Chapter 277 Guest Appearance (11,000 Words Updated!)
Shi Xia is Shi Xia. Many people who didn't reserve seats came one after another, filling up the aisles and back rows. This is the appeal of a great writer. Even if you are not a literature major, you still know him, have read his works, and are his readers, and want to listen to his sharing on the spot.
Lu Yanhe and Wang Xiao were both Shi Xia's liaisons and responsible for coordination on the spot.
When Shi Xia came on stage and started speaking, their work came to an end.
Wang Xiao suddenly winked at Lu Yanhe and signaled Lu Yanhe to look in a certain direction.
Lu Yanhe was stunned and looked in the direction indicated by Wang Xiao.
In the second row of the audience, Chen Siqi was sitting there.
Lu Yanhe immediately laughed.
Chen Siqi didn't see him, but listened attentively to Shi Xia's childhood stories.
Wang Xiao whispered to Lu Yanhe: "Did Editor-in-Chief Chen come here specifically for Teacher Shi Xia?"
Lu Yanhe could see the teasing in Wang Xiao's eyes as soon as he turned his head.
He smiled, shook his head and said, "How else could he have come back just for me?"
Wang Xiao: "I haven't said hello to Editor-in-Chief Chen yet. You have to introduce me to him later. Editor-in-Chief of "Jump Up". You have come to share your experience, but Editor-in-Chief Chen hasn't come yet. In a year or two, we have to invite Editor-in-Chief Chen to come as well."
Lu Yanhe looked at Wang Xiao helplessly, but he didn't refuse.
Wang Xiao, the senior, often talks nonsense and gives people the illusion of "not being serious" from time to time, but apart from that, he is a person with outstanding comprehensive qualities in all aspects.
He can stand out in a university like Zhenhua and become the mainstay of the Youth Association. His future is also clearly bright.
To some extent, he and Chen Siqi have a lot in common in terms of career ambition.
In order to get someone, you can use the grinding work.
In order to get Lu Yanhe to the Youth Association, Wang Xiao also repeatedly ground Lu Yanhe, just like Chen Siqi is grinding Shi Xia now.
-
Shi Xia is here to give a lecture, Miao Yue will definitely come to listen to the lecture.
As her counselor, Chen Shiqiu realized that this must be something special when he saw the man next to her again.
Last time, Lu Yanhe said that the man was a producer who wanted to buy the film adaptation rights of Miao Yue's novel, which dispelled Chen Shiqiu's suspicion, but after a few months, he saw him next to Miao Yue again, and Chen Shiqiu's radar as a counselor immediately started beeping.
The man who appeared next to Miao Yue today was of course Liu Bige, who had been writing the script of "Late Spring" with Miao Yue recently.
Liu Bige came here today, also for Shi Xia, and asked Miao Yue to help him make an appointment and grab a seat.
As soon as Shi Xia's lecture ended, Chen Shiqiu saw Miao Yue and Liu Bige preparing to go out together, and immediately followed them.
Under his nose today, he would never let Miao Yue foolishly follow Liu Bige out of school.
He pretended to be surprised in the corridor and stopped Miao Yue.
"Miao Yue, which college is this student from?" Chen Shiqiu asked with a smile.
Miao Yue looked at Chen Shiqiu in surprise and said, "Teacher Chen, isn't this the producer I told you last time who wants to adapt my novel into a movie? Liu Bige."
Liu Bige stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Shiqiu.
"Teacher Chen, hello, I'm Liu Bige."
Chen Shiqiu shook hands with him, looked at him carefully, and said, "Liu... producer? Is it appropriate for me to call you that?"
"You are welcome, it's all right." Liu Bige smiled faintly.
Chen Shiqiu asked, "How is your film going?"
"Still writing the script." Liu Bige said.
Chen Shiqiu nodded and looked at Miao Yue, "Miao Yue, are you also involved in the script creation?"
Miao Yue nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher Chen, I am also a screenwriter, I am writing with him."
Chen Shiqiu was stunned.
He didn't expect that this script was actually related to Miao Yue.
He originally wanted to ask Miao Yue, since the script has nothing to do with you, and you sold your novel to them to be adapted into a movie, and the subsequent events have nothing to do with you, why are you still so close to Liu Bige?
Chen Shiqiu was mainly worried that Miao Yue, a freshman girl, was deceived by a person in society.
