Chapter 305 Another Year (10,000 Words Updated!)

Perhaps because the itinerary was leaked, after returning to China, Lu Yanhe and his team were blocked by a group of reporters at the airport.

After Lu Yanhe finally got away, he got in the car and contacted Chen Siqi: I'm at the airport.

Chen Siqi said: We are all here, waiting for you to come.

Lu Yanhe: Yes, it will take about 40 minutes.

Chen Siqi said: Tell the driver to drive slowly, don't drive fast to save time.

Lu Yanhe: Don't worry, Brother Dong drives very steadily.

Chen Siqi: Zou Dong drives? Didn't he just come back with you?

Lu Yanhe: The company arranged someone to drive to pick us up, but Brother Dong was worried about riding in someone else's car, so he insisted on driving himself.

Chen Siqi: Is the person your company arranged to come over not skilled?

Lu Yanhe: Not really, Brother Dong said he would drive before we even got in the car.

Lu Yanhe felt that Zou Dong might simply not want to ride in someone else's car.

They first went back to Ziyuan Bridge to put their things, and then sent Lu Yanhe to the gathering place.

"Brother Dong, go back and have a rest. Li Pengfei and the others will take me back later." Lu Yanhe said.

If he didn't say that, with Zou Dong's personality, he would definitely wait outside for him to finish.

Being a full-time nanny is not an easy job. Even Lu Yanhe himself feels that Zou Dong has a lot of things to do, and he has to take care of everything.

Lu Yanhe has discussed with Chen Ziyan that Zou Dong will be given a larger year-end bonus this year, and his salary will also be raised after the new year.

Chen Ziyan will take time to talk to Zou Dong about this matter in the next few days. At the same time, she will find another full-time assistant for Lu Yanhe after the new year.

In this way, Zou Dong's work pressure will be much less.

Before, it was all handed over to Zou Dong because Lu Yanhe's income could not support this team.

Now there is no such concern.

The share of "Friends" that Lu Yanhe brought to him alone, the exclusive broadcast and advertising revenue of a single TV station, is tens of millions.

After it is launched on the video platform later, it will be even more.

-

It's their group gathering again.

Long time no see.

As soon as Li Pengfei saw him, he said, "You have failed Bai Yu's trust in you."

Lu Yanhe asked in confusion, "What trust? What have I failed?"

Li Pengfei said, "Bai Yu, with your hot search physique, you will become popular overnight in Korea because of some opportunity when you go to Korea. I didn't expect that your trip to Korea was so dull and there was no news."

Lu Yanhe looked at them in surprise, and said, "You have too high expectations of me. How can I have that ability?"

Bai Yu said, "This has nothing to do with ability, this is metaphysics."

Lu Yanhe: "...Okay, then I don't know what to say."

Chen Siqi said helplessly, "Your classmates are almost becoming your most loyal fans."

"I was originally a fan of Lu Yanhe." Bai Yu said immediately, "I liked him very much when I was in high school."

Lin Yu nodded, "Indeed, it seems that everyone in our class likes him when we were in the third year of high school."

"That's not the case, isn't there Chu Saiying?" Lu Yanhe said immediately.

"Haha, you still remember him."

"How could I not remember him?" Lu Yanhe said, "He is the only person I hate in my class."

"He is studying abroad now."

"What Ivy League school?"

"Yes." Lin Yu nodded, "I see his social media, he is sharing his current study life every now and then, he looks quite upper-class, banquets and parties and so on."

"They are all pseudo-upper-class." Li Pengfei said directly, "I know his family situation. If he was really upper-class, how could he study in our high school? He would have gone to a private school with a tuition fee of hundreds of thousands a year."

"Why didn't your family send you to that kind of school?" Lu Yanhe asked curiously.

Li Pengfei: "I'm too lazy to go. It's a waste of money. Anyway, I won't go, and my dad can't do anything to me."

Lu Yanhe: "How come you can always talk about your rogue behavior with a clear conscience as if you were showing off your achievements?"

Xu Zijun, who had been silent, seemed to feel the same way and suddenly nodded, "It turns out that I'm not the only one who feels this way."

Li Pengfei: "That's because I'm upright and I'm only a rogue to myself, not to others."

Time is flowing, and the world is changing all the time.

