Chapter 376 Just a Little Ambition

According to the original plan, after the premiere of "Late Spring" was over, Lu Yanhe was about to prepare to return to China.

However, the feedback received after the screening of "Late Spring" led many media to list the film as a favorite to win awards.

Many film media even directly stated that "Late Spring" will definitely win an award, it just depends on what award it wins.

This trend has made Longyan Pictures and the crew of "Late Spring" very excited.

If I could win a prize, it would have a different meaning.

Just look at "Three Mountains" and director Wang Zhong's current status and treatment in China.

The value and significance of international awards speak for themselves.

-

Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe analyzed: "In several forecasting agencies, you are currently ranked in the first echelon of best actor candidates at this Venice International Film Festival. The closing ceremony is three days away. If you really receive the notice, you will be invited to come back. You may not be able to make it in time to attend the closing ceremony.”

Lu Yanhe showed a bewildered expression, "Sister Ziyan, do you think I can win the Best Actor Award?"

Chen Ziyan: "Although I think there is little hope, we still have to have dreams. What if?"

This time Lu Yanhe's performance in "Late Spring" did receive great praise.

The play gave him a lot of room to perform, and critics rated it highly.

However, to say that he is the top seed player, he is really not.

In comparison, Rubeus Hals from the UK and Chen Pinghe from "White Pearl" are the two biggest favorites this time.

After Lu Yanhe came to Venice, he also went to see "White Pearl".

He didn't like this movie very much, but Chen Pinghe's performance was superb and wonderful. In the first part, he was a simple, loyal, and gentle man. In the second part, he was slowly taken over by greed and wanted to embezzle the family's property. In the end, he even To kill people, the transformation of the whole process is calm and gradual, and full of control.

Lu Yanhe has not watched the movie starring Rubeus Hals, but according to the media, it is also an outstanding performance.

Lu Yanhe was ranked behind them.

At least this is the case in the lists predicted by many forecasting agencies and media.

Chen Ziyan said: "It's not like the Venice International Film Festival has never prescribed double or triple yolk eggs, although every time such a result is given, people will scold it."

Lu Yanhe laughed.

"Sister Ziyan, my work in Venice has ended. I've forgotten about the Best Actor matter. It's probably out of the question." Lu Yanhe said, "I'll rush back to class. Liu Bige and the others are all here. When the movie They won the award, they attended, and someone received the award.”

Chen Ziyan: "Don't you want to stand on the awards podium? If your film wins an award, you will be recognized by everyone."

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I want to get on the podium. When I really hope to win the award, I will definitely sit in the audience and wait for that moment seriously."

Lu Yanhe finally returned to China.

Chen Ziyan stayed in Venice to accompany Huang Zhongjing and the others.

Lu Yanhe's return to China surprised some media.

"Yan He, why are you back? They say "Late Spring" has a good chance of winning the award, right?"

"Some media say that you have a great chance of winning the Best Actor award. Why don't you save it until the closing ceremony?"

"Are you not confident about winning the prize?"

…

Lu Yanhe was surrounded by a large group of reporters at the airport.

Their turbulent momentum made Lu Yanhe couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't forget that I am an injured person. If you are too enthusiastic, don't blame me for lying on the ground touching porcelain."

The reporters looked at each other in shock at Lu Yanhe's joke, and then burst into laughter.

Lu Yanhe looked very relaxed in this state, and he didn't look like he was returning in anger.

Then why come back so early?

Lu Yanhe looked at everyone's eager eyes, smiled, and said, "I have to rush back to class. I have already asked for a few days of leave from the school. I can't ask for more. Director Liu Bige and the others are still in Venice."

"In this case, if "Late Spring" wins the award, wouldn't you be able to witness that scene?"

"It doesn't matter, I will watch the live broadcast." Lu Yanhe said, "Besides, I believe that the movie "Late Spring" will win many awards. This is just the beginning."

"So it's now confirmed that "Late Spring" will win the award, right?" a reporter immediately asked.

"I'm not a judge, how do I know?" Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Didn't you ask me what would happen if I won the prize?"

