Since his debut, Lu Yanhe has almost never been criticized on a large scale or for a long time.
This audition incident is one of a kind.
In the comment section under Lu Yanhe’s Weibo, no one knows how many people expressed their disappointment with him.
The general meaning is that if you still choose to use a top actress like Chen Bige, you should not organize auditions from the beginning and use the banner of selecting new talents.
Faced with these scoldings, Lu Yanhe said nothing.
He just kept silent and let everyone scold him.
At this time, he couldn't explain anything.
The more this happened, the more Zhou Shuchun was sure that the two girls he saw that day were ordinary female high school students.
Nothing special about it.
Only with this attitude could Lu Yanhe keep Zhang Ruozhi mysterious and undiscovered.
The other person involved in this matter, Chen Bige, was also involved in an unexpected disaster. Although this matter actually has nothing to do with her, because she is the heroine, some people have opinions about her.
Since "Seventeen Floors", Chen Bige's career has been on the trend of returning to its peak.
"Rouge Button", "Night Run"...and now there is another "Love Letter".
Someone said directly: "Why are Chen Bige's recent dramas all related to Lu Yanhe? Either they co-star with Lu Yanhe, or they are scripts written by Lu Yanhe. The content of her new works is too high. Could it be that an actress of Chen Bige’s level can’t act without Lu Yanhe?”
Chen Bige’s fans certainly sneered at this statement.
Are you kidding me? Who are you talking about?
"Chen Bige is becoming more and more picky and her output is getting less and less. It is true, but you want to say that she can't act without Lu Yanhe? You might as well ask the major film companies , wouldn’t they be able to do it without Lu Yanhe? I gave Chen Bige the book. I don’t know how to say this.”
“But Chen Bige and Lu Yanhe collaborate so frequently.”
< br>"Cooperation is good What happened to Frequent? "Seventeen Floor" was a big hit, "Night Run" was shortlisted for the Picaro Film Festival, "Rouge" is the new film directed by Wang Zhong, not to mention the attention "Love Letter" has received, you might as well ask Ask any of the other actors, any of them Who doesn't want to act in a movie? Why don't you tell me that director Wang Zhong has collaborated with Lu Yanhe so many times, from "Three Mountains" to "Night Run" and then to "Rouge Button"?"
< br>Controversy continues on the Internet.
And the content of their dispute was indeed something that Lu Yanhe had never thought of.
I really have a feeling of "why bother".
If people cooperate with each other for a long time and the cooperation is smooth, they will cooperate more. In Hollywood, there are many directors who have their own group of actors. After working together on seven or eight movies, they don't care about fresh sparks. They need to find fresh people to cooperate, and they can still produce good and classic works.
Lu Yanhe also sneered at such a statement. Lu Yanhe thought to himself that in "Rouge Button" he was actually a behind-the-scenes person and did not appear on screen. And "Night Run" is also a short film, not a serious feature film, and it doesn't leave a deep impression on everyone. After careful planning, Chen Bige acted with him as the heroine. "Love Letter" is still the second film. In fact, in the movie "Love Letter", Lu Yanhe did not have any scenes opposite Chen Bige due to the plot. Lu Yanhe's scenes were all filmed opposite Zhang Ruozhi.
This also means that Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige did not share the same frame in "Love Letter".
However, none of this can be explained. Lu Yanhe didn't want to explain. In every play and every story, the narrator has his own ideas. Some are first raised and then suppressed, some are first suppressed and then raised, some are constantly reversed, and some are just a blur. If you have to stand up and explain every time you are questioned, then many things will lose their meaning.
Lu Yanhe believes that these controversies will disappear after the movie is released.
-
In the movie "Love Letter", in addition to these main characters, there are also several very important roles.
