Chapter 461: Before departure

Lu Yanhe was on the hot search list for two days in a funny and hilarious made Lu Yanhe even more depressed was that Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, these two guys, clearly did not come that day, but kept making fun of this incident.

One day at Ziyuan Bridge, the three of them finally had some time to play games together.

Lu Yanhe is live streaming reading a book.

Li Zhibai knocked on the door and said, "Play games."

Lu Yanhe said, "I haven't finished the book yet. Wait until I finish this chapter."

"I can't wait any longer, hurry up." Li Zhibai was too lazy to wait.

Lu Yanhe: "Just ten minutes."

Then, Yan Liang stood behind Li Zhi and said, "Why are you wasting time talking to him? Drag him out."

So, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang walked behind Lu Yanhe, grabbed his shoulders and arms on the left and right, and lifted him up from the chair.

Lu Yanhe was horrified.

"I rely on!"

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang dragged him outside without saying a word.

"This trick is really useful." Li Zhibai commented with satisfaction.

The audience in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy.

Lu Yanhe, who just got off the trending search, is on the trending search again.

-

Lu Yanhe was speechless.

For some unknown reason, I was labeled as "delicate and frail" on the Internet.

Although he is not very fond of sports, he can't be considered delicate and frail, right?

ha?

Chen Siqi was quite happy to eat melons in this regard. She often sent some netizens' jokes to Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe was so confused.

-

It can be said that Lu Yanhe's dramatic scene was the most popular scene in the charity event that night.

At the same time, Lang Xia's auction items were also ridiculed by many people.

In the eyes of netizens, "an opportunity to have dinner with Lang Xia" is really too lame. They are unwilling to give out anything valuable and their attitude is too perfunctory.

In comparison, the manuscript that Lu Yanhe took out, although not a very valuable item, is of great significance, as can be seen from the fact that so many people were holding signs at the scene.

Lang Xia's fans could only help him explain things everywhere. But the explanations were actually very pale and powerless. They said that Lang Xia had good intentions in bringing out such auction items, and wanted to use a more novel way to liven up the atmosphere, but he was too young and didn't understand what such an occasion should be like.

This kind of explanation can only lead to more exaggerated ridicule.

As a result, Lang Xia’s fans were furious and made a fuss about Lu Yanhe’s manuscript.

——Didn't Lu Yanhe take out anything valuable? It was just a manuscript. A manuscript isn't even worth much. A dinner would cost several hundred yuan, right?

How could Lu Yanhe's fans be willing to see him being dragged into this?

In such an outrageous form.

——Someone spent four hundred thousand to buy a manuscript that was worth nothing.

No matter what, the purpose of a charity dinner is to raise funds to do good things and charity.

No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.

The auction price of four hundred thousand is the most powerful proof.

No matter what those people on the Internet say about the manuscript, Lu Yanhe's fans have only one thing to say: No matter how worthless something is in your eyes, it was auctioned for 400,000, which shows that it is valuable.

Leave others speechless.

-

Be it Lu Yanhe or Chen Siqi, they just watched this farce on the Internet and did not make any response.

There must be no response to this kind of online farce.

Once you respond, it's like stepping into a swamp. Once you sink in, it's very difficult to get out.

Lu Yanhe rested for a few days, completed the August magazine shooting, and prepared to set off for Venice.

When going to Venice again, Lu Yanhe was more relaxed this time.

I went to this kind of high-end international film festival many times, and my mentality became more relaxed. At first, I thought it was a very sacred place. As an actor, I went there and worshipped it, like I was on a pilgrimage. After going there many times, I realized that it was indeed a grand gathering for filmmakers, but it was not sacred. Sacredness often comes from mystery. When it is no longer mysterious in his heart, it is naturally no longer sacred.

In comparison, Lu Yanhe's trip to Venice was the first time he could spend some time at a film festival and truly experience the festival itself. Before, time was too tight.

Chen Siqi was very depressed.

Because she has a class next semester, she can't go with Lu Yanhe.

