Become Famous Another Day

In this industry, it is generally rare for news to be kept tightly guarded and the wind completely suppressed.

Actors like Lu Yanhe, who are in the limelight, have attracted much attention in the industry. His schedule is information that all film and television companies want to have at hand.

However, major companies have sent a large number of scripts to his company in the past six months, but almost all of them were declined by his agent.

 This makes film and television companies and platforms very helpless.

 However, given the current market conditions of Lu Yanhe, it is normal for such a situation to occur.

Winner of the Golden Tripod Award, a major drama with a ratings of over 2, not very popular but as popular as the top, highly recognized for his acting skills, top personal image, and extremely high social evaluation... These buffs are all superimposed on Lu Yanhe, making Lu Yanhe a A unique existence in the entertainment industry.

And his status as a screenwriter has given him a more special position in the entertainment industry. Sending him scripts is one thing. After "Six People" was aired, many film and television companies even came to book projects with him.

 Many people know that Lu Yanhe has two projects in preparation.

 One is a sitcom like "Six People".

 One is a "battle royale" themed drama like "Seventeen Floors".

 How the latter will be depends on the broadcast effect of "Seventeenth Floor" first.

 The former has become a piece of meat that is being targeted by larger film and television companies, who want to **** it from themselves.

 For this reason, many people want to see Lu Yanhe. It's just that Lu Yanhe is too difficult to get in touch with, so he still has to go round and round to find Chen Ziyan.

 Chen Ziyan also made some rumors. Regarding the cooperation of this drama, the most interested partner at present is Northern Lights Video. They have given very generous conditions, and Lu Yanhe is considering cooperating with Northern Lights Video.

 Lu Yanhe’s news has spread a lot in the industry, especially traditional TV stations, who want to replicate the ratings miracle of "Six People" in Beijing and Taiwan.

 So, when I heard that Lu Yanhe’s first consideration was the Northern Lights video, I was not angry but happy.

They are not as greedy as Beijing and Taiwan - in fact, after "Six People", the sitcom written by Lu Yanhe will definitely not be able to produce a drama with an average episode cost of 5 million yuan like "Six People", and it will definitely be the best Considering the 2% ratings, even the production cost of 2,000 to 30 million per episode is not high.

 "Six People" has been rebroadcast in Beijing and Taiwan for no less than 30 rounds, and each round of broadcasts generates millions in advertising revenue.

 And this trend seems to be continuing. After all, "Six People" is not yet available on the video platform. If you want to watch "Six People", you must watch it in Beijing and Taiwan.

Therefore, the rebroadcast rate of "Six People" in Beijing and Taiwan is extremely high, driving the ratings, and there is even a grand occasion where the ratings of the 7 o'clock time in the morning are higher than the ratings of the prime time that night - of course, this kind of This situation only happened once, which is a miracle that cannot be replicated. However, it is enough to prove the appeal of "Six People".

In this case, other TV stations know very well that Lu Yanhe’s new drama will definitely not be able to get it if it does not cost the top price in the industry. But if it is only broadcast on a TV station like "Six People", there is no video platform distribution and risk sharing. Once the ratings are not ideal, it will be a blood loss, and maybe hundreds of millions will just disappear. For this reason, after analysis, they no longer have the dream of broadcasting exclusively on TV stations.

Now everyone knows that "Six People" can be broadcast exclusively in Beijing and Taiwan because this drama is invested and produced by Beijing and Taiwan. The cost is low, and if you invest in it, you will invest in it, and you will not lose money. They no longer have the conditions of "the right time, right place and right people".

Chen Ziyan contacted Lu Yanhe, and several first-tier TV stations contacted them to discuss cooperation in new dramas.

At this time, Lu Yanhe definitely couldn't take Qiao.

He said: "Sister Zi Yan, please help me negotiate. Just say that I am filming and going to school and really can't spare the time. We will cooperate with whichever company comes up with the best cooperation plan."

