She said: "If there is anything like Liu Min in the future, no matter who it is, I will directly reject it. When we first started this company, we set a rule that our projects for several artists cannot become a cake for them to meddle in, and exchanging benefits is even more unacceptable."Lu Qingzhen: "I thought Liu Min would be more lenient with you, after all, she has won the Best Actress Award at the Galaxy Awards before."
"That happened 20 years ago," Chen Ziyan said. "Besides, it has nothing to do with whether she is a movie queen or not. No matter who comes, this precedent cannot be set."
Lu Qingzhen nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Chen Ziyan: "She really is... Alas, but she wants to make the audience remember her again, so it is understandable that she is trying every means to make a comeback."
"If I had known this would happen, I would have quit when I was in my twenties and my career was at its peak, and went back to take care of my husband and children. Now that I want to come out and become famous again, no one remembers me." Lu Qingzhen said, "I can't bring myself to do it, so I have to play small roles."
"She hasn't acted for nearly 20 years, and her acting skills have indeed deteriorated a lot. In the few auditions I arranged for her, people said that her acting was average, which I didn't expect." Chen Ziyan shook her head and sighed, "The former queen of the screen is now disliked by some ordinary crews for her poor acting skills."
"This is too normal. Acting is a skill after all." Lu Qingzhen said, "If you don't use it for a long time, you will always lose your skills. I think it is really harder for outdated actors to become popular again. In addition to overcoming the lack of fame and attention, they also have to completely walk out of their previous halos and smooth their mentality. This is too difficult."
Chen Ziyan said: "Don't think about getting her roles to become popular again, but let her take on some variety shows. With her title of Best Actress at the Galaxy Awards, she should still be able to get some invitations from shows. After she gradually becomes popular, we can let her approach the crew."
Lu Qingzhen nodded.
-
"cheers!"
In a private room of an antique restaurant, Lu Yanhe, Chen Siqi, Linyu, Chen Qin, Li Pengfei, Xu Zijun and others gathered together and clinked glasses. The atmosphere was very lively.
Only in front of these few people would Lu Yanhe completely forget his identity as a celebrity artist.
It’s not that they won’t talk about the entertainment industry anymore, but in front of them, Lu Yanhe can regain the feeling he had before he became famous and was not surrounded by media cameras.
Lu Yanhe was particularly happy that they could still get together four years after graduating from high school.
The original intention of founding the "Jump Up" magazine has now been realized.
Moreover, the three couples here did not break up after four years of studying in different places.
It's really incredible.
Lu Yanhe himself knew very well how difficult this was.
It was at this time that Lu Yanhe suddenly realized that compared with four years ago, the slightly fat Xu Zijun had lost a lot of weight without knowing when.
It's not that she became as thin as a paper figure, but that she had an incredible transformation. She had lost weight little by little over the past four years, and Lu Yanhe hardly noticed anything in the meantime. He only felt that she slowly started to put on makeup and became more confident and beautiful than before.
If she hadn't been sitting next to Li Pengfei today, causing Lu Yanhe to suddenly recall the scene of that year, Lu Yanhe might still have been unable to react.
"The monthly sales of the physical magazine of Jump Up is now stable at around 16 to 19. The summer and winter special issues can get around 25, but basically there is not much change." Everyone at the table is related to Jump Up, and the common topic is basically centered around this magazine. Chen Siqi can't help but talk about the current achievements, "However, new media is indeed a big trend. After we changed the cultural supplement we made into an online cultural course APP, the download volume has exceeded 127 million times across all channels so far, and the number of registered users has reached million."
Chen Siqi turned to Lu Yanhe and smiled, "Your suggestion is indeed very good. We made a special APP and let our professors and scholars give lectures in the form of audio. It attracted a lot of people. Our background data shows that the peak usage time of this APP is the morning rush hour, the evening rush hour and before going to bed."
As an app with only about one million daily active users, it is far from being a commercial success. However, its influence and cultural value are unique. Moreover, it is also a successful derivative product of "Jump Up".
Lu Yanhe asked: "Is the program "China in Culture" also going to have a second season?"
"Yes." Chen Siqi said, "We have contacted twelve scholars, and each scholar will use three 40-minute programs to talk about one topic. Zijun is now responsible for connecting with Sister Zixing and Northern Lights Video for this program."
Xu Zijun nodded and said, "We spent a lot of effort to invite these twelve scholars, all of whom are top scholars in our country."
