Choose a day to become famous

On the crew of "River of Silence", there are also many people who are following "Seventeenth Floor".

The main reason is that "Seventeenth Floor" is broadcast weekly. Even if they are filming another drama, they can still catch up on this drama during their busy schedule.

As the plot unfolds, the genius played by Lu Yanhe and the female gangster played by Chen Bige gradually become tacit and cooperate with each other, leading everyone through dangerous levels again and again.

There is obviously no description of love between the two of them, but there are gradually more CP fans about them online.

This is actually the case with any film or television drama.

Any set of character relationships may have some strange sparks that may be considered CP by the audience.

Many times, the director and screenwriter didn't even think about it in this direction when shaping the relationship between the characters. However, as soon as the play was aired, it received a response far beyond their expectations.

"Seventeen Floors" certainly isn't.

As the male and female protagonists, Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige are the most critical pair of characters in this drama. Even if they are not a couple, they still have a lot of rivalry scenes.

In this process, many chemical reactions will naturally occur.

This is what the audience calls the sense of CP.

At the beginning of the play, Lu Yanhe was a bit out of place due to his genius disease and was unable to integrate into their group. At this time, it was Chen Bige who took more care of him. Later, Chen Bige was in danger, and everyone else was ready to give up on her, but he was the one who stubbornly insisted on saving her. In the play, there is a big age difference between the two people, and the fight was not shot in an ambiguous direction at all. To a certain extent, Teacher Feng Qiyue wrote the relationship between the two characters in the direction of "mutual redemption" .

This was also revealed in the ninth episode, when the past of the two was revealed in memory flashbacks, reaching an emotional high point.

Most of the staff of "River of Silence" are old people who have followed Chen Lingling in several dramas.

They know exactly how a play is made.

Even so, when they watched "Seventeen Floors", they were still easily moved by the plot.

What surprised them the most was Lu Yanhe's performance in "Seventeen Floors".

Unlike many other characters in the play, the character Lu Yanhe does not have any explosive, so-called highlight scenes.

His emotions are completely reserved and barely revealed. It seems that his role is not difficult to play - of course, he left a deep impression on the audience, but without knowing the details, the audience can easily think that this is because the character himself is the protagonist, not because of Lu Yanhe of acting skills. However, those who really understand drama will know that the reason why the role of Lu Yanhe is so impressive is because he used a lot of skill to create such a genius who is different from ordinary people, instead of playing a multi-faceted character with particularly ups and downs of emotions. sexual, complex characters.

-

"It is said that actors need to find rich and complex characters to play. It seems that only in this way can they show how superb an actor's acting skills are. In fact, this time "Seventeen Floors" also tells everyone that a character's image, A facial-like character performed to the extreme is equally successful and impressive.”

"TV Review" once again praised Lu Yanhe's performance in a review article about "Seventeen Floors".

"We don't want drama for drama's sake, nor characters for characters' sake. We have to accept that sometimes, a person just doesn't have so many faces. Whether a character can be deeply rooted in people's hearts, the key is still how the actor is. The character’s state is still being acted out.”

"It is said that it was difficult for Lu Yanhe to find an entry point when he first acted in this drama, because this type of role is not uncommon, and he was worried that his performance would be no different from others. It can be said that if Lu Yanhe has been struggling with this If not, then he will fall into self-doubt and denial like many actors who have the same pursuit, and at least give a bad performance in this drama and this role. However, for such a talented actor, when encountering... After seeing the problem, he immediately chose to give up his pursuit and chose to imitate as the second best option to ensure the effect of the character. "

"We have all seen many ambitious and talented actors pondering a role. They will not give up until they achieve their goals, and they will not survive until they are crazy. However, it seems difficult for us to see such an actor, because we have not found one yet. It’s a good way, so I just decided to imitate it and admit it openly.”

"Of course, now we have all seen that Lu Yanhe's performance in "Seventeen Floors" is still very good. He found a way of interpretation that belongs to him in the imitation of Lu Yanhe, which once again proved his talent in acting. "

…

The "TV Review" review article's praise of Lu Yanhe took up a quarter of the article.

However, this article also directly pointed out that the possibility of Lu Yanhe winning an award in the drama "Seventeen Floors" is not high.

"The most promising award for Lu Yanhe for "The Seventeenth Floor" is the Golden Tripod Award. As we all know, the Golden Tripod Award pays more attention to audience reputation, while the Blue Ribbon Award is more artistic and the Red River Award is more mainstream. The subject matter of "The Seventeenth Floor" can basically distinguish itself from the latter two awards. But the Golden Tripod Award was already awarded in July, and the newly aired "The Seventeenth Floor" did not meet the application requirements. If "The Seventeenth Floor" wants to sprint for the Golden Tripod Award, it will have to wait until July next year. After a year, the current popularity of "The Seventeenth Floor" basically cannot play a role in escorting the drama. "The Seventeenth Floor" is also a group portrait drama. Although Lu Yanhe's performance is good, compared with other male protagonists, he still has less roles and room for performance, and the space for character performance is also limited."

