Become Famous Another Day

 The filming of "Seventeenth Floor" was much smoother than Lu Yanhe imagined.

Before joining the cast, Chen Ziyan also specifically explained to Lu Yanhe that if there are some problems with the crew, especially the director, this is normal.

 Because Lu Yanhe's previous films were all directed by experienced and well-known directors, while Lian Bei had only filmed one film before filming "Seventeen Floors", and his experience was definitely not as rich as Luo Yuzhong's.

 Hence, Lu Yanhe himself was mentally prepared that some shots might be useless.

 Chen Ziyan said that this is the most common problem for inexperienced directors.

 However, Chen Ziyan was obviously overly worried.

Lian Bei may be inexperienced, but the preparations he made when filming this drama were not inadequate.

Lu Yanhe even saw a stack of storyboards bound by himself one day in Lian Bei's hand.

He has seen such storyboards before in the cartoonist's live broadcast.

 Very rough, with only some outline lines.

 But every shot is lifelike.

 This is how the team prepares to know what kind of shots they want to take before coming to the scene.

 This is a director who has a very thoughtful mind.

Lu Yanhe chatted more with Lian Bei. It may also be because of Lian Bei's young age. In front of Luo Yuzhong and Chen Lingling, they are the seniors. Lu Yanhe regards himself as a student and does not dare to disturb them too much. But Lian Bei gave Lu Yanhe a sense of relaxation in every aspect, allowing Lu Yanhe to chat with him relatively more as a friend.

Of course, what we talk about the most is actually the things in the play.

"Director, why do you want to film "Seventeenth Floor"? I think your previous film was a suspense crime type." Lu Yanhe asked Lian Bei.

Lian Bei said: "My favorite thing is actually this kind of story with a little thrilling and adventurous elements. However, there are very few domestic film and television dramas of this type, and I have no independent directing experience before. I have the opportunity to do it." It’s not easy to direct a film independently. I can’t be picky anymore. Only after that film became a hit did I have the space and freedom to choose what I want to make in my next film. Of course I chose This is my favorite show.”

 Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "No wonder, I see that you have drawn out the effect you want for each shot in advance."

"These pictures all appeared in my mind when I was thinking about the script, so this subject matter is what I like. I don't have to put in much effort to know exactly what I want to shoot." Lian Bei He smiled and said, "Besides, it may be impossible to meet such a luxurious cast in a drama with such a short episode in the future."

"How could it be?" Lu Yanhe shook his head, "In the future, the cast of your plays will only become stronger and stronger. No actor will miss a director as talented and successful as you."

Waiting for "Seventeenth Floor" to be aired, once it becomes a phenomenon again, Lian Bei's status in TV dramas will skyrocket. He will no longer be just the director of one hit drama, but two, and two in succession. Apart from anything else, all the actors will definitely be rushing to star in Lian Bei's third drama.

This industry has always been superstitious about "success learning". People who have succeeded before are more likely to achieve second and third successes. Everyone can't help but think so.

 Lu Yanhe asked: "Director, what is your next film? Do you have a plan?"

"No, now I am only focused on finishing this drama." Lian Bei said, "Besides, Beijing and Taiwan have also conveyed this idea to me. If "Seventeen Floors" is successful, they will I hope this drama can be developed into a series. This kind of subject matter can easily be developed into a series. "

Lu Yanhe did not sign a second season with Beijing and Taiwan. From the perspective of the script, "Seventeenth Floor" can indeed continue to be developed. After all, the ending of this script is that these people escaped from the lonely building on the desert island and gained life. The story of those behind the scenes and their escape can continue.

 “If there is a second season, will you still come?” Lian Bei asked.

 Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment and said: "If you continue to direct, I will come. If not, forget it."

Lian Bei was a little surprised and asked, "Why do you trust me so much?"

