Chapter 261: Sharing (Another 10,000-character update!)

~33 min read 6,525 words

"The Golden Age" itself is a highly anticipated television series.

With a renowned director, starring popular first-tier actors Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kai, it is full of buzz. One of the actors, who only received attention for his college entrance exam scores when he first joined the cast, has now, after months of being bombarded by trending searches, become Lu Yan He, an actor whose popularity and attention have reached the first tier.

When the collective stills were released, the heat was predictable.

The individual stills of Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kai were both pushed to the trending list by their respective fanbases.

This drama also occupied one spot.

Lu Yan He's stills were initially only of interest to his own fans, but later, several film and television bloggers reposted them, expressing their surprise at the texture displayed in the photo. Lu Yan He's "clear and bright" eyes became a focus of everyone's attention.

Chen Shu, a special guest critic for the "Tomorrow Daily," said: "I always thought Lu Yan He was just an idol, but judging from this still, his eyes can hold things. This is a very important standard for whether an actor can act. This makes me start to look forward to his performance in 'The Golden Age'."

The editor of "Orange Entertainment," Bell the Riddler, posted: "When 'The Golden Age' cast Lu Yan He in a role, I was depressed. Since it's a serious drama, why cast an idol artist like Lu Yan He? Just because he could get into Zhenhua with his college entrance exam scores doesn't mean he can act well. But the feeling presented in this still really shocked me. No tears, no explosive scenes, just the moment he pushed the door open and walked in, Lu Yan He's 'clear and bright' eyes (many people online describe it this way, and I think it's accurate) gave me a shock. It was like returning to school, and when you're in class, suddenly a boy like this pushes the classroom door open and walks in, and the whole class's gaze falls on him."

The media's praise for Lu Yan He's still exceeded the expectations of both Lu Yan He and Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yan He thought it was Chen Ziyan who pulled some strings, but Chen Ziyan said no, she just found some marketing studios she had good relations with to help him release some press releases and market some heat, that's all.

However, at this time, some untimely voices also emerged.

An editor from "White Bird Entertainment" mocked the voices praising Lu Yan He on their personal social media: "An idol artist with no works, now just because a still came out, they've marketed the heat of an acting genius. This is truly speechless. No matter how popular, it's only temporary. Doing so much marketing is not as good as settling down to act well. Otherwise, when the drama airs, your face will be slapped swollen."

The discussion on the internet derived from Lu Yan He's still exceeded everyone's expectations, including Jiang Yuqian, who privately asked He Heng if the company had bought marketing for Lu Yan He.

He Heng had already communicated with Chen Ziyan about this matter. She smiled and shook her head, saying, no, it was almost all natural heat. The media's attention to Lu Yan He was very high, and it was all spontaneous.

Jiang Yuqian was very surprised and said: "If just one still can stir up such high discussion, then when the drama officially airs, wouldn't it be incredible?"

He Heng said: "I estimate that Huang Kai's side is already somewhat dissatisfied."

Huang Kai is the male lead of this drama. Now that Lu Yan He's momentum and heat are so great, Huang Kai's team will definitely feel threatened.

Jiang Yuqian said: "Huang Kai and Lu Yan He had a pretty good relationship while filming, so he shouldn't be petty over such a small matter. He doesn't need to, either. He's already at this position. Even if Lu Yan He becomes popular through this drama, it won't affect his status."

"He might not be petty, but his team might not be," He Heng said. "Just like the drama you star in, if there's a supporting actress who is more explosive than you, I would definitely want to prevent her from exploding. She can explode in other dramas, but not in yours. Otherwise, it's stepping on you to get ahead. Even if it's said to be unrelated, in the eyes of others, it's the second female lead exploding, while you, the female lead, are stepped underfoot. The impression on the industry will be poor."

Jiang Yuqian put herself in that position and thought about it, then nodded. It was indeed so.

If she were in Huang Kai's position, no matter how good the relationship was, she would feel somewhat uncomfortable inside.

