Choose a day to become famous

Chapter 263 New Cooperation (Another 10,000-word update!)

Someone in the audience immediately raised their hands.

The questioner is a girl.

"Hello, Lu Yanhe, I would like to ask, someone said before that the emergence of books like "Jump Up" has squeezed out the space of more serious and literary magazines and theme books. What do you think of this statement?"

Wang Xiao immediately said: "Wow, this is really a sharp question."

Lu Yanhe smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay. In fact, it's not about crowding out or not. Anyone who really understands the publishing industry knows that whether it is a magazine or a theme book, the problem we are facing now is that there are not enough readers. , there is no soil for survival, and under this background, "Jump Up" was able to sell more than 100,000 copies of both physical books and e-books, and it did so when the e-books were already free for three days. This is not You can grab whoever’s space you want.”

“Actually, writing such a book has given me far more encouragement than satire and ridicule. Many seniors have encouraged me to do a good job and keep writing this book, so that this type of book can become popular in the market again. Let readers pay attention to this type of book again, " Lu Yanhe said, " Put aside everything, as a nineteen-year-old college student, it is not just me, no matter what any student wants to do, be a Things, I believe everyone must be mainly encouraging, just like what I got, whether it is ridicule or ridicule, I don’t care too much, because that is not the point, those things cannot make me more confident to stick to what I want. Things to do."

…

Chen Shiqiu said softly to Chen Ziyan: "Look, Yan He's mental state is better than mine."

Chen Ziyan said with a smile: "He only learned it after going through hundreds of battles. He was not able to answer all these sharp questions at the beginning."

"His response should be enough to reassure you, right?"

"Where are you? This kind of question seems sharp, but it's actually not that difficult to answer. What I'm most afraid of is encountering difficult and shameless people."

"We in Zhenhua don't have such students."

"That's just the filter you, as teachers, use on your students." Chen Ziyan said directly, "There is no place without garbage people. It's just a difference between more and less. A beast in clothes will not stop being a beast just because it is covered with a layer of clothes. He just has an extra layer of disguise.”

Chen Shiqiu was speechless for a moment.

Chen Ziyan glanced at him and suddenly realized that what she just said was a bit too sharp and mean, "I'm sorry."

Chen Shiqiu shook his head, "You are right."

"No, any teacher in Zhenhua has enough confidence to be proud of his students. It's my problem." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "You have to forgive me, I can't look at the world optimistically."

"You are optimistic enough." Chen Shiqiu said, "If I were you, I couldn't do better than you."

Chen Ziyan and Chen Shiqiu's eyes intertwined, silent and dignified.

-

This sharing activity ended successfully.

Lu Yanhe also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Xiao smiled at Lu Yanhe and said, "Everyone's response was very good today, and there was nothing you were worried about."

"My worries are unfounded."

Wang Xiao patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder and said: "Don't forget to contact us when the crew does publicity or other promotional activities in the future. Today is a purely sharing activity, so there will be no live broadcast. We also have a dedicated team It can be done live.”

Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "So I will have a free publicity channel in the future?"

"Why not?" Wang Xiao said with a "Of course" expression on his face, "Our positioning is to invite people who have achieved achievements and influence in their respective fields to communicate face-to-face with the students of our school. Many times, the celebrities who come also bring The propaganda mission comes, and we each take what we need. It’s not that pure, but it’s good, isn’t it?”

"Well, you're right."

Wang Xiao: "Besides, if you can come to Zhenhua to hold exchange activities, many people should be willing to come. After all, it's Zhenhua, so I won't embarrass you, right?"

"How can it not be possible?"

The two words "Zhenhua" are a golden signboard that can be used unimpeded in Chinese-speaking areas.

If possible, no one would refuse to come to Zhenhua for exchanges.

The same goes for the film and television industry.

Lu Yanhe realized that Wang Xiao was "reciprocating love" to him.

