Big Explosion, Run Around the World! (130,000 Words Updated!)
Originally, without Lu Yanhe's Weibo post, the "rumors" arranged by Chen Ziyan before, without any supporting evidence, were hard to believe. However, once Lu Yanhe posted this Weibo post, the nature of the matter seemed to have really changed.
Lu Yanhe's Weibo post clearly showed his dissatisfaction with the Golden Tripod Award.
Everyone was saying that he relied on public opinion to force the Golden Tripod Award to set a precedent for himself by creating a separate sitcom award.
He directly stated that this had nothing to do with him and that he did not apply for these awards.
For a time, there was an uproar.
When the Golden Tripod Award and Huang Lian did not respond for the time being, someone asked in Lu Yanhe's comment area: Will you go to this year's Golden Tripod Award ceremony?
Lu Yanhe: I didn't get nominated for the award I applied for, so why should I go? Be a mascot?
This response was even more ironic.
Did Lu Yanhe use public opinion to coerce the Golden Tripod Award and force the Golden Tripod Award to give the award, or did the Golden Tripod Award fail to withstand the pressure of public opinion, so it created such an award and pushed Lu Yanhe to the front as a mascot?
Lu Yanhe was very angry and went on a rampage on Weibo, which suddenly reminded many people of the past.
Lu Yanhe was not a person who would just accept things. He was a nice person, and he would smile at you and say that he didn't care if you scolded him in front of him. But if you really stepped on his bottom line, it would be useless for you to beg for mercy.
He looked like he was being tricked.
-
Neither Yuehutai nor other nominees responded for the time being.
They did not respond publicly like Lu Yanhe did whether they would accept the award, nor did they contact Lu Yanhe privately to communicate with him.
Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun responded to his decision in the group with a few hugs and thumbs-up emojis.
Other than that, nothing else was said.
Lu Yanhe didn't want to talk to them about this matter.
This matter was not decided by them. Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun had agents and teams behind them.
Until three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe was picked up and continued to run the road show of "Love Letter".
Lu Yanhe arrived at the theater and met up with Chen Bige, Zhang Ruozhi and others.
Chen Bige hugged Lu Yanhe and patted his shoulder.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I feel much better after I vented my temper." Lu Yanhe smiled, "Don't worry, I won't hold myself back."
Chen Bige smiled.
She nodded, "That's good. When I first saw this result, I thought the Golden Tripod Awards had discussed it with you in advance. I was still wondering why Sister Zi Yan would agree to such a bad practice. I didn't expect that it was them who made the change without authorization. Huang Lian is deliberately disgusting you."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "Yes, he should be disgusting me on purpose. He has no choice but to nominate me, but he doesn't want to nominate me, so he made such an operation."
Chen Bige: "How shameless, this kind of person."
The two talked for a while.
Zhang Ruozhi stood by and listened.
She seemed to want to say something, but she said nothing.
She is a very smart girl, and because of this, she will not speak rashly and say meaningless nonsense before she understands the situation.
Lu Yanhe noticed Zhang Ruozhi's confusion and nervousness.
"It's okay, it has nothing to do with you." Lu Yanhe said to Zhang Ruozhi with a smile, "Love Letter is doing very well now, and you have become famous overnight. If you have any discomfort, feel free to tell your agent or me. If you feel inconvenient, the sisters you know are all very good people, and they will be very happy to talk to you."
Zhang Ruozhi nodded softly.
-
At the roadshow, everyone was still very enthusiastic about their appearance and was not affected by Lu Yanhe's incident.
As Lu Yanhe said before, the audience's feedback on the movie "Love Letter" was very good. This is a good movie that is "higher than popcorn movies" in the hearts of the audience, but it is not so artistic that the audience feels that it is highbrow and can't understand it.
There were many young boys and girls at the scene, and their eyes were red.
There was even a girl who confessed to the boy next to her in public.
Lu Yanhe was a little nervous at that moment, afraid that the boy might not like the girl and refuse her.
Fortunately, the two of them could watch the movie together, and there was a high probability that they were attracted to each other, so the boy hugged the girl.
Chen Bige cheered excitedly.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"You are more excited than them."
Chen Bige: "I just like to watch this kind of scene."
"Are you looking forward to it yourself?"
"You said you expect someone to confess to me in public?" Chen Bige asked.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"If I don't like that person, I will reject him politely. If I like that person, I will beat his dog head." Chen Bige said without hesitation: "You don't even know what kind of environment I like."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
Lu Yanhe asked: "So do you have a partner now, or?"
Chen Bige: "How can I not have a partner? It's just that I won't introduce him to you until I'm stable."
Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded.
The host on the side heard the two people's private conversation, and his eyes widened, but he had to pretend that he didn't hear anything.
Afraid of being exposed.
Can you two be careful?
This is in a public place, this is on the stage!
There are so many microphones around! -
After the afternoon roadshow, they had dinner with the roadshow docking team.
