Able to sell globally -
This sentence touched Chen Siqi.
They have been thinking of ways to promote the sales and distribution of "Jump Up" overseas.
However, in an environment where physical books are increasingly declining, it is indeed difficult to go against the trend like in China.
In the past two years, they have tried various methods, but have not seen any improvement.
In terms of overseas publishing and distribution, we have always been at a loss.
The main reason is of course not the general environmental problem of physical books - if there is a reason for failure because the general environment is not good, then there is no need to take any action at all,
However, movies are universal. Taking this international film festival as an opportunity, we invite film critics to write an article to record this trip. The focus is to write down their attitude towards the movie and their comments on the movie they watched. These film critics have audiences all over the world. Although they may not have as many fans as other celebrities and stars, those who really pay attention to them will usually read the articles as long as they are published.
Chen Siqi felt inexplicably that this plan was feasible and reliable.
"The printing volume in each place may not be very large. Except for China, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, the first printing volume can reach 10,000 copies. In other places, according to our calculations, it is only a few thousand copies. " Linyu also directly put the market forecast calculation sheet she made with the marketing department in front of Chen Siqi, "However, we are all optimistic about the long-term sales of this book. "
Chen Siqi nodded, picked it up and took a look at it, and said: "I think it is feasible, but we have not communicated this matter with the film critics who came to the film festival before. We have to communicate this matter with them as soon as possible and see if they Are you willing to participate? ”
Although he said this, Chen Siqi felt that it should not be difficult.
The main job of a film critic is to write articles.
This is no difficulty or problem for them.
Linyu said: "For our project, we can actually apply for some domestic cultural funds, which can reduce our risk of loss."
Chen Siqi shook his head directly: "Our film festival does not have any official background. If it receives funding from the cultural fund, it may be deliberately used by some foreign media to exaggerate some negative things. This is not good for our entire overseas development plan. . This book will definitely be produced in Chinese first. When the time comes, we will discuss it with overseas publishers to see how it can work out. The cost we need to bear in the early stage is actually the manuscript fee and translation fee, as well as some basic expenses for book publishing. What we need to do in the future depends on the situation. Even if we make a loss in the end, it will be fine. The losses are all small losses, as long as they are conducive to the main contradiction of establishing the influence of our entire Jump brand overseas.”
Linyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"It would be great if you agreed to do this." She said, "I was originally worried that you would not be willing to do it. After all, there are so many things going on at the film festival, and the sales prospects of this book are not very good."
"No, I think the idea of this book is great. For a film festival, if you do it, what will be left behind?" Chen Siqi said, "We are indeed doing live audience Q&A. There are also several forums and live broadcasts, and video and audio will be left behind. However, these can only be used as recording resources. But this book can be sold forever - if we can make it a 'bible' that all movie lovers know. In fact, many books in the movie genre are like this, and are accessible to the public. It’s not famous, but it has been selling well in its own small field.”
Linyu nodded.
"Then let's start pushing forward," she said with a big smile.
-
"You also want me to write an article?" Lu Yanhe showed a bit of surprise.
"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "As one of the organizers of this film festival, you will also participate. If you don't write an article, this book will be incomplete. Of course, from a commercial perspective, you write an article. It is also beneficial to our cooperation negotiations with various publishers for this book.”
When Lu Yanhe heard this, he didn't hesitate, "Well, I'm just afraid that I won't be good at writing, so I just write some small articles on my own. Compared with these professional film critics, my articles seem superficial."
< br>
"Different genres. Moreover, as a filmmaker who has achieved such great success all over the world, you say you are superficial?" Chen Siqi rolled his eyes at Lu Yanhe, "I advise you not to be too modest. Excessive modesty is also a form of arrogance.”
Lu Yanhe laughed.
The phone rang suddenly.
It turned out to be a call from Wang Zhong.
"Director?" Lu Yanhe answered the phone in surprise, "What are your instructions?"
"I just want to ask, will you hold a party or gathering for the Film Critics Film Festival you are going to hold at the end of the month?" Wang Zhong said, "If so, I would like to ask you to give me a few invitations. There are several children in my company who are their readers. If I have the chance, I would like to meet them in person.”
Lu Yanhe said: "We have made three event plans that will invite friends in the industry. Director, how many people do you have there? I will send you the invitation letter."
