Become famous another day. - Chapter 635: Indirect Blame, Acting Dumb and Dumb

The midnight snack lasted until half past eleven. Everyone had to film the next day, so after the last glass of wine, we dispersed.

Lu Yanhe asked Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian.

"Are you going to sleep here for one night before leaving?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuqian nodded, "My flight is at noon tomorrow."

Huang Kairen also said yes.

Lu Yanhe: "Where do you live then? I'll take you there."

"No need, the crew has arranged a car, you can go back and rest early." Jiang Yuqian said, "Although I think your alcohol tolerance seems to have increased a bit, you drank a lot today--"

Jiang Yuqian turned around and looked for Wang Biao: "Xiao Biao, when you send Yan He back later, pay attention and watch him go to bed. Don't just lie on the floor when you get back to the room."

Lu Yanhe: "...How could that be?"

"You men just care about your reputation. You will never admit it." Jiang Yuqian said firmly, "Don't talk nonsense to me, Xiao Biao, pay attention."

Wang Biao smiled and nodded, saying yes.

Huang Kairen: "Tsk tsk, you treat Xiao Lu as your own brother."

"Jealous?" Jiang Yuqian rolled her eyes. "How dare you say that? Why don't I see you care about Xiao Lu a little more?"

Huang Kairen: "You are here, so I don't need to do anything."

The two people exchanged a few words and then went their separate ways.

Lu Yanhe got in the car and sat down on the chair, then he felt sleepy.

Wang Biao originally wanted to say something to Lu Yanhe, but when he turned around, he saw that Lu Yanhe had closed his eyes, so he stopped talking.

What Lu Yanhe said tonight made Wang Biao feel inexplicably touched.

Today's entertainment industry has increasingly become a playground for children from wealthy families. Some time ago, a talent show was broadcast, and two-thirds of the dozens of contestants came from wealthy families, which caused an uproar on the Internet. Once upon a time, in the public's impression, most of those who struggled in the entertainment industry were children from ordinary families. In fact, according to some stereotypes, even slightly better families would not want to see their children in the entertainment industry.

Now it's completely different.

Wang Biao also learned from people familiar with Star Entertainment that the trainees Star Entertainment signs now are basically children whose families can provide some support. Trainees with backgrounds like Lu Yanhe are almost unheard of.

Just like what everyone said tonight.

In the past, actors who brought money into the production were always looked down upon. Now, having no money to bring seems to be useless and incompetent.

In just a few years, people are changing and the environment is changing.

He heard someone say tonight that Jiang Lingyi and other main supporting roles were fought over. Many families used all kinds of connections to make inquiries, and even paid money to get their children to play the role, and let the crew sign a check at will.

In the past, it was the agency that resorted to all means, but now the family is also involved.

As a child, if I want to do this, my family will support me.

Then the world changed.

Wang Biao and Zou Dong sent Lu Yanhe back to the room together, and only left after confirming that he was in good condition and had not lost consciousness.

When they went downstairs, Zou Dong asked, "What did you want to say to Yan He just now?"

Wang Biao smiled and said, "Did you figure it out?"

"Ah."

"I want to ask Huang Feng's agent if I can do it." Wang Biao said.

Zou Dong looked at him with some surprise.

"You basically spend all your time focusing on Yan He, so how can you find the time to be someone else's manager?"

"No, I'm not an assistant agent, but a film and television agent." Wang Biao said, "I heard that Shihuo has only arranged an assistant agent for Huang Feng. In name, he is in charge of everything, but in fact, he has no power. It is basically Sister Zi Yan and Sister Qing Zhen who are in charge of Huang Feng's work. The agent is just a puppet who follows orders."

"Does Huang Feng need a full-time agent now? He is basically studying at school. In the next few years, he will also be acting in the "Home Alone" series. He has no energy to act in other dramas. If you are responsible for his film and television agency, there is basically no room for you to play."

Wang Biao said: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't dare to have this idea."

"I know you like that kid Huang Feng, but you should stay out of it for now." Zou Dong said, "Why don't you take advantage of these few years to quickly train an assistant who can take over for you, so you can get rid of him and spend more time on your work as an agent."

Wang Biao: "It's not like you can find someone just by saying so. Without the right person, someone you don't trust, who would dare to put him next to Brother Lu?"

"You keep saying that, but how do you know if you don't try?" Zou Dong said, "Just like Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang before, you didn't like them at first, but they turned out fine in the end."

