Chapter 214 The Shadow of Summer
Soon, as the cicadas chirped more and more desperately, summer entered August from July.
The hot weather covers everyone exposed to the air equally, causing curses.
Lu Yanhe's time was also cut into three parts, one for "Jump Up", one for stage rehearsal, and one for fitness and "paralysis" after fitness.
Well, I really can’t take any time off.
The performance at the Beijing-Taiwan Gala that night was a live broadcast, with one cover and one chorus. Lu Yanhe was under a lot of pressure.
This is the lack of confidence that non-professional singers have in themselves.
But when the contact person asked him if he wanted to return the message, he still refused.
Although he is not professional, he does things for money, but his moral values and professionalism do not allow him to lip-sync.
While he was busy rehearsing, Chen Siqi was not idle either, and was even busier than him. He found typewriters and designers to make covers and layout designs. It is said that he stayed in his studio every day.
"For Mooks like us, people can make much more money than us by taking orders outside. If I don't work hard and look familiar, how can people pay attention to me." Chen Siqi has her own theory.
Lu Yanhe didn't ask who she was looking for. Anyway, he didn't understand this part. Chen Siqi had already taken care of it, so he left it to her to do it.
Lu Yanhe is now responsible for greeting those who have not submitted their manuscripts every day and urging them to submit their manuscripts.
This afternoon, Lu Yanhe made an appointment with Song Linxin to rehearse.
Unexpectedly, before going out, Song Linxin suddenly sent a message saying that there was an unexpected situation and the afternoon rehearsal would be cancelled, and she apologized to him.
Lu Yanhe said it was okay and asked what happened. Song Linxin did not reply. Who knows, at night, Chen Ziyan suddenly called him.
"Hello? Sister Ziyan, are you looking for me?"
"Yes." Chen Ziyan's tone did not sound very good, "Song Linxin's agent just called me Call and say I'm sorry, the performance she sang with you is going to be cancelled."
"Cancelled?" Lu Yanhe was still stunned and didn't react. He asked, "What happened? ? Why was it suddenly canceled? I had a rehearsal with her in the afternoon, but she also told me that it was canceled at noon. What happened to her? "
"No," Chen Ziyan was on the other end of the phone. He sighed softly and said, "Yan He, it's not that something happened to her. It was Chen Ziliang who came to find them again. Her manager decided to let her sing this song with Chen Ziliang."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
"Didn't Chen Ziliang reject her before? That's why you came to me for help?"
"I don't know what Chen Ziliang thinks, but now Chen Ziliang has found her again. After all, Chen Ziliang is in the music industry Her status and reputation are much higher than yours. I can understand her manager’s final decision. Don’t take it too seriously and just do your own thing well,” Chen Ziyan said.
A fire burned in Lu Yanhe's heart.
“I’m sorry, Sister Ziyan, I can’t help but take it seriously.”
It would be fine if Song Linxin was just the little girl who bought the right to cover "Remember", but after more than a month of getting to know, contact, and get along with each other, from when Song Linxin helped him write the manuscript to when he helped Song Linxin complete this chorus work, After rehearsing, meeting, and chatting from time to time, Lu Yanhe already regarded Song Linxin as his friend, and he could not accept Song Linxin doing such a thing.
Just like he can accept Ma Zhiyuan stabbing him in the back, but he cannot accept Li Zhibai and Yan Liang doing this. He has no trust in the former but does in the latter.
The same is true for Song Linxin.
Lu Yanhe was furious.
Chen Ziyan: "I know you may be a little angry now, but digest it well, don't do anything, and don't impulsively ask Song Linxin why, just be smarter, okay?"
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.
"If I don't go and ask Song Linxin about this matter now, I won't know how to deal with her in the future."
"I will deal with you how you want to deal with her." Chen Ziyan said , "We will talk about the rest later, now You won't listen to anything I say when you're angry. I just hope you calm down tonight and don't do anything while you're angry."
"I understand."
" You promised me.”
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe took another deep breath before suppressing his anger.
