There is no way to stop the program halfway through recording.
However, there are artists who may leave the program they are recording midway for various reasons.
If they could stop recording halfway, Lu Yanhe would like to go with Chen Ziyan to find He Zhong and find out what happened.
But no.
The same goes for filming.
Although, according to common sense, you cannot leave the crew without reason before the filming is completed. After all, if you leave, the filming cannot be completed.
But even after signing a contract, some people still knowingly break the rules - they leave the crew halfway through filming and never go back.
This behavior is of course unethical and unprofessional, needless to say.
However, Chen Ziyan never thought that this would happen to her actors.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect to see Wen Minglan's name in such news.
-
At three o'clock in the afternoon, "White Bird Entertainment" published a news report about Wen Minglan leaving the "Sanchakou" crew without permission.
This piece of news became a hot topic within half an hour - because Zhou Lina, the heroine of "Sanchakou", liked this post.
At this time, everyone in "Young Days" was sitting in the living room. Some were preparing ingredients for dinner, some were playing games, and some were chatting, scattered in groups of three or four.
Lu Yanhe was talking to Peng Zhixing about what to write for "Jump Up" when Xiao Yun suddenly held up his cell phone and exclaimed.
Song Linxin was the first to ask her what happened.
Xiao Yun read the news about Wen Minglan again.
When Song Linxin heard this, she gave Xiao Yun a look, indicating that she was currently recording a program.
This topic is quite sensitive and indeed should not be discussed in front of the camera.
Xiao Yun received Song Linxin's gaze and silently closed his mouth.
But everyone had heard it and took out their phones tacitly.
Everyone has experience in recording programs. If there is anything that is not suitable to be said in front of the camera, just go to the group and chat by typing.
In the workshop, everyone showed helpless expressions when they saw this scene.
Of course, they had already discovered the artists' behavior through cameras, but they were helpless.
They clearly don't want to say something in front of the camera, so can they force the artist to say it in front of the camera?
Song Linxin was the first to ask in the group: "Wen Minglan, she's also a contracted actress with your Star Entertainment, right?" @Lu Yanhe @Li Zhibai @Yan Liang
Lu Yanhe hadn't heard the name Wen Minglan for a long time.
Although both are artists managed by Chen Ziyan, Lu Yanhe and Wen Minglan have very few interactions and are almost just acquaintances.
Lu Yanhe hardly has much impression of Wen Minglan. In terms of appearance, she is a girl with a generous and quiet temperament, and a pair of big and lively eyes like a deer. According to the classification given to her by the media, she has a forest-like appearance.
Lu Yanhe did not reply to the message in the group, but first looked up what was going on online.
However, not much information was exposed online. The reason why this incident became so big in such a short time was purely because Zhou Lina, the heroine of "Sanchakou", liked the report, which attracted the attention of many marketing accounts.
Zhou Lina is a popular actress, and her every move is watched by people, not to mention that she liked the negative news that exposed that a female actress in the same group left the group for no reason.
Zhou Lina's fans are extremely combative. It can be said that having followed Zhou Lina's rise to fame, they have a wealth of combat experience. Therefore, when they saw Zhou Lina click "like" on the post, they said nothing and simply followed their idol's attitude - they began to fiercely criticize Wen Minglan's behavior of leaving the crew for no reason.
Why did Wen Minglan do this?
While Lu Yanhe was puzzled, Yan Liang also replied in the group: We are from the same company, but we are not very familiar with each other, so I don’t know what’s going on.
The implication is that the three of them have nothing much to say about this matter, so don't ask them.
-
After Lu Yanhe learned about this, he became concerned about it and wanted to know from time to time if there were any latest developments.
But at this time, Chen Ziyan must be very busy, with many things to deal with. Even just dealing with the inquiries from the media would take a lot of effort.
Lu Yanhe didn't want to cause Chen Ziyan any more trouble at this time.
He could only follow up on this matter by constantly checking the Internet for the latest updates.
Obviously, everyone is curious about this matter.
Although everyone was sitting together recording the show, after this incident, everyone spent significantly more time holding their phones.
They are not all chatting in the group. They are probably exchanging information with other friends to see what is going on.
Gossip is like this. Once it spreads, it is like riding on the wind, accelerating step by step, and finally sweeping into a tornado, spreading across the world with great force.
This matter may seem to have nothing to do with Lu Yanhe, but it does have a little bit of connection. After all, they are two artists under the same agent. Even if they have no intersection, in the eyes of others, they are one.
