Become Famous Another Day

Chapter 371: Venice International Film Festival Main Competition!

In the crew of "River of Silence", there are also many people who are following "Seventeenth Floor".

 The main reason is that "Seventeenth Floor" is broadcast weekly. Even if they are filming another drama, they can still catch up on this drama during their busy schedule.

As the plot unfolds, the genius played by Lu Yanhe and the female gangster played by Chen Bige gradually become tacit and cooperate with each other, leading everyone through dangerous levels again and again.

 There is obviously no description of love between the two of them, but there are gradually more and more CP fans about them on the Internet.

 Any film or television drama is actually like this.

 Any set of character relationships may have some weird sparks that are considered cliché by the audience.

  Many times, even the director and screenwriter did not even think about this direction when shaping the relationship between the characters. However, as soon as the play was aired, it received a response far beyond their expectations.

Of course not "Seventeenth Floor".

Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige, as the male and female protagonists, are the most critical pair of characters in this drama. Even if they are not a couple, they still have a lot of rivalry scenes.

 During this process, many chemical reactions will naturally occur.

  This is what the audience calls the sense of CP.

 At the beginning of the play, Lu Yanhe was a bit unsociable due to his genius disease and was unable to integrate into their group. At this time, it was Chen Bige who took more care of him. Later, Chen Bige was in danger, and everyone else was ready to give up on her, but he was the one who stubbornly insisted on saving her. In the play, there is a big age difference between the two people, and the fight was not shot in an ambiguous direction at all. To a certain extent, Teacher Feng Qiyue wrote the relationship between the two characters in the direction of "mutual redemption" .

 This point was also revealed in the ninth episode, when the past of the two was revealed in memory flashbacks, reaching an emotional high point.

-

 Most of the staff of "River of Silence" are old people who have followed Chen Lingling in several dramas.

 They know very well how a play is made.

Even so, when they watched "Seventeen Floors", they were still easily moved by the plot.

 What surprised them the most was Lu Yanhe's performance in "Seventeen Floors".

Different from many other characters in the play, the character Lu Yanhe does not have any explosive, so-called highlight scenes.

 His emotions are completely reserved and barely exposed. It seems that his role is not difficult to play - of course, he left a deep impression on the audience, but without knowing the details, the audience can easily think that this is because the character himself is the protagonist, not because of Lu Yanhe's Acting. However, those who really understand drama will know that the reason why the character of Lu Yanhe is so impressive is because he used a lot of skills to create such a genius who is different from ordinary people, instead of playing a multi-faceted character with particularly ups and downs of emotions. sexual, complex characters.

-

"It is said that actors need to find rich and complex characters to play. It seems that only in this way can they show how superb an actor's acting skills are. In fact, this time "Seventeen Floors" also tells everyone that a character's image, A facial-like character performed to the extreme is equally successful and impressive.”

 "TV Review" once again praised Lu Yanhe's performance in a review article about "Seventeenth Floor".

"We don't want drama for drama's sake, nor characters for characters' sake. We have to accept that sometimes, a person just doesn't have so many faces. Whether a character can be deeply rooted in people's hearts, the key is still how the actor is. The character’s state is still being acted out.”

"It is said that it was difficult for Lu Yanhe to find an entry point when he first acted in this drama, because this type of role is not uncommon, and he was worried that his performance would be no different from others. It can be said that if Lu Yanhe has been struggling with this If not, then he will fall into self-doubt and denial like many actors who have the same pursuit, and at least give a bad performance in this drama and this role. However, for such a talented actor, when encountering... After seeing the problem, he immediately chose to give up his pursuit and chose to imitate as the second best option to ensure the effect of the character. "

"We have all seen many ambitious and talented actors pondering a role. They will not give up until they achieve their goals, and they will not survive until they are crazy. However, it seems difficult for us to see such an actor because we have not found one yet. It’s a good way, so I just decided to imitate it and admit it openly.”

