Chapter 137: Try harder after drinking chicken soup
Is Chen Ziyan’s interview about to begin? The news that Yan Liang told him made him fall into deep thought.
Li Zhibai told him at the beginning that according to the termination agreement he signed with Zhou Pingan, as long as he changes to another agent and this agent is willing to take him, then the termination agreement will not take effect because the content of the agreement is stipulated and will take effect. The premise is that the company still wants to terminate the contract with Lu Yanhe at that time.
In this matter, it is the broker who represents the company's attitude.
Jiang Yuqian also told him that in his situation, he could consider trying to find another agent. If he could get Chen Ziyan's favor, all the negative effects Zhou Ping'an had on him would disappear.
Lu Yanhe walked to the bus stop thoughtfully.
The wind in the morning is not strong, but it is not gentle at all. If it blows even a little bit, it will feel cold.
It's only November.
I don’t know how cold it will be when the middle of winter arrives.
"Didi——" The car horn sounded familiar.
Lu Yanhe looked up, and sure enough, it was Qiu Ling's car.
He gets a ride from Qiu Ling almost every month.
"Good morning, Sister Qiu Ling." Lu Yanhe got into the car and showed a bright smile.
Qiu Ling let out a long yawn and looked tired, as if she had stayed up all night.
"Didn't you sleep last night?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Qiuling said: "It can't be said that I didn't sleep at all. I slept for half an hour."
"Why did you stay up late again?"
"The work is confidential, don't ask." After Qiu Ling finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Yanhe and said, "You slept well yesterday. Look how refreshed you are."
Lu Yanhe nodded, feeling very refreshed and said, "I had a good sleep yesterday."
"Hey, what time did you go to bed?"
"Twelve o'clock."
Qiu Ling looked over with disgust, "You call this full sleep?"
"It's okay, I've slept for six hours." Lu Yanhe said, "The main reason is that time is so precious now. If I had a better foundation, I wouldn't have to work so hard."
"Take it easy."
"Fortunately, no matter how hard you endure, it will only end in June next year. Sister Qiuling, just take it easy. I will finish the exam in June next year, and you won't change jobs next June."
Qiu Ling: "With the nature of the work, there's nothing we can do about it, but we're fine. We can sleep well when we're not busy."
After saying this, Qiu Ling felt quite uncomfortable. Why did these words sound so bitter?
Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Qiuling, it's so cold. After you've been busy for a while, let's go eat Malatang again."
"Okay." Qiu Ling saw the joy on his face, "What, is there anything good?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Thank you for what you told me last time. It made me change some practices. I didn't expect that I got some unexpected rewards."
"Yo, congratulations."
"The drama "Golden Age" was finally won." Lu Yanhe said to Qiu Ling, "After the college entrance examination is over, I will join the crew to film and officially become an actor."
"Oh." Qiu Ling smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for your show to air. I'll give you a shout-out when the time comes."
"Well, thank you Sister Qiuling."
Qiu Ling took Lu Yanhe to the gate of No. [-] Middle School and stopped by the roadside.
"arrive."
"Bye-Bye."
When Lu Yanhe got out of the car, Qiu Ling suddenly let out a sigh.
Lu Yanhe saw Qiu Ling looking forward with some confusion. He followed her gaze and saw Su Su.
"Oh, Teacher Su." Lu Yanhe stood outside the car door and asked, "Have you met Teacher Su again later?"
"We chatted on WeChat, but neither of us had the interest, so we didn't make an appointment." Qiuling said, "The world is quite small, and he actually became your history teacher."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Then I'm leaving, bye." Lu Yanhe closed the car door and walked towards the school gate.
Su Su looked over and saw him.
"Yan He, you're here so early." Su Su greeted him with a smile.
"Teacher Su, you're early too."
"I live nearby, so I came here when I woke up." Su Su asked, "I sorted out the incorrectly scored questions in your recent quizzes, and found that your understanding and reserve of the official system of each dynasty are insufficient. Once you are flexible with the questions, you will be wrong.”
