Chapter 271: We Are Birds of a Feather (14,000-character update!)

After staying with the *Phoenix Terrace* crew for so long, Lu Yanhe became more and more familiar with Chen Lingling.

This director is a very strong director—her strength is reflected in the fact that in the matter of filming, no one can offend or question her.

Once she makes a decision, no one wants to change her decision.

These young actors don't say anything, they are all quite obedient, and they respect her very much in the face of such a famous director. But some big-name actors in the crew with outstanding seniority, status, and position shouldn't expect her to have any compromise or special treatment.

Unlike Director Luo Yuzhong, who is known for being gentle, meticulous, and inclusive, Chen Lingling basically never encouraged Lu Yanhe, and praise almost didn't exist. She only raised some opinions after every performance of Lu Yanhe. In private, let alone communication. Chen Lingling seems to be a director who doesn't like to have extra communication with anyone in private.

But under these circumstances, Lu Yanhe trusted her more and more.

Because every word she said, Lu Yanhe finally found, was right.

Whether it's the judgment of professionalism or scolding people, she was never without reason.

Chen Lingling has her capabilities.

And her existence also gives everyone a stabilizer while fearing her, because in front of anything, she doesn't have too many emotional fluctuations, let alone affecting her work style—she is already strict and has a bad temper enough, and it is difficult to be even worse.

The endorsement brands and related business cooperation on her body have all temporarily erased the traces of cooperation with her.

Chen Ziyan said again: "Busher signed a one-year endorsement contract with you, with an endorsement fee of 500,000 US dollars. Shangjian and Baixing are both six-month endorsement contracts, with an endorsement fee of 1 million yuan."

So much money?

"By then, your rival scenes with Zhen Hongyu will have to be re-filmed, so it may not be possible to finish filming during the holiday," Chen Ziyan said. "This will affect your classes next semester."

Zhen Hongyu's fans struggled to try to explain this matter, indicating that she was also a victim.

This has a great benefit for Lu Yanhe's national popularity.

But this didn't have much use.

However, in the current situation of public indignation, although Zhen Hongyu was not scolded by many people, she also had a negative impression because of this matter.

That is really a big problem.

Zhen Hongyu's company issued a statement at the first time, indicating that Zhen Hongyu was completely unaware of this matter and was cooperating with the police for investigation.

Chen Ziyan gave a hum and said: "In addition, because of the hit of *The Golden Age*, there are finally a few brands suitable for you that have thrown an olive branch to you. I am planning to help you take them."

Lu Yanhe knew how high Chen Ziyan's requirements for his endorsements were.

Lu Yanhe was also very excited.

According to his share with the company, as long as the annual income Lu Yanhe brings to the company exceeds 5 million, his share ratio with the company can be adjusted to 5:5. This means that the annual income he brings must exceed 10 million for him to get this 5:5 share ratio.

"Wow."

A show with an investment of hundreds of millions, how could he just quit like this.

Lu Yanhe was shocked.

"If it really has to be dragged until after the holiday, then there is no other way."

If Zhen Hongyu doesn't act and needs to be replaced, it will also have a great impact on him.

Lu Yanhe was a bit surprised.

Chen Ziyan was happy about these two brands, Shangjian and Baixing, because these two brands have tens of thousands of stores across the country, and almost every city has their specialty stores. If Lu Yanhe becomes the spokesperson, Lu Yanhe's image will also be seen by a large number of people in various cities.

He just told Li Pengfei that the money he earned as an artist was not as good as the income brought by *Jump Up*, and now he was immediately slapped in the face.

Whether it was the previous Shen Yufang incident or this Zhen Hongyu incident, the *Phoenix Terrace* crew was involved in the controversy, but Chen Lingling's emotional stability was amazing to Lu Yanhe.

Her boyfriend's name is Li You, a photographer. Lu Yanhe didn't know how he got involved in this illegal fundraising matter. Looking at the news, because Li You is Zhen Hongyu's public boyfriend, many people found out as soon as they checked that he used Zhen Hongyu's identity as a boyfriend to deceive many people's money.

Her name also hung on the trending search for three or four days.

The two actors he had the most rival scenes with in *Phoenix Terrace* were Lang Xia and Zhen Hongyu.

If it's not enough, should Monday to Friday also be specifically emptied for a few days of filming?

Can several courses be directly applied for extension and moved to the next academic year to make up?

Then he can only sacrifice his class time next semester.

If this show really isn't finished, what should Lu Yanhe do?

And such a high-demand person now wants to take on several for him in one go?

Chen Ziyan was obviously in a good mood.

As soon as the news was exposed, hundreds of people were deceived, involving an amount of tens of millions.

Since June last year, a large number of endorsements have come, but Chen Ziyan refused to take them. The reason is that she felt these brands were relatively average, not first-tier enough, and would consume Lu Yanhe without being able to bring about an improvement in Lu Yanhe's career—that's right, Chen Ziyan taking endorsements for Lu Yanhe, making money is secondary, the most important thing is to help Lu Yanhe raise his status.

This is unreasonable, Zhen Hongyu might really be a victim, but the audience doesn't like her, hates her, this is her original sin as an artist.

Lu Yanhe was also very concerned about whether Zhen Hongyu would continue to act in *Phoenix Terrace*.

In this era, fraud is the most hated thing, let alone using a celebrity's fame to commit fraud.

Using weekends to film? Is the time enough?

If such an idea of hers were spread, it is estimated that many people would feel speechless.

