Chapter 557: Travel to South Korea (8,000 words updated!)


Jiang Jun won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and the landscape of 40-year-old male stars in domestic entertainment was reshuffled.

Jiang Yuqian was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Visual Effects. In the past six months, her international stardom has been maintained at the top level, and her status has soared and stabilized.

Liu Zefan was not shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award, but his role as a young policeman bursting with hormones made him extremely popular, especially among female audiences. A group of rich women generously expressed their lust for his body - which also caused a controversy. Hot discussion.

Although Wang Jing’s role as Crazy Patch didn’t make her as big a hit as the previous starring roles, her attention in the country was just as high and her popularity increased rapidly.

This battle royale series, which does not have as much stamina as "Wulin Gaiden", has once again returned to the audience's attention with Jiang Jun's gains at the Golden Globe Awards.

Jiang Jun's acceptance speech also gained great popularity on the Internet.

A story about persistence after persisting for many years and finally reaching the top.

"Squid Game" has also soared in popularity on the Maxine site, returning to the top in terms of daily views.

This is the influence of a big award.

Winning the grand prize is not only an artistic achievement and honor, but also means extremely high commercial returns.

This is why so many movies and filmmakers compete for the grand prizes at the four major international film festivals, Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes every year.

Because their corresponding commercial value is also extremely high.

So far, three actors who have starred in the script written by Lu Yanhe have helped three actors win awards.

At this moment of celebration, some extreme career fans complained angrily to Lu Yanhe: "The scripts you wrote for others, one won the domestic Best Actor, and the other won the foreign Best Actor. What about yourself? If these scripts were acted out by yourself, what would you do now? There won’t be only one trophy for Best Actor! Can you be more enthusiastic and ambitious? If you like writing scripts for others, why don’t you become a screenwriter?”

Look from Lu Yanhe! When I came to this complaint, I silently crossed it out.

He has been exercising his abilities in this area recently.

No explanation, no refutation, just say whatever you like.

Zeng Qiao, on the other hand, suddenly sent a message with only two words: Where am I?

Lu Yanhe: Huh?

Zeng Qiao: Isn’t there a script written for me?

Lu Yanhe: Brother, I am writing the script for the second season of "River of Silence".

Zeng Qiao: Can you give me a Best Actor award?

Lu Yanhe: I am under a lot of pressure.

Zeng Qiao: There is motivation only when there is pressure.

-

Jiang Jun won the prize, and Lu Yanhe was targeted——

The main reason is that the winning rate is too high.

In other words, Lu Yanhe's script is too flattering to the actors.

Not to mention these two dramas, "The Journey" made newcomer actor Wang Dashan famous overnight and became famous nationwide, not to mention "Six People" and "Wulin Gaiden".

The latter also used the role of Tong Xiangyu to make Liu Zi, who had never acted in a film or television drama, become famous overnight.

Someone summarized the actors who came out of the film and television dramas adapted from Lu Yanhe's scripts. After this summary, everyone discovered that the actors who starred in the film and television dramas adapted from Lu Yanhe's scripts were never ineffective acting.

Almost every role brings attention and dividends to the actor playing it.

Lu Yanhe, who was already being watched by major agencies, agents and actors because of his popular drama, is even more popular now.

Moreover, this time the actors who were attracted to Lu Yanhe’s script became those who were already big names.

Those big names also want to win big prizes.

In the past 20 to 30 years, how many domestic actors have won awards at foreign awards?

In just two years, Chen Bige won the Best Actress award at the Dutch International Film Festival, and Jiang Jun won the Best Actress award at the Golden Globe Award.

This success rate, this gold content!

Ning Xiulian, who had just won the Venice International Film Festival, made a special call to Lu Yanhe to congratulate him and also asked him if there was any role suitable for her. Not to mention those acting talents in China. Who doesn’t want to take a step further at this stage and become famous internationally?

When you film Lu Yanhe’s drama, the drama becomes popular, the person becomes famous, and the success rate is extremely high and you win awards.

At this time, you have to get in touch with Lu Yanhe first.

How do you know him?

Who can be the introducer?

-

At this time, no one in the industry asked: What did Lu Yanhe think, and would resolutely choose to attend the Blue Ribbon Award ceremony under such circumstances.

Whether it is his own overseas influence at the premiere of "The Mist", or the outstanding performance of "Friends" with an average episode ratings of over 3%, or the just-released Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, they have already This fully explains one thing to everyone in this industry, Lu Yanhe does not need to care about those miscellaneous things.

For Lu Yanhe, as long as he does everything well and follows his own path, no one can shake his position.

