Some People Are Righteous, some Are Rampant

On July 6, "Fake Death" was screened in advance, and Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang attended.

In order to avoid the effect of stealing the show, Lu Yanhe waited until the screening started and then quietly entered the venue in the dark.

The audience's reaction to the film was still very good.

There were laughters in the middle.

Lu Yanhe had watched it once, and when he watched it for the second time, he found some details that he had not noticed before.

Liu Bige is still Liu Bige, and he buried a lot of details in it. After Longyan Films insisted on making this film a commercial film, Liu Bige also made a lot of small designs in the film.

Including Lu Yanhe's watch this time, he saw that the color of Li Zhibai and Ji Miao's clothes in each scene was actually very consistent with the tone of the scene, not to mention some props in the movie, which were full of metaphors.

The last time Lu Yanhe watched it, he didn't think about these aspects at all.

He suddenly felt that although this movie might not be a favorite of awards, it might become a classic in the hearts of many fans.

Some moviegoers like to dig out details from the movie and look for the Easter eggs in it over and over again.

After the screening, the audience applauded.

At this time, the people sitting next to Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang found that Lu Yanhe had come over without knowing when.

Liu Bige brought Li Zhibai, Ji Miao and several other actors to the stage.

Huang Tai also came to the stage.

She can be said to be the boss of a domestic film company who has made the most public appearances.

Of course, she is also very popular. As an actor, she is very good at dealing with everyone in front of the stage.

The people attending the screening today are basically invited by Longyan or the main creative staff.

In this occasion, unlike the media screening where the situation cannot be predicted, the reaction is basically enthusiastic and supportive.

A 60-point movie can get 80 applause, and an 80-point movie can give people the illusion of a classic in film history.

However, whether everyone really likes this movie and thinks it is good can still be seen.

At least Lu Yanhe felt that he did not lose interest in the second time he watched the movie because he already knew how the plot would develop.

The movie is rich and detailed enough to be worth watching.

However, there was nothing interesting in the speeches of the audience, which were basically just some praises and compliments.

Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang were also called to stand up and talk about their own feelings about the movie.

The real highlight was the cocktail party after the screening.

Only in this place could we hear some real feedback.

Lu Yanhe heard two people standing together and talking, and one of them said: "If this movie was not directed by Liu Bige, it might have a good reputation."

"Yes, in fact, it can be seen from "Late Spring" that Liu Bige is a master storyteller, but the stylized things in "Late Spring" are too obvious, which overshadows the fact that his story itself is good. This time, "Fake Death" did not play that kind of stylized things. It is still good, but it is more or less disappointing. We didn't see what we wanted to see."

This feeling is probably like you go to a singer's concert. This singer is a singer you have liked since childhood. You can sing many popular golden songs. As a result, when you get to the concert, you are surprised to find that this singer sings songs you are not familiar with all night. Although he still sings well, you always feel that something is missing.

As a director, a creator, you only have the power to be imaginative when you meet everyone for the first time, because from the second time, you have to face a cruel fact-everyone will look at you with tinted glasses, and the tinted glasses are still put on them by you.

Lu Yanhe thought what they said was quite pertinent.

At this time, Chen Miao, the main writer of "Dream Back", came to Lu Yanhe's side.

She was a media person who had been following Lu Yanhe since he started acting and had published several articles in support of his works.

Because of "Jump Up", Chen Miao later accepted several invitations to write commentary articles on the attribution of some influential awards.

Lu Yanhe was quite familiar with her.

"Yanhe, do you think this movie is more popular in Jose or in China?" Chen Miao asked.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Will my answer be used in your article?"

Chen Miao smiled and said: "If it is used, I will ask for your consent in advance. I just want to listen to everyone's opinions now. I am a little conflicted and haven't thought about how to write my article yet?"

"Then I will tell you the truth. I think it will be more popular in China." Lu Yanhe said frankly, "Maybe some people who expect Director Liu to make a second work like "Late Spring" will be disappointed, but for the audience, this movie is undoubtedly good-looking and interesting."

Chen Miao nodded and asked: "What about you? What do you think of this movie?"

"To be honest, I like it very much." Lu Yanhe said, "But it is true that I have emotional factors in it, and I can't judge objectively. I know too well why every shot in it is shot and acted that way. In this movie, I can't distinguish between my rationality and emotion."

Chen Miao: "Well, indeed, I shouldn't ask you this question. What I'm conflicted about is that I'm worried that if I give this movie a positive feedback, or if this movie ends up being received well by critics, The feedback received is all positive. Longyan Pictures will regard Liu Bige as a commercial film director and will no longer support him in films like "Late Spring."