Lu Yanhe arranged it and expressed his gratitude to the roadshow team.
It was hard work for the main creative staff and the accompanying partners.
"Yuming's roadshow ends here. We will take the high-speed train at 8:30 pm and arrive in Jinkou at 9:30 pm. We will run to Jinkou tomorrow and have four stops. Teacher Wan Xin will also rush to Jinkou after work today and meet us tomorrow. Teacher Li Songfan is still in the group and can't come out. Maowei has arranged a connection."
Wang Biao told Lu Yanhe about tomorrow's arrangements.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
This movie is of great significance to him. He has nothing to say about running the whole journey, but Chen Bige is willing to accompany him on the roadshow, which makes Lu Yanhe quite moved.
The agreement signed by Chen Bige only requires cooperation in two promotions.
Of course, Chen Bige received box office dividends from the movie "Love Letter". The better the performance, the more dividends she received. But this is definitely not the reason why an actress of her level is willing to run the roadshow all the way. It can only be said that Chen Bige also hopes to make the movie as good as possible for various reasons, and she also loves this movie.
On the high-speed train to Jinkou, Wang Biao was swiping his phone and suddenly exclaimed.
Lu Yanhe asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Biao said, "The Blue Ribbon Awards issued an announcement, saying that starting from the year after next, the three awards for Best TV Series, Best Screenwriter, and Best Director will be divided into two categories: drama and comedy."
"Huh?"
"That is to say, "Friends" will still compete with everyone for the same award this year, but if it starts from the next year, "Friends" can apply for the comedy category?" Wang Biao was a little shocked, "Oh my god, is Blue Ribbon doing this to support you, Brother Lu?"
"If a normal award needs to be changed, it should be announced in advance so that everyone can distinguish it from the beginning of registration." Lu Yanhe said, "I don't know if it's to support me, but after Wen Yang took office as the director of Blue Ribbon, he was attacked from all sides because of the replacement of judges and the reform of the award mechanism. Now it seems that Huang Lian must have contributed behind the scenes. If Wen Yang doesn't fight back at this time, he won't be able to sit firmly in this position."
The announcement of Blue Ribbon directly pushed the Golden Tripod Award and Huang Lian to the forefront.
The voices of doubt about them are even louder.
Lu Yanhe didn't care about Huang Lian's reaction.
His mind was now completely focused on "Love Letter".
On Saturday, the second day after the release of "Love Letter", the box office of "Love Letter" increased by 10 million compared to the first day, reaching 210 million, and the total box office has exceeded 400 million.
In just two days, the box office exceeded everyone's initial expectations for "Love Letter".
It can be said that under the early publicity and marketing, "Love Letter" successfully became popular through social topics and became the first choice for young people to watch movies.
Especially the first choice for couples.
A girl was interviewed outside the cinema and said: "A friend of mine recommended it to me and asked me to bring my boyfriend to watch it. She said that the two of us always quarreled. After watching this movie, we might cherish each other more."
The reporter asked: "Do you think your friend is right?"
The girl hugged her boyfriend's arm, smiled shyly, and nodded.
The third day, Sunday.
Bai Jingnian, the director of "Friends", took Wen Minglan, Yin Xincheng, Zhan Yun, Yan Liang, and Bai Jin, the five main actors, to watch "Love Letter" together, took a group photo at the entrance of the theater, and checked in on their social media.
Someone asked them whether they would go to receive the award, but they did not respond, just smiled and changed the subject.
"Love Letter" is a very good movie, don't miss it."
"Love Letter will be a movie that these people in "Friends" will watch together." Yin Xincheng vowed, "It is not only a choice for couples, it is also a choice for good friends to watch movies together."
Bai Jin said: "I hope Yan He can write a role for Zhang Ruozhi in the new season of "Friends" so that she can come to "Friends" as a guest star. She looks so cute, I like her so much."
The topic is off the charts.
The daily box office fell normally and received 160 million.
On the fourth day, Monday, as soon as the working day arrived, the daily box office fell to only 70 million. However, the discussion about this movie on the Internet has formed a wave. All major film and television-related self-media, without exception, are discussing this movie.
Some controversy has also emerged online. For example, this movie still cannot avoid the routine of two women competing for one man - although such controversy has also been criticized by many people.
On the fifth day, Tuesday, Maowei once again launched a double ticket discount service to stimulate everyone to buy tickets. The box office remained at 68 million, and the decline was almost negligible.
The Golden Tripod Award seemed to have decided to play dead to the end, and never responded to the controversy on the Internet about the previous situation comedy awards.
Xu Senjin, director of Yuehu TV, called Lu Yanhe to congratulate "Love Letter" on its box office performance, and also asked if he had decided not to go to the Golden Tripod Award ceremony this time.
Lu Yanhe gave him a very affirmative answer.
