Chapter 209: Meeting

Lu Yan He couldn't explain it specifically. He couldn't tell Song Lin Xin that looking at her eyes reminded him of another person's eyes.

Even if Lu Yan He hadn't been in a relationship, he knew how stupid such words were.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Song Lin Xin didn't pursue it.

This chorus song was written and composed by Song Lin Xin herself, and she was full of talent. During breaks, Lu Yan He often saw Song Lin Xin humming some tunes by herself and then making records in a small notebook. This person really likes music. At a young age, she started writing and singing songs.

For Lu Yan He, now, he has been exposed to both singing and acting, and he found that if he had to choose one between the two, he would choose acting.

Acting gives him a more instinctive sense of excitement.

This day, Lu Yan He had originally made an appointment to meet Chen Siqi to discuss how to write the introduction for each column. Chen Ziyan suddenly called him and said that Director Chen Lingling had returned to China and was at the Lijing Hotel, hoping to see him.

Director Chen Lingling was the one recommended by Luo Yuzhong to Lu Yan He before, one of the top five big directors in the country, who had filmed "Dream Startling Wind and Glory," famous for its magnificent narrative structure and restrained and delicate narrative rhythm.

If it weren't for Luo Yuzhong's recommendation, Director Chen Lingling's new play would be a big pie that Lu Yan He could see but couldn't reach.

In her play, even a small supporting role has many people competing for it.

Big directors' plays are like this: good foundation, good script, you can catch a ride to become famous overnight, and you can meet many top big names in the industry.

Lu Yan He had to send a message to Chen Siqi, saying that he had temporary work and didn't know when it would end.

Chen Siqi returned an OK emoji.

Suddenly having to see Chen Lingling, he had no preparation at all.

Chen Ziyan drove to pick up Lu Yan He and said: "Have you seen Director Chen's play before?"

Lu Yan He shook his head.

Chen Ziyan said: "Regarding 'Phoenix Terrace,' I only heard one piece of news. It is said that this play is an ancient costume power struggle, following the group portrait of characters, but what role is looking for you to play, I can't find out. They have done a very good job of keeping secrets. Of course, you don't have to worry about this aspect. Since Director Luo Yuzhong recommended you, it means you are still somewhat like that character."

Lu Yan He asked: "Does today count as a trial play?"

"It depends on what Director Chen says. In fact, not every director will let actors try a play when they see them, especially big directors like them. Most of the time, they just want to see you, chat, deepen their familiarity with you, and then see if you have any characteristics of that character," Chen Ziyan said. "A big director once said that as long as the actor is chosen correctly, the director's work is half done. Compared to training an actor from scratch, many big directors prefer to find actors who can be close to the character itself, and then train the actors on this basis."

Many people have a wrong concept, that is, the background color of an actor is white. As long as they meet a director who knows how to train actors, they will burst out with very different brilliance. In fact, those directors who are called very good at training actors are actually stricter in choosing actors.

For example, the world where Lu Yan He was before he crossed over, a big director known as the National Teacher, is famous for training actors. But compared to training actors, the energy he spent on choosing actors is no less. Choosing a "Under the Hawthorn Tree," he can look at the information of hundreds or thousands of girls.

Chen Ziyan said: "Don't think too much, if you get it, you get it, if you don't, you don't. In the acting industry, not every opportunity can fall on your head. Relax your mind."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Chen Ziyan drove to the parking lot of the Lijing Hotel and was about to park, but was snatched by another car.

Chen Ziyan stepped on the brake fast enough, so the two cars didn't collide.

"How are you driving!" Chen Ziyan was so angry that she cursed and immediately lowered the car window.

Lu Yan He was also startled.

Just now Chen Ziyan was already reversing, preparing to reverse in.

Suddenly a car cut in.

That car parked and turned off the engine.

A figure familiar to Lu Yan He got out of that car.

Red short hair, wearing glasses, wearing a short skirt, the corners of her mouth slightly pursed.

He Yingzi, the agent who was at odds with Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yan He looked at her in surprise, and then, another person got out of the car.

Lang Xia.

Chen Ziyan's eyes became sharp instantly.

How could they appear here at this time?

This point in time, and this place, made Chen Ziyan have to think more.

