Chapter 192: Look at Little Lu's Comprehension!

~29 min read 5,738 words

Ever since he knew Lu Yan He was sitting in his car, the driver had been talking excitedly all the way, mostly about how his kid studied.

Lu Yan He also felt sour and refreshing, not expecting that he had reached the point where other parents thought he could talk about parenting.

"..."

The key is that Lu Yan He really didn't know how to answer many questions.

Reading, learning, working hard, this is his personal business, how to make others stimulate such motivation, Lu Yan He also didn't know.

He had a natural sense of urgency—an uneasiness from a traveler.

However, others didn't have it.

Why do people study hard?

Everyone's reason is different.

Lu Yan He couldn't help others find their reasons.

When they arrived at the place for dinner, the driver stopped the car on the side of the road and excitedly came down to take a photo with Lu Yan He.

Chen Liang didn't turn off the camera from beginning to end, and the camera was always aimed at Lu Yan He.

After taking the photo, they finally sent away the obviously over-excited driver before they entered the restaurant.

A restaurant that looked ordinary from the outside, named "Forty-Nine East".

After Lu Yan He and the others entered, they attracted the attention of people in the store.

Even the clerk couldn't help but look over.

It's just that at this time, as long as it is a popular restaurant, during the meal time, there must be internet celebrities live streaming to explore the shop inside.

Everyone was used to it.

It wasn't until they found that there was a star among the people who came in that the atmosphere became a bit different.

The restaurant boss hurried over.

"Hello boss, I am Xin Zixing, I contacted you by phone before." Xin Zixing greeted him.

Learning from the lesson of Jiangqiao Bookstore, Xin Zixing called the boss of this restaurant in the afternoon to communicate about the shooting at night.

As soon as the boss heard that the artist shooting was Lu Yan He, he agreed immediately, very enthusiastically, and specially reserved a place for them.

Originally, the boss wanted to help them prepare a table of dishes, but Xin Zixing immediately shook her head and refused, saying: "This documentary of ours hopes to present the most real appearance, we will order on the spot."

Chen Liang set up the camera behind the dining table, changed the battery, and said: "Is it okay to shoot like this?"

Xin Zixing nodded.

Chen Liang arranged two camera positions, one for the panoramic view of the whole dining table, and one for Lu Yan He's close-up.

Lu Yan He asked curiously: "Is Brother Liang a photographer specially signed by Ye Mai website?"

"Yes." Xin Zixing nodded, "When our Ye Mai website was built, it focused on content such as text, photos, and video. However, these two pieces were mainly provided by users. Our website needed professional photographers to shoot some specific themes. Chen Liang was still specially recruited by me from school."

Lu Yan He looked at Chen Liang in surprise, "Did Brother Liang graduate not long ago?"

Mainly because Xin Zixing didn't look old either.

Chen Liang said: "Graduated for three years."

Xin Zixing said: "At that time, there were quite a few companies that took a fancy to Chen Liang. I spent a lot of effort to settle him and signed him to our Ye Mai website. At first, he came to help me with street shooting. I was doing fashion in this piece, and I had to squat in the most prosperous area several days a week to find people with style in the crowd to shoot. I needed such a photographer. Later, I occasionally started to do some humanities topics, and I also asked him to help. The technology is very good."

Liu Yajing nodded and said: "Chen Liang takes photos of us very well, sigh, I really hope I am the one in Chen Liang's camera."

Xin Zixing was crying and laughing when she heard it.

She turned to look at Lu Yan He: "Yan He, have you filmed such a documentary before?"

Lu Yan He shook his head and said: "No."

Even the original body hadn't filmed it.

Xin Zixing said: "There are very few documentaries like this in our country. There used to be many such programs, but they have slowly decreased in the last ten years."

"Yeah, I remember when I was a child, I often watched programs that went through streets and alleys to find restaurants, watching them eat very fragrantly on the program, and I was also very greedy." Lu Yan He said, "Now it seems that I really haven't seen such programs."

