Choose a day to become famous

On the day when "Three Mountains" premiered in Yuming, both Li Zhibai and Yan Liang came to support Lu Yanhe.

Nowadays, movie promotions like to do a segment where "celebrity audiences talk about their movie-watching experience", and what they say is put on short video platforms for promotion.

Therefore, this kind of premiere usually invites many celebrities to support the event, and uses their fame and fan power to spread the coverage of the movie.

Because this was not a movie starring Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe didn't want to create a big fight, so he asked Li Zhibai and Yan Liang if they were free. They happened to be free, so they were invited.

After all, it was a movie he acted in. No matter how much conflicts he had with the promoter in the early stage, on the eve of its release, Lu Yanhe still hoped that the movie would achieve good results.

After the movie screening ended, the audience burst into applause.

This is also an inertia operation.

It's not uncommon for movie premieres to be met with negative feedback.

Basically, it's either a trust or a human relationship, and you have to praise it a few times.

Many people from the film industry came to the scene, especially several big directors.

Lu Yanhe followed everyone on stage.

Chen Jiang and the others gave him the C seat next to Director Wang Zhong, but he didn't go and let them go, standing at the edge.

The host also asked, smiling why Lu Yanhe was so afraid of standing in the C position.

Lu Yanhe said: "They are the leading actors, I am just here to make a cameo. This is their time to accept everyone's applause."

As soon as Lu Yanhe finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

The host first interviewed the creators one by one.

When asked about Lu Yanhe, the question was: "We all heard that you only shot this scene for one night. Why did you come to guest star in this movie at that time?"

Lu Yanhe said: "To tell the truth, my agent helped me take the next step, so I came. Before this, I had not watched the movie directed by Wang Zhong. From now on, I will watch the movie directed by Wang Zhong." After watching it, I understood why my agent helped me take on this movie. Even if there is only one scene, it is still worth it. This was my feeling after watching the movie directed by Wang Zhong. "

The host smiled and said: "It seems that Director Wang Zhong is still very kind to you, giving you ten minutes of footage."

"Yes." Lu Yanhe immediately said with a smile, "I will treasure these ten minutes of footage."

The host asked again: "Previously, your response to director Wang Zhong's film style at the West Turf Film Festival aroused heated discussions in the world of film circles. When you said those words, did you ever think that it would have such a big impact? ?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "How could that happen?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the host, who had an expression on his face like "Huh? Are you done yet?" Lu Yanhe had no choice but to continue: "As an actor, I think I can feel various styles, themes, and emotions." The charm of genre movies is a very important foundation. The interpretation I made is not the real director Wang Zhong, it is just the director Wang Zhong in my eyes. Thousands of people have thousands of faces. Movies like "Three Mountains" must also be It’s like this, different people will see different content, and this is the most enjoyable moment for me as a participant in a movie.”

…

When it came time for the audience to give their speeches, the host was the first to call Li Zhibai's name.

"I heard that Li Zhibai also came to the scene today. Where is Zhibai?"

Li Zhibai stood up from the audience and waved to the people on the stage.

Many spectators in the audience immediately took out their mobile phones to take pictures of him.

Li Zhibai said: "Hello, director Wang Zhong, I am Li Zhibai, a friend of Lao Lu. I would like to introduce myself first. I am also an actor. If you have a role in the future, please consider me. Even one scene is fine. "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started laughing. There are many actors who recommend themselves, but it is rare for actors to recommend themselves at the premiere of someone else's movie.

However, Li Zhibai has always been a rebellious person, and everyone has already formed an impression of him, so they are not surprised.

Director Wang Zhong nodded and said, "I've seen your play."

"Ah?" Li Zhibai was surprised, "It can't be "Along with You to the End of the World", right? Director, do you also watch idol dramas?"

Director Wang Zhong nodded again and said, "My daughter is a fan of yours, and she took me to watch two episodes together."

Many people were shocked at the scene, mainly because no one expected that Director Wang Zhong, an artist with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually watch an idol drama like "With You to the End of the World".

