Chapter 715

Liu Zhiyin's concert was held at Yuming Stadium, one of the largest stadiums in Yuming.

It can accommodate 20,000 people at the same time, so it is often the first choice for singers when holding concerts.

Generally speaking, being able to hold a concert in such a place can be said to be a symbol of being a box-office hit.

Having to sell 20,000 tickets in one go is not an ordinary thing.

Even in a large city like Yuming, if you want to attract 20,000 people to buy tickets to listen to you sing, you need very loyal fans to support you.

Don't look at many singers you haven't heard of holding concerts, especially some idol singers who haven't broken out of the circle and only have a small part of fans. If you look at the information of the concerts they hold, you will find that they often hold them in a small venue, with an audience of at most a few hundred people, and at most a little over a thousand.

Lu Yan He actually rarely comes to concerts.

Mainly because he has few singer friends, just those few in *Young Days*. Liu Zhiyin is the first to hold a large concert tour.

After Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei entered through the VIP channel, they went directly backstage.

Liu Zhiyin was laughing and joking with her backup dancers and chorus members backstage.

As soon as Lu Yan He appeared, a group of people let out deafening screams.

"Liu Zhiyin, you actually didn't lie to us, Lu Yan He really came—" A girl expressed her surprise and love for Lu Yan He with very exaggerated gestures and tone.

Lu Yan He was a bit caught off guard, smiling subconsciously.

Liu Zhiyin stepped forward helplessly to greet Lu Yan He.

"Many of them are your fans. Sigh, helping me do this concert is just work, you are their passion."

Lu Yan He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, greeting everyone.

After a few pleasantries, someone started organizing a group photo.

Lu Yan He introduced Li Pengfei to Liu Zhiyin: "My high school classmate."

Liu Zhiyin had long noticed this young man who was out of tune with the entertainment industry.

"Hello."

She shook hands with Li Pengfei.

"Hello." Li Pengfei shook hands with her a bit cautiously.

After the photo, Lu Yan He said: "Then I won't disturb your preparation, waiting for you to start."

"Okay," Liu Zhiyin suddenly thought of something, "By the way, the camera on the scene might capture you later, you will appear on the screen at the scene, is this okay for you? If you mind, I will let their camera avoid your area."

Lu Yan He: "This doesn't matter."

Liu Zhiyin: "When you appear on the screen at the scene, the whole audience will definitely scream."

Lu Yan He teased: "Are you afraid that I will steal your limelight?"

Liu Zhiyin raised her chin proudly: "At my concert, no matter how big your limelight is, it's adding limelight to me."

Lu Yan He laughed.

"Alright, come on, waiting to see how much limelight you have today."

Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei went to the family and friends area.

The family and friends area is a separate area surrounded by railings.

Actually, it is in the first row of the auditorium, but it is separated from the auditorium.

Qin Zhibai, Peng Zhixing, and others were all there, as well as other artists.

A round of pleasantries.

Because Lu Yan He has basically been filming on set, Lu Yan He actually rarely has the opportunity to get to know artists in the circle—especially artists who have just emerged.

Lu Yan He rarely attends grand ceremonies or participates in activities now, especially activities where platforms gather popular artists together. This naturally gives him a lot of extra time, which can be used for filming or resting, but it also makes him slowly start to be out of touch with the latest developments in the entertainment industry.

At Liu Zhiyin's concert, Lu Yan He was shocked to find that he didn't know more than half of the people here, and hadn't even heard their names.

He couldn't show it, using all his acting skills. After the pleasantries, he learned about it in the exchange.

Many of them got to know Liu Zhiyin because of recording variety shows or other work, and most of them are singers.

What surprised Lu Yan He even more was that their enthusiasm for him in their words wasn't aimed at him as a person.

Peng Zhixing whispered to Lu Yan He: "The matter of you doing the show *China's Good Songs* has already spread in their music circle. They are all eyeing this show, no, eyeing you."

"Uh—" Lu Yan He didn't expect it was because of this, "This is a show for amateurs, why are these famous singers eyeing it?"

"There will be guest stars, there will be singing-assistance segments, these all need famous singers," Peng Zhixing said. "And the most important thing is the mentor group and creative guidance positions. Aren't they looking for people now? Now the mentor group hasn't been decided, and only Qin Zhibai has been decided for creative guidance. There are still many vacancies."

