265. Chapter 261 Art Film
What no one expected was that the impact of this incident and how long it lasted far exceeded their expectations.
Including Chen Ziyan and Wen Minglan.
While Lu Yanhe and others continued to record the program "Young Days", the Internet was in an uproar because of this incident.
The most intense reaction to Wen Minglan's response came from Zhou Lina's fans.
Wen Minglan did not name the actress in her response, but Zhou Lina's black fans claimed it with great fanfare. Using this incident as an excuse, they dug up Zhou Lina's black material and spread it everywhere.
Zhou Lina's fans are not easy to mess with. As experienced fans, on the one hand, they quickly organized to fight against the black fans, and on the other hand, they also diverted the spearhead and questioned the authenticity of what Wen Minglan said. There are two main points of attack:
First, whether the actress was talking about Zhou Lina, let Wen Minglan come out and make it clear, don't let everyone argue in this way.
Second, even if the roles that were removed were given to Zhou Lina, this was also the crew's behavior. The crew valued Zhou Lina's popularity and ability to carry the show, so you can criticize the crew, but why do you criticize Zhou Lina?
Wen Minglan has not been in the industry for long, and she is usually very low-key. She is not a demon, and many people don't know her.
At the beginning, this battle was almost dominated by Zhou Lina and her fans.
However, the next day, Tomorrow Daily released a video of the filming site of "Sanchakou".
In the video, Wen Minglan held two pieces of paper, looking aggrieved and angry, questioning the people in front of her, asking: "Why are there flying pages again? From the time I joined the group until now, I have been shooting flying pages every day. Where is the script that was shown to me before? Why don't you shoot my scenes according to the script?"
A serious-looking man in his fifties in front of Wen Minglan said: "Minglan, don't get excited. This is a temporary adjustment we made based on the shooting situation. The content of the script will be filmed later."
Wen Minglan: "But today's notice said that Lina's scene should not be mine last week? Why did it suddenly move to her?"
The man said: "It's just a similar scene, don't care so much."
"I have been in the group for a month, and I have been shooting flying pages every day until now. Am I caring too much?" Wen Minglan's eyes were red, staring at them, "Or do you bully me because I am a newcomer and think I am easy to bully?"
The girl's face was full of grievances, and her eyes were as sad as a wounded little animal.
The scene was quiet for a while.
"What's going on?" At this time, a man wearing a sweatshirt and a bloated figure came over in cloth shoes.
"Director."
"Director."
...
A group of people greeted each other.
The fat man looked at Wen Minglan, frowned with some disdain, and said, "What's wrong? You look like we are sorry for you?"
Wen Minglan pursed her lips stubbornly and didn't say anything.
The man who had just spoken to Wen Minglan explained to the fat man what happened.
After the fat man heard it, he suddenly got angry at Wen Minglan: "What's wrong with changing your play? Can't we change your play? Just for such a small matter, you are making a fuss here, affecting the normal filming of the crew. Who do you think you are?"
Wen Minglan was scolded by the director for a full five minutes in front of everyone.
After watching this video, Lu Yanhe was shocked. He didn't expect Wen Minglan to be scolded like this. To be honest, Lu Yanhe thought at first that no matter what happened, this kind of behavior of leaving the crew during filming was a bit wrong. Can't you talk about it properly? After watching the video, Lu Yanhe just wanted to apologize to Wen Minglan for his previous thoughts.
Lu Yanhe also thought, no wonder Chen Ziyan said that Wen Minglan's matter was just a small matter compared to his.
The fact that this video can be released today must be related to Chen Ziyan.
He has fully experienced Sister Ziyan's methods.
Wen Minglan had been scolded for a whole day yesterday, and her fame was getting bigger and bigger. After watching the video at this time, those who scolded Wen Minglan will realize what Wen Minglan experienced in the crew and turn to sympathy instead - the information given in this video is very solid and sufficient. Wen Minglan endured for a month before she couldn't bear it anymore and had an attack, but the crew headed by the director didn't care about Wen Minglan at all, or even didn't take her seriously. Instead, they blamed her for delaying the crew's filming progress and scolded her for five minutes in front of everyone.
