Chapter 478: Remake

The opening ceremony doesn't give out awards; it's just an opening. Stars from all walks of life take turns on stage, perform programs, tell crosstalk, and engage in things that the masses love to see, just like setting up a stage to sing a play.

For these foreign stars and artists, Lu Yan He doesn't know many of them. Mainly because he doesn't watch many foreign film and television dramas, and he can't finish watching his own domestic ones anyway.

When he and Zeng Qiao went on stage, the cheers from below exceeded their imagination.

It is said that *Silent River* is broadcast well overseas, but Lu Yan He and Zeng Qiao don't have much real feeling. On the one hand, neither of them logs into overseas social media, and staff are helping them operate it, so they can't directly feel everyone's enthusiasm for them. On the other hand, both of them are the kind of people who don't put their minds on popularity and heat. They are already popular enough domestically, and a little more overseas attention doesn't stand out. Even if they went overseas a few times to cooperate with promotional work, they just attended in a check-in style.

This time coming to the Asian Television Awards, they met many foreigners, and every time they opened their mouths, it was "I am watching *Silent River* you acted in." Only then did Lu Yan He and Zeng Qiao realize, oh, it turns out that so many people are watching this play abroad.

The host of this opening ceremony has two people, one of whom is the Korean male actor Kong Lingfan.

He is the male actor with the most prosperous style in South Korea in recent years, and the male lead of two Korean dramas that are popular throughout Asia has made him have many fans.

When Zeng Qiao and Lu Yan He went on stage, it was Kong Lingfan who was responsible for hosting this segment for them.

Lu Yan He and Zeng Qiao talked about some behind-the-scenes stories of the filming of *Silent River* and introduced the reasons why they took the filming of *Silent River*.

Because this drama is very popular, many people want to hear these contents.

Lu Yan He and Zeng Qiao have actually said these contents many times. When the organizer communicated with them about this segment, Lu Yan He also put forward that they have answered these questions many times, will it make people feel relatively boring and have no freshness?

People said that although they have said these questions many times, there are still many audiences who have not seen them.

Therefore, Lu Yan He and Zeng Qiao had to continue to answer these questions for the unknown number of times.

This is also the basic skill of being an artist.

Repeat and repeat, giving as much fresh stuff as possible.

The old-fashioned talk ended, and Lu Yan He and Zeng Qiao prepared to go off stage.

Kong Lingfan suddenly said: "Yan He, please stay."

Lu Yan He turned his head to look at Kong Lingfan with some doubt.

In the original arrangement, there was no operation to let him stay alone.

He didn't know what Kong Lingfan had suddenly done.

Kong Lingfan said in English: "Besides *Silent River*, we all know that you also starred in a *Friends* that everyone likes very much."

Lu Yan He looked at Kong Lingfan in surprise.

This was completely content unrelated to the original communication.

Zeng Qiao was about to go off stage first when he heard the words to let Lu Yan He stay, but Lu Yan He gently grabbed his arm, and he saw the expression on Lu Yan He's face, realizing that this might not be an arrangement communicated by the organizer, so he stayed.

"Just now, I heard a piece of news that our tvn television station has obtained the remake rights of *Friends* and will remake it into a Korean drama," Kong Lingfan said in front of everyone.

The whole venue let out a gasp.

Lu Yan He was also a bit surprised.

"Oh." Lu Yan He nodded, still giving a response relatively decently, not letting Kong Lingfan talk a crosstalk alone on stage.

Kong Lingfan said with a smile: "I am entrusted by tvn television station to ask, are you willing to guest star in the Korean version of *Friends*? We sincerely send you this invitation."

The audience below screamed excitedly.

Below the stage, Chen Ziyan's face was black.

She found the staff who connected with them directly and asked: "What is going on on stage now? These questions were not communicated with us, right?"

The staff also had a collapsed expression and said: "This is not our arrangement either. I just confirmed with the on-site director group, this is not a segment we designed."

Hearing him say this, Chen Ziyan reacted, "Is this Kong Lingfan's own self-assertion?"

"Yes," the staff nodded. "Our director group is talking to him through the headset now, but he doesn't respond."

Chen Ziyan: "Then you go and tell Yan He, let him find an opportunity to come down quickly! No, you take me there directly, I will go and tell him!"

