The debate about Lu Yanhe in the forum lasted for about two days. Since there was no new content, the heat gradually subsided.
The school is actually very big, but to Lu Yanhe, it is actually very small.
His social circle is not big. Apart from a few people in the dormitory, there are his classmates in the college.
It was not long after school started, and he hadn't interacted with other people yet, and in fact, he didn't particularly want to.
Lu Yanhe's daily work takes up a lot of his time and energy. When he is in school, he just wants to learn his courses well.
Studying is very stressful.
The large number of courses is one aspect. Almost every course assigns several required and optional readings. Lu Yanhe has to use almost all of his time, otherwise he feels that he will never be able to complete all the readings.
On the evening of September 19th, Lu Yanhe packed his schoolbag and returned to the house he had rented with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.
The second phase of recording for "Young Days" will begin the next day.
At that time, the program crew will still start recording from here.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both returned.
This is the first time Lu Yanhe has come back since school started.
So did Yan Liang.
Li Zhibai specially ordered a sumptuous dinner - all delivered by takeout.
"Welcome back two college students." Li Zhibai teased.
"With both of us away, aren't you feeling very lonely living alone?" Lu Yanhe asked immediately.
"I'm lonely? Haha, you underestimated how popular I am with girls. During the days you were away, I was partying every night."
"Do you think we two will believe you?" Yan Liang said with a faint smile.
"Grass."
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang walked in one after the other, both hungry. Faced with a sumptuous dinner, both of them immediately started to salivate.
"I'm so hungry, eat."
Li Zhibai watched the two people quickly picking up food, as if they were wolfing it down. He couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked, "Are you two studying at school or starving? Why do you look like you haven't eaten in a long time?"
The reasons for the two people are different.
Lu Yanhe said, "Because the program recording starts tomorrow, I've been in the library all day today, preparing for the next few days of classes. I haven't eaten a single bite and I'm starving."
Yan Liang said, "I have a physical education class this afternoon. I've been training all afternoon and have consumed too much energy. I urgently need to replenish my energy."
Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yanhe, then at Yan Liang, and said, "Are all your universities so strict?"
Lu Yanhe: "It's mainly because I have a lot of classes this semester. I have a total of twelve, and time is very tight. I also want to quickly complete the credits in the first one or two years to avoid being even more stressed later. Also, everyone around me is very hardworking. Everyone is studying hard. My roommate, Zhou Mukai, do you know how talented he is? He had already read half of the required books for several required courses before he started college, but I haven't read any of them."
Li Zhibai was overwhelmed by what he heard and said, "Alright, alright, I don't want to hear this. You're the most well-read person around me, and you're just leaving me speechless when you say this nonsense."
They ate and chatted.
"So what have you been doing these days?" Yan Liang asked.
Li Zhibai said: "I am reading the script. Zhou Pingan hired an acting teacher for me and is giving me guidance."
"Aren't you going to school? School has already started."
"My crappy school doesn't make any difference whether you go or not. It's full of idiots," Li Zhibai said. "It's better to learn from me, your acting teacher."
The play that Li Zhibai starred in later was called "Washe", which is a modern fantasy drama. In fact, it is still an idol drama, but it is covered with a fantasy coat and has more elements like this.
But this time, Li Zhibai plays the leading male role, his first time playing the leading male role.
"When will the filming of your drama start?"
"November," Li Zhibai said. "It'll probably take about fifty days to shoot. It's a twenty-episode short."
"Twenty episodes isn't a short time."
"Compared to the usual dramas that start at 30 or 40 episodes, this is indeed a short drama."
Lu Yanhe asked curiously, "Who is your female lead partner? What's her personality like?"
"She's a newcomer, someone from the platform. She's not as bad as Meng Li." Li Zhibai said, "Her name is Su Xiao. You probably don't know her. Oh, no, you might know Yan Liang. She's also from the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts, a grade above you, and also in the acting department."
Yan Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know her. She must be my sophomore senior. I haven't gotten to know everyone in the academy yet."
"Then this time it's your turn to carry the show," Lu Yanhe said.
