Become famous another day.

The Spring Festival Gala has extraordinary significance for every Chinese person.

For young star artists like Lu Yanhe, they want to be on the stage even more.

Lu Yanhe really didn't expect that the Spring Festival Gala director team would be willing to let them participate in rehearsals from the end of January.

Lu Yanhe is very clear about how high the Spring Festival Gala director team's requirements are for rehearsals.

Even many celebrity artists’ programs were eliminated during rehearsals.

Of course, the show “Green Apple Paradise” performed by the three of them has already been performed, and it has created a huge impact. Those who are directly invited by the director team to perform on stage are generally considered “direct admission students” and are unlikely to be eliminated.

Now that he has the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage again, Lu Yanhe is of course excited.
-
After Song Ying finished filming, more and more people started to join the crew and finish filming.

This is a road movie after all. You meet one person, then leave and go to meet the next person. These people are the ones Mo Wen wanted to see again before he died. Some of them have regrets that they want to make up for, and some simply want to meet them.

As a result, Lu Yanhe made several new actor friends, but there was no one like Song Ying who could get along with him and chat with him.

Fu Kai's filming progress is very fast. Although this is an art film, he is using the execution and schedule of shooting a commercial film to arrange the progress of each scene.

Fu Kai has basically never done anything like Liu Bigo, who would go against the plan from time to time and force the coordinator to death.

However, this does not make Lu Yanhe feel that Fu Kai's filming skills are not good enough.

Every director has a different way of working. It doesn't mean that only by being as unrestrained, imaginative, and breaking the rules like a genius can you create a masterpiece.

Based on the few shooting materials that Lu Yanhe has seen so far, he has a high prediction for the film "Road to Glory".

Just as Chen Ziyan had told him before.

A classic movie, it may be too tame, so you don't get the sense of surprise of watching an innovative movie.

However, the style and pattern of classic movies have their own power.

This style is the most appropriate for a story like this.

What surprised him was that he had never felt that his performance in any of his works had the neat and serious temperament of the academic school, but in the materials shot by Fu Kai, he saw this shadow.

It may be that he was driven and influenced by Shang Yongzhou, or it may be because Fu Kai's image style was like that, so he also integrated into it.

Anyway, he looks fresh in the camera.

This sense of freshness makes Lu Yanhe full of expectations for this movie.
-
Probably because he had to move to new locations with the crew every now and then.

When he was filming in the past, Lu Yanhe often had friends visiting the set, but this time there was no one.

Chen Siqi originally wanted to come, but Lu Yanhe felt that the shooting environment was not very comfortable and the living place was even less comfortable, so he asked Chen Siqi not to come.

Unexpectedly, on this day, Zheng Huairen and Jiang Zixin from Northern Lights Video rushed to the hotel where Lu Yanhe was staying, waiting for him to come back from work.

Lu Yanhe only found out about their arrival when he was on his way back to the hotel.

It was so sudden and hurried that Lu Yanhe had a feeling that something must have happened.

As expected, Zheng Huairen immediately said, "Yan He, do we need to start the film and television project "Squid Game" as soon as possible?"

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised. "Start it as soon as possible? What's wrong?"

Zheng Huairen said: "Icefield Video has set its sights on our subject matter and is already looking for someone to write the script, hoping to film it before us. It is also a story about a group of people involved in a death game and then competing in PK, which is exactly the same story model as "Squid Game"."

For a story like "Squid Game", the main concept is a sense of freshness and strangeness.

If a very similar story had been aired first, the freshness and strangeness of "Squid!" would have been seriously weakened when it was aired.

"The Seventeenth Floor" made this large category of subject matter popular, and everyone saw the market for this type of subject matter.

But "The Seventeenth Floor" is more like an escape room, which is fundamentally different from "Squid Game".

According to Zheng Huairen, Icefield Video was completely following their script idea and trying to "crash" a play.

Only then did Lu Yanhe understand why Zheng Huairen was so anxious to start this drama as soon as possible.

