Become famous another day.

After Lu Yanhe finished filming the third season of "Seventeen Floors", everyone had a meal together on the day of the final shooting.

Lu Yanhe treated everyone to a meal and paid the bill.

In these aspects, Lu Yanhe has always been generous.

After finishing the third season of "The Seventeenth Floor", Lu Yanhe finished one of his series. After that, the only series he was filming was "Friends".

It also relieved me of my worries.

Otherwise, Lu Yanhe would always think that the story was not finished yet.

After having the wrap dinner with the crew of "Seventeenth Floor", he had a short vacation to rest.

Next, apart from the filming of "Friends" at the end of the year, the only films left this year are "The Mist 2" and "The Wind-Driven One".

The script of "The Mist 2" finally reached his hands.

Lu Yanhe waited until the filming of "The Seventeenth Floor" was completed before he started reading the script of "The Mist 2".

After several revisions, this is the version Mu confirmed.

"In the sequel, after the previous turmoil, everyone in the town moved away. The ghost I played stayed in the town and slowly became a legend."

In the evening, after Chen Siqi came back, Lu Yanhe immediately shared the contents of the script with her.

Chen Siqi was a little surprised when she heard this and asked, "Is the second part a one-man show for you?"

Lu Yanhe smiled, shook his head, and said, "This is just the background of the second part. The second part takes place ten years later. The town has been completely deserted, and I have become a lonely ghost. Then, a ghost-catching team heard the rumors and decided to come to the town to find out what happened."

Chen Siqi was a little surprised and asked, "And then they came to arrest you?"

"There was a script with this plot in the beginning, but it was rejected by Mu Ken." Lu Yanhe smiled, "They originally wanted to come to the town to catch ghosts, but they didn't expect that they would be entangled by another evil ghost on the way here. They fled all the way into the town and ran into me, so they asked me for help."

Chen Siqi: "What? A ghost hunting team is asking you for help?"

Lu Yanhe nodded: "Yes, then, I saved them and killed the evil spirit."

Chen Siqi's eyes rolled around and she reacted immediately.

"To be precise, this should be the beginning of your story, right?" she asked. "The first part talks about the destruction of Asians by white people and the revenge of Asians. Even if the second part is not about this theme, it will not be about Asians and whites joining forces."

"You're right." Lu Yanhe nodded and smiled. "D19 believes that the selling point of this series is the revenge of Asians against white people, so they insist on continuing this theme in the sequel."

Chen Siqi: "They really want to make money, and they don't hesitate to completely discredit themselves in the movie."

"After all, there is no political correctness among white people. They are naturally correct and do not need to use political correctness to maintain their status," Lu Yanhe said. "So, they don't care about becoming villains or bad characters at all."

Chen Siqi nodded.

In recent Hollywood movies, it is indeed common that the villains are actually white people, not other people of color.

In order to avoid falling into racial discrimination, many Hollywood movies have made such treatments.

Lu Yanhe said: "After the ghost-catching team was rescued, some of them coveted my abilities and wanted to control me and use me for their own purposes. So, they caught me with their magic weapons when I was not prepared."

Chen Siqi: "Is it true that in this section, there are still a few people who want to stop their companions and still have a sense of justice?"

"Of course, they were unwilling to let all white people become villains." Lu Yanhe nodded. "Anyway, I took advantage of their internal disagreements and struggles to find an opportunity and escape. You know the rest of the story. I started a new round of revenge."

Chen Siqi: "Then, just like in the first film, you killed the real bad guys, and spared those who still had a conscience."

"That's right." Lu Yanhe nodded, "The routine is still the same as the first part."

"It sounds like this story...is not as exciting as the first one." Chen Siqi said, "In the first part, there was a family massacre as the support for the Asian ghosts. Although you succeeded in revenge in this part, you are such a powerful ghost, but you were tricked by a ghost-catching team. I think this is one of the complaints."

"That's what I said too. I think the logic is a little bit hard to make sense of. They asked me for help, so I really saved them." Lu Yanhe said, "I'm going to discuss with Mu Ken and change this paragraph. My motive should definitely not be to save these humans, but because another ghost invaded my territory, so I took action. If humans asked me for help, I would just help them. What kind of ghost am I? I might as well become a Buddha."

Chen Siqi smiled.

"They set it up this way, probably to make the plot of human ingratitude more serious and the emotions more intense."

