Chapter 497: A Visit to the Set Leads to a Trending Topic (8,000-word Update!)
The cast and crew of "Love Letter".
canteen.
Photographers Wu Zhou and Bao Wenliang came in carrying their equipment bags to get food.
Bao Wenliang looked on incredulously and said, "How could a lunatic like Yu Jiang have survived to this day?"
“She’s not the only one with a mental illness in the Chinese entertainment industry; they’re all doing just fine,” Wu Zhou said. “The more insane someone is, the more attention they get.”
Bao Wenliang: "No wonder there are always some mentally unstable people who can act so arrogantly."
Wu Zhou said, "The film adaptations of Yu Jiang's novels are quite popular now. Several projects are being launched at the same time. 'Flowers on the Stars' has already grossed 130 million yuan at the box office."
“There’s an audience,” Bao Wenliang said. “Actually, there’s always been a large audience for youth romance films. As long as the costs are controlled well, it’s practically a perennial genre that’s guaranteed to make a profit.”
"Brother Liang, you're here." Xiao Liu from the lighting crew walked by carrying a tray, saw Bao Wenliang, and greeted him. "The director was just looking for you, saying he wanted to discuss the filming with you."
Upon hearing this, Bao Wenliang immediately put down his chopsticks and said to Wu Zhou, "You eat first, I'm going."
Wu Zhou glanced at the food in front of Bao Wenliang, which he had barely touched, and said, "Brother Liang, why don't you finish eating before you go? There's no rush."
Bao Wenliang waved his hand, slung his equipment bag over his shoulder, and left.
In a great hurry.
Wu Zhou: "..."
Compared to the carefree and leisurely Bao Wenliang of six months ago, he seems like a completely different person now.
Watching Bao Wenliang's hurried departure, Xiao Liu laughed and said, "An old hand is still an old hand. He knows when he can't be an old hand anymore."
-
"We're going into the mountains tonight and filming early tomorrow morning. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Bao," Lu Yanhe said to Bao Wenliang. "There's no heating or electricity where we're staying tonight, so we'll have to burn firewood for warmth. Please wear more layers."
Tomorrow we're filming the scene where Zheng Ni comes to the mountain where Nan Huaijingshu died and shouts, "How are you? I'm fine—"
In order to film on location, they searched for many places before finding one that met Lu Yanhe's requirements.
We need high mountains, thick snow, and a small wooden house—this house was actually built in the fall, and after more than two months of wind, sun, and rain, it shows the marks of time. The art team came back recently to redecorate it. We're just waiting for tomorrow's shoot.
In the mountains, where it was snowy, it was impossible to lay tracks or set up equipment, so photography could only be done mainly by people carrying the cameras in the most traditional way.
Wu Zhou's experience was still not as rich as Bao Wenliang's.
Since we only had one day to shoot in the mountains, the photography had to be entrusted to Bao Wenliang.
This was indeed a tough job for Bao Wenliang.
In the past, Bao Wenliang would have definitely made all sorts of excuses, but now he showed no reluctance whatsoever and readily said that he would take care of it.
Lu Yanhe naturally noticed the change in Bao Wenliang's attitude.
However, he didn't say anything, acting as if he hadn't noticed anything.
-
Although winter is cold, as a director, Lu Yanhe has a feeling that winter scenes are much easier to shoot than summer scenes.
It wasn't the difficulty of the play, but rather the fact that he noticed the crew's cooperation had noticeably improved after the summer.
His words were understood better by everyone, and were implemented better, resulting in far fewer rework attempts.
He remarked again that it's no wonder that most talented directors have their own familiar teams. Having a well-established team makes filming a movie much easier. And when you encounter an actress like Chen Bige, being a director truly becomes a wonderful experience.
On New Year's Eve, Lu Yanhe finished work early, booked a restaurant, and arranged for the entire crew to celebrate the New Year together.
Work hard when it's time to work, but don't neglect team building activities outside of work.
