Become Famous Another Day

“As long as it’s not Ichiban’s main role in an S-level production, you choose.”

The man who sat in front of Chen Ziyan at nine o'clock in the morning had some gray on his temples, but he was still energetic and had a sense of majesty and calmness about him who had been at the top for a long time.

His tone of voice sounded like the strong wind, and no emotion or attitude could be heard.

 Chen Ziyan silently listened to the other person's words and at the same time looked at him. She concluded that the father and son were very different from each other.

If Xu Bandian is an impulsive, irritable, simple and superficial idiot, Xu Bin is a middle-aged man who is as hard as iron and has a temperament that has been experienced in the army.

Chen Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "Why is Xu Tai so polite?"

“People in the light don’t speak secretly, Miss Ziyan.” Xu Bin said, “That’s the end of the matter, how about it?”

Chen Ziyan: "Xutai, I think you also know that the key to whether the matter ends here is not me, but your son's attitude and behavior."

Xu Bin nodded, tapped his fingers on the armrests of the chair, and said, "Miss Ziyan, he will not disturb you again in the future. Don't worry about this. I have already taught him a lesson."

 Chen Ziyan nodded, "In that case, I'll wait for Xu Tai to send me the script."

 After sending Xu Bin away, Chen Ziyan put away the smile on her face.

 As a result, before I even sat down, someone knocked on the door.

The person who came turned out to be Hong Qi.

As the executive CEO, Hong Qi basically does not appear in the company. The person in charge is Vice President Ma. Chen Ziyan has not seen Hong Qi much in the past six months.

“How come Mr. Hong is free to come to my place today?” Chen Ziyan joked with a smile.

Hong Qi smiled and said, "Director Xu Bin came to see you just now?"

“Mr. Hong is very well-informed.”

“I met him at the elevator entrance.” Hong Qi asked, “Is it because of the recent incident with Xu Handian?”

 Chen Ziyan nodded.

"Your methods are still as sharp as ever." Hong Qi raised the corner of his mouth, "I came here today because I have something to ask you for help. I have a friend whose son wants to become a star. People have heard about it. Your name, I would like to ask you to help me. If you are willing, I would like to pay you an annual salary of 10 million, how about it? "

When Chen Ziyan heard this, she rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Not interested."

"I knew what you meant." Hong Qi said, and sat directly on the chair, put his hands on the back of the chair, looked at Chen Ziyan, and said: "After so many years, your temper has not changed at all, nor has it changed." Ask who he is? He can pay you an annual salary of tens of millions as soon as he opens his mouth, but he is not short of money at all, and he is just such a son. "

“It’s none of my business.” Chen Ziyan said, “Although I don’t have an annual salary of tens of millions, I don’t have much need for money. It’s rare to stand free in life.”

"Okay." Hong Qi shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "You would rather take care of Tu Song, a person with no talent, than make some money. I really don't understand, but there is nothing I can do. I can’t understand your behavior.”

 “Since you know everything, why are you asking?”

“There is always a shortcut during the cutscene.” Hong Qi smiled, “After all, the other party’s surname is also Chen.”

Chen Ziyan's eyes suddenly became sharper and she looked at Hong Qi.

"What did you say?"

"Chen Shen." Hong Qi waved his hand, "You should know him, Lan Yuan's boss."

 Hearing this name, Chen Ziyan’s sharp eyes disappeared again.

"Not interested." Chen Ziyan regained her composure, "Isn't his son studying in the United States? If he doesn't take over his family's business when he comes back, why is he in the entertainment industry?"

Hong Qi: "Young people are attracted by the colorful entertainment circle and want to have some fun. With a son like this, Chen Shen is happy to make his son happy."

“Since when have you become so familiar with Chen Shen?”

“I bought a piece of land with him a year ago, and I just changed hands and made a fortune not long ago.” Hong Qi said, “If you are not familiar with it, you can make some money together.”

 Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at Hong Qi speechlessly, "When will you be able to do your job properly and take more care of this company?"

