Choose a day to become famous

Huang Kairen has been worrying about which one to choose between the two movie scripts, "A Needle Hit the Blood" and "Yesterday Reappears".

Huang Kairen wanted to hear Lu Yanhe's opinion on the two scripts.

"After the release of "Rouge Button", more film companies have handed me scripts, but the quality of the scripts is relatively average. Until recently, I received two good scripts, and I think they are both good." Huang Kairen said, "But it's very frustrating that these two movies just started shooting one after the other, and the schedules collided, otherwise I would like to take on both."

Lu Yanhe picked up the two scripts Huang Kairen gave him.

"Then I can't give you an answer immediately tonight. I have to finish reading these two scripts first." Lu Yanhe said.

Huang Kairen nodded.

"Okay."

Lu Yanhe took the script and went back to his hotel.

"A Needle Hit the Blood" and "Yesterday Reappears" are very different types of films. The former is a black suspense crime film with a bit of absurd elements, and the latter is an adventure film with a soft science fiction color.

After Lu Yanhe took a shower, he sat on the bed and read the script. He first read "A Needlepoint".

This story tells the story of five people and five lines. All five people are related to a hospital. Some work in this hospital, some are treated in this hospital, and some are students studying in a medical school. They have different identities and professions.

All five of them have ulterior motives. As a result, the actions of the five people collided, and the hospital fell into an unexpected crisis (in fact, they accidentally lost a virus sample. Once the virus is released, it will be an irreversible disaster), which made things go in an unexpected direction.

This screenwriter is very good at telling stories, and the sense of picture is very strong. Lu Yanhe can almost see the corresponding picture in his mind when he reads the script.

The ending of the story is that the five people, driven by guilt, finally have to join forces to find the virus sample. In the end, when they were tracing the virus sample, they realized that it was not lost by accident, but someone deliberately stole it.

The end of the story is that these five people cooperated in an incredible way, fought with the gang that stole the virus sample, defeated the other party and took back the sample.

In short, this is a story that sounds very ridiculous at first glance, because there are too many coincidences and too many coincidences, but the screenwriter wrote it one after another, and there is no logical flaw, so it will not make people feel out of the play. After reading this story, basically no one will use reason to think about the BUG problem in it. The story is carried along all the way, and only exclamations such as "Oh my God", "Can it be like this?" and "It's amazing" are left.

Good script.

This is how Lu Yanhe judged it right after reading it.

What is a good script?

Lu Yanhe's standard is actually not high. For him, it is a script that makes people want to read on and want to know the ending of the story.

A story with BUGs and poisonous points is not a fatal flaw.

A story, if people can't read it, it is a devastating disaster.

In the comment section of many similar films, there are actually many viewers who leave comments, saying that this bug is too obvious, this is too insulting to intelligence, and so on.

To say that they are wrong, it is not, they are right. However, they do not understand one thing, that is, the audience who like this type of film, what they like is not the impeccable logic, but the reversal brought to them by this type of film, as if riding a roller coaster. Its setting is based on the "anti-daily" based on reality.

For example, the American movie "Fly Paper" and the Indian movie "The Tuner".

Lu Yanhe sent a message to Huang Kairen: I have finished reading "A Needle Hit the Blood". It is a very exciting story and a good script. It is worth your acting. I am now starting to read "Yesterday Reappearance".

Huang Kairen: OK!

If "A Needle Hit the Blood" is a plot development that takes people forward like a bulldozer, "Yesterday Reappearance" is a soft science fiction story with a little freshness and passion.

It tells the story of a 28-year-old man who had a big problem with a project he was working on. The related materials were unqualified, which directly caused the project worth hundreds of millions of yuan to fail. He was deeply shocked and decided to return to his hometown after being fired by the company.

However, when he took the high-speed train back to his hometown, he woke up and found himself back to yesterday.

He entered a time loop, and Yuming became an inseparable Yuming.

In such a time loop, he could only experiment and explore his situation again and again, trying to find a way to leave the time loop.

In the process, he accidentally discovered the truth behind the project that he had messed up, so he dug out the truth again and again.

In the process, he accidentally discovered that his female colleague Li Nan had a crush on him, and his boss Liu Dong, who had always taken care of him, had actually been digging holes for him. The company's cleaner turned out to be a spy sent by the rival company, and the colleague who had always been at odds with him was the only one who spoke for him after the project failed...

