Choose a day to become famous

She said: "If something like Liu Min happens again in the future, no matter who it is, they will refuse it directly. When we first opened this company, we set the rules. The projects of our artists cannot become the cake they have a foot in. It is even more forbidden to engage in exchange of benefits.”

Lu Qingzhen: "I thought Liu Min would be nice to you. Anyway, she has won the Galaxy Award before."

"That was all twenty years ago." Chen Ziyan said, "Besides, it has nothing to do with whether she is a movie queen or not. No matter who comes, this precedent cannot be set."

Lu Qingzhen nodded, "Okay, then I understand."

Chen Ziyan: "She is really...sigh, but she wants to remind the audience of her again, so it is understandable that she will try her best to come back."

"If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place? When I was in my twenties and my career was going well, I quit the job and went back to support my husband and raise children. Now that I have come out and want to become famous, no one will remember her." Lu Qingzhen said, "I can't help but feel embarrassed. , I started playing small roles.”

"She hasn't acted in nearly twenty years, and her acting skills have indeed deteriorated a lot. In the few auditions I arranged for her, people reported that her acting was average, which I didn't expect." Chen Ziyan shook her head and sighed, "The former actress Finally, some ordinary crew members will now criticize her for her poor acting skills.”

"This is too normal. Acting is just a skill." Lu Qingzhen said, "You will get rusty if you don't use it for too long. I think it's really harder for actors who have expired to become popular. In addition to overcoming the lack of fame and attention, we also have to completely come out of the previous halo and polish our mentality. This is too difficult. "

Chen Ziyan said: "Don't think about accepting roles for her to become famous. Instead, accept some variety shows. With her reputation as the winner of the Galaxy Award, she can still receive invitations to some programs. After she gradually becomes popular, we can give her She went to contact the crew.”

Lu Qingzhen nodded.

"cheers!"

In an antique restaurant box, Lu Yanhe gathered with Chen Siqi, Lin Yu, Chen Qin, Li Pengfei, and Xu Zijun and clinked glasses together. The atmosphere was particularly lively.

Only in front of a few of them, Lu Yanhe would completely forget his identity as a celebrity artist.

It's not that they stopped talking about the entertainment industry, but in front of them, Lu Yanhe was able to regain the feeling he had before becoming popular and being surrounded by media cameras.

Lu Yanhe was particularly happy that they could still get together four years after graduating from high school.

The original intention of starting "Jump Up" magazine has now really come true.

Moreover, none of the three couples among them broke up after four years of studying in different places.

It's incredible.

Lu Yanhe himself knew very well how difficult this was.

At this time, Lu Yanhe suddenly realized that Xu Zijun, who was a little chubby, had lost a lot of weight compared to four years ago.

It's not that she lost weight and became a paper figure, or that she underwent an incredible transformation. She had slowly lost weight little by little in the past four years. Lu Yanhe barely noticed it. He only felt that she slowly started to put on makeup and became much more confident and prettier than before.

If she hadn't been sitting next to Li Pengfei today, and Lu Yanhe suddenly remembered the scene from back then, Lu Yanhe might still have been unable to react.

"The monthly sales of the physical magazine of "Jump Up" are now stable at around 160,000-190,000, and the summer and winter special issues can get about 250,000, but basically there is not much change." This table Everyone is related to "Jump Up", and the common topics are basically centered around this magazine. Chen Siqi inevitably talked about the current achievements, "However, new media is indeed the general trend, and the cultural supplement we made has been changed to As an online cultural class APP, it has been downloaded tens of millions of times across all channels and has 1.27 million registered users.”

Chen Siqi turned to Lu Yanhe and smiled, "Your suggestion is indeed very good. Make an APP specifically for our professors and scholars to hold classes in the form of audio. It has attracted many people. Our background data shows that the APP's The peak usage periods are morning peak, evening peak and before going to bed.”

As an APP with only about one million daily users, it is far from being a commercial success. However, its influence and cultural value are unique. Moreover, this is also a successful spin-off of "Jump Up".

Lu Yanhe asked: "Is the program "China in Culture" also preparing for a second season?"

"Well." Chen Siqi said, "We contacted twelve scholars, and each scholar used three forty-minute programs to talk about a theme. Zijun is now responsible for this program with Sister Zi Xing and Northern Lights Video Side docking.”

