Become famous another day.

It exploded. It exploded.

The next Jose-La Roche Film Festival will still be held in China!

The shock and impact caused by this news was even greater than the spread and mention volume of the award list.

A British media outlet directly criticized: From now on, the Netherlands-Spain Film Festival should be renamed the China Film Festival.

Of course, there are also many people supporting us online.

The main reason is that this year's Hexi Film Festival was too successful in Yuming. Especially for the audience, it was too friendly. Yuming is a big city with good public facilities. Even if hundreds of thousands of fans and people who come to join the fun come to scramble for tickets, hundreds of theaters and cinemas provide screening services for hundreds of movies, unlike the previous Hexi Festival where tickets were hard to get. Basically, every movie has a screening every day, so everyone can coordinate which movie they want to watch according to their own schedule.

This is too friendly, especially for foreign audiences.

Serious movie fans come for these movies and hope to see every one of them. However, in Ho Chi Minh, due to the limited screenings and the distance between the screening time and the screening location, it is difficult to catch up, and they always have to give up some of the movies they want to see. This problem does not exist in Yu Ming.

On social media, you can see many people praising their experience at this year's Jose María Film Festival.

This is exactly the feedback that China hopes to get most when hosting the Jose-La Rocha Film Festival.
-
"Home Alone 2 has grossed $7.2 million worldwide, and now the Joseph-Sands International Film Festival has received such good reviews overseas. Several Chinese films, including Mud, Hesitation, and Neon, have won awards at the four major international film festivals. In addition, the next Joseph-Sands International Film Festival will still be held in China. My superiors have already called me and will further increase their support for the film industry in the second half of the year."

At the China Film Association's executive council meeting, President Yuan Jianglei could hardly hide his excitement.

No matter what others were thinking, their faces showed excitement and happiness.

"Yan He made a great contribution this time," said Yuan Jianglei. "Our association should also express gratitude and commendation to him. Yan He also played a vital role in ensuring that the next Holland-Spanish Film Festival will continue to be held in China and in Jinkou."

At this time, Wen Shengming suddenly smiled - a smile that was not real, and said: "If five or six Chinese films are shortlisted this year, I wonder if the next one will still be held in China."

He didn't even look at Wu Meng, who had expressed strong opinions about Lu Yanhe at that time. However, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone else's eyes looked over and fell lightly on Wu Meng's feeling of "not being in the right place".

Yuan Jianglei smiled.

"Shengming, you have filmed a movie with Xiao Lu before. You should bring Xiao Lu to participate in our film association's activities more often."

Wu Meng smiled and said, "President, Mr. Lu Yanhe is very busy, how can he have so much time to participate in our film association's small activities? People may not even appreciate it."

Yuan Jianglei glanced at Wu Meng.

Wen Shengming said, "If President Wu can give up his seat and let Xiao Lu take it, Xiao Lu will definitely be impressed."

Wu Meng's face turned pale in an instant.

Wen Shengming glanced at him with a warning look in his eyes.

Wu Meng didn't say anything else.

Wen Shengming said at this time: "Xiao Lu is very young and on the rise. He is leading a company as big as Linghe to venture into the international arena. If we give him some positions in the association now, it will actually be a bit of a burden for him. But for those who have made contributions, we cannot help but express our gratitude. It is better to give him an honorary title."

Yuan Jianglei nodded.

"I think it's okay."

After the Jose-Hi Film Festival, Lu Yanhe had a good sleep, but he only woke up after nine hours.

"..."

I am fed with nutritious meals every day and ordered to work out from time to time. I have to say that my body has become stronger and healthier.

I can't even sleep for that long.

Chen Siqi and the others became busy instead.

After the Jose-Hi Film Festival, in June, there will be the International Film Critics Film Festival.

This year, because of the Netherlands-Spain Film Festival, they were invited to screen more films than in the past two years.

The movie theater owners in Yuming were all very happy.

Because of these two film festivals, from May to June, a large number of moviegoers went to the cinema every day to watch these movies, and the box office was very good.

However, there were fewer film critics attending the film festival this time.

Since I have come once in May, I am not so willing to come again in June.

Despite this, Chen Siqi and her colleagues are still working diligently, determined to keep this film festival going for a long time, stably and with high quality.

In fact, Lu Yanhe thinks this is a great idea.

Although the scale and nature of the International Critics Film Festival cannot be compared with the first-tier international film festivals, in this niche field, it is getting better and better, and its popularity and influence are growing. Most importantly, its recognition in the industry is getting higher and higher - this is for the global film industry.

This is a small fire.

As long as you keep doing it, do it in your own style, and gain recognition, no one knows what will happen in the future and how you will grow.