Sure enough, as Lu Yanhe expected, as soon as the video was released, the reputation of Wen Minglan on the Internet changed instantly.
The wind direction of public opinion turned to her, and the crew was scolded, including Zhou Lina.
Columnist and entertainment news commentator Mao Yu directly fired at the crew of "Sanchakou": I originally thought that it was the young girl Wen Minglan who didn't know the rules at a young age and caused damage to the crew, but I didn't expect that it was the crew who didn't follow the rules, bullied the young girl, and turned the tables, bah! Dirty things!
Mao Yu's attitude can be said to represent the attitude of most media people.
It's really that the director in the video went too far. His behavior was so bad that many young women felt empathy. When talking about their own workplace environment and when they were humiliated by their bosses like this.
After fermenting for most of the day, the voices of condemnation against "Sanchakou" almost reached their peak in the evening.
This drama has begun to be boycotted by many people.
-
"Young Days" recording scene.
Lu Yanhe found that everyone was even a little absent-minded and wanted to discuss the matter, but due to the camera filming, no one spoke.
However, the storm of public opinion caused by this incident is no longer just a small incident in the entertainment industry.
Everyone’s focus has even turned to workplace bullying.
In the end, it was Song Linxin who couldn't help it.
She said: "Can we turn off the phone for a while, otherwise I will be suffocated!"
She didn't say what it was, but everyone knew what she was talking about.
They have been discussing this matter in the group chat.
The matter has become so big that no one in the entertainment industry is paying attention.
Everyone looked at each other.
Peng Zhixing said: "How about we discuss this matter openly?"
"Isn't this bad?" Liu Zhiyin was the first to object, "We don't know the reason or the details. We all heard about it from the Internet. Let's just discuss it in private. When discussing on this show, it's easy to say something carelessly. Cause uncontrollable consequences and hurt others.”
Lu Yanhe also nodded and said, "Many of us are actors and will be acting in various theater groups in the future. This matter is somewhat sensitive."
Song Linxin nodded and said, "That's why I told you to request a one-hour shutdown with the director team."
Peng Zhixing: "How could the director agree to this?"
At this time, Li Zhenzhen came out.
She sat with everyone and said, "What's the reason why everyone doesn't want to discuss this matter on this show? Are you afraid of saying the wrong thing, or are you afraid of offending people?"
Li Zhibai: "It's all there. I must be worried about it. It's no nonsense. If there were no cameras, we would have started chatting long ago."
"This matter has a great impact, and more and more people are participating in the discussion." Li Zhenzhen said, "I want to discuss it with everyone. Can we just sit down and discuss this matter in a small forum? This I don’t plan to put this video into the main part of the program, but to make a special episode that will be broadcast online tomorrow. After the recording, everyone will work with us to edit this video. If you think it is not suitable for broadcast after talking about it, , then take it down.”
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe looked at Li Zhenzhen in surprise, not expecting that she would suddenly come up with such an idea.
Li Zhenzhen said: "I think this opportunity is actually quite rare. It just happened to happen to us, and we are all young artists. If we can sit together and discuss this matter, we can also provide everyone with more information." Rich perspectives. We don’t need to make positive or negative opinions, just express what everyone is thinking about this matter.”
Lu Yanhe looked at Li Zhenzhen's serious expression and thought, OK, the idealistic and humanistic Li Zhenzhen is here again.
Can such a special episode be filmed?
Lu Yanhe was actually persuaded by Li Zhenzhen.
"Let's all vote by a show of hands." Peng Zhixing said, "or if you don't want to participate in this part at all, just leave. I think Sister Zhenzhen is right. If we don't discuss the right and wrong of it, we are just expressing it. What are we thinking about on this matter, and I think I still have something to say.”
