Chapter 417

"The program 'China in Culture' has also been contacted by Shanghai TV and Jiang TV."

At the new round of meetings, Xin Zixing said the latest news.

"This program is indeed suitable for broadcasting on TV stations," Zheng Huairen said, "However, do you want to put this program on TV stations?"

"I think it's quite suitable," Xin Zixing said, "After all, TV station audiences, to a certain extent, have a greater probability of becoming the audience for this program."

"That's true, they are older," Zheng Huairen smiled.

Lu Yan He felt uncomfortable hearing this kind of sarcastic remark in his heart.

However, the competition between video platforms and TV stations has a long history. There is both cooperation and competition, and the relationship is complex, not something that can be explained in one or two sentences.

Lu Yan He also just endured the discomfort in his heart.

Chen Siqi said: "It's certainly a good thing that this program can be broadcast on both TV and the internet, right? It can further expand influence. Zheng Zong, as a video platform, you actually also shoulder the task of cultural inheritance and dissemination. Since we have reached a consensus to produce this program together, it is a good thing to be able to make its influence greater."

Zheng Huairen asked: "You won't let this program be broadcast with '—'?" (Note: Source text cut off)

"Of course this program won't. Just broadcast it according to the normal rhythm of TV and internet broadcasting," Chen Siqi said, "Actually, none of us expected to make a big profit through this program. For both of us, the value and significance of this program itself are the first priority."

Zheng Huairen looked at Lu Yan He: "I remember Yan He said before that this program might become a phenomenal big hit?"

Lu Yan He shrugged and said: "I did say that we didn't expect to make a big profit through this program, which is our original intention for making this program, and it doesn't affect the final result exceeding our expectations."

Zheng Huairen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Lu Yan He's words.

A thing can be said positively or negatively.

However, this happening to Lu Yan He made him feel a bit unaccustomed. Others are others, and you are Lu Yan He. How can you also do this?

Both of them probably didn't expect that at this meeting, they both felt unhappy because of each other's words.

Although these unhappy things happened, work is about seeking common ground while reserving differences.

"China in Culture" is still continuing to move forward.

"Squid Game" has also started filming.

This web drama gathered an all-star cast, and every actor had representative works and was a face recognized by the media and the audience.

Precisely because of this, the promotion strategy adopted by this drama was consistent with the promotion strategy usually adopted by big productions; the cast was officially announced as soon as filming started.

And such a cast also made this drama live up to expectations and be discussed by everyone.

Among them, the fans of the female lead Jiang Yuqian and the second male lead Liu Zefan provided the most topic heat. Especially Jiang Yuqian's fans. In the past two years, her works have flopped twice in a row, and there were no other projects that looked good. Fans were equally anxious. Now that Jiang Yuqian finally got a very reliable big production, they were actually happier and more excited than anyone else.

The fact that the only screenwriter, Lu Yan He, did not appear in the starring list left the whole internet in an uproar.

Entertainment critic Guan Su Chen said: "This is already the third film and television work that Lu Yan He has written but not starred in. Two movies, 'Lost on Journey' and 'Rouge,' and now the web drama 'Squid Game.' This makes me a bit puzzled. What exactly is Lu Yan He thinking? Actors writing and acting in their own works has always existed, but it is truly rare for someone like Lu Yan He to frequently create scripts himself but not star in them."

Lu Yan He's fans left comments under her post: We fans don't understand either.

There were many people who couldn't understand.

Lu Yan He's Weibo was also flooded with questions from many people.

He didn't explain.

Because it had actually been explained long ago. There was no suitable role; otherwise, he would certainly act in it himself.

He didn't want to repeat the explanation for the same thing over and over again.

In March, a season that should have been warm with flowers blooming, I don't know what happened this year. Maybe the north wind was still lingering in this world and refused to leave easily, and the temperature was still like an old lady climbing a mountain—stumbling.

Lu Yan He appeared on campus. He didn't want to dress too bloated to affect his movement, but it was too cold, and he couldn't just care about his image. Lu Yan He slowly let go of things like image and decided to wear a thick down jacket.

