Chapter 403

However, it is very bad that although the crew's filming is smooth, on this day, it got dark in the mountains earlier than expected.

The light could not meet the requirements of filming, and everyone could only regretfully go down the mountain early.

Fu Kai said: "Although it was not finished in one day, today's filming was smooth. Let's make persistent efforts."

Today's filming was indeed smooth.

No irresistible factors appeared.

Filming on the road like this, the most feared thing is irresistible factors.

When returning to the hotel at the foot of the mountain, Lu Yan He felt that his feet were almost frozen numb.

But the hot water in the hotel was not that hot yet.

Lu Yan He first connected a bucket of hot water for himself, originally wanting to warm his feet, but it didn't have such an effect at all.

Just at this time, Wang Biao came to knock on the door.

"Little Brother Lu, you haven't slept yet, right?"

Lu Yan He responded and said: "The door is not locked, you can come in directly."

Wang Biao came in, holding a long strip-shaped thing in his hand.

"Little Brother Lu, I bought a few quick heaters. I tried the water temperature here during the day, and it didn't burn very hot," Wang Biao said. "I guess you filmed for a day on the mountain, and you must want to take a hot bath."

Lu Yan He looked at Wang Biao in surprise and said shockingly: "Wang Biao, you are too reliable. I was just complaining that the water here is not hot enough."

Wang Biao showed a bright smile and said: "Then I will burn some hot water for you, you soak first, and I will mix the hot water in for you later."

He came in directly, found a basin, heated a basin of hot water for Lu Yan He, and then poured it into his foot-washing bucket.

This is finally hot.

Lu Yan He sighed with satisfaction.

To be honest, the filming conditions of the film *Road of Glory* are the worst Lu Yan He has ever experienced.

Hot water is only one aspect, and there are other aspects.

Lu Yan He slept halfway through the night and suddenly heard the strong wind outside, the howling wind like the whimpering of a monster, revealing an unsettling meaning.

Lu Yan He was not afraid, but in this remote hotel at the foot of the mountain, he felt a little bit hairy in his heart.

It happened that the heating in this room was not good, wrapped in a quilt, and his feet couldn't be warmed up no matter what.

When he got up the next day, Lu Yan He had dark circles under his eyes and didn't sleep well.

Shang Yongzhou looked the same.

Breakfast was noodles made by the hotel owner for them.

There were no conditions here, just a bowl of noodles per person, no toppings, vegetarian, plus one egg per person.

Lu Yan He was really hungry. It is estimated that when the weather is cold, calories are consumed quickly, and hunger is also fast. Lu Yan He finished a bowl and even wanted another bowl.

However, he shouldn't eat anymore.

When filming, pay special attention to the control of body shape. On the big screen, one catty more or less may be very obvious.

Wang Biao prepared two large thermos bottles for him and said: "One bottle is chicken soup, I specifically asked the kitchen to stew it. Little Brother Lu, if you are hungry, you can drink some. The other bottle is warm water."

Lu Yan He was shocked again by Wang Biao's preparation.

Wang Biao said: "Little Brother Lu, don't be too moved. This is all prepared for you according to the requirements of Sister Ziyan and Sister Siqi."

He had a bright smile on his face.

Lu Yan He nodded and said: "Okay, then thank you very much."

Wang Biao said proudly: "It's all what I should do."

After breakfast, prepare to go up the mountain.

Of course, there is no makeup team following the crew here, just one makeup artist, responsible for the makeup and styling of all actors.

The main reason is that everyone in this film is basically "original ecology" on the screen, which is commonly known as plain makeup on the screen.

But compared to pure plain makeup, there is still a gap.

Because they need to be treated more "daily life" for both of them.

Their own images are very good, because they usually have special maintenance, and their skin condition is also very good. Even if they are plain makeup, they are still not very "life-like" after being on camera, so they will specifically let the makeup artist treat them to be a little rough, oily, or even dull.

Fu Kai's requirement for the two of them, they are both ok.

In fact, as long as it is not deliberately ugly, normal actors will accept such requirements.

It takes more than an hour to go up the mountain.

Lu Yan He took his own nanny car. After getting on the car, he put on headphones and listened to music.

Listening to the performance of the latest issue of *Idol Era*.

He has always felt that his talent in music is not very good, so he has always been afraid to be a song copier—because the songs he remembers are really not many, and it is easy to use them up, such as now, occasionally taking out one when needed.

Despite this, he himself likes listening to music very much.

"In this issue of *Idol Era*, your stage feedback is not very good. Some people say your stage is becoming more and more perfunctory."

Zhou Ping'an frowned and looked at Li Zhibai, the latter leaning lazily on the sofa, as if he hadn't woken up, and was still rubbing his eyes with one hand.

Li Zhibai said "um."

"Are you too tired recently?" Zhou Ping'an asked.