Lu Yanhe was a little curious and asked, "Isn't there anyone else trying to imitate and replicate similar programs?"
This type of program has extremely low production costs and is rarely copied.
Chen Siqi said: "Lighthouse Video tried to copy it, but failed miserably. The number of views per episode was less than 50,000. Later, everyone gave up. Such programs without celebrities or stars are too easy to become niche. Oh, by the way, many TV stations have contacted us many times, asking us if we plan to make a sequel, and want to ask us for the copyright. They want to make a second season. After knowing that we are going to do it ourselves, they want to buy the copyright again."
Lu Yanhe said: "Then what do you say? Did you give it to me?"
"Northern Lights refused," Chen Siqi said, "They insisted on having the exclusive broadcast."
Lu Yanhe said: "It is not a loss to sell this kind of program to TV stations for broadcasting together. I don't think it will affect the data of online broadcasting. It may even promote it. After all, the middle-aged and elderly groups are the main force of TV station audiences, but not the main force of video platforms."
Chen Siqi spread out his hands and said helplessly: "Northern Lights Video would rather increase the purchase price than broadcast with the TV station."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanhe couldn't help but sigh.
He also understands what Northern Lights Video did.
For video platforms, they all have a very similar concept, which is the significance of exclusive broadcasting to the platform.
It seems that only exclusive broadcasting can attract more viewers to this platform.
This is because of the different profit models.
For video platforms, the more users they have and the larger the number of paying users, the economic benefits generated are not simply “1+1=2”, but exponential growth.
In the online world, the relationship between the number of users and value is like this: they are not in a relationship of addition or subtraction, but rather a relationship of multiplication or division.

After dinner and some drinks, they all felt a little tipsy.
They moved on and went to KTV in a noisy manner.
When young people go to KTV to sing, they just sing.
One after another, no one pursued singing beautifully, and most of the time, everyone just sang various songs in a funny way.
Then, someone began to feel a little tired and couldn't sing anymore, so he lay down on the sofa.
It was at this time that KTV began to focus on love songs and slow songs.
The girls took the microphone.
Lu Yanhe, Li Pengfei and Chen Qin withdrew from this world, left the box, and went to buy food and drinks for them.
Li Pengfei hooked his arm around Lu Yanhe's neck and said, "Just now when we were having dinner, I heard you guys keep talking about 'Jump Up'. Suddenly I felt it was a pity. If I had worked with you guys on 'Jump Up' at that time, even though it wasn't something I was interested in, it would have been quite interesting to play with you guys."
"I told you a long time ago, but you didn't believe me at the time." Lu Yanhe said, "It's not too late for you to join now."
"Forget it, why not join now?" Li Pengfei shook his head, feeling very melancholy. "But I really haven't figured out what I'm going to do after graduation."
Lu Yanhe: "Have you really not thought clearly about what you want to do in the future?"
"Really? Didn't I tell you earlier? I really didn't think I would have to work from nine to five in the future." Li Pengfei sighed, "But now that I think about it, this isn't right."
Lu Yanhe: "Not right?"
Li Pengfei said: "If I don't find a class to attend, it would be boring to just sit there doing nothing every day. I often feel bored now."
"Do you know how much hatred your words will cause?" Lu Yanhe retorted.
Chen Qin said silently beside him: "If I had a sack in my hand right now, I would definitely put it over his head."
Lu Yanhe: "Look."
Li Pengfei: "I'll shut up."
Lu Yanhe: "But, I'm serious, Brother Fei, if you haven't figured out what you want to do, then find a job that you don't dislike, and don't wait until the end of time."
"I don't want to either. I know some friends whose families are also quite wealthy. They really have never worked a day in their lives. They do nothing but eat, drink and have fun every day." Li Pengfei sighed. "Actually, I could have been happy with such a life."
"Then why can't you be happy now? Are you in Versailles? I'm really jealous." Chen Qin said.
Li Pengfei: "It's because you all have your own careers that I feel like I'm a stupid and superficial rich second generation if I don't find a good job. If I didn't have the stimulation of you friends, I wouldn't care about the value and meaning of life. Oh my god."
He slapped himself on the forehead.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Qin were both surprised by Li Pengfei's sudden "selfie".
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yanhe looked at him in surprise and asked.
Li Pengfei muttered: "I don't know whether I should lament whether I met the wrong person or the right person."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
It’s still the same Li Pengfei, and he still looks like a dog.