"Compared with "The Seventeenth Floor", I am more optimistic that "The River of Silence" will bring Lu Yanhe the first Best Actor trophy."

...

No actor can avoid the matter of "winning awards".

Which actor doesn't want to win an award?

Lu Yanhe is very frank, he really wants to win one.

Since he started acting, the only award he has won is the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Golden Tripod Awards.

In fact, the importance of this award to Lu Yanhe has become very obvious in the past year.

Because of this award, Lu Yanhe can be called a "genius" without being mocked as "boasting". Because of this award, Lu Yanhe is now a representative of young actors who are strongly supported by the mainstream of the film and television industry. Including mainstream magazines such as "TV Review", they will escort him with an attitude of being a member of their own.

Awards for actors are simply the word "height".

This represents the industry's recognition of you.

Lu Yanhe has always said that he is not in a hurry to rush for awards, and it is also because he won the Golden Tripod Award at a young age, which is enough for him to lie for a few years, even until he is 30 years old. With this confidence, he can be in no hurry.

However, if he really hopes to win an award, of course he wants to.

Who would complain that he won an award too early?

-

That day, at the filming site of "The River of Silence", Lu Yanhe finished filming a scene and went to the director's tent to eat a box lunch.

Chen Lingling ate with him while holding a lunch box, and suddenly mentioned the award.

"Xiao Lu, I saw many people on the Internet discussing which drama you can win the Best Actor Award for." Chen Lingling said, "Many people say that "The River of Silence" may win you the first Best Actor trophy. What do you think?"

Lu Yanhe admitted generously and said, "If I can win the award, of course it would be great."

Seeing Lu Yanhe admit it, Chen Lingling also smiled and said, "But I have to tell you in advance that "The River of Silence" may not meet the application conditions for the major awards in our country."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned and didn't understand why.

Chen Lingling said, "The producer of our drama is Maxine, and the main production company is an overseas company. Although it should be broadcast in China in the future, it does not meet the application conditions for several major domestic awards."

Lu Yanhe reacted.

The crew of "The River of Silence" is basically Chen Lingling's own team. Maxine's people are rarely seen on the scene. Lu Yanhe even forgot that the investor and producer of this drama are the American streaming media company, and Chen Lingling's team is just the filmer of this work.

In this way, "The River of Silence" does not meet the application conditions for domestic awards.

"It's okay." Lu Yanhe smiled and shook his head, "It's of course a good thing to have the hope of winning an award, and it's okay if you can't win an award. I didn't take this drama just to win an award."

Chen Lingling nodded.

"Just know it in your heart."

She smiled again and said, "Of course, if our drama is well broadcast on Maxine, maybe you can impact overseas awards."

Chen Lingling's words made Lu Yanhe subconsciously shake his head and laugh.

This is difficult.

This is not for any other reason. It is purely because although "The River of Silence" is a drama invested and produced by Maxine, it is still a Chinese drama, not an English drama. Moreover, the cast is all Chinese. It is too difficult for such a drama to be liked by audiences all over the world.

If you don't have enough influence, it's basically impossible to get the attention of mainstream awards.

Lu Yanhe: "Director, I'm really not that obsessed with awards."

Chen Lingling, however, does care a little.

Although "Phoenix Tower" didn't win any awards at the Golden Tripod Awards that just ended, it received a lot of nominations, except for Lu Yanhe's nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Originally, everyone thought that this was a done deal.

Chen Lingling asked privately and found out that Lu Yanhe's performance in "Phoenix Tower" was remarkable, but because the role he played lacked character and was a bit more like a bloody ancient puppet, the judges felt that such a role was not worthy of another nomination for Lu Yanhe immediately, so he was not nominated.

Lu Yanhe previously won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor for "The Golden Age", which has become an obstacle for him to continue to win awards in the past two years.

This is of course understandable, but Chen Lingling herself feels a little bit sorry.

And because of the problems of investors and producers, the drama "Silent River" is also unlikely to compete for mainstream domestic awards.

-

Of course, this matter could not be hidden from the Internet masters who can dig up anything.

When many people were expecting that the drama "Silent River" could help Lu Yanhe win the Best Actor Award, someone immediately pointed this out.

"Silent River" does not meet the application qualifications for domestic awards.

For a time, many people felt sorry for this.

Then Lu Yanhe will have a hard time competing for mainstream awards in the next one to two years.

-

"It's a pity that "Silent River" can't win an award for Yanhe." Even Lu Qingzhen couldn't help but say to Chen Ziyan with regret.

