Chapter 222: Annoying

Luo Yuzhong's face appeared on the screen.

As a well-known director in the industry, not many people might recognize his face, but his name was absolutely thunderous.

For the audience, it was the same.

He should be on the set, facing the camera and saying: "Little Lu is a very talented actor. I was indeed surprised. He could act without any effort in his first time acting, without that sense of force. This is rare. I think he will film many dramas in the future and become an actor liked and recognized by everyone. I am honored that such an actor's first drama in his life was a collaboration with me."

The VCR ended here.

Applause sounded in the studio. Lu Yan He saw it this time; it was the on-site director leading the audience to applaud.

Peng Zhixing said happily: "This VCR was recorded by Director Luo Yuzhong specifically for our program. Lu Yan He hasn't seen it before this. Yan He, what do you want to say about collaborating with Director Luo Yuzhong?"

"I—" Lu Yan He only hesitated for a moment, "I feel very lucky to have met Director Luo Yuzhong to film my first drama, making me yearn to be an actor."

*Zhi Xing* usually lasts 40 to 50 minutes, and the on-site recording is about an hour and a half.

One episode was recorded very smoothly.

Lu Yan He originally thought he would be very stiff, after all, he was accepting an interview in front of so many people and cameras, and he couldn't ignore these existences yet, but the scene was much better than expected.

Peng Zhixing's interview style made him feel very comfortable, without any feeling of being offended—Lu Yan He knew that he was not qualified to blame others for offending him at his age, but the feeling was just like that.

After recording *Zhi Xing*, Lu Yan He said goodbye to Peng Zhixing.

Peng Zhixing said: "If you have nothing to do later, let's have a meal together. I can also finish work today."

Lu Yan He said apologetically: "I have an appointment later."

Peng Zhixing heard this, nodded, and said: "Then let's make an appointment next time."

When Lu Yan He returned to the lounge, Lin Miaomiao was waiting for him in his lounge.

"Why are you here?"

"Waiting for you, who knows if you will sneak away," Lin Miaomiao was still playing with her fingers. Seeing Lu Yan He, she stood up and said: "Let's go."

Lu Yan He: "... Okay."

During the recording break, Yu Jiang came out to go to the bathroom.

She happened to see the figures of Lu Yan He and Lin Miaomiao passing by the corridor in front.

Yu Jiang's face turned ugly immediately.

She pointed at them and asked the staff member beside her: "Who is the girl beside Lu Yan He?"

The staff member took a look and said: "It's our Lin Zong's daughter."

Yu Jiang frowned slightly: "Lin Zong?"

"Yeah, our boss at Arctic Light."

Yu Jiang reacted.

Her expression became even uglier.

Is this the confidence that Lu Yan He refused to act in her novel adaptation drama?

"Does Teacher Yu also like Lu Yan He?" the staff member asked.

Yu Jiang rolled her eyes and said directly: "What's there to like about him?"

After saying that, she turned and left.

The staff member was surprised, not knowing why Yu Jiang suddenly turned her face.

This reaction seemed like she had a grudge against Lu Yan He.

Did they have any grudge between them? -

In the second half of the recording of *Book Club*, everyone talked about the topic of adapting novels into film and television dramas. On this topic, Yu Jiang became the well-deserved protagonist.

Yu Jiang's novel film and television adaptations are very numerous.

Someone asked if Yu Jiang was deeply involved in her film and television adaptations.

Yu Jiang smiled and said: "Actually, it mainly depends on the opinions of the production side. If they need my opinion, I will participate more. If they don't need it, then I am happy to be an audience."

"Regarding casting, will you provide your own opinions?"

"The production side will ask for my opinion, and I will also recommend the actors I like to them. Actually, I also have a habit when writing, there will be an image in my mind," Yu Jiang said. "Sticking to this image to find actors might be more suitable."

"I heard that Teacher Yu Jiang's *Empty Face* is also going to be adapted into a web drama. Regarding this drama, does Teacher Yu Jiang have any actors in mind?"

Yu Jiang's face almost collapsed.

She originally wanted Lu Yan He to act in this drama, but was rejected.

Yu Jiang supported the smile on her face and said: "This is a youth love story. As long as there are young actors with youthful breath, they are all quite suitable. Let's look at the acting skills. I don't have specific candidates."