"Am I tired? Don't you know best?" Li Zhibai said, "Last night, another live broadcast was arranged for me. This month, I have already gone to two live broadcast rooms to bring goods for people."

"These are all brands you endorse, which are agreed in the contract," Zhou Ping'an said helplessly. "If you are too tired, why don't you ask for leave from *Idol Era* and rest for two episodes temporarily."

Li Zhibai said: "It's the end of the year, it's the most critical time to vote. You ask me to rest for two episodes and make way for Ma Zhiyuan?"

Zhou Ping'an's face stiffened.

"Why are you still targeting him so much? He is completely not on the same track as you anymore."

"Who knows? Since I can act, can't he act too?" Li Zhibai said, "Anyway, the movies we act in don't need any acting skills. No matter how exaggerated the acting is, fans will pay for it. Operate some topics, do some marketing, and it's another Li Zhibai."

Zhou Ping'an's face paused.

He knew why Li Zhibai was in such a dead-like state to him again today.

It was finally a little better some time ago, but today he completely ignored him again.

It turned out that someone had leaked the wind to him again.

These words were said by Zhou Ping'an at the company's senior management meeting two days ago. When talking about Ma Zhiyuan's future development and positioning, these statements were mentioned.

Zhou Ping'an cursed in his heart, which long-tongued woman passed these words to Li Zhibai's ears.

"Zhibai, there is no need for us to be so entangled in this matter. That was just me using you as an example at the company meeting, telling them that Ma Zhiyuan can take this path in the future, not necessarily always being an idol," Zhou Ping'an sighed. "I know you don't like Ma Zhiyuan, but I have never delayed your work because of his affairs. Is there anything you are still dissatisfied with?"

"I ask you, there was a drama called *Winter Hotel* that came to find me before, you pushed it for me, saying that my schedule didn't match, right?" Li Zhibai asked with a straight face.

Zhou Ping'an's heart skipped a beat again and said: "It seems there is such a drama. Your schedule really didn't match. You have to act in other movies later. Liu Bige's new movie is signed, and you are going to film this movie later, right?"

"If I remember correctly, Director Liu Bige's new movie was recommended to him by Yan He in December, so he came to find me, right? You pushed *Winter Hotel* for me in November," Li Zhibai looked at Zhou Ping'an coldly. "I have endured many things before, but you pushed this drama, and then recommended Ma Zhiyuan to go there and let him act in this drama. What do you mean?"

Zhou Ping'an really didn't know what to say at this moment.

He didn't expect that Li Zhibai even knew about this.

"Do you really hope that I change an agent?" Li Zhibai asked, "I'm not joking with you."

Li Zhibai has actually said such words many times.

But no time made Zhou Ping'an feel that Li Zhibai was being serious more than this time.

Zhou Ping'an also knew that this matter was very unkind.

"Zhibai, the reason why this drama was pushed is because it is just a romance drama, and the female lead is Meng Li," Zhou Ping'an said. "It doesn't suit you at all, I must push it away."

"Then why did you give it to Ma Zhiyuan?" Li Zhibai said, "I told you long ago, the resources that come to me, even if they are wasted, are not allowed to be given to Ma Zhiyuan. I don't even want to share garbage with him. I told you long ago."

Zhou Ping'an took a deep breath.

"He is also my artist, Zhibai, don't play a child's temper."

"Do you think I'm playing a child's temper?" Li Zhibai looked at him with a cold face and nodded, "Okay, I know, I have nothing to say to you, you can go."

Zhou Ping'an: "Zhibai, you—"

"I don't want to talk to you, you go," Li Zhibai waved his hand listlessly.

The more he was like this, the more Zhou Ping'an felt bottomless in his heart.

If Li Zhibai was furious with him or threw things at him, Zhou Ping'an wouldn't be so guilty, or even panicked.

Zhou Ping'an knows best how irritable Li Zhibai's personality is.

A person with such a personality just coldly asks you to go.

Zhou Ping'an knows very well that Li Zhibai is really pissed off.

"Zhibai, it will never happen again next time," Zhou Ping'an said immediately.

Li Zhibai looked at the time and said: "The press conference for the second season of *Friends* is about to start. Don't you want to see Yan Liang's performance?"

Zhou Ping'an suddenly felt uneasy.

"If you don't want to go, then I'll go find Yan Liang," Li Zhibai stood up and walked away without looking back.

"*Friends* season two is starting today," Shang Yongzhou saw the news pushed on his phone and said to Lu Yan He.

Both of them are resting now, chatting in the car.

Lu Yan He was quite surprised and asked: "Really? I don't know."

Shang Yongzhou said: "The press conference for the second season is being held."

Lu Yan He leaned over and watched with Shang Yongzhou.

The director of *Friends* season two is still Bai Jingnian.

Except for Lu Yan He being replaced by Chen Ziliang, it is completely the original cast of the first season.

