You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

LeYan thought that according to his current traffic and superstar strength in the circle, it would not be difficult to send him to the Fashion Week.

But he oversimplified the matter.

This was mainly due to the fact that he had no idea about Fashion Week and took it for granted.

There are four internationally renowned fashion weeks, held twice a year. The one that will begin at the end of the year is the Spring/Summer International Fashion Week.

Since LeYan has not received any invitations from his endorsement clients to attend fashion weeks, he has two ways to attend. One is to settle for the second best and attend fashion shows that are not among the top four international ones; the other is to cooperate with the media and be brought by the media.

Many internet celebrities choose the latter option to attend Fashion Week, but even if they enter the show, they are not seated in the core area and cannot even attend the dinner. Apart from the title of attending Fashion Week, they have nothing else.

Why go to Fashion Week?
Of course, it is to sit in the most central position to get huge exposure, thereby enhancing the fashion attributes.

Therefore, neither of the above two approaches can meet LeYan’s needs.

Ni Zhen also asked Li Yiran's team.

Li Yiran is a frequent visitor to fashion week. She did not attend the Fall/Winter Fashion Week earlier this year because she was working on a new album for LeYan, but she will definitely show up at this Spring/Summer Fashion Week.

As a result, Li Yiran did get an invitation to the fashion week and was able to bring Le Yan with her, but she was going to the earliest London Fashion Week. When this fashion week started, Le Yan had not finished filming "Sweet Honey" yet and could not leave the crew.

Zhang Yan said that they had accepted the invitation half a year ago and confirmed their schedule for the fashion week. Now it is not realistic to suddenly change the latter few schedules in order to coordinate with Le Yan, which may affect their long-term cooperative relationship with the brand.

Despite this, Li Yiran still asked Zhang Yan to try to adjust one.

But Le Yan stopped it immediately when he heard the news.

"Then what should we do?"

Ni Zhen has been very depressed recently.

He noticed the team's shortcomings - the entire team had too few resources in the fashion industry.

It is not impossible for him to make an exception and get an invitation from a brand before the event, but Ni Zhen does not have that ability.

LeYan has yet to reach the top position, and their team with shortcomings is to blame!

Now it was Le Yan who began to comfort him:
"It's okay, it's okay. If I can't go this year, I can go next year. It's a lesson learned. Besides, there are more than just this kind of fashion events where I can show my face. I can look for other ones."

"But Fashion Week is the most important fashion event." Ni Zhen didn't dare to look into Le Yan's eyes when he spoke.

The exposure and gains from an international fashion week are equivalent to those from several domestic ceremonies and events.

This is basically two orders of magnitude.

It's all my fault. I didn't start paving the way for you in fashion ahead of time, and I had to wait for you to remind me before I started preparing.

Le Yan pinched Ni Zhen's shoulders twice to make him relax:

"Let's grow together slowly."

The road is taken step by step, and you have to climb to the top step by step to stay stable.

I need time to develop, and the team also needs to train slowly. You guys are already very good.

Although Le Yan made very reasonable remarks when comforting Ni Zhen, when he saw Bi Xia's gloating face, he wanted to fly to the fashion week right now and slap her in the face.

Ge Man received an invitation to the New York Fashion Week. Bi Xia shamelessly made a thigh pendant for Ge Man and went to the fashion week to gain experience.

After learning that Le Yan was struggling to find a way to go to Fashion Week but had been met with setbacks everywhere, Bi Xia began to buzz around Le Yan's ears like a mosquito every day, sometimes talking about what dress to prepare and sometimes talking about the weather in New York.

"You didn't get there on your own merit. You follow Sister Man around and suck her blood every day, and you still have the nerve to show off here?" Le Yan's face turned red with anger.

In the morning, Ni Zhen told him that he had used his connections with the superstar, but hope was still slim.

The superstar was helpless, which meant he really couldn't go.
He was immersed in loss the whole day, and Bi Xia was still standing right in front of him, looking for death?

