March just passed and as soon as April arrived, the Jose Film Festival announced the shortlisted films for this year’s main competition unit.
Chinese-language films "Love Letter" and "Fake Death" were both shortlisted.
Not only that, there are three other films shortlisted for other categories.
As a result, there are suddenly more Chinese-language films at this year’s Hollywood Film Festival.
"Love Letter" will be shortlisted, this is something Lu Yanhe has known for a long time. In a sense, he enjoys the treatment of a "direct descendant", and he was promised early on that he could be shortlisted for the main competition - of course, the Jose Film Festival will give this promise in order to prevent "Love Letter" from being ignored by other films. Taken away.
The same goes for "Fake Death".
Director Liu Bige's second film after "Late Spring" - although it is a romantic comedy film, this genre has always been a frequent visitor to film festivals.
For a director whose first film won the Silver Lion at the Venice International Film Festival, it is not surprising that his second film would receive such treatment.
This also means that the two Chinese films in the main competition section of this year's Spanish Film Festival are going to fight.
In media comments, Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai will compete fiercely for the Best Actor of this year's Dutch Film Festival.
Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.
He knew that his performance in "Love Letter" basically had no chance of becoming the best actor.
That is completely a symbolic role.
He himself has watched the film countless times. He is very satisfied with his performance in the film. Considering that he has acted in so many films, he can still appear in such a young, clean and a bit green state. In the movie, it's hard for him to imagine.
The more pure and clean the state, the harder it is to act. But that's not the difficulty of acting. Lu Yanhe felt that if a vote was held for the audience's favorite character, his male character Aijing Shu might be able to win in this selection, but it is almost impossible to compete for the best actor in terms of performance, and there is no chance.
In fact, the movie "Love Letter" is not a movie that wins in terms of acting. Even if Chen Bige plays two roles, it is not the kind of performance that can win an acting award. It is a very special movie, incomparable to its artistry and depth, but because it captures the emotions of secret love and regret in life to the extreme, it has become a classic in the hearts of the audience.
It seems that the two films will be rivals at this film festival, but in fact, neither film is a favorite to win the award. Lu Yanhe feels that "Love Letter" may be able to compete for the Audience Choice Award or the Best Screenplay Award - unfortunately, the Jose Film Festival does not award awards for other technical departments except for the Best Cinematography Award. Otherwise, the Best Soundtrack Award should also be acceptable. Fight for it.
As for "Fake Death", Lu Yanhe has not seen the movie yet, so he doesn't know what style this movie presents. He didn't know whether Liu Bige handled it more commercially or with a more personal style. You have to watch the film to know whether it has any hope of winning awards.
“The pressure is quite high. Both films have been shortlisted for the main competition. Now everyone has high hopes for us. If we don’t win the award, they will probably be very disappointed.”
When Lu Yanhe met Liu Bige, he smiled.
Liu Bige said: "There is still hope for "Love Letter" to win the award, right? I like this film very much."
"I don't know, who knows." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Although it was very artistic. , but I actually know that what it talks about is not the kind of proposition that the film festival is most interested in. "
The value expression of "Love Letter" is too shallow and not deep enough.
Liu Bige: "The Hollywood Film Festival is an audience vote. Judging from the results every year, "Love Letter" still has hope of winning the award."
"It's not necessarily true. I don’t think audiences in Europe and the United States can accept the style of this movie,” Lu Yanhe said, “But regardless of whether they accept it or not, this is the movie. I’m very satisfied with it, and that’s enough.”
"When is your movie going to be released?" Liu Bige asked.
“It will be around July or August during Valentine’s Day.” Lu Yanhe said, “Because the box office of this movie is expected to be between 100 million and 300 million, which is not a large box office. We The choice of schedules is quite large.”
“You have such a low box office estimate for “Love Letter”?”
Liu Bige was surprised.