Chen Ziyan: "They will send senior executives at least director level to talk to us. Don't you want to take this opportunity to get to know them? Getting to know them will also be of great benefit to you. In the future, whether you are acting yourself or writing other scripts, I have to deal with them a lot for all my works.”

"Don't rush this moment, Sister Ziyan. The main reason is that I am here. You also know that I don't know much about these things. I can easily show my cowardice and let others see the truth. I may not necessarily give such high conditions." Lu Yanhe has already done this himself. Analysis, "You have full authority to deal with these matters on my behalf. When the time comes, there really needs to be a turning point. You can also say that I am not satisfied, and they can't say anything. On the contrary, if I appear with you, then they will really be able to It’s obvious that I’m completely relying on you.”

Lu Yanhe's analysis made Chen Ziyan very emotional - Lu Yanhe has only been in the industry for just two or three years, and he is about to leave the army.

 His self-knowledge of himself is almost too rational. If there was any, Chen Ziyan was embarrassed to say it out of sympathy, but Lu Yanhe could think of it on his own. In fact, Chen Ziyan didn't want Lu Yanhe to come forward right away - the reason why she asked Lu Yanhe was that compared to this matter, Chen Ziyan felt that it was more important not to let any bad misunderstandings arise between her and Lu Yanhe.

If she directly takes the initiative to make the decision for Lu Yanhe without asking Lu Yanhe, then someone who wants to say something to sow discord with Lu Yanhe may cast a shadow on the relationship between her and Lu Yanhe.

There are many managers in the industry who keep artists in the dark and take extra profits for themselves.

 Chen Ziyan is not such an agent and cannot be mistaken for such an agent.

 The former is a matter of character, while the latter is a matter of human nature and sophistication.

While communicating with various partners about cooperation matters, Chen Ziyan also released some recent developments about Lu Yanhe in a timely manner.

Hence, the news that Lu Yanhe had taken over the filming of a literary film directed by a newcomer slowly spread.

Lu Yanhe’s decision to take on such a film at this stage is just like when he made “Six People”. From the perspective of public opinion, there will definitely be more negatives than positives.

 There is no way, the domestic film and television market is like this. Film and television projects are graded, and so are actors. If Lu Yanhe was a newly popular actor like Yan Liang, it would be a good thing for him to take on a movie like "Late Spring". It would be a TV drama actor transforming into a movie actor, and everyone would encourage and be optimistic about it. However, he is Lu Yanhe, and he is no longer a newcomer who has just become famous. He should appear in major productions or works by famous directors, not in art films directed by a newcomer.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yanhe had just released "Six People", which slapped everyone in the face, as soon as this news came out, negative comments would definitely come flooding in as soon as possible.

 But because of "Six People", this kind of unsightly discussion only circulated in a small area.

-

He Yingzi was upset because Lang Xia was not nominated for the Red River Award. After hearing the news, he rolled his eyes and immediately went to inquire about this movie.

"Newcomer? Literary film? Really?" After He Yingzi heard about it, she couldn't understand it, "No way?"

But the other party said with certainty, "It's true, it's been confirmed."

He Yingzi almost laughed out loud.

"What is Chen Ziyan doing? Accepting a movie like this for Lu Yanhe?" He Yingzi couldn't hide the ridicule in her tone, "Can't she accept a better movie for Lu Yanhe? There are so many big-budget movies in the country, and Lu Yanhe's current status It’s not like the market situation won’t be his turn, right?”

 “Maybe I want to win a prize.”

"Award? If you want to compete for an award, you have to make a film by a great director. How can you make a film by a new director to win an award?" He Yingzi shook his head and sighed, "It's a fool's errand."

“What group is Lang Xia going to join next?”

"Director Fu Kai is preparing a new movie, in which there is a third male lead who is suitable for Lang Xia. I am talking to them." He Yingzi said, "It is still starring Shang Yongzhou. There are many people grabbing it. I am still thinking about how to do it. Fight for it.”

“Shang Yongzhou? Isn’t he Lu Yanhe’s senior brother? Why didn’t Lu Yanhe play this role?”

