Chen Siqi didn't mean that he had to go to a certain position when he jumped.
But, now "Jump Up" is a top domestic magazine. Monthly sales have dropped slightly after the annual inventory, but the January issue has remained stable at 350,000 copies.
For her, she always believed that anything she did must be "a boating against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."
If you think that "jumping up" and achieving this achievement is already very good, and you start to "guard the country" from now on, then the country may only be smaller and smaller.
"On the one hand, we can further enhance our popularity and influence in various vertical fields, and on the other hand, we can also help us maintain good relationships with artists in various fields." Chen Siqi said, "For them, curatorial and cross-field cooperation, all these need a professional institution to help them manage, which is also the direction we can explore."
"However, we 'jump up' now, there are no people in this field, and we need to integrate resources," said Lin Yu. "Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "Let's choose internally to see if there are suitable candidates to cultivate. If not, please find a headhunting company to help us find it outside."
After the opening, everyone will scatter the fish and beasts.
Lin Yu and the others stayed.
She said, "This time Situer, why didn't you accompany Yan He?"
"He only stayed for two days this time, so I was too lazy to go." Chen Siqi said, "There are so many things here. How are the preparations for this year's second International Film Critics Film Festival?"
"I have been in contact with film critics, because the first session has received a good response, and our work this year is much better." Lin Yu said bluntly, "Everyone knows what kind of film festival this is, so I have fewer concerns. However, when it comes to film selection, I am struggling whether it is necessary to choose "Big Red Lantern" and "Tropical Rainy Season"."
"Our film festival is too close to Citur in June." Chen Siqi said, "regardless of whether these two films will win awards in Citur, they have just been on Citur and have experienced a round of large-scale publicity exposure and discussion. I personally recommend not to put it in the film list."
Linyu nodded, "Then our views are the same."
Chen Siqi said: "It is Huang Tianlin, director of "Tropical Rainy Season", I remember that his previous directorial debut had a good response at the Toronto Film Festival, and his evaluation was very high. Maybe we can put this movie on the list and then invite Huang Tianlin over to have a conversation with film critics."
Linyu said, "Okay, I'll go and communicate with his film company."
"It's just a pity. Yan He played a supporting role in "The Rainy Season" this time. Otherwise, he might be able to directly win the best actor of the Situer Film Festival." Xu Zijun said.
Bai Yu asked: "The best actor at the Xituer Film Festival is not only evaluated for the male lead, right? I remember that the international film festival generally evaluated not the Best Actor and Best Actress, but the Best Actor and Best Actress. In the past, there were also supporting actors who won awards."
"That's true, but in fact, there are only a few. It's really because the judges of that class liked this actor too much." Chen Siqi was just talking, and suddenly was stunned, because she suddenly thought that there was Liu Bigo in the jury of this class of Citur. "No way?"
The thoughts that came out of her mind made her feel a little unbelievable.
-
The screening of "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" was very successful.
As Lu Yanhe expected, this movie is a film that is extremely suitable for international film festivals. The media and film critics have highly praised it. As soon as the scores of the magazine came out, they jumped first.
Chen Bige's performance also made her regarded as the seed contestant of the best actress of this year's Situer Film Festival.
Although Li Yuefeng only made a guest appearance in it, he also appeared on the red carpet and interview seat of Citur with the crew, and appeared at the top international film festival for the first time with his works.
He himself was very happy.
But what made him a little depressed was that except for the domestic media, no one discussed his appearance or performance in the film.
Lu Yanhe attended several official activities with the crew and completed his publicity work.
Li Yuefeng said to him again: "Yan He, what movie do you need me to act next time? I am willing to make a guest appearance in a friendly manner like "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High". You can find me more, and I want to come to such an international film festival more."
Saying so bluntly that he wants to come to the film festival—
The only top stars Lu Yanhe knows seems to be Li Yuefeng.
To a certain extent, Li Yuefeng and Jiang Yuqian are very similar.
The concept of this image refers to their very frank attitude towards facing their ambitions, desires and desires for fame and fortune, and will not pretend to be noble or elegant.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said yes.
However, he also said bluntly: "If you want to get more attention at international film festivals, you should work with the best art film directors in China, star in their movies, and bring the movies you star in. The attention you get is completely different."
