"What kind of scapegoat is she, making herself sound so pathetic? If she hadn't ironed her clothes in advance, this wouldn't have happened."
Chen Ziyan's voice on the phone was full of annoyance.
If Shen Yufang hadn't mentioned Lu Yanhe when questioning the crew, Chen Ziyan wouldn't have been so angry.
What did Lu Yanhe do wrong in this matter?
In her "small essay", Shen Yufang wrote about how the costume team of the crew over-reported the budget, saying that they made three pieces of clothing, but in fact only made two. She also specifically named He Min as someone who embezzled the crew's production funds. In order to conceal the matter and give Lu Yanhe an explanation, she fired her.
Between the lines, there is the bitterness and anger of the humble workers.
This "short essay" garnered considerable attention online, particularly due to the two names Shen Yufang mentioned in the piece: He Min and Lu Yanhe. He Min wasn't well-known, but Lu Yanhe was different. So, although Lu Yanhe was mentioned only once in the entire "short essay," and only in the phrase "to give Lu Yanhe an explanation and get him to shut down," Lu Yanhe became the person most affected by the controversy surrounding the "short essay."
In the Internet world, there is a topic that has a "basic popularity": inequality and unfairness.
Many people at least feel disgusted and resistant to the inequality and unfairness that happens to others.
Between "egg and stone", most people choose to support the egg.
In this incident, there was a famous stone and a less famous stone, so of course everyone attacked the famous stone.
Chen Ziyan edited a paragraph within three minutes and posted it directly on her personal social media: We are not aware of whether the problems with the costume team accused by Ms. Shen Yufang are true, but Ms. Shen Yufang’s claim that she was fired "to give Lu Yanhe an explanation and let him shut down" is seriously untrue. We have never made similar requests to the crew, nor did we know that Ms. Shen Yufang was "fired."
This kind of thing must be responded to quickly, otherwise the negative impact on Lu Yanhe will become greater and greater.
As Lu Yanhe's agent, Chen Ziyan's response certainly represents Lu Yanhe's attitude.
The content of his response immediately became a hot topic thanks to the platform's operation.
For the platform, as long as it is popular, it doesn’t care what the content of your response is.
The key is to have topics that will attract more people to watch.
Lu Yanhe's response and Shen Yufang's "little essay" made the drama "Phoenix Terrace" the most popular drama at the moment.
Of course, it’s not a good kind of heat.
Lu Yanhe could feel the cold atmosphere and low pressure on the set whenever he was filming.
He himself was actually a little embarrassed. After all, he was also affected by this incident. Chen Ziyan's direct response to Shen Yufang that she was "unaware" also pushed the crew into a more difficult situation.
Chen Ziyan responded so quickly because she wanted to respond before Huang Cheng contacted her.
Otherwise, if Huang Cheng came to communicate with her and let Lu Yanhe suffer a little grievance so that the matter could be safely resolved, given Chen Ziyan's relationship with them, it would be difficult for her to refuse.
Now that everything has been said, Huang Cheng can only face Shen Yufang's accusation head-on and can't try to save Zhao by attacking Wei from Lu Yanhe.
How to respond is a question that Huang Cheng needs to consider carefully.
Now that things have gotten to this point, the crew must issue a statement.
Lu Yanhe originally thought that Chen Lingling would be very angry about this. After all, he had seen her temper these days.
Unexpectedly, Chen Lingling did not react to this incident at the scene and was still concentrating on filming.
Many people at the scene looked at Lu Yanhe with complicated gazes that could not be described in words, but Chen Lingling was the only one who maintained her usual attitude towards him without any change.
Liu Biao was almost unable to control his expression, and his eyes looking at Lu Yanhe became somewhat hostile.
Lu Yanhe really wanted to say that he hadn't caused any trouble to him for this unprovoked disaster, so why should he be hostile to him?
But he knew all this himself, so it was useless to say it.
Even if you are wrong, who would really find fault with themselves?
Lu Yanhe just focused on doing what he was supposed to do on the set.
Two hours later, the crew of "Phoenix TV" issued a statement.
"The crew has launched an internal investigation and audit into the costume department issues raised by Shen Yufang. If confirmed, there will be no leniency. Shen Yufang's 'dismissal' was due to her inability to perform her job duties. She was supposed to provide actor Lu Yanhe with clean and tidy costumes, but due to her negligence, Lu Yanhe was unable to wear the original costume and complete filming on time. There is no connection between this and the claims of 'taking the blame', 'being a scapegoat', or 'making excuses for Lu Yanhe'. On the contrary, Lu Yanhe has been highly cooperative with the crew since the incident, and even when filming had to be delayed and he had to wait for several hours on set, he did not complain or refuse. We are ashamed of the inconvenience we have caused him."
