Chapter 136 The Speed of Progress
"You authorized Song Linxin, why didn't you tell me?!" Zhou Ping'an questioned Lu Yanhe angrily, his voice almost shattered the phone.
Lu Yanhe said calmly: "This is a song I wrote and composed myself. The copyright is in my own hands. I authorized others to sing it without the company's consent."
Zhou Ping'an: "I am your agent now!"
"Then why didn't you tell me that Director Luo Yuzhong had chosen me to star in "The Golden Age"?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Zhou Ping'an seemed to have something stuffed in his mouth, and he couldn't make a sound.
"Brother Ping'an, I still call you brother now because I hope you can stop when you see the good. Since we have already signed the termination agreement, you are still deliberately obstructing my acting behind my back and ruining the opportunity I fought for myself. Why do you think I will still listen to you obediently?"
Lu Yanhe sneered.
"There are less than nine months left before I terminate my contract with the company. I hope that in the future, if there is another job for me, you can handle it normally. Otherwise, I will have nothing. I have always been barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes."
For the first time, Zhou Pingan found that he could not win the argument with Lu Yanhe.
The more angry he was, the more he could not cope with it.
"Lu Yanhe, who do you think you are? I--"
"Brother Ping'an, I emphasize again, I know that we have completely broken up, and after the contract is terminated, we should not have any contact with each other, but now, I have not terminated the contract, and you are still my nominal agent." Lu Yanhe said, "If you don't want me to talk to various media about how you treated me in the past few years and how you forced me to terminate the contract, just do your job normally."
"You dare!"
"Why don't I dare?" Lu Yanhe asked back seriously and innocently, "Brother Ping'an, can you tell me why I don't dare?"
-
At this moment, after Lu Yanhe had been patient for almost two months, he really fought back for the first time. Without any careful words, he threatened Zhou Ping'an with the coldest tone based on his temper.
After these words really came out of his mouth, Lu Yanhe realized that some words were much more pleasant to say than to keep in his heart.
But only now that he said it, Zhou Ping'an would be truly threatened.
I don't know how angry Zhou Ping'an will be after he hangs up the phone, but who made him sign the termination agreement first?
In Zhou Ping'an's hands, it is a guarantee to ensure Lu Yanhe's termination, but in Lu Yanhe's hands, isn't it evidence that Zhou Ping'an forced Lu Yanhe to terminate the contract?
If Lu Yanhe was just a small artist who no one cared about, this matter would not make any waves.
But now Lu Yanhe has a little fame and popularity, and has a live broadcast room with an average daily number of viewers of about 2,000.
Well, a month later, the average daily number of viewers of Lu Yanhe's live broadcast room has reached 2,000.
It has doubled.
Almost all of them came here because of his reputation - to learn from Lu Yanhe's learning live broadcast room.
Lu Yanhe himself was shocked. He didn't expect that this learning live broadcast room would become "famous" as it was broadcasting.
Even Li Pengfei said: "Old Lu, you look completely different recently. Your little eyes are so heroic and proud."
Lu Yanhe was made to laugh and cry by what he said.
Lu Yanhe was in a really good mood.
Then, in early November, the third monthly exam came.
Lu Yanhe performed steadily and improved to 194th place in the grade. The improvement was smaller. This was the result of his deliberate control. In the first half, the improvement was still so large, which was not in line with common sense. It was more acceptable to emphasize the effect of accumulation and development.
Li Pengfei also made a small progress and came to 329th place in the grade.
Linyu, who ranked first in the grade last time, fell to third in the grade this time. The fluctuation of grades was within the normal range. Liu Qin only told her that this fluctuation was normal. At this stage, the key was to stabilize the performance and the mentality.
The one who did not stabilize his mentality was Xu Zijun.
This academic master who had always been in the top 20 in the grade suffered a Waterloo this time and fell to 62nd in the grade.
The whole class was shocked.
Liu Qin felt strange. I thought Xu Zijun's last monthly exam results would be affected, after all, so many things happened. As a result, Xu Zijun performed very steadily last time and ranked 19th in the grade. He was not affected at all. If it weren't for Liu Qin, I would have thought that Xu Zijun had stabilized, but I didn't expect that he would regress this time.
No one dared to talk to Xu Zijun.
After seeing his results, Xu Zijun's face turned pale in an instant, and he returned to his seat in silence, never raising his head again.
Exams are always like this, some people make progress, and some people regress. While Xu Zijun suffered a Waterloo, Chu Saiying, contrary to his usual practice, entered the top 30 in the grade and got 29th place, the first time he got this ranking.
But his progress was not very popular.
Xu Zijun regressed greatly, but he made great progress. Even if this is a problem of people's mentality, people's sensibility is always biased.
Liu Qin said to Lu Yanhe privately: "Keep it up, if you keep it up like this, you have a great chance of getting into a key university."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
In fact, according to his estimation of his true level, he has already reached the tenth place in the grade.