"Yes, indeed."
Su Su said: "Go back and sort out the content of this section yourself. Next time you come and explain this section to the class, I will listen below. Don't be afraid if you make mistakes, I will correct them one by one."
"what?"
"Afraid of embarrassment?"
"That's not true, but I do feel that I don't have that ability and I'm afraid of saying something wrong."
"How good, just right. Let's talk about it. Let the classmates pick out the mistakes and see who makes the most mistakes and is the most accurate. In this way, your subjective initiative can also be mobilized. Compared with passively listening to me, this method is more effective. It can arouse your interest."
"alright." - Lu Yanhe quite likes Su Su's teaching model.
He often uses this method to drive everyone to become more actively familiar with and accumulate knowledge.
Everyone works hard, but the effects of passive efforts and active efforts are completely different.
If the group of people in the class were to listen to his lectures, they would definitely not be very interested, but if they were to criticize him, their interest would come immediately.
The evil of human nature.
Lu Yanhe smiled and was once again grateful to be able to meet these teachers.
Everyone has different characteristics and different teaching methods, but they all focus on helping everyone improve their grades.
Moreover, what surprised Lu Yanhe the most was that they never flattered others and never gave up on any student.
Up to now, Liu Qin is still saying: "It's not too late to start working hard from now on. Everyone must understand one truth. Miracles don't happen for no reason. Miracles happen in your own hands. No matter how hard you work, there will be miracles." How big."
Lu Yanhe quite likes listening to Liu Qin talk about these chicken soups, because the boring and hard work is too long, and he needs some chicken soup to replenish his energy and cheer up his spirit.
At noon, many students in the classroom were sleeping on their desks.
Lu Yanhe felt a little dizzy while reading. He felt that the classroom was stuffy because the doors and windows were closed, so he put on his headphones and prepared to go for a walk on the playground to get some fresh air.
"Where are you going?" Li Pengfei, who was struggling with a math problem, asked when he saw him putting on his headphones and going out.
"Go to the playground and take a breather." Lu Yanhe said.
"Oh." Li Pengfei scratched his head in pain, "I think my brain cells are going to die. I'll think about it again. Why don't you go to the canteen and bring me back a bottle of Red Bull."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.
He came to the playground.
There are usually many people on the playground at noon, and many people like to come for a walk.
But because of the cold weather recently, there are almost no people on the playground.
Today too.
The reason why I say almost is because Lu Yanhe still saw someone.
I could see her from a distance, circling the playground, her head lowered, her hands in her pockets, her figure very silent.
It's Xu Zijun.
Ever since he failed the last test, Xu Zijun has become even more taciturn in class.
Li Xiang usually had a close and close relationship with her, but now they almost don't talk to each other.
She didn't speak, and no one dared to talk to her. She dropped dozens of places in her grade ranking. For Xu Zijun, it was like falling from a top university to an ordinary 985.
Lu Yanhe walked into the playground and walked clockwise with Xu Zijun in the same direction.
He didn't go to say hello to Xu Zijun, nor did he go to cheer Xu Zijun stupidly.
Although he didn't have much contact with Xu Zijun, Lu Yanhe had an impression of Xu Zijun, a kind of grass-roots impression, simple and inconspicuous, not so beautiful in appearance, and not having a prominent family background, but he was like no one in the world. The corner of attention grows stubbornly.
Xu Zijun's performance has dropped so much. It is definitely not a matter of hard work or not, but a matter of state.
She only needs to adjust her condition, and her previous results will naturally come back.
Xu Zijun walked around twice and left the playground.
Lu Yanhe didn't know if she had seen him, because she kept her head down. If she didn't raise her head and look far away, she might not notice that there was another person on the playground.
Lu Yanhe only hoped that she would quickly find her own state.
In the next few days, whenever Lu Yanhe felt a little bored at noon, he would go to the playground for a walk.
