Choose a day to become famous

"Then they took the initiative to come to me, but you didn't come to me. I thought you weren't interested, so of course I gave it to them."

What Zheng Huairen didn't say was that before Icefield Video started, Zheng Huairen and the others had never thought about adapting Lu Yanhe's movie script into an online drama script. The main reason is that Lu Yanhe’s previous cooperation with Northern Lights Video in drama series always provided scripts for the series directly. Unlike Icefield Video, he had to find a screenwriter to adapt it.

Now Zheng Huairen is a little anxious.

Because including this "Telephone", Icefield Video and Lu Yanhe will collaborate on four dramas.

As an old boss who collaborated with Lu Yanhe on drama series, how can I watch the Northern Lights video?

What makes Zheng Huairen even more depressing is why Icefield Video was able to buy the rights to adapt four TV series at once?

Do they have such ample liquidity?

What Zheng Huairen didn't know was that the copyright fee for Lu Yanhe's cooperation with Icefield Video was not expensive. In the market, it was basically only the price of first-tier IP, far from reaching the price of those top IPs. In this way, Lu Yanhe gave up the short-term high licensing fees and obtained the subsequent revenue sharing rights of the series.

This is different from his cooperation model with Northern Lights Video.

-

Licensing agreements were signed one after another, and a leather company like Linghe Film and Television opened by Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan actually made tens of millions in revenue from the adaptation licensing business.

Because there is no legal affairs or accounting, these matters are handled by people from Chen Ziyan's senior brokerage service company.

While Chen Ziyan was living one agreement after another, she was speechless and said to Lu Qingzhen: "Look, I always feel that I can make money quickly enough, but in the end, I can't compare with Yan He. The copyrights in his hands are all Hold it, it feels like you are lying on a golden mountain.”

These licensing deals are about more than just TV series.

For example, "Rouge" has also licensed stage plays, audio dramas, and comics, while "The Journey" has also licensed audio dramas, comics, and has launched business cooperation with a travel agency.

Chen Ziyan said: "Linghe really can no longer operate as a handbag company. At least, there must be someone who specializes in copyright matters."

Lu Qingzhen nodded and said, "This is true. Yan He's scripts have not only been adapted in China, I see that TVN is also adapting them."

Chen Ziyan: "Yes, things that are difficult for others seem to have become very easy here in Lu Yanhe. If you look at our Chinese film and television dramas, how many of them can be picked up and adapted by foreign film and television companies in a year? , ended up here in Yanhe, one after another.”

Lu Qingzhen said: "It's just that "Rouge Button" was so popular, I didn't expect it."

"Actually, there is a very important reason."

"Um?"

"It won an award at the Los Angeles Film Festival, and the Los Angeles Film Festival was the only Audience Choice Award among the four top international film festivals." Chen Ziyan said, "I thought it was Yan He's luck at first, but then I went to watch it Looking at the award-winning films at the Hollywood Film Festival in the past few years, I found that they are actually quite popular with producers from all over the world. Not only are they competing for their distribution rights, but many companies are also competing for their adaptation rights. "

Lu Qingzhen: “Do you recognize the Jose Film Festival so much?”

"Mainly the films coming out of the Hollywood Film Festival have very good commercial results." Chen Ziyan said, "This is probably the reason why they recognized it."

Lu Qingzhen said: "Ziyan, have you ever considered that if Linghe unexpectedly flourishes in the field of film and television copyright operations, you can actually do more than just Yanhe's copyright? As you said, with so many film and television dramas in our country, There are probably more than a thousand movies released every year. Because of Yanhe, a large number of partners come to us. Why don’t you act as an agent for some of the best domestic film and television dramas or other IPs?”

Chen Ziyan: "How can I have so much energy? I haven't found anyone to do my own operations yet."

"Then go find him. Now we are not discussing whether to find this person or not, but you have already planned to find him. Once you have found him, you will do Yan He's copyright operation alone, and you will do more." Lu Qingzhen He said, "If you think about it like this, how big a network can you build? Film and television production companies, broadcast platforms, domestic and foreign, and IP projects are all resources that you only have at your disposal. Then think about it again." Think about it, our high-end brokerage service company, don’t artists want the best quality service that can help them achieve career breakthroughs?”

