Choose a day to become famous

Li Zhibai sneezed loudly.

He was filming on the set of "Moonlight Symphony" in the bright sun when he suddenly sneezed, startling the actress standing opposite him.

The latter immediately took a step back.

"Sorry, sorry." Li Zhibai said immediately.

Actress Cheng Siran maintained a forced smile on her face and reluctantly said it was okay.

She took a tissue from her assistant and wiped her face silently.

The makeup artist saw this and hurriedly came forward to touch up the makeup.

Director Li Daoxing asked with a smile: "Zhi Bai, spring has just arrived and it's still cold. Please pay attention to your health. Why do you start sneezing?"

Li Zhibai said: "I don't know, maybe there was an insect in my nose just now and it was a little itchy?"

He was just kidding.

However, this scene obviously reminded the heroine Cheng Siran of some scenes, and she showed a disgusted expression.

"Moonlight Symphony" is a fantasy romance drama with only sixteen episodes.

Director Li Daoxing is a veteran in filming urban love-themed TV series and has many masterpieces.

However, previous dramas usually started with thirty or forty episodes, and this was the first time for him to shoot a sixteen-episode high-quality drama series with the same quality as movies.

Because it stars Li Zhibai, all parties are very optimistic about this drama. Many actors who want to make themselves famous have taken the initiative to reduce their pay and are willing to play supporting roles in this drama.

The current market situation has indeed changed a lot.

Li Daoxing lamented to his friends in private that in the past, there were not many actors who were willing to cut their pay just to join a movie starring a big star. At that time, the gameplay of TV series was different from now. In the past, it was the directors who carried the drama, but now it is slowly becoming the actors who carry the drama.

This is a change in market trends. Only Luo Yuzhong and other veteran directors who have made their names known in this industry have the label of "carrying dramas", and now there are new directors, such as the director of "The Seventeenth Floor" Lian Bei , obviously the first drama and the second one "Seventeen Floors" were big hits, and logically he should have been among the famous directors. However, in everyone's mind, he is still not the one who can shoulder a drama. key people.

In short, if he wanted to make a drama with unknown actors, almost no platform would be willing to invest or buy it. Of course, the actors still recognize him, and there will definitely be no shortage of A-list actors to star in his projects.

I'm just talking about this ecological issue.

But if a drama has a terrible director and a terrible script, but if there is an actor of Lu Yanhe's level starring in it, then unfortunately, the platform will even directly assign the drama an S-level.

This is an unhealthy film and television ecological environment, but it exists objectively.

As a popular idol, Li Zhibai has been popular for so many years. After turning to the actor track, he produced several masterpieces and successfully became an actor who can carry dramas in the eyes of the capital. Then he appeared in "Moonlight Symphony" In this drama, becoming the male protagonist of Ichiban means that the drama must revolve around him.

As a senior director like Li Daoxing, he did not find this situation difficult to accept. Mainly because Li Zhibai, apart from paying attention to his own role, does not interfere in anything else and will not make any mess. For a director, it is enough for a big-name star to do this.

In fact, because of Li Zhibai's character, Li Daoxing had a pretty good relationship with him.

In comparison, the heroine Cheng Siran arranged by the investors is a little more troublesome. But it's not a big deal, she's just a little pretentious, the princess is a little sick, but other than that, there's no big problem.

However, when filming this drama, Li Zhibai often couldn't stand the numbness and nausea after finishing a line, couldn't control his expression, and collapsed directly.

"Sorry, sorry, give me a moment." Li Zhibai often raised his right hand to apologize to everyone, "This line really killed me."

He would also look at Cheng Siran sincerely and ask, "Do you girls like men talking to you like this?"

Cheng Siran: "... Under certain circumstances, if he talks like this normally, I would want to punch him."

Li Zhibai looked at the sentence "If you really want to leave me one day, don't tell me, otherwise, I won't let you go" in the script with a twisted face, and sighed, "I can understand that you girls like This kind of affectionate, domineering and inexplicable toughness, but if I were this man, what do you mean you don’t need to tell me? Damn it, otherwise I wouldn’t let you go. Do you like it or not? Why do you talk so much nonsense? I can’t even let go.”

Cheng Siran listened to Li Zhibai's complaints and couldn't laugh or cry, and showed an expression that was hard to explain.

"This is a pure love story, please be serious." Cheng Siran complained, "You always make a show, which makes me unable to join the show."

