Chapter 310: Afraid of a fart (8,000 words update, ask for a monthly pass!) )
In this line of work, it is rare to have any news tightly covered and completely covered the wind.
An actor like Lu Yanhe, who is in the limelight, has attracted much attention in the industry. His schedule is the information that all film and television companies want to grasp at one hand.
However, major companies have sent a large number of scripts to his company in the past six months, but almost all of them have been politely rejected by his agent.
This makes film and television companies and platforms very helpless.
However, with Lu Yanhe's current market, it is normal for such a situation to occur.
Winner of the Golden Tripod Award, a big drama with a rating of 2, although the popularity is inferior, the popularity is comparable to the top stream, the acting skills are highly recognized, the personal image is at the top, and the social evaluation is extremely high...... These buffs are superimposed on Lu Yanhe's body, making Lu Yanhe a unique existence in the entertainment industry.
And his status as a screenwriter has given him a more special position in the entertainment industry. Sending him a script is one thing, after the broadcast of "Six People", many film and television companies even came to him to make appointments with projects.
As many people know, Lu Yanhe has two projects in preparation.
One is a sitcom like "Six".
One is a "battle royale" drama like "Seventeen Floors".
What about the latter, we have to look at the broadcast effect of "Seventeen Floors" first.
The former has become the fat meat that is targeted by larger film and television companies, and wants to snatch it into their own hands.
For this, many people want to meet Lu Yanhe. It's just that Lu Yanhe is too difficult to contact, and he still has to go around to find Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan also released a little rumor, about the cooperation of this drama, the most interested partner is Northern Lights Video, people have given very favorable conditions, and Lu Yanhe is focusing on cooperating with Northern Lights Video.
Lu Yanhe's movements have spread all over the industry, especially traditional TV stations, which want to replicate the ratings miracle of "Six People" in Beijing and Taiwan.
Therefore, as soon as I heard that Lu Yanhe's primary consideration was the Northern Lights video, I was not angry but happy.
They are not as greedy as Jingtai - in fact, after "Six", the sitcom written by Lu Yanhe will definitely not be able to do only a drama with an average cost of 5 million yuan like "Six", it must be the top treatment, with a rating of 2%, even the production cost of 200000000000000000 yuan for an episode is not high.
"Six" has been rebroadcast on Beijing TV for no less than 30 rounds, and each round of broadcast is millions of advertising revenue.
And this trend can continue to continue, after all, "Six" has not yet been launched on the video platform, and if you want to watch "Six", you must watch it on Jingtai.
Therefore, the replay rate of "Six" in Beijing is extremely high, driving the ratings in a unique way, and even the ratings of the 7 o'clock in the morning are higher than the ratings of the prime time that night - of course, this situation has only happened once, which is a miracle that cannot be replicated, but nevertheless, it is enough to prove the appeal of "Six".
In this case, other TV stations understand very well that Lu Yanhe's new drama will definitely not be able to get it if it does not cost the top price in the industry. But if it is only broadcast exclusively on TV stations like "Six", there is no distribution of video platforms and risk sharing, once the ratings are not ideal, it will be a blood loss, and hundreds of millions may sink directly into the sea. For this reason, after analysis, they no longer have the dream of exclusive TV broadcasting.
Now everyone knows that "Six People's Walk" can be broadcast exclusively in Beijing and Taiwan, and that is because this drama is invested and produced by Beijing and Taiwan itself, and the cost is low. They don't have this kind of "right time, right place and right people" conditions.
Chen Ziyan contacted Lu Yanhe, and several first-line TV stations contacted them to discuss cooperation in new dramas.
At this time, Lu Yanhe definitely can't take Qiao.