Chen Ziyan: "Qingzhen, do you think it's a pity too?"

"Yeah." Lu Qingzhen nodded.

"That's great." Chen Ziyan smiled.

"Good?"

"Do you think that if Yanhe's performance in "Silent River" really reaches the level of winning an award, does he have a good chance of winning the award?" Chen Ziyan asked directly.

Lu Qingzhen was slightly stunned.

"Or to put it this way, in the past 20 years, has there been an actor under 30 years old who won the Best Actor Award in the three major TV drama awards?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Lu Qingzhen thought about it and shook her head, "No."

"So, even if Yan He's performance in "Silent River" is very good, he will most likely not be given the award because of his age. In our domestic awards, we still look at qualifications and age, especially for actors with extremely high popularity, the more difficult it is to win the award. After all, the mainstream awards in China are basically based on the jury system, with only seven or eight people deciding who will win the award. The more this is the case, the harder it is to break the routine and create miracles. Now, "Seventeenth Floor" and "Silent River" have created a public opinion atmosphere that it is a pity for Yan He not to win the award. If this public opinion atmosphere accumulates, it will become a boost for Yan He to win the award." Chen Ziyan said, "For Yan He at this stage, his acting skills are far from being superb, and he is far from being a god. It is a great honor to have such expectations and evaluations, and this trend alone."

Lu Qingzhen nodded.

"I understand now that you put it that way."

Chen Ziyan: "The main reason is that I didn't expect that everyone's expectations for Yan He have reached the point where he will definitely win an award as long as he plays a suitable drama. Yan He's popularity with the audience and passers-by always seems to exceed my expectations. Every time I raise my expectations by one point, the results will tell me that I still underestimated it."

Lu Qingzhen showed a helpless expression.

"After the broadcast of "Seventeen Layers", Yan He's blood is thicker than those of the thickest people in China." Lu Qingzhen said directly, "To be honest, actors make a living by roles, and some can make a living from one role for a lifetime. I don't know if Yan He can make a living from these few dramas, but these few years are definitely enough. The character filters of these dramas are enough for Lu Yan He to make a living for a few years. Just the role in "The Golden Age" is very popular online now. When many marketing accounts talk about the characters of young boys and best boyfriends, they still use Yan He's role in "The Golden Age" as an example, which is enough to see how big the filter is for this role." Chen Ziyan: "After "The River of Silence" is broadcast, Yan He will be given another role filter. The role he plays is too miserable, so miserable that it makes people feel distressed." At this time, Chen Ziyan's phone rang. "Sister Ziyan, Liu Bige called me just now and said that "Late Spring" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival."

"Ah——" Chen Ziyan, who had just said "Every time I improve one point, the result will tell me that I still underestimated it", exclaimed, scaring Lu Qingzhen who was sitting opposite her.

"Has the news been announced?"

"It will be announced immediately." Lu Yanhe said, "Liu Bige just received the news, and he was not sure whether it was the main competition unit before."

Chen Ziyan felt like she was hit by happiness at this moment.

When Lu Yanhe was going to play "Late Spring", Chen Ziyan really didn't dare to think about what such a low-cost art film could bring to Lu Yanhe.

After hanging up the phone, the bright smile on Chen Ziyan's face surprised Lu Qingzhen.

"What good news makes you so excited?"

Chen Ziyan said: "Yanhe's "Late Spring" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival."

Lu Qingzhen showed a look of surprise.

"Really? So awesome, I... Damn, Yan He is so lucky." Lu Qingzhen didn't know what to say for a moment, "Once this news comes out, it will probably explode again. I still remember when the news of this movie came out, how many people laughed at Lu Yanhe for taking such a low-cost small movie just to play the leading role in the movie. There were many voices of pessimism at that time." "I didn't expect that "Late Spring" would be shortlisted for the main competition in Venice." Chen Ziyan said, "When Yan He said he wanted to act in this movie, I also said, don't put too much hope on this movie, dark horses don't come out so easily, and now I realize that I was also slapped in the face." Lu Qingzhen: "Is this director Liu Bige's first movie? "Yes." Chen Ziyan said, "Generally speaking, the first feature film of a newcomer will not enter the main competition unit directly, but will start from the Horizon unit or other units. The four major film festivals are all like this."

"Liu Bige has a background in the French film industry, and maybe someone is behind it." Lu Qingzhen said, "The selection of films in the main competition unit is not based on the higher quality of the film. Many people who don't know the film festival think so, but it's not the case. Don't you know the situation?"

"I know that the selection of films in the main competition unit will consider factors such as the director's popularity, the influence of the main creative staff, the continent and country where they are located, etc. It doesn't mean that the films selected in the main competition unit are better than those selected in other units. However, we must admit that under the current system, the main competition unit is the facade and cornerstone of a film festival. Being selected in the main competition and not being selected are two different things after all."