Chen Qin couldn't help himself and couldn't stop laughing.
"I'm really convinced." said Chen Qin.
Lu Yanhe originally wanted to say something, but when he heard Chen Qin say this with a smile, he also smiled for a moment and was too lazy to say anything.
Li Pengfei grumbled, but let him be.
He has that same old mouth, and has been like that since high school.
-
"Hey - Lu Yanhe -"
A surprised voice suddenly sounded.
Lu Yanhe subconsciously thought that he had met a fan.
In this small shop in the KTV, Lu Yanhe turned around in surprise, and then was even more surprised to find that it is true that people meet each other everywhere in life.
It turned out to be their high school classmate, Mei Ping.
"Mei Ping!" Lu Yanhe looked at the other person in surprise and almost didn't recognize her.
"Hey, Li Pengfei! Chen Qin!" Mei Ping's face was filled with an incredible smile of surprise, and she patted the three of them on the shoulders, "What are you three doing having a party here?"
"This is our last winter break, and you're not allowed to get together?" Li Pengfei looked at Mei Ping and snorted twice, "How dare you say that? I heard you're getting married soon?"
Mei Ping was still as impetuous as she was back then. She immediately widened her eyes, looked at Li Pengfei in shock, and asked, "How did you know?"
Li Pengfei: "How come I don't know? It's not certain that this news will get out? When are you getting married? Why didn't you send us the invitation?"
Mei Ping smiled and said, "My wedding is not held in Yuming, so how can I send you invitations? It's like I'm asking you for money."
"Where is your wedding?"
"Jiangjin," Mei Ping said, "My boyfriend is from Jiangjin."
"Is your boyfriend your classmate?" Li Pengfei asked.
"Yes, college classmates." Mei Ping nodded. "When the time comes, I may just hold a simple wedding ceremony in Yuming, in a small circle with some of my relatives and family members. So I thought I wouldn't tell you. It happens to be July, and everyone has just graduated and started working, so they are busy."
Li Pengfei: "You are so considerate."
The sarcasm is so evident that it is beyond words.
Mei Ping clenched her fist and gestured, meaning that if Li Pengfei continued to complain, she would take action.
Lu Yanhe looked at Mei Ping with a smile and said, "Congratulations, you are the first one in our class to get married."
Mei Ping showed a very happy smile on her face.
"The main reason is that he is going to study abroad in September. I don't want to wait for him foolishly, so I told him that he should either give me an explanation or we should call it quits." Mei Ping said, "He will be studying abroad for two or three years. I don't want to wait for him like a husband waiting for his husband."
"Oh my god, are you going with him or what?" Li Pengfei asked, "So we're going to be separated now, right?"
Mei Ping said: "I won't go with him. I want to pursue my career."
"Have you secured a job?"
"It's settled, Jiangjin Bank." Mei Ping said, "Give me some savings when the time comes so I can complete the task."
Li Pengfei made several "tsk tsk tsk" sounds.
"By the way, Linyu, Zijun, Baiyu and the others are here too." Lu Yanhe said, "Are you here with your friends tonight? Go meet them."
Mei Ping's face was full of surprise. "Really? Send me the box number and I'll come over later. I've been out for a while, so I have to go back and say hello. I'm not here with my friends. The Yuming people in our university are organizing a party tonight."
Lu Yanhe and the others nodded.
-
It's a different feeling to meet old classmates after a long separation, even if the relationship was not that close back then.
About half an hour later, Mei Ping came over.
Lu Yanhe has always had an indescribable sense of "awe" when it comes to the scene of girls meeting each other.
He really wanted to know why they could chat so much as soon as they met, talking about everything from heaven to earth, without any strangeness or estrangement from not seeing each other for a long time, as if they were just sitting together eating and chatting last night.
Oh, no, Li Pengfei also has this ability.
Lu Yanhe said to Chen Qin: "You and I are the only ones who are more socially anxious."
Chen Qin looked at him in shock and asked, "Huh?"
Lu Yanhe asked: "Aren't you socially phobic?"
"I won't mention whether I have social phobia or not, but what makes you say you have social phobia?" Chen Qin questioned, "No wonder Lin Yu said that you sometimes have an inaccurate understanding of yourself."
Lu Yanhe: "...What's inaccurate?"
Chen Qin: “You are too self-deprecating.”
Wow, isn’t this the lyrics that Chen Ziyan said about him?
