Chapter 291: The Hot Lu Yanhe (16,000 Words Update!) )

Chen Ziyan's strength has been taught by Hu Siwei, and many people in Beijing and Taiwan have been taught.

But in this negotiation, Hu Siwei felt that Chen Ziyan's judgment must have been wrong. This is not a matter of bargaining, but of principle.

Jingtai has never given any actor a revenue share.

For any drama, Jingtai can pay this actor more than the market level, but it has never given a revenue share.

These are two concepts.

The concept of one-shot buying and selling and long-term sharing.

However, if you want this drama to be filmed, Hu Siwei must also bite the bullet to report Chen Ziyan's request to the above.

Hu Siwei's boss is not Jiang Lan, but the person who promotes this drama is Xu Bin.

Hu Siwei can become the producer of "Seventeen Floors", that is, Xu Bin is working hard behind the scenes to keep the power of Beijing and Taiwan in this drama a delicate "balance".

When Hu Siwei handed over the script of the first episode written by Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan's request to Xu Bin, Hu Siwei thought that Xu Bin would directly scold, "Do her big dream of spring and autumn!" ”

This is Xu Bin's mantra. Whenever someone makes an unreasonable request, he will scold him.

But this time Hu Siwei didn't hear this.

He saw Xu Bin's expression fall into silence and thought.

Hu Siwei was stunned.

Could it be that Xu Bin is still thinking about the possibility of this matter?

Really?

Hu Siwei looked at Xu Bin incredulously, confused by his unusual reaction.

-

Lu Yanhe didn't know how Chen Ziyan and Jingtai talked about it, but three days later, Hu Siwei told him with an incredulous expression that Jingtai had given unprecedented conditions.

"8% revenue share?" Lu Yanhe looked at Hu Siwei in surprise.

Hu Siwei asked, "Are you not satisfied?" ”

"No, this revenue share...... What's going on? Lu Yanhe asked.

Hu Siwei was even more shocked and asked, "You don't know what's going on?" ”

Lu Yanhe shook his head.

Hu Siwei took a deep breath and said: "It was Chen Ziyan's request, remuneration + screenwriter's remuneration, 2 million yuan per episode, 10% revenue sharing, and finally reached an agreement at 8%. ”

Lu Yanhe looked at Hu Siwei in shock.

Chen Ziyan actually helped him negotiate such a treatment?

Hu Siwei saw that Lu Yanhe's face was surprised and the expression didn't seem to be fake, and asked, "Didn't your agent tell you?" ”

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Sister Ziyan won't tell me these things, she is talking about them, and she will only tell me when the contract is signed after the negotiation is completed." ”

Hu Siwei's expression was a little complicated, he was silent for a few seconds, and said, "You have a good agent." ”

-

Regarding this play, Lu Yanhe thought for a long time, what name should be changed to "Under the Roof".

Use Friends? However, this story is not entirely from Friends, except for the beginning of "Friends", the relationships between the characters and the story are not the same.

Moreover, these six people are not old friends, and if you take this name, it is a bit off-topic.

"The Big Bang Theory" is even more inappropriate. The name comes from several of the main characters in the show, all of whom are physicists, except for Howard, and are taken from the Big Bang.

A good name is important for a series that wants to be made into a classic.

Be simple and have your own characteristics.

On the way to the meeting in Beijing and Taiwan with the two episodes of the script, Lu Yanhe looked at the high-rise buildings outside, and the prosperity of Yuming came into view.

"Prosperous Life"?

The name crossed through Lu Yanhe's mind.

No way.

Immediately denied it again.

Although this is a story that takes place in a bustling city, this story is not "bustling" at all.

"Busy Traffic"?

It's like a period drama.

Lu Yanhe looked out the window in silence and felt the difficulty of taking out a good name.

-

This meeting in Beijing and Taiwan is mainly related to the content.

As a screenwriter and core actor, Lu Yanhe got the right to speak in a play for the first time - not because others listened to his opinion because he was popular or the protagonist, but needed his opinion from the beginning.

Jingtai, Lu Yanhe has been here several times.

However, he rarely comes to the administrative region.

This time, the Linghe Film and Television Production Company established by Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan will participate in the production of this drama as a joint producer.

Lu Yanhe's salary and screenwriter's salary are signed separately, the former has to be shared with the star entertainment agency, but the latter does not use it.

Lu Yanhe only signed a contract with Star Entertainment Agency in acting.

The 8% share was also agreed to be obtained as a screenwriter, and the contract was clearly written.

Vice President Ma knew about this and had a lot of complaints, but no one said anything in front of Chen Ziyan.

After all, the contract signed by Lu Yanhe, the part of the remuneration is the market price, and he did not deliberately lower the price and moved it to the screenwriter's manuscript fee.

And the revenue share ...... This has never happened to a TV drama actor before.

It's just that this matter has spread in Star Entertainment.

Lu Yanhe wrote a script for Jingtai and got an incredible treatment.

And the spread of this matter in Star Entertainment means that this matter will soon spread in the entertainment industry.

Lu Yanhe has not received any inquiries from others for the time being.

He came to Beijing today to discuss the lineup of the main creative staff.

It's just that he didn't expect that he was intercepted by Jiang Lan before he walked to the conference room.

"Jiang Tai."

"Xiao Lu, why didn't you tell me when you came to Beijing today?" Jiang Lan put a hand on Lu Yanhe's shoulder with a smile on her face, to show that the relationship between the two was very close, and there were other people in Jingtai watching next to her, "Yours will be there for a while, right?" Go to Sister Lan's place and have a cup of coffee first. ”

Lu Yanhe did arrive early.

He didn't expect Jiang Lan to intercept him halfway.

Lu Yanhe wanted to say that this was not good, but what Chen Ziyan told him came to his mind, "Don't be too cooperative, those people in Beijing and Taiwan are like this, the more crazy you are, the more they think you have the ability, the more humble you are, the more they think you are rubbish."

So, Lu Yanhe nodded and followed Jiang Lan.

When Hu Siwei in the conference room heard that Lu Yanhe was intercepted by Jiang Lan, he jumped to his feet in anger.

"What does Jiang Lan want to do?!"

He rushed to find Xu Bin.

-

Jiang Lan made a cup of coffee for Lu Yanhe and brought it to him.

