After breakfast, Lu Yanhe returned to his room to rest for a while, then set out with Chen Ziyan to try out their looks.
Lu Yanhe’s role is actually not that big, but it is very crucial.
In "The Golden Age", the character played by Lu Yanhe is called Yao Yu'an, and the character played by Jiang Yuqian is called Guan Zhu.
He is the key reason why the heroine Guan Zhu, played by Jiang Yuqian, joined the real estate company in the play.
Yao Yu'an was Guan Zhu's first love. He died in a fight while trying to protect Guan Zhu. However, Huang Zhonghuai, who caused Yao Yu'an's death, was eventually exempted from criminal responsibility and did not receive the punishment he deserved because of the protection of his family.
Because of this incident, Guan Zhu's personality changed drastically from a spoiled little girl. A seed of revenge was planted in her heart. She studied hard and worked hard just to get revenge one day.
Against this backdrop, Guan Zhu joins Huang Zhonghuai's family business, a real estate company, and starts her career at the bottom. There, she meets Lian Jin, played by Huang Kairen. As they compete for projects, they develop feelings for each other. Driven by a desire to avenge Yao Yu'an, Guan Zhu suppresses her feelings and stays with Huang Zhonghuai, secretly gathering evidence to bring him down. Lian Jin, mistakenly believing Guan Zhu despises her, also puts aside his feelings.
At the same time, the real estate industry is taking off, and everyone is climbing higher and higher under the tide of the times.
Lian Jin, the youngest and most capable person in the real estate company, was full of momentum, but Huang Zhonghuai was jealous and schemed to force him out of the company. Lian Jin had no choice but to join another real estate company and start over.
Guan Zhu and Lian Jin once again became rivals in the business world, fighting frequently with equal victories. In just a few years, both Guan Zhu and Lian Jin took advantage of the dividends of the real estate industry and became senior executives of their respective companies.
During this time, they also had many unexpected encounters, sparking new feelings. Lian Jin still had feelings for Guan Zhu and hoped that Guan Zhu would leave Huang Zhonghuai. However, revenge was on Guan Zhu's mind, and she could not let go of Yao Yu'an, so she rejected Lian Jin again.
However, Huang Zhonghuai was not sincere towards Guan Zhu either. He assigned a money laundering project to Guan Zhu just to use Guan Zhu as a scapegoat at a critical moment.
Lian Jin accidentally learned about this matter and reminded Guan Zhu. He thought Guan Zhu would be disappointed with Huang Zhonghuai and break up with him. What he didn't expect was that Guan Zhu still stayed by Huang Zhonghuai's side as if nothing had happened.
Lian Jin thought Guan Zhu was blinded by love, disappointed and angry, and decided to no longer care about Guan Zhu's affairs. The project under Guan Zhu's management finally collapsed, and Guan Zhu was pushed out as a scapegoat.
At this moment, Lian Jin found that he still couldn't help his love for Guan Zhu, and couldn't help but help, but his ability was limited and he couldn't turn the situation around.
At this critical juncture, Guan Zhu suddenly throws out evidence of Huang Zhonghuai's bribery and money laundering, turning the situation around. Huang Zhonghuai is arrested, and Guan Zhu is also expelled from the company and becomes an abandoned child.
Lian Jin found Guan Zhu at this time and asked her why she did this. Guan Zhu then told him the story of herself and Yao Yu'an.
Lian Jin wanted to invite Guan Zhu to join his company to solve her problem, but was rejected by his company. Guan Zhu also suddenly disappeared. Lian Jin searched for Guan Zhu for a long time but couldn't find her, so he gave up.
A year later, a building developed by Lian Jin's company encountered numerous problems due to heavy rain. The materials supplier was suspected of nepotism in the bidding process, resulting in inferior materials and substandard service. This caused the project to be plunged into a huge public opinion crisis and seemed to be on the verge of collapse. As the deputy general manager in charge, Lian Jin was overwhelmed by the relevant matters and had to switch materials suppliers.
Guan Zhu suddenly appeared at this time as the boss of a newly established construction materials company and contacted him.
