"Good morning, Brother Nian." Lu Xu and the others walked forward and raised their hands to greet Ji Xiunian.

"Good morning." Ji Xiunian looked up and saw Lu Xu, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

The man with his back to Lu Xu turned around and raised his eyebrows and smiled when he saw them. His eyes scanned around and finally fell on Lu Xu.

"Oh my god, am I seeing things?" Han Tianyu was the first to exclaim when he saw the man's face clearly, "It's Tang Yanqing!"

Song Zhe was also a little surprised, and replied softly, "Yes, it's really him."

Xu Haoming smacked his lips and couldn't help but say, "The program team really values ​​us, and they spent a lot of money to hire a director."

Lu Xu nodded on the side, and Tang Yanqing's information flashed in his mind automatically -

in order to understand Ji Xiunian before, he memorized all of Ji Xiunian's information, including his interpersonal relationship column. As a standard workaholic, Ji Xiunian's interpersonal circle is very simple. There are not many people who can be called friends with him. Tang Yanqing is one of them.

Tang Yanqing is three years older than Ji Xiunian, and this year he just turned thirty.

Graduated from a professional school, he shot his first documentary film before graduating, and won the domestic best documentary award that year. Since then, he has steadily produced a film every year, winning the box office championship several times. The film "Sacrifice" he collaborated with Ji Xiunian won foreign awards with its excellent quality, making him the youngest winner of the Best Actor Award in China.

The two are of similar age and work happily together. Tang Yanqing is one of the few recognized good friends of Ji Xiunian in the circle.

Generally speaking, Tang Yanqing is considered to be a very high-profile director among the young generation of Chinese directors. In addition, he looks tall and handsome, and many people like him. Many people also think that Tang Yanqing became a director in order not to compete with male actors for resources.

It was incredible to think that such a person could come to "The Birth of an Idol" as a director.

Out of courtesy, Song Zhe took the lead in greeting Tang Yanqing: "Hello, Director Tang, are you our new director?"

"Yes." Tang Yanqing smiled openly, with a hint of romanticism in his eyes. It must be said that he looks really good.

"It's actually true!" Han Tianyu felt that this transfer was just a dream. A top director came to direct their program. After the news was released, the popularity could be imagined.

Originally, they were worried that the ratings of the program would be affected by Fan Zeng's hospitalization. Now that Tang Yanqing brought more traffic, they could finally compete with confidence.

The other trainees were also excited when they heard the news. They looked at Tang Yanqing from a distance and whispered something. It was just that due to his status, he didn't dare to come up and say hello.

Song Zhe and the others all welcomed Tang Yanqing's arrival. He nodded and thanked him and then looked at Lu Xu: "Lu Xu, I've seen your performance, it was very good."

"Thank you." The other party was looking at him subtly while speaking, and Lu Xu just pretended not to see it and didn't take it to heart.

Tang Yanqing stood next to Ji Xiunian and smiled suddenly, and then said: "I heard Xiunian talk about you, anyway, keep up the good work."

Does this mean that he has a good relationship with Ji Xiunian?

Lu Xu raised his head and glanced at Tang Yanqing, smiled and said nothing.

Other trainees entered the venue one after another, and they couldn't block the door.

The three roommates went in first, and Lu Xu followed closely behind. However, when he passed by Ji Xiunian, his wrist was suddenly pulled: "Let's meet each other later. I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Lu Xu smiled at Ji Xiunian. The two spoke in familiar tones and looked like they had a good relationship.

Tang Yanqing's matter fell on Ji Xiunian's hand holding Lu Xu's wrist. He raised his eyebrows unconsciously, thinking about something in his heart.

He lowered his eyes and smiled. In the end, he didn't say anything else. He just smiled at Ji Xiunian and said: "Xiunian, it's time for us to go in."

Ji Xiunian then let go of Lu Xu's hand, and then nodded: "Let's go."

Although they already knew who the new director was, the interns still screamed after seeing Tang Yanqing in the classroom.

"Ahhh, it's Brother Yan Qing!"

"My idol, I love the movie "Sacrifice" in which he collaborated with Brother Nian."

"Wow, wow, wow, I want his autograph and a photo, I wonder if there's a chance."

...

It can be seen that Tang Yanqing is very popular, and almost all the trainees around Lu Xu were sighing with emotion.

Xu Lele also followed suit, first calling out Tang Yanqing's name, then turned around and said to Lu Xu: "Why do I feel that Brother Yanqing was not invited by the program team, but came for Brother Nian?"

"Huh?" Lu Xu couldn't help but glance at Xu Lele, a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Xu Lele has always had a keen sense of gossip, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she immediately lowered her voice and whispered to Lu Xu: "I heard from a friend before that Brother Yanqing likes Brother Nian, I don't know if it's true or not..."

Tang Yanqing is handsome and talented, and he is also a well-known director. For various reasons, there are not a few artists who are close to him, both men and women.

But he has not officially announced his boyfriend or girlfriend until now, and the only one who is relatively close is Ji Xiunian. It is also because of this that many people think that Tang Yanqing is interested in Ji Xiunian.

Xu Lele got excited when talking about gossip. She turned to look at Ji Xiunian and Tang Yanqing, then sighed: "Actually, I think the rumors are not groundless. Look, Brother Yanqing has only been standing on the stage for a few minutes, and he has already looked at Brother Nian many times. Also, you see Brother Shen and Sister Ruowei are standing together, but his body is obviously more inclined towards Brother Nian. From a psychological point of view, it is obvious that they are close..."