"Of course, now we have all seen that Lu Yanhe's performance in "Seventeen Floors" is still very good. He found a way of interpretation that belongs to him in the imitation of Lu Yanhe, which once again proved his talent in acting. "

 …

  The review article "TV Review" praises Lu Yanhe, taking up a quarter of the article.

 However, this article also directly pointed out that the possibility of Lu Yanhe winning an award in the drama "Seventeen Floors" is not high.

"The most promising award for Lu Yanhe for "Seventeenth Floor" is the Golden Cauldron Award. As we all know, the Golden Cauldron Award pays more attention to audience reputation, while the Blue Ribbon favors artistry, and the Red River Award favors the main theme. "Seventeenth Floor" is basically the same in terms of subject matter. It can be said that the Golden Cauldron Award was already awarded in July. "Seventeen Floor", which had just launched at that time, did not meet the application requirements. "Seventeen Floor" wanted to compete for the Golden Cauldron Award. We have to wait until July next year. After a year, the current popularity of "Seventeenth Floor" basically cannot protect this drama, and "Seventeenth Floor" is another group drama, Although Lu Yanhe's performance is good, compared with other male protagonists, his role and space for performance are still a little less, and the space for character performance is also limited. "

"Compared to "Seventeenth Floor", I am more optimistic that "Silent River" will bring Lu Yanhe his first best actor trophy."

 …

 No actor can avoid "winning awards".

 Which actor doesn’t want to win an award?

Lu Yanhe is very honest, he really wants to get it.

Since acting, the only award he has won so far is the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor.

 In fact, the importance of this award to Lu Yanhe has become obvious in the past year.

Because of this award, Lu Yanhe can be called a "genius" without being ridiculed for "bragging". Also because of this award, Lu Yanhe is now a young actor representative highly praised by the mainstream in the film and television industry, including mainstream publications such as "TV Review" The magazine, including the magazine, will protect him with a personal attitude.

 For actors, awards are simply the word "high".

 This represents the recognition of you by the industry.

Lu Yanhe has always said that he is not in a hurry to win awards, and it is also because he won the Golden Tripod Award at a young age. This is enough for him to lie down for a few years, even until he is thirty years old. Only with this confidence can he not be in a hurry.

 But if there was a real hope of winning the prize, of course he would.

Who would think that he had won the prize too early?

-

On this day, at the filming site of "River of Silence", Lu Yanhe finished filming a scene and went to eat a box lunch under the director's tent.

Chen Lingling held a box lunch and ate with him, and suddenly mentioned the matter of winning the prize.

"Xiao Lu, I see that many people on the Internet are talking about which movie you can rely on to win the best actor." Chen Lingling said, "Many people say that "River of Silence" may win you the first one." What do you think about the Best Actor trophy?”

Lu Yanhe admitted generously and said, "It would be great if I could win a prize."

 Chen Lingling smiled when she saw Lu Yanhe admitting it like this, and said, "However, I have to tell you in advance that "River of Silence" may not meet the application conditions for our domestic awards."

 “Huh?” Lu Yanhe was stunned and didn’t understand why.

 Chen Lingling said: "The producer of our drama is Maxine, and the main production company is an overseas company. Although it should be broadcast domestically in the future, this does not meet the application conditions for several major domestic awards."

 Lu Yanhe reacted.

The crew of "River of Silence" is basically Chen Lingling's own team. It is rare to see people from Maxine on set. Lu Yanhe even forgot that the investor and producer of this drama are both American streaming media companies. Chen Lingling's team is just I am just the photographer responsible for the production of this work.

 In this way, "Silent River" indeed does not meet the application conditions for domestic awards.

"It's okay." Lu Yanhe smiled and shook his head, "Of course it's a good thing to have the hope of winning an award. It's okay if you can't win an award. I didn't accept this drama just to win an award."

 Chen Lingling nodded.

 “As long as you are clear in your heart.”

She smiled again and said, "Of course, if our show does well on Maxine, maybe you can compete for overseas awards."

 Chen Lingling's words made Lu Yanhe subconsciously shake his head and laugh.

