Eagerly Hope (10,000 Words Updated!)

The main reason why "Love Letter" has its domestic premiere and special screening with friends is at Zhenhua University, because it seems to be another "home base" for Lu Yanhe.

Around him, there are two forces that can really help him outside the entertainment industry. One is the network behind Chen Ziyan, and the other is the "Jump Up" team led by Chen Siqi.

Moreover, we are all in the entertainment industry, and we are more or less spinning in the same pool. No matter how fast we spin, we can't get out of the pool.

Chen Ziyan told him many times that he should firmly grasp the alumni circle of Zhenhua University.

The alumni circle of Zhenhua University is definitely one of the most important circles. After they graduate, they are distributed in all walks of life, and they are most likely to be elites in all walks of life. This is especially true in the financial world, which is closely related to the entertainment industry.

Chen Ziyan also said: "Not only do you need their help many times, they also need you many times. Of course, if they want you to be the spokesperson of some capital games, this still won't work. Many capitals will be behind the scenes. There are one or two celebrities who act as spokespersons for them.”

Lu Yanhe nodded: "I will definitely not participate in this kind of capital game."

"It's not that you don't participate in capital games, but you can't be their spokesperson on stage. The risk is too great." Chen Ziyan said, "Not all capital games are traps or pitfalls. If you can play the game, it means you are certain." There is a winner.”

Lu Yanhe: "But I don't understand either. If I really participate, won't I be fooled like a fool?"

"If you don't understand, it's enough for you to have someone around you who understands." Chen Ziyan said, "Your Linghe, Chen Siqi's jumping up, and even my picking up fire. As the company gradually develops, we will inevitably have to participate in it." Go into such a capital game. This is not something we can refuse to participate in. When you reach a certain height, if If you still want to be alone, you will definitely be squeezed out by the larger capital. No one will allow you to occupy such a large market share alone. What you are taking away is other people's cakes. And if you have Zhenhua behind you. The support the circle gives you in various fields, anyone who wants to target you must weigh their own weight."

Lu Yanhe: "Okay."

"But does this have anything to do with my insistence on holding a screening event in Zhenhua?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Chen Ziyan: "Yes, you have graduated, but your relationship with the school is still close. You need to send this signal to the outside world, especially people in Zhenhua circle. In addition to benefits, there are also favors. The school will help you connect. The most important thing is that the foundation of cooperation is much deeper than that of those outside. Yes, you have to let people in Zhenhua’s circle see you and think of you from time to time. You are the first top star that has come out of Zhenhua in recent years. Believe me, with your current popularity and your popularity in The achievements in this field will make many of your seniors proud of you as their junior.”

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Okay."

-

For the special screening of "Love Letter" in Zhenhua, Zhenhua is responsible for connecting with the Youth Association. The current president of the Youth Association is Wang Xiao - the first person in the history of the association to serve as president for four years, and it looks like he can go further. A history-breaking president.

There will still be a red carpet and photo area.

This time, walking on the red carpet with Lu Yanhe were three of his undergraduate roommates.

This is also specially arranged by the company.

Chen Siqi will walk on the red carpet with Lin Yu, Li Pengfei and other high school classmates from No. 13 Middle School.

For such a movie that has a meaning of "remembering youth", the company hopes to play the "classmate card". Through such an arrangement, the outside world can see that Lu Yanhe attaches great importance to his former classmates.

After many celebrities and artists become famous, due to changes in their life circles, they often reduce their contact with old friends. It's not that they deliberately feel that they can't communicate with each other, but the common life and common topics are becoming less and less, and such a result is unavoidable.

But Lu Yanhe has indeed always kept in touch with his old classmates.

When Lu Yanhe's "high school classmates" and "college classmates" appeared on the red carpet, the media invited to the scene showed a bit of shock.

For this screening at Zhenhua University, Lu Yanhe did not invite any of his friends from the entertainment industry - if you do not count Miao Yue, who is also a screenwriter in the entertainment industry, there were only three leading actors present, Lu Yanhe, Chen Bige and Zhang Ruozhi.