"Except for an Italian men's shoe brand Busher, the other two are domestic first-tier big brands. One is the sportswear brand Shangjian, and the other is the stationery brand Baixing," Chen Ziyan said. "These three brands, except for the first one that Lu Qingzhen from the company's business department specifically fought for you, the other two came to the door on their own initiative. This is all thanks to the good reputation brought to you by *The Golden Age*."

On set, Lu Yanhe could hear someone mention her or her boyfriend's name almost anytime, anywhere.

Really awesome.

Zhen Hongyu did not appear on the crew for three or four consecutive days.

Act according to the contract, must leave the crew and rush back to school for classes?

Lu Yanhe sighed, somewhat helplessly.

At that time, Lu Yanhe felt that he couldn't do it in these few years. Unexpectedly, these three endorsements added together exceeded 6 million.

It's only January now.

By then, there will be the final payment for *Phoenix Terrace* and the second phase of the endorsement fee for "Xueyou APP", plus some other work, and this year he can achieve a 5:5 share with the company.

That means he has an annual income of at least 5 million this year?

Of course, after tax, it will be less than half, but that is still very high!

Lu Yanhe, who had never seen so much money, had his eyes straight.

Is it so profitable?

Chen Ziyan heard Lu Yanhe's slightly rapid breathing on the phone, smiled, and said: "After the clouds clear, you see the moon. Congratulations to you."

"No, no, no, Sister Ziyan, thank you," Lu Yanhe said immediately. "Without you, I would definitely not be able to do it."

Chen Ziyan said: "In the entertainment industry, as long as you have fame and heat, you don't have to worry about making money at all. In the past six months, you have never worried about money, nor have you doubted the route I formulated for you. I am very gratified."

"I know you are doing it for my own good."

"I am indeed doing it for your own good," Chen Ziyan said. "Since there is no shortage of opportunities to make money, then every sum of money must be earned cleanly and refreshingly. Now there is one thing you have to consider: whether you want to set up a personal studio or company, so you don't have to pay taxes according to the high tax rate of personal income tax."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Do I have to find a professional accountant to help me do this? I feel like I don't understand."

"Mm," Chen Ziyan said. "Not for now. Your income doesn't need a professional accountant to help you manage money. Oh, by the way, you also have the income from *Jump Up*, so your sources of income are indeed becoming more and more complex."

Lu Yanhe said: "Mm, there is also the song *Memory*, although not much, it has also been paying me some follow-up income one after another. Because this didn't go through the company's account, it was all my personal account, and I didn't sort it out too clearly myself."

Chen Ziyan: "Okay, I understand. I will help you find a reliable accounting firm. Don't make mistakes in this regard, that would be too unjust."

"Mm."

"In addition, Little Lu, there is one more thing. You have used Zou Dong for almost two months. How do you feel?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "Very reliable, Brother Dong is too reliable."

Chen Ziyan said: "The Spring Festival is coming soon. Although he has an annual salary, according to the convention, a year-end bonus is generally issued. His contract is signed with you. No matter how much, you have to express it, so that people feel comfortable."

With this reminder from Chen Ziyan, Lu Yanhe realized that he had almost ignored this matter.

"Sister Ziyan, then how much do you think is appropriate for me to give? I have no concept at all," Lu Yanhe said.

Chen Ziyan said: "Generally, it is one-third of the salary. He has only been doing it for two months, so divide it by six, and rounding it up is 20,000."

Lu Yanhe understood and said: "Okay, I know. Sister Ziyan, thank you."

"If you are willing, in addition to the bonus, why not send something else? It doesn't have to be expensive, it's mainly a heart. Zou Dong is the person by your side. Only if you are more attentive and caring to him will he give back to you in the same way."

Chen Ziyan is teaching Lu Yanhe about human relations again.

Lu Yanhe kept it in his heart. "Okay, I understand. By the way, Sister Ziyan, should I also prepare a gift for the directors I have worked with and some media that have always supported me?"

"You catch on quickly," Chen Ziyan laughed. "I was just about to tell you. This is also the second thing. This year is the first Spring Festival after you became popular. Other artists will send them, and we cannot fail to express it. Just as you said, everyone has given you a lot of help and support in the past, especially so many trending searches, so many reports, and the support for you before and after the broadcast of *The Golden Age*."

"Yes."

"I suggest this: I have listed the number of copies to be sent. According to your income in the past six months, it is more appropriate to prepare gifts for media and partners worth about 1,000 yuan. About 40 or so need to be sent, and the estimate is about 50,000 yuan," Chen Ziyan said. "Like Director Luo, Director Chen, etc., you should buy them separately and send them separately."

Lu Yanhe: "Okay, Sister Ziyan, I listen to you."

Chen Ziyan: "Okay, then I will be responsible for coordinating the media partners. For the others you want to send personally, do you want me to help you purchase them together? Or do you want to ponder it yourself and send something different to everyone? I suggest that if you have the energy, ponder it yourself, so it's more sincere."

Lu Yanhe understood what Chen Ziyan meant. "Okay, then I will ponder it myself."

Calculated this way, there are actually quite a lot of people to send to.

At least the two directors and two producers of *The Golden Age* must be sent, as well as Hou Jun, the director of *Small Song Gathering*, who has always taken care of him, Xin Zixing of *City Travel Notes*, editor Xu Xiaoyin of Jiang Yin Publishing House...

Lu Yanhe immediately realized that thinking about it one by one like this wouldn't work, he would miss people, so he had to write a list directly.

As for what to buy... Lu Yanhe thought for less than three seconds and decided to find foreign aid.

