Choose a day to become famous

For some people, you need time to know their true colors.

But for some people, you only need one meeting to know that they are not the one you like.

Lu Yanhe didn't like the "arrogant" air that Yang Zhoujin subtly revealed.

In fact, Lu Yanhe is very clear that in China, in the eyes of some so-called "powerful and wealthy", celebrity artists are just actors.

Even with the development of the times, the assets behind the top-tier celebrity artists are far more than some so-called wealthy people, but some old concepts are still deeply rooted in some people's bones.

Lu Yanhe had never met such a person, let alone someone who expressed such an attitude to him in person. However, he had heard a lot about them. In fact, he had also heard Yan Liang say that he had met one.

Li Zhibaijia himself owns a large group. Even though he has made being an artist his main job, others will not regard him as a pure artist.

Although he did not have such a family background, since he passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to Zhenhua University, with this golden body, no one would belittle him as an actor in front of him. When he started to be a screenwriter and produce film and television dramas, no one did so.

Only Yan Liang, in the eyes of these people, really has no background at all.

He is popular, famous, and his starring works have been popular, and he has also gained fame overseas. However, he is still just an actor, at most a relatively popular actor.

Therefore, on some occasions, some people directly expressed "disdain" and "contempt" towards Yan Liang.

Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai had never encountered these things, but Yan Liang had.

Some of these people can act a little but don't show it too much, while some are like Yang Zhoujin and don't even act.

He simply ignored everyone else present and went straight to Lu Yanhe, as if Lu Yanhe was the only one present who was worthy of sitting down with him for dinner.

How could Lu Yanhe give him this face?

People who are familiar with Lu Yanhe actually know that this is the kind of people Lu Yanhe hates the most.

-

"I don't know why Zhan Yun likes him."

After Yang Zhoujin left, Yan Liang sighed softly.

He smiled, looked at Lu Yanhe, and asked, "Although Yang Zhoujin's family is not in the entertainment industry, he is still a well-known rich second-generation. You are so disrespectful to him, who knows how he is cursing you in his heart."

"You can scold me as much as you want. If I still care about scolding me for not agreeing to have dinner with you, I will never be able to handle it even if I die. There are so many people who want to have dinner with me." Lu Yanhe shrugged. "If he wasn't Zhan Yun's boyfriend, I wouldn't even bother to give him face by pretending to be nice. At least I found a reason."

"This kind of person was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He probably has no shortage of female celebrities throwing themselves at him." Yan Liang said, "In the eyes of this kind of person, the entertainment industry is probably just a place of fame and fortune."

"Of course, it's very possible." Lu Yanhe nodded. "So, I think the work is the hard truth. This statement is absolutely correct. As long as you have a well-known work, no one can ride on your neck and look down on you. Otherwise, sometimes when faced with the contempt of this person, you really don't have the confidence to contempt back."

Yan Liang suddenly nudged Lu Yanhe with his elbow.

"Look."

Yan Liang signaled Lu Yanhe to go see Yin Xincheng.

The latter was sitting in his chair, in a daze.

Normally Yin Xincheng is quite lively. He is full of energy and has nowhere to vent it. On the set, it is rare to see him sitting alone in a daze.

"He must have been hit hard," Yan Liang said.

Yan Liang had said before that he felt Yin Xincheng liked Zhan Yun.

The so-called shock probably means that Yin Xincheng met Yang Zhoujin and felt that he was no match for the latter, so he was a little shocked?

Lu Yanhe thought, Yin Xincheng’s acting shouldn’t be affected, right?

The unstable factor last season was Yin Xincheng, who disappeared because his girlfriend broke up with him.

Although it is not nice to say this, people with a criminal record are indeed more likely to make people worry, just like worrying about the recurrence of an old illness.

Out of trust in Yin Xincheng and also because he didn't want Yin Xincheng to feel that he didn't trust him, despite the worries in his heart, at this moment, Lu Yanhe said nothing and did nothing.

-

Fortunately, during the formal shooting process, Yin Xincheng did not show any problems.

During the filming, everyone still laughed and did NGs from time to time, but the overall atmosphere was very comfortable.

However, for some unknown reason, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning Yang Zhoujin.

Not only did Lu Yanhe not mention it, but those girls didn't mention it either.

Including Zhan Yun.

-

When December came, the snow began to fall, bringing everyone into the real winter.

One third of the second season of "The Seventeenth Floor" has been aired.

The reputation and feedback of this season have declined slightly compared to the first season.

There is no way to avoid this. Nine out of ten sequels are not as popular as their predecessors.

The second season of "The Seventeenth Floor" has been able to maintain its reputation and not let people think it's bad, which is an excellent job.

