Become Famous Another Day

  Remakes are not uncommon at all.

Many of the world's most popular film and television dramas are your remakes of mine, and I'll remake yours.

The most successful remake cases are the well-known "Infernal Affairs" and the adapted "The Departed" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The latter is the only time that great director Martin Scorsese won the Oscar for Best Picture. work.

Another example is "Manslaughter", a remake of an Indian film that grossed more than 1 billion at the box office and became a dark horse at the box office. It also became a classic Chinese film.

Therefore, with the success of "Six" in Asia, it is not surprising that South Korea wants to remake it.

However, Lu Yanhe holds the copyrights for several works. The TV series are "Wulin Gaiden" and "Squid Game", and the movies are "A Man on the Road", "Rouge Button" and "Love Letter". Among these dramas, only "A Man Is Here" "Journey" and "Rouge Button" were released.

TVN is a TV station, will they be interested in "Journey to the Road" and "Rouge Button"?

Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan discussed it for a while, but they didn't discuss which drama TVN would be interested in.

None of it sounds very reliable.

But it’s not a bad thing to get acquainted.

When it comes to doing business, if it doesn't work this time, it might work next time.

The next day, they met with people from TVN in Singapore.

Koreans really have a knack for making people recognize them as Koreans at a glance.

Lu Yanhe and the others arrived a little later.

Two people came to TVN, one named Jin Yanshu and the other named Li Yanmin.

The leader is Jin Yanshu.

Li Yanmin is her subordinate and also serves as translator.

Jin Yanshu does not know English, so she can only rely on a translator to carry out the conversation.

Neither party mentioned Kong Lingfan's behavior on stage last night, and they exchanged pleasantries before Jin Yanshu mentioned that she liked "Rouge Button" very much.

"Rouge" has not yet been released in South Korea. She said she saw it at the Jose Film Festival.

She was originally a TV drama screenwriter and later became a TV station manager.

Jin Yanshu hopes to reach a cooperative relationship with Lu Yanhe to remake the TV series "Rouge Button".

Lu Yanhe was surprised when he heard this.

Counting Icefield Video, this is the second person to propose a remake of "Rouge" into a TV series.

Is this movie so suitable to be adapted into a TV series?

Lu Yanhe was a little confused.

Perhaps because he preconceived the idea that "Rouge Button" was a movie with a relatively simple plot, he never felt that this movie could be adapted into a TV series.

Jin Yanshu said: "This story is very consistent with the current trend of female consciousness awakening."

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

"One more thing, I also hope that such a story can make girls understand the truth that men cannot be trusted."

Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.

Jin Yanshu seems to be a kind-hearted person, but after actual communication, you will find that she is actually a relatively tough woman, a bit like a strong woman.

Li Yanmin, who was sitting next to Jin Yanshu, was also a man. At this moment, he also had a look of helplessness on his face.

There were obviously two men here, but Jin Yanshu didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what she said.

Jin Yanshu's toughness is evident.

Lu Yanhe didn't know why Jin Yanshu thought she said such things. As a man, he wouldn't be angry.

But he was really not very angry, because he knew that he was not this kind of person, so he didn't feel that he was being insinuated.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said to Jin Yanshu: "Ms. Jin, actually we have a domestic company that is planning to make "Rouge Button" into a TV series."

Jin Yanshu nodded and said: "It's normal for others to want to remake this story. Chinese TV dramas do not have the same audience as our Korean dramas. I don't think this will affect our filming of the Korean version."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Ms. Jin, I would like to ask, how do you plan to adapt the story of "Rouge Button"? The movie is adapted against the background of our Republic of China period in the last century."

Jin Yanshu said: "We in Korea also have a similar historical period to yours in the Republic of China. In our adapted version, the main plot and characters will not be changed. We will still retain the storyline of the movie version of Twelve Young Masters and Ruhua, but we The roles of the second male lead and the second female lead will be increased in the modern context to increase the contrast between the past and the present, especially the contrast between women’s status and consciousness.”

Lu Yanhe suddenly understood why Jin Yanshu fell in love with this story.