After all, the cast of this movie is gorgeous. Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige lead the cast, and are joined by Wan Xin, Li Songfan and other powerful actors. The cast list is posted, and it is a very shocking cast lineup.
Lu Yanhe: "This movie is not in a commercial style and is relatively restrained. With the current market situation, it is estimated that it can get 100 to 300 million on the bright side. The subject matter and style determine the quality of this movie. Box office cap. But I believe this movie will grow with time. Fermentation, bringing a steady stream of copyright income on video websites and other licensing."
Especially five or ten years later, as this movie has become a symbol of secret love and regret in everyone's hearts. If it is re-released in theaters, the box office may be higher.
These are the achievements of the original movie.
"Moreover, if this movie can get 100 million at the box office, it will start to make a profit." When Lu Yanhe was filming "Love Letter", he was very worried about making a mistake, so he controlled the cost very much.
Many people think that with the appeal of Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige, this movie will definitely hit the box office. Only Lu Yanhe himself is very calm and sober, always controlling the worst results. The purpose of making this film was to not put too much pressure on myself later on.
Because of this, Lu Yanhe was able to edit the film according to its original appearance in the later stage without making any commercial adjustments, restoring the original appearance of the film to the greatest extent.
Of course, Lu Yanhe’s films are indeed different from other Chinese films.
There are many profit channels for his movies, and he does not rely solely on domestic theater box office revenue. His movies can earn eight figures in US dollars from overseas copyrights alone - not counting subsequent income.
The basic income from overseas copyrights of his films can reach such a high level not only because of his own popularity and appeal - in fact, there are only a handful of movie stars in the world who have such appeal. .
The main reason why this number can be achieved is that Lu Yanhe's Linghe Film and Television Production Company has established sales channels and maintained friendly cooperative relationships around the world in recent years, plus the shortlisting of "Love Letter" Thanks to the fact that it is the main competition unit of the Hollywood Film Festival, it can achieve such basic income.
To put it bluntly, "Love Letter" is a good product that became popular before it was released, and a large number of viewers have been waiting to buy it. And Linghe has a sales channel that basically covers the whole world. Although it does not have its own distribution network like Hollywood film companies, they can at least connect with many distribution companies and sell "Love Letter".
Why do Chinese-language films mostly rely on domestic box office? The most important point is that they actually don’t have many contacts with overseas distributors. Even if they have good works, in most cases, it is difficult to promote them on a large scale. They can only be released in certain markets - the conditions for release and The results are still average. Even if it is sold, the price will not go up.
In fact, do film and television dramas have to be well shot in China to be sold?
The actual situation is not like this.
For example, in the eyes of many people, the Tang Dynasty has been left far behind. The film and television dramas produced in the past few years have basically been a hit on the street, but they may not have really lost money. In their early years, they relied on With the advantages that we have established, no matter how popular domestic dramas are, they can be sold to many overseas TV stations and websites.
Another example is Chief Jia. If his movies had really relied on the domestic box office to make money, they would have lost all their money long ago. In fact, relying on the fame accumulated at international film festivals and the contacts with distributors in various countries accumulated over the years, his movies do not need to be released domestically. The overseas sales alone are enough to make him a lot of money. The money is full, and this amount of income is not missing at all.
This is also the case with Lu Yanhe’s movies.
-
Maxine, HP and Parameter all three streaming media companies launched bids for "Love Letter".
Generally speaking, the price of other copyrights of a movie is often determined based on its theater box office performance, and the difference will be huge.
However, with the rise of streaming media, more and more movies are being screened directly on streaming media globally without going to theaters. As a result, the copyright pricing of streaming media has entered a new stage.
Lu Yanhe's "Love Letter" will definitely be screened in theaters in Asia. As for Europe and the United States, there is no requirement for it to be shown in theaters. Unless "Love Letter" can win an award at the Jose Film Festival or become a huge topic of discussion, in this case, "Love Letter" may be able to win hundreds of movies in Europe and the United States relying on the momentum of the Jose Film Festival. 10,000 US dollars at the box office. Otherwise, given the subject matter and style of this movie, it would be difficult to achieve relatively good box office results.