Lu Qingzhen's eyes sparkled.

In her vision, a huge empire has been built.

Chen Ziyan fell into deep thought.

In fact, what Lu Qingzhen said has been vaguely reflected in Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe wrote "Rouge Button" for Chen Bige and gave the male lead to Huang Kairen. I wrote "Telephone" for Jiang Yuqian, and gave another heroine to Wang Jing. Write "Squid Game" to Jiang Jun...

The “huge organization” Lu Qingzhen calls has begun to take shape.

The box-office success of "Unfortunately" and the awards success of "Rouge" will only make Lu Yanhe more and more popular in this industry in the future.

In other words, if she really sets up a "copyright operation" network, as Lu Qingzhen said, she can directly control the best resources.

As an agent herself, she certainly knows how valuable such resources are to celebrity artists.

-

Shortly after the Phenom Awards ended, the nomination list for the Lingyun Awards also came out.

Lu Yanhe received the same nomination as the Phenom Award.

This time, the nomination list for the Lingyun Award and the Phenom Award have almost the highest overlap rate in the past ten years.

There are also some differences. For example, "Angry Crow" was not nominated for the Best Picture and Best Director awards. It was criticized by the media for not paying attention to animated films at the Lingyun Awards, and was ridiculed fiercely.

For example, "My Home I Haven't Returned for a Long Time" was not nominated for Best Actress, which shocked everyone. Fans of Xu Yiren and fans of this movie directly scolded the Lingyun Award to the top of the hot search. Xu Yiren had to grit his teeth and stand up to appease fans, saying that he was not nominated this time and would continue to work hard next time.

The Lingyun Award's judging style itself is more biased towards literature and art films. This time, some of the quotas freed up were basically given to films of this type. Especially for "Happy Days", Ning Xiulian's boyfriend, Gu Zhaodu, who starred in "Happy Days", received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this movie, which shocked many people.

He belongs to the type that many people think "doesn't deserve to be nominated". Because he is really just "selling meat" in the movie and has no acting content.

Someone sarcastically said: I love "Happy Days" so much at the Lingyun Awards. I guess if I had appeared in it and said a few words, I would have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

There is a lot of confusion on the Internet.

Lu Yanhe didn't care about this at all.

He was busy finishing some things on the "Telephone" project, and had to help Li Zhibai with the "Nineteen Years of Crime" drama.

It is not that many film and television companies are unwilling to do it. With Li Zhibai as the producer and starring, this gimmick is here, and it is not a high-risk project like a movie. Which film and television company does not want to do it.

But it's another matter to get better conditions. They all used the failure of the movie version as an excuse to say that the risk was too high, in order to lower Li Zhibai's price.

Li Zhibai had never encountered such a thing.

When he was an actor, people basically agreed to any conditions as long as he was willing to act.

One time he didn't want to act in a certain play, but the other party was pestering him to death, so Li Zhibai offered a sky-high price, saying that he wanted a salary of 120 million plus post-broadcast dividends - this was simply an extremely unrealistic condition. But they gritted their teeth and agreed. Li Zhibai was so frightened that he quickly asked Lin Suyang to solve it.

Now, Li Zhibai wants to argue with them, which may only involve the decimal point of millions of accounts.

"In business, the person who gritted his teeth in the past was willing to give you a salary of 120 million, not because he was stupid, but because he had calculated that even so, the money could be made back. But now I'm going to tell you about the decimal point. Because for a film and television project, each decimal point may be only a few hundred thousand, and when it is large, it may reach tens of millions," Lu Yanhe said, "The reason why people can stay with us for so long is because they got the "Nineteen Years" right. "True Crime" project, because of the failure of the movie version, everyone must have concerns and worries, and use this to lower the price and gain more profit space for them, which is normal. "

Li Zhibai said: "Oh."

"However, there is nothing we can do about it. Every project must go through this." Lu Yanhe said, "It's also quite interesting. I wasn't responsible for negotiating these things before, but I will follow and watch. You can learn something by observing everyone’s micro-expressions and language.”

Li Zhibai: "I think I need to find a collaborator who can help me handle these things. Now I finally understand why those big-name directors have a regular producer."

