Choose a day to become famous

Lu Yanhe had never heard of the conflict between Longyan Pictures and HP's current head of the Asia-Pacific region.

Of course, this is nothing unusual.

Although film and television are art, people who make films and television are essentially businessmen.

When doing business, conflicts and frictions are inevitable.

However, Mrs. Huang was a little uncomfortable doing this. If he hadn't asked Tom White in advance, if Tom White hadn't told him directly, he might have been kept in the dark and done bad things with good intentions without knowing it.

We arrived at the last stop, Director Wang Zhong’s company.

Lu Yanhe watched the first cut of "Rouge Button" with Tom White.

The initial editing of "Rouge Button" lasted nearly three hours, and no special effects or post-production work had been done yet. However, the English subtitles had been preliminarily produced, and Lin Yu and He Lan helped to make it.

The English level of both of them is very good, not just enough for daily communication.

When he first started editing the version, Lu Yanhe was actually a little surprised, because compared with the original version in his memory, the shots, images and style were so similar, as if there was a tacit contrast between them.

And Wang Zhong handled the movie scenes with less resentment and more sadness of the passage of time.

-

The first cut is very long, nearly three hours, and many shots and rhythms are much slower than the original. To put it simply, it is less "commercial" and more artistic expression.

Putting these aside, the development of the entire story and the feeling of the characters are very similar to when Lu Yanhe wrote this script.

Especially Huang Kairen——

Chen Bige's good behavior was expected by Lu Yanhe.

Huang Kairen came to play this role. Although he believed that Huang Kairen could do it, he was still sweating. But in the movie, he seemed to act in it.

His acting style is different from Leslie Cheung's suave style in his memory, and fortunately it is different. Otherwise, Lu Yanhe was worried that he would feel that he would be inferior to others and would be incomparable.

Huang Kairen's performance in "Rouge Button" is more like the feeling Takeshi Kaneshiro had when watching Zhang Ziyi dance in "House of Flying Daggers".

A child from a rich family, he is cynical and careless. Only when he gets along with Ruhua in private, will he show some affection, such as looking at Zhou Xun in "If Love".

Love is true love, no need to question it. Liangbo is really Liangbo, and because of the careless and casual feeling about him, he is even more sarcastic.

Lu Yanhe realized that Huang Kairen had taken a more dangerous path. He did not handle this character beautifully like Leslie Cheung, handling it in such a way that the audience felt that cowardice was human nature. They were only angry, disappointed, but also had a vague understanding of it.

Huang Kairen did not make any beautification of Twelve Young Masters, and his acting ability and style cannot be beautified. The basic conditions are there. Not everyone is Leslie Cheung. However, ambitious actors will strive to create a three-dimensional character in their own way.

The Twelve Young Masters, played by Huang Kairen, are cynical and suave on the outside, holding hands and deeply affectionate on the outside, but timid and retreating on the outside, unable to accept.

After reading it, it only makes people feel that his tenderness towards Ruhua may be true tenderness, but before his life and death, it was just tenderness destined to be scattered.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that when the screening of the original cut was over, when Lu Yanhe was about to turn his head to look at Tom White, he found that the latter's eyes were red and there were tears.

Tom White took a deep breath and said to Lu Yanhe: "This is really a heartbreaking story."

Lu Yanhe suddenly remembered, oh, these foreigners seem to have a special liking for tragic love stories in the Chinese cultural background.

Especially "Rouge Button", which tells the story of a woman who stubbornly waits for someone for hundreds of years... Lu Yanhe took a breath. Well, such a story is no longer up to date in the current Chinese film market, but for foreigners, this kind of "love will last forever" type of story that takes place in another cultural background. The tragedy of love plays into their hands.

Tom White's love for "Rouge Button" actually has a very strong personal flavor.

Of course, Lu Yanhe was very happy no matter what.

Afterwards, Director Wang Zhong also took the time to meet with them.

After Tom White met director Wang Zhong, he immediately expressed his feelings as a movie fan.

Wang Zhong sent a set of Blu-ray DVDs of "Three Mountains" signed by himself to Tom White.

