Yang Shiyi originally thought that he would meet Lu Yanhe, but he didn't expect that there were Li Zhibai and Yu Mengling in the room, as well as someone he didn't know.
He was a little surprised, and at the same time he was a little restrained and sat down.
Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Let me introduce it, Yang Shiyi, the drama I took you to watch today, the role of the third young master was played by him. I watched it the day before yesterday. In one scene, what he played was not the same texture as the actor today, but unfortunately he did not appear today."
Yu Mengling looked at Yang Shiyi curiously and asked Lu Yanhe: "You guys Are you a good friend? "
"Oh, no, I met him for the first time today." Lu Yanhe said, "I contacted him through a friend of the Ice Field Video. "Roa" "The drama version of "The Ice Field Video is being developed, and he discovered him."
Miao Yue looked at Yang Shiyi and nodded, "It's very similar, it's so similar."
Lu Yanhe said, "When I watched his performance in the audience the day before yesterday, I was also surprised. I didn't expect it to be like this. Suitable, I went to watch it with Huang Kairen the day before yesterday. Huang Kairen also said that if I knew him before filming a movie, I might not have asked him to act."
Li Zhi Bai tsk, "That's a pity today. I didn't see you on stage."
Yang Shiyi silently said, "I'm sorry." "Are you feeling uncomfortable today?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Yang Shiyi: "No, the arrangement of the group."
Miao Yue asked: "Have you never acted in a film and television drama before? I have no impression of you, but you are too handsome, if so I have seen you and will definitely be impressed."
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "If Liu Bige is here, you will definitely be jealous."
"How could it be? I often follow you He evaluates which male actors look good. "
"You really dance frequently in dangerous areas." Li Zhibai said seriously.
Miao Yue: "..."
Yang Shiyi was a little confused and didn't know why this was related to Liu Bige again.
Of course, he was embarrassed to ask.
Lu Yanhe asked, "Do you have an agency?"
Yang Shiyi shook her head and said, "I signed a contract with the theater troupe."
"Can you only perform dramas in the troupe?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised. "Not it, it's the same as a normal work contract, but when you go out to act, you need to approve the troupe, otherwise you can only resign." Yang Shiyi said bluntly, "But usually if you have the opportunity to act outside, The group will approve it, especially for actors like us who do not play the leading role and are not famous."
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "You actually acted very well in the drama, but if you If you are willing to act in a film and television drama, I can recommend it to Shihuo - an agency opened by my agent to help you do film and television drama Some agents of the drama. Are you willing to act in the drama "Rouge Button"? I know some drama actors look down on film and television dramas."
"I don't." Yang Shiyi shook her head , and said, "I just don't want to act bad dramas."
"Well, I have contacted you too, and it is possible that they want to sign you too. If that's the case, you choose It's OK with either side, and they won't treat you badly." Lu Yanhe said, "If they finally agree to you to act in this drama."
Yang Shiyi nodded.
Lu Yanhe turned to look at Yu Mengling.
"Sister Ling, how about it? Do you want to read the script and try the makeup?" Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "Although I know, you have never acted in a TV series, and you usually only act in the drama you like, However, I really couldn't imagine that among the actresses I think of at present, who can perform different versions from Sister Bi Ge, but can make people believe and like it? "
Yu Mengling was still hesitant and said, "I think that if I go to play a brothel woman, I may not be able to play well. Sister Bi Ge is in front of me, and I... have never played such a role."
"Sister Ling, do you know why I think you can?" Lu Yanhe said, "Because you give me the feeling that you are a woman with a very literary and pure temperament. To be honest, I have to find it in the entertainment industry. Very few actors with this temperament.
"And Ruhua, although she is a brothel woman, she is a woman who will die with her sweetheart, just to break free from the shackles of the world and be together forever. This idealism that is almost like a moth flying into a flame and deceiving herself. , the version played by Sister Bi Ge is a version with the most affectionate nature, and has been played to the extreme.
"In my imagination, if you act, you will be a more biased towards pursuing freedom and not The version of an independent woman who is willing to compromise with the secular world does not seem to fit the background of that era, but it probably means that compared to the movie version of the ultimate love and sudden awakening, the TV version of the flower is from the same At the beginning, I believe in it. Looking for the Twelve Young Masters later is also to confirm the purest and pureness that I pursue step by step. This is also the difference reflected in the script adapted by Miao Yue. "
Yu Mengling showed a little surprised.
