Chapter 718: Lu Yanhe, who can discuss the Dao

Lu Yanhe was confused.

what is the problem?

"Isn't it that now that I'm so awesome, no one will come to mess with me?"

He asked Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan didn't know what to say for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, she finally uttered two words.

"The little devil is difficult to deal with."

Lu Yanhe asked: "So, what's going on now? Even though he explained, people on the Internet said that I was not satisfied that my senior brother was the first and I was the second, and I was not satisfied that my senior brother's salary was higher than mine, so I deliberately refused to cooperate with the promotion of "Burning Fire". Long Yan was the victim, and I——"

Chen Ziyan: "Don't worry about Yongzhou. He will clarify this matter during the next roadshow. I have also made arrangements here."

Lu Yanhe was curious: "Sister Zi Yan, what did you arrange?"

Chen Ziyan said: "Now that Zhang Yang is gone, it's easy to deal with. We have been saving face and have not done anything to maintain face and harmony, but now we don't need it anymore."

Lu Yanhe was a little confused.

Soon, he found out about Chen Ziyan's arrangements.

An unnamed staff member of Longyan broke the news to the media that the relationship between Lu Yanhe and Longyan deteriorated during the promotion of the Jose-La Roche Film Festival. When Lu Yanhe was interviewed by the media, the media asked about other works (actually, they compared other works with "Burning Fire" and asked questions, not just asking an unrelated question), and Lu Yanhe answered. The publicity of Longyan was dissatisfied with Lu Yanhe's answer and believed that he should not mention other movies in the promotion schedule of "Burning Fire". Lu Yanhe was angry. To be honest, the schedule of the Jose-La Roche Film Festival was not required by the contract. Lu Yanhe's participation in the Jose-La Roche Film Festival did not ask Longyan to pay for his trip. Moreover, because of his participation, the Jose-La Roche Film Festival provided some promotional resources. Longyan really should not complain about Lu Yanhe for such a small matter.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the blame was directed at Zhang Yang.

Wasn’t it Zhang Yang who went to the Jose-La-Jacques Film Festival to promote “Burning”?
Longyan has reported the incident and there are photos.

Afterwards, netizens followed the clues and found the interview. And everyone also found that after the interview, Lu Yanhe did not appear in the promotion schedule of "Burning Fire" again, until this release, Lu Yanhe participated in the premiere, cooperated with overseas promotion, forwarded Weibo, recorded interview programs, etc. It seems that there is no problem with Long Yan and he is still promoting it.

Later on, Lu Yanhe never showed up again.

Some people said: Lu Yanhe was obviously angry, so he only completed the promotional schedule signed in the contract and refused to participate in any other events.

Some industry insiders also said: Zhang Yang from Longyan is really out of his mind. It has been so long since the incident happened, and Lu Yanhe's side has not mentioned the matter of Jose, and has been maintaining superficial harmony without making any response. But he jumped out to add fuel to the fire, and now what's happening is happening.

The box office of "Burning Fire" was not affected too much and remained within the normal trend range.

Later, at a roadshow, Shang Yongzhou answered this question when faced with a reporter's question about the ranking dispute.

"There won't be any dispute between Yan He and I over the ranking. If there is, it's because I asked him to choose and he asked me to choose. No one wants to be the first." Shang Yongzhou explained to Lu Yan He very firmly, "I think it would be unprofessional for any media to think that Lu Yan He is a person who cares about the ranking. For an actor like him, is the ranking important?"

Someone immediately asked another question.

"Then there's the recent news that Yan He didn't participate in the roadshow for "Burning Fire" because he was suspected of having a conflict with Long Yan. Is that true?"

The host interrupted immediately.

But at this time, director Wan Renhai raised the microphone.

"We are not the parties involved and cannot answer, but is there any problem that Yan He cannot participate in the roadshow?" Wanrenhai said, "It's not like the rest of us are dead, so Yan He is the only one who can do the roadshow. He has been filming this year and will soon join the crew to shoot another movie. He is one of the most cooperative and capable actors I know of to escort a movie. After working with him on "Burning Fire", I have a deep feeling that when he does anything, my first reaction is that he must have his reasons, and I support him very much."