Lu Yanhe understood, thought for a while, and said, "If possible, before the broadcast of "Golden Age", invite all the main creators to have an exchange event, is it okay?"

Wang Xiao instantly showed a bright smile and said, "Well, this is already in my plan."

"Plan?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise, "What plan?"

"Including the authors of "Jump Up", Liu Jiazhen and Mingyin, aren't they also authors who have attracted much attention recently? I would also like to invite them to come." Wang Xiao said, "I said, any achievement or achievement in any field Influential people are all invited by us.”

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Okay, I understand."

He said: "Then I'll go back first."

Wang Xiao nodded and said goodbye to Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe got off the stage and came to Chen Ziyan and Chen Shiqiu.

Several leaders of the college encouraged him with smiles and left.

Chen Shiqiu sent them to the door.

Chen Ziyan took out a bottle of vitamin drink from her bag and said, "Would you like it?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and took it.

"I'm thirsty."

When they were communicating just now, they only prepared a bottle of water for him. He had already finished it and didn't ask for more.

Chen Ziyan smiled and said, "You have a little celebrity style now."

Lu Yanhe was flattered and asked, "Really?"

"Really." Chen Ziyan nodded.

Lu Yanhe was a little embarrassed.

Chen Ziyan said, "Are you free tomorrow at noon? Let's have a meal together. I found a bodyguard for you who will also serve as your assistant. I have been looking for a few months and finally found a relatively suitable one. You can meet him. If he is suitable, sign the contract with him."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he heard it.

"Hmm? OK, what kind of person is he?"

"He is a retired soldier who worked as a private bodyguard for others before. He is very experienced and is only 30 years old now. I have met him several times. He is a relatively taciturn person, but after asking around, he is a relatively reliable person. The only requirement is that he is a bit expensive. His annual salary is 250,000, after tax." Chen Ziyan said, "But he can also be your driver and assistant. When your work is not so busy, he can serve as your entire logistics team. I think this price is acceptable."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Ziyan said: "You have to pay for this money, so you decide whether to use him or not."

Lu Yanhe thought that if he didn't make money from "Jump Up", he would have no money to use even if he wanted to.

Chen Ziyan seemed to know what Lu Yanhe was thinking, and immediately said: "If "Jump Up" hadn't sold well, I would have signed a contract with him directly through the company and then appointed him as your bodyguard, but there is a disadvantage. You are not his boss, the company is. For you, I think this person must be completely worthy of your trust."

Lu Yanhe understood what Chen Ziyan meant.

Given the current situation he is facing, he must have someone he can trust by his side, otherwise, no one knows whether he will become the next Zhou Pingan.

"Then I'll go back." Chen Ziyan said, "Bye."

"Sister Ziyan, bye."

Lu Yanhe sent Chen Ziyan to the door, and Chen Ziyan asked him to stop.

"No need to send me off, my car is parked outside, I can just walk over." Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe, "Go back and rest quickly."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

He watched Chen Ziyan leave, and when he was about to turn around, suddenly, Liu Bige's voice came from behind him.

"Yanhe."

Lu Yanhe turned his head and showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Producer Liu."

He hadn't noticed that Liu Bige was there before.

"Please ask Miao Yue to make an appointment for me." Liu Bige put his hands in his trouser pockets, "The last time I saw you, I was wondering when I could see you again. There is a movie I want to talk to you about."

Lu Yanhe looked at the other party in surprise.

"Movie?"

"Yes, it's an independent movie." Liu Bige said, "I wonder if you are interested?"

Lu Yanhe asked, "Do you have a script?"

"Yes." Liu Bige nodded, "But I'm not the producer of this movie, it's someone else's, I just think you're suitable."

"I--" Lu Yanhe hesitated for two seconds and said, "Can I hear what the script is first? But, Producer Liu, I have to say that my current situation is rather special. I have to go to school most of the time and have almost no time to shoot."

Liu Bige said, "It should be OK to shoot on weekends?"

