Become famous another day.

This is true for both Lu Yanhe and Wen Shengming, not to mention the other actors.

No matter how much they were tormented and tortured by Liu Bigo, or how annoyed they felt like turning into a cat and scratching Liu Bigo's face with their claws, in the end, they all listened obediently to Liu Bigo's arrangements, or in other words, they had to undergo NGs and reshoots by Liu Bigo again and again to get a shot that Liu Bigo could say "pass".

The situation within the crew of Dingfeng No. 1 gradually spread.

The crew members are all in this industry. They signed a confidentiality agreement and did not say much to the media reporters, but their friends around them would talk about it more or less.

This is just like when you are involved in a highly watched project in your company. There will definitely be many friends and colleagues in this field who will ask you about some situations. It may not be confidential, but it is normal for them to just want to hear some odd bits and pieces of gossip.

The "furious" scene between Lu Yanhe and Wen Shengming and Liu Bige on the set naturally leaked some news.
-
"Did something go wrong during the filming of Dingfeng No. 1?"

When these words reached the ears of Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang, their first reaction was whether the film could be shot smoothly.

"No, the filming is still going on smoothly. It's just that Director Liu always makes NGs and reshoots a scene he's not satisfied with, so the progress is a bit behind schedule." Someone from the company said, "Based on the current situation, it may be overdue."

Huang Tai sighed, "This Liu Bige."

"But, you just said that Lu Yanhe also had a conflict with Liu Bige?" Mrs. Huang changed the subject and asked again.

The people in the company nodded, "They even started fighting on the set. After filming a scene, Lu Yanhe just left and stopped filming."

Mrs. Huang was very surprised.

"Why didn't you tell us about this right away?"

"Because Liu Bige told the producer that everything was fine, Lu Yanhe did come to the crew the next day."

Mrs. Huang fell into deep thought.

"Okay, you go down."

After the people from the company left, Mrs. Huang turned to look at Mr. Huang.

"What do you think?"

Mr. Huang said, "Just wait and see. It's normal to have conflicts during filming."

Mrs. Huang: "Lu Yanhe now runs his own film company. The relationship between him and Liu Bige has always made me worry that Lu Yanhe will poach Liu Bige."

Mr. Huang shook his head, "No."

"Won't?"

"Linghe is a company that develops film and television projects entirely with Lu Yanhe as the main focus." Mr. Huang said, "What they are doing now are basically Lu Yanhe's own projects."

"Who knows what his future plans are," said Mrs. Huang. "Look at his actions in Hollywood. Except for Buried, all of his projects are worth tens of millions of dollars. They are no longer his small projects in Linghe."

"Liu Bige is not the type of director who makes blockbuster films," said Mr. Huang. "He didn't want to make films in Longyan, so does he want to make films in Lu Yanhe? After Dingfeng No. 1 is finished, help him set up his own production company. We will invest in it but won't interfere with his production."

Mrs. Huang was very surprised.

"So fast?"

"In fact, we should have done this after 'Fake Death'," said Mr. Huang. "He signed a 10-year exclusive director contract with us, and it has been almost six years. When 'Feng Hao No. 1' is finished and released, it will probably be the seventh or eighth year. With his current position in the industry and past achievements, he will not be allowed to continue to be tied to us as a personal director."

Mrs. Huang: "If we hadn't given him the opportunity to star in his first play——"

"You gave him a chance, which can be a favor or a grudge." Mr. Huang interrupted Mrs. Huang, "Lu Yanhe has helped so many people, but when has he ever used favors to justify his actions? When Xin Zixing wanted to return to Yemai.com, he generously agreed and announced plans to continue cooperating with Yemai.com. When his high school classmate Bai Yu was poached and no longer worked as an editor at Jump Up, he also took the initiative to repost Bai Yu's Weibo post to express his blessings."

Mrs. Huang said, "Doesn't this show that he is stupid? If he does this, everyone around him will be able to leave whenever they want."

Mr. Huang smiled and said, "But look at him, how many people around him have left? And no matter what he does, is there always a group of people helping him?"

Mrs. Huang was stunned.

"Love Letter, his first directorial work, had a production budget of less than 20 million, but he invited Chen Bige to star in it, Luo Yuzhong to be his producer, and Liu Bige to be his director of photography. When it was released, the series of marketing plans, do you think Chen Siqi did it all by himself? In the end, the box office exceeded 1 billion, and others said it was a miracle. Do you think it was a miracle?"