Lu Yanhe didn't say anything, and neither did Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, but the attitudes of the people recording the show together changed one after another. This change could be noticed from their eyes, micro-expressions, movements, and so on.
Lu Yanhe knew without asking that everyone must have known that Wen Minglan and he had the same agent and had a close relationship - in fact, the last four words were not true, but Lu Yanhe could not explain because no one would come to confirm the authenticity of this matter with him.
-
Chen Ziyan definitely doesn't have the time and energy to care about He Zhong's affairs.
Lu Yanhe now regrets not adding He Zhong's contact information before.
Otherwise, he could contact He Zhong himself now.
In the evening, Liu Zhiyin suddenly suggested that everyone go to the yard to watch the stars together.
"There are so many stars tonight, and they are very bright," said Liu Zhiyin.
Song Linxin immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, I've always wanted to see the stars, but I've never seen them before. We're not in the city, so the stars must be very bright."
So, on a whim, the group went outside to look at the stars.
We originally planned to just look at it in the yard, but a few girls said that we could go to the wilderness outside to look at it, which would be more interesting, so we all went to the wilderness together.
Because it was a sudden idea, it also put some pressure on the cameramen of the program crew, who hurriedly carried the cameras and went out with others.
"What a bunch of young people, they are capable of doing such a romantic thing." Zheng Hesong said to Li Zhenzhen.
Li Zhenzhen smiled and said, "That's why everyone loves young people."
Li Zhenzhen: "I'm going to the bathroom, you keep an eye on me."
Zheng Hesong nodded.
Li Zhenzhen walked out of the workshop and was about to go to the bathroom, but saw Chen Mo's back turning past her.
Why didn't she follow Lu Yanhe out again?
When Li Zhenzhen saw Chen Mo's back appear here, anger suddenly rose in her heart.
She followed quickly.
She wanted to see what Chen Mo was doing!
When Li Zhenzhen saw Chen Mo walk into Lu Yanhe's bedroom, her face was full of surprise and astonishment.
What was Chen Mo doing in Lu Yanhe's room at this time?
Adjust the lens?
After Chen Mo entered Lu Yanhe's room, he closed the door from the inside.
She turned her head and looked around.
There weren't many things in the room, unlike other artists' rooms which were filled with all sorts of sundries and personal belongings.
The cameras have been paused - Chen Mo pressed the pause button.
Because there is no one in the room, the picture will appear still and will not be noticed.
Now, all we have to do is hurry up and install this program on Lu Yanhe's computer.
Chen Mo took a deep breath.
-
"No one?" Li Zhenzhen asked Zheng Hesong in disbelief. "I saw Chen Mo enter Lu Yanhe's room, and you tell me there's no one in Lu Yanhe's room now?"
Zheng Hesong's voice also sounded innocent. "But I really don't see anyone here. All the cameras are... Hey! Wait, I see. The cameras in Lu Yanhe's room are paused. The footage is a frozen frame."
"Pause?" Li Zhenzhen frowned. At this moment, she confirmed a guess in her mind.
Sure enough, what did Chen Mo want to do secretly behind everyone's back?
What does she want to do?!
Li Zhenzhen rushed to Lu Yanhe's room in anger, grabbed the door handle and opened the door directly.
"What are you doing?" The moment Li Zhenzhen opened the door, before she even saw Chen Mo, she blurted out a question.
Chen Mo was sitting in front of Lu Yanhe's laptop, working on something, when Li Zhenzhen suddenly rushed in. She was frightened and looked up at Li Zhenzhen at a loss.
"I--" At this moment, Chen Mo's mind was blank. Facing Li Zhenzhen's angry face, Chen Mo's mind was working rapidly, hoping to find a reasonable excuse and reason. But maybe it was because Li Zhenzhen's anger was too oppressive, Chen Mo couldn't come up with a suitable excuse.
-
When a staff member suddenly asked Lu Yanhe to go back, Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
Why would they suddenly ask him to go back alone when everyone was looking at the stars and chatting?
"Is there something wrong?" Lu Yanhe asked in a low voice.
The other party nodded and said, "The director wants you to go back. I have something to tell you."
Lu Yanhe followed the other party back.
He was taken to a room that was designated as the production crew's work area.
Artists generally don't enter this place, and it's also a restricted area for cameras.