During the promotion of this drama, Chen Ziyan did not do any publicity and marketing for Lu Yanhe. The main reason was that Lu Yanhe had been exposed all the time in recent times. The popularity of the drama "Seventeenth Floor" itself and Lu Yanhe's own star effect have kept his topic at a high level of exposure. There was no need for additional publicity and marketing.

Lu Yanhe is no longer a young actor on the rise and needs additional, planned, big exposure to promote his career.

In fact, throughout the promotion of the second season of "Seventeen Floors", Jingtai's promotional focus was not on Lu Yanhe - Lu Yanhe understood this, after all, he hardly cooperated with Jingtai in publicity.

The return of Li Yuefeng is a major highlight of the second season of "The Seventeenth Floor", but it is also a major complaint. Because the setting of resurrecting twins in the sequel has long been used, and Li Yuefeng's character arc in the first season was as good as his desire to cause trouble for the protagonists in the second season because of "revenge", which made the audience hate him.

However, as the truth is slowly revealed in the later stages, when the audience learns that Li Yuefeng had reached an agreement with the protagonists from the very beginning to deceive the game designers by "pretending to be in opposition" in order to fight against the masterminds behind these deadly games, there will be a big change for both his role and for him.

Chen Ziyan said: "The arc of Li Yuefeng's character is actually much better than yours. Your character is still relatively stereotyped, and the transformation is not big enough. Unlike Li Yuefeng, even though the show hasn't aired yet, I can roughly guess what the rhythm of his subsequent promotion will be."

Lu Yanhe nodded: "It would be great if he could make further progress through the second season of "Seventeenth Floor"."

Li Yuefeng's ambition and his willingness to fight and work hard made Lu Yanhe respect him very much. He was also willing to let Li Yuefeng get a bigger share of the publicity dividends than him when he didn't want the extra exposure.

Originally, everything was fine, until Beijing and Taiwan were discussing the performance contract for the third season with Lu Yanhe. When they were promoting the show, Beijing and Taiwan revealed a piece of news -

Chen Pinhe's character will appear in the third season, warming up for the spin-off series with him as the protagonist.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan could not sign the contract immediately.

-

"Are you not satisfied with the pay?" Jiang Lan called Chen Ziyan immediately after hearing that Lu Yanhe had encountered difficulties in signing the contract.

Chen Ziyan said: "It's not about the pay. If you want to develop a spin-off series, there's nothing wrong with that. However, letting the male lead of the spin-off series start from the third season ruins the original vision of the third season. We don't want to see a character added to the script of the third season so abruptly."

Jiang Lan was stunned. She had never expected this to be the question.

Chen Ziyan continued, "Season 3 is the final season. This story has a very complete setting from the beginning. Jiang Tai and Yan He are willing to continue to star in Season 3 because of their trust in Director Lian Bei and their professional ethics as actors who want to fully complete a role. But if you don't care about the integrity of the story and want to destroy the original setting of the script in order to develop a spin-off series, then there is no need for us to continue to star in it. What do you think?"

Jiang Lan had never expected that a character in a spin-off drama starring Chen Pinhe would appear in the third season of "Seventeenth Floor" and would arouse such strong opposition from Lu Yanhe.

But Jiang Lan didn't think of anything else.

Lu Yanhe is famous for his high requirements for scripts.

A few days ago, Lu Yanhe became a hot topic because he did not cast the popular first-line actor Li Yuefeng who was interested in starring in "Rouge", but instead chose a little-known drama actor Yang Shiyi.

Jiang Lan didn't think about it, and really thought that Lu Yanhe didn't want to see the script of the third season being ruined.

She quickly brought the synopsis of the third season's script to the crew of "Friends", wanting to discuss the matter with him in person.

She wanted to tell Lu Yanhe that even if Chen Pinhe's character was given a role in the third season, it wouldn't be many, just a few shots to warm up for the spin-off series, and it would definitely not destroy the integrity of the series itself.

Lu Yanhe still shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, let me give you an example. The male lead of the spin-off series you invited is Chen Pinhe. Even if it's just a few shots, as long as he appears, the focus will be on him." Lu Yanhe said, "This will greatly destroy the aura of the protagonists of "The Seventeenth Floor". This is different from a cameo. As soon as everyone sees his character, it will be very clear that, well, although this story is over, it is not over yet and will continue to be filmed. At least in the world view of "The Seventeenth Floor", the integrity of our story will be destroyed."

Jiang Lan was a little depressed because she found that she couldn't quite understand what Lu Yanhe was saying.

However, Lu Yanhe's brilliant past achievements made Jiang Lan subconsciously think whether it was her problem if she didn't understand what Lu Yanhe was saying.

-

In fact, Lu Yanhe also knew how ridiculous the reason he gave was.

But this was the most plausible reason he and Chen Ziyan could find.

All in all, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan reached a unanimous consensus that they would not act in the third season of "Seventeen Floors" with Chen Pinhe.

The two people are actually thinking about the same things.

