Chapter 525: I'm Stealing Your Limelight (120,000 Words Updated!)
Sometimes, the way you tell a story is more important than the story itself.
This is a deep realization that Lu Yanhe had after becoming a screenwriter.
Looking back at many movies that he once loved very much, and even movies that many people regard as masterpieces, they actually achieved an unexpected effect through a misaligned perspective or missing puzzle pieces.
Liu Zhiyin's face turned pale.
"You really scared me."
"The development of the story is like a nightmare." Qin Zhibai also said, "I can't even imagine such a scene."
"It's really scary."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Just from the perspective of the drama, I feel that this is a point where it can continue to develop. The relationship between mother and child naturally has a father - and if the murderer is a stranger, even if He's a neighbor, but actually it's not likely to cause me They are shocked based on emotional and logical relationships. I have always felt that for a story to have a good twist, it must be both unexpected and reasonable. In such a relationship, the appearance of the father is natural. Killing my mother was unexpected."
"Furthermore, the father-son relationship can also solve what I just said, the disparity between a strange adult murderer and an underage child. If it is a disparity, even if I try to make all the processes as logical as possible, Rationalization, based on their own perceptions, everyone still thinks that a child can fight a fierce adult for so long and finally escape is a movie, not reality. "
Lu Yanhe said, "But if this relationship is applied to father and son, it would not be surprising at all. This is everyone's natural understanding of the relationship between father and son. On the one hand, the father may want to kill his son to silence him. On the other hand, I couldn’t bear to do this, so I, as a child, was given room to play around - the audience wouldn’t think it was Goldfinger at the end of the movie. In this way, you can not only explore the reasons why the father killed the mother - oh, no, you can actually add a premise to this story. The father does not know that his child is at home, or where he should be at school! , but because of an accident, he stayed at home and played hide and seek with his mother, but the mother did not tell the father that the child was at home. "
"In this way, the movie can also expand one content, that is, after my father cleaned up all the traces, he pretended that nothing happened." Lu Yanhe said, "I want to hide it from him and prevent him from finding out. I saw him kill About my mother."
"I'll go." Qin Zhibai looked at Lu Yanhe in shock.
"But there is also a problem that needs to be solved, and that is why I chose to pretend that I didn't find anything instead of exposing the truth immediately." Lu Yanhe said, "Otherwise the logic doesn't make sense. I could choose to go to the police, tell the teacher, or All kinds of ways.”
He was lost in thought.
Li Zhibai said: "Add a plot where he goes to the police, but the police think he is playing a prank?"
"That's too vulgar, there are too many scenes like this." Lu Yanhe said, "Why don't we add one where he is really planning to call the police, or find someone to help, for example - I thought of it! He sneaked out and wanted to go The neighbor borrowed a phone and called his grandparents, or wanted to tell them what happened. But before he spoke, his father also saw him through the window, so he appeared in time and took him away before he spoke. Back home. In this case, he had to pretend he didn’t know anything.”
"But isn't this too weird?" Yan Liang asked his own question, "Although it is normal to be scared after seeing his mother being killed by his father, but how does he know how to pretend to know nothing? A child who can play hide-and-seek with his mother should be seven or eight years old. At this age, I don’t think he can think so carefully. My first reaction is to call the police? "
"You don't have to call the police, you can call your grandparents." Lu Yanhe said, "Additionally, his father has domestic violence and often beats him and his mother. Therefore, he has been afraid of and disgusted with his father since he was a child. Every time When his father beats his mother, he would secretly go to the neighbor’s house to call his grandparents. You can even put this scene at the beginning of the movie, so that there will be a logical basis for his actions later.”
"That does help explain it a bit."
"I'm convinced, Yan He. You came up with so many things in such a short time. No wonder you wrote the script so quickly."
"This is still completely immature. I don't know how the story will end." Lu Yanhe smiled and waved his hand, "But this is a good thinking training."
Xiao Yun was very shocked during the whole process.
She may have never seen how a story is derived.
The process is actually a disenchantment process. Many times, what everyone sees is the finished product, so once they meet someone they like, they will praise it in various languages. However, in fact, many works are not that good at the beginning, and can even be described as bad. When the audience sees how terrible a work they thought was great at the beginning, the feeling is the same as discovering that gods have also ascended from humans - not so great anymore.
