Chapter 275: Celebration! (10,000-word update!)

~33 min read 6,494 words

If not for the spy drama two years ago, Chen Jiping would have been just another obscure actor. But after rising to fame, he felt as if he had finally moved from a headwind to a tailwind. That spy drama earned him nominations for several major awards, though he unfortunately didn't take home a single one. This year, he was nominated for Best Actor at the Honghe Awards for the historical drama *Zhou Nan*.

In just two short years, Chen Jiping had become the middle-aged actor closest to winning an award in recent times.

He was slightly older than Huang Kai, thirty-six years old.

Lu Yanhe didn't know what had happened between Chen Jiping and Huang Kai to make him act so hostile toward him.

However, after Chen Jiping said such nasty things, Huang Kai, despite his face looking as dark and heavy as if it were waterlogged, didn't lash out or try to start a physical fight on the spot.

Lu Yanhe saw Huang Kai clench his fists, holding back so hard that the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

Of course, he couldn't start a fight now. Once he did, Huang Kai would be the one who initiated the violence, and regardless of the reason, he would be in a disadvantageous position.

With Lu Yanhe present, he certainly wouldn't want to see Huang Kai get into trouble.

So, with no other choice, Lu Yanhe spoke up, deciding to interrupt Chen Jiping's provocation.

"Chen Laoshi, it's been a long time since we last met. Why are you only talking to Brother Huang and not to me?" Lu Yanhe said with a faint smile. "Don't you remember me?"

Chen Jiping had never felt so stifled. Yet, every word Lu Yanhe said was impeccable; he couldn't find any handle to legitimately lecture him.

"It's hard for someone like me who just got lucky with a nomination, but of course, it's simple for someone with the strength to win," Lu Yanhe immediately retorted.

Chen Jiping looked at Lu Yanhe with an unfriendly expression, nodded, and said, "Then I wish you luck in winning an award tonight."

If he didn't win, then he couldn't blame anyone else.

Earlier, Chen Jiping had called Huang Kai an idol-type, and here Lu Yanhe mentioned "recognized acting skills." The implication was clear to anyone who used their brain.

"So humble?" Chen Jiping raised an eyebrow.

Chen Jiping had nothing left to say, so naturally, he had to leave.

"Why?" Lu Yanhe, of course, didn't know.

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "There's nothing to be proud of."

"Because everyone will win an award eventually," Lu Yanhe said with a brilliant smile. "If not this time, then next time. As long as you have recognized acting skills, isn't winning an award just a matter of time?"

Lu Yanhe smiled calmly and said, "I'm just stating a fact; it's not really about eloquence."

A young man who got lucky just by getting a nomination is here blabbering away. Let's see how long you can be arrogant.

That Jiang Yuqian would say such a thing at this moment showed that she really disliked Chen Jiping. It could only be said that Chen Jiping was also a failure in his daily conduct.

Chen Jiping laughed, "In your mouth, winning an award has become such a simple thing."

Lu Yanhe nodded, indicating he understood.

The conversation between Lu Yanhe and Chen Jiping, one sentence after another, was like a close-quarters battle. After several rounds, Chen Jiping hadn't gained any advantage, and he became quite annoyed.

Lu Yanhe felt a bit helpless hearing Huang Kai say this.

Jiang Yuqian shook her head and sighed, "People who can make Chen Jiping eat humble pie are few and far between. You're impressive."

Huang Kai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you."

"Of course I remember, how could I not?" Chen Jiping smiled slightly, though how much of that smile was genuine was hard to say.

Ever since Chen Jiping became famous, he had almost never encountered a situation where he was squeezed by a young person like Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe smiled warmly and said, "I'm a newcomer; it's already an honor to be nominated. Chen Laoshi is the one who truly has hope of winning. When you go up on stage to receive the award, I will definitely applaud you sincerely."

But why was Chen Jiping disliked by everyone?

Jiang Yuqian glanced at Huang Kai and said, "Do you know why he's targeting Old Huang?"

Chen Jiping paused, frowned slightly, and looked toward Lu Yanhe.