"We haven't seen it since "Seventeen Floors" was completed." Jiang Lan said, "Originally, I was going to your birthday party last time, but there happened to be something that day, so I didn't go, it's a pity, but I saw your speech on the Internet, and I was moved, you really deserve to be the most potential among young actors now, great." ”

Lu Yanhe said thank you.

"Jiang Tai, is there something you are looking for me?"

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "What's the matter, I just know that you are coming, so I specially invited you over for a cup of coffee, how about it?" ”

Lu Yanhe took a sip and nodded, "It's very fragrant." ”

Jiang Lan: "I didn't know until the past two days, it turns out that you can still write scripts." ”

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "It's just a casual write." ”

"You can write a script that can get an 8% revenue share with just a little bit of it, you're a genius." Jiang Lan praised, "No wonder you refused to agree to sign that long-term cooperation agreement before, capable and talented people have never worried that they don't have a chance." ”

"I just don't want to be tied down."

"Understood." Jiang Lan said, "I made a wrong calculation, I also hope that you will have a good script in the future, you can give it to me, we collaborated on "Seventeen Floors", and had a very pleasant start, and we can continue this happy cooperation in the future, right?" ”

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "As long as all aspects are suitable, of course." ”

Jiang Lan said: "I heard Lian Bei say, you have a script on hand that is also a battle royale theme?" ”

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and shook his head, "It's just that I have such an idea, I mentioned it to the director, but I haven't written it yet." ”

Jiang Lan asked, "Can you tell me what kind of story it is?" ”

"I haven't thought it through yet, it's just a very basic concept." Lu Yanhe said.

Jiang Lan: "Then when your script comes out, you will be the first to come to me." ”

Lu Yanhe blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I'll try to write the script first." ”

"Knock knock!"

There was a sudden knock on the door of Jiang Lan's office.

Jiang Lan turned her head to look.

Xu Bin had already opened the door directly and came in, followed by Hu Siwei.

"Jiang Tai, how can you run away from our Teacher Lu halfway." Xu Bin smiled jokingly at Jiang Lan.

"Alas, I just pulled Yan He to talk about "Seventeen Floors", look at you nervousness." Jiang Lan stood up and smiled at Lu Yanhe, "Okay, okay, I won't keep you, Yanhe, otherwise Xu Tai will lose his temper with me." ”

Lu Yanhe stood up, "Then we'll talk about it next time." ”

As soon as he came out of Jiang Lan's office, Xu Bin said to Lu Yanhe with a smile: "Xiao Lu, I read the script you wrote, you are worthy of being a student of the School of Literature of Zhenhua University, and you wrote the script so well for the first time." ”

Lu Yanhe said: "Thank you Xu Tai for the compliment. ”

Xu Bin said: "Siwei has always told me that you are a very talented creator, this time we will do this drama together, I will fully support you, any ideas and requirements you have, just mention it." ”

Lu Yanhe nodded and said okay.

Xu Bin did not attend the later meeting.

A deputy director of the station will not participate in meetings on such specific matters.

Today, Lu Yanhe came to Beijing and Taiwan, and the two deputy directors came forward to personally win over Lu Yanhe, which is already a rare phenomenon.

-

Conference room.

Director Bai Jingnian, producer Hu Siwei, screenwriter and actor Lu Yanhe, and director assistant Jiang Xun.

Several people sat together.

Today I'm here to talk about the cast.

"The background of this drama is a group of young people who have just graduated from college, and Jiang Kele is played by me." Lu Yanhe first said his thoughts, "Hu Fan, I want to find Yan Liang to act, and Chen Wanqiu wants Wen Minglan." ”

Yan Liang is a good friend of Lu Yanhe, and Wen Minglan is an actress led by Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yanhe didn't care at all that saying these two names would make them feel that he was bringing a relation.

When he wrote the script, he leaned specifically on the image of these two people.

"Their salary-" Hu Siwei immediately frowned, because these two people are not unknown actors, to be precise, they are both a little famous, and the salary will not be low.

Lu Yanhe said: "I will say that the salary will not exceed the budget you set, don't worry." ”

Hu Siwei was stunned.

He glanced at Lu Yanhe with some confusion.

With his understanding of the actors' salaries, no matter how low the salaries of these two people are, it is impossible to be as low as 50,000 yuan per episode, can Lu Yanhe handle it?

"I have no opinion on the other roles, director, producer Hu, do you have any ideas?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian glanced at each other and said, "We plan to hold an audition." ”

Lu Yanhe nodded, "That's good, let's audition." When is our drama expected to start filming? ”

"We want to start filming at least before the end of this year, and we want to broadcast it during the winter break, and the main audience for this show is definitely young people, especially students," Hu said. ”

"Filming starts at the end of the year, and it will be broadcast during the winter vacation?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "Is there time to do it later?" ”

Hu Siwei said: "This is different from the main drama, the later stage of the sitcom is done quickly, and we even plan to broadcast it while filming." ”

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Hu Siwei said: "Only in this way can we catch up with the broadcast schedule of the winter vacation." ”

There are eight episodes in total, one episode a week, and a total of two months.

Lu Yanhe said: "I don't understand the schedule and production, I can only listen to you completely, I am only responsible for writing the script and then acting the play well." ”

Lu Yanhe's words made Bai Jingnian and Hu Siwei breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, Lu Yanhe's tough attitude in the script before made them think that Lu Yanhe would always be in a very strong position in this play. With his screenwriting and starring role, they really can't suppress him.

In fact, Lu Yanhe doesn't want to be strong - those who are familiar with him know what his own character is like. But the script given to him earlier was so bad that he regretted that he agreed to act in this play without seeing the script, and he felt that he had done something stupid for a while. Therefore, after he wrote the script himself, he couldn't help but become stronger, the main reason was that he didn't want the script to be questioned.

Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian are not the kind of strong personalities, otherwise, they may have already clashed.

Bai Jingnian is an old director in Beijing and Taiwan, and he has filmed a lot of scenes, but basically they are all water scenes, which are shoddy and used to fill the schedule. It must be admitted that most of the domestic TV series are not so sophisticated, and they are trying to fool money from the beginning of the project. Bai Jingnian is a veteran employee of Jingtai, unlike the directors of outside film and television companies, who rely on KPIs to eat. If he messes up the filming, it will not affect his income.