Especially this kind of person who is outside the school and much older than Miao Yue.
Now he has no name, so he can't say anything more.
Miao Yue saw that Chen Shiqiu was silent, so she said: "Teacher Chen, then I will send him out first."
"Well, come back early, I will come to your place to check the dormitory at ten o'clock." Chen Shiqiu still said.
"Well, Teacher Chen, I will send him to the school gate and come back." Miao Yue said.
"Then we will leave first." Liu Bige glanced at Chen Shiqiu, nodded, and left with Miao Yue.
Chen Shiqiu's eyes narrowed instantly.
Was it his illusion? Why did he feel that Liu Bige's last look just now was a bit like provoking him?
"Teacher Chen." Lu Yanhe's voice sounded from behind him.
Chen Shiqiu turned around and saw Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi.
Although it was the first time he saw Chen Siqi in person, he had seen her photos online before.
Chen Siqi, who had been on the hot search several times with Lu Yanhe, is now a minor celebrity because of the editor-in-chief of "Jump Up".
"Yan He, Siqi." Chen Shiqiu greeted them.
Chen Siqi was still a little surprised, "Does Teacher Chen know me?"
Chen Shiqiu laughed, "Of course I know him, I am a loyal reader of "Jump Up"."
Chen Siqi smiled flattered and greeted him: "Hello, Teacher Chen."
Chen Shiqiu glanced at Lu Yanhe and said, "Where will Siqi stay tonight?"
Chen Siqi said: "I have a flight back to Jiangguang in the evening, and now I have to go to the airport."
Chen Shiqiu looked at her in surprise: "Going back so late?"
"Yes, there is a class at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I have to rush back to class." Chen Siqi said, "Today I came to see Teacher Shi Xia. I just said hello to him. Now that the task is completed, I have to go back."
Lu Yanhe also said: "Mr. Chen, I'm going to ask you for leave tonight. I won't sleep in the dormitory tonight. I'll take her to the airport. It's probably twelve o'clock when she comes back."
Chen Shiqiu nodded, "Okay, no problem."
-
"Teacher Shi Xia has been refusing to let go. Are you okay?" Lu Yanhe asked Chen Siqi.
"Where are we now? I'm ready for a protracted war." Chen Siqi said calmly, "There's no rush."
Lu Yanhe nodded, "I'm still worried that Teacher Shi won't let go and you will be a little unhappy."
"How can it be possible? For such a great writer, you have been pestering someone for more than half a year and you expect others to give you the manuscript. How is it possible? Who doesn't cherish their own feathers? Our magazine has only run so few issues." Chen Siqi said , "Liu Jiazhen is willing to give us the manuscript because you and his personal friend and Jiangyin Publishing House have contributed to it. Teacher Baduanjin is willing to give us the manuscript because we need each other. Then Teacher Shi Xia is willing to give us the manuscript." Is there anything we need?"
Lu Yanhe asked: "Where is Teacher Baduanjin from? I haven't met him yet. If there is a chance, let's have a meal together."
Chen Siqi said: "He is not in Yuming. When there is an opportunity, I will make arrangements."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Siqi added: "The program "Idol Era" hopes to place advertisements in three issues of our magazine. Do you think it is appropriate?"
"What do you think?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Siqi thought for a while and said: "To be honest, I don't really want to add advertising pages to the magazine. Now we can make money just by selling our own works, but if we want to further expand the magazine, we still lack funds." Yes, to be honest, I want to further increase the manuscript fee on the current basis. As long as the manuscript fee is high enough, there will be no shortage of good authors to write good manuscripts for us. I want all authors to know that the manuscript fee for "Jump Up" is high. , so that all authors are willing to contribute to us.”
"Then how about making a separate advertising page and sandwiching it inside the magazine?" Lu Yanhe said, "In this case, it will not affect the binding of the magazine itself. Our magazines will have a plastic cover anyway, right? There is no need to worry about advertising. Pages will fall out."
Chen Siqi's eyes lit up instantly.
"This is fine."
Lu Yanhe said: "In the future, some brands should also place advertisements. As you said, if we don't accept these advertisements, we will lose a piece of income in vain. With this income, we can not only increase the authors' royalties, but also It can be used for more planning and better content for everyone.”
