Become Famous Another Day

Because they came back early, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan were not present at the closing ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival, but they were watching the live broadcast together.

With all the films participating in the main competition section being screened, it is basically revealed which films are in the first tier and which films are in the second tier.

"Late Spring" has a good reputation and good media response, but basically no one thinks it can win the award.

 Mainly because the depth and thickness of the movie itself is lower compared to other films.

"Late Spring" can receive such high praise mainly because its main creative staff are all newcomers. No matter where they are, newcomers are more tolerant and encouraged.

Until the awards ceremony started, Lu Yanhe didn’t receive any news, so he knew that the Best Actor award had nothing to do with him.

 The convention of international film festivals is that if you win an award, you will receive a call asking you to go back and attend the award ceremony.

After knowing that he really couldn't win the award, Lu Yanhe no longer had any thoughts and concentrated on watching the award ceremony.

The awards ceremony at the Venice International Film Festival does not have so many fancy things, it is really just an awards ceremony.

 Some speeches, some acceptance speeches.

Many of the winners were very excited.

 This is also a moment that Lu Yanhe likes to watch.

 It is often in moments like this that we can see things that reveal our true feelings.

However, some of the previous awards were not as good as "Late Spring".

This made Lu Yanhe’s expectations higher and higher.

 This means that the prize for "Late Spring" is definitely coming.

When he heard that the winner of the jury award was "Late Spring", Lu Yanhe instantly let out a cheer.

Chen Ziyan smiled happily.

 “Winning the grand prize, good!”

 Silver Lion Award, second only to the Golden Lion Award.

 In the live broadcast, Liu Bige and his actors hugged excitedly.

There were many people applauding at the scene.

After Liu Bige came on stage, holding the trophy, he was so excited that he didn’t know what to say for a long time.

Lu Yanhe had seen his gentleman side a lot in the past, and had rarely seen him lose control like this.

Sure enough, there is no truly calm and calm person in this world. All decentness is just because you have not yet encountered the arrow that really hits your destiny.

Now, this arrow shoots at Liu Bige.

-

 The news that "Late Spring" won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival immediately made headlines in various media.

At the same time, Chen Pinhe also regretted missing out on the Best Actor.

 Hand, who was very popular this year, still failed to compete with the British actor who was also very popular.

 "Late Spring" became the only Chinese-language film to win an award.

Entertainment critic Guan Suchen joked on Weibo: Lu Yanhe's momentum is unmatched. As long as he has participated in starring roles or supporting roles, there is no project that has not failed to explode. I am afraid that this kind of luck will not be achieved for a long time. I see the second actor copying Lu Yanhe’s performance this year. It’s only September, and there are two big hit TV series with local channel ratings exceeding 2 (both are still preparing to produce the second season, which is very likely to create a rare hit) series), two films that won awards at the four major international film festivals, one Best Director Award, and one Grand Jury Award. I can’t help but wonder what else Lu Yanhe can bring us in the fourth quarter. Such a surprise.

Another entertainment critic, Chen Luo, forwarded this Weibo post and said: Lu Yanhe’s fortune this year is really rare for actors in recent years. With "Late Spring" winning the award at the Venice International Film Festival, I think all twenty-year-old men will Actors' acting companies and agents have to face the fact that whether it is awards or the ability to handle the box office ("Three Mountains", a movie with a cost of only 17 million, sold more than 80 million), Lu Yanhe will become one of them. A mountain that cannot be avoided.

The speeches of several entertainment critics with millions of fans seemed to be vying to be the first, and suddenly Lu Yanhe was promoted to a very high status.

Lu Yanhe was a little confused when he saw it.

ha?

"Late Spring" won the award, but he did not win the award. Is it necessary to hold him in such a high position?

Lu Yanhe was horrified to see it.

Well, he must admit that he is still a coward, especially afraid of being praised and killed by others. In particular, his road to fame after traveling through time was almost like taking the road he was most afraid of overturning - a road that was both noble and honorable.

This made him reluctant but forced to embark on a path of "image perfection".

Lu Yanhe thought for a while, and quickly posted a Weibo message to congratulate "Late Spring" on winning the award, and then reviewed the filming of the film.