However, their small circle does not seem to keep up with the pace of change in the world, and still stays in the same feeling as before.

This kind of unchanging is rare.

Li Pengfei said to Lu Yanhe: "You still have to pay us copyright fees?"

"What?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"The story of competing for the admission quota you mentioned in "Friends of Six" and many small details are all based on what happened in our class, right?" Li Pengfei said.

Lu Yanhe laughed.

"Indeed."

Because sitcoms need to be particularly lifelike and dramatic.

When Lu Yanhe was writing the script, he wrote about their past and included many of their friends.

Especially some of the "shocking" words that Li Zhibai and Li Pengfei had said, all of which became lines in the play.

Lu Yanhe smiled and asked: "How much do you want for the copyright? I'll pay you."

Li Pengfei: "I'm very valuable, you may not be able to afford it."

Xu Zijun told Lu Yanhe: "My sister is also watching this show, and she asked me if the story Li Lili mentioned in it came from what I experienced."

Xu Zijun's sisters Xu Fanxing, Lu Yanhe and Li Pengfei have all met.

At that time, Xu Fanxing wanted to see Xu Zijun, but Xu Zijun refused to come out to see her, so she asked them to bring a letter to Xu Zijun.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Is your sister still working in Guangzhou?"

Xu Zijun said: "Yes, but she is ready to come back and get married."

"Marry?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, Xu Fanxing was only two or three years older than them. Did he get married at such a young age?

Xu Zijun said: "My parents found a partner for her. They met in Guangzhou. They were together for half a year and they thought it was a good fit, so they were ready to get married."

"That's a blessing." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

Xu Zijun didn't look happy at all.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yanhe asked, "You don't seem very happy?"

"Well, because that man's family... is also full of chaos."

"ah?"

"These are very trivial things. If I don't talk about them anymore, I can't finish them in a day or a night." Xu Zijun immediately shook his hand.

Li Pengfei took Xu Zijun's hand and asked, "When do they plan to get married? You have to inform me and I will attend with you."

Xu Zijun shook his head: "Don't participate."

"Why?" Li Pengfei suddenly felt puzzled and frowned, "I am your boyfriend. How can I not attend your sister's wedding?"

Xu Zijun was about to speak but stopped.

She hesitated and said, "No way."

Li Pengfei looked unhappy.

Xu Zijun immediately got up and went to the bathroom.

Linyu saw this and said, "I'll go too."

She followed.

The atmosphere became awkward inexplicably because of this incident.

Li Pengfei looked annoyed and said: "She is always like this. She refuses to take me to meet her family every time, as if I can't do anything. Although my grades are not good, it doesn't embarrass her that much, right? "

Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say for a moment.

He asked: "Maybe it's because of some special reasons that she doesn't want you to attend her sister's wedding. Didn't you just see it? She doesn't seem to be that yearning for her sister's wedding."

"That's because her future brother-in-law has a stepmother who is very difficult to get along with, and the marriage is almost impossible to get married." Li Pengfei said.

Lu Yanhe: "Huh?"

"It seems that the wedding gift and dowry have not been discussed. I don't remember exactly what they were." Li Pengfei said, "But no matter what, it was her sister's wedding. My biological sister, she refused to take me there. Attending the wedding is not because she is afraid that others will know that her boyfriend is me."

"Didn't you think that her family might not allow her to fall in love now?" Chen Siqi said suddenly.

Lu Yanhe and Li Pengfei were stunned at the same time.

Li Pengfei had a look of surprise and astonishment on his face, "She's not allowed to fall in love now? She's already in college..."

"What happened to college?" Chen Siqi said, "Have you forgotten that her parents forced her to sell her recommended spot for 200,000 yuan? After something like this happened, do you think her parents are good people?"

Li Pengfei fell silent.

"Xu Zijun's situation is completely different from yours. There are many things she can't tell you because you can't understand." Chen Siqi said, "Do you know why Xu Zijun joined our "Jump Up" as an editor? In addition to giving yourself Earn some living expenses and pocket money. The most important thing is that she hopes that when she creates your future with you in the future, she can be less held hostage by her family, less embarrassed and embarrassed due to being stretched, and have more autonomy. , but here you are foolishly struggling with why she didn’t take you to her sister’s wedding. The fact that you can ask such a question only proves that you don’t understand her plight at all.”