While Lu Yanhe was confused, as soon as he entered, he saw Li Zhenzhen and Chen Mo sitting in the room. The former's face was full of anger, while the latter looked panicked and at a loss. This difference made Lu Yanhe even more confused.
"Director, Sister Mo, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Zhenzhen glanced at Chen Mo and said, "You tell me yourself."
Chen Mo glanced at Lu Yanhe nervously.
Lu Yanhe also felt even more strange.
"I'm sorry, Yan He, I secretly looked at your computer when you were not around." Chen Mo said with his head down.
When speaking, Chen Mo didn't dare to look up.
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized it in disbelief.
It was actually her?!
Chen Mo suddenly stood up and bowed to Lu Yanhe. "I'm so sorry, Yanhe. Knowing that the plans for the subsequent recordings were all yours, I became obsessed and wanted to find your other ideas in your computer."
"What?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
"Plagiarism." Li Zhenzhen suddenly uttered these two words. She glared at Chen Mo angrily, "I'm sorry, Yan He, I didn't expect someone like you to appear in my team. She set her sights on you and wanted to take your variety show idea for herself. This is plagiarism, and I just happened to catch her."
Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Mo in surprise.
Plagiarism?
Is this her excuse for installing a Trojan horse on his laptop?
Lu Yanhe doesn't believe in plagiarism at all.
After further communication, Lu Yanhe realized that it was Chen Mo who secretly entered his room and used his computer, and was caught red-handed by Li Zhenzhen.
Li Zhenzhen obviously believed this statement. She didn't know about the Trojan horse incident, and besides plagiarism, Li Zhenzhen couldn't imagine any other motive.
In a split second, Lu Yanhe had made up his mind and decided to go along with Chen Mo's lie and not expose the Trojan horse at this time.
"Why do you do this?" Lu Yanhe showed a puzzled expression.
Chen Mo kept his head down, his voice full of guilt as he said, "I'm so sorry, I, I..."
Chen Mo hesitated for a long time, but didn't say anything for a long time.
Li Zhenzhen took a deep breath. "You can't say it, so let me tell you. She wants to get your creative ideas and propose them as her own proposal. If they're adopted, she'll get a generous bonus. Of course, the most important thing is that this will benefit her future career development. As long as these ideas are validated by the market, they will become her capital."
Chen Mo's eyes were red.
Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Mo hesitantly, feeling helpless and a little shaken - could it be that Chen Mo really just wanted to plagiarize his ideas from his computer?
At this time, Chen Ziyan called.
Lu Yanhe took out his cell phone and said to them, "I'm going to go out and answer a call first."
Li Zhenzhen nodded, "Yan He, I'm sorry about this."
Lu Yanhe glanced at her, shook his head, and went outside to answer the phone.
-
"I've been to He Zhong, and he won't say anything." Chen Ziyan's tone revealed a hint of helplessness. "He's too stubborn. I can't pry any useful information out of him."
Lu Yanhe was surprised, "Sister Zi Yan, you went to see He Zhong?"
"Well, didn't I tell you? I'll go find him."
"I saw the news about Wen Minglan. I thought you were handling this matter."
"What needs to be dealt with has been dealt with. Minglan's case is much easier to handle than yours." Chen Ziyan seemed frustrated because she didn't get any useful information from He Zhong.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanhe told Chen Ziyan about Chen Mo.
"Your PD? Chen Mo?"
"Yeah," Lu Yanhe said, "Even though she said she wanted to steal some of my ideas for variety shows from my computer, that reason... honestly, I think it's bullshit. I just offered some suggestions for the filming of 'Young Days'. How could she think I had more ideas for variety shows?"
Chen Ziyan said: "Maybe you wrote something related in your notebook and she saw it on camera."
"Doesn't this further prove she's lying?" Lu Yanhe said immediately. "Since she can see what I wrote through the camera, why did she risk logging into my computer? Isn't that unnecessary?"
"You have a point."
"What should we do next, Sister Zi Yan?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Ziyan said, "If it's confirmed that Chen Mo was the one who implanted the Trojan horse into your laptop, I'll go see He Zhong again and see if I can get him to talk. Also, I'll have someone investigate Chen Mo."
"Investigate Chen Mo?"
"You don't need to know more about this," Chen Ziyan said. "After all, it's not a legitimate method."
When talking about these things, Chen Ziyan always speaks in a nonchalant tone.
"Um."
"Okay, then I'm ready to come back too." Chen Ziyan said.