"Meeting Director Liu Bige was a complete accident. I was able to star in "Late Spring" thanks to my classmate Miao Yue. She is the original author of this story and the screenwriter of this film. Because of her, I I had the opportunity to meet Director Liu Bige, and was chosen by the director to join the creation of "Late Spring."

"Well, I'm a big star - that's what everyone said before joining this crew, but after the filming started, all the so-called stars, or other things, stayed on the set. Outside, this is the shooting atmosphere brought to me by the crew of "Late Spring".

"Director Liu Bige is a person who can give actors very much confidence. Although he is very young, he makes people very reassuring. I am worried that I will not be able to play this role well and that my so-called fame will affect the audience's perception of the film. , it was the first time for the other actors to act, and they were all unknown, even more uneasy and at a loss. He was like an umbrella above each of our heads, allowing us to be protected and encouraged. to build confidence in performing.”

“Performing requires a strong sense of belief. This sense of belief is not only that you believe that you are the character, but also that you believe that you can perform well. Liu Bige is such a director who can help you do all this.”

 This review by Lu Yanhe focuses entirely on Liu Bige.

Some fans laughed and said: Are you writing a love letter to the director?

 Lu Yanhe’s speech has no other purpose than to let more people know that this movie is Liu Bige’s movie, not Lu Yanhe’s movie.

"Look, Xiao Lu is such an actor." Luo Yuzhong put down his cell phone, smiled at the person sitting opposite him, and said, "I have worked with him before. He is really a very good kid. He is not the kind to do it for himself. A person who dares to market anything.”

Luo Yuzhong is chatting with Xie Dao.

 Xie Dao is also a director, and he is a director with more seniority than Luo Yuzhong. He is 70 years old this year and is the president of the TV Drama Directors Association.

Xie Dao smiled and pointed at Luo Yuzhong and said, "Others say that you always praise Lu Yanhe when meeting people. I thought others were exaggerating, but I didn't expect that you were the one exaggerating."

“Mr. , for us directors, he is the most coveted actor.”

Xie Dao asked with a smile: "Then why did you ask him to make a movie called "The Golden Age" and didn't make any other movies?"

Luo Yuzhong said: "If I look for him to film again, why should I give him a starring role? But in the scripts I have prepared, there is no male lead at his age. If I look for him for supporting roles, he will definitely come. Acting, but that’s so boring, why should I take advantage of a child?”

　　Xie Dao: “A good role is divided into a protagonist and a supporting role.”

Luo Yuzhong said: "Good roles do not distinguish between protagonists and supporting roles. You are right. In fact, I have not encountered a suitable and good role that can bring out his acting skills. Alas, unlike movies, TV series are such a large scale. If a twenty-year-old boy is the protagonist, unless it is a light-hearted comedy or genre drama like "Sixteenth Floor" or "Seventeenth Floor", generally in serious dramas, the male protagonist must be at least thirty years old. , What a pity. Director, if you have any difficult movie in the future that requires an actor of his age, you can definitely find him. Although I only filmed one movie with him, it didn’t take long. But I watched him grow up step by step, and I watched almost every one of his plays.”

　　Xie said: "Hey, I have never seen you appreciate a young man so much."

"After my kid finished filming, he always remembered me and respected me. He called me every year and during holidays, and asked people to send me things. It was a small thing, but this concern is precious." Luo Yuzhong said, "Especially this time In the past two years, you have watched him rise slowly, become more popular month by month, win awards, have record-breaking ratings, the media has all kinds of praise for him, everything, but his humble attitude has nothing to do with it. Young man, people are not only thinking about me, Chen Lingling and Wang Zhong are the same. I met Liu Zeliang two days ago, and he mentioned that Lu Yanhe has not lost contact with him since he finished filming "Golden Age" , not just for me, he is a kind-hearted child. "

　　Thanks: "I am a kind-hearted child who is thinking about you, ha!"

Luo Yuzhong: "Then you are kindhearted if you don't care about us?"

Xie Dao sneered and glared at Luo Yuzhong.