Li Zhibai laughed twice and said, "Then I have to thank your daughter for letting the director get to know me."

Wang Zhong said: "Next time there is a suitable opportunity, I will look for you."

"Okay." Li Zhibai's eyes lit up.

They started chatting for no reason.

After the pleasantries were over, Li Zhibai got down to business and talked about his own experience of watching the movie.

"I don't usually watch this kind of movies. I'm a layman and I like to watch movies that make my blood boil. But just now I was sitting in the cinema and watched it from beginning to end. I was absorbed in it. It's no exaggeration. My attention was always fixed. I was so caught up in the movie’s scenes that I really thought I wouldn’t be able to stand it anymore.” Li Zhibai held the microphone with both hands, “Actually, I’ve never watched Director Wang’s movie, but it seems like it’s just because of the past. When I saw everyone's descriptions of Director Wang in the media and on the Internet, I had some stereotypes about movies that were obscure, difficult to watch, etc. But today I felt like I got a huge surprise. I don't think this is the case. The movie cannot be defined as a commercial film - if the standard for measuring commercial films and literary films is whether they are good-looking or not, there is no doubt that this is a very good-looking film, I really think so."

Immediately, Wang Zhong's fans cheered, meaning that Li Zhibai said it well.

Li Zhibai continued: "The performances of several actors were all great. Before watching the movie, I seemed to have the feeling that Lu's ten-minute performance was the highlight of the movie. In fact, it was only after watching the movie that I realized that this There are so many wonderful things about the movie, and the performances of the actors are also very good, so I had the urge to ask Director Wang for roles just now. They are all very young actors, about my age. I saw that they can play the role in "Three Mountains" I’m so envious of such a great performance in this movie.”

After Li Zhibai finished speaking, he returned the microphone to the staff.

Host: "Thank you Zhibai. Your sharing really makes us feel your love for this movie. What about you, Yan Liang?"

Yan Liang was sitting next to Li Zhibai.

After his name was called, Yan Liang stood up and said hello to everyone.

"Li Zhibai has said everything I want to say, and I don't know what else to say." He laughed.

Host: "It's okay, let me just say a few words. Just now Li Zhibai was praising others, not your good brother. How about you talk about Lu Yanhe?"

"He has nothing to say." Yan Liang said immediately.

Lu Yanhe said "Come on".

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Yan Liang: "I felt very shocked after watching it. It was such a shock to my soul. I haven't seen a movie like this for a long time. Maybe it will take me a long time to digest the excitement it brought me after I go back."

"What kind of excitement?"

"In the face of desire and temptation, what kind of choices do people have to make?" Yan Liang said, "This movie is like a dream that renders unpredictable colors and is full of weirdness. It is very similar to our real life. It’s far away, but it seems to vaguely echo the shadows in our hearts. Does saying this make others think I’m a bad person? Hahaha.”

Lu Yanhe immediately answered: "Who told you that you have nothing to say to me? Others must have thought you were a bad person."

Laughter again.

Yan Liang smiled.

"All in all, I will definitely watch this movie again. It is incredible that a movie can bring such an experience after watching it."

-

After the premiere of "Three Mountains", Sanhe held a small media interview.

Lu Yanhe went with the crew to be interviewed and was busy until late.

Wang Zhong invited everyone to have a late-night snack together. Lu Yanhe said that Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were still waiting for him, and they made an appointment to have something to eat together.

Wang Zhong said: "Then let's invite them to come together."

Lu Yanhe thought, that is also a good thing.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are both acting. If they can participate in Wang Zhong's movies in the future, it will of course be a good thing. Even if they can't participate, knowing Wang Zhong, maybe there will be a suitable opportunity in the future, and through Wang Zhong Recommended to them.

Lu Yanhe immediately called Li Zhibai and Yan Liang to join them.

Chen Ling invited everyone to go to a Chaoshan hot pot restaurant together.

The release date of "Three Mountains" is two days later. Feedback from today’s premiere has come out one after another, with many media giving favorable reviews. The speeches of Li Zhibai and Yan Liang at the premiere were also trending on Sanhe Operations.