But for some people, knowing the process, especially knowing how bad it was in the beginning, will make them admire the work and the creator even more.
Being able to transform something from ordinary, ordinary or even garbage into a shocking creation is like seeing a beggar ascend to become a god. This is not the inspiration of the carp leaping over the dragon's gate, it is an otherworldly evolution.
"I suddenly felt that it's no wonder Yan He picked the scripts and picked them accurately." Xiao Yun hugged Su Xiao and sighed, "He really understands the scripts, but I don't. I will only get one script. After reading it, I think it looks good, or it doesn’t look good, but there is always only one feeling, and I can’t analyze the reason.”
Peng Zhixing said: "In fact, actors themselves are mainly based on feelings, and they do not necessarily need to be able to analyze completely. I also know some actors. When you listen to him analyzing the role, you really feel that he is a very good actor, with clear layers. The logic is rigorous, but the secret is revealed in the performance. The theoretical knowledge is very solid, and the practical skills are very impressive.”
"Who are you talking about?" Xiao Yun immediately asked with twinkling eyes.
Peng Zhixing threw a pillow over.
Everyone laughed.
Qin Zhibai raised his hand and asked: "Is there any other turtle soup? I still want to continue playing."
"I have one." Song Linxin immediately raised her hand.
Lu Yanhe stood up and said, "You guys play first while I go to the bathroom."
He went to the bathroom with a smile, and entered the only place in the house without cameras. The smile on his face slowly faded.
At that moment, he was not prepared, but he said those words by accident.
He knew that someone would definitely see it, and if he saw it, he wouldn't be able to sleep well, right?
He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Chen Ziyan: Sister Ziyan, are you free to come tomorrow? I have something to tell you face to face. Maybe, I got into trouble again.
Chen Ziyan replied instantly:...
Lu Yanhe: Don’t worry, the trap won’t be revealed right away.
Chen Ziyan: Are you sending me a warning letter?
Lu Yanhe: No, it’s not a warning. The trap has been poked, but it won’t be seen immediately. I’ll tell you tomorrow.
Chen Ziyan: How can I sleep tonight?
-
The next day, Chen Ziyan came over early in the morning and went with Lu Yanhe to have breakfast at a breakfast shop near the filming of the show.
Lu Yanhe asked the program team to temporarily stop filming him.
After Chen Ziyan knew what he said in front of the camera last night, her expression changed.
——I discovered that the person who killed my mother was actually my father.
To others, this is just a turtle soup game, and this sentence is just a possibility that Lu Yanhe proposed for the continuation of this story.
However, for some people, this is a hint and a hidden direction.
Chen Ziyan did not expect that Lu Yanhe would always hide this matter in his heart and never let it go.
Once they knew who that person might be, they actually let go of everything for a while.
Because they haven't figured out how to face this matter.
Lu Yanhe suddenly said this at this time——
And, he knew exactly what he was doing.
"He will definitely hear what you said." Chen Ziyan said, "He will also think more about whether you are hinting at something. Maybe, he will take the initiative to contact you. Yan He, in fact, this matter has been suspended It's been a long time, and with the achievements and status you have achieved now, I believe Those people don't dare to do anything to you anymore. It is foreseeable that if you don't uncover this matter in the next time, maybe it will become a past event and a secret forever. In the past. Have you seriously thought about whether you want to reveal this?"
Lu Yanhe said: "I don't know, Sister Ziyan, if I think about it clearly, I will tell you what I am going to do."
"Last night -" Lu Yanhe paused before saying, "Last night I suddenly had such an idea in my mind, and I wanted to see what he would think if he saw me saying that. I thought I I really don’t care about him—”
What Lu Yanhe thought was that this was actually a matter of the original person. As a time traveler, he actually had no emotional relationship with that person.
But he doesn’t know why. Maybe he really substituted himself into Lu Yanhe, or in other words, he has completely and fully accepted his existence as Lu Yanhe. Therefore, unknowingly, Chen Pinhe is no longer a simple person to him. Symbols have also become an existence similar to heart disease.
In particular, with what he has experienced in the past few years, while he has been forged with an increasingly stronger heart, he has also slowly dared to release his stress reaction.
Until then, he had been extremely cautious and kept constant in the face of changes.
Therefore, last night, when Lu Yanhe found that a vindictive mentality suddenly emerged in his heart, "Why did he let him hide behind so unharmed?", he was not surprised at all.