"Then why don't you let the other bodyguards take on some of your work?"

"I asked them to take on the responsibility," Zou Dong said. "They are responsible for daily travel and guarding the door of the room. If you were asked to hand over everything to others at once, you would definitely not be able to let go. But at least you can find someone to take charge of some logistical services. You don't have to take care of everything, even if you have to go to get lunch boxes for Yan He."

Wang Biao was speechless.

"If you really want to be Huang Feng's agent, or someone else's agent, you will never achieve it unless you break away from your current work status." Zou Dong said bluntly, and his words hit Wang Biao right in the throat.

It has been some time since Wang Biao was promoted to executive agent, but he has not found a new assistant. He gives a hundred reasons, but the real reason is that he is afraid that someone else will take his position away.

He always felt that his job did not require any technical skills and anyone could do it.

If a new assistant really comes, what if Yan He trusts him more over time?

Wang Biao has never let go of this feeling of insecurity in his heart.

Especially Lu Yanhe's career has been getting better and better in recent years and has reached such a peak.

Wang Biao did not have the calmness to feel that he had been with Lu Yanhe for a long time and felt that he was an old man and could relax and do whatever he wanted. On the contrary, he always had a sense of crisis and urgency, worried that his ability could not keep up with Lu Yanhe's career. In this case, how could he dare to easily recruit an assistant who posed a threat to himself.

Even though he is working so hard, he is still taking online language courses, learning English and some knowledge related to copyright law, which fully illustrates his inner anxiety.

However, this is not the first time Zou Dong has said such words.

Wang Biao himself knew that he couldn't keep going on alone.

Even if he could hold on, Chen Ziyan would not want to see this.

For positions like executive agent and assistant around Lu Yanhe that require 24-hour on-call, it was incredible that no one had played the role of B post for such a long time - instead, Zou Dong was playing the role of B post.

Wang Biao thought for a long time, and then suffered from insomnia.

It was two o'clock in the morning, he was still awake and hungry, so he took his phone and decided to go downstairs to the 24-hour convenience store next to the hotel to buy something to eat.

As a result, not long after he walked out of the hotel gate, he saw Li Zhibai getting out of a car, wearing a baseball cap and a mask.

Despite these obstructions, it did not prevent him from recognizing him at a glance.

Li Zhibai...why did you come back so late?

Wang Biao was confused.

He thought everyone would disperse and go back to their hotels after the dinner.

Li Zhibai didn't notice Wang Biao at all.

He hurriedly lowered his head - also for fear of being recognized by others, and hurried into the hotel.

Wang Biao looked at Li Zhibai's back in confusion.

The next day, Wang Biao told Lu Yanhe about this matter.

Lu Yanhe was also surprised when he heard this.

"Maybe he has something to do." Lu Yanhe waited for Li Zhibai to come and asked him directly: "What did you do last night?"

"What did you do?" Li Zhibai asked back.

something wrong.

Lu Yanhe noticed that Li Zhibai sounded a little unnatural when he said this.

Li Zhibai deliberately avoided his gaze.

Lu Yanhe looked at Li Zhibai suspiciously.

"Wang Biao saw you getting out of a car and returning to the hotel at 2 . last night." Lu Yanhe said, "We dispersed at 11:30. What did you do for those two hours?"

Li Zhibai: "Oh, I went for a massage. I was so tired that I fell asleep during the massage. They didn't wake me up."

Excuse.

Lu Yanhe judged without any hesitation that this was an excuse.

It's certainly not true.

Lu Yanhe glanced at Li Zhibai suspiciously.

But because of his denial, Lu Yanhe did not ask any further questions.

Li Zhibai actually knew that Lu Yanhe did not continue to ask questions not because he had dispelled his suspicion of him.

But at least he avoided Lu Yanhe's questioning at this time.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

How come I was caught by Wang Biao when I came back last night?

It's already two o'clock in the morning...

Li Zhibai was helpless.

But what he didn't expect was that Luo Yuzhong walked up to him and asked seriously, "Why are your dark circles so heavy?"

"..." Li Zhibai said silently, "I didn't sleep well last night."

Luo Yuzhong: "Okay, let the makeup artist cover it for you, otherwise the dark circles are too heavy."

As soon as Luo Yuzhong left, Lu Yanhe looked over.

The words "Are you still not going to tell the truth?" were clearly written in his eyes.

Li Zhibai coughed twice and said, "I'm thirsty, drink some water."

