Chapter 607
"We just received a piece of news saying that our drama "Silent Stairs" has changed directors before it starts filming, right?"
In a TV interview the next day, the reporter asked Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Yes, due to some unexpected circumstances, our original director was unable to continue directing, so we temporarily invited Chen Yu, who was working on another project of our Jump Theater, to direct "The Silent Staircase."
"Has the pressure of changing directors at short notice affected you and the crew's filming?"
"There must be, but we also unexpectedly discovered a great director." Lu Yanhe smiled brightly, "Just wait and see, Director Chen Yu will produce very good works in the future, I am very happy , "The Silent Staircase" is his first independent directorial work."
"This also adds one more new director to the list of new directors you are working with." The reporter said with a smile.
"Ah, yes, it is." Lu Yanhe reacted and nodded, "It's true."
"It stands to reason that an actor like you usually participates in the top productions in the industry, but it seems that you are still involved in many film and television projects that we did not expect. If "Silent Stairs" is a jump theater project, Support, why did you choose to participate in Malaysian director Huang Tianlin’s film at this time? And, as far as we know, you are not playing a leading role?”
The controversy over this matter has actually never subsided.
Ever since the news broke, there has been a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Many fans left messages saying they did not understand his choices and decisions.
Lu Yanhe said: "Because it is a small-budget art film, and because the character I play is not the protagonist."
The reporter was stunned and seemed not to understand what he was talking about.
"ah?"
"I mean, actually if you want to talk about big productions and top-level projects, I have no shortage of such projects. In terms of movies, I have already filmed "Fire", and in terms of TV series, I also have "Seventeen Floor" and "Friends", as an actor, I hope that I can present more diverse things to the audience, especially the fans who really like to see me explore different types of performances."
Lu Yanhe said frankly: "I hope that I can cooperate with directors from different countries and cultural backgrounds in different types of film and television dramas in the future, whether it is a protagonist or a supporting role, as long as it is something I have not tried before, and the script is good enough." , then even if I am not the most important person in the work, outside of the work, I can use my power to help this work be seen by the world, why shouldn’t I?”
The reporter was stunned and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Your layout is so big."
Lu Yanhe smiled and waved his hands.
"No, I'm just a bit greedy actor. I want awards and box office, I want commercial and artistic films, I also want the audience's applause and the actor's sense of accomplishment."

Airport, pick-up hall.
Helan waved to Chen Siqi who came out, walked over, and handed her a thermos cup filled with coffee.
"Thank you for the business trip."
Chen Siqi smiled at Helan and asked, "Why are you so happy?"
Helan said: "The interview Yan He accepted on a TV station was broadcast just now. Some of the things he said in it made me very happy."
"Huh? What did he say again?"
"It doesn't matter what he says, what's important is that he knows what he wants to do." Helan helped Chen Siqi take her suitcase and said, "The news that Yan He was going to act in the Malaysian movie made many of his fans very happy. I don’t understand, and many people are angry, thinking that he doesn’t value his career and takes on dramas randomly.”
Chen Siqi smiled.
"Just listen to what they say. How many times did Yan He take on a film, but they didn't understand it at first, whether it was "Three Mountains", "Late Spring", or "The Mist"... What was the result? They never understood it anyway. Without looking at past facts, one will only think that as long as If you are not a big director or a big producer, you are not worthy of Yan He. In this regard, Sister Zi Yan and I are the same. Even if we have doubts about Yan He's film selection, facts have already proven that we will not stop it. If you don’t have his vision, then you need to be more self-aware.”
Helan: "But many actors can't stick to their choices like Yan He. Something happened yesterday. Did you know? After Zhang Lan and Yan Liang played "Liu Guang Yin", didn't they never join the cast? ? She had been in contact with a drama team about urban women for a while and was about to sign a contract. But when the news came out, her fans launched a large-scale boycott. "
"Ah? Why are you boycotting?"
"On the one hand, it's because this drama is a group portrait, not a main heroine. There are three heroines. On the other hand, the character she was approached by fans thought the character design was not good because she played a housewife with a husband and a daughter. Later, her husband cheated on her, and she forgave her husband. "So Zhang Lan's fans were very angry and thought Zhang Lan should not play such a role."
Chen Siqi: "Then who will replace Zhang Lan?"
"It's Zhen Hongyu." Helan said, "Zhen Hongyu's fans also had some objections after they found out that she had accepted the role, but Zhen Hongyu responded directly to her fans in the comment area."
