Rebirth Turn

The end of the year is approaching, Lu Yan has been busy this year. Although there are still not many works in film and television, there is only one TV series and two movies, but one album plus one concert is enough for him. After more than half a year of tossing, plus numerous advertisements, endorsements, appearances on shows, interviews, magazine closures, etc., etc., there is almost no idle time.

Lu Yan is not dissatisfied with such a working state. An artist's job is to expose himself to the public to the greatest extent possible. It's just that compared to others, Lu Yan prefers to spend more time and energy on performances. After all, this is the biggest reason why he stepped into this circle and persisted no matter whether it was difficult or smooth.

But Lu Yan knows how realistic this circle is. If you don't have enough fame and influence, even if your acting skills are good, it will be difficult to survive. The former Lu Yan has proved this with his ten years of low ebb. a little. Now what Lu Yan wants is not only to survive in this circle, but to stand at the top, then he can have more rights and qualifications to control his acting career and fulfill his dreams. So before that, Lu Yan had to spend more time on these trivial things that could help him reach the top.

Qin Feng tapped a note on the table with the phone number and a few lines written on it, and smiled, "This is your last job a year ago, and you can take a vacation after that. There are no arrangements for you this Spring Festival. , accompany your girlfriend well." Qin Feng blinked, looking at how kind I am, I don't need to be too grateful.

Lu Yan smiled, this is indeed good news, he has not forgotten to promise Su Mo to go back to the old house of the Su family with him on New Year's Eve, but it is more important to finish the work first, "What kind of work?"

"It's not that complicated, but it's very important," Qin Feng leaned forward. "GQ invites you to shoot a cover for their magazine."

""Smart GQ"? Are you sure?" Lu Yan asked.

"Of course, you are worth enough to be on this cover now, Cannes Best Actor. Besides, isn't that "Absolute Secret Order" that you filmed with Han Yuan a year ago, the timing is just right."

Although "Absolute Secret Order" was filmed in the first half of the year, director Xu Wei is a very picky person. In addition, this film has a lot of post-production special effects, so it was delayed until the end of the year. Before this month, Lu Yan was the most important The job is to follow the propaganda everywhere.

Lu Yan nodded, "When is the time set?"

"This weekend." After Qin Feng finished speaking, he laughed again, "Lu Yan, it's time to take off."

Lu Yan also smiled, "You are right."

It's not that Lu Yan hasn't photographed magazine covers before, but they are all second- and third-tier magazines, which are incomparable with domestic first-tier magazines like "GQ". The fashion industry is the most powerful place. It doesn't matter what films you've made, how good your acting is, or what awards you've even won, it only depends on what magazines you've been in, whether it's a first-line or a few-line, an inner page or a cover, a single There are still many people. Therefore, what can be on the cover of a first-line magazine is a symbol of strength and status. Going to the front line may not immediately prove that you are the front line, but at least you have the qualifications to compete.

No matter how famous or small, high or low value, Lu Yan never likes to be late and won't take Joe. It's not just because he doesn't want to give the impression of being a big name, it's because that's how he works. Whether it was when he was working part-time for tuition and living expenses, or now he is a star, acting, doing shows, or taking pictures, this is his job, and he has always been serious and diligent about his work.

At the appointed time, Lu Yan arrived at the appointed place on time. The work efficiency of the first-line magazines was also very high. The makeup artist, stylist, photographer and other staff were already in place.

Today's makeup artist is Li Hongyu, a well-known male makeup artist in the industry. It is said that some boring people once ranked the top male makeup artists in China, and Li Hongyu was not only in the top ten, but also in the top five. Although this ranking is considered a family's words, it can still explain some problems.

In the impression of ordinary people, male makeup artists seem to be a bit girly, but Li Hongyu is definitely not a girl, and even a bit man, but the dress is in line with people's impression, very fashionable.

Lu Yan also knew Li Hongyu, although today was the first time they met, obviously the other party was the same.

Li Hongyu smiled at Lu Yan and said hello, "Hello Mr. Lu, I'm Li Hongyu, your makeup artist today."

"Hello, I'm Lu Yan." Lu Yan also briefly introduced.

"Mr. Lu himself is much more handsome than he looks on the screen." Li Hongyu complimented.

"I've won the award. Mr. Li is different from the general people's impression of makeup artists." Lu Yan said directly.

"Because I'm more Man, isn't it? In fact, most of my colleagues like to dress like that just to make others trust their profession a little more. It seems that everyone thinks that a good male makeup artist should dress like that." Li Hongyu smiled. .