Li Zhibai sighed and continued to force himself into the state as if accepting his fate.

"come on."

Zhou Ping'an must have deliberately made him uncomfortable when he took on this drama!

-

Zhou Ping'an handed the script to Ma Zhiyuan.

Ma Zhiyuan refused to answer.

"I don't want to play a supporting role." Ma Zhiyuan said with a straight face, "If you ask me to act, forget it, and ask me to play a supporting role. When will I have to be reduced to playing a supporting role for Liu Zefan? His popularity is not as high as mine. Woolen cloth."

"His popularity is not as high as yours, that's because you are an idol, his fans are not as keen as your fans to vote for you and collect data." Zhou Pingan glared at him, "His "Eternal" is the most popular fairy drama in the past five years. His base is much larger than yours. This time he also PKed several other first-line male actors and got the role in "Squid Game". You are the most suitable choice for him to play a supporting role."

Ma Zhiyuan said: "I don't believe there are no dramas with male protagonists to play."

"Yes, but they are all some rubbish dramas. If you want to play S+ level dramas, you can only play supporting roles." Zhou Pingan said bluntly, "Are you willing?"

Ma Zhiyuan pursed his lips.

Zhou Pingan also curled his lips.

"Don't expect to become fat all at once."

Ma Zhiyuan said: "Li Zhibai has already started to play the leading role. His new drama is the first one, right?"

Zhou Pingan: "Don't forget that Li Zhibai's first drama was also a supporting role."

Ma Zhiyuan frowned.

Zhou Pingan: "You should believe in the play I choose for you."

Ma Zhiyuan: "I am not a newcomer. I have made it to this point today. If you ask me to play a supporting role, I can't convince myself."

He was very stubborn and refused to play this supporting role.

Zhou Pingan was furious.

"I believe in your vision in choosing plays for me, but I only play the leading role." Ma Zhiyuan said firmly.

-

"The second male lead in "Mountain Top"?" Yan Liang was a little surprised and asked, "Is this role suitable for me?"

"Suitable." Zhou Pingan said on the phone, "After the filming of "Gold Rush", you will have a two-month break and can join the crew directly."

Yan Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, since Brother Pingan thinks it suits me, then I will play it."

"Yeah." Zhou Pingan smiled slightly, "Believe me, although this role is the second male lead, it is not inferior to the male lead in terms of brilliance, and you are the lead actor, it will definitely be a hit."

"I'm just a little surprised that there is an online drama about fraud. I have never seen it before."

"Now more and more themes are emerging." Zhou Pingan said, "It's a good phenomenon, and the quality of the scripts is getting higher and higher. You can see that many of the scripts that are found now are small-scale dramas with only about ten episodes. Compared with the past, it is much easier and the efficiency of filming is much higher."

Yan Liang hummed.

"How is the filming of "Gold Rush"?"

This drama was filmed in Southeast Asia, not in China. Yan Liang was filming in a mountain with the crew, and it was not easy to contact him.

"The conditions were very difficult. I was always bitten by insects, and some rashes would grow on my body for no reason." Yan Liang said.

Zhou Pingan asked, "Did you ask the doctor to prescribe medicine for you? You can't be careless about this matter. No one knows what kind of poisonous insects they are."

Yan Liang said, "I have seen it. The crew has a doctor accompanying them. The problem should not be serious."

"You have always been able to endure hardships."

"Filming this kind of treasure hunting drama, there are such scenes of going deep into the mountains and old forests. I have made mental preparations." Yan Liang said.

Zhou Pingan: "The theme of "Gold Rush" is really good. It is very rare in China. When it is broadcast, it should attract a lot of attention."

"Yeah." Yan Liang agreed.

Zhou Pingan hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

The role of the second male lead in "Mountain Peak" is really good. Ma Zhiyuan refused to play it, and Zhou Pingan didn't want to waste it, so he gave it to Yan Liang again.

In fact, since Yan Liang became famous with "Friends", many dramas have come to him. However, he rarely plays the leading role. In the better dramas, he usually plays the supporting role. It's not that Zhou Ping'an is unwilling to let Yan Liang take the supporting role, but Yan Liang's image is not suitable for mainstream dramas.

His acting talent is not that high, and he does not have the "star halo" of Li Zhibai and Ma Zhiyuan. He can act well, but not outstanding. Therefore, when Zhou Ping'an lets Yan Liang take the role, he tends to want the one with more complex characters and more tense plot lines, and use the color of the script and characters to give Yan Liang greater appeal.

