Lu Yanzhou has experienced more than one ancient world.
In that era, the knowledge he could learn was limited, so he naturally practiced music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Not to mention, his identity in a certain world is also a painter!
His painting skills are definitely not bad.
When acting, Lu Yanzhou is very natural, he just picks up the brush and draws.
After filming for a while, the director called out, and then said: “Okay, Lu Yanzhou, change the paper and let’s take a close-up shot.”
Lu Yanzhou just waved his hand and drew several strokes on the paper.
They definitely can’t use this paper when taking close-ups, so it would be better to change the paper.
With this in mind, the director approached Lu Yanzhou and asked: “When you take a close-up shot later, use a light-colored ink and paint a few strokes as Teacher Zhang said. Later, Teacher Zhang will continue painting on it, then when he is halfway through, you will come back and paint a few more strokes…”
They are still very particular about it. Although they hired a painter, they would still film Lu Yanzhou painting.
But…Lu Yanzhou didn’t stop painting.
The director was a little stunned when he realized that Lu Yanzhou had already drawn a lot of things, and the paintings were…pretty good?
Lu Yanzhou looked up at the director: “Director, I know how to draw…Why don’t you let me try first?”
The director said: “Even if you can draw, if the quality of what you draw is not good enough, the audience will laugh at the crew when they see it…”
The director could no longer speak, because Lu Yanzhou made a few more strokes, and the painting became more and more beautiful.
“What a painting!” Teacher Zhang also came closer and was amazed when he saw Lu Yanzhou’s paintings: “This level is above mine!”
The director was a little confused: “What?”
Teacher Zhang continued: “Director, he can draw better than me, just let him draw it by himself!” There is no way he can paint such a good picture at such a fast speed!
Director: “…” Isn’t Lu Yanzhou an internet celebrity? His painting is actually better than this teacher Zhang?
Teacher Zhang is from the National Painting Association!
Teacher Zhang’s level is indeed very good, but not at the top level yet.
He used to be a teacher and is now retired. He could have enjoyed his retirement life, but his daughter was seriously ill and needed a lot of money for her medical expenses.
His wife was taking care of their daughter in the hospital while he was looking for various part-time jobs to make money.
He is well-known in the ink painting circle, but his paintings cannot be sold at high prices. Depending on the size of a painting, it can only be sold for tens of thousands, and there’s a chance no one will buy it too.
During the most difficult time, he looked for work everywhere just to make more money.
It was at that time that someone introduced him to the entertainment industry.
In the entertainment industry, he not only worked as a painter, but also painted and sold paintings to some companies to set up scenes. He also had time to take on private work…and his life suddenly became smooth.
He even called his students to serve as his assistants.
Except for the top few, these painters really can’t make much money. Before his students followed him, they had been teaching children to draw in hobby classes…
Teacher Zhang is a down to earth person, that is, he’s not arrogant and he doesn’t think there’s anything wrong when he sees a celebrity who draws better than him.
“Young man, you are really good at painting. Have you been learning it since elementary school?” Teacher Zhang looked at Lu Yanzhou with a smile, “I think you are not very old. You can draw so well in your twenties, you are really talented.”
“I have been learning it since elementary school.” Lu Yanzhou smiled.
The director said at this time: “No wonder you look like a gentleman, you have learned these things!”
After Teacher Zhang confirmed Lu Yanzhou’s painting skills, the director directly asked Lu Yanzhou to draw it himself.
This way, he could give him a few more shots!
Lu Yanzhou lived up to his expectations. Even a layman would think the paintings he painted were good!
The director even said, “Little Lu’s paintings are really good. Can you sell them to the crew? The crew will need some paintings for the next set.”
“Of course!” Lu Yanzhou agreed with a smile.
Lu Yanzhou is not only good at painting, it can be seen when he writes inscriptions that his calligraphy level is also very high.
The director secretly felt that he had found a treasure, so when he found time, he called Xie Chengze and praised Lu Yanzhou.
