Chapter 908: Kiss

The conversation between Zhan Yun and Yin Xincheng made the others tacitly keep silent for a moment; no one spoke to intervene, lest they be affected by the smoke of their battlefield.

The two were like fighting cocks, attacking each other with one word after another, lasting for about ten minutes, and finally got tired.

Zhan Yun lifted her eyelids, gave Yin Xincheng a roll of her eyes, and said: "You organized this gathering today; you don't want them to sit here and listen to us two argue, right?"

Yin Xincheng: "If it weren't for you, we would have been chatting normally long ago. The villain complains first."

Zhan Yun covered her chest in disbelief, as if she were about to explode with anger.

Bo Jin and Wen Minglan finally started to take action at this time—pulling her hand, gently soothing her, signaling her not to be angry with Yin Xincheng anymore.

Yin Xincheng made a grimace indicating he was speechless.

Lu Yan He said with a smile: "Truly wonderful. Later I will send you an authorization agreement; I want to put a lot of the content of your two's argument into the script. Sure enough, life is the best screenwriter; I couldn't think of such wonderful lines even if I racked my brains."

Yin Xincheng: "Please, don't make fun of us at this time."

"I'm not making fun of you." Lu Yan He shook his head, "I'm serious."

Zhan Yun immediately raised both hands: "Authorization, I authorize it 100%, just to let the audience see how outrageous this guy Yin Xincheng is."

"Uh... maybe I want to use these lines for your and Yan Liang's characters." Lu Yan He chuckled.

It had nothing to do with Yin Xincheng at all.

Yan Liang immediately chimed in: "Oh, what a pity, then we should have recorded that scene just now, so I could observe and learn."

Yin Xincheng looked at Lu Yan He and Yan Liang in disbelief.

Lu Yan He and Yan Liang shrugged their shoulders in unison, signaling with their eyes, "We suggest you shut up honestly now."

Seeing this, Yin Xincheng swallowed his anger.

During the meal, Lu Yan He found an opportunity to tell them about the concert at the end of August.

"If you are free that day, we will send you tickets." Lu Yan He said, "You are welcome to come."

Hearing about the concert, the others cheered with surprise.

"You are finally going to hold a concert! I've seen news online saying you were going to hold a concert for several years." Bo Jin said, "This news hasn't been made public yet, right?"

"Yes, not yet, still in preparation." Lu Yan He said, "I hope everything goes smoothly."

"Do you need us to go on stage as guests?" Bo Jin asked again.

Lu Yan He shook his head: "This time we won't invite guests to the stage for the concert; it's just a stage for the three of us, considered a commemoration."

Yan Liang said with a smile: "Yes, we just hope this concert can be simpler, without any commercial design, and we don't want to design the segments to be too complicated. Just a few solo songs for each of the three of us, and then chorus, just holding such a concert."

"Then I must strive to be there!" Bo Jin's excitement was beyond words, "I'll send a message to my agent immediately and ask her to help me clear that day."

The others, upon hearing this, followed suit and hurriedly cleared their schedules.

Fortunately, it's only the end of May now; generally speaking, work for the end of August wouldn't be set so early.

However, at this moment, Yin Xincheng was suddenly very sharp and asked: "Yan He, Yan Liang, you suddenly holding such a concert, is there any other reason?"

"Other reasons?" Lu Yan He didn't intend to tell them that he was preparing to propose to Chen Siqi that night, at least not to so many people so early. Once someone accidentally had a big mouth and leaked the news, it would be bad. "The three of us said a long time ago that we would hold a concert together because the three of us debuted as idol singers and later sang some songs. Compared to our current identity as actors, some fans like us because we sing, and we might not have many works to give back to them, so—"

"So we have to do such a concert." Yan Liang said, "Do you think we have any other reasons?"

Yan Liang immediately took over Lu Yan He's words, not letting Lu Yan He continue to explain on this matter—he heard that Lu Yan He didn't want to say so much at this time.

Yin Xincheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Because you guys haven't done it before, suddenly holding such a concert, maybe I'm thinking too much. It's fortunate that it's a concert for the three of you, otherwise I would suspect if one of you is going to propose to your current girlfriend at the concert."

The gazes of Zhan Yun, Wen Minglan, and Bo Jin shifted to Lu Yan He in unison.

Their gazes were silent and full of power—a power that went without saying.

Lu Yan He picked up his water glass calmly and drank water.

Yan Liang laughed out loud.

"You are really interesting. You just got divorced and you are so impatient to watch others walk into the grave of marriage?"