Lian Jin only then realized that in the past year, Guan Zhu could no longer join any real estate company due to the non-compete agreement, and he could not gain the trust of any company because of his overthrow of Huang Zhonghuai, so he started from scratch and began to make building materials.
-
This is the end of the story of "The Golden Age".
Whether Lian Jin and Guan Zhu were together or what happened next was not further elaborated.
This story mainly revolves around Guan Zhu's goal of revenge, unfolding a picture of the booming real estate industry.
The story focuses entirely on the battle between Lian Jin and Guan Zhu. In the early stages, they competed internally within the company, and later on, they competed on behalf of different companies. There are many business battles, and they are written very vividly.
But unfortunately, these scenes have nothing to do with Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe basically appears in Guan Zhu's memories, appearing as a white moonlight-like existence.
After reading the entire script, Lu Yanhe realized that his role was both important and unimportant.
The most important thing is the perfection of his character. In this professional drama, no one is a good person in the purest sense, including the male and female protagonists, who all do whatever it takes for their jobs. Only he, from the image of the school idol at the beginning, to the image of a warm boyfriend when he is with Guan Zhu, and then to the heroic image of rushing to the front to protect Guan Zhu, every appearance makes the image of Yao Yu'an more perfect.
What's not important is his disconnect from the main plot. He doesn't appear in the main business battle plot. He is Guan Zhu's comfort when she is tired, his warmth when she can't sleep, and his beacon when she makes moral choices and struggles. In short, he is incompatible with the main plot.
On the one hand, Lu Yanhe understood why Jiang Yuqian and Chen Ziyan thought this role would be popular and would help his career advance a big step. On the other hand, he also felt a little regretful. If he could play Lian Jin, it would be a truly flesh-and-blood character, with changes, complex sides, and different performance spaces. Even if it was not Lian Jin, the role of Huang Zhonghuai was also very full, a selfish person who was bad to the core.
But Lu Yanhe can only play Yao Yu'an.
-
The process of trying on and finalizing makeup for Lu Yanhe was simple, but very long, which made him feel boring.
Because of this process, he is just a prop, discussed, designed and manipulated by others.
He followed their ideas, constantly changing his clothes and hairstyle. He tried six or seven hairstyles and kept changing wigs.
Finally, one of the hairstyles was decided upon.
A bit more youthful and sunny.
After finalizing the overall look, the costume designer matched him with eight sets of clothes, asked him to change into each one, took photos in each set, and simultaneously sent them to director Luo Yuzhong for confirmation.
There are several styles, including daily casual style, white shirt style, etc.
This trip took about five hours.
Lu Yanhe had a box lunch with everyone at noon.
The food was pretty good, with a big chicken leg, and Lu Yanhe was very satisfied.
It was 3:30 in the afternoon when Lu Yanhe finished his makeup and left with Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan said, "I don't plan to assign you an assistant for this film. Your current income is relatively low and can't even cover the salary of an assistant. That's one thing, but I also want you to develop your basic survival skills and not develop the habit of just asking for everything, okay?"
Lu Yanhe nodded: "Okay."
Chen Ziyan smiled, nodded, and said, "That's it. After you finish recording 'Young Days', I'll consider whether to assign you an assistant."
"good."
It wasn't that Chen Ziyan needed the money. Even if Lu Yanhe couldn't cover an assistant's salary, the company could. It wasn't like Chen Ziyan didn't even have the authority to do so within the company. But as Chen Ziyan had just said, Lu Yanhe was filming a movie, and his workload wasn't heavy. There was no need for a dedicated assistant to accompany him. He wasn't that busy yet.
"You won't have any scenes for the next few days. I told Lei Shuangcheng you can observe the set and get a feel for how it works. Your scenes won't be scheduled for about a week," Chen Ziyan said. "Originally, assistant director He Xun was going to shoot your scenes, but Luo Yuzhong decided to direct them himself. You should seize this opportunity and learn more from Director Luo."
"good."
Chen Ziyan was ready to leave.
Normally, for a job like this, Chen Ziyan didn't have to personally send Lu Yanhe over, but because it was Lu Yanhe's first play, Chen Ziyan was a little concerned about it, so she personally sent Lu Yanhe over.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan returned to the hotel together.
