"It tastes good, and I'll bring Siqi to eat when I look back." Lu Yanhe put down his fork, wiped his mouth, and added some wine to his cups and Chen Ziyan. "I'll drink so much tonight, right? Although I can rest tomorrow, can you?"
Chen Ziyan smiled and waved her hand, "This little wine is nothing."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe knew that Chen Ziyan could drink more than him.
Chen Ziyan said: "This time Situer's gains were indeed beyond expectations, but it also caused a huge change in the situation. Just as you said, although you reached the peak before, it was a temporary peak. After this time Situer, you really reached the peak. The history of Chinese films cannot avoid your name."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Many times, in an industry, there are only a few of the most dazzling names. The film industry is a little special. It is an industry with great attention and public attributes. It seems that many people are celebrities. However, the torrent of time will not tolerate them because of this. As decades pass, just like the waves washing sand, few people's names can stay.
In fact, Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou are already leaving behind prominent actors in film history.
But that's not enough, it's different. Some people leave their reputation in film history, while others make that period of film history become important.
Why does Chen Ziyan hope that Lu Yanhe will take the international route? Even though the Chinese film market has flourished and no longer has to explore the international market, it still coincides with Lu Yanhe and actively contacts international film resources.
Because the Chinese market has been further ahead, the domestic market has been opened and started to be made. Whether it is the cultural communication value of films to the country or the driving force for the expansion of the film industry itself, Chinese films have reached the point of "going overseas".
If "going to sea" in the past was more to win "honor and recognition" internationally, now "going to sea" is more like a natural behavior that is "natural".
Chen Ziyan believes that the history of Chinese films has been written here, and it is definitely not just that the box office of her own single market has begun to be over. So in such a new stage, who is the representative figure of this stage?
She has far-reaching considerations about Lu Yanhe's career plan-
This consideration is so far-reaching that she doesn't even dare to say too much or too detailed to Lu Yanhe.
Because it is not necessary.
Also because actors need to maintain purity.
Agents should look at the general trend, and actors should keep their true intentions. This is also the best partnership.
"However, I really didn't expect Deng Xiaoyuan to get pregnant suddenly." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "I didn't expect you to insist that Deng Xiaoyuan continue to stay in the crew."
"When you can have the best of both worlds, of course, it is better to have the best of both worlds." Lu Yanhe said, "Actually, Chen Yin and the others must have thought of a solution, they just want to use this to see my attitude."
"Oh, I've grown up, then tell me, what do they want to see your attitude?"
"Although Deng Xiaoyuan was not selected directly by me, they all think that Deng Xiaoyuan has something to do with me. After all, she has acted in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" together. If she is personal reasons, she may have delayed the crew's filming. What will I do?" Lu Yanhe said, "Yu Public, it is convenient for them to weigh the attitude towards those who are related to me in the next project. In private, they are also constantly confirming whether I am the one they know. It has not changed. Because I have changed, many of their things will also change. They are all top managers, working hard in the workplace, handling subordinates, and scheming their superiors. They all have the ability to move with the wind, presenting the most and most accepting way in front of me."
"I'll go--" Chen Ziyan widened her eyes in amazement, "You can do this with insight into people's hearts."
Lu Yanhe: "Do you think I have made great progress?"
"You have made more than just making great progress, you have made more progress." Chen Ziyan said, "But forget it, I understand you, don't listen to you being so old-fashioned now, as if you have seen the rules of the operation of this world. In fact, when you should be naive, you will still be naive."
Lu Yanhe laughed.
He admitted that Chen Ziyan was right.
Chen Ziyan put down her napkin, "I'll go to the bathroom."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
Chen Ziyan came to the bathroom and met Zhang Yuezhen on a narrow road in front of the bathroom.
She paused for a moment, then slowed down without changing her face, and glanced at Zhang Yuezhen from the mirror.
Just so happened that at this time, Zhang Yuezhen also looked at her from the mirror.
The eyes of the two people were intertwined.
They actually had never had a head-on deal, but it was amazing. At this moment, Chen Ziyan felt that she and Zhang Yuezhen had a flow of heart.