Huang Kai sighed helplessly.

Chen Jiping looked at him with a fake smile, then glanced at Huang Kai and Jiang Yuqian, saying, "You must be very proud, right? In the entire *Golden Age* crew, you're the only one nominated for an acting award."

Even if Chen Jiping didn't remember meeting Lu Yanhe, it was impossible for him not to know who he was.

Huang Kai said, "It's just that there was no direct conflict between him and me, but I didn't expect him to hold such a grudge. Every time he sees me, he has to make some snide remarks. This time, he blocked me; I didn't get a nomination, and he did, so he feels he's a cut above me."

Jiang Yuqian: "It's just because they both auditioned for the same role before. Later, Old Huang got the role, and Chen Jiping failed. Chen Jiping thought his acting was much better than Old Huang's, so he went to ask the producer why he wasn't chosen. That producer didn't know how to speak tactfully and retorted directly that no crew would use a male lead who had no fame but thought highly of himself. Chen Jiping took offense and held a grudge against Old Huang for this. Many people in the industry know about it."

Lu Yanhe found it incredible, "Just for something like that?"

No matter how famous a young person was, they at least maintained basic politeness in front of him and acted very respectful.

Having been famous for over half a year, with various news stories emerging, and having been nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Honghe Awards for *Golden Age*, he broke the record for the youngest nominee for an acting award in the last decade and was praised by the industry as a "future Best Actor candidate."

Yet, Chen Jiping hated these types of popular stars the most.

"Something like that? Although Chen Jiping is small-minded, this isn't exactly a small matter," Jiang Yuqian said. "To be honest, there are many examples of actors falling out over competing for a role; it's not just one or two."

"What kind of personality does he have?" Lu Yanhe asked.

When they recorded the show last time, Lu Yanhe had a different attitude, which Chen Jiping had already forgotten, but it definitely wasn't like today.

As soon as he left, Jiang Yuqian burst into laughter and said, "Being cultured really is different. You can retort without giving anyone a handle. I've never seen him look so stifled, wanting to find trouble but unable to."

Even Lu Yanhe, who was praised by so many people.

"Then isn't this an unprovoked disaster for you?"

Chen Jiping: "As expected of a student from Zhenhua University, your eloquence is indeed good."

Lu Yanhe had a pure, innocent smile and said, "Ah? I wasn't retorting; I was just speaking the truth, saying what was on my mind."

"Why are you being so polite, Brother Huang? You've helped me so much. I was mainly afraid you wouldn't be able to help yourself and would start a fight with him," Lu Yanhe said. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have interrupted you."

Huang Kai's eyes revealed a gratitude that went beyond words.

Backstage, everyone was greeting each other and making small talk; this was an occasion that the media and cameras couldn't capture.

In this place, you would see that those stars with the highest heat and popularity on the internet were actually not so high-profile here; in front of their seniors, most were quite humble and polite.

It was also in this place that you could see the social masks of those stars, packaged by makeup, stages, and lighting, becoming relatively more relaxed in social situations behind the cameras. And those highly respected old seniors actually had different personalities; they wouldn't just sit there dignified and kind like mascots, but would enthusiastically recall the past, chat about old times, and sincerely encourage and praise the actors who had made good works in the past year that they happened to have seen.

Here, you would find that even in this era that promotes strength and self, human relationships were still integrated into this industry that was supposedly profit-first.

Xu Bin, the vice president of Beijing TV, was walking among the crowd with his son, Xu Bantian, who had been involved in a scandal, getting to know all kinds of people in the industry.

Rock singer Lang Kequn, who hadn't been active for a long time, also accepted the invitation to be a performance guest at tonight's awards ceremony because his son, Lang Xia, was attending. At this moment, he was with He Yingzi, introducing Lang Xia to various big shots.

Chen Pinhe, the Best Actor who had previously won the Feihong Award and Lingyun Award, stood beside a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, his posture full of respect. Yet, this beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes didn't seem very enthusiastic about Chen Pinhe and kept chatting with others in a calm and elegant manner.