Tom White accepted the gift almost carefully, then quickly picked up the gift he had brought, and said: "Director, this is the first DVD version of "The Remaining End" that you shot before and was released in the United States twelve years ago. , you said in an interview before that you hope to one day be able to collect a set of DVD versions of your directorial works sold in various countries. I hope you like it."

At this moment, Wang Zhong was stunned.

"The Remainder" is a movie he shot more than ten years ago. The number of DVDs sold in the United States is very small. He doesn't know the exact number, but it certainly doesn't exceed 10,000 copies. He didn't even have this set himself, but today Tom White actually brought it over.

Wang Zhong couldn't help but get excited.

"Wow, this, this... is really meaningful."

Lu Yanhe glanced at Tom White in surprise.

This gift is really thoughtful. Tom White said that he is a senior fan of Wang Zhong, and it is not just a casual remark.

To send such a gift, first of all, you have to watch the interview with Director Wang Zhong to know what he wants, and also know what Director Wang Zhong has collected and what he doesn't have. Finally, you must be able to get the DVD version that even Director Wang Zhong himself hasn't got.

In short, to send such a gift, there is a heavy heart behind it.

-

During these three days, except for classes, Lu Yanhe was with Tom White all the time.

Finally, after meeting Director Wang Zhong, Tom White's trip to China came to an end.

On the way to send Tom White to the airport, Lu Yanhe said: "Tom, remember to tell me in advance when you come to China next time."

"This trip to China has allowed me to see a lot and gain a lot." Tom White said, "I hope that after I go back this time, I can convince the headquarters to sign a long-term cooperation framework with you, just like Northern Lights Video."

When Lu Yanhe heard Tom White say this, he was a little surprised.

Tom White said: "If we HP want to develop the Asian market, we must cooperate with the best creators in Asian countries. Yanhe, this time you can invite me to China, just let me see the current film and television production situation in China, so that I can see it with my own eyes."

Lu Yanhe: "I'm very happy to hear you say that."

-

Tom White, the head of HP's Asia-Pacific region who is about to rise, came to China for a tour and was personally received by Lu Yanhe. This news was spread in the Chinese film and television circles and also reached Maxine's Zhong Benshuo.

Now Zhong Benshuo will no longer doubt it.

He immediately became nervous and contacted Lu Yanhe immediately.

"You want to watch the movie now?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

Zhong Benshuo said: "Yes, Yanhe, if it is appropriate, we can sign the agreement now, and we don't have to wait until it is broadcast before considering overseas broadcasting."

Lu Yanhe really didn't expect that Tom White's visit would arouse Zhong Benshuo's sense of crisis.

Lu Yanhe said: "Mr. Zhong, the two dramas that have been filmed so far are both movies, and the "Squid Game" you are concerned about has not started filming yet."

As for what kind of project "Squid Game" is, Zhong Benshuo actually knew it a long time ago. If he really wanted to buy it in advance, he could have taken action a long time ago, without waiting until now.

Zhong Benshuo was speechless again for a while.

He was hesitating.

He was hesitating whether Tom White had reached an agreement with Lu Yanhe during this visit.

Is it possible that they had signed a certain agreement a long time ago?

It is also possible that Tom White did not like these projects and returned empty-handed.

Zhong Benshuo actually did not want to make a decision so early. I haven't seen the finished product yet. If I buy it in advance at this time, I may end up with a loss. After all, Maxine cannot enter mainland China and can only do business outside mainland China. If the things shot are not good and the data is ugly, it will become a failure in his hands.

Zhong Benshuo's hesitation actually made Lu Yanhe know Zhong Benshuo's true thoughts.

He was actually afraid that Tom White would get ahead of him, and he was afraid that he would suffer a loss.

Lu Yanhe: "..."

At this time, Lu Yanhe suddenly realized why he had always been a little repulsive to Zhong Benshuo, and he didn't have such a good impression of Tom White.