Chen Siqi: "How would I know what they like? You ask me to help you advise."

"I don't know either," Lu Yanhe said honestly. "I think you must know better than me."

Chen Siqi: "Alright, I'll go to the mall in the next two days to see if there is anything suitable."

Sure enough, the Spring Festival was coming. Even in the Langhua film and television base, various merchants began to play some festive songs and post Spring Festival couplets and hang red lanterns at the door.

Lu Yanhe filmed according to the crew's notice every day. Because of Zhen Hongyu's departure, many of his rival scenes couldn't be filmed, so he could only film other scenes and adjusted many places.

And several fight scenes were also arranged. This was Lu Yanhe's first time filming a fight scene—if the fight scene in *The Golden Age* didn't count.

Mo Lan gave Lu Yanhe great help.

However, it is inevitable to get hurt when filming fight scenes, and bumps and bruises are normal.

Lu Yanhe was mentally prepared for this, and Zou Dong also helped him prepare a medicine box for common injuries—in this regard, he is also an expert.

Chen Lingling and Huangcheng originally hoped that most of the fight scenes would be completed by martial arts substitutes.

But Lu Yanhe wanted to fight himself.

He fought himself, which meant that the error rate would be much higher, meaning the number of NG times would increase, meaning the filming time might only take two hours, but finally it became four hours, or even six hours.

With Chen Lingling's filming style, she was racing against time. If she could pass in one take, she would never film a second take. Compared to only being responsible for a part of the heavy scenes, and other scenes being divided into Group B and handed over to the assistant director to film, she would rather not polish every scene so finely, but every scene must be filmed by her own hands. Whether Chen Lingling would agree to Lu Yanhe's request, Lu Yanhe had no bottom in his heart.

At this time, Huangcheng came to find Chen Ziyan.

Sure enough, he proposed that Lu Yanhe's time in the crew might need to be extended, hoping that Lu Yanhe could cooperate.

Chen Ziyan had already made plans in this regard and had already communicated with Lu Yanhe, so she had a bottom, so when she pretended to be difficult, she was also at ease.

"Huang Zong, you know, Little Lu is still in school, and he has classes when school starts."

Huangcheng said: "I know. Regarding this matter, I also know that you must be very difficult, but Zhen Hongyu has such a problem, leading to her scenes having to be re-filmed. We can only change actors to film."

Chen Ziyan was a bit surprised and asked: "Has it been determined to change actors?"

"She resigned on her own initiative," Huangcheng said. "She also knows that dragging on like this will affect the crew's filming progress. We have already found an actor to replace her, and she will join the crew the day after tomorrow. Of course, we will try our best to arrange the scenes during Lu Yanhe's winter vacation and finish filming as soon as possible."

Chen Ziyan hesitated.

"He hopes to film the action scenes himself, and we are also very happy that he is willing to go into battle himself. However, the filming time is relatively tight. If he cannot stay in the crew for a while longer, then we can only guarantee the progress," Huangcheng said. "You must also know that if we guarantee the progress, the quality cannot be guaranteed."

Chen Ziyan: "Huang Zong, I will also tell you the truth. You have spoken, no matter what, I have to give you this face. I will do the work on his side. Although he is young, he is a person with a strong professional spirit. If the crew really needs it, he will even suspend school to finish filming this show. It's just that you also know that his identity is sensitive. If he suspends school because of acting work, it will definitely cause a lot of public opinion attacks. Let's try our best to arrange the scenes when he has no classes, and weekends, try not to let him ask for leave from school, what do you think?"

Huangcheng nodded: "This is of course. He must have suffered a loss in this matter, I understand. Regarding the compensation for extended filming..."

"Don't mention the compensation for extended filming," Chen Ziyan said. "Changing actors to film must have caused a lot of financial pressure on the crew. We don't want to add insult to injury to the crew at this time, but there is only one requirement: let's sign an additional agreement. Extended filming is a voluntary act of his, and he has no related obligation to cooperate with filming for the crew, so as not to cause trouble in time coordination, and then have the same situation as He Min, where Lu Yanhe was bullied and said Lu Yanhe didn't cooperate with the crew's arrangement and acted like a big shot. I will tell the truth, once school starts, he definitely cannot wait for the crew at any time."

Huangcheng nodded understandingly. "Okay, Ziyan, it's easier to talk to you, thank you."

"It's not easy for anyone. After Zhen Hongyu's incident, you must have been so busy that you couldn't sleep well for several days, right?"

"More than that, sigh," Huangcheng said. "Zhen Hongyu is also quite righteous, and she returned all the previous remuneration without saying a word. What else can I say? To put it bluntly, she is also a victim. That dog thing, using his identity as Zhen Hongyu's boyfriend, did some wicked things."

Chen Ziyan: "People who are righteous and capable will be fine even if they go downhill for a while, and they will continue to go up in the future. As long as she doesn't go astray herself."

The actress who replaced Zhen Hongyu to play the role of Chen Yourong turned out to be Xiao Yun.

This girl with an extremely cheerful personality had greatly increased her popularity in *Young Days*, and her fame had risen rapidly. She herself had a very good relationship with Lu Yanhe.

Before she arrived at the crew, the news had already been sent to Lu Yanhe: Student Lu, it's been too long, have you missed me?

Lu Yanhe: To be honest, no.

Xiao Yun immediately sent an emoji of throwing a kitchen knife.

Lu Yanhe: Hahaha, filming with the crew, where do I have the leisure to miss you guys.