Lu Yanhe said: "My agent told me that the whole process of filming this movie may be very chaotic, and many scenes may even be shot in vain. However, since I came here, I have never encountered such a problem. You are always able to give me the best solution." Clear instructions and requirements, and respect my ideas, of course I trust you. ”

Lian Bei said with a smile: "I thought that after you won the award, you would want to pursue an artistic path. You don't know. When many people knew that I chose such a battle royale theme for my second film, People say that I have given up on the original intention of creating realism. God, I never said that every film I make should be based on realism."

Lu Yanhe said: "I have always felt that truly excellent works will transcend the boundaries between literary films and commercial films, and truly outstanding creators will also transcend the barriers of various doctrines. After I took a literature class for a year, Teachers often say that any creation, regardless of genre, style or whatever, always starts from people and returns to people. This sentence inspired me a lot. "

 Lian Bei nodded in approval.

Lian Bei said: "Although this is a story of continuous escape, and it seems that the different secret rooms and traps are the focus, in fact, what attracts me the most is the performance of people facing this kind of life-threatening moment. "

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Fear, anger, even loss of control, or numbness. Everyone's emotions are pulled under this extreme stimulation, like a train that is out of control and has run off the track. You have no idea what will happen to it. place."

"Wow." Lian Bei's eyes lit up, "Wait a minute, you asked me to write down what you just said. I'm going to use it as the copy for our trailer."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"ah?"

Lian Bei said: "What you just said is very suitable."

Lu Yanhe said: "Director, please remember to pay me the copyright fee."

Lian Bei smiled and shook his head.

“No problem, Beijing and Taiwan will pay the bill anyway.”

-

Unlike many TV series, "Seventeenth Floor" is directly funded and produced by Beijing and Taiwan.

 This also means that everyone, including Lian Bei, was hired by Beijing and Taiwan to complete the filming of this drama.

The right to speak is completely in the hands of Beijing and Taiwan. Everyone in this crew is a "wage earner".

The same is true for Chen Bige and Lu Yanhe.

Also because "Seventeen Floor" is Jingtai's own son, even if there is a group of people inside who don't want to see the success of this drama, standing in the lead, Jingtai definitely hopes that this drama will be a huge success. Anyway, two people Billions of production funds were thrown in.

 For this reason, Beijing and Taiwan gave "Seventeen Floors" the best publicity treatment. From the beginning of filming, the publicity for this drama has not stopped.

The news program on Beijing and Taiwan alone has been featured more than three times.

The campaign was so vigorous that after Lu Yanhe won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor, Beijing TV Station wanted to arrange for Lu Yanhe to appear in Beijing TV programs, interview programs, variety shows, etc.

At first, I thought I was just cooperating with the crew to promote the show, until Beijing and Taiwan got a cooperation agreement, and I turned out to be a permanent guest on a variety show, and a flying guest on six other shows.

 Chen Ziyan threw the agreement directly on the table and raised her eyebrows, "Are you kidding me? Once this agreement is signed, Xiao Lu will work for you in Beijing and Taiwan for the next year, right?"

Jiang Lan said: "This was proposed by Xu Bin, and I was just the microphone. This agreement not only sent you a copy, but also sent a copy to every other actor except Chen Bige."

"What do you mean? Does it mean that if we don't sign, our scenes will be deleted?" Chen Ziyan had a cold face. Even if the person sitting in front of her was her old acquaintance Jiang Lan, this matter had to be done in a business-like manner.

Jiang Lan had already anticipated Chen Ziyan's reaction when she came to see Chen Ziyan with this agreement.

 She sighed.

“I told you before that there are some people in the station who think that “Seventeen Floors” has the top resources and squeezes out the interests of other projects, so they keep talking about making up for it in other ways.”

Chen Ziyan sneered and said, "This is the first time I've heard of such a play. If Beijing and Taiwan want to do this, who will be filming your own dramas in the future?"

Jiang Lan was stunned.

"Jiang Tai, you don't need to tell me about this. I won't agree. Not to mention that Xiao Lu's current position and status are no longer the same. Even before he won the award, just because of Xiao Lu he gave this film Is it Jingtai who took advantage of the popularity brought about by the drama, or Xiao Lu?" Chen Ziyan's eyes flashed coldly, "Did they forget who invited Chen Bige, or what do they think?"

