Chapter 283: Seventeenth Floor (10,000-word update!)

Wang Zhong is an emotional person.

A person who is not emotional cannot be a director.

Wang Zhong is also a person with artistic pursuits and aesthetics.

Otherwise, how could he have worked in the field of art films for more than ten years?

Wang Zhong had seen many talented actors, and he had high expectations for Lu Yanhe, knowing that Lu Yanhe was a good actor - but at this moment, Wang Zhong was still shocked.

It's not that Lu Yanhe's acting is so superb, nor is it that Lu Yanhe's performance is so "shocked in every pore", but that Lu Yanhe can give the feeling he wants in just a few hours from receiving the script to getting into the state, without even taking a single shot.

This speed.

Wang Zhong was prepared to shoot all night, or even until tomorrow morning.

Wang Zhong is a director who likes to help actors find the right feeling and state during specific filming.

So, even if you messed up the first and second methods, Wang Zhong didn't care. He never expected the first and second methods to work from the beginning.

But now, the scene of Lu Yanhe sitting in the temple is already in the play.

Wang Lu sighed softly: "I suddenly don't know how to act. I feel like I've been hit by a dimensionality reduction attack."

Chen Jiang looked at him, wanting to say something, but said nothing.

In fact, including Sui Fangran, the three of them had the same feeling.

-

This scene was filmed over three hours, with a total of seven takes.

Still not.

Wang Zhong's expression was very serious.

There are seven points. Except for the first and second ones, which are completely useless because Chen Jiang and his team were not in good shape, starting from the third one, each one is actually very good.

Lu Yanhe maintained a high level of performance in every role, or in other words, he always stayed in that character's state and never came out of it.

He made the fortune teller act like he was in a strange dream, and even his tone and intonation of speech changed.

Sometimes it was low and deep, sometimes high and sharp like a bird, sometimes rustling like a cricket, sometimes with eyes wide open and mouth half open, but without making any sound, as if still, a line of tears suddenly flowed down...

Not to mention Chen Jiang, Sui Fangran and Wang Lu, everyone in the crew was frightened by Lu Yanhe's almost insane performance.

Wang Zhong did not stop, because Lu Yanhe was getting better and better, and deeper into his soul each time.

He greedily wanted to know whether the next one from Lu Yanhe would be better.

-

Article 8 begins.

Three young men hurried in from outside in the storm.

Lu Yanhe's motionless body reacted. He raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the three people. He saw that they were shivering like quails from the cold, and the three people were looking at him in panic, as if they had not expected to meet someone like him in this temple.

Lu Yanhe stood up and slowly walked towards the three of them.

He had a slight limp in one leg.

"Who are you?" Chen Jiang mustered up the courage and asked.

His voice was trembling with fear.

Lu Yanhe was very tall, and at this moment he was slightly hunched over and limping. He looked up at the three of them coldly with a pair of almost soulless eyes.

"Me? I'm just a fortune teller." He coughed after saying that. "Where did you three come from? You're covered in blood, your foreheads are black, and your bodies are glowing red. Have you seen blood?"

He walked around the three men, looking at them as if they were goods. His eyes were not vicious, but sinister, with a cold light like a venomous snake.

"Fortune teller, you, you, don't talk nonsense. We are not full of blood and energy at all!" Sui Fangran, the only girl, said in a low voice with a pale face.

The corner of Lu Yanhe's mouth suddenly formed a strange smile like a puppet.

This was something that did not appear in the previous seven shots.

When Sui Fangran suddenly saw this smile in the dim light, she completely forgot that she was acting. Her whole body was filled with chills, and an instinctive, physiological expression of fear appeared on her face.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Lu Yanhe seemed to have been provoked, and his emotions suddenly became high. His originally cold and almost emotionless voice suddenly rose, like a peak rising from the ground. He rushed in front of Sui Fangran, almost face to face with her. Sui Fangran's legs began to tremble, and she was almost scared to tears. Lu Yanhe tilted his head slightly, and his expression suddenly became irritable and cruel, as if he had been greatly insulted. "I never tell lies! If you guys don't ask me to tell your fortune and find a way to solve the problem, you will all die one by one!"

After he said this cruelly, he laughed sinisterly and took a step back.

Just as he took a step back, his eyes fell on Wang Lu. His pupils suddenly dilated and his eyes changed suddenly, as if he saw an evil ghost.

