Lu Yanhe has been saying that he should star in a jump-up theater play, not only to give this theater a look, but also to send a signal -
This theater is not a fooling around. Even he, Lu Yanhe, is willing to star in one of the dramas, so the rest of you don't have to be so cautious and wait-and-see.
The script for "The Silent Staircase" has just been written.
Lu Yanhe read the script and nodded.
The quality of the script is very good. The whole story takes place in a house, which is a bit like a script kill - it is a very classic "Blizzard Villa" suspense story.
"This script is very good, I will act."
Lu Yanhe nodded, jumped up, and the theater released the first batch of film lists, which were divided into three parts:
[When it is popular, Make a sample】
1. "The Silent Staircase" starring Lu Yanhe.
2. "The Intern" starring Yan Liang.
3. "Love Negotiation" starring Jiang Yuqian.

[New cooperation, under negotiation]
Huang Kairen, Jiang Jun, Zhen Hongyu, Zhang Lan, Li Yuefeng, Bao Zhenzhu
……
The last line concludes: New theater, new mode, new gameplay, let’s do it for real!
Jump Up Theater originally attracted attention because it was a new collaboration spearheaded by the magazine Jump Up, and because Lu Yanhe participated in it, relying on his miraculous aura of success, it attracted much attention.
The release of the first batch of film lists has shocked the entire Internet.
Especially when the names of Lu Yanhe and the other leading actors are listed above, except for Cheng Hai, who is a bit weak, who among the others is not the most popular among the popular?
They all came to act in one of the films, not caring at all about its experimental and risky nature, and not caring about the high possibility of failure.
This makes many actors in the entertainment industry who are hesitant to wonder, have they not caught up with the best opportunity?
At this time, the monthly sales of "Jump Up" magazine, which had always been stable at around 200,000 copies, suddenly experienced new growth. While the March issue was reprinted twice, the pre-sales for the April issue were also sold out. Record.
Because everyone is interested in this theater, they are suddenly curious about what kind of novel can lead to such a large-scale film and television drama adaptation plan.

In order to build momentum for this theater, Chen Siqi accepted an interview with an entertainment news documentary program on Yuehu TV.
The theme is why we want to do jump theater.
"The main reason is of course because I want to add something to the magazine and brand of "Jump Up" and expand its influence." Chen Siqi said bluntly and did not tell lies, "From having this idea to finally finding the Platforms like Yuehutai and Northern Lights Video that share the same goals and work together have actually gone through a lot of twists and turns. Fortunately, Yan He’s cooperation with them on "Friends" gave us a basis for communication, and they are still More willing to listen to what we want to do "
"When we expressed our ideas, I was actually a little nervous because I had never done anything like this before, just adapting a novel that had been published in a magazine. In fact, I thought it was difficult to achieve for a long time. Unexpectedly, after everyone discussed and evaluated it, I actually felt that I could give it a try.”
“In the process of promoting this project, I actually became more and more determined. To do this, you know, to me For our authors, it is actually very difficult for short stories to be adapted into film and television dramas. The main channel for adaptation is movies. But as you know, such opportunities for adaptation are even more difficult when there is such a fixed theater. For many of our authors, at the very least, it can earn them a royalties, and at the most profound level, it can also make them known to more people.”
“As for the film and television drama industry. , I actually told Yan He, because after all, this is an experiment. Most of them are experimental, and we don’t know whether it will be successful. There is no need for him to use his hard-earned popularity with the audience and everyone’s trust in him to endorse this theater.”
“ But Yan He said that this theater is actually of great significance to the film and television drama market. It allows many directors who have no chance to prove themselves and many good actors who cannot get acting opportunities to have more opportunities. Prove yourself.”
"Just for a theater like ours, there are more than fifty plays a year. Of course, each play is very small, only about two hours long. Even so, it is still more than fifty projects. Throw it aside. Kai Yanhe, Sister Yuqian and other popular actors who come to sample, our theater, to be honest, mainly uses those who may usually Actors who are not well known to everyone will be cast by directors who are capable and talented but lack the opportunity to direct independently. Because the budget of our theater is relatively tight, everyone is afraid of losing money if they have never done it before.”

Following Chen Siqi’s explanation, Jump Up Theater officially announced the premiere time.
This theater will open on the first Sunday in May.
The first drama to be aired was "The Adventures of a Girl" with a brand new cast.
Immediately, some netizens ran to the comment section of Jump Up Theater and asked: Why didn’t Lu Yanhe or Jiang Yuqian star in the first drama? A good start to attract the audience?
The official Weibo also replied, saying: The objective reason is that the two dramas they starred in have not yet started shooting, and the broadcast time has not been determined. The more subjective reason is that we hope that through such a schedule, we can be reminded of this The theater’s positioning: to tap new blood in the film and television industry.

