"It's really Versailles. Only Lu Yanhe can be so Versailles. Who else wouldn't be criticized?" Huang Kairen laughed.
“You have such crazy capital, and what you say is true.” Zheng Huairen of Northern Lights Video sat opposite Huang Kairen, “But of course you also have the capital to say that.”
Huang Kairen immediately waved his hand, "I'll forget it. I know myself, and my blood is not as thick as his."
Zheng Huairen smiled.
"The drama "Wulin Gaiden" will further consolidate your nationality."
Huang Kairen said: "Unexpectedly, Yan He didn't leave a role for himself."
Zheng Huairen: "We also asked this question, and he said that firstly, there is no suitable role, and secondly, it is unnecessary. "
"No need?"
"He said, this script is very good, As long as you find the right actor, anyone can be popular." After Zheng Huairen finished speaking, he shrugged with a smile, "This sounds crazy, but again, he has the capital to be crazy."
Huang Kairen said: "I read the scripts of the previous episodes. They are indeed well written and the characters are very distinct."
"Yes, after the script came over, we immediately decided that it was a script that could be developed into an S+-level drama, and we approved a high budget. However, Yan He didn't feel that such a large budget was needed." Zheng Huairen laughed. Laughing, "After so many years of acting, this is the first time I've encountered someone saying that they can't spend all the money and don't spend so much money."
Huang Kairen: "Yan He is naked. Zi Zhixin, when I cooperated with him and came into contact with him, he gave me this impression. His quality is commendable."
"Indeed," Zheng Huairen nodded, "But sometimes I also take it. He has a headache. For example, in your role, he always felt that you were too handsome and inappropriate for the character, so he didn't want you to play it."
Huang Kairen was stunned.
“Really?”
"Yeah." Zheng Huairen nodded, "If we want to restore the character's perspective in the script one to one, then indeed you may be much more handsome than Bai Zhantang in the script, and you have too much of a star look. However, we always have to face-to-face when filming. Not to mention many practical problems, I believe that your acting skills can definitely make up for these regrets."
Huang Kairen said: "Yan He had a previous film. The movie was very suitable for me and wanted me to act in it, but I hesitated for a long time and still refused.” People make decisions based on whether you are suitable for this role. "Huang Kairen said, "It must be reasonable for him to think that I am not suitable for Bai Zhantang at first."
Zheng Huairen nodded.
"Actually, we have been in this business for a long time and we know that there is no role that only one actor can play. But many roles have become classics and have filters. In the minds of the audience, they can no longer be replaced. That's all." Zheng Huairen said, "The role of Bai Zhantang belongs to you."
"I will let Yan He see that there will be no problem with me playing this role." Mr. Zheng, thank you for your persistence. Choose me. I have great expectations for the drama "Wulin Gaiden" and believe that we will definitely be able to create a classic work."
Zheng Huairen nodded and said, "I believe it can be done. "
-
Two hours later, Xin Zixing walked into the hotel wearing sunglasses. At the door of Huang Kairen's room, he turned around and looked around to make sure there was no one else. Just knocked on the door.
Huang Kairen opened the door from the inside.
Xin Zixing took off his sunglasses after entering the room.
“Every time I come here, it’s like filming a spy movie.” Xin Zixing complained.
Huang Kairen hugged Xin Zixin from behind, smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Huang Kairen told Xin Zixin about his conversation with Zheng Huairen.
Xin Zixing curled his lips and said: "His thoughts are almost like those of Sima Zhao. Why bother? He is trying to sow a relationship between you and Lu Yanhe so that you can remember your love for starring in "Wulin Gaiden" on them."
Huang Kairen lowered his head and smiled, "They have other plans later. Ask me to act."
"What kind of play?"
"An ancient puppet." Huang Kairen said, "The main thing is to help them bring in new people."
"It's a human drama." Xin Zixing asked, "Did you agree?"
"I said read the script first." Huang Kairen smiled, "I have been acting in dramas for the past two years, and I am also thinking about whether to take on another drama for fans."
