Choose a day to become famous

When the filming of "Late Spring" was about to be completed, Jia Long suddenly came to visit the set.

His appearance excited the crew of "Late Spring".

Jia Long is one of the most popular movie stars at the moment. He has almost become a representative figure of a style and one of the most box office movie stars.

Such an actor is a dazzling existence for any film worker.

No one expected that Lu Yanhe was so familiar with Jia Long and that he would come to visit the set.

Lu Yanhe knew what everyone was thinking when he saw their eyes.

He couldn't explain it either. No, no, no, in fact, he was not very familiar with Jia Long. He just had a movie script to cooperate with Jia Long.

-

Jia Long actually came to communicate with Lu Yanhe about the play "Lost on Journey".

But he watched the filming on the spot and was shocked after seeing the performances of several people.

Before coming, Jia Long had not thought that the young actors in this movie were so good at acting.

He talked to Liu Bige and was even more shocked after knowing what the theme of the movie was. Because he found that this was a pure art film, without any compromise.

After Lu Yanhe finished work, Jia Long and Lu Yanhe left the crew together and went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Jia Long was surprised to ask why he took this movie.

"I saw that you wrote "Friends" and "Lost on Journey", which are stories that are more popular with the audience."

Lu Yanhe immediately understood what Jia Long meant.

Jia Long felt that since Lu Yanhe wrote stories about this, it meant that Lu Yanhe himself preferred this kind of life-like and relaxed stories, rather than the kind of movies shot by Liu Bige.

Jia Long did not look down on such movies, but felt that he did not match Lu Yanhe - at least from the aesthetic preferences he presented.

Lu Yanhe did not answer again, but asked: "Teacher Jia, if a movie of this theme came to you, would you act in it?"

Jia Long smiled and said: "I am old and I am still playing a teenager? The audience will feel uncomfortable watching it."

Of course, he knew that Lu Yanhe was referring to "this kind of movie", not the protagonist of this age, but just a joke.

"I will be very cautious." Jia Long said, "Unless I am particularly moved and want to act, I dare not act."

The word "dare not" has revealed a lot of information.

The current film market has put Jia Long in this position-if the movie he starred in does not break 1 billion, it is a failure.

In this case, he wants to take a film that does not take the largest box office as the first purpose, and there are many obstacles, such as partners, investors, people around him, etc.

Because a box office failure means a shadow on a box office myth, which will cast a shadow on other subsequent projects of this box office myth.

At the beginning, "Lost on Journey" was not optimistic and could not get the conditions that Jia Long wanted, which was due to this aspect.

People do not think that "Lost on Journey" can't make money, but that they can't make the money they expected, and the return on investment is too low.

Lu Yanhe basically does not experience the situation of "being helpless" now, but he can more or less understand Jia Long's difficulties.

He still remembers watching "Searchlight" starring Jia Long at the West Tull Film Festival. It was actually a movie that wanted to explore art, but it was still a black comedy with a lot of commercial processing.

"Okay, I won't tell you about this. I came here today to tell you about "Lost on Journey." Jia Long told him, "Northern Lights Video is willing to give me the conditions I want, but there is one thing, they hope to get the series development rights of this script."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"Ah?"

Jia Long said: "They want to develop "Lost on Journey" into a series, a series of road comedies."

Lu Yanhe didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.

This feeling... It's like someone has peeped into your secret.

Why does "Lost on Journey" have a high status in film history? First, it is because of its excellent film quality, and second, it is because its second film "Lost in Thailand" won the championship in the history of Chinese-language films, bringing Chinese-language films into the era of billion-dollar box office. Not only that, the subsequent "Lost in Hong Kong" still reaped more than 1 billion box office despite its poor reputation, and its popularity and appeal are amazing.

Lu Yanhe wants to write "Lost on Journey" because it is simple and textual, and it can be written into a script to make people feel exciting, and second, it can be continued to be written.

Unexpectedly, the people of Northern Lights Video have such a sharp vision that they can see at a glance that this movie can be developed into a series.