Chen Ziyan said: "So, to put it bluntly, you just want to test his attitude?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "No, I didn't think that much, I just wanted to... stimulate him."
Chen Ziyan was silent for a long time and said, "Then have you ever thought about how he would respond?"
"There won't be any response." Lu Yanhe said, "Maybe he doesn't know it yet, but I've already guessed it's him."
Chen Ziyan: "Then if you do this, you are undoubtedly making it clear."
"Sister Ziyan, do you think I can make it clear?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"You can do whatever you want now." Chen Ziyan said bluntly, "But you must think clearly and don't act blindly."
Lu Yanhe: "Then last night...was I a little blind?"
"It's nothing. No one would think too much except those who know the inside story." Chen Ziyan said, "What you said was also under the guise of making up a story."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"But if he comes to you later, for example, I mean, for example, he wants to confess the truth to you and recognize you as his son, or he continues to pretend to be dead like a bastard and does nothing, you have to think clearly about his possible reactions and how you will deal with them." Chen Ziyan said, "You already have enough capital, you can do whatever you want, but no matter what, you must plan before you act."
Lu Yanhe nodded thoughtfully.
-
After talking with Chen Ziyan, Lu Yanhe packed some breakfast to take back.
Mainly steamed dumplings and corn, which are more durable.
When he went back, only Yan Liang got up in the room, and he was not in the room, but went for a morning run.
After listening to what the photographer said, Lu Yanhe put his things down and went upstairs to knock on Li Zhibai's door to wake him up.
"Yan Liang has gone for a morning run, why don't you go?"
In the dark room, Li Zhibai muttered, "No."
"Didn't you say you would keep exercising?"
Li Zhibai pretended to be dead and silent.
Lu Yanhe actually did it on purpose.
The program needs materials, and some interactions between artists are the best materials.
And the materials he squeezed Li Zhibai - definitely one of the best materials.
This is the awareness of being an artist - Chen Ziyan reminded him several times that when recording variety shows, either don't record, or don't act pretentiously, especially slow-life variety shows like "Young Days".
Don't start pretending in front of the camera just because you are now an actor or a big star.
Lu Yanhe understood Chen Ziyan's meaning very well and agreed with this point very much.
Either don't record, or if you do, of course you have to cooperate with the program team to give some reactions and materials, otherwise why invite you here.
Lu Yanhe knew that if he really followed his usual living habits, the camera might not be able to shoot a few usable materials in a day, because there is really no program effect.
He is not Li Zhibai, who can produce natural effects by saying anything or making any reaction.
A master of program effects.
For example, he is now pretending to be dead and not responding.
This is different from Lu Yanhe deliberately calling him to go running. Li Zhibai's reaction is instinctive and absolutely unthoughtful, but it is a natural good material.
Lu Yanhe can imagine how this segment will be edited later in the program.
"You got up so early?"
Peng Zhixing walked over from the other end of the corridor in slippers, with messy hair and no combing -
Well, based on Lu Yanhe's understanding of him, this is also because he deliberately did not comb it and walked out with such an image, specifically for the camera to shoot.
Peng Zhixing is a very particular person. If it weren't for the program, he would not appear in public so sloppily when so many people live together.
"Young Days" has been recorded for four years, and everyone has become more and more familiar with what state to present in the program and how to strike a balance between reality and show.
Lu Yanhe said, "I bought breakfast for you, it's downstairs."
"You are so kind." Peng Zhixing nodded, "Then I can be lazy this morning."
"No, I didn't buy much, I only bought steamed dumplings and corn for those who want to lose weight, I want to eat scallion oil noodles." Lu Yanhe smiled at Peng Zhixing, "Please, brother Zhixing."
Scallion oil noodles are Peng Zhixing's specialty.
In this program, everyone loves to eat the scallion oil noodles he makes.
Generally, everyone's breakfast is made by Peng Zhixing, and among breakfasts, everyone's favorite is scallion oil noodles.
"Then you wake everyone up, and they have to eat the noodles as soon as they are cooked."
"Okay, I'll wake them up right away." Lu Yanhe immediately took on this task.
Lu Yanhe's way of waking everyone up is also very unique.
He found everyone's black history videos on the Internet, then opened the door, stood at the door, found a loudspeaker, clicked on the video, and played it.
