Become Famous Another Day

Huang Kairen has recently been worrying about which one to choose between the two movie scripts "One Shot" and "Yesterday Comes Again".

Huang Kairen would like to hear Lu Yanhe’s views on these two scripts.

"After "Rouge" was released, more and more film producers sent me scripts, but the quality of the scripts was relatively average. It was only recently that I received two good scripts, which I think are pretty good." Huang Kairen Said, "But what's very frustrating is that the two movies were launched at the same time, and the schedules collided. Otherwise, I would have wanted to follow both movies."

Lu Yanhe picked up the two scripts Huang Kairen gave him.

"Then I can't give you an answer right away tonight. I have to read these two scripts first." Lu Yanhe said.

Huang Kairen nodded.

"OK."

Lu Yanhe took the script and returned to his hotel.

　　　"One Hit" and "Yesterday Again" are very different types of films. The former is a black suspense crime film with a bit of absurd elements, and the latter is an adventure film with a soft science fiction color.

 After Lu Yanhe took a shower, he sat on the bed and read the scripts, starting with "To the Point".

This story tells the story of five people and five lines. The five people are all related to a hospital. Some work in this hospital, some treat diseases in this hospital, and some are students studying in medical school. Their identities and occupations are all different. different.

All five of them had ulterior motives. As a result, their actions crashed and the hospital fell into an unexpected crisis (actually, they lost a virus sample by mistake. Once the virus was released, That is an irreversible disaster), causing things to go in an unexpected direction.

This screenwriter is very good at telling stories and has a strong sense of imagery. Lu Yanhe can almost picture the corresponding images in his mind just by reading the script.

The ending of the story is that five people, driven by guilt, finally had to work together to retrieve the virus sample. In the end, during the process of tracing the virus sample, they realized that it was not lost by them at all. , someone stole it intentionally.

The end of the story is that these five people incredibly cooperated, fought wits and weapons with the gang that had stolen the virus samples, defeated each other, and took back the samples.

To put it simply, this is a story that sounds very nonsense at first because there are too many coincidences and coincidences. However, the screenwriter has written one link after another, and there is no flaw in the logic, so that it will not make people confused. After reading this story, I basically don’t know how to think about the bugs in it rationally. I am carried along by the story all the way, and only "Holy shit", "Can this be done like this?" and "Absolutely" are left. sigh.

 Good script.

This is what Lu Yanhe judged immediately after reading it.

 What is a good script?

Lu Yanhe’s standard is actually not high. For him, it is a script that makes people want to read it and want to know the ending of the story.

 A story that has bugs or poisonous points is actually not a fatal injury.

 A story is a devastating disaster if it makes people unable to read it.

 In the comment sections of many similar movies, many viewers actually leave messages saying that this bug is too obvious, that it is too insulting to the IQ, etc.

 It is not wrong to say that they were wrong, they were right. However, what they fail to understand is that the audiences who like this type of film do not like the impeccable logical buttons, but the reversal that this type of film brings to them, which is like a roller coaster-like plot development. The basis of its setting is "anti-daily life" based on reality.

For example, the American movie "Flypaper", such as the Indian movie "The Tuner".

Lu Yanhe sent a message to Huang Kairen: I have finished reading "To the Point". It is a very exciting story and a good script. It is worthy of your acting. I am now starting to read "Yesterday Comes Again".

 Huang Kairen: OK!

If "One Shot" is a plot development that drives people forward like a bulldozer, "Yesterday Comes Again" is a soft science fiction story with a little freshness and passion.

It is about a 28-year-old man who had a big problem with a project he was working on. The related materials were substandard, which directly caused the project worth hundreds of millions to go bankrupt. He was deeply hit. After being fired from the company, he decided to return to his hometown.

However, when he got on the high-speed train back to his hometown, he woke up and found that he was back to yesterday again.

 He entered a time loop, and Yuming became an inseparable Yuming.

In such a time loop, he can only experiment and explore his situation again and again, trying to find a way out of the time loop.

