Chapter 347: Separation (7,000 Words Updated!)

Lu Yanhe did not expect that Xiao Yun would be so interested in "Wulin Gaiden".

It is a period sitcom after all. Not the number one female.

Lu Yanhe wondered whether he had underestimated the appeal of "Wulin Gaiden" to actors. He himself has always felt that if there was no "Six", it would not be a good project for actors.

At least judging from the current market conditions, this kind of unit drama has not appeared for several years.

The current dramas are divided into three categories: real life, costume idols, and suspenseful crimes. Occasionally, a little bit different ones pop up here and there, but they never become popular.

"Wulin Gaiden" cannot be classified into any category. Therefore, Lu Yanhe has always felt that although he believes that "Wulin Gaiden" will definitely be popular, for people who don't know that it has achieved success in another time and space, this is a very risky project.

Its only attraction is that the script of this drama comes from Lu Yanhe, who wrote "Six People".

-

Lu Yanhe went to the bathroom.

Only Zhang Luzhou and Xiao Yun were left in the box.

Zhang Luzhou glanced at the closed door and asked, "Xiao Xiao, if I fight with Lu Yanhe, will he let me act in "Wulin Gaiden"?"

Xiao Yun glanced at his boyfriend in surprise.

"Didn't he just say that? You are the first actor he has chosen, and the other roles have not yet been cast." Zhang Luzhou said, "If I can play one of the protagonists, I will become famous. "

Xiao Yun looked at him in embarrassment and said, "How about I go back and ask him? See his opinion."

Zhang Luzhou sighed, nodded, and said, "Don't force it. I also know that I don't have much fame now, so it's basically impossible for me to play the leading role."

When Xiao Yun saw him saying this, he felt a little guilty.

"You will definitely become popular." Xiao Yun encouraged, "I brought you here to meet him this time, just to see if he has so many projects in the future. If there is a role suitable for you, I can ask you to play it. ”

Zhang Luzhou nodded, held Xiao Yun's hand and said, "Xiao Xiao, thank you."

-

"Hey, isn't that Lu Yanhe?" When Lu Yanhe came out of the bathroom, someone saw him and immediately whispered to his companions.

"He's actually here too." His companion said in surprise.

"Should we just shoot him?"

"Oh, he has nothing to take pictures of. He lives a miserable life every day. There is nothing to take pictures of. We all took other people's money and we agreed to take some pictures today."

"If Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi were eating here today, it would be great if we could take photos of their date."

"Chen Siqi is staying in Jiangguang. If Chen Siqi returns to Yuming, we won't be the only two here tonight."

…

The two people talked quietly as they passed through the corridor and went to the bathroom.

They didn't notice the waiter standing nearby arranging the carts.

After they turned the corner, Wang Biao raised his head and looked in the direction they left with a puzzled expression.

Wang Biao became interested mainly because he heard Lu Yanhe's name.

He didn't know how to describe his impression of Lu Yanhe. All in all, he met all kinds of people during this period, and the only ones who truly made him feel grateful were Lu Yanhe and the professor from last time.

Not everyone will be nice to him, especially strangers who meet by chance.

From the beginning, he rashly asked Lu Yanhe to live broadcast, but later on, Lu Yanhe specifically comforted and encouraged him. Wang Biao has met many people, but there are very few people like Lu Yanhe who are truly friendly to him.

Although these two people did not plan to continue filming Lu Yanhe, there were two paparazzi in the hotel, and Wang Biao felt that he still had to remind Lu Yanhe and tell him about this.

When Lu Yanhe finished dinner with Xiao Yun and Zhang Luzhou and was about to leave, Lu Yanhe went to pay the bill.

Wang Biao reminded him in a low voice: "There are two paparazzi outside. They seem to have been paid to take pictures of someone. They saw you and were hesitant to take pictures of you."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

What this means is that there are paparazzi outside who were invited by others. The original purpose was not to take pictures of him, but they saw him, so they might take pictures of him. Is this what you mean?

Lu Yanhe thought to himself that he was just eating with Xiao Yun normally anyway, and there was nothing to worry about being photographed. He said thank you to Wang Biao, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "Are you free these two days? If you are free, Let’s talk about something. I have a job I’d like you to do.”

Wang Biao looked surprised and surprised.

"ah?"

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "The salary is definitely higher than if you were a waiter here."

Wang Biao's eyes instantly shined.

"If I'm free, I'll be available for shift tomorrow. I'll be free until three in the afternoon."

