Chapter 443 We Won the Award!
On Weibo, Lu Yanhe interacted normally with Yan Liang and Li Zhibai, and did not seem to be affected by the rumor of "facial nerve disorder".
His attitude made more and more people believe that this was a rumor.
On the day when "Lost on Journey" was screened at the Jose-Laos Film Festival, Lu Yanhe happened to have a class and could not pay attention to the situation there.
After class, he took out his silent mobile phone and found that there were many unread messages on his mobile phone.
The media evaluation of "Lost on Journey" came out first.
It can be said that it was mixed with praise and criticism, and polarized.
Many media said that this movie was very qualified as a comedy. Not only were many lines very exquisite, but they were also very funny, almost laughing from beginning to end. At the same time, it was rare to see the good script in such a comedy. This was rare.
Another part of the media also said that they felt that how could someone who could write a movie script like "Rouge" write such a vulgar comedy? Moreover, it was a very vulgar comedy, relying on some unexpected events and exaggerated actions to create an unexpected joke.
Lu Yanhe thought that such evaluations were expected.
He never expected that this movie would receive unanimous praise from critics - few comedy movies have done so.
Compared with foreign media, domestic media gave much higher evaluations to "Lost on Journey".
The story that happened in the context of the Spring Festival travel rush is a background that only Chinese people can empathize with.
And the workers' debt collection is an act with special significance of the times.
Therefore, the exaggerated behavior in the eyes of foreigners is not aimless or deliberately exaggerated for Chinese people.
This year's Holland Film Festival, there are hundreds of films participating in the competition, just screening, or finding a place for the world premiere like "Flowers on the Stars". In any case, the movie must have a voice, otherwise, no one will pay attention to it, and it will be over, and it will really be a waste of time.
"Lost on Journey" successfully completed the screening at the Holland Film Festival.
The director, Jia Long and Wang Dashan were interviewed by the media at the film festival. There were many media on the scene, and obviously, they were all very interested in this movie.
How to verify the popularity of a movie at a film festival can actually be seen from this.
Jia Long is still very well-known in Asia.
"Did Lu Yanhe come to you to make this movie?" a media asked.
"Yes." Jia Long nodded, "When I heard that he had written a script, I was very surprised. Before that, I didn't know that Lu Yanhe could write scripts, nor did I know that his scripts were so good. In fact, we who make comedy movies all know that it is really difficult to come across a good script. Many times, the sense of proportion is particularly difficult to grasp. If it is too much, it is worse than not enough. If it is not to that extent, the laugh point cannot be pushed up. And if a comedy movie cannot make the audience laugh in the end, it is a failure. As soon as Yanhe's script came over, I knew that this was the kind of script I wanted to come across."
The media said: "But this time Yanhe went back after attending the premiere of "Rouge Button". Why didn't he stay and attend the premiere of "Lost on Journey" with everyone?"
Jia Long said: "He is still a college student. He has to rush back to class."
Jia Long's answer was really unexpected.
Many overseas media had many answers in mind, but they didn't expect this answer to be the one they said.
The domestic media... were a little accustomed to it. Anyway, Lu Yanhe's good student persona would always be supported by someone. This reason would be outrageous to other celebrities, even if they were still college students and in class. But when it happened to Lu Yanhe, it became very normal.
Of course, at the Jose-La-Ville Film Festival, Rouge was more popular than Lost on Journey. Several film companies were competing for the overseas distribution rights of Rouge, but the bids were not high, ranging from two to three million US dollars. Maxine and HP also bid, but what they wanted to buy was not the distribution rights, but the exclusive copyright. One price, buy out the overseas exclusive copyright and put it on the video website for screening - the price is high, if you are willing to sell it, you can make Rouge pay for itself with this income.
Wang Chonglai asked Lu Yanhe for his opinion, and Lu Yanhe said he had no opinion, everything was fine.
You can't expect Rouge to help you make a lot of money all at once. It can only take the route of steady flow, relying on the copyright fees accumulated every year.
After thinking about it, Wang Zhong decided to follow the path of his previous movies and negotiate with the long-term cooperation film companies in various places one by one, and sell them separately. Maybe each company doesn't offer much, such as 100,000 or 200,000 US dollars. The prices in the United States, Britain, South Korea, and Japan, which are the heavy box office, are slightly better. Accumulated, it is not a small amount, but it is troublesome and stressful.