On the day of the Blue Ribbon Award Ceremony, Lu Yanhe was the last one to walk on the red carpet.

He and Chen Siqi held hands and were greeted by Wen Yang personally, giving them enough face.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi, a very famous couple, although they are discussed a lot, they rarely appear together in public on formal occasions.

They weren't the type of couple to stick together wherever they went.

So, being able to attend the Blue Ribbon Award together also gives the Blue Ribbon Award enough face.

This time, both of them were under tremendous pressure to hold up tonight's performance.

That night, Li Zhibai performed as the opening show, singing five film and television hits in a row, setting off the first wave of craze.

Awards are presented, and the awards are awarded in sequence.

It still looked like a star-studded party, but Lu Yanhe discovered that there were indeed many nominees who did not attend.

As the top domestic award and an award ceremony, it is indeed abnormal to a certain extent that so many nominees did not come.

No matter how many guests there are, the protagonists are still the nominees.

The technical department has several awards, but none of the winners came to the scene, and others received them on their behalf.

But, luckily, at least everything is over.

The party reached its climax when Lu Yanhe took the stage.

This is a specially set up link.

"Golden Age", "Seventeenth Floor", "River of Silence", "Squid Game", "Wulin Gaiden", "Six People", "Friends"...

Every movie starring or written by Lu Yanhe The singers of the play and the theme song came to the scene.

Lu Yanhe stood at the corner of the stage and before each song started, he used his role in that play to speak his most famous lines in that play.

The whole session is exquisitely arranged, some are relaxed, some are contemporary, some are exciting, some are lively.

The big screen of the live broadcast also cuts through Huang Kairen, Jiang Yuqian, Wang Jing, Liu Zi, He Jiang, Yan Liang, Li Zhibai, Zhan Yun and others from time to time. They are all stars of these dramas actor.

Most of the time, Lu Yanhe just stood in the darkness, listening to the singer's singing and watching the dancers on the stage.

Those songs and those dances are actually the story of that play and his memories of that play.

Lu Yanhe actually didn’t feel much during the rehearsal, but at this time, he felt something inexplicably.

I have actually filmed so many works.

His eyes were a little hot and he quickly held it back.

When the last performance ended and Lu Yanhe thought that the session was over and he could leave the stage, a VCR suddenly appeared on the big screen at the scene.

“Hi, Xiao Lu, I haven’t seen you for a while.” Director Luo Yuzhong appeared in the VCR.

Lu Yanhe turned to look at the big screen with surprise on his face and opened his mouth.

"It's an honor to be the director of your first play. Although you always say that I am your guide, I know that even if you don't meet me, with your talent, you will still shine as well as you do now." Luo Yuzhong said , "It's a pity that I can't come to the Blue Ribbon Awards with you this time, because You have done such an amazing thing. As a teacher, I should stand by your side. When I finish filming this drama, we will have dinner together. I hope that next time we come to Blue Ribbon together, It’s me who awards you the award.”

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded.

It was as if Luo Yuzhong was really standing opposite him.

The next second, Chen Bige appeared again.

"Hi, junior brother, Xiao Yanhe." After she said that, Wang Zhong suddenly stuck his head in and asked, "Where are you recording the VCR for Yan He?"

Chen Bige pushed Wang Zhong away, "Director, don't join in the fun, the recording has officially started."

She smiled again.

"The director and I are discussing the script you wrote, "Raise the Red Lantern." He just praised me for ten minutes about the script you wrote." Chen Bige sighed, "Every time at this time, I I just want to know how you can do so many things that we can’t do at this age?”

“I’ve never told you this, but you should know. "I'm very grateful that you can give me such a good script and such a good role to play," Chen Bige laughed, "From "Seventeen Floors" to "Rouge Button" to "Raise the Red Lantern." "In just a few years, we have already collaborated four times, and we are about to collaborate for the fifth time."

When Chen Bige said this number, he was shocked and in an uproar.

Five collaborations... For people in the entertainment industry, it may be difficult to collaborate with one person so many times in a lifetime.

“I am very happy that when I am no longer a young girl in my twenties, I met a creator like you.”

Lu Yanhe had no idea that the Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony would also be I fixed a VCR like this for him.

The host walked onto the stage.

“Lu Yanhe is only twenty-two years old this year. Such a young creator has become a heavyweight creator of our Chinese film and television dramas. Yan He, let’s interview him. After completing so many high-quality works, , after everyone’s favorite work, do you have any plans to share with us? I just heard that you have collaborated on a new work with Director Wang Zhong and Ms. Chen Bige, right?”
< br>

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Actually, it was written together with "Rouge Button". At that time, it was given to Sister Bi Ge. We shot "Rouge Button" first."