"Artists also need logistical butlers to help them solve worldly worries." Lu Yanhe smiled.

"Correct answer."

-

Evening, eleven o'clock.

Airport.

Chen Qin stood in the airport reception hall, waiting for Linyu to come out.

Linyu went to France to attend a film forum in the past two days and was invited as the chief film critic of "Jump Up".

She now focuses almost entirely on movie reviews.

She likes this kind of work herself, and "Jump Up" and Lu Yanhe also need her to do this job.

Chen Qin waited for about fifteen minutes before Linyu came out.

After Linyu saw Chen Qin, a smile appeared on her face.

She hugged Chen Qin.

"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Linyu asked.

Chen Qin shook his head and said, "It won't take long, let's go."

He took the suitcase from Linyu's hand and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first before going back?"

Linyu said: "I'm not hungry, but now that the school gate time has passed, I can only stay in a hotel tonight."

Chen Qin asked: "Then why don't you just go home?"

They are all from Yuming.

My family is all in Yuming.

Linyu said: "It's too late. If I tell my parents that I'm going back today, they will definitely wait until I go back before going to bed. I don't want to disturb them. Besides, I have classes tomorrow morning. If I go home to live, I won't go to bed tomorrow morning." I had to get up at six o'clock, and I still wanted to sleep a little longer, so I just booked a hotel next to the school. "

Chen Qin nodded.

"How's your graduation thesis going?" Linyu asked.

Chen Qin: "The first draft has been sent to the teacher. I have made an appointment to discuss it in his office next Monday."

Linyu: "I'm envious."

Chen Qin smiled and asked, "Are you alone in France this time? Didn't you take Li Bi with you?"

When Lin Yu went abroad, most of the time she was involved in film festivals, so she teamed up with Li Bi.

Linyu: "This time it's not a film festival, it's just a film forum. Li Bi has nothing to do."

"Same." Chen Qin smiled.

Linyu asked: "By the way, have you made up your mind? Do you want to officially join "Jump Up"?"

In the past few years, Chen Qin has been helping "Jump Up" in an "informal" way, but he does not have a formal position in "Jump Up" like Lin Yu and others.

This was of course not because Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi refused to give him a formal position, but because Chen Qin himself had not thought about it well.

He always felt that he would not join "Jump Up". Of course, there is another very important reason. Linyu is already in "Jump Up", and he thinks it is better for the two of them not to work in the same place.

Chen Qin said: "Actually, Yan He called me yesterday."

"Huh?" Linyu asked, "He's looking for you?"

"Yes." Chen Qin nodded, "He invited me to join his company, not "Jump Up", but his film and television production company."

Linyu suddenly realized.

"Then what do you think?"

"I... this is of course a good opportunity." Chen Qin said, "He told me that originally his company did not plan to do physical operations, but the situation has changed. Many of his projects are in this company. The company, so he and his agent are going to recruit a few people from outside to run the company. He needs someone he can trust to join the company. "

Linyu pondered for a moment and said: "Linghe is engaged in film and television production. It is now mainly the copyright owner of several Yan He movies and scripts. It has a large number of copyright operations. You studied law, and you were considered a professional in the past. Correspondence."

Chen Qin: "Well, I think so too. In fact, he also said that he wanted me to join, not that I would be able to take on any business in the company right away."

"He doesn't want to be kept in the dark." Linyu said, "In the past few years, Yan He's career has developed rapidly, and his career territory has also expanded. This was even something he consciously suppressed. Otherwise, the territory will be bigger. It’s good for you to go there. It is almost foreseeable that that company will occupy an absolute core position in Yanhe’s business territory in the future.”

Chen Qin: "Actually, I'm also wondering why he doesn't find someone from your "Jump Up" team. You guys have gone through the training of "Jump Up" in the past few years and are better than me."

"How are we better than you? I am responsible for the film review area, which is actually a very small circle. Xu Zijun, she is basically the general control of the content of "Jump Up" magazine. Bai Yu, in addition to doing While working as an editor, the focus is also on my own writing. With just a few of us, everyone who goes there starts from scratch," Linyu said, "Besides, I don’t think anyone wants to go there. Now I am working in the field that I like the most and am most interested in. No matter how good the environment is, who would want to change?”

