Chapter 662 Buying Time

Darren Wilson had prepared a speech for Lu Yanhe to use in the telephone interview with reporters they arranged later, but Lu Yanhe directly refused.

"Darren, it is completely different for me to say some of my true feelings and to say the words in the manuscript you gave me." Lu Yanhe said, "I will never do the latter."

Darren Wilson had no choice but to nod and said with a smile: "You have the final say."

For this kind of telephone interview, especially the telephone interview where both parties know what will be said, Lu Yanhe has always been a little resistant because he doesn't want to show off.

However, because he has already promised others, no matter what he thinks in his heart, Lu Yanhe still praises the movie and Edward Hodgson's performance according to his own feelings about the movie.

At that time, how they will promote this passage and spread it to the ears of the target group is their business.

Darren Wilson picked up Lu Yanhe and went to dinner together.

He arranged the dinner. In addition to Edward Hodgson, he also invited Hua Ruzhen and another client of his, a Chinese-American actor born and raised in the United States, Wang Jiaqi.

Wang Jiaqi's makeup is completely European and American style.

Lu Yanhe doesn't appreciate this kind of dress, but this is everyone's aesthetic.

Lu Yanhe won't say much.

Wang Jiaqi has a drama starring her, which is broadcast on AMN TV and has been filmed to the third season.

A drama can be made to the third season, which means that there is at least a certain audience.

Darren Wilson's dinner arrangement is clear at a glance-

Wang Jiaqi curiously asked Chen Ziyan about the current situation in China.

Chen Ziyan asked: "Have you been to China?"

Wang Jiaqi shook her head and said: "No, I only heard from my grandparents that they are from Jinkou."

Chen Ziyan: "Oh? That's very close to Yuming."

Darren Wilson said: "Among the Chinese people who grew up in the United States, her Chinese is very good."

Wang Jiaqi smiled and fiddled with her hair lazily, "I can only speak, not write, and I don't know many Chinese characters. The main reason is that my grandparents can only speak Chinese."

Several people talked and laughed.

Each of them started chatting.

Edward Hodgson whispered to Lu Yanhe: "Lu, do you have any film and television projects in Hollywood next?"

"We are discussing it." Lu Yanhe said, "Next year, we will shoot the sequel to "The Mist", but it may not be filmed in the United States."

Edward Hodgson: "Will the sequel to "The Mist" start shooting next year? Many friends around me are looking forward to this movie. If they know the news, they will definitely be very excited."

Lu Yanhe: "That should be the case, that's the news I received."

Many actors actually have a common problem, that is, a "tone" that is rarely seen in ordinary people.

This tone does not mean that they think they are superior to others and have an aristocratic tone. It is a "stage tone". Whether speaking or moving, it seems that there is a camera shooting next to them at any time. You can clearly feel a "dramatic sense" that has been carved on the stage.

For example, Edward Hodgson has a habit of speaking. He often nods slightly at the end of his sentence.

In performance, this is an auxiliary action to emphasize the expression of emotions or tone, but Edward Hodgson seems to use it to express his importance to the person who is talking in front of him, so that the other person has a feeling of "being focused and affirmed".

Lu Yanhe was somewhat surprised.

He was surprised that he was now sensitive to these things.

It was just that such sensitivity more or less affected his communication with people now.

After all, everyone has some performance elements. Only when a person is alone will he really have no performance elements at all.

Edward Hodgson said: "I heard from Darren that you are also a screenwriter. The "Love Letter" that won an award at the Jose-La-Señora Film Festival this year is the work you wrote."

"Yes." Lu Yanhe asked, "Have you seen "Love Letter"? "

Edward Hodgson shook his head and said: "I have been busy with the release and promotion of "Office Storm" and didn't go to the cinema."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"I'll go see it later." Edward Hodgson said, "Darren told me that this is a love movie with a lot of oriental philosophy."

Lu Yanhe: "It doesn't matter if you don't see it."

He smiled and waved his hand.

Edward Hodgson said, "But, doesn't Love Letter plan to make a difference in the awards season this year? It has earned more than 8 million in the US box office, which is the best among foreign language films, especially Asian films. It also won two trophies at the Jose-La Mancha Film Festival. Darren said that if it is well managed and publicized, Love Letter has a chance."