Bi Xia made a face at Le Yan:
"I'll suck it, I'll suck it! Sister Man also asked me to suck it, so if you have the guts, you can do it too?"

The filming of "Sweet Honey" has come to an end.

At the beginning, Bi Xia gritted his teeth and relied on his strong competitive spirit to be able to compete with Le Yan on equal terms. However, as Le Yan's [observation ability] improved and his understanding of Hong Kong's local culture deepened, Bi Xia was completely unable to keep up with Le Yan's pace.

For young actors of Bi Xia and Le Yan's age, playing characters in middle or old age should be the most difficult, but Le Yan is getting better and better at it.

That detail.
That emotion.
That tension.
Gee tut.

Over the past half month, every time Bi Xia watched Le Yan's filming content again, he was shocked by the huge performance gap.

And then there was deep regret.

Why could LeYan make such great progress in three months, but she couldn't?
This deep sense of self-blame turned into "childishness", pushing Bi Xia to find anything more powerful than Le Yan to attack him.

Only in this way can she feel better.

Le Yan was too lazy to argue with Bi Xia, so he went to the set up scene and waited:
"Just wait, I'll bring garlic and sticky rice to stuff your mouth tomorrow."

"Hahahaha——" Bi Xia put his hands on his waist and watched Le Yan flee like a devil.

After Le Yan completely disappeared, she sighed in disappointment, and then walked behind director Kong Chao with a determined look.

Kong Chao felt someone coming behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Bi Xia. He smiled and handed her a pair of headphones.

Ever since he realized that there was a performance gap between him and Le Yan, whenever Le Yan had a scene, Bi Xia would quietly stand in front of the monitor and watch, learning seriously.

Apart from bickering with Le Yan every day, Bi Xia hasn't played with cats and dogs on the crew for many days. Obviously, this incident has brought a great shock to her.

But facing the gap, Bi Xia still has a good attitude.

Kong Chao once took the initiative to give Bi Xia a way out, saying that Le Yan was able to play the middle-aged Li Xiaojun so vividly because he was smart and good at imitating.

But Bi Xia did not give herself any excuse. She said that Le Yan was not only strong in playing the middle-aged Li Xiaojun, but also the young Li Xiaojun. Strong is strong. He has put in enough effort and used enough brains. He deserves this result. An actor's profession requires time to hone. Don't use any reason to cover up the actor's investment in time. It is unfair to him.

After that, Bi Xia would secretly discuss the details of Le Yan's performance with Kong Chao every day. Of course, Le Yan didn't know about these.

Bi Xia put on his headphones and whispered to himself:
“I don’t have much time left to study.”

Kong Chao picked up the intercom and shouted "Start shooting", and then muttered to himself:
"It's going to wrap up so soon? I wonder when I'll be able to work with such a great cast next time."

Bi Xia can discuss Le Yan's acting skills with the new director Kong Chao, who is also willing to learn new knowledge, but she will not admit defeat in front of Le Yan, because Le Yan is her "lifelong enemy"!
After Le Yan finished this scene, he came back to rest, and Bi Xia floated past him again.

She didn't know who she was talking to on the phone, but her voice could be heard from two miles away:

"Yes, yes, I've been invited to attend the New York Fashion Week! I'll go and hang out with you, you don't have to host! I'll treat you! Just think about what to eat in advance, I'll cover all your meals for those few days!"

Le Yan clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath.

Is it really impossible to go to Fashion Week?!

While Le Yan was being pissed off by Bi Xia and was almost dying several times a day, Deng Xuefeng, who was thousands of miles away, completed the creation of his fourth character after his comeback.

Except for Peng Yiwei's movies, all the roles Deng Xuefeng took after his comeback were supporting roles.

His abilities are unanimously recognized in the industry, and various directors are willing to work with him, but he has been away from the film industry for too long. So long that there is no place for him in the film industry anymore.