He said: "Sister Ziyan, you can help me talk, just say that I am filming and going to school, I really can't spare time, whichever one comes up with the best cooperation plan, we will cooperate with whichever one." ”
Chen Ziyan: "They will all send at least the director level to talk to us, don't you want to take this opportunity to get to know them?" Getting to know them will also be of great benefit to you. Later, whether you are acting by yourself or writing other works, you have to deal with them a lot. ”
"I'm not in a hurry at this time, Sister Ziyan, the main thing is that I am present, you also know that I don't know about this, I am easy to show timidity, I still see the truth and the truth, and I don't necessarily give such high conditions." Lu Yanhe himself has already made an analysis, "You have full authority to deal with these things on my behalf, and when the time comes, you really need to have a place to turn around, and it can be said that I am not satisfied, and they can't say anything, on the contrary, if I appear with you, they will really be able to see that I am all relying on you." ”
Lu Yanhe's analysis made Chen Ziyan sigh with emotion - Lu Yanhe has only been around for two or three years, and he is about to leave the school.
He was almost too rational in his self-knowledge. If there are any, Chen Ziyan is embarrassed to say it because of her feelings, but Lu Yanhe can think of this layer by himself. Actually, Chen Ziyan didn't want Lu Yanhe to come forward right away - the reason why she came to ask Lu Yanhe was because compared to this matter, Chen Ziyan felt that it was more important not to let her have a bad misunderstanding between Lu Yanhe.
If she didn't ask Lu Yanhe and directly took matters into her own hands to make the decision for Lu Yanhe, when the time came, someone would say something to Lu Yanhe to sow discord, maybe it would cast a shadow on the relationship between her and Lu Yanhe.
There are not a few agents in the circle who keep artists in the dark and grab additional benefits by themselves.
Chen Ziyan is not such an agent, and cannot be mistaken for such an agent.
The former is a matter of character, and the latter is a matter of sophistication.
When Chen Ziyan communicated with various partners about cooperation matters, she also released some recent information about Lu Yanhe in a timely manner.
So, the news that Lu Yanhe took over the filming of a literary film directed by a newcomer slowly spread.
Lu Yanhe is going to make such a movie at this stage, just like when he went to shoot "Six", from the perspective of public opinion, there must be more negative than positive.
There is no way, the domestic film and television market is like this. Film and television projects are graded, and actors are also graded. If Lu Yanhe is a newly popular actor like Yan Liang, it is a good thing that he takes over a movie like "Twilight Spring", and it is a TV series actor who transforms like a movie actor, everyone will encourage and be optimistic. However, he is Lu Yanhe, and he is no longer a newcomer who has just become popular, he should appear in the works of big productions or famous directors, not in the literary films directed by newcomers.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yanhe had just come up with a "Six" that slapped everyone's face, as soon as this news came out, negative comments would definitely come up like a tide for the first time.
But because of "Six", this not-so-good-looking discussion only circulates in a small area.
-
He Yingzi was worried about the fact that the Red River Award did not nominate Lang Xia, and after hearing the news, her eyes rolled and she immediately went to inquire about this movie.
"Newcomer? Literary films? It's true? After He Yingzi heard about it, she couldn't understand it, "No, right?" ”
But the other party said conclusively, "It's true, it's confirmed." ”
He Yingzi almost burst out laughing.
"What is Chen Ziyan doing? actually gave Lu Yanhe this kind of movie? He Yingzi's tone couldn't hide the ridicule, "Can't she give Lu Yanhe a better movie?" With so many big-budget movies in China, with Lu Yanhe's current market, it won't be his turn, right? ”
"Maybe I want to win the prize."
"Winning the prize? If you want to make a big director's film to win the award, how can you make a new director's film to win the award. He Yingzi shook his head and sighed, "A faint move." ”
"What group is Lang Xia going to enter behind?"