Chen Ziyan checked out and prepared to return to Yuming.
"You're on the set alone, so take good care of yourself. If you have any legitimate needs, just ask them normally. Don't be afraid of bothering others or putting yourself in a difficult position." Chen Ziyan instructed, "If there's anything you can't resolve, just tell me. I'm leaving now and will come to see you in two days. I'll also bring the cooperation contract from Yemai.com."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Ziyan."
-
As soon as Chen Ziyan left, Lu Yanhe stayed in the hotel alone, and suddenly felt a sense of strangeness that he had to face this unfamiliar environment alone.
He suddenly realized a very important issue.
Chen Ziyan is gone. If he wants to go to the set tomorrow, who should he contact?
Chen Ziyan was the one who contacted everyone before, so Lu Yanhe didn't care about anything and just followed Chen Ziyan.
Now that Chen Ziyan is gone, Lu Yanhe has to handle all these matters by himself, even small things like how to get to the set, which he needs to figure out by himself.
Fortunately, I added everyone as my friend yesterday.
Lu Yanhe thought about it and decided to send a message to Lei Shuangcheng: Brother Lei, I am Yanhe. I asked Sister Zi Yan to communicate with you before. I want to go to the scene to observe and learn in the next few days. I wonder who I can contact tomorrow to take me to the set?
Lei Shuangcheng did not reply.
Lu Yanhe didn't ask any further questions.
About half an hour later, Lei Shuangcheng pushed over a business card and said: You contact Xiao Zhao, he is my assistant.
Lu Yanhe immediately replied "thank you" and added this "Xiao Zhao": Hello Brother Zhao, I am Lu Yanhe.
"Xiao Zhao"'s ID name is Zhao Yuheng, which is obviously his real name.
He quickly accepted Lu Yanhe's friend request.
Lu Yanhe asked again.
Zhao Yuheng also pushed over a business card: He is the shuttle bus driver Brother Cao, you contact him.
Lu Yanhe had no choice but to add Brother Cao as his friend: Hello Brother Cao, I am Lu Yanhe.
Five minutes later, it showed that the other party rejected his friend request.
???
Lu Yanhe was stunned and didn't react.
What is going on?
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yanhe wondered if this Brother Cao didn't know who Lu Yanhe was?
He had no choice but to apply for friend status again: Hello Brother Cao, I am Lu Yanhe, the actor from "The Golden Age".
Three minutes later, Brother Cao passed.
Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing Lu Yanhe's purpose, Brother Cao threw a schedule to him and said: This is the daily schedule for traveling between the hotel and the set. Look at the time. If you want to go to the set, just arrive at the hotel entrance five minutes in advance and wait.
Lu Yanhe: Thank you, Brother Cao.
Brother Cao replied with a "polite" emoticon.
Just to get to the set, I added two friends and it took me almost half an hour.
Lu Yanhe felt a little melancholy, but he also knew that this was probably Chen Ziyan's intention, to let him experience these things personally and accumulate social experience.
Chen Ziyan’s requirement for artists has always been to delve into real life and not to be artists who are out of touch with the world.
Their route is not the artist route either.
-
Driver class.
Cao Yong put down his phone and asked, "Who is this Lu Yanhe? There's an actor named Lu Yanhe on our crew. Do you know him?"
"Brother Cao, you're incredibly uninformed! He's incredibly famous right now," another skinny young man said. "If you search online, you'll find all the news about him getting a 657 on the college entrance exam. Everyone's talking about him."
Cao Yong was a little surprised when he heard this, "It's him?"
It seems that I haven't heard of it at all.
"That's him, what's wrong?"
"It seems like he's not very valued by the company. He's going to the set tomorrow, but there's no car to pick him up, and he even asked me about the shuttle bus schedule," Cao Yong said. "That shouldn't be the case. He's not some unknown little actor anymore. Isn't he quite popular lately?"
"Maybe it's just because his college entrance exam results are so popular that he's not valued by the company? Is he not very popular?"
"Alas, in this world, everything depends on popularity." Someone curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Cao Yong said: "I feel that this actor is quite polite."
"What's the point of being polite? I was quite polite before I became famous, but now that I'm famous, my eyes are up to the sky."
