Chapter 218 Reversal

When Lu Yanhe was rehearsing at night, he found that everyone looked at him strangely.

Being involved in gossip is not good. Once you become the protagonist of gossip news, you will be stared at wherever you go, like a gorilla in a zoo.

He went on stage for rehearsal. Because there was only one song to perform, there were no dance moves, just a few simple movements.

After completing it once, the director said it was OK.

When Lu Yanhe heard it, he was a little surprised and asked, "Don't you need to sing it again?"

Just now, his rehearsal only made him walk through the movements once, and he didn't even rehearse the performance.

The director said that there were many people waiting for rehearsal, and his song had been heard in the studio.

Lu Yanhe felt strange and did not leave the stage, but looked at Chen Ziyan on the side of the stage.

Chen Ziyan folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at the director with a serious expression.

Lu Yanhe said: "Director, I still want to sing it live. It only takes three or four minutes to sing it once."

When the director heard Lu Yanhe say this, his brows frowned instantly.

"I've told you not to sing. I know you're a professional singer and can sing. You don't need to--"

"I need it." Lu Yanhe interrupted the director righteously and said, "Any professional singer needs rehearsal, let alone an unprofessional like me. Director, please let me sing for a while. Tomorrow is a live broadcast, and I'm also worried about problems on the scene."

The other staff members on the scene looked at them in surprise.

Generally speaking, it's the director team who asks the celebrities to rehearse to ensure that everything goes well on the show.

What happened today?

Why is it the other way around?

Especially the director...why doesn't he want Lu Yanhe to rehearse?

The director looked at Lu Yanhe impatiently and said, "Okay, if you want to sing, sing."

This impatient tone surprised others, and also surprised Lu Yanhe, who was at a loss. Was his request too much? Why was he so strange to him?

But after all the persuasion, the rehearsal finally started. Lu Yanhe sang normally, and the overall effect was pretty good. He left and handed the microphone to the staff.

Chen Ziyan came over and said to Lu Yanhe, "Wait for me outside."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, but seeing Chen Ziyan's dark face, Lu Yanhe didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and left, going outside the studio.

-

Lu Yanhe sat in the corridor outside the studio waiting for Chen Ziyan.

There were people coming and going in the corridor, both the artist team and the staff on the scene.

Lu Yanhe sat alone on a chair, and when others saw him, they all showed doubts, as if they didn't understand why he was sitting here.

After a while, Chen Ziyan came out of the studio and said to Lu Yanhe, "Let's go."

"Sister Ziyan, did you say anything to the director just now?"

"His attitude towards you is very abnormal, I asked him a few questions." Chen Ziyan said, "However, he seems to have some opinions about you just personally, not because of the instruction of a senior executive. Director Li suddenly paid attention to you before, which made me have to be vigilant."

Lu Yanhe realized that Chen Ziyan was worried about this.

He nodded and said, "What does the director think of me?"

"It seems that he didn't understand the whole situation and thought that your fans attacked their program team because of the difference in the treatment of lunch boxes, which made him very unhappy." Chen Ziyan waved her hand, "It's okay, if he is unhappy about this, then he is unhappy. It's not important and it won't affect us. You should perform seriously tomorrow and don't let it down."

"No."

"I have been thinking about finding a suitable film and television drama to put your song "Childhood" in, which will be more beneficial to the spread of your song." Chen Ziyan said, "Originally, I wanted to find a good stage for you to sing for the first time, but now there is no chance. Don't worry, because I don't plan to let you go the singer route. There is no need to rush to prove yourself on the singer's stage. This is what I am telling the truth. Your singing voice is just a little better than ordinary people. As for professional singers, you are not good enough."

"I know that too." Lu Yanhe nodded, touched his nose, and smiled embarrassedly, "Indeed, I can sing well, but it is not certain how well I can sing. Talent determines it."

Singers are like this. Natural vocal conditions are too important.

Without a good voice, it is difficult to go far with just popularity, unless you really want to follow the idol path to the end, but the idol path can only last until the age of 30. After the age of 30, it will always go downhill. Chen Ziyan hopes that Lu Yanhe will choose a more sustainable path, but from what she has observed, Lu Yanhe himself is not very interested in singing, and his talent is just so-so, so acting is more suitable.

Chen Ziyan: "You always have a clear understanding of yourself."

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't think you are praising me at all, Sister Ziyan."

-

When Lu Yanhe returned to Hong Mansion, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

Li Zhibai had already returned.

When he saw Lu Yanhe, he immediately blew his beard and glared, and asked: "Did Chen Ziliang attack you?"

On the way back from the plane just now, he saw the animated picture of Chen Ziliang rushing into Lu Yanhe's rest room. There were various analysis posts on the Internet, some saying that Chen Ziliang and Lu Yanhe had been at odds for a long time, and some saying that Lu Yanhe's fans angered Chen Ziliang a little, which made Li Zhibai furious.

Lu Yanhe shook his head: "I didn't do anything. What do you mean by doing anything?"

"What did that idiot do tonight? Look at him rushing into your place with a rage on his face."