He did not object to Jin Yanshu's idea of ​​adapting this story, but Lu Yanhe was a little hesitant about her main intention.

"Ms. Jin, I'm worried that if a work takes on too many themes and expressions of consciousness, it will lose its artistry." Lu Yanhe expressed his hesitation in a tactful way.

Jin Yanshu glanced at Lu Yanhe in surprise.

"You don't want this show to be about female consciousness?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said: "No, on the contrary, I am very surprised that you can find such a perspective in the movie story. I must admit that when I wrote the story "Rouge Button", I did not focus on expressing female consciousness. I just want to talk about a person’s letting go and the disillusionment and ambiguity of love.”

Jin Yanshu nodded.

"But when I heard your description just now, this story seems to be completely covered by female consciousness." Lu Yanhe said, "It makes me worry that it weakens the critical nature of the story itself. This criticism is not just directed at the Twelve Young Masters. A male character who has failed Ruhua points to the concepts of the old era and the various discriminations and prejudices that Ruhua suffered. The richness of Ruhua's role is that finally letting go of her obsession with and waiting for the Twelve Young Masters is only part of herself. Belief and persistence in love, infatuation of waiting and kindness are not just female consciousness. "

Jin Yanshu said: "This is indeed the feeling that the movie version brings to us, but if the TV series is shot exactly like the movie, and what it wants to express is exactly the same as the movie, why do we need to adapt it? Every creator has his own Perspective, you are a screenwriter and an actor, you must understand this. "

What Jin Yanshu said does make sense.

She made no secret of her intention to adapt the story "Rouge Button" - in fact, she could have given Lu Yanhe some false praise first to show her respect for the original story and coax Lu Yanhe to authorize the remake rights to her. , no matter how drastic she changed it, he couldn't say anything.

But she was frank and showed no pretense at all, which made Lu Yanhe have a good impression of her.

Lu Yanhe said: "I understand, but I don't want "Rouge Button" to become a tool for expressing consciousness."

"I can assure you about this, we definitely give priority to the story and characters, and we do not intend to use it as a promotional tool." Jin Yanshu said, "You can look at the works I have been responsible for in the past."

Her subordinate Li Yanmin took out a piece of information and handed it to Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe took it in his hand and read it carefully.

They were more reliable and did not send a Korean version, but made an English version.

Lu Yanhe looked at the works that Jin Yanshu has released in recent years, as well as the masterpieces in her career.

Although he has never seen any of them, several of the names are familiar to him. They must be relatively popular. He has seen them from other people or on the Internet.

Before they came, Chen Ziyan told him that Jin Yanshu was a very powerful practitioner. She entered the television industry as a screenwriter, gradually became a producer, and then seized the opportunity to become a senior executive of TVN. In Korean dramas She is a very capable woman who works steadily in the circle.

And the film and television projects she is responsible for have indeed achieved good results. However, the biggest shortcoming of her career is that she has no big hits. According to Lu Yanhe's understanding, the so-called big hits are actually dramas similar to "Blue Life and Death" and "My Love from the Star" that many Chinese people may not have seen but have heard of.

Lu Yanhe said to Jin Yanshu: "Ms. Jin, I need to go back and think about it seriously."

Jin Yanshu nodded.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be settled in one meeting.

They didn't know each other before, and they met for the first time today. Make contact first, communicate initially, and then talk more slowly in the future.

In the end, Jin Yanshu said to Lu Yanhe: "I am not responsible for the drama "Six People", but Kong Lingfan invited you to guest star in the drama "Six People" at the opening ceremony last night. It was his personal behavior to communicate with us, and TVN also entrusted me to apologize on your behalf. Of course, we really wanted to invite you to guest star. We originally wanted to wait until the script was officially released before extending the invitation to you, but we didn't expect that he would be the one to do it. I did what I did last night, sorry.”

Jin Yanshu's attitude satisfied both Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan.

In any case, what happened with Kong Lingfan last night was unpleasant. The Korean version of "Six People" is produced by TVN. If TVN doesn't explain it and gives such a gesture, then Lu Yanhe will definitely not be able to get over this matter in his heart.