Maxine wants to directly obtain the global distribution rights except for mainland China, and screen the film globally on Maxine without going to theaters. To this end, they also paid a high buyout fee, which was a very attractive figure, US$30 million, to buy out the five-year exclusive screening rights outside mainland China.
This number is actually very high. Of course, if "Love Letter" is a hit at the Jose Film Festival, that's another story. Maxine is offering this price now because she is actually taking advantage of the fact that she still doesn’t know what will happen to this popular film at the Jose Film Festival, so she wants to be the first to get it and grab her own piece of it.
Lu Yanhe held a meeting with people from the company to discuss it and rejected Maxine’s current offer.
They all agreed that they could wait for the film's world premiere at the Jose Film Festival to see the media's comments before deciding whether to directly screen the film globally on streaming media or sell distribution rights separately.
The special thing about the movie "Love Letter" is that everyone thinks that this movie can achieve good box office results in several major Asian ticket warehouses such as Japan and South Korea, because Youth The theme of love has always been popular in these two countries. And Lu Yanhe himself knows very well that the movie "Love Letter" will definitely do well at the box office in Japan. After all, the original version is a Japanese movie and has achieved great success.
In addition, although the movie "Love Letter" is not a mainstream commercial film, if it can gain some success at the Jose Film Festival, with the influence of the Jose Film Festival, it will gain popularity in Europe and the United States. It is not difficult to earn tens of millions of dollars at the box office. In recent years, the most popular films at the four major international film festivals, even if they are literary films, have basically been able to earn tens of millions of dollars at the global box office, and some can even exceed 100 million US dollars.
Based on its reputation and awards at the Hollywood Film Festival, "Rouge" has also earned tens of millions of dollars in box office overseas, especially in South Korea. In this market alone, it has earned more than 500 million dollars. million dollars at the box office. Otherwise, TVN wouldn't be so quick to remake this movie into a Korean drama.
Maxine did not expect that they all offered a high price of 30 million US dollars, and Lu Yanhe and the others rejected it.
After HP heard about it, Tom White immediately realized that Lu Yanhe and the others were definitely not dissatisfied with the price. US$30 million was already a very high price for a non-commercial film. Is it a cooperative model? Tom White has always understood Lu Yanhe's thoughts better than Zhong Benzhuo. He soon realized that Lu Yanhe himself should still hope that "Love Letter" could be released in theaters.
Generally, movie creators who have some ambitions still hope that their movies can be released in theaters. This is because so far, none of the movies exclusively shown on streaming media has achieved super high influence and achieved the kind of cultural influence that exceeds that of theatrical movies. Even if many filmmakers can get double their usual salary from a streaming movie, they will still choose movies from traditional movie studios because of this consideration.
Whether it is media reviews, audience impressions, or mainstream awards, a movie that has made hundreds of millions of dollars in box office is definitely more valuable to a creative person than a popular movie that has won one week on streaming media. The blessing of the person should be greater.
Everyone still believes in the theater performance of selling real money one ticket at a time.
It is not surprising that Lu Yanhe has such an idea.
Tom White thought about it and decided to give up exclusivity, as long as he had streaming rights around the world except mainland China. Of course, in this way, the price they offered would be much lower. However, Tom White believed that Lu Yanhe and the others would agree to this condition. Sure enough, Lu Yanhe did not refuse Tom White's proposal immediately. He only said that we would discuss the specific details after the film was screened at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
This means there is something to talk about.
For current streaming media, the pattern has basically been formed, and the strategies of major streaming media have also entered the next stage from spending money to seize the market. The Asian region is a new growth point for their users. How to expand the Asian market as much as possible is what they have been working hard for the past few years.