"This complements you the unique temperament that is a bit alienated from the surroundings. "Lu Yanhe said, "This is my imagination and positioning of the drama version. "
Yu Mengling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will the crew shoot as you said just now? ”
"How to shoot in the end, what I promised was useless. I am just an artistic director, but I think, if I, screenwriter Miao Yue, and you really come to star in the role, we can all agree to find a like-minded person. Director, you should be able to work hard in this direction."
Yu Mengling said: "Then please show me the script first. I want to read the script first, at least let me see the first three How is the collection written?"
"No problem." Miao Yue said, "The script of our entire collection has been revised several times. You can also read it through. If you have any ideas or opinions, please follow me at any time. Communication. "
Yu Mengling was surprised.
"You have finished writing the script of the entire episode?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "She has polished it for a whole year, and she has devoted herself to this script in this year."
Yu Mengling said: "This is the first time I have come into contact with you."
A drama, you can directly see the complete script."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
Li Zhibai said: "Now, TV series often only have the first ten episodes of the scripts to start looking for actors. I have taken so many scripts, but in fact there are only a few movies when I was looking for me, and there are complete ones. The script."
Lu Yanhe once again felt that his past acting experience was special to some extent, and different from others.
Because the people who work with them are all top directors, or they are screenwriters themselves, and if he acts in any drama, he will only join the group after getting the complete script.
At most, there is no finalization and further modifications are required.
Lu Yanhe asked Yu Mengling in surprise: "Sister Ling, you haven't acted in a TV series because of this reason?"
"On the one hand, this reason, and on the other hand, it's the reason, , there are few TV series to find me." Yu Mengling smiled and shook her head, "I'm not popular."
Yu Mengling is indeed in the circle with a status far higher than her actual fame and commercial value than her actual reputation and business value. the person.
A big reason why she has such a status and professional image in the circle is not only because she is the queen of the film industry, but also because she always insists on only performing arts films and has never acted in a commercial film.
Because it is scarce and really resists fame and fortune, it makes people respect it.
Lu Yanhe suddenly thought that if "Rouge Button" really asked Yu Mengling and Yang Shiyi to star in it, Ice Field Video might not agree.
The male and female starring, no popular celebrity.
Do you have to persevere?
-
In this regard, Bingyuan Video suddenly respects Lu Yanhe's opinions.
"If you really think that the two of them are suitable, and no one is more suitable than them, then we will decide them."
Lu Yanhe didn't know that he should be respected by Ice Field Video so much How to describe your own mood.
Of course it is not flattered, it is not favored, it is only shock.
Because this is not in line with the style of a first-line video platform.
Even if he is Lu Yanhe.
Chen Ziyan said: "You're thinking too much. If you think Yang Shiyi and Yu Mengling are very good, first, "Rouge Button" is now a big IP, with the film version and the Korean version ahead. The early attention and popularity of this drama do not need to be brought by popular stars. Second, Yang Shiyi is the one they like, and they will sign Yang Shiyi - as far as I know, they are already communicating about this matter Then even if the show did not meet expectations in the end, it was the level of this show The first time I started, I became a male protagonist with a big IP, and I played the male and female protagonist with a film queen like Yu Mengling. A quasi-first-line star came to their arms. "
"And Third? "
"Third, I have expressed enough respect for you to facilitate further cooperation with you." Chen Ziyan said, "Of course, there is another point. I believe in your vision and I believe in what you agree with The cast can be successful.”
Lu Yanhe: "Okay."
"In addition, the script of "Rouge" also has the second male and second female characters, and there are also many scenes. Although Yu Mengling's popularity is not as popular as The traffic ratio is, but he is the best actress, with a high status and can hold back the situation. The second male lead female lead can just use a more popular young actor, and there are many under Iceland Video.
" Since they are aimed at the drama king, they must make this drama a fine drama, and the quality is higher than anything else when they have already gained great attention. "
Chen Ziyan said: "I think it is the wisest choice for you to find Yu Mengling to act in this drama. Only actresses of this level can truly make the drama different. Looking forward to the movie version. ”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Sometimes, I have to believe in women's intuition. Miao Yue said that she wrote the script according to her image because of Yu Mengling's unique and unique temperament. I have never thought of it. After all, Yu Mengling is suitable for acting like a flower."
"I know." Chen Ziyan said, "The interesting part of the entertainment industry is here. Sometimes it is really like doing experiments. You can only find a suitable one. Only by achieving the desired results can you get the desired results, but before you succeed, you don’t know what is the right raw material. "
"There are risks everywhere." Lu Yanhe smiled, "But this is the same as have Meaning, otherwise there would be no newness. The movie version has been so successful, and the drama version is still launched so quickly, which must be a bit new for the audience." "
"Yang Shiyi will become famous overnight, he There is a face that is lacking in the film industry now." Chen Ziyan said, "It is quite strange that this face has not been discovered by the film industry before. If it weren't for people from the Ice-Bird video, it might have been buried." "That's not the case, mainly because of the themes of our current film and television dramas. There is actually no need for such a decent face, especially male characters, for them." Lu Yanhe said.