Lu Yan He: "I didn't manage these specific things."

"You don't need to manage specific things," Peng Zhixing laughed. "In others' eyes, it's a matter of one word from you. You have to know, now it's said in the circle that as long as you become friends with you, you will get a steady stream of resources, because the projects in your hands will prioritize your friends."

"That's what's said, but that also has to be someone I know and think is suitable," Lu Yan He said. "And, I don't have that many friends, nor do I have that many projects. You can't say that just because you greeted me warmly, you are my friend, right?"

Peng Zhixing: "That's what's said, hmm."

He nodded as if stopping at the right point.

Lu Yan He reacted.

When the concert was about to start, the whole venue suddenly went dark.

Screams started to appear at the scene, the kind of uncontrollable screams when about to see an idol.

Then, suddenly, the lights of the whole venue lit up.

Music started.

It was the kind of music with a very strong sense of rhythm.

On the stage, Liu Zhiyin and her twenty-plus backup dancers appeared on the stage in neat and consistent formation, following the drum beats of the music, posing a few cool and dashing movements like female warriors.

Then, the whole venue boiled over.

Liu Zhiyin chose her most popular song to open.

*Savage Growth Era*.

Lu Yan He looked around.

This is an environment completely different from the scene of a movie premiere.

He could see a kind of fanatical emotion on everyone's face. This fanaticism is different from the fanaticism he saw when he was besieged by fans at the airport.

The infectious power of such an atmosphere was so strong that Lu Yan He was driven to stand up, dance along, and clap his hands together.

When he reacted to what Li Pengfei was doing, looking back, the latter was holding his phone, recording a video of him.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yan He laughed.

Li Pengfei: "Recording it."

Lu Yan He said: "You are here to listen to the concert, not to be a photographer. Put down your phone and stand up and have fun."

Li Pengfei stood up.

"I haven't heard any of her songs, I can't integrate into it at all."

"Then what do you think of her songs?"

"Not bad, pretty good to listen to."

"Then don't care if you've heard them or not, just treat it as listening for the first time," Lu Yan He whispered in Li Pengfei's ear. "Actually, I haven't heard many of the songs either."

Li Pengfei: "I see you moving so vigorously."

"Rare opportunity to sway a bit," Lu Yan He said with a smile. "Usually moving like this, others will think I'm crazy."

Li Pengfei: "If it's you, indeed."

Lu Yan He asked: "If you like exploring the wilderness so much, would you be willing to turn this hobby into your profession?"

The surrounding cheers and screams were very noisy.

Li Pengfei almost thought he heard wrong.

"Profession?"

"Yes," Lu Yan He said. "You used to tell me that you didn't have anything you wanted to do, nor did you have a goal, so you didn't know what to do. But in these few years, you have been doing things related to the wilderness, rock climbing, wilderness photography, camping, never stopping."

Li Pengfei asked: "Can this also become a profession?"

"What if you film your wilderness travel into a documentary?" Lu Yan He asked.

Li Pengfei was stunned.

Lu Yan He: "Don't need to make a lot of money, nor is there the pressure to support a family. Truly record everything you are interested in. Of course, it can still bring economic returns, but the nature is different. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understand."

Lu Yan He: "Zijun said you have no plan, nor have you thought about what to do in the future. Have you ever thought that you can't respond to marriage because you yourself know that marriage is a secular thing, and what you are doing is something not in the secular world? Subconsciously, you think that if you get married, you have to end everything now. However, you can actually put the things you like and want to do for a lifetime into a secular framework."

Li Pengfei was silent for a long time before saying: "I don't know."

"Try it," Lu Yan He said. "Find like-minded partners, see if you can form a team, record your exploration of every place in the wilderness. It is not only your profession, but in the end, it will also become your life summary, isn't it? You have always said you don't know what the meaning of your life is, you just want to be happy, mixing food and waiting for death is also fine, but you are not mixing food and waiting for death now, do you know why? It is because you found the meaning of your life."

Lu Yan He hooked Li Pengfei's neck, taking him to jump wildly.

Right on the spot, right here.

The dim light seemed to become a protective color, allowing them to jump and dance without scruples.

