After Lu Yanhe acted in his first scene, he became famous on the set of "The Mist".
In the end, actors still have to rely on their acting skills to speak for themselves.
This is especially true in places like the crew.
If you are popular and famous, you will indeed get some preferential treatment. However, if you really want to win the recognition and recognition of the crew members, you still have to rely on your solid acting skills.
Just like some actors who are not very popular, but if his business ability is recognized as strong, when he attends events, he will definitely get the respect and courtesy of those popular stars - provided that the actor's business The ability is recognized as strong. If the acting skills are very good but not known to so many people, many people will not pretend to be polite.
Why is this happening?
Because no matter how "traffic-only" the actual situation of this era is, in everyone's perception, acting is still king.
You don't have to "acting is king", but you can't say so publicly, because if you say so openly, it violates public order and good customs. While being attacked by public opinion, you will also be cast aside by the mainstream media. .
This is a basic understanding of building the entertainment industry.
In the crew of "The Mist", these young actors don't care about their fame or whether they are very likely to become superstars in the future. Here, at the moment, if your acting is average or even bad, Although everyone didn't say it, in their hearts they felt disgusted.
For many people, Lu Yanhe, a young actor from China, is a stranger who has never seen any works. Those who know a little bit know that he has won the best actor award in China's mainstream film awards and has many works in He has won awards at four major international film festivals and is quite famous.
The level of his acting skills is, after all, "out of sight, hearsay is not true."
Now, Lu Yanhe’s acting skills have a concrete description: he scared Arne Bogut in his first scene.
-
“Arney, is that Chinese guy’s acting really so exaggerated? Did he scare you in the first scene?”
The muscular man Simon Schmid showed a teasing smile and looked at Arne Bogut with ridicule in his eyes, as if he was amused by the fact that Arne Bogut was frightened during his performance.
Arne Bogut glanced at him and said: "You will know when you play against him."
Simon Schmid curled his lips and said: " You are just timid, I'm never afraid of ghosts and things like that. "
Lily Williams glanced at Simon Schmid and said, "You are so strong, of course you are not afraid of these things. We are different from you."
Actually, I would say that China’s science education is doing well.
At least among young people, China is basically still a complete atheist and does not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods. But in Europe and the United States, it is different. There is a large group of people who seriously believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world.
Just like what the three of them are discussing now, it can be found through their conversations that some of them really believe that there are ghosts in this world.
Lily Williams is one of them.
“When Arne and Lu Yanhe acted in the scene, I was also there watching it. I sat behind the director and watched the monitor.” Lily Williams’ eyelashes trembled slightly as she remembered something. "Lu Yanhe is really Like an evil ghost coming for revenge, I feel nervous and scared when I think about acting with him like that."
"Lily, you are too exaggerated. Just acting," Simon Schmid said.
Lily Williams immediately said: "Have you forgotten about "The Gate of Hell"?"
"The Gate of Hell?" When Simon Schmid heard the name, his face suddenly changed.
Not just him, Arne Bogut’s face also changed.
-
“The marketing of our movie can actually refer to the movie "The Gate of Hell"."
Xinalin talked to Mulken Sorge about the marketing of this film on the set, and said: "You know how "The Gate of Hell" is marketed, right?" The actor did a lot of marketing, saying that he was possessed by a ghost on the set, and that the actor could not remember everything that happened to him on the set. A rival actor also said that while acting, The actor seemed to be a different person, completely different. He seemed to be suppressed by something, as if a ghost was on the bed. "Muken Sorge said, "There have been a lot of rumors about the crew. We did some topical marketing for that film, and in the end it achieved very good results, with a global box office of 130 million US dollars.”
“To this day, they deny that this is the case. Movie marketing is said to be something that really happened, but we all know that this is definitely marketing,” Xinalin said, “I think our movie should also learn from this method. Lu Yanhe is Chinese, you know, China. There are no fewer legends about ghosts and gods than ours. I think if we can do some similar marketing around him, it will definitely attract a lot of people’s attention.”
Muken Sorge shook his head directly and said: "Impossible, Lu is not an ordinary unknown actor, many people know him, and your marketing on him will not have any effect at all. You underestimate his popularity and influence in the global film industry.”
Xin Nalin is not in the art film industry, and she doesn’t know much about Lu Yanhe.
However, Xinalin still insisted, saying: "It is better for him to be well-known. Isn't that a double effect? A well-known actor experienced many unexplained mysterious things during the filming of a horror film, and even happened The story of suspected ghost possession is definitely eye-catching."
Muken Sorge frowned slightly.
“I think Lu Yanhe will not accept it.” Muchen Sorge said directly.