The three popular figures, Jiang Yuqian, Huang Kai, and Lu Yanhe, were instead the "marginalized" ones here.

The actual situation was, of course, not that someone was squeezing them out, but that not many people knew them.

And they didn't have someone like Xu Bin or Lang Kequn, who could speak to this group of people, to lead and introduce them. Those who came to greet them were producers from film and television production companies, as well as some directors and actors. But here, you would find that many people you thought were big shots were not truly at the core.

Luo Yuzhong was a well-deserved top figure and one of the core people of this occasion. He no longer needed awards to prove himself; instead, he was needed to stand up for this award.

He finally remembered these young people in his play and took them around to greet and introduce them to several key big shots. Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kai had met them before, but this was Lu Yanhe's first time seeing them.

Under Luo Yuzhong's introduction, everyone expressed encouragement, either kind or affectionate, treating him completely as a junior who needed to be mentored.

Lu Yanhe only needed to play his role well on this occasion; getting a familiar face in front of everyone was enough.

Lu Yanhe didn't have the mindset of "I want to shine brilliantly across the whole scene."

His personality wasn't that type; it was more inclined toward the "quietly developing" type.

He certainly wouldn't have the thought of "I don't need you people to know me; I can stand on the peak of the mountains by myself."

He had always known that sometimes you don't need everyone to support or appreciate you, but it's best not to let everyone dislike or resist you.

Especially if you want to continue in this industry and haven't become someone who can handle things with ease, if you want to arrogantly act like Sun Wukong and cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, there will be a Buddha to suppress you with the Five Finger Mountain.

The journey to the West to obtain the scriptures had eighty-one tribulations, subduing demons and removing monsters. Only after obtaining the true scriptures and being sealed as the Fighting Victorious Buddha did your "fighting" have a decree and a name.

After the awards ceremony began, the atmosphere at the scene had a sense of honor that everyone had accumulated over many years.

Whether it was the host reviewing the history of the Honghe Awards, or the efforts and contributions of generations of people in television dramas shown in various short films, those works that once dominated the screen and those actors who were once popular appeared in the evening's ceremony in different forms.

Every winner's enthusiastic and excited acceptance speech also moved Lu Yanhe time and time again.

If he hadn't filmed *Golden Age* and *Phoenix Terrace*, Lu Yanhe wouldn't have had such deep feelings. Only after truly experiencing the difficulties, setbacks, and failures that a crew would experience, and experiencing the efforts of everyone solving difficulties, overcoming setbacks, and facing failures together, would one know why the works made by everyone with talent and effort would move everyone at the scene when they were recognized at such an awards ceremony.

This is an industry.

For the Best Supporting Actor award, although Lu Yanhe had long known he wouldn't win, at that moment, his heart still jumped to his throat. Nervousness and unnamed expectations filled his entire chest, as if he were a balloon being inflated, expanding more and more.

Then, the presenter announced that the winner was Lei Mingjia of *Long Days*.

Lu Yanhe let out a breath instantly.

He couldn't hide the disappointment that flashed across his face, but fortunately, he still subconsciously applauded.

Huang Kai, sitting beside him, reached out and put his arm around his shoulder, pulling him toward him; it was encouragement and also comfort.

Jiang Yuqian, while applauding to celebrate for Lei Mingjia, turned back and said to Lu Yanhe, "You'll definitely win next time!"

Comfort has no practical meaning, but comfort has a greater meaning than practical.

Lu Yanhe laughed. It was in the comfort of the two of them that he sorted out and packed up his mood and sincerely applauded for Lei Mingjia.

This late bloomer actor was already forty-two years old. This was his first nomination for an acting award and also his first time winning.

After he went on stage, received the award, and delivered his acceptance speech, before he had said a single word, his eyes turned red, and tears shimmered. All the bitterness of the past many years was in this unspoken sob.

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but be moved.

He applauded even more enthusiastically.

The whole audience was applauding for him.

In this industry, lucky people like Lu Yanhe are the minority, and people like Lei Mingjia who have struggled for many years before being seen by everyone are the majority.

