"It is always better to find out something by yourself than to be found out by others."
This sentence was said by Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan is very satisfied with the crew's response speed this time.
Some things may seem like an insignificant thing to you, but it can also be like a butterfly flapping its wings, and eventually turn into a tornado on the other side of the ocean.
When it comes to matters involving Lu Yanhe, Chen Ziyan always adheres to the principle of "nothing is trivial".
After knowing that Lu Yanhe was touched by this incident, Chen Ziyan just laughed.
"Reflection is a good thing, but I'm not surprised that you did that before." Chen Ziyan said, "That was your first time as a director, and you felt guilty. Your whole state was that as long as the film could be filmed, , many things, one thing is worse than one thing less. If you really don’t mind, I don’t believe it.”
Lu Yanhe: "Actually, apart from this reason, I had another idea at the time."
"What do you think?"
"I feel that people are saying it behind my back, but I just heard it. Who wouldn't say a few bad words behind other people's back? And, most importantly, I understand their resentment. I work hard every day, but I can only earn a small salary, but I enjoy the best treatment in the crew, and my income is many times higher than theirs.”
"You just feel a little guilty. I've discovered it a long time ago. You always feel that you deserve everything you get." Chen Ziyan said, "Of course, you are indeed in an industry that enjoys social dividends, but This is not something you steal or rob, this is The industry exists here. If you don't make this money, others will. Those industries and positions with low incomes are not low-income because of the existence of this industry and you. You must change your mentality. ”
Chen Ziyan’s words are always to the point.
She knew very well the crux behind Lu Yanhe's various thoughts.
"At first, I thought you were a bit of a saint and too tolerant of others. But later I realized that it was not the case. You said that you were at peace with everything you did. You felt at ease with yourself. No matter how cruel your behavior seemed to others, you did not You can do things that you are not so comfortable with, even if everyone calls you a holy mother, You are also struggling." Chen Ziyan said, "You are a person who thinks a lot, which is a good thing. Of course, in fact, it is difficult for us to understand and empathize with your situation and situation, but this time you can reflect on it. Looking at your previous behavior, I am a little worried.”
"What are you worried about? I thought you were going to praise me for my progress and realize that my previous behavior was actually wrong. I shouldn't let go of those who slandered me behind my back." Lu Yanhe said.
"But your reflection itself makes me worried." Chen Ziyan said, "I would rather you be a person with a less high moral sense, or you could be a true saint who defends your moral sense from beginning to end. Okay, I will protect you, but what people fear most is that No end, no contact on both sides, frequent internal friction. Do you still remember that your mental state was too tense before, causing your facial expression to lose control? That incident made me realize that your My mental endurance is actually not very high.”
Lu Yanhe wanted to defend himself.
He wanted to say that he hadn't had this problem for a long time.
Chen Ziyan: "It's been so long, and you can still be hit by a boomerang, which means you didn't really let go of the matter and didn't care about it at that time."
Lu Yanhe: "When you say that, why do I feel that my mental problem is a bit serious?"
"Then you are taking things too seriously. At least on this issue, in the final analysis, you actually feel guilty for getting so many things now." Chen Ziyan said, "So, you can't feel at ease."< br>
Lu Yanhe felt like he had been hit hard.
So accurate.
Chen Ziyan said: "It's okay. I'm just telling you where your crux is. As for whether you can change it or not, I said you may not be able to change it now. You need to adapt to it slowly. You are still getting rich quickly. Too fast and unreliable. Look at those rich second-generation people who were born with golden keys in their hands. Do any of them feel uneasy or confused because of their good background? I believe you understand the truth. You just need time to adjust. .”
Chen Ziyan suddenly asked again: "Do you sometimes feel that your personality is quite annoying?"
Lu Yanhe hummed, "How do you know?"
"Because this is not unusual." Chen Ziyan said, "How can you be a top actor without internal conflict, dilemma, and emotional relapse? I tell you so much. First, I hope to tell you that your situation is nothing. , it’s not a problem. Secondly, I hope I can let you know that you don’t actually need to change these things. You can accept it yourself. You are a contradictory person, a repetitive person, a person who wants everything. If one day, you become a set of principles, combine knowledge and action, and become a saint, or simply abandon those moral principles and become happy. You may become a more popular star, but you may not be a top creator.”