"Mu Ken, do you also think that the marketing plan I proposed will be very beneficial to the movie box office?" Xinalin asked.
Muken Sorge said: "I believe that my movies can sell high box office without this kind of marketing. My past two movies have not adopted this kind of marketing method, and I don't like this kind of marketing. Way. Only bad horror movies need this kind of false marketing."
Horror movies are not scary because they are based on real events.
In this world, most people know that horror movies are not real, but they are still scared to death, and some even die of heart attacks and accidents.
Muken Sorge can be said to be a director who has great ideas and personal aesthetic pursuits in making movies.
Although Mu Ken said this, he noticed that Xinalin's expression did not seem to be convinced by him.
-
Whether the movie "The Mist" will succeed at the box office is actually even greater for Xinalin.
This is a project promoted by Xin Nalin.
Even though Mukken Sorge's past two films have been box office successes, this does not mean that the third one will also be a 100% success.
That's not the case.
Now there is a way to reduce the pressure on the movie’s box office, and even allow them to start dreaming ahead of time. How could Xinalin give up so easily?
-
Chen Ziyan came at this time.
She arrived after a long journey and met Lu Yanhe again after two weeks.
"The last episode of "Wulin Gaiden" on Northern Lights Video exceeded 30 million viewers in 24 hours, becoming the drama series with the largest number of new members on Northern Lights Video this year, and also a pre-roll advertisement The highest-grossing drama series." Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe, "Congratulations, you have created another TV series that has created ratings miracles."
Lu Yanhe waved his hand with a smile and said, "Prepare for the second season. When? ”
Chen Ziyan said: "It will be broadcast in winter early next year to catch up with the winter vacation. In addition, "Wulin Gaiden" will also be broadcast exclusively on Yuehu Channel. Two episodes will be broadcast every afternoon. Please remember to send a promotional Weibo to Yuehu Channel."
“Well, okay.” Lu Yanhe nodded, “What’s the approximate ratings? ?”
“I don’t know, but after the Northern Lights video is broadcast, except for the first episode, every subsequent episode of "Wulin Gaiden" requires members to watch. I think the TV station can still attract a lot of viewers. "Okay." Chen Ziyan said, "This is also a new model that can be explored. The webcast ends with Later, I became a member to watch the drama. If you want to watch this drama without paying a membership, you can go to the TV station to watch it."
Lu Yanhe: "But the TV station does not broadcast it every day."
< br>"Of course, this just means that there are more viewing channels, and everyone can get what they need." Chen Zi Yan said, "The key is, if you look at "Six People", it was delayed to be broadcast on video websites. It has been broadcast on Beijing and Taiwan for dozens of rounds. The ratings are still high and there is an endless stream of advertisements. This shows that this kind of drama has a market It’s very big, no matter how many times you broadcast it, people will still watch it.”
Lu Yanhe: "Then I hope that "Wulin Gaiden" can also be broadcast well on Yuehu Station."
Chen Ziyan: "There is another good news, you definitely want to hear it."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned, a little confused, and asked, "What?" "What good news?"
"Because of the popularity of "Wulin Gaiden", the number of tourists in Jiangzhi surged by more than 600,000 last week," Chen Ziyan said, "Jiangzhi's Tongfu Inn is booming. .”
Lu Yanhe laughed in surprise.
"Really?"
"Really." Chen Ziyan said, "Jiangzhi's tourism department specially sent us a banner to thank the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" for their contribution to Jiangzhi's local tourism industry. Not only that, Huang Kairen and Liu Zi were also hired as Jiangzhi Tourism Promotion Ambassadors.”
"Great."
Chen Ziyan: "People in Jiangzhi also said that they will push "Wulin Gaiden" to apply for various official mainstream awards in the future. This will directly stimulate the local economy and is of great significance."< br>
"Brother Yunlan and Sister Yiyi must have been very busy during this period." Lu Yanhe smiled.
"That's for sure."
Chen Ziyan: "Because we have to go to Tongfu Inn to shoot the later part in the second half of the year. Now that Jiang Zhi is so popular, everyone is under a lot of pressure. We are afraid that when the time comes to shoot, The popularity has not diminished, causing a lot of trouble for filming.”
Lu Yanhe said: “This is. The troubles of happiness."
"It is indeed the troubles of happiness." Chen Ziyan nodded, "Northern Lights Video asked me to ask what you mean. They wanted to ask, "Wulin Gaiden" is the drama. Isn’t it possible to develop some spin-off dramas?”
