If it weren't for the spy war drama two years ago, Chen Jiping would have been just an unknown actor, but after becoming famous, it seemed as if he had finally turned from a disadvantageous situation to a favorable situation. The spy war drama earned him nominations for several important awards, but unfortunately he didn't win any of them in the end. This year, he was nominated for the Best Actor at the Red River Awards for his role in the costume TV series "Zhou Nan".
In just two years, Chen Jiping has become the middle-aged male actor who has been closest to winning an award in recent years.
He is slightly older than Huang Kairen, thirty-six years old.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what had happened between Chen Jiping and Huang Kairen that made him treat him so badly.
However, after Chen Jiping said such harsh words, although Huang Kairen's face looked very ugly and gloomy as if it was filled with water, he did not lose his temper on the spot and fight with Chen Jiping.
When Lu Yanhe saw Huang Kairen's clenched fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulged out.
Of course, he couldn't take action at this time. Once he did, Huang Kairen would be the one who used violence first. No matter what the reason was, Huang Kairen would be at a disadvantage.
Lu Yanhe was present, and he certainly wouldn't want to see Huang Kairen get into trouble.
So, there was no other way, Lu Yanhe spoke up and decided to interrupt Chen Jiping's provocation.
"Teacher Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why are you only talking to Brother Huang and not to me?" Lu Yanhe smiled faintly. "Don't you remember me?"
Chen Jiping was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and looked at Lu Yanhe.
"Of course I remember. How could I not remember?" Chen Jiping smiled, but it was hard to tell how much of a smile he really had.
Even if Chen Jiping didn't remember meeting Lu Yanhe before, it was impossible for him not to know him.
He has been popular for more than half a year, with various news emerging one after another. He was also nominated for the Best Supporting Actor at the Red River Awards for "The Golden Era", breaking the record of the youngest nominee for an acting award in the past decade. He was praised by the industry as a "future candidate for Best Actor/Best Actor."
But what Chen Jiping hates the most are popular stars like them.
Even Lu Yanhe, who is praised by so many people.
Chen Jiping looked at him with a forced smile, then glanced at Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian and said, "You must be very proud, right? You're the only one in the entire "Golden Era" crew nominated for an acting award."
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "There's nothing to be proud of."
"So modest?" Chen Jiping raised his eyebrows.
"Because everyone will win an award anyway." Lu Yanhe smiled brightly. "If you don't win this time, you'll win next time. As long as your acting skills are recognized, winning an award is inevitable, right?"
Earlier, Chen Jiping said that Huang Kairen was an idol, and here Lu Yanhe said "recognized acting skills". The implication of his words can be figured out with a little thought.
Chen Jiping laughed, "According to you, winning an award seems so simple."
"It's difficult for someone like me who was nominated by chance, but it's certainly easy for those who have the ability to win the award." Lu Yanhe immediately retorted.
Chen Jiping: "As expected, he is a student of Zhenhua University. He is so eloquent."
Lu Yanhe smiled calmly and said, "I'm just stating a fact. I can't say I'm eloquent."
Lu Yanhe and Chen Jiping had a conversation, with each speaking a few words at a time, and Chen Jiping didn't gain any advantage after several rounds. Chen Jiping suddenly became annoyed.
Ever since Chen Jiping became famous, he has rarely been squeezed out by young people like Lu Yanhe.
No matter how famous a young person is, they at least maintain basic courtesy in front of him and show respect for him.
Chen Jiping had forgotten what Lu Yanhe's attitude was during the last recording of the show, but it was definitely not like today.
Chen Jiping looked at Lu Yanhe with a stern expression, nodded, and said, "Then I wish you the best of luck in winning the award tonight."
A young man who is lucky enough to be nominated is talking nonsense here. I wonder how long you can keep doing this.
Lu Yanhe smiled broadly and said, "I'm a newcomer, and I'm honored to be nominated. Teacher Chen is the one who truly has a chance of winning the award. When you go on stage to receive the award, I will definitely applaud you wholeheartedly."