The entertainment industry is like this. Unless you truly reach a point where you don't need any external things to prove and solidify your status, competitive relationships will never disappear.

He Heng could think of this problem, and Chen Ziyan could certainly think of it too.

Chen Ziyan contacted Huang Kai's agent, Lian Xun, at the first opportunity and invited him to dinner.

"Little Lu and I are definitely not the type of people who would step on others to get ahead, please rest assured," Chen Ziyan said sincerely while clinking glasses with Lian Xun. "This is Little Lu's first drama. Acting is a matter within the drama, and being a person is a matter outside the drama. His road ahead is very long. Not to mention anything else, I definitely won't do things that are greedy for immediate benefits."

Lian Xun had more or less guessed Chen Ziyan's intention before coming to dinner today. However, he did not expect Chen Ziyan to use such a sincere attitude to say these things.

Lian Xun nodded and said: "Little Lu is such an excellent artist, popularity is only a matter of time. Kai also said that his performance in 'The Golden Age' is very outstanding, and it is normal for him to be liked by everyone. Ziyan, you took the initiative to tell me this today, which makes me feel very comfortable. In recent years, the competition between artists has become increasingly white-hot, especially for us agents. You must be able to understand. The things we have to deal with every day can be described in one sentence as a mess, but we have to make this mess run normally every day. Many times, we can't stand still and must take the initiative to attack or counterattack. But you were able to communicate this matter to me so actively and kindly today, which I did not expect, but it also gave me great inspiration, I'm serious."

Chen Ziyan laughed, the curve of her mouth having a kind of just-right gentleness.

"Others say I'm a bit old-fashioned, but I always feel that since we are all in the same circle, there's no need to treat everyone as an enemy. The market is huge, and the cake is also huge. It's normal to have a competitive relationship for a while, but isn't there a saying? Your competitors are often potential friends who appreciate you. Huang Kai's current status is not something Little Lu can shake within two or three years. In fact, when Little Lu reaches Huang Kai's level one day, it doesn't mean that the two of them have to be enemies," Chen Ziyan said. "So, I am the type of person who wants to nip misunderstandings in the cradle as early as possible."

Lian Xun nodded.

Chen Ziyan asked: "Kai has been in contact with serious dramas for the past two years. Is he preparing to transform?"

Lian Xun shook his head, "It can't be said that he is transforming. In the future, he definitely can't just become a serious drama actor. In such an internet era, if you want to be a pure serious drama actor, you basically lose the power to choose scripts. But if you want to go further from your current position, you can't achieve it without acting in serious dramas. He can't get any more popular. Prosperity leads to decline. He needs to hone his acting skills, and it's best to win one or two awards, so that he can go further."

Chen Ziyan nodded, "Kai has indeed reached a position now. In terms of fame and popularity, there are a few who are comparable to him, but there are almost none who have the confidence to say they are more popular than him."

Popularity or acting skills are always an actor's greatest confidence, but in terms of status, what allows an actor to stand tall is awards, because these are objective things.

Chen Ziyan has also considered when Lu Yan He can win a trophy, but this is really difficult. He is only nineteen years old this year, at least ten years away from the golden age for male actors to win awards. For now, he can only become popular first, solidify the foundation of popularity, and then have more opportunities to choose in the future.

Just like Huang Kai and Jiang Yuqian now.

Lian Xun suddenly thought of something and said: "However, Ziyan, you came to find me today, and I suddenly remembered a script."

"Hmm?" Chen Ziyan looked at him suspiciously, "What script?"

"You must keep this script confidential. You can help Lu Yan He fight for it, but you must not let the news leak," Lian Xun said. "Actually, if it weren't for the fact that I think it's more certain to fight for it if I pull you in, I wouldn't tell you."

Chen Ziyan: "What script?"

"A script that Director Zhang Haizhou has been preparing for six or seven years. You must have heard of it, but he has already started secret casting. Do you know?" Lian Xun asked.