Li Yuefeng: "I think, how could my agency allow me to reduce my pay and spend several months acting in an art film? Only your movie, OK, they won't talk nonsense."
Lu Yanhe: "Of course you have to fight for this. Before, Yan Liang wanted to act some of the scenes he wanted to act, but his agent also disagreed. They had negotiated many times and finally gave in to each other. Yan Liang cooperated with their work. They would also give Yan Liang a chance to act the scenes he wanted to act."
Li Yuefeng: "That's because Yan Liang knows what kind of scenes he wants to act. Let me be honest, I'll read the ability of the script. That's it. I think a good script may not necessarily be good, or if I encounter a good script in the future, I will "I can ask you for your opinion?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "I can recommend scripts to you, but I am afraid of recommending scripts to others. There is a very important reason because others always think that the script I recommend will definitely be successful, which puts a lot of pressure on me. I can only judge from the script level whether this is a good script or a bad script, whether this role is suitable for acting, and whether it is challenging, but you also know whether the script can be successful. Although the script is important, the director is more important, and the team is the leader."
Li Yuefeng: "If it is the script you recommend, I will be willing to use my own strength to arm it. Really, I am even willing to invest on my own."
"Don't be impulsive, there is something to say, art films, nine out of ten investments, including myself." Lu Yanhe said, "I have actually invested in many small-cost films in China, and rarely can I really make a profit."
Li Yuefeng was surprised.
"Really? Everyone says you are a person with a very accurate vision, will you fail?"
"Of course, I can't predict it in the future." Lu Yanhe said, "You have to think clearly about it yourself. I know you may not really regard film art as art, but you can act. There is no doubt that you are under the command of a good director, and you will be a good actor, so I told you all this. Although you don't have so many artistic pursuits, you can help some directors who have not yet become famous. But the problem is that it is definitely not something that can be achieved by one movie or two movies. You must be prepared for long-term efforts without rewards."
Li Yuefeng pondered for a moment and asked, "Then do you think that even if long-term efforts are not rewarded, should I do it?"
"OK.""OK.""Sure." Lu Yanhe nodded, "You are an actor who can act. You can not only be a traffic star. People will gradually lose the most original popularity and attention brought by their appearance as they grow older. At this time, you need industry influence, acting skills, and need to be more important. In a more popular sense, social recognition. If you can support many art film directors through your own actions over the years, even if you don’t win any awards in the end, the industry will have different views on you. These are things you can hold in your hands. Not to mention, from the perspective of secular values, you may be able to win awards with a good work, further enhance your influence, and even become a bigger actor."
"Okay." Li Yuefeng nodded, "Since you say that, I'll do it."
"Ha?"
"I trust you very much." Li Yuefeng said, "Only you can tell me the truth."
"Impossible."
"Really, I told the company that I want to act in a more serious and valuable film. They think I am not that material, there is no need to waste time, and it also feels that it will affect my popularity and commercial value. Sometimes I talk to other directors and producers. Although they all like me to act in their films, I can actually feel that their positioning for me is a big star, able to attract investment and help projects gain greater attention." Li Yuefeng said, "You don't look down on my utilitarian purpose, you can also affirm my acting skills, and you are willing to help me, only you."
Lu Yanhe: "Then believe me. As you slowly open your circle, you will meet more people who are willing to help you. In the past, you must have been too conscientious and locked yourself in the same circle and not interacting with others."
Li Yuefeng: "Then I also admit that I am not a person who is good at dealing with others. Sometimes, I assume that all my colleagues are competitive and I don't want to be friends with them. It's too fake. I always feel that there is no real friendship in the entertainment industry."
Lu Yanhe: "Where is me?"
"To be honest, if it weren't for the huge gap between me and you, I wouldn't think we could really be friends." Li Yuefeng said honestly.
Lu Yanhe smiled, "I don't know why you have such a thought. Maybe it has something to do with what you encountered when you entered this industry from the beginning, but your ideas will change, really."
Li Yuefeng shrugged.
"Hope."
Lu Yanhe: "Let's go back and help me act in a movie, the second male lead, how about it?"
