Choose a day to become famous

The next day, "Flowers on the Stars" suffered the same big drop as most movies scheduled to be released on Chinese Valentine's Day - only 13 million was left at the box office the next day.

Despite this, it is certain that the film will surpass 100 million yuan.

Yin Xincheng's agent Zhou Chi asked him: "Even if this is the case, will you still not accept Yu Jiang's new film?"

Yin Xincheng said: "Didn't I tell you that the schedule has been bumped up?"

"The schedules can be coordinated." Zhou Chi said, "It's not impossible to take time off to shoot a movie first. It is said that the movie "Flowers on the Stars" was shot in only twenty days. This kind of youth love movie can be shot very easily. quickly."

Yin Xincheng shook his head, "I don't want to cause drama."

"You really don't want to get involved in the drama?" Zhou Chi asked with a smile, "You."

Yin Xincheng said nothing.

"But that's okay. Indeed, you made your debut in "Six People". In everyone's eyes, Lu Yanhe is your noble man, and you accept his love. If you cooperate with Yu Jiang now, many people may call you ungrateful. The conflict between Yu Jiang and Lu Yanhe is well known to everyone, so you can’t even pretend to be stupid.”

After Zhou Chi finished speaking, he sighed again.

"It's a pity. The leading actor in the movie could have entered the film industry first through this movie."

Yin Xincheng asked: "Aren't there any other movie scripts coming to me?"

"Those are all scripts that came out of nowhere, and they look like bad movies at first glance." Zhou Chi said, "Or they are some incomprehensible scripts under the guise of art films."

Yin Xincheng nodded, "If I don't have a good script, I won't act in a movie."

"If you want to enter the film industry as soon as possible, you have to do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you keep acting in dramas, over time, you will be positioned in this circle as a drama actor, and it will be difficult for you to enter the film industry." Zhou Chi said, "When an actor first debuts, it is the time when he is least stereotyped. He must seize the opportunity."

Yin Xincheng said: "I'm not in a hurry. If we really reach a bottleneck in the future, I will go to Yan He and ask him for help."

"If you go to him for help, he will help you?"

"Yan He is a very good person and he will help me."

"He will give you the leading role?"

"Why do you have to play the leading role?" Yin Xincheng said, "I don't mind starting from a supporting role."

"Are you crazy? You acted in "Six People" when you debuted. You were the protagonist. With such a high starting point, you are willing to play supporting roles in the future?" Zhou Chi looked at him in shock.

Yin Xincheng said: "Look at Yan He, would he mind playing a supporting role?"

"He is Lu Yanhe."

"Before he was not the current Lu Yanhe, he also started acting as a supporting role." Yin Xincheng said, "He kept saying one thing, which I think makes sense, including Yan Liang."

"What words?"

"The audience will not naturally like you any more just because you are the protagonist, nor will they naturally like you any less just because you are a supporting role." Yin Xincheng said, "The two dramas Yan Liang performed this year, one is "Gold Rush" "The Legend" and "The Mountain" all have the second male lead. He is the real main protagonist in "Six Men". He can play the second male lead, why can't I?"

Zhou Chi: "Yan Liang's image conditions are not as good as yours."

"If my image conditions are good enough, I don't have to worry about not being able to get ahead if I play a supporting actor role." Yin Xincheng said, "Brother Chi, it's really not that important whether I am the leading actor or not."

Zhou Chi looked at Yin Xincheng in bewilderment.

"Why do you people who have worked with Lu Yanhe have this tone? What kind of ecstasy soup did he fill you with?"

"Because I saw that he also performed very well in supporting roles, and even won several Best Supporting Actor awards. Moreover, even if he did not win an award, every time he performed in supporting roles, he was still liked and praised by everyone. Facts have proved that, In today’s film and television environment, the charm of the character itself has gone far beyond the limitations of protagonists and supporting roles.”

Zhou Chi was thoughtful.

He really wanted to say, Yin Xincheng, if you had half the acting skills of Lu Yanhe, I would believe you.

But he didn't say this.

Firstly, these words are too hurtful, and secondly, as for acting, if the supporting roles are not good, how can the protagonist be more good?

Zhou Chi chooses plays for Yin Xincheng, and the ones he chooses are basically scripts that are within Yin Xincheng's comfort zone.

It won't expose his shortcomings - making the audience think that his acting skills are poor.

"By the way, the drama training camp I signed up for you will start in October and last for fourteen days. Don't forget it." Zhou Chi said, "I saw you said before that you wanted to go to Iceland."

Yin Xincheng said: "Well, remember, I will go to Iceland at the end of the year. After I come back, I will join the group of "Flower Scenery"."

Zhou Chi frowned when he heard Yin Xincheng mention "Flower Scene".

