"Lu Yanhe wrote another script!"
"After writing a script in one night, I finally understand why Lu Yanhe's output is so high."
"He finished a screenwriter in one night Years of work.”
“I don’t know if it’s a movie script or a TV series script.”
“Upstairs, even a personal code machine cannot write a TV series script in one night. .”
"Lu Yanhe is really the star of domestic entertainment. If I scold this damn internal entertainment in the future, I really can't beat him to death with a stick."
......
Lu Yanhe fell into a deep sleep. I felt groggy, and when I woke up, I felt as if I was going to die suddenly. My head was as heavy as lead, and I didn't feel at all the satisfaction of stretching in front of the sun after a full sleep.
He lay on the bed like a dead fish. It took him almost ten minutes to regain his consciousness. Only then did he regain some strength and get up from the bed.
What does it mean to be a walking dead? Lu Yanhe doesn’t even need to look in the mirror, he can just say that he is the real walking dead now.
"Hey, are you awake?" Li Zhibai was sitting on the coffee table in the living room eating, he was the only one.
Lu Yanhe felt that his eyes were swollen.
"Where is Yan Liang?"
"Zhou Pingan went to the company to find him." Li Zhibai said, "However, I think it is an excuse."
"Why? "Is there any problem?" Lu Yanhe asked in confusion.
He let out a long yawn as he spoke.
Li Zhibai said calmly: "Go to Weibo and have a look."
Lu Yanhe woke up in shock.
"What happened to Yan Liang in the hot search? Your reaction is quite scary. What's wrong?"
Li Zhibai glanced at him and smiled.
Lu Yanhe was even more confused.
Because he saw a bit of ridicule in the smile on Li Zhibai's face just now.
Lu Yanhe didn't even bother to go to the bathroom now. He turned around and went back to the room to get his phone. When he looked at it, he saw a photo of himself unconscious while sleeping.
“…”
Of course, many people are praising him, feeling sorry for him, and saying all kinds of nice things.
But Lu Yanhe saw that the first high-profile comment in the comment area was from Li Zhibai: You made him look too much like a sleeping pig.
The accompanying picture is a comparison picture of Lu Yanhe sleeping and a pink-skinned piglet sleeping. He even found an identical sleeping position...
Lu Yanhe: "..."
He threw the phone on the bed and fell down again.
He muttered, "No one is a good bird!"
Li Zhibai came over.
"Are you going to sleep again?" He stood at the door, holding the door panel with one hand and asked.
Lu Yanhe said feebly: "Get out of here, otherwise the slippers on my feet will be thrown directly on your face."
Li Zhibai: "Yan Liang said that he was from the company I’ll be back in about twenty minutes. I’ll ask you if you’re up. If you are, let’s go have lunch together.”
Lu Yanhe: “You haven’t had lunch yet?”
"Brother, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to have dinner soon." Li Zhibai said speechlessly.
Lu Yanhe sat up in disbelief.
"What?" He then noticed the time, "I slept for so long!"
Nearly nine hours.
Li Zhibai: "Stop staying up late."
Lu Yanhe let out a long sigh, "I'm so tired."
Li Zhibai crossed his hands, "Stop fucking, get up quickly, brush your teeth and wash your face, Yan Liang will be here soon."
"Isn't he still there? Do you want twenty minutes?" Lu Yanhe lay down again.
Li Zhibai: "How can you go out without washing your bird's nest?"
"Put on a hat. I'll sleep for another ten minutes before you call me again." Lu Yanhe really I feel so sleepy and tired.
-
Forty minutes later, the three of them were sitting in a private room of a restaurant specializing in fish by the river. They were on the third floor, facing the window and the river. The outside was filled with solemn white and black.
There is no sunset, and the night is almost falling.
Lu Yanhe really doesn’t have much experience in life where it will be dark soon after opening his eyes.
He took off his hat, with a head of bird feathers on his head, still looking dazed.
"You haven't recovered for a long time. Are you sick?" Li Zhibai asked.
Lu Yanhe: "No, I didn't feel uncomfortable. Maybe it was because I finished writing the script in one go last night, which drained my energy and energy."
Li Zhibai He tsk-tsked twice, "It's empty."
Yan Liang said with a smile: "You are too exaggerated. You wrote a script in one night."
"The story has been planned for a long time. Yes, I just didn’t write it,” Lu Yanhe said.
Li Zhibai asked: "Is there any role that we can play?"
