Chapter 423: Determined to Win, Right?
Liu Zhen and Zhong Benzhuo were stunned for a moment, and then Liu Zhen looked at Zhong Benzhuo.
Zhong Benzhuo said something to Liu Zhen, probably explaining what Lu Yanhe said just now.
Liu Zhen laughed after hearing this, pointed his finger at Lu Yanhe, and said a few words.
Zhong Benzhuo also laughed.
"Yan He, don't worry, what happened in this room will never be spread."
Zhong Benshuo gave Lu Yanhe a "relaxing" look. Then, as if to prove to Lu Yanhe that it was really safe here and there was no need to worry, he reached out and grabbed the hand of the woman who walked in front of him. With a gentle pull, the woman She sat down on his lap with a smile and put a hand on his shoulder gently and softly.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Mr. Zhong, I love my girlfriend very much, so thank you and Senior Liu for your kindness. I don't need it anymore." Lu Yanhe insisted, then looked at the woman standing in front of him at a loss, and said in English She said: "I don't know if you understand English. If you do, I don't need you to come and accompany me."
The woman looked helplessly at Zhong Benshuo and Liu Zhen.
Zhong Benshuo took a deep look at Lu Yanhe, turned to Liu Zhen and whispered something.
The smile on Liu Zhen's face paused slightly, and then he made a casual gesture and gave the woman a "go ahead" look.
In this environment, Lu Yanhe was on pins and needles.
Liu Zhen waited for the woman to leave, then he looked at Lu Yanhe with a smile.
Next, it was actually just a very ordinary chat, and nothing of value was discussed. It’s nothing more than finding suitable opportunities to film and work on projects together in the future. If Lu Yanhe needs Liu Zhen's help in any way, feel free to ask, etc., etc.
Lu Yanhe barely maintained his social etiquette and did not get up and leave directly, but he developed a "respectful but insensitive" attitude towards Liu Zhen in his heart. Lu Yanhe actually doesn't care about the consensual relationship. He is not a moral saint, and he can't see sand in his eyes. However, he didn't like bringing him to such an occasion when they first met.
They didn't really get to know him, and they didn't test his opinions in advance. They just made arrangements for him in such a majestic way with a "food and sex" attitude.
Lu Yanhe felt very disrespected - even though their attitude was so warm and they seemed to be very friendly to him, they chatted in such a "private and candid" environment for the first time.
After staying for ten minutes, Lu Yanhe thanked and left on the grounds that he had to shoot tomorrow morning.
Zhong Benzhuo did not expect Lu Yanhe to ask to leave so soon.
But Lu Yanhe had decided to leave, so Zhong Benshuo had no choice but to send him away.
Lu Yanhe walked out of the room and said to Zou Dong and Wang Biao, who had been waiting outside, "Let's go."
Zou Dong and Wang Biao could see Lu Yanhe's dissatisfaction at a glance.
He didn't ask anything, just nodded and followed.
Zhong Benzhuo caught up.
"Yan He, are you really not going to play anymore? Why did you leave so early?"
Lu Yanhe stopped and said to Zhong Benzhuo very seriously: "Mr. Zhong, I hope you will not take me to a place like that just now without informing me in advance next time, and make some arrangements that I don't know about."
Zhong Benzhuo's face became a little stunned and ugly.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, nodded to him, and left.
-
Lu Yanhe and the others returned to the hotel, and Chen Ziyan's video conference was finished.
When Lu Yanhe told Chen Ziyan what he had just experienced, Chen Ziyan became so angry that she almost wanted to roll up her sleeves and scold Zhong Benzhuo.
Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Ziyan, forget it, just stop interacting with him in the future."
Chen Ziyan's face was livid and ugly.
"I almost got him! Once someone sees something like this and a little bit of news spreads, your career will be ruined!" Chen Ziyan said, "This is not a joke, even if they in Korea suck D We in China are not able to continue acting. Once you get involved in this muddy water, do you think you can come out cleanly? You will never be able to be a high-quality artist openly. Every day after that, you Everyone will live in the worry of scandal exposure. The more successful you are, the more afraid you will be, because you know that the place you are standing on is unstable and may collapse at any time. "
Every word Chen Ziyan said was like a hammer hitting Lu Yanhe's heart.
After a while, fear came to mind.
What if your acting career is really ruined because of this incident? A chill started to creep up my spine.
Chen Ziyan said: "I was also negligent this time. It's very chaotic abroad. In the future, when you go abroad or go anywhere, as long as you are not an acquaintance you trust, you can't go randomly."