There are even many actors who have never been seen in their entire lives.

Lu Yanhe was truly infected by the atmosphere of the awards ceremony tonight.

It wasn't until the Best Actor award was presented that he became a little more rational, silently praying in his heart that Chen Jiping would definitely not win.

Then, perhaps God heard Lu Yanhe's prayer, and the winner was Jiang Mingzheng of *Long Days*.

Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately remembered, wasn't Jiang Mingzheng the actor who made snide remarks about Huang Kai and Jiang Yuqian?

He just wanted to turn his head to look at them, but realized that there must be cameras filming them right now.

If he turned his head to look at them at this time, he would definitely be caught by the camera, and then it would be screenshotted and posted online, and he didn't know what kind of interpretation it would trigger.

Lu Yanhe controlled his head.

Jiang Mingzheng delivered his acceptance speech and actually mentioned Huang Kai and Jiang Yuqian at the end.

"When I accepted an interview before, I said some things, and as a result, many people misunderstood and interpreted it, saying that I looked down on some very popular actors." As soon as Jiang Mingzheng said this, the expressions of the whole audience changed. Lu Yanhe didn't look at Huang Kai and Jiang Yuqian, but he also realized that their brains were probably a bit messy now. Jiang Mingzheng continued, "What I actually wanted to say wasn't that meaning. In this industry, some actors are very popular, and some actors are obscure, just like me before acting in *Long Days*, obscure. After acting in *Long Days*, I suddenly became popular. What I wanted to express is that popularity is never a standard to measure an actor. It will affect our actors' careers, but it is not a standard to measure our actors' level. That's just what I meant."

To be honest, Lu Yanhe was a bit confused.

It was estimated that the scene was also a bit confused. After Jiang Mingzheng finished this paragraph, no one made any reaction.

It wasn't until Jiang Mingzheng said another "Thank you Honghe Awards" that everyone woke up like a dream and started applauding to express congratulations.

The winner list for this Honghe Awards came out like this.

The new Best Actor and Best Actress were released and instantly climbed to the hot search.

The entry for Jiang Mingzheng's awkward acceptance speech also came with it.

A lot of heated discussions, including Lu Yanhe's disappointed expression the moment he heard the name of the Best Supporting Actor winner, were also screenshotted by people as expected.

An entry inexplicably climbed to the hot search, called "Heartbroken for Lu Yanhe." Ten minutes later, Chen Ziyan forcefully removed this hot search.

Attracting hate.

Lu Yanhe posted a dynamic: Comfort yourself, congratulate Teacher Lei Mingjia, well-deserved! Then, encourage yourself again, keep working hard, and come again next time!

This dynamic was specially modified by Chen Ziyan.

"You must be disappointed if you didn't win the award, but you must show such an attitude at this time."

Lu Yanhe did indeed receive a lot of comfort. He replied to them one by one. At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lu Yanhe did not attend the party organized by the Honghe Awards and returned to Huiziyuanqiao.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the door, he suddenly heard the sound of champagne popping!

"Whoo—" Li Zhibai made a monkey call.

Yan Liang also followed with "Whoo—".

Lu Yanhe looked at them with a surprised face.

Li Zhibai said: "Come, come, come over and toast!"

Li Zhibai poured into three glasses.

Lu Yanhe went over with a surprised and stunned face.

"What is this for?"

"Celebrating that you will definitely win the award next time!" Li Zhibai said with a brilliant smile.

Yan Liang nodded hard, "Celebration wine, celebrating that you will definitely win the award next time!"

Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and laughed incredibly.

"Okay! Celebrating that I will definitely win the award next time, and also celebrating that you will definitely win the award next time!" Lu Yanhe picked up the glass and looked at the two of them with shining eyes, "Come on!"

Friends are people who will help you up when you fall, and also people who will shine a light for you when you are lost.

Lu Yanhe woke up from a sleep, opened his eyes, thinking that *Phoenix Terrace* was finally finished, no need to go for a morning run, can continue to lie on the bed for a while, feeling happy.