When Lu Yanhe heard this, he looked at Chen Miao in surprise.

Chen Miao said: "In fact, many people have known about the internal conflict between him and Long Yan for a long time. It is not a secret."

After making sure that Chen Miao was not trying to trick him, Lu Yanhe nodded noncommittally, "Do you want to prepare a big manuscript?"

Chen Miao: "It's pointless to write a rough draft. Long Yan's media relations have always been very good. By then, there may be many people praising Liu Bige's successful transformation of the film and other nonsense. I don't want to join in the bullshit. In particular, I still hope that Liu Bigo can make more movies like "Late Spring". There is no shortage of movies like "Fake Death" in China, but there is a huge lack of movies like "Late Spring" if it is director Liu himself. If you want to make a work like this, then forget it, but that’s not the case.”

Lu Yanhe nodded.

He really did not expect that some media people would consider these issues and write their own comment articles.

However, Chen Miao, Guan Suchen and other commentators have been able to write for such a long time and have such influence because they are different from other media people and always think about problems in a targeted manner. , published articles.

Business is always looking for ways to make money, trying to come up with a formula that can be replicated.

But content creators, if they want to stand out, must go against the rules and have their own uniqueness.

Chen Miao smiled and asked again: "The following question is what I want to quote in my article."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"You asked."

"What is the real reason why you decided to participate in "Hurricane 2"? I know you can't tell me the details, but I want to know from what dimensions you considered it." Chen Miao said, "Your choice will have an impact on me." It has guiding significance for the entire industry, especially actors.”

Lu Yanhe waved his hand, "Don't put a high hat on me. What I'm most afraid of now is the high hat."

Chen Miao laughed, nodded, and said, "Okay."

"Besides, it's not convenient for me to answer this question. Everything I tell you can definitely be said." Lu Yanhe smiled, "You know very well that as actors, when we choose a movie, sometimes it's just a thought. Sometimes it’s a combination of many factors, and it’s the right time, the right place, and the right people.”

Chen Miao: "That's enough. Your attitude itself is a guide."

"ah?"

"You never shy away from your utilitarianism." Chen Miao sighed, "Did you know? Sometimes, I see many actors making choices. They are too short-sighted and stupid for their utilitarianism. They only look at the land in front of them. It makes me feel very sad. And, as a fan of Chen Bige, I have to thank you."

"Thank me?"

"Thank you for making her more productive again." Chen Miao said, "Her recent films have all been co-produced with you. When she took over the filming of "Seventeenth Floor", I really thought she was in the film industry. She can't get suitable projects. You know, especially a top actress like her, who usually doesn't get projects with male protagonists. However, there are really not many movie projects with female protagonists, and there are even fewer good ones, and they are basically aimed at the age group of 20 to 30 years old. Fortunately, you use "Rouge". "Buckle" revived her film career, and "Love Letters" and "Raise the Red Lantern" were all books you gave her."

Before Chen Miao said this, Lu Yanhe didn't even react. It was true!

Chen Bige has already acted in so many of his scripts!

There is even a "Dragon Inn" that has not been officially announced!

Lu Yanhe: "Who wouldn't want to work with an actress like Sister Bi Ge? We just don't have good roles. It just so happens that I can write good roles and good scripts, but without her to act, my scripts may not be available so quickly. Approval from others.”

Chen Miao: "Let's make each other successful. The film industry has always been an industry that makes each other successful."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Miao suddenly said: "However, Li Zhibai's performance in "Fake Death" was so refreshing. When I watched his drama before, I thought he could act, not that kind of routine. The acting skills are not just self-motivating. None of the dramas gave me the strong feeling he gave me in this movie. His sense of relaxation would be particularly easy for someone else to act in an exaggerated way. He really has a natural ability to make the exaggeration just right in him. It’s an artistic expression without being greasy.”

"Li Zhibai will be very happy if he hears your praise for him." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

"In this regard, I feel that he is invincible now. Domestic male actors, especially young male actors, including you, let me tell you the truth, there are still a few of you who play complex, crazy, and difficult roles. Among them, you are the master, the more The better you can perform difficult and complex roles. However, it is almost impossible to find a simple, relaxed, comedic, or even comically exaggerated role like in "Fake Death". Here comes the other two. You have never acted before.”

Lu Yanhe gave her a thumbs up.

"You are indeed professional enough. Heroes see the same thing." Lu Yanhe said, "I have the same opinion as you. It is complicated and easy to act, but it is simple but difficult. Li Zhibai is unparalleled in this track. He is better than anyone else." Not as good as his sense of relaxation.”

