Become famous another day.
Chapter 526: Strong 1
Huang Cheng is a senior producer in the industry, especially one like him who has been tied to a top TV director for a long time, his status and position are even higher.
Why do we keep talking about the chain of contempt? You can treat it as existing, or you can treat it as not existing.
Because, if you really reach the top level in the field of TV dramas like Huang Cheng, no matter how high your contempt chain is, you don’t ask others for anything, it’s others who ask you for anything.
The drama starring Lu Yanhe was a hit and the screenwriter was also very strong, but the projects produced by Huang Cheng were not bad either. Even if they did not have a 100% hit success rate like Lu Yanhe, they were all good projects with good results.
Wherever Huang Cheng goes, he is respected.
If Lu Yanhe called him seriously and asked him to help persuade Chen Lingling, Huang Cheng would not be willing to buy his idea.
After all, he and Chen Lingling have been friends for so many years, so to be honest, he is definitely on Chen Lingling's side.
But Lu Yanhe suddenly did this, although it was not stupid, it was almost as effective as stupid. Huang Cheng was really confused by him and couldn't keep it to himself.
Huang Cheng finally understood what was going on after listening to Lu Yanhe's story.
He said: "How can Lingling be suitable to be a mentor on a variety show? With her temper, she will scold half of the people and make them cry. Then, won't the fans of those actors get angry and scold her?"
Lu Yanhe said, "Brother Cheng, although the director has a bad temper, she is really professional. Moreover, when she scolds people, she is talking about the matter at hand, not just losing her temper randomly. Today's audiences are not as superficial as you think. They can tell good from bad."
Huang Cheng: "No, no, why bother? She is already such a big director, and she still has to endure this. It will be so uncomfortable. Now recording a program basically takes more than ten hours. And yours, I can tell from the moment I hear it, it is not easy to record."
"Brother Cheng, how could the variety show led by Linghe make Director Lingling suffer so much?" Lu Yanhe said, "Besides, Brother Cheng, this is definitely a good platform for Director Lingling to let the audience see what kind of director she is - you know, there are rumors on the Internet that the director has a bad temper and is a tigress. Many actors are unwilling to work with her again after working with her. This is all misunderstanding! Why let the director be misunderstood like this?"
Huang Cheng: "People on the Internet say all kinds of things, but we don't care."
"But, even if you don't say it, you must feel bad inside when you're scolded. Brother Cheng, you haven't been scolded before, so you don't know. But Director Lingling must feel bad inside, especially since it's all misunderstanding." Lu Yanhe said sincerely, "I've worked with Director Lingling before, so I know she's a very good director, but it's useless for me to know it alone. Seeing is believing, and the best way to eliminate misunderstandings is to let the audience see Director Lingling on the show."
Huang Cheng: "You are really good at fooling people with your mouth."
Lu Yanhe: "It's mainly because I'm confident."
"Confident that no one will reject you?"
"I don't have that confidence. You and Director Lingling rejected me so quickly that I didn't even have time to react." Lu Yanhe complained, then continued, "I am very confident in what I want to do. It will definitely become a phenomenal program, and it will become a benchmark in the industry."
Huang Cheng really couldn't say anything about Lu Yanhe's confident attitude.
Because Lu Yanhe's success theory has become a legend in the industry.
If someone else said this, Huang Cheng would laugh at that person's shamelessness.
After hearing what Lu Yanhe said, Huang Cheng could only sigh in disappointment in his heart: So what.
Indeed, so what?
A phenomenal program, an industry benchmark——
The problem is that Chen Lingling is now one of the top TV drama directors in the country.
She herself is a role model.
Lu Yanhe closed his eyes and began to hum: "Oh, Brother Cheng——"
Huang Cheng: "Stop it!"
Lu Yanhe stopped immediately.
Huang Cheng: "But you are right. This program allows the audience to see the real Lingling."
Lu Yanhe: "Yes!"
Huang Cheng: "This is your show, you won't edit it randomly, right?"
"Brother Cheng, I still have to continue filming with Director Ling. How could I make random cuts?" Lu Yanhe said depressedly, "You don't trust me at all."
Huang Cheng: "This is just to be on the safe side. I need to confirm with you."
Lu Yanhe: "No matter which program team you ask, they will definitely promise you a success, but there are not many who can do what they say like me."
Huang Cheng: "You have really become a little thick-skinned. I remember you were not this thick-skinned when you were filming "River of Silence"."
"It's mainly because people are influenced by the bad company they keep. I've been infected by Li Zhibai since I was around him every day."
Huang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Cheng was in a trance for a moment.
If Lu Yanhe had changed, Huang Cheng thought it was normal.
Huang Cheng thinks it is normal for an actor to become proud, arrogant, or conceited, no matter how proud, arrogant, or conceited he is, when he achieves in just a few years what other actors would take ten or even twenty years to achieve.
But why did this guy become so shameless?
what happened?
What the hell is going on?! -
In addition to resident instructors, there are of course flying instructors.
Lu Yanhe made phone calls one after another, including Zeng Qiao, Huang Kairen, Jiang Yuqian, Jiang Jun, Bao Zhenzhu, Liu Zi, Jia Long... Lu Yanhe's circle of contacts was fully utilized at this moment.
In fact, if the identity of a mentor did not require certain qualifications and achievements, Lu Yanhe would have more people to invite.
However, there is no need to rush.
The show doesn't end after just one season.
Just take your time, don't rush.