"This time coming to Langhua, the impression is quite deep." Xin Zixing said, "Clearly not far from Yuming, it only takes three or four hours to drive, but in my previous impression, because there is a film shooting base, this is a city where crews often come to film, but the economy is not developed. This time coming over, I often feel that there is a different world. Walking into a very ordinary alley, I can see small shops selling handicrafts, and I can also see small taverns that are not so modernly decorated. I don't know if you have been to a shop called Li Saozi Rice Wine. Their rice wine is brewed by themselves, and it is delicious."

Lu Yan He shook his head and said: "I haven't tasted it yet, I have to try it."

"Yeah." Xin Zixing nodded.

At this time, the boss personally brought the waiter to serve the dishes.

"Wow!" Liu Yajing's eyes lit up, "Looks great!"

The boss immediately beamed with joy and said: "Our family has been doing it for more than ten years, and the taste is known to the neighbors."

Lu Yan He distributed chopsticks to everyone and said: "I'm really hungry, let's taste it quickly."

He filled himself a bowl of soup first. The soup was fish soup, milky white, emitting an attractive fragrance. After drinking it, his throat to his lungs were hot.

"Delicious!" Lu Yan He's eyes lit up, "You guys taste this fish soup, very fresh!"

Xin Zixing: "Then I will fill a bowl for each of you."

It was really delicious, but it was also really hungry.

At 11:00 PM, Xin Zixing and the others finished.

"Sister Zixing, which hotel did you book?" Liu Yajing said, "Let's book together with you."

Xin Zixing said: "You might have to book a hotel nearby. I live in the hotel where Lu Yan He and the others are staying. There were no extra rooms yesterday, and it is estimated that it will be enough today. I will send you the address, you search for nearby hotels."

Liu Yajing nodded and said okay.

Lu Yan He said: "Then Sister Zixing, are you going with me?"

Xin Zixing nodded, turned to explain to Chen Liang and Liu Yajing, and said: "Today's shooting material, be sure to back it up the first time you go back, don't forget."

"Okay." Chen Liang nodded.

Arriving at the hotel, Xin Zixing said: "Yan He, you go up first, I'll go to the convenience store next door to buy something."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Xin Zixing wandered around the convenience store next door for a while, turned for about five minutes, bought a bottle of water, and then walked into the hotel.

She took out a room card from her bag and waited until there was no one around before walking into an elevator going up.

After coming out of the elevator, she walked straight to Huang Kai's room.

The thick carpet absorbed all the footsteps.

Xin Zixing turned around and looked around, looked at the surroundings, confirmed that there was no one, and then swiped open the room door and went in.

"Why are you with Lu Yan He?" Huang Kai asked the first time.

Xin Zixing: "Work."

She simply explained to Huang Kai, "I also suddenly thought that I could do such a plan, don't be jealous, he is so much younger than me, just a little brother."

Huang Kai hugged Xin Zixing from behind and said: "I'm not jealous, I'm just asking."

Xin Zixing secretly slandered in her heart: hypocritical.

Xin Zixing said: "But because of this work, I can stay for a few more days, which is good, but I can't come to you every night, it's too risky and easy to be discovered."

"It's okay, no one will come to my room." Huang Kai said.

His head leaned into Xin Zixing's shoulder socket.

"I ran outside all day, so hot, I'll take a shower first."

"Yeah." Huang Kai nodded, responded, but didn't let go of Xin Zixing.

Xin Zixing was helpless and said: "Okay, wait for me."

Huang Kai then let go, looked at Xin Zixing, and said: "Why didn't you find me for such work?"

Xin Zixing was stunned.

"Please, the funding for our whole plan is only 50,000 yuan, and the remuneration for Lu Yan He is only 10,000 yuan. Can I afford you?" Xin Zixing said, "I told you, don't be jealous."

Huang Kai: "I'm not jealous, just asking."

Xin Zixing silently held back her eye roll.

The cooperation with Ye Mai website, Lu Yan He originally thought it would appear after a period of time, which made him not expect that Xin Zixing wrote the first article the next day.

Author signature Xin Zixing, title *City Travel Notes·Langhua: Discovering this city with Lu Yan He*.