He often meets Xu Zijun.
She always lowered her head and was alone. - December, the fourth monthly exam.
On the day of the exam, it happened to snow.
Lu Yanhe saw a woman riding an electric motorcycle on the bus and fell while turning a corner. It hurt just to look at her.
But luckily someone passed by and helped her up.
When the weather gets cold, people's movements become clumsy.
When Lu Yanhe took the Chinese language test, he almost didn't finish the essay.
My fingers were a little stiff from the cold.
As soon as the Chinese test was over, Li Pengfei greeted him: "Why don't you go buy something to drink? It's so cold. Damn it, I'm numb from the cold and my feet are cold."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He is also cold.
I sat there for two hours, and there was no heating in the classroom, so it was extremely cold.
Li Pengfei said happily: "I think I did a good job in writing today's essay. I should get more than 48 points."
Although the date for the college entrance examination is approaching, Li Pengfei does not feel any nervousness and is still a cheerful canteen was crowded with people, all coming to buy snacks.
They were probably all hungry.
It's only eleven o'clock now, and the cafeteria isn't open yet.
Li Pengfei finally grabbed two bottles of hot milk tea and squeezed his way out of the crowd.
"I'll go, the Spring Festival Transport train is nothing more than that," he said.
"You actually know about the Spring Festival?"
"Broadcast news every year, I'm not blind."
There was no way to go to the canteen, so they had no choice but to go back to the classroom.
"Lao Lu, seriously, which university is your target?" Li Pengfei asked.
Lu Yanhe glanced at him and said, "I told you earlier, Zhenhua or Yuming."
"..." Li Pengfei rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "You still refuse to tell the truth."
"This is the truth, really." Lu Yanhe smiled, "Why can't I take the test for Zhenhua and Yuming?"
"Look at your current results. Do you think you said you would be admitted to Zhenhua and Yuming? Is it realistic?"
"There are still six months left, so we can continue to work hard." Lu Yanhe raised his chin, "Aren't you going to stop working hard?"
"It's a joke, Brother Fei, I'm really good at studying now, you know?" Li Pengfei immediately said not to be outdone, "I'm telling you, I will definitely surpass that idiot Luo Zicheng in this exam."
He does hold a grudge, and now he still remembers to surpass Luo Zicheng.
Lu Yanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "What should I do if it doesn't exceed the limit?"
Judging from Li Pengfei's usual behavior, he must be betting.
As a result, he now said: "If you don't exceed it, you can do it next time."
"It's boring."
"Haha, you little guy, you want to lie to me and make a bet." - After finishing the last subject of the monthly exam, Lu Yanhe followed his usual practice and did not stay at school to study at night, but went back.
I will go to bed early at night to give myself more time to rest.
But at nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Yanhe received a call from Zhou Pingan.
Zhou Ping'an brought a piece of news that was not very good.
"This time it's not me who is in the way, someone is eyeing your character." Zhou Ping'an said, "You know Chen Ziliang."
Lu Yanhe suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Ah?" He didn't react at once, "Isn't he a singer?"
Zhou Ping'an: "It's not unusual to cross circles. Many singers have become actors."
Lu Yanhe said, "Did Director Luo tell you that he wants to replace me?"
"That's not true. Your acting agreement has been sent over. They haven't gone through the legal process yet. They will not return the two copies until they are signed and sealed." Zhou Pingan said, "Even if you sign the contract, there will be cases where it is intercepted, even more so. Don't talk about this situation where the contract has not been fully signed. Forget it for others. Chen Ziliang is much more popular than you. He is willing to play such a guest role. It is a sure-profit business for this drama. I After hearing the rumors, investors and broadcast platforms are more inclined to use him."
Lu Yanhe asked: "How to deal with this kind of situation?"