To be honest, this song was written by Song Linxin, and Song Linxin invited him to sing it. Now that they don’t let him sing it, there is nothing wrong with it, and he has lost nothing.
But just because of the acquaintance and rehearsals over the past month, after such an incident, Lu Yanhe felt that after gaining a rare friend, he immediately lost a friend.
Being abandoned feels like being slapped twice. The first reaction is not pain, but anger.
-
Song Linxin’s eyes were red as she looked at her manager Zhou Meng.
"Aunt Meng, you will make me lose my friend Lu Yanhe."
Zhou Meng was helpless, but there was no other way, "Lin Xin, this is what Beijing and Taiwan want, this It was the party they held, and Chen Ziliang was the one they wanted to support "We can't offend Jingtai."
Song Linxin sat on the sofa with her knees in her arms, her eyes as red as a rabbit, and said: "It was Chen Ziliang who disliked my song for being too girly. Refuses to sing with me.”
"It's not that the top management of Beijing and Taiwan got him and stuffed him back again." Zhou Meng knelt down in front of Song Linxin, touched her head and said, "I know that both you and Lu Yanhe have suffered in this matter." We have suffered a lot of grievances, but I’m sorry, if we insist on rejecting Jingtai’s request, your subsequent collaboration with Jingtai on “Songs to Respond” will also be affected. You have just debuted, and now you are the one who needs the most exposure. At that time, there is no program more suitable for you than "A Song to Respond"."
Zhou Meng said again: "Explain it to Lu Yanhe. If he really treats you as a friend, he will understand you. "
"If my friend did this to me, I would never pay attention to him in my life."
Song Linxin stared at Zhou Meng with tears in her eyes. .
“I couldn’t bear to call him.”
-
Lu Yanhe tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Angry.
However, I am no longer as angry as when I first received the call.
——Lu Yanhe, do you need it? Have you been angry about such a thing for so long? Do you have chicken intestines?
A voice questioned him in his head.
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, you know nothing.
By the time he reacted, hey, he had been asking and answering questions for a while.
Lu Yanhe sat up suddenly, unable to sleep, so he simply turned on the lights, started the live broadcast, and read a book.
If you feel depressed, read a book to calm your mood.
He didn't even bother to get out of bed, so he pointed the camera directly at the head of the bed, sat on the bed with a book and read through it.
Because the distance is relatively close, his profile takes up one-third of the screen.
This angle is an angle that almost never appears.
This surprised fans who had watched Lu Yanhe’s live broadcast for a long time, wondering why the camera position had changed today.
What Lu Yanhe read today was a book published by another publishing house. It was not a novel, but a travelogue.
The main reason is that at this time, Lu Yanhe doesn't want to read novels anymore.
After reading for a while, my phone buzzed.
He frowned in confusion, picked it up and saw that it was a call from Chen Siqi.
"Hello?" Lu Yanhe answered the phone.
Chen Siqi: "You seem to be in a bad mood? The live broadcast suddenly started at this time. Could it be that you can't sleep?"
Lu Yanhe's behavioral psychology was guessed by Chen Siqi.
He was awkwardly silent for a long time and admitted, "Yeah."
As he said that, he suddenly realized that he was live broadcasting and quickly turned around to check whether the live broadcast was muted.
"You have muted your voice, don't worry." Chen Siqi said immediately.
Lu Yanhe was very embarrassed and asked: "How come you can guess what I'm thinking in my heart?"
Chen Siqi: "That's not because you can't hide things on your face."
Lu Yanhe: "No."
Chen Siqi: "If you say no, then it's not. But, you If you're in a bad mood, you don't have to hold it in alone. If you want to talk to someone, I'm on summer vacation anyway, so I'm quite free."
"It's actually nothing, just before. There is a girl The singer invited me to sing a song with her. I have been rehearsing with her recently. But today her manager suddenly told me that she wanted to replace me and collaborate with another person. Moreover, so far she She didn’t even send me a message. She actually contacted my agent through her agent and didn’t tell me in person.”