Xu Senjin said: "We may still have no way not to send someone to accept the award on behalf of the crew. After all, both of us are under pressure from above."
"I understand, Director, it's okay, this matter is my own business."
Lu Yanhe knows that in the adult world, not everyone can be willful and loyal.
In the real world, people are always in control of themselves, so the protagonist of the novel must be happy to take revenge.
However, Xu Senjin also said: "However, Yan He, you have done this very well. We will not let you be alone and lose face."
Lu Yanhe didn't know how Xu Senjin planned to deal with this matter, but if Xu Senjin could give him this kind of attitude in this situation, Lu Yanhe thought it was enough.
Day six, Wednesday.
Zhang Ruozhi appeared on Northern Lights Video Peng Zhixing's interview program "The Journey". As a newcomer who recently became famous overnight, he accepted an exclusive interview for the first time. The number of viewers of this program exceeded 15 million, and he mentioned three natural hot searches.
Zhang Ruozhi is really popular.
The daily box office continued to decline normally, with a total of 56 million collected that day.
Day seven, Thursday.
Chen Bige went on a live interview on Yuehu TV to talk about his career in acting.
Lu Yanhe and Li Songfan had an online conversation about "actors and love movies", a topic that few people talk about.
The daily box office continued to decline normally, reaching 52 million, and the daily box office maintained the 50 million mark.
So far, seven days after its release, the box office of "Love Letter" has exceeded 800 million, setting a new first-week box office record for domestic literary films and love-themed films.
The total box office is close to one billion.

"Generally speaking, movies that have room for textual discussion often face the problem of not being liked enough by the sinking market. This is something that all movie producers know. Therefore, sometimes, we often see that in some movies, there are For some particularly straightforward emotional expressions, it’s not that people don’t know how to express advanced things, but that they will give up more advanced expressions for the sake of a larger market.”
"The most popular line this summer is 'How are you? I'm fine.' Such a simple and straightforward line, in such a movie, can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people."
"I really like the comment from an audience member. He said that when he heard the heroine shout this sentence over and over again, he didn't know why, but he was very moved."
"In our era, more and more analysis, dissection, and analysis appear in our lives. We seem to have forgotten that being moved is a natural expression. Good movies and good lines often leave you unaware Why does it feel good, but you just feel good.”
Linyu smiled slightly.
"I am very proud that my high school classmate Lu Yanhe made the movie "Love Letter", so that I can openly say in this program, go and watch it without hesitation."
After the Yuehu TV program was finished, Linyu thanked everyone on the production team, said "Thank you for your hard work" and left the studio.
Chen Qin was waiting for her in the car.
"Don't you have any other work later?" Chen Qin asked.
Linyu shook her head.
"No more, let's go."
Chen Qin nodded, suddenly feeling a little nervous at this moment.
Linyu saw it.
She smiled: "It's okay, it's just a simple meal. Why are you so serious?"
Chen Qin smiled helplessly.
"Every time I go to your house for dinner, I get nervous," he said. "Every time your dad looks at me, he looks at me like a policeman looks at a prisoner."
Linyu held Chen Qin's hand and said, "It's okay, he actually likes you very much."
"Really or not?" Chen Qin looked completely unbelievable. He had never felt Linyu's father like him at all before.
Linyu: "Really, he just kept silent because he was afraid that you would be proud. In the past, they were worried that my puppy love would affect my grades. Now they think it's good that the person I like is a high school classmate."
"Why?" Chen Qin was puzzled.
"They always feel that the entertainment industry is a mixed bag and full of dangers. Although my job is in the magazine, I often deal with the entertainment industry, so you know." Linyu said helplessly, "They are also afraid that I will always be busy with work. Not getting married."
Chen Qin laughed.
"Then I'll be relieved."
Linyu: "What are you doing over there at Linghe now?"
"Mainly following Xu Tianming in copyright operations." Chen Qin said, "Yan He can do a lot of business with these IPs. For example, this time "Love Letter" was a box office hit, and many places came to talk about licensing. "
"Authorize what? Surrounding development?"
"This is still the next step. Apart from the co-branded product with Hans Coffee, we have not done any other peripheral development cooperation for "Love Letter". It is mainly some broadcast authorization. Now the domestic copyright environment is becoming more and more formal. , if you want to broadcast it in various places As for "Love Letter", as long as it involves commercial use, it needs to be licensed from us, including the Qianxing City Mall. They are asking us to get a one-year mall broadcast right from us. They want to play it in the mall. The movie is playing on a big screen in the square outside.”
Linyu was a little confused: "Is there such a commercial authorization?"
"Well, there are all kinds of them. Although they are not big incomes, they may only be small cooperations of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. However, a little adds up to a lot." Chen Qin said, "Including now, in addition to movie theaters, many private movie theaters Under the constraints of copyright law, they must obtain commercial authorization from us before they can make profits externally. Xu Tianming is working on some larger projects, and I am working on these small projects now. "
"This must be quite exhausting, right?" Linyu asked, "It sounds like you have a lot to deal with."