"Gold Rush" and "Mountain Peak" are both dramas of this type.

The former has a special theme and the story itself is attractive. Any character that appears in this story will be endowed with charm by this legendary story.

The latter is purely an excellent character setting, just like the neurotic rich second generation played by Li Zhibai in "Accompany You to the End of the World".

Yan Liang's advantage in acting is that he has all the basic skills, and no matter what role he plays, it won't make people feel that he is too bad or out of place. Therefore, Zhou Pingan dares to let him take on roles with more extreme personalities.

-

Yan Liang and Li Zhibai are not in Yuming, so Lu Yanhe has fewer visits to Ziyuan Bridge.

He is not in the crew now, and his public schedule is not much, so he doesn't have to leave early and return late.

This week, Lu Yanhe only has one public schedule, to attend the Red River Awards.

Being nominated for "Seventeenth Floor" is a surprise, and there is no chance of winning the award, so Lu Yanhe is very relaxed.

This year's Red River Awards, the best actor was the powerful actor Wen Ding, and the best actress was Lu Sui.

Lu Sui was so excited that she burst into tears on the stage.

Lu Yanhe remembered that almost two years ago, it was also the Red River Awards, Xu Yiren won the best actress, and Lu Sui was also nominated that year. She was defeated and her face was so ugly that she didn't have time to hide it. She was caught by the camera and everyone saw it.

Now it can be said that he has got what he wanted.

Lu Yanhe attended the award ceremony with a relaxed attitude and returned to school.

There are not as many classes this semester as the previous semester. He doesn’t have to be so anxious and nervous every day to catch up on classes, homework, and papers.

Writing a thesis is actually a physical job, because you need to check a lot of literature and information. Although Zhenhua does not require them to publish papers, the requirements for papers are strictly in accordance with the publication requirements.

Assignments for many university courses are usually written and handed in. The teachers will give a score, file it, and then use it as part of the usual grade when calculating the overall grade of the course. But in Zhenhua, it's not as simple as handing it in and having the teacher give you a grade.

After reading your homework, many teachers in Zhenhua will most likely send you an email and make an appointment with you to come to their office to communicate and discuss. They may even ask you to rewrite and revise it.

Lu Yanhe often receives such emails.

Teachers did not lower their expectations of him just because of his star status.

As soon as he returned to school this time, he found that he had received an email from Professor Zhao Dezhong in his mailbox.

Ever since he was caught by Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi because he fainted at home and was sent to the hospital, Professor Zhao Dezhong has been recuperating and asked for leave from the college. He has not been assigned any classes this semester.

Lu Yanhe visited Professor Zhao several times later, especially after he agreed to write a column for a separate volume of "Jump Up". Chen Siqi also visited him frequently.

Lu Yanhe was still confused as to why Professor Zhao Dezhong suddenly sent him an email and there were no classes for him this semester.

When he opened the email, Lu Yanhe was surprised to find that it was him who had sent him a book list.

Lu Yanhe was stunned when Zhao Dezhong suddenly gave him a book list.

ha?

Zhao Dezhong said: Last time you told me that you didn’t want to go to graduate school because of your practical work considerations, and that you didn’t want to take the academic path, but you just like reading. This is a book I prescribe for you. Shan, you can read it when you have time. They are all introductory books to our ancient literary works. Maybe you will be interested.

Lu Yanhe was flattered and replied "Thank you".

Lu Yanhe didn't understand why Zhao Dezhong would do this.

However, since the book list was carefully written for him, Lu Yanhe thought about it and immediately ordered all the books on the list online.

He thought for a while, then opened the "Xueyou" APP, logged into his account, and posted a new update:

The school teacher gave me a book list, which included eight books. They were not course assignments, but just out of interest. After thinking about it, I often saw people saying that they couldn’t read books, and they often read them all on their mobile phones. It felt like a waste of time. Although I I don’t quite agree with this statement. After all, I always feel that people should live in a way that makes them happy, even if it is a way to waste their time in the eyes of others. But if you are interested, you can participate in my sudden reading plan. Let's read these eight books together, share reading progress, share excerpts, and share reading experiences. It’s just reading, you don’t need to finish the book, just find what you like and read it.

At the back, there is a reading list given to him by Professor Zhao Dezhong.

