Chapter 268: Broadcast (10,000-character update!)

~32 min read 6,281 words

Lu Yanhe had never filmed with Lang Xia, nor had he seen what he looked like when filming.

Before officially starting, Chen Lingling came over to explain the scene and how to film it.

The upcoming scene wasn't actually complicated; it was a transition scene where Wei Jiang, the guard played by Lu Yanhe, comes to find Lang Xia, who plays the Commandery Prince, to report some related matters.

Chen Lingling watched them rehearse the positioning and run through the lines once, only making one request: "Although it's a transition scene, you must be in the state of the characters."

So what exactly is the state of the characters?

Lu Yanhe had been studying the script and delving into the characters with He Shuyi these past few days, and had more or less felt several layers of Wei Jiang's character logic.

He had hatred in his heart; the reason he came to the Prince's residence was for revenge. This seed of hatred was deeply rooted in his heart, but after entering the Prince's residence, he was unexpectedly picked by the young Commandery Prince to become his personal guard. The young Commandery Prince was the son of his enemy, but he treated him sincerely and favorably without knowing the truth, which slowly formed conflict and struggle in Wei Jiang's heart.

This transition scene was Wei Jiang telling the Commandery Prince that one of his businesses had been framed by someone. The Commandery Prince had an emotional change, from surprise to anger, wanting to leave in a hurry, but Wei Jiang didn't have any changes from beginning to end—at least it wasn't reflected in the script.

However, after being seriously guided and trained by He Shuyi, Lu Yanhe had started learning to add to the script.

"A good script must leave space and blank space for the actors."

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, waiting for the official start.

"Little Prince." Lu Yanhe walked to the backyard, saw Lang Xia sitting under the corridor holding a book and reading, stood still two paces away, and called out.

Lu Yanhe took a step and walked forward.

The large number of ensemble scenes meant that transition scenes like this, as long as there were no major problems, were basically done in one take.

In the designated position, Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and started to find his state.

Chen Lingling walked past from behind the monitor and said to Lu Yanhe and Lang Xia, "You acted well, it can be seen that you both put in the effort, but there are still many flaws in many places. This isn't a movie, there's no way to grind it for you shot by shot. I'll tell you once how to film the subsequent scenes, you go and ponder it yourselves."

The guards had received professional martial arts training, giving them a steadier lower body when walking, making them look different from ordinary people.

Lang Xia walked forward aggressively.

Walking out of the courtyard, they heard Chen Lingling call "Cut."

The characters played by Lu Yanhe and Lang Xia in *Phoenix Terrace* were also a very important line, or rather, the only line in this grand power-struggle drama carried by young people, and the content in the early stages would be relatively more relaxed and emotional.

"Okay, understood, thank you, Director."

Chen Lingling finished speaking to the two of them and called "Pass."

"What?" Lang Xia's face changed, and he stood up immediately, his eyes becoming angry, "Wang Fuzheng, that dog, is he deliberately looking for trouble!"

Chen Lingling looked back at them and said, "The crew isn't just filming your two people's scenes, time is limited, there's no way to do it again."

Filming, if one could film a few more times, one could certainly strive for perfection.

Lu Yanhe nodded, moved aside, and let Lang Xia walk in front.

Lang Xia's face flushed, he lowered his head and said, "I will definitely improve."

This was a technical problem; because he had no experience, he thought he had acted out the layers, but in reality, from a technical level, his layers couldn't be captured.

Lu Yanhe didn't respond, maintaining a posture of waiting for Lang Xia's instructions.

When Huangcheng originally decided that Lu Yanhe and Lang Xia would play the roles, it was firstly because of the people behind the two, and secondly because both had decent acting skills and could carry the roles.

Before the official filming today, Huangcheng had already prepared for Chen Lingling to lose her temper—if the actors acted poorly, Chen Lingling would scold people directly on the set.

He had made some adjustments more or less.

People were coming and going around, and all departments were making final confirmations.