This title made Lu Yan He a bit surprised.

Because it is not a title party, and even a bit serious and formal that is not very consistent with the internet environment, like the kind of title used in traditional magazines.

Photos, text.

Website layout pays great attention to aesthetics.

"... It was such an accidental encounter that made this thought pop up in my mind: invite Lu Yan He to discover the city of Langhua together. A city carries the memory of years and humanities. Because of the existence of people, even if it tends to be similar with the process of modernization, please believe that it will definitely not be the same. And a city that looks like there is no surprise at first glance, if you discover it with your heart, you can also find unique surprises in it. This is the relationship between people and the city."

A paragraph at the beginning made Lu Yan He look at it completely.

Xin Zixing's text has a quiet narrative feeling, which complements such a theme.

Afterwards, it was a photo of Lu Yan He standing at the entrance of Jiangqiao Bookstore looking at the bookstore name.

A paragraph of text, a photo, Xin Zixing is trying to preserve the seriousness of the content and the relaxation of reading in this form.

"For the memory of Langhua, it must be personal, private, and uncopyable. But this is exactly the most subtle place in the relationship between a person and a city. When Lu Yan He looked at the barbecue stall by the river and said he wanted to eat there with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, I was thinking about who I can go to eat barbecue by the river with? This kind of romance that belongs only to us is constantly emerging in the process of knowing the city. This is the city's geography, and it is also our travel notes."

Lu Yan He spent fifteen minutes reading this article.

After reading the ending, many emotions emerged in his heart.

Xin Zixing said: Yan He, if possible, I would like to ask you to share this article on social platforms, okay?

Lu Yan He: Okay.

He said again: This article is written too beautifully.

Xin Zixing said: I got up at four o'clock this morning to write it.

Lu Yan He: So strong.

Xin Zixing: We are preparing to launch the documentary next Sunday.

Lu Yan He: Hmm.

Lu Yan He forwarded this article to several of his social platforms.

Xin Zixing asked again: Yan He, do you have a registered account on Ye Mai website?

Lu Yan He: Registered one, but not with my real name.

Xin Zixing said: We want to do a real-name authentication for you, do you think it is possible? I heard that the reading department is also talking to you about a cooperation, and will invite you to write book reviews on our website in the future.

Lu Yan He: Real-name authentication now? I just registered not long ago and haven't posted any updates.

Xin Zixing said: That's fine, no need to work hard to delete "black history", haha.

Lu Yan He smiled: Also.

Thus, he told Xin Zixing his ID and ID number. After a while, Ye Mai website modified his information from the background, and he had a real-name authentication: Artist Lu Yan He.

Five minutes later, the photo of Lu Yan He standing at the entrance of Jiangqiao Bookstore appeared on the homepage of Ye Mai website, with the line "City Travel Notes·Langhua: Discovering this city with Lu Yan He" written on it.

Clicking in, it is the article written by Xin Zixing, and at the end of the article, Lu Yan He's personal homepage is linked.

"Making it so literary, does he think he is a literary youth?"

Zhou Ping'an frowned, clicked on the article link forwarded by Lu Yan He just now, figured out what it was, and immediately closed it with disgust.

"Who?" Ma Zhiyuan asked.

Zhou Ping'an looked back at Ma Zhiyuan sitting in the back row and said: "Lu Yan He, he cooperated with Ye Mai website on a city travel note, full of literary youth disease."

Ma Zhiyuan pulled the corner of his mouth immediately when he heard the three words Lu Yan He.

"Brother Ping'an, why did you give him up at the beginning?" Ma Zhiyuan asked.

"Hmm?"

"You kept Li Zhibai, Cheng Hai, and Yan Liang, but terminated the contract with Lu Yan He, didn't you?" Ma Zhiyuan said.

Zhou Ping'an: "Oh, that matter, nothing, just a small matter. At that time, I felt he had no future, so I gave him up."

Ma Zhiyuan: "Then his momentum is so fierce now, Brother Ping'an, don't you regret it?"

"What's there to regret? Aren't you brought by me now?" Zhou Ping'an said with a smile, "In this company, no one's momentum is as fierce as yours."

