Chapter 431： Lobbyists are coming

Lu Yanhe didn’t know that his eyes had been misunderstood.

Mainly because he has never been misunderstood in this regard, so he himself would not think in this direction for the first time.

Another thing, Lu Yanhe's attention was mainly focused on Zhang Ruozhi, and he didn't pay much attention to the change in Liu Lingmeng's expression.

However, Chen Siqi noticed it.

“…” As a girl, Chen Siqi was of course very aware of Liu Lingmeng’s change in attitude.

You don’t even have to ask to know that Lu Yanhe’s silly look must have been misunderstood.

Chen Siqi felt that she still had an obligation to let others clear up the misunderstanding.

She took the initiative and said to Zhang Ruozhi: "What degree are you in now?"

Zhang Ruozhi said: “I am in my first year of high school now and will be my second year in high school next semester.”

Chen Siqi nodded and said, "Are you interested in being an actor?"

“Huh?” Zhang Ruoyi was stunned.

Liu Lingmeng also looked at her in surprise.

Chen Siqi pointed to Lu Yanhe and said: "He is looking for a heroine for his new movie. Maybe you also saw it in the news."

Liu Lingmeng asked: "Is it the movie where he confessed his love to you on Weibo at night?"

Chen Siqi's cheeks suddenly turned red.

“Yes.” Lu Yanhe said with a smile, “That’s the one.”

Liu Lingmeng breathed a sigh of relief, "I mean, you kept staring at Ruoruo. I thought you were looking at the pot while eating the food in the bowl."

Liu Lingmeng succeeded in embarrassing the other three people present with one sentence.

Lu Yanhe himself blushed greatly.

He explained to Zhang Ruozhi in a panic: "That's not what I meant."

Zhang Ruozhi also lowered his head, embarrassed to look directly into their eyes, and whispered: "Well, I know."

Liu Lingmeng suddenly burst into laughter, "Ruoruo, are you going to be a star? Ah? Then I will be your assistant and my manager in the future!"

 Neither Lu Yanhe nor Chen Siqi expected that the person who was more excited now was not Zhang Ruozhi, but Liu Lingmeng.

Zhang Ruozhi bit his lip and pulled Liu Lingmeng.

She said to Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi: "I, I'm still studying, I have to ask my mother."

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Of course, you can give us your mother's method, and we will make an appointment with her, and then we can officially visit you."

Zhang Ruozhi nodded and took out his mobile phone.

“Then let’s add a friend.” Chen Siqi also took out his mobile phone.

Liu Lingmeng immediately asked: "Can I join you? I promise, I will never harass you casually!"

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi looked at each other and smiled, but did not refuse.

-

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi did not disturb them all the time. After exchanging contact information, they left first.

Liu Lingmeng took Zhang Ruozhi's arm and walked slowly home.

What happened just now was like an adventure, making Liu Lingmeng completely immersed in excitement at this moment.

“Ruoruo, this is great.” Liu Lingmeng said, “You can actually become a star!”

Zhang Ruozhi turned his head and glanced at Liu Lingmeng, but hesitated to speak.

“What’s wrong?” Liu Lingmeng asked.

Zhang Ruozhi said: "I, I don't think my mother will agree."

“Huh?” Liu Lingmeng asked, “Why?”

“My mother’s biggest dream is for me to enter a good university.” Zhang Ruozhi said, “Especially after my father passed away, her obsession became even stronger.”

Liu Lingmeng looked puzzled and asked, "What does your becoming a star have to do with your college entrance examination?"

Zhang Ruozhi: “I will be a sophomore in high school next semester, and it’s not long before the college entrance examination.”

“There are still more than two years!” Liu Lingmeng exclaimed exaggeratedly, “How come it’s not that long?”

Zhang Ruozhi glanced at her silently, lowered his head again, and walked forward silently.

-

Chen Ziyan was helpless.

"Didn't you go to Jiangzhi for vacation? Why did you suddenly meet the heroine in your heart again?"

"Accident, purely accidental, but it is a beautiful accident." Lu Yanhe said to Chen Ziyan on the phone, "Sister Ziyan, really, believe me, if you see her, you will also feel that it is very suitable. "

Chen Ziyan said: "Yan He, you want to find a new person to star in this movie. I also accept your reason and think you are right. However, a serious high school student has never studied acting. She may I’m not used to the camera at all. I can’t even speak in front of the camera.”

Many people think that acting in front of the camera is a simple matter. For non-professional actors, you can think about the difference between yourself and your friends who are very bad at taking pictures.

Many people, who live a variety of lively lives in daily life, seem to freeze when they are in front of the camera, as if they have become a puppet, and they feel uncomfortable.

This is still the most basic, the sense of lens.

Others, from how to move, to how to act, and so on. A pure newcomer will not understand at all.

Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Zi Yan, before filming "Golden Age", I had never filmed a movie."

Chen Ziyan said: "Can it be the same?"

"Sister Ziyan, come to Jiangzhi. You will know when you see her." Lu Yanhe was very sure that Chen Ziyan would like him and fall in love with Zhang Ruozhi.

Chen Ziyan sighed, "You."

“Really, Si Qi also thinks she is particularly suitable.” Lu Yanhe said, “Besides, if you don’t come, I’m not sure I can convince her family to agree to make this movie.”

Chen Ziyan laughed angrily.

“I’m sorry, you want me to come over and be a lobbyist?”

"You are also the producer of this movie, how can you stay out of it." Lu Yanhe said confidently.

Chen Ziyan: “I will divest myself immediately.”

“Then you are still a shareholder of our production company.” Lu Yanhe said immediately.

Chen Ziyan: “…”

Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Ziyan, believe me, Zhang Ruozhi is really suitable for the role of Huai Jingshu."

-

Chen Ziyan certainly does not doubt Lu Yanhe's vision.

She hung up the phone, looked at Wen Minglan sitting opposite her, and sighed with some regret.

“Minglan, you just heard that Lu Yanhe has found the heroine.”

Wen Minglan's face showed obvious regret and disappointment.

"Moreover, you are already famous now, which does not meet Yan He's idea of ​​a heroine in the movie. He wants to find someone unknown to the audience." Chen Ziyan said, "I understand your mood of wanting to make this movie, but , from the script point of view, it is indeed inappropriate.”

Wen Minglan nodded disappointedly.

"All right."

Chen Ziyan looked at the girl who she took a liking to and took under her control.

In recent years, because Lu Yanhe has been so popular that she is often ignored by people, she even has this actress on her hands. Until Wen Minglan became famous with "Six People" and got a name.

Chen Ziyan does not think that she has ignored Wen Minglan because of Lu Yanhe. To be honest, with her connections in the industry, one phone call may be more effective than ten visits from other agents. Not to mention, with a trump card like Lu Yanhe in Chen Ziyan's hands, how much resources can be swapped from the partners for Wen Minglan and Tu Song.

Furthermore, if it had not been for Lu Yanhe at that time, Wen Minglan would not have been able to act in "Six People" and get this opportunity that made her famous.

Chen Ziyan said to Wen Minglan: "Have you read the script I gave you last time?"

Wen Minglan said: "Sister Ziyan, I've finished watching it. I don't really want to act."

“Why?” Chen Ziyan was a little surprised and surprised.

Wen Minglan said: "It is a symbolic vase role with little room for performance."

Chen Ziyan was stunned.

“Minglan, although your role in that movie is not the protagonist, in such a big production with an all-star cast, it is already the second most important role.”

Wen Minglan hesitated and said, "Do you think I should go next?"

"From a work perspective, I think you should take it." Chen Ziyan said bluntly, "Participating in this big-budget movie will add luster to your resume."

Wen Minglan asked: "Can't we win the role of the heroine?"

“That role has already been decided for someone else.”

"who?"

“A new person.” Chen Ziyan said, “We don’t even know him.”

Wen Minglan bit her lip and asked, "Why do you like to use newcomers so much when you are a newcomer?"

Chen Ziyan was a little helpless.

“There must always be some fresh faces in the movie. If it’s just the same people acting all the time, the audience will get tired of watching it.”

Wen Minglan sighed. “Okay, let’s play a supporting actress.”

Wen Minglan still looked a little reluctant.

Chen Ziyan looked at her silently without saying anything. After a few seconds, when Wen Minglan looked confused because of Chen Ziyan's delay in speaking, Chen Ziyan said: "Minglan, you are indeed very popular now. If you want If you want to play a heroine in a movie, you can find a script, but if you want to play a heroine in a top-level film production, it is basically unrealistic. If you are an unknown newcomer, the possibilities are much greater. "

Wen Minglan didn’t understand and asked, “Why?”

"Actually, there is no reason. This industry is like this. Either you reach the top position yourself, or you have to rely on others to reach the top. However, directors always prefer an actor who has not been discovered, especially if the director is a male. When the actor is a woman," Chen Ziyan said, "We don't have to question why this environment is like this. We are all in the environment and can only accept it."

Wen Minglan hesitated for a moment and asked, "So, is this the case even for Yan He?"

"Yan He? No, you are mistaken. The first day Yan He came to me with "Love Letter", he told me very clearly why the heroine in high school should find a new person or someone unknown to the audience. He had a very clear vision for this movie, and I think he was right. Only a face that the audience doesn't know and has rarely seen can allow the audience to take on the role of themselves without any hindrance. If you go to act, the first reaction of the audience will be that you are Chen Wanqiu in "Six People", and the second reaction will be that you are the actor Wen Minglan." Chen Ziyan asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Wen Minglan nodded hesitantly.