"Lu Yan He, can you walk a bit slower!" Lin Miaomiao's voice sounded from behind him.

Lu Yan He looked back at Lin Miaomiao helplessly.

"Wasn't it you who said it was an emergency?"

That's right, Lin Miaomiao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared again. Ever since she entered Zhenhua's School of Mathematics, she began her reclusive preparation for competitions. She participated in several important international mathematics competitions in one go, basically achieved very good rankings, and became the new generation of academic goddess at Zhenhua School.

And Lin Miaomiao also had a big temper, directly saying in her Moments: I don't like being called a goddess.

When Lu Yan He saw this news on the school forum, he was very surprised. Lin Miaomiao hadn't contacted him for too long, and he hadn't bumped into Lin Miaomiao for too long. Suddenly seeing her news again, he realized that she was so awesome at school.

When Lin Miaomiao suddenly appeared in a panic today, it gave Lu Yan He a start.

Seeing him, Lin Miaomiao also seemed to see a life-saving straw, her eyes lit up, "Lu Yan He!"

Only after asking did he know what was going on.

Lin Miaomiao's boyfriend fell into a pit.

When Lu Yan He heard about this, he was stunned.

What the hell?

There were two points that shocked Lu Yan He:

First, when did Lin Miaomiao have a boyfriend?

Second, what was going on with Lin Miaomiao's boyfriend falling into a pit?

Lin Miaomiao ran forward with Lu Yan He, panting, and said: "Right there, that small woods."

Lu Yan He said: "You two, on such a cold day, don't need to come to this small woods for a date, right? Can't you find a warmer place for a date?"

"None of your business!" Lin Miaomiao snorted.

Lu Yan He: "... Where is he?"

He followed Lin Miaomiao into the small woods. Because this small woods was relatively remote and large, many couples usually came here for dates, or rather, secret meetings, but the premise was that the weather was good.

Like now, when the cold wind was blowing, almost no one stayed here.

Subsequently, Lu Yan He found the pit.

It was actually a big pit more than four meters deep.

Lu Yan He looked down at the person squatting in the pit, looking disheveled, stunned for a long time, and called out hesitantly: "Senior?"

In the end, Lu Yan He still found school security to help before getting Wang Xiao out of the pit.

His left foot was twisted and he couldn't move, so he had to be carried by Lu Yan He to the infirmary.

Lin Miaomiao followed beside them.

Lu Yan He didn't know where to start for a moment.

For this senior who was still serving as the president of the Youth Association in his senior year, Lu Yan He didn't know what to say either.

"This pit is too pit-like!" Wang Xiao's face showed a look of dishevelment, and he couldn't help but excuse himself for this stumble, "I don't know who dug such a big pit there. I must find that person!"

Lu Yan He said: "A big pit more than four meters deep shouldn't have been dug by students, right? You can't dig such a big pit."

Wang Xiao had a straight face.

"Then why did such a pit suddenly appear?"

Lin Miaomiao said: "Changing water pipes? The school did it?"

"What water pipes could there be to change in a woods." Wang Xiao's twisted foot accidentally touched Lu Yan He's leg, and he instantly twitched in pain, sucking in a cold breath.

Seeing this, Lin Miaomiao reminded him: "Be careful."

Both Wang Xiao and Lu Yan He thought Lin Miaomiao was talking about themselves, and said "Oh" in unison.

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but curl her lips and smile.

Only then did Lu Yan He ask: "You two... when did you get together?"

Wang Xiao chuckled and said: "This winter break."

"Winter break?" Lu Yan He was surprised. Isn't this a recent thing?

However, Lin Miaomiao having a boyfriend made Lu Yan He feel relieved.

Wang Xiao said: "We had a study tour project during the winter break and went to Shanghai together."

"Wang Xiao and Lin Miaomiao are together?" After Chen Siqi heard this news, she was equally shocked, and her astonishment was no less than Lu Yan He's.

Lu Yan He: "You didn't expect it either, right?"