Lu Yan He said in his ear: "I hope you can be truly happy, and continue to be truly happy."

Li Pengfei was stunned, then lowered his head and laughed.

After singing and dancing for five songs in a row, Liu Zhiyin's concert finally entered the slow song stage.

Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei were both tired and sat down again.

Liu Zhiyin sang on the stage.

"Even if the stage is shining, I am still me."

"The flowers that time bloomed on me, what is blooming is the past journey."

Lu Yan He listened under the stage and felt very touched.

Only those who know Liu Zhiyin know how much sweat she has paid along the way. Lu Yan He has almost never seen anyone more hardworking than her.

When recording *Young Days*, she always pressed her legs every day, never lazy, just to keep the quality of her dance on stage from declining.

A song suddenly rang in Lu Yan He's mind.

*The Girl with Wings*, original singer, Joey Yung.

On the stage under the blue light, Liu Zhiyin sang softly in the shape of a mermaid princess.

The whole venue was listening to her singing quietly.

She is not a singer whose voice sounds particularly clean and clear, but the sincerity she expressed in her singing was pure and true.

Liu Zhiyin is not at all a female idol liked by fans because of her own charm like Li Zhibai.

She is beautiful, but beautiful with aggression.

She is hardworking, but hardworking to the point of putting pressure on everyone.

She is competitive, but competitive to the point of sometimes making people feel she is not relaxed.

When she first returned to the country, she went on *Young Days*, because she wanted to win in every environment, so she was scolded by the audience.

After this show, she went to other shows and was still scolded.

She kept gritting her teeth, didn't give up, of course, didn't change, to cater to the audience, to be a female idol who doesn't fight or grab, and is confused and cute.

Time passed slowly, and everyone seemed to slowly accept this girl who refused to admit defeat.

Her stubbornness, her persistence, all became labels on her, in a way that once existed on her as a black spot.

After the concert ended, Lu Yan He and the others went out first.

After going out, they waited for Chen Siqi and the others in the car.

Everyone agreed to go for a late-night snack together.

*Jump Up* editorial department big gathering.

The people in the editorial department are also very familiar with Li Pengfei.

After all, this person's name is hanging on the inaugural issue of *Jump Up*, and it has appeared in many issues in the middle, sometimes as the photographer of a certain illustration, sometimes as a 'special thanks.'

Of course, the identity everyone is most familiar with is Xu Zijun's boyfriend.

Many people haven't seen the real person, only seen the photos circulating in various group chats. Now seeing the real person, several young girls whispered that he is handsome.

No one saw that there was actually something wrong between Xu Zijun and Li Pengfei.

At the dinner table, everyone was making a big noise, all talking about the embarrassing things that happened at work usually.

Zhou Mukai was also there.

After Bai Yu left, the content of the magazine became Zhou Mukai taking over Bai Yu's work, mainly responsible together with Xu Zijun.

Lu Yan He asked Zhou Mukai: "After graduation, are you willing to stay at *Jump Up* full-time?"

Zhou Mukai showed hesitation.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Lu Yan He asked: "Is there any problem? If you have any thoughts, you can tell me directly."

Zhou Mukai pondered for a moment and said: "Then I will tell you directly. I quite like the magazine *Jump Up*. If I am asked to work for this magazine all the time, I am very willing. However, one is that I don't know how long the magazine *Jump Up* can do. I know its market is still very good now, sales are constantly increasing, but after all, this era changes so much, AI development, all walks of life are facing huge changes, not to mention the general environment of print media. Two is that I haven't thought about what kind of life I want to live."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"So the place where you hesitate is actually not something we can satisfy by doing what we are doing now?"

Zhou Mukai nodded.

"I am also considering whether to study for a PhD," Zhou Mukai said. "In this way, maybe I can be a teacher in a university in the future, then one day if *Jump Up* really doesn't run, I also have a way out."

Lu Yan He understands what the 'way out' Zhou Mukai said is.

People, either do the work they like, or do a job with high economic returns, always have to occupy one. Doing *Jump Up* and engaging in literature-related research and teaching are both work Zhou Mukai likes.

Now the salary Zhou Mukai gets at *Jump Up* is 20,000 a month. After taking over Bai Yu's work, the salary should rise to about 30,000, which is the income in hand. It can be said that there is no higher salary than an editor at *Jump Up*. However, if you really want to compare, the ceiling of the future development of the position of text director at *Jump Up* is actually limited.