"Okay, come find me here at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Lu Yanhe took out a card he had prepared long ago from his wallet and handed it to Wang Biao. This is Chen Ziyan's office address.

Wang Biao looked at Lu Yanhe with surprise on his face, "Okay, I will be there on time!"

Lu Yanhe smiled slightly.

-

Lu Yanhe turned around and went back to the private room. When he saw Xiao Yun starting to put on a hat and a mask, Zhang Luzhou was helping her carry her bag. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

Are those two paparazzi outside here to take pictures of Xiao Yun?

As far as I can remember, Xiao Yun’s relationship hasn’t been made public yet.

Lu Yanhe just thought about himself, but not Xiao Yun.

“Have you made your relationship public?” Lu Yanhe asked.

Xiao Yun and Zhang Luzhou looked at each other.

Xiao Yun shook her head and said, “We haven’t made it public yet. My agent said that I’m not suitable for a public relationship now.”

For a young actress like Xiao Yun, not making a public relationship is a very common choice.

No matter how free love is, artists can also fall in love now, but before they have established themselves, love is like a time bomb, and no one knows when it will explode.

Lu Yanhe said, “I just received news that there are paparazzi outside. If you haven’t made it public, you may need to be careful not to be photographed.”

Xiao Yun and Zhang Luzhou’s expressions changed.

“Paparazzi?”

“Yes.” Lu Yanhe nodded.

Xiao Yun showed a look of surprise on her face, "Are you here to take pictures of us?"

"I don't know, maybe there are others here." Lu Yanhe said, "You guys leave first, I'll stay here for a while, wait for you to leave, I'll leave in thirty minutes."

Xiao Yun nodded, and she said, "I've sent a message to the driver, he'll be here in ten minutes."

She thought of something and said to Zhang Luzhou, "Luzhou, you go out first? I'll come out later."

Zhang Luzhou nodded and said okay.

"Then I'll find a place nearby to wait for you."

Xiao Yun nodded.

Zhang Luzhou handed her bag to her, said hello to Lu Yanhe, and left first.

Lu Yanhe and Xiao Yun sat down again.

Xiao Yun sighed, "What a hassle."

Lu Yanhe smiled, "Have you and Zhang Luzhou been together since college?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yun nodded, "We've been together for a long time."

"Is he acting now?"

"He's been auditioning, but there aren't many roles he can get. I can only recommend him to some crews as a classmate, but the roles he can get are also very small." Xiao Yun sighed and shook his head, "It's only now that I realize I'm not that popular, but everyone says I'm popular."

Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say.

The relationship between an actor and a role depends on whether it's suitable or not, and it doesn't mean that if you're popular, you'll recommend someone else to use you. However, Xiao Yun may not mean that. She's not the kind of self-righteous girl, she may just be expressing a kind of frustration.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Can't he get a role by auditioning?"

Xiao Yun: "Many times his performance is not bad, but he has many connections, so he is often squeezed out, and the most important thing is that he generally can't get a better role. Most of the time, he is a very instrumental role."

Lu Yanhe heard this and said: "Maybe he can only play such a role at the beginning."

Unless you have a heaven-defying appearance and acting skills, which can make people take a fancy to you at first sight and give you a good opportunity.

Xiao Yun: "Yanhe, is there a role suitable for him in "Wulin Waijiao"? His acting is actually quite good. When he was in school, his major was always among the best."

Lu Yanhe shook his head hesitantly and said: "I haven't thought of a role suitable for him for the time being, and I haven't seen him act, so I don't know how he acts."

Xiao Yun: "Next time there is an audition, give him a chance, he will definitely not let you down."

Xiao Yun was firm.

Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "The audition will definitely be no problem."

Xiao Yun: "Thank you."

-

After dealing with Xiao Yun, the second person Lu Yanhe wanted to deal with was He Jiang.

However, Lu Yanhe did not think that He Jiang would be difficult to deal with.

Instead, he decided to invite He Jiang's classmate, Wang Dashan, to come out first. Before that, Lu Yanhe contacted Jia Long and prepared to arrange a time for Wang Dashan to audition on the spot.

After receiving Lu Yanhe's call, Wang Dashan was flattered and even stuttered a little. When he said yes, he said it two or three times.

Lu Yanhe didn't know whether He Jiang told Wang Dashan about his recommendation after he went back that day, but from Wang Dashan's reaction, he didn't seem to expect that he would really contact him.

At 9:30 in the morning, Lu Yanhe practiced the theme song of "Seventeenth Floor" twice again in the rehearsal room, finished practicing, and went to find Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan was making coffee.