Because we can’t let the Icefield video be broadcast first.

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "No problem. If you want to start it as soon as possible, then start it. I have given you all my scripts. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

Zheng Huairen said: "According to our initial discussion, the male lead of this drama is Jiang Jun, and the female lead is Jiang Yuqian. However, the role of the young policeman was originally intended to be played by Li Zhibai, but he was not available in the first half of this year, as he has already taken on other dramas."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanhe understood where the problem lay.

"Zhi Bai can't act, right? What about the other actors?"

"We have had preliminary communication and everything is OK." Zheng Huairen said, "Only Li Zhibai has signed another drama, which will start shooting in March, so he can't be relied on by us."

Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "In fact, most of Zhibai's scenes are his own scenes. He is not with other actors and can be filmed alone. Can we wait until the filming of the drama he signed is finished before reshooting him?"

Zheng Huairen said: "We have also considered this plan, but as far as we know, the drama "Iceland Video" is scheduled to be broadcast this summer, and we must finish filming and post-production before this time. Fortunately, this drama does not require much post-production, but if we have to wait for Zhibai, then time will be very tight."

Hearing this, Lu Yanhe nodded and asked, "What are your opinions?"

"Change the actor." Zheng Huairen said, "If Li Zhibai can play the role, it would be perfect, but the current reality is that there is no other way. We can only change the actor."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Who do you want to replace?"

Zheng Huairen looked at Lu Yanhe and said, "It would be best if you could play the role yourself. You are most familiar with the script and your appearance is also suitable for this role."

"I'm not suitable. This role requires a beautiful body of muscles, and I can't train them in such a short time." Lu Yanhe refused directly. "Also, this role requires an actor with strong male hormones, someone who has done fitness, sports, or even served in the military. I know that I'm not that kind of person."

Zheng Huairen and Jiang Zixin looked at each other, neither of them expected Lu Yanhe to refuse so bluntly.

Lu Yanhe said, "Go collect information and see which male actors who fit this image are available during the expected filming period. We can look at them one by one. In fact, Yan Liang is also suitable, but he has been in contact with another play recently."

Yan Liang hadn't signed a contract for that drama yet, but after chatting with him for the past few days, Lu Yanhe could sense that Yan Liang liked the treasure hunt script he had received. If Lu Yanhe called him at this time and told him that he couldn't act in "Squid Game" because of Li Zhibai's schedule, Yan Liang would definitely turn down that drama for loyalty and to help him act in this one, but Lu Yanhe didn't want Yan Liang to do that.

To be honest, the reason why Li Zhibai was wanted to play in "Squid Game" was because "Friends" had not been broadcast at that time, and Yan Liang was not as popular and well-known as he is now. At that time, the male lead of "Squid Game" was decided to be Mr. Jiang Jun, so in order to strengthen the appeal of the star actor for this drama, Li Zhibai was invited to play. Now that Li Zhibai can't play, Lu Yanhe will go to Yan Liang again - of course, he can make it clear, but Lu Yanhe doesn't want to give Yan Liang the feeling that in his mind, Yan Liang is Li Zhibai's spare tire.

Lu Yanhe had never looked at Yan Liang like this before.

The images and temperaments of Li Zhi and Yan Liang are very different.

The routes that the two people are taking are also slightly different.

It just so happens that Li Zhibai's image and style are more suitable for the roles in the projects that Lu Yanhe has currently brought out.

To Yan Liang——

At present, there is actually only one person in "Friends" who is suitable for the role of Yan Liang, who can perform well and shine.
-
Who would have thought that the role originally intended for "Squid Game" belonged to Li Zhibai, but due to schedule reasons, Li Zhibai had to withdraw. This news spread without a trace throughout the entertainment industry.

Lu Yanhe's phone suddenly started ringing non-stop.

The first person to contact Lu Yanhe was Li Yuefeng, with whom he had worked in "Seventeen Floors", a very popular actor who was a little scheming but not a bad person at heart.