"He thinks I deliberately broadcast live tonight to let everyone see the difference between my lunch box and his." Lu Yanhe explained, "I have some grievances with him, and some of my fans saw this and were angry and stood up for me."

"This idiot." Li Zhibai scolded without any hesitation.

"Don't scold him, he must be regretting it. He was scolded on the hot search again under impulse. Now more people are talking about him than me." Lu Yanhe didn't take it too seriously, "Aren't you coming back tomorrow? Why did you rush back tonight?"

Li Zhibai: "The drama I filmed before will be broadcast tomorrow, and I was notified that there will be a media meeting tomorrow afternoon, and I have to attend it."

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Congratulations, your first drama is finally going to be broadcast."

"Accompany You to the End of the World", which Li Zhibai filmed at the beginning of this year, is now broadcast online in August, which is considered to be broadcast very quickly.

Li Zhibai shook his head and sighed: "I am very worried that this drama will be criticized after it is broadcast."

"Why?"

"Because... to be honest, it is very hypocritical." Li Zhibai shook his head, "I didn't want to take this drama at all, but Zhou Pingan insisted that I play it. If I am ridiculed by the crowd, I must take screenshots of those comments that humiliate me and send them to Zhou Pingan, asking him to read them out word by word."

"Isn't it also humiliating you to read them out?" Lu Yanhe said speechlessly.

Li Zhibai: "Humiliating me is humiliating him."

Lu Yanhe could see that although Li Zhibai said that he disliked this drama in various ways, he was actually looking forward to the broadcast of this drama.

This is his first time acting, and he certainly hopes to know what kind of feedback everyone will have on his performance.

Seeing Li Zhibai like this, Lu Yanhe couldn't help but think of how he would feel after "The Golden Age" was broadcast.

There is no need to wait until that time. Just thinking about it now makes me feel excited and excited.

People in this industry all have a little vanity that desires to be seen and recognized by others. Lu Yanhe was no exception.

He said, "Then I will rush back after my performance tomorrow night. When will your drama be online?"

"Eight o'clock in the evening." Li Zhibai said, "I'm not here yet. I have to attend the premiere event of Bingyuan Video. I will watch the premiere with Meng Li and others at that time."

Lu Yanhe: "Okay then."

"I will post the promotion of my drama tomorrow. Remember to forward it for me." Li Zhibai said.

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded with a bright smile.

-

The next day, Lu Yanhe slept until he woke up naturally. As soon as he opened his eyes, he received a call from Chen Ziyan - the time when the phone rang was so seamless that Lu Yanhe even thought Chen Ziyan had installed a surveillance camera in his room.

"Are you awake?"

It was actually only eight o'clock in the morning now.

"Wake up." Lu Yanhe sat up, "What's wrong, Sister Ziyan?"

"Last night, Chen Ziliang got drunk and went crazy. He posted a dynamic. After fermenting overnight, it has now exploded on the entire Internet." Chen Ziyan briefly explained the background, and then said, "This matter has affected you."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

He exited the call interface and opened his social platform. He did not deliberately search. A casual swipe on the homepage was about the discussion about Chen Ziliang's madness last night.

Then, Lu Yanhe found the content of Chen Ziliang's madness:

You never know how much pressure I am under! I want to get your approval, but you will always be attracted by new people. You once said that you would love me and support me forever, but you left me unknowingly! Lu Yanhe is young, handsome, and talented. Yes, I admit it, but am I worse than him? Why do you come to condemn me for such a small matter as a box lunch? I have worked hard for so many years, am I not worthy of a box lunch that is more abundant than his?

Then, he attached a selfie.

In the selfie, he was sitting in a dimly lit street corner, probably squatting, with no makeup on his face, showing his most bare and unbearable side, his eyes full of intoxication that needed no explanation, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Lu Yanhe didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.

It was like watching an arrogant swordsman suddenly turn into a funny clown, in addition to being speechless, there was also a sense of loneliness.

The change before and after was too sudden.

Lu Yanhe would rather watch a person arrogantly perish than watch a person dejectedly despise himself.

Chen Ziyan said: "There is a joke on the Internet now. Many people are @you, asking you if Chen Ziliang doesn't deserve a better lunch than you?"

Lu Yanhe sighed speechlessly, looked at his backstage, and said: "I saw it."

"You'd better not respond to this matter." Chen Ziyan said, "I guess Chen Ziliang's team is going crazy now. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to have such an artist."

Lu Yanhe said: "But, Sister Ziyan, this incident should not have caused any adverse effects on Chen Ziliang, right?"

"More than that, his reputation changed drastically overnight. If I hadn't known that Chen Ziliang was really drunk, and his agent sharpened his knife to break down the door this morning, I would have thought they hired a publicist. It's an idea from a master." Chen Ziyan said speechlessly, "Now people on the Internet think that Chen Ziliang is very genuine and aggrieved. Suddenly he has become a little star who looks arrogant but is actually pitiful. I don't know what to say. What’s wrong, this entertainment industry, this public opinion field, ha!”

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chen Ziyan's disdainful voice.

-

Just as Chen Ziyan said, Chen Ziliang's reputation changed overnight.

Even Chen Ziliang’s team didn’t expect it.