Screams came one after another.
The director team laughed.
Lu Yanhe's behavior is so interesting that even the screenwriter couldn't come up with it.
A group of people went downstairs with sleepy eyes and drooping eyelids, and collapsed on the sofa.
Basically, none of them had a good image.
"Lu Yanhe, when did you become so wicked?" Song Linxin asked weakly.
"Yes, if it was Li Zhibai who did this, it would be fine, but I really didn't expect you to do such a thing." Qin Zhibai also said.
Li Zhibai snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "I have never been so wicked."
Yan Liang: "I learned it from you."
"That's also better than the master." Li Zhibai snorted, "I don't know how long he has kept those videos in his mobile phone."
"You should ask me how long I will continue to keep them." Lu Yanhe smiled, "The answer is forever."
Li Zhibai: "Fuck."
Xiao Yun sighed, "A good Lu Yanhe turned into Li Zhibai."
"It has nothing to do with me." Li Zhibai was dissatisfied.
"The disciple is better than the master. You said it yourself. He is because of your relationship." Xiao Yun said.
Li Zhibai: "Fuck you."
Everyone's cursing finally stopped in the aroma of scallion oil.
"Have you brushed your teeth? Have you washed your face?" Peng Zhixing asked from the kitchen, "The scallion oil noodles will be ready soon, hurry up."
A group of people dispersed like birds and beasts.
Lu Yanhe went to the kitchen very actively and brought his own portion of scallion noodles.
"Brother Zhixing, you see, they are all a group of people who are not active in eating and have ideological problems. I am the only one who truly loves your scallion noodles."
"Put me down, you just love to eat, and even if you love to eat, you will step on us." Li Zhibai was the first to come down after washing, and complained, "Just like this, they actually think you learned it from me? I I don’t want to do anything about it.”
Lu Yanhe: "That's right. After all, in your heart, you are already the most handsome, awesome, and best man in the world. No one can compare with you."
Li Zhibai: "..."
With a smile on his face, Peng Zhixing brought Li Zhibai's portion and said, "Eat quickly. Stop talking. It's making my ears hurt so early in the morning."
-
Lu Yanhe was also surprised. He originally thought that his mood would drop due to the sudden thought of Chen Pinhe, and he would be in a bad mood for a long time. However, he did not expect that he overestimated Chen Pinhe's influence on him and underestimated his current ability to adjust emotions. .
In other words, the program "Young Days" also allows him to change his emotions in time. This was something he hadn't expected before.
This season of "Young Days" is still recorded in several stages.
Everyone is really too busy. With so many popular celebrities, it is difficult to spend such a long time together without doing other work in between.
That's fine too.
Because in this way, they are not just once a year. In fact, such recordings will be spread over three months from August to October.
The first stage of recording lasted only four days.
After finally getting together, we had to separate again four days later.
It's actually quite good. If you stay together for a long time, you might get tired of each other. This way, they separated again soon after they reunited, which at least made everyone look forward to the next recording.
After Lu Yanhe came out of the show, before he could return to Ziyuan Bridge, he received a call from Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan said that the Venice International Film Festival invited him as a guest to hold a special screening of his works in Venice.
Lu Yanhe looked confused, "What?"
Chen Ziyan said: "To put it simply, they hope you can show up at the Venice Film Festival - you are one of the most popular movie stars, and they want to get you there to add star power to the film festival, but you have no works shortlisted. , so I want to take advantage of such an event to formally invite you there.”
Lu Yanhe was shocked.
"Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"It's no exaggeration. In terms of the depth of your work, you are no worse than others." Chen Ziyan said, "The only problem now is that at that time, the third phase of recording of "Young Days" was originally scheduled. We have already contacted the program team Signed the contract."
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget it. Although I am quite proud of organizing such a special screening of my work."
"This is a good thing for your career. This is a great honor." Chen Ziyan said, "It is rare for top international film festivals to open a special show for a filmmaker. To be honest, they opened this special show for you. I think it aroused The controversy will not be small. After all, you are still so young and have little experience. You usually do special screenings or screenings of such personal works. Those in the retrospective exhibition are basically world-famous celebrities. Compared with them, you are indeed a little behind. But what the heck, it’s not that you are deliberately trying to do it, they are just trying to do it for you. "
Lu Yanhe thought for a while, "Actually, I am also moved."
