Chapter 513: Hi! (10,000-word update!)
Lu Yan He rarely drank to this extent. When he woke up the next day, he was still dazed, unable to wake up, lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
After lying on the bed like a pancake in that position for half an hour, he sat up like a ghost, put on his slippers listlessly, and walked out of the room like a zombie.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Li Zhibai stood by the tea station, full of energy, holding a cup, seemingly about to drink water. Seeing Lu Yan He come out, he immediately started his usual sarcastic clicking sounds.
Lu Yan He: "Why are you here?"
Li Zhibai: "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Don't you have work today?" Lu Yan He found his voice was a bit hoarse.
Li Zhibai: "Cancelled."
"Huh? Cancelled? Cancelled last minute?"
"Mm, the brand's chief designer was suddenly exposed for drug use, so today's brand event was cancelled," Li Zhibai shrugged. "They're busy solving that right now."
Lu Yan He: "That really is..."
He said this and let out a huge yawn.
"How much did you drink yesterday?" Li Zhibai asked.
"I don't know, I forgot how I even got back," Lu Yan He said.
"Zou Dong carried you up; Brother Dong is really capable," Li Zhibai said. "I opened the door for you, you forgot?"
"No memory of it."
"Then you blacked out," Li Zhibai laughed.
"I didn't black out, did I? I still remember things in the car," Lu Yan He thought carefully. "However, it seems I only remember things in the car; I must have fallen asleep."
Li Zhibai: "With your alcohol tolerance, although it's improved a bit, the overall level is still very weak. And you dared to drink that much."
"Last night was a table where I had to drink," Lu Yan He sighed. "I won't drink like that again."
Li Zhibai said: "You should have called Sister Ziyan to go with you yesterday. With her there, she wouldn't have let you drink like that."
"I know, that's why I specifically didn't let Sister Ziyan go with me," Lu Yan He sighed. "If she went, in other people's eyes, I would still be that young actor protected by his agent. Last night, I had to set the posture of a junior."
"Why are you so mature now?" Li Zhibai remarked.
"It's alright," Lu Yan He shook his head. "Sigh, I won't talk to you anymore. My head is even dizzier from standing too long. I need to eat something, I'm so hungry. I only drank yesterday and didn't eat much."
Li Zhibai: "There's soup warming for you in the pressure cooker."
"Did you make it?" Lu Yan He looked at Li Zhibai in surprise.
Li Zhibai: "Your wife knew you drank too much yesterday, so she went to a restaurant early this morning to have it made and sent over, and told me to keep it warm for you so you could drink it when you woke up."
Lu Yan He was stunned.
He took a moment to realize that Li Zhibai's casual "your wife" referred to Chen Siqi.
Before this, no one had ever used that term to refer to Chen Siqi.
A warm current surged from the bottom of Lu Yan He's heart.
Lu Yan He laughed.
"Look at that silly smile on your face," Li Zhibai teased.
"So sour, where's the sour smell coming from?" Lu Yan He's smile became even brighter.
Ten minutes later, Li Zhibai was also sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table, drinking the same soup as Lu Yan He, letting out a satisfied sigh.
"This soup is good," Li Zhibai picked up his phone. "I'll ask Chen Siqi which restaurant this is and have her send it to me."
Lu Yan He: "Then take a photo for me while you're at it."
"Take a photo? What photo?" Li Zhibai looked confused.
Lu Yan He showed a happy and satisfied smile and said, "Take a photo of me drinking the soup, and send it to Siqi together."
All expressions disappeared from Li Zhibai's face, leaving only one emotion—speechless.
Lu Yan He made a V-sign.
"Hurry up," he urged.
Li Zhibai stared at Lu Yan He with dead fish eyes for three seconds before reluctantly raising his phone.
Chen Siqi received the message from Li Zhibai, clicked it open, and saw Lu Yan He with a satisfied and happy smile, with a bowl of soup that was already half-finished in front of him.
She even zoomed in on the photo to look at it before exiting and sending the restaurant name and contact information Li Zhibai wanted.
After finishing with Li Zhibai, Chen Siqi opened the chat box with Lu Yan He.
She: Do you feel okay?
Lu Yan He replied quickly: It's okay, still a bit dizzy, but very mild.
Chen Siqi: You rest at home today, don't go out. No more work, right?
Lu Yan He: None. I don't want to go out either, just lying at home. What are you doing?