The media never imagined that the first public screening of "Love Letter" in China would be so "starry".

Of course, at this time, no one would say that Lu Yanhe was not popular enough to invite celebrities to participate.

No matter how shameless the media is, it cannot say such a thing. As long as Lu Yanhe invites him, he can definitely turn the screening event of his movie into a scene comparable to an awards ceremony.

Obviously, this is the arrangement of the film side.

A friend’s field is a friend’s field.

It’s really a place of friends.

This feeling became even deeper when Lu Yanhe walked on the red carpet with Zhou Mukai, Mao Jiayang, and Xiao Jing.

Be interviewed.

When asked why he chose to walk the red carpet with his three roommates instead of his girlfriend Chen Siqi, Lu Yanhe smiled and said: "I went back to Zhenhua today, so I went with my old classmates."

"Chen Siqi is also here today. For such a love movie, are you worried that Siqi will be jealous if she sees you being intimate with other girls in the movie?" a reporter asked with a smile.

Lu Yanhe blinked and said, "When you finish watching the movie, you probably won't ask this question."

Sorry, there is no intimate action in this movie.

Pure love, pure pure love.

Seeing that he couldn't dig anything out of Lu Yanhe's mouth, the reporter immediately turned the microphone to his classmates.

"Can you tell us what Lu Yanhe is like in school?"

"That's it." Mao Jiayang said, "It's almost the same as what you saw in the camera, there is no difference."

"No way? There will be some difference, right?" the reporter asked deliberately as if joking.

"It's really like this. He is very perverted. I watched him on the show. Sometimes when there is a camera, he will relax and be lazy. At school, except for sleeping, you basically watch in the dormitory. He was either in the classroom or in the library," Mao Jiayang said seriously, "At that time, he was writing scripts and often stayed in the library all day long. There were people checking in at our school's internal forum every day. "As long as Yan He goes to the library, someone will post a message."

Zhou Mukai added: "In the second semester of his junior year, he basically completed the first draft of his graduation thesis. I admire him very much."

"Stop praising me. You make me seem like a super college tyrant. My grades in school have never been ranked in the 15th percentile." Lu Yanhe quickly stopped, "I work so hard and my grades are so average."

Xiao Jing laughed.

Lu Yanhe "threatened" media reporters: "Don't report this section."

After talking and laughing, they ended the interview and entered the auditorium.

-

The auditorium was very lively.

The auditorium can accommodate 500 people. Those present today are mainly teachers and students of Zhenhua University.

Lu Yanhe's group of relatives and friends only occupies a small part.

The dean of the Faculty of Arts was in attendance, as well as a vice-chancellor of the school.

This was all contacted by Wang Xiao.

As soon as Lu Yanhe came in, Wang Xiao strode over, patted him on the shoulder, and welcomed him warmly: "Finally back to school!"

Lu Yanhe smiled: "How can I be so embarrassed to come back if I don't bring some works with me?"

Wang Xiao: "You yourself are the greatest work, you are talking nonsense."

He took Lu Yanhe to greet several leaders of the school first. After that, Lu Yanhe sat down and Wang Xiao came on stage. As the host, he gave a brief introduction to the screening event, especially the introduction. Let’s take a look at the two awards this film won at the Jose Film Festival, and then the film screening began.

-

Although Chen Siqi did not walk the red carpet with Lu Yanhe, her seat was still arranged next to Lu Yanhe.

This is not the first time Chen Siqi has watched "Love Letter".

During the screening of the movie, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi were not very attentive and spoke very softly in each other's ears from time to time.

After the movie screening ended, the lights came on, and when Lu Yanhe came to his senses, many people around him had red and swollen eyes.

"..."

Well, it seems that movies like "Love Letter" are even more tear-jerking bombs for students in schools.

There was thunderous applause.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige both stood up, turned around, waved and said hello to the audience with bright smiles.

The inexperienced Zhang Ruozhi was reminded by others at this time, and stood up as if waking up from a dream. He stood beside Chen Bige shyly and greeted everyone.

The response was very enthusiastic.

