On July 6, there was a special advance screening of "Fake Death", and both Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang attended.
In order to avoid overshadowing the audience, Lu Yanhe waited until the screening started before sneaking into the theater in the dark.
The response to the movie at the scene was still very good.
There was a lot of laughter in the middle.
Lu Yanhe had already read it once, and after watching it a second time, he discovered some details that he had not noticed before.
Liu Bige is still Liu Bige, and there are many detailed Easter eggs buried in it. After Longyan Pictures insisted on making this film a commercial film, Liu Bige also always made a lot of small designs in the film.
Including Lu Yanhe, when I watched it this time, I saw that the color of Li Zhibai and Ji Miao's clothes in every scene was actually very consistent with the tone of the scene, not to mention some of the props that appeared in the movie. Full of metaphors.
The last time Lu Yanhe looked at it, he didn't think about these aspects at all.
He suddenly felt that although this movie may not necessarily become the darling of awards, it might become a classic in the hearts of many movie fans.
There are some moviegoers who love digging out details from movies and looking for Easter eggs over and over again.
After the screening, there was thunderous applause.
At this time, the people sitting next to Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang realized that Lu Yanhe had come over at some point.
Liu Bige took Li Zhibai, Ji Miao and several other actors on stage.
Mrs. Huang also came on stage.
She can be said to be the one who has made the most public appearances among domestic film company owners.
Of course, she is also very popular. As an actress, she is very good at dealing with everyone in front of the stage.
The people attending the screening today were basically people invited by Long Yan or the main creative staff.
On this occasion, unlike media screenings where the situation is unpredictable, the reaction is basically enthusiastic and supportive.
A 60% movie can get 80% applause, and an 80% movie can give people the illusion of being a classic in film history.
However, whether everyone really likes this movie and thinks it is a good movie can still give a glimpse of the reality.
At least Lu Yanhe felt that he didn't lose interest after watching this movie for the second time because he already knew how the plot would develop.
The things in the movie are rich and detailed enough, and worth watching.
However, there was nothing interesting in the speeches made by everyone at the scene. They were basically just praises and compliments.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang also stood up when their names were called and talked about their feelings about watching the movie.
The real highlight is the reception after the screening.
This is the place where you can hear some real feedback.
Lu Yanhe heard two people standing together and communicating, and one of them said: "If this movie was not directed by Liu Bige, maybe it would have a good reputation."
"Yes, in fact, it can be seen from "Late Spring" that Liu Bige is a master storyteller, but the stylized things in "Late Spring" are too obvious and overshadow the fact that his story itself is beautiful. This In "Fake Death", he didn't play that kind of stylized thing again. It looked good, but it was more or less disappointing and we didn't see what we wanted to see."
This feeling is probably similar to when you go to a concert of a singer. This singer is your favorite singer since you were a child. You can sing many popular hits. But when you get to the concert, you are surprised to find that this singer sang all the songs all night. Although you can still sing a song that you are not familiar with, you always feel that something is missing.
As a director or a creator, you only have unlimited power when you meet everyone for the first time, because from the second time on, you have to face a cruel fact - everyone will look at it through colored glasses. You, and you put the colored glasses on them yourself.
Lu Yanhe felt that what they said was very pertinent.
At this time, Chen Miao, the main writer of "Menghui", came to Lu Yanhe.
She is a media person who has been paying attention to Lu Yanhe not long after he started acting and has made several statements supporting his work.
Because of "Jump Up", Chen Miao later accepted several invitations to write commentaries on the ownership of some influential awards.
Lu Yanhe was relatively familiar with her.
"Yan He, do you think this movie is more popular in Spain or in China?" Chen Miao asked.
Lu Yanhe asked: "Will my answer be used in your article?"
Chen Miao smiled and said: "If I adopt it, I will ask for your consent in advance. I just want to hear more opinions from everyone. I am a little conflicted in my heart and have not thought about how to write my article. ?”
"To be honest, I think it will be more popular in China." Lu Yanhe said bluntly, "Maybe some people who expect Director Liu to make a second work like "Late Spring" will be a little disappointed, but for the audience, this film The movie is undoubtedly beautiful and interesting.”
Chen Miao nodded and asked: "What about you? What do you think of this movie?"
"To be honest, I like it very much." Lu Yanhe said, "But it is true that I have emotional factors in it, and I can't judge objectively. I know very well why every shot in it is shot like that, why it is acted like that, in this In movies, I can’t distinguish between my rationality and my sensibility.”