"You are such a cuckold. Let me tell you, it would be best if Lu Yanhe didn't act." He Yingzi said immediately, "Besides, what kind of senior brother is this? How could Shang Yongzhou be willing to let Lu Yanhe act in a movie with him? Lu Yanhe is now The momentum is so strong that it may threaten Shang Yongzhou’s status in a few years.”

 “Threatening Shang Yongzhou’s status? You are exaggerating.”

"Don't take it seriously. If Lu Yanhe is just an actor, he is also a screenwriter who has written big hits. When these two identities are combined, his influence in the film and television industry will be as great as that of just an actor. "

Although He Yingzi hates Lu Yanhe as a competitor, she must also admit that Lu Yanhe is threatening. In a sense, He Yingzi has even given up the idea of ​​letting Lang Xia compete with Lu Yanhe, because the two are no longer in the same competition. On the road.

"However, this matter can be put to good use." He Yingzi said.

-

After class, Lu Yanhe put on his schoolbag and did not go back to his dormitory or the library. Instead, he went outside the school, got in the car, and went to Shang Yongzhou's appointment.

 Chen Ziyan said: "I also suddenly received a call from Shang Yongzhou. They said they wanted to meet you. I guess it was the movie project he and Fu Kai were working on later, and they wanted to star in you together."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "Huh?"

Chen Ziyan: "You remember Fu Kai, right? He is the director of "Carpe Diem"."

Lu Yanhe nodded, "I remember, I just didn't expect that they would suddenly come to me."

 Chance Chen Ziyan: “It’s not surprising that they would come to you. It would be strange if they didn’t come to you. Which film project doesn’t want to come to you now?”

 “Is there a script?”

"Yes." Chen Ziyan nodded, "I learned about the situation. In this script, the role I want you to play is the third male lead. However, the role is quite sufficient and it is not a tool role. They also said that if you are willing to play If so, you can readjust the script to increase the role of your line and make your character's role more important."

 Lu Yanhe: “What type of movie is it?”

"As far as I know, it's similar to "Carpe Diem". It's about a man who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and decides to make up for his past regrets before he dies. It's a drama. The character you play is a cousin of Shang Yongzhou, because I was in college, so I happened to stay at his place during the holidays, so we embarked on this journey to make up for our regrets." Chen Ziyan said.

 Lu Yanhe nodded.

 Chen Ziyan: "Don't worry about the schedule. We can't shoot this year, and if we do, it won't be until next year. We're preparing now. If you act in it, the script will have to be adjusted."

 Before, Lu Yanhe encountered problems several times, and Shang Yongzhou stood up to speak to him when needed and gave him great support.

No matter whether Lu Yanhe plays this drama or not, he will definitely go to meet him and have a serious chat about this role.

 This is the respect that must be given to Shang Yongzhou.

Moreover, putting this aside, Lu Yanhe couldn't just reject Chen Ziyan's relationship as an ordinary cooperation.

 Carpe Diem did very well at the box office. Fu Kai and Shang Yongzhou renewed their relationship and continued to collaborate on this movie. This is also a common practice in the industry.

Especially the relationship between directors and actors—many directors like to use actors they have worked with before, because they are familiar with each other and trust each other.

Just like Chen Lingling, as soon as there is a suitable role for Lu Yanhe, she will immediately make an appointment with Lu Yanhe.

 They met in a restaurant.

 It’s time for lunch.

 “Hi, director, senior brother, long time no see.”

 “I haven’t congratulated you in person for achieving such a good result.”

 “When will there be a celebration party?” Shang Yongzhou joked with a smile.

We all exchanged pleasantries before sitting down.

“Have you just finished class?” Shang Yongzhou asked when he saw Lu Yanhe put down his schoolbag.

 “Yeah.” Lu Yanhe nodded, “I’m hungry.”

“Let’s eat first.” Shang Yongzhou said immediately, “Let’s chat while eating.”

 “Well, I feel like I could eat a cow right now.”

 “You will always be a giant with a mouth.” Chen Ziyan complained helplessly.

 Fu Kai and Shang Yongzhou laughed immediately.