Chen Qin: "Yes."

Linyu gently leaned on Chen Qin's shoulder, "I'm a little sleepy."

Chen Qin adjusted his posture so that Linyu could lean more comfortably, "Then you take a nap first, I'll call you when we get there."

"Um."

Linyu closed her eyes.

Chen Qin looked at the passing night and scenery outside the car window.

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

It’s time to graduate from college.

Chen Qin was surprised when he received a call from Lu Yanhe yesterday.

Although they are all classmates of No. 13 Middle School. However, Chen Qin himself also knew that unlike Lin Yu and Li Pengfei, his relationship with Lu Yanhe was not close. The reason why we can always keep in touch is because of Linyu's relationship.

But precisely because of this, Chen Qin's self-esteem prevented him from staying in "Jump Up" shamelessly.

Every time they needed his help, Chen Qin would definitely come to help, but once they asked him to stay, he would refuse in a hurry.

He talked about various reasons, but he couldn't lie to himself about the real reason.

But Lu Yanhe told him very frankly: "Chen Qin, there are not many people around me that I can trust. It is your circle. If you are willing to help me, it will solve my urgent need."

Chen Qin believed that if Lu Yanhe really needed anyone's help, everyone would be willing to help him. Chen Qin was very satisfied that Lu Yanhe's call came to him instead of being relayed through Linyu.

This made Chen Qin feel that Lu Yanhe really needed him, rather than giving him a chance because of Linyu's relationship.

People's self-esteem is really weird sometimes.

Of course Chen Qin also knows that his self-esteem is too sensitive. In the words of many social veterans, this is not good.

He also knew it was not good, but what could he do? He has such a broken character, and it's not something he can change if he wants to.

You walk into a group of people who are stronger and better than you, and you want to be neither humble nor arrogant. Can you do it?

Linghe Film and Television Production Company.

Chen Qin has always known this company. In fact, he had previously thought about contacting Lu Yanhe and asking him if he needed him to do anything. Chen Qin just felt that compared with his classmates, he was too mediocre, but he did not belittle himself because of this. He felt that he was not good enough. After all, he passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a well-known university.

If he didn't go to Yanhe, he could still go to the law firm and take a road that many people had walked and made smooth. But, if they are all working part-time, why can’t they work for their classmates?

-

Linghe Film and Television Production Company has begun to recruit people.

As a shareholder of this company, Chen Ziyan personally interviewed the CEO candidate and met with five people.

Because it is not positioned as a conventional film and television production company, they cannot find people as CEOs of conventional film and television production companies.

"Generally, at this level, it goes without saying that ability and overall quality are not important. We have to look at the person's philosophy and see if his values ​​match ours." Chen Ziyan told Lu Yanhe, "Currently, of these five people, Xu Tianming personally He has the most beautiful resume. He has experience as a senior executive of Longyan Pictures and Lighthouse Media, as well as project experience, and he understands business. However, according to his background, he has a tough style and a strong personality, so he has always been a key player in his relationship with colleagues. His departure from Longyan Pictures and Lighthouse Media was basically related to interpersonal relationships and internal strife.”

"Chen Yin is a perfect match in terms of ability and personality. Needless to say, he is a relatively cautious and conservative person. We at Linghe Film and Television are not in the stage of aggressive development now. Both funds and personnel are completely in the initial stage. If it were him, it would be quite suitable for him to build the company's basic structure and lay a solid foundation, but his shortcomings are also obvious. He worked all the way up the administrative line and has no project experience. This is not the case. It fits our positioning of Linghe very well.”

…

Chen Ziyan introduced the situations of the five people to Lu Yanhe, with different advantages and disadvantages.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Sister Ziyan, who is the best candidate in your mind?"

"You are the boss, you have the final say." Chen Ziyan said.

Lu Yanhe: "I am the boss and you are the boss's agent. You have to provide advice to the boss."

Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe snickered.

Chen Ziyan said: "Before I give my suggestions, I want to hear your thoughts."

Lu Yanhe felt that Chen Ziyan was testing him.