"This story, to put it simply, is about a pair of high school students who had the same name, so they were teased by everyone and noticed each other. And many years later, the boy Aijiki and the girl Akai A girl with the same appearance as Shu got together. Her name was Zheng Ni. Sister Bi Ge played Zheng Ni and the adult female Huai Jing Shu. The boy Huai Jing Shu died unexpectedly while climbing. Zheng Ni missed her very much. Missing him, I wrote a letter to the address where I used to go when I was in high school, but it was sent to the home of a girl named Aijing. In these letters, the two girls got to know each other, recalled Huaishu, and unexpectedly. I discovered that in high school, not only girls were secretly in love with boys, but boys were also secretly in love with girls. When the girls found out about it, the boy was already dead. ”
Lu Yanhe sat in front of Wan Xin, the winner of the Red River Award for Best Actress, and introduced the movie "Love Letter" to her.
This actress, who is nearly fifty years old, is still well-maintained, her posture is elegant and pleasant, and her eyes are still as charming as spring water.
Lu Yanhe met her at the Red River Award Ceremony. After leaving her contact information, they only greeted each other during the New Year and holidays, and there was no unnecessary contact. This time, when Lu Yanhe was looking for actors for this movie, he suddenly thought of this elegant actress.
Lu Yanhe said: "Actually, I want you to play my mother in the movie, the mother of the boy I play, Huai Jingshu."
Wan Xin showed a bit of surprise color.
"Xiao Lu, you want me to play your mother?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Mainly because I want to play a beautiful boy in the movie, and I must have a very beautiful mother. Only then will everyone believe it.”
Wan Xin laughed.
"Xiao Lu, when do you plan to shoot this movie?"
"It will be shot in summer and winter. Your scenes will all be in winter." Lu Yanhe said, "There are not many scenes. There are only two scenes, but if you read the script, you will know that it is not a role that can be played by just anyone. It requires inner strength.”
Wan Xin: "I heard you tell this movie story, it seems quite sad."
"It's not sad, it's regretful." Lu Yanhe said, "You will know after reading the script. What I want to tell is not a A sad story about missing each other, but a story about regrets and feelings about youth. In the memory, I realized that someone once secretly liked you. The existence of this fact is a very beautiful thing."
Wan Xin said: "Okay, then I will read the script first and I will reply as soon as possible. You."
"Thank you, Sister Wan Xin." Lu Yanhe said.
Wan Xin said: "Originally, I set a rule for myself. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I must not play the role of mother or mother-in-law. I am referring to the kind of mother who surrounds the protagonists. Or the role of mother-in-law, I want to play the heroine for a few more years, so I made an exception and read the script first.”
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "Sister Wan Xin, this role is not a side character in the traditional sense, and your acting skills will not turn her into an ordinary side character."
Wan Xin nodded.
-
In addition to Wan Xin, there are many other actors to be found.
Lu Yanhe always visits in person.
Thanks to Lu Yanhe's current influence, Lu Yanhe can basically make an appointment with anyone.
It’s just that because everyone is very busy, we may not be able to spare time to see him specifically.
Some actors were still on the set, so Lu Yanhe simply went to visit the cast and meet them on the set.
In general, it was relatively smooth for Lu Yanhe to find an actor.
Some refused, but most of them agreed.
Everyone believes that Lu Yanhe's movies will definitely be good.
Because in the process of communicating with everyone, Lu Yanhe could not hide the fact that he was planning to direct this movie, so the news that the movie "Love Letter" was going to be written, directed and starred by Lu Yanhe was slow. Spread slowly.
-
Yu Jiang was also very active during this time because "Flowers on the Stars" was to be screened and sold at the Jose Film Festival.
She first officially announced that her new novel will be published in "Star!" " was serialized on "Beloved", and it was announced that Lang Xia will star in another movie adapted from her novel.
In mid-April, Icefield Video took the lead in organizing a screenwriter forum.
Yu Jiang was invited to participate.
A total of eight screenwriters participated in this forum, including Feng Qiyue, the screenwriter of "Seventeenth Floor".
On the forum, everyone started a discussion on one of the topics: "The difference between screenwriters and directors."
When everyone's discussion was getting heated, the host suddenly mentioned: "Actually, I saw a report before that someone actually invited Teacher Feng Qiyue to be the director of his own script, but later Teacher Feng Qiyue was Rejected, Teacher Feng, can you share with us how you think about this matter? ”
Feng Qiyue said bluntly: "I am a person who doesn't like to deal with people. Otherwise, I would not be engaged in the profession of screenwriter. A large part of the reason why I chose this profession in the first place is because the nature of the work in this profession is very pure. Like other professions, there are too many people to deal with. In fact, many people who think like screenwriters also think like directors, but not everyone is suitable to be a director. This is not just a matter of way of thinking. Directors almost require you to do so. A jack-of-all-trades, what? You have to understand a little bit."