Jiang Lan: "Zi Yan, don't go online like this. I know our station is not doing this properly, but please understand us better. A drama with such a huge investment only has twelve episodes. You know how much pressure there is to attract investment and repay the capital, and even if it explodes, it may not be able to recoup the capital.”

Chen Ziyan shook her head and said: "Jiang Taiwan, if a popular drama cannot make back its money just because of the short number of episodes, then I suggest you fire the staff in charge of your station, and I can introduce you to a reliable one." ”

 Jiang Lan: “…”

Chen Ziyan: "The drama "Seventeen Floors" stars Chen Bige and Lu Yanhe. You are actually worried about investment issues. I don't know whether you are deliberately using this as an excuse to talk about what you want to talk about, or whether you are really worried about these Everyone has seen the decline of traditional TV stations in recent years. I always thought that it was once a strong TV station. Even if the impact of online video platforms has been severe in recent years, you should stick to your bottom line. What you got today This agreement really disappoints me.”

Jiang Lan’s eyebrows frowned slightly.

“Zi Yan, what you said is too harsh. Since we are creating this drama as the drama king of next year, it is understandable that we use the largest supporting publicity for this drama.”

"The premise is that it is based on normal market principles. It's your own free will, rather than asking the participating actors to sign such an unequal treaty just halfway through filming." Chen Ziyan glared at Jiang Lan unceremoniously. , "To be blunt, what is Xiao Lu's current status and status? Even if we don't mention his status as an actor, he is also a college student in Zhenhua and the editor-in-chief of the most influential youth business and literary magazine in China. He owes How big of a favor do you have to be on your Beijing TV show?”

Jiang Lan’s face turned green after being questioned by Chen Ziyan.

“We gave Xiaoludu the fairest market price, without any price reduction!”

"The most precious thing about Xiao Lu is not his market price, but his time." Chen Ziyan said coldly, "The reason for this is that I am an artist because I am tied to your Star Award. I dare not Are you falling out with me?"

 Jiang Lan: “…”

-

"You and Jiang Lan are so tough, isn't it your usual style?" Lu Qingzhen listened to Chen Ziyan and said with a smile, "What is going on?"

Chen Ziyan shook her head and said: "She is using this matter to test me. The drunkard is not interested in drinking. She obviously wants to see what my attitude will be towards this kind of thing. As long as my attitude is softer, she will They think I have no trump card.”

 “Jiang Lan is still smart.”

"Whoever can sit in this seat is not smart." Chen Ziyan took a sip of coffee, "The Star Awards will start soon, and the recording of "Idol Era" will also start. At this time, such a fuss is coming, what is her plan? Beijing and Taiwan No one can think of what they are planning."

Lu Qingzhen: "Then if you refuse with such a strong attitude, will Beijing and Taiwan be disadvantageous to Lu Yanhe?"

"Don't worry, "Seventeenth Floor" is the most important drama in Beijing and Taiwan. It cannot be detrimental to Xiao Lu in any case. Anything negative about Xiao Lu will also affect "Seventeenth Floor"." Chen Ziyan said, " What's more, with me here, Jiang Lan dares to do something small? She won't forget so quickly how the drama "Seventeen Floors" came to Xiao Lu."

Lu Qingzhen smiled and said, "As expected, it has to be you, Zi Yan. I am happy to be your artist."

 Chen Ziyan: “Xiao Lu strives for his own success.”

“Lu Yanhe’s current momentum will probably be used by many people.” Lu Qingzhen reminded, “No company that produces male actors would be willing to see another Shang Yongzhou appear.”

 Chen Ziyan smiled and said: "Qingzhen, you don't know, Xiao Lu is going to take a path that no one will do against him, a path that no one can copy."

Lu Qingzhen frowned slightly and asked: "Are you talking about his identity as the editor-in-chief of "Jump Up"?"

Chen Ziyan: "That's just one of them. There are other things. Let's keep them secret for now. You will know later."

Lu Qingzhen nodded.