"Director Fu Kai is preparing a new movie, and there is a male number three suitable for Lang Xia, and I am talking to them." He Yingzi said, "It's still starring Shang Yongzhou, and there are many people who rob it, and I'm still trying to figure out how to fight for it." ”
"Shang Yongzhou? Isn't he Lu Yanhe's senior brother? Why didn't Lu Yanhe play this role? ”
"You have less crow's mouth, let me tell you, it's best if Lu Yanhe doesn't act." He Yingzi immediately said, "Moreover, what kind of senior brother is this, how could Shang Yongzhou be willing to let Lu Yanhe act in a movie with him, Lu Yanhe is now so strong, maybe it will threaten Shang Yongzhou's status in a few years." ”
"Threatening Shang Yongzhou's position? You're exaggerating too much. ”
"Don't take it seriously, if Lu Yanhe is just an actor, forget it, he is still a screenwriter who has written a big hit, and when these two identities are superimposed, his influence in the film and television industry is not just as big as an actor."
Although He Yingzi hates Lu Yanhe as a competitor, she must also admit that Lu Yanhe is threatening, in a sense, He Yingzi has even given up the idea of letting Lang Xia compete with Lu Yanhe, because the two of them are no longer on the same track.
"However, this matter can be put to good use." He Yingzi said.
-
After class, Lu Yanhe put on his schoolbag and did not go back to the dormitory or to the library, but went outside the school, got in the car, and went to Shang Yongzhou's appointment.
Chen Ziyan said: "I also suddenly received a call from Shang Yongzhou, they said that they wanted to meet you, I guess it was the film project behind him and Fu Kai, who wanted to find you to star together." ”
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "Huh? ”
Chen Ziyan: "Do you remember Fu Kai?" is the director of "Fun in Time". ”
Lu Yanhe nodded, "I remember, I just didn't expect that they would suddenly come to me." ”
Chen Ziyan: "It's not strange that they will come to you, it's strange if they don't look for you, which film project doesn't want to look for you now." ”
"Is there a script?"
"Yes." Chen Ziyan nodded, "I learned about the situation, in this script, the role I want you to play is a male number three, but the role is quite sufficient, not a tool role, they also said that if you are willing to act, you can readjust the script and increase the role of your line a little more, so that your character role is more important." ”
Lu Yanhe: "What type of movie?" ”
"As far as I know, it's similar to "Timely Fun", about a man who was diagnosed with a terminal illness and decided to make up for his regrets before he died, and the drama, the character you played, is a cousin of Shang Yongzhou, because he is in college, so he happened to live with him during the holidays, and he embarked on this journey of making up for regrets together." Chen Ziyan said.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Ziyan: "You don't have to worry about the schedule, you can't shoot this year, and it's going to be filmed next year, and now you're preparing, if you act, the script will have to be adjusted." ”
Before, Lu Yanhe encountered things several times, and Shang Yongzhou stood up to help him when he needed it, and gave him great support.
Regardless of whether Lu Yanhe acts in this play or not, he will definitely go to meet and talk about this role seriously.
This is the respect that must be given to Shang Yongzhou.
Moreover, putting this aside, just because of Chen Ziyan's relationship, Lu Yanhe could not directly reject it as an ordinary cooperation.
The box office of "Timely Fun" is very good, and Fu Kai and Shang Yongzhou continue to cooperate with this movie, which is also a common operation in the industry.
Especially the relationship between directors and actors - many directors like to use actors they have worked with, because they know each other well and trust each other.
Just like Chen Lingling, as soon as she has a role suitable for Lu Yanhe, she will immediately come to Lu Yanhe's schedule.
They met at a restaurant.
It's time for lunch.
"Hey, director, brother, long time no see."
"I haven't congratulated you in person for such a good result."
"When is there a celebration?" Shang Yongzhou laughed and joked.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries before sitting down.
"You've just finished class?" Shang Yongzhou saw Lu Yanhe put down his schoolbag and asked.
"Hmm." Lu Yanhe nodded, "I'm hungry." ”
"Let's eat first." Shang Yongzhou immediately said, "Chat while eating." ”
"Well, I feel like I can eat a cow right now."
"You'll always be a giant on your mouth." Chen Ziyan had no choice but to complain.
Fu Kai and Shang Yongzhou immediately laughed.
When the dish was served, everyone ate it.