HP is not as good as Maxine in this regard. "River of Silence", "Friends", "Seventeenth Floor", "Squid Game" and many other Chinese dramas that have performed well in the Asian market have been included in Maxine's bag. With Ben-suk Chung's involvement, almost all the people in the Korean film and television industry have been included. A front-line creative talent, Maxine has always ranked first in market share in Asia in recent years.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Tom White. HP itself entered the Asian market later than Maxine. When Tom White came to take charge of the Asian market, Zhong Benshuo had already been operating here for several years.
In fact, under Maxine's offensive, HP can still maintain its current market share, which has proved Tom White's ability in it.
The dramas "Seventeenth Floor", "Friends" and "Squid Game" are not collaborations between Lu Yanhe and Maxine. When Lu Yanhe did these dramas before, his right to speak was not as high as it is now. , are all decisions made by Beijing, Taiwan and Northern Lights.
For the few new dramas Lu Yanhe is working on now, because of the relationship between Tom White and Lu Yanhe, they basically have more in-depth discussions with HP. Whether it is "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that Lu Yanhe is preparing to develop, or the movie "Burning" starring Lu Yanhe, Tom White has been approached early and a preliminary intention of cooperation has been reached.
Tom White is not only interested in Lu Yanhe's project. Since "The Gold Rush" recommended by Lu Yanhe to HP achieved good results, Tom White bought "Washe" starring Li Zhibai. , the broadcast was pretty good. After that, Tom White signed a cooperation agreement with Lu Yanhe, and Lu Yanhe became HP's recommendation officer - recommending suitable movies and TV series to HP.
When these dramas are released on HP, the promotional pictures will be marked with very eye-catching large characters: Recommended by Lu Yanhe.
In HP, there is also a search tag called "Lu Yanhe Recommended", which has become a choice tag for HP users to watch dramas.
Basically, the movies and TV series recommended by Lu Yanhe and purchased by HP can achieve pretty good results in HP.
The overseas broadcast rights of "Top of the Mountain" were also won by HP. This drama mainly features Yan Liang, who still has a certain degree of influence and popularity among overseas streaming media user groups. There are several dramas hanging behind his name, so even if everyone doesn't know who he is, they must have heard of the dramas he starred in.
As soon as "Top of the Mountain" finished airing in mainland China, it was seamlessly released on HP.
HP still values this drama very much and has specially done a series of launch promotions.
Among them are the creators of "Friends" and the creators of "Gold Rush" who recorded videos to recommend the show "Top of the Mountain" to everyone.
Zhong Benshuo was very unhappy when he saw that the main creative staff of "Friends" collectively recorded a recommendation video for "Top of the Mountain".
However, it is impossible for him to lose his temper or anything because of this.
These two dramas still have many loyal fans overseas. As soon as the two promotional videos came out, they immediately attracted a lot of attention to "Top of the Mountain".
HP is also very cruel. It announced three days before the broadcast that "Top of the Mountain" will not require HP membership, but will be available to global audiences and will be broadcast for free. It’s clear that we need to use free broadcasts to attract registered users.
Of course, they were able to broadcast the drama "Top of the Mountain" for free for the first three days because the procurement cost of "Top of the Mountain" was much lower than other homemade dramas, which was just right. can be used for such business attempts. And "Top of the Mountain" has a certain amount of buzz in itself. It has many publicity points such as starring Yan Liang, China's most popular drama series this year, and being recommended by the creators of "Friends" and "Gold Rush", which is enough to generate a certain amount of buzz and attract a group of viewers. Watch this show.
What the three days of free broadcasting brought to the drama "Top of the Mountain" was that "the global audience exceeded 5 million within 24 hours of its first broadcast."
This drama reached the fourth position in HP’s global weekly hit list in just three days.
After three days, "Top of the Mountain" will become a subscriber and can be watched.
