Because they came back early, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan were not present at the closing ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival, but they were watching the live broadcast together.
After all the films in the main competition have been screened, which films are in the first tier and which films are in the second tier are basically revealed.
"Late Spring" has a good reputation and good media response. However, basically no one thinks it can win the award.
Mainly because the depth and thickness of the movie itself is lower than other movies.
The main reason why "Late Spring" has received such high praise is that its main creative staff are all newcomers. No matter where they are, newcomers are more tolerant and encouraged.
And until the awards ceremony started, Lu Yanhe didn't receive any news, so he knew that the Best Actor award had nothing to do with him.
It is the practice of international film festivals that if you win an award, you will receive a call asking you to go back to attend the award ceremony.
After knowing that he really could not win the award, Lu Yanhe no longer had any thoughts and concentrated on watching the award ceremony.
The awards ceremony at the Venice International Film Festival does not have so many fancy things, it is really just an awards ceremony.
Some speeches, some acceptance speeches.
Many of the winners were excited.
This is also a moment that Lu Yanhe likes to watch.
It is often at such moments that we can see true feelings revealed.
However, some of the previous awards were not as good as "Late Spring".
This made Lu Yanhe’s expectations higher and higher.
This means that the prize for "Late Spring" is definitely coming.
When he heard that the winner of the jury award was "Late Spring", Lu Yanhe instantly let out a cheer.
Chen Ziyan smiled happily.
“I won the grand prize, good!”
The Silver Lion Award is the second largest prize after the Golden Lion Award.
During the live broadcast, Liu Bige and his actors hugged excitedly.
Many people applauded at the scene.
After Liu Bige came on stage, holding the trophy, he was so excited that he didn’t know what to say for a long time.
Lu Yanhe had seen a lot of his gentleman side in the past, and rarely saw him lose control like this.
Sure enough, there is no truly calm and calm person in this world. All decentness is just because you have not yet encountered the arrow that really hits your destiny.
Now, this arrow shoots at Liu Bige.

The news that "Late Spring" won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival immediately made headlines in various media.
At the same time, Chen Pinhe also regretted missing out on the best actor.
He was so popular this year, but in the end he still couldn't compete with the British actor who was also very popular.
"Late Spring" became the only Chinese-language film to win an award.
Entertainment critic Guan Suchen joked on Weibo: Lu Yanhe’s momentum is unmatched. Starring and supporting roles, as long as he participates in the project, there is no one that is not a hit. This luck, I am afraid there is It’s been a long time since we’ve seen another actor replicate Lu Yanhe’s achievements this year. It’s only September, and two local TV shows A hit TV series with a ratings of over 2 (they are still preparing to produce the second season, which is very likely to create a rare hit series), two movies that won awards at the four major international film festivals, and one Best Director Award. A Jury Prize winner, I can't help but want to know what kind of surprises Lu Yanhe can bring us in the fourth quarter.
Another entertainment critic, Chen Luo, forwarded this Weibo post and said: Lu Yanhe’s fortune this year is really rare for actors in recent years. With "Late Spring" winning the award at the Venice International Film Festival, I think All acting companies and agents who work for twenty-year-old actors have to face the fact that whether it is awards or the ability to handle the box office ("Three Mountains", a movie with a cost of only 17 million, sold more than 80 million), Lu Yanhe will become a mountain that they cannot avoid.
The speeches of several entertainment critics with millions of fans seemed to be vying to be the first, and suddenly Lu Yanhe was promoted to a very high status.
Lu Yanhe was a little confused when he saw it.
ha?
"Late Spring" won the award, but it was not him who won the award. Is it necessary to hold him in such a high position?
Lu Yanhe was frightened when he saw it.
Well, he must admit that he is still a coward, especially afraid of being praised by others. In particular, his road to fame after traveling through time was almost like taking the road he was most afraid of overturning - a road that was both noble and honorable.
This made him reluctant but forced to embark on a path of "image perfection".
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and quickly posted a Weibo message to congratulate "Late Spring" for winning the award, and then reviewed the filming of the film.