"Yan He, I can play this role." He said this directly.

Li Yuefeng's image is indeed very suitable.

He is an athlete in "The Seventeenth Floor".

Lu Yanhe, however, had concerns. The male lead in "Squid Game" had already been played by Jiang Jun, and adding Li Yuefeng would make it easy for the audience to confuse the two actors.

In addition to Li Yuefeng, there were others who recommended themselves.

Including Kong Fan, who filmed "Late Spring" with him.

Lu Yanhe had never had such a headache before, wondering how to reject others one by one.

The key is that they are all acquaintances who have worked together before, not strangers.
-
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that someone would come to Shang Yongzhou to seek connections.

I know he is currently filming with Shang Yongzhou, so I asked Shang Yongzhou to help recommend him.

"You're so popular now." Shang Yongzhou teased Lu Yanhe, "Everyone wants to be in your play."

Lu Yanhe quickly shook his hand and said, "Brother, please stop teasing me like that, okay? I'm really overwhelmed."

Shang Yongzhou said: "Big head? Why is it so big?"

"You have no idea how many people came to me and wanted to play this role. They all thought that the role I reserved for Li Zhibai was definitely a very good and popular role."

Lu Yanhe felt helpless. He understood why everyone had such thoughts, but he was not any less troubled by it.

Shang Yongzhou asked: "Do you think this role is particularly good and will become popular?"

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"Otherwise, Zhi Bai would not have performed it. I can't cheat him."

"So everyone's reaction is not wrong." Shang Yongzhou said, "I am actually wondering why you didn't ask Yan Liang to play the role?"

Lu Yanhe did not expect that Shang Yongzhou would take the initiative to mention Yan Liang.

"Yan Liang?" Lu Yanhe said, "He, he has already contacted a new play, and he likes it very much. If I look for him now, he will definitely give up that play."

Shang Yongzhou: "I have someone here who asked me to say hello to you. I can't refuse this person. You can take a look. But whether it is suitable or not is up to you. I won't tell you those empty words. I don't know him well, and I don't know how he performs."

He took out a resume and handed it to Lu Yanhe.

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded and took it. "Will he accept the audition? Hmm? Is this Liu Zefan?"

"You know him?" Shang Yongzhou was a little surprised.

"I met him at an awards ceremony before, and I still have his contact information. Didn't he act in "Eternity" with He Yunyun?"

"Yes, 'Eternal Love' is very popular, and He Yunyun became famous overnight. Liu Zefan is also okay, but he didn't get as much as He Yunyun. He hasn't played any memorable roles in the past two years." Shang Yongzhou said, "I guess that's why he came to me to say hello. He thought that if I say hello to you, you might take it more seriously?"

Lu Yanhe nodded: "That will indeed make me pay more attention to it. You are my senior brother."

"Now that you mention that, I feel a lot more pressure." Shang Yongzhou smiled, "Since you know him, you must know him better. I'm not very familiar with him."

Lu Yanhe was a little confused. Liu Zefan must have his contact information. It was impossible for him to forget about it. Why didn't Liu Zefan take the initiative to find him, but asked Shang Yongzhou to say hello?
-
Choosing actors is always the most troublesome thing.

It's a headache when there are no actors willing to act in a role, and it's also a headache when there are too many actors vying for the role.

Zheng Huairen wanted to make "Squid Game" with an all-star cast.

The success of "Seventeenth Floor" has fully proved the market space of this theme. And this is also the script written by Lu Yanhe.

However, the two roles with the most scenes have already been cast: Jiang Jun and Jiang Yuqian.

The latter is fine, but the former is not at all capable of carrying the show in the eyes of the platform. But when Lu Yanhe signed the project with them, he made it very clear that Jiang Jun must be used to play the male lead. Therefore, in order to make the project more stable and smooth, Zheng Huairen wanted to use well-known actors to play other roles.