In such a time loop, he discovered many truths that he had never known before, and with the help of everyone, he finally found evidence to clear his name and ushered in a reversal of life.

...

Lu Yanhe scratched his head.

The script of "Yesterday Reappears" is actually quite well written. Moreover, this is an absolute male-dominated script. Compared with "The Sharp Point", "Yesterday Reappears" actually gives Huang Kairen much more room to perform.

The latter also has many comedy elements in the script. Lu Yanhe laughed many times during the reading process. At the end, the scene where the male protagonist leads his team of protagonists to expose the boss's conspiracy was also very burning and passionate.

Lu Yanhe can probably understand why Huang Kairen is entangled with these two scripts.

The most difficult choice for an actor is to choose one of the two scripts he wants to act in.

However, in fact, if Huang Kairen's situation is not taken into account, Lu Yanhe himself prefers the script "To the Point".

The script "Yesterday Recurred" is a bit like a Japanese hot-blooded comic. It is good-looking, but it is more or less superficial and has a cartoonish feel that is divorced from reality.

It's not that Lu Yanhe doesn't like the sense of comics, but for a background like the workplace, if there are too many comics, it will make him feel very giddy. But this is a matter of personal aesthetics.

It was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

Lu Yanhe sent a message to Huang Kairen, asking: Brother Huang, are you asleep?

Huang Kairen: I have been waiting for your news.

Lu Yanhe made a call directly.

"I have finished reading both scripts." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "Both scripts are very interesting and can be read in one sitting."

Huang Kairen: "I said the same, what do you think? Which one should I play?"

"You make your own decision on this. I'll just tell you my feelings." Lu Yanhe said, "First of all, "To the Heart" is an ensemble play, but because of the group play, everyone basically appears in one scene. It's all the essence, there's nothing overly dramatic, it's basically given right from the start, and it has a lot of room for expression. And because it plays with a structure, the whole story takes place in a hospital environment. At least when I read the script, it felt like it. It has a very strong sense of stage, and the script basically spells out all the editing points. I can basically imagine how the movie will be presented. It can be said that the script has been very solid-no matter which director is filming it, As long as he follows the script, at least the rhythm of the story will not be messed up. Do you know who the director of this movie is?"

Huang Kairen said: "The director of "One Shot" is a new director. He was an editor before and edited "Upstairs"."

Lu Yanhe reacted, no wonder.

"Is he also the screenwriter?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Huang Kairen said: "He is one of the screenwriters."

""Yesterday Comes Again" is also a very interesting story from the perspective of script, but it is not as mature as the script of "Jit to the Heart". If it is put in the hands of a good director, it can produce a good story. It is a very comic and light-hearted film. I personally think that it may be particularly popular with young audiences. However, if the director is average and not good, this subject matter and the form of expression can actually easily make the film look plastic. , it’s just hard to believe this story.”

Lu Yanhe expressed his feelings directly from the perspective of shooting.

"The whole style is actually quite exaggerated. The more it is like this, the more it depends on the director's style. If it is played well, the audience will have fun along with it. If it is played badly, it will be a disaster."

Huang Kairen said: "You actually know the director of "Yesterday Comes Again"."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned, "Who is it?"

"Wu Zhouyou, director of "The Gold Rush."

Lu Yanhe was surprised.

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe found it hard to imagine that Wu Zhouyou, who was filming "The Gold Rush", suddenly came to film "Yesterday Comes Again".

The styles and types of these two stories are also very different. They are completely opposite.

"The Gold Rush" is realism and thriller.

Huang Kairen said: "This is his first time as a film director."

Lu Yanhe said: "I can't say for sure, because although I know him, I have never talked to him. I don't know if he fits the style of "Yesterday Comes Again"."

"If it were you, would you take on "The Hit"?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe admitted, ""Yesterday Comes Back"... for me, in fact, my judgment is not worthy of your reference, because I did not make this decision based on the quality of the script, but myself. In terms of aesthetics, I prefer the genre of "To the Heart". Moreover, I have no experience of working. I have just graduated from college. Maybe the theme of "Yesterday Comes Again" will be particularly empathetic to many office workers. After all, the main plot of the movie is. Putting aside the time loop, it’s a workplace counterattack.”

Huang Kairen pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, I prefer the book "To the Point". However, this book is not a drama with a big male protagonist. Although they will give me a try, in terms of the drama, it must be It doesn’t give me a very large performance space like “Yesterday Comes Again”, which is where I hesitate.”

