Choose a day to become famous

In this video, it almost just slaps Nagayama Kazuzo's nose and directly scolds him, "You are just a very low film critic."

Chen Siqi's action pushed the number of views of this video to over 10 million.

There is no way around it. When it comes to criticizing Japanese people, the domestic online environment often shares the same hatred and hatred. Not to mention, what Yong Shanhe San did was disgusting and even shameful.

Kazo Nagayama's reputation in the international film critic circle is certainly not as good as that of Tom Wynn of Variety magazine and Marion Tucci of French "Cinema" magazine.

The two of them are backed by the world's most influential film magazines and have accumulated a large number of readers with their film reviews.

And so do other film critics.

Chen Siqi's invitation to them was enough to establish the reputation of this forum.

-

"Look, as soon as Lu Yanhe was attacked by Yongshan Hesan, Chen Siqi was able to fight back immediately and slap Yongshan Hesan in the face openly." Someone laughed online, "Someone also asked why Lu Yanhe couldn't think of making a paper book Magazine? Apart from "Jump Up", is there another media in China that can stand behind Lu Yanhe so unscrupulously and help him speak out? "

The role played by "Jump Up" this time allowed everyone to see for the first time its significant role in the public domain and in helping Lu Yanhe fight the public opinion war.

In the past, it was just a magazine editorial department. No matter how well it did, including film and television promotion and marketing, it was the icing on the cake. But this time, it showed its side as a sharp sword.

As a result, people who thought they were aware of the value of "Jump Up" discovered a fact that shocked them: they were far from understanding how important "Jump Up" was to Lu Yanhe.

-

Nagayama Kazo angrily wrote a column in the latest issue of "Off Screen", in which he wrote:

Lu Yanhe used "Jump", which he is the editor-in-chief, to organize a film critics forum to discuss young filmmakers and their works. What is the difference between this behavior and those rich people who pay people to praise themselves?

Chen Siqi wrote on his overseas social media account: Spend money to hire people? Has Kazo Nagayama underestimated the objectivity and professionalism of the world's top film critics, or is he usually paid to do things, so it is natural for him to speculate on others with such vicious malice?

When Yongshan Hesan saw Chen Siqi's speech, his cheeks turned red with anger.

Domestic netizens saw this and sighed:

——The editor-in-chief is bullying foreigners who don’t understand the market. Even Yu Jiang can’t criticize her. Why does Yong Shanhe San still dare to jump around and tell lies with his eyes open? Isn't he afraid that Editor Chen will criticize him so much that even eighteen generations of his ancestors are unwilling to recognize him as an unfilial descendant?

This sentiment has over 10,000 likes.

Domestic netizens have seen Chen Siqi's fighting power many times.

It stands to reason that Yu Jiang is already a person who is very good at fighting with each other, but she is defeated in every duel with Chen Siqi, which is enough to show how terrifying Chen Siqi's fighting ability is.

-

Privately, Lu Qingzhen and Chen Ziyan laughed and said: "These two young men and women, one is good at talking and the other is good at arguing. Together, they feel invincible. How much public relations money they save."

Chen Ziyan sighed: "Can you believe it? Not long ago I persuaded Wang Biao to read more books. Do you think I persuade people to read more books? Just because I know them, I now subconsciously believe that if more people read more books, everything will be better. Don’t suffer, and you must study more, so that you can become stronger in all aspects.”

Lu Qingzhen laughed.

"Of course it's right to read more books, but Chen Ziyan, you are so interested in Wang Biao, why are you planning to leave Lu Yanhe again?" Lu Qingzhen asked.

Chen Ziyan: "No, I just have to train a reliable agent for Yan He. His career will get better and better in the future. I can't concentrate on putting all my energy on him alone. He must have a Only an agent who can take care of his specific affairs wholeheartedly.”

Lu Qingzhen: "You, you are still the same you, so whether Chen Bige or Shang Yongzhou can maintain such a good relationship with you after breaking up with you, but Xiao Lu is different from them at that time. , They were not as tough as Xiao Lu at the time. Now that he has a share in a film and television production company, and he has a share in our high-end service company, it is not that easy to break up. "

"Who said I have to break up with him?" Chen Ziyan said, "I just don't like to invest all my energy into one person, and Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou were already at the stage where they could not accept that their managers were still at the same time. If I can't fully devote my energy to serving only one of them at this stage of my career, then of course I will just get along with them. As for Yan He, if I really don't want to be his agent in the future, I will still have someone else. The way these two companies work together.”