But he was still a bit worried; after all, before this, Lu Yanhe had only acted in one drama, a role that was in some sense closer to his true self, and Lang Xia's situation was about the same.

He specifically designed a walking posture for Wei Jiang—different from his usual posture.

"Director Chen," Lang Xia suddenly called out, looking hesitant, "What you just told me, I've already understood. Can we film another take?"

The whole scene immediately had movement again, and everyone started to get busy with their own things.

Lu Yanhe lowered his eyebrows slightly, his gaze also moved down from Lang Xia's face, and said, "Little Prince, don't tease me anymore. Wang Fuzheng brought people to cause trouble at Chunfeng Tower, injured two waiters, and now is still making a scene wanting them to pay compensation."

The pace was urgent, fast, but steady and powerful, not floating.

"Let's go, Wei Jiang, you come with me to take a look!" Lang Xia said to Lu Yanhe in a panic.

However, for a huge crew, time was the most precious.

Only then did Lu Yanhe look up again, looked at him, there was a moment of stagnation and complexity, and after a moment, he followed.

Only then did Lang Xia raise his head, revealing a pair of clear and flawless eyes, with a smile in his eyes, saying, "Wei Jiang, if you keep a cold face like this, you won't be able to get a wife in the future. I heard from the little maids in the residence that they don't dare to approach you, saying you are very fierce."

Silence, seriousness, no extra facial expressions, eyes like the rock fire created in the deep mountains, bright and cold, making people think of the pupils of a falcon.

Chen Lingling looked at Lu Yanhe again and said, "We are filming a TV series, not a movie. Just now there was no close-up shot to film your eye acting, so your acting was in vain. You must figure out what each of your scenes is filming, where the camera goes, and then adjust your performance details. Filming a movie, the director and photographer come to find you. Filming a drama, to be honest, the construction period is long, the filming volume is large, it's impossible to grind it shot by shot, and there isn't that much energy to catch your individual scenes. You have to design the scenes that fit the camera yourself."

Mo Lan also gave him some guidance. In the eyes of professionals, what features did he have that were obviously not those of a martial arts practitioner, and then he wrote them down in his script, constantly reminding himself.

Lu Yanhe also wanted to film another take to adjust.

He practiced his walking posture on the side.

Especially for a grand power-struggle drama like *Phoenix Terrace*, the number of actors involved was almost double that of *Golden Age* and more.

Until Chen Lingling called start.

Lu Yanhe didn't have that skill, he could only imitate his martial arts director Mo Lan.

"Lang Xia, your state and performance ability are very good, but you must have a process of reaction. It's not that the moment someone tells you something happened at your Chunfeng Tower, you explode the next second. Even a one-second reaction time would make your emotional switching more natural. You look like you are acting hard according to the script," Chen Lingling said directly to Lang Xia.

However, after Chen Lingling called cut, Huangcheng waited for several seconds without waiting for Chen Lingling's scolding, which stunned Huangcheng.

Lu Yanhe was enlightened by Chen Lingling's point.

Problems like those pointed out by Chen Lingling could actually be solved by post-editing. Chen Lingling pointed them out just to tell them how they could improve in their acting in the future, which was why she said these things.

Over the weekend, Chen Lingling mainly focused on filming Lu Yanhe's scenes, because Lu Yanhe still had to attend classes and take exams, unlike other actors who could stay in the crew all the time, which was agreed upon when the contract was signed.

Only after Lu Yanhe officially started his winter break could he stay in the crew permanently.

Lu Yanhe filmed until 9:30 in the evening in one breath.

Fortunately, he had read the entire script several times in advance and memorized all the lines. When he acted on set, after acting for a long time, he would actually get tired, and his concentration and performance state would decline. At this time, Chen Lingling always told him with her eyes "this take of yours is not good," sometimes she would reshoot, sometimes she wouldn't.

Lu Yanhe didn't know what Chen Lingling's standard for deciding to reshoot was.