"What did she reply to?"
"She said she knew what she was doing."
Chen Siqi: "Zhen Hongyu actually received quite a lot of attention in "The Birth of an Actor", but because she has never been popular before and has always been very well-known and popular, it seems that she did not benefit very much from the show. But her contract has never been broken, right? The fact that she and Zhang Lan chose this drama shows that the script and the role are attractive and worthy of acting. These fans have not even seen the script. Just doing these things is too much.”
"There is no way. The current public opinion environment is too serious about the moral judgment of content and characters. I can also understand the boycott of those fans. However, understanding is one thing, but if an actor wants to perform a good role, then the role itself He must not be a perfect person morally. Except for those fans of idol dramas, no audience really likes a moral saint."
Chen Siqi: "The truth is like this, but it's useless. Many people won't listen."
The two people walked out of the airport and came outside.
A hot wind has swept through.
"It's a little hot." Chen Siqi said.
"Well, the temperature has been a bit high these two days, but it will cool down soon." Helan said.
The two people stood on the roadside, waiting for the driver to drive over.
"Siqi?" A surprised voice sounded.
Chen Siqi and Helan turned to look at the same time.
None of them seemed to have expected that they would meet an acquaintance here - to be precise, two people, who looked like a mother and daughter.
The woman who looked like her mother was wearing an elegant suit, exactly like a rich lady.
The girl who looked like her daughter was also dressed in an exquisite rich girl's dress, but she looked at Chen Siqi with a not very friendly look.
Helan didn't know them.
"Aunt Du, Li Lin." Chen Siqi looked at the two of them with some surprise.
These two people really haven't seen each other for several years.
Du Fang, Liu Wei'an's good friend.
Li Lin is also a student of No. 13 Middle School, but she has always been at odds with Chen Siqi.
Back then, at Chen Siqi's birthday party, the two of them had ridiculed Chen Siqi in front of everyone, and that was the scene where Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang helped Chen Siqi out and supported him.
"Oh, it's been a long time since I last saw you. You're such a beautiful girl, and you're so good at work." Du Fang's eyes were full of sincere admiration, and she couldn't help but hold Chen Siqi's hand.
Chen Siqi took a step back without giving her a chance.
"Aunt Du, what can you do?"
This step allowed Helan to understand the relationship between them.
Well, the relationship is not very good.
At least Chen Siqi disliked the two people in front of him.
"Mom, what are you doing with your warm face against her cold ass? She is now the president of Jump Up Group, how can she still care about old acquaintances like us." Li Lin glanced at Chen Siqi with disgust on her face.
Some people looked around curiously.
Du Fang immediately glared at her daughter.
"How did you talk?"
Seeing their car approaching, He Lan smiled slightly, changed her attitude of being close to Chen Siqi, and became very "secretary". She said respectfully and considerately: "Mr. Chen, our car is here, time is tight." , we have to get in the car."
Chen Siqi nodded and smiled faintly at Du Fang and Li Lin, "Then I'll leave first."
"Siqi, let's go out and have a cup of afternoon tea together when we have time later." Du Fang said immediately.
"Mom!" Li Lin grabbed her mother's sleeve dissatisfied.
Chen Siqi turned around as if he didn't hear anything.
Helan had already stepped forward to help Chen Siqi open the rear door.
The driver got out of the car and came to pick up the luggage.
Chen Siqi Shi Shiran got into the car.
Helan closed the car door, took two steps toward the passenger seat, and glanced at the two of them specifically. Of course, there was no emotion mixed in, just showing a secretary's attitude-for the two people her boss knew, she left Next impression.
After the car drove away, Du Fang glared at Li Lin.
"Can you understand something?!"
Li Lin said dissatisfiedly: "Does it mean that if you touch her cold ass so enthusiastically, she will look good on you?"
"At least she can help your dad!" Du Fang said angrily, "If you hadn't had such a tense relationship with her back then and you were friends with her, it wouldn't be difficult to talk to her now!"
Li Lin asked angrily: "You obviously have a good relationship with Liu Wei'an, so you asked me to have less contact with her and not be friends with her since I was a child. Now you are turning around to blame me?!"
Du Fang was speechless for a moment.
Li Lin: "Don't expect Chen Siqi to come to help us. You have sought out Liu Wei'an so many times. Have you seen her seek out Chen Siqi once? She knows that Chen Siqi will never forgive her."