Lu Qingzhen: "I don't know if Xiao Lu will let you change your mind."

"No." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "Qingzhen, you know me. My past has destined me to never place my career and life on just one person. No one can change this. "

Lu Qingzhen was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she thought of, and sighed.

She asked: "Have you told Xiao Lu about your affairs?"

"No, and I don't plan to say it." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "Don't tell your story like a movie or TV series. The more viewers the better."

Lu Qingzhen burst into laughter.

Lu Qingzhen: "Actually, Xiao Lu is really very similar to you, very similar."

Chen Ziyan: "Really?"

She thought about it, too.

Lu Yanhe is also a person who has high demands on himself and never lowers his demands.

Lu Yanhe is also a person who really relied on himself to achieve his current achievements.

Lu Yanhe is also a person who has been through a lot and is still able to maintain his original intention and face the world with kindness.

Chen Ziyan said to Lu Qingzhen: "I see a momentum in him."

"What momentum?" Lu Qingzhen was curious.

"The hardware conditions for our Chinese-language film and television dramas have actually reached world-class levels, and the market is the same. You see, we have produced movies worth more than 5 billion yuan, which is about 600 million yuan converted into U.S. dollars. The foundation has been laid. The next ten years may really be the decade when Chinese-language film and television dramas rise on a global scale," Chen Ziyan said, "In the past, people talked about going overseas, but things were not that good, and we could only pretend to go overseas. Now ours is. Things have gradually reached a first-class level, and the general environment is there. What is needed is a few people who can lead this trend and truly go global. I see this momentum in Yan He.”

Lu Qingzhen did not immediately agree or respond, but fell into deep thought. After thinking seriously for a moment, she said: "Zi Yan, this is actually very difficult. We have felt many times in the past that Chinese film and television dramas have reached a stage where they can go overseas. But every time I mobilize people to go abroad, I can't get the support of those overseas. This is not only a problem of hardware, but also a problem of cultural differences and other aspects. I even started to think about one thing, is it necessary? When it is spread overseas, even if there is no overseas audience, our own market is already big enough, so why do we have to seek favor and recognition from overseas? "

"Looking at the bigger picture, this is human civilization - no civilization can avoid it. Whether it is expansion of consciousness or vanity, there is no civilization that does not want to be recognized and recognized by other civilizations. Let's face reality. "In this era of globalization, no country can sit still and work behind closed doors," Chen Ziyan said, "Film and television are a very important part of it, and as many film and television people, in fact, their driving force is recognition. A sense of honor. This may be tacky, but it is what it is. Many people say that we are already very powerful, so why do we have to go overseas to prove our strength? It is not true at all that only those recognized overseas are good. One thing, you also know that this is not what I mean. It is that we have an innate desire for the very good things about ourselves, especially the very good things in our own culture, to impress people from other cultural backgrounds. I also see it and agree with it.”

Lu Qingzhen took a deep breath.

"Not every group wants to prove that their group is definitely better than other groups, but absolutely no group is willing to see their group regarded as inferior by others." Chen Ziyan said, "Me too, all Chinese people The same goes for people in the film and television industry. Why do their films and television dramas seem to be top-notch in the eyes of overseas people, while our Chinese-language film and television dramas are shoddy? "

Chen Ziyan expressed her own voice sentence by sentence, which is also the voice shared by many people.

"Cultural identity." Lu Qingzhen said these five words thoughtfully.

"It's not only self-identification, but also the identification of others." Chen Ziyan added.

-

As for Yongshan Heshan, the film critic who everyone shouted to beat was living in a particularly miserable past few days.

The reason for the embarrassment was naturally due to Chen Siqi's several blatant slaps in the face.

Yongshan Heshan used to speak out, and was often ridiculed, saying that he deliberately made shocking remarks and said some topics to attract attention.

It doesn't matter to him. Anyway, what he said can indeed attract attention, and it can indeed gain a lot of recognition. In particular, it is often difficult for those who are attacked by him to fight back.

Whether they think too highly of themselves or for other reasons, they will not openly confront him.

As a result, Yongshan Hesan gained a reputation as someone who dared to speak and no one dared to be angry.

But this time, he met Chen Siqi.

Every time he attacked, Chen Siqi would find a more condescending angle to counterattack.

This time he was even more murderous and expelled from the ranks of "the world's top film critics".

This is attacking his foundation.

Yong Shanhe San was furious, but he could only jump on the spot.