Chen Ziyan was stunned, "Ah?"

She had indeed heard of this news. If Luo Yuzhong is one of the top directors in the TV drama circle, then Zhang Haizhou is one of the top directors in the Chinese film circle.

How to describe Zhang Haizhou? Many directors are very famous and have high status, but they are bound by types like commercial films or art films. Their dramas are certainly something most actors want to be in no matter what, but for top actors, there is room for consideration and selection. For them, commercial film directors may lack depth and performance space, while art film directors may lack box office and audience.

And Zhang Haizhou is a famous director in the true sense. People don't use commercial films or art films to label their movies. Their film works have already transcended these constraints. In the film market, they are blockbusters where commercial value and artistic value go hand in hand.

It's just that Zhang Haizhou's filming speed is very slow. The last film released was six years ago.

Everyone knows that Zhang Haizhou has a film that has been in preparation for many years, and many people are staring at this piece of fat, wanting to take a bite. But after waiting for a long time, everyone forgot. In seven or eight years, almost no one remembers this piece of fat.

Chen Ziyan was a bit surprised to hear Lian Xun say this and asked: "Director Zhang's film has actually started looking for actors?"

"Yes, Kai also met with Director Zhang once, a month ago," Lian Xun said. "After that, there was no news. I originally thought Kai had already been eliminated, but later I found out that the reason Director Zhang delayed making any decision was because he required the cast to be decided together. He required that there must be sparks between the actors and that they must be able to match."

Chen Ziyan asked suspiciously: "Then what do you mean?"

"Director Zhang's film tells the story of a pair of brothers who turn against each other," Lian Xun said. "Director Zhang has not found a suitable actor to play the younger brother. He requires the actor to be under twenty-three years old. Within such a range, it is very difficult to find a male actor with good acting skills who meets his requirements. Although Lu Yan He doesn't have much acting experience, in Director Zhang's eyes, this may not be a shortcoming. I think you can try to contact him."

Chen Ziyan nodded and said: "Okay, your news is too precious, thank you."

When the third episode of "Young Days" aired, Zhou Ping'an also helped Yan Liang get a drama. Li Zhibai and Yan Liang spent most of their time in the crew.

In the program, the chemistry between the young people slowly made the audience like them, especially the games Lu Yan He proposed at the end, which made many people's eyes light up.

These games were first promoted in schools.

Especially "I Have, You Don't," which became the most popular game for new member gatherings.

This game allowed everyone to get to know and become familiar with each other quickly through the game, and it received a lot of praise.

Even Lu Yan He's comment section was flooded with many people asking how he thought of these games.

Lu Yan He thought to himself: I'm just a humble person, I just have the golden finger of a transmigrator?

He updated a status, saying: I heard that the two little games I thought of are very popular now. Should I register the copyright and collect copyright fees later?

It was originally a joke, but someone replied: Are you crazy about wanting to make money?

Lu Yan He had to reply: Just a joke, but, who isn't crazy about wanting to make money?

Five hours later, "Who isn't crazy about wanting to make money" hit the trending list.

A large number of netizens claimed to be "corporate slaves" and liked Lu Yan He's sentence with an attitude of absolute agreement.

Someone even said: Why can't you register the copyright and make money from a game you thought of yourself? We are crazy about wanting to make money, did we offend you?

Someone said: People who have never been poor don't understand our feeling of being crazy about wanting to make money. Lu Yan He is young, nineteen years old, but he understands me. I finally found a star in this arrogant entertainment industry who understands me.

All of them were high-praise comments.

Chen Shiqiu even smiled and asked him: "How did you hit the psychology of so many workers in one sentence?"

Lu Yan He came to Chen Shiqiu to go through the leave procedures. When he arrived at Chen Shiqiu's office, Chen Shiqiu smiled and asked him this.