-

After Lu Yanhe, Chen Ziyan and others finished talking with Jin Yanshu, they returned to the hotel.

Chen Ziyan said: "Do you want to authorize them to make a Korean version of "Rouge"?"

The copyright of "Rouge Button" belongs to Linghe Film and Television Company. Lu Yanhe must nod before the authorization can be achieved.

Lu Yanhe said: "I don't really like them adapting works with this kind of concept first, but I think what she said makes sense. If I had such a lenient control over every adaptation, I would be exhausted to death." It also doesn’t help other creators to express their creativity.”

"In the future, there will probably be more and more partners coming to you to authorize adaptations. This is indeed something you need to consider clearly. Should you only control principle issues, or should you carefully consider every adaptation party? "The direction of their adaptation." Chen Ziyan said, "In fact, the latter itself is difficult to achieve. You have to know that each country's review standards and market conditions are different, and it is impossible for us to authorize many adaptations every time. Explain the specific situation. All we can say is to choose a reliable partner.”

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"I think we should just do principled control." Lu Yanhe said, "Content that slanders China is not allowed to appear, issues of political nature are not allowed to appear, and other things that belong to content creation, we will not impose requirements. Everyone How they want to adapt it is their own business.”

Chen Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's all you want to think about."

-

Although the Asian Television Festival also awards awards, its positioning is not just about honors.

More often than not, it's more like a big box store.

Every year, many projects are promoted here and sold to other countries.

The cultural and historical backgrounds of Asia are relatively close to each other and are not as different as those of Europe and the United States. Therefore, film and television dramas are relatively popular.

Of course, in the drama market, Korean dramas have always been the most popular in Asia, and all of Asia follows its formula.

In the past, love was king, but now all types of tracks are in full bloom, with all kinds of themes covered, and all kinds of themes have become masterpieces.

Lu Yanhe clearly felt that Chinese dramas were not as popular as Korean dramas here.

Only two types, ancient dolls and modern dolls, are very popular in Southeast Asian countries.

Many projects frequently break the news of "sold at high prices". I don’t know if those prices are true or false. Anyway, everyone is very good at marketing these days. The real selling price is one thing, publicity is another.

Lu Yanhe stayed here for two days and met with Jin Yanshu again to talk about the adaptation of "Rouge Button" into a Korean drama.

In response to Lu Yanhe's concerns, Jin Yanshu asked someone to make an adaptation outline and communicated their specific adaptation ideas to Lu Yanhe, in order to prove to Lu Yanhe that their adaptation would never turn it into a "feminist propaganda drama" ".

Lu Yanhe actually recognized it more and more.

In the end, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement and were ready to start subsequent negotiations.

-

When Lu Yanhe returned to China, the first thing he did was to meet Li Quansen, the boss of Icefield Video.

He also said at the beginning that he wanted to remake "Rouge" into a TV series.

At that time, Lu Yanhe also wanted to see their adaptation ideas before making a decision. Icefield Video also approached Miao Yue and wanted Miao Yue to be the screenwriter.

Lu Yanhe first told Li Quansen that TVN wanted to film the Korean version, and also mentioned that he had initially decided to authorize it. After that, he proposed that if Icefield Video wanted to continue adapting "Rouge", he would authorize it to them.

Li Quansen has no problem with South Korea adapting the Korean version at the same time.

Due to unspeakable reasons, Korean dramas are now unable to formally enter the domestic market and cannot create competition.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe first signed an agreement with Icefield Video for the drama adaptation of "Rouge Button" and "People on the Road".

Among them, "Rouge Button" was authorized to be adapted into a TV series, and "People on the Road" was authorized to be adapted into two online dramas.

The license for the adaptation of the three dramas is sold in a package, with a total licensing fee of 21 million, which also includes some subsequent specific shares.

This licensing fee is not credited to Lu Yanhe’s own account, but is the company’s profit. Because the copyrights of these two dramas belong to Linghe, not Lu Yanhe himself.

