~14 min read 2,706 words

Kong Fan laughed loudly twice and said: "Okay, I won't say it, but, Yan He, do you really not have a girlfriend yet?"

Lu Yan He looked at him noncommittally, "What about you?"

"I have one," Kong Fan had a bright smile, laughing with spring breeze, "My girlfriend and I have been together for three years."

"Together since high school?"

"Yeah," Kong Fan nodded, with a sweet face, happy.

Lu Yan He curled his lips, "That's good."

Kong Fan said: "Yan He, you and that high school classmate of yours, is there something ambiguous?"

Lu Yan He: "You are quite gossipy."

"Hehe," Kong Fan said, "This is not curiosity, so I'm asking."

Lu Yan He said: "Then you've been asking me for a long time, and I haven't said anything. What do you think the situation is?"

Kong Fan immediately showed an expression of understanding in seconds, making a gesture of zipping his mouth.

Lu Yan He: "..."

He always felt that Kong Fan misunderstood his meaning.

Kong Fan, this person, is a bit jumpy—mainly his way of thinking is a bit jumpy.

He is a complete optimist, a bit like Li Pengfei, but, more thick-skinned than Li Pengfei. Simply put, he is a male version of "silly, white, and sweet." Of course, he is neither white nor sweet, just a bit inexplicably jumpy.

Lu Yan He, as the only two male leads in the film *Late Spring*, usually walks closer to him.

Lu Yan He has to avoid suspicion, now it seems, he also has to avoid suspicion, no wonder he didn't see him spinning around those girls.

I thought today would be a smooth shooting day.

During this period, several actors had a posture of you chasing me, I chasing you, scenes chasing scenes, one more effective than the other.

Liu Bige also sighed that these actors are really good at acting, the more they act to the end, the more things come out.

However, I don't know what happened, Yan Lingyu couldn't get into the state today no matter what.

"I'm sorry," Yan Lingyu herself felt uncomfortable, bowing and apologizing to everyone.

Liu Bige looked at her appearance, knew that she had encountered a low point in her state, didn't say much, just let her rest first, and shoot other people's shots first.

Lu Yan He didn't know what was going on with Yan Lingyu, and others didn't know either, all looking confused.

Yan Lingyu went to the side.

Liu Bige continued to film this play.

Not long after, news suddenly came that Yan Lingyu fainted.

Everyone was startled.

Liu Bige interrupted the shooting and ran over for the first time.

Lu Yan He and the others were all worried about Yan Lingyu.

Yan Lingyu wouldn't be sick, right?

Usually Yan Lingyu looked quite weak.

Yan Lingyu now has no brokerage company, no agent, no assistant, just an ordinary student at school.

At this time, only the film crew can arrange for someone to send her to the hospital and look after her.

Lu Yan He experienced the matter of Teacher Jiang Jun, and had a shadow over this kind of sudden fainting, inevitably worried, worrying if Yan Lingyu also had any undiscovered diseases.

This led to the later scenes not being able to be filmed—something that other film crews wouldn't even dare to think about. Liu Bige directly announced that the shooting would be suspended today and rushed to the hospital in person.

On the one hand, the progress of the film crew's shooting is very smooth, and the progress pressure is not very great. On the other hand, Liu Bige regards these young actors as his younger brothers and sisters. The first play, the first time he selected actors, pulled them into his group, talked for more than half a year before shooting, and met every few days. This kind of emotion is not something an ordinary film crew can have.

Liu Bige couldn't let go.

Lu Yan He also hung his heart with him.

Kong Fan asked: "Should we go to the hospital to see?"

Lu Yan He shook his head for the first time, saying: "It's too chaotic for so many people to go, wait for the examination results from the hospital, it won't be too late for us to visit her later."

Wang Jing looked at him.

He Qingqing said worriedly: "I don't know what's wrong with Lingyu, should we tell her parents?"

"Her teacher and parents have already been contacted, I just heard Brother Liu making a phone call," Wang Jing said.

There was no way to gather together, nothing to do, could only disperse.

Wang Jing looked at Lu Yan He, and Lu Yan He remembered that Wang Jing had an appointment with him to talk about things.

Lu Yan He said: "Where shall we talk?"

Wang Jing shook her head and said: "It's not an urgent matter, let's wait for the news from the hospital first."

Lu Yan He said: "It's okay, say it, we can't do anything else except wait for news now."