Lu Qingzhen: "I know, what I mean is that although Liu Bige is a new director, he has a background in the French film industry, and his first film was selected in It is not so outrageous that he was not selected to participate in the Venice International Film Festival. The most important thing is that Lu Yanhe is really lucky. He is strong and talented. Who else can be as lucky as him? He won every project he chose. He never missed a film. In March this year, "Three Mountains" made him shine at the West Tuer Film Festival. Now he has gone to Venice. I think he will become a regular at international film festivals in the future. "

Chen Ziyan: "I wish you good luck. I also hope that this will happen."

She suddenly thought of something and smiled. "At the beginning, I planned to give him more guest appearances in big-budget and big-director movies during his four years in college. He would brush up his resume in these four years and make it more beautiful. After graduation, he would go all out. I didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes. "

"It's because your actor is too good. He is the child of destiny." Lu Qingzhen said with a smile.

-

Just as Lu Qingzhen said, when the news that the movie "Late Spring" starring Lu Yanhe was shortlisted for the main competition unit of this Venice International Film Festival came out, it was like a bomb that shook the entire entertainment industry.

Everyone still remembers this movie starring Lu Yanhe.

It was filmed in March. At that time, many people ridiculed Lu Yanhe for this, not understanding why Lu Yanhe wanted to play such a low-cost art film when "Friends" was a big hit. Some even directly ridiculed Lu Yanhe for lowering his status to play such a newcomer's new work in order to enter the film industry and play the leading role in the movie.

Among them, some of Lu Yanhe's fans also did not understand, and ran to Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe's Weibo to express their dissatisfaction, hoping that they would give up this filming plan.

At that time, these storms were all over the city.

As a result, a few months later, the film was now reported to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival.

-

As soon as the news came out, Lu Yanhe received congratulations from the crew of "The River of Silence".

Lu Yanhe said thank you countless times.

Huang Cheng even ordered a large bouquet of flowers for him and gave it to him in front of the entire crew, with a small congratulatory card on it.

Lu Yanhe was flattered and embarrassed, saying, "Mr. Huang, I'm just nominated, why did you send me such a large bouquet of flowers!"

"Being nominated is already amazing. We only have two Chinese-language films nominated for the main competition unit this year, and "Late Spring" starring you is one of them. This is something that all of us should be proud of." Huang Cheng said, "Bring us a trophy when the time comes, and we will celebrate your success again."

Lu Yanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I'm not sure I can go now that I'm inconvenient to move."

Huang Cheng asked in surprise, "Will your condition not recover by September?"

"It's hard to say. I still feel a little strenuous walking now. It's okay to walk a few steps, but if I walk a few more steps, I will tear the wound and it will hurt." Lu Yanhe was also a little helpless.

He also told Liu Bige about this situation.

Logically speaking, as the leading actor of "Late Spring", especially the only big star, he should accompany the crew to attend.

But Lu Yanhe's current situation is rather special.

Liu Bige said: "If you are unable to move, I will find someone to carry you over."

This is of course just a joke.

Huang Cheng said: "The filming of our play must be postponed, and it cannot be finished for the time being."

Lu Yanhe heard this and showed a regretful expression, and asked: "What should I do? I, I will start school in September, and I have a lot of classes this month."

Huang Cheng said: "We have already found a location in Yuming. During this period, we will speed up the time to give priority to your scenes here. When the scenes that can be filmed in Yuming are moved to Yuming, we will shoot them when you are not in class. If we can't finish the filming, we can only make up for it later."

"Is this a great burden for you?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Huang Cheng: "We can only try to remedy this accident. We have also communicated with Maxine. They sent someone to evaluate this matter. They are satisfied with the materials we shot and edited in the early stage. In addition, thanks to you, "The River of Silence" has been very popular in China recently. Many platforms are vying for the copyright, which makes them pay attention to this drama. Therefore, they will add another sum of money for reshooting. It is a blessing in disguise."

"That's good." Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't want to affect the filming of this drama.

Huang Cheng: "Maxine was surprised at your strong appeal in our country. When they were doing investigations and evaluations, they found that your appeal in our country was even stronger than the information they had received before. They asked me why. I said that it was because you have been very strong in the past two years. Every few months, your appeal and influence will increase a lot. They were stunned and extremely surprised at your rising speed. They also said that even in the United States, they have never seen an actor like you who has hit several dramas in a row."

"They are very interested in you. Maybe they will contact you in a while." Huang Cheng said, "Although they cannot officially enter our mainland market, they have always been interested in the development of Chinese dramas and are also interested in working with top, first-line Chinese actors."

Lu Yanhe said: "I met their people once before, and the feeling of that meeting was not very good." (End of this chapter)