“Meeting Director Liu Bige was a complete accident. I was able to star in "Late Spring" thanks to my classmate Miao Yue. She is the original author of this story and the screenwriter of this film. , because of her, I had the opportunity to meet Director Liu Bige, and was chosen by the director to enter the creation of "Late Spring" "
< br>"Well, I'm a big star - that's what everyone said before joining this crew, but after the filming started, the so-called stars, or other things, all remained. Outside the set, this is the shooting atmosphere brought to me by the crew of "Late Spring""
"Director Liu Bige is a great person. He is a person who can give actors confidence very much. Although he is very young, he is very reassuring. I am worried that I will not be able to play this role well. I am worried that my so-called fame will affect the audience's perception of this movie. The other actors are It was my first time to act, everything was unknown, I was even more uneasy and at a loss. He was like an umbrella above each of our heads, making me We can build confidence in performance under the care of protection and encouragement."
"Performance requires a strong sense of belief. This sense of belief is not only that you believe that you are this character, but also that you believe in it. You can act well by yourself. Liu Bige is such a director who can help you do all this."
Lu Yanhe's review focuses entirely on Liu Bige.
Some fans laughed and said: Are you writing a love letter to the director?
Lu Yanhe’s speech has no other purpose, just an idea to let more people know that this movie is Liu Bige’s movie, not Lu Yanhe’s movie.

“Look, Xiao Lu is such an actor.” Luo Yuzhong put down his phone, smiled at the person sitting opposite him, and said, “I have worked with him. He is really a good kid, not the kind of person who would do anything to become famous.”
Luo Yuzhong was chatting with Xie Dao.
Xie Dao is also a director, and he is a director who is older than Luo Yuzhong. He is 70 years old this year and is the president of the TV Drama Directors Association.
Xie Dao smiled and pointed at Luo Yuzhong and said, "Others say that you are a guy who always praises Lu Yanhe when meeting people. I thought that others were exaggerating. I didn't expect that the guy who was exaggerating was you."< br>
"Teacher Xie, after you get to know Lu Yanhe, you will also feel the same way." Luo Yuzhong said, "A He is a genius with no eccentric personality and no restrictions on his acting skills. He can act in any drama. He has high understanding and is not arrogant. For us directors, he is the most coveted actor. ”
Xie Daoxiao. Hehehe asked: "Then why did you ask him to make a movie called "The Golden Age" and didn't make any other movies?"
Luo Yuzhong said: "If I look for him to film again, why should I give him a starring role? But in the scripts I have prepared, there is no male lead at his age. If I look for him for supporting roles, he will definitely come. Acting, but that’s so boring, I’m going to take advantage of a child?” That's right, actually speaking it is I haven't come across a suitable role that can fully utilize his acting skills. Alas, unlike movies, if a TV series of this size takes a twenty-year-old boy as the protagonist, it will only be in "Sixteen" or "Seventeen". "Layer" kind of light-hearted comedies or genre dramas, generally more serious dramas, the male protagonist is at least thirty years old. It's a pity. Director, if you make a film in the future, is there anything difficult that requires him to be at this age? It's an actor who plays the role. You're right to find him. . Although I only filmed one film with him and it didn’t take long, I watched him grow up step by step. I watched almost every one of his films.”
Xie said: "Hey, I've never seen you appreciate someone so much "Young man."
"After my child finished filming, he always remembered me and respected me. He called me every year and during holidays, and even asked people to send me things. It was a small matter, but this concern was Precious." Luo Yuzhong said, "Especially. In the past two years, you have watched him rise slowly, become more popular month by month, win awards, have record-breaking ratings, and the media has all kinds of praise for him. He has everything. His humble attitude is a little bit... No less, people are not only thinking about me, Chen Lingling , Wang Zhong, they are all the same. I met Liu Zeliang two days ago, and he mentioned that Lu Yanhe has never lost contact with him since he finished filming "The Golden Age". He is not only like this to me, he is a kind-hearted child. .”
Xie Dao: "It's a kind-hearted child who thinks about you, haha!"
Luo Yuzhong: "Then it's kind-hearted if you don't think about us?"
Xie Dao sneered. , glared at Luo Yuzhong.