The most important thing is the actors who come to participate in the competition.
The most crucial point is whether this program can introduce some actors who were not so recognized or known before.
Looking back at the original program, Lu Yanhe felt that the program was truly magical. Lan Yingying's skills and charm as an actor, which were not fully utilized in film and television dramas due to the character's personality, were fully displayed in this program, and it even made people feel the relaxation and familiarity of a big-name actor.
The female champion, who has always been looked down upon, also performed in this show with every performance showing a quality that is completely different from her performances in film and television dramas.
If a program can allow many actors to have such qualities seen by others, and be discovered by producers and directors that this actor can actually give such difficult and high-quality performances, then that is the greatest practical significance of this stage for an actor.
The premise is that they have such qualities.
Lu Yanhe sent messages to all his friends in the entertainment industry, asking them to recommend actors they knew who were suitable for this show.
So, while the outside world was still discussing Lu Yanhe's trip to Venice, another wave of news blew up in the industry and circle.
——Lu Yanhe is going to host an acting competition program? !
——What is he doing?
After Zhou Ping'an heard the news, his first reaction was to find Yan Liang and ask him not to be a contestant.
"It's fine if you can be a guest, but you must not compete on this show. You don't need to lose face on a stage like this with your current status."
Yan Liang was speechless.
"Yan He never thought of looking for me from the beginning."
Zhou Pingan: "That's fine."
Yan Liang glanced at him and said, "But Yan He guessed that you would definitely come to tell me this."
Zhou Pingan: "Nonsense! I will definitely not allow you to go to such a thing. You are a top star now, how can you possibly participate in such a show!"
Yan Liang: "Yan He asked me to tell you that you can consider sending Cheng Hai and Fu Li over."
Zhou Ping'an was stunned.
Yan Liang: "The message has been passed on. You can make your own decision. But no matter what, don't tell Cheng Hai that we took the initiative to bring it up, if you don't want Cheng Hai to feel uncomfortable."
People who were in the same group back then have developed very differently now.
Back then, Cheng Hai was much more popular than Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai, but now he is almost forgotten.
It is conceivable that if Cheng Hai knew that it was Lu Yanhe who invited him to participate in this program, Cheng Hai would definitely feel embarrassed.
Zhou Pingan asked: "You guys...are still thinking of helping Cheng Hai?"
"He has always had a good relationship with us, but because you hated Yan He in the beginning, you forced them not to associate with Yan He, so the relationship became distant. Later, Yan He became more and more famous, and Cheng Hai also had to save face. How could he distance himself from Yan He and then come to get close to Yan He when he became famous?" Yan Liang said, "Yan He has always been much kinder than you think. He knows why Cheng Hai distanced himself from him, so he never blamed him."
Zhou Ping'an was silent.
Yan Liang: "Director Luo also praised Cheng Hai's acting skills at the beginning."
Zhou Pingan nodded, "I know, I'll tell him."
"Yan He is not a tutor either. The tutors are Chen Lingling, Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou. Cheng Hai can come and have fun without worrying about it." Yan Liang said, "Maybe he can learn a lot."
-
"Chen Ziliang wants to come? Rejected." Lu Yanhe said directly, "I don't want him to get involved."
Chen Ziyan said: "He is a popular artist. If he comes, the show will be popular."
"No need, our show is not lacking in popularity." Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Zi Yan, Chen Ziliang and Ma Zhiyuan, I don't want these two people to get involved in any project related to me."
"In that case, forget it." Chen Ziyan nodded. "It's a pity. I thought it was just a variety show and you wouldn't care so much."
"Of course I care. This show is bound to be popular. If it helps him become popular, I will definitely regret letting him come." Lu Yanhe said, "If he finds other ways to make himself popular again, then I can't do anything about it. If he becomes popular again because of me, I will definitely not accept it."
Lu Yanhe's disgust and hatred for Chen Ziliang and Ma Zhiyuan ran deep into his bones.
He is actually a very tolerant person.
But he would never be able to forgive someone he truly hated.
"Okay then." Chen Ziyan said, "There's one more thing. Longyan Pictures hopes that you can mention the movie "Burning" twice at the Venice International Film Festival to warm up the movie."
"what?"
"Although the film has been shot, there is still a long time to go in post-production. The film needs to maintain its popularity."
Lu Yanhe thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay, if I forget by then, Sister Zi Yan, please remind me."
"Ah."
"The Birth of an Actor" has become very popular in the circle.
First-tier actors are definitely not considered.
Those who are mainly hesitating and considering are second- and third-tier actors.
They are the kind of people who have some fame, or were popular in the past, but are now neither here nor there. They want to make some progress, but they think it is too embarrassing to go on stage as a contestant and it would lose their dignity.
Lu Yanhe didn't pay much attention to this group of people.
He himself has some potential candidates in mind.
For example, Wang Dashan, the actor in "Lost on Journey".
For example, the characters in "Late Spring".
However, they all belong to the ranks of young actors, and more representative actors are needed.
For example, those who have excellent acting skills but are not very famous, similar to Liu Mintao and Zhou Yiwei at the time.
For example, some actors whose acting skills cannot be considered as veteran ones, but whose popularity and fame are still acceptable, such as Tan Songyun, Liu Yan, Zeng Shunxi and others at that time.
For example, actors with unique characteristics and stories, similar to Fan Tiantian at that time.