Lu Yanhe's tone of voice was very tight, which made the reporters depressed.

In fact, there is really no news about Lu Yanhe.

How could there be any news? The jury may not have finalized a list at this time.

It’s just the various media outlets discussing and predicting.

After finally dealing with the media, Lu Yanhe finally got in the car and prepared to go back.

Due to health problems, Lu Yanhe did not live on campus these days, and was all picked up and dropped off by Zou Dong.

When they arrived at Ziyuan Bridge, Lu Yanhe sent a message to the crowd of three people: I'm here.

Yan Liang: I’m still on the way.

Li Zhibai: I just walked in.

Lu Yanhe: Front and rear feet.

Li Zhibai: You might as well go get something for me first, if you haven’t gotten off the car yet.

Lu Yanhe:? Didn't you tell me earlier? I'm already downstairs! I am a wounded person!

Li Zhibai: Forgot.

Lu Yanhe: You ask Yan Liang to pick it up, he is still on the way anyway.

Li Zhibai: x-on:雁梁.

Yan Liang: Already offline, please do not disturb me.

Yan Liang: I just got off the high-speed train, it will take more than an hour to get here.

Li Zhibai: Damn.

Lu Yanhe: What is it? You don’t go to pick it up yourself, but let me pick it up.

Li Zhibai: Didn’t you forget it? It will be there in a few minutes.

Lu Yanhe: OK, OK, send me the address and I’ll go.

Li Zhibai immediately threw an address over.

Lu Yanhe sent the address to Zou Dong and said, “Brother Dong, I have to trouble you to take me here. I want to help Li Zhibai pick up something.”

Zou Dong nodded and said yes.

Lu Yanhe asked in the group again: What is it that you asked me to pick up?

Li Zhibai: A friend brought it to me. You were not there at the time, so I asked him to put it in the Shanju Club next to me.

Shanju Club is the most high-end club in the Ziyuan Bridge area.

Li Zhibai is a frequent visitor there.

People must be happy to let Li Zhibai pick it up on their behalf.

When they reached the door, Zou Dong said, "I'll go get it."

Lu Yanhe: "It's okay, I'll go. If you go, they may not give it to you immediately. They have to call Li Zhibai to confirm your identity. It's not that I can't walk, I just walk slower."

Zou Dong nodded and accompanied Lu Yanhe.

At this time, there seemed to be no one in the Shanju Club.

Zou Dong opened the door and Lu Yanhe walked in.

"Bang-bang-bang" Suddenly, several explosions similar to gunshots rang out.

Before Lu Yanhe could react, he was pulled behind him by Zou Dong and hid outside the door.

Lu Yanhe's wound, which had almost healed, was torn suddenly, making him pale with pain.

The next second, Zou Dong's serious and solemn face suddenly became dull.

Colorful pieces of paper and notes fell from the air, and many people rushed out from behind the walls on both sides of the door.

"Happy birthday!"

Leading them were Li Zhibai, Yan Liang and others.

As a result, after a group of people rushed out happily, they saw Lu Yanhe's face full of pain, his facial features were distorted, and his face was pale.

"..."

-

Lu Yanhe really forgot that today was his birthday.

In a blink of an eye, he has been in this world for three years.

He always remembers the birthday before he traveled through time, not the current one.

He finally recovered, took two breaths, and looked at the large group of people who appeared in front of him.

Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, Peng Zhixing, Song Linxin, Liu Zhiyin, Qin Zhibai...

Chen Siqi, Li Pengfei, Chen Qin...

Mao Jiayang, Xiao Jing, Zhou Mukai, Wang Xiao...

Lu Yanhe smiled and shook his head, saying: "What kind of surprise are you doing? The surprise almost turned into an accident."

Zou Dong looked embarrassed and apologized to Lu Yanhe, saying: "Sorry, I made a mistake."

Lu Yanhe: "Brother Dong, you reacted so quickly, I have to thank you, if you want to blame someone, blame these people for scaring you."

Li Zhibai and others did not expect that the well-prepared surprise would result in such a result.

