Xiao Mo came to the nanny car carrying the incubator.

Liu Bo immediately glared at her, "Why are you so slow?"

Xiao Mo bowed his head and apologized.

"Bring it up quickly." Liu Bo gritted his teeth and took a breath of cold air.

Xiao Mo opened the thermal box and found it was full of ice cubes.

She put the ice cubes into a cloth bag and handed it to Liu Bo.

Seeing this, Liu Bo glared at her and said, "Do you still want me to apply it myself?"

Xiao Mo was stunned.

"What are you still standing there for? Apply it quickly, it hurts so much!" Liu Bo cursed.

Xiao Mo looked at Liu Bo, who was lying on his side in a strange position on the car seat. After hesitating for half a second, he took the ice pack and applied it to Liu Bo's waist in the posture of a worker.

The moment they touched, Liu Bo let out a scream like crowing.

Xiao Mo was startled.

Liu Bo: "Be gentle!"

Xiao Mo: "I, I just got hit——"

Liu Bo: "Forget it, hurry up, fuck, if I'm still like this when I'm filming, I'll be so embarrassed."

Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I ask for leave from the crew and go to the hospital."

Liu Bo was annoyed: "Ask for leave? What leave? Do you want the whole crew to laugh at me?"

Xiao Mo: "..."

She said: "If you just say that you twisted it accidentally when getting off the car, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Liu Bo: “…”

Xiao Mo: "Generally, people don't want to think about it that way."

Most people wouldn't do such a thing, she muttered silently in her heart.

Liu Bo: "...Then please ask for leave for me."

Xiao Mo nodded and turned away.

Liu Bo gasped again and had to pick up the ice pack and put it on his waist.

The sound of inhaling suddenly rose in volume, as if entering a cave.
-
"call--"

"Whoosh-"

"call--"

The sound of rapid and slow breathing came from the front.

It sounds like someone was injured.

Lu Yanhe walked over and took a look in surprise.

As a result, upon closer inspection, they discovered that no one was injured, but Zhou Ru was practicing his next scene.

In the next scene, Zhou Ruo was injured and shot, and she was practicing the panting sound after being injured.

She was also holding a tablet in her hand, which was playing documentaries shot when other people were injured.

Lu Yanhe did not disturb him and left quietly.

When he returned to his lounge, there was someone waiting at the door.

He is a photographer of "Dingfeng No. 1".

Lu Yanhe asked in surprise: "Brother Jiang, you're looking for me?"

"Yes, Yan He." Brother Jiang nodded with a smile on his face.

Jiang Yufeng, 36 years old, has been working in film and television photography for 13 years. He is very experienced and has strong skills.

He is also the number one photographer on site, serving under the director of photography.

"Come in." Lu Yanhe opened the door and invited Jiang Yufeng in. "Brother Jiang, would you like some water or... coffee? Sorry, these are the only two things I have."

Jiang Yufeng shook his head and said it was okay, and then said: "I know you are busy, this is it, I, I have a book that I wrote myself, and I have been wanting to do it for a long time, I want to... do you have time, can you help me take a look?"

He pushed a cowhide bag in his hand in front of Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe looked surprised and surprised.

“Is this a script?”

"Yes." Jiang Yufeng nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Yanhe took the script in his hand and took it out of the cowhide bag.

A very thick book.

If it's a TV series, it's definitely less, but if it's a movie, it seems longer.

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "No problem, Brother Jiang, but you asked me to read the script, do you have any ideas?"

He laughed and said, "Do you want me to act in the movie, or invest in it, or something else? You have to tell me so that I can know how to read the script."

Jiang Yufeng rubbed his hands and said, "If I say I have all these ideas, would it seem a bit greedy?"

Lu Yanhe smiled even more brightly.

"Okay, let me take a look at the script first." Lu Yanhe said, "But, Brother Jiang, have you signed a contract with other companies? Can you let me see this script first?"

Jiang Yufeng waved his hand somewhat disinterestedly.

"I haven't signed a contract with any other company. I run my own photography studio. But to be honest, I've shown this script to Longyan, Ruyi and others. They all think that this script has little market and the investment is relatively large, so no one is willing to do it."

