Chapter 293 Dugu Qiubai (7,000 words updated!)
Li Xiao sometimes doesn’t understand why her boyfriend blindly appreciates Lu Yanhe as if he was on drugs.
Even a little jealous.
Li Xiao is very sure that Mao Jiayang's evaluation of her is definitely not as high as that of Lu Yanhe.
However, because he was with Mao Jiayang, Li Xiao occasionally met Lu Yanhe at close range, or even sat together to eat.
After Li Xiao contacted Lu Yanhe several times, he somewhat understood Mao Jiayang's feelings.
Some people are perfect in every aspect, but because they are perfect, people think they are fake, and they are hard to like.
Lu Yanhe is serious, sunny, not pretentious, and very sincere. Just like Mao Jiayang said, he is a very nice person, and he has very upright views, making it impossible to dislike him.
At first, Li Xiao thought that Mao Jiayang was straight-minded and could not see the complexity of people like Lu Yanhe who were involved in the entertainment industry. She always believed that it was impossible for a person to achieve such achievements and status. A simple person, but after dealing with Lu Yanhe, Li Xiao felt relieved.
Lu Yanhe has never wanted to disguise himself as a simple person. This was the beginning of Li Xiao changing his view of Lu Yanhe. If Lu Yanhe wanted to pretend to be a simple person, full of ideals and justice, Li Xiao would have to stay away from him. But he never showed off his knowledge at work, and never preached or gave guidance to them as a "experienced person" - this was what Li Xiao was most afraid of.
Li Xiao majored in journalism.
In this era where people shout that "news is dead" every day, Li Xiao often worries about his profession and future.
At present, apart from national news organizations, there are almost no good places for journalists to go. Self-media has become mainstream, and news expertise seems to be less important in the fast and convenient Internet era.
While having dinner with Lu Yanhe, Li Xiao subconsciously talked about his worries about this major because of a topic, and he felt regretful as soon as he finished speaking.
When Li Xiao talked about this topic before, he often received comfort or encouragement from others, but these were just superficial words with no actual meaning. The worst thing is that someone will comment on the news industry from a condescending perspective. This is what Li Xiao hates the most.
She knows that the news industry has undergone tremendous changes from ten years ago, but this does not mean that she can calmly listen to other people's opinions on this thing that she loves.
But Lu Yanhe’s reaction was beyond Li Xiao’s expectation.
He nodded seriously, but did not rush to answer or talk about news XXXXX. Instead, he asked seriously: "When you chose journalism as a major, was it your first choice?"
Li Xiao nodded in surprise.
Lu Yanhe said: "One of the editors of Yemai.com, Xin Zixing, is the person in charge of the electronic version of "Jump Up". She used to be the editor of a fashion magazine, but later the magazine stopped and ceased publication. She went to Yemai.com and started from the fashion section of Yemai.com. When she was doing street photography in Langhua, she suddenly wanted to make a documentary like "City Travels", and now she has become the director of "City Travels" Producer.”
Li Xiao looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise, wondering why he suddenly said this.
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "I just admire people like you who have always chosen to do the things you like. Engaging in the things you like seems to be able to burst out with particularly great energy. The things she has at hand There are a lot of things and she is very busy every day, but I have never heard her cry out that she is tired."
Probably because what Lu Yanhe said was too unexpected, Li Xiao smiled sheepishly.
“You are also someone who has always chosen to do what you like.”
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, “I first started doing something, and then slowly started to like it. .”
"Huh?"
"I don't do this career as an artist or acting because I like it." Lu Yanhe said frankly, "I slowly fell in love with it after doing it."< br>
"What about "Jump Up"?" Li Xiao asked again.
Lu Yanhe smiled, and Li Xiao felt that he seemed to see a little shyness in Lu Yanhe's smile.
Li Xiao felt that he had seen it wrong and it was an illusion.
How could a big star still show shyness in his smile?
Lu Yanhe said: “This magazine...how should I put it, of course it is what I want to do, but what I really want to do is because of the people who work with me on this magazine. ”
“Oh, yes, you said it. I remember you said it in an interview. That’s because you can make this magazine with your high school classmates so that you can still do it after graduation. Connected." Li Xiao nodded, remembering the interview he had read.
Mao Jiayang turned to look at Li Xiao and asked: "Have you seen Lao Lu's interview?"
"He is very popular, and he occasionally gets pushed." Li Xiao said, " And, as you know, many of my classmates are his fans and often forward news related to him.”