“Spin-off dramas?” Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
Chen Ziyan said: "This is a martial arts film, and it is also a sitcom. All the stories take place in the environment of Tongfu Inn, but in fact it has a big world view. They think they can develop some "Martial Arts" Stories mentioned in Gaiden , make it into a spin-off drama. If you are willing to authorize it and agree to make it, they will start preparations.”
Lu Yanhe: “I don’t have time to write the script for the spin-off drama.”
"I know, and they know, So, they only need your consent." Chen Ziyan said, "If you don't agree, it won't happen."
"I think it's okay to make a spin-off, but we'll have to wait until "Wulin Gaiden" is finished. Well, I don't hope "Wulin Gaiden" hasn't been released yet As soon as the show is finished, other dramas will come to compete for the title."
"Okay." Chen Ziyan nodded, "They are not so fast. They need to find someone to write the script, prepare the crew, and then shoot and broadcast. It’s a long process.”
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
Chen Ziyan has only been here for two days.
She mainly came to see how Lu Yanhe was doing on the set.
Lu Yanhe took her around the set.
"Actually, it's almost the same as in China. There's not much difference in hardware between us." Lu Yanhe said, "But one thing I'm quite shocked about is that their crew here operates very efficiently. Everyone knows who they are as soon as they arrive on the set. What to do, and basically shoot for about eight hours a day, and then call it a day. "
Chen Ziyan said: "Their hundreds of years of crew management experience is beyond our comparison. Learn more and use it in our own crew in the future."
"Yes. ”
Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe were watching and chatting when suddenly a woman came towards them.
“This is the producer of our movie, Xin Nalin.” Lu Yanhe introduced to Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan: "Oh, I know, I had a video call with her."
As she said that, Xin Nalin had already walked in front of them, stopped, and smiled happily at Chen Ziyan.
“Zi Yan.” Xin Nalin pronounced her voice in a straight and round tone.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan were both surprised.
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Xinalin said: "You just happened to be here, and I also have something I want to discuss with you."
The matter that Xinalin wanted to discuss with them was actually about the movie marketing that she had told Director Muken before.
-
“We cannot cooperate with such a publicity method.” After hearing this, Chen Ziyan did not hesitate at all. She shook her head and refused, “Such a publicity method will have a negative impact on Yan He’s image as an actor. A lot of harm.”
Xin Nalin had long expected that Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan would have this concern.
Indeed, unless you are the kind of actor who has passed away and needs some topics to become famous, or the kind of artist whose own personality label is very catchy and whose words are not surprising, under normal circumstances , no aspiring actor on the rise would be willing to be associated with rumors like "ghost possession".
But——
Xin Nalin continued to try to persuade Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan.
“After the movie is released, we will clarify that all these rumors are just to promote the movie.” Xinalin said, “We know that you come from a country that does not respect ghosts and gods. Don’t worry. We just hope that by doing relevant publicity before the release, we can help more people know about the movie." "Sorry. , We cannot cooperate with such publicity." Chen Ziyan did not consider it at all and her attitude was unmoved. "No matter how much it promotes the movie's box office, it will be very harmful to the actors."
< br>
Xin Nalin didn’t expect Chen Ziyan’s attitude to be so firm and couldn’t help but explain.
She was silent for a long time and looked at Lu Yanhe.
She seemed to want to see if Lu Yanhe had a different attitude.
“This kind of promotion method is very likely to make the box office of "The Mist" exceed 100 million." Xinalin said.
Lu Yanhe looked at Xinalin with a smile and said, "My salary is for my performance, not my reputation."
-
When he first debuted, Lu Yanhe actually didn't want to become a "troublesome actor" in the eyes of others.
There are various problems that make the crew feel troublesome, and they are not cooperative with the crew's work.
At that time, I often saw some actors having a reputation as being "difficult to work with", and I thought to myself that I must not be such an actor.
Later, as he experienced more and more crews and encountered more and more situations, he also realized one thing. To be a good actor is not blind cooperation.
If you can cooperate blindly, it means that you have nothing to hold on to and defend.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe slowly changed his approach. In other words, he slowly revised his thoughts.
He also gradually realized why many good actors have the reputation of being "difficult", "difficult to work with" and "weird".
It’s not that they are contrary to this reputation, but that for them, they may no longer care about these things - especially after reaching a certain status, they no longer need to blindly please everyone, they just need to Do your part well, know what you can't compromise on, and then stick to it.
As for this making some people unhappy, then they won’t be happy.
-
Xin Nalin did not directly express any dissatisfaction to Lu Yanhe, but she did not need to directly say "I don't like you" to someone to feel dissatisfaction.
However, this does not affect Lu Yanhe's acting.
From the first scene, Lu Yanhe's performance has been recognized by the entire crew. Later, even every time there was a scene with him, there would be some staff members who were looking forward to seeing him act on set.
