Chapter 388
"Zixing, when will you come back after the short film is finished?"
On Monday morning, after Xin Zixin opened his eyes tiredly, he saw Liu Qiao in a I sent her a message hours ago.
It’s only half past eight in the morning.
This is the message Liu Qiao sent her at half past seven.
The short film was shot last night at 3am.
In order to meet the deadline, I had to stay up late to complete the filming.
After the filming, Lu Yanhe left by car late at night. He had to catch up with today's class.
She stopped paying attention to the subsequent finishing work. She was really exhausted and went back to the hotel to sleep.
It takes almost an hour to drive back from the set to the hotel.
She fell asleep deeply as soon as she returned to the room. She didn't know how long it took before Huang Kairen, who came back in another car, took the room card she gave him and swiped in.
Both of them were too tired and did nothing, so they just hugged each other and fell asleep.
As a result, this damn biological clock still made her wake up in a daze, and then she saw such a message.
“…”
Huang Kairen was still asleep, with no sign of waking up at all.
Xin Zixin sent a message back to Liu Qiao and asked, "What's wrong? We didn't finish work until three o'clock in the morning yesterday."
Liu Qiao's call came the next second.
The phone rings.
Xin Zixing hung up the phone in a second and looked back at Huang Kairen.
Huang Kairen seemed not to hear anything. The sound did not disturb his sleep.
Xin Zixing breathed a sigh of relief.
She gently lifted the quilt, got out of bed, went outside, and passed it to Liu Qiao.
"Mr. Liu, what's so urgent?"
Liu Qiao said: "Zixing, let me ask you, have you ever thought about leaving Yemai.com?"
>Xin Zixing had just woken up from his sleep, and everyone was still a little confused. He was suddenly asked by Liu Qiao, and he was stunned for a long time. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time - mainly because he was wondering, why did the news spread so quickly? She hasn't told many people about this matter yet. All she knows are her closest people, so it's impossible for them to leak it.
"No, who said I was leaving Yemai.com?" Fortunately, Xin Zixing had already anticipated such a situation when she was thinking about leaving. She had only thought about how to face it, and it only took her one second. I sorted out my thoughts and said, "Who is spreading rumors about me behind my back?"
Liu Qiao took a deep breath when he heard what Xin Zixing said, "That's good, I thought you were really angry about some of the things before. Got to get carried away. ”
Got carried away?
A question emerged in Xin Zixing's mind: Why did she think Liu Qiao was a pretty good superior who understood her and supported her?
"Come back quickly. This news has spread like wildfire. The company's senior executives are also asking me what's going on. Some people say they want to investigate you."
“Investigation?” Well, how can I still watch you being bullied like this?" Liu Qiao said.
"This is not a matter of bullying or not. I think maybe the company really wants me to leave as soon as possible." Xin Zixin sneered and said.
Liu Qiao: "How come? You are our great hero, who wants you to leave? I will let him go!"
Liu Qiao's tone seemed to be a little angry.
"Maybe I want to do too many things, which makes some people dissatisfied." , I have learned this skill more or less under the influence of my ears and my eyes, "To be honest Yes, I have also felt that I have hit a wall in the past six months, and I can't do anything I want to do. It is completely different from a year ago or two years ago. No matter what I wanted to do before, you would support me. Now..."
Xin Zixing sneered softly and sighed.
"Zixing, you have to understand that a big tree attracts wind." Liu Qiao said, "The achievements you have made now have threatened many people? It is normal for many people to want to suppress you, but you No one can take away your achievements. As long as you hold on, no one can cover up your light.” My grades threaten you too, don't they? -
The moment he heard the bell ringing, Lu Yanhe felt a sense of relief.
He was really, really sleepy. He felt drowsy after listening to the lecture. To be honest, his efforts to cheer up later only prevented him from closing his eyes and falling asleep immediately. In fact, he couldn't listen to what the teacher was saying at all.
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, how did the people he saw in movies, TV series, and novels who were like chicken blood manage to stay up all day and still be energetic the next day? Appeared?
There is no best of both worlds. Human energy is limited. If you take care of one end, you will lose the other end.
Lu Yanhe sighed.