If he doesn't win the award, it's not his fault.
Chen Jiping had never felt so aggrieved. But every word Lu Yanhe said was impeccable, and he really couldn't find any excuse to teach him a lesson.
Chen Jiping had nothing to say, so of course he just left.
As soon as he left, Jiang Yuqian burst out laughing and said, "People with culture are different. They can criticize people without anyone finding any fault. I've never seen him so frustrated, looking like he couldn't find any trouble."
Lu Yanhe smiled innocently and said, "Ah? I'm not being mean. I'm just speaking the truth. I'm speaking my mind."
Jiang Yuqian shook her head and sighed, "There are very few people who can make Chen Jiping lose face. You are really amazing."
"What kind of personality does he have?" Lu Yanhe asked.
The fact that Jiang Yuqian would say such words at this time shows that she really dislikes Chen Jiping. It can only be said that Chen Jiping is a failure in his life.
But why is Chen Jiping disliked by everyone?
Jiang Yuqian glanced at Huang Kairen and said, "Do you know why he came to target Old Huang?"
Huang Kairen sighed helplessly.
"Why?" Lu Yanhe certainly didn't know.
Jiang Yuqian: "It was because they had auditioned for the same role before, and Huang got the part while Chen Jiping lost. Chen Jiping thought his acting was much better than Huang's, so he asked the producer why he wasn't chosen. The producer didn't respond and just scolded him, saying that no crew would cast an unknown and self-righteous person as the male lead. Chen Jiping was offended and took it out on Huang as well. Many people in the industry knew about it."
Lu Yanhe just felt incredible, "Just for this?"
"Such a thing? Although Chen Jiping's mind is small, it's not a small matter." Jiang Yuqian said, "To be honest, there are many examples of actors tearing each other apart just to compete for a role, not just one or two."
Lu Yanhe nodded to show that he understood.
Huang Kairen said, "There really wasn't any direct conflict between him and me, but he holds such a grudge against me. I didn't expect it. He's always taunting me whenever he sees me. This time, he's really got me in the lurch. I didn't get the nomination, but he did, so I'm a step behind him."
Lu Yanhe felt helpless when he heard Huang Kairen say this.
"Then isn't this just an unprovoked disaster for you?"
Huang Kairen patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you very much."
"Brother Huang, why are you being so polite to me? You've helped me so much. I'm mainly worried that you won't be able to resist and attack him." Lu Yanhe said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't interrupt you."
Huang Kairen's eyes revealed gratitude that spoke for itself.

Backstage, everyone was greeting and chatting with each other, an occasion that could not be captured by the media or cameras.
In this place, you will see those stars who are the most popular on the Internet. In fact, they are not so high-profile here. In fact, most of them are humble and polite in front of their seniors.
It is also in this place that you can see those stars, who are packaged by makeup, stage and lights, wearing social masks that are relatively comfortable in social occasions behind the camera. And those respected old seniors actually have different personalities. They will not sit there dignified and kindly, acting as a mascot to stabilize the scene. Instead, they will recall the past with great enthusiasm, talk about the past, and sincerely encourage and praise the actors who have made good works in the past year and happened to be seen by them.
Here, you will find that even in this era that advocates strength and self, personal relationships are still integrated into the so-called profit-oriented industry.
Xu Bin, deputy director of Beijing TV, takes his son Xu Handian, who is involved in a scandal, to mingle among the public and get to know all kinds of people in the industry.
Lang Kequn, a rock singer who has not performed for a long time, accepted the invitation to be a guest performer at tonight's Red River Awards ceremony because his son Lang Xia will be attending the ceremony today. At this time, he and He Yingzi are introducing Lang Xia to various bigwigs.
Chen Pinhe, a former Best Actor winner at the Feihong and Lingyun Awards, stood respectfully beside a beautiful woman in elegant attire. However, the woman didn't seem particularly enthusiastic towards Chen Pinhe, instead calmly and elegantly chatting with others.
