Chapter 542: Cheer up and Film! (7,000 Words Updated!)

"Sister Ziyan, this is wrong."

Lu Yanhe ultimately did not tell Li Yuefeng what he originally planned to say.

"Li Yuefeng was participating in the audition normally. Neither of us had seen his audition, nor had we seen anyone else's audition. It's unfair to arbitrarily say that he is not suitable for this role just because of what we know about him. ”

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "No, this is not only unfair, but we are too arrogant. Sister Ziyan, if we really think he is not suitable, we should go to the audition and actually sit there with the producers. Discuss his performance carefully, the performance of the other auditioners, and just talk about it."

"We shouldn't just deny him based on our own feelings."

Chen Ziyan was silent on the phone for a long time and said, "You are right."

Hearing Chen Ziyan say this, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, before he called Chen Ziyan, he was really worried that Chen Ziyan would not agree with his idea.

Chen Ziyan said: "Then... have you decided to participate in the audition for the backstage version of "Rouge Button"?"

"I don't know if I have time later. After all, the filming and promotion of "Friends", the release and promotion of "The Mist", and the performance of the Spring Festival Gala. Oh, by the way, which one did the director team choose for the Spring Festival Gala? Song, why is there no news yet?”

Lu Yanhe paused and continued: "After all, I will be very busy in the next period. I don't know if I can participate in the audition for the drama version of "Rouge Button". Of course, Icefield Video may not want me to participate. . All in all, if we want to play Li Yuefeng If the Twelve Young Masters put forward our opinions on this matter, we must get involved. Sister Ziyan, please help me communicate with them and see if I have the opportunity to participate. If not, I will treat this as God willing, I won’t comment on this matter.”

Chen Ziyan smiled.

"Then can I understand that if your time happens to be unable to participate in their audition selection, you will not express your opinion on this matter?"

"Am I a little selfish?"

"From a business point of view, it may not be selfish. I have also said that when it is obvious that Li Yuefeng is not suitable for the Twelve Young Masters, if Icefield Video still chooses him, it means that he must be the best in the market. untie."

Chen Ziyan said: "Moreover, you also said that Li Yuefeng is very concerned about this role and is determined to win it. To be honest, after hearing you tell me this, my attitude has also relaxed. To put it bluntly, our industry is one that can never be predicted. In the future industry, unexpected things happen every day, and everyone is not optimistic about it. Projects that became popular overnight, big projects that gathered big names and were backed by all parties, have turned into tragedies in the world. As you said, we are all just judging Li Yuefeng based on the prejudices we have formed in the past. Is it suitable for the Twelve Young Masters? Maybe he will surprise us all and bring us a huge surprise."

Lu Yanhe: "...We don't need to deceive ourselves from this point on. I just feel ashamed because I thought I was trying to ensure that I found the most suitable actor for this role, so I didn't want Li Yuefeng to star. However, I didn't know that Li Yuefeng was doing this. department How much hard work he had put into to get this role. I didn't even watch his audition, so I decided that he was not good. , I shouldn’t have said no so arrogantly.”

"OK, I understand, Yan He, what you said actually makes sense. You convinced me." Chen Ziyan said, "We all have to avoid falling into the trap of empiricism."

-

"I didn't expect that you would still find time to have dinner with me."

On Wednesday night, Lu Yanhe and Huang Kairen had dinner together.

This dinner was arranged by Lu Yanhe and Huang Kairen.

After finishing the filming of "One Stitch", Huang Kairen is filming the next part on the set of "Wulin Gaiden". Because he had a long-decided job, Huang Kairen had to take leave these two days, so Lu Yanhe had the opportunity to sit here with Huang Kairen for dinner tonight.

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "Actually, Monday to Thursday are the most relaxing days for me. During shooting time, there will be no need for any interpersonal communication."

Huang Kairen: "When "Friends" is finished and this craze passes, the situation will be relatively better."