……
When Lu Yanhe was thinking about how to make this program, in addition to thinking about the reasons why the program became so popular in the first place, he was also repeatedly reminding himself that although this was an acting PK program, it must not be made into a high-brow program or a show where great scholars chat and laugh.
There must be all kinds of people, and putting them together will make the show interesting.
Although many people criticize the variety show scripts and the show characters, it is undeniable that this show needs these things to be interesting.
The script for a variety show is not about writing lines for each person and having everyone perform them on the show like a play.
Instead, we need to make various dramatic script arrangements. For example, Shu Chang and Xin Zhilei were put in the same group in the first episode. The chemistry between the two was so intense that they became the first hit of the show.
Lu Yanhe's script here is that the three mentors in the program are all highly professional people, so the program must also introduce the voices of the other party to avoid the three mentors saying things that are too professional and difficult for the audience to understand.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe discussed with everyone and felt that they should invite a few special commentators for each issue.
Therefore, this important task fell on Linyu.
Lu Yanhe has only one requirement: be professional but not pretentious, be inclusive, and make the comments easy to understand.
Lin Yu understood Lu Yanhe's meaning and went to make arrangements.
-
Lu Yanhe doesn't try to make a fortune quietly or give people surprises.
Variety shows don’t work that way.
It must be done with great fanfare, and publicity must be widely spread to ensure that the trending searches are always on the list.
This is in line with the impression of "explosion" and has attracted attention from people inside and outside the industry.
So, as soon as the contract was signed, "The Birth of an Actor" first released the posters of the host and convener.
Lu Yanhe and Peng Zhixing were the first to spark the first wave of discussion.
The next day, the program released the list of "one mentor + one flying mentor": Chen Bige and Huang Kairen.
"Rouge" group.
On the third day, it was Chen Lingling and Zeng Qiao, the combination of "Phoenix Terrace" and "River of Silence".
On the fourth day, it was Shang Yongzhou and Fu Kai, the groups of "Carpe Diem" and "Road to Glory".
Posters were released one after another, and names refreshed everyone's understanding of the show.
The combination of these names shocked the industry.
After all, these people rarely appear on variety shows.
Such a configuration is comparable to the lineup of a mainstream film festival.
Some people even joked that "this show might as well be renamed "Lu Yanhe and His Friends"."
Indeed, they are all people who have worked with Lu Yanhe.
However, no one wants to stop watching it because of this.
With so many big names in the film and television industry gathered in one show, who wouldn’t want to see what this is all about?
Northern Lights video.
Zheng Huairen looked at the temporarily opened backstage data of "The Birth of the Actors" reservations and sighed: "It has to be Lu Yanhe. He can attract people and stir things up. He has a lot of tricks. He changes people every day to bring the show to the hot search. It hasn't even started the official recording stage yet, but he has made such a big fuss. It's really amazing."
"We can't do better than him in movies, we can't do better than him in TV series, and now we can't do better than him in variety shows." Someone laughed.
Zheng Huairen: "This program can be done by someone else, but they definitely can't get such a lineup."
"This lineup is too powerful. How much will it cost?"
"We haven't even started recruiting investors yet, but with the current popularity, do you still have to worry about not having money?" Zheng Huairen said, "Sponsors will only rush to give money."
"I really envy such popularity."
"They are really good at marketing. They revealed a little bit on this day to whet people's appetite and increase everyone's expectations. It's a typical example of going viral before it's even aired."
……
At the same time, we perform the play, buy the copyright, and find a screenwriter to adapt it into a script of about fifteen to twenty minutes.
None of this behind-the-scenes work can be neglected.
A lot of preliminary preparation work also requires a lot of investment.
Fortunately, this program brought in Yuehu TV and Aurora Video, as well as Lu Yanhe's Linghe. The three companies worked together to raise the preparation funds without having to borrow money from the bank.
However, in order to ease the financial pressure, they also quickly started to attract investment. There are many brands in the market that are interested in this program, but everyone also needs to consider the production cycle and duration of this program.
If the program will not be broadcast until next year or the year after, no one would be willing to pay a large sum of money now. Even if it is put in the bank and the interest is earned, it will be a considerable income.
Lu Yanhe was too lazy to take care of these specific matters.
He couldn't control it either.
It’s just that his endorsement brand “Baixing” stationery had already greeted them early in the morning, wanting to compete for the title sponsorship of this program.
"Baixing" is one of the few brands endorsed by Lu Yanhe that takes the mass route. Since it is a stationery brand, what it needs is fame and national recognition.
Lu Yanhe's program is not the kind of funny or playful one, and "Baixing" feels that it is in line with its brand image.
"Bai Xing" was also determined to win the title, and directly offered 2 million yuan for the title sponsorship fee, but it wanted it to be exclusive.
For a non-series variety show, this sponsorship fee is among the highest prices.
However, whether "Baixing" can win in the end will depend on the bids of other brands.
Seeing that "The Birth of the Actors" was so popular with the brand, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
You can put aside the things here for the time being and leave the follow-up matters to more professional people.
He is leaving for the Venice International Film Festival.
-
"Lu, how many days will you stay in Venice?" Lily Williams asked cheerfully on the phone.
When the filming of "The Mist" was completed, Lily Williams said somewhat sadly that she didn't know when they would meet again, but she didn't expect to meet at a film festival so soon.
This time, Lily Williams came with another movie she starred in, which was shortlisted for the main competition unit, in which she played the second female lead.
"I'll stay for three days. I'll arrive on September 3rd, do some promotional work for the screening on the 4th and 5th, and leave on the 6th," said Lu Yanhe.