“Isn’t Ma Zhongquan in charge of things very well? He doesn’t dare to go against you, does he?”

"This has nothing to do with whether he is going against me or not. He has almost turned Star Entertainment into a training center for idol artists. In the future, our company will transform and go into idol artists, right?" Chen Ziyan said , "Now most of the artists in the company are idol artists, actors and singers all stand back, and not long ago we signed several Internet celebrities."

"What does it matter? As long as you can make money." Hong Qi said, "This era is changing, and the entertainment industry is also changing. I know that there is a chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, and idol artists are at the lower end of the chain. Now there is another network. Being popular is not as popular as an idol artist. However, we are here to run a company and do business. We want high-end people who can make money while standing up, as well as lower-class people who bend down or even kneel to make money. Your thinking is too old-school and needs to be changed. change."

Chen Ziyan: "I don't care what kind of company you want to make Star Entertainment into. I don't care whether this company lives or dies. I just advise you. Some people think they have caught the next trend and can take off with it. , so raise a lot of pigs, but the pigs that have not caught up with the wind will not be able to fly. Don't end up with a situation where the tail is too big to fall off. "

Chen Ziyan has been with Xingyu for several years, but she did not join Xingyu from the beginning.

 She has a transcendent status in Xingyu because she is considered one of the company’s veterans, and also because of her legendary personal relationship with the company’s boss.

She said she didn’t care whether this company was dead or alive. Of course she rushed here in a hurry. It’s impossible not to care at all.

But really speaking, Chen Ziyan’s career, wealth and life were not tied to this company. The company really collapsed, and she was just a little sad because a company related to her life ended.

Hong Qi didn’t care whether she heard these words or not, she just said them once.

-

During the day in Jiangzhi, Lu Yanhe followed Xin Zixing and the others to eat, drink and walk around the city all day long, checking in at many places.

But the news that he was recording a show in Jiangzhi did spread. Many people came after hearing the news. Almost everywhere Lu Yanhe went, many people followed him.

Xin Zixing and the others are originally a small team. Unlike the crew of a large variety show, they have strict security throughout the filming.

 At the end, more and more people gathered to watch the shooting.

 There is no other way. We can only temporarily adjust the shooting plan at several shooting locations.

“All exterior scenes were shot with empty shots, and Yan He’s part with you was shot indoors.” Xin Zixing made a decision quickly.

 Because of the lack of experience, everyone spent a lot of time on transitions and other things.

 Lu Yanhe himself felt that the schedule was a little rushed.

In his understanding, this program should be about relaxing and slowly visiting a city, rather than checking in and introducing various things to everyone.

 This is not a Travel Channel show.

 In the afternoon, Lu Yanhe found Xin Zixing and raised his doubts.

Xin Zixing also knew that what Lu Yanhe said was right.

She was in a hurry along the way and was always disturbed by onlookers. During the entire filming, she and Lu Yanhe were very disturbed, including during lunch. They also felt deeply tired and couldn't even speak. I don't want to talk, but I still have to work up the energy to talk and chat. I can't let the meal be too silent and quiet, making it look boring.

Lu Yanhe said: "Let's take a rest first and forget about recording. I also feel that my condition is very bad. This is not acting. There is no script for me to mobilize my emotions. I need to work hard to improve my spirit and state." I think it’s not good to appear on camera in this state, and people won’t want to see it.”

 The reason why the first issue of Langhua has a good reputation is because they photographed all the most interesting places in the city of Langhua?

  No, but everyone really likes the style of leisurely wandering and exploring in the city presented in the show.

 So, they didn’t even make much preparation at all. Basically, they didn’t know what they would shoot, what they would encounter, and what would happen. The films made under such circumstances are loved by everyone because they are vivid, natural and real.

When filming, Lu Yanhe didn't have any psychological pressure or burden. He just treated it as a very ordinary trip. He walked around everywhere without any tasks. He didn't think about visiting all the interesting places. He was tired. Just rest, sit quietly for a while if you don't want to talk, and chat and laugh with Xin Zixing and the others when the mood comes.