If you want to gain a foothold in the film industry, relying solely on your strength is far from enough.

It will take some time to accumulate experience if you want to get the leading role and appear in the spotlight again.

But Deng Xuefeng didn't want to wait any longer. Peng Yiwei's film had been nominated for the award for a long time, but there was no news.

This made Deng Xuefeng, who was originally quite confident about the film and its characters, nervous.
Is it really as Peng Yiwei said, that they have been in the film industry for too long and therefore don’t understand the evaluation of these awards?
He thinks it's okay, but the judges are not impressed?

But even if he falls behind, Peng Yiwei should not fall behind.

He vowed that he could use this movie to get back everything that Deng Xuefeng had lost!

Lied to me?

Thinking of this, Deng Xuefeng called Peng Yiwei angrily.

Peng Yiwei was in a mess, talking a lot. Deng Xuefeng didn't hear anything clearly, but he didn't come to listen to Peng Yiwei. He came to vent:
"Peng Yiwei, is your only skill to deceive me and my apprentice? I cooperated with you, but got nothing in return. Do you still want to continue to harm Le Yan? Dream on! Don't even think about working with Le Yan again. I don't agree! Don't tell me that the contract has been signed. I'm going to eat the contract now!!"

There was some chatter on the other end of the phone. At this time, Deng Xuefeng had already walked to the archives room, looking for the agency contract signed by Superstar and Le Yan.

Ten seconds later, his tone became more serious:
"Just give Le Yan 300 million? Where's your face? Why did you let Le Yan bargain so much to make your crappy movie? I'll tear it up right now--"

“Wait!!!” A human voice finally came from the other end of the line, “Pfft, pfft, pfft—I’m out scouting locations these days. It’s windy here and the signal is bad. Please don’t tear it up, don’t ruin Le Yan’s future!”

"Future? What future is there in making a movie with you? What Le Yan needs is money!" Deng Xuefeng scolded him.

Peng Yiwei said intermittently:
"Go back and tell me, go back and tell me."

"I've been waiting for a month! You don't dare tell me that you didn't make the list, right?" Deng Xuefeng shouted in a burst of anger.

Just like Bi Xia couldn't communicate normally with Le Yan and could only ridicule her, Deng Xuefeng couldn't control his emotions whenever he spoke to Peng Yiwei.

Peng Yiwei became quiet, apparently having found a place sheltered from the wind:

"Why are you in such a hurry? I told you I'm scouting locations these days! Le Yan keeps urging me, and you're urging me too. Why don't you two have a fight first and see which side I should focus on first."

Le Yan urged Peng Yiwei to confirm the shooting information of the next movie as soon as possible.

Deng Xuefeng urged Peng Yiwei to ask about the award delivery.

Peng Yiwei is almost sixty years old. Don’t you know how to respect the elderly and love the young?

Join forces to bully the old man?

"Take care of Le Yan first." Deng Xuefeng immediately behaved himself when he heard Le Yan.

Alas, I haven’t seen Le Yan for almost three months.

I heard that after LeYan leaves the group, he will fly across the country to participate in fashion events. When will we meet next time?

"I've been selected, I've been selected. I wanted to go back and tell you, but you're such a person... You can't even wait for a few days." Peng Yiwei hung up the phone cursing.

Deng Xuefeng had almost put down his phone, but suddenly he jumped up and called again.

Delivered it?
That night, Peng Yiwei stood under the signal tower and synchronized the award information to Deng Xuefeng.

Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Director. Except for Best Song, he was nominated for all other awards.

It was expected that "Hiroshima Mon Amour" was not shortlisted. In an environment where almost all award-winning songs are English songs and most of the winning songs in recent years are from cartoons, this Chinese song does not fit the main theme.

After receiving the award information, Deng Xuefeng contacted Ni Zhen immediately.

We must make a huge splash by participating in the Lens Film Festival this time, so that it can help LeYan in the future.

He must open his mind and make use of today's marketing methods, and not be as stubborn as before.