Chen Siqi responded with a slap in the face. Li Pengfei was completely at a loss and looked at Chen Siqi blankly.

"If there is any dilemma, she has told me and I can solve it with her."

"Solve it? Her parents sold her recommendation spot for 200,000 yuan. Knowing that their daughter's boyfriend now has a family asset of over 100 million and is the son of a wealthy family, what do you think her parents will do?" Chen Siqi asked directly.

Her eyes stared at Li Pengfei like a knife.

"If her parents did something, with Xu Zijun's self-esteem, do you think she can still be with you?" Chen Siqi finally asked.

After asking, she stood up.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Bai Yu stood up awkwardly, "Then I'll go too."

So, all the girls left.

Lu Yanhe, Li Pengfei and Chen Qin were the only three people left in the room, looking at each other.

After a few seconds, Chen Qin broke the silence and said to Li Pengfei: "You are so naughty."

Li Pengfei looked embarrassed: "I, I didn't think that much."

"Brother Fei, Siqi... although she speaks a little irritably, she makes sense." Lu Yanhe said to Li Pengfei.

Li Pengfei scratched his head.

"Maybe I'm too stupid and have never thought of this."

In Li Pengfei's eyes, he was a little inferior next to Xu Zijun.

Xu Zijun is a student who got into a prestigious university through his own efforts, but he is just a college scumbag who cannot afford to be supported.

Li Pengfei has always felt that Xu Zijun's family may not think highly of him.

For this reason, he has been worrying about Xu Zijun's attitude of not letting him get to know her family.

Chen Siqi woke him up with a stick.

Li Pengfei is not a fool who is really full of idiots. Of course he understood what Chen Siqi meant. But after understanding it, Li Pengfei had an even bigger headache.

It seems that he and Xu Zijun still have a lot of troubles to solve in the future.

After Xu Zijun and the others came back, everyone tacitly did not mention this matter again.

The topic returned to Lu Yanhe's experience in Korea this time.

"Actually, there isn't much to visit. It's a very cookie-cutter city and I can't get used to it. The kimchi is indeed pretty good, but there are only so many choices. I've only been eating it for three days and I'm a little tired of it," Lu Yanhe said.

Bai Yu was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Ah? I actually wanted to go to South Korea. I like watching Korean dramas very much." Bai Yu said, "I have always been interested in South Korea."

Lu Yanhe said: "You can go and see it if you have the opportunity in the future, but there is really no need to go for too many days. There is really nothing good to see."

"How about we go on a trip together when we have the opportunity in the future." Li Pengfei suddenly said.

"I think you are thinking too beautifully, it's difficult." Lin Yu said immediately, "Just the four of us girls can't take a long vacation because of the publication of "Jump Up" every month."

"Yes." Bai Yu nodded, "Now the workload is getting heavier and heavier. It takes ten part-time editors to finish reading the manuscripts in the submission mailbox."

"Are there so many submissions?" Lu Yanhe was surprised.

"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "I was thinking about making "Jump Up" a bimonthly magazine, but after thinking about it I gave up. Several of us are still in school, and this magazine has just been established. Two years, haste makes waste, we still need to consolidate the foundation.”

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Indeed, changing to a bimonthly publication is a very prudent decision. It means that the demand for manuscripts in a year has doubled. The quality is likely to decline, which will affect the reputation of "Jump Up". Let's accumulate more first. The author will be better."

"I think so too." Chen Siqi said, "However, we are planning to create a few more self-media outlets, one for entertainment gossip and exclusive interviews with people, and one for work reviews. The former is more relaxed and joking, while the latter is more serious. We have the editor club account and have accumulated a lot of new media writers and business resources, but now we can’t post it with just this account.”

This self-media account of the Editor Club, because of "Jump Up" and Lu Yanhe's connections in the entertainment industry, its cumulative number of followers on various platforms has exceeded one million, nearly ten million, which is a very big account. , there are also many business investments.

But because it is the self-media account of "Jump Up", the content posted is relatively comprehensive and not so specialized in a certain direction.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Didn't you say before that it was difficult to maintain the current scale due to insufficient manpower?"

