Choose a day to become famous

As he performed more and more plays, Lu Yanhe also liked to act with actors with good acting skills.

The other party's good acting skills can also give him better stimulation.

A person's monologue is good, but the beauty of the opponent's play cannot be replaced by a monologue.

A very simple conflict at the dinner table, Lu Yanhe rehearsed with Chen Yinghui and Jiang Biyu, and almost every line was pondered.

"Xiao Lu is stubborn with me, my first reaction is to slap him in the face." Chen Yinghui said, "Biyu, I will move my arm at this time, don't wait for me to raise my hand, hold me down as soon as I move."

Jiang Biyu understood Chen Yinghui's meaning in seconds, "Well, we have been married for more than 20 years, and I know what you are going to do with just one look from you. No, it should be Xiao Lu's reaction. I know what your next reaction will be, so the action should be faster."

While the two were thinking about the play, Liu Bige did not interrupt, but folded his hands and listened on the side.

"Xiao Lu, you still have to confront me with your eyes just now." Chen Yinghui said to Lu Yanhe again.

"I'm full of temper with you here, shouldn't I stand up to you?" Lu Yanhe was a little confused.

Chen Yinghui said: "If you were really so stubborn and not afraid of me at all, wouldn't you have revealed the fact that you saw me cheating? Why are you still sulking openly and secretly?"

Lu Yanhe reacted.

"You mean, in the final analysis, I am still a little afraid of you as a father."

"If this is not the case, the other scenes will not work." Chen Yinghui said.

Lu Yanhe: "I think I'm not that afraid of you at this time."

"There are differences in this fear. Some fears are specific fears. For example, I am usually very fierce to you and control you very strictly, and you are afraid of me when you see me. Some fears are the natural father-son relationship between you and me. In the context of the whole society, sons have a natural fear when facing their fathers. This kind of authority of fathers is established since childhood." Chen Yinghui said, "You dare to confront me, and the former fear has disappeared, but you dare not open the pot directly. One is that you don't want your mother to know, and the other is the latter. This kind of natural fear, in general, is a weakness and a concern."

Lu Yanhe showed a look of realization.

Officially started shooting. Lu Yanhe's entire performance is much richer. At the dinner table, Lu Yanhe's eyes are no longer the back and forth between him and Chen Yinghui, but have a real reaction, all subconscious details.

For example, when he and Chen Yinghui confronted each other, he would subconsciously look at his mother again, and then put away a look of swallowing anger.

For example, when Chen Yinghui got emotional, he would subconsciously look to the side, or directly look at the table, avoiding Chen Yinghui's eyes.

…

"It's all acting." Liu Bige, sitting behind the monitor, couldn't help but praise, "Look, Lu Yanhe was also in the character state before, and the feeling was right, but the effect was not as good as this scene. The reaction in this scene was like a mortise and tenon, and it was perfectly matched."

Miao Yue asked him, "Don't they say that as long as the character state is right, any performance is right?"

"This is all nonsense." Liu Bige said, "For professional actors, it is not difficult to enter the character state, but it is really difficult to make the audience empathize with the character state. Acting, acting, do you really think that you only need experience and no technology?"

…

After shooting this scene, Lu Yanhe came in from outside the room, and every pore of his body trembled - there was a sense of excitement that he had played enough.

"The feeling of this one is very different." He said to Chen Yinghui and Jiang Biyu.

Liu Bige came over and said, "The last one was good, but let's do another one."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned and looked at Liu Bige absentmindedly, "Was my acting just now not good enough?"

"It was okay." Liu Bige nodded, "But I think you can do better."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Chen Yinghui and Jiang Biyu both smiled and said nothing, and continued to act with Lu Yanhe.

Chen Yinghui was relatively better in this scene, and Jiang Biyu was almost just acting with them.

But even so, she put 100% of her energy into every scene and played an ordinary mother to the core.

A few switching and changes in her eyes made her character very stable.