This flow of heart—
It's like a sense of déjà 'I know you know what I'm thinking, you know I know what you're thinking.
Chen Ziyan walked into the bathroom.
She could feel that Zhang Yue really looked after her back with a faint look.
Almost three minutes later, Chen Ziyan came out and there was no Zhang Yuezhen in front of the sink.
-
"Master, we will definitely have more projects to cooperate in in the future. At that time, don't think I'm annoyed, and always disturb you."
Zhang Yuezhen smiled and sent Shen Tailin into the car. She was considerate and careful. When Shen Tailin got in the car, she raised her hand and gently blocked her head for him.
Shen Tailin took the opportunity to hold Zhang Yuezhen's hand and said with a smile: "How come I think you are annoyed?"
He patted it lightly and let it go.
Zhang Yuezhen's expression remained unchanged and said, "Next week, I will bring my newly signed actress to ask you for your attention, and I hope Xu Tai will give her more opportunities."
Shen Tailin smiled and hung his hand on his thigh.
Zhang Yue really pressed his hand gently, "Then let's say that."
She gently patted Shen Tailin's back, straightened her waist, closed the car door gently with a smile, and took a step back.
She kept smiling and waiting for the driver to drive away, turn around, and leave her sight before she turned around.
-
"Zou Dong is already on the way here." Lu Yanhe asked, "Sister Zi Yan, what should I do with your car? Otherwise, we will send you back first and let your assistant pick up your car tomorrow."
Chen Ziyan had drunk alcohol and could not drive.
"Okay." Chen Ziyan nodded.
"The weather is actually suitable for a walk after dinner and taking a walk." Lu Yanhe looked at the night view outside the window. Although this area is prosperous, there is a green area downstairs for people nearby to take a leisurely walk. "I feel like I am older, and I never had the urge to go for a walk before."
Chen Ziyan smiled and said, "You are only twenty-four years old, and you are not yet twenty-five years old, right? Don't talk like this. In front of me, a really old person, you can't listen to such words at all."
Lu Yanhe: "Why do I feel like I have been through so long for half of my life?"
"Because you are at a time of aging, old-fashioned age," said Chen Ziyan. "One is adolescence, and the other is the process of people feeling that they are getting older quickly. Of course, when you really get older, you will know how ridiculous the illusion was at that time."
Lu Yanhe: "I really feel that I have experienced a lot."
"I admit that you have experienced a lot." Chen Ziyan nodded, "But you have experienced all good things. You really have suffered hardships ahead and ate early enough, so you can still enjoy the future happiness at a young age. So, you are lucky. Many people have suffered a lot of hardships. When life gets better, they are no longer so energetic to enjoy the most youthful joy. When you get older, you are different. How great it is."
"I actually want to be stupid sometimes, but I can't be stupid."
"It's okay to be stupid and happy, it's really stupid to be stupid and sad."
"Hahaha." Lu Yanhe laughed.
"Dongdong!" Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe were both a little surprised.
Their small private room has already been served, and logically, the waiter will not knock on the door and come in again.
As a result, the next second, Zhang Yuezhen opened the door and appeared at the door.
Her eyes were as calm as the autumn lake.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan were caught off guard by this scene.
"What a coincidence, I met you here." Zhang Yuezhen smiled slightly, "Since I met you, why not chat?"
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan looked at each other.
Lu Yanhe quickly received Chen Ziyan's intention.
Chen Ziyan is looking at what he means.
Lu Yanhe was a little confused for a moment and was not sure how he should face Zhang Yuezhen.
He was not mentally prepared.
But the reality is that he cannot tolerate much thinking.
If you keep not talking and don’t respond, forget about anything else. Lu Yanhe doesn’t want Zhang Yue to feel afraid of her.
Lu Yanhe smiled, not deliberately making the wind and clouds light, but instead minded like a thorn in his throat, but there was no hatred or strong emotions.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Yanhe looked directly at Zhang Yuezhen and asked.
Zhang Yuezhen: "I think there are many things we can talk about, at least on some key issues, we can reach an agreement."
Lu Yanhe: "I have nothing to agree with you."
"It doesn't matter if someone knows that you are an illegitimate child?" Zhang Yuezhen suddenly stepped in.