"Chen Siqi will never forgive her. That is normal, but we have no principled hatred with her. Why won't she forgive us? Doesn't she need someone to help her in our circle to support her feud with Liu Wei'an? ?" Du Fang glared at Li Lin with disgust, "Don't just grow fat without growing brains! You are twenty-three years old, it's time to learn something."
Li Lin was so angry that she screamed in public.
Everyone around looked over.
-
Helan noticed that Chen Siqi seemed to be in a low mood after getting in the car and didn't speak for a long time.
Thinking about it, it probably has something to do with the two people I met just now.
Although Helan didn't know what was going on with the two of them, she knew that the relationship between Chen Siqi and her family was very bad.
She has been Chen Siqi's secretary for some time.
Chen Siqi would go back to her grandparents' house to visit the elderly from time to time, but she never went back to her parents' house once.
Of course, Helan also knew why Chen Siqi didn't go back.
In the past, Liu Wei'an actually came to the company to see Chen Siqi twice.
Chen Siqi didn't even see her.
Later, someone from the company told her that she was Chen Siqi's stepmother.
After being with Chen Siqi for a long time, Helan gradually realized that the reason why Chen Siqi was unwilling to mention her family and never went back to see her father must have something to do with the past.
The two people just now were obviously two people from the past.
-
Chen Siqi actually often thinks about one thing. If she hadn't started the magazine "Jump Up" with Lu Yanhe on a whim after graduating from the college entrance examination, what would her life have been like?
Sometimes, life is really just a choice that no one expected, and it changes drastically.
In fact, there was no fierce quarrel between her and her family, nor was there any expected break. They just gradually and tacitly separated.
Chen Siqi sometimes really feels a little ironic.
Nothing else but the irony of all the possible quarrels he had thought about.
In fact, to her father, she is really just a burden.
She left, and he really didn't even think about coming to find her.
When she was a child, she also thought that when she grew up and one day had the ability to be self-reliant, she would never swallow a word to Liu Wei'an again. By then, her father would definitely be angry. She thought clearly that if When that time comes, she will definitely force her father to make a choice, do you choose her or me.
As a result, there was no need to go to that step at all.
Human growth is what you thought you would do and face when you grow up. In fact, it often does not appear in your future life.
Chen Siqi took a deep breath to get rid of the negative emotions that were rising in her heart because of seeing Du Fang and Li Lin.
Okay, that's it.
-
Chen Siqi didn't even have time to go back to Ziyuanqiao. She had to go to the company to deal with the backlog of things that had accumulated over the past few days.
The company is in a period of rapid expansion, and there are too many things that require her to make decisions.
After arriving at the company, Chen Siqi worked until eight o'clock in the evening. She didn't know when it got dark before she read through all the plans and reports on her desk and gave her opinions on how to deal with them.
She turned her neck and made a clicking sound.
She had to stand up and move her limbs in the office.
At this time, Helan knocked on the door and came in.
"Siqi, Yan He is here."
Chen Siqi looked surprised.
Lu Yanhe walked in carrying two lunch boxes and smiled at her.
"I heard that you only ate a box of dumplings at night?"
"Isn't eating a box of dumplings enough?" Chen Siqi asked in surprise.
Lu Yanhe: "Not nutritious enough. This is the squab soup I packed from the restaurant, and some cold dishes, the one you like to eat."
Chen Siqi was pleasantly surprised, "Didn't you have dinner with Tom White tonight?"
"Well, I came over after eating. This soup was made in the restaurant where we had dinner." Lu Yanhe said, "On the way here, I happened to pass by your favorite cold dish restaurant, so I went to buy a portion."
Chen Siqi smiled and nodded, "Okay, will you go back tonight? Or will you sleep here?"
There is a Chen Siqi lounge here.
Chen Siqi rested here many nights.
Lu Yanhe said: "I don't have work tomorrow morning. Let's sleep here tonight. I will have lunch with you tomorrow and then go back."
"Okay." Chen Siqi nodded.
"Have you finished your work today?"
"I just finished it," Chen Siqi said. "After sitting for five or six hours, I was ready to change clothes and go for a run, but you came to tempt me again with midnight snacks."
"Stop running, let's go for a walk after eating." Lu Yanhe said, "Just stretch your muscles and bones."
"Yeah." Chen Siqi nodded.
She suddenly remembered something and said to Helan: "Lanlan, you can get off work. I have finished all the work here and there is nothing else."
He Lan said: "I can't get off work yet. Siqi, please give me the documents you have processed first. Several departments are waiting for your opinions. Time is very urgent."