Huang Kairen's career as an actor is currently at a critical point.

I have just won the Best Actor Award, and will I be able to continue on the road of movies steadily, or will it be a flash in the pan, and I will get poor results if I act in movies later.

For Huang Kairen, the script of "One Hit" and "Yesterday Comes Again" moved him more, but in terms of roles, scenes and directors, they are not as good as the objective conditions of "Yesterday Comes Again".

Of course, it is impossible for an actor to take a role exactly according to his own preferences. Many actors have acted in five or six plays, but they may not be able to play a play that they really like. This is not even an actor who has no right to choose. Lu Yanhe remembers very clearly that Andy Lau once said that when he takes a movie, he usually takes one that he likes and another that the audience may like, in order to achieve a certain goal. kind of balance.

The same goes for Lu Yanhe himself. He didn't really like the movie "Burning" because he had to star in a blockbuster, and among the choices at the time, "Burning" was the best, so he took it.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "Brother Huang, your last movie was "Rouge Button", and you have no other movies after that. Besides "Wulin Gaiden", are there any other upcoming dramas?"

Huang Kairen said: "There is also a workplace drama with a banking background."

Lu Yanhe said: "I would suggest you consider it based on your several upcoming dramas. "Wulin Gaiden" is a sitcom, and the other TV series is a workplace drama with a bank background. In fact, if you put it this way, "Yesterday's Return" "Now" kind of collides with them, comedy, workplace. On the contrary, "One Shot" is a genre that has not appeared in your works. "

"Yes." Huang Kairen said, "That's true. This is another concern of mine. I have never filmed this kind of drama. I don't know if people will buy it if I act in this kind of drama."

"From the perspective of scripts and themes, I think the results of these two works when released later should not be bad." Lu Yanhe said, "Whether you play "The Hit" or "Yesterday", the box office should be pretty good. , their themes are here.”

Huang Kairen: "Do you also think it would be better for me to take on "The Hit"?"

"Don't always ask me for my opinion. I'll be embarrassed if "To the Heart" is not better than "Yesterday Again"." Lu Yanhe said.

"Haha, I believe in your vision."

"No, I won't take this pot." Lu Yanhe immediately refused, "Actually, the best solution is to follow both scripts. If both scripts cannot be followed, my suggestion is to pick which one you want to take, because The results will not be bad. This is not a choice between one good and one bad, this is a choice between two delicious cakes. There is nothing to analyze, it just depends on which one you want to eat. "

"Okay."

"Let's put it this way, if these two scripts came to me for investment, I would be willing to invest. You should understand my attitude."

Huang Kairen was surprised.

-

In fact, Lu Yanhe still didn't say a word, but he was too embarrassed to say it——

With the series "Wulin Gaiden", Huang Kairen doesn't have to worry about the instability of his market in recent years.

"Wulin Gaiden" will push Huang Kairen's popularity and popularity to a peak.

In recent years, Huang Kairen has been able to film some of the dramas he really wants to act in. Perhaps, his acting career path has gradually broadened in this way.

Lu Yanhe didn't say it because he felt that if he said so, it would be too much for the prince to brag about himself.

The first season of "Wulin Gaiden" will be released this summer.

The warm-up has already begun.

For this drama, Lu Yanhe has high hopes and is full of confidence.

Because really speaking, he has written so many scripts, and the one with the highest degree of restoration is "Wulin Gaiden".

I have watched it so many times, and many classic scenes can almost be retold in the original text.

Those classic lines are deeply imprinted in Lu Yanhe's memory.

Mid April.

HP's Tom White came to the set of "Fire" to meet Lu Yanhe.

Tom White comes to China more and more frequently.

The popularity of several Chinese dramas such as "Sixteenth Floor", "Seventeenth Floor", "River of Silence" and "Squid Game" on Maxine has allowed streaming media to see the value of Chinese dramas, and has also made overseas streaming media more enthusiastic about Chinese dramas. A lot.

Tom White attaches great importance to Lu Yanhe, but HP came into contact with Lu Yanhe late, so Maxine was given the lead in the previous dramas, and HP only got a few movies starring Lu Yanhe.

These movies certainly don't perform poorly on HP, but compared with the series, they are indeed worse.

This time, Tom White came here, also wanting to communicate with Lu Yanhe in advance about the subsequent plans.

"I heard that "Six" changed its name? It was changed to "Friends"?"

