"Sorry, I'm holding you back."
At 11:30 in the evening, Huang Kairen said helplessly while sitting in Lu Yanhe's room.
Lu Yanhe: "Brother Huang, don't mess with me. Just tell me what you said."
"Haha, I'm just kidding you." Huang Kairen said, Sighing, "If I were a little famous overseas, I wouldn't be so popular. Some scumbags grabbed and attacked and caused such a thing."
Lu Yanhe: "Even if you are a superstar overseas, the people who should be slandering you will still slander you. If they want to find trouble with you, they will do anything. If you want to find someone guilty, why bother?”
Huang Kairen nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Actually, I'm quite nervous now."
"Is it just because of these turmoils on the Internet?"
"That's not the case, I'm with you To be honest, I didn't even take it into my heart. All I think about now is tomorrow's "Rouge" "The premiere of "Buckle." Huang Kairen said, "It's my first time to participate in this kind of international film festival, and I am starring in it. I am nervous. I want to know everyone's evaluation of this movie quickly, but I don't dare to know. ”
When Lu Yanhe heard this, he couldn’t laugh or cry, but he actually understood Huang Kairen’s mood very well.
Because it was the same when he participated in the film festival for the first time.
The indifference, calmness and coolness I feel now are just because I have experienced a lot more.
Lu Yanhe also sincerely hopes that Huang Kairen’s performance in the movie will be recognized by everyone.
It took a lot of twists and turns for Huang Kairen to finally appear in this movie.
-
Early the next morning, Lu Yanhe accepted interviews from two overseas media in the hotel room, and time basically passed.
At noon, he, Zou Dong and Wang Biao ate bread in the room. After a simple meal, we started to change clothes and do some styling. Because he was not an actor in "Rouge Button", he did not prepare his dress in a grand manner this time. Simply freshen yourself up and you're good to go.
At the entrance of the hotel, he unexpectedly met Felena Ricci. She greets him with surprise. Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment before he recognized who the other party was. She was a famous Spanish actress and a judge of the main competition unit of the Situol Film Festival for "Three Mountains".
“Hi!” Lu Yanhe also smiled brightly and shook hands with Felena Ricci, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
Felena Ricci said: "Although I haven't seen you for a long time, I have watched several of your dramas, oh, you are so cute."
She hugged Lu Yanhe's face with both hands, and there was a... using common words on her face. Said - an aunty smile.
Lu Yanhe was a little confused and didn't understand why Felena Ricci suddenly treated him with such a "loving" attitude.
Obviously, she is not old enough to be "loving". She is close to forty, but not yet forty.
Lu Yanhe could only say obediently: "Ms. Rich, thank you for your compliment."
"Just call me Felena." She said, "Wait a minute I will also go to the premiere of "Rouge Button". I heard that you wrote the script of this movie, but it is a pity that you did not star in it."
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "Because there is. A more suitable actor.”
Felena Ricci's eyes were full of admiration for Lu Yanhe: "You are so good at acting, you must act more in the future."
Lu Yanhe said: "Well, I have been acting."
Felena Ricci immediately asked: "Then why didn't you do it this time? Did you bring them to Jose?"
Lu Yanhe had to say: "We haven't started shooting yet, it will only start this summer."
Felena Ricci then showed satisfaction. Smile and say: "Then we will meet at other film festivals."
Lu Yanhe said: "I don't know if the film I want to make will be invited by the film festival. This film is not a typical film festival film."
Felena Li Qi said: "If you need it, I can help you recommend it to major film festivals. With your current achievements, I believe that major film festivals welcome you to participate with your works."
Lu Yanhe I was flattered and quickly thanked him.
“You have to remember that I am your fan and I like your performance very much.” Felena Ricci said, “I really hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future.”
Lu Yanhe nodded with a smile and said, "There must be a chance."
Felena Rich wanted to continue communicating with him, but the people around her might have run out of time, so they began to urge: "Felena, we have to go, Mr. Feiwen is still waiting for us."