“Anyway, I came to Xingyu because of you. If you need me to do anything, just tell me directly.” Lu Qingzhen said.

 “Yeah.” Chen Ziyan smiled slightly at Lu Qingzhen.

-

Jiang Lan did not lie to Chen Ziyan. Except for Chen Bige, such a cooperation agreement was indeed sent to every other actor.

Beijing and Taiwan are betting that "Seventeen Floors" will be a hit, so they bet on these actors in advance and use better publicity resources to sign them for future cooperation opportunities.

 This incident caused some actors in the crew to discuss it privately.

When Lu Yanhe was asked, he looked confused because Chen Ziyan had never told him about it.

Yan Zhimeng and Lin Chan came to Lu Yanhe to ask about this matter.

 When they learned that Lu Yanhe didn't even know about this, they looked at each other.

“Is that Producer Hu trying to trick us?” Lin Chan frowned slightly and asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "Maybe they talked to my agent directly and didn't tell me that all my affairs are decided by my agent."

Lin Chan looked astonished and nodded, feeling a little embarrassed at the same time and said: "Producer Hu asked me and Yan Zhimeng respectively to sign contracts with Beijing and Taiwan to star in two other dramas, as well as some variety shows. , saying that as long as we sign these, some resources will be allocated to us for the promotion of the subsequent drama. "

“What did your agency say?” Lu Yanhe asked.

Lin Chan said with some embarrassment: "Both of us signed a contract with a very small agency, and we have no right to refuse when it comes to Beijing and Taiwan, but both of us feel that... this is a disadvantage. After all, "Seventeenth Floor" is broadcast In the future, our career will definitely usher in better development. If we sign two dramas for them based on the current salary standards..."

Hearing this, Lu Yanhe roughly understood.

He thought for a while and said: "I don't have much experience in this matter, so I can't provide good advice, but I think what you said makes sense. I haven't heard of such a thing here yet. Maybe My agent will solve it directly. I think my agent will definitely not help me sign this kind of agreement, and neither will Sister Bi Ge. I think you should discuss it with your agent. If If you have any concerns, just tell the truth. You can't buy or sell by force. Besides, after the broadcast of "Seventeen Floors", it's just a lie for Beijing and Taiwan to focus their promotional resources on who the audience is attracted to. The key is which character the audience is attracted to. Impressed.”

Lin Chan was a little worried and said, "But if we reject Jingtai, will Jingtai delete a lot of our plays?"

Lu Yanhe: "This shouldn't be the case. Anyway, I will most likely not sign such an agreement. Do they want to delete some of my plays? What's more, Director Lian Bei attaches so much importance to this play, and he He is a director who has high requirements for the quality of his dramas. Beijing and Taiwan will never destroy the quality of a drama because of this. They should still hope that this drama will be popular. "

 After chatting with Yan Zhimeng and Lin Chan, Lu Yanhe contacted Chen Ziyan.

 After asking about this matter, Chen Ziyan briefly explained what was going on.

Lu Yanhe told Chen Ziyan what Lin Chan and Yan Zhimeng had told him.

Chen Ziyan: "Then Jiang Lan is not outrageous enough to ask us to sign a new drama. He just wants you to appear in a variety show behind Beijing TV."

Lu Yanhe asked: “Why does Beijing and Taiwan do this?”

"There is a reason for this. I think that after "Seventeen Floors" is aired, you will all become popular with this drama, so I want to buy stocks first." Chen Ziyan said immediately, "Just like the current video platform, if you are optimistic about a young actor, Sign up for four or five dramas at once, and as long as one of them is a hit, the others will just sit there and make money, since your current salary is so low."

Lu Yanhe: “You actually have such a calculation.”

“Everyone with a clear mind is going to the video platform. What they are doing is simply drinking poison to quench their thirst.” Chen Ziyan complained, “If this continues, which actor will give priority to Beijing and Taiwan dramas.”

-

These are all digressions. In any case, filming is the main topic. On this day, I was filming on location.