Jiang Yuqian, Huang Kairen and Lu Yanhe, who are extremely popular, are actually the "marginal households" who are somewhat "alienated" here.
The actual situation is certainly not that someone is excluding them, but that not many people know them.
And they don't have someone like Xu Bin or Lang Kequn who has a say in this group of people to lead and introduce them. Those who come to greet them are producers from film and television production companies, as well as some directors and actors. But here, you will find that many people you think are big names are not really at the core.
-
Luo Yuzhong is a well-deserved top figure and one of the most core people in this occasion. He no longer needs to rely on awards to prove himself, but he is needed to stand up for this award.
He finally remembered the young people in his play, and took them to greet a few key bosses and introduce them to each other. Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen had met before, but this was Lu Yanhe's first time meeting him.
After Luo Yuzhong's introduction, everyone expressed encouragement to Lu Yanhe, either kind or loving, treating him as a junior who needed support.
In this occasion, Lu Yanhe just needs to play his role well and make himself familiar to everyone.
Lu Yanhe didn't have the mentality of "I want to shine all over the place with my sword."
His personality is not of this kind, he is more of the "silently developing" type.
He would never have the idea that "I don't need you guys to know me, I can stand on the top of the mountains by myself."
He always knew that sometimes you don’t need everyone to support you or appreciate you, but you’d better not let everyone hate you or resist you.
In particular, if you want to continue in this industry, you have not yet become a person who can handle things with ease. If you act like Sun Wukong and make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Buddha will use the Five Finger Mountain to suppress you.
The journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is full of eighty-one difficulties. You have to subdue demons and monsters, obtain the true scriptures, and be named the Fighting Buddha. Only then does your "fighting" have a purpose and a name.

After the award ceremony began, the atmosphere was filled with a sense of honor that had been accumulated over many years.
Whether it was the host reviewing the history of the Red River Awards, or the various short films depicting the efforts and contributions of generations of people in TV dramas, those works that once dominated the screen, and those actors who were once very popular, all appeared in different forms at the evening ceremony.
Every winner's passionate and exciting acceptance speeches moved Lu Yanhe time and time again.
If it weren't for filming "The Golden Age" and "Phoenix Tower", Lu Yanhe would not have had such deep feelings. He would have truly experienced the difficulties, setbacks and failures that the crew would experience, and experienced everyone's efforts to solve difficulties, overcome setbacks and face failures together. Only then would he understand why the works created by everyone with their talent and hard work would be recognized at such an awards ceremony and move everyone present.
This is an industry.
At the Best Supporting Actor award ceremony, although Lu Yanhe had known for a long time that he would not win the award, at that moment, his heart still rose to his throat. Nervousness and an unknown expectation filled his entire chest, as if he was an inflating balloon, getting bigger and bigger.
Then, the presenter announced that the winner was Lei Mingjia for "Long Day".
Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief instantly.
He could hardly hide the disappointment that flashed across his face for a moment, but fortunately he still clapped subconsciously.
Huang Kairen, who was sitting next to him, put his arm around his shoulders and hugged him, which was both encouragement and comfort.
Jiang Yuqian applauded Lei Mingjia and turned to Lu Yanhe, saying, "You'll definitely win a prize next time!"
Comfort has no practical meaning, but comfort has a greater meaning than reality.
Lu Yanhe laughed. It was with the comfort of the two of them that he sorted out and calmed down his mood. He applauded Lei Mingjia sincerely.
This late bloomer, 42 years old, was his first time nominated for an acting award and also his first time winning one.
After he went on stage, accepted the award and gave his acceptance speech, before he said a word, his eyes immediately became red and tears flashed in his eyes. All the sadness of the past years was expressed in this unspoken sob.
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but be moved.
He applauded even more enthusiastically.
The whole audience applauded him.
In this industry, lucky people like Lu Yanhe are a minority, and most people are like Lei Mingjia, who have to struggle for many years before being noticed by everyone.
There are even many actors who have never been seen in their entire lives.
