Lu Yanhe had never heard of the conflict between Longyan Pictures and HP's current head of the Asia-Pacific region.
Of course, this is nothing unusual.
Although film and television are art, people who make films and television are essentially businessmen.
Conflicts and frictions are inevitable when doing business.
However, Mrs. Huang was a little uncomfortable doing this. If he hadn't asked Tom White in advance, if Tom White hadn't told him directly, he might have been kept in the dark and done bad things with good intentions without knowing it.
We arrived at the last stop, Director Wang Zhong’s company.
Lu Yanhe and Tom White watched the first cut of "Rouge Button".
The initial editing of "Rouge Button" lasted nearly three hours, and no special effects or post-production work was done yet. However, the English subtitles have been preliminarily produced, and Lin Yu and He Lan helped to make it.
Both of them are very good at English, not just capable of daily communication.
When the original version was cut, Lu Yanhe was actually a little surprised, because compared with the original version in his memory, the lens, picture and style were so similar, as if they had formed a tacit understanding. Xuan contrast.
However, Wang Zhong handled the movie scenes with less resentment and more sadness of the passage of time.
-
The first cut is very long, nearly three hours, and many of the shots and rhythm are much slower than the original. To put it simply, it is not so "commercial" , a little more artistic expression.
Things aside, the development of the entire story and the feeling of the characters are very similar to when Lu Yanhe wrote this script.
Especially Huang Kairen——
Chen Bige's good behavior was expected by Lu Yanhe.
Huang Kairen came to play this role. Although he believed that Huang Kairen could do it, he was still sweating. But in the movie, he seems to have acted.
His acting style is different from Leslie Cheung's suave style in his memory. Fortunately, it is different. Otherwise, Lu Yanhe was worried that he would feel that Zhu Yu was ahead of him and incomparable.
Huang Kairen's performance in "Rouge Button" is more like the feeling Takeshi Kaneshiro had when watching Zhang Ziyi dance in "House of Flying Daggers".
A son from a rich family, cynical and careless, he only shows some affection when he gets along with Ruhua in private, such as looking at Zhou Xun in "If Love".
Love is true love, no need to question it. Liangbo is really Liangbo, and because of the careless and casual feeling about him, he is even more sarcastic.
Lu Yanhe realized that Huang Kairen had taken a more dangerous path. He did not handle this character beautifully like Leslie Cheung, handling it in such a way that the audience felt that cowardice was human nature. They were only angry, disappointed, but also had a vague understanding of it.
Huang Kairen did not beautify the Twelve Young Masters in any way, and his acting ability and style cannot be beautified. The basic conditions are there. Not everyone is Leslie Cheung. However, ambitious actors will strive to create a three-dimensional character in their own way.
The Twelve Young Masters played by Huang Kairen are cynical and suave on the outside, holding hands and deeply affectionate on the outside, but timid and retreating on the outside, unable to accept it.
After reading it, it only makes people feel that his tenderness towards Ruhua may be true tenderness, but before his life and death, it was just tenderness destined to be scattered.
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that when the screening of the original cut was over, when Lu Yanhe was about to turn his head to look at Tom White, he found that the latter's eyes were red and there were tears.
Tom White took a deep breath and said to Lu Yanhe: "This is really a heartbreaking story."
Lu Yanhe suddenly remembered, oh, these foreigners, it seems I have a special liking for this tragic love story in the Chinese cultural context.
Especially "Rouge Button", which tells the story of a woman who stubbornly waits for someone for hundreds of years... Lu Yanhe took a breath. Well, such a story is no longer up to date in the current Chinese film market, but for foreigners, this kind of "love will last forever" type of story that takes place in another cultural background. The tragedy of love plays into their hands.
Tom White's love for "Rouge Button" actually has a very strong personal flavor.
Of course, Lu Yanhe was very happy no matter what.
Afterwards, Director Wang Zhong also took the time to meet with them.
After meeting Director Wang Zhong, Tom White immediately expressed his feelings as a movie fan.
Wang Zhong sent a set of Blu-ray discs of "Three Mountains" signed by himself to Tom White.