At this time, Lu Yan He was still hanging on the trending list, being "guarded" by many workers. It was also very magical. Lu Yan He's attitude of frankly saying "who isn't crazy about wanting to make money" actually gained public support in the current public opinion environment of "hating stars for making too much money."

Lu Yan He waved his hand and said: "I just said what was in my heart."

Chen Shiqiu smiled and asked: "What are you looking for me for?"

"I want to ask you for a leave note," Lu Yan He said. "I just received a notice saying that all students in the academy have to take a college student psychology class this Saturday. I have already arranged work for Saturday."

Chen Shiqiu nodded upon hearing this, took out a leave note from the drawer, and wrote one for him.

"Your week?"

"Yes, it's already recorded. I have to go record 'City Travel Notes' this Saturday."

"Oh, that city documentary, I've seen it," Chen Shiqiu nodded. "The sharing activity you have at the Youth Association tonight starts at seven, right?"

"Yes."

"I'll go take a look too," Chen Shiqiu said with a smile.

"Well, at least one person will attend, I'll feel more at ease," Lu Yan He laughed. "I'm very worried that no one will come."

Chen Shiqiu: "How could that be? Your popularity in school is very high, and many students regard you as an idol."

"Really?"

"Although they are all the most excellent students selected from various places, even if you put aside your grades and your status as an artist, whether it is making the book 'Jump Up' or recording a documentary with humanistic themes like 'City Travel Notes,' these are things many people dare not do. It is not difficult to understand why everyone admires you. Don't be too humble."

Chen Shiqiu is a counselor. If he says such things, it means that there are really some students in the school who admire Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He was surprised.

Chen Shiqiu: "In your grade, you are the most famous. Don't feel that you can't show off this fame in this school just because you are an artist. You can get in here with your own ability under the fame, this is your ability."

A gentle smile appeared on Chen Shiqiu's face, and his eyes were full of encouragement. At this moment, Lu Yan He suddenly felt that he seemed to be able to see through his psychology.

Chen Ziyan finished recording an OST for a film and television drama with Tu Song, "Where are you going back to?"

Tu Song said: "I'll go back to the dormitory."

Chen Ziyan nodded and said: "Then I'm not on the same way as you, you call a car back yourself."

Tu Song nodded and asked: "Sister Ziyan, where are you going? Do you want to have dinner together?"

"I have an appointment for dinner tonight, next time," Chen Ziyan said, and then exhorted, "Although you are not an actor and don't rely on your face to eat, I see that you have gained some weight recently. You still have to restrain yourself. Image is still very important for artists. You are young, I don't want you to start taking the route of a powerful singer now."

Tu Song's face turned red instantly.

"I'll control it."

Tu Song hasn't been able to control his mouth much recently. He knows it himself, always feeling guilty while unable to resist eating late-night snacks.

Chen Ziyan drove to a restaurant near Zhenhua, found a place to park, and walked over. As soon as she entered the door, Chen Shiqiu raised his hand and waved at her.

"Sorry, the road is a bit congested, kept you waiting."

Chen Shiqiu: "It's okay, I just arrived too. Sister Ziyan, you came here suddenly today, is it for Lu Yan He's activity tonight?"

"Yes, come and see," Chen Ziyan nodded. "He has been receiving more attention recently, and the topic is very high. I'm afraid there will be some uncontrollable situations at the scene."

Chen Shiqiu said: "It shouldn't be. They are all teachers and students of Zhenhua. No outsiders are allowed in. You have to sign up and make an appointment to participate in the activity. If you want to enter, you need faculty members like me to help you make an appointment."

Chen Ziyan: "Better safe than sorry, it's best if nothing happens."

Chen Shiqiu handed the menu to Chen Ziyan.

When Chen Ziyan was ordering, a girl suddenly came over and called Chen Laoshi.

"Miao Yue, are you here to eat alone?" Chen Shiqiu saw that there was no one else around Miao Yue, "Do you want to join us?"