The host mentioned: "There is recent news that the movie "Love Letter" written by Lu Yanhe will be written, directed and starred by him. I wonder what teachers think about this? "
"Lu Yanhe is very young, he is only 21 years old. It is not easy to achieve such results at this age, and I have always felt that at this age, he wants to try new things. Something, this is a particularly good thing," a screenwriter said.
"Oh, you also said that he is only twenty-one years old." Yu Jiang shook his head.
"Does Teacher Yujiang have anything to say?"
"Forget it, I won't say it anymore, lest the words I say sound unpleasant and everyone accuses me of targeting him."
"Haha." Feng Qiyue suddenly smiled.
Yu Jiang looked over and asked: "Teacher Feng, is there anything funny about what I said?"
Feng Qiyue said: "Nothing."
He shrugged Shoulder.
Yu Jiang: "Anyway, we are all here now. If you think what I said is ridiculous, why not say it directly. There is no need to hold back like this."
"Then I will say it, you Don't be offended, I just thought it was funny. You said it to prevent others from thinking that you were targeting him. Isn't that what everyone thinks? "Feng Qiyue asked.
Yu Jiang said: "It turns out that Teacher Feng came to fight Lu Yanhe's injustice because he worked with him on "Seventeen Floors"?"
"Does he need me to fight against injustice for him?" Feng Qiyue The expression on his face seemed to say "You are here" Isn’t it funny?” He said: “Teacher Yu Jiang, except for yourself and your small group of supporters, no one will think that your remarks about Lu Yanhe are a rational statement.”
Yu Jiang's face became very ugly.
"It seems that Teacher Feng, you have a really accurate understanding of yourself. You are really not suitable for dealing with others." Yu Jiang said, "We are here in a forum, and everyone is discussing things matter-of-factly, but you are attacking me personally. "
Feng Qiyue: "I said that Lu Yanhe is only twenty-one years old, isn't it?"
Yu Jiang: "I said that he is twenty-one years old, isn't it? "A matter of fact?"
"Isn't what I said a matter of matter?" Feng Qiyue said, "Teacher Yu Jiang, why don't you take a serious look at what everyone is saying on the Internet?"
Yu Jiang said: "I never care about what is said on the Internet. Who knows whether those who say those things on the other side of the Internet are trolls, sunspots, or even dogs."
"Dear netizens, Yu Jiang personally attacked you and called you dogs." Feng Qiyue spread his hands seriously and said.
Yu Jiang’s face changed drastically.
"Feng Qiyue, don't deliberately misinterpret my meaning!"
"Didn't this come out of your mouth? Isn't this just a matter of fact? Did I take it out of context? Are you being more jealous? Fortunately, there is a live broadcast!" Feng Qiyue didn't bother to pretend, and looked at Yu Jiang coldly, "I'm pretending to be crazy."
Yu Jiang's face turned red with anger.
She got up and left the table angrily.
-
After Yu Jiang left the meeting angrily, the forum continued.
Another screenwriter sighed and said to Feng Qiyue: "You are serious, why did you have such a big conflict with her."
Feng Qiyue said: "Yes. She took the initiative to mention Lu Yanhe first. If she can bear not to mention it, I can just go with her casually to save face."
"They didn't attack you."
"But she did attack Lu Yanhe." Feng Qiyue said directly, "She has no interaction or cooperation with Lu Yanhe. She has always been rubbing shoulders with Lu Yanhe. , even if she loves him, she always badmouths him. I don’t know what is going on in her mind. I originally thought that after Yan He’s several dramas came out last year, she would know how ridiculous her words were. Again Said, I didn’t expect it to start again now.”
“Just think of what she said as farts. No one will believe her anyway.”