"Weekends... it's OK, but are two days enough?" Lu Yanhe looked surprised.

"Not the protagonist, just a supporting role, two scenes." Liu Bige said, "Maybe it can be finished in two weekends."

Lu Yanhe looked suddenly enlightened.

So that's how it is.

"You won't play the protagonist, will you?" Liu Bige asked.

"No, of course not." Lu Yanhe said awkwardly, "It's just that you told me it was an independent film, and you came to me specifically, so serious that I thought it was a protagonist."

"This role is very important, so I am really serious." Liu Bige said, "The director of this film is my friend, and he and I wrote the script together. The role you are looking for is, in short, a hypocritical madman."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"He likes the heroine, almost paranoid, but because he doesn't get a response, he wants to destroy her." Liu Bige said, "It's such a role."

Lu Yanhe was stunned, "Do you think this role is suitable for me? Do I make you think I'm a paranoid madman?"

"No, on the contrary, your image is very positive and sunny." Liu Bige said, "But there are a few moments when you don't speak or smile, which makes me feel that you can burst out with this kind of paranoid madness."

Lu Yanhe looked at a loss.

"Take a look at the script, how about it?" Liu Bige asked.

Lu Yanhe asked, "Now?"

"Yes." Liu Bige said, "The script is in the confidential stage. I can only ask you to finish reading it now and then take it back. I can't give it to you directly."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, but still nodded, "Then where should we watch it?"

Liu Bige said, "It's already half past nine. Are there any shops open nearby?"

Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "There is a 24-hour coffee shop in the school. How about we go there?"

Liu Bige nodded and said yes.

There are not many people in this cafe.

Many students who need to stay up all night to catch up on something will choose to come here, after all, coffee and food can be provided at any time.

Although the movie script is not long, it takes about an hour to read.

If you read slower, even two hours is possible.

Lu Yanhe asked if he wanted to order some snacks. You can make French fries, fried chicken and other snacks here, which are very popular among students.

Liu Bige nodded and said, "I'll order some."

Lu Yanhe picked up the script and turned to the first page.

-

The name of this movie is "Miss Ning". The movie opens with a fierce argument. The heroine Ning Yin is arguing with her parents about which university to go to.

Lu Yanhe only saw his appearance when he read the middle part. Of course, in fact, he had already appeared. In the conversations between Ning Yin and others, he was a boy who repeatedly pestered her.

When Ning Yin appeared on the stage, it was the most embarrassing time. He appeared and gave Ning Yin the most honorable help. At this moment, this character comes across as considerate, thoughtful, polite, and not as paranoid and entangled as Ning Yin said.

But soon, he happened to catch Ning Yin eating in the restaurant with a work leader who needed to win over. After he waited for the man to leave, he politely stepped forward to greet Ning Yin, sat down, and asked Ning Yin. Ning Yin's relationship with the man just now, but he didn't believe Ning Yin's explanation. The script made a point here: his eyes began to become hurt and fragile.

Ning Yin once again stated that she did not like him and could not accept him. He started to get a little jumpy at this point and asked her why. She became impatient, and her impatient attitude irritated him further. He gradually revealed his madness, stubbornness, anger, and disappointment. Finally, he suddenly picked up the knife on the table and tried to stab Ning Yin.

Seeing this scene, a certain scene in his memory suddenly revived in Lu Yanhe's mind.

He was confused, shocked and in disbelief.

This scene in the script was actually combined with a certain scene in his memory.

The trembling feeling of hysterical indifference also returned to his body.

I almost finished reading the rest of the script in a state of bewilderment.

This script actually tells the story of a young girl who is constantly fighting a chaotic life.

The man played by Liu Bige, played by Lu Yanhe, is an integral part of Ning Yin's chaotic life. Liu Bige is right, this is a person who seemed perfect in all aspects before he finally went crazy.

Lu Yanhe tried his best to distance himself from the memories and took a deep breath.

"How is it?" Liu Bige asked.