"I didn't arrive until the 5th, but you left on the 6th!" Lily was a little depressed. "Are you free on the evening of the 5th? Can we have dinner together? I won't be at the hotel until about 5pm."
"On the evening of the 5th, I will hold a banquet and invite some friends to attend. If you are free, come with me?" Lu Yanhe said, "It's a rare opportunity to hold an exhibition of my works. I have to entertain some friends who come to support me."
Lily heard this and said, "Okay, is this dinner open to the public? Do we have to walk the red carpet?"
"It has not been confirmed yet, but there may be a red carpet photo session," said Lu Yanhe.
"Okay, then I'd better bring a few more sets of clothes with me. I must appear beautifully." Lily said with a smile.
-
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that the screening of his work in Venice this time also attracted quite a few people.
Even the Thai actress Cai Na, with whom he had met once before, sent him an email, asking if she could get an invitation to a screening of his work.
Lu Yanhe immediately replied, "Of course." He then explained, "I'm sorry, I've been busy preparing a show recently and haven't had time to confirm who will attend the Venice International Film Festival and send out invitations to everyone."
In fact, Lu Yanhe didn't really care about this matter. It was Chen Ziyan and the official people from the Venice International Film Festival who organized it.
He had already contacted all the people in China, but Lu Yanhe didn't know many foreign filmmakers.
Lu Yanhe gave Chen Ziyan Cai Na's email address and told her about this.
Chen Ziyan said, "Okay, then the screening of your work is going to be quite large, almost as large as the films in the main competition unit."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
“It’s mainly because we have a lot of our own people.”
"The film festival organizing committee also invited some foreign stars."
"is it?"
"Well, there are still quite a few people who are interested in you." Chen Ziyan smiled, "Especially the film critics. The film critics' love for you is even close to partiality."
Lu Yanhe: "Thank you, Linyu."
"Linyu is just a bridge. The key lies in you." Chen Ziyan looked at him thoughtfully. "You know, film critics are usually more critical of handsome actors and beautiful actresses, but they seem to be particularly fond of you. I still don't understand why."
In fact, a large part of Lu Yanhe's international fame and current influence comes from the recognition and praise from film critics from all over the world, which has earned him the love and benefits of the media.
Chen Ziyan said, "I have already made a list of media people to be invited to your thank-you dinner, and I have checked it with Siqi and Linyu. Take a look and see if there are any people who need to be added. Don't miss anyone."
Lu Yanhe said yes.
-
The reason for holding this thank-you dinner was that many friends did come to support him this time, and he was unable to thank them all one by one, so it was better to hold an event like this to thank them all at once.
Secondly, the Venice International Film Festival organized such a screening event for him. Regardless of the purpose, it left a brilliant and honorable mark on his career resume. Lu Yanhe also reciprocated by organizing a star-studded celebrity event at the Venice International Film Festival.
What's more, those who came to support Lu Yanhe, not to mention those from abroad, even those from China, their time is precious and their schedules are tight.
They came to support Lu Yanhe, and Lu Yanhe should give back to them as a matter of course.
Holding such a dinner can provide a star-studded event venue for the Venice International Film Festival, giving the media new material to shoot and report.
Internally, at the dinner, there were photographers and reporters from major media outlets who specialized in covering the film festival, as well as producers and directors invited by Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan.
Such an occasion can provide a lot of convenience for everyone. Introducing people to each other can be a mutually beneficial utilitarianism, and of course it can also be a dinner party that creates opportunities for everyone to get to know each other.
Soon, news came from Chen Ziyan.
Lu Yanhe’s endorsement brand “Math” agreed to sponsor the dinner.
“Although it was a private dinner hosted by us, if there was no brand sponsorship, it would still be considered bad in the eyes of many people, as it means that there is no brand to pay for it.” Chen Ziyan said, “Of course, Math basically agreed immediately.”
-
"Young Days" began the second phase of recording in mid-to-late August.
The recording at this stage mainly records them going to a farm and helping with farm work.
The second phase of recording had already been scheduled.
Looking at this arrangement now, it inexplicably forms a sharp contrast with the third phase of the Venice International Film Festival.
A group of people complained on the departing bus.
"Aren't we living a slow life? Why do we have to do farm work?"
"It was too hasty. I should have asked what I would be recording this season before signing the contract. If I had known I would have to work, I should have asked for leave."
"Three days of exposure to the sun and then walking the red carpet in Venice? How about we just make an appointment to get a tan?" Xiao Yun said to the other girls.
Liu Zhiyin took something out of her bag and silently gestured to her face.
"Damn, what is this?!" Xiao Yun widened his eyes in shock.
Lu Yanhe was also stunned, then reacted.
Isn't this a facekini?!
Liu Zhiyin said: "I've prepared one for each of you."
"Too powerful, sister!" Xiao Yun was shocked.
"Female stars are female stars." Li Zhibai clicked his tongue three times.
Liu Zhiyin pointed directly at the camera and said, "Be careful not to be accused of sexism. What do you mean female stars are female stars? Do you male stars not need to manage your image?"
Li Zhibai: "...Don't take it too seriously."
He chuckled, "I can't get tanned anyway."
Liu Zhiyin turned to Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang and said, "I hope you two can take off his clothes and tie him to a telephone pole in the next five days to see if he gets tanned."
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang burst into laughter at the same time.
Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, and he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he shouted, "Take it!"