Chen Siqi said: "My original idea was to let self-media take over the business and let the magazine itself maintain the purity of the content. However, although the development of self-media is good now, there are many competitors. We have missed the development of self-media. To stand out at this time, it takes time and some opportunities. The magazine is favored by many people because it is the only one. The three-issue promotion of "Idol Era" directly gave out 600,000 yuan. Advertising costs are simply not comparable to those of self-media.”
Lu Yanhe: "It's a good thing that magazines can make money. Just don't make too many of them and offend readers. Don't be like some magazines, where one-third of the content is advertising."
Chen Siqi nodded: "Well, in short, I have set a few principles. First of all, all the advertising pages on the back cover are used for our authors to promote and promote their new books. There are no new books to promote, even if they are empty, they will not be used for advertising. Advertising, secondly, I want to improve the manuscript layout of the magazine and leave as much space as possible to text content.”
"Of course that's good." Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Siqi: "I have signed cooperation agreements with several personal interview reporters. From now on, we will publish an in-depth interview article in every issue."
"Is the interview column finally going online?" Lu Yanhe said.
"Yes, it is too difficult to sign up good interview reporters. Everyone has their own fixed media partners." Chen Siqi said, "Although print media has declined, several large online media still need top interview reporters. of."
"Then how did you sign in this time?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Siqi: "High standards of manuscript fees and transportation fees. Of course, I think a very important reason why they finally agreed is that the past few issues of "Jump Up" have been on the market and the feedback has been very good. It has become the only commercial literary and art magazine. They also I saw the impact, so I agreed.”
Lu Yanhe: "You still have to work hard enough on yourself, so that people will be willing to cooperate with us."
Chen Siqi nodded, "Yes, many authors who were previously unwilling to provide us with manuscripts have also relaxed their attitude. Especially the sales of Liujiazhen's new novel are so high that many authors are tempted."
"Brother Jiazhen's new novel is really well written. Several of my artist friends are following the serialization. Sure enough, this kind of suspense novel is easier to break barriers. Readers of all ages like to read it." Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Siqi's eyes turned and he immediately said: "Then what do you think? Can we have a column for novels in the magazine, a suspense column, a fairy column, an emotional column, a city column, and an innovation column to publish novels of corresponding themes."
Lu Yanhe said in surprise: "You mean, open five serials at the same time?"
"Let's talk about opening several at the same time, but this can also build our brand column. Think about it, if the novels serialized in our magazine can become bestsellers after publication, then why worry about no authors willing to serialize in our magazine." Chen Siqi's eyes lit up as he spoke, even in the dark carriage. She was like a light bulb, and her excitement was obvious. "Let's convey to everyone the acceptance standards of our "Jump Up", so that everyone will have the impression that the novels serialized in our magazine are good works."
Lu Yanhe understood Chen Siqi's intention, nodded, and said, "If we can do this, it would be great."
Chen Siqi: "Now we have received a lot of good manuscripts, and the schedule has already reached this year's July issue. I am thinking about whether to make this year's July issue a summer special issue with richer content. This special issue can be made into 300 or even 400 pages. At the same time, a new serialized novel can be launched in this special issue."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Generally, one issue of a book is about 150 pages. If it is 300 or even 400 pages, it is the volume of two issues at ordinary times.
This way, more manuscripts can be published without letting those authors wait.
After all, the manuscript fee will be paid after the manuscript is officially accepted.
-
April is a month of undercurrents.
"Jump Up" is promoting various new plans, manuscript solicitations, manuscript review, and manuscript revisions in the brainstorming of Chen Siqi and the editorial department.
While Lu Yanhe is conscientiously completing his various course assignments, he occasionally goes out to shoot advertisements and magazines. He is almost no longer on the hot search and disappears from the boiling online world.
But many things are still very busy. For example, "City Travel Notes" came to him again. Xin Zixing was very enthusiastic and wanted to invite Lu Yanhe back to record the next episode. Lu Yanhe did not refuse anything because he had time, so he nodded, which made Xin Zixing breathe a sigh of relief.
Jia Long is also promoting the script of "Lost on Journey". He is looking for investment and directors. Lu Yanhe met with Jia Long twice, both of which were to communicate how to make this movie.
On the "Miss Ning" side, He Han is still looking for his heroine, and Lu Yanhe still invited teacher He Shuyi to take him to practice lines and study characters.