Lu Yanhe raised his head and said, "This role is very challenging."

Liu Bige asked: "Then do you want to act?"

"I need to think about it." Lu Yanhe was a little stunned, "This character, the last thing he did -"

Lu Yanhe's words stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Liu Bige asked.

Lu Yanhe shook his head.

This is his own heart block.

Liu Bige said: "Although this film is also independently produced and not produced by a big company, it will be produced by French director Olivia and will compete in film festivals."

Lu Yanhe nodded, a little absent-mindedly.

"Do you have any concerns? Is it because this character is a negative character? Although I have returned to China not long ago, I have encountered many actors who are unwilling to play this kind of role." Liu Bige looked at Lu Yanhe, "If that's the case, you You can say it directly.”

"Oh, I'm sorry, no, I didn't think about it." Lu Yanhe explained, "There are some things in the script that reminded me of something. I can't concentrate right now. Can I go back first? Regarding this script, I still have I can’t calm down and seriously consider whether to act or not.”

Liu Bige looked at him in surprise, nodded, and said, "Okay, you have my contact information, please contact me if you think about it."

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Sorry, I'm leaving first."

He got up and left.

Liu Bige looked at his leaving figure with confusion. He didn't know what was going on with Lu Yanhe for a moment.

Where in the script did he behave like this?

Feeling a bit out of place.

-

Mao Jiayang and the others were a little strange. Lu Yanhe went to bed early today.

Normally Lu Yanhe would not go to bed at eleven o'clock.

For modern college students, going to bed before eleven o'clock is simply unbelievable.

Xiao Jing, who did not go to today's exchange event, chatted privately with Mao Jiayang and asked: Is the atmosphere at the venue bad today?

Mao Jiayang said: No, everything is fine.

Mao Jiayang said: Maybe he is just tired.

Xiao Jing: It’s really rare. He usually goes to bed last.

…

Lu Yanhe actually didn't sleep, he was just lying in bed thinking about things.

The scene where Yuan Yi picked up a table knife and stabbed Teacher Su Su flashed back in his mind. It was horrifying and bloody. Even if it appeared in his memory, it still had an unforgettable sharpness.

In fact, this incident has always been kept in the depths of Lu Yanhe's mind, like a lingering horror scene. It is also a mystery that Lu Yanhe has never understood or understood.

To this day, Lu Yanhe still can't understand why Yuan Yi can stand opposite Su Su after inserting the knife into Su Su's body, smile condescendingly at Su Su, and say to him in a calm tone. : "You said you would love me forever, but you made a mistake. This is what you owe me."

If you draw a dividing line between Yuan Yi and Su Su, and ignore Su Su's side, the tone of Yuan Yi's words is even like a favorite poem in a rainy morning, facing the dim morning light, with a clear tone.

-

The next morning, Lu Yanhe still got up at six o'clock and went out for a morning run.

Sweat rolled down, he panted, and felt like he was back to the world.

There was a newsstand at the school gate - a newsstand that was very rare in this era.

Lu Yanhe saw the first issue of "Jump Up".

When he passed by, he asked: "Boss, is this book selling well?"

The boss nodded and said: "Not bad, I have sold almost a hundred copies."

This is in Zhenhua, there are many students, and it is the only newsstand nearby. It is rare to have such a high sales figure.

Lu Yanhe thanked and ran to the school.

When he returned to the dormitory at seven o'clock, no one had gotten up yet.

He walked lightly, washed up, and carried his schoolbag to the classroom.

The script of "Miss Ning" resurfaced in his mind.

Only at this time could he examine the script by recalling it.

This is a script full of metaphors, including the role he was asked to play, a person who seemed normal on the surface but was actually out of control and paranoid, just like Ning Yin's life.

In the foreign literature course, the professor said that there is a trend in Western literature, especially modern literature, which focuses on the analysis of people's hearts and lives.

Lu Yanhe felt that "Miss Ning" was such a script. Of course, it is not dull, and many dialogues, including the structure of the play, show a sense of art.

