Chapter 193 Look at Lu's comprehension!

Ever since he found out that Lu Yanhe was sitting in his car, the driver kept talking excitedly the rest of the way, mostly about how his child was studying.

Lu Yanhe also felt a bit bittersweet, never expecting that he had reached the point where other parents considered him someone who could talk about parenting.

"..."

The key issue is that Lu Yanhe really didn't know how to answer many of the questions.

Reading, studying, and working hard are his personal matters. Lu Yanhe doesn't know how to inspire others to have the same motivation.

He had a natural sense of urgency—the unease that comes from a time traveler.

However, no one else has it.

Why do people study so hard?

Everyone has different reasons.

Lu Yanhe couldn't help others find their reasons.

When they arrived at the dinner location, the driver parked the car on the side of the road and excitedly got out to take a photo with Lu Yanhe.

Chen Liang never turned off the camera; it was constantly being pointed at Lu Yanhe.

After taking the group photo and finally getting rid of the obviously overly excited driver, they entered the restaurant.

A restaurant that looks very ordinary from the outside is called "No. 49 East".

After Lu Yanhe and his group went inside, they attracted the attention of the people in the store.

Even the shop assistants couldn't help but look over.

However, right now, any popular restaurant during peak mealtimes will definitely have online celebrities live-streaming their restaurant reviews.

Everyone's gotten used to it.

The atmosphere only changed when they discovered that one of the people who came in was a celebrity.

The restaurant owners all rushed over.

"Hello boss, I'm Xin Zixing. I contacted you by phone before." Xin Zixing greeted him.

Learning from the experience at Jiangqiao Bookstore, Xin Zixing called the restaurant owner that afternoon to discuss the filming arrangements for that evening.

When the boss heard that the artist being filmed was Lu Yanhe, he immediately agreed and was very enthusiastic, even reserving a space for them.

The owner was going to prepare a table of dishes for them, but Xin Zixing immediately shook her head and refused, saying, "Our documentary aims to present the most authentic version of things, so we'll just order on the spot."

Chen Liang set up the camera behind the dining table, changed the batteries, and said, "Is it okay to film like this?"

Xin Zixin nodded.

Chen Liang arranged two camera positions: one to shoot a panoramic view of the entire dining table, and the other to shoot a close-up of Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe asked curiously, "Is Brother Liang a photographer who is exclusively contracted with Yemai.com?"

“Yes.” Xin Zixing nodded. “When we built Yemai.com, we mainly focused on text, photos and videos. However, these two types of content were mainly provided by users. Our website needed a professional photographer to shoot some specific themes. I specifically recruited Chen Liang from the school.”

Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Liang in surprise, "Brother Liang, you just graduated not long ago?"

The main reason is that Xin Zixing doesn't look very old.

Chen Liang said, "It's been three years since I graduated."

Xin Zixing said, "At the time, quite a few companies were interested in Chen Liang. It took me a lot of effort to get him signed to our Yemai.com. Initially, he was there to help me with street photography. I work in the fashion industry, and I spend several days a week waiting in the busiest areas to find people with great style to photograph. I need a photographer like him. Later, I occasionally started doing some humanistic themes, and I always asked him for help. His skills are excellent."

Liu Yaliang nodded and said, "Chen Liang takes such good photos of us. Sigh, I really wish I looked like that in Chen Liang's photos."

Xin Zixing was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

She turned to look at Lu Yanhe: "Yanhe, have you ever made a documentary like this before?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "No."

Even the original body was never photographed.

Xin Zixing said, "There are very few documentaries like this in China. There used to be many such programs, but they have gradually decreased in the last ten years."

“Yes, I remember when I was a kid I used to watch those shows where people would go from street to street looking for restaurants. I would watch them eat so deliciously on the show, and I would get really hungry myself,” Lu Yanhe said. “Now it seems like I don’t see those kinds of shows anymore.”