People from the Youth Association have begun to move chairs onto the stage, and they will hold a communication event later.

Wang Xiao is the host, Miao Yue is the guest, plus the three leading actors of "Love Letter".

Lu Yanhe shook hands or hugged the important guests sitting in the first row one by one to express his gratitude for their arrival.

If anyone has other work arrangements, please leave first. If nothing happens, continue to participate in the following sessions.

Only a few invited media were filming at the scene. Unlike ordinary screening events, the participants were a mixed bag.

Ten minutes later, Lu Yanhe and the others sat down on the stage.

Wang Xiao first asked the usual questions, and after taking everyone to get to the point, he invited everyone to share his experience of filming this movie.

Lu Yanhe had shared this kind of sharing several times before, so he didn't say much, just said a few words and handed it over to Chen Bige and Zhang Ruozhi.

Chen Bige said: "When I think about it now, I am quite scared. I am a very cautious actor when accepting roles, especially in the past few years. But at that time, because I had already collaborated with Yan He on "Seventeenth Floor", I filmed him again. The screenwriter's "Rouge Button", so When he said he wanted me to act in another script, I agreed without thinking too much. As a result, he wrote, directed and acted... Haha, I dare to say this now, but I was actually very worried at the time. , You’re not going to screw it up, are you?”

Lu Yanhe laughed along with the audience.

"Before filming this movie, he said that this movie might not be able to help me gain performance awards. He said that this is not a movie that focuses on the actors' performances." Chen Bige continued, "But he also told Although I may not win the award, this movie and this role may become a milestone in my acting career. I was shocked at the time, and I thought to myself, young people are prone to talking nonsense.”

Everyone laughed again.

Lu Yanhe could only make a "helpless" expression and gesture.

"But as I was filming, I slowly realized that maybe it wasn't him who was talking nonsense, but that I underestimated the movie." Chen Bige said, "Seeing everyone's reaction after watching it today made me even more determined. Thoughts, I originally thought...well, I found that I have quite a lot of prejudices. I originally thought that Zhenhua students were all rationalists with less perceptual thinking, so they might not be moved by this movie. As a result, Your eyes are no more red than others."

Everyone laughed harder.

Chen Bige: "Filming this movie was a wonderful process. The two characters I played in the movie are actually not very similar to my own personality, but during the filming, I could truly feel their hearts. Understand their thoughts, this is all based on a good drama In the past few years, Yan He and I have collaborated on many dramas. Except for "Seventeen Floors", several other dramas were written by Yan He. Sometimes I also think, Is it possible that if you work with Yan He too much, it will make everyone feel fatigued?”

"How could that be?" Wang Xiao faithfully performed his duties as a flatterer, "As long as you are willing to act, we want to watch any show."

Chen Bige glanced at Wang Xiao with a smile and thanked him with his eyes, "However, Yan He's script is completely different, whether it is the subject matter, characters, or style. Sometimes I wonder if there are different souls living in his body." , was able to write so many completely different styles of works.”

Lu Yanhe showed a surprised and unexpected smile.

He didn't know if his face showed some "guilty conscience" at that moment.

When it comes to Zhang Ruozhi, Zhang Ruozhi is almost exactly the same as in the movie, a very young but not introverted girl.

Her makeup and style are very clear and student-like, and she does not have the "transitional feeling" that easily appears out of place due to heavy makeup like many young female celebrities.

She said: "For me, making a movie was a very sudden thing. He and Sister Siqi...we were in a bookstore at the time. The two of them suddenly appeared in front of me and asked me if I wanted to make a movie. I was... Shocked."

Lu Yanhe said: "You were not just shocked, your first reaction was whether we were liars."

Zhang Ruozhi smiled shyly.

She was very embarrassed.

However, her reaction is very "Fujii tree", which is in line with her image in the movie.

Someone asked Lu Yanhe whether he would shoot a movie with Zhenhua University as the background in the future.