The relaxation I felt at that time was completely different from today’s shooting experience—even from yesterday’s shooting experience.

Lu Yanhe feels that the main reason is that today we are shooting with a mission.

Lu Yanhe found a small shop nearby to sit down, bought a popsicle, and ate it silently.

Many people gathered around to say hello to him.

Lu Yanhe responded to them with a smile.

There is still a camera filming him, but it is farther away.

Xu Chao stood next to Chen Liang and followed Chen Liang to look at Lu Yanhe.

 He asked in a low voice: "Brother Liang, do you want to go and ask those fans away?"

 Chen Liang: “No problem, we’ll be in charge of photography.”

Xu Chao said oh.

Xin Zixing was thinking about how to proceed with the filming alone. When he looked up, he saw that Lu Yanhe was already chatting with the fans around him.

 The sun shines down wantonly.

 Lu Yanhe was surrounded by some people, but it didn't seem crowded or noisy, but rather harmonious.

 Some people took pictures of him with their mobile phones, and some just looked at him.

Lu Yanhe did not resist and chatted with everyone with a smile. “How old are you?” Lu Yanhe asked a girl with a ponytail.

 “Seventeen,” said the girl.

 “Senior year of high school?”

“Well, I’ll be in my senior year of high school as soon as school starts.” The girl laughed, her eyes curled up like crescent moons. She looks very ordinary, but the bright smile on her face is as clear as a stream.

 Lu Yanhe asked: "Then you still don't study hard? Why do you keep following me?"

The girl said: "I like you very much. It's rare for you to come to Jiangzhi. I want to meet you today. I usually work hard."

 “You’d better not lie to me.” Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

 “I’m not lying to you, I’m telling the truth.” The girl said seriously.

 …

 Lu Yanhe rested for more than 20 minutes.

 Xin Zixing came to him at this time.

 Two people got into the car and talked in the car.

Chen Liang asked if he wanted to get in the car with a camera.

He heard the whole conversation between Lu Yanhe and Xin Zixing just now, and knew that what the two of them were talking about now was about how to shoot later.

Xin Zixing thought for a while and said, "No need."

There were only two of them in the car.

Xin Zixing said: "Yan He, I just thought about it carefully and I think you are right. I plan to take my time for the rest of the trip. You can see where you want to go. We will follow you according to your wishes." Shoot, do whatever makes you feel comfortable."

Lu Yanhe: "That doesn't have to be like this. I don't have any objection to your arrangements. I just don't think you should follow the same schedule as before. You can take any class at any time. The half hour break just now made me feel very happy. It’s comfortable, especially when chatting with everyone. I think everyone will like it if this kind of content is included in the show, because it’s not arranged in advance, it just happens naturally.”

Just now, when Xin Zixing saw Lu Yanhe chatting and laughing with the fans around him, she actually felt that that scene was what "City Travel" wanted to appear.

 "City Travels" is not only about cities, but also about the relationship between people and cities, and between cities and people. The city will ultimately fall on people.

It was at that moment that Xin Zixing suddenly became enlightened and realized why neither she nor Lu Yanhe had been successful in the previous filming, because the previous filming had only locations and tasks, no interaction between people, and no feelings behind humanity.

-

 The activity of stepping on lanterns is held at night.

 After Lu Yanhe talked with Xin Zixing, the filming of the program changed.

 Their subsequent itineraries were cancelled, and they decided to wait slowly for the evening.

 It’s also good to be a little more laid back.

Lu Yanhe invited everyone to go to a nearby teahouse to drink tea. One camera was fixed, the other was carried by the photographer, and everyone sat together.

 Surrounded by locals.

 Lu Yanhe and Xin Zixing were sitting together.

 Xin Zixing is the only one who often appears on camera with Lu Yanhe.

Many people came into the teahouse to watch the people taking pictures. The owner of the teahouse was shocked, with joy on his face, excited and happy for the sudden good business.