Chen Siqi: Packing things, getting ready to return to Yuming. The dorm needs to be cleaned, the studio needs to be cleaned, there are too many things, all have to be moved back to Yuming, it's a big project.
Lu Yan He: Then I'll come over to help.
Chen Siqi: Don't come and make a mess. Once you come, everyone will want to entertain you. We're all a mess right now, no time to entertain you. You just wait for us in Yuming, and then you can welcome us back. We'll be there the day after tomorrow.
Lu Yan He laughed and said okay.
Putting down his phone, Lu Yan He asked: "Is Yan Liang very busy lately?"
"Very busy. *Gold Rush* has been hot since March, and the popularity is still quite high. He has taken on a lot of commercial work."
"Huh?" Lu Yan He was a bit confused. Taking on so much commercial work?
"Did Zhou Ping'an arrange it for him?"
"Not really, Yan Liang himself wanted to take them," Li Zhibai said. "He usually has fewer commercial deals. This time, many brands took the initiative to find him, and Yan Liang also wants to open up the situation and make his commercial value higher."
"I see."
Li Zhibai: "Do you know how much you make us envy you now? You basically don't have these miscellaneous jobs anymore. We have to shoot magazines, do commercial deals, record shows every month... Of course, I like doing these things, earning money easily, but sometimes I find it troublesome, one thing after another, and I just want to be able to sit down quietly and do one thing."
Lu Yan He: "How is the preparation for your *Nineteen Years of Crime Records* going?"
"It's okay, the script is finally almost at the first draft," Li Zhibai said. "The two of them aren't fighting anymore, so I don't have to be the peacemaker for them."
"That's good."
Li Zhibai: "Is the post-production of your *Love Letter* done?"
"Almost," Lu Yan He nodded. "It's shaped, but there's still the score and such, still waiting."
Li Zhibai: "So many things."
"Mm, I think so too," Lu Yan He nodded. "So, being a director is not only a brain job, but also a physical job. No wonder they say film is the art of the director, everything has to be decided and finalized by the director. Simply put, what the film looks like is decided by the director."
Li Zhibai: "So your *Love Letter* is prepared to participate in the Xitu'er Film Festival next year, and then be released domestically?"
"Mm," Lu Yan He nodded. "That's the plan, don't know if there will be changes later."
"Liu Bige also said that several film festivals have contacted him, inviting *Can't Even Fake Death* to exhibit," Li Zhibai said. "I just found out that *Can't Even Fake Death*, which is actually very commercial, can also be noticed by film festivals?"
"Actually, film festivals will have some commercial films, but because domestic films that are shortlisted for film festivals are usually art films, it has created such an impression in our country that we think international film festivals only want art films," Lu Yan He said. "Many film festivals, especially top-tier ones, will have some highly anticipated commercial blockbusters to exhibit. Their artistic directors will even come to the film festival for them, visiting three times, more sincere than for big directors' films. Because the more top-tier the film festival, the more it needs attention."
Lu Yan He said with a smile: "It's quite good for *Can't Even Fake Death* to go around the film festival. I believe that even if it is a commercial comedy, Liu Bige will definitely not shoot it in a cliché way."
Li Zhibai shrugged, "I haven't seen the finished film, I don't know, but whatever, it's already filmed anyway."
"Do you have any filming plans later?" Lu Yan He asked.
Li Zhibai shook his head: "One *Nineteen Years*, one *Chinese Paladin* that you are preparing to film next year, that's it. Lin Suyang also said that I don't need to rush to take roles now. I don't lack popularity, nor do I lack inventory. After *Can't Even Fake Death* is released, my market will be even better. Whether it's the scripts that come to me or the pay, they will all be a cut better than now."
"The premise is that the performance of *Can't Even Fake Death* is not bad," Lu Yan He said. "Of course, with Liu Bige's current status in the circle, no matter what the final box office is, the industry will definitely pay close attention to this film. It is, after all, a new work by a big director."
Li Zhibai: "Mm, the film circle's positioning of me now is actually just an idol actor. Let alone the film circle, the drama circle also has such a positioning for me. Of course, this can't be blamed on others. I really did act in a lot of idol dramas before, and haven't acted in many serious, serious dramas."
"*Nineteen Years* is a brand new attempt. If this drama can capture the style and content of the original work, it will definitely surprise everyone."
They say the most convenient path for an actor's transformation is to play a villain well, to make people forget your previous image. The greater the contrast, the more surprising it is.