"Okay, I have a total of three here. You can give me four. I will come with you when I have time." Wang Zhong said, "This film festival you and Siqi organized was not easy, and there was no sponsorship. , Just do it yourself?”
Lu Yanhe: "This is our first time, and we are afraid that too many external factors will deteriorate the nature of this film festival, so we are a little cautious. We have not done it on a large scale, and the cost is not very high, so we have to bear it ourselves. .”
Wang Zhong: "Okay, I wish you all the best for this film festival. See you later."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe smiled and told Chen Siqi the meaning of Wang Zhong's call.
Chen Siqi: "The industry is quite concerned about our film festival. Many people from film and television companies, including platforms, have contacted us and want to participate and do it together, but I have refused. In fact, it is just a film festival for film critics. Our Chinese film festival Basically, they don’t rely on overseas markets. They just think it’s new and just join in the fun, and they don’t really think that such a film festival is really worth doing anything.”
Lu Yanhe: "Fewer people from outside, more pure discussions, try to concentrate on those social occasions that have nothing to do with movie discussions, this will make everyone feel more comfortable."
"Yeah." Chen Siqi nodded.
Lu Yanhe is a typical character of this kind.
He does not resist social interaction, but he does not want to be in a social state all the time.
He would rather have a concentrated period of time to focus on a certain type of matter, just like when he was doing publicity.
If at the end of the day you have to act, write scripts, accept interviews, and deal with other chores, and one or two unfamiliar people come to chat with you, it will really make you explode.
Chen Siqi: "It's just that "Love Letter" will not be screened at the film festival this time. Several film critics who came to participate expressed their doubts."
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: ""Love Letter" is not a film suitable to be placed in such a film festival and discussed and analyzed as a text."
Chen Siqi: "But the movie should start publicity right?"
"The early publicity has not stopped, but we are indeed going to do intensive publicity for the Chinese Valentine's Day release." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Although I have been emphasizing that the box office of this movie may only be 100 to 300 million, it will not be too big." It’s high, but people in the company still think that the box office can be improved.”
"You can't look at movies with this theme based on common sense. As long as they are related to the four words youth love, or as you said, they are generally small-scale box office. If you and Sister Bi Ge weren't starring, it would be normal. Under the circumstances, it is tens of millions in size, but once this film stirs up the topic, poke If it hits the current emotional point of remembering youth, the box office will take off like a tornado," Chen Siqi said, "This type of movie is different from hard industrial movies, and it is different from creative movies. It’s also different, especially depending on the degree of social discussion.”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Sister Zi Xing and I have already made a publicity plan."
"Sister Zi Xing? Isn't she currently busy with the production of "China in Classics" and other programs?" Lu Yanhe said, "She just made "The Birth of an Actor" not long ago, and now she is finally back , to do her favorite cultural programs.”
Chen Siqi said: "We decided to make a new show and use this show to promote "Love Letter"."
"What?" Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Siqi in disbelief, "Doing a new show to promote a movie? Is this too exaggerated?"
Chen Siqi shook his head: "It's not an exaggeration. The show "Rooftop Confessions" is very popular and has been around for a long time. What we want to do is actually a bit similar to this. We want to make a show called "How Are You? I'm Very Good" The program collects ten secret love stories from across the country, writes the secret love stories into a letter, and invites the person who has the crush to read the letter. ”
Lu Yanhe's eyes widened in shock, "Let the crush write the secret love story into a letter, and let the crush read the letter on the show? What kind of operation is this?"
Chen Siqi: "At the end of the program, the person with a crush is asked to guess the identity of the letter writer. If they guess correctly, we will provide them with a date trip and an opportunity for them to get acquainted and communicate with each other again. If they guess not correctly, we will provide them with a date trip." , the person who is secretly in love will never know who wrote the letter and who is secretly in love with it.”
Lu Yanhe: "Who came up with the idea for this show?"
"Sister Zi Xing." Chen Siqi said, "I just said that the theme of "Love Letter" is letters and secret love, and then she came up with this idea."
"Why do I feel that this show will be a hit?" Lu Yanhe said, "But the premise is, where can you collect these stories from?"