It would be best if they are first-tier stars who can play leading roles in other film and television dramas.

After much selection, the final list included five male actors with good reputation and image, including Li Yuefeng, Liu Zefan, and Kong Fan.

Lu Yanhe looked at the list and said, "I think it would be better to organize a round of auditions? In fact, everything is almost the same. It just depends on how well they are suited to the role."

Zheng Huairen also thought that auditions were okay, so he organized one.

However, when he heard that he had to audition, Li Yuefeng directly refused.

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"Didn't he want to play this role?"

"It's very common. When they reach their level, they generally don't take part in auditions easily. If they fail the audition and people know about it, it will affect their image," said Zheng Huairen.

Lu Yanhe wanted to say something for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.

However, Li Yuefeng himself was not Lu Yanhe's first choice, so it was okay.

Li Yuefeng did not contact Lu Yanhe again.
-
The other characters were basically decided by Aurora Video, and Lu Yanhe did not intervene.

There are quite a lot of main characters in this drama.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that for the role of the crazy girl, Northern Lights actually found Wang Jing, who had worked with him in "Late Spring".

When Lu Yanhe was filming "Late Spring" with her, he felt that Wang Jing was the most explosive among the girls. Unexpectedly, they would work together again in this drama.

It was also at this time that Lu Yanhe learned that Wang Jing had signed with Northern Lights Video and became a contracted actor of Northern Lights.

When Wang Jing was filming "Late Spring", a company approached her to sign a contract. Wang Jing also approached him to ask for his advice. At that time, he said that there was no need to rush to sign the contract, and the situation would be much better after "Late Spring" was released. Wang Jing listened to his advice, and sure enough, after "Late Spring" was released, they all became the hot cakes in the eyes of the agency, and they were fought over and the conditions offered were very good.

Lu Yanhe was very happy to see that they were able to make good progress.

In addition to Wang Jing, there is also a middle-aged female character named Han Mei-nü in the original work. Northern Lights found Lu Sui to play this role.

He is also someone Lu Yanhe knows.

They had met at the Red River Awards. When Xu Yiren won the Best Actress award, Lu Sui's face didn't collapse. But because Lu Sui had a good relationship with Jiang Yuqian, Lu Yanhe also had a pleasant chat with her.

As for the male actor, the role of the old man was played by He Dahong, a veteran actor who just won the Best Actor Award from the China Television Drama Directors Association.

The other middle-aged man was Li Songfan, who won the Red River Award.

All of them are actors who have been in the mainstream award vision in recent years.

It can be called a golden lineup.
-
Lu Yanhe didn't care about what happened next.

He doesn't have the energy or the ability.

As long as Northern Lights doesn't mess around and shoots the show carefully according to the script, with such a production lineup and the level of attention paid, the show will not be bad.

Lu Yanhe devoted all his attention to the filming of "Road to Glory".

On the day when the filming of "Road to Glory" was completed, both Lu Yanhe and Shang Yongzhou were a little emotional.

The main reason is that this movie was made with too much care.

In this movie, Lu Yanhe completely surrendered his performance to the scene and to Shang Yongzhou, and responded based on the stimulation Shang Yongzhou brought him.

It is also a fresh experience.

Not to mention Shang Yongzhou.

"This will be a very unforgettable filming experience for me," Shang Yongzhou said with a wry smile.

No matter who it is, it will probably be like this.

A hanged body was found during filming.

This may haunt you for the rest of your life.
-
After the filming of "Road to Glory" was completed, Lu Yanhe prepared a small gift for everyone and then set off on his journey home.

It's almost the Spring Festival.

People carrying large and small bags can be seen everywhere on the road, they are all going home.

When Lu Yanhe saw this situation, he immediately thought of the movie "Lost on Journey".

The film has been in production for some time.

Originally, Lu Yanhe had said he would visit the class during the winter break, but he didn't make it.

Things are happening one after another.