"Uh..." Lu Yanhe thought for a moment, "The only role suitable for your age is the role of a eunuch."
Li Zhibai immediately glanced at Lu Yanhe and said, "You can act it yourself. "
Yan Liang asked in surprise: "You actually wrote a costume drama? "
Before this, the only costume drama written by Lu Yanhe was "Wulin Gaiden", and this drama is actually It is not a costume drama in the traditional sense, its main positioning is comedy.
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "It's a martial arts film."
"Huh? A martial arts film?" Yan Liang was a little surprised, "You actually wrote it."
"Yes, I'm with you You said, I do have a lot of martial arts stories I want to write," Lu Yanhe said.
-
For Chinese people, almost everyone has a martial arts dream when they were young.
Even if there are no Jin Yong and Gu Long in this world, martial arts movies and TV series are still not absent from everyone's childhood.
In this world, the meaning of the word martial arts is no less important than that of the time and space where Jin and Gu were.
Just like that world, after entering the new century, martial arts stories - not just film and television dramas, are slowly declining.
It is no longer mainstream.
It seems that fewer and fewer people are interested in this subject.
But still, every one or two years, like a literary resurgence, one or two martial arts works pop up that catch everyone’s attention and arouse widespread discussion.
Just like "Nine Yin" directed by Ning Zhiyuan, which has a box office of 700 million.
Just like the world before Lu Yanhe crossed over, "Sword Rain" in 2010, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" in 2011, "The Grandmaster" in 2013, "Xiu Chun Dao" in 2014 and " One Man's Martial Arts", 2018's "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right".
Whether it is a great director, a famous director or a little-known director, everyone has a martial arts dream in their hearts.
Of course, decline is decline.
Lu Yanhe has been an actor for so long, and he has already reached the top position at his age. After a year, he hardly receives one or two martial arts film scripts.
“However, there are indeed very few movies and TV dramas with martial arts themes now.” Yan Liang said, “Yan He, maybe after your "Wulin Gaiden" is broadcast, everyone will turn their attention to the martial arts theme again. "
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily true. "Wulin Gaiden" is mainly comedy, and the audience who will like it may mainly be those who like "Six People". The audience is overlapping. It also tells the story of a group of people living in one place. It uses many short unit stories to refer to the past and the present. Martial arts is just a shell."
He said: "However, regardless of this. Will everyone turn their attention to the subject of martial arts again? Anyway, I will keep writing."
Yan Liang: "Then when will you write something that we can act in?"
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "I'll find a feeling and I'll get it."
He had to wait for a moment like last night, like a divine help.
A story has been lingering in your mind for a long time. It is not a story you created yourself. You just know it. You have to write it out. There are thousands of ways to write it.
If you can't really grasp the feeling of that moment and just write it, of course the story is still very good, but it is not that interesting after all.
Martial arts has never been about the flash of swords and shadows, but the love and hatred in the arena of swords and swords, it is destiny, it is the various people in that arena, it is the story of "serving the country and the people, the great chivalrous person" in the face of the worries of foreign enemies "The one who refuses to compromise" is also the "I have to force myself" who refuses to compromise in the face of feelings. The person there is extremely affectionate and chivalrous. He would say: "A'Zhu is A'Zhu. In all the countries in the world, for thousands of generations, there is only one A'Zhu." Therefore, martial arts has never been just martial arts, it has been a thousand-year-old martial art. The world of thousands of people is also the world in the hearts of millions of people in another world.
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "The main reason is that we are too young now. When we get a few years older, we will film "Legend of Sword and Fairy" first."
-
"Have you heard? Lu Yanhe wrote a script for a martial arts movie."
This news spread all over the entertainment industry.
“He really likes the subject of martial arts.” Someone said, “After filming “Wulin Gaiden”, he wrote another script.”
"Aren't few people watching the martial arts genre now?"
"Have you forgotten "Nine Yins"? It took in 700 million at the box office last summer!"
"That's not it either. It’s only 700 million. Look at how high the ceiling for movie box office is now.”
“I don’t know what to say. 700 million is just a lot in your opinion.”
< br>……
Lu Yanhe's new script has attracted much attention.
Many people came here.
Because there were so many people looking for it, Lu Yanhe had to post on WeChat Moments, saying that this movie script was only a first draft and had not been finalized, so it would not be made public for the time being.
Chen Ziyan is one of the very few people who has seen the script.
Lu Yanhe asked Chen Ziyan: "What do you think?"