Zhou Mukai himself is not an author, and has no intention of engaging in creation. The promotion space for the editor position is small, and further up is the editor-in-chief. If *Jump Up* prepares to be a big print media company, in addition to *Jump Up*, it will also found other magazines, then Zhou Mukai's future development space will be much larger, but the editor-in-chief of *Jump Up* can only be Chen Siqi.

Therefore, Lu Yan He understands Zhou Mukai's hesitation.

"If you have any needs, you can tell me at any time," Lu Yan He said. "In addition to the magazine, *Jump Up* also has many business sectors, including Linghe. Your work experience has very precious value to these companies of ours, and you yourself are too."

Zhou Mukai smiled and patted Lu Yan He's shoulder.

"My first choice must be here, but before making the final decision, I need to consider some things clearly, and also discuss with my family and Xiuxiu."

"Understand." Lu Yan He nodded.

Zhou Mukai is a master's degree holder from Zhenhua University. For him, as long as he is not stubborn about finding a job that matches his major, actually, in many places, there are positions with huge development space, he can go.

Not to mention, during his studies, the work experience and contacts he accumulated at a magazine like *Jump Up* are valuable wealth for any enterprise in the country.

Everyone has their own choices, Lu Yan He just sincerely hopes that these classmates and friends of his can stay by his side as much as possible.

Such obsession, he cannot tell anyone. Because if he says it, it will become a burden to others.

In the final analysis, he still hopes everyone is good.

Therefore, Sister Zixing returning to Ye Mai Network, he supports.

Bai Yu wanting to leave, he also supports.

Li Pengfei facing some dilemmas of choice, he tries his best to help him resolve the dilemmas through his way.

Just like when he needed help and support, they all helped and supported him in their way.

Lu Yan He wrote out the song *The Girl with Wings*, found someone to arrange it, found someone to sing the demo, it sounded like that feeling, took an envelope, and handwritten a card:

—Thank you for inviting me to listen to your concert, a return gift.

Subsequently, he had someone send it to Liu Zhiyin.

Since this song was thought of while listening to her concert, it was given to her.

That night, Liu Zhiyin sent him a message in disbelief: This song of yours, is it for me?

Lu Yan He: Hmm, a song I thought of while listening to your concert.

Liu Zhiyin:!!!

Liu Zhiyin: This song, it simply wrote into my heart!

Liu Zhiyin: It is exactly the words I want to say in my heart, you completely embodied it.

Lu Yan He: It was because of listening to your concert that I wrote the song.

Although Lu Yan He didn't say anything, Liu Zhiyin sent a revenue distribution agreement the next day, 50% of all commercial income of the song *The Girl with Wings* belongs to Lu Yan He.

No mention of copyright transfer.

Although Lu Yan He said it was given to Liu Zhiyin, Liu Zhiyin didn't really 'accept it with a smile' directly.

The meaning reflected by this agreement is that the copyright is still Lu Yan He's, she only has the right to sing.

—Of course, in fact, there was no discussion of copyright at all.

Lu Yan He took this agreement and didn't say anything, didn't even sign it, and stuffed it into his drawer.

He is quite glad that he has already made a lot of money, money that can't be spent in this life, so he can face many, many interests very freely, not caring about those gains and losses.

Brothers, clear accounts.

However, gifts don't need to be calculated, Lu Yan He just has this idea.

But he also didn't intend to transfer the copyright directly.

If Liu Zhiyin is always the current Liu Zhiyin, the gift will always be a gift.

If Liu Zhiyin becomes another Liu Zhiyin, then the gift can also be taken back.

This is Lu Yan He's idea.

"Do you still remember, you have a song called *Childhood*?"

Chen Ziyan asked.

Lu Yan He nodded: "Remember."

"Never sang it."

"Mainly because there was no suitable opportunity to sing it."

"However, do you want to record it first?" Chen Ziyan only brought up *Childhood* after hearing about *The Girl with Wings*, "Although you didn't take the singer's path, you have also released many songs one after another. You are twenty-five, your voice is actually constantly changing, don't wait until you want to record this song, you can no longer sing that feeling."