"Hahaha, that's right."
-
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe faced a new problem: where to have dinner?
The crew should have specially arranged dinner for both the crew on set and the staff staying in the hotel, but Lu Yanhe was not on the notice list at the moment and no one greeted him.
Lu Yanhe thought about it and decided not to bother others. He decided to go out for a walk and find a small restaurant to have dinner.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Huang Kairen in the elevator.
Huang Kairen was accompanied by his assistant, a little girl with a ponytail.
Seeing Lu Yanhe, Huang Kairen smiled and greeted him: "Yanhe, are you going to have dinner?"
Lu Yanhe nodded and called him Brother Ren.
Huang Kairen is 29 years old this year. He graduated from a professional college and started acting right after graduation. He has been working steadily and is now a well-known first-line actor. However, his commercial value is slightly inferior to Jiang Yuqian.
"Let's go together. I happen to have an appointment with Li Qian and Wang Yunfan to have dinner together." Huang Kairen invited enthusiastically.
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and said, "Okay, thank you, Brother Ren."
Huang Kairen is enthusiastic about Lu Yanhe because he saw Chen Ziyan's attitude towards Lu Yanhe, and also because Lu Yanhe has been very popular recently.
"Do you have a car?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head.
"Then get in my car." Huang Kairen invited Lu Yanhe to get in the car with him and drove to the hotel.
Huang Kairen was also quite curious about Lu Yanhe and asked about his college entrance examination studies.
"I have a younger brother whose academic performance is really worrying. He will be in the third year of junior high school in the second half of the year. He will take the high school entrance exam this time next year, and I don't know how he will do."
Perhaps because the biggest label associated with him is reading, the topic Huang Kairen brought up when talking to him was also reading.
Lu Yanhe didn't know how to respond to this.
Do you mean to say “one year is enough”?
Huang Kairen had no intention of learning from Lu Yanhe, he was just chatting with Lu Yanhe.
"Did you manage your entire senior year of high school by yourself? Didn't you hire a teacher to give you extra lessons?" he asked.
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "No, I don't have much income, so how can I afford to hire a teacher to help me with tutoring?"
"Then you're really amazing. I heard before that your company hired a teacher to give you special training." Huang Kairen changed the subject, "However, even if it was special training, you are unique in the entertainment industry to be able to achieve such results. There will definitely be many programs in Beijing and Taiwan looking for you in the future. Your image as a top student is legitimate and is the image of an artist that everyone likes to see."
Lu Yanhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"So I'm going to follow the mom and dad route from now on, right?"
"It's worth considering. You know, after my parents found out about your college entrance exam results, they asked me several times if I knew you and if they could let my brother come and learn from you." Huang Kairen shook his head. "I said, there are plenty of top students in his school. If he wants to learn from them, he should go to the top students in his own school. Why go far away? Whenever they hear about a top student somewhere, their eyes light up and they can't wait to take my brother to share in the glory, as if that would help him become enlightened."
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Brother Ren, you and your brother must have a very good relationship, right?"
"What a bullshit! You never call me brother when we meet. What a rude little brat." Huang Kairen scolded with a smile.
You can tell from the moment you hear it that the two of them have a good relationship.
Lu Yanhe laughed.
-
"Has Huang Kairen set off?"
"I left the hotel ten minutes ago and am almost here." Wang Yunfan put down his phone and glanced at Li Qian who pushed the door open. Seeing her, his eyes curved and he smiled, saying, "Wow, you're dressed so nicely, who are you showing it to?"
Li Qian immediately glared at Wang Yunfan and said, "I'm wearing this for myself, is that not okay?"
"Okay, of course." Wang Yunfan said, "But I remind you, Huang Kairen has always been single, so don't flirt with him."
"You still say, what does whether I dress well or not have anything to do with Huang Kairen." Li Qian rolled her eyes.
Wang Yunfan shrugged. "You can deny it all you want. I only believe my eyes. Didn't you take this role just for Huang Kairen?"
Li Qian has starred in many hit dramas in recent years. She became famous and made a name for herself by playing supporting roles. Now she can even take on the leading role, and she also plays the supporting role. On the one hand, it is because the cast of this drama is very strong, so strong that Li Qian is willing to play a supporting role again. On the other hand, it is because the male lead is Huang Kairen.