Hearing this, Lu Yanhe nodded and asked, "Then according to your idea, how much money would it cost to film this book?"

"Not counting post-production, it would cost at least 40 million to film it," Jiang Yufeng said, "It's indeed a bit high."

Lu Yanhe immediately estimated in his mind that if the post-production cost was not included, it would cost 40 million. With the soundtrack, editing and other post-production items, if things were not controlled, the cost would exceed 60 million. Add in the publicity and promotion, and the production cost of this movie might soar to nearly 100 million.

Linghe has never made a movie this big.

However, Lu Yanhe did not refuse immediately.

He said, “Let me read the script first.”

Jiang Yufeng nodded.
-
After Jiang Yufeng left, Lu Yanhe flipped through the script. He didn't read it carefully, but just took a general look at the style.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that this seemed to be a film more like a biography.

It tells the story of the ups and downs of a photographer in the film industry during the Republic of China era.

It's a drama, and a biographical drama at that.

But it would cost nearly 100 million yuan, not to mention the quality of the script. Just based on this combination, Lu Yanhe roughly understood why Longyan and Ruyi were unwilling to invest.

If a story like this is made into a movie, it will most likely result in a loss.

Even if Lu Yanhe starred in the film, there would not be a marketing miracle like "Love Letter". Under normal circumstances, the box office would have been at most 300 to 500 million yuan, and it would have been entirely due to the aura of Lu Yanhe's past success miracle.

Such stories do not attract audiences at the moment.
-
"Have you given the script to Lu Yanhe?" Chief Wei, the producer of "Dingfeng No. 1", asked Jiang Yufeng.

Jiang Yufeng nodded and said, "Give it to him. Let's try and see if he's willing to help."

The captain sighed.

"Your play will cost too much money," said the chief. "Normally, no film company would be willing to do it."

——You are not Lu Yanhe.

This is what the captain did not say.

Jiang Yufeng: "But without so much money, I can't capture the style of that period. I don't want those cookie-cutter Republic of China landscapes."

"What if Lu Yanhe also rejects you?" asked the captain.

"What else can I do?" Jiang Yufeng said, "Just don't shoot it."

Wei Chang: "By the way, I heard that you are going to be in charge of Shi Jin's "Ten Miles of Flowers" project later?"

"Yes." Jiang Yufeng smiled, "You are very fast in getting news."

"That project is Shi Jin's first project after he entered the entertainment industry, and everyone is watching it." Wei Chang said, "Maybe Shi Jin will be a strong competitor to Long Yan in the future."

"In the current film market, no one is a competitor to anyone else." Jiang Yufeng said bluntly, "How many film projects really made money last year? Most of the film projects with the highest returns are related to Lu Yanhe. With Shi Jin coming in, I hope they can stir up the market and make it less lifeless."

Chief Wei: "Well, to be honest, the positioning of movies in the market has changed. Audiences have more choices. It's no longer a matter of picking one movie from two. Instead, they have to choose from a variety of products to watch a movie or do something else. However, Shi Jin's entry will probably cost a lot of publicity. If we can get everyone's attention back to the movie, that would be good."

"What do you think of the box office performance of Dingfeng No. 1?"

"It shouldn't be bad." The guard said, "The names of Liu Bige, Lu Yanhe, and Wen Shengming alone can sell a lot of movie tickets."

"Sometimes, I am a little confused. You say that a movie can't sell box office by relying on a few names, right? When you mention them, it seems that it can sell. But if you say that it can sell box office by relying on a few people, it will fail so badly that even Jia Long's recently released comedy movie did very poorly, with sales of just over 100 million." Jiang Yufeng sighed.

Wei Chang said: "Jia Long's choice of subject matter is a problem. He insisted on making a comedy with a sad tone and a non-comedy for the public, making people think that this is a realistic story. Then people don't want to go to the cinema to watch it. The core selling point is not found.

"Everyone has only a few selling points. Why is Lu Yanhe so great? Because Lu Yanhe has left an impression not only on the industry but also on all the audiences that his plays are worth watching. No matter what the subject matter is, you can give it a try. He has always been successful and has never failed. This has become his biggest selling point, giving everyone confidence in him."

