Chapter 648
Jiang Yang Wants to Be a Director? Lu Han Asks Jiang Yang for a Role
Jiang Yang felt the softness in his palm.
Hearing Tian Xiwei whisper what he said to him, he replied, "I believe you, I believe you. I was already cupped when I came here, and my lips were a little swollen."
"The name 'Huoguanwei' is awful, it's all your fault."
"Why blame me? I remember it was Bailu who gave you that nickname."
"Bai Lu is your artist, so it's all your fault. Bai Lu is also strange. From now on, I'll call her Sister Dog."
Tian Xiwei suddenly realized something: "Did you turn your microphone off?"
"It's off," Jiang Yang said quietly.
Upon hearing this...
Tian Xi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Huang Lei's voice came through the phone's speaker: "Xiwei, Jiang Yang, what are you two whispering about? Is there anything we can't hear?"
The words fell.
The whole room burst into laughter.
"I'm not going to chat anymore, Teacher Huang. I still need to continue filming the commercial. It's not good to take too long."
He paused for a moment, having just been lectured by Huang Lei in front of his juniors from his alma mater.
Jiang Yang was holding his breath and quickly said, "The green beans can't be overcooked, or you'll get poisoned and need to have your stomach pumped."
Done.
Before Huang Lei could respond, Jiang Yang quickly hung up the video call.
They were afraid that Huang Lei would say something that could cause trouble, and they were also afraid that Huang Lei would hurl a torrent of abuse at them.
Followed by.
My phone vibrated; it was a message from Huang Lei: [“You've been hanging out with Zhao Lushi for too long, and you've become just as rude as her. That last sentence you said to me—what kind of attitude was that? You better come to my variety show right now; I won't give you old green beans, I'll feed you raw ones.”]
Immediately after, Huang Lei sent another voice message: ["Let me tell you, these green beans are like life, Xiao Jiang. I consider you a friend, so I'm telling you the truth. I also think you're a child with sufficient cognitive abilities, otherwise, if I told you the truth, you would feel it was noise or an offense..."]
Jiang Yang was too lazy to listen anymore.
How much should you drink?
One drunk Huang Lei could preach as much as three sober Wang Hans.
Some students in the class had watched the first episode of Huang Lei's "Back to Field" and knew that Jiang Yang said green beans shouldn't be overcooked.
He was secretly laughing.
Jiang Yang came to the rescue, saying, "Stop laughing, stop laughing. Teacher Huang has had too much to drink; he's a drunkard."
As soon as he finished speaking, another burst of laughter erupted from the audience.
The serious atmosphere from before was completely replaced by this relaxed smile.
With the atmosphere set in, Jiang Yang could clearly feel that he had completely closed the distance between himself and the students in this class.
This will make it easier to shoot the commercials later.
There's no need to worry about students being reserved or uncooperative anymore.
Jiang Yang turned around, about to walk towards director Zhang Lei and tell him to continue filming.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Lu Han's video call request.
"It's Lu Han!!" A student wearing glasses leaned forward, staring at Jiang Yang's phone screen, standing near the podium: "Lu Han sent Jiang Yang a video, holy crap!"
His eyes were wide open.
He cautiously asked, "Can you answer it?"
Jiang Yang frowned, turned his phone upside down on the podium, and said to the student, "Don't you wear glasses? How come your eyesight is so good?"
The classroom erupted in laughter.
Like Huang Lei, Lu Han had no idea that he was filming a commercial in a classroom at Tongliang Middle School.
They had no idea there were so many students and staff members present.
They have a good relationship in private and chat casually, so it's inevitable that there will be many things they can't broadcast or that are inconvenient for outsiders to hear.
Lu Han is always very busy, and he rarely takes the initiative to chat with him.
She's completely different from Bai Lu, who loves to chatter and never stops talking on the phone.
Lu Han contacted him for one of two things: either to discuss the creation of his new song.
Or they'll talk about Guan Xiaotong.
Talking about songs was fine; it was all public and open content, and the people present didn't think much of it.
But if you talk about Guan Xiaotong, their relationship is practically exposed.
Even though everyone present was a student, with simple minds.
This news is so explosive that once it gets out, it will not only affect his and Lu Han's reputation, but also disturb their private lives.
"Jiang Yang, please answer!" A bold student spoke up first, his tone full of pleading: "If you answer, we'll definitely cooperate well during filming, and we promise not to cause trouble or make any mistakes!"
Followed by.
A chorus of pleas then filled the classroom.
The students all looked at Jiang Yang with expectant eyes.
Excited.
excited.
They usually have no chance to get close to a big star like Lu Han; they can only see him on TV and their phones.
Now that I have the chance to see celebrities chatting privately, I certainly don't want to miss it.
I'm also curious whether Lu Han and Huang Lei, whom I just video chatted with, are different in tone and appearance when they chat in private.
I'd rather see Lu Han than Huang Lei.
the reason is simple.