For a large team, team building is indeed a necessary activity. However, many companies have distorted its purpose, turning it into a burden for employees. Especially… some companies actually require employees to chip in to organize team building activities, completely destroying the meaning of team building. What kind of team building is that?
Lu Yanhe toasted everyone at each table to express his gratitude, leaving no one out, from overall coordination to event management.
He is now adopting a humble attitude because no one will actually look down on him because of it; instead, they will feel genuinely honored—and then, they will be motivated to do their job even better.
Well, I've become a capitalist without even realizing it.
Another year has passed.
The snow was thick.
Lu Yanhe returned to his room, checked Weibo, browsed his email, and replied to some congratulatory messages. It was not yet ten o'clock.
Looking out at the dark night sky and the scattered lights against the vast darkness, Lu Yanhe found himself unusually calm.
There are so many things to do every day, and my thoughts seem to never stop.
I used to often see articles in magazines like "Reader" and "Yilin" about people who usually put all their energy into work suddenly realizing the beauty of a leisurely and carefree life.
At that time, Lu Yanhe categorized these types of articles as inspirational stories.
Now he actually felt that way a bit too.
That's... utter nonsense...
Lu Yanhe twitched the corners of his mouth, lay on the sofa, and listlessly scrolled through his phone.
Suddenly, Chen Siqi sent him a message: I'm downstairs.
Lu Yanhe sat up abruptly, staring at his phone in surprise, and asked: "Are you in Hegang?"
Without waiting for Chen Siqi's reply, Lu Yanhe shoved his boots into the door and went out.
He took the elevator down and saw Chen Siqi in the hotel lobby.
In such a cold place and in such cold weather, she wasn't wearing a down jacket at all. She was just wrapped in a coat and wearing leather boots. She looked very capable, bright and sharp, with the dashing style of a Hong Kong beauty. Lu Yanhe was stunned.
When Chen Siqi saw Lu Yanhe appear in front of her, she smiled.
-
Chen Siqi flew directly back from abroad and then transferred several times before arriving at Hegang.
She didn't change her suitcases at all; they were still the same ones she had brought for her trip abroad.
This made it so that the first thing she did upon arriving at the hotel was to arrange for the hotel's laundry service.
"I'm so tired." Chen Siqi leaned on Lu Yanhe's shoulder as she got on the elevator. "We spent a whole week negotiating with Japan's Feiyin Publishing before we finally finalized the Japanese anthology of our 'Jump Up'."
Lu Yanhe knew that Chen Siqi had always wanted to promote "Jump Up" overseas, and after comprehensively assessing the publishing markets and cultural backgrounds of various countries around the world, Chen Siqi chose Japan as her first stop.
Negotiations must be exhausting.
Lu Yanhe didn't even need to ask for the specific details to know how tiring it would be.
Especially things like expanding territory.
Lu Yanhe put his arm around Chen Siqi's waist and gently pinched her waist with his fingers.
"Take a good rest these few days."
Chen Siqi probably felt itchy, so she immediately moved and gave him a warning look.
Lu Yanhe chuckled foolishly.
When the elevator arrived, Lu Yanhe led Chen Siqi into the room.
"Oh, right, I lost my lipstick. Could you go downstairs and buy me one later? My lips have been so dry lately, they're always peeling," Chen Siqi said. "I forgot to buy it earlier."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Are you getting ready for bed?" Chen Siqi asked as she entered the room and saw the blankets already turned over on the bed.
"No, I was just lying on the sofa," Lu Yanhe said. "That's what I didn't tidy up yesterday."
Chen Siqi: "Didn't the hotel room service come in to clean up?"
“I told them to clean every three days,” Lu Yanhe said. “I don’t want them to come in every day. There are some things in the room that need to be kept secret, like the script.”
Chen Siqi: "That's quite troublesome."
“Yes, every time they come in to clean, someone has to be in the room watching them,” Lu Yanhe said.