Luo Yuzhong laughed again, "So, you have to speak out and stop letting those people deliberately exclude him from the awards. Whether it is "Six People" or "Seventeenth Floor", his performance is remarkable. , it may be difficult to win an award, but based on the influence of the series and the difficulty of the performance of the character, he is fully qualified to be nominated. You see, even his performance in "Late Spring" was screened at the Venice International Film Festival this time He is regarded as a strong contender for Best Actor by many foreign media. This means that I am not bragging, right?"

Xie Dao said: "Sixteen" and "Seventeenth Floor" are indeed very popular, and they are also very influential, but the artistic height of these two dramas is not high. If he really didn't get the nomination, it may not be as you think. Said someone was deliberately squeezing him out.”

"If I hadn't really heard some rumors, why would I have come to see you?" Luo Yuzhong said, "I really regard Xiao Lu as my student. Putting this aside, our film and television industry has created such a It’s not easy for young people. If these two dramas are not of high artistic quality, then why is Li Yuefeng on the preliminary list? Don’t ask me how I saw the preliminary list. Anyway, this is what happened. The purpose of creating such an award is to avoid all influences and simply give a list of the best from the perspective of our directors. Unexpectedly, it has now become an award for everyone with their own selfish motives. "

What Luo Yuzhong said was the nomination list of this TV Drama Directors Association. "Six People" and "Seventeen Floor" are both major nominees.

 The TV Drama Directors Guild Award is not one of the three mainstream awards, but because it is an award voted for by directors, it is very valuable in the industry.

There is no need to register for the Television Drama Directors Guild Awards. As long as they meet the requirements, they will automatically be included in the awards.

This year's TV Drama Directors Guild Awards Ceremony will be broadcast live on CCTV and will be very influential. Luo Yuzhong only appeared here today because he heard some voices that should not have appeared in the decision-making of the nomination list.

 As the chairman of the Television Drama Directors Guild, his influence on this award is extraordinary.

Xie said: "A young man who is publicly praised by both you and that girl Lingling, whose voice is so effective that it can block his way?"

"I am standing on the moral high ground, but the artistic achievements of these two dramas are not high, and the characters are not three-dimensional." Luo Yuzhong sneered, "To put it bluntly, it is to clear the way for one's own people, especially the best supporting actor , Yan He also acted in "Phoenix Stage", but he was not included in the preliminary list, but Lang Kequn's son was included. What's the reason? Don't you have eyes? "

 Xie Dao’s expression became solemn.

“Mr. say.

-

Lu Yanhe didn’t even know that Director Luo Yuzhong was silently working hard for him.

He was dealing with an unexpected guest and thinking about how to deal with her.

 Zhang Lan came to see him again.

When he received Zhang Lan's call, Lu Yanhe originally wanted to refuse, but he directly said that he had already arrived at the school gate and was waiting to see him.

Lu Yanhe couldn't even push him away.

 Zhang Lan came here for the role of Tong Xiangyu in "Wulin Gaiden".

"The attitude of Northern Lights is unclear. It's been a long time since I encountered a scene that I actively wanted to fight for and was left out." Zhang Lan looked at Lu Yanhe and said, "Yan He, tell me the truth. Don’t you want me to act?”

 Lu Yanhe was stunned, "Huh?" At this moment, his acting skills were as if they were in a state of perfection, "How is that possible, Sister Lan?"

Zhang Lan looked at Lu Yanhe's expression and said, "Is it because of Jiang Yuqian's relationship that you don't want to cooperate with me?"

Lu Yanhe looked dumbfounded and helpless, and said, "Sister Lan, you are also an actor. Others say that we can influence many things, but you understand. Do you think I can really say 100% about the casting of a drama? Is it up to you?"

 Zhang Lan had a doubtful expression on his face and said, "But I heard that there are two roles in this drama that were decided by you."

"I didn't decide it, I recommended it. It was decided by Northern Lights. I don't have that much ability." Lu Yanhe said directly, "Actually, if you want to act in this matter, Northern Lights also came to communicate with me. "

 “Then what do you say?”

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Sister Lan, actually it doesn't matter what I say. Sister Ziyan said something that day. I think it makes sense, and it made me enlightened in an instant."

 Zhang Lan frowned and asked, "What did she say?"

Lu Yanhe said: "You and I are both from Star Entertainment. No video platform will let me serve as a producer and screenwriter at the same time, and at the same time find a super first-line actress like you to be the heroine. In this way The main creative structure will greatly restrict the video platform’s control over the drama.”