Chen Siqi complained for a long time why Lu Yanhe had no classes in his senior year, but she still had classes.

She also wants to enjoy the film festival! -

So, when director Yu Qin's producer Yuan Dao personally called to invite Lu Yanhe to attend the premiere of "Happy Time" at the Venice International Film Festival, Lu Yanhe agreed immediately.

"Happy Time" is the only Chinese-language film shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Venice International Film Festival.

As a Chinese actor, Lu Yanhe would of course be willing to go and support if he has time.

Before leaving, Lu Yanhe went to watch the Northern Lights video.

Director Bai Jingnian said, "'Wulin Waijiao' will start filming in September. If you have time, come and visit us."

Lu Yanhe said yes.

He then said, "Director, my cameo scene will be filmed in October, right?"

"Yes." Bai Jingnian nodded, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, "That's good."

He then asked, "Director, how are you doing here in the Northern Lights?"

"It's quite comfortable, much more comfortable than in Beijing and Taiwan." Bai Jingnian said with a smile, "I am very respected here, and everyone takes my opinions seriously, which is not the case in Beijing and Taiwan."

Lu Yanhe said: "Did Jingtai look for you in the third season of Friends?"

"Why would they look for me? Things were already ugly enough when I left." Bai Jingnian said.

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "They don't respect you, they don't value you, and they will always be retaliated against at some point in the future. Others say that I am the real creator of Friends, but in fact, they don't know that the real creator is you. I watched the second season, and even without my script, you, the director, made the second season maintain the rhythm and style of the first season, and did the best based on the existing script. They don't understand, but I do."

Bai Jingnian took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, I was quite depressed when you didn't come to participate in the second season. I even blamed you in my heart. Why couldn't you be patient for the sake of this drama we created together? When it really happened to me, I understood your feelings at that time."

Lu Yanhe: "Works are created by people. We can cooperate not only in Friends, but also in My Own Swordsman."

Bai Jingnian laughed.

"Yes."

"I really like the script of 'Wulin Wai Zhuan'." Bai Jingnian suddenly said, "It's a script that gets better and better the more I read it. I think about it over and over again. It's more than just a simple sitcom."

Lu Yanhe said: "Each character in "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is actually more vivid and more representative than that in "Friends"."

"Indeed." Bai Jingnian nodded. "Yan He, how did you come up with the idea of ​​writing such a martial arts comedy? In fact, it is not a martial arts comedy in the strict sense."

"Why isn't it considered a martial arts story?" Lu Yanhe smiled. "There is an inn in every martial arts story. This is the story of that inn. All kinds of people gathered in this inn."

Bai Jingnian: "You know that's not what I meant."

"Okay, I was just making excuses."

"But if it's really a martial arts film, you wouldn't ask me to be the director." Bai Jingnian smiled, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I won't mess up your script."

"Of course I believe you." Lu Yanhe nodded and smiled at Bai Jingnian.

After meeting with Bai Jingnian, at the appointed time, Lu Yanhe went to Lin Desheng's office again.

"Mr. Lin." In the past few years, Lu Yanhe has met Lin Desheng many times. It can be said that the main reason for the cooperation with Northern Lights Video is because of Lin Desheng's appreciation for him and his strong support for him.

If it weren't for Alex Man, Northern Lights Video wouldn't have come up with so much money in one go to shoot "Squid Game" and "Wulin Wai Zhuan" written by him.

Unexpectedly, before "Squid Game" and "Wulin Wai Zhuan" were aired, the show "High Platform Confessions" has become an evergreen program for Northern Lights Video.

The show is still being updated every week.

Because the production cost is really very low and there are no celebrities involved, the production cost of each episode is only about 50,000. Compared with the later income, it is really not worth mentioning.

For a video platform like Northern Lights Video, the most important thing is to provide a program that can keep a group of viewers on Northern Lights Video stably.

Each episode of this program has millions of views. If there are one or two confession scenes in an episode that spark a lot of discussion online, that episode may even exceed 10 million views.