“Oh!” Felena Ricci showed an apologetic smile to Lu Yanhe, “I really wish I could chat with you for a little longer, but I also made an appointment with someone else, so we can only talk next time. ”
“Well, Okay." Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, "We will meet again in the afternoon. I hope we can find a chance to continue chatting then."
Felena Ricci: "You believe me, this afternoon, you are. There must be no time to have an in-depth chat with anyone. At this time, as the protagonist, you can only cover everything and say hello to everyone."
She smiled, said goodbye to Lu Yanhe, and left.
Lu Yanhe then got into the car and set off.
Starting at this time, of course, is not going to attend the premiere or the red carpet right away, but there is another job.
He needs to participate in an exhibition with the theme of "Film and History" that Shang Yongzhou serves as the convener.
This event is organized by the local museum in Jose and the Jose Film Festival.
As the image ambassador and convener of this film festival, Shang Yongzhou needs to support the appearance of this event.
Lu Yanhe, Chen Bige, and Huang Kairen all received invitations from Shang Yongzhou to attend this event first.
After all, it is Shang Yongzhou, so they must show up to support him.
In addition to them, Jia Long also brought Wang Dashan with him.
In addition to their few Chinese stars, there are also many foreign stars appearing.
Several familiar faces, especially when British actress Lily Winton appeared, set off a huge wave of cheers.
She is the heroine of the most popular Hollywood series "The Golden Throne" in recent years. She is very popular and is one of the most popular female stars in the world.
Shang Yongzhou stood on the side of the red carpet photo area waiting for her and politely gave her a kiss.
Lily Wenton seems to be very familiar with Shang Yongzhou.
Lu Yanhe was confused when Lin Yu reminded him in his ear: "Shang Yongzhou had acted in a foreign film before, and the second female lead in that film was Lily Winton. She didn't have Acting in "The Golden Throne", he is an unknown newcomer."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.
No wonder Shang Yongzhou is one of the most representative actors in China.
Not only does he have a high status domestically, he has also starred in overseas movies. This resume is indeed representative.
-
At the event, Lu Yanhe had the opportunity to meet Lily Winton and exchange a few words with each other.
Lily Winton has not seen his works and does not know who he is. People just communicated with him politely.
Lu Yanhe just chatted with her politely.
After Lily Winton was called away by others, Wang Biao whispered in Lu Yanhe's ear: "Brother Lu, why aren't you very enthusiastic about her?"
Lu Yanhe :"I Not enthusiastic? It's okay, it's normal."
"Okay." Wang Biao said, "I thought you didn't like her very much"
But Lu Yanhe was embarrassed. Biao's words reminded me.
Don't like her?
Lu Yanhe didn't think about where he gave such an impression.
What he was thinking was, if Wang Biao mistakenly thought that he was not enthusiastic about Lily Wenton, would Lily Wenton herself also have such an impression?
Lu Yanhe didn’t want to leave such an impression on others when they first met.
So, he asked Wang Biao one more question: "Did I feel indifferent just now?"
"You're not indifferent either, but compared to when you met Felena Richie just now, I completely feel that your look and tone in front of Lily Winton just now were fake."
"Ah? Am I so bad at acting?"
"Maybe I'm too worried." Wang Biao said, "After all, I'm too familiar with you, Brother Lu."
However, Wang Biao didn't worry too much.
Someone in the field filmed the meeting and exchange between Lu Yanhe and Lily Winton.
They came to take pictures of Lily Winton, and by the way, they took the pictures of Lu Yanhe.
After the video was posted online, many people said that the smile of the Asian man in the video was so fake that he could not feel sincerity at all.
This is the public opinion appearing on the external network.
After Chen Ziyan saw it, she immediately became anxious and wanted to control the relevant public opinion——
However, traditional methods were useless on the external network. She had no one on the outside who could help.
Lily Winton's fame and influence are too great, and she has many fans, so this kind of public opinion is getting more and more intense.
When Lu Yanhe had participated in this exhibition and was about to leave, take a short rest, and then go to the red carpet for the premiere of "Rouge Button", Lu Yanhe noticed that several people were pointing at him. point. At first, Lu Yanhe thought he was recognized by others, and he nodded and greeted them politely. However, he soon realized that something was not right. The way everyone looked at him and the expressions on their faces was not right.