When Ni Zhen heard Deng Xuefeng's request, his first reaction was not to arrange publicity work, but to ask excitedly:
"Can Le Yan go to the Lens Film Festival with me?"

The momentum of international film festivals is no less than that of international fashion weeks, and film festivals also have a strong fashion element.

If LeYan can go to Lens, wouldn't that make up for his regret of not being able to go to Fashion Week?

Deng Xuefeng didn't even think about it:
"His song wasn't nominated for the Best Song Award, so he couldn't go."

Ni Zhen explained:

"He's the singer of the theme song. Can he participate as a member of the crew?"

"He didn't participate in the filming either, no..." Deng Xuefeng suddenly shut up.

Why can’t Le Yan go?

The director is Peng Yiwei and the male lead is Deng Xuefeng. Does it matter whether Le Yan participates in this movie or not?
He is still too stubborn!

Before replying to Ni Zhen, Deng Xuefeng symbolically asked for Peng Yiwei's opinion.

Peng Yiwei said speechlessly:
"Le Yan is our own child. If he wants to go, isn't it just a matter of asking? Do you need to ask me? Who are you looking down on? Let him take his girlfriend with him, and we will have fun in Lens!"

After hanging up the phone, Deng Xuefeng closed his eyes tiredly.

If he wants to help Le Yan, he still has a lot to adapt to and learn!
After getting the confirmed news, Ni Zhen informed Le Yan and flew directly to Lens after leaving the group.

Le Yan thinks this world is too crazy!

The honest Ni Zhen started to have crooked ideas
The stubborn Deng Xuefeng actually learned to abuse his power for personal gain?

The team is really growing!
He, the real master, can't stand still.
During lunch, Le Yan announced in front of the whole group:
"After filming 'Sweet Honey', I'm going to walk the red carpet at the Lens Film Festival."

Bixia's orange juice spurted out of his mouth:

"You don't have any works, so why can you go to Lens?"

Le Yan scratched his ears and said disdainfully:
"Deng was nominated for Best Actor, and Peng Yiwei was nominated for Best Director. They insisted on taking me with them to experience the atmosphere of an international film festival. I had no choice but to go."

He smiled and asked Bixia:
"Oh, by the way, have you ever been to an international film festival?"

Bi Xia slammed the table hard, pointed at Le Yan and yelled:

"You have no shame! You're stepping on Old Dumbledore to climb up!"

International Film Festival?
Bixia has never even participated in a domestic film festival.
When she was in high school, she didn’t have time to attend every event with Ge Man, and she also missed the Lion City Film Festival earlier this year because Deng didn’t give her leave.

Le Yan stuck out his tongue at her:
"I'll step on them, I'll step on them! I'm not just stepping on Lao Deng, I'm also stepping on Peng Yiwei! They want to be stepped on by me, is it your business?"

Bi Xia felt the reverse flow of qi and blood, and said with a heavy breath:
"If you're bored, just learn from me!"

"Imitate you?" Le Yan snorted. "I've already gone out to participate in two important international film festivals. If I were to imitate you, I should be staying at home now!"

"Okay! Stop teasing and say less." Kong Chao quickly came out to smooth things over.

Although Bi Xia has a sharp tongue, she is actually convinced by Le Yan behind the scenes. She would be unhappy if she heard someone gossiping about Le Yan.

Seeing them arguing so fiercely, Kong Chao couldn't bear it any longer.

But Bi Xia has already gotten so excited, how could he give up?
She slammed the table and shouted:
"What's so great about a film festival? Sister Man can take me to Fashion Week, but she won't take you!"

"You keep saying the same thing over and over again. It's so boring." Le Yan stood up unwilling to be outdone and evolved the quarrel process, "Lao Deng and Peng Yiwei can not only take me, but also take Li Yiran with them! You want to compete with me? Single dog!"

Bi Xia spat out a mouthful of the boy's blood and fainted. (End of this chapter)
