Chapter 150: Black Face
Lu Yanhe looked over with Chen Ziyan.
That red short hair shining in the sun made Lu Yanhe think of her name in an instant.
He Yingzi.
Chen Ziyan's rival.
But the last time she saw her, she was alone, but today there was another person beside her.
It was a boy about the same age as Lu Yanhe, looking gentle, like a student.
Chen Ziyan's eyes lingered on the boy for a moment, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Is it necessary? Looking for people according to the appearance of my people."
That boy looked a bit like Tu Song.
Lu Yanhe looked curiously, but the boy silently moved his eyes away, as if he didn't want to have any communication with him.
Arrogant enough.
He Yingzi smiled and said: "What are you talking about? Little Lang is the son of Lang Kequn. Looking for people according to the appearance of your people? It's a pity you can say it."
Chen Ziyan was stunned, and her eyes looking at the teenager beside He Yingzi changed a bit.
Lu Yanhe was thinking, who is Lang Kequn?
Anyway, not a big star or a famous person, he had no impression of this name.
"Is this the newcomer you are going to bring in the future?"
"Lang Kequn asked me to bring him, can I refuse?" He Yingzi said. "And, Little Lang's aptitude is very good, it would be a pity not to debut."
"Really? Then wait and see." Chen Ziyan said, took back her eyes, and took Lu Yanhe away first.
Although Chen Ziyan had no expression on her face and couldn't see any emotion, Lu Yanhe still noticed that she closed the car door harder than before.
It seems that Chen Ziyan really hates He Yingzi.
Lu Yanhe sat silently in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
After a while, Chen Ziyan suddenly remembered something, looked at Lu Yanhe who remained silent, and asked: "Don't you have anything you want to ask?"
Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment, "Who is Lang Kequn?"
Chen Ziyan smiled and said: "A rock singer who debuted more than twenty years ago, later retired, but has deep friendships with many people in the entertainment industry. He Yingzi has been the agent of many of his friends and is mixed in a circle."
"Oh." Lu Yanhe nodded, it seems that Little Lang is also a relationship household.
"It seems to be called Lang Xia, I remember." Chen Ziyan suddenly said, "There are quite a few such second generations in the circle, many. You will meet many in the future. They may not be mixed well themselves, but thanks to the network of contacts and relationships woven by their fathers, they can also live very well, and even form a circle. As long as one or two in this circle rise, then others are mixed generally, it doesn't matter, they can be brokers, and then the circle gets bigger and bigger, excluding dissidents."
"Hmm." Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Be cautious about these people, don't offend if you can. In such a big industry, many of them are often frogs at the bottom of the well, thinking that their circle is the biggest, but they don't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there is no need to please these people too much." Chen Ziyan said, "With me, you don't need to please others to exchange for resources. You just honestly improve your acting skills and improve your business ability. I will help you get everything else done."
"Hmm." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Ziyan had nothing to say.
On Sunday night, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang returned.
Both of them looked exhausted.
Lu Yanhe waited for them to tidy up a bit, and then said that he was going to move out.
Li Zhibai's first reaction was: "Why do you want to move out? Aren't you still in the company?"
Lu Yanhe said: "After all, I changed an agent, and I still live here, Zhou Ping'an will also have opinions."
Li Zhibai: "If he has opinions, let him have them. This is a dormitory rented by the company for us, not rented by him."
Lu Yanhe said: "That's what I said, but if I insist on staying here, it looks too thick-skinned, no need, and I'm not moving to other places, still in this building, living with Tu Song."
The reactions of Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were a little better.
If they are still in this building, everyone is still very close.
"Also, after this summer vacation, I have to move to the school to live, otherwise it's not convenient." Lu Yanhe said, "When you have time, come to my place to play."
Li Zhibai hummed: "Alas, the child has grown up and is going to leave the nest."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
"Are you free tomorrow?" Li Zhibai suddenly asked.
"I have to go to the company for class during the day, Sister Ziyan arranged an acting class for me, why?"
Li Zhibai said: "Chen Biqiu invited me to dinner tomorrow night, I am going to go with Yan Liang, if you are free, let's go together."
"Chen Biqiu? Why did he suddenly invite you to dinner?" Lu Yanhe was a bit surprised.
"Who knows, but after getting him drunk last time, he seems to be a bit more enthusiastic about me, often helping me introduce some program resources." Li Zhibai said, "Maybe he thinks I toast him very diligently, so he has a good impression of me, thinking I respect him very much?"
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang were speechless after hearing this.
What the hell?
However, this statement is really hard to refute, because it is really possible that it is as Li Zhibai said.
Lu Yanhe said: "I don't know when tomorrow's acting class will end, if it ends early, I will go."
Chen Biqiu is a program producer.
For Lu Yanhe's current status, a good program is also a very critical resource.
Li Zhibai took the initiative to let Lu Yanhe go with him if he had time, actually, it was this intention.
Being able to know a veteran program producer like Chen Biqiu is a very helpful thing for artists like them who are in the rising period.
Mainly because popularity is a metaphysics now, there is no fixed route to take, only relying on quantity to win, to see which one can set off some splashes.
