Chapter 742

Uber Clark finally decided to take the script back and read it carefully.

"Can I take this back directly?"

"Of course." Lu Yan He nodded.

He knew that in Hollywood, many people, in order to keep the script confidential, generally require actors to read the script on-site before the actor is confirmed to act, and take it away after reading.

When Kate Winslet acted in Woody Allen's "Wonder Wheel," the script was brought to the UK by someone arranged by the film company, found Kate, and waited on-site for her to finish reading the script, and then took it away.

Lu Yan He feels that although doing so has benefits, it also has very inconvenient places.

Especially, he is not Woody Allen, and hasn't reached the degree where a script will be "stolen" in various ways.

"However, the script should remain in your hands, including your agent. I hope that before you want to act yourself, don't let them see it first." Lu Yan He said, "I don't want to receive calls recommending actors to me."

Uber Clark laughed and said okay.

He added: "Lu, when did you want me to act in this role?"

Lu Yan He hesitated about whether to tell the truth about this matter and decided to tell a beautiful lie.

"In December last year, after meeting you a few times at some activities, I had this idea." Lu Yan He said.

In the original version of "Red Eye," the actor who played the male lead and the film's villain, Cillian Murphy, Nolan's favorite actor, his performance in "Red Eye" can be said to be the first deep impression left in Hollywood—

It is said that Nolan also knew him from this film.

Lu Yan He likes Nolan's casting director John Papsidera's evaluation of Murphy very much: he has a special temperament, radiating wisdom at all times, but also carrying mischief and mystery, and there is a kind of uneasy darkness behind his eyes.

This is a very precious trait in an actor.

Uber Clark has such a trait.

And he has such a trait, which is what Lu Yan He felt every time his gaze met his.

Perhaps, only Lu Yan He felt it.

The quiet gaze that carries a bit of uneasy dark side, radiating from looking at his biggest competitor, while he himself is not a malicious person.

Before boarding the plane back to the country, Lu Yan He sat in the waiting room and sent an email to Uber Clark, which contained only one paragraph:

Uber, you asked me when I thought of finding you to act in this film. I thought about it carefully, it was some moments when we saw each other across the crowd. You are a kind, righteous person, but we all have to face the weaknesses of human nature. Combining such traits with Jackson, infinitely magnifying them, you became the unique candidate for Jackson in my heart.

After he slept on the long flight and woke up again, read half of Liu Jiazhen's new book, the plane landed.

Lu Yan He stretched, got up to take his carry-on suitcase and backpack, met with Zou Dong and Wang Biao, and walked towards the exit.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Lu Yan He picked it up and found it was an email replied by Uber Clark: Obviously, I cannot refuse you.

Lu Yan He laughed.

Long Yan.

Huang Tai walked into Huang Zong's office and said: "Lu Yan He returned to the country today."

Huang Zong asked: "Have you made an appointment with him?"

Huang Tai shook her head: "Not yet. This time going to talk to him must be foolproof. If he still refuses to accept, we can only start the backup plan. The sequel to 'Burning Fire' must start filming this year."

Huang Zong: "20 million remuneration, 5% overseas revenue share, 28% character derivative revenue share, this condition has already reached the top. Even Shang Yongzhou doesn't have as high as him. If he is still not satisfied, it can only be like this."

Huang Tai nodded: "Sigh, he just won an Oscar, and his momentum is strong. I guess it's hard to talk."

Huang Zhongjing said: "This time you make an appointment, I will meet him and talk."

"Don't I need to go?" Huang Tai was stunned, a bit surprised.

Huang Zhongjing said: "Before, you had a little unhappiness with him. This time I will go alone to see what he is thinking. If it really doesn't work, then start the backup plan."

Huang Tai took a deep breath, "Okay."

Huang Zhongjing added: "In addition, this time let Zhang Yang withdraw from the publicity work of the 'Burning Fire' series."

Huang Tai looked at Huang Zhongjing in shock.

Zhang Yang is the publicity director of Long Yan who was yin-yang Lu Yan He in the circle of friends before.

He is also a veteran who has known Huang Tai and Huang Zong for a long time, known each other in humble beginnings, and fought together.

Huang Zhongjing: "Hope this can make Lu Yan He loosen his mouth."