The statement attributed Shen Yufang's "dismissal" to her own dereliction of duty.
This is also what Chen Ziyan complained about at the beginning.
"She didn't cause this mess herself, nothing happened. Now that things have gotten out of hand, she thinks she's been blamed and made a scapegoat. Who does she think she is?" Liu Biao complained even more harshly than Chen Ziyan.
One can imagine how angry He Min was when he was directly named by Shen Yufang.
He Min now wants to tear Shen Yufang to pieces.
"Then what should we do about this?" He Min was very uneasy. "Shen Yufang made such a fuss, and Huang Cheng and Chen Lingling knew about it. They will definitely not let her go."
Liu Biao sneered and said, "Don't worry, Huang Cheng has already discussed this matter with me. After all, we are both veterans of this team, so he will still give us this little face. He only pointed out to us not to overdo it. This incident has happened again, and we must give an explanation to the investors. I have already explained that this batch of clothes must make up for the missing pieces as soon as possible. We have a week. If we can make up for it, there will be no problem. At that time, we can just say that Shen Yufang is just holding a grudge and deliberately discrediting us because she was fired. Customizing clothes takes time and has a deadline. Lu Yanhe just didn't bring a spare piece of clothing. She already has two pieces of clothing, one of which was dry-cleaned, and the other one Shen Yufang didn't do a good job of ironing in advance. She still has the nerve to say that!"
He Min breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Mr. Huang, is this all you need? Nothing else?" she asked in surprise.
After all, based on her understanding of Huang Cheng, Huang Cheng should not let this matter go so easily.
Liu Biao said, "The filming is still in progress. What else can he do to us now? If he fires you, who will be in charge of the costume crew?"
He Min thought about it and nodded. Liu Biao was right.
She and Liu Biao are both veterans of this team and have their own teams. Currently, "Phoenix Terrace" is still being filmed, and Huang Cheng will definitely not let anything happen to them at this time.
Compared with projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars, what they get is nothing.
Huang Cheng would stop the investors from holding anyone accountable and finding out the truth.
Thinking of this, He Min felt a lot more at ease.
He Min suddenly thought of something and looked at Liu Biao: "What about Shen Yufang?"
"How dare you ask? How could this happen if you hadn't handled it properly?" Liu Biao said dissatisfiedly.
"Who knew she would post a short essay online? She's already signed a confidentiality agreement."
"Then sue her for defamation and violation of the confidentiality agreement!" Liu Biao said angrily. "If we don't teach her a lesson, others will follow suit."
He Min nodded: "Yeah."
"As for Lu Yanhe, you have to be careful and don't make any more mistakes. Lu Yanhe is nothing, but the Chen Ziyan behind him is not someone to be dealt with easily." Liu Biao warned.
He Min nodded, somewhat helplessly, and said, "It's so depressing. Lu Yanhe is also very troublesome. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be any of this."
Liu Biao glanced at him and said, "Lu Yanhe may have a lot of things to do, but who would wear such clothes if it were another actor?"
He Min was stunned and looked at Liu Biao in disbelief, as if he had not expected Liu Biao to say such a thing.
"Lu Yanhe didn't bring this up directly with Huang Cheng, so don't complain." Liu Biao said with a sullen face, "If you hadn't dealt with Shen Yufang properly, nothing would have happened."
-
No matter how big the clothing incident was, the heat gradually subsided after a few days.
However, the crew's attitude towards Lu Yanhe did not change again.
Everyone paid more attention and took his affairs more seriously, but they also kept their distance from him.
Lu Yanhe knew what was going on, but there was nothing he could do.
It's impossible for a person to want everything.
——Lu Yanhe is a very difficult person to deal with.
That's how the impression was formed.
Chen Siqi said: "It's difficult, but as long as you do your job well and have strong business capabilities, no one can say anything to you."
Lu Yanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "What you said to Sister Zi Yan is exactly the same."
"I used to hope to be perfect in every aspect, but later I realized it was impossible. I always had to sacrifice something," Chen Siqi said. "It's impossible to be a good person in front of everyone."
"Too."
Chen Siqi said, "I'm going back to Yuming tomorrow."
"Going home?" Lu Yanhe asked, "Or staying in a hotel?"
