Choose a day to become famous

"How could this happen?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

Chen Siqi said: "Of course, this has nothing to do with her, it's just a coincidence, so others say she is a jinx. In fact, although the works she directed did not have particularly high box office and made a lot of money, they did not lose money either. But now all companies are reluctant to cooperate with her. People in this industry are a little superstitious. If a director like her who cooperates with one company and goes bankrupt cannot bring huge benefits to everyone, her past experience will be a huge obstacle."

Lu Yanhe nodded in understanding.

"As for why she didn't talk to Ruyi Films about the sequel, or Ruyi Films rejected her, there is no news on the Internet."

This matter still needs to be found by Chen Ziyan.

As a result, when Chen Ziyan heard about this, her first reaction was: "She didn't follow you to the cinema on purpose and created an encounter, did she?"

Lu Yanhe was a little confused, "Huh?"

Chen Ziyan: "Director Zhou Changying has too many stories like this. In order to get investors to agree to invest and to convince an actor to play her role, she can appear around them in every possible way and try every means to create an encounter."

Lu Yanhe was surprised.

Chen Ziyan: "Zhou Changying... She must have broken up with Ruyi Films again?"

"Broken up? Their movie has just been released." Lu Yanhe said.

Chen Ziyan: "Zhou Changying's personality is a bit difficult to deal with. Basically, no one will work happily with her. She is almost paranoid in many aspects. You can see from the movies she has filmed in the past that few people will work with her for the second movie."

Lu Yanhe smiled, "It sounds like I can reject her without even thinking about it."

Chen Ziyan: "If you need my advice, I will certainly advise you not to agree to this investment. The box office performance of the movie "Behind the Golden Clothes" is also very average now, and it is expected to be around 40 million. Of course, for now, the reputation of this movie is not bad. Maybe if the decline is well controlled and the scheduling is stabilized, this movie can get more box office."

Lu Yanhe: "Behind the Golden Clothes should still be profitable, right?"

"According to my estimate, it should be profitable. Although its production cost is as high as 80 million, it should actually be profitable. Only between 10 and 20 million. "Chen Ziyan said, "It is a normal promotional method to exaggerate the production cost in the publicity." Lu Yanhe: "Then if Zhou Changying wants to make a sequel, Ruyi Pictures should not refuse it." "That's not necessarily true. I haven't inquired about other things, but I heard that the investment in the movie "Behind the Golden Clothes" was not from Ruyi Pictures itself, but from Zhou Changying herself." Chen Ziyan smiled and said, "In fact, she came to me at the beginning of this movie and asked me if I was willing to invest." Lu Yanhe said, "Huh?" "I rejected her." Chen Ziyan said, "To be honest, I don't distrust her, but if I work with her, there may be all kinds of troubles in the future. She is too paranoid. Once she decides on something, ten cows can't pull it back. It's useless to say anything to her. In addition, sometimes she is quite unruly and unprincipled." Lu Yanhe nodded. Unexpectedly, the next night, Lu Yanhe received a call from Zheng Huairen of Northern Lights Video. "Hello, Yan He."

Lu Yan He originally thought that Zheng Huairen called him about "Wulin Wai Zhuan" or "Squid Game", but Zheng Huairen was asking him: "Are you going to invest in the sequel of the movie "Behind the Golden Robe"?"

"Ah? No." Lu Yan He immediately denied, "Why are you asking that?"

Zheng Huairen said: "Now when Zhou Changying, the director of the movie "Behind the Golden Robe", was raising funds from others, he said that you were very interested in the sequel project, and he also agreed to invest in this project."

"Ah?" Lu Yan He couldn't believe it, "How could this be?"

"I also heard the wind, someone came to ask me about this matter, so I called you specifically to confirm with you." Zheng Huairen said, "In our industry, there are usually many capital parties who want to come in and invest, but many people don't understand these things, so they are easily fooled. Now Zhou Changying is using you as a signboard to invest. Although under normal circumstances, no one will be deceived, there is no guarantee that someone will be deceived."

Lu Yan He felt incredible.

Zhou Changying is not a new director. She has made several movies. How could she do such a thing?

Lu Yanhe: "Thank you for reminding me. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark."