This is actually how popular the entertainment industry is.

Every time there is a hit and phenomenal drama like "Friends", not only people in the industry are chasing it, but capital outside the industry is also chasing it.

The emergence of a drama like "Friends" is a carnival for the entire film and television industry - because more people will come to them with money to invest.

Lu Yanhe said: "I must say that I have never met so many people holding checks. As long as I am willing, they are willing to invest in whatever I shoot."

Huang Kairen said with a smile: "If you said this to people from other film and television companies, it would cause public outrage. Every time I see people from those film and television companies, they always complain that it is too difficult to find people to invest in these days. It’s no longer as good as it was when those coal bosses were around twenty years ago.”

"Haha." Lu Yanhe looked at Huang Kairen, "Brother Huang, I have something that has been bothering me recently. I need to hear your thoughts."

"Huh?" Huang Kairen put down the chopsticks in his hand with some surprise, "That's strange. Is there anything else you need to listen to my opinion on?"

"I'm not that arrogant. I think I can just trust my own judgment." Lu Yanhe smiled and told Huang Kairen what happened with Li Yuefeng.

"Brother Huang, you have played the role of Twelve Young Masters. You are one of the people who know the role of Twelve Young Masters best. I would like to ask your opinion."

Huang Kairen obviously didn't expect that Lu Yanhe came to him for this matter.

"Oh, Li Yuefeng?"

Huang Kairen took a deep breath.

"This needs to make me think carefully."

"You have nothing else to do tonight, right?" Lu Yanhe asked with a smile, "I'm also going to ask you to accompany me to watch the latest movie after dinner."

"OK, I have no other plans tonight." Huang Kairen nodded, "I can understand your first reaction. After you told me about this just now, my first reaction was exactly the same as yours."

Huang Kairen took a deep breath and said, "But I think you are definitely not regretting your decision not to interfere with Icefield Video's choice of who will play the role of the Twelve Young Master."

"Yes, I don't regret it. In fact, I think it was right for me not to interfere." Lu Yanhe waved his hand, "I have not questioned this matter."

Huang Kairen: "Let me guess, you are... don't know how much to trust your intuitive judgment?"

Lu Yanhe looked at Huang Kairen in shock.

"Brother Huang, I must say that what you just said made me feel for a moment that you were possessed by Sister Zi Xing. Only she can see problems so sharply that I am not even aware of."

Huang Kairen laughed.

"Do you know why I said that?"

Huang Kairen's eyes made Lu Yanhe show an expression of disbelief.

"It can't be...Brother Huang, don't tell me that Sister Zi Xing discussed this issue with you." Lu Yanhe asked, "Is this what Sister Zi Xing said?"

"She said that sooner or later you will face this problem. She also said that this is a problem that all talented creators will inevitably face." Huang Kairen shrugged, "Of course, it's lucky that she thinks that I Never face such a problem.”

Lu Yanhe: "This is so amazing. How could you just mention this?"

"Because we are discussing how to judge the quality of a project from the early stage of the project." Huang Kairen said, "We have discussed it many times, and we will argue every time. In fact, we are even like those big data experts later. , trying to summarize some rules and find some replicable and repeatable paths. This is nonsense. You don’t need to point out this problem of mine. I know it is nonsense.”

"Then, we talked about you. After all, you are the only legend who has never failed. Moreover, you are not a person with very low output. The film and television projects you participate in every year are equivalent to my two or three years. " Huang Kairen said, "Why can you find successful projects so accurately every time? You create and lead it yourself, so forget it, but you also cooperate with so many different people. project.”

Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say.

As Huang Kairen said, this may be the most incredible thing about him.

It is completely understandable if the works he brought have been verified in another time and space and are still successful in this world. In addition to them, every work he has participated in in this world has also been successful, which is indeed incredible.

Are there patterns to look for?