Lu Yanhe was really infected by the atmosphere of tonight's award ceremony.
It was not until the Best Actor award was presented that he regained some composure and prayed silently in his heart that Chen Jiping would not win the award.
Then, perhaps God heard Lu Yanhe's prayers, and the winner was Jiang Mingzheng of "Long Day".
Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief, then he remembered, wasn't Jiang Mingzheng the actor who made veiled allegations against Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian?
He was about to turn around to look at the two of them, but then he realized that there must be a camera filming them.
If he turned around and looked at them at this moment, he would definitely be caught on camera, and when someone took a screenshot and posted it online, it was unknown what kind of interpretation it would cause.
Lu Yanhe controlled his mind.
Jiang Ming was giving his acceptance speech and actually mentioned Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian at the end.
"I said something in a previous interview, and a lot of people misunderstood and interpreted it, saying that I looked down on some very popular actors." As soon as Jiang Mingzheng said this, the expressions of the whole audience changed. Lu Yanhe realized that they were probably a little confused without looking at Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian. Jiang Mingzheng continued, "That's not what I meant. In this industry, some actors are very popular, while others are unknown. Just like me before I starred in 'Long Day', I was unknown, but after starring in 'Long Day', I suddenly became famous. What I mean is that popularity has never been the standard for measuring an actor. It may affect our careers as actors, but it is not the standard for measuring our level of acting. That's just what I mean."
To be honest, Lu Yanhe was a little confused.
I guess everyone at the scene was a little confused. After Jiang Mingzheng finished speaking, no one reacted.
It was not until Jiang Mingzheng said "Thank you Red River Award" again that everyone woke up as if from a dream and began to applaud and congratulate him.
-
The list of winners of this year's Red River Award has been announced.
The new Best Actor and Best Actress were announced and became a hot topic in seconds.
The embarrassing entry about Jiang Mingzheng's acceptance speech was also included.
A lot of heated discussions, including Lu Yanhe's lost expression when he heard the name of the Best Supporting Actor winner, were indeed captured in screenshots.
There was an entry that inexplicably became a hot search, called "Feeling sorry for Lu Yanhe". Ten minutes later, Chen Ziyan forcefully removed this hot search.
Attract bad luck.
Lu Yanhe posted a message: Comforting myself, congratulating Mr. Lei Mingjia, he deserves the award! Then, encouraging myself again, keep up the good work, and come again in the future!
This post was specially modified by Chen Ziyan.
"You must feel disappointed if you don't win the award, but you have to show this attitude at this time."
Lu Yanhe did receive a lot of consolation, and he replied one by one. At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lu Yanhe did not attend the party organized by the Red River Award and returned to Ziyuan Bridge.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the door, he suddenly heard the sound of champagne being opened!
"Oh——" Li Zhibai let out a gorilla cry.
Yan Liang also exclaimed “Oh——”
Lu Yanhe looked at them in surprise.
Li Zhibai said: "Come on, come on, come over and have a toast!"
Li Zhibai poured water into three cups.
Lu Yanhe walked over with a look of surprise and astonishment.
"What's this for?"
"Congratulations! You will definitely win the award next time!" Li Zhibai said with a bright smile.
Yan Liang nodded vigorously, "Celebrate your success! I'm sure you'll win the award next time!"
Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and smiled in disbelief.
"Alright! Let's celebrate that I will definitely win the award next time, and also celebrate that you will definitely win the award next time!" Lu Yanhe picked up the cup and looked at the two of them with sparkling eyes. "Keep going!"
-
A friend is someone who will help you up when you fall, and someone who will give you a ray of light when you are lost.
Lu Yanhe woke up, opened his eyes, and thought that the filming of "Phoenix Terrace" was finally completed. He didn't have to go for a morning run and could continue to lie in bed for a while. He felt happy.
The frustration of last night has dissipated a lot, and the comfort and support from friends has brought more motivation.
Lu Yanhe had classes in the morning, so he didn't lie down for long. He got up and made himself a bowl of noodles. After eating, he washed the bowl, put on his schoolbag and went out.