"Would you like a drink? Ma Zhongquan sent me beans. He spent a lot of money this time, bringing them back from Panama for me."

"I've already had a cup, forget it." Lu Yanhe asked, "Why did he send you coffee beans again?"

"He wants to ease the relationship with me." Chen Ziyan, wearing a skirt that highlights her slender figure, turned around with a cup in her hand, and smiled at Lu Yanhe while standing in front of the coffee machine. "He had a falling out with me before, but he found out that I had tricked him and almost took his position. Now he has learned his lesson and is trying to stabilize me again, fearing that I would really have ideas about his position and drive him out."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"It's time to make up for it."

"That's good. I didn't plan to really fall out with him. Now both sides have a way out, which is a good thing." Chen Ziyan said.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"I asked someone to investigate the background of the Wang Biao you chose. There is nothing sensitive about him. He is just an ordinary person. However, he is quite capable. Judging from his experience, he is not someone who will be content with the status quo. If you ask him to be your assistant, it will be fine for the first one or two years. Later, after seeing a bigger world, he may not be satisfied with continuing to be a small assistant."

"That's good too. It's not a bad thing for people to be ambitious. I told you about his affairs. I think he has good character. This is the key." Lu Yanhe said.

"Well, this is also why I think he is not bad." Chen Ziyan nodded, "Another thing is that he is a man. Being your assistant can avoid a lot of trouble."

"Well." Lu Yanhe nodded.

Wang Biao hadn't come yet, but Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan had already made a basic judgment. Many times, the so-called interview or audition is like this. Long before it started, there was already an opinion. The interview or audition was just to confirm in person whether it was really as they had judged before.

At ten o'clock, Wang Biao was about to be brought in by Chen Ziyan's secretary.

Lu Yanhe only met Wang Biao, and then said that he still had rehearsals, and left Chen Ziyan's office.

The interview was just for Chen Ziyan to see how Wang Biao was and have a serious chat with him. If Lu Yanhe was here, Chen Ziyan couldn't ask many questions, and even if she asked, Wang Biao might not be able to answer them.

-

Lu Yanhe went downstairs, but happened to meet Lu Qingzhen holding a large cardboard box in the elevator.

"Sister Qingzhen, what are you doing?"

Lu Qingzhen smiled slightly and said, "What a coincidence, you came to the company today, I resigned."

"Resigned?" Lu Yanhe looked at Lu Qingzhen in shock.

Seeing Lu Yanhe so shocked, Lu Qingzhen was still confused, "Didn't Ziyan tell you? I'm going to work in her company."

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized, "Is it the senior brokerage service company she opened herself?"

"That's right." Lu Qingzhen nodded, "I will also participate more in your work affairs in the future."

Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought Lu Qingzhen was fired by the company.

In fact, if he asked a few more questions, he would know that this was really the case. It's just that Lu Qingzhen took advantage of the "fire" incident to get compensation from the company that was far more than expected at the beginning.

Lu Yanhe knew that Lu Qingzhen was actually very capable. If she hadn't deliberately concealed her incompetence, she would not have been just an ordinary team leader in the Ministry of Commerce. And she did this because, no matter how capable she was, Ma Zhongquan would not let her get promoted because of her relationship with Chen Ziyan.

They both knew what was going on.

This time Lu Qingzhen left, which was definitely a loss for Star Entertainment.

So far, Lu Yanhe's most awesome endorsement of Math was the one that Lu Qingzhen got for him at lightning speed when she saw the right opportunity.

For an artist, an awesome endorsement is not just as simple as the endorsement fee. To exaggerate, it is even a status, a business card. Just like Lu Yanhe was invited to participate in the Jose-Jacques Film Festival as the spokesperson for Math. Not everyone can go there if they want to. Of course, Lu Yanhe has other ways to go, but he can go as the spokesperson of Math, which is legitimate, so why not?

Similarly, a suitable endorsement is very beneficial to an artist's commercial image. Lu Yanhe does not have many endorsements, but the endorsement fees are not low. They are the market price, not some artists who take the initiative to reduce the endorsement fees or even do not take money just to get a title in order to gild themselves. At the same time, every endorsement he has is in line with his image, which benefits him and the brand image and achieves the greatest endorsement effect.

It can be said that Lu Qingzhen is present in every endorsement of Lu Yanhe.

If you do not know how to accept endorsements based on the characteristics of an artist, and only know to look at the price, brand image, and level, it will actually damage the image of the artist.