Because Zhong Benshuo gave him a strong sense of business, his words, actions, and attitude towards him were full of a sense of calculation, while Tom White gave him a feeling of respecting creation and creators more, without such an obvious and ready-to-emerge sense of utilitarianism.

As a person, you can certainly be utilitarian, but it's best not to act so utilitarian.

Seeing that Zhong Benshuo didn't say anything, Lu Yanhe was too lazy to play along with him, and said: "Mr. Zhong, if you haven't thought it through, then talk about it later. Indeed, the play hasn't been filmed yet, and it's not safe to talk about cooperation now. I understand."

Lu Yanhe said it directly, and Zhong Benshuo looked a little embarrassed, but Lu Yanhe didn't see it.

After talking to Zhong Benshuo about this, Lu Yanhe put down his phone and had to go to Northern Lights Video.

In fact, when it comes to cooperating with HP, Lu Yanhe is not that strong. The only company that can really stand in a relatively "you come and I go" position to discuss cooperation is a large video company like Northern Lights Video, which also has a large film library and creators.

"I don't mind if you use some of my projects as test products to try to cooperate with HP." This time, Lin Desheng, the CEO of Northern Lights Video, was also there. He had to be involved in matters related to the company's strategic development. Lu Yanhe said bluntly, "Due to policy reasons, overseas streaming media like HP cannot be directly launched in our country. This is a foregone conclusion. At present, it will basically not change. However, HP really wants to open up the Asian market, which certainly includes mainland China. Then HP itself cannot come in directly. Just like Maxine, it can only earn some copyright fees through authorization cooperation with domestic video platforms for one work after another."

"Yes, but some copyright fees are nothing compared to the real core of interests of a video platform - members." Zheng Huairen said immediately, "HP wants to enter the Asian market, especially the mainland Chinese market, and it is definitely not just this amount of copyright fees. small goals.”

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Yes, but the current prospects are like this. Therefore, under this premise, since people have demand for our domestic market, we can also use this demand to open overseas markets. I am just giving an example. , what if, I mean what if, Northern Lights Video and HP Video sign a cooperation framework and make a separate film library list. The works in the list are open to each other, and there is no need to discuss cooperation one by one, saving each other a lot of time. Energy, according to the number of plays or the number of playbacks or new members, etc... In short, how to divide the interests is the indicators you care about, make a formula, this is what you have to communicate, but, under such cooperation, , HP’s works can enter our market on a large scale and meet the audience through you, and Northern Lights’ works can also truly go overseas through HP.”

"This kind of cooperation model has existed before." Zheng Huairen said, "Our domestic video platform has also had similar cooperation with overseas streaming media and film and television companies, but in the end it did not last. This cooperation model is very risky. Big, to put it bluntly, in this kind of cooperation, everyone will definitely feel that they have suffered a loss and the other party has taken advantage. It may be okay in the first and second years, but later on, the accounts will be unclear and no one will be trusted. Who, finally fell apart."

"Mr. Zheng, this ending proves one thing." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "I was just making ideas on paper, but what you said tells everyone that this kind of cooperation model is actually not without profit prospects and success. As a result, it ended not because the audience didn’t buy it, but because of internal issues between the two parties.”

Zheng Huairen was stunned.

"I still think that we can take our time with this kind of cooperation. The film library doesn't need to be very big at the beginning. Let's explore first and build trust with each other. It's also exploration." Lu Yanhe said, "What kind of publicity does our drama have to them? Intensity, what kind of publicity their play will have when we come here, how much investment is required, and what kind of effect can be obtained. Only by trying it out bit by bit and trying it yourself can you have the confidence to carry out larger-scale projects in the future. Of course, these are just my little thoughts, not just HP, but other video platforms as well.”

He looked at Lin Desheng and said: "Mr. Lin, the reason why I would take the liberty to make such a suggestion is because many of my future film and television projects will definitely want to take the route of internationalization and global sales, not just limited to The domestic market. I have a cooperation framework with you, and we are currently cooperating very smoothly. The demand for overseas channels is not only needed by me, but also by you, so I suddenly proposed such an idea, a concept of cooperation. I just hope it can inspire others.”