"That can't be done without considering normal logic," Lu Yanhe said, "unless you tell me that someone here has had some connection with me, then I will decide to help him out of some remaining affection. Judging from the setting in the first part, I am not a very kind ghost. I believe in revenge, but I don't kill innocent people."

Chen Siqi: "Do you think this sequel can be successful?"

"It's still the same theme, and it has the foundation of the first film. Director Muken will continue to direct. Even if there are some complaints, it's not a matter of principle." Lu Yanhe said, "I just don't know how much horror they will retain in this one. The first film actually had relatively few horror elements, which made true horror fans dissatisfied."

Chen Siqi: "From this story, there are still some thriller elements. If you want to make the early part where the ghost-hunting team is persecuted by another ghost scary, you can definitely make it scary. But the middle part, before you take revenge, is more dramatic. It is still difficult to set up physiological thriller elements."

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded. "I think so too, unless they are willing to exaggerate the evil of human nature in this link and use the evil of human nature to achieve a thrilling effect."

Chen Siqi: "This is very dependent on the actor's acting skills. If you can't act out that feeling, it's all in vain."

Lu Yanhe: "I will have a video chat with Mu Ken tomorrow to see what he thinks so that I can design my part."

Chen Siqi: "However, I guess if the second part of The Mist still sells well at the box office, D19 will probably pester you to continue filming the third part."

"I won't be filming in the short term. I won't be filming anything. Two is enough." Lu Yanhe said, "I don't want to be positioned as a horror film actor in the end."

"Then you will have to withstand their firepower." Chen Siqi smiled.
-
As expected, Muken was still dissatisfied with some aspects of the script setting of "The Mist 2".

He just felt that the overall framework of the script was OK.

Regarding the opinions raised by Lu Yanhe, Mu Ken said that he would continue to discuss with the screenwriter and he agreed with Lu Yanhe's suggestions for revision.

Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

If Muken agrees, that's good.

After the video call ended, Chen Ziyan's call came in almost seamlessly.

"Are you ready to go out?"

Lu Yanhe suddenly remembered that he still had to go to Linghe today.

"Right away." Lu Yanhe looked at the time. He had agreed with Zou Dong to meet downstairs at 10 a.m., and now it was already 10:10.

When he looked again, he saw that Zou Dong had sent him a message ten minutes ago, saying that he was already downstairs.

Lu Yanhe quickly replied "I'll be right down", changed his clothes, and hurried out.

I talked to Muken for so long that I completely forgot about time.
-
He came to Linghe today because he needed to hold a meeting with Lu Yanhe to communicate on several of the company's projects.

The second season of "Wulin Waijia" has been aired and the results in all aspects have met expectations.

Xu Tianming said: "Single-Wing Avenue wanted to buy the copyright of "Wulin Waijia" from us and make a stage play of "Wulin Waijia". What's special is that they don't intend to use the content of the drama version, but want to create an original story based on these characters."

Lu Yanhe asked: "What do you think?"

"We are now doing IP derivative licensing with one purpose, which is to ensure that the value of the IP will not be negatively affected. In fact, One Way Street is the largest company in China that does stage plays, and has produced many well-received theatrical works over the years. However, I am a little unsure about their desire to find screenwriters to create new stories themselves."

What Xu Tianming meant was that he recognized Dan Xing Dao's strength, but because the stage play version they wanted had an original plot and was full of unknowns, it might be criticized and even affect the "Wulin Wai Zhuan" IP.

Lu Yanhe said: "Is it possible that the scripts they create need to be reviewed and approved by us before we can finally decide to authorize them?"

"You can say that, but if we do that, it will be a bit controversial. If we don't approve their script, it means that all their initial investment in production will go down the drain." Xu Tianming said, "After all, if they hire a screenwriter to write the script first, they also need to pay royalties. For a stage play, this initial investment is not small. It is rare to let the other party write the script first and then decide whether to authorize it."

Lu Yanhe nodded and understood Xu Tianming's dilemma.

"It's really not appropriate to do so," he said. "Then let's find out what kind of stage play they want to make. As long as the general direction and theme do not conflict with the main purpose of the story of "Wulin Waijia", it's okay to make a new attempt and take some risks. One Way Street is not a small company. They also need to maintain their reputation and word of mouth, and they won't do anything rash."

When Xu Tianming heard Lu Yanhe say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"In addition to 'Wulin Wai Zhuan', there is another very important thing. This year we are going to open 'Those Years'. Will Wu Chi be the director of this movie?" Chen Yin said, "Before, we said that we would make a decision after seeing how 'Oh My Sea' is filmed."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Has the post-production of "Oh My Sea" been completed? Has the final film been edited?"