Yin Xincheng cursed, "Is it necessary to stab me again?"

Zhan Yun waved her hands twice, signaling Yin Xincheng to shut up.

"We will mock you for this for the rest of your life. I suggest you strengthen your heart management from now on, otherwise you will be stabbed until you are full of holes."

Yin Xincheng: "..."

This topic was thus brushed off with banter.

However, it was clear that the three women of *Friends* had all told Lu Yan He and Yan Liang with their respective eyes and micro-expressions that they had already guessed seven or eight out of ten.

Only Yin Xincheng, who proposed this guess, dispelled this suspicion from the bottom of his heart after Yan Liang's answer.

At the end of May, the entire *Jump Up* headquarters fell into a chaotic final preparation period because of the upcoming International Film Critics Film Festival.

The idle Lu Yan He was also grabbed by Lin Yu and Xu Zijun to take on a lot of work.

Yes, not Chen Siqi, but Lin Yu and Xu Zijun.

Chen Siqi hoped that Lu Yan He could take this opportunity to have a good rest.

But his old classmates didn't think so—

Lu Yan He was grabbed to do a lot of copywriting needed for the film festival.

"This is also a job that doesn't require dealing with people; you can still stay by yourself, you just need to hand the copy to us on time."

Lin Yu and Xu Zijun came and went in a hurry.

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

But being grabbed as a temporary laborer wasn't the first time, and Lu Yan He felt that since he was idle anyway, he started to ponder.

For the first time in a long time, he started a live stream.

Lu Yan He himself forgot how long it had been since he last live-streamed.

Up to now, he has not had any commercial cooperative relationship with any live streaming platform.

Except for the cooperation with Jiang Yin Publishing House, he has never sold any goods in his live streaming room.

Including the brands he endorses.

To some extent, this was explicitly required in the contract by Chen Ziyan to maintain his style, not to participate in any form of live streaming promotion.

Chen Ziyan doesn't look down on live streaming, but because the form of live streaming to sell goods is not high-end in the field of public opinion.

She must maintain Lu Yan He's image.

When the impression of selling goods in a live streaming room is the same as offline activities in the public mind, she can be indifferent.

This sudden live stream surprised many people.

Clicking in, it was the same as before.

Just a single camera, Lu Yan He sitting in front of the desk typing on the keyboard, occasionally getting up to take a book from the bookshelf and flipping through it.

The number of fans of his current live streaming account has already exceeded tens of millions.

Without any commercial operation, it was all supported by his popularity.

And many who clicked into the live streaming room for the name Lu Yan He, seeing this completely different style, were very confused and asked what Lu Yan He's live streaming room was for.

Many old fans who had followed for seven or eight years or even nearly ten years stood up one after another to explain that Lu Yan He's live streaming has always been this style, rarely speaking, almost no interaction, just setting up a camera to record.

At that time, the number of people online in the live streaming room was generally in the double digits, and when there were more, it could reach three digits.

Now it's different; it's still the same style, but the number of people online in the live streaming room has never been lower than 20,000.

Even if he still has no action most of the time.

The barrage area became a place for everyone to chat and talk nonsense.

They were all chatting about various news about Lu Yan He.

—Have you heard? Lu Yan He, Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, and the others seem to be holding a concert at the end of August.

—There is such news every year, it must be fake.

—Yeah, the three of them are so busy now, all busy filming, where would they have time to hold a concert? They didn't even have time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

—Exactly, it is said that the Spring Festival Gala director group has been inviting them to the Spring Festival Gala, and they haven't agreed yet.

—However, Lu Yan He really doesn't seem to have any plans to join a crew in the second half of this year except for *Friends*.

—That's because Lu Yan He has a lot of movies to be released in the second half of this year. The two blockbusters he filmed in Hollywood are both going to be released, and there are works he wrote, his schedule simply can't fit new movies.

—How I wish the news that they are going to hold a concert together is true. It's been so long, and they have never held a concert.

—And there are no idol singers who have transformed into actors more successfully than them.

—As long as they are happy, I have no other hopes for them, as long as they can release a song for us to listen to from time to time in the future.

—However, my uncle is in charge of the equipment for the concert in Yuming City. I heard that there is indeed a very high-standard concert at the end of August, and all kinds of equipment are rented at the top level, but I don't know whose concert it is.

—Is it possible that it is really held by Lu Yan He and the three of them?

The news slowly fermented.

When Lu Yan He saw everyone's heated discussion from the barrage area of the live streaming room, he opened his mouth in surprise.