The villain role Li Zhibai plays in *Nineteen Years* is exactly this kind.
Li Zhibai: "However, I feel that acting in idol dramas is nothing now."
"Of course it's nothing," Lu Yan He said. "I really like the *Wase* you acted in. It's rare to have a drama about love that I watched from beginning to end, not because you acted in it, but because I really like the content of this drama. The theme is novel, the special effects are well done, and the key is that it's not greasy at all. I also recommended this drama to Tom White; maybe HP will buy this drama later."
"If *Wase* looks for you, will you act?"
"I will," Lu Yan He said without hesitation, decisively. "I just haven't received such a good idol drama script before."
Li Zhibai smiled and shook his head, "You'd better forget it. If you act in an idol drama, your fans will probably all call out and say no."
"There are too many things my fans say no to. I don't want to deliberately go against them, but I don't want to be their puppet either," Lu Yan He said. "I always feel that although my work now needs their support very much, I can win their support now, not because I cater to them enough."
"I can't imagine you acting in an idol drama with someone else now," Li Zhibai said. "Actually, you've never acted in one, right?"
Lu Yan He thought for a moment and said: "I haven't acted in a proper idol drama, but I've always felt that my part in *Golden Age* was actually an idol drama plot."
"That... can really be said."
"Right, I've always felt that," Lu Yan He said. "And, actually, I can get so much attention in *Golden Age*, isn't it just because I ate the bonus of the character? Truth be told, it's also because the character I played satisfied many girls' yearning for a boyfriend. The character was too good, so they were substituted with emotions and liked it. I've always felt that there is no drama that must be high-end. Even *Dream of the Red Chamber* can be filmed into a sewer, and there is no drama that must be superficial. 'The fair lady, the gentleman is good' is engraved on our traditional cultural monument."
Li Zhibai: "That mouth of yours, when can I borrow it? Damn, if I were as eloquent as you, I would have swept the entire entertainment industry long ago."
Lu Yan He lowered his head and drank soup with a smile.
At this time, Li Zhibai's phone rang suddenly.
Someone called him.
"Hey, Director Lu Yao called me, I'll take a call." Li Zhibai got up and walked away first.
Lu Yao is the director of *Wase*.
It is normal for directors who have worked together to call.
In fact, if the cooperation is happy, directors and actors are often more likely to become good friends than actors and actors.
This is also a principle of "opposites attract, peers repel" in a broad sense.
Lu Yan He finished the soup, lay comfortably on the floor, put his left hand on his belly, and held his phone with his right hand to watch.
The entertainment industry is still lively recently.
*Gold Rush* director Wu Zhouyou is rumored to be in love with a female star.
*Flowing Light* will welcome the sister-brother love combination of Yan Liang and Zhang Lan—it was scolded miserably by Yan Liang's fans.
Yan Liang's fans are all making a fuss, thinking that he finally succeeded in transforming in *Gold Rush*, why did he go to act in an ancient idol drama again?
Dropping the grade.
His fan leader had to explain everywhere that *Flowing Light* was a contract Yan Liang signed before *Gold Rush* started broadcasting, and it was his first time starring in an ancient idol drama. The character in the drama is very suitable for him, and the setting is different from the general ancient idol male lead. Please keep looking forward to it.
And so on.
Lu Yan He swiped through various information and saw Jiang Yuqian was invited to attend a charity event in the UK. The global popularity of *Squid Game* made Jiang Yuqian bloom inside the wall and be more fragrant outside the wall.
She herself is a first-tier female star in the country, with status, qualifications, and youth. Now she has a representative role globally, and her popularity has risen. With the right time, place, and people, she is almost the person who has eaten the most bonuses from *Squid Game*.
Lu Yan He was swiping his phone when Li Zhibai came back after the call.
Li Zhibai said: "Guess what Director Lu Yao called me to say?"
Lu Yan He shook his head, "How could I guess? Does she want you to act in her new project?"
Li Zhibai shook his head, "No, not right, actually it is. It's that *Wase* has been bought by HP for overseas distribution rights, and it will also be launched on HP like *Gold Rush*. She asked me if I would be willing to return if she makes a second season."
Lu Yan He: "Oh! Congratulations!"
It seems that the success of *Gold Rush* has given Tom White more confidence in *Wase*, which Lu Yan He recommended at the time.
In fact, *Gold Rush* is far from being a global hit.