Shang Yongzhou and Wanrenhai's responses caused an uproar on social media.

At the same time, many fans of Lu Yanhe began to criticize the official Weibo account of "Burning Fire" for "killing the goose that lays the eggs."

The most terrifying thing happened. Lu Yanhe’s fans did the opposite and made the entry #“Burning Fire” still a big hit at the box office without Lu Yanhe# a hot search.

The public who were unaware of the situation clicked in to take a look and felt sorry for Lu Yanhe.

——If Lu Yanhe hadn't joined, would you have dared to invest such a huge production cost to make "Burning Fire"?
——Isn’t it because Lu Yanhe’s international box office performance in recent years has been good enough that “Burning Fire” can be screened in nine places at the same time, which has attracted the interest of international film producers?
——The overseas publicity is basically centered around Lu Yanhe. It's not that I don't like Shang Yongzhou, I'm just being realistic. Shang Yongzhou's popularity overseas is really not high, and his audience are all art films. It's too exaggerated to say that Lu Yanhe alone can carry the overseas box office. You really don't understand Lu Yanhe's box office appeal after "The Mist", especially his appeal to the Asian community.

——If you have the guts, don’t promote Luyan River in Longyan anymore, and don’t use Luyan River as a publicity point.

——Lu Yanhe has been really decent enough. He hasn't stood up to say anything until now. The matter between him and Longyan Propaganda was really just a fuse. There are so many things you don't know. Longyan's typical businessman logic, they knew that Lu Yanhe was a good person, so they kept pressing him, thinking that Lu Yanhe would definitely give in. Now they find that they have shot themselves in the foot. Lu Yanhe refuses to give in.

Suddenly, after the box office of "Burning Fire" reached 24 billion, the downward trend of the box office exceeded expectations, as if the floodgates had been opened.
-
People, you must put your eggs in multiple baskets.

In the past few days, no matter how Long Yan tried to find Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan, Lu Yanhe just didn't respond or pay any attention.

The box office of "Burning Fire" was obviously affected by the negative public opinion. The box office, which was already coming to an end, showed a tendency to deflate prematurely. The degree of difficulty that Long Yan felt at this moment was beyond their imagination.

The current box office of "Burning Fire" is secondary. The key is that this is a series, a trilogy, with two more parts to come, but Lu Yanhe's contract has not been finalized yet.

The person in charge of this contract became Lu Yanhe's executive agent, Wang Biao.

However, this person refused to give in and refused to leak any information no matter how they did public relations.

Neither saying not to sign, nor saying to sign, just leave it alone and don't initiate negotiations on this matter.

This made Long Yan very painful.

However, Lu Yanhe was about to join the crew of another movie in Longyan, "Dingfeng No. 1".

All Wang Biao said was——

"Right now, Yan He is focusing all his attention on preparing for the new drama, so he has no time to think about participating in the subsequent performances of Burning Fire. Everything will be decided after Ding Feng No. 1 is finished."

Mrs. Huang was irritated by this young man.
-
Before becoming Lu Yanhe's assistant, Wang Biao was a person who tried to support himself by being an internet anchor.

The first time Lu Yanhe dealt with him was when he met him by chance, holding up his cell phone in a very familiar manner, and then became a "guest" in his live broadcast room.

Lu Yanhe had no doubt at all about Wang Biao's ability to deal with people in a unreasonable way.

The people in Longyan wanted to meet Lu Yanhe, but they had no chance at all. It was not until Lu Yanhe joined the crew of "Dingfeng No. 1" that they finally found the opportunity because it was their own company's drama.

Of course, although there are several of them, in fact, there is only one key person, Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang looked embarrassed.

Lu Yanhe nodded to them and said, "I asked my agent to tell you that I don't want to continue talking about Burning Fire before the filming of Dingfeng No. 1 is finished."

"Mr. Lu, I'm here to apologize to you." Zhang Yang said.

Lu Yanhe raised his eyebrows slightly, and the trace of the raise was so shallow that it seemed almost invisible.

