Rebirth Turn

The end of the year is approaching, and this year, Lu Yan has been busy. Although there are still not many works in film and television, there are only one TV series and two movies, but one album and one concert are enough for him. After half a year of tossing, plus all kinds of commercials, endorsements, appearances on shows, interviews, magazine shoots, etc., there is hardly any idle time.

Lu Yan is not dissatisfied with such a working state. The job of an artist is nothing more than to expose himself to the public as much as possible.It's just that compared to others, Lu Yan prefers to spend more time and energy on acting. After all, this is the biggest reason why he stepped into this circle and persisted no matter it was difficult or smooth.

But Lu Yan knows how realistic this circle is. If you don't have enough fame and influence, no matter how good your acting skills are, it will be difficult to survive. The former Lu Yan has proved this with his low tide of more than ten years. a little.What Lu Yan wants now is not only to survive in this circle, but to stand at the top, so that he can have more rights and qualifications to control his acting career and fulfill his dreams.So before that, Lu Yan had to spend more time on these trivial things that could help him reach the peak.

Qin Feng tapped a piece of note on the table with a phone number and a few lines written on it, and said with a smile, "This is your last job a year ago, and you can take a vacation after that. There is no arrangement for you this Spring Festival , spend time with your girlfriend." Qin Feng blinked, with an expression that you don't need to be too grateful for how kind I am.

Lu Yan smiled. This is indeed good news. He has not forgotten that he promised Su Mo to go back to Su's old house with him on New Year's Eve, but right now it is more important to finish the work first. "What kind of work?"

"It's not such a complicated thing, but it's very important," Qin Feng leaned forward, ""Zhizu GQ" invites you to shoot a cover for their magazine."

""Zhizu GQ"? Are you sure?" Lu Yan asked.

"Of course, you are worth enough to be on the cover now, Cannes Best Actor. Besides, isn't the film "Absolute Secret Order" that you filmed with Han Yuan years ago is about to be released, the timing is just right."

Although "Absolute Secret Order" was filmed in the first half of the year, the director Xu Wei is a particularly picky person. In addition, the film has a lot of special effects in the post-production period, so it has been delayed until the end of the year. The most important month before this is Lu Yan. My job is to follow around and spread the word.

Lu Yan nodded, "When is the time?"

"This weekend." After Qin Feng finished speaking, he laughed again, "Lu Yan, it's time to take off."

Lu Yan also smiled, "You are right."

It's not that Lu Yan has never photographed magazine covers before, but they are all second- and third-tier magazines, which are incomparable with domestic first-tier magazines like "Zhizu GQ".The fashion circle is the most powerful place. It doesn’t matter what films you have made, whether your acting skills are good or not, or even what awards you have won. It only depends on what magazines you have appeared in, whether it is first-line or several-line, inside page or cover, single-page People or people.So being able to appear on the cover of first-line magazines is a symbol of strength and status.Being on the front line may not immediately prove that you are the first line, but at least you have the qualifications to compete.

Regardless of whether he is famous or not, whether he is worth a lot or not, Lu Yan never likes to be late and won't take Joe.This is not only because he does not want to give people the impression of throwing big names, but also because this is his attitude towards work.Whether he used to work part-time for tuition and living expenses, or is now a star, acting, doing shows, or taking pictures, this is his job, and he has always taken his work seriously and worked hard.

At the appointed time, Lu Yan arrived at the appointed place on time, and the work efficiency of the first-line magazines was also very high. Makeup artists, stylists, photographers, and other staff were all in place.

Today's makeup artist is Li Hongyu, a well-known male makeup artist in the industry.It is said that a boring person once ranked the top male makeup artists in China, and Li Hongyu not only entered the top ten, but was also in the top five.Although this kind of ranking can be regarded as the opinion of a family, it can explain some problems to some extent.

In the general people's impression, male makeup artists seem to be more or less motherly, but Li Hongyu is definitely not motherly, and even a little bit manly, but the dress fits people's impression and is very fashionable.

Lu Yan also knew Li Hongyu, although today was the first time they met, obviously the other party was the same.

Li Hongyu smiled at Lu Yan and said hello, "Mr. Lu, I'm Li Hongyu, your makeup artist today."

"Hello, I'm Lu Yan." Lu Yan also briefly introduced.

"Mr. Lu himself is much more handsome than he looks on the screen." Li Hongyu complimented him.

"Thank you. Mr. Li is different from what most people think of makeup artists." Lu Yan said directly.

"Because I'm more manly, isn't it? In fact, most of my colleagues like to dress like that just to make others trust their profession more. It seems that everyone thinks that good male makeup artists have to dress like that." Li Hongyu laughed. .