At this time, another guest suddenly said: "Isn't there a popular idol artist named Lu Yan He? I quite like his image. Now young artists, both men and women, put on very heavy makeup. He rarely puts on makeup, looking clean and refreshing."

Yu Jiang almost suspected that this guest was deliberately mentioning Lu Yan He at this time.

"Haha," Yu Jiang immediately said, "Then I still hope that professional actors will act in this drama. Although Lu Yan He is very popular, he is just an idol artist. Can idol artists act?"

Although she said these words with a smile, they carried a clear sarcastic meaning.

Everyone else on the scene was stunned for a moment, looking at her at a loss, not understanding why Yu Jiang suddenly said such things.

On the scene, Xu Bantian heard Yu Jiang's speech and also showed surprise.

That night, the *Book Club* program team held a meeting about this matter.

Whether to put Yu Jiang's segment into the main film.

The debate was great.

Zheng Huai, the screenwriter of *Book Club*, insisted on deleting this segment.

"Our program is a positive energy program, not to broadcast content that we all feel is controversial for the sake of so-called heat. This is obvious. If this clip is broadcast, it will definitely cause huge controversy. This is the intention of our program completely changed."

"But this is also what the guest wanted to say herself. We didn't make any malicious editing," another deputy director Liu Shuang immediately said. "Yu Jiang's words themselves also represent a point of view. Why don't we put it in the program and let everyone discuss it?"

"Are you doing this for discussion? We are not novices in this line of work. Everyone knows how much controversy Yu Jiang's words will cause once they are broadcast. By then, the intention of our program will be completely changed," Zheng Huai said.

"Teacher Zheng, the intention is of course very important, but a program also needs heat, right? It is clearly a topic with discussion value. I don't understand why you are worried that these discussions will affect the intention of the program."

"Because the discussion of this matter finally became whether idol artists have acting skills. Is this the topic our *Book Club* program wants to discuss?" Zheng Huai asked.

Zheng Huai's offensive was very fierce, causing the meeting to pause briefly.

Just at this time, Xu Bantian suddenly spoke.

"Actually, I have a view," he said, and everyone else looked at him.

After all, he was a representative sent by Jingtai, not a person from Arctic Light Video. Although he was only a deputy director, he represented Jingtai, and everyone still respected his opinion in their daily work.

"A program recording will always have all kinds of unexpected situations. As production staff, to what extent we should interfere with the content of the program is something that everyone of us has been thinking about, but there is one point: if these words are what the guest wants to say herself, and are the views the guest wants to express, then we don't have the power to be a scissor-hand, to cut off their words, to distort their meaning."

Xu Bantian finished speaking seriously, looking at everyone, "Teacher Yu Jiang didn't make a slip of the tongue. We were all on the scene. We know that Teacher Yu Jiang said such things very seriously and properly. She was not targeting Lu Yan He alone, but the phenomenon of idol artists acting. This phenomenon itself is a very common phenomenon nowadays. Then why should we avoid talking about this phenomenon at this time?"

Zheng Huai looked at this young man from Jingtai in surprise, wanting to refute something, opened his mouth, but because of Xu Bantian's words, he couldn't find a logical loophole for a while, and instead said nothing.

Lin Miaomiao brought Lu Yan He to a restaurant with a dreamy decoration style.

"If you are afraid that Chen Siqi will misunderstand, you can call her to come and eat together," Lin Miaomiao said as soon as she entered the restaurant.

Lu Yan He looked at her awkwardly, thinking, how can they eat together? If he called Chen Siqi over at this time, it is estimated that all three of them would be extremely awkward.

"You and her did *Jump Up* together, when will it be published?" Lin Miaomiao asked as soon as she sat down.

Lu Yan He said: "It is expected to be at the end of this month, but the manuscripts have not been collected yet, and Jiang Yin Publishing also needs to send it for review. It is not that fast, maybe it won't catch up at the end of this month."

"You decided to make a book in July, and you want to make it by the end of August. It's unrealistic in the first place."

"At first, I didn't think about physical publishing. If there is no physical publishing process, just making an e-book, the time is actually enough."

"I really envy you guys," Lin Miaomiao showed envy on her face.

Lu Yan He: "What is there to envy? If you want to do it, you should have many opportunities, right?"