Zheng Huairen: "Although I don't have much contact with Zhou Changying, I have heard a lot about her. I remind you that you should try to distance yourself from her and have less contact with her."

Lu Yanhe: "Yes, I heard about it too. Alas, you may find it incredible. I went to see this movie yesterday and happened to meet her in the cinema. After the movie, she introduced herself to me as the director of the movie and said that she was preparing for the sequel and wanted me to invest in her. I said I would consider it. I didn't expect that after just one day, I would encounter such a thing. I also find it strange. Why didn't she go to Ruyi Films for the sequel when she clearly cooperated with Ruyi Films in the first movie, but came to us for investment instead."

"Ruyi Pictures definitely doesn't want to cooperate with her anymore." Zheng Huairen said, "Ruyi Pictures originally cooperated with her and invested in this movie because the movie was originally going to be the main theme. Ruyi Pictures At that time, the industry was planning to put the film on the National Day schedule, but Zhou Changying later changed the script, saying that he wanted to weaken the political tone and make a film that could be screened at home and abroad, so he changed the background to a blurry one. The struggle between the revolutionary army and the warlords. Ruyi Pictures was very angry, but because the contract clearly stated that the final editing rights of the film were in Zhou Changying’s own hands, and Ruyi Pictures could not directly modify it.”

Lu Yanhe was shocked.

He didn't even know that there was something like this behind this movie.

It sounds like Zhou Changying has completely cheated Ruyi Pictures.

"But if Ruyi Pictures wants to make the main theme, why should it cooperate with Zhou Changying? There should be other directors who can make it, right?"

"Ruyi Pictures has no background in this area. Not every company can shoot the main theme, but Zhou Changying has the resources." Zheng Huairen said.

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

He said, why Ruyi Pictures dared to cooperate with Zhou Changying despite her reputation for cheating the film company? It turned out to be a special purpose.

Lu Yanhe said: "Mr. Zheng, please help me explain it to your friends. If someone asks you again, please explain it to me."

Zheng Huairen said yes.

-

Lu Yanhe immediately told Chen Ziyan the content of the phone call from Zheng Huairen.

"It's something Zhou Changying would do." Chen Ziyan's tone didn't sound surprised at all. "She is the kind of person who dares to use any means to achieve her own goals."

Lu Yanhe: "What if someone really believed her words and was deceived into investing in that movie?"

"That has nothing to do with us."

"But isn't Zhou Changying using my name to deceive others?"

"Normally, anyone would be like Zheng Huairen's friend, asking someone to inquire to see if you really invested. If you believe whatever Zhou Changying says, then don't you deserve to be cheated? You should spend money Let’s learn a lesson. With such a brain, it’s better not to get into the film investment industry, otherwise you will lose your money.”

Lu Yanhe didn't expect Chen Ziyan to say that.

"Do you want to remind others?"

"The main reason is that I'm afraid that some people will actually be deceived."

"Then you can post on Weibo, but don't mention your name. Just say that you received a call from a friend asking if you have invested in other movies. Just say that you haven't considered it recently." Chen Ziyan said, " You are already famous for your good taste in choosing dramas. In this case, there must be more than one like Zhou Changying. It is also a good thing for you to send an explanation like this. "

Seeing that Chen Ziyan agreed, Lu Yanhe immediately edited it and sent it out.

Unexpectedly, not ten minutes after he sent the message, Xiao Yun called.

"Yan He, are you talking about the director named Zhou Changying?"

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"She called me in the afternoon." Xiao Yun said, "She also came to ask me if I would like to invest in her new movie. I met her once before and was approached for a role. Of course, it didn't work out later. , I just left my contact information.”

Lu Yanhe asked: "Did she tell you that I would also invest?"

"She didn't tell me that, but she told me a lot about how difficult it was for her to make this movie, and she also said that she was bullied by people from Ruyi Pictures, even though the movie "Behind the Golden Coat" was profitable. But she wanted to deduct her bonus. So, she decided to make the sequel herself, "I'm still hesitant to help invest."

Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment and said, "Film investment is very risky. I suggest you learn more about her past experience before making a decision."

Xiao Yun: "I saw something you posted on Weibo and felt something was wrong."

Lu Yanhe said: "I clearly did not agree to invest in her, but she told others that I would invest in her, and used me as a sign to deceive others, which made me unhappy."

