Chapter 137: Try harder after drinking chicken soup
Is Chen Ziyan’s interview about to begin?
The news Yan Liang told him made him fall into deep thought.
Li Zhibai told him at the beginning that according to the termination agreement he signed with Zhou Pingan, as long as he changed his agent and this agent was willing to take him, the termination agreement would not take effect because The content of the agreement was stipulated, and the premise for it to take effect was that the company still wanted to terminate the contract with Lu Yanhe at that time.
In this matter, the agent represents the company's attitude.
Jiang Yuqian also told him that in his situation, he could consider trying to find another agent. If he could get Chen Ziyan's favor, all the negative effects Zhou Ping'an had on him would disappear.
Lu Yanhe walked to the bus stop thoughtfully.
The wind in the morning is not strong, but it is not gentle at all. If it blows even slightly, it will feel cold.
It’s only November.
I don’t know how cold it will be when winter comes.
"Didi——" The car horn sounded familiar.
Lu Yanhe looked up, and sure enough, it was Qiu Ling's car.
He gets a ride from Qiu Ling almost every month.
"Good morning, Sister Qiu Ling." Lu Yanhe got into the car and showed a bright smile.
Qiu Ling let out a long yawn, her face looked tired, and she looked like she had stayed up all night.
"Didn't you sleep last night?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Qiu Ling said: "It can't be said that I didn't sleep at all. I slept for half an hour."
"Why did you stay up late again?"
"The work is confidential. Don't ask." Qiu Ling finished. He glanced at Lu Yanhe and said, "You guys slept very well yesterday. Look how refreshed you are."
Lu Yanhe nodded, feeling very refreshed and said, "I had a good sleep yesterday."
"Hey, what time did you go to bed?"
"Twelve o'clock."
Qiu Ling looked over with disgust, "You call this a full sleep?"
"It's not bad, I've slept for six hours." Lu Yanhe said, "The main reason is that time is too precious now. If I had a better foundation, I wouldn't have to work so hard."
"Take it easy."
"Fortunately, no matter how hard you endure, it will only end in June next year. Sister Qiu Ling, just take it easy. I will finish the exam in June next year, and you will not change jobs next June."
Qiu Ling : "The nature of the work means there's nothing we can do about it, but we're fine. We can sleep well when we're not busy."
After saying that, Qiu Ling felt quite uncomfortable. Why is it so bitter?
Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Qiu Ling, the weather is so cold. After you have been busy for a while, let's go eat Malatang again."
"Okay." Qiu Ling saw him There was joy on his face, "What, is there anything good?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Thank you for what you told me last time. It made me change some practices. I didn't expect that I got some unexpected rewards."
"Hey, congratulations. "
"The drama "Golden Age" was finally won." Lu Yanhe. He said to Qiuling, "After the college entrance examination is over, I will join the crew to film and officially become an actor."
"Oh." Qiuling smiled, "Okay, I'm waiting for your movie. Go ahead, I’ll give you a shout when the time comes.”
“Well, thank you, Sister Qiu Ling.”
Qiu Ling took Lu Yanhe to the gate of No. 13 Middle School and stopped by the roadside.
“We’re here.”
“Bye.”
When Lu Yanhe got out of the car, Qiu Ling suddenly let out a sigh.
Lu Yanhe saw Qiu Ling looking forward with some confusion. He followed her gaze and saw Su Su.
"Oh, Teacher Su." Lu Yanhe stood outside the car door and asked, "Have you met Teacher Su again later?"
"We chatted online, but neither of us had the intention, so we didn't make an appointment. Passed." Qiuling said, "The world is quite small, and he has become your history teacher."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Then I'm leaving, bye." Lu Yanhe closed the car door and walked towards the school gate.
Su Su looked over and saw him.
"Yan He, you're here so early." Su Su greeted him with a smile.
"Teacher Su, you are very early too."
