Chapter 682: Anatomy of a person

Lu Yan He was actually not this kind of personality before.

I don't know when it started, but it slowly became so decisive and firm.

Yan Liang: "I have to learn from you."

Lu Yan He smiled and asked: "How do you usually refuse this kind of person you don't want to see and the bureau you don't want to go to?"

"Generally, unless there is really something, even if I don't want to go, I still go," Yan Liang said. "I always feel that if I go, I go, give people face, maybe there will be something later that I need people to help me with."

"This is also an attitude, no need to learn from me, everyone's personality is different."

"Actually, I'm not surprised that you decided not to see Yang Zhoujin. After all, he is not familiar with you at all. But I didn't expect you to refuse Zhan Yun directly to her face. She has known us for so long, and the key is that she has filmed with you so many times."

Lu Yan He: "I can only say that sometimes it really depends on fate between people. I have cooperated with Zhan Yun for so many years, but I am almost not even considered a friend, and there is really no private friendship. It's like Wen Minglan. Actually, logically speaking, I should be very familiar with her. Not only filmed 'Friends' together, but also the same agent, and see each other a lot, but just didn't get familiar."

"Then this is indeed fate," Yan Liang nodded. "The actresses who have a good relationship with you seem to be only Chen Bige and Jiang Yuqian."

"Actually, look at Wang Jing or Yan Lingyu, they are relatively more familiar with me than I see them, not as much as Zhan Yun and Wen Minglan. I think it's an aura problem," Lu Yan He said. "Among the three actresses in 'Friends', the one I feel most chatty with is Bai Jin."

"She herself is also the one with the best personality and the nicest person," Yan Liang said. "She is really generous, not twisted, and won't... like Zhan Yun and Wen Minglan, give you such a strong feeling of a female star."

It is indeed like this.

Even though Zhan Yun and Wen Minglan have already restrained the energy of female stars in front of him, they are together day and night, and many details cannot be hidden.

This kind of thing is revealed inadvertently between the eyebrows.

Just like Zhan Yun, because her character is the most popular one among the audience in "Friends," Lu Yan He can also feel more and more that she hopes the plot will be more centered on her.

She didn't say it clearly, just many times when rehearsing and giving opinions on the script, the things she proposed, the final reflection is such a conclusion.

People may also be unconscious, not intentional. Lu Yan He can understand. But it is precisely this unconscious unintentional act that makes Lu Yan He have a vague rejection in his heart. Of course, this rejection is also natural. Rationally, he will never show it, and will never allow himself to have an opinion on Zhan Yun because of this.

Any actor, standing in Zhan Yun's perspective, may subconsciously make the same move as her, including Lu Yan He himself.

Wen Minglan is the second most popular among the three actresses. And, in fact, if the role of Bai Jin in the first season is clearly a supporting role in the protagonist group, then the proportion of Wen Minglan's role and Zhan Yun's role in the plot and character relationships can be compared.

Wen Minglan has always been an ambitious and pursuing actress. Her career heart can be compared with Jiang Yuqian, but she doesn't have Jiang Yuqian's hard work and desperation, and her spirit is high, it is impossible to fly around the world like Jiang Yuqian to expose herself.

Wen Minglan has always wanted to take the "high-end" route.

This is what Lu Yan He felt from Chen Ziyan.

Only Bai Jin, I don't know if it's because she knows very well that her role is a not-so-important protagonist, so in the creation process of "Friends" over the years, she has almost always been "actively cooperating" and trying hard to "play the role."

In the usual state, her consciousness of "competition" is almost non-existent. She is willing to laugh and laugh with everyone, will tell jokes to make everyone happy. When there is no filming, she also frequently bubbles in the group, forwarding some jokes, entertainment news, etc., so that everyone can still have contact after filming.

Although Lu Yan He has never told her, he actually appreciates her very much.

Perhaps her acting talent is not so outstanding, talented, and amazing. However, her way of dealing with people makes people feel like a spring breeze. Lu Yan He is very willing to be friends with her.

Lu Yan He and Yan Liang finished dinner while chatting.

After a short rest, the two went to film.

Bai Jingnian was on the phone, seemingly arguing with someone, rarely blushing, and his face was full of anger.