The staff took Chen Ziyan to the director group.

At this time, on stage, Lu Yan He was already responding with a smile.

"Guest star? Hahahaha," he asked Kong Lingfan with a smile, "What kind of role do you want me to guest star in?"

Throw the question back first.

Kong Lingfan immediately said: "This wasn't told to me either, but if you are willing to guest star, I think any role is fine."

Lu Yan He said: "I am an actor in the first season of *Friends*. I have special feelings for this drama. Whether to guest star in other versions of *Friends* is different from general guest starring, and I will consider more."

In the time he fought for, Lu Yan He still thought of a set of rhetoric for himself.

He felt that he had answered like this, and Kong Lingfan shouldn't continue to ask.

But Kong Lingfan seemed to be unrelenting, saying: "Yan He, there are many viewers who like you in South Korea. Everyone must very much want to see you in the Korean version of *Friends*."

Lu Yan He: "For the viewers who like me, thank you very much. Thank you for supporting me!"

This was really a stress response.

Hurry up and express an attitude, not letting yourself fall into the moral disadvantage of "not caring about Korean viewers."

He was really annoyed by this kind of thing some time ago.

Kong Lingfan immediately said: "So are you willing to guest star for the viewers who like you?"

Lu Yan He took a deep breath.

In front of so many people, Lu Yan He couldn't pull his face and walk away.

Otherwise, he would be throwing a tantrum.

"Is it possible that there are no viewers who like me in South Korea? Why only look for Lu Yan He to guest star, and not look for me?"

Zeng Qiao suddenly popped out at this time, forcibly interrupting Kong Lingfan's questioning of Lu Yan He.

He had a playful expression on his face, and he looked a bit jealous, shaking his head.

"I thought *Silent River* had many viewers in South Korea too? Sigh, it turns out there are none." Zeng Qiao sighed.

The next second, the audience in the whole venue let out enthusiastic screams.

Many people were expressing how much they liked and supported him.

There were not so many Korean viewers on the scene, but there were many viewers from other countries. Zeng Qiao had so many fans, how could they let Zeng Qiao fall into the embarrassment of "no viewers" on stage.

Everyone was screaming like crazy.

Kong Lingfan's serial questioning was interrupted because of this.

Just as Lu Yan He couldn't ignore Kong Lingfan and turn around to go off stage under the eyes of everyone, Kong Lingfan, as the host tonight, couldn't ignore such a situation and continue to question Lu Yan He.

Kong Lingfan could only immediately say with a smile as if he had just reacted: "How can that be! Zeng Qiao, you are also very popular in South Korea! Of course we also welcome you very much!"

Zeng Qiao nodded: "Then it's settled. You have to send me the script then."

He put one hand on Lu Yan He's shoulder and said: "We are waiting for your script."

After speaking, he made a tacit look at Lu Yan He and took the opportunity to go off stage.

Kong Lingfan wanted to say something else, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly found that the microphone in his hand had no sound.

He looked down at his microphone in surprise.

Chen Ziyan looked at Lu Yan He and Zeng Qiao walking to the side of the stage without expression, and then turned the sound of Kong Lingfan's microphone back on.

The staff on the side looked at Chen Ziyan with shock and disbelief.

What they found even more unbelievable was that Chen Ziyan's behavior was actually agreed to by the director group.

After Chen Ziyan turned and left, the others looked at each other.

After Lu Yan He and Zeng Qiao went off stage, they thanked him.

"Brother Qiao, thanks to you just now, helping me out."

Zeng Qiao said: "I was a bit strange, and couldn't ask you. They didn't communicate with you in advance, right?"

"Not at all," Lu Yan He said, "I don't even know the person named Kong Lingfan."

"They are also interesting. They didn't say hello in advance, and asked so directly on stage. Is it to borrow you to hype up a topic?" Zeng Qiao asked.

"Maybe," Lu Yan He said, "I don't know why they did these things."

At this time, Chen Ziyan came over.

Seeing her, Lu Yan He asked the first thing: "Sister Ziyan, what was going on just now?"

He knew that Chen Ziyan must have figured it out.

Chen Ziyan said: "It's not the organizer's arrangement, it's Kong Lingfan's own behavior."