-

The sound of rain was very loud; that was artificial rainfall being carried out outside the temple.

The wind is very strong.

There were only a few of them in the temple, and all the staff were outside the temple.

At this moment, there were only a few of them.

"Ah-ah-" Lu Yanhe suddenly let out a fearful roar, as if he was looking at three evil spirits that wanted to eat him. He staggered back out of the temple, then turned around to run out, and his foot kicked the door sill. He staggered and fell to the ground, and he almost didn't stop for a moment, rolling and crawling forward, rushing into the rain.

The three people in the temple had pale faces, with a hint of blue in them.

The candlelight and firelight reflected on their faces, making them look particularly creepy.

"Crack!" Wang Zhong shouted.

The three people in the temple did not move or respond.

Lu Yanhe walked back slowly. When he reached the temple gate, Sui Fangran suddenly squatted down, hugged herself with both hands, and tears flowed from her eyes.

She was stunned by the shock just now, but now that she had recovered, she couldn't control her tears from flowing out.

Lu Yanhe looked at her squatting on the ground, hugging him and crying silently. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he slowly returned to his usual state.

He walked over slowly, squatted down, and stroked her shoulder.

"sorry."

Sui Fangran looked up at Lu Yanhe with tears in her eyes and said aggrievedly, "You scared me to death!"

Lu Yanhe smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, he also came out of the cold, crazy, and completely selfless state he was in just now.

Wang Zhong walked over.

He sighed heavily and said something he hadn't even thought of.

"Thank you for your hard work."

He looked at Lu Yanhe with complicated eyes and didn't say a word for a long time.

Lu Yanhe asked, "Director, was the acting okay? Do you want another take?"

Wang Zhong let out a wry smile as he looked at Sui Fangran and the other two, who seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. He shook his head and said, "We've passed it. Let's go down the mountain."

The crew members didn't cheer when they finished work so early.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene was inexplicably weird.

-

It was already twelve o'clock in the morning - or rather, it was just early in the morning.

There were still three or four hours before Wang Zhong planned to finish work.

The fact that this scene was filmed so quickly was all thanks to Lu Yanhe alone.

He sat next to Lu Yanhe, turning his head to look at him from time to time. At this time, Lu Yanhe seemed to have come back to his senses from his previous state, and was no longer in the same state as before. But when he turned around, Sui Fangran and the other three were still sitting in their seats, looking confused and absent-minded, obviously not recovered.

"Yan He." Wang Zhong called out.

Lu Yanhe looked up and said, "Director."

"How did you...design your character?" Wang Zhong couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yanhe said: "I was thinking about how he became like this in the script, so I designed a very tragic past for him, including that he had to live alone in this temple, not because his family was broken up, but because he was born weird. You told me that it was a famine era and he inherited his father's business, but I designed for myself that he was born weird, so he was rejected by his family. He grew up in an environment where he was not liked and welcomed. He suffered a lot of cold eyes, insults, and exclusion. His mental state was not normal. He wanted love but could not get it. He blocked his heart and did not know how to communicate normally with others. As a result, he was expelled by his family. More and more weird things happened to him. While he accepted his fateful tragic life, he couldn't help but want to help others turn danger into safety. He is an abnormal person who doesn't know too many ethics and morals, and has a hint of instinctive kindness under his gloomy and indifferent appearance."

Wang Zhong looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief and asked, "Are you saying that you want to tell fortunes for these three young people because you want to help them resolve their calamities?"

"Yes, otherwise, why would he suddenly tell their fortunes?" Lu Yanhe said, "From your perspective, his behavior is understandable no matter what, because he is a strange being. But for me, I need a motive. The motive I designed for myself is that he saw the blood disaster that befell the three people and wanted to relieve them of the disaster, so he started to tell their fortunes. As soon as he finished the calculation, he found that it was completely beyond his tolerance. He was on the verge of collapse and fled relying on instinct."

After Lu Yanhe finished his explanation, Wang Zhong suddenly understood his performance. It was both unexpected and reasonable. It was terrifying.

Wang Zhong came to his senses and saw that several actors were not in good condition, so he asked someone to find a late-night snack shop that was still open.

In this case, we need to eat something warm together to dispel the shadows.

Until this moment, Wang Zhong didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Lu Yanhe is such a scary person.

-

Most of the late-night snacks that open after midnight are barbecue.

Wang Zhong brought them to have barbecue.