Mrs. Huang was silent.

“We certainly can’t do projects without caring about costs or returns like Lu Yanhe did, but for a unique director like Liu Bige, an author-type director, we should treat him with the utmost respect and support.

"He can choose to cooperate with us or with others, but why wouldn't he cooperate with a company he has cooperated with many times, as long as the company continues to support him."

Mrs. Huang was silent for a moment.

She has been active in the film and television industry for so many years. She is not a superficial fool who can only stand on the shoulders of the giant Longyan and enjoy the things brought by success in a domineering manner.

She is the founder of the huge company Longyan, and is an expert in company management and in understanding people's hearts. But sometimes, she has the misconception that "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in the mountain".

After being reminded by her husband, she actually realized that Liu Bige is indeed different now and can no longer be treated lightly, and she can no longer regard herself as a "benefactor".

If you regard yourself as a "benefactor", you will only end up as an "enemy".

Too many things have taught us this lesson.

Mrs. Huang was actually very clear about it.
-
"It wasn't a real quarrel, we just had an argument." After receiving Chen Ziyan's call, Lu Yanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that even Chen Ziyan had heard some rumors and called to inquire.

Lu Yanhe said: "He was just stimulating me and helping me find my state. I also deliberately cursed at him a few times to find my mood."

Chen Ziyan: "Now everyone in the industry is talking about it. It's been a long time since we heard that you had a conflict with the director during filming. Many people called to ask what happened."

"Well, that's how things are," Lu Yanhe said. "It's just a quarrel, it spreads quickly."

“Fortunately, no video of the scene was circulated, otherwise it would probably have become a hot topic.” Chen Ziyan smiled.

Lu Yanhe: "The crew management of Dingfeng No. 1 is quite strict. In order to prevent the plot from being revealed, all staff members are not allowed to bring mobile phones into the set."

"No wonder." Chen Ziyan said, "Then take good pictures."
-
"Okay, Cut!"

As soon as the director said "cut", Li Zhibai stood up.

"Director, how is it? Can it pass?"

The director was a little surprised to see Li Zhibai so anxious, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Zhibai: "Nothing, just waiting to finish work."

director:"……"

Li Zhibai chuckled.

In this movie, Xiao Yun plays the second female lead, a classmate of Shen Jiayi who has a good relationship with her and later becomes an Internet celebrity.

Xiao Yun glanced at Li Zhibai and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to finish work? Do you secretly have a girlfriend?"

Li Zhibai immediately made a few "Puh-Puh" sounds and said, "Yan Liang is here. Wait for me to go find him for dinner."

"Oh, it turns out it's not the girlfriend who's here, but the boyfriend." Xiao Yun immediately exchanged a glance with Yan Lingyu. The two girls understood what he meant and looked at Li Zhibai with teasing eyes.

Li Zhibai: "..."

He immediately rolled his eyes at them. A group of people, all very young, gathered together to film, and it was very lively every day.

Not to mention the male and female protagonists in this movie, the second male lead Li Yuefeng and the second female lead Xiao Yun are both popular stars, and their fans are not necessarily inferior to those of the protagonists.

This is very rare for a movie about youth love.

It can be said that this is a youth love-themed movie starring four popular first-line stars.

However, because this was the script written by Lu Yanhe, Li Yuefeng and Xiao Yunlai played supporting roles, and their agents and agency had no say in the matter.

After all, Lu Yanhe's movies either win awards at international film festivals or are box office hits, which only has a blessing effect on the actors.

Li Yuefeng filmed "Raise the Red Lantern" with Chen Bige, but he only played a cameo role. As a result, he not only went to the Xitul Film Festival with the crew, but also won the Xitul Film Festival's highest award to his acting resume.

Not to mention Xiao Yun. They started working together in "Young Days", followed by "Phoenix Tower", and then "Wulin Waijia". The role of Guo Furong made her famous overnight.

It is only natural for them to act in the film, both publicly and privately, and both emotionally and logically.

The director looked at the shot just taken, nodded, and called out.

Li Zhibai quickly packed up his things, called it a day and left.