He has collaborated with great directors such as Luo Yuzhong and Chen Lingling, as well as new directors such as Liu Bige. He has also collaborated with Fu Kai, who has made many commercial films and is making an artistic film for the first time.

There is no pattern.

He didn't dare to say how discerning he was, and all the projects he had set his sights on were successful.

It's really luck.

"All I can say is luck."

"Yes, and luck... in a sense, for us in the entertainment industry, it is intuition. After watching many works and acting in many works, we develop intuition based on our aesthetics and values." Huang Kai Ren shrugged his shoulders, "And I'm obviously not good at this. That's why "Rouge Button" was rejected by me so many times."

He made a joke about himself.

"But you insist that I can." Huang Kairen shrugged, "In fact, many projects and many actors are determined by your intuition like this. You think Wang Dashan is suitable for starring in "People on the Road" ", you believe that Liu Bige's "Late Spring" is worth filming even if all the people except you are extremely new."

"But I must say that I actually benefited from a lot of people. My first drama was all thanks to you. Because you made the drama "Golden Age" a success, I was able to win the first drama. "Be known by everyone," Lu Yanhe said sincerely, "Actually, I have many projects. , it is not as legendary as others say, it is just as the market adheres to, with big stars like you starring, and big directors sitting in the chair, but because they are all superimposed on me, it seems that I have become The one who is 100% successful.”

Lu Yanhe is not hypocritical. The directors he has collaborated with, except Liu Bige and Bai Jingnian, who are not already famous directors? Not to mention the actors he worked with, except for "Six People" and "Late Spring", there were big names supporting him in every other movie, including "Three Mountains", which was also supported by director Wang Zhong. .

Lu Yanhe knew that in a sense, he had taken a lot of advantage.

"I don't deny this, but no matter what, the current positioning of the market for you is an incredible miracle." Huang Kairen said, "Now in the eyes of everyone, no matter what project you do, you will succeed, regardless of the subject. It’s not limited to the format, and it’s not limited to the actors. But the more this happens, the easier it is for you to get confused, right?”

Lu Yanhe fell silent.

"When the whole world is against you, you can think clearly about what you want and what you insist on. But when the whole world trusts your judgment with money in hand, you hesitate, and even feel a little uncomfortable. Dare, back down.”

Huang Kairen's eyes were particularly serious. In his eyes, he actually showed tolerance for Lu Yanhe, the junior who always called him Brother Huang.

"Is your idea necessarily correct?"

"Is your judgment necessarily accurate?"

"Is your attitude necessarily the most worthy of recognition?"

Huang Kairen said with a smile, "Zixing has always paid close attention to you. She said that she has known you since you were just starting out and watched you step by step until today. Especially in this situation, the fire is cooking." Oil, the fire is too strong, but you are a person who is very good at reflection and introspection at the age of eighteen. The fire is too strong, but it is a burden for you. "

Lu Yanhe sighed: "Sometimes I also think, it would be great if I had a character like Li Zhibai."

"Believe me, if you had a character like Li Zhibai, you would not be able to achieve what you have today. If an actor or a creator is not sensitive, emotional, back-and-forth, hesitant, how can he understand another person?" The complexity of a person, and How to capture the most subtle and subtle parts of life?" Huang Kairen said, "You said you envy Li Zhibai's character. I also want to say that I envy your character. I don't, so, I may always be a second-rate actor."

Lu Yanhe quickly waved his hand.

"How come?"

"I have accepted this after playing "Rouge Button"." Huang Kairen said, "In fact, this is also a good thing. After knowing the gap between myself and the top actors, I will not have too high requirements for myself. and looking forward to it.”

He smiled.

"One time Jiang Yuqian and I met backstage at an event. We chatted for a while, and she and I were unexpectedly very similar. But after we recognized the limitations of our acting talents as actors, we actually didn't realize what we had imagined. So disappointed, on the contrary, I feel that I have worked harder to a certain extent, because I know more clearly in which direction I should work hard, and I also know more clearly where I need to work hard.”