Lin Desheng is very satisfied with his cooperation with Lu Yanhe.

"We should sign another cooperation framework." Lin Desheng said with a smile as soon as they met, "The previous one we signed will be completed soon."

After all, Squid Game has been filmed and is in post-production, and My Own Swordsman will start filming soon. Both dramas may be broadcast next year. My Own Swordsman is going to be broadcast seasonally, and with 18 episodes per season, this drama may have four or five seasons. This far exceeds the cooperation framework agreement signed by Lu Yanhe and Lin Desheng last time.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Boss Lin, I'm too busy right now. Let me finish filming the few movie scripts I have on hand first."

Lin Desheng asked: "Are you talking about "Those Years" and "The Phone Call"? "

Lu Yanhe was very surprised and asked, "Do you know everything?"

"Of course." Lin Desheng said, "I pay close attention to every one of your projects. This time you came here, I also wanted to talk to you about this matter."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

"I heard that you had some problems finding production companies for both of your scripts."

"Ah, yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "We want to keep the film copyright in our own hands, but it seems that no one is willing to do so."

"Your company raised money for the filming, but the money is not enough?" Lin Desheng asked.

Lu Yanhe nodded. "First, there is this problem. Second, we are still working on Love Letter. We are also worried that we can't do so much in one go."

Lin Desheng said: "If you need it, you know, we are willing to invest in your film project."

Previously, Northern Lights Video invested in two projects, "Lost on Journey" and "Rouge". The latter has not yet been released, but the former has already brought Northern Lights Video several times the profit return, proving that Lu Yanhe is still continuing his legend in TV series screenwriting as a film screenwriter.

Lu Yanhe said: "Okay, if we need funds, I will talk to you again."

In fact, Lu Yanhe is in great need of funds now. If he has sufficient funds, he does not need to wait until the filming of "Love Letter" is finished. He can directly find a producer and director, set up a crew, and start filming the two films "Those Years" and "Call" directly.

However, after Lu Yanhe had gone through that previous thought, Chen Siqi's words woke him up -

He really doesn't need to rush now.

He just finished filming the movie "Love Letter" by himself first, and went through all the processes from shooting to editing, from promotion to release carefully. He knew what each link was like and had a rough idea of ​​it. Then, when he went to film the other two movies, he would be much more at ease.

After Lin Desheng finished talking to Lu Yanhe about these things, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you keep in touch with Miaomiao a lot at school?"

Lu Yanhe was a little embarrassed and said, "Not much."

Lin Desheng asked: "Are you familiar with that kid named Wang Xiao?"

"I am indeed quite familiar with him." Lu Yanhe nodded, "He was one of the first people I met in Zhenhua."

He could see from Lin Desheng's face the disgust of an old father towards the pig that was eating his cabbages.

Lin Desheng asked him: "What do you think of him?"

Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment in surprise.

"what?"

Lin Desheng: “What kind of person is he?”

Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have much contact with the senior in private. I usually interact with him a lot during some school activities, mainly the activities of the Youth Association. From the few times I interacted with him, he is a very idealistic and upright person."

Lin Desheng asked: "How do you know he is upright?"

"Every year, the Youth Association invites big names from various fields to our school for exchange activities. From vice president to president of the Youth Association, he has to deal with different partners every day, no less than me as an artist, or even more. However, I have known him for three years, and no matter what he does, he has never used any... unorthodox methods. I can't find the right adjective at once, which is probably what I mean. In fact, as the president of the Youth Association, he can use his position to do many things, but he has never done so." Lu Yanhe said.

Lin Desheng nodded thoughtfully.

"For someone who can be admitted to Zhenhua and become the president of your Youth Association, his personal abilities and overall qualities are beyond doubt. What really concerns me is what kind of person he is in private and what kind of character he has." Lin Desheng said, "Yan He, you are in the same school with him, so you may know a lot of things that I cannot find out. As for Miao Miao, she has made up her mind since she was a child and would not listen to anyone no matter what they say. She would not listen to anything I say to her, but I also hope that she can see clearly what kind of person Wang Xiao is."