"What about Mr. Li?" Lu Yan asked.

"Me, I prefer to speak with facts." Li Hongyu laughed a few times, "Just call me Lee, it's too polite to call Mr. Li."

"Okay, then you can also call me Lu Yan directly."

"OK, Lu Yan, you are as easy to get along with as rumored. I believe our cooperation today will be very pleasant."

"I believe too."

Many smart makeup artists like to chat with their work objects before work. On the one hand, they can eliminate the strangeness, and on the other hand, they can also get some information on the other party's personality and behavior from this short-term relationship, which is conducive to their better completion of the work. Li Hongyu is obviously very good at this, and Lu Yan is also very cooperative.

When he started putting on makeup, Li Hongyu was really handy. He kept praising Lu Yan's skin while he was using his hands. He didn't need to apply too thick foundation, it was easier to create a transparent effect. Taste.

Lu Yan answered honestly that he seldom used skin care products, and only when filming would use some sunscreen products or moisturizing masks according to the weather.

Li Hongyu was speechless for a while, and sighed, "It's a natural beauty. However, he also advised Lu Yan that the nature of his work is different after all, and he must be in constant contact with cosmetics, and the cosmetics used under the spotlight are somewhat harmful to the skin. Besides, actors are often exposed to wind, sun and rain when filming. Still need to pay more attention to maintenance. By the way, he also gave Lu Yan some knowledge of male cosmetics, and recommended some suitable things for him.

Lu Yan's response was not bad. Song Hui, who was on the side, had quickly written down all those things with a notepad on his mobile phone. If he didn't remember clearly, he deliberately asked for it clearly before writing it down.

Lu Yan asked strangely, "When did you become so obsessed with skin care products?"

Song Hui smiled, "As a gold medal assistant, the boss's skin care should also be within the scope of daily work. Brother Lu, don't worry, I will take care of these things for you."

Lu Yan was speechless.

Li Hongyu laughed, "Lu Yan, your assistant is really interesting, but what he said makes sense. It seems that you not only have a gold medal manager, but also a gold medal assistant. Congratulations."

Song Hui climbed up the pole and asked for Li Hongyu's contact information by the way, saying that it would be convenient for him to ask if he had any questions in the future. Li Hongyu really had a good impression of Song Hui, so he was very happy to give him a call and Kukuu, saying that if you have any questions about this in the future, feel free to ask him.

Lu Yan was gratified by Song Hui's increasingly excellent social skills.

Lu Yan was very satisfied with the effect after putting on makeup, and said that he was worthy of being the top makeup artist in the industry.

Afterwards, the stylist gave Lu Yan a good look. The short bangs were combed upwards and fixed into a shape. He wore a white shirt, which was naturally sponsored by a big brand. A black tie was hanging but not tied. . It turns out that the full elite fan seems to be free and easy because of this god.

The concave shape was a little rough, probably because it was the first time we collaborated, both the photographer and Lu Yan needed some adaptation. At first, it felt awkward to fiddle with it, and the results were not ideal. Fortunately, everyone is a professional. One is a professional shooter and the other is a professional photographer. After two hours of running in, I slowly found the feeling, and then it became smooth.

After the shooting, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that there are rumors that photographers with similar attributes will improve the quality of shooting. It really makes sense.

Lu Yan couldn't help but think of Ren Yanfei, who had worked together at the beginning. He remembered that their cooperation at that time was very tacit, and they basically entered the state without much running-in. After that, Lu Yan also collaborated with many excellent photographers, but none of them felt so hearty.

I don't know where the photographer who likes to travel around is now, and can he still remember their slightly joking agreement at the time. And when do you want to be eligible to have an exclusive photographer?

Not long after the cover photo was taken, Lu Yan received a sample issue from the magazine, and the cover effect was really good. The corner of Lu Yan's mouth evoked a faint smile, his eyes full of affectionate eyes staring ahead, looking elegant, mature and charming.

Lu Yan posted a message on Weibo when it was decided to shoot the cover of "Intelligent GQ", and then posted a photo that was discarded by the magazine. These two Weibo have been reposted by fans in large numbers, and they can't wait to tell the world that their male gods have been on the cover of first-line men's magazines. Those who know how to do it naturally know what this means, and because it is the first time, I am especially excited. When Lu Yan later appeared on the cover of a first-line men's magazine, the fans were quite calm.

When his last job a year ago ended, Lu Yan directly put Song Hui on leave and asked him to go home early for the New Year. It's a pity that the year before was the busiest day for companies, so even though Lu Yan was free, Su Mo was still so busy that he hardly got home, so the two still didn't have more time to be together.