" You can think about it, but you still have to read the script, and don’t let it happen when the time comes. Gungun, you have ruined the reputation you have accumulated over the past two years."
"Yeah." Huang Kairen nodded, "I finally rejected "Rouge Button" before, and Yan He may be interested in me too. Some opinions.”
“Then you think too much, Yan He doesn’t. He is that kind of person. He wanted you to act in this drama before, and he really thought you were suitable. If you didn't want to act, he would naturally have your considerations. He is also an actor himself, and he knows whether to cooperate or not is not a matter of one or two words. "Xin Zi. Xing said, "Besides, aren't you going to act in "Wulin Gaiden" again soon? He is also one of the screenwriters and producers of this drama, and they are also cooperating."
Huang Kairen hugged Xin Zixin, a little jealous, and asked: "Why do I hear him from you every time? , are all such good reviews without any shortcomings?”
"The main reason is that I have interacted with all kinds of people in your entertainment industry. There are too many weird people. Meeting someone as talented as Yan He is like meeting a rare treasure." Xin Zixing said, "You don't even know How many weirdos are there in your entertainment industry?”
“Don’t be stupid. There are no weirdos in any industry or circle. Am I the weirdo?” Huang Kairen hugged Xin Zixin and kissed her on the side of her cheek. , asked with laughter.
Xin Zixing calmly pushed him away and said, "You still have the nerve to say it."
Huang Kairen was stunned for a moment, looked at her with confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xin Zixing said: "How long are we going to have this secret love affair? It's like an underground war."
Huang Kairen suddenly realized, with a helpless smile on his face.
"I said, as long as you want to make it public, we will make it public at any time." He said, "Before, my agent was worried that my announcement of my relationship would affect my career, but my situation has stabilized in the past two years. , It won’t have much impact.”
“Let’s make it public,” Xin Zixing said.
Huang Kairen was stunned.
Xin Zixing said: "I don't want to be sneaky like this anymore. Now the two of us are getting busier and busier at work. If we have to hide from others like this every time we meet, it will be a tiring life. It makes me feel more tired.”
"Zixing, have you been a little tired recently?" Huang Kairen stepped forward, grabbed Xin Zixing's arm with both hands, and said, "I think your condition is not very good."
"You are very tired. But it’s not because of this that I’m in a bad state. I’m just wondering why Lu Yanhe, a young female artist with so many fans, can openly reveal his relationship openly, but you can’t. "Okay?" How to develop?"
Huang Kairen was stunned, as if he did not expect that Xin Zixing would suddenly have an attack on this matter today.
Every time she talked about this issue in the past, Xin Zixing actually just wanted his attitude, but today she seemed to have made up her mind.
Huang Kairen fell into hesitation and entanglement, "Zixing, my situation is different from that of Lu Yanhe. There is no problem if you want to make it public, but please give me some time. I will talk to my agent Let’s discuss it and see how best to disclose it to minimize the impact, okay?”
Xin Zixing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Huang Kairen said.
Okay, okay, at least the situation is much better than the worst case scenario she preset.
At least Huang Kairen did not refuse or avoid this problem.
“Okay, three months, is it enough?” Right?"
"Okay." Huang Kairen nodded.
-
Lights out late at night.
Xin Zixing was already asleep, lying next to Huang Kairen, breathing evenly.
Huang Kairen looked helplessly at Xin Zixing's face, who was so close at hand.
In fact, after being together with Xin Zixing for so long, Huang Kairen had long regarded Xin Zixing as the love of his life who would get married in the future.
It's just that these few years happened to be the most critical years for his career development.
The popularity has reached its peak, but the acting career is undergoing transformation.
Starting from "Golden Age" and two consecutive dramas, his anxiety has been reduced a lot, and he knows that he is still capable of going further.
An actor, especially a male actor, at this time, must know whether he has the ability to support more complex and rich characters.
Huang Kairen also thought about when to disclose the news to Xin Zixing.