"I still have to go back for the New Year and take a look." Chen Siqi said calmly, "If you are not happy living here, then move out. If you can make do, then you can stay at home."
After a semester, Chen Siqi became calmer about her home.
Lu Yanhe hummed.
"Are you still filming in Langhua?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe said, "We have to shoot until the start of school."
Chen Siqi: "Don't we have a holiday during the Spring Festival?"
"Let's take two or three days off, but I have nowhere to spend the New Year anyway, so it's nice to stay on the crew." Lu Yanhe said.
"Let me come find you," Chen Siqi said. "I'm too lazy to stay at home 24 hours a day. Facing Liu Wei'an's face, I still need some time to breathe."
Lu Yanhe smiled and said yes.
Chen Siqi: "By the way, the new episode of 'City Travels' has aired, and many people are asking why you're not in it. Did you see that? Also, many people came to me and asked, a bunch of your fans."
Lu Yanhe said: "I don't have time to record. I have to wait until the filming of this drama is finished."
"I guess so. However, when you were not there and someone else took over, the audience was quite dissatisfied. It seemed like everyone was used to seeing you," said Chen Siqi.
Lu Yanhe: "They just didn't see me for a while, so they're a little uncomfortable. But they'll get used to it after a while."
Chen Siqi was curious and asked, "It sounds like you don't seem to miss 'City Travels' that much?"
"Of course not. I just didn't expect everyone to associate me so closely with 'City Travels.' Actually, this show was originally proposed by Xin Zixing. I was just lucky enough to participate in the first episode and then got on this express train." Lu Yanhe said, "Now everyone seems to think that I am the soul of this show."
Chen Siqi: "Because you are the main person on the screen, not many viewers will remember who the producer of a show is."
Lu Yanhe: "Yeah, I know."
"The audience only cares about whether your show is good or not, and the people who appear on the show are the ones the audience sees the most. They have a natural advantage, and there's nothing you can do about it."
"I know. What I mean is that it's normal for everyone to feel uncomfortable not seeing me on this show for a while, but as long as Xin Zixiong is still hosting this show, the tone of the show will not change," said Lu Yanhe.
Chen Siqi: "I know what you mean. I'm just curious. You don't mind at all. After all, you've been a guest on this show since the very first episode, but now the production team didn't have time to wait for you and found someone else to replace you."
"I don't have time in the first place, so do I have to keep them waiting?" Lu Yanhe said, "That doesn't make sense."
Chen Siqi sighed silently, Lu Yanhe is really a man of noble character.
There is an inexplicable pressure.
Chen Siqi didn't know how to describe her feelings. She had always known that Lu Yanhe was a good man, a kind person, but he was so good that it even transcended human weakness. Chen Siqi felt like she was wearing a pristine white gauze princess dress after a day of fun outside, and she didn't dare to touch it for fear of getting it dirty.
Lu Yanhe had no idea how much pressure his words and actions put on Chen Siqi.
Lu Yanhe asked, "When you come back tomorrow, will someone pick you up?"
"Of course not, what are you talking about?" Chen Siqi said, "No one would come to pick me up."
"Then I'll let Li Pengfei pick you up. He's already back." Lu Yanhe said.
"Ah?" Chen Siqi was stunned. "Are you crazy? Li Pengfei isn't your driver. Why did he come all the way to pick me up?"
"He is my brother, and you are... the person I like. So I can't come to pick you up, so what's wrong with him coming to pick you up for me?" Lu Yanhe said righteously.
Chen Siqi: "I can just take a taxi myself, no problem."
Lu Yanhe: "It's okay, he's the one in trouble."
At this moment, Li Pengfei, who was sitting in front of Lu Yanhe, rolled his eyes at Lu Yanhe, raised his middle finger, and silently cursed, "What a dog!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Pengfei said, "That's awesome, Lu Yanhe, you bastard! I came to see you, and you still arranged a job for me!"
Lu Yanhe said, "I don't have time to accompany you tomorrow anyway. I'll be on the set all day. Aren't you going home tomorrow too?"
"You're so welcome."
"Why should I be polite to you?" Lu Yanhe said confidently.
Li Pengfei was so angry that he laughed.
After a while, Li Pengfei said, "When will you take me to your film and television city?"
"Right away, wait until I finish revising this editor's note," Lu Yanhe said. "We have to send it to them today, otherwise it will be too late."
Li Pengfei: "Okay, you change yours first."
He took out his cell phone and immediately went to Xu Zijun to complain about Lu Yanhe's excessive behavior.
After some chatter, Li Pengfei asked: When will you be back? Have you set a time?