"I'm going to take a shower first. I've been traveling for over ten hours, and I feel terrible," Chen Siqi asked. "Does your room have a bathtub?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded. "You go ahead and soak, I'll go fill the tub for you."
Chen Siqi hummed in agreement, opened her suitcase, and began taking things out.
Lu Yanhe helped Chen Siqi adjust the water temperature.
"Do you have any other work to do? How many days can you stay here?" Lu Yanhe asked in the bathroom while running the toilet.
Chen Siqi: "I don't have anything going on for the time being, so I can stay for three to five days."
After a while, Chen Siqi came over.
When Lu Yanhe turned around, he almost had a nosebleed.
Chen Siqi wrapped herself in a bath towel, revealing her smooth, glossy arms and long legs.
"Are you done?" Chen Siqi yawned.
Lu Yanhe's face was misty with water vapor as he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, no, the water isn't ready yet."
"Could you go buy me some lipstick first?" Chen Siqi said.
Lu Yanhe hummed in agreement.
He stood up, turned sideways, and went out.
-
Stepping out of the hotel, the biting cold wind calmed him down.
He slapped himself on the forehead.
Why is he playing an innocent young man?!
He walked fifty meters in the cold wind and found a Lansen convenience store, then went inside.
At this time, there are basically no customers left.
The convenience store clerks were sitting behind the counter looking at their phones when someone suddenly walked in, and they were all a little surprised.
Lu Yanhe covered half of his face with a scarf and wore a fluffy hat that covered his eyebrows and above, leaving only his eyes exposed.
He grabbed a lipstick and went to the counter to pay.
The shop assistant didn't seem to recognize him.
His gaze shifted downwards and fell upon the boxes of small items displayed in front of him. After only two seconds of thought, he reached out and grabbed two boxes, placing them on the counter together.
He kept his head down the whole time, avoiding any eye contact with the shop assistant.
Fortunately, he didn't hear the clerk suddenly ask in a surprised voice, "Are you Lu Yanhe?" until he paid the bill.
Normally it would be fine, but today...
He packed up the few things he had bought, turned around, and left in a hurry.
As the shop assistant watched him disappear into the night, his calm face suddenly lit up with excitement.
He picked up his phone, logged onto his social media platform, and his fingers trembled with excitement.
—You'll never guess who I just ran into or what happened!
-
Lu Yanhe is actually the kind of artist who rarely complains about losing a lot of his private life because of his celebrity status.
He genuinely felt that he had already gained enough and was lucky enough; having chosen this path, he had to pay a price.
This can't even be called a sacrifice.
Sometimes, however, when he sees certain things about himself exposed online, he still feels so embarrassed that he digs his toes into the ground, wishing he could find a hole to bury himself in.
There's no need to expose everything online!
#Lu Yanhe buys condoms late at night#
"..." At this moment, Lu Yanhe truly felt like he wanted to isolate himself from the world forever.
This kind of thing isn't really shameful, but once it's trending on social media, it's not such a simple matter.
"What's wrong?" Chen Siqi also woke up and asked in a muffled voice.
Lu Yanhe exclaimed excitedly, "It's nothing!"
Chen Siqi found Lu Yanhe's behavior strange.
But she was really sleepy. She had only been woken up by Lu Yanhe's noise, and now she was feeling sleepy again.
She yawned and turned over to sleep again.
Lu Yanhe got up quietly, washed up, and got dressed.
We still have to film as usual today; there's no holiday.
-
Lu Yanhe put on sunglasses and a hat, and walked out of the room expressionlessly.
Wang Biao and the others looked at him with tense and uneasy expressions.
Wan Qingqing, in particular, looked at him with a very complicated expression.
Wang Biao said, "Brother Lu, there are reporters downstairs at the hotel."
Lu Yanhe hummed in response, but did not react further.
Wang Biao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Brother Lu, they might ask about what's trending on social media. Have you seen what's trending?"