According to HP's backend data, "Top of the Mountain" brought more than 200,000 new subscribers to HP on the first day it switched to paid subscriptions. These more than 200,000 new subscribers were the largest number ever. Users who do not have a top-up subscription with HP. HP's standard membership is US$12.99 a month, which means that "Top of the Mountain" directly brought more than 2.5 million US dollars in revenue to HP on this day. Not to mention, there are many viewers who are originally subscribers and who can potentially be converted into subscribers later.
Even because of the popularity of "The Top of the Mountain", another drama "The Gold Rush" starring Yan Liang on HP has also started to increase in numbers. After watching "The Top of the Mountain", many viewers are attracted by the protagonist because of the popularity of "The Top of the Mountain". Yan Liang then clicked on "The Gold Rush".
Compared to the purchase price of "The Mountain", HP's return on the drama "The Mountain" can be said to be very impressive.
Going back to Yan Liang, whether it is "Top of the Mountain" or "The Gold Rush", in the scope of global film and television dramas, they can be described as high-quality dramas that are popular in a small area. Although it did not become a global hit, it has also accumulated loyal fans of the show.
Zhou Pingan unceremoniously described Yan Liang as an internationally renowned actor in his press release.
-
“They are all tied together. They are really not to be underestimated. Even Yan Liang has been pushed to such a high position.”
In the circle of agents, "Shan" The comeback trend of the drama "The Peak" and Yan Liang's luck in having several dramas in a row have become the content of their envy and heated discussion.
“We are all fighting alone, for fear of being taken advantage of by others. Alas, how can we compete with a few of them.” Liu Zefan’s manager Li Xia was very helpless, “They support and promote each other. , This is too cruel, there is no comparison.”
In fact, Liu Zefan, who became popular again with "Squid Game", is not less popular and well-known overseas than Yan Liang, because the role of the young policeman played by Liu Zefan is indeed too popular, and he is basically one of the leading actors. The most popular character outside.
However, despite this, the limitations of an actor are reflected at this moment. No one pushed him, no one made connections. After leaving "Squid Game", Liu Zefan's other dramas were not in the eyes of those streaming media. Of course, other dramas starring Liu Zefan are still snatched up by major platforms in China, because Liu Zefan is indeed very popular, but compared with Yan Liang's situation, it is much weaker.
Both "The Gold Rush" and "Top of the Mountain" were favored by HP because of Lu Yanhe's recommendation, and they relied on HP's attention and effective publicity to effectively broadcast the dramas on HP. No matter how others talk about Yan Liang, it is entirely because of Lu Yanhe that he has reached this point. At least now, Yan Liang has several popular dramas in hand, and his popularity, popularity, and influence have all solidly fallen on his head.
It turns out that it was Lu Yanhe who stood out all by himself, leaving all the male actors of his age behind. Now, not only is he alone, Yan Liang has also established a firm foothold in the drama industry after three consecutive explosions. , vaguely has the momentum of being a top niche actor in the drama industry, and his performance in the drama industry seems to be comparable to that of Lu Yanhe.
Especially now, domestic actors are very lacking in overseas popularity and influence.
Yan Liang's few effective dramas have allowed him to surpass other domestic actors of the same age.
"Zhou Ping'an's eyebrows have almost shot up to the sky recently."
"Why is he so lucky?" Another agent was puzzled and depressed, "One by one, one by one left. , and another one came up in an endless stream. Did he worship some Bodhisattva who gave him such a good life? "
Li Xia's face turned dark immediately.
Mengli was her artist before, but was poached by Zhou Pingan.
Although Meng Li is not a fuel-efficient lamp in her hands, she is a first-line actress after all, and her annual income is seven figures. Is it an artist that Zhou Pingan poached? No, it's her property!
Li Xia took a deep breath.
"Actually, Sister Xia, you are very lucky. Zefan participated in "Squid Game", and so many people died in the first season, but the character of Zefan is still alive. It is obvious that he will be in the second season. There are more serious roles in the second season, which is really enviable."