Lu Yanhe: "..."
I don’t know what the girl said, but after a while, when Mei Ping left, she said, “It’s a deal,” with a smile on her face.
"What did you agree on?" Lu Yanhe asked Chen Siqi.
Because she was not from their class, Chen Siqi was the only girl who did not join in the conversation enthusiastically.
Chen Siqi said: "They said that they would organize a party for the whole class during the Chinese New Year."
Lu Yanhe: "Oh, Li Pengfei said so too."
"The atmosphere in your class is quite good, much better than ours." Chen Siqi smiled, "We have never gotten together since graduation."
Lu Yanhe: "Then you should integrate into our class. You are already familiar with all of us anyway."
Chen Siqi: "That's the only way."
-
It was one o'clock in the morning when they finished their party and were staggering to leave.
"Zijun, don't go back tonight. Sleep with me." Chen Siqi called.
Xu Zijun lives far away, and it will take more than an hour to get back home.
Li Pengfei would definitely send him there and back, which would be even farther.
Xu Zijun nodded, "Okay."
Lu Yanhe and Li Pengfei sent them back to the hotel and said goodbye to everyone else at the entrance of the KTV.
Chen Qin suddenly pointed across the street and reminded Lu Yanhe: "There seem to be paparazzi over there, and some are holding cameras."
Lu Yanhe looked and saw two familiar faces, they must be paparazzi.
He raised his hand and made a "yeah" sign to them.
"Ignore them and go."
Everyone dispersed.
"Hey!" Li Pengfei suddenly shouted to the two paparazzi across the street, "If you also took pictures of us, please photoshop them for us!"
Lu Yanhe and the others were stunned, then burst into laughter.
The paparazzi across the street looked at each other in confusion, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
Finally, one of them complained to the person next to him: "What the hell is this!"
-
"A super relaxed star."
"I've never seen a star who doesn't consider himself a star more than him."
“The sense of relaxation that only top stars have.”
……
A video of Lu Yanhe making a V sign to the paparazzi camera after coming out of a KTV after a party with his classmates went viral on the Internet, making all his fans "overwhelmed with cuteness".
That’s the word they used.
"'Squidward' is still on the air, and the creators are busy promoting it, but he is the only one who has time to get together with his classmates." Someone complained.
Someone immediately said, "He's a screenwriter, and he's done his job by writing excellent scripts. What are you doing? Yan He is here to promote? If he promotes, then there will be no exposure for your brother Zefan? When you come to criticize others, remember to hide your own attributes first, don't embarrass yourself."
"The one above is a Zefan who is used to hating. Sisters, don't be provoked. We Zefan fans are very grateful to Yan He for choosing him to play in "Squid Game". All haters will die!"
……
Just like this colorful world, even if the Internet world remains the same over and over again, it will not make some people lose interest in it.
Lu Yanhe scrolled through these unremarkable news and became increasingly indifferent to the content.
Basically, it was impossible to cause any fluctuations in his heart.
This kind of meditation-like mentality is really cultivated over time. When the sixth episode of "Squid Game" was broadcast on Northern Lights Video, the cumulative number of viewers had exceeded 3200 million, breaking the record for the fastest number of viewers to reach 3000 million.
However, unlike many of Lu Yanhe's previous highly acclaimed dramas, "Squid Game" this time has attracted a lot of doubts.
Many people say that although the production of the drama "Squid Game" is very sophisticated, the script is actually a very simple and boring script, and the story is not original. If it were not for such a configuration, the drama would never have been so popular.
There are quite a few people who agree with this statement.
However, these comments were all within Lu Yanhe's expectations. The original version itself was not a highly praised or acclaimed drama.
Fire is enough.
Jiang Jun, Jiang Yuqian and Liu Zefan grabbed the three biggest dividends from this drama.
Especially Jiang Jun, he became famous almost overnight.
He played a down-and-out middle-aged man in the drama, and his performance was praised by everyone as "not fake."
To be praised for your acting skills in this type of drama means that you have really acted well enough.
Chen Ziyan said: "For such a popular drama, basically whoever plays the role will become popular. You insisted on giving this role to Jiang Jun at the beginning. Did you ever think that it would become so popular today?"
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Mr. Jiang Jun to play the role." Lu Yanhe laughed, "How great! He also came to our "Wulin Wai Zhuan" to play Constable Xing. Now "Wulin Wai Zhuan" also has an all-star cast."