"Ah, no, I have an appointment," Miao Yue explained immediately. "He hasn't arrived yet."

Not long after, Chen Shiqiu saw a man with a pretty good image sit down at Miao Yue's table.

Chen Shiqiu's eyes narrowed instantly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Chen Shiqiu said: "My student, the person eating with her, doesn't look like a student."

Chen Ziyan looked over in the direction of Chen Shiqiu's gaze.

"Well, it should be a social person, no student spirit. However, do you have to manage who your student eats with?"

"No way, being a counselor is like this, always worrying about your students," Chen Shiqiu said.

Chen Ziyan said: "Maybe they are just in love."

"Then we need to pay more attention," Chen Shiqiu said. "Falling in love is the easiest thing to go wrong. You may be cheated, or you may quarrel with others, and your emotions will collapse."

Chen Ziyan couldn't help but show a crying and laughing expression.

"You are not old, why are you suddenly caring about your students like an old mother?" Chen Ziyan said. "This is too inconsistent with your image."

Chen Shiqiu raised his hands in surrender and said: "Okay, I won't say it."

Chen Ziyan smiled and shook her head, saying: "However, it is very reassuring that you can care about your students so much."

"Weren't you worried about Lu Yan He before? To be honest, in this society, the dangers boys encounter are not even one-tenth of those girls encounter."

"I'm not talking about this kind of real-world danger, but pressure, mental pressure," Chen Ziyan sighed softly. "What I worry about most is not anything else, but his mental pressure. You are a counselor, you know best how fragile children of this age are. They look normal, and there is no problem, but they may have collapsed inside long ago, not to mention that he is under great attention and has to face all kinds of voices every day. Even if there are a hundred voices praising him, the one that matters most is the critical one. People are like this."

Chen Shiqiu understood what Chen Ziyan meant.

Lu Yan He looks like everything is fine now, his career is good, his studies are good, his life is good, all showing a goodness far beyond his peers, but the perfection of the appearance does not mean that the inside is also orderly.

Chen Shiqiu felt that he could understand Chen Ziyan's worry about Lu Yan He's mental state.

"But according to my observation of him, he is actually quite capable of self-regulation," Chen Shiqiu said. "He is not quite the same as the kind of artist I thought. I originally thought it would be quite difficult for him to integrate among classmates, but his performance completely exceeded my imagination. This is not just as simple as him not treating himself as an artist. Well, let's put it this way, this has nothing to do with his own ideas. The key is how others view him. But it's magical. Everyone knows he is an artist, but they quickly accepted his existence in their school life. I think this is the amazing thing about Lu Yan He. I don't even know how he did it. It may not be easy for a person to change his own ideas, but it must be even harder to change the ideas of people around him."

Chen Ziyan: "This child, from the time I met him, he gave me a very magical sense of contradiction. On the one hand, he is rational and mature, unlike a teenager of eighteen or nineteen. On the other hand, he is still innocent, simple, and idealistic. Perhaps it is because of this that he can do things that we all think are difficult to do."

"His classmates like him and believe in him."

"I have already learned this point," Chen Ziyan nodded and said. "When you arranged him in a mixed dormitory, it was a mistake that helped us a lot."

Chen Shiqiu was a little surprised and asked: "Why do you say that?"

Chen Ziyan shook her head, "It's not convenient to say the specific reason. In short, thank you."

Before the sharing activity officially started, Lu Yan He was pulled by Wang Xiao, the vice president of the Youth Association, to have dinner together.

Lu Yan He ate a bowl of beef ramen.

Wang Xiao looked helpless and said: "I originally wanted to invite you to eat something good, but you only ate beef ramen."

"Because of the needs of filming later, I have to control my weight," Lu Yan He said. "My exercise volume is not large, just running in the morning every day. If I eat too much, I will gain weight."

Wang Xiao said: "I thought you had a private trainer."

"Too expensive," Lu Yan He said. "I'm very poor."