Chen Siqi said: "We need to recruit people to do it."

"Poaching people?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

Chen Siqi nodded, "There are many mature new media people now, but because the window period for new media to make money has passed, a group of people are on the verge of being eliminated. We rely on "Jump Up" and have a solid We have a lot of backs, so we do better and better, and your friends in the entertainment industry give us a lot of face and carry out various cooperation, which makes our development momentum very good, so we have opened a few new media accounts, By hiring a mature team to run the business, we only need to manage investment and positioning, and not interfere with much else. This can expand the media footprint of our "Jump Up" series and expand its influence without having to invest so much energy. "

Lu Yanhe understood what Chen Siqi meant.

She is preparing to "acquire" it.

Lu Yanhe did not expect that she would be involved in new media.

"Can our current self-media revenue support us in taking such a big step?"

"It's okay. The commercial income generated from our self-media traffic has entered a virtuous cycle." Chen Siqi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, "We never engage in loss-making business."

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded.

-

Ever since the "Six People" incident, Lu Yanhe has deeply realized that "Jump Up" has helped him far beyond his initial expectations for "Jump Up".

If "Jump Up" is about the basic market, then the media layout of the "Jump Up" series is an attempt to grasp a few flags that can influence the direction of the trend in this Internet era.

The day Chen Siqi used the power of the "Jump Up" series to promote "Six People", the entire Internet was attracted by the momentum.

After all, Lu Yanhe's power alone is limited.

But the power behind him is limitless.

-

Until the broadcast of "Six People" before the Spring Festival, the ratings were always stable above 2%, and the discussion level also remained at a peak of popularity.

After analysis, many people say that this is because "Six" chose a good schedule and attracted a large number of students on vacation to turn on the TV to watch the show.

On another analysis, why do so many students turn on the TV to watch this drama?

Because on the night of the premiere, the TV series was played in the cafeterias of hundreds of universities. Due to the momentum at the time, many students went to watch the premiere, and then started discussing it on social media.

On the night of its premiere, Friendship became a "social commodity". If you haven't watched it, you can't participate in everyone's discussion.

Therefore, more and more people are following this drama.

As the plot unfolds, everyone's feelings for this drama gradually deepen.

But to say how well this drama is made - not many people really say so.

Many people even say that this is a relatively qualified sitcom, and it is not necessarily true that the script is well written, because the story is too simple, not the kind of rigorous story with a perfect beginning, development, turning point and ending. It can be so popular, all thanks to the schedule selection and topic marketing.

Of course, no matter what they say, Lu Yanhe will not respond.

The same is true for Jingtai and other creators of Friendship.

Let Friendship be discussed by everyone, this is the hard truth to stabilize the ratings or even further increase the ratings.

Lu Yanhe originally thought that he would just have a meal with some people before the Chinese New Year, and watch the show carefully when "Friends" was broadcast, and his work would come to an end for the time being. Unexpectedly, Chen Ziyan suddenly brought a piece of news.

Previously, a streaming platform was interested in "The Seventeenth Floor" and wanted to buy the overseas broadcast rights. However, Beijing and Taiwan were unwilling to sell the show now, and they wanted to wait until it was broadcast domestically before considering selling it overseas. Lu Yanhe couldn't help but complain when he heard it. Why wait until it was broadcast domestically when it was broadcast overseas?

But after learning about Beijing and Taiwan's attitude, the streaming platform contacted director Lian Bei and asked him if he was interested in making another big escape drama for them.

Lian Bei had a lot of work on hand, so he recommended Lu Yanhe to them, saying that he had a good idea in his hand, and if they wanted to make a big escape drama, they could talk to Lu Yanhe.

So, the people from Maxine streaming media asked Lu Yanhe to meet.

Maxine is one of the largest streaming media providers in the world.

In recent years, more and more Chinese dramas have been purchased by overseas streaming media, especially in Asia, where the broadcast data is quite impressive. They have also paid more and more attention to Chinese dramas.

However, due to some related reasons, no international streaming media has entered China so far, and the domestic market is controlled by video platforms. They rarely adopt the practices of Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, starting from the production end, producing and selling by themselves. Their strategy for Chinese dramas is often to wait until a drama is online and then buy their overseas broadcast rights.