In fact, Chen Ziyan has always been this style. From the first day she became his manager, she was not the kind of manager who lets artists be puppets and listen to arrangements. She was always exercising his own vision, thinking and abilities, especially judgment, consciously or unconsciously.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "I will first Out Liu Zhiguang. His past work experience is mainly in film and television production. He is a production assistant. In the past twenty years, he has been on the crew almost all the time. He has no management experience in the company. , we don’t have a basic company structure here, and if he comes, he will not have the experience and ability to build this structure for the company. "

Chen Ziyan nodded.

"In my opinion, Li Jing is also a very unsuitable candidate." Lu Yanhe said, "In the past fifteen years, he has changed seven companies. Although his position is getting higher and higher, his experience and representative results are also very good, but, He is obviously a restless person who is looking for a springboard everywhere. We are a small company that has just started, and there is not much room for him to gild. His purpose in coming to us is not simple. We have nothing but a name. , and a very single copyright resource. With his past work experience, what is he doing here? He is a person who likes to find media to publicize and report him wherever he goes. He probably comes to us just to use these famous resources. Let’s continue to use copyright resources to gild his resume. Once the gilding is done, he will continue to pat his butt and leave.”

Chen Ziyan nodded again.

"Well, there are three people left——"

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, "In terms of personal ability and quality, I will lean towards Xu Tianming. It is a big project to make Linghe from scratch. If this person does not have the courage, ability, and sufficient experience, He can't do it. As for his shortcomings and flaws, it's actually not bad. He can't handle relationships with colleagues... Linghe doesn't have any colleagues for him to deal with now. The first thing he does when he comes here is to help the company recruit people. "

Chen Ziyan smiled.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Is my choice consistent with yours?"

Chen Ziyan said: "About 50%."

"Ah? 50%?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Chen Ziyan said: "Xu Tianming, you have made it very clear, but a person who rushes forward boldly must also have an adjutant who can do good logistics and provide food and fodder. I want to talk to Chen Yin to see if we can let him He comes to cooperate with Xu Tianming and serve as Xu Tianming’s deputy.”

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

"It is often easy for people like Chen Yin to ignore his presence. But his cautious and conservative character can go all the way from the administrative line to the senior management without any project experience or background. This is This is enough to show his ability." Chen Ziyan said, "It is difficult to conquer a country, but it is also difficult to defend a country. Let the two of them form a team, which is the best choice I have seen so far."

Lu Yanhe was enlightened.

Chen Ziyan asked: "By the way, has your classmate agreed?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Chen Qin has agreed."

"OK, Xu Fanxing will also complete the handover this month and officially join Linghe." Chen Ziyan said, "It's not easy. A small company has to grow up."

Lu Yanhe smiled at Chen Ziyan.

"I never dreamed of it."

-

"Sister Ziyan, you sent Xu Fanxing here specially, right? Because Linghe is your company, so although she said that she and you each arranged for one of her own people to join the company, in fact, the person she arranged also Your acquaintance is still Zijun’s sister.”

Chen Siqi smiled at Lu Yanhe.

"Sister Ziyan does her job flawlessly."

Lu Yanhe sighed, "I hope she doesn't have to be so alienated from me. If I had treated her as an outsider, I wouldn't have given her 20% of the shares in the first place."

"At that time, no one thought that this company would generate such high value due to these copyright operations. In Sister Ziyan's eyes, didn't she just get a big bargain? Do you think with Sister Ziyan's character, she would allow herself Taking advantage of you?"

"Then her senior brokerage service company also gave me shares."

"You paid for the shares." Chen Siqi, "The nature is different."

Lu Yanhe: "Why are you so clearly divided?"

"The people who really love you and care about you are the ones who don't want to take advantage of you and make a clear distinction with you." Chen Siqi said, "But there are also some people who won't talk to you at critical times. It’s so clear.”

Lu Yanhe laughed.

"I have to buy the copyright for your sentence and write it into the script." He said.

Chen Siqi: "Okay, just treat me to some ice cream, and I'll give it to you."

"It's already November and you still eat ice cream?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.

Chen Siqi: "It's okay to eat one occasionally."

Lu Yanhe: "You'll have a stomachache again then."