However, because Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were going to make a cameo appearance in this movie, Lu Yanhe planned to go with them.

Zou Dong sent Lu Yanhe to Ziyuan Bridge.

"Brother Dong, you guys just take a rest for the next two days. You don't have to accompany me. I'll also take a rest for two days. I'll trouble you again when I go to the crew of Lost on Journey with Zhi Baiyan Liang and others." Lu Yanhe said.

Zou Dong nodded and said okay.

Lu Yanhe: "I have to trouble you on New Year's Eve. This year, you will most likely be on the Spring Festival Gala. We will have a holiday on New Year's Day. Siqi and I will go abroad for a trip. You should also take a good rest for a while. This year has been too hard. We have been tossing and turning without a rest."

Zou Dong said: "It should be done."
-
Throughout this year, Lu Yanhe was very grateful to both Zou Dong and Wang Biao.

Without the two of them, he would never have been able to finish so many things in such a non-stop manner. Moreover, what Zou Dong did was far beyond the job responsibilities of a bodyguard.

Lu Yanhe thought that in addition to giving them both a generous bonus at the end of the year, he would also give them a salary increase.

He opened the door and was surprised to find that the light was on inside.

someone.

Ok?
Before Lu Yanhe came back, he clearly asked if Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were there, but they both said they had work and would be back later.

Did he not turn off the lights before going out?
Lu Yanhe called out, "Is anyone there?"

A man poked his head out from the living room.

It turned out to be Zhou Ping'an.

"Ping An...Brother? Why are you here?" Lu Yanhe stood at the door, hesitating for a moment and did not go in.

Zou Dong was about to enter the elevator when he suddenly heard Lu Yanhe ask that question. He knew there must be something strange that Lu Yanhe asked that question, so he came back.

He returned to Lu Yanhe's back, looked at Zhou Ping'an together, and asked in a low voice: "Is there a problem?"

"It's okay." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Brother Dong, please accompany me in for a while."

Zou Dong nodded and took the suitcase from Lu Yanhe.
-
"Li Zhibai is not here. He has work." Lu Yanhe said to Zhou Pingan after coming in.

"I know." Zhou Ping'an pinched his nose bridge tiredly and looked at Lu Yanhe with a mysterious expression, "I'll wait for him here."

Lu Yanhe said "oh", nodded, and asked: "Does he know you are waiting for him?"

"Sent him a message." Zhou Pingan said.

However, what he didn't say was that Li Zhibai had not replied to his messages or answered his calls for several days.

Lu Yanhe put his things down and said to Zou Dong, "Brother Dong, I'm OK here, you can go back and have a rest."

He felt that Zhou Ping'an was in good condition, and he probably just came to Li Zhibai to talk about changing his agent.

Zou Dong asked: "Don't you want me to stay here with you and wait for Li Zhibai and the others to come back?"

Lu Yanhe: "No, it's okay."

Zou Dong glanced at Zhou Ping'an and said, "I'd better stay here for a while. I won't have anything else to do when I go back anyway."

Zou Dong knew that many unpleasant things had happened between Lu Yanhe and Zhou Ping'an in the past.

Although the possibility that Zhou Ping'an wants to harm Lu Yanhe is very low, it is not impossible.

The main thing was that Zhou Ping'an was waiting in this room alone without saying hello, which was really a bit strange, and it was even inevitable to think too much.

Lu Yanhe poured a glass of water for Zhou Pingan and Zou Dong.

"Brother Dong, you must be hungry too, right? I'm going to make something to eat, do you want to eat with me?"

They just had a simple meal on the plane.

Zou Dong said yes.

Lu Yanhe asked Zhou Pingan: "Brother Pingan, what about you?"

Zhou Pingan: "I don't need it."

He added, “Thank you.”

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "You're welcome."

He went into the kitchen and rummaged through the refrigerator, where he found frozen dumplings and salted egg yolk steamed buns.

After thinking about it, I felt too lazy to make any more trouble, so I just boiled some water and steamed some dumplings and steamed buns.