Chen Miao shook her head: "It's not just a matter of relaxation. I don't know if it's talent or something about his way of handling it. I have to study it carefully."

"Then do you think he has hope of winning the award?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Chen Miao shook her head.

"This type of role is not one that is favored by awards. Unless the drama "Fake Death" is too good, otherwise, he will be highly recognized by the industry, but will not be able to win awards." Chen Miao said, "The aesthetics of award judges is still that of complex roles with huge performance space, like "Path of Glory", which is a typical favorite theme of mainstream awards."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"I heard that "Friends" is expected to compete for the three awards this year?" Chen Miao asked, "We have heard rumors that excellent sitcoms should be encouraged to enter the mainstream awards."

Lu Yanhe: "I don't know. I hope it can be done. However, I also know that it is not easy to change some stubborn prejudices, and it is difficult to completely change them overnight."

Chen Miao: "The nomination list for the Golden Tripod Awards will be announced in about two or three weeks. Several of our media friends have discussed this issue before. In the past few days, we will use our channels to speak out and appeal for this matter. ”

"Thanks."

"Although we are only in the media industry, we all hope that this big industry of entertainment will get better and better." Chen Miao said, "Only when we really go global can we know how weak our entertainment industry in China is. Although I You are a media person, but others don’t care what articles you have written or how many achievements you have made. When others hear that you are from China, their reaction is that they don’t like you very much in recent years. It's a little better, because some of our Chinese film and television dramas have popped up and they have seen them. You know, as a Chinese media person, when I interview foreign directors and actors, I often ask them a question, asking them if they have any. When asked about Chinese film and television works that I often like, they are those from more than ten or twenty years ago, and I almost never hear about those from the past ten years. It was only in the past few years that the situation has changed. "

Lu Yanhe said: "However, there are still too few Chinese-language films in the world now. There are only one or two films. In fact, there are so many people in China, and if only a few of them are active internationally, it will be nothing more than the world. It’s just an embellishment of the movie. I hope it’s better and has more weight.”

Chen Miao nodded, "Let's work hard together. Although my strength is very meager, I will do what I can do."

"Your strength is never meager." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "My agent often says that at least half of my achievements today are due to the support of your media and film critics. Otherwise, a newcomer will not be able to achieve what he has achieved today." Young people, why did you get pushed to your current position so quickly over those already successful celebrities?”

Chen Miao: "Come on."

-

According to the agreement signed by Chen Miao and Longyan Pictures, Chen Miao's article cannot be published publicly before it is officially released.

The agreement between Long Yan and her was not a formal agreement with the media, it was a single signature, just because Chen Miao did not promise to give "100% praise."

But this is also a good thing. For Chen Miao, she has enough time to write this article.

Before that, as Chen Miao said to Lu Yanhe before, she and several media friends, including Guan Suchen and Sanyang, had agreed to speak out together and call for "Friends" to enter the mainstream awards field. It can no longer be ignored.

In fact, their social media followers are not that many. Guan Suchen, who has the most, only has seven figures. On the Chinese Internet, he is just a big V. He is not the kind of person who can spark huge discussions and attention with just a few words. Opinion leaders.

However, several of them published articles one after another to talk about the significance of "Friends" to Chinese TV dramas and its achievements, pointing out that the "Party of Six" series was ignored by the three domestic TV drama awards in the past.

After several seasons of accumulation, especially the reputation improvement of "Friends", it can be said to be one of the most popular TV series in the past decade. This one is the one at the top of the pyramid.

Therefore, as soon as these articles were published, they immediately aroused great attention.

Chen Miao wrote directly in her article: The nomination list for the Golden Tripod Award will be announced soon. I hope that this year’s primary judges can seriously think about what kind of TV series should really be commended.

-

Huang Lian was so angry that he almost fainted.

He didn't think that Chen Miao and the others suddenly published such an article at this time, it was their own initiative.

There must be someone behind it.

"Look, if Lu Yanhe wasn't inciting these people to charge for him behind his back, would any of you believe it?"

At the meeting of the Golden Cauldron Award Executive Committee, Huang Lian was very angry and had an expression like "Don't you share the same hatred with me about this kind of thing?"

At the executive committee meeting, Huang Lian’s people immediately followed and echoed: "This behavior is too excessive. There is simply no bottom line. This is using public opinion to coerce us. We must let "Friends" win the award. How can we do this? of!"

Huang Lian said: "This kind of person is simply ignoring the rules. We must resolutely oppose this behavior!"

"That's right!"

"Chairman Huang, you said these articles were written by Lu Yanhe behind his back. Do any of you have any evidence?" A voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked over in surprise.