The frustration of last night had dissipated a lot, and the comfort and support from friends brought more motivation.

Lu Yanhe had classes in the morning, so he didn't lie for long, got up and cooked himself a bowl of noodles, finished eating, washed the bowl, put on his schoolbag and went out.

In the early spring of March, the spring breeze was still cold and biting, but the sun rose, the sun shone, the spring breeze would bring warmth, and warmth would bring all things back to life.

The various bustle of the Honghe Awards ceremony lasted for about three or four days, and then it slowly settled down.

Winners, with the blessing of the awards, ushered in an upward momentum of "red energy nourishing people."

Although Jiang Mingzheng's speech attracted various complaints of "awkward," "toes digging the ground," and "better not to explain," he finally relied on the influence of *Long Days* and the status of the new Best Actor of the Honghe Awards to officially announce a new S+ level work, attracting attention.

Wan Xin, who won the Best Actress, was also exposed to be in contact with Director Luo Yuzhong's new play.

The entertainment industry is like this, there is always news, and there are always various messages flying all over the sky.

And when Jiang Yuqian officially announced that she would star in Director Liu Zhijiang's *True Fork in the Road*, this big cake made Jiang Yuqian's career fans return again.

Although *Golden Age* did not bring Jiang Yuqian a nomination for the Honghe Awards, it finally successfully sent her to transform and enter the circle of serious dramas.

The March issue of *Jump Up* ushered in a small increase in sales, selling one thousand more copies than the first week of the February issue, and the new serialization of Baduanjin's *I Am Not an Immortal* climbed to the hot search.

After Liu Jiazhen's new book finished the serialization of *Jump Up*, the physical book was listed. A group of stars and artists such as Jiang Yuqian, Huang Kai, Peng Zhixing, and Song Linxin forwarded Liu Jiazhen's new book *Spiral of Silence*, claimed their reader status, and the first week's sales exceeded 150,000 copies, throwing a blockbuster into the publishing industry, which is described by the media as a "sunset industry" every year.

Liu Jiazhen announced that the newly created suspense short story would be published in the April issue of *Jump Up*.

March, spring breeze is proud, full of vitality.

Lu Yanhe, however, disappeared after attending the Honghe Awards ceremony and never came out for public activities again. During this period, he returned to the *Phoenix Terrace* crew for a reshoot, completed the shooting of two magazines in one afternoon, and then had no other work.

A new issue of *City Travel Notes* was launched, still without Lu Yanhe as a "tour guide" guest, but invited another artist, triggering complaints from everyone again. Many voices in the comment area below the program asked whether Lu Yanhe would return to the program.

Xin Zixing was very helpless. Of course, she wanted to invite Lu Yanhe back, but on the one hand, Lu Yanhe's time was too tight and he was very busy. On the other hand, the senior management of Ye Mai Network did not like *City Travel Notes* to have too deep a brand of Lu Yanhe, so their attitude was not very positive, leading to the current situation.

Except for attending classes, Lu Yanhe stayed in the library.

On a rainy afternoon, Lu Yanhe took a nap on the table. When he woke up, he found that Chen Siqi had sent him a message ten minutes ago, which was about Li Zhibai's short story.

The copyright operation agency they cooperated with sold the film adaptation rights of Li Zhibai's short story to a film company, and the adaptation authorization fee was 190,000 yuan, before tax.

For a short story, it's not low.

The key is that this film company is not a shell company, but a serious film company.

Lu Yanhe was pleasantly surprised.

*Jump Up* has taken the first step in copyright operation—even if it is cooperating with another copyright operation agency, rather than doing it yourself.

In March, in addition to being responsible for the content of the magazine itself, Chen Siqi also expanded her editorial team and recruited six new editors, all of whom were part-time, signed part-time agreements, including students without experience and experienced social personnel.

She also removed herself from specific editorial affairs and began to vigorously implement her other ideas.

She flew to Yuming almost every week.

Not to see Lu Yanhe, but for other work.

She started signing writers.

Most of the new writers discovered from the submission mailbox were signed by her.