Zhou Mukai asked Lu Yanhe if he wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "I'm too sleepy. I'm going back to the dormitory to sleep."
There were classes in the afternoon, so he could only use the time at noon to catch up on some sleep.
Hearing this, Zhou Mukai nodded, knowing that Lu Yanhe came back early yesterday morning.
"Would you like to bring you a lunch?"
"If you have bread, steamed buns or something, bring one for me. There is no need to bring food. I can sleep a little longer." Lu Yanhe said , "If I can't get up, you must wake me up."
Zhou Mukai smiled and nodded, "Okay."
-
Xiao Jing and Mao Jiayang rarely saw Lu Yanhe taking a nap in the dormitory. This scene shocked them.
Lu Yanhe rarely sleeps in the dormitory. Secondly, Lu Yanhe rarely takes a nap in the dormitory.
Usually at noon, Lu Yanhe would study by himself in the library or in an outside classroom.
Mao Jiayang and Xiao Jing also talked about this in private, saying that it was no wonder Lu Yanhe was successful. Successful people are very energetic, and those who lack energy have long been eliminated.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe was woken up by Zhou Mukai.
Lu Yanhe sat up with a troubled face and looked under the bed at a loss.
The lights in the dormitory were dark, and everyone only turned on their desk lamps in their respective seats.
"I have to go to class. I'm at Zijiao in the afternoon. It's a bit far, so I have to leave early." Zhou Mukai said.
Lu Yanhe let out a long yawn and let out an ooh.
Mao Jiayang asked: "Boss, what time did you go to bed last night?"
"I...I finished shooting at three o'clock, and then slept all the way in the car, waking up. Yes, I don’t know how long I slept.” Lu Yanhe said.
"It's hard work, tsk tsk, you are a role model for our generation." Mao Jiayang sighed jokingly, "It's too easy to get involved as a roommate with you. Every time when I want to be lazy, I think of you. , I don’t dare to stop.”
“But don’t, I want to stop. I didn’t have time to come down, but I didn’t dare to stop because I was afraid that if I didn’t seize the opportunity at this time, I wouldn’t be able to get any opportunities in the future,” Lu Yanhe said, “If I didn’t have those fleeting opportunities, I wouldn’t give them to myself. After so many things, it’s so good to have a good balance between work and rest.”
Mao Jiayang: "Damn, I thought you really liked to be busy, and couldn't stand that every minute of your time was wasted. I was still thinking, bosses are bosses, and we are all fighting against our own laziness. At that time, you completely overcame the weaknesses of human nature and rushed forward every day."
"Please don't establish such an image of me outside."
Mao Jiayang laughed loudly. laugh.
Mao Jiayang asked: "Do you still have a job in the future?"
"Not yet." Lu Yanhe said, "Originally, I didn't take on too many jobs this semester. This short film is a temporary job. Yes, it will still be very busy later, but there won’t be so many things to do elsewhere.”
Mao Jiayang nodded.
"I also want to ask you, when will you go to my hometown to film your program "City Travels"?" Mao Jiayang asked, "My parents really want you to come there and keep asking When will we go to play together?"
"Do you want this show to be filmed at your place, or do you want Yan He to go to your place to play?" Xiao Jing asked.
Mao Jiayang said: "Of course I hope all of them, and it's not just him, my parents have always wanted you all to come to our place to play."
Lu Yanhe said: "I I've told the program team about your place a long time ago, but I don't know if it's a matter of arrangement. I've never had any plans to shoot in Dongbin. I'll ask again. However, if everyone has time, we can go there by ourselves first. Let’s play in Dongbin.”
Mao Jiayang said: "Our place doesn't look good in the winter. Let's go next summer. There will be things to eat, see and play."
Xiao Jing: "Next summer, we will all be finished our junior year. You’re going to be a senior, do you have time?”
Mao Jiayang said: “I’ve decided to do it. If I decide to go to graduate school, my grades should be guaranteed by this school. What about you? "
"Me too," Xiao Jing said, "I am also planning to go to graduate school, but I may go to Yuming. I have worked more with Teacher Yuming Zhang Ting and I want to do it with him.”
Zhou Mukai: “I haven’t decided yet”
Lu Yanhe said: "Me too, I didn't think about it well."