Lu Yan He: "No way, this song has a corresponding feeling no matter what age you sing it."

Chen Ziyan: "But it's not the feeling of you at twenty-five."

Lu Yan He: "Then, find a time, record it."

"Hmm," Chen Ziyan nodded, "Actually, I am also thinking, do you want to make an album."

"Make an album?" Lu Yan He was a bit surprised.

"Yes," Chen Ziyan said, "Look, you sang some songs yourself, and also wrote songs for many people. If you make an album as a songwriter, it's also quite interesting, released in conjunction with the show *China's Good Songs*."

Lu Yan He asked: "In this day and age, does anyone buy albums?"

"Physical albums are indeed not many, but electronic albums are still quite popular," Chen Ziyan said. "For your loyal fans, physical albums are also a gift for them."

"Pulling it, people have to spend money," Lu Yan He said immediately. "Gifts should be free."

"You can donate all the proceeds of this album in the name of your fans," Chen Ziyan said.

Lu Yan He fell into deep thought.

"In these years, you have done a lot of non-public welfare, this is your personal behavior. However, many hands make light work. I have been thinking recently, if you can call on your fans to do public welfare together, it will be a very good thing," Chen Ziyan said. "Then I think using a way of practicing what you preach to do this thing is better."

Lu Yan He hesitated for a while and asked: "Sister Ziyan, did something happen that needs to use this thing to maintain my image?"

Chen Ziyan was stunned, "Ah?"

"This suggestion of yours is very sudden," Lu Yan He said. "Of course I am very willing to call on my fans to do public welfare together, but suddenly bringing up this matter makes me a bit uneasy."

Chen Ziyan sighed.

"Alright, you are very sensitive, but actually nothing happened, I want to prevent it before it happens," Chen Ziyan said. "In the past few years, the fact that your income is high has caused more than one negative attack. No way, this thing is almost an original sin, cannot be eradicated, so I want to use such a thing to cast a golden body for you."

Lu Yan He: "Just like this?"

Chen Ziyan nodded, "Just like this."

Chen Ziyan is a person who takes precautions and lays out in advance.

Such ability is actually rare in an agent.

But because she has such ability, Lu Yan He has gone all the way, actually very smoothly, without any major crises.

Every time someone does something, it will soon be shattered by 'iron-like facts.'

To make facts become 'iron-like' solid, it is not just that the facts themselves are solid enough.

Chen Ziyan really didn't have a very clear purpose this time.

She thought of this matter, one is that she felt that Lu Yan He wrote so many songs, it's a pity not to make a work because he didn't take the singer's route. Life is long, organizing scattered creations, and being able to use it to do a very meaningful thing, this is very good.

Second is because Lu Yan He's position is too high now. If a person's position is very high, under the social convention, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

The public welfare Lu Yan He usually does is not public, but not public means no one knows. Chen Ziyan also doesn't want Lu Yan He's public welfare to be defined as 'showing off,' then doing it in the name of releasing an album and giving a gift to all fans can be justified, and it is also a manifestation of social responsibility.

Chen Ziyan's idea is indeed very simple. Several factors rushed together, so she put forward this suggestion.

An album of a songwriter.

An album in a non-traditional sense.

This is quite good, and there is no pressure on results or data.

Lu Yan He thought about it and agreed.

Chen Ziyan said: "As a birthday gift for your twenty-fifth birthday year."

Lu Yan He nodded: "Good."

Say do it and do it.

The songs are all ready-made. Of course, some songs need to be rearranged to make versions suitable for records, such as *Love* and *Green Apple Paradise*, these two songs currently only have stage versions.

Lu Yan He also has to go and talk to Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, Song Lin Xin, and Liu Zhiyin about this plan.

Invite them to record songs, hmm, no remuneration, this is a public welfare project, all profits will be donated.

Song Lin Xin asked in surprise: "What am I recording? *Commemoration*? You yourself are the original singer."

Lu Yan He said: "My original version is not as popular as yours. The one that made many people know this song is your version. At that time, the album will have my version and your version."

Song Lin Xin: "... It's no problem for me to record, but I always feel I will be scolded by your fans."

"No, when the album is released, everyone will know that you are here to help me do a public welfare project."

Only then did Song Lin Xin agree.