"Yes." Chen Qin nodded, "But I'm okay, because these IPs in Linghe are all very popular dramas. In most cases, others come to us to cooperate, and I don't need to run the business. Xu Tianming Let me do it because I know the law. There have been no mature cooperation cases in the industry before for these trivial businesses. Therefore, if you let me do it, you can also pay attention to the terms of the cooperation agreement if the company's current partner law firm handles it. There is no profit in these small cooperations.”
Linyu nodded.
"It sounds like you are opening up a new revenue chain for movies." Linyu said.
"Actually, it's not called pioneering. Many foreign films have long been systematized and industrialized because the industry is very mature. However, the real commercial development of our domestic films has only been less than 30 years ago, with theater chains and box office It is the main body and is being built like crazy, but other supporting industries are not that mature and will always be done in the future. We are just because we have many good IPs, so we can take the initiative and be the first in the country to eat crabs. people."
Chen Qin is now very satisfied with his work in Linghe.
Maybe it was also because when he joined the company, there were very few people in the company, and he had to be on his own as soon as he came up. He didn't have time to go through the various stages of a novice. He had to make it even if he couldn't. Actual combat accelerated his growth process.
Chen Qin himself is a person with a relatively gentle, cheerful and less enterprising personality.
He's been like this since high school.
But it seems that precisely because of his personality, he is quite comfortable in a job that does not require him to take the initiative to run business. And he is not the kind of person who sees people with high eyes and a high nose, so he can make each partner feel very comfortable when dealing with them. He will not look down on others just because the other party may be a small project worth tens of thousands, nor will he not take it seriously just because the other party is a small company or platform.
Xu Tianming put him in this job precisely because of his character.
-
In the second week of its release, the film schedule of "Love Letter" was cut in half due to the arrival of two blockbuster films.
Of course, even if the film schedule is not cut in half, the number of viewers is bound to be greatly reduced.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige are still working hard on roadshows across the country.
One is to increase the film schedule for the hospital, and the other is to continue to contribute new promotional materials to the publicity and distribution team to keep the popularity of the movie and not disappear from everyone's sight so quickly.
Once no one stops talking about "Love Letter", there may be almost no viewers who take the initiative to go to the cinema to watch it.
Thanks to the efforts of all parties, the box office of "Love Letter" in the second week remained at 360 million, and the total box office reached around 1.2 billion.
However, after two weeks of release, the main box office potential of "Love Letter" has been squeezed out. According to the predictions of the data model, the box office can only get another 200 to 300 million at most, and the box office will be over.
It can be said that "Love Letter" is the film with the highest return among Chinese-language films in the past five years.
The production cost is more than 10 million——
Although this number is very abnormal, neither Lu Yanhe nor Chen Bige were paid according to the market price. They were all paid dividends. Most of the more than 10 million was spent on production.
The publicity and marketing expenses are as high as 72 million——
Whether it's "How are you?" "I'm OK" program and its subsequent promotion include short video platform streaming and offline deployment in major regions, plus advertising fees from major media, as well as the labor fees of the main creators and the funds of the road show team after a road show. . "Love Letter" performed a classic textbook performance of dynamically increasing publicity funds.
The total cost is less than 100 million, plus distribution fees, and in the end, it is possible to get a box office of 1.4-1.5 billion, not counting other income such as video platforms, overseas copyright income, etc.
In the words of one financial institution, "Love Letters" was a huge profit.
The original production funds for this movie were basically saved by Lu Yanhe himself and those around him.
Everyone is making money.
Lu Yanhe had great doubts about himself at this moment.
Because he sincerely believes that the box office of this movie is only 300 million at most.
"..."
Film is also a marketing science.
He realized this deeply from this case.
As long as you can make the audience want to see your movie, they will still want to see it no matter how small the cost is.
And the audience doesn't want to see your movie, even if you cast the four kings to star in it and invested hundreds of millions, you still won't be welcomed.
-
But Lu Yanhe couldn't stop at this time.
Because "Love Letter" will be released overseas soon.
After Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige finished their domestic promotion schedule, the entire crew was invited by overseas distributors to start promotions in six countries: South Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, France, the United States and Australia.
It was obvious that they had found different distributors in different countries, but they ended up agreeing on a similar release date.
Under coordination, Lu Yanhe only traveled to these few places.
At the end of August, the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" started.
Although he has few roles, he can't join the cast too late.
After traveling to these places, if there are other overseas promotion trips after "Love Letter", it will only be led by Chen Bige.
This is the first time Lu Yanhe has participated in overseas promotion on such a large scale.
"The Mist" can be counted, but at that time Lu Yanhe only went to a few places, not continuously. After all, before the movie was released, Lu Yanhe was not the protagonist of the movie. His popularity around the world was opened after the movie was released.