But because HP's expectations for it were not high, when it could maintain a top-seven position on the Asian broadcast market and viewing count list for a month, and even rushed to the second position at its best, this was enough to satisfy HP.
The distribution price of this drama was only 12 million US dollars. Compared with the procurement price of other first-tier big dramas of HP, it was not a magnitude at all. So, just like some films that only sell for 20 or 30 million US dollars can also be famous globally—because the cost is only 1 or 2 million US dollars, shaping the box office golden body with "small gains," *Gold Rush* is also such a success.
Of course, *Gold Rush* has only been online on HP for less than two months now. What kind of performance it will have later and whether it can maintain the long-tail effect is not certain yet. Not to mention, *Gold Rush* is going to film a sequel. With the launch of the sequel, perhaps the life line and value of this IP will usher in greater growth.
In short, it stood on the stage and proved one thing—Chinese dramas filmed well can also be liked by overseas audiences.
"The audience coverage of *Wase* may not be as wide as *Gold Rush*, because it is a fantasy romance drama after all. But, it's not certain. After all, Korean dramas have established a very solid market in Asia," Lu Yan He said. "And, our Chinese modern romance dramas are also very popular in Southeast Asia."
The influence of modern romance and ancient romance in Southeast Asia is almost the only overseas achievement that Chinese dramas can take out.
Li Zhibai: "Let's see, I don't know how HP will arrange it, but it seems that it will also refer to the *Gold Rush* model, organizing several of us leads to do some promotion."
Promotion is of course to be done.
Even if this is the case, HP has to pay extra for promotional activities—after all, such promotional work is not written in Li Zhibai's appearance contract, and there is no obligation to cooperate. If HP needs them to cooperate, it needs to be negotiated separately.
"HP is still quite generous. As long as they think this money is worth it, they will pay it, and they won't be stingy. In this regard, Maxine is not as good as HP."
"Haha," Li Zhibai asked, "Do you know how many times you've said such things?"
"Huh? Have I said it to you too?"
"You've said it at least three times in front of me," Li Zhibai said. "How stingy is Maxine to you, to make you have such a big grudge."
"Actually, they are not stingy to me. They throw money very fiercely, but their style makes me feel that they are very stingy," Lu Yan He said bluntly. "Speaking of which, the money I earned at Maxine is much more than what I earned at HP, but they gave me the opposite feeling."
Li Zhibai: "It shows that Tom White has an art of being a person."
Lu Yan He: "His style of doing things is indeed worth learning."
Li Zhibai: "However, I don't know if you noticed, it feels like our domestic dramas seem to want to do series more and more."
"Indeed," Lu Yan He said. "*Wase* is fine, it didn't intend to make a sequel at first, but I know *Gold Rush* had this idea from the beginning. It depends on whether the first part broadcasts well. If it's good, then continue to do it. Look at me filming *Seventeen Layers*, it's the same. People created the script according to the trilogy from the beginning."
"Actually, I think everyone saw the benefits brought by the *Friends* sequel," Li Zhibai said. "I heard that although the ratings and word-of-mouth of the second season were not as good as your first season, its final profit was almost double that of the first season. The third season is the same. If the ratings hadn't collapsed too badly later, and sponsors had withdrawn advertisements one after another, the investment promotion before its launch seemed to still be in the top three this year. A big hit series is a cash cow."
Before film and television dramas are officially broadcast, no one ever knows whether it will explode. But the sequel to a big hit drama is always highly anticipated, and the initial results will definitely not be bad. This is why the investment promotion of big hit drama sequels is often exaggerated—sometimes looking back, the first season was more popular, broadcast better, and had more audiences, but it was not as profitable as the second season. That's because the value reflected in the first season, the advance payment that can be obtained from advertisers, was all integrated by the second season.
Why didn't China make series dramas before? The reason is too complicated.
But now everyone is a very pure person—can make money, why not do it? The current environment is too simple. If the drama is not popular, it is a flop, and the flop drama cannot make money. If you can't make money, it is a loss-making business.
This is not the era when bad dramas can still rely on human relationships and operations to eat and drink well.
The news that *Wase* was also bought by HP and will be launched on HP was also reported by domestic media.
This time, with Tom White's last sentence "Lu Yan He also recommended another work to me," everyone doesn't need to ask to know that *Wase* must be this one.
"I really admire it. Lu Yan He doesn't care about other people's views at all, recommending dramas based on relationships."
