Chapter 850: Let me do it

~13 min read 2,577 words

"Wei Xue was actually signed away by Chen Ziyan in advance."

Zhang Yuezhen was resentful in her heart and could not accept this matter.

Chen Pinhe asked: "When did they sign?"

"It should be after the last Feihong Awards." Zhang Yuezhen said. "At that time, the situation of Wei Xue winning the award was not clear. It's really interesting that Chen Ziyan was willing to sign."

At that time, Wei Xue's situation was indeed the kind that was most unwelcome by brokerage companies.

In terms of industry status, she was not a newcomer who was just starting out, although she actually was. In terms of representative works, she was the heroine of Director Yu Qin's debut, and her acting evaluation was very high. She received a lot of praise at the Venice International Film Festival, which meant that many brokerage companies could not sign her at the newcomer price. Aiming at this background, they must give some preferential treatment.

However, in terms of popularity, Wei Xue could directly be described as zero, and in terms of commercial value, it goes without saying.

This made brokerage companies sign her, and they had to face the situation of "spending money to earn shouts." It happened that Wei Xue was already in her thirties, and she was not a very beautiful image that looked like she would become popular, and even the "expected value of the future" was extremely low.

Of course, Wei Xue is different now. She won the Lingyun Awards Best Actress. Even if her popularity hasn't come up, with this award as a note, the audience will generally look at her highly. In the publicity, she is the queen, which is her commercial value.

Zhang Yuezhen said: "One step late. Originally, I wanted to sign her to our hands. She can act in many plays."

Chen Pinhe: "There are so many people in the entertainment industry who can act and have good acting skills. Why do you stare at Wei Xue alone?"

Zhang Yuezhen said: "What else could it be? This way, I can also have a good relationship with Yu Qin."

"Yu Qin has always been filming women's plays, and often female characters win awards. Male characters in her plays are just tools. Having a good relationship with her, I can't act in her plays either." Chen Pinhe said. "Do you want me to act as a set-in male lead in her play?"

Zhang Yuezhen shook her head.

"I don't mean that, but being friends with Yu Qin, some female actors in our company don't have the opportunity to participate in her plays?" Zhang Yuezhen said. "Husband, our company doesn't have only one actor, you."

Chen Pinhe didn't make a sound.

Zhang Yuezhen smiled at Chen Pinhe.

"Happy to win an award tonight?"

Chen Pinhe saw that Zhang Yuezhen's eyes were shining like stars.

"It's not the first time I've won an award." Chen Pinhe was calm. "However, this time winning the award, I really breathed a sigh of relief."

Zhang Yuezhen reacted for a while before she understood. Chen Pinhe still had Zheng Ximo and *The Pianist* and the "play bully" incident not long ago in his heart.

However, Chen Pinhe had this matter in his heart, and Zhang Yuezhen didn't find it strange. For so many years, the negative impact of the "play bully" incident on him could be ranked first. Chen Pinhe had not encountered such negative public opinion for too long.

Breathed a sigh of relief.

This sentence.

Zhang Yuezhen smiled.

"There is one more thing, husband. Actually, before at the Lingyun Awards ceremony, I met Ma Zhiyuan. Do you remember who he is?"

"Hmm, remember, what's wrong?"

"He came to greet me again tonight." Zhang Yuezhen said. "Although he didn't say it clearly, I think he seems to intend to make friends with me, I don't know if he wants to participate in our project, or wants to come to our company."

Chen Pinhe was a little confused.

"Isn't he an artist under Zhou Ping'an? Is he dissatisfied with Zhou Ping'an?"

"Maybe. Before, because Ma Zhiyuan got Xu Qinyin pregnant and refused to take responsibility, his reputation plummeted. Later, because he exposed many scandals, he was abandoned by Zhou Ping'an and turned to live streaming. I don't know what happened, but last year Zhou Ping'an gave him work again and took on an online movie *Scandal*, which unexpectedly became popular. It sold over 100 million at the box office on the video platform, and its popularity exceeded the theatrical films of the May Day schedule at that time, and then he became popular again."

Chen Pinhe said: "This kind of tainted artist, let's cooperate with him less."

"Originally I thought so too, but thinking again, why not cooperate?" Zhang Yuezhen said. "No matter what, he is really popular. Every move can be on the hot search, including *Scandal*, which is going to be a series of movies. I plan to communicate with Zhou Ping'an to see if he is willing to let go."