Li Zhibai shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't care. If the director wants to shoot, I will shoot. Remember to pay me extra money and suddenly shoot a special. This is not written into the contract. Although I am happy to say it, I Not happy to work for nothing.”
Li Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing Li Zhibai's words.
"OK."
Li Zhenzhen said: "Then give everyone ten minutes. After ten minutes, I will come back to ask for your opinions. If you are willing to speak, we will prepare it and record it directly."
Li Zhenzhen left directly and returned to the workroom. She immediately called the person in charge of Icefield Video to communicate about the special series. First, it would be online tomorrow. Second, she would add money. The person in charge of Icefield Video was stunned when she heard this, and then said that as long as she can get the artists to discuss such a special episode, she will pay for an additional issue at the normal price. Li Zhenzhen hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Chen Biqiu waited for her to hang up the phone and asked, "Don't you always like to enjoy the heat?"
"This kind of thing that everyone is discussing is not just a matter of popularity. If we don't discuss it, it is abnormal." Li Zhenzhen said, "Besides, I am also serious. Each of the artists on our show has bigger ideas than the last, and they all think about it normally. A lot of people want to talk about this, but they just have too many concerns, so I’ll give them a push, it’s a win-win situation.”
Chen Biqiu smiled and said, "No matter what you think, I have to say that this is a good time."
Li Zhenzhen made a comparison.
-
The Wen Minglan incident has become more and more intense, and more and more people have come forward to speak out for Wen Minglan. However, the crew of "Sanchakou" and Zhou Lina have never come out to respond to this matter. They seem to be trying to silence the heat of this matter. .
However, this incident was beyond their imagination.
When "Young Days", a popular program that has aired for two episodes, suddenly announced that it would launch a special episode in two hours, the guests of "Young Days" sat down to discuss the matter, which instantly made the already hot and exciting program go online. The pot he soaked in was smashed directly through the bottom of the pot.
-
Chen Ziyan asked Lu Yanhe on the phone: "Are you speaking for Minglan?"
“Not really.” Lu Yanhe said, “We didn’t support any side. We were just discussing our attitude towards this kind of thing, the relationship between actors and crews, the professional bottom line that actors should abide by, and the rules that crews should abide by.”
“That’s fine. Li Zhenzhen suddenly organized such a special. I didn’t want you to participate. It’s too sensitive. You and Minglan are both artists I manage.” Chen Ziyan sighed, “But Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both participated. If you don’t participate, it will seem abrupt.”
“There will definitely be controversy, but I think Sister Zhenzhen said something very right.” Lu Yanhe said, “For an artist, you are not afraid of no controversy. What you are afraid of is that no one knows and no one remembers you. If you are afraid of controversy and are timid when making a show, then there are too many things to worry about. You can’t do anything. No matter what you say, it will offend some people. I think she said it right. It makes sense. Moreover, when we sat together to discuss whether to participate in the filming of this special, we finally reached a consensus. This happened. It is not just about Wen Minglan and "Sanchakou". Many people in the entertainment industry have spoken out in the past two days. We also have our attitude. "
Chen Ziyan: "Speaking out will bring changes to the environment, but the first person to speak out may not be the one who enjoys the dividends of environmental changes. The first bird to be shot will be shot. You still have to remember this. Don't be rash and speak without restraint. Li Zhibai has the confidence and capital to do so. He has been like this since his debut. He speaks without restraint, so even if he says something he shouldn't say, everyone is very tolerant of him. But you are different. You are a top student, a student of Zhenhua, and your image is too good. This is also a kind of constraint, because everyone will be less tolerant of you. "
Lu Yanhe hummed.
As soon as the "Young Days" special was broadcast, it really caused an uproar on the Internet.
Except for Song Linxin's agent who firmly disagreed with her participating in the recording of this special, all other guests of "Young Days" participated in the recording.
