Chapter 136 The Speed of Progress
"You authorized Song Linxin, why didn't you tell me?!" Zhou Pingan asked Lu Yanhe angrily, his voice so loud that it almost shattered the phone.
Lu Yanhe said calmly: "This is a song I wrote and composed myself. The copyright belongs to me. I authorize others to cover it without the company's consent."
Zhou Ping An: "I am also your agent now!"
"Then why haven't you told me until now that director Luo Yuzhong had taken a fancy to me and asked me to star in "The Golden Age"?" Lu Yanhe asked .
Zhou Pingan seemed to have something stuffed in his mouth and couldn't make a sound.
"Brother Ping'an, I still call you "Brother" because I hope you will stop as soon as you see fit. Now that we have signed the termination agreement, you are still deliberately obstructing my acting behind my back and disturbing myself. Why do you think I will listen to you if you have the opportunity?"
Lu Yanhe sneered.
“There are less than nine months left before I terminate my contract with the company. I hope that if you find me a job again in the next time, you can handle it normally. Otherwise, I will have nothing. I’ve always been barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.”
For the first time, Zhou Ping’an found that he couldn’t compete with Lu Yanhe.
The angrier he gets, the less able he is to deal with it.
“Lu Yanhe, who do you think you are? I——”
“Brother Ping’an, let me emphasize again, I know that we have completely broken up. After the contract is terminated, it should even be We’ve been together forever, but now, I haven’t terminated the contract, and you are still my agent in name.” Lu Yanhe said, “If you don’t want me to find you. Let the media talk about how you treated me in the past few years and how you forced me to terminate my contract. Then you should do your job normally."
"You dare!"
“Why don’t I dare?” Lu Yanhe asked seriously and innocently, “Brother Ping An, can you tell me, is there any reason why I don’t dare?”
-
At this moment, after enduring it for almost two months, Lu Yanhe really fought back for the first time. Without thinking about any words, he just threatened Zhou Ping'an with the most indifferent tone.
After these words actually came out of his mouth, Lu Yanhe realized that it was much better to say some things than to keep them in his heart.
But only by saying it now will Zhou Pingan be truly threatened.
I don’t know how angry Zhou Pingan will be after hanging up the phone, but who asked him to sign the termination agreement first?
In the hands of Zhou Pingan, it is a guarantee to ensure that Lu Yanhe terminates the contract, but in the hands of Lu Yanhe, is it not evidence that Zhou Pingan forces Lu Yanhe to terminate the contract?
If Lu Yanhe is just a little artist that no one cares about, then this matter will not cause any splash.
But now Lu Yanhe is somewhat famous and popular, and has a live broadcast room with an average daily audience of about 2,000 viewers.
Well, one month later, the average daily number of viewers in Lu Yanhe’s live broadcast room has reached 2,000.
It has doubled.
Almost all of them came here because of their reputation - to study with Lu Yanhe's live learning studio.
Lu Yanhe himself was shocked. He did not expect that this learning live broadcast room would become "famous" as it was broadcasted.
Even Li Pengfei said: "Lao Lu, your state has been completely different recently from before. Your eyes are so majestic and high-spirited."
Lu Yanhe was told by him I couldn’t laugh or cry.
Lu Yanhe is indeed in a good mood.
Then, in early November, the third monthly exam came.
Lu Yanhe performed steadily and improved to the 194th place in his grade. The improvement rate became smaller. This was the result of his own deliberate control. In the first half of the period, the improvement rate was still so large, which was not consistent with common sense. Pay attention to the effect of accumulation and accumulation, and everyone will be more accepting of it.
And Li Pengfei also made a small progress and reached the 329th place in his grade.
Linyu, who was ranked first in grade last time, fell to third grade this time, and her grades fluctuated within the normal range. Liu Qin only told her that this kind of fluctuation was normal. At this stage, the key is Keep performing and keep your mentality.
The one who failed to stabilize his mentality was Xu Zijun.