It's just that the attitude of the agent and the company has never been supportive, and he can't ignore the thoughts of the company and the agent.
But he himself felt that if Xin Zixing cared about this matter so much, then he would be able to do it, so he should not find any excuses to escape.
How much impact will publicity have on his career?
Huang Kairen was confused.
Actually, Xin Zixing said something that slightly touched his heart today.
Xin Zixing asked him: "Why can a young female fan like Lu Yanhe openly reveal his relationship with so many artists, but you can't?"
Huang Kairen wanted to say that because Lu Yanhe does not have to rely on fans to make a living, He is the strongest His fans are not young people, but passers-by who like him because of his college entrance examination scores and being a student at Zhenhua University. His greatest confidence is not his achievements as an actor, but his role as a blockbuster movie like "Six People" Biographies of key figures in the work.
But these words sound like excuses no matter what.
So Huang Kairen didn’t say a word.
He knew that Xin Zixing had already suffered a lot of grievances because of this incident, and he could no longer use his own embarrassment to make her continue to suffer.
-
“It’s true?!”
Lu Yanhe opened his eyes wide and looked at Huang Kairen in disbelief.
Huang Kairen was surprised and asked, "Have you known this for a long time?"
On this day, Huang Kairen made an appointment with Lu Yanhe just to talk about this matter, but Lu Yanhe's The reaction was beyond Huang Kairen's expectation.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "I guessed a little bit before, mainly because I met you and Sister Zi Xing in the same place several times. Later, Siqi and I met you two together. Your reaction made us It all feels a bit...well, it doesn’t seem like a work relationship.”
Huang Kairen lowered his head and smiled. , said: "That's it, I thought we both did a good job keeping secrets."
Lu Yanhe said: "You two did a good job keeping secrets. I can find out. It's purely a coincidence. . ”
Huang Kairen smiled and sighed, and talked about his problems with Lu Yanhe. "I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, and you're the only one I can talk to." He told Lu Yanhe about the problems he encountered, "Zixing wants to make it public. I also feel that we have been together for a long time. If It’s not fair to her that I keep it secret because of my work.”
Lu Yanhe said: "Siqi and I were secretive for a long time before we made it public. It was really inconvenient. We were afraid of someone filming us wherever we went."
"Then we have been hiding it longer than you." "More."
"Brother Huang, what is your hesitation? ?”
“It’s not hesitation. I have already thought about it clearly. No matter how big the impact is, I have to give an explanation to Zixing.” Huang Kairen said, “I just came to ask you, you decided at that time. Aren’t you worried when it’s public?”
“What are you worried about?”
"It affects your work." Huang Kairen said, "After all, in our industry, things like love will more or less affect the fans' view of us."
"Well, I'm worried." Lu Yanhe nodded. He admitted, "But I think it's good to make it public now, because I feel that I have been studying for the past few years. Mainly, I never thought of focusing on filming. Even if it had an impact, it would not have a big impact. I had already started writing scripts at that time, and the psychological burden was not that big. "
Huang Kairen said: " Then you are worried...that your fans don't like your girlfriend?"
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Huang Kairen sighed, "On the one hand, my agency does not want me to make it public. They want to maintain the status quo. On the other hand, many artists will face judgment from many people once their relationships are made public, and even It's like a detective's investigation. Many things that could have been reduced to big and trivial matters ended up being infinitely magnified. , just die in the light. I am not so worried about anything else. I am just worried that others will find fault with Zi Xing and magnify her shortcomings. She is not a public figure, unlike us, who has accepted facing the public since she debuted. Evaluation training. Once it is made public, she will face a completely different world than before."
"You always have to face it." Lu Yanhe didn't hesitate at all, "Brother Huang, unless you withdraw from the circle, as long as you want to be with Sister Zi Xing, you can't never keep it public, then she will always have to face the world , sooner or later."
Huang Kairen was stunned.