"Who is the male lead?" Li Yuefeng asked, "I won't use the male lead who is worse than me as a stepping stone."
Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.
Li Yuefeng is Li Yuefeng. He never hides his own ideas - even with such ideas, he can clearly say them in a more tactful way and less hurtful way. But this is exactly the important reason why Lu Yanhe is obviously very different from his personality and his values are not very similar, but he is still able to become friends. "Li Zhibai," said Lu Yanhe.
Li Yuefeng pondered for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay."
"Don't worry, you won't let you suffer." Lu Yanhe said, "This movie will definitely have good results."
Li Yuefeng: "Is that true?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "And you will definitely receive a lot of attention, it will not be a stepping stone."
"Okay." Li Yuefeng said, "Then you go back and give me the script, and I will tell the company that they don't make things difficult for them."
"It's okay, just be a man and a man. If they want to turn off this movie due to reasons other than the second male lead, then this company has no vision." Lu Yanhe said, "You can also consider changing companies. I don't need your friendly support in all aspects. Everything is fine. Just follow the market conditions."
Li Yuefeng looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise. "You have to know that even if I play the second male lead, if I don't say hello, the company will pay according to my normal movie pay."
"Let's go." Lu Yanhe nodded, "As long as I don't speak loudly, I don't want any participants to suffer any losses in any film and television project, unless it's not profitable from the beginning. I will tell you clearly that this is not a commercial project."
Li Yuefeng stared at Lu Yanhe with amazement.
"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"
"Tell me the truth, so I'll tell you the truth," said Lu Yanhe.
Li Yuefeng: "You are really admirable, I really admire you."
Lu Yanhe smiled brightly: "Can you win people with virtue?"
"If you only have virtue, then I am not that convinced," said Li Yuefeng.
Lu Yanhe: "...Oh, sometimes I hope you don't be so direct to me."
-
In the evening, Lu Yanhe met Huang Tianlin and Huang Feng who had just arrived in Situer.
Huang Feng has started school and has taken a special leave.
He is the number one protagonist in "Rainy Season", and it is impossible for him not to appear.
The reason why the two of them came here so late is actually a very critical reason. Their company does not have that much budget, so they can live here for so long. They even go back one day with Lu Yanhe.
After the screening end tomorrow, Huang Tianlin and Huang Feng will leave Situer the day after tomorrow.
This is also a very embarrassing place for independent films. Even if they were shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Citur Film Festival, they actually couldn't enjoy the glory of the film festival so easily.
Lu Yanhe invited them to have supper together.
This is not the first time Huang Tianlin has participated in the film festival, but the main competition unit of the Citur Film Festival can be said to be the temple of every director who wants to make an art film.
Huang Tianlin never expected that the movie "Rainy Season" would have such results.
This is his second movie.
After Lu Yanhe saw Huang Tianlin, he obviously felt that he was a little excited and nervous.
"The screening will be held tomorrow, director, are you looking forward to it?"
Huang Tianlin: "I have been insomnia for several nights."
"I was a little nervous too. I never thought that "Tropical Rainy Season" would come to Situer." Lu Yanhe said, "You are so awesome, and the second work was shortlisted for Situer's main competition unit."
Huang Tianlin: "Isn't this a benefit from your fortune?"
"Is that true? Why don't I know?" Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
Producer Yuan Hai smiled and said, "If it weren't for you, the film selection team of Citur might not have noticed our movie."
"So I have this effect." Lu Yanhe smiled, "I didn't plan to come this year, after all, I was just a screenwriter of "The Big Red Lantern" and suddenly told me that "The Rainy Season" was shortlisted."
"Then you have to come, we all have to rely on you to support the game."
"No, believe me, after the screening of "The Rainy Season", Director Huang will be known to the whole world." Lu Yanhe said, "I am very excited to see the final film of the "The Rainy Season". I have watched some clips before, and I am looking forward to it."
Yuan Hai smiled mysteriously at Lu Yanhe and said, "You will be surprised."
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was surprised, "Surprise?"
Yuan Hai said: "When Tianlin was editing the film, he praised your performance in part."
Lu Yanhe: "Is that true?"
He turned to look at Huang Tianlin.
This young director who was very reluctant to participate in the role of him at the beginning, turned his head to the other side, as if he had heard nothing.
