Chapter 597 Celebration Banquet (Update!)
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that everyone had prepared such a surprise for him.
Someone was holding a camera to record his reaction.
"Thank you, thank you!" Lu Yanhe opened his mouth in surprise and looked at everyone, "I really am... didn't you tell me that you are in a hurry for time? Why did everyone prepare this for me."
"Didn't you expect that all of us would prepare a surprise for you?" Peng Zhixing asked with a smile.
"I thought about it, but Zhou Tong told me that the recording time for the program was very tight. Just now, he asked me on the way how long it would take to arrive. He said that the program would be waiting for me alone." Lu Yanhe said, "I thought I would wait. You will come and celebrate after the show is over.”
"Luckily we were one step ahead, otherwise he would have guessed it." Peng Zhixing said, "How does it feel to return home with such honor again?"
Lu Yanhe hugged the flower, thought for a while, and said, "I can't remember how I feel for a while now."
"Happy, excited, excited -" Lu Yanhe shook his head, "That's the mood, there's nothing worth saying."
"It's a good mood just like this." Peng Zhixing stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Congratulations, Yan He, that's great. Congratulations, you have made another movie that is recognized by everyone!"
Director Luo Yuzhong also came over.
"Xiao Lu, congratulations to you."
"Thank you, teacher. This movie was made thanks to you." Lu Yanhe immediately hugged Luo Yuzhong warmly.
"I read your acceptance speech." Luo Yuzhong said, "It's not bad. You have maintained the standard of your previous acceptance speeches. You will continue to work hard in the future."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
Chen Lingling also made a rare joke, "Is it going to be more difficult for me to film with you again from now on?"
Lu Yanhe said: "Director, when has it ever been so difficult for you to film with me?"
Chen Lingling smiled and teased: "You are a movie star now, how can you still look up to us TV people?"
"To hell with movie stars, I'm a big shot, and big shots must be in full bloom!" Lu Yanhe deliberately raised his chin, showing a proud expression.
"Master, are you happy to have won the Best Screenplay Award this time?" Chen Bige asked jokingly.
Lu Yanhe nodded, "I feel a little bit of the mood you had when you won the Best Actress."
-
Lu Yanhe took a photo with everyone on the show team and quickly went to the dressing room to get ready.
Time is tight and it is indeed tight.
Lu Yanhe needs to familiarize himself with the script immediately, do his makeup and hair within an hour, and then go to the stage to go through all the steps.
Fortunately, Peng Zhixing was controlling every aspect of the process, so the pressure would not weigh on him.
The makeup artist who applied makeup to Lu Yanhe has also been in contact with Lu Yanhe many times because of this show.
Everyone calls her Sister Hua.
As a veteran makeup artist who has been in this industry for many years, she is not like some makeup artists who set up their own team and became a famous makeup artist specializing in serving big names in the industry. Instead, she has been working as a member of the program team or the crew. These jobs. Not every artist can hire a dedicated makeup artist. In this case, they need to use the makeup artist provided by the program team.
Lu Yanhe's style is easy to handle, and he only needs to apply a refreshing foundation. He doesn't have to have extremely high makeup requirements like many female celebrities, so Sister Hua's skills are more than enough. Basically, Lu Yanhe's makeup in "The Birth of an Actor" was handled by Sister Hua.
Sister Hua was putting makeup on him while talking about what happened in the program these days with a smile.
Today is the official recording time for the last episode of the program, but for the recording of this episode, the entire program team actually started preparing several days ago.
The actors' work needs to be rehearsed several times, and the flow of the program must be smooth.
Everyone basically stays together every day.
"It's obviously the last period. I'm very stressed. I've been very sleep deprived during this period. I've got dark circles under my eyes. I'm still paying attention to your news."
"You don't know how many people are waiting for "Love Letter" to win the award at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Wang Dashan even asked if the clips from "Love Letter" could be performed on the stage of the program's finals, but Chen Bige simply refused. , saying that Wang Dashan’s face can’t play the role of a male vase.”