Chen Ziyan: "With your current appeal, you can basically create an all-star cast for every play."
Lu Yanhe: "Several people have come to ask me if there are any roles suitable for them in the second season of Squidward Gaming."
Indeed, from the first season, except for the male protagonist, the old villain behind the scenes, and the male policeman played by Liu Zefan, all the other protagonists are dead.
There will definitely be a lot of new characters in the second season.
Chen Ziyan asked: "What do you think?"
"I don't have any ideas yet, and I haven't even written the script yet." Lu Yanhe said, "But I definitely want to make this level challenge mode in the second season, and I do need a new group of contestants."
Chen Ziyan: "Then there will indeed be some new roles coming out. If you organize auditions at that time, the entire entertainment industry will probably be in a state of panic."
Lu Yanhe: "Let's write the script first. Once the script is finished, we can talk about other things."
Chen Ziyan: "If Jiang Jun and Liu Zefan's characters are both returning, what about Jiang Yuqian? Her character died."
Lu Yanhe: "Let me think about it. I don't want to use a twin story to keep Sister Yuqian in the second season. That would be ridiculous."
"That's true." Chen Ziyan nodded.
"There's no need to force a certain character to stay." Lu Yanhe said, "I'll just think about how to write a good story. I won't consider other things for now."
"This is the right way." Chen Ziyan nodded in agreement.
Chen Ziyan: "The production company of Angry Crows contacted me and said Erlangxia was very interested in the story of Squidward Games and asked if it was possible to get a license. They wanted to develop an original animation story based on this world view."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Really? Sure, of course." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Ziyan: "Well, I also think this is a very good cooperation. Their ability to produce animation is second to none in China."
Lu Yanhe: "I really like the animation "The Angry Crows". Do they want to develop it into an animated movie or an animated series?"
"They haven't decided yet." Chen Ziyan said, "I hope they can develop it into an animated film. I think this story is actually very suitable for being developed into a movie series."
"Maybe one day someone will want to develop it into a movie, but definitely not now." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "That's good. For a story, some people want to adapt it into a comic, some want to adapt it into an animation, and some want to do other development. These collaborations can extend the lifeline of this story and allow it to be seen by more people."
Chen Ziyan: "Your work is indeed very popular in this regard, but I understand why "Squid Game" is so popular. The subject matter is destined to make it popular. "Rouge", a somewhat literary love story, is also so popular. I really didn't expect that even Thailand wants to remake it."
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe looked surprised.
"You didn't expect it, did you? I didn't expect it either." Chen Ziyan shrugged. "I was very surprised when Xu Tianming and Chen Yin brought back this news."
Lu Yanhe: "Is it because of the unique charm of this story, or is it because the influence of the Audience Choice Award at the Jose-La Roche Film Festival is so great? This makes me want to submit all my films to the Jose-La Roche Film Festival."
"If you send a movie like Glory Road to the Jose-La Roche Film Festival, it will just be cannon fodder." Chen Ziyan laughed, "What the Jose-La Roche Film Festival hates most is a movie that's a bit boring and has a slow pace."
It's true that different film festivals foster different films.
Chen Ziyan: "But you know what, the Jose-La-Señora Film Festival has been asking me about the progress of your Love Letter. They still want to bring Love Letter to them for the premiere."
Lu Yanhe was not surprised at all that the Jose-Hilton Film Festival was paying much attention to "Love Letter".
The positioning of the Joseph-Henri Film Festival itself is to produce feature films that are popular with the public. The subject matter of "Love Letter" and the main creative lineup are simply tailor-made for the Joseph-Henri Film Festival.
In addition, there is another very important reason.
"Love Letter" is Lu Yanhe's first directorial work.
In fact, the first work of an actor-turned-director, as long as it is not a commercial blockbuster, is generally very popular at top international film festivals.
Many people have not noticed this, but if you look through the first directorial works of those more famous actors and look at their resumes, you will find it.
Lu Yanhe knew that a film with a theme and core like "Love Letter" would have almost no hope of winning an award even if it was forced to go to a film festival like the Spanish Film Festival. It could only find the largest audience at the Josep Latvia Film Festival.
Lu Yanhe said: "Love Letter was originally intended for the Jose-La-Cebu International Film Festival."
Lu Yanhe is certainly happy that the Jose-La-Jacques Film Festival would be interested in this film.