Mao Jiayang smiled at Lu Yanhe and said, "It's true. Several of Xiaoxiao's friends have said that they hope to work with you after graduation."
"My place?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
He thought, where is he?
Mao Jiayang said: "Didn't "Jump Up" do a lot of self-media? Then they often publish some comments and interviews. They really want to do that."
Lu Yanhe reacted. , "Well, that wasn't done by me, it was done by Chen Siqi and the other editors, and it has nothing to do with me."
Mao Jiayang said: "I saw the news that you established a film and television company by yourself?"
"It's just an empty shelf. There is no one except me and my agent." Lu Yanhe waved his hand, " Just to facilitate some work matters."
Li Xiao asked: "Did you write the script yourself for the drama you collaborated with Jingtai?"
< br>Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "To be precise, our director Bai Jingnian wanted to shoot such a story, so he wrote a story concept that asked six young people to be the protagonists, three men and three women. They were in a prosperous big city. He lives, works, pursues his dreams and becomes very good friends. I wrote a script based on the concept he wrote."
Li Xiao nodded.
"But I haven't thought of a suitable name until now." Lu Yanhe said, "I don't know what kind of name would be suitable."
Li Xiao asked: "Isn't it easy to choose a name? I think There are many names like "Warm, Sweet" and "Hot Life" now."
"The name of a drama must be similar to the temperament of the drama itself. I don’t want to use a very pretentious and artistic name, because this is a sitcom that tells the most natural and relaxed stories. , it’s best to say it, and everyone will know it’s this drama, without too many modifying words,” Lu Yanhe said.
Li Xiao heard this and said: "The six of you will be the protagonists and the lives, work, dreams and friendships of the six of you will be told. Then think of a name around these six people."
Li Xiao's words stirred up a thousand waves in Lu Yanhe's mind.
Lu Yanhe thought of a long-ago name.
The nickname of "Friends"——
"Six People".
Lu Yanhe did not want to use "Friends" because they were not old friends at the beginning of the story. The English name is "Friends", which literally translates to "Friends", which is too common in the Chinese context.
But "Six People" is inexplicably suitable for this version.
The sentence pattern comes from "Three people walking together, there must be my teacher". The three words "Six people walking together" completely meet Lu Yanhe's standard of less modification of the name and highlighting the theme.
-
Lu Yanhe finally decided on the name "Six People".
After the first round of auditions, a total of eighteen actors entered the second round of auditions.
This round is not an audition, but an interview.
In the first round, they will be asked to do a small situational performance to see their basic qualities. In this round, they will just chat and see the actor's personality and qualities.
For the second round of auditions, Yan Liang and Wen Minglan also came.
Lu Yanhe wants to hear their opinions.
Since six people are starring in this drama together, the feeling between the actors is also very important.
-
When everyone was exchanging opinions, Lu Yanhe discovered that everyone has different perspectives and standards for seeing actors.
Bai Jingnian particularly likes a girl named Bai Jin.
“A very handsome girl, with heroic eyes and a cheerful person. Look at her words and deeds, they are very similar to Li Lili.”
“But Li Lili is actually A pretty silly girl, she really fits the image "She's suitable, but she doesn't have the energy to do stupid things like Li Lili." Hu Siwei had a different view, "On the contrary, I think He Qutian looks more like Li Lili."
"He Qutian doesn't look like that." Bai Jin is beautiful.”
"Both girls are pretty, but their temperaments are different." Hu Siwei said, "You just like girls like Bai Jin who are a bit heroic."
Bai Jingnian: "He Qutian feels like she is acting like a little girl. , do you think she looks like a girl who dares to run away from a wedding? "
Bai Jingnian thinks He Qiaotian is too gentle and sweet.
After the two people argued, each could not convince the other, so they came to ask Lu Yanhe for his opinion.
Lu Yanhe felt that what they both said was quite reasonable.
"Just looking at them today, I might not be able to see anything too rich and three-dimensional. How about inviting them to try on makeup together to see who is more suitable for Li Lili."
In "Six People", Lu Yanhe Li Lili was written based on the appearance of Rachel in "Friends". An ordinary girl who is beautiful, but does not move people with "glamour" at all in her life. Both Bai Jin and He Qutian made Lu Yanhe feel a little worse, but the idea of making the actors 100% suitable for the characters is unreasonable. That's why Lu Yanhe said, maybe we can look at it again.
If Lu Yanhe really had to make a choice, Lu Yanhe felt that it was most appropriate for Bai Jin to play Zhou Zhixi, the most boyish girl among the three girls.