 In the process, he unexpectedly discovered clues to the truth behind the project that he failed at, so he dug out the truth again and again.

In the process, he unexpectedly discovered that Li Nan, a female colleague in the company, had a crush on him. Liu Dong, his boss who had been taking care of him, had actually been digging holes for him. The company's cleaner turned out to be a spy sent by a rival company and had always been at odds with him. The colleague I dealt with was the only one who spoke for him after the project failed...

In such a time loop, he discovered many truths that were once unknown. With everyone's help, he finally found evidence, rectified his name, and ushered in a reversal in his life.

 …

Lu Yanhe scratched his head.

 The script "Yesterday Comes Again" is actually quite well written. Moreover, this is an absolute male protagonist script. Compared with "To the Point", "Yesterday Comes Again" actually gives Huang Kairen much more room for expression.

There are many comedy elements in the script of the latter. Lu Yanhe laughed many times during the reading process. At the end, the scene where the male protagonist leads his team of protagonists to expose the boss's conspiracy was also very burning and passionate.

Lu Yanhe can probably understand why Huang Kairen is entangled in these two scripts.

 For an actor, the most difficult choice is to choose one of the two scripts he wants to act in.

However, in fact, if Huang Kairen's situation is not taken into account, Lu Yanhe himself prefers the script "To the Point".

The script "Yesterday Reappears" is a bit like a Japanese hot-blooded comic. It is good-looking, but it is more or less superficial and has a cartoonish feel that is divorced from reality.

 It’s not that Lu Yanhe doesn’t like the sense of comics, but given a background like the workplace, if there are too many comics, it will make him feel very giddy. But this is a matter of personal aesthetics.

 It was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

Lu Yanhe sent a message to Huang Kairen and asked: Brother Huang, are you asleep?

  Huang Kairen: I’ve been waiting for your news.

Lu Yanhe made a call directly.

“I have finished reading both scripts.” Lu Yanhe said with a smile, “Both scripts are very interesting and can be read in one sitting.”

Huang Kairen: "I said the same, what do you think? Which one should I play?"

"You make your own decision on this. I'll just tell you my feelings." Lu Yanhe said, "First of all, "To the Heart" is an ensemble play, but because of the group play, everyone basically appears in one scene. It's all the essence, there's nothing overly dramatic, it's basically a drama right from the beginning, and it has a lot of room for expression. And because it plays with a structure, the whole story takes place in a hospital environment. At least when I read the script, it felt like it. It has a very strong sense of stage, and the script basically spells out all the editing points. I can basically imagine how the movie will be presented. It can be said that the script has been very solid-no matter which director is filming it, as long as it is filmed. He followed the script, so at least the rhythm of the story will not be messed up. Do you know who the director of this movie is?"

 Huang Kairen said: "The director of "One Shot" is a new director. He was an editor before and had edited "Upstairs"."

Lu Yanhe reacted, no wonder.

“Is he also the screenwriter?” Lu Yanhe asked.

Huang Kairen said: "He is one of the screenwriters."

""Yesterday Comes Again" is also a very interesting story from the perspective of script, but it is not as mature as the script of "The Hit". If it is put in the hands of a good director, it can produce a good story. It's a very comic and light-hearted film. I personally think it may be especially popular with young audiences. However, if the director is average and not good, the subject matter and the form of expression can actually make the film look plastic. , it’s just hard to believe this story.”

 Lu Yanhe expressed his feelings directly from the perspective of shooting.

“The whole style is actually quite exaggerated. The more it is like this, the more it depends on the director’s style. If it is played well, the audience will have fun along with it. If it is played badly, it will be a disaster.”

Huang Kairen said: "You actually know the director of "Yesterday Comes Again"."

“Huh?” Lu Yanhe was stunned, “Who is it?”

 “Wu Zhouyou, director of “The Gold Rush.”

Lu Yanhe was surprised.