But just such a director, who is middle-aged, and his old friend Hu Siwei think that he still wants to make a masterpiece seriously, instead of fooling around all his life like this, so Bai Jingnian wrote an outline of such a story that he had wanted to shoot for a long time and handed it to Hu Siwei.

As Bai Jingnian's old friend, Hu Siwei knows his ability and wants to help Bai Jingnian realize such a wish. It just so happens that Xu Bin has always wanted to make his own brand. Bai Jingnian's past dramas have not been evaluated very well, mainly because there are too many restrictions, the theme, script, broadcast method, and schedule ...... These are not for him to decide, Bai Jingnian is just a tool man who implements according to the opinions of the station. He's done the best he can.

This time, Bai Jingnian proposed to shoot a sitcom, and Hu Siwei felt that the domestic genre had been blank for a long time, and it was a good opportunity. So, Hu Siwei took this project to Xu Bin, Xu Bin also experienced the era when sitcoms became popular, anyway, it was a short drama, and he felt that he could give it a try, and the cost was not high, so he agreed.

In the back, it was slowly finalized, and it could be made into a weekly broadcast, and because of the low cost, in order to increase the ratings, it could be webcast on the video platform during the premiere, and then Hu Siwei and Lu Yanhe cooperated in "Seventeenth Floor", Hu Siwei had a whim, and Lu Yanhe could be brought in to act in this drama.

A drama has gone through such a long process, and many things are different from what was planned at the beginning.

Just like at the beginning, Bai Jingnian said that he would write the script by himself.

But a play is like that, it will always change with the changes in the process.

Now, Lu Yanhe has become the absolute core creator of this drama, which is also something that Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian did not expect at the beginning.

-

After deciding this matter, Lu Yanhe went to find Chen Ziyan and Zhou Ping'an.

"Sister Ziyan, Minglan will play this role, and the salary will be much lower than her market price, but she doesn't have to spend much time, only eight episodes, and I am confident that it will become a very popular drama." Lu Yanhe said to Chen Ziyan, "Minglan will become popular through this drama." ”

Chen Ziyan smiled at Lu Yanhe and said, "Why are you still telling me what you are talking about, even if you say that you want Minglan to play the role with zero pay, she will agree." ”

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was surprised.

Chen Ziyan said: "I told her after reading the script you wrote, there is a role in it that is very suitable for her, even if you don't say it, I will help her fight for it." ”

Lu Yanhe asked, "Sister Ziyan, which character do you fancie?" ”

"Chen Wanqiu." Chen Ziyan said, "Beautiful and generous, gentle but a little paranoid, this character, it feels like it is written according to her." ”

Lu Yanhe laughed and said, "You're right, when I wrote this role, I did write it with Wen Minglan's image and personality. ”

Chen Ziyan said: "Do you think this drama will be very popular? ”

"It's either red, or it's bloody." Lu Yanhe expressed his judgment, "However, I think it will be popular, we haven't had a drama about the lives of young people in China for a long time, and now it's all workplace dramas, love dramas, and Xianxia dramas, everyone is tired of it." ”

Chen Ziyan: "Although I'm tired of watching it, these themes still have a few hits every year, which shows that there are audiences and they will be prosperous for a long time." ”

Lu Yanhe nodded, "But I think this drama will make up for the needs of many audiences." ”

"You're right." Chen Ziyan nodded, "I also take a fancy to this, I haven't seen a drama that specializes in the lives and emotional relationships of young people for a long time, when you recorded the variety show "Young Days", what moved me the most was the concept proposed by Li Zhenzhen, in fact, she was also very right, there are many young people who want to see such themes and types. ”

Compared with Chen Ziyan's support for him, Zhou Ping'an is full of critical eyes.

"Although Yan Liang doesn't have you and Li Zhi Baihuo, he won't be reduced to a salary of 50,000 yuan per episode, and he is also an idol." Zhou Ping'an said, "Moreover, he is filming." ”

Lu Yanhe: "I know he's filming, but I also know that his drama will be completed in November, Brother Ping'an, you should know that Yan Liang is my best friend, and I won't cheat him." ”

Zhou Ping'an: "It's just an eight-episode sitcom, no matter how popular it is, how popular can it be?" Moreover, in the past, most of the sitcoms in our country were popular with family ethics, and you talk about young people's lives, dreams and friendships, but there is no main plot, no matter how you look at it, they are all on the street. ”

Lu Yanhe looked at Zhou Ping'an seriously and said, "Brother Ping'an, do you know? This is a script that allows me to get 8% of the revenue share of the whole drama from Jingtai, do you think this script that hits the street can get the treatment? ”

The corners of Zhou Ping'an's mouth twitched instantly, shocked by the news, and showed an expression of disbelief.

"If you read the script carefully, you will know that the script is good." Lu Yanhe said, "If you don't believe in my vision, you should also believe in Sister Ziyan's vision, will Sister Ziyan let me go to a drama where I hit the street to play a starring role?" ”

Lu Yanhe looked at Zhou Ping'an with resolute eyes, "Although a lot of unpleasant things have happened between you and me, I know that you are a very capable agent, if it were not for Vice President Ma's instructions to you, maybe we would also be able to cooperate very happily, you might as well put aside your prejudices against me, read the script carefully, see if what I said is right, and then make a decision." ”

Zhou Ping'an: "No matter how good your script is, I will never agree to you with a salary of 50,000 episodes." ”

"What if I say that after this drama is broadcast, Yan Liang's salary can rise to 500,000 episodes?" Lu Yanhe looked at him seriously.

Zhou Ping'an was stunned.

Lu Yanhe said: "I can even say that this drama is definitely going to shoot a second season, and Yan Liang's salary in the second season can rise to 500,000 episodes." ”

Zhou Ping'an smiled.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Zhou Ping'an said, "Your current salary is also 500,000 episodes, right?" ”

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I'm just saying that if Yan Liang acts in this play, he will be popular." ”

Zhou Ping'an: "You think you are a prophet, I will believe whatever you say?" ”

Lu Yanhe: "I'm not a prophet, but I'm the only one who will hand Yan Liang the script and ask him to play the leading role, because he is my friend." ”

Zhou Ping'an was silent.