"Then he can't copy it this way."

"Yes." The guard nodded. "Wen Shengming is in the same situation. It's so hard for him to make a comeback. What kind of movie would be enough to get him to make a comeback? Oftentimes, the role of a star is not about the fans paying for it, but the impression they leave on the public. When combined with a few selling points, they can create a big market."

"You're right." Jiang Yufeng nodded, "You are worthy of it."

"Lu Yanhe has been dragging his feet and refusing to sign the contract for the sequel to Burning Fire. The company is divided into two factions and they are arguing." Wei Chang revealed, "The first part of Burning Fire did very well at the box office. Now the minimum price for commercial cooperation authorization is 5 million. The company wants to promote the second part as soon as possible, but Lu Yanhe is an unknown factor. Therefore, some people have proposed to withdraw Lu Yanhe's character from the second part."

"Quit the second part?" Jiang Yufeng asked in shock, "Did you hear wrongly, or are you people in Longyan crazy?"

"Because the first part of Burning Fire had a very good reputation and it was a group film, many people believed that even if Lu Yanhe's character did not appear in the second part, it would not affect the basic market of Burning Fire." Wei Chang said, "Of course, they have a point. An actor's basic market is limited after all. If the IP of Burning Fire is established, as long as the quality is maintained, even if a few characters are changed to tell the story, it will still be a hit. Such cases are not uncommon."

This is true as long as the same role is not played by different actors.

"Then this isn't called the second part of "Burning Fire," said Jiang Yufeng.

"Yes." The guard nodded. "What they mean is to make a separate movie for Shang Yongzhou's role. The story line will not continue the content of the first part. After Lu Yanhe is confirmed to return, the original story will be continued."

Jiang Yufeng chuckled.

"They are just shooting themselves in the foot by doing this. I have only seen successful people try their best to retain all the elements of success, but I have never seen anyone who thinks they can still succeed without any link."

The chief guard said pointedly, "Yes, but speaking of it, Long Yan does have the capital to be so confident. Burning Fire is also Lu Yanhe's first movie with a box office of over 2 billion. Although Burning Fire needs him, he also needs Burning Fire, doesn't he?"

"Does he need such a number?" Jiang Yufeng shook his head, "I don't think so."

"Ok?"

"If he didn't have this 2 billion box office, wouldn't he be the leading actor that all movie projects are vying for?" Jiang Yufeng asked, "Is there another actor who can compete with him for the roles that can use him?"

Wei Chang said: "If it is a commercial film like "Burning Fire", to be honest, Li Zhibai can do it, Wang Dashan can do it, and even Lang Xia can do it."

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding." Wei Chang said, "The logic of hiring in commercial films is not that the bigger the actor, the better. Take Burning Fire for example. It has Shang Yongzhou. In fact, Shang Yongzhou is a perfect match with Li Zhi. Is the effect worse than that with Lu Yanhe? Not necessarily. In commercial films, the best is never the most suitable. Most of the time, the protagonists of commercial films are not actors."

After the Chief of Guard said this, Jiang Yufeng began to understand a little.

"I think Lu Yanhe still wants to act in "Burning Fire", otherwise he would not be using a delaying tactic but directly refused." Wei Chang said to Jiang Yufeng, "The situation in Longyan is very complicated now. If those who want to make Shang Yongzhou's solo movie really get the upper hand, Lu Yanhe will be passive."

"If Shang Yongzhou's solo film had not achieved the same success as "Burning Fire", Lu Yanhe would not necessarily be the one who was passive," said Jiang Yufeng.

"That depends on what Lu Yanhe thinks," said the guard. "Anyway, no matter what, don't be ignorant and keep in the dark. When others have made several moves, Lu Yanhe still doesn't know anything."

Jiang Yufeng's eyes changed slightly.

"Do you think I can tell Lu Yanhe this news?"

Chief of Guards: "It's up to you. Anyway, I haven't told you anything since we're out of this door."
-
After the captain came out, he walked away, took out his cell phone, and sent a message to Mrs. Huang: I have already told Jiang Yufeng, it depends on whether he will pass it on to Lu Yanhe's ears.