No one directly said whether they supported Wen Minglan or "The Crossroads", they only talked about their own opinions, but the audience would interpret and associate.
Almost every word of everyone was screenshotted and interpreted in various ways.
Whether it was the show "Young Days" or the artists like Lu Yanhe who expressed their own ideas and opinions, they all became hot searches at the speed of a rocket.
Moreover, it was hung for two or three days, and even when "Young Days" was finished, the hot searches had not gone down.
This popularity was unexpected by everyone.
What many people did not expect was that a hot search term suddenly popped up: How long will "The Crossroads" pretend to be dead? -
"Is this the work of Sister Zi Yan?" Li Zhibai asked.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it shouldn't be. Sister Zi Yan doesn't seem like the kind of person who would openly fire at them."
According to Chen Ziyan's previous style of doing things, she would directly use ruthless tactics to force the other party to submit. This behavior of directly buying hot search terms to question the crew of "Sanchakou" seems extremely sharp, but "Sanchakou" has been ridiculed online for several days, so why should we be afraid of a new wave of ridicule? In essence, it is still the same thing, with a little momentum and little fire, which is not Chen Ziyan's style.
Li Zhibai asked: "What if it was Sister Ziyan, what would she do?"
Lu Yanhe said: "I don't know either. If I can guess what Sister Ziyan will do, I can be a master and don't need an agent."
Li Zhibai: "What would you do if you were Wen Minglan?"
"I am Wen Minglan?" Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said: "I will ask Sister Ziyan to negotiate with the crew. Since we have signed the contract, we have an advantage. They violated the contract first. Whether we continue to shoot or not, communicating with them through Sister Ziyan may not ferment so much. Big. "
Yan Liang said: "But, after this incident, Wen Minglan's fans have increased by more than two million. This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Now everyone mainly supports her opinions. "
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said: "There are two sides. The good side is of course what you said, but there is also a bad side. Wen Minglan's willful way of putting everything on the table will make her be put on the risk list by many crews, which will affect her future efforts to fight for other dramas. Sister Zi Yan said so. "
Being more famous is of course a good thing for an artist. Willful, when being wronged, just flip the stage and let the crew be put on the fire. For an actor, such a label, whether right or wrong, will become a supporting proof of her "difficulty".
-
As soon as the program was recorded, Lu Yanhe had to go back to school the next day.
It happened that the class the next day was an elective course in sociology, and the teacher mentioned the conflict between Wen Minglan and the crew in class.
When this matter was mentioned, everyone looked at Lu Yanhe with curiosity.
Lu Yanhe looked at the podium without changing his expression. I thought it was just a mention, but I didn't expect the teacher to assign an assignment, asking everyone to write a commentary on this matter.
After class, some students came to Lu Yanhe and asked about the details of the matter. They wanted to know what was not reported.
Lu Yanhe still had to act innocent and said he didn't know.
Everyone was a little disappointed.
Lu Yanhe packed his schoolbag and found a place to study.
It started to rain suddenly when he was walking halfway. There was no other way, so Lu Yanhe had to divert to a nearby teaching building, but he didn't expect to bump into Mao Jiayang.
"Hey, Yan He, what a coincidence, you come to class?"
"I just finished class and it started to rain while I was walking on the road, so I came in to take shelter," Lu Yanhe said.
Mao Jiayang nodded, walked to Lu Yanhe, suddenly lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "How was the Trojan horse in your computer last time? Have you found the person who implanted the Trojan horse in your computer?"
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I found it, but I haven't even used the trap you set for me yet, and I was caught by someone else because of my carelessness."
Mao Jiayang's eyes widened in shock, "Huh? You weren't caught in that little trap I made for you?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe still expressed his thanks, "But luckily you discovered it first. That person also lied and did not admit that he installed a Trojan horse into my computer. He only said that he wanted to steal some information from my computer."
Mao Jiayang suddenly understood, nodded, and said, "Okay, as long as the person is caught."