Just wait for the movie to be officially released to see what kind of results it can achieve.

At this time, when everyone is eating together, it is inevitable that they can't help but daydream about the box office and the situation after the movie is released.

Especially Chen Jiang and the others.

Wang Zhong also warned him sincerely: "You must act well and study your acting skills in a down-to-earth manner. Don't get carried away just because of some compliments from people around you."

Chen Jiang and the others nodded immediately.

In front of Wang Zhong, Chen Jiang and the others were very well-behaved.

Lu Yanhe was different from them.

Chen Jiang and the others were all people who were discovered by Wang Zhong. This kind of friendship was not comparable to that of Lu Yanhe.

Just like Director Luo Yuzhong has a status for Lu Yanhe that other directors cannot match.

It can be said that whenever Luo Yuzhong needs it, Lu Yanhe will definitely help him, no matter the salary or the size of the role.

Wang Zhong added: "You two all came out of the movie "Three Mountains". In the future, you should support each other and don't quarrel or fight because of trivial matters. You should learn from them. When you were young, you should learn from them." Friends we know are the purest, no matter how strong they are. Helping each other can go a long way.”

As soon as he finished saying this, Lu Yanhe looked at each other and smiled at Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.

We met as a teenager, which is a rare friendship. The older I get and the more people I see, the more I feel this way.

-

In the meantime, Wang Zhong went outside to answer the phone.

Lu Yanhe went to the bathroom and happened to meet Wang Zhong on the corridor returning, who was also walking back.

"director."

"Xiao Lu, thank you very much for inviting Li Zhibai and Yan Liang here today."

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang may not have a high status in the film industry, but they are both popular stars now and have great appeal. Their ability to appear together at the premiere of "Three Mountains" all depends on Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "Director, you are too polite. I also have selfish motives and hope to introduce them to you."

Wang Zhong smiled.

He said: "You are such a good young man. I only worked with you for one night on the movie. But I have experienced a lot of things outside of the movie. Your response and courage surprised me." ”

Lu Yanhe quickly shook his head and chuckled.

"No way, you praise me so much, I'm almost ashamed."

"Chen Jiang and others were selected by me to act in this drama. From the time they were selected, to training, and now, in three or four years, they have acted in my drama. I don't know if it has delayed them. , after all, they had to turn down many roles," Wang Zhong said, "In addition to acting, you also write your own scripts and produce. If you have good opportunities, please give them more support. "

"Director, I will do my best." Lu Yanhe said.

The king nodded.

"After I won the Best Director award at the West Tur Film Festival, everyone looked respectful when they saw me, respecting me like a master. It seemed like a huge change had occurred, but in fact, I have always been me, Nothing has changed." Wang Chong smiled, "I am ashamed to say that I have only experienced the impact of this huge fame and fortune at this time. In this regard, you are my senior, with your calm demeanor. , It really impressed me, unlike a young man in his early twenties.”

Lu Yanhe: "Director, you are serious. You have always put all your thoughts and concentration on making movies, so you didn't bother to deal with these things before. I was often forced into Liangshan, and I had to face it. Change yourself to make yourself look calm, but in fact you are not.”

Wang Zhong took a deep look at Lu Yanhe and smiled slightly.

On the first day of its release, "Three Mountains" had box office pre-sales of 3.72 million and 12% of the film schedule.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang each reserved the theater and invited their fans to watch the movie.

"Jump Up" launches the "Three Mountains" film review and launches the "Three Mountains" movie viewing essay competition. The selected candidates can receive remuneration and publish it on the "Jump Up" self-media.

Lu Yanhe was filming on the set of "Late Spring" and held a ten-minute live broadcast to tell some behind-the-scenes stories about himself and the movie "Three Mountains" at the West Tur Film Festival.

The Youth Association of Zhenhua University announced that it will hold a forum "Wang Zhong and His Films" in seven days, inviting Wang Zhong, the winner of the Best Director at the West Turf Film Festival, to give a lecture.