Before, because Xu Zijun had to work as a tutor, he had not yet decided on a time to return to Yuming.
Xu Zijun said: I am trying to get tickets, but I haven’t got any yet.
Li Pengfei asked: "If you have a fixed time, I can find someone to help you get the tickets."
Xu Zijun said: I can come back after the 27th, and I will be tutoring until the 27th.
Li Pengfei: Okay, I’ll ask someone to help you check the tickets.
Xu Zijun: Don’t buy me too expensive tickets.
Li Pengfei: I know, I know.
He immediately contacted his father's secretary, asking him for help with this matter.
-
Li Pengfei came directly to Langhua, and as soon as he got off the plane, he dragged his suitcase to the hotel to find Lu Yanhe.
It just so happened that Lu Yanhe had no work to do and was staying in the hotel.
Li Pengfei wanted to see the film and television city, so Lu Yanhe offered to take him there.
We haven't seen each other for a semester.
Not only Lu Yanhe became evil, but Li Pengfei also became evil.
"I play ball with people every day and run around outside," Li Pengfei said. "Basically, if I have nothing to do on weekends, I'll find somewhere to hang out. Sometimes I go to see Zijun, sometimes I just go shopping. If I don't have classes for four or five days, I'll go hiking in the snow-capped mountains with others. That's pretty fun."
Lu Yanhe didn't expect Li Pengfei to live such a wild life.
"I'm so envious."
"I thought it was fun at first, but then I started to get a little anxious. You and Zijun are both so crazy, each trying harder than the other. It made me feel guilty about playing." Li Pengfei said speechlessly, "Sometimes I even wonder if I'm just wasting my time."
"Didn't you say it yourself? You could just lie down and be a good-for-nothing for the rest of your life."
"Isn't this a bit unhappy again?" Li Pengfei said.
Lu Yanhe understood Li Pengfei's thoughts.
In fact, if the people around Li Pengfei were not him and Xu Zijun, perhaps he would not have such anxiety.
Lu Yanhe asked: "Have you thought about what to do?"
"I've thought about it, but I can't think of anything. There's really nothing that interests me. I'm good at eating, drinking and having fun, but forget about the rest," Li Pengfei said. "I'm not good at studying, and I don't have any other skills. I know myself well, but I'm really a loser."
"Then write about things that interest you," Lu Yanhe said. "I see there are a lot of people who are travel bloggers nowadays, right?"
"Become a blogger? Internet celebrity? No." Li Pengfei shook his head. "I don't need that kind of money."
"It's mainly about something you can call an ideal or a hobby," Lu Yanhe said. "It's not about being an internet celebrity and making that much money. It's about a sense of accomplishment. Many people don't have the conditions you have to put aside money and talk about their ideals. Many people struggle between their ideals and their livelihood. You don't have to struggle for bread; you just need to embrace your ideals. Of course, it's frustrating if you can't find them, but you can try one by one. The process of trying should help you overcome that anxiety."
Li Pengfei pondered for a moment, thought about it, and said, "It sounds like what you said makes sense. How about I manage my social media accounts?"
"You don't have to run a dedicated business. I just heard you say that you travel frequently and climb snow-capped mountains. These are experiences that many people want to experience. So you should carefully record what you see, hear, and eat, and even make a travel guide. Maybe it will help someone who also wants to go to this place in the future." Lu Yanhe said.
Li Pengfei frowned instantly and said, "Why does this sound like a personal version of 'City Travel Notes'?"
Lu Yanhe was stunned and laughed.
"That's true."
He suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up. "Why don't you come and participate in the recording of 'City Travel Notes'?"
"Ah?" Li Pengfei looked at him in confusion.
Lu Yanhe said, "If you're willing, I'll introduce you to the producer of City Travels. Would you like to join the filming crew?"
Li Pengfei said, "I can't take photos, and I can't do these kinds of stuff. Why would I join this team? Just to get in through the back door and not do any work? That's so embarrassing!"
Although Li Pengfei is thick-skinned, he has a strong sense of self-esteem.
Another thing is that he didn't want to cause trouble for Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe said, "It depends on you, whether you want to go or not."
He felt that, given his relationship with Xin Zixing, it wouldn't be a problem to arrange for one of his classmates to join Li Pengfei's "City Travel" crew. Li Pengfei didn't need a high salary, and the main thing was that he could learn a lot.
Li Pengfei: "Then I might as well become an internet celebrity myself."
Lu Yanhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
-
He took Li Pengfei to visit the film and television city.