If Chen Ziliang hadn't intervened and had to bring money into the group to give his second male lead more roles, this would be a really good deal for Yin Xincheng.

-

"What? Do you want Chen Ziliang to act?"

When the proud Yu Jiang heard Ruyi Pictures' suggestion for the male lead in her new film, her face immediately dropped and she looked ugly.

"Why do you want Chen Ziliang to star in my movie? Don't you know what's going on with him? Do you want to mess up my movie?"

Yu Jiang glared at the Ruyi Pictures group sitting opposite her, very angry.

Someone from Ruyi Pictures said, "Can't we find a suitable actor now?"

Yu Jiang said: "Then we can't let Chen Ziliang act! If Chen Ziliang plays a movie and fails in a movie, it's your business to praise him. Don't harm my movie!"

The people at Ruyi Pictures were also a little annoyed by Yu Jiang's strong style.

"Teacher Yu, this movie is indeed adapted from your book. You are also the screenwriter. However, this movie is produced by Ruyi. This is a Ruyi movie." The people from Ruyi Pictures endured their own frustrations. Temper, "Although Chen Ziliang has some negative reputation, the works he starred in were not bad in terms of commercial returns in the end."

Yu Jiang said: "Really? The box office of "Nineteen Years of Crime" is like this. Does this mean that the commercial return is not bad?"

Someone from Ruyi Pictures said: "This movie is profitable, and the problem with the movie is not his fault."

"It's so ridiculous. Go ahead and say this to others." Yu Jiang rolled his eyes, "I don't agree to let Chen Ziliang star in my movie. Even if I find a new guy to act in it, I won't use him!"

"The casting rights are in Ruyi's hands, it's not you who has the final say!" The people from Ruyi Pictures were very annoyed.

Yujiang: "Then there's no need for us to cooperate."

She sneered and folded her hands in front of her chest, "No wonder the movies you make are worse than the last. Even actors like Chen Ziliang are used again and again. I want to see when you go bankrupt." ”

Everyone at Ruyi Pictures turned green.

Yu Jiang is famous for being arrogant, arrogant, hot-tempered, and difficult to serve... these are all famous. She became famous at a young age and is a best-selling author. There are several film and television dramas adapted from her novels, all of which have achieved good results. Ruyi Pictures had already made relevant psychological preparations before cooperating with Yu Jiang. However, since the cooperation, they have still been repeatedly stimulated by some of Yu Jiang's attitudes and words.

How should I put it... This person, she is so hateful sometimes, and in a very low-level way that makes people feel speechless. Why would such a person become their collaborator? Why can such a person achieve such success? Middle school students may not be as brazen and harsh as she is, but she has an arrogant confidence that the world revolves around her.

This time, the meeting between Ruyi Pictures and Yu Jiang ended in a very unpleasant way.

-

"Ruyi wanted Chen Ziliang to star in Yu Jiang's new film, but Yu Jiang refused? Why?" Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in surprise. After finishing speaking, he realized why his last sentence was ambiguous, and immediately said, "I asked why Ruyi Do you still want Chen Ziliang to play?”

Lu Yanhe has never understood why Ruyi Pictures supports Chen Ziliang so much?

Chen Ziliang is not a contracted actor of Ruyi Pictures, so there is really no need to praise him so much, right?

Chen Ziyan said: "Chen Ziliang has a big thigh. This thigh has a lot of say in Ruyi Pictures."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"The thigh...is it a woman?"

Chen Ziyan: "Why are you asking so cautiously? Of course it's a woman."

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

"I heard that Chen Ziliang is still in contact with "Era of Idols" and wants to sign a contract with "Era of Idols" as a regular guest performer for two seasons."

"Huh? He has never taken the idol route. Now he wants to appear in "Idol Era"?"

"Who has allowed him to have bad luck in the past few years and his career has collapsed across the board." Chen Ziyan said, "If he doesn't try every means to save himself under such circumstances, then he is really out of luck."

Lu Yanhe said: "If Yu Jiang doesn't agree to use him, will Ruyi Pictures listen to Yu Jiang's opinion?"

"It's really hard to tell. Generally speaking, novel authors and screenwriters have basically no say in front of production companies. But Yu Jiang, you have to admit that she is crazy enough and crazy enough. As for Ruyi Pictures, a production company that is supposed to be very powerful, it is also a bit cautious." Chen Ziyan said, "No matter how powerful a person is in martial arts, he is still afraid of a lunatic wielding a kitchen knife, because lunatics are not afraid of death."

Lu Yanhe: "This is really..."