In short, the filming of *Phoenix Terrace* was moving forward in an orderly manner.

But after a day, Lu Yanhe had a sense of harvest that was more useful than attending He Shuyi's class for a week.

It could only be said that 10,000 practice sessions were not as good as one real battle on the field.

Of course, without the 10,000 practice sessions before going on the field, the real battle on the field would just be a bluff.

Returned to the hotel, washed up, and went to sleep, and had to continue filming the next day.

Sunday was filmed even more exaggeratedly. Chen Lingling had to film other people's scenes in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe could only wait, and then, filmed until 1:00 in the morning before finishing work.

Lu Yanhe got into Zou Dong's car and rushed back to Yuming; he had classes the next day.

Lu Yanhe only filmed for two days and then left again, which made many people in *Phoenix Terrace* mutter.

After all, there were so many actors in the crew, who wasn't staying in the crew and waiting.

Even if Lu Yanhe had a legitimate reason.

Lang Xia was the most unhappy among them.

After joining the crew, sometimes he had two scenes a day, sometimes only one scene a day, and the rest of the time he was just waiting.

The worst thing was that he didn't know when this one scene would be filmed every day, and he had to wait for notification, which meant he couldn't do other things and could only wait.

Why could Lu Yanhe have his scenes filmed in a concentrated manner and then leave the crew?

In the crew, Lang Xia didn't know many people. Among the main actors, the young actors were actually only a few, and his opposing actors were mainly actors over forty. This also meant that after filming, he had very little interaction with them, and couldn't eat, drink, or chat with them.

They had their circle, and he wasn't included.

And there were quite a few young actors playing small supporting roles, but they generally had very few scenes, which meant their filming time was very scattered. After filming one or two scenes, if there were no arrangements for them recently, they would leave the crew and come back when they were needed.

Lang Xia was bored and depressed staying in the crew alone.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lang Xia suddenly saw Chen Wenwen passing by from the front holding a box.

Chen Wenwen turned to look at Lang Xia and then smiled.

"Assistant Liu asked me to take the paintings he needs to use in the afternoon over," Chen Wenwen said.

Lang Xia looked at Chen Wenwen's face and asked, "Do you want to have dinner together tonight? I guess I shouldn't have any scenes tonight. I'm so bored alone. If you have time, shall we go find a restaurant to eat together? How about it?"

Chen Wenwen looked at Lang Xia's handsome face, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded.

"Okay."

"Are we having dinner together tonight?"

When all four were in the dorm, Mao Jiayang suddenly asked.

Lu Yanhe moved his attention away from the book in front of him and said, "I can."

Mao Jiayang said, "Winter break is coming soon, before going home, let's have a dorm gathering."

Xiao Jing and Zhou Mukai also nodded.

Having lived together for a semester, they slowly got to know each other.

Speaking of which, Lu Yanhe actually had a better relationship with Mao Jiayang.

Zhou Mukai was mostly alone, or with his girlfriend, while Xiao Jing had a feeling of being detached from the dorm.

Probably because Mao Jiayang had helped Lu Yanhe discover the Trojan program in his laptop before, Lu Yanhe later specifically treated Mao Jiayang to a meal for this, and sometimes when his laptop had problems, he would also find Mao Jiayang to help him deal with it.

An artist's laptop contained a lot of personal information, and after the Trojan program problem, Lu Yanhe didn't dare to find someone outside to repair it.

Because of this reason, Lu Yanhe also chatted more with Mao Jiayang. Like when Mao Jiayang was scammed by a senior, Lu Yanhe couldn't help him with anything, but at least he could listen to him complain.

The restaurant was found by Mao Jiayang. This time, they finally left the vicinity of the school and went to a relatively far restaurant together.

"Always eating around the school, let's change places."

Restaurants near the school were always crowded, noisy, and hard to get a table.

"You're all going home for winter break, right?" Mao Jiayang asked, "When are you going back?"