Jia Long saw Lu Yanhe's hesitation and thought that Lu Yanhe was unwilling, so he asked: "Are you unwilling?"

The copyright of this script is in Lu Yanhe's hands.

If Lu Yanhe is unwilling, it's hard to say.

Lu Yanhe: "No, it's not that I don't want to, but I have similar ideas about "Lost on Journey" and I already have ideas for a sequel."

Jia Long showed a surprised expression.

Lu Yanhe said: "Teacher Jia, I wanted to write the scripts for the first and second parts of Lost on Journey myself. As for the subsequent series, if they want to develop it, of course that's fine. I won't be involved in the specific script writing, but I can authorize them to shoot the sequel."

Jia Long breathed a sigh of relief, "That would be great if you are willing. I finally found a company willing to agree to my conditions and invest in us to produce this movie."

Lu Yanhe said: "Teacher Jia, do you want to be a director yourself?"

"What?" Jia Long was stunned.

Lu Yanhe said: "Have you found a suitable director?"

Jia Long hesitated, "It's true that it hasn't happened yet. However, I may still not be suitable for being a director. I have no idea in this regard."

This made Lu Yanhe a little surprised.

He would ask Jia Long if he wanted to be a director himself, mainly because of the series before "The Journey", the bald leading actor later became a director.

Lu Yanhe also knows that many actors actually have the idea of ​​becoming directors.

Only as a director can you control the entire drama and shoot the movie according to your own ideas.

For an actor like Jia Long, at this level, if he said he didn't want to be a director, it would be something that Lu Yanhe couldn't understand at once.

Jia Long explained, "Being a director is too worrying. I just want to take care of my own acting matters."

Lu Yanhe nodded knowingly.

If that's the case, it's understandable.

Jia Long smiled and said, "Director, let's watch it slowly. Don't be in a hurry. Now that we have finally secured the investment, we can start building a team later."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

-

When Northern Lights Video found out that the screenwriter of "People on the Road" turned out to be Lu Yanhe, they were all a little confused.

Northern Lights Video itself is negotiating a cooperation agreement with Lu Yanhe. What they are interested in is Lu Yanhe's talent as a sitcom screenwriter and his appeal as an actor.

Unexpectedly, the script that the investment department was interested in was actually written by Lu Yanhe.

Lin Desheng has been keeping an eye on Lu Yanhe's affairs personally. For this reason, the matter was quickly reported to Lin Desheng.

Lin Desheng was also shocked by the news.

He knew that this kid Lu Yanhe could do anything, but he didn't expect that this kid could do so much.

Quietly, he actually came up with another movie script, and he had already been connected with Jia Long.

Lin Desheng personally went to the set of "Late Spring" to meet Lu Yanhe.

As the helmsman of Northern Lights Video, Lin Desheng is different from many executives in that he attaches great importance to face-to-face communication with creators.

Lu Yanhe is not a special case. As long as he is a creator whom Lin Desheng values, he will take time to meet and chat.

When Lam Desheng arrived on the set of "Late Spring", unlike Jia Long, he was not a public figure after all, and few people on the "set" knew him.

But Liu Bige specifically stopped filming to receive him, which made the crew realize that this person had a distinguished background. When they inquired about it, they learned that he was actually the boss of Northern Lights Video. They all looked sideways and were even more shocked by Lu Yanhe's connections.

How should I put it? For some people, he is very popular. He is so popular that everyone will avoid his sharpness when they see him.

But this is only temporary. People who have been in this circle for a long time will naturally know that being popular is one aspect of strength, but on the other hand, it depends on what circle you are in and what you usually associate with. Such people.

Everyone knows that Lu Yanhe is now very strong. However, no matter how strong the momentum is, he is just a young actor in his early twenties. Although many people call him a genius and pursue him extremely, when has the entertainment industry lacked such a high-profile newcomer?

For the crew of "Late Spring", the frequent online searches of Lu Yanhe were not as shocking as the visit of Jia Long and Lin Desheng to visit Lu Yanhe.

To use a well-known saying, "Everyone who understands understands."

What did you actually understand? There's no way to tell it clearly.