"How did you do it? Are you so creative?”

“This——” Lu Yanhe couldn’t be shy and say that he was special. I can write, so I had to say: "I don't know. Maybe it's mainly because I have an advantage over other screenwriting teachers. Because of my status as an actor, basically I never have to consider other people's opinions in any script or subject matter I write. So I can create very quickly.”

This is also a reason.

For a professional screenwriter, the time he spends actually writing the script is not that much. What consumes the most time and energy is the creative ideas, revision opinions and too many inexplicable comments coming from all directions. Need to make changes.

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "You just happened to ask, and I would also like to appeal to everyone to have more trust in the creator, leave criticism and scrutiny before deciding to cooperate with him, and once the decision is made, give the creative autonomy to the creator. Otherwise, it’s really difficult to produce good works.”

“Yan He said it was great,” the host praised.

Many people in the audience were applauding wildly.

“So, Yan He, one last question? In fact, you have worked with all kinds of directors and actors, including big names with numerous honors and newcomers who are just starting out. Can you work with me? Let’s share, how do you work so well with so many people and never have any disputes or conflicts?”

Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment and said, “I really can’t tell you. For some general reasons, let me talk about some common characteristics of the crews I participated in. First, basically every crew I participated in held several meetings before the crew officially started filming or prepared. During the script reading meeting, many of our doubts, discussions, and disputes about characters, lines, and understanding were actually completed at this stage and did not appear until the filming scene.”

"Second, it seems that our crew has never spent too much energy on things other than creation." Lu Yanhe laughed, "Who has more roles, who has less roles, whose role is in the front, whose role is At the back.”

Many people at the scene laughed.

"Finally, if you have anything to say, say it directly. Don't keep it in your heart. Whether you are dissatisfied or have different opinions, you must speak out." Lu Yanhe smiled, "Actually, I want to say, actually We had a lot of friends we had worked with at the beginning There was a bit of friction, and we didn’t have a good relationship from the beginning, but because we always said what we had to say, and no matter what, everyone was acting seriously, so we gradually came to understand each other later on.” Speaking of this. At that time, Lu Yanhe felt that he was still hypocritical.

However, in this situation, he couldn't say that he didn't like Li Yuefeng because he thought he was too utilitarian at first, and Zeng Qiao didn't like him because he didn't like his idol status at first. So there is a gap.

-

But for other people present, the effect that Lu Yanhe could say these words on such an occasion actually had far-reaching significance.

Especially the script reading.

Lu Yanhe did not expect that after he said this, several winners mentioned script reading when they came on stage to receive their awards and give speeches.

“Script reading is very important for the crew. We spend a few more days together to sort out the script and communicate about the shooting situation. During the subsequent shooting, the efficiency and quality can be improved without exaggeration. Twice." This is what the Best Cinematography winner said.

Then, inexplicably, everyone's speeches slowly began to focus on "how to shoot a good work and how to do your own job well." An awards ceremony slowly began to turn into a year-end debriefing conference and industry discussion. It’s time for the convention...

When it was announced that the winner of Best Actor was Liu Yu, many people’s first reaction was to come and see Lu Yanhe.

After all, everyone knew that he and Yan Liang were good enough to wear a pair of pants, but Yan Liang didn't win the prize.

Lu Yanhe had expected it and managed his expression very well, so he applauded heartily.

Yan Liang was also applauding.

Because I already knew that my chances of winning the prize were slim, I didn’t have high expectations.

The subsequent Best Actress winner was Lan Lin, an actress in her early thirties.

Both these two actors are familiar to the audience but not very popular. They are old faces but have few fans. The works that won the award this time are all realistic-themed works that they have always been deeply involved in. The broadcast data is not bad, there are many viewers, and everyone agrees with their performance - but they have not been converted into fans.

In this case, Chen Lingling gave them two grand prizes, which was actually a very strong signal.

It has to be a good performance, and it has to be a performance recognized by the audience.

Tonight's grand prize winners were almost no surprises. All the winners were considered capable of winning the prize from the beginning.

Fortunately, these winners all attended tonight's award ceremony.

There was no embarrassing situation where no one claimed the most popular awards.

On the other hand, those who did not attend the award ceremony actually had little hope of winning the award from the beginning.

After the award ceremony, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi went to the celebration dinner hosted by Boya, the sponsor of this award ceremony.

As soon as the two of them appeared, someone came over to say hello.