No one knows what kind of trouble will happen if he and Chen Pinhe act in a play together, especially a Beijing or Taiwan play.

Judging from their previous fights, once they really fight, no one will stop.

What if we have to be in the same frame?

Once you start working together, this may be unavoidable.

After the cooperation, there are too many unpredictable things and it is difficult to estimate what the impact will be.

Lu Yanhe could only use this reason to refuse to appear in the third season with Chen Pinhe.

-

Jiang Lan was puzzled and after returning home, she found it even more outrageous.

For the sake of the integrity of a work, even the male lead of the spin-off series can't show up a few times?

In the film and television industry, whether it is movies or TV series, this is a very common practice.

Jiang Lan vaguely felt that something was wrong.

She had dealt with Lu Yanhe so many times before, and she had never felt that Lu Yanhe had any paranoid obsession in this regard.

"Could it be that Lu Yanhe doesn't want to act in the third season, so he deliberately uses this as an excuse to withdraw?"

When she was discussing this matter with the station director Shen Tailin, she put forward her own ideas.

Shen Tailin smiled in a cryptic way, and then said, "If you ask Chen Pinhe to appear in the third season of "Seventeen Floors", it would be strange if Lu Yanhe could act."

"Ah?" Jiang Lan naturally understood what Shen Tailin meant and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a conflict between Lu Yanhe and Chen Pinhe? I haven't heard of it before."

Shen Tailin said, "Contradiction? Haha, you can understand it this way. If you want Lu Yanhe to act in the third season, then give up the idea of ​​letting Chen Pinhe appear in the third season. Let me tell you this, Lu Yanhe will definitely not act in this drama with Chen Pinhe."

Jiang Lan was really strange.

Why did Shen Tailin say that?

It is obvious that Lu Yanhe and Chen Pinhe have never worked together before, so where did the conflict between them come from?

Jiang Lan had no choice but to find out from her own information channels what the feud between Lu Yanhe and Chen Pinhe was about.

A friend who works in the media industry said, "You don't know this? Previously, Chen Pinhe was cast as the male lead in the movie "Doomsday," but later Chen Pinhe refused to act for some reason, and the movie was taken over by Jiang Jun. Don't you remember who the third-ranked producer of this movie was?"

Jiang Lan suddenly realized.

"Jiang Jun was able to get this movie because of Lu Yanhe's help behind the scenes," said the friend. "I even heard a version, but I can't guarantee whether it's true or not. It is said that the director of "Doomsday", Lune Reese, wanted Lu Yanhe as the male lead at first, but the Parameter executives chose Chen Pinhe. Anyway, the two of them must have fought each other a long time ago, but it was not made public."

Jiang Lan: "I understand."

She was helpless.

She called Chen Ziyan.

"Yan He and Chen Pin He have a feud, just tell me directly." Jiang Lan said, "If I hadn't heard about "Doomsday" from a friend, I wouldn't have known that you two sides had a feud. If I had known, I wouldn't have suggested that Chen Pin He come to guest star in the third season."

Chen Ziyan was confused when she received the call, and then she realized, could the "Doomsday" thing be used in this way?

Wait, so, can the conflict between Lu Yanhe and Chen Pinhe be justified?

The thing that had troubled Chen Ziyan the most before was the relationship between Lu Yanhe and Chen Pinhe on stage. Neither of them wanted to make their true relationship public, but it was an indisputable fact that the two of them couldn't even act together. Many things would seem strange to outsiders.

For example, in the third season of "Seventeenth Floor", Lu Yanhe refused to act, and he couldn't explain why he didn't want to act, so he could only find a ridiculous reason to justify it.

Chen Ziyan coughed lightly and said, "It's not easy to talk about this directly. Besides, Chen Pinhe was really dishonest in this matter. Lu Nei's original choice was Lu Yanhe, but Chen Pinhe somehow managed to make Parameter choose him. It's fine if they competed domestically, but now they're overseas, they're trying to snatch the role."

Jiang Lan sighed, "Now that you put it that way, I can understand why you guys were so adamant about not wanting to act in the third season of "The Seventeenth Floor" with Chen Pinhe."

Chen Ziyan: "You know, Chen Pinhe is a senior, and we can't really say anything bad and blame him."

"Yes." Jiang Lan said, "I understand. I will not let Chen Pinhe's role appear in the third season. Yan He should continue to fulfill his contract."

"Now that we've talked about it, fine. We need to add a clause to the contract for the third season."

"What terms?" Jiang Lan asked.

"The clause that Chen Pinhe cannot act in this drama." Chen Ziyan said.

Jiang Lan took a deep breath.

"All right."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lan shook her head.

“These stars are so difficult to deal with.”

Then, Jiang Lan suddenly realized something.