At such a press conference, a reporter asked: "Without Lu Yan He participating in the second season, are you worried that the ratings of the second season will not be as good as the first season?"

"We have confidence in our drama," Bai Jingnian said. "Yan He has always said that *Friends* is the success of collective creation. Everyone in our second season has not slacked off. I hope that the *Friends* series can become a true evergreen series."

"The first season was filmed while broadcasting. This season was filmed and then broadcast. It has eight more episodes than the first season, with a total of sixteen episodes. Is it still a weekly broadcast?"

"Yes, this season is every Friday and Saturday night from 9:00 to 9:30. Please support it."

Shang Yongzhou said: "Actually, the first season was so successful, but you quit directly. I think it's a pity. The first season could be so successful, actually everyone knows it has a lot to do with you. At that time, besides you, this drama had no second highlight. All the publicity models were made by you and your girlfriend. They are almost replicating your set now."

Lu Yan He smiled and said: "It's okay, I have a good relationship with the creative team of the first season, and I am willing for them to keep doing this series. This is a very good sitcom, and many topics can be discussed in it."

Shang Yongzhou nodded, "You really have enough confidence in yourself, believing that you will definitely have works more popular than *Friends* in the future, right? Because you have to know, *Friends* can bring actors a very difficult thing to get, that is national popularity. This thing is something that 99% of film actors cannot get."

People who watch movies must not be as many as people who watch TV series.

In China, this is a realistic situation.

Lu Yan He also understands.

"It's okay, Senior Brother," Lu Yan He smiled, "As you said, I have great confidence in myself, and I will have sitcoms that are no less inferior later."

"Is it the *My Own Swordsman* you exposed before?"

"Yes," Lu Yan He nodded.

"You are not acting in that drama," Shang Yongzhou said.

Lu Yan He: "But I am the screenwriter, the same."

Shang Yongzhou wanted to say that actors and screenwriters are different.

Screenwriters are still behind the scenes after all.

The first thing audiences remember will always be the actors whose faces they can see.

But looking at Lu Yan He's relaxed and indifferent face, such words were not spoken.

Shang Yongzhou doesn't understand Lu Yan He's confidence, and Lu Yan He also knows that Shang Yongzhou doesn't understand.

But he knows what he is doing.

He doesn't lack national popularity. Over the past three years, the thing he lacks most is national popularity.

Therefore, appearing on camera or not appearing on camera has little impact on him. The key is that he is shaping the image of a "creator," or even the image of a "creator." He is not a brush in the hands of a painter, nor is he the five fingers of a pianist. He is a creator. This is the meaning he wants to express.

Best Actor is not his ultimate pursuit.

"Yan Liang, Yan He did not participate in the second season, and Chen Ziliang was replaced to star in this drama with you. After this cooperation, what feelings do you have about the cooperation with Chen Ziliang that you can share with us?"

A reporter asked.

Yan Liang felt that this reporter was deliberately looking for trouble as soon as he heard it.

Stirring up trouble.

Yan Liang turned his head and looked at Chen Ziliang.

The latter's eyes looking at him were a bit complicated.

Because Yan Liang was not very friendly to Chen Ziliang in the crew.

Yan Liang frowned slightly, then withdrew his gaze and said: "Regarding our cooperation, actually everyone just watch the drama. Saying too much at this time will affect the mood of the audience watching the drama."

Wen Minglan also immediately stood up to smooth things over, adding: "Everyone, don't ask us actors to evaluate each other. In the content of this season, our relationships have changed a lot. Don't let the real relationship between us actors affect the audience's understanding of the character relationships in the drama."

At this time, the reporter who just asked said: "We heard that Chen Ziliang, as a new actor who joined the second season, was excluded by you actors of the first season. Is there such a thing?"

Once this question was asked, the whole venue was in an uproar, and everyone looked at them in astonishment.

Yan Liang was also a bit shocked at this moment and felt at a loss. Before the press conference, they preset many questions that reporters might ask, but they never thought that a reporter would specifically make a fuss about the relationship between Chen Ziliang and them.

Others were also a bit at a loss.

They had no experience in answering such questions, and the most critical thing was that they really couldn't play with Chen Ziliang on the set, and the relationship was a bit stiff.

Yan Liang couldn't help but start thinking about how to resolve this problem if Lu Yan He were here.

"I think this question is ridiculous," suddenly, an unexpected voice rang out.

Yan Liang was shocked and turned to look.

The person speaking was Zhan Yun, Zhan Yun who played Li Lili.

Her personality is a bit reckless and impulsive.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Yan Liang subconsciously worried that she would say the wrong thing.

But Zhan Yun had already continued immediately.

"Chen Ziliang debuted many years earlier than us, and he is a big star. When is it our turn to exclude him?" Zhan Yun looked at the reporter who asked the question with dissatisfaction, "Why do you think so? Is there anything that makes you feel this way?"

