What is it like to wrap up filming?
Every actor feels differently.
Lu Yanhe felt a little empty... Well, this description is a bit vulgar, but that's indeed how he felt.
It was my first time acting seriously, and I did pretty well. It also gave me a strong interest and passion for acting. This kind of filming experience is an incredible start for any actor and is almost impossible to come by.
It's rare that your first play in life is with a very good cast, it's rare that your first role in life is a role very close to yourself, and it's rare that you have a natural acting quality in your first shoot.
Why do newcomers discovered by great directors tend to go further? On the one hand, their quality is already exceptional, hand-picked from thousands of people. On the other hand, they have laid a solid foundation from the very beginning working with great directors, which gives them a simple understanding of acting and prevents them from picking up bad habits.
Lu Yanhe felt that he had developed many good habits in the crew of "The Golden Age".
It was late at night when we arrived in Yuming.
Originally, Lu Yanhe planned to come back the next day.
However, because Jiangyin Publishing House had an event and invited Lu Yanhe to be a guest, Chen Ziyan talked to him and decided to attend. So, after Lu Yanhe finished filming that day, he hurriedly packed up his things and returned to Yuming with his suitcase alone.
Chen Ziyan drove to the train station to wait for him.
On a hot summer day, the evening breeze surges like waves.
Lu Yanhe came down from the station pulling his suitcase.
In the middle of summer, he came out wearing headphones and a mask, sweating all over his forehead, and found Chen Ziyan's car outside.
After getting in the car, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look at how sweaty you are. Wipe it off quickly." Chen Ziyan immediately took out two tissues and handed them to Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe took the tissue, wiped his sweat, smiled brightly at Chen Ziyan, and said, "Thank you, Sister Ziyan, for picking me up so late."
"Thank you for your hard work. I heard you performed very well in this play." Chen Ziyan's eyes were filled with tenderness and appreciation. "Director Luo Yuzhong spoke very highly of you."
"Well, Director Luo is really nice to me and even recommended me to another play," said Lu Yanhe.
"Director Luo told me it's 'Phoenix Tower,' directed by Chen Lingling," Chen Ziyan said. "He's also a nationally renowned director. If you can land this role, your starting point in the TV drama industry will be incredibly high. You'll be able to work with two of the top five TV directors in the country at once. Even Jiang Yuqian has only worked with Director Luo so far."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
He knew Chen Lingling's name. Luo Yuzhong had only told him that he'd recommended him to a play by an old friend, but he hadn't told him who that friend was. To his surprise, it was Chen Lingling, who had starred in the TV series "Dream of the Wind and Clouds." This drama, which was a huge hit twenty years ago, remains a classic to this day, and the actress who played the little princess is now one of China's top actresses, Zeng He.
"Director Chen Lingling's team has contacted me and arranged a meeting time, so we went to meet her," Chen Ziyan said. "But we don't know what kind of actor she wants for this play, or what role he will play. Everything is blank, there is no information at all."
"Blind audition?" Lu Yanhe blurted out a word he made up.
"Almost. But it's okay. Since Director Luo recommended you to her, it means that Director Luo must think you are suitable."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Tomorrow's event will be held at the Guangmao Building. It's a book fair jointly organized by over a dozen publishing houses. Jiangyin Publishing House hopes you can attend. We already have a cooperative framework with them, and our job tomorrow is to support them," Chen Ziyan said. "Tomorrow's book fair will have their distributors, as well as some heads of IP procurement departments from film and television companies. It's basically a sales pitch."
Lu Yanhe understood and nodded readily.
"Help them stand up and give them some cheers."
"That's about it." Chen Ziyan nodded. "I don't have any other work for the time being. You should rest well and enjoy this summer vacation. By the way, have you made an appointment with your homeroom teacher to pick up your acceptance letter?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "I haven't contacted Teacher Liu yet, so I don't know if he received it."
Chen Ziyan: "It's about this time now, but if she hasn't contacted you yet, she probably hasn't received it yet."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
When they arrived at the gate of Hongfu Community, Chen Ziyan stopped the car.