Mrs. Huang: Did Jiang Yufeng really show his script to Lu Yanhe?
Chief of Guard: Yes.

Mrs. Huang: Please keep an eye on this book. If Lu Yanhe is interested in doing it, please tell me as soon as possible.

Chief of Guard: Should we get involved in his book?
Mrs. Huang: That depends on whether Lu Yanhe is willing to do it.

Chief of Guard: I understand.
-
When the market is good, people will be bolder; when the market is bad, people will be less bold, and even a company like Longyan is no exception.

Mrs. Huang did plan to make a separate movie for the character of Shang Yongzhou, but that doesn't mean she really thinks that the "Burning Fire" series can bypass the character of Lu Yanhe and not make a second film.

A true IP must be a series with continuity in characters and stories.

What the Chief of Guard said was not false, but it was also a means.

Mrs. Huang couldn't just keep waiting like this, and she had to give Lu Yanhe some drastic measures.

Mrs. Huang is very confident that Lu Yanhe will definitely be willing to continue acting in the "Burning Fire" series.

In China, few film companies can make a movie like this, let alone make it successfully and gain a good reputation and market response.

As for the unpleasant things that happened before——

Mrs. Huang also thinks it’s not important.

That was just an excuse for Lu Yanhe to increase his bargaining chips.

That’s right, just as Lu Yanhe and the others thought, Huang Taizhen really thought so.

Captain Wei and Jiang Yufeng have administered the medicine, and are now waiting for Lu Yanhe's reaction, which will take some time to ferment.

Mrs. Huang was not idle either.

She came to the set of "Those Years".

She came to see Li Zhibai.

"We want to make a second part of 'I Can't Even Fake My Death'," she told Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai was a little surprised.

"what?"

The box office of "Can't Even Fake My Death" exceeded 600 million. For an urban love comedy movie, this box office result is very good, and it was even the box office champion of urban love comedy movies that year.

Longyan wanted to develop the second part, but Li Zhibai had never heard any news about it before.

"We would like to invite you to return and co-star in the second part with Ji Miao," said Mrs. Huang.

Li Zhibai said: "When this movie was released, wasn't there a lot of criticism from people?"

"That's because of the market positioning. Many people went to see it hoping to see a Liu Bige style movie, and the negative reviews were mainly focused on the fact that the movie did not meet expectations," said Mrs. Huang. "But as far as the movie itself is concerned, it is still a very good movie in the eyes of the audience, and this can actually be seen from the reviews of the movie on the Internet."

Li Zhibai didn't say anything.

"Look, these are the messages from many fans on the Internet." Mrs. Huang actually took out a bound booklet that was as thick as half a brick. "These are all the voices of the audience who liked this movie and called for a sequel."

Li Zhibai asked: "Will Liu Bige return to direct?"

"No." Mrs. Huang shook her head. "Liu Bige may not be suitable for romantic comedies. We still want to find someone who is suitable for this theme. Of course, we will invite the original screenwriter Miao Yue back to continue writing the script for the sequel."

Li Zhibai looked hesitant.

"I can't just promise you that I will act now." He said frankly, "I have been approached by many romantic comedies to begin with, and I finally have other themes to shoot."

It seemed that Mrs. Huang had expected Li Zhibai to say this.

She pulled a script out of her bag.

"If you are willing to return to "Fake Death 2", this script is yours as long as you are willing to act in it."

Li Zhibai looked at Mrs. Huang with some surprise.

He received it.

The script cover says "Orange".

There is a dash at the bottom right of the name, which reads -

Adapted from the Mao Dun Literature Prize-winning novel. Li Zhibai raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"How is it?" Mrs. Huang said, "Although this is a feature film, not a blockbuster, and the investment is not huge, it is definitely a good script. If you perform well, you can win awards."
-
Xiao Mo walked through the crowd and came to Liu Bo.

Liu Bo looked around and asked quietly, "What are they talking about?"

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "I can't hear anything clearly."

When Liu Bo heard this, he wanted to get angry again, but with so many people around him, he held back after opening his mouth.