Li Zhibai yelled "Fuck" again.
-
Lu Yanhe quite likes this arrangement of doing farm work.
If a program wants to have lasting vitality, it must constantly innovate and have something new to show the audience.
Lu Yanhe likes this farm work content because it is relatively realistic. It is not pretentious, nor does it deliberately set up some celebrity artists to be flustered and make a fool of themselves while doing farm work.
In this clip, they came to a local farmer's home.
Li Zhenzhen said in the car: "We actually thought of this task in a message on our program. The message was from an international student studying abroad. He said that this year is his first year studying abroad, but only his grandparents are at home because his parents are also working in other places. At this time of year in previous years, he would use the summer vacation to chop the firewood needed for autumn and winter at home, repair the tiles on the roof, and prepare everything that could be prepared, so that when he finishes the summer vacation and goes to school, his grandparents can do less work."
When Li Zhenzhen told this story, everyone quieted down and listened attentively.
"So, we thought of helping him do all these things. Of course, we also want to see how you guys would perform these farm tasks if you have never done them before." Li Zhenzhen said, "This is an era of increasingly developed urbanization. Rural areas have gradually moved away from our perspective, but in fact, agriculture still exists widely in our lives, so we hope to present such content in the program."
Li Zhenzhen's words seemed to be directed to the artists, but in fact she was also expressing to the audience in front of the camera her original intention of creating such content.
Lu Yanhe thought this was a good topic.
The world in the show should be varied and colorful. There are mountains, rivers, cities, and towns. The prosperity of the world lies not only in its fireworks, but also in its all-encompassing nature.
-
Of course, this is just the intention. To put it more deeply, as a variety show, this kind of content also has a sense of contrast and is watchable.
During the official recording session, except for Lu Yanhe, everyone else was indeed quite flustered.
Only Lu Yanhe worked in an orderly manner. He could make fire and dig nests. He knew what fruits to eat in the mountains and forests, and knew how to avoid places where snakes and beasts might appear.
Xiao Yun looked at Lu Yanhe with admiration and asked him, how come you know everything.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that I grew up in the countryside?"
The memories, intuition and instincts left by his original body allowed him to feel at home in this unfamiliar environment.
Grandpa and grandma were also very polite to them.
On the first day they arrived, I cooked a large table of dishes for them, almost all of which were meat dishes, with only two bowls of vegetables.
Most of these artists control their diet all year round.
There was so much meat on the table that they were a little hesitant to eat.
Lu Yanhe said bluntly: "Don't worry about eating. In the next few days, no matter how much you eat, you won't gain a pound. If you eat less, you may fall to the ground tomorrow due to low blood sugar."
Lu Yanhe's words frightened them and made them look confused.
Is it so bitter?
Once they pick up their chopsticks, the dishes on the table will whet their taste buds.
So delicious.
It smells so good that once they start eating, they can’t put their chopsticks down.
"I feel like the meat of this fish is sticky, it's different from the fish I've eaten before."
"Because it's a pond fish, freshly caught from the pond."
Lu Yanhe said: "In fact, the green vegetables are the most different. These green vegetables are just picked from the field and fried with oil. They are very fresh and taste completely different."
The group of people ate so much that their stomachs were bloated.
And just as they had said to Lu Yanhe before, in the next few days, they were so tired that they didn't even want to take a shower after dinner every night.
Li Zhibai directly held his calloused palms to the camera and said, "To prevent you from saying that we are pretending, we have been working honestly these days and have not been lazy at all."
At this time, Yan Liang walked past Li Zhibai and heard what he was saying. He said bluntly, "Don't worry, no one is saying you are lazy now."
The next second, Yan Liang said: "They will only say that you are crispy, bad, and trash."
Li Zhibai's expression changed instantly and he roared, "How are you better than me?"
The girls behind us supported each other and looked at the people in front of us with disbelief and sighed.
"How can they still have the energy to roar so loudly?" Singer Song Linxin was really tired and barely able to breathe.
We had our last dinner together, took our last nap, and prepared to leave early the next morning.
The old man was very polite and prepared a piece of bacon and a bottle of radish peels for each of them, both of which were homemade.
Lu Yanhe and the others thanked him with a smile and accepted it politely.
After getting on the bus, everyone sat in the car, looking at the mountain and water scenery outside the window, and was quiet for a long time.
Li Zhenzhen didn't raise the horn and speak until the car drove out of the village and arrived in the town.
"Everyone has worked hard."
"You have worked hard too." Liu Zhiyin said.
These days, they are working under the sun, and the crew is also working under the sun. They are doing various farm work, and they are also carrying cameras to shoot. Who wouldn't be tired?
At this moment, a voice came from outside the car window: "Stop! Stop!"
It's a very familiar voice.
Because it was early in the morning, there were few people on the street and it was not noisy, so the shouting was very clear.
A motorcycle suddenly came to their car window. The old man who had been staying at their house for the past few days sat on the back of the motorcycle and patted the window with his hands.
Everyone in the car was startled and quickly shouted to the driver to stop.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Too dangerous!"
……
They got out of the car one after another.
The old man got off the motorcycle swiftly, took out a very thick envelope from his arms, and stuffed it into the hand of Peng Zhixing, who was closest to him, without saying a word.
"Take this back!" the old man said, "This is not popular!"
This was something they secretly put under their pillows before leaving in the morning. It contained 30,000 yuan.
It’s not much, just a token of their appreciation.