Xu Zijun nodded and said, "We have put a lot of effort into inviting these twelve scholars, who are all top scholars in our country."

Lu Yanhe was a little curious and asked, "Isn't there anyone else trying to imitate similar programs?"

This kind of program is extremely low-cost to produce and rarely copied.

Chen Siqi said: "Lighthouse Video tried to copy it, but failed miserably. The number of views per episode was not even 50,000. Later, everyone gave up. Such programs without celebrities or stars are too easy to become niche. Oh, by the way, many TV stations have contacted us many times, asking us if we plan to make a sequel, and want to ask us for the copyright. They want to make a second season. After knowing that we want to do it ourselves, they want to buy the copyright again."

Lu Yanhe said: "What do you say? Did you give it to them?"

"Northern Lights refused." Chen Siqi said, "They insisted on broadcasting it exclusively."

Lu Yanhe said: "It is not a loss to sell this kind of program to TV stations for broadcasting together. I don't think it will affect the data of online broadcasting, and it may even promote it. After all, the middle-aged and elderly groups are the main force of TV station audiences, but not the main force of video platforms."

Chen Siqi spread his hands and said helplessly: "Northern Lights Video would rather increase the purchase price than broadcast it together with TV stations."

Lu Yanhe sighed when he heard this.

He also understood the approach of Northern Lights Video.

For video platforms, they all have a very similar concept, that is, the significance of exclusive broadcasting to the platform.

It seems that only exclusive broadcasting can attract more viewers to this platform.

This is because of the different profit models.

For video platforms, the more users they have and the larger the scale of paying users, the economic benefits generated are not simply "1+1=2", but exponential growth.

In the online world, the relationship between the number of users and value is like this, they are not addition and subtraction, but multiplication and division.

-

After dinner and drinking some wine, they were all a little tipsy.

They moved to KTV again.

When young people go to KTV to sing, it is really pure singing.

One after another, no one pursues singing beautifully. More often, everyone sings various songs together in a funny way.

Then, some people began to feel a little tired and couldn't sing anymore, so they lay down on the sofa.

At this time, KTV entered the special session of love songs and slow songs.

The girls took the microphone.

Lu Yanhe, Li Pengfei and Chen Qin withdrew from this world, left the box, and went to buy them food and drinks.

Li Pengfei hooked his arm around Lu Yanhe's neck and said, "Just now when we were having dinner, I heard you guys talking about "Jump Up". Suddenly, it was a pity. If I had worked with you on "Jump Up", although this was not something I was interested in, it would have been quite interesting to play with you."

"I told you a long time ago, but you didn't believe me at the time." Lu Yanhe said, "It's not too late for you to join now."

"Forget it, join now." Li Pengfei shook his head, very melancholy, "But I haven't really thought clearly about what I'm going to do after graduation."

Lu Yanhe: "Have you really not thought clearly about what you're going to do in the future?"

"Really? Didn't I tell you a long time ago? I really haven't thought about working from nine to five in the future." Li Pengfei sighed, "But now that I think about it, this is actually not right."

Lu Yanhe: "Not right?"

Li Pengfei said, "If I don't find a class to attend, it's also boring to be idle every day. I often feel bored now."

"Do you know how much hatred you're saying?" Lu Yanhe retorted.

Chen Qin said silently beside him: "If I had a sack in my hand now, I would definitely put it on his head."

Lu Yanhe: "Look."

Li Pengfei: "I'll shut up."

Lu Yanhe: "But, I'm serious, Brother Fei, if you haven't figured out what you want to do, find a job that you don't dislike, don't wait and wait until the end of time."

"I don't want to either. I know some friends whose families are also quite rich. They really don't go to work for a day. They don't do anything else every day, just eat, drink and have fun." Li Pengfei sighed, "In fact, I could have been happy from such a life."

"Then why can't you be happy now? Are you in Versailles? I'm really jealous." Chen Qin said.

Li Pengfei: "Who made you all have your own careers? It makes me feel like I'm a stupid and superficial rich second generation if I don't find a good job. If I didn't have the stimulation of you friends, I wouldn't care about the value and meaning of life. Oh my god."

He slapped himself on the forehead.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Qin were both shocked by Li Pengfei's sudden "selfie".

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yanhe looked at him suspiciously and asked.

Li Pengfei muttered: "I don't know whether I should sigh, whether I met the wrong person or the right person."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

It was still the same Li Pengfei, and still the same dog-like look.