Ever since He Yingzi appeared in front of her with Lang Xia, Chen Ziyan knew that one day, Lang Xia would become Lu Yan He's opponent.

He Yingzi is this kind of personality.

He Yingzi stood in front of Chen Ziyan's car, smiled at her, and even raised her hand to wave, as if greeting an old friend.

Even Lu Yan He felt that this move was provocative enough.

Just when Lu Yan He was still thinking about what reaction Sister Ziyan would have, suddenly, Chen Ziyan stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly rushed forward.

He Yingzi's face was also scared pale at this moment, took a step back, but didn't step firmly on a high heel, her foot twisted, and she fell directly to the ground.

Lang Xia was also scared to retreat several steps, his face turned white.

Not only them, even Lu Yan He sitting in the car was scared.

But the car stopped just as it was about to touch them.

Chen Ziyan's foot was on the accelerator, sneered, shifted into reverse, didn't say a word of nonsense, and went to find another parking space.

"..."

Lu Yan He, who watched this process throughout, took a long time to come back to his senses.

Damn, cool.

Lijing Hotel, Chen Lingling came out from the inner room.

Her producer Huangcheng saw her and immediately showed a smile.

"Lu Yan He and Lang Xia have both arrived," Huangcheng said. "Do you want to see them both at once, or one by one?"

Chen Lingling's expression looked a bit haggard. She had just returned from abroad and had been invited to be a judge at a film festival, with a heavy workload and not enough rest.

"See them together," Chen Lingling asked. "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Huangcheng immediately turned around and picked up a bag from the table next to him, saying: "I just ordered a takeaway for you, I guessed you were hungry, steamed dumplings and diced radish."

Chen Lingling's eyes immediately brightened, "Finally can eat this bite."

She sat down directly and started eating.

She is already a person nearly fifty years old. Generally, people of this age have more or less a sense of steadiness accumulated over time, but she is like a boy, her movements are a bit rough, and her expression reveals a bit of purity.

Huangcheng looked at her almost dotingly, and then said: "Eat slowly, wolfing down, you won't be able to recover for a long time if you choke."

"Oh, I'm really hungry," Chen Lingling said aggrievedly, "I didn't eat well in the morning, I'm too hungry now."

Huangcheng was helpless, "Then don't wolf down."

The conversation between the two has a closeness that transcends general relationships. However, neither of their assistants had any strangeness, as if they were already familiar with this scene. In fact, the relationship between the two has long been a good story in the circle.

"Chen Lingling was kidnapped when she was young." After parking the car, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of the possibility of seeing Huangcheng today while leading Lu Yan He to the hotel building, so she hurriedly told Lu Yan He about this past event that many people know, "She was wealthy when she was a child, was targeted by a gang, and was almost torn up. It was Huangcheng who saved her. Later, Chen Lingling started to be a director, and Huangcheng started to be her producer. The two have cooperated for more than 20 years. You might see Huangcheng later. If you see that their relationship is relatively close, don't misunderstand their relationship."

"Misunderstand their relationship?" Lu Yan He was stunned.

Chen Ziyan said: "Chen Lingling is still single now, but Huangcheng is married and has a wife. The two of them are not a couple."

Lu Yan He reacted.

"Oh, I see."

"In addition, I guess He Yingzi brought Lang Xia here today, also for this play. Maybe there will be competition between the two of you," Chen Ziyan reminded.

Lu Yan He himself had already thought of it.

He nodded and said: "Competition is competition, it's not the first time."

Chen Ziyan looked at him unexpectedly and said: "You look quite confident."

Lu Yan He said: "He hasn't acted in a play either, why should I be nervous."

Chen Ziyan laughed.

He Yingzi got out of the elevator with Lang Xia, turned her head to look at the boy beside her, nodded, and said: "Your father is friends with Huangcheng, and he has already greeted him yesterday. Don't be nervous later. Just be yourself as usual. Chen Lingling doesn't like people who pretend, just be real."

Lang Xia nodded and said okay.

"The role you want to try is a young commandery prince with a handsome appearance, so don't be too casual when speaking and acting later, do as you have been trained before."

"Okay, Sister Yingzi, don't worry, I will definitely win this role," Lang Xia said with a winning attitude.