Wang Yunfan and Li Qian were college classmates. He knew that Li Qian was a fan of Huang Kairen and liked him when she was in college. Later, when he entered the industry, he had the opportunity to meet him. Not only did his idol filter not get shattered, but he liked him even more.
"By the way, have you met Lu Yanhe? I heard that he has joined the team." Li Qian asked.
"No." Wang Yunfan said with a smile, "Why are you still interested in young men? It's not fair to have your cake and eat it too."
"Shut up, you stinky mouth." Li Qian rolled her eyes again. "I'm just curious. I'm a little interested in seeing such a great man suddenly appear. He got a score of 657 on the college entrance exam, so why would he want to be an actor?"
Wang Yunfan: "What happened to 657 on the college entrance exam?"
"What's wrong with getting 657 on the college entrance exam? How much did you get on the college entrance exam?"
"I'm an actor. Does it matter what my college entrance exam score is?" Wang Yunfan said. "Can I still win Best Actor even if I score higher?"
"You're just jealous," Li Qian pointed out bluntly, "You were originally the second male lead in this drama, but then Lu Yanhe came along and now he's getting more attention than you, so you're jealous?"
Wang Yunfan flatly denied it: "Nonsense, am I jealous of him? His company doesn't even value him, why should I be jealous?"
"How do you know the company doesn't value him? They didn't value him before, but they started to value him after the college entrance exam results came out."
"Come on, I joined the crew yesterday and they didn't even arrange a car. Tomorrow I have to take the crew's shuttle bus if I want to go to the set."
"You know all this?" Li Qian was surprised.
Wang Yunfan said, "My assistant said that, and everyone started talking about it."
Li Qian: "Tsk tsk, really anything can be leaked."
At this time, the door of the box opened.
Huang Kairen came in.
"Hey, Kairen is here."
"Kairen, you're here!" Li Qian stood up and looked at him with a bright smile.
Then they saw Lu Yanhe walking in with Huang Kairen.
"I ran into Lu Yanhe when I was going downstairs, so I brought him along." Huang Kairen said to the two people who looked a little stunned, "Do you know each other?"
Wang Yunfan and Li Qian felt extremely upset. The person they were talking about just now suddenly appeared in front of them the next second, as if they had just been caught doing something bad.
"Oh, I've heard of you for a long time!" Wang Yunfan smiled immediately and walked over to shake hands with Lu Yanhe.
Wang Yunfan and Li Qian are the second male and female protagonists in "The Golden Age".
Wang Yunfan plays the villain Huang Zhonghuai in the play, and Li Qian plays Jiang Yuqian's colleague Liu Na in the play.
Both of them are actors who have frequently appeared in popular dramas in recent years. Lu Yanhe has not seen their dramas, but he has an impression of them.
Lu Yanhe greeted the two of them politely.
Huang Kairen asked a few people to sit down together.
"Is this your first time meeting Lu Yanhe?" Huang Kairen asked.
"Yes." Li Qian nodded immediately and responded, "Kai Ren, did you know him before?"
"No, we just met." Huang Kairen shook his head. "Xiao Lu just joined the team yesterday, right?"
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Huang Kairen asked, "Have you ordered?"
"I ordered it." Wang Yunfan nodded. "But it's based on the portion for three people. You didn't tell me earlier that you brought an extra person. We need to add two more dishes."
Huang Kairen: "Then add it when the waiter comes to serve the food later."
"Xiao Lu, do you have any food taboos?" he turned around and asked.
Lu Yanhe shook his head.
Huang Kairen: "Then just add as much as you like when the time comes."
"I'm a little hungry." Wang Yunfan touched his stomach. "The lunch box on the set today was so bad. I couldn't eat more than a few bites."
"What lunch boxes were distributed today?"
"Tomato scrambled eggs, mushrooms and meat, and a chicken drumstick," Wang Yunfan said. "Add to that a large serving of rice. That's really not enough calories! Aren't you worried we'll look fat on camera? I suggested the day before yesterday that they prepare a light meal for us, but they haven't done it yet."