Tom White accepted the gift almost carefully, then quickly picked up the gift he had brought, and said: "Director, this is the "Remaining Tail" you shot before in the United States twelve years ago. The first version of the DVD was released. You said in the interview that one day you would be able to collect a set of DVD versions of your director's works that have been released in various countries. I hope you like it. ”
At this moment, Wang Zhong was stunned.
"The Remainder" is a movie he shot more than ten years ago. The number of DVDs sold in the United States is very small. He doesn't know the exact number, but it certainly does not exceed 10,000 copies. He didn't even have this set himself, but today Tom White actually brought it over.
Wang Zhong couldn't help but get excited.
"Wow, this, this... is really meaningful."
Lu Yanhe glanced at Tom White in surprise.
This gift is really thoughtful. When Tom White said that he was a long-time fan of Wang Zhong, he was not just saying it casually.
To give such a gift, you must first read Director Wang Zhong’s interview and know what he wants. You must also know what Director Wang Zhong has already collected and what he has not. Finally, you must also He has the ability to get a DVD version that even director Wang Zhong himself has not gotten.
To put it simply, there is a lot of thought behind giving such a gift.
-
For the past three days, except for classes, Lu Yanhe has been accompanying Tom White all the time.
Finally, after Tom White met Director Wang Zhong, his trip to China came to an end.
On the way to send Tom White to the airport, Lu Yanhe said: "Tom, next time you come to China, remember to tell me in advance."
"This trip to China has allowed me to see "It's a lot, and the harvest is great," said Tom White. "I hope that when I go back this time, I can convince the headquarters to sign a long-term cooperation framework with you like Northern Lights Video."
Hear from Tom. When White said this, Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and didn't expect it.
Tom White said: "If HP wants to develop the Asian market, we must cooperate with the best creators from various Asian countries. Yan He, it would be great if you could invite me to China this time. It also allowed me to see the current film and television production situation in China, allowing me to understand it with my own eyes.”
Lu Yanhe: "I'm glad to hear you say that."
-
HP's upcoming head of Asia Pacific Tom White came to China for a tour and was personally received by Lu Yanhe. This news It was not only spread in the Chinese film and television circles, but also reached the ears of Maxine’s Zhong Benzhuo.
Now Zhong Benshuo will no longer doubt.
He immediately became nervous and contacted Lu Yanhe immediately.
"You want to watch a movie now?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
Zhong Benshuo said: "Yes, Yan He, if it is suitable, we can sign the agreement now. We don't have to wait until it is broadcast to consider overseas broadcasting."
Lu Yanhe really didn't expect that Tom White's visit would arouse Zhong Benshuo's sense of crisis.
Lu Yanhe said: "Mr. Zhong, the two films that have been filmed so far are both movies. The filming of "Squid Game" that you are concerned about has not started yet."
As for what "Squid Game" is In fact, Zhong Benzhuo had known about the project for a long time. If he really wanted to buy it in advance, he would have taken action long ago, without waiting until now.
Zhong Benzhuo was speechless again.
He was hesitating.
He hesitated whether Tom White had reached an agreement with Lu Yanhe during this trip.
Maybe they have signed an agreement a long time ago?
It is also possible that Tom White did not like these projects and returned empty-handed.
Zhong Benzhuo actually didn't want to make a decision so early. I haven’t seen the finished product yet, so if I buy it in advance at this time, I might just get it. After all, Maxine cannot enter mainland China and can only do business outside mainland China. If the things he shoots are not good and the data is ugly, it will be his failure.
With Zhong Benzhuo’s hesitation, Lu Yanhe actually knew Zhong Benzhuo’s true thoughts.
In fact, he was afraid of being overtaken by Tom White, and he was also afraid that he would suffer a loss.
Lu Yanhe: "..."
At this time, Lu Yanhe suddenly realized why he had always been a little repelled by Zhong Benzhuo, not as impressed as he was by Tom White.
Because Zhong Benshuo gives him a strong sense of a businessman, and his words, actions, and attitude towards him are full of a sense of calculation, while Tom White gives him a sense of more respect for creation and creators, which is not so obvious. , a sense of utilitarianism that is ready to come out.