"First of all, let me make it clear to you. I won't take action in this matter, but I can tell you a few ways. Whether you can do it depends on your own ability." Zhou Pingan said bluntly, "First, find out Use his dirty information to make the film crew dare not use him. Secondly, you can come up with something that can impress the film crew more and make the film crew give up on him. Thirdly, to get Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian, as long as the director and starring actors agree. If you play this role, you can still make investors and broadcast platforms change their minds."
After Lu Yanhe heard what Zhou Ping'an said, he said hello.
"But let me tell you something from my heart. Don't worry about it. This is how the world is. Those who are popular are favored and those who are not popular are shunned. If you want to compete with Chen Ziliang, you must first sit at the same table with him. "Zhou Ping'an asked, "Do you think you and him can sit at the same table?"
Lu Yanhe was silent for a moment and said, "Why not? I got this role through auditions. He relied on popularity and popularity, so everyone should rely on their abilities."
Zhou Ping'an snorted, "You're quite high-spirited."
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, it wasn't that he was arrogant, it was because he only had this chance.
How could he obediently give up to others just because Chen Ziliang wanted to steal it.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.
Why did Chen Ziliang play such a role?This question first popped up in Lu Yanhe's mind.
He is such a popular singer. He can just sing well in his own track. Why should he act? Even if he wants to develop across circles, he can play a more important role instead of just appearing in "The Golden Age". A character in less than three episodes.
Lu Yanhe's mind flashed to the scene when he and Jiang Yuqian met Chen Ziliang in the morning tea restaurant.
Is it for her? - "Are you sure you want to do this?"
In the dressing room, Yan Wei looked at Chen Ziliang helplessly, implying that she did not support Chen Ziliang's decision.
But what Chen Ziliang wants to do, even if his agent objects, it is useless.
Just like the last time Chen Ziliang stopped recording, he couldn't persuade this person to change his mind no matter what he said.
Chen Ziliang sat in front of the dressing table, glanced at himself in the mirror, and asked the makeup artist: "Am I any worse in appearance than those actors?"
The makeup artist complimented very enthusiastically: "How is that possible? You are very handsome and very recognizable."
Chen Ziliang raised the corners of his mouth and glanced at Yan Weiwei.
"What's the point of singing all the time? Fans are tired of hearing it. I have to act in a show to feel fresh, right?"
"You have never acted before." Yan Wei still tried his best to persuade her, "If you fail in your performance, you will be ridiculed by the Internet, which will not be good for you."
"I haven't even acted yet, and you already know that I'm going to be a bad actor?" Chen Ziliang immediately frowned, "Hasn't Lu Yanhe never acted before? How dare he act?"
Yan Wei thought to himself, that person got the role through a serious audition, so he must have a lot of skills, which is completely different from you, who relies on popularity to grab roles.
But there is no way you can actually say these words to Chen Ziliang, otherwise he would directly perform a fire-breathing dragon transformation for you on the spot.
Ever since he became popular, Chen Ziliang dislikes hearing these unpleasant words less and less.
Yan Wei could only say: "Lu Yan Heyan is also scolded. He is just an idol artist. Apart from his good-looking face, he can't do anything."
After Chen Ziliang heard what Yan Wei said, he took it in a little bit.
"Oh, there aren't many roles for that role anyway. If it doesn't work, I'll find an acting teacher and learn from it." Chen Ziliang said, "But this role is Yuqian's first love in the play, so of course I can't let anyone else do it. play."
...Yuqian.
Yan Wei thought to himself, if Jiang Yuqian has any thoughts about you, she won't have this attitude now.
"Especially Lu Yanhe." Chen Ziliang suddenly thought of something, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Yan Wei knew that Chen Ziliang disliked Lu Yanhe and even hated since his feud in "Little Songs", Chen Ziliang has regarded this young idol as a thorn in his side.
Unable to persuade Chen Ziliang, Yan Wei had no choice but to say: "If you want to play this role, you need the approval of director Luo Yuzhong. I heard that he had agreed to give the role to Lu Yanhe before. Both parties are negotiating the contract. Director Luo If you don’t nod, it’s useless for investors and broadcast platforms to care about you.”