On the "Late Spring" side, Liu Bige and Miao Yue have already written the first draft of the script and asked Lu Yanhe to read it first. After Lu Yanhe finished reading it, he put forward some of his own opinions, mainly focusing on the character he was going to play. Liu Bige and Miao Yue took his opinions to make a second round of revisions.
Li Zhenzhen contacted Lu Yanhe to discuss the recording of the second season of "Young Days".
Lu Yanhe communicated with Chen Ziyan and gave the feedback that "if it is the original cast, continue recording, if it is not the original cast, forget it".
He didn't want to go through another Mengli incident.
These are all related to Lu Yanhe's work, and the most eye-catching work that is not related to Lu Yanhe is actually "Idol Era".
Lu Yanhe didn't know what others were doing, but Chen Ziyan spent a lot of time and energy on finding people for the idol artist award, which was temporarily named the Tianxing Award.
To give out an award, it is necessary to set up an award committee to be responsible for many matters. In addition to the few people who took the lead in this matter, this award committee also brought in several big names in the industry who could smooth the relationship between the upper and lower levels and promote this award in all aspects.
Because Lu Yanhe has left the idol track, this award has little impact on Lu Yanhe, but it has a great impact on Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.
Zhou Pingan heard this rumor early.
With his personality, how could he be willing to see such a big piece of fat meat coming out of the pot when it has nothing to do with him?
Zhou Pingan immediately found Vice President Ma.
Xingyu is one of the largest idol artist management companies in China, with hundreds of idol artists.
If they want to make "Idol Era" and the Tianxing Award, they can't avoid Xingyu.
If Xingyu doesn't cooperate, then this program and award will be inferior no matter how it is done.
As a result, Zhou Pingan rushed to the door of Vice President Ma's office, but was stopped by his secretary, saying that Chen Ziyan was talking to Vice President Ma inside.
Zhou Pingan widened his eyes.
-
"We at Xingyu have been investing a lot of resources in the cultivation of idol artists. In fact, we are optimistic about this future market. Now, there are so many people who want to make such a program, provide idol artists with a fixed stage, and also establish such an award to improve the status and attention of idol artists. If Xingyu participates, there will be many benefits. Mr. Ma, you have been doing this for so many years, you must have seen it, so I don't need to elaborate."
Chen Ziyan sat in front of Vice President Ma and said, "This will be a hot spot. It's not that this award will bring about a hot spot, but the hot spot of idol artists has already appeared. It depends on who can take the lead in standing at this hot spot and become the first person to try it out. President Ma, you must be the first person to try it out, right?"
She looked at Vice President Ma and smiled.
...
How to persuade someone?
Different people have different ways.
Some people look for others' weaknesses, some look for others' interests, but Chen Ziyan's approach often starts from the general trend and environment, finds the win-win point for both parties, and persuades them with reason.
Lu Yanhe was also greatly influenced by Chen Ziyan in this regard.
Lu Yanhe originally thought that Chen Ziyan was busy with this matter during this period, and would put less energy on his side.
So, he didn't look for Chen Ziyan much.
What he didn't expect was that even though Chen Ziyan was so busy, she was still helping him connect with some acting jobs. At the end of April, she suddenly called him and said that she had accepted a movie for him, a cameo role, just one scene.
Director Wang Zhong's film "Three Mountains".
Wang Zhong is a well-known director of art films. Every one of his films in the past has been a frequent guest at film festivals and film awards.
Lu Yanhe received a call from Chen Ziyan and went directly to the set without asking anything.
Lu Yanhe found out when he arrived that although it was just one scene, it was quite difficult to act. He had to play a mysterious fortune teller.
Lu Yanhe looked at Wang Zhong at a loss and asked, "Fortune teller?"
Isn't it said that fortune tellers are generally middle-aged or elderly? Why did you ask him to play this role?
Wang Zhong said, "We need a very young fortune teller in this play, to create a sense of contrast."
"Three Mountains" tells the story of three young people who went treasure hunting and encountered some inexplicable things on the way. In short, it is the embodiment of some concepts such as greed, anger, ignorance, and delusion. The fortune teller played by Lu Yanhe was the one that the three young people suddenly encountered when they ran into a mountain temple on a rainy night.
This is a costume play. Lu Yanhe did not see the complete script, but only got the clips given to him by Wang Zhong.