“I’m spoiling her. , why should you just let her fart if she wants to? If she wants to fart, go back to her own home and don’t fart in public. Let her stink as much as she wants, don’t stink me.”
……
Because this forum is more professional, only a few thousand people are watching the live broadcast. However, the number of views of Feng Qiyue and Yu Jiang's exchange of words and Feng Qiyue's complaints after Yu Jiang left exceeded 10 million in one day.
The scene in which the two of them trolled each other was wildly reposted by major marketing accounts.
Everyone knows that traffic is coming.
And this incident also became a carnival for the melon-eating crowd.
Anyone who is familiar with the two of them knows about the grievances between Yu Jiang and Lu Yanhe.
However, for the majority of netizens, it is not so familiar. Many people don't know the cause and effect, and are a little confused as to why they started to quarrel.
So, some kind-hearted netizens compiled a collection of past grievances between Lu Yanhe and Yu Jiang for netizens who don’t understand the causes and consequences to read.
The popularity comes one after another.
Feng Qiyue himself is a very famous screenwriter. You may not have heard of his name, but basically everyone knows about the movies and TV series he wrote.
He rarely speaks with such enthusiasm.
The act of suddenly standing up to help Lu Yanhe choke Yu Jiang was hilarious to the audience, but very surprising to industry insiders.
-
"Do you have a good relationship between Teacher Feng and Yan He?"
"They both filmed "Seventeenth Floor" together, and they will film the second season later. , of course.”
"There are so many actors who have filmed Feng Qiyue's script, why haven't Feng Qiyue stepped up to speak out for other actors?"
"That means Feng Qiyue has a better relationship with Lu Yanhe. "
"In fact, it may also be because of Teacher Feng Qiyue I just don’t like Yu Jiang.”
“Yes, Yu Jiang is also a weirdo. Many people have criticized her.”
“But you don’t realize that even though so many people don’t like Yu Jiang. , Yujiang is still doing well.”
"Because she is popular. This is the era of traffic. Moreover, she now has her own company and is also involved in film and television production. No matter what, her novels are popular. Look, her "Flowers on the Stars" The popularity is so high, maybe the box office will exceed 100 million. If such results are achieved, do you believe that many actors will start to praise her and say good things about her? "
"That's really...disgusting? "
"You are disgusting, she is happy for her."
"If I were Feng Qiyue, I would support Lu Yanhe," the man said immediately, "Why should I let Yu Jiang. People like that dominate the entertainment industry, so I still hope there are more people like Lu Yanhe.”
“Then do you know now why Feng Qiyue wants to speak for Lu Yanhe?”
"Those who have gained the right will get many help, but those who have lost the right will have little help."
-
The attitude on the Internet towards this incident is almost one-sided.
It is said that in the Internet age, no matter how popular something is, the heat will pass after a few days.
But people have memories.
Yu Jiang's name has been trending a lot, but most of the time it has been negative news. As time goes by, her popularity with the public has declined.
People frowned subconsciously when they saw her name. This time, they were opposed to Feng Qiyue. Not to mention the content of the confrontation, many people would feel disgusted the moment they saw the name Yu Jiang. , a feeling of "Why is it her again?" will arise.
After seeing the reaction on the Internet, Yu Jiang was even more furious.
"Teacher Yu, don't read the news on the Internet. They don't know the real situation at all. They will only take some clips and evaluate you out of context."
Her assistant Comfort her.
"When "Flowers on the Stars" is released, everyone will know how wrong they were." The assistant said, "The feedback from the internal test screenings of this movie was so good. Feng Qiyue was just bullying based on his seniority. You, when this movie becomes a hit at the box office, he will find out, in the eyes of the actors, who is the person they want to befriend more, you or him?"
Yu Jiang's mood was affected by the assistant's words. Gave some comfort.
She said: "I don't believe that a person can succeed in anything. He is just a 21-year-old boy. No matter how talented he is, can he still make a classic?"< br>
Yu Jiang didn’t mention the seal of July at all.
The knot in her heart is still Lu Yanhe.
The assistant silently fell silent.
If it were Feng Qiyue, the assistant felt that Yu Jiang could definitely compete, but Lu Yanhe? Even if she was Yu Jiang's assistant, she didn't have the shame to say what she just said.