"Come back? Sister Zi Yan, where have you been?"
"I'll meet He Zhong at the airport," Chen Ziyan said. "He's leaving Yuming on an evening flight."
"What happened at home? He said he left because of a family emergency. Could it really be a family emergency?"
"I didn't ask. It's not important." Chen Ziyan said, "Maybe it's true, maybe it's an excuse."
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister Zi Yan, do you have his contact information? If so, please send it to me. If there's an emergency at home, I'll ask if there's anything I can do to help."
Chen Ziyan originally wanted to say, you are so old, even if something really happens to someone's family, you may not be able to help.
But then he thought again that Lu Yanhe had such an idea, which was worthy of encouragement, so he just said "OK".
-
After finishing the call with Chen Ziyan, Lu Yanhe returned to the room.
Li Zhenzhen apologized to Lu Yanhe again.
"Sister Zhenzhen, this matter has nothing to do with you. You don't need to apologize to me."
"No matter what, this happened on our show. I'm the director, so I have the responsibility." Li Zhenzhen looked at Chen Mo, "You should leave first."
Chen Mo twisted his hands nervously, nodded, and left the room.
Li Zhenzhen watched her leave before looking at Lu Yanhe again.
Lu Yanhe asked, "Sister Zhenzhen, how do we resolve this?"
In any case, since Chen Mo is now so suspicious, Lu Yanhe will no longer be willing to let her stay with him as a PD.
She had exposed herself.
Li Zhenzhen sighed and said, "The show is about to finish recording, and He Zhonggeng is leaving. If we rashly change your PD at this time, I'm afraid something might go wrong. Can you please put this matter aside for now and wait until the show is finished recording?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head firmly, saying, "Sister Zhenzhen, I cannot accept this approach. Her behavior has severely damaged me. If I continue to work together as if nothing happened, and word gets out, it'll seem like I wasn't dissatisfied at first, but now I'm being retaliated against."
"Then..." Li Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, "Then I can only assign you a new PD. However, since I'm taking over temporarily now, communication might not be smooth."
"That's okay," Lu Yanhe said. "It doesn't matter if you don't assign me a PD. We only have three days left for the recording anyway. I can contact you directly myself."
Of course Li Zhenzhen would not agree to do this.
How can we let artists take care of so many trivial matters on their own?
Seeing that Lu Yanhe was very determined, Li Zhenzhen no longer thought about persuading Lu Yanhe to stay for a few more days.
From the perspective of the program crew, of course it would be best if the program could be filmed smoothly.
But from Lu Yanhe's perspective, it is normal for him to not accept a PD with bad intentions towards him continuing to stay by his side.
-
Within one day, Lu Yanhe changed a photographer and then a PD, which surprised everyone else.
After Li Zhibai and the others came back, they happened to meet Lu Yanhe and the new PD to communicate.
At first, I didn’t think that this person was Lu Yanhe’s new PD. I thought he was just an ordinary staff member.
When Li Zhibai and the others learned about this, they were stunned.
"There are only three days left until the end of recording, why did they change the PD?" Li Zhibai asked Lu Yanhe directly.
Lu Yanhe explained that Chen Mo tried to steal information from his computer.
Everyone showed an incredible expression.
This can be called a scandal. If this matter is exposed by the media, the production team of "Young Days" will definitely become a huge scandal. Lu Yanhe does not intend to publicly accuse this matter anymore. However, he still wants to tell the truth to other artists and let everyone know that Chen Mo's departure was her own fault - to avoid being slandered behind her back.
"This is too outrageous." Li Zhibai's face was full of disbelief. "Is there something valuable in your computer that's worth someone stealing?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head, feeling embarrassed to say that people were attracted by his creativity and ideas for variety shows.
He himself found it outrageous.
After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
-
After brushing his teeth, Lu Yanhe looked at his phone. Chen Ziyan had sent him He Zhong's contact information not long ago.
After Lu Yanhe got He Zhong's contact information, he sent him a message, which was mainly concerned and inquiring. At the end, he said that if he needed help, he could contact him at any time.
Why do you want to help He Zhong?
If it weren't for today, Lu Yanhe wouldn't have said that. Because He Zhong rushed in front of him today, blocking the yellow-haired man, and because He Zhong reminded him to check his laptop before entering the cafe today.
Because of these two things, He Zhong's impression in Lu Yanhe's mind changed. Lu Yanhe was just like that. If others treated him well, he would definitely treat others well.