Lin Desheng nodded.

Lu Yanhe didn't know whether Lin Desheng agreed with the idea he proposed, and to what extent.

However, this is indeed what Lu Yanhe really thinks at this moment.

Everyone is talking about going global and publishing their works overseas, but how and where? I'm out, is anyone watching?

Because there is no successful precedent, no one knows whether this road will work.

Only Lu Yanhe knew that in the context of globalization and on a broadcast platform like streaming media that dominates most of the world, so-called cultural barriers can be overcome.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe is unswervingly determined to let his works go out.

-

Among the projects Lu Yanhe is currently cooperating with Northern Lights Video, "Squid Game" and "Wulin Gaiden" are the most important. "Rouge Button" only has a little investment, just for fun.

However, in addition to film and television projects, Lu Yanhe also has an "unexpected surprise" that has made Northern Lights Video very popular, and that is "Confessions on a High Platform" which was made for the promotion of the movie "Late Spring". Now it has become a jump-starting movie. An important project that the company cooperates with Northern Lights achieves high returns at very low costs.

People at Northern Lights Video find it incredible that such an idea has become an evergreen program, with each episode being viewed over 10 million times. Occasionally, the content of an episode will become a topic that explodes on the Internet. Even the number of views for that episode can reach tens of millions.

It is truly low cost and big return.

Such a program alone can bring tens of millions of revenue to Northern Lights Video and Jump Company every year.

Of course, compared with those S+-level programs, the income is much less. Their income may start at 100 million. However, the key is that the production cost of "High Stage Confessions" is so low that this program almost has no The risk of losing money is the most powerful part.

The kind that truly makes money from an idea.

This idea was thought up by Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi.

Because Lu Yanhe is so famous in film and television dramas, almost no one noticed that in the column of screenwriters of the program "Confessions from a High Tower", Lu Yanhe's name was ranked second, and Chen Siqi was first.

But the Northern Lights Video guys wouldn’t ignore this anyway.

Zheng Huairen suddenly spoke and said, "Yan He, actually, if you come here today, we also want to discuss other cooperation with you."

"Other cooperation?" Lu Yanhe frowned in surprise and looked at him in confusion.

They had never mentioned this to him before.

Zheng Huairen said: "We heard that Xin Zixing, the previous producer of "City Travel", was hired to a new company established by your agent."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe glanced at him in surprise, "That's what happened, but Mr. Zheng, does this have anything to do with what we talked about today?"

Zheng Huairen smiled and said, "We heard that the reason why Xin Zixing was poached was to serve the company's customers, some of whom are rich but have passed away and want to become popular again, or who want to become popular again. To put it simply, for artists who have another big hit, tailor-made variety shows will help them become popular again.”

Lu Yanhe snorted.

"We also heard that you will be the planner and writer of these shows."

Lu Yanhe knew what they were planning.

Lu Yanhe looked at them with some surprise.

-

After the Northern Lights video came out, Lu Yanhe couldn't help but sigh to Chen Siqi for the first time about how fast the Northern Lights video responded.

After Chen Siqi heard about it, she laughed: "It seems that "Confessions on a High Platform" gave them a taste of the sweetness."

"I really didn't expect it." Lu Yanhe's focus was not on this at all, so when Zheng Huairen solemnly proposed to him that he wanted to sign another cooperation agreement with him in program production, Lu Yanhe really did not think of.

Chen Siqi: "Actually, I think this is a good thing."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Chen Siqi said: "On the one hand, this can help Sister Ziyan's company attract very powerful partners. This itself also requires the support of a video platform, as you know. On the other hand, if you think about it, even if you start Although you have signed up for so many dramas, there are still many artist friends that you have to reject. Sometimes, people really need your help in their career, but due to the compatibility of the work, script and characters, you really can't force it, just If you can refuse, now if you can have a stable channel to produce programs and let them become popular through this channel, they can actually achieve their goals, and they don’t have to act in your drama.”

Chen Siqi's words suddenly opened Lu Yanhe's Ren and Du channels, and he reacted instantly.