Zhou Mukai said, "I'll be a bit late, Xiuxiu is doing tutoring, I'll accompany her for a bit."

Zhou Mukai's girlfriend was named Ning Xiu.

"Tsk tsk, you and your girlfriend are so clingy," Mao Jiayang said.

Xiao Jing said with a smile, "Isn't this naked jealousy?"

Mao Jiayang squinted at him, "Aren't you jealous too?"

Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "I've come to understand one thing now: before you become strong yourself, don't think about these love affairs."

"Yo? When did you have this realization?" Mao Jiayang asked.

A flash of disappointment flickered on Xiao Jing's face, but he didn't explain much, only saying, "I'll also go back a bit late. I found a part-time job here, have to work until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month."

"What part-time job?" Mao Jiayang asked.

"A tutoring job, and a waiter at a coffee shop," Xiao Jing said.

Lu Yanhe was a bit surprised to hear Xiao Jing say this.

"Why did you find so many part-time jobs?" Zhou Mukai asked curiously.

The reason for this question was because everyone could see that, judging by Xiao Jing's usual food and clothing expenses, he certainly wasn't from a poor family.

Xiao Jing said, "I want to go abroad to take a look next summer, so I have to save some money."

"Speaking of which, I also want to go abroad to take a look," Mao Jiayang thought seriously and said, "Going abroad, airfare and hotel combined is at least 30,000 to 40,000, how long would that take to save?"

Xiao Jing said, "Just try hard to save first. If I can't go next summer, then go the summer after, but I have to start saving money first."

Mao Jiayang nodded, and suddenly looked at Lu Yanhe with envy, asking, "You must go abroad often, right?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I haven't been abroad yet."

"Ah?" Mao Jiayang looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief, "Really? Shouldn't you have many opportunities to go abroad?"

"Not really," Lu Yanhe shook his head, "So far, I haven't taken on any work that requires going abroad, and I guess I won't take it either, I simply don't have the time."

Mao Jiayang clicked his tongue twice and said, "We have time but no money, you have money but no time."

Lu Yanhe asked with a smile, "I just started working earlier than you, maybe you'll all be richer than me in the future."

"That won't happen," Zhou Mukai shook his head, "Mao Jiayang and Xiao Jing might, but our major, it's hard to make big money."

Lu Yanhe asked, "What do you want to do in the future?"

Zhou Mukai pondered for a moment and said, "Haven't thought about it."

After all, they were only freshmen, it was normal not to have any ideas.

For university students, in fact, they rarely talk about this issue when they are freshmen. However, everyone basically has some ideas, or rather, some ideal professions, but they also know that their future choices might not be the same.

Mao Jiayang suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Yanhe, does your *City Travelogue* have plans to film in Dongbin?"

Lu Yanhe said, "I've already told the producers, but they might have cooperation and promotion plans with many places, so I haven't seen them make plans to go to Dongbin yet."

*City Travelogue* had filmed in five cities so far, with a total of nine episodes broadcast. As a documentary of this type, each episode had reached 3 million views, and its influence was growing.

Therefore, the cultural and tourism departments of various cities hoped to invite *City Travelogue* to film there, and even proposed various generous conditions.

*City Travelogue* was very clear: it would not do any soft advertisements for any city, nor would it accept any "production funds" provided by any city's cultural and tourism department. However, besides these things that were on the table and could be refused, there were many things hidden in human relationships that were difficult to refuse.

*City Travelogue* had contacted Lu Yanhe several times to set a time for the next recording, but because of Lu Yanhe filming *Phoenix Terrace* and his final exams, they hadn't been able to set a time.

Lu Yanhe said, "The next episode they are going to Hengshuo, because I really don't have time, they found another artist. This documentary might not use me as the main perspective to film in the future."

The artist found for the next episode of *City Travelogue* was Guan Zai'an, also a celebrity in the circle known for his intellectual image, who was a host.

Xin Zixing had specifically come to explain it to him at the time.