But what interests Lu Yanhe most about this script is the role he was asked to play.

He does not particularly understand the psychological drive of this role, but he has a natural curiosity and desire to explore.

At noon, Lu Yanhe went to the restaurant to meet Chen Ziyan and Zou Dong.

Zou Dong is the bodyguard that Chen Ziyan found for him.

Zou Dong looks like a very strong man, with a sturdy figure, wearing a shirt and a tie, and he seems to attach great importance to this meeting with Lu Yanhe.

Brief introduction, greetings, and hello.

Lu Yanhe called Dong brother.

It is true that as Chen Ziyan said, Zou Dong is a taciturn person.

He has almost no smile on his face, and his face is as straight as a rock.

But he sat on the chair with his back straight, with a reliable temperament, giving people a sense of integrity that can be trusted.

Lu Yanhe had a brief chat with Zou Dong, mainly asking about his attitude towards this job and the entertainment industry.

Zou Dong's answer was also very simple, in fact, it meant that he was only responsible for doing his job well, and he had no opinions or attitudes on other things.

Because there are many people who hate the entertainment industry. Lu Yanhe also understands that compared with other industries, this industry is like a huge kaleidoscope, bizarre, bright and beautiful, and under high exposure, countless joys, sorrows, anger, and human shadows are magnified.

But at least the people around him cannot be such people. Chen Ziyan must have understood it, and he himself wanted to ask again, so that he could get to know Zou Dong better.

"Is Brother Dong married?"

"I have, but we are divorced."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

Zou Dong said, "I have a son, he is seven years old this year, he lives with his mother, and I live alone."

"So that's how it is." Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Ziyan added, "When necessary, Zou Dong can be with you 24 hours a day."

It seems that this is a very important condition for Chen Ziyan to choose Zou Dong.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Ziyan smiled and said, "You are very young, and you often go back and forth between school and work. When the time comes, let the company provide you with a car, and your travel, logistics and security can be handed over to Zou Dong."

Lu Yanhe nodded and nodded to Zou Dong, "Brother Dong, I will leave it to you from now on."

Zou Dong nodded solemnly in greeting.

-

After lunch, Lu Yanhe mentioned to Chen Ziyan the script that Liu Bige showed him last night.

"Sister Ziyan, do you think I can take it?"

Chen Ziyan pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't read the script yet, so I can't give you any opinions. What do you think?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I want to act. It's a role that I really want to play."

Chen Ziyan said, "It doesn't matter whether it's an art film or an independent film. With your image, acting in this kind of movie will give you extra points. Supporting roles are also OK, but you have to see who the protagonist is. But from your description, the only protagonist of this movie is a woman, so it doesn't matter if you play a supporting role in this movie. Just be a special one. These objective problems don't exist. What I care about is what team this movie has. They said that French director Olivia will be the producer. If this is true, then if you want to act, we will seriously promote it. Push Liu Bigo to me and I will contact him."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe was relieved to hear that Chen Ziyan agreed with his opinion.

After all, Chen Ziyan has the final say on what role he wants to take. If Chen Ziyan doesn't agree with him acting, he can't act.

Chen Ziyan's phone rang at this time.

She picked it up and took a look, then suddenly cursed.

"Sister Ziyan?"

Chen Ziyan looked up at Lu Yanhe again, shook her head, and said, "It's okay, it was those idiots from "Sanchakou" who responded and deliberately smeared Minglan."

When Lu Yanhe heard this, he immediately asked, "What did they say?"

Chen Ziyan: "It's just that the script was modified based on the on-site shooting conditions. Because Minglan refused to accept the adjustment of her role, she deliberately discredited the crew, and then announced that Minglan would be held legally responsible."

Lu Yanhe couldn't help frowning and asked, "Will Minglan be legally responsible for this matter?"

"It depends on how the lawsuit is fought, but from the facts, it will definitely be in our favor. "Sanchakou" may not really sue. They themselves understand what they have done. If they really want to go that far, the facts will not help them. unfavorable."

