Chapter 422: Room on the second floor

Cui Zhixiu certainly didn't say the four words "Oh my god", but the meaning was just that, mainly expressing shock.

Mainly because although Cui Zhixiu had indeed met Lu Yan He at the film festival before, she had never talked to Lu Yan He face-to-face in the current form; she just sat in the media seat and asked questions with other media.

In this situation, Lu Yan He actually remembered seeing her, which made Cui Zhixiu feel incredible.

"How could you remember me? This is too incredible." Cui Zhixiu was surprised again.

Lu Yan He said with a smile, "You are very beautiful, you were sitting in the front row at the time, and you asked me a question."

Cui Zhixiu's expression was even more shocked.

"You actually remember that I was sitting in the front row."

An originally ordinary exclusive interview, because of this episode, made the interviewing reporter Cui Zhixiu a bit out of state at the beginning.

Lu Yan He turned his head and asked, "Is there coffee? Just came from the airport, a bit sleepy, need to refresh."

At this time, Wang Biao suddenly appeared with a thermos cup.

"Here." He opened the thermos cup and put it in front of Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He looked at Wang Biao in surprise.

"How long have we been at the hotel, where did you conjure this from?"

Wang Biao looked proud and said, "I guessed you must want to drink coffee. Just now, after I finished checking in, I went to buy coffee nearby. There is a cafe next to the hotel."

Chen Ziyan said with a smile, "This kid Wang Biao is very clever."

Lu Yan He took a sip and felt refreshed.

He said to Cui Zhixiu, "Come on, I'm in a good state now."

Hearing the translator's relay, Cui Zhixiu said with a smile, "Okay, thank you. Actually, I prepared an interview outline, but I want to ask more now: you have debuted for many years, why can you still maintain such vitality? I have interviewed many star artists, and usually, after debuting for a long time, they often lose the vitality they had when they first debuted. However, I see that you don't treat yourself as a star artist at all, which is really rare."

Lu Yan He was a bit puzzled, not understanding.

"I don't quite understand." He said, "I'm only twenty-one years old, isn't it normal to have vitality?"

Cui Zhixiu corrected, "It's not the vitality of age, what I want to say... is a kind of aura. Many artists who debuted early, even if they are not old, give people a feeling of twilight."

Lu Yan He: "I really haven't thought about this, don't know how to answer, and it's not about maintaining vitality, I haven't actively maintained it. However, although I debuted early, it's actually only been a few years since I started to contact this industry as an artist. I still have very high passion for this industry and my career. In addition, maybe it has something to do with my life experience? I really haven't encountered the kind of huge setbacks that made me change drastically. Most of the people I met were quite tolerant of me. No matter what I said or did, they believed in me and supported me, including my agent. Simply put, I haven't suffered much, and I haven't been bullied much."

Cui Zhixiu: "Haven't been bullied much?"

She seemed very surprised.

Lu Yan He nodded: "The matter of swallowing one's pride hasn't happened to me much."

Cui Zhixiu's face showed unbelievable envy.

"Debuting as an artist in South Korea, whether it's as a singer, an idol, or an actor, it's impossible to say that you haven't been bullied." Cui Zhixiu was really surprised, "Is the entertainment industry environment in China so favorable?"

Lu Yan He: "It's not easy to compare like this. I'm just talking about my own personal situation. To talk about favorable, before I met my current agent, I also encountered those who didn't care about me, who were perfunctory to me. At that time, there were also a few years in a low period, but after that period passed, it didn't leave any shadow in my heart."

Cui Zhixiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then actually you have encountered it, you just didn't let it affect you, which is also really rare." Cui Zhixiu said, "You are a very optimistic person."

"Maybe? I have never been praised for being optimistic." Lu Yan He said and looked at Chen Ziyan, "Sister Ziyan, no one has ever praised me for this, right?"

Chen Ziyan looked at him helplessly and said, "You are indeed optimistic about this matter."

Wang Biao whispered in Zou Dong's ear, "Little Brother Lu is such a pragmatic person, how could anyone say he is optimistic? He will preset the worst result for doing anything."

Zou Dong hugged his chest with both hands and said, "Presetting the worst result, and then going all out to do it, how is this not called optimistic?"

Wang Biao was stunned: "..."

Seems to make sense too?

After the interview, it was time for dinner.

Dinner was also arranged by Zhong Benshuo.

What Lu Yan He didn't expect was that there were quite a few people eating this dinner together.

Zhong Benshuo invited many of his friends in South Korea, just to welcome Lu Yan He.

This was naturally another move by Zhong Benshuo to express his importance to Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He could only cheer up and greet and communicate with everyone. The translator was quite busy, fortunately, a few people inside had good English, and they could communicate in English.

After finally finishing this dinner, Lu Yan He was ready to go back with Chen Ziyan. Zhong Benshuo said that he was also planning to take Lu Yan He to a party to meet some friends in the entertainment industry. Because Chen Ziyan had a work video conference in the evening and couldn't accompany Lu Yan He, Zou Dong and Wang Biao accompanied Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He asked Zhong Benshuo, who were they? He could get familiar with them in advance, so as not to meet them, not know the other party, and not be able to call their names, which would be very embarrassing.

Zhong Benshuo said it was a party held by Korean actor Liu Zhen, and who would come specifically would only be known when they arrived at the scene. However, the parties held by Liu Zhen were always star-studded.

Lu Yan He had heard of Liu Zhen, a Korean Best Actor, who had acted in many films and was very famous in Asia.

"Senior Liu Zhen loves organizing parties very much." Zhong Benshuo said to Lu Yan He, "This time he heard you were coming to South Korea, he said I must bring you over. He really wants to know you."