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and said, "Siqi is still sleeping in my room. She might want to come to the film set when she wakes up. Arrange a car for her later."
Wang Biao was shocked: "Sister Siqi is here?"
Lu Yanhe looked at him strangely and said, "Didn't you see the trending topics? Didn't you guess she was here?"
Not only Wang Biao, but Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang also suddenly showed expressions of relief.
Lu Yanhe was puzzled for a moment, then realized what was going on.
Oh.
It turns out that the reason they were looking at him so nervously wasn't because of the trending topic, but because the trending topic reminded them of bad things.
They might be worried—
Is his house about to collapse?!
Lu Yanhe was speechless.
Wang Biao realized what was happening and a smile spread across his face.
"Brother Lu, don't worry, I'll take care of it."
-
At the hotel entrance, three or four reporters, who seemed to have come from nowhere, swarmed over.
Lu Yanhe got into the car without saying a word and drove away.
"Yan He, is the news circulating online true?"
"Chen Siqi is still in Japan, what are you buying condoms for?"
"Yan He, can you respond?"
...
Wang Biao, Zou Dong, Wan Qingqing, and Song Jiang shielded Lu Yanhe tightly, preventing the reporters from getting close to him.
However, Lu Yanhe was still blocked by them and could hardly move an inch.
A sense of anxiety and anger welled up inside me.
Lu Yanhe was unwilling to respond to such private matters in a lighthearted or joking manner, and he didn't want to explain that Chen Siqi was sleeping in his room.
This is their private matter, and he doesn't want to lay everything out for everyone to see.
Lu Yanhe finally got into the car, and just as Zou Dong and the others were about to close the door, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Wait a minute!"
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Yanhe and the others turned around in surprise.
Chen Siqi, wrapped in a coat and wearing a fluffy hat by Lu Yanhe, hugged herself and walked through the still-unresponsive crowd to get into the car.
"I told you last night that I was going to the film set with you, but you didn't invite me." Her complaints to Lu Yanhe were clearly heard by every recording device outside the car.
The reporters suddenly realized what was happening.
Chen Siqi?!
Isn't she in Japan?
The car door slammed shut.
They remained where they were, staring at each other in disbelief, unable to process what had happened for a long time.
-
Chen Siqi got into the car, glanced at Lu Yanhe who was staring at her with wide eyes, and yawned.
"I'm so sleepy, I need to sleep a little longer." She said, taking an eye mask out of her pocket and putting it on.
There was no explanation given.
Of course, no explanation is needed.
Lu Yanhe knew what Chen Siqi was thinking.
He smiled and looked down, then took off his coat and covered Chen Siqi with it.
Seeing this, everyone else wisely kept quiet and no one spoke.
When they arrived at the film set and got out of the car, Chen Siqi was still unconscious.
Lu Yanhe asked Wan Qingqing to rest with him in the car while he went to work.
When it was freezing cold, Lu Yanhe was immediately hit by a blast of cold wind as soon as he got out of the car. He shivered and became incredibly clear-headed.
"It's too cold." All he wanted to do was get inside as soon as possible.
However, today's shoot happens to be outdoors.
However, despite the cold, Lu Yanhe still felt warm inside.
As soon as he arrived on set, Chen Bige looked at him with a teasing gaze that seemed to say, "You've done something good, kid."
Lu Yanhe's face turned red.
Of course, it was turned red by the wind.
"Where's Siqi?" Chen Bige asked. "Didn't the news say she came with you?"
Chen Bige peered behind Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe said helplessly, "He's sleeping in the car."
Chen Bige chuckled and said "Oh," "Are you still in the mood to direct us today? If not, you should take a day off."
Lu Yanhe didn't think Chen Bige was showing any concern for him.
The undiminished mockery in her eyes spoke volumes about what she was thinking.
Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Bige speechlessly.
At this moment, Zhao Yuheng arrived.
He came to him to report something.
-
Zhao Yuheng is the production manager for "Love Letter".
