Become famous another day

"The main role in an S-class production, as long as it's not Ichiban, you choose."

The man who sat in front of Chen Ziyan at nine o'clock in the morning had some white hair on his temples, but he was still energetic and had a sense of majesty and calmness that had been on top for a long time.

The tone of his words felt like the strong wind, and no emotion or attitude could be heard.

Chen Ziyan silently listened to the other person's words while also sizing him up. She came to the conclusion that the father and son looked very different.

If Xu Handian is an impulsive, irritable, simple and superficial idiot, Xu Bin is a middle-aged man who is as hard as iron and has a temperament that reflects the style he has experienced in the army.

Chen Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "Why is Xu Tai so polite?"

"Young people don't speak secretly, Miss Zi Yan." Xu Bin said, "That's the end of the matter, how about it?"

Chen Ziyan: "Xutai, I think you also know that the key to whether the matter ends here is not me, but your son's attitude and behavior."

Xu Bin nodded, tapped his fingers on the armrests of the chair, and said, "Miss Ziyan, he will not disturb you again in the future. Don't worry about this. I have already taught him a lesson."

Chen Ziyan nodded, "In that case, I'll wait for Xu Tai to send me the script."

After sending Xu Bin away, Chen Ziyan put away the smile on her face.

As a result, before I even sat down, someone knocked on the door.

The person who came turned out to be Hong Qi.

As the executive CEO, Hong Qi rarely appears in the company. Vice President Ma is in charge. Chen Ziyan has not seen Hong Qi much in the past six months.

"How come Mr. Hong is free to come to my place today?" Chen Ziyan joked with a smile.

Hong Qi smiled and said, "Director Xu Bin came to see you just now?"

"Mr. Hong is very well-informed."

"I met him at the elevator entrance." Hong Qi asked, "Is it because of the recent incident with Xu Handian?"

Chen Ziyan nodded.

"Your methods are as sharp as ever." Hong Qi raised his lips, "I came here today because I have something to ask you for help. I have a friend whose son wants to become a star. People have heard about it. Your name, I want to ask you to help me. If you are willing, I am willing to pay you an annual salary of 10 million, how about it? Are you tempted?"

When Chen Ziyan heard this, she rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Not interested."

"I knew what you meant." Hong Qi said, and sat directly on the chair, put his hands on the back of the chair, looked at Chen Ziyan, and said: "After so many years, your temper has not changed at all, nor has it changed." Ask who it is? Someone who can pay you an annual salary of tens of millions as soon as you ask him, but he doesn’t lack money at all, and he only has one son."

"It's none of my business." Chen Ziyan said, "Although I don't have an annual salary of tens of millions, I don't need money that much. It's rare to stand free in life."

"Okay." Hong Qi shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "You would rather take care of Tu Song, a person with no talent, than make some money. I really don't understand, but there is nothing I can do. I can’t understand your behavior.”

"Since you know everything, why are you asking?"

"You always have to walk through the cutscenes." Hong Qi smiled, "After all, the other party's surname is also Chen."

Chen Ziyan's eyes suddenly became sharper and she looked at Hong Qi.

"What did you say?"

"Chen Shen." Hong Qi waved his hand, "You should know him, Lan Yuan's boss."

Upon hearing this name, Chen Ziyan's sharp eyes disappeared again.

"Not interested." Chen Ziyan regained her composure, "Isn't his son studying in the United States? If he doesn't take over his family's business when he comes back, why is he in the entertainment industry?"

Hong Qi: "Young people are attracted by the colorful entertainment circle and want to have some fun. With just such a son, Chen Shen is happy to make his son happy."

"When did you and Chen Shen become so familiar?"

"I bought a piece of land with him a year ago, and I just changed hands and made a fortune not long ago." Hong Qi said, "Those who are not familiar with it will become familiar after we make some money together."

Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at Hong Qi speechlessly, "When will you be able to do your job properly and take more care of this company?"