This top student, who has always been in the top 20 in his grade, fell to the 62nd place in his grade this time.
The whole class was shocked.
Liu Qin felt strange. I thought that Xu Zijun's last monthly exam results would be affected. After all, so many things happened. But last time, Xu Zijun performed very steadily and ranked 19th in grade. He was not affected at all. Liu Qin thought that Xu Zijun was stable, but not Thinking of this big step back.
No one dared to talk to Xu Zijun.
After Xu Zijun saw his results, his face turned pale for a moment, and he returned to his seat silently, never raising his head again.
Examinations are always like this. Some people make progress while others regress. While Xu Zijun failed, Chu Saiying uncharacteristically entered the top 30 in her grade and got 29th place. It was the first time she had achieved this ranking.
It’s just that his progress is not very popular.
Xu Zijun has greatly regressed, but he has made great progress. Even if this is all a matter of human mentality, human sensibility is always biased.
Liu Qin said to Lu Yanhe privately: "Work hard. If you keep doing this, you have a great chance of passing the exam."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
In fact, according to his estimate of his true level, he had already reached around tenth place in his grade.
His three subjects besides language and mathematics are at the first level in the whole grade, especially mathematics. As long as the last question of the last big question is not so abnormal, a perfect score is possible.
What he lacks is the liberal arts and comprehensive subjects.
This made him regret that he had not switched from liberal arts to science in order to avoid making others suspicious.
When I first crossed over, I was unfamiliar with everything and was as cautious as a dog.
After all, in my second year of high school, I was divided into liberal arts and sciences. It was so confusing to switch to science in my third year of high school.
Lu Yanhe carefully analyzed his three subjects. In fact, the place where he lost points was that his foundation was not solid.
There is no way, it has only been two months, and the fact that he can reach this level is the result of his best efforts.
There are still eight months to go, and he believes he can catch up.
There is a trick to learning. If you don’t find the trick, you can only work hard.
Lu Yanhe spent most of his evening self-study time on the three liberal arts and comprehensive subjects every night, spending a lot of time on improving his foundation.
Then, he also started searching for online courses. Many masters on the Internet would record videos and explain some key knowledge points. Thanks to this era, as long as you want to learn, there are many convenient conditions.
The audience in the live broadcast room learned from the students of No. 13 Middle School that Lu Yanhe had entered the top 200 of his grade. They were all shocked by Lu Yanhe's progress.
Three exams, from the top 500 in the grade to the top 200, this is really a bit exaggerated.
-
This suddenly reminded Lu Yanhe of a movie. When he was a sophomore in high school, his class teacher played a Japanese movie called "Bottom Hot Girl" during two evening self-study periods in his class.
This movie tells the story of a Japanese female high school student who took one year to get admitted to Keio University. At that time, Lu Yanhe was a student who believed that learning should be accumulated over time. He was not interested in such inspirational stories and felt that This is completely a movie-style fictional youth inspiration.
Until the movie was finished, their class teacher told them that it was adapted from a real person.
"Human potential is endless, never think it is too late, as long as you are willing to start."
This is what their class teacher said at that time, and Lu Yanhe still remembers it till now. .
It was not so much the movie that touched Lu Yanhe so much as the words of the class teacher.
Lu Yanhe believes that he can do it. He can learn Chinese and mathematics well, so why can't he learn politics, history and geography?
In November, independent enrollment in major colleges and universities also began one after another.
Lu Yanhe did not need to participate, but the atmosphere in the class was affected by it.
Every week, students ask for leave to take the preliminary examination for independent enrollment, and then there are re-examinations and even the third examination.
Some people passed the first test, and some were rejected in the first test. The different results brought about an atmosphere called cruelty.
Everyone has felt the atmosphere in advance after the college entrance examination results come out next June.
Zheng Meiqi had the qualifications to be recommended for self-recruitment by two universities, but in the end she was eliminated one after another. When she came to school, her eyes were swollen and she probably cried all night.