"I see."

"It's just that the movie "Love Letter" needs such a heroine, but not every movie needs a heroine who is like a blank piece of paper." Chen Ziyan said, "Minglan, let me tell you the truth, you are famous now. At this stage, I can understand that you want to go further, but you must learn something from Lu Yanhe.”

“What to study?” Wen Minglan asked.

"Honor or disgrace is not a surprise." Chen Ziyan said, "I am never afraid that an artist will not become popular in my hands, but I am very worried that after the artist becomes popular in my hands, he will float away, like a balloon, and may float away. I didn't pay attention and the rope didn't hold it, and it floated away. I have seen many such cases and told you many."

Wen Minglan hesitated for a moment and asked: "Sister Ziyan, I want to act in a movie and be a heroine. Is it wrong?"

"No, it's not." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "But because you wouldn't tell me this before, and there are changes in you, I just reminded you out of concern. In fact, aside from this, I am very I'm glad you took the initiative to come to me to win the heroine of "Love Letter". I've always said that you should take the initiative. This is a good sign."

She laughed, held Wen Minglan's face in her hands, and stroked it gently.

"Your innate qualities are very high. You have a high-end face full of stories. Moreover, you have a natural sense of literature and art, and your aura is like that of a traditional lady. This is your advantage that distinguishes you from other actresses. I Are you afraid that you will be infected and affected by the eagerness for quick success and lose your characteristics? We will never have to rush to play a heroine because your starting point is different from others. If sometimes you feel anxious in your heart, you Just remember that for you, playing a heroine is just a matter of course, and it is not worthy of being your goal. Your goal is to become a top actress like Chen Bige."

Wen Minglan lowered her head with a shy smile.

“I understand, Sister Ziyan, I listen to you.”

"Hmm." Chen Ziyan touched her face again, "Believe me, although this role is indeed a bit of a vase as you said, she is very suitable for you. If you play it well, it will still become your masterpiece."

Wen Minglan nodded.

-

When Chen Ziyan saw this girl named Zhang Ruozhi, she understood at a glance why Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi took a fancy to her.

In this day and age, if you want to find such a girl who looks like she comes from the end of the last century, has a pure temperament and is a little bit simple, perhaps you can only find it in Jiangzhi.

You won’t see this kind of girl in a city like Yuming.

She has no makeup, and her face is bare, but it is full of vitality. Whether it is a smile or a shy expression, it seems to be imprinted on your heart.

Chen Ziyan took a deep breath.

Lu Yanhe turned to look at her, with a smile on his face that said, "Look, I'm not wrong."

Zhang Ruozhi was still a little nervous and uneasy, clasping the cup tightly with both hands.

This is a cafe near the school.

It is noon time now. Lu Yanhe specially sent a message to Zhang Ruozhi and asked her to meet here.

“She is Chen Ziyan, she is my agent and one of the producers of our film. Don’t be nervous.” Lu Yanhe said to Zhang Ruozhi.

Zhang Ruozhi nodded, took a deep breath, and still looked a little nervous.

Chen Ziyan said: "I have already had a preliminary understanding of your situation. Your grades are very good and you are usually a very serious girl."

Zhang Ruozhi looked at her with some surprise.

Chen Ziyan smiled and said: "Before I came to see you, I met with your class teacher first to find out about your situation at school. I was surprised to learn that your grades were so good and you were ranked among the top ten in your grade. ”

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi looked surprised at the same time.

They don’t know about Zhang Ruozhi yet.

Unexpectedly, this girl is actually a top student.

Chen Ziyan: "You must want to get into a good university, right?"

Zhang Ruozhi nodded.

Chen Ziyan said: "If so, based on the admissions situation of your school in previous years, with this score you can probably be admitted to Jiangguang University and other universities of the corresponding level. Siqi is in this school."

Zhang Ruozhi looked at Chen Siqi and nodded.

"Actually, since you were able to study in the top ten of your grade in Jiangzhi Middle School, it means that you must be a very diligent child. If you study in a better middle school, maybe you can get into a better university." Chen Ziyan Said, "I heard that you have some concerns about being an actor, mainly about taking the college entrance examination. I know that for a high school student, the college entrance examination is the most important thing. But I want to say that we can try to stand on the side of Thinking about acting from a broader perspective, life is not just the years of high school, nor is it just a university. As long as your grades are good, there is not much difference between getting admitted this year and getting admitted next year, but there are still opportunities. , but you may only encounter it once in a lifetime.”

Lu Yanhe was so surprised that Chen Ziyan started right now.

Zhang Ruozhi twisted the fingers of both hands.

"I-"

“I know, you want to say that your mother may not agree.”

“Yes, I won’t agree—” Suddenly, a woman’s voice sounded from beside them.