Lu Yan He: "Sure enough."

Chen Ziyan looked at Zeng Qiao again: "Thank you very much just now, Zeng Qiao."

"You're welcome. I don't say these things between Yan He and me."

After experiencing some things, Zeng Qiao's relationship with Lu Yan He can be considered to exceed the general cooperative relationship.

Many times, the relationship between people is to experience some challenges and choices before entering the next stage—a deeper stage.

Lu Yan He is like this with many people.

Chen Ziyan: "This is my duty as Yan He's agent to thank you. At such a time, thanks to you helping him out, otherwise, encountering a dog-skin plaster like Kong Lingfan is really difficult."

Lu Yan He didn't return to his seat.

He left the venue with Chen Ziyan in advance.

There was no segment that required him to go on stage later.

Lu Yan He and his party returned to the hotel.

As a result, when they arrived downstairs at the hotel, there were actually a few people waiting in the lobby.

As soon as they appeared, they greeted them, and the opening was an apology.

Zou Dong blocked these people in front of Lu Yan He and the others with the temporary bodyguards arranged here, not letting them approach.

The few people on the other side were wearing formal clothes, some speaking Korean, some speaking English.

Lu Yan He listened for a while before he knew that they were here to apologize for what Kong Lingfan said on stage just now.

They were from Kong Lingfan's agency.

Lu Yan He and Chen Ziyan looked at each other.

This set of things made them confused, not knowing what the situation was.

No matter what, it was not suitable for Lu Yan He to stay in the hotel lobby for a long time.

Chen Ziyan let Zou Dong take them up first, and Wang Biao stayed by her side to continue negotiating with the other party.

About half an hour later, Chen Ziyan came up.

Lu Yan He had already changed his clothes, removed his makeup, and was sitting in a chair looking at his phone.

Chen Ziyan said: "They are here to apologize for Kong Lingfan's behavior. Kong Lingfan's approach, even the people in their agency didn't know in advance. It was his own self-assertion. According to them, Kong Lingfan wanted to strive for the male lead of the Korean version of *Friends* for himself, so he thought of such a trick to get tvn television station to get your guest appearance and increase his chips."

Lu Yan He looked unbelievable and asked: "What the hell?"

"I know, this is very bullshit, but Kong Lingfan might really think that doing so can strengthen his chips. If he had discussed it with his agency, he might not have done so," Chen Ziyan said. "But he is very arrogant, and didn't even communicate with the agency."

Lu Yan He raised his phone and said: "There are already quite a few people on the internet scolding him."

"Oh, that was arranged by me," Chen Ziyan said. "I arranged it when I was still at the scene. I didn't know what the situation was at the time, but no matter what, we have to occupy the first opportunity. I arranged for some people to release the wind, letting others know that Kong Lingfan's words on stage were not communicated with you in advance, and he was deliberately forcing you, making it difficult for you to get off the stage."

Lu Yan He reacted.

"No wonder."

The internet was all speaking for him.

Obviously, Kong Lingfan was also a male actor with high popularity. If the inside story was not known, just by Kong Lingfan's interaction with him on stage, it could only be said that Kong Lingfan was a relatively enthusiastic person.

Chen Ziyan said: "However, *Friends* is actually going to film a Korean version? I really didn't hear this news before."

"I am also very shocked," Lu Yan He said.

Chen Ziyan said: "I didn't expect it. Following Maxine's plan to film an English version, South Korea is also going to remake it. *Friends*, this sitcom, actually has so many people remaking it, which exceeded my expectations."

Lu Yan He said: "This kind of modern background life comedy is valid under any cultural background. It is normal for many people to remake it. Actually, I think *Seventeen Layers* is also very suitable for remaking."

Just then, Chen Ziyan's phone rang.

"Hmm?" Chen Ziyan picked up the phone, took a look, and was a bit surprised, "Someone from tvn wants to meet us."

"Hmm?" Lu Yan He was surprised and asked: "They won't be here to apologize too, right?"

"How is that possible." Chen Ziyan denied this point directly, looking at the information on the phone, not knowing what she thought of, and smiled, "It's really a coincidence. They want to chat with us about remaking several of your plays."

Lu Yan He showed surprise. ===== CHAPTER 479 =====