"I live nearby, so I will come over when I wake up." Su Su asked, "I have sorted out your recent quizzes I found that your understanding and reserve of the official system of each dynasty are insufficient. Once you are more flexible in setting the questions, you It will be wrong."
"Yes, indeed."
Su Su said: "Go back and sort out this part yourself, and you can explain it to the class next time. I will listen to the content below. Don’t be afraid if you make mistakes, I will correct them one by one.”
"Ah?"
"Afraid of embarrassment?"
"That's not true, but I do feel that I don't have that ability, and I'm afraid of saying something wrong."
"That's great. , just in time, you tell me, let the classmates pick Wrong, let’s see who picks the most and most accurately, so that your subjective initiative can be mobilized. Compared with passively listening to me, this method can arouse your interest more."
"Okay. ”
-
Lu Yanhe quite likes Su Su’s teaching model.
He often uses this method to drive everyone to become more actively familiar with and accumulate knowledge.
Everyone works hard, but the effects of passive efforts and active efforts are completely different.
If the group of people in the class listen to his lectures, they will definitely not be interested, but if they are to find fault with him, their interest will come immediately.
The evil of human nature.
While Lu Yanhe smiled, he was once again grateful to be able to meet these teachers.
Everyone has different characteristics and different teaching methods, but they all focus on helping everyone improve their grades.
Moreover, what surprised Lu Yanhe the most was that they never flattered others and never gave up on any student.
To this day, Liu Qin is still saying: "It is not too late to start working hard from now on. Everyone must understand one truth. Miracles do not happen for no reason. Miracles happen in your own hands. You have The harder you work, the greater the miracle will be.”
Lu Yanhe quite likes listening to Liu Qin talk about these chicken soups, because the boring and hard work is too long, and he needs some chicken soup to replenish his energy and cheer up his spirit.
At noon, many students in the classroom were sleeping on their desks.
Lu Yanhe felt a little dizzy while reading. He felt that the doors and windows in the classroom were closed, making it airtight and stuffy, so he put on his headphones and prepared to go for a walk on the playground to get some fresh air.
"Where are you going?" Li Pengfei, who was struggling with a math problem, asked when he saw him putting on his headphones and going out.
“Go to the playground and take a breath.” Lu Yanhe said.
"Oh." Li Pengfei scratched his head in pain, "I think my brain cells are going to die. I'll think about it again. Why don't you go to the canteen and bring me a bottle of Red Bull back."
"Okay. "Lu Yanhe nodded.
He came to the playground.
There are usually many people on the playground at noon, and many people like to come for a walk.
But because of the cold weather recently, there are almost no people on the playground.
Today too.
The reason why I say almost is because Lu Yanhe still saw someone.
I saw her from a distance, walking in circles on the playground, her head lowered, her hands in her pockets, her figure very silent.
It’s Xu Zijun.
Since failing the last test, Xu Zijun has become even more taciturn in class.
Li Xiang usually had a close and close relationship with her, but now they almost don't talk to each other.
She didn't speak, and no one dared to talk to her. She dropped dozens of places in her grade ranking. For Xu Zijun, it was like falling from a top university to an ordinary 985.
Lu Yanhe walked into the playground and walked clockwise with Xu Zijun in the same direction.
He did not go to say hello to Xu Zijun, nor did he go to cheer Xu Zijun stupidly.
Although he didn’t have much contact with Xu Zijun, Lu Yanhe had an impression of Xu Zijun, a kind of grass-like impression, simple and inconspicuous, not so beautiful in appearance, and not having a prominent family background. , but it grows stubbornly in the corner where no one pays attention.
Xu Zijun's performance has dropped so much. It is definitely not a matter of hard work or not, but a matter of state.
She only needs to adjust her condition, and her previous results will naturally come back.
Xu Zijun walked around twice and left the playground.
Lu Yanhe didn't know if she had seen him, because she kept her head down. If she didn't look up, she might not have noticed that there was another person on the playground.
Lu Yanhe only hoped that she would find her form quickly.
In the next few days, whenever Lu Yanhe felt a little bored at noon, he would go to the playground for a walk.