Xie Chengze: “…”
After dealing with the director, Xie Chengze saw that Lu Yanzhou had sent him a lot of messages, saying that he had learned painting and calligraphy from his teacher in school when he was a child. He didn’t expect that he would be recognized by the director on the set today…
Lu Yanzhou also took a photo of the painting and showed it to Xie Chengze, and happily said that the crew bought the painting for 5,000 yuan.
Xie Chengze’s family is rich, and he has attended many hobby classes since he was a child.
Although he did not follow the path of art, his appreciation level is not bad. It can be seen at a glance that Lu Yanzhou paints very well.
Lu Yanzhou is actually very smart and talented, but as a result, his parents have always ignored him and even refused to let him continue to study…
Without Lu Yanzhou in front of him, he can no longer feel Lu Yanzhou’s disgust for him, so Xie Chengze can now feel pity for Lu Yanzhou in his heart.
“AZe, I can also draw portraits. I will draw one for you later.” Lu Yanzhou added, thinking about asking the crew for brush and ink later, drawing a picture of Xie Chengze, and then sending it to Xie Chengze.
“Okay.” Xie Chengze agreed and also thought about buying some brushes, ink, papers and inkstones to give to Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou was chatting with Xie Chengze while shooting a short video.
In his series of videos, Concubine Liang had already entered the palace, and then someone tried to push Concubine Liang into the water. When they failed to push her, they fell into the water, so they falsely accused Concubine Liang of pushing them.
After Lu Yanzhou, the emperor, arrived, he naturally stood on Concubine Liang’s side and said, “Nonsense! If imperial concubine Liang wants to harm you, why does she need to push you into the water? All she has to do is pretend to be unsteady and throw herself at you and you will be dead! That’s Mount Tai falling on your head!”
Everyone: “…”
Afterwards, Lu Yanzhou looked at Zhen Shuai affectionately: “Of course, since the imperial concubine is so kind-hearted, she would never do such a thing!”
Just after Lu Yanzhou finished filming this scene, he heard laughter.
The one who laughed was Teacher Zhang: “What you shoot is very interesting! Young man, you are not only good at painting, but you are also very good at acting!”
This is not something ordinary people can do confessing their heartfelt feelings to Zhen Shuai, who is in women’s clothing!
“Why are you here, Teacher Zhang?” Lu Yanzhou asked with a smile.
“I’m just taking a walk.” Said Teacher Zhang.
Although he joined the cast, the crew actually didn’t use him much. Most of the time, he was busy with his own private work.
Recently, a rich man spent 100,000 yuan to paint a painting four meters long and one meter wide to be hung in the living room.
He had just been painting for a few hours and now he was out for a walk.
Lu Yanzhou happened to be free, so he chatted with Teacher Zhang and asked: “Teacher Zhang, do you know where I can sell paintings?”
Teacher Zhang said: “There are many places that sell paintings, but it’s not easy to sell them. You want to sell paintings?”
Lu Yanzhou nodded.
He didn’t see anything wrong with Xie Chengze, but there should be something wrong with Xie Chengze, so he needed to use his merits to treat Xie Chengze.
Xie Chengze must have concerns, since he is not close to him. If he wants merit, he may need to earn money to save it.
If he can sell paintings, it would be great, right?
Teacher Zhang said: “If you want to sell paintings, you still have to find a gallery, but even if the gallery signs you, it may not support you and sell your paintings…If you want to take this path, you’d better find a well-known painter to be their apprentice. Then participate in more competitions, so that the gallery can package you well and sell your paintings at a higher price! This takes a lot of time. You will definitely earn more as a star than painting, so why bother.”
Their circle is actually a bit exclusive. If Lu Yanzhou wanted to get in, it was best to become a master, otherwise he would have to participate in various competitions first.
Teacher Zhang knew everything, and Lu Yanzhou soon realized that it would not be easy for him to make money from painting.
Sister Wang suddenly said: “Lu Yanzhou, although your painting skills are not bad, you have to start from scratch when you join the painting circle…If you want to make money from this, you might as well shoot some painting videos to increase your popularity and become the best painter among internet celebrities.”