-

As the spokesperson of "Xueyou" APP, Lu Yanhe has recommended some books he has read and movies and TV series he has watched on this APP from time to time in the past three years.

This is mainly an APP that focuses on the concept of "learning online community". It is mainly used by students, and younger white-collar workers are also a small number of customers.

But initiating reading plans on the APP like this is still very rare, because Lu Yanhe is not the kind of person who likes to bring others to study together——

Not everyone likes reading. For some people, it is a pleasure, but for others it is just like chewing wax. Except for must-read books and necessary knowledge, there is no need to force one to love reading.

But now something good happened in Lu Yanhe's mind. Reading is a good thing after all. If it is a good thing, then no matter what method it is, it is also a good thing to be able to read more books in the end. Anyway, we didn’t lock people in a small dark room to read, and force them to read with their hands and feet tied. I really couldn’t read it, and no one really tried to force it.

-

Lu Yanhe released this reading plan, which made the person in charge of the "Xueyou" APP stunned.

Lu Yanhe did not greet them in advance for this event, nor was it an event planned by them. Such an event suddenly appeared, and many users only saw it after they signed up to participate.

"The top student Lu Yanhe is back again."

"He started this reading program, how many people do you think will join?"

"It would be great to have tens of thousands of people sign up. Of course, the number of people who can actually read these eight books with him in the end is probably only one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand."

"Why did Lu Yanhe come up with such a reading plan out of the blue?"

"It may also be related to their follow-up actions of "Jump Up". I saw "Jump Up" sent a message saying that they will include a special volume in the next six issues and invited authorities in various fields in the country. Scholars write columns.”

"What kind of special volume is this?"

“I don’t know anything else, but the name of the separate volume is ‘China in Culture’, and one of the people who opened a column in the separate volume is Professor Zhao Dezhong of Zhenhua University.”

-

China in culture?

Lu Yanhe was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Siqi's name in this special volume would achieve such great success.

But Chen Siqi said: "To be a headline-maker, we need to make this special volume known and heard by everyone, so the name must be louder. The same is true for our special volume, literature, philosophy, history, economics, and law …Why is it not China in culture? It’s all about our own culture.”

Lu Yanhe clicked his tongue and said, "Bull."

Chen Siqi: "On the contrary, you suddenly started some reading activities on Xueyou APP, which made others think you were building momentum for our special book."

"It's purely a coincidence." Lu Yanhe smiled.

Chen Siqi: "Coincidence or not, people have already said that anyway. It doesn't matter. It has indeed created momentum for us. You are the editor-in-chief of "Jump Up" anyway, so it is normal to create momentum."

Lu Yanhe raised the corners of his mouth.

"Siqi, I actually have another idea about your special book."

"What do you think?" Chen Siqi asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "For this special volume, we invited six experts and scholars to write six columns on six topics. This is in the form of text. Have you ever considered making it a video?"

"video?"

"Actually, it's a program, a cultural program." Lu Yanhe said, "Each issue's manuscript is about three to four thousand words. If they appear on the camera to speak, it will be about twenty minutes, neither long nor short. As you said before, it is also convenient for office workers to read an issue on the subway.”

"The special volume is called "China in Culture", which is a big name, but if it is made into a whole series, each teacher will record six issues on a theme, from astronomy and geography to literature, history and economics." Lu Yanhe said, " Producing these contents in various forms such as text, audio, video, etc. can catch all the potential people who are interested in these contents as soon as possible.”

Chen Siqi took a deep breath.

"It's really amazing."

"What's so awesome?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Chen Siqi said: "Sister Zi Xing just made this phone call to me an hour ago. What she said to you is almost exactly the same. She also said that this column can be made into a video program simultaneously."

Lu Yanhe showed surprise.

He didn't expect that Xin Zixing would think of this first.

Lu Yanhe only thought of this after experiencing a series of cultural programs from "Lectures of Hundreds of Schools" to Pay for Knowledge.

However, Xin Zixing relied on her own acumen to bring it up earlier than Lu Yanhe.

-

"You mean, Lu Yanhe wants to make a cultural program?"

Zheng Huairen looked at Jiang Zixin with some surprise.

Jiang Zixin nodded and said, "To be precise, Chen Siqi and Xin Zixin did it together, but it just so happened that Lu Yanhe also came up with the same idea."

"Just use the column content in the separate volume of their "Jump Up"?"

"Yes." Jiang Zixin nodded again, "Ask us if we are interested."