Lu Yanhe asked back: "Is there any difference for me? Have I established a complete family personality for myself?"
Chen Ziyan asked back: "Do you mean Chen Pinhe when talking about these things today? Does he know your actions?"
Zhang Yuezhen paused and curled the corners of her mouth.
"So that's the case." She said, "You want to talk to him?"
"I don't want to talk to anyone." Lu Yanhe said to Chen Ziyan, "Sister Ziyan, our car is coming soon, let's go out."
It was strange that Lu Yanhe had not figured out what to do at the beginning, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Yanhe thought it out.
It’s not that you don’t talk too much, but that you don’t have to talk.
There was no possibility of reconciliation from the beginning. It was not a reconciliation, but a possibility of sitting together and discussing carefully from the beginning.
When Chen Ziyan heard Lu Yanhe say this, she nodded and said to Zhang Yuezhen: "You should understand what we mean?"
Zhang Yuezhen pulled the corners of her mouth.
She suddenly took out a cigarette box from her handbag, took out an exquisite lady's cigarette from it, ignited it, took a sip, and a faint smoke floated out of her mouth.
She glanced at Lu Yanhe like a silent fox and smiled softly.
He said nothing and left.
Lu Yanhe sat in his original position expressionlessly.
Chen Ziyan: "You were very cool just now."
"Not cool enough." Lu Yanhe said softly, "It should be cooler, she caught me off guard."
"It's okay, Yan He, don't look at her like she looks like she feels uncomfortable." Chen Ziyan said firmly, her tone had an unquestionable meaning.
Not only that, Chen Ziyan also nodded to Lu Yanhe solemnly.
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but look at her like this and lowered his head and smiled.
"We are still at the dining table, Sister Zi Yan."
"It's already finished." Chen Ziyan said, "And, I guess you want to vomit when you see her, so you don't have the word "better."
Lu Yanhe: "What do you think she is coming to us? "
"Is it important?" Chen Ziyan asked.
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and shook his head, "It doesn't matter."
Chen Ziyan: "As long as you know the answers to the two questions, nothing she wants to say is important."
"What two questions?"
"Do you mind your true relationship with Chen Pinhe being exposed?"
"Mind."
"But are you willing to compromise and reach an agreement with him in this regard in order to prevent this relationship from being exposed?"
"I don't want to."
"That's all." Chen Ziyan nodded, "Don't worry, we won't mention the first question, let alone the first question. It's exposed that we are not the one who has lost our reputation. The second question is, since you don't want to, there is no basis for talking to them. Anyway, it's just a matter of doing it."
Lu Yanhe: "Yeah."
-
April is the best time for Yuming.
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the sun is more abundant than rain.
Lu Yanhe is very glad that he had a fake at such a time and didn’t have to film.
He arrived at the headquarters of "Jump Up" and spent his small holiday quietly in this sparsely populated new development zone, without going anywhere.
Li Zhibai is already doing the training for "Burning Live" and Yan Liang is also going to film.
During the day, when Chen Siqi goes to work, Lu Yanhe sometimes goes to the company yard to sit and bask in the sun, but most of the time he stays in the house here, writing scripts, modifying scripts, and reading scripts.
Lu Yanhe basically has video conferences with others every day, and is usually a producer or director. At home and abroad, many people want to find him if they have projects, especially well-known directors who have filmed well-known works, will contact him in a row and not go through many obstacles such as agents and communicate in person.
Lu Yanhe is really reading a lot of scripts now.
The result is that there are many scripts. After he turned it down for various reasons, he knew that they were not performing the production funds and would invest 200,000 to 500,000 US dollars in his own name.
This is certainly not much for a commercial film. But for an independent film, that's not a small amount.
Lu Yanhe also met many producers and directors because of this, and they all became friends because of this kind of contact.
In the middle, Liu Bigo came and talked to him about the shooting of the movie "Dingfeng No. 1".
Bigo Liu has been preparing for this spy war movie for almost two or three years, and finally it will start filming this year, just after Lu Yanhe finished filming the second part of "The Mist".