"What about Mr. Li?" Lu Yan asked.

"Me, I prefer to speak with facts." Li Hongyu laughed a few times, "Just call me Lee, it's too polite to call Mr. Li."

"Okay, then you can just call me Lu Yan."

"OK, Lu Yan, you are as easy to get along with as the rumors say, I believe our cooperation today will be very pleasant."

"I believe too."

Many smart makeup artists like to chat with their work partners before work. On the one hand, they can eliminate the strangeness, and on the other hand, they can also get some information about the other party's personality and behavior from this short time together, which will help them to complete their work better.Li Hongyu is obviously very good at this, and Lu Yan is also very cooperative.

When he started to put on makeup, Li Hongyu was really more comfortable. He kept praising Lu Yan for his good skin. He didn't need to apply too thick foundation, which made it easier to create a translucent effect. He also asked what kind of skin care Lu Yan usually used Taste.

Lu Yan answered honestly that he rarely uses skin care products, only when filming, he would use some sunscreen products or moisturizing masks according to the weather.

Li Hongyu was speechless for a while, then exclaimed, "It's really a natural beauty."However, he also advised Lu Yan that the nature of his work is different after all, and he must be exposed to cosmetics frequently, and the cosmetics used under the spotlight are somewhat harmful to the skin. Besides, when actors are filming, they often have to be exposed to wind, sun and rain. Still need to pay more attention to maintenance.By the way, I also gave Lu Yan some knowledge about male cosmetics, and recommended some things that are suitable for him.

Lu Yan's reaction was okay. Song Hui who was at the side had already quickly written down those things with the notepad on his mobile phone.

Lu Yan asked strangely, "Since when did you care so much about skin care products?"

Song Hui chuckled, "As a gold medal assistant, the boss's skin care should also be within the scope of daily work. Brother Lu, don't worry, I will take care of these things for you."

Lu Yan was speechless.

Li Hongyu laughed, "Lu Yan, your assistant is really interesting, but what he said is also very reasonable. It seems that you not only have a gold medal manager, but also a gold medal assistant. Congratulations."

Song Hui climbed up the pole and asked for Li Hongyu's contact information by the way, saying that it would be convenient to ask for advice if he had any questions in the future.Li Hongyu really had a good impression of Song Hui, so he quickly called and Koukou, saying that he could ask him any questions about this in the future.

Lu Yan was pleased with Song Hui's increasingly excellent social skills.

Lu Yan was very satisfied with the effect of makeup, and said that she deserves to be a top makeup artist in the industry.

Afterwards, the stylist created a good look for Lu Yan. The bangs that were not long were combed up to form a fixed look. He wore a white shirt on his upper body, which was naturally sponsored by a big brand. A black tie was hung but not fastened. .It turned out that the full-fledged elite fan seemed free and unrestrained because of this magical stroke.

The concave shape was a bit difficult, probably because it was the first time to cooperate, and both the photographer and Lu Yan needed some adaptation.At the beginning, I felt awkward no matter how I fiddled with it, and the effect of shooting was not ideal.Fortunately, we are all professionals, a professional shooter and a professional being photographed. After two hours of running in, I slowly found the feeling, and then it became smooth.

After the shooting, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the rumors that photographers with similar attributes will improve the quality of shooting really make sense.

Lu Yan couldn't help but think of Ren Yanfei who had worked with him back then, and remembered that their cooperation at that time was full of tacit understanding, and they basically entered the state without much running-in.Afterwards, Lu Yan also cooperated with many excellent photographers, but none of them had such a hearty feeling.

I don't know where the photographer who likes to travel is now, and if I still remember their slightly joking agreement at that time.And when will I be eligible to have an exclusive photographer.

Not long after the cover photo was taken, Lu Yan received a sample issue from the magazine, and the cover effect was really good.The corner of Lu Yan's mouth curled into a faint smile, and he stared forward with affectionate eyes, looking elegant, mature and charming.

Lu Yan posted a message on Weibo when it was finalized to shoot the cover of "GQ", and then posted a photo that was discarded by the magazine.These two microblogs were retweeted a lot by fans, eager to tell the world that their male god was on the cover of a top men's magazine.Those who are knowledgeable naturally know what this means, and because it is the first time, they are extra excited.When Lu Yan was featured on the cover of the first-line men's magazine, the fans were quite calm.

After the last job a year ago ended, Lu Yan directly gave Song Hui a leave of absence and asked him to go home early for the New Year.It's a pity that years ago was the busiest time for all companies, so even though Lu Yan was free, Su Mo was still so busy that he hardly stayed home, and the two of them still didn't have more time to be together.