Chen Qin couldn't help it and couldn't stop laughing.

"I really give up." Chen Qin said.

Lu Yanhe wanted to say something, but when he heard Chen Qin say this with a smile, he also laughed for a moment and was too lazy to say anything.

Li Pengfei muttered, let him be.

He just had that broken mouth, and it has been like that since high school.

-

"Hey - Lu Yanhe -"

A surprised voice suddenly sounded.

Lu Yanhe subconsciously thought he had met a fan.

In this small shop in the KTV, Lu Yanhe turned his head in surprise, and then was even more surprised to find that it was really true that people meet everywhere in life.

It turned out to be their high school classmate, Mei Ping.

"Mei Ping!" Lu Yanhe looked at the other person in surprise and almost didn't recognize her.

"Hey, Li Pengfei! Chen Qin!" Mei Ping's face was full of incredible surprise and she patted the shoulders of the three of them, "What are you three doing here to have a party!"

"This is our last winter vacation, and we are not allowed to get together?" Li Pengfei looked at Mei Ping and snorted twice, "How dare you say that? I heard that you are getting married soon?"

Mei Ping was still the impetuous person she was back then. She immediately widened her eyes and looked at Li Pengfei in shock, asking, "How did you know?"

Li Pengfei: "How could I not know? This news is not sure that it will be spread? When are you getting married, why didn't you send us the invitation?"

Mei Ping smiled and said, "My wedding is not held in Yuming, so how can I send you an invitation, so that I have to ask you for money."

"Where is your wedding held?"

"Jiangjin." Mei Ping said, "My boyfriend is from Jiangjin."

"Is your boyfriend a classmate?" Li Pengfei asked.

"Yes, college classmates." Mei Ping nodded, "When the time comes, I may just hold a simple wedding ceremony in Yuming, just in a small circle, with some of my relatives and family members, so I thought I wouldn't tell you, it's July, everyone has just graduated and started working, so they are busy."

Li Pengfei: "You are so considerate."

The sarcasm was so obvious.

Mei Ping clenched her fist and gestured, meaning that if Li Pengfei kept whining, she would take action.

Lu Yanhe looked at Mei Ping with a smile and said, "Congratulations, you are the first one in our class to get married."

Mei Ping showed a very happy smile on her face.

"The main reason is that he is going to study abroad in September. I don't want to wait for him foolishly, so I told him. He should either give me an explanation or we should call it quits." Mei Ping said, "He will study abroad for two or three years. I don't want to wait for him like a husband waiting for his wife."

"Oh my god, so are you going with him or what?" Li Pengfei asked, "We will be separated now, right?"

Mei Ping said, "I won't go with him. I want to build a career."

"Have you found a job?"

"Yes, Jiangjin Bank." Mei Ping said, "Give me some savings when the time comes so that I can complete the task."

Li Pengfei clicked his tongue several times.

"By the way, Linyu, Zijun, Baiyu and others are here too." Lu Yanhe said, "Are you here with friends tonight? Go meet them."

Mei Ping was surprised, "Really? Send me the box number, I'll come over later. I've been out for a while, I have to go back and say hello. I'm not here with friends, tonight our university's Yuming people organized a party."

Lu Yanhe and the others nodded.

-

Old classmates reunited after a long time, even if the relationship was not that close back then, this feeling is different.

About half an hour later, Mei Ping came over.

For the scene of the girls meeting, Lu Yanhe has always had an indescribable "sense of awe".

He really wanted to know why they could chat together as soon as they met, from heaven to earth, without any strangeness or estrangement after not seeing each other for a long time, as if they were sitting together for dinner and chatting last night.

Oh, no, Li Pengfei also has this ability.

Lu Yanhe said to Chen Qin: "Only you and I are more socially anxious."

Chen Qin looked at him in shock and asked: "Huh?"

Lu Yanhe asked: "Aren't you socially anxious?"

"I won't mention whether I am socially anxious or not, what makes you say you are socially anxious?" Chen Qin questioned, "No wonder Linyu said that you are sometimes too inaccurate in your positioning of yourself."

Lu Yanhe: "... Inaccurate where?"

Chen Qin: "Self-deprecation."

Wow, isn't this the word Chen Ziyan said about him?

Lu Yanhe: "..."

I don't know what the girls said. After a while, when Mei Ping left, she had already said "Then it's settled" and left with a smile on her face.