Because of the heavy snow, the film and television city was also covered with white snow.
At this time, there were more than ten crews still working in the film and television city, and there were still a lot of people.
The two of them were walking together, and because they were wearing sunglasses, scarves and hats, no one recognized Lu Yanhe.
Just treat these two people as young actors.
Li Pengfei was surprised to see the various small shops on both sides of the road, some even selling grilled sausages.
“It’s like a tourist attraction.”
"This place was originally open to the public as a tourist attraction," Lu Yanhe said. "The tourism economy is even much higher than rent and other income, I heard you and them say."
Li Pengfei clicked his tongue twice, "It's really profitable."
Lu Yanhe: "The cost is quite high. I heard that if the market is not good, the losses will be huge."
"I heard that many celebrities have businesses here."
"yes."
"Have you considered that?"
"Me? With my income, forget it." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "To be honest, my current income as an artist is far less than what I can earn from 'Jump Up'."
Li Pengfei nodded and said, "I know, but it's also good. This way you don't have to take jobs you don't like just for the money. You can be more noble."
"That's not possible," Lu Yanhe said. "It's easy to die if you're too proud."
Li Pengfei laughed so loudly that his laughter startled the birds on the telephone poles.
"You're amazing. You say such things, but you do what an artistic young man does."
"Those are two different things. I just do something I like, but I'm not aloof. I have a very humble attitude," said Lu Yanhe.
Li Pengfei raised his hand and rubbed Lu Yanhe's hat, saying, "You're too humble. I was speechless watching the recent incident with Shen Yufang. It's none of your business. A bunch of people are looking for trouble with you. You must be mentally ill. If it were me, I would have just yelled back."
"There's no point in lashing out against them. They won't reason with you. The more you lash out, the more they'll lash out. This isn't me being humble, it's me taking the most effective, calming approach to resolve this matter," Lu Yanhe said. "This incident hasn't had much impact on my real life, but online, it's been so loud it feels like my entire life is being destroyed. I feel helpless."
Li Pengfei: "Don't mention it. After this incident happened, a few of us helped you scold those marketing accounts that attacked you and tried to gain traffic. They acted like you were an artist and it was only natural that you deserved to suffer losses and grievances. I wish I could dig up their ancestors and see how they reacted to being wronged."
"You must never do such a thing. Sister Zi Yan is absolutely right. As long as it's not a crime or violation of discipline, nothing can truly bring me down." Lu Yanhe said, "Let them say whatever they want."
The two of them were talking as they walked around in the cold weather.
Li Pengfei suddenly thought of something and said, "After you finish filming this movie, will you start school right away?"
"Well, we have to keep filming until school starts almost."
"So you're not going to spend the New Year on the set?"
"Yes, but even if I don't spend the New Year on the crew, I don't have anywhere to go back to." Lu Yanhe said.
Li Pengfei asked, "Why don't you come to my house for the New Year? It's just the few of us anyway."
"Forget it, I'm filming on the set." Besides, he also made an appointment with Chen Siqi.
"All right then."
Lu Yanhe took Li Pengfei to visit the set.
Li Pengfei has always been interested in the filming scene.
"Look at how you guys film your costume dramas."
As the two of them arrived at the door, they suddenly saw Shen Yufang talking to someone with an anxious, uneasy and confused look on her face. She wanted to go in, but the guard would not allow her to enter.
"What's going on?" Li Pengfei asked when he saw the commotion at the door.
"She is Shen Yufang." Lu Yanhe said.
Li Pengfei stared in surprise, "Her?"
"Well, the crew decided to sue her because she violated the confidentiality agreement and spread rumors. I guess that's why she came here." Lu Yanhe was a little overwhelmed and said, "Let's go in through a different door."
Li Pengfei nodded.
The two men turned and left.
Li Pengfei turned around and glanced at her, feeling somewhat sorry for her. "She looks quite pitiful."
"Alas." Lu Yanhe did not look back, because he knew that if he continued to watch, he would not be able to bear it.
After this incident, almost no crew dared to use Shen Yufang.
It can be said that Shen Yufang basically doesn't need to think about staying in the entertainment industry.
"This incident really makes me feel emotional. Shen Yufang didn't really make a big mistake, but the consequences she suffered were much more severe," Lu Yanhe said. "I'm also wondering how much I can handle my mistakes. If I ever make a mistake myself, will a small mistake lead to irreparable consequences?"
