Become famous another day.

When Lu Yanhe's photo with fans caused a lot of controversy on social media, Lu Yanhe had already "reinvented himself" with the help of a stylist.

During the whole process, Anna White sat nearby and observed him.

As for the look that Lu Yanhe will be wearing on the red carpet later, almost every item on him has an endorsement brand.

There were quite a few people in the room.

This was done in the house rented by Zou Dong and Wang Biao.

There were too many people, and it was easy to make Anna's house messy and dirty, even though Anna repeatedly said it was okay and she could just clean it up later.

After Lu Yanhe was dressed from head to toe, Anna White said with some surprise: "You don't seem to have many opinions about your look."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Unless I can't stand it, I'll just leave it to them."

Anna White said: "Why do you have less self-esteem in this regard? Generally speaking, every celebrity artist has almost harsh requirements for their own image."

This is not gender specific at all.

Lu Yanhe said: "Because I have to do it according to my preferences. I would be happy to show a different look every time I appear on the red carpet. I don't want to wear a suit and tie like a model every time."

Anna White: “Okay.”

This time he even walked the red carpet holding a scepter.

This was borrowed from the jewelry brand he endorses and is worth hundreds of millions.

There are so many people in the room, four of whom are the bodyguards of this scepter.

The scepter is in their hands now and will be given to him later.

That’s why the brands he endorses want him to come to the Bicaro Film Festival.

There are only a few events of this level in a year. If Lu Yanhe doesn't come this time, the next time might be the Golden Globe Awards or the Oscars. But those kinds of occasions are not suitable for him to enter with a scepter. It depends on the occasion.

The more occasions Lu Yanhe attends, the richer the types of things brands can present through him.

Needless to say, the scepter was not intended to be sold through his hands.

This kind of thing is purely used by brands to enhance their brand image and value.

As soon as Lu Yanhe appears with the scepter, OK, this exposure will give the brand an impression of "nobility, mystery, and bloodline".

Third-rate stars help brands sell products, while top stars help brands consolidate their overall value.

There is really no brand that cooperates with Lu Yanhe just hoping that he can help sell products.

That's not where their value lies.

There are internet celebrities, traffic stars and others to do that.

Lu Yanhe’s styling was relatively easy to create, and it only took about half an hour in total.

In particular, there was a brand that wanted to add a few accessories to his clothes, but Lu Yanhe directly refused.

"I already have a scepter. With a few more accessories, I can go directly to the masquerade ball." This was the only suggestion Lu Yanhe rejected today.

On the red carpet of the opening ceremony of the Bicaro Film Festival, Lu Yanhe was arranged to be in the middle and back part.

It was the most noisy and chaotic time on the red carpet.

But how could the Bicaro Film Festival allow Lu Yanhe to appear among the group of people?

They wanted to do this, but the media would not agree.

If this current hot star were to appear on the red carpet, other people would stay and no one would take pictures of them.

So, when Lu Yanhe got out of the car and arrived at the red carpet entrance, the security guards on the scene began to control the flow of people and prepare to clear the area.

This is something that all the top film festivals often do.

This is their gift to the big names.

But many people mistakenly believe that as long as they are a big shot, they will receive such courtesy every time.

Actually, that’s not the case.

This requires looking at the situation of this big shot and what he is here for.

For example, Lu Yanhe is an officially invited guest. This time there is no film crew shortlisted, so he comes as an individual. The nature of this is purely "inviting a big-name guest". In this case, the official film festival will most likely clear the venue for him.

Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the film festival itself.

The crew of "Hesitant Outlook on Life" happened to be walking on the red carpet behind Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe greeted them happily.

Afterwards, the on-site staff guided Lu Yanhe to walk onto the red carpet.

Lu Yanhe walked up slowly with the scepter in his hand, and with a lazy and relaxed attitude, he smiled and waved to the media and photographers on both sides.

The music on the scene suddenly changed, and the soundtrack of "Tropical Rainy Season" sounded.

Melodious and slow.

Lu Yanhe performed his pantomime on the red carpet in time with the music.

He has never been so diverse on the red carpet.

He looked like a young gentleman from the old century, handsome, graceful, and relaxed.

It was not until one-third of the way through that the music suddenly turned into the cheerful and exciting soundtrack of "Home Alone".

The whole audience heard it and cheered and screamed.

Lu Yanhe simply held the scepter in his hand and began to perform some light-hearted and funny movements to the rhythm of the music.

There were bursts of screams and cheers at the scene.

Lu Yanhe gave the Bicaro Film Festival enough face. This was the first time for him to do such a trick on the red carpet.

Suddenly, he thought of something, turned around, and walked to the entrance of the red carpet with a cheerful step to the music, and said to Director Wang Shuai, Yu Mengling, Jiang Yue and others, "Come on."

They were all stunned.

Lu Yanhe turned directly to Yu Mengling and made a gesture to invite the lady to dance.