 Zhang Lan is not a fool. She has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she understands these things more or less.

She fell silent, and Lu Yanhe didn't know if she was convinced.

Zhang Lan asked: "Okay, I won't talk about the drama "Wulin Gaiden" anymore. Let me ask you, if I am interested in your subsequent dramas, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Of course I am willing, but, Sister Lan, the scripts I write are never about the main heroine, but mainly about group portraits. In fact, you can tell from "Six People" and "Wulin Gaiden", will you be willing to act? ?”

Zhang Lan said: "Wouldn't I take the initiative to fight for the role of Tong Xiangyu?"

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Zhang Lan: "Yan He, don't underestimate me and think that I'm just an arrogant, superficial actress who can't play anything other than a great heroine. I've been able to fight with your good sister Jiang Yuqian for so many years. If I don't have two brushes, I'll be a long time ago." She stepped on it."

Zhang Lan curled the corner of his mouth slightly, seeming to be sneering.

Lu Yanhe didn’t know how to answer such words for a moment.

"Okay, we really can't work together on "Wulin Gaiden", so let's see the opportunity next time." When Zhang Lan said this, his tone suddenly softened a little, and asked: "How is your health? I just saw you walking out. , The walking posture is a bit strange.”

“Recovering now, I hope I can rest as soon as possible.” Lu Yanhe smiled helplessly.

 Zhang Lan: "There is another thing. I also heard about it, so I want to tell you. I can't guarantee whether it's true or not."

Lu Yanhe looked at Zhang Lan doubtfully.

-

“Television Directors Guild Award?”

Chen Ziyan paused on the phone and said: "I know about this award. This award was established more than ten years ago. To say how influential it is, it is definitely not comparable to the three mainstream awards, but it is still quite popular in the industry. The most valuable thing is that it is the award chosen by all the directors of the association.”

Lu Yanhe said: "Zhang Lan told me that the preliminary nomination list for this award has come out and has not been officially announced yet, but my three plays are not on it."

 The three plays here refer to "Phoenix Stage", "Six People" and "Seventeenth Floor".

Chan Ziyan: “The TV Drama Directors Guild Awards do not require producers to register. As long as the dramas are officially broadcast on TV stations or video platforms, they are automatically included in the selection. The committee will then select the nomination list, and then all members will vote.”

 “Committee?”

"The committee of the Directors Guild is an organization responsible for all matters in the association. It is elected every five years." Chen Ziyan said, "I haven't heard any news about this matter. I have to go and find out. If it is true, then what about this matter?" The impact on you is big or small.”

When the Golden Tripod Awards were nominated before, Lu Yanhe's "Phoenix Stage" was not nominated for Best Supporting Actor. There were also claims that because he had already won this award the year before, he would not be nominated again without a big breakthrough. Although many People don't want to accept this statement, but there is still a reason for the so-so, and it's not that the nomination was lost inexplicably.

 But this time, none of the three dramas was nominated for a single acting award. Such a result will definitely arouse a lot of discussion.

Needless to say, just the attitude of the Directors Guild towards Lu Yanhe reflected behind this award will become a point for Lu Yanhe's black fans to attack him - no matter how much he is praised by the media, the directors do not recognize Lu Yanhe. of.

  Sometimes, as long as there is a reason, all kinds of slanders and doubts will follow.

Lu Yanhe has the Golden Tripod Award in hand and a Silver Lion Award trophy like "Late Spring", so his status will not be really shaken by this statement.

 But too many flies are still annoying, even disgusting.

-

Lu Yanhe originally thought that it would take some time for Chen Ziyan to find out the relevant news. Unexpectedly, after just over two hours, the news about Chen Ziyan was found out.

As soon as the phone call came through, Chen Ziyan said: "Yan He, we really need to remember what Director Luo Yuzhong has done for you."

Lu Yanhe suddenly heard this sentence and was confused. He had no idea what Chen Ziyan was talking about.

"ah?"

What does this have to do with director Luo Yuzhong?