Zhang Yang said solemnly: "Because of my incorrect expression, it caused a lot of negative public opinion, which had a great impact on the box office of "Burning Fire" and also had a negative impact on your image. I am deeply sorry."

Lu Yanhe looked at him without comment.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang continued, "I also feel really guilty. I hope I can do something to make up for this."

Lu Yanhe shook his head gently.

"Mr. Zhang, during the cooperation with Long Yan, I was just an actor from beginning to end, so I was only fulfilling my duties as an actor." He said, "The role of publicity in the film has nothing to do with me, you don't need to apologize to me."

Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and continued, "Boss Lu, we—"

"Boss Zhang, I told you, I'm an actor, not a boss." Lu Yanhe interrupted directly, his eyes swept over the people around Zhang Yang, smiled slightly, and said politely, "When you go back to apologize to Boss Huang and the others, I suggest you don't make such a fuss. Now I have to go discuss the script with the director. Goodbye."
-
"Longyan is a very large company. Zhang Yang is an old man who followed Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang to build the company in the early years. He has a lot of experience in Longyan, especially in charge of the publicity and public relations business of the company. He is the real power. He did not deal with you directly, but he became the fuse for you to get angry at Longyan. Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang may not hold him accountable for this matter. Of course, now that he has come to apologize, it must be that Longyan has put a lot of pressure on him."

Chen Ziyan analyzed it.

"You actually got one point right. If he came to apologize to you sincerely, he shouldn't have brought others with him. In fact, this is just a gesture, a gesture he showed to the people inside Longyan. He apologized, he took action, and you see, he insisted that it was a misunderstanding and refused to admit that he was targeting you, just to avoid leaving hidden dangers for himself."

Lu Yanhe: "As time goes by, I become the one who keeps pursuing misunderstandings?"

"That's not the point. The point is that you and Longyan have made it clear that you will cooperate in the future." Chen Ziyan said, "Longyan is actually sure of one thing. You and them have a mutually beneficial relationship. In China, there are only a handful of companies that can produce a big-budget movie like "Burning Fire". You have the upper hand now because of the sequel contract. They are being clamped down by you, but just like you want to shoot "Dingfeng No. 1" and cooperate with Liu Bige, OK, you can't get around Longyan."

"You're right." Lu Yanhe said, "They know that I am deliberately not lowering my stance. I know in my heart that I will not give up the "Burning Fire" series. Both sides know some bottom lines, so above the bottom line, our current game is more like a process."

Chen Ziyan: "Maybe they are using your series of actions as bargaining chips in your contract negotiations for the sequel. This is the key."

Lu Yanhe: "It's hard to break 3 billion at the box office of 'Burning Fire' now, but 2 billion has already exceeded expectations, and it's obviously a big profit. Plus the overseas box office performance of 'Burning Fire', they probably think I really want to offer a higher salary than my senior brother, so they use the ranking dispute to warn me?"

"Maybe," Chen Ziyan said, "But if they think we can still accept the same conditions for the first movie for the sequel, then they are overconfident. We can be said to have hit a jackpot by accident. Through this incident, we have made them realize your importance to the "Burning" series."

Lu Yanhe said: "In fact, the current box office slump of "Burning" may not be entirely affected by this incident. Such special effects blockbusters often reach a box office turning point, and then they will drop like an avalanche."

"The problem is that no one dares to say that." Chen Ziyan said, "Especially in terms of the overseas box office of Burning, you are undoubtedly the first selling point. The film distributor bought the film just for you. Now the box office performance is over 30 million US dollars, plus the few markets that have not yet been released, it may directly break the overseas box office record of Chinese-language films in the past five years, exceeding 50 million US dollars. It is also possible. This is also a big source of income for Longyan."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Sister Zi Yan, what price are you going to offer me for the sequel to "Burning Fire"?"

Chen Ziyan said: "The salary is one million less than Shang Yongzhou, but I get to enjoy 10% of the overseas revenue."

Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in surprise.

10%?

