On the day when "Three Mountains" premiered in Yuming, both Li Zhibai and Yan Liang came to support Lu Yanhe.
Nowadays, movie promotions like to do a segment where "celebrity audiences talk about their feelings about watching movies", and what they say will be put on short video platforms for promotion.
So, this kind of premiere usually invites a lot of celebrities to support the event, using their fame and fan power to spread the movie's coverage.
Because this was not a movie starring Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe didn’t think about making a big fight, so he asked Li Zhibai and Yan Liang if they were free. They happened to be free, so they were invited. .
After all, it was a movie he acted in. No matter how much conflicts he had with the publisher in the early stage, on the eve of its release, Lu Yanhe still hoped that the movie would achieve good results.
After the movie screening ended, there was thunderous applause.
This is also an inertial operation.
Normally there is no negative feedback at a movie premiere.
Basically, it is either a trust or a human relationship, and you have to praise it even if you insist on it.
Many people from the film industry came to the scene, especially several big directors.
Lu Yanhe followed everyone on stage.
Chen Jiang and the others gave him the C seat next to Director Wang Zhong. He did not go and let them go. He stood at the edge.
The host also asked, smiling why Lu Yanhe was so afraid of standing in the C position.
Lu Yanhe said: "They are the leading actors, I am just here to make a cameo. This is their time to accept everyone's applause."
As soon as Lu Yanhe finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.
The host first interviewed the creators one by one.
When asked about Lu Yanhe, the question was: "We all heard that you only shot this scene for one night. Why did you come to guest star in this movie at that time?"
Lu Yanhe said: "To tell the truth, my agent helped me pick it up, so I came here. Before this, I had not watched the movie directed by Wang Zhong. After that, I will watch the movie directed by Wang Zhong. Once, after reading it, you will understand "Why did my agent help me take on this movie? Even if there is only one scene, it is still worth it. This was my feeling after watching the movie directed by Wang Zhong."
The host said with a smile: "Then it seems that Director Wang Zhong is very kind to you and gave you ten minutes of footage."
"Yes." Lu Yanhe immediately said with a smile, "I will treasure these ten minutes of footage. ”
The host asked again: "Previously, your response to director Wang Zhong's film style at the West Turf Film Festival aroused heated discussions in the world of film circles. When you said those words, did you ever think that it would have such a big impact? ”
Lu Yanheyao "How could that be?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the host, who had an expression on his face like "Huh? Are you done yet?" Lu Yanhe had no choice but to continue: "As an actor, I Think that you can feel a variety of different styles and themes The theme and the charm of different types of movies are a very important basis. The interpretation I made is not the real director Wang Zhong, it is just the director Wang Zhong in my eyes. Thousands of people, thousands of faces, movies like "Three Mountains" , it must be like this, different People will see different content. This is the most enjoyable moment for me as a participant in a movie.” One of them named Li Zhibai.
"I heard that Li Zhibai also came to the scene today. Where is Zhibai?"
Li Zhibai stood up from the audience and waved to the people on the stage.
Many spectators in the audience immediately took out their mobile phones to take pictures of him.
Li Zhibai said: "Hello, director Wang Zhong, I am Li Zhibai, a friend of Lao Lu. I would like to introduce myself first. I am also an actor. If you have a role in the future, please consider me. , one shot will do.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed. There are many actors who recommend themselves, but it is rare for actors to recommend themselves at the premiere of someone else's movie.
However, Li Zhibai has always been a rebellious person, and everyone has already formed an impression of him, so they are not surprised.
Director Wang Zhong nodded and said: "I have seen your play."
"Huh?" Li Zhibai was surprised, "It can't be "Accompany You to the End of the World", right? ? Director, do you also watch idol dramas?"
Director Wang Zhong nodded again, Said: "My daughter is your fan, she took me to watch two episodes together."
Many people were shocked at the scene, mainly because no one expected that Director Wang Zhong, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, An artist can actually watch an idol drama like "With You to the End of the World".
Li Zhibai laughed twice and said: "Then I have to thank your daughter for letting the director know me."