Chen Ziyan said: "But it's strange to say that, with your resume at international film festivals, you should have entered their field of vision by now, so why hasn't any film festival invited you to be a judge?"
Lu Yanhe: "Me? Judge? I'm so young, who would invite me to be a judge?"
Chen Ziyan: "Then don't underestimate yourself. You are young, but you have a lot of works."
She took a deep breath, pondered for a moment with some doubt, and put forward her own guess: "Could it be that they don't have your contact information and can't contact you?"
Lu Yanhe does not have an agency overseas, so it is really difficult for those people overseas to contact him.
Chen Ziyan's idea is not nonsense.
"Don't think about it. Even if they ask me to be a judge now, I may not have the time. Just look at my schedule for next year. It feels like this will be my busiest year yet." Lu Yanhe said.
"It's okay. You used to be able to film four movies a year while studying. Now you don't have to go to class, so you have more time." Chen Ziyan said, "I will coordinate the time for you."
Lu Yanhe: "Sister Zi Yan, you won't arrange other work for me based on the current one, right?"
"I don't have this plan for now, but I don't rule it out." Chen Ziyan said, "I have my eyes on a project and want to get it for you, but I don't know if I can get it successfully."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
He is not exaggerating, is there any project in China that he needs to snatch? Almost all the movie scripts on the market now, as long as the protagonist is suitable for him, will be reviewed by him. Every film company lists him as a first-tier member of the cooperation list.
"Overseas projects?" Lu Yanhe asked.
That was all he could think of.
"No, it's a domestic project." Chen Ziyan said, "But they have a big background, so even if you are one of them, you may not be their first choice."
Lu Yanhe asked: "What project is it?"
"This is a new film directed by Gong Jiang, who won the Best Director Award at the Sithole International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival." said Chen Ziyan.
As soon as Chen Ziyan said this name, Lu Yanhe immediately understood why Chen Ziyan attached so much importance to this film project and why even he needed to compete for it.
Let’s put it this way, perhaps every country has one or two great directors who are world-renowned and are recognized as being written into the history of world cinema before they even die.
Gong Jiang is such a director.
He has made a total of seven films, among which he has won the highest award at the four major international film festivals once, the Best Director Award twice, and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film once.
There is only one such legendary director in China.
His new movie is indeed just as Chen Ziyan said, no matter how top movie stars are, no one can guarantee that they can act.
Not to mention Lu Yanhe, a young actor who has only been in the industry for a few years and whose achievements are nothing compared to Gong Jiang.
There are actually few classic movies in the world that are grand narratives. Gong Jiang is the kind of director who hates grand narratives and focuses on grand themes such as life and destiny.
"When a director like him chooses an actor, he doesn't care about your box office appeal or popularity at all," Chen Ziyan said. "Almost no one can influence his ideas. Everything depends on his opinion."
Lu Yanhe asked: "What kind of movie is he going to make? Is there any news now?"
"Not at all." Chen Ziyan shook her head. "Shang Yongzhou told me this news. He received a call from the assistant director who has been working with Gong Jiang for many years. He said that Gong Jiang wanted to meet with him and mentioned the new project."
Hearing this, Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment and said, "In this case, should we take the initiative to fight for it? Since he didn't hold an open audition--"
"Of course we're not just coming to you and saying we want to get involved." Chen Ziyan waved her hand. "Don't worry about it for now. I'll follow up on this matter. I'll tell you when I have news."
Lu Yanhe: "You suddenly dropped a bomb on me. I will always think about this matter."
"Nonsense, if he's an actor, who wouldn't worry about this?" Chen Ziyan said, "That's Gong Jiang!"
Lu Yanhe: "I've been in this industry for so long, and I've never met him."
"He lives in seclusion, and ordinary people can't see him."
-
If he had the opportunity to act in a play directed by Gong Jiang, Lu Yanhe would really put down everything he was doing and act with all his strength.
Lu Yanhe discovered that he still had some filters for great directors.
"So vulgar." He complained about himself.
But that's what being an actor is like.
He thought that if he were an actor in the original time and space, he would also have a filter for directors like Wong Kar-wai and Park Chan-wook.
He admitted that he was a bit of a hipster.
When they are sick, 5 billion in box office revenue is not as good as the punctuation left by one of their movies in their acting career.
-
Squidward Games is streaming episode after episode.
The snow fell one after another.
Probably because director Gong Jiang was going to shoot a new film, Lu Yanhe was a little excited at night and couldn't sleep, so he didn't fall asleep until one o'clock in the morning. He simply got up from the bed, opened his notebook and started writing the script.