Chen Ziyan said to Shang Yongzhou: "I'm still curious, how can you take a play like "Come on, big star"? Is the filming finished? ”
"After the filming, there is no way, the producer helped me a lot before, and came to me to play this script, and I communicated repeatedly for a long time in the middle, although I knew that this film was filmed, it was estimated that the scolding was not small, and it couldn't be pushed away." Shang Yongzhou was a little helpless, "I just hope the box office is a little better, don't be too ugly." ”
"The box office will not be bad, but with your current status to make this kind of noisy light comedy, it may cause many people to be uncomfortable." Chen Ziyan said, "Everyone is used to your tall image. ”
"In that case, making this movie is not a bad thing, at least let everyone know that I am actually an ordinary person." Shang Yongzhou said, "Another one, now I can basically only receive these homogeneous plays, there are not so many good books, most of them look very brainless, and the better scripts are all the types of characters that have been played, and they can't bring up the freshness." ”
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he heard Shang Yongzhou say this.
He didn't expect that even Shang Yongzhou wouldn't be able to receive a good script, and he was worried about a good script.
Shang Yongzhou suddenly remembered something, looked at Lu Yanhe, and said, "I heard that you also write movie scripts?" ”
"Ah, yes." Lu Yanhe was eating shrimp, so he quickly chewed it and swallowed it.
"When will I help your brother write a script?" Shang Yongzhou said.
Lu Yanhe nodded well.
Chen Ziyan glanced at Shang Yongzhou and said, "You are less Meng Xiaolu, you have so many projects at hand, don't fool him into writing you a script, you don't have time to get it, waste his energy." ”
Shang Yongzhou showed a complaining expression, "Look, you only know how to protect Xiao Lu now, not me." ”
Chen Ziyan: "You have to maintain a fart, there are a bunch of actor trophies in the house, and everyone is begging you to film." ”
She squeezed back sharply.
Fu Kai was so happy that he lowered his head and smiled.
As he spoke, he came to today's topic, the "Road to Glory" they were preparing.
"That's a big name." Chen Ziyan couldn't help but sigh.
Fu Kai smiled and nodded.
"Indeed, though, we thought about it for a long time and decided that the name was the most suitable."
"Jiang Ying's character, at the beginning, was cynical, over-eyed, and had a big temper, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have gone home during the summer vacation, and he had to go to his cousin's house to live." Fu Kai said, "As a result, he also made trouble at his cousin's house, and took the girl he just met to his cousin's house to make love, and when he was pulled by his cousin as a driver, he was also reluctant, until he was threatened, he complained all the way to accompany him on the road, which along the way, when he accompanied his cousin to make up for the regrets in his life, his mentality was also touched by these past events, slowly affected, and slowly changed." ”
Fu Kai briefly described the role of looking for Lu Yanhe.
"If this movie embodies the four words 'make up for regrets' from the actor's body, then from the role of Jiang Ying, it embodies the four words of 'avoiding regrets', one is to trace life back, and the other is to pursue life forward." Fu Kai said, "If you are willing to act, I will adjust the script in this direction." ”
After listening to Fu Kai talk about this character, he nodded.
This kind of story seems to be a very classic movie about "life perception", in other words, a chicken soup-type story, a healing movie.
But in other words, this is also a subject that is about to be filmed.
There have been too many movies like this in the past.
Lu Yanhe had his own judgment almost instantly, so for such a story, you have to see how the script is written.
If the script is well written, then such a movie and such a role are worth playing.
But if the script is not well written, very vulgar, and very ordinary, then it is estimated that it tastes like chewing wax.
Of course, Lu Yanhe has watched Fu Kai's "Timely Fun" and knows that this type of story is his forte.
Lu Yanhe is quite optimistic about this.
The script should be good.
Shang Yongzhou added: "This film will still be shot at the rhythm of commercial films. ”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
For the same story, commercial films and literary films are shot in completely different ways, and the effects are completely different.
The reason why Shang Yongzhou suddenly added such a sentence at this time is because Fu Kai's narration just now makes this story sound very much like a very classic and orthodox art film, about humanistic care and growth and transformation.