Wang Zhong said: "Next time there is a suitable opportunity, I will look for you."
"Okay." Li Zhibai's eyes lit up.
We started chatting for no reason.
After the pleasantries were over, Li Zhibaicai got back to the topic and talked about his own experience of watching the movie.
"I don't usually watch this kind of movies. I'm a layman and I like to watch movies that make my blood boil. But just now I sat in the cinema and watched it from beginning to end. I was completely absorbed in it. It's no exaggeration. My attention was always fixed. I was so caught up in the movie’s scenes that I really thought I wouldn’t be able to stand it anymore.” Li Zhibai held the microphone with both hands, “Actually, I’ve never watched Director Wang’s movie, but it seems like it’s just because of the past. I saw in the media and on the Internet everyone’s response to Wang The director's description made me have some stereotypes about movies that are obscure, difficult to watch, etc. Today, I feel like I got a huge surprise. I don't think this movie cannot be defined as a commercial movie—— If the criterion for measuring commercial films and literary films is whether they are good or not, there is no doubt that this is a very good film. I really think so."
A fan of Wang Zhong immediately cheered, meaning Li Zhi. Well said.
Li Zhibai continued: "The performances of several actors were all great. Before watching the movie, I seemed to have the feeling that Lu's ten-minute performance was the highlight of the movie. In fact, after watching it Only then did I realize that there are so many wonderful things about this movie, and the performances of the actors are also very good. Very good, so I had the urge to ask Director Wang for a role just now. They are all very young actors, about my age. I was very happy to see that they were able to give such outstanding performances in the movie "Three Mountains" Envy."
After Li Zhibai finished speaking, he returned the microphone to the staff.
Host: "Thank you Zhibai, your sharing really makes us feel your love for this movie. What about you, Yan Liang?"
Yan Liang was sitting next to Li Zhibai.
After his name was called, Yan Liang stood up and said hello to everyone.
“Li Zhibai has said everything I want to say, and I don’t know what else to say.” He smiled.
Host: "It's okay, just say a few words. Just now Li Zhibai was praising others, not your good brother. How about you talk about Lu Yanhe?"
" He has nothing to say," Yan Liang said immediately.
Lu Yanhe said "Come on".
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Yan Liang: "I felt very shocked after watching it. It was such a shock to my soul. I haven't seen such a movie for a long time. Maybe after I go back, it will take a long time to digest what it brought to me. "What kind of stimulation?"
"Facing desire, facing temptation." , what kind of choices do people have to make?" Yan Liang said, "This movie is like a dream that is filled with unpredictable colors and is full of weirdness. It is far from our real life, but it seems to be vaguely related to us. The shadow in my heart echoes. Will saying this make others think that I am a bad person? ”
Lu Yanhe immediately answered: "Who told you that you have nothing to say to me? Others must have thought you were a bad person."
Laughter again.
Yan Liang smiled.
“All in all, I will definitely watch this movie again. It is incredible that a movie can bring such an experience after watching it.”
-
After the premiere of "Three Mountains", Sanhe held a small media interview.
Lu Yanhe went with the crew to be interviewed and was busy until late.
Wang Zhongzhang invited everyone to go have supper together. Lu Yanhe said that Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were still waiting for him, and they made an appointment to have something to eat together.
Wang Zhong said: "Then let's invite them to come together."
Lu Yanhe thought, that is also a good thing.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are both acting. If they can participate in Wang Zhong's movies in the future, it will of course be a good thing. Even if they can't participate, knowing Wang Zhong, maybe there will be a suitable opportunity sometime in the future, and through Wang Zhong Recommended to them.
Lu Yanhe immediately called Li Zhibai and Yan Liang to join them.
Chen Ling invited everyone to go to a Chaoshan hotpot restaurant.
The release date of "Three Mountains" is two days later. Feedback from today’s premiere has come out one after another, with many media giving favorable reviews. The speeches of Li Zhibai and Yan Liang at the premiere were also trending on Sanhe Operations.
Just wait for the movie to be officially released and see what kind of results it can achieve.
At this time, when everyone is eating together, it is inevitable that they can't help but daydream about the box office and the situation after the movie is released.
