Chapter 477: Showing Love

This question has to be dug out and asked again every once in a while.

However, as long as *Friends* is still airing and there are new viewers coming in, this question will be raised continuously.

Lu Yan He expressed generously: "The story of *Friends* has not ended. We left, and others joined. This is the norm of life. *Friends* is actually telling the story of such a group of people, right? Some join, and some leave."

The host said with a smile: "We all still hope to see you there. The original cast is the *Friends* in everyone's hearts."

He didn't care at all about what someone who participated in the second season would think if they heard him say this.

They had already been cursed into a sieve.

Being an actor and not being liked by the audience is the original sin.

Lu Yan He hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I dare not say that."

The host was serious, "You can't say that, but I can. The first season of *Friends* is the *Friends* in our hearts."

Lu Yan He looked at the host in surprise, not knowing how to react for a long time.

This is... what's going on?

If he wasn't very sure that this host wasn't someone his team had greeted, Lu Yan He would have suspected whether this host was one of his own.

On the red carpet of the opening ceremony of the Asian Television Awards, in front of all Asians, he said that the *Friends* with him is the *Friends* in the audience's hearts.

To put it mildly, this is slapping Chen Ziliang's face. To put it broadly, it is slapping the face of Jingtai.

Even though Lu Yan He's relationship with Jingtai has eased a lot now, on the project of *Friends*, Lu Yan He is determined not to loosen his mouth and not to look back.

Until now, every day on the internet, people curse Jingtai for not doing human things, letting Lu Yan He leave the *Friends* series.

Jingtai doesn't know how many people are trying to find ways to let Lu Yan He return to this series, but no matter how much they want to, there is no way. Lu Yan He just won't loosen his mouth.

Lu Yan He pondered that he had also answered three questions, and it was almost time to go.

Who knew that this host threw another question.

"Do you have any new filming plans later?"

"Is this host a brain-dead fan of Yan He?" Lu Yan He's number one fan He Lan looked at the live broadcast and complained, "Asked Yan He so many questions, and still won't let Yan He go."

Xu Mingyue sat opposite He Lan, eating a bowl of beef noodles.

Seeing that He Lan put down her chopsticks after Lu Yan He appeared and stared at the phone screen without blinking, she sighed habitually.

Her classmate had been a fan of Lu Yan He for not just a year or two.

Now the two of them, by mistake, had come to work at *Jump Up*.

One is responsible for publishing, and the other is Chen Siqi's editor-in-chief assistant. Both are the pillars of *Jump Up* magazine.

If time went back three years, they might not have imagined that three years later, they would both become employees of the company of that live streamer.

"It's not surprising that the host is a fan of Yan He. We have also done sample surveys overseas. Yan He really has a lot of viewers overseas, and it's not blown out. In a year or two, he has launched well-known works one after another. Even if they haven't watched his plays, they have seen his name in the media," Xu Mingyue said. "Yan He can emerge, strength, effort, and luck are all indispensable. He also put on so many plays in one breath, winning awards, and being popular. Every play has attracted international attention. The only pity is that the influence of these plays in Europe and the United States is not as great as in Asia."

"After all, there is a barrier of cultural background," He Lan said. "Actually, with Yan He's eye for picking plays, I am full of confidence in his future. If there is really someone who can transcend cultural barriers to gain attention in Europe and the United States, I think the one who has this possibility now is Yan He—I'm not saying this because I am a fan of Yan He. In fact, everyone has such expectations. Even Yan He's black fans cannot ignore this point, so even when they black Yan He, they black him for paying more attention to the overseas market and taking the path of internationalization."

Xu Mingyue showed surprise and asked: "Since when has taking the path of internationalization become a black spot for a person?"