Therefore, recording programs is also the same. Recording ace variety shows and hot programs is of course good, but it is not that anyone who wants to record can record. They can only take the quantity route, betting that one or two of them can bring them good heat, so it is not in vain.
However, current variety shows, even if they are not very popular, are small programs, for artists of Lu Yanhe's level, they also need to be seriously fought for.
Which brokerage company does not have signed newcomers, after one or two years of training, more or less will have some popularity.
Lu Yanhe is not said to be very popular—the time when he was most popular has passed for several months. With the preparation for the exam, he had long been silent again. The banner of "seeing justice and doing justice" only gave him a golden body, but could not give him the heat that was always paid attention to.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe also needs to be on variety shows.
The cycle of filming is as short as half a year, as long as several years. Entering the group in July, it is fast for this play to meet everyone next year.
Before that, Lu Yanhe still has to eat.
After the livestream exchange activity between Lu Yanhe and Liu Jiazhen and Ming Yin ended, Chen Ziyan combined with Jiang Yin Publishing House to do a publicity about this activity. The main point is that a total of 20,000 books were sold in one livestream, and the total amount of code exceeded one million yuan.
This figure did not cause a particularly wide sensation, but it was paid attention to by the publishing industry.
What was paid attention to was the figure of 20,000 copies.
Liu Jiazhen and Ming Yin are not famous writers, they are newcomers. A livestream can sell 20,000 books, which is obviously the promotion effect of the streamer.
But this is not those legendary streamers with very strong ability to bring goods. Can a small artist have such a great appeal?
Chen Ziyan wants to push this news, which is to actively arouse the publishing industry's attention to Lu Yanhe, to actively understand Lu Yanhe's own particularity, so as to shape Lu Yanhe's industry image such as "loves reading," "good character," and "excellent artist."
Although Lu Yanhe is not particularly popular, his fan stickiness is strong. This impression is solid, and it can also make film and television companies and video platforms more willing to bet on Lu Yanhe.
On Monday morning, Zhou Ping'an listened to entertainment news through the radio and happened to hear this news about Lu Yanhe.
This news made him scoff.
20,000 copies, a total code amount of over one million yuan... and this is actually embarrassed to publicize?
The code amount of a third-tier small artist going to bring a livestream is far more than this.
Zhou Ping'an of course knows that Lu Yanhe's livestream channel is not a conventional livestream channel. The activity in the afternoon of that day only had two books, "Nineteen Years of Crime Records" and "Star Orbit," and books are one of the most difficult things to sell now. Being able to get this result, given Lu Yanhe's current popularity and popularity, is actually quite good.
But how could he be willing to think about Lu Yanhe in a good way?
This bit of total code amount, embarrassed to take it out to praise, is really nothing to praise.
Zhou Ping'an drove to the parking lot downstairs of the company and happened to meet Chen Ziyan who was also parking.
People unceremoniously reversed into the garage and grabbed the last position in this row.
Zhou Ping'an was so angry, but he could only find another parking space.
Could he still grab a parking space with Chen Ziyan?
Even Vice President Ma rushed to find Chen Ziyan's trouble, and finally didn't fix it.
Zhou Ping'an found a parking space, parked the car, and walked to the elevator entrance.
As a result, two people were standing at the elevator entrance waiting for the elevator.
Zhou Ping'an heard his name before he got close.
"I heard that Lu Yanhe was favored by Chen Ziyan and is now signed under Chen Ziyan. Counting it, two of the three new artists Chen Ziyan brought are transferred from Zhou Ping'an's hands."
"Yes, but when Lu Yanhe and Tu Song were in Fengzhi, they were always quiet and not popular. Why did they get Chen Ziyan's favor?"
"Who knows, anyway, everyone knows that people who can be favored by Chen Ziyan will definitely be popular in the future."
"Then Zhou Ping'an is not going to regret to death, people are all out of his hands." Another person said.
At this time, the elevator came.
The two people in front walked in, turned around, and saw Zhou Ping'an standing behind them.
Zhou Ping'an's face was as black as if it were going to drip ink, and they were also confused.
When did this person pop out?!
In Star Entertainment Brokerage Company, there are quite a few people who hold such views, and Zhou Ping'an also knows, but it is the first time to hear others discuss it with his own ears.
Zhou Ping'an is very angry, but the mouth grows on others' faces, and others don't care about him when they want to say anything.
Tu Song is fine, he and Vice President Ma have long wanted to drive Lu Yanhe away. Why have they been tossing until now? Isn't it just to let the contract termination be completed quietly, without attracting others' attention, and without being questioned by others.
But Chen Ziyan turned around and signed Lu Yanhe back to the company, and, just the day after he formally signed the contract termination agreement with Lu Yanhe!
This is simply hitting his face!
Now, everyone in the company knows the news that Lu Yanhe was favored by Chen Ziyan, but not many people know about Lu Yanhe's previous contract termination with the company. Everyone just thinks that Lu Yanhe was transferred from Zhou Ping'an's hands to Chen Ziyan's hands.
