Become Famous Another Day

Chapter 453: new finalists

 In fact, when the other artist teams of "Young Days" received the new plan from the program team, they all felt that it was not very good.

The program team arranged the promotion of "Rouge Button" inside, and it was not inserted in the form of hard advertising - this would be more normal. However, "Rouge Button" should be used as an important key clue and included in the design of the program, so that everyone can Discovering this topic "spontaneously" is nonsense.

However, because this was a favor given to Lu Yanhe by the program team, other artist teams hesitated for a while, but unanimously did not express any objection.

Lu Yanhe is now at the height of his popularity. Not only is he popular, but he has now become a screenwriter, director, and producer. With a production company, he has begun to enter the capital level. They all know that their artists may need to get resources from Lu Yanhe in the future.

Except for Yoo Ji-yin who takes the pure idol route, and Peng Zhixing who takes the pure host route, everyone else is more or less acting.

Of course, putting aside these practical interests, given the relationship between their own artists and Lu Yanhe, they are definitely not willing to raise objections over such a trivial matter.

In Lu Yanhe's movie "On the Road", two-thirds of the actors in "Young Days" had guest appearances.

One can imagine the relationship between them.

No one expected that Lu Yanhe would take the initiative to stop this plan.

Li Zhenzhen said: "Is our planning too bad?"

She is also very direct.

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "You guys helped me change the plan temporarily, and you also want to help me promote the new movie. It's not easy to change the plan temporarily. I just don't want to affect the success of our program just because of the promotion of "Rouge Button". Positioning in the minds of the audience. The main positioning of our program is to observe the way we get along with each other, isn’t it?”

Different from ordinary slow variety shows, the main keywords of "Young Days" are "cohabitation" and "social interaction".

Li Zhenzhen said: "Yes, let's change it again."

Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Zhenzhen, actually I have an idea."

"Ideas?" Li Zhenzhen was surprised and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

You know, the idea proposed by Lu Yanhe of working to earn living necessities is still used in the program to this day.

Li Zhenzhen attaches great importance to Lu Yanhe's ideas about variety shows.

Lu Yanhe said: "We had a lot of people in the first episode. There were eight artists in our show. In addition to me and Yan Liang, there were four other people in "Six People", a total of twelve. It should be rare to have so many artists in one episode." Right?"

"It is almost one of the shows with the most guests in the history of variety shows." Li Zhenzhen said, "Because it is the first episode of the fourth season, we also want to make a good start."

To put it simply, it is to play the star number card to make the first episode of the fourth season extremely popular and attract everyone.

Lu Yanhe's idea is actually very simple.

He said: “Based on the original planning of the first phase, each of us will be given a secret mission. This secret mission is related to other people’s wishes. Regarding this wish, you can learn from our previous interviews, online speeches and other channels. If you really can’t find it, ask our fans. In short, the first issue can be about helping each other realize a wish.”

Li Zhenzhen frowned subconsciously, because he didn't quite understand the purpose of doing this. Was it just to create some tender moments?

Lu Yanhe said: "At the end of this program, we will add a section where everyone sits together and chats. We don't talk about anything else, but why we had such a wish at that time, because behind every wish is a story."

Hearing this, Li Zhenzhen's eyes lit up instantly.

If she hadn't understood what Lu Yanhe meant after hearing this, her years in the variety show industry would have been in vain.

Li Zhenzhen screamed in surprise on the other end of the phone.

"Wow—Lu Yanhe, your idea is great!"

Behind every wish, there is a story.

Behind every story is the true side of a star artist behind the camera.

This idea focuses on "revealing the secrets of artists" and is consistent with the theme of "observation" of the program. Through this link, each other's attitudes and reactions, and in such in-depth exchanges, will have the possibility of further interaction.

Li Zhenzhen took a deep breath.

I'm going to write a program plan right away.

"Yan He, your name must be included in the planning of this program." Li Zhenzhen said, "You are really awesome. You have so many ideas, why not come and be our consultant!"

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "I am very tired and overwhelmed. Sister Zhenzhen, without me, your plans will still be welcomed by everyone."

"But every time you come up with an idea, it is a new model that can continue to be used." Li Zhenzhen said, "It is also a new model created by "Young Days"."

Lu Yanhe is such a person. No matter what job he does, he will do his best to make the job better.

He also had a deeper feeling after experiencing so many things. Be a person who has many friends and be a person who can help your friends. Only in this way, when you need friends and help, can you confidently summon a group of people to help you do what you want to do. matter.

This time he was filming "Love Letter". Without everyone's help, he would not have been able to make this movie at all. They say he is a director, but in fact he is a person who keeps making demands. He needs to go through others to realize these requirements one by one. Without the help of Luo Yuzhong, Xin Zixin and Liu Bige, he might not even be able to start the movie.