"This trip to Langhua has left a deep impression on me," Xin Zixing said. "It's not far from Yuming, only a three or four-hour drive away, but in my previous impression, it was a city where film crews often came to shoot movies because of the film and television shooting base, but the economy wasn't very developed. This time, I often felt like I was in a completely different world. Walking into a very ordinary alley, you can see small shops selling handicrafts, as well as small bars with less modern decorations. I don't know if you've been to a shop called Li Saozi Rice Wine, their rice wine is all brewed by themselves, and it's incredibly delicious."

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "I haven't tried it yet, I have to give it a shot."

"Yeah." Xin Zixing nodded.

At this moment, the owner personally led the waiters to serve the dishes.

"Wow!" Liu Yaliang's eyes lit up. "It looks amazing!"

The owner immediately beamed and said, "We've been doing this for over ten years, and the taste is known throughout the neighborhood."

Lu Yanhe handed out chopsticks to everyone, saying, "I'm really hungry, let's try some first."

He first served himself a bowl of soup. The soup was fish soup, milky white, and had an enticing aroma. After taking a sip, he felt warm from his throat to his lungs.

"Delicious!" Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up. "You guys should try this fish soup, it's incredibly fresh!"

Xin Zixing: "Then I'll serve each of you a bowl."

It tasted really good, but I was also really hungry.

-

Xin Zixing and the others didn't finish until 11 p.m.

"Sister Zixing, which hotel did you book?" Liu Yaliang asked. "Let's book together."

Xin Zixing said, "You might need to book a hotel nearby. I'm staying at the hotel where Lu Yanhe and his crew stayed. They didn't have any extra rooms yesterday, and I doubt they'll be able to today either. I'll send you the address; you can search for nearby hotels."

Liu Yaliang nodded and said okay.

Lu Yanhe said, "Then, Sister Zixing, will you come with me?"

Xin Zixing nodded, then turned to Chen Liang and Liu Yaliang and said, "Make sure to back up the footage we shot today as soon as we get back. Don't forget."

"Okay." Chen Liang nodded.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Xin Zixing said, "Yan He, you go up first. I'll go to the convenience store next door to buy something."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Xin Zixing wandered around the convenience store next door for a while, about five minutes, bought a bottle of water, and then went into the hotel.

She texted Huang Kairen: I'm back at the hotel, are you in your room?

Huang Kairen: Yes, I am.

Xin Zixing took out a room key from her bag and waited until no one was around before entering an elevator going up.

After getting out of the elevator, she went straight to Huang Kairen's room.

The thick carpet absorbed all the footsteps.

Xin Zixing turned her head and looked around to make sure no one was there before swiping her card to open the door and going inside.

-

"Why are you with Lu Yanhe?" Huang Kairen asked immediately.

Xin Zixing: "Work."

She briefly explained to Huang Kairen, "I just suddenly thought of doing this kind of project. Don't be jealous. He's so much younger than me, he's just a little brother."

Huang Kairen hugged Xin Zixing from behind and said, "I'm not jealous, I was just asking."

Xin Zixing silently thought to herself: "He's saying one thing and meaning another."

Xin Zixing said, "But because of this job, I can stay a few more days, which is good. However, I can't come here every night. It's too risky and I'm likely to be discovered."

"It's alright, no one will come to my room," Huang Kairen said.

His head rested on Xin Zixing's shoulder.

"I've been out all day, it's so hot, I'm going to take a shower first."

"Hmm." Huang Kairen nodded in response, but did not let go of Xin Zixing.

Xin Zixing sighed and said, "Okay, wait for me."

Huang Kairen then released his grip, looked at Xin Zixing, and said, "Why didn't you ask me for a job like this?"

Xin Zixing was stunned.

"Please, our entire budget for this project is only 50,000 yuan, and Lu Yanhe's compensation is only 10,000 yuan. Do you think we can afford to hire you?" Xin Zixing said. "I told you, don't be jealous."

Huang Kairen: "I wasn't jealous, I was just asking."

Xin Zixing silently suppressed her eye roll.

-

Lu Yanhe originally thought that the collaboration with Yemai.com would take some time to materialize, but to his surprise, Xin Zixing wrote the first article the very next day.

The author is Xin Zixing, and the title is "City Travelogue: Langhua: Discovering the City with Lu Yanhe".

This title surprised Lu Yanhe.