Li Xia immediately waved her hand, "That was also the role that Zefan auditioned for. Fortunately, Li Yuefeng gave up on it. Audition, otherwise this role may not be Zefan’s.”
“I heard that Li Yuefeng has a good relationship with Lu Yanhe now. Maybe Lu Yanhe will write another role for Li Yuefeng in the second season.”< br>
“That’s really not certain. However, if he collides with Zefan, will Zefan’s role in the second season be weakened?”
Li Xia: "This can only depend on Lu Yanhe's arrangements. What other opinions can we have? Who dares to give opinions on the script written by Lu Yanhe?"
"Don't say that, we should fight for it. You still have to fight for it. Zefan's character is so popular. If I were you, I would definitely make a request to give Zefan a bigger role in the second season. This is also true in itself. Reasonable demand."
"What will you do if Lu Yanhe doesn't give you more?"
"If he doesn't give you more, then I won't. Of course, there is nothing you can do, but maybe he will. Just added it? He also hopes that the sequel of "Squid Game" will be more popular?"
Li Xia smiled and didn't take what this person said seriously.
She was crazy to be incited like this.
However, with the attitude Lu Yanhe is showing now, as long as Liu Zefan does not backstab him and continues to cooperate well, Lu Yanhe will never treat Liu Zefan badly.
They should also show more sincerity.
After being reminded, Li Xia immediately contacted Chen Siqi.
-
Chen Siqi brought the phone screen to Lu Yanhe and showed it to him.
"What?" Lu Yanhe was watching the latest issue of "Jump Up", when suddenly a mobile phone screen appeared in front of his eyes, and he looked down.
Chen Siqi said: "Liu Zefan's agent Li Xia sent me a message, asking if there are any dramas that Liu Zefan needs to act in Jump Up Theater. If necessary, their schedules can be coordinated before August this year. You can come and shoot at any time, and the pay is whatever you want. Let's go."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and said, "Did she send it on her own initiative?"
"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "I didn't expect that she would send it on her own initiative? Such a message comes over.”
Lu Yanhe said: "Liu Zefan is quite popular now, isn't he? He shouldn't be short of acting roles?"
Chen Siqi said: "Of course, he is much more popular than you now. You are popular again, serious fans. The number may not be as large as his. His girlfriend’s fans are very exaggerated. Just look at his Weibo and you will know. Each post has more than a million retweets and comments.”
Lu Yanhe: “Then why does Li Xia keep her posture so low and want Liu Zefan to take pictures? "
Chen Siqi rolled her eyes at him.
“Are you stupid? They want to reciprocate your kindness and express their gratitude to us.”
Lu Yanhe came to his senses and let out a sigh.
The main reason why he didn't think in this direction was because he didn't feel that Liu Zefan needed to express his gratitude to him for reciprocating his kindness.
Liu Zefan came to film "The Squid Game" and he got the role through a serious audition. He didn't go through the back door or get involved. During the filming process, he was conscientious and worked very hard.
He chose Liu Zefan because Liu Zefan was the best choice. Moreover, Liu Zefan was not a newcomer at that time. He was already the leading actor in a hit fairy tale drama. It is a mutually beneficial cooperation in itself.
What’s more, Liu Zefan is going to film the second season.
At that time, before Lu Yanhe started writing the script for the second season, he told Liu Zefan's agent Li Xia and asked them to reserve a schedule.
At this time, Liu Zefan really doesn’t need to do these things to express his gratitude. We will continue to cooperate in the future.
It just so happened that Li Xia did it at this time.
Lu Yanhe: "Then let's see if there is a script suitable for Liu Zefan and send him a script."
"You accepted it so readily?" Chen Siqi asked. She was a little surprised and felt that this was not Lu Yanhe's usual style. Lu Yanhe didn't like to be gratefully expressed by others, and he didn't like to take advantage of others at such times.