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
She didn't expect that Chen Ziyan would end up here at this moment.
"Internal friction is nothing, but you should talk to the people around you more and don't keep it in your heart." Chen Ziyan said, "As long as you don't keep it in your heart, internal friction should be internal."
"Sister Ziyan, I thought you would persuade me not to have internal friction."
"Is this what I advise you not to do internally, so you can do it?" Chen Ziyan said, "I know you can't do something, so what should I advise you to do?"
Lu Yanhe felt a little embarrassed when he heard Chen Ziyan say this.
He actually knows his own problem.
-
"I think the luckiest thing for you as an artist is to meet an agent like Ziyan who understands you. When you are so popular and can write scripts, making money has never been the first priority for working with you. One goal.”
After Chen Siqi listened to Lu Yanhe's comments on his recent "philosophy of life" on the phone, he accurately summarized the most practical parts of these comments that needed to be refined.
"Sometimes, like her, I worry that like many outstanding artists, you will become more detached from the world and fall into your own mental state as you get further behind." Chen Siqi said bluntly, "Although everything seems normal to you now .”
Lu Yanhe couldn't believe it.
"Isn't it?"
Lu Yanhe never thought that he was a potential "mental patient" in the hearts of Chen Ziyan and Chen Siqi?
Chen Siqi: "Think about it, Yan He, how much have you done in the past few years? You have acted, written songs, and written scripts. What you have produced in the past five years may be more than what five people have produced in a lifetime." More. We all know that when creators are at their peak, they don’t There are ways to treat it like ordinary people, but we must also pay attention to your mental state. Sister Ziyan has been working hard to let you be more in a state other than creation. I am the same. We are all afraid that you will be immersed in it. In the end, I became more and more unable to extricate myself.”
Lu Yanhe was really dumbfounded.
He knows that sometimes he will devote himself 100% to the creation of a work because of time constraints or when the feeling comes. For example, I wrote "Longmen Inn" that night.
However, he is not a normal creator. Those stories are not his works, he just transported them.
However, he couldn't explain this to others.
In the eyes of others, he is a genius.
A perpetual motion machine that keeps churning out great scripts.
And this, in the eyes of those who care about him, becomes a hidden danger that cannot help but worry about him.
Lu Yanhe said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't come to that point."
-
There are drama addicts in acting, and there are even actors who can't get out of a role half a year after finishing it.
Lu Yanhe is not this type of actor.
He does sometimes fall into a certain role, but usually two or three days after the filming is completed, it will be fine, and it can only be a week at most.
The same goes for creation.
Lu Yanhe did not dare to say that he had never experienced the feeling of being in a deserted place. It was true that he had, but he often only tasted it.
He himself will realize that he cannot stay in that state for long.
Lu Yanhe didn't think he would really have problems in this area because he knew that he was actually not that "genius". He was just an ordinary person with ordinary problems. It is said that because he can create different types of stories and different characters, he has the possibility of being sophisticated...
Even if everyone thought so, he knew very well that it was not the case.
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that a small matter that was just a discussion about whether he had too high demands on himself and was a bit internal would eventually make him suddenly realize that the people around him still had such hidden concerns about him.
-
The day "Legend of Sword and Fairy" finished filming.
Luo Yuzhong patted him on the shoulder and said: "You did a good job this time. Compared with the time in "The Golden Age", it's much better. You are already a mature actor."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"Thank you, teacher."
This time filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", overall, there was no challenge for him. He prepared in a down-to-earth manner and acted conscientiously. In addition, the crew was very good in all aspects. Luo Yuzhong and he were very satisfied with the overall effect.
Of course Lu Yanhe no longer needs to rely on this drama to fuel his career.
However, Lu Yanhe is still very satisfied with being able to complete a role well.
This sense of accomplishment in completing a role is a feeling that truly belongs to him and is unique to him.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both have to continue filming in the crew.
Yan Liang won't finish filming until mid-to-late November, while Li Zhibai's filming will be completed later, until December.
Filming a TV series, especially a long-running TV series like this, is very time-consuming.
After Lu Yanhe finished filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he took two days off and went back to participate in the recording of the last stage of the season of "Young Days".