Chen Pinhe snatched the role from Lu Yanhe. Lu Yanhe did not take the role back, but directly became the producer and let Jiang Jun get the role.

This is much more difficult than if he directly grabbed the role.

At this moment, Jiang Lan suddenly wanted to know how Lu Yanhe did it.

Chen Ziyan told Lu Yanhe about this matter as soon as possible.

"This is completely beyond my expectations. Inexplicably, Jiang Lan took the "Doomsday" incident as the reason why you didn't want to act in the third season with Chen Pinhe." Chen Ziyan said seriously, "But this incident has inspired me. In the future, we can use this incident as an excuse to refuse to cooperate with Chen Pinhe."

After listening to what Chen Ziyan said, Lu Yanhe thought about it and said, "Okay, no problem."

"It's just that this may have some impact on your reputation in the industry, because it's normal for actors to snatch roles from each other, especially when nothing is decided yet. If you keep holding on to this matter, it will seem like you're too fussy. Of course, there are many actors who hold on to the fact that their roles were snatched away and refuse to let it go for the rest of their lives." Chen Ziyan said, "Anyway, this is the situation, let me make it clear to you first."

"Yes." Lu Yanhe said, "I understand, Sister Zi Yan, I think this is good."

"Okay, then we'll use this as an excuse from now on." Chen Ziyan sighed, "I am relieved. I finally don't have to scratch my head and think of excuses every time."

Lu Yanhe laughed, "It's hard for you, Sister Ziyan."

"It's really hard for me, and I'm not exaggerating." Chen Ziyan said confidently, "Fortunately, Lu Qingzhen is here to help me think."

"Does Sister Qingzhen also know about the situation between me and Chen Pinhe?"

"She doesn't know." Chen Ziyan said, "I just need to tell her that I don't want you to cooperate with Chen Pinhe. She won't ask why, but will help me think of reasons. This is the tacit understanding between her and I over the years of knowing each other."

"You have a really good relationship with Sister Qingzhen."

"Of course you have friends like Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, and I also have friends like Lu Qingzhen." Chen Ziyan said.

Lu Yanhe laughed.

-

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that this matter soon reached Chen Bige's ears.

Chen Bige was very surprised and called Lu Yanhe and asked, "Is there a conflict between you and Chen Pinhe?"

Lu Yanhe: "Yes, Sister Bi Ge, where did you hear this from?"

"I heard from my agent, because I heard that there was a problem when you were negotiating the contract for the third season with Jingtai." Chen Bige asked, "Why do you have such a big conflict with Chen Pinhe? You don't even want to work with him anymore. Do you need me to mediate?"

"No need." Lu Yanhe refused directly, "Sister Bi Ge, it's okay. This is between him and me, don't worry about it."

Chen Bige: "Okay then."

Chen Bi Ge then said, "Then he's going to star in a spin-off of 'The Seventeenth Floor'. Wouldn't you be very depressed?"

"I can't say I'm depressed, but I'm really unhappy." Lu Yanhe said frankly, "But there's nothing I can do. The copyright of "Seventeenth Floor" is no longer in my hands, and I don't want to continue acting in this series."

What he meant was that if the copyright was in his hands, or if he planned to continue to star in the film, he would never let Chen Pinhe set foot in this series.

Chen Bige was silent for a moment after hearing this and asked, "What is the reason for the deep conflict between you and him? Is it because of the movie "Doomsday"?"

"Anyway, let's just talk about those things." Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Bi Ge, it's okay. As I said before, this is a matter between him and me. Don't let it affect your relationship and cooperation with him."

Chen Bige: "Cooperation? Then I don't want to cooperate with him either."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned. "Why?"

Chen Bige said: "He seems to be a good man on the surface, but he has cheated on me many times. When I worked with him before, I even happened to see him and his assistant enter his room late at night."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"I had just debuted at that time." Chen Bige said, "Although I can't be considered a chaste heroine, at least I never cheat on others and don't play two women at the same time. You know how disgusting he is. He was even photographed once and insisted that the person was his cousin and that they grew up together, so they were more intimate. But I know that was not the case at all."

Lu Yanhe opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

At a certain moment, he even wanted to ask Chen Bige, who was the assistant you met.

But he stopped talking immediately.

Lu Yanhe is already 23 years old, and Chen Bige is less than 36 years old this year. Even if she debuted earlier, the person she met was definitely not his mother. Lu Yanhe knew that Chen Bige did not debut as a child star.

Despite this, at this moment, Lu Yanhe still felt very upset and had an inexplicable discomfort.

He was afraid of revealing his identity in front of Chen Bige and being discovered by her, so he immediately made an excuse, saying that he had to go filming, and hung up the phone.

He sat in the chair, feeling bewildered for a few seconds, then slowly calmed down and regained his senses.

It's nothing, this should have been thought of long ago.

Very normal.

nothing.

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath. (End of this chapter)