"Furthermore, "Flowers on the Stars" was a huge success. For this movie, neither the director nor the starring actor is the most critical keyman. The keyman is Yu Jiang." Chen Ziyan shrugged, "So you know, if Yu Jiang is If there is strong opposition, it’s hard to say what Ruyi Pictures’ attitude will be.”

It's impossible for any studio to ignore the opinions of a creator who can make eight-figure hits.

While we were chatting, someone knocked on the door.

Jia Long is here.

He came alone, without anyone accompanying him.

"Teacher Jia!" Chen Ziyan stood up and greeted with a smile.

"Brother Long." Lu Yanhe also greeted Jia Long.

Jia Long took off the peaked cap on his head, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "It's hot today. I just walked from the parking lot to the elevator, and I was sweating all over my back."

He sat down with a big smile on his face.

"There's a bit of a traffic jam on the road. I've kept you waiting for a long time."

"We have just been here for a while. We originally made an appointment at three o'clock in the afternoon. We are only fifty-five now." Chen Ziyan poured a cup of herbal tea for Jia Long herself and said, "This place is opened by a friend of mine. If nothing else is said, it will be kept confidential." It’s first-class. You can come here if you need it in the future and there will be absolutely no interruptions. ”

Jia Long nodded and said, "I can already feel it. From the time I parked the car to the moment I walked in, I didn't meet anyone on the road. This confidentiality measure is top-notch."

"It's all one-on-one service, and you won't bump into anyone when you go in and out." Chen Ziyan said, ""People on the Road" was a great success, although the box office was not as brilliant as Mr. Jia's previous box office, which was less than one billion. But the reputation is very good, with a score of 8.2 on Yemai.com.”

Jia Long nodded, "I didn't expect that this movie would have such a good reputation among the audience. Since the news of the second part came out, people ask me every day when the second part will be filmed."

He looked at Lu Yanhe with a smile and asked, "Yan He, how is the writing of the second part of the script going?"

"The first draft has been written, but I still have to polish it." Lu Yanhe writes movie scripts very quickly. They are all movies he has watched. The characters and story development are very clear. He does not need to think about this. It just needs to be written out in words, "The script for the second part not only has two male protagonists, but also an additional one, for a total of three protagonists."

Jia Long asked curiously: "Are you finally willing to join our big universe of "The Journey"?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to act. I can't play this leading role. He is a man about forty years old."

"Ah?" Jia Long was stunned, "What's going on?"

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "After all, I am traveling abroad, and I need a villain who does bad things to play with, so that the story will be interesting."

Jia Long shrugged his eyebrows in confusion, "Well, although I don't know what kind of story you wrote yet, it must be a good story."

"It's not necessarily true, Brother Long, the story of the second part... I don't think there are as many interesting lines as the first part." Lu Yanhe said, "The second part has more exaggerated parts."

Jia Long: "No matter what, how do we do the second part?"

"As much as possible, the original team will be the same." Lu Yanhe said, "The most important core is the duo of you and Dashan. This cannot be changed."

"Are you still willing to cooperate with Yannian Film and Television?" Jia Long asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "If it hadn't been for them this time, "On the Road" would have exceeded 1 billion when it was released during the Spring Festival."

"Yes, this is the most pity." Jia Long said, "However, this kind of thing is the same no matter which film company it is placed in. No company will give up a sequel with a box office of 4 billion. Release of a new movie.”

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"What conditions are they willing to impose on a sequel?"

"They are willing to give a production budget of 150 million, not counting the publicity and distribution costs." Jia Long said, "You and I will each receive a package salary of 20 million, Director Jiang will receive 10 million, and Dashan will receive 4 million. , you and I will get another 4.5% of the box office profits.”

For a sequel film whose first film grossed nearly 700 million in box office, such a production budget and remuneration are within normal standards.

The salary of 20 million yuan is also considered to be the highest in China. Except for the actors with the most box office appeal, the ceiling is only 20 million.

The conditions are quite good.

However, this was not what Lu Yanhe really considered.

"Where's the Spring Festival stall?"

"It is written into the distribution contract that if the film cannot be released during the Spring Festival within two years and cannot guarantee a first-day scheduling rate of more than 15% after it has been reviewed, Yannian Film and Television will have to pay a loss of 80 million."

Lu Yanhe was surprised: "Will Yannian Film and Television be willing to sign? The conditions are not favorable."

"They will never refuse a sequel movie that is sure to make money." Jia Long said, "Moreover, they gave us a total investment share of 30 million. Of course, they would be more happy if we didn't want it. "

The so-called investment share of 30 million is equivalent to giving them one-fifth of the investment share in a movie with a budget of 150 million. If they are willing, they can invest in the remuneration and directly enjoy the profit share. .

At this point, Lu Yanhe felt that Yannian Film and Television had really shown its sincerity.

This is equivalent to giving them one-fifth of the income.