Xiao Yun said: Humph, just wait!

Lu Yanhe didn't know what Xiao Yun meant by "just wait" at this time.

Then, Xiao Yun joined the crew.

Lu Yanhe was very surprised.

Xiao Yun stood in front of him, wearing a black down jacket, wrapped from head to toe, but still able to turn around flexibly, showing herself, "Haha, didn't expect it, right?"

A girl who can be happy by herself for half a day.

"Didn't expect it," Lu Yanhe also laughed.

"I was originally so nervous, but when I heard that the person acting with me was you, I breathed a sigh of relief," Xiao Yun said. "This time I'm really lucky."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I just wanted to see you being startled now," Xiao Yun said, a bright smile on her face, even in the cold season, it was still moving.

Xiao Yun is not the kind of beautiful woman with a bright appearance, but has a kind of purity of a campus girl. This purity is a pure appearance feature, and has little to do with her own personality. Compared with it, she actually has a more boyish thing, which is also the reason why she can play well with many people in *Young Days*.

The two of them took a group photo and sent it to the group of *Young Days*.

Others bubbled up, asking where they met.

Lu Yanhe asked Xiao Yun if the news of her coming to act in *Phoenix Terrace* could be said.

Xiao Yun said yes.

Lu Yanhe said in the group that he was in Langhua.

Peng Zhixing: I'm still in the studio, just finished recording the program.

Xiao Yun said: Since the program finished airing, we haven't seen each other for a long time.

Peng Zhixing: Yes, why don't we find a time and get together again.

Xiao Yun: Mm-hmm.

Song Linxin: I miss everyone too, let's find a time to get together!

Everyone recorded the program together, lived together day and night, and became familiar with each other.

Since the program finished recording in October, everyone often chatted online and shared some interesting things, but they really hadn't gotten together again.

Peng Zhixing said: Why don't I make an appointment with everyone? I'll do a special episode on *Zhixing*, and we'll get together to record an episode. After the program is recorded, we'll empty out the time behind and get together properly.

Liu Zhiyin: This can have!

Liu Zhiyin: I've long wanted to be on *Zhixing* once!

Peng Zhixing: Arrange it immediately.

In this group, there is no Meng Li.

And no one has mentioned the inappropriate words of whether to pull Meng Li into the group.

Everyone tacitly didn't mention this matter, just pretending to have forgotten.

The little partners in the current group of *Young Days*, if nothing else, are not the kind of people who are completely self-centered like Meng Li. They can chat happily at ordinary times, and when they have works to promote, they will also help each other promote.

Just like when Lu Yanhe's *The Golden Age* aired before, everyone in the group helped with the promotion.

Moreover, everyone is a very good person. Liu Zhiyin opened a column on *Jump Up* about reviewing her overseas trainee and girl group experience, each episode is only about 800 words, which is the volume of one page, and the fixed manuscript fee is 1,000 yuan, which is not high. So far, Liu Zhiyin has written two episodes, and the content of each episode will be excerpted to the internet, sparking heated discussions, and then bringing new heat to *Jump Up*.

The "Zhixing" column done by Peng Zhixing is even more so. Each episode is about the behind-the-scenes stories of the program *Zhixing*, involving the private stories of many celebrity artists, and is liked by many people.

The two of them opened this column on *Jump Up*, bringing fixed powder readers to *Jump Up*, and also bringing a lot of topic heat, making *Jump Up* exposed from time to time, and being seen by everyone. And *Jump Up* also brought them continuous exposure and heat.

Liu Zhiyin accepted an interview with a fashion magazine at the beginning of the month and mentioned the matter of opening a column on *Jump Up*. She specifically mentioned this matter: "This column was proposed by me to Yanhe. I just returned to China and want more people to know me. After all, I was more active overseas before, and *Jump Up* is a magazine facing tens of thousands of young people, which is an opportunity I very much need. Yanhe is also very good, and he agreed immediately. He said that my experience overseas is definitely what many people want to understand. What kind of experience I have had in these years, what I have gained, by writing this column, I can also record many things. While I still remember, this is a very meaningful thing. I am very busy at work and cannot guarantee that there will be one in every issue, but I will write it down as long as everyone is willing to read it."

*Jump Up* needs some fixed columns, of course, it will also need some fresh things.

Chen Siqi's novel review planning for Teacher Shi Xia is one category, finding Jiang Yubai, the author of *Child of Time and Space*, to draw the cover is one category, and there are all kinds of ideas and points.

Because it is a physical book, the layout is limited, and Chen Siqi tries to give a book with rich content instead of a flashy shelf, so her demand for content is very large. However, good content is always scarce, and she cannot wait for people to come to the door, so she can only take the initiative.

On the one hand, it is to attack those famous writers, and on the other hand, it is to find those top figures in various fields, communicate their cooperation with *Jump Up*, and even in the issue published in January, there is content written by a famous decoration designer about some tips for house decoration design, and several typical cases she encountered.

When Lu Yanhe reviewed the manuscript, he saw this and muttered, wondering if the readers of *Jump Up* would be willing to read this kind of thing—the result was quite good. Although it did not form a hot topic on the internet, it was reacted by many readers that "I hope that more interesting and practical content can be published in the future."

For example, now, Chen Siqi is doing something.

"This is a questionnaire. Everyone send the link to your classmates, expand the scope of the survey as much as possible, so that cases and data can be more, which can also better guide us on how to do *Jump Up* later."

Chen Siqi made a questionnaire about "what content you hope to read in the magazine."