Luo Yuzhong laughed again, "So, you have to come out and say that you can no longer let those people deliberately exclude him from the awards. Whether it is "Sixteenth Floor" or "Seventeenth Floor", his His performances are all remarkable, and it may be difficult to win an award, but based on the influence of the series and the difficulty of the character's performance, he is fully qualified to be nominated. You see, even his performance in "Late Spring", this Once in Venice The Sri Lanka International Film Festival has been regarded as a strong contender for the best actor by many foreign media. This means that I am not bragging, right?” It is indeed very popular and has great influence, but the artistic level of these two dramas is not high. If he really did not get the nomination, it may not be because someone is deliberately squeezing him out as you said. "
"If I hadn't really heard some rumors, why would I have come to see you?" Luo Yuzhong said, "I really regard Xiao Lu as my student. Putting this aside, our film and television industry has created such a It’s not easy for young people. If these two dramas are not of high artistic quality, then why is Li Yuefeng on the preliminary list? Don’t ask me how I saw the preliminary list. Anyway, it’s there? That's what happened. When we originally created this award, we wanted to avoid all influences and simply give a list of the best from our director's point of view. Unexpectedly, it has now become an award for everyone with their own selfish motives. ”
What Luo Yuzhong said was the nomination list of this TV Drama Directors Association. "Six" and "Seventeen Floor" are both major nominees.
The TV Drama Directors Guild Award is not one of the three mainstream awards, but because it is an award voted for by directors, it is very valuable in the industry.
No registration is required for the TV Drama Directors Guild Awards. As long as they meet the requirements, they will automatically be included in the awards.
This year’s TV Drama Directors Guild Awards Ceremony will be broadcast live on CCTV and will be very influential. Luo Yuzhong only appeared on Xie Dao today because he heard some voices that should not have appeared in the decision-making of the nomination list. here.
As president of the Television Drama Directors Guild, his influence on the award is extraordinary.
Xie said: "A young man who has been publicly praised by you and that girl Lingling, whose voice is so effective that it can block his way?"
"He is standing on the moral high ground. Well, it must be said that the artistic achievements of these two dramas are not high, and the characters are not three-dimensional." Luo Yuzhong sneered. , "To put it bluntly, it is to clear the way for your own people, especially for Best Supporting Actor. Yan He also acted in "Phoenix Stage", but he was not included in the preliminary list, but Lang Kequn's son was included. This is What’s the point, don’t you have eyes?”
Xie Dao’s expression became serious.
“Mr. What a joke." Luo Yuzhong said sincerely.
-
Lu Yanhe didn’t even know that Director Luo Yuzhong was silently working hard for him.
He was dealing with an unexpected guest and thinking about how to deal with her.
Zhang Lan came to see him again.
When he received the call from Zhang Lan, Lu Yanhe originally wanted to refuse, but he directly said that he had already arrived at the school gate and was waiting to see him.
Lu Yanhe couldn't even push it away.
Zhang Lan came here for the role of Tong Xiangyu in "Wulin Gaiden".
"The attitude of Northern Lights is unclear. It has been a long time since I encountered a scene that I actively wanted to win and was left out." Zhang Lan looked at Lu Yanhe and said, "Yan He, Tell me the truth, don't you want me to act?"
Lu Yanhe was stunned, "Huh?" At this moment, his acting skills were astonishing, "How could that happen, Sister Lan?"
Zhang Lan looked at Lu Yanhe's expression and said, "Is it because of Jiang Yuqian's relationship that you don't want to cooperate with me?"
Lu Yanhe showed a helpless expression and said, "Sister Lan, you too Actors, others say that we can influence many things, but you understand, do you think I can really have the final say 100% in the casting of a drama?”
Zhang Lan had a doubtful expression on his face and said: "But I heard that there are two roles in this drama that were decided by you."
"I didn't decide, I recommended it, and the choice is Northern Lights. "Definitely, I don't have that much ability." Lu Yanhe said directly, "Actually, if you want to do this, Northern Lights has come to communicate with me."
"Then what do you say?"< br>
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Sister Lan, actually it doesn't matter what I say. Sister Ziyan said something that day. I think it makes sense, and it made me enlightened in an instant."
Zhang Lan frowned. , asked: "What did she say?"
Lu Yanhe said: "You and I both It belongs to Star Entertainment. No video platform will let me serve as a producer and screenwriter at the same time, and then find a top-tier actress like you to be the heroine. Such a creative structure will be a huge constraint. The video platform has control over this drama.”