Taking advantage of these few days, Lu Yan visited Zhu Yuchi and other seniors.After a concert, not only did they become close friends, Lu Yan even respected Mr. Zhu as his teacher.Once, I happened to meet Kong Xiange who also came to visit the teacher at Mr. Zhu's home. Kong Xiange said that although he didn't have time to watch the performance of the teachers in person, he saw the video later and praised Lu Yan's performance. Plus, even offered to cooperate when there is an opportunity.

Naturally, Lu Yan would not reject such a proposal. It would be very beneficial to him to cooperate with the most popular "Piano Prince" in the country.

Mr. Zhu was also very happy when he heard this. He said that he and Wang Chong had often cooperated back then, and they were the best partners. He did not expect that their students would have the opportunity to work together 30 years later. This is fate, and it is so exciting.

The three drank together that day, and ended up staying overnight at Zhu's hometown.A male god in the classical music world and a male god in the entertainment industry established their initial friendship in this way.

On New Year's Eve, Su Mo finally finished all his business affairs, and Lu Yan also welcomed the day of seeing the Su family in a mood of anticipation and nervousness.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Mo drove Lu Yan to the Su family's old house.

Seeing that Lu Yan made himself extra refreshing and charming, Su Mo couldn't help but smile, knowing that it was because his lover valued this meeting, valued his family, and in the final analysis, it was because he valued him.

"You don't need to be so cautious. What I want to see today are my uncles and brothers. They are not all fuel-efficient lamps, and they may not be very friendly to you. But don't worry, I am here for everything, and their Opinions have absolutely no bearing on my decision."

Lu Yan grasped the meaning of his words and asked, "Then whose opinion can influence your decision? Your parents?"

Su Mo nodded, "Yes. And you are the only person other than them who can influence my decision."

Lu Yan thought for a while, and then said, "Then, suppose, I mean suppose, suppose they are still alive and object to us being together, what would you do?"

Su Mo was silent for a while, then said firmly, "I will prove to them that my decision is correct. And my parents have always respected my opinions and decisions."

"Then suppose they just objected and insisted that we separate?" Lu Yan continued.

Su Mo smiled, "There is no such assumption at all. But if you must give an answer, then my answer is no. Unless it is your request, no one can make me leave you."

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes happily, as if I knew what he was saying.

"So what about you, if someone asks you to leave me, what would you do?" Su Mo also asked politely.

Lu Yan stared into his eyes and said word by word, "No one can influence my decision, not even my parents. No one can change what I decide except myself."

Su Mo lowered his eyes, then raised his head, looked at him and said seriously, "Then I hope that your decision is to stay with me forever."

"Exactly!" Lu Yan smiled brilliantly.

It was still early when we arrived at the Su family's old house, so Su Mo took Lu Yan around for a tour.

This is the first time for Lu Yan to visit the Su family's old house. It occupies a large area, with a large courtyard in front, beautifully manicured flowers and plants, and a large bamboo forest in the back. It is winter now, and it feels a bit bleak, but Lu Yan I believe that when spring and summer come, it must be a beautiful scene.According to Su Mo, this bamboo forest was planted by his father for his mother, because his mother's favorite plant in her life is bamboo.

The main building is a small three-story villa, which is not high, but occupies a large area.The first floor is the dining room plus the living room; the second floor is the master's bedroom and study.There are three bedrooms, one for Su Mo's parents. Although they are no longer there, the brothers still keep the room intact. They are cleaned every day by a special person, without moving a piece of furniture inside, as if the owner will come back at any time Live in general.The other two are naturally the bedrooms of the brothers Su Jue and Su Mo.There are also two study rooms; the third floor is the guest room plus the servant's room.

There are not many servants in the Su family. Aunt Fang basically takes on the duties of cook and housekeeper; a driver has basically become Aunt Fang's exclusive driver now; a gardener is responsible for taking care of all the plants in the old house. , is an elderly man, but he is very energetic, and his work is no worse than that of young people; the other is the three helpers, who are mainly responsible for cleaning and occasionally helping Aunt Fang.

The population of the Su family is simple, and the personnel affairs are not complicated. In addition, there is no mistress at home, and the two young masters are often not at home. Basically, Aunt Fang has the final say on some trivial matters.

Aunt Fang is an old man of the Su family, she has followed Su Mo's parents since she was a girl.Later, she was also married, and the relationship between the husband and wife was very good. Unfortunately, her husband was short-lived and passed away very early, so Aunt Fang returned to the Su family again.Originally, Su Mo's parents planned to let her remarry, but she didn't have that intention.Later, after the two young masters were born, she loved her so much and devoted herself to taking care of the two children. She never wanted to remarry, and she cried when she mentioned it, asking whether the two masters didn't want her anymore and wanted to let her go. Later, Su Mo's parents didn't dare to mention it anymore.In this way, Aunt Fang stayed at the Su family. She watched Su Mo and Su Jue grow up. They are called masters and servants, but they are relatives. Especially after Su Mo's parents passed away, they felt like they depended on each other. .