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe found it hard to imagine that Wu Zhouyou, who was filming "The Gold Rush", suddenly came to film "Yesterday Comes Again".

 The styles and types of these two stories are also very different. They are completely opposite.

 "The Gold Rush" is realism and thriller.

Huang Kairen said: "This is his first time as a film director."

Lu Yanhe said: "I can't say for sure, because although I know him, I have never talked to him. I don't know if he fits the style of "Yesterday Comes Again"."

　　"If it were you, would you take on "To the Heart"?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe admitted, ""Yesterday Comes Again"...For me, in fact, my judgment is not worthy of your reference, because I did not make this decision based on the quality of the script, but my own decision. In terms of aesthetics, I prefer the genre of "To the Heart". Moreover, I have no experience of working. I have just graduated from college. Maybe the theme of "Yesterday Comes Again" will be particularly empathetic to many office workers. After all, the main plot of the movie is throwaway. Not to mention opening the time loop, it’s just a counterattack in the workplace.”

Huang Kairen pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, I prefer the book "To the Point". However, this book is not a drama with a big male protagonist. Although they will give me a try, in terms of the drama, it must be It's not as good as "Yesterday", which gives me a very large performance space. This is where I hesitate."

 Huang Kairen’s current career as an actor is at a critical juncture.

Having just won the Best Actor Award, will he be able to continue to make steady progress in the film industry, or will he be a short-lived flash in the pan, and will not achieve good results if he acts in films later on?

For Huang Kairen, the former moved him more because of the script, but the role, scenes and director were not as good as the objective conditions of "Yesterday Comes Again".

Of course it is impossible for an actor to take a role exactly according to his own preferences. Many actors have acted in five or six plays, but they may not be able to play a play that they really like. This is not even an actor who has no right to choose. Lu Yanhe remembers very clearly that Andy Lau once said that when he takes a movie, he usually takes one he likes and another one that the audience may like, in order to achieve a certain goal. kind of balance.

The same goes for Lu Yanhe himself. He didn't really like the movie "Burning" because he had to star in a blockbuster, and among the choices at the time, "Burning" was the best, so he took it.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "Brother Huang, your last movie was "Rouge Button" and you have no other movies after that. Are there any other upcoming dramas besides "Wulin Gaiden"?"

 Huang Kairen said: "There is also a workplace drama with a banking background."

Lu Yanhe said: "I would suggest you consider it based on your several upcoming dramas. "Wulin Gaiden" is a sitcom, and the other TV series is a workplace drama with a bank background. In fact, if you put it this way, "Yesterday's Return" "Now" kind of collides with them, comedy, workplace. On the contrary, "One Shot" is a genre that has not appeared in your works. "

"Yes." Huang Kairen said, "That's true. This is another concern of mine. I have never filmed this kind of drama. I don't know if people will buy it if I act in this kind of drama."

"From the perspective of scripts and themes, I think the results of these two works when released later will not be bad." Lu Yanhe said, "Whether you play "The Hit" or "Yesterday", the box office should be pretty good. , their themes are here.”

Huang Kairen: "Do you also think it would be better for me to take on "The Killing"?"

“Don’t ask me for my opinion all the time. I’ll be embarrassed if “To the Heart” is not better than “Yesterday Again”, Lu Yanhe said.

 “Haha, I believe in your vision.”

"No, I won't take this pot." Lu Yanhe immediately refused, "Actually, the best solution is to follow both scripts. If both scripts cannot be followed, my suggestion is to pick whichever one you want to take, because The results will not be bad. This is not a choice between one good and one bad, this is a choice between two delicious cakes. There is nothing to analyze, it just depends on which one you want to eat. "

 “Okay.”

“Let’s put it this way, if these two scripts came to me for investment, I would be willing to invest. You should understand my attitude.”

Huang Kairen was surprised.

-

 Actually, Lu Yanhe still didn’t say a word, but he was too embarrassed to say it—

 With the series "Wulin Gaiden", Huang Kairen doesn't have to worry about the instability of his market in recent years.

