Chapter 133: Who Says a Study Streamer Can't Make Money?

National Day holiday, the whole country celebrates.

Lu Yan He still woke up at 5:50 without fail, started reading English, reciting ancient poems, organizing the knowledge points that still needed further consolidation from the previous day, and then focused on history.

If there was nothing going on in the morning, Li Zhibai generally wouldn't get up before 10:00.

Yan Liang came back from running and asked Lu Yan He if he planned to continue staying in the room to read books today.

Lu Yan He said he was going to school.

Yan Liang nodded and said: "I have to start preparing for exams too."

Lu Yan He asked: "Are you going to school too?"

Yan Liang showed a look of embarrassment, shook his head, and said: "The company helped me arrange a tutor to prepare for the art exam, teaching me physical form and acting, and cultural courses were also arranged."

The reason he was embarrassed was that he knew the company hadn't arranged these for Lu Yan He, and he was afraid Lu Yan He would feel uncomfortable hearing it.

Lu Yan He nodded and said: "You have to take the art exam, it's best that the company arranged courses for you."

Saying he didn't feel uncomfortable in his heart, that must be a lie.

But Lu Yan He wouldn't vent these emotions on Yan Liang.

He also knew that this had nothing to do with favoritism; he and Zhou Ping'an had long since had no "each other".

At 8:20, Lu Yan He arrived at the gate of the residential area. While waiting for Li Pengfei, he also sent a message to Jiang Yuqian: Sister Yuqian, can you please give me Luo Dao Yuzhong's contact information? I have something I want to talk to him about.

Lu Yan He didn't know if Jiang Yuqian would give it to him.

But since they were both willing to let him act in 'The Golden Age', Jiang Yuqian should help him, right?

Lu Yan He held this hope.

When Jiang Yuqian woke up, it was already 10:30 in the morning.

She got off the bed, her white silk pajamas swaying as she walked, occasionally revealing a pair of straight and white long legs.

For a period of time, Jiang Yuqian relied on these long legs to gain popularity on the Internet. On the one hand, there was the company's operation and marketing, and on the other hand, it was because those iconic photos and GIFs of her hit some people's hearts, and a pair of long legs made them sway.

She took her phone and lay down on the sofa in the living room. When she opened it, there were many unread messages.

One of them was sent by Lu Yan He at 8:20 in the morning.

Jiang Yuqian frowned slightly.

Wanting Luo Dao Yuzhong's contact information?

Jiang Yuqian sighed.

Yesterday, Zhou Ping'an reported conditions to Luo Yuzhong, which was simply a sky-high price. For Lu Yan He's role in 'The Golden Age', Zhou Ping'an offered a salary of 800,000 yuan—for Lu Yan He's current status, this was fundamentally an astronomical figure. No crew would agree to it because he wasn't worth that price. In addition, Zhou Ping'an also requested to arrange a role for Cheng Hai and Yan Liang each.

Zhou Ping'an wasn't crazy; he must have known that such a quote would not be agreed to by Luo Yuzhong, clearly wanting to use this to reject Luo Yuzhong.

Jiang Yuqian didn't even ask Lu Yan He if he knew about this.

Whether Lu Yan He knew or not didn't matter, because the decision-making power for this matter was in Zhou Ping'an's hands, and it was useless for Lu Yan He to say anything.

Because of this matter, Jiang Yuqian herself felt embarrassed.

Originally, it was she who recommended Lu Yan He to Luo Dao Yuzhong. Now that such a thing had happened, Luo Dao Yuzhong must be full of anger.

Jiang Yuqian thought about letting this matter go. Even if Lu Yan He was good and suitable for this role, with an agent like Zhou Ping'an who wasn't sincere in cooperation, there were too many troubles that could be caused to the crew in the future. Jiang Yuqian didn't want to take these risks. Even if she was the heroine, she was only a junior in front of Luo Yuzhong.

She put down her phone and went to flip through the refrigerator, taking out a bag of oatmeal and a box of milk.

Cook some milk oatmeal for herself at noon.

