Choose a day to become famous

Lu Yanhe sat in his chair, watching the movie "Late Spring" seriously. This was also the first movie in which he played the leading role.

Although, since he started acting, he has been very successful and has not experienced the stage where many actors can only play supporting roles and cannot get the leading role, so the mentality of playing the leading role or the supporting role is not much different.

But the leading role always has more scenes.

The perspective of the whole movie is also mainly based on the perspective of his character.

This feeling is still different.

As the movie started, from the first shot, Lu Yanhe saw himself standing in a narrow bathroom, washing his hair in silence.

In the play, his mother's voice came, saying: "I signed you up for a cram school."

He paused in his bathing action.

The camera shot his side and back.

On the big screen, the expression on his face was almost invisible, but his back had already revealed some information.

This boy didn't seem very happy. But, of course, teenagers are always melancholy. At this age, it is often the case.

In the dark space, Lu Yanhe saw himself close to reality appear on such a big screen for the first time.

In "Three Mountains", his character modeling made him look very different in the movie from usual. Because of this difference, he focused on the performance of this character when watching the movie.

But "Late Spring" is different. The first shot clearly reminded him that this is himself.

Lu Yanhe felt a thrill of excitement for no reason.

And when he came to his senses, the movie had been playing for more than 20 minutes.

-

Liu Bige's shots are very clean and leisurely, without the blurred, dizzy, and gloomy shots of many art films.

If Lu Yanhe finds a comparable director, he thinks he is very similar to Director Hirokazu Koreeda who shot "Our Little Sister".

However, Liu Bige's movies are not as slow as those of Director Hirokazu Koreeda.

His shots switch a lot and very quickly. Most of the time, he is not so keen on long shots.

This greatly reduces the difficulty of watching.

-

Lu Yanhe already knows this story too well, but Liu Bige edited it to make Lu Yanhe feel a sense of freshness of "deja vu".

He couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

Only actors can combine the two words "deja vu" and "freshness" together.

Shooting is one thing, editing is another.

No wonder it is said that movies are the work of directors. When Lu Yanhe looks at this work now, many places are different from his thoughts when shooting.

Every boy and girl on the screen seems to be better looking than the real person he has seen.

This good-looking does not refer to the changes in their image and facial features, but a sense of atmosphere.

-

There are many classics in the history of movies about adolescence.

This is also a long-lasting theme.

And in these movies, almost all of them have experienced huge changes and pains of growth.

If you want to talk about melodrama, there is no one that is not melodramatic.

But why can some movies become classics with melodrama, while others are just melodrama?

The subtlety is difficult to explain in words.

But after all, it comes down to the difference between feeling good after watching it and feeling bad after watching it.

When Lu Yanhe ran out of his home and ran wildly on the street at midnight, the picture on the big screen turned into a flowing river of light and shadow as Lu Yanhe ran.

The sadness, anger, and confusion in his eyes intertwined with the night, looking over from the huge screen, looking at everyone in the audience.

At this moment, his eyes seemed to travel through time and space, penetrating through this screen.

The entire screening room was silent, and everyone held their breath.

Even Lu Yanhe himself was surprised to see the scene in front of him.

He had never seen this shot before, and he had no idea that Liu Bige had captured such a moment when he was acting.

-

The golden, warm sunlight flows like a river in the world.

When the movie ended in a classroom covered with sunlight like the tranquility after the hustle and bustle, the end credits began to play, and the interlude sung by Song Linxin sounded softly, and the screening room was still quiet.

The screening ended, and the lights in the screening room came on.

Lin Yu raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

She didn't know if it was because of her filter, this movie, like a youth prose, cruelly cut open her heart with a seemingly calm plain poetry, grabbing the most hidden pain in her heart.

She turned her head to look at Tom Wynn and Marion Tucci. Their expressions were still serious, and they wrote something in their little notebooks with an unshakable seriousness.

Suddenly, applause rang out from somewhere.

