Chapter 426 Bonus Life


In this video, it’s almost as simple as slapping Nagayama Kazuzo’s nose and scolding him, “You’re just a very low film critic.”

Chen Siqi’s action pushed the number of views of this video to over 10 million.

There is no way. When it comes to criticizing Japanese people, the domestic online environment often shares the same hatred and hatred. Not to mention, what Yong Shanhe San did was disgusting and even shameful.

Kawazo Nagayama’s reputation in the international film critic circle is certainly not as good as that of Tom Wynn of Variety magazine and Marion Tucci of French Film magazine.

The two of them are backed by the most influential film magazines in the world, and have accumulated a large number of readers with their film reviews.

And so do other film critics.

Chen Siqi inviting them here is enough to establish the reputation of this forum.

-

“Look, as soon as Lu Yanhe was attacked by Yongshan Hesan, Chen Siqi was able to fight back right away and slapped Yongshan Hesan in the face openly.” Someone laughed online, “Also Someone asked Lu Yanhe why he couldn't think of making a paper magazine besides " "Jump Up", is there another media in China that can stand behind Lu Yanhe so unscrupulously and help him speak out?"

The role played by "Jump Up" this time is the first time that Everyone has seen its significant role in the public sphere and in helping Lu Yanhe fight the public opinion war.

In the past, it was just a magazine editorial department. No matter how well it did, including film and television promotion and marketing, it was the icing on the cake. But this time, it showed its side as a sharp sword.

Thus, people who thought they were aware of the value of "Jump Up" discovered a fact that shocked them: they were far from understanding how important "Jump Up" was to Lu Yanhe.

-

Yong Shanhe San angrily wrote a column in the latest issue of "Off Screen", which wrote:

Lu Yanhe used "Jump Up" as the editor-in-chief to go to What is the difference between organizing a film critics forum to discuss young filmmakers and their works and those rich people who pay people to sing their praises?

Chen Siqi wrote on his overseas social media account: Spend money to hire people? Did Nagayama Kazo underestimate the objectivity and professionalism of the world's top film critics, or did he usually work for a fee, so it was natural for him to speculate on others with such vicious malice?

When Yongshan Hesan saw Chen Siqi's speech, his cheeks turned red with anger.

Domestic netizens saw this and sighed:

——The editor-in-chief is bullying foreigners who don’t understand the market. Even Yu Jiang can’t criticize her. How dare he Yong Shan He San , telling lies with your eyes open? Isn't he afraid that Editor Chen will criticize him so much that even eighteen generations of his ancestors are unwilling to recognize him as an unfilial descendant?

This sentiment has over 10,000 likes.

Domestic netizens have seen Chen Siqi's fighting power many times.

It stands to reason that Yu Jiang is already a person who is very good at fighting with each other, but she is defeated in every duel with Chen Siqi, which is enough to show how terrifying Chen Siqi's fighting ability is.

-

Privately, Lu Qingzhen and Chen Ziyan laughed and said: "These two young men and women, one can talk and the other can argue, together they feel invincible and how much public relations money they save. "

Chen Ziyan sighed: "Can you believe it? ? Not long ago, I advised Wang Biao to read more. Do you think I advise people to read more? Just because I know them, I now subconsciously believe that if people read more, they will not suffer any loss, and they must read more. , Only in this way can you become stronger in all aspects.”

Lu Qingzhen laughed.

"Of course it is right to read more books, but Chen Ziyan, you are so interested in Wang Biao, why are you planning to leave Lu Yanhe again?" Lu Qingzhen asked.

Chen Ziyan: "No, I just have to train a reliable agent for Yan He. His career will get better and better in the future, and I can't concentrate on him alone." , he must have an agent who can take care of his specific affairs wholeheartedly."

Lu Qingzhen: "You, you are still the same you, so whether Chen Bige or Shang Yongzhou can maintain such a good relationship with you after breaking up with you, but Xiao Lu is different from them at that time. It's so the same. They didn't have as much trouble as Xiao Lu back then. Now he has your share in a film and television production company. , Our high-end service company also has his share, and it’s not that easy to break up.”

“Who said I have to break up with him?” Chen Ziyan said, “I just don’t like to give everything to myself. All their energy was devoted to one person, but Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou had reached the point where they could not accept it. If my agent is also managing others and I cannot fully devote my energy to serving only one of them, then of course I will get along well with them. As for Yan He, if I really don’t want to be his agent in the future. Yes, there are still other ways of cooperation, just like these two companies.”

Lu Qingzhen: "I don't know if Xiao Lu will let you change your mind."