He Yingzi looked at the handsome young man in front of her and smiled slightly.

Compared to Lu Yan He, Lang Xia's advantage is really not obvious. In just two months, Lu Yan He's fame has risen a lot. If it weren't for Lang Kequn's efforts behind the scenes, Lang Xia would have no competitiveness at all in competing with Lu Yan He this time.

However, this industry doesn't completely look at strength and popularity, otherwise there wouldn't be so many second generations.

Relatively speaking, Lang Xia's comprehensive conditions are already much better than many second generations.

He looks handsome, and his comprehensive conditions are also good.

Otherwise, He Yingzi wouldn't have become the agent of such a newcomer under Lang Kequn's request.

At the door, He Yingzi knocked on the door.

Immediately, Huangcheng came to open the door.

"Oh, Yingzi, long time no see, still so radiant," Huangcheng greeted, and his eyes fell on Lang Xia again, "Xiao Xia too, haven't seen you for so many years, you've grown so tall. Last time I saw you, you were still in high school."

"Hello, Uncle Huang," Lang Xia greeted Huangcheng.

He Yingzi looked at Chen Lingling, seeing that the latter was eating, and was a bit surprised, "Oh, is it not the right time for us to come? Is the director just having a meal?"

Chen Lingling just stuffed a dumpling in, waved her hand, signaling them to sit directly.

He Yingzi hurriedly pulled Lang Xia over to sit.

"Blame us for being too active. As soon as I heard the director wanted to see Xiao Xia, I immediately brought Xiao Xia here," He Yingzi said in an apologetic tone, but intentionally pointed out their active attitude, "I heard the director just came back from doing a judge abroad?"

"Yes, tired to death. In seven days, basically, watching films and discussions took more than ten hours a day," Chen Lingling finished the dumpling in her mouth and said, "Huangcheng, next time there is such a judge job, I won't go."

Huangcheng smiled and said: "This job was not picked up by me for you, it was someone else who asked you for help, and you agreed yourself."

Chen Lingling looked puzzled, "Is that so?"

"Yes," Huangcheng said, "I also told you, we are preparing for 'Phoenix Terrace,' and there are many things. It is not very convenient for you to be a judge at this time, but you said Director Pedro is your good friend, and he asked you for help, you must go to support him, then what can I do, I can't stop you, not let you go?"

Chen Lingling seemed to remember it just now, "Oh, it seems so."

At this time, the knock on the door rang again.

On the set of "The Golden Age," after a scene was filmed, Jiang Yuqian went to her RV to rest, waiting for the next scene.

She thought of the article that she hadn't finished thinking about, and had a headache.

Lu Yan He made a book and asked her to write an article. Although Jiang Yuqian said orally that she would consider it and might not be able to write it, she had actually agreed.

But she really had many concerns. What to write, what not to write, every time she thought of an interesting place, she would worry about whether such content would cause problems if written, be satirized, and be blacked.

"Writing about student days is too hard to write. Interesting things are things that cannot be written," Jiang Yuqian shook her head and sighed.

Her assistant Luo Xiaoyu was ironing a short-sleeved shirt for her, and hearing this, asked: "Sister Yuqian, why can't you write?"

Jiang Yuqian said: "That is, skipping classes, playing games in internet cafes, gossiping with friends, and going to secretly deflate the head teacher's tires. Can you say these things can be written?"

Luo Xiaoyu widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Jiang Yuqian in disbelief.

"Sister Yuqian, you actually did this kind of thing?"

Jiang Yuqian nodded and said: "Yes, so it's hard to write."

"However, Sister Yuqian, why do you support Lu Yan He so much? If you can't write it, just don't write it," Luo Xiaoyu said.

Jiang Yuqian said: "Why support Lu Yan He? Hmm, that's a good question, but I don't know why either. Maybe it's just a good eye. When I saw him accepting an interview with the TV station, I felt he was suitable to play that role in 'The Golden Age.' Hearing him ask me for help and write an article for the book he edited, I also felt it was pretty good."

"I thought Sister Yuqian you were a little moved by him."

"Ha?" Jiang Yuqian shook her head, "You think too much, little girl." ===== CHAPTER 210 =====