In fact, Zhong Benzhuo can't be considered a stranger in any way. It is precisely because Zhong Benshuo arranged this trip very carefully that Chen Ziyan and the others did not expect that they would encounter such a thing when Zhong Benshuo took Lu Yanhe to meet an actor like Liu Zhen in the evening.
Lu Yanhe sighed.
"Actually, I felt something was wrong after I entered. But at that time, I thought that since it was Liu Zhen, this shouldn't be the case. I didn't expect..." This was said a bit in hindsight, but it was indeed true.
Chen Ziyan said: "It's okay. Fortunately, you held your position and were not tempted. You will learn from the experience. You can rest first. There will be filming tomorrow morning."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"good."
When Chen Ziyan waited for him to leave, the look on her face that had softened a little became dark again.
You have to make some preparations——
If it were revealed that Lu Yanhe entered that room tonight, it would be hard to explain, even if he jumped into the river, he would have to make a public relations plan in advance.
Furthermore, she also had to seriously negotiate with Zhong Benzhuo.
Things can't just pass by quietly. Stop spoiling Yan He with those rotten things!
Chen Ziyan has been in the entertainment industry for too many years and has seen many people dragged into the water because of such accidents.
Lu Yanhe is still young and easily targeted.
Chen Ziyan sounded the alarm for herself.
-
The next morning, Zhong Benzhuo did not show up. Of course, they didn't expect him to show up, and the morning's work had nothing to do with Maxine.
Lu Yanhe completed a shoot for a Korean fashion magazine - this was the cover bought for him by his endorsement brand Math.
This is also Lu Yanhe’s first time shooting for the cover of a Korean fashion magazine. Male artists appear on the covers of fashion magazines much less than female artists, and Lu Yanhe himself does not take many photos. Basically, the endorsement brands foot the bill, and he cooperates in promoting the brands as a spokesperson.
Shooting magazines is not that enjoyable for him because he has to pose in various poses, which is not what he is good at. He is very comfortable with the camera, but he is not comfortable with posing. Fortunately, I finally had some experience and managed to finish the shoot despite my hard work.
Until the end of the filming, Zhong Benshuo suddenly appeared.
There was still a bright smile on his face, as if the unhappiness when Lu Yanhe separated from him last night did not exist, or in other words, had disappeared.
After Lu Yanhe said goodbye to the photography team, he said in a very exaggerated tone: "As expected of you, even shooting for a magazine has such a cinematic feel! When I looked at it from a distance, it seemed like I was seeing a scene in a movie. ! Your eyes are full of stories.”
After Zhong Benshuo said this exaggerated compliment, Lu Yanhe's face could no longer remain serious.
He looked at Zhong Benzhuo and sighed.
"Mr. Zhong, the fan meeting only starts in the afternoon. You don't have to come and accompany me in the morning."
"I am your die-hard fan, and I also want to see how you are working for the magazine." Zhong Benshuo said, "After you left yesterday, brother Liu Zhen was full of praise for your acting skills and said that you are one of the younger generation actors. He has great potential and will definitely become a superstar in the future.”
Lu Yanhe was not very able to accept compliments from others, let alone such harsh compliments like Zhong Benshuo. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Zhong, don't brag. There is no such thing. It's getting late. We are going to have lunch. Are you going with us at noon? Or are you?" Any other arrangements?”
Zhong Benzhuo said: "I have made arrangements at noon and I will come specifically to pick you up for lunch."
"Arrangement? Thank you for your kindness, but we have chosen a hot pot restaurant online that we really want to go to. We have already planned to eat there." Lu Yanhe said.
Zhong Benzhuo: "Huh? My restaurant has been booked."
"That's really embarrassing. You didn't tell us in advance and we have already reserved a seat." Lu Yanhe said directly.
At this time, Chen Ziyan came over after chatting with the people at the magazine.
"Mr. Zhong is here." Chen Ziyan took advantage of her gender and career advantages. At this time, she was not polite at all and directly wrote the four words "yin and yang" into the pronunciation of each word.
Zhong Benshuo was stunned for a moment and then immediately realized why Chen Ziyan had such an attitude towards him.
He didn't rush to explain anything, he just smiled and pretended to be stupid.
In the end, Zhong Benshuo was still shameless, as if he couldn't understand Chen Ziyan's face, and followed them to the hot pot restaurant. He didn't mention what happened last night and only found other topics to talk to them.
Lu Yanhe was amazed in the end. How can one person be completely immune to the indifference of the other person's attitude and still be able to sing lively for hours while singing a big opera?
All I can say is, no wonder people can do well in Maxine, they always have two brushes.