The reporter laughed and said: "I also heard it."

"Heard it from whom? Who has such a loose mouth?" Zhan Yun was aggressive, "Is spreading such rumors trying to make us bear the charge of bullying Chen Ziliang? Is a star of Chen Ziliang's level something that we newcomers can bully? Don't be too funny, okay? Also, please don't ask such funny questions to the reporter friends who follow, it will look very low-level."

Zhan Yun accused so aggressively, making the atmosphere at the scene very solidified.

Wen Minglan and Bo Jin sat on the left and right of Zhan Yun. Wen Minglan went to hold Zhan Yun's right hand, while Bo Jin looked at Zhan Yun with concern.

Among the three girls, only Zhan Yun usually has the personality of daring to say whatever she has.

Her words, with sharp thorns, even friends like Yan Liang who were sitting next to them felt harsh, let alone the media.

The media exploded like a pot, and they discussed it one after another.

The fact that *Friends* season two was popular before it was broadcast had long been expected by someone. After all, there was a hit in front, and the sequel must be concerned.

However, being concerned and out of the circle in this way is something no one expected and didn't want to see.

Zhan Yun's speech made the media reporters a bit unhappy.

However, the reporter's question also made many drama fans and actors' fans unhappy.

Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?

Sticking to the face and opening big, asking them if they are at odds with Chen Ziliang.

Which normal media would ask such questions at a press conference for a new drama.

Both sides held their own words, and the final result was scolding together.

Lu Yan He and Shang Yongzhou finished filming, and on the car down the mountain, because Shang Yongzhou's driver went down the mountain in advance to help him buy shoes and socks—filming in the ice and snow, shoes were wet one after another, and the last pair today was also killed, and the previous ones hadn't been dried yet.

Shang Yongzhou took Lu Yan He's car down the mountain.

Shang Yongzhou sighed, his face twitching, "My feet are almost frozen numb."

Lu Yan He said: "Senior Brother, why don't you take off your shoes and socks and cover them with clothes? Otherwise, it will take more than an hour on the way back, and you will definitely suffer from the cold."

The car had heating on, and it wasn't cold even if you took off your clothes.

Shang Yongzhou thought it made sense, so he did so.

Lu Yan He immediately took out his phone and took a photo.

"This picture is worth taking a photo to commemorate, tsk tsk, the dignified Best Actor is sorry to wrap his feet with clothes."

Shang Yongzhou: "..."

Then, the two saw the news of *Friends* season two on their phones.

Shang Yongzhou asked curiously: "Why does this reporter look ill-intentioned? He came prepared."

Lu Yan He said: "Feels like it."

"And, asking such questions at the press conference, the heart is punishable," Shang Yongzhou said.

Lu Yan He: "Actually, Zhan Yun is also right. They only slowly became popular last year. Chen Ziliang has been popular for many years. How could they be excluded by them? And, Chen Ziliang's personality, no one can get along with him."

Shang Yongzhou asked: "Do you have a grudge with Chen Ziliang?"

Lu Yan He didn't hide it and nodded directly.

"When I participated in *Small Song Gathering* before, I was ridiculed by him," Lu Yan He shrugged, "Later, there were several unpleasant things, so we have never been on good terms."

"Then why did he join the second season?" Shang Yongzhou was surprised, reacted, and sighed, "Jingtai really did this unkindly."

Lu Yan He: "People are a dignified TV station, where do they need to take care of our little things? If they want to use Chen Ziliang, they use him. Anyway, I don't participate in the second season anymore. If I participated in the second season, maybe I wouldn't be happy, and Jingtai would listen and weigh it, but I don't participate anymore."

"That's true," Shang Yongzhou said, "Actually, this kind of thing is the most annoying. I have encountered this kind of thing before. I filmed a movie, the movie was very successful, but when the producer wanted to develop a sequel, because my schedule didn't match, I couldn't participate, and finally found an opponent of mine to act, which made me angry. I never cooperated with that film company again."

"How was the sequel in the end?"

"It sold okay, it's because it sold okay, so I'm even more angry," Shang Yongzhou said, looking annoyed, looking really angry.

Lu Yan He understood Shang Yongzhou's anger very well.

At this moment, Lu Yan He and Shang Yongzhou finally found some topics to complain about together because of this similar experience.

Shang Yongzhou said: "So you just said that you sincerely hope the second season is good, Chen Ziliang acted, do you still hope it is good?"

"Yes, I hope, but I hope Chen Ziliang's role is scolded, I hope his performance is not liked," Lu Yan He said sincerely.

Shang Yongzhou burst into laughter.

Lu Yan He privately chatted with Yan Liang on his phone, asking how the situation was.

Such a thing happened at the media press conference, presumably Jingtai is also very unhappy.