Lu Yanhe did not expect to have such a conversation with Huang Kairen tonight.

"So, having said that, you said that Li Yuefeng is determined to win the role of Twelve Young Masters. Regardless of whether he gets this role in the end, I believe that this process may be more precious to him than whether he plays this role. Our batch Actors have never experienced ten years ago or twenty years ago In the growth process of those actors in the past, we were created through auditions? I can put it bluntly, our group of actors may have auditioned no more than ten times from our debut to the present, because we are in a The environment has no such concept and it cannot survive.”

"Li Yuefeng was able to encounter such a role that made him prepare for the audition and fight for it like a real actor, instead of letting the agency and agent handle public relations and negotiations as before, and directly take the role. The contract and script came back, and he was sent to the set on the day of filming. "It's quite sad, at least in my opinion, this is the most precious thing Li Yuefeng has gained as an actor."

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.

"OK, I really learned a lesson." He said.

Huang Kairen waved his hand.

This topic ends here.

Huang Kairen asked: "Which movie are you going to take me to watch later?"

"Is there anything you want to see? In fact, I haven't seen any of the recent movies."

"Me too." Huang Kairen said, "Then we'll talk about it after we finish eating."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.

-

In the film and television industry, there is actually a saying that actors’ emotions must be protected.

Because expressing emotions is an actor’s job.

Once an actor is not in the right emotional state, it is almost impossible to deceive the camera.

At the filming scene on Thursday, almost everyone could tell that Yin Xincheng was not in the right state.

The filming in the past few weeks has been very smooth.

However, during filming this morning, Yin Xincheng frequently encountered problems, such as getting stuck, forgetting words, being unable to enter the state, etc.

Of course, actors are also human beings, and it is impossible to keep themselves in a very good position all the time.

But it is not common to see things like this in Yin Xincheng.

The most important thing is that this mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time does not give Yin Xincheng time to adjust.

"Hey, Xincheng, cheer up." After another NG, Bai Jingnian walked up to Yin Xincheng and patted his face gently.

Yin Xincheng also knew that he was not in a good state. He lowered his head in self-blame and disappointment and apologized to everyone.

The other actors looked at each other.

But the actor was not in a good state, and no one could force him to change immediately.

Bai Jingnian could only let the crew rest for ten minutes before continuing to shoot.

Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang returned to their lounge.

"Yin Xincheng is a little strange today."

"When I met him in the morning, he was absent-minded. I don't know what happened." Yan Liang said.

Yan Liang guessed again: "Is it because of the recent exposure of his relationship?"

"It shouldn't be that bad, right?" Lu Yanhe said, "This incident didn't cause much negative impact. Did the exposure of his relationship really make many of his fans quit?"

"I haven't heard of it." Yan Liang shook his head, "Should we go find him? Ask?"

Lu Yanhe nodded.

So, the two people who originally planned to go back to the lounge to rest, turned to Yin Xincheng's lounge.

As soon as they got there, Zhan Yun and Bai Jin were also there.

"Why are you here too?" Yan Liang looked at them with some surprise.

"I have the same idea as you guys." Zhan Yun said.

"Then... where is Yin Xincheng?"

"He just went out to answer the phone." Zhan Yun asked, "Didn't you run into him outside?"

Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang shook their heads.

They waited in the room for ten minutes, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.

They came to remind them that the scene was ready and asked the actors to go back and prepare to continue filming.

"Isn't Yin Xincheng with you?"

They shook their heads.

Lu Yanhe and the others returned to the scene with puzzled faces, but Yin Xincheng was nowhere to be found.

"Where did he go? Doesn't anyone know?" Bai Jingnian was a little irritable, and his tone was raised a lot.

The filming in the morning was not going well, and now the actor is missing again. The pressure is on my head and it is very difficult to bear.

However, this is the worst part of sitcoms. Many shots are taken with many actors in the same frame, and one less actor cannot be filmed.