"If you say so, it's true."

Chen Siqi: "Actually, you are talented in making programs. You have done so many designs for "Young Days" before, and the feedback you received in the end was also very good. This time, "Confessions from a High Platform" is also true. Although you are just casually following us It’s just an idea, but it’s this idea that makes this show possible.”

Lu Yanhe smiled coquettishly.

Just kidding, he also watched a lot of programs before he traveled through time.

Even if you haven't watched it all from beginning to end, you have heard about the essence and highlights of each program.

Lu Yanhe didn't just "mention an idea casually", but he could only "mention an idea" and asked him to fill in the content and enrich the details, but he didn't know.

Lu Yanhe said: "I have really enjoyed my cooperation with Northern Lights Video. They want to cooperate with me in this area, and of course I am willing, but it is not my final say. After all, the copyright owner of the program production is not here." I have made an agreement with them to make an appointment later and ask Sister Ziyan to talk with them again. "

"Yeah." Chen Siqi said, "Every time you say that my ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and my business is getting bigger and bigger, I don't think you are any better than me."

Lu Yanhe thought to himself that because he had the golden finger of a time traveler, he had endless "creative" treasures.

You are a native, and you can have all kinds of interesting ideas popping up in your head. You are much better than me.

Lu Yanhe couldn't say these words to Chen Siqi, he could only laugh.

Chen Siqi suddenly sighed relaxedly.

"When I finish classes this semester, I will be a senior and will graduate." Chen Siqi said, "Suddenly I feel a little stressed."

"Huh? Pressure?"

"Well, I always thought that I was a student, doing "Jump Up" or something like that. Even if I really screwed up in the end, it didn't matter. After all, my job is to be a student, and I had such a retreat in my heart. But in the future, I will immediately I am no longer a student, and I can no longer leave myself such a psychological retreat."

Chen Siqi's words made Lu Yanhe fall into deep thought.

It turns out that Chen Siqi still has such thoughts.

But yes, he will be a senior soon.

Then, college is about to graduate.

Of course, if other people heard what the two of them were feeling now, they would probably complain that they were crazy.

After all, they are only in their junior year and are already thinking about their graduation.

-

The Bicarlo Film Festival has concluded. Unfortunately, "Night Run" did not win the award in the short film competition.

However, what followed was media reports that HP had acquired the exclusive global streaming rights to "Night Run" for seven figures.

This transaction price made news in all major media.

A short film basically cannot go to theaters. In the film and television system, it is not the kind of work that can make money. However, HP would spend seven figures to buy the exclusive streaming rights of "Night Run", which is surprising. , stupefied.

When this news reached China, everyone thought about the news that Lu Yanhe had received Tom White, the incoming head of HP's Asia-Pacific region, not long ago. They were full of thoughts and only two words remained in their minds: No wonder.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Yanhe.

This deal was negotiated as early as when he was in Bicarro. This deal was not negotiated by Tom White as the specific person in charge. Of course, he must have made efforts behind the scenes to add fuel to the flames. The high reputation of "Night Run" in Bicarro and Wang Zhong's popularity and influence in the hearts of fans around the world are the key reasons why HP gave such a transaction price.

It can make money.

Short films are short films, and they can make money.

In the era of streaming media, users are gold mines, traffic is passwords, and clicks to play are money counting machines.

While the transaction price of "Night Run" has attracted widespread attention, it has also once again attracted everyone's attention to Lu Yanhe's commercial value.

Lu Yanhe knows that the key is not in him, but others don't know.

Now everyone in China may think that this matter is inseparable from Lu Yanhe and Tom White's trip to China.

-

"Ah, I really don't know what to say." Lu Yanhe himself was helpless. After class, he came to Chen Ziyan and complained to her, "Why is everything related to me? Why don't I know how powerful I am?"

"Remember what I said before? At your current stage, even if something has nothing to do with you, as long as it has a little bit of relationship with you, others will think it has something to do with you, not to mention that you didn't keep your trip with Tom White a secret, everyone knows about it."