Isn't this a bit exaggerated?
He received 1200 million yuan in salary for the first film, and now the box office has exceeded 20 billion yuan. According to the contract, Longyan needs to pay Lu Yanhe another 500 million yuan in salary bonus. However, Lu Yanhe did not take any share.

Shang Yongzhou received 2000 million yuan in salary for the first film.

In the sequel, Shang Yongzhou's pay cannot decrease, it can only be higher than 2000 million.

Now, that means Lu Yanhe's salary is likely to reach more than 2000 million, plus 10% of the overseas revenue share -

"You are worth the price." Chen Ziyan said, "Without you, the overseas box office of the movie "Burning" would be minus one zero. I dare to say this to their faces, slamming the table, and they dare not refute it."

Lu Yanhe was thinking about his salary in Hollywood.

"Think about it, your salary in Hollywood has already reached five million dollars. If you star in a movie like the sequel to The Mist, it may even be close to ten million dollars. Even if Longyan pays you a higher salary, you are worth it."

Now, Lu Yanhe has been slow to comment on the contract for the sequel. In Longyan's eyes, this may not be due to his dissatisfaction with Longyan's early performance, but rather his dissatisfaction with the terms of the contract, and he is waiting for Longyan to make a new offer.

If this is the case, Zhang Yang's apology is understandable.

A box office-worthy movie like "Burning Fire" can bring in around 1 billion yuan in revenue for Longyan, which is still a huge profit even after deducting the costs.

Especially once this series starts IP development, from peripherals to licensing, there will be a huge gold mine waiting to be mined.

From Long Yan's perspective, were Lu Yanhe's series of actions just for Zhang Yang's attitude?

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

"That's fine. Let them know that they will have to pay the highest price for their mistakes. Only by making their hearts bleed can they learn a lesson and not dare to do such tricks again."

Chen Ziyan said, "Just keep them hanging. They are the ones who are anxious, not us."
-
"Are you okay?" Liu Bige asked Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"Nothing bad."

Liu Bigo sighed.

"Long Yan really handled this matter very badly."

They believed that what could impress Lu Yanhe was the core interests, so they didn't care what Lu Yanhe thought about their attitude.

Lu Yanhe shook his head.

"fine."

Fortunately, although "Dingfeng-1" is a film invested and produced by Longyan, the crew is Liu Bige's crew.

Lu Yanhe is familiar with most people.

During this period, Lu Yanhe was thinking about the script while dealing with the "Burning Fire" issue, and he often felt like the CPU in his head was about to burn out.

There are so many things to think about every day.

However, it seems that every time he shoots a scene, the things he experiences in real life and the emotional changes he experiences seem to be reflected in the characters and plots he plays, providing him with "divine help" in his performance.

Because, as it happens, this is also the state of his character in the movie.

The environment he faced, the things he dealt with, and the interpersonal relationships around him were all complicated. He remained calm, but was under tremendous pressure. He was almost always under a state of anxiety and pressure, but he couldn't let others see it.

In comparison, Teacher Wen Shengming seems much more normal.

He walked in and out of the set with ease, just like punching in for work, and greeted everyone warmly. Not only was he not arrogant at all, but there was also no sense of oppression.

Lu Yanhe could see very clearly that Wen Shengming's sense of oppression was different for different people!

Seeing this scene, he gritted his teeth even more.

day.

Knowing that Wen Shengming's stimulation would help his performance, Lu Yanhe now allowed himself to be stimulated by Wen Shengming.

This feeling is actually quite strange. Knowing that Wen Shengming did it on purpose, he not only "enjoyed it", but he even had a rebellious mentality of "if you have the ability, be more aggressive".

However, this is just a "war" between him and Wen Shengming.

In fact, no one else in the crew noticed it, except Liu Bige.

There are many actors and actresses participating in "Dingfeng No. 1".

This movie can be said to be a group portrait drama——

Similarly, it is conceivable that in the crew of the drama starring Lu Yanhe and Wen Shengming and directed by Liu Bige, other characters, even if they only have two lines, have great appeal to many well-known actors.

This meaning is just like the actors in the two dramas "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West".