Chen Ziyan's thinking was actually very clear. After the moment of anger when she saw the news, she was already thinking of countermeasures.

The countermeasures gradually took shape in her mind.

"I'm leaving first, you go back to school."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Zou Dong said: "I drove the car and I will take you back."

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "No, it's very close to the school. It only takes me ten minutes to walk back."

Hearing this, Zou Dong nodded and said, "Then I will take you to the school gate. From now on, wherever you go, as long as you leave the school, you can come to me at any time."

Lu Yanhe nodded in surprise.

Zou Dong got into the role faster than he imagined.

-

Lu Yanhe went directly to the library at noon.

He checked the response of "Sanchakou" on his mobile phone.

Although the content of this response was just posted, it has already become a popular content, and too many people clicked on it immediately.

The response from "Sanchakou" seems to be a long article, but in fact half of it is filled with complaints. For example, communication with Wen Minglan was not smooth from the beginning. After Wen Minglan joined the cast, she proposed to the crew that the filming time should not exceed eight hours a day. Hours of work were required, and she was often late. It was also reported that Wen Minglan was dissatisfied with her makeup and refused to look ugly for the role, which led to delays in filming, etc.

All in all, according to their description, Wen Minglan is a very difficult actress because she has a particularly awesome agent. She is obviously just a newcomer, but she also puts her eyes above her own and doesn't put others in her eyes.

Seeing such a description, Lu Yanhe suddenly felt speechless. No wonder Chen Ziyan got so angry in an instant after seeing it. She couldn't control her temper and even cursed him.

The response to this article on the Internet is almost half and half.

Half of them felt "suddenly enlightened" and discovered that Wen Minglan turned out to be "this kind of person".

The other half didn't believe what "Sanchakou" said. After all, speaking out after so long made people feel guilty. And it took such a long time to write such a response, evading the important issues and blaming Wen Minglan, but it confirmed what Wen Minglan said.

This matter is being discussed in the entertainment industry, it is being discussed online, and it is also being discussed in sociology courses.

Everyone has five minutes to express their opinions. The teacher of this course likes to let students participate in the class, so he often asks everyone to discuss a social issue.

Regarding Wen Minglan, she had asked everyone to write commentaries before, and today she asked everyone to make impromptu expressions.

She said: "I know that everyone is very good at reading, and I have no doubt about your desk reading ability. But in college, everyone has to learn to write and speak, two different forms, but they all learn one thing, theory. Be clear about your own thinking, figure out the opinions and arguments you want to express, and then learn to express them in the most understandable and convincing way.”

Lu Yanhe was the first to be named.

"You work in the entertainment industry, so you should feel it the most. You speak first."

Lu Yanhe had no choice but to stand up, feeling a little embarrassed and confused at the same time, not knowing what to say.

Everyone in the classroom looked at him. When he was focused on by many eyes, there was an invisible pressure.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said: "I think everyone has his own position and starting point when talking and doing things. If you want to discuss a person's right or wrong, it will be easy to fall into the contradictory cycle of emotion and reason. Standing in my position The perspective is wrong, but it may be right to stand from the perspective of others, because the interests of both parties are inconsistent. Therefore, at this time, we should look at what the two parties have agreed and reached consensus on, and focus on Wen Minglan and the crew of "Sanchakou" It is a performance agreement signed by both parties. The spirit of the contract is an important factor in maintaining the continuity of a multi-person project. In this matter, whoever is the main party that violates the spirit of the contract will be held responsible. "

"Does anyone want to refute?" the teacher immediately asked other students.

Someone raised his hand, it was a boy.