"I've been eating and living at your house these days, so this is what I should give you." Peng Zhixing reacted immediately and said.
The old man didn't listen to him, "Your director has already paid for our food and accommodation."
"That's them, we are us. We have been asking you and grandma to take care of us these days."
"Don't waste your words, take it back!" The old man refused to accept it, turned around and walked away, got on his motorcycle, and waved, "Have a safe journey!"
He urged the young man on the motorcycle to drive.
So they went back at lightning speed.
They all stayed there, looking at each other.
"You sent it back from such a long distance? We were worried that he wouldn't want to accept it, so we secretly stuffed it under his pillow." Li Zhibai said in surprise.
After they got back into the car, Li Zhenzhen looked at them with a smile on her face.
"Don't worry, we've already given them money, and they understand your intentions, that's enough." Li Zhenzhen said, "I thought some of you would complain and leave halfway, but I didn't expect you all to stick with it. It's beyond my expectation."
"Who are you looking down on?" Li Zhibai snorted.
Li Zhenzhen asked: "But, there is actually one more thing."
"Huh?" Everyone was a little confused.
Li Zhenzhen said: "Originally we didn't plan to talk about this on the show, but Gao Yuan, the grandson of my grandparents, was the first person to leave a message under our show. He asked us to express his gratitude on the show on his behalf."
"Thank you?" Everyone was confused and didn't understand.
Li Zhenzhen said: "This is really a big coincidence. Of course, it can't be called a coincidence, because it is because of this incident that he became an audience of our show. Have you ever wondered how this classmate, whose family seems unable to afford him to study abroad, could go abroad to study?"
Yan Liang asked in confusion: "Didn't you get a scholarship?"
Qin Zhibai nodded: "Many people rely on scholarships to study abroad."
Li Zhenzhen was stunned.
She didn't seem to expect this answer.
"Well, he doesn't rely on scholarships," said Li Zhenzhen.
Only then did everyone really freeze.
Li Zhenzhen's eyes fell on Lu Yanhe: "He was able to study abroad after receiving an offer from Cambridge University because of the scholarship program set up by Yanhe."
Lu Yanhe opened his mouth in shock.
The others also looked at Lu Yanhe in shock.
Lu Yanhe also set up a student aid fund project?
No one has ever heard of this.
In fact, Lu Yanhe himself is not quite clear.
"Wait, Sister Zhenzhen, don't rush to praise me. I don't know what's going on." Lu Yanhe quickly interrupted this sudden talk, "Let me make a phone call to confirm it first."
Lu Yanhe quickly dialed Chen Ziyan's number.
"Sister Zi Yan, are you doing a student aid fund project?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Ziyan: "Yes, didn't you give me 10 million in the past two years so that I could do charity together? Two years ago, I worked with a charity organization to do a student aid fund project, and your share was included in it."
She asked again: "What's wrong, why do you ask this suddenly?"
Lu Yanhe groaned, "It's nothing. I just heard that I have such a project. I'm confused, so I'm asking."
After hanging up the phone, everyone looked at him.
In fact, no one else in the car heard what Chen Ziyan said on the phone.
But Li Zhenzhen heard it in real time through the microphone on Lu Yanhe's body through the headphones.
When Li Zhen heard the number of 10 million, she was not prepared at all and showed an expression of disbelief.
Celebrity artists earn a lot of money, and this is undoubtedly true for a celebrity artist of Lu Yanhe's level who is also a screenwriter and holds the copyrights to many hit dramas.
However, in this world, just because you are very rich does not mean you are willing to share your money with others.
Li Zhenzhen had heard that there were people in this world who were willing to donate a lot of money to charity, but it was the first time that Li Zhenzhen had seen someone like Lu Yanhe quietly donate 10 million yuan to do this without any publicity.
-
Li Zhenzhen could almost imagine what kind of reaction this part would cause when it was broadcast on the show.
"It seems like I did it, because I'm not in charge of the specific matters. I'm only responsible for paying the money. So I don't know how they did it specifically or who they funded." Lu Yanhe whispered to others.
"You are really admirable." Liu Zhiyin said to Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe quickly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, don't praise me like that."
Liu Zhiyin asked in a low voice: "Do you have a foundation specifically doing this?"
"No, it's my agent. She has been doing this privately. After I found out, I asked her to help me do some of it." Lu Yanhe said, "Because I am usually very busy and don't have time to identify who I can trust. I am also afraid that my money will be wasted by others. I am even more afraid that someone will use my name as one of the donors to defraud money from others. You know, this area is very chaotic and there are many scammers."
"Yes." Liu Zhiyin nodded, "I was originally thinking that if you have a foundation, I would also like to ask you to help me do this."
Lu Yanhe: "I'm sorry, I don't have one either."
"Well, forget it then."
When it comes to money, everything is too sensitive.
Lu Yanhe didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

The first episode of the fifth season was actually online at noon.
When they got off the plane, the hot searches for all eight of them were already in place.
In order to keep things fresh, they didn't watch the clips that had already been exposed online.
In the evening, they ordered takeout, sat together, and started watching the first episode of the film while eating.
Li Zhenzhen and the others made a particularly grand opening——
The reason why it is grand is that the beginning of this season is the universe, accompanied by a majestic symphony.
“When I was a kid, I often wondered if there were aliens in this universe.”
"Some people say that oxygen is the foundation of life and there is no oxygen in the universe."
"I am confused. Since we are all aliens, why do our lives still rely on oxygen?"