Lu Yanhe said that he has no relevant ideas yet. If he thinks of a good story in the future, he is very willing to shoot a movie with Zhenhua University as the background. He also welcomes everyone who has good ideas and creativity to send them to Linghe Productions. Once he has a good story, he is very happy to work with everyone to create a movie about Zhenhua.

After saying this, the audience immediately burst into applause.

This is Zhenhua's home court. Lu Yanhe was able to say this in public, which naturally received cheers and applause from the audience.

"Someone commented before that you clearly wrote and directed this movie, so why did you get a role as a male vase?" During the question-and-answer session, a girl asked with a smile.

As soon as the question came out, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Lu Yanhe also laughed.

He waved his hand and said: "I don't think that the role I prepared for myself is a male vase. To be honest, in a sense, I believe that this role will be the most popular movie role that everyone remembers me since I started acting. The character that I will remember the most for the longest time.”

When Miao Yue heard what Lu Yanhe said, she thought Lu Yanhe was joking at first, but after waiting for a long time, Lu Yanhe didn't give a signal that "I am making fun of myself", so she was a little surprised and asked: "Why did you say that? ?”

Lu Yanhe betrayed him.

"It's not good if I say it myself. Let's wait for the audience's reaction. After a few years, we will see if my judgment today is correct." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

With this special friend screening at Zhenhua University, the promotion of "Love Letter" is fully launched.

The next day, "How are you?" I'm fine" program aired, released a trailer, and announced that the first episode will be launched in three days.

"Do you remember who you had a crush on back then?"

"Do you know who you were secretly in love with?"

"How are you after all these years?"

Every sentence of copywriting reveals the theme of this program.

The last sentence: This program is inspired by the movie "Love Letter" which will be released on Chinese Valentine's Day.

Chen Siqi forwarded the trailer and wrote——

This program is planned by Xin Zixing, the producer of the hit program "Rooftop Confessions". P.S. A little behind-the-scenes story: I'm asking, sister, do you have any good ideas for promoting "Love Letter"? My sister said she had to watch the movie first. After watching the movie, she said she wanted to make a show. I said, sister, our promotion budget is limited, and we can’t spend all the promotion budget of a movie on one program. My sister said, I don’t care about your promotion, I want to do this show. I was stunned, so I just did it as my sister said.

As the show began to ferment, screenings of "Love Letters" also continued.

It did not take the long-term movie route like "Path of Glory", but held special screenings in various places.

Mainly university campuses.

The domestic distribution of "Love Letter" was handled by Maowei. Longyan wanted to compete at that time, but its bid and distribution conditions were not as good as Maowei's. In addition, Maowei's distribution strategy for this film was more in line with Lu Yanhe's ideas. Longyan's distribution strategy for this film actually wanted to take the simple and crude route of big stars and blockbusters. Lu Yanhe shook his head when he heard it.

If this movie dared to take the distribution route of big stars and blockbusters, it would probably be questioned by a large number of viewers for "selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat". This is not a romantic comedy like "Fake Death".

"Love Letter" should indeed take the route of audience word of mouth, especially student word of mouth.

Use the topic of "youth remembrance" it has raised among the student group to see if the popularity of this topic can be operated to a greater effect.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige split into two groups and began to attend screening activities at universities across the country.

If a star is to appear in a university, basically all the teachers and students of the school can hear the relevant news. There are basically tens of thousands of teachers and students in a school.

Tickets for these screenings are snapped up, and this is when Maowei's ability as a distributor is reflected. Every time they arrive in a city or a school, someone must check out the school's screening venue in advance, bring the screening equipment and tapes to do debugging, and then develop a ticket purchase procedure online. Maowei has technology, a national network, and its own ticket purchase platform, so it is fully capable of implementing such nationwide college screenings.

Lu Yanhe spent five days on such publicity.

It really consumed his energy.

Later, he went on two of the most popular variety shows in China with Chen Bige, Zhang Ruozhi, Li Songfan, Wan Xin and others to promote the movie.

The show "How Are You? I'm Fine" is naturally topical.

Jump Up has made relatively large concessions in the advertising share and copyright cooperation of this show, so that Northern Lights Video and Icefield Video can invest more publicity funds on the Internet for this all-amateur show to attract traffic.