When it comes to connections, resources, and influence, they are not his strengths in themselves. His biggest advantage is that he dares to break up and say anything without fear of offending others. However, Chen Siqi has all these advantages. And what he didn't have, Chen Siqi also had.

The most important thing is that Chen Siqi immediately accepted an invitation from a Japanese publishing house and announced that he would lead several Chinese writers to Japan for cultural exchange activities.

He was humiliated by Chen Siqi here, but people in his country were extending olive branches to those who humiliated him.

At this moment, one can imagine the anger in Yongshan Hesan's heart.

What made him most angry was that the Chinese actor he selected, Huaiqian, didn't even care that he was lucky enough to be on the list, but openly expressed his disdain for him.

If it hadn't been for him, who would have noticed that little-known actor!

-

Huaiqian sneezed twice in succession.

The agent quickly looked back at him and asked, "Don't you have a cold?"

"No, no." Huaiqian shook his head, "It's strange, my nose suddenly felt itchy just now."

The agent was relieved.

"You must not catch a cold at this time. There will be an audition for "Fire" later, so you have to stay in good condition."

"Yeah." Huaiqian nodded.

The agent said: "Although Yongshan Hesan is shameless this time, he also helped us and increased your popularity. It happened to be at this time when we were going to win "Fire", which is also our luck. ”

When Huaiqian heard Yongshan Hesan's name, he immediately curled up his lips, "This man is petty-minded. Just because Lu Yanhe refuted him twice, he held a grudge against Lu Yanhe and took revenge on him. The most representative person in our country, Isn’t it crazy for a young actor with great potential to choose me instead of Lu Yanhe? I don’t want to be bound to him, and I will be tricked by him sooner or later.”

Agent: "You are right. Moreover, if we were to express our happiness and gratitude for being on this list rashly, we would really be laughed at by the crowd. To be honest, our future is indeed bright. But now I really can’t compare with Lu Yanhe.”

Huaiqian hummed.

"Lu Yanhe is the second male lead in "Fire" this time. If you win this movie, you can work with him." The manager suddenly thought of something, "So, this time you were accidentally involved in this incident. , It’s really a lucky thing.”

"Lucky?"

"Think about it, how big of a stunt would it be for you and Lu Yanhe to collaborate on a movie together? Of course Longyan Pictures will also consider this factor." The agent said, "This is the biggest investment in our country in recent years. The biggest commercial film has an all-star cast, and there are a lot of people competing for each of the characters with a few lines. Isn’t this your advantage?”

When Huaiqian heard it, it was indeed the case.

-

A blockbuster like "Fire" is also a magical blockbuster with Chinese culture as the background, and it has always been the most eye-catching.

It is difficult for a film like this to succeed, but every time a film like this is proposed, it will inevitably attract attention.

After all, blockbusters still have different meanings for the film industry.

This is the embodiment of the highest technology in the film industry.

Huaiqian came to the audition place and saw many actors in the waiting room. Several of them are even quite famous and popular actors, including the three starring roles of Chen Jiang, Wang Lu and Sui Fang in "Three Mountains", and Yan Lingyu, Kong Fan and He Qingqing in "Late Spring", all of whom have worked with Lu Yanhe. Yes, Huaiqian immediately became worried. When the difference in strength is not obvious, will Lu Yanhe's thoughts affect the final decision?

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, the popular A-list actor Li Yuefeng walked in under the escort of his team.

He did not stay in the waiting room, but was led directly to the front.

Did he even come to audition? Huaiqian was shocked. Does Li Yuefeng still need to audition?

For a popular actor like Li Yuefeng, Huaiqian couldn't imagine that he would also need to audition.

However, this is only the first one. Soon after Li Yuefeng, another person appeared, Yin Xincheng, who was already popular in "Six People", and Lang Xia, who has gained great momentum in the past two years.

…

Huaiqian suddenly realized something. Each of these people was more or less related to Lu Yanhe. Thinking about it again, it's normal. These works starring Lu Yanhe are all big hits. As the saying goes, one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and the actors in a hit movie all benefit from it.

Lu Yanhe is not only very popular himself, he can also make others become famous.

Incredible.

Huaiqian is more or less well-known. But sitting in this waiting room, he was not aware of his advantage at all. Even though two of his films have been shortlisted for the main competition units of the four major international film festivals, in the eyes of critics, he is still a highly promising new star. Otherwise, Nagayama Kazo would not have recognized him.

When it was his turn to go in, he was a little nervous for no reason.