Huang Tai: "No, let Zhang Yang withdraw from the publicity of the 'Burning Fire' series, are you serious? At the beginning he—"

"I didn't let him withdraw from the position of publicity director." Huang Zhongjing interrupted Huang Tai, his expression two points more severe, "The projects Lu Yan He cooperates with us, besides 'Burning Fire,' there is also 'Dragon Inn.' Unless Long Yan doesn't associate with Lu Yan He like Jingtai in the future and doesn't need his cooperation, otherwise, stopping losses in time is better than cutting off the tail of a gecko later."

Huang Tai didn't speak.

After Lu Yan He returned to Ziyuanqiao, the first thing was to organize his luggage and then clean—actually, there is an aunt who comes to clean regularly, but Lu Yan He wants to do it himself, through this daily behavior, to get out of the completely different state of the past few months.

Return to life.

After cleaning, Lu Yan He bought some vegetables on the mobile app, cooked a meal himself, turned on the projector, and ate while watching the third season of "My Own Swordsman" broadcast during the Spring Festival.

A meal took almost an hour.

After eating and drinking, he took a book and sat on the sofa to read.

While reading, a wave of sleepiness struck.

His head tilted, and the book fell out of his hand.

Slept.

Stealing half a day of leisure from life.

Lu Yan He knows that he is not in such a state of mind.

However, before he drifted into a deeper coma, a thought flashed through his mind:

This kind of life where you can sleep when you want to sleep is too cool.

When he woke up, it was just evening.

◆￠o

Twilight gathered outside the window.

The sunset is probably the world's biggest filter. Under its modification, everything becomes soft and beautiful.

Lu Yan He yawned long, sat with dull eyes, waiting for his sleepy eyes to recover spirit.

At this time, Li Pengfei sent him a message: Do you want to go to that noodle shop they used to go to near No. 13 Middle School.

The shredded meat dry noodles made by the boss there are a must.

Lu Yan He came back to his senses instantly.

Sober.

He replied: Go!

Li Pengfei: Then I'll drive to pick you up?

Lu Yan He said: Okay.

He looked at his messy hair, took a hat and put it on, found a pair of sunglasses and put them on, wearing a T-shirt that was wrinkled because he was pressing on the sofa to sleep just now, covered with a jacket outside. When Li Pengfei arrived, he stepped into a pair of lazy shoes and went out.

Li Pengfei watched him get in the car and smiled, "Yo, you are... just woke up?"

"Almost." Lu Yan He took off his sunglasses and asked: "Why did you think of asking me to eat noodles today?"

"Based on your habit, just returned to the country, you definitely don't want to contact any people or things at work, so it's highly likely you'll just stay alone, so I asked."

Lu Yan He has more and more friends, but those who truly understand him are actually just those few.

Li Pengfei has seen him very little over the years, but it seems that nothing has changed between them, not a bit of unfamiliarity.

Some friends are different after all.

They returned to No. 13 Middle School together.

Their alma mater.

It is also the place where they met.

In a blink of an eye, they have known each other for almost eight years—Lu Yan He is talking about himself who came to this space-time.

For Li Pengfei, it is nine years.

Of course, this is not important.

It's just that people often comfort themselves that they are very young, and then inadvertently, life will remind you, no, there is already something called time in your life.

Once time comes into your life, it is very difficult for you to be truly, wantonly young.

However, fortunately, as long as friends are still by your side, as long as time will not take away those truly important people.

"I have already assembled the team for the documentary you mentioned before." Li Pengfei said in the car, "Will set off in April, go to the first place."

"Where?"

"Hengsha." When Li Pengfei said this place name, Lu Yan He couldn't help but jump his eyebrows, "Here... is a desert, right? Are you going into the desert?"

Li Pengfei nodded and said: "I have always wanted to go there."

Lu Yan He: "Heard that people go missing there from time to time."

"As long as you don't take risks and walk fixed routes, it's fine." Li Pengfei said, "The local guides have already been contacted, three at the same time, and my dad is also watching me."

"Uncle?"

"Ever since I often go to the wild, he hired two people to follow me all year round and watch me." Li Pengfei also had a helpless face, "At first I wanted to stop them, but the world is not mine. Wherever I go, they can also go."