Because it's not clickbait at all, and even has a serious and proper feel that doesn't quite fit the online environment, like the kind of headlines used in traditional magazines.

Photos and text.

The website layout pays great attention to aesthetics.

"...It was this chance encounter that sparked the idea in my mind: to invite Lu Yanhe to discover Langhua together. A city carries the memories of time and culture. Because of the existence of people, even if it becomes similar with the progress of modernization, believe me, it will never be the same. And a city that seems to have no surprises at first glance can also reveal unexpected surprises if you look carefully. This is the relationship between people and cities."

The opening paragraph captivated Lu Yanhe completely.

Xin Zixing's writing has a quiet, narrative quality that complements this theme perfectly.

Next is a photo of Lu Yanhe standing at the entrance of Jiangqiao Bookstore, examining the bookstore's name.

With a text and a photograph, Xin Zixing strives to maintain both the seriousness of the content and the ease of reading through this format.

"Memories of Langhua are definitely personal, private, and irreplaceable. But this is precisely where the relationship between a person and a city is most subtle. When Lu Yanhe looked at the barbecue stalls by the river and said he wanted to go there to eat with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, I was thinking about who I could go eat barbecue by the river with? This kind of romance that belongs only to us is constantly emerging in the process of getting to know the city. This is the geography of the city, and it is also our travelogue."

It took Lu Yanhe fifteen minutes to finish reading the article.

After reading the ending, he was deeply moved.

Xin Zixing said: Yan He, if possible, could you please share this article on social media?

Lu Yanhe: Okay.

He added: This article is so beautifully written.

Xin Zixing said: I got up at four o'clock this morning to write this.

Lu Yanhe: Very competitive.

Xin Zixing: We plan to release the documentary online next Sunday.

Lu Yanhe: Mm-hmm.

Lu Yanhe forwarded this article to several of his social media platforms.

Xin Zixing then asked: Yan He, do you have a registered account on Yemai.com?

Lu Yanhe: I registered one, but not using my real name.

Xin Zixing said: We'd like to get you verified with your real name, is that alright? I heard that the reading department is also talking to you about a collaboration, and they'll invite you to write book reviews on our website in the future.

Lu Yanhe: Do I need to get real-name authentication now? I just registered recently and haven't posted anything yet.

Xin Zixing: This is good too, no need to go through the trouble of deleting "embarrassing history", haha.

Lu Yanhe smiled: That's true.

So he told Xin Zixing his ID and ID number, and after a while, Yemai.com modified his information from the backend and gave him real-name authentication: artist Lu Yanhe.

Five minutes later, a photo of Lu Yanhe standing in front of Jiangqiao Bookstore appeared on the homepage of Yemai.com, with the caption "City Travelogue: Langhua: Discovering this city with Lu Yanhe".

Clicking on it leads to the article written by Xin Zixing, which also links to Lu Yanhe's personal homepage at the end.

-

"Does he think he's some kind of artsy youth, putting on such an artsy act?"

Zhou Ping'an frowned, clicked on the link to the article Lu Yanhe had just forwarded, and after figuring out what it was about, he immediately closed it with disdain.

"Who?" Ma Zhiyuan asked.

Zhou Pingan glanced back at Ma Zhiyuan sitting in the back row and said, "Lu Yanhe, he collaborated with Yemai.com on a city travelogue, he's got a real penchant for artsy types."

Upon hearing the name Lu Yanhe, Ma Zhiyuan's lips immediately twitched.

"Brother Ping An, why did you give up on him back then?" Ma Zhiyuan asked.

"Um?"

“You kept Li Zhibai, Cheng Hai, and Yan Liang, but you terminated your contract with Lu Yanhe, didn’t you?” Ma Zhiyuan said.

Zhou Ping'an: "Oh, that matter? It's nothing, just a small thing. At the time, I felt he didn't have any future prospects, so I gave up on him."

Ma Zhiyuan: "With his momentum so strong now, Brother Ping An, don't you regret it?"

“What’s there to regret? Now I’m the one leading you, aren’t I?” Zhou Pingan said with a smile. “In this company, no one is as powerful as you.”

Ma Zhiyuan's lips curled up slightly.