"No." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "Qingzhen, you know me, my past has destined me to never change my mind." My career and life only depend on one person. No one can change this."

Lu Qingzhen was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she thought of, and sighed.

She asked: "Have you told Xiao Lu about your story?"

"No, and I don't plan to." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "Don't tell your story like a movie or TV show. It’s the same as a play, the more viewers the better.”

Lu Qingzhen burst into laughter.

Lu Qingzhen: "Actually, Xiao Lu is really similar to you, very similar."

Chen Ziyan: "Really?"

She thought about it, yes.

Lu Yanhe is also a person who has high demands on himself and never lowers his demands.

Lu Yanhe is also a person who really relied on himself to achieve his current achievements.

Lu Yanhe is also a person who has experienced a lot and has gone through thousands of sailings, but he can still maintain his original intention and face the world with goodwill.

Chen Ziyan said to Lu Qingzhen: "I see a momentum in him."

"What momentum?" Lu Qingzhen was curious.

“The hardware conditions for our Chinese-language film and television dramas have actually reached world-class levels, and the market is the same. You see, we have also produced movies worth more than 5 billion yuan, which is about 600 million yuan when converted into US dollars. , the foundation has been laid. In the next ten years, it may really be the rise of Chinese-language film and television dramas on a global scale. "It's been ten years since we started," Chen Ziyan said, "We used to talk about going overseas, but things were not that good, and we could only pretend to go overseas. Now our products have gradually reached first-class standards, and the general environment is there, but there are only a few things that can't be done." People who lead this trend really go global, and I see this momentum in Yan He.”

Lu Qingzhen did not immediately agree or respond, but fell into deep thought. After thinking seriously for a moment, she said: "Zi Yan, this is actually very difficult. We have felt many times in the past that Chinese film and television dramas have reached a stage where they can go overseas. But every time I mobilize people to go abroad, I can't get the support of those overseas. This is not only a problem of hardware, but also a problem of cultural differences and other aspects. I even opened I began to think about one thing: does it have to be spread overseas? Even if there are no overseas audiences, our own market is already big enough, why do we have to seek favor and recognition from overseas? "

" On a larger scale, this is human civilization—no civilization can avoid it. Whether you talk about expansion of consciousness or vanity, there is no civilization that does not want other civilizations. Realistically speaking, in this era of globalization, no country can settle down and work behind closed doors,” Chen Ziyan said, “Film and television are a very important part of it, and as many film and television people, there is no other way. Yes, their driving force is a sense of identity and honor. This may be tacky, but that’s what many people say. We are already very powerful, so why must we. Going overseas to prove one's strength is not the same thing as saying that only those recognized overseas are good. You also know that this is not what I mean. It is something that is very good for us and is innate. The desire, especially for the good things in our own culture, is to be seen and recognized by people from other cultural backgrounds.”

Lu Qingzhen took a deep breath.

“Not every group wants to prove that their group is definitely better than other groups, but absolutely no group is willing to see their group considered inferior by others.” Chen Ziyan said, “ Me too, all Chinese The same goes for people in the film and television industry. Why do their film and television dramas seem to be top-notch in the eyes of overseas people, while our Chinese-language film and television dramas are shoddy?”

Chen Ziyan expressed her feelings sentence by sentence, This is also the common sentiment of many people.

"Cultural identity." Lu Qingzhen said these five words thoughtfully.

“It is not only self-identity, but also the identification of others.” Chen Ziyan added.

-

As for the day of Yongshan Kasan, this film critic who everyone shouted to beat was living in a particularly embarrassing situation these days.

The reason for the embarrassment is naturally because of Chen Siqi's several blatant slaps in the face.

Yongshan Kazo used to speak out, and was often ridiculed, saying that he deliberately made shocking remarks and talked about topics that would attract attention.

He doesn’t care. Anyway, what he said can indeed attract attention, and it can indeed gain a lot of recognition. In particular, it is often difficult for those who are attacked by him to fight back.

Whether they think too highly of themselves or have other reasons, they will not openly confront him.

Thus, Yongshan Hesan gained a reputation as someone who dared to speak and no one dared to be angry.

It just so happened that this time, he met Chen Siqi.

Every time he attacked, Chen Siqi would find a more condescending angle to counterattack.

This time it was even more murderous, expelling him from the ranks of "the world's top film critics".

This is attacking his foundation.

Yong Shanhe San was furious, but he could only jump on the spot.