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but want to laugh, so Sister Hua stopped her hand and waited for Lu Yanhe to stop laughing before continuing.
"Especially after the news came back that "Love Letter" won the Best Screenplay Award, everyone was excited. Zhen Hongyu also asked, whoever wins the championship, can he get a prize and star in your next drama? ”
Lu Yanhe: "There may not be a protagonist, but if you are willing to come and play, there will definitely be some specially invited roles. However, I still hope that after everyone is seen through this show, take advantage of this time to pick up more outside roles. Anyway, everyone is welcome to perform in my projects here at any time.”
Sister Hua: "Everyone heard that "The Birth of an Actor" is already preparing for the second season. I was joking that I was afraid that you would forget the old one when you meet the new one."
"Why do everyone praise me so much? It makes me look like an emperor with three palaces and six courtyards."
"Haha, let's record a program like this anyway. There is a lot of competition among everyone, but what's more amazing is that competition is competition. On some big things, everyone is quite unified, and they won't be torn in the face and helpless. On the same stage, except for He Sha."
Lu Yanhe raised the corners of his mouth.
To put it bluntly, people with acting skills and abilities generally have personalities. In such a competition, how can we not compete?
However, it does not mean that competitors cannot have mutual respect and common pursuits.
As for He Sha——
She is someone who has never wanted to show her acting skills through this program from the beginning.
"Then again, He Sha deserves it." Sister Hua said, "I heard that after she was banned by Northern Lights Video, she has privately begged for mercy several times, but no one bought it. Now basically no crew is willing to ask her to act, and the same is true for TV variety shows."
"She is in such a situation. Being banned by Northern Lights is only a superficial reason. The key is that everyone has seen how she stabbed the partner in the back. Who dares to cooperate with her easily? Who is not afraid of being backstabbed." Lu Yanhe said bluntly, "In this industry, personal character is too important. Anyone can be replaced, and the replaceability is too strong. If you make people suspicious, then others will certainly use someone else."
Sister Hua nodded.
"I agree. This is absolutely right."
The two chatted, and Lu Yanhe learned everything he needed to know about what happened in the program group during this period in just one hour.
-
Finally, the champion of the first season of "The Birth of Actors" was Zhang Pingqing, the runner-up was Zhen Hongyu, and the third place was Wang Dashan.
Luo Yuzhong, who came to serve as the flying mentor for the last episode, invited Zhang Pingqing to his next project on the spot.
"After filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", I have a police drama that has been in preparation for a long time and I still need a main role. I hope to invite you to star in my drama." Luo Yuzhong said.
Zhang Pingqing was so excited that his eyes were red on the spot.
After working hard for so many years, Zhang Pingqing was a low-profile actor who couldn't even play a small supporting role in Luo Yuzhong's drama before he appeared on this show. Through this show, his name has been included in the list of cooperation to be cooperated with major film and television companies. In the last episode, he was able to get the opportunity to star in Luo Yuzhong's next project.
For actors like Zhang Pingqing, this opportunity is hard-won and precious, and not many people can empathize with it.
When giving his speech, Lu Yanhe also said: "In fact, I have said many times why I want to launch such a program? Because in fact, we have been telling what is good acting and what is a good actor through language and some works, but it seems that there has been no channel like this program, so concentrated, frequent and with so many different actors to show what is an actor and acting window. Through these twelve episodes of the program, in the past three months, we have aroused everyone's attention and discussion about good actors and good acting, which is what I am most proud of."
"In our industry, in fact, in addition to In addition to those of us who are lucky and have been seen by everyone, there are many who have not been seen by everyone. "Lu Yanhe said, "I really hope that all the people in front of and behind the scenes of our show will have the opportunity to support these good actors who need to be seen by everyone in the future. I also hope that the actors, directors, and screenwriters who have been seen by everyone will leave some opportunities for all creators. "
"Good partners, good cooperation, good competition, and good works, all of us can get better and better with this industry, and it will continue to thrive."