Almost everyone is asking about what dramas he is preparing for next and whether there are any roles suitable for him.

Lu Yanhe only said that he is indeed preparing for a few movies in the future, but they have not yet entered the casting stage. After entering the casting stage, he will definitely send everyone audition invitations.

At this time, Lu Yanhe said he would audition again, and there were far fewer actors who expressed disbelief.

They were used to not auditioning for roles in other production crews, so they had heard about Lu Yanhe's habits to some extent, and knew Lu Yanhe's requirements.

In fact, many actors are reluctant to audition. It’s not because their acting skills are bad and they don’t dare to audition. It’s because when they reach the age of thirty to forty, they are no longer young people who have just debuted. They have gained a certain degree of popularity and industry status. When others don't have to audition to get roles, if they need to audition, they will look particularly inferior, so they all use "not auditioning" as a symbol of their status.

Nowadays, no one objects to Lu Yanhe’s audition requirements, also because it has become a well-known thing in the industry that Lu Yanhe has to audition for his plays, so auditioning by yourself is no longer special.

To put it bluntly, many things are exaggerated by the media as if they are problems of artists and actors. In fact, many times, behind them are problems of the general environment.

The environment is the big dye vat.

-

The day after the Blue Ribbon Awards ended, "The Mist" officially began to be released in the United States and simultaneously in Europe.

Other countries and regions will be launched one after another.

South Korea in three days.

Horror movies like this, except for Japan, which will be delayed for a period of time due to special release policies, are released as soon as possible in other places because of the high timeliness.

Lu Yanhe set off for South Korea to attend the screening event in South Korea with everyone.

So, the moment the first-day box office numbers for The Mist came out, they were all in it together.

"The Mist" took in 12.5 million at the box office on Friday and Sunday in the United States, which was the same as the forecast of the forecast agency. Previously, box office estimates from forecasting agencies had adjusted the total US box office to between US$80 million and US$100 million.

The better news is that "The Mist" has a very good reputation among audiences, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 81%, which is a very good result for a horror film.

However, everyone also knows that according to the urinary nature of horror movies, it is actually difficult to have a long-term success in terms of box office and Rotten Tomatoes.

The results in the first and second weeks are the big ones.

The box office performance on the first weekend basically determines the fate of the movie, whether it is a success or a failure.

If the box office in the first weekend can reach more than 40 million, then this movie can be described as a "big success", because the cost was recovered by the box office in North America in the first weekend, but if the first weekend The weekend box office did not reach over RMB 40 million. Even though the total box office in the end still exceeded RMB 60 million, the money was recovered and a profit was achieved, but it cannot be described as "a great success".

Of course, for Lu Yanhe, in fact, this movie has already allowed him to "return to his roots" before it is released.

The early publicity strategy of this movie made him famous in Europe and the United States. He is more famous than many actors who have acted in four or five movies in Europe and the United States——

Moreover, Lu Yanhe is in The performance in this film has been praised by the American media and film critics.

This has actually put Lu Yanhe in the sights of many film companies, producers and directors.

Not to mention, those film studios who are very concerned about the Chinese box office market.

Several scripts have been sent over before this.

Judging from the number of Asian characters in Hollywood scripts and the fact that the movie has not yet been released, this sign is already very unusual.

It shows that Hollywood is also very optimistic about him.

However, none of the scripts that have been found so far are satisfactory to Chen Ziyan.

They are all very iconic Asian characters, full of stereotypes, not as rich as the Asian ghost character in "The Mist".

Completely unworthy of Lu Yanhe.

Chen Ziyan declined all of them. Of course, her refusal was not in vain. When she declined each script, she recommended several Chinese actors with relatively high suitability for the roles.

After all, although these scripts are not suitable for Lu Yanhe, they may not be an opportunity for other actors.

Especially those actors who don’t have many film appointments or who want to open up overseas markets.

-

In South Korea, almost no one knows Lily Williams. On the contrary, Lu Yanhe is a big star in their group.

Both the media and the people at the scene were almost all here for him.

Lily Williams was surprised. She said: "I thought you were only so popular in China. Haven't Koreans always disliked you Chinese?"

"Well, we don't see them much, but this does not affect the spread of our literary, film and television works." Lu Yanhe said, "I have a few dramas that are quite popular in South Korea, and their TV stations have adapted them for remakes."

Lu Yanhe also did not expect that Lily Williams would directly say "Don't Koreans always dislike you Chinese?"

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and added: "Lily, to be precise, there are many behaviors in South Korea that make us Chinese very angry. We have not stolen their culture and festivals."