Chen Ziyan smiled, shook her head and said, "Every time I read the script you wrote, I am annoyed by one thing."
"What is it?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Ziyan said: "Why are there not many roles suitable for you in the scripts you wrote? Moreover, they are all roles older than you. I am not wrong at all. There is an old soul living in your body, young and old." Lu Yanhe thought to himself, no, it is not that there is an old soul living in his body. To put it that way, there are many old souls living in his body.
However, Lu Yanhe also understood what Chen Ziyan meant.
Indeed, there are many good scripts that he might be able to act in eight or nine years later, but now, in terms of his age, he is too inappropriate.
Just like when he gave up acting in "Rouge Button", it was also the same reason.
To play a character, an actor must meet some basic conditions.
Chen Ziyan said: "However, when I read this script, I really couldn't find actors in the entertainment industry who can play these characters."
These characters have a filter in Lu Yanhe's heart mirror.
Therefore, when Lu Yanhe wrote it, he also poured a lot of his own preferences into it.
Especially gold inlaid with jade.
This is Lu Yanhe's favorite character in the story "Dragon Inn", and it is also one of the most representative characters in the martial arts world in Lu Yanhe's mind.
Many subsequent inn proprietresses in the world have made reference to this character.
Lu Yanhe said: "Put the script here first, and let the actors find it slowly."
He believes that the right actor will be found. This thing requires fate.
“Actors and actresses are really different.” Chen Ziyan said, “The best time for male actors is after they are thirty years old, because the best roles are concentrated between thirty and five years old. At the age of ten, the best roles for actresses were before the age of thirty-five. If you can't show up before the age of thirty-five, it will basically be difficult."
"Why are you so emotional all of a sudden?" Lu Yanhe asked, "Did something happen to Wen Minglan?"
“No.” Chen Ziyan shook her head, “It’s just that I’ve been watching the fair recently. The company has a roster of artists to be signed, which is very prominent."
Lu Yanhe thought for a while, "The main reason is that in the market, most of the absolute leading female protagonists are TV series, and there are really important women in movies. There aren't many leading roles, except for Sister Bi Ge who plays every role. To be able to get a real heroine, in fact, other actresses, including Sister Yuqian, the movie "The Queen in Gold" she took on was also a drama with a male protagonist. I read an article before about the heroines of domestic movies. , most of them are borderline heroines, and they are described very accurately.”
"Yeah." Chen Ziyan nodded, "So, I quite like watching the plays you write. Your plays have great ensemble casts, even in "Squid Game" and "Rouge Button", where the male protagonist and the main character are obviously In the heroine’s play, the role of the other protagonist is equally important, not a side character.”
Lu Yanhe. : "Except for some specific themes, I like to write dramas between different people. Only different people can produce different stories and create sparks."
Chen Ziyan: "That's you, domestically. It is impossible for many screenwriters to write scripts according to their own ideas. You don’t know how many people will want to mix it in. And, in the end, what started out as a good story turned into something strange."
Lu Yanhe nodded, "Many people have told me. In fact, Bai Jingnian also told me before, that is, I wrote " "Six People" script, and at that time this drama was used by Beijing and Taiwan as an experiment, so the first season Basically no one from Beijing and Taiwan participated in the script. How I wrote it was how it was shot later. When I was gone for the second season, I didn’t know how many people had opinions on the script, but he couldn’t make the final decision. I’m surprised, if a director can’t make the decision, then who can.”
Chen Ziyan smiled.
"The current situation is that anyone can make the decision."
Lu Yanhe: "It's too weird."
Chen Ziyan nodded, "If it wasn't weird, there wouldn't be so many bad dramas, but Fortunately, the situation is getting better now, especially since the several dramas you created as a screenwriter have all become hits, making many people see the importance of a good script. Probably because of your influence, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang have publicly mentioned several times that when choosing projects, the script is always the first priority. This trend of public opinion has made everyone pay attention to the script. "It still made a big difference."
"Can a few of us talk about it and make a big difference?" Lu Yanhe was surprised.
“In this industry, whoever succeeds will listen to whoever speaks.” Chen Ziyan also laughed, “I am particularly superstitious about success. Of course, everyone actually knows that the script is very important. The scary thing is that no one knows that the script is important. , the scary thing is that everyone feels that their opinions can make the script better Okay. You have said in many interviews that you will never make any suggestions for modifications to the script, or you will reject it. If you accept it, it means that you definitely agree with it, especially your statement that it is different. , It’s deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Many people say that your description is spot on.”