He waved his hand and said, "I have classes later, so I'll go up first."
"Bye-Bye."
Lu Yanhe found a classroom with no classes, went in, sat down, and took out the laptop in his bag.
I originally wanted to write a review article for the sociology course first, but after creating a new document, I was unable to concentrate.
The person who planted the Trojan horse in his computer was Chen Mo, but he was completely unaware of the follow-up and left everything to Chen Ziyan to follow up.
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but wonder, who was instructing Chen Mo to do this?
Will He Zhonghui know?
He Zhong never responded to the messages sent to He Zhong. Lu Yanhe didn't continue to post. He didn't necessarily want to find out anything from He Zhong. He didn't think he could do something that even Chen Ziyan couldn't do. It's just that the feeling of sitting and waiting for news now makes him very uncomfortable, as if he is "sitting and waiting for death."
The phone buzzed and vibrated twice.
Miao Yue sent him a message and asked him if he was free at noon.
Lu Yanhe replied: What happened at school?
Miao Yue said: I want to meet a producer, and I would like you to accompany me. He wants to buy the film adaptation rights of one of my novels, but I have no relevant experience before and am afraid of being cheated.
Lu Yanhe immediately replied with a good word.
Miao Yue was both his classmate and the author of "Jump Up". Due to her emotions and reasons, he always accepted Miao Yue's request to him.
He added: But I don’t know much about this matter. Where is your editor?
Miao Yue said: I did not sign with the company, and my editor is not responsible for these things.
Unlike writers like Liu Jiazhen and Mingyin who signed cooperation agreements directly with Jiangyin Publishing House, although Miao Yue has published two books, it is only a book contract, not a personal contract.
Miao Yue only signed a physical publishing contract with the publisher at that time, and all other copyrights were in her own hands.
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said: We have a senior student, Xu Mingyue, who is now an intern at Jiangyin Publishing House. She should still know more about this area than us. Why not invite her to join us?
Miao Yue: I don’t know her. Can you help me invite her?
Lu Yanhe: Let me ask.
Unexpectedly, Xu Mingyue agreed immediately.
Xu Mingyue said: Has Miao Yue not signed with a publishing company yet?
Lu Yanhe said yes.
Lu Yanhe guessed that Xu Mingyue might have wanted to sign Miao Yue to Jiangyin Publishing House.
However, Xu Mingyue is only an intern now. She should not have such authority, and she has to find Xu Xiaoyin, who will take care of her.
The rain stopped around 11:30.
Lu Yanhe met them at the east gate of the school.
Miao Yue called an online taxi and took them to the restaurant.
"Senior sister, Yan He, I'm sorry to trouble you today." Miao Yue said.
Xu Mingyue said: "What is this trouble? We are all classmates in the same college. Of course I will help if I can. However, Miao Yue, I heard that your mother is a writer. Doesn't your mother help you in this regard?" "
Miao Yue shook her head and said, "My mother has always written traditional literature. When it comes to physical publishing and literary criticism, my mother knows a lot of people, but when it comes to film and television adaptations, she knows less about them than I do."
Xu Mingyue asked: "What is the name of the producer who asked you? Which company is he from?"
"Liu Bige, from Longyan Pictures," Miao Yue said, "It has been three years since my novel was published, and he suddenly contacted me and asked me if I still have the film and television rights."
"It is a good thing to be able to sell the copyright." Xu Mingyue said, "It can not only promote the sales of your book for a second time, increase your popularity, but also earn an adaptation fee."
Miao Yue nodded and said, "Yes, I also want to sell it, but no one has ever asked for it, and it is indeed not very popular. A total of 15,000 copies were sold."
"What's your name? What's the subject?"
""Late Spring" is actually some stories that happened after a few first-year high school students met in a cram school during the summer vacation." Miao Yue said, "There are no ups and downs in the storyline, just some daily short stories, which are completely based on my Those people I met in the cram school back then.”