Of course, a large part of Linghe's income belongs to Lu Yanhe.

Chen Ziyan said with a smile: "When you asked me to invest in Linghe, I really took advantage."

There are only three shareholders in Linghe, Lu Yanhe, Chen Ziyan, and Chen Siqi. At first, Lu Yanhe held 80% and Chen Ziyan held 20%. Later, Lu Yanhe took 5% of the shares and gave them to Chen Siqi.

Now the operating costs of Linghe are not high. Without a fixed business location and no staff, it is just a shell company. This also means that the company's operating income is almost all pure profit.

Lu Yanhe did not expect that the copyright income would be so profitable... Of course, this is mainly because the two movies themselves are very popular, so the remake rights can be authorized at such a price. In fact, the licensing price of 21 million is not high compared to the success of these two movies. It can even be said to be a low price. The reason why the adaptation rights were given at such a price is mainly because they also enjoy the rights to follow-up. Aspect sharing.

The main focus is long-term revenue.

Just like the subsequent copyright income from these two movies, they will also be paid in a steady stream.

Lu Yanhe can almost imagine that one day in the future, his income as an actor may be far less than the copyright income he receives as an IP creator.

After Lu Yanhe had such an idea, not long after, another established drama theater came to discuss cooperation in adapting "Rouge Button" into a drama.

The story of "Rouge Button" is obviously much worse at the box office than "On the Road", but it seems to have more room for adaptation authorization.

When TVN finally bought the Korean adaptation rights of "Rouge" for US$1.2 million, Lu Yanhe once again realized how considerable the income from the adaptation was.

Linghe Film and Television released this news, focusing on the promotion point of "cultural export". While moving closer to the main official promotion direction, it also aimed to consolidate Lu Yanhe's "international" image. On this road, Lu Yanhe walked so fast that no one could catch him.

-

At this time, news from Liu Jiazhen and Chen Lingling also came over.

Liu Jiazhen agreed to provide story ideas for the second season of "Silent River" but will not serve as the main script writer.

In fact, when the news was announced, Liu Jiazhen's story ideas had already been provided.

In the first season of "River of Silence", Lu Yanhe played a criminal suspect and Zeng Qiao played a policeman. In the end, Lu Yanhe was cleared of suspicion and was innocent.

Liu Jiazhen did not make Lu Yanhe a criminal suspect again on this basis - this was what Chen Lingling was dissatisfied with before. She did not want the show to look like a copy of the first season's model.

Liu Jiazhen turned the police character starring Zeng Qiao into a criminal suspect in this season's story, while the character played by Lu Yanhe became a key witness in this season's case. Lu Yanhe saw Zeng Qiao emerge from the crime scene with his own eyes, and the time of appearance was less than an hour after the death of the deceased. In this case, after Lu Yanhe's contact with Zeng Qiao in the first season, he believed that he was not the murderer. Therefore, when he learned that his testimony made Zeng Qiao fall into suspicion, he decided to conduct his own investigation to find out how to clear Zeng Qiao. Evidence of bridge suspicion.

After Lu Yanhe heard this setting of Liujiazhen, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Chen Lingling is also very satisfied with this design.

Therefore, Liu Jiazhen used this concept to enrich the characters and storyline.

He promised to provide a detailed synopsis within three months.

After that, the specific writing was done by professional screenwriters.

The second season of "Silent River" has been officially announced.

Lu Yanhe and Zeng Qiao both signed contracts of intent and agreed to return.

Once the news came out, it was not only a hot search in China, but also on the related hot search lists of several overseas social media.

As the creative provider of this season's story, Liu Jiazhen was also noticed by the audience of the first season of "Silent River".

He is a very famous author of suspense novels, but compared to the audience of film and television dramas, many people still don't know him.

At first glance, it turned out to be the original author of "19 Years of Crime". Some viewers who had watched this bad movie didn't know the situation and started complaining directly, wondering why the second season of "Silent River" wanted such a bad movie. The original author provides story ideas.