In the early spring of March, the spring breeze is still chilly, but the sun rises and the sunshine shines. The spring breeze will bring warmth, and warmth will bring all things back to life.

The excitement of the Red River Awards ceremony lasted for about three or four days, and then gradually came to an end.
With the blessing of the award, the winners have ushered in an upward momentum of "fame supporting people".
Although Jiang Mingzheng's speech attracted various complaints such as "awkward", "digging his toes into the ground", and "it's better not to explain", he still relied on the influence of "Long Day" and his status as the new best actor of the Red River Awards to officially announce a new S+ level work, which attracted attention.
Wan Xin, who won the Best Actress award, was also revealed to be in contact with director Luo Yuzhong's new film.
The entertainment industry is like this, there is always news and all kinds of information flying around.
And when Jiang Yuqian was officially announced to star in "The True Path" directed by Liu Zhijiang, this big pie brought back Jiang Yuqian's career fans.
Although "The Golden Age" did not bring Jiang Yuqian a nomination for the Red River Award, it finally helped her successfully transform and enter the serious drama circle.
The March issue of "Jump Up" saw a slight increase in sales, selling a thousand more copies than the February issue in the first week. Baduanjin's new serial "I'm Not a Fairy" became a hot topic.
After the serialization of "Jump Up" was completed, the physical book of Liu Jiazhen's new book was released on the market. Jiang Yuqian, Huang Kairen, Peng Zhixing, Song Linxin and other celebrities forwarded Liu Jiazhen's new book "Spiral of Silence" and claimed to be readers. The sales volume exceeded 150,000 copies in the first week, which dropped a bombshell on the publishing industry, which has been described as a "sunset industry" by the media every year.
Liu Jiazhen announced that his newly created suspense short story will be published in the April issue of "Jump Up".
In March, the spring breeze is blowing and life is full of vitality.
After attending the Red River Awards ceremony, Lu Yanhe disappeared from public view and never appeared in public again. During this time, he returned to the Phoenix TV crew for a reshoot, completing two magazine shoots in one afternoon, and then he had no other work.
A new episode of "City Travel Notes" was released, but Lu Yanhe was still not the "tour guide" guest. Instead, another artist was invited, which once again caused complaints from the public. There were many comments in the comment section below the program asking whether Lu Yanhe would return to the program.
Xin Zixiong was helpless. Of course, she wanted to invite Lu Yanhe back, but on the one hand, Lu Yanhe was too busy and pressed for time. On the other hand, the senior management of Yemai.com did not like "City Travel Notes" to be too deeply influenced by Lu Yanhe. Therefore, their attitude was not very positive, which led to the current situation.
Apart from attending classes, Lu Yanhe spends his time in the library.
One rainy afternoon, Lu Yanhe took a nap on the table. When he woke up, he found that Chen Siqi had sent him a message ten minutes ago about Li Zhibai's short story.
The copyright operation organization they cooperated with sold the film adaptation rights of Li Zhibai's short story to a film company. The adaptation licensing fee was 190,000 yuan before tax.
Not low for a short story.
The key point is that this film company is not a shell company, but a serious film company.
Lu Yanhe was pleasantly surprised.
"Jump Up" has taken the first step in copyright operation - even if it is to cooperate with another copyright operation organization instead of doing it by itself.
In March, in addition to being responsible for the content of the magazine itself, Chen Siqi also expanded his editorial team and recruited six new editors, all of whom were part-time and had signed part-time agreements. They included inexperienced students as well as experienced social workers.
She also removed herself from the specific editorial affairs and began to implement her other ideas in a bold manner.
She flies to Yuming almost every week.
It’s not about meeting Lu Yanhe, it’s about other work.
She started signing writers.
Most of the new writers she discovered from the submission mailbox were signed by her.
