Choose a day to become famous

Although "Seventeen Floors" only has twelve episodes, the volume of each episode is based on forty minutes of content. A total of 65 days were filmed, of which Lu Yanhe filmed for 52 days.

According to the shooting plan, Lu Yanhe joined the crew at the end of June and finished filming in late August.

Of course, if everything goes smoothly during the filming of "Seventeen Floors" and nothing goes wrong, Lu Yanhe's actual shooting days may only be more than 40 days.

"Seventeenth Floor" is about a group of young people who participate in a treasure hunt and come to a building on an isolated island. This building was built twenty years ago. Due to the mysterious death of the owner, the building was stopped halfway through the renovation, and it has been abandoned here ever since.

The treasure hunt game is released on the dark web, and those who come here to receive tasks are all professional treasure hunters. However, when they stepped into this isolated island building, they realized that they had stepped into a real killing game. The building was transformed into a large-scale escape room and trap-filled game by the mastermind behind it, and it was broadcast live on the dark web.

They must rely on their own wits to find a way to escape from the building.

This is why they need to conduct movement training in advance.

Rather than saying that this drama has a heroine and a male protagonist, in fact, this drama is a group drama. There are a total of seven treasure hunters, each with their own agenda and their own abilities. However, the story unfolds from the heroine played by Chen Bige, and finally leads The heroine played by Chen Bige was also the one who escaped, so she is a well-deserved heroine.

As for Lu Yanhe's role, he is indeed the leading actor in terms of role, second only to Chen Bige. However, if we talk about the emotional relationship with the heroine, there is actually another male character who also plays a very important role, but he dies later on.

Seven treasure hunters, seven main characters.

Chen Bige plays the orphan Li Meng, Lu Yanhe plays the silly genius Lian Cai, Li Yuefeng plays the long-distance runner He Huaijin, Shen Yue plays the liar Liu Mengna, Jiang Jun plays the retired soldier Fatty Li, Yan Zhimeng plays Wang Poison Master, and Lin Chan plays Wang Nianping.

There are seven actors, four of whom are popular A-list actors.

Li Yuefeng is the one who took advantage of Lu Yanhe's popularity not long ago, and Shen Yue is a very popular actress at the moment. The other three actors are not unknowns, they are all well-known actors.

Being able to put together such a configuration in a twelve-episode drama shows that Beijing and Taiwan attach great importance to this drama.

-

Li Yuefeng complained a little on the way here.

"It's not a very difficult play, so why do you do a script reading?" Li Yuefeng complained to his agent, "A play that relies mostly on post-production, which actor here is not acting casually."

The agent said: "Who would have any objection to Chen Bige's request?"

Li Yuefeng also closed his mouth when he heard the words Chen Bige.

"Being able to star in this TV series with Chen Bige will help you to improve your status. You know in your heart that after this, no actress who will partner with you will have a higher status than Chen Bige." The agent. Explain, "Don't show such temper in front of her, act honestly."

Li Yuefeng: "Of course I know, do you still have to answer for this?"

Agent: "You've been a little distracted lately, I have to remind you."

"Where did I drift? Don't talk nonsense." Li Yuefeng said, "I am obviously very humble."

"Your tail is almost sticking up." The agent said directly, "You have played several hit dramas in a row. Look at you now, you are not happy to talk to those who are not as good as you."

Li Yuefeng: "Then they are pestering me one by one, what can I do? I want one of them to say a word, and I won't do anything else for the day."

"Anyway, don't praise someone who is superior and underestimate someone who is inferior." The agent warned, "I'm warning you, if you don't change your character, something will happen sooner or later in the future."

Li Yuefeng's face was still a little unconvinced.

"We bought a bunch of drafts before and took advantage of Lu Yanhe's popularity. This time, the attitude of the other party may not be good for this cooperation. Don't get into trouble then."

Li Yuefeng snorted and said, "He and I don't know each other, and besides, isn't he the second actor in this drama? If he has a bad attitude, it should be me."

Agents also have a headache for artists like Li Yuefeng who are overconfident and blindly optimistic.

However, who gave him good luck?

A niche player whose momentum is approaching the front line would be impossible for any agent to give up.

-

Lu Yanhe arrived at the hotel booked by the crew at exactly noon.

The sun at the end of June was already showing signs of going crazy, and it seemed that it would not stop until everyone fainted.

Chen Ziyan took Lu Yanhe out of the car, and happened to meet Jiang Jun, who played the role of retired soldier Fat Head Li, at the door of the hotel.