Among the people inside, Huaiqian had only seen Mrs. Huang. Huaiqian did not expect that she would personally audition for "Fire".

As soon as he entered, he heard the people inside starting to talk about each other, and their eyes fell on him with a hint of inquiry.

Of course Huaiqian knew why.

He wasn't sure whether his rising fame in recent days would help or not help this audition.

Mrs. Huang was the first to greet him and said with a smile: "Huaiqian, right? You are very popular recently."

Huaiqian said: "I have to thank the enemy for sending me artillery fire."

When he said one sentence, everyone in the room laughed.

Mrs. Huang also laughed.

"So you are also this funny in real life? I saw that the dramas you acted before were more melancholy or bitter and resentful." Huang Tai said.

Huaiqian said: "Maybe it's because I have such a face? But my personality is still a bit...funny, my agent said so."

Mrs. Huang nodded, "Your play is very good. I have watched your play, but let's try another scene now? There are two scenes that I want you to try."

Huaiqian nodded, took two pieces of paper from the staff, and lowered his head to prepare.

Mrs. Huang turned her head and lowered her voice to the person next to her.

"This young man is very good, his acting is very good, but we need to see if he can fit into the style of our film. His previous acting was mainly art films." Mrs. Huang said.

The acting methods of art films are still different from those of commercial films. The styles are different. Mrs. Huang is worried about this.

The people around him naturally knew what was going on.

Mrs. Huang was satisfied with Huai Qian in other aspects of the actor, but she just wanted to see if his acting style was suitable for the movie "Burning Fire".

-

When Lu Yanhe learned that Huai Qian passed the audition and got a role in "Burning Fire", he was quite surprised, mainly because of such a coincidence.

Chen Ziyan said: "Huai Qian's acting is very good, and it is not surprising that he can get the role."

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded, "However, "Burning Fire" is now organizing auditions, what is the specific situation?"

Chen Ziyan said: "Let's put it this way, most of the young actors in the entertainment industry have gone to audition."

Lu Yanhe was surprised when he heard it, and he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Chen Ziyan said: "This kind of blockbuster, from preparation, to shooting, to promotion, to release, the duration in between is two years at the fastest, and each stage is highly concerned. If an actor can join such a film crew, he will frequently appear in reports because of this film in the next two years, and it is very likely that other film and television companies will be betting on him in advance and give him a film contract."

Lu Yanhe knew that blockbusters are generally exaggerated, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

But it is true. For an art film like "Road to Glory", all the news comes from the fact that it has two big-name actors, Shang Yongzhou and Lu Yanhe, but the theme and story of the movie itself are not very attractive.

And "Burning Fire", its story and theme itself have a very large audience.

Like this audition, although Longyan Films did not do any publicity, many media still heard about it and tried to take pictures of which actors appeared at the audition location.

This itself is a kind of exposure.

For celebrity artists, exposure is like oxygen to humans, it is a necessity.

Some artists, even if you don't have any works, as long as you have exposure and topics, you can still be successful in the entertainment industry and make a lot of money.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Besides Huai Qian, have other actors been confirmed?"

"No other news has come out yet. The news about Huai Qian was given to me by Mrs. Huang. She wanted to confirm with me whether we mind Huai Qian also acting in this movie."

Lu Yanhe nodded: "Then the confidentiality work is done very well. Even you are unwilling to disclose it."

"Isn't that the case with blockbusters? The more confidential it is, the more people are intrigued, and the more curious they are." Chen Ziyan smiled, "That's why I said that you must act in one or two blockbusters. You don't have to act in blockbusters in every movie, but you must have them."

Lu Yanhe nodded: "I fully understand your good intentions, Sister Ziyan."

Chen Ziyan smiled.

And blockbusters have another advantage, that is, the pay is high enough, and capable actors can legitimately negotiate for profit sharing.

Lu Yanhe just happened to have such ability.

And Chen Ziyan is the best at fighting for the interests of her artists.

Immediately, the media revealed that Lu Yanhe's salary for starring in the movie "Burning" exceeded 50 million RMB!

When Lu Yanhe saw this number, he was numb.

Huh?

When these media are making news, can they not just think about it and make a random number and then put it on his head?

The salary offer Chen Ziyan proposed to Longyan Film for him was 15 million RMB + 8% of the profit share. Note that this is a quotation, and the meaning of the quotation is to throw it out and let Longyan cut it. Because Lu Yanhe obviously can't get such conditions now.

Longyan also knew it well, and after two days, he gave a suggestion: 8 million RMB + 3% of the theater box office share.