Chen Siqi: "Sister Zi Xing's team has begun to collect relevant stories through their channels. Of course, we will also conduct an open collection nationwide, which itself is also a part of the promotion of "Love Letter". However, for this program, we plan to We will start broadcasting two weeks before "Love Letter" is released. Before "Love Letter" is released, we will only broadcast two episodes, two secret love stories, so as not to fatigue the audience. We will control these rhythms, so you don't have to worry. ”
Lu Yanhe: "The idea of this program... I can imagine what kind of attention and discussion this program will arouse as long as the people and stories are good enough."
Chen Siqi smiled.
"But people are quite hard to find, so we don't have a fixed number of how many issues we must do. If we find a few stories, we will do them. The image of the person involved must be good-looking, and it must satisfy everyone's good memories of the person they had a crush on when they were young. There must be regrets, special and touching stories, and we should try to find three such stories." Chen Siqi said.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.
"I don't know what to say...I told you just now that I think the box office of "Love Letter" may not be that high, but after hearing you talk about your promotion method, I suddenly felt that the box office of the movie, It might really explode.”
Chen Siqi: "Linghe paid us an eight-figure publicity fee, so we have to show some housekeeping skills no matter what."
There was a proud smile on her face.
"Moreover, this program can also earn another royalty fee." Chen Siqi said, "We have already had preliminary communication with Northern Lights Video and Icefield Video about this program, and the program will be broadcast on these two platforms together."
Without celebrity artists, the production cost of such a program would actually be very low. Instead, in order to let more people know about the program, the program itself needs to be promoted.
Chen Siqi said: "You spent tens of millions of dollars in promotional fees to come to us to promote the movie, and we have to spend a large amount of it to promote the program. However, we all feel that this program is suitable for the direction of movie promotion. The degree is very high and worth doing.”
Lu Yanhe: "I also think that just by listening to you talk about the creativity of this program, I think it is worth doing."
No show has ever done this.
-
Lu Yanhe's schedule suddenly became busy.
The first is the preparation of preliminary promotional materials for "Love Letter"——
Recording talk shows, shooting magazines, recording various promotional materials with Chen Bige and Zhang Ruozhi who just finished the college entrance examination, etc.
The second is the preparation for the Film Critics International Film Festival——
Although Lu Yanhe does not need to do specific work, he needs to personally contact many important people, including the chairman of the Jose Film Festival who had previously said he would come.
The third is the script for the second season of "Friends" and the script for the second season of "Squidward".
Of these two scripts, Lu Yanhe wrote the former smoothly and only needed to make adjustments according to their actual situations. The characters and plots actually had very clear original works, but for the latter... Lu Yanhe had to start his own original work. Originally, Lu Yanhe really I really want to give up the second season of "Squid Game". He is self-aware, but he is not A truly talented screenwriter is just a time traveler with a "golden finger". However, both Maxine and Northern Lights Video very strongly hope to develop the second season of "Squid Game". Lu Yanhe himself also wants to try, following the example of his predecessors. Basically, do you have the ability to stand on the shoulders of giants and write a sequel story?
……
While Lu Yanhe was busy with these things, Chen Ziyan finally received good news.
When filming "Tropical Rainforest" before, Lu Yanhe proposed to sign a contract with Huang Feng.
Huang Feng's mother, Huang Fenglian, expressed the hope that they could help arrange so that Huang Feng could return to China to study and receive education.
Chen Ziyan has been busy with this matter since then, studying policies, looking for people, looking for connections, and after running around, she finally helped Huang Feng contact an international school that could accept him.
After several rounds of communication, Huang Fenglian finally agreed to let Huang Feng sign a contract with Shihuo and become a foreign customer of Shihuo.
Huang Fenglian brought Huang Feng to Yuming, and Chen Ziyan arranged for people to be busy finding and renting a house for them, from handling various materials to preparing toiletries, etc.
There was no other way. Huang Feng's situation was special, so Chen Ziyan could only worry more.
Lu Qingzhen even said with a smile: "I signed a contract for a child, and you are so busy that you are almost going to be his mother."
Chen Ziyan said: "What can I do?"
"I really can't wait to watch the movie "Tropical Rain" to see how good this little boy's acting skills are. Is it worth your efforts to sign him?" Lu Qingzhen said with a smile.