Xu Lele talked a lot, but some of what he said really made sense.

Lu Xu glanced at Tang Yanqing unconsciously, and their eyes happened to meet.

Tang Yanqing raised his eyebrows at Lu Xu, with a smile not reaching his eyes.

Xu Lele was still talking: "If this is true, do you think Brother Nian will consider it?

"No. "Lu Xu answered without hesitation, and he didn't think Ji Xiu Nian would like Tang Yanqing at all.

Xu Lele originally asked casually, but she didn't expect Lu Xu to answer so straightforwardly, so she also echoed: "I don't think so either. Brother Nian has seen you three times, but he has never seen Brother Yanqing."

Lu Xu didn't know what kind of logic he was thinking, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't say anything else.

In fact, the program team gathered everyone together just to hold an impromptu welcome party for the new director Tang Yanqing.

Because it was a critical moment, Tang Yanqing basically had no time to rest and needed to immediately get into the recording.

He has a very direct personality and is straightforward about his work. He announced the next recording process directly.

Jusco has already recorded six episodes, and there are four more to go. There is really not much time left for the trainees.

The seventh episode will have a second ranking announcement, and 36 contestants will advance by then.

The third performance will follow. It is said that the program team has begun to invite guests to help, but it is not clear whether the guests will be.

In order to reduce the cruelty of the ranking announcement, the program team decided to add some dormitory life details to the seventh episode.

Each dormitory has a camera, which can be used directly for editing.

The first ranking announcement eliminated many trainees, and only 36 contestants can stay on the stage next. No one knows who will stay on the stage, so a farewell ceremony will inevitably be held in advance.

The program team arranged an activity in Devil's Bay before the last elimination, but this time there was no choice to go out.

It has been a long time since everyone entered the apartment for closed management today. During this period, they could not go out and had no contact with their families. After finally having a short break, the program team gave everyone time to call their families.

I still remember the first phone call session, everyone opened their family, but Lu Xu called Eighth Sister.

When fans learned that Lu Xu's family only has a cat, they felt very distressed, but they were also warmed by this detail.

The interaction between one person and one cat is always warm, and even Eighth Sister has gained countless fans.

This time the production team arranged another phone call, but Eighth Sister was already in the dormitory, and was held in Lu Xu's arms every day, so there was no need to call.

The assistant looked at the monitor and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Hey, if the process hadn't been set long ago, I really don't want to mention Xuzi's sad story."

Everyone else in the dormitory made a phone call, but Lu Xu was the only one who was resting with Eighth Sister in his arms, and he did look a little lonely.

Tang Yanqing looked at Lu Xu in the camera and couldn't help but ask the assistant curiously: "Does Lu Xu have any family?"

The assistant felt sad when thinking of Lu Xu's information: "No, he is alone at such a young age. Fortunately, he has his eighth sister to accompany him."

"Is that so." Tang Yanqing nodded and mentioned Ji Xiunian unconsciously, "His life experience is a bit similar to Xiunian's."

Ji Xiunian lost both his parents when he was young. This is no secret in the circle.

The assistant sighed when he thought of this, and then said with emotion: "Yes, it's a good thing that they met each other, at least they have a close friend."

"Oh?" Tang Yanqing pursed her lips and asked casually, "Are they on good terms?"

"Very good." The assistant answered decisively, and even smiled on her face, "Brother Nian takes good care of Xuzi, and the two are really very close."

The assistant spent more time with Fan Zeng, and occasionally had the opportunity to be with Ji Xiunian, Lu Xu, and Fan Zeng.

It is difficult to conceal people's emotions. Even if Ji Xiunian didn't say anything, the tacit understanding between him and Lu Xu is really incomparable to others.

"Is that so." Tang Yanqing just nodded and didn't continue the topic.

In front of the camera, Lu Xu was still alone with his eighth sister. He did not choose to call others, nor did he think it was a big deal to call less.

But he himself did not think there was a problem, and others could not help but think too much.

Xu Haoming next to him talked to his mother for a long time, and then suddenly stood up and walked in front of Lu Xu, and handed the phone to him: "Brother Xu, our mother has something to tell you."

"Huh?"

Lu Xu was a little surprised, but still raised his hand to take the phone: "Hello, Auntie."

"Okay, okay, Xuxu, you too..." Haoming's mother on the other end of the phone had a gentle voice, and she sounded very good. She asked Lu Xu gently if he was tired of filming, and then cheered him up.

Not long after Lu Xu hung up the phone, Han Tianyu and Song Zhe also asked their families to talk to him.

Not only that, other dormitories such as Xu Lele also came to Lu Xu with the phone. Their families are all very good and cheered Lu Xu up.

No matter how the family of each trainee treats their own children, they all ask about Lu Xu's well-being and obviously like this "ill-fated" but sensible child.

Everyone tacitly did not mention Lu Xu's life experience, but just cheered him up as if he were their own child.

Lu Xu is not an emotional animal, but he was still touched by this scene.

He patiently thanked each "family member" with stars shining in his smiling eyes.

At this moment, he has no family, but everyone is his family.

Lu Xu's family has spent the longest time on the phone, but no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

Not long after the family call ended, Lu Xu's cell phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the familiar number on it, Lu Xu's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still chose to answer it: "Hello, Brother Nian, why are you calling me suddenly?"

After learning about the process of family phone calls, Ji Xiunian's first reaction was to think of Lu Xu. Although he already knew Lu Xu's true identity, Ji Xiunian still felt that he should have what others have.

"I just want to tell you," he called, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You are not alone, no matter what, I am here..."