With the mediation of Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan, Longyan Film, which originally positioned "Dingfeng No. 1" as a commercial spy film, decided to give Liu Bige the greatest autonomy. After all, Bigo Liu also used "Late Spring" and "Fake Death" to prove his influence in top international film festivals. Two consecutive films were shortlisted for the main competition unit, which is enough to show his own directorial ability and the connections behind him, allowing him to continue to follow the path of international film festivals.
"Dingfeng No. 1" can completely continue to follow the path of "export".
"Fake Death" has just been released less than a year ago, and its overseas copyright revenue has exceeded 200 million yuan, which is even higher than the movie's box office revenue in domestic theaters-
What Chen Ziyan and Huang Tai said were fully fulfilled.
Bigo Liu can make money from film manufacturers around the world. But if he becomes a pure commercial director, that wouldn't work. The profit logic of commercial and artistic films is different.
Under Liu Bigo's final adjustment, Lu Yanhe discovered that the whole story of "Dingfeng No. 1" actually tends to the style of "Tuber, Tailor, Soldier, Spy".
Depressed, serious, depressed, like a mouthful of water slowly licking the heated fire.
But the story of the script itself is still wonderful, and the content of the script is a story of "finding spies".
Lu Yanhe plays the person who wants to catch a spy, while the other male lead Wen Shengming plays the spy.
In this movie, there are many rivalry scenes between the two.
This is also the relationship between Lu Yanhe and a super acting actor and two male leads after "The Road to Glory", and it is also a show-off.
Lu Yanhe is quite excited and looks forward to it.
As a result, Liu Bige said to Lu Yanhe: "Wen Shengming made a request."
"Ah? What are the requirements?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Liu Bigo was a little embarrassed, but said: "He hopes that no matter whether you have a show or not, he can have breakfast with him every morning at 7 o'clock."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
"Ah?"
What kind of weird request is this?
Liu Bigo: "I'm also very confused, but when I asked him, he didn't explain."
-
Wen Shengming's status in the domestic film and television industry is transcendent.
He has never won any international awards. He has won several domestic actors and TV bests, but it is definitely not the most, and it may not even be even Chen Pinhe.
However, in this case, his status still does not affect.
Even though Chen Pinhe and Shang Yongzhou are recognized as actors in the entertainment industry and are the top actors, they must be ranked among them, and the final sorting result must be Wen Shengming ahead of them, because he is really the top actor who has been popular since his previous generation, and is really popular to the current top actor.
His influence has truly connected all ages in the industry.
Even Luo Yuzhong is the junior who has to take the initiative to say hello in front of him—
There is no way, Wen Shengming became famous too early and got the best actor too early. He is not of the same generation as the group of middle-aged actors who are active in the entertainment industry now.
Luo Yuzhong, the current mainstay of Luo Yuzhong, is like Lu Yanhe facing Luo Yuzhong, Chen Lingling and others. No matter how awesome he is now, he will definitely be respectful in front of them because he has received support and favors from others.
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher Wen Shengming has this requirement? No other requirement?"
Liu Bigo shook his head.
"No."
Lu Yanhe was silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Liu Bige also scratched his ears and heads.
Of course he knew that such things were actually unreasonable. Lu Yanhe is not a newcomer, and he can be kneaded by an old senior like this.
To be honest, if it weren't for the person who made this request, Liu Bige would not have told Lu Yanhe about this matter at all, so he would have refused directly.
Lu Yanhe said: "If it's just this requirement, then there's no problem, I can."
Isn’t it just that I get up early every day to have breakfast with Wen Shengming.
Liu Bigo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yan He, thank you."
But he is really sorry. Because of Wen Shengming's request for unknown reasons, Lu Yanhe actually had no need to agree to it.
"It's okay." Lu Yanhe said, "It's not a big deal. Moreover, although I have never dealt with Teacher Wen, I think since he made such a request, he should have his ideas. Even if he doesn't, I'll just get up early, which is nothing."
Looking back, Lu Yanhe told Chen Ziyan about Wen Shengming's request.
Chen Ziyan: "I didn't remind you in advance that he has this habit of filming. Many times he acts, he will find a fulcrum with his co-stars outside the play."