He is the assistant to Lei Shuangcheng, a producer who has long collaborated with director Luo Yuzhong. Lu Yanhe met him during the filming of "The Golden Era".
This time, he came to help out, and it was the first time he had a real opportunity to be a producer.
He seized this opportunity and didn't slack off at all.
Moreover, Lu Yanhe was very satisfied with him after working with him.
His greatest strengths are his steadiness and meticulousness.
For example, when filming in winter, a film crew is busy running around, and taking care of so many people's food, drink, and daily needs is a huge undertaking.
But Zhao Yuheng is so meticulous that he would have ginger soup and brown sugar water prepared and placed on set for every outdoor shoot, as well as hot water bottles that are always readily available.
In terms of crew services, Zhao Yuheng, who has worked with directors Lei Shuangcheng and Luo Yuzhong on several large film crews, can always find cheap and affordable ways to make everyone more comfortable on set.
This includes preparing snacks on-site.
Zhao Yuheng didn't prepare the kind of snacks that come in small plastic bags and can be put in your pocket to take away; instead, he prepared things like thumb-sized cakes that can only be eaten on the spot.
The reason is that the former is easily taken by some people who might take more than their share, while the latter doesn't have this problem. Don't underestimate this small item; the difference can save the production crew five figures. And the production crew's daily expenses are made up of hundreds of these small items.
Anyone who thinks, "Why are you being so stingy with such small things? What's wrong with letting someone take some?" on set is not cut out to be a production producer. Anyone who has done this knows that the difference between being firm and lenient is significant.
-
Zhao Yuheng came to find Lu Yanhe to talk to him about the New Year's Eve dinner.
"We are trying our best to finish filming this movie before the Lunar New Year so that everyone can go home for the holiday. According to the current filming schedule, we are currently filming on the edge of the border, and it is not certain that everyone will be able to buy tickets to go home. If they cannot go home, those who stay will book a few tables for New Year's Eve dinner and give everyone red envelopes, which is estimated to be around 30,000 to 50,000 yuan."
Lu Yanhe nodded upon hearing this.
The amount of money wasn't much, but Zhao Yuheng would usually inform him about any expenditures that weren't in the budget.
As everyone knows, the investment for this film did not come from outside film companies or investment institutions; the majority of the funding came from Lu Yanhe himself.
Zhao Yuheng didn't want any misunderstandings.
The job of a production manager is incredibly lucrative.
There's a near-universal consensus within the industry regarding how lucrative it is. As long as they don't go overboard, they're considered good producers.
For a New Year's Eve dinner like this, a batch of red envelopes are distributed. You negotiate with the restaurant to get a 20% kickback, and then falsely report the number of people who received the red envelopes. Lu Yanhe can't possibly know or recognize everyone in the crew, and he can't possibly call everyone one by one to ask, "Did you receive the red envelope?"
Therefore, the person sitting in this position is usually the director or the person most trusted by the investors—of course, most of the time, the investor sends a producer to directly supervise all the accounts.
Not long after Zhao Yuheng left, Chen Siqi arrived.
What's amazing is that when she appeared at this time, she was already fully made up and had her hair and makeup done, and there was no trace of the sloppy look of someone who had just gotten out of bed.
Lu Yanhe stared at her in shock, wanting to ask how she had done it.
Chen Siqi's appearance also stirred up some excitement among the crew of "Love Letter".
It's still trending on social media.
This girl, who had publicly acknowledged her relationship with Lu Yanhe early on and had always stood by his side, possessed achievements just as extravagant as Lu Yanhe's, achievements unbecoming of her age. She, too, was an idol to her peers, especially girls. But this kind of idolization was a representation of one's own dream life, different from other idols.
In comparison, Chen Siqi is now more like a KOL to many of her fans. Many people like and admire her to the point that they unconsciously imitate everything about her.
There were also several young girls in the crew who were die-hard fans of Chen Siqi.