When it comes to connections, resources, and influence, they are not his advantages in themselves. His biggest advantage is that he dares to break up and say anything without fear of offending others. But Chen Siqi has all these advantages. And what he didn't have, Chen Siqi also had.

The most important thing is that Chen Siqi immediately accepted an invitation from a Japanese publishing house and announced that he would lead several Chinese writers to Japan for cultural exchange activities.

He was humiliated by Chen Siqi here, but people in his country were extending an olive branch to the person who humiliated him.

At this moment, one can imagine the anger in Yongshan Hesan’s heart.

What made him most angry was that the Chinese actor Huaiqian he chose didn't even care that he was lucky enough to be on the list, but openly expressed his disdain for him.

If it weren’t for him, who would have noticed that little-known actor!

-

Huaiqian sneezed twice in succession.

The agent quickly looked back at him and asked, "Don't you have a cold?"

"No, no." Huaiqian shook his head, "It's strange, my nose suddenly felt very weird just now. Itchy.”

The agent felt relieved.

"You must not catch a cold at this time. The audition for "Fire" is coming soon. You have to stay in good condition."

"Yes." Huaiqian nodded.

The agent said: "Although Yongshan Hesan is shameless this time, he also helped us and increased your popularity, just in time to win the role of "Burning Fire". At this time, we are also lucky "

When Huaiqian heard Yongshan Hesan's name, he immediately curled up his lips, "This man is petty, but just because Lu Yanhe refuted him twice, he held a grudge against Lu Yanhe and took revenge on him. Our country’s most representative Isn’t it crazy that he chose me instead of Lu Yanhe, a young actor with great potential? I don’t want to be bound to him, and I will be tricked by him sooner or later.”

Agent: "You are right, and if we If you really express your happiness and gratitude for being on this list, you will really be laughed at. Let’s be honest, our future is indeed bright, but we still can’t compare with Lu Yanhe.”


Huaiqian hummed.

"Lu Yanhe is the second male lead in "Fire" this time. If you win this movie, you can work with him." The agent suddenly thought of something, "So, this time you Being accidentally involved in this crisis is really a lucky thing.”

“Lucky?”

“Think about it, you and Lu Yanhe worked together. Because of this, how big a gimmick should the movie be? Of course Longyan Pictures will also consider this factor,” the agent said, “This is our country’s largest commercial film in recent years, and we need to create an all-star cast. There are several lines in the role, and there are countless people competing for each one. Isn’t this your advantage?”

When Huaiqian heard this, it was indeed the case.

-

A blockbuster like "Fire" is also a magical blockbuster with Chinese culture as the background, and it has always been the most eye-catching.

It is difficult for a film like this to succeed, but every time a film like this is approved, it will inevitably attract attention.

After all, blockbusters still have a different meaning to the film industry.

This is the embodiment of the highest technology in the film industry.

Huaiqian came to the audition place and saw many actors in the waiting room. Several of them are even quite famous and popular actors, including the three starring roles of Chen Jiang, Wang Lu and Sui Fang in "Three Mountains", and Yan Lingyu, Kong Fan and He Qingqing in "Late Spring", all of whom have worked with Lu Yanhe. Yes, Huaiqian immediately became worried. When the difference in strength is not obvious, will Lu Yanhe's thoughts affect the final decision?

Just as I was thinking this, suddenly, the popular first-line actor Li Yuefeng walked in under the escort of his team.

He did not stay in the waiting room, but was led directly to the front.

He even came to audition? Huaiqian was shocked. Does Li Yuefeng still need to audition?

For a popular first-line actor like Li Yuefeng, Huaiqian couldn't imagine that he would also need to audition. However, this is only the first one. Soon after Li Yuefeng, another person appeared, Yin Xincheng, who was already popular in "Six People", and Lang Xia, who has gained great momentum in the past two years.

......

Huaiqian suddenly realized something. Each of these people was more or less related to Lu Yanhe. Thinking about it again, it's normal. These works starring Lu Yanhe are all big hits. It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, all the actors in a blockbuster movie benefit from it.

Lu Yanhe is not only very popular himself, he can also make others become famous.

Incredible.

Huaiqian is more or less well-known. But sitting in this waiting room, he was not aware of his advantage at all. Even though two of his films have been shortlisted for the main competition units of the four major international film festivals, in the eyes of critics, he is still a highly promising new star. Otherwise, Nagayama Kazo would not have recognized him.

When it was his turn to go in, he was a little nervous for no reason.

Of the people inside, Huaiqian has only seen Mrs. Huang. Huaiqian did not expect that she would personally audition for "Fire".