Chen Ziliang's agent Yan Wei was surprised and immediately realized that this was an opportunity worth seizing.

Chen Ziliang hasn't had such a big memory for a long time.

As a first-line singer, it is the same as an actor. If you are not seen by the audience for too long and you only immerse yourself in the original fan circle, you will easily be eliminated by everyone.

Chen Ziliang suddenly got drunk and went crazy at night, but unexpectedly hit everyone's point, and suddenly the whole network paid attention to it, and it went viral.

Moreover, everyone's evaluation of Chen Ziliang has changed drastically. Previously, Chen Ziliang was criticized for his fierce look when he rushed into Lu Yanhe's live broadcast room. Now everything has become Chen Ziliang's grievance and his jealousy of Lu Yanhe.

Yan Wei immediately contacted the public relations team, seized this opportunity, and began to promote Chen Ziliang's image as a "wronged, true-hearted male singer".

And Lu Yanhe, who was accidentally involved in this turmoil, inexplicably became a joke.

When Lu Yanhe checked his Weibo again at noon, he found that the comment section of his Weibo was almost full. There were more than 100,000 comments, all of which were trolls.

——Don’t Chen Ziliang deserve a better box lunch than you? Forgive him.

Lu Yanhe looked at the people who came to his Weibo. He knew that many people were just following the trend, but he still found it absurd.

Chen Ziyan repeatedly emphasized not to make any response.

Lu Yanhe turned off his phone and decided not to look at it anymore.

Before going to the official performance, Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe on the road: "When you get in front of people later, you must not express any dissatisfaction. Nowadays, netizens like to make jokes. If you keep a straight face, others will think you are not generous." ”

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I can hold it back."

Chen Ziyan: "The entertainment industry is like this. It changes rapidly. I never thought that Chen Ziliang would turn around so inexplicably."

"What should I say when I see him later?" Lu Yanhe asked, "Shall I greet him warmly?"

"Just say hello to him on the surface. There is no need to make excuses with him." Chen Ziyan said, "What I mean is, there must be a lot of cameras backstage today. Don't let them take pictures of your black face. When the time comes, it will be posted online. It has been interpreted in various ways by many people.”

"I know this, it won't happen." Lu Yanhe said, "I will laugh when I get off the car."

When Chen Ziyan heard what Lu Yanhe said, she couldn't help but say: "Then I didn't ask you to laugh when you get off the car. Don't laugh like a fool from a landlord's family."

Lu Yanhe: "I said I wanted to laugh, but you disliked it."

"Don't be so stubborn, you know what I'm talking about."

-

When we got backstage, tonight was even busier and more chaotic than during the rehearsal last night.

When Lu Yanhe came to his lounge, the corridor was crowded with people, all of them actors and actresses in costumes.

Lu Yanhe was led over by Chen Ziyan. As soon as he entered, there was already a makeup artist waiting inside.

The clothes have also been delivered, and there is a styling team waiting to do his makeup for the upcoming performance.

Lu Yanhe changed clothes first, wearing a gray-blue suit.

Chen Ziyan gave him only one styling and style requirement: simple and elegant, clean and refreshing.

Chen Ziyan wants to create such an impression on the public.

There won't be any exaggerated looks. When you appear in front of everyone, you don't need to be stunning, just be ordinary and handsome.

At this time, Yan Wei suddenly came over.

He came specifically to see Chen Ziyan.

"Sister Ziyan, thank you very much for today." Yan Wei's face showed a smile that could not be concealed.

The reason why he came to express his gratitude was because Lu Yanhe's side did not respond to Chen Ziliang's drunken gaffe last night, which allowed Chen Ziliang to have a successful comeback today.

Chen Ziyan lowered her eyes and said, "There's no need to be so polite. I'll be thankful that you, Master Chen Ziliang, come to trouble Yan He in the future."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of him!" Yan Wei said, with a smile on his face, and said to Chen Ziyan, "Thank you for having a lot of it."

After saying that, Chen Ziyan thought Yan Wei was leaving, but Yan Wei suddenly said: "Sister Ziyan, do you think we can arrange for Chen Ziliang and Yan He to take a photo together later today and post it on social platforms together?" This can also make it clear to everyone that what happened in the live broadcast room yesterday was a misunderstanding."

Chen Ziyan rolled her eyelids up and asked, "Is it a misunderstanding?"

Chen Ziyan's attitude seemed to be beyond Yan Wei's expectations, and he glanced at Chen Ziyan in surprise.

Chen Ziyan said: "Don't push yourself too far."

Yan Wei was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Chen Ziyan to have this attitude.

He was stunned for two seconds before he put away the smile on his face angrily.

"Okay, let's talk about it next time."

Chen Ziyan saw that Yan Wei was still a little dissatisfied.

Yan Wei's attitude today was completely different from the bored, helpless and frustrated look of last night.

It seems that Chen Ziliang's sudden popularity on the Internet and his return to the focus of public opinion have changed Yan Wei's mentality.

Chen Ziyan narrowed her eyes and watched Yan Wei turn away unwillingly without any expression, and made another note of this person in the little notebook in her heart.