Readers and fans of Liujia Town immediately left comments under similar complaints. The film and the book were separated. The original work of "Nineteen Years of Crime" was a highly praised novel, but the movie turned out to be a bad movie. Don't blame the original author.

Lu Yanhe also posted a Weibo, saying: "Nineteen Years of Crime" is one of my favorite novels. It is also the first novel recommended in my live broadcast room. I can invite teacher Liu Jiazhen to write "Silence of Silence". I'm very happy with the story ideas provided for the second season of "River". As an actor who already knows some of the content in advance, I can say that I can't wait to get started filming the second part of "Silent River".

"Nineteen Years of Crime" was once again a hot seller on major e-commerce platforms, directly ranking first.

This is mainly the sales contributed by the audience of the show "Silent River".

Many people want to see how the author who provided story ideas for the second season of "Silent River" and was so praised by Lu Yanhe is doing.

Sales of another novel by Liu Jiazhen, "Spiral of Silence", also increased.

-

October is a very busy month for Lu Yanhe when he is not filming.

On the one hand, there are many applications for derivative adaptations of "Rouge Button" in various aspects. Domestic theaters have authorized them in the form of dramas and dance dramas. There is also a top comic company in the industry who hopes to obtain comic authorization and adapt it into comics. ,etc.

On the other hand, Lu Yanhe was invited to watch the first two episodes of "Squid Game" and made some suggestions of his own. In addition to this drama, Lu Yanhe also chatted with a film company about "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". They were quite interested in the script, but after talking, they found that they wanted to make this movie After filming the plot of an idol drama, Lu Yanhe silently gave up. Even if people agreed to keep the copyright in his hands, Lu Yanhe gave up.

There is no need to force cooperation if there is an inappropriate cooperation concept.

There were many scripts sent to Lu Yanhe. This month there have been more than 20 people coming in one after another, and these are still those who have been initially screened. Lu Yanhe read a lot of scripts, and the quality was basically decent. Some scripts made Lu Yanhe's eyes red and were very touching. However, Lu Yanhe did not choose any of them in the end.

It’s all because I feel like it’s not good enough. He actually recommended several of the scripts to his friends, thinking that there were suitable characters in them.

At this moment, Jiang Yuqian suddenly came to see him.

"Yan He, I want to make the movie "Telephone" myself." As soon as Jiang Yuqian spoke, Lu Yanhe was shocked.

Jiang Yuqian wants to be her own producer and promote this project herself. Originally, this project had to be launched long ago, but Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan finally decided to keep the copyright of all future scripts in their own hands, which led to the shelving of the two projects "Telephone" and "Those Years".

"I have secured an investment. If the rest is not enough, I will pay for it myself." Jiang Yuqian seemed determined to make this movie well.

Lu Yanhe reminded: "Sister Yuqian, the risk of making a movie is still quite high. Are you sure you want to invest on your own?"

Jiang Yuqian nodded and said: "Because I want to make this movie as soon as possible. I don't want to wait forever. I like this story. You said before that because no other company is willing to make a drama whose copyright does not belong to you, so, I Decided to raise investment and build a team on his own.”

Lu Yanhe was really shocked by Jiang Yuqian's attitude. Jiang Yuqian had just finished filming "The Squid Game" not long ago, so she shouldn't have been so anxious to get into her next film. Besides, the movie "Telephone" was already decided to be hers, so why was she so anxious?

But Chen Ziyan said: "If I were Jiang Yuqian, I would be anxious."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was even more surprised.

Chen Ziyan: "Think about it, what's going on with you now? "The Road" is a big hit, "Rouge" is also a big hit, both at the box office and word-of-mouth, so how many people are watching "The Telephone" eagerly? If we don't start filming as soon as possible, from her perspective, no matter how good her relationship is with you, she still faces the possibility of a replacement? Of course she wants to launch "The Telephone" as soon as possible and make this drama a sure thing. It becomes her play.”

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

Lu Yanhe felt that there was nothing to be anxious about, since this movie belonged to her anyway.

But Jiang Yuqian didn't think so. In the entertainment industry, people are likely to be replaced as soon as the movie starts, and his drama is so popular, it is normal for her to worry about being snatched away.