Chen Siqi: "No way...but what if I just want to eat ice cream now?"

Lu Yanhe: "Then buy a small ball. It should be okay to eat a little."

Chen Siqi laughed.

…

About five meters away from the two of them, Wang Biao, Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang, were following Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi.

"If Chen Siqi comes, let's not get close to him. Brother Lu basically spends all his time at work. As for life, you didn't catch up with him when he was in class. Now the school is over. He basically doesn’t have to go back to school, so his life is basically filled with friends like Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, Li Pengfei, and his girlfriend Chen Siqi.”

"These people are the closest and most trusted people in Brother Lu's life. It is difficult for them to meet each other. When we can meet, we have to try our best to allow them to enjoy a space where they will not be disturbed. So, at this time, , If we can’t appear in their sight, don’t appear.”

Wang Biao explained to Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang, "You two are both top students who graduated from prestigious schools, but the job of an assistant is basically to help your employer solve any problems. I don't know if you two will." There will be a huge gap.”

Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang immediately shook their heads.

"Anyway, if you are not used to it, go tell Sister Ziyan and see what she arranges. I will just follow her orders." Wang Biao said, "But one thing, whether you are used to it or not is all your business. It’s up to you whether you want to stay or not, but don’t do it reluctantly while feeling unable to accept it, causing problems at work and affecting Brother Lu.”

Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang nodded.

"You are all older than me, and you must know better than me how to act responsibly." Wang Biao finally said with a smile, "I messed up, and Brother Lu will wipe my butt for me, but you have just come here, if you If you mess it up, Brother Lu may not be able to wipe your ass."

Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang: "..."

"Of course, you two work hard. Brother Xiao Lu will not treat you badly. You have been following him for so long. You should have your own judgment on what kind of person Brother Xiao Lu is." After Wang Biao finished speaking, suddenly Realizing something, he added: "But don't fool around just because others are nice. I'll be the first to say something ugly. If I find you fooling around and doing things half-heartedly, I will report it directly to Sister Ziyan. Others. Forget it, I won't allow you to influence Brother Lu."

"Won't."

"We won't."

Both Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang have large heads.

For a "senior" like Wang Biao, Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang really spent a lot of effort to adjust their mentality.

A "senior" who is about to turn eighteen but is not yet full. As Lu Yanhe's first assistant, his personality is not gentle and easy to deal with. However, if you want to say that he is deliberately making things difficult, that is not the case.

In terms of his work ability, Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang felt like they were "clear". It’s not about how capable he is, but that he knows everything and every approach, and he has a unique idea of ​​how to solve any problems he encounters. This is a trait rarely displayed by people his age.

But on the other hand, he often said childish words and acted childishly, making Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang dumbfounded.

-

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi went to see the newly released movie "Xingyuan", a biographical movie starring Meng Ling.

In such an unpopular time period as November, most of the films currently in the market are those nominated and winning films for the Phenom Awards.

Movies such as "Angry Crow", "The Home I Haven't Returned to for a Long Time", "Nine Yin" and "Rouge", which have achieved very good box office results, were also re-released in theaters after winning the award. After two days of millions of box office , the daily box office dropped directly to six figures.

Movies such as "The Seventh Chapter of a Floating Life" and "Lin Yuan" now only have tens of thousands of yuan left at the box office every day.

However, probably because "Happy Days" has not yet been launched on video websites, the movie's box office has topped the million-dollar box office for several days after the results of the Phenom Awards came out.

"Path of Glory" has persisted in the screening route, but due to the popularity of the Phenom Awards, its average attendance has slightly increased.

"Star" is a rare new film.

Because it stars Yu Meng Ling, it has attracted quite a lot of attention.

Lu Yanhe watched the movie with Chen Siqi. As soon as he walked out of the cinema, Chen Siqi whispered: "The filming is so mediocre."

"Yes, it's a pity for Meng Ling's acting skills. What impressed me most in the whole film was her performance."

Chen Siqi said: "It seems that Yu Mengling has never acted in a particularly popular movie."

"She has always focused on acting in serious movies." Lu Yanhe said.

The previous movie "Fuso" starring Meng Lingna was also an art film.