After all, this can be considered a big scandal.

The new drama starts, it is a big drama that is highly concerned, no one hopes that negative events will appear at this time to affect its broadcast.

Yan Liang said: Zhan Yun was criticized by Jingtai people, and Bai Jingnian is still explaining to people.

??????? co

Lu Yan He also thought that Zhan Yun's speech would definitely be criticized by Jingtai.

After all, her words caused dissatisfaction among most of the media.

This will lead to a negative impact on the media's evaluation of *Friends* season two.

Yan Liang said again: But, Chen Ziliang was scolded even worse.

Lu Yan He was stunned and asked: What's the situation? Why was he scolded? I don't think he said anything at the press conference.

Yan Liang said: This reporter was arranged by him, and the so-called discord and exclusion were all rumors released by his team. He is deliberately selling misery.

Lu Yan He was surprised to hear Yan Liang say this, and felt inexplicably ridiculous because of it.

Chen Ziliang doing this kind of thing is both unexpected and reasonable. He is a person who does this kind of thing.

Lu Yan He: This person is really absolute.

Yan Liang: Jingtai warned him and his team not to have any extra actions, otherwise they would directly treat him coldly.

Lu Yan He: This can also be considered Jingtai lifting a stone and hitting their own feet.

Yan Liang: Who let them find a disaster like Chen Ziliang to act in the second season, deserve it, I really hope there is no him in the third season.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

Lu Yan He suddenly reacted, and it is true, actually, he can find a way to make Chen Ziliang unable to act in the third season, and quit directly after the second season is finished.

That night, *Friends* season two started, and it was still exclusively broadcast on TV.

The ratings for the start broke 2.

This number made Jingtai, who had been tightening the string, breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they kept saying that a drama could not be supported by one actor, they were still worried that Lu Yan He left *Friends* and the audience would not buy it.

Now the real-time ratings broke 2, which shows that the audience still wants to watch it.

This is also normal. A sequel to a big hit, even if one of the leads doesn't act, aren't there other leads?

Moreover, there is also a popular star Chen Ziliang joining, he also has a large number of fans.

Jingtai people are all joyful and smiling.

However, the happy moment did not last long. From the beginning of the broadcast, the ratings of this drama have been falling, although the decline is not large.

Falling bit by bit, by the time the first episode was almost finished, the real-time ratings only maintained at 1.2.

This number is of course a precarious number for *Friends*, which can only be said to be just qualified.

Inside Jingtai, the senior management who were just happy because of the 2% real-time ratings at the beginning of the broadcast were stunned, and immediately asked below, what is going on? Why do ratings continue to fall? It fell by almost one point! -

The ratings of *Friends* season two are not only concerned by Jingtai itself.

The whole industry is paying attention to the ratings of this TV series. Everyone wants to know if this drama can create the glory of ratings again.

If the ratings of *Friends* season two can still replicate the success of the first season, it means that this low-cost sitcom and weekly broadcast mode can be replicated.

Traditional TV stations are not just Jingtai, other TV stations of course also want to replicate such success. Especially, this proves that China can also do series dramas through seasonal broadcasting. The revenue of a big drama is enough to catch up with half the country—this has long been verified.

Then an evergreen series drama means no need to worry for the next two to three years.

This is why *Friends* is so concerned by the industry.

It is a benchmark.

However, the ratings of the first episode of the second season were high and low. Although the average ratings of the episode still reached 1.54%, which is a good start, its trend is not optimistic.

And the evaluation of this drama also affected it.

——It can be seen that the creative team is trying their best to maintain the taste of the first season, but after changing the screenwriter, a mouse poop that can't act came in, making this drama look not as natural as the first season. If the first season was very fresh, short, flat, and fast, without dragging mud and water, the rhythm of this season is more or less delayed.

——Yes, I also think the second season doesn't look very good, at least not as good as the first season. The atmosphere from strange to familiar in the first season, the feeling of friends joking with each other, feels changed this season. Why did Chen Ziliang join this drama? He is really not suitable for this drama at all, and he is as abrupt as if he went to the wrong set in this drama.

——That's right, I can still persist in watching the segments where Chen Ziliang is not there. As soon as Chen Ziliang appears, I feel disgusted.

The voices of these comments are boiling, and the momentum is fierce, rushing the word "ugly" to the hot search.

Once you click on such a hot search entry, it is almost all content related to *Friends* season two, and you can see how big everyone's opinions are.

However, such opinions were actually within Jingtai's expectations early on.

Any sequel to a film or TV drama will be disliked because of the pearl in front.

The key is still tomorrow's second episode, whether the ratings can stabilize. If it can stabilize, then there is no big problem.

If the ratings continue to fall, then there may be a problem.

The problem is big.

The production cost of *Friends* season two is more than doubled.

The salaries of these actors have risen several times, not to mention the additional funds for other production aspects.