"The first cut has been completed," said Chen Yin. "We also held an internal screening, and the feedback was mostly positive. It's just that the comic feel is so strong that I'm a little unsure whether it's suitable for 'Those Years'."

Lu Yanhe said, "Can I see the first cut of 'Oh My Sea' later? Since it's available, I'll take a look first."

Chen Yin nodded.

"We're ready."

“The other one is 2 Broke Girls.” Chen Yin immediately mentioned Linghe’s last major project. “We have modified the previous script according to your last suggestion, and the actors have already started rehearsing, but there is a small problem now.”

"What's happening?"

"Deng Xiaoyuan is pregnant." Chen Yin said helplessly, "The due date is at the end of this year, November. Under this circumstance, unless someone else is cast, there's no way 2 Broke Girls will start filming this year."

Lu Yanhe showed a look of surprise.

"what?"

This is truly...unexpected.

Chen Yin asked: "But if we don't start shooting this year, we will miss the delivery date agreed with Northern Lights Video and HP."

Lu Yanhe asked: "What did Xiaoyuan say?"

"She didn't expect that she would suddenly become pregnant." Chen Yin shook her head, "Because she just found out, she is very panicked now, worried that she will be replaced by us."

Deng Xiaoyuan may have waited for a long time to finally get such a role, so you can imagine how she feels now.

Lu Yanhe asked, "If 2 Broke Girls is delayed, how much will we lose?"

"We have already started rehearsals and performances, and every actor is receiving basic wages. If the delay continues for another year, these actors will have to spend another year." Chen Yin said, "In addition to the liquidated damages if the performance cannot be delivered normally, we will lose more than 10 million yuan. Of course, this is basically due to the liquidated damages. If we communicate with Northern Lights and HP, we should not have to pay so much according to the contract."

Both Northern Lights and HP paid a deposit.

Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and asked, "What is the company's opinion?"

Chen Yin: "From the production perspective, changing an actor is the most convenient way to do this. However, we have made many changes to the script based on Deng Xiaoyuan. Now we can say that the script and the role are tailor-made for Deng Xiaoyuan. If we change actors, a lot of work will have to be done again."

Lu Yanhe asked: "What solution do you suggest?"

Chen Yin: "There is a way, start filming earlier. Deng Xiaoyuan is only three months pregnant now, and her pregnancy is not obvious yet. If we can finish filming the first season within two months, we can basically avoid the stage when Deng Xiaoyuan's belly cannot be concealed."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Are the conditions ripe for early start?"

“Whether it is mature or not… Actually, if we really want to say it, we can film it if we want to,” Chen Yin said, “but half of the script has not been tested by rehearsal or performance.”

Since the end of last year, "2 Broke Girls" has gathered some audiences for each episode to watch their rehearsals live and provide feedback.

It can be said that each episode has been revised and polished several times, so almost every joke has been carefully adjusted, and the actors have also done a lot of homework in shaping their characters.

Lu Yanhe fell into deep thought.

Everyone fell silent, waiting for Lu Yanhe's decision.

You know, the drama "2 Broke Girls" is actually in a very awkward position. It is not an S-level drama. Except for Lu Yanhe, the script consultant, the director and actors of this drama are all people with no representative works and no fame.

But to say that it is an ordinary project that is not paid attention to by the market is false, because this drama was even purchased in advance by Northern Lights Video and HP——

The deposit was paid before the project even started.

No one thinks of it as a small project. Everyone has great expectations for it, and maybe it will become a sitcom like the second "Friends".

Now Deng Xiaoyuan has encountered such a problem.

Lu Yanhe thought for five minutes and asked, "Then how about dividing the first season into two parts?"

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.

Lu Yanhe said: "I don't want to compromise on the quality of this drama. Since the first half was carefully crafted episode by episode, the audience will be able to feel the difference if the second half is not done in this way. But I also want to try my best to keep Deng Xiaoyuan in this drama. She has been preparing for this drama for more than half a year and has put in a lot of effort. Not to mention, if she is replaced, as you said, there will be a lot of adjustments to be made."

Everyone looked at each other.