Chen Miao: "Well, indeed, I shouldn't ask you this question. What I'm conflicted about is that I'm worried that if I give this movie a positive feedback, or if this movie ends up being received well by critics, The feedback received is all positive. Longyan Pictures will regard Liu Bige as a commercial film director in the future and will no longer support him in making movies like "Late Spring""
When Lu Yanhe heard this, he looked at Chen Miao in surprise.
Chen Miao said: "In fact, many people have known about the internal conflict between him and Long Yan for a long time. It is not a secret."
After making sure that Chen Miao was not trying to trick him, Lu Yanhe nodded noncommittally, "Are you trying to save a big manuscript?"
Chen Miao: "It's pointless to write a rough draft. Long Yan's media relations have always been very good. At that time, many people may praise Liu Bige's successful transformation of the film and other nonsense. I don't want to join in such nonsense. In particular, I still hope that Liu Bige can do more Make a movie like "Late Spring". There is no shortage of movies like "Fake Death" in China, but there is a huge lack of movies like "Late Spring". If Director Liu wants to make such a work, then forget it, but that's okay. No. ”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He really did not expect that some media people would consider these issues and write their own comment articles.
However, Chen Miao, Guan Suchen and other commentators have been able to write for such a long time and have such influence because they are different from other media people and always think about problems in a targeted manner. , published articles.
Business is always looking for ways to make money, trying to come up with a formula that can be replicated.
But content creators, if they want to stand out, must go against the rules and have their own uniqueness.
Chen Miao smiled and asked again: "The following question is what I want to quote in my article."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"You asked."
"What is the real reason why you decided to participate in "Hurricane 2"? I know you can't tell me the details, but I want to know from what dimensions you considered it." Chen Miao said, "Your choice will have an impact on me." It has guiding significance for the entire industry, especially actors.”
Lu Yanhe waved his hand, "Don't wear a high hat on me. What I'm most afraid of now is the high hat."
Chen Miao laughed, nodded and said, "Okay."
"Besides, it's not convenient for me to answer this question. Everything I tell you can definitely be said." Lu Yanhe smiled, "You know very well that as actors, when we choose a movie, sometimes it's just a thought. Sometimes it is a combination of many factors, and everything is the right time, place and people.”
Chen Miao: "That's enough. Your attitude itself is a guide."
"Huh?"
"You never shy away from your utilitarianism." Chen Miao sighed, "Did you know? Sometimes, I see many actors making choices. They are too short-sighted and too stupid to be utilitarian. They only look at the land in front of them. It makes me feel very sad. And, as a fan of Chen Bige, I have to thank you.”
"Thank me?"
"Thank you for making her more productive again." Chen Miao said, "Her recent films have all been co-produced with you. When she took over the filming of "Seventeenth Floor", I really thought she was in the film industry. She can't get the right projects, and you know, especially a top actress like her, who doesn't usually do side projects for movies with male protagonists. Female protagonists, but there are really not many movie projects with female protagonists, and there are even fewer good ones, and they are basically aimed at the age group of 20 to 30 years old. Fortunately, you made it again with "Rouge Button". Her film career has been revived, and "Love Letters" and "Raise the Red Lantern" are the books you gave her."
Before Chen Miao said this, Lu Yanhe didn't even react. It was true!
Chen Bige has already acted in so many of his scripts!
There is even a "Dragon Inn" that has not been officially announced!
Lu Yanhe: "Who wouldn't want to cooperate with an actress like Sister Bi Ge? We just don't have good roles. It just so happens that I can write good roles and good scripts, but without her to act, my scripts may not be available so quickly. Recognition from others.”
Chen Miao: "Let's make each other successful. The film industry has always been an industry that makes each other successful."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Miao suddenly said: "However, Li Zhibai's performance in "Fake Death" was so refreshing. When I watched his drama before, I thought he could act, not that kind of routine. His acting skills are not just self-motivating, but those dramas are not. He gave me a strong feeling in this movie. His sense of relaxation would be particularly easy for someone else to act in an exaggerated way. He really has a natural ability to make exaggeration just right in him. Artistic expression without feeling greasy.”
"Li Zhibai will be very happy if he hears your praise for him." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
"In this regard, I feel that he is invincible now. Domestic male actors, especially young male actors, including you, let me tell you the truth, there are still a few of you who play complex, crazy, and difficult roles. , you are the master among them, the more difficult it is to perform and complex roles, the better you can complete them. However, for simple, relaxed, comic, and even comically exaggerated roles like those in "Fake Death", it is almost impossible to find a second one. Come on. You have never acted before."
Lu Yanhe gave her a thumbs up.