Yemai.com teamed up with many of its movie bloggers to organize a movie viewing event.

…

These are not publicity activities arranged by Sanhe, they all come from the power of Lu Yanhe.

Chen Siqi posted a Weibo, saying: I didn’t want to spend so much effort to promote a movie not starring Lu Yanhe, but he was right in saying that even if the movie does not feature him as the protagonist, he will It's an honor to be a part of this film, and it's worth it.

With the help of all parties, the first-day box office of "Three Mountains" sold 19.27 million. Adding in the 860,000 previously screened, the first-day box office exceeded 20 million, which is much higher than that given by professional box office forecasting agencies. The forecast figure is 10.5 million.

Only then did Lu Yanhe send out an officially produced congratulatory picture for the first day box office exceeding 20 million, saying: Thank you.

Many fans congratulated each other from a distance.

However, there are also some anti-fans who are sarcastic and laugh at Lu Yanhe's huge movie. The box office on the first day was only 20 million, which was not even as high as an old movie released last Friday.

Lu Yanhe didn't say anything.

Fans fought back angrily, emphasizing what a great box office result this was for an art film.

The next day, Saturday.

Box office pre-sale numbers and growth are not obvious.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, the daily box office would have exceeded 10 million.

It seems that the box office on Saturday was lower than on Friday.

This box office figure allowed more scumbags to find an attack point, and then they began to say that Lu Yanhe's fans did not have lasting fighting power, and the box office saw a decline the next day.

Generally speaking, the box office on Saturday is much higher than that on Friday.

Lu Yanhe and the others actually found it strange.

However, after research by a professional box office data organization, we came to the conclusion that yesterday's box office reached that figure mainly due to Lu Yanhe's fans watching the movie. The loss of this part of the audience today revealed the real market for this movie. Condition.

This data analysis has been circulated in the industry. On the one hand, it is a pity that the movie did not achieve better box office results after all. On the other hand, they are surprised by Lu Yanhe's ability to bring in box office results.

For a movie that did not star him, the box office hit on the first day was mainly supported by him.

This is too incredible to be true.

A movie with a ten-minute guest appearance can achieve such results, but what will happen when it comes to a movie starring Lu Yanhe?

Such a question arises subconsciously in many people's minds.

In the end, the box office of "Three Mountains" was fixed at 15.3 million yuan on Saturday, and the total box office exceeded 35 million yuan.

This is already the best domestic box office result for a film directed by Wang Zhong.

The movie's box office is expected to exceed 50 million, which surprises Mikawa.

They had all given up.

There were so many commotions before the release. Lu Yanhe and Wang Zhong refused to cooperate with their publicity strategies, leaving them at a loss. They slapped each other in the face, and the reputation was ruined.

did not expect.

Those in the know are pleasantly surprised by such a figure.

But people who don't know how to do it are seriously discussing whether Lu Yanhe's redness is fake or not.

"It's a joke. I used to act like I was an emperor and a superstar. I didn't expect that the movie would show its original shape as soon as it was released. The box office might not even break 60 million. What happened to literary and artistic films? Artistic films are the best test of an actor's ability to handle the box office. "Yu Jiang said sarcastically, "With so many people helping to promote it, and the top-selling magazine in the country co-organizing an essay competition, and the top university hosting a director forum, what kind of box office did you think it would be able to make, if it were another movie? With such help, it will probably exceed 100 million on the first day.”

Chen Siqi forwarded her post on Weibo and said: "No matter how capable a person is of telling lies with his eyes open - the first-day box office record of our domestic literary and artistic films is still held by director Zhang Haizhou, with 84.2 million on the first day, how can you beat it? Yi? Don’t you look down on other people’s good intentions and are as jealous as a sour cucumber?”

A group of people commented on Chen Siqi’s Weibo:

——Sister 66666!

——I just like watching my sister spray this old witch.

——I really want to know how much grudge you have against Teacher Yu Jiang to make her stare at you all the time?