Lu Yanhe had never expected that when he came to see Lin Desheng today, they would actually talk about this matter.

It's really one head and two big ones.

Lu Yanhe said: "Boss Lin, Wang Xiao and Lin Miaomiao are both my classmates and friends. When it comes to dating, it's all consensual."

He looked at Lin Desheng with some embarrassment. "Besides, I seldom stay in school, so I don't know much about their daily interactions. In fact, although I don't have much contact with Miaomiao, I have known her for a long time. From what I know about her, she is a girl who knows clearly what she wants. When Senior Wang Xiao is in love with her, she is definitely not the one who is led by the nose."

Lin Desheng crossed his hands in surprise, "I didn't expect you to say this about Miaomiao." "She is the most courageous person I know." Lu Yanhe said seriously, "Sometimes I envy her. Whatever she wants to say or do, she does it in a hurry and never considers too many things. This is what I have always wanted to do."

Lin Desheng laughed.

"She is the one I have been spoiled by since she was a child."

"That's great." Lu Yanhe said sincerely, "I really like people with this kind of personality."

Perhaps because he had never done this before, he appreciated it from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it is Lin Miaomiao or Chen Siqi, they are both such people.

However, unlike Lin Miaomiao, Chen Siqi has a lot of stubbornness behind her character because of her upbringing. It was this that made Lu Yanhe want to protect Chen Siqi not long after he met her.

Lin Desheng said: "I used to think that you would be with Miaomiao."

Lu Yanhe quickly smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Neither of us has ever had such an idea."

-

This time when he met Lin Desheng, the topics they talked about made Lu Yanhe feel weird.

Lu Yanhe inexplicably felt that Lin Desheng must have something else to say to him, but he didn't say it.

Lu Yanhe and Wang Xiao made an appointment to meet.

Lu Yanhe mainly wanted to talk to Wang Xiao about the exchange activities held by the main creative team of "Rouge" at the forum hosted by the Youth Association.

Wang Xiao said: "That's no problem, but everyone is still disappointed that you can't come to participate."

"I happen to be in Venice, but it's the same if Director Wang Zhong, Sister Bi Ge and Brother Huang are coming over," said Lu Yanhe.

Wang Xiao was surprised and asked, "Can all three of them come?"

"Well, I've confirmed with them that they will come together." Lu Yanhe nodded, "So, I'll have to ask you for help."

"You're really reliable. You were able to help me invite all three of them to this small event where we can't pay them for their services."

"The film itself needs to be promoted, and the forums held by the Youth Association are also very influential." Lu Yanhe said, "Moreover, every one of my plays has been exchanged at your forum, and this has become a routine. Every time I share at your forum, the feedback is very good, which brings very positive feedback to my works."

"What do you mean by your forum? You are also from our Youth Association, okay?" Wang Xiao chuckled. "In recent years, our forum has been able to gain more and more influence, and it is also because of you. At that time, I shamelessly asked you to join our Youth Association. It was one of the best decisions I made."

"There's no camera filming right now, why are you being so pretentious?" Lu Yanhe joked.

Wang Xiao: "You are going to Venice this time, so you should prepare your graduation thesis when you come back, right?"

"I've finished my graduation thesis." Lu Yanhe made a proud gesture, "I started writing it in the first half of this year."

Wang Xiao: "You are strong enough, but you should check it carefully to make sure there are no problems. Many people are watching the papers of celebrities like you now."

Lu Yanhe: "Don't worry. I can't say how well I write, but every word is written by me, and the topic I wrote is also something I am very interested in."

"What topic did you write about?"

"I'll briefly discuss the literary perspective of film and television works from the perspective of scriptwriting." Lu Yanhe said, "This is also something I have been doing in recent years, so I am very comfortable writing it."

Wang Xiao nodded.