After the long drive, everyone felt a little better.

Lu Yanhe himself quickly got out of the role, but Sui Fangran and the others did not.

He knew that his acting style probably really scared Sui Fangran, because before each performance, Lu Yanhe had not informed them of any greetings, and they had no idea how he would act, and each time was a little different, making it impossible for them to prepare mentally.

"I toast to you, Fangran. This was just an act. For the most realistic effect, I didn't tell you in advance how I was going to act. Please forgive me." Lu Yanhe didn't drink alcohol, so he drank a beverage instead.

Sui Fangran took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, "Today I finally saw what real acting is. I always pride myself on being a good actor, but today I was completely led by you and fell into the state you created. I'm still a little confused now. It really scared me. Yan He, you're awesome."

Lu Yanhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Chen Jiang and Wang Lu also nodded. "That one scene stunned the three of us. You're really awesome."

Lu Yanhe scratched his head and said, "Let's add each other as friends first. You can't stop playing with me just because of what happened today."

He took out his cell phone and added them as friends.

-

After the barbecue, Lu Yanhe went back to the hotel with them. Early the next morning, Lu Yanhe returned to Yuming.

Not long after Lu Yanhe arrived at the hotel room, Wang Zhong sent him a message: Yanhe, I kept forgetting to tell you, thank you for coming to help me as soon as you said so.

Lu Yanhe replied: If you ask me to film a movie in the future, I will definitely come as long as I have time.

-

When he returned to the dormitory, Yuming had already entered summer overnight.

Mao Jiayang works out in the dormitory. He bought two dumbbells and lifts them from time to time.

When Lu Yanhe came back, he was holding this up.

"You're back!" Mao Jiayang knew that he was going to film.

Lu Yanhe nodded and asked, "Are they all gone?"

Mao Jiayang put down the dumbbells and said, "Zhou Mukai basically spends the weekend with his girlfriend, and Xiao Jing is working part-time."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Very normal.

Mao Jiayang suddenly said, "Yan He, are you familiar with Wang Xiao from the Youth Association?"

"You seem quite familiar with me. What's wrong?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Mao Jiayang said, "I want to join the Youth Association. I heard he's in charge. Could you tell him for me? I missed their recruitment and didn't think about joining any student associations at the time."

"Sure, no problem. But why did you suddenly think of joining this?" Lu Yanhe asked curiously.

Mao Jiayang rarely showed an embarrassed smile, and there was a hint of shyness in his smile. He said: "I like a girl. She is in the Youth Association."

Lu Yanhe's eyes widened instantly.

"OK, I understand. I must help you with this." Lu Yanhe said solemnly.

The solemnity ended in a second, and immediately, Lu Yanhe asked curiously, "What's the name of the girl you like? Maybe I know her. I'm in the Youth Association too."

Mao Jiayang said: "I haven't caught up with him yet, so don't ask for now."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

He looked at Mao Jiayang and smiled.

Mao Jiayang: "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Yeah, I laugh at Xiao Jing for being a bootlicker."

Mao Jiayang: “…”

Just at this moment, Xiao Jing opened the door and came in.

He saw Lu Yanhe and exclaimed, "You're back?!"

Mao Jiayang raised his hand, pointed at Lu Yanhe and said, "Xiao Jing, Lu Yanhe laughed at you and said you were a bootlicker!"

Lu Yanhe looked at Mao Jiayang in disbelief, "Mao Jiayang, you are a real dog!"

The look in Xiao Jing's eyes when he looked at these two people could kill.

-

On the second day after returning, Lu Yanhe recalled his experience of filming "Three Mountains" and realized belatedly that he had acted really well.

I don’t know what happened that day, but it felt like the sky suddenly brightened and I was possessed by a spirit.

It is clear that when he was acting in "The Golden Age" and "Phoenix Terrace", he often felt a sense of panic as if he didn't know how to act. Why was he so confident when he was acting in "Three Mountains"?

An inexplicable confidence.

He didn't think there was a problem at the time, but now that the performance is over, he feels that he was really too confident at the time - a little too confident.

What's going on?

Lu Yanhe told He Shuyi about his situation. He Shuyi smiled and said, "That means you've gradually gotten over the anxiety of being a newbie. You've filmed two dramas and made sufficient preparations before taking on this guest role. You're not under much pressure, so you're so confident in your performance. That's a good thing. How did the footage turn out? Are the director and the others satisfied?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head awkwardly and said, "They all said they seemed a little scared by me."