It's like the owner of a gold mine giving them part of the mining rights. It's a clearly profitable business, and the risk is much smaller than other film investments.

Chen Ziyan said: "We must add a priority settlement right. At the same time, we also need to send finance to the crew to supervise the flow of every fund."

Movies are so easy to make accounts of.

Even though Yannian Film and Television is so generous with the conditions now, they can definitely manipulate the settlement when the time comes. For example, they will include a lot of expenditures of Yannian Film and Television into the expenses of the sequel project of "The Man on the Road", and then By adding additional publicity fees or packaging and selling it with other film projects, part of the peripheral copyright income of the sequel to "Unfortunate" was covered, which invisibly reduced the income they could have enjoyed.

Chen Ziyan believes that in the end they will not lose money and will definitely make money. But it is very likely that a project that could have earned 50 to 60 million yuan would only be able to earn 10 million yuan once it was completed by Yannian Film and Television. After all, there is still a publicity fee that has not yet been calculated, and the trick here is even bigger.

The three of them were sitting in this small hidden club, discussing the sequel project of "On the Road", and first reaching an agreement among themselves before going to negotiate with Yannian Film and Television.

-

Lu Yanhe felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.

After the discussion on the sequel project of "Unfortunate Journey" was completed, Jia Long said: "I am going to make a web series for Dashan. The cost is not high. Are you interested in investing?"

Lu Yanhe was a little curious and asked, "What is the subject?"

"Suspense, a murder in a village, a movie script that I liked many years ago. I wanted to develop it at the time, but no one was willing to invest, so I put it on hold. Now I am not old enough to act anymore," Jia Long said, "I found a screenwriter and turned it into a web drama script, and asked Dashan to act. It was a tailor-made script for him. The cost was not high. The total cost of twelve episodes was only three million."

Lu Yanhe said: "Okay, how much do I need to invest here?"

"Three hundred thousand?" Jia Long said, "I will take half of it myself, and I will ask my friends for the rest."

Of course it's not that Jia Long can't come up with three million, but generally when it comes to investment in these film and television projects, he doesn't invest the full amount himself. He divides the investment. You invest a little, I invest a little. First, the risk can be reduced. , eggs don’t need to be put in one basket, and secondly, with more producers investing, if the project encounters any problems, there will be more people to help.

Therefore, you can see some big names appearing in the producer column in many Hollywood movies. Some of them are nominal, some have invested, and some have given other assistance. All in all, the truth is that the more friends you have, the more stable your project will be.

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Okay."

Only then did Jia Long smile and ask: "I thought you would reject me. You even posted a special post on Weibo saying that you won't invest in film projects recently. Are there a lot of people asking you to invest recently?"

Lu Yanhe said: "No, maybe my Weibo post really misunderstood many people. It's not that I don't want to invest in movies and TV series, that's an exception."

He told Jia Long the whole story about Zhou Changying and the "Behind the Golden Coat" sequel project.

Jia Long was stunned.

"There is really no way to prevent this," Jia Long said. "God knows how many people outside are seeking investment in our name. Now nine out of ten comedy projects list me as a proposed actor."

Lu Yanhe laughed.

"There's nothing you can do about it, you're the leader of comedy movies."

"This is also very bad. Over the years, I have never acted in a non-comedy film." Jia Long said, "The acting options are too limited."

Lu Yanhe said: "Brother Long, you can organize a project yourself and do it yourself."

Jia Long said: "As long as it has nothing to do with comedy, no one will invest."

Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.

The market is what it is.

-

On the third day after "Flower on the Stars" was released, there were only 8 million left at the box office. By Monday, a working day, the box office had completely failed, with only a little over 2 million left.

Such a youth love movie earned over 100 million in box office in its first three days. However, starting from the fourth day, it suffered from word of mouth and failed to stabilize the box office trend.

But Ruyi Pictures and Yu Jiang both said that this is a normal phenomenon.

"You will know if you watch the films released on Valentine's Day and Chinese Valentine's Day in the past three years. This is the case for these two periods. Basically, the box office on the day of release accounts for 70%-80% of the total box office. Only a very few films can Go for the long term." A spokesman for Ruyi Pictures said confidently, ""Flower on the Star" is already one of the best-performing domestic youth love-themed films this year, and its sales are booming overseas. Its success is unquestionable.”

Yu Jiang's speech became more confident.

"The performance of "Flowers on the Star" is not good? A film with no famous director and the leading actor Lang Xia who is also acting in a movie for the first time can sell the best results among domestic youth love-themed movies this year. Is this called a poor performance? Then find one that performs well and show it to me.”

The reporter who had something to do was immediately provoked: "What if the final box office of "Love Letter" directed by Lu Yanhe is higher than that of "Flowers on the Star"?"