Just like Chow Yun-fat and Zunlong when they were young, their appearances were like that, in the current entertainment industry, were there any movies that suited them?
Anyway, at first glance, no character needs their face like that. Today's film and television dramas - especially movies, almost no protagonists need a handsome and noble face, and the times have changed.
-
Lu Yanhe actually likes to discuss these changes in the industry with Chen Ziyan.
Many things are really clear when you listen to them.
He has his own opinion on this industry, and others have opinions.
A person’s perspective is always limited, and only by truly seeing the real thing can one combine the changes in the industry to determine what kind of work you should make in the next period of time.
It seems that not many works are established in any period.
Every work is unique. For example, the current "Home Imperial" does not have top stars to support the box office, and it is also a children's comedy theme. In addition to the Spring Festival period, Lu Yanhe could not think of any other schedule suitable.
Learn why Iceland Video agreed to Meng Lingjia and Yang Shiyi, a lineup that doesn't seem to meet the current casting standards, and it also facilitates Lu Yanhe to figure out the thinking logic of Iceland Video and facilitates his subsequent projects. Promote.
In order to get Yu Mengling to agree to star in this drama, the senior executives from Bingyuan Video also came to the door three times and kept lobbying.
Yu Mengling took the opportunity to put forward many of his own ideas on the script and confirmed with the Ice Box video how to shoot the drama in the end and what it would look like.
At this stage, Lu Yanhe withdrew.
-
At this time, news came from Darren Wilson that the filming agreement between "Burning Live" and Parameter was reached.
Parameter agreed to the film's plan to use Li Zhibai.
Parameter simultaneously started the performance contract negotiations with Li Zhibaifang.
Lin Suyang has no relevant experience at all, so he has to come and ask Chen Ziyan for advice.
Lu Yanhe had several phone calls with Zebi Doyle to discuss the shooting ideas for "Buried Live". Zeby Doyle actually wants to make a long shot that runs through the movie.
Lu Yanhe was shocked.
Long shots of course have the effect of long shots, but in a story like "Buried Live", it is a bit unnecessary to make so-called long shots.
It was originally a movie of a person. In such a cramped space, it was still a long shot. Whatever you think, what would you think?
Long shots are very cool, as long as there is something to show off.
There is no movement of space and no change in perspective between multiple actors. Playing a long shot in "Buried Live" is a one-man show under a fixed camera position.
Maybe they will even be called a "pseudo documentary".
He doesn't plan to make a leek-cut movie like "The Witch of Blair".
Fortunately, Zeby Doyle is still a person who listens to advice.
More importantly, how to shoot this movie actually depends on the director.
The director has not yet found the film "Buried Live".
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Lu Yanhe doesn't have to worry about this.
With a film company like Parameter with an extremely rich directorial talent pool, they will definitely find the right director candidate.
And another important part of the cooperation agreement is that the movie "Buried Alive" retains a 35% investment share for Lu Yanhe and his film production company - this is the share that needs to enjoy priority dividends.
From this point, we can see the importance of Darren Wilson, a Hollywood agent. In the negotiation of specific terms of the contract, he defended the rights and interests of Lu Yanhe very fiercely, and, very clearly, When requiring Parameter to carry out any form of derivative development of film copyright, it is necessary to obtain written consent from Lu Yanhefang.
At the same time, any form of profit obtained from "Burning Live" needs to be settled by Lu Yanhe's side first, etc.
Not only that, Darren Wilson also suggested that Lu Yanhefang sign a contract with a reliable accounting firm in Hollywood, and they would arrange for someone to represent Lu Yanhe, who has been in the financial work of the "Buried Live" movie since the early stage, and was alone Master a book that "will not be concealed or deceived by Parameter" and understand the real production funds of the movie.
Otherwise, any film company has a group of accounting masters. When you happily hold a check and feel that you have made a lot of money, you don’t know that you have made more money.
At this time, Lu Yanhe could only cooperate with the most famous accounting firm, because he had no acquaintances and was unfamiliar, so he could only choose those well-known companies first.
Chen Ziyan said: "At this time, it's time to use Zhenhua's connections. So many of your seniors work in the United States, especially in finance and law. How many people are there? , with Zhenhua's relationship, isn't it much better than finding it yourself? ”
Lu Yanhe immediately went to find his teacher in Zhenhua.