Chen Ziyan took a cup of ready-made latte from the coffee machine , and brought it to Lu Yanhe, "This is also a good thing, let everyone think that you have a good relationship with Tom White. In the eyes of others, the more cards you have in your hand, the less they dare to go against you."

Lu Yanhe said: "No one is against me now, right?"

"There will always be. A big tree attracts the wind, and a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Chen Ziyan said, "You can't see your opponent now because you haven't let them catch the handle. Once they catch it, the offensive they launched will be overwhelming and you will be caught off guard."

Lu Yanhe's heart trembled.

"So terrible."

Chen Ziyan nodded, "But now you are on the right path. It's good to make friends. I'm very happy that you have filmed so many dramas and have not made enemies with anyone. On the contrary, most people have become your friends."

Lu Yanhe laughed.

Chen Ziyan: "Lost on Journey has been filmed, Squid Game will start filming soon, and My Own Swordsman is expected to start filming in the middle of this year. Basically, all projects are in progress. What will you shoot next? Have you thought about it? Will you take the movie Burning Fire that came to you before?"

Lu Yanhe: "I'm not sure, Sister Ziyan, I don't know whether I want to act or not."

Chen Ziyan said: "If you are not sure, then I would suggest you take it."

"Hmm?"

"Again, because this is a commercial blockbuster, you need a blockbuster." Chen Ziyan said, "And this movie has another advantage. The role it wants you to play is not the first one, but Shang Yongzhou, which means you don't have to carry the box office. To be honest, it's still unknown whether you can carry the box office of a commercial blockbuster. You can play the second male lead, which is both the leading role and not facing too much pressure."

Chen Ziyan told him a long time ago that he must act in a commercial blockbuster.

Lu Yanhe nodded when he heard it.

"Then do you think this script and this story can be made into a good movie?"

"I'm actually quite optimistic." Chen Ziyan said, "This is Longyan Film's specialty, a magical blockbuster. Although the reputation of magical blockbusters in China has always been average, there are no particularly popular or classic works, but this is an important part of the film industry that cannot be ignored. Longyan Film is a very good one, with rich experience and good past performance. In this kind of subject matter that is destined to burn a lot of money, their movies have never lost money and can make back their investment in the box office of the theater."

Lu Yanhe understood what Chen Ziyan meant.

"Okay, then act." Lu Yanhe said, "Anyway, I don't have any other dramas to join next."

The script for the second season of "Seventeenth Floor" is still being written, and it is estimated that filming will start next year.

"Miss Ning" has disappeared since the funding was cut off. He Han went to France and has not been in China for a long time. Lu Yanhe thinks it may be difficult to make this movie again.

It's a bit of a pity.

Miao Yue is still revising the script for Liu Bige's new spy film. In addition, he is currently preparing for the romantic comedy film starring Li Zhibai, so the new spy film has to be postponed.

Lu Yanhe, who was originally busy, suddenly had no projects to join.

So, it's okay to act in "Burning Fire".

What Chen Ziyan said made Lu Yanhe pay attention -

He can't just be a movie actor who plays in art films, low-budget movies, and works by new directors.

-

Knowing that Lu Yanhe finally gave in and agreed to sign a contract with "Burning Fire", Mrs. Huang immediately called Lu Yanhe.

"That's great, Yanhe, you are willing to join our movie. Believe me, I will definitely not let you down." Mrs. Huang said, "With your participation, this movie will definitely be better."

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Mrs. Huang, you are too polite. I am very happy to have the opportunity to shoot this movie together. This is my first time shooting this type of movie. There are many things to prepare and learn."

Mrs. Huang said, "If you need anything, just tell me and I will arrange it for you."

Lu Yanhe hurriedly said yes.

After talking to Mrs. Huang on the phone, Lu Yanhe immediately called Shang Yongzhou.

"Brother, I decided to sign a contract with "Burning Fire."

Shang Yongzhou was a little surprised, "So fast?"

"Well, after looking around, this movie project is the most suitable at the moment." Lu Yanhe said, "Will you act?"