"Jiangyin Publishing House will arrange someone to pick you up tomorrow morning," said Chen Ziyan.
"good."
Lu Yanhe got out of the car, took the suitcase, stood on the side of the road and waved to Chen Ziyan in the car.
"Bye." Lu Yanhe said.
"Bye-Bye."
Chen Ziyan is gone.
Lu Yanhe pulled out the trolley and dragged the suitcase into the community.
-
There was no one in the room.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were both at work and were not around.
Lu Yanhe put down his suitcase and went to take a shower immediately.
After a sweat, take a shower and feel refreshed.
He asked in the group of three: Where are you all? I'm back.
Yan Liang: In Jiangguang, there is a commercial performance tomorrow.
Li Zhibai: I’m recording the show. It will probably be recorded until three or four in the morning today.
Lu Yanhe: Thank you for your hard work.
Yan Liang: You've finished filming? So soon? Didn't you say you'd be shooting until the end of July?
Lu Yanhe: Many of my scenes were moved to the front for filming, so I finished shooting early.
Yan Liang: Congratulations. By the way, the documentary you collaborated with Yemai.com will be released tomorrow, Sunday?
Lu Yanhe: That’s right.
Yan Liang: Wait and see.
Lu Yanhe: I have to go to Guangmao Building tomorrow to work on a book fair.
Li Zhibai: Are you the spokesperson for the publishing house?
Lu Yanhe: There is a cooperation agreement, not a spokesperson.
Li Zhibai: Of course, you are a cultured person.
Lu Yanhe: Blacklist warning.
He put down his phone with a smile and glanced at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.
I'm sleepy.
Get ready for bed.
Lu Yanhe was about to charge his phone and turn off the lights when his phone suddenly buzzed again.
At first glance, it was Chen Siqi.
Lu Yanhe immediately sat up again.
Chen Siqi: Are you asleep?
Lu Yanhe: Not yet.
Chen Siqi: I saw Jiangyin Publishing House released an event notice for tomorrow, which said that you will attend their book fair in Guangmao Building tomorrow?
Lu Yanhe: Yes.
Chen Siqi: Aren’t you still filming on the set?
Lu Yanhe: I finished filming today and just got home.
Chen Siqi: You are back to Yuming, so when will you go to Guangmao Building tomorrow?
Lu Yanhe: They will come to pick me up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and they should arrive at half past nine.
Chen Siqi: OK.
Lu Yanhe: Are you coming over?
Chen Siqi: Well, I will go over and take a look. You can recommend me some books then.
Lu Yanhe: Okay.
Lu Yanhe waited for a while, but Chen Siqi didn't send any new messages.
So he sent another "good night".
Chen Siqi didn't reply either.
Is this sleeping?
Lu Yanhe put down his phone, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
Just at this moment, the phone vibrated again.
Lu Yanhe's eyes, which had just been closed, opened again.
He picked up the phone again and turned it on.
However, the message did not come from Chen Siqi, but from Xu Xiaoyin, the editor of Jiangyin Publishing House.
She said: Yan He, we will wait for you at the gate of Hongfu Community at nine o'clock in the morning.
Lu Yanhe replied: Okay, no problem.
Lu Yanhe turned off his phone, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
Ten minutes later, Lu Yanhe opened his eyes again and glanced at his cell phone in the dark.
Only the small breathing light that indicates it is charging is on.
No news coming in.
Lu Yanhe sighed in despair.
It seems that he really fell asleep.

At Guangmao Building, since eight o'clock in the morning, many people have gathered at the door, waiting to enter.
Today is the book fair, and all publishing houses have put a lot of effort into this event.
Author signings, celebrity conversations, live cosplay performances, and various other activities will be staged in turn.
Chen Siqi arrived at 8:30.
She was a little shocked when she saw the huge crowds of people at the scene.