When the dishes were served, everyone started eating.

 Chen Ziyan said to Shang Yongzhou: "I'm quite curious. Why did you take a role like "Come on, Big Star"? Have you finished filming?"

"The filming is over, but I can't help it. The producer helped me a lot before and came to me with this script to act in it. We communicated with it for a long time. Even though I knew there would be a lot of criticism when this film was made, I couldn't put it down." Shang Yongzhou was a little helpless, "I just hope the box office will be a little better and not too ugly."

“The box office will not be bad, but if you are in your current position and make such a noisy light comedy, many people may not be used to it.” Chen Ziyan said, “Everyone is used to your tall image.”

"In that case, making this movie is not a bad thing. At least it will let everyone know that I am actually an ordinary person." Shang Yongzhou said, "Another thing, now I can basically only receive these homogeneous roles. , there are not that many good scripts, most of them look stupid, and the better scripts are all the same types of characters that have been played before, and they can’t bring out anything fresh.”

 Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he heard what Shang Yongzhou said.

 He did not expect that even Shang Yongzhou could not receive a good script and was worried about it.

Shang Yongzhou suddenly remembered something, looked at Lu Yanhe and said, "I heard that you also write movie scripts?"

“Ah, yes.” Lu Yanhe was eating shrimps, so he quickly chewed them and swallowed them.

 “When will I help your senior brother write a script?” Shang Yongzhou said. Lu Yanhe nodded.

 Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at Shang Yongzhou and said, "Don't be fooled by Xiao Lu. You have so many projects on hand. Don't fool him into writing a script for you. You don't have time to do it. It's a waste of his energy."

Shang Yongzhou showed a sad expression, "Look, now you only know how to protect Xiaolu, not me."

Chen Ziyan: "You have to defend yourself. There are a bunch of Best Actor trophies at home, and everyone is begging you to film."

 She pushed back to the point.

Fu Kai was so happy that he lowered his head and smiled.

As he talked, he came to the topic of today, the "Road to Glory" they are preparing.

 “This name is a bit big.” Chen Ziyan couldn’t help but sigh.

Fu Kai smiled and nodded.

"Indeed, but after thinking about it for a long time, we still think this name is the most suitable."

"Jiang Ying was a character who was cynical, high-minded, and had a bad temper at the beginning. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have stayed at his cousin's house instead of going home during the summer vacation," Fu Kai said. , "As a result, he also caused trouble at his cousin's house, and even took a girl he just met to his cousin's house to have sex. When his cousin took him as a driver, he was unwilling to do so until he was threatened. Along the way, when he accompanied his cousin to make up for the regrets in his life, his mentality was also touched by these past events, and was slowly affected and changed. "

 Fu Kai briefly described the character who approached Lu Yanhe.

"If this movie embodies the four words of 'making up for regrets' from the hero, then the four words of 'avoiding regrets' are embodied from the character Jiang Ying. One is to look back on life, and the other is to It’s about pursuing life forward.” Fu Kai said, “If you are willing to act, I will adjust the script in this direction.”

 After hearing Fu Kai talk about this character, he nodded.

This kind of story seems to be a very classic movie about "life insights". In other words, it is a chicken soup type story and a healing movie.

  But to put it another way, this is also a subject that is almost being filmed.

 There have been too many movies like this in the past.

Lu Yanhe made his own judgment almost instantly. For such a story, you have to look at how the script is written.

 If the script is well written, then such a movie and such a role are worth playing.

 But if the script is not well written, very vulgar, and very ordinary, then it will probably be useless when filmed.

Of course, Lu Yanhe has read Fu Kai's "Carpe Diem" and knows that this type of story is his specialty.

Lu Yanhe is quite optimistic about this.

 The script should be good.

Shang Yongzhou added: "This movie will still be shot according to the rhythm of commercial movies."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

 For the same story, commercial films and literary films are shot in completely different ways, and the effects produced are also completely different.

The reason why Shang Yongzhou suddenly added this sentence at this time is because Fu Kai's narration just now made this story sound like a very classic and orthodox art film, about humanistic care and growth and transformation.