"Are you in love?"
"No." Miao Yue said, "Who dared to fall in love at that time."
"That's not a popular adaptation theme at the moment." Xu Mingyue asked, "You should be able to see an introduction to this book online, right?"
Miao Yue nodded, "Yes."
Xu Mingyue immediately checked it online on her mobile phone.
At that time, the publisher introduced the book as "a fleeting summer, a group of confused teenagers".
? ? ?
Xu Mingyue was stunned when she saw this line of words.
Is there any publisher that can write copy so perfunctorily? It would be strange if such a book could be sold!
Looking at the publisher again, it was not a serious publisher, and Xu Mingyue had never heard of it.
Xu Mingyue almost asked Miao Yue directly why she wanted to publish a book in such a publisher - fortunately, the words came to her lips, but she finally held back and did not say something that should not be said.
Because she has not read the content of the original work, Xu Mingyue is not sure what the adaptation prospects of this book are.
But according to what Miao Yue said, this novel is not the kind of novel with a strong plot, and it is generally not favored by adaptations.
But today we are just chatting, and there is no need to make any decisions, so the pressure is not great.
-
When they arrived, Liu Bige had already arrived. He had booked the restaurant. When Lu Yanhe came in with Miao Yue, Liu Bige was obviously stunned when he saw Lu Yanhe.
Liu Bige didn't know that Lu Yanhe would come today. This was a bit unexpected.
Miao Yue explained as soon as she entered the door: "Producer Liu, I brought two of my classmates here. Is it okay?"
This question only eased Liu Bige's surprise and confusion.
Miao Yue didn't tell him in advance just to leave Liu Bige no room for refusal.
Liu Bige smiled and waved his hand, saying: "It's okay, please sit down."
He smiled and nodded, saying: "I remember that you are also studying in Zhenhua, and you are classmates."
He said this to Lu Yanhe.
"Hello." Lu Yanhe greeted politely.
Liu Bige stood up and took a kettle to pour water for the three of them.
Several people were flattered and hurriedly said "We can do it ourselves", but Liu Bige still insisted on pouring water for them before putting down the kettle.
"You're welcome."
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the dishes.
Liu Bige said: "Let's eat and talk. A friend brought me to this restaurant. She is also in school like you. She always says that the food I usually eat is not what you young people like to eat."
"You are only... about 30 years old?" Miao Yue asked hesitantly.
Liu Bige looks like he is about 30 years old, and his appearance is still young. If it weren't for his mature aura, wearing a shirt and trousers, and changing to a younger hairstyle, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is a college student.
He nodded and said: "32 years old."
"I can't tell." Xu Mingyue said, "Don't they say that the entertainment industry is a very laborious place? It seems to be the opposite for you."
Liu Bige smiled and said: "That may be because I am relatively free, not busy enough, and the pressure is not big enough."
"How could it be." Xu Mingyue didn't know how to respond.
But Liu Bige had already taken over the conversation himself, saying, "But I did just come back from overseas not long ago. I used to stay in France."
"Huh?"
"I studied film in France and have been working as an assistant there since graduation." Liu Bige said, "I returned to China last year and joined Longyan Film. I didn't do any serious work. I was looking for projects for a long time. My friend recommended your novel to me."
Miao Yue looked embarrassed and said, "I wrote "Late Spring" when I was a sophomore in high school. It's not very mature."
Liu Bige said, "It's well written. I like it very much, so I contacted you and wanted to talk about the film adaptation."
Miao Yue nodded.
"Have you considered adapting it into a movie?" Liu Bige asked Miao Yue.
Miao Yue: "Of course I have thought about it, but no one has contacted me. The publisher of this novel also recommended it to some film and television companies, but because the main line is not very obvious and most of it is daily life, no company wants to shoot it."
Liu Bige nodded and said, "It's indeed not a good story for a commercial movie."