As soon as he entered, he heard the people inside starting to talk about each other, and their eyes fell on him with a hint of inquiry.

Of course Huaiqian knows why.

He wasn't sure whether his rising fame in recent days would help or not help this audition.

Mrs. Huang was the first to greet him and said with a smile: "Huaiqian, right? You are very popular recently."

Huaiqian said: "Thanks to the enemy Send me artillery fire."

When he said this, everyone in the room laughed.

Mrs. Huang also laughed.

"So you are also this funny in real life? I saw that the dramas you acted before were more melancholy or bitter and resentful." Huang Tai said.

Huaiqian said: "Maybe it's because I have such a face? But my personality is still more... a bit funny, my agent said so."

Mrs. Huang nodded, "Your play is very good. I have watched your play, but let's try another scene now, shall we? There are two scenes that I want you to try."

Huaiqian Nodding, he took two pieces of paper from the staff and lowered his head to prepare.

Mrs. Huang turned her head and lowered her voice to the person next to her.

"This young man is very good, and his scenes are very good, but we have to see if he can integrate into the style of our movies. His previous scenes were mainly literary films." Mrs. Huang said.

The acting method in literary and artistic films is still different from that in commercial films. The style is different. This is what Huang Tai is worried about.

After hearing this, the people next to me naturally understood.

Knowing that Mrs. Huang was satisfied with Huaiqian in other aspects, she just wanted to see if his acting style was suitable for the movie "Fire".

-

When Lu Yanhe learned that Huaiqian passed the audition and got a role in "Fire", he was quite surprised, mainly because he was surprised by such a coincidence.

Chen Ziyan said: "Huaiqian's acting skills are very good. It's not surprising that he can win the role."

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "However, "Burning Fire" "Auditions are being organized now, what are the specifics?"

Chen Ziyan said: "Let's put it this way, most of the young actors in the entertainment industry have auditioned."

Lu Yanhe was surprised when he heard this. I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Chen Ziyan said: "This kind of blockbuster, from preparation, to shooting, to promotion, to release, lasts for two years at the fastest. Every stage attracts attention. If an actor can join such a film crew, it will This movie has frequently appeared in reports for two years, and it is very likely that other film and television companies will bet on it in advance and give it a film contract."

Lu Yanhe knew that blockbusters are usually exaggerated, but he didn't expect it to be like this. exaggerate.

But it is true. For a literary film like "Path of Glory", all the news comes from the fact that it has two big-name actors, Shang Yongzhou and Lu Yanhe, but the theme and story of the film itself are actually not very attractive.

As for "Burning", its story and theme itself have a very large audience.

Like this audition, although Longyan Pictures did not do any publicity, there were still many media who heard about it and tried to take pictures of which actors appeared at the audition location.

That in itself is an exposure.

For celebrity artists, exposure is like oxygen to humans, it is a necessity.

For some artists, even if you don’t have any works, as long as you are exposed and have a topic, you can still thrive in the entertainment industry and make a lot of money.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Besides Huaiqian, are there any other actors confirmed?"

"There is no other news coming out yet. Mrs. Huang specially called me about Huaiqian. Hello, she wants to confirm with me if we mind Huaiqian coming to star in this movie.”

Lu Yanhe nodded: "The confidentiality work has been done very well, and even you refused to reveal it."

"Isn't it like this with blockbusters? The more secretive it is, the more interesting it is, the more curious everyone will be." Chen Ziyan smiled, "This is why I So, you must star in one or two blockbusters. You don’t have to star in every movie, but you must have one.”

Lu Yanhe nodded: “I fully understand your good intentions, Sister Ziyan. .”

Chen Ziyan smiled.

Another advantage of blockbuster movies is that the pay is high enough, and capable actors can legitimately negotiate for sharing.

Lu Yanhe happened to have such ability.

And Chen Ziyan is the best at fighting for the interests of her artists.

No, the media will soon reveal: Lu Yanhe's salary for the movie "Fire" starring Lu Yanhe exceeded 50 million yuan!

Lu Yanhe felt numb when he saw this number.

Huh?

When these media are compiling news, can they not think about it and just take a random number and blame it on him openly?

The remuneration offer proposed by Chen Ziyan to Longyan Pictures for him was 15 million yuan + 8% revenue sharing. Note that this is a quotation, and the quotation means throwing it out and letting Long Yan chop it down. Because it is now obviously impossible for Lu Yanhe to obtain such conditions.

Long Yan also knew it well. Two days later, he came back with an opinion: 8 million yuan + 3% of the theater box office share.

There is a completely different difference between revenue sharing and theater box office sharing.