She said very clearly: "I will not be responsible for you, and I will not guarantee how many manuscripts you can publish and how much money you can earn, but we will provide you with a platform. There will be special editors to communicate with you and help you write. You can not only write short stories but also long stories. We will publish everyone's works together with Jiang Yin Publishing House, provided that we think your works meet the standards of publication. We will also promote your works together with cooperative copyright operation agencies and look for suitable commercial adaptation opportunities, provided that your works have such adaptation potential."

She was only a freshman in the second semester, but Linyu said that Chen Siqi was becoming more and more like an editor-in-chief.

While *Jump Up* was in full swing, the self-media of *Jump Up* was officially renamed "Editor's Club," deleting the three words "Jump Up," aiming to distinguish it from the content of *Jump Up* magazine.

On the self-media of "Editor's Club," there were updates every day, such as film and television reviews, discussions on highly heated social issues, and interviews.

Chen Siqi did not get an interview with Teacher Shi Xia, so she changed her thinking and went to make an appointment with the responsible editor who had cooperated with Teacher Shi Xia for many years and the translator of his works going to sea, and made an appointment with professors and researchers who studied Teacher Shi Xia's works in China.

The interview about Teacher Shi Xia's works was done for three consecutive issues, and the purchase link of Teacher Shi Xia's works was thoughtfully attached at the end of the article. It was not a work published by Jiang Yin Publishing House, which even made many people wonder if "Editor's Club" had commercial cooperation with Shi Xia's publisher.

Chen Siqi directly clarified: "It is purely because our entire editorial department likes Teacher Shi Xia's works very much. Letting more young people read Teacher Shi Xia's works is the original intention of our interview."

Writer interviews are one category, and star artist interviews are another.

"During the promotion period of the work, why don't you come to us for an interview?" Chen Siqi would always find a reason to persuade the artist's team, "We are not a professional entertainment media, but we have the most unique literary style. Our self-media is seriously doing interviews. You can see the interviews we did before."

Others were running vigorously, but Lu Yanhe was busy with his studies.

Then, a month passed by so quickly.

At the beginning of April, Lu Yanhe received a message from Chen Ziyan, woke up like a dream, packed his schoolbag, and went to the school gate.

Zou Dong drove to pick up Chen Ziyan first, and then came to pick up Lu Yanhe.

This season finally had bright spring light, and finally didn't have to dress himself round and round.

Chen Ziyan specially got a haircut, looking still in that bright and atmospheric style.

"Jia Long finally found time." Chen Ziyan said, "He is really a busy person, his time is too hard to make an appointment."

Lu Yanhe saw Jia Long on the day of the Honghe Awards ceremony and suddenly thought that the movie *Lost in Journey* could be played by Jia Long as the role of Xu Zheng.

Therefore, afterwards, he specially sent a message to Jia Long and also sent the script to him.

Lu Yanhe didn't say that the script was written by himself, only asked him to read it.

Jia Long replied to him a week later, saying that the script was very interesting, and asked if anyone asked Lu Yanhe to play that silly young man?

Lu Yanhe didn't say, vaguely made an appointment with Jia Long to meet and talk, Jia Long didn't refuse, and then the two agents began to touch the time, until now.

The place booked by Jia Long was a teahouse.

Lu Yanhe really thought it was for drinking tea. When he arrived at the place, he found that besides drinking tea, he could also drink coffee, milk tea, and other drinks here.

Jia Long was wearing a blue suit, smiling brilliantly, and hugged Lu Yanhe.

"It's been a while, Little Lu."

"Jia Laoshi, hello."

Both sides sat down together.

Jia Long was alone, and Lu Yanhe had Chen Ziyan here.

Chen Ziyan first smiled and chatted with Jia Long for a few words, asking what Jia Long had been busy with recently.

Jia Long said he was preparing for the next movie and was still saving the script.

"Comedy scripts can't be helped. Every line of dialogue must be checked by the actor himself, smoothed out, smoothed into his own words, and combined with his own performance rhythm, otherwise it will definitely not be played well."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

After Jia Long finished speaking, he smiled and asked: "What about Little Lu? Are you in the crew to film?"