The program "Young Days" was one of the first jobs that Lu Yanhe came into contact with after the college entrance examination. It is not easy for it to continue to this day. Especially the guests on this show, many of them have become famous and are no longer the unknown newcomers they were before. Everyone's schedule is very tight, and everyone's market price has also experienced a substantial increase. For this show, it is of course impossible to say that everyone’s salary will be increased based on market prices. This is not something that a show can afford, and even the most popular show cannot afford it.

Why do so many popular programs change a group of people as they are being recorded? The contradiction between rising remuneration and affordability of the program is a big reason. Therefore, when everyone is popular and the remuneration remains high, the only option is to change the cast and bring in some very cheap newcomers. In this way, even if the popularity of the show may be lower, overall, the production cost will be much lower.

And "Young Days" can still be produced with the original cast and crew because everyone has reduced their salaries so that the show can continue.

The nature of the program "Young Days" is destined to make it difficult to become a national-level variety show. It does not cover all age groups, and there is a ceiling in terms of program audience and profitability. Everyone has reduced their salaries, so the pressure on the program team is much less, and the staff of the program team can also receive more generous bonuses.

When "Young Days" officially announced that Lu Yanhe would return to record this season, his fans were shocked.

God knows how long it has been since they saw Lu Yanhe on the show.

In the past six months, Lu Yanhe has basically only appeared in some business activities, film festivals and film sets. It is difficult for any program to invite him.

Others say that after Lu Yanhe was promoted to a celebrity at the film festival, he began to cherish his feathers and stopped participating in program recordings.

Lu Yanhe specially cooperated with the director team and recorded a VCR, saying: "I originally thought that I would not be able to participate in this season. I had already asked for leave from the director team before. Unexpectedly, the filming of the summer part of "Love Letter" went smoothly and has ended. No It coincides with the recording of "Young Days", so I'm back!"

"Young Days" forwarded: Welcome home!

Who knows, under this Weibo, many fans are actually asking:

—Why do you continue to participate in programs like "Young Days"? It doesn't deserve you anymore.

—If you have this time, why not pick up one more movie? You haven't won Best Actor yet.

—Are you someone who wants to be an artist? Why do you still want to be a variety show star?

These comments were truly unexpected by Lu Yanhe.

Chen Ziyan said: "There is no need to reply. Many fans always hope that their idols are gods, hanging high in the sky. It is best not to come down to earth and not get involved in the spring water."

Lu Yanhe said: "I didn't expect that they would have such a big prejudice."

"It can't be said to be prejudice. It's just that people always like gods to maintain the image of gods, and don't have emotions and desires like humans." Chen Ziyan said, "Now your entire image is associated with the high-end international film festival. Then Fans who like your high-level personality naturally hope that you can maintain this high-level personality and widen the gap between you and other celebrities. In fact, there were some celebrity artists in the past. This is the high-quality route. If the popularity is not high enough, the thickness of the works is not high, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the people are high-quality. After such a public impression is formed, there will naturally be people willing to pay for this high-quality public impression. ”

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, "So what fans like about celebrities is the plan to create gods."

"It's not just the fans' love for celebrities, the agency also has a plan to create gods for artists." Chen Ziyan said, "Ordinary people have no one to worship, and no one is willing to pay for ordinary people." Lu Yanhe: "It's really cruel."

Chen Ziyan: "For this group of fans, there is no need to give any explanation. No matter what explanation you make, they will not listen. They don't even like you, but the high-quality you. Once one day your high-quality is gone. , they also lost their fans.”

Lu Yanhe nodded.

However, the news that Lu Yanhe announced his return for the fourth season of "Young Days" made other program teams ready to make moves.

Is Lu Yanhe willing to come out and record a show again?

Major TV stations and program production teams began to contact Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan thought about it carefully and decided to give Lu Yanhe a show in September to promote "Rouge Button".

Others were turned down due to schedule.

However, this does not affect everyone's enthusiasm at all. Many programs even stated that the recording time can be adjusted to suit Lu Yanhe's time.

-

At this time, Lu Yanhe suddenly received a call.

It was a call from Director Fu Kai.

"Yan He, I have good news for you."

"Huh? What's the good news, director?" Lu Yanhe already had an idea in his mind.

Fu Kai said: "'Path of Glory' was shortlisted for the Horizon section of the Venice International Film Festival."

"Wow! That's great, congratulations!" Lu Yanhe cheered in surprise.

Fu Kai: "I originally wanted to see if I could be shortlisted for the main competition unit, but in the end I was adjusted to the horizon unit, and I accepted it."

Lu Yanhe said: "It's already great."