Jiang Jun is an old actor. He is 42 years old and has been acting for almost 20 years. He is the kind of actor whose face is known to the audience, but not many people know his name.

"Teacher Jiang." Chen Ziyan walked forward with a smile and turned around to greet Lu Yanhe, "Xiao Lu, come and say hello to Teacher Jiang."

Lu Yanhe quickly followed and called Teacher Jiang honestly.

On a hot day, Jiang Jun still held a thermos cup in his hand.

He is a bit strong and looks a bit fierce when he is not smiling, but when he smiles, he is quite kind.

"Classmate Xiao Lu, we finally met and got to know each other. Let's communicate more in the future!" Jiang Jun could feel that he was a forthright person as soon as he spoke, and patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder.

Lu Yanhe smiled brightly and said, "Okay, please give Teacher Jiang more advice."

"Not to mention giving advice, you have already nominated for the Red River Award, and I have not won even one nomination." Jiang Jun laughed.

Chen Ziyan said: "You are recognized as the uncrowned king. I think they won't nominate you just because you wear this hat. The judges feel that not nominating you will not affect you."

"Don't do that. Whoever wants to be the uncrowned king should nominate me quickly." Jiang Jun laughed loudly.

The key is that he seems to be very open-minded about the fact that he was not nominated. He said he minded, but he didn't mind making fun of it at all.

Chen Ziyan asked: "How is my sister-in-law doing?"

Jiang Jun: "It's still the same as before. There is no way to cure it, we can only keep it."

"Where's Xiaozhuang?"

"Still in school." Jiang Jun said, looking at Lu Yanhe, "Oh, what if Xiao Lu was my son? Zhenhua, tsk tsk, that bastard finally got into a bachelor's degree, and I pulled him out with a stick. ”

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Chen Ziyan laughed twice, "Xiaozhuang is smart, good-looking, and has a good heart. He will develop well in the future. You are really demanding too much. What a good boy. If you don't want to see him in the future, you will He sent me here, and I watched him grow up. If you don’t want to see me, I won’t.”

Jiang Jun immediately said: "That's right, my wife will kick me out the first day I send it here."

Chen Ziyan laughed again.

-

The relationship between Chen Ziyan and Jiang Jun seems to be particularly good.

After Jiang Jun left, Lu Yanhe asked Chen Ziyan curiously, "Sister Ziyan, are you familiar with the teacher Jiang just now?"

"We are very familiar with each other. He helped me when I started in the industry, and we have kept in touch since then." Chen Ziyan said, "He is the real uncrowned king. He acted in many dramas in the past, and in recent years he has acted in more films and TV dramas. However, , they are all inconspicuous supporting roles, so they haven’t won any significant awards. It’s a pity. With his ability, he should have received higher honors.”

"Did you introduce this play?"

Chen Ziyan nodded, "Yes, when I read the script, I felt that this role suited him, so I recommended him to the crew."

Lu Yanhe: "It seems that Teacher Jiang is really good."

Chen Ziyan: "If you have the opportunity in the future, you should pay more attention to him for good opportunities. He is indeed a good actor."

Lu Yanhe was surprised and said: "I am a young actor, how can I be qualified to pay attention to Teacher Jiang's good opportunities?"

Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have many more opportunities than him, so don't belittle yourself."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

-

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone met.

Lian Bei, the director of "Seventeenth Floor", is in his early thirties and is a very young director among directors. However, the hit "100 Years Old" he previously directed made him directly enter the ranks of first-line directors.

This time, "Seventeenth Floor" was also personally invited by Jiang Lan, the deputy director of Beijing TV Station.

Jiang Lan is the producer and chief producer of this show and is not here today.

Hu Siwei, the producer sent by Beijing and Taiwan, is in charge.

There was a large conference room with a long oval table. Lu Yanhe entered holding his script and a water glass.

He was almost among the first few to arrive, and the only people before him were Lin Chan and Yan Zhimeng.

Both of them are in their twenties. They have been acting since they were in college and have become somewhat famous.

Lin Chan was chatting and laughing with Yan Zhimeng. When they saw Lu Yanhe come in, they both stood up.

"Sister Chan, Brother Meng." Lu Yanhe quickened his pace and went over to greet the two of them, "Hello, I'm Lu Yanhe."

"Hello, hello." Lin Chan's voice was delicate.

Yan Zhimeng also seems to have a rather reserved personality.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Jiang Jun came over.