 The content of the filming was that several of them were in a secret room and had to find the key to unlock the door and escape within ten minutes, otherwise they would be burned to death.

Lian Bei pulled all the actors together and said, "As you all know, I want to shoot this scene in a ten-minute long shot, with a 1:1 ratio of time flow between the time inside and outside the scene. Before we We’ve rehearsed it all, I’ll leave it to you all later.”

 This is the first long shot since the filming of "Seventeenth Floor".

Lian Bei wanted to shoot like this, but none of the actors found it difficult or uncooperative. They were all excited and gearing up to star in such a scene.

 The actors in "Seventeenth Floor" put aside their private and personal issues, and none of them take acting as a joke when it comes to acting. Lu Yanhe had seen some reports about "unprofessional actors" on the Internet before, and he had also thought about it, what would he do if he met such an actor?

 Fortunately, I have never encountered it so far.

 When filming such a scene, everyone’s cooperation is very important.

This is not just a multi-person long shot scene, there are many dangers.

 Very much in need of rehearsal.

Lu Yanhe walked through the play twice with everyone in this narrow secret room.

Li Yuefeng suddenly said: "Can I add a word here? Otherwise, I don't think it goes well."

The line spoken by Li Yuefeng was when they finally found a key but couldn't open the lock. Fatty Li, a retired soldier played by Jiang Jun, scolded Poison Master Wang played by Zhimeng for giving random instructions and wasting everyone's time. Chen Bige interrupted them at this time and asked Li Yuefeng to go to the top bookshelf to look for the key again.

 Everyone looked at him.

 Lian Bei asked: “What words do you want to add?”

Li Yuefeng said: "I think He Huaijin should be confused at this time. The key he just found from the top of the bookshelf cannot open the door. Why did Li Meng ask him to go to the top of the bookshelf to find it now?"

"Because He Huaijin has 100% trust in Li Meng." Chen Bige said, "If you question Li Meng's instructions at this time, the relationship between the characters will not be established."

 Li Yuefeng: "One hundred percent trust does not mean that He Huaijin does not have his own thoughts. It is a reasonable reaction to have doubts at this time, isn't it?"

 Chen Bige looked at Lian Bei.

 Lian Bei looked at Shen Yue.

"Li Yuefeng makes sense. Li Meng is giving instructions again at this time. He Huaijin trusts Li Meng 100% and does not question it. This is reasonable, but it is not normal for others to be indifferent to this. After all, there is not much time left." Lian Bei said to Shen Yue, "Xiao Yue, you want to add a word here. If you want to question Li Meng's decision, just ask, the key we found on the top floor of the bookshelf just now can't open this door. What are you looking for there now?" use?"

Shen Yue was stunned, and immediately borrowed a pen from the person next to her to write this sentence for herself in the script.

Li Yuefeng was stunned.

 “Why don’t you let me ask this question?”

Lian Bei glanced at him and said: "Bige made it very clear. He Huaijin and Li Meng have the strongest trusting relationship in this play. You can understand He Huaijin in this way. Even if Li Meng's decision is wrong, He Huaijin will not He would think that his judgment was wrong because he believed in Li Meng.”

Li Yuefeng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end no words came out.

 Lian Bei looked at Lu Yanhe again.

"After Shen Yue raised her doubts, Li Yuefeng, you don't have to worry about Shen Yue's doubts. You go directly to Xiao Lu. At this time, you have to think in advance why Li Meng asked He Huaijin to do this, and then think clearly in one to two seconds. Say the next line of your explanation at this time and explain it to everyone. "

Lu Yanhe nodded.

-

 Although the filming of this scene had been rehearsed several times, the actual shooting was still stuck several times. When it finally passed, three hours had passed.

One shot is ten minutes long, a terrifying scene.

 When Lian Bei announced that it was OK, everyone smiled with relief.

Only Li Yuefeng's smile was a little forced, as if he was depressed that the words he just said didn't apply to him.

Lu Yanhe didn’t understand why he proposed such an idea.