Chen Ziyan worries about recording songs and making albums, Lu Yan He didn't manage it, just waiting to enter the recording studio.

The Second Jump Up International Film Critics Film Festival arrived as scheduled.

Lu Yan He had dinner with the film critics, didn't participate in the subsequent related itinerary. Filmed two advertisements, went to record some interviews for *Burning Fire* to cooperate with the promotion when it was released later, and then—

Li Zhibai returned to the country dusty and tired.

Lu Yan He specifically gathered a group of friends to welcome him.

Li Zhibai, who finished filming *Buried*, was so thin that he looked like skin and bones.

Once back, he had to start staying in the room and raising meat.

In July, he had to join the set to film *Those Years*.

"Sigh, I'm going, I originally thought this movie *Buried* was easy to film, didn't need to move every day, just stayed in one place, but it was enough, staying in a closed small space every day, I feel I'm going to be depressed."

Li Zhibai complained bitterly as soon as he returned, telling Lu Yan He, "This broken movie was too tiring to film, more tiring than filming *Chinese Paladin*, *Chinese Paladin* had so many action scenes."

Lu Yan He laughed.

He had already seen some of the filming footage of *Buried* from Parameter.

Although Li Zhibai had an expression that he was really deceived, from the footage filmed, his performance in this movie can be described as a surprise.

A one-man show from beginning to end, most of the time, the lens was poking at his face to film.

In this case, it not only requires Li Zhibai to have a very strong sense of belief, but also requires very solid acting skills.

As a result, Li Zhibai, who has always been the male lead of idol dramas and romance dramas, gave a very convincing performance.

Compared with the original version, he gave a younger reaction that is closer to physiological reactions and primitive drives.

His anger, panic, and anxiety are very measured.

Lu Yan He knows that Li Zhibai made a lot of preparations for filming this movie, and specifically invited an acting teacher to do guidance before going.

Lu Yan He patted Li Zhibai's shoulder and said: "Then are you acting cool?"

Li Zhibai, who had been complaining and complaining, stopped talking. After a while, he curled his lips and smiled.

"Indeed acting quite cool."

Completely different performance content, having been an actor for so long, he finally filmed a completely different role, a different subject matter.

Li Zhibai also feels that he might find it very difficult to encounter a one-man show script again in the future.

Lu Yan He: "This movie will be very successful."

"Have you seen the footage?" Li Zhibai reacted immediately.

Lu Yan He nodded.

Li Zhibai: "Sigh, it's just resting for a few days, then I have to join the set to film *Those Years* again. It's not enough for you to toss yourself, you come to toss me again."

"You can rest after filming *Those Years*, right?" Lu Yan He said, "But after I finish filming *Storm Calmer No. 1*, I still have to film *Friends*."

Li Zhibai: "..."

Lu Yan He: "Of course, cherish your time now. After *Chinese Paladin* is broadcast, your popularity will soar again. After *Those Years* is released, OK, almost all movie scripts suitable for you will be prioritized to your hands. Whether you will be tired and faint from filming, I don't know, but your eyes will already need to eat lutein every day from looking at scripts."

Li Zhibai: "I rely on, so exaggerated?"

"Yes, so exaggerated," Lu Yan He nodded. "So, you only filmed two movies a year, cherish it."

"..." Li Zhibai sighed long, "No, I have to tell Lin Suyang, I won't take any more plays after filming *Those Years*, I want to rest, I must rest, I am not a volume king like you."

Lu Yan He laughed.

The next day, Li Zhibai slept until nearly noon before waking up.

Lu Yan He ordered takeout.

A roast duck.

The two sat in front of the coffee table to eat.

Half of Li Zhibai's head stood up, like a peacock's tail, shaking with his movements.

His eyes were listless, his mouth was full of oil, and he said that sentence again: "So tired."

Lu Yan He turned a deaf ear.

After two seconds, Li Zhibai repeated: "So tired."

Lu Yan He said: "I'm going to meet Liu Bige this afternoon, do you want to go with me?"

"Go do what?"

"Chat about the script of *Storm Calmer No. 1*."

"What am I going for?"

"See an old friend."

Li Zhibai's eyes were listless, "So tired."

Paused for a second, then continued: "Don't want to go out."

Lu Yan He: "Then what are you doing staying in the room?"

"Paralyzed."