Seeing this, Lu Yan He and Yan Liang looked at each other.

Bai Jingnian is a person with a very good temper and great patience—although this comes entirely from his many years of "frustrated" work experience at Beijing TV.

So, when Bai Jingnian suddenly showed such great anger, Lu Yan He and Yan Liang's first reaction was:

What's the situation?

After hanging up the phone, Bai Jingnian was still angry.

"Director?" Lu Yan He and Yan Liang went over together.

Bai Jingnian sorted out the anger on his face and eased it.

"Wait a moment, start filming in about ten minutes."

Lu Yan He nodded and asked: "Who made you so angry?"

He made his tone sound as relaxed as possible, like "chatting."

Bai Jingnian sighed, "I brought a student at Beijing TV before. At that time, when I went to Arctic Light, I asked him if he wanted to come together. He didn't come because of some situations at home. As a result, for the past half year, he has been suppressed by the station openly and secretly, and his bonus has been deducted by half."

Lu Yan He heard this, and his brows also wrinkled.

"Why is Beijing TV still so dog."

"This is not a problem of Beijing TV, it is that group of people occupying high positions, forming cliques. As long as they are not people of their faction, they will try every means to suppress them," Bai Jingnian said. "My student didn't follow me, but in their eyes, he is my person. How can those people at Beijing TV treat him well? But I thought, at most, there is no room for development. Who knows, they actually did things like deducting bonuses—at the beginning, he stayed at Beijing TV for a stable income."

Lu Yan He understood why Bai Jingnian was so angry.

Bai Jingnian had left Beijing TV for so long, and they actually did such "excluding dissidents" things to people related to him.

Lu Yan He asked: "Director, you have your own studio at Arctic Light now, and the situation has stabilized. What if you let him come over at this time?"

Bai Jingnian hesitated and said: "My studio's personnel configuration is already complete now, unless he comes over to start from the basic position."

Lu Yan He understood.

Bai Jingnian's studio is funded by Arctic Light.

The personnel budget for each year is limited, and the pits are now full. The student Bai Jingnian brought at Beijing TV is definitely not a small character. If he comes to the studio at this time, not to mention the lack of seats, what position to give him, what treatment to give—how the people who followed Bai Jingnian to start the business feel, and how to balance internal problems are all difficult problems.

Unless there is a vacancy at this time, Bai Jingnian digs people over at this time, which is justified.

Everyone has to pay for their own choices.

Lu Yan He thought about it and said to Bai Jingnian: "What does he think himself? Does he want to leave Beijing TV? Or does he feel he can endure it?"

Bai Jingnian: "I don't know either. He didn't tell me. I heard it from other colleagues at Beijing TV."

Lu Yan He said: "If he doesn't want to leave Beijing TV himself, it's useless for you to be anxious for him."

Everyone's life is chosen by themselves.

Moreover, everyone's situation is different. The former Lu Yan He would feel that sometimes, if you don't grasp some key life opportunities, it is your own loss and you can only pay for it yourself. Later, after seeing many people, Lu Yan He understood how arrogant his thoughts were at that time—

Not everyone has the power to choose to change at any time.

Having old people above and young people below is not a slogan. Some people of course know that a choice means that life may achieve a leap-forward change, but because they also have the risk of failure, they don't have the capital to bear the failure, so they can only play safe cards and walk safe roads.

Lu Yan He and Yan Liang looked at each other.

In this situation, neither of them has a trick.

Helping people is of course possible, but first, people must be willing to accept your help.

People haven't opened their mouths, and you go to so-called help. Not to mention the situation of "good intentions as donkey liver and lungs," your active help and enthusiasm may be a burden to others—people also know you are well-intentioned, but their reality makes them unable to accept such good intentions, which is instead a burden.

However, Lu Yan He thought about it and asked: "Director, what does this student of yours mainly do? Is he also a director?"

"Yes, he has been an assistant director for me for many years," Bai Jingnian said.

"Do you think he can be an independent director?" Lu Yan He asked.

Bai Jingnian thought for a moment and said: "He is not a person with rich creative desire. When cooperating with me, his strength is execution."

Lu Yan He understood as soon as he heard it.

This is a candidate more suitable for being a deputy and playing cooperation.