"I heard that Director Luo likes Mr. Zhang Shansan's paintings very much. Didn't I take a picture of one of his paintings at last year's charity dinner? You make an appointment with Director Luo to meet, so that I can chat with him in person."
Chen Ziliang has long thought about how to publicize Luo Yuzhong, and even knows whose paintings he likes.
Yan Weiwei knew from hearing this that Chen Ziliang had made up his mind to snatch this role away from Lu Yanhe. - Lu Yanhe did not go to Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian immediately.
They didn't say anything, but you hurriedly went to find them. They might think that you didn't believe them at all, and that it was raining on your ears.
Lu Yanhe carefully searched Chen Ziliang's information on the Internet.
What can he do?
Without the power of a company and an agent, he would be just an ordinary senior high school student, unable to do anything.
But it's better than doing nothing.
Because he was thinking about this matter in his mind, when he came back to his senses, he found that he had been idle for almost half an hour. - The monthly exam results come out.
Lu Yanhe improved again this time. He improved to the 165th place in his grade.
Even before it was announced, it had already caused heated discussions in teachers' offices.
"Lu Yanhe in your class is a bit of a genius. In just a few months, he went from being ranked outside the top 165 in his grade to being ranked [-]th in his grade. If he continues like this, will he be able to pass the first-tier exam in the end?"
In the office, other teachers said to Liu Qin.
Lu Yanhe's continued progress also surprised Liu Qin.
She knew that Lu Yanhe worked hard, and she often said that as long as she was willing to work hard, it was never too late to start. But in fact, the following words were meant to encourage students. Is it really not too late?Liu Qin also knew that it was simply unrealistic.
Starting to work hard as a freshman in high school is a completely different foundation than starting to work hard as a senior in high school.
Except for a very few gifted students, the gap in achievement is widened by accumulated differences over time.
The higher the ranking, the harder it is to improve, and there may even be a bottleneck period. After all, while you are improving, others are also improving. It is not just you who work hard to answer questions and read books, and you will never stop improving.
It is a small miracle that Lu Yanhe can maintain this kind of progress.
Liu Qin also wanted to know how far Lu Yanhe could improve.
At the same time, she also felt a little regretful in her heart. It would have been better if Lu Yanhe had changed tracks earlier and shifted his focus to studying. - Some people are born with a sense of responsibility, and Liu Qin is such a person.
She chose to be a teacher because she loves helping these young children take a step forward.
She doesn't want to give up on everyone because she always wants to do her best to prevent others from leaving regrets in their lives. - The fact that Lu Yanhe improved his grade ranking in four consecutive exams spread throughout the grade.
A person has completed a leap from being ranked in the top 500 to being ranked in the top 100 in four months. According to the results of previous years, this is a leap from a junior college to a second-tier college. It is like crossing a huge distance.
With this kind of progress, in the minds of many students, he almost became a god.
Lu Yanhe heard about his results from others before he even saw his ranking.
When Liu Qin brought over the class report card, the whole class knew that Lu Yanhe had ranked 165th in his grade this time.
Li Pengfei's eyes turned red with envy.
"You beast, how can you make progress every time?"
Lu Yanhe was still thinking about how to solve the problem of Chen Ziliang stealing his role, but when he came back to his senses, he saw everyone looking at him with envy and jealousy.
According to the results of previous years, the first-tier students in their school are generally around 120th grade. Therefore, he was able to get 165th, which is almost enough to choose a good school among the second-tier schools.
Lu Yanhe smiled at Li Pengfei and said, "Then do your best."
"Of course I will work hard!" After Li Pengfei finished speaking, he sighed again, "Why haven't our class's score sheets been sent over yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qin entered the classroom with the grade list of their class.
Liu Qin had a bright smile on her face.
"Everyone did well in the exam this time."