"I think this is everyone's consensus."
"Consensus is consensus, so being a good person and a person who doesn't cause trouble to others is still consensus." Chen Ziyan said, "Don't think that consensus is Rules and consensus that everyone will abide by It’s just a consensus. There is a god at all times, and no one will think about the god if he should commit crimes.”
“…”
Chen Ziyan’s language art, sometimes. It also has her strong personal style.

On the twelfth day, "Squid Game" ushered in its finale, and at the same time, it also ushered in its broadcast day on the Maxine platform.
Maxine provided enough space and directly promoted it with a large picture on the homepage of the website. Moreover, through their relationship, they found a large number of celebrity artists in various Asian countries to promote it.
Vibrant.
This kind of arrangement has never been seen in Chinese dramas.
There is no other reason. The three words "Lu Yanhe" that appear in the center of the promotional picture are the reason why it was given such a ranking by Maxine.
After all, "Six People" written by Lu Yanhe is one of the dramas with the strongest long-tail effect in Maxine.
Overseas, the promotional keyword of "Squid Game" is also another masterpiece of screenwriting by Lu Yanhe, the screenwriter of "Six People".
The major media reports on this drama are different from those in China. They habitually list Lu Yanhe’s past screenwriting masterpieces and the honors he has received.
So, finally, in addition to his status as an actor, Lu Yanhe's screenwriting works received a large-scale concentrated publicity.
The sitcom "Six" is the most popular sitcom in Asia in the past three years.
The movie "Rouge" won the Audience Choice Award at the Hollywood Film Festival, one of the four major international film festivals. South Korea and Thailand have confirmed that they will remake it.
The global box office of the movie "Unfortunately" exceeded US$130 million.
This time, his screenwriter's new work "Squid Game" has broken multiple viewing records in mainland China and is one of the most popular dramas in mainland China this year.
Lu Yanhe accepted Maxine’s exclusive interview with him.
Talking about his identity as a screenwriter, he said: "I will continue to create. In fact, I still have several screenwriters' works in progress. I can tell you a preview. I write and direct. The movie "Love Letter" has completed the summer part of shooting and will soon start the winter part of shooting. In addition, the movie "Telephone" will be produced by the two actresses of "Squid Game" Jiang Yuqian and Wang Jing, starring, is currently in pre-production. The script of the martial arts movie "Dragon Gate Inn" has been completed and is being revised. There is also a fairy tale TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starring me, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang. Eleven episodes of script writing have been completed. Oh, by the way, there are still a few completed scripts that have not been made public for the time being because we are looking for partners.”
When Lu Yanhe finished talking about his projects one by one, the eyes of Thai actress Caina, who was specially invited by Maxine to be the host, were shining.
"Although I know I shouldn't introduce myself to you today because I am the host today, I still want to say that I am also an actor." Caina said with a smile, "I am the same in Thailand "Very popular."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I know, Miss Caina, you are also very popular in China, and many people like you very much."
He was not complimenting you. Caina.
Cai Na is indeed one of the few well-known Thai actors in China.
She is a bit like the Thai actress from another time and space who was called "Xiao Shui" by Chinese fans and became popular because of "A Little Thing About First Love". Caina also became popular in Asia because of a Thai youth love movie. However, her international road has been quite bumpy. Although she has stabilized her popularity in Thailand with a series of Thai dramas, she has never produced another work that has become popular in Asia.
As for the interview, although Caina is the host, Lu Yanhe is the interviewee. But on this occasion, it's definitely not a bad thing for businesses to give each other some credit.
Sure enough, Caina's eyes were shining, and she gently covered her shy smile with her hands, "Really? Do I also have many fans in China?"
"Of course. ." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Cai Na: "I really hope that one day I will have the opportunity to act in a work written by you, and I even hope to act with you."
For Caina, Lu Yanhe's current international reputation and status are far beyond what Caina, who debuted earlier, can match. She also lowered her posture and kept supporting Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe actually likes Caina quite a bit. Unlike many actresses, she actually has a girl-next-door beauty. This trait is too rare in the entertainment industry. Even Zhang Ruozhi, who he found out from his amateur state, didn't have this neighborly feeling.
Maybe add a Thai female character to "Squid Game"?
Anyway, in a world view like "Squid Game", the appearance of a foreigner will not be any surprise, just like the Indian guy in the first season.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said: "There must be a chance."