Especially Chen Jiang and the others.
Wang Zhong also warned with sincerity: "You must act well and study your acting skills in a down-to-earth manner. Don't get carried away just because of some praises from people around you."
Chen Jiang and the others immediately nodded. .
In front of Wang Zhong, Chen Jiang and the others were very well-behaved.
Lu Yanhe was different from them.
Chen Jiang and the others can be regarded as people who were discovered by Wang Zhong. This kind of friendship is not comparable to that of Lu Yanhe.
Just like director Luo Yuzhong to Lu Yanhe, he also has a status that other directors cannot match.
It can be said that whenever Luo Yuzhong needs it, Lu Yanhe will definitely help him, no matter the salary or the size of the role.
Wang Zhong said again: "You two all came out of the movie "Three Mountains". In the future, you should support each other and don't quarrel or fight because of trivial matters. You should learn from this. They are friends we met when we were young. No matter how strong they are, they are the purest ones. If we help each other, we can go further.”
As soon as he finished saying this, Lu Yanhe looked at each other and smiled at Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.
Meeting each other as a teenager is a rare friendship. The older I get and the more people I see, the more I feel this way.
-
In the meantime, Wang Zhong went outside to answer the phone.
Lu Yanhe went to the bathroom and happened to meet Wang Zhong in the corridor returning, who was also walking back.
"Director."
"Xiao Lu, thank you very much for inviting Li Zhibai and Yan Liang here today."
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang may not have a high status in the film industry. But now they are all popular stars with great appeal. Being able to appear together at the premiere of "Three Mountains" all depends on Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said: "Director, you are too polite. I also have selfish motives and hope to introduce them to you."
Wang Zhong smiled.
He said: "You are such a good young man. I only worked with you for one night on the movie. But I have experienced a lot of things outside of the movie. Your response and courage surprised me." "
Lu Yanhe shook his head quickly and chuckled.
"How can you not, you praise me so much, I am almost ashamed."
"Chen Jiang and others were selected by me to act in this drama, from selecting them to training, Now, in three or four years, I have acted in this drama, and I don’t know if it is It delayed them. After all, they had to turn down many roles that came to them." Wang Zhong said, "In addition to acting, you also write your own scripts and produce. If there is a good opportunity, please give them more support. ."
"Director, I will do my best," Lu Yanhe said.
The king nodded.
“After winning the Best Director award at the West Tur Film Festival, everyone looked respectful when they saw me, respecting me like a master. It seemed that a huge change had occurred, but in fact , I have always been who I am, without any changes." Wang Chong smiled, "I am ashamed to say that I have only experienced the impact of this huge fame and fortune on me. In this regard, you are my senior. Your calm demeanor really makes me I am impressed, unlike a young man in his early twenties."
Lu Yanhe: "Director, you are serious. You have always put all your thoughts and concentration on making movies, so you have not spent any time before. To deal with these things, I am often forced to face Liangshan, forcing myself to change, to make myself look calm, but in fact I am not."
Wang Zhong took a deep look at Lu Yanhe and said slightly. A smile.

On the first day of its release, "Three Mountains" had box office pre-sales of 3.72 million, and the film schedule was 12%.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang each reserved the theater and invited their fans to watch the movie.
"Jump Up" launches the film review of "Three Mountains" and launches the "Three Mountains" Movie Review Essay Competition. The selected candidates will receive remuneration and will be published on the "Jump Up" self-media.
Lu Yanhe was filming on the set of "Late Spring" and held a ten-minute live broadcast, telling some behind-the-scenes stories about himself and the movie "Three Mountains" at the West Tur Film Festival.
The Youth Association of Zhenhua University announced that the forum "Wang Zhong and His Films" will be held in seven days, and Wang Zhong, the winner of the Best Director at the West Tour Film Festival, will be invited to give a lecture.
Yemai.com teamed up with many of its movie bloggers to organize a movie viewing event.
......
These are not publicity activities arranged by Sanhe, they all come from the power of Lu Yanhe.