 He was reminding Lu Yanhe not to misunderstand this movie.

Lu Yanhe said: "I like the movie "Carpe Diem" very much. It is a special honor to be invited to participate in this movie. However, because I haven't seen the script yet, I have no choice but to directly agree to say I am willing to act."

 Chen Ziyan smiled and continued: "He must read the script before making a decision when taking up a role."

Fu Kai nodded, "Of course, we understand that this is our latest version of the script. You can take a look at it first. However, in this version, Jiang Ying's role is a bit small. We did not give him this growth line at the beginning, but Use him as a borrowed cousin to create some conflicts and jokes with the male protagonist in the early stages of the movie.”

Lu Yanhe took the script and read the first few pages carefully.

 After reading that the male protagonist Mo Wen was about to embark on a journey to make up for his regrets, Lu Yanhe realized that in the original script, it was the male protagonist Mo Wen’s friend, not his cousin Jiang Ying, who took on the role of driver.

 No wonder they said that Jiang Ying was only the third male lead before.

-

 This is a typical, classic narrative movie script.

Well written.

If a movie is a test, according to the standard answer, this movie script can score at least 80 points.

Lu Yanhe was a little hesitant, not sure whether he wanted to act or not.

How to put it this way, this movie doesn’t have the urge to act.

 From this character alone, he is a very unattractive character to Lu Yanhe.

 In the early stage, he did a lot of bad things and had a bad temper. Later, he was influenced by his cousin and showed his kind and soft side.

 Such a character transformation is of course a sign of growth and transformation...but it is too normal. Lu Yanhe thought to himself that it was not even as attractive to him as Yao Yuan, who had not changed before or after in "The Golden Age". To be precise, it is the charm of the character itself that does not attract him much.

The whole drama of this movie is actually Mo Wen, played by Shang Yongzhou. He had several important scenes in the future, and Lu Yanhe was moved just by reading the script. The complex emotions that cannot be described in words, facing the past of life and the cliff of the future, blocked Lu Yanhe's heart.

He is only a 21-year-old young man, but he can also be moved and infected by this emotion.

But the young cousin in his twenties in the script could not impress or impress him.

-

As soon as Lu Yanhe told Liu Bige about his hesitation and confusion, Liu Bige immediately said: "Don't make a decision yet."

 “Hmm? Why?”

"Wait until they send you the revised script." Liu Bige said, "Oral stories are always just plots, and movies are not plots. Why are you moved by those parts of Mo Wen when you read the script? It's because he already has "It has a complete emotional point, but according to Fu Kai, the really key parts of your character have not been written yet. It is all made up by your own imagination, and of course it cannot impress you."

Lu Yanhe said: "Will there be any changes? I have already told me about the character's plot for the role I was asked to play."

"Of course there are changes. If you think about it, the same thing in Gui Youguang's pen is 'There is a loquat tree in the courtyard. It was planted by my wife when she died. Now it is like a canopy.' But in Su Shi's pen it is 'Ten years ago' "Life and death are blurry, without thinking, unforgettable", but in most people's writings, there is only one sentence, "I miss her very much". Liu Bige said, "You have already seen that this book is a classic narrative script. That shows that it is a literary and humanistic film. If you don’t see the specific script, or even the final cut of the film, it is absolutely impossible to judge objectively just by listening to the story. A film is never a story. "

 Liu Bige's words made Lu Yanhe think deeply.

-

 Fortunately, "Path of Glory" does not require Lu Yanhe to make an immediate decision. They will also revise a script for Lu Yanhe first, and Lu Yanhe can read it before making a decision.

 It is Liu Bige's words that brought Lu Yanhe thinking far beyond Lu Yanhe's expectations.

 After several days, Lu Yanhe was thinking about classic narrative.

In a sense, "Golden Age" and "Phoenix Terrace" are classic narratives, while "Seventeen Floors" is a non-classical narrative with attractive themes and visuals. It does not completely follow the narrative structure of inheritance, transformation, let alone "Three Mountains" , its authorial characteristics are too obvious, and its style of influence has transcended the structure of the narrative. It is a dream like a stream of consciousness.