Lu Yanhe feels that for a major film country like China, although it does not have a truly internationally recognized film festival or film award due to its late start, as long as China does not hold on to unrealistic ideas of catching up with XXX within a few years, and runs its own film festival seriously, it will slowly create something “small but beautiful”.

For example, the FIRST Youth Film Festival. This film festival in a parallel universe has been held year after year. From the beginning, it was just a "grassroots team" configuration, but later, it became more and more formal, and the number of real movie stars participating increased year by year.

This means that if you do it well, you will naturally attract outstanding people.

Xin Yukun's "Labyrinth of the Heart" amazed the audience here, and later he brought "Silent Explosion".

"Old Beast", for which Tu Men won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, was also his directorial debut here.

Gu Xiaogang's "Spring River Flows Warm" is a rare non-big director art film in recent years that has a certain voice in the mainstream vision.

Wen Muye, the director of "Dying to Survive", won the Best Feature Film in the short film competition unit of the "College Student Film Festival" here in 2011. Later, he met Xu Zheng, who was a judge at the 2013 First.

The petty-bourgeois film "Love Myth" met Ma Yili in the venture capital unit of the First Youth Film Festival.

……

In China, this is a serious film festival that can give some truly unknown newcomers and young people opportunities, although it calls itself a film exhibition.

That’s why it gets better and better every year.

People are utilitarian, but utilitarianism is not necessarily vulgar and heartless.

If the Jump Up International Film Critics Film Festival is held one after another, and each time it is able to have a good eye for film selection, produce good critics, and allow hardcore movie fans to "return with a full load" here, over time, why can't it become an irreplaceable small-category theme film festival?
Once it has an irreplaceable nature, it is either one of the “Four Major” or at least “One Major” - only then can it truly become a flower among the “hundred flowers blooming”.

For this flower, even if it is in a corner, people have to come and see it.
-
The success of the Jose-La-Hebe Film Festival in Yuming this time, especially because Yuming, as a megacity, has the ability to receive film festival fans, which has greatly improved the global fan participation of this film festival. Lu Yanhe, through Linghe and his own cooperative relationships, invited a number of big names, making this film festival no less than any other.

Especially this time, the participation of these big names, they are people from various countries, interviews, exchanges, parties, media meetings... It is not a "visit" type of check-in, but they really stayed for several days and participated in depth.

After Lu Yanhe rested for a few days, he reviewed his situation and summarized his experience. He thought to himself that he was still too busy and forgot about a new growth point in the sector.

With so many copyright holders, how come they forget to directly invite screenwriters to bring their scripts to the trading market to sell their scripts? !

If we look back and see which of these movies wins a major award anywhere, we can say that this movie started at the Jose-La Roche Film Festival!
Isn’t the honor and influence of a film festival accumulated through one film after another?

Forget it, don’t give the Jose Film Festival a break.

Lu Yanhe thought, why not take the lead in organizing an international script trading market?
The script is still too narrow, the concept should be broader.

It should be the Good Story International Trading Market.
-
After a few days of rest, Lu Yanhe recovered a little and went to Shihuo to find Chen Ziyan. Chen Ziyan wanted to ask Lu Yanhe to help look at the planning routes of several actors that the company focused on training.

"You guys think too highly of me. You actually let me come here to see this." Lu Yanhe complained about Chen Ziyan as soon as he entered the room.

Chen Ziyan said: "What's wrong with asking you to come and see this? You have a good eye for actors, especially for what kind of roles they are suitable for and can make breakthroughs."

Lu Yanhe: “That’s nonsense.”

"What nonsense! I'm serious." Chen Ziyan said, "The show 'The Birth of the Actors' has allowed several of our contracted actors to be seen by the market again. However, they are no longer young. With the current situation of the company and their own abilities, it is not difficult to keep them filming and playing roles. But if we want them to go a step further and become real A-listers and leading actors like Jiang Jun, we need to plan carefully."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

It is more difficult for middle-aged actors to succeed than young actors - from the perspective of A-list actors, this is true.

Cases like Gao Ye's, where one encounters "Kuangbiao" and rises to fame overnight, are truly a rare opportunity.

Why do I say that? Because a role like the sister-in-law only appears occasionally in the market every few years. Sometimes, you have a lot of skills but no space to display them.

However, young people's modern and ancient idols, as well as fan-attracting characters that have been tested by the market, such as the school idol, the top student, the domineering boss, the master, etc., are produced steadily in the market every year, and there is always an opportunity to fight for it.

Lu Yanhe said to Chen Ziyan, "In fact, I think there are only two options. Either they continue to follow the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" and participate in variety shows or other exposure programs to maintain market popularity and commercial value, and then slowly deepen their presence in the market. Or they settle down and become an 'old actor', leaving the impression of 'acting well' to the whole market, which can also attract good producers and directors to find them. However, if they want to reach the sky in one step - I mean speed, then it's very simple. Find a screenwriter to tailor a script for them."

