Chapter 324 Routine Operations

Lu Yanhe had never reviewed a script with a group of actors like this, put himself in the role's perspective, and rehearsed the lines, talking about what he saw and what happened.

He had participated in script readings before, but the atmosphere of that occasion was more like a meeting.

At night, Lu Yanhe lay in bed, and his mind was flashing back to the script.

At night, he dreamed that he was running in the city at night with Chen Siqi.

It was a deserted city, and there were ashes falling slowly at the end of the night.

Lu Yanhe woke up in the middle of the night and sat on the bed. His mind was blank and he felt exhausted.

-

Fortunately, there was no scene for him in the morning.

Otherwise, he thought he might have a headache today.

Why did he suddenly feel like he had a serious illness? Lu Yanhe really didn't know the reason.

But he knew that all this came from reviewing the script with everyone yesterday. He vaguely felt that he was closer to the world where Meng Bai was.

At eight o'clock, Chen Siqi suddenly sent him a message: Are you out?

Lu Yanhe heard the vibration of his phone, opened his eyes, took a look, was stunned, and then remembered that he and Chen Siqi had made an appointment to meet Xu Xiaoyin this morning.

He wanted to communicate something with Xu Xiaoyin.

He sat up, rubbed his head, and said: I forgot, I'm still in bed, I'll come right over.

Chen Siqi: You're still in bed at eight o'clock? Are you feeling uncomfortable?

Lu Yanhe said: No, it's just that I didn't sleep well yesterday, I woke up in the middle of the night, and I haven't fallen asleep for a long time, I'm very sleepy.

Chen Siqi: Then I'll talk to Sister Xiaoyin myself, you take a nap, and you can come to have lunch with us at noon. I don't care about other things. It's more appropriate for you to speak about Xu Mingyue's matter. She is your senior.

Lu Yanhe wanted to struggle to go over, but Chen Siqi sent another message: Don't force yourself to come over, it's not necessary for you to accompany me, have a good rest.

Lu Yanhe was really sleepy, so he gave up, lay down again, replied with a good word, put the phone aside, and fell asleep again.

-

"Why didn't Yan He come today?" Xu Xiaoyin asked.

Chen Siqi said, "He didn't sleep well last night and slept again in the morning. I told him not to come, to rest first, and then come to have lunch with us at noon."

Xu Xiaoyin nodded and asked, "Is he filming recently?"

"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "He said it was a situation he had never encountered before. I thought it was easier to act in this movie and not so tiring."

Xu Xiaoyin laughed, "I've watched Yan He act in movies, except for "Friends" which he wrote himself, all of them are roles with deep hatred and deep hatred. I guess no movie is really easy to film. You can tell from his acting that it's not easy for him to act."

Chen Siqi handed the plan in her hand to Xu Xiaoyin and said, "Sister Xiaoyin, this is a supplement we plan to make. Please report it to the publishing house."

Xu Xiaoyin took it and nodded, "Okay, it's not a big problem. The sales of "Jump Up" are very stable now. If you make a supplement, the publishing house will give the green light."

"We plan to publish this supplement first and then put it on the electronic shelves. We have also communicated with Yemai.com." Chen Siqi said.

Xu Xiaoyin was stunned, and then her eyes lit up.

Jiangyin Publishing House has always hoped that the sales of the magazine "Jump Up" could continue to increase. However, "Jump Up" seems to have reached a bottleneck period. The sales of the recent issues have not increased much, and the sales have been maintained at around 80,000 copies. In fact, it is not that the number of readers of "Jump Up" has not increased, but that most of the readers attracted by "Jump Up" through the popularity and dissemination of the Internet still choose to read this magazine on Yemai.com during the three-day free period, or buy the electronic version.

The audience of paper books seems to have reached its limit.

Jiangyin Publishing House has been trying to cancel the three-day free period of "Jump Up" on Yemai.com... Of course, this is basically impossible.

This is the cooperation framework that was agreed upon from the beginning.

Canceling the three-day free period of "Jump Up" on Yemai.com will cause Yemai.com to lose hundreds of thousands or even millions of user traffic every month.

"Jump Up" is now the most stable channel for Yemai.com to attract new users.

Even "City Travel Notes" participated by Lu Yanhe is not as effective as "Jump Up" in attracting traffic.