Zheng Huairen asked: "What do you think of their idea for this program?"

Jiang Zixin took a deep breath and said: "To be honest, I can't judge. If we just look at the content and form of this program, I think inviting some experts and scholars to come and talk about things in their professional knowledge fields will not be enough for the audience." There will be a lot. After all, CCTV has produced many programs like this, which talk about popular science and humanities and history, but not many people watch them. However, their format seems to be different this time. From what they mentioned to me. When I looked at some of the topics, I really wanted to see what they were talking about.”

Zheng Huairen: "What topic?"

"For example, Professor Zhao Dezhong of Zhenhua University, the topic he is going to do is 'Revealing the past and present lives of the five masters and apprentices in "Journey to the West"'. It is especially like the deliberately gimmick titles created by marketing accounts. China Most people know the story "Journey to the West", and they will be more or less interested when they see the title." Jiang Zixin said.

"Yes, it's true." Zheng Huairen nodded.

Jiang Zixin saw that Zheng Huairen's attitude was relatively positive, so he continued: "Moreover, this program, like "Confessions from the High Platform", has a relatively low production cost."

Zheng Huairen nodded, "Let's make an appointment for everyone to sit together and discuss it."

-

"Each expert and scholar chooses a topic, prepares five to eight issues according to a twenty-minute issue, and takes one to two days to record it."

Not long ago, Xin Zixing sat in the conference room and introduced her thoughts on the program to everyone.

"The filming team can be left to us, or it can be left to your own team of Northern Lights Video, but our team will be responsible for the program recording site and the audience." Xin Zixing said, "We will work with Zhenhua The University Youth Association worked together to create a lecture situation, inviting students from various universities to create an academic lecture atmosphere, but the atmosphere is definitely more relaxed than a real academic lecture.”

"The requirements and difficulty of other aspects of our program are not high, and a basic shooting team is enough to shoot it." Xin Zixing said, "At the same time, the separate volume of "Jump Up" will also be synchronized with the program. publicity."

Zheng Huairen said: "It is difficult for such a program to attract everyone's attention without the participation of celebrity artists."

Lu Yanhe said: "It's not that this program is difficult to attract everyone's attention, but our program production industry doesn't quite know how to promote this type of program."

Chen Siqi smiled slightly at Zheng Huairen: "Mr. Zheng, for publicity and sales, our team is professional now."

Zheng Huairen really couldn't refute it.

After all, the people in front of him are people who have made adults many times what others think is impossible.

"We can have two ways of cooperation. The first way is that we will produce all the programs ourselves, and you will be responsible for buying the copyright and broadcasting them exclusively on your platform. The second way is that we will do it together and develop it together." Xin Zixing said , "Actually, if our team is not too small and we don't have enough manpower, it is completely possible for us to do this kind of program ourselves. Yan He said, he has cooperated with you, so because of the actual lack of manpower, we first came to If you are not optimistic about the prospects of this show, it doesn’t matter. Let’s talk to other platforms.”

Zheng Huairen immediately made a "stop it" gesture.

Are you kidding? To say that the production cost of this program is very high and the risks are high, he still hesitated. For a program with such a low production cost like this, even if it is a risk, how could he be willing to let Lu Yanhe go with other people? Platform chat.

"I'm just thinking about what kind of effect this program can achieve." Zheng Huairen smiled.

Lu Yanhe looked at Zheng Huairen and said, "It may be the result of a big hit, Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Huairen looked at Lu Yanhe in confusion and did not know for a moment whether Lu Yanhe was joking or whether he really felt that way.

Lu Yanhe doesn't know whether this show can become a hit, but Lu Yanhe knows that there is definitely an audience market for this show.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe thought that he should do it well. Try it first. Be it Xin Zixing or Chen Siqi, they are both very capable people to get things done.

-

"If we want to record the program simultaneously, then the serialization method of our separate volumes will have to be changed."

After chatting with the people from Northern Lights Video, Chen Siqi said: "Before, we thought that six teachers would open six columns at the same time, and publish one in each issue. But now, our program cannot be updated to the third one." For one issue, just wait a month before updating the second issue. I have to discuss with the editorial team what to do with the content of this special volume.”

"Actually, you can follow your original plan." Xin Zixing said, "This program will definitely take some time from recording to post-production and then to online, including submission for review, advertising and investment, etc. It hasn’t been done yet. There’s no need to rush it, the show will be done more leisurely and the quality will be higher.”