As soon as Lu Yanhe finished speaking, Peng Zhixing immediately shouted "Good!" in an inspiring manner, leading the audience to applaud.
This atmosphere spread, and everyone was moved.
Lu Yanhe didn't know how many people would really listen to his words, but he really thought so.
This industry is a true 28th law, drought will die of drought, and flood will die of flood.
So, he sincerely hopes that flooded people can help drought-stricken people.
Only when more and more floods occur can lakes and oceans be formed.
-
In the interview, Zhou Tong asked about Lu Yanhe's remarks and asked him what kind of mood he was in when he said such a thing.
Lu Yanhe said bluntly: "Based on my own feelings in the past few years, because I am very popular, I have never felt that any project lacks investment. But in fact, many of my friends around them find it difficult to get investment for their projects. This is because I am Lu Yanhe, and they are not."
"In this market, the number of people who are currently seen is very small, and we, a small group of people, actually control a large part of the resources in this industry. If I participate, these resources can be mobilized. If I don't participate, even if these resources are shelved, they will not be used for a newcomer to try."
"For many new directors, especially those author-type directors, it is difficult for them to invite a well-known actor to act and it is difficult to attract investment, but if I like his script. Even if I only go there for a few days, it will make a big difference to his project. Maybe he can get enough investment to finish his film. There are also film and television companies willing to take over and help him with post-production and distribution. "
"Then there are actors. If an actor like Zhang Pingqing is not used as the leading actor by a big director like Mr. Luo Yuzhong, other directors would not dare to use him because they are afraid that it will not be commercially viable." Lu Yanhe said, "Now Zhang Pingqing has been recognized by many people and has become popular because of this program. Not only Director Luo has invited him, as far as I know, he should have received invitations from several leading roles. So I hope that he can actually bring one or two good actors into the game at this time, and bring them in. "
"Of course, this must be based on the premise that he has the ability and the role is suitable." Lu Yanhe immediately added, "For example, at this time, a new director asked him to play a low-cost art film, which may cost only a few hundred thousand yuan. If he thinks the script is good and the role is good, then I hope he will not refuse because he is a new director or the cost is low. Many times, a project will really have an opportunity to revive because of the joining of a key person. There will be more and more good projects, and there will be more and more audiences. This is a process of mutual feeding."
-
The next day, Lu Yanhe and everyone attended the closing celebration banquet of the program.
Everyone came.
At the lively celebration banquet, although the last episode had not yet been broadcast, everyone already knew very well that it would be successfully concluded and become a successful variety show.
When Chen Bige met Lu Yanhe, he said, "I now deeply doubt that there is anything you can't do."
The relationship between Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige is no longer the kind of strange relationship that requires compliments.
Chen Bige still said this, and he must have really felt so emotional.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "It's just because I have a group of the best people to help me do everything, so I succeed in everything I do."
"You have a point. For so many years, I haven't been on any variety show. I made an exception with you. You are good at it and people are willing to trust you." Chen Bige said, "Now I think about it, after I met you, I filmed "Rouge Button" with you, and did the program "The Birth of the Actors", and also filmed "Love Letter" and "Raise the Red Lantern". Each project is not like a project I would easily agree to before."
"There is no way, who made your first project with me, "Rouge Button", so successful." Lu Yanhe smiled confidently, "As long as you keep succeeding, your trust in me will become deeper and deeper."
"You are right." Chen Bige nodded.
At this time, Zhang Pingqing came over to toast Lu Yanhe.
"Little Brother Lu——"
This is the name for Lu Yanhe that Chen Bige brought up in the program group.
Lu Yanhe is very young, and many people are older than him, but many people are not familiar with him, so it is not good to call him by his name right away, "Yanhe".