Just like a writer endorsing a certain coffee caused public ridicule, and a big star endorsing a second-hand software was accused of being low-level.

Regardless of whether these voices are correct or not, they have caused controversy among the public, which is a fact that cannot be denied.

Lu Yanhe did not cause such controversy because of any endorsement, which shows Lu Qingzhen's ability.

Lu Yanhe took the box from Lu Qingzhen and said, "I'll take you down."

Lu Qingzhen was flattered and said in surprise, "You are so nice."

Lu Yanhe smiled, "I just helped out, how can it be nice?"

"Haha, you may not know that I am leaving, and those people in my department dare not even talk to me, for fear that they will be remembered by President Ma."

"Ah? What does this have to do with President Ma?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Lu Qingzhen then explained the reason why she left Xingyu at this time.

Lu Yanhe couldn't help getting angry after hearing this.

"Does Ma Zhiyuan have to be so shameless?"

"Whatever, I don't care, anyway I'm leaving anyway." Lu Qingzhen said, and then winked at Lu Yanhe, "What's more, I didn't suffer any loss."

"It's just one year's salary, you call it not suffering any loss?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Lu Qingzhen smiled and said nothing, but a mysterious smile flashed on her face.

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized, well, it seems that it is not that simple.

How could someone like Lu Qingzhen suffer a loss?

Lu Yanhe did not ask any more questions.

The elevator went down to the parking lot and they walked out of the elevator.

Lu Yanhe walked with Lu Qingzhen to her car, holding the cardboard box.

"Sister Qingzhen, are you going to start working in Sister Zi Yan's senior brokerage service company right now?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Lu Qingzhen said, "I'll take a break for half a month. It's rare that I don't have to go to work. Let me take a breath and take a vacation."

Lu Yanhe nodded after hearing this.

Lu Qingzhen blinked at Lu Yanhe and said, "The forms of cooperation between you and me will become more and more diverse. We will contact each other more frequently in the future."

Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise and did not react to her meaning for a while.

"Ah?"

Lu Qingzhen: "I'll keep it a secret for now, you'll know later."

Lu Yanhe said, "Okay."

Just then, a roar suddenly sounded from behind--

"Lu Qingzhen! Stop right there!"

Zhou Ping'an walked towards them hurriedly like an angry lion.

He looked as if he was going to cut Lu Qingzhen into pieces.

Lu Yanhe frowned, stepped forward immediately, stood in front of Lu Qingzhen, and looked at Zhou Ping'an.

Zhou Ping'an didn't expect Lu Yanhe to be here.

He glared at Lu Yanhe and said, "Get out of my way!"

Lu Yanhe looked at Zhou Ping'an and said, "Brother Ping'an, you're not going to fight with Sister Qingzhen, are you? Are you a man going to fight with a woman?"

Zhou Ping'an was furious, "Don't try that on me!"

Seeing that Lu Yanhe refused to get out of the way, he had to look past Lu Yanhe and glare at Lu Qingzhen.

"You spread rumors about Ma Zhiyuan outside, saying that he has many black spots and thunder points. Once it is exposed, he will be directly banned. You also made the two endorsement brands he has consider not renewing their contracts after the contract expires in the second half of this year! You violated professional ethics!"

Lu Yanhe was stunned when he heard Zhou Ping'an's accusation.

Lu Qingzhen stood behind Lu Yanhe leisurely, patted Lu Yanhe's shoulder, and said: "Yanhe, we adults are talking about things, so you don't need to stand up for your sister. Don't worry, there are surveillance cameras here. If he dares to touch a hair on my head, I can sue him and ruin his reputation."

Lu Qingzhen's indifferent tone exuded a hint of domineering.

Lu Yanhe looked at Lu Qingzhen in surprise.

Lu Qingzhen folded her hands in front of her chest, looked at Zhou Pingan, and said, "You have listed so many crimes against me, so I want to ask you, do you have any evidence?"

Zhou Pingan's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, "Do you think that no one will tell us what you said outside?"

"Oh, rumors." Lu Qingzhen smiled coquettishly, "Then there is no evidence. Then you said that I violated professional ethics. Please figure it out. There are so many rumors in this industry. Who said it was me? Call out, I will confront that person!"

Zhou Pingan was so angry at Lu Qingzhen that his breathing became heavy.

It was the first time that Lu Yanhe saw this side of Lu Qingzhen.

He was just a little confused. Why is this side of Lu Qingzhen so similar to the weird sister Zi Yan?

Zhou Pingan stared at Lu Qingzhen fiercely.