Zou Dong, the bodyguard, was too capable. He heard the sound of two salutes and mistakenly thought that someone was shooting at Lu Yanhe. Of course, thinking about it afterwards, this was even more ridiculous, but at that moment, Lu Yanhe did not react.

"Are you recovered? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Yan Liang asked.

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I'm over it now. I'm much better."

-

Li Zhibai booked the Shanju Club today and held a small party. He also invited Lu Yanhe's friends and classmates.

Sure enough, the courtyard in the Shanju Club was fully decorated, with a buffet and a live band.

The last birthday party was organized by Chen Ziyan, but this time, it was someone Lu Yanhe was familiar with.

Lu Yanhe did not expect that Li Zhibai even called Wang Xiao.

Li Zhibai had dealt with Mao Jiayang and others, but Wang Xiao was really unfamiliar to him.

Chen Siqi whispered in Lu Yanhe's ear: "He showed me the list specifically, afraid that he might miss someone."

Lu Yanhe thought, no wonder.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang organized this party and prepared this surprise for Lu Yanhe, which took almost a week.

They had to book the venue, prepare food and drinks, contact people, confirm the time, and hide it from Lu Yanhe in this situation so that Lu Yanhe would not have any suspicion.

Li Pengfei hooked Lu Yanhe's shoulder and asked, "Your neck shouldn't be injured, right? Can you hook it?"

"You've already hooked it, don't you feel guilty asking this question again?"

Li Pengfei smiled and said, "I just remembered it after I hooked it."

Lu Yanhe asked, "What are you doing recently?"

Li Pengfei: "I'm hiking in the mountains with people everywhere, embracing nature and living in harmony with nature."

Lu Yanhe: "I'm envious, you can completely put yourself in nature."

Li Pengfei: "When do you have time, I'll take you there."

Lu Yanhe: "Okay, how long does it usually take?"

"Two or three days is a two or three days trip, and the longest can be ten days or half a month." Li Pengfei said, "Take it slowly, as you have never done similar activities before, start with simple and basic ones."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said yes.

Lu Yanhe said, "But I will definitely not be able to do it in the next two or three months."

"Your injury hasn't healed for so long? Didn't you say you didn't have a fracture?"

"It's just that there's no fracture, but it's still very seriously injured. I don't know where the little toe of my foot was pinned, and there's a bone fracture." Lu Yanhe explained, "The injury on my thigh is not fully healed yet."

Li Pengfei frowned when he heard this.

"Why is it so serious?"

Lu Yanhe: "It's okay, it's okay. It's a miracle that there are no fractures."

Li Pengfei: "You haven't even filmed an action scene yet, and you are injured like this. When you film an action film in the future, you are not allowed to go to the hospital directly?"

Lu Yanhe: "Bah!"

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and then said, "But with my body, what kind of action scenes can I do?"

Li Pengfei: "You have been learning horse riding and archery in the past few years. I thought you just wanted to make martial arts movies."

Lu Yanhe: “I want to shoot, but I don’t have the ability.”

"Lian Bei, do you think that every actor in a martial arts film is from the Lian family?" Li Pengfei said, "Not all of them are trained."

Lu Yanhe looked at him sideways, "You said it quite easily."

Li Pengfei: "I'm not an actor, so of course I speak lightly."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Nothing to say.

-

"The ending theme you sang for "Late Spring" is very nice." Lu Yanhe said to Song Linxin, "Did you write it yourself?"

"Yes." Song Linxin nodded, "I was surprised when the director found me and asked me to sing."

"Why are you surprised?"

"You can obviously write songs, why did you find me to write them?" Song Linxin said.

"I think you are more suitable. He has never told me about the song invitation." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

Liu Bige is obviously not interested in the songs he wrote before and prefers Song Linxin's style.

He is such a person who always only wants the best.

Song Linxin said: "We were all waiting for you to come back to record "Young Days", but it turned out that you just didn't come."

"I can't help it. I'm so inconvenient and can't participate in your activities. Why are you here, to be a mascot?" Lu Yanhe said, "I will come in the last episode. I promised Director Zhenzhen, let's come together. Recording the end of this season with everyone.”