The movie "Path of Glory" has a unique Eastern cultural background and is such a subject. It is the most favored subject of the film festival. However, Director Fu Kai is not a frequent visitor to film festivals, is not well-known internationally, and is not a conventional art film director. Generally speaking, it is very difficult for this film to be shortlisted for the main competition.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe feels that it is very rare for it to be shortlisted for the Horizon Unit.

Fu Kai asked: "The Venice International Film Festival opens at the end of August. Do you have time to go with us?"

"There should be no problem at the end of August. I'll talk to Sister Ziyan later and save time." Lu Yanhe said.

Fu Kai smiled and said, "That's great. If you don't participate in this movie at the Venice International Film Festival, the starlight will be dimmed by half."

Lu Yanhe quickly said: "No, even if I don't go, my senior brother can still support the stardom of our movie."

This movie starring Lu Yanhe and Shang Yongzhou is an out-and-out literary film. It's more literary and artistic than "Three Mountains". It can be said that "Three Mountains" at least adds a lot of traditional Chinese legends of monsters and some bizarre scenes into the movie. There are many scenes full of pictures and visual impact.

"Path of Glory" is completely a movie about people, life, and such grand themes as life.

Lu Yanhe was not surprised at all that this film was shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival.

Its theme is simply tailor-made for an international film festival. The only difference is which film festival you will go to in the end. This film stars Lu Yanhe and Shang Yongzhou. In addition to the main competition, major film festivals will definitely welcome this film, taking into account the selection ratio of each country.

The official announcement was made two days later.

The Venice International Film Festival officially announced the news.

In addition to "Path of Glory", director Yu Qin's new film "Happy Days" has also been shortlisted for the main competition unit of this Venice International Film Festival.

Because two Chinese-language films were shortlisted for the competition, all major media reported on it.

Yu Qin's "Happy Time" has been ten years since her last work.

She is one of the most famous female directors in the country. Her output is not high, but she is very famous.

She is also a frequent visitor to international film festivals.

After disappearing for a long time, she suddenly appeared in a new work without any fanfare, attracting a lot of attention and discussion. Even the film-related media discussed her work more than Shang Yongzhou and Lu Yanhe. Starring in "Path of Glory".

Of course, "Path of Glory", which the two of them collaborated on this time, is still very popular on the entire Internet.

Needless to say, Lu Yanhe. Shang Yongzhou finally returned to the film festival with his work after several years.

His output is very low. In recent years, he has mainly produced commercial films such as "Carpe Diem" and "Come on, Big Star". Naturally, he has not taken his works to film festivals for a long time.

Shang Yongzhou is far higher than Lu Yanhe in terms of status, popularity and number of fans. After all, Lu Yanhe still lacks foundation and accumulation.

This time he returned to the film festival with a new film, and fans were almost beating gongs and drums to express their excitement.

For those who follow Lu Yanhe, the reaction to this news is almost the same -

He has been shortlisted for four major international film festivals.

In just three years, Lu Yanhe's performance in international film festivals has been too strong.

Moreover, in almost the past year, he has not been absent from the four major international film festivals.

You can see him at every film festival.

Why are films involving Lu Yanhe so favored by top international film festivals?

Some film media did a review and tried to analyze the reasons.

As a result, no pattern was found.

To put it bluntly, Lu Yanhe shoots a lot and the quality of the scenes he shoots is high.

But why did he get caught up in all these dramas?

There are so many Chinese-language films every year, but only a handful are shortlisted for the four major international film festivals.

Do they not want to be shortlisted?

It’s because people have high requirements.

Of course, in fact, Lu Yanhe felt that he basically got the benefit of the doubt. "Three Mountains", "Night Run" and "Rouge Button" were all credited to director Wang Zhong, and "Late Spring" was credited to Liu Bige - and Liu Bige made his debut because he had people helping him in the international community. As a surprise, it was shortlisted for the main competition, and because it was a really good shot, it even won the grand prize.

But this time, "Road to Glory", Lu Yanhe feels that it is more or less because of the starring role of Shang Yongzhou that this film will enter the field of vision of the film selectors at the international film festival. Otherwise, with so many films from all over the world, Production, even if the theme of "Path of Glory" is suitable for the film festival, they may not know about the movie.

As for himself... many people say that Lu Yanhe now has great international influence, and the movies he stars in will directly enter the field of vision of international film festivals.

But Lu Yanhe is self-aware. Although he seems to have become a frequent visitor to major international film festivals for various reasons. Many people even think that he has good personal relationships with many key figures overseas, but in fact he has not reached this level. It can drive a film to receive active attention from top international film festivals.

At this time, some media also stood up and said that Lu Yanhe was really just lucky. It is still early to say that he has become a leading figure in our Chinese-language films. (End of chapter)