Ma Zhiyuan's mouth curled slightly.

"Brother Ping'an can also predict the future, knowing that I will be transferred to your hands?"

"You have ambition and ability, you won't stay in MX forever, you will always go solo. When you go solo, Lin Suyang's ability is not enough to help you realize your ambition. Then in the whole company, who is more suitable than me?" Zhou Ping'an said, "I appreciate your courage, and I also appreciate that you never use so-called ideals and dreams to affect actual interests."

Ma Zhiyuan said: "Those things are too far away."

"That's right, you are right." Zhou Ping'an said, "But many people can't understand this."

Ma Zhiyuan: "But isn't Lu Yan He's route quite successful now?"

"How far can he go?" Zhou Ping'an said, "Academic route, literary route? Maybe he satisfied the preferences of some people for a while and gained a certain popularity, but this industry is not something that can stand firm by moving some people. Those who are truly popular, none of them take the niche route. Idols are a kind of artist identity shaped to obtain the pursuit of the vast majority of teenagers, making people have worship and pursuit mentality, making people believe and love. You can have your own temper, personality, and hobbies, but you can't have temper, personality, and hobbies that make people lose fans."

Ma Zhiyuan: "It is said that our domestic idol economy will usher in an explosion. When do you think it will be?"

"I think it has already started. From MX's overnight popularity, it has fully explained this huge market, but many people think your popularity is accidental, not the market's demand. They are short-sighted."

Ma Zhiyuan was silent for two seconds and laughed.

"Brother Ping'an, I am starting to believe that we can cooperate very smoothly now."

Xin Zixing's article received the main push of Ye Mai website.

All users who log in to the Ye Mai APP and Ye Mai website today can see the push about this article.

Such an article has gained high reading volume and likes on Ye Mai website, but the response in other places is not big.

It was Lu Yan He who was very surprised. In one day, his followers on Ye Mai website exceeded 5,000.

Lu Yan He has visited Ye Mai website. The website has some star-level users who are pushed. Those with more followers only have 30,000 or 40,000 followers.

Compared with star-level users on other websites, this is not a magnitude at all.

However, judging from the interaction of their updates, they are indeed basically benign interactions, and it is rare to see some fan-style messages.

In short, Ye Mai website users, many active fans, are real people using this account.

Therefore, Lu Yan He never thought that he would get so many fans after real-name authentication.

Looking at Xin Zixing again, she has long had more than 10,000 fans and is a red person on Ye Mai website.

Lu Yan He added scores and reading marks to several books he had read before on Ye Mai website. As a result, many people asked under these scoring updates, what kind of book is this? Is it worth buying?

Then some people who have read these books left messages saying it is very good.

As a result, Xu Xiaoyin of Jiang Yin Publishing House was surprised to learn that several books she was responsible for, such as Liu Jiazhen's *Nineteen Years of Crime Record*, such as Ming Yin's *Star Track*, suddenly ushered in a wave of sales peaks, and many booksellers came to add orders.

Checking what happened, hey! It's Lu Yan He again!

This time, many Ye Mai website users knew about these books because of Lu Yan He's updates, and thus became interested. This is another group of people from the fans in Lu Yan He's live broadcast room.

Xu Xiaoyin couldn't help but sigh: "This Lu Yan He is really awesome. He can gather a group of fans when he arrives at Ye Mai website."

Editor-in-chief Liu Cheng said: "It can be seen that he is really passionate about books, and has been using his own strength to introduce the books he likes, letting more people know."

Xu Xiaoyin nodded and said: "Is the cooperation agreement between our publishing house and him signed?"

"Still going through the terms, his agent pays great attention to details and has modified it back and forth several times." Liu Cheng said, "However, after several contacts with them, I am still willing to cooperate with them. The cooperation agreement has not been finalized until now, but they have never gone to push our books because of this. Lu Yan He arrived at Ye Mai website and thought about adding scores to these books."