Lin Yu turned her head in surprise, and when she turned her head, the applause had spread like a spark.

Many people stood up and started to applaud.

Lin Yu knew that at the film festival, after the film was over, the audience would often applaud.

This almost became a ritual.

But at this moment, Lin Yu could also clearly feel that this was not a ceremonial applause.

She heard a white-haired man cupping his hands like a trumpet and shouting: "Bravo!"

Director Liu Bige and other creators sitting in the first row stood up, turned around, and faced the audience.

Linyu was the first to look at Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe also found her first with his eyes.

He asked with his mouth: "How is it?"

Linyu pursed her lips, raised her thumb, nodded, and told him the answer with her expression.

Lu Yanhe smiled with relief.

He turned to look at Yan Lingyu, Yu Lang and others. Each of them showed a smile that was a little excited, a little excited, and a little unbelievable, just like a child who came to the amusement park for the first time, and couldn't help being shy like standing on the podium for the first time.

In his mind, every bit of Liu Bige and them filming emerged.

Many scenes, many moments of cheering each other on.

The audience expressed their love for the movie with the warmest applause and cheers.

At this moment, the calm before the screening and the excitement after the screening formed a sharp contrast.

Lu Yanhe really let go of his heart.

In the end, it was the movie that spoke, and the content that spoke.

-

Li Bi, who came to the scene with Linyu, stood in a corner with excitement on his face, doing his own live broadcast.

"Yes, "Late Spring" just premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. How is the movie? I can't comment on it, but look at the reactions of all the audience, listen to the applause and cheers!"

Li Bi moved his face away from the camera and pointed the camera at everyone at the scene.

Since signing with Tiaoqi Company, Li Bi has been desperately trying to seize this opportunity in the past few months, trying to prove himself and make a name for himself.

Many people in the same industry said behind his back that he was lucky to be spotted by Lu Yanhe and given such great support.

Li Bi would hear such voices almost everywhere he went.

The more such voices there were, the harder he worked. At most, he posted 32 short videos a day.

All of them were original videos he made himself.

Because of his hard work, it took him less than half a year to start making a profit.

This time in Venice, Chen Siqi explained two points to him.

"First, you are a short video shooter. You should play to the advantages of short video media. Venice is still dominated by traditional media. You should play to your advantages to open up the situation."

"Second, don't think that you are a short video shooter and you are inferior to other media. You should remember that you are a short video media that has jumped up and comes from one of the most influential media in China now."

As for what content he wants to make, Chen Siqi did not interfere, but just gave him the opportunity to interview several filmmakers they contacted.

This is not called interference, this is called feeding him food and letting him eat.

Although Chen Siqi did not say it, Li Bi also knew that he had another very important task in Venice this time, which was to do a good job in promoting Lu Yanhe and "Late Spring".

Li Bi thought for a long time about how he should play to the advantages of short videos and how to do it differently from traditional media.

When he came here and saw the working methods of those traditional media, Li Bi suddenly became clear.

The biggest advantage of short videos here is immediacy.

So, Li Bi directly moved the live broadcast over.

Because of Lu Yanhe and because his video column has many fans, the crew agreed to his application without much thought.

So, there was this scene of Li Bi doing live broadcast on the spot.

As soon as Li Bi's live broadcast started, the number of viewers kept rising.

Just kidding, there was only one person doing live broadcast in the screening room of "Late Spring".

Therefore, domestic movie fans also saw the love for "Late Spring" at the first time.

-

After the screening, there was a press conference.

When walking on the red carpet, the reactions of many photographers gave Lu Yanhe a feeling that they were just here to complete the task.

However, at the press conference, you can feel their enthusiasm, excitement and interest from the expressions of every reporter.

After Liu Bige and others appeared with Lu Yanhe and other actors, applause broke out again.

Yan Lingyu and others were flattered and widened their eyes.