Lin Miaomiao is the daughter of the boss of Arctic Light Video. The resources she can possess and use are definitely several times, or even dozens of times, his.

It's fine for others to envy, what is there for Lin Miaomiao to envy?

Lin Miaomiao shook her head and said: "I am not as lucky as you guys, being able to do what I want to do."

Lu Yan He was a bit confused, "Does your dad not support you?"

"No, it's for other reasons. Oh, I'm just expressing my envy for you guys. Don't ask so much," Lin Miaomiao waved her hand. "Look at what to eat first, look."

She pushed the menu to Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He picked up the menu and was about to look at it seriously when someone suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Miaomiao."

The person who appeared in front of them was someone who looked about the same age as them.

However, he was wearing a black suit and a tie, looking as if he was going to attend a banquet, not coming to eat in such a restaurant.

Lu Yan He didn't know him. When Lin Miaomiao looked up and saw him, she was a bit annoyed, didn't even smile, and asked: "Why are you here?"

"Today is my classmate's birthday. We are celebrating her birthday here," this boy didn't hide his liking for Lin Miaomiao, and then looked at Lu Yan He with a bit of resistance and vigilance, "Miaomiao, who is he?"

Lin Miaomiao: "None of your business."

"How is it none of my business? You are still a high school student, running out to eat with another boy. What if you are cheated by someone?" As this sentence was said, his eyes looking at Lu Yan He exposed hostility.

Lu Yan He looked at this person speechlessly. Because he didn't know him, he didn't speak.

Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes, "Chen Jingxuan, when did I need you to take care of me? And you are worried about whether I am cheated by someone. Why are you so self-indulgent?"

Chen Jingxuan, who was squeezed by Lin Miaomiao without politeness, showed embarrassment and awkwardness on his face. However, despite this, he had no dissatisfaction with Lin Miaomiao, but said seriously: "Isn't your identity easy to attract some male artists to show concern for you? Don't be easily cheated by them."

Lin Miaomiao: "If you talk nonsense again, don't talk to me in the future."

"Don't, don't, don't, then I won't say it," Chen Jingxuan hurriedly begged for mercy. "But I am serious, you must be careful yourself."

At this moment, Lu Yan He also had a sense of being humiliated for no reason. Mainly because when he said these things to Lin Miaomiao, he didn't avoid him at all, as if he was deliberately saying it to him, and even more, there was a sense of ignoring him as if he didn't exist.

Although Lu Yan He didn't know Chen Jingxuan's identity, after a look, he roughly guessed that he was probably a rich second-generation kid with a similar background to Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao suddenly said at this time: "Chen Jingxuan, I tell you seriously, he is Lu Yan He. My dad knows him and has chatted with him. Don't pretend to care about me here. I know you like me, but I don't like you, and I won't like you in the future."

Chen Jingxuan's face turned red instantly.

"Miaomiao—"

"Now, please leave. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Don't disturb me again," Lin Miaomiao said firmly.

Chen Jingxuan looked at Lin Miaomiao unwillingly, and then looked at Lu Yan He with hostility, finally turned and left.

Lin Miaomiao said to Lu Yan He: "Sorry, met a nasty ghost."

"He, likes you?"

"Yeah," Lin Miaomiao nodded. "He always says he likes me. I don't know if it's true or not, but he always looks like he cares about me, driving away all the boys who have approached me, very annoying."

Lu Yan He asked: "Is he your classmate?"

"No, just known each other since childhood," Lin Miaomiao said. "His dad knows my dad."

"Oh, family friends," Lu Yan He reacted.

"What family friends, just nodding acquaintances," Lin Miaomiao said. "This person is very petty. I didn't expect to meet him here today. Maybe I even harmed you. He might come to find trouble with you later."

"Huh?"

"Didn't I say it? All the boys who approach me, he will find ways to drive them away, coercion and inducement, all means have been used," Lin Miaomiao said. "In the past, I didn't want to be disturbed by those people, so I let him be. He even thought I was tacitly allowing him to do so."

Lu Yan He felt his head big when he heard it.

"Your childhood sweethearts' opening method is not quite the same."

"Childhood sweethearts?" Lin Miaomiao showed a speechless expression, "Don't use these words randomly, okay? It's annoying." ===== CHAPTER 223 =====