"He's in such a hurry, he won't really--" Xiao Yun looked at Li Zhibai's back and clicked his tongue twice.

When Li Yuefeng heard this, he rolled his eyes speechlessly.

These girls always have those things in their minds.
-
After Li Zhibai rushed back to the hotel where he was staying, he sent a message to Yan Liang: Where have you been?

Yan Liang: I just got on the high-speed train and will arrive in the early morning. Didn’t I tell you yesterday?

Li Zhibai: Oh, okay, no problem, just ask, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.

Yan Liang: Yeah.

Li Zhibai put down his phone, sent his assistants away, and hurried to the door of his room.

The door opened as soon as the room card was swiped.

He immediately closed the door, and then shouted, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, I'm back."

Comrade Xiao Jiang's voice came from the bathroom.

"Wait a minute, I'm taking a shower."

Li Zhibai walked into the room and saw some women's clothes and bras scattered on the bed.

He suddenly became distracted and restless.

He sat down on a chair, legs apart, and scratched his head.
-
After Yan Liang got on the high-speed train, he did not take off his sunglasses or hat immediately. He found a seat and sat down. His assistant and bodyguard sat next to him, just booking the entire row of seats.

He opened the laptop he carried with him and clicked on a document on the desktop.

This is a script he received recently.

Yan Liang put on headphones and read the script carefully.

After reading about two episodes, he lost interest.

Close and open another document.

It's another script.

There are a lot of scripts sent to Yan Liang now.

Yan Liang basically reads the script every day.

For many scripts, it is actually enough to just watch the first and second episodes to get a good idea of ​​the tone of the entire story.

Yan Liang used to be not very confident in his own judgment, but as he participated in more and more projects, he gradually developed his own judgment criteria.

Don't look at the characters, but look at the story——

It's not about looking at the actor's perspective to see if there's a role that makes him want to create and if there's space for creation, but rather whether the story itself is interesting and whether people want to continue watching it.

This is the major premise. Once the major premise is in place, we can then see if there is room for performance in this role.

However, Lu Yanhe told him to watch more action movies.

So, Yan Liang now also started reading action movie scripts.

However, reading the script of this kind of movie made him a little confused. Because he didn't know how to read it——

The scripts of action movies are often very simple and often very clichéd.

Yan Liang did not have the ability to distinguish which one was good and which one was bad.

Yan Liang never encountered another movie script like "Dragon Inn".

He even specifically looked for some martial arts novels to read, to see if there were any that impressed him. He wanted to follow the example of Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai and become a producer himself to develop a project. However, the copyrights of the novels he was interested in were either sold or had development problems.

Although the number of novels on this subject is decreasing, they are still very popular in the field of film and television adaptation and there is no sign of them being "unpopular".

While reading the script, Yan Liang was taking notes and recording some of his thoughts.

Suddenly, Zhou Ping'an called him.

"Where are you?" Zhou Ping'an asked, "When will you return to Yuming?"

"I'm off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Don't I have any work arrangements? I'm here to see Li Zhibai." Yan Liang said, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Pingan: "Shijin is preparing to make a big-budget movie. Come back quickly and we will try to get this project!"

Yan Liang was stunned. "What big-budget movie?"

"It's a big IP, a top IP of the Xianxia genre, 'Ten Miles of Flowers'." Zhou Ping'an said, "Shi Jin wants to spend 300 million to make this movie, and he wants to find a top production team in the industry to make it. If you can get this cake, you will step into the film industry, especially... Shi Jin will definitely give priority to you in future film resources."

Upon hearing this, Yan Liang frowned.

"Isn't "Ten Miles of Flowers" a female love story?" he asked.

Zhou Pingan said, "Yes, but do you mind this? Although "Ten Miles of Flowers" is a fairy-tale love story, do you know how many fans it has? The hero of this story has been one of the top three male protagonists in novels selected by readers for many years. If you play this role, your popularity will go up a level."

Yan Liang immediately laughed at himself: "It could also be that I was scolded to a higher level."

The more fans a romantic hero has, the more likely he or she will be scolded. Unless you are really suitable for the role and they feel you fit the role, like a paper man walking out of the book, then OK, you will be a hit.

Zhou Pingan: "This project is Shi Jin's first big project after entering the entertainment industry. You should know what I mean, right?"