He often meets Xu Zijun.
She always lowers her head and is alone.
-
December, the fourth monthly exam.
On the day of the exam, it happened to snow.
Lu Yanhe saw a woman riding an electric motorcycle on the bus and fell when she turned a corner. It hurt just to look at her.
But luckily someone passed by and helped her up.
When the weather gets cold, people's movements become clumsy.
When Lu Yanhe took the Chinese language test, he almost didn’t finish his essay.
My fingers were a little stiff from the cold.
As soon as the Chinese test was over, Li Pengfei greeted him: "Why don't you go buy a drink? It's so cold. Damn it, I'm numb from the cold and my feet are cold."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He is also cold.
I sat there for two hours, and there was no heating in the classroom, so it was extremely cold.
Li Pengfei said happily: "I think I did a good job in writing today's essay. I should be able to score more than 48 points."
Although the date of the college entrance examination is approaching, Li Pengfei does not feel any nervousness and is still happy. One faction. The canteen was crowded with people, all coming to buy snacks.
They are probably all hungry.
It's only eleven o'clock now, and the cafeteria isn't open yet.
Li Pengfei finally grabbed two bottles of hot milk tea and squeezed out of the crowd.
"I'll go, the Spring Festival Transport train is nothing more than that." He said.
"You actually know about the Spring Festival?"
"The news is broadcast every year, and I am not blind."
The canteen has no way to start, so they can only go back to the classroom.
"Lao Lu, seriously, which university is your target?" Li Pengfei asked.
Lu Yanhe glanced at him and said, "I told you earlier, Zhenhua or Yuming."
"..." Li Pengfei rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "You haven't been here until now. Still unwilling to tell the truth.”
"This is the truth, really." Lu Yanhe smiled, "Why can't I pass the Zhenhua and Yuming exams?"
"Look at your current results, do you think you said you were going to pass the exams? Zhenhua and Yuming, are they realistic? ”
"There are still six months left, so we can continue to work hard." Lu Yanhe raised his chin, "Aren't you going to work hard anymore?"
"It's a joke, Brother Fei, I'm good at learning now, I know. "Li Pengfei immediately said not to be outdone, "I tell you, I will definitely surpass that idiot Luo Zicheng in this exam."
He is holding a grudge, and he still remembers to surpass Luo Zicheng.
Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "What if it doesn't exceed the limit?"
According to Li Pengfei's usual character behavior, he must have made a bet.
As a result, he now said: "If you don't exceed it, you can do it next time."
"It's boring."
"Haha, you kid, you want to lie to me and make a bet."
>-
After finishing the last subject of the monthly exam, Lu Yanhe followed his usual practice and did not stay at school to study at night, but went back.
I will go to bed early at night to give myself more time to rest.
But at nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Yanhe received a call from Zhou Pingan.
Zhou Pingan brought a piece of news that was not very good.
"It's not me who's causing trouble this time, someone is eyeing your character." Zhou Ping'an said, "You know Chen Ziliang."
Lu Yanhe suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Ah?" He didn't react at once, "Isn't he a singer?"
Zhou Pingan: "It's not unusual to cross circles. Many singers have become actors."
< br>Lu Yanhe said: "Did Director Luo tell you that he wanted to replace me?"
"That's not the case. Your starring agreement has been sent over. They haven't gone through the legal process yet and signed it. Two copies will be returned after stamping." Zhou Ping'an. Said, "Even if you sign a contract, some people will be cut off, let alone this situation where the contract has not been fully signed. Forget about others. Chen Ziliang is much more popular than you. He is willing to play a guest role like this. For this drama, it’s a sure-profit business. From what I’ve heard, investors and broadcast platforms are more inclined to use him.”