I was really hungry. As soon as the fragrance wafted out, my stomach started growling.

Lu Yanhe carried out three plates of food.

"Is Wang Biao still waiting for you in the car? I'll call him and ask him to come up and have something to eat together." Lu Yanhe said.

Five minutes later, Zhou Ping'an sat on the sofa in the living room, watching Lu Yanhe and the other three sitting at the dining table nearby eating dumplings and steamed buns, enjoying their meal very much.

"..."

I actually ate it.

Zhou Ping'an took a deep breath and couldn't help but sneer.

"Brother Ping'an, are you really not going to eat it? The salted egg yolk steamed buns they bought are really good." Lu Yanhe asked again.

Zhou Pingan: "No need."

He clenched his hands.
-
Lu Yanhe sent a message to Li Zhibai, telling him that Zhou Ping'an was waiting for him to come back here.

Li Zhi Baihui: He told me that I have finished here and am on my way back, which will take about forty minutes.

Lu Yanhe: Well, drive slowly on the road.

After he finished eating, he picked up his water glass and sat in the living room.

"Brother Ping'an, do you have something urgent to ask Zhibai? It's rare to see you sitting here waiting for him." Lu Yanhe said, "You are so busy, and you are also with Ma Zhiyuan and the others."

Zhou Pingan glanced at Lu Yanhe, took a deep breath, and said, "Are you feeling quite proud now? Knowing that Li Zhibai wants to change his agent, do you feel that you have finally gotten rid of your anger?"

"I got rid of my anger a long time ago. I don't need Zhibai to help me." Lu Yanhe said, "Brother Ping'an, it's just that I feel a little sad when I see you waiting for him here. Why do people always think of trying hard only when they are about to lose something?"

Zhou Ping'an didn't say anything.

After a while, he said, "What do you know?"

"I don't understand your agents, but I understand what artists need from them," Lu Yanhe said. "I believe you must have thousands of reasons to explain your actions, but no matter how many reasons you have, in the final analysis, it's the deeds that count, not the heart. Li Zhibai is an artist you brought up. In the eyes of others, he may have a bad temper and be a rich second-generation who is always complaining about everything, but you should know that he is actually a very kind person. You are actually bullying him because he is hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. He has always been the king of talking big, but his heart is not really hard, so you always make him compromise, compromise again and again. Now that he has finally made up his mind to leave, you are stunned. You thought he would compromise again this time like before, but he didn't this time."

Zhou Ping'an clenched his teeth so tightly that the outline of his masseter muscles was visible in his jaw.

"You come to him now and persuade him to change his mind. To be honest, Brother Ping An, it's just a waste of effort. You have already let him down." Lu Yanhe was merciless. Moreover, the more he spoke, the more emotional he became. He was more or less mixed with his personal emotions. "In fact, I have long stopped understanding you. You already have Li Zhibai, why do you want to keep Ma Zhiyuan with you?"

Zhou Pingan said: "What agent would refuse to take both of them at the same time?"

"Sister Zi Yan will refuse." Lu Yanhe said bluntly, "You are a manager, of course you want to have more popular artists under you, but don't forget, Brother Ping An, if the artist can't get a sense of trust and security from the manager, then he really has few people he can trust. You really don't understand what the artist wants from the manager, especially an artist like Li Zhibai who is already very popular."

Zhou Pingan was a little annoyed and said, "If you guys hadn't been stirring up trouble behind my back, Li Zhibai wouldn't have gone to Lin Suyang even if he had a problem with me. He's just being mad at me!"

"If we had been stirring up discord behind your back, Li Zhibai wouldn't have had to wait until now to leave you." Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, "It's up to you. Anyway, I've said everything I wanted to say. Even though you didn't fulfill your obligations as a manager to me, at least you were very responsible to Li Zhibai and Yan Liang. You have always had a very positive influence on their careers until you started to manage Ma Zhiyuan at the same time. If you never realize this and still want to appease Li Zhibai with soft tactics, then Li Zhibai's departure is just the beginning."