-
During the fan meeting in the afternoon, a total of 500 people finally got tickets to attend this event.
Lu Yanhe never thought that 500 people in South Korea would come to see him offline.
It wasn't until he stood in front of these five hundred fans and saw that almost every one of them was holding a light sign or poster in their hands, and they were emitting excited and exciting shouts like a wave, that Lu Yanhe felt that A kind of reality.
Neither he nor Chen Ziyan has ever managed fans, hot searches, etc. here. It can be said that popularity and popularity basically grow wildly. That's why I'm surprised by the current situation.
Facing his fans, Lu Yanhe is still very enthusiastic and grateful to them.
A fan said that she drove for several hours to get here, and she was very happy to see him in person in her lifetime. She was very moved. Lu Yanhe was frightened by the word "in her lifetime". He smiled and shook his hand, saying: "Not really, not really. Seeing me is not worth becoming a wish in your lifetime. This puts a lot of pressure on me. But thank you for liking me."
A fan said excitedly that she liked "Friends" very much, but she was very upset when she heard that he would not be in the second season. She even cried for a week. Lu Yanhe said "Huh?" in his heart. A week? He could only comfort her and said: "As an actor Lu Yanhe, I will always have works to accompany you in the future. There is a long time to come. Don't cry for a week. You are very beautiful. If your eyes are swollen, it will affect your appearance."
The fan sat down happily.
This face-to-face communication made Lu Yanhe feel directly what Zhong Benshuo had been emphasizing.
Streaming media can make a play go to the world from a relatively closed place.
When filming "Friends" and "The Seventeenth Floor", I never thought that the drama would have such a big impact in Japan and South Korea, with so many viewers.
Before Lu Yanhe came, he was more or less proud of himself. He already has many people who like him in China, and he is already a big star with many fans. South Korea and Japan are not his base camps. It is good if someone likes him, but it is not so urgent to overcome if no one likes him or knows him.
However, from meeting the fans who picked him up at the airport to this moment, standing on the stage and hearing every fan express their love for him in person, Lu Yanhe had to admit that he was greedy, even greedy.
He just wanted more people to know him, pay attention to him, like him, and recognize him. This is also a kind of spiritual opium that can make people addicted. His so-called calmness and self-control are just a cross-section. In the final analysis, he is not a hermit who lives in seclusion. Whether he admits it or not, he is a person who is essentially a bit vulgar and still pursues fame and fortune.
Lu Yanhe did not expect that he would suddenly have a deeper understanding of himself when he stood on the stage of this fan meeting.
-
This fan meeting was also live-streamed on Maxine.
Zhong Benshuo received data from his colleagues that this fan meeting had nearly 70,000 viewers, with a maximum of more than 40,000 simultaneous viewers.
This is a very good data for the nature of such an event.
As calculated by the data model, many users on Maxine are his fans. When they see his face, they will click in to take a look. Lu Yanhe's event was not recommended on the big picture, but only emails and reminders were sent to subscribers of "Seventeenth Floor" and "Friends" to tell them that there is such a live broadcast of such a fan meeting. In addition, it was promoted on small channels and social media. With such promotional resources, such a number of viewers were obtained.
Zhong Benshuo looked at the data and was more convinced that he had made the right choice to invite Lu Yanhe this time.
It cost a lot to invite Lu Yanhe to come, from his labor fee to his and his team's food, clothing, housing and transportation. But it was worth it. Maintaining a good relationship with Lu Yanhe is secondary. The number of viewers of these two live broadcasts and the publicity effect generated can easily earn back the money spent.
Zhong Benshuo thought of the magazine that Lu Yanhe shot this morning.
Korean fashion magazines have always been very exclusive, especially when it comes to celebrity artists from other Asian countries and regions. The cover resources are either reserved for their own people or given to European and American ones. The fashion magazine that Lu Yanhe shot today is not one of the top ones, but it is also a first-line magazine that is still difficult to get on. But Math threw money at the editor-in-chief's office, urgently formed a shooting team, prepared a shooting plan overnight, and jumped the queue to get the April issue.
From this incident, Zhong Benshuo saw nothing else but Math's attention to Lu Yanhe. The importance a brand attaches to a spokesperson is not determined by the fancy titles or commercial flattery he gives them, but by how much money he is willing to spend on this person and what kind of treatment he is willing to give him at critical moments.
From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lu Yanhe is Math's son in Asia.
Anyway, according to the news from the fashion circle, Math has never spent so much money on a cover for any Korean spokesperson.
Zhong Benshuo is determined to further cooperate with Lu Yanhe. (End of this chapter)