The reason is that the serialized novels of "Jump Up" have consolidated the fixed readers, and different stars and celebrities are invited to write columns or be interviewed in each issue, which will attract some new readers.

"City Travel Notes" follows the path of literary youth, and its popularity is not as good as "Jump Up".

Therefore, Chen Siqi had the idea of ​​doing a supplement.

This idea came from the success of the summer special issue and the winter special issue.

The summer special issue and the winter special issue are still published at the normal time, but that issue has become a special issue.

The supplement is a separate theme planning outside the regular publication, and it is a work outside the regular publication.

Chen Siqi wanted to do a supplement, firstly because there are a lot of manuscripts in "Jump Up" now, and the manuscript space of twelve issues a year cannot be effectively digested, and secondly because everyone wants to do something innovative, but "Jump Up" was founded not long ago, and they dare not take risks in the main issue, so they have the idea of ​​doing innovative columns in the supplement.

This idea was also supported by Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe has always felt that online novels are very developed in China, but there is no broad soil for short and medium-length novels, which is actually a pity.

Especially for movies, most of the time, novels are not suitable for adaptation into movies, but short and concise short stories are more suitable.

Some novels that do not quite fit the tone of "Jump Up" can be published through supplements.

The copyright agency that cooperates with "Jump Up" has been promoting the adaptation of some short stories.

Because of Lu Yanhe's relationship, "Jump Up" magazine is also very popular in the film and television industry, and has a unique advantage.

However, because Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi are unwilling to sell at a low price, so far, only the adaptation of Li Zhibai's short story has been negotiated.

Chen Siqi asked again: "How is the reprint of Miao Yue's "Late Spring" going?"

Xu Xiaoyin nodded and said: "It has passed the topic selection meeting successfully, and we are looking for a designer to design a new cover."

"That's good." Chen Siqi smiled, "We will plan more and more single volumes in the future."

Xu Xiaoyin said: "The book market is not good now, but if the books of the writers promoted by your "Jump Up" series can sell well, they will definitely be green-lit."

"With "Jump Up" as a promotion, it won't be unsalable." Chen Siqi said, "Besides, you are also very professional editors. We will do the front-end and you will handle the back-end. Sister Xiaoyin, we will definitely be able to introduce a group of new writers."

Chen Siqi and Lu Yanhe established Jump Up Culture Media Co., Ltd. and slowly signed a group of writers who often contributed to "Jump Up". They are basically new writers. For well-known writers like Liu Jiazhen and Mingyin who have signed contracts with Jiangyin Publishing House, Chen Siqi did not intend to target them. He just signed a long-term contribution agreement separately and advanced their royalties.

Miao Yue signed with them because of special circumstances. She is also the only writer here who has published two books and is no longer a new writer.

Xu Xiaoyin has always been very satisfied with Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi's approach in this regard. They are very clear that their focus is to make magazines, not to be publishing agents. Setting up a company and signing new authors is also to better support a group of newcomers and help everyone operate and incubate copyrights.

For example, the copyright of Liujiazhen cannot be given to the author of "Jump Up". Chen Siqi did not reduce his treatment for this reason, and gave him enough face in all aspects.

And when new authors signed by Chen Siqi want to promote single books, they will also give priority to cooperation with Jiang Yin.

For example, Miao Yue's "Late Spring" is reprinted.

Because Lu Yanhe is the leading actor, there must be many publishing houses willing to do the reprint of "Late Spring".

Chen Siqi went directly to Xu Xiaoyin.

-

At noon, Lu Yanhe rushed to the hotel with sleepy eyes and said to Xu Xiaoyin: "Sister Xiaoyin, I'm sorry, I'm in a bad state."

Xu Xiaoyin saw that Lu Yanhe actually had dark circles under his eyes, and showed a look of surprise.

She rarely saw Lu Yanhe like this.

"What kind of torture did you suffer in the crew?" She couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Yanhe shook his head and waved his hand with a wry smile, "It's not the torture of the crew, it's my own problem."

Xu Xiaoyin said: "For the movie "Nineteen Years of Crime Records", Ruyi finally decided to find Chen Ziliang to play the role instead of Li Zhibai and Yan Liang. I heard the news and thought I had to tell you quickly."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe looked surprised, "Chen Ziliang? He's going to play?"