Chen Siqi posted a Weibo, saying: I didn’t want to spend so much effort to promote a movie not starring Lu Yanhe, but what he said is right, even if the movie is not based on him. The protagonist, but he will feel honored to have participated in the filming of this movie, which is worthy of our doing. With the help of all parties, the first-day box office of "Three Mountains" sold 19.27 million. Adding in the 860,000 previously screened, the first-day box office exceeded 20 million, which is much higher than that given by professional box office forecasting agencies. The forecast figure is 10.5 million.
Only then did Lu Yanhe send out an officially produced congratulatory picture for the first-day box office exceeding 20 million, saying: Thank you.
Many fans congratulated each other from afar.
However, there are also some anti-fans who ridiculed and laughed at Lu Yanhe's huge movie. The box office on the first day was only 20 million, which was not even as high as an old movie released last Friday.
Lu Yanhe didn’t say anything.
Fans responded angrily, emphasizing how good a box office result this was for a literary film.
The next day, Saturday.
Box office pre-sale numbers and growth are not obvious.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, the daily box office will have exceeded 10 million.
It seems that the box office on Saturday is lower than that on Friday.
This box office figure allowed more sunspots to find an attack point, and then they began to say that Lu Yanhe's fans did not have lasting fighting power, and the box office saw a decline the next day.
Generally speaking, the box office on Saturday is much higher than that on Friday.
Lu Yanhe and the others actually found it strange.
However, after research by a professional box office data agency, we have come to the conclusion that yesterday’s box office reached that figure mainly due to Lu Yanhe’s fans watching the movie. The loss of this part of the audience today revealed that The real market situation of this movie.
This data analysis has been circulated in the industry. On the one hand, it is a pity that this movie did not achieve better box office results after all. On the other hand, they are surprised by Lu Yanhe's ability to bring in box office results.
The first-day box office of a movie not starring him was mainly supported by him.
This is too incredible to be true.
Just a ten-minute guest appearance in a movie can achieve such results, but what will happen when it comes to a movie starring Lu Yanhe?
Such a question arises subconsciously in many people’s minds.
In the end, the box office of "Three Mountains" was fixed at 15.3 million yuan on Saturday, and the total box office exceeded 35 million yuan.
This is already the best domestic box office result for a film directed by Wang Zhong.
The movie's box office is expected to exceed 50 million, which surprises Mikawa.
They all gave up at first.
There were so many commotions before the release. Lu Yanhe and Wang Zhong did not cooperate with their publicity strategies, leaving them at a loss. They slapped each other in the face and the reputation was bad.
I didn’t expect that.
Those knowledgeable in the industry are pleasantly surprised by such a figure.
But people who don't know the art are seriously discussing whether Lu Yanhe's redness is fake or not.
“It’s a joke. I used to act like I was a superstar. I didn’t expect that the movie would show its true colors as soon as it was released. The box office might not even break 60 million. What happened to literary and artistic films? Artistic films are the best. It’s a test of an actor’s ability to handle the box office,” Yu Jiang said sarcastically, “With so many people helping to promote it, and the country’s top-selling magazine co-organizing an essay competition, and the top university hosting a director’s forum, what kind of box-office performance do you think it can make. Well, what if other movies had such help? It must have exceeded 100 million on the first day.”
Chen Siqi forwarded her Weibo post and said: “How powerful can a person tell lies with his eyes open—the first-day box office of our domestic literary film. The records are still held by director Zhang Haizhou, the first 84.2 million per day, what kind of billions are you breaking? Do you look down upon other people’s good intentions and are as jealous as a sour cucumber?”
A group of people commented on Chen Siqi’s Weibo:
< br>——Sister 66666!
——I just like watching my sister spray this old witch.
——I really want to know how much grudge you have against Teacher Yujiang to make her stare at you all the time?
......
At this time, "Film Jianghu" magazine disclosed a data. The production cost of "Three Mountains" was only 17 million, and the publicity cost was only 3 million, adding up to a total of 20 million. Long before domestic movies were released, they had already made profits from overseas copyright sales, and now theater box office sales are pure profits.