"Scared?"

"I don't know how to explain it. You'll know when the movie comes out." Lu Yanhe discovered that acting is something that can't be explained clearly with just words. The best way is to see it with your own eyes.

-

As Lu Yanhe's acting coach, He Shuyi charges very high fees. In the past, Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe would only invite her for individual one-on-one guidance when they took on a very important play. Now that Lu Yanhe's ability to make money has soared, he is no longer so frugal and will regularly invite He Shuyi to give him guidance.

He Shuyi is also a teacher who is very worth the price.

One class costs tens of thousands, but each class has its own effect - she can accurately point out Lu Yanhe's acting problems and give very effective guidance.

This time, Lu Yanhe was nominated for the Red River Award for "The Golden Age", and He Shuyi also benefited.

After all, the outside world doesn’t know, but everyone in the circle knows that Lu Yanhe’s acting instructor is He Shuyi.

More and more people came to see He Shuyi.

He Shuyi smiled and sighed, "A famous student always praises his master. Since you became famous, many people have come to me, hoping that I can guide them to a major award nomination. But they don't know that it's because you have a high level of understanding that you can understand it immediately. Otherwise, no matter how good my teaching is, what's the point? When you invited me, you never mentioned that you wanted to get a major award nomination for yourself."

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Teacher He, why don't you start an acting class?"

"I don't have that much energy. Making a little money and living a happy and relaxed life is better than anything else," said He Shuyi.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

-

Chen Ziyan had a very important dinner party today. The purpose of this dinner party was to discuss the Tianxing Award. Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, a big shot who played an important role in the domestic entertainment industry suddenly mentioned Lu Yanhe.

This man is called Lu Yanzhong. He joined the art troupe when he was a teenager, and he has been working in the system since then. When he was 40 years old, he left the system and established several performing arts companies. He not only manages artists, but also covers many links in this industry chain, such as commercial performances. Before the advent of the Internet era, offline commercial performances were the most profitable jobs for artists. The line he controlled was ranked among the top five in the country at that time, which shows his influence.

The advent of the Internet age did not knock him down. His investment figure is behind almost all major domestic Internet platforms. No one can calculate how many resources he has in his hands. The main reason is that he has been in this industry for too long and no one knows how many "gloves" he has.

If the Star Award is to be established, it will only be able to gain a foothold if it can attract the bigwigs involved in artistes, performances, platforms, investors and other aspects.

Qin Zhikun, Chen Hongyu and Jiang Lan were also present.

And the reason why Lu Yanzhong was able to come out today was all thanks to Chen Ziyan.

Everything was going well at the beginning, but at the end, Lu Yanzhong suddenly mentioned Lu Yanhe.

"A few days ago, I met with Wang Zhong, and he mentioned an actor you were managing," Lu Yanzhong said to Chen Ziyan, "Lu Yanhe."

Chen Ziyan showed a look of surprise and said with a smile, "Xiao Lu just recently made a guest appearance in a play directed by Wang Zhong."

"So that's how it is. Wang Zhong is a very proud person. In all these years, it's rare to see him praise a young actor like this." Lu Yanzhong said, "Let me meet Zi Yan someday."

Chen Ziyan smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll arrange it right away."

Lu Yanzhong just mentioned this and never mentioned Lu Yanhe again.

Compared to the meal, which lasted about two and a half hours, the mention of Lu Yanhe only lasted for a dozen seconds, but it made Chen Ziyan think about it for more than an hour after the meal.

How could someone like Lu Yanzhong be interested in meeting a small actor? Even if Wang Zhong praised him to the sky and the earth, it would be impossible for Lu Yanzhong to have such an idea.

Chen Ziyan could almost conclude that there must be other reasons why Lu Yanzhong wanted to see Lu Yanhe, but no one knew the reason at the moment.

There was nothing else strange about Lu Yanhe, so it was hard for Chen Ziyan not to associate it with Lu Yanhe's previous incident.

Could it be that Lu Yanzhong knows Lu Yanhe?

-

Lu Yanzhong was quite supportive of the Tianxing Award, which made everyone feel relieved.

After sending the person to the car and Ansheng back, they sat down again.

During this period, they have devoted almost all of their energy to this matter, and now the model has finally taken shape.

"I didn't expect that Lu Yanzhong would be so willing to be the honorary consultant of our Tianxing Award Committee," said Chen Hongyu.