"Could Brother Ping An have some kind of precognitive ability, knowing that I would be transferred to your command?"

“You have ambition and ability. You won’t stay in MX forever. You’ll eventually go solo. Once you go solo, Lin Suyang’s abilities won’t be enough to help you realize your ambitions. So, who in the entire company is more suitable than me?” Zhou Ping’an said. “I admire your courage and I also admire that you never let so-called ideals or dreams affect your actual interests.”

Ma Zhiyuan said, "Those things are all too far away."

“That’s right, you’re right,” Zhou Pingan said, “but many people can’t understand this.”

Ma Zhiyuan: "But isn't Lu Yanhe quite successful in taking this route now?"

"How far can it go?" Zhou Ping'an said. "The academic route, the literary youth route? Maybe it satisfies the preferences of a certain group of people for a while and gains a certain amount of popularity, but this industry is not about touching a certain group of people and gaining a foothold. None of the truly popular ones have taken a niche route. Idols are a kind of artist identity created to gain the support of the vast majority of teenagers, to make people worship and follow, to make people believe and love. You can have your own temper, personality and hobbies, but you can't have a temper, personality and hobbies that make people lose their fans."

Ma Zhiyuan: "Everyone says that China's idol economy is about to experience a boom. When do you think that will be?"

"I think it has already begun. The overnight success of MX has fully demonstrated the huge market. It's just that many people think your success is accidental rather than driven by market demand. They are short-sighted."

Ma Zhiyuan was silent for two seconds, then laughed.

"Brother Ping An, I'm starting to believe that we can work together smoothly."

Xin Zixing's article received a prominent recommendation from Yemai.com.

All users who log in to the YeMai APP and YeMai website today will see a push notification about this article.

This article garnered a high number of reads and likes on YeMai.com, but it didn't generate much buzz elsewhere.

Lu Yanhe was quite surprised; within a single day, the number of followers on his Yemai.com website exceeded five thousand.

Lu Yanhe had browsed Yemai.com. The website had some star users that were promoted, but even the ones with more followers only had 30,000 to 40,000 followers.

Compared to the star users of some other websites, this is not even in the same league.

However, judging from their dynamic interactions, they are mostly positive, with very few fan-like comments.

In short, many of the active users on YeMai.com are real people using this account.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe never expected that he would gain so many fans after revealing his real name.

Looking at Xin Zixing again, she already has over 10,000 followers and is a celebrity on Yemai.com.

Lu Yanhe added ratings and reading marks to several books he had previously read on Yemai.com. As a result, many people asked in the comments section of these rating posts: What kind of books are these? Are they worth buying?

Then some people who had read these books left very good comments.

Xu Xiaoyin of Jiangyin Publishing House was surprised to learn that several books she was in charge of, such as Liu Jiazhen's "Nineteen Years of Criminal Records" and Mingyin's "Star Orbit", suddenly ushered in another sales peak, and many booksellers came to place additional orders.

Upon further investigation, lo and behold! It was Lu Yanhe again!

This time, many users of YeMai.com learned about these books because of Lu Yanhe's activities, which sparked their interest. This group is different from the fans in Lu Yanhe's live broadcast room.

Xu Xiaoyin couldn't help but sigh, "This Lu Yanhe is really amazing. He can even gather a group of fans on Yemai.com."

Editor-in-Chief Liu Cheng said, "It's clear that he really loves books and has been using his influence to introduce the books he likes so that more people can learn about them."

Xu Xiaoyin nodded and asked, "Has our publishing house signed the cooperation agreement with him yet?"

"They're still working on the terms. His agent is quite detail-oriented and has revised it several times," Liu Cheng said. "However, after several meetings with them, I'm quite willing to work with them. The cooperation agreement hasn't been finalized yet, but they've never stopped promoting our books because of it. As soon as Lu Yanhe arrives at Yemai.com, he's thinking about giving these books extra ratings."

“He really likes these books,” Xu Xiaoyin said. “The film and television rights to ‘Nineteen Years of Crime Records’ have already been sold. I recommended Lu Yanhe to them at the time, hoping that if there was an opportunity, I would invite Lu Yanhe to play the role, but they were not very interested and still wanted to find a first-tier actor to play the role.”