Chen Siqi in the comment area @元江: "Teacher Yu, have the movies adapted from your works achieved such success? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, your works have not been adapted into movies, so I don't even know What is the gameplay of the movie? No wonder you can only watch it as a layman and say sour grapes.”
When Yu Jiang saw what Chen Siqi said, he was so angry that he almost dropped his phone.
"How can a young girl speak so meanly and viciously?" Yu Jiang's friend Jin Huixiu said immediately when she saw Yu Jiang's anger about to explode.
Yu Jiang sneered and said: "Girls of this age are really rude and have no tutoring."
"Oh, don't blame her for this. After all, she has not had it since she was a child. Her biological mother was there to discipline her,” Kim Hye-soo said.
"Huh?" Yu Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Sister Jin, do you know her?"
"I don't know her, I just heard that her family has business connections with my husband." Jin Huixiu smiled and said: "I met her stepmother before, she is a person who is used to acting, you know , I am the most annoyed by this kind of people, so we have no contact with them after meeting them once."
Yu Jiang smiled and said, "Sister Jin, I am also the most annoyed by this kind of people, but every time I I'm going to be ridiculed by this girl. I get angry just thinking about it. I really want something to be done. It will be better if she is governed by the law."
Jin Huixiu glanced at her and said, "What are you doing with a young girl? She is so proud now and speaks so loudly. In a few years, she will be like this. nail, spleen The anger will naturally heal, and someone will teach her a lesson. You, a great writer, extend this hand."
"Oh, Sister Jin, I have been provoked by her time and time again, how can I bear my anger. ." Yu Jiang said immediately.
Kim Hye Soo: “I can’t help you with this.”
When Yu Jiang heard this, his heart suddenly sank.
But Jin Huixiu is not someone she can offend yet. They can't help her, and she can't throw her face away.
"Okay, then I'll figure it out myself." Yu Jiang sighed, looking helpless and pitiful.

On Sunday, the box office of "Three Mountains" dropped slightly again, with a daily box office of only 13 million yuan. The first weekend box office reached 48 million yuan, almost exceeding 50 million yuan.
Although this figure is not enough for the entire film market, "Three Mountains" still celebrates its own.
A celebration poster will be sent out every time the number exceeds 10 million.
Looking at it this way, "Three Mountains" is already expected to exceed 60 million in total box office.
This number is enough to shock the industry. After all, this movie doesn't have a single star in the lead role, and the production cost was only 17 million.
Lu Yanhe is also very happy. He has no specific expectations for how high the box office will be. He only hopes that the projects he participates in will at least not lose money.
No matter how much he pursues art and ideals, Lu Yanhe never wants things to turn into losing money and making money.
Wang Zhongdu said that everyone said that he was an art film director, but he controlled the budget very carefully for every movie. He wished he could break one dollar into two dollars just to make money. The cost pressure will be smaller, allowing investors to earn a little more.
He is not the kind of director who only cares about making the movie he wants to make after receiving investment, and does not care about the life and death of the investor.
Fortunately, the cost of each of his films is not high, and he is able to sell international copyrights, so investors do not lose money. Basically, every film can rely on the long-term follow-up Copyright revenue is profitable. It's just not very profitable.
"Three Mountains" is Wang Zhong's most profitable film since he became a director.
Overseas copyright revenue has now reached 20 million, and the current domestic theater box office is expected to earn another 20 million.
Coupled with copyright sales from various aspects such as video platforms and TV stations, the expected revenue of this movie can reach more than 50 million.
For a movie with a production cost of only 17 million, it is very profitable.
Industry analysts attribute the film’s success to Wang Zhong’s award-winning performance at the Xituer Film Festival and Lu Yanhe’s participation.
Because of the success of the movie "Three Mountains" at the box office, director Wang Zhong also gained a group of new fans.
His previous films also ushered in a new wave of viewers on video platforms, bringing him new revenue shares.
At this time, Lu Yanhe received a bonus from Chen Ling, totaling five million.
Lu Yanhe was surprised.
Chen Ziyan was even more surprised when she heard this.
