Choose a day to become famous

"Sorry, I'm holding you back."

At 11:30 p.m., Huang Kairen sat in Lu Yanhe's room and said helplessly.

Lu Yanhe: "Brother Huang, don't mess with me. If you say this, let me say whatever you want."

"Haha, I'm kidding you." Huang Kairen said and sighed, "If I were a little famous overseas, I wouldn't be caught and attacked by some black men, causing such a thing."

Lu Yanhe: "Even if you are a superstar overseas, those who should criticize you will still criticize you. If they want to find fault with you, they will find anything. If they want to incriminate you, there is no reason to hesitate."

Huang Kairen nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, I'm quite nervous right now."

"Is it because of these turmoils on the Internet?"

"That's not true. To be honest with you, I haven't even taken it to heart. All I'm thinking about now is the premiere of "Rouge Button" tomorrow." Huang Kairen said, "It's my first time in such an international setting. I’m participating in a film festival and I’m starring in it, so I’m nervous. I want to know everyone’s opinions about the film as soon as possible, but I don’t dare to know.”

When Lu Yanhe heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry, but he actually understood Huang Kairen's mood very well.

Because it was the same when he participated in the film festival for the first time.

The indifference, calmness and coolness I feel now are just because I have experienced a lot more.

Lu Yanhe also sincerely hopes that Huang Kairen's performance in the movie will be recognized by everyone.

It really took a lot of twists and turns for Huang Kairen to finally appear in this movie.

-

Early the next morning, Lu Yanhe accepted interviews with two overseas media in the hotel room, and time basically passed.

At noon, he, Zou Dong and Wang Biao ate bread in the room. After a simple meal, we started to change clothes and do some styling. Because he was not an actor in "Rouge Button", he did not prepare his dress in a grand manner this time. Simply freshen yourself up a bit and you're good to go.

At the door of the hotel, he unexpectedly met Felena Ricci. She greets him with surprise. Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment before he recognized who the other party was. She was a famous Spanish actress and a judge of the main competition unit of the Situol Film Festival for "Three Mountains".

"Hi!" Lu Yanhe also smiled brightly and shook hands with Felena Ricci, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Felena Ricci said: "Although I haven't met you for a long time, I have watched several of your dramas. Oh, you are so lovable."

She hugged Lu Yanhe's face with both hands, and there was a kind of... to use common words - an aunt-like smile on her face.

Lu Yanhe was a little confused and didn't understand why Felena Ricci suddenly treated him with such a "loving" attitude.

Obviously, she is not old enough to be "loving". She is close to forty, but not yet forty.

Lu Yanhe could only say obediently: "Ms. Rich, thank you for your compliment."

"Just call me Felena." She said, "I will also go to the premiere of "Rouge Button" later. I heard that you wrote the script of this movie, but it is a pity that you did not Starring."

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Because there are more suitable actors."

Felena Ricci's eyes were full of admiration for Lu Yanhe: "You are so good at acting, you must act more in the future."

Lu Yanhe said: "Well, I have been acting."

Felena Ricci immediately asked: "Then why didn't you bring them to Jose this time?"

Lu Yanhe had no choice but to say: "We haven't started filming yet. Filming will only start this summer."

Felena Ricci then showed a satisfied smile and said, "Then we will meet at other film festivals."

Lu Yanhe said: "The film I want to make, I don't know yet whether it will be invited by the film festival. This film is not a typical film festival film."

Felena Ricci said: "If you need it, I can help you recommend it to major film festivals. With your current achievements, I believe that major film festivals welcome you to participate with your works."

Lu Yanhe was flattered and quickly thanked him.

"You have to remember that I am your fan and I like your performance very much." Felena Ricci said, "I really hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future."

Lu Yanhe nodded with a smile and said, "There must be a chance."

Felena Rich wanted to continue communicating with him, but the people around her might have run out of time, so they began to urge: "Felena, we have to go, Mr. Feiwen is still waiting for us."