Lily Williams: "...Okay."

Lily Williams asked again: "But, Lu, I want to know, if you don't like Korea so much, what will you do if you face How do you feel about so many Koreans liking you?”

"These are two different things. To be precise, it's not that I don't like South Korea, I don't like South Korea as it is now." Lu Yanhe said, "I have always hoped that this world can truly seek common ground while reserving differences and respecting each other, although I also know that , this is almost impossible, competition is inevitable, and contradictions will never disappear. When it comes to right and wrong, we should all still have a balance between right and wrong. Let me tell you that I don't like South Korea. At least I can tell you why I don't like it. I'm not deliberately looking for trouble, nor am I arrogantly discriminating against a certain country. ”

Lily Williams asked thoughtfully: “So do you like America?”

Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Between the two of us, because we are friends, if you like China, I like the United States."

Lily Williams thought deeply After a moment, he said: "Forget it, it's better not to worry about these issues."

"There is really no need to worry about it." "Except for issues of principle, being friends with you is just a matter between the two of us. It's still the same sentence: seek common ground while reserving differences," Lu Yanhe said, "I know you, and you know me, and you won't want to pass." It’s enough to hurt others to gain your own benefits, all hoping for world peace, right?”

Lily Williams nodded thoughtfully.

“I’m surprised that you can tell me this.” Lily Williams said, “I have also met several Chinese directors and actors, and they always keep secrets about such topics. , I don’t understand why you can’t discuss these issues.”

“Because it is too sensitive and can be misunderstood and interpreted maliciously, so it is better not to say anything.” Lu Yanhe explained, “If it weren’t for you, Me neither To be so specific. I have been in contact with you and known you for so long. I know that you are friends with me and will not distort and spread my words, so I told you."

Lily Williams. He sighed and said, "Well, there are indeed many people in Hollywood who like to distort and spread other people's words."

What Lu Yanhe wanted to say was actually not Hollywood, but since Lily Williams said so, he also Just laughed and said nothing.

After the screening in South Korea, they were interviewed by South Korea's TVN TV station.

At the same time, Saturday’s box office is also out.

The box office of "The Mist" in the United States on Saturday was a little higher than that on Friday, with a box office of 14.3 million.

This makes it very likely that the box office of "The Mist" will exceed US$40 million in its first weekend.

If this result can be achieved, the total box office of "The Mist" will most likely exceed 100 million.

When everyone in the crew found out about this result, they cheered together and went to a bar to have a drink to celebrate.

Lu Yanhe was originally going to go with him, but Kim Eonsook from TVN suddenly contacted him and said that Korean director Kim Jiyeon learned that he came to Korea and wanted to meet him.

When he heard this familiar name, Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment.

This is a great Korean director. He had previously thought about asking Sang Young-joo to act, but because some conditions could not be agreed upon, Sang Young-joo withdrew.

Director Kim Ji-yeon is one of the great directors in South Korea who is better at integrating business and art. The works have won awards at international film festivals, and the box office in South Korea is also very high. Several movies have more than 10 million viewers. The statistics of Korean movie box office are based on the number of movie viewers, which is also the same as other places. Very different.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while, told Chen Ziyan, and decided to meet director Jin Zhiyan.

According to what Chen Ziyan said, his next step is to become an international director and cooperate with directors from different countries - he has not yet cooperated with a Korean director.

However, after Chen Ziyan received his message, she sent a message: It’s okay to meet him, but be careful and don’t agree to anything. This person has a strong sense of locality and may not give it to you. A good character. He had thought about cooperating with Shang Yongzhou before, but the contact was not very pleasant.

Lu Yanhehui: Okay, I understand.

Chen Ziyan: But he is a great director. No matter what, you should respect him a little, especially since you are now internationally famous and influential. He may deliberately behave inappropriately because of this. Care about these auras around you, this person ...I have never been in contact with you, so I can’t make any comments, but based on the information I learned from various channels, this director is both arrogant and inferior at heart. When he says some harsh words to you, will you be able to bear it? Bear with me for a moment, this is Korea, and others suffer the disadvantage of not being familiar with the place.

Lu Yanhe: Okay, I understand.

Chen Ziyan: No, I have to explain to Zou Dong that you should bring more bodyguards.

Lu Yanhe: ...Sister Ziyan, I just went to have a friendly chat with a director, not to fight with anyone.

Chen Ziyan: It’s a good idea to be more prepared and cautious in a foreign country. Who knows what will happen.

Lu Yanhe: You made me suddenly nervous. (End of chapter)