"Yeah." Li Zhibai nodded. "So I was saying, Zhou Ping'an probably took this drama just for the high pay, so I can support a newcomer."
"That's not necessarily true. What do you think of the script?"
"That's all, it's okay." Li Zhibai shrugged. "It's just a love story. I don't find it interesting, but other people say it's very sweet and corny."
"Then you should listen to them. You didn't want to take the role in your last drama, 'To the End of the World with You,' but everyone really liked your performance there, and it convinced everyone you could act. Otherwise, 'Washing House' wouldn't have cast you as the male lead," Lu Yanhe said. "Zhou Ping'an's vision is pretty good."
Li Zhibai: "Whatever, I've already accepted it, so I can't possibly not act. I'll just have to figure out how to act well."
"It's already very impressive. Look at our Brother Bai's realm and awareness. He deserves a trophy for Best Actor." Yan Liang said with a smile.
Lu Yanhe also smiled and nodded, "That's right."
Li Zhibai had originally thought that they would play a game together after dinner.
It has been a long time since they played games together. Who would have thought that Yan Liang wanted to sleep after taking a shower, saying that he was so tired that his eyelids were drooping and he couldn't open them. Lu Yanhe wanted to continue reading.
Li Zhibai had no choice but to continue studying the script on his own.

The recording plan for the second phase of "Young Days" is entirely based on the ideas proposed by Lu Yanhe.
Li Zhenzhen said that Lu Yanhe's name should be added to the program's screenwriter team.
Chen Biqiu disagreed, "These are two different things."
Li Zhenzhen said, "We have adopted other people's ideas, so should we just use them directly?"
"He's a guest on our show, and it's only natural for guests to offer feedback during the production. He simply provided an idea, a thought process. Ultimately, it's up to the writing team to implement it," Chen Biqiu said. "If you do that, it'll have a very negative impact. If other artists come up with similar ideas in the future, shouldn't they also be included in the writing team? Every artist has their own opinions, and if we adopt and include them all, that's child's play."
Li Zhenzhen was speechless after being refuted by Chen Bijiu.
There was no way, Li Zhenzhen could only give up this idea.
But Li Zhenzhen is a person who really doesn't like "occupying someone else's nest" or "eating for free".
In her eyes, since the shooting ideas and the entire creativity of the second phase came from Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe's contribution must be highlighted.
Li Zhenzhen had no way to disobey Chen Bijiu and go against him.
After thinking about it, Li Zhenzhen came up with a solution.
The recording content of the first phase will be edited into three episodes.
Li Zhenzhen edited the film from a screenwriter's perspective. She wrote a lot of connecting words between the programs and used some narration and backup footage to present the program in chapters.
Li Zhenzhen's talent and ability were clearly demonstrated at this moment.
The first episode has been edited.
At the end of this stage of program recording, there is a segment where everyone watches the first episode together.
The first episode has been scheduled to be broadcast on September 25, which is the last day of the second phase of recording.
This time, the recording felt different from the first time right from the beginning.
Instead of being taken directly to the Youth House, everyone gathered on a bus.
Li Zhenzhen led the director team on the bus and announced the rules of this episode's recording to everyone.
When everyone heard that from now on, they had to complete the tasks assigned by the director team every day before staying in the Youth House, everyone was shocked.
Li Zhenzhen said, "As directors, we carefully listened to everyone's opinions on the first episode, reflected deeply, and decided to make changes and adjustments to the later filming. Indeed, a good life requires everyone to work hard with their own hands. Whether you can become good friends through this program is not something that can be cultivated by just living in the same house. So, now, please come forward one by one to draw lots."
"Draw lots? What lot should we draw?" Peng Zhixing asked first.
Before this recording, the director team had no prior communication with him, and even he had no idea what changes would be made in the second phase of recording.
The director team refused to reveal any information and just asked everyone to come up and draw lots.
But Lu Yanhe had a rough idea that this draw of lots should be for grouping.
Li Zhenzhen and the others should have adopted his suggestion and divided everyone into three groups to challenge three different tasks.
Sure enough, when the lottery results came out, there were only three kinds of lots, the letters ABC.