They were really pure newcomers who participated in the film festival for the first time. Lu Yanhe was a little more experienced, but not much more experienced.

However, Lu Yanhe was never shy at such times and waved to everyone with a bright smile.

The atmosphere was very warm.

Huang Zhongjing, Wen Zhimao and Miao Yue sat next to Liu Bige, while Lu Yanhe and the actors sat on the other side of Liu Bige.

Artistic director Bicalogi personally served as the host.

The first part was that Liu Bige first shared his thoughts after the premiere.

Lu Yanhe could see the obvious excitement and excitement on Liu Bige's face. This infected Lu Yanhe as well.

Liu Bige had been in France for so many years and his English was very good.

He said directly in English: "Being able to come here makes me feel like a dream come true. From entering the film industry to making my first film, nearly ten years have passed. I am very lucky to have the opportunity to shoot such a film. Many young directors look for investment after they have their own scripts. I am different. I was invited by Huang Zhongjing and Wen Zhimao, the two bosses of Longyan Film, to return to China from France. They told me that no matter what I want to shoot, they will support me. So, I got the support of the film company before thinking about what I want to shoot."

The reporters on the scene were surprised.

This experience is too unique.

Other directors would be jealous to death when they heard about it.

Huang Zhongjing and Wen Zhimao laughed after hearing the simultaneous real-time translation from their headphones.

"Later, I read the novel written by Miao Yue. This novel was written when she was in high school. Now she is a student of Zhenhua University. Oh, by the way, the leading actor of our movie, Lu Yanhe, is also a student of Zhenhua University. Thank you Zhenhua." Liu Bige seemed a little excited and nervous. When he said this, he was incoherent for a while and suddenly mentioned Zhenhua.

Lu Yanhe and Miao Yue burst out laughing.

"Then, our movie started." Liu Bige said, "Miao Yue wrote the script with me, and Lu Yanhe also agreed to act in this movie a long time ago. Many of you may not know that Lu Yanhe is a very popular star in China. Because he agreed to act, our project always has a strong backing. No matter what problems we encounter, we can have the confidence to move forward."

Lu Yanhe showed a helpless expression.

The Chinese media reporter smiled kindly.

"Also, the actors in this movie, except Lu Yanhe, are basically acting for the first time. I am not a very experienced director and have no experience in teaching people to act. Fortunately, I met a group of actors with a strong sense of performance. Their sensitivity to characters is more sensitive than my rationality. Thank them."

After Liu Bige finished speaking, the audience gave warm applause.

They entered the question-and-answer session without stopping.

Because the crew of "Late Spring" has no star-like figures for many foreign media, including Lu Yanhe, they are all newcomers to them.

Therefore, they did not focus on asking a certain person. Except for director Liu Bige, other actors had media questions.

The questions that everyone was concerned about were the content of the movie itself.

Some people asked what kind of emotion the ending of the film wanted to express.

Some people asked why Meng Bai and Yin Yue were not allowed to escape successfully.

And so on.

Almost all the questions raised by everyone were related to the movie. This atmosphere made Lu Yanhe feel inexplicably moved.

At the press conference, everyone's enthusiastic attitude once again gave them confidence.

There were other interviews and photo shoots to follow.

Lu Yanhe's schedule was separated from the main group here.

A total of eight media outlets had arranged interviews, each with fifteen minutes.

After a round of interviews, including the time in between, three hours had passed.

Lu Yanhe was so thirsty.

Wang Biao quickly brought him lozenges and water.

After being interviewed and photographed by eight media outlets in a row, Lu Yanhe felt exhausted no matter how dedicated he was.

But on the one hand, these were already screened media outlets, some of which were well-known, some had deep backgrounds, and some had good relationships, so it was difficult to refuse any of them. On the other hand, as the leading actor of "Late Spring" and the only star, he had the responsibility of promoting "Late Spring". Longyan Films invited him to participate in this film festival with such great sincerity, so he should do what he could.