"Because you have received domestic recognition, but it's not enough, and you have to go to strive for overseas recognition," He Lan curled her lips. "There are always people who feel that you look down on domestic recognition, so you go to strive for overseas recognition. They didn't look at when Yan He ever licked those foreign filmmakers. Until now, he hasn't acted in a single overseas film or television drama. The honors he has received are all obtained by our Chinese film and television dramas. He went to overseas film festivals, was a bit intimate with those foreigners, and was polite and enthusiastic to people, and a bunch of people were shouting, saying Yan He is too 'licking.' Sometimes I really want to ask them how inferior they are in their bones to understand Yan He's unyielding, advancing and retreating behavior as 'licking'."

Xu Mingyue said with a smile: "Why do you care about the evaluation of these people? You don't look at those who praise Yan He, but only look at these few who deliberately black him."

"If I could see these remarks blacking him and not be angry, then I wouldn't be his fan," He Lan said. "I'm not that rational."

Xu Mingyue: "Lanlan, then if one day you find that Lu Yan He is not what you see, I mean if, what would you think?"

He Lan: "Why would I think about this? Anyway, I feel that he is a person who is consistent inside and out. Now talking about 'if,' I am also full of filters for him."

Xu Mingyue nodded.

He Lan: "But I have known him for so long, I believe he won't. His fans have such high loyalty, isn't it because the longer you know him, the more you will be convinced by his personality charm? Sigh, sometimes I envy Chen Siqi."

After saying this, she suddenly realized that this sentence might cause ambiguity, and immediately added: "I didn't mean that I like Yan He so I'm jealous of Chen Siqi."

Xu Mingyue smiled and nodded, "I know."

"However, Chen Siqi is really quite powerful," He Lan said. "During the time I was her special assistant, I felt that she is younger than us, how come she is so much more powerful than us."

Xu Mingyue: "It was tempered bit by bit. When I was an intern at Jiang Yin Publishing House before, I connected with them. They were still very green. In just a few years, those green breaths were completely invisible."

Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi, this couple, at the opening ceremony of the Asian Television Awards, probably belonged to the youngest couple.

Generally, artists of this age don't dare to make their relationship public, let alone hold each other's hands and appear in such public occasions.

No matter whether they admit it or not, artists of this age mostly rely on the love of male fans or female fans to stand in this ever-changing entertainment industry.

Lu Yan He came to the opening ceremony of the Asian Television Awards this time, one is that he received a nomination, and the other is that he was invited as a specially invited guest.

Besides him, Zeng Qiao also came.

At the opening ceremony, they had a special segment to appear on the same stage to promote *Silent River* again, which had just finished airing.

After entering the inner venue, Zhong Benshuo was the first to greet them.

"Yan He, you are finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you!"

Lu Yan He avoided Zhong Benshuo's arm reaching for him without changing his expression, and smiled at Chen Siqi: "Siqi, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhong Benshuo from Maxine. He is responsible for the project *Silent River*."

Zhong Benshuo immediately said "Aiyo," with a look of sudden realization, and greeted Chen Siqi: "Miss Chen, hello. I've heard of your name for a long time and have long wanted to know you. Today I finally have this opportunity. I am Zhong Benshuo. Seeing the two of you standing together, I really feel ashamed. When I was your age, I was still in college, silly, and didn't know what to do in the future, but you have already achieved such shining achievements."

Chen Siqi pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "With *Silent River* achieving such good results, many people should be jealous of Mr. Zhong, right? At this time, you say you feel ashamed, then they should be jealous and curse you behind your back."

Zhong Benshuo laughed loudly and said: "That is also thanks to Yan He's starring. This drama is because of Yan He that it can get such great attention."

"Mr. Zhong, don't say this to others anymore. The success of a drama is definitely not one person's credit," Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yan He, "Besides, I don't want him to be taken to another woman's room to celebrate."

Chen Siqi's gaze fell straight on Zhong Benshuo.

Zhong Benshuo felt as if he was about to be burned by her gaze on his face.

He was startled and looked at Lu Yan He in surprise.

Chen Siqi actually knew what happened when Lu Yan He came to South Korea last time?