Lu Yanhe asked, "What is the surprise?"
Yuan Hai: "You will know when you see the movie tomorrow."
Lu Yanhe saw that Yuan Hai refused to say it now, so he had to give up.
He turned to look at Huang Feng.
"Are you happy to shoot the movie "Home Imperial"?" The child's eyes were as bright as the night pearl.
"Fun!" Huang Feng was very excited, "I like it!"
Lu Yanhe guessed that Huang Feng would definitely be very happy when he filmed "The Little Owner".
There are so many props that make people teasing, so how can I try them out one by one?
Huang Feng asked: "They said that this movie will have a sequel, right?"
Lu Yanhe nodded: "Yes, we are planning to shoot another movie this summer vacation, but in this way, you won't have summer vacation."
Huang Feng: "I don't need summer vacation, I want to film "The Little Owner"."
At the beginning, "Home Imperial" was originally planned to shoot one movie a year, but later everyone considered that Huang Feng was developing and that he really had a speed of one movie a year. If he could not shoot two movies, Huang Feng would grow into a teenager.
Although it is not impossible to take photos when growing up as a teenager, it is still not as interesting as when he was a child.
So, I finally decided to shoot two movies a year.
Huang Tianlin of course also knows the movie "Home Imperial".
He asked, "How many movies are you going to make?"
"I have a complete three-part idea myself," said Lu Yanhe. In fact, it was because he only watched three movies. He thought for a while and said, "If the market feedback of this movie series has always been very good, he may continue to shoot it later, but he may ask other screenwriters to write the script later."
Huang Tianlin nodded.
"I guess after the movie is released, Huang Feng will become the most popular child star in China."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He thought so too.
Huang Tianlin asked, "You won't let him suffer a loss, right?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I have seen every contract he has, and his mother has also seen it. I dare not say that he has received the best treatment, but he will definitely not suffer a loss."
When Huang Tianlin heard this, he seemed to believe it directly and nodded.
"No, I just said that, you believed it?" Lu Yanhe said, "Then what do you ask, I can just fool you."
"You won't." Huang Tianlin said, "You don't need to do this."
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, isn’t he just trying to convince people with virtue?
One or two trust his character so much.
-
If Lu Yanhe's mentality is as stable as a rock and he has no extra worries, then Lu Yanhe can't help but be nervous when the screening of "Rainy Season".
The former is a work that Lu Yanhe thinks is "must succeed", while the latter is a real new work of new people. I don't know what kind of evaluation and feedback you will get.
As soon as the movie begins, Huang Feng's side face is on.
In the completely silent image, Lu Yanhe was sitting on the floor with his shirtless against the wall, holding a book in his hand, reading.
The afternoon sun cuts in from outside the window.
It is the dry feeling that only occurs in tropical areas.
Lu Yanhe is thin and dark, but still handsome, with a little lazy and unruly look.
A kind of handsomeness and wildness with a bit of sharpness.
Huang Feng asked him a question from time to time.
He basically answered one word or two words, and he didn't seem very patient.
Such a shot becomes the opening of the movie.
Information of directors, producers, etc. emerges one after another.
…
Lu Yanhe was surprised by his appearance on the screen.
He actually didn't recognize himself.
There is a very different image from him and in other movies.
From the image, I have completely become a local teenager.
When the opening of the movie passed, a girl shouted at him sounded outside.
He immediately threw the book on the ground and got up to put on his clothes. "Where are you going?" Huang Feng asked childishly. "You stay at home." Lu Yanhe threw down his words and left.
Huang Feng showed a disappointed and disappointed expression, and came to the window and saw the scene of his brother and a girl leaving.
His eyes were innocent and innocent.
That's how the movie begins.
-
Sitting in the dark screening hall, Lu Yanhe felt the story along with the light and shadow.
Even if this is a story where he knows the plot development, he is completely immersed in it.
Huang Tianlin's lens language has a very Southeast Asian feeling.
The viewing angle is very small, the picture is very clean, the soundtrack is almost gone, but it also has a summer wind chime feeling, which pops up from time to time to tease you, like the wind, like a dragonfly flying under the eaves.