The original English name of the American TV series is actually "Friends", but there are several Chinese translations, including "Six People" and "Friends".

The English translation of "Six People" in Beijing and Taiwan is a direct translation from Chinese to English, and it is not called "Friends".

Tom White noticed the change in the Chinese name, so he asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "Yes, I left this show for a while, and the director was changed later, so we said that since the show itself tells the story of a group of friends, we would rename it "Friends" when we restart it. It also means we start again.”

Tom White nodded.

"Will "Friends" still be broadcast on Maxine?"

Lu Yanhe said: "This is not the case yet. The copyright of "Six People" is still retained in the hands of Jingtai, but it will be developed and adapted into a new TV series version. This copyright is in the hands of Yuehutai itself. Has the new version still negotiated a cooperation with Maxine? , I don’t know the news yet.”

Tom White asked: "Do you think it would be possible to get it to play on HP?"

Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment and said: "Tom, you know, "Six" has been broadcast on Maxine for three seasons before. Although its reputation in the last two seasons was very bad, in fact, Maxine has many viewers who are loyal fans of it. I hope that a series It can be broadcast from beginning to end in one place.”

Tom White: "Would you mind if our HP snatched it away?"

Lu Yanhe smiled, spread his hands and said, "Tom, competition is a business behavior. My opinion is not important. I am only responsible for producing good content."

Tom White said, "You know, I've always wanted to work with you."

"Of course." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Tom, you are a friend I value very much."

Tom White said: "But all your dramas were taken away by Maxine, including "Squidward Game"."

Lu Yanhe said: "Tom, please believe me, this is because these projects have already been cooperated with before I met you. Maxine noticed the Chinese drama market earlier than you did, and she has cooperated with different companies very early. The partners have reached a cooperation, and I am just a creator.”

"I know, Lu, but I hope that next time you do any scene, you can tell me first, okay?" Tom White said.

Lu Yanhe: "Of course, I will continue to make new series in the future."

"That's great." Tom White nodded, "You know, I'm a fan of your movies, and I hope to have more cooperation with you. As long as it's your project, I'll always follow it."

"Tom, "Wulin Gaiden" written by me will be broadcast in China this summer. Previously, you thought that the core and presentation form of this drama were too Chinese, and you were worried that foreign audiences might not be able to understand it. I suggest you Re-evaluate this drama. "Lu Yanhe said, "It may not be as popular as "Squid Game", but it will definitely be a drama that has its loyal audience. "

Tom White nodded and said, "I will re-evaluate it."

When Lu Yanhe mentioned "Wulin Gaiden", he actually wanted to emphasize to Tom White that he did not give every project to Maxine. He didn't lie. Maxine was able to steal so many of his dramas because when all the major streaming media were not interested in Chinese dramas, Maxine was the first international streaming platform to take a look at it.

They did not discuss cooperation directly with Lu Yanhe.

"Six People" is a Beijing platform, and "Seventeen Floors" is also a Beijing platform.

"Squid Game" is a Northern Lights video.

As for "River of Silence", this is directly Maxine's self-produced drama.

In this case, no matter how good the relationship between Lu Yanhe and Tom White was, it would be impossible for Lu Yanhe to give Tom White the crab that he had already eaten.

What Lu Yanhe wanted to say was that it wasn't that he didn't have other projects that he could work with, but it was just that Tom White wasn't interested in them for the time being.

"Wulin Gaiden" was indeed a project that was rejected by both Maxine and HP.

Even if it is a project written by Lu Yanhe.

Their unanimous comments were that it was too Chinese - foreign audiences couldn't understand it.

Lu Yanhe didn't know what he couldn't understand, but he was really not sure whether foreign audiences would like it.

Because there are many elements in "Wulin Gaiden", really only Chinese people can feel its intention and comedy under the background of Chinese culture.

That sentence "Drink a glass of white wine and make a white (friend)", that's it.

"Actually, I also want to recommend a few Chinese dramas to you. I think they can transcend cultural backgrounds and be loved by global audiences." Lu Yanhe said.

Tom White heard this and asked: "What is it?"

Lu Yanhe said: "The Gold Rush, starring my good friend Yan Liang, tells the story of a treasure hunting group's adventure in searching for treasures in Southeast Asia. It was broadcast in our country in March. Both the ratings and the audience evaluation are very high. , this kind of subject matter, I believe that some people must have paid attention to it, and may have been negotiating. Tom, if you can get this drama to be broadcast on HP, I believe that as long as you operate it properly, it will be a good drama. An episode that brings you positive feedback.”