"She probably knows that I know you, so she doesn't dare to fool me like this." Xiao Yun said, "If she dares to tell me that, I'll know what's going on as soon as I call you. She might just use this to fool me. Some people outside the circle, even if they want to contact you, they can’t contact you and can’t confirm the authenticity.”

Lu Yanhe: "Alas."

Xiao Yun: "Okay, I know what you mean, see you later in the show."

"good."

-

On the day of the recording of the first episode of the fourth season of "Young Days", Lu Yanhe came to the city of Zhaota.

Zhaota is a southern coastal city.

In August, it was necessary to find a relatively cooler place to record, so the program team chose this place.

Although this is the south, the climate is quite comfortable because it is coastal.

Lu Yanhe hasn't met everyone for a long time, and I'm quite excited to meet him again this time.

Originally, it was the night before the recording, and everyone was going to get together.

However, many people have to get to the hotel early in the morning and late at night, and they can't spare the time, so they can only give up.

By the time of the official recording, everyone was finally ready and able to meet each other.

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, when we are together again, the familiar feeling is still there. Mainly because we usually chat more online and keep in touch.

The recording of the program started in the car.

Lu Yanhe was the third person to get out of the hotel and get in the car.

Before him, there were Peng Zhixing and Yan Liang.

"Brother Zhixing!" Lu Yanhe greeted Peng Zhixing as soon as he got in the car.

Almost every domestic premiere of Lu Yanhe's movie was hosted by Peng Zhixing.

Including "Lost on Journey", because Lu Yanhe did not have time to participate in the promotion schedule, he called many friends and asked them to help out. Among them, Peng Zhixing was responsible for hosting three special screenings, which was very powerful. Moreover, the crew of "Lost on Journey" also appeared on Peng Zhixing's talk show for promotion.

As soon as Peng Zhixing saw him, he immediately smiled and congratulated him, saying: "Congratulations, the new film was shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival. It is "Road to Glory", right?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Yes."

Of course, Peng Zhixing had already congratulated him. He deliberately mentioned this movie and this matter in front of the camera, which is also a way of publicity.

Lu Yanhe understood his intention.

"Just now I asked Yan Liang if you suffered a lot while filming this movie. I heard that all the scenes in this movie were shot on location, and many scenes were shot in remote and inconvenient places."

"In fact, it can't be said that it was very difficult, but compared with other movies, the conditions for shooting this movie were a bit more difficult." Lu Yanhe smiled, "But you asked the wrong question to Yan Liang."

"Huh?" Peng Zhixing was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yanhe said, "He just came back from the deep mountains and old forests in Southeast Asia a few months ago. Compared with the movie he shot, I can say that I am enjoying myself while filming "Road to Glory."

Peng Zhixing looked at Yan Liang in surprise.

"He didn't tell me at all."

Yan Liang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You need to be cautious when selling misery now, it's easy to fail, so I won't say it."

"What do you mean you need to be cautious when selling misery?" Xiao Yun, who has always been carefree, got in the car.

She wore a baseball cap and dressed very youthfully and beautifully, like a girl walking out of a campus.

Of course, she is about this age herself.

"Oh, you didn't wear makeup today?" Peng Zhixing asked in surprise.

Xiao Yun immediately said proudly: "Today I recorded the show, of course I wore makeup, but I specially put on a makeup that didn't look like makeup, beautiful, right?"

She posed in the narrow aisle to show her graceful figure.

The three boys who were familiar with her immediately tacitly said "tsk".

Xiao Yun snorted.

After Xiao Yun sat down, he looked at Lu Yanhe and said: "I finally met you. You are too busy. In July, we arranged a script reading for "Wulin Wai Zhuan". I thought I could see you, but I didn't expect you to never show up."

Xiao Yun played Guo Furong in "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

In July, Northern Lights Video organized a script reading for the actors, and director Bai Jingnian led everyone to go through the script together and discuss the characters and plot.

"I was filming Love Letter at that time." Lu Yanhe said, "I couldn't even participate in the promotion and domestic premiere of Lost on Journey."

Xiao Yun: "Busy man, forget it, you should be busy, write more scripts, and give me more roles to play."