"Why can't he recommend dramas based on relationships? This is his own network relationship. If he doesn't recommend his friends, does he recommend you who he has never met?" The person who spoke was laughed at.
"He is standing in this position now, having such an ability to recommend Chinese dramas to overseas streaming media, of course he has the responsibility and obligation to do it more generously."
"Wow, you can even say such things?"
At this summer TV drama exchange conference, practitioners from all over the country gathered together, just in time for the *Wase* incident. Naturally, this incident became the exchange theme of this conference.
"However, I think President Guo actually didn't say anything wrong. Yan He is standing in such a position now, and he can actually help our industry, help all of us," another person said. "Of course we can't expect people to help us for no reason. In all fairness, why should we ask people to help us for no reason? There is no such reason, but we can have a good chat with Yan He, how to promote our good dramas through his energy and his channels."
"That's what is said, look at who has succeeded? Can't even see him."
"He this—"
"I heard that today's conference also invited him to attend, but he didn't come."
"People don't take you to play at all," President Guo pouted. "I'll say something unpleasant. I admit that my idea is very selfish, but you tell me, who of you doesn't hope to catch his ride?"
"Then people refuse to carry, how do you catch?"
"So we have to find a way, we can't say people refuse to carry, we really continue to walk bitterly? By then we won't even be able to drink a sip of soup, just give you a bare bowl bottom."
*Golden Age* producer Lei Shuangcheng walked past these people, and their conversation also entered his ears.
These complaints made him smile knowingly.
Lei Shuangcheng only collaborated with Lu Yan He once on *Golden Age*, but because of Luo Yuzhong, he not only kept in touch with Lu Yan He, but when Lu Yan He directed *Love Letter*, he even lent his assistant Zhao Yuheng, who he had brought for several years, to Lu Yan He to be the producer.
Of course, this is also a very good opportunity for Zhao Yuheng.
Otherwise, how could he be so fast to independently be responsible for a project and be an executive producer.
For these words, Lei Shuangcheng was too lazy to take them to heart.
In this line, there are always many people who can say some things that make you feel like you don't even want your face.
Of course, the energy shown by Lu Yan He, even he was very tempted.
Lei Shuangcheng came here this time to stand for his new project and find a buyer.
Although he has collaborated with Luo Yuzhong for many years, he will also do other projects at the same time. What he brought this time is a more experimental project, a soft sci-fi life drama called *Future Life*. New director, new screenwriter, the only famous actor is Zhen Hongyu, others are not very famous actors.
Such a drama, he filmed it, only spent 9.2 million, half of which is Zhen Hongyu's pay—people gave a big discount, and only then accepted this drama with such a pay figure, the condition is that she enjoys 3% of the drama's revenue.
If this drama didn't have Zhen Hongyu, it basically wouldn't be sold. So, this condition is not harsh.
But even with Zhen Hongyu, Lei Shuangcheng found it difficult to find an ideal buyer. This drama was not filmed so commercially—it actually tells the story of a woman changing the way she faces life through a mobile phone that can talk to her future self.
The story is known to be niche as soon as you hear it, even if it can meet the current popular "female life issue" and arouse some topic resonance, it is almost difficult to be popular.
Then why did Lei Shuangcheng make this drama? Such a big producer, he doesn't lack such a small project at all.
Because he took a fancy to the director of this drama and wanted to sign her to his company. This is a meeting gift for people. She wants to film, he supports her to film. She has talent, but this theme and script are not market-oriented enough.
Lei Shuangcheng chatted around at this conference, talked with video platforms and TV stations, but everyone's intention for this drama was indeed not high.
Zhen Hongyu is not a very popular actress at the moment, not better than the popular Jiang Yuqian, Zhang Lan, etc., and there are no other famous actors. The director and screenwriter are newcomers. Such a project, even if you say flowers, people only listen to you for a few more words because of Lei Shuangcheng's face.
Those willing to buy only offered a figure that Lei Shuangcheng was unwilling to accept.
Lu Yan He suddenly appeared in Lei Shuangcheng's mind.
Not anything else.
Maybe Lu Yan He would like this drama? Would think it's a good drama?
If Lu Yan He said this drama is good, would it attract some attention from others?
Before, Lei Shuangcheng would never think that a person has such energy.
Even if a big director like Gongjiang said a play is very good and recommended everyone to watch it, it might not be able to convert many effective viewers, let alone others.