He could still catch up, but Li Zhibai and Yan Liang couldn't.
Originally, Lu Yanhe wanted to say that he might as well not participate in this season.
But Li Zhenzhen contacted him many times and kept telling him that if he could return in the last few episodes, it would definitely be a surprise for fans of this show.
Furthermore, Lu Yanhe hadn't met Liu Zhiyin and the others for a long time.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe finally decided to go.
By the way, I talked about the collaboration between Qin Zhibai and Song Linxin on two OSTs.
-
Just look at Qin Zhibai and Song Linxin to see how declining the music industry is now.
The two of them already belong to the younger generation of musicians, and their image, fame and talent are among the best.
However, because the influence of the overall industry is decreasing, the status of the two of them in the circle has always remained in a tepid position.
It has been several years since they debuted, but everyone still has the impression of them as a newly debuted singer. Of course, there are deeper reasons involved.
Qin Zhibai is relatively better.
He is a second-generation rich man and came to the entertainment industry to be a singer. The main reason is that he loves singing and music.
But Song Linxin's family is not like Qin Zhibai, who has money and background.
She really wants to make a living from this job.
Of course, she can't say that she can't make a living now.
However, Song Linxin has often felt powerless in the past two years. I don’t know how to improve my sense of powerlessness. She has one or two new songs that are popular every year, and her statistics are very good in all aspects. However, this does not help. No one denies that she is a popular singer, and she is invited to various events and commercial performances.
But what then?
If an actor wants to be a movie king or a movie queen, what is the dream of a singer?
Twenty years ago, or even ten years ago, everyone wanted to be the king or queen of heaven.
At that time, there was someone on the throne and a clear path. Singers who are not popular enough or whose status is not high enough can catch up and surpass them if they have goals.
However, now, the so-called kings and queens are already products of that era.
There are no kings or queens anymore.
Not only is this gone, the music industry doesn’t even have a professional and influential award.
There are three awards for TV series and movies, but for pop music... I'm sorry, those awards have been abandoned in some nook and cranny, and they are probably all moldy.
Song Linxin would be at a loss from time to time.
I don’t know what I’m fighting for.
Compared with Qin Zhibai, if the commonality between her and Qin Zhibai is that they both have excellent musical talents and love music, then the biggest difference between the two of them is that Qin Zhibai only loves music, and whether music can bring him He doesn't care so much about worldly rewards, such as industry status and generous income, and he doesn't rely on them. But Song Linxin cared.
So, is she short of money now? There is no shortage, there is less than what is above, and there is more than what is below. Does she lack fame now? There is no shortage of them. Among the younger generation of singers, she is doing very well. However, she lacked a career goal and a goal to continue moving forward.
The road ahead is unclear and there is no benchmark.
Of course, she couldn't tell her agent Zhou Meng about these things.
In Zhou Meng's view, all kings and queens are imaginary, popular singers are real, and sincerity is real.
Maybe if Song Linxin continues to be popular like this, he won't be able to become a legend in the past era, but so what? Being a popular A-list star, earning eight figures every year, and giving her generous dividends, what more could she want?
Song Linxin could only talk to her friends about her troubles in private.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Yanhe came to invite her to sing.
Song Linxin sighed and said: "I really don't know if I can write it."
"What's wrong?" Lu Yanhe also saw the melancholy and trouble on Song Linxin's face.
Song Linxin: "I'm too lazy to tell you, and you won't understand even if I tell you."
"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?"
Song Linxin and Lu Yanhe stared at each other with big eyes.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Okay, okay." Song Linxin told Lu Yanhe anyway.
Lu Yanhe: "Well, your problem is a bit big."
Song Linxin rolled her eyes at Lu Yanhe, "I told you a long time ago, but you don't understand even if I tell you."
"Who said I don't understand? I just said the problem is big, not that I don't understand."
Song Linxin: "..."
Lu Yanhe: "Although I, like you, have always felt that the music industry is a bit unclear on how to play in the Internet age, but I don't think that everyone's demand for music has become less."
Song Linxin: "Let's put it that way, but to be honest, look at how many companies and singers are serious about making music now? They have all become vassals of your film and television industry."