Taking advantage of these few days, Lu Yan went to visit Zhu Yuchi and other seniors. After a concert, they not only became good friends, but Lu Yan respected Zhu Lao as his teacher. Once, I happened to meet Kong Xiange who also came to visit the teacher at Mrs Zhu's house. Kong Xiange said that although he didn't have time to watch the performance of the teachers in person, he saw the video later and praised Lu Yan's performance. Plus, even offered to cooperate when there is an opportunity.

Naturally, Lu Yan would not reject such a proposal. It would be very beneficial for him to cooperate with the hottest "Piano Prince" in China.

Mr. Zhu was also very happy when he heard it. He said that he and Wang Chong often cooperated back then, and the two were the best partners. He didn't expect their students to have the opportunity to work together 30 years later. This is fate, and it is so exciting.

The three of them drank together that day, and finally stayed at Zhu's home together. A male **** of classical music and a male **** of showbiz established their first friendship in this way.

On New Year's Eve, Su Mo finally finished all his official business, and Lu Yan ushered in the day of seeing the Su family in a mood of anticipation and nervousness.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Mo drove Lu Yan to the old house of the Su family.

Seeing that Lu Yan had deliberately tidied himself up to be extra refreshing and charming, Su Mo couldn't help but smile, knowing that this was because his lover valued this meeting, his family, and in the final analysis, he valued him.

"You don't have to be so careful. I'm going to see my uncles and brothers today. All of them are not fuel-efficient lamps, so they may not be very friendly to you. But don't worry, I am here, and their Opinions will not affect my decision at all."

Lu Yan grasped the meaning of his words and asked, "Then whose opinion can influence your decision? Your parents?"

Su Mo nodded, "Yes. And you are the only one other than them who can influence my decision."

Lu Yan thought for a while, and then said, "Then, suppose, I mean, suppose they are still alive, and they object to us being together, what would you do?"

Su Mo was silent for a while, then said firmly, "I will prove to them that my decision is right. My parents have always respected my opinions and decisions."

"Then suppose they are against it and insist on us being separated?" Lu Yan continued.

Su Mo smiled, "There is no such assumption at all. But if you must have an answer, then my answer is no. Unless it is your request, no one can let me leave you."

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes happily, saying that I knew it.

"What about you, what would you do if someone asked you to leave me?" Su Mo also asked politely.

Lu Yan stared into his eyes and said word by word, "No one can influence my decision, not even my parents. No one can change what I decide except myself."

Su Mo lowered his eyes, then raised his head, looked at him seriously and said, "Then I hope that your decision is to stay with me forever."

"Exactly!" Lu Yan smiled brightly.

It was still early when we arrived at the Su family's old house, so Su Mo took Lu Yan to visit around.

It was the first time for Lu Yan to come to the Su family's old house. The area here is very large. There is a large courtyard in front with beautifully manicured flowers and plants. There is also a large bamboo forest in the back. I believe, when spring and summer, it must be a beautiful scenery. According to Su Mo, this bamboo forest was planted by his father for his mother, because his mother's favorite plant in her life was bamboo.

The main building is a three-storey villa, which is not high, but occupies an equally large area. The first floor is the dining room and living room; the second floor is the master's bedroom and study. There are three bedrooms, one for Su Mo's parents. Although they are no longer there, the brothers still leave the room untouched. They are cleaned every day by a special person, and they haven't moved a single piece of furniture in it, as if the owner will come back at any time. Live in general. The other two are naturally the bedrooms of brothers Su Jue and Su Mo. There are also two study rooms; the third floor is a guest room plus a maid room.

There are not many servants in the Su family. An Aunt Fang basically performs the duties of a cook and a housekeeper; a driver is basically Aunt Fang's exclusive driver now; a gardener is responsible for taking care of all the plants in the old house. , is an elderly man, but he is very energetic, and his work is not worse than that of young people; in addition, there are three aunts who help, mainly responsible for cleaning and occasionally helping aunt Fang.

The population of the Su family is simple, and the personnel affairs are not complicated. In addition, there is no hostess at home, and the two young masters are often not at home. Basically, Aunt Fang has the final say on some trivial matters.