He ignored the previous unfinished scripts and wrote "Dragon Inn" instead.
The version of Dragon Inn starring Tony Leung, Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung is one of the best martial arts films in Lu Yanhe's mind. In his mind, it is better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is good, but it is not the pure Chinese martial arts film in his mind.
"Dragon Inn" is the Chinese martial arts in Lu Yanhe's mind, rooted in Chinese traditional culture.
In the middle of the night, Yan Liang suddenly knocked on the door.
Lu Yanhe woke up as if from a dream and looked back at him.
"You haven't slept yet?" Yan Liang got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Seeing light coming through the crack of Lu Yanhe's door, he knocked on the door with sleepy eyes.
"I'm excited." Lu Yanhe said, "Writing a script."
Yan Liang nodded, didn't ask any more questions, yawned, and said, "I'm going to sleep again."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Only after Yan Liang reminded him did he realize that it was already late at night and the world was so quiet that even the falling snowflakes could make a rustling sound.
Lu Yanhe shook his head, stretched, and continued to concentrate on looking at the screen and typing on the keyboard.
Fingers flying across the keyboard.
It was not until the sentence "They galloped forward, dust rose up with the sound of horse hooves, and in a blur, their figures disappeared into the depths of the vast desert" was written that Lu Yanhe slumped back in his chair with a sense of relief.
It's already 6:10 in the morning.
It's still dark.
Lu Yanhe rubbed his wrist, turned his neck, and heard a crisp "click" sound.
I had wanted to write the script for "Dragon Inn" for a long time, but I had never started. Unexpectedly, on this night, I suddenly felt like I had been given an injection of chicken blood and finished it in one breath.
Lu Yanhe felt his eyes were dry, but he wasn't sleepy at all.
Instead, he was excited.
He had an urge to share this story with others right away.
He got up and went out to wash his face.
Cold water for washing only.
The water was freezing cold.
But the water splashing on his face made him feel particularly comfortable.
Yan Liang also got up.
He has the habit of jogging in the morning, but it is snowing today and he can't run.
"You didn't stay awake all night, did you?" Yan Liang asked in surprise, looking at Lu Yanhe who was sitting in the living room eating an apple.
Lu Yanhe ate the apple with a crunching sound.
He nodded: "Not asleep, do you want to go eat noodles?"
Yan Liang nodded.
He looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief, "I am so impressed. You didn't sleep all night, but you look more energetic than me."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"Yan Liang, I wrote a really awesome script."
Yan Liang looked at him in surprise, "What script?"
Lu Yanhe said, "Wait for me to print it out. I should install a printer in my room."
Yan Liang nodded, "I also want to get a treadmill."
Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Then let's go buy it after breakfast."
Yan Liang said, "It's so cold, people may not open their doors so early."
Lu Yanhe pursed his lips, seeming a little disappointed.
"Did you brush your teeth?"
"I...didn't sleep again."
"Don't you need to brush your teeth if you haven't slept yet?" Yan Liang looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.
Lu Yanhe: "Oh, yes, we need to brush it."
Yan Liang: "...You just gave me the feeling that you are Li Zhibai."
"I must have been infected by him. My brain is not working properly anymore." Lu Yanhe shirked the responsibility without any hesitation.
Yan Liang: "Come back after you finish your breakfast and catch up on your sleep."
"I'm not sleepy at all."
"Do you believe that you will fall asleep within a minute if you lie down on it?"
"Impossible!" Lu Yanhe yelled.
Yan Liang: "Go in and lie down now. If you can't fall asleep in one minute, I'll take your surname."
"Okay, Lu Liang, you wait to change your surname." Lu Yanhe said and went.
A minute later, Yan Liang stood at the door of his room and looked at Lu Yanhe lying on the bed.
The latter closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this scene, Yan Liang was so angry that he laughed.
He took out his phone, took a photo of Lu Yanhe sleeping soundly on the bed, and posted it on Weibo, saying: This person didn't sleep all night and wrote a script. He was so excited that his eyes widened and he said he was very energetic and couldn't sleep. He also said he wanted to go downstairs with me to eat noodles. I bet him that he would fall asleep in less than a minute after his head hit the pillow. He stared with energetic eyes and said it was impossible. Now the one minute is up, what else can I say? Facts speak louder than words. (End of this chapter)