"Isn't Ma Zhongquan well-controlled? He doesn't dare to go against you, does he?"

"This has nothing to do with whether he is going against me or not. He has almost turned Star Entertainment into a training center for idol artists. In the future, our company will transform and go into idol artists, right?" Chen Ziyan said , "Now most of the artists in the company are idol artists, actors and singers all stand back, and not long ago we signed several Internet celebrities."

"What does it matter? As long as you can make money." Hong Qi said, "This era is changing, and the entertainment industry is also changing. I know that there is a chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, and idol artists are at the lower end of the chain. Now there is another network. Being popular is not as popular as an idol artist. However, we are here to run a company and do business. We want high-end people who can make money while standing up, as well as lower-class people who bend down or even kneel to make money. Your thinking is too old-school and needs to be changed. change."

Chen Ziyan: "I don't care what kind of company you want to make Star Entertainment into. I don't care whether this company lives or dies. I just advise you. Some people think they have caught the next trend and can take off with it. , so raise a lot of pigs, but the pigs that have not caught up with the wind will not be able to fly, so don’t end up in a situation where their tails are too big to fall off.”

Chen Ziyan has been with Xingyu for several years, but she did not join Xingyu from the beginning.

She has a transcendent status in Xingyu because she is one of the company's veterans, and also because of her legendary personal relationship with the company boss.

She said she didn't care whether this company was dead or alive. Of course she rushed here in a hurry. It's impossible not to care at all.

But really speaking, Chen Ziyan's career, wealth and life were not tied to this company. The company really collapsed, and she was just a little sad because a company that was related to her life ended.

Whether Hong Qi listened to these words or not, she just said them once.
-

During the day in Jiangzhi, Lu Yanhe followed Xin Zixing and the others around the city, eating, drinking, and checking in at many places.

But the news that he was recording a show in Jiangzhi did spread. Many people came after hearing the news. Almost everywhere Lu Yanhe went, many people followed him.

Xin Zixing and the others are originally a small team. Unlike the crew of a large variety show, they have strict security throughout the filming.

By the end, more and more people were watching the shooting.

There was no choice but to temporarily adjust the shooting plan at several shooting locations.

"All exterior scenes were shot with empty shots, and Yan He's part was shot indoors." Xin Zixing made a decision quickly.

Because there was no experience, everyone spent a lot of time on transitions and other things.

Lu Yanhe himself felt that the schedule was a bit rushed.

In his understanding, this program should be about relaxing and slowly visiting a city, rather than introducing various things to everyone by checking in.

It's not a Travel Channel show.

In the afternoon, Lu Yanhe found Xin Zixing and raised his doubts.

Xin Zixing also knew that what Lu Yanhe said was right.

She was in a hurry along the way and was always disturbed by onlookers. During the entire filming, she and Lu Yanhe were very disturbed, including during lunch. They also felt deeply tired and couldn't even speak. I don't want to talk, but I still have to work up the energy to talk and chat. I can't let the meal be too silent and quiet, making it look boring.

Lu Yanhe said: "Let's take a rest first and forget about recording. I also feel that my condition is very bad. This is not acting. There is no script for me to mobilize my emotions. I need to strengthen my spirit and state." I think it’s not good to appear on camera in this state, and people won’t want to see it.”

Is it because the first issue of Langhua has a good reputation because they captured all the most interesting places in the city of Langhua?

No, but everyone really likes the style of leisurely wandering and exploring in the city presented in the show.

Therefore, they didn't even make much preparation at all. Basically, they didn't know what they would shoot, what they would encounter, and what would happen. The films produced under such circumstances are loved by everyone because they are vivid, natural and real.

When filming, Lu Yanhe didn't have any psychological pressure or burden. He just treated it as a very ordinary trip. He walked around everywhere without any tasks. He didn't think about visiting all the interesting places. He was tired. Just rest, sit quietly for a while if you don't want to talk, and chat and laugh with Xin Zixing and the others when the mood comes.