When they arrived at the place, they found that this party was actually on the grounds of a private residence. From outside the courtyard, they could only hear some laughter, as well as music coming from afar. After the car drove in, drove up a small slope, and turned, a three-story house appeared in front of them.

It was full of people, men and women, champagne and fine wine, in the open-air courtyard, everyone was chatting and laughing wantonly.

The appearance of their car also attracted the attention of some people, casting suspicious glances.

Zhong Benshuo got out of the car first.

And he seemed quite famous; as soon as he got out of the car, some people showed expressions of surprise. Lu Yan He didn't understand what they were saying, but from their demeanor and actions, it could be seen that they recognized Zhong Benshuo, and were also very excited because Zhong Benshuo appeared in this place.

Lu Yan He also got out of the car.

Lu Yan He saw doubt and scrutiny on the faces of the surrounding crowd. They seemed to be a bit puzzled about who he was and why he would appear here with Zhong Benshuo.

Then, some people seemed to recognize him, pointing at him in surprise and saying something to the person next to them.

At this party in a foreign land, Lu Yan He felt like a rare animal being scrutinized. Zhong Benshuo led him forward, Zou Dong and Wang Biao followed behind Lu Yan He. This formation made the people at the scene know that he must have a big background even if they didn't recognize who he was.

People who knew Zhong Benshuo greeted him with smiles on their faces.

Zhong Benshuo responded with a smile. Lu Yan He thought he would stop to greet people, but Zhong Benshuo never stopped.

Walking into the house, passing through the crowd, Lu Yan He saw Liu Zhen sitting on the sofa.

He recognized that face.

Liu Zhen also saw them at the first time, stood up, walked to them in surprise, patted Zhong Benshuo on the shoulder, and then looked at Lu Yan He.

Zhong Benshuo introduced them to each other.

Actually, they both knew each other and knew each other.

Lu Yan He took the initiative to greet first: "Hello Senior Liu Zhen, I am Lu Yan He."

The translator did real-time translation.

Liu Zhen enthusiastically pulled Lu Yan He's arm and hugged him.

"Zhong Benshuo said you would come before, so I told him he must invite you over. I watched *Late Spring* you acted in." Liu Zhen said to Lu Yan He, "It just so happened that I was also in Venice at that time, but it's a pity that I didn't run into you there."

Lu Yan He said politely: "Thank you, I am also your fan, I have watched many of your films, and I like them very much."

The two sides were communicating, and the people around were looking curiously.

Those who knew and those who didn't know all knew that the young man in front of them was an actor from China, and also one of the most popular stars in China.

Many people, even if they didn't know, would show expressions of shock when they heard that *Late Spring* he starred in won the Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival last year.

When it was said again that he was so-and-so in *Seventeen Layers* and *Friends*, some people showed the reaction of "Ah, so it's him!".

This environment made Lu Yan He a bit uncomfortable. The main reason was that he couldn't understand what the people around him were saying, which gave him a sense of exclusion of being out of place.

After greeting Liu Zhen and chatting for a few sentences, about five minutes later, the communication between the two ended with the opportunity to cooperate in filming in the future, and Liu Zhen was called away by someone else.

Lu Yan He didn't become idle because of this.

Zhong Benshuo introduced several Korean actors to Lu Yan He again. Lu Yan He didn't necessarily know their names or faces, but when their works were mentioned, even if Lu Yan He hadn't watched them, he had heard of them.

Lu Yan He greeted everyone politely, got to know each other, and exchanged contact information.

About half an hour later, Lu Yan He was getting to know, greeting, and communicating with different people like looking at flowers while riding a horse, Zhong Benshuo suddenly said: "Yan He, Senior Liu Zhen said there are too many people here, he is waiting for you on the second floor, wanting to have a good chat with you."

Lu Yan He was ready to leave, hearing Zhong Benshuo say this, he had to go to the second floor with him again. Zhong Benshuo suddenly thought of something and said to Lu Yan He: "There is only Senior Liu Zhen in the room, it might not be convenient for your bodyguard and assistant to follow in."

Lu Yan He felt a bit strange hearing him say this.

"It should be okay for them to wait for me at the door?"

Zhong Benshuo hesitated to speak, and finally nodded.

Two big men in black suits stood at the door of the room, looking like bodyguards.

Lu Yan He turned back to Zou Dong and Wang Biao and said: "Brother Dong, Wang Biao, you guys wait for me here."

Zou Dong nodded.

One of the big men in black saw them coming, knocked on the door, and opened it.

Lu Yan He walked in with Zhong Benshuo.

There was actually an ancient-style screen at the door, and one had to go around it to get in.

The light in the room was relatively dim. Liu Zhen was sitting on the sofa inside, one hand on the back of the sofa chair, the other hand hugging a woman dressed very revealingly. The woman held a lighter in one hand and a cigarette in the other, sending it to his mouth, lighting it for him in a sexy posture, her upper body almost pressing on Liu Zhen, the low-cut neckline fully presented in front of Liu Zhen, bright and clear, almost without cover.

Liu Zhen saw them come in and showed a bright smile.

"My little brother is here, sit!" Liu Zhen signaled them to sit on the sofa next to them.

Lu Yan He looked at this scene, his brain was confused. Zhong Benshuo patted him on the shoulder and said: "Sit."

As they sat down, two delicate figures also walked over from the dim corner of the wall.

They walked straight towards Liu Zhen and Zhong Benshuo.

Lu Yan He immediately reacted to what was going on, made a "don't come over" gesture to the woman walking towards him, and said to Liu Zhen and Zhong Benshuo: "Senior Liu, Mr. Zhong, I have a girlfriend." ===== CHAPTER 423 =====