"What are you three kids talking about?" Jiang Jun came over naturally and joined in their conversation.

"It's my first time to meet Sister Chan and Brother Meng, so I want to introduce myself." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

Jiang Jun slapped Lu Yanhe on the shoulder, "You are worthy of being brought up by Chen Ziyan, you are so enthusiastic."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

Yan Zhimeng and Lin Chan obviously already knew Jiang Jun. They called Teacher Jiang and became more obedient.

Jiang Jun pointed at Yan Zhimeng and said, "Classmate Xiao Lu, you probably don't know that this person is a master who hides his secrets."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe looked at Yan Zhimeng in surprise.

"He is a serious martial arts student and has studied martial arts for more than ten years." Jiang Jun told Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe looked at Yan Zhimeng in surprise.

Yan Zhimeng looked very young, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was a handsome guy who looked upright. Being praised like this by Jiang Jun, his cheeks seemed to turn red from embarrassment.

"Brother Meng is so powerful!"

But Lu Yanhe frowned after thinking about it. The character played by Yan Zhimeng in "The Seventeenth Floor" is Poison Master Wang. He is a character who relies on his wisdom to win, but his hands and feet are not very good. Especially in some physical and competitive levels, he is always the one holding him back.

For such a person, why did he play Poison Master Wang instead of the athlete character played by Li Yuefeng?

That character is the second most playable in the entire show.

The most capable one is Li Meng played by Chen Bige.

-

People arrived one after another. At 2:10, no one was late, and everyone gathered.

Lian Bei introduced himself to everyone, then introduced the play, and finally introduced the main actors present one by one.

Except for Li Yuefeng and Shen Yue, Lu Yanhe had greeted and known the other actors in private.

Shen Yue was a girl who looked a little arrogant. Lu Yanhe had not even spoken to her yet, but he could already sense her arrogance.

And Li Yuefeng... he gave Lu Yanhe the feeling of being a bit pretentious.

Every time Lian Bei talked about his expectations for the play and his requirements for quality, Li Yuefeng would nod his head in agreement, with a sincere face, and said, "We are all people who pursue art."

At that moment, Lu Yanhe felt inexplicably embarrassed.

He happened to look at Yan Zhimeng at that time.

Yan Zhimeng was sitting right opposite him.

Yan Zhimeng probably couldn't help it, and actually raised his hand and covered his mouth.

When Lu Yanhe saw him like this, he almost couldn't help it and immediately lowered his head.

The two didn't even dare to make eye contact, for fear of laughing.

This was not the first time to film a drama, and Lu Yanhe was no longer as nervous and worried about joining the crew.

After some introductions and acquaintances, everyone started to go through the script.

Lu Yanhe had participated in script readings before, but not like this time, where everyone sat together to read the script for a few days before the official filming.

Everyone started from the first episode and went through them one by one.

Lian Bei would interrupt them from time to time and give them some of his own ideas and opinions.

Even if it was Chen Bige, Lian Bei would interrupt and give his own opinions.

This made Lu Yanhe admire Lian Bei. After all, it was Chen Bige. Would ordinary directors dare to do this? Of course, the director must do this. No matter how big the actor is, when he comes to your crew, he will be dispatched by the director. Chen Bige obviously understood this very well. She refuted and explained Lian Bei's opinions, but there was no unhappiness.

Such a creative atmosphere surprised Lu Yanhe.

One of the biggest features of the character played by Lu Yanhe is the ahoge. It's not that he's really stupid or dumb, but because of his personality, his reaction is not particularly fast.

Lu Yanhe was a little unsure for a while, worried that he could easily play a person with dementia.

Lian Bei said: "Yanhe, the role of Lian Cai you play has a very high IQ and is a genius. He is just confined to his introverted personality, which leads to many reactions that cannot be expressed immediately. Like you reading lines, he should have his own rhythm. He is very clear about every word he wants to say, but he just can't express it normally."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "Director, I know what you mean, but I don't know how to grasp it. I always feel that I read his lines like a fool."

"It's true that he is like a fool." Lian Bei also said with a smile.

Chen Bige said: "You can find some TV dramas about geniuses and see how others play them."

Geniuses always have their special features.

In many TV dramas, there have been many different types of geniuses.

In this script, Lian Cai is a fool with a high IQ, a gentle and kind personality, but a defect in expression. The reason why he is foolish is that he knows that he cannot express himself fluently, so he often chooses not to express himself, which makes him foolish in the eyes of others.