Looking back, the scripts of "Raise the Red Lantern", "Rouge Button" and "On the Road" are typical classic narratives. Only the characters, backgrounds, and styles are different.

 The movies that he was able to write scripts on his own at this stage were all based on classic narrative stories.

 It’s not that classic narratives can be written because the threshold is low, but because classic narratives are classic enough that people with low level of skills can learn from them.

 Lu Yanhe was greatly hit.

He originally thought that he had some talent for writing scripts, but now it seems that he still only has a gold mine, so no matter how hard he works, all he gets out is gold.

 Liu Bige meets Lu Yanhe almost every day these days.

He could tell that Lu Yanhe had been feeling a little out of sorts these days, but he didn't know what was wrong with him.

However, every time we talked about "Late Spring", Liu Bige found that Lu Yanhe rarely expressed opinions.

 Before, Lu Yanhe was a person who often gave opinions.

 “Are you so satisfied with “Late Spring”?” Liu Bige asked.

“Huh?” Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment and looked at him at a loss.

Liu Bige said: "I see you don't have any opinions now. Didn't every discussion before bring some new ideas?"

“I don’t know if the ideas I mentioned are correct or not.” Lu Yanhe said, “Besides, the script itself is already very good.”

"There is no such thing as a script being very good. It will always get better with more changes." Liu Bige said, "Also, I would like to hear your opinions and thoughts on the script from an actor's perspective. , there are always different things to see from different perspectives.”

 Lu Yanhe was in a daze.

Liu Bige stretched out his hand in front of his eyes and waved.

 “Why are you in a daze?”

Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and said, "Oh, no, I'm not in a daze."

"what is that?"

"I...I was just wondering whether I have the ability to be a screenwriter." Lu Yanhe said.

 Liu Bige frowned slightly.

"Who told you that the script of "Six People" was not well written again?"

 Lu Yanhe: “Absolutely.”

 There is no way to explain his situation.

Liu Bige: "Don't worry about what those people say. Let me tell you, among other things, being able to write a complete script and still get the audience's love is already more than 99% of the people." Screenwriters, everyone has their own aesthetics and will be bound by their own prejudices. Don't worry about those voices. You will only know whether your writing is good or not after you write it. You will never know whether your writing is good or not until you write it. At least you will. It has been liked by some people, no, it is liked by many people, and this is the real proof.”

Lu Yanhe asked: "Is "Late Spring" your first time writing a script?"

"Yes." Liu Bige nodded, "There are also some people in the company who are asking me to arrange more kissing scenes in the script. Should I pay attention to them? They insist that it will be more romantic and the audience will like it. "Late Spring" was not a romantic story from the beginning, but when many people heard that the script was a story about several adolescent boys and girls, they immediately thought wrong. "

Lu Yanhe couldn’t laugh or cry after hearing this.

"Longyan is a company that's good in many places, but those who review scripts are quite annoying. A group of people who have never written a script and don't understand scripts will point at your script and say it's a stand-in for a while. From the perspective of the market, and later from the perspective of script creation, there are all kinds of opinions," Liu Bige said, "Sometimes I really want to say something to them, and if I have the ability, I can write a script myself. ”

“Sometimes I really envy you people who are very confident.”

"Sometimes I really don't understand. Where do you get your lack of confidence?" Liu Bige looked at Lu Yanhe speechlessly, "If you are the only one who is not confident, how can others still live?"

Lu Yanhe smiled, but had nothing to say.

 But having such an exchange with Liu Bige pulled him out of that state of self-doubt.

 There is nothing to doubt. The subsequent facts and results will always tell him whether his idea is right or wrong.

 As I said before, the worst case scenario is failure.

 Failure is failure.

He was lying on the gold mine, and all the gold sand slipped through his fingers. Even if he failed, he had the capital to make a comeback.

 Afraid of nothing.

-

 Still working overtime, sneak up and post it.