However, this does not mean that they do not want to enter the Chinese market.

-

Chen Ziyan said: "It is very risky to let them do "Squid Game". It's not that they can't do it well, but they are too unfamiliar with the domestic market. I have never been optimistic about overseas streaming media wanting to enter China, so I think you don't need to talk too deeply with them, just chat."

Lu Yanhe is also hard to say how deep the relationship between "Squid Game" and streaming media is.

In comparison, Lu Yanhe does not know to what extent this drama will be broadcast in China, and he is not sure.

It all depends on how "The Seventeenth Floor" is broadcast.

Different places and different periods actually have different preferences for different themes.

Lu Yanhe's impression of Chinese dramas seems to be that there is no particularly popular "escape" theme.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the broadcast is subject to great restrictions.

When Lu Yanhe learned that Maxine contacted him because of Lian Bei's recommendation and wanted to talk about "Squid Game", he inexplicably had a sense of "destiny" in his heart.

Maybe it would be better to put this drama on streaming media to replicate its previous successful route?

This kind of theme is indeed more likely to get better results if it is broadcast online.

In China, few people over 40 like to watch dramas of this theme, and the audience is almost all young people.

Lu Yanhe can't say these words to Chen Ziyan now.

-

Two people came to Maxine, one is American Jack Wilson, and the other is Chinese Wu Zuping.

They are both Maxine's people.

American Jack Wilson is actually the head of Maxine's drama procurement department, and Wu Zuping is a producer of Maxine.

Jack Wilson showed a little surprise when he saw Lu Yanhe standing up.

Before coming here, he had already looked up Lu Yanhe on the Internet and knew that Lu Yanhe is now one of the most popular male actors in China. The sitcom "Friends" starring him broke a domestic ratings record in recent years. Lu Yanhe is also the screenwriter of this show. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be interested in the script in Lu Yanhe's hand.

However, seeing him in person now, Jack Wilson couldn't help but sigh that he was too young.

Jack Wilson didn't mind that Lu Yanhe was too young. In the film and television industry, talent often has little to do with age. He has seen many talented and gifted young people.

However, it is still rare to be as young as Lu Yanhe.

The show he wrote can achieve such a high ratings - incredible.

Jack Wilson shook hands with Lu Yanhe, said his name in broken Chinese, and said a few words in English.

Wu Zuping helped him translate.

Lu Yanhe simply replied in English: "It doesn't matter. My English can be used for daily communication. If there is anything I don't understand, please help me translate."

Wu Zuping nodded.

Lu Yanhe briefly told them the plot outline of "Squid Game".

This lecture lasts half an hour.

The English of this introduction was prepared in advance by Lu Yanhe.

When Jack Wilson and Wu Zuping heard the story, their eyes brightened because they thought the story was very exciting.

As soon as Lu Yanhe finished speaking, Wu Zuping immediately asked: "Has the script for this drama been written?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Wu Zuping said: "If possible, I am very interested in this script and would like to buy it."

"Buy?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised. He wanted to buy it so soon?

"Yes." Wu Zuping nodded, "We have been looking for a good story about this theme. We have also communicated and chatted with creators from many countries. Everyone has some ideas for us, but you are the most mature. Yes, there is already a very complete and exciting story.”

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I do have a complete idea about this story."

Wu Zuping said: "We heard that you are a very famous actor in China, but the male protagonist of this story seems to be a middle-aged man?"

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"Aren't you going to star in the film yourself?" Wu Zuping asked with some confusion.

Lu Yanhe said: "I don't plan to create this drama as an actor. In fact, I already have ideas about the actors for several roles in this drama."

"Huh?" Wu Zuping was stunned.

Lu Yanhe said: "So, when you said you wanted to buy my script, I was a little surprised. Maybe Director Lian Bei's communication with you was a little vague. I didn't just want to find a buyer for my script. I wanted to Join the creation of this show.”

Jack Wilson glanced at Wu Zuping in surprise.

Wu Zuping didn't react for a long time and hesitated.

"Do you want to join this show as a producer?" Wu Zuping asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "No matter what your identity is, this will work. The key is that regarding the filming of this drama, I had some ideas when I was writing the script. I hope to turn these ideas into actual presentations."

"Do you want to be a director?" Wu Zuping asked in surprise.

