A few days later, the crew of "Star You" has not officially started filming, and various reports have already flooded major portals.

Except for some black media, most of the reports are positive.

Sing and perform well, which is very in line with the trend.

This was true for Liu Tianwang before and after him, and for Zhou Jielun and Wang Lihong after him.

But investing more than 4000 million yuan just to shoot an urban idol drama really shocked many people in the industry.

At first, most people in the industry suspected that the media was lying.

It is a common practice in the film and television industry that the amount of investment is water. If an investment of 500 million is made, the producer dares to call for an investment of tens of millions.

However, according to an unknown source, Lu Yuan's investment in special effects alone for his new drama exceeded 1500 million.

The special effects production company is a well-known Hollywood studio - in the digital realm.

Outsiders may not know this company, but to industry insiders, the name of this company is as loud as thunder.

"Transformers 1", "Zodiac", "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Star Trek: Revengeance", "Titanic" and other Hollywood blockbusters have figures in the digital field behind them.

In the eyes of most investors, Hollywood special effects production companies are equated with the word "expensive".

"The Golden Armor" filmed by Lao Mouzi included 21 stunt shots at a cost of HK$6500 million, with an average of HK$300 million per shot.

The total cost of "Transformers" was US$1.5 million, of which US$1.25 million was spent on special effects production.

Although the special effects production cost of Lu Yuan's new drama is only 1500 million, it cannot be compared with "Golden Armor" and "Transformers".

But it’s a TV show!

TV drama!
TV drama!
In September this year, Zhang Jizhong appeared with the new "Journey to the West" crew and officially announced the new version of Journey to the West's special effects cooperation with a Hollywood special effects production company.

It is estimated that 1000 million yuan will be invested in special effects.

At this point, the media has already lamented the generosity.

As a costume mythological drama, "Journey to the West" only costs 1000 million for special effects, but Lu Yuan's urban drama cost more.

Mythological drama VS urban drama, but urban drama invests more, and the media is extremely curious!
Faced with such an unreasonably high investment, the media took notice and chased and intercepted Lu Yuan everywhere, just to 'arrest' Lu Yuan.

Unfortunately, the media came to nothing.

At this time, Lu Yuan had already left the capital with the director team and film crew. Song Yang, the director of "Star You", and Zeng Li, the heroine, were also with him.

Although the main task of this trip is to shoot the MV, during the break from shooting the MV, some clips of the male and female protagonists of "Star You" going out for fun will also be shot.

The original "Star You" had very few locations where the protagonist teleported.

No way, this is a limitation of land area.

Small is the point.

Of course, the version shot by Star Media will not be limited to one or two places.

Lushan Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, Jiuzhaigou Valley, Inner Mongolia grassland, Dunhuang Crescent Spring, Qiong Province Beach, etc. are all the filming locations of "Star You".

Shooting across multiple locations is really expensive.

But this part of the cost belongs to 'one fish, three meals'.

The MV shooting for the second album, the MV shooting for the first English album, the filming of the "Star You" crew, and taking an old lover on a publicly funded trip.

Although the money is still so much, with three projects sharing the cost equally, the cost will naturally come down.

The first stop is Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.

In addition to Xingchen Media's own business, Lu Yuan also wanted to go to Mengniu's headquarters.

The advertising song for Mengniu Sour Yoghurt has been decided. The promotional song will be "Sour and Sweet" from 07 to 08, and "A Little Sweet" and "Exclusive Taste" will be used from 08 to 09.This time, Lu Yuan will partner with sweetheart leader Wang Xinlin to shoot the promotional MV for "Sweet and Sour".

The filming location was at Mengniu’s headquarters.

10 month 28 number.

Under the leadership of Mengniu staff, Lu Yuan walked into the park. The staff led the way while introducing Mengniu's various achievements.

On the side, the camera recorded the whole process.

After a while, Lu Yuan followed the employees into a processing workshop.

Immediately afterwards, a girl with a petite figure and sweet appearance trotted up to Lu Yuan with short legs.

"Hello, Lu Yuan, I'm Cyndi Wang. I like your songs so much. I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to collaborate."

Her coquettish Wanwan accent, combined with Wang Xinlin's hands holding her heart, is so sweet.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan had deep concentration and smiled politely back.

"Hello, Cyndi."

"Your new song "The Quiet Sea That Summer" is also very nice."

Wang Xinlin blinked her eyes and said with surprise on her face.

"really?"

Lu Yuan smiled happily and did not answer directly, but hummed the melody of "The Quiet Sea That Summer".

Since his rebirth, Lu Yuan feels that his memory has improved a lot, especially when it comes to music. He can memorize the melody of most songs after listening to them only once.

The songs I heard in my memory are exactly the same.

In this life, Lu Yuan has not listened to "The Quiet Sea That Summer" completely. He hums it now, relying on the memory of the 'future'.

"Wow, really?"

Wang Xinlin's beautiful eyes flickered at Lu Yuan. To be fair, this face is really good-looking, even better than the one on the poster.

Even more handsome than Kim Sung Oh!
In fact, she was quite curious about Lu Yuan.

Although there are many negative reports about Lu Yuan in Wanwan, as an industry insider, Wang Xinlin is very clear about the nature of those media.

Therefore, she did not believe a word of what some media said.

This is not.

Seeing it is true, no matter whether Lu Yuan really likes her song or not, the fact that she can hum the tune accurately at least proves that she has prepared carefully.

Moreover, Lu Yuan called her by her English name, which also made her very fond of her.

"Cindy, your smile is so foul."

Lu Yuan made a small joke: "It seems that I will have to take a few more metformin pills when I go back tonight."

"Doujia double... melon?"

Wang Xinlin's eyes were full of doubts.

What kind of melon is that?

Lu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, with no intention of explaining. Some things are interesting only if you discover them yourself.

So, he changed the topic and talked about the itinerary.

Seeing that Lu Yuan avoided talking, Wang Xinlin did not ask further questions. After all, it was the first time that the two met, and she didn't know what scale to use in chatting.

However, she silently memorized the name 'Erjia Shuanggua'.