 This is difficult.

This is not for any other reason, it is simply that although "Silent River" is a drama invested and produced by Maxine, it is still a Chinese drama, not an English drama. Moreover, the starring cast is all Chinese. It is very difficult for this kind of drama to be loved by audiences all over the world.

  And if it does not gain enough influence, it is basically impossible to get the attention of mainstream awards.

 Lu Yanhe: “Director, I’m really not that obsessed with awards.”

 Chen Lingling is a little concerned.

At the just-concluded Golden Tripod Awards for "Phoenix TV", although it received no results, it received a lot of nominations, except for Lu Yanhe's nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

 Originally, in everyone’s impression, this was a certainty.

After Chen Lingling inquired privately, she found out that Lu Yanhe's performance in "Phoenix Stage" was remarkable, but because the character he played lacked character, he was a bit biased towards ancient puppet-style **** play, which made the judges feel that such a character The character didn't deserve another nomination right away for Lu Yanhe, so he wasn't included.

Lu Yanhe previously won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor for "The Golden Age", which has also become an obstacle for him to continue to win awards in the past two years.

This is of course understandable, but Chen Lingling herself feels a little pity.

 And the drama "Silent River" will most likely not be able to compete for domestic mainstream awards due to issues with investors and producers.

-

Of course this matter cannot be hidden from the Internet masters who can dig out anything.

When many people were expecting the drama "Silent River" to help Lu Yanhe win the best actor award, someone immediately pointed out this point.

 “River of Silence” is not eligible for domestic awards.    For a time, many people felt sorry for this.

It will be difficult for Lu Yanhe to win mainstream awards in the next one to two years.

-

“It’s a pity that ‘River of Silence’ cannot win the award for Yan He.” Even Lu Qingzhen couldn’t help but lamented to Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan: “Qingzhen, do you also feel it’s a pity?”

 “Yeah.” Lu Qingzhen nodded.

 “That’s great.” Chen Ziyan smiled sweetly.

"good?"

"Do you think, if Yan He's performance in "River of Silence" is really good enough to win an award, do you have a good chance of winning it?" Chen Ziyan asked directly.

Lu Qingzhen was slightly startled.

“In other words, in the past twenty years, have any actors under the age of thirty won the Best Actor award in the three TV drama awards?” Chen Ziyan asked.

Lu Qingzhen thought for a while and shook her head, "No."

"So, even if Yan He's performance in "River of Silence" is very good, there is a high probability that this award will not be given to him because of his age. In our domestic awards, we still look at seniority and age, especially The more popular actors are, the harder it will be to win awards. After all, the mainstream awards in China are basically based on a jury system. Only seven or eight people decide who will win the award. The more this happens, the harder it is to break through the rules. A miracle happened. Now "Seventeen Floors" and "River of Silence" have created a public opinion atmosphere that it would be a pity not to win the award for Yan He. If this kind of public opinion atmosphere accumulates, it will become Yan He's challenge in the future. Chen Ziyan said, "For Yan He at this stage, his acting skills are far from superb, and he is far from the stage of becoming a god. To be able to have such a sense of expectation and evaluation, just If the trend is this way, it’s already a great honor.”

Lu Qingzhen nodded.

 “If you say that, I understand.”

Chen Ziyan: "The main reason is that I didn't expect that everyone's expectations for Yan He have reached the point where he will definitely win awards as long as he acts in a suitable drama. Yan He's popularity with the audience and passers-by always seems to exceed my expectations. "Every time I go up a point, the results tell me that I'm still underestimating it."

Lu Qingzhen showed a dumbfounded expression.

"When "Seventeen Floors" aired, Yan He's blood was comparable to the thickest people in the country." Lu Qingzhen said directly, "To be honest, actors rely on roles to make a living, and one role can last a lifetime. , I don’t know if Yan He can last a lifetime in these dramas, but it will definitely be enough in the past few years. The character filters in these dramas are enough for Lu Yanhe to last for several years just for the role in "Golden Age". , the popularity on the Internet is not low now. When many marketing accounts talk about the characters of young boys and best boyfriends, they will still use Yan He's role in "The Golden Age" as an example, which is enough to see everyone's interest in this character. What a filter the character has.”