"So useless!" He suppressed his temper and complained.

Xiao Mo lowered his head expressionlessly.
-
"Are you ok?"

When Xiao Mo went to fetch water, Yan Sui's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Xiao Mo was startled and looked at Yan Sui in surprise.

Yan Sui is Li Zhibai's assistant, and they communicate a lot with each other.

The people of Yan Sui are relatively friendly and have good relationships with everyone.

Xiao Mo showed a puzzled look on her face, as if she didn't understand why Yan Sui asked her "Are you okay?"

Yan Sui said, "I think Liu Bo seemed to be angry with you again just now."

"I'm used to it." Xiao Mo lowered his eyes somewhat dully, "It's okay."

"If your company doesn't agree to let you change jobs, and you don't want to do it anymore, you can come to me and I will introduce you to Woodpecker."

Xiao Mo looked at Yan Sui with some surprise.

Yan Sui smiled and said, "It's not easy to be an artist's assistant, and it's especially difficult to be Liu Bo's assistant. You are really patient enough."

Xiao Mo: "As long as I can be paid on time."

"If you work hard to get through a year and have a year of work experience, it will be easier to change jobs later," said Yan Sui.

Xiao Mo nodded.
-
When Yan Sui said these words to Xiao Mo, it really was just... they were kind of people who sympathized with each other, there was no other meaning.

He has been working as Li Zhibai's assistant for several years.

Being an assistant to a celebrity is not an easy job.

Even though Li Zhibai is considered a very good artist, an assistant is just an assistant, and to put it bluntly, that job is to serve others.

I have almost no time of my own, no life of my own, I have to endure the bad temper of the artists, and take care of all kinds of things like a nanny.

In terms of income, his is indeed not low. He can earn about 30,000 yuan a month and get a bonus at the end of the year, which is equivalent to that of a white-collar worker. However, compared with the hard work he has put in throughout the year, he does not feel that it is worth it at all.

Many celebrity teams make extra money by secretly selling information and schedules.

Yan Sui did not do such a thing. First, Li Zhibai was a good person. Apart from thinking that the assistant job was not easy, he actually had no problem with Li Zhibai. He even had some feelings for him after being with him for a long time and hoped for the best for him. Second, Yan Sui had been with Li Zhibai for a better position in the future.

Just like Wang Biao is Lu Yanhe’s executive agent.

Yan Sui also thought that maybe one day he would become Li Zhibai's executive agent and start earning a commission from Li Zhibai's income.

He hasn't discussed this matter with Li Zhibai yet, but he decided that if Li Zhibai and Lin Suyang still don't mention it to him next year, he will take the initiative to bring it up.
-
After staying in the hospital for three days, Wang Biao couldn't stand it any longer, so he packed up his things, returned to the crew, and reported to Lu Yanhe.

"Are you ready? You're here so soon." Lu Yanhe said, "You're in such a hurry. Are you afraid that someone else will take your job?"

Wang Biao glanced at Yu Xiaoyan and Xing Lecheng with disdain and said, "I am being responsible. They can't just take my job away from me. If that was all I was capable of, I wouldn't have been your assistant for so long."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"After being an assistant for so long, you're still as thick-skinned as ever."

Wang Biao: "Whatever you say, I'm fine anyway. I'm back to work today. CCTV has a program recording for the start of the school season in September and wants to invite us to give a speech. I discussed it with Sister Zi Yan and feel that this job cannot be postponed."

"Okay, you guys arrange it." Lu Yanhe nodded.

"In addition, 'Young Days' will be recorded here on August 8nd and 2rd." Wang Biao said to Lu Yanhe, "We have to coordinate with the crew these two days to try not to schedule night scenes for you. Then, the filming will be finished in early October. If we can catch up with the last recording, we will participate in the last recording. It is very difficult for them to adjust the schedule. This is the final recording time."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"In addition to these two jobs, on August 8, Huang Kairen and Xin Zixing's wedding will take place. We will leave on the evening after finishing filming on the 11th, attend the wedding the next day, and return in the afternoon." Wang Biao said, "We are very tight on time, but in order not to affect the normal filming of the crew, I have to trouble you."