After the promotional schedule was over, Lu Yanhe had his own schedule to meet with the head of Maxine's Asia-Pacific region.

Lu Yanhe did not expect that he would come to the Venice International Film Festival.

Chen Ziyan said, "Why can't he come? Maxine is a streaming platform, not a drama platform. The Maxine behind him is also a movie buyer. Many movies will buy streaming rights from Maxine and broadcast on Maxine."

Lu Yanhe: "I don't think this is something that belongs to the Asia-Pacific region."

"If you really think that such a large company really works strictly according to the division of fields, then you are wrong." Chen Ziyan said, "Everyone is digging for gold. The ground is divided into pieces, and boundaries are established. Once you dig in and go underground, who can still take the boundaries on the ground seriously?"

This truth was made very clear by Chen Ziyan using this metaphor.

"Is there anything I need to do after I meet him?"

"You only need to do one thing, to make him believe that you are a creator who will help him create value in the future." Chen Ziyan said, "In fact, you have already done this with the past few works. Maxine is discussing with Jingtai about the exclusive overseas release of "Friends" and "The Seventeenth Floor" by Maxine. These two dramas have achieved such great success in China. He must have known you and your resume. This time you meet, you just need to reinforce this impression."

"Do I need to say more to him about my future projects?"

"Just follow up with what I say." Chen Ziyan said, "We don't need to settle anything tonight, we just need to make a good impression on him."

Lu Yanhe asked: "But what if he directly asked me to write a script for Maxine?"

"He will propose to you a cooperation intention, and you can also give a reply of intention, but believe me, no one will sign a contract when they meet for the first time, especially at your level, you must first contact and build familiarity and trust with each other." Chen Ziyan smiled.

Lu Yanhe understood.

It was getting late.

They went straight to the restaurant for their appointment.

Zhong Benshuo, the head of Maxine Asia Pacific, is a Korean.

In recent years, Korean film and television dramas have developed rapidly. The domestic market is too small, and global streaming media suddenly opens the door, allowing them to find more fertile soil. Their film and television production talents are almost flocking to streaming media in droves. And streaming media is indeed powerful enough. It provides a lot of money and has little intervention in production. One hit drama after another has a lot of viewers around the world.

In this regard, Chinese dramas are indeed inferior to Korean dramas - so far, the most successful Chinese dramas overseas are of two types, one is ancient puppet dramas, especially the ancient puppet dramas of fairy tales, and the other is modern campus sweet pet dramas. However, these two types of dramas are only popular in Southeast Asia, and there are no such global hit dramas.

Zhong Benshuo was originally a producer of a traditional TV station in South Korea. Later, Maxine entered the Korean market and he changed jobs. With the Korean dramas he handled, several hits were made and his performance was very good. He was competing for the position of head of the Asia-Pacific region. time, and finally succeeded in taking over.

Now that he is in charge of the Asia-Pacific region, he naturally can't just focus on Korean dramas.

In the Asia-Pacific region, there has always been a big bone that has not been broken, and that is the mainland Chinese market.

On the one hand, it is the user market in mainland China, and on the other hand, it is the market for film and television production talents in mainland China.

The former is temporarily unable to break through due to some policy reasons, but the latter is because the treatment and conditions that mainland film and television production talents receive overseas are not as good as those in their own country, so there is insufficient motivation to come out.

Why did many Chinese celebrities want to go to Hollywood in the past? On the one hand, they have a high status, and on the other hand, it's because they can earn more when working there. For a while, making RMB and making U.S. dollars were two different concepts, and many people wanted to make U.S. dollars.

Why are there so few Chinese celebrities going to Hollywood specifically now? Because the domestic performing arts market is not much different from Hollywood in terms of size, then why should they develop in a place they are unfamiliar with? If you are already famous, you don’t want to go. If you are not famous, you don’t want to go. If you are not famous in your own country, why can you become famous by going to Hollywood?

It took great efforts for Chung Ben-shuo to win the film "River of Silence" shot by Chen Lingling.