Everyone was startled.

Zhang Ruozhi had the most surprised look on his face. He looked at the woman wearing a long skirt who suddenly appeared and called out "Mom".

It was only then that everyone realized that she was Zhang Ruozhi’s mother.

Zhang's mother glanced at Lu Yanhe and the others, her eyes flickered, and she said with a straight face: "Ruozhi has already told me that you want her to act in a movie. Thank you for your favor for my daughter, but today I I also want to formally tell you here that my daughter will not do anything other than study before taking the college entrance examination, so you should find someone else to act in this movie. "

The tone of the chapter mother has an unexplainable meaning.

Lu Yanhe and the others looked at each other in shock and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

Zhang’s mother said to Zhang Ruozhi: “Ruoruo, go back to school.”

Zhang Ruozhi lowered his head and stood up silently.

Chen Siqi said: "Auntie, can we sit down and have a chat?"

"We have nothing to talk about." Zhang's mother said calmly, "I said, I am very grateful for your kindness and thank you for asking my daughter to act. I know this opportunity is rare, but my daughter is going to take the college entrance examination. I’m going to college.”

Chen Siqi wanted to say something more, but Chen Ziyan stopped her.

Chen Ziyan stood up, smiled at Zhang's mother, and said, "Ruozhi really should go back to school. We only have a small break at noon. I'm sorry to ask you to use the lunch break to meet us. Have you eaten just now?" Do you want them to prepare some snacks for you to take back to the classroom? You are growing up, and you are under a lot of pressure to study every day, so you can't go hungry."

As she said that, she waved her hand.

"Hello-"

Someone is coming.

“Please help us pack two egg yolk cakes and two mung bean cakes.” Chen Ziyan said.

The people in the coffee shop responded and went.

Chen Ziyan smiled at Zhang's mother and Zhang Ruozhi, and said, "Sit down for a while, they will be ready soon. Indeed, we don't want to delay Ruozhi's class, so we invited her out at noon, and the meal was simple. , only ate two pieces of cake.”

Hearing this, Zhang’s mother’s expression softened slightly.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down.

“I’ll pay for these snacks later,” she said.

"Oh, why are you so polite to us? It was originally our appointment." Chen Ziyan said with a smile, "Actually, I can understand your mood. When Yan He was preparing for the exam, I was also very nervous. Basically I didn’t accept any job for him because I wanted him to prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Later, when I found out that he was admitted to Zhenhua University, he gave me a hard fight and I was very happy.”

Zhang's mother looked at Lu Yanhe, her eyes a little softer.

“He must have put in a lot of effort to get into Zhenhua.”

"Indeed, he wakes up early and works hard at night, studying almost every minute." Chen Ziyan said bluntly, "I said this kid is too self-disciplined. I asked him at the time why he could be an artist without a high degree of education. Why? He still has to work so hard to take the college entrance examination, just to get into a good university. He said that because everything is fake and will change, only what is in his own hands is real. After three years of trough Period, he knows that there is nothing better than becoming stronger.”

 Chen Ziyan’s words made Lu Yanhe ashamed.

Zhang's mother said: "He was able to get into Zhenhua under those circumstances. Who among us parents would not be inspired? I think you can understand my feelings, right?"

"Of course." Chen Ziyan nodded, "Actually, if you don't come to us, we will also come to you. If she is not yet an adult, she will not have to say anything about acting. We also want to know how she does it first. I thought I would formally visit you and communicate with you, but I didn’t expect you to come here first.”

Zhang’s mother nodded.

“Ruozhi told me yesterday that he met Lu Yanhe and this little girl and asked her to act in a movie.”

"You must think that your daughter has met a liar, right?" Chen Ziyan covered her mouth and smiled, "These two are also children, very reckless, completely ignorant of the ways of the world, which made you laugh."

Zhang's mother shook her hand, "These two young people are so outstanding, how can they be ridiculous? If I can be half as good as them in the future, I will be satisfied."

Chen Ziyan smiled.

At this time, the snacks were packed and delivered.

“Here we come.” Chen Ziyan took the packaged snacks and put them in Zhang’s mother’s hands. “You can send Ruozhi to school first. We’ll wait for you here.”

“Wait for me?” Zhang’s mother was confused.

Chen Ziyan said: "Didn't you just say that before Ruozhi's college entrance examination, he would never consider anything other than studying? Before, the children themselves were talking. I hope to have a serious chat with you about Ruozhi's future plans. Quan Dang was chatting, just like when Yan He came to me, I didn't expect that this child would grow up to be what he is today. Sometimes, life is really fate. "

Chen Ziyan kept a smile on her lips and exuded a calm and determined spirit.

Zhang's mother glanced at Zhang Ruozhi and nodded hesitantly. (End of chapter)