Lu Yanhe hesitated and asked Wang Biao: "Why are they looking at me like this?"
Wang Biao also shook his head: "I don't know."
< br>
Lu Yanhe still heard the whole story from Chen Bige.
Chen Bige asked: "What's going on? You don't like Lily Wenton?"
"No." Lu Yanhe was confused and had no idea why he suddenly I no longer like Lily Winton.
I found that video online and took a look.
In the video, Lily Winton's attitude towards him has always been friendly, but he doesn't know what's going on. Although the smile on his face is warm and friendly, it is a bit stiff. Not only that, but with When Lily Winton laughs, there is still some deliberate and artificial enthusiasm, but it seems to be perfunctory.
Lu Yanhe suddenly understood why he was attacked by a group because of this video.
If he saw this video, he would have the same question.
However, Lu Yanhe couldn't remember why he looked like this when he was talking to Lily Winton.
He is not usually the kind of person who can't manage his expression well.
This is the first time this has happened.
Chen Ziyan had already called in a hurry.
Wang Biao handed his cell phone to Lu Yanhe and said, "Brother Lu, I'm looking for Sister Ziyan's phone number."
Lu Yanhe took it in his hand.
“Yan He, I’ve seen the video.”
Lu Yanhe sighed and said, “This was really an unintentional mistake. I didn’t even realize that my expression looked like that at the time. .”
Chen Ziyan: "It's okay. You may be too tired, so your expression is out of control."
Tired?
Lu Yanhe thought to himself that he has not been very tired these days, which is okay. Compared with last year, he was living a very comfortable life during this time.
Chen Ziyan said: "Please explain your overseas social account. I just said that I have a busy schedule recently, I am very tired, and I am not in a good state, so I met Lily Winton for the first time because I was very I like her, so I try hard to mention her when I’m tired I spent a little energy and communicated enthusiastically with her, but I didn’t expect that it was self-defeating and caused such a misunderstanding. I need to explain it to Lily Welton.”
Lu Yanhe knew that this was what he could think of in a short time. , the most appropriate public relations method.
He first edited a paragraph on his mobile phone, checked it twice, and after confirming that there was no ambiguity, he posted this status and also @Lily Winton.
-
After sending this message, Lu Yanhe saw that many people were scolding him.
The scolding was harsh, and he directly said not to think that he is a top star in China, but in front of Lily Winton, he is nothing.
Lu Yanhe continued to read line by line, feeling a little heavy.
He put down his mobile phone and asked Wang Biao: "If I appear on the red carpet of "Rouge" under such circumstances, will it be a scandal for the movie?"
"A scandal? How could it be?" Wang Biao immediately said, "Brother Lu, you just made an honest mistake and it was not intentional. Everyone will understand."
When Lu Yanhe heard what Wang Biao said, he smiled instead.
Ten minutes after his explanation message was sent, Lu Yanhe logged in again and read everyone's comments.
In the comment area, as expected, many people did not buy it and were still questioning his attitude towards Lily Winton.
The entertainment industry is the most unreasonable place. Like you, dislike you, trust you, or distrust you all depends on the mood of the audience. Efforts are useless, and explanations are useless.
Lu Yanhe had expected this result a long time ago - if a random explanation was useful, then there would be no need for the existence of those public relations companies.
Lu Yanhe is not worried about how much trouble this matter will cause him. If this kind of topic is discussed lively for a few days, the heat will actually pass. Lu Yanhe's immediate explanation has actually sealed the deal at the public level, and this matter will not become a black spot for him in the future.
But it takes time.
The red carpet of the premiere of "Rouge Button" is happening right now.
There was certainly no shortage of media reporters at the scene of this film that was shortlisted for the main competition unit.
If he appeared on the red carpet of "Rouge" at this time, it is estimated that a lot of media attention would be on him and on his relationship with Lily Winton.
Lu Yanhe was a little hesitant, or else he might as well not walk on this red carpet.
This can also reduce some of the attention paid to him and this matter.