He also knows that many actors have the idea of ​​​​directing themselves, especially those who have written their own scripts.

But this usually happens to actors who have achieved great success.

Like Lu Yanhe, he has not reached that level yet.

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. I don't want to control the whole show, and I don't have the time and energy to be a director. But what kind of style does this show have and how it will be shot? I hope Some of my opinions can be adopted, but once I hand in the script, the creation of this drama has nothing to do with me, including the male protagonist of this drama.”

"Protagonist?"

"Yes, I already have a target cast. There are three main roles, and I already have a target actor for each."

Wu Zuping's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Your appetite is too big. How could we allow this to happen? Are you treating us, Maxine, as your subordinates?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "That's not what I meant."

Wu Zuping said: "When we choose actors, we have to organize auditions. It's not just who you choose."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I understand."

Seeing Lu Yanhe nodding, Wu Zuping smiled.

"When we produce a drama, it is not something that one person has the final say on. This is different from the production environment in China." Wu Zuping said, "I know that in China, if your celebrities are very popular, you can completely intervene. The production of a drama allows you to make a drama according to your ideas, but it is different abroad. "

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "Is it different? Not really. I see that many big-name actors will control a drama and affect the production of the entire drama. Although I don't really appreciate this approach, why do you say it like this? Is this a phenomenon unique to China? Big names always have more say in the crew. This is normal everywhere."

Wu Zuping did not expect that Lu Yanhe would suddenly refute him.

Lu Yanhe added: "As for me, I am not interfering in the creation of this drama because I am a popular actor. First of all, I came up with this story. We have not yet reached a cooperation agreement. My ideas should be discussed No need to interfere, right? So far, this story belongs to me 100%. Secondly, I want to join the production of this drama because I understand the story. I am the author and I have my own understanding. I also wrote the role based on several target actors, so I hope they will play it. If you accept this condition, we can continue to talk. If you find it difficult to accept, then let's just chat and buy and sell today. There is no need for benevolence and righteousness. I wonder if you have heard this sentence, Mr. Wu.”

Wu Zuping narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lu Yanhe looked at them with a smile.

-

After hearing what Lu Yanhe said, Chen Ziyan sneered.

"Look, I told you a long time ago, right? Those big streaming media companies don't understand our domestic environment very well, and they are often a little arrogant and look down on our production."

Lu Yanhe said: "Alas, I can't stand him suddenly blaming me. I thought to myself, I am not your subordinate, why should I be blamed by you? Who are you?"

Chen Ziyan: "Maybe in their eyes, they like your story and want to buy your script, you will be ecstatic, flattered, and regard it as an honor."

"Honor? I am sick. I regard it as an honor."

"International style, many of them know that our Chinese creators have an obsession with international recognition, from top to bottom, so when they talk about cooperation with us, they often have a sense of superiority that cooperating with us is to give us face. "Of course, not everyone is like this, but most of the people I met are like this. For example, Shang Yongzhou is already a top actor in our country. The famous Korean director Kim Ji-yeon has a new movie and wants him to act. Because the film company is a large American company, they only paid Shang Yongzhou 800,000 US dollars. They are bullying you. They know that even if you are a Chinese actor, this opportunity is also something that many people want. Shang Yongzhou refused to take it. Later, the role was given to a Korean actor. "

Lu Yanhe frowned slightly when he heard Chen Ziyan talk about this.

"This is too bullying."

"Yes." Chen Ziyan nodded, "Forget it, there is nothing to say about these. In short, you haven't written the script for "Squid Game" yet, you can take a look first, don't worry, once the drama "Friends" is broadcast, your script can get the best conditions from anyone, and you can take it to their overseas streaming media, which is a big loss. "

Lu Yanhe thought, yes. He has the golden signboard of "Friends" in China, but not overseas.

"But, Sister Ziyan, the play that Director Chen Lingling told me about before was made for an overseas streaming media." Lu Yanhe said, "Will the salary be suppressed very low for me?"

"We haven't discussed it yet, but there is no rush for this matter. You don't have to worry too much. Huang Cheng told me that the budget they gave is very sufficient and they will not deliberately suppress your salary." Chen Ziyan said, "Now streaming media is still very generous in filming dramas, and those traditional film companies are really stingy in making movies."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"After the New Year, we have to have a meal with the boss of Northern Lights Video." Chen Ziyan said, "Their secretary came to invite us specifically."