Aunt Fang and Lu Yan have known each other for a long time, and when he knew that Lu Yan would follow Su Mo back for a reunion dinner, he was very happy.I offered incense to Su Mo's parents early on, telling them that the eldest and young master finally found a companion, and he will not be alone in the future. Thank God, Mr. Lu is also a very good person. They are really a match made in heaven. Spirits must bless and bless them.

The Su family's family style is open-minded, and Aunt Fang is also very open-minded.Coupled with these years of exposure to the Internet, under the influence of my ears and eyes, I have long accepted the relationship between men and women.She feels that as long as two people really love each other, it is good to be together, gender is not important.As for the reproduction of offspring, since technology is so advanced now, surrogacy is not easy.

When Lu Yan arrived, Aunt Fang didn't have time to greet him.She is busy preparing food for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

The previous generation of the Su family, that is, Su Mo's father, had five brothers and sisters.Su Mo's father was second in line, with an older brother on top, two younger brothers and a younger sister on the bottom.Except for Su Mo's parents, everyone else is still alive, plus those cousins, there are almost 20 people in total, so there is naturally a lot of food to prepare.

The ancestors of the Su family started from scratch, created the original Su Group, and passed it on to Su Mo's father, which is the third generation.Although the Su family is independent, it still retains the patriarchal system. The patriarch of each generation is appointed by the previous generation, and the leader is not established for the virtuous.The Su family's old house was handed over to the patriarch. At the same time, the patriarch is also the president of the Su Group. He owns more than 50.00% of the shares and has the absolute right to speak.

Perhaps in the eyes of modern society, the Su family's system is very backward, but for some reason, the Su family is uniquely endowed with a genius born in each generation, who can pass on the Su family well.It is precisely because of this system that other family members are prevented from pointing fingers, so that the head of the Su family will not be controlled by the elders and can act better.And each generation of the head of the Su family has shouldered the responsibility of Everbright Su family well.Anyway, when it was handed over to Su Mo, the Su Group's property had multiplied several times compared to the initial one.

Su Jue was the second to arrive. He was not surprised to see Lu Yan chatting with Su Mo in the living room when he entered the house. He had known that Lu Yan would come today.And he is even more aware of the significance of Lu Yan's presence here today, because only the Su family can enter the Su family's old house.Over the years, no matter how many boyfriends and girlfriends Su Jue has had, he has never brought anyone into the old house.Su Mo brought Lu Yan here today, which means that their relationship must be made public and confirmed.

Su Jue sighed silently in his heart. At the beginning, he was still worried about whether his elder brother was going to be single to the end, but he didn't expect him to go straight to home base as soon as he made a shot.On the contrary, it was me. For so many years, so many people came and went around me, but none of them could make me settle down.So, big brother is worthy of being a big brother, and I can't catch up with him in any aspect.

Su Jue and Lu Yan are also old acquaintances.Last time at Ms. Fang's charity dinner, Su Jue took the initiative to help Lu Yan out of the siege, and Lu Yan told Su Mo like a joke afterwards.After hearing this, Su Mo only said meaningfully, he regards you as his family, that's why he defends you everywhere.Lu Yan remembered that when Ke Yuzhuo framed him last time, it was Su Jue who took the initiative to help him, otherwise the matter would not have ended.Thinking about it this way, those little quarrels at the beginning are really irrelevant, they are already a family.

At this moment, Aunt Fang came out and asked Su Mo to see if the dishes for tonight's family dinner were ready. Su Mo told Lu Yan to have a chat with Su Jue, and followed Aunt Fang into the kitchen.

The two of them still had a common topic, and when they really chatted, Lu Yan found that Su Jue was quite interesting. He had a clear understanding of many things and had his own ideas. He was definitely not just a playboy as rumored by the outside world.Also, all these years, Su Mo has let go of the starry sky to Su Jue.It can be said that in recent years, except for Lu Yan's affairs, Su Mo has not intervened in Xingkong's affairs, and Su Jue is making decisions.And Xingkong can develop better and better, which means that Su Jue is really doing things and doing them well.

The two were chatting happily when a harsh voice suddenly came, "Su Jue, when did you become so ignorant of the rules and bring all your lovers here. Didn't you forget that today is a family feast , not all messed up people can get on the stage."