Lu Yanhe said: "Brother Ping'an, you take a look at the script first, I will leave first today, in addition, I am still writing a movie script with Yan Liang and Li Zhibai as the protagonists, maybe you think I am a newcomer and the script I wrote is very bad, but maybe you don't know yet, Jia Long and Chen Bige have already decided to star in the movie script I wrote, and Huang Kai Ren just booked a script with him as the protagonist with me, and now you still think that the script I wrote is not worthy of Yan Liang?" ”

-

"I finally realized what it means to pull the tiger's skin and pull the flag."

Lu Yanhe's tone on the phone became excited, and he didn't see the confidence, strength and indifference he showed in front of Zhou Ping'an just now.

"As soon as I said the names of Jia Long, Chen Bige, and Huang Kai, Zhou Ping'an's face immediately changed." Lu Yanhe said.

Chen Siqi also laughed, "Yes, you don't have a teacher, but you don't call it pulling tiger skins and pulling big flags, and you're not lying, sometimes in order to get a person, you even have to tell lies." ”

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe asked, "You?" ”

"Yes, but it's not a lie, it's just a two-sided set, and in the end, it's done, so it's not a lie." "It's a strategy. ”

Lu Yanhe asked, "How is the winter special issue doing?" ”

Chen Siqi said: "We are in full swing to select the manuscript, and Mr. Shi Xia finally agreed to give us an essay. ”

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe showed a surprised expression.

Chen Siqi: "It's really not easy, I've worked hard for so long, Mr. Shi Xia suddenly asked me two days ago, he wrote a small article, asked me if I wanted it, I said of course I want it, how can I not want it, I screamed with surprise with him on the phone, which startled him." ”

Lu Yanhe knew how much energy and effort Chen Siqi had put in to get rid of Teacher Shi Xia, it had been almost a year, and he had visited Teacher Shi Xia's house no less than three times.

"The all-star author lineup of our "Jump Up" winter special issue can finally add the name of Teacher Shi Xia."

"Congratulations." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "By the way, there is something I have to tell you in advance, I am going to write about this drama in the column of this special issue." They were going to air it during the winter break, and I wanted to promote it on Jump Up. ”

Chen Siqi: "Of course it's fine. ”

Chen Siqi also said: "All the media accounts of our "Jump Up" can cooperate with the publicity. ”

Lu Yanhe: "I have been telling others these days that this drama will definitely explode and become popular, and I swear and be full of confidence, but I am not sure at all." ”

Chen Siqi: "This shows that you have finally advanced again." ”

"Advanced?"

"Well, there isn't a truly talented creator who doesn't have confidence in himself, it's nothing more than the difference between showing it and not showing it." Chen Siqi said, "And you are in the entertainment industry, this is a place where everyone is desperately exaggerating themselves, you don't swear, others take the lead in looking down on you, you used to have Sister Ziyan here, she helped you get this, and now you have to be the main creator of a drama, in this crew, you can only do it yourself, now look at it, the results are pretty good, isn't it?" ”

Lu Yanhe snorted.

Chen Siqi said: "Moreover, I also believe that this drama will be popular, what you said is not wrong, if it is just your own blind confidence, why Jia Long and Chen Bige will choose your script, why Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian, two old-timers with such deep qualifications, will invite you to be a screenwriter, why Jingtai will agree to give you 8% revenue share, these actually show that you write well, you write well, these things will happen." ”

"You're really good at encouraging, I'm encouraged by you." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

-

As a result, Li Zhibai came over aggressively.

"You asked Yan Liang to act with you, why didn't you look for me?" He asked.

Li Zhibai drove the car, parked directly at the school gate, and called him out.

Lu Yanhe suddenly received a call from him, saying that he was waiting for him at the school gate and asked him to hurry over, thinking that something urgent was going on, so he hurried there, but it turned out that Lu Yanhe didn't look for him for this play.

Lu Yanhe couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "We are a small-cost drama, we can't afford to invite you for the time being, how could Zhou Ping'an agree to reduce your salary with Yan Liang to act in this drama at the same time." ”

Li Zhibai laughed and said, "I said before that I would write a movie script for me and Yan Liang, but now I don't see a shadow in the movie script, but I wrote a script that put me aside." ”

"Isn't it just that Jingtai is looking for me to cooperate, and it's not deliberate." Lu Yanhe said, "Moreover, I have pushed the "Nineteen Years of Crime Record" to you and Yan Liang, have they looked for you?" ”

Li Zhibai nodded, "I found it, and I also let me audition, but there is no news yet, so I guess I didn't like it." ”

After he finished speaking, his eyes widened again, "Don't interrupt, you are not doing this authentically." ”

"What's the way that the role is more suitable for Yan Liang." Lu Yanhe said, "Do you want to play a gentle, positive and sunny person? I can't imagine you like this. ”

Li Zhibai: "......"

Lu Yanhe said: "Let you play a short-tempered and emotional person, I can still imagine it." ”

"I'm here to ask you about your guilt, not to listen to you complain about me."

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "This is not to explain to you, why don't I ask you to act, of course, the most important thing is the salary, you are too expensive, and it is not me who pays, it is Jingtai who pays, they are unwilling to pay, do you let them take advantage?" ”

Li Zhibai pursed his mouth.

"Moreover, in the script I wrote, there is another role I want to play for you."

"Huh?"

Lu Yanhe said: ""Squid Game" is a theme very close to "Seventeen Floors". ”

Li Zhibai looked at him in disbelief, "You wrote another script?" ”

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Li Zhibai: "Lu Yanhe, how many stories do you have in your head?" Damn, how did you come up with this? ”

Lu Yanhe thought to himself, this was not something he came up with, he was just a small porter.

In "Squid Game", there is a young male policeman who is also one of the main actors, he did not participate in the death game, but suspected that the game was related to his missing brother, so he infiltrated the organization to investigate the secret, which was another side line, and the actor who played this role at that time became an instant hit with this drama.

Lu Yanhe said to Li Zhibai: "The script hasn't been written yet, but the characters have been thought of, and I'll show it to you after the script is written." ”

Li Zhibai nodded immediately, and the attitude towards Lu Yanhe's Xingshi asking for guilt was gone.

"That's okay, you have a good attitude."

