Chapter 158: Ascension
A small table for four.
Lu Yanhe sat next to Vice President Ma, and Lin Miaomiao sat next to Lin Desheng. This arrangement made Lu Yanhe inexplicably awkward.
The previous audition for "Golden Age" made Lu Yanhe realize that Vice President Ma's attitude towards him was the same as Zhou Pingan's. In other words, among those who wanted to drive Lu Yanhe out of the company, there were Vice President Ma.
But after that, Lu Yanhe never had any contact with Vice President Ma.
Thinking about it now, Vice President Ma should be very unhappy that he signed back to the company.
After coming back to his senses, Lu Yanhe returned his attention to the conversation between Lin Desheng and Vice President Ma.
The two people are still talking about subsequent cooperation. Different from his imagination of this kind of business meeting, in fact, the two people are not talking about business most of the time, but about acting. Some predictions and prospects for the future of the industry.
At first glance, it sounds like it has nothing to do with the cooperation between the two companies.
But if I listen carefully, I find that it is quite relevant.
For example, Vice President Ma's judgment on the idol market has led him to emphasize many times that Star Entertainment Agency has a reserve advantage in hundreds of young idol artists. Although the draft has declined in the past two years, no one knows when the spring breeze of the draft will come again. Come on, when the time comes, these young idol artists from Star Entertainment Agency will be resources that major platforms compete for. After all, high-quality idols are always the scarcest resource for a talent show.
Their predictions for the future actually affect their current layout.
Lin Desheng said that Northern Lights Video will launch programs focusing on the concept of idol artists in the next few years, because he also believes that with the development of the economy, everyone's pursuit of idols will become more and more prosperous. In a society with rapid economic development, everyone will increasingly like more refined and fashionable things. It just so happens that the network environment can extremely expand these concepts and constantly form new trends.
Lu Yanhe felt that it was quite rewarding to listen to the two of them talking.
While listening, Lin Desheng suddenly turned around and asked: "Xiao Lu, you were an idol artist before your debut, right? Are you planning to become an idol in the future? I heard from Miaomiao that you changed your manager. Are you going to act in the future?”
Lu Yanhe came to his senses and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that Vice President Ma sitting next to him was looking at him with a burning gaze.
Lu Yanhe glanced at Vice President Ma suspiciously.
He didn’t know what Deputy Ma was always worried about.
“Everything should be tried now.” Lu Yanhe said, “My agent told me that I am only eighteen years old, so there is no need to worry about deciding what route to take in the future now.”
Lin Desheng nodded and said: "Your agent takes a long-term view, unlike some agents I know who are eager for quick success. You should really try more at this time to find the path that suits you best."

Lin Miaomiao immediately said: "Of course, Dad, do you know who Lu Yanhe's current manager is?"
Lin Desheng asked: "Who is it? Do I know him?"
Lin Miaomiao Qing He snorted and said, "His current manager is Chen Ziyan. She brought out Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou."
Lin Desheng was a little surprised.
Lu Yanhe was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Miaomiao to know about it.
The fact that he changed his agent has not been widely spread yet. Basically, only people in the company know about it. How did Lin Miaomiao know about it?
Lin Miaomiao seemed to know quite a lot about him.
The smile on Vice President Ma’s face became a little forced.
He has been downplaying Chen Ziyan’s presence in external work, especially not wanting Chen Ziyan to appear in collaborations led by him.
Now that Lu Yanhe was suddenly brought in, Chen Ziyan was also mentioned.
Lin Desheng looked at Lu Yanhe and said, "Miaomiao has been praising you to me. I heard that your grades are good. Which university are you going to go to?"
"We won't know until the scores come out." Lu Yanhe did not speak directly anymore. If you say you want to go to Zhenhua or Yuming, you should be more modest in front of people you don't know well.
"If you can really get into Zhenhua or Yuming, I will give you a play and let you star in it." Lin Desheng said.
“Huh?” Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Lin Desheng smiled and asked: "Why, you are still not happy?"
Lu Yanhe hesitated a little and said, "The main reason is that it was a little sudden and I didn't react."
What he didn't say was that he felt that they were not relatives and suddenly wanted to give him a drama. This sounds so unreasonable.
Lu Yanhe really wanted to act, but he was a bit afraid to accept the starring role that came to his door out of nowhere. It's the same as picking up money on the street. If you pick up a hundred dollars, you think you're lucky, so you happily take it and go shopping. If you pick up tens of thousands in one go, you won't be able to feel at ease with the money Take it into your own hands.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
His hesitant expression fell in Lin Desheng's eyes, making Lin Desheng even more satisfied with him.
Today, Lin Desheng expressed such great affection for Lu Yanhe in front of people. It is said that his daughter has been chanting Lu Yanhe's name all day long in the past six months.