"Be a human being, the doctor said that I was under too much pressure and a little anxious some time ago, and my agent immediately pushed a lot of my work. Now I have finished filming Love Letter and am resting." Lu Yanhe said.

Xiao Yun heard this and immediately asked: "How are you now? Mental state?"

"Don't look at me like I'm about to become a mental patient." Lu Yanhe said speechlessly, "I was just a little stressed because I was a director for the first time some time ago, and I adjusted myself."

Xiao Yun smiled again and said, "That's good."

At this time, Li Zhibai and Liu Zhiyin came up one after another.

Li Zhibai was still yawning.

Liu Zhiyin complained from behind: "How many times did you yawn on the way?"

Li Zhibai said: "I didn't arrive at the hotel until 2 a.m. yesterday, and I only slept for five hours."

Liu Zhiyin said: "I didn't arrive until 3 a.m. yesterday, and I had to get up at 6 a.m. today to do my makeup and hair, and I only slept for three hours."

Li Zhibai: "..."

Li Zhibai looked back at Liu Zhiyin.

The latter looked energetic and full of vitality, without any sign of fatigue.

"Did you give yourself a chicken blood before going out?" Li Zhibai asked.

Liu Zhiyin: "I was so excited that I didn't feel sleepy at all when I thought about recording a program with everyone again!"

Li Zhibai rolled his eyes, "Recording a program with you is too stressful."

There have been too many such daily interactions in the program "Young Days".

Complaining to each other, joking, and laughing.

Qin Zhibai, Song Linxin and Su Xiao were the last to get in the car.

All nine people are here.

The carriage was suddenly like a boiling pot, and everyone had endless things to say.

It was already the fourth season, and the unfamiliarity had long been gone. Everyone was familiar with each other, and it was a long-lost reunion, so the warmth was even more explosive.

Li Zhenzhen raised her loudspeaker and shouted "Quiet down" three times, but it was ignored.

Li Zhenzhen finally had to hold the loudspeaker and walked in front of each of them, asking them to be quiet for a while.

When the carriage finally quieted down, Li Zhenzhen returned to her seat, sighed sincerely, and said: "Welcome everyone back to the fourth season of "Young Days."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Zhibai was the first to take the lead in applauding and cheering: "Oh oh oh oh -"

A rooster crows in celebration.

"I am very happy that a group of us have gone from the first season to the fourth season. Some people were briefly absent due to work conflicts, but I am proud to announce that no one has left the show in our show!"

Li Zhibai immediately answered: "That's not right. Meng Li got off the show in the first episode of the first season."

Li Zhenzhen: "..."

Lu Yanhe saw Li Zhenzhen's hand holding the speaker tightened a little, and seemed to be unable to resist the urge to take action.

Li Zhibai immediately smiled shamelessly: "I was just making a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Cut it, cut it."

Yan Liang reached out with one hand and covered Li Zhibai's mouth.

"Director, please continue talking. I promise that Li Zhibai will not be able to speak anymore."

Others laughed.

Li Zhenzhen continued: "In three years, everyone has changed a lot. During the recording of the first season, some people had just made their debut, some had just entered college, and some had just returned from abroad. Three years later, everyone has changed." I am honored that this program has recorded a segment of each of your years. I hope that our program can continue for a long time and become our episode. ”

Liu Zhiyin expressed her love to the audience and said, "It will definitely work!"

Xiao Yun also nodded, "Yes, it must be possible!"

"Starting from the first episode, we have retained many of the previous links this season, but we have also added new links based on the previous ones. Of course, no matter what kind of link, the purpose of our program is to observe young people "It's a show about cohabitation and interpersonal relationships," Li Zhenzhen said with a smile, "Please continue to be your true self in the show, whether it's a quarrel or a hug, whether it's a cold war or love, please believe us, we will do our best. On the premise of protecting you, I will show you the most authentic state of getting along. "

Everyone applauded.

Why are you willing to keep recording this show? On the one hand, they have a good relationship with each other. On the other hand, the program team has always been very protective of them, allowing them to further support their own acting careers every time they appear on the show.

Just like for Lu Yanhe, this is almost the only place where his fans can learn about the real side of his life. He hardly participates in other programs and rarely shares content about his life online. His public image is almost entirely constructed from film and television dramas and media reports.