"Oh!" Felena Ricci showed an apologetic smile to Lu Yanhe, "I really wish I could chat with you for a little longer, but I have made an appointment with someone else, so we can only talk next time."

"Well, okay." Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, "We will meet again in the afternoon. I hope we can find a chance to continue chatting then."

Felena Ricci: "Believe me, you will definitely not have time to have an in-depth chat with anyone this afternoon. At this time, as the protagonist, you can only cover everything and say hello to everyone."

She smiled, said goodbye to Lu Yanhe, and left.

Lu Yanhe then got into the car and set off.

Setting off at this time is, of course, not about going to the premiere or the red carpet right away, but because I have another job.

He needs to participate in an exhibition with the theme of "Film and History" that Shang Yongzhou serves as the convener.

This event is organized by the local museum of Jose in conjunction with the Jose Film Festival.

As the image ambassador and convener of this film festival, Shang Yongzhou needs to support the appearance of this event.

Lu Yanhe, Chen Bige, and Huang Kairen all received invitations from Shang Yongzhou to attend this event first.

After all, this is Shang Yongzhou, so they must show up to support him.

In addition to them, Jia Long also brought Wang Dashan with him.

In addition to their few Chinese stars, many foreign stars also appeared.

There were several familiar faces, especially when British actress Lily Winton appeared, and there was a huge wave of cheers.

She is the heroine of the most popular Hollywood series "The Golden Throne" in recent years. She is very popular and is one of the most popular female stars in the world.

Shang Yongzhou stood on the side of the red carpet photo area waiting for her and politely gave her a kiss.

Lily Winton seems to be very familiar with Shang Yongzhou.

When Lu Yanhe was confused, Linyu reminded him in his ear: "Shang Yongzhou had acted in a foreign film before, and the second female lead in that film was Lily Winton. She had not yet acted in "The Golden Throne" at that time. He is a newbie with no reputation.”

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

No wonder Shang Yongzhou is one of the most representative actors in China.

Not only does he have a high status domestically, he has also starred in overseas movies. This resume is indeed representative.

-

At the event, Lu Yanhe had the opportunity to meet Lily Winton and exchange a few words.

Lily Winton had not seen his work and had no idea who he was. People just communicated with him politely.

Lu Yanhe just chatted with her politely.

After Lily Winton was called away by others, Wang Biao whispered in Lu Yanhe's ear and asked, "Brother Lu, why aren't you very enthusiastic about her?"

Lu Yanhe: "Am I not enthusiastic? It's okay, it's quite normal."

"Okay." Wang Biao said, "I thought you didn't like her very much."

Lu Yanhe was reminded by Wang Biao's words.

Don't like her?

Lu Yanhe didn't think about where he gave such an impression.

What he was thinking was, if Wang Biao mistakenly thought that he was not enthusiastic about Lily Welton, would Lily Welton herself also have the same impression?

Lu Yanhe didn't want to leave such an impression on others when they first met.

So, he asked Wang Biao one more question: "Am I so indifferent just now?"

"You're not indifferent either, but compared to when you met Felena Richie just now, it makes me completely think that your expression and tone in front of Lily Winton just now were fake."

"Huh? Am I so bad at acting?"

"Maybe I'm too worried." Wang Biao said, "After all, I'm too familiar with you, Brother Lu."

However, Wang Biao didn't worry too much.

Someone in the infield filmed the meeting and exchange between Lu Yanhe and Lily Winton.

They came to take pictures of Lily Winton, so they took Lu Yanhe in as well.

After the video was posted online, many people said that the Asian man's smile in the video was so fake that he couldn't feel sincere at all.

This is the public opinion that appears on the Internet.

After Chen Ziyan saw it, she immediately became anxious and wanted to control the relevant public opinion——

However, there is nothing that can be done by putting the traditional method on the external network. She had no one on the outside who could help.

Lily Winton's fame and influence are too great, and she has many fans, so this kind of public opinion is getting more and more intense.

When Lu Yanhe had participated in this exhibition and was about to leave, take a short rest, and head to the red carpet for the premiere of "Rouge Button", Lu Yanhe noticed that several people were pointing at him.