Lu Yanhe said: "When the time comes, you will not be the first protagonist in this drama. ”

Li Zhibai: "The first protagonist is a fart, I don't have the problem of not acting as a non-protagonist, after you won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor, Zhou Ping'an muttered that he wanted to give me a supporting role that could win the award." ”

Lu Yanhe: "You don't mind." ”

Li Zhibai's eyes squinted, "Then the salary of this drama will not be less, right?" ”

"Big production, less is less." Lu Yanhe believes that "Squid Game" cannot be a small production after the broadcast of "Seventeenth Floor", and it will not be less than Li Zhibai's salary.

In this drama, there are two middle-aged characters, the first protagonist is, of course, the one starring Lee Jung-jae, and Lu Yanhe wants to find Jiang Jun to play it. As Lian Bei said, because Jiang Jun's popularity and appeal are placed here, the other protagonists must find big stars who can carry the drama and can make investors and broadcast platforms nod, so Lu Yanhe thought at that time that the role of the young male policeman was to be played by Li Zhibai, and the role of the young girl in the protagonist group was played by Jiang Yuqian - if Sister Yuqian was willing to play.

With the two of them in charge of the protagonist group, they will not lag behind in the cast.

Lu Yanhe: "You're here anyway, let's have a meal together, I'm hungry." ”

"What do you want to eat? You Baige please you. ”

"Why don't you go to our school cafeteria?" Lu Yanhe asked, "Our school cafeteria is quite rich, with a lot of food. ”

"Let's go." Li Zhibai finished speaking, "No, I still have to find a place to park first, this is a temporary parking space, and it can't be parked for too long." ”

-

Li Zhibai wore sunglasses and followed Lu Yanhe into Zhenhua's campus, and the combination of the two attracted countless eyes.

Although Zhenhua's students are more restrained and don't know how to express themselves in the way of screaming excitedly, there are quite a few who take out their mobile phones to shoot the two of them.

Li Zhibai smiled brightly and waved hello to many girls.

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at his peacock appearance.

Li Zhibai, this guy is like this.

As a result, because Li Zhibai did not have Zhenhua's campus card, Lu Yanhe invited Li Zhibai to eat the last meal.

"The food in your school cafeteria is really good." Li Zhibai gave his own evaluation.

"That's right, I told you it was delicious." Lu Yanhe said, "Everyone doesn't go out to eat much. ”

Li Zhibai: "I feel like you're really enjoying your campus life, I rarely go there a few times a semester." ”

"If you don't go to school, what will you do when you graduate?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Li Zhibai said: "My garbage school, usually no one cares about you, just take the exam when you take the exam, and, to be honest, it doesn't matter if I get my school graduation certificate or not, unlike you and Yan Liang, one is in Zhenhua, the other is in Jingyi, those are all famous schools, if I have this degree, my dad will invite the Quartet to the morning banquet." ”

He had dinner with Lu Yanhe and asked, "Do you go back to Ziyuan Bridge at night, or stay in the dormitory?" ”

"Let's go back to Ziyuan Bridge, tomorrow Saturday, there will be no class." Lu Yanhe said, "But I have to go to the dormitory to get the computer, you called me temporarily just now, I ran out in a hurry, I thought there was something urgent." ”

Li Zhibai: "Who's to blame, as soon as I heard that you only looked for Yan Liang for filming, but didn't look for me, I blew up immediately." ”

Lu Yanhe: "Then I can't put all three of us in a drama forever." ”

Li Zhibai: "That's your business." ”

Lu Yanhe: "......"

-

The news that Lu Yanhe was going to cooperate with Beijing and Taiwan in a sitcom quickly spread in the entertainment industry.

Everyone's first reaction when they heard the news was that Lu Yanhe and Jingtai were going to cooperate on a new play, and they all sighed that after Lu Yanhe won the Golden Tripod Award, the resources immediately followed, and he still had to win the award.

Listen carefully to the content of the collaboration, what? Screenwriter? What?! 8% revenue share?!

This news is not unexplosive, it simply blew everyone up.

And Zhou Ping'an finally relented and agreed to let Yan Liang act in this drama.

Lu Yanhe is right, this is currently the only TV series that will agree to let Yan Liang play the leading role, but a TV series produced and broadcast on a traditional big station like Beijing and Taiwan.

This has an extraordinary significance for Yan Liang.

Zhou Ping'an is a very good agent, he can calculate the salary figures on the surface, and he can also calculate the invisible income that a leading role brings to Yan Liang at this stage.

But Zhou Ping'an still didn't mean to accept it, and when he told Yan Liang about it, he didn't forget to give Yan Liang eye drops.

"Look at your good friend, saying that he is sending you the protagonist to play, but to put it bluntly, in order to take advantage of you, he takes a remuneration of 2 million yuan per episode and 8% of the revenue share, so you can only get a salary of 50,000 yuan per episode." Zhou Ping'an sighed twice, "This abacus is really shrewd." ”

Yan Liang listened silently and didn't say a word.

Zhou Ping'an said: "At this time, he knew that he didn't look for Li Zhibai, and knew that if it was Li Zhibai, I wouldn't agree." ”

Yan Liang still listened silently.

After Zhou Ping'an finished speaking, Yan Liang left silently.

The salary of 50,000 episodes is very low, especially compared with Lu Yanhe's salary, it looks pitiful.

But—

Yan Liang took a deep breath.

If there is no Lu Yanhe, which TV station will be willing to play the actor in the prime-time drama broadcast by him?

Li Zhibai's words yesterday are still in my ears: "Lao Lu is too much, you are looking for you to play this role, not me to play it, and humiliating me for not being able to play it, he is obviously based on the role you wrote, and blames me for not being able to play it, why didn't he write this role according to my character?" ”

Li Zhibai sighed, "He is true love for you, from the script, you are the real hero of this drama, he is just a supporting role." ”

Yan Liang looked up at the blue sky, and his silent eyes reflected the blue of the sky.

Clean, chilly.

-

When Lu Yanhe started recording the second season of "Young Days", everyone else joked and asked if there was a role suitable for them.

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "The budget is too small, I can't afford to invite everyone, but everyone is welcome to make a cameo, please." ”

Lu Yanhe plans to find one or two characters in each episode and invite his celebrity friends to make cameos.