Is Ruyi crazy?

Xu Xiaoyin nodded, "Originally their first choice was you, but after you refused, they started contacting others."

"They actually looked down on Li Zhibai and Yan Liang and chose Chen Ziliang?" Lu Yanhe still couldn't believe it.

Xu Xiaoyin: "Chen Ziliang signed his film and television contract with Ruyi, so Ruyi gave him this gift."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Xu Xiaoyin: "Also, although he hasn't acted much, he is a big star after all."

"A big star with a bad reputation." Lu Yanhe added immediately.

Xu Xiaoyin smiled, "It's a pity, I really hope that this movie can be played by you."

"I decided to play "Friends" at that time, and gave up "Nineteen Years". In fact, it was also because I didn't have time to play "Nineteen Years". Otherwise, I would definitely play it. "Nineteen Years" could not accommodate my time." Lu Yanhe said, "The role I was asked to play was only the second male lead."

"Yes, it's a pity." Xu Xiaoyin nodded, "If it weren't for you, I don't know when this novel would be known to people. Maybe it would have been dormant and unknown."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Does Brother Jiazhen have a new work?"

"He is preparing, but he hasn't decided what to write. "Nineteen Years" and "Spiral of Silence" are very successful, which puts him under a lot of pressure and he dare not easily write the next book." Xu Xiaoyin said.

Lu Yanhe said: "If Jiazhen can't think of a good story for the time being, why don't you write a column about his life first."

Chen Siqi said: "We went to ask for an article, but he kept saying that he couldn't write prose and didn't agree."

Lu Yanhe said to Xu Xiaoyin: "Jiazhen is a very good storyteller. It must be very interesting for him to talk about his life. I think many people will be interested in the daily life of a suspense crime novelist."

Xu Xiaoyin said: "Then I will talk to him again and see if I can convince him."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe laughed, "Actually, Sister Xiaoyin, we have one more thing to discuss with you."

"Huh?" Xu Xiaoyin was stunned, a little surprised, she thought everything she wanted to say today had been said.

"We hope that Senior Sister Mingyue will come to work here full-time after graduation." Lu Yanhe said, "Siqi's work here is very busy, and there are more and more things to connect. Senior Sister Mingyue used to intern at Jiangyin and connect with us on behalf of Jiangyin. In the future, we will have more and more things to connect with Jiangyin, including daily magazine publishing, supplements, and writers' single books, etc. We need someone who is very familiar with Jiangyin to be responsible for this matter. It happens that Senior Sister Mingyue is very familiar with us and Jiangyin, and she is the most suitable candidate, so we want to discuss this matter with you."

"Come here to poach my people." Xu Xiaoyin couldn't help but smile when she heard it, but she didn't feel surprised.

She actually had a premonition a long time ago.

"Xu Mingyue is just interning at Jiangyin. If she wants to work for you, of course she can. The decision is hers."

"She doesn't want her decision to affect our cooperation, and she's even more afraid that you'll be disappointed in her. She's always regarded you as her master."

Xu Xiaoyin: "How could that be? She's worrying too much. Now "Jump Up" is the most important book of Jiangyin Publishing House. We're also very happy that she can come here and connect with us as a representative of "Jump Up."

Lu Yanhe was relieved to hear what Xu Xiaoyin said, "Thank you so much, Sister Xiaoyin."

-

After having lunch with Xu Xiaoyin, Chen Siqi went to pay the bill and said goodbye to her at the door of the restaurant.

Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe and asked, "Where are you going?"

Lu Yanhe said, "I'm going to the crew."

Zou Dong had already followed. He was eating next to him just now, waiting for Lu Yanhe.

Chen Siqi asked: "Will it be convenient for me to go to the place where you are filming?"

"Sure, it's okay."

"Then I'll go with you. I'll take a flight back to Jiangguang tonight." Chen Siqi said, "I'll go see where you are filming."

"Okay."

Lu Yanhe brought Chen Siqi to the set. When the staff saw the girl next to Lu Yanhe, they were all stunned and curious about her identity.

People are not immune to this. When they see a girl next to a boy, they will doubt whether she is his girlfriend.

Especially a popular star like Lu Yanhe.