In fact, this type of director (if really reliable) is the mainstay of the entertainment industry.

Many film and television projects are really filmed by them.

They are just not so lucky, not rewarded by God with a bowl of rice called talent.

Lu Yan He thought about it and said: "If he comes to find you one day, and there is no position in your studio, you can let him try Linghe. You also know that our Linghe has been recruiting production talents on a large scale in recent years."

Bai Jingnian said with some surprise: "That's too grateful."

Compared to helping people, what Lu Yan He thought in his heart was actually—

Since this person's encounter can make Bai Jingnian's emotions fluctuate so much, it shows that the relationship and friendship between the two should be quite good. Let this person come to Linghe, and cooperate with Bai Jingnian to film in the future. With this person in the middle to thread the needle, the cooperation between the two sides will be smoother.

The cooperation between Lu Yan He and Bai Jingnian already has the "Friends" series and "Roommates," and it looks like there will be more cooperation later, which is one of Linghe's most important partners.

Such a person is very important. Especially the communication of some key things, it can't be that Lu Yan He and Hu Siwei communicate every time—their positions in Linghe determine that they cannot easily express their stance on many things, because they don't just represent themselves.

Zhan Yun never thought that she sent a message to Yang Zhoujin, telling him that Lu Yan He had to film at night and couldn't come, and Yang Zhoujin didn't reply.

Calling him didn't answer either.

Waited until 7:30.

"Let's eat by ourselves, don't wait," Zhan Yun said to Bai Jin.

Bai Jin nodded, and didn't ask anything, "This restaurant is quite difficult to book. My assistant booked it several times before but didn't book it."

Zhan Yun: "This place was also set by him. Is this restaurant very famous?"

Bai Jin could see that Zhan Yun's mood was a bit depressed, just trying to cheer up, not to make the scene look lonely.

Bai Jin nodded, allowing the topic to continue, and said: "I don't know how the dishes are. I know this restaurant because it is famous for being difficult to book."

Zhan Yun smiled.

"Alright."

Bai Jin asked: "When you are in a relationship with him, do you usually come to such restaurants that are difficult to book?"

Zhan Yun: "This kind of place comes a lot, but I don't like it very much."

"Why?"

"It's not that I don't like coming to this kind of place, it's that every time he is in this kind of place, he will make me feel... as if this is the place he really belongs to," Zhan Yun said. "Haven't apologized to you yet, last time he came to the crew, his attitude was not very good."

"Rich young master, all like that, born with a golden key, served and grown up, more or less have some... arrogance," Bai Jin asked. "How is he to you? Chased you for so long, should be very good to you, right?"

"Don't know how to say it."

"Is he not good to you?" Bai Jin asked in surprise. "Can't say it's not good," Zhan Yun sighed, "but... I don't know how to say it, sometimes he gives me the feeling that being good to me is like completing an action, just because I am his girlfriend, so he is good to me."

Bai Jin nodded.

"So that's it."

Bai Jin paused and asked again: "Then... do you like him?"

Zhan Yun gave her a bleak smile.

Bai Jin saw such a smile from her, didn't need to ask anything, understood everything.

"Valentine's Day special issue, do you have any good topics?"

"Jump Up" editorial meeting, today's discussion is the February issue of next year, which is also the Valentine's Day special issue.

"Jump Up" doesn't do Valentine's Day special issues every year.

Doing it this year is because they got a heavyweight serialization.

Top Chinese romance novelist Zhu Yujie will serialize her new long novel starting from the February issue of "Jump Up."

(Content omitted for brevity)

This writer, who has been creating for more than 20 years, although every work is based on love, is actually a serious literary writer with great influence in the reader group.

There are few who can write romance themes into the category of serious literature. The first person Lu Yan He can think of is Eileen Chang.

Because the positioning of "Jump Up" magazine itself is still a literary magazine, although its media matrix is getting stronger and stronger, the magazine itself still maintains its own positioning, does not change the content method, and strives to cooperate with top Chinese writers.

Bai Yu contributed a lot to being able to win the serialization of Zhu Yujie's new long novel.