His three subjects, Chinese, math and English, were all at the top level in the whole grade, especially math. As long as the last question of the last big question was not so abnormal, he could get full marks.
His shortcomings were still the three subjects of liberal arts.
This made him regret that he did not switch from liberal arts to science in order to avoid suspicion.
When he first crossed over, he was unfamiliar with everything and was as cautious as a dog.
After all, the liberal arts and science were divided in the second year of high school. It was too strange to switch to science in the third year of high school.
Lu Yanhe carefully analyzed his three subjects. In fact, the reason for losing points was that his foundation was not solid.
There was no way. It was only two months at most. He could get this level, which was the result of his best efforts.
There were still eight months left, and he believed that he could catch up.
There were tricks to learning. If you didn't find the trick, you could only work hard.
Lu Yanhe basically spent his evening self-study time on the three subjects of liberal arts, and spent a lot of time to make up for his foundation.
Then, he also started to search for online courses. Many masters on the Internet would record videos and explain some key knowledge points. Thanks to this era, as long as you want to learn, there are many convenient conditions.
After the audience in the live broadcast room learned from the students of the No. 13 Middle School that Lu Yanhe had entered the top 200 in the grade, they were all shocked by Lu Yanhe's speed of improvement.
Three exams, from more than 500 in the grade to the top 200, this is really a bit exaggerated.
-
This made Lu Yanhe suddenly think of a movie. When he was in the second year of high school, the head teacher played a Japanese movie called "Bottom Hot Girl" in their class during two evening self-study sessions.
This movie tells the story of a Japanese female high school student who took a year to get into Keio University. Lu Yanhe was a student who believed that learning depends on accumulation. He was not interested in this kind of inspirational story and felt that it was completely a movie-style fictional youth inspiration.
Until the movie was over, their head teacher told them that it was adapted from a real person.
"Human potential is infinite. Never think it's too late, as long as you are willing to start."
This is what their class teacher said at the time, and Lu Yanhe still remembers it vividly.
It is not so much that the movie touched Lu Yanhe very much, but rather the words of the class teacher.
Lu Yanhe believes that he can do it. He can learn Chinese, mathematics and English well, so why can't he learn politics, history and geography well?
In November, the independent enrollment of major universities also started one after another.
Lu Yanhe did not have to participate in it, but the atmosphere in the class was affected by it.
Every week, some students asked for leave to take the preliminary exam for independent enrollment, and then there was a re-examination, and even a third exam.
Some people passed the preliminary exam, while others were eliminated. The different results brought a cruel atmosphere.
Everyone felt the atmosphere in advance after the college entrance examination results came out in June next year.
Zheng Meiqi had the recommendation qualifications for the self-enrollment of two universities, but in the end they were eliminated. When she came to school, her eyes were swollen. I guess she cried all night.
Linyu passed the preliminary exam of Qinghe University's independent enrollment, and the re-examination was at the end of December. Another university was also eliminated in the preliminary exam.
On the contrary, Chen Yi, who applied to Fujiao University and Renshi University, passed the preliminary exam.
The two universities that Chen Qin applied to were the last to hold the preliminary exam. When he came back from the preliminary exam, it was already the end of November, and he put on a thick down jacket.
"It's really too cold in the north, it's snowing." He said.
Chen Qin applied to Qinghe and Renshi, but Qinghe was eliminated and Renshi passed the preliminary exam.
Everyone's situation is different, and everyone's life destiny is quietly changing.
Lu Yanhe stayed out of it, but inexplicably felt a sense of time pushing back.
I don't know when it started, but time suddenly started to move very fast.
Too many things happened in September, which made October and November seem unremarkable.
However, being unremarkable is the normal life of high school seniors.
On the other hand, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang's work pace became busy.
Yan Liang was about to take the art exam, but Zhou Ping'an arranged two commercial performances a week.
In November, all kinds of year-end activities came, such as promotions, company commercial performances, celebrations, etc.
It was rare for Lu Yanhe to meet them.
Then, at this time, Qiu Ling came with another silk banner.
This time, Lu Yanhe did not receive the news in advance.
Qiu Ling said: "More than two months ago, a very vicious case occurred in our city. Due to confidentiality regulations, I can't tell you the specific situation, but because of the USB drive you sent, it helped us solve the case and catch the relevant suspects. Without the USB drive you sent, we didn't know that such a vicious incident happened in our city. So, this is the second banner for bravery issued to you on behalf of our Municipal Bureau."
Lu Yanhe once again accepted the second silk banner in his life with a confused face under the representatives of teachers and classmates.
Principal Song smiled.
Another banner for bravery! This is not only an honor for Lu Yanhe, but also an honor for No. 13 Middle School! The students of No. 13 Middle School are well trained!
