Become famous another day.

The news broadcast at the 2rd Jump Up International Film Festival also attracted considerable attention from the crew of "Burning Fire ".

Even Shang Yongzhou came to ask Lu Yanhe curiously what was going on.

Lu Yanhe said: "I don't know the specific situation, but it should be because the guests attending the film festival are quite important, so they were on the news broadcast."

"I remember that during the first session, the artistic director of the Xitul Film Festival also came, but he was not on the news broadcast at that time." Shang Yongzhou said, "Are we going to cooperate with the Jose-La-Jacques Film Festival? Before, Mr. Wen Shengming also went to the Jose-La-Jacques Film Festival temporarily, which was not in line with his style."

Lu Yanhe didn't expect that Shang Yongzhou would be so perceptive.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yanhe said, "Indeed, there is, but I cannot tell you what it is exactly because I don't know if it can be done. In fact, I am not involved in this matter right now. I only know a general idea. They are using the platform of the Jump Up Film Critics International Film Festival to get in touch with each other."

Shang Yongzhou suddenly realized and nodded.

"If that's the case, don't tell me."

"By the way, Senior Brother, the International Film Festival of Jump Up Film Critics is setting up a role of organizer. The fourth session will be held next year. If you haven't arranged it yet, can you come and be the organizer of the fourth session?"

Shang Yongzhou was a little confused and asked, "What is this for?"

"It's actually the role of the host," Lu Yanhe said. "I was the first one, and this time it's Teacher Wen Shengming. I'm like the host, and there's nothing specific to do. I just host some specific ceremonies and occasions."

Shang Yongzhou nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll save time for next year."

"That's great." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

The filming of "Burning Fire 2" was smooth sailing.

After filming the first part, it became much easier to perform given this world view and the character he was going to play.

Plus, the actors I work with are all relatively familiar with each other, so there is almost no adjustment period, and getting and receiving roles is all very smooth, with almost no unpleasantness.

Probably because of the filming of "Ding Feng No. 2", Zhou Ruo, who played his sister, also has a role in "Burning Fire " this time.

This actress, who came from a prominent family, had rarely been seen in public media or on any occasion since she finished filming Dingfeng No. 1. She was so quiet that she didn't look like a female star.

Of course, she may not consider herself a female star.

Lu Yanhe was quite familiar with her because he had worked with her before.

He asked, “What are you doing lately?”

Zhou Ruo said: "I went to the British countryside for two months a while ago."

Lu Yanhe looked shocked.

"what?"

"Because my father is in England," Zhou Ruo explained, "I went to see him. It happened that a friend of mine had a house in the countryside outside London, England, and she invited me to stay there, so I went."

Lu Yanhe: "This is so enviable, such a leisurely life."

Zhou Ruo said, "If you want to go, I can ask my dad to help find out if there are any suitable suburban houses to rent. There should be quite a few there."

Lu Yanhe quickly shook his hand and said, "I don't have that much time."

Zhou Ruo: "It's also good to live there for a week, in an environment where no one knows you at all - well, maybe there are still people who know you there, but there are really few people there, even if there are neighbors who know you, they are only in the single digits."

"Okay, if I need this later, I'll ask you for help." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

Zhou Ruo nodded.

Zhou Ruo asked again: "When Buried Alive held its premiere in the UK, I thought you would come."

"Did you go?" Lu Yanhe asked.

"I went." Zhou Ruo nodded, "My father got the invitation letter and took me with him."

"If you want to go in the future, just tell me and I will get the invitation letter for you," said Lu Yanhe.

Zhou Ruo agreed.

She added: "I will hold my solo exhibition in London this October. If you have time, you are welcome to come and have a look."

In addition to being an actor, Zhou Ruo is also a painter.

He knew this.

Lu Yanhe nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "If I don't have time to go, can you get two tickets for my friend? My girlfriend Siqi, her company Jump Up, is also doing the curation, and she should be very interested in these."

Zhou Ruo nodded.

"Sure, no problem." Zhou Ruo said, "But it's just a small personal exhibition, not a large exhibition in the conventional sense. You have to tell them in advance to avoid misunderstandings."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
The plot of "Burning Fire 2" is actually very simple. Lu Yanhe and Shang Yongzhou, who were separated in the first part, meet again in a place called Juran City.

At the same time, they also encountered a charlatan played by Jia Long.

In fact, they did not meet here by chance - they were all invited by the Lord of Ju Ran City to help him rescue his daughter who was kidnapped by the Black Wind Valley.

The Lord of Juran City is played by Cheng Shiyan.

And the daughter is played by Zhou Ruo.

The story of the second part actually revolves around the Black Wind Valley.