Another thing is that it is neither a lack of investment nor any other weak conditions to start the business now. It's just that Lu Yanhe and his company were working on "Love Letter" and couldn't spare any energy to make "Telephone", and other production companies were unwilling to just let Lu Yanhe and his team be the filming team and wanted the film rights, so they delayed it. . Jiang Yuqian doesn't want the movie rights. What she needs is the career boost this movie will bring.

"The advantage of letting Jiang Yuqian do this movie is that we save time and effort. We have a project operator. Moreover, she has high hopes for this movie. She has deep connections in the industry and her resources. Adding us is an addition, but there are also problems, because she has never been a producer, nor has she made a movie. She has no experience. You know how risky and difficult it is to make a movie. After you became the director of "Love Letter", you should know this even more, "Chen Ziyan said, "So, if she does it, there is a high possibility of failure. "

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Yanhe to say that because he had a good relationship with Jiang Yuqian, he gave a script like "Telephone" to Jiang Yuqian to try and make mistakes.

Having a good relationship is not such a good idea.

Moreover, Jiang Yuqian said that she wanted to take the pictures by herself, but he just handed it over to her without asking anything or worrying about anything. This is also an irresponsible behavior.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe thought carefully for a long time and felt that he should talk openly with Jiang Yuqian.

Regarding Lu Yanhe's concerns, Jiang Yuqian did not have any dissatisfaction or anger.

"Of course." Jiang Yuqian said, "Even if you don't say it, I still want to listen to your opinion. Making a movie is difficult. I know that it is not something that I can do with my brain. However, I want to learn , I won’t mess around, I will find a good production team and director to make this movie together.”

Lu Yanhe asked: "Sister Yuqian, do you have any ideas about the director?"

Jiang Yuqian said: "Before I came to you to talk about this matter, I had thought about it a lot and had a list in my mind."

Among Jiang Yuqian's proposed invitees are Mo Mofan, the director of "The Home I Haven't Returned to for a Long Time," and Huang Pump, the director of "Upstairs." Almost all of them are directors who have had box-office hits in recent years.

"Have you ever talked to these directors?"

"I haven't obtained your consent yet, how could I go and talk to them first." Jiang Yuqian shook her head.

Lu Yanhe said: "If one of these directors is willing to direct, I will be very willing to leave this movie to you."

Jiang Yuqian's eyes lit up.

"Okay, then we've settled on it."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

-

During the North American awards season, "Path of Glory" won two more awards, winning nominations for Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor at the Uleta Critics Circle Award and the Boston Film Critics Society Award.

These are also awards that are not considered top-tier awards. As soon as the nomination list came out, "Path of Glory" released the news. While doing publicity, it also added fuel to "Path of Glory's North American awards season tour."

Lu Yanhe has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor consecutively, which makes some people wonder why Lu Yanhe has received three nominations, but the leading actor Shang Yongzhou has not made any news?

A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.

Lu Yanhe and the others knew that it was because they spent money on public relations, but Shang Yongzhou did not.

This actually means that if you play according to their rules of the game, others will treat you as entering the game.

And if you don't play according to their rules of the game, then they will assume that you are not interested in winning the award, and they will not consider you when nominating.

This is not necessarily whether the actor wants to play or not. Sometimes, it is the wish of his team or the participating film company.

But no matter who it is, there must be someone to help you figure out the rules of the game.

Of course, there is another key reason. The competition for Best Supporting Actor is much smaller than that for Best Actor. It would be almost impossible for Shang Yongzhou to get nominated for Best Actor with the same public relations budget. For this award, actors, agencies, film studios and other parties work together to win this award. Unlike the Best Supporting Actor category, the competition pressure is much smaller.

The American Green Valley Film Company also obtained an invitation letter for Lu Yanhe to a grand event held in Hollywood at the end of October.

This is an important part of the public relations journey during the awards season every year.