He didn't expect the news to spread so fast.

Lu Yan He decided to turn a blind eye, said goodbye, and ended the stream.

However, the surprised expression on Lu Yan He's face was still screenshotted by many fans.

They all took this expression as evidence, believing that there would really be a concert at the end of August, otherwise why would there be such a surprised expression on Lu Yan He's face?

Why was he so surprised?

Lu Yan He had to say that their insight was also quite sharp.

Chen Ziyan asked him if he wanted to take the opportunity to officially announce this matter, but Lu Yan He decided to keep it under wraps for now.

"We haven't decided how to distribute the tickets." Lu Yan He said, "Announcing it in advance will cause a lot of trouble."

Chen Ziyan: "Except for tickets for friends and family, you, Zhibai, and Yan Liang each have 10,000 tickets that can be given to fans. No matter how you do it, I suggest that the three of you unify the standards, so that good things don't turn into bad things in the end."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"Thinking about it, maybe grabbing tickets is better." Lu Yan He said, "At first I didn't want to sell tickets to the public because I didn't want to make money and profit from this concert, and I didn't want scalpers to speculate on tickets, but with so many tickets, it's hard to give them out publicly and fairly in another way, which is easy to cause doubts. I'll discuss it with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang later, and still sell tickets to the public, but lower the price. At the same time, the ticket revenue will also be donated in the name of this concert. What do you think?"

"Doing this is very good." Chen Ziyan nodded, "Actually, doing this is the most trouble-free, because only people who are truly willing to spend money to buy tickets will cherish the value of this ticket and cherish this opportunity. For the kind you wanted to do at first, I was really worried that many people would muddle through to get tickets and then not come in the end."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"Yes."

Chen Ziyan: "Then... how is your preparation for the proposal?"

Lu Yan He smiled.

"Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared."

"Okay, we don't need to do anything, right?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Lu Yan He said: "You guys just wait for us at Huiziyuanqiao. If the proposal is successful, I will bring her back, and we will celebrate together."

Chen Ziyan: "Okay."

On June 13, Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi attended the North American premiere of *The Notebook* in New York together.

When asked by reporters why she walked the red carpet with Lu Yan He this time, Chen Siqi smiled and said: "Because this is a romance movie, no one is more suitable to walk the red carpet for this movie with Lu Yan He than me."

Chen Siqi used her smile and happiness to forcefully declare her sovereignty, which was also unexpected by many people.

This statement spread widely.

After the movie finished screening, someone took a photo of Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi kissing from a rear perspective and posted it online.

The kiss in that instant in the photo made netizens boil with discussion—

Because Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi rarely kissed so intimately in public.

On June 18, *The Notebook* was released simultaneously in more than 50 countries and regions around the world.

Lin Yu and Chen Qin watched this movie in a cinema in Yuming, China.

Subsequently, as the current executive editor-in-chief of *Jump Up*, Lin Yu posted a photo on her social platform, which was a photo of the same cinema group photo.

From a rear perspective, she took a photo of her and Chen Qin kissing under the ending credits of *The Notebook*.

Not long after that, Li Zhibai and Jiang Yuqian also took a photo of the same style and posted it on social media.

More and more couples began to replicate this scene.

On social media, a large number of cinema kissing photos of couples emerged.

It even set off a phenomenon.

This phenomenon also spread from China to the whole world.

Especially after several European and American stars also replicated this famous photo scene.

*The Notebook* opened globally in its first weekend, raking in $87.5 million at the box office, with $32 million in North America and $21 million in China, setting a box office record for a romance movie in the first weekend in the past five years.

The senior executives of Solon formulated a new contract overnight and contacted Lu Yan He, wanting to take back the cooperation for another romance movie script, *The Fault in Our Stars*.

Even if Lu Yan He wanted to use an all-Asian cast, they agreed.

Are you kidding? With the box office data of *The Notebook*, it looks like it's going to break records, and the global box office is heading toward $300-400 million. How could they dare to question that Lu Yan He's romance theme wouldn't sell?

*Love is Not Blind* sold over $10 million in North America, which was also an all-Asian cast, and it was a movie produced by a non-Hollywood company that didn't consider facing North American audiences when it was produced.

But this time, Lu Yan He refused without hesitation.

"All cooperation will be discussed after our three movies are finished."

The CEO of Solon flew directly to China to find Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He kindly invited him for afternoon tea, but the answer given still didn't change. ===== CHAPTER 909 =====