"You should understand this fortune teller as a person who is absurd and mentally abnormal. In the years of famine, there is no way to make a living, so he follows in his father's footsteps and becomes a fortune teller." Wang Zhong said, "Don't act too realistically. I don't want that. The style of the whole movie is similar to the concept of magic. This fortune teller tells the fortunes of three young people and predicts that they will have a bumpy road and full of bloody disasters in the future. This scares the three young people. This is the function he undertakes."
The script Lu Yanhe got on the spot.
In this section, the fortune teller is indeed absurd. He said he would charge money, and then said that he would tell the fortunes for the three young people for free because they met by chance. During the fortune telling, his face became more and more shocked, because the hexagrams of the three young people were more bloody than one another.
The hexagrams also scared him, the fortune teller, and he felt that he had encountered some extremely evil people. He rushed out of the temple with a strange cry and disappeared in the heavy rain.
Judging from the script, he is a very stereotyped character.
Lu Yanhe didn't know whether Wang Zhong asked him to play this cameo role or Chen Ziyan knew that he was looking for someone and introduced Lu Yanhe to him.
However, with Lu Yanhe's current fame, he came to help others no matter what.
Wang Zhong was also very polite to Lu Yanhe.
This director has been a director for more than ten years, and his output is not high. He has made five movies in the past, and this is the sixth.
Each movie is an art film, and the highest box office is only 12 million. This "Three Mountains" is not a commercial film, but still a story full of speculation and fables.
Lu Yanhe met three young actors, Chen Jiang, Sui Fangran, and Wang Lu.
These three young actors are a few years older than him, but they are also very young. After chatting, I found out that they have just graduated for one or two years.
They are also working with Wang Zhong for the first time.
For newcomers without fame, being able to star in Wang Zhong's movie is of course a rare opportunity for them. Even if the box office is not high, he is a well-known art film director.
The three of them were very enthusiastic about Lu Yanhe, but some of them didn't know how to talk to him, and seemed a little reserved.
At this moment, Lu Yanhe instantly understood what Teacher Shi Xia said, "I am most afraid that others will feel reserved because of me."
Lu Yanhe didn't have the experience to integrate with everyone immediately. They sat together and chatted for a while. Suddenly, Wang Zhong came to find Lu Yanhe again, and they left first.
Wang Zhong said, "I have seen a scene you shot in "Phoenix Terrace". It was the scene where your true identity was exposed and you roared and vented your anger at Langxia with resentment. I think it was quite like what I imagined. That scene was full of hatred and hysteria. Here, I want a feeling of not being able to see the illusion of this world clearly, and still wanting to figure out the truth from others. The crazier and more unrealistic you are, the more this scene is like a dream of three young people. I especially hope that this scene is like a nightmare of one person. After a scene ends, everyone wakes up and still feels scared."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said yes.
He said again: "But, director, when will I shoot? I need some time to sort it out. My mind is in a mess now, and I haven't made any preparations."
Wang Zhong asked: "How long will it take you?"
Lu Yanhe said: "Give me at least half a day."
"Okay." Wang Zhong said, "I'll find someone to take you to do the styling first. After it's done, we'll talk."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Wang Zhong left again.
Lu Yanhe was taken to the dressing room to do the styling.
The styling of a fortune teller.
The styling was done very quickly. He was wearing a tattered long gown and the cloth shoes on his feet were also gray. They were specially made to be old.
After Lu Yanhe changed, he looked in the mirror. To be honest, it was a very dirty styling.
There were two handfuls of dust on his face and his hair was deliberately messed up.
It's not that Lu Yanhe couldn't accept his bad image, but he always felt that it was not right.
A young fortune teller, even if he stayed in a temple in the mountains late at night, didn't have to be so dirty and look like a beggar, right?
Lu Yanhe said to the person who did his styling: "Can this styling be changed?"
The stylist shook his head and said: "This has been decided in advance."
Lu Yanhe looked at himself in the mirror again and still felt something was wrong.
He asked Zou Dong to take a photo of himself and went to find Wang Zhong.
"Director, I am not very satisfied with this styling." He said bluntly.
Wang Zhong was stunned and pursed his lips, "I know this styling is a bit ugly, actually, I-"
"I don't think it's ugly or dirty, it doesn't matter." Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "I just feel that it doesn't convince me enough."
"Not convinced enough?" Wang Zhong looked at him puzzledly.