Lu Yanhe himself is not writing a tomboy, but a girl who doesn’t care much about femininity in her words and deeds. Zhou Zhixi in "Six People" is different from Chen Wanqiu's self-disciplined literature and Li Lili's sloppy personality. She has her stubborn little character, and her thinking that seems to have the most outlook on life and world view, but in fact she has many behaviors. The way is different from ordinary people.
Bai Jin's temperament, which is different from that of ordinary girls, fits Zhou Zhixi very well.
As for He Qutian, Lu Yanhe feels that her image is not suitable for this drama, and she is more suitable for playing roles with a stronger sense of neighborliness, such as the sister of a certain protagonist who will be a guest star in the future.
It was just the first time for Lu Yanhe to participate in casting. He was not sure whether his idea was correct, so he did not express his opinion easily.
Lu Yanhe will not think that he has the ability to challenge all the rules here just because he wrote this script or because he has seen what successful works look like. Just like the song "Remember", someone can become famous as soon as he sings it on the show. He moved it to sing it, but he only got good praise and became a little popular. The person who really made this song famous, It's Song Linxin.
If you think that you can move sideways in this world by simply transporting those works from the past, Lu Yanhe feels that he has underestimated the normal operation of the world. He has a gold mine from another time and space, but he just said that he knows a lot of gold mines that can be successful under certain conditions. He still needs to understand what's inside, why it's successful, and why it's liked by everyone.
Learn before he doesn’t understand, and silently watch how others do it.

While everyone was watching the actors intensively, more news about the drama "Six People" also spread, especially on the Internet.
1. This is a sitcom.
2. This is a sitcom that is planned to be filmed and broadcast simultaneously.
3. This is a sitcom that is planned to be broadcast weekly, with one episode per week.
4. During the first broadcast of this drama in Beijing and Taiwan, it will be broadcast exclusively on the TV station and will not be online on the video website. It will be online on the video website after the entire drama is broadcast.
……
When the news first spread, many people didn’t quite believe the news and found it incredible.
Nothing else, because this approach is incredible. No drama has done this in recent years.
How dare "Six People" do this?
Especially if the video website is not launched at the same time, brother, in this era, how many people still watch TV?
Many people really take these news as a joke. Until someone who worked for a video website spoke on his social media and said that the news was true: Our website wanted to buy the online broadcast rights of Lu Yanhe's drama, but they refused to sell it and said that it would be premiered on the TV station. Later, I would consider launching it on a video website.
The authenticity of this news was confirmed, and many people were confused and unable to understand it.
A sitcom that insists on being broadcast exclusively on TV stations in the Internet era, or is it a weekly broadcast?
Are you sure?
Aren’t you kidding?
If you weren't joking, did your head get squeezed by the door? -
Zhou Ping'an rushed to the legal department as fast as he could and asked Yan Liang if his performance contract had been sent out.
The legal officer said innocently: "It has been sent to Beijing and Taiwan in the morning."
Zhou Ping'an let out a hysterical "Fuck!".
When Zhou Ping'an left Star Entertainment's legal department like an angry lion, the man looked confused and asked: "What's wrong with him? Wasn't he the one who pressed for the contract before? Why does it look like I am I finished the contract and he still acted like I made a mistake?”
The colleague silently turned his computer screen to him.
The legal officer went over and looked at it for a while, and understood instantly.
“He wants to break the contract?”
"I guess so."
"Well, suddenly I can understand his mood. With this drama, doesn't it make it clear that he is going to rush into the street?"
"Hahaha, It's only broadcast on the TV station, not online." My colleague shook his head, "Jingtai has deceived Lu Yanhe."
"How could Chen Ziyan allow this to happen?"
How could it happen? The individuals got together and chatted.
-
Zhou Pingan rushed to Chen Ziyan's office angrily.
“Have you known it for a long time?”
Chen Ziyan looked away from her computer screen and looked at Zhou Pingan, with a calm expression on her face, and asked: “What did I know for a long time?”
Zhou Ping'an said: "The TV station broadcasts it exclusively, not online."
Chen Ziyan frowned slightly and asked: "So?"
"Do you think that if you told me in advance that I would let Yan Liang act in a drama that was only going to be broadcast on a TV station? I was so surprised. The male protagonist of the play is also on the street."
Chen Ziyan: "Zhou Ping'an, you have been an agent for so many years, have you become a dog?"