-

Lin Desheng chatted with Liu Bige for about fifteen minutes. He found out that the latter had signed a contract with Longyan Pictures. It was a pity, but he also said: "If there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, let's have a good chat."

Liu Bige nodded.

Faced with such a big boss of a video website, even though Liu Bige is a director of movies, he doesn’t dare to look down on him and treat him poorly——

Judging from the current development of streaming media abroad, streaming media may become the largest broadcast platform for movies in the future.

Of course Liu Bige wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Desheng.

Furthermore, Longyan Pictures is also on the production side, not the channel side.

As one of the largest video platforms in China, Northern Lights Video cannot be offended by anyone who creates content.

After Lin Desheng finished chatting with Liu Bige, he and Lu Yanhe went to his lounge.

"They gave me the script of "The Man on the Road" and told me that you wrote the script, but they shocked me." Lin Desheng smiled and shook his head, "No wonder you communicated with us about the cooperation framework of Northern Lights Video In it, it should be clear that it is a long-form video series, not a film and television production. "

Lu Yanhe raised the corners of his mouth implicitly and said a little shyly, "This is my first time writing a movie script, and I don't know how well it goes, so I made an agreement with Teacher Jia not to reveal my identity as a screenwriter."

Lin Desheng said: "Now that you have "Six People" in hand, will anyone still question your ability as a screenwriter?"

"There is a difference between TV series and movies." Lu Yanhe explained with a smile, "But I didn't expect that this script would go around and find the Northern Lights."

Lin Desheng also smiled, very happily, and said, "This shows that we are indeed destined."

He asked: "In this movie... you don't seem to have prepared a role for yourself? Or do you want to break through and challenge yourself, playing the role of the rural boy Niugeng?"

Lu Yanhe said: "I won't challenge myself. The image is very inappropriate. I just plan to play the role of the college student."

Lin Desheng was a little surprised, "Generally actors and screenwriters will write the protagonist for themselves, but you didn't do this? Why?"

Lu Yanhe said: "Because there is no protagonist suitable for me in this story. If I write a protagonist according to my image, no matter who replaces me, there will be no such antagonistic effect as shown in the current script. What this story requires is a shrewd character." Only a successful person and a simple ordinary farmer can collide with so many laughter and reflections in this context. "

Lin Desheng looked at Lu Yanhe with a bit of praise and appreciation in his eyes.

Because of his work, Lin Desheng often has to deal with all kinds of young people. Over the course of a year, he gets to know many talented young people.

He has seen talented young people, not to say that they are like crucian carp crossing the river, but there are definitely many more talented young people than many people think. However, it is too rare to have a clear understanding at such an age - especially the more talented young people. Generally speaking, the more talented a person is, the harder it is for him to have a clear understanding of himself. This is a helpless but common fact. The so-called "genius disease".

Lin Desheng said to Lu Yanhe: "Yan He, you guys brought it up, actors belong to actors, screenwriters belong to screenwriters, everyone has their own opinion, there is no problem with this, but I still want to make it clear to you in person, I want to sign such a contract with you The cooperation framework, firstly, I want to cooperate with you for a long time, and secondly, I hope you can create an evergreen series for Northern Lights Video that can last for at least three years. I won’t tell you that the current video platform. It's all about burning money to grab share, and it's basically a loss-making business. But why are people still pouring money into it in this case? Because everyone knows that there is a huge market and interests behind it. A blockbuster work becomes popular for a while, or half a year, and brings a surging audience and cash flow to the platform, and then it stops. No one knows where the next blockbuster work will be or when it will come. As a platform, this is not sustainable.”

"In my opinion, the biggest advantage of "Six People" is not that it became a hit and brought the ratings of a traditional TV station like Beijing and Taiwan back to life. The key is that it has such a model, one episode is broadcast a week, and only eight episodes per season. If the series is written according to this framework, it can even be written for three or five seasons. It means an evergreen tree for a platform and can bring stable and visible returns. "

When Lu Yanhe heard what Lin Desheng said, he thought to himself, Mr. Lin, you really underestimated him.