People, of course you can be utilitarian, but it's best not to act so utilitarian.
Seeing that Zhong Benshuo was silent, Lu Yanhe was too lazy to make excuses with him, and said, "Mr. Zhong, if you haven't thought about it clearly, let's talk about it later. Indeed, the movie hasn't been filmed yet. Let's talk about cooperation now." "Things are not stable, understand."
When Lu Yanhe made it clear, Zhong Benshuo looked a little embarrassed, but Lu Yanhe couldn't see it.
After telling Zhong Benzhuo about this matter, Lu Yanhe put down his mobile phone and went to watch the Northern Lights video.
When it comes to discussing cooperation with HP, he, Lu Yanhe, is actually not that strong yet. He who can really talk about cooperation from a relatively "you come and I go" position is Northern Lights Video, which also has a large library and The big video company for creators.
“I don’t mind if you use a few of my projects as guinea pigs to try to cooperate with HP.” This time, Lin Desheng, the boss of Northern Lights Video, was also there. This kind of project involves the strategic development of the company. He must be there for things, Lu Yanhe said bluntly, “Because of the policy, , overseas streaming media like HP cannot be directly launched in our country. This is a sure thing. At present, it will basically not change. However, HP very much wants to open up the Asian market, and this market will definitely include our mainland China. Then HP cannot come in directly, just like Maxin e, you can only earn some copyright fees by licensing each work with a domestic video platform."
"Well, but some copyright fees are related to the real core of interests of a video platform-members. "It's a drop in the bucket," Zheng Huairen said immediately, "HP wants to enter Asia." The market, especially the mainland Chinese market, is definitely not a small target for this copyright fee."
Lu Yanhe nodded, "Yes, but the current prospects are like this, so under this premise, Since people have demand for our domestic market, we can also take advantage of this demand. Please open up overseas markets. I am just giving an example. If, I mean if, Northern Lights Video and HP Video sign a cooperation framework and make a separate film library list, the works in the list will be open to each other. There is no need to add another film. Talk about cooperation one by one, saving each other a lot of time and energy, press play Increase the volume or the number of players or recruit new members, etc... In short, how to divide the interests is the indicators you care about. Make a formula. This is what you have to communicate. However, under such cooperation, HP's works Through you, we can enter our market on a large scale and communicate with the audience. meet, and Northern Lights’ works can also be truly exported overseas through HP.”
“This kind of cooperation model has also existed before,” Zheng Huairen said, “Our domestic video platform has also cooperated with overseas companies. Streaming media and film and television companies have had similar cooperation, but in the end they did not last Continue. The risks of this cooperation model are very high. To put it bluntly, in this kind of cooperation, everyone will definitely feel that they have suffered a loss and the other party has taken advantage. It may be fine in the first and second years, but in the later years, everything will be fine. There will be unclear accounts, no one trusts anyone, and eventually it will fall apart.”
"Mr. Zheng, this ending proves one thing." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "I was just making ideas on paper, but what you said tells everyone that this kind of cooperation model is actually not without profit prospects and success. As a result, it ended not because the audience didn’t buy it, but because of internal problems between the two parties.”
Zheng Huairen was stunned.
“I still think that we can take our time with this kind of cooperation. The film library does not need to be very large at the beginning. We need to explore first and build trust with each other. This is also exploration.” Lu Yanhe said, “Our scenes will impress them. What kind of publicity was there there, how did their drama come to us? What kind of publicity, how much investment is needed, and what kind of results can be achieved? Only by trying it out bit by bit can you have the confidence to carry out larger-scale cooperation in the future. Of course, this is just me. A little thought, not only HP, but also other video platforms Same."
He looked at Lin Desheng and said, "Mr. Lin, the reason why I would take the liberty to make such a suggestion is because many of my future film and television projects will definitely be international. The global sales route is not limited to the domestic market. There is a cooperation framework, and the cooperation is going smoothly at present. The demand for overseas channels is not only needed by me, but also by you, so I suddenly proposed such an idea, a concept of cooperation, just in the hope of attracting attention. "
Lin Desheng nodded.