Chen Ziyan nodded.

"I was inspired by what you said about wanting to create an international trading market for good stories," Chen Ziyan said. "What I want to choose is to combine these points."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Chen Ziyan: "First, I want to make a program whose theme is to track and record talented actors. With them as the protagonists, I want to film their experiences in the next year, so as to maintain their exposure and popularity. However, it is not a variety show or label-style popularity, but an exposure that deepens their impression of acting skills."

"Secondly, in this program, I want to use them as 'topic essays' to solicit scripts from the market, or have screenwriters tailor-make scripts for them - for many screenwriters, they also need such an opportunity to be recognized by others."

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

“It’s a gimmick, but it’s also a real attempt to find opportunities for them. It’s a three-pronged approach.”

"Yes." Chen Ziyan nodded.

"Too strong." Lu Yanhe sighed, "You are still you, and you have to be you. Even if they don't get a good script tailored for them in the end, this program has deepened the impression and label of good actors. Such industry-oriented and professional programs are watched by many people in the industry, and they are also seen by film and television companies, producers and directors. When there are roles that cannot be cast - often complex and difficult roles that cannot be cast, they will think of them, and they have more opportunities. The most important thing is that the popularity and commercial value they have because of "The Birth of the Actors" can also continue, and they will not slowly become outdated due to the lag in filming, and no one will know them."

Chen Ziyan smiled.

"I do think so."
-
Chen Ziyan's business ability has always been perfect.

Lu Yanhe never questioned this point.

However, since Chen Ziyan already has a clear plan for them, why should she let him come over?

Just to give his opinion on the matter?
Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan doubtfully.

Chen Ziyan said: "I hope that no matter what, at the end of this show, Linghe can provide them with a good project and a good role."

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

Chen Ziyan said: "It's not for these actors, but since this program is a documentary, and it will show the actual situation of so many industries, I hope the final result is not in vain. For the public, if they don't get a good show, the result is in vain."

Lu Yanhe said, "If that's the case, to be honest, Sister Zi Yan, it's not a good idea for Linghe to guarantee the project, right? Who doesn't know the relationship between Linghe and Shihuo? This feels like Wang Po is bragging about her own products."

Chen Ziyan: "There are so many actors signed by Shihuo, and 90% of them have never acted in Linghe's drama. For an actor, the key is the role, and only the role will remain in the audience's mind."

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Okay, since you said so, I can guarantee that there will be Linghe's project to support them."
-
At noon, Lu Yanhe had lunch with Chen Ziyan and Lu Qingzhen.

All of Lu Yanhe’s business cooperation, including endorsements, is personally handled by Lu Qingzhen.

Lu Yanhe took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and thanked Lu Qingzhen.

Lu Qingzhen smiled and joked, "Are you satisfied with my work? Aren't you going to fire me after thanking me?"

Lu Yanhe: "How dare I?"

Lu Qingzhen's laughter is like a silver bell, very clear.

She said, “Actually, you know what?”

Suddenly, she left the question in suspense.

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned and asked, "What?"

Lu Qingzhen said: "The brands you work with are very concerned about one thing. They ask me about it almost every quarter. Do you know what it is?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head suspiciously and looked at Chen Ziyan.

He saw helplessness on Chen Ziyan's face.

Obviously, Chen Ziyan had guessed what Lu Qingzhen wanted to say.

"What is it? I can't guess." Lu Yanhe shook his head.

Lu Qingzhen smiled and blinked, and said jokingly in an elder sister manner: "Everyone wants to know when you will hold your wedding. They can't wait to sponsor your wedding."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Hearing this answer, everyone was stunned.

This was a direction he had never thought of.

Lu Qingzhen: "I guess you and Siqi have only been together for a few years, so I have to ask you for your opinion to facilitate my subsequent communication with these brands. Are you willing to let these brands sponsor your wedding?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head without hesitation.

"I don't want my wedding to be a circus."

Lu Qingzhen shook her head, and suddenly took out her wallet from her bag, pulled out five hundred-yuan bills, and placed them in front of Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yanhe looked at this scene in surprise and asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Ziyan: "She made a bet with me. I said that this matter is absolutely non-negotiable. She said that if you hesitate for even a second, I will lose. Well, I won."

She beamed.

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Lu Qingzhen looked at Lu Yanhe lovingly.

"I can't wait to see what your child looks like." She suddenly thought of something and was shocked. "You won't go back and buy the ticket later, will you?"

"..." Lu Yanhe blushed for a moment.

Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at Lu Qingzhen and said, "Don't talk nonsense." (End of this chapter)