Song Linxin said: "Really? Why did she tell us that you won't participate in the recording of subsequent programs? Uh-"

Song Linxin suddenly reacted, "She also wants to create a surprise for us, right?"

Lu Yanhe also came to his senses.

"Well."

Song Linxin: "What kind of surprise can this create? Don't Li Zhibai and Yan Liang know whether you are coming or not?"

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "I haven't told them yet."

Song Linxin: "Then just pretend I didn't hear it."

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

-

Song Linxin has sung several film and television drama OSTs in the past six months. In the film and television drama OST market, she seems to be rushing towards the throne.

Compared to her, Ryu Ji Eum and Qin Ji Baek are more focused on music variety performances and music festival performances such as "Idol Era".

I don’t know how the wind blows, but now music festivals are springing up all over the country, and singers suddenly have more stages.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang have received many invitations to perform at music festivals during this period.

The same goes for Lu Yanhe, but because he was filming and injured, he couldn't accept the invitation.

Almost every music festival wants to reproduce the classic program where the three of them share the stage. However, it is too difficult to get the schedules of the three of them together. Moreover, it will take a long time to put the three of them together on the same stage. The money is not a small amount, and it is not something that ordinary music festivals can afford.

Liu Zhiyin chatted with Lu Yanhe about her troubles.

"I'm a little unsure about the positioning and style." She said, "When I was in the girl group, I mainly focused on dance music or K-POP, but this type of music is not particularly popular in China, but I don't do this , what I am best at is gone. I have changed it several times, trying to find a style that suits me best, but so far, I haven’t received particularly good feedback.”

Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Zhiyin, I think your current performance stage is mainly based on "Idol Era" and music festivals. On the "Idol Era" program, you can use the K-POP stage that you are best at as your main stage. Lord, I occasionally put out one or two songs to try innovative or other styles of performances to see how everyone responds. At music festivals, in fact, from my understanding, the audience attending music festivals will be more tolerant. You can do this in this Make bolder innovations and attempts on stage, and don’t worry about disappointing them. Just tell them openly that you want to try a new style, and tell them that they are the first audience. Their tolerance is much higher than that of the general audience. . Mainly depends on everyone’s feedback. Of course, I think Sister Zhiyin, you can try any style. Your stage ability is very strong. I have seen you on many stages and I like almost every one of them.”

Liu Zhiyin looked at him in surprise, "Huh? Have you seen many of my stages?"

"Well, I am a loyal audience of "Idol Era", and I also like listening to music. I listen to many music genres and new music." Lu Yanhe said, "I know you are now in "Idol Era" This program is very popular and ranks in the first echelon.”

This show is perfect for Ryu Ji-yin, who has experience in a girl group.

The stage skills she has accumulated are fully unleashed in this show.

Lu Yanhe added: "I think the most important thing for you now is to break the circle and let people who don't pay attention to K-POP music see your performance. You can sing more in places where you don't usually appear, so that more people can know you."

Liu Zhiyin smiled and said: "I have been planning this. Last month, I participated in a public welfare program of CCTV and sang for children in mountainous areas."

Lu Yanhe: "I saw that video. I have never seen you sing such a cute and gentle children's song."

To be honest, Liu Zhiyin's voice conditions are better than Lu Yanhe's.

The recognition and thickness of her singing voice are superior to Lu Yanhe's voice.

Liu Zhiyin: "Your vision and judgment are beyond my imagination, Yanhe, how can you have such a sharp vision at such a young age?"

Lu Yanhe laughed, "No, I just see a lot, hear a lot, and parrot."

Liu Zhiyin: "If a parrot can have such insights, I will hurry to learn it."

She smiled and looked at Lu Yanhe, "I am very happy to see that your new film is so popular at the Venice Film Festival. I don't know if I have told you that it is really difficult for me to make friends with other artists since my debut, but in the show "Young Days", I met you guys, who are very good people, and I didn't stop contacting you just because the show was recorded. I don't know how many times I have encountered such a situation before. When I am with you, I don't have to worry about being backstabbed, nor do I have to I am not worried about other things. On the contrary, you all sincerely help me gain a foothold in China. I am very touched. I rarely feel happy for other people's achievements in the past, but your achievements make me feel this way. "

Lu Yanhe also smiled at Liu Zhiyin and said, "Sister Zhiyin, you are a very good person. You couldn't be a kind person before because the people around you didn't show you kindness. When we show you kindness, you will break down your defenses. "

Liu Zhiyin smiled happily and said, "Okay, I accept your compliments. I also think I am a very good person. "

"You will definitely become the top female idol in our country." Lu Yanhe said, "I believe in you."