"What's settled?" Lu Yanhe asked Chen Siqi.

Because she was not from their class, Chen Siqi was the only girl who didn't join the chat so enthusiastically just now.

Chen Siqi said, "They said that the whole class should organize a party together during the Chinese New Year."

Lu Yanhe: "Oh, Li Pengfei said so too."

"The atmosphere in your class is quite good, much better than ours." Chen Siqi smiled, "We have never gathered since graduation."

Lu Yanhe: "Then you should integrate into our class. Anyway, you are familiar with all of us."

Chen Siqi: "That's the only way."

-

At one o'clock in the morning, they finished their party and were ready to leave.

"Zijun, don't go back tonight, sleep with me." Chen Siqi said.

Xu Zijun lives far away, and it will take more than an hour to go back now.

Li Pengfei must see him off. It's even farther to go there and back.

Xu Zijun nodded, "Okay."

Lu Yanhe and Li Pengfei sent them back to the hotel and said goodbye to the others at the entrance of the KTV.

Chen Qin suddenly pointed across the street and reminded Lu Yanhe: "There seem to be paparazzi there, some with cameras."

Lu Yanhe looked over and saw two familiar faces, they must be paparazzi.

He raised his hand and gestured to them.

"Ignore them and let's go."

Everyone dispersed.

"Hey -" Li Pengfei suddenly shouted to the two paparazzi across the road, "If you also take a photo of us, give us a P!"

Lu Yanhe and the others were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

The paparazzi across the road looked at each other in confusion and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Finally, one of them complained to the person next to him: "What the hell!"

-

"Super relaxed star."

"I've never seen a star who doesn't regard himself as a star more than he does."

"A sense of relaxation that only top stars can have."

…

On the Internet, a video of Lu Yanhe coming out of a KTV to compete with paparazzi cameras after a party with his classmates was circulated online, making all his fans "cute".

That's the word they used.

"'Squid Game' is still airing, and the main creators are working non-stop to promote it. He is the only one who still has time to get together with his classmates." Someone complained.

Someone immediately said: "He is a screenwriter, and he has done his job well by writing excellent scripts. What are you doing? Yan He is here to do publicity? He is doing publicity, and what about the exposure of your brother Zefan? Come on?" When you are black, remember to hide your attributes first, so as not to be embarrassed. "

"The one above is Ze Fan's swindler. Sisters, don't be drawn into a fight. We Ze Fan fans are very grateful to Yan He for choosing him to play "Squid Game". Heizi will kill the whole family!"

…

Just like this colorful world, even if the Internet world turns over and over again and always remains the same, it will still not make some people lose their interest in playing.

Lu Yanhe brushed through these lackluster news and became increasingly indifferent to the content.

Basically it can't cause any fluctuations in his heart.

This kind of mentality like that of an old monk who has entered samadhi is really cultivated over time.

By the time "Squid Game" aired its sixth episode on Northern Lights Video, the cumulative number of viewers had exceeded 32 million, breaking the record for the fastest number of viewers to reach 30 million.

However, unlike many of Lu Yanhe's previous high-reputation dramas, "Squid Game" has attracted many people's doubts this time.

Many people say that although the drama "Squid Game" is well-produced, the script is actually a very simple and boring script, and the story has nothing new. If it weren't for such a configuration, the show would never have become so popular.

There are many people who agree with this statement.

However, these comments were expected by Lu Yanhe. The original version itself was not a highly praised drama.

Fire is enough.

Jiang Jun, Jiang Yuqian and Liu Zefan grabbed the three biggest dividends of this drama.

Especially Jiang Jun, he became famous almost overnight.

The middle-aged down-and-out man he played in this drama was praised by everyone as "not acting like a fake".

If you can be praised for your acting skills in such a type of drama, then your acting is really good enough.

Chen Ziyan said: "In such a popular drama, basically whoever plays the role will become popular. You had to give this role to Jiang Jun. Did you ever think that it would be so popular today?"

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Teacher Jiang Jun to play the role." Lu Yanhe laughed, "How great, he even came to our "Wulin Biography" to play the role of Mr. It’s a star cast.”

Chen Ziyan: "With your current appeal, you can create an all-star cast for basically every drama."

Lu Yanhe: "Several people came to me and asked me if there are any characters suitable for them in the second season of "Squid Game."