If Lu Yanhe didn't go to such activities and get to know people in Hollywood, it would still be the same. People wouldn't even consider you for many awards in the future. There are too many good movies in this world, and that doesn’t mean they have the obligation to dig out every good movie. As long as the movies they dig out are good movies and good performances, that's enough.

It is said that China is a society of relationships, and in Hollywood, this is no less true. If you don't enter their circle, they won't even bother to talk to you.

However, Lu Yanhe is Chinese and has never been in European and American circles before. Except for a few limited appearances at film festivals, he has not had much contact with people in the European and American circles. When he goes to such an occasion, if he doesn't show some courtesy, he will be embarrassed. But if he were asked to take the initiative to share the cattle, he would rather forget it.

Fortunately, Schmidt Lawley, the owner of Green Valley Film Company in the United States, introduced him to various people.

After going through this kind of casual acquaintance with people, Lu Yanhe couldn't remember a few at all.

Despite this, Lu Yanhe still had to pretend, "Oh, I've known you for a long time!" or "We really hit it off, we must find a chance to have a good chat next time."

At this kind of event, getting to know and chatting with Hollywood producers, directors, and actors is the next best thing. At this stage, Lu Yanhe still needs to get to know more film critics and media people, so that they know about him and the movie "Path of Glory." movie.

Lu Yanhe's own image and conversation played a very important role at this time.

The identity of a top student in a prestigious school is common in any country in the world.

The public relations strategy formulated by American Green Valley Film Company for Lu Yanhe is two labels, first, a young genius in the Chinese film industry, and second, a top student who counterattacked and was admitted to a prestigious school.

These two points are not exaggerated slogans for Hollywood. After all, in Hollywood, there are many things more exaggerated than this. However, for Lu Yanhe, these two labels are currently the most convenient first impression for Hollywood to know him.

After Lu Yanhe participated in this event in the United States, he was ready to return to China the next day.

Who knew, he had packed his things and was about to leave the hotel and head to the airport. Suddenly, Schmidt Lawley contacted him and said, "Lu, Director Muchen Sorge wants to meet with you."

Director Muchen Sorge was whom Lu Yanhe met last night.

He is a German who has directed two movies in Hollywood, both horror movies, both with good box office results. They are both classic cases of using a small amount to achieve a box office of tens of millions at a cost of millions.

Lu Yanhe said: "Mr. Lawley, I have a flight back to China in four hours."

Schmidt Lawley said: "Oh, then let me ask him, if he can't make up the time, how about just meeting via online video. But, can you change the contract? He has a movie in preparation on hand, and he There is a character coming to you.”

Lu Yanhe said: "I'm sorry, I have arranged work in my country and I have to rush back."

After a while, Schmidt Lawley called and said, "Lu, Muken said he would come to your hotel to meet you now and take you to the airport."

Lu Yanhe was surprised.

Thirty minutes later, Lu Yanhe saw the German director at the door of the hotel.

As a director, he is not very old, only in his mid-thirties, with a little beard.

After seeing him, Muchen Sorge immediately came to shake hands with him warmly, "Fortunately, I caught up."

Lu Yanhe politely greeted Muken Sorge and said, "Hello, director."

Muken Sorge looked at the suitcase behind Lu Yanhe and Zou Dong, Wang Biao and others, and asked, "Are you going to the airport now?"

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Muchen Sorge said: "Then let me drive you there. I'll drive over and let's chat on the way, okay?"

Lu Yanhe was surprised and laughed.

However, Muken Sorge came to him so proactively, with such full gestures and sincerity that Lu Yanhe couldn't even say no.

Moreover, apart from talking about this, Lu Yanhe also wanted to hear why Muken Sorge had to meet him before he returned to China.

"good."

So, Zou Dong and Wang Biao got into the car they rented with their luggage, and Lu Yanhe got into Muchen Sorge's car.

Mukken Sorge said: "There is a script on the chair for my next movie."

Lu Yanhe opened the passenger door and saw the loose-leaf script.

He took it in his hands, sat down, put on his seatbelt, and glanced at the cover.

The word "Mist" is written on the cover.

Director/Screenwriter: Muken Sorge. (End of chapter)