Lu Yanhe said: "My look is designed to be tacky, not different at all. You can see similar looks in many movies and TV shows."
Wang Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "It is indeed tacky. What do you think?"
Lu Yanhe said: "First of all, the hair. To be honest, this is a young fortune teller. No matter how weird a fortune teller is, he will never make himself look like a beggar. I know you want to show that in the era of famine and war, I, a fortune teller, am also living a precarious life, so everyone Everything is terrible, can we express it in another way? For example, I combed my hair into a normal bun, instead of making it so messy as if I had been fleeing for seven or eight years, but the bun was bumpy for several days, and it looked like it was about to fall apart. For example, there are two smears of dust on my face. It doesn’t matter if you rub something on my face, but people will subconsciously rub it with clothes when something is rubbed on their faces. I rubbed it a little thinner, so it’s not so obvious. Even beggars will clean their faces. "Wang Zhong pondered and looked at Lu Yanhe in silence. "You said before that this scene should be filmed like a nightmare of a person. If I have been portrayed as a beggar-like fortune teller in terms of appearance, how can I convince those three people with the hexagrams I have calculated?" Lu Yanhe said, "I am a fortune teller who was forced by the famine to hide in this temple in the mountains at night. I am a little embarrassed, but I am not living in poverty. When I met the three of them, I said in a mysterious way that they had blood disasters, asked them for money, and told them fortunes and solutions. This is the logic. Otherwise, how can I, a person who has been in such a miserable situation, say that we just met by chance and I will tell them even if they don't pay me?" Wang Zhong looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise and didn't speak for a long time. What Lu Yanhe said really surprised Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong has been a director and has filmed five dramas and worked with many actors. Moreover, many of the actors he has worked with thought about the drama by themselves and then told him. Among them, there are many actors who like to think about it and make Wang Zhong headache. What surprised Wang Zhong about Lu Yanhe was that in just two hours, Lu Yanhe had a basic understanding of this character with the current fragmentary script and established his own basic line for the character.
Chen Lingling told Wang Zhong that Lu Yanhe was a young man with a high acting talent. As long as you break down the play and explain it to him clearly, he can understand and absorb it in the shortest time and express it.
Therefore, Wang Zhong invited Lu Yanhe when he thought of this scene temporarily.
To be precise, he first thought of the three people meeting a fortune teller in the temple and being frightened by the fortune teller's hexagrams, and made a connection between the previous and the next plots, and then he thought of Lu Yanhe temporarily, and wrote this script according to Lu Yanhe's age.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe's appearance in the film was designed temporarily, which is indeed rough.
Wang Zhong understood Lu Yanhe's idea and agreed with him, saying, "Just do what you said."
Lu Yanhe said, "There's another thing, Director, this dress is too clean."
"Clean?" Wang Zhong was stunned, his eyes fell on Lu Yanhe, the coat he was wearing was already dusty, how could it be clean?
"It's all dusty, no signs of wear and no stains." Lu Yanhe said, "If you think it's okay, I'll take care of it myself."
Wang Zhong looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise and nodded.
-
"I heard that Wang Zhong asked Lu Yanhe to play a cameo role in his movie."
The crew of "Phoenix Tower" was still filming, Huang Cheng said to Chen Lingling.
Hearing this, Chen Lingling nodded, "Is Lu Yanhe willing to make a cameo appearance?"
"Chen Ziyan agreed immediately." Huang Cheng smiled, "Lu Yanhe has to attend classes during the school term, so he won't take on the lead role during the school term. At most, he'll take on a few supporting roles or even a cameo. If this news spreads, I guess Lu Yanhe will have too many acting appointments."
An actor who can obviously choose the lead role in the market is now willing to play a supporting role or a cameo. Which crew wouldn't want to snatch such an actor away?
Chen Lingling said: "It would be good for him to act in more dramas. He has talent, but his technique is very poor. More acting experience can help him find his own acting method quickly."
Huang Cheng asked curiously: "You have high expectations for Lu Yanhe?"
"Among the young actors in our play, he is the most promising one." Chen Lingling said bluntly, "Other people's acting is just good enough. He has a completely different style from the academic school. In the past ten years of film and television, you can't find another guard with such a firm but deep eyes as his. He is a guard, but not just a guard. This complex layering is extremely rare."