< br>Chen Ziyan showed no sign of cowardice and scolded Zhou Pingan, "What do you mean by fighting on the streets? You know shit about drama."
Zhou Pingan: "You all have to put it on the fucking TV station It’s broadcast exclusively. How many people are watching TV now? How many people are watching the average ratings of 0.4 in Beijing and Taiwan?”
Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, if you don't care about the 0.4 ratings, I will tell everyone at the TV station what you said right away. If you can, be tough. Your artists will no longer be on the TV station."
Zhou Ping'an was so angry that he yelled: "Did I fucking mean this?"
"You can say another damn thing to me!" Chen Ziyan scolded angrily.
The two people were confronting each other in Chen Ziyan's office, and their swords were at war. Even people outside the office could hear some noises and looked at each other in surprise.
However, they could only hear some roaring sounds, but they could not hear clearly what the noise was about.
The sound insulation is still very good.
The reason why Zhou Ping'an was so angry, whether he thought "Six People" was going to hit the market or not, was mainly because he felt that he had been fooled by Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan.
Actually, how a drama is broadcast has little to do with the actors, and it is not up to the actors to decide.
But if a drama has to take a road that is obviously dead when it is being planned for filming, it will of course affect the final decisions of many actors and even agents.
Zhou Ping'an didn't ask such a question at all. Nowadays, the current dramas are either pure online dramas or simulcast between Taiwan and the Internet. There is no longer the so-called drama that is only broadcast on TV stations and not synchronized on video websites.
Video websites are the bulk of a drama’s income.
Who would have thought that this sitcom is so stubborn, it is simply mentally ill.
Zhou Pingan and Chen Ziyan had a quarrel, but nothing came out of it.
Of course it is impossible for Chen Ziyan to quarrel with him.
The performance contract has been signed, and it is impossible to give Zhou Pingan a chance to regret it.
Zhou Pingan was really just venting his anger and expressing his dissatisfaction.
-
When Zhou Ping'an left, the anger on Chen Ziyan's face disappeared.
Her eyes returned to the computer screen and sent a message to Lu Qingzhen, saying: The various doubts about "Six People" are not a bad thing now. A drama is not afraid of controversy or doubt before it is broadcast. No one pays attention, and the exposure of this matter so early can also actively help the news that this drama will only be broadcast in Beijing and Taiwan strengthen the impression in the minds of the audience.
Lu Qingzhen: However, this is really a bit risky.
Chen Ziyan: It doesn't matter. With the production cost of "Six", even a ratings of 0.4 is still profitable. Do you think Beijing and Taiwan will make a loss? They kept the production costs so low because they knew they would be under a lot of pressure.
Lu Qingzhen: But now the topic of "Six People" is really high, and it is almost a hot search on online social platforms.
Chen Ziyan: Beijing and Taiwan’s publicity department has always been great, and this time the topic itself is enough.
Lu Qingzhen: Beijing and Taiwan’s publicity has always been strong. After all, it is a traditional TV station, but such an overwhelming focus on this kind of topic can easily cause the drama to go up and down. It has not been filmed yet, and the topic is The speed is so vigorous.
Chen Ziyan: The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The only star of this drama is Xiao Lu. He cannot bear the ratings of a drama. Many big productions keep everything secret before broadcasting because they have strict rules. Publicity steps, early exposure will disrupt their design , but this drama, if it hadn’t been more popular in the past, relying on Xiao Lu’s popularity and current fans, it would not be able to support the ratings of this drama. There are only eight episodes in total, one per week, and the first episode The ratings are so important that there is almost no opportunity for trial and error.
Lu Qingzhen understood what Chen Ziyan meant.
Chen Ziyan: Moreover, we have all read the script. This drama may not be liked by all viewers at the beginning, but there are no surprises that will make the audience feel uncomfortable, so the most important thing is Make the basic market bigger.
Lu Qingzhen: OK, you are professionals in this area.
-
In this regard, Chen Ziyan, Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian have the same opinions.
When the three of them came to an agreement, even though Lu Yanhe himself didn't like this method of stirring up topics before filming started, he honestly kept his mouth shut and acquiesced to their operation.
If everyone was still questioning it spontaneously at the beginning, later in the relevant discussions, they each arranged for people to end.
Discuss the broadcast prospects of sitcoms in this Internet era, discuss whether the weekly broadcast model can gain a foothold, and discuss whether the ratings will increase if it is only broadcast on a TV station.