Linyu passed the preliminary examination of Qinghe University’s independent enrollment. The re-examination was at the end of December, and another university was also eliminated in the preliminary examination.
On the contrary, it was Chen Yi who passed the preliminary examination at both Fujiao and Renshi universities.
The two schools that Chen Qin applied for were the last to hold preliminary examinations. When he came back from the preliminary examination, it was already the end of November and he was wearing a thick down jacket.
“It’s really too cold in the north, it’s snowing.” He said.
Chen Qin applied for Qinghe and Renshi, but Qinghe was eliminated and Renshi passed the preliminary examination.
Everyone’s situation is different, and everyone’s life destiny is quietly changing.
Lu Yanhe stayed out of the matter, but felt an inexplicable sense of time pushing him back.
I don’t know when it started, time suddenly started to fly very fast.
Too many things happened in September, which made October and November seem lackluster.
However, lacklusterness is the normal life of senior high school students.
On the other hand, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are busy at work.
Yan Liang is about to take the art exam, and is arranged by Zhou Pingan to perform two commercial performances a week.
In November, various year-end activities are coming, including promotions, company performances, celebrations, etc.
It was rare for Lu Yanhe to meet them.
Then, at this moment, Qiuling came with another banner.
This time, Lu Yanhe did not receive the news in advance.
Qiuling said: "More than two months ago, a very vicious case occurred in our city. Due to confidentiality regulations, I cannot tell you what the specific situation was. However, because the one you sent The USB flash drive helped us solve this case and capture the relevant suspects. Without the USB flash drive you sent us, we would not have known that such vicious incidents had occurred in our city. Therefore, this is issued on behalf of our city bureau. I will give you the banner of bravery for the second time.”
Lu Yanhe once again accepted the second banner in his life with a confused expression on behalf of his teachers and classmates.
Principal Song smiled widely.
Another brave act of justice! This is not only the honor of Lu Yanhe, but also the honor of No. 13 Middle School! The students of No. 13 Middle School are well trained!
Lu Yanhe’s second meeting with a hero for justice was officially reported, and he once again made social news.
Lu Yanhe was surprised that no one notified his agency this time.
After the banner awarding ceremony, he asked Qiu Ling in a low voice, and Qiu Ling said: "What's the notice? Anyway, they are all companies that are about to terminate the contract."
Lu Yanhe immediately reacted. This was the last time Qiu Ling heard After talking about what happened between him and Zhou Pingan, he deliberately didn't notify him.
“Thank you, Sister Qiuling.” Lu Yanhe said.
Qiu Ling laughed.
"I just chatted with your class teacher. You have made great progress recently." Qiu Ling said.
"Well, it's not bad." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Anyway, I have put in a lot of effort in studying."
Qiu Ling: "You should work so hard. If you do well in the exam, you will benefit. It’s you too.”
This time the director didn’t come, it was Qiu Ling who was the police representative.
In the evening, Lu Yanhe finished his self-study and was about to return to his dormitory when he met Zhou Pingan at the school gate.
He seemed to be waiting for him at the school gate.
It was a cold day and the wind was blowing fiercely. I don't know how long he stood here alone.
Lu Yanhe looked at him in surprise.
“Let’s talk,” he said.
Lu Yanhe walked over.
"It's windy outside. Come and talk in my car. I'll take you back by the way." He said.
Lu Yanhe nodded and followed Zhou Pingan into the car.
It was rare that Lu Yanhe got into Zhou Pingan's car again.
With the relationship between the two of them, he thought he would never be able to sit down again.
The heater is on in the car.
Zhou Pingan opened a window to avoid stuffiness in the car.
"We had some unpleasant troubles before, I know." Zhou Ping'an said.
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, it was more than a little unpleasant.
He listened silently and did not respond.
“I admit that I am not a good agent for you, but I haven’t done much harm to you either. You have to admit it, right?”
Lu Yanhe: "..."