Commander Wu from the City Lord's Mansion led a few of them to sneak into the Black Wind Valley, and unexpectedly discovered that the Lord of the Black Wind Valley had kidnapped a total of three girls, but the daughter of the Lord of Juran City was not among the three girls.

After further investigation, it was found that the daughter of the Lord of Juran City was actually the Lord of Black Wind Valley.

The so-called kidnapping was also to help these girls escape the marriages arranged by their families.

However, the story did not end there. After some discussion, everyone discovered a problem. Zhou Ruo did not tell Ju Rancheng in the name of Black Wind Valley that he was kidnapped by Black Wind Valley.

How did the Lord of Juran City think that his daughter was kidnapped by the Black Wind Valley?
Afterwards, the news that the Lord of Juran City was controlled by the Deputy Lord spread to the Black Wind Valley.

The actor who plays the deputy city lord is Liu He. He is not very famous, but he is a national first-class actor and a veteran actor.

The deputy city lord sent a message to Zhou Ruo, asking her to return to Juran City alone within one day, otherwise he would kill Zhou Ruo's father.

The subsequent plot is of course about the protagonists Lu Yanhe and others, who, through a series of strategies and plans, help Zhou Ruo rescue her father and defeat the villain, the deputy city lord.

The story framework is just such a framework.

Of course there are many details in it.

Director Wan Wan Hai said during a meeting with the actors: "This is not a political plot film. Although the framework of this story is based on the deputy city lord's desire to become the city lord himself, so after discovering that the city lord's daughter is the master of the Black Wind Valley, he wants to use this opportunity to get rid of the two, the core of the film is still various kinds of magic."

"The story framework is just a cup, and the focus is the wine in the cup, right?" Jia Long said with a smile.

"That's right." Wanrenhai nodded. "So, when you perform, teachers, don't act too serious. The tone of this play is a comedy adventure."

Lu Yanhe and Shang Yongzhou both nodded to show that they understood.

The young actor who plays Commander Wu is a newcomer named Jiang Chenyang.

He has been learning martial arts since elementary school. He looks handsome and energetic. No one knows where the Longyan was dug from.

He is the only newcomer among all the actors who played the main roles. Of course, he must have some talent to play a main role in such a big-budget sequel.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Director, should I act more relaxed?"

"No, no need." Wanrenhai shook his head immediately. "You and Mr. Shang's roles have been finalized in the first part. It's strange to suddenly change them. In fact, I'm also very sorry. The tone of the second part has put higher demands on you, because the overall tone of your two roles in the first part is heroic and gloomy. In this part, you have a shadow in your heart and can't let it go. Although Shang Yongzhou's revenge has been avenged, the regret will always be in his heart. Such a background cannot allow you to take the initiative to make changes. However, as soon as Mr. Jia Long's role appeared, it was written very clearly in the script. His own style of being unsparing and full of nonsense will constantly dilute the heavy atmosphere brought by the first part of the two of you. At this time, you should keep a little bit of the first part and not be assimilated and infected by him so quickly. That kind of opposition will actually give a better comedy effect."

"As for the other characters, it's the same." Wanrenhai said, "I hope everyone will not restrict your performances based on the impression from the first film. You are brand new characters and a brand new world view background. This is an expansion of the world view of the first film. You should show the vastness and richness of this world view, and it should be different from the first film."

Liu He nodded and said, "As the deputy city lord, I am full of schemes and intrigues, but on the outside I appear to be a lickspittle of the city lord. The most important thing is that I have ambitions but only cleverness, and I am essentially stupid."

"Yes." Wanrenhai nodded and said, "Teacher Liu, I hope your character can show such characteristics."

"Actually, I am more stereotyped. I am a person with great strength but a simple and honest appearance." Cheng Shiyan said, "Well, I would like to add a small setting to make this character more likable."

"What little setting?" Wanrenhai asked.

"Daughter slave."

"That's fine." Wanrenhai's eyes lit up immediately, "That's a good addition."

……

This is the atmosphere in which Burning 2 was created.

Although it is a commercial special effects blockbuster and the story structure itself is relatively ordinary, every actor is working hard within this framework to add brilliance to the characters and the film in his own way, making the logic of the story more self-consistent.

In fact, if you want to find fault with the plot of any movie, you can definitely find fault with it.

However, actors can use their performances to give their characters charm and filters, allowing the audience to subconsciously ignore those bugs.

For example, Ren Suxi in "The Unknown".

It is actually impossible for a normal paralyzed person to speak like she did, but the script required it to be like that. Moreover, if she could not present herself in that form, she would not be able to play the role - the character's function would not be completed.

In fact, Ren Suxi's performance made everyone believe in her role, ignore the objective problems, and feel sorry for her from the bottom of their hearts.