For example, Li Zhibai, who took the initiative to ask Ying.

There is more and more news about this show.

For example, Lu Yanhe turned out to be the screenwriter of this drama, for example, he, as the key creator of this drama, will participate in the casting of this drama.

These news have been invisibly rendered by everyone in an incredible tone, rendering a kind of legend.

"He's only twenty years old." This is the most crucial and the most talked-about place.

It is normal for actors of the level of Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou to influence the creative direction and casting of a play, and it has been accepted by the industry, which will not make people feel strange.

But Lu Yanhe is not them, why does he have such great power?

It is this unusual phenomenon that has pushed both Lu Yanhe and Jingtai to the forefront.

And the news also began to spread to the whole network from the industry.

When Lu Yanhe was recording the second season of "Young Days" with everyone, he didn't look at his mobile phone, so he didn't know much about the situation on the Internet.

Some people question his ability to write scripts, some people question his ability to carry dramas, and of course, there are many people who support him and look forward to his work, all kinds of voices.

This time, however, there are many who remain skeptical.

Because Lu Yanhe is too young, only twenty years old, and he has not been acting for two years, he has started to write scripts.

Everyone judged this matter according to conventional experience, and they all felt that no matter how talented Lu Yanhe was, he didn't have the ability to write a script independently.

- Internal entertainment is really coming to an end, an idol actor who has only broadcast one drama so far and appeared in less than three episodes, and has a Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor, and now he has become an independent screenwriter and core starring in a Beijing-Taiwan drama, is this world more magical, or do I can't put sand in my eyes? What is the backstage of this Lu Yanhe, who can get such exaggerated resources? It's just that even Huang Kairen can't get such resources, right?

That's what some people say.

Then, Lu Yanhe's eternal black fan leader Yu Jiang arrived late, reposted this Weibo, saying: "Everyone finally saw Lu Yanhe's true face, when I exposed other people's small ambitions before, you all said that I couldn't tolerate a young person, now can you understand my feelings?" ”

Then, Chen Siqi, Yujiang's biggest black fan leader, appeared and threw out a promotional picture of the cumulative sales of the paper and electronic versions of "Jump Up" exceeding 1.5 million copies, saying: "I have always understood your feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred. ”

Yu Jiang counterattacked: "You relied on the popularity of Yan He and the power of fans to pay for "Jump Up" to support the sales of 1.5 million copies, do you think such a deceptive game can be copied to a TV series?" ”

Chen Siqi forwarded and officially announced: "Since Mr. Yu Jiang asked sincerely, I will mercifully announce it in advance, whether such an achievement can be replicated in Yan He's new play, we will wait and see, but such an achievement finally made us "Jump Up" successfully impress Mr. Shi Xia, we will publish Mr. Shi Xia's new work in the winter special issue of "Jump Up", so stay tuned! ”

Yu Jiang subconsciously wanted to fight back, and then his eyes fell on the word Shi Xia, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Shi Xia?!

Chen Siqi: "I understand many people's doubts about Yan He, because he is very young, because he has never shown his ability as a screenwriter in front of everyone, at this time it is useless for me to say more, so I don't say much, after everyone sees the broadcast of this play, they have their own judgments in their hearts, but for some teachers to make some targeted and guiding speeches with past grievances, I can't sit idly by." ”

Chen Siqi also said: "There are always people who criticize us, two recent high school graduates want to make magazines, do they think this is a playhouse? Do you think you can make a magazine by relying on Yan Ha's fans? Now, this magazine has entered a period of benign development, it has successfully come to the first anniversary, a total of 11 issues have been issued, the cumulative sales of paper and electronic versions have exceeded 1.5 million copies, and in the past year, many writers and predecessors are encouraging us, let us work hard, and even many serious literary writers and teachers have expressed their encouragement to us through all aspects, which is what we never thought of when we decided to make a commercial literary magazine, let alone Now we are proud to announce that Mr. Shi Xia has handed over a new piece of his work to us, which will be published in the winter special issue of "Jump Up". ”

Chen Siqi posted the third Weibo in a row: "Young means inexperienced, young means that everything will be questioned and challenged, but being young also means infinite possibilities, speaking with works." ”

Chen Siqi's three Weibo posts have won a large number of likes from young fans with a clear attitude.

And Yu Jiang was sprayed again under the bombardment of Chen Siqi's three Weibos.

It can be said that all kinds of doubts that Lu Yanhe received were eliminated by Chen Siqi's powerful response, which eliminated the harm it brought to Lu Yanhe.

The main reason is that the sales of "Jump Up" are too hard, which is the achievement of two young people, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi, which can not be erased by anyone.

Since Lu Yanhe was able to go against the trend and make a best-selling magazine at the age of nineteen, why couldn't Lu Yanhe write the script of a hit drama at the age of twenty?

Chen Siqi's response is to bring everyone's thinking to this position.

Sort out the doubts and doubts that you feel subconsciously based on your life experience, choose to give Lu Yanhe a basic trust, and then maintain your expectations for this play.

-

Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe: "Siqi is really suitable for helping you do public relations, every time you are attacked by public opinion, her response can help you turn the tide just right, she is very powerful." ”

Lu Yanhe: "If it weren't for her to help me respond to Yu Jiang, I really don't know what to say." ”

"Of course you can't talk about this kind of thing." Chen Ziyan said, "You remember, no matter what happens, you can't go to the line with people yourself, understand? ”

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Ziyan: "But thanks to this incident, your drama is popular before it is broadcast, and there will be no lack of attention and popularity, and it is estimated that many people will want to know what this new drama written and starring you will look like." ”

Lu Yanhe lowered his head and chuckled, and said: "Now they don't know that this drama is going to be broadcast exclusively on Beijing and Taiwan, and they won't broadcast it online, if they know about it, it is estimated that the opinions will be even bigger." ”

Chen Ziyan: "This is a very risky approach, after all, there are really few people watching TV now. ”

"But there are still a lot of people who have TVs at home." Lu Yanhe said, "I understand what Hu Siwei wants to do, they have wanted to make a sitcom from the beginning, and it is a low-cost sitcom, and the cost of an episode is controlled within five million, just to do so." ”

"They want to pull ratings."