"He also really likes these books." Xu Xiaoyin said, "*Nineteen Years of Crime Record* has sold film and television copyrights. I recommended Lu Yan He to them at the time, hoping that if there is a chance, please ask Lu Yan He to act, but they are not very interested and still want to find first-line actors to act."

"We can't intervene in this kind of thing. The production cost of a film and television project is much more expensive than a book. Let's just do our own things well. Speaking of which, how is Liu Jiazhen's new book prepared?"

"Still writing, I read his first draft last week and gave modification opinions. He is modifying it." Xu Xiaoyin said, "I hope his new book can borrow the east wind of *Nineteen Years of Crime Record* to sell more and enter the ranks of best-selling writers."

"At that time, send a trial reading copy to Lu Yan He." Liu Cheng said, "If he is willing to recommend it, it will definitely help."

"Okay, I plan to invite Liu Jiazhen to do an exchange activity in Lu Yan He's live broadcast room at that time."

"Will Lu Yan He agree?"

"Should be, his relationship with Liu Jiazhen is quite good, I see them often liking each other's circle of friends."

"Hmm." Liu Cheng nodded.

Lu Yan He didn't know that he had been stared at by Xu Xiaoyin again.

He is now thinking about Ye Mai website, marking some books and film and television dramas he likes, and replying to some comments in the comment area.

Ye Mai website is indeed a very interesting website.

It will recommend some you might like according to the books and film and television dramas you have marked.

Lu Yan He read some book reviews and film reviews written by everyone, and had several marks of wanting to see and read.

And everyone will leave messages under his marking updates, telling their feelings about this film and television drama or book.

Many people are quite enthusiastic.

When Chen Ziyan talked to him on the phone, she talked about the article written by Xin Zixing.

"This article is written well. Under her pen, you are a young and sunny teenager. No one will not like you after reading it." Chen Ziyan said, "So you still have to make friends with cultured people, even praising you can be more advanced."

Lu Yan He was very embarrassed when he heard Chen Ziyan say this.

"The documentary will be played next Sunday, on Ye Mai website." Chen Ziyan said, "I called their boss today. Their boss is also a standard literary youth. He appreciates you very much and talked about hoping to cooperate with us for a long time in the future, conducting some cooperation like *City Travel Notes*."

Lu Yan He gave an "hmm", "Okay, I also like such work very much."

While working, eating and drinking with the shooting team, looking for interesting places in the city, such work content is very happy.

Chen Ziyan: "I am thinking about a question. In this way, is your cultural atmosphere or literary atmosphere a bit heavy? This is not a bad thing, but if others think of you, the impression associated is the four words literary youth, it also affects your commercial value. I am not discriminating, but the label of literary youth is not a good thing for an artist."

"Hmm, then do you mind if I take less such work in the future?"

"No, I think you should give everyone some other impressions besides literary youth." Chen Ziyan said, "You can't be trapped in a cage. Why don't you go for some sports, run a marathon, swim, ride a bike, etc., all can, create a fitness sunny and refreshing impression, and reconcile with the quiet impression of literary youth."

"Sister Ziyan, I am very lazy. This thing can be installed for three days, but not for a month."

"Who asked you to install it? You are a young man, keeping fit can also make your body better. This is a good thing for you." Chen Ziyan said, "This is good, you choose one yourself, I will find you a coach to bring you to do it regularly."

Lu Yan He: "... Find a coach? Sister Ziyan, I haven't earned much money for you yet. You are asking me to hire acting teachers and coaches. This is not how you do loss-making business."

"You also know that I am still losing money now." Chen Ziyan said, "Then listen to me honestly."

Lu Yan He: "... Okay."

"How is filming in

Lu Yan He: "... Alright then."

"How is it filming on set?" Chen Ziyan asked again.

"I have a scene tomorrow," Lu Yan He said. "My scenes are mostly done now. Basically, I only have one scene every day or two. It's very easy. After about another week, I'll be completely finished and can head back."

Chen Ziyan: "Hmm, you've finished your first project so quickly. Do you feel any reluctance to leave?"

"I do, but more than that, I feel like I haven't had enough," Lu Yan He said. "I find that I quite enjoy acting now, especially since I feel I have a real talent for it."