Lu Yanhe said: "Besides, Brother Huang, I don’t think you should underestimate Sister Zi Xing, she is one of the most awesome women I have ever seen."
Huang Kairen did not expect Lu Yanhe He would actually comment on Xin Zixing like this, which made him laugh.
Lu Yanhe said: "Brother Huang, don't think I'm telling lies. When Sister Ziyan and I reviewed the story, we both said that if Sister Zixing hadn't made "City Travels" It was impossible for me to gain such a large base of fans in the documentary column at the beginning. My popularity was established through the college entrance examination, but my first batch of fans in the true sense actually came from live broadcasts and live broadcasts in those few months. I accumulated it through "City Travels" and other things, especially the idea that I am a somewhat artistic star. Although I don't think so myself, that's how it is in the eyes of many people, whether it's "City Travels" or me. , she still helped me make "Jump Up", she was very decisive and did what she said without compromising on my career. ”
Huang Kairen listened to Lu Yanhe's words and nodded thoughtfully.
“Actually, Brother Huang, Sister Zi Xing must care about you very much.” Lu Yanhe said, “I can clearly feel that many of Sister Zi The work is closer to you and can provide you with more help.”
“Yes, I know”
<. br>Lu Yanhe said: "She has been with you for so long, and she doesn't know anything about the entertainment industry. I believe Sister Zi Xing must have been mentally prepared for your situation."
< br>"I'm relieved to hear you say that." Huang Kairen looked at Lu Yanhe seriously, "Thank you."
He added: "I'm sorry, although you left me the male lead in "Rouge Button", but I finally decided not to act."
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said: "It's okay, Brother Huang, we will do it later There are other opportunities to collaborate again, like "Wulin Gaiden"
Huang Kairen nodded.
"I have finished reading the script, and I will go all out to play the role of Bai Zhantang well. Don't worry, I will definitely live up to this good script you wrote."
Lu Yanhe He laughed and nodded, "Brother Huang, apart from the fact that you are so handsome, I have never worried about your other problems."
Huang Kairen asked: "Can you act?"
Lu Yanhe said: "I should be able to play the role of one of the units."
"I heard that you will join the unit next month ”
“Yes, the new play "Silent River" directed by Chen Lingling. ”
“Starting with Zeng Qiao?”
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Huang Kairen said: "I have also seen the script of this play, and I went to fight with the director at that time, but the director said that Zeng Qiao had already been appointed to play the role. It is a pity, otherwise we would not have done it this time Then you can act as a rival."
"In the future. There are other opportunities, Brother Huang." Lu Yanhe smiled at him, "Didn't I promise you that there will be a movie for the two of us in the future?"
"Okay. , then I will wait for your script to come out." Huang Kairen said with a smile.
-
After Lu Yanhe finished chatting with Huang Kairen, he followed Chen Siqi, who had returned from Jiang Guang, to have dinner at a newly opened French restaurant.
Chen Siqi saw a recommendation about this restaurant on a public account. He wanted to try it, check in, and then write a review on the food recommendation account.
Lu Yanhe told Chen Siqi about Huang Kairen and Xin Zixin.
Chen Siqi's eyes also lit up, "Sure enough, I'll just say it."
Lu Yanhe asked: "Do any of my fans usually come to scold you?"
"Not many, there are a few, and I can cope with it. Anyway, when I have nothing to do and I'm in a bad mood, I can vent my emotions with them." Chen Siqi said nonchalantly, "You're okay, you My girlfriend has relatively few fans, not that much It’s offensive. You may not know that your casual fans and career fans make up the majority of your fan base, unlike other artists who have so many die-hard fans.”
Lu Yanhe: “Really?”
"Probably Because you are not following the ordinary route of attracting fans." Chen Siqi said, "You may not know that you have a big black mark for young people." "Huh? They were all stunned and asked, "What are the black spots?"
"You are the type of child from other people's families. You are often used as a role model to inspire today's young people, but you also know that many young people People don’t like role models.”
"Okay." Lu Yanhe didn't even expect that he had such a dark spot.