Lu Yanhe, who had enjoyed a hearty meal at noon, shut up silently.
Li Qian: "You work out every day anyway, so what are you afraid of?"
She turned to look at Huang Kairen, and her tone and expression changed significantly.
"Kai Ren, thank you for treating us to dinner today."
Huang Kairen waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite. I said before that we would find a chance to have dinner together. Today, I finally found the time. It's a pity that Yu Qian is filming, otherwise we could all get together."
Li Qian said, "Jiang Yuqian definitely won't come out. She never eats dinner."
"Is it so scary?" Wang Yunfan asked in shock.
Lu Yanhe recalled the dinner he had with Jiang Yuqian not long ago, and he didn't see Jiang Yuqian not picking up her chopsticks, so it was obviously not true.
Huang Kairen: "Yuqian is very self-disciplined."
"I'm very self-disciplined, okay?" Li Qian said immediately. "I've also started learning to dance. There's a dance variety show that wants me to participate, and I'm quite interested. However, it requires a couple to compete. Kairen, do you want to join me?"
Huang Kairen waved his hand and said, "I can't dance at all. If I were to participate in a show like this, I'd probably end up in disaster. Doesn't Xiao Lu know how to dance? You can ask Xiao Lu to go with you."
Lu Yanhe was suddenly called out by name. Before he could say anything, Li Qian said, "He's so much younger than me. How can I partner with him? There will definitely be a lot of people online looking for faults with magnifying glasses."
"Netizens these days are really picky about female celebrities. Li Qian attended an event last week, and someone seemed to be complaining about her look," Wang Yunfan said. "Someone seemed to be saying... your legs are too thick?"
Li Qian glared at Wang Yunfan and said, "Say it again!"
Wang Yunfan immediately smiled and said, "Don't glare at me. I didn't say that. Of course I know your legs aren't thick. Someone deliberately slapped your legs to make them look thick, and then a bunch of people started laughing at you. I never said Li Qian's legs were thick."
Li Qian snorted and said, "Shut up right now."
-
When several people get together, there is often a central figure who is the key to the organization.
Lu Yanhe knew that he was not familiar with them, so after sitting down, he did not try to integrate with them.
But judging from the current situation, Huang Kairen didn't seem to be very familiar with them. Most of the time, it was Wang Yunfan and Li Qian who were joking and bickering.
Lu Yanhe even keenly noticed that Li Qian's attitude towards Huang Kairen seemed a little different, at least completely different from her attitude towards him and Wang Yunfan.
And Huang Kairen...he often doesn't respond.
After realizing this, Lu Yanhe had a new understanding of tonight's dinner.
Could it be that he had inexplicably become a light bulb that shouldn't have appeared?
Huang Kairen's purpose of bringing him to this dinner table seemed to be less pure.
Lu Yanhe looked at Huang Kairen thoughtfully, and Huang Kairen happened to look at him at this moment.
When the two people's eyes met, there was a sense of understanding - Huang Kairen knew that he had noticed something, and he knew that Huang Kairen knew it.
Lu Yanhe silently withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and looked down at his phone.
Li Qian's topic still focused on Huang Kairen.
"Kai Ren, people say you were dating Zhang Miao when you were filming 'Si Fan'. Is this true or just a rumor?"
"It's a rumor," Huang Kairen answered without hesitation. "We were both completely confused. A rumor started spreading out of nowhere."
"Then who made you two play a couple in 'Sifan'? Everyone thinks you fell in love on set." Li Qian laughed a little happily. "Are you the kind of person who falls in love on set?"
Huang Kairen shook his head, "No."
Still answered very straightforwardly.
The smile on Li Qian's face became even brighter.
"Then why are you still single?" Li Qian asked, her eyes flickering as she propped up her side profile. "A lot of girls must have shown interest in you, right?"
Huang Kairen: "You're asking the wrong person. I'm filming every day, so I don't have time for a relationship. You should be asking this person who just graduated from high school. When you were in school, were there a lot of girls chasing after you?"
This topic turned...a big pot fell from the sky.
Lu Yanhe quickly shook his head and said, "No, no."