Lu Yan He nodded: "It's fine if you go to a safer place, but you always drill into those dangerous places, and besides these, you don't think about your family's situation, in case you are kidnapped..."

Li Pengfei: "You are outrageous enough, kidnapping is said out."

Lu Yan He: "Who knows, who knows if there is a case of ten thousand."

Li Pengfei: "If you and my dad sit together, you can definitely chat for a whole night."

Lu Yan He: "Indeed haven't seen Uncle for a long time."

"You are really funny." Li Pengfei said, "What's good to see him?"

"You are also really funny, nothing good to see, but I have seen him so many times before." Lu Yan He said speechlessly, "Every year I film advertisements for the new products your family launches, I have to film twice. You say what's good to see? He is your biological father, and my gold master father."

"Heh." Li Pengfei rolled his eyes.

Lu Yan He laughed.

"You do this documentary, leave it to me." Lu Yan He said, "Broadcast, distribution, these things, I will find someone to do."

Li Pengfei nodded.

"It can only be done by you. Besides you, I don't know anyone else who can do it."

The two came to the noodle shop near No. 13 Middle School.

Fortunately, the noodle shop is still there.

Not only is the noodle shop still there, but the boss is also still that boss.

Because now at this time, it is already time for No. 13 Middle School to have evening self-study, the noodle shop is deserted.

This is also good.

Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei entered the shop, sat down, and waited for Lu Yan He to take off his sunglasses, the boss recognized him.

"Aren't you Lu Yan He?"

"Right." Lu Yan He nodded with a smile, "Does the boss still remember me?"

"Remember, remember, you two often came when you were in school before, and came a few times later, but didn't come much." The boss said, "What do you eat? Still shredded meat noodles with fried eggs, and a cup of mung bean paste?"

"You remember what we like to eat usually?" Lu Yan He asked in surprise.

The boss smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and raised his hand to point.

On the menu hanging on the wall of the shop, the first line was written with the words "Lu Yan He Set Meal."

"Many people come here for the name, wanting the few items you usually order, so we simply wrote a Lu Yan He set meal."

Lu Yan He: "..."

Li Pengfei was overjoyed and took out his phone to take pictures.

The boss said: "This shouldn't be infringing, right?"

Looking at the words "15 yuan" following the Lu Yan He set meal, Lu Yan He smiled, "Not infringing, I authorize."

The boss immediately said: "Then can I take a group photo with you later and hang it in the shop?"

"Sure." Lu Yan He nodded.

He revisited the old place with Li Pengfei, ate noodles, took a group photo with the boss, walked out of the noodle shop, and went to the gate of No. 13 Middle School to turn around.

The security guard looked suspiciously at these two men who were still wearing sunglasses late at night, sneaky, so he paid unkind attention to them.

Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei didn't enter the school either.

Just across the school gate, took a look, and was satisfied.

Unexpectedly, someone ran to the school gate in a hurry, a woman, a familiar figure.

Liu Qin, their head teacher at the time.

Li Pengfei shouted in surprise: "Liu Laoshi!"

Liu Qin was stunned, stopped, looked at them, and recognized them immediately.

"Li Pengfei, Lu Yan He!" She looked at them in surprise, "You, you, why are you here? Is this to see your alma mater?"

Li Pengfei pointed to Lu Yan He and said: "Didn't he just return to the country? I grabbed him out for a stroll."

Liu Qin said "Ah ya," and said: "Right! Haven't congratulated you on winning the Oscar yet!"

She opened her arms kindly, hugged him, and hugged Li Pengfei again.

"Although I really want to chat with you again, I have to go in immediately." Liu Qin said, "Two students in the class are fighting, waiting for me to deal with it. Do you want to go into the school to see?"

Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei looked at each other, shook their heads, and said: "Liu Laoshi, we won't go in. You go deal with things, we will come to see you later."

"Okay." Liu Qin nodded, "I won't accompany you to chat, bye-bye."

She hurried and ran again.

"Liu Laoshi is really a good teacher."

"Hmm."

The two strolled around the road outside the school, Li Pengfei suddenly invited: "Do you want to come to my house to play games?"

Going to Li Pengfei's house to play games was one of the few rest and entertainment in Lu Yan He's entire high school life.

Lu Yan He nodded with a smile.