"The main reason is because your status in the hearts of parents is too high." Chen Siqi smiled, "Your character as a top student is impregnable and unbreakable."
"Okay."< br>
"By the way, for this summer special issue, guess how many have been sold?" Chen Siqi asked.
Lu Yanhe guessed: "140,000 copies?"
This is based on the usual sales of "Jump Up" plus a little bit of speculation.
But Chen Siqi shook his head and said, "It's better. So far, 160,000 copies have been sold."
"So many?"
"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "Finally, it's the second anniversary."
"Cheers to celebrate that our "Jump Up" is still thriving."
"Cheers."
The smiles of the two people were reflected in each other's eyes.
Chen Siqi said: "I hope that "Jump Up" can one day exceed the sales volume of 200,000 single copies."
Lu Yanhe asked: "With the electronic version, it has exceeded it, right?"< br>
“With the addition of the electronic version, it has exceeded Passed." Chen Siqi said, "Actually, the electronic version sells faster than the physical book, but according to our survey, the proportion of reading the physical book is much higher than that of the e-book. Nearly half of the readers who bought the e-book Not finished.”
"Such a high proportion?"
"Yes." Chen Siqi said, "So, in fact, the reader retention rate of the electronic version is not very high. A large proportion of the users who purchase each issue are from What are the celebrity articles and interviews in the current issue and whether there are any new works by their favorite authors?"
Lu Yanhe understood and nodded.
"If you make statistics like us, the number of e-book purchasing readers Liu Zhiyin can bring is between 2,500 and 4,000. With such a large number of readers, they basically only buy the one with her column. Issue. The electronic version has this advantage and can do a lot of data analysis. "Chen Siqi said with a smile, "And Li Zhibai can bring about 8,000 new sales."
Lu Yanhe was surprised.
"Can data analysis be so accurate now?"
"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "But it takes people like Li Zhibai and Liu Zhiyin who publish articles from time to time to make effective statistics, like Teacher Jia Long, who has only attended one issue, cannot compare accurate data.”
Lu Yanhe: "Then such data...will it affect which authors we invite to write articles for us in the future?"
With such precise data, it does not mean that we can analyze which ones readers like. Instead of identifying authors and works, they can accurately analyze which authors have the most fans. This is almost completely quantifiable "carrying sales".
Chen Siqi said: "Yes, but I have not shared this data with all editors. It is mainly in my hands. I am afraid that after everyone gets this data, they will use it to rate the author. Wait.”
“This is not good.”
“Yes, we must continue to cultivate new authors, and we must always support the authors who are creating. Many authors must be cultivated slowly, and they must be cultivated with current methods. Using the number of reader purchases at each stage to characterize them will make everyone ignore the space for future growth. "Jump Up" is another magazine that hopes to continuously discover and cultivate new authors," Chen Siqi said, "So, I don't plan to share this data with all editors. I will keep it myself for my convenience. Make some judgments and decisions."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Siqi: "Oh, by the way, Liujiazhen came to see me two days ago."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe asked, "What's wrong?"
The author of "Nineteen Years of Crime" is now a popular figure in the publishing industry.
Chen Siqi said: "It seems that the filming of "Nineteen Years of Crime" encountered some problems. He wanted to ask if it is possible to get the copyright back."
"Huh? What happened? Why did he have this idea? "
"It seems to be a magic change of the script," Chen Siqi said, "I'm looking for it too. The legal department helped him read his contract, and also helped him communicate with Jiangyin Publishing House, but it was not of much use. There was no way. The terms in the adaptation contract were very clear. The script adaptation was a normal creation and did not constitute a contract. Invalid basis."
Lu Yanhe said: "The original story of "Nineteen Years" is so good, why did it need to be modified?"
"I heard that there were actors on set who wanted to change the script. If one changed it, the other one also had to change it." Chen Siqi said, "I don't know the specific situation. Liujiazhen didn't know until the matter was brought up." ( End of chapter)