At first, Lu Yanhe thought he had been recognized by others, and he nodded and greeted them politely. However, he soon realized that something was not right. The way everyone looked at him and the expressions on their faces was not right.

Lu Yanhe hesitated and asked Wang Biao: "Why are they looking at me like this?"

Wang Biao also shook his head: "I don't know."

Lu Yanhe still heard the whole story from Chen Bige.

Chen Bige asked: "What's going on? Do you dislike Lily Wenton?"

"No." Lu Yanhe was confused and had no idea why he suddenly disliked Lily Wenton.

I found that video online and took a look.

In the video, Lily Wenton was always friendly towards him, but he didn't know what was going on. Although the smile on his face was warm and friendly, it was a little stiff. Not only that, he was joking with Lily Wenton. Sometimes, there is still some deliberate and artificial enthusiasm, but it seems to be perfunctory.

Lu Yanhe suddenly understood why he was attacked by a group because of this video.

If he saw this video, he would have the same question.

However, Lu Yanhe couldn't remember why he looked like this when he was talking to Lily Winton.

He's not usually the kind of person who can't manage his expression well.

This is the first time this has happened.

Chen Ziyan had already called in a hurry.

Wang Biao handed his cell phone to Lu Yanhe and said, "Brother Lu, Sister Ziyan's phone number is for you."

Lu Yanhe took it in his hands.

"Yan He, I've seen the video."

Lu Yanhe sighed and said, "This was really an unintentional mistake. I didn't even realize that my expression looked like that at the time."

Chen Ziyan: "It's okay, you may be too tired, so your expression is out of control."

Tired?

Lu Yanhe thought to himself that he hadn't been very tired these days, so it was okay. Compared with last year, he had been very comfortable during this period.

Chen Ziyan said: "Explain on your overseas social account that you were busy recently, very tired, and not in good condition, so you met Lily Welton for the first time. Because you like her very much, you tried to cheer up a little when you were tired and communicated with her enthusiastically. Unexpectedly, you backfired and caused such a misunderstanding. Explain to Lily Welton."

Lu Yanhe knew that this was the most appropriate public relations method that could be thought of in the short term.

He edited a paragraph on his mobile phone, checked it twice, and after confirming that there was no ambiguity, he posted this status and @Lily Welton.

-

After posting this message, Lu Yanhe saw that many people were scolding him.

Some scolded him harshly, saying directly that he should not think that he was a top star in China, but he was nothing in front of Lily Welton.

Lu Yanhe read it line by line, feeling a little heavy-hearted.

He put down his phone and asked Wang Biao: "If I appear on the red carpet of Rouge in this situation, will it bring bad news to the movie?"

"Bad news? How could it be?" Wang Biao said immediately, "Little Brother Lu, you just made an unintentional mistake, not on purpose, everyone will understand."

When Lu Yanhe heard Wang Biao say this, he smiled instead.

Ten minutes after he sent out the message of explanation, Lu Yanhe logged in again to check everyone's comments.

In the comment area, as expected, many people did not buy it and still questioned his attitude towards Lily Welton.

The entertainment industry is the most unreasonable place. Whether they like you or not, trust you or not, it all depends on the mood of the audience. There is no use trying, and there is no use explaining.

Lu Yanhe had expected this result long ago - if any explanation would work, there would be no need for those public relations companies to exist.

Lu Yanhe was not worried about how much trouble this matter would cause him. This kind of topic, if it is discussed lively for a few days, the heat will actually pass. Lu Yanhe's explanation at the first time has actually tied a button for this matter at the public level, so that this matter will not become a black spot for him in the future.

But this takes time.

The red carpet of the premiere of "Rouge" is right now.

There is definitely no shortage of media reporters at the scene of this shortlisted film in the main competition unit.

If he appeared on the red carpet of "Rouge" at this time, it is estimated that a lot of media attention will be on him and on his relationship with Lily Welton.

Lu Yanhe hesitated a little, or he might as well not walk the red carpet.