Chen Siqi: "I thought Lin Miaomiao liked you."

"Hmm, if I said I never felt that way, would it be too hypocritical?"

"Yes," Chen Siqi said decisively, "However, maybe she doesn't like you anymore now."

"Hmm, maybe so," Lu Yan He said, "When I saw her with the senior, although she was still a bit arrogant as before, the look in her eyes when she looked at the senior was full of tenderness. I don't seem to have ever seen such tenderness in her eyes before."

Chen Siqi: "You observe her very carefully."

"Uh, this is an instinct as an actor, used to observing others," Lu Yan He hurriedly explained.

Chen Siqi: "However, that senior of yours is about to graduate, right?"

"He will continue to pursue a master's degree," Lu Yan He said, "He chose to pursue a master's degree."

"I see."

"My roommates are all preparing to pursue a master's degree, only I am not," Lu Yan He said, "Although I have already made the decision, seeing that I am the only one not pursuing it, I still feel quite lost."

Chen Siqi said: "It's not too late for you to change your mind now."

"Not changing it," Lu Yan He said decisively, "If I really want to pursue a master's degree, I can take the postgraduate entrance exam at any time in the future."

"Just don't regret it yourself," Chen Siqi said, "I really don't like reading much, so I decided not to pursue a master's degree."

This day, Lu Yan He went with Zhou Mukai to Zhao Laoshi Dezhong's office to see him.

Zhou Mukai wanted to pursue his master's degree, and during this time, he had already started working on projects with him. Of course, the part-time editing work for "Jump Up" hadn't stopped either, and he was still doing it.

Lu Yan He went to ask Zhao Laoshi Dezhong for advice on some questions.

After releasing that book list on the "Xueyou" app, many people joined this reading plan, and while reading, they raised many doubts in the form of comments.

Lu Yan He specifically organized these doubts, wanting to ask Zhao Laoshi Dezhong to answer them.

Zhao Laoshi Dezhong readily agreed.

What Lu Yan He didn't expect was that there were other people in Zhao Laoshi Dezhong's office.

It was actually an acquaintance of Lu Yan He.

Deng Siyuan from Jingtai. He was previously responsible for external publicity and liaison at Jingtai, and he was also the person who planned the "Lu Yan He is a genius" promotional video during the promotion of the first season of "Friends," which caused Lu Yan He to be mocked by the crowd.

Deng Siyuan saw Lu Yan He and was also stunned, obviously not expecting to bump into Lu Yan He here.

Zhao Laoshi Dezhong saw that they both came and said: "Minister Deng, the time I made an appointment with the student has arrived. I will consider the matter you told me, and we will contact each other later."

Deng Siyuan stood up, and a smile reappeared on his face.

"Okay, Zhao Laoshi, then I'll wait for the good news." Deng Siyuan went to shake hands with Zhao Dezhong, turned and left. When he brushed past Lu Yan He, he curled his lips at Lu Yan He with a fake smile, "Long time no see, Yan He."

Lu Yan He nodded and said in a voice that was almost impossible for a second person to hear: "Better not to see."

He lowered his eyes expressionlessly, looking at his two shoes as if there was no one else. Deng Siyuan smiled and left.

Zhou Mukai looked at Lu Yan He in surprise. He heard that sentence Lu Yan He said just now.

Zhao Dezhong didn't hear it, but noticed that Deng Siyuan greeted Lu Yan He.

"Do you know each other?"

Lu Yan He nodded, "I guess so."

Zhao Dezhong was a bit surprised and asked: "Why, have you had a conflict with him?"

"There were some conflicts before," Lu Yan He said, "This person has a crooked mind and played some small tricks, making me suffer a bit."

Zhao Dezhong immediately frowned, "He is still this kind of person?"

"Zhao Laoshi, what did he come to you for?"

"Said there is a program on Jingtai, wanting me to participate," Zhao Dezhong said, "Let me go on the program to talk about ancient Chinese literature."

Lu Yan He: "..."

He was a bit astonished.

"Ah?"

Zhou Mukai also cast a suspicious look.