“In this way, the first season can still be aired next year, but it won’t be finished all at once. There will be a quarter break in between. It will take about three months for Xiaoyuan to recover after giving birth, which means we can resume production on 2 Broke Girls as early as March next year,” Lu Yanhe said. “I don’t know if what I said is feasible, and we may need to come up with a plan, but if we can get the best of both worlds in this way, I hope we can adopt this approach.”

Chen Yin nodded, "I understand. I will ask them to come up with a shooting plan and see if it can be realized."

"Was 2 Broke Girls originally planned to be broadcast this year?" Lu Yanhe asked. Chen Yin nodded, "Yes, it was originally planned to be broadcast in the third quarter of the second half of this year."

“That’s about right. Maybe the second half of the first season of 2 Broke Girls can adopt the shooting mode of Friends, filming and broadcasting at the same time, which is equivalent to taking a winter break in the middle.”

Lu Yanhe paused, then continued, "The biggest advantage of sitcoms is that you don't have to worry about the audience forgetting the plot after not watching it for too long. Sitcoms don't need a main plot with a beginning, a middle, and an end. As long as everyone accepts its theme and the protagonist, no matter which episode you broadcast, everyone can sit down and watch it at any time, even if they haven't watched the previous episode."

"Yes." Chen Yin nodded, "We will try our best to do this."

Lu Yanhe has always felt that sitcoms are the most suitable broadcast type for current TV stations.

Because modern people may not have the time to sit in front of the TV and watch a drama at a certain time like in the past.

In this regard, streaming media has many advantages. When people like a drama, they can just take out their mobile phones and watch it when they have free time.

Sometimes you turn on the TV and want to watch a drama, but to be honest, you haven’t watched the first part and don’t know what it is about. If you start from the middle, you can’t understand it at all.

You know, the reruns of "Friends" still have high ratings in Beijing and Taiwan.

Many people really watch it over and over again. As long as they are not specifically looking for something new to watch, but just want to kill time at home, this is the easiest way for them to continue watching.

Even if you know all the characters' lines by heart and can recite them along, you will still be willing to continue watching. The main theme of this movie is not "curiosity about the unknown and suspense."
-
After the meeting, Lu Yanhe went to the company’s screening room and watched the first cut of “Oh, My Sea” with Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yanhe enjoyed the whole process.

It is indeed a very comic-like movie, and there is no sensationalism from beginning to end. It is all about the complaints, impulses and "neurosis" of a group of hot-blooded adolescent kids.

Lu Yanhe said to Chen Ziyan: "The reviews and box office of this movie may not be very good."

Faced with a large market, such stylized film works are destined to be niche.

Of course, fortunately, the investment in this movie was not large from the beginning. Knowing that it was a new director and new actors, it was likely that it would not make much money at the box office. We were thankful that it could make a profit in the end.

Chen Ziyan said: "You should like this movie, right?"

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded, "I like it very much."

"I know that as long as a film has its own style, you will generally like it."

"You have to admit that Wu Chi has his own style, which makes him stand out from other directors' films, especially those popular in the market," Lu Yanhe said. "Movies should be fresh, especially youth-themed movies that everyone thinks have been made to death."

"So how much publicity budget do you plan to allocate to this movie?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm thinking about something."

"Ah?" Chen Ziyan was stunned.

Lu Yanhe said: "I want the director to release both films at the same time after he finishes filming Those Years."

"What?" Chen Ziyan was stunned.

Lu Yanhe: "The entire publicity budget was put into Those Years, and we did enough. Then, we put the trailer of Oh, My Sea in Those Years, and added two tidbits at the end of Those Years. The first tidbit was when Ke Teng and his friends left Shen Jiayi's wedding together, passed by a movie theater, saw the poster of Oh, My Sea, and decided to go to the theater to watch the movie together to relive their second-year youth. The second tidbit was when they finished watching the movie and came out of the theater, and the others asked Ke Teng what it would be like if their story was made into a movie one day. Ke Teng pointed to Wu Chi's name on the poster and said, "Then I'll write a novel and send it to him to see if he's willing to make it into a movie to echo Those Years."

Chen Ziyan looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief.

"Isn't it a bit unreasonable to do this?"

"If 'Those Years' can really gross over 300 million yuan at the box office, and is not badly made, and can live up to the kind of touching feeling that the script brings us, 'Oh, My Sea, Ugh' will likely drive a large box office with this kind of publicity and marketing method," said Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yanhe: "Perhaps in the end, the return rate of "Oh, My Sea" will be higher than that of "Those Years"."