Only then did Wang Jing look around, people coming and going, so she said: "Why don't we change to a quieter place."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Wang Jing is actually here to consult Lu Yan He's opinion.

"A brokerage company wants to sign me, I can't make up my mind," Wang Jing said, "You are the only experienced person I know, so I want to ask for advice."

Lu Yan He suddenly realized, so that's how it is.

He asked: "Which company is it?"

"Wenxia Zhiyin."

Lu Yan He didn't expect it to be a familiar company.

Wenxia Zhiyin is the production company of *God Map* and *Sinking Ice*. Of course, it is not rare for film and television production companies to sign actors these days. Almost any film and television company will sign actors themselves.

Lu Yan He said: "This company is quite big, and has made many dramas, but I don't know how they do artist brokerage. Do they have any famous artists?"

Wang Jing said: "I searched on the Internet, Yao Bei and Ning Siyuan are their signed actors."

Yao Bei and Ning Siyuan are considered quite famous actors. Lu Yan He also knows them, but although they are famous, they are not actors at the level of Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kai who can carry a play alone.

Lu Yan He hesitated for a moment and said: "They want to find you to sign a contract, did they promise you any conditions?"

"They promised me a female lead play a year."

Lu Yan He heard this and said: "That's quite good, if they can really fulfill this promise."

Wang Jing: "I don't know if they will fulfill it. I originally wanted to ask my teacher, but I am not like Yan Lingyu and Kong Fan who are from Jingyi. My teacher actually doesn't understand very well, I... I don't know if I should sign a contract with them."

"Why did they suddenly find you to sign a contract, did they tell you?"

Actually, Wang Jing is just an actor without any representative works to everyone now.

A well-known company like Wenxia Zhiyin suddenly took out the condition of "a female lead play a year" to sign Wang Jing. In Lu Yan He's view, it always felt a bit strange, a feeling of being unequal.

Wang Jing shook her head and said again: "Maybe it's because I'm filming this *Late Spring*."

A company's operation of buying stocks in them in advance because they are optimistic about a newcomer also exists.

Lu Yan He: "If you are not in a hurry, I think you actually don't need to make a decision so quickly. You sign a contract with Wenxia Zhiyin now, and you definitely won't get better conditions than after the film is released."

Wang Jing hesitated and asked: "Do you think this film can make us known by the film and television circle?"

Lu Yan He reacted. Wang Jing is not so confident about the situation after the film is released, so she is moved by the olive branch thrown by Wenxia Zhiyin. After all, no one knows if there will be such an opportunity later.

Wang Jing's situation is indeed different from Yan Lingyu and Kong Fan. She is not a student of a famous school. In her school, maybe a few sessions of students can't produce a real actor. So, the insecurity in her heart will also be more.

Lu Yan He said: "I took this film and starred in this film, definitely not because I don't look forward to this film, but to say whether I have such confidence that it can be 100% successful, I don't have such full certainty."

Wang Jing pursed her lips.

"You are only a freshman, I think you can wait," Lu Yan He said sincerely, "You have many choices, you don't need to rush to make a decision at this time. It's not that signing to a big company, they promise you good conditions, is worth you grabbing immediately. When I signed to Star Entertainment, they also promised me a lot, but in the end, when I was out of date and no one knew me, the only thing they fulfilled was the minimum allowance."

Wang Jing looked at him with deep eyes again and asked: "Then do you think I am suitable to be an actor? Can I make it?"

Lu Yan He laughed sincerely.

"As long as you persist, you will definitely make it. You have to believe in Liu Bige's vision. He chose you from so many people, it's not a casual decision. He said one thing very correctly, this is his first time directing a film, but he has been in contact with film for a long time. He knows what good performance is. You are his actor, you should understand this point best."

Wang Jing nodded.

"I understand, I'll go back and think about it carefully," she said, and gave Lu Yan He a bright smile, "Thank you, for answering so much for me."

Lu Yan He said: "Wang Jing, I can't promise you anything, can't promise you will definitely encounter a better signing condition than now in the future, can't promise that the film *Late Spring* will definitely make you known by the industry, and can't promise you will definitely be popular in the future. But to be honest, when I have a role suitable for you, you are an actor I am very willing to cooperate with again. You have such qualifications, so I want to say, don't rush, don't be like me at that time, rashly signed to a company that didn't suit me, and almost lost my job and school at the age of eighteen."