“Is she a beautiful girl?”< br>
"Well, that's not the point."
"Forget it if you don't want to answer directly." Chen Siqi muttered and said, "This matter is indeed quite irritating, but if you think about it differently, you are not lacking. For this performance opportunity, if she wants to collaborate with others, just let her go. Anyway, you don’t have your own show.”< br>
Lu Yanhe: "Well, I regarded this person as a friend before, and I felt like I was stabbed in the back by someone I trusted."
"Why do you treat people as friends so easily? "
"When I need her help, she is the fastest to agree," Lu Yanhe said immediately.
Song Linxin was indeed the fastest to agree and the fastest to submit the manuscript.
Chen Siqi suddenly guessed sensitively: "It can't be Song Linxin, right?"
Lu Yanhe: "..."
He now suddenly realized how advanced Chen Siqi's radar was . "It seems that I guessed it right." Chen Siqi smiled, "If that's the case, then you can just call me and ask them clearly. Is there any unexplained misunderstanding? Who knows? Is it her own intention? According to what you said, since she is also a very loyal person, even if she wants to replace you and cooperate with others, she will explain it clearly to you based on common sense. "
Lu Yanhe sighed, "Maybe I was too angry when I answered Sister Ziyan's call. Sister Ziyan asked me to calm down first. If I want to make a call, I have to wait until the weather is over tomorrow."
" Your agent is right.”< br>
“Yes.”
“But if you don’t understand, you won’t be able to sleep tonight?”
“Don’t curse me, I still want to watch it The child is just sleeping.”
Chen Siqi was happy and said, "Okay, then you can read a book. I won't disturb you anymore."
Chen Siqi hung up the phone after saying that.
Lu Yanhe stared at his phone with wide eyes, damn, he hung up right away? Not even a word of good night! -
Chen Siqi looked at the side face of Lu Yanhe frowning and staring at the phone on the computer screen, and laughed.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
As if on conditioned reflex, she moved her finger to the mouse, and the cursor that had been resting on the close button immediately zoomed in on the window of the live broadcast platform.
"Who is it? I'm going to sleep."
"Then you go to bed early and don't be like last night. I got up early in the morning to go to the bathroom and saw the light in your room was still on." at the door. came her father's voice.
Chen Siqi originally thought it was Liu Wei'an.
Because her father rarely knocks on the door of her room.
"I was reading a manuscript yesterday." Chen Siqi said through the door, "It's not like you don't know that I was editing a book with my classmates recently."
She didn't know that her dad was still listening. No.
After two seconds, there was no sound from outside the door.
Chen Siqi felt a burst of disappointment in her heart. Suddenly, her father's voice came from outside the door again: "Just do those things for fun, don't stay up late and hurt your body."
She was so angry that she wanted to retort, why was it just for fun? Why did she finally do something she wanted to do, but in his eyes it was just for fun?
But she held back. Chen Siqi took a deep breath and clenched her fists in anger as she listened to the footsteps walking away from the door.
She can only comfort herself and encourage herself, not to be a giant in language, to make "Jump Up", to make "Jump Up" into the best Mook, and see who dares to say that she is just " Just for fun”! -
Originally, Lu Yanhe thought of contacting Song Linxin the next day. No matter what, he wanted to hear what happened from her own words.
However, Lu Yanhe did not expect that he suddenly received a call from Chen Ziyan early the next morning. Chen Ziyan said: "Something happened to Wang Yunfan."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned. "What happened to him?"
"He committed suicide and went outside to record a variety show in the middle of filming. As a result, he had an accident last night and broke his leg during the recording process." Chen Ziyan said, "Now the filming of "Golden Age" has to follow. Make adjustments.”
“Huh?” Lu Yanhe asked, “What? How to film his scenes? Will we wait until his leg heals? "How can we wait until his leg can't stand up in three months?" Chen Ziyan said in her tone. It was full of annoyance, because Wang Yunfan’s own problems delayed the progress of the entire crew.