Lu Yanhe nodded again.

"OK."

"I won't go with you then." Wang Biao said, "Brother Dong will be responsible."

"Oh my." Lu Yanhe laughed, "You usually follow me wherever I go, why don't you follow me this time?"

Wang Biao said seriously, "I have to use this day to go back to Yuming to finalize your production contract for the Jiangyan project and the related publicity for the release of your electronic album in September."

Lu Yanhe was shocked.

"Wang Biao, you are kind of cool now."

Wang Biao made a "yeah" gesture with a blank expression on his face, and said, "Please call me a cold-blooded executive agent."

Lu Yanhe laughed.

"Take care of Xiaoyan and Lecheng more, let them share some of the burden, and they can also learn." Lu Yanhe said, "Don't forget what I told you."

——If you can’t lead a team, you will have to work alone until you die.

The cold executive agent Wang Biao curled up the corner of his mouth, raised it subtly, and then immediately pressed the corner of his mouth down.

"I will."
-
In the group of three, Li Zhibai asked in surprise: Wang Biao has evolved to this point?

Lu Yanhe: Yes, it completely exceeded my expectations. I feel that with his learning ability, he can succeed in anything he does.

Li Zhibai: Why do I feel that my assistant is so much weaker than your assistant?

Lu Yanhe: Yan Sui? Isn’t he a good guy? You said before that he is reliable.

Li Zhibai: When you asked Wang Biao to be your executive agent, I thought about letting Yan Sui learn from him as well, so that he could share a lot of Su Yang's specific affairs. However, when Su Yang took him to help me with some work, the feedback was not good. One show could even make the other party's director angry.

Lu Yanhe: What’s going on?

Li Zhibai: He seems a bit stubborn and doesn’t know how to adapt.

Lu Yanhe: For example?
Li Zhibai: For example, my rehearsal time was originally scheduled for 3 pm, but because other artists’ schedules had some changes, they wanted to coordinate the rehearsal time with me. As a result, Yan Sui disagreed. In fact, it could have been coordinated, and I had more than that time available for rehearsal that day.

Lu Yanhe: Why doesn’t Yan Sui agree?

Li Zhibai: I asked him about it at that time, and he said that if the time was changed, it would affect my dinner time and I would not be able to have dinner on time, so he did not agree.

Yan Liang: To put it another way, he is also protecting your interests.

Li Zhibai: Yes, so I can’t say anything.

Lu Yanhe: Why don’t you say anything? You have to tell him the right things so that he will know what to do next time.

Li Zhibai: Brother Su Yang has told him many times, but there is no obvious change.

Lu Yanhe: Okay.

Li Zhibai: I envy you.

Yan Liang: At least your agents are Chen Ziyan and Lin Suyang. Look at me, Zhou Pingan, the Brother Pingan you are familiar with.

Lu Yanhe:......

Lu Yanhe: He just has the problem of being too thoughtful.

Lu Yanhe: For the movie "Ten Miles of Flowers", did he keep persuading you not to give up?

Yan Liang: Yeah, my ears are almost getting calluses.

Lu Yanhe: He was so persistent in wanting you to take on the movie "Ten Miles of Flowers" in order to get you in touch with Shi Jin, right? Or, did he want to get in touch with Shi Jin himself?

Yan Liang: It’s possible. I feel that his relationship with Vice President Ma is not as good as before. I have also encountered him talking to people about the possibility of moving to another job.

Lu Yanhe: If he leaves Xingyu, Xingyu will lose a great general.

Yan Liang: The earth can continue to rotate without anyone.

Lu Yanhe: Without Copernicus and Galileo, who would know that the earth is rotating?

Yan Liang: ...

Lu Yanhe: But, do you really not consider Shijin’s resources?

Yan Liang: I’m not tempted. It would be fine if I wasn’t famous yet, but now I have enough resources. But Shi Jin… although he has a lot of resources, if I really become their “spokesperson” as Zhou Ping’an said, then no matter what drama I act in, it will be tied to Shi Jin to a large extent.

Li Zhibai: If you put it that way, it seems so.