"Oh, please, I beg you, why are you thinking so much? You won't say anything. As long as you haven't committed any crime, nothing can defeat you." Li Pengfei said, "At worst, you can start all over again. What are you afraid of? You can write, publish magazines, act, and do so many things. You're not afraid of anything."
Li Pengfei has much more confidence in Lu Yanhe than Lu Yanhe has in himself.
-
Lu Yanhe brought a friend to visit the crew, and soon everyone in the crew knew about it.
"High school classmate, Li Pengfei." Lu Yanhe introduced to Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng was a busy man, but he stopped and said with a smile: "Your classmate is also very handsome. He can consider becoming an actor."
Li Pengfei laughed twice and said, "I don't have that ability, so I'd better just be a spectator."
He is still the same as he was in high school. No matter who comes, he is not stage-frightened at all, and no one can make him nervous.
Li Pengfei is enthusiastic, generous, and energetic when talking to people, and he is more likely to open up a situation than Lu Yanhe.
Everyone knew that he was just here to take a look around, and they were happy to give Lu Yanhe such a favor.
The scene with Lang Xia and Zhen Hongyu was being filmed on site.
Zhen Hongyu plays Chen Yourong in the play and likes Wei Jiang played by Lu Yanhe.
She is a child star who started acting at the age of twelve. She has a long acting career and superb acting skills.
Lu Yanhe took Li Pengfei to find a seat nearby.
Because it was an indoor scene, we didn’t have to be exposed to the cold wind outside, so it was quite comfortable.
Lu Yanhe reminded Li Pengfei to mute his phone.
Li Pengfei hurriedly did as he was told.
Zhen Hongyu was putting on makeup, and the makeup artist and assistant surrounded her on both sides.
Lang Xia sat alone at the other end, looking down at the script.
There are also several other minor characters, sitting together and chatting.
It was very cold, and before the official shooting started, we all wore black down jackets.
There are many small suns on the scene to keep everyone warm.
Li Pengfei whispered to Lu Yanhe, "Seeing you filming on set, I'm a little disappointed. As expected, what's captured on camera is the best. The scene is like a mess in a warehouse."
"That's true. There's no other way. There are so many equipments and so many people that the scene is very messy. And this is already one of the top crews in the country, and the crew management is already at the top level." Lu Yanhe said.
Li Pengfei looked around curiously.
Suddenly, he rushed out in a flash, scaring Lu Yanhe.
There were two people in front carrying a wooden box, but probably because of the imbalance of the center of gravity, the wooden box suddenly fell forward and both of them were unable to react.
The scariest thing is that there is a girl sitting on a small stool in front.
She is an extra who plays a maid.
Li Pengfei rushed forward at the critical moment and held up the wooden box that had already fallen two-thirds from the front.
The two staff members who were carrying the wooden boxes turned pale and thanked Li Pengfei with lingering fear.
Li Pengfei helped them put the box back on its right foot.
"Are you okay?" Lu Yanhe hurried over and asked.
Li Pengfei raised his hands and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."
The girl sitting on the small stool turned pale.
She already realized that she was almost hit by this big wooden box.
"Thank you, thank you." She stood up and thanked Li Pengfei.
"It's okay, you're welcome." Li Pengfei shook his head.
Then, at this time, the blue bruises on Li Pengfei's arms slowly emerged, as well as red and swollen marks.
Lu Yanhe saw this and was a little surprised, "Did you bump into something just now?"
Li Pengfei finally admitted, "I lost control just now and the back of my hand hit the side of the wooden box."
Lu Yanhe: "When I ask you, you say you're fine. Go get some blood-dissolving medicine, or you'll be in excruciating pain later."
"Just a bruise, nothing serious."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Lu Yanhe asked Li Pengfei to go find Mo Lan.
Mo Lan is a martial arts director, and they usually carry a medical kit with some basic medicines.
After passing through the main hall, walking along the corridor and turning several corners, Lu Yanhe found the place where their martial arts team was stationed. They would find a place to stretch their muscles every day.
Because Chen Lingling refused to let the assistant director shoot scenes other than empty shots, they usually had a lot of free time on the set.
For example, they came today because they were lucky enough to have a fight scene. If there were no fight scenes scheduled for the day, they wouldn't even come to the scene.
Lu Yanhe greeted Mo Lan.
"Brother Lan, do you have any blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine? Can you apply it to him?" Lu Yanhe found Mo Lan.
Mo Lan took one look at the wound on Li Pengfei's arm and said, "Yes, right away."
The others came over laughing.
"What's going on?"
"Where did it hit?"
"It looks okay, nothing serious."