"Hmm." Lu Yanhe nodded, "After the TV series completes the first round of solo broadcasts, it will be sold to video websites for broadcast." ”

Chen Ziyan said: "But it may not be able to pull up the ratings, which really depends on the appeal of this show." Of course, if this drama really pulls up the ratings, not to mention pulling it up to 2%, it will be a huge good result if it can pull it up to 1%. ”

Now the average ratings of the prime time in Beijing and Taiwan are between 0.3-0.6%.

If the ratings can break 1%, then he is basically the king of dramas of the year.

In the Internet era, the ratings of traditional TV stations have collapsed like this.

In addition to the national station, other TV stations are like this.

Then it's time for the ratings war.

-

The actor's audition is scheduled for a weekend in October.

Lu Yanhe is also one of the interview judges.

Because some time ago, Lu Yanhe's role as a screenwriter caused a stir on the Internet, and many people stared at this drama, knowing that no matter how this drama looks back, it must be a hot drama that has been paid attention to.

It won't be an invalid drama.

However, Hu Siwei also made a rumor with various brokerage companies and agents early on, and there are currently only three main roles of one man and two women in this drama There are no actors, and this time the main purpose is to choose these three, but because of the limited budget, this time there will be no auditions for first-line actors.

This made some first-line actors who had moved their minds retreat again.

And this does not affect the enthusiasm of the individual brokerage companies.

Which agency has not signed some little-known actors, or even newcomers.

For this group of actors, the agency's first expectation for them is not to make money, but to become popular.

You can only make more money if you become popular.

This drama is very popular now, and it seems that it is a drama that has attracted a lot of attention, and everyone wants to let their people be on this drama.

Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian were found to be related in various ways, and Lu Yanhe also became hot because of this incident.

There were even people who entrusted Huang Kairen to greet Lu Yanhe.

Huang Kairen said with a smile: "This is too crazy, there is no way, Yan He, I am a very good senior, he came to me, I can only call you." ”

Lu Yanhe was also helpless and said, "Brother Huang, we are just a small crew, not so exaggerated." ”

Huang Kairen said: "How hot you are now, do you know? A lot of people have asked me about your play. ”

Lu Yanhe said: "This is because everyone didn't see the script, and they didn't know what the drama was, and then because I was questioned and made a hot search, this drama suddenly attracted attention, in fact, it is really a small-cost drama, but others say that it has become a big drama, I don't know how to explain it." ”

Huang Kairen: "You wrote the script, that's always right, right?" It's not a rumor, right? ”

"That's not." Lu Yanhe smiled.

Huang Kairen: "I'll just say, I told you before that I asked you to write a play with the two of us as the protagonists, but you promised me, don't forget." ”

"I can't forget it, but, Brother Huang, I am in this drama, do you want to come and help me make a cameo." Lu Yanhe smiled and said.

Huang Kairen: "Cameo? Okay, when you guys shoot, I'll come when I have time. ”

He directly agreed.

"It's so refreshing, thank you Brother Huang."

"You're welcome." Huang Kairen said.

After hanging up Huang Kairen's phone, Lu Yanhe returned to his worries about what the name of this play was.

These days, Lu Yanhe has been worrying about this matter, but he hasn't thought of a good answer.

Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian were also thinking.

However, every time everyone comes up with a name and gives it away, they always feel that it is not good, the strength is not enough, it is not appropriate enough, and it is a little worse.

On the day of the weekend audition, Lu Yanhe went out early in the morning and came to Jingtai.

The audition took place in Kyodai.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that when he arrived, there were already many people waiting.

As far as the eye can see, the waiting room is almost full. All are young actors.

Lu Yanhe's appearance also made everyone in the waiting room look at it in surprise.

"It's Lu Yanhe!" Someone whispered.

Lu Yanhe nodded to them, waved hello, and walked into the audition room.

Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian are already there.

Coffee and snacks are placed on the table.

It's quite intimately prepared.

"I'm not late, am I?" Lu Yanhe saw that everyone was so together, and he wondered if he was late.

"No, fifteen minutes to go." Hu Siwei said, "There have been a lot of discussions about our drama recently. ”

Bai Jingnian said with a smile: "The main thing is to discuss Yan He. ”

Lu Yanhe said: "I hope these discussions can bring more audiences to this drama when it is broadcast, and it is not in vain that I have been questioned by so many people." ”

"When they see the script you wrote and see the show air, they know how wrong it is for them to underestimate you." Bai Jingnian said.

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "As long as they don't throw bricks at me when the time comes." ”

"Haha, how could it be."

The three of them chatted for a while.

Hu Siwei suddenly said: "Yan Liang and Wen Minglan have already signed a contract, and we are ready to start filming in December, Yan He, your time is OK, right?" ”

"No problem, just avoid the time I have classes and exams, especially since I have a two-week exam week in January." Lu Yanhe said.

Because it is a peripheral drama that is broadcast while filming, this way of filming allows Lu Yanhe not to have to spare many days to stay in the crew like before.

For Lu Yanhe, the time is easy to coordinate a lot.

Hu Siwei said: "We will definitely coordinate the issue of shooting time. ”

Bai Jingnian said: ""Phoenix Channel" should be broadcast in November, and our station bought this drama. ”

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and asked, "Will it be broadcast on Beijing TV in November?" ”

"Yes, the station network broadcasts simulcast." Bai Jingnian said, "This is also conducive to the ratings of our later drama." ”

Although Lu Yanhe is not the protagonist in "Phoenix Terrace", he is also a main character with a complete plot line.

This drama is broadcast on Beijing Channel, which will definitely bring some viewers to Lu Yanhe, and this sitcom will be broadcast after "Phoenix Channel", as long as "Phoenix Channel" does not collapse, of course it can eat dividends.

After chatting for a while, the audition officially began.

Lu Yanhe used to be the one who went to the audition, and for the first time, he sat in the interviewer's seat to look at the people who came in for the interview, which was a little strange and a little trance-like.

It turns out that the interviewer looks at the auditioner with such a feeling.

From the first time a person comes in, he will subconsciously evaluate which role this person is suitable for, where are the plus points and where are the minus points. Some people make a good first impression on you, but the performance later is not satisfactory. Some people don't give you a good first impression, but when you audition, your line skills and performance are very natural and unexpected.

Although there were cameras recording at the scene, Lu Yanhe was still taking notes with pen and paper.