Of course, there are still many advertisements.

There are three implanted advertisements alone. Not to mention the theater naming rights.

Jingtai is not willing to let *Friends* season two collapse now.

Therefore, after the first episode was broadcast, many viewers expressed that they could not accept Chen Ziliang appearing in the second season instead of Lu Yan He. Jingtai saw these voices and was also very embarrassed. Clearly knowing that the appearance of a new character will definitely be disliked, but at this moment, I still can't help but think about one thing: is it because Chen Ziliang is too bad, so there will be scolding? -

How should I put Chen Ziliang's situation this time? In fact, many people know that he acted in the second season waiting to be scolded, just to see how long he can persist.

Because once the audience establishes familiarity with Chen Ziliang and begins to accept his existence, he will begin to enjoy the benefits brought to him by this big hit.

However, his persistence requires paying a lot of price. For example, he will be questioned overwhelmingly in the early stage, and will also affect others because of this. Maybe he can't even persist until the time of the willow and the flowers, and he will be scolded so that he can't turn over.

Precisely because of this, Chen Ziliang wanted to overtake in a corner, and by shaping an image of himself being excluded and targeted in the crew because he was a newcomer, he could gain the sympathy and hatred of the audience.

This is a way to overtake in a corner.

It can make the audience accept him as soon as possible, instead of treating him as a newcomer and examining him.

However, things helplessly overturned.

This matter did not reveal the phenomenon of other actors in the crew uniting to exclude and target him at the media press conference as he thought, but was instead retorted by Zhan Yun.

Chen Ziliang almost couldn't help but question Zhan Yun on the spot, didn't you deliberately exclude me, alienate me, and treat me as non-existent?

Chen Ziliang is not a fool. Of course, he has a scale in his heart about how everyone treats him in the crew.

It's just that he himself knows why everyone's attitude towards him is so alienated.

The fact that he wanted to add scenes for himself was not hidden. This is the core reason, and Chen Ziliang himself knows it in his heart. It's just that he, of course, won't say such things.

He just found the side of this matter that was beneficial to him and wanted to borrow the topic to play.

Chen Ziliang's situation became very embarrassing.

Because the ratings of the first episode were high and low, and after the first broadcast, he was the one who was scolded the most.

Then these two things are connected, and he became the person who caused this high and low ratings.

On Saturday, Chen Ziliang still followed everyone to do publicity.

This was arranged long ago.

*Friends* season two, Jingtai arranged very intensive publicity activities for them, just to lift the sedan chair for this drama.

Chen Ziliang gathered with everyone in the backstage.

As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere that was just laughing and laughing instantly solidified.

No one opened their mouth to tell jokes anymore.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ziliang snorted coldly, sat down in his seat, put on headphones, and was too lazy to greet them. He took out his phone and brushed various news on the internet as if no one was there.

Others also took out their phones.

Fortunately, this is an era where tools are very developed and convenient, so even if there is a very annoying person present, you don't have to really not say a word because of his presence.

What you can't say with your mouth, you can say in the group with your phone.

Zhan Yun: I'm really annoyed by this person. Why let this person participate in our publicity activities today? So many people are scolding him, and no one wants to see him. Didn't Jingtai see it?

Bo Jin said: Endure it. No matter what, he is also one of the leads of the second season, and his popularity and popularity are higher than ours. Jingtai also hopes to exert his popularity and influence.

Zhan Yun: If he really has that ability, why come to act in our drama? Just take a big male lead drama and let the whole crew revolve around him. There is no need to be "excluded" here.

Zhan Yun: Really disgusting, this man, how can he say such words.

Wen Minglan: We really don't pay much attention to him.

Zhan Yun: Not paying attention to him is excluding him? Damn, can you be reasonable? Why doesn't he reflect on why he is not paid attention to by us? I almost couldn't hold back when that reporter asked questions yesterday.

Wen Minglan: Fortunately, you still held back, otherwise the news that we are at odds with him would be spread on the table, which has a great impact on our later drama, after all, in the drama, we slowly became friends.

Zhan Yun: I really don't want to act with this person anymore. He actually did the disgusting thing of finding reporters to hype himself.

Yin Xincheng: They are all big stars. The feeling of acting with Yan He at that time was really completely different. Sigh, I actually understand Xiao Yun's mood. I also hate pretending to be friends with him in front of the camera again.

Yan Liang: No matter what, endure everything until the second season is finished. Everything is not as big as our drama. Even if Yan He is here, he would say so.

Yin Xincheng also said: That's right, if Yan He is here, he would definitely say so.

Lu Yan He stood in the biting cold wind and sneezed three times in a row.

Fu Kai heard Lu Yan He's sneezing sound and asked quickly: "Did you catch a cold from the wind?"

Lu Yan He nodded, "A little."

At this time, Wang Biao came over with a large water bottle.