Liu Zhiyin: "OK, I will work hard!"

She made a gesture to cheer herself up.

-

Lu Yanhe's birthday party was private.

There were so many people, but in the end no photos were posted on the Internet.

Lu Yanhe was very happy.

This shows that his friends are really reliable friends.

However, although no one posted it, Lu Yanhe wanted to post it himself.

This was a moment of surprise and joy for him, and he wanted to share such a moment.

So, he finally posted the group photo on his social platform, saying: "I hurried back from Venice because tomorrow is a day of classes, and I forgot that today is my 21st birthday. Fortunately, in life, you may forget important days, but your friends will not. A huge surprise and touching!"

In the group photo, Lu Yanhe stood next to a three-layer cake and closed his eyes to make a wish.

Everyone stood beside him, looking at him with smiles.

Lu Yanhe made three wishes at that time: one is that he and the people around him are healthy and auspicious, two is that all efforts will be rewarded and hard work will be harvested, and three is that the world will be peaceful.

The three wishes were made in his heart, not spoken out.

No one was told.

-

The next day, Lu Yanhe returned to school.

When his classmates saw him, they showed surprised expressions. Many people did not expect that he actually left the Venice International Film Festival and came back to class.

You know, even Miao Yue has not returned yet.

Although Lu Yanhe has been trying hard to maintain a good relationship with his classmates, it seems that efforts are always counterproductive.

Except for a few of them, Lu Yanhe's relationship with most of his classmates is ordinary and nothing special.

Of course, this is actually normal.

Few people can really maintain a good relationship with everyone.

Lu Yanhe finished the class seriously. After class, because he was too lazy to toss, he planned to stay in the classroom to study and wait for the afternoon class.

The afternoon class was in another classroom in this building.

Zhou Mukai knew that he was not mobile, so he asked if he could bring him lunch.

Lu Yanhe said yes, just bring a little.

Zhou Mukai went to the cafeteria to eat by himself, and brought back a box of chicken leg rice for Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe ate it with relish.

At noon, there were only two of them in the classroom.

Lu Yanhe saw Zhou Mukai take out a laptop from his bag, and it seemed that he was also going to study here for a while.

"Aren't you going back at noon?" Lu Yanhe asked.

There were still more than two hours in between, so Zhou Mukai could have gone back to the dormitory to take a nap before coming back.

Zhou Mukai said, "It's hot, I don't want to run back and forth, anyway I'm going back to write a paper."

Lu Yanhe nodded and asked, "Are you going to graduate school?"

Zhou Mukai hesitated and shook his head, "I haven't decided yet."

He asked, "What about you?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I haven't decided yet, actually I want to study for a master's degree. I have gained a lot from studying in Zhenhua for a few years. I actually want to see what kind of thinking I will have when I study for a master's degree. I can often feel the changes in my own way of thinking in college."

Zhou Mukai nodded, "If that's the case, why haven't you thought about it yet?"

"Because the work with artists is very busy, if I continue to study for a master's degree, a lot of work will have to be postponed indefinitely." Lu Yanhe said, "I have a lot of things I want to do, and now I often feel that I don't have enough time."

Zhou Mukai nodded and said, "You are successful in everything you do. Indeed, every aspect is involving your energy."

"Do you like the editing work of "Jump Up"? "

"Well, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. The editing work has opened my eyes and brought me into contact with many people and things that I have never come into contact with before." Zhou Mukai laughed, "Now that I say it, I actually like it, except that I was a little flustered at the beginning and couldn't figure out the way, but it was fine after I got familiar with it."