Its prototype has been filmed for more than ten seasons seriously. It has become popular from the TV era to the Internet era, and continues to make money in the streaming media era. It is the most representative sitcom.

However, of course he couldn't tell Lin Desheng at this time that "Party of Six" could be filmed for such a long time and become popular for such a long time. Besides, he has nothing to do with the sequel to "Six".

"I hope you can bring such a work to the Northern Lights," said Desheng Lam.

"Mr. Lin, to be honest, I am indeed preparing another sitcom." Lu Yanhe said, "However, it is very different from "Six People"."

Lin Desheng looked at him in surprise.

"In my mind, it covers a wider audience than "Six"." Lu Yanhe said, "Of course I am willing to work with Northern Lights on this sitcom, but I hope that it will not only be a web drama, but also a sitcom in Northern Lights. Solo broadcast.”

"Do you want it to adopt the broadcast mode of "Six People"?" Lin Desheng's expression immediately changed.

"Six People" has not yet been sold to online platforms and is still broadcast exclusively in Beijing and Taiwan.

All the major video sites are jealous.

Lu Yanhe shook his head: "Of course not. The reason why "Six People" is broadcast on Beijing and Taiwan is because it was originally designed to save ratings. What I mean is that it was broadcast on the TV station first and then on the Internet. It was broadcast exclusively on the TV station at night and was launched on Northern Lights at noon the next day. "

"Why do you do this? Do you think the audience on the current video platform is not large enough?"

"No, it's because this sitcom... I hope it can be truly enjoyed by audiences ranging from eighty to ten years old. Users of video platforms cannot reach such a wide audience." Lu Yanhe said, "I know, if I say this now, you will definitely feel that you are overestimating your capabilities, but I wrote this script with such ambition, and I believe it can be done."

Lin Desheng was silent.

"Moreover, Mr. Lin, this drama will not affect the performance of the video platform because of the broadcast on the TV station. There will definitely be many people willing to watch it over and over again, just like "Six People"." Lu Yanhe said.

"Then can you briefly tell me the story of this new sitcom you created?"

Seeing Lin Desheng relent, Lu Yanhe also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's called "Wulin Gaiden". It's a sitcom with ancient costumes and non-traditional martial arts. The story develops in a place called Tongfu Inn..."

Helan habitually searches for information about Lu Yanhe on the Internet.

Even though he has become her junior student, she can often see Lu Yanhe on campus. She also has Lu Yanhe's contact information and can contact him directly.

However, Helan has developed the habit of searching for Lu Yanhe on the Internet from time to time.

Sometimes you can search for a lot of interesting content.

Of course, the most important thing is that as Lu Yanhe's number one fan, Helan feels that she has the obligation to help Lu Yanhe monitor various public opinions and do a good job of clarifying and explaining.

This has also become her greatest pleasure after her busy study life.

On this day, a netizen who is also a fan of Lu Yanhe suddenly sent her a URL and said: Lanlan, this is a forum I accidentally found. Many people expose some information in this forum. Today someone mentioned Yanhe. Take a look.

Helan first asked "Is it a rumor?" before opening the URL.

Before the URL was opened, the other party replied: It doesn't look like it.

This is an online forum called "Spring Buds". The page setting is very rough. It doesn't look like a website forum made now. It's more like something made ten or twenty years ago.

As a result, a pop-up window suddenly popped up, showing that she must register to view relevant content.

She had to register first, and then she saw the content of this post.

[Revelation] Lin Desheng, the CEO of Northern Lights Video, went to the crew of "Late Spring" to meet Lu Yanhe today. They talked in Lu Yanhe's lounge for nearly two hours before coming out. No one knew what they were talking about. It was rumored that Northern Lights Video would cooperate with Lu Yanhe before, and now it seems to be a done deal.

Such a message, but below it it shows "The remaining content requires 1 bud coin to read".

Helan was stunned, and clicked in according to the recharge prompt, and found that one dollar could buy ten bud coins.

It's not very expensive, but... Helan has never seen such a forum, and it costs money to read a revelation post!