"It's not appropriate for us to interfere in these matters. The production cost of a film or television project is much higher than that of a book. Let's just focus on doing our own thing. By the way, how's the preparation for Liu Jiazhen's new book going?"

“He’s still writing. I read his first draft last week and gave him some suggestions for revision. He’s revising it now,” Xu Xiaoyin said. “I hope that his new book can ride the wave of success of ‘Nineteen Years of Crime Records’ and sell more, thus joining the ranks of bestselling authors.”

"We'll send a sample copy to Lu Yanhe as well," Liu Cheng said. "If he's willing to recommend it, it will definitely be helpful."

"Yes, I plan to invite Liu Jiazhen to Lu Yanhe's live broadcast room for another exchange activity later."

Will Lu Yanhe agree?

"Probably. He has a good relationship with Liujia Town. I've seen them often liking each other's posts on social media."

"Mm." Liu Cheng nodded.

-

Lu Yanhe had no idea that he had been targeted by Xu Xiaoyin again.

He's currently focused entirely on the YeMai website, marking his favorite books and movies, and replying to comments in the comment sections.

LeafVein.net is indeed a very interesting website.

It will recommend things you might like based on the books and movies you've marked.

Lu Yanhe read some book reviews and movie reviews written by various authors and marked several items as things he wanted to read.

People also leave comments under his tagged posts, sharing their feelings about the film, television series, or books.

Many people are quite enthusiastic.

-

When Chen Ziyan spoke with him on the phone, they talked about the article written by Xin Zixing.

“This article is well-written. In her writing, you are a youthful and sunny boy, and no one who reads it will dislike you,” Chen Ziyan said. “So it’s still important to make friends with cultured people, because they can praise you in a more sophisticated way.”

Lu Yanhe felt embarrassed after hearing Chen Ziyan say that.

“Your documentary will be broadcast next Sunday on Yemai.com,” Chen Ziyan said. “Today I spoke with their boss, who is also a typical artsy young man. He admires you and expressed his hope to cooperate with us long-term in the future, to do some collaborations like ‘City Travelogue’.”

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Okay, I like this kind of work too."

While working, I also enjoyed eating and drinking with the filming crew and searching for interesting places in the city. This kind of work was very fulfilling.

Chen Ziyan: "I'm thinking about a question. In this way, will you have a stronger cultural or literary vibe? This is not a bad thing, but if when people think of you, the impression that comes to mind is the word 'literary youth,' it will affect your commercial value. I'm not being discriminatory, but the label of 'literary youth' is not a good thing for an artist."

"Well, would you mind if I took on fewer jobs like this in the future?"

“No, I think you need to give people a different impression beyond the artsy type,” Chen Ziyan said. “You can’t be confined to one cage. Why don’t you do some sports, like running a marathon, swimming, cycling, etc.? You can create a healthy, sunny, and cheerful image to balance out the quiet image of the artsy type.”

"Sister Ziyan, I'm very lazy. This thing can hold things for three days, but not more than a month."

“Who told you to pretend? You’re a young person, staying fit will improve your physique, which is a good thing for you,” Chen Ziyan said. “This is good. You can choose one thing, and I’ll find you a coach to take you to work out regularly.”

Lu Yanhe: "...Find a coach? Sister Ziyan, I haven't even earned you much money yet, and you're already hiring acting teachers and coaches for me. You can't do business at a loss like this."

“You know I’m still losing money,” Chen Ziyan said. “Then you should just listen to me.”

Lu Yanhe: "...Alright then."

"How's it filming on set?" Chen Ziyan asked again.

“I have a scene tomorrow,” Lu Yanhe said. “I’ve almost finished filming my scenes. Now I only have one scene every one or two days, so it’s very relaxed. I’ll be able to finish filming and go home in about another week.”

Chen Ziyan: "Hmm, you've finished filming your first drama so quickly. Are you feeling a little sad about it ending?"

"Yes, but more than that, I feel unsatisfied," Lu Yanhe said. "I now realize that I quite enjoy acting, especially since I think I have a real talent for it."