He was a part-time editor at "Jump Up," and he knew very well what Chen Siqi and the others were doing recently.

"Deng Siyuan has now been removed from the publicity department," Hu Siwei explained to Lu Yan He on the phone, "Now he is back to making programs, but I haven't heard that he is preparing a new program."

Lu Yan He said: "He came to school to find my teacher today, inviting him to a program to talk about ancient Chinese literature. This really makes me unable to help but think more. Siwei-ge, we are beating drums and gongs to make a cultural program here, and he is also doing it?"

Hu Siwei: "Could it be a coincidence? It's also possible that he heard some news, so he felt that by doing it with you, this program would definitely be popular?"

Lu Yan He: "Really bullshit, isn't this plagiarism?"

Hu Siwei was silent for a moment.

"If it's just doing a cultural program, that doesn't constitute plagiarism."

"That's true," Lu Yan He knew he was in a hurry.

Frustrated.

He took a breath, let his emotions calm down a bit, and said: "Alright, whatever he does."

Hu Siwei: "What are you trying to achieve by doing this cultural program? I don't quite understand. Are you preparing to start transforming into a program producer?"

"Just trying it out," Lu Yan He said, "Playing around."

"Alright then, I said you are doing well as an actor, why did you run here to grab the producer's rice bowl," Hu Siwei smiled, "Originally, I wanted to buy this program of yours and put it on Jingtai to broadcast. Sigh, unfortunately, Xu Tai felt that no one would watch this program and didn't agree."

Lu Yan He: "It's okay, even if you come to me to buy it, you can't buy it anymore."

"Hmm?" Hu Siwei asked, "Why? Are you preparing to do exclusive internet broadcast?"

"No, we have already sold the first and second rounds of TV station broadcasting," Lu Yan He said.

It's no longer your turn at Jingtai.

Hu Siwei was shocked.

"Is this program so popular?"

"Maybe it's because of cultural significance? Everyone is quite enthusiastic."

Hu Siwei had nothing to say for a moment.

These words of Lu Yan He were not necessarily not said to him on purpose.

Lu Yan He hung up the phone, put his phone in his pocket, tucked his laptop under his left arm, held a cup of coffee in his right hand, pushed open the glass door of the cafe with his body, and walked out.

The cold wind was still bleak.

He hurried back to the dormitory and let out a long sigh.

"Open the door, kind person." He couldn't spare a hand to get the key to open the door, so he could only call his roommate at the door.

Zhou Mukai opened the door from the inside.

Lu Yan He put down the laptop, and the coffee was also placed on the table.

"Are they both not here?"

"Both went to accompany their girlfriends," Zhou Mukai said, "Why did you come back at this time?"

It was 3:00 in the afternoon. Lu Yan He usually didn't have classes at this time and was studying outside.

Lu Yan He said: "The air conditioner in the library is broken. It's too cold sitting there, so I came back."

Zhou Mukai laughed.

"Today I heard Zhao Laoshi call that someone from that day."

"Which someone?"

"It's the person we bumped into in Zhao Laoshi's office that day. Seems to be a program producer, right?"

"Hmm? Oh, Deng Siyuan," Lu Yan He reacted.

"Zhao Laoshi refused him," Zhou Mukai said, "Moreover, Zhao Laoshi also called another teacher. That teacher seems to have also received the same invitation, telling him not to go."

Lu Yan He looked at Zhou Mukai in shock, "Ah?"

Zhou Mukai said: "I also didn't expect that Zhao Laoshi would do such a thing. Not going himself is one thing, but he also called others, telling them not to go."

Lu Yan He thought of Zhao Dezhong's usual serious face and lamented: "I couldn't have imagined it either."

"Do you know what he said to that teacher?"

"What did he say?"

"He said that Deng Siyuan bullied you, and Zhenhua's teachers must support Zhenhua's students."

Lu Yan He took a deep breath, terrified, and said: "This is really not necessary. Zhao Laoshi is too..."

He originally wanted to pretend, but when the words reached his lips, looking at Zhou Mukai, he thought, why pretend at this time.