"This guy doesn't look familiar. Is he a new actor?"
The people in the same team as Mo Lan were talking at once.
Lu Yanhe introduced Li Pengfei and explained the reason for his injury.
"That's a quick reaction." Someone's eyes lit up immediately and he said to Li Pengfei with a tone full of praise.
Li Pengfei grinned and laughed, "Hehe."
Mo Lan sprinkled some medicine powder on him and sprayed them with their own special potion.
"Okay."
He put the things in a plastic bag and said, "Just apply some medicine in the next two days. It won't be a big problem."
"Okay, thank you Brother Lan." Li Pengfei followed Lu Yanhe and called him Brother Lan.
As they were talking, Liu Biao suddenly came over and said, "We need two extras, but we can't find anyone right now. Who of you can fill in?"
Everyone looked at each other, and two people raised their hands.
"I!"
"I!"
Liu Biao nodded and said, "You two follow me."
The two of them immediately followed with some excitement.
"I don't know if this shot can show the face." Someone said.
Li Pengfei followed Lu Yanhe back to the filming site, ready to see how a scene was filmed on the spot.
At this time, the two people Liu Biao had just brought with him had already arrived in front of Chen Lingling.
"Director, it's just the two of them."
Chen Lingling glanced at them and nodded, "Okay."
She said, "You two will stand in these two places later."
She pointed behind a chair.
Zhen Hongyu and Lang Xia also came over.
"You sit here later. Lang Xia will bring people over. You are going to put on a show. Lang Xia, you have to act like a dandy and nonchalant young man in front of everyone. You are acting with Zhen Hongyu for others to see. Do you understand?" Chen Lingling instructed.
Lang Xia nodded.
According to Chen Lingling's design, Lang Xia will pretend to be a playboy who likes Zhen Hongyu and tries to tease her, but is stopped by her two guards. So, Lang Xia takes action directly and slaps one of them, and is pushed aside by his guards.
Li Pengfei glared, "I'm going to be slapped again?"
Lu Yanhe nodded. He understood Chen Lingling's plan.
This scene should not have been included before, but was added to highlight the drama of the scene between Lang Xia and Zhen Hongyu. It was impossible for Lang Xia to try to tease Zhen Hongyu, even if it was just a show for others to see. It was impossible for Zhen Hongyu to not resist at all, so two people were temporarily called in to act as guards.
The two young men from the martial arts group were a little surprised when they heard that they were going to be slapped, but neither of them said no.
Li Pengfei: "Oh my god, they're suddenly given a slapping scene, and they're happy with that?"
Lu Yanhe: "This is what an actor does."
"They are very willing." Huang Cheng suddenly appeared beside them, scaring Li Pengfei so much that he jumped on the spot.
"Hey, Mr. Huang, you're so elusive that you make no sound even when you walk. You're not this scary even in broad daylight."
Li Pengfei complained.
Huang Cheng looked at him with a smile on his face.
Li Pengfei asked, "Are they willing to be slapped?"
Huang Cheng said: "Because the camera will capture close-ups of their faces, they can appear in the camera instead of being just background plates."
Li Pengfei was shocked.
His eyes flashed, as if Huang Cheng's words had caused him to think.
Not every actor is lucky enough to play a role with lines right from the start. Many actors can only be extras at the beginning, playing the role of passerby A, passerby B, or serving as a background board.
-
The next day, Li Pengfei and Lu Yanhe had breakfast together and prepared to leave.
He also had to go to the airport to pick up Chen Siqi, so he had to leave early.
"Be careful on the road."
"Got it." Li Pengfei nodded, "Let's go."
"Bye-Bye."
After sending Li Pengfei away, Lu Yanhe got into Zou Dong's car to put on makeup.
He had to go and do his makeup for the 2pm scene.
This is a very troublesome aspect of filming a costume drama. Before filming, it takes almost two or three hours just to put on makeup and create costumes. After filming, it takes another hour to remove the makeup and headgear.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Hongyu was also in the dressing room.
Zhen Hongyu even asked him, "Where is your classmate?"
"I've already gone back."
Lu Yanhe smiled at Zhen Hongyu and asked, "Did you shoot a late-night scene yesterday?"
"Yes, we filmed until two in the morning." Zhen Hongyu said and yawned.
"Then why did we arrange a daytime performance for you?"
Usually after filming a long night scene, to ensure the actors' condition, the coordinator will give them the next day off, or have them start work in the afternoon. Zhen Hongyu came at this time, so she must have a scene at one or two in the afternoon.