"Then let me go and communicate with Li Zhenzhen. This is indeed a rare opportunity for you. Let's ask for a leave from the program team." Chen Ziyan said.
Lu Yanhe sighed.
"I said categorically before that I will definitely record this season without even finishing a single episode this year."
After hearing this, Chen Ziyan was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe we can think of a way so that you can go to Venice and record the program at the same time."
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
Chen Ziyan: "It depends on whether the program team is willing to be generous and increase the budget."
-
"The artists in "Young Days" are basically all famous. In the previous shows, they showed their ordinary side in private. If we can go to Venice together this time, we can focus on them as popular stars in a concentrated and real way. That side.”
Chen Ziyan said categorically to Li Zhenzhen: "The show has been broadcast for so many seasons. It's time to find a new hot spot to make this show have an explosive influence? What else can be better than eight artists participating in the Venice International Film Festival together?" , the content that showcases front-line artists in front of and behind the scenes at top events is more attractive?”
Li Zhenzhen was confused and stunned.
"Will the Venice International Film Festival allow us to record a program?"
"I will negotiate." Chen Ziyan said, "Of course, I know that if you decide to move the third phase to Venice at the last minute, there will definitely be a lot of difficulties and troubles, especially the production funds will definitely need to be increased. This depends on you. , but when it comes to communicating with the film festival, including what activities the artists will participate in, etc., you can make plans and plans, and I will help you realize them.”
Li Zhenzhen hardly hesitated for long. His eyes immediately lit up and he nodded excitedly.
"good!"
How could the program "Young Days" be short of production funds! Besides, with so many variety shows across the country, no show has been able to capture such a theme.
Chen Ziyan did what she said and immediately contacted the Venice International Film Festival.
"Yan He is very grateful to you for this idea and your recognition of him. However, Yan He has already signed a contract with one of our most popular programs in China. During that time, he needs to cooperate with the recording of that program. There is a conflict in time.”
"However, I communicated with the show team and they were willing to take the show to Venice for filming. The eight stars of this show are now the most popular stars in China and even Asia."
When Chen Ziyan exaggerated, she dared to say anything.
"For example, Li Zhibai is one of the most popular male stars in China. He is also the leading actor in Liu Bigo's next film directed by "Late Spring". Yan Liang is the leading actor in "The Gold Rush" which was recently broadcast globally on HP. You must know the protagonist, who is also the star of "Six People". I won't introduce the others one by one, but they are all the most popular stars in China. If they come to the Venice International Film Festival together, I think they will definitely make Venice famous. The international film festival has gained the greatest attention and popularity in China in the past ten years.”
"If you are willing to authorize the program team to shoot at the film festival and coordinate some things for us, Yan He will definitely be very willing to come to Venice and hold a special screening of his works here." Chen Ziyan said, "In fact, these young people Stars, they will all be big names in Chinese movies in the future. If they can get involved with Venice so early, I think their feelings towards Venice will definitely be different.”
…
So, before the fifth season of "Days of Youth" was launched, a news suddenly spread like wildfire, saying that the fifth season of this year might go to Venice to record, and the stars in the show would be filmed in real-life scenes, real stars. Activity content.
This news has ignited a new round of expectations for this show.
But for people in the film industry, not a single Chinese-language film was shortlisted for this year's Venice International Film Festival, which made them a little depressed.
After all, Chinese-language films have gained a lot at international film festivals in recent years, and everyone feels that this momentum will continue.
The shortlisted work Hanging Zero Egg gave them a heavy blow.
Who knows, not long after, the Venice International Film Festival officially announced that this Venice International Film Festival will hold a screening of the works of actor/screenwriter Lu Yanhe. The specific works to be screened will be jointly determined by the artistic directors of the Venice International Film Festival, Bica Lodge and Lu Yanhe.
And as Chen Ziyan said, this news has caused a certain amount of controversy around the world.
Hold a special screening event for Lu Yanhe's personal works?
Someone asked a question directly at the press conference and raised a question to Bikaloch.
Bica Lodge said: "We invited Lu Yanhe to host this special screening event because he is the most outstanding new star in the film industry in recent years. Even in the world, there is no other young man like him. Likewise, we have produced so many masterpieces in just a few years, such as "Late Spring", "Three Mountains" and "Glory". "The Road" and "Rouge"... His acting resume is very brilliant. The Venice International Film Festival is the oldest film festival, but we always hope that more fresh blood will flow into our film industry, and Lu Yanhe is the most eye-catching one. New blood, what’s the problem with us hosting a screening of his work?”