-
Lu Yanhe really wants to see what kind of results "Squid Game" can achieve on the Maxine platform, and whether it can replicate the global success of the original version.
The advantage of a streaming media platform like Maxine is that you can see its data at any time.
No need to wait.
How many people watch this show and how many people are interested are all quantified into numbers at the front desk.
Within an hour of being online, the number of on-demand users of "Squid Game" (watching time of more than 2 minutes) exceeded one million.
At this time, the influence of "Squid Game" on social media was slowly spreading.
After watching the first episode, the first batch of viewers, who are accustomed to sharing everything on the Internet, posted their thoughts on the show one after another.
In addition to the audience, Lu Yanhe also has a group of media practitioners and film critics who pay great attention to him.
Lu Yanhe’s other works may have to be online for a period of time in mainland China before going overseas. They may not be released globally at the same time. Different countries and regions may have different publishers. time difference.
But "Squid Game" is on Maxine and launched globally at the same time.
This allows everyone to watch the show at the same time.
What kind of drama did Lu Yanhe write?
-
The fact that "Squid Game" was reported by media from various countries broke many people's expectations.
Even Maxine herself did not expect that the media exposure of this drama would be so great.
Why does any drama need popularity?
Because film and television dramas have developed for so many years, major companies have understood the truth. No matter how famous a person is, no matter how many fans, no matter how high the stickiness, it is far less than the popularity of passers-by.
In such an era, there will never be as many people who are star-chasing as there are people who are not star-chasing.
However, because most people don’t speak up, many people mistakenly believe that data can represent everything.
How many movies have made a huge splash at the box office, and how many dramas have smashed the bottom of the pot? However, despite this, it must be admitted that there is no drama that does not use stars when they can be used. Because this is not an era where "the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley". Any work needs to be seen first before it can be seen by more people.
You want to be an orchid in the empty valley and wait for people to discover it——
Then maybe when your orchid in the empty valley has withered, no one will come to you.
So, popularity means the opportunity to be known and seen by more people, which means that it can cover a wider range of passers-by, making the audience base of this work larger.
Media, in essence, is the same for a film and television drama.
It affects the popularity of a film and television series.
No matter how many people criticize film critics for being paid to talk, or few people care, or sarcastic remarks such as "how many people still read those media magazines now", everyone in this industry knows that , the direct audience of film critics and media magazines may be small, but in the context of person-to-person communication on the Internet, how powerful can these people who can initiate a discussion topic be?
What you like, what you scold, what you are sarcastic about, what you despise...everything you see in this era is actually made by an individual.
The same goes for topics on the Internet. You think you don’t read those media magazines anymore. The question is, how many of the discussions about film and television dramas, whether they are topics or opinions, are really generated naturally, rather than coming from the circle of traditional media magazines?
The first wave of momentum generated by "Squid Game" on social media came from the first group of viewers and media circles.
The media ratings of several of the largest and most influential rating websites in the world opened one day after they went online, and all received mostly positive reviews.
Some media commented that the plot line of this drama is simple and does not have much value for thinking. Compared with works such as "Rouge Button", it is a bit superficial, and it is not even as capable as "Six People" in young people. It creates a huge resonance among the people.
However, more media simply evaluate the viewing effect as "good-looking, exciting, and refreshing".
When you walk past a restaurant, you may just walk past it. But when you walk by a restaurant and hear someone say, "This restaurant has been rated very delicious by XXX," you might stop and go in to have a taste.
Media comments play such a role.
And more people have been there, and if they all say it’s delicious, then it’s gone from being “delicious” by professionals to being “delicious” by word of mouth.
This is how "Squid Game" became popular step by step.

Please vote for me and recommend the old book "I Became a Scandal Heroine Overnight".
Because I have been writing "Become Popular Another Day", after writing so many words in a story, I often fall into a kind of exhaustion and self-repeating anxiety, but I can't solve it. Therefore, in order to lighten the mood of coding, I casually wrote the beginning of a story, which was originally casually serialized on the public account (without affecting the update of "Become Popular Another Day"), called "He Wants to Become the God in Charge of Love" 》.
The result is probably due to the popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong". Today, Qidian suddenly launched a mythology essay competition - well, my story was so close to the comments that it made me a little bit eager to move. Do you want to submit it? draft.
You might as well go and have a look, and I would also like to hear your suggestions. (End of this chapter)