She made it clear: "I won't be responsible for you. I won't guarantee how many manuscripts you'll publish or how much money you'll make, but we will provide you with a platform and dedicated editors to communicate with you and help you write. You can write not only short stories but also novels. We will publish your work with Jiangyin Publishing House, provided that we believe your work meets the publishing standards. We will also work with the copyright management organizations we cooperate with to promote your work and look for suitable commercial adaptation opportunities, provided that your work has such adaptation potential."
She was only a sophomore in her first semester, but Lin Yu said that Chen Siqi was becoming more and more like an editor-in-chief.
While "Jump Up" was in full swing, the self-media of "Jump Up" was officially renamed "Editor Club", deleting the three words "Jump Up" in order to distinguish it from the content of "Jump Up" magazine.
There are updates on the "Editor Club's" self-media every day, such as film and television reviews, discussions on hot social issues, and interviews.
Chen Siqi did not get an interview with Teacher Shi Xia, so she changed her mind and tried to invite the editor-in-chief who had worked with Teacher Shi Xia for many years, the translator of his works for overseas publication, and professors and researchers in China who had studied Teacher Shi Xia's works.
We've been doing three consecutive interviews with Shi Xia's work, and thoughtfully included links to purchase Shi Xia's work at the end of each article. However, the work isn't published by Jiangyin Publishing House, leading many to wonder if the "Editor's Club" has a commercial partnership with Shi Xia's publisher.
Chen Siqi directly clarified: "It is purely because our entire editorial department likes Teacher Shi Xia's works very much. Let more young people read Teacher Shi Xia's works. This is the original intention of our interview."
Interviews with writers are one type, and interviews with celebrities are another.
"During the promotional period for their work, why don't you come and do an interview with us?" Chen Siqi always finds a reason to convince the artist's team. "We are not a professional entertainment media, but we have the most unique literary style. Our self-media does interviews seriously. You can see it by looking at the interviews we have done before."
While everyone else was working hard, Lu Yanhe was busy with his studies.
Then, a month passed in a flash.
At the beginning of April, Lu Yanhe received a message from Chen Ziyan. He woke up as if from a dream, packed his schoolbag and went to the school gate.
Zou Dong drove to pick up Chen Ziyan first, and then came to pick up Lu Yanhe.
Now that the spring weather is finally here, I finally don’t have to dress in round clothes.
Chen Ziyan had her hair done specially, and her style still looks bright and elegant.
"Jia Long finally found time to come," Chen Ziyan said. "He's a really busy man, and it's so hard to get him time."
It was after seeing Jia Long on the day of the Red River Awards ceremony that Lu Yanhe suddenly thought that Jia Long could play Xu Zheng's role in the movie "Lost on Journey".
So, afterwards, he sent a special message to Jia Long and also sent him the script.
Lu Yanhe did not say that he wrote the script, he just asked him to read it.
Jia Long replied to him a week later, saying that the script was very interesting and asked if anyone had asked Lu Yanhe to play the silly young man?
Lu Yanhe didn't say anything, but vaguely asked Jia Long to meet and talk. Jia Long didn't refuse, and then the two of them's agents started to arrange times, and they have been meeting until now.
The place Jia Long booked was a teahouse.
Lu Yanhe actually thought that the place was just for tea, but when he got there, he found that in addition to tea, they could also drink coffee, milk tea and other drinks.
Jia Long, wearing a blue suit and smiling brightly, hugged Lu Yanhe.
"It's been a while, Xiao Lu."
"Hello, Teacher Jia."
Both parties sat down together.
Jia Long was alone, and Lu Yanhe had Chen Ziyan with him.
Chen Ziyan first exchanged a few words with Jia Long with a smile, and asked Jia Long what he was busy with recently.
Jia Long said he is preparing for his next movie and is still working on the script.
"There's no other way around a comedy script. The actors have to go through every line themselves, straighten it out, make it their own words, and combine it with their own performance rhythm. Otherwise, they won't be able to perform well."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
After Jia Long finished speaking, he smiled and asked, "Where's Xiao Lu? Has he joined the crew for filming?"