Chen Ziyan said: "I have inquired about the matter clearly. What Zhang Lan told you should be true. In the past two days, Director Luo Yuzhong has been communicating with the committee members specifically about the fact that you are not included in the preliminary nomination list. After several attempts, I also asked the president of the association to thank me, and finally decided that starting from this session, the nomination list will also be voted on by all association members, which means that the previous preliminary list is invalid and we have to start over.”

Lu Yanhe was surprised.

“Has Director Luo done so many things?”

"Yes." Chen Ziyan said, "The key is that he has done so many things and he has never mentioned anything to you and me."

Luo Yuzhong did so many things out of his love for Lu Yanhe and his disdain for the behavior of some people. He had no other selfish motives, and it was not because Lu Yanhe remembered his love.

 But now that Lu Yanhe knew about it, he wanted to write it down no matter what.

 Chen Ziyan sneered again, "If Director Luo hadn't pushed this matter to change, according to the original list, Lang Xia was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but you were not, it would be really ridiculous."

The character Lang Xia was indeed quite popular when the drama aired, but in terms of acting skills and reputation, from the time it aired to the end, it was far inferior to the bodyguard played by Lu Yanhe.

Especially the scene where Lu Yanhe's character is offline, it is one of the most watched and popular scenes in the whole drama.

Lu Yanhe was too embarrassed to praise himself for being a better actor than Lang Xia, so he didn't answer.

After listening to Chen Ziyan's complaints, Lu Yanhe was about to hang up. Chen Ziyan added: "There is also good news. Jiang Zixin from Northern Lights Video just contacted me. It's probably because of the award for "Late Spring". Your vision will be better." Once gilded, Northern Lights agreed to build Tongfu Inn in Jiangzhi."

Lu Yanhe felt a surge of excitement from deep within his heart at this moment.

 “Really? That’s great!”

Chen Ziyan said: "Go and report the good news to your brother He."

 Chen Ziyan’s voice also revealed joy.

 She does not simply want to help Jiangzhi be known to more people like Lu Yanhe.

Chen Ziyan feels that if it can really promote the economic growth of Jiangzhi and turn it from a poor small place into a popular tourist attraction, then Lu Yanhe's golden status will be more stable.

 Even, this is linked to helping local areas get rid of poverty.

From "City Travels" to "Wulin Gaiden", if Jiang Zhi really became popular, wouldn't Lu Yanhe just use his own power to do such a great thing?

 Chen Ziyan’s ideas are very utilitarian. Of course, she never thinks there is anything wrong with having utilitarian ideas.

  She did not harm the interests of others, she just hoped that everything would be profitable.

 This is good.

 On September 12, "Late Spring" suddenly announced that it would be scheduled for November, the National Day holiday.

It seems like a very irrational move for a youth literary film to compete with a lot of blockbusters in such a schedule, but it still chooses this schedule, for no other reason than to take advantage of the Venice International Film Festival. Everyone still remembers this film When a movie wins an award, choose a good time slot and let it wait for you in the cinema.

 At this time, the distribution and publicity capabilities of Longyan Pictures, a large company, became prominent.

Although it is scheduled to be released on November 1st, "Late Spring" will be screened on a small scale starting from September 20th.

　　During the period before the National Day, no new films entered the market, only old films and low-cost new films entered the market. "Late Spring" relied on point screenings and could get about 5%-7% of the film schedule of the day every day.

Liu Bige started a road show with a group of actors.

 Longyan Pictures spent tens of millions of promotional funds on this film that cost only a few million. Because it won the award, its box office target also jumped to tens of millions.

 On the one hand, it is a road show, and on the other hand, it is a launch in sinking channels.

Longyan Pictures edited some of the materials from "Late Spring" into short video materials of about ten seconds, and pushed them into the short video market for large-scale marketing.

 Finally, it’s about giving full play to Lu Yanhe’s star role.

Due to his physical condition, he only participated in one of Yuming's road shows, and all subsequent publicity tasks were interview-based.

Furthermore, Long Yan also directly approached Chen Siqi and asked "Jump Up" to tailor a promotional package for "Late Spring".

 A total of two million worth of publicity funds were given to Chen Siqi's "Jump Up".

Lu Yanhe was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect Long Yan to be so generous.

And Chen Siqi lived up to expectations and did not just take money and do nothing.

 She created a publicity that attracted the attention of the industry. (End of chapter)