"Little Brother Lu, do you want a cup? To dispel the cold?"

Wang Biao's large bottle today is not just chicken soup, but old ginger stewed chicken, with spicy ginger flavor inside.

Lu Yan He nodded.

So, Wang Biao poured a cup of chicken soup and handed it to Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He drank it in one gulp, from his throat to his stomach, especially comfortable.

"Comfortable." Lu Yan He felt that his internal organs were comforted.

Fu Kai saw this and said: "Your assistant is very reliable, can you give me a cup too?"

Wang Biao looked at Lu Yan He immediately.

Lu Yan He smiled and nodded, saying: "You pour a cup for the director too, we will get more later."

In fact, ordinary crews running to such difficult places to film will have on-set chefs or nutritionists.

But the same sentence, *Road of Glory* is just a small-budget art film, and there is no budget to do these things.

The meals the crew eats every day are booked locally by the life producer.

Sometimes the hotel makes it, sometimes the restaurant makes it and sends it over, and sometimes it is simply finding local people.

Wang Biao's approach is destined to only serve Lu Yan He alone.

First of all, it is very difficult to buy a chicken every day. Not every place has chickens to buy. When you can buy it, you have to buy more, cut it, and put it in a fresh-keeping bag. Fortunately, it is ice and snow, a natural refrigerator, and you are not afraid of breaking it.

Secondly, having raw materials like chicken is not enough, you have to stew it every day.

Originally, Wang Biao was looking for the hotel kitchen to stew, but later he simply bought a casserole and took it with him. Anyway, it is convenient to have a car.

Every day, wherever he goes, he stews, and he will put some supplements in it, just to supplement Lu Yan He's nutrition.

Such an assistant as Wang Biao made Fu Kai jealous.

It's not that only Lu Yan He has an assistant, but Lu Yan He's assistant is exceptionally reliable, plans very well for Lu Yan He, and takes good care of him.

Lu Yan He filming the movie *Road of Glory* in the crew is actually quite wonderful.

Because he has never filmed this kind of drama on the road, he has to change a place to film every few days, always on the road, and the place where he lives is also different from time to time. He can't get used to it because of the long days, and he always has to face new changes in the environment.

Lu Yan He cannot have a sense of familiarity with the shooting environment, and every day is fresh things.

He also slowly walked into the character of Jiang Ying.

If he were to make an evaluation of the character Jiang Ying, he would say that Jiang Ying is a typical person with a "knife face and tofu heart."

He has problems common to adolescent boys, such as being easily stimulated, such as having a big temper, exploding at a touch, and not recognizing his relatives when he is confused.

However, he has the biggest advantage, which is also the biggest background color of his person, that is, empathy and kindness in nature.

Therefore, these two sides constitute the awkwardness in him, and also the cuteness in him.

In the process of playing the character, Lu Yan He has a biggest challenge, that is, he doesn't know what it looks like to be confused, and he can't enter the state of deliberately arguing with you and just not looking at you.

Because it has no logic, and no logic can be combed out.

If you want to interpret this character according to logic, then you have stepped wrong from the beginning.

Therefore, Lu Yan He often calls Li Zhibai and Li Pengfei these two days.

Because the two people around him are closest to the external state of this character.

"Why dare to say whatever you have? Why don't I dare? What's there to be afraid of?" Li Zhibai said just like that, "At worst, don't do the artist industry. Anyway, I won't change myself because I am an artist and have to swallow my anger. There is no need."

Lu Yan He said: "So you have nothing to worry about from childhood to adulthood?"

"It was really rare before. Anyway, no matter what I do, I know my family will cover me," Li Zhibai said, "Now I have restrained a little bit, knowing that some things are not so simple to handle, so it's better to cause less trouble for them."

"Your parents should be very moved to hear this sentence, right?" Lu Yan He asked with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true. They really don't care about my affairs that much. As long as I don't poke a hornet's nest, no one cares about me," Li Zhibai laughed, "Actually, when I was a child, I deliberately caused some things to let them pay attention to me."

"Um?"

"Or when they were there, deliberately not speaking or something, just wanted them to ask me what's wrong," Li Zhibai said and sighed, "You didn't ask me, I forgot, I wanted their attention quite a bit when I was a child."

Lu Yan He suddenly remembered that once Li Zhibai had a birthday, he specifically went home, but no one in the family remembered it was his birthday, and they taught him a lesson about some things during that time, which made him angry and returned to their rental house overnight.

From this point of view, Lu Yan He suddenly understood why Li Zhibai, a rich second-generation and popular idol who was as arrogant as two hundred and fifty, was disgusted with him and Yan Liang, his two roommates, and didn't leave them.

At this moment, Lu Yan He suddenly had a deeper understanding of the character Jiang Ying.

So, is his essence feeling lonely?