You are not the protagonist, you are just a minor character, but the play has become a classic, and your role has also become a classic. Others don’t know you, but when they hear that you have played in this play, they all look up to you.

If "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" are classics tested by time, then "Dingfeng No. 1" is a classic predetermined by human beings.

This time, Longyan stuffed a lot of its own "connections" into the movie.

They are all actors who have long-term cooperative relationships with Longyan.

Of course, the "relatives" who could be squeezed into "Dingfeng No. 1" were different from the "relatives" sent in by the coal bosses.

At least from these names, there is nothing wrong with Lu Yanhe. They are all good actors with strength.
-
If a film crew is composed entirely of well-known actors, it is actually not a good thing, especially for the crew members.

Even if an actor is humble and friendly, like Lu Yanhe, in fact, for ordinary staff, there are still barriers between them.

It is impossible for everyone to move Lu Yanhe's scenes to the morning and evening just because he is easy to talk to, and make him wait for several hours in between.

It is impossible for everyone to be perfunctory about Wen Shengming's affairs just because he is a big shot who is easy to deal with.

Their presence means more work for the crew. The more famous actors like them there are, the greater the workload for the crew.

To give just one example, there are more situations where the crew has to arrange for the use of cars.

When a famous actor comes to act, even if it's just a few scenes, he should be treated accordingly. You can't ask him to take a bus and get on the bus with a bunch of staff members at a certain time to come to the set.

For Lu Yanhe, filming a movie often means meeting a lot of new people.

In his line of work, the circle is often closed.

Obviously, I met new people, but they are people in the same circle. I kept going around in circles in this circle.

However, Lu Yanhe is relatively better.

He has many identities and knows many people from different circles.

But as a popular star, no matter how many people you know, you can't have a normal social life.

In the past few years, or almost since graduating from college, he has never made any real friends.

There is really nothing we can do about it.

Fortunately, he has a group of high school classmates, including Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, and Chen Ziyan.

He has no shortage of true friends around him.

This is the most fortunate thing.

But here lies the problem -

Lu Yanhe didn't know whether he was influenced by this role and subconsciously became wary and cautious of everyone, or whether his own personality had changed and he gradually lost interest and enthusiasm in meeting new people.

At this stage, Lu Yanhe is a little uninterested in facing a new crew and meeting new people.

Disinterested.
-
The script reading session will last a total of four days.

Except for the first time they met, Lu Yanhe tried hard to mobilize his emotions and got to know and greet everyone enthusiastically. After that, he felt like his emotions were tied with a lead block, pulling him down uncontrollably.

As a screenwriter, Miao Yue also participated in the script reading session.

Even though he was his college classmate, he spoke less and during breaks, he basically just sat alone, not reading the script, but checking his phone and listening to music with headphones.

Everyone seemed to be in sync and no one disturbed him.

People who came to say hello to him usually came before or after the script reading session. Apart from that, during the long process, Lu Yanhe was almost completely alone.

Soon he realized that he must have been influenced by this character.

This character is a "loner" in himself, and because he has to monitor the deputy station chief, he becomes even more "isolated".

The more he understood the script and the role, the more he was influenced by it.

The intelligence station looks like a working place, but no one who works here knows whether there is a second layer of skin hidden beneath the first layer of skin.

Everyone knows secrets that are only known to their position, and work discipline requires that they must not be disclosed. In order to avoid suspicion, they often have very little contact with each other, or if they do have contact, it is done out of the sight of others.

On the surface, they are polite to each other, but in reality, they are on guard against each other.

When a person stays in an environment where there is absolutely no one he can trust, he will become a different person.

In other words, a lot of "human things" will be lost.

For example, outward emotions, such as happy emotions.
-
One morning, when Lu Yanhe was washing his face, he was shocked by himself in the mirror, because the look in his eyes had completely changed. There was not a bit of youthful heroism left, and instead, he looked as heavy as stagnant water.

How could this be?
Shouldn't this be the case?

He is not playing an "old fox", he is a young man. He is just playing a rather lonely, solitary and introverted young man. How could he have such a "seen a lot, still calm" look?