Zhen Hongyu said, "It's okay, I don't mind. I slept for a few hours and woke up soon. I'm used to it."
This young veteran actor has much more experience in the crew than Lu Yanhe.
Sure enough, after a while, Zhen Hongyu closed her eyes and fell asleep again. The makeup artist did her styling without affecting her at all.
Lu Yanhe was surprised.
There was no way he could just fall asleep in the chair.
Zhen Hongyu slept until Lu Yanhe had finished his makeup, and then she woke up in a daze.
She was woken up by the ringing of her own cell phone.
"Who is so annoying?" She muttered, picked up her phone and looked at it, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Oh? Sister, wait a minute, I need to take a call first." Zhen Hongyu turned around and said to the makeup artist behind her.
The makeup artist stopped when she heard this.
As soon as Zhen Hongyu answered the phone, her tone changed immediately. She said angrily, "You finally remembered to contact me?"
Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Zhen Hongyu snorted coldly and said, "What can't be said on the phone? Why do you have to say it in person? You know I'm on the set filming, how can I take time out to leave?"
This tone...
Lu Yanhe probably guessed something and couldn't help but smile.
He said goodbye to Zhen Hongyu silently and left.
After transferring to the scene, I went directly to the lounge to eat my lunch box.
Today's boxed lunch was delicious. Lu Yanhe restrained himself and only ate half a bowl of rice, then stood up and walked slowly.
At half past one, he went out to the scene.
The track on site has been laid and is being polished.
Lu Yanhe went to find Chen Lingling and discussed with her how to perform today's play.
After getting used to Chen Lingling's reluctance to take more takes, Lu Yanhe realized that only by putting in more effort and doing more homework before the formal shooting could he achieve a state that satisfied him as much as possible.
Although Chen Lingling doesn't talk much, she is a director who is willing to communicate and interact more with actors.
At this moment, Huang Cheng suddenly came hurriedly.
His expression was somewhat grim, and without shying away from Lu Yanhe who was standing beside him, he told Chen Lingling, "Zhen Hongyu's boyfriend is in trouble."
"Something happened?" Chen Lingling frowned. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yanhe was also stunned.
Huang Cheng glanced at Lu Yanhe and said, "Her boyfriend was suspected of illegal fundraising and was reported. It's now on the news. After seeing the news, many people recognized him as Zhen Hongyu's boyfriend. Zhen Hongyu has also been reported by many media outlets, and they are questioning whether she was involved in this matter."
Lu Yanhe was shocked and looked at Huang Cheng in disbelief.
Chen Lingling didn't ask a single question, her face looking a little ugly.
Huang Cheng did not avoid Lu Yanhe's presence. In fact, it was because Lu Yanhe would know about this matter anyway, and there was no point in hiding it.
He looked at Chen Lingling and said, "We still have no way to confirm whether Zhen Hongyu was involved in this matter. If she is, we must replace her immediately, otherwise our drama will be affected and cannot be broadcast."
This is indeed the case with the current film and television environment. If a bad artist participates in a show, the entire show will be affected and cannot be broadcast.
Chen Lingling asked, "Have you talked to Zhen Hongyu?"
Huang Cheng shook his head, "Not yet."
Chen Lingling said, "All of Zhen Hongyu's scenes have been put on hold. Filming will be suspended for the time being. We need to sort things out as quickly as possible. Also, we need to find a replacement for her immediately. If we need to reshoot, they must be available at any time."
"Okay." Huang Cheng understood Chen Lingling's opinion and knew what to do next. He nodded and left.
Zhen Hongyu can't shoot the afternoon scene.
It's a bit overwhelming to coordinate everything, but I can't waste the free time in the afternoon and just put it aside.
Chen Lingling said, "Let's shoot the scenes that Lu Yanhe can shoot in the afternoon first, and then make adjustments in the next few days."
The coordinator nodded and left in a hurry.
Lu Yanhe also had no objection.
He is on the set at this time, so of course he will take over if he can.
However, such a sudden incident may affect the entire crew, and the atmosphere on the scene became a little solemn.
If Zhen Hongyu really has to be replaced and those scenes have to be reshot, the crew's filming will have to be postponed and will not be completed on time. In order to meet the deadline, they may not be able to finish work on time every day.
Everyone was in a low mood.
Lu Yanhe also had to work hard to adjust his mood.
At this time, Chen Lingling was like a stabilizing force, completely unaffected. Everything was as usual, she continued to curse and film as usual, without any impact at all.
Lu Yanhe was filled with admiration for her deep in his heart.