There was a hint of resentment in his eyes - You are such a mean person! You can't use me as a shield!
Huang Kairen used his eyes to reassure him and said, "That's impossible. You must be lying. You're handsome, have good grades, and no girls like you? You're just pretending we never went to high school."
The resentment in Lu Yanhe's eyes deepened.
Now he knew very clearly that Huang Kairen suddenly dragged him to dinner not out of kindness to take care of the younger generation, but he just grabbed him to deal with the current situation!
-
The set of "The Golden Age".
"Okay, time to call it a day!"
With Luo Yuzhong's order, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally finished work today.
Assistant Luo Xiaoyu ran over, looked at Jiang Yuqian with sparkling eyes, and said, "Sister Yuqian, you performed so well just now. I saw many people at the scene were moved to tears by you."
Jiang Yuqian's eyes were still red.
She wiped her still-dry tears with a tissue and said, "Let's go and have dinner. You haven't had dinner yet, so you must be hungry, right?"
Luo Xiaoyu nodded immediately and said, "I'm hungry."
The crew provided her with a special car.
Luo Xiaoyu accompanied Jiang Yuqian to a restaurant near the hotel.
"Just order some shrimp porridge for me. I won't eat anything else. You can take care of it yourself." As Jiang Yuqian sat down, fatigue came over her like a tide. She handed the menu to Luo Xiaoyu and asked her to take care of it herself.
Luo Xiaoyu looked at the menu and asked cautiously, "Sister Yuqian, I want to eat braised spare ribs and stir-fried river clams."
"Okay, order."
Luo Xiaoyu got the nod and happily went to the door to call the waiter.
"Hey——" Luo Xiaoyu shouted in surprise.
"Xiaoyu, why are you here? Is Yuqian here too?" Huang Kairen's voice came from outside.
"I'm here." Jiang Yuqian said and looked up.
Huang Kairen stuck his head in and met Jiang Yuqian's eyes.
"Oh, what a coincidence! You just got here? Just finished work?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yuqian nodded. "We filmed for ten hours today and I'm dizzy. Have you finished eating? Are you alone?"
"No, Wang Yunfan, Li Qian, Xiao Lu, all together." Huang Kairen said, "We're in the front box, do you want to join us?"
"Are you guys done eating? Forget it." Jiang Yuqian waved her hand and suddenly realized, "Xiao Lu? Are you talking about Lu Yanhe?"
"Yes." Huang Kairen nodded, "Your junior brother."
Jiang Yuqian thought for a moment and said to Luo Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, ask them to send the shrimp porridge to their table. When you finish eating, ask the driver to take you home. I'll take their car."
Luo Xiaoyu responded happily.
I can eat happily alone! -
While Huang Kairen went out to the bathroom, Li Qian and Wang Yunfan didn't say anything and just replied to messages on their phones.
Lu Yanhe did not take the initiative to speak.
It was obvious that these two people came tonight for Huang Kairen and were not very welcome to him as an "uninvited guest".
He even felt a little regretful that he didn't go to the bathroom with Huang Kairen.
He really wanted to ask Huang Kairen how he had offended him, why he was used as a shield the day after he met him.
Suddenly, Li Qian turned to look at Lu Yanhe, sizing him up and asking, "Are you familiar with Jiang Yuqian?"
Lu Yanhe said, "It's okay."
"You were recommended by Jiang Yuqian, and you're not a professional actor. Aren't you afraid of messing up when you start acting in Director Luo's play?" Li Qian asked.
Her tone was somewhat arrogant, as if she looked down upon Lu Yanhe, a "connected person".
Lu Yanhe was a little displeased with her attitude, especially the fact that Huang Kairen's attitude became less friendly the moment he left. With a hint of stubbornness and pride, he said, "Director Luo asked me to audition before letting me come. I hope I won't mess up my performance."
Li Qian was stunned for a moment when she heard him say that, then continued with a slightly arrogant attitude, "I hope so. Many people have high hopes for this drama, and no one wants to be held back."
Lu Yanhe felt downcast and a little annoyed, but it was not in his nature to get angry over such a small matter.
So, when Lu Yanhe, who was holding his breath, saw Jiang Yuqian coming in, he even thought he was hallucinating.