-
Several projects have been substantially promoted, and for the media, this is certainly the exclusive news of the competition.
In the United States, Variety Show magazine has always been a leader in this field.
They were the first to report on the movie "Buried Live", including the news that it will be starring Chinese popular star Li Zhibai. It was also reported that the film will be a thriller that also focuses on Asian identities.
This is the first release.
For Americans, this news is not very eye-catching, just because it is the first Hollywood movie written by Lu Yanhe, which has attracted the attention of some industry and film critics.
After all, Li Zhibai is not well-known in the United States.
But after this news was transmitted back to China, it caused an uproar.
Written by Lu Yanhe and starring Li Zhibai, if this production company was not Parameter, wouldn’t this be a purely Chinese-language film configuration?
Most importantly, this movie is starring Lee Jibai, not a supporting role or co-star.
Even Lu Yanhe has never starred in a movie in Hollywood.
Li Zhibai did this.
His fans began to promote this matter at the first time.
The entry of #Lee Zhibai Hollywood movie actor# was pushed to the hot search by his fans.
Just as everyone was still talking about "Buried Alive", "Variety Show" reported another news:
The science fiction movie "Source Code" written by screenwriter Lu Yanhe has reached a cooperation intention with director Lu Nei Rees, and will be The latter is directed by the production company of Lune Rees. It is worth noting that Lune Rees was originally advancing the work "Doom Day", which just had an uncertain future due to Tom Filton's resignation.
This news has attracted much more attention in Hollywood than "Buried Live".
After all, everyone is paying attention to Lune Rees' new project.
In a short period of time, Lu Yanhe was exposed for the second Hollywood project, which not only shocked the Chinese entertainment industry, but also made Hollywood pay attention to these two projects, as well as screenwriter Lu Yanhe.
-
"As a top actor, there is no doubt that Lu Yanhe's identity as a top screenwriter has played a crucial role in opening up overseas markets for him."
When there are many different opinions Guan Suchen, an entertainment critic who has always been very concerned about Lu Yanhe, recorded a short video on his own media channel to comment on this matter.
"I believe that whether it is "Buried Live" or "Source Code", they must be the kind of script that Lu Yanhe is best at - the production cost is low and the development threshold is low. Otherwise, Lu Yanhe would not have been able to go there. Los Angeles was able to push two movies into the development stage so quickly. "
"Lu Yanhe's achievements as a screenwriter are actually not inferior to his achievements as an actor at all. If any actor wants If you copy his success and only copy his part as an actor, you may not be able to copy it successfully. It can be foreseeable that if any of the movies in "Buried Live" and "Source Code" succeed, Lu Yanhe will definitely become a hot new star in Hollywood. —Although he has been Hollywood's hottest Asian actor after "The Mist". "
"I am very pleased that Lu Yanhe was able to maintain his ambition to conquer the world while keeping his work focus on Chinese films and TV series. He not only starred in the Malaysian film "Tropical Rainy Season" and the American horror film "Misty Misty" 》, also used his talent as a screenwriter to write two English scripts. He brought Li Zhibai and another Chinese actress to Hollywood, not only for himself, but also for the talented China around him. People create opportunities to be known to the world."
The video of Guan Suchen's comment has attracted a lot of attention and discussion.
What surprised everyone the most was the part that Guan Suchen said later. "It is said that in recent days, Lu Yanhe has been very serious in the preparations for the drama "Rouge Button" and made a match for the drama "Rouge Button" to choose a pair that we unexpectedly have. But it is said that it is very suitable actors. One of them is a complete newcomer, who has never appeared in any film and television dramas before, and the other one is also a candidate that everyone expected. A friend of Bingyuan Video told me that if it weren't for Lu Yanhe Thinking they are suitable and the final result is definitely not the starring lineup that Bingyuan Video will agree to. "
"So, let's be happy that a film and television person like Lu Yanhe appears. He is gathering on his own. The power of many people is improving the environment of our entire Chinese film and television dramas, and taking our Chinese film and television dramas to the world."
-
In Hollywood, Lu Yanhe's two scripts became the most asked questions lately.
In fact, Hollywood has never lacked scripts.
There are a large number of scripts circulating among everyone every day.
But there are few scripts written by a screenwriter who announces that they will shoot movies one after another, and they are working with different film companies.
It is this speed of front and back, coupled with Lu Yanhe's own popularity that makes these two scripts very concerned.
In such frequent reading, the two scripts that "Buried Alive" and "Source Code" whose creativity is greater than literary and character have made Lu Yanhe see by many film companies that he created commercial scripts. Talent.