Regarding the overseas box office performance of "Love Letter", Lu Yanhe is still looking forward to it. After all, it won an award at the Jose Film Festival, which makes it not an ordinary Chinese-language film. In addition, the protagonists of this movie, Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige, can be said to be one of the strongest lineups in Chinese-language films.
On the day when their entire crew arrived in South Korea, as soon as they got off the plane, the security team arranged by Darren Wilson for him directly connected with Lu Yanhe's team.
Lu Yanhe did not trust the docking service on the Korean side.
This is the benefit of signing an international agency, and all aspects of the service are in place. Of course, this requires Lu Yanhe to sign a check to pay for it. In fact, for these services, Lu Yanhe is very willing to sign a check to pay for it. After all, it involves his own safety issues, and the key is to be reliable.
And after Lu Yanhe arrived in South Korea, there were still many people who wanted to come to do reception. From TVN executives to Jong Ben-seok's faction in Korea, not to mention the distributors in Korea itself.
Lu Yanhe did not accept any of them, and only agreed to have a simple meal with the main creative staff of the crew and a Korean director he liked very much.
In fact, the promotion in Korea was relatively smooth.
When Lu Yanhe was interviewed by a TV station in the UK, the host was quite troublesome and asked about the Golden Tripod Award, wanting Lu Yanhe to talk about his views on the current situation of Chinese film and television awards during the live broadcast.
Lu Yanhe almost got angry.
I have never encountered such a situation when I came to the UK before.
Putting aside these small episodes, the whole promotion trip was relatively smooth.
When the overseas markets opened one by one and achieved good box office results, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
With the award from the Jose-Latin Film Festival and Lu Yanhe, a star actor who became famous worldwide with "The Mist" in the first half of the year, the box office of "Love Letter" in the major markets where it has just been promoted has exceeded six figures in the first weekend, and the total box office is expected to exceed seven figures, except for the United States where it has not yet been released.
This is a very good result for a foreign language film like "Love Letter".
Especially in South Korea, "Love Letter" has become a hot topic on their website. Many Korean stars have watched this movie and recommended it on social media.
Xu Tianming said that TVN wants to buy the Korean drama adaptation rights of "Love Letter" again.
Lu Yanhe said, let them bring the adapted version of "Rouge Button" over to see how it is adapted.
If it is well adapted, continue to authorize it. If it is not well adapted, he does not want them to ruin the story of "Love Letter".
Lu Yanhe's last stop for overseas promotion is the United States, and the premiere is still scheduled in Los Angeles.
Here, Midoriya gave "Love Letter" a grand premiere.
Lu Yanhe only found out when he got here that Midoriya had invited more than 20 media outlets, and also invited Arne Bogut and Lily Williams, who had worked with him on "The Mist", to stand on the stage. Not only that, at the premiere, Derrien Dylan, who had just filmed "Hurricane 2" with Lu Yanhe, recorded a VCR for him.
Midoriya was going to release "Love Letter" in 800 theaters first. If the performance was good, the theater range would be expanded. If the performance was average, it would not cause too much loss.
This is a very powerful number of theaters.
Lu Yanhe felt the sincerity from Midoriya.
He felt that it was probably because the previous "Road to Glory" performed beyond their expectations during the North American awards season, which fed back to the box office, so that the movie, which was not very good in terms of plot, also received a box office of millions of dollars in North America, which made them look forward to "Love Letter".
Although Midoriya's high hopes for "Love Letter" were still on the income of family entertainment.
When Lu Yanhe finished his promotional tour and returned to China, Yuming had already fallen at night when he landed.
He received news from Lugu that on the first day of the release of "Love Letter", 800 theaters earned a box office of 764,000 US dollars, an average of about 1,000 per theater, which was not too good but not bad.
Especially for Lugu, the cost of obtaining the North American distribution rights of "Love Letter" was 6 million US dollars.
This opening result made it possible for "Love Letter" to achieve a box office of more than 5 million in North America, which was a pleasant surprise.
But as Lu Yanhe said, "Love Letter" did not have a very good reputation among North American media and film critics.
The most unexpected criticism for Lu Yanhe was that they felt that Lu Yanhe wrote, directed and acted in this work, but only let him play such a simple role in it, which was very disappointing.
Schmidt Laurie of Lugu said: "The media and film critics in North America have high expectations of you, so they are not satisfied."
Lu Yanhe was not surprised.
The things in "Love Letter" that involve life and death, philosophy and oriental cultural background are probably difficult for people in Europe and the United States to truly experience the emotions in it.
However, no matter what, the release of "Love Letter" can be directly described as "a great success".
In Hollywood, although the box office of "Love Letter" in North America is not very good, for people in Hollywood, the box office of these foreign language films is generally not measured by their own calculation rules.