"Really?" Chen Siqi heard this, "I thought you would be able to produce this show next month or the month after that."

Xin Zixing: "Of course we can do it quickly, but the teachers probably haven't finished the script yet. Even if we want to hurry up, we still have to wait for the script before we can shoot."

Lu Yanhe said: "Yes."

Xin Zixing said: "In addition, the news that Sister Ziyan's company is preparing to customize programs for outdated artists has spread, and many people are asking about these things."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Let's see what kind of clients come to sign with us first, and then we'll discuss what kind of programs we will do."

"Yeah." Xin Zixing looked at Lu Yanhe jealously.

"What are you doing? Sister Zi Xing, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just want to know why you have so many ideas in your head." Xin Zixing said, "And every idea is so interesting."

"Actually, it's not bad." Lu Yanhe said, "Didn't you also think of the program "China in Culture"?"

"I think you can make the best use of everything. The experts you found are all well-known people in the industry, and they write the column in the same way as a magazine. This must mean that the content of this column is mostly ordinary. "Everyone can understand it and it's interesting to watch. If it has such good content and is made into a cultural program, wouldn't it be able to attract more people to watch it?" Xin Zixing said.

Her tone was full of matter-of-factness, as if she could think of these things and it was no big deal.

Lu Yanhe smiled.

True geniuses don't seem to realize they are geniuses.

But in the field of program production, nothing is more important than a keen heart.

Creativity is the most valuable. This creativity does not mean that you have to create something that no one has created before. If you have a pair of eyes that can keenly discover that there is a market demand and there is no corresponding product on the market, then you can still create a creative program. .

It is placed on university campuses and is a commonplace lecture. When it appeared on the TV screen, it became "Lecture Forum" and became the first cultural program to take advantage of others.

A meaning.

-

"What? "China in Culture"?"

After Xu Bin heard about Lu Yanhe's recent actions from Hu Siwei, he showed a puzzled expression, "Why is he starting to do programs again? Is he going to become a producer?"

Hu Siwei smiled and said: "Actually, he has already produced several programs, such as "City Travel" on Yemai.com. Although he is not a producer in name, if this program can be produced, just like him It has nothing to do with it. Last summer, wasn't there a popular show called "Confessions from a High Platform"? Later, Northern Lights Video also made a program about it and it has been broadcasting it all the time. "

Xu Bin said: "These are all very ordinary programs, right? They are not very popular."

"It is indeed incomparable with those S+ level popular variety shows, but their profitability is even higher than many popular variety shows." Hu Siwei said, "Moreover, this time's "China in Culture" has this theme. It is very suitable for the positioning of our Beijing TV station. Didn’t you invite us to a meeting some time ago to create a program centered on improving cultural influence? "

Xu Bin said: "I just heard you say that their program actually just invited a few university teachers to the studio to give lectures. There is nothing new. And how many viewers would like to listen to this kind of content? Lu Yanhe himself I am a college student and I think everyone likes to listen to this kind of thing. If you go to the street and see, how many people are still reading? "

Hu Si Siwei didn't know what to say when he heard Xu Bin's words.

He hesitated and said, "Taiwan Xu, I think this program must have an audience and it can fulfill the station's mission. If we can buy it and broadcast it on the TV station, it may have unexpected effects."

"Moreover, it can also ease our relationship with Lu Yanhe."

"How can we ease it? He has already gotten together with Jiang Lan, and he refuses to come back and continue acting in "Party of Six"."

"But we can cooperate with him on new projects." Hu Siwei said.

Xu Bin frowned, thought for a while, and waved his hand.

"What's the cooperation? I've said nice things to him and apologized to him a few times before, but he didn't take any notice of me. Do we have to be with him? Without him in this entertainment industry, everyone else would be dead, right?" Xu Bin said , "This man has such a bad temper, who knows if he will cause any trouble later."

Hu Siwei's heart felt as cold as if it had been blown by the winter wind.

A hot stove was put out.

He didn't expect that Xu Bin didn't want to cooperate with Lu Yanhe anymore.

Xu Bin suddenly remembered something, "He brought that Tom White here before, and asked you to have a meal with Tom White. Did he tell you something again? He wants to return to "Six"?"

"No, he said in front of the media that he would never come back. How could he come back?" Hu Siwei sighed inwardly.