Lu Yanhe didn't know whether Lin Desheng agreed with the idea he proposed, and to what extent.
However, this is indeed what Lu Yanhe really thinks at this moment.
Everyone is talking about going global and publishing their works overseas, but how and where? I'm out, is anyone watching?
Because there is no successful precedent, no one knows whether this road will work.
Only Lu Yanhe knows that in the context of globalization and on a broadcast platform like streaming media that dominates most of the world, so-called cultural barriers can be overcome.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe is unswervingly determined to let his works go out.
-
Among the projects that Lu Yanhe is currently cooperating with Northern Lights Video, "Squid Game" and "Wulin Gaiden" are the most important, and "Rouge Button" only has a little investment, just for fun.
However, in addition to film and television projects, Lu Yanhe also had an "unexpected surprise" that made Northern Lights Video very popular, and that was "Confessions on a High Platform" which was produced for the promotion of the movie "Late Spring". Now it has become an important project of cooperation between Tiaoqi Company and Northern Lights, with extremely low cost in exchange for high returns.
People at Northern Lights Video find it incredible that such an idea has become an evergreen program, with the number of views in each episode exceeding 10 million. Occasionally, the content of an episode will explode. , exploded on the Internet, and even the number of views for that episode reached tens of millions.
It is truly low cost and big return.
Such a program alone can bring tens of millions in revenue to Northern Lights Video and Jump Up Company every year.
Of course, compared with those S+-level programs, the income is much less. Their income may start at 100 million. However, the key is that the production cost of "High Stage Confession" is so low that it is almost The most powerful thing about this program is that there is no risk of losing money.
The kind that really makes money from an idea.
This idea was thought up by Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi.
Because Lu Yanhe is so famous in film and television dramas, almost no one noticed that in the column of screenwriters of the program "Confessions from a High Platform", Lu Yanhe's name was ranked second, and Chen Siqi was first.
But the Northern Lights Video people will not ignore this anyway.
Zheng Huairen suddenly spoke and said, "Yan He, actually, if you come here today, we also want to talk to you about other cooperation."
"Other cooperation?" Lu Yanhe was a little confused. She frowned in surprise and looked at him in confusion.
They had never mentioned this to him before.
Zheng Huairen said: "We heard that Xin Zixin, the former producer of "City Travel", was hired to a new company established by your agent."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe looked at him in surprise. At a glance, "That's what happened, but Mr. Zheng, does this have anything to do with what we are talking about today?"
Zheng Huairen smiled. , said: "We heard that the reason why Xin Zixing was poached was to serve the company's customers, some very wealthy artists who have faded and want to become popular again, or who want to have another big hit. Artists, to put it simply, tailor-made variety shows for them to help them become popular again."
Lu Yanhe snorted.
“We also heard that you will be the planner and writer of these shows.”
Lu Yanhe knew what they were planning.
Lu Yanhe looked at them with some surprise.
-
After the Northern Lights video came out, Lu Yanhe couldn't help but express his feelings to Chen Siqi immediately about how fast the Northern Lights video responded.
After Chen Siqi heard about it, he laughed: "It seems that "Confessions from a High Platform" gave them a taste of the sweetness."
"I really didn't expect it." Lu Yanhe's focus was not on this at all, so when Zheng Huairen solemnly proposed to him that he wanted to sign another cooperation agreement with him in program production, Lu Yanhe really Didn't expect that.
Chen Siqi: "Actually, I think this is a good thing."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Chen Siqi said: "On the one hand, this can help Sister Ziyan's company attract very powerful partners. This itself also requires the support of a video platform, as you know. On the other hand, you Think about it, even if you have starred in so many dramas, there are still many artist friends that you have to reject. Sometimes, people really need your help in their careers, but you can’t do it out of pretense. The compatibility of the product, script and characters really cannot be forced and can only be rejected. Now if you can have a stable channel to produce programs and let them become popular through this channel, they can actually achieve their goals, not necessarily I have to act in your role.”
Chen Siqi’s words suddenly opened up Lu Yanhe’s Rendu veins, and he reacted instantly.