He has in front of him the biographies of all the auditioners.

The situation of everyone coming in is different, some people will arouse the interest of Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian, and when they are asked, some people will directly try a clip, and they will let him leave directly.

Lu Yanhe rarely spoke. He knew that he wasn't really capable of leading an audition, so he just sat silently and watched, taking his own notes and recording his impressions of each auditioner.

During the break, Hu Siwei asked Lu Yanhe if he was more impressed.

Lu Yanhe said: "I haven't seen it yet. ”

Most of the actors who came to audition did not have very good acting skills. In fact, the clips that need to be auditioned themselves don't need acting skills, and this sitcom does not have very high requirements for the acting skills of actors, Lu Yanhe has always thought that everyone will give more qualified performances, just like the young actors he met in the previous dramas.

However, through this audition, Lu Yanhe discovered that there were so many people's performances, and they couldn't even do the basic naturalness and life, and even the movements were stiff like a zombie.

Lu Yanhe didn't want to say that he was surprised, but the actual situation was about the same.

But looking at Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian again, the reactions of both of them had a kind of calmness that was not strange, and there was no expression of surprise at all.

Lu Yanhe knew that this was the norm at the audition scene.

It's no wonder that when director Luo Yuzhong auditioned for the Star Entertainment Organization, he would praise their group's performance.

Compared with the situation on the scene today, the performances given by the five of them at that time were at least remarkable.

Thinking about it again, Lu Yanhe realized that his perception of actors had been established a little above average from the beginning.

"Golden Age", "Phoenix Terrace", "Seventeenth Floor", and even the cameo "Three Mountains", every opponent actor who has worked with is actually selected after careful selection.

And that's the norm.

Lu Yanhe didn't say anything, just digested all this silently.

But in the process of finally auditioning, there were still a few actors who made Lu Yanhe's eyes shine and felt that they were not bad.

It's not good at acting, but it just feels very sincere to him, and his personality seems to fit the characters very well.

Lu Yanhe made a few markers.

This audition lasted from half past nine in the morning to half past five in the afternoon, and all the actors who signed up for the audition were finished.

There's another one tomorrow.

Lu Yanhe only felt that after sitting for a day, he was exhausted, and it was too draining of people's spirits.

Hu Siwei sighed: "If it weren't for our lack of budget, we would have found a professional casting team to help us find actors." ”

For large crews, there are very few directors who need to be responsible for the first few levels of auditions.

Often, a professional casting team provides a list of actors for the director team to make the final decision, and only needs to look at it once or twice.

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "Maybe when the second season starts, we won't have to be so embarrassed." ”

-

In the evening, after having dinner with Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian, Lu Yanhe went back to school.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were not in Ziyuan Bridge, so he went back to the dormitory to sleep.

Mao Jiayang lifted dumbbells in the bedroom, and his biceps muscles were very developed.

Seeing that Lu Yanhe was back, Mao Jiayang said: "Yanhe, someone came to the dormitory to look for you just now, saying that he was a classmate of your film history course, and he said that you borrowed notes from him and came to give them to you, but you were not there, so I put them on your desk directly." ”

Lu Yanhe immediately glanced at his desk, and sure enough, he saw a stack of photocopied notes.

He nodded.

"But film history should be an elective, right?" Mao Jiayang asked.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Mao Jiayang was a little surprised and asked, "Do you take other people's notes so seriously in your elective courses?" Aren't all electives just a passing grade? ”

Lu Yanhe smiled and said: "I was interested in this course so I chose it, the score is second, mainly interested in the content of this course, the teacher who took this course is also very knowledgeable, and every class is a side reference, I don't want to delay listening to the class because of taking notes, so I borrow notes from others." ”

Mao Jiayang: "Cool. ”

In school, in fact, there are a lot of rumors about Lu Yanhe, why he appears in the library every now and then just to create a character who studies hard and hard, what he loves to read is an illusion, in fact, many books have not been read, and so on.

Even in public, Lu Yanhe is the idol of almost every Zhenhua student.

But behind the scenes, there are still people who chew the root of the tongue out of anonymity.

Perhaps this is something that every celebrity can't avoid.

Only people who are really around Lu Yanhe know how much of his love for reading comes from his own heart, and how much of it comes from the utilitarian purpose in the rumors.

This is also the reason why several people in the dormitory sincerely appreciate and admire Lu Yanhe.

Mao Jiayang told Li Xiao: "At least more than half of the people in our school are studying with a very utilitarian purpose, working hard, and even brushing up on grade points and comprehensive tests, like Lu Yanhe, students who are simply interested in knowledge and the content of books, I haven't seen a few, not like an artist at all." ”

Li Xiao also joked: "I feel that you are all fans of Lu Yanhe now." ”

Mao Jiayang nodded, "It's not impossible to say that." ”

Li Xiao: "Don't they all say that artists are all watching from afar?" People who really have close contact with celebrities and artists in life will break the filter and realize that he is also a person with many shortcomings. ”

Mao Jiayang: "Lu Yanhe is different. ”

"Huh?"

"The media touted him as a genius, as if he was a man who didn't have much trouble learning anything, but when you really knew him, you would know that he really put in 100 percent effort and focus in everything he did, so that he could do everything with weight." Mao Jiayang said, "Genius may attract envy, but no one in our dormitory is jealous of him, and we all feel that he deserves everything he has now." ”

Li Xiao was also surprised to hear Mao Jiayang describe Lu Yanhe like this.

She doesn't know much about Lu Yanhe, if it weren't for Mao Jiayang being Lu Yanhe's roommate, maybe she would be the same as everyone else, just seeing Lu Yanhe on campus from afar, or passing by him somewhere on campus, but there would be no real intersection.

That time, she attended Lu Yanhe's birthday party with Mao Jiayang, and she felt a little out of place.

Later, after listening to Mao Jiayang, I learned that the original birthday party originated from the couple activity he proposed. Li Xiao knew why at Lu Yanhe's birthday party, a few of them who were not familiar with Lu Yanhe at all, would appear in an infield that only belonged to Lu Yanhe's private circle of friends.

"Lu Yanhe is very sincere, just treat him as a very nice classmate." Mao Jiayang told Li Xiao this more than once. (End of chapter)