What Pikaloch said made the reporter speechless.
However, the mouths at the scene were blocked, and some people's mouths could not be blocked.
For example, Japanese film critic Nagayama Kazuzo said that the Venice International Film Festival was a way to continue to maintain the film festival's attention in China when there were zero Chinese-language films shortlisted. A top film festival did this for a little attention. It's too low to do something so out of character.
Then, the film festival did not tolerate him and directly canceled Nagayama Kazo's pass at the Venice International Film Festival on the grounds that "prejudicial film critics are not welcome". He will not be able to enter any officially organized events, including every movie premiere.
Nagayama Kazo was so angry that he cursed the Venice International Film Festival for being petty on his social platform.
Of course, basically no one paid attention to him.
-
When Lu Yanhe selected his works, he felt a little worried.
Because there really aren’t many of his works.
Especially for movies, there are basically only a few of them. Apart from that, there is only one film called "The Lost Road", which is very unsuitable for screening at film festivals.
After thinking about it, Lu Yanhe communicated with Pica Lodge: "Can I add two TV series? Edit a relatively complete clip from them for a special screening?"
Pikachu was surprised, thinking that Lu Yanhe was talking about "Squid Game". After all, the drama he wrote was indeed very popular.
In fact, it is not uncommon to screen drama series at film festivals. As long as you are a big director or star, anything is possible.
Lu Yanhe was not talking about "The Squid Game", but "The Golden Age" and "River of Silence".
Lu Yanhe said: ""Golden Age" is the first drama I acted in, and it has a different meaning to me. The character I played in this drama actually has very few roles and has a very complete plot line. , I hope to edit this part separately as a special screening version, which is also a meaningful version.”
Pikachu hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
After all, this is the screening of Lu Yanhe's work. His debut film has special significance in every aspect, and it is in line with the theme of this screening event.
“I don’t know yet whether Maxine will agree to authorize screening of Silent River at the film festival.”
Lu Yanhe is very confident about the drama "Golden Age", and Director Luo Yuzhong will definitely agree to it.
But the copyright of "Silent River" is in Maxine's hands, so they may not necessarily agree to it.
Picalog said: "If you think "Silent River" is worthy of being included in this film list, I can help you communicate and negotiate with the people at Maxine."
As the artistic director of the Venice International Film Festival, of course he has a close relationship with Maxine.
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "No, Mr. Picalog, I negotiated it myself. If they don't agree, forget it. Five works are enough."
"I hope you will make more movies in the future and bring more of your films to Venice." Picalog said, "I heard that your first film as a director, "Love Letters," is going to the Jose Film Festival?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe said, "Its style is not suitable for Venice, but more suitable for Jose."
"Okay." Pikachu sounded a little disappointed, "I hope you can take the initiative to contact me for your next drama."
Lu Yanhe: "I will, Mr. Picalog."
Next movie?
Lu Yanhe smiled.
His next film will be a spy film directed by Bige Liu.
He still doesn't know what Liu Bigo wants to make the film look like. If it is commercially oriented, then he probably contacted Pica Lodge proactively, and Pica Lodge would only be willing to put it in the screening unit.
The artistic directors of these film festivals always keep their attitude very low when asking you for films, as if they will definitely treat these films with the best treatment as long as you are willing to give them.
But if the film doesn't live up to their expectations, then sorry, you have to make way for other films.
Lu Yanhe knows this very well, so he will not have unrealistic illusions - for example, just because he plays the leading role, he will open a back door and let this film enter the main competition.
In fact, it's really not necessary.
If the quality of the film is not good enough and it still insists on entering the main competition, then it will be scolded.
Still being scolded by thousands of people.
-
When Lu Yanhe went to communicate with Luo Yuzhong about customizing a special screening version of "The Golden Age", Luo Yuzhong agreed immediately.
"Oh, that's a good thing, bringing this drama to the international stage." Luo Yuzhong teased with a smile.
Lu Yanhe said: "This is the first time I have held a special screening of my personal work. "Golden Age" is the most special one for me."
Luo Yuzhong nodded.
"Your performance in it is good, not shabby." He said, "I will also read the materials that have not been broadcast and cut a version for you. When do you want it?"