"Puclear point?"
"Yeah." Chen Ziyan said, "He is the kind of actor who can communicate with you by using his character status."
The legendary actor Daniel Day Lewis immediately appeared in Lu Yanhe's mind.
He is also an actor who can live in the state of characters after the show.
Until the movie is finished.
He kept himself in his state and not coming out.
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "But, what does this have to do with him having breakfast with me?"
Chen Ziyan said: "I don't know, but you just follow him. The actors who have worked with him will often be stimulated by him to perform the best."
When Lu Yanhe heard Chen Ziyan say this, his eyes lit up instantly.
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that Wang Chong actually came in less than two days.
Wang Chong brought a script.
He said this was a script he wrote in Citur. That night, Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige drank too much in his room, and the look of drunkenness in the room gave him stimulation and inspiration, so he wrote a script called "Happiness and Joy".
Lu Yanhe had known about the existence of this script for a long time, but he had never seen it because Wang Chong had not written it well before and refused to show it to him.
Wang Chong gave him the script and said, "I want to find you and Chen Bige to play, you two."
Lu Yanhe took the script into his hands with some confusion, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Director, what are my sister Bi Ge and I playing?"
"Don't worry, there is no intimate scene." Wang Chong said, "a platonic spiritual love."
Lu Yanhe was surprised.
"Chen Bige is an actress who just ended her painful marriage. She was famous in the past, but now she is out of date. You are a playwright who has just entered the entertainment industry. You have created a script and were attracted by a troupe. You want to adapt it into a stage play. She is the heroine in your mind."
Wang Chong briefly told this story.
"During the rehearsal, you discussed the script and the relationship between the characters, and gradually penetrated into the other person's heart. However, if you have a girlfriend, you realize that your feelings for her gradually began to change from simple love, and she also released a strong feeling to you."
"In the middle, of course, you and her almost broke the fire several times, but each time they were interrupted by accident, but every time they came to an abrupt end, the fire in the hearts of both of you burned even more violently. You took advantage of every suitable opportunity to enjoy the cooperative relationship in front of everyone, until the troupe suddenly stopped rehearsing the play."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
"Then, the fire between the two of you was suddenly poured into a basin of cold water." Wang Chong said, "She woke up from her dream of becoming popular again and lost her temper with the troupe and you. You suspected that her past closeness to you was actually for you to help her change the script, change the lines, and even increase the role. The two of you had a fierce quarrel."
Lu Yanhe frowned when he heard this.
This story—
What do you want to say?
Wang Chong: "Then, as the production of this stage play stopped, the passion and fire of the two of you were extinguished."
Lu Yanhe looked confused.
"Director, what exactly is this movie about?"
"Talk about the illusion of love."
"I may have to read the script to understand something. I just heard your description, and I didn't understand this level," said Lu Yanhe.
Wang Key.
Lu Yanhe started to read the script directly.
Wang Chong didn't leave, but sat next to him, waiting for Lu Yanhe to finish reading the script.
-
Wang rewrites the script and has a very big feature.
There will be a lot of symbolic pictures and some lines that are particularly worth pondering.
However, the biggest feature of his script is that at first glance, it looks cloudy and mist, making people confused and even missing.
The character of Lu Yanhe in "Three Mountains" has no origin or path. He said something mysterious and requires combining it with other parts of the movie to understand the philosophy and destiny.
The same is true for this script.
To be honest, the quality of the script is much better than what Wang Chong said himself.
What the movie is actually talking about is not that.
This is what two narcissistic personalities see in each other their ideal and successful life, and they are attracted to each other and hit it off. The man actually disliked his girlfriend who had been with him when he was poor, and the woman hated her ex-husband for taking away the best time and making her angry.
These two people are not bad people, but the script is full of analysis of their human nature. Every line and every story develops, both of them envelop their deep ambitions, selfishness and great desires with seemingly passionate actions.
However, Lu Yanhe still doesn't like it very much.
Because these two characters have no "cuteness".
"Director, this script is really well written. I heard you tell me just now. I am very confused about why you wrote such a bloody and clichéd story." Lu Yanhe said, "If you show the script to the actors in the future, why don't you briefly describe it first."