After noticing this phenomenon, Semen Schmid muttered privately: "Is his acting skill so good? It is so impressive."
Semen Schmid was also there I have seen Lu Yanhe act live, but because I haven’t acted opposite Lu Yanhe yet, I don’t have the personal experience of Arne Bogut.
He didn't think that Lu Yanhe's acting was not good, but he sighed-
Isn't it as good as this?
Are you being too exaggerated?
-
"As for your acting skills, will you still be questioned on the scene?" Yan Liang asked in surprise.
That night, the three of them were on a video call. Lu Yanhe talked about his recent life on the set and mentioned the previous things.
"No more now. At the beginning, they all thought that I couldn't act very scary." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "Actually, I think playing a ghost is quite exciting. How do you want to play it? No matter how you act, it’s not like playing an ordinary person; Just stick to some normal rules and don’t go too far. Playing a ghost is very enjoyable. You can design a lot of things yourself, and it doesn’t matter if you act wildly.”
Lu Yanhe is indeed on the set of "The Fog". The acting was very out-of-the-box and very casual.
Sometimes he is even immersed in the performance, enjoying the voyeuristic feeling of being a ghost.
Everyone else is on the bright side, but he is on the dark side.
He is the one who holds the initiative.
Hate can flow freely in the body, without the constraints of rationality as a human being, and does not need to be imprisoned by human morality - he is playing a ghost, so there can be no boundaries, no sense of proportion, and even hysteria Don't care about the audience's feelings.
He is no longer a human being. Will anyone still use moral standards to look at a ghost after a tragic death?
Li Zhibai said: "It sounds like you really enjoyed your performance."
Lu Yanhe: "Yes."
Li Zhibai: "Oh, you really enjoyed your acting."
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yanhe asked.
“It’s annoying.” Li Zhibai said, “Since the completion of "Fake Death", I have been reading scripts for more than half a year, and I have never seen a script that I like."
" Aren't you preparing "Seventeen Years of Crime"?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Zhibai: "We are still working on the script now. It's not that fast. After the script is finished, we still have to find actors. It will be a long time until filming starts. "The Sword" and Huang Pump's movie " "Go to hell", it won't be released until next year, I can't just not join the group this year, right? It's still half a year away."
Lu Yanhe: "Didn't Lin Suyang contact you with any good scripts?"
"He didn't. He didn't bring actors before. Without that resource network, he could help me get Huang Pump's "You Go to Die" before. "It's an unexpected surprise. For my affairs, he mainly focuses on business and publicity, and I have to rely on myself for filming." Li Zhibai said, "I didn't expect that one day I would do it." Contact the producers and producers you have worked with before Director, ask them if they have any suitable scripts to recommend to me."
Lu Yanhe: "You are asking too much now."
"What if I just watch you and me? Yan Liang and two people You have become a powerful actor, and you are all about to become a TV star and a movie king. Oh no, you are already a movie king." Li Zhibai said, "I am not happy to be a backdrop for you."
Yan Liang smiled.
"I haven't picked up the TV King either."
"Holy shit, you have "Friends" and "The Gold Rush" under your belt, and there's also "The Mountain" coming. Who knows when you'll pick it up? "I won the prize," Li Zhibai said. You have to prepare for a rainy day. I can’t wait until you all win the prize before I take action. It will have to be many years later. No, no, no.”
Lu Yanhe: “Then you really have to rely on your own efforts. Normally, it will start this year. project, basically The actors have already been decided, especially if you are suitable for the role now. You will contact the actors as soon as the project is established. Unless someone suddenly breaks out and can't act, and you come to the rescue, otherwise, I think you will join the cast temporarily? It’s very suspenseful.”
Li Zhibai: “Let’s look for it again. If we can’t find it, we have to give up. We can’t act in a script that I don’t like that much.”
"There is another way."
"What can you do?"
"Look at what movies by big directors and you think the scripts are good in the second half of the year. If you go and make guest appearances for them, they will definitely be willing." Lu Yanhe said, "In this way Come, you can also get to know more people in the film industry."
Li Zhibai: "I took the initiative to find him. Are you talking about a guest appearance? I don't do this kind of thing to lower my status. I'm Li Zhibai, okay? If someone asks me to make a guest appearance, I have to think about it and see my relationship with this person before making a decision, and I take the initiative to find him. I don’t have the talent to do this as a guest star.”
Hearing what Li Zhibai said, Lu Yanhe had no choice but to give up.
"Where is Yan Liang? What are your plans for the second half of the year?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"I have been filming "Liuguang Yin", and now I have been doing action training. There are many martial arts scenes in it. I want to do it by myself as much as possible and use less stand-ins." Yan Liang said, "This drama will be released in the second half of the year. No It’s another show.”