Lu Yanhe even knew that Chen Ziyan arranged for someone to pretend to be a fan and started a topic: If "Six People" is broadcast exclusively on the TV station and the ratings are not as good as Beijing and Taiwan's average ratings of 0.4, then is it a TV series of the year? The biggest tragedy?
This topic triggered a lot of forwarding and discussion.
It seems that everyone is not optimistic about their drama, but such topic discussions and popularity have made more and more people know about the drama "Six People".
The searches for the names of Lu Yanhe, Wen Minglan and Yan Liang have also surged on social networks.
The number of searches for Yan Liang's name increased by 270% during this period, which made the angry Zhou Ping'an maintain his superficial anger while becoming concerned about this unexpected surprise.
The number of Yan Liang’s social media fans is growing much faster.
-
The second season of "Young Days" has been launched. As a popular variety show broadcast last year, all the data of the first episode of the second season are better.
The first season really accumulated a lot of fans for this show, and the second season was actually able to be recorded by the original cast, which made the old fans very excited.
As a result, in the first issue of the second season of "Young Days", Lu Yanhe created this sitcom.
Lu Yanhe was using his laptop to write the rest of the script during the show.
I happened to be following the filming PD and asked him what he was writing in his notebook alone. Lu Yanhe directly answered that he was writing a sitcom script.
PD asked: "Why do you want to create a sitcom script?"
Lu Yanhe said: "I am not original. It was Bai Jingnian, the director of this show, who proposed such a project plan and outline, and then I I started writing it based on him, but I had a lot of fun writing it. I like these characters very much.”
PD asked: "Then what are your expectations for this drama?"
Lu Yanhe said: "Actually, as long as we can make everyone laugh when they watch the drama, it will be enough."
< br>PD said: "After you won the Golden Tripod Award, many people were actually looking forward to when you would win the Best Actor."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "Yes."
PD asked: "Why not take on a drama that is more conducive to you winning the best actor? After all, we still have to admit that sitcoms have never been popular. Mainstream awards welcome, right?”
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and widened his eyes, "Can this be said? Well, maybe yes, but it doesn't matter. My agent always said one thing to me. She said, I am very young. I Feel free to try whatever you want and don't let others Don’t be bound by what people say, and don’t be bound by the honors you have achieved. I am very grateful to her for her encouragement and support, which has allowed me to do things that are not commonly seen in artists.”
PD asked: "Then trying actually means that there is a high possibility of failure, because it is not in the comfort zone, and there is no probability of success rate. How do you view this problem?"
Lu Yanhe said with a smile. : "Actually, I'm quite looking forward to my failure."
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
"Actually, many media friends have shaped my image too well, as if I am a person without shortcomings and a person who will succeed in whatever I do. In fact, It’s not like this. It’s impossible for someone to have no shortcomings, and it’s impossible for a person to succeed in everything he does. When my first failure came At this time, I can do what I want to do more easily, because no one will look at everything I am going to do as if I am successful in everything I do.”
After saying this. After a few words, Lu Yanhe smiled brightly in front of the camera. It didn't seem like he was saying polite words at all, and it didn't look like he was saying anything to save face.
-
This speech made by Lu Yanhe in the second season of "Young Days" was cut into a long picture and widely circulated.
His speech touched many people.
But there are also some media who are not too big a deal to watch the excitement. They titled it: Lu Yanhe, seeking defeat alone.
It seems that the Lu Yanhe bandit is arrogant.
Lu Yanhe was also helpless.
But this episode has made Lu Yanhe's image better - in the words of one netizen, his achievements are really not high, but his image is already as good as this, He is so sincere and can maintain his innocence in front of the camera. It is impossible for me to dislike him.
Because he is sincere enough, many of his previous shortcomings have now become points for everyone to support him.
What’s wrong with him wanting to try writing scripts?
What’s wrong with him wanting to be in a sitcom?
What’s wrong with him wanting to do something he’s never done before?
The worst case scenario is failure.
For Lu Yanhe, the biggest gain this time is that his career-minded fans are relieved and no longer question whether his choice is unreliable or not the best choice.
Lu Yanhe cannot say to the fans who question him, I don’t need your support.
So, he was very grateful that they finally understood him.
There were so many updates in the past three days that I was hurt from writing, and I had insomnia yesterday.
But I got a piece of good news today. The editor told me that there will be a big push next month.
Thank you all, thank you to the editor. This book has been recommended every month since it was put on the shelves. Counting next month's big recommendation, it seems that all the recommendations have been reviewed, and only an introduction is missing.
Asking for a monthly pass!