 Chen Ziyan: "After "River of Silence" is aired, Yan He will be given a role filter again. The role he played is so miserable, so miserable that it makes people feel distressed."

At this time, Chen Ziyan’s cell phone rang.

“Sister Ziyan, Liu Bige called me just now and said that "Late Spring" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival."

"Ah -" Chen Ziyan, who just said, "Every time I improve one point, the results will tell me that I still underestimated" exclaimed, startling Lu Qingzhen who was sitting opposite her. .

 “Has the news been announced?”

“It will be announced soon.” Lu Yanhe said, “Liu Bige also just received the news. He was not sure whether it was the main competition unit before.”

 Chen Ziyan felt like she was hit in the heart by happiness at this moment.

When Lu Yanhe was going to star in "Late Spring", Chen Ziyan really didn't dare to think about what such a low-cost literary film could bring to Lu Yanhe.

 Hang up the phone, the smile on Chen Ziyan’s face was so bright that even Lu Qingzhen was surprised.

 “What good news makes you so excited?”

Chen Ziyan said: "Yan He's "Late Spring" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival."

Lu Qingzhen looked surprised.

"Really? So awesome, I...fuck, Yan He is so lucky." Lu Qingzhen didn't know what to say. "As soon as this news comes out, it will probably explode again. I still remember the original movie When the news about the movie came out, how many people were laughing at Lu Yanhe for accepting a small, low-cost movie because he wanted to play the leading role in the movie. There were many negative voices at that time. "

"I never thought that "Late Spring" would be shortlisted for the main competition in Venice." Chen Ziyan said, "When Yan He said he wanted to star in this movie, I also said, don't put too much hope in this movie. Dark horses are not so easy to risk. After coming out, I realized now that I was also being slapped in the face.”

Lu Qingzhen: “Is this the first film directed by Liu Bige?

"Yes." Chen Ziyan said, "Generally speaking, the first feature film of a newcomer will not directly enter the main competition section. It will start from the horizon section or other sections. This is the virtue of the four major film festivals. ”

"Liu Bigo has a background in the French film industry, and maybe there are people behind it." Lu Qingzhen said, "The selection of films in the main competition section is not based on whichever film has higher quality. Many people who don't know the film festival will think so. Actually that’s not the case, don’t you know the situation?”

"I know that the selection of films in the main competition section will take into account factors such as the director's popularity, the influence of the main creative staff, the continent and country, etc. It does not mean that the films selected in the main competition section are better than the films selected in other sections. However, we must admit that under the current system, the main competition unit is the face and cornerstone of a film festival, and being selected for the main competition and not being selected are two different things."

Lu Qingzhen: "I know. What I mean is that although Liu Bigo is a new director, he has a background in the French film industry. It is not too outrageous that his first film was shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival. The most important thing is that Lu Yanhe is really lucky. Not to mention his strength and talent, how can anyone be as lucky as him? He wins every project he chooses and never fails to film. In March this year, "Three Mountains" made him famous. He made a splash at the Citul Film Festival, and now he’s in Venice. I think he will become a regular at international film festivals in the future.”

Chen Ziyan: "Thank you for your good words, I hope so too."

She suddenly thought of something and smiled, "My original plan for him to be in college for four years was to guest star in more big-production and big-directed movies. Through these four years, he would first brush up his resume and make it more beautiful. I tried my best to attack after graduation, but unexpectedly, my plan couldn’t keep up with the changes.”

“You are such an awesome actor, the son of destiny.” Lu Qingzhen said with a smile.

-

Just as Lu Qingzhen said, when the news came out that the movie "Late Spring" starring Lu Yanhe was shortlisted for the main competition unit of this Venice International Film Festival, it was like a bomb that shook the entire entertainment industry.