Even he can understand it. Anyone can raise that question, except He Huaijin, played by Li Yuefeng. Once He Huaijin starts to question Li Meng's words, the relationship between the two people changes.

Li Yuefeng is an old actor who has acted in several dramas. Don’t you understand?

Lu Yanhe doesn’t think Li Yuefeng doesn’t understand.

Li Yuefeng always wants to add drama and lyrics to himself. After working together for so many days, everyone has gradually become aware of Li Yuefeng's thoughts.

-

Li Yuefeng returned to his lounge angrily and told his assistant: "Lian Bei just doesn't like me and is targeting me. Isn't this my misunderstanding?"

When the assistant saw Li Yuefeng losing his temper, he had to try his best to comfort him and said to him: "Why would the director specifically target you, Brother Feng? Did we misunderstand?"

"Misunderstanding? I wanted to add a word, but he gave it to Shen Yue. Isn't this obvious?"

Li Yuefeng complained for a while, then suddenly remembered something and asked his assistant: "Have you heard anything about what I asked you to inquire about for me?"

The assistant said: "I went to find out, but almost no one has discussed why the director changed his attitude towards you, and no one has mentioned it. There are no relevant rumors at all. Brother Feng, is it true that we have misunderstood?" "

Li Yuefeng frowned, shook his head, and said, "Impossible."

“Didn’t Producer Hu say he wanted to talk to me about something yesterday? I was on the phone at the time, did he come to me later?”

 “No.” The assistant shook his head.

 Hu Siwei is the producer sent by Beijing and Taiwan to the crew, and he has great power in the crew.

Li Yuefeng rolled his eyes and stood up.

The assistant asked: "Brother Feng, where are you going?"

“Go to Producer Hu,” Li Yuefeng said.

 As a result, even after turning around, he didn't see Hu Siwei.

What about people?

-

"Producer Hu, what do you want from me?" Lu Yanhe looked at Hu Siwei who suddenly came to find him, and was a little surprised.

 Hu Siwei had a kind and approachable smile on his face.

 “How is life on the set these days? Is there anything missing that needs to be filled?”

 Lu Yanhe shook his head with a smile and said, "No, the conditions provided by the crew are already very good."

Hu Siwei nodded and said, "That's good."

He looked at Lu Yanhe, smiled, and asked, "When this movie is finished, you will be a sophomore, right?"

 Lu Yanhe nodded and said yes.

“This time I work with you, and I understand why you became famous at such a young age.” Hu Siwei said, “You are really an artist who is easy to work with.”

Lu Yanhe still didn’t know what Hu Si Siwei came to see him for.

 It’s not normal to praise him as soon as you come.

“Thank you, Producer Hu. I actually didn’t do anything. I just did what an actor should do normally.”

“Actually, there is a play coming up and I would like to make an appointment with you. I wonder if you can act in it.” Hu Siwei suddenly said.

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"Um?"

Hu Siwei said: "I haven't made up my mind yet, but after seeing your performance in "Seventeenth Floor", I very much hope to work with you in another drama."

 Lu Yanhe said thank you repeatedly.

"However, Producer Hu, you also know that when I was in school, I basically had no way to film." Lu Yanhe didn't understand why Hu Siwei suddenly found him, "This time I was able to film "Seventeenth Floor" because it was able to Finished filming during the summer vacation.”

 Hu Siwei nodded and said, "I know, but the play I'm talking about can just match your time."

 “Huh?” Lu Yanhe looked at him confused.

"This is a one-unit sitcom." Hu Siwei said, "Each episode is about 20 minutes, and it is broadcast every week. It is equivalent to filming and broadcasting at the same time. It is a new attempt for us in Beijing and Taiwan."

Lu Yanhe was surprised.

There are precedents for this type of drama abroad. Lu Yanhe has watched "The Big Bang Theory" and "Young Sheldon" before.

 In fact, even the more famous "Friends" is also of this type.

Hu Siwei said: "The script is still being written. It tells the story of six young people in Yuming. The theme is the friendship and life between them."

ha?

etc?