Wang Xiao looked at him sideways and said: "Forget it, I don't know about other things, but the sales of 'Jump Up' are so high now, and it's even on the news. You must have earned at least a million, right?"

"How is that possible!" Lu Yan He shook his head and denied it immediately, "Although the sales are very high, the money earned is not just for me alone."

"Anyway, don't cry poor. I know you definitely don't lack money now."

"Have you ever seen an artist who doesn't lack money and hasn't found an assistant yet?" Lu Yan He asked.

Wang Xiao said: "Maybe that's just because you don't need an assistant now. After all, you spend most of your time at school. I see you are basically at school."

"I have classes every day. If I'm not at school, where can I stay?"

"You are really exaggerated, okay? Among the top 20 students who entered and left the library the most times released by the library last week, you actually ranked 19th."

"It's just the number of times I entered and left, not the time I stayed," Lu Yan He said. "Basically, every time I have a class, I have to go to the library once to borrow the books mentioned in the class that I haven't read. Of course, the number of times I enter and leave is high."

Wang Xiao was shocked and said: "If you want to say this, it shocks me even more. You borrow so many books, can you finish reading them?"

"There is no way to read them all from beginning to end, but at least I can know what each book is talking about and read the key parts mentioned by the teacher," Lu Yan He said. "Otherwise, what should I do? I can't understand what the teacher is talking about at all."

"I don't believe everyone has read these books," Wang Xiao shook his head and sighed. "You just have too high requirements for yourself. If you do this, I even think you are going to take the academic route."

Lu Yan He: "Although I won't take the academic route, I don't want to be a student who looks like he understands. If I pretend to understand, how boring is this class?"

"Your teacher should like students like you the most, right?"

"Not really, they all know that I definitely won't do academics in the future, so they don't like me much," Lu Yan He said the truth.

Wang Xiao: "Teachers don't just like students who will do academics in the future."

"But they must be most willing to teach such students," Lu Yan He asked. "Senior, what about you? Will you do academics in the future?"

"I'm not considering these now," Wang Xiao shook his head. "I'm only a sophomore. Anyway, it's fine if the grades are not bad. I have a qualification for postgraduate recommendation. Whether I want to take the academic route, I'll talk about it after I finish my postgraduate studies."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"Does doing the Youth Association take up a lot of your time?" Lu Yan He asked.

Wang Xiao nodded, "It does take up time, but because it's something I'm willing to do, it doesn't matter if it takes time. You only feel that it takes up your time because you do things you don't like."

"Well, that's true."

Wang Xiao's phone rang suddenly.

He picked it up and took a look, and said "Heh."

"What's wrong?"

"The staff at the scene sent a message in the group, saying that the seats at the scene, except for the reserved ones, are already full, and they are trying to find folding chairs from the side," Wang Xiao smiled brightly at Lu Yan He and said: "You are very popular."

Lu Yan He showed an unbelievable expression.

Wang Xiao: "Seriously, how have you considered joining the Youth Association? Today is a good time to announce this."

Lu Yan He sighed and said: "Senior, are you really sure that after I join the association, it doesn't matter if I don't participate in the association's activities?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you definitely won't want the various honors and positions of the association," Wang Xiao said. "You are just an honorary member, so don't hesitate anymore, just agree. Do you want me to keep pestering you until you graduate from college?"

Lu Yan He, who had been pestered by Wang Xiao for two months, did not doubt the truth of Wang Xiao's words at all.

"Okay then."

"Great!" Wang Xiao nodded happily, "Finally nodded, no going back, okay? I don't accept any going back here."

Lu Yan He was crying and laughing.

Wang Xiao even prepared a lounge for Lu Yan He in a serious manner.

"All guests who come to us for activities will have a lounge. How can we not prepare one just because you are a student of our own school?" Wang Xiao said firmly. "There are still fifteen minutes left, you rest for a while, someone will come to invite you to the stage later, I won't be there, I am the host, I have to host for you."