The former also includes various copyrights and peripheral development income, while the latter is just a pure share of the theater box office.

Chen Ziyan continued to apply for the second round: 12 million yuan + 5% of the global theater box office share + 30% of the peripheral derivative shares of the character played by Lu Yanhe.

……

The more Lu Yanhe listened, the more complicated it became, because the conditions became more and more detailed.

Of course, Chen Ziyan must be talking based on the market conditions. She has never been the kind of agent who opens her mouth.

After listening to it for a few times, Lu Yanhe felt that he was really confused, so he simply ignored it and just waited for the final result of the negotiation.

In the movie "Fire", the only actors who are truly qualified to negotiate with Long Yan are the male lead, the female lead, and Lu Yanhe, who plays the second male lead. As the first film in this movie series, "Fire", Longyan Pictures definitely doesn't want the risk to be too high, so it must keep the cost under control.

The reason why Chen Ziyan is so anxious to advance Lu Yanhe's salary negotiations is because the candidates for Shang Yongzhou and the female lead have not yet been decided, which means that Lu Yanhe has the greatest space at this time. And if the two actors are settled and negotiations begin, then Long Yan will have more aspects to weigh, and the negotiation space that Lu Yanhe can fight for will become narrower.

As for Lu Yanhe gaining greater interests, it means that the interests of others will be correspondingly smaller - Chen Ziyan is not someone else's agent, so of course she gives priority to Lu Yanhe's interests.

Especially, she knew very well that with Lu Yanhe's current appeal and influence, he was worthy of this condition.

-

Longyan Pictures first issued a statement: Regarding online rumors that Lu Yanhe was paid 50 million for starring in "Burning Fire", relevant media are requested not to spread rumors. We will reserve the right to sue. Let me ask one more question, how did you come up with such an extremely fake number?

Everyone suddenly realized——

Sure enough, this salary figure is fake at first glance, it is too fake.

If Lu Yanhe can get 50 million for starring in "Fire", how much will the leading male and female lead get? I heard that Lu Yanhe didn't play the male lead in this movie.

What? Isn’t Lu Yanhe playing the male lead? Why doesn't he play the male lead?

Who else deserves Lu Yanhe to play the second male lead?

......

After a discussion about Lu Yanhe's salary, the topic successfully shifted to "Why does Lu Yanhe still take the second male lead role?"

Chen Ziyan saw it, sighed, and said: "If Yanhe's traffic can be monetized, Yanhe's hot searches and topics in the past two years still care about a mere 50 million? Let's give it all These platforms take advantage and all the advertising fees go into their pockets.”

Lu Qingzhen said: “You have to say this directly on Weibo.”

Chen Ziyan thought for a moment and said, "I'll post it under a small account."

"What kind of trumpet account should I use? If I want to post it, use a large account and use my identity as Lu Yanhe's manager." Lu Qingzhen encouraged. .

Chen Ziyan: "Don't encourage me."

"Forget it, I won't encourage you, but you have to say what you said. You are right." Lu Qingzhen said, "But you can't I said that I need to find someone to tell me, someone who has little relationship with Lu Yanhe, to let everyone know that the various values ​​​​of Lu Yanhe are high enough in themselves, That's why other people came to him for cooperation and were willing to pay such a high price. Don't always focus on a specific number and start lamenting whether Lu Yanhe is worthy or not. He didn't steal, rob, or ask for a high price. What's the point? "

Chen Ziyan: "Be careful, if you say that, everyone will attack you."

Lu Qingzhen: "I'm just saying this in front of you."

"To put it bluntly, it's because many people work hard every day but earn very little. It's not that Yan He earns more that makes them jealous, it's that they live a It's too hard, so it becomes sharp." Chen Ziyan sighed, "This is not something we can solve. problem, but don’t intensify such a conflict."

When Lu Qingzhen heard what Chen Ziyan said, she nodded empathetically, "If you say this, I agree. Indeed, think about it, I was in Xingxing before. Entertainment, many young people work almost every day for a month, and in the end they only get a few thousand yuan in salary , I feel uncomfortable too. What I was talking about before is those who deliberately stir up trouble.”

“I know,” Chen Ziyan said, “So, sometimes I feel embarrassed, although from a rational point of view. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, but in the end it’s the one who gets the bonus.”
< br>"Facing people who have not received bonuses, I feel somewhat...I can't justifiably say that the money I make makes me straight. Why should a person with good luck talk about his life in front of someone who is not as lucky as him? Are they all achieved through hard work?" (End of Chapter)