With this thought in mind, Lu Yanhe contacted Jiang Zixin and told her his thoughts.
-
The crew of "Rouge Button" was caught off guard by what happened to Lu Yanhe.
Jiang Zixin and Zheng Huairen were having a headache because of this incident. They kept contacting their friends to see if there was any way to reduce the heat of the incident.
But they encountered the same problem as Chen Ziyan.
They are too unfamiliar with foreign environments and do not know how to operate such things.
The premiere of "Rouge Button" is coming soon, and the red carpet is about to begin.
At this time, the core character of their movie has fallen into negative public opinion.
Zheng Huairen didn't even have time to contact Lu Yanhe.
In fact, they are also thinking about how to reduce the impact of this incident on the premiere of "Rouge Button".
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Yanhe actually proposed not to walk on the red carpet.
-
Wang Zhong frowned, a little annoyed, and said: "Why don't you walk on the red carpet? Just because of that thing? What does that mean? Who can always guarantee that there is no problem with his expression, Yan Didn't He explain that he was in a bad state? "
Zheng Huairen said: "Well, the most uncomfortable and unhappy person when this happens is definitely Yan He himself. He didn’t even bother to fight with us, but directly sent a message to Jiang Zixin, saying that he would not walk on the red carpet with us and would go directly to the venue, not wanting to cause more trouble to the film.”
Huang Kairen and Chen Bige. They all stood aside. After hearing what Zheng Huairen said, Huang Kairen glanced at Wang Zhong. The director still looked unhappy - he obviously very much hoped that Lu Yanhe could accompany them on the red carpet.
For filmmakers, it is a kind of ritual when their film is shortlisted for the main competition of the Jose Film Festival. We all walk hand in hand on the red carpet of the premiere and receive the attention of all media around the world. , is also an honor.
Not to mention, Wang Zhong was full of preference and appreciation for Lu Yanhe.
Chen Bige hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll call Yan He first and ask him what he thinks."
Chen Bige got the phone from the assistant and walked to Go and call Lu Yanhe.
Wang Zhong’s face was solemn and ugly.
Huang Kairen wanted to say something at this time, but he didn't know what to say.
Completely powerless.
This feeling of embarrassment made Huang Kairen uncomfortable.
Five minutes later, Chen Bige came back.
"Director, I had a phone call with Yan He. Let's go. He's definitely not going to walk the red carpet with us." Chen Bige said, "He doesn't want this negative public opinion to bring more trouble to the movie. Criticism, also Let me advise you not to worry about him, he will be waiting for us in the screening room."
When Wang Zhong saw Chen Bige saying the same thing, he sighed, nodded, and said, "That's okay. Go.”
What should have been a high-spirited walk down the red carpet cast a shadow over the moment.
-
Lu Yanhe sat in the car, waiting for Wang Biao to communicate with others to see where he could avoid the media and enter the movie palace.
After finally communicating, a staff member came to pick him up and entered through another VIP channel.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.
Lu Yanhe picked it up and took a look. It turned out to be a message from Shang Yongzhou: Have you gone in? Or outside?
Lu Yanhe said: Premiere? Movie palace? I came in through the VIP channel and didn't walk on the red carpet. Senior brother, are you here?
Shang Yongzhou said: It’s almost there, come out.
Lu Yanhe: You don’t want me to pick you up, do you?
Shang Yongzhou: I came to pick up Lily Winton. I brought her here and caused such trouble. You left without saying a word. I just knew what happened.
Lu Yanhe: Alas, I didn’t control my expression well.
Shang Yongzhou: Stop talking nonsense and come out quickly. You and Lily will walk on the red carpet together later. I have agreed with her.
Lu Yanhe was stunned: Huh?
Shang Yongzhou: I invited you here. I can’t sit back and ignore the trouble you caused at the event I convened. What’s more, you have called me senior brother for so long, so you must do your best. Brother's responsibility.
Lu Yanhe suddenly became clumsy at this moment, not knowing how to describe his sudden feelings.
Usually Shang Yongzhou didn't say much.
He came out of nowhere! (End of this chapter)