Actually, Lu Yanhe didn't feel angry about this, Xin Zixing was worried he would be angry—because the production team finally decided not to wait for Lu Yanhe anymore and had to continue filming.

*City Travelogue* couldn't stop updating for too long.

Lu Yanhe also understood, and he had never felt that this program was his program. Xin Zixing was the producer of this program and the soul who made this program work. Moreover, he really didn't have the time, and he couldn't let people wait forever. If this program didn't update for too long, the audience would have opinions.

On the 28th, the third-to-last exam ended.

Lu Yanhe packed his bag again and set off for the crew.

He had to film until the New Year's Day holiday ended before he could come back.

Wang Xiao was quite disappointed to hear this news.

Lu Yanhe wouldn't be able to attend the Youth Association's New Year's Eve party.

On the 28th, *Golden Age* suddenly announced that it would start broadcasting on TV and the internet from the 29th.

Lu Yanhe saw the news online.

The producer said in the main creative group that this was set so suddenly to grab the schedule.

Because of the TV and internet broadcast mode, the TV station's schedule needed to be grabbed.

Especially since *Golden Age* was on CCTV, the largest TV station in the country.

As soon as the news was announced, it hit the hot search.

Lu Yanhe also cooperated with the crew to forward this scheduling news.

The production side also edited a final trailer.

In this trailer, the shot of Lu Yanhe being stepped on under someone's feet was released, and its wretched, painful, and unbearable scene caused a lot of discussion.

Some media called it "Lu Yanhe's huge sacrifice in *Golden Age*."

Lu Yanhe saw such a description and was silent for a moment; it wasn't that exaggerated.

On the day *Golden Age* started broadcasting, Lu Yanhe was still a bit worried that he wouldn't make it to the premiere because he had to film.

Lu Yanhe only showed his face for ten minutes in the video connection promotional activity for the main creative staff before being called away by Chen Lingling.

There was really no way.

In the first two episodes of the premiere, Lu Yanhe appeared for about five minutes, all appearing in the female lead's flashback segments.

Director Luo Yuzhong didn't edit this drama in chronological order, but started with the female lead played by Jiang Yuqian graduating and entering the workplace, directly opening a workplace life like a sword fight. In moments when Jiang Yuqian was tired or some special moments, Lu Yanhe would appear in front of everyone in the form of flashbacks.

The director didn't even point out the news that Yao Yuan had passed away.

After the first two episodes were broadcast, many viewers were confused, curious if Lu Yanhe would appear in the subsequent plot as an ex-boyfriend.

Lu Yanhe, who appeared in the flashback segments, was filmed by Director Luo Yuzhong and instructor Liu Zeliang as handsome, gentle, and having a kind of steady tolerance.

It formed a sharp contrast with Huang Kairen's sharpness and elite posture.

Five minutes of plot, but Lu Yanhe became the actor with the highest discussion besides Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen.

On the 30th, Lu Yanhe found that the eyes of many people in the crew looking at him had changed.

Probably because they saw his performance in *Golden Age*.

The five minutes Lu Yanhe appeared received a lot of praise and positive reviews, all praising Lu Yanhe for being good-looking.

*TV Review* magazine used one sentence to describe this kind of good-looking: "It's been too long since I've seen this kind of clean and refreshing good-looking in a drama. Daring to appear without makeup to play a male god's white moonlight, Luo Yuzhong dares to film, Lu Yanhe dares to act, and the result is good enough. Major crews should come and learn well how to use an idol artist with little acting experience, and every idol artist should also learn well how to take on a work that suits them and is suitable as a starting point for an actor."

*TV Review* was an old-brand magazine established for nearly thirty years and was also the most influential magazine in the TV circle, one could even say there was no other. Such a magazine praising Lu Yanhe almost established the traditional media's supportive attitude toward Lu Yanhe.