"Variety" magazine bluntly stated that "Love Letter", which Lu Yanhe wrote and directed for the first time, was a great success worldwide. The movie, which was shot with only a few million dollars, has exceeded 200 million US dollars at the global box office, and it is very likely to exceed 300 million US dollars, etc.
This magazine's preference for Lu Yanhe is still obvious enough.
In Hollywood, box office success is always the king.
You can see many people criticizing a big production that failed at the box office, but you can hardly see large-scale criticism of a box office success.
Even Oscar.
This is different from China. In China, there is a kind of contempt for money that the higher the box office, the lower the artistic quality.
Under the report of "Variety", Lu Yanhe did not have a "failure at the box office" at all. On the contrary, he was once again a great success.
-
"Now several domestic film and television companies are asking if we have plans to produce a TV series. If not, they want to buy the TV series production rights of "Love Letter" and develop a TV series."
Xu Tianming told Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe: "The movie has just come out, isn't it too soon to talk about producing a TV series now?"
Xu Tianming: "They are not going to start production right away, they just want to grab the production rights as soon as possible. From writing the script to casting, to shooting and post-production, it will take at least one or two years."
"Have both Aurora Borealis and Icefield come to negotiate?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Xu Tianming nodded and said, "They are the two most active ones, including Yuehu TV, but Yuehu TV's offer is not of the same order of magnitude as Aurora Borealis and Icefield. I suggest not considering Yuehu TV for the time being."
"The story of "Love Letter" is not suitable for TV broadcasts if it is adapted into a TV series. It is normal for them to offer a low price. Coming to fight for it is just to express an attitude." Lu Yanhe said, "Have Maxine and HP asked about it?"
"They are more interested in remaking movies in other languages." Xu Tianming said, "Especially Maxine. Zhong Benshuo is very active in remaking "Love Letter" into a Korean version."
Lu Yanhe: "The movie version will not be considered for authorized remake within three years."
Although Xu Tianming was a little surprised, he nodded immediately.
"But can I ask why?" Xu Tianming asked.
Lu Yanhe said, "I hope this movie is unique in everyone's heart, and it takes time to settle."
Xu Tianming nodded.
"Light Chaser Animation wants to make an animated version of "Wulin Wai Zhuan". What do you think about it?" he asked again.
Lu Yanhe said: "I am actually willing to make an animated version, but I have watched the animation works made by Light Chaser Animation before. To be honest, I am not very satisfied. It has only made fighting works before. Can it do this kind of daily comedy? The style is too different."
Xu Tianming said: "But Light Chaser Animation is already the top animation production company in China."
Lu Yanhe: "The show has not been broadcast yet. By the way, the second season of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" will be broadcast soon, right?"
"Yes." Xu Tianming nodded.
Lu Yanhe: "Well, ask them if they can make a few drafts for us first. I want to see what style they are going to make. In addition, what are their plans for this animation? How do they want to adapt it? The four words "Wulin Wai Zhuan" are very important in the hearts of the audience. I don't want them to treat "Wulin Wai Zhuan" as a fast-moving consumer product with a big IP, just to make a quick buck."
Xu Tianming said: "They are still very sincere. They actually reported a production plan to me before. They hope to make a side story based on "Wulin Wai Zhuan" to tell the story before these main characters came to Tongfu Inn. Of course, they will still maintain the style of Jianghu comedy."
Lu Yanhe said: "How about we make an appointment with them? I want to hear their ideas in person."
Xu Tianming said: "Okay, I'll make an appointment with them."
-
Lu Yanhe originally wanted to rest for two days before joining the crew.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has already started filming, and his joining the crew a few days later will not affect the filming progress-
Anyway, he doesn't have that many scenes.
Moreover, the crew still had a few days to arrange for him to join the crew. He could rest legitimately.
However, Yan Liang and Li Zhibai were both in the crew, and Chen Siqi also took people on a business trip to Malaysia to discuss the publishing plan of "Jump Up" there.
Lu Yanhe thought about it, then packed up his things and went to the crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
It was boring to stay alone.
Unexpectedly, he had just arrived at the crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and had not yet walked into the hotel door when a call suddenly came on his mobile phone.
The name "Huang Lian" was displayed on it.
Lu Yanhe didn't even remember when he saved Huang Lian's number.
It seemed that they had never contacted each other.
Although I don't know why he called at this time, but——
Lu Yanhe directly rejected the call and blocked the call immediately.
He told Chen Ziyan about this.
After Chen Ziyan learned about Lu Yanhe's reaction, she laughed and said, "You are right not to answer the call. His ability to create separate awards shows that this person has exceeded the bottom line. Who knows what kind of trap he would be in calling you."
Lu Yanhe: "I didn't think about it that much. I just felt that I had nothing to do with him. I didn't deal with Beijing and Taiwan in the past. At that time, I was not strong enough, had no backing, and no background. I could only endure it for the first time. Now I am not afraid." What can he do to me? Put up with him."