On the other hand, the robbers played by Zhang Yu and Pan Binlong are also like this. In essence, their performance is a dramatic performance rather than a real performance, especially the part where they apply medicine.

However, the actors had a strong sense of conviction and performed well, so this hilarious scene, when recalled, actually feels as real as realism.

This is the skill of performance.

This is also the role of performance.

In "Burning Fire 2", the actors are actually required to give such performances.
-
In fact, the best scenes in the movie "Burning Fire 2" that Lu Yanhe most anticipated were not reflected in the script.

For example, a "group fight" scene.

They sneaked into the Black Wind Valley, and when they were rescuing the girl, they were "betrayed" by the girl, who called the Black Wind Valley guards, and the two sides fought -

But this is not an action film, nor a martial arts film, this is a world of warlocks.

In this section, Wanrenhai's script is not presented in the form of text, but as a storyboard sketch.

In the storyboard sketch, this "group fight" was so colorful.

Each person's move is a different technique, and after every few close-up shots of the techniques, there will be a large panoramic view.

In the panoramic view, there were at least four or five, and at most seven or eight different spells being performed at the same time, just like "fireworks".

The most important thing is, because of the urgency of the situation, this time while they were performing their magic, everyone also had their own action scenes.

If I were to describe it in one sentence, it would be that it is ever-changing and extremely exciting.

This is the part that Lu Yanhe particularly wanted to shoot.
-
Originally, Lu Yanhe was planning to take a leave before the release of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" to promote the film.

As a result, it just happened that during these two days, we happened to catch the shooting of one of the "group fight scenes".

This kind of scene takes four to five days, or even more than ten days to shoot.

Of course Lu Yanhe can also ask for leave, and the crew will not refuse.

However, once he takes leave, it will inevitably affect the arrangements of the crew.

Lu Yanhe didn't want to affect everyone.

As for "Those Years", he is not indispensable.

After much deliberation, Lu Yanhe gave up asking for leave and decided to stay in the crew to film.

He could only post a Weibo: It's a pity that I'm on the set and can't go to the theater to watch "Those Years" right away. If "Love Letter" is a book of nostalgia when one is asleep at night, "Those Years" is like walking on a crowded street and suddenly seeing a few familiar faces. At that moment, you feel lost as if time has pierced your heart. Youth.
-
Youth.

"Those Years" is a love movie, but it is also a youth movie.

After "Buried" sold more than 4 million yuan in box office in April, Li Zhibai once again brought a movie to conquer the box office.

Of course, the box office of "Those Years" was not carried by Li Zhibai alone.

The second male lead is Li Yuefeng, the first female lead is Yan Lingyu, and the second female lead is Xiao Yun.

Except for Yan Lingyu who has "disappeared" after "Late Spring", Li Yuefeng and Xiao Yun are both popular first-line actors.

Only a youth romance movie like "Those Years" can gather so many popular stars.

Facts have proven that when the star effect is combined with mainstream commercial themes such as youthful romance, astonishing commercial data will be generated - although many people also know that such data are often not sustainable.

But, who knows.

"Love Letter" was able to gross over 10 billion yuan at the box office thanks to the topic marketing, and "Those Years" is even more commercial. Who knows what kind of miracle it will create?
Moreover, Those Years caught up with a market where the box office ceiling was pushed to billions. When the original version was released, the market was far from being so big, and the leading actors were all unknown at the time. The box office was driven by the word-of-mouth of the movie and the social topic effect.

The role of Lu Yanhe's golden finger is to know what kind of stories will be liked by the audience, and then arm them with elements that are recognized by the market to protect them.

At the end of June, "Those Years" was released on an unremarkable Friday.

The box office on the first day was 3200 million, taking first place. On the next day, Saturday, the box office soared and reached 4800 million. On Sunday, the box office fell and returned to 3400 million. In the first three days of the weekend, the box office took a total of 1.1 million.

Compared with the opening weekend box office of "Buried", it seems a bit weaker.

However, Linghe still issued a box office celebration announcement.

No one is in a hurry at all.

Because Lu Yanhe said that this movie relied entirely on the star effect and early trailers to sell tickets in the first weekend. As long as the screening rate is stable and not snatched away by others, the advantages of the youth love theme will explode once the subsequent movie topics ferment.

#The heavy rain I missed in those years, the love I missed in those years#
A topic has quietly entered various social platforms.

One after another, "stories of pursuit", "stories of breakup" and "stories of regret" are like heavy rain in the evening, with large and small beads, sprinkling all over the ocean of the Internet.

In fact, these are not advertorials that are arranged out of the blue.

For stories like this, there is no need to find a writer to write soft articles, you just need to find an editor to summarize and promote them.

An article titled "If you really like someone, when she marries someone else, you will sit in the audience and sincerely wish her well" appeared. (End of this chapter)