Li Zhibai said: “You don’t know that this kid is perverted and goes to participate in activities every day. For training, I have to practice for almost four or five hours every day."
Lu Yanhe: "There are many skills that are not overwhelming. Let me tell you, Li Zhibai, you also have a lot in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". For action scenes, don’t just do it, you should also practice with Yan Liang!”
“I’m practicing,” Li Zhibai said immediately.
Yan Liang also complained immediately: "Although he is indeed practicing, he actually spends three days fishing and two days drying the net."
"Damn it, Yan Liang, you're still snitching? Why don't you save some face!" Li Zhi reprimanded angrily.
Yan Liang made a face.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
“You have a good time filming. When you come back, we will record "Young Days". It is really rare that we can gather everyone to record this program together." Yan Liang said with a smile.
This year everyone’s schedule is lucky enough to avoid joining the cast in August-September, so the fifth season of “Young Days” can smoothly welcome everyone back.
This program is the only variety show in which Lu Yanhe serves as a permanent guest, which is of great significance.
As an actor, Lu Yanhe actually needs to consciously reduce his exposure in addition to movie promotion.
Therefore, he rarely appears on variety shows and rarely attends public events, in order to maintain the freshness of his appearances and maintain the audience's expectations of him.
If a person shows up frequently, he will definitely lose some people's interest.
Although Lu Yanhe did not record every season from beginning to end of the variety show "Young Days", he did it every season.
This is because they really get along with each other in this show.
It can be said that the "Young Days" group is Lu Yanhe's only circle in the entertainment industry.
Except for this circle, he has never been in any other circle of friends.
Four years have passed and the fifth season is about to begin. Everyone in this show is getting better and better.
At first, almost all of them were newcomers, but now they have become big names.
Not to mention the singers Qin Zhibai, Song Linxin, and Liu Zhiyin. The first one is a popular original singer in major music shows and music festivals, the second one is a major OST in film and television dramas, and the third one is a current Chinese pop female idol. The first person. The only host, Peng Zhixing, was originally a new generation host that Northern Lights Video strongly supported. After years of training, he has become the leader of the younger generation. Not to mention the actors. Except for Su Xiao, who has not yet reached a certain height, the others are all capable of shouldering the leading role.
This group of people seems to be witnessing and chasing each other's careers, and they are getting better and better together.
Everyone thinks that if a program like "Young Days" can produce so many big names, can it continue?
Remuneration is secondary, isn’t it more difficult to get a schedule?
However, although it was indeed difficult to get everyone together from beginning to end, no one was absent from the recording of the entire season.
Even if you don’t have time to record from beginning to end, you will definitely participate in the recording of several episodes.
Just like Lu Yanhe, who even became lame one year and was still sitting in a wheelchair, surprisingly appeared in the last episode in the house where everyone lived together.
Last season, in the last episode, there was a question and answer session. The director team selected questions from fans of the show and asked the artists in front of the camera.
One of the questions is: Will you keep recording this show?
The artists looked at each other.
In that issue, Lu Yanhe was the first to speak.
“We can’t promise that we will keep recording, because there is no show in this world that can keep recording, but at least, you see, it’s the fourth season, each of us is working hard to make ourselves Keep coming here, keep working with our familiar director team and familiar friends "Get up and do this show." Lu Yanhe said, "I dare not say always, and I dare not say forever, but the feelings we show in this show are real. Our games and challenges have scripts, but the relationship between us is There is no script for getting along.”
Everyone else burst into tears.
Ryu Ji-yin said at the time: "This is the first show I have appeared on after returning to China. All my confidence comes from this show, everyone's care for me, and the support of the audience of this show. To me, this is more than just a show. This is the vacation that I look forward to most every year when I am tired and busy catching up on announcements. Participating in this program is my vacation trip every year.”
Xiao Yun, who was usually the most carefree person, was covering his face and his voice was choked with sobs.
"It's so annoying. It's the most annoying thing to be sensationalizing at this time." She muttered, "I hope we can record for a few more years. By the time our show ends, we won't be reluctant, regretful, sad or disappointed. When we have left everything that can be left in this program, we will end it."
Lu Yanhe thought about this time last year in a foreign country, and suddenly he missed these people.
He clicked into the "Young Days" group chat. He originally wanted to say, "I miss you guys a little bit," but when he typed this sentence, it seemed pretentious.
After thinking about it, he raised his phone, took a picture of the moon in the night sky and sent it to the group chat.
At this time of the bright moon, we share the same horizon.