"Don't think you can clear yourself by saying this. If you do such a thing, I wonder how you can gain a foothold in the industry in the future!"

Lu Qingzhen chuckled, "Boss Ma spent a year's salary to make me shut up about your matter. If you want me to open my mouth again, please do so."

Zhou Ping'an was threatened by Lu Qingzhen's words and gnashed his teeth, but he had nothing to say.

He huffed and puffed for a long time, and found that he really couldn't do anything to Lu Qingzhen, so he could only throw a vicious word and turn around and leave.

"Just wait and see! If you have the ability, you won't have any handle in my hands in the future!"

Lu Qingzhen put away the smile on her face and looked at Zhou Ping'an's back indifferently.

Lu Yanhe looked at her and asked, "Sister Qingzhen, are you okay?"

"Nothing."

-

In the world of fame and fortune, it's not just artists fighting with artists and agents fighting with agents.

Where there are resources, there is competition, and where there is competition, there is struggle.

Whether you are in front of the stage or behind the scenes, the vortex will sweep you in.

-

Lu Yanhe had fully witnessed this kind of face-to-face conflict in the company.

He couldn't help but wonder, did Chen Ziyan also have such conflicts with others in these matters?

Especially with Ma Zhongquan.

After this question popped up in Lu Yanhe's mind, he immediately realized that this was not a question that needed to be thought about at all.

Because the answer was set in stone.

Chen Ziyan rarely told him about these conflicts behind the scenes.

Many things were already concluded and the results when they came to him.

He just needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Half an hour later, Lu Yanhe returned to Chen Ziyan's office.

Wang Biao's face was pale as if he had experienced a storm.

Lu Yanhe didn't know what he had experienced. But no matter what it was, Lu Yanhe hoped that he would not back down.

Chen Ziyan smiled at Lu Yanhe and said, "Yanhe, you found a very good assistant, I feel relieved."

Lu Yanhe laughed in surprise, "Really? Wang Biao, you actually got such a high evaluation from Chen Ziyan."

Wang Biao showed a faint, somewhat forced smile.

He didn't know how to describe the tension he felt in the past thirty minutes, as if he was standing in a courtroom to be tried.

Chen Ziyan was not actually very fierce or strict. But she had an inexplicable aura that made you feel like you were being tried.

Wang Biao didn't expect that after he spoke for thirty minutes, Chen Ziyan would say that he was "very good".

So, Wang Biao was hired.

In the first year, he received a monthly salary of 8,000 after tax, bonuses based on performance every quarter, and a year-end bonus at the end of the year.

This generous condition instantly soothed Wang Biao's injured heart.

He suddenly became excited and expressed his attitude, saying, "I will definitely do a good job!"

Then, Wang Biao was sent for training.

Chen Ziyan said that there are many things that artist assistants need to pay attention to, and they must be trained intensively.

-

Lu Yanhe told Chen Ziyan what happened in the parking lot just now.

Chen Ziyan sneered when she heard the conflict between Lu Qingzhen and Zhou Pingan.

"Zhou Ping'an is still a dog that can't change its nature. He doesn't do anything and doesn't allow others to do anything. I hope he will be angry to death soon."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Look, it's this weird energy, exactly the same as Lu Qingzhen just now.

Chen Ziyan looked at Lu Yanhe in confusion and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Yanhe put away his thoughts, smiled and said, "No, no."

Chen Ziyan said again, "You found an assistant for yourself, which is good, but you should remember that great kindness turns into hatred, don't blur the boundaries between you."

Lu Yanhe: "Okay, I know, I will pay attention."

Chen Ziyan nodded with satisfaction, "The senior brokerage service company that I and Lu Qingzhen are facing is no longer just artists. We will tailor-make service plans for celebrities in various fields. I want to sign Chen Siqi as my client."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

What Lu Qingzhen said in the parking lot just now reappeared in his mind.

-The forms of cooperation between me and you will become more and more diverse, and we will contact more frequently in the future.

So, that's what it means.

Lu Yanhe said, "As long as Siqi agrees."

"Yes." Chen Ziyan nodded, "In addition to her, we will consider some writers that you will launch in the future, as well as self-media bloggers and Internet celebrities... If we think there is room for cooperation, we will develop a cooperative model. So, I'm thinking, if you are interested, do you want to invest? Of course, the shares left for you will not be many, it is more of a symbol of strengthening cooperation. I am not short of investment, let alone money."

Lu Yanhe did not hesitate and nodded directly, "Okay."

Chen Ziyan laughed and nodded. (End of this chapter)