It is said that Bai Yu spent the past two years, in order to get familiar with Zhu Yujie, specially held three "Zhu Yujie Reader Meetings," basically visiting once a quarter, and using many channel resources of Jump Up to help Zhu Yujie sell books.

A lot of time and energy invested in it.

The significance of winning Zhu Yujie is the same as the significance of winning Teacher Shi Xia's serialization at the beginning.

The initial positioning of "Jump Up" was a youth literary magazine. As its influence grew, it began to "youth" and strengthen "literary," wanting to build an authoritative literary media.

The word authority actually comes from industry recognition and influence.

This concept is the same as the current Oscars. Even if it is already an industry-recognized top award, it still needs those top big names and superstars to come and bless it year after year—of course, big names and superstars also need the same return.

Bai Yu proposed: "I reported a topic before, centering on Teacher Zhu Yujie's four long novels, inviting eight first-tier stars to shoot four sets of theme photos."

"Your concept is of course very good, but this is not suitable for the paper version of the magazine," Chen Siqi said. "This planning definitely won't be done without seven figures, but what is the significance of putting it on the magazine? We are not a gimmick magazine, nor an image magazine."

Someone immediately said: "Is our Valentine's Day special issue going to be themed on Teacher Zhu Yujie's works?"

"This is too limited, no need," Chen Siqi shook her head immediately. "Although Teacher Zhu has a high status in the literary circle, for the public, the popularity is actually not high."

"For the reader group of 'Jump Up', Teacher Zhu's popularity is definitely high," Bai Yu said immediately.

"Every special issue, in addition to facing our existing readers, we also hope that it can break the circle through some topics or topics and attract new readers," Chen Siqi said. "This is a task borne by the special issue."

"Perhaps we can sort out the love stories in myths and legends?" Xu Zijun suggested, "Many love stories in myths and legends are actually not related to love at the beginning, sort out their evolution and history."

"Is this a bit niche?" Chen Siqi said. "This topic is interesting, but the perspective is a bit niche."

"If—" Linyu said her thoughts, "invite three celebrities to write a letter to their objects? For example, Huang Kai and Xin Zixing, for example, Teacher Zhu, celebrity effect is always the most able to drive public attention. Stars, writers, plus a celebrity with very high social popularity."

"This idea is very good," Chen Siqi's eyes lit up immediately.

Zhou Mukai pushed the horizontal clip of his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Do a love letter planning, facing the national solicitation. Solicitation is also the easiest way for magazines to broaden the reader group. Many people who don't read this magazine will start to understand this magazine because of this solicitation. In fact, the sales of these few issues of 'Jump Up' have also risen significantly, because of the year-end inventory voting, I think solicitation is the same concept."

Chen Siqi thought about it and said: "But this becomes an emotional topic, a bit inconsistent with the positioning of 'Jump Up' itself."

"Why does the celebrity's love letter fit the positioning of 'Jump Up'?" Bai Yu was a little confused. "Ordinary people's love letters won't work."

Chen Siqi was stunned.

She didn't feel angry, but was stunned by Bai Yu's question, and was also asking herself, yes, obviously it is the same thing, why is she also double-standard?

She said: "You asked very correctly, I almost felt that I was double-standard. However, I thought about it, I didn't feel that there was a problem with celebrities writing love letters, because we choose people, we must choose people who meet the standard of public literature and art. The focus is not on love letters, but on people. The people who write love letters meet the literary positioning of 'Jump Up'. But ordinary readers, they themselves do not have this literary expression and attributes known to people, then the love letter is really a love letter. I don't know if I explained it clearly?"

Bai Yu: "Perhaps in the submissions of ordinary readers, works with literary value and literary value that are not inferior to emotional value will be found."

"But 'Jump Up' magazine as an official to do love letter solicitation will make people feel that the positioning of this magazine has shifted," Chen Siqi said. "This is not what this magazine should do."

Linyu nodded: "I also agree with the editor-in-chief's point of view. We can solicit manuscripts through other channels, but we cannot organize this love letter solicitation as an official planning activity."

"Shooting the cover of 'Jump Up' magazine Valentine's Day special issue?"

Zhang Ruozhi was a little surprised.

She is now a freshman, after the release of "Love Letter," her popularity soared, but during the rising period, she quietly started her college life.