Lu Yanhe scooped up the cold water, splashed it on his face, and rubbed his face.

A burst of refreshing feeling spread throughout my body, like an enlightenment.

I can't allow myself to continue to be immersed in my previous emotions.
-
The spy film "Dingfeng No. 1" is similar to "The Lives of Others" to a large extent.

At the end of the movie, Lu Yanhe, the "villain" who finally found evidence, arrested and executed Wen Shengming, and was promoted, was shaken by what he experienced during the entire surveillance process. He eventually betrayed the intelligence station and chose to be an upright person and take the right path.

But the difference between this movie and "The Lives of Others" is that at the end of the film, the truth about the "Dingfeng-1" surveillance operation is finally revealed: Wen Shengming's "spy" identity was actually fabricated by the station chief as part of a political struggle to bring Wen Shengming down.

All the evidence about Wen Shengming being an "underground party member" was actually fabricated and framed by the stationmaster.

This was an "infighting within the intelligence station" that did not involve the real "underground party" at all.

The materials fabricated and framed by the webmaster were false, but the stimulation, shock and awakening it brought to Lu Yanhe were real. It was a young man who gained spiritual awakening and redemption from "internal strife" and chose to embark on the right path.
-
"People awaken because of progress, and they progress because of awakening." Miao Yue said, "In essence, Dingfeng No. 1 is a main theme, but I hope it can tell something that has not been told in past spy films, so I revised it several times and finally changed it to the current draft."

Lu Yanhe understood.

In conventional spy films, especially those with a main theme, there must be a righteous man lurking among a group of villains, and then, good will prevail over evil.

On this basis, "Dingfeng No. 1" uses the introduction of "political struggle" to fictionalize the image of a "righteous man". However, the existence of this fictional image of a "righteous man" itself gradually transforms a person who is numb at the beginning and only wants to preserve himself into a "righteous man".

To some extent, the essence of the story is about a man who saw a beam of light disguised as the sun in the darkness, and followed that light but actually walked towards the sun.

The irony of "disguise" itself and the purity of "chasing light" itself form a sharp contrast, making the irony more ironic and the purity more precious.
-
"So, you know exactly what you want. You are just repeatedly disguising what you want. This is not the look of an unawakened person."

Lu Yanhe looked at himself in the mirror and said softly.

"You are cautious, even timid. You have created an image of a place where strangers are not allowed to enter, just to keep a distance from these people in the intelligence station."

"You have not gone through a lot of things, and you have a killing determination in your heart. You are full of hesitation and anxiety. You are not unaware that the country is destroyed and the mountains and rivers are still there. You just put yourself in a shell and blinded yourself, not seeing the suffering and difficulties, not seeing the mountains and rivers. You don't have a cassock on you, and you only want to protect yourself in the world."

"You monitored the deputy station chief and reported his movements to him on time. From him, you learned why he behaved so strangely. But as you learned more about him, you began to waver in your heart. You began to think about why he did this."

……

Wang Biao became inexplicably nervous.

Because in the past two days, he began to hear Lu Yanhe talking to himself.

Not once or twice, or just for a short while, but over and over again, as if hypnotizing myself.

Lu Yanhe had never prepared for a role like this before.

Wang Biao had to quickly tell Chen Ziyan about this situation.

Chen Ziyan also came to the crew as soon as possible. She didn’t say anything else, just said she was here to take a look.

Lu Yanhe said nothing, did his own thing, and didn't hide anything.

Then, Chen Ziyan discovered that Lu Yanhe actually began to consciously change his walking posture.

Lu Yanhe's walking posture became less handsome.

He got himself a pair of glasses and wore them from time to time.

Liu Bige asked him if he wanted to wear glasses in the movie?
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "I just want to change my own personal habits."

There is actually a subtle difference in the eyes of people who wear glasses and those who don’t.

Lu Yanhe is now a person with a great sense of camera and star-like demeanor. His eyes are always bright and powerful. Even when he plays a person with dull eyes, he still has a cinematic feel.