Xu Bin: "He and Northern Lights poached Bai Jingnian, and I haven't settled the accounts with him yet. Don't get involved in anything else in the future, or let me take the blame again."

Hu Siwei was silent.

He was silent because he felt uncomfortable. When Lu Yanhe and he were working on the project "Seventeen Floors", he was the one who invited Lu Yanhe to "Six". This drama could obviously become a good story about their "discerning eyes" in their acting careers. Now, Instead, it has become an existence that cannot be mentioned and needs to be avoided.

Hu Siwei hopes from the bottom of his heart that he and Lu Yanhe can get back on good terms with each other. Even if they can no longer work together on "Six People", they can still work together on other projects.

However, things went counterproductive.

It seems that not everyone has the same idea as him.

-

That night, at 8:30, Hu Siwei drove out from Beijing and Taiwan, avoiding the evening rush hour, and arrived at the "White Sail Bistro" without any traffic.

Bai Jingnian was already waiting for him in the cubicle.

"Oh, you're finally here." Bai Jingnian stood up, hugged each other, and patted his shoulders, "Why are you getting off work so late today? The show has already finished."

"I was communicating with the screenwriter about the script, and the meeting didn't end until eight-twenty." Hu Siwei sighed, "You ran away, so you didn't leave this mess to me."

Bai Jingnian smiled and waved his hands.

"Looking at it now, it was right to choose to leave at the beginning." He shook his head in disinterest, "I can only say two words about the Red River Award, which is heartbreaking."

Hu Siwei remained silent because he really didn't know what to say.

Regarding Bai Jingnian's departure and the Red River Award, as Xu Bin's direct subordinate and Bai Jingnian's long-time friend, he was caught in the middle, which was actually very difficult and uncomfortable.

Of course Hu Siwei also tried to resolve this matter properly, but in the end, there was no solution.

No matter how much he knew that Bai Jingnian's ability and talent as a director were in the first echelon, the leaders inside the station just didn't recognize it, and it was useless no matter what he said.

People often have as deep-rooted stubbornness in their own judgment as stereotypes.

"If he was really capable, why would he finally have a movie with a better reputation after encountering the drama "Six People"? Look at what movies he has filmed before."

Hu Siwei felt aggrieved for Bai Jingnian in his heart. What scene were you filming? Isn’t that all a bad show you forced on him? Everyone can point their fingers, but all important roles are arranged by the leader. Advertising slogans can be strongly inserted into the plot and dialogue. How could a play like this not be bad? What can a director without any background or voice do?

However, if Bai Jingnian didn't say these words himself, Hu Sisi would not have the courage to stand up for him. Bai Jingnian left decisively, and Hu Siwei could only bless him in his heart.

"Northern Light Video is willing to sign a contract with me on such favorable terms. In addition to the results of "Six People", it is mainly because of the drama "Wulin Gaiden". They need to find a suitable director to direct it. It was Yan He who told them that he After looking for me, I was rejected by Jingtai, so Northern Lights came up with the idea." Bai Jingnian smiled, "It's a good thing. I have been in Jingtai for more than 20 years, and now I am finally out, and I can see a new world. New scenery.”

Hu Siwei: "I envy you."

Bai Jingnian smiled and said, "There is nothing to envy. There are also risks."

"With your ability, Lu Yanhe's script, and Northern Lights' investment, "Wulin Gaiden" will not be bad, unlike "Six People", damn -" After Hu Siwei cursed such a curse word, he They were all stunned, and then laughed angrily.

"I heard that Zhang Lan will be assigned a leading role in the third season?"

"Yes." Hu Siwei nodded and sighed at the same time, "Zhang Lan replaced Chen Ziliang as the starring role in the third season. I am happy to see it happen. Chen Ziliang's acting skills are really unwatchable. They were all edited out in the later editing. Not good. However, Zhang Lan is too self-centered. He has already expressed his opinions on the script twice and is still not satisfied and refuses to sign the contract. "

"Why do you have to find her to play the role?" Bai Jingnian asked, "Can't we just let Yan Liang and the others who were there in the first season continue the story?"

"What else is there to ask? Why did they insist on adding a new character like Chen Ziliang in the first place? It's still the same now."

"Have you not learned the lesson of bringing Chen Ziliang over to star in the second season?"

"Eat it. They thought they had found the wrong person, so they found Zhang Lan. They felt that Zhang Lan had the best luck among actresses in recent years." Hu Siwei shook his head, "Zhang Lan's luck is okay. Bless Six Season 3.”