That makes sense!
The original owner of Lu Yanzhou’s body did not have very good grades, and his grades in science were even worse. He only studied liberal arts in high school.
If he went to do scientific research in this world, everyone would definitely feel that something is wrong.
If he wants to be a painter, even if he paints very well, how many people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a painting painted by a young man in his twenties?
In this case…if he wants to make money, he may really have to rely on becoming an internet celebrity.
Since he wants to become an internet celebrity, he has to have his own specialty, such as being able to paint and do calligraphy.
Lu Yanzhou said: “Sister Wang, I will make another series about beautiful ancient men, do you think they will like it if I write all kinds of jokes in calligraphy?”
The elegant ancient scholar splashed ink into a painting, and then painted a very fat and cute tiger, named tiger going down the mountain.
The young master from a noble family took up his brush to compose a poem, and wrote a poem: “The fish kisses the stone crouching on the water, and the crouching stone throws itself into the green spring.”
Short videos like this should be very funny.
He can also show off his martial arts and so on.
Lu Yanzhou actually wanted to shoot some high-end short videos, but he had already taken the road of sand sculpture, so he had to go to the dark side!
“They’ll definitely like it. Even if you don’t do anything with you in an ancient costume, they will still watch you!” Sister Wang immediately discussed with Lu Yanzhou and said that she wanted to find some high-end costumes for Lu Yanzhou to shoot a new series.
Thinking of this, Sister Wang added: “Mr. Xie came here before, and he disliked your dragon robe, saying the quality is too bad.”
Lu Yanzhou’s lips curled up, he knew that Xie Chengze was missing him.
Xie Chengze really missed Lu Yanzhou.
He now even clicks on Lu Yanzhou’s short video account several times a day.
“AZe, what you’re watching is too funny! Share it with me and I’ll follow him.” Xie Chengze’s father accidentally saw Xie Chengze watching Lu Yanzhou’s short video and said immediately.
Father Xie was born into a coal miner family, so his hobbies are relatively common. In the past year, he has fallen deeply in love with short videos.
Speaking of which, it was because his hobbies were relatively common, so the TV series he invested in before were very enjoyable, therefore he never lost money.
Mother Xie’s preferences were similar to father Xie’s. She took a quick look and said, “This guy in women’s clothing looks familiar. Isn’t he that peerless handsome man Zhen Shuai? This young man in dragon robe always appears in his videos recently. I’ll go take a look.”
Xie Chengze pointed out that his parents pay attention to Lu Yanzhou, and then said: “They are both artists in our company.”
“These two look good, they must have a future!” Father Xie was very happy.
Mother Xie also liked Lu Yanzhou’s sand sculpture videos and liked them one by one.
Xie Chengze suddenly wanted to see Lu Yanzhou again.
But his heart wasn’t strong enough to dare go again.
In the end, Xie Chengze only dared to chat with Lu Yanzhou online.
One month passed quickly.
In just one month, Lu Yanzhou gained three million followers!
This speed is astonishing, but it’s not surprising. On the one hand, it’s Zhen Shuai who helps him gain traffic, and on the other hand, the sand sculpture videos he took are very popular.
2020 is the year of rapid development of short videos. Lu Yanzhou took advantage of this trend and became an internet celebrity with five to six million fans.
Among his videos, the most popular ones are those where he looks like an ancient scholar, either painting or writing calligraphy.
These videos are completely different from the funny videos in the Emperor series. After getting the company’s consent, Sister Wang asked Lu Yanzhou to use the crew’s makeup and change his clothes after filming the scenes. During the shooting, she also tried to make Lu Yanzhou look the most handsome!
Who doesn’t like to see handsome guys in ancient clothing!
After many people browse the video, they will continue to watch it, and then they will see this handsome guy dancing with a sword, painting, or writing…
He is as graceful as a god descending to earth!
However, after appreciating the beauty, they will look at his painting and calligraphy he drew…they will really laugh to death!
When he danced his sword, he even used fallen leaves to make an interesting emoticon!