Lu Yanhe had always felt that Huang Tianlin's shooting rhythm and picture style were very similar to Wong Kar-wai, but at this moment, Lu Yanhe felt that in fact, his overall temperament of the movie was more like Yukazu Koreed.
It’s just that the lens language is more like Wong Kar-wai.
The plot of the movie is actually very simple, but through the perspective of a child like Huang Feng, many things have changed. Many things, such as an quarrel or a few simple words, become a huge thing when it comes to Huang Feng.
The movie captures every subtle and sensitive reaction of Huang Feng. Therefore, the mother's hard work at home, the brother's desire for the outside world, and the uneasiness that seems to collapse at any time under the pretense of this family is invisibly amplified.
After the movie was played for an hour, Lu Yanhe was very surprised to find something.
Why do he have so many shots?
Lu Yanhe knew very clearly that his two most important scenes, one of the quarrels with his mother, being slapped in the face, and the other of leaving this family, had not even appeared yet.
There are many short shots in front of which are only one or two seconds cut in by Huang Tianlin.
There is no shot in itself, but because Huang Tianlin always puts it in front of Huang Feng's reaction lens, his reaction in each shot suddenly has a different story and meaning.
Huang Feng's shot gives Lu Yanhe a lot of things to have.
What impressed Lu Yanhe the most was the contradictory mentality of the young man's rejection and attachment to this family.
He must say that when he was acting, at least in many of the shots, he was not showing this state, but when edited by Huang Tianlin, he suddenly had a thematic meaning.
The subsequent quarrel with his mother, his silent communication with his younger brother that night, and his farewell to the family alone, were suddenly elevated to a different level.
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect most was that after he left this house, the movie only had the last scene.
An afternoon with calm and sunny sunshine in the room.
Huang Feng asked his brother where he went.
Mom said she was going outside.
Huang Feng asked his brother when he would be back.
Mom said he will come back when you grow up a little.
Huang Feng stood in front of the window and looked at the place at the opening of the movie. He saw the girl he had met with his brother before looking at their house.
He greeted her in surprise.
She turned around and ran away as if she was frightened.
Huang Feng was a little puzzled.
Mom asked who are you saying hello to.
Huang Feng shook his head and said nothing.
He walked into his room again.
Before he walked in, the camera gave his mother a virtual scene.
Mom raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, and her movements were very light.
It seems like you are wiping your tears, but the information is not so clear.
Huang Feng did not see it.
He walked to the front of the wall with numbers marked by his and his brother.
He turned his back to his back, recorded a position with his hands, and then turned to look.
The position where the hand landed this time was a little higher than the last time it was recorded.
He laughed.
The movie ends here.
Finish.
A gentle music sounded.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.
Huang Tianlin made great cuts to the script, especially the second half of the script.
However, this makes the movie simpler and the emotions expressed are more concentrated.
This is the growth, confusion, and changes of an ordinary family.
There is no preaching expression, nor any forced contemporary and social significance.
However, after Lu Yanhe finished reading it, he felt a slight stagnation deep in his heart.
It was because he thought of a lot of his childhood, and at the same time, he felt a helplessness between people.
Leave, stay, be close, alienate, quarrel, reconcile...
"Tropical Rainy Season" actually expresses the most subtle emotional changes between people.
Lu Yanhe was particularly moved by the fact that Huang Tianlin did not use this movie to try to talk about the so-called pain and hatred of the original family, and too many movies talk about this.
He did not accuse a teenager of leaving home for anger, nor did he accuse a mother of not knowing how to communicate with her children and dealing with her irrational way. He used a way of clearly "separated and left" to talk about the emotional result of "they are still family members".
Even if the brother did not come back in the movie, just like Huang Feng finally held expectations and believed that his brother would come back soon, as an audience member, I believe that his brother would come back.
Just like people grow.
The applause from the surroundings surged like a tide.
Lu Yanhe stood up, picked up Huang Feng directly, turned around, and faced everyone.
The applause in the audience behind him became even more intense.
Lu Yanhe turned to see Huang Tianlin. This young director who had been very arrogant since the first meeting, his eyes were red and he was secretly wiping his eyes.

Hope there will be another update tonight! (This chapter ends)