Lu Yan He nodded and took a deep breath, "So nervous."

"You have seen so many big scenes, why are you nervous at this time?" Wang Xiao patted Lu Yan He on the shoulder, "You can do it."

After speaking, Wang Xiao left first.

Lu Yan He took another deep breath.

Chen Ziyan and Chen Shiqiu entered the venue together.

Chen Ziyan was shocked by the scene in front of her.

"So many people?"

"This venue can seat 300 people, it looks like it's full."

"But isn't it by appointment? Why are there still so many people without seats?" Chen Ziyan asked Chen Shiqiu.

At the back of the venue, many people were standing.

Chen Shiqiu said: "It is estimated that some faculty members who said hello were let in, so the number of people exceeded the appointment in the end."

Chen Ziyan and Chen Shiqiu both have reserved seats in the first row.

As Lu Yan He's agent and counselor, they still have this treatment.

Chen Shiqiu saw that several academy leaders had already sat down, so he went over to say hello to them first.

Chen Ziyan also said hello to them.

When Chen Shiqiu was about to sit down, he glanced at the left side of the third row and saw that Miao Yue was actually sitting with the man she was eating with at the restaurant just now.

"Hmm?" Chen Ziyan also saw it along Chen Shiqiu's gaze.

"Should be in love," Chen Ziyan said. "Or in contact, it doesn't look particularly intimate, and I don't know if it's because it hasn't been made public, but that's not right. Since you can bring people here, it is destined to be seen by many teachers and students. Isn't this the rhythm of making it public?"

Chen Shiqiu frowned and said: "I have to ask her."

Chen Shiqiu took out his mobile phone.

Miao Yue saw the message sent by Chen Shiqiu and showed an awkward expression.

She replied immediately: Chen Laoshi, he is not my boyfriend. He is a producer who wants to buy the film copyright of a novel I published before. Because he also knows Lu Yan He, he heard that there was an activity tonight, so he asked me to help him make an appointment together.

After Miao Yue replied, she put down her phone and said to Liu Bige: "My counselor just misunderstood and asked if you were my boyfriend."

Liu Bige smiled in surprise and asked: "You are such a beautiful girl, don't you have a boyfriend?"

Miao Yue's face was suddenly very embarrassed, and she said: "I am single."

"Hmm?" Liu Bige looked at Miao Yue in surprise, "Oh, okay, I thought you must have a boyfriend."

Miao Yue: "I just started college."

"What's wrong with that?" Liu Bige said. "Don't many of you start dating in junior high school now?"

"I'm not," Miao Yue said. "My mother doesn't allow me to date before college."

"Oh, okay, then you can start dating now, right?" Liu Bige said.

Miao Yue looked at him suspiciously and asked: "Why do you care so much about me dating?"

Liu Bige opened his mouth, seemingly unable to find a suitable excuse, so he said again: "I'll shut up."

Miao Yue: "..."

She glanced at Liu Bige.

To be honest, although Liu Bige said he was already thirty-two years old, he looked only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, like a young man who had just started working. There was no particularly mature temperament on him, but rather some cynicism and some uninhibitedness.

He was not the kind of look that made her feel very handsome at first glance, but in all fairness, he was fresh and clean. Although he talked a lot, he didn't make her hate him. Moreover, when he talked eloquently, there was a kind of high-spirited and unconstrained feeling.

Miao Yue sighed in her heart.

If he was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, that would be great. In that case, the age gap would not be so big.

When Lu Yan He took the stage, the applause from the audience was still quite loud.

He bowed to everyone and sat down on the single sofa placed facing the auditorium.

Wang Xiao sat on another sofa.

A small coffee table was placed between them with water on it.

The sharing content Lu Yan He prepared was actually the process of him and Chen Siqi hitting it off in the summer to decide to make a magazine and then how to make this book all the way.