Zhou Ping'an's eyes were filled with anger. "What do you mean?"

"It's not easy for Yan Liang to become famous, and then what? Does he have any new plans? "Friends" became popular at the beginning of last year. Did he get any good resources afterwards? He is now running business, recording programs, and participating in various activities every day. What about "Idol Era"? Have you found people and resources to prepare a good stage for him? There is also filming. He can't just shoot "Friends" for the rest of his life, right?"

Lu Yanhe looked at him coldly.

"You want to manage two, three, or even seven or eight first-line artists at the same time, but the premise is that you can arrange everyone well and make sure that no one slacks off. The question is, can you do it?" Lu Yanhe's eyes were as cold as ice. "Do you know why I'm telling you this? Because Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were clearly at their best in the past two years, but in your hands, they only saw the three words "living off their past achievements"."

Zhou Ping'an's cheeks were twitching with anger.

However, at this moment, facing the aggressive Lu Yanhe, he was speechless for a moment.

It was obvious that what Lu Yanhe said was not objective and full of loopholes. It was obvious that he forced Li Zhibai to take the popular dramas in the past two years, but Lu Yanhe destroyed all his efforts and achievements with one blow.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Ping'an would definitely fight back.

But tonight, Zhou Ping'an didn't speak.

Lu Yanhe's words were like arrows shooting into his heart.

It's not that Zhou Ping'an doesn't understand or know these things, but he has been subconsciously ignoring them in the past. But now Lu Yanhe has opened up all his knowledge, forcing Zhou Ping'an to face these things directly.
-
Li Zhibai went downstairs but did not go upstairs.

He called Zhou Ping'an and said, "I'm here, come down, we don't need to talk about our affairs in front of Yan He."

Zhou Ping'an agreed.

Zhou Ping'an went downstairs.

Lu Yanhe didn't know what Li Zhibai said to Zhou Ping'an that night, nor did he know what the two of them talked about.

After Li Zhibai came back, Lu Yanhe wanted to talk to him about this matter, but Li Zhibai said he was very tired, didn't say anything, and went back to his room to rest.

Lu Yanhe did not ask any further questions.

Li Zhibai is a person who cherishes old times, even for someone like Zhou Pingan.

If Li Zhibai really hated Zhou Ping'an as much as he said, they would have broken up long ago. How could they have continued to work together for so long?

Yan Liang didn't come back until one o'clock in the morning.

He looked tired.

Lu Yanhe heard the sound of doors opening and closing outside and woke up as if from a dream, only to find that it was already early morning.

He closed the novel in his hand, yawned belatedly, and said, "That's all for today's live broadcast. Bye."

He turned off the live broadcast and got up to go out.

"You haven't slept yet?" Yan Liang looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.

"I was reading a novel just now, and I was so absorbed in it that I forgot the time." Lu Yanhe said, "Why did you come back so late today?"

"Something went wrong during the shoot, so we finished two hours later than expected," Yan Liang said. "We have to catch a flight early tomorrow morning."

“Any other work?”

"Well, there is a company annual meeting performance tomorrow night."

"Why did Zhou Ping'an accept this kind of performance for you at the annual party?"

"Oh, it's not an ordinary annual meeting, it's the annual meeting of the brand company I endorse. They sent me an invitation. They are a big sponsor and they give generous money, so I have no choice but to go."

"You are already running around for announcements every day, and yet you take on this kind of work." Lu Yanhe felt helpless.

Yan Liang: "Of course you should take more work when there is work. Opportunities to make money are not always available."

Lu Yanhe didn't expect Yan Liang to say this now.

Ever since "Friends" became popular last year, his salary should have increased a lot.

Logically speaking, given Yan Liang's spending habits, the money he earned was more than enough.

Yan Liang said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed too. Oh, by the way, didn't you say Zhou Ping'an is here? How did they chat today?"

