Chapter 319: Showing Kindness and Sincerity
No one is perfect.
When people know each other for a long time, conflicts are inevitable, especially when both sides are confident and unwilling to give in.
But in fact, how many conflicts are irreconcilable?
When Lu Yanhe and Wang Zhong sat at the same table, no one mentioned the grudge that had never been made public.
In any case, Lu Yanhe is a junior, and a junior who has benefited from Wang Zhong's film.
At the dinner table, he put on a "junior" attitude.
Lu Yanhe took the initiative to toast Director Wang Zhong a glass of wine.
Wang Zhong agreed.
Lu Yanhe said: "The director looks very busy recently."
Wang Zhong nodded and said: "For me, the promotion period of the movie is the most difficult."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
Some things seem to be turned over just like that.
"Every failure makes you wiser. When you choose your partners for the future, you must be very careful." Wang Zhong said.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He knew that Wang Zhong was talking about Sanhe.
Wang Zhong suddenly remembered the play that Lu Yanhe was filming now.
"How is your filming of "Late Spring" going? I heard that a young man who returned from France is the director."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded and laughed, "He is a very picky person, but it feels very different to work with him."
Wang Zhong asked: "When will you finish filming this movie? If I have time, I will go to see it."
"It will probably be filmed until the end of April or the beginning of May."
"That's fine. After "Three Mountains" is released and the promotion schedule is completed, I will go to visit the set." Wang Zhong said to Lu Yanhe.
This is Wang Zhong's gesture of goodwill to Lu Yanhe, otherwise, he would not have needed to visit the set.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said yes.
Wang Zhong asked again: "I heard that you are writing a movie script yourself. Although I have written few scripts, I have read a lot. If you need my help, you can tell me."
Is this another gesture of goodwill?
Lu Yanhe realized that although Wang Zhong was already a big director of a certain age, he was different from this kind of people.
Once Director Wang Zhong realized that he had treated others unfairly, he would find a way to make up for it.
Lu Yanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry in his heart, but he still nodded.
"I did write a few scripts. I'll send them to you later. Please help me with your review."
Wang nodded.
Seeing that the two of them were getting along, Chen Ling and Chen Ziyan both breathed a sigh of relief.
From Chen Ling's perspective, he certainly hoped that Wang Zhong could maintain a good relationship with a popular new star like Lu Yanhe.
From Chen Ziyan's perspective, she certainly hoped that Lu Yanhe could continue to work with Wang Zhong. As a newly-crowned best director at the West Tuer Film Festival, his future works would definitely be frequent guests at top film festivals. Lu Yanhe wanted to be an actor. It's not that he couldn't avoid Wang Zhong, but why should he go his separate ways because of such a small matter when he could walk with this person? -
The scene of Wang Zhong and Lu Yanhe having dinner was photographed by the paparazzi who followed them.
The paparazzi was quite disappointed because they didn't take pictures of more interesting scenes.
However, every bit counts.
So, the paparazzi still sold the photos.
The news of Lu Yanhe and Wang Zhong having dinner was posted online. Everyone is quite interested in the new dynamics of Lu Yanhe, who has not been heard from for a long time.
"Director Wang Zhong's previous angry response to netizens did not seem to affect his mood."
"How could what netizens said affect his mood? He has won the Best Director Award at the West Tuer Film Festival, so why would he care about us?"
"Didn't Wang Zhong seem to be sarcastic about everyone's expectations for Lu Yanhe? Why did he suddenly have dinner with Lu Yanhe again?"
"That's right, anyway, our little Lu can't carry the box office."
...
Lu Yanhe did not expect that so many people on the Internet would have opinions about Director Wang Zhong.
It seems that Director Wang Zhong's previous angry response to netizens really left a very bad impression on everyone.
From an outsider's perspective, Lu Yanhe also felt that netizens were not unreasonable to be angry.
This incident also reminded Lu Yanhe that he must not think that he is making a work that many people cannot understand.
It does not mean that the work must be made popular and popular, but that this psychological sense of superiority should not be established.
Director Wang Zhong made many people feel this sense of superiority with "discrimination", which aroused public anger.
In fact, based on Lu Yanhe's understanding of Director Wang Zhong, he didn't mean that.
He just expressed that.
It has to be said that Director Wang Zhong was furious at Sanhe's publicity method, and then he saw some comments on the Internet, and the fire was ignited.
-
The reputation of "Sanshan" before its release was in a precarious situation.
When Chen Jiang and others were interviewed by media reporters, they were also asked about their views on Director Wang Zhong's angry response to netizens.