When Lu Yanhe was acting, his attention was on Chen Yinghui most of the time. When he went to the monitor to watch the footage he had just shot, he noticed that Jiang Biyu was not idle for a moment when he and Chen Yinghui were confronting each other. The changes in her expression and the back and forth of her eyes firmly controlled the balance of the entire picture, making the originally tense picture more relaxed.

Liu Bige asked the three of them to shoot two more takes before giving up.

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but ask: "Are the last two takes better than the previous ones?"

Liu Bige shook his head: "No."

"Then why do you always ask us to reshoot?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Liu Bige smiled and said: "I wanted to see if I could give you a better one. The play you actors put together was more exciting than I expected. I thought it was just an ordinary shot, a transitional scene, but you acted it with full sense of drama. I raised my expectations, and my expectations are getting higher and higher."

Jiang Biyu said to Lu Yanhe with a smile: "Don't ask him. Directors are like this. They are always greedy. After shooting a good one, they want a better one. They will not stop until they find that they can't squeeze anything better out of you."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

He exchanged contact information with two teachers, Chen Yinghui and Jiang Biyu.

"I learned a lot from filming today's scene with you two. Thank you two teachers." Lu Yanhe bowed to them.

Jiang Biyu held Lu Yanhe's face with both hands and patted it gently, just like a mother would do to her child.

"You kid, why are you so polite to the two of us?"

Chen Yinghui smiled and said, "Jiang Jun has praised us countless times that you have a good acting savvy. When we saw him today, it turned out to be true."

Teacher Jiang Jun!

Lu Yanhe showed a look of surprise.

It turns out that there is another layer of reason inside.

-

On the way to meet Director Wang Zhong, Lu Yanhe told Chen Ziyan this matter with emotion.

Chen Ziyan smiled and said: "The entertainment industry is like this. Big or small, it's just a circle. So I usually tell you, try to be kind to others and make more good connections. No one knows when you will make good connections. A person with good karma will help you a lot.”

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Along the way, Lu Yanhe worked hard on his own, but he also relied on the help of many people.

Without Jiang Yuqian's recommendation, he would not have been able to act in Luo Yuzhong's "Golden Age".

Without Luo Yuzhong's recommendation, he would not have been able to act in Chen Lingling's "Phoenix Stage".

Without Chen Lingling's "Phoenix Terrace", Wang Zhong would not have thought of asking him to guest star as the fortune teller in "Three Mountains".

Many things are connected one after another like this.

Lu Yanhe told Chen Ziyan: "The longer I have been an actor, the more I feel that the entertainment industry I saw before is actually just a superficial world. The celebrities we know are just the most eye-catching group of people in the world. In addition to them, there are Mr. Jiang Jun and others are less famous but equally powerful actors.”

"In the actor's profession, there is no use fighting for the day and night, but fighting for the long-term success." Chen Ziyan said, "There used to be many popular actors who were very popular, but they all ended their curtains early. On the contrary, there are actors like Jiang Jun who have been working steadily in this industry. No one knows when they will become famous. Chen Jiping and Zhang Zhiwen are both actors who have emerged in recent years and become famous overnight. Before becoming famous, they also experienced dormancy and silence for more than ten or twenty years. "

In Chen Ziyan's eyes, Lu Yanhe became famous at a young age, experienced overnight fame, and also experienced periods of prosperity and decline. This is Lu Yanhe's most valuable experience. Only with this experience can Lu Yanhe be rational and self-reliant, neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Teacher Jiang, how is his recovery?"

"It's almost back to normal. However, many people are worried that he has not fully recovered. They are afraid that he will relapse. They are afraid to ask him to act, and they are afraid that he will not be able to act in the middle of the performance." Chen Ziyan sighed as she spoke.

Lu Yanhe frowned slightly.

"Forget it if I had such worries before, now half a year has passed, why are they still saying this?"

Chen Ziyan said nothing.

Lu Yanhe said: "Has Northern Lights Video not given feedback on the first five episode scripts of "Squid Game"?"

"Not yet. I guess they are still waiting for the market response from "Seventeenth Floor". However, if we are willing to sign the cooperation agreement with Northern Lights, their evaluation of the "Squid Game" script should be given priority. "A lot." Chen Ziyan said, "What do you think about a long-term cooperation with Northern Lights Video?"

Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Ziyan, I have been thinking about it for a long time. The main thing is to make the cooperation with Northern Lights Video a little simpler. I neither want their capital injection nor do I want the terms of the cooperation to become so complicated. The more complicated it is, the more constraints it will have. Of course I am willing to cooperate with them for a long time, but acting is acting and screenwriting is screenwriting. These are two different things."

"If we separate these two identities, the conditions that Northern Lights promised us before will definitely be compromised." Chen Ziyan immediately reminded.

Lu Yanhe's most glorious resume now is actually "Six People".

The only one that can impress such a big platform as Northern Lights to proactively cooperate with Lu Yanhe is a blockbuster project like "Six People".

The success of "Six People" comes from the fact that Lu Yanhe wrote and acted in this drama. Which identity is the main reason cannot be analyzed, so we can only look at it uniformly.

Lu Yanhe said: "If the conditions are discounted, just discount it. Just don't trick me into it."

Chen Ziyan laughed.

"Then what do you want to talk to them about?"

"A cooperation with actors and a cooperation with screenwriters should be discussed separately." Lu Yanhe said immediately, "Acting is about acting, and screenwriters are about screenwriting. In this way, the company doesn't have to bother me with contracts and profit sharing, and I don't have to worry. Care for one end and lose one for sure.”

Chen Ziyan pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's fine. Your actors are contracted by the company, and the screenwriter is doing it by herself. There is no one else acting as an agent. It's the easiest to do it separately, and it will save a lot of trouble in the future. "

"The most important thing is that I hope to be able to take the initiative in my own hands." Lu Yanhe said, "I want to eliminate unnecessary interference as much as possible when taking on any drama, acting in it, or writing it."

"When you sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Northern Lights, they don't want you to act in their drama, they just like you, so they want to invest in you and buy shares in advance." Chen Ziyan said, "In our current production company, many The news has not been leaked out, and others don’t know that you already have several movie scripts. They only know that you have a "Squid Game" and a costume sitcom with no character. In this case, Mr. Lin is willing to spend so much money. Injecting capital at a large price is actually investing in you.”

Lu Yanhe said: "Actually, these scripts have not been filmed yet, and no one knows what the results will be."

"That's a good thing. Now everyone has only seen your hit "Six", and they will take a high look at your subsequent works." Chen Ziyan said, "Like "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Rouge Button" If a script like this is produced, it won't do much at the box office. Although it is more beautiful and easier to understand than a film like "Three Mountains", it is not the kind of film that can make the audience happy. If it is actually released, When others see their box office results, their expectations of you may be lowered.”

Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "If you can make money, make money, and if you can't, just don't lose money. My goals are not high. Do what you want to do, and don't make money. That's enough."

Chen Ziyan smiled and said, "It's normal for you to think like this now, but when you make a movie that is a huge box office success like "Six People", if you don't change your mind, people around you will force you to change. Just like Director Wang Zhong, the people in Sanhe clearly know Director Wang Zhong’s thoughts and pursuit of art, but that doesn’t stop them from persuading and trying to change Director Wang Zhong’s mind over and over again. You see, in the end, Wang Zhong. Aren’t you still being pushed by them to come to you for publicity?”

Lu Yanhe was horrified.

What Chen Ziyan said is actually a terrible fact.

In this world, you want to be yourself, not just stick to yourself.

-

Wang Zhong should have been proud of the spring breeze.

As a film director, his status in the film industry has skyrocketed, reaching the top of the pyramid in one fell swoop.

However, once any work of art has a reputation, it cannot be shelved on the shelf. If you want to make an orchid in the empty valley, there will be a large number of people who have to measure a market price for you.

Wang Zhong's "Three Mountains" was promoted by Sanhe, a publicity company, to such a huge scale and momentum that they repeatedly told him that as long as the movie worked well, it could sell at the box office.

"Director Wang, don't you want your movie to achieve good box office results at all?"