Qin Zhikun asked: "Why do you say that?"

"He's notoriously cautious. He rarely makes decisions on a matter, even if it's just inviting him to a gala," Chen Hongyu said. "He relented after dinner today. Zi Yan must be quite resolute."

Chen Ziyan came to her senses and shook her head. "I don't have any face. It's just that the Star Awards and 'Idol Era' are the general trend. No one wants to be the first to try it."

It can be said that Chen Ziyan has done nothing else during this period except building momentum.

Chen Ziyan was doing just that. She built momentum around the Star Awards and "Idol Era," letting everyone know what they meant, making everyone want to be the first to board, rather than waiting to buy a ticket. And thanks to her connections within the industry, she was able to quickly build momentum.

What is Chen Ziyan's most valuable quality to others? Her experiences over the years have left a lasting impression on many: vision.

Jiang Lan looked at Chen Ziyan, smiled, and said, "Lu Yanzhong thinks so highly of Lu Yanhe, which shows Ziyan's vision. With Ziyan working with us on this, no one will question the prospects of "Idol Era" and the Tianxing Awards."

"Lu Yanhe is truly gifted in acting," Chen Hongyu said immediately. "Originally, his show 'Young Days' was airing on our Bingyuan video platform, and our backend data showed that Lu Yanhe is the most popular artist among the younger generation. Our backend data shows that as long as the keyword "Lu Yanhe" is included in the video, the percentage of non-fans who click on it is very high, significantly higher than that of other artists. With such popularity and excellent acting skills, it's no wonder he became famous so quickly."

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "We have an S+-rated drama where we invited Lu Yanhe to play the leading male role. It's also Lu Yanhe's first drama as the leading male role."

Chen Hongyu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it 'Seventeenth Floor'?"

"You're quite well-informed." Jiang Lan wasn't surprised at all. Instead, she smiled brightly. She was obviously very happy about this matter. "We have always wanted to make a high-quality short play. 'Seventeenth Floor' is one of our attempts. Zi Yan chose this one from many scripts at first sight."

Chen Hongyu tutted his words twice, "No wonder you guys haven't been willing to release this drama yet, and you've been holding it in your hands."

Jiang Lan said: "We are not holding back on this show intentionally. If you still price it based on the traditional number of episodes for a 12-episode series, it would be too much of a loss. It would be better not to sell it. We have full confidence in this show and it will be a hit."

Chen Hongyu said, "This kind of extreme escape drama has never been a huge hit before. Who would dare to pay a high price for it? The fact that you signed Lu Yanhe as the male lead is certainly a bargaining chip, but it's impossible for him to receive a salary that exceeds market standards."

Jiang Lan looked at Chen Hongyu confidently and said, "Then let's wait and see. You'll know after the filming of this movie is finished."

Chen Hongyu looked at Chen Ziyan in bewilderment and asked, "This drama hasn't even started filming yet, so why is Director Jiang acting like it's bound to be a huge hit? She definitely won't tell me. Ziyan, tell me, what's going on?"

Chen Ziyan shook her head, looking innocent, and said, "I don't know either."

Chen Hongyu: “…”

Jiang Lan immediately laughed.

She said, "Old Chen, please stop asking. Although your video platform has developed very well in recent years, thanks to the development of the Internet, it has snatched away a large part of the users of traditional TV stations like us. However, the old ones are still the best. When it comes to making real dramas, you still have to look to us."

Chen Hongyu never thought that Jiang Lan would be so "arrogant".

What kind of capital does she have that makes her so "arrogant"?

The four people dispersed and each of them left.

Half an hour later, Chen Ziyan and Jiang Lan appeared at the same time in another place, a private club.

Someone took them to a private room.

The environment here has a sense of low-key luxury. The corridors are dimly lit and the carpets are soft and thick. People walking on them make almost no sound.

Chen Ziyan glanced at Jiang Lan and said, "You said so much to Chen Hongyu just now, was it to get him to send out the signal?"

Jiang Lan's expression no longer reflected the arrogance she had just shown. She took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Some people are still trying to shut down the show 'Seventeenth Floor'. You know, some people can't stand my rapid rise in popularity in recent years and have been trying to stop me. The TV station's overall ratings have been declining, but they're using the decline in my show's ratings to criticize me. Everyone knows this is the general trend, but it's irrefutable proof that I'm not doing my job well. I have to come up with something that will leave them speechless."