"However, she has basically never played supporting roles. I have seen her resume and she was the protagonist in her first movie."

"I heard that her family was very well off. When she wanted to be an actress, she found many friends in her family to make her career smooth after graduation." Chen Siqi said, "Because she acted in low-cost art films, she has always been famous. Not high, but she seems to be quite recognized by the industry.”

Lu Yanhe suddenly remembered the "different paths" he told Wang Jing.

Everyone has chosen a path to take.

Yu Menngling chose to stick to his own standards.

It's actually quite good.

Different roads lead to the same destination, it just depends on whether you can reach the end.

"We seemed to have been photographed just now." Chen Siqi said suddenly.

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe asked, "Where?"

"The black car across the road." Chen Siqi said.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Let them take whatever they want."

That's the advantage of being open. You don't have to hide it. You can take pictures if you want.

Chen Siqi sighed: "Well, it's just a pity."

"What's a pity?"

"Our 'power accumulation plan' failed." Chen Siqi said.

After several months of vigorous efforts in the director selection plan they had launched, they had to reluctantly admit the fact that, except for the two recommended contestants from Northern Lights Video, they had not discovered any real talents in this event. Director with talent and potential.

No short film meets their standards.

"It's okay. If you fail, you will fail. There will always be failures." Lu Yanhe comforted Chen Siqi, "Then the rewards we promised should be fulfilled in the end, right?"

"Well, honor it." Chen Siqi said, "You can't be a person who breaks your promise just because you don't like it."

The "power accumulation plan" did not succeed, which made Lu Yanhe a little sad. However, failure is the norm and success is accidental. It is an incredible miracle that he can succeed so many times.

-

This time Chen Siqi will be back for only two days.

Lu Yanhe sent Chen Siqi to the airport and then asked: "After filming "Love Letter" is finished, can we consider going to look at the house?"

Chen Siqi was stunned, "What house?"

"Just...don't you want to move the editorial department of "Jump Up" to Yuming later? Since we are based in Yuming, why don't we rent a house together?"

Neither of them has paid enough social security for a year, so they cannot buy a house and can only rent.

Lu Yanhe has always remembered this incident.

Chen Siqi reacted after hearing what Lu Yanhe said, "Oh, okay, then let's go and take a look together."

Lu Yanhe scratched his head and asked, "Are you willing to live with me?"

"Yes." Chen Siqi said, "I just said it suddenly, which made me a little bit unresponsive. However, I plan to buy the house for our "Jump Up" editorial office in Lingyang District, one-way drive from the city center. It’ll take an hour and a half, and I’ll definitely be there most of the time.”

In order to save rent, Chen Siqi directly bought a house in Lingyang District to use as the office location of "Jump Up". If you can't afford it in the city center, you go to Lingyang District where the average price is only 25,000.

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I know, but you must always come to the city for business, and you still have to travel frequently. It will be much more convenient for you to rent a house here."

"Well, then you won't live with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang?" Chen Siqi asked curiously, "I've always had the feeling that the three of you will live together forever."

Lu Yanhe said: "Actually, I just have one more thing I want to discuss with you. If a suitable house comes out in Ziyuanqiao, how about we just rent it in Ziyuanqiao?"

Chen Siqi was stunned.

"We actually live quite comfortably in Ziyuanqiao. This is a university town. Although the rent is very expensive, it is very convenient in all aspects." Lu Yanhe said, "Especially when we want to eat at night, no matter how much You can find a hotel at night.”

Chen Siqi nodded, smiled, and said, "Okay, I can actually do it."

She asked: "However, the three of you will graduate next June, and no one is going to graduate school. Are you going to continue living in Ziyuan Bridge?"

"The three of us have lived here for several years, and we have a good relationship with our neighbors. Moreover, privacy is the first priority for our work. It is rare to have such a place. We have lived here for several years and have never had these problems." Lu Yanhe said, "If we change to another place, we will have to adapt again."

Chen Siqi: "Then you can just buy a house in Ziyuan Bridge in the future and live in one place until retirement."

Lu Yanhe: "That's fine."

Chen Siqi glanced at Lu Yanhe and shook her head.

It's not a rejection, but a feeling of "I'll say it."