Huang Cheng nodded and said: "Many actors who have become famous can't get rid of the constraints of acting themselves no matter what they play, and for many actors, every role is a role and themselves."
"Yeah." Chen Lingling nodded.
She rubbed her temples and said: "Lu Yanhe can't act in the play that is being prepared later?"
"Are you talking about "Blood Jade"? "Huang Cheng asked.
Chen Lingling nodded.
"I guess he can't act in that role. Blood Jade has more than 50 episodes, and Lu Yanhe doesn't have the time to act."
"What a pity. His image, acting skills and character feel are very suitable." Chen Lingling also felt a little regretful.
At her level, there are very few times when she has to work with a certain actor.
Huang Cheng was surprised.
"Does Lu Yanhe make you think so highly of him? Even for a drama like Blood Jade, you plan to let him act without an audition."
"What's the point of auditioning for an actor you have worked with before? We are already very familiar with each other." Chen Lingling said.
-
Lu Yanhe didn't know that he missed a drama directed by Chen Lingling because of the shooting time.
He was sitting on a bus, following the crew up the mountain.
For the scene in the temple, the crew had to shoot it on location, and specially found a temple in the mountain just to shoot this scene tonight.
Lu Yanhe sat in the middle, while Chen Jiang, Sui Fangran and Wang Lu sat in the last row.
The car twisted and turned on the winding mountain road. After about half an hour, Lu Yanhe felt nauseous, dizzy, and wanted to vomit.
He was carsick.
When he arrived at the destination, Lu Yanhe got off the car, his face was pale, his stomach was churning, and he tried hard for most of the day to hold back from vomiting.
It was already evening.
It didn't look like it would rain tonight.
The crew prepared a rain truck.
This place was quite desolate, and it was really a deserted temple.
The temple was not big, and the art team hurried in to set up the scene.
This was a flat land halfway up the mountain, and there were cliffs a few steps ahead.
Lu Yanhe walked to the edge and looked down into the distance. He could see a mountain village in the distance.
In the evening, the sun set and the wind blew particularly hard.
After standing for a long time, he suddenly sneezed.
He quickly turned around and went into the temple.
-
Wang Zhong was looking at the camera crew about how to set up the camera.
Lu Yanhe did not go over, but turned around here by himself.
This temple is not very big, about the size of two pavilions. There is a porcelain statue about half a meter high. It is hard to tell what god or Buddha it is. The incense has been off for a long time. There is a layer of dust on the incense burner in front.
Perhaps it is really in this real scene, Lu Yanhe really has a feeling of being miserable.
He did not chat with anyone, and started to find his state alone.
There is not much description of this fortune teller in the script, and Wang Zhong did not say anything.
Lu Yanhe began to construct his character biography by himself.
This is what He Shuyi taught him.
"To play a character, there is a biography, and everything has its origin. No matter how messy it is, it will not mess up the logic of the character."
Lu Yanhe came to a corner of the temple, facing the wall and closed his eyes.

Chen Jiang, Sui Fangran and Wang Lu were together. Seeing Lu Yanhe's "face-to-wall" look, they all looked puzzled and didn't know what he was doing.
Although Lu Yanhe is younger than them, he is much more famous than them.
So, the three of them were nervous in front of Lu Yanhe.
He is a popular star who has just been nominated for the Red River Award. He is not an actor of the same level as them.
Even though the three of them are the main actors, and Lu Yanhe is just a guest actor.
"What is he doing?" Sui Fangran asked in a low voice.
Chen Jiang and Wang Lu both shook their heads.
Sui Fangran said: "I don't know how he will act."
Chen Jiang said: "His acting skills are very good. Have you seen "The Golden Age"? "
"I have seen it, but I can't imagine how he can play this Taoist priest." Wang Lu said.
Sui Fangran: "I don't know how to act. The director just gave me a page of paper, and I don't have many words."
Wang Lu smiled bitterly and said: "This is the style of the director. I guess I have to stay up late tonight."
Chen Jiang sighed: "I'm used to it."
Sui Fangran thought, Lu Yanhe is alone there, why not say hello to him and have a chat.
She walked over and came to Lu Yanhe's side. When she saw Lu Yanhe's side, she was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of her.
Lu Yanhe actually closed his eyes tightly, clenched his jaw, and tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Sui Fangran couldn't help asking, looking at him worriedly.