“This kid Lu Yanhe is really ruthless. He made such a jump and came out of the theater. It became lively after that.”
Luo Yuzhong went out to have a meeting with others. At that time, many people were discussing the jump theater.
For this new thing, just like when Lu Yanhe was doing weekly broadcasts, sitcoms, and filming and broadcasting at the same time, it caused great confusion in the industry. "It has to be played by young people. New things come out from time to time."
"What new things are there? Isn't it just that the number of episodes is getting fewer and fewer? It's better now. Instead of just making a two-episode drama, it would be better to just show it in theaters. Is this still a TV series? "
"Look at what you said, a two-episode drama can't be a drama? Huh? It’s good for Xiao Lu to come up with something new, which may lead to different creations.”
“Have you read the novels in the magazine “Jump Up”? Youth fantasies, either secret love confessions or suspenseful mysteries, are all things that young people like to watch, and they are not realistic at all.”
"What is realism? Does it have to be full of suffering and hatred to be realist?" Someone immediately retorted, "At least there is still such a magazine, which is constantly discovering new authors writing short stories, and there are different IP content.”
“Do you need to say more about the significance of Lu Yanhe’s theater to the film and television industry? I heard that they have signed many new directors and newcomers to this theater. It’s done by actors.”
“It sounds so nice, but it’s actually the new people that Yue Hutai and Northern Lights want to sign, and they have been training them for a long time.”
< br>“Regardless of whether these people are all new people who have signed contracts, this theater has brought new things and new trends. This is not a bad thing, right?”
……
Listening to the chats and arguments of the people around him, Luo Yuzhong, as Lu Yanhe's teacher, said nothing.
He will not interrupt at this time.
The controversy caused by Jump Up Theater is actually completely foreseeable. Because any new thing that appears is bound to be accompanied by doubts and opposition from some "conservatives."
What Luo Yuzhong admires very much about these two young people, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi, is that they never just talk but don't do it, they are very brave in doing it.
Both of them are action men who dare to take risks and try things out.
Chen Siqi's green plan failed and was ridiculed by many people. She was not affected by this and did not dare to try new things, so she turned around and started doing jump theater.
Lu Yanhe makes literary films and sitcoms, is his own screenwriter, and splits time with Beijing and Taiwan. Every attempt at transformation has aroused controversy, and in the end, it relied on its blinding results to silence all BB people.
As for what these two people wanted to do, Luo Yuzhong didn't want to participate in the discussion at all.
"Director Luo, what do you think of this jump-up theater?"
"Director Luo, don't be partial just because Lu Yanhe is your student."
"Will this jump theater have an impact on our current shooting model?"
......
Everyone was talking about it.
"I don't know." Luo Yuzhong's answer surprised everyone, "It's a new thing, it may succeed, just like "Friends", it may lead to the resurgence of our sitcoms. Failed, just like the Green Green Project, but for young people. I will definitely support the idea of doing something new, whether it succeeds or not. We are a creative industry, and we must constantly have new things coming out."
"Director Luo. Would you consider directing a dance drama? ”
"This theater mainly provides opportunities for new directors. At my age, I won't compete with them for opportunities. In fact, this is something I agree with. A new director has no experience. If he is asked to do a second or third job as soon as he comes up, A ten-episode long drama is very difficult and demanding, and a short drama with only three or two episodes is very difficult and demanding. It’s also more friendly to new directors and easy to get started with. Once you have experience, you’ll know what to do when shooting a long play.”
“I heard that the filming time for this theater is only one week. , can this guarantee the quality of filming?”
“A script of 30,000 to 40,000 words, before you The shooting plan for the first phase has been prepared, all departments have been coordinated, the storyboards have been clarified, and the daily shooting tasks have been determined. Isn’t the shooting time in a week very short? "Luo Yuzhong said, "I have read the scripts of several scenes in Jump Up Theater. , the story they chose is not the kind of difficult drama with a lot of scheduling. In terms of the amount of shooting, "It's actually more than enough to finish the filming in one week. Don't look at this theater with conventional shooting thinking. The positioning is different and the shooting mode is also different."
A veteran like Luo Yuzhong actually knows very well. Why is it so important to limit the shooting time to within a week?
Time itself has never been the determining factor in whether a film is good or not.
You know, in the history of film, many classic movies were actually shot in only ten or twenty days.
They have many more shots than jump theater scenes.
To put it bluntly, domestic film and television dramas are still weak in management and operation mechanisms, resulting in a lot of waste of resources and time consumption. But this time, at Jump Up Theater, they used the filming mode of "Friends", putting all the rehearsals and preparations in the front, and only filming on site, further improving the efficiency of filming.
"Director Luo, aren't you going to collaborate with your student on another play later? You haven't collaborated since "The Golden Age", and Director Chen Lingling is about to collaborate with him for the third time. "
"It's coming soon, just wait and see." Luo Yuzhong said with a smile.