Specifically for ordinary college students, not readers of *Jump Up*—that's another questionnaire.

Chen Siqi said: We must try every means to expand the popularity and readership of *Jump Up*.

The issue of *Jump Up* published in January, listed for two weeks, physical book sales 41,000, e-book sales 13,000, sales data has been controlled and no longer sliding.

And the publication of each issue of *Jump Up* can drive the previous issues to usher in a new wave of sales, so, in fact, each issue of *Jump Up* published can bring millions of income, and the share to Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi is also hundreds of thousands.

Lu Yanhe felt incredible.

A theme book, or directly speaking, a magazine, was made up by these young people like this.

Not to mention they felt incredible, even everyone at Jiang Yin Publishing House felt incredible.

You know, a long-term, fixed, best-selling magazine is far more valuable to a publisher than the millions of profits brought to the publisher every month—and in this era of continuous decline of physical books, this profit is already a huge number.

Everyone's year-end bonus at Jiang Yin Publishing House has risen a lot this year.

Xiao Yun specifically said to Lu Yanhe: "I really haven't read magazines for a long time. I like reading the *Jump Up* you made. I'm not saying scene words to you, I bought every issue."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Why do you like it?"

"Because there is something to see, many contents are what I like. I like the novels written by the author named Bai Yu very much. Many words are what I want to express but can't organize language to express," Xiao Yun said. "And the novel in Liu Jiazhen, I have also been chasing it, and I have always wanted to know who the murderer is."

Lu Yanhe didn't expect that what Xiao Yun loved to read was novels. He originally thought that what Xiao Yun loved to read were the articles written by celebrity artists in each issue.

"When learning acting, our teachers have always emphasized that we actors must read all kinds of literary works, classic, popular, realistic, romantic, etc.," Xiao Yun said. "However, there are a few traditional literary magazines, although I have been subscribing to them, it is actually difficult to read them down. The novels on *Jump Up* are not so difficult to read, I like them very much. By the way, I also like the novels of Teacher Shi Xia that you just published."

"Teacher Shi Xia's novels are traditional literature."

"I'm talking about the novels in those traditional literary magazines now, you must not have read them, right?" Xiao Yun said. "I almost can't read half of them."

Lu Yanhe was speechless.

Xiao Yun: "I have a suggestion, of course, it's just my own. People like me actually want someone to recommend books to me. Although the information on the internet is rich now, there is also a lot of information, and I don't know who is telling the truth and who is telling the truth. If your *Jump Up* can do a recommendation column in each issue, especially the kind with recommenders and reasons for recommendation, it would be very useful to me."

Lu Yanhe fell into deep thought.

"And online novels, I actually love reading online novels, it's just too long," Xiao Yun said. "And each platform has main recommended works, the ones I love to read are not so mainstream, many big hot works, I know why they are popular, and I understand why they are good, but I just can't read them myself, because it's not what I like. If there could be a special section to introduce us to some works that are not so famous but good, that would be great."

What Xiao Yun said hovered in Lu Yanhe's mind for a while.

In the evening, Lu Yanhe contacted Chen Siqi and told Chen Siqi what Xiao Yun said.

"I'm thinking, can we really do such a column?" Lu Yanhe said. "Before, we did writers like Teacher Shi Xia who are already very famous. Then, like Brother Jiazhen and Sister Mingyin at the beginning, they are newcomers, not very famous, but we like their works very much. Can we do such a column, find famous people to recommend their works?"

Chen Siqi: "Find famous people to recommend?"

"For example, does Teacher Shi Xia have any excellent novel works or excellent novelists that he thinks are not known by many people yet? If Teacher Shi Xia is willing, can we invite him to make recommendations in our magazine?" Lu Yanhe said. "Others can also do it. I believe there must be many teachers who have the heart to love talent and are willing to carry talented people. We do such a window, what do you think?"

Chen Siqi: "You can try it."

"Not limited to books published by Jiang Yin Publishing House, books from various publishers can be used," Lu Yanhe said. "Now there are fewer and fewer people with reading habits. If we can make them interested in some unknown works and writers through this column, it also has great significance."

Chen Siqi nodded and said: "I know, it can be done, but this is to open a new column. Now there are only a few of us, everyone's work is saturated, this is a new workload, our editorial team needs to continue to add people."

"Then add it," Lu Yanhe said.

"Do you think it is better to recruit full-time editors, or like art editors, find students to work part-time from school?" Chen Siqi asked. "If you want to recruit full-time editors, unlike us, who are all students in school, you still have to pay them five insurances and one fund. We don't have formal financial personnel for the time being, and I am handling these things, which will be very complicated."

"Recruit part-time?" Lu Yanhe said. "If possible."

"If you recruit part-time, you must find them from people you are familiar with, or ask them to recommend, otherwise it is very unreliable. Our magazine has to deal with many celebrities. If you run into someone with bad intentions, it is easy to have an accident."

"Wow."

"What are you wowing about?" Chen Siqi asked.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said: "You think very comprehensively, I haven't considered these things at all."

"That's of course, am I not the general manager of *Jump Up*?" Chen Siqi said. "It sounds reasonable, but it's actually just talking on paper. I want to go to Jiang Yin Publishing House for an internship for a while, and it would be good to learn something. Unfortunately, they are on holiday for the Spring Festival again, damn it."

Lu Yanhe: "You can do it, we have survived the most difficult starting stage."

"The starting stage is not our most difficult time. Because of you, our starting stage is already the easiest time. The next year is the most difficult time. We must let *Jump Up* stand firm," Chen Siqi said.