"If you have nothing to do tonight, would you like to have dinner with us?" Chen Ziyan said, "Yan He invited the mother and son to dinner. From now on, Huang Feng will be an artist of our company. You should also get to know him."
Lu Qingzhen nodded and said yes.
-
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe's alarm clock rang, and he rolled his neck as if he had woken up from a dream.
He spent the afternoon sitting in front of his laptop typing.
Very painful.
As smooth as it was to write the second season of "Friends," it was as painful to write the second season of "Squidward."
He also made a decision. If he wants to open Goldfinger, he must open it all the way to the end. Like "Squid Game", which only has a beginning and no sequel for him to continue, he will not do it in the future.
Lu Yanhe got up and looked in the mirror, found himself a baseball cap and put on his sunglasses.
It was a hot day and he didn’t want to wear a mask.
Zou Dong was already waiting for him downstairs.
On the left side of the back seat is a gift that will be given to Huang Feng later.
Zou Dong bought this for him.
"Brother Dong, this shouldn't be a limited edition or something, right?" Lu Yanhe asked.
This is a schoolbag, which contains various stationery that Huang Feng will use later.
Because Zou Dong went to "Hundred Stars", the brand Lu Yanhe endorsed, Lu Yanhe asked one more question.
Zou Dong: "They wanted to give me a limited edition at first, but I replaced it. Didn't you say that? Just be normal and practical."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "Although he went to an international school, he is a contracted actor for Picking Up the Fire, and he also acted in a movie with me. With the speed of the domestic media digging up information, his classmates and parents at his school will know his origin, so , it’s better to keep a low profile.”
Zou Dong nodded.
Lu Yanhe asked: "Brother Dong, is Xiaoyu going to junior high school too?"
Zou Dong nodded and said: "I will be promoted to junior high school this year."
"Where?"
"Your alma mater, the junior high school of No. 13 Middle School." Zou Dong said with a smile.
"Oh——" Lu Yanhe immediately smiled, "My little brother."
Zou Dong said: "I'm lucky, it's three points higher than the admission score."
It seems that Zou Yu took the entrance exam for No. 13 Middle School.
If you can pass the recruitment examination and enter the 13th Middle School, your results will definitely be very good.
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "Should we celebrate this well?"
Zou Dong put a smile on his face and said: "I have discussed it with his mother and we will find a day to celebrate him together later."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "I'm in China and I don't need you to accompany me all the time. You don't have to worry about me. I can take a day or two off occasionally and we can coordinate."
Zou Dong nodded, but did not respond.
In this regard, he has always had high requirements for his professional ethics.
Even if Lu Yanhe said so, he would not ask for leave unless it was really necessary to ask for leave.
Especially when Lu Yanhe has work.
At this point, if Wang Biao loves this job very much, does it like a fish in water, and enjoys it, Zou Dong has dogmatic professional requirements for himself, and reaches the same goal through different paths, so that Lu Yanhe never has to face the two of them. Think about what the so-called "royal servant" should do.
On the contrary, precisely because they always stayed in their positions, performed their duties well, and never exceeded the rules, Lu Yanhe hoped that they could go further. It's like promoting Wang Biao from an assistant to being his executive agent.
-
The success in getting Huang Feng to study in China made Huang Fenglian feel a little more grateful to Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan said that Huang Fenglian is different from many Chinese immigrants who have immigrated for a long time. She probably lived in China as a child, so she has always had the idea of returning to China.
Just because of family, marriage, children, work, etc., this idea has never been possible.
After having children, her biggest bond in the local area became her children.
When you have children and want to move from one country to another, you have to face and deal with more problems.
Especially a single mother.
Although Lu Yanhe only had brief dealings with Huang Fenglian, he only spent less than two weeks with her and Huang Feng. But Lu Yanhe quite admired Huang Fenglian. She may not be as capable as Chen Ziyan or Xin Zixin, she is just an ordinary woman, but when faced with the fact that her son can become a movie star and directly earn a high signing bonus, she only grasps this Chance, made a request that in her eyes would be better for her son in the long run. The kind of person Lu Yanhe particularly admires is definitely not the kind of person who is particularly good in a certain aspect. Of course, he also admires such people. But it can be described as special, which goes beyond ordinary judgment and evaluation——
The kind of person who can attack decisively at critical moments, within the scope of his own knowledge, without flinching or hesitating, but without excessive demands.