But Lu Yan He's image in the industry in the past year or two is too strange. Not to mention that he has never lost, he is becoming more and more "mythical," giving everyone the impression of "exporting gold," "sharp eyes," and "turning stones into gold."
This time, *Gold Rush* and *Wase* were bought by HP one after another, which also made him unique.
If you can find Lu Yan He to stand for *Future Life*, can it really work?
So, Lei Shuangcheng started to hit Lu Yan He's idea.
"Welcome everyone to Yuming!"
Lu Yan He raised his glass to welcome the mighty fifty-plus people of *Jump Up*.
Except for a small part of the members who stayed in the Jiangguang branch, the main force of *Jump Up* all came to Yuming and will work in the editorial department here in the future.
Lu Yan He's glass was juice.
He didn't intend to drink tonight.
"Eight big prizes have been prepared for everyone tonight. All the prizes are prepared by me and Siqi out of our own pockets. I can't reveal what they are in advance, but I want to say that it is very worth everyone's most high-spirited game spirit tonight to win our eight games."
Lu Yan He held the microphone, "Friends, you just tell me, do you want to have fun tonight?!"
Everyone shouted: "Yes—"
Lu Yan He: "Okay, the former editor-in-chief and family representative have finished speaking, next is your female Boss!"
He smiled and handed the microphone to Chen Siqi, picked up the phone that had been vibrating for a while, and whispered in Chen Siqi's ear: "Lei Shuangcheng called me, I have to answer it, I'll be back soon."
Chen Siqi took the microphone, nodded, and signaled him to go with her eyes.
Lu Yan He walked out of the banquet hall to answer the phone in the corridor.
Zou Dong followed him out, standing two meters away from him, looking around, habitually checking the surrounding environment.
"Brother Lei, what are your instructions?" Lu Yan He answered the phone and asked with a smile.
Lei Shuangcheng: "Instructions dare not, there is a small favor I want to ask you for help."
"You say."
"I made a drama, not very commercial, now it's a bit cold, but the drama is definitely a good drama, I want to ask you to help me recommend it," Lei Shuangcheng said. "I will send the disc to you. If you think the quality is not good and don't want to push it, then forget it, treat it as if I haven't mentioned this matter. If you think it is still in your eyes and are willing to stand for it in your name, then I will take you as a flag to shake it and earn some shouting."
Lu Yan He heard, "Okay, then when will you give it to me? It just so happens that I have nothing to do these two days."
"Are you in Yuming now?"
"Yes, but I'm not at home. Today *Jump Up* editorial department moved to Yuming, we are having a moving party together," Lu Yan He said. "At Yajin Hotel."
Lei Shuangcheng: "Yajin? The Yajin on Wusong Road?"
"Yes."
Lei Shuangcheng said: "Then I am close, driving over for twenty minutes, don't mind me coming to join the fun?"
"Of course I don't mind," Lu Yan He said. "Welcome you to come over, our *Jump Up* has been promoting various novels whose copyrights we have acted as agents for. A producer as powerful as you, coming over today, our team will not let you go easily."
Lei Shuangcheng laughed heartily.
"You group of young people, can still entangle me? Wait, I'll be there soon!"
Lu Yan He sent the address to Lei Shuangcheng, and said to Zou Dong: "Brother Dong, wait a moment, you tell Wang Biao to pick up Lei Zong at the door in ten minutes."
Zou Dong nodded.
Lu Yan He answered this call and returned to the venue. Everyone had already started the first game.
This game is a very vulgar, but also a very classic game, grabbing stools.
Fifty people, first divided into three groups to decide the top five of each group, and then together for the final group, eliminating people round by round.
Just such a game, the scene constantly issued exclamations, screams and various lively sounds.
The game doesn't need to be very complicated, as long as everyone can be immersed in it and enjoy that kind of short, pure happiness, it is enough.
Chen Siqi is the host.
Lu Yan He simply became a photographer, taking photos for everyone on the side.
After about twenty minutes, this first game ended.
The winner was actually Li Bi's assistant Liu Wenwen, which no one expected.
Liu Wenwen burst into laughter and delivered an acceptance speech, saying: "Thanks to my Brother Bi for training my ability to grab the golden position from the crowd. You chickens, how can you compare with me, hahahahahaha—"
Everyone was obviously very familiar with Liu Wenwen, and his way of saying this won unanimous boos.