In this program, everyone can see Lu Yanhe himself as a middle-aged and funny young man. He can also see that he can complain about others, be lazy and have shortcomings.

After Li Zhenzhen expressed what he wanted to say to everyone on behalf of the directing team, he started recording the first episode.

She began to introduce the guests of the first episode.

"Our guests in this episode, Yan He and Yan Liang, are very familiar with each other."

Of course, everyone already knew that the actors from the "Party of Six" crew were coming, but they still had to pretend to be surprised and confused in front of the camera.

"Why are Yan He and Yan Liang so familiar?"

"Is it their mutual good friend?"

"Is he a member of Fengzhi Group?"

Everyone was talking about it.

Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang also looked at the car door with puzzled but expectant expressions.

"who is it?"

When Zhan Yun, Wen Minglan, Bai Jin and Yin Xincheng appeared, Xiao Yun and others made shocked expressions like "How is this possible?"

Peng Zhixing said in disbelief: "Is it really them?"

"Is this the first time that the crew of "Six People" are on the same stage in our variety show?" Xiao Yun asked.

Song Linxin covered her mouth.

"In my lifetime."

Lu Yanhe looked at everyone's reactions and felt that this performance was too exaggerated.

It’s not like they have never been on the same stage together. They had already been on the same stage at Northern Lights Video’s graduation party last year.

But after thinking of this incident, Lu Yanhe immediately realized——

Ah, the last time "Six" was in the same frame was already a year ago.

It’s also been a long time.

For a hit drama like "Six", according to common sense, the leading actors will be in the same frame and on the same stage under the arrangements of various capital and program groups.

After all, every time a combination appears, it is a huge flow of traffic, which can be converted into extremely high commercial value.

However, due to Lu Yanhe's original conflict with Beijing and Taiwan, Lu Yanhe was absent from all promotional schedules related to Beijing and Taiwan before the show was aired.

After the broadcast, Lu Yanhe announced that he would not appear in the sequel of "Six" again, which made the situation even more serious.

Due to various pressures, they did not appear in the same frame for a long time.

Later, with the "reconciliation" between Lu Yanhe and Beijing and Taiwan, the situation changed.

Last year's graduation party was the first time we were in the same frame, and this is the second time.

The second season has been aired for a long time, and the third season is about to start filming.

However, at this time, in the hearts of the public, the sixth character in "Six People" will always be Lu Yanhe, not Chen Ziliang, let alone anyone else.

Li Zhenzhen was able to realize the first variety show of the "Six People" crew in "Young Days", which must have been a lot of effort.

Lu Yanhe could almost imagine how big the reaction of the huge fans of "Six People" would be when this episode was aired.

After all the staff had gathered, Li Zhenzhen began to announce the main tasks for today.

Everyone had to complete their work as hotel service staff in the hotel they checked into yesterday and accept the scores from the jury composed of hotel staff.

It was still the old rules, divided into five groups, three people in each group, the group with higher scores had priority to choose the room for the night, and the group with lower scores could only choose last. It was unknown where the house would be this season and what the situation would be, all of which were unknown. Therefore, we could only try to make our group score higher so that we could take the initiative later.

Lu Yanhe drew lots and drew a group with Xiao Yun and Liu Zhiyin.

After the drawing was completed, everyone followed their PD back to their rooms to change into the uniforms of the hotel staff. Here, they also had to receive their own secret tasks - the link proposed by Lu Yanhe, write down their wishes, submit them to the director team, and draw another wish of others to help realize this wish as much as possible.

According to the reminder of the director team, this wish should be related to their own life and can be realized by others.

The wish written by Lu Yanhe was "to open a diary column on the self-media of "Jump Up" and write at least one diary every month".

After he changed into his uniform and finished preparing for the interview, the director team had compiled everyone's wishes and came knocking on the door with a box.

The wish Lu Yanhe drew from the box was "Be a guest at my concert."

He saw that the owner of this wish was either Qin Zhibai or Song Linxin.

They were the only two singers here.

-

He still hadn't recovered, and he coughed so hard that he felt like he was struggling to survive.

Everyone, please take precautions.

Unexpectedly, he was still positive. (End of this chapter)