"That's true."
Chen Siqi: "Actually, you are talented in making programs. You have done so many designs for "Young Days" before, and the feedback you received in the end was also very good. The same goes for "Confessions on the High Platform" this time. Although you just mentioned an idea to us casually, it is this idea that can make this show possible. "
Lu Yanhe smiled coquettishly.
Just kidding, he also watched a lot of programs before he traveled through time.
Even if you haven’t watched it all from beginning to end, you have heard about the essence and highlights of each program.
Lu Yanhe didn't just "mention an idea casually", but he could only "mention an idea" and asked him to fill in the content and enrich the details, but he didn't know.
Lu Yanhe said: "It is indeed a pleasure for me to cooperate with Northern Lights Video. They want to cooperate with me in this area, and of course I am willing, but it is not my final say. After all, I don't have the copyright owner of the program. I've made an agreement with them to make an appointment later. Please tell me. Let’s talk together, Sister Yan.”
“Yeah.” Chen Siqi said, “Every time you say that my ambition is getting bigger and bigger, I don’t think you are any better than me. "
Lu Yanhe thought that because of the golden finger of the time traveler, he had endless "creative" treasures.
You are a native, and you can have all kinds of interesting ideas popping up in your head. You are much better than me.
Lu Yanhe couldn't say these words to Chen Siqi, he could only laugh.
Chen Siqi suddenly sighed relaxedly.
"When I finish classes this semester, I will be a senior and about to graduate." Chen Siqi said, "Suddenly I feel a little stressed."
"Huh? Pressure?"
"Well, I always thought I was a student before, doing "Jump" "Get Up" or something like that, even if I really screw up in the end, it doesn't matter. After all, I am a student, and I have such a retreat in my heart. But I will no longer be a student in the future, and I can't leave this to myself. Psychological retreat ”
Chen Siqi's words made Lu Yanhe fall into deep thought.
It turns out that Chen Siqi still has such thoughts.
But yes, he will be a senior soon.
Then, college will graduate.
Of course, if other people heard what the two of them were feeling now, they would probably complain that they were crazy.
After all, they are only in their junior year and are already thinking about their graduation.
-
The Picaro Film Festival has concluded. Unfortunately, "Night Run" did not win the prize in the short film competition.
However, what followed was media reports that HP had acquired the exclusive global streaming rights to "Night Run" for seven figures. This transaction price made news in all major media.
A short film basically cannot go to theaters. In the film and television system, it is not the kind of work that can make money. However, HP would spend seven figures to buy the exclusive streaming rights of "Night Run", which is surprising. , stupefied.
When this news reached the country, everyone thought again of the recent news that Lu Yanhe received Tom White, the incoming head of HP's Asia-Pacific region. Their thoughts were surging, and there were only two big words left in their minds: No wonder.
Actually, this matter really has nothing to do with Lu Yanhe.
This deal was negotiated as early as Bikalo. This deal was not negotiated by Tom White as the specific person in charge. Of course, he must have contributed to the situation behind the scenes. The high reputation of "Night Run" in Bikalo and Wang Zhong's popularity and influence in the hearts of movie fans around the world are the key reasons why HP gave such a transaction price.
Can make money.
Short films are short films and they can still make money.
In the era of streaming media, users are gold mines, traffic is passwords, and clicking to play is a money counting machine.
While the transaction price of "Night Run" has attracted widespread attention, it has also attracted everyone's attention once again to Lu Yanhe's commercial value.
Lu Yanhe knew that the key was not with him, but others didn't know that.
Now everyone in China may feel that this matter is inseparable from Lu Yanhe and Tom White’s trip to China.
-
“Oh, I really don’t know what to say.” Lu Yanhe himself was helpless. After class, he came to Chen Ziyan and complained to her, “Why does everything have to do with me? Why don’t I You know I’m so powerful.”
“Remember what I said before? At your current stage, even if something has nothing to do with you, as long as it has a little bit to do with you, others will think it is. It has something to do with it, not to mention You and Tom White didn't hide this trip, everyone knows it."