Chen Ziyan: "I guess Huang Lian will contact you through some people in the future. The Golden Tripod Award and his public opinion situation are not very good now. "Love Letter" has occupied the top of the global movie box office for two consecutive weeks, and now it is in several overseas places It was released and performed very well at the box office. As far as I know, the General Administration was very surprised by "Love Letter" Your global performance. They will not let you be affected by things like the Golden Tripod Award. Let me tell you, when you were interviewed by the BBC in the UK, they mentioned the Golden Tripod Award, which still made some people in China feel a little wary. If this incident really becomes a scandal spread by the international media, many people will be affected.”
Lu Yanhe: "So what you're saying is that the higher-ups put pressure on Huang Lian, and Huang Lian couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to sue for peace with me?"
"It is possible." Chen Ziyan said, "On the other hand, don't forget that you have a different status in the entertainment industry and in the hearts of many people. You represent something. How can everyone be willing to watch it? Until you were treated like Huang Lian because of the Blue Ribbon Award. What kind of revenge? If you can be manipulated by Huang Lian so easily if you have achieved such results, other people will feel ashamed. Therefore, even in this industry, there are many people who use it without us knowing it. Their strength is supporting you.”
Lu Yanhe nodded, he understood.
"No matter what, keep working hard." Chen Ziyan said with a smile, "Your "Love Letter" has achieved such good results. Not only does it win awards, it also means that Chinese-language films are being released on a large scale in so many places around the world. This is you The greatest confidence is not to answer Huang Lian’s call.”
Lu Yanhe said: "Then, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" will be a real commercial film. Although it is completely different in style from "Love Letter", it must be a similar theme in the eyes of many people. If "Love Letter" is "Those Years" did not catch up with "Love Letter" at the box office, will it be criticized?"
"This is actually something I want to discuss with you." Chen Ziyan said, "Do you want to continue starring in "Those Years"?"
The script for "Those Years" was originally written, just like "Love Letters", because I needed a script that could be shot immediately. At that time, "Love Letter" was chosen, so "Those Years" was shelved. At that time, Lu Yanhe had planned to star in the movie himself, but now it seems that "Those Years" is not a necessary option for him.
Lu Yanhe said: "To be honest, I tend to want to act."
He loves this movie.
The male protagonist in "Those Years" is a completely different type from the character Aoi in "Love Letter".
This is also a type that Lu Yanhe has never played before.
Moreover, he really wanted to play a character completely different from himself.
Lu Yanhe feels that the best thing about Ke Jingteng is that he is a real high school student on the big screen. Including "Love Letter", among all the male protagonists in youth-themed movies, there is no such thing as Ke Jingteng. He seems to have captured a boy from some high school and made a documentary to present a realistic situation. Noisy, immature, simple and direct in love, and straight to the end, but he is definitely the most lovable person in the class (or the most disliked by girls because he is always teasing others).
If Shen Jiayi is Bai Yueguang, Ke Jingteng is the ordinary boy who looks up to the moonlight in every Bai Yueguang story. But fortunately, this movie is not the kind of youthful love story that chases after a goddess like a dog.
"If you want to act, then go ahead." Chen Ziyan smiled, "I originally wanted to say, why don't you stop acting and find someone else to play it. I feel that the role of Ke Jingteng can only be played by a man with qualified acting skills. Actors can handle it all.”
"Yeah, but it's quite difficult to act into a classic. You have to completely let go of the star halo and there can't be any trace of acting." Lu Yanhe said, "Either find a pure newcomer who has never acted before, or just me. Come and act.”
"You are very obsessed with this role." Chen Ziyan smiled, "Then do you have any ideas about the role of Shen Jiayi?"
"Shen Jiayi?" Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Not yet."
"Do you know why I suggest you not to act?" Chen Ziyan said, "In the end, this story is about a boy who likes a girl and has been pursuing her for a long time. Although he doesn't lick the dog, it's a girl that you, Lu Yanhe, keep pursuing. Who are you looking for? Act, the audience can Accept it? This involves the issue of whether to be in the drama or not. You two are so good at acting. The audience always has preconceptions. Unless you ask Chen Siqi to act, then everyone is OK and can accept it. But your ending is The heroine is married to someone else.”
"..." Lu Yanhe felt as if he had been given a slap in the face.
He realized that what Chen Ziyan said was actually right.
One cannot talk about dreams without considering realistic conditions.
Another very important reason for the popularity of "Those Years" is that when the movie was released, the male and female protagonists were basically newcomers that "no one knew". This is the time when an actor has the strongest sense of being recognized by the audience.
A blank sheet of paper without any "prejudices".
If Lu Yanhe plays Ke Jingteng now, who will play Shen Jiayi?
Among the actresses of the same age as Lu Yanhe, who can play a girl who has been liked and pursued by Lu Yanhe for so many years and still be recognized by the audience?
I looked around and found no such person.