"Then what's wrong? Do you think it's strange that movies starring Chen Bige have higher box office than movies starring Lang Xia? Others use big-name stars, but we don't have big-name stars." Yu Jiang said.

Then, Lang Xia’s fans quit.

One by one, they went to Yujiang’s Weibo to question her——

——Lang Xia can handle such a high box office for the first time in a movie. Shouldn't you be lucky? Why did it come out of your mouth that Lang Xia became a little actor who took advantage of you? He was already a popular actor before he acted in "Flowers on the Star"!

——Why is Lang Xia not a big star? It's really unlucky to work with you. In order to prove the success of "Flowers on the Stars", I have to prove it by belittling the male protagonist.

——Without Lang Xia, who would go to see this movie?

…

Even before the movie "Flower on the Star" was released, fans of the leading actor and screenwriter/producer Yu Jiang started working on it.

How could Yu Jiang's temper be able to bear it?

She replied one by one.

——At that time, I was the only one who dared to cast him, who had never acted in a movie, as the leading actor. It wasn’t me. He still can’t get into the movie industry!

——Does Lang Xia know what you said? Do you know how much respect he has for me?

——I have never said that Lang Xia is not popular, but compared with him and Chen Bige, there is no doubt who has a greater status and a higher status, right?

——With fans like you, which movie in the future would dare to use Lang Xia as the male protagonist? Is this how you repay me?

…

The exchange between Yu Jiang and Lang Xia fans became a hot topic.

She was furious and output like crazy.

However, Lang Xia's fans are so easy to fool.

No one's fighting ability is low.

In the end, Yu Jiang even cursed: "Then why don't I give up cooperating with another movie that I already have Lang Xia starring in?"

Fans of Lang Xia: Without Lang Xia starring, we have to see how much box office your movie can sell!

Lang Xia, who had been silent the whole time, was suddenly put on the fire.

He Yingzi scolded Yu Jiang in his heart - there are several public figures who will scold people on social platforms. Who do you think you are? At the same time, he had to force a smile, call Yu Jiang, persuade her to calm down, and coax her nicely.

"Why are we being provoked by those black men? It's not certain whether they are really fans of Lang Xia. What real fan doesn't know that you are our noble man?" He Yingzi said, "Lang Xia stars in your movie. , it’s a win-win.”

-

"A dog can't change its habit of eating shit. If you don't stop, I'll step on you." Chen Siqi put down the phone, sat on the bed, dried his hair with a towel, and said to Lu Yanhe, "Just say "Flowers on the Stars", I have to mention you, and I want to say that Chen Bige is better than Lang Xia. I just want to say that even if "Love Letter" has a higher box office, it is due to Chen Bige and has nothing to do with you. "

Lu Yanhe sat on the chair, looked at Chen Siqi, who was only wearing a white suspender skirt, and sighed.

Chen Siqi asked: "What time is it now?"

"Half past four."

"Oh, you have to hurry up." Chen Siqi said, "Otherwise, you may be late."

Tonight they are going to attend a charity gala hosted by a fashion magazine.

The editor-in-chief called them personally to invite them. Lu Yanhe had collaborated with them several times before and had a good relationship, so he agreed.

At this time, the room doorbell rang.

It's the makeup team.

Lu Yanhe went to open the door.

Wang Biao brought people in and styled the two of them.

"Brother Xiao Lu, Chen Ziliang and Lang Xia will also attend the event tonight." Wang Biao whispered.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

There are always a lot of charity dinners in this industry. Everyone has a false reputation, no one is exempt. Lu Yanhe couldn't say that he didn't need it. However, he does not do charity in these activities. Instead, he follows Chen Ziyan and insists on donating money and materials to children in mountainous areas.

Every time he and Chen Siqi appear together, they attract a lot of attention.

This time is no exception.

However, they never expected that they would meet Liu Wei'an tonight.

The last time Lu Yanhe saw Liu Wei'an was in high school.

After getting together with Chen Siqi, Lu Yanhe had never seen them before.

Chen Siqi's expression changed first, and then Lu Yanhe noticed why.

She actually came tonight.

Lu Yanhe subconsciously looked at Chen Siqi, worried that Chen Siqi's mood would become bad at this moment.

"Siqi."

"It's okay." Chen Siqi immediately took a deep breath, "Let's just pretend she doesn't exist."

However, they wanted to pretend she didn't exist, but she didn't seem to have the same idea.

She was wearing an elegant long dress and walked towards them.

And Liu Wei'an didn't seem to be a stranger on tonight's occasion.

Many people know her and follow her movements.

At this moment, Lu Yanhe actually thought of many things.