Lu Yanhe asked: “In this case, what should I do? How to deal with it? ”
"First of all, let me make it clear to you. I won't take action in this matter, but I can tell you a few ways. Whether you can do it depends on your own ability." Zhou Pingan said bluntly, "First, find out Use his dirty information to make the film crew afraid to use him. Secondly, you can use it more to fight against him. Move the film studio’s stuff and make the film studio voluntarily give up on him. Third, get Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian. As long as the director and the starring actor decide that this role should be played by you, the investors and broadcasting platform can still change their minds.”
Lu Yanhe listened to Zhou Ping'an and said hello.
“But let me tell you something from my heart. Don’t worry about it. This is how the world is. Those who are popular are favored and those who are not popular are shunned. If you want to compete with Chen Ziliang, you must first sit down with him. Come to the same table." Zhou Pingan asked, "Do you think you and he can sit at the same table? "
Lu Yanhe was silent for a moment and said, "Why not? I got this role through audition. He relies on popularity and popularity, so everyone depends on their ability."
Zhou Ping'an snorted, "You're quite high-spirited."
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, it wasn't that he was arrogant, it was because he only had this chance.
How could he obediently give up to others just because Chen Ziliang wanted to rob him.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.
Why did Chen Ziliang play such a role? This question first popped up in Lu Yanhe's mind.
He is such a popular singer, he can just sing well in his own track, why bother to act? Even if he wants to develop across circles, he can play a more important role instead of "Golden Age" "A character who may even appear in less than three episodes.
Lu Yanhe's mind flashed to the scene when he and Jiang Yuqian met Chen Ziliang in the morning tea restaurant.
Is it for her?
-
“Are you sure you want to act in this play?”
In the dressing room, Yan Wei looked at Chen Ziliang helplessly, and the implication was actually that Chen Ziliang did not support this decision.
But what Chen Ziliang wants to do, even if his agent objects, it is useless.
Just like the last time Chen Ziliang stopped recording, he couldn't persuade this person to change his mind no matter what he said.
Chen Ziliang sat in front of the dressing table, glanced at himself in the mirror, and asked the makeup artist: "Am I any worse in appearance than those actors?"
The makeup artist praised very enthusiastically: "How could it be? You are very handsome and very recognizable."
Chen Ziliang raised the corners of his mouth and glanced at Yan Weiyi.
"What's the point of singing all the time? Fans are tired of hearing it. I have to act in a drama to feel fresh, right?"
"You have never acted before." Yan Wei still tried her best to persuade, "If your performance fails, you will be ridiculed by people online, which will not be good for you."
"I haven't even performed yet, you You know I'm bad at acting?" Chen Ziliang immediately frowned, "Hasn't that Lu Yanhe never acted before? How dare he act?"
Yan Wei thought to himself, that guy is a serious person who passed the audition. The role you get must have two skills, which is completely different from your nature of grabbing roles based on popularity, right?
But there is no way you can really say this to Chen Ziliang, otherwise he would directly perform a fire-breathing dragon transformation on the spot for you.
Ever since he became popular, Chen Ziliang has become less and less fond of hearing these unpleasant words.
Yan Wei could only say: "Lu Yan Heyan is also scolded. He is just an idol artist. Apart from his good-looking face, he doesn't know anything."
Chen Ziliang listened. After Yan Wei said this, he listened a little bit.
“Oh, there aren’t many scenes with that role anyway. If it doesn’t work, I’ll find an acting teacher and learn from it.” Chen Ziliang said, “But this role is Yuqian’s first love in the play. Of course I can't let anyone else act."
...Yu Qian.
Yan Wei thought to himself, if Jiang Yuqian has any thoughts about you, she won't have this attitude now.
"Especially Lu Yanhe." Chen Ziliang suddenly thought of something, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Yan Wei knew that Chen Ziliang was very unfavorable to Lu Yanhe, even disgusted. Ever since his feud in "Little Songs", Chen Ziliang has regarded this young idol as a thorn in his side.
Chen Ziliang couldn't be persuaded, so Yan Wei had no choice but to say: "If you want to play this role, you need the permission of director Luo Yuzhong. I heard that he had agreed to give the role to Lu Yanhe before. Both parties are in After signing the contract, Director Luo didn’t nod, and the investors and It’s no use that the broadcast platform cares about you.”