Chen Pinhe: "According to what you said, Ma Zhiyuan is so valuable, why would Zhou Ping'an let go easily?" Chen Pinhe asked.

Zhang Yuezhen laughed.

"Of course it's resource exchange." Zhang Yuezhen said. "He is now the person in charge of Shijin Artist Brokerage, and his company's business sector happens to overlap with ours. Both are mainly film and television production plus artist brokerage. Last time I met him and chatted, he mentioned to me that Shijin has several projects in preparation that want to invite you."

Chen Pinhe heard this and immediately said: "You wouldn't want to use me agreeing to help them act in a project to exchange for Ma Zhiyuan, would you?"

Zhang Yuezhen: "Can't I? The premise is of course that that project is not bad, worth you acting, and won't let you act in a garbage project."

Chen Pinhe: "That's okay."

Zhang Yuezhen laughed.

"Of course I will always put your interests first, don't worry." Zhang Yuezhen hugged Chen Pinhe's arm and stuck to it. "You are my husband, not them."

At 11 PM, Lu Yan He finished drinking with Li Zhibai and Jiang Yuqian and prepared to withdraw.

Li Zhibai's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Lu Yan He caught a glimpse of Ji Miao's name on his mobile phone screen.

"..."

Li Zhibai hung up directly and didn't answer.

The three of them got into the cars that came to pick them up. Li Zhibai sent a message to Ji Miao: So late, what are you doing?

Ji Miao: Hmph.

Ji Miao: Just now my agent received a call from a paparazzi, asking if I am in a relationship with you, saying they photographed some things and want to publish the news.

Li Zhibai's face changed immediately when he saw this message, and he called.

As a result, Ji Miao refused to answer.

Li Zhibai: "..."

Ji Miao: Now you know how to call me, think beautifully. I tell you, my agent has already denied it. Although I don't know what they photographed, I guess they mistook some woman for me. You'd better not be YP (hooking up) and photographed. Li Zhibai: Hook up your grandfather.

Ji Miao: Hehe, do you think I really don't know? I filmed with you.

Li Zhibai: You fix.

Ji Miao: Whatever you admit or not, I told you the news, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to sleep.

Ji Miao: Don't call me!

Li Zhibai was silent.

After hesitating for a moment, he took a screenshot and sent it to Lin Suyang.

Lin Suyang didn't sleep either, replied in seconds: I'll contact Ji Miao's agent to see which paparazzi it is. Damn, they asked Ji Miao, and no one came to ask me.

Li Zhibai: It's not certain that they are just bluffing.

Lin Suyang: It's also possible. They are not sure who the woman is, so they are testing possible people in this way.

Li Zhibai: Try to drag it until after *Love is Not Blind* is released before this matter is exposed. Don't affect the release of the movie. Everything else doesn't matter. Qianqian and I discussed it. After the movie is released, if we are really photographed by the media and paparazzi, or said something, we will both remain silent, not admit, not deny, just let everyone talk. What do you think?

Lin Suyang: Actually, this is the best. Once the news that you two are in a relationship is exposed, it will definitely be a bloody storm, and it will even attract attention not only domestically but also globally. After all, your popularity and fan magnitude are here.

Li Zhibai: Yes. Yan He reminded us before that we are not the kind of people who can completely ignore the attitude of fans. Once we really want to admit it, or really make it public as a couple, it may intensify many things. So, silence is better, let everyone slowly accept this fact.

Lin Suyang: No matter what, this matter cannot be transitioned smoothly. Even you two will be attacked by each other's fans. This is absolutely going to happen. You must be mentally prepared until two or three years later, when the wood is already a boat, just like you said, everyone slowly accepts this matter, and has to accept this matter.

Li Zhibai: If fans boycott and oppose on a large scale, will it affect our careers?

Lin Suyang: You want to say Jiang Yuqian's career, right? You may not care, but she can't not care. She has worked hard for so many years to get the status she has today. However, you can rest assured that she is not a female actor on the idol route. To some extent, even if the scolding is overwhelming, it will not affect her career base. You are the one with more girlfriend fans and wife fans. However, your personality, I guess you won't really care, especially since you have started to be a producer yourself.

Li Zhibai: As long as it doesn't affect Jiang Yuqian's career too much.