On the one hand, relying on the names of Chen Lingling and Lu Yanhe, the purchase price of the mainland video platform alone can cover more than half of the cost of this drama, and even make a profit. Zhong Benshuo does not have to worry about losses at all. On the other hand, Zhong Benshuo hopes to use this to open up the situation and allow more creators in mainland China to cooperate with Maxine.

As long as there is one successful work, there will be an endless stream of subsequent works. This is the experience he has accumulated after working for so many years.

-

When Zhong Benshuo learned about Lu Yanhe, his "Six People" had not yet aired. He only knew that he was very popular in mainland China, with an educational background from a top university and a high reputation.

Then, not long after, Lu Yanhe suddenly released three popular works in one go within half a year.

Two dramas with starring roles, and one movie with a guest appearance that overshadowed the main character.

In just half a year, Lu Yanhe's status had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The color is still so red, but the status has risen rapidly——

On this point, Zhong Benzhuo, who works in streaming media, knows this best.

Chung Ben Suk has already seen "Sixteen" and "Seventeen Floors". Both shows gave him a refreshing feel. In fact, every country produces many good-quality dramas every year, but good quality does not mean it will be popular. To be honest, both of these dramas surprised Zhong Benshuo because they were different from the Chinese dramas he was familiar with. One was a sitcom more like an American drama, and the other was a "battle royale" themed drama. Zhong Benshuo had already had many I haven't seen anything like this in Chinese dramas for years.

The key is that these two dramas are very good in their respective genres, so Zhong Benshuo wants to get their overseas streaming rights.

He vaguely felt that these two dramas would be loved by the audience.

Similarly, it was these two dramas that made him more interested in Lu Yanhe.

An actor may be lucky to have starred in one popular film, but what about two or three?

Zhong Benshuo looked back at Lu Yanhe's past acting resume and was surprised to find that, regardless of whether he was a protagonist or a supporting actor, every one of Lu Yanhe's dramas had achieved both commercial and critical success without exception.

Including "Three Mountains".

This made Zhong Benzhuo really think about it.

Especially after knowing that Lu Yanhe is also a talented screenwriter.

-

"Around the world, there are actually many actors like you who can both write and act." Zhong Benshuo looked at Lu Yanhe sitting in front of him and said, "But someone like you who can do such an outstanding job in a short period of time, Very few, very few, I think any film and television company or platform would like to cooperate with you.”

Lu Yanhe politely said thank you.

Chen Ziyan said: "Indeed, many companies come to Yan He for cooperation."

Zhong Benshuo looked at Chen Ziyan, "I heard that you also established a film and television production company together, right?"

"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded again, "I am mainly responsible for the film and television projects that Yan He is involved in."

Zhong Benshuo nodded, "Now many big-name actors have established their own production companies."

Chen Ziyan asked: "Is it the same in Korea?"

"Of course." Zhong Benshuo nodded, "Big-name actors usually have their own production companies, so they can easily participate in the production of projects."

Chen Ziyan nodded.

Zhong Benshuo looked at Lu Yanhe again and asked, "I heard that you have written a script with a similar theme to "Seventeen Floors"?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "But we are already preparing to cooperate with a domestic video platform for this script."

Zhong Benshuo: "I heard about it, but I am still interested in the script. If possible, can I take a look at the script?"

Lu Yanhe looked puzzled and said, "I have already signed a contract with someone else for this drama."

"But the copyright belongs to you, right?" Zhong Benshuo said, "I don't want to cut it off. In fact, we have been looking for a good script on this subject. We have also asked screenwriters to write it before, but in the end we gave it to The script is not that good. I was thinking that if the story you wrote is suitable, I would like to get the rights to adapt it and let Maxine shoot another version.”

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned and looked at Zhong Benzhuo at a loss.

This was completely beyond his expectation.

Lu Yanhe subconsciously turned his head and looked at Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan also showed a somewhat astonished expression.