The streaming media copyright was given to HP. It was not that Lu Yanhe wanted to cooperate with HP more, but HP offered a higher price, 500,000 US dollars higher than Maxine.
Zhong Benshuo was very depressed. If he had enough authority, he would never let this movie slip away from his hands because of the difference of 500,000 US dollars.
After watching this movie, he knew that he didn't know how this movie would perform in Europe and the United States, but it would definitely be liked by Asian audiences.
Zhong Benshuo even called Lu Yanhe specifically to express his depression and discomfort.
Lu Yanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I have returned to China, and I am not in charge of sales matters." He told Zhong Benzhuo.
Zhong Benshuo said: "It's so abominable. That guy Tom White must have arranged a spy in our Maxine. Otherwise, how could he know our quotation so well!"
Lu Yanhe smiled noncommittally.
He couldn't answer these words.
Zhong Benshuo: "Yan He, you know very well how much I want to cooperate with you and let your drama be broadcast on Maxine."
Lu Yanhe: "It's just "Rouge Button", there are many more dramas to follow."
Zhong Benshuo: "Alas, it's a pity that I'm a soft-spoken person and can't make my boss fully realize how valuable your play is."
Lu Yanhe: "Haha."
Anyway, no matter what Zhong Benzhuo said, Lu Yanhe would just respond like this and would not give any substantive content.
Lu Yanhe didn't know whether Zhong Benzhuo came to him to inquire about information. Regardless of whether he did, he did not intend to say anything informative to Zhong Benzhuo.
He took him to the second floor and to that room. This alone was enough to make Lu Yanhe stay away from him.
Zhong Benzhuo seemed to be aware of Lu Yanhe's alienation from him.
"Yan He, you're not still blaming that thing, are you?" Zhong Benzhuo asked with a hint of grievance in his tone.
In this industry, everyone is a performing artist.
Lu Yanhe: "What's the matter?"
He looked confused and confused, as if he had no idea what Zhong Benzhuo was talking about.
"Well, you are indeed still blaming me. Yes, I know. I didn't say hello to you in advance. It was indeed my lack of consideration."
"Mr. Zhong, you are serious. You have always treated me thoughtfully." Lu Yanhe said, "I have to go to class soon, so I have to hang up the phone."
Zhong Benshuo: "Oh, okay, then I'll go to Yuming next week and make an appointment with you again."
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
Lu Yanhe hung up the phone.
He carefully recalled the phone call he had just had with Zhong Benzhuo.
Well, confirmed, I didn’t say anything I shouldn’t have said.
Maybe he was overthinking, he always felt that Zhong Benzhuo was still trying to pull him into a less visible area.
Lu Yanhe also didn't like his practice of always talking about feelings at work.
It's not that you can't talk about feelings at work. There are many people talking about feelings at work - but they don't have any relationship foundation, so how can they talk about it? Talk about a castle-in-the-air relationship?
Your own money is not as high as HP's, and someone else won "Rouge Button". Why are you coming to me to complain? Do you blame me for not caring about my relationship with you? Even if the price is higher, I still want to give you this drama?
Lu Yanhe was speechless.
He took a deep breath.
At this time, Tom White sent an email: We have won the exclusive overseas copyright of "Rouge Button". At that time, we want to do some special screenings and promotional activities in several overseas places to prepare for the film's release in the country. Our HP is online for promotion, and we ask you to take some time to come out and participate in related activities.
Lu Yanhe replied: No problem.
Tom White immediately sent a new email: Our internal assessment of the movie "Journey" is that it is too Chinese and difficult for overseas audiences to understand. We do not plan to bid like we did for "Rouge". , if Maxine or other companies are more interested, we will give up.
Lu Yanhe replied: OK.
Tom White: But if no other company buys it, we still hope to get it. For the works written by you, I hope HP can have as many as possible.
Lu Yanhe laughed.
Tom White's words really made him feel comfortable.

Because Lu Yanhe was under too much pressure, Chen Ziyan had turned down almost all of his work since he came back.
Whether it is program recording or other business cooperation, basically push forward whatever you can, hoping that Lu Yanhe can rest peacefully at least in May.