Lu Yanzhou’s fans are growing rapidly, and Zhen Shuai also wasn’t far behind. After the two signed Ze’an, their net worth has increased a lot. Everyone in the industry thinks that Ze’an is good at promoting people.
It was at this time that Sister Wang mentioned the matter of selling goods via live stream to Lu Yanzhou and Zhen Shuai.
The company signs contracts with internet celebrities because they want to make money. The most important thing is that a company recently came to the door and wanted Zhen Shuai and Lu Yanzhou to help sell goods.
“They are all regular companies and there are no problems with their products. Do you want to try them?” Sister Wang asked Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou agreed: “Okay!”
He has no other way to make money now. If that’s the case, then let’s sell the goods!
He remembered that live streaming has been very popular in the past few years.
Lu Yanzhou often collaborates with Zhen Shuai, so this time, Sister Wang asked them to do the live streams together.
The things they sold were food. Lu Yanzhou wore a dragon robe and Zhen Shuai played the role of Imperial Concubine Liang. The two started live streaming and started selling food during the live streams.
Lu Yanzhou thought that he would not adapt, but it turned out that he was quite good at selling things: “My beloved ministers, this food is really delicious! Even I, the emperor, eat it. It is a tribute! Come on, concubine Liang, feed me one!”
The atmosphere of the whole live stream was very good, and a lot of things were sold. After a few hours, Lu Yanzhou was able to get 20,000 yuan.
It wasn’t much money, but it was a good start, and Zhen Shuai was very happy.
In the past, Zhen Shuai worked alone. Although he had many fans, he actually didn’t make much money. After signing with Ze’an, he made more money.
“Don’t spend it recklessly. It’s better to have more savings.” Sister Wang told Lu Yanzhou and the others.
Some celebrities will spend money randomly, even though they make a lot of money, they end up owing money everywhere…In that case, the celebrity’s mentality will turn bad, and it’s easy for the celebrity to take the wrong path.
“Sister Wang, I won’t.” Said Zhen Shuai.
Speaking of which, Zhen Shuai has been severely squeezed this month.
He was extremely fat and in poor health. Every time he finished shooting a short video, he would break out in a sweat.
It’s just…As he was tired, not only did he lose some weight, but his body also got better.
Lu Yanzhou said, “Sister Wang, please help me donate all the money, um, through official channels.”
“Donated it all?” Sister Wang was confused.
Lu Yanzhou said: “Yes, donate it all.”
Sister Wang couldn’t react, so Lu Yanzhou continued: “Sister Wang, I made some bad money before, and now I want to give back to society…I am still young, so donating the income of the past few years has no effect on me.”
Sister Wang didn’t understand Lu Yanzhou’s choice, but as Lu Yanzhou said, donating is a good thing, not a bad thing.
The most important thing is…Sister Wang has been with Lu Yanzhou this month, so she naturally noticed the close relationship between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze.
To Lu Yanzhou, this money is really nothing, so just donate it.
There was a first time for live selling, and there will surely be a second time.
During their live streams, in order to attract viewers, they did not just shout and sell things all the time. They also interacted with fans and even showed off some talents. Lu Yanzhou also paints and writes in the live streams.
“Who knew that the food on the plate is all hard-earned!” Lu Yanzhou wrote a poem casually, and then said: “Beloved ministers, the food on the plate is all hard-earned. We must use a good plate to serve it. The porcelain I’m selling today is the best! It also has various patterns. This one has only one gold edge, which is suitable for people whose home decoration is minimalist and modern. This set of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum is suitable for Chinese-style decoration at home! If you buy the complete set of porcelain from the first link, you will get a beautiful large box for packaging. You can also give it as a gift after buying it! I will also give you a beautiful ashtray… ”
Seeing Lu Yanzhou yelling so hard, Xie Chengze couldn’t help but buy a set.
His tableware has been used for a long time now, so it should be replaced with a new set.
As soon as the order was placed, Xie Chengze heard his father say to his mother: “Honey, I just bought a set of porcelain from the internet for you!”