He is reminding Lu Yanhe not to misunderstand this movie.
Lu Yanhe said: "I like the movie "Fun in Time" very much, and it is a great honor to be invited by you to participate in this movie, but because I haven't seen the script yet, I can't just agree to say that I am willing to act." ”
Chen Ziyan smiled and continued: "He must read the script before making a decision." ”
Fu Kai nodded, "Of course, we understand, this is our current latest version of the script, you can take a look at it first, but in this version, Jiang Ying's role is a bit less, we didn't give him this growth line at the beginning, just used him as a borrowed cousin to create some conflicts and jokes with the male protagonist in the early stage of the movie." ”
Lu Yanhe took the script and read the first few pages carefully.
Reading that the actor Mo Wen was ready to embark on a journey to make up for his regrets, Lu Yanhe knew that in the original script, it was the actor Mo Wen's friend who took on the role of driver, not his cousin Jiang Ying.
No wonder they said that Jiang Ying was only the male number three before.
-
This is a typical, classic narrative movie script.
Very well written.
If the film is an exam, according to the standard answer, the script of this movie can score at least eighty points.
Lu Yanhe was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he wanted to act.
How to put it, this movie doesn't have that urge to act very much.
From this character alone, it is a very unattractive character for Lu Yanhe.
In the early stage, he did a lot of bastard things and had a short temper, but he was influenced by his cousin in the later stage, showing his kind and soft side.
Such a character turn is, of course, a growth and a metamorphosis...... However, it's too normal. Lu Yanhe thought to himself, he was not even as attractive to Yao Yu'an, who had not changed before and after in "The Golden Age". To be precise, it is the charm of the character itself that does not attract him much.
The drama of this movie is actually all on Mo Wen played by Shang Yongzhou. There were several heavy scenes behind him, and Lu Yanhe was moved just by reading the script. The kind of inability to face the past of life, the precipice of facing the future of life, the complex emotions that cannot be described in words are blocked in Lu Yanhe's heart.
He is just a twenty-one-year-old young man, but he can also be moved and infected by this emotion.
And the young cousin in his twenties in the script couldn't impress and infect him.
-
As soon as Lu Yanhe told Liu Bige about his hesitation and confusion, Liu Bige immediately said, "Don't make a decision for the time being." ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"Wait until they send you the changed script." Liu Bige said, "Oral stories are always just plots, movies are not plots, why are you moved by those parts of Mo Wen when you read the script?" It's because he already has a complete emotional point, but your character, according to Fu Kai, the really key parts haven't been written yet, it's all made up by your own brain, of course, it can't move you. ”
Lu Yanhe said: "Will there be any changes? The role that came to me to play, the character context has been told to me. ”
"Of course there are changes, if you think about it, the same thing, in Gui Youguang's pen, it is 'there is a loquat tree in the court, and it was planted by my wife in the year of her death, and now it is like a cover', and in Su Shi's pen, it is 'ten years of life and death, not thinking, unforgettable', but in the pen of more people, there is actually only one sentence 'I miss her very much'." Liu Bige said, "You have already seen that this book is a classic narrative script, which means that it is a literary and humanistic movie, you don't see the specific script, and even you don't see the final cut movie, just listening to the story, it is absolutely impossible to judge objectively, and the movie is never a story." ”
Liu Bige's words made Lu Yanhe fall into deep thought.
-
Fortunately, "The Road to Glory" does not need Lu Yanhe to make a decision immediately, they will also revise a script for Lu Yanhe first, and Lu Yanhe can read it before making a decision.
However, Liu Bige's words brought Lu Yanhe's thinking far beyond Lu Yanhe's expectations.
After several days, Lu Yanhe was thinking about the classic narrative.
In a sense, "Golden Age" and "Phoenix Terrace" are classic narratives, while "Seventeen Floors" is a non-classic narrative with attractive themes and visuals, which does not completely follow the narrative structure of beginning and end, let alone "Three Mountains", its authorship characteristics are too obvious, and its influence style has gone beyond the structure of the narrative, which is a dream like a stream of consciousness.