"Mr. Lin?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

Chen Ziyan nodded. "You've met him before, right?"

"Yes, he came to our company and I met him. We sat together and chatted for a while."

Chen Ziyan said: "He should want to talk to you about cooperation."

"Cooperation?"

"Well, "Friends" is so popular that any platform that wants to make a drama can't ignore you. In fact, there are many people who want to invite you for dinner." Chen Ziyan said, "But I basically rejected them all. It's also strange. Obviously, you are also popular as an actor, but now everyone seems to value your identity as a screenwriter more."

"This is not normal."

"Of course it's not normal. Screenwriters have never been taken seriously."

"Maybe it's because "Friends" is a sitcom? Didn't you say that there are not many sitcoms in China now? They also want to replicate such low-cost, high-return success?"

"Maybe, anyway, no matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter." Chen Ziyan said, "I'll know when I talk to him face to face."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Ziyan asked: "Are you still alone during the Chinese New Year this year?"

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe said, "It's good, just in time for me to rest quietly for a few days."

-

Every time during the Chinese New Year, Lu Yanhe felt uncomfortable.

When he was busy at other times, he basically didn't have the time to think about so many things.

But when the Chinese New Year came, even if he didn't mention it, others would remind him again and again that he was a person without family.

But fortunately, Lu Yanhe actually had an ordinary but happy growth process.

The unfortunate Lu Yanhe had died in the river.

It was just at such a time that Lu Yanhe couldn't help but miss his parents.

It was a pity that he didn't let his parents see what he looked like now.

Lu Yanhe thought, if only they could see it.

Yan Liang left on the 29th day of the lunar year and went back to his hometown for the Chinese New Year.

He also asked Lu Yanhe if he wanted to go back with him. Lu Yanhe said that it was good for him to stay alone and rest for a few days and wait for him to come back.

Li Zhibai was there, he was going to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

However, after the recording of the Spring Festival Gala was finished, he went back directly.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Lu Yanhe turned on the TV and let the Spring Festival Gala play, but he could not concentrate on it until Li Zhibai's program came on.

He watched the program carefully from beginning to end.

On the TV, the audience laughed frequently.

However, Lu Yanhe felt that the program was quite embarrassing.

Li Zhibai's acting was okay, but the lines were too embarrassing. Lu Yanhe felt awkward when he heard them. It was not like what Li Zhibai could say.

Looking at the Internet again, as expected, there was a lot of ridicule.

The effect was not good. The power of fans was just a drop in the bucket in the huge audience of the Spring Festival Gala.

Fortunately, Li Zhibai was not the only actor in this skit. Several actors were ridiculed by many people because the skit was not funny.

Lu Yanhe only hopes that Li Zhibai will not be affected by these comments when he returns.

Being able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala is already a success.

As soon as Li Zhibai finished his performance, he sent a message to the group of three of them: The effect is not very good.

Yan Liang said: I think it is quite funny. Our family was amused. My mother also said that you are very handsome.

Li Zhibai: Hahaha, thank Auntie for me. It’s okay. Let everyone scold you. In fact, we expected this before we went on stage. I’m going back. Old Lu, are you asleep?

Lu Yanhe: I was thinking about how to comfort you.

Li Zhibai: Don’t be hypocritical. What is there to comfort? After this year, people will only remember that I was on the Spring Festival Gala. Not many people will remember that my show is not good. Anyway, there are not many performances that can be remembered now.

Lu Yanhe: Seeing that you have such an attitude, I feel relieved. I was thinking about writing a skit next year and we can perform it. It seems that it is not necessary.

Li Zhibai: ? ? ?

Yan Liang: ? ? ?

Lu Yanhe: I'm ready to go to bed. The shows are not very good. I just held on until I finished watching your show before turning off the TV.

Li Zhibai: I want to see the script tomorrow!

Li Zhibai: Lu Yanhe, my comeback depends on you!

Li Zhibai: I must let those who laugh at me see clearly that it's not my fault, but the story itself is not well written. Why blame me! I'm so angry! (End of this chapter)