Yu Mengling then smiled in surprise and handed over his hand with some reserve.

Lu Yanhe held Yu Mengling's hand and danced casually to the accompaniment music of "Home Alone".

The applause, cheers and screams at the scene reached a climax.

This was something they had never mentioned before, and it was something that Lu Yanhe thought of by chance.

He danced with Yu Mengling for about ten seconds before he smiled and let go of her hand. He bowed gracefully and made an exit gesture to Yu Mengling, waved and saluted to Wang Shuai and Jiang Yue who had not followed. Then, he took Yu Mengling's hand again, took her back to the red carpet entrance, and handed her hand to director Wang Shuai.

"Director, shall we take a photo together?"

Lu Yanhe invited everyone from "The Hesitant Outlook on Life" to walk the red carpet with him. After taking a group photo, he said, "I'm leaving. See you inside!" and waved to the photographers on both sides of the red carpet with big strides. He stopped at the last section, let the photographers on both sides take pictures for a while, and then entered the Film Palace.
-
Lu Yanhe's performance on the red carpet became the subject of crazy reporting and dissemination by major media.

The "cha cha" dance between him and Yu Mengling on the red carpet also became one of the most popular animated pictures on the social platform that day.

While everyone was behaving normally, he just made a big splash on the red carpet.

The red carpet has always been the place most likely to explode and attract the most attention.

An actor of Lu Yanhe's level, if he does anything beyond the norm, will definitely be reported by media around the world.

Yu Mengling also gained some fame because of this. She was the actress who danced the "Cha Cha" with Lu Yanhe on the red carpet of the Bicaro Film Festival.

Every media outlet mentioned Yu Mengling's name when reporting this news.
-
By doing this, Lu Yanhe was actually creating a very big topic for the Bicaro Film Festival while helping Yu Mengling and the crew of "Hesitant Outlook on Life" to gain a lot of exposure and traffic.

Triple win.

In fact, every time Lu Yanhe comes to an international film festival, it brings it huge exposure and popularity.

Such exposure and popularity are not based on risky moves or exaggerated words and deeds that are intended to attract attention or stand out. On the contrary, every topic that is aroused is very consistent with his identity and public impression, which not only brings traffic and attention to all parties, but also increases his favorability in the public's hearts.

It's a talent.

"Wasn't this communicated in advance?" A familiar media reporter saw Lu Yanhe at the Film Palace and asked about what happened on the red carpet just now. He asked back in shock.

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "There was no communication. It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Of course, this reporter is not the only one who has such thoughts.

Many people thought that this scene between Lu Yanhe and Yu Mengling on the red carpet was planned in advance. Lu Yanhe took it for granted that many people he met thought so.

"It seems to be working well." Lu Yanhe said with a smile when he saw Yu Mengling again.

Yu Mengling: "You scared me. I was totally unprepared. I was totally confused and didn't even say hello in advance."

"I didn't plan these things. The atmosphere was there." Lu Yanhe said, "I wanted to invite all of you to come and cha-cha, but when I came out holding your hand, they just stood there motionless."

Jiang Yue puffed up her lips and said, "At that time, who could have reacted so quickly? I rashly followed them and they didn't even invite me. I would have become a clown on the red carpet."

"You are being reserved now. Weren't you very brave before?" Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "Even if I really didn't mean that and you misunderstood and followed me, would I still chase you away? You missed such a big wave of media exposure."

Jiang Yue: "I would rather not have this exposure than be misunderstood by you as a shameless, scheming bitch who wants to get on the red carpet."

Lu Yanhe: "...I don't know what to say for a moment."

Jiang Yue: "You praised me for being too cautious but not rash."

"The most profound impression you leave on me is that you are outgoing and courageous. Don't let the mold of a celebrity or artist limit your own personality." Lu Yanhe said, "You are an actor, not an idol. There is no need to be so perfect. The worst that can happen is that you will be scolded. What are you afraid of?"

Jiang Yue heard this and said, "It's really uncomfortable to be scolded by others, why aren't you afraid?"

Yu Mengling grabbed Jiang Yue's hand and said, "Alright, stop arguing with him. He is deliberately provoking you. Haven't you reacted yet?"

Jiang Yue widened her eyes.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "You look most lively when you are fighting with others or having a little temper. I saw you pretending to be such a lady on the red carpet just now. It was boring."

Jiang Yue: “…”
-
Lu Yanhe saw a little bit of Wang Jing's shadow in Jiang Yue.

Of course, Wang Jing's wildness and the temperament that allows her to go crazy at any time are much stronger than Jiang Yue's.

Jiang Yue's temperament is the kind of girl's temperament that can be found in every class, with a passionate personality and a bit of boyishness.

This is precisely what makes her most recognizable as an actress.

Compared to the same old beauty, unique features are more memorable on the red carpet.