"As you know, the drama 'Seventeenth Floor' encountered many difficulties from the very beginning and was almost scuttled several times. Your interest in 'Seventeenth Floor' is a timely relief for me, and Lu Yanhe's nomination for the Red River Award also saved 'Seventeenth Floor'. After all, it was Lu Yanhe's first drama as the male lead, and the station was optimistic about him." Jiang Lan said, "Now, there is still a force that wants to prevent 'Seventeenth Floor' from being filmed."

Chen Ziyan said: "It's very risky for you to choose such a subject."

Jiang Lan nodded and said, "It's indeed risky, but I'm not afraid of risks. Who in the content creation industry is afraid of creating risky content? If you want to bite off a piece of fat meat, you have to be prepared to break your teeth."

Chen Ziyan looked at Jiang Lan and smiled.

"After all these years, you're still so fierce and resilient, refusing to give in or bow down."

"If I had been willing to give in and bow my head, how could I have sat in my current position?" Jiang Lan laughed self-deprecatingly, glanced at Chen Ziyan again, and sighed, "I'm glad that you're staying here and not leaving."

Chen Ziyan said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to make 'The Seventeenth Floor' into a seasonal series, right? It's twelve episodes long, and it's about extreme survival."

Jiang Lan nodded, her eyes firm, "Become an ace, hold the ace firmly in your own hands, this is the way to survive and make a living."

Chen Ziyan nodded.

Jiang Lan's promotion in Beijing and Taiwan was very fast. The speed indicated her strength and ability, but it also meant that she had suffered a lot of suppression and attacks.

It's not surprising that Jiang Lan has such thoughts.

They waited in the box for about ten minutes before another person came over.

The person who came was Chen Bige, a top-tier celebrity and a big name that Chen Ziyan had personally brought up.

"Zi Yan—" Chen Bige hugged Chen Zi Yan warmly as soon as she came in. Her close and enthusiastic attitude seemed as if she was still Chen Zi Yan's artist. "It's been a long time since we last met!"

Chen Ziyan looked at her with a smile on her face and said, "Don't be too harsh on yourself to maintain your figure. You don't have any flesh left at all."

Chen Bige smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I've gained a little weight recently."

Jiang Lan and Chen Bige also hugged each other.

"Lantai, I've read your revised script. It's much better this time," Chen Bige said. "It's been a long time since I last acted in a TV series. I'm quite nervous."

Jiang Lan: "If you're still nervous, other actresses should just forget about it."

Chen Bi Ge shook his head and said, "I've been acting in movies these past few years. Maybe TV viewers don't even remember me anymore."

"You're exaggerating, you're the queen of the screen," Chen Ziyan teased with a smile, "Your popularity is so high that even if you were gone for ten years, this industry wouldn't forget you."

Chen Bige smiled and waved her hand, then looked at the two of them and said, "When Zi Yan first introduced me to the drama 'Seventeenth Floor', I was quite apprehensive because I had never acted in a drama of this type, nor had I ever done any action scenes. There are quite a few action scenes this time. I've been doing strength training recently, and my physical strength has finally improved a bit."

"I was wondering why you looked thinner again," Chen Ziyan said. "Your self-discipline is something all actors should learn from."

Chen Bige asked, "Where is my junior fellow apprentice?"

"Yan He?" Chen Ziyan shook her head and said, "He's in school. Don't keep calling Shang Yongzhou "younger brother" and making a fuss."

Chen Bige tutted his words and said, "After all, there's a top student from Zhenhua, and you don't even let me get close to him. Zi Yan, you really only listen to the laughter of the newcomers and don't hear the cries of the old ones."

Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at her speechlessly.

Jiang Lan looked at the scene in front of her and thought that the only agent who could maintain this kind of relationship with the artist she managed was Chen Ziyan.

Xin Zixing made the news that Lu Yanhe returned to "City Travel Notes" a hot topic.

The number of views of the recent episodes of "City Travel Notes" has been declining. It cannot be said that the quality has deteriorated. In fact, the reputation is still good, but the data such as the number of views has actually dropped. Moreover, each episode lacks the topics that cause heat outside the circle.

It is obvious that those previous topics were not all created by Lu Yanhe, but even if they had nothing to do with Lu Yanhe, they came out during the episodes recorded by Lu Yanhe.

If this continues, Xin Zixing doesn’t know how many more episodes of "City Travel Notes" can be produced.