"Then who's to blame? You guys have messed up the authoritative awards you've received before, either not holding them, or losing them. Now everyone wants to find some good songs to listen to. Just open a few listening apps and you'll find hundreds of them. I haven’t changed a few songs in the past year. Not to mention the old songs, half of the new songs are chart-topping songs by idol artists, and the other half are film and television OSTs.”
"Who doesn't know how to complain?" Song Linxin said.
"Actually, if "Little Song Gathering" can continue to be held, at least there will be a chance for you singer-songwriters to compete in singing, but this program is gone."
"Today's music variety shows are all covers, so there is no room for originality." Song Linxin said, "Look at how many music variety shows I have participated in. I can't even sing my own songs, I just cover them all."
< br>
Lu Yanhe said: "Original works have no popularity and no traffic."
Song Linxin: "Despair, I even thought that I should just go into acting. But my talent is not in acting."
Lu Yanhe: "What do you think of idol artists now? Compared with a few years ago."
"Needless to say, it's so popular. Now, in addition to the show "Idol Era", with the popularity of these idol performances, various activities and programs have begun to invite them, and they have taken over a large area of music platforms. .”
"What do you think of their music?"
"Well... I can understand why their songs are popular, but I don't really appreciate the music myself." Song Linxin said, "They are basically songs with strong rhythm and rap, which are very new generation. ”
"You yourself are only in your early twenties, why are you pretending to be old?" Lu Yanhe laughed, "But, look, film and television OSTs are still your old lyrical tunes, right? It cannot be said that the position of lyrical songs is gone. There is no one Willing to listen.”
"But the reality is that the investment cost for us to make a single, judging from the current market conditions, the possibility of losing money is huge. Singers like me and Qin Zhibai who have certain fans and fans are better off, but more They are not famous at all. In the past, record companies had stable channels to promote them, but now, how can there be any record companies to promote them? ”
Lu Yanhe said: "The essence is still lacking a market recognized by the industry and the market, so no one is willing to take risks."
"Yes, look at me making albums. I am not exaggerating. At this time, I am 100% losing money when making albums. It's just that as a singer, I am obsessed and have to release an album no matter what. I am a real singer. "Song Linxin said, "Especially for a singer-songwriter like me, how can I introduce myself to others without an album that can represent my own musical aesthetic?"
Lu Yanhe: "Are you interested in doing something together?"
"Ah?" Song Linxin was stunned.
"Actually, I was planning a program before, but after hearing your confusion, I also thought that maybe we could change our thinking." Lu Yanhe said.
Song Linxin looked at Lu Yanhe with some confusion.
Lu Yanhe: "Just like there is a program called "Idol Era" for idol artists. Since you singers, especially singer-songwriters, lack a stage where they can sing original works, why not create one?"
Song Linxin: “There is no platform to do it.”
"Then do it yourself." Lu Yanhe said bluntly.
Song Linxin was stunned and looked at Lu Yanhe in shock.
Lu Yanhe said: "Would you like to try it together?"
"A show like The Birth of an Actor?"
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded, "But to be honest, I don't know if this show will be popular, because there is one biggest risk in doing original work. The songs may not be good, and they may not be able to impress the audience. There are many covers of music variety shows, because of those Golden songs are all time-tested, as long as the singer performs them If it is done well, the quality of the stage can reach a certain standard and can impress the audience. On an original stage, eight songs or ten songs in one program, even if there are two songs, it is not enough to impress the audience, but it can impress the audience in one breath. Did you find so many good original songs? ”
Lu Yanhe's words made Song Linxin confused.
"Then...you said it, the risk of doing this show is very high." Song Linxin said, "Are you willing to do it?"
"Try it. The worst case scenario is that it will fail. Then you don't have a successful original music program in the first place. If you fail, you will fail." Lu Yanhe said, "But if it succeeds, it won't be as successful as "Idol Era", even if As long as it can continue to operate without losing money, won’t it be an additional channel for your music industry to deliver original singers and original works?”
Song Linxin couldn't deny that her heart was about to move.
After all, it was Lu Yanhe who suggested it. If Lu Yanhe were to do this show, it might really have a chance of success.
At this time, Li Zhenzhen suddenly appeared.
Lu Yanhe and Song Linxin found a place in the small courtyard outside and chatted quietly.
They took off all the radios on their bodies because they didn't want to be recorded on the show during this chat.
