions and she answered them fluently.

The four professors were really satisfied with Xiaoyue.

"This student Cheng Xingyue is very good. I think she can be given an excellent thesis defense."

"I have no opinion."

"Agree."

Finally, Xiaoyue successfully passed the defense and was the only one to defend an excellent thesis.

Wang Manman's defense also went smoothly, and the song she appreciated was also Xiaoyue's song "The Wind Rises".

After the four of them finished their defense, it was time for dinner, so Xiaoyue suggested that they should have a farewell dinner together.