He emphasized that he was actually very lucky several times because he received help from many people.

There was no camera recording at the scene, and no live broadcast—although several platforms had come to talk to Wang Xiao about this matter, including school media, Wang Xiao refused.

Lu Yan He could also share relatively relaxedly without worrying about saying the wrong thing and being maliciously magnified by others.

After the on-site sharing, Wang Xiao asked a few questions.

"These questions were collected on campus in advance, and they are the ones that everyone mentioned more," Wang Xiao said. "Don't worry, I won't follow up, you just answer according to the parts you want to answer. We are not paparazzi, we won't chase you relentlessly."

Lu Yan He hadn't laughed yet, but the audience below had already laughed first.

Lu Yan He said thank you.

Wang Xiao: "The first question, your identity is an artist. Is the reason why you decided to make a book like 'Jump Up' really entirely because you want to realize your previous dreams?"

After Wang Xiao finished reading the question, he added immediately: "Actually, I am also a bit curious. After all, to be honest, each of us has too many dreams when we were young. It is impossible to pick them all out and realize them. You must also have many dreams you want to realize. Why did you choose this one?"

Lu Yan He pondered for a moment and said: "Another reason is that it is rare to have dreams that you can do with friends. If it were a dream I wanted to do alone, I might give up after waking up from a sleep. Because there are friends together, this feeling of being able to realize dreams and work hard and do things with friends is very wonderful for me."

Wang Xiao coughed lightly, "So the friend you are talking about is Chen Siqi who served as the editor-in-chief with you? Your high school classmate?"

A sound of "Oh~" came from the audience.

Lu Yan He said helplessly: "You said you wouldn't follow up just now."

Wang Xiao: "Uh, okay, I slapped my face."

"It doesn't matter, I can answer. Chen Siqi is one of them. Actually, this book is not just the two of us doing it, including Li Pengfei, you can find his name in the book, he is my best friend in high school," Lu Yan He paused, "Including from the second issue, several of my high school classmates also joined the editorial team of this book, Linyu, Xu Zijun, Bai Yu. I think it is very lucky to have such a thing that allows us to stay together after graduating from high school."

Wang Xiao nodded and said: "Envious, why don't I have such high school classmates?"

"You can become such a classmate," Lu Yan He said immediately.

Wang Xiao: "Okay, then let me ask the second question. This question is about why you chose Zhenhua University instead of Yuming University. Hahaha, there shouldn't be any students from Yuming University here, right?"

"Yes!" Several people in the audience raised their hands.

Wang Xiao pretended to be shocked, "What? There are spies mixed in. Then Lu Yan He, you have to answer well, otherwise you will offend these students."

Lu Yan He lowered his head and smiled, explaining: "Actually, there is a very private reason. Everyone knows that I have a live broadcast room. When I first started live broadcasting, there were only a dozen viewers, but there was one named 'Beautiful Girl Lanlan' who kept paying attention to me and gave me a lot of guidance, how to learn history, how to memorize politics and geography, and many exam techniques. Later I found out that she is a student at Zhenhua and also my current senior. Maybe from that time on, I tended towards Zhenhua. This is a very private reason. If she were a senior at Yuming University, I might have gone to Yuming."

Wang Xiao widened his eyes in shock.

"No way? It's because of this?" Wang Xiao shook his head and sighed, "Thank you to this senior, otherwise we would have missed such an excellent classmate as you."

"I am not as excellent as you. After I enrolled, I was a little inferior. Everyone is so powerful, especially in class, everyone knows what the teacher is talking about, only I am often confused," Lu Yan He sighed, "I still have to work hard."

Wang Xiao: "Then my question is finished. Next, please ask questions. If you have any questions you want to ask, you can raise your hand to indicate. However, we are not allowed to ask some questions without nutrition like paparazzi. Lu Yan He is a classmate in our school, so we can't bury him."

There was a burst of laughter in the audience. ===== CHAPTER 262 =====