 "Wulin Gaiden" will push Huang Kairen's popularity and popularity to a peak.

In recent years, Huang Kairen has actually been able to film some of the movies he really wanted to act in. Perhaps, his acting career has gradually broadened in this way.

Lu Yanhe didn't say it because he felt that if he said so, he would be bragging.

 The first season of "Wulin Gaiden" will be released this summer.

 The warm-up has already begun.

 For this drama, Lu Yanhe has high hopes and is full of confidence.

 Because if you really want to talk about it, he has written so many scripts, and the one with the highest level of restoration is "Wulin Gaiden".

I have watched it so many times that I can almost retell many classic scenes in the original text.

Those classic lines are deeply imprinted in Lu Yanhe’s memory.

-

 Mid April.

HP's Tom White came to the set of "Fire" to meet Lu Yanhe.

Tom White comes to China more and more frequently.

The popularity of several Chinese dramas such as "Sixteenth Floor", "Seventeenth Floor", "River of Silence" and "Squid Game" on Maxine has allowed streaming media to see the value of Chinese dramas, and has also made overseas streaming media more enthusiastic about Chinese dramas. A lot.

Tom White himself attaches great importance to Lu Yanhe, but HP came into contact with Lu Yanhe late, so that the previous dramas gave Maxine the lead, and HP only got a few movies starring Lu Yanhe.

These movies certainly don’t perform poorly on HP, but compared with the drama series, they are indeed worse.

This time, Tom White came over, also wanting to communicate with Lu Yanhe about the future plans in advance.

 “I heard that the name of “Six People” was changed? It was changed to “Friends”?”

The original American TV series is actually called "Friends" in English, but it has several Chinese translations, including "Party of Six" and "Friends".

The English translation of "Six People" in Beijing and Taiwan is a direct translation from Chinese to English, and it is not called "Friends".

Tom White noticed the change in the Chinese name, so he asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "Yes, I left this show for a while, and the director was changed later, so we said that since the show itself tells the story of a group of friends, we would rename it "Friends" when we restart it. It also means we start again.”

Tom White nodded.

 “Will “Friends” still be broadcast on Maxine?”

Lu Yanhe said: "This is not the case yet. The copyright of "Six People" is still retained in the hands of Jingtai, but the development and adaptation into a new TV series version is in the hands of Yuehutai itself. Has the new version still negotiated a cooperation with Maxine? , I don’t know the news yet.”

 Tom White asked: "Do you think it would be possible to get it to play on HP?"

Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment and said: "Tom, you know, "Six" has been broadcast on Maxine for three seasons before. Although its reputation in the last two seasons was very bad, in fact, Maxine has many viewers who are loyal fans of it. I hope that a series It can be broadcast from beginning to end in one place.”

Tom White: "Would you mind if our HP snatched it away?"

Lu Yanhe smiled, spread his hands and said, "Tom, competition is a business behavior. My opinion is not important. I am only responsible for producing good content."

Tom White said: "You know, I've always wanted to work with you."

"Of course." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Tom, you are a friend I value very much."

Tom White said: "But all your dramas were taken away by Maxine, including "Squidward Game"."

Lu Yanhe said: "Tom, please believe me, this is because these projects have already been cooperated with before I met you. Maxine noticed the Chinese drama market earlier than you did, and she has cooperated with different companies very early. The partners have reached a cooperation, and I am just a creator.”

“I know, Lu, but I hope that next time you do any scene, you can tell me first, okay?” Tom White said. Lu Yanhe: “Of course, I will continue to make new dramas in the future.”

“That’s great.” Tom White nodded, “You know, I’m a fan of your movies, and I hope to have more cooperation with you. As long as it’s your project, I’ll always follow it.”

"Tom, "Wulin Gaiden" written by me will be broadcast in China this summer. Previously, you thought that the core and presentation form of this drama were too Chinese, and you were worried that foreign audiences might not be able to understand it. I suggest you Re-evaluate this drama. "Lu Yanhe said, "It may not be as popular as "Squid Game", but it will definitely be a drama that has its loyal audience. "

 Tom White nodded and said, "I will re-evaluate it."