They admired Chen Siqi's work ethic and lifestyle, and wanted to become like her. So, when they suddenly saw Chen Siqi on set, the girls screamed right in front of her.
Chen Siqi was somewhat flattered.
Huh? Lu Yanhe's film crew actually has her fans?
"I really like you! I watch every episode of 'Jump Up'!" a girl said excitedly.
Chen Siqi smiled and said, "Thank you."
The scene instantly turned into a fan meeting for Chen Siqi.
Lu Yanhe was both amused and exasperated: "..."
Then, he heard the girl say to Chen Siqi, "I was still angry this morning. I thought our director really cheated on you with someone else. I was so angry that I didn't eat breakfast properly. I only ate two steamed buns and a shumai. Luckily, it was a misunderstanding. Siqi, you two must be happy together!"
The tone of the last sentence was as if her best friend was getting married.
Chen Siqi smiled too.
Lu Yanhe silently complained to himself: You've already eaten two steamed buns and a shumai, and you still say you didn't have a good breakfast?
He then realized that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
Depend on!
"Have you not had breakfast yet either?" Lu Yanhe asked Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi asked, "Is there any food here?"
"Zhao Yuheng usually prepares some snacks."
In the end, they picked out two bowls of instant noodles from the pile of snacks.
-
"Brother Zhao, you didn't prepare anything nice. The landlady can only eat instant noodles when she comes." Someone teased Zhao Yuheng.
Zhao Yuheng: "Even the boss's wife can only eat instant noodles when she comes here, what are you talking about? If you want to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant, go pay for it yourself!"
Although he spoke toughly, Zhao Yuheng was still a little uneasy inside.
It's really embarrassing to admit.
Why didn't you prepare anything better?
He thought he should prepare something special and make lunch more substantial today.
Lu Yanhe always eats with everyone in the same pot, without giving any special treatment. He couldn't very well let the boss's wife eat with everyone in the same pot.
In the "Love Letter" production team, the only ones who truly received special treatment were the actors and some senior figures in the various technical departments. Lu Yanhe had instructed them beforehand that, especially for the actors who came to make guest appearances, they were there out of courtesy and their treatment in all aspects should be guaranteed.
Of course, although the meals were nominally communal, they were actually quite good. Lu Yanhe didn't skimp on anything in this regard; everyone's meal allowance reached 50 yuan per meal, including minor actors with only one or two lines and the most ordinary production assistants. Everyone received the same treatment. This was also why Zhao Yuheng dared to grumble and complain to everyone on set. From the perspective of a production manager, he might not have provided everyone with five-star hotel service, but at least they received everything they needed, and he didn't mistreat anyone.
Zhao Yuheng went to find Wang Biao.
"Xiao Biao, do you know what the boss lady usually likes to eat? Let me see what to prepare for lunch."
Wang Biao waved his hand and said, "No need for special preparations. She eats exactly like Brother Lu. She eats the same way Brother Lu eats."
Wang Biao was very clear about the two men's style in this regard.
“She just told me that she came to visit the set, and we need to show our appreciation. Brother Zhao, could you order some coffee and milk tea for everyone this afternoon, in Sister Siqi’s name?” Wang Biao said. “She’ll come looking for you later.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuheng nodded, "The boss lady is very generous."
Wang Biao: "Of course."
Zhao Yuheng asked again, "I heard from others that they're eating instant noodles now? Sigh, I really am too stingy; I only prepared these things for the event."
Wang Biao glanced at Zhao Yuheng—What are you talking to me about? You want me to pass on your message? Are you too embarrassed to say it yourself?
He said, "Hey, what's wrong with eating instant noodles? Don't make it sound like they don't eat human food. Brother Lu hates it when people treat him like a god. If you, as the production manager, are like this, won't everyone else in the crew follow suit?"
Zhao Yuheng smiled.
"I'm just worried they haven't eaten well."
“If they don’t eat well, they’ll tell me to go buy something better. They haven’t told me, which means they think it’s fine.” Wang Biao waved his hand. “You don’t need to be so careful.”