As a dormitory with top students, the four people in their dormitory all maintain good grades. Of course, Lu Yanhe's grades are slightly weaker, and it's still unclear whether he can get a place for graduate school - his grade point ranking can only be considered average in the college, and he is on the fringe of graduate school.
In fact, Lu Yanhe has been repeatedly struggling with the question of whether to go to graduate school.
He has basically made it clear that he will definitely develop in the entertainment industry in the future. For him, getting a master's degree is optional. It’s just that Lu Yanhe feels that there is no harm in reading more books. If conditions permit, the more books you read, the more you will accumulate, and you will have a more solid understanding of culture, literature, art, aesthetics, and characters. basis of understanding.
However, going to graduate school means that classes will continue to affect his work in acting, which means that problems like last night and today will appear frequently. Should learning influence acting, or should acting influence learning?
It’s hard to get the best of both worlds.
At this time, a very unexpected phone rang.
It turned out to be Liu Qiao, the content editor of Yemai.com.
No, it’s Mr. Liu now.
Lu Yanhe was really confused about this sudden call.
Xin Zixing usually contacts him on Yemai.com. Although Liu Qiao has contact information, they usually only greet each other during holidays and have no more communication.
"Hello, Mr. Liu?" Lu Yanhe answered the phone and greeted him somewhat unexpectedly. Liu Qiao smiled and said: "Yan He, are you at school?"
Lu Yanhe: "Yes."
"I came to your school to visit a Professor, do you want to have dinner with Professor Zhao Dezhong later?”
Zhao Dezhong is a highly respected professor in the School of Liberal Arts. He is also very influential in the industry and has a high academic status.
Lu Yanhe was surprised and didn’t know why Liu Qiao came to visit Professor Zhao Dezhong.
However, after all, he is a professor in his own college, and Lu Yanhe also admires Professor Zhao Dezhong. If he has the opportunity to have dinner with him, Lu Yanhe will certainly agree.
-
In the evening, Lu Yanhe arrived at the restaurant ten minutes early.
The hotel is in the school, and it is a hotel contracted by someone else.
When he arrived, Professor Zhao Dezhong had not arrived yet, and Liu Qiao was the only one in the private room.
"Mr. Liu." Lu Yanhe smiled and said hello.
Liu Qiao stood up to greet Lu Yanhe enthusiastically and said, "What are you doing at this age? Just call me Brother Qiao."
Lu Yanhe smiled and called him Brother Qiao in a good-natured manner.
For this kind of face-related matter, Lu Yanhe doesn't have any mental disorder and refuses to shout or anything. It's just a matter of title. If others want to show closeness by calling him, then just get close to him.
Anyway, what is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.
Liu Qiao said: "I have told Zi Xing a long time ago that I want to invite you out to talk about cooperation, but you are also very busy and it is difficult to make time. This time I came to Zhenhua to visit Professor Zhao. I heard Zi Xing said you came back to class today, so I tried to make an appointment with you. , see if you can come."
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, I have been working with Yemai.com for such a long time, and Sister Zi Xing has also helped me a lot, so there is no need between us. So polite.”
Liu Qiao. Nodding, "Zixing and you have indeed maintained a very good relationship. Our Yemai Network has achieved such results thanks to your unremitting publicity and in-depth cooperation. I know this very well in my heart. I didn't take advantage of you last time." I am also very angry about using spokespersons for marketing, but you have to believe that Zi Xing and I are firmly opposed to this matter. After this incident happened, we both raised severe objections to it in the company. , this will never happen again.”
Lu Yanhe smiled and said: "Brother Qiao, my problem is on the one hand. What I didn't expect is that even the relationship between Sister Zi Xing and Brother Kai Ren can be used for marketing. We are artists, and we are used I’m here to entertain everyone. Even though I don’t want to, I have to accept it. Sister Zi Xing didn’t take any advantage. The advantages of being a public figure, and you, Yemai.com, are also being used in this way, which makes me more or less... let me put it bluntly, I am a little wary of you. In business, it is true that interests are important, but there is also the world. Morality. If we really only care about interests and not morality, why should I continue to do so? The electronic version of "Jump Up" is placed on your Yemai website. Our cooperation is for a one-year contract. Is there no other platform that offers a higher price? I believe you know it even if I don't tell you. Such cooperation, whether it is "City Travels" or a short film like this time with director Wang Zhong Whether it’s a movie or not, to put it bluntly, we trust you because we have had happy cooperation before. If it’s really about business, Yemai.com is not the most sincere merchant.”