Indeed, judging from the first season, except for the male protagonist and the old villain behind the scenes, as well as the male policeman played by Liu Zefan, everyone else in the protagonist group is dead.

There will definitely be many new characters appearing in the second season.

Chen Ziyan asked: "What do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas yet, and the script hasn't been written yet," Lu Yanhe said. "However, I definitely still want to make this kind of level challenge mode in the second season, and a new batch of contestants are indeed needed."

Chen Ziyan: "Then there will indeed be some new characters coming out. If you organize auditions then, the entire entertainment industry will probably break their heads."

Lu Yanhe: "Let's write the script first. Once the script is written, we can talk about other things."

Chen Ziyan: "If Jiang Jun and Liu Zefan's characters are to return, what will happen to Jiang Yuqian? Her character is dead."

Lu Yanhe: "Let me think about it, I don't want to use a twin joke to keep Sister Yuqian until the second season. This is very stupid."

"That's true." Chen Ziyan nodded.

"There is no need to insist that any character must stay." Lu Yanhe said, "I should consider it from the perspective of how to write a good-looking story. I will not consider other things."

"This is right." Chen Ziyan nodded in approval.

Chen Ziyan: "The production company of "Angry Crow" contacted me. They said that Erlangxia was very interested in the story of "Squid Game" and asked if it was possible to obtain a license. They wanted to develop an original film in this world view. animated story."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Really? Yes, of course." Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Ziyan: "Well, I also think this is a good cooperation. Their animation production capabilities are second to none in China."

Lu Yanhe: "I like the animation "Angry Crow" very much. Do they want to develop it into an animated movie or an animated series?"

"They haven't thought about it yet." Chen Ziyan said, "I hope they can develop it into an animated movie. I think this story is actually very suitable for development into a movie series."

"Maybe one day someone will want to develop it into a movie, but it's definitely not now." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "It's pretty good. Some people want to adapt a story into comics, some people want to adapt it into animation, and some people want to adapt it into a comic. Doing other developments and these collaborations can extend the life of this story and allow it to be seen by more people.”

Chen Ziyan: "Your works are indeed very popular in this regard. However, I understand that "Squid Game" is so popular. The subject matter is destined to be popular. "Rouge Button", a somewhat literary love story, is also so popular. It’s so popular, I really didn’t expect that even Thailand would want to remake it.”

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe looked surprised.

"You didn't expect it, did you? I didn't expect it either." Chen Ziyan shrugged, "I was very surprised when Xu Tianming and Chen Yin brought back the news."

Lu Yanhe: "Does this story have a unique charm, or is the Audience Choice Award at the Hollywood Film Festival influential enough? This makes me want to send all my films to the Hollywood Film Festival."

"If you send a movie like "Path of Glory" to the Jose Film Festival, it will be used as cannon fodder." Chen Ziyan laughed, "What the Jose Film Festival dislikes the most is this kind of movie that is a bit boring and the story is not fast enough. ”

It’s true that different film festivals support different films.

Chen Ziyan: "But don't tell me yet. The Jose Film Festival has been asking me about the progress of your "Love Letter", and they still want to bring "Love Letter" to their place for its premiere."

Lu Yanhe is not surprised at all that the Jose Film Festival is paying close attention to "Love Letter".

The Josei Film Festival itself is positioned as a feature film that is popular with the public. The theme of "Love Letter" and such a creative lineup are simply tailor-made for the Josei Film Festival.

In addition, there is another very important reason.

"Love Letter" is Lu Yanhe's first directorial work.

In fact, the first work of an actor-turned-director, as long as it is not a commercial blockbuster, is basically very popular at top international film festivals.

Many people have not noticed this. In fact, you can find out if you look at the works of famous actors who became directors for the first time and look at their resumes.

Lu Yanhe knew that a movie with a theme and core like "Love Letter" would have almost no chance of winning an award even if it was forced to go to a film festival like Situer. Only at the Jose Film Festival could it find its largest audience.

Lu Yanhe said: ""Love Letter" was originally intended for the Jose Film Festival."

If the Jose Film Festival is interested in this film, of course Lu Yanhe is willing.

Chen Ziyan said: "However, it is strange to say that with your resume in international film festivals, you should have entered their field of vision now. Why hasn't any film festival invited you to be a judge?"

Lu Yanhe: "Me? Judge? I'm so young, who would invite me to be a judge?"