He Zhong did not reply to him.
At this time, he, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang's small group of three suddenly made a move.
Li Zhibai @ed him in the group chat and said: "You've been acting a little weird all day. What's wrong? You've been acting a little weird since you came back from that hugging mission this morning."
Because they were in a small group, Lu Yanhe did not hide it anymore and said directly: Something happened, and Sister Zi Yan is helping me solve it now.
Li Zhibai: You? Shouldn't Sister Zi Yan be helping Wen Minglan solve her problem now?
Lu Yanhe: I don’t know the specific situation, but according to Sister Zi Yan, the issue with Wen Minglan doesn’t seem to be a big deal and can be solved easily.
Li Zhibai: Okay, what happened to you again?
Lu Yanhe told them that a Trojan horse had been implanted in his previous laptop and that the culprit was most likely Chen Mo.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both made an expression of disbelief and were shocked.
By implanting a Trojan horse, the purpose of monitoring Lu Yanhe was achieved.
This incident doesn't sound like something that would happen in real life. It seems like a scene that only appears in a spy blockbuster, but it actually happened to Lu Yanhe.
Li Zhibai asked: So actually Chen Mo didn’t want to steal any ideas from your computer, but to implant a Trojan horse into your new laptop, right?
Lu Yanhe: That should be the case. Fortunately, Sister Zhenzhen discovered it.
Of course, even if Li Zhenzhen was not there, the moment Chen Mo implanted the Trojan horse into the computer, Chen Mo would be photographed and exposed.
Moreover, in this way, there will be direct evidence to prove that she implanted a Trojan horse into Lu Yanhe's laptop, violating his personal privacy, which is a crime.
It can be said that although Lu Yanhe said "fortunately", in fact, it would be "fortunate" if Li Zhenzhen had not discovered this matter by accident.
All I can say is that no matter what the expectations are, they may not necessarily lead to the desired results as expected.
Yan Liang: But why would Chen Mo plant a Trojan horse on your computer to monitor you? I don't understand why she would do that.
Li Zhibai: It’s right that you don’t understand. Who can understand this kind of behavior? Maybe you are just a pervert. Do you like Lao Lu and are a die-hard fan of Lao Lu?
Lu Yanhe thought about it and didn't continue.
There was no need to tell anyone about his life experience or the people hiding in the dark who wanted to hurt him, as this would make Li Zhibai and Yan Liang worry. Even if they knew about it, they would not be able to provide any help.
Lu Yanhe wanted to change the subject, so he asked Li Zhibai: Is there any follow-up to the Mengli incident?
Li Zhibai: There’s no such thing as a sequel. I just hope we’ll never have anything to do with each other again.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
He left the chat interface and prepared to go to bed when suddenly a news push popped up: Wen Minglan posted a message to respond to the controversy of leaving the crew without permission.
Lu Yanhe clicked it immediately.
Wen Minglan's response was short, but very powerful: "I did leave the crew of "Sanchakou", but it was not my breach of contract, but the crew's breach of contract first. The actual script shot was not consistent with the script provided when signing the contract. After I joined the crew, almost every scene I had was a fly-page (referring to content that is not in the original script, but improvised by the screenwriter on the spot). All the scenes that belonged to me in the original script were taken away from another actress. During the filming process, except for the name of the character I played, all other scenes were given to this actress. The screenwriter on the set wrote some clips on the spot every day and gave them to me to perform. The content was rough and had changed greatly from the script discussed with me when signing the contract. I am unwilling to pay for an irresponsible crew, nor am I willing to improvise a rough and perfunctory fly-page scene every day."
Wen Minglan's response directly pointed the finger at the crew and the script.
Immediately, Star Entertainment Agency also forwarded this response, stating that the crew of "Sanchakou" had seriously breached the contract, and the actors contracted by our company had terminated their contracts with "Sanchakou".
It was late at night and everyone was about to go to bed, but suddenly a response like this popped up, and it simply blew up the social media platform.
After reading this response, Lu Yanhe became even more curious about who the other actress mentioned in Wen Minglan's response was.
The response was ostensibly about changing the script, but in reality it was about stealing the show’s roles.
It can’t be Zhou Lina, right?
Zhou Lina is already the heroine, so she shouldn't steal Wen Minglan's role.
The next second, Song Linxin sent the link to Wen Minglan's response to the "Young Days" group chat. (End of this chapter)