“What should we do?” Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Ziyan said: "Lei Shuangcheng contacted me half an hour ago and asked me if you have time in August. I said you have a party recording and a program recording after the 20th, so he I didn’t say anything, but then I thought about it If Wang Yunfan has a problem, he doesn't have to call me to ask if you have time. If he calls me like this, is it possible that Director Luo has changed his mind and wants to give you the role of Wang Yunfan? Come and play?”
Lu Yanhe's eyes suddenly trembled, "No way? That's the second male lead."
"I don't think it's possible, but Director Luo is indeed very fond of you, and it's not like that I'll just let you play the role of Wang Yunfan, and maybe I'll find a screenwriter overnight Change the script and assign his role to different people," Chen Ziyan said, "As soon as I thought of this, I called you immediately, Yan He, I asked you to give up the recording of "Young Days". Are you willing?”
Lu Yanhe was confused.
"Ah? Didn't we all sign the contract?"
Chen Ziyan said: "What's more important, a variety show or a more important role in director Luo Yuzhong's new play? ”
She sounded like Lu Yanhe was particularly ignorant.
Lu Yanhe was silent, and his doubts became even worse. After a while, he said: "But, if we have signed an agreement with "Young Days", I think we must have a contractual spirit."
Chen Ziyan: "We can negotiate after signing the agreement. We can withdraw through friendly negotiation. The key is if Director Luo is really willing to give you Aren’t you excited about the extra drama?”
Lu Yanhe frowned for a long time before saying, “Sister Ziyan, I’m very excited, but...since I made a promise to someone else, I don’t want to break my promise.”
Maybe Chen Ziyan didn't expect Lu Yanhe to be so stubborn in this regard. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she was silent for two seconds and hung up the phone.
Chen Ziyan didn't know that after Lu Yanhe hung up the phone, his face was full of confusion, because he felt that Chen Ziyan's attitude on the phone just now was not in line with her past style.
In his impression, Chen Ziyan was able to get along so well in the entertainment industry, and it was inseparable from the fact that she kept her promises and had credibility. How could she persuade him to terminate her contract with "Young Days"?
-
"Although the agreement has been signed, it is still so long before the program is recorded. I went to talk to the program team and help them introduce a popular idol star to join. Could it be that Chen Biqiu and the others Are you still unwilling? ”
Chen Ziyan shook her head helplessly and looked at the man sitting in front of her, "Director Li, look, I just used Director Luo's "Golden Age" to add a scene to him, but I didn't persuade him to join "Young Days". "To terminate the contract, what other reason can I have to persuade him?"
Sitting in front of her was a deputy director of the Beijing TV Station and a powerful station director.
The latter is in his early fifties, but his temples are already frosty white.
There was a slight smile on his lips, and he waved his hand and said: "Xiao Chen, don't do this to me. If you have the intention to prevent him from appearing in "Young Days", where can you go? You need such a reason."
Chen Ziyan sighed, "Director Li, you really overestimate me. I am just a small agent. , Moreover, this is no longer the era where we had the final say. Now the manager is just a waiter working for the artist. How can I persuade him? "
Director Li said: "You. Isn’t he the master who gave him some clever tricks behind his back and finally helped him stay in the Star Entertainment Agency?”
"Ah?" Chen Ziyan looked confused, "What are you talking about?"
Director Li said: "I heard Mr. Ma say before that if you hadn't stopped him, he would have killed Lu Yanhe long ago. The contract was terminated, haha, of course, he was blind and didn't realize that Lu Yanhe was such a piece of diamond."
"You are exaggerating, I didn't stop them." Chen Zi. Yan said, "I just knew that Zhou Ping'an didn't take Lu Yanhe with him anymore. I saw some bright spots in him, so I took him with me."
"Okay, I came to see you today. I originally wanted to go with you." Let’s catch up on old times and invite this recently popular young man to come to our station to record a program. Unfortunately, the time has coincided. Let’s talk about it next time when we have a chance.” Director Li waved his hand and stood up.
“Look, my place is very simple. I have nothing to entertain you. I’ll give it to you.”
"No need, stay." Director Li waved his hand.