"It must be done by September 2nd at the latest." Lu Yanhe said.
Luo Yuzhong nodded, "Okay, that's enough. You'll have to come over to fill in the dubbing when the time comes. Oh, yes, you'll also have to call Jiang Yuqian back."
"I'll talk to Sister Yuqian." Lu Yanhe smiled, "Teacher, are you free in early September? If you are free, please stand up for me. I'll also ask Sister Yuqian, "Golden Age" This drama has a very different meaning to me. You are the first director to guide me in acting, and Sister Yuqian is the first actor to act opposite me. I will be very happy if you can come together. "
Luo Yuzhong said: "I am a TV drama director, so I go to the film festival to join in the fun."
"Then I will go directly to the screening with the clips from the TV series." Lu Yanhe said, "Teacher, come with me."
Luo Yuzhong clicked his tongue, "Let's talk about it later."
And Jiang Yuqian, who was so busy that she finally rejuvenated her career and refused to miss any opportunity, immediately said after receiving a call from Lu Yanhe: "If you don't have time, you have to have time. I will try my best to adjust it and see." Can you change the time?"
There is definitely no time now. Jiang Yuqian is too popular. After a role rejuvenated her career, her team has been very good at doing everything with their own strength, making Jiang Yuqian a star in "Squid Game". The biggest beneficiary of the drama’s dividends.
And this is an appearance at the Venice International Film Festival -
Jiang Yuqian agreed to this level of activity because of her personal relationship with Lu Yanhe, and her team was also happy.
Finally, Huang Kairen heard the news and called.
"Damn it, there's a special screening of "The Golden Age" and it's just me and you're not looking for it, are you?"
Lu Yanhe laughed and said, "You didn't appear when I appeared, so there were no shots of you."
Huang Kairen: "Then don't you take "Rouge Button" to be screened?"
"Of course there is "Rouge Button", but I can't find the actors for every drama." Lu Yanhe said.
There is no such a big budget.
It costs money to go to Venice with so many celebrities and artists.
Lu Yanhe was prepared to pay for Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian's trip himself, but no one else would pay.
Huang Kairen said: "I was going to go anyway, so count me in, otherwise you would be alone in "Rouge Button", how lonely you would be."
"I have a whole "Young Days" team, I won't be alone -" Lu Yanhe retorted first, and then asked, "Brother Kai Ren, do you have work to go to Venice this time?"
"Well, an endorsement brand has an event there." Huang Kairen said, "I'm going there myself."
"Okay, then there's one more person to help me stand up."
Huang Kairen smiled and said, "You must also include me in "The Golden Age"! Even if there is no shot of me in the version shown, I will still appear."
Lu Yanhe: "You're so annoying. You're trying to steal my spotlight even though I don't have your camera."
"It's you who steals the limelight."
Lu Yanhe smiled.

Here, in addition to the matters in Venice, Lu Yanhe has another thing that is being intensively promoted, which is the program "The Birth of an Actor".
Lu Yanhe was not responsible for the production and coordination of the program. After he wrote out the planning plan for the entire program, he just took care of the people.
Lu Yanhe immediately went to find Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou. Chen Bige was quite surprised when he found out that he was going to do such a show. However, Chen Bige was quite interested in the format and theme of the show.
Be a mentor?
This is a very novel experience.
Chen Bige would not feel that he was not qualified to be this mentor at all.
However, Shang Yongzhou was a little hesitant, even a little resistant.
It's nothing else. He feels that sitting in the instructor's chair and commenting on other people's acting skills——
Very embarrassing.
It is not surprising that Shang Yongzhou would have such thoughts.
Lu Yanhe had also expected that Shang Yongzhou had such a character.
But Lu Yanhe had already prepared his words.
"Brother, you have been acting in movies, but not every audience likes to watch movies. There are many viewers who like to watch TV series. This show will also have some places for you to perform. Many viewers can see you through this show. performance." Lu Yanhe said, "This will allow more people to see your acting."
Movie stars actually do have such a shortcoming——
Even if movie stars have a higher status in the chain of contempt, in fact, in terms of audience scope, TV drama actors have a wider scope.
This is an undisputed fact.
Look at our four top actresses. No matter how international and famous Ms. Zhang is, she is a major star. In terms of national status, even her fans will not make a fuss about it.