In the subsequent third and fourth episodes, Lu Yanhe still only appeared in flashback segments, but this time it wasn't scattered images, but a complete scene, starting from a conversation between Lu Yanhe and Jiang Yuqian in the canteen.

Jiang Yuqian encountered a problem in the company; she found that a vice president of the company was secretly using power for personal gain and making private profits. When she was hesitating about what to do, she recalled this conversation.

Guan Zhu, who was still in university at the time, discovered that a vice dean of the academy was accepting bribes, causing one of her roommates' awards to become someone else's. Jiang Yuqian was angry and wanted to report it.

Yao Yuan, played by Lu Yanhe, had a dispute with Jiang Yuqian in the canteen about this matter.

"If you report it directly, will it affect you?" Yao Yuan's first reaction was to worry about Guan Zhu being affected.

Guan Zhu looked unhappy and said, "Forget it."

"Don't be impulsive," Yao Yuan said immediately.

Guan Zhu looked at Yao Yuan in disbelief and asked, "You actually don't support me?"

Yao Yuan shook his head with a steady and calm look. At this moment, his eyes radiated an emotion that comforted people, "I absolutely support you, I just think that sometimes we don't have to go head-to-head. If we can choose to do things under the premise of protecting ourselves, don't go to mutual destruction."

Guan Zhu lowered her head in frustration and said, "But if I don't report it, what else can I do?"

"Do you have evidence?" Lu Yanhe asked.

"What?"

"You said he accepted bribes, so do you have evidence of him accepting bribes?" Yao Yuan asked.

Guan Zhu nodded and said, "It can't be considered evidence, it's just that when I was in the restroom, I happened to hear the person who stole my roommate's award talking on the phone with her family, and I secretly recorded it with my phone."

Yao Yuan showed a look of realization and said, "Then this is not direct evidence yet. If you report him, he can say that the girl is lying, or he can say that the girl misunderstood herself."

Guan Zhu immediately frowned, "Then what should I do?"

Yao Yuan pondered for a moment, his eyes brightened slightly, he smiled, and said, "I have a way."

He took Guan Zhu to copy the recorded sound, printed a text version, and together with the tape, put it into an envelope and mailed it to the dean, and wrote clearly: If this matter is not resolved within a week, then this recording will appear in the principal's mailbox and every student's mailbox at the same time.

After mailing it, Guan Zhu asked, "Will this work?"

"If the dean can't do it, then do you think your reporting is useful?" Yao Yuan said, "This is the best way we can solve this matter among the things we can do."

Guan Zhu: "These people are really annoying, it's not their own things, but they want to destroy other people's hard-earned results and take them as their own."

Yao Yuan looked at her and smiled brightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Guan Zhu frowned and stared at him.

He reached out and pinched Jiang Yuqian's face, saying, "I'm laughing, fortunately there is still a justice seeker like you in this world, summoning me, this knight, to slay the evil dragon."

This scene was about fifteen minutes long and was the first time Lu Yanhe had a complete scene appearing in the drama.

On the night of the broadcast, the character name of Lu Yanhe appeared on the hot search for the first time.

*Media Person* magazine evaluated this scene of Lu Yanhe as "an expression of lifting weight as if it were light. Lu Yanhe's acting skills absolutely cannot be called rounded and mature, but he complements the character of Yao Yuan, making such a character who is too perfect to be real have a sense of reality. Not a single flaw can be picked out. *TV Review* is very right, when acting skills are not mature enough, you have to choose a role that suits you better. Lu Yanhe has not received acting training, but his performance doesn't even show the trace of acting, which is something many professional college actors who have just graduated cannot do."

One media after another praising Lu Yanhe made Chen Ziyan stunned.

What is going on?

Because Lu Yanhe's highlight scenes hadn't come yet, the promotional announcements and hot searches Chen Ziyan arranged for Lu Yanhe hadn't started yet, so how did they all start praising him?

Chen Ziyan had to ask her friends in the circle, is Lu Yanhe's acting really that good?