"You are indeed professional enough. Heroes see the same thing." Lu Yanhe said, "I have the same opinion as you. It is complicated and easy to act, but it is simple but difficult. Li Zhibai is unparalleled in this track. He is better than anyone else." Not as good as his sense of relaxation." Chen Miao shook her head: "It's not just a matter of relaxation. I don't know if it's his talent or something. I have to study it carefully."
"Then do you think he has hope of winning the award?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Miao shook her head.
"This type of role is not one that is favored by awards. Unless the drama "Fake Death" is too good, otherwise he will be highly recognized by the industry but not be able to win the award." Chen Miao said, "The aesthetics of award judges is still that of complex roles with huge performance space, like "Path of Glory", which is a typical favorite theme of mainstream awards."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"I heard that "Friends" is expected to compete for the three awards this year?" Chen Miao asked, "We have heard rumors that excellent sitcoms should be encouraged to enter the scope of mainstream awards."
Lu Yanhe: "I don't know, I hope it can, but I also know that it is not easy to change some stubborn prejudices, and it is difficult to completely change them overnight."
Chen Miao: "The nomination list for the Golden Tripod Awards will be announced in about two or three weeks. Several of our media friends have discussed this issue before. In the past few days, we will use our channels to speak out and appeal for this matter. .”
"Thank you."
"Although we are only in the media industry, we all hope that this big industry of entertainment will get better and better." Chen Miao said, "Only when we really go global can we know how weak our entertainment industry in China is. Although I You are a media person, but others don’t care what articles you have written or how many achievements you have made. When others hear that you are from China, their reaction is not very favorable. It has improved a little in recent years. Some, because some of our Chinese film and television dramas have come out and been seen by them. You know, as a Chinese media person, when I interview foreign directors and actors, I often ask them a question: Do they have any favorites about China? When asked about film and television works, we often refer to works from more than ten or twenty years ago, and we almost never hear about works from the past ten years. It was not until the past few years that the situation changed. "

Lu Yanhe said: "However, there are still too few Chinese-language films in the world now. There are only one or two films. In fact, there are so many of us in China, and if only a few of them are active internationally, it will be nothing more than the world. It’s just an embellishment of the movie. I hope it’s better and has more weight.”
Chen Miao nodded, "Let's work hard together. Although my strength is very meager, I will do what I can do."
"Your strength is never meager." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "My agent often says that at least half of my achievements today are due to the support of your media and film critics. Otherwise, a newcomer will not be able to achieve what he has achieved today." Young people, why did you get pushed to your current position so quickly by overtaking those already successful celebrities?”
Chen Miao: "Come on."

According to the agreement signed by Chen Miao and Longyan Pictures, Chen Miao's article cannot be published publicly before it is officially released.
The agreement between Long Yan and her was not a formal agreement with the media, it was a single signature, just because Chen Miao did not promise to give "100% praise."
But this is also a good thing. For Chen Miao, she has enough time to write this article.
Before that, as Chen Miao said to Lu Yanhe before, she and several media friends, including Guan Suchen and Sanyang, had agreed to speak out together and call for "Friends" to enter the mainstream awards field. It can no longer be ignored.
In fact, their social media followers are not that many. Guan Suchen, who has the most, only has seven figures. On the Chinese Internet, he is just a big V. He is not the kind of person who can spark huge discussions and attention with just a few words. Opinion leaders.
However, several of them published articles one after another to talk about the significance of "Friends" to Chinese TV dramas and its achievements, pointing out that the "Party of Six" series was ignored by the three domestic TV drama awards in the past.
After several seasons of accumulation, especially the reputation improvement of "Friends", it can be said to be one of the most popular TV series in the past decade. This one is the one at the top of the pyramid.
Therefore, as soon as these articles were published, they immediately aroused great attention.
Chen Miao wrote directly in her article: The nomination list for the Golden Tripod Award will be announced soon. I hope this year’s primary judges can seriously think about what kind of TV series should really be commended.

Huang Lian was so angry that he almost fainted.
He didn't think that Chen Miao and the others suddenly published such an article at this time, it was their own initiative.
There must be someone behind it.
"Look, if Lu Yanhe wasn't instigating these people to charge him behind the scenes, would any of you believe it?"
At the meeting of the Golden Cauldron Award Executive Committee, Huang Lian was very angry and had an expression like "Don't you share the same hatred with me about this kind of thing?"
At the executive committee meeting, Huang Lian’s people immediately followed and echoed: "This behavior is too excessive. There is simply no bottom line. This is using public opinion to coerce us. We must let "Friends" win the award. How can we do this? ”
Huang Lian said: "This kind of people are simply ignoring the rules. We must resolutely oppose this behavior!"