The person who spoke was Gu Mo, who had just joined the executive committee two days ago.

Huang Lian looked over with an unkind look.

"This is all a sure thing. Do you think there is any other possibility?"

"Is it possible that these people really think that we shouldn't ignore "Friends"?" Gu Mo asked back.

For a moment, the conference room was so quiet that you could hear the breathing of everyone around you.

Huang Lian: "Gu Mo, you used to be Director Luo's student. I understand that you helped Lu Yanhe speak for you, but at this time, shouldn't you avoid any suspicion?"

Gu Mo: "Chairman Huang, does this have nothing to do with whether I am Director Luo's student? Let's just discuss the matter. There is no evidence, but we have to conclude it. If this matter spreads, wouldn't it be a scandal?"

"Could it be that what was said in this room was spread out?" Huang Lian asked.

"It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before. It seems to have happened before I came here, right?" Gu Mo said with an expression of sudden realization, "Oh, I remembered, wasn't it because the previous chairman, Ms. Liu Yun, was at the meeting? Was he asked to abdicate after he said a few words that were not quite correct, but they were posted online and caused a lot of public opinion?

The people around him all held their breath, pretending to be dead, and said nothing.

The anger in Huang Lian's eyes seemed to solidify and burst out.

Gu Mo continued: "Whether the show "Friends" should be shortlisted for the Golden Tripod Award is a comprehensive guiding question in itself. Whether it is shortlisted or not, it attracts great attention. At least we must do it internally. With a clear conscience, if we all believe that Lu Yanhe is manipulating public opinion and trying to influence the selection just because of a few articles, who would think that this approach is right and objective? "

No one spoke.

Huang Lian: "Then according to your statement, we just ignore these articles?"

"It's reasonable. If we all think that their articles interfere with the normal selection, then we should condemn such behavior in the official name." Gu Mo said, "The key to this matter is that such behavior is really Will it interfere with the selection of awards? These few articles have indeed aroused a lot of public opinion, and have caused many people to discuss what kind of selection guide our Golden Tripod Awards should have, but have they really affected the selection of the primary judges in an improper way? Choice, this should need to be demonstrated, right?”

Huang Lian sneered.

But, he just sneered.

Gu Mo opened his mouth like a machine gun, smashing this originally unreasonable statement into a sieve.

In the end, no one said what action they would take because of this incident.

After the meeting, Huang Lian lost his temper in his office angrily.

"Who is he?! How dare he say that to me at the meeting?" Huang Lian yelled at several members of his side, "I don't want him to appear among us next time the election changes! "

"He is here alone, not a relative or a friend, and he dares to say anything. But he alone can't affect the overall situation. We have determined the list of judges for the primary election this time, so don't worry." Another person said to Huang Lian , "They will definitely select a list that satisfies us."

Huang Lian immediately asked: "Since he alone can't affect the overall situation, why didn't any of you speak up when he spoke at the meeting just now?"

Everyone else fell silent.

Huang Lian also knew what they were thinking.

Behind Gu Mo is Luo Yuzhong. Of course, a Gu Mo is nothing, but who wants to be the one who offends Luo Yuzhong?

Although Luo Yuzhong does not hold a position in any awards or associations, he is the top director in the TV drama directing circle, with connections, relationships, resources, and background.

Huang Lian can ignore Luo Yuzhong, but they can't.

Gu Mo dared to fire so fiercely, Luo Yuzhong must have been instructed behind it.

-

"This old guy Huang Lian has no shame!"

Gu Mo was stunned and his heart sank.

He had rarely seen his teacher so angry.

As a big shot in the industry, Luo Yuzhong rarely gets so angry because of some problems encountered during filming, except on the set.

After all, most of the time, his industry status is here, and people around him respect him.

Gu Mo said: "Teacher, although I stopped him this time, the primary judges are basically the ones chosen by them. I'm worried that this matter will still happen..."

"If this is really the case, there is no way we can interfere with the judges." Luo Yuzhong said, "But if they really dare to turn a blind eye to "Friends" and continue to exclude it from the nomination list, not only It’s up to the General Administration to explain the pressure from public opinion.”

Gu Mo said: "Huang Lian doesn't seem to be worried about getting into trouble from the General Administration."

"He thinks he has someone who can support him and protect him." Luo Yuzhong sneered.

Gu Mo was a little surprised when he heard this, "Teacher, what do you mean..."

"Don't interfere with the judges' matters, and you don't need to take any action." Luo Yuzhong warned.

I recommend an old book on the same entertainment theme, "I Became a Scandalous Heroine Overnight".

There will be a second update in the evening, please vote for it! (End of this chapter)
