A small table for four.
Lu Yanhe sat next to Vice President Ma, and Lin Miaomiao sat next to Lin Desheng. This arrangement made Lu Yanhe feel a little awkward for some reason.
The previous audition for "The Golden Age" made Lu Yanhe realize that Vice President Ma's attitude towards him was the same as Zhou Ping'an's, which means that Vice President Ma was one of the people who wanted to kick Lu Yanhe out of the company.
But after that, Lu Yanhe never had any contact with Vice President Ma again.
Now that I think about it, he signed back with the company, which must have made Vice President Ma quite unhappy.
Coming back to his senses, Lu Yanhe turned his attention back to the conversation between Lin Desheng and Vice President Ma.
The two people were still discussing subsequent cooperation. Unlike his imagination of this kind of business meeting, in fact, the two people were not talking about business most of the time, but about some predictions and prospects for the future of the entertainment industry.
At first glance, it seems to have nothing to do with the cooperation between the two companies.
But after listening carefully, I found that they are still quite related.
For example, Vice President Ma's judgment on the idol market has led him to emphasize many times that Star Entertainment Agency has a reserve advantage in hundreds of young idol artists. Although talent shows have declined in the past two years, no one knows when the spring breeze of talent shows will blow again. By then, these young idol artists of Star Entertainment Agency will be the resources that major platforms will compete for. After all, high-quality idols are always the most scarce resources for a talent show.
Their predictions about the future actually also affect their current layout.
Lin Desheng stated that Northern Lights Video will be launching programs focused on idol artists over the next few years. He believes that with economic development, the pursuit of idols will only grow stronger. In a rapidly developing society, people are increasingly drawn to more sophisticated and fashionable things. The internet, on the other hand, can greatly expand these concepts, constantly creating new trends.
Lu Yanhe listened to the two of them talking and felt that he had gained a lot.
As he was listening, Lin Desheng suddenly turned around and asked, "Xiao Lu, you debuted as an idol artist before, right? Are you planning to be an idol again in the future? I heard from Miaomiao that you changed your agent and are going to act in the future?"
Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that Vice President Ma, who was sitting next to him, was looking at him with a burning gaze.
Lu Yanhe glanced at Vice President Ma in confusion.
He didn't know what Vice President Ma was worried about.
"Now we're just trying everything out," Lu Yanhe said. "My agent told me that I'm only eighteen, so there's no need to rush into deciding on my future path."
Lin Desheng nodded and said, "Your agent has a long-term vision. Unlike some agents I know who are too eager for quick success, you two should really try more at this time to find the path that suits you best."
Lin Miaomiao immediately said, "Of course, Dad, do you know who Lu Yanhe's current agent is?"
Lin Desheng asked, "Who is it? Do I know him?"
Lin Miaomiao snorted and said, "His current manager is Chen Ziyan. Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou were both brought up by her."
Lin Desheng was a little surprised.
Lu Yanhe was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Miaomiao also knew about this.
The news of his change of agent has not spread widely. Basically, only people in the company know about it. How did Lin Miaomiao know about it?
Lin Miaomiao seemed to know a lot about him.
The smile on Vice President Ma's face became a little forced.
He has always downplayed Chen Ziyan's presence in external work, especially not wanting Chen Ziyan to appear in the cooperation led by him.
Not only did he suddenly drag Lu Yanhe into this, but he also started talking about Chen Ziyan again.
Lin Desheng looked at Lu Yanhe and said, "Miaomiao has been praising you to me. I heard that you have good grades. Which university are you planning to attend?"
"We'll know after the scores come out." Lu Yanhe didn't directly say that he was going to Zhenhua or Yuming. It's better to be humble in front of people he doesn't know well.
"If you can really get into Zhenhua or Yuming, I will give you a play and let you star in it," said Lin Desheng.
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Lin Desheng asked with a smile: "Why, you're still not happy?"
Lu Yanhe hesitated a bit and said, "It was mainly because it was a bit sudden and I didn't react."
What he didn't say out loud was that he felt that they were not related at all, and suddenly they were going to give him a play, which sounded too unreasonable.
Lu Yanhe really wanted to act, but he was a little hesitant to accept this role that had been so unexpectedly offered to him. It was like picking up money on the street. If you found a hundred yuan, you'd think you were lucky and happily put it in your pocket to buy something. But if you found tens of thousands of yuan in one go, you wouldn't be able to accept the money with a clear conscience.
There is no free lunch in the world.
His hesitant expression caught Lin Desheng's eyes, making him even more satisfied with him.
Today, Lin Desheng showed such a strong affection for Lu Yanhe in public. It was because his daughter had been mentioning Lu Yanhe's name all day long in the past six months.
Lu Yanhe's performance today exceeded Lin Desheng's expectations.