Lu Yanhe nodded, "The business sectors of "Jump Up" are increasing, and I am very worried Everyone has a lot of things on hand, which leads to the decline of the quality of the magazine. Fortunately, you have joined us. "

"Editor-in-chief Chen is still very capable. Although the business sectors have increased, she has divided the tasks for everyone. Moreover, due to the shortage of manpower, she has also arranged funds to hire temporary part-time staff to handle many miscellaneous matters. "Zhou Mukai said, "The magazine has always been the highest priority. We have nearly three to four issues of manuscripts in reserve. Moreover, now we are generally producing magazines two months in advance, and the quality can still be guaranteed. "

Lu Yanhe: "She has always been a very capable and resourceful person."

"Sometimes I am surprised. In fact, it is her first time to make a magazine. Why do many things come to her hands, with a kind of calmness and proficiency that has been solved and handled many times, and she will not be afraid at all." Zhou Mukai said.

Lu Yanhe thought, because Chen Siqi is such a person, she knows that she can't be afraid. She is the editor-in-chief and she has to support everything. So in the face of big problems and difficulties, she requires herself to remain calm.

-

Chen Siqi walked under the scorching sun with a parasol, pushed open the door of a cafe, and a cool breeze hit her face, making her feel refreshed.

However, the cafe next to the university seems to be always crowded.

She finally found a seat, sat down, and ordered an Americano.

Lu Yanhe's class was not over until 5:40 in the afternoon, and she decided to work here for a few hours and wait for him to come out.

Unlike Lu Yanhe, Chen Siqi had very few classes this semester. She almost completed all the elective credits she needed to take in her freshman and sophomore years, and only had compulsory courses in her junior year.

So, today she happened to come here in the morning to have a meeting with an advertiser, and came to wait for Lu Yanhe in the afternoon.

After the sales of the July summer special issue of the magazine "Jump Up" experienced a small peak, the August issue saw a relatively large decline.

This change in data made Chen Siqi a little worried.

Any decline in sales data of an issue would make Chen Siqi rack her brains to figure out the reasons.

In the era of paper media, she could not afford to take it lightly.

The business of the new media sector is going smoothly.

But the traditional publication of journals is sailing against the current.

Advertisers often ask Chen Siqi to give up paper magazines, thinking that they have already established the brand of Jump Up, and use the time spent on magazines to run other business sectors, which will bring higher returns.

Chen Siqi smiled and let it go in one ear and out the other.

Stop "Jump Up"?

She never considered this option.

Of course, from the perspective of capital, she understands why so many people advised her to give up.

But that was not the reason why she wanted to do "Jump Up" in the first place.

A magazine has been running for more than two years. It is no longer just a simple business or the original sentiment.

It has become a stable publishing channel for many writers and teachers, and it also provides a hopeful destination for young people who are interested in literary creation.

It brings together a group of people, a group of creators who have been scattered all over the world with the end of the paper media era. They are gathered together again to publish their latest works in the magazine published every month. There are short stories, essays, and miscellaneous notes.

Now, Chen Siqi often faces a problem: too many manuscripts, but only a small amount of space in each issue, resulting in more and more accumulated manuscripts.

For many manuscripts suitable for new media, they will negotiate with the authors and publish them in new media, and the royalties will still be paid according to the magazine's high standards.

However, fictional creations are not suitable for publication in new media.

Chen Siqi has been thinking about how to solve this problem during this period.

Either increase the number of issues published each year, or increase the space in each issue.

Both options have pros and cons, and Chen Siqi has not thought it through yet.

Similarly, there is another thing Chen Siqi is planning.

She wants to promote "Jump Up" overseas.

It is definitely unrealistic to reproduce every issue, but Chen Siqi has thought that it can be made into a book like Mook and published overseas.

Then, make it into a series.

Chen Siqi is not motivated by any commercial considerations. She just has the ambition of a young person and wants to further expand the coverage and influence of "Jump Up".

Chen Siqi thought about it and typed out various ideas in her notebook.

An afternoon passed in a flash.

The phone buzzed twice, and Lu Yanhe sent a message: I'm done with get out of class, where are you? -

Please give me a monthly ticket!