If it were normal, Helan would directly think that this was a scam website, but based on the previous content, Helan didn't think it was a scam, and it didn't seem to be made up.

Anyway, it's not expensive.

Helan recharged one dollar first.

Choose to buy.

The remaining content is displayed:

- I have some guesses, of course, these are not random guesses, they are summarized based on some information I know, but don't blame me if I guess wrong in the end. Guess one, Northern Lights Video should want to cooperate with Lu Yanhe on a new sitcom. I heard that Lu Yanhe is creating a new sitcom, but there is no news about what type it is. As we all know, the big bomb of "Friends" at the beginning of the year made every platform jealous, so it is normal for Northern Lights Video to be interested. Guess two, I know that Northern Lights may want to discuss a long-term cooperation framework with Lu Yanhe. Northern Lights Video is the platform that likes to sign long-term cooperation framework agreements with some creators they are optimistic about. I heard that Mr. Lin privately expressed his appreciation for Lu Yanhe to others. In fact, many people may not know that Mr. Lin once went to Lu Yanhe's agency, Xingyu, and Lu Yanhe was invited to have a discussion with Mr. Lin. At that time, Mr. Lin liked Lu Yanhe very much, but Lu Yanhe was not very popular at that time, and not many people paid attention to him.

After reading this long paragraph, Helan felt more and more that this person must know something and was not spreading rumors.

She immediately took a screenshot and prepared to send it to Lu Yanhe.

As a result, this seemingly extremely rough forum actually pointed out: screenshots are not allowed in the background.

? ?

Helan thought, what's the point of not allowing screenshots? In this era of advanced equipment, if you don't let me take screenshots, can I still take photos?

She immediately logged into the forum through her laptop, opened the corresponding page, took photos with her mobile phone, sent the photos to Lu Yanhe, and then explained the basic situation to him.

Helan did these things not for anything else, but hoped that if there was any information, Lu Yanhe would know it at the first time, so as not to fall into a passive position. However, Helan couldn't tell what this information would be like, but she only knew that it must have been posted by someone in the circle.

She immediately became curious about this website called "Spring Bud".

After exiting the post about Lu Yanhe's revelations, she started to browse this forum with great interest.

After browsing, she found that, wow! There are really a lot of materials!

Some people said that there was an actress in the circle who advertised that she had never been in love and was single, but in fact she had a history of marriage. There were countless speculations under the post, but the whistleblower refused to reveal his real name.

Someone said that there was an actor who seemed to be very affectionate with his girlfriend, but he was very playful in private, and he just pretended to be a good man in front of the camera. His girlfriend had two abortions for him.

Helan was fascinated by it.

Mainly because these materials did not seem to be fabricated - the most unethical part of this "Spring Bud" forum emerged, and each account was followed by a "credibility" percentage.

In short, every message posted by an account will be followed by someone for a long time. Once it is exposed to be true, or it is officially stamped and certified by the forum, it will be counted as a real revelation. On the contrary, if it is verified to be false, the credibility will be deducted. Of course, there are many "unknown true or false" messages, which will not be included in the statistics for the time being.

A very common calculation rule gives the user who broke the news the word "credibility". When the "credibility" exceeds 70%, the information revealed by this user is easily considered to be true by everyone.

Helan suddenly saw a revelation from five days ago, which said "Lu Yanhe is not single".

Just one sentence.

But this ID called "Wooden Man" is 100% credible.

Helan's heart skipped a beat.

She clicked on the homepage of "Wooden Man" to see other revelations about this person, but it turned out that her level was too low to view the homepage of "Wooden Man".

Helan was very angry.

She took a photo of the revelations and sent them to Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe never replied.

-

He was filming and his phone was given to Zou Donglai to manage.

The scene to be filmed tonight is about him running away from home because his parents quarreled over divorce and he ran into Yan Lingyu who had escaped from home.

In the movie, this is actually a small climax.

Liu Bige said: "I want to make this scene a breath of the whole movie. Your encounter, escape, etc. should be warm, romantic, and exciting. In this whole scene, I want to have the feeling of finally seeing freedom after holding back for a long time."