Before that, Lu Yanhe's screenwriter talent was mainly positioned in the field of drama by Hollywood.
Because, among the works written by Lu Yanhe in the past, only "Friends" and "Squid Game", were the two movies such as "Rouge" and "Love Letter". Although they all won awards at the International Film Festival, that was mainly concentrated in the field of film and did not form a relatively wide commercial effect that was familiar to ordinary audiences.
Miya didn't expect that he had just contacted Lu Yanhe to negotiate the role of the "Godless" series, and Lu Yanhe actually reached a script cooperation with other film companies at the same time.
Schmidt Lawley sent an email to Lu Yanhe for this, complaining that Lu Yanhe did not give them the script "Source Code".
Lu Yanhe replied with an email: I wanted to cooperate with Lu Nei from the beginning. Although I did not have "Source Code", I still have another script in my hand. Maybe you will be interested.
Schmidt Lawley asked in surprise: What is it?
Lu Yanhe asked Wan Qingqing to send the paper version of "Red Eye Flight" to Schmidt Lawley's office.
-
In fact, there is a sentence in Guan Suchen's evaluation of Lu Yanhe that is very sharp.
Why is the success rate of Lu Yanhe's script so high? Moreover, the development speed is very fast?
There is a very critical reason, that is, the scripts created by Lu Yanhe are very low in shooting difficulty or production cost.
The scripts Lu Yanhe has produced at this stage are all scripts that focus on creativity and character performance, and there is no need to work hard on special effects or large scenes.
No need to mention "Buried Alive". "Source Code" is a science fiction-themed movie that is definitely very expensive in everyone's impression. It is actually a "soft science fiction". The main scene is on a train. The only one The big scene of burning money is actually the moment of explosion.
However, although the movie explodes many times, in fact, it is possible to shoot an explosion at different angles, and multiple explosion shots can be completed in one shot.
For "Red-Eye Flight", Lu Yanhe directly cut off the content after two people got off the plane and returned home.
The movie itself was not highly praised after getting off the plane.
When Lu Yanhe watched this movie himself, he felt that this part on the plane was enough.
If the confrontation between the heroine and the villain hero ends when she pierces the pen into his neck, the movie is actually more straightforward.
For the movie, it actually saves a lot of shooting fees.
Lu Yanhe believes that no film company will actually reject scripts like "Red-Eye Flight".
Because it is obviously a story that can make money.
As expected, Schmidt Lawley quickly expressed his willingness to buy the script "Red-Eye Flight" and make it into a movie.
Lu Yanhe replied that his production company is going to participate in the production of the movie, and he already has a candidate for the heroine of the movie. He was originally planning to shoot his own production company. This movie.
-
At this time, Jiang Yuqian was in the United States, in New York, and just met a producer.
Jiang Yuqian was not very satisfied with the result of the meeting.
Although they are polite on the surface, in fact, Jiang Yuqian can feel the "slightness" in the other party's attitude.
In particular, a movie that invested more than 20 million US dollars was only willing to pay her a hundred thousand US dollars.
It was so low that Jiang Yuqian felt that she was being insulted.
So, after coming out, Jiang Yuqian found a cafe, went in and sat down, and slowly calmed down her mood by drinking coffee.
After a while, the agent He Heng finished the phone call, came over and sat down opposite her.
"The $100,000 salary is really an insult to people. If it is such a number, I won't act." Jiang Yuqian said, "I am not an unknown junior, it is obviously bullying us Asia. Actors."
He Heng sighed and said, "They are too arrogant. They know that many Asian actors are willing to act in a Hollywood movie at a low price to increase their popularity."
"That's not me, I don't need it." Jiang Yuqian was annoyed, "I would rather not act than do this."
"This is a rare movie for heroines that we have come into contact with." He Heng said, " We have never received a heroine movie in Hollywood before."
He Heng felt that at least we should open up the situation in this way first.
Having played the heroine and not the heroine are completely different concepts.
"No." Jiang Yuqian shook her head, "If I hadn't played in "Squid Game", I could accept low pay because I really don't know anyone in Hollywood, and it's normal for me to get a high pay, but now If I accept such a pay, it would also make us Asian actors too cheap."
He Heng didn't expect Jiang Yuqian to be so persistent in the matter of pay.
To be honest, Jiang Yuqian doesn't need to make money by pay now.
As long as she takes over this movie, even if the movie is not paid for a penny, the heroine of a Hollywood movie will be enough to make her endorse several times and then increase her endorsement fee.
However, on the other hand, He Heng actually supports Jiang Yuqian's decision. (This chapter ends)