Chen Ziyan took a cup of prepared latte from the coffee machine and brought it to Lu Yanhe, "This is also a good thing, just. Let everyone think that you have a good relationship with Tom White. In the eyes of others, the more cards you have, the less they dare to go against you."
Lu Yanhe said: "No one is there now. Are you against me?”
"There will always be a big tree that attracts the wind, and a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Chen Ziyan said, "You can't see your opponent now because you didn't let them catch the handle. Once they catch it, they will launch an offensive." It will be overwhelming and you won’t expect it.”
Lu Yanhe was shocked.
"So scary."
Chen Ziyan nodded, "But you are on the right path now. Make friends. There is no harm in having many friends. I am very happy that you have taken so many photos. After all, you didn’t become enemies with others. On the contrary, most people became your friends.”
Lu Yanhe laughed.
Chen Ziyan: "Now the filming of "Unfortunately" has been completed, "Squid Game" will start shooting soon, and "Wulin Gaiden" is expected to start shooting in the middle of this year. Basically all projects are in the process of advancement. What will you film next? Have you thought about it? The movie "Fire" that came to you before, will you accept it?"
Lu Yanhe: "I'm not sure, Sister Ziyan, I don't know if I want to act in it."
Chen Ziyan said: "If you are not sure, then I I would recommend you take it."
"Huh?"
"That's the same thing, because this is a commercial blockbuster," Chen Ziyan said, "and this movie is still good. There is a benefit, it looks for your character instead of Ichiban, but Shang Yongzhou, which means you don’t have to handle the box office. To be honest, I don’t know if you can handle the box office of commercial blockbusters now. You can act as the second male lead, and you don’t have to face too much. A lot of pressure.”
From a long time ago, Chen Ziyan told him that he must act in a commercial blockbuster.
Hearing this, Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Then do you think this script and this story can be made into a movie?"
"I'm actually very optimistic about it." Chen Ziyan said, "This is from Longyan Pictures His specialty is fantasy blockbusters. Although the reputation of fantasy blockbusters in China has always been average, and there are no particularly explosive or classic works. But this is a part of the film industry that cannot be ignored, and Longyan Pictures is doing very well, has rich experience, and has achieved good results in the past. In this kind of subject matter that is destined to be very expensive, none of their movies have the same quality. If you lose money, you can make it back at the theater box office."
Lu Yanhe understood what Chen Ziyan meant.
"Okay, then let's act." Lu Yanhe said, "Anyway, I don't have any other movies to join the cast next."
The second season of "Seventeen Floors" is still being written, and filming is expected to start next year .
"Miss Ning" has been missing since the funds were cut off. All the congratulatory letters went to France and she has not been in China for a long time. Lu Yanhe felt that it might be difficult to make this movie again.
A bit of a pity.
Miao Yue is still revising the script for Liu Bige's new spy film. Moreover, he is currently preparing for the romantic comedy film starring Li Zhibai, so the new spy film will be moved to a later date.
Lu Yanhe, who was originally busy, suddenly had no projects to join the team.
So, it’s okay to play "Fire".
What Chen Ziyan said made Lu Yanhe take it very seriously -
He can't just be a movie actor who acts in art films, low-budget movies, or works by new directors.
-
After learning that Lu Yanhe finally relented and agreed to sign a contract with "Burn Fire", Mrs. Huang immediately called Lu Yanhe.
"That's great, Yan He, you are willing to join our movie. Believe me, you will not be disappointed." Huang Tai said, "With your joining, this movie will definitely be better. Okay."
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Mrs. Huang, you are so polite. I'm glad to have the opportunity to shoot this movie together. This is my first time shooting this type of movie. There is a lot to prepare and learn."
Tai Huang said: "If you need anything, just ask. I said, I will help you arrange it."
Lu Yanhe hurriedly agreed.
After talking to Mrs. Huang, Lu Yanhe immediately called Shang Yongzhou.
"Brother, I decided to sign a contract with "Burn Fire"."
Shang Yongzhou was a little surprised, "So fast?"
"Well, look and see, This movie project is the most suitable for me at the moment,” Lu Yanhe said, “Can you act?”