"After I grew up, all these doubts disappeared from my mind."
“No matter how big the universe is, it is still just the universe.”
"Compared to whether aliens exist or not, what really directly affects my life is the mess in front of me."
As the dubbing gradually comes in, the camera moves from the universe through the atmosphere to China, then to a vast city, then to a bustling neighborhood, and then through the criss-crossing streets and routes, the camera moves to a house and a window.
As the voice-over said "It's a mess in front of me", a door opened in the camera and Peng Zhixing walked out of the room with a messy head of hair, no makeup on his face, and a pimple on his forehead clearly visible. He yawned loudly without caring about his image.
The picture froze on his gaping bloody mouth, and then a forty-eight-hour rewind appeared on the screen.
A voice nearby said, "In fact, forty-eight hours ago, he didn't look like this."
As the words fell, the scene switched to the backstage of a grand event.
Peng Zhixing, handsome and well-dressed, is waiting in the wings, ready to go on stage.
-
"So handsome, Brother Zhixing." Xiao Yun said with emotion, "Tsk, clothes make the man."
Peng Zhixing smiled.
"The production team is really getting better at editing. This opening is amazing," Yan Liang said. "It's so fancy."
"It is said that there will be a gimmick at the beginning of each episode of this season." Qin Zhibai said, "I don't know what the next episode will be like."
"I don't know what the next episode will be like, but if Xiao Yun said that she wanted to see the part where Li Zhibai was stripped naked that was not included in the beginning of any episode, I think it must have been blocked by Li Zhibai's public relations." Liu Zhiyin said with a smile.
"Oh my god." Li Zhibai was immediately furious.
“Then if the part where a chicken flew over and pooped on your head wasn’t included in the beginning, I think that must have been covered up by your public relations.” Li Zhibai immediately counterattacked.
Liu Zhiyin: “…”
Lu Yanhe: "Don't hurt each other."
"She started it!" Li Zhibai said, "You guys are targeting me more and more now."
"You are a fun person, you can't blame us." Xiao Yun said bluntly.
"Fuck you." Li Zhibai suddenly remembered something. "Oh, by the way, the scene where Xiao Yun stepped on dog shit while walking must also be released. It cannot be censored by PR. If it is not released in the main film, I will post the video I took with my phone on Weibo."
Xiao Yun's face froze.
Li Zhibai laughed triumphantly.
The next second, Li Zhibai was pinned down on the sofa and beaten up by two girls.
"Fuck!" Li Zhibai struggled hard like a shrimp in a frying pan.
However, Peng Zhixing and Yan Liang quickly helped to suppress him.
Lu Yanhe laughed so hard that he couldn't help coughing twice.

"Young Days" Season 5, Episode 1, there are no guest stars, no one is absent, all cast members are present.
The sense of familiarity, closeness, and especially sense of life they presented in the show received unanimous praise from the audience.
Many people say that these people in the fifth season have a sense of relaxation outside the camera.
Everyone sighed and said that it had to be a game with people they knew.
There are no guest stars, and no need to consider other people's emotions. They are all old acquaintances, and they talk one after another, which makes it difficult to edit in post-production.
Especially at the end of the first episode, the turtle soup game returns again.
Lu Yanhe's line "I found out that the person who killed my mother was actually my father, and my father knew that I was also in this house" was cut into the last scene of the first episode, and the barrage of comments exploded.
——Fuck! What kind of slow-paced show is this? It scared me so much that my hair stood on end!
——Lu Yanhe suddenly told a horror story, oh my god!
——I’m convinced by this turn of events. I’m going to report this program. It’s false propaganda and not heartwarming or funny at all. How am I going to sleep tonight?
——Looking for a sleeping partner tonight.
——What kind of train of thought is Lu Yanhe using? This was already a horrific story, but his words escalated it to a higher level.
……
This development of Lu Yanhe also became the most explosive point in the first episode.
Of course, no one on the Internet knew that his words had a deeper meaning.
Everyone just thought he was continuing the story based on the previous one.
The "miracle turn" that Lu Yanhe showed in the show also made people intuitively feel his ability in screenwriting for the first time.
After all, it only took him a few minutes to come up with this twist.
The program clearly pointed out the time Lu Yanhe spent thinking in subtitles.
——I feel like this story can be directly adapted into a movie script.
——I also think that after Lu Yanhe filmed The Mist in the United States, he also dabbled in horror stories? Is he planning to write a horror movie script himself?
——Can he act in more art films to win awards? Can he not always act in commercial films or genre films that consume him?
——The one in front, since you like to win awards so much, why don’t you go and take the photos yourself? What are you talking about here? Lu Yanhe can take whatever photos he wants. Your mother asked you to study hard and get admitted to Zhenhua University. Did you get admitted?
……
After watching the first episode, the second phase of filming has officially come to an end.
Because many people had other plans tomorrow, in the end no one stayed in this house. Some people had to catch flights late at night, and some had to go to hotels.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both caught a plane as they had other work arrangements for tomorrow.
Lu Yanhe did not stay in the hotel, but took the night train directly back to Yuming.
I arrived at Ziyuan Bridge at two in the morning and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Lu Yanhe didn't wake up until ten o'clock.
After waking up, I still felt exhausted and felt like I didn't get enough sleep.
But he already had experience and knew that he couldn't continue sleeping at this time, otherwise he would feel more tired.
So, Lu Yanhe still tried hard to get up from the bed.