Chung Ben-suk: "In fact, not only the script you have, but also "Seventeenth Floor" and "Sixteen", I plan to buy the rights to remake them."

Remake is a very common behavior.

A good story, maybe even a dozen remakes.

It's just that it's extremely rare for people like Jong Ben-suk to want to buy the rights to remake a drama before it even starts filming.

Chen Ziyan said: "Although the copyright of "Squid Game" is indeed in our hands, we Chinese are also moral. Before the version cooperated with Northern Lights Video is broadcast, we still hope that it will have no other competitors, especially from Competitors of the same script may not violate the contract, but doing so is unethical to Northern Lights Video, and one product cannot be sold to two families.”

She directly rejected Zhong Benzhuo.

Lu Yanhe supported Chen Ziyan's judgment and nodded.

Zhong Benzhuo didn't seem surprised and nodded.

"Okay." He shrugged, "For creators like Yan He, I will always open my door to cooperation. Whenever you have a suitable project and think you can cooperate with Maxine, you can contact me at any time."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Ziyan also smiled slightly.

After exchanging business cards and contact information, mainly email addresses, the meeting finally ended.

-

As soon as she and Zhong Benzhuo separated, Chen Ziyan looked at Lu Yanhe.

"Do you mind if I rejected him just now?"

"I don't mind." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I think you are right."

"It's hard for me to ask your opinion in front of him. I definitely can't agree to this matter." Chen Ziyan said, "Otherwise, your reputation will be seriously affected."

"Yes, I know."

Chen Ziyan: "However, it seems that he is very satisfied with "Seventeenth Floor", otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to get the script of "Squid Game" for evaluation."

"Is it because they are both battle royale themes and I am the star?"

"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded, "He thinks that "Seventeenth Floor" will be liked by Maxine, so he wants to win the adaptation rights of "Squid Game" in advance. By then, whether it will be adapted into a Korean drama or a European and American drama, They can all get greater attention on the shoulders of "Seventeenth Floor", especially...according to Maxine's algorithm, their platform should be in urgent need of battle royale-themed film and television dramas."

"algorithm?"

"Well, many platforms now use big data to calculate what movies and TV series their platform's audiences want to watch," Chen Ziyan said, "and then use the results of these calculations to plan what movies to film next."

"This really... feels like running a factory." Lu Yanhe felt a little funny.

Chen Ziyan also smiled.

"It is a product of the new era, but the effect remains to be seen." Chen Ziyan said, "Isn't this the case all the time? Yemai.com has a new executive in charge of publicity and public relations, named Zuo Yu. He has been advocating for it at Yemai.com. Make good use of big data to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Xin Zixin wanted to increase the production budget of "City Travel", but he opposed it with all his strength and blocked the increase in the production budget. "

"Huh? Is it because of him?"

"Yes." Chen Ziyan said, "Anyway, these days, new ways of playing and various concepts will pop up after a few months. You have never heard of them or seen them before. You don't know which ones are really new. These are the things that speculators made up to make money."

Lu Yanhe said: "If you can rely on algorithms to figure out what kind of content the audience likes to watch, then you can actually shoot whatever is popular. It is obvious that it is difficult to copy the success of following the trend, but it is never noticed by others. I always feel that You can find shortcuts to success by yourself, but to put it bluntly, you don’t understand the content and don’t know what kind of content will be liked by the audience, so you can only rely on other things.”

Chen Ziyan nodded: "You are right. It's because there are more and more people who don't know how to do it. It feels like you will hear some incredible things every now and then."

The reviews "Late Spring" received at the Venice International Film Festival were in sharp contrast to "White Pearl."

With a screening score of 3.4, it ranks second among the films in the main competition that have already been scored, and is hailed by many media as a strong contender for awards at this Venice International Film Festival.

The news spread back to China, causing an uproar.