Lu Yanhe and the others can only wait on the scene.

He tried to call Yin Xincheng, but the other side didn't answer.

"Did something happen to him?" After another ten minutes, no one in the crew found Yin Xincheng. Bai Jin asked worriedly, "Zhan Yun and I went to his room to find him. He was answering the phone and his expression was not very relaxed."

"He was indeed a little strange today."

At this time, someone came over and said that the security guard at the door saw Yin Xincheng driving away more than ten minutes ago.

After hearing this, Bai Jingnian threw the script in his hand.

Lu Yanhe was also a little confused.

What happened?

Yan Liang whispered: "Why do I feel that something happened? But I just searched the Internet and there was no news about him."

Lu Yanhe: "Something must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't leave without saying hello. The question now is, can we still shoot today?"

Everyone can only wait where they are.

Lu Yanhe waited in the lounge for about half an hour, and Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian came together to knock on the door.

Lu Yanhe opened the door for them.

"Have you contacted him?"

Hu Siwei shook his head, "His agent went to look for him."

Lu Yanhe sighed.

"What should we do now?"

"Wait until he is back, or adjust the script." Hu Siwei said, "Change his role to someone else."

Lu Yanhe reacted, "Oh, so you came here to ask me if I can change the script?"

Bai Jingnian nodded and said, "We can't wait forever for this kind of filming and broadcasting mode."

"Yes." Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, thought for a while, and said, "I'll try to change it. It's better to get him back as soon as possible."

Bai Jingnian sneered, "Even if we get him back, I don't know if we can shoot it in his condition this morning."

It's not an easy job to change the script temporarily.

Lu Yanhe opened his laptop, took out the scripts for the two episodes to be filmed this week, read them from beginning to end, and thought about it for a long time.

Lunch was also brought directly to the room by Wang Biao.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe revised a draft and sent it to Bai Jingnian and Hu Siwei.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yin Xincheng was brought back to the set by his agent.

His eyes were red and he was in a state of despair.

Lu Yanhe looked at Yin Xincheng in surprise, wondering what happened to him.

Zhan Yun came behind him, sighed, and whispered, "His girlfriend broke up with him."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned and shocked.

They just broke up after their relationship was exposed?

"Why?"

Zhan Yun: "I don't know. It is said that they broke up last night. Yin Xincheng suddenly disappeared in the morning and went to find his girlfriend."

Lu Yanhe was silent.

"Can you shoot?" Bai Jingnian suppressed his temper and asked Yin Xincheng in a deep voice.

Yin Xincheng shook his head, his eyes dull, "Director, I'm sorry, I can't shoot now."

"Okay." Bai Jingnian nodded, "Then you can go."

He turned to Hu Siwei and said, "Print out the newly revised script and let all the actors get familiar with it. We will start shooting in an hour."

Yin Xincheng's agent's face turned green.

"Director, director, Xincheng is very emotionally unstable now. I will do his work. Please give me a little more time, one hour, I guarantee he can return to the shooting site!"

"We have been waiting for him for a whole morning, we don't have time to wait!" Bai Jingnian shouted.

This was actually shouted to Yin Xincheng.

However, Yin Xincheng was indifferent, like a walking corpse.

Lu Yanhe looked at Yin Xincheng in disbelief, this scene made him feel incredible.

Not long ago, Yin Xincheng got drunk and was excited about their reunion to film together.

Why did he suddenly not care about all this now?

He could understand that Yin Xincheng was in a bad state because of the breakup, but he couldn't understand why he left everyone in the crew and disappeared suddenly because of this incident?

Why?

At this moment, Bai Jin suddenly walked up to Yin Xincheng and said excitedly: "Hey, Yin Xincheng, it's just a breakup, it's not like the end of the world, right?"

Yin Xincheng's eyes were red and he shook his head, "I'm sorry."

"What's the point of saying sorry? Cheer up and film!" (End of this chapter)