For example, Chen Siqi's family background is not widely known at present. Maybe with Liu Wei'an's appearance tonight, the matter will be exposed on the Internet in a serious way.

For example, Liu Wei'an used her always hypocritical face to irritate Chen Siqi. Chen Siqi couldn't help but lose her temper in front of everyone and clashed with Liu Wei'an.

There are endless ideas in my mind.

Liu Wei'an walked up to them and said, "Siqi, you won't go home during the summer vacation. Your father misses you so much."

She raised her right hand, as if she wanted to put it lightly on her shoulder.

Chen Siqi moved directly to the side to avoid Liu Wei'an's movement.

Liu Wei'an seemed to have expected that Chen Siqi would avoid it. Without any hesitation, the hand suddenly turned in mid-air and landed on Lu Yanhe's shoulder.

Lu Yanhe didn't even have time to escape.

"I've wanted to see you for a long time." Liu Wei'an looked at Lu Yanhe calmly and said, "Big star."

Before Lu Yanhe could speak, Chen Siqi suddenly raised his hand and slapped Liu Wei'an's hand away from Lu Yanhe's shoulder.

"Stay away from us." Chen Siqi lowered his voice and stared at Liu Wei'an with an ugly expression, "Don't you know we don't want to talk to you?"

When Lu Yanhe saw Chen Siqi like this, he knew she was going to explode.

Lu Yanhe reached out, took Chen Siqi's hand, and squeezed her palm gently, indicating that she could control her emotions.

Chen Siqi took a deep breath.

Lu Yanhe looked at Liu Wei'an calmly and asked, "Didn't Mr. Chen accompany you? Are you alone tonight?"

Liu Wei'an was stunned.

Lu Yanhe's attitude was beyond her imagination.

The almost flawless expression on Liu Wei'an's face froze for a moment, then disappeared immediately.

"Can't I come alone?" she asked.

Lu Yanhe had a faint smile on his face - the faint smile was intentional.

"You can come, but if Mr. Chen really misses his daughter, he might as well tell her in person, not through fake mouths, especially the fake stepmother's mouth, which is easy to cause misunderstandings." Lu Yanhe said calmly, "The stepmothers in fairy tales are not very good images. We, the children who grew up reading fairy tales, are also inevitably affected by them. You are so gentle and generous, you shouldn't mind, right?"

Liu Wei'an's eyes twitched slightly.

Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.

She seemed surprised that she could say such words to subdue Liu Wei'an.

Lu Yanhe said, "Since Mr. Chen is not here tonight, let's keep some distance. If everyone knows that my girlfriend is the daughter of the Chen family, they may be curious about why my girlfriend doesn't want to go home during the summer vacation, especially... people who grew up reading fairy tales will be moved by your hypocritical mercy like your hypocritical friends?"

Liu Wei'an: "You are really knowledgeable and sharp-tongued now."

"When facing the enemy, you must show your sharpest claws." Lu Yanhe said calmly, "I believe that you are a smart person. If the fact that you tried your best to prevent Siqi from going to Jiangguang University was exposed on the Internet, you know how much criticism you will receive without me saying it. Unfortunately, except for Mr. Chen, no one will believe that you are just reluctant to let a little daughter leave her parents too far away."

Every word of Lu Yanhe revealed a strong sense of threat.

Liu Wei'an gritted her teeth, did not show it on her face, and walked away calmly.

Chen Siqi breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Lu Yanhe with excitement.

"How can you be so awesome?!"

Lu Yanhe raised his lips slightly.

Chen Siqi said, "It's a good thing you're here today, otherwise I would definitely go crazy."

"Control your temper and don't let yourself go crazy." Lu Yanhe said, "Liu Wei'an is not worth your crazy."

"I can't help it. I can tolerate other people and hypnotize myself not to care about them, but Liu Wei'an can't." Chen Siqi said, "You can't understand how I feel when I see Liu Wei'an. I can't control myself."

"Then when you meet Liu Wei'an in the future, you don't have to speak, let me deal with it." Lu Yanhe said, "You are not as thick-skinned as her. As long as you are thicker-skinned than her, she is actually easy to deal with."

Chen Siqi laughed.

-

In addition to many celebrities and artists, many celebrities were invited to today's charity dinner.

After all, donations are required.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi will also donate today, and will donate 500,000 yuan in their names.

It's not that Lu Yanhe doesn't want to donate more, but the charity dinners held by fashion magazines are, to be honest, more showy than the actual charity itself.

Lu Yanhe doesn't want to spend more money on this. He would rather donate more to the children in the mountainous areas, even if not many people know about the charity there, and he didn't take the initiative to promote it.

And there are several performances at the charity dinner tonight.

Among them is Chen Ziliang singing on stage.