Tom White said: "I have indeed seen evaluation reports about this show, but I heard that the style of this show is very serious, even scary and dark, which is very difficult for an adventure series. It seems too heavy."

"Isn't this what distinguishes it from other dramas?" Lu Yanhe said, "This is a drama that I am willing to sign and recommend, because I think that by signing my name on the recommender's entry, I am ”

After hearing what Lu Yanhe said, Tom White showed a somewhat solemn look.

"In addition, there is a fantasy love drama starring another good friend of mine, "Washe". It has been aired for a year, but no streaming media has bought it, which surprises me." Lu Yanhe said, "It's The production quality is very worthy of promotion in Asia, because it is a drama starring my good friend, and I watched it from beginning to end. It is very good.”

Tom White nodded.

"I will evaluate them together, Lu, I trust your vision."

"Tom, even if I don't have many projects of my own to cooperate with you, if you are willing, I will recommend to you Chinese dramas that I think are suitable for broadcasting on HP." Lu Yanhe said, "Chinese dramas are a good choice There is a treasure land that has not been really taken seriously. So far, both you and Maxine have focused on me, because my drama has achieved a lot of success, so in fact, if you believe me. If you are willing to give Chinese dramas more opportunities, not just to buy them and put them on the air, but to truly discover their value and formulate promotion strategies based on their themes, content and style, they will achieve greater success than you imagine. success."

Tom White said: "Lu, what kind of dramas do we buy, how much do we spend on them, and how much broadcast data and membership data does it bring us in the end? These all need to be rigorously calculated. Our annual The budget for purchasing dramas is fixed, and it is impossible for us to try projects on a large scale that have not been successful before.”

"Then let's start with "The Gold Rush" and "Washe", especially "The Gold Rush". Its starring Yan Liang is one of the leading actors in "Six People" and has a certain reputation and fans internationally." Lu Yanhe Say, "It will surprise you."

"Okay." Tom White nodded.

-

After meeting Tom White, Lu Yanhe didn't know how Tom White talked with Yue Hutai.

By the end of April, Hu Siwei told Lu Yanhe that the restarted "Friends" might not only be broadcast on Maxine's streaming media, but Maxine and HP might be launched at the same time.

Lu Yanhe was shocked when he heard this.

This is not a domestic TV station, so it is doing dual-channel simulcast or four-channel simulcast.

On international streaming media, basically every work is broadcast exclusively, including TV stations.

At least Lu Yanhe has never heard of this model of hookup.

Can Maxine and HP actually sit down and reach such a cooperation?

What makes Lu Yanhe so confused is that some domestic media have begun to report on this matter.

Said to be the reboot of "Friends", it became a hit before it was even filmed. It was competed by two major international streaming media, and the bidding from both parties exceeded the historical record for Chinese-language dramas.

So far, although there has been no official announcement, everyone has basically acquiesced that Lu Yanhe will definitely return to "Friends", otherwise, the third season will be like that. On foreign evaluation websites, Rotten Tomatoes is rotten. At only 28%, HP is still bidding with Maxine?

After all, there must have been a change that made them all excited.

The only change that could impress them was Lu Yanhe.

According to Hu Siwei's arrangement, "Friends" will appear on hot searches every once in a while, and will return to the audience's horizons with some new news, so that everyone will not forget this show and let everyone experience the third season. After the bloody fight, I still look forward to it.

It can be said that this is almost an extremely rare miracle - in January, the third season was criticized all over the Internet, and in March and April, its new season was suddenly highly anticipated.

This phenomenon has raised eyebrows in the industry.

Even if this person is Lu Yanhe, it is still incomprehensible.

The influence of one person on a project has reached such a decisive level.

-

Sitting in front of Shen Tailin, Jiang Lan sighed lightly.

"Now we in Beijing and Taiwan are like a clown, out." She said helplessly, "If I had been given the responsibility to do "Six People", no matter what, we would not be in this situation now."

Shen Tailin: ""Six" is already a thing of the past. Jiang Tai, how are the preparations for the second season of "Seventeen Floors" going?"

Jiang Lan said: "Don't worry, all aspects are progressing in an orderly manner, and the contracts of the actors have been signed, including Yan He. Filming is expected to start in the fourth quarter of this year and will be broadcast next summer."

Shen Tailin said: "Now "Seventeen Floors" is our most important and core project in Beijing and Taiwan, and there is no room for failure."