When Li Zhenzhen came over, they thought they had been away from the program recording for too long, so they asked them to go back.
Who knew that Li Zhenzhen walked up to them and said: "Can you count me as the program you are talking about? Let my team do it?"
Lu Yanhe: "..."
Song Linxin: "...Sister Zhenzhen, are you eavesdropping in the corner?"
Li Zhenzhen pointed behind them speechlessly.
They looked in the direction of Li Zhenzhen's finger and discovered that there was a camera under the eaves over there. Because of the darkness, they didn't notice it.
Fortunately, they had been searching for a long time before and found this place where they thought they could chat.
"..."
Lu Yanhe looked at Li Zhenzhen hesitantly and said, "Sister Zhenzhen, does your team... understand music?"
Li Zhenzhen: "We can cooperate with people who know the industry, but I just heard your positioning and expectations for this show, and I want to join in. I have a hunch that this show will become a landmark show."
Song Linxin looked at Lu Yanhe.
This program was proposed by Lu Yanhe, and she would not be stupid enough to speak at this time.
Lu Yanhe smiled helplessly and said, "Sister Zhenzhen, I can't give you an answer now. I have to call a friend first."
-
Lu Yanhe has long wanted to do a music-type program.
In fact, Lu Yanhe's first choice was "I Am a Singer", which brings together has-been singers to compete in PK. The popularity and selling point of this program are very clear.
However, Song Linxin's words made Lu Yanhe suddenly think of the program "Chinese Good Songs".
This program is just as magical. If "I Am a Singer" made many singers famous, then "Chinese Good Songs" really made many original songs become popular overnight in China.
For example, "Wukong" by Dai Quan, "Wild Son" by Su Yunying, "Rolling Bead Curtain" by Huo Zun, and "Once Upon a Time Slow" by Liu Hutie, who is not a famous singer but has a famous song.
Of course, of course, the first golden finger that Lu Yanhe came to this world, "Memory", was also produced by this program.
Between "I am a Singer" and "Chinese Good Songs", after listening to what Song Linxin said, Lu Yanhe chose the latter without any hesitation.
People always want to do something meaningful in this industry.
Similarly, Lu Yanhe has always wanted to do such a show to repay director Hou Jun for giving him the opportunity.
Lu Yanhe's first choice for director of this show is Hou Jun.
After the "Little Songs Gathering" program was no longer produced, Hou Jun almost became the go-to director for Northern Lights Video's large-scale evening parties, because his "Graduation Season" series and "Year-End Ceremony" series received very good responses.
However, Hou Jun has always wanted to do music synthesis again.
He himself is a person with extremely high musical literacy. For the soundtrack of the movie "Love Letter", almost all Hou Jun alone followed Lu Yanhe's request and found the top musicians in the industry to dub the movie.
Lu Yanhe dialed Hou Jun's phone number.
-
Hou Jun was very depressed.
A music variety project he submitted two days ago was killed by Northern Lights Video.
The reason is that the budget is too high, but there are too many homogeneous programs on the market, and the senior management is not optimistic about the market feedback of this program.
A program with a too low budget, Northern Lights, was also rejected for a different reason. The reason was that it was too overqualified for Hou Jun.
Hou Jun knew very well in his heart that Northern Lights currently has no shortage of good directors for variety shows. However, there are really not many directors within Northern Lights who can host parties and ceremonies. However, he was the one who hit the target. The response to the party we do is great. Every year in the graduation season series, the investment of one party can exceed 100 million yuan.
Therefore, Northern Lights does not want him to be distracted now, and basically gives him the directing work of various large-scale events.
Hou Jun can't say that he just does these jobs hard and is not happy with them. Northern Lights is not a stingy company. His income in the past few years is comparable to his previous income from the show "Little Songs Gathering Crowds" Much higher.
However, sometimes people just want to do what they love after making enough money.
He still wants to do a music-related program.
A music program that can go on forever.
He was taking his old friend to drink in a bar outside to relieve his depression, when his cell phone suddenly rang.
His friend saw it first.
His friend sounded excited and patted his shoulder.
"Lu Yanhe called you!"

I've been dizzy all day today. It may be influenza A. I need to get tested tomorrow. (End of chapter)