Lu Yanhe said something harsh. The knife cut softly, and the heart-wrenching words entered Liu Qiao's ears inch by inch.
Liu Qiao had a bitter smile on his face.
“Well, I also know that I really have a hard time talking about this matter.”
Lu Yanhe blinked his eyes in surprise and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, as if Asking: "What hardships do you have to say?"
Liu Qiao was stunned.
He did not expect that Lu Yanhe would act out of common sense.
At this time, shouldn't you add a sentence or two to express your sympathy for his "suffering" situation?
Oh, he is still a child after all.
Liu Qiao sighed silently in his heart.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would only sigh, he is only 21 years old, how can he still be an adult?
Okay, you can be considered an adult. But it’s not an exaggeration to pretend to be a college student who is inexperienced in the world.
Liu Qiao smiled, still a little bitter, and added, "Although I am also in charge of the content business now, the company's strategic deployment is not just about me. It’s not like I have the final say on everything.”
Lu Yanhe frowned slightly and said, “That’s it, I thought I was in Yemai.com. As long as you have a good relationship with Mr. Liu, no matter what happens, Mr. Liu, you don’t need to contact anyone else. In fact, I am just familiar with Yemai.com, so I am a little lazy and don’t want to talk to anyone else. The platform will then establish new cooperative relationships.”
Liu Qiao was so choked by Lu Yanhe’s words that he didn’t know what to say.
"Of course your matter is different, Yan He. What you have with our Yemai.com goes beyond an ordinary cooperative relationship. To the users of Yemai.com, you are almost intertwined with Yemai.com over the years. Yours There is a lot of overlap between fans and users of Yemai.com. In my case, "Our website, your support rate and user favorability are unparalleled," Liu Qiao said, "Apart from our Yemai.com, it will be difficult for you to find another website that has such a high degree of overlap with your fan base. website.”
In fact, Liu Qiao was right.
Indeed.
For Lu Yanhe, his cooperation with Yemai.com is almost difficult to replicate.
When the two parties began to cooperate, it was when the wind started to rise, and each other was integrated into each other's development route, until where it is now.
This experience cannot be replicated.
Just like an artist, when do his fans become the most enthusiastic?
When your career is on the rise, it’s like working hard and struggling with your idol - watching him fight monsters and upgrade all the way to the top.
That was a period of time.
Today, Lu Yanhe has reached a certain height, and he can no longer gain a group of fans who watched him step by step from the live broadcast room to today and participated in the entire rise.
They are different from other fans after all.
So, the core meaning of Liu Qiao’s words is here.
Of course the leaf vein network needs Lu Yanhe. But doesn’t Lu Yanhe need a leaf vein net? Don't they have a symbiotic relationship?
If Lu Yanhe loses the platform of Yemai.com, it does not mean that he will lose many, many fans, but it means that he will lose a large fan gathering place, and it is a long-term and fixed one. Gathering place.
Lu Yanhe smiled slightly at Liu Qiao and said: "Brother Qiao, Sister Ziyan once said to me that good cooperation must be mutual recognition, mutual respect and mutual promotion. Before, Yemai.com and I We have indeed achieved this, right? But can we continue to do this in the future? Xin, if Yemai.com were in charge of you, there would never be anything like using my refusal to be a spokesperson for marketing because you respect me. But, Brother Qiao, if Yemai.com was in charge of people who didn’t respect me, I think I can’t swallow my anger just because you respect me, what do you think?”
At this time, Liu Qiao completely put away the impression that Lu Yanhe was just a child.
"I heard Zi Xing say before that you were hesitant about going to graduate school." Liu Qiao immediately changed the topic with a smile, "Professor Zhao actually plans to bring a graduate student this year. Maybe you and Zhao If you have a good exchange with the professor, you will gain something."
Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment, and then he felt relieved -
It turned out that this meal was waiting for him here tonight.