Lu Yanhe: "Rely on you."

"You work hard yourself," Chen Siqi said. "The more successful your acting career is, the thicker the background of our *Jump Up*, and the less worries."

"I will work hard," Lu Yanhe said.

"Hanging up, Liu Weian is knocking on the door," Chen Siqi suddenly said.

"Okay."

Chen Siqi hung up the phone.

She looked at the door, the smile on her face faded lightly, and called out: "You can come in."

Liu Weian opened the door and walked in.

She was still the exquisitely dressed person armed to the hair.

It was already night, almost time to sleep, but Liu Weian was so exquisite that she could go directly to the studio to shoot a magazine cover.

She smiled at Chen Siqi and asked: "Were you talking to Lu Yanhe on the phone just now?"

"Yes," Chen Siqi nodded.

A vague smile appeared on Liu Weian's face. "Have you two confirmed the relationship? Officially together?"

Chen Siqi expressionless: "None of your business."

Liu Weian: "Your father wants to know."

"Then let him come and ask me himself," Chen Siqi didn't buy it at all.

However, Chen Siqi now had a big change in facing Liu Weian, that is, she no longer directly expressed the disgust of "not even willing to say a word to you."

Her face appeared a lightness like a breeze blowing through the water, saying words that didn't buy it, but there was no intense emotion. Her calm demeanor made Liu Weian stunned for a moment.

Chen Siqi's return this time surprised her.

"You are now the editor-in-chief, a celebrity, so many people are your readers, your fans, your father doesn't know how to face you," Liu Weian said with a smile.

"Ha?" Chen Siqi looked at Liu Weian in astonishment, never expecting Liu Weian to say such words. "Have I become a monster or some other magical species?"

Liu Weian still wanted to say something.

Chen Siqi: "You stop it. I have nothing to say to you. No matter how you explain or disguise, I know clearly what you have done to me. As for this family, whether you welcome me back or not, I don't care much. Now you should also be clear about one thing: you can't control me anymore. So, for the sake of my father living a few more years, you and I should get along peacefully, and the well water does not violate the river water."

Liu Weian's expression seemed to be covered by frost for a moment, with a chilling chill.

Chen Siqi: "As for what should be mine, not a single point can be less, and don't expect me to give up. I used to think about leaving directly, once and for all, I disdain to share this family property, but now I have changed my mind. Why should I give up what belongs to me because of your attitude? My mother clearly said before she passed away, the share that belongs to me must be mine. This family business was not earned by you accompanying my father."

Liu Weian looked at her with a fake smile and said: "I never thought about taking away what belongs to you, Siqi, you are too sensitive."

"That's because you can't take it away," Chen Siqi looked at her coldly. "Do you really think I don't know my mother's will? By the time I am twenty-two, the equity left by my mother will be handed over to me directly, instead of being temporarily managed by my father."

Liu Weian pursed her lips and looked at Chen Siqi silently.

"Don't come here to show off in the future, disgusting," Chen Siqi said. "You'd better not come to provoke me. If you really provoke me, I will sell the equity. By then, the company will depreciate, your assets will shrink, I don't care anyway, can you not care?"

Liu Weian looked at her with fear. "Don't mess around."

"The premise of me not messing around is that you don't mess around," Chen Siqi said with her arms crossed. "Now you can go out."

Liu Weian looked at Chen Siqi deeply, as if a shadow had fallen into her eyes.

Chen Siqi calmly greeted Liu Weian's gloomy eyes.

From the idea of burning both jade and stone, to the confidence of not caring now, Chen Siqi knew that if it weren't for the success of *Jump Up*, it would actually be difficult for her to overcome her inner demons—even if she hated Liu Weian since she was a child, resisted Liu Weian, and vowed to leave, she was still in a weak position deep in her heart, because of this weakness, she couldn't make rational judgments, and no one taught her to make rational judgments.

Doing *Jump Up* brought not only a simple return of income, but also the opportunity to "see the world," expanding her vision, and letting her see the vastness of the world. Her vision grew, and she knew that she had just stayed at the bottom of a small well. Those angers, loss of control, and impulses that seemed to burn both jade and stone with the world at any time, all drifted away like burnt ashes with the wind.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that although Xiao Yun was a very optimistic girl and usually looked very fond of showing off, her talent for acting was not high. On set, she was often scolded by Chen Lingling.

Lu Yanhe was already used to Chen Lingling's style, but hearing the words Chen Lingling scolded Xiao Yun, he still felt embarrassed.

Especially when Chen Lingling scolded Xiao Yun, she rarely avoided others and scolded in front of the whole crew.

"Is this how you like someone? Do you rely on squeezing your eyes to express your liking? I only see your pretentious expression, I can't feel your liking!"

"Chen Yourong is an ancient woman who has received a good education, not a little girl who grew up in the city. You have to have a standing posture!"

"Listen to your lines yourself. A line of eighteen words, how many words can you hear clearly? Is your mouth unable to open or what?"

After Xiao Yun joined the crew, from the first scene, she ushered in cannon-like criticism.

She was scolded until she was numb, and she was no longer the joy she was when she first came.

But Lu Yanhe and Lang Xia benefited from her, and many scenes had the opportunity for a second or even third take.

Lu Yanhe was also worried that Xiao Yun's mentality would collapse. After all, Chen Lingling's style, even boys like them could hardly bear it.

But although Xiao Yun was as frustrated as an eggplant beaten by frost, she didn't collapse. Instead, she forced herself to start studying the script, studying the characters, and when there was no scene, she found a corner to practice lines and asked them to rehearse.