The relaxation I felt at that time was completely different from today’s shooting experience—even from yesterday’s shooting experience.

Lu Yanhe felt that the main reason was that he was shooting with a mission today.

Lu Yanhe found a small shop nearby to sit down, bought a popsicle, and ate it silently.

Many people gathered around and greeted him.

Lu Yanhe responded to them with a smile.

There was still a camera filming him, but it was farther away.

Xu Chao stood next to Chen Liang and followed Chen Liang to look at Lu Yanhe.

He asked in a low voice: "Brother Liang, do you want to go and ask those fans away?"

Chen Liang: "It's okay, we'll be in charge of photography."

Xu Chao said oh.

Xin Zixing was thinking about how to proceed with the filming alone. When he looked up, he saw that Lu Yanhe was already chatting with the fans around him.

The sun shines freely.

Lu Yanhe was surrounded by some people, but it didn't seem crowded or noisy, but rather harmonious.

Some people took pictures of him with their mobile phones, and some just looked at him.

Lu Yanhe did not resist and chatted with everyone with a smile. “How old are you?” Lu Yanhe asked a girl with a ponytail.

"Seventeen." said the girl.

"Senior year of high school?"

"Well, I'll be in my senior year of high school as soon as school starts." The girl laughed, her eyes curled up like crescent moons. She looks very ordinary, but the bright smile on her face is as clear as a stream.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Then you still don't study hard? Why do you keep following me?"

The girl said: "I like you very much. It's rare for you to come to Jiangzhi. I want to meet you today. I usually work hard."

"You'd better not lie to me." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

"I'm not lying to you, I'm telling the truth." The girl said seriously.

……

Lu Yanhe rested for more than 20 minutes.

Xin Zixing came to him at this time.

The two people got in the car and talked in the car.

Chen Liang asked if he wanted to get in the car with a camera.

He heard the whole conversation between Lu Yanhe and Xin Zixin just now, and knew that what the two of them were going to talk about now was how to shoot later.

Xin Zixin thought for a while and said, "No need."

They were the only two people in the car.

Xin Zixing said: "Yan He, I just thought about it carefully and I think you are right. I plan to take my time for the rest of the trip. You can see where you want to go. We will follow you according to your wishes." Shoot, do whatever makes you feel comfortable."

Lu Yanhe: "That doesn't have to be like this. I don't have any objection to your arrangements. I just don't think you should follow the same schedule as before. You can take any class at any time. The half hour break just now made me feel very happy. It’s comfortable, especially when chatting with everyone. I think people will like it if this kind of content is included in the program, because it’s not arranged in advance, it just happens naturally.”

When Xin Zixing saw Lu Yanhe chatting and laughing with the fans around him just now, she actually felt that that scene was what "City Travel" wanted to appear.

"City Travels" is not only about the city, but also about the relationship between people and the city, and the city and people. The city will ultimately fall on people.

It was at that moment that Xin Zixing suddenly realized why neither she nor Lu Yanhe were interested in the previous filming, because the previous filming only had locations, only tasks, no interaction between people, and no feelings behind humanity.
-

The lantern stepping event is held at night.

After Lu Yanhe talked with Xin Zixing, the filming of the show changed.

All their subsequent itineraries were cancelled, and they decided to wait slowly for the evening.

It's also nice to be a little more laid back.

Lu Yanhe invited everyone to go to a nearby teahouse to drink tea. One had a fixed camera position, the other was carried by the photographer, and everyone sat together.

Surrounded by locals.

Lu Yanhe and Xin Zixing were sitting together.

Xin Zixing is the only one who often appears with Lu Yanhe.

Many people came into the teahouse to watch the people taking photos. The teahouse owner was shocked, with joy on his face, excited and happy for the sudden good business.

Lu Yanhe looked at the young men and women around him, and suddenly remembered the "lantern stepping" tonight, and asked curiously: "Will you participate in the "lantern stepping" activity tonight?"