This is someone Lu Yanhe particularly admires.
He also hopes that he can become such a person.
Everyone has a different starting point, different life experiences, and different stages.
Huang Fenglian gained the respect of Lu Yanhe through her choice of her son.
"You will officially enroll in school in September this year, right?"
After taking his seat, Lu Yanhe asked.
Huang Fenglian smiled and nodded.
Lu Yanhe looked at Huang Feng: "You are going to change schools soon, are you nervous?"
Huang Feng was a brat, calm and even looked at Lu Yanhe with a bit of contempt, and asked, "Why should I be nervous?"
Lu Yanhe: "..."
"Okay, then you are very brave, I admire you." Lu Yanhe gave Huang Feng a thumbs up.
Huang Feng's eyes are always full of intelligence and aura.
He asked: "Should I call you boss from now on?"
"Call uncle." Lu Yanhe corrected.
Huang Feng: "Are you married?"
"No, what?"
"Mom said, anyone who is not married should be called brother." Huang Feng emphasized.
"Then why did you never call me brother when you were filming on the set?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Huang Feng: "I obviously shouted many times."
"That was all when I was acting. When I wasn't acting, you always talked to me directly. You never called me brother." Lu Yanhe said.
When Huang Fenglian heard this, she looked at Huang Feng in surprise.
"Xiao Feng, why are you so rude?!" She seemed not to have noticed this before.
But that's normal. When Huang Fenglian was on the set, she wasn't always with Huang Feng.
In fact, when Huang Feng was on the set, Huang Fenglian was not there. She was responsible for the financial work on the set and had to deal with too many things every day. Basically, when Huang Feng arrived on the set, it became the responsibility of all the adults on the crew to help keep an eye on him.
Huang Feng's mouth dropped, "You're actually snitching at this time!"
Lu Yanhe: "I didn't snitch. I pointed out your impoliteness openly in front of you."
Huang Feng: "..."
His eyes showed something similar to "white eyes".
Lu Yanhe was overjoyed.
Chen Ziyan and Lu Qingzhen looked on with smiles on their lips.
Lu Yanhe said: "However, I brought you here. If anyone bullies you, you can tell me and I will protect you."
Huang Feng nodded and said, "Okay, then I will take care of you when you get old."
People are as big as little devils.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hide the smile in Lu Qingzhen's eyes.
She finally understood why Lu Yanhe was so aggressive in trying to sign Huang Feng in to make trouble.
There are so many child stars in the country, and Lu Qingzhen has seen quite a few. She is the first to be as cute and lovable as Huang Feng, who is "big as a kid".
Huang Fenglian called Mr. Lu Yanhe.
She asked: "Do you have any plans for Xiaofeng's future filming?"
"I will definitely focus on reading. If there is a suitable role, I can coordinate it to two days on the weekend to act. I can help him pick up one or two. I mainly have an idea for a movie, and he can star in it."
When Lu Yanhe said this, everyone at the table looked at him in surprise.
Lu Yanhe actually has another idea?
Of course, Huang Fenglian was pleasantly surprised.
"Starring?"
Movies like "Tropical Rainforest" starring a child like Huang Feng are rare.
There are talented actors who can certainly show amazing acting talent at a young age.
For example, Yuya Yanagaku in "Nobody Knows", Quvenzani in "Beasts of the Southern Wild", and Abigail in "Little Miss Sunshine".
But even if they win Best Actor and Best Actress, and attract attention for a while, the film industry does not have enough projects and scripts for them to continue on the path of child stars. Shirley Temple was the only child star who was truly so popular that the industry tailor-made her scripts.
Yuya Yanagi has been quiet for many years, and then slowly relied on a few Japanese dramas to make some progress in her career and return to the public eye.
Even though Quvenzani later starred in "Annie: New York" which did well at the box office, she still slowly disappeared.
Now Lu Yanhe actually said that he has an idea for a movie starring Huang Feng?
Even though Huang Fenglian is a Malaysian, she also knows how popular the movies written by Lu Yanhe are.
"Has the script been written?" Chen Ziyan asked in surprise.
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Not yet, but the story has been completely thought out. If the movie does well - I think it will be very good, and I hope to develop it into a series of movies."