“Although the revenue of this movie is almost 50 million, if we really want to get this much money, it will probably take half a year to get the money back, and the majority will have to be divided among Mikawa and the others. Chen Ling and Wang Zhong’s production company didn’t get half of it,” Chen Ziyan said, “They are really generous.”
Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Ziyan, should we return this money?"
"No need, you deserve this. Without you, we wouldn't be able to sell such a high box office." Chen Ziyan said.
"This bonus...does it need to be reported to the company? How much will it be divided into?"
"Actually, you took it yourself and no one said anything, but for the sake of insurance, for the future Don’t cause any more trouble. I think it’s better to split it with the company according to the contract. Anyway, based on the money you earn every year, the split with the company is already 7:3. You take the big share.”
“ OK.”
The reason why Chen Ziyan suggested Lu Yanhe do this was to avoid future troubles.
In the final analysis, bonuses are also a supplement to the salary. They are the rewards for starring in the movie.
Judging from the terms of the contract signed by Lu Yanhe and the company, it is a marginal area and can be covered in the remuneration and related income. It can also be interpreted as the producer and director of the production company because of Lu Yanhe’s personal Extra-contractual bonuses paid for performance are personal in nature.
Chen Ziyan feels that there is no need to leave this hidden danger. The main reason is that Lu Yanhe is very popular now and will become even more popular in the future. The contract between him and Star Entertainment can be renewed within a year. For negotiations and re-signing, there is no need to leave a trail at this time.

The week after "Three Mountains" was released, one night on a working day, work ended relatively early, and Liu Bige invited everyone to watch "Three Mountains".
Lu Yanhe booked a venue and invited everyone to watch this movie.
They had not seen this movie before because of filming.
After everyone watched this movie, their expressions changed when they looked at Lu Yanhe.
He Qingqing was the first to say: "Lu Yanhe, I finally understand why everyone praises you as a genius. I filmed "Late Spring" with you. I only thought you acted well, but I didn't think you acted that well. Well, those ten minutes you were in "Three Mountains" made my hair stand on end. How could you act so well?"
"I was shocked." Kong Fan was also dumbfounded and said, "I can't believe it only took you one night to shoot this scene."
Lu Yanhe: "Okay, okay, don't brag. ”
A smile spread across his face.
Liu Bige patted Lu Yanhe's shoulder with his right hand and said, "You are putting me under a lot of pressure."
Lu Yanhe said "Huh?"
Liu Bige said: "After watching "Three Mountains", I feel that my requirements for you are still too low. You still have a lot of potential that can be tapped?"
"What do you mean?"
Liu Bige said: "From now on, every one of your plays will start with at least ten lines. "
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe's eyes widened, "Isn't it?"
Liu Bige nodded with excitement on his face, "You want to be in "Late Spring" It takes a performance of this level!”
Lu Yanhe: "...This is a rare opportunity."
"Are you saying that the script of "Late Spring" is not good?" Liu Bige asked.
"Completely two styles."
"But the ultimate is the same." After Liu Bige finished speaking, he looked at Yan Lingyu and the others, "You are the same, too. Think about it, maybe one year from now, you will see your performance on the big screen. You hope to sit in the cinema How will the audience feel after watching this movie, and what kind of impression do you hope they will have on you? The protagonists of "Three Mountains" are all young people, about your age. Can you leave such an impression on the film industry as they do? Are they equally impressed?"
Yan Lingyu and Kong Fan looked at each other, seemingly lacking in confidence.
Liu Bige said seriously: "Believe me, my requirements for you are no lower than Director Wang Zhong's requirements for them. Although I am just a new director and this is my first time making a movie, I know what a good movie is. , I know what a good movie looks like, and I tell you very clearly that "Late Spring" will definitely be a movie that will be recorded in film history. How you act it will be recorded in film history."
< br>Liu Bige’s words are resounding.
Lu Yanhe wanted to ask if it was a bit exaggerated, but when he saw the determined light in Liu Bige's eyes, he wisely closed his mouth.
This moment is Liu Bige’s directorial moment.
As an actor, if he doesn’t support him at this time, when will he support him? -