Chen Ziyan: "Then don't underestimate yourself. You are young, but you have enough works."

She took a deep breath, pondered for a moment in confusion, and came up with her conjecture: "They don't have your contact information and can't contact you, right?"

Lu Yanhe does not have a brokerage company overseas. It is really difficult for those overseas to contact him.

Chen Ziyan's thoughts are not unfounded.

"Don't think about it. Even if they ask me to be a judge now, I may not have time. Look at my schedule for next year. It feels like it will be my busiest year." Lu Yanhe said.

"It's okay. You used to be able to film four movies a year while studying. Now you don't have to go to class, so you have more time." Chen Ziyan said, "I will coordinate the time for you."

Lu Yanhe: "Sister Ziyan, you won't arrange other jobs for me on the basis of the current one, right?"

"We don't have such a plan at the moment, but we won't rule it out." Chen Ziyan said, "I have my eye on a project and I want to get it for you. I don't know if I can get it smoothly."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

It's not his fault. Are there any projects in China that he needs to grab now? Almost all movie scripts on the market now, as long as the protagonist is suitable for him, he will read it. Every film company lists him as a first-tier member of their collaboration list.

"Overseas projects?" Lu Yanhe asked.

That's all he could think.

"No, it's a domestic project." Chen Ziyan said, "But it has a strong background, and even you may not be the first one they consider."

Lu Yanhe asked: "What project is it?"

"This is a new film directed by Gong Jiang, who has won the Best Director Award at the West Tour International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival." Chen Ziyan said.

As soon as the name came out of Chen Ziyan's mouth, Lu Yanhe immediately understood why Chen Ziyan valued this movie project so much, and why she even wanted to snatch it from him.

Let's put it this way, maybe every country has one or two great directors who are world-renowned and are recognized as being written into the history of world cinema before they die.

Gong Jiang is such a director.

He has made a total of seven films, among which he has won the highest award at the four major international film festivals once, the Best Director Award twice, and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film once.

Such a legendary director, he is the only one in China.

His new movie is indeed as Chen Ziyan said, no matter how top movie stars are, no one can say that they will definitely be able to act in it.

Not to mention a young actor like Lu Yanhe who has only been around for a few years and whose achievements are nothing compared to Gong Jiang.

In fact, few of the classic movies recognized in the world are grand narratives. Gong Jiang is the kind of director who hates grand narratives and focuses on grand themes like life and destiny.

"A director like him doesn't choose actors based on your box office appeal or popularity." Chen Ziyan said, "Almost no one can influence his thoughts. Everything depends on his own thoughts. "

Lu Yanhe asked: "What kind of movie is he planning to make? Is there any news now?"

"Not at all." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "Shang Yongzhou told me this news. He received a call from the assistant director who has been working with Gong Jiang all year round, saying that Gong Jiang wanted to meet him and mentioned about a new project. "

When Lu Yanhe heard this, he hesitated and said, "In this case, do we have to take the initiative to fight for it? Since he didn't hold an audition publicly -"

"Of course we didn't come to you rashly and said we wanted to participate." Chen Ziyan waved her hand, "Just leave this matter alone for now. I will follow up on this matter. I will tell you when there is news."

Lu Yanhe: "You suddenly dropped a bomb on me. I will always be thinking about it."

"Nonsense, as long as you are an actor, who would know about this and not miss it?" Chen Ziyan said, "That's Gong Jiang!"

Lu Yanhe: "I have been in the industry for so long and I have never seen him before."

"He lives in seclusion, and most people can't see him."

-

If given the opportunity to act in a play directed by Gong Jiang, Lu Yanhe would really put down everything he was doing and go all out to act.

Lu Yanhe discovered that he still had some filters for the director.

"Vulgar." He complained to himself.

But that’s what it’s like to be an actor.

He thought to himself that if he were an actor in the original time and space, he would also have filters for directors like Wong Kar-Wai and Park Chan-wook.

He admitted that he was a bit of a literary youth.

Even if they get sick, the box office of 5 billion is not as good as the impact one of their movies has left in their acting career.

-

Episode after episode of Squidward is coming.

Snow falls one after another.

Probably because Director Gong Jiang was filming a new film, Lu Yanhe was a little excited at night and didn't feel sleepy, so he didn't fall asleep at one o'clock in the morning. He simply got out of bed, opened his notebook and started writing the script.