It's because Lu Han is younger and more handsome than Huang Lei, which better suits the aesthetic preferences of high school students.
He is an idol to many students.
Having listened to Lu Han's songs regularly, I've long been curious about Lu Han's private life.
Given such a rare opportunity, they naturally wouldn't let it slip by easily.
"Alright, alright, then you must keep quiet."
Jiang Yang relented: "I also have to save face with Lu Han. If he finds out that I can't even control what you guys do when I shoot an advertisement at my alma mater, I wonder how he'll laugh at me."
Done.
The whole audience burst into laughter.
"Stop laughing, stop laughing. We're filming a commercial, not like we're recording a variety show," Jiang Yang reminded him.
The more they say that...
The students below the podium laughed even harder.
"What should I do, Xiwei? I've realized I'm really not suited to managing people," Jiang Yang complained to Tian Xiwei. "I can't yell at them. If this were my sister, I'd slap her right across the face..."
"I'll yell at them."
"No, Xiwei, it's not good for your image. They're all students from our own school."
“You’re too gentle. No wonder Chaoyue dared to embezzle your money. I’ll do this kind of work from now on. Didn’t Chaoyue establish a greedy persona in the first episode of the variety show ‘Mars’? Perfect, I’ll establish a tough persona. Anyway, if I get criticized online, I’ll criticize you.”
As soon as Jiang Yang finished speaking, Tian Xiwei suddenly raised her voice and snapped, "Quiet!!!"
With a standard and imposing Chongqing accent, his voice was incredibly penetrating: "What's all the noise about? I'm from Sichuan, one, two..."
Without paying attention to the students' reactions, Jiang Yang subconsciously straightened his body.
Tian Xiwei's brows furrowed tightly, her eyes sharp as she scanned the entire class.
Stand upright.
The once noisy classroom became completely silent.
The students were stunned by Tian Xiwei's sudden fierce appearance.
I straightened up instinctively.
Place both hands on the table.
He dared not meet Tian Xiwei's sharp gaze.
The classroom quieted down.
Someone whispered, "Tian Xiwei is so fierce."
I connected to Lu Han's video call.
This time, the excitement in the classroom reached its peak, but no one made a sound.
Especially the girls.
They covered their mouths, not daring to make a loud noise.
His eyes were full of anticipation and nervousness.
Lu Han appeared on the screen, attending a commercial launch event for Puma, which he endorses, and was taking a break.
The background is the backstage lounge of the press conference, with Puma posters hanging on the wall.
A comfortable sofa and coffee table were placed nearby. On the coffee table were an unopened bottle of mineral water and a document.
In the distance, staff members were still busy at work, and the occasional faint sounds of conversation could be heard.
Lu Han was dressed in a black Puma outfit.
Her hair was neatly styled.
He had a gentle smile on his face.
Upon seeing Jiang Yang, he greeted him with a smile, "Brother Jiang, what are you doing?"
"Brother Lu, just call me Xiao Jiang. Really, Huang Lei, Zhong Shujia, and Wang Han all call me Xiao Jiang."
"Forget about Xiao Jiang, let's get down to business. News has come out from the Beijing Film Academy. You gave them a script, you're the producer, and they're funding it. Have the actors been cast yet?"
"Not yet," Jiang Yang replied.
Lu Han smiled and said, "Could you include me in the cast?"
I know what Lu Han is planning.
He wanted to find an opportunity to act with Guan Xiaotong again. He gave Lu Han a role, and Guan Xiaotong definitely couldn't be left out either.
Were the two of them there to film a movie? He didn't want to point it out.
Upon hearing this, the students in the classroom let out a suppressed gasp.
There was no concealment whatsoever; it was all straightforward and intensely shocking.
One student, gripping his deskmate's arm, whispered excitedly, his voice trembling, "Holy crap, Jiang Yang's going to be a director? Lu Han actually asked Jiang Yang for a role... That sounds amazing..."
The girl covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.
They only dared to discuss it in hushed tones.
Fearing that Lu Han would find out about the situation, she didn't discuss these private topics with Jiang Yang.
They have no idea what a producer is, nor do they understand what it means for Beijing Film Academy to invest in them.
All I know is that Lu Han is a household name.
The current top influencer.
He is an idol admired by countless people.
She actively asked Jiang Yang to give her a role.
The key point is that Jiang Yang is their alumnus, only one year ahead of them.
To be precise, Jiang Yang and Jiang Yang studied together at Tongliang Middle School for two years, so to be honest, Jiang Yang was their good buddy.
That's incredibly awesome.
Something to brag about.
He posts updates on QQ as soon as he gets home from school.
It's as if they themselves are the ones who are truly capable.
The crew on set also lost their composure.
They, who were originally performing their respective duties, all stopped what they were doing.
The costume assistant took out her phone and secretly recorded the scene, muttering, "I never thought that shooting an advertisement would lead to such a juicy scoop!"