Mother Xie said: “Porcelain? I bought it too! Oh. AZe, the newly signed young man was so handsome. He asked me to buy it, so I couldn’t help but buy it…
Xie Chengze: “…” Lu Yanzhou hated him while making money from his family. It’s really a bit too much.
Father Xie came to mother Xie and took a look: “We bought all his porcelain…Buying two sets at once, is it a bit too much?”
“We also have guests at home sometimes, and we can use two sets of porcelain together…Wait, although they are all bought in this live broadcast room, the patterns may be different. What pattern did you buy?”
“The bright red festive one.”
Mother Xie suddenly became angry: “Our house is decorated like this, and you bought the bright red one? It doesn’t match at all!”
The two started to argue.
Xie Chengze found that the styles he bought were different from those bought by his parents, so he silently shut up.
Lu Yanzhou donated all the money he earned from selling goods on the live broadcast.
More than two months after he joined the crew, the TV series filmed by Ze’an was finally about to be completed.
The series is divided into several groups and they are often filmed separately, so the filming time is not long.
Lu Yanzhou has a lot of appearances in this series, but Zhen Shuai’s appearance is really not that much.
The director added an appearance to Zhen Shuai when the protagonist was taking the scholar exam.
This person actually learned nothing after studying for several years, but because his family was rich, the teacher he hired only praised him. Thus, he was so confident that he came to take the imperial examination.
As a result, he not only read the questions wrong, but also almost broke the simple examination room because of his large body…Later, he gave up the imperial examination to inherit his family business, and also funded the protagonist with some money.
Zhen Shuai only had a few scenes in total, so the rest of his time was spent shooting short videos.
He and Lu Yanzhou were the most unprofessional in the crew, and they often used the crew’s extras.
However, what they did was approved by Ze’an’s boss, and it didn’t delay the filming, so no one said anything. Some young actors were so envious that they registered accounts to become internet celebrities.
Now that the crew is about to wrap up, everyone is very excited, especially Lu Yanzhou.
He can finally go back to see Xie Chengze!
He and Xie Chengze talk for a long time every day, and they also make video calls, but Xie Chengze, the conscienceless one, keeps refusing to come see him.
Xie Chengze keeps saying that it’s to avoid disturbing him, but he is really not afraid of being disturbed!
Now that the crew is wrapping up, he can finally be reunited with Xie Chengze. Then he must ask Xie Chengze why he is locked up in the crew and not allowed to go back.
If Xie Chengze’s parents object…he can actually face them with Xie Chengze, or be an underground lover first.
Lu Yanzhou is eager for the company, but Zhen Shuai is a little reluctant to leave the crew.
Lu Yanzhou now has seven million fans, and Zhen Shuai has many more fans. We have learned a lot, so Zhen Shuai quite likes the crew.
“Zhen Shuai, all good things must come to an end. Be happy! Speaking of which, we are both very popular now, and maybe we will join a new crew soon.” Lu Yanzhou comforted Zhen Shuai.
Although he said that, Lu Yanzhou actually didn’t want to join a new crew. He wanted to be with Xie Chengze.
A few days ago, he confessed to Xie Chengze during a video call with Xie Chengze, and Xie Chengze agreed. Now they have confirmed their relationship,
But they have not even kissed once!
After he returns, he must strive for some benefits!
Just as Lu Yanzhou was thinking about this, Sister Wang said, “Lu Yanzhou, did you get the news from Mr. Xie in advance? You are indeed going to join a new crew. The company plans to let you join another costume drama crew and has secured a good role for you. ”
Sister Wang was beaming with joy, but Lu Yanzhou was confused when he heard this.
Xie Chengze didn’t tell him anything!
He said sweet words to Xie Chengze every day, and Xie Chengze also said he missed him very much…Why did Xie Chengze send him to the next crew when he just finished filming one?
Lu Yanzhou had reason to believe that Xie Chengze was avoiding him.
On one hand, he kept calling him darling on the internet while on the other hand, he was refusing to see him…Haha!
Lu Yanzhou felt that he had to ask Xie Chengze for an explanation!