There is a completely different difference between profit share and theater box office share.

The former also includes various copyrights and peripheral development income, while the latter is just a pure share of the theater box office.

Chen Ziyan continued to report the second round: 12 million RMB + 5% of the global cinema box office share + 30% of the peripheral derivative share of the character played by Lu Yanhe.

…

The more Lu Yanhe listened, the more complicated it became, because the conditions became more and more detailed.

Of course, Chen Ziyan must have negotiated based on the market conditions. She has never been the kind of agent who asks for too much.

After listening to a few times, Lu Yanhe felt that he was really confused, so he simply ignored it and waited for the final negotiation result.

In the movie "Burning Fire", the actors who are truly qualified to negotiate with Longyan are only the male and female lead, as well as Lu Yanhe who plays the male second. And "Burning Fire" is the first film in this film series, and Longyan Films certainly does not want its risk to be too high, so the cost must be very tight.

The reason why Chen Ziyan is so anxious to promote the negotiation of Lu Yanhe's salary is that Shang Yongzhou and the female lead have not yet been determined, which means that Lu Yanhe can fight for the most space at this time. If we wait until these two actors are decided and start negotiations, Long Yan will have to weigh more factors and the negotiation space that Lu Yanhe can strive for will become narrower.

As for the fact that Lu Yanhe has gained greater benefits, it means that the interests of others will be reduced accordingly - Chen Ziyan is not someone else's agent, so of course she will give priority to Lu Yanhe's interests.

In particular, she knows very well that with Lu Yanhe's current appeal and influence, he deserves this condition.

-

Longyan Films first issued a statement: Regarding the online rumor that Lu Yanhe's salary for starring in "Burning Fire" is 50 million, please do not make up rumors about it. We will reserve the right to sue. One more question, how did you come up with such a fake number?

Everyone suddenly realized -

Sure enough, this salary number is fake at first glance, it's too fake.

If Lu Yanhe can get 50 million for starring in "Burning Fire", how much will the male and female lead get? I heard that Lu Yanhe is not the male lead in this movie.

What? Lu Yanhe is not the male lead? Why doesn't he play the male lead?

Who else is worthy of Lu Yanhe playing the male second?

…

After a discussion about Lu Yanhe's pay, the topic successfully shifted to "Why did Lu Yanhe take the role of the second male lead?"

Chen Ziyan saw it, sighed, and said: "If Yanhe's traffic could be monetized, Yanhe's hot searches and topics in the past two years would still care about the mere 50 million? These platforms took advantage of it all, and all the advertising fees went into their pockets."

Lu Qingzhen said: "You have to say this directly on Weibo."

Chen Ziyan thought about it and said: "I'll post it on a small account."

"Why a small account? If you want to post, use the big account and post it as Lu Yanhe's agent." Lu Qingzhen urged.

Chen Ziyan: "Don't encourage me."

"Forget it, I won't encourage you, but you have to say this, it's right." Lu Qingzhen said, "But you can't say it yourself, you have to find someone to say it, someone who has little relationship with Lu Yanhe, let everyone know that the various values ​​of Lu Yanhe are high enough, so other people come to him for cooperation, and they are willing to pay such a high price. Don't always stare at a specific number and start to lament that Lu Yanhe is not worthy. He didn't steal, rob, or ask for an exorbitant price, so what's there to be worthy of."

Chen Ziyan: "Be careful with your words, if you say that, everyone will attack you."

Lu Qingzhen: "I'm just saying this in front of you."

"To put it bluntly, it's because many people work hard every day but earn very little. It's not that Yanhe earns a lot of money that makes them jealous, but that they live too hard, so they become sharp." Chen Ziyan sighed "This is not a problem we can solve, but don't intensify such conflicts."

Lu Qingzhen nodded with empathy when she heard Chen Ziyan say this, "If you are talking about this aspect, I agree. Indeed, think about it. Before, many young people in Star Entertainment worked almost every day for a month, and finally only got a few thousand yuan in salary. I would feel uncomfortable if I were in their place. I was talking about those who deliberately made trouble."

"I know." Chen Ziyan said, "So, sometimes I feel embarrassed. Although from a logical point of view, I think there is nothing wrong, but in the end, I am still the party that gets the bonus."

"Facing those who did not get the bonus, there is a little bit in my heart... I can't justifiably say that I earned this money with a straight back. Why can a lucky person say that his life is all earned through hard work in front of someone who is not as lucky as him?" (End of this chapter)