Lu Yanhe's second banner for bravery was officially reported, and he was on the social news again.
Lu Yanhe was very surprised that no one notified his agency this time.
After the banner awarding ceremony was over, he asked Qiu Ling in a low voice, and Qiu Ling said: "What are you notifying? They are all companies that are about to terminate the contract anyway."
Lu Yanhe immediately realized that Qiu Ling had deliberately not notified him after hearing about the incident between him and Zhou Pingan last time.
"Thank you, Sister Qiuling." Lu Yanhe said.
Qiuling laughed.
"I just chatted with your class teacher. You have made great progress recently." Qiuling said.
"Well, it's not bad." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Anyway, I've spent a lot of effort studying."
Qiu Ling: "You should work so hard. If you do well in the exam, you will also benefit."
This time the director didn't come, it was Qiu Ling who was the police representative.
In the evening, Lu Yanhe finished his self-study and was about to return to his dormitory when he met Zhou Ping'an at the school gate.
He seemed to be waiting for him at the school gate.
It was a cold day and the wind was blowing fiercely.
I don't know how long he stood here alone.
Lu Yanhe looked at him in surprise.
"Let's talk," he said.
Lu Yanhe walked over.
"It's windy outside, get in my car and chat, I'll take you back by the way," he said.
Lu Yanhe nodded and followed Zhou Pingan into the car.
It was rare that Lu Yanhe got into Zhou Pingan's car again.
With the relationship between the two of them, he thought he would never be able to sit down again.
The heater is on in the car.
Zhou Pingan opened a window to avoid stuffiness in the car.
"We had some unpleasant troubles before, I know." Zhou Pingan said.
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, it was more than a little unpleasant.
He listened silently and didn't respond.
"I admit that I'm not a good agent for you, but I haven't done much harm to you either. You have to admit it, right?"
Lu Yanhe: "..."
If it means not drugging him and sending him to someone's bed, or setting a trap on him and tricking him into owing millions or tens of millions, then that's true.
But what's the point of saying this now?
Zhou Ping'an said: "I actually have no other ideas. You have guessed it yourself. Someone wants you to leave the entertainment industry, so they have reached out to our company. I don't know who it is. I also follow the orders from above, so , I blocked you a lot of opportunities, that’s a fact.”
"In the past two months, you have strived for your best, become famous again, and been praised by the officials. Today you got another banner, although I don't know why." Zhou Ping'an said with a self-deprecating smile, " To be honest, if it hadn't been so unpleasant in the past, with the ability and quality you have shown now, I would have managed you well and promoted you to the position of a first-line star. "
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, if you say this now, I won't believe it.
He roughly guessed that Zhou Ping'an came to him today. On the one hand, it was because of his harsh words and threats to him before. On the other hand, it was also related to the second banner today. He was once again officially commended and given He has gained another layer of gold. If he really jumps out to accuse Zhou Pingan at this time, Zhou Pingan will definitely become the target of public condemnation.
"Brother Ping'an, it's too late to say this now. Our contract termination agreement has been signed." Lu Yanhe said with a chuckle.
Zhou Pingan silently glanced at Lu Yanhe sitting in the passenger seat from the rearview mirror.
In just a few months, this young man had become somewhat unrecognizable to him.
The night was blurry, and the light and shadow of the street lights kept changing on them as the car drove, switching the boundary between light and darkness.
"In the period before you terminate the contract, I will help you take on a few jobs." Zhou Ping'an said, "This can be regarded as compensation for the mistreatment I gave you before."
Lu Yanhe cheered up a little after hearing these words.
The topic is finally here.
Zhou Ping'an said: "First, I contacted the crew of "Golden Age" today. As long as they are still willing to sign you, I will help you negotiate a starring contract and will no longer require additional conditions."
He didn't know that Lu Yanhe had already settled the matter privately.
But if he could sign the contract earlier, he would avoid long nights and nightmares. Of course, Lu Yanhe would not refuse.
"Second, before you terminate the contract with the company, I will help you take on two more dramas, within five times." Zhou Pingan said, "I know that you want to stay in the entertainment industry, but after you terminate the contract, with my Understand that someone will definitely stop you from returning to the entertainment industry. These two dramas can help you transition during this period."
This condition is somewhat good.
Lu Yanhe silently made a tick in his heart.
"Third, if you are willing, I can also help you get some business cooperation and let you make some money. This way, after you terminate the contract, you will have enough money to go to college without taking out a loan."
After all, Zhou Ping'an knew Lu Yanhe very well and knew what Lu Yanhe cared about.
These conditions he proposed happened to be what Lu Yanhe was most concerned about and concerned about now.
He seemed to have an insight into what Lu Yanhe was thinking.
Lu Yanhe said: "Brother Ping An has always known what I want."
Zhou Ping'an couldn't help but frown.