"Understood, don't worry when I do my work." Jiang Lan nodded, "Actually, I have another thing I want to see you for."

Shen Tailin nodded, "You say."

"I have taken a fancy to the IP of "Pictures of the Gods". Although the previous movie version was poorly developed and stalled midway, its world view, characters and stories are all first-class. I want to develop a TV series version." Jiang Lan said, "But it's expensive to license, and I need your support."

Hearing this, Shen Tailin frowned and said, "I know "Picture of the Gods", its production cost is not low, right? Even if it is authorized, the post-production special effects will be very expensive."

"Yes." Jiang Lan nodded, "But don't worry, as long as you get the authorization, I will handle the other investments. I will attract investment for the vacant parts."

Shen Tailin asked: "Do you think such a drama and such a big investment are worth it?"

"It's worth it." Jiang Lan nodded, "Whether it's "Sixteen" or "Seventeenth Floor", they actually illustrate the truth. Only by creating an IP with a large number of loyal fans can its value reach the top position. , Otherwise, under the current general background, it is actually difficult to make a profit by broadcasting TV series in the traditional way and relying solely on ratings, and the ratings market is shrinking. "

"Do you want to continue to broadcast "Pictures of the Gods" exclusively on our station instead of selling it to video websites?" Shen Tailin asked.

Jiang Lan nodded and said: "After the TV station finishes broadcasting, it will be launched on the video website. The reason why "Six People" has such high ratings is because if people want to watch this drama, they can only watch it in Beijing and Taiwan. "Picture of the Gods" is the same , Why do I want to make "Pictures of God"? Because "Pictures of God" has its own fan base, and we will only broadcast it in Beijing and Taiwan in the first round. If they want to watch it, they can only watch it in Beijing and Taiwan. "

Shen Tailin: "It's okay to make such an attempt in "Six People". The cost is not high and we can afford it. The early investment of "Shentu" is not on the same level as "Six People"."

"Director, it's not that "Pictures of the Gods" won't be on video websites, it just has to wait until the first round of exclusive broadcasts by TV stations. With the IP influence of "Pictures of Gods", even if it can't be simulcast immediately, video websites will definitely They will pay for it. But if it is a less famous drama, they may not buy it. According to my valuation of this drama and the production budget, the possibility of us losing money is very small. This will make many people willing to pay for it,” Jiang Lan said, “Moreover, if “Picture of the Gods” can be successful, we will not only have one series, but we will have a huge worldview that can develop different characters, different protagonists, and more. A story about the world with different storylines.”

Shen Tailin understood what Jiang Lan meant and why she wanted to buy "Pictures of the Gods".

Her layout and planning are huge.

However, this is a plan that, if accomplished, will pay off equally well.

Shen Tailin nodded.

Since the collapse of "Six People", Xu Bin's status in Beijing and Taiwan has also been slightly affected. In fact, under normal circumstances, the success or failure of one or two projects will not affect the status of a deputy director. However, the significance of "Six People" is quite special. Another thing, Hu Siwei's departure also gave Xu Bin a blow in the head. There were only a few people under Xu Bin who could really do things. Once Hu Siwei left, the impact would be almost as if Xu Bin had broken an arm. It is no exaggeration to say that.

Both Shen Tailin and Jiang Lan basically have a "happy-to-see" attitude.

Xu Bin has great ambitions and is usually strong. Once such a person loses power, there will always be more people applauding than pitying him.

At this time, Jiang Lan proposed to make "Picture of the Gods", which was undoubtedly to grab resources from Xu Bin - there were only so many resources in Beijing and Taiwan, and no matter how big the cake was, it was limited, and each station leader had a share. Jiang Lan came to Shen Tailin today to talk about "The Divine Map" and emphasized the need for support. Naturally, this support could only be obtained from others.

This is for the development of Beijing and Taiwan, not Jiang Lan's own selfishness.

This is the high point of justice that Jiang Lan will occupy when speaking to Shen Tailin today, and it is also a title that gives Shen Tailin a nod.

-

There are few permanent giants in the film and television industry, especially in China.

This market has only just developed in the past 20 to 30 years, and there is not enough time to develop giants.

So, basically, a few projects can launch an upstart, or a few projects can bring down a wealthy family.

High investment, high return, also means high risk.

Even a behemoth like Beijing and Taiwan cannot change the general trend, and while following the trend, there is still competition and change within it.