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

　　Why does this sound so much like "Friends"? Although Lu Yanhe has not watched "Friends", he roughly knows what the theme of "Friends" is.

Lu Yanhe looked at Hu Siwei in surprise.

 “What’s wrong?” Hu Siwei asked.

 Lu Yanhe said: "Producer Hu, how many episodes do you plan to shoot for this drama?"

Hu Siwei hesitated for a moment and said: "To be honest, this is not yet certain. We currently only plan to shoot eight episodes and broadcast them for two months. We will see the ratings. This drama is to save the ratings, so it will not be carried out. The webcast will be broadcast exclusively by Beijing and Taiwan. If it can increase the ratings, it will continue to be filmed. If not, it will be over in eight episodes. "

 Lu Yanhe nodded.

  “Can I ask if there is a more detailed introduction about this drama?”

Hu Siwei said: "This drama is actually produced by a very close friend of mine, and I serve as a producer for him. There have been sitcoms in China, but they are rare in recent years. A twenty-minute episode mainly focuses on Several scenes were shot at a low cost, so it was possible to try to broadcast it exclusively on a television station.”

Lu Yanhe said: "Those six young people, the actor's salary will not be low, right? If the ratings on the TV station are not high, wouldn't it still be a loss?"

"It won't just be broadcast on Beijing TV. When this season is finished, we will package the eight-episode season and sell it to the video platform." Hu Siwei said, "Of course, we only have a budget for hiring first-line actors for this drama. All other roles will be played by non-A-list actors."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"You mean to ask me to handle the ratings of this drama?" Lu Yanhe was confused, "This... puts too much pressure on me, right?"

Hu Siwei said: "This is based on our investigation and calculation. Your own appeal is enough to support the base. We believe that this drama will definitely attract other viewers. Although the script has not been released yet, there is a story It’s an outline, let’s take a look at it first, how about it?”

Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said yes.

He asked again: "Producer Hu, you should know that my agent, Zi Yan, handles my work for me. Why don't you go to her directly?"

Hu Siwei said: "This is also the second thing I want to tell you. Before you decide to act, please don't tell your agent. I am not asking you to hide the secret from your agent and accept the film privately. But... I heard that Chen Ziyan has a good relationship with our Jiang Tai. This drama is not Jiang Tai's project. If you are willing to act in it, I will think of a way, at least until you finish filming "Seventeen Floors" before we talk about it. This will prevent Jiang Tai from mistakenly thinking that I am deliberately poaching. "

Lu Yanhe didn’t quite understand why Hu Siwei did this.

 But I vaguely realized that this matter should be related to the internal fighting between Beijing and Taiwan.

 He thought for a while and agreed temporarily.

"OK."

-

After Hu Siwei left, Lu Yanhe opened the project book that Hu Siwei had brought over and read it carefully.

From this point of view, this drama is really very similar to "Friends". It tells the story of the friendship and life of six young people in Yuming. Each episode has a theme, and then some ridiculous stories happened between the six people. It is very interesting. It's a sitcom, but it's more life-like and less exaggerated than regular sitcoms.

Easy.

 Lu Yanhe rarely saw a script that was easy to read.

To be honest, before Lu Yanhe read so many scripts, combined with his understanding of the film and television industry in his two lives, he always felt that there was a big gap in domestic film and television dramas, which was light-hearted life comedies.

 There was a drama called "Love Apartment" that was very popular among young people, but after that, there seemed to be nothing else. The mainstream market for domestic film and television dramas is still dramas or idol dramas with various themes, but it is rare to see short dramas with this kind of life flow and situation flow.

Lu Yanhe didn’t understand why, so after reading the project introduction, he was quite surprised and excited.

 Apart from anything else, just because it is similar to "Friends", Lu Yanhe wanted to play it.

 It is unavoidable because there has been a successful precedent, and it was a huge success. Lu Yanhe could see the heights this drama could reach and couldn't help but be moved.

 As for Jiang Lan’s question…

Lu Yanhe did not hesitate and contacted Chen Ziyan immediately: Sister Ziyan, is Director Jiang Lan your friend?