"By the way, senior, have you and Miaomiao... talked about her family affairs?" After Lu Yanhe finished discussing business with Wang Xiao, he brought up this topic. This was also what he wanted to ask today.

When Wang Xiao heard this, he immediately showed a bit of worry.

"We talked a few times, but every time Miaomiao said that our relationship had nothing to do with her family and that I shouldn't worry about it." Wang Xiao said, "In fact, after meeting her father last time, I also thought about whether I should make a special trip to visit him, but Miaomiao firmly refused."

"So that's how it is." Lu Yanhe thought thoughtfully.

"what happened?"

"I went to see Mr. Lin yesterday." Lu Yanhe did not hide anything. "He is very concerned about your relationship with Miaomiao. I think since he asked me, it would be difficult for him to hear any news directly from you. But he is very concerned about the two of you."

Wang Xiao gave a wry smile and was about to speak when suddenly, Lin Miaomiao's voice rang out beside them.

Lin Miaomiao came over from under the shade of the tree holding a cup of coffee and sat down next to them.

"Just because he cares about us doesn't mean I have to report every detail to him." Lin Miaomiao glanced at Lu Yanhe. "Wang Xiao and I are just dating, not getting married. If he can't control his concern for me now, then in the future, his concern will be greater and more intensive. So, learning not to ask about the details of his precious daughter's love life is a compulsory course for him."

Lin Miaomiao spoke these words to Lu Yanhe in a brisk, confident, and unhesitating rhythm.

"Next time you have a chance, you can also tell him what I said."

What Lu Yanhe was thinking at this moment was that fortunately, he did not respond to Lin Desheng's words.

Lin Miaomiao is such a girl who has personality and pursues independence.

He knew it a long time ago.

Wang Xiao asked: "Aren't you studying in the library? Why are you here?"

Lin Miaomiao said: "I sent you a message, but you didn't reply, so I came to find you."

"How did you find him here so quickly?" Lu Yanhe was also very curious.

Lin Miaomiao said: "Post a help thread on the school forum and ask if anyone has seen Wang Xiao. Someone will reply immediately and say that he and you were in this cafe by Luoyan Lake."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and said, "You can find people this way in our school."

"The premise is that most people in the school know the person you are looking for." Lin Miaomiao pointed at Wang Xiao, "He is a well-known figure in our school."

"Don't say these four words. When I hear these four words, I get goose bumps and feel uncomfortable." Wang Xiao said immediately.

Lu Yanhe laughed.

Lin Miaomiao looked at Lu Yanhe and said, "Why are you laughing? You are also a celebrity in our school. Your every move is posted on the forum."

Lu Yanhe knew this.

"I'm used to it." Lu Yanhe said.

He asked, "You said before that you wanted to shoot a short film for the competition. Have you finished shooting your short film?"

"I've finished filming." Lin Miaomiao nodded and said, "But after watching it myself, I think it's too bad, so I don't plan to send it to the competition. I'll just keep it as a souvenir for myself."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe looked at Lin Miaomiao in surprise and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Lin Miaomiao said: "It was just a photo for fun, don't take it seriously."

Lu Yanhe didn't take it seriously either.

However, he originally thought that Lin Miaomiao might give up before finishing the filming, or interrupt it for some other reason, but it was a bit strange that she decided to give up after the filming was already completed.

Lu Yanhe said: "Since the filming has already been completed, why not just give it a try?"

"I won't invest. If it's a bad film, I'll have to show it to the public and embarrass myself. I won't do such a thing." Lin Miaomiao said confidently.

Lu Yanhe couldn't persuade Lin Miaomiao, so he naturally had to give up.

Lin Miaomiao asked: "The same goes for the Love Letter you shot. If it doesn't turn out well, I suggest you don't show it."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

"How do you know I didn't take a good picture?"

"I'm just saying, if." Lin Miaomiao emphasized.

Lu Yanhe: "If I didn't know you, I would have put you on my blacklist by now."

"Whatever." Miss Lin obviously didn't care about any of this.