Even though Wang Biao had said that, Zhao Yuheng was still a little worried and nervous.
This is his first time taking on the title of producer, and he doesn't want to get a bad reputation because of some minor oversights.
Seeing that Zhao Yuheng was still not completely at ease, Wang Biao didn't know what to say.
However, he also understood Zhao Yuheng. Those who hadn't truly spent time with Lu Yanhe day and night might find it hard to understand why Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi genuinely didn't care about these things. Especially Zhao Yuheng, who had spent so many years in the entertainment industry and encountered countless people who appeared approachable and "friendly," but were actually quite different.
This is an extremely unbalanced circle, not only in terms of income, but also in terms of status, voice, and even personality.
Why was Zhao Yuheng so cautious? Because Zhao Yuheng was afraid that Lu Yanhe was that kind of person.
This gave Wang Biao a new idea.
Wang Biao used to think that someone as good as his brother Lu could not possibly be disliked or not thought was good in the entertainment industry.
But now, Wang Biao has changed his mind. Even someone like Zhao Yuheng, who deals with Lu Yanhe almost every day, still feels nervous and uneasy deep down because he worries about Lu Yanhe's unhappiness, let alone those others who don't even have much opportunity to come into contact with Lu Yanhe.
In their eyes, Lu Yanhe was neither good nor bad. He had become a person of power, and in his film crew, he had become a person with "life and death power" over them.
This new understanding suddenly made Wang Biao realize why everyone on the "Love Letter" set seemed to seek his opinion on everything, big or small. It was because he was Lu Yanhe's assistant, the person who knew Lu Yanhe best. Getting advice from him could help them avoid some pitfalls.
When these thoughts popped into Wang Biao's mind, he himself was somewhat incredulous and taken aback.
He didn't realize he was overthinking things; rather, he had come up with a perspective he had never considered before.
However, one thing is clear: he can no longer keep questioning why others can't relax and be more relaxed when facing Lu Yanhe.
Not everyone has the opportunity to understand what the real Lu Yanhe is like, just like he did.
-
Zhao Yuheng had no idea that his somewhat anxious and indecisive behavior would give eighteen-year-old Wang Biao a profound intellectual awakening.
The biggest difference between him and the eighteen-year-old Wang Biao is that his years of work experience have instilled in him a cautious work habit.
A person without a background or anyone to protect them cannot rise steadily without a clear mind and careful consideration in their actions.
He specially used the coffee machine on set to make two cups of coffee and personally delivered them to Chen Siqi. He didn't act obsequiously, but rather relaxed and indifferent—in reality, it was all a mask, a posture.
"Welcome, boss lady, to the film crew for a site visit!" His tone was joking and relaxed.
To Zhao Yuheng's surprise, Chen Siqi actually recognized him. She smiled and said as soon as she spoke, "Brother Zhao, thank you for taking care of Yan He."
"Of course." Zhao Yuheng handed over the coffee and said, "The weather here in the river port is too cold. Are you getting used to it?"
Chen Siqi took the coffee, said thank you, and nodded. "It's alright. I came from Japan. It's cold there too, and there's just as much snow."
Chen Siqi suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Brother Zhao, I would like to ask you to order coffee and milk tea for everyone this afternoon, and also prepare some small cakes. Is that convenient? I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare in advance. I'm not familiar with this place."
Zhao Yuheng readily nodded and said, "No problem."
Chen Siqi: "Just give the bill to Wang Biao later."
"good."
After chatting with Chen Siqi for a while, Zhao Yuheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left.
It seems he really wasn't angry.
At noon, just as Wang Biao had said, Chen Siqi ate lunch with Lu Yanhe at the crew's canteen.
Chen Siqi also excitedly told Zhao Yuheng, "The food on set is delicious! Where did you find this chef? It's one of the best meals I've ever had on a film set."
Zhao Yuheng smiled brightly.
"A chef specially hired locally."