They had no experience in accepting interviews, and they didn't know what to say. They hesitated and dodged, which gave people a guilty feeling.
Everyone's impression was more negative.
This situation was completely beyond Sanhe's expectations.
A good movie that should have a good reputation, but before it was released, its reputation tended to collapse.
However, because of the unpleasantness with Wang Zhong in the early stage, no matter what Sanhe said or did, Wang Zhong could not compromise any more.
Wang Zhong only cooperated with the previously scheduled publicity schedule and introduced the production process of the film to everyone, as well as related content.
Wang Zhong made it clear that he was unwilling to cooperate, and Sanhe couldn't do anything to him.
There is no other way, Sanhe can only use Lu Yanhe to change the reputation of "Three Mountains".
They increased their efforts to promote Lu Yanhe's superb acting skills in "Three Mountains".
That stance is a bit like Beijing and Taiwan's original promotion of "Six People" - a promotional video that was removed from the shelves after being aired four times because it aroused public ridicule.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan discussed it and decided that Chen Ziyan would speak out through her own account: "After destroying Director Wang's mentality, he came to praise Yan He on the altar again, haha."
Chen Ziyan is Lu Yanhe's manager, and many people know her social account.
Her statement immediately aroused doubts and speculation among many people.
What's happening here?
Someone asked Chen Ziyan in the comment area what she meant.
Chen Ziyan replied: "Yan He only appeared in "Three Mountains" for a total of ten minutes. It was a guest appearance. His acting skills were indeed praised by many people, but it was not to the point where it is now. The director was a little angry at the time and started arguing with netizens. Come on, it’s because the promoter he is currently working with is willing to say anything for the sake of early popularity and box office, which makes him very angry. Now the promoter sees that the director is disgusted by everyone, and wants to save the audience of the movie through Yan He Yuan, I raised strong objections to them, but they insisted on going their own way, so I can only make it clear first to prevent everyone from being deceived. Yan He is not the star of this movie!"
Chen Ziyan almost accused the promoters of "Three Mountains" by name.
In today's Internet age, you can find out almost any information online, let alone the promoter of a movie.
There is a lot of information in these words.
But after attracting everyone's attention, Chen Ziyan stopped making any response.
At this point, it is inconvenient for Chen Ziyan to continue talking.
When you are a person and do things, you should not only look at the present, but also look at the future.
Chen Ziyan did not want to leave the impression that she was "aggressive" and "unwilling to stop" to other partners.
Just let everyone know that both Lu Yanhe and Director Wang were deceived by this publicity company called Sanhe.
-
Chen Ling has been holding his breath during this period.
If it weren't for the fact that Sanhe itself was also the largest investor in "Three Mountains", he would have long ago wanted to open them and change to a publicity company.
They relied on themselves as the largest investor and promoter, so they didn't particularly respect Wang Zhong overtly or covertly.
Chen Ling has cooperated with Wang Zhong for so many years and has dealt with many film companies. This is the first company to reach the point of Sanhe and completely disrespect Wang Zhong's ideas.
Chen Ziyan suddenly fired, and instantly explained something that Director Wang Zhong had said before, which made Chen Ling feel so happy that he let out a bad breath.
Chen Ling said to Wang Zhong: "Chen Ziyan still has the same temper as before. It really made her anxious, so she won't play the trick of swallowing her anger with you."
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Zi Yan has always been like this. She speaks the truth and is very straightforward. When we approached her and asked Lu Yanhe if she could make a guest appearance, she immediately agreed without asking anything. By the way, you remember Take some of my share and send it to them. They have helped me so much, but Sanhe and others are not willing to give bonuses. We cannot treat others poorly. "
"Well, don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter. Now wait a moment, don't rush, wait until the movie is released." Chen Ling said, "Look at the box office performance. If the box office is good, you can get more than 50 million. When the time comes, add a little more and give it all together.”
Wang Zhong: "They are not short of this little money. The key is our attitude. Don't make people feel disappointed."
"I understand, but he just spoke for us online. If we send him money now, it won't look like we have colluded with him." Chen Ling patted Wang Zhong on the shoulder, "Leave these matters to me. We have been working together for such a long time, trust me, if I can handle it for you, you can take care of the shooting, and I will take care of the other peripheral matters for you.”
The king nodded and smiled.
"Thank you for always being by my side and helping me."
"Then what can you do to make me like the movie you made?" Chen Ling said with a smile, "Do you have any ideas about what you are planning to film next?"