His assistant immediately brought the kettle over.

Li Zhibai avoided Lu Yanhe's gaze by drinking water out of guilt.

However, the leakage of the house happened to rain overnight.

Li Zhibai has a rivalry with Deng Xiaoyuan who plays the spider spirit.

Deng Xiaoyuan's makeup was all done, and she arrived at the scene to act with Li Zhibai.

Just because Li Zhibai couldn't help but yawn twice, Deng Xiaoyuan immediately smiled in an ambiguous way as an experienced sister and joked: "What did you do after the dinner last night?"

It was actually just a normal joke.

Deng Xiaoyuan is usually like this on the set. Relying on her age, she likes to tease young boys like Lu Yanhe with words.

But it happened to be at this moment that Li Zhibai's head buzzed and he suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Even a fool can see that something is going on.

Deng Xiaoyuan was panicked for a moment.

Lu Yanhe stepped forward to help out and said, "He drank too much and vomited for half the night after returning to the hotel."

The others looked surprised.

But whether or not they really believe it, there is no way to know.

Jiang Yuqian came out of the hotel and just got in the car to go to the airport when her cell phone started to "explode" with new messages as if it had fallen into a frying pan.

——Oh no, they found out.

——Old Lu is so perceptive, he must have noticed something.

——The people in the crew wouldn’t think that I just found a random lady, right?

——Everyone in the crew looked at me strangely.

— Shit, Chen Yin privately asked me if I was safe last night. He was worried that I would cause public outcry…

——I can’t hide it any longer.

……

Jiang Yuqian was just comfortably preparing to leave for the airport, but she was so shocked by the sudden news she received that she straightened her back and sat up straight.

She: You didn’t really tell them?

After a while, Li Zhibai said: No, but I really can't hide it anymore.

Jiang Yuqian sighed.

She held her forehead with one hand, thought for a long time, and replied: I can't make it public now. You know how critical the moment is for me. There can't be any variables.

Li Zhibai: I don't mean to tell everyone, but why don't I at least tell Lao Lu and Lao Yan first? It's too difficult to hide it from them.

Jiang Yuqian: You only find it difficult because you are filming with them now and are spending every day with them. After the filming of this drama is finished, you will hardly see each other a few times in a month.

Jiang Yuqian: This is so embarrassing. I am not mentally prepared to let Xiao Lu know that I am with his best friend.

Li Zhibai: Do you think I am so embarrassing?

His tone became aggrieved.

Jiang Yuqian: This is my own problem.

Li Zhibai: This feeling of having to hide something all the time is so uncomfortable.

Jiang Yuqian: We don’t have to go on like this forever. Once I can get through one or two years and my work becomes more stable, we will go public.

Li Zhibai: Okay.

Li Zhibai added: “But if Lao Lu guessed something himself, you can’t blame me. This guy is too sharp!

Jiang Yuqian: ...

Jiang Yuqian put down her phone.

She covered her face with both hands, rubbed it, and sighed softly.

The assistant heard it and asked, "Sister Yuqian, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Jiang Yuqian said, "By the way, when did we go to England?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"How long are you going?"

"Two weeks." The assistant said, "You have four scenes in this movie. After that, you have to shoot a magazine."

Jiang Yuqian nodded.

"'The Call' is going to be released at the end of the year, so I have to reserve time to promote this movie," she said. "This is my first movie with a leading role, and Yan He wrote the script, so I have to do a good job of promoting it."

"Well, Sister Heng has taken care of everything, and the publicity will follow when the time comes." Jiang Yuqian nodded.

The sunlight poured in from the window, and after being filtered by the window film, only a thin layer of light with a slightly changed color remained, falling on her face.

She couldn't help but think back to that night.

It was a private party organized by senior executives of a brand.

At home.

No media, no cameras, a private party.

The two of them were invited and met.

At that party, they didn't know the other people very well, so they talked a little more.

I don’t know why, but the more we talked, the more excited we became.

Later, after they came out of the party, they went to a private club together.

At that time, Jiang Yuqian hadn't thought about it yet.

She really treats Lu Yanhe as her younger brother, so she has a similar feeling towards Li Zhibai, a boy who has a close relationship with Lu Yanhe like a real brother.

She was just very surprised that she could get along well with Li Zhibai, and it just so happened that a script about an sister-brother love story came to her, and she inexplicably felt that Li Zhibai was suitable, so she asked him to come together to talk about the script.