Maybe after Yan Lingyu's "Legend of Sword and Fairy", if her Ling'er can reach the height of the original work, she may be able to.
But Lu Yanhe can't keep suppressing "Those Years" and wait until "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starts airing.
Moreover, after playing Ling'er, Yan Lingyu may have reached a height in the hearts of the audience where Lu Yanhe has been liked for so many years. However, Yan Lingyu's image and temperament can play Ling'er, but he cannot play Shen Jiayi.
Shen Jiayi is a pure and good-student girl. She likes Ke Jingteng and has an appearance that can surprise the audience but will not question her.
Think about it, if you were like the fairy sister, do you think she also likes boys like Ke Jingteng?
At a certain moment, I actually felt awkward.
She doesn't have the familiarity of a classmate with the appearance of a fairy sister.
It just so happened that Yan Lingyu had this style.
She is cold and beautiful. With some training, she can play the role of Ling'er, who is innocent and cute, but she cannot convince you that she can be a classmate in your class.
Lu Yanhe has always felt that the basis for the success of any youth love movie is not how good the story is, but the casting.
Whether the male and female protagonists can convince the audience and allow the audience to immerse themselves in them is very important.
It's really a pity that actress Shen Jiayi. She was originally the best successor to Ariel Ariel as an actress. Although she may not be able to reach the top, she has their unique audience popularity.
If you go too far, pull it back.
Melancholy.
Lu Yanhe has rationally realized that he may not be suitable for filming "Those Years".
-
So, when Li Zhibai and Yan Liang saw Lu Yanhe, they happened to encounter a state of depression and regret in which Lu Yanhe couldn't let go of "Those Years".
"What's wrong with you?" Li Zhibai threw him a bottle of yogurt, which was still iced.
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I don't want to say it."
Li Zhibai: "You can say it."
"What's the problem? Speak up and see if we can help." Yan Liang said.
"No, it's just a script I wrote before. I originally wanted to act it myself, but now I suddenly realized that I might not be able to act it." Lu Yanhe sighed.
"Which script?" Li Zhibai asked.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang basically read the script written by Lu Yanhe for the first time.
"Those Years."
"You can't act? Then you can act for me." Li Zhibai said immediately.
"You just acted in "Fake Death" and you're acting in a love-themed movie again?"
""Fake Death" is set in an urban setting, which is different from "Those Years"." Li Zhibai said, "Originally, I didn't say anything if you wanted to act. But since you don't want to act, I want to act."
"You..." Lu Yanhe originally wanted to say that you are not suitable.
But after the image of Li Zhibai overlapped with Ke Jingteng, Lu Yanhe could not say the word "inappropriate".
Li Zhibai pointed at Yan Liang and said, "You wouldn't say that he is more suitable than me, right? He is too unsuitable."
Neither Lu Yanhe nor Yan Liang could deny this.
Yan Liang's image is too upright, and it would be inappropriate for him to play a boy like Ke Jingteng in every aspect.
Regarding "Those Years", Lu Yanhe will not talk about it for the time being.
Although Li Zhibai wanted to act, Lu Yanhe still wanted to struggle.
Maybe an actress can emerge who can star with him.
Anyway, I won’t be able to turn it on anytime soon.
In the evening, they had dinner together, and Yan Liang said, "You have just arrived, and I have to leave for a few days."
"Huh? Where are you going?"
""Liu Guang Yin" is about to premiere. In two days, I have to go to coordinate with the drama promotion. I will be away for five days." Yan Liang said, "We had already coordinated it before joining the team. Fortunately, your drama There are many roles, so it’s relatively easy to coordinate the filming dates for each of us.”
Lu Yanhe: "'Liu Guang Yin' is about to premiere? The God of War is about to appear."
"Don't be rude to me. I'm really nervous right now. I don't know if the audience will buy it." Yan Liang sighed, "The scenes between you and Li Zhibai were all blown up. It made me so stressed. Everyone else was there." Stare at me."
Lu Yanhe: "Okay, your show is not airborne. Look at your promotion. It started at the end of June and has been working for more than a month. The results are definitely not bad. And why are you nervous? This show Zhang Lan is the one who carries the drama.”
Yan Liang: "When it comes to grades, who cares whether you are the first or second grade? You are the leading actor, and poor grades only mean that you cannot handle the drama."
"No." Li Zhibai said, "Don't even think about it. The three of us all think your character is good in this drama, and you work so hard and seriously. At most, the audience won't like it that much." , but certainly not that I don’t like it.”
Yan Liang let out a long sigh.
"Anxiety. I used to be anxious when I wasn't popular. I thought about when I would become popular every day. Now I am anxious too. I don't know when one day my results will not be as good as before and I will go downhill."
"Don't worry, no matter whether you are going uphill or downhill, we will be with you." Li Zhibai patted Yan Liang on the shoulder, "Stop forcing me to do so, drink!"