"White Pearl" with a famous director and top actors has received mixed reviews, but "Late Spring" with a new director and a group of new actors has been highly recognized. This kind of plot makes everyone feel surprised.

"Movie Jianghu" was the first to publish a review article with the title: Lu Yanhe once again staged a counterattack miracle!

——From "Six", which was lukewarm before it was broadcast, to "Seventeen Floors", which had a shocking first-run ratings, to "Late Spring", which was suppressed by another movie before departure, the film and television dramas starring Lu Yanhe seem to be The same script is being played out: counterattack. I still remember how many people questioned Lu Yanhe's decision after the news came out that Lu Yanhe was starring in "Late Spring". Looking at it now, we have been proven that our vision is far inferior to this young man who is only twenty years old - oh, no, he will be twenty-one soon.

As a result, the entry #鲁艳河counterattackmiracle# became a hot search topic and attracted countless attention.

When Chen Ziliang saw this hot search entry, his eyelids drooped and he quickly scrolled down.

Out of sight is pure.

Lu Yanhe succeeded again.

The fourth film this year.

Why him again? !

"Seventeenth Floor" has not finished airing yet, and everyone is eagerly waiting for the finale. Lu Yanhe has entered everyone's field of vision with "Late Spring".

At this moment, all the agents and agencies working with young actors felt a sense of sourness and powerlessness from the bottom of their hearts.

According to Lu Yanhe's trend, who else among actors of the same age can compete with him?

Only Li Zhibai laughed happily, looking at Zhou Ping'an with a melancholy look, he gloated and rubbed salt into his wounds: "Do you regret that such an awesome genius was driven away by you? ”

Zhou Ping'an: "Why are you gloating about misfortune at this time! Lu Yanhe occupies the top position, what do you think you can ask for? The best resources in the future must be passed through his hands first, and the talents he does not want flow into your hands."

"What the heck are you afraid of? I'm also very popular, and I'm also good at acting." Li Zhibai said coaxingly, "He's my brother. I'm happy that he's awesome, but I'm also awesome. Don't come here." With this method of promoting the high and suppressing the low, I will win the prize sooner or later.”

Li Zhibai looked at Zhou Pingan with a frivolous expression.

His main focus is never internal friction.

Zhou Pingan slapped himself on the face.

What does it mean that the emperor is not anxious but the eunuch is anxious? !

-

Yan Liang said to the crowd of three people: Come back and treat us!

His heart was filled with pride and joy.

Lu Yanhe succeeded again.

"I'm sorry, you just reminded me that I just knew that the ratings for "Late Spring" were out, and I just sent a congratulatory message to Yan He."

Yan Liang came back to his senses, looked at the female reporter in front of him, smiled softly, and showed a little bit of embarrassment.

"I didn't hear the question you just asked. Could you please repeat it again?"

The female reporter's face turned slightly red as Yan Liang looked at her with such tender eyes.

She repeated her question.

"Your good friend has achieved something very significant. Does this cause you stress?"

Yan Liang smiled, nodded, and said, "It will be a little bit. It would be a lie to say not, but it gives me more motivation. I know that I am not a very shining person like the sun like Lao Li and Xiao Lu." , However, the light in this world is not only the sun, I can also be the moon, a star, or even a street lamp that lights up at night. I may walk a little slower, but I keep walking. I also believe that one day, I will be by their side. In fact, I have been walking by their side, right?”

Yan Liang looked at the female reporter with a gentle expression and gave his answer.

"Late Spring" received favorable reviews from media and professional film critics from various countries, making the film's popularity at the Venice International Film Festival skyrocket almost overnight.

The next few screenings became sold out overnight.

Even Wang Zhong had to come to Lu Yanhe to ask for tickets, saying: "Several friends who I have known for a long time came to my place and told me to find a way to get tickets."

However, the tickets are really gone.

"Late Spring" suddenly became popular, which made the two bosses Huang Zhongjing and Wen Zhimao smile. After learning about this, they immediately negotiated with the film festival officials to see if they could add a few more screenings.