He immediately changed his expression, "Hmm, Zhao Laoshi is too awesome!"

Let that guy Deng Siyuan go and beat his chest and stamp his feet!

Zhou Mukai saw Lu Yan He suddenly change his face, from the gratitude of "Zhao Laoshi, why go so far" to the pleasure of "Zhao Laoshi is my god," and also laughed.

"Zhao Laoshi is really good to you. I have never seen him care for a student so much."

"Actually, not really. Zhao Laoshi looks serious, but he is actually a person who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. Knowing that I want to read books but just don't want to pursue a master's degree, he even specially prepared a book list for me."

"He hasn't prepared one for anyone else," Zhou Mukai was a bit sour.

After all, he had already started working on projects with Zhao Laoshi Dezhong and was going to pursue a master's degree in the future, but he hadn't received such treatment.

Lu Yan He hooked Zhou Mukai's neck with one hand and said: "Don't be jealous."

A "get lost" reached Zhou Mukai's lips, but due to the restraint of a scholar, he swallowed it back.

After reading books in the dormitory for two hours, in the evening, Lu Yan He went to the cafeteria with Zhou Mukai to eat.

Zhou Mukai said: "Seems like the latest issue of 'Jump Up' is on the shelves. Shall we go buy it later?"

Lu Yan He said: "They will mail it to me. You are an editor, don't they mail you a copy?"

"The copy mailed to me was snatched away by Xiuxiu, and the address was changed to her delivery address. I can only buy it myself," Zhou Mukai said helplessly.

Xiuxiu—Ning Xiu, his girlfriend.

Lu Yan He: "Alright, let's go buy it."

Probably because Lu Yan He has appeared on campus frequently recently, this time when he walked in the cafeteria, everyone's reaction to him was obviously not as big as before, just looking at him a few more times.

Lu Yan He got his meal, turned around, and suddenly bumped into Wang Xiao and Lin Miaomiao, who also came to the cafeteria to eat.

Lin Miaomiao was looking at Wang Xiao unhappily, and no one knew what happened between the two of them.

"Hi," Lu Yan He pretended not to see the unpleasant atmosphere between them and greeted them.

Lin Miaomiao gave an 'hmm' and gave a listless 'hi'.

Wang Xiao was a bit embarrassed and said: "You also came to eat."

"Yes, senior."

Lin Miaomiao didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly turned to look at Lu Yan He.

"Lu Yan He, let me ask you, would you go out alone with another girl without your girlfriend's consent?"

Lu Yan He's two eyes widened instantly, looking at Wang Xiao incredibly.

Wang Xiao immediately looked like he had suffered a great grievance, "It's just work matters for the Youth Association, don't misunderstand!"

Lu Yan He said 'oh' and let out a sigh of relief.

Lin Miaomiao's eye knife immediately swept across.

"Maybe you really are just work matters for the Youth Association, but she definitely has other thoughts about you. My eyes are very sharp, no one's thoughts can be hidden from me," Lin Miaomiao glared at Wang Xiao, "I don't believe she didn't use this opportunity to hint at you. You didn't take the initiative to tell me, which shows you have a guilty conscience!"

Wang Xiao looked bitter and speechless.

"Really not!"

Lu Yan He reacted.

Damn, what's going on with this kind of couple's quarrel suddenly dragging him in?

He looked around, trying to escape through Zhou Mukai.

But there were so many people, he couldn't find Zhou Mukai at all.

Instead, many people around looked at them.

Eating melon.

Lu Yan He looked at them awkwardly, looking at Wang Xiao's distress of not knowing where to start, his expression didn't look fake, and Wang Xiao indeed had a lot of work that required going out with classmates, so it was hard to take care of so much.

He said to Lin Miaomiao: "Have you ever thought that it is possible that the girl really hinted at Wang Xiao as you said, but Wang Xiao didn't understand her hint at all? So, he said he really wasn't hinted at, which might also be true?"

Lin Miaomiao was stunned for two seconds, and hesitantly said 'ah'.