Lu Yanhe’s performance today exceeded Lin Desheng’s expectations. Especially when he said he wanted to send a play to Lu Yanhe, the latter's reaction was not ecstatic and excited to thank him, but rather he was a little afraid to accept it. This kind of caution and calmness in the face of huge interests made Lin Desheng admire him quite a lot.

After the conversation in the Sky Garden, Lu Yanhe no longer participated in their subsequent itinerary.
Lu Yanhe quietly explained to Lin Miaomiao that he had classes in the afternoon, and then prepared to go back to his rehearsal room.
But Lin Miaomiao stopped him and asked, "Why weren't you very happy when my dad said he would give you a play just now?"
Lu Yanhe didn't know how to explain it to Lin Miaomiao.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, I just feel that he and I are not related to such a big gift, so I can't bear it." Lu Yanhe finally told Lin Miaomiao directly, "He gave it to me because of you. Such an opportunity."
Lin Miaomiao frowned, "Is it because of me that you are unwilling to accept it?"
"No." Lu Yanhe didn't know how to explain it to Lin Miaomiao for a while.
There are many words that cannot be explained clearly so easily.
He wanted to say that he knew it was a good intention, but he didn't want to accept such a good intention.
But the reason is that it will hurt Lin Miaomiao - because I don't have a good relationship with you yet, so such kindness is well deserved.
In the end, Lu Yanhe became the one who had nothing to say.
"Forget it, it's up to you." Lin Miaomiao curled her lips, "Anyway, you now have Chen Ziyan as your manager, and you won't be bullied by Zhou Pingan in the future."
Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise. .
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Miaomiao asked.
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you, how do you know so much about me?"
Lin Miaomiao's eyes suddenly became erratic. The gaze that was looking directly at Lu Yanhe suddenly turned to one side.
"I just heard what others said." Lin Miaomiao said, "You still have the nerve to ask me, how come you were so bullied by the agent in front of you and didn't know how to fight back?"
In Lin Miaomiao's eyes , Lu Yanhe is a good-tempered bun, and he was about to be kicked out of the company by Zhou Pingan, but he honestly signed the termination agreement.
She heard most of this news from Hou Jun, the director of "Little Songs".
When he heard this, Lin Miaomiao was very angry and wished he could help Lu Yanhe get rid of this bad temper. She has been mentioning Lu Yanhe in front of her father for the past six months, and she just wants her father to support Lu Yanhe.
Lin Desheng was shocked at first, thinking that his daughter had been cheated on. However, after investigation, he found that his daughter had not met more than three people in total, and the relationship between them was as clear as water. It was obvious that his daughter had a crush on people.
Because Lin Miaomiao had not been in good health since childhood and had to go to the hospital every now and then, Lin Desheng had always been pampered and pampered towards her, giving her almost everything she asked for.
After investigating Lu Yanhe’s situation and seeing his past experiences, Lin Desheng developed a lot of affection for Lu Yanhe.
A child from a rural area has no parents and no one to rely on. He didn’t become popular even though he debuted, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. When he was in the third year of high school, he was given up by his company. He started studying hard and his grades improved very quickly. Look. It turns out that he is really studying hard.
Regardless of their good character, quick wit, and courage, how many people can be so calm when they encounter a murderer who kidnaps them?
For such a young man, Lin Desheng was happy to help, and that's why he did what he did today.
Lu Yanhe didn't know the whole story and didn't dare to accept other people's kindness easily. He thanked Lin Miaomiao and left.
Lin Miaomiao looked at his leaving figure, bit her lip, and wanted to say something, but hesitated.
-
In the rehearsal room, Chen Jing is still practicing dance.
Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong passed by outside and saw Chen Jing inside through the glass wall.
Wei Zhuoran immediately sneered.
“He is secretly practicing more.”
Qu Yousong curled his lips with some disdain when he saw Chen Jing.
“Isn’t that just him? He always likes to study secretly by himself, and wants to outshine everyone else at the scene.”
“Ma Zhiyuan has taught him a lesson before, telling him not to steal the limelight. "He didn't listen at all." Wei Zhuoran said, "Should we tell Ma Zhiyuan? He would be furious if he knew that Chen Jing was practicing secretly here."
"Last time at the Henglan Music Festival, the audience response to Chen Jing's dance part was better than that of Ma Zhiyuan. After Ma Zhiyuan stepped down, he lost his temper with Chen Jing. If you tell Ma Zhiyuan now, he might ask Chen Jing to quit. This afternoon’s program recording.” Qu Yousong chuckled and said.
Wei Zhuoran heard this and said: "If that's the case, of course you have to tell Ma Zhiyuan."
Qu Yousong: "You have a dark heart."
"Both each other." Wei Zhuoran responded.
Wei Zhuoran took out his mobile phone, took a photo of Chen Jing practicing dancing in the rehearsal room, and sent it privately to Ma Zhiyuan: Chen Jing is practicing dancing secretly again, captain, this person is bent on stepping on him. I'm waiting for you to take over.