"Then-" Miao Yue looked puzzled.
Xu Mingyue knew that Miao Yue was hesitant at this time. Perhaps it was difficult for her to ask some questions, or perhaps she didn't know what Liu Bige meant. During this period, Xu Mingyue and Xu Xiaoyin had seen many people and many things together. She thought she was the most experienced among them, so she picked up the topic and said, "Producer Liu, what kind of movie do you want to adapt this novel into?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Liu Bige said calmly, "but there is definitely no way to expect to make money in theaters."
"Since there is no way to expect to make money, why do you want to develop it into a movie?" Xu Mingyue asked with some doubts.
"I just said that it can't expect to make money in theaters. From my observation, there is almost no survival soil for this type of theaters in China." Liu Bige said, "It can only be made into a low-cost art film and take this path. As for why I want to develop it into a movie, the reason has been said. I like this novel, and I just happened to be looking for a project to do, so I took a fancy to it."
Low-cost art film?
Before the three of them came, they really didn't think about it in this direction.
Liu Bige said: "Anyway, today is just a chat. There is no need to rush to make a decision now. I have to explain the conditions I can give. Within five years, exclusive film shooting rights and a licensing fee of 150,000 yuan. This is what I Of course, the conditions that can be given are that Longyan Pictures will sign the contract in the end, and the exclusive film shooting rights will also belong to Longyan.”
Miao Yue looked surprised.
"150,000 yuan?"
"Compared with the market price, this price is much lower." Xu Mingyue said directly.
"Indeed, I also know that IP is popular now, and the general copyright price has reached millions, but as I said just now, those are all adaptations of commercial themes, which are not applicable to the situation of "Late Spring"." Liu Bige said , "Miao Yue, if you are willing to authorize it to me, I will find a screenwriter to adapt it into a script, find a director, and build a shooting team."
Miao Yue was a little hesitant and hesitant.
Of course, there is no way to make a decision right now.
Lu Yanhe then asked: "Producer Liu, can I ask a question?"
"Excuse me."
"If you adapt "Late Spring" into a movie, do you have any goals for this movie?" Lu Yanhe said, "I know it is a literary film, and there is no way it can be made for the purpose of making money. If it is to make money, you will definitely not use it to make literature and art. "But other than that, what are your expectations for this movie?"
Liu Bige smiled, "Of course I hope it can win some awards at the top international film festivals, but such verbal expectations are meaningless. It depends on how it turns out in the end. If the film goes well, I will go find my colleagues who worked with me in France before, and maybe it would be good to go to an international film festival.”
Liu Bige gave Lu Yanhe a very strange feeling.
He was very elegant and polite in every move he made, but there seemed to be a carelessness in his words, as if it didn't matter even if he didn't get Miao Yue's authorization in the end.
Maybe for him, "Late Spring" is just one of many choices. If you get the authorization, do it; if you don’t get the authorization, don’t do it.
Liu Bige suddenly looked at Lu Yanhe and asked, "Would you consider acting in an artistic film?"
"Literary film? Do you mean "Late Spring"?" Lu Yanhe asked subconsciously.
"I'm not just referring to this film, I'm just chatting." Liu Bige said, "I often see your name on the Internet during this period. You are very popular, but it seems that there is a barrier between popular actors and literary films. It’s very thick and it’s hard to see a popular actor acting in an art film.”
Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment and said, "If it's a script I like, I will act in it."
"Aren't you worried that the poor box office performance of literary and artistic films will have a negative impact on you?" Liu Bige suddenly asked in a very targeted manner. After asking, he explained, "On the day after I returned to China, I participated in several projects. Basically They are all literary films. I discovered an interesting phenomenon. As long as it is a director who has not produced a masterpiece, even if the actors like it when they read the script, they will reject it in the end. Of course there are various reasons for this, but in fact they are all concerns. The film did not do well at the box office and was known as a box office poison. Generally, only actors who are not very popular would be willing to take the role.”