Aunt Fang is the old man of the Su family, and she has been with Su Mo's parents since she was a girl. Later, they also got married, and the relationship between the husband and wife was very good. Unfortunately, her husband was short-lived and passed away very early, so Aunt Fang returned to the Su family again. Originally, Su Mo's parents planned to let her remarry, but she didn't have that thought. Later, after the two young masters were born, she loved her so much, she took care of the two children wholeheartedly, and never wanted to marry again, she cried when she mentioned it, saying if the two masters didn't want her anymore and wanted to let her go, Later, Su Mo's parents didn't dare to mention it again. In this way, Aunt Fang stayed in the Su family all the time. She watched Su Mo and Su Jue grow up. They were called master and servant, and they were really relatives. Especially after Su Mo's parents passed away, there was a feeling of being dependent on each other. .

Aunt Fang and Lu Yan have long been familiar with each other. When he knew that Lu Yan would come back with Su Mo for the reunion dinner, he was very happy. I put incense to Su Mo's parents early, and told them that the eldest young master has finally found a company, and he will not be alone in the future. Thank goodness Mr. Lu is also a very good person. They are a natural pair. Spirits must bless them.

The Su family is open-minded, and Aunt Fang is also very open-minded. Coupled with these years of contact with the Internet, under the influence of my ears and eyes, I have long accepted the matter of men and men. She feels that as long as two people truly love each other and are suitable for each other, gender is not important. As for reproduction, since technology is so advanced anyway, surrogacy is not easy.

When Lu Yan arrived, Aunt Fang didn't have time to greet him. She is busy preparing food for New Year's Eve tonight.

The previous generation of the Su family, that is, Su Mo's father, had five siblings. Su Mo's father came in second, with an older brother above him, two younger brothers and a younger sister below. Except for Su Mo's parents, everyone else is still alive, plus those cousins, there are almost 20 people in total, so there is naturally a lot of food to prepare.

The ancestors of the Su family started from scratch and created the original Su Group, which was passed down to Su Mo's father and was the third generation. Although the Su family is independent, it still retains the patriarch system. The patriarch of each generation is designated by the previous generation. The old mansion of the Su family was handed over to the patriarch, who was also the president of the Su Group. He owned more than 50% of the shares and had absolute right to speak.

Perhaps in the modern society, this system of the Su family is very backward, but I don't know why, the Su family is blessed by nature, every generation has a genius born, and can pass on the Su family well. It is precisely because of this system that other family members are prevented from pointing fingers, so that the Su family leader will not be subject to the elders and can act better. And each generation of the Su family patriarch has also shouldered the responsibility of the Everbright Su family very well. Anyway, when it was passed on to Su Mo, the Su Group's industry had grown several times since the beginning.

The second person to arrive was Su Jue. He was not surprised to see Lu Yan chatting with Su Mo in the living room when he entered the house. He had long known that Lu Yan would also come today. And he is more aware of the significance of Lu Yan's presence here today, because only the Su family can enter the Su family's old house. Over the years, no matter how many boyfriends and girlfriends Su Jue has made, he has never brought anyone into the old house. Today, Su Mo brought Lu Yan, which meant that their relationship had to be made public and confirmed.

Su Jue sighed silently in his heart. At the beginning, he was still worried about whether his eldest brother was going to be single to the end, but he didn't expect that he would hit the home plate as soon as he made a shot. On the contrary, it was me. Over the years, so many people came and went, but none of them could make me settle down. So, eldest brother is worthy of being a eldest brother, in any aspect, he is beyond his own ability.

Su Jue and Lu Yan were also old acquaintances. Last time at Ms. Fang's charity dinner, Su Jue took the initiative to help Lu Yan out of the siege, and Lu Yan told Su Mo as a joke afterwards. After listening to Su Mo, he only said something meaningful. He treats you as a family member, so he maintains it everywhere. Lu Yan recalled that when Ke Yuzhuo framed him last time, it was Su Jue who took the initiative to help him, otherwise he didn't know how things would end. Thinking about it this way, those little quarrels were really irrelevant, they were already a family.

At this time, Aunt Fang came out and asked Su Mo to see if the dishes for tonight's family banquet were ready. Su Mo told Lu Yan and asked him to chat with Su Jue. He followed Aunt Fang into the kitchen.

The two of them had a common topic, and when they started talking, Lu Yan found that Su Jue was quite interesting. He could see through many things and have his own ideas. Also, over the years, Su Mo has always handed over the starry sky to Su Jue. It can be said that in recent years, apart from Lu Yan's affairs, Su Mo has not intervened in Starry Sky's affairs, and it is Su Jue who is making decisions. And Starry Sky can develop better and better, which means that Su Jue is really doing something and doing it well.

The two were chatting happily when a harsh voice suddenly came, "Su Jue, when did you not know the rules so much and brought your little love here. You didn't forget that today is a family banquet. , not all messy people can get on the table."
