Come to Los Angeles

Taking advantage of "Old Friends" has not yet entered the formal rehearsal stage, Lu Yanhe went to the United States.

Together with Chen Ziyan, he was intended to see the movie "Destruction Day" and prepare to see the producer and director of the movie.

However, he learned that he was coming to the United States. Lu Yanhe's agent in the United States Darren Wilson communicated with him and wanted to invite him to attend a charity dinner event.

This event is a part of the North American awards season.

There are every year.

Daron Wilson has a customer. This this year, he hopes to get the nomination of the best supporting actor in Oscar this year.

"You don't need you to get a ticket, you just need to support this movie. Please watch this movie." Darren Wilson said, "Edward's performance in this movie is very good. Some Asian college members will be influenced by you and watch this movie.

Look, there is any absolute fairness.

Public relations are everywhere.

Oscar's awards season, it sings Yangmou.

Lu Yanhe said: "I have to look at what this movie is first. Darren, I can help, but I can't open my eyes to talk nonsense. At least I have to watch this movie first."

Darren Wilson asked: "I asked him to arrange a private screening, how about it?"

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

"Do you hold a screening for me alone?"

"Yes, because this movie will not be officially released until the end of the year. Now you can't see this movie in the cinema."

"If you can get your support, he is very willing if he can get your support."

Lu Yanhe thought about it and said, "Okay."

"By the way, Darren, I came to the United States this time, mainly to see Director Lu's Director. Regarding him, what do you think need to remind me in advance?"

"He is a weird guy." Darren Wilson immediately said, "Are you coming to see him, is he going to talk about his movie project?" Destruction Day "? I heard that the movie had found you in China from the Chinese’s Another actor.

"Yes." Lu Yanhe said, "But I don't want to play, I want to help another person fight."

"Who?" Darren Wilson said, "This movie is a more important project in Parameter. The investment is not small. For the protagonist candidate, it is not easy to change."

"I know, but the actor I want to recommend is not bad in all aspects."

"who?"

"Jiang Jun, the actor of" Squid Game "." Lu Yanhe said.

Darren Wilson immediately reacted.

"Oh, it is him." He said, "If it was him, maybe there is a turnaround, but is he willing to come to the United States to shoot? How can I hear he doesn't want to leave China and come to the United States to shoot?"

"This news must be fake, he is willing."

"It may be that someone here deliberately spreads such rumors." Daron Wilson said, "After all, a" Squid Game "made him the first choice for many Asian characters after being recognized by the world. The opportunities of descent actors have been snatched, they must not be willing. "

Lu Yanhe said, "Maybe I have been made such rumors?"

"Of course." Darren Wilson said, "Your most wise decision is to find a agent like me who is very familiar with the situation of Hollywood, so when others spread such rumors, I rejected this rumor as soon as possible. Truth, and the starring of "Hurricane 2" to shatter such a rumor. "

Lu Yanhe laughed.

"Okay, then I have to thank you seriously."

"I hope you understand that you hire me, you will definitely be a wise decision." Darren Wilson said, "Oh, yes, just this time you came here, I also received two good scripts, inside There are characters that are more suitable for you "" "

Lu Yanhe said: "Darren, you know, my schedule next year is basically full, and there is no time to pick up other plays."

Darren Wilson said: "Maybe you don't have time to play them, but first through these scripts, see the directors, producers, and screenwriters who are interested in you. If you know it in person, it is always good for you."

Lu Yanhe felt that Darren Wilson said quite reasonablely.

This is indeed like this.

A drama cooperation cannot be achieved, of course, there are subsequent projects.

The point is to let everyone know you, see you, when preparing for a new play, you can think of you.

Especially a Chinese actor who is not in Hollywood like Lu Yanhe's usual activity is not in Hollywood.

-

After Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan came to Los Angeles together, from the beginning of the ground, everything he was here provided various services by Darren Wilson.

This is the condition that Lu Yanhe signed a contract with Williams.

Of course, this includes very basic services. If you want a more advanced service, you need to add money.

It happened that Hua Ruzhen was also staying in Los Angeles. Therefore, when he learned that Lu Yanhe was coming, Hua Ruzhen was going to hold a party for several days in advance.

She invited some Asians in the Los Angeles Performing Arts Circle.

For Lu Yanhe, a small number of Asians in Hollywood regard him as a competitor for the cake, but a larger number of people like him and respect him. Putting aside his identity as a creator, his performance in "The Mist" made major film companies realize that the Asian market can contribute to outstanding box office results.

Therefore, after "The Mist", the number of Asian characters in the script has increased significantly. For Asian actors in Hollywood, it means an increase in performance opportunities, and for other Asian creators, it also gives them a reason to create movies for the Asian market and convince those film company executives.

Lu Yanhe's existence has promoted the attention of the entire international film and television market to Asian themes.

The popularity of several dramas such as "Friends", "Squid Game" and "The Seventeenth Floor" on streaming media, and the global box office explosion of "The Mist" have all promoted this.

Lu Yanhe has become the most representative Asian creator in Hollywood in the past two years.

Hua Ruzhen organized such a party, firstly to consolidate his position in this circle-after all, Lu Yanhe does not often appear in Los Angeles, and not everyone can invite him to his party. Second, it was to show Lu Yanhe her network of contacts in Hollywood.

Lu Yanhe is a very promising creator, there is no doubt about that, but he has no roots in Los Angeles. No matter how talented a person is, he will eventually be unable to support himself in an unfamiliar environment. Therefore, whether emotionally or utilitarian, Hua Ruzhen must show Lu Yanhe her "role" and "value".