Chen Siqi originally thought that the publishing industry had long been on the decline and had no future, but she didn't expect that so many people would still come here to participate in the book fair.
"Chen Siqi!" Suddenly, someone called her name.
Chen Siqi turned around in surprise, not expecting to meet an acquaintance here.
When I looked, I saw that they were Li Pengfei, Lin Yu and Chen Qin.
"What a coincidence, are you here to see Lao Lu too?" Li Pengfei asked.
Chen Siqi: “No.”
Denied it immediately.
Li Pengfei looked unconvinced and mocking, and that look made Chen Siqi want to beat him up.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Let's go together. There are so many people here today, let's just support Lu Yanhe together."
Chen Siqi looked at them in surprise, "To save face?"
"When he appeared on stage, we pretended to be his fans and shouted his name loudly," Lin Yu said with a smile.
Chen Siqi looked at them in disbelief and said, "Are you so supportive of him?"
"Of course." Li Pengfei nodded as if it was a matter of course, and said, "If we don't support him, who else can we support?"
Chen Siqi suppressed her surprise, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Li Pengfei hooked his arm around Chen Qin's neck and walked forward.
Chen Siqi and Linyu got together.
Chen Siqi looked at Chen Qin and asked Lin Yu, "Which university will you attend?"
Linyu said: "We haven't received the admission letter yet, but we will both stay in Yuming."
Chen Siqi nodded and said, "That's great. This way we don't have to be in different places."
Lin Yu glanced at Chen Qin, then at Chen Siqi. She smiled slightly and said, "Yeah, what about you?"
"Um?"
"Will you stay in Yuming?"
"No." Chen Siqi shook her head, "I didn't apply to Yuming's university."
Lin Yu was a little surprised and said, "You should be from Yuming?"
"Yes, but I want to try living in a different city."
"You're pretty cool then," Linyu said. "You're brave enough to go to college in a strange city alone."
"Many people are like this, but many people don't want to leave Yuming."
Yuming is one of the largest cities in the country, with the best opportunities and resources.
In a prosperous place, everyone wants to come and few want to leave.
Lin Yu was surprised that Chen Siqi left so abruptly.
-
Jiangyin Publishing House's booth is on the fifth floor.
After the staff of Jiangyin Publishing House, led by Liu Cheng and some dispatched workers, set up the booth, she went to confirm their guests attending today.
Today, at the Jiangyin Publishing House's book exhibition, eight writers will hold a signing session, and Lu Yanhe has also been invited to attend to meet and greet everyone.
Liucheng confirmed the current status of the guests with her assistant.
"Xu Mingyue just met up with Lu Yanhe." Xu Xiaoyin said to Liucheng.
Liu Cheng nodded and asked, "Is Lu Yanhe okay with just sending Xu Mingyue to pick him up?"
"I explained to him that Xiaomei had suddenly developed acute gastroenteritis and I had to come to the scene to fill in for her. He was very understanding," Xu Xiaoyin said. "Don't worry, Lu Yanhe is different from other artists. He is a very sincere person."
"Okay." Liu Cheng nodded. "Have you confirmed all the equipment?"
"I've tried everything, and there's no problem." Xu Xiaoyin nodded.
-
"Teacher Lu——"
"Don't call me teacher, just call me Yanhe." Lu Yanhe interrupted Xu Mingyue and said with a smile, "If my teachers heard someone calling me teacher, they would probably scold me severely."
Xu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded, "Okay."
She was a little nervous, worried that the way she addressed him would make Lu Yanhe unhappy.
Lu Yanhe didn't seem to take it to heart, and immediately asked, "When I get over there later, I just need to go on stage, say hello to everyone, and answer a few questions, right?"
"Yes." Xu Mingyue nodded. She handed a page of paper to Lu Yanhe and said, "This is the manuscript we prepared for you."
Lu Yanhe took it in his hand, glanced at it, and nodded, "Okay."
Xu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yanhe didn't even realize that he had reached a point that would make an intern hold his breath.