A kind of loneliness that is almost instinctive, and the anger of not being able to merge with this world, gave him a hedgehog-like appearance.

Lu Yan He sat in the nanny car, pondering the state of the character alone, stunned.

Suddenly, a commotion sounded outside.

Someone is shouting something.

Lu Yan He came back to his senses and opened the car door immediately.

A cold wind poured in instantly.

The shouting was louder and more piercing.

"Quick, add some effort!"

Lu Yan He saw several people squatting or lying on the edge of the pond in front.

He ran over quickly and found that Fu Kai didn't know how to fall into the pond, his lower body was still splashing in the water, but his two hands had been grabbed by people.

In the middle of winter, everyone is wearing down jackets. This soaking in water makes people as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

People are hard to pull.

Therefore, Lu Yan He also hurried to help, pulling up together, but really couldn't exert any strength.

Zou Dong followed, seeing this, pushed away two people, and stretched out an arm, "Director, you grab my hand."

Fu Kai's face was frozen white, hearing this, he didn't hesitate, very trustingly grabbed the arm Zou Dong handed over, and hugged it directly.

Zou Dong shouted: "Everyone else let go first."

Zou Dong is mainly tall and big, and his strong figure makes people feel safe and convincing.

Everyone followed what he said and let go.

"Come two more people, hug the director's waist."

Under Zou Dong's arrangement, in less than five seconds, Zou Dong exerted force, and Fu Kai was pulled out of the pond like a radish.

"Quick, quick, don't be stunned, go change clothes with me!" The life producer arranged, letting Fu Kai, who was sitting on the ground as if he had lost his strength, get up and go with him.

Fu Kai was shivering all over.

Lu Yan He felt cold just looking at his appearance.

He turned to shout at Wang Biao, asking him to bring that large pot of chicken soup over.

Gurgling, he poured a full cup first.

"Director."

Lu Yan He sent the cup to Fu Kai's mouth.

Fu Kai drank it in one gulp, and finally made a groan.

"Damn—"

The life producer, this big sister, smiled and scolded: "Don't worry about the damn, hurry up, go change clothes with me! Otherwise, you go to the hospital for an injection, and the crew can also stop working."

I don't know if the last sentence stimulated Fu Kai.

He suddenly came back to his senses, stood up tremblingly, and followed the big sister away.

Lu Yan He then had time to listen to everyone explain what happened just now.

It turned out that Fu Kai went to the edge of the pond to smoke, but accidentally slipped in.

Fortunately, someone was watching, otherwise, Fu Kai couldn't swim, and this pond, which was nearly three meters deep, he might really have an accident.

"Where is my senior brother?" Lu Yan He suddenly remembered.

Such a big movement happened, why didn't he see Shang Yongzhou appear?

Everyone heard Lu Yan He ask this, and then remembered that Shang Yongzhou was also missing.

Hurriedly turned to look for it.

Someone found him behind a house more than twenty meters away.

He looked at a window on the wall with a bloodless face.

They called his name, and he seemed not to hear it.

Then, they walked closer, looked along Shang Yongzhou's gaze, and felt hairy at the same time.

A figure hung behind the window, hanging in the house in front of them.

"Ah—" someone's scalp was almost scared off, making a terrified scream.

Two hours later, Shang Yongzhou was also wrapped in a furry blanket, sitting in the car, his face still looking very pale, without easing the blood color.

Lu Yan He looked through the car window and saw Shang Yongzhou sitting in the back seat without a soul, and understood his state at this moment.

If it were him, it might not be much better.

Lu Yan He knocked on the window.

Shang Yongzhou shook his whole body, turned his head to see that the person outside the car was Lu Yan He, then breathed a sigh of relief and opened the car door.

Lu Yan He sat in the car with two steaming coffees and handed one to Shang Yongzhou.

"Senior Brother, drink some coffee, although it's just instant."

Shang Yongzhou held the paper cup with both hands, sent it to his mouth, and took a sip.

"The person you saw... the police conducted a preliminary investigation. I secretly heard them discussing privately and said that it was highly likely suicide. The situation of this person was also introduced by people living nearby just now, saying that he was sick, couldn't afford treatment, and kept dragging it, saying that he might not be able to drag it anymore, so he couldn't help but leave."

Lu Yan He told Shang Yongzhou the story he heard.

Shang Yongzhou nodded with a wooden expression.

He took a deep breath and asked: "How is the director?"

"Greeting everyone to pack things up, the situation today can't be filmed, close the work first."

Shang Yongzhou eased his face and nodded, "That's good."

Meeting several things in a row today cast a shadow over the filming.

Fu Kai and Shang Yongzhou both lost the mood to film.

Lu Yan He is the same.

It's just that Lu Yan He didn't expect that this matter would actually be on the hot search.

The *Road of Glory* crew accidentally discovered a corpse at the shooting scene.