After coordination, three more games were added.

Lu Yanhe got ten tickets to give to friends.

He asked Zou Dong to send four tickets to Wang Zhong, and gave the remaining tickets to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu has shouldered the heavy responsibility of promoting "Jump Up" at the Venice International Film Festival this time, and she must have a lot of favors to maintain.

After Linyu got the ticket, she sent a message to Lu Yanhe, saying: Yanhe, Tom Wynn, the columnist and film critic of the American "Variety" magazine, hopes to make an appointment with you for a text interview, and then publish it in his column on the "Variety" website. superior. He is a very influential film critic. He also went to the premiere of "Late Spring" and praised you full of praise. I suggest you agree to him. If he writes a special article about you, it will be helpful for the American film industry to know you. He is very influential.

Linyu emphasized twice that Tom Wynn was very influential, and Lu Yanhe naturally understood what Linyu meant.

Lu Yanhe replied: Okay, but why is it a text interview?

Linyu said: Tomorrow is the premiere of "Sofia's Adventures", and he is back in the United States to catch the premiere of this movie. If you accept, he will interview you via email at that time.

Lu Yanhe: OK, send him my email address.

Linyu: OK.

Lu Yanhe: Thank you for your hard work these days. You are the only one who takes Li Bi to run around.

Linyu: I really don't care about Li Bi. I am busy with my own and he is busy with his. It's just that sometimes the two of us will work together. He is very hardworking. On the day of the premiere of "Late Spring", he live-streamed and interviewed seven audiences outside the screening room, and specially invited many audiences to a nearby cafe for further communication. These videos were all edited by him that night, with Chinese subtitles, and posted to his video account. The influence is quite large.

Lu Yanhe: It's really reliable to have you. Others may encounter a good publicity after shooting three dramas, so that more people can see it. I can shoot a drama and you can promote it as if I have shot three dramas.

Linyu: That's because Siqi has intentionally deployed important forces in the film and television industry. We can't provide you with any other help. We can only do what we can to the best of our ability. Moreover, I am also very proud. You don't know that after watching "Late Spring", Tom Wynn and Marion Tucci's attitude towards me changed. Before, they knew that I was your high school classmate, and they thought I was unprofessional and not objective. After watching the movie, their attitude towards me became warmer. This is because "Late Spring" is a good movie that touched them. You made a good movie and have a good work. We do these auxiliary publicity work, which is icing on the cake, adding icing to you and ourselves.

Lu Yanhe read the words sent by Linyu carefully, and an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

Linyu's words made Lu Yanhe a little hypocritical, and he felt that his persistence in content, quality, and art had its meaning.

It was too easy for Lu Yanhe to shoot movies and make money easily.

Why did he take on a movie like "Late Spring" when he clearly had a gold mine?

Why did he take on "River of Silence" and "Rouge" when he could have written scripts like "Lost on Journey" and "Rouge Button"?

Success is only a momentary result. He still has the spirit of a young man and wants to do something different.

He admitted his hypocrisy. On the one hand, he wanted to display his talent, and on the other hand, he copied the script of "Lost on Journey".

He also admitted his cowardice. He didn't dare to invest all his efforts and take risks at his own expense to replicate the miracles of another world in this world.

He admitted all the weaknesses of his human nature, but above these weaknesses, when he could, he still wanted to do something different.

For example, shooting a movie like "Late Spring", publishing a magazine like "Jump Up", or having an open and aboveboard love.

Lu Yanhe once saw a sentence proposed by philosopher Max Weber.

"Man is an animal hanging on the web of meaning he weaves."

At that time, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but now he has some understanding of it.

Yes, when you are hungry, the first priority is of course to fill your stomach, but what happens after you fill your stomach?

You can laugh at him for being hypocritical or pretentious, but he still feels that if he doesn't pursue something like meaning, he is not himself. (End of this chapter)