Lin Suyang said: But if your fans boycott her too crazily, it may affect her public image. The impact on film and television projects is relatively small, but business is relatively large. In terms of brand endorsements, public image is very important. No big brand is willing to cooperate with artists with greater controversy, even if she is already a popular international star.

Li Zhibai: My fans... might really be able to do such crazy things.

Lin Suyang: This is what you must bear, no way, but it is relatively okay, because your past star persona was never a nurturing boyfriend image that pleases fans. Your fans have never expected you to be single forever. Thank you for never saying you don't date. Every interview, when talking about the ideal type, when talking about this kind of topic, you never avoid it.

Li Zhibai: That's what I said, I haven't made my girlfriend public before, no one knows what will happen.

Lin Suyang: Don't worry, your work thickness is here. Even if some girlfriend fans leave, your base is still big enough.

Li Zhibai: I'm not worried about myself. When will I worry about my popularity falling? I wish my popularity would fall a bit, don't be blocked like a zombie siege every time I go out.

Lin Suyang: Pfft pfft pfft.

Li Zhibai: Sigh, I can't talk to you.

Lin Suyang: There is no agent in this world who can talk to you.

The next day, Lu Yan He returned to the *Friends* crew, and there was only one week left before the finalization.

And this season of *Friends* is also about to start airing this Friday.

In order to create momentum for the broadcast, Maxine, Yuehu TV, Beijiguang Video, Bingyuan Video... almost seven or eight teams came to the crew to record some publicity materials during the shooting gap, including interviews and some small games.

This show is popular to the point of no edge in China.

Not only is it destined to become the memory of a generation, but it also makes these leads integrate into everyone's memory with the characters of this show. Except for Lu Yan He and Yan Liang, the other four people, the public's impression of them is even based on the characters, not them personally.

And in addition to this work, Lu Yan He privately sent a message to Chen Ziyan, saying: Sister Ziyan, I have thought about how to do it.

Chen Ziyan: How do you want to do it?

Chen Ziyan didn't even ask Lu Yan He what he wanted to do, she knew what he was talking about.

Before, the incident of Yan Liang leaving the set accidentally caught an "inner ghost" who had contact with Zhang Yuezhen's side. Lu Yan He let Hu Siwei stand still, just to use this "inner ghost" to do some things one day.

Lu Yan He said: I want to pass a message through that "inner ghost."

Chen Ziyan asked: What message?

Lu Yan He: I want to buy an award, buy the Galaxy Award.

Chen Ziyan: Ah?

Lu Yan He: Because I saw Chen Pinhe win an award at the Lingyun Awards, I am very unhappy, I must suppress him in the three major awards. So, in order to be sure of winning, you decided to help me bribe the judges of the Galaxy Award, let me win the Best Actor again at the Galaxy Award.

Chen Ziyan: You want Zhang Yuezhen and Chen Pinhe to hear such news, and then?

Lu Yan He: I think they shouldn't be indifferent, right? Even feel that this is a good opportunity to attack me.

Chen Ziyan: Standing from their perspective, it is certainly so. However, this kind of thing, they didn't catch the handle, they definitely won't act rashly.

Lu Yan He: Then what if I hand over a handle to them? Send it to their hands, do you think they will want it.

Chen Ziyan: Yes, even if it is to find a "glove tool person" to attack you, even if it is a pretense, there is no loss to them.

Lu Yan He: Yes.

Chen Ziyan: I didn't understand, what is the significance of doing this?

Lu Yan He: I want to counter-general them.

Chen Ziyan: How to counter-general? They can do this through a "glove tool person." Unless we catch the handle of them instructing the "glove tool person," it is useless.

Lu Yan He: Can't we catch it?

Chen Ziyan: We are not filming a movie, we can't just turn someone around.

Lu Yan He: Ah... I thought for a long time before coming up with such an idea.

Chen Ziyan: It's my mistake. You have never thought of a trick to harm people. How can you expect you to come up with a brilliant means.

Lu Yan He: I feel you are laughing at my IQ.

Chen Ziyan: People should not run on a track that does not suit them.

Lu Yan He:...

Lu Yan He: Then what to do? Found this inner ghost, don't use it, what a pity.

Chen Ziyan: Sigh, let me do it. ===== CHAPTER 851 =====

Lu Yan He: "Then what should we do? Now that we've discovered this mole, it would be a pity not to make use of it."

Chen Ziyan: "Sigh, I'll handle it."