"Not yet, after filming *Phoenix Terrace*, I'm going to school." Chen Ziyan explained, "His next play is in the summer vacation."

Jia Long: "The script that Little Lu sent me, *Lost in Journey*, who wrote it? I want to inquire, but I'm afraid of being stared at by others. This script is well written, interesting."

Chen Ziyan smiled and glanced at Lu Yanhe.

Jia Long was stunned, "Why, is it inconvenient to say?"

Chen Ziyan asked: "Jia Laoshi, let me ask one thing first, if I ask you to play, would this be the script you want to play?"

"Of course, I'm afraid of being stared at by others. If it wasn't what I wanted to play, how could I be afraid." Jia Long said with a smile, "Who wants Little Lu to try comedy? I have never thought that Little Lu is so handsome and can play comedy."

Chen Ziyan shook her head and said: "No one asked Little Lu to try comedy, Jia Laoshi, this script was written by Little Lu himself."

She finished sincerely, her eyes falling on Jia Long's face.

Lu Yanhe was the same.

He was a little nervous at this moment.

Jia Long was stunned.

He was really stunned, his eyes didn't turn, for about two or three seconds, his eyes turned again, looked at Chen Ziyan, and then looked at Lu Yanhe.

"Little Lu wrote it by himself?"

At this moment, Jia Long was still thinking about whether Lu Yanhe wrote it with another professional screenwriter.

Chen Ziyan said: "It was written by Little Lu himself."

Jia Long showed an incredible expression, said "Wow," and sighed: "Little Lu, you are so talented!"

Lu Yanhe smiled shyly and lowered his head.

Chen Ziyan said: "This is his first time writing a script. Being able to get your praise as a comedy god, he can be considered relieved. Actually, after I read the script, I felt it was good, but I am not a professional after all. I feel good, and I am afraid that I have a filter for Little Lu. I didn't tell you that Little Lu is a screenwriter before, just to hear your most real opinion and attitude. Now, I can rest assured."

Jia Long laughed and said: "Then thanks to me liking this script, otherwise I would be embarrassed to death if I said this is not good and that is not good."

Chen Ziyan said: "If so, we will silently accept the criticism and then not admit that the script was written by Little Lu."

Jia Long laughed even more.

"Then is Little Lu preparing to write and act by himself?" Jia Long asked.

Chen Ziyan shook her head and said: "For this script, Little Lu doesn't intend to play the protagonist. Both of us feel that those two protagonists are not suitable."

Jia Long looked at them in surprise.

"Not acting?"

"Not suitable, what do you think?" Chen Ziyan said.

Jia Long fell into a state of meditation.

As if thinking seriously for several seconds, he nodded and said: "It is indeed not suitable, but the role of that big handsome guy is suitable for Little Lu."

"I have the same view as you." Chen Ziyan said with a smile, "This is a very good script. I know you have your own team. I don't know if you are willing to cooperate with us to film this movie?"

"You are too suitable for our movie, Miss Lin!"

At this time, He Han was sticking to a girl he met on the road a month ago like a dog skin plaster.

He found various ways to finally find this muse who haunted his dreams through that license plate number.

And it was only at this time that he knew why this girl didn't care about filming at all—it wasn't that he was muttering, even if she refused to film, the reaction of ordinary girls was not that they didn't take filming to heart at all, but that they had other concerns. He had never seen a girl who was not moved by filming at all.

Lin Miaomiao, the daughter of the boss of Arctic Light Video, undoubtedly had such confidence.

Well, that's right, the girl He Han met on the road was Lin Miaomiao.

"Don't bother me, I still have to take the college entrance examination." Lin Miaomiao looked impatiently at the man who had always appeared by her side recently.

He Han said: "Don't fool me, I already knew, you have already obtained the recommendation qualification of Zhenhua University, you don't need to take the college entrance examination at all."

Lin Miaomiao: "... You just go to find someone who wants to film, why are you pestering me?"

He Han: "Because you are suitable, you come to film this movie, and this movie will have its most suitable heroine."