Lu Yanhe seemed to be startled. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Sui Fangran blankly.
Sui Fangran: "Are you uncomfortable?"
Lu Yanhe was carsick just now, everyone saw it.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Sui Fangran pointed at the tears on Lu Yanhe's face, "You, what's this?"
Lu Yanhe was stunned, touched his face, and then he knew why Sui Fangran looked at him so strangely.
"Oh, I was just thinking about why the person I play is a fortune teller, and why he is so weird and mentally ill. I couldn't help crying because of all the thoughts I had. " he said.
Sui Fangran looked even more confused.
Lu Yanhe didn't tell her in detail, shook his head and said, "I'll make some preparations."
Sui Fangran finally understood that Lu Yanhe was getting into the mood for filming.
She nodded, and went back to Chen Jiang and Wang Lu with a shocked face, and told them what had just happened.
"It's terrible." Sui Fangran was completely shocked and at a loss, "He was facing the wall alone, closing his eyes, crying silently, I was stunned."
The other two people who heard Sui Fangran's description were also confused.
Confused.
At this time, Wang Zhong also saw Lu Yanhe's appearance.
Lu Yanhe didn't cry anymore, he just stayed alone, dazed, his eyes blank.
This state was a bit "disoriented" and "frustrated".
This certainly wouldn't be Lu Yanhe's own state. Wang Zhong has been working in the field of art films for more than ten years and has seen a lot. He knows that this is the actor getting into the role and finding the state. Despite his knowledge, he was still a little surprised when he saw Lu Yanhe's scene.
Wang Zhong has persisted in the field of art films for so many years, not because he has no chance to direct commercial films, nor because of anything else, but because he is a very self-centered director who loves his own way of expression.
In fact, his works are not the kind of boring art films. Strictly speaking, they are very authorial.
Just like he suddenly wrote another scene while filming, and then found actors and places to film temporarily.
How can a general crew be so willful?
But Wang Zhong just wanted to shoot this scene, and he had to shoot it.
He didn't know how Lu Yanhe designed this scene for him.
He didn't want to communicate with the actors in advance. For him, he often put the camera on and turned it on when filming, and let the actors continue to perform like this. He especially liked the actors to improvise on the spot.
In fact, Wang Zhong just wrote a rough outline of this scene.
He only knew very clearly what kind of feeling this scene should have, but he didn't have a detailed idea of what it should look like.
He simply wrote a script fragment and gave it to the actors.
The focus of this scene was actually on Lu Yanhe.
The rhythm of the normal scene was led by Lu Yanhe's character.
Wang Zhong called several actors over.
Lu Yanhe came over as if he had just woken up from a dream, but his condition was still weak.
Wang Zhong: "I don't have any instructions on how to act in this scene later. I'm not the kind of director who has very specific requirements for how you talk and walk. Chen Jiang, you know my habits. Yanhe, this is your first time filming with me. After the camera starts, you can act according to your own ideas. Anyway, we will only film this scene tonight. You can try whatever you want. We will do a few takes. You can also tell me directly if you have any ideas, but there is only one thing, I must shoot the feeling I want, the nightmare feeling between reality and nothingness."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Jiang and the other three also nodded.
Lu Yanhe said, "Director, I made some additions to my role. Do you need to listen?"
"No, just make sure of it yourself, but I don't want anything extra." Wang Zhong said, "The focus of this scene is that you tell fortunes and scare them. It's that simple."
Lu Yanhe nodded to show that he understood.
When night fell, candles were lit one by one, and the night was shrouded all around. The wind was like a complaint, and the atmosphere was instantly heated.
All the working groups were evacuated, and only Lu Yanhe was left in the temple.
The camera was to start from outside when three young people came in.
Lu Yanhe sat alone in the temple, with a fire in front of him. The firelight shone on his face. It was obviously a very young face, but his eyes were dull and his face was numb, as if he was withered and silent, as if even the firelight could not awaken any light in his eyes.
Everyone stood outside the temple and saw such a scene from a distance. They didn't say anything to each other, but they all felt horrified in their hearts.
"It's so cold." Sui Fangran stood between the two of them, looking at Lu Yanhe in the temple, shivering, and whispered.
"It looks scary." Wang Lu said.
Even Wang Zhong, who was sitting behind the monitor, was shocked by the scene captured by the camera.