Lu Yanhe has done a lot of homework before, including what Chen Bige said, referring to the genius images in other film and television dramas, but so far, he has not found a performance state that makes him completely convinced and enter.

He did not waste too much time on himself and continued to work on the script.

Some problems cannot be solved now.

He has to solve them himself.

And such face-to-face script reading can also help actors better understand the script and the relationship between characters.

-

In the evening, Jiang Lan appeared.

She arranged a restaurant and took everyone to have dinner together.

The total investment of "Seventeenth Floor" exceeded 200 million, of which more than one-third was used to build various secret room scenes and game production in the building on the seventeenth floor, striving to give a sophisticated and real visual effect in the creation of the entire world view, rather than the cheap feeling of full-screen game special effects.

The actors' pay was not high. After all, there were only twelve episodes. Chen Bige, who received the highest pay, only received 2 million per episode, which was far below her market price. Lu Yanhe was even worse, receiving 200,000 per episode, which was lower than Li Yuefeng.

There was no way. Although Lu Yanhe was the male lead, Li Yuefeng was already a young actor with three hit dramas. He had more experience than Lu Yanhe and was more recognized by investors and TV stations.

Of course, this was also the reason why Chen Ziyan didn't care much about the pay. Otherwise, with Lu Yanhe's current fame, it would be possible to raise the pay. Or the contract was signed too early. If it was signed after "The Golden Age" was broadcast, it would definitely not be this price.

Like Chen Ziyan, Lu Yanhe didn't care much about the pay at the time.

When he took on this drama, he hadn't even aired a single drama yet, so no one knew what the audience would react to his acting. If Xu Bantian hadn't caused such a big trouble, in order to put Chen Ziyan out of trouble, Lu Yanhe wouldn't have been able to get such an S+ drama as the second male lead with his status at that time.

-

Drinking is inevitable at such a dinner, but Lu Yanhe is also very clear now, at most two taels, and no more.

Whoever he drinks with, he just takes a sip.

Fortunately, so far, he has never met anyone at the wine table who doesn't drink well and forces him to drink.

However, there are people like Lu Yanhe who don't like drinking very much, and naturally there are also people who like drinking very much.

Li Yuefeng circled the glass in his hand, and then toasted the director from time to time.

The director also seemed to be a drinker, and his interest increased as he drank.

Jiang Jun is the eldest here.

After drinking a few drinks, he began to talk to everyone about what was on his mind.

When he arrived at Lu Yanhe's place, Jiang Jun became more sincere.

"Me, I'm not doing well. At this age, all my peers are out. But as for me, I'm still playing some small roles. I don't have much ability, but as long as I can help you, I will definitely help." Jiang Jun took Lu Yanhe's hand and said, "My son is about the same age as you. I look at you as if I were my son."

"Teacher Jiang, Sister Ziyan told me that you are a very worthy teacher for me to learn from. When it comes to acting, it doesn't matter how famous you are. I am not from a major and have not received professional training in acting. Please give me more guidance." ”

Lu Yanhe acted like a junior in front of Jiang Jun and gave Jiang Jun full respect.

Jiang Jun also naturally felt Lu Yanhe's respect for him.

He was a little confused at this moment.

Some of the higher-ups' minds also had a moment of clarity.

Jiang Jun, who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, can certainly feel whether a person truly respects him or fakes respect for him.

Jiang Jun never expected to feel such sincere respect from Lu Yanhe.

After all, Jiang Jun has seen many young people who become famous overnight and go through a period of arrogance and pride.

The politeness and tact shown during this period are just disguises under social etiquette.

Jiang Jun never expected to feel sincere respect from these people.

He is not a big shot, and in this entertainment industry where interests are paramount, he has nothing worthy of respect from others.

Just like Li Yuefeng, Jiang Jun could clearly feel his perfunctoryness when talking to him.

Li Yuefeng had been focusing on getting close to Lian Bei and Chen Bige tonight and wanted to build a good relationship. Anyone with eyes could see this.

As for other people, Li Yuefeng obviously doesn't take them seriously, or in other words, they are not within the range that he thinks is worth spending time to make friends with.

Lu Yanhe chatted with Jiang Jun for a long time, mainly about this drama.

"I can't find the rhythm. In fact, I am aware of the problems that the director told me, but I can't find a way to solve them." Lu Yanhe said, "I don't know what method should be used to solve them." Everyone thinks that I am not playing a fool, but a high-intelligence genius with expressive difficulties."