"I am still hesitating and haven't thought about it yet." Shang Yongzhou said, "It's true that I haven't acted in this kind of movie for a long time."

Shang Yongzhou used to act in many such visual blockbusters, but in the past two years, he has acted less. The main reason is that his position has been consolidated and he no longer needs to rely on the box office performance of such blockbusters to raise his own status.

Lu Yanhe said, "I was actually quite moved by this story."

"Well, it has a strong emotional appeal." Shang Yongzhou also said, "In fact, it would be better if the literary quality of the script could be stronger."

"Well?"

"I also told Mrs. Huang that they were still revising the script, and I said let's wait and see." Shang Yongzhou said, "The current script is good-looking, but the lines, dialogues and characters are still a little thin. It's not that it must be complicated or have a reversal, but it does lack a sense of completeness. At least when I read the script, I couldn't think of this character in my mind."

Shang Yongzhou has extremely high requirements for the script, which Lu Yanhe felt when he was filming "Road to Glory" with him.

In fact, the script is not about how complicated it is or how many twists and turns it has, but a feeling. Just like a Japanese movie "Little Forest" that Lu Yanhe had seen before, it basically has no plot. It tells the story of a young girl growing vegetables and fruits, cooking, brewing wine and other daily things in the countryside. As a result, Lu Yanhe didn't feel bored at all after watching it from beginning to end.

What is the standard of a good script? It may be difficult to give a quantitative index of one, two, three, or four, but at least a good script is one that you have a clear understanding of in your mind after reading it, and you know it is good.

Shang Yongzhou smiled and said, "Mrs. Huang called me. I guess she wants to tell me that you agreed to sign the contract and persuade me to sign the contract."

Lu Yanhe couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

"Then I'll hang up first."

"Yeah."

Lu Yanhe hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

Magic blockbuster?

Lu Yanhe actually thought of a story in his mind.

If it weren't for Chen Ziyan's reminder, Lu Yanhe wouldn't have thought of it for a long time.

However, in fact, this movie was also one of the domestic magic blockbusters with a relatively good reputation.

"Painted Skin".

Maybe after filming "Burning Fire" and seeing the filming site of the magic blockbuster, he can write the script of this movie?

Anyway, the story of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" has been filmed a lot.

The story of "Painted Skin" has also been filmed as a TV series in this world, but it has not been made into a movie.

Because the story is already known to everyone, everyone thinks that if such a story is made into a movie, not many people will watch it.

But Lu Yanhe knows that the movie "Painted Skin" actually retains the core element of "heart replacement", and the other stories are re-created.

It can be made into a brand new story.

Old wine in new bottles.

Lu Yanhe created a new folder called "Painted Skin" in his laptop and put it here first to avoid forgetting it.

-

Within a day or two, the list of nominees for the new Red River Award was announced.

The Red River Award, which is held in March every year, was held as scheduled this year.

Lu Yanhe was nominated for the Best Actor for "Seventeenth Floor", and Chen Bige and Li Yuefeng were nominated for the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor for this drama.

These are all expected nominations.

The unexpected one is the second season of "Friends".

The second season of "Friends" that just ended, this time at the Red River Award, it was nominated for the Best TV Series, but lost the nomination for the Best Director Award.

Someone asked why, and an insider directly answered that Bai Jingnian's name was not on the registration list.

At this time, everyone suddenly noticed one thing, Bai Jingnian was no longer in Jingtai.

He went to Northern Lights Video.

The fans of "Friends" were all furious.

You know, during the broadcast of the second season, there was a lot of criticism, but only Director Bai Jingnian received a lot of praise. At that time, many people said that the director was still trying to keep the second season original to the first season when the script and lines were so bloody. It was not easy. You can see the director's efforts, trying to use the language of the lens to weaken the bloody plot development, and keep the warm and cozy atmosphere of the show.

Jingtai was scolded by fans of "Friends" because of this incident.

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but curse after learning about this.

"It's really short-sighted. Just because Director Bai Jingnian went to Northern Lights Video, he was not registered for the Best Director Award? Haha." Lu Yanhe curled his lips, "It's really nonsense."