If it means that he was not drugged and sent to someone's bed, or that he was tricked into owing millions and tens of millions, that's true.
But what’s the point of saying this now?
Zhou Ping'an said: "I actually have no other ideas. You have guessed it yourself. Someone wants you to leave the entertainment industry, so they have reached out to our company. I don't know who it is, and I also heard that The superiors ordered you to do things, so I blocked you from many opportunities. This is a fact."
"In the past two months, you have been doing your best. He became famous, was named and praised by the officials, and got another banner today, although he doesn’t know why.” Zhou Ping’an said with a self-deprecating smile, “To be honest, if it wasn’t for the unpleasantness in the past, With the abilities and qualities you have shown now, I will definitely manage you well and promote you to the position of a first-line star.”
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, if you say this now, I won't believe it.
He roughly guessed that Zhou Ping'an came to him today. On the one hand, it was related to the harsh words and threats he had given him before, and on the other hand, it was also related to today's second banner. Being commended by an official once again gave him another layer of gold. If he really jumped out to accuse Zhou Pingan at this time, Zhou Pingan would definitely become the target of public condemnation.
"Brother Ping'an, it's too late to say this now. Our termination agreement has been signed." Lu Yanhe said with a chuckle.
Zhou Pingan silently glanced at Lu Yanhe sitting in the passenger seat from the rearview mirror.
In just a few months, this young man had become somewhat unrecognizable to him.
The night was blurry, and the light and shadow of the street lights kept changing on them as the car drove, switching the boundary between light and darkness.
"Before you terminate the contract, I will help you take on a few jobs." Zhou Ping'an said, "This can be regarded as compensation for my mistreatment of you before."
Lu Yanhe listened. Only after saying this did he cheer up a little.
The topic is finally here.
Zhou Pingan said: "First, I contacted the crew of "Golden Age" today. As long as they are still willing to sign you, I will help you negotiate a starring contract and will no longer require additional conditions."
He didn't know that Lu Yanhe had already settled the matter privately.
But if he could sign the contract earlier, he would avoid long nights and dreams. Of course, Lu Yanhe would not refuse.
"Second, before you terminate the contract with the company, I will help you take on two more dramas, within five times." Zhou Pingan said, "I know you want to stay in the entertainment industry, but in After you terminate the contract, from my understanding, someone will definitely prevent you from returning to the entertainment industry. These two dramas can help you transition during this period. "
This condition is somewhat good.
Lu Yanhe silently made a tick in his heart.
"Third, if you are willing, I can also help you get some business cooperation and let you make some money. In this way, after you terminate the contract, you will have enough money to go to college without taking out a loan."
There is one. To put it bluntly, Zhou Ping'an knew Lu Yanhe very well and knew what Lu Yanhe cared about.
The conditions he proposed are exactly what Lu Yanhe is most concerned about and cares about now.
He seemed to have an insight into what Lu Yanhe was thinking.
Lu Yanhe said: "Brother Ping An has always known what I want."
Zhou Ping'an couldn't help but frown.
He has already given in a big step, why is this kid still speaking so thorny?
However, he still had to hold his breath and coax him first.
Now Lu Yanhe's golden body is so majestic and upright. He is brave enough to fight for justice on both sides. The eighteen-year-old boy has a strong foundation and a young man. If you don't coax him and calm him down, he is really going to explode. The first one to push It was Zhou Ping'an who came out to take the blame.
Zhou Ping'an never gave up hope, so Vice President Ma helped him.
At that time, the barefooted person who is not afraid of wearing shoes will become Zhou Ping'an.
So, Zhou Pingan hurried to the gate of No. 13 Middle School today to wait for Lu Yanhe, just to say these words to him.
Lu Yanhe knew that he would agree to Zhou Pingan.
He said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. In fact, he would not do such a thing unless it was absolutely necessary. He would kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself.
But agreeing so easily would be a waste of such an opportunity.