"Sister Yuqian?" Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise.
Jiang Yuqian greeted them, exchanged a few pleasantries with a smile, patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder, and said, "You're quite good, kid. You've already gotten to know everyone without me leading you there. I was thinking of finding time to introduce you to a few of them one of these days."
Lu Yanhe immediately said, "Brother Ren brought me here."
He even wanted to complain to Jiang Yuqian that Huang Kairen had brought him here today with ulterior motives.
Jiang Yuqian's manner of speaking to Lu Yanhe caused a huge uproar in Wang Yunfan and Li Qian's hearts.
Everyone knows that Jiang Yuqian recommended an actor to the crew to play the role of Yao Yu'an, but this is also very common. Many first-line actors will recommend one or two actors to the crew when they join the crew.
Jiang Yuqian is not a very friendly person on the set. She hardly interacts with others privately. It's okay to talk to her during normal times, but don't expect to get to know her better in private.
Jiang Yuqian rarely shows her care for someone in front of others.
So they were shocked by Jiang Yuqian's attitude towards Lu Yanhe today.
Even if she recommended Lu Yanhe to the crew, even if Lu Yanhe and she were actors from the same company, was it necessary for her to act like "I'm protecting this person" in front of them?

With Jiang Yuqian's appearance, Li Qian and Wang Yunfan finally shifted their attention away from Huang Kairen.
Especially Li Qian.
She is the second female lead in the drama, and there is some potential competition between her and Jiang Yuqian.
Of course, Li Qian wouldn't openly compete with Jiang Yuqian at this moment. Li Qian was a minor celebrity, but not yet at the level to compete with Jiang Yuqian. Jiang Yuqian was a top-tier actress, a legitimate star in the eyes of broadcasters and investors, capable of carrying a drama, not a packaged one like her.
In the industry, what does it mean to be a true first-tier talent? It means being recognized by investors, platforms, and advertisers. That's what it means to be a first-tier talent.

As soon as Jiang Yuqian arrived, Li Qian no longer hinted at Huang Kairen in any way.
In Lu Yanhe's opinion, she was almost concentrating on paying attention to Jiang Yuqian.
"Yuqian, I heard that after you finished filming "The Golden Age", you are in contact for another drama?" Li Qian asked.
"Which one are you talking about?" Jiang Yuqian asked.
After she asked, she continued to drink porridge with a spoon.
Li Qian: "I only heard it's called 'True Crossroads'? It seems like there are other actresses who are also in talks about this drama. But, since you want to act in it, this role must be yours, right?"
Her tone revealed a kind of flattery towards Jiang Yuqian.
Jiang Yuqian drank a mouthful of porridge, raised her head and smiled slightly.
"You seem quite well-informed. You're so interested in this drama. Have you been interested in it too?"
Li Qian quickly shook her head, smiled bitterly, and said, "How dare I compete with you."
"Don't say that, it's like I'm bullying you. It all depends on your ability. No one should play the role of a timid boy. When you were secretly sending paintings and wine to people in an attempt to snatch the heroine away from them, I didn't see you timid to compete with me." Jiang Yuqian stirred the porridge in front of her slowly and calmly.
But as soon as the words fell, the three men in the room instantly turned into stone statues. If you don’t speak, I won’t speak either.
silence.
Li Qian's face turned pale for a moment, as if struck by lightning. She looked embarrassed, but she quickly adjusted herself and said with a somewhat flattering smile, "Yu Qian, was there any misunderstanding between us before? I never thought of stealing your heroine position. This is not possible. Maybe someone misunderstood my meaning. Of course, I know myself well."
Jiang Yuqian smiled lightly and said, "Since it might be a misunderstanding, let's not talk about it."
At the same time, Huang Kairen felt emotional. When he heard Li Qian ridiculing Lu Yanhe outside the door just now, he saw that Jiang Yuqian had no reaction and thought that she had just an average relationship with Lu Yanhe.
Now it seems that it is not ordinary.
Jiang Yuqian slapped Li Qian hard in the face in front of them so quickly. Huang Kairen felt that Li Qian might never know why in her life.