Lu Yanhe had never seen Xiao Yun scolded to tears—it wasn't that he looked down on girls, it was that he heard the words Chen Lingling scolded, and felt that he would cry.

"Too terrible." Lu Yanhe even heard Chen Wenwen and the other girls whispering together in private.

Lu Yanhe wanted to help Xiao Yun, but there was no way to help.

Acting is something that can only rely on the actor himself.

Whether acting well or not depends on the actor's own understanding and effort.

Actually, Xiao Yun herself was also quite aggrieved. She was replacing Zhen Hongyu to play this role. She joined the crew temporarily, the script was not studied in advance, the character was not, and she was very unfamiliar. Mistakes were inevitable, but these explanations could not be said in front of Chen Lingling. Xiao Yun positioned herself as a professional actor. Since she is a professional actor, no matter what the reason, not acting well is not acting well.

Xiao Yun put in hard work to chew the script.

Except for the time of acting, all other time was used to chew the script and rehearse.

Fortunately, whether it was Lu Yanhe or Lang Xia, they were willing to accompany her to rehearse again and again.

And as the Spring Festival approached, the news of this year's Spring Festival Gala also began to fly all over the sky, becoming the most concerned thing in the entertainment industry at the moment.

From the host lineup to the performance guests, from the artists appearing in the first row to the artists appearing in the second row, various news, the attention is extremely high.

Under these circumstances, the heat of *Phoenix Terrace* finally slowly dropped.

Huangcheng breathed a sigh of relief sincerely.

This day, it was rare to have a sun, although it was still very cold.

Lu Yanhe finished filming a scene, and it was time for dinner, so he went back to the lounge to eat.

Zou Dong went to get the boxed lunch, and just as he was about to eat, Chen Ziyan suddenly came.

Chen Ziyan didn't say hello to Lu Yanhe in advance when she came today, which surprised Lu Yanhe.

"Sister Ziyan?"

Chen Ziyan nodded to Lu Yanhe and said: "The performance agreement for *Seventeen Layers* needs your signature. The specific terms of the agreement have finally been finished."

This is a big show of Jingtai, which was taken by Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yanhe nodded, put down his chopsticks, took the agreement from Chen Ziyan, read it seriously, and signed his name.

Chen Ziyan said: "This show will be filmed next summer. Because it is a 12-episode short drama, the filming time is only 50 days, just in time for your summer vacation."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"In addition, there is the movie *Miss Ning*. I had a meeting with He Han and Liu Bige. I originally wanted to call you, but you had a scene that day and had no time, so the three of us talked first," Chen Ziyan said. "They were originally planning to film in March, but they haven't found a candidate for the heroine, so the opening time will be delayed."

"Okay, I don't have many scenes in this movie, it should be finished in a few days."

"Yes," Chen Ziyan nodded. "In the future, you can take a few more roles like this, hone your acting skills well, and it won't delay your time."

Lu Yanhe nodded with a smile.

"Sister Ziyan, haven't you had lunch yet? Why don't you eat a boxed lunch with us?" he asked.

Chen Ziyan nodded. "Okay."

"Brother Dong, trouble you." He said to Zou Dong.

Zou Dong understood and got up and went out.

Chen Ziyan waited for him to go out before saying: "Chen Mo finally has movement. During this time, her account has received two sums of money, that account is an overseas account, the source is unknown, and the sum is exactly 100,000."

"Then isn't there no way to know who instructed her to plant a Trojan horse in my notebook?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Chen Ziyan shook her head. "The more this is the case, the more it proves that the person is cautious, even transferring money to her has to go through an overseas account, for fear of leaving traces. But treating others in their own way, no matter how cautious they are, there is always a connection, and if there is a connection, it can be tracked. I found someone to hack Chen Mo's mobile phone and have already obtained all her call records and all chat records in her mobile phone for the past six months."

Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in shock.

"Is this okay?"

Chen Ziyan: "Said, treat others in their own way, of course, you can't do this, but if you want to investigate clearly who is dealing with you behind your back, you must do this. I checked it myself, and these three people are the most suspicious, because these three people are not people she can directly contact at her level."

She took an envelope out of her bag and handed it to Lu Yanhe.

"This is the information of these three people. You find a time when no one is around to read it." She glanced at the door, signaling Lu Yanhe. "Currently, it cannot be fully trusted for the time being, understand?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and put it away. "Understood, Sister Ziyan."

Chen Ziyan: "After reading it, don't do anything, and don't show any emotions. Don't beat the grass and startle the snake. Mainly, you should pay attention to these three people and the people around them. In case of any situation, don't be stupidly running to a remote riverside in the middle of the night because of an anonymous letter sent by someone, and be pushed down from behind, without even seeing what the other person looks like."

Lu Yanhe covered his face in embarrassment.

"I know I was wrong, stop talking."

Chen Ziyan smiled, raised her hand, and subconsciously wanted to touch Lu Yanhe's head, but because Lu Yanhe was wearing a headgear, her hand retracted halfway, and finally landed on his shoulder, patting it lightly.

On the last day of January, Lu Yanhe welcomed two other people to visit the crew, He Han and Liu Bige.

Liu Bige said that He Han must see him with his own eyes.

On this day, Lu Yanhe only had three scenes to film and would finish work at four in the afternoon, so he asked Zou Dong to book a restaurant, ready to take them to dinner.

However, these two came at two in the afternoon, holding a gift in their hands—a few cans of nuts.