There are some photographers squatting outside the crew-since they filmed here, more and more people know that Lu Yanhe is filming here, so that more and more people will gather here, including photographers, who want to take pictures of Lu Yanhe.

Chen Siqi followed behind Lu Yanhe with a calm expression.

Some people asked excitedly if that was Lu Yanhe's girlfriend?

Someone answered calmly, "Don't be excited, that's just Chen Siqi, a high school classmate who runs a magazine with Lu Yanhe."

Chen Siqi couldn't help but smile when she heard their discussions.

She and Lu Yanhe walked into the campus.

Chen Siqi asked: "Do you shoot most of your scenes here?"

Lu Yanhe said: "This is the main scene, and there are other shooting scenes."

Chen Siqi nodded and said: "This place... looks quite old. I didn't expect that there is such an old school in Yuming."

"It's not a school anymore, it's a cram school, just like in the play." Lu Yanhe said, "At that time, Liu Bige was attracted by its oldness."

Kong Fan and others heard the news that Lu Yanhe brought a girl to the set before Lu Yanhe found the main group.

They stood in the corridor and looked around.

Chen Siqi looked up and saw a few heads sticking out of the corridor above. He smiled and asked: "Are they the actors who acted in this play with you?"

"Yeah."

"It seems that they all like you very much."

"Routine operation." Lu Yanhe raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said to Chen Siqi.

-

"Pretending, if they don't have an affair, I'm blind." Chen Ziliang exited the search interface with disdain - five minutes ago, he searched for Lu Yanhe, and saw a video of Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi walking into the set.

There were also many people in the comment area saying that it was not Lu Yanhe's girlfriend, but Chen Siqi, another editor-in-chief of "Jump Up".

It was serious.

Chen Ziliang sneered.

His agent Yan Wei asked him what he was talking about.

Chen Ziliang was too lazy to say anything else, so he just said it was nothing, and asked again: "Has the contract for "Nineteen Years" been reviewed?"

"The legal department has reviewed the contract and is ready to sign it." Yan Wei looked back at Chen Ziliang who was sitting behind him, and said: "This time you signed the film and television contract to Ruyi, and Mr. Mo is not very happy. Let's make an appointment, you can have a meal with Mr. Mo and say some soft words."

"What is there to say? I have been singing for so many years, and he still earns less?" Chen Ziliang's face was full of disgust, "Greedy, let me keep the film and television contract in Xinghe, what film and television resources can Xinghe give me?"

Yan Wei: "That's the truth, but not many people will be willing to give up their interests because of this reason. You still need Mr. Mo to support you in Xinghe, don't make the relationship with him stiff."

Chen Ziliang was silent for a long time before responding.

During this period, Chen Ziliang's situation was very bad.

The feedback on the new song was very average. Except for the music variety show, there was almost no good cooperation that took the initiative to find him. This was especially reflected in the business invitations, and the brand quality plummeted.

Chen Ziliang's music style is not suitable for film and television OST.

If it weren't for his precarious position, he wouldn't want to transform into an actor at this time.

"In fact, Ruyi really values ​​you. I heard that Li Zhibai and Yan Liang had someone help them fight for this role, but Ruyi gave it to you in the end." Yan Wei said.

"The producer of "Nineteen Years" had always wanted to find Lu Yanhe to play this role, but Lu Yanhe didn't want to play it anymore, so he gave it to me." Chen Ziliang's eyes were filled with disgust, and he didn't know who it was for. "I didn't expect that one day I would have to eat Lu Yanhe's leftovers."

Yan Wei was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Chen Ziliang said: "Yan Wei, do you think I'm going to be out of fashion?"

Yan Wei: "Of course not!"

Chen Ziliang looked at the passing street scene outside the car window, fell silent, and stopped talking.

When he asked this question, he actually knew the answer.

He knew what the answer was.

Yan Wei said: "The gains and losses of the moment are nothing. Didn't Lu Yanhe also experience the bottom of the valley for several years before? You are capable, you don't have to belittle yourself because of the gains and losses of the moment."

Chen Ziliang didn't say anything.

-

When I woke up today, I saw a lot of encouragement from people, and I immediately sharpened my knife and wrote this chapter during the lunch break.

Thank you. (End of this chapter)