"No, I went back to school after finishing filming 'Phoenix Terrace.'" Chen Ziyan explained, "His next film is during the summer vacation."
Jia Long: "Who wrote the script that Xiao Lu sent me, Lost on Journey? I'd like to find out, but I'm afraid someone might find out. It's a really good and interesting script."
Chen Ziyan smiled and glanced at Lu Yanhe.
Jia Long was stunned. "Why, is it still inconvenient to tell me?"
Chen Ziyan asked: "Teacher Jia, let me ask you this first. If you were asked to act in this script, would this be the one you would want to act in?"
"Of course I'm afraid of being targeted. If I didn't want to act, why would I be afraid?" Jia Long said with a smile, "Who wanted Xiao Lu to try comedy? I never thought that Xiao Lu, who is so handsome, could act in comedy."
Chen Ziyan shook her head and said, "No one asked Xiao Lu to try comedy. Teacher Jia, this script was written by Xiao Lu himself."
She said this sincerely, her eyes falling on Jia Long's face.
The same goes for Lu Yanhe.
He was a little nervous at this moment.
Jia Long was stunned.
He was really stunned, his eyes didn't move at all. After about two or three seconds, his eyes started moving again, looking at Chen Ziyan and then at Lu Yanhe.
"Xiao Lu wrote this all by himself?"
At this moment, Jia Long was still wondering whether Lu Yanhe wrote it together with another professional screenwriter.
Chen Ziyan said: "Xiao Lu wrote it all by himself."
Jia Long showed an expression of disbelief, exclaimed wow, and said with emotion: "Xiao Lu, you are so talented!"
Lu Yanhe smiled shyly and lowered his head.
Chen Ziyan said, "This is his first time writing a script, and he's relieved to have such praise from a comedy master like you. Actually, after reading the script, I thought it was good, but I'm not a professional after all. I think it's good, but I'm afraid I have a filter for Xiao Lu. I didn't tell you that Xiao Lu was the screenwriter before because I wanted to hear your most honest opinion and attitude. Now, I'm relieved."
Jia Long laughed out loud and said, "It's a good thing I like this script, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed that I would have died."
Chen Ziyan said: "If that's the case, we will just accept the criticism silently and refuse to admit that Xiao Lu wrote the script."
Jia Long laughed even harder.
"So Xiao Lu is planning to write and perform the play himself?" Jia Long asked.
Chen Ziyan shook her head and said, "Xiao Lu doesn't plan to play the leading role in this script. He and I both feel that the other two protagonists are not suitable."
Jia Long looked at them in surprise.
"Not acting?"
"It's not suitable, what do you think?" Chen Ziyan said.
Jia Long fell into silence.
After thinking seriously for several seconds, he nodded and said, "It's indeed not suitable. On the contrary, the role of the handsome guy is more suitable for Xiao Lu."
"I agree with you," Chen Ziyan said with a smile. "This is a great script. I know you have your own team. Would you be willing to work with us to make this film?"
-
"You're perfect for our movie, Ms. Lin!"
At this time, He Han was clinging to the girl he met on the street a month ago like a dog-skin plaster.
He tried various ways and finally found the muse that had been haunting him through the license plate number.
It was only at this moment that he understood why this girl didn't care about making a movie at all - it wasn't that he was puzzled. Even if she refused to make a movie, the girl's reaction would not be that she didn't care about it at all, but that she had other concerns. He had never seen a girl who was not moved by making a movie at all.
Lin Miaomiao, the daughter of the owner of Aurora Video, undoubtedly has such confidence.
Yes, that’s right, the girl He Han met on the road was Lin Miaomiao.
"Don't bother me, I still have to take the college entrance examination." Lin Miaomiao looked impatiently at the man who always appeared beside her recently.
He Han said, "Don't try to fool me. I already knew that you've already been recommended for admission to Zhenhua University. You don't even need to take the college entrance exam."
Lin Miaomiao: "...Why don't you just go find someone who wants to make a movie? Why are you pestering me all the time?"