Lu Yanhe is also very willing to attend such a party when he is free.

Everyone is very busy. If you have to get to know so many people one by one, how can you have so much time? Such an opportunity to meet so many people is very great.

Many of them are curious about the reason why Lu Yanhe came to Los Angeles this time.

Mainly, they want to know whether Lu Yanhe is going to cooperate with Hollywood on another project.

Lu Yanhe's road in Hollywood is unusually smooth.

"The Mist" was a big hit, and the sequel signed a "high price" salary. He also participated in the masterpiece "Hurricane 2" with an incredible "guest salary".

Many actors who have been working in Hollywood for more than ten years cannot get resources like Lu Yanhe.

For those present, the resources and projects that Lu Yanhe has access to are all hot cakes, and they all want to get a piece of the pie.

Lu Yanhe couldn't tell the world why he came at this time, so he found an excuse and said that Darren Wilson invited him to come and support Edward Hodgson's Oscar journey this year.

This is true in itself.

Lu Yanhe is actually an outsider to the Oscars.

Everyone was surprised when they heard about it.

Darren Wilson is a very famous agent.

He will not make a stupid move.

Even if he is not a professional award public relations manager, since he invited Lu Yanhe to come, it means that he must have his influence and role in the award season.

As a result, many people discussed and speculated that the reason why Darren Wilson invited Lu Yanhe to support Edward Hodgson was because of Lu Yanhe's legendary close relationship with the media and film critics.

"In fact, Lu Yanhe's "Love Letter" this year is also a good movie."

"Of course, it's just a pity that this movie is not the style that Europeans and Americans like. It is still more popular with Asians."

"It was released in Japan and won more than 20 million US dollars at the box office, setting a box office record for Chinese-language movies in Japan in the past decade."

"Yes, but it only had a box office of more than 8 million US dollars in the United States. Although it is also high, it is still far behind the influence of this movie in Asia."

"The box office performance of "Love Letter" in Europe and the United States is actually very good. Not counting the box office results in Asia, the box office in other parts of the world has reached more than 30 million US dollars. Even many popular works in this year's award season did not get such a high box office."

"After all, it is Lu Yanhe's first self-directed, self-written and self-acted movie, and it also won a grand prize at the Jose-La Roche Film Festival."

"I'm really envious." Someone said, "I must admit that Lu Yanhe has been too lucky in recent years. The work failed. "

"The general trend is on him. The longer this momentum lasts, the harder it will be to break. Every work of his, no matter what, will be highly anticipated and will receive the greatest attention and publicity."

"It's true. Look, "Love Letter" was released in the United States. Many Hollywood celebrities recommended this movie on social media. If it weren't for Lu Yanhe, there would be no such a scene."

"I heard that another Chinese-language movie starring Lu Yanhe, a fantasy film, is said to have been bought by a first-line Hollywood film company for distribution rights in North America. It will be screened on a large scale in theaters at that time."

"Is it the "Burning Fire"?

"You actually know it?"

"The special effects of this movie were made by a company run by a friend of mine."

"Really? How is the movie?"

"The whole production is very sophisticated and excellent."

"Chinese movies are now rich and have no shortage of production costs. The special effects can be compared with those Hollywood blockbusters."

"They really have no shortage of money."

-

Lu Yanhe drank with everyone at the party, exchanged pleasantries, chatted a lot, left many people's contact information, and agreed to work together if there was a chance in the future, and so on.

At about 11:30 pm, Lu Yanhe felt that it was almost time and was ready to go back to say hello to Hua Ruzhen.

Hua Ruzhen nodded and personally escorted Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan to the door.

At this time, a group of young handsome men and beautiful women came in one after another.

"Oh! You are here!" Hua Ruzhen hugged the leading man in a suit and leather shoes, "Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Yanhe looked at these young people in surprise. They all looked... charming.

After coming out, Lu Yanhe asked Chen Ziyan.

"Were those people just now what I imagined?"

"Yeah." Chen Ziyan nodded, "In Hollywood, many parties are like this. In the first half, everyone gets to know each other and makes friends. In the second half, those who are not interested in participating leave first, and those who are interested can release themselves very safely at this time."

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

"It's similar in China," Chen Ziyan said, "but it's done more covertly, and you basically can't get in touch with it."

"Why can't I basically get in touch with it?"

"You're kidding, you rarely even attend such gatherings, how can you get in touch with it? Besides, everyone basically knows what's going on between you and Chen Siqi, and everyone is playing it safe with you now, and won't take the risk of making you unhappy."

"So that's how it is." Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

"Actually, speaking of this, Star Entertainment has done a good job in this regard."

"Huh?"

"They never pimp. Obviously, this kind of agency with idol artists and many trainees is the most suitable for this kind of thing." Chen Ziyan said, "Those people just now are basically children who want to be stars and have star dreams. They come here to get to know these people who already have certain power and connections in Hollywood, and maybe they can get an opportunity."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded, "It seems that I have to leave early in the future. If someone sees this situation, it seems as if I am still involved in it."

"Don't worry, this kind of thing is very confidential and very safe." Chen Ziyan said, "It is almost an open secret in the industry, but no one will expose this secret. This kind of thing has lasted for dozens or hundreds of years. Have you seen any media reports?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head.

"So, you know." Chen Ziyan shrugged, "I just didn't expect that Hua Ruzhen would arrange these things. I thought she wouldn't come." (End of this chapter)