Looking back, the scripts of "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "Rouge Buckle" and "People in Embarrassment" are typical classic narratives. It's just that there are differences in characters, backgrounds, and styles.
The movies that he was able to write scripts on his own at this stage turned out to be all stories from classic narratives.
It's not because the threshold for classic narratives is low, so they can be written, but because classic narratives are classic enough, so people with low levels can learn from them.
Lu Yanhe was devastated.
He originally thought that he was indeed a little talented in writing scripts, but now it seems that he is still just because he has a gold mine, so no matter how he tosses it, what he tosses out is just gold.
Liu Bige has been meeting with Lu Yanhe almost every day in the past few days.
He could see that Lu Yanhe was in a bad mood these days, but he didn't know what was wrong with him.
But every time he talked about "Twilight Spring", Liu Bige found that Lu Yanhe rarely gave his opinions.
Before, Lu Yanhe was a person who often gave opinions.
"Are you already so satisfied with 'Twilight'?" Liu Bige asked.
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment, looking at him at a loss.
Liu Bige said: "I don't think you have any opinions now, isn't there always some new ideas in every discussion before?" ”
"I don't know if I'm right or not." Lu Yanhe said, "Moreover, the script itself is already very good. ”
"There is no such thing as a script that is very good, and it will always get better and better the more you change." Liu Bige said, "Moreover, you put forward opinions and ideas on the script from the perspective of an actor, I really want to hear it, there are always different things to see from different perspectives." ”
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Liu Bige stretched out his hand in front of him and waved.
"What a daze."
Lu Yanhe came back to his senses, "Oh, no, it's not in a daze. ”
"What's that?"
"I ...... I was wondering if I had what it took to be a screenwriter. Lu Yanhe said.
Liu Bige frowned slightly.
"Who told you that the script of "Six" was not well written?"
Lu Yanhe: "Almost." ”
There is no way to explain his situation.
Liu Bige: "Don't care what those people say, let me tell you, don't say anything else, if you can write a script in its entirety and get the audience's liking, there are already more than 99% of screenwriters, everyone has their own aesthetics, and they will be bound by their own prejudices, don't care about those voices, what is good or not, you will only know if you write it is good or not, if you don't write it, you will never know whether you write it well or not." At least you've been liked by some people, no, it's liked by a lot of people, and that's the real proof. ”
Lu Yanhe asked: "Is "Twilight Spring" the first time you wrote a script? ”
"That's right." Liu Bige nodded, "There are also some people in the company who point fingers and want me to arrange a few more kiss scenes in the script, can I still take care of them?" They don't say it's more romantic, the audience will like it, I have a big head when I hear it, "Twilight Spring" is not a romantic story from the beginning, but many people hear that this script is the story of several adolescent teenagers and girls, and they immediately want to be crooked. ”
When Lu Yanhe heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh.
"Longyan is a company, many places are very good, but those who engage in script review are quite annoying, a group of people who have never written a script and don't understand a script point fingers at your script, one moment saying that it is from the perspective of the market, and the other time it is from the perspective of script creation, anyway, there are all kinds of sayings." Liu Bige said, "Sometimes I want to scold them, and if I have the ability, I will write a script myself." ”
"I sometimes really envy you who are very confident."
"I really don't understand sometimes, where do you get your lack of confidence?" Liu Bige looked at Lu Yanhe speechlessly, "You are not confident like this, do others still want to live?" ”
Lu Yanhe smiled, but had nothing to say.
But after communicating with Liu Bige, he pulled him out of that state of self-doubt.
There is nothing to doubt, the facts and results that follow will always tell him whether his ideas are right or wrong.
Didn't you say it before, the big deal is failure.
Failure is failure.
He was lying on the gold mine, and all that leaked through his fingers was golden sand, and he had the capital to make a comeback if he failed.
I'm afraid of a fart.

I'm still working overtime, so I'll sneak up and post it.
The brick mover asks for a monthly pass! (End of chapter)