That night, they played games until two in the morning.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Pengfei's dad came back. Seeing Lu Yan He suddenly came, although a bit surprised, he didn't disturb them, greeted them, and returned to his room.

At two in the morning, the two finally cleared the level.

"No, tired." Li Pengfei put down the handle, and people lay on the floor.

Lu Yan He lay down with him.

"Haven't played games so happily for a long time." Li Pengfei said.

Lu Yan He nodded, "Me too."

"Are you able to rest for a period of time next?"

"Almost, only need to film some advertisements for brands next month." Lu Yan He said, "Besides that, no other work."

"Have a good rest." Li Pengfei said with a smile, "I saw you today, people are haggard, I thought you would be spirited and proud."

Lu Yan He: "Who told me that I am a person who cannot simply enjoy happiness and is always internally consumed."

"Deserve it."

"Hmm, deserve it."

Long time no see, eating, chatting, playing games with Li Pengfei, talking about people and things that have nothing to do with the film and television industry, instead, it was that period of high school, some stories of Li Pengfei hiking in the wild, his quarrels and reconciliation with Xu Zijun.

It was a completely daily, trivial, and somewhat unique life.

Lu Yan He slept at Li Pengfei's house, and when he woke up, it was only eight o'clock.

Probably because he slept too long the day before, he actually wasn't that short of sleep.

He came out of the guest room, Li Pengfei hadn't woken up yet, the door was closed tightly.

Lu Yan He had been to this house many times and was very familiar with the structure of the house.

He went downstairs familiarly, first went to pour himself a glass of water, drank it gulp by gulp, sat quietly for two minutes, then he came back to his senses, picked up his phone.

Sure enough, some messages were not replied.

Lu Yan He replied one by one, and then prepared to boil some coffee for himself to drink.

At this time, Li Luzhi came back wearing sportswear.

"Uncle, morning." Lu Yan He greeted with some surprise.

Li Luzhi smiled at him and said: "Morning."

He asked: "Do you have arrangements later? If you are not in a hurry to leave, there is just something I want to chat with you about."

Lu Yan He nodded and said: "I have nothing to do today, resting."

Li Luzhi nodded.

He went to wash up.

Lu Yan He also went to the guest room to wash up, and by the way, called Chen Siqi.

She was also awake, asking him why he woke up so early.

She knew he played games with Li Pengfei until very late yesterday.

After the call, when going downstairs again, Li Luzhi was already making breakfast.

Although Lu Yan He knew very well that this was definitely not the life routine of a company boss like Li Luzhi, this scene still made Lu Yan He feel some long-standing, familiar envy—envy of Li Pengfei.

He has always envied that Li Pengfei has such a father.

Although busy, Li Pengfei has never lacked happiness and security from his family.

This is what Lu Yan He envies most.

This must be that Li Pengfei's family did a very good job in many places to achieve it.

Li Luzhi boiled seafood porridge, fried a plate of dumplings, and mixed a portion of avocado.

Light, but the taste is very good.

Lu Yan He and Li Luzhi are not strangers.

Since the Xueyou APP, many new products of Li Luzhi's company have had Lu Yan He as the spokesperson.

As long as the product is still being done and has not been taken offline due to market changes, Lu Yan He's endorsement has never ended.

Just like Xueyou, his first endorsement has been renewed three times so far, endorsing for eight years, almost nine years.

What Li Luzhi wants to chat with Lu Yan He about today is the adjustment of the company's business segments—that's right, they are also thinking about the possibility of expanding into the entertainment industry.

Any company that grows big and strong will have more and more business segments.

Entertainment is not just film and television; it is a big concept.

What Li Luzhi and the others are considering is to cultivate and exert force in the peripheral aspects of cultural creation, which conforms to the tone of his company, a company with manufacturing and technology as its main productive forces.

Li Luzhi wants to understand the market of film and television peripherals from Lu Yan He.

Linghe is the only one in China that does this well.

Lu Yan He shared his views on this piece with him, and the conclusion is that this is a market with great potential.

"It's just that it hasn't really been opened up yet."

Need to rest for a while recently, so write slowly. The following will restore large chapters. Don't rush, be calm, the future is long.

Recommend "Sword of Demon Hunting," already 150,000 words, the follow-up reading is rising, looks like it's written well. Self-praise again, haha. (End of chapter)