Lu Yanhe drew the letter C.
Qin Zhibai and Song Linxin also drew the letter C.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both drew the letter B.
Peng Zhixing and Xiao Yun drew the letter A.
The director team also said at this time: "From this stage on, two new friends will join our young team."
Everyone was shocked and looked at the director team in astonishment.
Two new people were going to join? This news was not told to them in advance.
Who to join?
However, the director team refused to say it directly and kept the audience in suspense. They set up member A and member B, provided some information, and let everyone start competing.
The way of competition turned out to be the game "I have it and you don't" that Lu Yanhe proposed last time. The group of the person who stayed until the end could choose first.
-
September 21st is Saturday, and tomorrow is Sunday. These are the only two days that Lu Yanhe can stay with the program crew all day to participate in the recording.
Therefore, during this recording, the program team proposed that they should complete the task in these two days in order to win the right to live in the youth cabin for the next few days, as well as the supplies they can enjoy in the youth cabin, including food and drinks.
Those who complete their tasks well can live well, eat well and drink well.
Those who fail to complete their tasks well will have to live in a worse place, eat worse, and drink worse.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what kind of tasks the program team had set for them to challenge.
However, the guests in their group already knew about it, but Group A and Group B did not.
After a round of PK and competition, the two new guests finally appeared and got on the bus.
The two new members are both girls.
One of them turned out to be the heroine that Li Zhibai would be working with in his next drama, Su Xiao.
Lu Yanhe and the others were stunned. Is this such a coincidence?
They had just mentioned her when she appeared as a new guest on the show "Young Days".
In fact, when the director team introduced Su Xiao, they also specifically introduced that Su Xiao would be working with Li Zhibai on a new drama, and also introduced that Su Xiao is now a sophomore student at the Beijing University of the Arts and is Yan Liang's senior.
There was a round of welcome applause from everyone.
In addition to Su Xiao, the other person is Liu Zhiyin.
She is a member of an overseas girl group and returned to China to develop her career. She is an all-round artist.
Compared to the more student-like Su Xiao, Liu Zhiyin was obviously much more lively and enthusiastic. After introducing herself, she said, "Because I haven't been on a show in China for a long time, I hope everyone can help me."
After saying that, she threw a wink at all the boys present.
It was the kind of deliberate, show-like flirting.
Lu Yanhe was still very surprised, surprised that the other person was so familiar with the effect of the program recording, unlike them, who were very dull.
But these two girls didn't seem to be causing any trouble.
Lu Yanhe also believed that after the experience with Meng Li, the program team would not look for an artist with an extreme personality again.
Once the two of them arrived, the three groups were determined.
At this time, the bus also stopped.
Li Zhenzhen said, "Okay, we've arrived at the location for our first mission challenge. Please get out of the car, Peng Zhixing, Xiao Yun, and Su Xiao."
The three people had no idea what was going on under the car.
The windows of this car have been specially treated so that you cannot see what is happening outside from inside the windows.
After they got off, the car continued to drive.
After a while, Group B also got off the bus.
Finally, it was Lu Yanhe and his group.
Li Zhenzhen said: "Please get off the car."
They were the last group of guests to get off the bus, and as soon as they got off, they saw a building.
This building is a place that Lu Yanhe is very familiar with.
The building of Jiangyin Publishing House.
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe turned around and looked at the staff around him in shock.
But no one came forward to explain to him why they got off here.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoyin appeared.
She walked out of the Jiangyin Publishing House building with a work badge and approached them with a smile on her face.
"Hello, three interns. I'm Xu Xiaoyin, an editor in the novel editing department of Jiangyin Publishing House. I've been commissioned by the 'Young Days' production team to assess your performance on this mission."
"Our publishing house is responsible for the book 'Jump Up,' and it's edited by Lu Yanhe—yes, one of you three. Our mission today is also related to this book." Xu Xiaoyin said this with a slight smile. "I must explain to everyone that this is not a promotional method we discussed in advance, and we haven't communicated with Lu Yanhe in advance. He, like everyone else, only just found out today's mission is related to 'Jump Up.' Are you prepared?" (End of this chapter)