She suspected that she didn't know enough about acting and couldn't see how good this scene of Lu Yanhe was.

But before her friend replied, Shang Yongzhou sent her a message: Little Lu is a good seedling who can act, your eye for talent is as poisonous as ever.

Chen Ziyan had to ask: He is indeed very good, but you guys are praising him too exaggeratedly, right? It's just started broadcasting, and you're praising him like this.

Shang Yongzhou said: You know, as an actor, where is the place that makes me jealous the moment he appears?

Chen Ziyan said: I don't know, you are already a peak actor.

Shang Yongzhou: First, let me say I'm not, then let me say the place I'm jealous of. He acts with a special state. If I hadn't met Little Lu, I wouldn't have this feeling. Do you think Lu Yanhe usually has this temperament and feeling in the drama? This gentle, firm, slightly sunny image.

Chen Ziyan thought seriously: No.

Shang Yongzhou: Many of us actors act, actually most of the time we exert force at the climax, but Little Lu can be in the state of the character at every moment, as if he doesn't need to exert force at all, naturally having the ability to enter the state.

Chen Ziyan suddenly understood what Shang Yongzhou meant.

Many actors use details of acting like micro-expressions, movements, tone of voice, etc., to shape a character completely opposite to themselves, but Lu Yanhe directly changed his cognition of himself from the depths of his heart, as if he had switched a personality.

In reality, Lu Yanhe is nowhere near as gentle, warm, and sunny as in the drama.

Chen Ziyan thought: A person who looks very positive, but is actually very twisted.

When *Golden Age* was broadcast to the scene where Lu Yanhe and Jiang Yuqian were walking on the deserted road on campus, *Golden Age* had already broadcast one-third, firmly becoming a big hit drama, ranking at the top of various rankings.

Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen were often on the hot search, Lu Yanhe was relatively less.

Until the scene where they talked about future dreams and confirmed each other's feelings was broadcast.

He Lan screamed in the dorm.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Mingyue asked in shock.

He Lan's cheeks were rosy, she covered her face and said, "I'm watching *Golden Age*, Lu Yanhe's eyes made me completely fall."

Jiang Linxian heard He Lan's words and silently muttered "fanatic" in her heart.

*Golden Age* had been very popular during this period, and many people were chasing it, but Jiang Linxian didn't watch it; she was busy with internships and had no time to watch dramas at all.

Xu Mingyue also had no time to chase dramas, and so far had only seen the sixth episode.

"Is it good later? I haven't watched it for a long time, I've been too busy recently." Because the production of *Jump Up* was almost entirely handled by her alone on behalf of Jiang Yin Publishing House, and she had other things on her hands, she had all kinds of things every time she opened her eyes.

"Good!" He Lan said, "Especially what was broadcast tonight, I admit, before I was really just chasing it because I liked Lu Yanhe's face, but his acting tonight was too good! Too good, the eyes of him and Jiang Yuqian could be pulled into silk, when can I have such a senior?"

"You still have half a year, in another half year, you will be a senior in your fourth year, there is no senior in a higher grade than you, senior." Jiang Linxian mocked.

"Then I can still meet a graduate senior," He Lan said immediately.

Jiang Linxian curled her lips and didn't say anything more.

Xu Mingyue glanced at Jiang Linxian and also curled her lips.

It had been three years, and Jiang Linxian still had this temper, not changed at all.

However, now Xu Mingyue was more tolerant of others than before.

As long as it didn't really touch her interests, let her be mean.

"Lanlan, are you still doing translation?"

"I am, why?"

"I'm thinking, if you're not busy, do you want to come and help me do a self-media account together," Xu Mingyue said.

"Self-media account?" He Lan was a bit surprised.

"Yeah," Xu Mingyue nodded, "After *Jump Up* was made, they even specifically made a self-media account to post some content not suitable for the magazine, and now the followers are getting more and more. I'm quite inspired, more and more people are managing their own personal social media accounts, but I don't really want to post my private information online, so I thought I could also do a self-media account."