"After "Three Mountains" is released and the promotion is over, I will go home and have a good rest before thinking about it again."
"Yeah." Chen Ling nodded.
Wang Zhong said again: "Chen Jiang's children are probably uncomfortable being caught between us and Sanhe. Please pay more attention to them in the future."
"Don't worry, we have to take care of the people in our drama." Chen Ling said, "The three of them all know what's going on, but they are not as confident as Lu Yanhe to break up with Sanhe. clear."
-
At the filming scene of "Late Spring", Lu Yanhe, Kong Fan, Yan Lingyu and others were sitting on the edge of the playground, sitting on the ground.
Liu Bige was talking to other people about other things, and they were waiting here for the show.
He Qingqing was curious about what was causing a stir on the Internet.
Lu Yanhe explained briefly: "Actually, "Three Mountains" encountered a not-so-authentic publicity company. The publicity methods they used made my agent very angry. Of course, I was also very angry."
He Qingqing looked in disbelief and said, "Director Wang Zhong won the Best Director at the West Turf Film Festival, and it's you again. Can they all do the same?"
"I used to be like you, thinking that when I reach the position of Director Wang Zhong, I shouldn't encounter this kind of thing again, but after experiencing more and more crews, I found that this is not the case." Lu Yanhe said, "How can Sanhe be so cruel?" I take Director Wang Zhong’s idea to heart because they are also the largest investor in this film. He won the Best Director at the Situer Film Festival, which has both status and honors. But for a company like Sanhe, But it doesn’t make much sense. They are clearly here to make money. If director Wang Zhong’s last movie had a box office of over 1 billion, Sanhe might not have this attitude.”
He Qingqing had a look of unwillingness on her face when she heard this.
"Then that's too much," she said.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
Yan Lingyu asked: "But, how could they push you out without consulting you?"
"In the final analysis, I just don't care." Lu Yanhe said, "I am a popular star, but I am not popular enough for them to ignore me. If I am willing to cooperate with them, they will treat me better. If I am not happy, they will not care about me. , treat me as a tool and use it to the greatest extent.”
"Even you will encounter something like this, so we won't encounter more in the future?" He Qingqing looked pessimistic.
Lu Yanhe laughed and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. Under normal circumstances, everyone will still follow the rules of this industry and do things according to normal rules. Otherwise, things would have gone wrong. But sometimes you will inevitably encounter in this situation."
Kong Fan immediately said: "I see you have encountered it many times, once in "Six People" and again in "Three Mountains".
Lu Yanhe: ""The Journey of Six" was purely due to my bad luck. Of course, in fact, I didn't suffer any loss, but it gave me a lot of knowledge. So this time when I encountered Sanhe, I was quite calm and didn't feel anything. What a big deal. Apart from these two dramas, I am actually very lucky. The first drama is "Golden Age" and the second drama is "Phoenix Stage". They are both good directors and good cast members. Basically I’ve never encountered such a disgusting thing.”
Kong Fan was a little envious and said, "I also want to act in their play."
He Qingqing laughed twice and said, "Who doesn't want to act?"
Lu Yanhe joked: "Don't worry, maybe you will become famous as soon as the movie "Late Spring" is released."
Wang Jing, who had been silent all this time, whispered at this time: "But didn't the director say that the box office of this movie will not be very high?"
Lu Yanhe said: "The low box office does not mean that this movie will not be successful. The box office of "Three Mountains" will certainly not be high, but you see this movie has already made Chen Jiang, Sui Fangran and Wang Lu their masterpieces. Many people in the entertainment industry know them. The same goes for "Late Spring". Based on my experience on the set, I don't think this movie will be able to get good feedback when the time comes. Success or failure, in fact, movies like "Three Mountains" and "Late Spring" were not aimed at the box office from the beginning. "Three Mountains" has already made profits through the sales of copyrights at the Situer Film Festival. Domestic The theater box office is only a small part.”
Several other people looked surprised when they heard what Lu Yanhe said.
At this time, Liu Bige came over and said, "The next scene is about to be filmed. You guys go run around twice and sweat a little."
Lu Yanhe and others nodded, followed Liu Bige's instructions, and started running around the playground.
This scene is not a physical education class... They are a group of students who come for tutoring, and they are not tutoring in physical education.
It was purely because they provoked the teacher and were punished, so this scene happened.
Kong Fan ran at the front, followed by Lu Yanhe.
After not running for a long time, Lu Yanhe was out of breath after a while and couldn't run anymore. (End of chapter)