I returned to the familiar feeling when I first met her.

-

"Yan He, are you expecting to win an award when you go to Venice this time?"

"Yan He, how many days will you stay in Venice this time?"

"Yan He, when will the sequel to Lost on Journey start filming?"

……

When he arrived at the airport and prepared to fly to Venice, as expected, there were many media reporters waiting to take pictures of him.

As soon as Lu Yanhe appeared, he was surrounded by people.

Wang Biao, Zou Dong, Chen Ziyan and several bodyguards who were arranged temporarily escorted Lu Yanhe into the airport with ease.

In response to these impromptu questions, Lu Yanhe just smiled and did not answer.

The film festival hasn't officially started yet. It would be embarrassing if he said something now and someone made a fuss about it.

Who knows if "Road to Glory" can win an award this time.

It is normal not to win an award. It doesn’t mean that you will definitely win an award by participating in a film festival.

Lu Yanhe and the others went straight into the VIP lounge.

"Hmm? That's Ning Xiulian." Chen Ziyan suddenly whispered in Lu Yanhe's ear, "The lead actress of Happy Time."

Lu Yanhe followed Chen Ziyan's gaze and saw a woman who was about forty years old.

She did not have the aura of ordinary stars. She was simply wearing a mint green long skirt and sunglasses, sitting in a seat reading a book.

Lu Yanhe had never seen her before.

Chen Ziyan said: "She is a very good actress. Although she is not very famous, her acting skills are very superb. Director Luo Yuzhong said that her acting skills are among the best in the industry."

Lu Yanhe was surprised when he heard this.

Of course he believed Luo Yuzhong's evaluation.

Chen Ziyan: "Go and say hello."

The noise caused by their coming in made Ning Xiu Lian raise her head and look towards them.

Lu Yanhe took off his sunglasses, walked up to Ning Xiulian, bent down, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello, Teacher Ning, I am Lu Yanhe. I am so happy to meet you here."

Ning Xiulian looked at Lu Yanhe with some surprise, stretched out her hand to shake hands with Lu Yanhe, and smiled politely.

"Hello, Yan He." Ning Xiulian raised her lips slightly, "Are you going to Venice too?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded.

Ning Xiulian: "Then we should be on the same flight."

Lu Yanhe said: "It should be. I'm glad to be traveling with you."

Ning Xiulian glanced behind Lu Yanhe.

The bodyguards had all left, and only Chen Ziyan came in with him.

Zou Dong and Wang Biao were unable to come in because they were not in first class.

"Sister Xiulian, long time no see." Chen Ziyan came forward and greeted Ning Xiulian, "Do you still remember me?"

Ning Xiulian nodded and said, "Zi Yan, I remember that you were the agent of Bi Ge and Yong Zhou before."

"Yes, that's right." Chen Ziyan nodded, "I'm Yan He's agent now."

"So you're Yan He's agent. That's not surprising." Ning Xiulian said with a smile, "I was wondering why a young man who is so good at acting suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It turns out that you discovered him."

Ning Xiulian's words seemed to praise Chen Ziyan very highly.

Chen Ziyan quickly shook her hand and said, "Sister Xiulian, you think too highly of me. It's all their own hard work."

The two sides exchanged greetings for a while.

After Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan sat down, Chen Ziyan whispered in Lu Yanhe's ear: "Ning Xiulian's ex-husband is Liu Jian, the director of "Shan Shui Ren Jia". The two had a very undignified divorce. Don't mention Liu Jian in front of her."

Lu Yanhe suddenly understood and nodded.

At this time, a strong and handsome man walked in with a cup of coffee.

He came and sat down next to Ning Xiu Lian, put the coffee next to her hand, and put his arm around Ning Xiu Lian's shoulders so that she could lean on him.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan's expressions changed at the same time.

Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in surprise: "What is this?"

Chen Ziyan: "I don't know either."

-

I shared some of my recent movie watching and book reading on the official account.

In order to write this novel, I am still doing my homework. (End of this chapter)