"Can you tell us now the theme of this movie?" Lu Qingzhen asked, "I'm so curious now. Is this closer to the style of a literary film, or is it?"
"Comedy, commercial-oriented, but a very cute commercial comedy." Lu Yanhe looked at Huang Feng, smiled, and said, "The story of a child fighting wits with two stupid thieves to protect his home."
"Not a road comedy?" Lu Qingzhen said, "I thought that if you made comedy movies again, you would continue to make the style of "People on the Road".
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said: "It's a completely different style. This film is actually more suitable for watching during holidays and with the whole family."
Huang Fenglian was a little surprised and excited.
"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect that you...had already made plans for Xiaofeng." Huang Fenglian really didn't expect that if Lu Yanhe told her when he signed the contract with her, he had a movie series that he wanted to give to Huang Feng Starring Huang Fenglian actually wouldn't hesitate for that long.
It was because she followed Huang Tianlin that she knew about the entertainment industry. After many people signed a contract with the company, they were given more attention by the company and paid less attention to. Therefore, she was not so eager to agree to Lu Yanhe driven by the "star dream", but instead proposed that she would like to Huang Feng’s request to return to China for school.
If Huang Feng can really star in a movie written by Lu Yanhe, Huang Fenglian will not worry about these things.
She is not stupid and knows how big the gap is between the movie written by Lu Yanhe and "Tropical Rainforest" directed by her brother.
The latter may only allow Huang Feng to have an acting experience, but the former can really help Huang Feng embark on the path of an actor and be seen by the film industry.
Lu Yanhe smiled and waved his hands and looked at Huang Feng.
"But if you come to star in my movie, I have requirements for you." Lu Yanhe said.
Huang Feng frowned and asked: "What do you want to do?"
He wasn't excited at all compared to how fucking excited he was.
He knows a little bit about being a star, even if he doesn't understand it. But even if he does, he only understands a little bit and has no practical concept.
Lu Yanhe said: "I hope that no matter how popular you are in the future, you will not break the law or abandon school, or decide to be an actor or a star early, and then think that you can just mess around with the college entrance examination and go to an art school." Enough.”
He added: "I know you can't understand now, but I hope you will commit."
Huang Feng asked: "You mean, I want to go to a good university in the future?"
Lu Yanhe: "I don't know if the university is good or not. Who knows whether you can study or not. If you try very hard but can't get good grades, then try your best. But I hope you won't waste your time just because you become famous and rich early." Your studies will waste your life.”
Huang Feng was angry: "Who are you looking down on? I will definitely be admitted to a good university."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
He turned to look at Huang Fenglian.
"I hope you can sign the contract between Huang Feng and Shi Huo until he reaches adulthood." Lu Yanhe said bluntly, "At least before that, I will ask the company to keep an eye on the people and things around him to prevent him from being led astray. Don’t let him be tempted and study hard.”
Huang Fenglian's eyes turned slightly red at this moment.
She really didn't expect that Lu Yanhe would say this or care about this.
"Of course, of course, thank you." Huang Fenglian said, "Thank you very much."
"As long as you agree." Lu Yanhe smiled gently, "I hope you don't think I control too much. Maybe you don't understand, but I decided to bring him to China and let him become an actor at such a young age. In fact, I have already I am afraid that I have led his life away from his original path, and I cannot accept this.”
Huang Fenglian nodded.
"Mr. Lu, when you tell me this, the big stone in my heart has finally fallen into place. I have been hesitant and did not agree to sign the contract because I was afraid that he would meet a bad company, that he would be forced to make money, and that he was so old. When he was young, he had to work hard to make money. He was afraid that if he could not study well, if he could not continue to be an actor, he would not have the ability or skills to find a good job in the future. ”
Huang Fenglian said, tears welling up in her eyes.
She sobbed and turned around to wipe her eyes with the back of her hand.
Huang Feng looked at his mother with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand.
Chen Ziyan handed Huang Fenglian a tissue and patted her shoulder gently.
"Sister Lian, let's work together to teach Huang Feng well."
Huang Fenglian smiled excitedly and responded.
After dinner, Lu Qingzhen drove Huang Feng and Huang Fenglian away.
Chen Ziyan got into Lu Yanhe's car.
She asked: "Yan He, what is the name of the movie you planned for Huang Feng?"