…

At this time, "Movie Jianghu" magazine disclosed a figure. The production cost of "Three Mountains" was only 17 million, and the publicity cost was only 3 million. The total cost was 20 million. Long before the domestic film was released, it had already relied on overseas copyright sales. Profitable, now theater box office sales are pure profit.

Chen Siqi in the comment area @元江: "Teacher Yu, have the movies adapted from your works achieved such results? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, your works have not been adapted into movies, and I don't even know how the movie is played. , no wonder you can only watch the excitement as a layman, and you can’t eat grapes and say sour grapes.”

When Yu Jiang saw what Chen Siqi said, he was so angry that he almost dropped his phone.

"How can a young girl speak so meanly and viciously?" Yu Jiang's friend Jin Huixiu said immediately when she saw Yu Jiang's anger about to explode.

Yu Jiang sneered and said, "Girls of this age are really rude and have no tutoring."

"Well, don't blame her. After all, she didn't have a biological mother to discipline her since she was a child." Jin Huixiu said.

"Huh?" Yu Jiang was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Sister Jin, do you know her?"

"I don't know her, I just heard that her family has business connections with my husband." Jin Huixiu smiled and said: "I met her stepmother before, she is a person who is used to acting, you know , I’m the most annoyed by this kind of person, so we never interacted with him after meeting him once.”

Yu Jiang smiled and said, "Sister Jin, I am also the most annoyed by people like this, but every time I am ridiculed by this girl, I get angry just thinking about it. I really want to find a way to cure her."

Jin Huixiu glanced at her and said, "What are you doing with a young girl like this? She is so proud now and speaks so loudly. In a few years, when she encounters some problems, her temper will naturally improve, and someone will teach her a lesson. Yes, you, a great writer, extend this hand.”

"Hey, Sister Jin, I have been provoked by her over and over again. How can I hold back my anger?" Yu Jiang said immediately.

Jin Huixiu: "I can't help you with this."

When Yu Jiang heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

But Jin Huixiu is not someone she can offend yet. They can't help her, and she can't throw her face away.

"Okay, then I'll figure it out myself." Yu Jiang sighed, looking helpless and pitiful.

-

On Sunday, the box office of "Three Mountains" dropped slightly again, with a daily box office of only 13 million yuan. The first weekend box office reached 48 million yuan, almost exceeding 50 million yuan.

Although this figure is not enough for the entire film market, "Three Mountains" still celebrates its own.

Every time the number exceeds 10 million, a celebratory poster will be sent out.

Judging from this, "Three Mountains" is already expected to exceed 60 million in total box office.

This number is enough to shock the industry. After all, this movie doesn't have a single star in the lead role, and the production cost was only 17 million.

Lu Yanhe is also very happy. He has no specific expectations for how high the box office will be. He only hopes that the projects he participates in will at least not lose money.

No matter how much he pursues art and ideals, Lu Yanhe never wants things to turn into losing money and making money.

Wang Zhongdu said that everyone said that he was an art film director, but he controlled the budget very carefully for every movie, and he wished he could break one dollar into two dollars, just to reduce the pressure of making back the money and let him spend more money. Investors can make a little profit.

He is not the kind of director who only cares about making the movie he wants to make after receiving investment, regardless of the life and death of the investor.

Fortunately, the cost of each of his films is not high, and he can sell copyrights internationally, so the investors have never lost money. Basically, each film can make a profit from the subsequent long-term copyright income. It's just that the profit is not much.

"Three Mountains" is the most profitable film since Wang Zhong became a director.

The overseas copyright income has now reached 20 million, and the current domestic theater box office is expected to make another 20 million.

In addition to the copyright sales of video platforms, TV stations and other aspects, the expected income of this film can reach more than 50 million.

For a film with a production cost of only 17 million, it is a very high profit.

Industry analysts attribute the success of this film to Wang Zhong's award at the West Tuer Film Festival and Lu Yanhe's participation.

Because of the success of the movie "Three Mountains" in the theater box office, Director Wang Zhong also gained a group of new fans.

His previous movies also ushered in a wave of new viewers on the video platform, bringing him new income sharing.