He said: "The contract is of course important, but in fact we all know that if we only act in accordance with the contract, many things will not be able to be done due to changes in the specific situation. Of course, I don't understand the relationship between Wen Minglan and "Sanchakou" What happened? Now all parties have different opinions. It can be assumed that before filming, the showrunners communicated with Wen Minglan about the role of a second female lead. However, during the actual filming process, the director and screenwriter discovered that the second female lead had many It makes more sense for the lead female character to play the role, so what should the showrunners do at this time? Should they stick to the spirit of the contract and film the mistakes as they happen, or should they make timely adjustments and turn the locomotive back on the right track?"

Sociology is an elective course, and students in this course come from different colleges.

Lu Yanhe didn't know the person who expressed his opinion, but after listening to what he said, he fell into deep thought.

Because he realized that what this person said made sense.

Probably because the two of them expressed their opinions, after that, they all stood up and expressed their opinions without the teacher's call.

Lu Yanhe didn't stand up again, but wrote down some opinions that inspired him and made him think.

After class, Lu Yanhe packed up his books and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

The person who refuted his opinion just now called him.

"Hey, Lu Yanhe."

Lu Yanhe looked over blankly.

"I'm Sui Jiang, from the School of Business Administration." The other party smiled brightly and asked, "I just refuted you in class, you're not angry, are you?"

Lu Yanhe waved his hand and said, "It's a normal discussion, how can I be angry."

"That's good." Sui Jiang said, "How about we add each other as friends? For the group assignment later, maybe we can team up."

The sociology course will have social topic research later, and we will also have to work together to write papers, which are all passed down by seniors from previous years.

Lu Yanhe nodded and took out his mobile phone.

-

Only Zhou Mukai was in the dormitory.

There was a girl on his computer screen, probably his girlfriend, and the two were on a video call.

Lu Yanhe greeted Zhou Mukai, put the books for the two afternoon classes into his schoolbag, and took out the laptop, then put the schoolbag aside, stretched, and turned on the computer.

Zhou Mukai ended the video call immediately.

"Have you finished your morning classes?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, turned around and asked with a smile, "Is that your girlfriend just now?"

"Yes." Zhou Mukai nodded, "She's in Yuming."

Lu Yanhe was surprised and asked, "You two...are you high school classmates?"

"Yes." Zhou Mukai nodded.

"Awesome, then you two should be legends in your high school, a couple, one in Zhenhua and the other in Yuming."

Zhou Mukai raised his mouth sullenly and said, "It's okay, we are both the top students in the grade."

"Hmm? Do we take turns to be the banker?"

"I'm in the arts, she's in the sciences." Zhou Mukai explained, raised his mouth again, and said silently, "Continuous banker."

A man of few words is very sultry.

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"That's awesome."

Zhou Mukai glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"Ah?"

"You and Chen Siqi are also together, right? Although you seem to have denied it before."

"Well, it's not public yet." Lu Yanhe said.

To be precise, the two of them were not officially together, and there was no confession or agreement. Instead, it was a tacit understanding.

Zhou Mukai nodded knowingly.

"The book you two made is quite interesting." Zhou Mukai said.

"Really? I thought you would think it was not serious enough."

"If I wanted to read a serious book, I would not read "Jump Up." Zhou Mukai said, "I haven't read a magazine for a long time. Although you call it a theme book now, it still looks like a magazine. There is not much difference."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Because I wanted to make a magazine from the beginning."

He logged into his mailbox and received the manuscripts sent by Chen Siqi for the second issue to be published.

In the second issue, there are the creative notes of Jia Long, the leading actor of "Honest People", Li Zhibai's fictional novel about confession, the first serial of Liujia Town's suspense novel, a short story written by Bai Yu, and several essays and miscellaneous notes received from the submission mailbox.

Lu Yanhe put on his headphones and read them carefully. The quality of the manuscripts was very high, including the manuscripts received in the submission mailboxes.

Chen Siqi said: These are all the candidate manuscripts for the second issue. Huang Kairen's manuscript will have to wait for you.

Lu Yanhe agreed. He contacted Huang Kairen last time, and Huang Kairen said that he would try to write the manuscript in the next few days and give it to him.