Lu Yanhe: "I haven't played a leading role yet, and I haven't considered these aspects. But for me, I'm not actually very popular. It's all fake. Everyone who pays attention to me may not like me that much. It's my burden. It’s not that big.”
Liu Bige nodded, "Many actors told me the same thing as you when they talked to me, but in the end they still refused when making a decision."
His expression suddenly became uninterested.
"This is the part that confuses me the most. Why can't I tell the truth directly?"
"I'm not necessarily telling you lies. It's just that the market is huge and there are many choices. They are telling the truth when they tell you they are willing to act. When making a decision, they may have other choices, or they may not be able to make the decision themselves. The company and the agent People don't agree to take it." Lu Yanhe said, "If you think I am telling the truth, if you want to find a script that suits me, just send me the script. Then you will know whether I am telling the truth."
Liu Bigo glanced at Lu Yanhe in surprise. This was an answer he had not expected.

After chatting with Liu Bige, on the way back, Xu Mingyue said with some worry: "Why do I feel that Liu Bige is a bit unreliable? I have also dealt with many producers and other people in the film and television company. Although It is said that people come in all shapes and sizes, but none of them are as...sloppy as he seems."
"Maybe it has something to do with him coming back from France." Miao Yue chuckled.
"What do you think?" Xu Mingyue asked Miao Yue, "The price he offered is 150,000 yuan, which is indeed not high, but for a literary and artistic film, it is reasonable. It cannot be said that he is deliberately giving a low price."
Miao Yue said: "I have to go back and think about the money seriously... Anyway, if he doesn't buy it, no one else will buy it, and I won't think about it anymore."
"Then what are you mainly thinking about now?" Xu Mingyue asked.
"I want to find out what kind of person Liu Bige is first," Miao Yue said. "I'm afraid of meeting a liar or getting into some trap. If not, this is an opportunity. I still want to adapt my book into a movie.”
Xu Mingyue nodded and said, "I will also help you find out through the relationship with the publishing house."
She looked at Lu Yanhe, who was sitting in the passenger seat. The latter turned to look out the window, as if he was thinking about something and was in a daze.
"Yanhe, what are you thinking about?" Xu Mingyue asked.
Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and said, "I'm thinking about what he just said to me about art films."
"What if he really gave you a script?"
"Then read the script." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "But as you all know, I have a lot of classes to take. Between acting and school, I will definitely prioritize school in the next few years. My agent said that he would find more supporting roles for me in the future. I won't consider the leading role for now. I really can't spare so much time to shoot."
"If it's just a movie, it shouldn't take much shooting time, right?" Xu Mingyue asked.
"Not really, it will take one or two months at the shortest." Lu Yanhe said.
At this time, Liu Bige, who had just been added as a friend, suddenly sent him a message: Liu Bige, Longyan Films.
Lu Yanhe saved the note.
At this time, Chen Ziyan sent a message: "The Golden Age" released stills today, you have to cooperate with the crew to post your stills on the social platform.
Followed by a promotional still made by the crew.
It was the moment when Lu Yanhe walked in from the front door of the classroom. His facial features showed a clear and relaxed youthful temperament. The golden sunlight bloomed behind him, and his eyes were bright, like the morning sun, the breeze, and the early morning when the snow melted in spring.
Next to the character was a row of vertical characters: Lu Yanhe plays Yao Yu'an.
Lu Yanhe clicked on the large picture with surprise and exclaimed in his heart.
He replied: OK!
He asked again: Are we posting it now?
Chen Ziyan said: Let's post it at 8 o'clock in the evening. Set the timer.
Lu Yanhe immediately set it.
Chen Ziyan: The texture of the stills is very good.
Lu Yanhe: Nodding frantically.
Chen Ziyan: The feeling you have in the stills is very different from the feeling you give people usually. The director really caught some details of you. Your eyes are very good. (End of this chapter)