This show has become popular on the Internet as expected.

The two words "secret love" will definitely attract people to click in and watch on certain platforms just by saying them.

This program, at a time when various observation programs are emerging one after another, suddenly brings the relationship between men and women, which has been dissected to the ends of the corridor of time, back to the two ends of the corridor, allowing people to once again experience the nervous shyness of not daring to open their hearts when they were young, and the loss and deep regret of looking back on the past when they grow up.

The most hazy and ambiguous heartbeat between men and women has therefore returned to people's hearts.

The broadcast of the two programs will cleverly insert "Love Letter" in the form of "movie lines" or a certain movie shot at the beginning, end, and transition in the middle, seamlessly combining the content of the movie with the program, and directly raising the audience's expectations for the movie.

When July came to an end, the movie "Love Letter" had already spread the topic on various social platforms, especially on several platforms where college students are active.

This is a movie that is not afraid of spoilers.

After all, the death of the male protagonist was thrown out at the beginning of the movie.

This movie is even a movie that can attract people to watch it in the cinema the more spoilers are revealed.

Because the biggest feature of this movie is emotional resonance and infection.

At this time, the promotional tour of "Love Letter" was planned to be suspended for a few days as planned.

Lu Yanhe had to go to shoot "Hurricane 2". After that, he would go to another promotional line of "Love Letter" - media screening.

That was another battle.

Of course, the offline promotion of their main creative staff was suspended, but the online promotion was not.

After half a month, the number of people who wanted to watch "Love Letter" had exceeded 350,000, and the box office agency's estimate of the box office had also exceeded 500 million. The promotion effect was extremely significant.

Next, it depends on whether this good situation presented by the data can really be converted into real money at the box office.

There have been too many "Waterloos" in the past. Everyone is still afraid to really let go.

Movie releases are always like this. Until the box office on the first day comes out, you can never really know with confidence whether this movie really attracts audiences to go to the cinema to watch it.

Wanting and really going are two different things.

-

At the end of the month, Lu Yanhe flew to the United States with his team in a very low-key manner.

This time, it only took three days to shoot, which was still very fast, but it took another two days to go back and forth.

And this time, Lu Yanhe really saw what Hollywood's A-level production is.

In just three days, the crew provided Lu Yanhe with a car and a full-time driver. At the same time, the bodyguards and service team for the three days in the United States were all funded by the crew.

This is not included in Lu Yanhe's $1.5 million.

The hotel was actually a luxury suite with a price tag of tens of thousands of dollars a night.

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Is it so luxurious?

It's inhumane.

When Lu Yanhe was filming "The Mist" before, he didn't enjoy such treatment at all.

Of course, that movie was also a low-cost movie, with a cost of only more than 10 million US dollars.

The production cost of "Hurricane 2" alone was hundreds of millions, and the publicity and distribution expenses might still be such a high number.

At this moment, Lu Yanhe suddenly realized what kind of treatment the real top stars in Hollywood enjoy.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that when he arrived at the hotel, the crew's contact person asked him suggestively whether he needed someone to provide him with certain services, and specifically emphasized safety and reliability.

Lu Yanhe declined directly.

The next day, Lu Yanhe was picked up and taken to the studio.

All of Lu Yanhe's scenes in the past three days were shot in the studio.

Some were green screens, and some were real scenes.

Because he played an Asian elite, his style was actually very simple, just a suit and leather shoes.

However, even so, the crew prepared fifteen suits for him to choose from.

Business style, casual style, elite... In fact, if you don't look closely, there is not much difference.

However, for the costume designer of this movie, it was completely different.

While he was trying on clothes, the star and producer of this movie, Derrien Dylan, came.

"Hey, brother!" As soon as Derrien came in, he greeted Lu Yanhe very enthusiastically.

Derien is a very strong and "superman"-looking man with a traditional handsome appearance.

"I'm glad to have you join us." Derien Dylan patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder and said.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "I'm a fan of "Hurricane". I'm very happy to be able to film "Hurricane 2". I'm very surprised to receive the invitation."