Chen Siqi said again: It doesn't matter if you can't wait. I have made appointments with more than a dozen popular writers. Many writers who have contributed to the magazine in the past, knowing that we want to continue, have contacted us through various channels and want to cooperate. Of course, I will accept more. At this stage, we are very short of manuscripts.

Lu Yanhe: Brother Kairen may be very busy, so the manuscript has not come yet. Let's wait a little longer. If we really can't wait, we will not put his manuscript up for the time being. Previously, Peng Zhixing and Liu Zhiyin both said they would write articles for us. Zhixing planned to write a column about his interview program, while Zhiyin wanted to write about her overseas trainee life and girl group experience. The articles have not been sent yet, so I asked them.

Chen Siqi: The second issue already has articles by Jia Long and Li Zhibai, plus you must publish one, and Huang Kairen's article. The lineup of celebrity artists is enough, so there is no rush to publish it in the second issue.

Lu Yanhe agreed.

Chen Siqi: I invited a very famous cartoonist in our country to draw the cover of the second issue. It was very expensive, costing three thousand yuan.

Lu Yanhe: It's okay as long as you think it's worth it.

Chen Siqi: I think it is worth it. Although "Jump Up" is positioned as a series of books on literary themes, it is not just about literature. I want to invite all the great people in the fields of literature and art to our book and leave their footprints in this book. Moreover, the publicity value of him drawing the cover of "Jump Up" is far more than 3,000 yuan.

Lu Yanhe: Who is it?

Chen Siqi: Jiang Yubai, the author of "Children of Time and Space".

When Lu Yanhe heard the name of "Children of Time and Space", he showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

Although he had never heard of Jiang Yubai's name, he knew "Children of Time and Space". It is a very famous comic. It is now being adapted into a web drama. From time to time, it will be on the hot search because of the rumors about the starring actors on the Internet.

Chen Siqi: Thanks to the great momentum of our first issue, Teacher Jiang agreed to draw a cover for us.

Lu Yanhe: Awesome, how did you think of looking for him?

Chen Siqi: Because "Children of Time and Space" is one of the most popular serialized comics in our country.

That afternoon, the account of "Jump Up" released a message: The cover of the second issue of "Jump Up" will be drawn by Mr. Jiang Yubai, the author of the comic "Children of Time and Space". Let's look forward to it together!

After Chen Siqi forwarded it herself, she privately asked Lu Yanhe to forward it.

Lu Yanhe quickly forwarded it.

Sure enough, just as Chen Siqi said, Jiang Yubai and the readers of "Children of Time and Space" were quite surprised after seeing this news, and even curious whether Jiang Yubai would draw a new series on "Jump Up".

The topic is indeed here.

Lu Yanhe also followed Jiang Yubai.

That night, Jiang Yubai also followed him back and sent him a private message: Please give me more advice.

Lu Yanhe saw the private message and asked: Teacher Jiang, can I add you as a friend?

Jiang Yubai: OK, OK.

The two added each other as friends again.

At this time, Huang Kairen suddenly sent a message to Lu Yanhe: Yanhe, are you going to play "Children of Time and Space"?

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he saw the message and said: No, Brother Kairen, why do you say that?

Huang Kairen said: I heard someone say that you have cooperated with Jiang Yubai, the author of "Children of Time and Space". He admires you very much and recommended you to the film and television producers of "Children of Time and Space".

Lu Yanhe was very surprised and said: That person made it up. I just added Teacher Jiang as a friend a second ago. It's just that Siqi asked him to draw the cover of the second issue of "Jump Up". Speaking of this cooperation, Brother Kairen, when will you give me the manuscript you promised?

Huang Kairen: I am writing it, but when I heard the news, I hurried to ask you.

Lu Yanhe: Are you a fan of "Children of Time and Space"?

Huang Kairen sent two "nodding vigorously" emojis.

He said: I expressed my willingness to act through my agent, but he didn't seem to think much of me.