“I heard that Director Luo likes Mr. Zhang Shansan’s paintings very much. Didn’t I take a picture of one of his paintings at the charity dinner last year? Make an appointment with Director Luo? , meet him so that I can have a chat with him in person.”
Chen Ziliang has long thought about how to publicize Luo Yuzhong, and even knows whose paintings he likes.
Yan Weiwei knew from hearing this that Chen Ziliang had made up his mind and must snatch this role away from Lu Yanhe.
-
Lu Yanhe did not go to Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian immediately.
They didn’t say anything, but you hurriedly went to find them. They might think that you didn’t believe them at all, and that you were just following the wind.
Lu Yanhe carefully searched Chen Ziliang's information on the Internet.
What can he do?
Without the power of a company and an agent, he would be just an ordinary senior high school student, unable to do anything.
But it’s better than doing nothing.
Because he was thinking about this matter in his mind, when he came back to his senses, he found that he had been in a daze for almost half an hour.
-
The monthly exam results are out.
Lu Yanhe made progress again this time. He improved to the 165th place in his grade.
Before it was announced, it had already caused heated discussion in the teachers’ offices.
"Lu Yanhe in your class is a bit of a genius. In just a few months, he went from being outside the 500th grade to the 165th grade. If he continues like this, he might not be able to pass the first-class exam in the end?"
In the office, other teachers said to Liu Qin.
Lu Yanhe’s continued progress also surprised Liu Qin.
She knew that Lu Yanhe worked hard, and she often said that as long as she was willing to work hard, it was never too late to start. But in fact, the following words were meant to encourage students. Is it really not too late? Liu Qin also knew that it was simply unrealistic.
Starting to work hard since the first year of high school and starting from the third year of high school are completely different foundations.
Except for a very few gifted students, the gap in performance is widened by accumulated differences over time.
The higher the ranking, the harder it is to make progress, and there may even be a bottleneck period. After all, while you are making progress, others are also making progress. It is not just you who work hard to answer questions and read books, and you will never stop making progress.
It is a small miracle that Lu Yanhe can maintain this kind of progress.
Liu Qin also wanted to know how far Lu Yanhe could progress.
At the same time, she also felt a little regretful in her heart. It would have been better if Lu Yanhe had changed tracks earlier and shifted his focus to studying.
-
Some people are born with a sense of responsibility, and Liu Qin is such a person.
She chose to be a teacher because she loves to help these young children take a step forward.
She doesn’t want to give up on everyone because she always wants to do her best to prevent others from leaving regrets in their lives.
-
The fact that Lu Yanhe improved his grade ranking in four consecutive exams spread throughout the grade.
A person has completed a leap from being ranked in the top 500 to being ranked in the top 100 in four months. According to the results of previous years, this is a leap from a junior college to a second-tier college. It is like crossing a huge distance.
With this kind of progress, in the minds of many students, he is almost becoming a god.
Lu Yanhe heard about his results from others before he even saw his ranking.
When Liu Qin brought over the class score sheet, the whole class knew that Lu Yanhe had ranked 165th in his grade this time.
Li Pengfei was so envious that his eyes turned red.
"You beast, how can you make progress every time?"
Lu Yanhe was still thinking about how to solve the problem of Chen Ziliang stealing his role, but when he came back to his senses, he saw everyone looking envious. Looking at him with jealous eyes.
According to the results of previous years, their school’s first-tier school is generally around 120th grade. Therefore, he was able to get 165th, which is almost enough to choose a good school among the second-tier schools. .
Lu Yanhe smiled at Li Pengfei and said, "Then you should try your best too."
"Of course I will try my best!" After Li Pengfei finished speaking, he sighed again, "How can we The class score sheet hasn’t been sent yet?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qin entered the classroom with the grade list of their class.
Liu Qin had a bright smile on her face.
"Everyone did well in the exam this time."