Yan Liang: I still want to be freer and be a person with the right to choose.

The dispute between Yan Liang and Zhou Pingan actually lies in the fact that Zhou Pingan believes that for Yan Liang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get on the capital table, but for Yan Liang, his acting experience in the past few years has made him think that whether or not to get on the capital table will do more harm than good to him now.

Popularity is only temporary.

Capital represents real resources.

However, people will not let him sit at the table for free. Sitting at the table requires a price and sacrifice.

Can "The Gold Rush" continue to be filmed?
What about "Friends"?

Lu Yanhe tailored the Hollywood movie "Speed" for him. What if Shi Jin is unable to enter the investment circle of this project?
What Yan Liang actually refused was not "Ten Miles of Flowers", but was the bondage, which was the "spokesperson for honesty and prudence" that Zhou Ping'an hinted at in his words.

He can shoot a serious play, the premise is that it is a play, it does not mean other factors, the premise is that it is a play like "The Gold Rush" and "The Mountain Top", which really touched him at the script level.

Yan Liang certainly knew the benefits of sitting at the table, but he was now more concerned about its disadvantages.

That was something he was unwilling to sacrifice.
-
"Mrs. Huang came to see Li Zhibai. She must have some new project."

At the same time, Li Yuefeng was also talking to his agent on the phone.

"Li Zhibai may not accept the offer. You go and ask around. If there is a chance, please help me get the role," said Li Yuefeng.

The agent said, "Okay, by the way, have you finished reading the original novel of "Ten Miles of Flowers"?"

"I've finished watching it." Li Yuefeng said, "Are there many competitors for this movie?"

"Almost all the top male actors are under consideration," the agent said. "This is the first film produced by Shi Jin. No matter what, it will not fail. This is a big pie that almost everyone wants to grab."

Li Yuefeng asked: "Lu Yanhe probably can't act, right?"

"I don't know if Shi Jin has approached Lu Yanhe, but I don't think Lu Yanhe will act." The agent also said bluntly, "This movie is mainly from a female perspective, the first protagonist is a female lead, and the positioning of this movie is neither a serious work that wins awards, nor an industrial-level blockbuster like "Burning Fire", so there is little significance for him to act in it."

Li Yuefeng nodded.

"That's fine. If I want to compete with him, I really don't have the confidence to do so."

The agent said: "If Lu Yanhe played the role, I don't think Shi Jin would have discussed this play with so many first-line male actors."

indeed.

Shi Jin wants to use this movie to make his first foray into the entertainment industry. If he can invite Lu Yanhe to star in the film, then in the current entertainment industry, Shi Jin won't have to worry about other male actors.

The agent added: "In addition to "Ten Miles of Flowers", Shi Jin also got the filming rights for the big IP "Shen Tu". According to the information I have heard so far, Shi Jin will first adapt a web drama. "Shen Tu" will be a male protagonist's perspective. When the time comes, this drama will also be something we will strive for."

Li Yuefeng nodded.

Li Yuefeng is already very popular and his team is very good at marketing. In the eyes of outsiders, although his achievements cannot be compared with those of Yan Liang, who has several hit dramas, he is definitely on the same level as him. In everyone's impression, Li Yuefeng's commercial value and fan stickiness are higher, which is more in line with the traffic characteristics of the Internet era.

This is his advantage.

Therefore, if "Divine Picture" is really to be developed, Li Yuefeng will definitely be one of the most competitive male actors.

Moreover, if he is determined to compete, his competitiveness is actually greater than that of "Ten Miles of Flowers".

It’s nothing else but that there are only a handful of films of the level of “Ten Miles of Flowers” ​​produced in China every year, and the production is too high for the small quantity.

There are still many dramas adapted from big IPs like "Shentu" in the industry every year. At least several major platforms have an S+ drama to be produced every year, and the major film and television production companies also have an S+ drama to be produced every year. This is an ecology that will definitely continue when the drama market is mature and not as extremely unstable as the film market.

A movie like "Ten Miles of Flowers" is just like "Burning Fire". After it is made, you may think it is just a big special effects movie, or you may think it is a flop. However, there is no other one except it. It is the only chance like this. If you want to act in a movie, this is one of the best chances.