"But if you do this, I'm sure many people will scold us for our ugly eating habits," said Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment, "Really?"

He thought for a moment, "If that's the case, then why not use a portion of the proceeds from 'Oh, My Sea' to support art films? That should help improve public opinion."

Chen Ziyan: "Maybe, but——"

The more she thought about the promotional method that Lu Yanhe mentioned, the more she felt it made sense.

"If nothing else, you've come up with a groundbreaking promotional method." Chen Ziyan said, "But only you dare to do this. How can others be sure that the movie they make will be a box office hit?"

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "I think the content of those two tidbits fits the ending of Those Years and the personalities of those people. If Oh, My Sea had been released normally, it would have grossed over 10 million at the most. However, I like this movie. I think it's a good movie and it deserves to be seen by more audiences."

Chen Ziyan: "Then give it a try. What are you afraid of? If you really get scolded, the worst that can happen is that I can use all the money earned from "Oh My Sea" to support new directors."

After that, there was another meeting.

Lu Yanhe told Chen Yin and the others about the method of joint release and joint promotion that he had just mentioned to Chen Ziyan.

Chen Yin and the others looked at each other, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Because no film company has ever done this before, and no film has ever dared to do this before, and they don't know what the result will be.

Chen Yin was the first to react.

"The production cost of 'Oh My Sea' is only two million. Even if it is released with normal promotion, it will probably only get about two to three million at the box office. It is basically impossible to recover the cost through the box office of the theaters." He did the math, "If we release it together with Mr. Lu, maybe the popularity of 'Those Years' can really boost the box office performance of 'Oh My Sea'. We can afford to try. Even if it doesn't boost the box office at all, the loss will not be big."

After Chen Yin said this, everyone finally reacted.

Yes, the biggest advantage of "Oh, My Sea" is its low production cost, so they can afford the loss.

The prospect of the joint release is that the box office of "Oh, My Sea" may be boosted by "Those Years".

After figuring this out, everyone suddenly became a little excited.

If the box office and reputation of "Those Years" were to explode like "Love Letter", triggering discussions like social issues, then the box office of "Oh, My Sea" would likely be brought to hundreds of millions.

So a production cost of two million in exchange for a box office return of over 100 million?

After everyone thought about this, they didn't even dare to say it out loud.

Even in Linghe, even though they had witnessed countless miracles in the past, they still felt that this was a bit too wishful thinking.
-
Lu Yanhe stayed in Linghe until five in the afternoon before leaving with Chen Ziyan.

In the evening, he was going to have dinner with Chen Ziyan.

It had been a while since the two of them sat down and had a good chat.

Chen Ziyan said with satisfaction: "Linghe is really getting more and more mature and getting on the right track. Chen Yin is really a person suitable for internal management. With him around, I can save a lot of worries."

Lu Yanhe also nodded and said, "Yes."

Chen Ziyan drove and took Lu Yanhe to a French restaurant.

The two of them were having dinner together. They rarely came to this kind of Western restaurant because neither of them liked Western food.

Chen Ziyan said: "This is one of the rare times I eat at a restaurant that I think is good."

Lu Yanhe nodded, believing in Chen Ziyan's recommendation.

After stopping the car, Lu Yanhe got off first.

He was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, so he would not be recognized unless he was too close to people.

As a result, when Chen Ziyan was reversing, a pink car suddenly drove over.

The fans have reached the point where they think the owner of this car is a housewife with "princess syndrome".

Not only is the car body pink, but it's even inlaid with diamonds in many places, sparkling under the light.

Lu Yanhe’s first reaction when he saw the car was, wouldn’t someone steal the diamonds on it when it’s parked?

Or are the diamonds inlaid on such a flashy car fake?
While Lu Yanhe was complaining in his heart, he turned around silently and avoided facing the car owner's gaze.

As a result, the car happened to stop next to them.

When Chen Ziyan got out of the car, she also looked at the car and exchanged glances with Lu Yanhe tacitly.

Without even saying a word, they knew what each other was thinking.

Who knew that the next second, the person who got off the car would dumbfound them.

It turned out to be Zhang Yuezhen.

Of course Lu Yanhe knew what Zhang Yuezhen looked like.

Zhang Yuezhen was wearing an evening gown and walked slowly past them without looking around.

Lu Yanhe subconsciously avoided the sight and turned sideways. Only Chen Ziyan was still wearing sunglasses. In this evening, standing next to Lu Yanhe who was fully armed with a hat and mask, she also looked a little strange.