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Liu Bige was wearing a black coat, still the elite style in the office building.

He Han was the same as in the video, but finally cut his long hair that reached his neck, not so long. In the winter, he wore a loose black long down jacket, which could be completely integrated into the *Phoenix Terrace* crew. The crew uniform of *Phoenix Terrace* is a black long down jacket.

"I still have a scene to film, I have to wait two hours," Lu Yanhe said.

"It's okay, you film yours," He Han said in a somewhat sloppy tone, curious to look around. "I have never been to a costume drama crew to see it."

Lu Yanhe had two more people visiting the crew—everyone didn't know their identity, just thought they were Lu Yanhe's friends.

He Han and Liu Bige didn't intend to introduce their identities. A movie hadn't been filmed yet, and they were too lazy to say they were directors and producers. Once they said so, others would definitely ask, what movie have you filmed? They would have to say, haven't filmed yet.

But the two of them were obviously very interested in the set, constantly curious about various equipment, and chatting about some topics Lu Yanhe couldn't understand.

Huangcheng came to find Lu Yanhe and asked who they were.

Lu Yanhe introduced them to Huangcheng simply.

Huangcheng was surprised when he heard that they were the producer and director of Lu Yanhe's next movie, because he had never seen these two people and didn't know them.

Lu Yanhe guessed what he was wondering when he saw the surprised expression on Huangcheng's face.

"They haven't filmed a movie yet," Lu Yanhe said. "They were working in the French film circle before, not in China."

Huangcheng heard this, suddenly realized, and nodded.

I knew it as soon as I heard it, making art films.

Huangcheng instantly lost interest in these two people.

After all, they are not in the same circle.

"Is it the lead actor?" Huangcheng asked Lu Yanhe.

With Lu Yanhe's current fame and status, an art film, the lead actor can definitely be taken.

But Lu Yanhe shook his head and said: "No, it's just a supporting role with a guest nature, only two scenes."

Huangcheng was very surprised, looking at Lu Yanhe, as if he felt it was a bit incredible, and asked: "How could Chen Ziyan let you take such a role?"

"It's what I wanted to take myself. I read the script and felt it was very challenging," Lu Yanhe said.

Huangcheng heard this, hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything more.

In Huangcheng's eyes, Lu Yanhe is just a new actor who has just started, so he doesn't know how lucky he is to meet *The Golden Age* as his first play, and it exploded a bit when it aired.

How many actors eat the dividends of a play for four or five years.

This role in *The Golden Age* is not to mention four or five years, two or three years is definitely edible. Not to mention that he himself is very famous for other aspects.

Running to play a supporting role in an art film at this time?

Huangcheng couldn't figure it out, couldn't understand.

After Lu Yanhe finished the last scene of the day, finished work, removed makeup, and took Liu Bige and He Han to the restaurant.

It was already 5:30 when they arrived at the restaurant.

The sunset was about to sink into the ground, and the sky was getting dark.

In the winter in the north, it is always so dark.

Lu Yanhe is relatively familiar with both of them.

Zou Dong didn't drink, and the three of them opened a bottle of white wine to drink.

The wine was brought by Chen Ziyan before.

At that time, Chen Ziyan said: "Always keep two bottles of wine in the car in case you need them at any time."

Now it really came in handy. Otherwise, it is basically impossible to drink this quality of wine in this kind of small restaurant.

He Han said: "I only knew how popular you were after I came back. Even on the subway, people are watching your show."

He was talking about *The Golden Age*.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said: "You caught up with *The Golden Age* just airing, it's not that I am popular, it's that this show is very popular."

Liu Bige said: "Don't be humble, this kid is very cunning. I heard that you are a big star, and immediately raised the production budget quotation to the production company."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

He Han said: "If you come to act, they are willing to add a little investment, why not."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Then will my remuneration rise?"

He Han: "This is what you say, what we pursue is art."

Liu Bige said to Lu Yanhe: "Knowing that I told you this person is a bit shameless, it's not that I am lying to you, right?"

"You always ruin my reputation, no wonder I have the opportunity to be a director and make a movie for the first time at my age," He Han complained.

"You might as well find the problem from yourself first," Liu Bige counterattacked.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said: "It's already very amazing that you can be a director in your early thirties."

After all, in China, there are very few directors younger than them.

He Han said: "Fortunately, there are still people who know the goods in China."

"The cake of the French film circle is not enough for our own people, how can it be given to us," He Han said while shaking his head, "However, China is also very annoying, opening and closing their mouths to ask if they can win awards."

Liu Bige said: "You make art films, not aiming at winning awards, could it be aiming at the box office?"

"Vulgar," He Han looked at Liu Bige with disgust. "Forget it, wait until I film this movie, let you know what is called fame and fortune."

"Oh, fame and fortune is not vulgar?" Liu Bige tilted his eyes at He Han unceremoniously.

He Han: "I have never said that I am not a vulgar person. Then I am vulgar and can't say you are vulgar?"

Lu Yanhe nodded seriously and said to Liu Bige: "He is indeed shameless and righteous. His thick skin makes me clearly realize one thing."

"What thing?"

"You are still willing to be friends with him like this, you should not be as morally noble as you usually show."

Liu Bige: "What the hell?"

He Han laughed forward and backward. "This is called birds of a feather! You saw through the truth at a glance. This guy is just pretending to be an elite, but in fact, he is also a guy who has held back I don't know how much badness."

Liu Bige: "Hehe." ===== CHAPTER 272 =====