This is an embarrassing thing.
Chen Bige led the way and called him "Little Brother Lu". It is appropriate for the younger ones to call him this way, and it is also semi-intimate and semi-close for the older ones to call him this way.
Chen Bige is naturally a close way of calling him, while Zhang Pingqing is more respectful.
Lu Yanhe: "Teacher Zhang, congratulations on winning the championship!"
He hurriedly picked up the wine glass and smiled brightly.
Zhang Pingqing: "Before I came to participate in this program, I really didn't expect to have such a harvest. Thank you for doing such a program."
"If you are free in the next season, come back to help." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "Wait until the day you win the best actor."
Zhang Pingqing hurriedly said that he had to keep working hard.
After Zhang Pingqing, several other people came one by one.
Including Liu Zhiyao and others who were eliminated a long time ago, those who were free came to attend this celebration today.
Lu Yanhe was drinking with everyone, and he drank a lot without realizing it. Almost everyone told him that they would play any role as long as he needed them. Lu Yanhe didn't know whether it was just a casual greeting in such an occasion or whether everyone really thought so, but he was very happy to say so.
This year is really a special year.
He sincerely felt that everyone seemed to trust him a little more.
This trust is no longer just trust in his "success miracle". On the contrary, it is a true belief that he has some kind of talent that can be sustained and a vision that can really see through the essence, rather than some kind of luck that falls from the sky.
"What you said in the last episode is very good." Chen Lingling said, "In our current industry, too many directors dare not use newcomers, and all want to use big-name stars."
Lu Yanhe: "Learn from Director Chen."
In every play directed by Chen Lingling, a large number of newcomers will definitely be used.
In the Phoenix Terrace that Lu Yanhe collaborated with her, whether it was him, Lang Xia or Xiao Yun, it was actually the same situation.
Of course, it is understandable that everyone wants to use big-name stars to guarantee the commercial benefits of a project. However, for other major roles, do you dare to use newcomers or give less famous actors a chance?
Just like "Wulin Wai Zhuan", there are already famous and popular actors such as Huang Kairen, Xiao Yun, and Jiang Jun, but also Liu Zi (Tong Zhanggui), He Jiang (Lv Xiucai), Li Youfang (Li Dazui) and other new actors who have never acted in film and television dramas.
Chen Lingling said: "I have a play later, and I invited Liu Zhiyin to act. It is a female group portrait play. I like the actress named Wang Jing very much. Do you have her contact information?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Should I recommend it to you? Or should I find a time later and ask her out to meet you?"
Chen Lingling: "Find an opportunity and let me meet her. I still choose actors based on my personal liking."
Lu Yanhe immediately remembered the first time he met Chen Lingling.
That time he also ran into Lang Xia.
Directors still like to use their own eyes to see whether an actor is suitable.
Lu Yanhe nodded immediately and said yes, and then said: "If I had known earlier, I would have invited her to come to "The Birth of the Actor" to play. She is indeed a very good actor and very explosive."
Chen Lingling: "I watched "Late Spring" and "Squid Game". She played the kind of temper and neurotic characters, and she was quite energetic."
"She later played in a movie written by me, which has not been released yet. She co-starred with Jiang Yuqian, called "Telephone." Lu Yanhe said, "I watched some of the clips. I have them on my phone now. Would you like to take a look?"
Chen Lingling nodded, "Okay."
So Lu Yanhe took out his phone, found the two clips they sent, and showed them to Chen Lingling.
"Tsk, this little girl has a promising future." Chen Lingling commented after reading it, "She seems to be a bit crazy."
Lu Yanhe: "She is a truly talented player. I feel that among the people in "Late Spring", she has the highest talent."
Chen Lingling: "But her image is a little bit worse. She can act in movies, but she doesn't look like a traditional protagonist in TV dramas. She needs to be a real star, and we need to tailor a script for her."