There is no way, movie fans are born with a lack of nationality - no matter how popular a movie is, you still have to spend money to watch it in theaters, and the coverage is ultimately limited.
Unlike Xiaoyanzi's "Huanzhugege", the national degree is thick enough to last for thirty years.
Of course, I am not comparing them, but I am talking about such an objective fact.
Lu Yanhe said to Shang Yongzhou: "Brother, you are a very good actor. I think this is a good platform for everyone to hear your understanding of acting and see your acting level. Another one, you You are the leading male actor. This is an acting show for actors in the industry. If you don’t come, who can sit in that seat? If you don’t come, I won’t be able to continue doing this show.”
Shang Yongzhou: "..."
"Why don't you become a mentor yourself?"
"What kind of mentor should I be?" Lu Yanhe said, "Only you can do it. You can be the mentor. Only those famous actors dare to come and are willing to accept evaluation. Only what you say will convince them."
Lu Yanhe tortured Shang Yong for three days before finally agreeing.
Shang Yongzhou: "You are quite annoying too."
Lu Yanhe drooled, "Thank you, senior brother!"
For the last mentor, Lu Yanhe thought for a long time whether to continue choosing an actor or a director.
After much deliberation, Lu Yanhe decided that he still had to ask his teacher to take action.
As a result, his teacher said directly: "I don't have time. After returning from Venice, I have two dramas in preparation, both of which are scheduled to be launched next year. I have no time at all."
This time was not suitable, and Lu Yanhe could not force others to do anything, so he gave up his troublesome efforts and immediately contacted Director Chen Lingling.
"Director, Maxine is going too far." Lu Yanhe complained as soon as he came up. "I originally wanted to use "Silent River" as a film to be screened in Venice, but they refused to authorize it."
Chen Lingling: "You want me to talk to them?"
"That's no need." Lu Yanhe immediately shook his head, "I'm just angry, because this drama is obviously a very representative one."
Chen Lingling: "It's not as representative as you said."
Chen Lingling is still the same Chen Lingling who tells the truth and often makes people wonder how to answer the question.
"Hey, director, how about you help me make another representative thing?" Lu Yanhe said, "Only if you come, I can rest assured."
Chen Lingling asked: "What? You wrote a good script and you want me to direct it?"
"How can I? I haven't written the script for the second season of "River of Silence" yet." Lu Yanhe laughed, "I want to make a show, and I want to ask you to be my mentor. How about you watch something?" When you have time, can I treat you to a meal? Let’s talk in person?”
Chen Lingling: "If you're not interested, go find someone else."
Just hung up.
No matter how popular and influential you are now, Lu Yanhe, you can only be hung up in front of Chen Lingling, a director with a weird personality and who doesn't buy into other people's accounts.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that he would be rejected twice in a row by the two TV directors he trusted the most.
A little depressed.
Should we find Director Wang Zhong?
It's not that Lu Yanhe doesn't like Wang Zhong - it's a joke, who dares to look down on the best director of the West Tuer Film Festival.
But he is really not the kind of director who is good at training actors to act.
He is the kind of director who will spend a lot of effort in finding actors, and then you can figure it out by yourself.
Lu Yanhe filmed "Three Mountains" and later Wang Zhong filmed "Rouge Button", which was the same situation.
For a program like "The Birth of an Actor" where the technical aspects are on the table, Lu Yanhe thinks Wang Zhong may not be suitable.
The most important thing is that Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bi have agreed to come, and the remaining person must not be weaker than them, otherwise there will be an imbalance between the mentors.
The disputes between the mentors are also a highlight of the program.
If the difference is huge, who dares to argue? It's boring to just say "I particularly agree with XXX's opinion" all the time.
Lu Yanhe thought about it and counted all the directors and actors he had worked with, but he couldn't find anyone who could match Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou.
Lu Yanhe closed his eyes and thought for five minutes, then smiled and called Huang Cheng, the producer who had worked with Chen Lingling for a long time.
As soon as the call was connected, Lu Yanhe cried out.
"Brother Cheng, you have to help me!"
Huang Cheng was so scared that he almost threw the phone down.
He: "If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Are you trying to scare me into having a heart attack? Is there anything I can do to help you? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Lu Yanhe said firmly: "Yes! Director Lingling rejected me! Brother Huang, only you can convince her to change her mind."