"Why did you accept it happily?" Lu Yanhe said, "Li Xia may think that letting Liu Zefan come to Jump Up Theater is to express her gratitude to me, but I don't think so. All the scripts coming out of Jump Up Theater that have passed the review are of good quality. , otherwise it will not pass our three-party evaluation. He is willing to perform, which is a win-win situation.”
Jump Up Theater has not officially launched yet, so it is still unknown in many people’s minds. Only Lu Yanhe knows what a great thing the Jump Up Theater is doing——
Although the current investment in this theater's dramas is not high, it is unable to produce the kind of exquisite and high-end dramas on Fuhua Dao. However, at the script level, the requirements are very high.
Every script that goes into filming needs to be evaluated by Yuehutai, Northern Lights Video and Jump Up. Otherwise, it will either be sent back to revise the script, or a new screenwriter will be found to adapt it again.
Jump Theater pays much more attention to scripts than the average level in the industry.
Lu Yanhe neither thinks that Jump Up Theater took advantage of Liu Zefan for filming, nor does he think it was his luck that Liu Zefan came to star in Jump Up Theater. Lu Yanhe feels very good about this kind of cooperative relationship. Under such circumstances, there is really no need to talk about reciprocating love.
-
On this day, Lu Yanhe made an appointment with Luo Yuzhong to quickly finalize the casting for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" before the Jose Film Festival in May. After all, if "Legend of Sword and Fairy" needs to start filming in the second half of this year, preparations will have to start quickly.
They have already decided in the early stage. Due to the salary budget, the three main female characters in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Ling'er, Yueru and Anu, will all be played by newcomers.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yuzhong asked to meet Yan Lingyu, the heroine of "Late Spring".
He felt that Yan Lingyu's temperament was quite suitable for Ling'er.
Lu Yanhe was confused for a moment and did not react.
Lu Yanhe originally thought that the role of Linger was the most difficult to find an actor for. After all, it is the classic role of the fairy sister. To find a look and temperament that can rival the fairy sister, it took the original time and space twenty years to find a second one, which shows how difficult it is. Who knew, Luo Yuzhong already had a candidate in mind.
But, Yan Lingyu?
When Lu Yanhe was filming "Late Spring", Yan Lingyu's acting skills were the most average among the actors. She was naturally close to Yin Yue in the story simply because of her image and temperament, so she was spotted by Liu Bige and let her play the role in her true character.
He subconsciously didn't want to work with an actor with mediocre acting skills again.
But the person who proposed this idea was Luo Yuzhong, his teacher and the director he respected from the bottom of his heart. Of course, Lu Yanhe couldn't refuse at this time. He sent a message to Yan Lingyu and asked her when she would be free. .
Yan Lingyu is one year younger than him and just graduated this year.
Since "Late Spring", she has acted in two more movies, but neither of them made much noise, and the reviews were not very good, including her acting skills, which were criticized by many people. I don't know if it is for this reason, but Yan Lingyu has acted in these two movies in the past few years.
Yan Lingyu quickly replied to Lu Yanhe, saying that she was in Yuming, but she didn't want to be an actress anymore, which confused Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe quickly called her and asked her what was going on. Why did she suddenly not want to be an actor?
Yan Lingyu said: "Maybe I am not very good at acting and am not suitable for this profession."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
At this moment, Lu Yanhe suddenly felt a little worried Guilty, guilty for having disliked Yan Lingyu's poor acting skills before.
"You have just graduated from acting school. You will have many opportunities to improve your acting skills in the future. Why did you give up so early?" Lu Yanhe advised, "Director Luo wants to meet you because Director Luo and I have a movie. We need to cooperate in the play, and there is a character in it who thinks your image is very suitable and wants to chat with you in person.”
Yan Lingyu said frustratedly: "Yan He, please help me say thank you to Director Luo, but I really don't want to be an actor anymore."
Lu Yanhe was really shocked.
This was something he had never thought of before.