"They didn't talk in the room, they talked downstairs. I don't know what they talked about, but after Li Zhibai came back, he was a little depressed. He didn't say anything and went back to his room to rest." Lu Yanhe said, "I didn't ask any more questions. I guess he was in a bad mood. Let him rest for two days."

"Yeah." Yan Liang said, "On my way back just now, I received a call from Zhou Ping'an, asking me how the program recording was going, and said that we could have dinner together after I came back. I was shocked, it felt like he had completely changed, very strange, and suddenly he was asking about my well-being."

After hearing what Yan Liang said, Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Isn't this good?"

"I'm used to his capitalist side and can't stand his sudden change of image." Yan Liang said directly.

Lu Yanhe: "Get used to it. I think he will treat you this way for a long time to come."

Yan Liang smiled sarcastically.

Of course he knew why Lu Yanhe said that.

Just because I know this, I find it even more ironic.
-
Lu Yanhe woke up at nine o'clock the next morning, and he woke up when he heard the alarm clock.

I don’t know when the good biological clock I had developed in the past was slowly destroyed.

Yan Liang has already left and is on the plane.

He walked out of the room with sleepy eyes, preparing to brush his teeth and wash his face, when he suddenly saw Li Zhibai laying out a yoga mat in the living room and doing plank exercises.

This scene woke Lu Yanhe up.

what? !
This scene is like you suddenly see a sloth doing pull-ups while grabbing a branch with both hands.

Too incredible.

Li Zhibai was so lazy that he created a stereotype.

This person is practicing dancing in the rehearsal room, basically lying on the floor most of the time.

"What... has provoked you?"

"That bastard Zhou Ping'an said that I'm lazy, bad-tempered, self-righteous, and arrogant. If I change my agent and he doesn't take me anymore, my image will be exposed in less than three months and my true colors will be ruined." Li Zhibai said angrily, "I want him to open his eyes and see if I can become more popular without him."

Lu Yanhe: "...Although what he said is problematic, doesn't your reaction mean that you think he's right? Are you deliberately doing plank support to prove that you're not lazy?"

Li Zhibai: "The point is, without him, I can be more self-disciplined."

Lu Yanhe: "...I really don't know what to say for a moment."

"If you don't know what to say, don't say anything." Li Zhibai was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, with veins bulging out of his neck.

Lu Yanhe: "It's up to you. Come on, I'm going to brush my teeth."

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Lu Yanhe opened the refrigerator and looked around, thinking about what to eat in the morning.

Hungry, very hungry.

But I had already eaten dumplings and steamed buns last night and didn’t want to eat them again.

Lu Yanhe decided to go out for something to eat.

He asked Li Zhibai if he wanted to go with him.

Li Zhibai got up panting and sweating, and said, "Let's go."

Lu Yanhe was surprised to see the sweat on Li Zhibai's body.

"You are serious about this."

Li Zhibai: "Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Lu Yanhe: "Okay, let's see how long you can hold on."

Li Zhibai gave him the middle finger.

In the middle of winter, it's freezing cold as soon as you go out.

Li Zhibai, wrapped in a down jacket, asked, "Why don't we order takeout?"

"I'm too hungry. I can't wait that long." Lu Yanhe said.

They found a breakfast shop nearby and each had a bowl of noodles.

After finishing the noodles, on the way back, Li Zhibai suddenly said, "I have to go to the company tomorrow to change my agent. From tomorrow on, Lin Suyang will officially be my agent."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Seeing that Lu Yanhe only nodded but had no other reaction, Li Zhibai immediately asked, "Aren't you worried that I might change my mind and stay with Zhou Ping'an?"

"I haven't worried about it." Lu Yanhe said, "In this matter, you will only choose to regret it under one circumstance and continue to stay with Zhou Ping'an."

"what's the situation?"

"Zhou Ping'an no longer takes Ma Zhiyuan with him." (End of this chapter)