At this time, Lu Yanhe received a bonus from Chen Ling, totaling 5 million.

Lu Yanhe was shocked.

Chen Ziyan was even more surprised when she heard this.

"Although the revenue of this movie is about 50 million, it will take half a year to get so much money back, and the majority of it will be divided among Sanhe and his team. Chen Ling and Wang Zhong's production company will not get half of it." Chen Ziyan said, "They are really generous."

Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Ziyan, should we return the money?"

"No need, this is what you deserve. Without you, how can we sell such a high box office." Chen Ziyan said.

"This bonus...should I report it to the company? How much will it be divided?"

"Actually, if you don't say anything, no one will say anything, but for the sake of insurance, in order to avoid more troubles in the future, I think you should divide it with the company according to the contract. Anyway, based on the money you earn every year, the current split with the company is 7:3, and you take the majority."

"Okay."

The reason why Chen Ziyan suggested Lu Yanhe to do this is to avoid future troubles.

Bonuses are, after all, a supplement to the pay, because they are paid for starring in this movie.

From the terms of the contract signed between Lu Yanhe and the company, it is a borderline area and can be covered by the film remuneration and related income. It can also be interpreted as a bonus paid by the producer and director of the production company for Lu Yanhe's personal performance outside the contract, which is of a private nature.

Chen Ziyan felt that there was no need to leave this hidden danger. The main reason was that Lu Yanhe was very popular now and would become more popular in the future. The contract between him and Star Entertainment could be renegotiated and re-signed within a year. There was no need to leave a handle at this time.

The week after "Three Mountains" was released, on a weekday, one night, after finishing work early, Liu Bige invited everyone to watch "Three Mountains".

Lu Yanhe booked a theater and invited everyone to watch this movie.

Because of filming before, they had not seen this movie.

After watching the movie, everyone's expression when looking at Lu Yanhe changed.

He Qingqing was the first to say, "Lu Yanhe, I finally understand why everyone praises you as a genius. I filmed "Late Spring" with you, and I only thought you acted well, but not that well. The ten minutes you played in "Three Mountains" made my hair stand on end. How can you act so well?"

"I was shocked." Kong Fan was also dumbfounded and said, "I can't believe that you only spent one night to shoot this scene."

Lu Yanhe: "Okay, okay, stop praising me."

He was smiling.

Liu Bige patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder with his right hand and said, "You put a lot of pressure on me."

Lu Yanhe said, "Huh?"

Liu Bige said: "After watching "Three Mountains", I think my expectations of you are still too low. You still have a lot of potential to be tapped?"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Bige said: "In the future, each of your plays will start with at least ten lines."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe widened his eyes, "No way?"

Liu Bige nodded, looking excited, his eyes revealing enthusiasm, "You have to show this level of performance in "Late Spring"!"

Lu Yanhe: "...This is a rare opportunity."

"Are you saying that the script of "Late Spring" is not good?" Liu Bige asked.

"They are two completely different styles."

"But the extremes are the same." Liu Bige said, and then looked at Yan Lingyu and the others, "You are the same. Think about it. Maybe one year from now, you will see your performance on the big screen. What kind of mood do you hope the audience sitting in the cinema will have after watching this movie, and what kind of impression do you hope they will have of you? The protagonists of "Three Mountains" are all young people, about the same age as you. Can you leave a deep impression on the film industry like them?"

Yan Lingyu and Kong Fan looked at each other, seemingly lacking confidence.

Liu Bige said seriously: "Believe me, my requirements for you are no lower than those of Director Wang Zhong for them. Although I am just a new director and this is my first time making a movie, I know what a good movie is and what a good movie looks like. I tell you very clearly that "Late Spring" must be a movie that will go down in film history. How you perform will determine how you will go down in film history."

Liu Bige's words were powerful.

Lu Yanhe wanted to ask if it was a bit exaggerated, but when he saw the determined light in Liu Bige's eyes, he shut his mouth tactfully.

This moment was Liu Bige's directorial moment.

As an actor, if he didn't show support at this time, when would he show support? -