"During the period before the college entrance examination, any job opportunity I came across, as long as I wanted to take it, you had to help me take it," Lu Yanhe said.
Zhou Ping'an really didn't expect that Lu Yanhe would directly negotiate terms with him.
He was not satisfied with the conditions he proposed, and wanted to negotiate other conditions.
“You know, I can’t go too far and let the person who wants you leave the entertainment industry notice that we haven’t made any move.”
“I understand, you don’t have to worry. So much, my focus is still on the college entrance examination, and I’m not that popular, so there won’t be that many jobs coming to me.”
Lu Yanhe spoke calmly and calmly every word, as if this conversation was all expected by him.
His attitude was one of "I know very well that you will definitely come to me and say these things".
His gesture really frightened Zhou Pingan.
Getting off Zhou Pingan's car, Lu Yanhe entered the community with a calm face and turned between the buildings. He couldn't help but clenched his fist and waved it hard.
He sincerely felt that he did have some talent in acting.
-
Yan Liang and Li Zhibai are not here.
The room is dark.
Lu Yanhe went directly into his room and opened his laptop.
At about half past eleven, the two came back together, again as tired as dead dogs.
Lu Yanhe was sorting out his geography notes when he heard the noise outside and knew they were back, so he told the people in the live broadcast room that he was going to stop broadcasting, turned off the live broadcast software, and walked out of the room.
"Why do you look like you've been drained?" Lu Yanhe said with a smile when he saw the two of them occupying one end of the sofa as soon as they came back and slumped on it.
Li Zhibai: "Tired."
Yan Liang also said: "I'm really tired."
Lu Yanhe asked: "Is there any announcement tomorrow?"
>
"Yes." Li Zhibai said irritably, "Zhou Ping'an is not a good person."
Yan Liang said: "I have to go to class too, alas."
Lu Yanhe poured a glass for each of them. water.
“Go to bed early if you are tired.” He said.
"I can't sleep yet, damn, I have to have a video conference with people in half an hour." Li Zhibai looked furious, "Damn Zhou Ping'an."
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but laugh.
"Then I'll sleep first." He yawned.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both raised their heads in surprise, looked at him, and asked in unison: "Did you go to bed so early?"
In fact, it is almost twelve o'clock now, how can I say this? It's impossible to say "go to bed so early", but Lu Yanhe usually doesn't go to bed until around one o'clock in the morning, so it seems to be extra early today.
Lu Yanhe said: "I have slept too little in the past two days and need to make up for it."
Yan Liang nodded and said, "It's not that you've slept too little in the past two days, but that you've slept too little in the past two months. I feel like you're about to become an immortal."
"It's not that exaggerated. .”
“Ask Li Zhibai.”
No one answered.
The two of them turned around and saw that Li Zhibai had fallen asleep on the sofa.
"Fuck, just sleep when you say sleep." Yan Liang said.
"It seems he is really tired." Lu Yanhe asked, "What will happen if he has a meeting later?"
"It's okay, let him sleep for twenty minutes first, I'll wait Call him later." Yan Liang said.
Lu Yanhe nodded, "Then I'll go to bed first."
"Yes."
Lu Yanhe went to wash his face and brush his teeth, then returned to his room and went to sleep.
I finally slept for six hours. When I washed my face, I forgot to turn on the hot water mode. The cold water jolted him awake.
Lu Yanhe was ready to go out after washing up.
Yan Liang yawned and came out of the room. When he saw Lu Yanhe was about to go out, he waved his hand.
“Bye.”
"Bye."
Lu Yanhe faced the chill of early winter and walked into the icy air.
“Old Lu!” Yan Liang suddenly chased after him.
Lu Yanhe turned around in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Yan Liang ran to him and said: "I forgot to tell you last night, that legendary agent, Chen Ziyan, she There will be an open interview in the company at the end of the month, but interested parties must submit a registration form first. I guess Zhou Ping'an didn't tell you this news. Don't miss it. The deadline is this Saturday."