"Oh my god, how did I run into her?" Chen Ziyan cursed softly, "Why don't we go somewhere else?"

"Isn't this place hard to book? If she comes, we can't come? We don't have any guilty consciences." Lu Yanhe said, "We'll eat our food."

Chen Ziyan: "I'm not feeling guilty, I'm just afraid of affecting your mood for dinner."

"Sister Zi Yan, to be honest, my mood for dinner is not really affected by her." Lu Yanhe said, "I used to be affected because I knew that Chen Pinhe was higher in status and more powerful than me. No matter how popular I was, I was still suppressed by him. Now, thanks to Xitul, I don't have such thoughts anymore."

Chen Ziyan smiled.

"Now it should be their turn to see that I'm in a panic," said Lu Yanhe.

Chen Ziyan nodded, "You are right."

"So, let's go." Lu Yanhe took off his mask and hat, scratched his hair to make sure it wasn't curled, and generously revealed his appearance, "We're here for dinner."

Chen Ziyan smiled and took off her sunglasses.

"walk."
-
Zhang Yuezhen picked up the wine glass and gently clinked it with Shen Tailin.

The smile on her face had a kind of intoxicating sweetness, like a sunset glow.

"Master, Pinhe has a charity event scheduled for him today, so he asked me to apologize to you. He will come to visit you in person later."

Shen Tailin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Teacher Chen is very busy. We are in this line of work and we know very well. Why are you being so polite?"

"That's because we hit it off right away. I said that no matter what, we must explain it to the director." Zhang Yuezhen said, "You must understand that there are political tasks that cannot be postponed temporarily, but just because you understand, we can't say nothing."

"Oh, you are too distant." Shen Tailin laughed.

"Then I won't be so distant." Zhang Yuezhen picked out the shrimp meat for Shen Tailin and put it on Shen Tailin's plate. "Director, I've wanted to say this for a long time. Beijing TV is lucky to have you at the helm. Therefore, under the impact of video platforms, Beijing TV can continue to move forward. It is because I trust you that I persuaded Pinhe to accept the spin-off series of "The Seventeenth Floor"."

Shen Tailin: "Mr. Chen hasn't acted in a TV series for a long time. We are very happy that he is willing to entrust his comeback work to us."

"He hasn't been willing to work these years, mainly because he worked too hard when he was young, so he has been taking care of his health." Zhang Yuezhen said, "But you know the current situation. I've told him that if he continues to take care of himself like this, he might be bullied someday."

Shen Tailin laughed twice.

"I don't quite understand this. Is there anyone who dares to act rashly in front of Teacher Chen?"

Zhang Yuezhen sighed softly, "There are always some young people who are so proud and arrogant that they have no limit. He and I have never wanted to argue with each other, but the more we don't care, the more he will push his way. Pinhe wants to let it go, but I really can't stand it. No matter what, Pinhe built his kingdom by himself. He just rested for a while in recent years, which doesn't mean that he handed over the kingdom to others. But some people think that Pinhe has abdicated and are stepping on him as if he has passed the throne."

Shen Tailin laughed and didn't respond.

"Alas, actually there were signs of this a long time ago. To be honest, if Beijing TV hadn't recognized the talent and given Friends a chance, it wouldn't have had the chance to become popular." Zhang Yuezhen said, "The hardest thing is to be the first person to give you a chance. The more time passes, the more we understand this. Don't you agree, Director?"

"But there is nothing we can do. The world is fickle. Sometimes, when someone has already gained power, many people will stand on his side and protect him for the sake of their own interests," Shen Tailin said. "What can we do? We can only wait and watch, and wait for him to fall."

"How long do we have to wait?" Zhang Yuezhen sighed, "But it's true, what else can we do except complain. I have figured it out. I told Pinhe that no matter what else, at least he has to build his own circle and can't be so idle anymore."

Shen Tailin smiled.

"In terms of other things, Pinhe may not have it, but as an actor, Pinhe has never been outdone." Zhang Yuezhen said, "In addition to this spin-off series, Pinhe will also star in a big drama produced by Maxine. I hope to use it to impact the Golden Globe and Emmy Awards for Best Actor."

Shen Tailin looked at Zhang Yuezhen seriously at this time.

“It’s not an easy task.”

"Yes." Zhang Yuezhen nodded. "But, as a person, you should do your best and leave the rest to fate. In terms of personnel, he is not the only one who knows some people overseas."