Wang Biao nodded and agreed.

"Stinginess is at its best."

"Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

-

Bai Jingnian looked at the hustle and bustle on the Internet and the beeps on his cell phone that almost never stopped after the commotion happened. He sat in his office and was in a daze in silence.

Many friends sent him messages to comfort him.

Bai Jingnian doesn't really want to reply to these comforts now.

Beijing and Taiwan didn't even submit his name for the Best Director award, which was something he never expected.

After all, he has worked hard in Beijing and Taiwan for so many years, and he is an old man.

This made Bai Jingnian feel as if a cut had been cut in his heart, and he felt as if he was bleeding.

Bai Jingnian really wanted to call Beijing and Taiwan to ask what they thought.

The phone rang again.

This time it wasn't news, but someone calling.

Bai Jingnian took a look and saw the three words "Lu Yanhe" displayed on the screen. He hesitated for a moment and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Director, are you in a good mood?" Lu Yanhe asked straight to the point.

"It's okay, just a little disappointed."

"Well, I don't know if my experience can comfort you." Lu Yanhe said with a hint of teasing in his words.

Bai Jingnian suddenly remembered that the conflicts between Lu Yanhe and Jingtai were much bigger than him.

At that time, Beijing and Taiwan's "blockade" of Lu Yanhe was also vigorous.

Lu Yanhe said: "I hope you won't be affected by this incident. We will have "Wulin Gaiden" in the future, and this drama can also help you win the best director."

Bai Jingnian laughed when Lu Yanhe said this, and his depressed mood eased a little.

"Whether I win an award or not, I actually don't care that much anymore. I've been filming for so many years."

"You don't have to care in your heart, but you still have to win the award. You see, the eyes of the public are sharp, and the audience of "Six" can see how much you have contributed to the second season of "Six". "

"But the audience can see it, but they can't see it either." Bai Jingnian still couldn't hold it back and said angrily.

Lu Yanhe said: "They can't see because they are blind. If they weren't blind, they wouldn't let you go."

These words entered Bai Jingnian's heart.

"Thanks."

"Thank you for nothing, director." Lu Yanhe said, ""Wulin Gaiden" will definitely become a work that is not inferior to "Six Men". By then, no one will question your ability as a director or turn a blind eye."

"Actually, it's all because the script you wrote is so good."

"It's understandable for my fans to say that, but if people in this industry still say that, it's really ridiculous." Lu Yanhe said, "We have all seen how many good scripts are made by a director every year. It’s a bad movie. If the screenwriter could fix everything with just one script, I would have paid my salary as a screenwriter higher than my salary as an actor.”

Bai Jingnian laughed.

"The screenwriter is very hard-working, very serious, and very talented, and there needs to be a director who can make it happen." Lu Yanhe said, "TV dramas are not the art of words, but the art of the camera. The person who controls the camera is not the screenwriter, nor the person who controls the camera." The actor is not the photographer, but the director who has shouted with a loudspeaker or not. "

Bai Jingnian took a deep breath after listening to Lu Yanhe's words.

"Yan He, thank you for coming to comfort me. Your words really comforted me."

"I believe, director, when you look at what happened today next year or the year after that, you will just tell it as a joke." Lu Yanhe said, "Just like when I look at what happened with Beijing and Taiwan now, Those things are definitely not my joke, but Beijing and Taiwan’s joke.”

Bai Jingnian's heart was aroused by Lu Yanhe's words.

"You're right, let this become Beijing and Taiwan's joke, not mine."

Lu Yanhe: "Director, let's work hard together!"

"Well, come on!"

-

Lu Yanhe hung up the phone, took a deep breath, rubbed his aching head, and thought, why has his brain started to hurt recently? Is he thinking too much?

You won’t get gray hair anymore, right?

He quickly ran to the mirror to check.

After confirming that he still had black and shiny hair, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, looking at himself in the mirror, he was stunned.

Wait, what happened to him?

Why does this move look so Li Zhibai? -