Lu Yanhe thinks that new actors like Jiang Yue should not miss such an opportunity to be exposed. If they can be exposed in a good state, they may be noticed by a director and given a chance to play a role.

Many people feel that the chance of being noticed by a director is too illusory and too slim.

But in fact, an actor has to constantly create such opportunities for himself.

Just like Liu Ye, in order to be noticed by "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", he ran to the director and pretended to be playing basketball to leave an impression on himself in front of the director.
-
Lu Yanhe understands the uneasiness and caution that everyone feels when they first arrive, but after going through many such occasions, his experience is that you shouldn't be afraid. It's better to be a little reckless than to be timid and invisible.

The bigger the stage, the more it can accommodate a person's sincere recklessness. In fact, sincere recklessness is the most youthful and moving embellishment of the stage, and no one will laugh at it.

"Ah, Sister Meng Ling, I'm really envious."

Jiang Yue said to Meng Ling in his ear.

"Are you envious of him for being able to handle things so well and thrive in a foreign land like this?" Yu Mengling and Jiang Yue asked with a smile as they watched Lu Yanhe chatting and interacting with the foreign filmmakers around him.

"No, I envy him for being so calm." Jiang Yue said, "I'm really nervous and excited. I know I should be calm, but I can't."

"Why do you have to be calm?" Yu Mengling held Jiang Yue's hand, "Just be yourself, isn't that what Yan He meant just now?"

Jiang Yue: "I know, but I just can't control myself. I'm afraid of being embarrassed, so I envy Xiao Lu's calmness. He seems to have performed well since his first appearance at this international film festival."

“Have you seen the video of his first trip to an international film festival?”

"Yes, it was when Three Mountains went to the Xitul Film Festival." Jiang Yue said, "I have seen many videos of him on the spot."

"That only proves one thing, his acting is much better than yours." Yu Mengling chuckled and said gently to Jiang Yue, "No one would not be nervous and excited when attending such a top film festival for the first time. In fact, you were in a very good state in front of Yan He just now. Because you were familiar with him, even though you were excited and nervous, it was very vivid. He is right, he really has a pair of eyes that can see through people."

When Jiang Yue heard Yu Mengling speak like this, she felt like a girl who came out of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She was gentle and kind, and had the purity of gold and jade.

"Sister Meng Ling, I also want to be like you."

She pressed herself against him.

Yu Mengling's eyebrows curved.

"You're fine the way you are. You don't have to be like me."
-
Starting from the opening film, for the next few days, Lu Yanhe's main activity every day was watching movies.

But this time it was different, he was watching it with a professional film magazine editor and film critic like Anna White.

In addition to watching movies every day, he and Anna White also had endless exchanges, discussions, and even arguments about movies and various topics derived from them.

After watching the film On the Xunyang River starring Liu Teli, Anna White said: "This film has too many traces of imitation, and the director's own expression can hardly be seen. It is just an exquisite replica."

Apparently, Anna White didn't agree with the film.

"There are more than a dozen films like this produced every year, and there's nothing outstanding about them."

"Your requirements are too strict. Although the style of the film itself has many traces of imitation, the whole film is very well done. It is about a fisherman's family, and you can see the big picture from the details. Moreover, you can feel the subtle flow of time from the changes in their family. It has a sense of immersion that makes people forget the real time and space and enter a movie time and space." Lu Yanhe said, "In addition, the male lead of this film gave a very advanced and restrained performance."

Anna White: "The actors' performances were indeed very good, but I also felt the traces."

“Is there such a thing as a performance without a trace?”

"No, but there are performances that allow us to ignore the traces," Anna White said bluntly.

Lu Yanhe was speechless for a moment.

Anna White is not so harsh on "On the Xunyang River".

Her harshness applies to all movies.

From the opening film till now, there has not been a single movie that she has praised more than a few words.

This woman, who usually seems enthusiastic, gentle and polite, suddenly becomes mean, sharp-tongued and picky at this moment.

But you can't refute her yet.

You can only say that she is judging these films by the highest, most idealistic standard, but you can't say that she is talking nonsense.

Moreover, after chatting with her for a few days, Lu Yanhe deeply realized that for a critic like Anna, in her mind, the technical aspects of the film are second-rate, and the outlook on life and philosophy reflected by the author are first-rate. Having a style and characteristics that others do not have is the top-notch.

In short, Anna White is using the perspective of measuring "personal work" to evaluate a work that is actually created by multiple people. She knows that this is a paradox, but still regards the film as the director's personal work. Other types of work, including actors, are just the director's tools and "brushes" in his hands.

It is extreme, yet... pure. It is irrational, but the criticism it gives is sharp and to the point.

Lu Yanhe thought to himself that film critics are film critics and can only build castles in the air, but at the same time he was slowly influenced by some of Anna's theories, ideas and attitudes.

Because no matter how many objective reasons he finds for himself, he knows what is right and what is good from the perspective of creation. (End of this chapter)