If you want to stand firm and stay at the top of this industry, you must always keep your feet firmly on the right path.

Otherwise, no matter who they are, they will be marginalized and eliminated over time.

In early May, the temperature gradually rises, and summer is slowly coming.

Lu Yanhe has been filming on the set of "Burning Fire" for almost a month and a half.

On this day, as soon as he came out of his dressing room and went to the set, he heard someone holding a mobile phone exclaiming and talking to others, "HP bought the overseas distribution rights of "The Gold Rush" for a purchase price of US$12 million. !”

"It's so high?! Except for Lu Yanhe's drama, there seems to be no other Chinese drama that has sold overseas distribution rights for such a high price, right?"

"Probably not."

Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment when he heard their discussion.

HP bought "The Gold Rush"?

"Did you see what Tom White said? He learned about such a Chinese drama because of Lu Yanhe's recommendation. After evaluation, he strongly agreed with Lu Yanhe's point of view and believed that this would be a drama that would be loved by audiences around the world. drama, so I bought it.”

"Is Lu Yanhe so awesome? If he recommends a drama, it can sell for a high price of US$12 million."

Don't blame them for being shocked.

In fact, US$12 million is not a high price.

It's just that Chinese-language dramas have always been able to play in their own market. When they go overseas, except for neighboring countries such as South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia, which can sell distribution rights, other places are generally not interested in Chinese-language dramas. Naturally, There is no way to raise the price.

Lu Yanhe heard their discussion and immediately searched the Internet for relevant reports.

The news was reported by Variety magazine in the United States, and was translated and sent back to China.

The content quoted in it does contain Tom White's response. In addition to the part where they said Lu Yanhe recommended it, Tom White also said that Lu Yanhe also recommended another drama to him and they are in the process of negotiating.

Domestic media also reported quickly.

Basically, the media in any country hopes to see their country’s cultural products go overseas and be recognized and liked overseas.

This is human nature. Not only Chinese people, but also foreigners.

HP bought the overseas distribution rights of "The Gold Rush" for $12 million, which is a very rare figure. It is not a bargain price, nor is it a self-promotion and self-promotion, and it is broadcast on a local Chinese TV station overseas, but it is going to be broadcast on HP for global audiences.

Almost all Chinese media will want to report this kind of news.

Because they are proud of it, because of a kind of pride that arises spontaneously.

Lu Yanhe laughed when he saw that the news was basically true.

He was a little proud that "The Gold Rush" was bought by HP. It was nothing else, but that his recommendation was listened to by Tom White, and, obviously, since Tom White was willing to spend this price to buy the play, it means that he also recognized his evaluation, and "The Gold Rush" can be liked by foreign audiences.

At this time, Yan Liang's phone suddenly came.

"Hello?" Lu Yanhe answered the phone.

"Did you really recommend The Gold Rush to Tom White?"

"I recommended it to him before. Did HP really buy The Gold Rush?" Lu Yanhe confirmed with Yan Liang.

Yan Liang said, "It's true. The director just confirmed this in our main creative group. Everyone was very surprised."

Yan Liang said, "They asked me to thank you."

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "I actually just mentioned it. What really moved him was definitely because The Gold Rush itself was of high quality and very good."

Yan Liang: "You don't need to tell me these."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"Director Wu also asked me when you are free and wanted me to invite you out for dinner." Yan Liang said.

Lu Yanhe said, "Okay, it depends on when you are free."

"Okay, then wait until you finish shooting "Burning Fire", then we will make an appointment." Yan Liang said, "The director has been very busy recently. I heard that he is preparing his new play, which is a movie, but the preparation is not going smoothly."

"Not going smoothly?"

"Well, I had dinner with him yesterday, and he mentioned it at the table. He said that because of the subject matter, the investment and actors were not going smoothly." Yan Liang said, "I also asked if I could do it. The director said that the protagonist should be a person around 30 years old with work experience, and I don't meet the requirements."

Lu Yanhe knew that it was actually the "Yesterday Reappearance" that Huang Kairen had shown him before.

He was a little confused: "Isn't it very smooth to find investment for his new movie? He just shot "Gold Rush", which should be very popular with investors, right?"

"After all, "Gold Rush" is a TV series." Yan Liang said, "There is still a wall between TV series and movies. The director said that the film companies he talked to were cautious about his new work, and those who were willing to invest could not give the amount the director wanted." (End of this chapter)