Especially when he said he wanted to give Lu Yanhe a play, the latter's reaction was not ecstatic or excited to thank him, but rather he was a little hesitant to accept it. This caution and calmness in the face of huge interests made Lin Desheng quite admire him.

After the conversation in the Sky Garden, Lu Yanhe no longer participated in their subsequent itinerary.
Lu Yanhe quietly explained to Lin Miaomiao that he had classes in the afternoon, and then prepared to return to his rehearsal room.
Lin Miaomiao stopped him and asked, "Why weren't you happy when my dad said he wanted to give you a play?"
Lu Yanhe didn't know how to explain it to Lin Miaomiao.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I feel like such a big gift is unacceptable to him, considering we have no relationship at all." Lu Yanhe finally told Lin Miaomiao directly, "He gave me this opportunity because of you."
Lin Miaomiao frowned, "Is it because of me that you don't want to accept it?"
"No." Lu Yanhe didn't know how to explain to Lin Miaomiao for a moment.
Many things are not so easy to explain clearly.
He wanted to say that he knew it was well-intentioned, but he didn't want to accept such kindness.
But the reason is that it will hurt Lin Miaomiao - because our relationship is not that good yet, I feel unworthy of such kindness.
In the end, Lu Yanhe became the one who had nothing to say.
"Forget it, whatever you want." Lin Miaomiao curled her lips. "Anyway, you have Chen Ziyan as your agent now, so you won't be bullied by Zhou Pingan in the future."
Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Miaomiao asked.
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, how do you know so much about me?"
Lin Miaomiao's eyes suddenly became vague, and her gaze, which was originally looking directly at Lu Yanhe, suddenly turned to the side.
"I just heard some things from others," Lin Miaomiao said. "How dare you ask me that? You were bullied by your previous agent so much, how come you didn't fight back?"
In Lin Miaomiao's eyes, Lu Yanhe is a good-tempered guy. He was about to be kicked out of the company by Zhou Ping'an, but he still obediently signed the termination agreement.
She heard most of this information from Hou Jun, the director of "Xiao Ge Ju Zhong Hui".
When Lin Miaomiao heard this, she was very angry and wanted to help Lu Yanhe vent his anger. She had been mentioning Lu Yanhe to her father for the past six months, and her words and deeds were all about wanting her father to help Lu Yanhe.
Lin Desheng was shocked at first, thinking that his daughter had been taken away by someone. However, after investigation, he found that his daughter had met the man no more than three times, and the relationship between them was as simple as soup and water. It was obvious at a glance that his daughter had a good impression of the person.
Because Lin Miaomiao had not been in good health since she was a child and had to go to the hospital every now and then, Lin Desheng had always spoiled her and gave her almost everything she wanted.
After investigating Lu Yanhe's situation and reading his past experiences, Lin Desheng actually developed a favorable impression of Lu Yanhe.
A child from the countryside, without parents and helpless, he didn't become famous after his debut, but he always persevered. When he was in his third year of high school, he was given up by the company. He started to study hard and his grades improved rapidly. It can be seen that he really worked hard to study.
Whether it's good character, quick wit, or courage, how many people can remain so calm when faced with a murderer holding them hostage?
Lin Desheng was happy to help such young people, which led to his actions today.
Lu Yanhe didn't know the whole story and didn't dare to accept other people's kindness easily. After thanking Lin Miaomiao, he left.
Lin Miaomiao looked at his back as he left, bit her lip, and wanted to say something, but stopped herself.

In the rehearsal room, Chen Jing was still practicing dancing.
Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong passed by outside and saw Chen Jing inside through the glass wall.
Wei Zhuoran immediately sneered.
"He's secretly practicing extra."
When Qu Yousong saw Chen Jing, he curled his lips in disdain.
"He's just like that. He always likes to work hard on his own, trying to outdo everyone else on set."
"Ma Zhiyuan had already lectured him before, telling him not to steal the limelight, but he didn't listen at all." Wei Zhuoran said, "Should we tell Ma Zhiyuan? If he knew Chen Jing was secretly practicing here, he would definitely be furious."
"Last time at the Henglan Music Festival, the audience response to Chen Jing's dance was better than Ma Zhiyuan's. Ma Zhiyuan got angry at Chen Jing after he got off the stage. If you tell Ma Zhiyuan now, he might even ask Chen Jing to withdraw from the recording of this afternoon's program." Qu Yousong chuckled and said.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuoran said, "If that's the case, then of course we have to tell Ma Zhiyuan."
Qu Yousong: "You have a very dark heart."
"Mutually." Wei Zhuoran replied.
Wei Zhuoran took out his cell phone, took a photo of Chen Jing practicing dancing in the rehearsal room, and sent it privately to Ma Zhiyuan: Chen Jing is practicing dancing secretly again, captain, this guy is determined to step on you to get to the top.