Wang Jing nodded.

"I will seriously consider this matter."

After Lu Yan He finished talking with Wang Jing, he took a car back to Zhenhua.

Everything he said to Wang Jing was from the bottom of his heart.

He was willing to say it because he admired Wang Jing very much. She was not the female lead, but she could grasp every scene and act in a way that left a deep impression on him.

He said so much because he knew he might be the only person around Wang Jing who could say these things to her.

She didn't know anyone else like that anymore.

Lu Yan He rolled down the car window and let the wind rush in.

It was already April weather, the wind was warm, blowing on himself, also very comfortable.

At this time, Liu Bige sent a message.

Yan Lingyu is fine, just fainted from hypoglycemia.

Lu Yan He breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

However, what Liu Bige said next made Lu Yan He's heart skip a beat again.

The reason why Yan Lingyu fainted from hypoglycemia was because she hadn't been eating well, basically eating some boiled vegetables, chicken breast, etc. all day, not eating any staple food, so she fainted suddenly.

She did this to make her state in the later part of the story show a real weakness.

In the later part of the story, she was beaten by her father several times, needing to present not only scars, but also a decadent and fragile state.

Liu Bige was both distressed and annoyed. He was distressed that Yan Lingyu used cruel moves on herself for the shaping of the character, and annoyed that Yan Lingyu acted on her own and ruined her body.

He called every actor to confirm that they hadn't done anything similar to Yan Lingyu in private.

Lu Yan He didn't know what to say after hearing this.

Actors will indeed do all kinds of things to shape characters.

Compared with the exaggerated behaviors in many news, Yan Lingyu's dieting behavior is not much.

But it still shocked Lu Yan He.

Yan Lingyu rested in the hospital for a day and returned to the film crew the next day.

She was very embarrassed, with an awkward smile on her face, apologized to them, saying she caused trouble.

He Qingqing shook her head, "Stop apologizing, really, no wonder I saw your state getting worse and worse, it turns out you weren't eating well."

Yan Lingyu lowered her head, with a look of shame on her face.

At this time, Liu Bige walked over, with a tiger face and said: "If any of you do this kind of act of hurting yourself for the so-called character state again, don't blame me for deleting all your scenes."

This threat was very effective, and everyone's face became serious.

Kong Fan said: "Director, don't worry, I eat very solidly every meal, not discounted at all."

Liu Bige slanted at him, "I said why you look a bit fat on camera, restrain yourself for me!"

Kong Fan: "..."

He Qingqing let out a ruthless mocking sound.

After this small episode occurred, the shooting returned to the normal shooting rhythm.

The later shooting content is becoming more and more important, almost every scene is very important.

Lu Yan He was forced by Liu Bige to approach his limit again and again. When he finished work, his brain was blank, like a walking corpse.

There was a sense of collapse of being squeezed dry.

Others were about the same.

One day, Lu Yan He finished work and was about to get in the car to leave. Wang Jing suddenly came to his side and said: "Yan He, I refused them."

Kong Fan happened to pass by, heard Wang Jing's words, and immediately asked: "Who did you refuse? Refused what?"

Wang Jing: "Not telling you."

Lu Yan He smiled, nodded to Wang Jing, "I'm going back, bye."

Wang Jing watched Lu Yan He get in the car and leave, then turned and left.

Kong Fan's gossip heart burned, chased after her, and kept asking what the situation was.

Wang Jing couldn't help but glare at him, "Why are you so gossipy!"

Kong Fan: "It's not that I'm gossipy, it's that you don't tell me, and my heart feels like it's being scratched by a cat's claws."

But Wang Jing refused to say anything.

The next day, Wang Jing watched Kong Fan scratching his ears and cheeks from time to time, seemingly still wanting to know what the "refusal" she said meant. She couldn't help but just tell him the truth. Who knew he suddenly ran in front of her, with a mysterious and cautious look, and asked: "Did someone confess to you? Who is it? And it's not just one person? It wouldn't be the director, right?"

Wang Jing: "... Do you believe I will tell the director what you just said?"

I knew Kong Fan had a problem with his brain, and his brain circuit had a structure like a winding path, but at this moment, Wang Jing still had the urge to take a deep breath and then pick up the script in her hand and smash it at him.

Kong Fan roared to the sky: "Then what is the situation? I can't think of any other situation! If you don't tell me, I really won't be able to sleep tonight!"