He Lan heard this and said, "Okay, I can do it with you, but what are we doing?"

Xu Mingyue said, "Let's try doing it first, what to do, I don't know either."

Jiang Linxian heard the two of them say this and smiled with contempt again.

What were they thinking, thinking that they could succeed by making a self-media account?

*Jump Up* could reach its current state because it had a magazine with high sales, and the magazine had high sales because it had a popular artist as editor-in-chief and was frequently on the hot search.

Where did they get the confidence to think they could do it?

Waste of time.

Xu Mingyue certainly didn't know what Jiang Linxian was thinking, and she wouldn't care what Jiang Linxian was thinking.

When you have something you really want to do, you won't care about other people's opinions.

When exam week finally ended, Lu Yanhe could finally throw himself into the filming of *Phoenix Terrace* wholeheartedly.

Winter break was about fifty days long, and Lu Yanhe had to film until the winter break was almost over before his scenes would wrap up.

*Golden Age* became the most popular TV series at the beginning of the year, with its ratings breaking 2 on CCTV, and its online broadcast data also broke 2 billion in mid-January, becoming the first drama to break 2 billion views during the broadcast period after dehydration.

Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen both received a lot of praise and took the first step in their transformation.

Lu Yanhe even completed his screen debut, almost receiving affirmation and praise from all media—although some harsh film critics were picking on Lu Yanhe's performance, it didn't affect the overall trend.

Everyone had formed a consensus: Lu Yanhe had acting talent, he could be an actor.

Moreover, many people predicted that Lu Yanhe might be able to get a nomination for Best Supporting Actor with this role.

Chen Ziyan heard this statement, and related thoughts began to stir.

If Lu Yanhe could get a nomination for an authoritative award in his first drama, it would definitely be a huge addition for Lu Yanhe.

As a newcomer, and a newcomer whose popularity and heat were far higher than the thickness of his own work, a heavyweight award, even a nomination, was a kind of recognition, which could brush a layer of gold on Lu Yanhe.

Chen Ziyan brought a lot of food and drink to the crew to see how Lu Yanhe was doing in the crew.

Unexpectedly, she ran into He Yingzi, who had also come to see Lang Xia.

He Yingzi had been somewhat affected by Lu Yanhe's performance in *Golden Age* these past few days.

She never expected that Lu Yanhe could act so well, even more talented than Lang Xia.

Originally, He Yingzi already felt that Lang Xia's acting talent was really good, but this comparison made He Yingzi feel unwilling.

So, when she saw the radiant Chen Ziyan, she was even more depressed.

"Ziyan, you've been in a good mood lately," He Yingzi said, no matter how depressed she was in her heart, she maintained her composure on the surface, "Little Lu's performance in *Golden Age* has been highly praised, and they say you have a sharp eye for talent, picking a future best actor."

Chen Ziyan smiled and said, "It's all thanks to friends' praise, Little Lu himself is also working hard."

He Yingzi took a deep breath and said, "It's just a pity, if *Golden Age* had been broadcast a bit earlier, Little Lu wouldn't have to come to *Phoenix Terrace* to play a supporting role for his second drama. Wouldn't he be able to play the lead role?"

"How can you say that? Lead role or supporting role, Little Lu can certainly play both. It's mainly because he came for Director Chen Lingling. Following Director Chen to film, he can learn things, so even if it's a supporting role, he has to act," Chen Ziyan said, not leaving He Yingzi any room, "Could it be that you mean that after Lang Xia becomes popular in the future, if Director Chen asks Lang Xia to play a supporting role, Lang Xia won't act?"

He Yingzi didn't expect that she had made a slip of the tongue, and was immediately caught by Chen Ziyan. She was furious and denied, "I didn't mean that, don't put labels on people."

Chen Ziyan: "So it was my small-mindedness."

The half-smiling expression on her face made this sentence sound like a sarcasm. ===== CHAPTER 269 =====