However, as a result, several working parties who had agreed upon it before were a little confused. After finally knocking off Lu Yanhe, but now he can't discuss it with them. What happened... The most important thing is that Chen Ziyan's attitude is not very tough. He will pay for those who should pay, and promises to continue to cooperate in the future. His attitude is very It's so soft that you can't say anything.
In fact, Lu Yanhe felt that it was not so serious. The work had been communicated long ago, so it would be okay to participate. But Chen Ziyan firmly refused, insisting that he not have to work in May and should stay in school to take classes and rest.
"I know you are in good condition now and don't feel tired, but the problem is not that you are tired, but that once you work, your mind will start to focus on that one thing." Chen Ziyan said, "The safest way is to do everything first stop."
"There is no way to stop "Love Letter". The filming will start in July." Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.
"There is no way to stop this, but we are basically ready." Chen Ziyan said, "The production team, shooting locations, actors, logistics... I borrowed his assistant Zhao Yuheng from Lei Shuangcheng. As a co-ordinator, with him here, you don't have to worry about any of these things. From now on, for the movie "Love Letter", you only have to think about one thing, how to shoot it, and other departments don't have to worry about other things. You worry."
Chen Ziyan's tone was unquestionable, leaving Lu Yanhe at a loss as to what to say.
Lei Shuangcheng is the producer who has worked with Director Luo Yuzhong for fifteen years. Zhao Yuheng is Lei Shuangcheng's most capable assistant. Lu Yanhe had dealt with Zhao Yuheng when he was filming "The Golden Age" and knew his ability. He worked his way up in the crew with Lei Shuangcheng and knew everything about the crew.
Having such a person to coordinate will really help a lot.
Almost all daily troubles will be tied up with him.
Chen Ziyan was really shocked by the fact that Lu Yanhe was under too much pressure.
The first priority of all her things now is not to bring trouble and pressure to Lu Yanhe.
-
Chen Ziyan's style and attitude made everyone start to wonder.
What happened to Lu Yanhe?
Is there really something wrong with Lu Yanhe?
Zhou Shuchun, who broke the news at the beginning, has been silent and pretended to be dead after being confronted by Chen Ziyan, and no new news has come out.
At this time, the closing ceremony and award ceremony of this year's Holland Film Festival came.
Wang Zhong called him and asked if he could come to participate, saying that they received a call from the organizing committee, asking all the "Rouge Button" crew to attend the closing ceremony.
This basically means that "Rouge Button" has won an award, and it is a big award.
Lu Yanhe actually wanted to go. The closing ceremony was on Sunday, and he could make it, so the time was OK.
But after thinking about it, forget it. In his current situation, he should try to appear less in public. If his expression gets out of control again, then GG.
Chen Ziyan tried hard to cancel all his work in May, actually out of this consideration.
No one knows whether Lu Yanhe will come again.
So, Lu Yanhe decided not to go.
The news that the "Rouge Button" crew received the recall from the Holland Film Festival organizing committee and Lu Yanhe decided not to attend the closing ceremony of the Holland Film Festival was released at the same time.
On the one hand, people who follow this movie start to have their hearts beat faster, and start to look forward to what kind of award this movie will win. On the other hand, some people are wondering why Lu Yanhe is not present when Rouge is about to receive an award? Is it because he has classes that he can't go?
Isn't the closing ceremony on Sunday? This reason doesn't work.
Combined with Zhou Shuchun's previous revelations, everyone began to wonder if Lu Yanhe really had a problem?
For any artist, the most feared thing is this kind of specious rumor.
Because there is no way to prove it.
No one can prove that they haven't done anything.
Lu Yanhe can't go to the hospital for a check-up to prove that he doesn't have facial nerve disorder.
If he does this, it will seem that he is serious.
Fortunately, some students from Zhenhua occasionally took a short video of Lu Yanhe appearing on campus, proving that Lu Yanhe is doing fine.
When the news came back that Rouge won the Best Actress and Audience Choice Awards at this Jose-La Roche Film Festival, Lu Yanhe immediately posted a message to celebrate -
Great! Congratulations to Sister Bi Ge! Congratulations to all the colleagues of Rouge! We won the award! (End of this chapter)