“I’m still hesitant,” Shang Yongzhou said, “I haven’t acted in a movie like this for a long time. .”
Shang Yongzhou has acted in many such visual blockbusters in the past, but in the past two years, he has acted less. The main reason is that his status has been firmly established and he no longer needs to rely on the box office results of such blockbusters to promote himself.
Lu Yanhe said: "I was actually quite moved by this story."
"Well, its emotional contagion is very strong." Shang Yongzhou also said, "Actually, if it is this It would be nice if the script could be more literary."
"Huh?"
"That's what I told Mrs. Huang and others. He said that the screenwriter is still revising the script, and I also said to wait and see. "Shang Yongzhou said, "The current script is good to look at, but the lines, dialogue and characters are still a bit thin. That's not to say. It has to be complicated and have twists and turns, but it does lack a sense of completeness. At least when I read the script, I couldn’t picture this character in my mind.”
Shang Yongzhou has extremely high requirements for scripts, which Lu Yanhe felt when filming "Road to Glory" with him.
Actually, the script is not about how complicated or twisty it is, but about a feeling. It was like a Japanese movie "Little Forest" that Lu Yanhe had watched before. It basically had no plot. It just talked about a young girl growing fruits and vegetables, cooking, making wine and other very daily things in the countryside. As a result, Lu Yanhe watched it from the beginning. By the end, I didn't feel bored at all.
What are the criteria for a good script? It may be difficult to give a quantitative indicator of one, two, three or four, but at least a good script will have a clear understanding in your mind after reading it, well, Know it well.
Shang Yongzhou smiled again and said: "Mrs. Huang called me. She probably wanted to tell me about your agreement to sign the contract and persuade me to sign the contract."
Lu Yanhe Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Then I'll hang up first."
"Yes."
Lu Yanhe hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.
Magic blockbuster?
Lu Yanhe actually thought of a story in his mind.
If it weren't for Chen Ziyan's reminder, Lu Yanhe wouldn't have thought of it for a long time.
However, at that time, this movie was actually one of the domestic fantasy blockbusters and had a relatively good reputation.
"Painted Skin".
Perhaps after filming "Fire" and seeing the filming site of the magical blockbuster, he can write the script for this movie?
Anyway, the story of "Liao Zhai" has already been filmed a lot.
The story of "Painted Skin" has been made into a TV series in this world, but it has not yet been made into a movie.
Because the story has been known to everyone for a long time, everyone feels that if such a story is made into a movie, not many audiences will watch it.
But Lu Yanhe knew that the movie "Painted Skin" actually retained the core element of "changing hearts", and other stories were re-created.
It can be completely filmed into a brand new story.
New wine in old bottles.
Lu Yanhe created a new folder called "Painted Skin" in his laptop and put it here first to avoid forgetting it.
-
In a day or two, the nomination list for the new Red River Award was announced.
The Red River Award, held every March, will also be held as scheduled this year.
Lu Yanhe was nominated for Best Actor for "Seventeen Floors", while Chen Bige and Li Yuefeng were nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor for this drama.
These were all expected nominations.
Unexpectedly, it is the second season of "Six".
The second season of "Party of Six" has just finished airing. This time at the Red River Awards, even though it was nominated for the Best TV Series, it was not nominated for the Best Director Award.
Someone asked why, and an insider answered directly that Bai Jingnian’s name was not on the registration list.
At this time, everyone suddenly noticed something. Bai Jingnian was no longer in Beijing.
He went to the Northern Lights video.
Fans of "A Company of Six" were immediately blown away.
You know, during the broadcast of the second season, there was a lot of criticism. Only director Bai Jingnian received a lot of praise. At that time, many people said that when the script and lines were written so bloody, the director We are still working hard to keep the original flavor of the first season in the second season. It is not easy. You can see the director's efforts, trying to use camera language to weaken those bloody plot developments and preserve the warmth of this drama. , warm atmosphere.
Because of this incident, Beijing and Taiwan were scolded by fans of "Six" and became a hot topic.
When Lu Yanhe learned about this, he couldn't help but cursed.