“How can it be so easy to be a director?” He Yingzi also said to Lang Xia, “If he is really encouraged by the people around him to make "Love Letter" Director, then he really messed up."
Lang Xia asked: "But we don't know if he has the talent to be a director. Maybe his talent as a director is not worse than that of an actor. What?”
He Yingzi said: "That has nothing to do with us. We will go our own way and we will not be worse than him at all. Are you less popular than him now? Not really, is it? Now is an Internet era, a traffic Times, even the luxury of those who set their sights above their heads in the past Aren’t brands starting to look for various idols as spokespersons and promotions? Lang Xia, you don’t have to belittle yourself at all. As long as you continue on the path you are on now, you will still become the most popular actor.”< br>
Lang Xia nodded.
He Yingzi said: "Actually, I have recently taken a fancy to a script, but it's a pity that the script has already been assigned to someone else, Yan Liang."
"What script?" Lang Xia asked.
He Yingzi said: ""Top of the Mountain" is a fine drama, with one old and one young. The younger one is the second male lead, but the character is no worse than the male lead. It is a fraud theme, we There has never been a domestic online drama with this theme.”
Lang Xia asked: "Then if this character is really good and filming hasn't started yet, why not talk to the producer? We can bring money into the team. Aren't there several brands that are very willing to invest in my drama? ?"
"Yan Liang is also a popular actor now thanks to the "Six People" series. He can do whatever we can bring him. " He Yingzi sighed, "I wish I had seen this script first. Unfortunately, this script was given to Zhou Ping'an first. It was originally supposed to be played by Ma Zhiyuan. If Ma Zhiyuan didn't want to act, Zhou Ping'an gave it to Yan Liang. "< br>
"Yan Liang still takes a role that Ma Zhiyuan doesn't act in? He is really spineless." Lang Xia curled his lips.
He Yingzi said: "As long as the role is good and the team is good, what kind of backbone do you need at this time? If an actor wants to get a good role, he can do anything."
Lang Xia Shaking his head: "I can't do it."
He Yingzi smiled and said: "You don't have to do these things since I'm here anyway. After "Flowers on the Stars" is released, you will go to shoot "Beloved" and star in two movies in a row. You are in the film industry I hope I can get tickets for these two movies. The rooms are all good."
Lang Xia asked: "Can my character be one of the protagonists in the sequel to the movie "Burning Fire"?"
He Yingzi said: "Like them too? They have been communicating for a long time, and now they are just writing the script for the sequel I have made a rough draft and haven’t officially started writing the script yet. Why are you so anxious?”
Lang Xia: “I don’t want to just be a fan of this movie series.”
“If. You performed well in the first part and the audience feedback was also good. Well, your role in the sequel will naturally increase." He Yingzi said, "Now the movie "Fire" is a complete chaos. How many actors have to play it? If I continue to ask for more roles in the sequel, I will. Make them disgusted ”
Lang Xia pursed his lips and did not refute anything. He just said reluctantly: "Okay."

"Wan Xin's performance contract legal affairs has already been handled. " Chen Ziyan said, "Two scenes, sixty. You are willing to pay a salary of 10,000 yuan.”
Lu Yanhe said: “Sister Ziyan, Teacher Wanxin deserves it.”
Chen Ziyan said: “The current creative lineup of “Love Letter” is a bit exaggerated. Ah.”
"Huh?"
"You won't say it yourself. There are Luo Yuzhong, Liu Bige, and Xin Zixin behind the scenes, and there are Chen Bige, Wan Xin, and Li Songfan in the cast. You are a movie , and only You can make it with a production budget of about 10 million," said Chen Ziyan. "It would be impossible for anyone else to hire so many people with this amount of money."
Lu Yanhe said. : "I always follow the market The remuneration is not discounted.”
“The market price is the market price, but so many companies use the market price to hire you to act, are you going? You are here." Chen Ziyan Said, "Otherwise, why would Wan Xin come to your movie and play a role with only two scenes? It's not like she doesn't have a leading role to play."