Brushing teeth, washing face, applying a mask... By the time she finished tidying herself up and returned to the living room, it was already 30 minutes later.

Jiang Yuqian picked up her phone again.

Don't know why, even though she had made a decision, Lu Yan He's sensible, polite, and unhurried appearance kept appearing in her mind.

Finally, she remembered the last expression Lu Yan He had on the day of the audition, the nostalgia and bewilderment in his eyes, which inexplicably touched her heartstrings.

Forget it.

Jiang Yuqian thought, help him one more time. How this matter turns out depends on himself.

She sent a message to Luo Dao Yuzhong: Director, just now Lu Yan He asked me for your contact information. I think he should have something to say to you. I saw that you appreciated him on the day of his audition, so I pushed your WeChat to him.

After sending the message, she pushed Luo Yuzhong's WeChat to Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He replied after a while: Thank you, Sister Yuqian!

Jiang Yuqian thought for a moment and reminded him: Do you know what conditions your agent offered to the production side?

Lu Yan He: I don't know, Sister Yuqian. Zhou Ping'an hasn't contacted me from beginning to end. I heard from others in the company that the director chose me.

Lu Yan He: Did he offer any difficult conditions?

Jiang Yuqian sighed.

Sure enough.

She sent Zhou Ping'an's conditions over and said: The director should be quite angry. If you want to contact him, explain less and apologize more. Wait until he is in a better mood before explaining clearly. However, if you cannot change Zhou Ping'an's attitude, don't force it anymore.

Lu Yan He: Okay, thank you, Sister Yuqian, I know.

Looking at the message sent by Jiang Yuqian, Lu Yan He's heart sank directly to the bottom.

Sure enough, Zhou Ping'an had no intention of letting him act in 'The Golden Age' at all, and came up with such a damaging trick.

Luo Yuzhong took a fancy to Lu Yan He and chose him to act.

Zhou Ping'an and the others couldn't directly refuse a director of Luo Yuzhong's level, so they thought of this method.

Forcing Luo Yuzhong to give up voluntarily.

If Jiang Yuqian hadn't told him about this, he wouldn't even have known what Zhou Ping'an had done.

Really disgusting.

Lu Yan He's eyes flickered.

"Old Lu, what are you thinking about?" Li Pengfei suddenly patted him from behind.

"Ah?" Lu Yan He came back to his senses.

Li Pengfei said: "I called you just now and you didn't react."

Lu Yan He: "Just zoned out, what's wrong?"

Li Pengfei said: "I'm asking you, do you want to drink coffee? I'm ordering coffee, sigh, so sleepy, studied all morning, my head is dizzy."

"I don't need it, you drink it yourself."

Li Pengfei took his phone and ordered a delivery for himself.

"It's almost 11:30, time for lunch," Li Pengfei's eyes lit up. "I finally felt what it means to be hungry from studying. This word is really appropriate."

Lu Yan He looked at him and smiled speechlessly.

Just then, footsteps sounded in the corridor.

Several people came over.

The school during the holiday didn't have many people coming for self-study like them.

So, this burst of footsteps was particularly obvious.

A scene that shocked Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei appeared.

Li Luzhi walked into the classroom with two men in black suits and a woman who was relatively plump and dressed relatively plainly.

Each of them was carrying a food box.

"Oh, studied all morning, tired, right?" Li Luzhi walked in with a smile and asked.

Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei both widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at him and the three people behind him at a loss.

"Dad, why did you bring so many people here?" Even Li Pengfei was a bit confused.

Li Luzhi said: "Delivering lunch for you guys."

Li Pengfei swallowed his throat and said: "Even if you're delivering lunch for me, you don't need such a big battle, right?"

Li Luzhi: "You and Student Lu have both studied so hard, of course you have to eat well and supplement your body. Let me tell you, this was specially made by a chef invited by Dad."

As soon as he greeted, the two men in black suits behind him quickly pushed several desks together, forming a larger square table.