 When Lu Yanhe mentioned "Wulin Gaiden", he actually wanted to emphasize to Tom White that he did not give every project to Maxine. He didn't lie. Maxine was able to steal so many of his dramas because when all the major streaming media were not interested in Chinese dramas, Maxine was the first international streaming platform to take a look at it.

 They did not discuss cooperation directly with Lu Yanhe.

　　"Six People's Journey" is a Beijing platform, and "Seventeen Floors" is also a Beijing platform.

 "Squid Game" is a Northern Lights video.

 As for "River of Silence", this is directly Maxine's self-produced drama.

In this case, no matter how good the relationship between Lu Yanhe and Tom White was, if that person ate the first crab first, Lu Yanhe would not be able to give Tom White the crab that the person had already eaten.

What Lu Yanhe wants to say is that it’s not that he doesn’t have other projects that he can work with, it’s just that Tom White hasn’t taken a liking to them yet.

 "Wulin Gaiden" is indeed a project that was rejected by both Maxine and HP.

Even if it is a project written by Lu Yanhe.

Their unanimous evaluation is that it is too Chinese—foreign audiences cannot understand it.

Lu Yanhe didn’t know what he couldn’t understand, but he was really not sure whether foreign audiences would like it.

 Because there are many elements in "Wulin Gaiden", really only Chinese people can feel its intention and comedy under the background of Chinese culture.

That sentence "Drink a glass of white wine and make a white (friend is like this.

“Actually, I would also like to recommend a few Chinese dramas to you. I think they can transcend cultural backgrounds and be loved by global audiences.” Lu Yanhe said.

Tom White heard this and asked: "What is it?"

Lu Yanhe said: "The Gold Rush, starring my good friend Yan Liang, tells the story of a treasure hunting group's adventure in searching for treasures in Southeast Asia. It was broadcast in our country in March. Both the ratings and the audience evaluation are very high. , this kind of subject matter, I believe that some people must have paid attention to it, and may have been negotiating. Tom, if you can get this drama to be broadcast on HP, I believe that as long as you operate it properly, it will be a good drama. An episode that brings you positive feedback.”

Tom White said: "I have indeed seen evaluation reports about this show, but I heard that the style of this show is very serious, even scary and dark, which is very difficult for an adventure series. It seems too heavy."

"Isn't this what distinguishes it from other dramas?" Lu Yanhe said, "This is a drama that I am willing to sign and recommend, because I think that by signing my name on the recommender's entry, I am It's all good."

Hearing what Lu Yanhe said, Tom White showed a somewhat solemn look.

"In addition, there is a fantasy love drama starring another good friend of mine, "Washe". It has been aired for a year, but no streaming media has bought it, which surprises me." Lu Yanhe said, "It's The production quality is very worthy of promotion in Asia, because it is a drama starring my good friend, and I watched it from beginning to end. It is very good.”

Tom White nodded.

“I will evaluate them together, Lu, I trust your vision.”

"Tom, even if I don't have many projects of my own to cooperate with you, if you are willing, I will recommend to you Chinese dramas that I think are suitable for broadcasting on HP." Lu Yanhe said, "Chinese dramas are a good choice." There is a treasure land that has not been really taken seriously. So far, both you and Maxine have focused on me, because my drama has achieved a lot of success, so in fact, if you believe me. If you are willing to give Chinese dramas more opportunities, not just to buy them and put them on the air, but to truly discover their value and formulate publicity strategies based on their themes, content and style, they will achieve greater success than you imagine. success."

Tom White said: "Lu, what kind of dramas do we buy, how much do we spend on them, and how much broadcast data and membership data does it bring us in the end? These all need to be rigorously calculated. Our annual The budget for purchasing dramas is fixed, and it is impossible for us to try projects on a large scale that have not been successful before.”