Everyone is still impressed by this movie starring Lu Yanhe.

He joined the crew in March. At that time, many people used this opportunity to laugh at Lu Yanhe, not understanding why Lu Yanhe would act in such a low-budget art film when "Party of Six" became a big hit. What's more, they directly ridiculed Lu Yanhe. Lu Yanhe lowered his status to act in such a new work in order to enter the film industry and play the leading role in a movie.

 Among them, some of Lu Yanhe’s fans also didn’t understand. They went to Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe’s Weibo to express their dissatisfaction and hoped that they would give up the filming plan.

At that time, these turmoil caused a storm in the city.

As a result, within a few months, the film has been shortlisted for the main competition of the Venice International Film Festival.

-

As soon as the news came out, Lu Yanhe received congratulations from the crew of "River of Silence".

 Lu Yanhe said thank you countless times.

 Huang Cheng also specially ordered a large bouquet of flowers for him and gave them to him in front of the whole crew, with a small card of congratulations written on them.

Lu Yanhe was flattered and embarrassed, and said, "Mr. Huang, I'm just a finalist, why did you give me such a big bouquet of flowers?"

"It's already amazing to be shortlisted. We only have two Chinese-language films shortlisted for the main competition this year, and "Late Spring" starring you is one of them. This is something that all of us should be proud of." Huang Cheng said, "To When the time comes, bring us a trophy and we will celebrate your success.”

Lu Yanhe couldn’t laugh or cry, and said, “I may not be able to go there now that I am so immobile.”

Huang Cheng asked in surprise, "Is your condition still not recovering well by September?"

"It's hard to say. It's still a bit strenuous for me to walk now. It's okay to take a few steps. If I take a few more steps, I'll pull the wound and it will be very painful." Lu Yanhe was also a little helpless.

 He also told Liu Bige about this situation.

Logically speaking, as the star of "Late Spring", especially the only big star, he must of course accompany the crew.

 But Lu Yanhe’s current situation is quite special.

Liu Bige said instead: "If you have difficulty moving by then, I will find someone to carry you over."

This of course can only be a joke.

Huang Cheng said: "The filming of our drama will definitely be postponed, and we won't be able to finish filming for the time being."

Hearing this, Lu Yanhe showed a regretful expression and asked, "What should I do? I, I will start school soon in September, and I still have a lot of classes this month."

Huang Cheng said: "We are already looking for scenes in Yuming. During this period, we will work harder to prioritize filming your scenes here. When the time comes, we will move to Yuming to film the scenes that can be filmed in Yuming. Wait. You don’t have to shoot during class time. If you really can’t finish it, you can only make up for it later.”

“Is this a big burden for you?” Lu Yanhe asked.

Huang Cheng: "In the event of such an accident, we can only try our best to remedy the situation. We have also communicated with Maxine about the situation. They sent people over to specifically evaluate the matter and evaluate our previous shooting and editing. The material is still satisfactory, and thanks to you, "Silent River" has become very popular in China during this period. Many platforms are competing for the copyright, which makes them attach great importance to this drama, so I will watch it again. The additional funds for reshooting are considered a blessing among misfortunes.”

 “That’s good.” Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

 He really didn’t want to affect the filming of this drama.

Huang Cheng: "Maxine was surprised by the strength of your appeal in our country. They discovered during their investigation and evaluation that your appeal in the country was even stronger than the information they had received before. Ask Why? I said it’s because your momentum has been very strong in the past two years. Every few months, your appeal and influence will increase a lot. They were stunned for a while when they heard it, and they were impressed by the speed of your rise. I was extremely surprised and said that even in the United States, I have never seen an actor like you who has had several dramas in a row."

"They are very interested in you, and maybe they will contact you after a while." Huang Cheng said, "Although they cannot officially enter our mainland market, they have always been interested in the development of Chinese-language dramas. I am also very interested in working with top and first-line Chinese actors.”

 Lu Yanhe said: "I met their people once before, and the feeling of that meeting was not very good." (End of Chapter)