Now Wang Jing seems not to be worthy of having a script tailored for her.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"But this little girl is really good at acting. She's a good talent. If you have a suitable role, you should take care of her." Chen Lingling said, "It's a pity to let her play a supporting role in a TV series. It's better to let her play some outstanding supporting roles in movies."
"I don't have that many film projects later. I always feel that she is a waste of talent if I ask her to play a role that is not difficult. Moreover, as you said, her image is indeed not memorable. She is not ugly, but not amazing. It is not easy to find a good role suitable for her."
Chen Lingling said, "Then why don't you let her try the next season of "The Birth of Actors"."
Lu Yanhe said, "I'll ask her."
-
Chen Lingling suddenly asked about Wang Jing, which made Lu Yanhe quite emotional.
He said that acting skills are king, and Wang Jing's acting skills are so good, but the heroine of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was found by Yan Lingyu.
As Chen Lingling said, Wang Jing's image is limited. No matter how good her acting skills are, she is not as good-looking as Yan Lingyu. When she stands there, she looks like Yan Lingyu.
Originally, Lu Yanhe always felt that Yan Lingyu was rather cold and not suitable for the simple Ling'er, but suitable for the Little Dragon Girl in "The Return of the Condor Heroes". As a result, Luo Yuzhong was still Luo Yuzhong. He had a pair of eyes that could tell countless people, and he saw at a glance what Yan Lingyu was suitable for Ling'er.
When she was dressed up, Lu Yanhe was stunned when he saw the video.
He suddenly realized that Yan Lingyu was actually like the fairy sister to some extent. The ancient costume and modern costume were completely two different feelings.
Yan Lingyu had never shown herself in ancient costume, and Lu Yanhe had never imagined what Yan Lingyu looked like in ancient costume.
When she was dressed up, she looked at the camera with her mouth corners raised and smiled slightly. For a moment, it was like an iceberg suddenly seeing the sun.
In Yan Lingyu's eyes, there was actually a very clean and clear charm.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is one of the most anticipated major projects this year.
The information of the heroine is very confidential.
Of course, this big pie is almost watched by all the rising young actresses in the circle, and they try every means to get it.
If the female lead can't be taken, other female main roles are also possible.
However, except for Yan Lingyu, the main female roles of this project have basically been determined and will be decided through auditions.
When everyone was still trying hard to find connections and people to send themselves in, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" suddenly announced that it would hold auditions.
Moreover, there are a total of eight main roles released for auditions, all of which are main roles with names.
-
In addition to the second female role Lin Yueru and the third female role Anu, two other female roles were also released, one is the descendant of Nuwa played by Sun Li in the original version, and the other is the role played by Jiang Xin in the original version.
As for the male roles, Lu Yanhe and the other three have already taken the lead roles, but there are also three roles with a lot of scenes, the Moon Worshiper, the Drunken Sword Fairy, and Jiang Ming, which are all released and actors are selected through auditions.
No one expected that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" would be so generous as to offer so many roles for auditions.
Moreover, Lu Yanhe did not interfere in this regard and gave it all to Director Luo Yuzhong.
-
As for Lu Yanhe, on the one hand, he was preparing for the filming of "Tropical Rain Season" which will be filmed next month, and on the other hand, he was also reading the script.
The outstanding box office performance of "The Mist" and the good reputation of "Love Letter" at the Jose-La Mancha Film Festival have made him receive invitations from more than a dozen projects in the past month.
Both domestic and overseas.
In particular, the news that he will participate in the low-cost art film "Tropical Rain Season" in Malaysia has caused a great response in the independent film circle.
All of a sudden, many independent film directors have cast their eyes on Lu Yanhe.
If Lu Yanhe is willing to participate in "Tropical Rain Season", then is it possible for him to participate in their movies?
Most of those who are in the independent film circle just can't stand the constraints of those big studios, which does not mean that they don't want their movies to receive more attention.