This is also why actors of the same level as Li Yuefeng and Xiao Yun chose to play the second male and female leads in "Those Years".

There is no other reason. First, this is a movie. Second, this is a movie written by Lu Yanhe. Third, based on the first two points, as long as this movie performs normally, it will be enough to boost their acting careers.

But the possibility of Li Yuefeng playing the second male lead to Li Zhibai in the drama is much smaller.

In this circle, among actors of the same age, only Lu Yanhe can make other male actors willingly play the second male lead, no one else can. It's not that there is no difference between them, but again, they have their own S, S+ male lead to play, so there is no need to play supporting roles.

The drama market offers actors far more choices than the film market.

Apart from Lu Yanhe, who no longer cares about the ranking of his roles, who else would be willing to downgrade himself?

Yan Liang played the second role in the two dramas with two male protagonists, "The Gold Rush" and "The Mountain Top", because the first role was a veteran actor and it was not shameful to be the second role, otherwise, Zhou Pingan would definitely not have accepted it.

Liu Bo: "Brother, I only played a small supporting role in Those Years. Can you give me a bigger role in our next role?"

His agent said, "You are not satisfied with playing an important supporting role in Those Years? Do you know how many people are competing for your role?"

Liu Bo: "Of course I know, but I can't just be satisfied with such a role, right? Mrs. Huang from Longyan came to see Li Zhibai before, there must be a new project. Can you help me find out what the project is? Maybe in that project, there will be a second male lead for me to play?"

His agent said, "Forget about that project. Longyan wants to develop a sequel to "Can't Fake My Death" with the original cast. The new characters will only be minor roles with a few lines."

When Liu Bo heard this, he immediately lost interest.

"So that's it."

"However, there is a project I would like to let you compete for, but I have to discuss it with Linghe to see if we can get a clip of you doing well in the current footage of Those Years to compete for." The agent said, "For the project of Ten Miles of Flowers, we are currently negotiating with almost all the top male actors in the industry. We can't count on the male lead, but the second and third male leads in this movie are also roles with a lot of scenes and highlights."

Liu Bo: "Is this the movie that Shi Jin wants to make?"

"Correct."

"Who is going to be the male lead in the movie "Ten Miles of Flowers"?" Liu Bo asked, "Do I have no hope at all?"

"Shi Jin has said that he will only look for popular first-line male actors. I heard that Li Yuefeng is also on the list."

Liu Bo frowned somewhat unwillingly.

Suddenly, he thought of something and saw Xiao Mo who had been sitting quietly in the room.

The latter lowered her head, her bangs covering most of her face. She was looking at her mobile phone, and no one knew what she was looking at.

"Can't you see I'm on the phone? Get out." Liu Bo scolded.

Xiao Mo stood up like a frightened bird and went out timidly.

She walked out of the door, took two steps forward, and when she turned the corner, she bumped into someone unexpectedly.

The phone fell to the ground with a thud.

Xiao Mo staggered back a step, and the person in front of her immediately reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Excuse me."

Li Zhibai apologized first.

Xiao Mo looked at Li Zhibai in surprise, shook his head, and turned to look for his cell phone.

Li Zhibai was the first to bend down and pick up the phone that Xiao Mo had dropped on the ground.

When he caught a glimpse of what was displayed on the phone screen out of the corner of his eye, he was stunned.

Xiao Mo also saw that when the phone fell to the ground just now, a program hidden in the background popped up somehow.

A recording program that shows that it is recording and has been recording for twenty-two minutes.

Li Zhibai handed the phone over and looked at Xiao Mo with some confusion.

Xiao Mo's face turned pale. He looked at Li Zhibai nervously and hesitantly reached out to take the phone.

"Thank you," she whispered.

"It's okay." Li Zhibai nodded, "I bumped into you accidentally, sorry."

Xiao Mo shook his head timidly and ran forward.

Li Zhibai turned around and looked at her, his expression even more confused, but gradually he remembered something.

He looked back around the corner.

That's Liu Bo's lounge.