Just as Chen Ziyan promised before, the company did not affect her studies during her school days, and almost no work was arranged.

Now, the exam week is about to come.

Zhang Ruozhi was burying her head in review, when she suddenly received a call from her executive agent.

"Yes," the executive agent said, "The jewelry brand Cess you endorse has always been advertising in 'Jump Up' magazine. This time they talked about cooperation, talked about the Valentine's Day special issue, and proposed this cooperation plan. Because you are the heroine of 'Love Letter' and also the spokesperson for Cess, 'Jump Up' also hesitated for a long time before agreeing to this cooperation. They rarely let celebrity artists be on the cover before."

Zhang Ruozhi said: "Yes, so I am also very surprised. I remember Chen Siqi said in her editor's notes before that she hoped 'Jump Up' could become a magazine that does not rely on celebrity artists to stand, so the celebrity content of the magazine has always been controlled at a very small proportion, and the celebrity artists on the cover are even fewer. It seems that only one or two covers a year are celebrities."

"Yes, this shooting is quite important. It is a Valentine's Day special issue, and the attention is greater than the usual ordinary months," the executive agent said. "After you finish the exam, it is scheduled for January shooting."

Zhang Ruozhi said hmm.

"Do you have any New Year's Eve activities with your classmates this year?"

"Will celebrate New Year's Eve with everyone," Zhang Ruozhi said.

"Hmm, good, if it's a public occasion, pay more attention. Now many paparazzi want to take pictures of your first relationship."

"I... I haven't been in a relationship yet."

"But there will be many paparazzi to take some ambiguous photos, catch the wind and shadow, spread rumors, even if it is fake, the heat and traffic are very high."

"Alright, then I'll pay attention," Zhang Ruozhi said.

"Come on, take the exam well," the executive agent encouraged with a smile, "After you finish the exam, I will make an appointment with you for dinner."

"Good," Zhang Ruozhi said, "Thank you, trouble you."

——Why don't you return my call?

Looking at this message that had just been sent, Zhan Yun was silent for a moment, exited the chat interface, and handed the phone to the assistant.

The assistant was a little surprised and asked: "Don't reply? He just called three times."

"If he calls again, you say I'm filming."

Last night, until Zhan Yun went to sleep, Yang Zhoujin did not reply to any messages.

Early this morning, Yang Zhoujin called.

But Zhan Yun didn't answer.

To be honest, she was a little angry.

She didn't answer the phone, and Yang Zhoujin kept sending her messages, asking her why she didn't answer the phone.

There was no useful information at all, and he didn't mention the "absence" last night.

His attitude made Zhan Yun even more angry.

It just so happened that the scene to be filmed today was her arguing with Yan Liang.

After a scene was filmed, Bai Jingnian praised her for having a good feeling today.

Zhan Yun was between laughter and tears for a moment, feeling helpless in her heart.

Such "entering the play" is really not what she wants.

Who knows, in the evening, Zhan Yun finished filming, turned her head, and saw Yang Zhoujin standing behind with a straight face, arms crossed, as if she had done something sorry for him.

Zhan Yun took a deep breath—

If his attitude was slightly better, Zhan Yun would definitely not give him no face in front of everyone.

Now like this, she didn't want to say a word more to Yang Zhoujin.

She ignored him with a blank face and prepared to leave.

Yang Zhoujin chased up immediately.

"What do you mean?" he asked with a cold face.

Zhan Yun: "What do you mean?"

Yang Zhoujin said: "You didn't answer my call all day today, and you still ask me what I mean?"

Zhan Yun stood still and looked at him in disbelief.

"You don't mention a word about last night?"

Yang Zhoujin: "You should know why I didn't go last night."

Zhan Yun was so angry that she laughed.

"Then you should also know why I didn't answer your call today."

Yang Zhoujin: "Is it interesting for you to be like this?"

The argument between the two had attracted the attention of the people around.

Including Lu Yan He and them.

Yan Liang whispered: "The two of them don't look right, why do they feel like they are going to quarrel?"

Bai Jin looked at Zhan Yun and Yang Zhoujin with worry, silently worried.

Then, from afar, no one expected that Yang Zhoujin raised his hand and slapped Zhan Yun, and walked away.