Who would have thought that at such a time, Lu Yan He actually took the initiative to tell Chen Siqi!

Zhong Benshuo looked at Lu Yan He like he was looking at a monster.

Lu Yan He acted as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two of them, and raised his hand with a bright smile to greet someone behind Zhong Benshuo.

Zhong Benshuo: "..."

He didn't even need to look back to know that there was probably no one behind him that Lu Yan He was greeting.

Chen Siqi's playful eyes lingered on Zhong Benshuo's face for a moment before she smiled and took Lu Yan He's hand.

"Mr. Zhong, my family education is relatively strict. If I let you do this kind of thing again, I won't let it go lightly. A woman's jealousy and revenge are very strong. You definitely don't want to experience this from me." Chen Siqi's threat was spoken in a very flat and calm tone at this moment, but it was inexplicably deafening.

After delaying for a while, others finally came over.

Lu Yan He took this opportunity to raise his hand and greet Director Chen Lingling happily.

"Director!"

He turned around enthusiastically and shook hands with Director Chen Lingling.

Chen Siqi also turned around with a smile and greeted Chen Lingling.

"Hello, Director."

Seeing Chen Siqi, Chen Lingling showed a gentle smile on her face, pinched her ear, and said: "It's been a long time since I saw you accompany Yan He out. You are so beautiful, why don't you show it more?"

Chen Siqi waved her hand with a smile, "There are too many girls more beautiful than me in the entertainment industry, right, Mr. Zhong?"

Zhong Benshuo showed an embarrassed look on his face.

At this moment, he was a bit depressed. Why did he study abroad in China and understand Chinese?

Otherwise, he could justifiably pretend to be stupid and not understand at this time.

"No matter how many beautiful girls there are, Yan He only has you in his eyes." Zhong Benshuo suppressed his impatience and said this insincere sentence, which was considered a statement.

Chen Siqi showed a shy smile on her face.

Zhong Benshuo: "..."

Damn it, this couple of men and women who just turned twenty, one is better at acting than the other. He has seen it! -

After Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi exchanged greetings with a series of people, they finally found an opportunity to catch a corner with no one and take a rest.

"It has to be you," Lu Yan He said to Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi snorted lightly, "I've wanted to scold him for a long time. Today I finally caught the opportunity. Let him dare to do this kind of thing again in the future!"

Lu Yan He: "I've been very careful since then. I won't go to a strange place with others so lightly again."

"It's hard to guard against. No matter how hard you guard, you can't resist someone constantly setting traps," Chen Siqi said. "You can't openly tear your face with Maxine now, so I'll play the red face, scolding one by one, to see how many people still dare to pounce."

Lu Yan He stared at Chen Siqi blankly.

Chen Siqi looked confused and asked: "What are you staring at me for?"

Lu Yan He suddenly hugged Chen Siqi.

"Wait, wait—" Chen Siqi was shocked by Lu Yan He's unexpected action, "So many people are watching."

Lu Yan He said: "I'm hugging you right in front of them."

Chen Siqi was so embarrassed by Lu Yan He's sudden move that her face turned red.

"What are you going crazy for?"

"You still say you don't care about this in your heart. You really do care, right?" Lu Yan He laughed. "It's not just the matter of them setting me up, the main thing is that they found other women to seduce me, right? If they used other things to set me up, would you not be so angry?"

Lu Yan He just stared at Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi bit her lip, neither admitting nor denying.

Lu Yan He lowered his head and kissed Chen Siqi's bitten lip.

People around noticed this scene, were stunned for a moment, and then reacted. This couple of men and women in front of them seemed a bit familiar.

Damn, Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi are kissing?!

If this scene happened in Europe and the United States, it would be relatively common. But in Asia, under the cultural and historical background here, there are actually very few people kissing so intimately in public.

After noticing it, Chen Lingling showed a surprised expression.

Only Zhong Benshuo, after seeing it, took a deep breath, turned his back, and rolled his eyes silently. ===== CHAPTER 478 =====