Afterward, the middle-aged woman who looked like a nanny opened the food box skillfully. Inside, it wasn't rice and dishes, but a tablecloth and tableware.

She spread out the tablecloth, set the tableware, and then brought out the rice and dishes and set the table.

They seemed to have received professional training, their movements were done in one go, without any pause, and after finishing, they left the classroom very quickly.

Li Luzhi sat down first, looked at the two young people in a state of near petrification, and said: "Sit, eat."

Li Pengfei took a deep breath and said: "Dad, fortunately, there is only one classmate Lu in the class today, otherwise I would really lose my face."

Lu Yan He knew this guy Li Pengfei. Although he always said that his family had wealth and he didn't have to worry about anything, he wasn't a person who liked to show off in front of classmates, always very low-key, completely different from Chu Saiying, who liked to be flamboyant and thought he was superior.

Lu Yan He sat down generously and said: "Then thank you, Uncle."

Seeing Lu Yan He sit down, Li Pengfei's feeling of being embarrassed by his father's flamboyant style also faded a bit, and he sat down too.

Li Luzhi was extremely enthusiastic toward Lu Yan He, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "It would be great if my son had made friends with you earlier."

As soon as Li Pengfei heard this, he knew what his father wanted to say, and immediately interrupted with a dark face, "Dad, you better stop, don't say it."

Lu Yan He probably guessed what Li Pengfei's father wanted to say.

It was estimated that he was too surprised to see Li Pengfei's change in attitude toward learning recently and started to work hard, attributing all of Li Pengfei's changes to Lu Yan He.

Li Luzhi smiled and said: "Okay, if you don't let me say it, I won't say it. Eat, this tuna sashimi is your favorite. Specially ordered from someone, caught from the sea this morning, taste it."

Lu Yan He looked at the neatly arranged sashimi in front of him in shock. What shocked him was Li Luzhi's sentence just now, "caught from the sea this morning."

Yuming is not a coastal city.

Li Luzhi definitely wouldn't brag for this sashimi. It can only be said that rich people really don't care about money to eat what they want. It is estimated that as soon as it was caught from the sea, it was sent directly to the plane?

Or how?

Sent thousands of miles to Yuming, then sliced on the spot, and put into this food box delivered to Class 3, Grade 3 of the 13th Middle School.

Li Pengfei ate very happily.

Eight dishes on the table, couldn't finish at all.

Li Luzhi didn't move his chopsticks much, just kept picking up dishes for Li Pengfei and Lu Yan He.

"Eat more, this black-bone chicken soup is stewed with ginseng, remember to drink a bowl of soup later to supplement your body. You third-year students study from morning to night every day, it's too hard, even training eagles is not as hard as you."

Every time Li Luzhi opened his mouth, he shocked Lu Yan He once.

But with so many shocks, Lu Yan He felt a bit sour in his heart again.

Regardless of how exaggerated these dishes were made, they were all arranged by Li Luzhi for his son.

At this moment, Lu Yan He missed his parents very much, the parents in his original world.

His family was very ordinary, not as rich as Li Pengfei's, but his parents would also arrange a table of dishes, making him happy and satisfied.

Lu Yan He envied Li Pengfei very much.

Because he no longer has a father who loves him so much.

"By the way, Yan He." During the meal, Li Luzhi's address to Lu Yan He changed from Student Lu to Yan He, "I see from the information on the Internet that you are still an idol artist?"

"Yes."

"Then are you planning to participate in the art exam?"

"I'm not participating in the art exam, just the college entrance exam," Lu Yan He said. "See how many points I can get in the college entrance exam, then go to what university."

"Don't plan to be an artist in the future?"

"Look at the opportunity, if there is an opportunity to do it, of course I still want to continue," Lu Yan He said.

Li Luzhi nodded and said: "I heard that you recently opened a livestream room, and Pengfei follows your livestream to read books every night after returning home. This mode gave me some new ideas. My company is recently promoting a new social software, originally focusing on information mutual aid between students, but your livestream made me realize that maybe I can open a new online study room function."