He spoke in a mysterious way. This time, not only Yan Lingyu didn't understand clearly, but Lu Yanhe was also confused.

Liu Bige: "It's okay, let's shoot first. I can't explain it clearly."

He is becoming more and more willful on the set now.

Liu Bige had already told them that they should be prepared to shoot all night tonight.

"I want the kind of fatigue and excitement you feel when you stay up all night, that feeling and state."

Lu Yanhe and Yan Lingyu have already gotten used to Liu Bige's requirements.

It doesn't matter if they don't fully understand it, just act first.

There are no shots of other people in this scene, but Kong Fan, He Qingqing and others came to watch.

Everyone really wants to see how this scene is shot.

Lu Yanhe has fully seen how much Liu Bige can wear people down, but this night, he was still worn down by Liu Bige and wanted to quit.

It's not that he couldn't shoot, but for a scene where he ran across the street, Liu Bige asked him to run about 20 times. When he said it was over, Lu Yanhe asked him how different his movements were in the last one that made him feel it was OK.

A scene without lines and not much performance actually had to be filmed more than 20 times.

As a result, Liu Bige's answer made Lu Yanhe want to flip the table even more.

Liu Bige said: "I just want your last shot to be sweaty on your forehead and nose, your cheeks and nose are a little red, your eyes are a little tired, and your exhaled breath is white."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Filming with Liu Bige, he really makes you lose your temper.

In the early morning, Kong Fan and the others couldn't stand it anymore and went back to sleep.

But Lu Yanhe and the others had to stick to the set and continue filming.

Liu Bige filmed him seeing Yan Lingyu and seeing Yan Lingyu in a mess and with injuries on his body. He re-filmed about 20 times. After an hour, he asked Lu Yanhe for a close-up of his eyes.

But this time Lu Yanhe really had nothing to say.

When he finally raised his eyes and saw Yan Lingyu in the camera, the deep and gloomy look in his eyes was interwoven with surprise, regret and sympathy in the night. Liu Bige waited for this look for an hour, but it was worth it.

Even Yan Lingyu said that the last look was good.

This is not something that can be controlled by technology. It is really polished line by line to find the most subtle critical point of the eye emotion.

The shooting lasted until four o'clock in the morning. Lu Yanhe saw Yan Lingyu sitting aside waiting for the scene, and his eyelids were almost unable to lift up. He took the initiative to say: "Director, do you want to continue shooting today? I feel that if I continue shooting, I can't concentrate."

When Liu Bige heard what Lu Yanhe said, he turned around and looked around, as if he was particularly excited about the shooting. Everyone was actually very sleepy.

He said: "Then let's call it a day and continue shooting tomorrow."

The staff all cast thankful eyes to Lu Yanhe.

It was only at this time that Lu Yanhe saw the message sent to him by Helan.

Lu Yanhe didn't think much of the first news about Lin Desheng, and he didn't think that his cooperation with Northern Lights should be kept secret.

But the second news that he was not single surprised him.

This person was so decisive that Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

Especially the long paragraph about the "Spring Bud" forum sent by Helan, knowing that the ID "Wooden Man" has 100% "credibility", in the eyes of forum users, this news can almost be confirmed as 100% true.

This forced Lu Yanhe to face a question, should he make his relationship with Chen Siqi public?

Not public, because he didn't want to hurt Chen Siqi. But it seemed that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't intend to hide it. Why so half-hidden, or just make it public.

This thought popped up in Lu Yanhe's mind and could never be shaken off.

Before Lu Yanhe fell asleep, he was still thinking about the feasibility of this matter in his mind.

-

Lu Yanhe slept until noon before waking up.

After waking up, he felt sore in his back and waist. He usually didn't stay up late, but he felt very uncomfortable after staying up late. He felt like he couldn't wake up.

He brushed his teeth and washed his face with his eyelids drooping. He picked up his phone and found that Chen Ziyan had left him a message saying that she would pick him up at 2 pm.

We have something to talk about.

Lu Yanhe looked at the time and it was already 12:30 pm.

He hadn't even had lunch yet. (End of this chapter)