Lu Yanhe looked at the young men and women around him, and suddenly remembered the "lantern stepping" tonight, and asked curiously: "Will you participate in the "lantern stepping" activity tonight?"

The young man next to him looked at each other in confusion when asked by Lu Yanhe. The extrovert already answered, "The person I like doesn't like me, so what's the point of participating?"

"Exactly." Another person also sighed, "Last year I gave a lantern to the boy I liked, but he refused to accept it, which made me very embarrassed."

“Now only people who like each other but are embarrassed to express their love will go out with lanterns on this day.”



Lu Yanhe was surprised and said, "Didn't it say that most young people from Jiangzhi will participate?"

"Those are those who haven't been in love yet, sister, I'm already twenty-seven, how can I expect this." said a woman with sunglasses pushed up on her head and exquisite makeup.

“Then why did you come back from leave today?” a girl next to her who seemed to be her friend asked immediately.

“I, I haven’t come back to see my parents for a while, so I came back to see them.”

“You’re right, you must have heard that Liu Ziyang came back from abroad, so you came back specifically, right?”

The girl with sunglasses lost control of her expression instantly. She looked at her friend in disbelief and reached out to cover her mouth.

This scene made everyone around laugh.

Lu Yanhe also laughed.

Alright, this is simply duplicity.

At this moment, Xin Zixing said in surprise: "He Yunlan and Liu Yiyi agreed to come together tonight."

Hearing this, Lu Yanhe also laughed in surprise.

 “Are they willing?”

"Yeah." Xin Zixing nodded, "We have also prepared a few lanterns, and we will carry them together when the time comes to suit the occasion."

Lu Yanhe imagined the scene that would happen in the evening and said, "I am looking forward to Jiang Zhi tonight."

-

 In the evening, it was another dusk with twilight all around and the sunset glowing like satin.

He Yunlan and Liu Yiyi met everyone at a restaurant.

He Yunlan was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He looked like he had just finished work and came in a hurry.

But Xiao Mei immediately sighed: "Here I go, men in white shirts are indeed much more handsome than usual."

Lu Yanhe turned his head and glanced at Xiao Mei, a little surprised that she dared to say anything and didn't have the reserve of an ordinary girl.

 Everyone sat together to eat again.

“Where did you go shopping in Jiangzhi today?” He Yunlan asked with a smile.

Xin Zixing said: "We went to Baigan Pagoda and Muzi Bridge, ate at Dongzi Street at noon, and spent the afternoon shopping on Chunxi Road."

Lu Yanhe said: "It is very livable here, the food is delicious, and the city feels very leisurely. Everyone is not in a hurry."

He Yunlan nodded and said: "Indeed, we do have a lot of delicious food here. Originally, we were thinking of inviting you to come to our house and we would cook you a table of authentic Jiangzhi home-cooked dishes, but your schedule is quite complicated. Busy, please come again next time.”

When Lu Yanhe heard this, his eyes instantly lit up.

 “Huh? I want to eat!”

Liu Yiyi asked: "When are you leaving tomorrow? I heard Yun Lan say you are leaving tomorrow?"

“Yes, I have another job the day after tomorrow, so I have to rush back as soon as possible.” Lu Yanhe said helplessly.

 “I can only find an opportunity next time.” He Yunlan said.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

-

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Yanhe took the lanterns prepared by Xin Zixing and others and went out together.

 As soon as he went out, Lu Yanhe discovered that the entire city had undergone tremendous changes from the daytime.

 At night, walking on the road, you can see people holding lanterns everywhere, mostly young people.

Not only that, many people put on ancient costumes, including ethnic minority costumes and Hanfu. In an instant, they looked graceful and graceful.

 Everyone saw the camera and happily waved and said hello to the camera.

 Compared with traveling alone, more people travel in pairs. A few people are in a group, talking and laughing, and they look like classmates or friends.

Lu Yanhe walked among them, silently for a long time.

 He was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Especially the expressions of nervousness and anticipation on everyone’s faces, so green and clear.

Lu Yanhe thought to himself, does his face also have the same greenness? (End of chapter)