Zhou Ping'an is thinking, if everyone knows about the contract termination, I am afraid there will be more people who ridicule him—they don't know that he wants to terminate the contract with Lu Yanhe, not because he thinks Lu Yanhe has no future, but only thinks that the person he gave up was favored by Chen Ziyan.
This morning, Lu Yanhe can also be considered to have enjoyed the treatment of an artist brought by a gold medal agent.
Special car pick-up and drop-off, downstairs, as soon as he entered the company, everyone's expression looking at him changed, and their attitude towards him also had a great change, even with a bit of enthusiasm, there is a kind of intimacy of betting on him in advance.
Lu Yanhe knows what these changes are about.
He is actually here to take an acting class today, and there is no other arrangement.
But the eyes of everyone looking over made him feel like he had won some big award and "returned to the dynasty."
He came to the rehearsal room, and Chen Ziyan was talking to someone inside.
"He is here." Chen Ziyan saw Lu Yanhe come in and said to the person in front of her, "Old Zhang, I will leave this child to you. His audition clips have also been shown to you. You should be able to see that his understanding of acting is good. How far he can go in the future depends on how solid the foundation is. His advantage is that he is willing to work hard and put in effort, but acting is not something that effort and effort can work. You have to help, don't act more and more solid."
This person she called Old Zhang wore a fisherman hat and wore clothes dominated by black and gray, very loose, looking in his early thirties.
"Okay." Zhang Ming nodded and smiled.
He is thin and looks clear when he smiles.
Lu Yanhe walked over and shouted Sister Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan said: "Zhang Ming, a teacher at the Beijing Art Acting Department."
Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up, looked at the thin man in front of him with surprise, and immediately bowed politely, saying: "Hello, Zhang Laoshi."
Although he knew he was going to take an acting class, Lu Yanhe hadn't dared to dream that the acting teacher Chen Ziyan helped him hire would be from the Beijing Academy of Arts.
Beijing Art is the highest institution of acting.
Lu Yanhe is now lacking a foundation and a guide.
Chen Ziyan said: "Zhang Laoshi is my old friend. For the first few lessons, he will tell you what acting is. Later in the afternoon, another teacher will come to take you to familiarize yourself with the script and rehearse in advance."
Lu Yanhe finally understood that Zhang Ming was not the acting teacher who specifically rehearsed him.
Zhang Ming Chen Ziyan was also worried that Lu Yanhe would despise the other party because Zhang Ming was teaching theory, so she added: "Acting is not a technical job, although many people treat it as a technical job. The better the actor, the less they care about the word acting, but often emphasize the character, emphasize the state of the character. You must understand the difference between them, and even more understand what is good acting. First have a concept, set this foundation for you, and your future path will not go astray."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "Sister Ziyan, I will listen carefully, don't worry."
Chen Ziyan nodded and said: "Then I will go back to the office first. Old Zhang, I found a restaurant at noon, let's have lunch together. It's been a long time since we ate together."
Zhang Ming nodded.
Chen Ziyan patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder and left.
Lu Yanhe was still a bit nervous in front of Zhang Ming.
Because it was the first time to meet, and it was a teacher.
Zhang Ming is experienced and saw Lu Yanhe's nervousness at a glance.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
How to say, as an acting teacher at Beijing Art, this kind of private work is really quite a lot.
Zhang Ming doesn't take everyone. But Chen Ziyan's request, he couldn't refuse, so he could only take it.
He took it, but Zhang Ming was also worried about meeting someone who was difficult to open.
Lu Yanhe is an idol artist who debuted very early—most of this type of artist has a problem, because they are used to the camera early, have the image designed by the company early, and fall into a certain camera mode too early, simply put, they have lost their true colors.
True colors are exactly the most important thing for a new actor.
Zhang Ming saw Lu Yanhe's audition lens, and his eyes lit up. It can be seen that this child has talent and understands acting.
But he was worried that this child's mind was not right and he could not learn with an open mind.
In many people's concepts, newcomers and young people are all learning with an open mind, especially in many literary and entertainment novels, many newcomers correct their positions as soon as they come up, and will never be rebellious, arrogant, or proud in front of teachers and seniors, obedient as if there is no such thing as rebellion, arrogance, and pride at all.
In fact, many young people see those big names and big bosses, that is, respect on the surface, polite, really want to be humble and small everywhere from the heart, that is a dream.
Zhang Ming is also worried that Lu Yanhe has such a problem.
Being nervous means he is not the kind of young person who doesn't take learning and him to heart.
Zhang Ming smiled and said: "Sit down, there are no seats here, let's sit on the floor."
Lu Yanhe followed Zhang Ming and sat on the floor.
In such a large rehearsal room, there were only the two of them, and the room seemed empty.
Zhang Ming said: "Your physical appearance is quite good, a typical young actor's look, with regular features, which also gives you a great advantage; you can try to handle any role. However, as for what route to take in the future, there is still a focus. No matter what the route is, remember one thing: acting is always your foundation for survival; nothing can affect the quality of your performance."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Why do many directors dislike plastic surgery faces? Is it because plastic surgery faces don't look good? No, it's because they aren't natural." Zhang Ming said, "Then why must an actor's face be natural? Have you considered such a question?"
The extra update is here.