This can also reduce some of the attention on him and this matter.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanhe contacted Jiang Zixin and told her his thoughts.

-

The sudden incident of Lu Yanhe caught a crew of "Rouge" off guard.

Jiang Zixin and Zheng Huairen were having a headache because of this incident, and kept contacting friends they knew to see if there was any way to reduce the heat of this matter first.

But they encountered the same problem as Chen Ziyan.

They were too unfamiliar with the foreign environment and didn't know how to handle such things.

The premiere of "Rouge" was imminent and the red carpet was about to begin.

At this time, the core figure of their film was caught in negative public opinion.

Zheng Huairen didn't have time to contact Lu Yanhe.

In fact, they were also thinking about how to reduce the impact of this incident on the premiere of "Rouge".

Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Yanhe took the initiative to propose not to walk the red carpet.

-

Wang Zhong frowned, a little annoyed, and said: "Why not walk the red carpet? Just because of that thing? What's the big deal? Who can always guarantee that there is no problem with their expression? Didn't Yan He explain that he was not in a good state?"

Zheng Huairen said: "Alas, the most uncomfortable and unhappy person in this kind of thing must be Yan He himself. He didn't even call us, but directly sent a message to Jiang Zixin, saying that he would not walk the red carpet with us, and would go directly to the venue, and didn't want to bring more trouble to the movie."

Huang Kairen and Chen Bige were both standing aside. Hearing what Zheng Huairen said, Huang Kairen glanced at Wang Zhong, and the director still looked unhappy - he obviously hoped that Lu Yanhe could walk on the red carpet with them.

For filmmakers, the movie they created was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Jose-La Roche Film Festival. Everyone walked on the red carpet of the premiere hand in hand and accepted the attention of all the media in the world. This is a ritual and an honor.

Not to mention, Wang Zhong is full of preference and appreciation for Lu Yanhe himself.

Chen Bige hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll call Yanhe first and ask him what he thinks."

Chen Bige took the phone from the assistant and walked aside to call Lu Yanhe.

Wang Zhong's face was gloomy and ugly.

Huang Kairen wanted to say something at this time, but he didn't know what to say.

There was nothing he could do.

This embarrassing feeling made Huang Kairen uncomfortable.

Five minutes later, Chen Bige came back.

"Director, I talked to Yan He on the phone. Let's go. He is sure that he will not walk the red carpet with us." Chen Bige said, "He doesn't want to bring more criticism to the movie because of this negative public opinion. He also asked me to persuade you not to worry about him. He will wait for us in the screening room."

Seeing Chen Bige also said so, Wang Zhong sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go."

Originally, he should have walked on the red carpet in high spirits, but this moment was overshadowed.

-

Lu Yanhe sat in the car, waiting for Wang Biao to communicate with someone to see where he could avoid the media and enter the Film Palace.

After a lot of communication, a staff member came to pick him up and enter from another VIP channel.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang.

Lu Yanhe picked it up and took a look. It turned out to be a message from Shang Yongzhou: Have you entered? Or are you still outside?

Lu Yanhe said: Premiere? Film Palace? I came in from the VIP channel and didn't walk the red carpet. Brother, are you here?

Shang Yongzhou said: We are almost there, come out.

Lu Yanhe: You don’t want me to pick you up, do you?

Shang Yongzhou: I came to pick up Lily Welton. I brought her here and caused such trouble. You left without saying a word. I just found out what happened.

Lu Yanhe: Oh, I didn’t control my expression well.

Shang Yongzhou: Stop talking nonsense, come out quickly, you and Lily will walk the red carpet together later, I will tell her.

Lu Yanhe was stunned: Huh?

Shang Yongzhou: I invited you here. I can’t just sit back and watch the trouble you caused at the event I organized. What’s more, you have called me your senior brother for so long, so I have to fulfill my responsibilities as a senior brother.

Lu Yanhe was suddenly speechless at this moment, not knowing how to describe his sudden feelings.

Shang Yongzhou usually doesn’t say much.

He suddenly did this! (End of this chapter)