Director Zhang Lei, being an industry insider, recognized the high quality of Jiang Yang's new work upon hearing this.
The fact that the Beijing Film Academy is fully supporting Jiang Yang means that his status in the industry has long surpassed that of ordinary actors.
If I can get on Jiang Yang's good side, I'll definitely have a smooth career in the industry.
Tian Xiwei stood next to Jiang Yang.
Hearing Lu Han's words, his eyes lit up, filled with anticipation and certainty.
I knew Jiang Yang was going to make a film or television series.
They also knew that Jiang Yang had a notebook from Beijing Electric Power University.
But when I actually heard Jiang Yang and Lu Han talk about this, and heard Lu Han actively asking for the role, I couldn't help but feel a ripple in my heart, and my heart was full of anticipation.
Because I believe in Jiang Yang's creative abilities.
I just feel that any work Jiang Yang makes will definitely be a huge hit.
Blindly believe.
Moreover, Tian Xiwei was also very clear in her heart that she would definitely have a role in it.
Chaoyue, Haochun, and Bailu will definitely be there too.
They were originally one of their own, so how could Jiang Yang not let them act?
She gently tugged at Jiang Yang's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "And me, Jiang Yang, you have to save me a role. If you don't, I'll beat you to death, and when we get back I'll have my mom and aunt scold you to death. I'll also have Yang Chaoyue steal your money and make you poor. Let's see how you'll make movies then!"
"Xiwei is here too?" Lu Han noticed Tian Xiwei.
"Brother Lu."
Tian Xiwei greeted her.
Let's chat for a bit.
Lu Han then said, "Brother Jiang, and Xiao Tong, you..."
really!
Jiang Yang's heart skipped a beat.
Even a fool could guess Lu Han's motives; this love-struck fool... Jiang Yang immediately interrupted, "By the way, Brother Lu, I'm currently filming a commercial at my alma mater, Tongliang Middle School."
Upon hearing this...
Lu Han paused for a moment, then understood the situation. He stopped mentioning Guan Xiaotong and his expression became even more serious: "Oh, okay, I saw the trending topic. She signed her first endorsement deal. Congratulations! Youxuepai, a national-level endorsement. Send me a learning machine later, and I'll give it to Xiaotong..."
I almost blurted out "Xiaotong" in my head.
Lu Han quickly corrected himself: "I gave it to my little fan."
Several girls in the classroom immediately gasped in surprise.
Tian Xi glanced at him, made a shushing gesture, and turned away to whisper, "Be quiet. If Lu Han notices, he'll start talking very deliberately."
The classroom fell silent again.
Everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
Normally, we're busy with classes, exams, and studying; we rarely get to see scenes like this.
"By the way, Brother Lu, have you been busy lately?"
"Emma, don't even mention it. I've been running around to events and keeping up with schedules every day since I came back to China. But there's some good news: 'Fighter of the Destiny' is getting an earlier release date. The post-production team is working on it very quickly, and it should air before your school starts."
"So fast, I thought I'd have to wait a while."
Lu Han explained with a smile:
"It's all because of you. You're currently very popular as the top scorer in the college entrance exam. Zhong Shujia can't wait to air it and keeps urging the post-production team. Xu Xiaoou is also keeping a close eye on it. The post-production team is working overtime every day and is having a tough time. They just want to use your popularity to boost the ratings. Hey, Brother Jiang, it seems like you and Xiwei have quite a few people on your side, right?"
As they talked...
Lu Han saw many figures in the corner of the screen.
There were also whispers and murmurs.
When Jiang Yang reminded him, he understood what was going on, so he deliberately feigned a puzzled expression: "Are you at some event too?"
"They're filming a commercial."
Jiang Yang smiled and turned the camera around: "My juniors and seniors, the second-year high school students, are all your fans. Say a few words."
Lu Han saw the screen filled with students.
There was also admiration and excitement in the students' eyes.
He flashed a bright smile and greeted the camera warmly.
"Hello everyone! I'm Lu Han. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
"I know that the second year of high school is a very important year, a crucial period for laying the foundation for the final year. There may be a lot of pressure and you may feel very tired, but please persevere."
"Just like your senior Jiang Yang, he was able to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination and become an excellent actor, all thanks to his own hard work and perseverance."
"I hope everyone can take him as an example, and in the best years of their youth, do their best to study, pursue their dreams, not let their efforts go to waste, and not leave any regrets."
"In addition, don't forget to balance work and rest. When you're tired, take a break and maintain a good mindset so you can better focus on your studies."
"Finally, I wish everyone academic success, admission to their ideal university, and a bright future!"
This last sentence ignited the students' enthusiasm.
Cheers and screams rose and fell.
The restraint and tension from before vanished completely.
The students whispered excitedly to each other, their eyes full of anticipation, and they unconsciously straightened their posture.
Take this opportunity to relax.
I hung up the video call with Lu Han.
Filming continues.
"Three, two, one, go!" (End of Chapter)