Zhang Lan is not a fool. She has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she understands these things more or less.
She fell silent, and Lu Yanhe didn't know if she was convinced.
Zhang Lan asked: "Okay, I won't talk about the drama "Wulin Gaiden" anymore. Let me ask you, if I am interested in your future dramas, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Lu Yanhe nodded, "Of course I do, but, Sister Lan, the scripts I write are never The heroine is mainly a group portrait. In fact, you can tell from "Six People" and "Wulin Gaiden", would you be willing to play the role?"
Zhang Lan said: "I won't play the role of Tong Xiangyu? Are you taking the initiative to fight for it?”
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Zhang Lan: "Yan He, don't underestimate me and think that I am just an arrogant, shallow actress who can't play anything other than a great heroine. How can I fight with your good sister Jiang Yuqian for so many years? She would have stepped on it without even having two brushes.”
Zhang Lan curled his lips slightly, seeming to be sarcastic.
Lu Yanhe didn’t know how to answer such words for a moment.
"Okay, we really can't work together on "Wulin Gaiden", so let's see the opportunity next time." When Zhang Lan said this, his tone suddenly softened a little, and asked: "How is your health? I saw you walking out a little bit strangely."
"You are recovering. I hope you can recover as soon as possible." Lu Yanhe smiled helplessly.
Zhang Lan: "There is another thing. I also heard about it, so I will tell you. I can't guarantee whether it is true or not."
Lu Yanhe looked at Zhang Lan doubtfully.

"TV Drama Directors Guild Award?"
Chen Ziyan paused on the phone and said: "I know about this award. This award was more than ten years ago. It was established. To say how influential it is, it is definitely not comparable to the three mainstream awards, but It is quite valuable in the industry. After all, it is an award selected by all the directors of the association."
Lu Yanhe said: "Zhang Lan told me that the preliminary nomination list for this award has been released and has not been officially announced yet. , but none of my three plays are on it.”
The three plays here refer to "Phoenix Terrace", "Six People" and "Seventeenth Floor".
Chen Ziyan: "The TV Drama Directors Guild Awards do not require producers to register. As long as the dramas are officially broadcast on TV stations or video platforms, they will automatically be included in the selection. The committee will then select the nomination list, and then all the dramas will be selected. Members vote."
"Committee?"
"The committee of the Directors Association is an organization responsible for all matters in the association, and it is elected every five years," Chen Ziyan said, "This matter. I still I haven’t heard the news, so I have to go and find out. If it is true, then it will have a big or small impact on you.”
Lu Yanhe’s “Phoenix” was previously nominated for the Golden Tripod Award. "Taiwan" was not nominated for Best Supporting Actor There is also the theory that because he had already won this award the year before, he would no longer be nominated without a big breakthrough. Although many people are unwilling to accept this statement, there is still a reason for the so-so, and it is not that he dropped out inexplicably. nominated.
But this time, none of the three dramas was nominated for a single acting award. Such a result will definitely arouse a lot of discussion.
Needless to say anything else, the Directors Guild’s attitude towards Lu Yanhe reflected behind this award will become a point for Lu Yanhe’s black fans to attack him - no matter how much he is praised by the media, But the directors didn't approve of Lu Yanhe.
Sometimes, as long as there is a reason, all kinds of slanders and doubts will follow.
Lu Yanhe has the Golden Tripod Award in hand and a Silver Lion Award trophy like "Late Spring", so he will not be really shaken by this statement.
But too many flies are still annoying, even disgusting.
-
Lu Yanhe thought that it would take some time for Chen Ziyan to find out the relevant information. Unexpectedly, after just over two hours, the information about Chen Ziyan came out.
As soon as the phone call came through, Chen Ziyan said: "Yan He, we really have to remember what Director Luo Yuzhong has done for you."
Lu Yanhe suddenly heard this sentence and his head turned. Confused, she had no idea what Chen Ziyan was talking about.
“Huh?”
What does this have to do with director Luo Yuzhong?