Lu Yanhe nodded, "That's right."< br>
Chen Ziyan said: "With the current lineup, if we say that we only have 10 million production funds, no one will believe it."
Lu Yanhe said: "This movie mainly spends money on the production team. No need to create special effects ""Love Letter" is a drama with a modern background. It does not need to spend money on special effects like many blockbusters, nor does it need to spend money on costumes like a costume drama. High production costs are invested in the transformation process. Basically all investment is in people.
Chen Ziyan said: "What I mean is nothing else. I don't want to promote this movie because the production budget is very low, because no one will believe that 10 million can really make this movie." . If someone else wanted to spend 10 million to shoot "Love Letter", he would never be able to find a lineup like yours. If we promote this, it may be counterproductive."
Lu Yanhe then understood Chen Ziyan. intention.
He nodded and said: "I understand, Sister Ziyan, I will pay attention."
Chen Ziyan asked: "The "Love Letter" is almost finished, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" you When do you plan to film it?"
Lu Yanhe said: "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Do you want to continue to be the director of this movie?" Chen Ziyan asked.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said: "There are far more arrangements in "Those Years" than in "Love Letter". It's already very troublesome for me to make "Love Letter" now, so I'd better forget about "Those Years"."
"That's what being a director is like." Chen Ziyan said, "If you don't plan to be the director of "Those Years" yourself, then I will communicate with other film companies and see who can be found to co-produce with us."
Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Ziyan, in fact, the box office of "Those Years" should be It should be higher than "Love Letter". I plan to invest more in this movie."
Chen Ziyan said: "But if you invest too much, other companies may not be willing to take over. ”
If Lu Yanhe invests more, other people’s shares will become smaller. If the expected revenue from this movie is not high enough, they may not be interested in doing this project.
Lu Yanhe said: "That's not too much. I mean, Sister Ziyan, if you are interested, you can also invest more, and the box office of "Those Years" will be higher."
Lu Yanhe doesn't know how the movie "Love Letter" is doing at the box office.
Because the subject matter and content of this movie are too far away from the current movie market.
Lu Yanhe is also not sure how many of the current audience are willing to go to the cinema for such a movie about secret love with a somewhat sad ending. This film is controlled by his and Chen Ziyan's production company. There is no cooperation with other film companies and no other capital to invest, ensuring that Lu Yanhe can shoot the film completely according to his own ideas. All the funding for this film came from people like Lu Yanhe, Chen Ziyan, Chen Siqi, Luo Yuzhong, Liu Bige, and Chen Bige.
Everyone is willing to invest. Lu Yanhe believes that it is definitely not because they believe that this movie will be a box office hit and help them make a lot of money, but because this is the first movie that Lu Yanhe has written, directed and starred in. , so I support him exclusively.
Especially Chen Ziyan, besides Lu Yanhe herself, Chen Ziyan is the second largest investor.
Lu Yanhe is also worried that if "Love Letter" fails, the movie "Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" can help Chen Ziyan earn some money.
Chen Ziyan smiled.
She said: "I'm not that professional in film production, and I don't know how much it will cost to make the movie "Those Years". I'll go talk to a few companies first and see what they are doing. Are you interested? If they are willing to give me a small share to invest, of course I am willing to invest more.”
For projects that are not promising, of course, I hope to get investors. support.
But for a project like "Those Years", Chen Ziyan believes that a large number of film companies will be willing to join in the production. In this case, it is not certain how much investment share they are willing to give. Good projects will never lack investment, and investment shares must be grabbed.
Chen Ziyan knew that Lu Yanhe didn't really understand these things. The movie "Love Letter" almost used a house-keeping method to raise the investment. In Chen Ziyan's view, it was a group of relatives and friends who saw that this child in their family was going to start his own business, so they did not contribute. They also took a sum of money to support the child and help him realize his wish.
Why did Chen Ziyan remind Lu Yanhe not to publicize the 10 million production fund?
Because apart from "Love Letter", there will not be another movie made like this.
Of course, Chen Ziyan cannot talk too much to Lu Yanhe about these things.
Everyone is trying to protect Lu Yanhe’s purity, especially Chen Ziyan as her manager. (End of chapter)