He has already taken a big step back, why is this kid still speaking so thorny?
However, he still had to hold his breath and coax him first.
Now Lu Yanhe's golden body is too majestic and upright. He is brave enough to fight for justice. He is an 18-year-old boy with strong roots and a young man. If you don't coax him or calm him down, if he really wants to explode, he will be the first one to take the blame. Zhou Ping'an.
Zhou Ping'an never gave up hope, so Vice President Ma helped him.
At that time, the person who is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes will become Zhou Ping'an.
Therefore, Zhou Ping'an hurried to the door of No. 13 Middle School today to wait for Lu Yanhe, just to say these words to him.
Lu Yanhe knew that he would agree to Zhou Pingan.
He said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. In fact, he would not do such a thing unless it was absolutely necessary to kill the enemy by one thousand and damage himself by eight hundred.
But agreeing so easily would be a waste of such an opportunity.
"During the period before the college entrance examination, any job opportunity I came across, as long as I wanted to take it, you had to help me take it," Lu Yanhe said.
Zhou Ping'an really didn't expect that Lu Yanhe would directly negotiate terms with him.
He was not satisfied with the conditions he proposed, and wanted to negotiate other conditions.
"You know, I can't go too far and let the person who wants you leave the entertainment industry notice that we haven't made any moves."
"I understand, you don't have to worry so much. My focus is still on the college entrance examination. I'm not that popular, so there won't be that many jobs coming to me."
Lu Yanhe spoke calmly and calmly every word, as if this conversation was all expected by him.
His attitude was one of "I know you're going to come to me and say these things."
His gesture really frightened Zhou Ping'an.
After getting off Zhou Ping'an's car, Lu Yanhe walked into the community with a calm face and turned between the buildings. He couldn't help but clenched his fist and waved it hard.
He sincerely felt that he did have some talent in acting.
-
Yan Liang and Li Zhibai are not here.
The room was dark.
Lu Yanhe went directly into his room and opened his laptop.
At about half past eleven, the two men came back together, again as tired as dead dogs.
Lu Yanhe was sorting out his geography notes when he heard the noise outside and knew that they were back, so he told the people in the live broadcast room that he was going to stop broadcasting, turned off the live broadcast software, and walked out of the room.
"Why do you look like you've been drained?" Lu Yanhe said with a smile when he saw the two of them occupying one end of the sofa as soon as they came back and slumped on it.
Li Zhibai: "Tired."
Yan Liang also said: "I'm really tired."
Lu Yanhe asked: "Is there any announcement tomorrow?"
"Yes." Li Zhibai said irritably, "Zhou Pingan is not a good person."
Yan Liang said: "I have to go to class too, alas."
Lu Yanhe poured a glass of water for each of them.
"Go to bed early if you're tired," he said.
"I can't sleep yet, damn, I have to have a video conference with someone in half an hour." Li Zhibai looked furious, "Damn Zhou Ping'an."
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but laugh.
"Then I'll go to sleep first." He yawned.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both raised their heads in surprise, looked at him, and asked in unison: "You go to bed so early?"
In fact, it was almost twelve o'clock now. It was impossible to say "go to bed so early", but Lu Yanhe usually didn't go to bed until around one o'clock in the morning, so it seemed to be extra early today.
Lu Yanhe said: "I have slept too little in the past two days and I need to make up for it."
Yan Liang nodded and said, "It's not that you've slept too little in the past two days, it's that you've slept too little in the past two months. I feel like you're about to become an immortal."
"It's not that exaggerated."
"Ask Li Zhibai."
But no one answered.
The two of them turned around and saw that Li Zhibai had fallen asleep on the sofa.
"Fuck, just sleep when you say sleep." Yan Liang said.
"It seems that he is really tired." Lu Yanhe asked, "What will he do when he has a meeting later?"
"It's okay. Let him sleep for twenty minutes first. I'll call him later." Yan Liang said.
Lu Yanhe nodded, "Then I'll go to bed first."
"Um."
Lu Yanhe went to wash his face and brush his teeth, then returned to his room and went to sleep.
He finally slept for six hours. When he washed his face, he forgot to turn on the hot water mode. The cold water jolted him awake.
After Lu Yanhe washed up, he was ready to go out.
Yan Liang yawned and came out of the room. When he saw Lu Yanhe was about to go out, he waved his hand.
"Bye-Bye."
"Bye-Bye."
Lu Yanhe faced the chill of early winter and walked into the icy air.
"Old Lu!" Yan Liang suddenly chased after him.
Lu Yanhe turned around in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Yan Liang ran up to him and said, "I forgot to tell you last night. The legendary agent, Chen Ziyan, will hold an open interview at the company at the end of this month, but interested parties must first submit a registration form. I guess Zhou Pingan didn’t tell you this news, don’t miss it, the deadline is this Saturday.”