Lu Yanhe's eyes curled up into a smile and he said: "'Home Alone'."
-
This movie should be a fond memory for many children in their childhood.
Chen Ziyan asked: "Are you going to shoot it yourself? Linghe is a sole proprietor? Or do you need larger investment and cooperate with outside companies?"
"We can be sole proprietors." Lu Yanhe said, "The production cost of this movie can be very low."
A play in which basically all the play takes place in a house.
Huang Feng is the absolute protagonist, but his salary will not be high - it can be increased in the sequel, but it will definitely not be as high as the first one.
The two stupid thieves need special actors to play them more effectively, so they can't find well-known actors.
The only place where well-known actors are needed is for the parents in the movie - especially the role of the mother.
But that role doesn't have much role.
Especially for this movie, it was not difficult to direct. He had a clear storyboard in his mind.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe feels that this movie does not require much production cost at all.
Perhaps the most expensive cost is his screenwriter's salary, followed by the mechanism design and prop production.
Chen Ziyan nodded when she heard this.
"Okay, then I won't get involved." She said, "Are you going to be the director yourself?"
"No, the production of this movie is not difficult, and the director's artistic requirements are not high." Lu Yanhe said, "It is a more creative popcorn comedy movie from a children's perspective. I want to find a suitable one from outside." Director.”
"Okay." After Chen Ziyan nodded, she couldn't help but smiled and shook her head.
"You suddenly came up with another movie series, Yan He, I'm serious, I suddenly had a self-questioning feeling about whether my ability can't keep up with your talent." Chen Ziyan said, "After so many years, let me You are the only one who made me think this way.”
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"I'll just take this as your affirmation of me, Sister Ziyan." After Lu Yanhe finished speaking, the smile on his face faded again, "It's just that, Sister Ziyan, I'm really afraid that this will ruin Huang Feng. Life.”
The child actor in "Home Alone" turned out to be like that when he himself committed suicide, which made Lu Yanhe afraid that the tragedy would happen again.
At such a young age, he became famous all over the country, and all the fame and fortune came to him. Can he bear it?
How to balance this sudden situation?
An adult in his thirties or forties may not be able to face the inflated mentality brought about by overnight fame, let alone a child and his amateur parents.
Lu Yanhe said: "If this movie can achieve the desired effect in my heart, Huang Feng will become the most popular child star in the country, and all kinds of temptations will come one after another. Not to mention the child Huang Feng, even his mother, Sister Fenglian, is not a For someone like you who has experienced a lot and has developed a strong heart, can she face everything that may happen in the future? ”
Chen Ziyan said: "You haven't even gone out yet, and you are worried about raining. I know what you are worried about and what you care about. Don't worry, I will arrange a reliable agent for him to take care of him, and I will also let the company pay attention to it at all times." As for his mother - I hope she still Being able to have a job allows her to have a way to get in touch with this society. As you said, she has seen the dangers and cruelty behind the fame and fortune in this industry, and she can be more alert when facing those things. .”
"Then what do you think is appropriate for her?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"She used to work in finance." Chen Ziyan said, "Her son is picking up fires, so she is not suitable to stay there. What do you think of her going to Linghe? Don't let her join the group, just stay in Linghe He is doing related financial work. Linghe is a film and television production company, and she is also working in this industry, and she can gradually understand this industry.”
Lu Yanhe thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Let me tell Chen Yin."
"Yeah, but remember not to assign her to a key position with heavy tasks." Chen Ziyan said, "First, we are not familiar with her yet, so don't let Chen Yin misunderstand that she was assigned because of some relationship with you. Second, we are not familiar with her yet. She must focus on taking care of Huang Feng, and the company's work can only be secondary."

Ten thousand words were updated, and the additional update task was exceeded.
You can praise me. I am very satisfied with today’s chapter, but I don’t know if everyone else is satisfied or not.
I recommend the old book "I Became a Scandalous Heroine Overnight".
(At four o'clock in the afternoon, I recommended "Monster Sword" during the extra update event. This little shabby book that only updates a thousand words every day has added 15 collections. I am happy to have 15 new collections because this book is the first. I didn’t pass the test, and the update was too much, and I understand. I just feel itchy, and I want to change my mind and practice my writing. I hope someone will read it and give me feedback.) (End of this chapter)