Lin Miaomiao: "You don't need to tell me this kind of thing. I have seen too many shameless directors fooling actors like this."

He Han didn't care about the three words "shameless" at all, and still persevered in attacking Lin Miaomiao, "It's not that I said, with your temperament and your appearance, isn't it a pity not to film? Isn't it a waste?"

"My appearance and temperament are mine. How I want to use them is my business. Pity and waste are not for you to decide." Lin Miaomiao said dissatisfiedly, "I'll tell you one last time, don't bother me anymore, I won't go to film with you!"

Watching Lin Miaomiao get into the car, He Han sighed disappointedly.

He Han returned to the hotel dejectedly, just in time to meet Liu Bige rushing out with a spring breeze on his face.

"What are you doing?" He Han asked Liu Bige.

Liu Bige said: "I have an appointment with Miao Yue to meet later, we are going to talk about the script."

He saw He Han's frustrated face and asked: "Lin Miaomiao still didn't agree to be your heroine?"

He Han nodded and said: "Her attitude didn't loosen at all. No matter what I said, she was impervious to oil and salt. I really said everything I could say, and there is no other way to persuade her."

"If it really doesn't work, forget it, find someone else." Liu Bige said, "Could it be that because she refuses to act, you won't film?"

He Han: "That's what I said, and I understand the truth, but when you have seen the most suitable person, and then look at others, you will only feel that they are substitutes. When you look at them, what you think of in your mind is still Lin Miaomiao."

"Damn, can you pay attention to what you say? This sounds like a scumbag." Liu Bige complained.

He Han didn't have the mood to fight with Liu Bige, waved his hand, "You go find Miao Yue, I'll go back to sleep."

Liu Bige nodded, without any intention of continuing to comfort He Han, and walked away.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan came out of the teahouse, got into the car, and both of them were full of smiles.

Chen Ziyan said: "Jia Long is willing to do this movie, and it is half successful."

Chen Ziyan didn't exaggerate at all. Jia Long is now one of the top actors in the comedy film market. The comedy movies he stars in don't lack investment, let alone the market.

Moreover, Jia Long has his own production team, including familiar collaborators.

If he comes to do this movie, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan can avoid the embarrassment of the newcomer's road of "crossing the river by feeling the stones."

Chen Ziyan looked at Lu Yanhe, her eyes shining, and said: "You thought about letting Jia Long act at the beginning, it was really right. Sure enough, it is the script you wrote, you have ideas about the role, and you can find suitable people."

Lu Yanhe thought, it really wasn't.

He smiled.

"We are producers together with Jia Laoshi, we are at ease, and he is also at ease." Chen Ziyan said, "Especially us, how much worry can we save, and how much can we learn."

Lu Yanhe said: "Well, this time follow him to go through the whole production process, and next time we will have experience ourselves."

Chen Ziyan said: "You have to register a company, so it is convenient."

Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Ziyan, let's register this company together."

"Ah?"

"I will register this production company with you." Lu Yanhe said, "This is something unrelated to my acting career, it doesn't belong to the scope of agency for the contract I signed with Star Entertainment, I definitely can't handle it myself, you come to help me."

Chen Ziyan was stunned and laughed, "This is not me helping you, Little Lu, you can write a script, you can write a script that Jia Long likes at a glance, this is your core creativity, you pull me into your production company, it is letting me take advantage."

"I don't think you took advantage, I think I took advantage. Without you sitting in town, this company will close down in less than three months." Lu Yanhe said bluntly.

He knew where his shortcomings were.

Chen Ziyan hesitated slightly, then nodded and said: "Okay, then let's do it together, I will talk about the share ratio, don't say 5:5."

Lu Yanhe was stunned. He really intended to be 5:5 with Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan obviously didn't want to.

She didn't want Lu Yanhe to suffer, and she didn't want to take advantage of this kind of thing.

For her, it was unnecessary.

The most important thing is not anything else, but Lu Yanhe.

When Chen Ziyan signed Lu Yanhe, she didn't expect that he was so talented. ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