Jiang Jun said seriously: "Actually, Bi Ge is right. When you don't know how to act, just find an acting method that you think is closest to the character you imagined. First imitate, and then make additions and subtractions." Law."

Lu Yanhe said: "Wouldn't this make my performance very similar to others?"

Jiang Jun shook his head and said: "There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers. The same action performed by different actors will have different effects. What's more, of course you won't choose to copy it. You have to incorporate your own understanding. You just have to find a way to get into that character first, and when you find your own rhythm, of course you can put it aside.”

Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously and said, "I have to try it first. I feel very unsure now."

Jiang Jun nodded, "It's right to give it a try, Yan He, you have to know that no actor is confident before acting, because no one knows any role before you play it. It’s normal to have no bottom. If you have bottom, it means your imagination of the character is only a little shallow.”

Lu Yanhe immediately laughed.

He nodded, "I understand."

-

Chen Bige came over to find Lu Yanhe, put one hand directly on Lu Yanhe's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "How are you doing with your two scripts?"

Lu Yanhe said: "The first draft has been written, but I am still revising it and I am a little bit confused."

Chen Bige nodded: "Don't rush, take your time, I won't rush you."

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but laugh.

After getting to know Chen Bige a lot, I found that she is actually a bit "nervous".

She does not have the posture of a movie queen or a top star as imagined. It is obvious that when she is in full aura, she will give people the feeling that the whole world is at her feet.

Lu Yanhe imagined Chen Bige as a big woman, but Chen Bige gave him the feeling of a carefree woman in private.

However, Lu Yanhe also knew that this was because of Chen Ziyan's relationship, so Chen Bige regarded him as his younger brother and would act more casually in front of him.

Chen Bige added: "If you don't understand or have any doubts about acting, you can come to me. If nothing else, I still have many years more experience than you."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"Well, thank you Sister Bi Ge."

Chen Bige: "I met Wang Zhong yesterday. He showed me a clip of your guest appearance in his play. I didn't say anything when everyone was there. You play a genius with expression barriers. I think you can refer to the rhythm of your language in "Three Mountains". It's like rain, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. I feel that you are now trying to build a set of psychology that matches your judgment of the role from your cognition. But in fact, if you can't change your appearance first and create the feeling of this high-IQ genius, it's very difficult to play this kind of role based on your beliefs. It's not an emotional play, it's just a technique."

Chen Bige's words made Lu Yanhe think.

-

That night, after Lu Yanhe went back, he lay on the bed and seriously recalled what Jiang Jun and Chen Bige said to him.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, they all mentioned a common point, that you have to create some characteristics from the appearance first.

This appearance definitely does not refer to the facial features, but to the things that are presented externally, such as voice, stage, shape and performance.

"Three Mountains"?

Lu Yanhe never thought that Chen Bige would actually suggest that he refer to his acting in "Three Mountains".

In "Three Mountains", he played a fortune teller who was a little abnormal and had difficulty communicating with others...

Difficult to communicate with others normally!

Lu Yanhe sat up from the bed in an instant.

Yes, Lian Cai was not unwilling to communicate with others, but it was difficult for him to communicate with others normally!

Why did he always assume that Lian Cai was a fool who couldn't speak properly and didn't dare to look people in the eye when speaking?

Lu Yanhe realized where his problem was at that moment.

He knew rationally that Lian Cai was just a genius with expression difficulties, but emotionally he identified him as a genius who was a little abnormal and even had some childish mental retardation.

So, on one side he had a high IQ, and on the other side he was mentally retarded, which made him conflicted and he could never handle this balance well.

Lu Yanhe suddenly became excited at that moment, turned on the light again, took the script, and read it again from the beginning.

Those lines that were not clear about the punctuation and those scenes that were not clear about the rhythm suddenly had a vague structure, as if there was a direction to study.

-

Lu Yanhe deleted all the small movements and details that he had added to himself before.

He is a normal person who can speak normally, react normally, and get along with people normally.

Lu Yanhe decided to only do one treatment. Under normal circumstances, he would not speak. Once he spoke, his speaking speed would not keep up with the speed of his thinking, and his tone of voice would be a little hurried and annoyed, and his eyes and expressions would also change at this moment, becoming hurried and annoyed, as if he was sulking himself.

After he decided on this treatment, he communicated with Lian Bei.

"Director, what do you think of my acting like this?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Lian Bei looked at him in surprise after listening to Lu Yanhe.

He did not rush to make a judgment, but said: "Let's see when we rehearse later, how about it?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and said yes.