"Online study room?" Lu Yan He was a bit surprised.

"Hmm," Li Luzhi said, "Didn't you take everyone to recite words together every night a few days ago? This is actually very inconvenient. You livestream, and you can't connect with everyone. It's purely relying on your reporting Chinese, and people watching your livestream purely rely on self-consciousness to memorize English. It's very mechanical. But if there is such an online study room, and there is a host, adding some auxiliary functions to it, such as people in the study room choosing some words together in the word bank, allowing everyone to memorize words together, the market should be very large in the student group."

Li Pengfei seemed to be hearing about this for the first time, showing a shocked expression, and almost wrote the four words "Be a human!" on his face.

Lu Yan He smiled and said: "I don't know how many students are willing to use this online study room function, but there must be many teachers willing to use it, especially during this kind of holiday, teachers wish they could install a monitor in our home to see if we are studying well."

Li Luzhi laughed.

"It seems it can really be promoted," he nodded. "When this new function is developed, I want to invite you to use it in your livestream room. Of course, it's not free. I will pay you a commission according to the market price. What do you think?"

Lu Yan He looked at Li Luzhi in surprise, not expecting to get such an opportunity to make money.

A livestream room for studying, can it really make money?

The things Li Luzhi said made Lu Yan He's mood recover a lot from Zhou Ping'an's disgusting behavior.

"Okay, of course I'm willing," Lu Yan He said with a smile. "If such a function comes out, it will be much more convenient for the friends who follow me to study every day in the livestream room, and I can also earn extra money."

Li Luzhi: "This also came from your inspiration."

Li Pengfei didn't expect that his father came over today and actually brought Lu Yan He a cooperation to make money.

However, will Zhou Ping'an take this promotion work for him?

Lu Yan He couldn't grasp Zhou Ping'an's attitude. This cooperation promotion is just purely making money, not exposure like going on programs or filming. Zhou Ping'an might agree? If he doesn't agree, then he has no way, after all, what work to take and what work not to take are all in Zhou Ping'an's hands.

He suddenly felt that having such a termination agreement is also quite good. If he can maintain the current state until the end of the college entrance exam next year, as Qiu Ling said, he still has many opportunities, and from then on, the sky is high for birds to fly.

After lunch, Li Luzhi took people to pack things up, restored the desks, and left in a hurry.

"Son, I have a dinner party tonight, so I won't come. Aunt Zhang will come to deliver dinner for you, just wait." Before leaving, Li Luzhi said.

Li Pengfei: "Delivering dinner is fine, don't make such a big battle again."

"Okay, study hard."

After people left, Li Pengfei made a face at Lu Yan He.

"Don't you think my dad is quite exaggerated?"

"Quite good," Lu Yan He said, "Envy you for having such a dad."

Li Pengfei suddenly remembered that Lu Yan He's parents died early and he was an orphan.

He cursed himself for having a sick brain, babbling about his dad in front of Lu Yan He, regardless of whether he was exaggerated or not.

"So sleepy," Li Pengfei covered his round belly, "Want to sleep after eating, I'll sleep on the table for a while."

Lu Yan He nodded and said: "You sleep."

He took out his phone and clicked on the chat window with Jiang Yuqian again.

First applied to add Luo Yuzhong's WeChat friend.

—Luo Dao, hello, I am Lu Yan He. As long as you are willing to let me act in 'The Golden Age', I will act no matter what difficulties I face.

Express attitude first.

This was the only message he could send to him before Luo Yuzhong passed his friend request.

Lu Yan He didn't know if Luo Yuzhong would agree to his friend request.

If he agreed, it meant Luo Yuzhong still intended for him to act.

If he didn't agree, then Luo Yuzhong's anger hadn't subsided, so he would think of other ways.

Lu Yan He had already made up his mind that this time, at least what he could do, he would do, and try every possible way to keep this opportunity.

Ten minutes later, the phone rang.

He immediately picked it up and took a look. Luo Yuzhong agreed to his friend request!