There is a song request session, and a daughter of a large group spent 200,000 and requested a representative work of Chen Ziliang.

This 200,000 will naturally be counted as tonight's charity fundraising.

There is also an auction session.

The organizers have contacted Lu Yanhe before and asked him to provide an item for auction.

Lu Yanhe thought for a long time and took out the draft of the handwritten lyrics of "Remembering".

Lu Yanhe came on stage to introduce the auction item he had taken out, saying: "This is the handwritten manuscript of the first song I wrote. At that time, Siqi and I were both in the third year of high school. I wrote the lyrics on paper and hummed the tune. Siqi added the score based on the tune I hummed. This is the only original manuscript of the song "Remembering". It is of great significance to Siqi and me. It should have a certain collection value - I hope it has, otherwise I will be too embarrassed if no one raises a sign later."

Everyone laughed.

Then it was time to raise a sign.

Chen Siqi was the first to raise a sign.

Fifty thousand.

Everyone exclaimed.

What is this? You bought back the things that your family took out for auction?

Okay, the auction money is charity money anyway, you can do whatever you want.

At this time, Chen Ziliang suddenly raised a sign surprisingly.

One hundred thousand.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi looked at Chen Ziliang in surprise.

None of them expected Chen Ziliang to raise a sign.

At this time, Liu Wei'an raised the sign again leisurely.

150,000.

She is not from the entertainment industry, and many people don't know her.

But of course the celebrity circle knows her.

Some people know her relationship with Chen Siqi, and they whisper to the people around them. Then, someone next to them showed a knowing look of "I see".

Chen Siqi raised the sign again without hesitation.

200,000.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

Are you kidding?

It's fine that you raised the sign the first time to set an example, but why are you still raising the sign now that others have raised the sign?

Do you really want to buy it home yourself?

At this time, Li Luzhi, who was also invited today, also raised the sign.

250,000.

As Li Pengfei's father and the founder of Lu Yanhe's endorsement brand "Xueyou APP", his action of raising the sign was interpreted by many people as supporting his spokesperson.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

A manuscript was auctioned for 250,000 yuan, which is not low.

The host did not expect this effect.

But at this moment, Liu Wei'an suddenly raised the sign again.

She had a smile on her lips, and the action of raising the sign was calm and light, as if she was just waving her hand casually.

The price of 300,000 yuan was just thrown out by her like water.

Chen Siqi rolled her eyes in anger.

Lu Yanhe knew that Chen Siqi definitely did not want this manuscript to be auctioned back by Liu Wei'an.

300,000 yuan is nothing to Liu Wei'an, but if this manuscript falls into Liu Wei's hands, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi will be disgusted for the rest of their lives.

Chen Bige suddenly raised the sign.

350,000 yuan!

The host shouted in surprise, saying: "Ms. Chen Bige raised 350,000 yuan. It seems that Yanhe and Miss Bige have a happy cooperation."

Chen Bige waved the sign with a smile.

Lu Yanhe immediately said, "I really have to thank Sister Bi Ge, you are so awesome, I am flattered."

Jia Long suddenly raised his sign as well.

"I'll join in the fun too." Jia Long raised his sign, then took the microphone from the emcee next to him and said with a smile, "Yanhe and I are going to work together on the sequel to Lost on Journey, I have to support my little brother."

Four hundred thousand!

The discussion became more intense.

No one expected that Lu Yanhe's manuscript would attract so many people to raise their signs to compete for it.

Lu Yanhe said immediately: "I should have brought the manuscript of Lost on Journey earlier. The story of Lost on Journey was also written on a manuscript at the beginning."

The host immediately said: "Then on behalf of Vogue magazine, I will reserve this manuscript from you as an auction item for our charity dinner next year, okay?"

Lu Yanhe nodded generously and said: "Okay."

Host: "Then we must invite Teacher Jia Long to come next year."

Jia Long smiled and said: "This is what I mean by not taking a photo of it."

Host said: "It is indeed unreasonable for you not to take a photo of the original manuscript of Lost on Journey."

Jia Long: "Okay, as long as there is a manuscript of Lost on Journey next year, I will definitely come and take a photo of it even if I sell everything I have."

In the end, the manuscript of Memory was bought by Jia Long for 400,000 yuan.

This 400,000 yuan will also go into tonight's charity fundraising.

Lu Yanhe returned to his seat.

Chen Siqi whispered in Lu Yanhe's ear: "Fortunately, someone else raised a sign in the back. If Liu Wei'an really took it, I would definitely not agree. I would definitely grab it."

Lu Yanhe smiled and said: "Don't worry, if no one competes with Liu Wei'an in the end, I will take it myself. I said I couldn't bear it and decided to take it myself."

Chen Siqi: "That would be too embarrassing."