"Then let's start with "The Gold Rush" and "Washe", especially "The Gold Rush". Its starring Yan Liang is one of the starring actors in "Six People", and he has a certain reputation and fans internationally." Lu Yanhe Said, "It will surprise you."

 “Okay.” Tom White nodded.

-

 After meeting Tom White, Lu Yanhe didn’t know how Tom White talked with Yue Hutai.

By the end of April, Hu Siwei told Lu Yanhe that the rebooted "Friends" might not only be broadcast on Maxine, but may be launched on Maxine and HP at the same time.

Lu Yanhe was shocked when he heard this.

This is not a domestic TV station. It is also doing dual-channel simulcast or four-channel simulcast.

In international streaming media, basically every work is broadcast exclusively, including TV stations.

At least Lu Yanhe has never heard of this model of hookup.

 Can Maxine and HP actually sit down and reach such a cooperation?

 What makes Lu Yanhe so confused is that domestic media have already started to report on this matter.

 It is said to be the reboot of "Friends", which is the "Party of Six". It became a hit before it was filmed. It was competed by two major international streaming media. The bidding from both sides exceeded the historical record of Chinese-language dramas.

So far, although there has been no official announcement, everyone has basically acquiesced that Lu Yanhe will definitely return to "Friends", otherwise, the third season will be like that. On foreign evaluation websites, Rotten Tomatoes is rotten. At only 28%, HP is still bidding with Maxine?

 Ji Gegui, there must have been a change that made them all excited.

 The only change that can impress them is Lu Yanhe.

According to Hu Siwei's arrangement, "Friends" will appear on hot searches every once in a while, and will return to the audience's horizons with some new news, so that everyone will not forget this show and let everyone experience the third season. After the **** fight, I still look forward to it.

It can be said that this is almost an extremely rare miracle - in January, the third season was criticized all over the Internet, and in March and April, its new season was suddenly highly anticipated.

 This phenomenon has raised eyebrows in the industry.

Even if this person is Lu Yanhe, it is incomprehensible.

 The influence of one person on a project has reached such a decisive level.

Sitting in front of Shen Tailin, Jiang Lan sighed lightly.

“Now we in Beijing and Taiwan are like a clown, out of the game.” She said helplessly, “If I had been given the responsibility to do “Six People”, we would never have been in this situation no matter what.”

Shen Tailin: ""Six" is already in the past tense. Jiang Tai, how are the preparations for the second season of "Seventeen Floors" going?"

Jiang Lan said: "Don't worry, all aspects are progressing in an orderly manner, and the contracts of the actors have been signed, including Yan He. Filming is expected to start in the fourth quarter of this year and will be broadcast next summer."

Shen Tailin said: "Now "Seventeen Floors" is the most important and core project for us in Beijing and Taiwan, and there is no room for failure."

“Understood, don’t worry when I do my work.” Jiang Lan nodded, “Actually, I have another thing I want to see you for.”

Shen Tailin nodded, "You say."

"I have taken a fancy to the IP of "Pictures of the Gods". Although the previous movie version was poorly developed and stalled midway, its world view, characters and stories are all first-class. I want to develop a TV series version." Jiang Lan said, "But it's expensive to license, and I need your support."

Hearing this, Shen Tailin frowned and said, "I know "Picture of the Gods", its production cost is not low, right? Even if it is authorized, the post-production special effects will be very expensive."

"Yes." Jiang Lan nodded, "But don't worry, as long as you get the authorization, I will handle the other investments. I will attract investment for the vacant parts."

Shen Tailin asked: "Do you think such a drama and such a large investment are worth it?"

"It's worth it." Jiang Lan nodded, "Whether it's "Sixteen" or "Seventeenth Floor", they actually illustrate the truth. Only by creating an IP with a large number of loyal fans can its value reach the top position. , Otherwise, under the current general background, it is actually difficult to make a profit by broadcasting TV series in the traditional way, and the ratings are shrinking. "

"Do you want to continue to broadcast "Pictures of the Gods" exclusively on our station instead of selling it to video websites?" Shen Tailin asked.