Wang Chong: “…”
Wang Chong: "I'm that bad?"
"I was even wondering how to find an excuse to reject your drama." Lu Yanhe said bluntly.
Wang Chong's face was also quite wonderful, as if he had never been commented on by other actors.
"But, director, I can see now that this script is very good, especially the description of these two characters, which is very meticulous. The entire script criticizes these two people too incisively, but precisely because of this, I can't find the fulcrum for playing this character." Lu Yanhe said, "It's not because of his essential selfishness, arrogance and frivolous nature, but my ability as an actor."
Wang Chong said: "How can you have problems with your acting ability?"
"No, I'm serious," Lu Yanhe said. "Because my emotional logic and behavioral logic cannot truly impart this kind of person. The whole process of reading the script is to read it as a literary work, rather than an actor who has taken it into a role. When I read other scripts, I was not in this state."
Wang Chong fell into deep thought.
Lu Yanhe said bluntly: "It's not that I don't want to play, but that I play a role without the impulse of performing. I don't have the confidence to play a role well. So far, I can actually empathize with every character I play when reading the script or when I act. Even in "Three Mountains", I feel that another soul has entered my body. I willingly let this soul temporarily dominate my body, but I don't feel like this."
Wang Chong didn't say anything.
Lu Yanhe: "Have Sister Bi Ge read this script?"
"She hasn't, I want to look for you first." Wang Chong said, "Because I just wrote this script not long ago, I also want to hear your opinions on this script."
"The script is very good." Lu Yanhe said, "To be honest, if this script is handed over to two actors who are really good at acting and can win these two roles, I believe it can become a classic. It has been a long time since our Chinese-language movies have not had such a film that is not true, good and beautiful as the protagonist. After reading the script, I really hope that I can have the desire to perform for this role. I know that he is a good character, and I really want to act in this movie rationally."
Wang Chong: "Then don't you think about trying it?"
Lu Yanhe asked: "I actually want to think about it, but because I am facing you, I still want to express my true thoughts as soon as possible."
"I basically wrote this script as you and Chen Bige." Wang Chong said, "I didn't expect that you two would jump and jump there after drinking too much. When I was very bored, I would think of such a story."
"Because there is no love between Sister Bige and I, but in your experience, in fact, the actions of Sister Bige and I that night were something that only a couple and a couple would do, and you really annoyed us that night." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "So, such a story was born."
"Maybe you're right." Wang Chong said, "I really rarely write such scripts."
Lu Yanhe understood what he meant.
Not to mention the scripts written by Wang Chong before, at least they have some gloomy spirit, and the feeling of a fog covering some places.
But this script is actually very European literature from the 19th century. Irony, criticism, full of analysis of hypocritical human nature.
Lu Yanhe said: "If you want to seek better advice from the director of this script, I think you can ask the professors of the School of Literature to see it. Although it is very modern, its core is actually very academic, and its core is also about the analysis and criticism of characters."
-
Some movies are a big deal for actors, such as "The Road to Glory", where the book is placed here. As long as the actors can fully understand the script and characters, they can basically perform well.
Some movies are good, but they are thankless for actors.
What Lu Yanhe didn't tell Wang Chong was that he certainly felt that he had the ability to play this role well, at least Lu Yanhe didn't think he could not play the arrogance and narcissism presented in the script.
However, the problem is that he doesn't feel that he can play the role well to a certain extent.
According to his understanding, if it cannot reach a certain level and is just mediocre, it will actually destroy the intention of the script.
This is a movie that has sufficient richness at the level of play, but still relies heavily on actors to perform.
As a result, Wang Chong asked when he left, "If you don't think about it anymore, I'll ask someone else. In fact, Chen Pinhe's wife had asked me some time ago and wanted to cooperate."
Lu Yanhe's mind thudded.
"Director, wait a moment!" He immediately grabbed Wang Chong.
Wang Chong looked at him with some confusion.
Lu Yanhe's mind thud, not only because he heard the name Chen Pinhe, but for a moment, he suddenly found the key to enter this character as if he had opened an apocalypse.
"I want to give it a try." (The end of this chapter)