"That's right!"
"Chairman Huang, you said these articles were written by Lu Yanhe behind his back. Do any of you have any evidence?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked over in surprise.
The person who spoke was Gu Mo, who had just joined the executive committee two days ago.
Huang Lian looked over with an unkind look.
"This is a sure thing, do you think there are other possibilities?"
"Is it possible that these people really think that we shouldn't ignore "Friends"?" Gu Mo asked back.
For a moment, the conference room was so quiet that you could hear the breathing of everyone around you.
Huang Lian: "Gu Mo, you used to be Director Luo's student. I understand that you are speaking for Lu Yanhe, but at this time, shouldn't you avoid any suspicion?"
Gu Mo: "Chairman Huang, does this have nothing to do with whether I am Director Luo's student? Let's just discuss the matter. There is no evidence, but we have to conclude it. If this matter spreads, wouldn't it be a scandal?"
"Could it be that what was said in this room was spread out?" Huang Lian asked.
"It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before. It seems to have happened before I came here, right?" Gu Mo said with an expression of sudden realization, "Oh, I remembered, wasn't it because the previous chairman, Ms. Liu Yun, was at the meeting? Was he asked to abdicate after he said a few words that were not quite correct and were posted online, causing a huge public outcry? ”
The people around him all held their breath, pretending to be dead, and said nothing.
The anger in Huang Lian's eyes seemed to solidify and burst out.
Gu Mo continued: "Whether the show "Friends" should be shortlisted for the Golden Tripod Award is itself a comprehensive guiding question. Whether it is shortlisted or not, it attracts great attention. At least we must do it internally. With a clear conscience, if we all believe that Lu Yanhe is manipulating public opinion and trying to influence the selection just because of a few articles, who would think that this approach is right and objective? "
No one spoke.
Huang Lian: "Then according to your statement, we will ignore these articles?"
"It's reasonable. If we all think that their articles interfere with the normal selection, then we should condemn such behavior in the official name." Gu Mo said, "The key to this matter is that such behavior is really Will these articles interfere with the selection of awards? The article has indeed stirred up a lot of public opinion, and has caused many people to discuss what kind of selection guide our Golden Tripod Awards should have, but has it really affected the selection of the primary judges in an improper way? This should be Do you need some proof? ”
Huang Lian sneered.
But, he just sneered.
Gu Mo opened his mouth like a machine gun, smashing this originally unreasonable statement into a sieve.
In the end, no one said what action they would take because of this incident.
After the meeting, Huang Lian lost his temper in his office angrily.
"Who is he?! How dare he say that to me at the meeting?" Huang Lian yelled at several members of his side, "I don't want him to appear among us next time the election changes! ”
"He is here alone, not a relative or a friend, and he dares to say anything. But he alone can't affect the overall situation. The list of judges for the primary election this time is determined by us, don't worry." Another person said to Huang Lian , "They will definitely select a list that satisfies us."
Huang Lian immediately asked: "Since he alone can't affect the overall situation, why didn't any of you speak up when he spoke at the meeting just now?"
Everyone else fell silent.
Huang Lian also knew what they were thinking.
Behind Gu Mo is Luo Yuzhong. Of course, a Gu Mo is nothing, but who wants to be the one to offend Luo Yuzhong?
Although Luo Yuzhong does not hold a position in any awards or associations, he is the top director in the TV drama directing circle, with connections, connections, resources, and background.
Huang Lian can ignore Luo Yuzhong, but they can't.
Gu Mo dared to fire so fiercely, Luo Yuzhong must have been instructed behind it.
-
"This old guy Huang Lian has no shame!"
Gu Mo was stunned and his heart sank.
He had rarely seen his teacher so angry.
As a big shot in the industry, Luo Yuzhong rarely gets so angry because of some problems encountered during filming, except on the set.
After all, most of the time, his industry status is here, and people around him respect him.
Gu Mo said: "Teacher, although I stopped him this time, the primary judges are basically the people they selected. I'm worried that this matter will still happen..."
"If this is really the case, there is no way we can interfere with the judges." Luo Yuzhong said, "But if they really dare to turn a blind eye to "Friends" and continue to exclude it from the nomination list, not only It’s up to the General Administration to explain the pressure from public opinion.”
Gu Mo said: "Huang Lian doesn't seem to be worried about getting into trouble with the General Administration."
"He thinks he has someone who can support him and protect him." Luo Yuzhong sneered.
Hearing this, Gu Mo was a little surprised, "Teacher, what do you mean..."
"Don't interfere with the judges' matters, and you don't need to take any action." Luo Yuzhong warned.