He ignored the unfinished scripts and wrote "Dragon Inn" instead.

The version of "Dragon Gate Inn" starring Tony Leung Ka Fai, Brigitte Lin Qingxia, and Maggie Cheung is one of the best martial arts films in Lu Yanhe's eyes. In his mind, it is better than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is good, but it is not the pure Chinese martial arts in his mind.

"Dragon Inn" is Lu Yanhe's vision of Chinese martial arts rooted in traditional Chinese culture.

In the middle of the night while writing, Yan Liang suddenly knocked on the door.

Lu Yanhe woke up from a dream and looked back at him.

"You haven't slept yet?" Yan Liang got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. He saw that light was still leaking from the crack in the door of Lu Yanhe's room, so he knocked on the door, bleary-eyed.

"I'm excited." Lu Yanhe said, "Writing a script."

Yan Liang nodded, did not ask any more questions, and yawned, "I went back to sleep."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Only after being reminded by Yan Liang did he realize that it was already late at night, and the world was so quiet that the snowflakes were falling.

Lu Yanhe shook his head, stretched, and continued to look at the screen attentively and type on the keyboard.

Fingertips dance across the keyboard.

Until the sentence "They galloped forward, the sand and dust rose up in the sound of horse hooves, and in a blur, their figures disappeared into the depths of the vast desert" was written, Lu Yanhe slumped on the back of his chair with relief.

It's already ten past six in the morning.

It's still dark.

Lu Yanhe rubbed his wrist, turned his neck, and heard a crisp "click" sound.

I have long wanted to write the script of "Dragon Inn", but I have never done it. Unexpectedly, this night, I suddenly wrote it in one breath, like a shot of chicken blood.

Lu Yanhe felt his eyes were dry, but he was not sleepy at all.

Instead, he was excited.

He felt like he wanted to share this story right away.

He got up and went out to wash his face.

Special cold water for washing.

The water was bone-chillingly cold.

But the water splashed on his face made him feel particularly comfortable.

Yan Liang also got up.

He has a habit of running in the morning, but it's snowing today and he can't run.

"You haven't slept all night, have you?" Yan Liang looked at Lu Yanhe sitting in the living room eating an apple in surprise and asked.

Lu Yanhe ate the apples with a crunching sound.

He nodded: "I haven't slept yet. Are you going to eat some noodles?"

Yan Liang nodded.

He looked at Lu Yanhe in bewilderment, "I'm so convinced. You didn't sleep all night, and you look more energetic than me."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"Yan Liang, I wrote a particularly awesome script."

Yan Liang looked at him in surprise, "What script?"

Lu Yanhe said, "Wait until I print it out. I should install a printer in my room."

Yan Liang nodded, "I also want to get a treadmill."

Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Then let's buy it after breakfast."

Yan Liang said, "It's so cold, people may not open so early."

Lu Yanhe pursed his lips, as if a little disappointed.

"Have you brushed your teeth?"

"I... didn't sleep again."

"Don't you need to brush your teeth if you don't sleep?" Yan Liang looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.

Lu Yanhe: "Oh, yes, you need to brush."

Yan Liang: "... You just gave me the feeling that you are Li Zhibai."

"You must have been infected by him, and your brain is not working well." Lu Yanhe shirked responsibility without hesitation.

Yan Liang: "Come back after breakfast and catch up on your sleep."

"I'm not sleepy at all."

"Do you believe that you will fall asleep in less than a minute after lying down?"

"Impossible!" Lu Yanhe shouted.

Yan Liang: "Go in and lie down now. If you don't fall asleep in one minute, I'll take your surname."

"Okay, Lu Liang, wait until you change your surname." Lu Yanhe said and he went.

One minute later, Yan Liang stood at the door of his room and looked at Lu Yanhe lying on the bed.

The latter closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this scene, Yan Liang was so angry that he laughed.

He took out his mobile phone, took a photo of Lu Yanhe sleeping soundly on the bed, and posted it on Weibo, saying: This person didn't sleep all night and wrote a script. He was so excited that he opened his eyes wide and said he was very energetic and couldn't sleep. He also said he wanted to go downstairs with me to eat noodles. I bet him that he would fall asleep in less than a minute when his head touched the pillow. He opened his eyes energetically and said it was impossible. Now the one minute time is up, what else can I say? Facts speak louder than words. (End of this chapter)