Chen Ziyan still insisted on being sent to the elevator.
As soon as the others left, Chen Ziyan put away the smile on her face and calmed down.
As soon as she returned to the office, she immediately called Lu Yanhe back.
“Hello?”
"Hello, Sister Ziyan? I just rejected you, are you not angry?" On the phone, Lu Yanhe's voice was a little cautious.
Chen Ziyan: "I'm not angry. You answered very well just now. I really had no choice but to make that call to you. I was forced to do that by a deputy director of Beijing TV Station. What he said If there is a program from Beijing TV station in other places that wants to cooperate with you, let me You terminated your contract with "Young Days". Due to my personal reasons, I couldn't refuse him directly. I could only say that I couldn't be your master, so I found an excuse to ask you if you were willing to terminate the contract. "
Lu Yanhe. He was confused and didn't realize what the relationship was.
Chen Ziyan was silent for another two seconds and said: "He seems to be particularly reluctant to let you appear on the program "Young Days"."
"A deputy director of Beijing TV Station, particularly unwilling Are you willing to let me appear on the show "Young Days"?" Lu Yanhe asked, "Does this show have anything to do with Beijing TV?"
"No, this program is an online variety show, not broadcast on a TV station. This is what makes me feel particularly strange." Chen Ziyan asked, "Do you know the deputy director of Beijing TV Station? His surname is Li."
" I don’t know him.”
Chen Ziyan didn’t think Lu Yanhe knew him, so she asked just to eliminate the last possibility.
"Is Wang Yunfan's broken leg true or false?"
"Really." Chen Ziyan said, "But Lei Shuangcheng didn't come to call me to ask if you have time. But he came to complain to me as an old friend.”
"What about the subsequent filming of "Golden Age"?"
"I'm wearing a plaster, only the upper body is shot from the front and side, and only the stand-in is shot in the panoramic view. I can only do this first." Chen Ziyan said, "One It’s enough for the crew to meet such an actor. He will probably be blacklisted by Director Luo’s circle in the future.”
Lu Yanhe felt sad after hearing this.
“I always feel that Mr. Li from Beijing came out of nowhere, which makes me feel strange.” Chen Ziyan still went back and said, “I don’t know why, but I have a strong intuition that this is different from what you did before. The incomprehensible things that happened to me may be related in some way.”
“Sister Ziyan, are you talking about me being pushed into the river and being kicked out of the company?”
"Well." Chen Ziyan's eyes flashed with a strange light, "I even have some suspicions now, but I don't have evidence yet. I will investigate first and I will tell you if there are clues."
< br>Lu Yanhe felt a little nervous inexplicably.
"I know."
Chen Ziyan: "It's okay, don't worry, no matter what, the more you work, the more popular you become, the more people pay attention to you, the person hiding behind will be The more you are afraid. Speaking of which, I have to find an assistant for you, preferably someone who can learn some martial arts. If someone follows you, you won't be in the same danger as before if you don't leave alone. I was really negligent in asking you to shoot "Golden Age" alone. Fortunately, nothing happened."
hang. When I got the call, Chen Ziyan said she would look for him and immediately used her own network to find a suitable assistant candidate.
Originally, Chen Ziyan didn't want to find an assistant for Lu Yanhe so early. First, she didn't want Lu Yanhe to develop the bad habit of being waited on wherever he went. Second, Lu Yanhe's current income couldn't afford the assistant's salary, and the company had to foot the bill. Deputy Ma The boss would definitely not agree, so she had to use her power forcefully, but she was very unconvincing at the executive meeting. After all, she had turned down so many profitable projects for Lu Yanhe, and all of them were accepted that were not very profitable.
But Chen Ziyan suddenly realized now that assigning Lu Yanhe an assistant was not just as simple as assigning an assistant, but also to ensure that he would not be left alone and would not be taken advantage of in the eyes of others.
Although the last time Lu Yanhe was called to a remote riverside location to do something through an anonymous letter when no one was around, who knows how he will do it next time.
You must be on guard now!