He tried to eliminate the cinematic feeling in himself and to "blend in with the crowd."

At this moment, he was especially grateful to "Dingfeng No. 1" for reserving them half a month of preparation time to read the script, take history classes, and listen to people invited by the crew talk about the social background and customs of the time.

Lu Yanhe had plenty of time to transform himself physically and to refine his performance from a more understanding perspective.

He would even only look at his phone for a while and reply to messages after returning to the hotel. The rest of the time, he left his phone with Wang Biao.

Little by little, Lu Yanhe's changes were visible to the naked eye, and he almost became a different person.

His back is a little hunched, and he walks slightly leaning to one side. There are also subtle changes in the angle of his eyes and his micro-expressions when he looks at people.

Liu Bige said to Wen Shengming: "Teacher Wen, you see, this is why I don't want to discuss the specific character creation with him at the beginning."

Wen Shengming: "Don't you think his change now seems a bit deliberate? The audience is too familiar with him, so familiar with many of his reactions. In fact, 95% of them are natural, but in the eyes of the audience, because they are different from before, only 70% are left."

While others were amazed at Lu Yanhe's transformation of himself, Wen Shengming was not satisfied.

He always felt that it was unrealistic for an actor to completely transform into another person in terms of appearance and personal habits, especially for a superstar, an actor known by everyone, as this would definitely be distracting.

Liu Bige smiled and said, "Teacher Wen, you can believe me. He must have thought of what you said. He has never been an emotional actor. The current state is just a part of his transformation process."

Wen Shengming: “We went in the wrong direction.”

"Maybe it's not that the direction is wrong, but that we are heading in the same direction." Liu Bigo said softly.

Wen Shengming continued to watch with suspicion.

Then, the day of the launch arrived.

The first scene after filming is not the highlight, but a major process scene.

It is a set of shots in the movie that presents a panoramic view of the intelligence station.

The webmaster and deputy webmaster do not need to appear in this set of shots.

However, Wen Shengming still came to the scene.

He came not only to watch, but also to act with the actors.

——The deputy stationmaster was sitting in his office.

Lu Yanhe walked over.

His back was no longer hunched, he no longer walked with a tilt, and there were no glasses on his nose. At first glance, he looked like the original Lu Yanhe again.

However, after looking at him a few more times, I realized that although his back was no longer hunched and he walked with a slanted walk, the rhythm of his walking and the amplitude of his arm swing had changed, and his steps were not as firm and powerful.

At first glance, he was Lu Yanhe.

At second glance, he was not that Lu Yanhe.

Everyone around could see that Lu Yanhe was different again, but this time it was difficult for them to explain clearly why Lu Yanhe was different.

They could only see that Lu Yanhe's changes occurred in subtle places, causing his body language to appear as normal as possible, yet with a hint of "pretending to be normal" restraint.

Wen Shengming understood.

Lu Yanhe first transformed himself into another person completely - even though he was too famous and too familiar to the audience, so it was a forced imitation that could not be natural. Then, he abandoned everything and returned to his body, Lu Yanhe, but at this time, some things had already "remained" in him.

It is this “residue” that Lu Yanhe wants. Because it is a “residue”, it becomes “the nature that should not be natural”.

This "residue" also creates a situation between him and the audience where, at first glance, the audience thinks he is Lu Yanhe, but at second glance, the difference between this character and Lu Yanhe as a person is established based on the audience's feeling of "I don't know what's different".

The character presents a state of "a non-Lu Yanhe that the audience can identify with and believe in."

——Lu Yanhe is not an emotional actor.

——Different paths lead to the same destination.

Wen Shengming suddenly realized that Liu Bige was right.

This also made Wen Shengming feel at a loss at this moment.

Does an actor, such a young actor, not only have the ability to construct a role with rationality and sensibility, but also have the energy to objectively think about the interaction between this role and himself, the actor Lu Yanhe, and the presentation effect?

Before this, no matter how talented Lu Yanhe was, no matter how much he was praised, no matter how outstanding his performance was in the movie, for Wen Shengming:

— Are you the best actor? I have selected many best actor winners.