"Then I need to invest a lot of time and energy to do this." Lu Yanhe said, "And, may not be able to gain something, how many movies are claimed to be sprinting the award season every year, not every good movie, not every good movie. It is suitable for your American awards season. It is better to get a high evaluation in the US awards season. "

Of course, good movies and rotten movies are easy to distinguish.

But between good movies and good movies, more of them are aesthetic and preferences.

Taking the national teacher as an example, the "High Red Lantern Hanging" and "Three Shooting Cases" are good at a glance, but what about "High Red Lantern Hanging" and "Chrysanthemum"?

These two styles are more similar.

Change another, "High Red Lantern Hanging" and "Return"? The same director, the same heroine, aside the honor they won in the background of their respective eras. From the perspective of an audience, it can be clearly measured. Which movie is better?

Not to mention, different directors, different styles, and good movies.

Lu Yanhe's words made Edward Hodgson think about it.

Edward Hodgson's eyes looked at Lu Yanhe's eyes immediately.

-

At the end of dinner, when each left, Edward Hodchson and Darren Wilson walked behind, whispered, "Lu Yanhe does not seem to agree with Oscar."

Darren Wilson glanced at him and whispered: "He is not developing in Hollywood. He does not use Oscar as the highest honor like us. I don’t have to see Oscar very much, I think Oscar is a highly commercialized burger bag, who do not know these things. "

Edward Hodgson: "But did he also impact the awards season before? I first met him for the first time because of the movie" The Road to Glory "."

"Is that the impact?" Darren Wilson said, "That's the promotion of the Green Valley for the release of the United States of Glory, and took the initiative to put it in publicity for him. , I didn’t go to the public relations like a real competitor here. "

Edward Hodgson: "I think he attaches great importance to this."

"You can't say that you don't pay attention to it. If you don't pay attention to him, he will not come here to develop. He will not sign the agent of overseas brokerage to Williams, nor will he come to make" Mist "and" Hurricane 2 "." Daron Wilson said, "But that's not the same. If he really values ​​the Hollywood market, he really pays more attention to this. After" Mist ", he should put his focus over."

Edward Hodgson asked, "Then why do you still recommend him in a movie like Hurricane 2?"

"Edward, he is not here to grab resources with you, but the resources he owns can give you great support, just like this time." Darren Wilson said, "You can count it, in Hollywood, in Hollywood, in Hollywood, in Hollywood, How many people who do not focus on Hollywood developed in Hollywood, but are there a few people who are respected and held in Hollywood? I worry about it, I don't know when he may be snatched. "

Edward Hodgson was surprised.

In fact, Darren Wilson can be said to be a responsible agent who is relatively responsible for his customers.

The customers he brought basically did not have competitive relationships with each other, and the types and routes were very different.

Because of this, Darren Wilson often integrates different resources, so that they can contact items that are better, not necessarily accessible at the time at the time.

From the actions of Darren Wilson in Edward Hodchson's award season this year, it can be seen that he supports his customers.

In China, this is not uncommon, but this is not the case in Hollywood.

Because the agent and the artist are often employed and cooperative relationships, and in general, the agent is also very detailed. Such a meticulous, even using his own personal relationship, please come to Lu Yanhe platform.

Edward Hodchson may not understand, but Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan knew his intentions for the various actions of Darren Wilson.

In Edward's view, Darren used his great humanity and invited another customer to help.

However, for Lu Yanhe, Dalen is also a signal:

Dalen can do this extent for his customers.

Today Edward needs, Darren can find Lu Yanhe for him.

One day in the future, what if Lu Yanhe needs it?

Will Dalen help him like this?

"The most important thing is that if Edward really got the Oscar nomination in the end, you know how much Dalen play in this process." Chen Ziyan smiled, "This is not an opportunity to show his strength. What about your momentum is so fierce, Darren must also worry about being dug away by others, and you must show his energy and strength in front of you to keep you. "

"I also felt that this time, Dalen's attitude towards me seemed a little different."

"He saw the value on you." Chen Ziyan said, "In addition to your value as an actor and screenwriter, there are other values, such as the value of Edward this time. If your support for Edward really helped Edward, I really helped Edward Further opening up the awards season, then you should worry about it. In the future, such things will come to you. "

"But if I say a word in this way, will others not question that I will affect fairness?"