Lu Yanhe was not modest at all; he spoke very directly.

Chen Ziyan laughed and said, "Many actors are like that. They have to be in front of the camera. Once filming officially starts, their state is completely different from usual. You were very nervous before joining the crew and couldn't sleep. Now you can feel the excitement of acting, right?"

“Hmm,” Lu Yanhe said, “I’m really looking forward to filming the fight scene.”

Chen Ziyan: "I'm looking forward to it, but I need to learn all the moves clearly from the action director. Don't just do it haphazardly, or you'll easily get injured."

"Okay, I'll be careful." Lu Yanhe smiled and said goodbye to Chen Ziyan before hanging up the phone.

Lu Yanhe is really enjoying acting now.

After the initial nervousness of the newlyweds, they are now in their honeymoon period.

It was probably because Director Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian often praised him encouragingly, and he himself often felt that he had performed well and was in character, that Lu Yanhe could clearly feel that he had some talent in acting. He didn't need to deliberately evoke emotions; he just needed to recite his lines and follow the script, and the emotions and details that were supposed to come out naturally.

At most, there were some inappropriate parts that were pointed out by director Luo Yuzhong, and we had to do it all over again.

Even Li Qian was surprised by his performance.

Once, Lu Yanhe and Jiang Yuqian were filming an indoor scene.

Li Qian was observing from the sidelines, originally intending to see Jiang Yuqian's performance, but later she became attracted to Lu Yanhe.

This scene was originally just a transitional scene, depicting the two of them arguing about which movie to see on Saturday, simply to highlight the sweetness and quarrel between the couple.

However, Lu Yanhe's eyes were quite different. He would occasionally reveal a slightly mournful expression, like a puppy locked out of the house on a rainy day. It was just a little bit, but it made people instantly lose their temper.

Jiang Yuqian was originally arguing with him. According to her own plan, she was going to act coquettishly and whine a bit more. But Lu Yanhe's unexpected mournful look made it impossible for Jiang Yuqian to act coquettishly, otherwise the scene would look incongruous.

Jiang Yuqian had no choice but to temporarily change her approach, and she ended up compromising and tolerating Lu Yanhe.

However, this treatment is very vivid and natural.

In the original story, Lu Yanhe played a mature senior and Jiang Yuqian played a short-tempered junior. Now that they have established a romantic relationship, their way of getting along in private has changed, and they have developed a real sense of interaction between lovers.

After the photo was taken, Jiang Yuqian's eyes became mournful.

"Lu Yanhe, you almost made me unable to answer the call."

Lu Yanhe scratched his head. "Sorry."

Director Luo Yuzhong laughed heartily, walked over, and said, "Xiao Lu's look just now was really something."

Jiang Yuqian: "I knew you would like it, Director."

Li Qian, who had witnessed the entire scene, stared at Lu Yanhe in disbelief.

This was the first time she had watched Lu Yanhe perform a play in its entirety.

She had previously heard staff members on set say that Lu Yanhe had a great acting presence.

Li Qian didn't take it to heart at the time.

The idea of ​​having a feeling while acting is a very abstract concept. Which actor who can act doesn't have that feeling?

Seeing Lu Yanhe act today, Li Qian realized that they just didn't know how to describe the feeling of Lu Yanhe acting.

His innate acting style, which knows how to touch people's hearts, is a perfect match for this role.

When this drama airs, that might be the time when Lu Yanhe truly becomes an overnight sensation.

Li Qian was shocked to find that she had actually had such a thought.

-

Luo Yuzhong specifically sought out Lu Yanhe in private and said to him, "You have a lot of talent for acting, Lu, but you must not forget to work on your acting skills just because you have talent. In this film, you have me to help you adjust the details, you have a cinematographer like Liu Zeliang to help you play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and you have an opponent like Jiang Yuqian who can handle all your on-the-spot changes. But in another film crew, the co-stars you meet may not be able to adapt to you."

Luo Yuzhong spoke with great earnestness.

"Only when you truly transform your natural talent for acting into a technically consistent and high-quality performance can you truly become an actor."