Lu Yanhe: "There's nothing embarrassing. This is not a real auction. It's just a form to add a little fun and increase fundraising."

After Lu Yanhe's auction items, Lang Xia's auction items also came on stage.

However, there was nothing on the stage.

The people in the audience looked at each other, curious about what was going on.

At this time, the host said: "The auction items provided by Lang Xia are-"

"Have dinner with Lang Xia."

Chen Siqi heard what the host said, coughed directly, and looked at the stage in disbelief.

"What the hell?"

Lu Yanhe also looked at the stage in disbelief.

For a moment, the scene was very quiet. Some were shocked by the auction item and had nothing to say.

The host probably didn't expect that the audience would react like this to this auction item.

When the host announced that the placards could be raised, no one even raised a placard within three seconds.

The silence was embarrassing.

Lu Yanhe felt embarrassed for Lang Xia.

Fortunately, someone still raised a placard politely.

It was a producer.

Starting price, fifty thousand.

The host was afraid of continuing to be awkward, so he immediately started chatting.

"Mr. You raised a placard. Mr. You wanted to have a chance to have dinner with Lang Xia. Do you want to cooperate with Lang Xia in a later play?"

Producer You nodded and said, "Yes, there is a play that I want to cooperate with Lang Xia in the future. It's a good opportunity to chat while eating."

The host turned to look at Lang Xia, "Mr. You's sincerity is too strong, right?"

Lang Xia also felt embarrassed. He didn't expect that almost no one responded to the auction item he carefully prepared.

Lang Xia was of course somewhat grateful to the producer who helped him out.

"Of course." Lang Xia laughed and laughed at himself, "I thought no one was holding a sign, and I was ready to hold one myself, haha, thank you, Mr. You!"

-

Chen Siqi whispered to Lu Yanhe: "I was almost embarrassed to the point of digging my toes into the ground."

Lu Yanhe said: "I think we should find a second person for this kind of auction in the future. It would be too embarrassing if no one bids."

"Indeed." Chen Siqi nodded, "I will accompany you to participate in this kind of event in the future, and I will be your second person."

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, saying yes.

After the filming session was over, it was time for the group photo.

All the guests were invited to the stage one by one.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi were also named.

"Let's go slowly, we have to wait foolishly when we get on stage." Lu Yanhe is very experienced, "When the video is circulated, you will see a group of people on the stage giving up the C position to each other, socializing and greeting each other awkwardly."

Chen Siqi laughed, "It's a very vivid picture."

Lu Yanhe said: "Really, my experience is that the later you go on stage at this time, the better. You don't have to socialize awkwardly with people, and you don't have to be pushed around by others. Just stand on the side."

Chen Siqi asked: "Won't it be distorted if you stand on the side to take pictures? It is said that the closer you are to the side, the more distorted the photos will be."

Lu Yanhe: "For this kind of group photo, it's distorted, I don't care."

"Okay." Chen Siqi nodded.

The two were almost the last to go on stage.

As a result, as soon as they came on stage, they were invited to the middle.

Lu Yanhe waved his hand quickly and prepared to stand on the side.

Chen Siqi was not interested in getting close to the female stars.

However, the positions for the group photo were clearly divided by gender.

The girls almost all stood in the front, and the boys all stood in the back.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi had to separate.

As soon as Lu Yanhe poked at the side, the people next to him moved him in.

He waved his hand and didn't move, but the people hugged him with both hands and moved a seat inside.

Lu Yanhe was shocked.

Then, the second person who let him in followed suit, no matter how hard Lu Yanhe shook his hands, he pushed him in.

Lu Yanhe was picked up three times and sent to the C position in the fourth row with a confused face.

Huh? !

The audience watching the live broadcast were all crazy with joy at this scene.

—— I have never seen Lu Yanhe so helpless.

—— This scene is going to be enshrined in the gods. It is foreseeable that this GIF will go viral on the Internet.

—— Facts have proved that when you are in the C position, you don’t need to fight or grab, everyone will take the initiative to give you the C position.

—— Lu Yanhe is too funny, a C position hostage.

—— Hahahaha, a fucking C position hostage.

—— Chen Siqi, go and rescue your boyfriend! Your boyfriend has been kidnapped!

—— Seeing Lu Yanhe tonight, I deeply understand a truth, what traffic, heat, and popularity are not as important as works and achievements. In the end, this circle still depends on real things.

——I am really looking forward to the Venice International Film Festival at the end of the month. Although it is not the main competition unit, the Horizon Unit is also an official competition unit. I really hope Lu Yanhe can win an award this time!

——Win the Best Actor Award!

——Shang Yongzhou is still here.

——Then I wish them a double yolk! (End of this chapter)