"It's really short-sighted. Just because Director Bai Jingnian went to the Northern Lights Video, you won't sign him up for the Best Director Award? Haha." Lu Yanhe curled his lips, "It's really nonsense."
Wang Biao nodded and said, go along.
“Smallness has gone to the extreme.”
“Isn’t this just looking for scolding?”
-
Bai Jingnian looked at the hustle and bustle on the Internet and the beeps on his cell phone that almost never stopped after the commotion happened. He sat in his office and was in a daze in silence.
Many friends sent messages to comfort him.
Bai Jingnian doesn't really want to reply to these comforts now.
Beijing and Taiwan did not even submit his name for the Best Director award, which was something he never expected.
After all, he has worked hard in Beijing and Taiwan for so many years, and he is an old man.
This made Bai Jingnian feel as if a cut had been cut in his heart, and he felt as if he was bleeding.
Bai Jingnian really wanted to call Beijing and Taiwan to ask what they thought.
The phone rang again.
This time it’s not a message, but someone calling.
Bai Jingnian took a look and saw the three words "Lu Yanhe" displayed on the screen. He hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Director, are you in a good mood?" Lu Yanhe asked straight to the point.
"It's okay, just a little disappointing."
"Sigh, I don't know if my experience can comfort you." Lu Yanhe said with a hint of teasing in his words.
Bai Jingnian suddenly remembered that the conflicts between Lu Yanhe and Jingtai were much greater than him.
At that time, Beijing and Taiwan's "blockade" of Lu Yanhe was also vigorous.
Lu Yanhe said: "I hope you will not be affected by this incident. We will have "Wulin Gaiden" later, and this drama can also help you win the best director."
Bai Jingnian laughed when Lu Yanhe said this, and his depressed mood eased a little.
“I don’t actually care that much about whether I win an award or not. I have been filming for so many years.”
“I don’t have to care in my heart, but I still have to win the award. You see , the eyes of the people are sharp, and the viewers of "Six" can see how much you have contributed to the second season of "Six""
"But the audience can see it, but they can't see it either." Bai Jingnian still couldn't hold it back and said angrily.
Lu Yanhe said: "They can't see because they are blind. If they were not blind, they would not let you go."
These words entered Bai Jingnian's heart.
"Thank you."
"Thank you for what, director." Lu Yanhe said, ""Wulin Gaiden" will definitely become a work that is not inferior to "Six People". By then, No one will question your ability as a director and turn a blind eye.”
“Actually, it’s all because of the good script you wrote.”
“It’s understandable for my fans to say that, but if people in this industry still say that, it’s really ridiculous. " Lu Yanhe said, "We have all seen it. Wow, how many good scripts are turned into bad films by a single director every year. If a screenwriter could handle everything with just one script, I would have made my salary as a screenwriter higher than my salary as an actor.”
< br>Bai Jingnian laughed.
“The screenwriter is very hard-working, very serious, and very talented, and there needs to be a director who can make it happen.” Lu Yanhe said, “TV dramas are not the art of words, but the art of the lens. The person who controls the lens The person is not the screenwriter, nor the actor, nor the photographer, but the director who has shouted with a loudspeaker or not. "
Bai Jingnian took a deep breath after listening to Lu Yanhe's words.
"Yan He, thank you for coming to comfort me. Your words really comforted me."
"I believe, director, wait until next year or the year after that, you will come back to see what happened today, just I would tell it as a joke." Lu Yanhe said, "Just like when I look at what happened with Jingtai now, it is definitely not my joke, but Jingtai's joke."
Bai Jingnian's heart was aroused by Lu Yanhe's words.
"You are right, let this become a joke for Beijing and Taiwan, not for me."
Lu Yanhe: "Director, let's work hard together!"
"Well, come on!"
-
Lu Yanhe hung up the phone, took a deep breath, rubbed his aching head, and thought to himself, why has my brain started to hurt recently? Is he overthinking things?
You won’t get gray hair, right?
He quickly ran to the mirror to check.
After confirming that he still had black and shiny hair, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, looking at myself in the mirror, I was stunned.
Wait, what happened to him?
Why does this move look so Li Zhibai? -