-
Xin Zixin sneered and raised the corners of his mouth.
Huang Kairen is sitting opposite her.
They had dinner together tonight and found a new restaurant to try something new.
When I first sat down, a camera flash that I forgot to turn off flashed from time to time next to me.
Huang Kairen and Xin Zixin were used to it and pretended not to see it.
Anyway, it has been made public, so everyone can take photos of it.
Huang Kairen and Xin Zixing are not too shy about this.
Of course, the service in the restaurant is still quite good. Especially since Huang Kairen's visit to this restaurant is a big drawcard, they certainly don't want Huang Kairen to have a bad dining experience here. Therefore, without Huang Kairen's request, the restaurant manager took the initiative to ask two waiters to carry a screen over, creating a relatively independent and closed space for them to isolate them from the surrounding eyes.
Thanks to this screen, Huang Kairen didn’t have to worry too much about talking to Xin Zixin.
After all, nowadays, many people even take pictures and ask someone to analyze their mouth movements to see what they say.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the sneer on Xin Zixing's lips, he asked.
Xin Zixing put down her phone and said, "Liu Qiao went to see Yan He at night. Yan He just complained to me."
Huang Kairen frowned slightly.
"What do you mean? Is Liu Qiao overstepping your bounds and wanting to contact Lu Yanhe directly?"
"Maybe, after all, Yemai.com can accept my leaving, but it cannot accept Lu Yanhe's. Leave." Xin Zixing said, "This is the one behind the scenes. That's not a good point. The explicit value is not highlighted, and the ability is strong. In the eyes of the senior management, it is still just a replaceable mule. No matter how capable a mule is, it is just a mule. People will only hope that it can work more and longer. , instead of letting the mule take over.”
Huang Kairen asked: "Is Liu Qiao sure that you will leave the Yemai Network?"
"Whether I leave the Yemai Network or not, he has already begun to weaken my sense of existence." Xin Zixing said , "If it hadn't been for what he said to me, I still wouldn't have understood it. , I always felt that it was Zuo Yu who was targeting me and blocking my way. Now think about it, without Liu Qiao’s acquiescence, how could I have completely lost ground in my career in the past six months and received nothing? Support? The big tree attracts the wind and threatens people. He told me so much that day The most important thing is these two sentences. "
Huang Kairen: "It's okay, losing you is his loss, and it is also Yemaiwang's loss."
"Believe it or not, wait. The day I left Ye Vein Network was the day Ye Vein Network started to take advantage of my story with you. This is the beginning of a massive marketing campaign to attract traffic. "
"Since they want to market us to attract traffic, why should we let his family take advantage of it?" Huang Kairen said, "Then let him accept the 17 or 18 media outlets. Exclusive interview to see where he started in marketing.”
Xin Zixing looked at him in shock.
"Why don't you die of exhaustion?"
"It's better than you dying of suffocation." Huang Kairen said, "They will take advantage by then. With your character, you won't be upset at night. It’s strange that I can’t sleep.”
Huang Kairen hit the nail on the head.
Xin Zixing was too embarrassed to refute.
It's true.
Xin Zixing said: "Do you know what bad move Liu Qiao used?"
"What bad move?"
"I mentioned it to him before , Yan He has not yet decided whether he wants to go to graduate school, so he invited a great professor from Yan He College to come over. Expressing his willingness to recruit Yan He as a graduate student, Xin Zixing said, "Originally Yan He was still hesitant about whether to go to graduate school, but after tonight's interview, he declined the professor directly, saying that he would not consider going to graduate school for the time being, and would pursue a career in acting. It’s important.”
Huang Kairen was stunned.
"Just refused?"
Xin Zixing said: "Yan He's character is like this. You should never irritate him. Even though he looks kind and gentle, he is also sincere and kind to others. He is really irritating. As for him, he doesn’t care about your interests, he would rather live with you than live in ruins.”
Huang Kairen then realized that Xin Zixin knew Lu Yanhe far better than he did.
Huang Kairen was inexplicably jealous.
"You... know Yan He so well?"
"Look at how many projects I have collaborated with him on. Different jobs mean different experiences. Of course I know him well." Xin Zixing stared at Huang Kairen, "Don't make me jealous."