Jiang Lan nodded and said: "After the TV station finishes broadcasting, it will be launched on the video website. The reason why "Six People" can have such high ratings is because if people want to watch this drama, they can only watch it in Beijing and Taiwan. "Picture of the Gods" is the same "Why do I want to make "Pictures of God"? Because "Pictures of God" has its own fan base. We will only broadcast it in Beijing and Taiwan in the first round. If they want to watch it, they can only watch it in Beijing and Taiwan."

Shen Tailin: "It's okay to make such an attempt in "Six People". The cost is not high and we can afford it. The early investment of "Shentu" is not of the same magnitude as "Six People"."

"Director, it's not that "Pictures of the Gods" won't be on video websites, it just has to wait until the first round of exclusive broadcasts by TV stations. With the IP influence of "Pictures of Gods", even if it can't be simulcast in the first time, video websites will definitely They will pay for it. But if it is a less famous drama, they may not buy it. According to my valuation of this drama and the production budget, the possibility of us losing money is very small. This will make many people willing to pay for it,” Jiang Lan said, “Moreover, if “Picture of the Gods” can be successful, we will not only have one series, but we will have a huge worldview that can develop different characters, different protagonists, and more. A story about the world with different storylines.”

Shen Tailin understood what Jiang Lan meant and why she wanted to buy "Pictures of the Gods".

 She has a big plan.

 However, this is a plan with great rewards if it is completed.

 Shen Tailin nodded.

Since the collapse of "Six People", Xu Bin's status in Beijing and Taiwan has also been slightly affected. In fact, under normal circumstances, the success or failure of one or two projects will not affect the status of a deputy director. However, the significance of "Six People" is quite special. Another thing, Hu Siwei's departure also gave Xu Bin a blow in the head. There were only a few people under Xu Bin who could really do things. Once Hu Siwei left, the impact would be almost as if Xu Bin had broken an arm. It is no exaggeration to say that.

 Shen Tailin and Jiang Lan basically have a "happy to see what happens" attitude.

 Xu Bin has great ambitions and is usually strong. Once such a person loses power, more people will applaud than feel sorry for him.

At this time, Jiang Lan proposed to make "The Divine Map", which was undoubtedly to grab resources from Xu Bin - there were only so many resources in Beijing and Taiwan, and no matter how big the cake was, it was limited, and each station leader would get a piece of it. Jiang Lan came to Shen Tailin today to talk about "The Divine Map" and emphasized that he needed support. Naturally, this support could only be obtained from others.

 This is for the development of Beijing and Taiwan, not Jiang Lan's own selfishness.

This is the high point of justice that Jiang Lan will occupy when speaking to Shen Tailin today, and it is also a title that gives Shen Tailin a nod.

-

 There are few permanent giants in the film and television industry, especially in China.

 This market has only been developed for 20 to 30 years, and there is not enough time to develop giants.

 So, basically, a few projects can launch an upstart, or a few projects can bring down a wealthy family.

 High investment, high return, also means high risk.

Even if it is a behemoth like Beijing and Taiwan, it cannot change the general trend, and in the trend of going with the trend, there is still competition and change within it.

If you want to stand firm and stay at the top of this industry, you must always keep your feet firmly on the right path.

 Otherwise, no matter who you are, they will be marginalized and eliminated over time.

 At the beginning of May, the temperature gradually rises, and summer is slowly coming.

 Lu Yanhe has been filming on the set of "Burning Fire" for almost a month and a half.

On this day, as soon as he came out of his dressing room and went to the set, he heard someone holding a mobile phone exclaiming and talking to others, "HP bought the overseas distribution rights of "The Gold Rush" for a purchase price of US$12 million. !”

“It’s so high?! Except for Lu Yanhe’s drama, there seems to be no other Chinese-language drama that has sold overseas distribution rights for such a high price, right?”