In fact, he only watched "Hurricane" on the plane flying here.

Some false social words.

Derien Dylan looked at the outfit that Lu Yanhe had just changed.

"I must say that I suddenly regret inviting you to participate in "Hurricane 2." He frowned seriously.

Lu Yanhe smiled and looked at him, "Why?"

He had guessed what Derien Dylan was going to say next.

"Because you damn guy, you are too handsome and will steal my limelight!" Derien Dylan deliberately made a "bad" expression and tone.

Sure enough.

It was really guessed.

"..." Lu Yanhe smiled, "Okay, the media is right, you are really a good person."

Drian Dylan smiled immediately.

"Let's have a drink together after work today!" He said, "After watching "The Mist", I wanted to meet you, and now I finally have the chance."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said yes.

-

Lu Yanhe really had no room to show his acting skills in "Hurricane 2".

Although he had a lot of scenes in this movie, the shots kept popping up from time to time, and he was a character that ran through the whole movie.

From the beginning, he was an investor who had some disagreements with the meteorologist played by Drian, because he and Drian had some differences in ideas about a weather tracking system project.

When they really encountered a hurricane disaster that was rare in a century, he tried to contact Drian and his team, but failed to contact them, so he decided to drive to find them and take them to avoid this catastrophe.

As a result, when they found the protagonists, it was too late. They also had to help the people in the town avoid the disaster together. When the protagonists were trying to lead people to survive the hurricane disaster, Derian was almost blown away by the wind. He urgently grabbed Derian's hand and tried to pull him back.

However, just when they all breathed a sigh of relief, said a few words, explained the misunderstanding when they first met, and finally resolved the previous grudges, a piece of glass fragments that was swept from nowhere by the hurricane suddenly shot into Lu Yanhe's neck.

The Asian character played by Lu Yanhe died just like that.

A complete tool character.

There were only a few scenes in total.

However, fortunately, his character had a reversal before and after, and the act of dying to save the protagonist in the end made his character's image very positive, not just a pure tool person.

Today's filming was the scene where Lu Yanhe and Derian had a dispute.

He didn't want to design a past life for his character.

The tool role should do the task of the tool role well-

With Lu Yanhe's current ability, if he still "three-dimensionalizes" a small supporting role, the actual effect may be the same as "a wise man will make mistakes even if he thinks a lot", and he will play too much, which is incompatible with this simple and crude plot.

When Lu Yanhe was thinking about how to play this role, what he was thinking about was actually the settings of the supporting roles in the "Mission Impossible" series.

In "Mission Impossible", Tom Cruise is the absolute protagonist, but many other supporting roles, although they don't appear much, have absolute highlights and brilliance. Tom Cruise also did a great job in this regard. He didn't allow other supporting roles to have their own brilliance just because he was the absolute protagonist.

Those are all very labeled characters, but those actors are very awesome to play a feature to the extreme, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

Lu Yanhe thought about it, and inexplicably, he put himself in Zhou Ping'an.

A character who is not so good or so bad, and is based entirely on practical interests.

If we sculpt this character based on Zhou Ping'an's appearance, it seems that we can find a fulcrum.

But after hesitating for a while, he gave up.

In the script, this character is not actually a "bad character". He just has different ideas from the protagonist. His choices are more conservative and not as adventurous as the protagonist.

He is essentially a good person, otherwise he would not have driven to find them when he could not contact the protagonist group to warn them that the disaster was coming.

Lu Yanhe did not want to play his Chinese character as a "secular person" in such a global blockbuster.

Therefore, he finally decided to use the safest acting method, but to amplify the emotions of each scene and act instead of his usual habit of holding back——

By enlarging the performance, the personality and emotions of his character are dramatically externalized.

-

During the filming of the first scene, Lu Yanhe came to the scene.

This scene is a set, an indoor scene - the weather prediction center.

A dozen extras play the center's researchers and serve as backdrops.

Lu Yanhe is the representative of the center’s investors.