"Are they all still working overtime?"
"All the troops have left, but there are a few jobs that I am waiting for your opinion on tonight." Helan said, "I will handle it. You can take a rest first."
After hearing this, Chen Siqi thought for a while and said, "Then it would be better for me to explain it to them in person."
She told Lu Yanhe, "Wait for me for ten minutes."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Lu Yanhe carried two lunch boxes and said, "Then I will wait for you here? Or where can I eat?"
Chen Siqi's office only has a small coffee table for guests.
Chen Siqi said: "Just wait for me here."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Helan hugged the documents that Chen Siqi had just processed and went out with Chen Siqi.
Lu Yanhe took out the lunch box, put it on the coffee table, and sat down on the sofa.
When Chen Siqi came back, he found that Lu Yanhe had fallen asleep leaning on the sofa.
Chen Siqi smiled and relaxed his hands and feet.
She walked over quietly, sat on the floor in front of the coffee table, and took a close look at Lu Yanhe's face after he fell asleep.
Chen Siqi was already very familiar with this face.
She was familiar with the feeling of touching every place with her hands.
Two people have been together for such a long time, and there are not many flaming and desperate moments. It seems different from the love in novels, movies and TV dramas that is so passionate that it seems to burn up the whole world.
However, in more subtle ways, both she and he expressed their love with an incredible tolerance and consideration.
Chen Siqi herself couldn't believe it. In the past few years, she had never had any doubts about Lu Yanhe or whether he might have betrayed her.
And she was also very sure that Lu Yanhe's love for her was no less than her love for him.
Why?
Is it because of their special growth experiences?
Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe's face and looked at it quietly for a long time.
Until Lu Yanhe suddenly woke up.
He opened his sleepy eyes.
Chen Siqi smiled.
"Am I asleep?" Lu Yanhe also laughed.
Chen Siqi nodded and said, "You fell asleep. Are you tired?"
"A little bit, but I'm actually not that tired. I didn't even sleep on the way here. Maybe it's because your sofa is too comfortable. Sitting on it makes me sleepy."
Chen Siqi: "Is this sofa so comfortable? Then I'll ask them to install one in your RV. It's not that big anyway."
Lu Yanhe smiled, "I think it will work."
He saw the unopened lunch box on the coffee table.
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"I just came in." Chen Siqi said, "You haven't slept for more than ten minutes, I guess."
Lu Yanhe opened the lid of the lunch box, and the aroma instantly swept over him.
Chen Siqi took a breath of satisfaction, "It smells so good."
Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Siqi sitting directly on the floor and asked, "Aren't you cold sitting on the floor?"
"The floor isn't cold."
Lu Yanhe also sat down on the floor with his legs crossed.
"Have you met Director An Jian?"
"I saw it." Chen Siqi nodded, "He doesn't admit that the anonymous letter has anything to do with him."
Lu Yanhe: "You directly had a showdown with him?"
"No, I just raised the possibility that Xin Pingqing directed and acted in this incident. He mentioned himself and asked me if I had doubted him too." Chen Siqi smiled, "I asked Xin Pingqing why his father committed suicide. He said, Xin Pingqing's father has always suffered from depression. Later, Xin Pingqing's father had an accident, and he had no contact with Xin Pingqing's family for a long time. It was only during this filming that someone told him that Xin Pingqing was Xin Siyang's son. "
Lu Yanhe showed doubts.
"Why does it sound like you're trying to hide something?"
"I feel the same way." Chen Siqi said, "I asked him how he planned to solve this matter. If this matter is not solved, and he continues to direct new films in the future, maybe this person will continue to send anonymous letters." He said He doesn’t plan to be a director until this matter is resolved.”
Lu Yanhe looked surprised.
"ah?"
"It's unbelievable." Chen Siqi shook his head, "To be honest, I'm a little confused as to whether An Jian directed or acted behind this incident. I don't know why he did this, and I also feel that... he won't be a director in the future. To be honest, the price is too high. I originally thought that he might not be able to direct the play "Silent Stairs" because of something."
Lu Yanhe: "Forget it, if we don't know what's going on for now, just leave it alone. Before this matter is resolved, we just don't want to cooperate with An Jian anymore."
Chen Siqi nodded.
"Um."
Chen Siqi laughed again: "Being able to discover Chen Yu is a blessing in disguise. I have sent him two more scripts to see if we can continue to cooperate in the future."