The privacy and security of a private club are needless to say.

So, they can also let down their guard a little.

Jiang Yuqian still remembers asking Li Zhibai at the time: "Have you ever liked older sister-type girls? Do you think you can act in this script?"

Li Zhibai smiled, with an expression that said, "Who are you looking down on?" and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"

It was these words that opened a door.

Both of them felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Jiang Yuqian reacted instantly and realized that Li Zhibai was not Lu Yanhe.

Jiang Yuqian often doesn't say whether a person has that kind of intention towards her, but she knows it in her heart.

Just like in order to act well in "The Golden Age" with Lu Yanhe, she would deliberately ask Lu Yanhe out before acting to create some atmosphere, but she also had contact with him, so she knew very well that Lu Yanhe did not have that kind of feelings for her.

Now, no matter whether Li Zhibai said this impulsively or without thinking, Jiang Yuqian knew very well that this boy's attitude towards her was definitely not so simple.

As a result, Li Zhibai didn't know whether he realized that his words had ruined the atmosphere.

In order to save the situation, he had to tell the story of how he used to like an older sister.

It was just a secret love at first sight, there was no passionate emotion. My heart was pounding for a while, and I tried to test her a few times as a joke, but got no response, so I silently swallowed all my thoughts back into my stomach.

After hearing the latter part, Jiang Yuqian felt inexplicably... touched.

"I thought a guy with your personality would try his best no matter what, and then find out if he fails."

"I do want to." She remembered Li Zhibai's smile clearly. He was smiling with a languid look, and suddenly she felt a little broken.

Then, Jiang Yuqian found that somewhere in her heart also skipped a beat.

Later, the two met twice tacitly under the pretext of discussing the script.

And then, that’s what happened.

With such a busy work schedule and traveling around the world, dating was not in Jiang Yuqian's plan for this year.

But it just appeared so suddenly, in a way she had never expected, airborne, irresistible, and unable to resist.

A few days had passed when Yan Liang noticed that the atmosphere between Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai was a little strange.

In this regard, his ability has not been very outstanding.

The situation at that time was that Jiang Lingyi came to Li Zhibai and asked him when they could review the script together.

Li Zhibai said that after lunch, he had a two-hour break in the afternoon.

At that time, we were filming Lu Yanhe's scene.

Jiang Lingyi agreed.

After she left, Yan Liang teased Li Zhibai, asking him why he didn't take the initiative to ask others to review the script?

Before Li Zhibai could say anything, Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Avoid suspicion."

"Avoid suspicion?" Yan Liang was puzzled. "Avoid what suspicion?"

"To avoid being misunderstood, he really has feelings for Jiang Lingyi." Lu Yanhe raised his eyebrows at Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai: "..."

Yan Liang looked at Li Zhibai, and then at Lu Yanhe.

"I feel like you are saying something that I don't understand, but Li Zhibai can understand." Yan Liang said.

Lu Yanhe: "No, no, no, actually I don't quite understand it either. The only one who truly understands it is Li Zhibai."

Yan Liang: "I don't understand even more."

"Because someone is hiding it from us and doesn't let us understand." Lu Yanhe said.

Yan Liang turned to look at Li Zhibai in confusion.

"What are you hiding from us?"

Li Zhibai slapped himself in the face.

"I want to die."

Lu Yanhe chuckled twice.

"When you interrogated Siqi and me, did you think about today?"

Li Zhibai: "..."

Yan Liang was horrified, "Li Zhibai, you——"

Li Zhibai took a step forward and covered Yan Liang's mouth with his hand.

Lu Yanhe: "Alas, the old man is really honest with me, things will change over time."

Li Zhibai turned his head and said angrily, "Go to hell."

Lu Yanhe's face showed the arrogance of a "villain who has succeeded" and the joy of "getting revenge".

However, even though Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang joined forces to interrogate him, Li Zhibai still said nothing in the end.

Yan Liang was shocked.

"Who on earth is this person that you have kept secret from me like this?"

Lu Yanhe, on the contrary, showed a thoughtful expression.

The person who could make Li Zhibai defend himself so strictly...

In addition, Li Zhibai came back so late that night. What was special about that night?

Think about it again, Li Zhibai has a special liking for older sister type girls...

Lu Yanhe's expression suddenly became interesting.

To be precise, it is twisted.

He didn't want to think about it anymore.

No way?

He looked at Li Zhibai in disbelief. At this moment, he didn't even want to ask Li Zhibai for the answer.