Lu Yan He didn't show any false modesty; he spoke very directly.

Chen Ziyan, however, laughed and said, "Many actors are like that. Once they are in front of the camera and the director calls action, their state becomes completely different from usual. You were very nervous before joining the crew and couldn't sleep, but now you've felt that excitement of acting, haven't you?"

"Yes," Lu Yan He said. "I'm especially looking forward to filming the fight scene now."

Chen Ziyan: "Looking forward to it is one thing, but make sure you learn all the movements from the stunt coordinator. Don't just mess around, or you'll easily get hurt."

"Understood, I'll be careful." Lu Yan He smiled, said goodbye to Chen Ziyan, and hung up.

Lu Yan He's feeling for acting was indeed very good right now.

After the nervousness of being a newcomer passed, he had entered a honeymoon period.

Perhaps it was because Director Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian often praised him encouragingly, and combined with his own frequent feeling of having performed well and entered the role, Lu Yan He could clearly sense that he had a bit of talent for acting. He didn't need to deliberately stir up emotions; just by reading the lines and following the script, the necessary emotions and details emerged naturally.

At most, there were some unsuitable parts that Director Luo Yuzhong would point out, and then they would do it again.

Even Li Qian was surprised by his performance.

Once, Lu Yan He and Jiang Yuqian were filming an indoor scene.

Li Qian was observing from the side, originally intending to watch Jiang Yuqian's performance, but she ended up being captivated by Lu Yan He.

This scene was originally just a filler, depicting the two of them arguing over which movie to watch on Saturday; it was meant to highlight the sweetness and bickering between a couple.

However, the look in Lu Yan He's eyes was very different. He kept revealing a mournful expression, like a puppy locked outside on a rainy day. It wasn't much, just a tiny bit, but it instantly made one lose their temper.

Jiang Yuqian had been arguing with him, and according to her own design, she was supposed to act coquettish and whine a bit more. Who knew that Lu Yan He's brilliant, mournful look would make it impossible for Jiang Yuqian to act coquettish, otherwise the scene would look completely incongruous.

Jiang Yuqian had to change her acting approach on the spot, switching to being the one to compromise and accommodate Lu Yan He.

Yet, this handling was extremely vivid and natural.

Because in their relationship, Lu Yan He played the mature senior and Jiang Yuqian played the short-tempered junior. Now that the two had established a romantic relationship, their private interaction mode had changed, resulting in a sense of authentic interaction between a couple.

After filming, Jiang Yuqian's eyes became mournful.

"Lu Yan He, you almost made it impossible for me to respond."

Lu Yan He scratched his head. "Sorry."

Director Luo Yuzhong laughed heartily, walked over, and said, "That look Little Lu gave just now was powerful."

Jiang Yuqian: "I knew you would like it, Director."

Li Qian, who had watched the entire scene, looked at Lu Yan He in disbelief.

This was the first time she had watched Lu Yan He complete a scene in its entirety.

She had heard staff members on set say before that Lu Yan He had a great feel for acting.

At the time, Li Qian hadn't taken it to heart.

Having a "feel" for acting is a very vague description; what capable actor doesn't have a feel for acting?

Seeing Lu Yan He act today, Li Qian realized that they just didn't know how to describe the feeling of Lu Yan He's acting.

His innate performance style, which knew how to touch people's hearts, was perfectly suited to this role.

When this drama airs, it might be the moment Lu Yan He truly becomes an overnight sensation.

Li Qian was shocked to find that such a thought had actually occurred to her.

Luo Yuzhong specifically found a private moment to talk to Lu Yan He, telling him: "You have a great talent for acting, Little Lu, but you must never forget to hone your craft just because you have talent. In this drama, you met me to help you adjust the details, you met a photography master like Liu Zeliang to help you play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and you met a partner like Jiang Yuqian who can catch all your improvised changes. But if you go to another crew, your collaborators might not necessarily be able to adapt to you."

Luo Yuzhong spoke with great earnestness.

"Only when you truly turn talented performance into a quality that can be output stably like a technique will you truly become an actor."