Lu Yanhe nodded seriously and said okay.

"Keep up the good work, don't go astray, just focus on acting, you can succeed," Luo Yuzhong said.

“Okay, I’ll keep it in mind,” Lu Yanhe said to Luo Yuzhong.

Luo Yuzhong added, "I have an old friend who is preparing for a period drama. He's looking for someone to play a role in it, and I recommended you to him. You can give it a try."

Lu Yanhe showed a look of surprise.

"Ah?! Thank you, director!"

"Alright, no need to thank me," Luo Yuzhong said. "I only recommended you because I think you're really suitable."

"No matter what, I must thank you for your patient guidance during this time," Lu Yanhe said. "Sister Yuqian also told me that I am very lucky to have encountered your work in my first film, which laid a very good foundation and set good habits for me. She said that if my first film had been in a mediocre production crew, I definitely wouldn't know how to prepare for a scene or how to judge whether a scene has been performed well. These are all things I have learned this time."

Luo Yuzhong nodded, "You and Yuqian are both very talented children. Your future achievements depend on your own destiny. Of course, we can give you a push, but in the end, where you end up is up to you."

"Um."

Luo Yuzhong was not related to him by blood, but he must have genuinely admired Lu Yanhe to have come to tell him these things.

Lu Yanhe wasn't ungrateful; he was filled with gratitude towards Luo Yuzhong.

-

The last scene is Lu Yanhe fighting with several people.

This scene was the most difficult to film and the most likely to cause injury, so it was specifically moved to the back of the filming schedule.

If Lu Yanhe were to get injured by accident, since the other scenes were already finished filming, it wouldn't be a problem; he could simply wrap up filming and go to recuperate.

Lu Yanhe was quite nervous because the previous scenes were all dialogue scenes. This time, although it wasn't a proper fight, but just a brawl without any special moves, it was a real fight. It was Lu Yanhe's first time acting, so he was naturally uneasy.

That's where the advantage of a large production team lies. Even for a show like this, Luo Yuzhong specifically hired a martial arts choreographer to design the entire action sequence for them.

Every step has its own set of methods; the actors don't need to come up with their own ideas.

When faced with scenes like this, many film crews either have the director instruct the actors to do a few moves randomly and then rely on post-production editing to complete the scene, or the actors have to come up with their own ideas on set.

Lu Yanhe had already learned the moves from the martial arts director, and the people who came to cause trouble for them in the drama were all professional martial arts actors.

They are the ones who can best control the force they exert when acting, and they won't easily hurt Lu Yanhe.

Everything went well during the rehearsal, but Lu Yanhe kept making mistakes when the actual filming started.

The main problem is that the playing style is too mechanical and rigid.

Upon closer analysis, it was discovered that Lu Yanhe was afraid of actually hurting his opponent, so he held back his strength and was hesitant, resulting in stiff and mechanical movements.

His fellow actors encouraged him, saying, "It's okay, just go all out. We've been learning martial arts for years. If you can hurt us so easily, then all our training has been for nothing."

Lu Yanhe knew where his problem lay. Without thinking too much, he focused on one thing: self-hypnosis. He then told Director Luo Yuzhong, "Director, if I don't act correctly later, please don't call 'cut' yet. Let me finish the two takes. I need to overcome my psychological barrier."

He knew that his problem lay in psychological barriers.

Luo Yuzhong nodded happily.

Once.

Twice.

Lu Yanhe's fighting style became increasingly fierce and ruthless with each blow.

Others sensed it, and he sensed it himself.

"Look at Lu Yanhe's comprehension." Luo Yuzhong's gaze towards Lu Yanhe no longer concealed his admiration for him.

-

Wang Yunfan arrived at this time.

He just finished filming with Group B. After this scene is finished, he will move on to another location to film.

Wang Yunfan came back specifically to move to a new location with the main group, and also to find time to talk to Director Luo about the next scene.

Then, he heard Luo Yuzhong say in an admiring tone, "Look at Xiao Lu's comprehension."

Wang Yunfan's heart sank instantly.

Having worked with Luo Yuzhong for so long, he had never heard Luo Yuzhong praise him like this before.