He was afraid that the answer would hurt his ears.

The crew members gradually discovered that the atmosphere between the trio of Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang seemed to have changed.

They had basically never stopped talking and laughing on the set before. But these past two days, they were a little silent, as if no one was talking to each other.

Is this a quarrel?

Breaking up?

Although there were many doubts and discussions, no one dared to ask them what was going on.

Anyway, it didn't affect their acting.

When acting, do what you should do.

However, it didn’t take long before marketing accounts started posting messages suggesting that the three of them were not getting along.

There is definitely no impenetrable wall in the crew.

All of these are laid out in the open for everyone to see, and there is no hiding or concealing anything.

Even if the news was spread by someone, it would be impossible to find out who spread it.

Such rumors were widely spread, and Lu Yanhe and others saw them, but no one went out of their way to clarify or refute them.

This is of course a misunderstanding.

There was no such thing between the three of them.

He just guessed it a little bit, and it was a little hard to accept, so he was still adjusting himself.

Li Zhibai had to keep it a secret from them, so he refused to be honest and simply ignored them.

As for Yan Liang, he was a little mad at Li Zhi because Li Zhi refused to say anything.

Given the current state of the three men, if there is any discord, it is at most that Yan Liang dislikes Li Zhibai.

But the fact that the three of them didn't explain this made some rumor makers and rumor spreaders even more certain that the discord between the three might be true.

As a result, various exaggerated versions came out.

What's more, Lu Yanhe deliberately suppressed the pay of his two good friends in order to make money for himself, which made Li Zhibai and Yan Liang very unhappy.

Yan Liang was dissatisfied with Lu Yanhe for giving the No. 1 male role to Li Zhibai and only giving himself the No. 2 male role, and he had a big conflict with Lu Yanhe.

After all kinds of messy rumors were released, they caused quite a stir among their fan groups.

At first, fans of these three groups didn’t quite believe it.

The relationship and affection between the three of them is so good, and that has been going on for almost ten years.

How can they just stop getting along? Even if they don't get along, it's probably just a slight disagreement.

All three companies tacitly posted “Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors” in the comment sections of these marketing accounts.

It’s so friendly that it makes the marketing accounts want to get angry.

If the fans can't quarrel, how can this news get any traffic?

Marketing accounts are increasingly exaggerating and making up all kinds of fake news to gain attention.

Then, the three teams commissioned a lawyer to send the lawyer's letter publicly.

There was no mention of any discord, only that the marketing account deliberately fabricated false news to affect the reputation of the three people.

Luo Yuzhong couldn't sit still anymore and asked Lu Yanhe what was going on with them.

Lu Yanhe smiled and explained, it was a small matter, there was no discord, it was just that something happened that made them less willing to communicate with each other these days.

Luo Yuzhong: "You guys have known each other since childhood, it's not easy to have the friendship you have now, don't let your relationship break up because of a little impulse at such a young age."

Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.

"Teacher, don't worry, it's not what you think."

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and thought, we can't go on like this. If we continue like this, everyone in the crew will be in a panic, and most of their minds will probably be focused on what happened to them.

He invited both of them to have a midnight snack together in the evening.

Then, the three young and strong men, in order to maintain their figure, couldn't eat anything, so they ordered a lot, and the total amount was less than a hundred yuan.

The boss recognized them and looked at them as if to say, “You big stars are eating so shabbily.”

Lu Yanhe said to Li Zhibai: "If you don't want to tell us, you must have a reason. I won't ask, but you have kept it a secret from us, so you must drink three cups as punishment. No matter what your reason is, you are wrong to keep it secret from me and Yan Liang."

Yan Liang picked up the cup and drank the whole glass of beer.

He nodded vigorously and said firmly: "That's right!"

Li Zhibai knew that Lu Yanhe was here to "give way out" and they couldn't just keep staying like this.

He didn't say anything more and just drank three cups of wine as punishment.

Yan Liang: "You won't keep it a secret from us forever, right?"

"will not."

"Okay, I'll wait and see which fairy you are with that you are hiding it so much." Yan Liang said.

Li Zhibai: "Thank you for your understanding."

Lu Yanhe stared at Li Zhibai with a clear-sighted look and an ambiguous smile.

Li Zhi scratched his head.

Lu Yanhe suddenly raised one hand and clapped his arms.

"This mosquito! It's biting my blood openly, as if I can't see it!"