Lu Yan He nodded earnestly and said he would.

"Keep working hard, don't let your path go astray, just act well, and you can make it," Luo Yuzhong said.

"Okay, I will definitely keep that in mind," Lu Yan He said to Luo Yuzhong.

Luo Yuzhong added: "I have an old friend who is preparing a period drama. There is a role in it he is looking to cast, and I recommended you to him. You can go and try out."

Lu Yan He showed a surprised expression.

"Ah?! Thank you, Director!"

"Alright, don't thank me," Luo Yuzhong said. "I only recommended you because I saw you were truly suitable."

"Regardless, I must thank you for patiently guiding me during this time," Lu Yan He said. "Sister Yuqian also told me I was very lucky to encounter your production for my first drama, which laid a very good foundation and habits. She said if my first drama had been spent in a mediocre crew, I definitely wouldn't know how to prepare for a scene like I do now, or how to judge whether a scene was acted well. I learned all of this this time."

Luo Yuzhong nodded. "You and Yuqian are both children with high intuition. As for your future achievements, it depends on your own destiny. We can certainly give you a push, but where you end up ultimately depends on yourselves."

"Yes."

Luo Yuzhong had no personal connection to him; he undoubtedly truly appreciated Lu Yan He, which is why he specifically came to tell him these things.

Lu Yan He was not an ungrateful person, and his heart was filled with gratitude toward Luo Yuzhong.

The final scene was the one where Lu Yan He fights with several people.

This scene was the most difficult to film and the easiest to get injured in, so it was specifically moved to the end.

If Lu Yan He were to accidentally get hurt, the other scenes would already be finished, so it wouldn't matter; he could just wrap up and go recover.

Lu Yan He was quite nervous because the previous scenes were all dramatic, and although this wasn't a formal martial arts fight, it was a brawl with no real technique to speak of. Still, it was a real fight, and since it was Lu Yan He's first time, he was naturally uneasy.

The advantage of a large production crew is reflected here; even for a scene like this, Luo Yuzhong specifically hired a stunt coordinator to design the movements for the entire process.

Every step had a technique, so the actors didn't have to guess.

Many crews, when encountering such scenes, either have the director tell the actors to just do a few random moves and rely on post-production editing, or the actors have to figure out the moves themselves on set.

Lu Yan He had already learned the moves from the stunt coordinator, and the people playing the ones causing trouble were all professional stunt actors.

They were the best at controlling their strength, so they wouldn't easily hurt Lu Yan He.

Everything went well during rehearsals, but when filming officially started, Lu Yan He made frequent mistakes.

It was mainly because he was acting too mechanically and stiffly.

After careful analysis, it was discovered that Lu Yan He had a fear of fighting, afraid of truly hurting the other party. He held back his strength, and with these reservations, his movements became stiff and mechanical.

The opposing actors encouraged him: "It's fine, just let go and fight. We've been studying martial arts for years; if you could hurt us that easily, we would have wasted our training."

Lu Yan He also knew where his problem lay. He didn't think too much and just did one thing: self-hypnosis. Then he said to Director Luo Yuzhong: "Director, if I don't act correctly in a moment, please don't call cut. Let me finish the fight twice completely. I need to overcome my psychological barrier."

He knew his problem was a psychological barrier.

Luo Yuzhong nodded gladly.

Once.

Twice.

Lu Yan He was truly becoming more fierce and aggressive with each take.

Others felt it, and he felt it himself.

"Look at Little Lu's intuition." Luo Yuzhong's gaze toward Lu Yan He no longer hid his appreciation.

Wang Yunfan arrived at this moment.

He had just finished filming with B-unit, and once this scene was done, they would move to another location to film.

Wang Yunfan had returned specifically to move with the main group, and also wanted to find time to talk to Director Luo about the later scene.

Then, he heard Luo Yuzhong say this in a tone full of appreciation: "Look at Little Lu's intuition."

Wang Yunfan's heart sank in an instant.

He had been filming with Luo Yuzhong for so long, and he had never heard Luo Yuzhong praise him like that.