He Han: "Because you are suitable, if you come to film this movie, this movie will have its most suitable heroine."
Lin Miaomiao: "Don't say that to me. I've seen too many shameless directors fooling actors like that."
He Han didn't mind the word "shameless" at all, and continued to pursue Lin Miaomiao. "I'm not saying, with your temperament and looks, it would be a shame and a waste if you didn't come to make a movie."
"My looks and temperament are mine. How I want to use them is my business. It's not up to you to decide if they're a pity or a waste." Lin Miaomiao said dissatisfiedly, "I'm telling you one last time, don't bother me anymore. I won't be filming a movie with you!"
Watching Lin Miaomiao get into the car, He Han sighed in disappointment.
-
He Han returned to the hotel dejectedly, and happened to meet Liu Bige who was hurrying out with a cheerful look on his face.
"Where are you going?" He Han asked Liu Bigo.
Liu Bige said, "I've made an appointment with Miao Yue to meet later. We need to discuss the script."
Seeing He Han's frustrated face, he asked, "Lin Miaomiao still hasn't agreed to be your heroine?"
He Han nodded and said, "Her attitude hasn't softened at all. No matter what I say, she won't budge. I've really said everything I can say. There's no other way to convince her."
"If it really doesn't work out, forget it. Find someone else," Liu Bige said. "Do you really think you'll give up filming just because she refuses to act?"
He Han: "That's what I said, and I understand the logic, but when you've seen the most suitable person, looking at others will only feel like they're substitutes. When you look at them, you still think of Lin Miaomiao in your mind."
"Damn, can you please be more careful with your words? That sounds like such a scumbag." Liu Bigo complained.
He Han had no interest in arguing with Liu Bige, so he waved his hand and said, "Go find Miao Yue, I'm going back to get some sleep."
Liu Bigge nodded, with no intention of continuing to comfort He Han, and walked away.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan came out of the teahouse and got into the car, both of them with smiles on their faces.
Chen Ziyan said: "As long as Jia Long is willing to make this movie, half of the success is achieved."
Chen Ziyan's words were not an exaggeration at all. Jia Long was now one of the top actors in the comedy film market. Comedy films starring him had no shortage of investment and no shortage of market.
Moreover, Jia Long has his own production team, including collaborators with whom he is familiar.
With him making this movie, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan can avoid the awkward situation of newcomers "feeling their way across the river".
Chen Ziyan looked at Lu Yanhe with shining eyes and said, "You were right to let Jia Long play this role. It turns out that you wrote the script, had an idea for the role, and found the right person."
Lu Yanhe thought, that’s not the case.
He laughed.
"We work with Mr. Jia Long as producers, and we feel at ease, and so does he," Chen Ziyan said. "We, in particular, can worry less and learn so much more."
Lu Yanhe said, "Well, let's follow him through the entire production process this time, so we'll have experience next time."
Chen Ziyan said: "You need to register a company, so it will be convenient."
Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Zi Yan, let's register this company together."
"ah?"
"I'll register this production company with you," Lu Yanhe said. "This has nothing to do with my acting career and isn't covered by the agency contract I signed with Star Entertainment. I definitely can't handle it on my own, so you come and help me."
Chen Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "I'm not helping you, Xiao Lu. You can write scripts, and you can write scripts that Jia Long will fall in love with at first sight. This is your core creative ability. You pulled me into your production company to let me take advantage of you."
"I don't think you took advantage of me. I think I took advantage of you. Without you in charge, this company would have gone bankrupt in less than three months." Lu Yanhe said bluntly.
He knows where his shortcomings are.
Chen Ziyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do it together. I'll decide the share ratio, so don't mention 5:5."
Lu Yanhe was stunned. He had actually planned to have a 5:5 split with Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan was obviously unwilling.
She didn't want Lu Yanhe to suffer any loss, nor did she want to take advantage of him.
For her, there was no need.
The most important thing is Lu Yanhe.
When Chen Ziyan signed Lu Yanhe, she didn't expect him to be so talented.