He read the manuscript carefully and silently. It was actually very well written and very elegant. It was a speech about reading that mentioned many books.
Lu Yanhe thought about it and started to make changes with his mobile phone.
He arrived at the Guangmao Building at 9:15 sharp and entered through a special passage.
At this time, the Guangmao Building was not yet open to the public, and many people were standing at the door, waiting to enter.
Lu Yanhe took a look from a distance and saw that there were more people present today than expected.
He was a little surprised.
“There are a lot of people here today.”
Xu Mingyue nodded and said, "The number of people present also exceeded our expectations."
Lu Yanhe arrived at the fifth floor. Liu Cheng and Xu Xiaoyin had already received the news in advance and were waiting for him at the elevator entrance.
As soon as he came out, Liucheng came over enthusiastically and shook hands with him.
"Hello, Yan He! I heard you rushed back to Yuming late last night. You must have worked hard!" Liu Cheng said, "Thank you for making this trip for our event."
Lu Yanhe: "Hello, Editor-in-Chief, you're welcome. I'm very happy to be able to participate in such an event."
After a brief greeting, Lu Yanhe was taken to the lounge.
Xu Xiaoyin told him that his expected appearance time was around ten o'clock.
Lu Yanhe nodded and continued to revise what he was going to say in the lounge.
Seeing that he was focused on his own things, Xu Mingyue did not disturb him. She came out of the lounge and said, "I'll come back at 9:50."
Lu Yanhe thought intently for a while and decided on a few points he wanted to share.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," he called.
The person knocking on the door was Liu Jiazhen, the author of "Nineteen Years of Crime Records".
"Brother Jiazhen." Lu Yanhe smiled when he saw it was him.
Liu Jiazhen still seemed to have some social anxiety and said, "I heard you were here too, so I came to say hello."
"Is there a book signing today?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Liu Jiazhen nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Yanhe: "That's great. Can I buy three more books for you to sign later? I promised a few fans during the live broadcast that I would give them signed books of yours."
"No problem." Liu Jiazhen said, "Thank you very much for helping me promote it."
"I really like "Nineteen Years of Crime Records" as well. It's very well written." Lu Yanhe smiled.
"It's going to be adapted into a movie and a TV series," Liu Jiazhen said. "I really wanted you to play the role."
"Um?"
"It's a pity that the producers have their own candidates." Liu Jiazhen's face showed real regret.
"It's okay. I was worried that my acting would delay such a good story from being seen by more audiences." Lu Yanhe said, "When I become more famous and can take on the leading role, I will star in the story you wrote."
Liu Jiazhen nodded. "It's settled then. I will keep writing."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe smiled happily.
"Long time no see, both of you." Mingyin suddenly appeared.
The female writer who wrote "Star Orbit" wore a very literary big pigtail today, wore a white knitted skirt, and exuded a forest-like atmosphere from head to toe.
Her bright smile startled both men.
Mingyin first congratulated Liu Jiazhen: "I heard that the film and television rights to 'Nineteen Years of Crime Records' have been sold and production has begun. Congratulations."
Liu Jiazhen's cheeks flushed and he said, "Thank you."
Mingyin looked at Lu Yanhe again and asked, "I saw on the news earlier that you were filming on the set. Did you take the day off today specifically to support us?"
"We finished filming yesterday," Lu Yanhe said. "I don't have many scenes to shoot."
Mingyin: "I still want to congratulate you. You got such good grades in the college entrance examination, and you filmed your first movie in the summer after graduating from high school. It's really enviable. When I was 18, it wasn't a good time at all."
Lu Yanhe: "No way?"
"Really? I did really badly on the college entrance exam." Mingyin smiled and said, "My parents cried. It was like the sky was falling."
Lu Yanhe didn't expect Mingyin to say that.
"Okay," he said, "but now that you've published your own book and become a writer loved by so many readers, they must be very proud of you, right?"
"No, now they think that I don't have a formal job every day and I just stay in the room typing. They think I will get depression and are very worried." Mingyin smiled helplessly.