"This is the environment that you are not in the Hollywood system. Why do you put public relations on the table? Because as long as you are really recommending a good movie, you are not talking about it. In order to make good movies be seen by more people, it is recommended that there is no problem. "

Chen Ziyan paused, and then said, "You know, we often say that fairness is to eliminate all factors that affect the process and results. Therefore As a result of the award result, whether it is worthy of this award, all parties show their magical powers. As long as there is no bribery and tickets on the bright side, this ability of public relations and operations is also considered to be taken for granted. "

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"There is another thing. Just now Wang Jiaqi revealed a message with me. In addition to being in contact with" Destruction Day ", Chen Pinhe was also in contact with Maxine's drama. Chen Pinhe.

As soon as Lu Yanhe heard it, it was right.

"Before you said, in the future, Chen Pinhe's project, you intend to talk about it, do you have the idea of ​​this drama?" Chen Ziyan asked.

"Of course." Lu Yanhe nodded, "It should be sniper, Maxine's play ... How did they find Chen Pinhe directly and did not go to Jiang Jun?"

Jiang Jun is similar to Chen Pinhe's age. Generally speaking, Jiang Jun can also perform the role of Chen Pinhe.

And Jiang Jun leaped with "Squid Game" and became one of the hottest actors at the moment.

Chen Ziyan said, "I don't know, but it is normal to find Chen Pinhe to first find Chen Pinhe. He still made a lot of attention in the international year. Even if Jiang Jun was on fire, it was still unable to follow Chen's achievements and status. Compared to "

"I thought at least Maxine's episodes would definitely choose Jiang Jun between the two of them."

Chen Ziyan: "This is not necessarily. I have to find out first, what is the situation of Maxine's drama? May Of course, Chen Pinhe has a good success. Of course, even if they have not cooperated, they will give priority to Chen Pinhe. Now, if people make a choice between you and Chen Pinhe, you may have to hesitate, but between him and Jiang Jun ... … You overestimated Jiang Jun "."

Lu Yanhe calmed down.

He realized that he was a little unrealistic just now.

His aversion to Chen Pinhe is deeper than him, and even affects his basic judgment.

"Of course, this is not to say that Jiang Jun could not gain the strength of Chen Pinhe in the next few years." Chen Ziyan said, "At least, in the domestic drama, Jiang Jun has achieved the achievements of the ceiling in recent years. It's ".

Jiang Jun has the title of the Non -Crown King in the circle.

The acting skills were first -rate, but they were not hot. During the younger time, I did not get any achievements.

Now, Jiang Jun's reputation has risen, and there is no shortage of heat. He also nominated the best actor of the Golden Globe Award Tetan Raids by "Squid Games". Essence

Lu Yanhuan started to calculate immediately. Indeed, if he rely on himself, he and Chen Pinhe are not a track. If you want to talk about his resources, it is difficult to talk about it. Just an actor.

Lu Yanhe himself cannot act, but he can be a director, you can invest, or write a script.

Many scripts in his mind instantly.

The box office is bursting, winning the prize, the audience's word of mouth is particularly good ...

Lu Yanhe himself did not realize that his eyes burned a fire in his eyes.

Chen Ziyan asked, "Is there any news on the road?"

"Not yet." Lu Yanhe returned to calm and shook his head. "It may take time for him to watch the script.

"I heard that Parameter has already appeared in the contract of Chen Pinhe." Chen Ziyan said, "Chen Pinhe suddenly started to urge Parameter's contract progress. I guess he should have heard of the news we came."

"Then we have to speed up the progress. If the contract is signed, and you want to change the idea of ​​Parameter, it is more difficult than now." Lu Yanhe frowned, "but we are not good at urging the road."

"Then find a reason to make Parameter don't rush to sign a contract with Chen Pinhe." Chen Ziyan said, "There is a way, we take the initiative to see the mountain to contact the Parameter and tell them that we heard that this project, if they have not yet settled an actor, We want to talk to them about the possibility of cooperation with them. "

Lu Yanhe stunned.

"Can this delay the progress of the contract with Chen Pinhe?"

"Yes." Chen Ziyan said, "I am even very confident. Compared with Chen Pinhe, you, a popular actor who just had a movie that grossed over 200 million US dollars worldwide, are definitely attractive to Parameter. No matter who they think is better in the end, they will definitely seriously consider the possibility of you replacing Chen Pinhe, which can buy some time."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"Okay, let's do it."