In five days, we will set off for Venice.
In fact, the Venice International Film Festival had already opened the day before yesterday, but because his work was screened in the middle, they did not plan to attend the opening ceremony.
In fact, the first week of a film festival is often the time when there is least lack of star power.
At that time, many crews had just arrived and the stars were not in a hurry to leave.
On the contrary, when entering the second week, there is much less star power.
Especially those big European and American stars, as their works were finished, they basically all left - the Venice Film Festival is a typical film festival that will reserve good screening time for those star-studded crews. Works from small countries and small directors without big stars will be relegated to the back.
Therefore, they put the screening of Lu Yanhe's works in the second half, which Lu Yanhe could understand.
To add star power and popularity to that time.
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that more and more people came to ask for invitations to the screening of his works.
When he looked at his phone today, he found that he had received an email from TVN management Kim Yeon-sook, expressing his hope to get four invitations to the "Rouge" screening event. She wanted to bring several leading actors of the Korean version of "Rouge" to attend the event, which was also to warm up for the Korean version of "Rouge".
Lu Yanhe looked at the list again and was shocked. They were all famous stars. Jin Yanshu actually found two top Korean actors to act in this remake, actor Kong Shi and actress Zheng Yujiang.
After further research, Lu Yanhe knew why Jin Yanshu came to ask him for an invitation.
It turned out that Kong Shi happened to have a brand promotion event in Venice this year, and Zheng Yujiang was a judge in the main competition unit of this year's Venice International Film Festival. Both of them were in Venice, and they took the opportunity to warm up for the Korean drama version of "Rouge", which was a very accidental but very effective thing.
Of course Lu Yanhe is willing.
In fact, we are all just supporting him.
But because more and more stars came to attend, we originally planned to only hold a red carpet photo session at the beginning of the event. We could not broadcast six scenes and let the guests walk the red carpet once in each of the six scenes.
But now, because different stars attend different movie screenings, especially the movie "Rouge", Venice is somewhat tempted to hold a separate red carpet photo session for the movie "Rouge".
Lu Yanhe doesn't care about this aspect. It all depends on how Venice plans.
After Lu Yanhe got invitations to the screening of "Rouge" for Jin Yanshu and the other three, he also sent them invitations to the dinner on the evening of the 5th, inviting them to attend.
After finishing this matter, Lu Yanhe went online to read everyone's comments on the fifth season of "Young Days".
After a night of calming down, although everyone was still criticizing the sudden and scary ending, they were very satisfied with the rest of the content.
Just like how Lu Yanhe felt when recording this program, everyone can also feel a warm feeling like still waters running deep.
For a program about friendship, this evaluation can be regarded as a five-star praise.
Lu Yanhe looked through everyone's comments, smiled from time to time, took screenshots of some interesting comments, and sent them to their large group.
Today, many people in the group were posting screenshots, and like him, everyone was paying close attention to the online comments.
Until noon, the hands pointed accurately to twelve o'clock.
Lu Yanhe put away his pretending to be relaxed and casual and sent a message to Chen Ziyan: Is there no movement or news from his side?
Chen Ziyan: No, he doesn’t have work today. I’ve asked around.
Lu Yanhe: So he is pretending to be dead?
Chen Ziyan: Not necessarily. Maybe I was totally confused and didn’t know what to do. I was at a loss.
Lu Yanhe: Sister Zi Yan, tell me, if he was the one who tricked me into the river and pushed me into the river four years ago, should I take revenge?
Chen Ziyan: I suggest you stay calm and don’t make decisions on impulse. First of all, there is no evidence to prove whether he pushed you into the river.
Lu Yanhe: Yeah.
Chen Ziyan: It’s okay, Yan He, we have already thrown the bait, let’s take it step by step, if there is something that has not been thought through, let it continue to think about it, let’s first do the things that have been thought through bit by bit.
Lu Yanhe: OK.
At that time, Chen Ziyan asked Lu Yanhe, have you thought clearly about what you want?
Lu Yanhe said that he actually hadn’t thought it through clearly.
Chen Ziyan said, then you have to think it over carefully.
Lu Yanhe asked, can we think about part of it first?
Chen Ziyan nodded and said, of course.
Lu Yanhe said: "At least, I want him to know that I already know my true life experience. I want to make him uneasy, to make him realize that there is a bomb that may explode at any time. I want him to be in constant fear and to make him unable to sleep well at night."
Chen Ziyan: "Isn't this childish?"
“I don’t know if it’s childish, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about and wanting to do for a long time.”
There was a look of determination in Lu Yanhe's eyes.
"In my heart, this kind of anger has been brewing for a long time, and it has never disappeared. Many times I thought I didn't care, that he was just a symbol. But when I thought about how he had gotten away with me for so many years, thinking that no one knew the truth, my anger rushed to my head. I even had the urge to perish with him. I didn't even realize it myself."
Love?
no love.
Blood is thicker than water?
It can't be thickened.
He is not the original body, he is a time traveler.
He does not lack fatherly love and does not need to humbly beg for charity.
He inherited hatred, and because of the love he had, he could not forgive it.
Hate is hate.
True hatred is like a drop of water that wears away a stone even after ten years, it is like a raging wave waiting to break out beneath the calm, it is like an unforgettable memory that cannot be relieved even in a midnight dream.
Lu Yanhe did not lie. He himself did not realize that he had been hiding hatred in his heart for so long.
In fact, not a single day has disappeared.