  “There should be none.”

Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment when he heard their discussion.

  HP bought "The Gold Rush"?

"Did you see what Tom White said? He only learned about such a Chinese drama because of Lu Yanhe's recommendation. After evaluation, he strongly agreed with Lu Yanhe's point of view and believed that this would be a drama that would be loved by audiences around the world. drama, so I bought it.”

“Is Lu Yanhe so awesome? If he recommends a drama, he can sell it for a high price of US$12 million.”

 Don’t blame them for being too shocked.

 Actually, US$12 million is not a high price.

It's just that Chinese-language dramas have always been able to play in their own market. Outside of the country, except for neighboring countries such as South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia, which can sell distribution rights, other places are generally not interested in Chinese-language dramas. Naturally, There is no way to raise the price.

 Lu Yanhe heard their discussion and immediately searched the Internet for relevant reports.

 The news was reported by Variety magazine in the United States. It was translated and sent back to China.

 The content quoted in it does contain Tom White's response. In addition to the part where they said Lu Yanhe recommended it, Tom White also said that Lu Yanhe also recommended another drama to him and they are in the process of negotiating.

 Domestic media also reported quickly.

 Basically, the media in any country hopes to see their country’s cultural products exported overseas and be recognized and liked overseas.

 This is human nature. This is not only true for Chinese people, but also for foreigners.

"The Gold Rush" was purchased by HP for the overseas distribution rights for US$12 million, which is a very rare figure. It was not sold at a bargain price, nor was it self-promotion and broadcast on an overseas TV station targeting local Chinese. It is serious about launching it on HP for a global audience.

 This kind of news is something that almost all Chinese-language media will want to report.

 Because it is a matter of pride, because of a certain sense of pride that arises spontaneously.

Lu Yanhe laughed when he saw that the news was basically true.

 The fact that "The Gold Rush" was bought by HP made him a little proud. It’s nothing more than that his recommendation was listened to by Tom White. And, obviously, since Tom White is willing to spend this price to buy this drama, it means that he also agrees with his evaluation, and "The Gold Rush" can be obtained. Foreign audiences like it.

At this time, Yan Liang suddenly called.

 “Hello?” Lu Yanhe answered the phone.

 “Did you really recommend “The Gold Rush” to Tom White?”

"I recommended it to him before. Did HP really buy "The Gold Rush"?" Lu Yanhe confirmed with Yan Liang.

Yan Liang said: "It's true. The director just confirmed this in our creative group. Everyone was very surprised."

Yan Liang added: "They asked me to thank you."

Lu Yanhe smiled and said: "I actually just mentioned it. What really attracted him was definitely because "The Gold Rush" itself is of high quality and beautiful."

Yan Liang: “You don’t need to tell me this.”

Lu Yanhe smiled.

“Director Wu also asked me when you would be free and wanted me to invite you out to have a meal together,” Yan Liang said.

Lu Yanhe said: “Okay, I’ll do it whenever I have time.”

"Okay, let's wait until you finish filming "Fire", and we will make an appointment then." Yan Liang said, "The director has been very busy recently. I heard that he is preparing for his new play, which is a movie, but it is not ready yet. It didn’t go very well.”

 “Not going well?”

"Well, I had dinner with him yesterday, and he mentioned it at the table and said that because of the subject matter, investment and casting were not going very well." Yan Liang said, "I also asked if I could do it, and the director said The protagonist is a man in his thirties with working experience, which I don’t fit.”

Lu Yanhe knew that it was actually the "Yesterday Comes Back" that Huang Kairen had shown him before.

He was a little confused: "Isn't it easy to find investors for his new movie? He just made "The Gold Rush", so it should be very popular with investors, right?"

"'The Gold Rush' is a TV series after all." Yan Liang said, "There is still a wall between TV series and movies. The director said that the film companies he talked to were more cautious about his new work, and those who were willing to invest could not give it to the director. The desired amount."