The director is a man named Raul Ward, who is bald and looks like a very mediocre and ordinary person.

Lu Yanhe said hello to him.

Raoul Ward nodded to Lu Yanhe and briefly told him how to shoot later.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

No more communication.

On the contrary, after Derien arrived at the scene, everyone suddenly seemed to have a backbone, and they began to pay attention from the busy state just now.

So did Raul Ward.

Lu Yanhe looked at the situation and made a judgment in his mind. It seemed that this was a film crew where Derien was the absolute core.

Of course, this is normal. Derion is a Hollywood A-lister, a real top movie star.

It's only normal that he can have such a say in his film series.

Lu Yanhe is a little worried right now, wondering if Derien will criticize his performance.

He knows that some actors like to do this.

Especially this kind of actor who occupies an absolute core position in a crew.

Fortunately, Derien still respects him.

Probably because he only gave him three days of filming, Derien didn't pick and choose Lu Yanhe's performance. Instead, he kept saying "It's great" and "You acted exactly as I imagined when I read the script." "etc.

Lu Yanhe never expected that an A-list celebrity in Hollywood would be so friendly and enthusiastic to him.

The first day of filming went much smoother than he imagined.

In the evening, he went to the bar with Derien.

At first he was surprised why a big star like him didn't worry about being watched when he went to a bar. Then he realized that after he entered the hotel with seven or eight bodyguards, a place had been reserved for him, and he was surrounded by people. He was guarded by bodyguards, and it was impossible for others to get close.

It was a place full of fish and dragons, but there was a place he designated as a pure land that "no strangers should enter".

In addition to the two of them, several other actors from the crew also came.

Because it was Lu Yanhe's first day here, everyone's conversation basically revolved around him at first, and they asked a lot of questions out of curiosity.

When they learned that Lu Yanhe was promoting a movie and that the movie he won the award at the Hollywood Film Festival would be released in about ten days, they all showed shocked expressions.

Derien was also surprised and said, "Don't you have to devote yourself entirely to publicity at this time?"

In Hollywood, generally after a movie is released, there will be various promotional activities, and basically all the schedule of the leading actor will be carried out around the movie.

Lu Yanhe said bluntly: "Our film promotion in China is different from Hollywood. You have formed a very fixed promotion model. Once a movie is released, there is an established model for how to promote the movie. But in China, if all It's up to you to do this, If I hold a series of screening events to promote a movie mainly through media reports and word-of-mouth from film critics, or record one or two talk shows, the box office will probably be very bad, even if I don't come to shoot the movie. It’s time for my current promotional schedule to stop.”

Now let’s get those early college screenings and How Are You? When the topic started by the "I'm fine" program slowly fermented.

It’s time for these movie creators to disappear for a few days. Otherwise, in the past half month, under the promotion of Maowei, everyone will be tired of hearing about them every day. By the time the movie is finally released, everyone may have watched it. Tired of them.

Derien immediately asked: "'Hurricane' only took over 40 million US dollars at the box office in China. Do you think 'Hurricane 2' can take a higher box office in China?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Of course."

"Do you think Chinese audiences will like this movie?" Derrian asked.

"Yes, the box office of the first film did not meet your expectations, mainly because "Hurricane" is positioned as a disaster special effects blockbuster in China. This type of film, unlike other blockbusters, has continued to have different films released in recent years. Therefore, with a larger base, there has been no disaster special effects blockbuster as big as "Hurricane" for a long time. Many viewers don't know what this kind of movie is like, so they might choose to watch another movie." Lu Yanhe explained according to his own understanding, "However, the first "Hurricane" has a good reputation in China. With its subsequent broadcast on TV and the Internet, there should be a lot of viewers who liked the first part and are willing to support the second part.”

Derien was very happy to hear what Lu Yanhe said.

"I believe that with your participation, more Chinese audiences will come to watch this film. I heard that your films have never failed in China." Derian raised his glass and clinked it with Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe smiled.

Derian did not seem to think that Lu Yanhe, who had just become famous in North America and even the world with the movie "The Mist", actually had an influence not limited to China.