Chen Ziyan said: "I have inquired about the matter clearly. What Zhang Lan told you should be true. In the past two days, Director Luo Yuzhong has specially made it clear that you are not included in the preliminary nomination list. , communicate with people on the committee After several attempts, the president of the association was invited to express gratitude, and finally it was decided that starting from this term, the nomination list would also be voted on by all association members, which meant that the previous preliminary list was invalid and had to be started over.”
< br>Lu Yanhe was surprised.
“Has Director Luo done so many things?”
“Yes.” Chen Ziyan said, “The key is that he has done so many things and he didn’t even mention it to you and me. than anything.”
Luo Yuzhong did so many things out of his love for Lu Yanhe and his disdain for the ways of some people. He had no other selfish motives, and it was not because Lu Yanhe remembered his love.
But now that Lu Yanhe knows about this, he has to write down this feeling no matter what.
Chen Ziyan sneered again, "If Director Luo hadn't pushed this matter to change, according to the original list, Lang Xia was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but you were not, it would be really ridiculous."< br>
The character Lang Xia was indeed quite popular when the drama was aired, but in terms of acting skills and reputation, from the time it aired to the end, it was far inferior to the bodyguard played by Lu Yanhe.
Especially the scene in which Lu Yanhe's character is offline is one of the most watched and popular scenes in the whole drama.
Lu Yanhe was embarrassed to praise himself for being a better actor than Lang Xia, so he didn't answer.
After listening to Chen Ziyan’s complaints, Lu Yanhe was about to hang up the phone. Chen Ziyan added: “There is another good news. Jiang Zixin from Northern Lights Video just contacted me, probably because “Late Spring” won the award. Because of this, your vision is once again gilded, and Northern Lights agreed to build Tongfu Inn in Jiangzhi."
At this moment, Lu Yanhe felt a surge of excitement from deep in his heart.
"Really? Great!"
Chen Ziyan said: "Go and report the good news to your Brother He."
Chen Ziyan's voice also revealed joy.
She is not like Lu Yanhe who simply wants to help Jiangzhi be known to more people.
Chen Ziyan feels that if it can really promote the economic growth of Jiangzhi and turn it from a poor small place into a popular tourist attraction, then Lu Yanhe's golden status will be more stable.
Even, this is linked to helping local areas get rid of poverty.
From "City Travels" to "Wulin Gaiden", if Jiang Zhi really became popular, wouldn't Lu Yanhe just use his own power to do such a great thing?
Chen Ziyan's ideas are very utilitarian. Of course, she never thinks there is anything wrong with being utilitarian.
She did not harm the interests of others, she just hoped that everything would be profitable.
That’s good.

On September 12th, "Late Spring" suddenly announced that it would be scheduled for November, the National Day holiday.
It seems like a very irrational move for a youth literary film to compete with a lot of blockbusters in such a schedule, but it still chooses this schedule, for no other reason than to take advantage of the Venice International Film Festival. Everyone still remembers this film When a movie wins an award, choose a recent good time slot and let it wait for you in the cinema.
At this time, the distribution and publicity capabilities of Longyan Pictures, a large company, were highlighted.
Although it is scheduled to be released on November 1st, "Late Spring" will be screened on a small scale starting from September 20th.
During the period before National Day, no new films entered the market, only old films and low-cost new films entered the market. "Late Spring" relied on point-of-care screenings and could get about 5%-7% of the day's sales every day. Film placement rate.
Liu Bige started a road show with a group of actors.
Longyan Pictures spent tens of millions of promotional funds on this film, which cost only a few million. Because it won the award, its box office target jumped to tens of millions.
On the one hand, it is a road show, and on the other hand, it is placement in sinking channels.
Longyan Pictures edited some of the materials of "Late Spring" into short video materials of about ten seconds, and pushed them to the short video market for large-scale marketing.
Finally, it’s all about Lu Yanhe’s star role.
Due to his physical condition, he only participated in one of Yuming's road shows, and all subsequent publicity tasks were interview-based.
Moreover, Long Yan also directly approached Chen Siqi and asked "Jump Up" to tailor a promotional package for "Late Spring".
A total of two million worth of publicity funds were given to Chen Siqi's "Jump Up".
Lu Yanhe was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect Long Yan to be so generous.
And Chen Siqi lived up to expectations and did not just take money and do nothing.
She created a publicity that made everyone in the industry pay attention. (End of chapter)