This sentence was like a magic spell, seducing Wang Zhong to change the principles he adhered to step by step to cooperate with the publicity and marketing arranged by them. Until these two days, he realized belatedly that all this had nothing to do with it. What he thinks is very different.

"They have invested, but the overseas copyright income of "Three Mountains" has already made them a lot of money. I don't owe them anything!" Wang Zhong and Chen Ling both cursed angrily, "Before, I I am also afraid that they will lose money and I will be sorry for them, but "Three Mountains" did not lose money! The overseas copyright income alone has made them more than 20 million, not to mention the long-term profits in the future. Tell them, I will not do it again. Cooperate with them in this false marketing!”

For Lu Yanhe, what made him unhappy about the way "Three Mountains" was promoted was that he was asked to work as a free labor force and his role in the movie was deliberately deceived.

But for Wang Zhong, the current announcement of "Three Mountains" is completely concealing the theme of the film itself. It was promoted from the beginning as a story of three teenagers searching for treasures and adventures in a famine-era time - this is the positioning of a commercial film. Later, they loudly praised Lu Yanhe's acting skills. It was worth going to the cinema just for Lu Yanhe's acting skills.

It was all this kind of gimmick marketing, which Wang Zhong found hard to accept.

Wang Zhong has not appeared in the promotional schedule of "Three Mountains" for two days.

It was Chen Jiang, Sui Fangran, and Wang Lu who were all cooperating.

However, the three of them are just newcomers and not many people know them. The effect of their publicity before the release was not very good.

The people from Sanhe have been contacting Wang Zhong in the past two days, apologizing to him, and trying to coax Wang Zhong back with emotion and reason.

Wang Zhong was even more annoyed by their annoying behavior.

At this time, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan suddenly took the initiative to invite him to have dinner together, which surprised him.

In his heart, Wang Zhong actually admired and was somewhat close to Lu Yanhe.

For "Three Mountains" to receive such high praise, Lu Yanhe's key performance in it is crucial.

Wang Zhong knew that in fact, when it was released at the Xituer Film Festival, the judges and the media all pointed out this point more or less.

But it seems that not many people in China are paying attention, and instead they are focusing on Lu Yanhe's star status.

However, since returning from the Xituer Film Festival, due to film promotion matters, there have been some real rifts between him and Lu Yanhe that have not been made public and have not been spoken to each other.

Wang Zhong didn't know how the rift between him and Lu Yanhe arose. There had been too many things and troubles recently, and he didn't even have the energy to think about and analyze the matter.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan suddenly wanted to come over to have dinner with him.

This incident reminded Wang Zhong of the problems that had arisen between him and Lu Yanhe for no apparent reason.

Chen Ling said: "Wang Zhong, Xiao Lu has never thought of letting others think that this movie is successful because of his performance, so he has deliberately not participated in the promotion of the movie these days, and he doesn't cooperate with these arguments. Sanhe's way not only makes you uncomfortable, but also makes him unhappy. He and Chen Ziyan don't want his fans to be deceived by Sanhe's false propaganda and go to the cinema, only to find that he only has ten minutes of scenes. He was willing to come to us for a guest appearance when he was popular, and it was for you. He helped us a lot. Don't let the behavior of Sanhe's group of people cause discord between the two of you."

Wang Zhong seemed to be hit on the head.

He reacted in an instant, why did he dislike Lu Yanhe a little.

This movie he has been preparing for so many years, after returning from the West Tuer Film Festival, from the beginning of the movie promotion, in the eyes of many people, Lu Yanhe seems to have become the most critical person in this movie. He, the director, has to stand back.

As the director of this movie, how could Wang Zhong be willing to see such a situation?

He looked at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling also looked at him.

The two of them had worked together for so long that they were already old friends.

Chen Ling seemed to have seen through his worries long ago, and only spoke out to remind him at this time.

Wang Zhong fell silent.

Chen Ling smiled.

Wang Zhong asked: "Did Lu Yanhe say anything?"

"He originally complained about our way of always using him for publicity, but after knowing that you, the director, were also deeply hurt by this way of publicity, he let it go. Now, I'm here to invite you to dinner." (End of this chapter)