Lu Yan He: "Alright."

Regarding the movie *Storm Calmer No. 1*, Lu Yan He truly felt that from the beginning of the preparation of a movie, the process in the middle can actually be worn away for so long.

Originally, it was already in preparation before *Death Can't Do It*, and after several years, it is only now ready to start filming.

However, fortunately, Liu Bige has sat firmly in the seat of a famous director since *Late Spring* and *Death Can't Do It*. The box office success of the two movies also made him not have to worry about money anymore, and he could prepare for this movie leisurely.

For him, the most worthwhile thing is that because of several delays, this movie has changed from a spy blockbuster to an art film that can be filmed according to his ideas.

Of course, Liu Bige will not film it in a dull and ugly way.

*Late Spring* is not such a movie.

Liu Bige is not the kind of director who likes to play with stream of consciousness.

"After you filmed *The Mist*, is your state OK?" As soon as they met, Liu Bige cared about Lu Yan He's state.

This play *Storm Calmer No. 1* consumes a lot of the actor, without enough energy, it is difficult to hold on.

Because this movie is almost tense throughout, the protagonist played by Lu Yan He also bears huge mental pressure in this movie, which is very torturous.

For an actor like Lu Yan He, it is impossible for him not to empathize with the role.

This also means that Lu Yan He himself also has to face such strong mental pressure.

"No problem," Lu Yan He said. "I rest for a period, I will definitely be able to adjust when I join the set."

Liu Bige nodded.

"I don't doubt your ability at all, I'm just afraid that when you film, you will be too trapped in it."

Lu Yan He took a deep breath.

"Filmed so many plays, I have already learned how to distinguish between movies and reality, shouldn't it be that miserable, right?" he laughed.

Liu Bige: "When you filmed *Late Spring* last time, you were trapped in it, although you came out relatively quickly later."

Lu Yan He recalled the experience of filming *Late Spring* last time and was silent.

Because Liu Bige didn't seem to be wrong.

It is indeed like this.

With Liu Bige's style of filming, this *Storm Calmer No. 1* is estimated to be another play that allows him to completely let go, invest, act over and over again, and act until he completely forgets himself.

It's not to say that such a performance is necessarily the best performance, but such a performance must be the greatest consumption for the actor.

Lu Yan He was silent for a moment and said to Liu Bige: "You made me a bit nervous."

Liu Bige seemed to be really worried about Lu Yan He.

"I tell you the truth, after I prepared for this play, I often have dreams, dreaming of scenes in the movie," Liu Bige said. "I am the person who wants to hide myself, it is really murderous at every step, immersive."

Hearing this, Lu Yan He's expression became serious.

"You are an actor with extremely strong empathy, I am very worried that once you act into it, you won't be able to come out."

"No," Lu Yan He shook his head. He told Liu Bige very firmly, "I can let myself completely enter every role time and time again, because I have an anchor point. No matter how far I go, I can come back. You don't need to worry about my problem."

"I just want to tell you, when you feel something is wrong, you call stop at any time," Liu Bige said.

Lu Yan He nodded.

Although Lu Yan He didn't know why Liu Bige would solemnly urge him, he believed Liu Bige wouldn't be exaggerated.

He had already read the script.

From the content of the script, he didn't really feel that the process of entering this role would trap him so deeply.

Is it because he hasn't really walked into the role yet, so he thinks so?

Lu Yan He has only made very basic preparations now.

Sorting out his lines, marking all the subtext with keywords.

Especially this kind of spy play, he already knows the ending and has a God's eye view.

But when acting, he doesn't know, so he has to list many options for the development of things to support his survival dilemma and choice entanglement.

Where will the problem be?

Lu Yan He decided to start really pondering the script.

Maybe there is no problem with the script, but Liu Bige collaborated with him on *Late Spring*, knows his habit of acting, so is he worried that his acting habit will cause problems?

Lu Yan He's habit of shaping a role is actually the same as many actors, which is writing a biography.

But it is different. The biography written by other actors starts with 'I', from the perspective of 'I' to sort out 'my' thoughts and feelings.

And Lu Yan He's way is to write letters to the role, starting from 'you'.

It is a dialogue with oneself.

Just at this time, Wen Shengming suddenly contacted him:

Have time to meet tomorrow?