He let out a long sigh and immediately sent a message to Luo Dao Yuzhong: Luo Dao, I am very sorry, I just heard the conditions my agent proposed to you, and I am very ashamed to have caused you so much trouble. I will call you now, is it convenient for you? I hope to act in this movie. Regarding the conditions my agent proposed, please do not take them to heart.

These words were pondered by Lu Yan He for a long time.

How to appease Luo Yuzhong's emotions at the first time, and express his attitude to him, that he really wants to act in 'The Golden Age', and at the same time tell him that the unreasonable conditions proposed by Zhou Ping'an will not become an obstacle to cooperation.

After two minutes, Luo Yuzhong's voice call came.

Lu Yan He immediately walked out of the classroom and connected to the call at the end of the corridor.

"Luo Dao, hello."

"Little Lu, I am very relieved to have this attitude from you," Luo Yuzhong sighed, seemingly not angry at Lu Yan He. "Yuqian also mentioned to me that your relationship with your agent seems to be not very harmonious. I think he proposed these conditions, probably also meaning not in the wine. To talk about cooperation, it is not such a way to talk."

"Yes, I am very sorry."

"You should only be able to listen to your agent's arrangements in this matter, right?" Luo Yuzhong said.

Lu Yan He didn't expect Luo Yuzhong to ask this question directly.

He said: "Before the end of the college entrance exam next year, I have to listen to his arrangements, but after the college entrance exam ends, I will terminate the contract with the company. Luo Dao, Sister Yuqian said that your play will be filmed in the second half of next year. After the college entrance exam ends next year, I will restore my status as a free person, and then I can make my own decisions."

This was the only thing he could take out to convince Luo Yuzhong after thinking for a long time according to his own situation.

"Terminate contract?"

"Hmm," Lu Yan He said, "I have already signed a termination agreement with the company, and the agreement takes effect on the day the college entrance exam ends next year."

Luo Yuzhong was surprised.

"If you are not at ease, I can give you a copy," Lu Yan He said. "Director, I have never acted in a play, and I don't know where to start as an actor. Being able to get your appreciation is fate suddenly opening a door for me. I know I must grasp this opportunity, and I also promise you that I will definitely exclude all difficulties to act in this movie. As long as you are willing, whether it is the salary or other conditions, I will listen to you."

Luo Yuzhong was silent on the other side.

Lu Yan He thought, did he express it too much?

Will it put too much pressure on Luo Yuzhong?

However, these are not things he can grasp now.

He has nothing, no golden finger, no system, no background, and no interest relationship that can move Luo Yuzhong.

The only thing he can do is to take the initiative to fight for an opportunity for himself like today.

Maybe it will succeed, maybe it will fail, but if he doesn't fight, he thinks, he will probably regret every day in the future, why didn't he work harder and be more active?

Luo Yuzhong said: "Little Lu, let me think about it carefully, I will contact you again."

Not getting a positive answer made Lu Yan He a bit disappointed.

But Luo Yuzhong's next sentence made him happy in his heart.

"You take a photo of your termination agreement and send it to me," Luo Yuzhong said.

He was still moved!

Lu Yan He was surprised and excited, "Okay, I will send it immediately, thank you Director!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan He looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the building, and the clear wind and bright moon in his chest overflowed, and the feeling of comfort spread.

Only at this moment did he feel a numbness in the soles of his feet.

Making this call to Luo Yuzhong, he was actually very nervous and uneasy, full of hope on the one hand, and worried about being rejected by Luo Yuzhong on the other.

Putting down his restraint and directly expressing his earnest attitude toward an opportunity is something Lu Yan He rarely does.

Always want face, afraid to admit his persistence and obsession with an opportunity.

But he has nothing now, no golden finger, no system, no background, and no interest relationship that can move Luo Yuzhong.

The only thing he can do is to take the initiative to fight for an opportunity for himself like today.

Maybe it will succeed, maybe it will fail, but if he doesn't fight, he thinks, he will probably regret every day in the future, why didn't he work harder and be more active?