The young man next to him looked at each other in confusion when asked by Lu Yanhe. The extrovert already answered, "The person I like doesn't like me, so what's the point of participating?"

"That's right." Another person also sighed, "Last year I gave a lantern to the boy I liked, but he refused to accept it, which made me very embarrassed."

"Nowadays, only people who like each other but are embarrassed to express their feelings would go out with lanterns on this day."

Several people were talking to each other, and their words showed that they did not intend to participate in this event.

Lu Yanhe was surprised and said, "Didn't it say that most young people from Jiangzhi will participate?"

"Those are those who haven't been in love yet. Sister, I'm already twenty-seven, how can I expect this." A woman with sunglasses pushed up on her head and exquisite makeup said.

"Then why did you come back from leave today?" a girl next to her who seemed to be her friend asked immediately.

"I-I haven't been back to see my parents for a while, so I came back to see them."

"Just kidding, you must have heard that Liu Ziyang came back from abroad, so you came back specifically, right?"

The girl with sunglasses lost control of her expression. She looked at her friend in disbelief and reached out to cover her mouth.

This scene made everyone around laugh.

Lu Yanhe also laughed.

Okay, this is simply duplicity.

At this moment, Xin Zixing said in surprise: "He Yunlan and Liu Yiyi agreed to come together tonight."

Hearing this, Lu Yanhe also laughed in surprise.

"Are they willing?"

“Yes.”

Lu Yanhe imagined the scene that would happen in the evening and said, "I'm looking forward to Jiang Zhi tonight."
-

In the evening, it was another dusk with twilight all around and the sunset glowing like satin.

He Yunlan and Liu Yiyi met everyone at a restaurant.

He Yunlan was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He looked like he had just finished work and came in a hurry.

But Xiao Mei immediately sighed with emotion: "Here I go, men in white shirts are indeed much more handsome than usual."

Lu Yanhe turned to look at Xiao Mei, a little surprised that she dared to say anything, without the reserve of an ordinary girl.

Everyone sat together to eat again.

"Where did you go shopping in Jiangzhi today?" He Yunlan asked with a smile.

Xin Zixing said: "We went to Baigan Pagoda, Mother and Son Bridge, ate at Dongzi Street at noon, and spent the afternoon shopping on Chunxi Road."

Lu Yanhe said: "It is very livable here, the food is delicious, and the city feels very leisurely. Everyone is not in a hurry."

He Yunlan nodded and said: "Indeed, we do have a lot of delicious food here. Originally, we were thinking of inviting you to come to our house and we would cook you a table of authentic Jiangzhi home-cooked dishes, but your schedule is quite complicated. I’m busy, please come again next time you have a chance.”

When Lu Yanhe heard this, his eyes instantly lit up.

"Huh? I want to eat!"

Liu Yiyi asked: "When are you leaving tomorrow? I heard Yun Lan say you are leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have another job the day after tomorrow, so I have to rush back as soon as possible." Lu Yanhe said helplessly.

"We can only find opportunities next time." He Yunlan said.

Lu Yanhe nodded.
-

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Yanhe took the lanterns prepared by Xin Zixing and others and went out together.

As soon as he went out, Lu Yanhe discovered that the entire city had undergone tremendous changes from the daytime.

Under night, walking on the road, you can see people holding lanterns everywhere, mostly young people.

Not only that, many people put on ancient costumes, including ethnic minority costumes and Hanfu. In an instant, they looked graceful and graceful.

When everyone saw the camera, they happily waved and said hello to the camera.

Rather than traveling alone, there are more people traveling in pairs, chatting and laughing, and looking like classmates or friends.

Lu Yanhe walked among them, silent for a long time.

He was shocked by the scene before him.

Especially the expressions of nervousness and anticipation on everyone's faces, so green and so clear.

Lu Yanhe thought to himself, does his face also have the same greenness? (End of chapter)