Seeing such data performance, the senior executives of Yemai.com who had initially insisted on getting rid of Lu Yanhe's traces in "City Travel Notes" remained silent. Faced with Xin Zixing's insistence on inviting Lu Yanhe back, they no longer objected.

Many people went to Lu Yanhe's comment section to cheer, saying that he had finally returned to "City Travel Notes". They said that the previous episodes without him were very boring and they couldn't bear to watch them. Some also asked why he was absent from the recording and asked if he would be a permanent resident in the future?

Lu Yanhe replied to several people:

1. I was filming before, and then I went to school, so I was very busy. Therefore, I couldn’t participate in the recording of every episode.

2. "City Travels" is a program with great geographical and cultural significance. Whether he is a resident or not does not affect the quality of the program itself. In fact, even the few episodes that he did not participate in the recording, he watched them. Xin Zixing's team did a great job in the program.

3. If he has time, and if Xin Zixing’s team invites him, he will definitely participate, because he has a deep affection for this show.

Lu Yanhe's replies have answered many fans' questions.

Xin Zixing was also moved when she saw Lu Yanhe's replies. She didn't expect Lu Yanhe to speak up for them in this way.

She suddenly realized that Lu Yanhe might not even have noticed that Yemai.com had previously wanted to remove him from "City Travel Notes".

-

In May, Lu Yanhe had a rare leisurely weekend.

There were no filming assignments and no course papers to write.

Due to the filming requirements of "Seventeenth Floor", he also began to learn various skills from the action director arranged by the crew, such as wall climbing, rock climbing, etc.

Lu Yanhe finally found out who the heroine of "Seventeenth Floor" was.

He saw this on the Internet.

A marketing account said that the heroine of "Seventeenth Floor" is Chen Bige, who has not acted in a TV series for many years.

At the beginning, many people thought this news was unreliable.

After all, Chen Bige hasn't acted in a TV series for many years.

Many people even doubt whether Chen Bige will continue to act in TV dramas?

Then, three days later, "Seventeenth Floor" officially announced the male and female protagonists, Chen Bige and Lu Yanhe, and the entire entertainment industry was shocked by the news.

Chen Bige returns to TV dramas, Lu Yanhe's first role as the male lead.

The attention attracted by these two gimmicks made "The Seventeenth Floor" a major drama that everyone paid attention to overnight.

"Oh, my little brother! We finally meet!"

When Lu Yanhe met Chen Bige for the first time, he was still thinking about how to greet this top actress, but she came up to him and took Lu Yanhe's face in her hands and pinched it.

Lu Yanhe widened his eyes in surprise. He didn't expect Chen Bige to be like this.

In normal filming, Chen Bige is always a goddess, noble and cold. In front of the camera, Chen Bige also has a generous and friendly side, but it is definitely not like now - like an inexplicable older sister, pinching Lu Yanhe's face and smiling.

Chen Ziyan glanced at Chen Bige speechlessly and said, "Be quiet for a moment. This is our first meeting, don't leave a bad impression on Xiao Lu."

Chen Bige loosened her hand, looking relieved. She said, "How is that possible? What man wouldn't fall in love with a woman as beautiful and lovely as me? Right, Xiao Lu?"

Chen Bige threw a coquettish glance at Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe's cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

"Yan He, please sit down and ignore her. She's a real pushover." Chen Ziyan directly complained about the actress she had previously managed. "Don't get too nervous just because of her fame and the image she's created. Don't let her manipulate you. If you let her do that, don't blame me for not warning you."

Lu Yanhe didn't know how to respond.

Chen Bige laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Sit down."

Lu Yanhe sat down.

"Xiao Lu, let me ask you, has Zi Yan ever mentioned me to you?" Chen Bige asked immediately.

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"Really not." Chen Bige immediately glared at Chen Ziyan, "I told you that you definitely don't care about me anymore, and you still deny it. Look at Xiao Lu, his reaction is not deceiving!"

Seeing this, Lu Yanhe immediately said, "No, no, Sister Zi Yan often mentions you."

"Don't try to make amends for me. I won't mention her. She's just a nuisance." Chen Ziyan said bluntly, "The first artist I ever managed was also the most troublesome. Every day when she opened her eyes, the first thing she did was check her phone to see what she needed to do."

Chen Bige: "...It's not that exaggerated."

Chen Ziyan: "Haha."