Li Bi covered his face speechlessly, saying: "Too shameful, this guy actually openly said that he is my assistant, I trained him!"
The prize is a latest high-performance laptop, with a market value of 23,000, which belongs to the top configuration among laptops.
Liu Wenwen was happy and received the prize from Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi smiled and said: "Congratulations to Liu Wenwen, for winning the laptop with the lowest value among the eight prizes!"
The joy on Liu Wenwen's face suddenly paused, "What? The lowest value?"
Chen Siqi said: "Emphasize again, this person is obviously the one who didn't listen carefully just now. Our eight games, the further back, the higher the value of the prizes, so don't be discouraged if you don't win. The further back, the more likely you are to win the big prize!"
The whole audience burst into cheers that seemed to lift the ceiling.
When Lei Shuangcheng came in, he encountered this scene.
He was surprised.
He has participated in many company activities, annual meetings, etc.
Just such a small banquet hall, no LED light screen, no song and dance performance, but the atmosphere is good at a glance.
In particular, it is obvious that the relationship between everyone is very harmonious, which is very rare.
Lei Shuangcheng didn't expect that the internal atmosphere of *Jump Up* team was so good.
"Wait, let me see, who is here?!" Lu Yan He had already received the news from Wang Biao and was already holding the microphone. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he just cut in, "Isn't that the producer of the first play I filmed, *Golden Age*, Lei Zong Shuangcheng?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Lu Yan He's gaze.
Lei Shuangcheng was named suddenly, even though he had seen big waves, he was a bit sudden at this moment.
He was teased by everyone and welcomed to the front.
Lu Yan He said: "Colleagues in the copyright operation department, just now Lei Zong told me on the phone that he is not afraid of our young radishes, he looks down on us."
Lei Shuangcheng was shocked and quickly said: "I didn't say such things, Yan He, you can't add oil and vinegar!"
"You have already wrapped the dumplings and don't allow me to add oil and vinegar? There is no such reason."
Lu Yan He smiled and finished saying to Lei Shuangcheng, then faced everyone: "Today, Lei Zong must see the power of our *Jump Up*. The novels that can be published in our *Jump Up* magazine are all the best novels. If you can't make Lei Zong realize the value of our novels being adapted into film and television dramas, it is our work that has not been done well. So, Lei Zong, before the game ends today, you can't leave."
Lei Shuangcheng was stunned, thinking that Lu Yan He was going to greet these people to engage him.
This kind of link is never strange to him.
Drinking? He alone drinks so many people? Lu Yan He, do you want your face?
It seems that I can't go back well today.
Lei Shuangcheng was thinking this way, and suddenly heard Lu Yan He continue to say: "Everyone, next we have seven games. Lei Zong said he is not afraid of our young people, then let's compare with him. Lei Zong, in our game competition, there are prizes to take. Do you have to give some additions?"
"What stuff? A guest like me is still asked to give additions?" Lei Shuangcheng laughed.
"Can't let you have the opportunity to win our big prize, not give us any wool?" Lu Yan He said.
Lei Shuangcheng: "You say, what additions do you want?"
Lu Yan He said: "If you don't win a game, you come to give a lecture to our colleagues in the copyright operation department. It can't be that kind of set-talk lecture. We want dry goods."
Lei Shuangcheng was dumbfounded: "Waiting for me here?"
Lu Yan He: "You won't even give this little addition?"
"I'm here, can I not give it?" Lei Shuangcheng laughed.
Lu Yan He smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, then I will add additions too. Friends, as long as you can make Lei Zong not win the seven games, the afternoon tea for the next month, I will wrap it!" Lu Yan He said very heroically, "Everyone has a share, can you promise me, do him!"
Everyone laughed and roared in unison: "Do!"
A big man like Lei Shuangcheng was shocked by this "do".
Damn!
He didn't expect such a stubble when he came here tonight!
Lu Yan He said to Chen Siqi with some pride: "Do you think I actually have the talent to be a host?"
Chen Siqi laughed and said: "I think you are like a chicken blood tonight."
Lu Yan He: "The state tonight is a bit too high."
Wang Biao said silently at this time: "Little Brother Lu, you were humming songs as soon as you got up this morning."
He said to Chen Siqi: "Sister Siqi, Little Brother Lu is not high tonight, he is high all day, especially on the way to the airport to pick you up." ===== CHAPTER 514 =====