Bai Jingnian fell into a state of speechlessness.

"Luck? Blessing?"

"Well, you heard it right, they are even starting to care about these things now."

Hu Siwei didn't realize that his seemingly speechless expression also concealed a quiet disappointment that he himself was unaware of.

Bai Jingnian smiled sarcastically, "That's fucking nonsense. Fortunately, I left."

-

"The filming of "Wulin Gaiden" will start in May. You two remember to save a schedule for me to make a cameo."

During the video call with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, Lu Yanhe asked.

"Okay." Both of them made an OK gesture.

Li Zhibai: "It's rare that both of us are filming outside, but you didn't join the set. You've been off for two months, I'm jealous."

"What's the point of resting? I've been busy." Lu Yanhe said speechlessly, "Very busy."

"Are you two on the set?" Lu Yanhe asked again.

Yan Liang shook his head: "I'm in the hotel. There must be no signal on the set. It's rare to have a day off today without my scenes."

Lu Yanhe asked: "How is the filming of your movie going? When will it be finished?"

"There is still more than a month left, and it is estimated that it will not be completed until the end of April. If it is delayed further, it may not even be completed until May." Yan Liang said, "The director must shoot in real locations. Those who work in foreign countries always encounter problems. , many problems cannot be solved for a while, which always wastes time.”

"Be careful, I heard it's very chaotic over there, and some people are even bold enough to kidnap people." Li Zhibai said.

"No, no, the crew is reliable." Yan Liang said, "We are accompanied by bodyguards when we travel."

Lu Yanhe: "You have to be more careful when filming in the mountains. If you are in the deep mountains and forests, you won't be able to go to the hospital immediately if you have an accident."

"Yes." Yan Liang nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"What about you? Li Zhibai, when you were filming "Echoes of the Moonlight", why didn't I hear you talk about the crew?"

"I don't have anything to say. I just film as usual and call it a day. Occasionally I have dinner and a glass of wine with the other guys on the crew." Li Zhibai said, "However, after I changed my agent, I feel that my ears are still the same. I felt a lot more relaxed, and finally no one was yelling at me every now and then. He had a soft spot for that idiot Ma Zhiyuan. I heard that he wanted to act in a play for Ma Zhiyuan, but it turned out that Ma Zhiyuan was the second male lead in that play. , refused to act no matter what, Zhou Ping’an’s face turned green with anger.”

"Huh?" Yan Liang was stunned, "He recently accepted a movie for me, and it was a movie with the second male lead. Couldn't this be it?"

"What the hell?" Li Zhibai's eyes immediately stared, "He gave you a role that Ma Zhiyuan refused to play? What a shameless piece of shit!"

Yan Liang: "It's not necessarily the same play."

"Based on my understanding of Zhou Pingan, there is a high probability that it is the same drama." Li Zhibai said, "This person is so shameless."

Lu Yanhe saw that Yan Liang's face looked a little ugly, and immediately said: "Actually, if the role is good and the script is good, then it will be his loss if Ma Zhiyuan does not act. As long as Yan Liang plays the role well, there will be many opportunities for Ma Zhiyuan to regret it later. Didn't you also say that? ?Zhou Ping'an still has a very vicious eye for drama."

Yan Liang's expression softened slightly, nodded, and said, "Lao Lu is right, as long as the script is good and the character is good, it doesn't matter even if Ma Zhiyuan doesn't want it, he will suffer the loss."

Li Zhibai nodded, "Anyway, Yan Liang, please be more careful and don't let them trick you, especially Zhou Ping'an. His partiality comes from genes and grows in his bones. You must be careful." You can't let him give Ma Zhiyuan the opportunity that originally belonged to you. If this happens, just tell us and we will scold him to death for you. "

Yan Liang smiled.

Lu Yanhe: "The worst case scenario is to just start a fight with him on Weibo. Anyway, Li Zhibai and I don't owe him anything."

"Owe him? I owe him Immortal Banban, and I have done my best to him." Li Zhibai snorted.

"Well, you two have been away from Yuming for the past two months. I basically stayed at the school and didn't go back to Ziyuan Bridge."

"You won't lose sleep thinking about us after you lose sight of us, will you?" Li Zhibai laughed.

"You are so wretched." Lu Yanhe said with disdain.

Li Zhibai: "Tsk tsk, you say one thing and mean another." (End of this chapter)
