Become Famous Another Day

Jiang Jun won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and the landscape of 40-year-old male stars in domestic entertainment was reshuffled.

Jiang Yuqian was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for post-viewing. In the past six months, her international stardom has been maintained at the top level, and her status has soared and stabilized.

Liu Zefan was not shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award, but his role as a young policeman bursting with hormones made him very popular, especially among female audiences. The appearance of a group of rich women who generously expressed their **** for his body also caused a lot of heated discussion.

Although Wang Jing's role as "Crazy Batch" didn't make her as big a hit as the previous starring roles, her attention in the country was just as high and her popularity increased rapidly.

This battle royale drama, which does not have as much stamina as "Wulin Gaiden", has once again returned to the audience's attention with Jiang Jun's gains at the Golden Globe Awards.

Jiang Jun's acceptance speech also gained great popularity on the Internet.

A story about persistence after persisting for many years and finally reaching the top.

"Squid Game" has also soared in popularity on the Maxine site, returning to the top in terms of daily views.

That’s the impact of a big award.

Winning a grand award is not only an artistic achievement and honor, but also means extremely high commercial returns.

This is why so many movies and filmmakers compete for the grand prizes at the four major international film festivals, Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes every year.

Because their corresponding commercial value is also extremely high.

So far, three actors who have starred in the script written by Lu Yanhe have helped three actors win awards.

At this moment of celebration, some extreme career fans angrily complained to Lu Yanhe: "The scripts you wrote for others, one won the domestic best actor, and the other won the foreign TV star. What about you? What if these scripts were given to you? If you act by yourself, you won’t just have a trophy for being the best actor! Can you be more enthusiastic and career-minded? If you like writing scripts for others, why don’t you become a screenwriter?”

Lu Yanhe saw this complaint and silently crossed it out.

He has been exercising his abilities in this area recently.

No explanation, no refutation, just say whatever you like.

Zeng Qiao, on the other hand, suddenly sent a message with only two words: Where am I?

Lu Yanhe: Huh?

Zeng Qiao: Isn’t there a script written for me?

Lu Yanhe: Brother, I am writing the script for the second season of "River of Silence".

Zeng Qiao: Can you give me a Best Actor award?

Lu Yanhe: I’m so stressed.

Zeng Qiao: Only when you are under pressure can you be motivated.

-

Jiang Jun won the award, and Lu Yanhe was targeted—

Mainly, the prize winning rate is too high.

In other words, Lu Yanhe's script is too flattering to the actors.

Not to mention these two dramas, "Unfortunately" made newcomer actor Wang Dashan become famous overnight, and he became nationally famous, not to mention "Six People" and "Wulin Gaiden".

The latter also used the role of Tong Xiangyu to make Liu Zi, who had never acted in a film or television drama, become famous overnight.

Someone summarized the actors who came out of the film and television dramas adapted from Lu Yanhe's scripts. After this summary, everyone discovered that the actors who starred in the film and television dramas adapted from Lu Yanhe's scripts were never ineffective acting.

Almost every role brought attention and dividends to the actor playing it.

Lu Yanhe, who was already being watched by major agencies, agents and actors because of his popular drama, is even more popular now.

Moreover, this time the actors who were attracted to Lu Yanhe's script became those who were already big names.

Those big names also want to win big prizes.

In the past 20 to 30 years, how many domestic actors have won awards at foreign awards?

In just two years, Chen Bige won the Best Actress award at the Los Angeles International Film Festival, and Jiang Jun won the Best Actress award at the Golden Globe Award.

This success rate, this gold content!

Ning Xiulian, who had just won the Venice International Film Festival, made a special call to Lu Yanhe to congratulate him, and also asked him if there was any role suitable for her. Not to mention those acting talents in China. Who doesn’t want to take a step further at this stage and become famous internationally?

When filming Lu Yanhe's drama, the drama will become popular, the person will become popular, and the success rate will be very high to win awards.

At this time, you have to get in touch with Lu Yanhe first.

How do you know him?

Who can be the introducer?

-

At this time, no one in the industry asked: What did Lu Yanhe think? Under such circumstances, he resolutely chose to attend the Blue Ribbon Award Ceremony.

Whether it is his own overseas influence at the premiere of "The Mist", or the outstanding performance of "Friends" with an average episode ratings of over 3%, or the just-released Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, they have already This fully explains one thing to everyone in this industry, Lu Yanhe does not need to care about those miscellaneous things.

For Lu Yanhe, as long as he does everything well and follows his own path, no one can shake his position.

On the day of the Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony, Lu Yanhe was the last one to walk on the red carpet.

He and Chen Siqi held hands and were greeted by Wen Yang personally, giving them enough face.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi, an already very famous couple, although usually discussed a lot, rarely appear together in public in formal occasions.

They weren't the type of couple to stick together wherever they went.

Therefore, being able to attend the Blue Ribbon Award together also gives the Blue Ribbon Award enough face.

This time, both of them were under tremendous pressure to hold up tonight's performance.

That night, Li Zhibai performed as the opening show, singing five film and television hits in a row, setting off the first wave of craze.

Awards are presented and awards are given out in sequence.

It still looked like a star-studded party, but Lu Yanhe discovered that there were indeed many nominees who did not attend.

As the top domestic award, for an awards ceremony, it is indeed abnormal to a certain extent that so many nominees did not come.

No matter how many guests there are, the protagonists are still the nominees.

There were several awards in the technical department. None of the winners came to the scene. Others received them on their behalf.

But, luckily, at least it’s all over.

The party reached its climax when Lu Yanhe took the stage.

This is a specially set up session.

"The Golden Age", "Seventeenth Floor", "River of Silence", "Squid Game", "Wulin Gaiden", "A Company of Six", "Friends"...

For every drama starring or written by Lu Yanhe, the singer of the theme song came to the scene.

Lu Yanhe stood in the corner of the stage and before the start of each song, he used his role in that play to say his most famous lines in that play.

The whole session is exquisitely arranged, some are relaxed, some are contemporary, some are exciting, some are lively.

The live broadcast on the big screen also featured Huang Kairen, Jiang Yuqian, Wang Jing, Liu Zi, He Jiang, Yan Liang, Li Zhibai, Zhan Yun and others from time to time. They are all actors in these dramas.

Most of the time, Lu Yanhe just stood in the darkness, listening to the singers singing and watching the dancers on the stage.

Those songs and dances are actually the story of that play and his memories of that play.

Lu Yanhe actually didn't feel much during the rehearsal, but at this time, he felt something inexplicably.

I have actually filmed so many works.

His eyes felt a little hot and he quickly held it back.

When the last performance ended and Lu Yanhe thought that the session was over and he could step off the stage, a VCR suddenly appeared on the big screen at the scene.

"Hi, Xiao Lu, I haven't seen you for a while." Director Luo Yuzhong appeared in the VCR.

Lu Yanhe turned around and looked at the big screen with surprise on his face and opened his mouth.

"It's an honor to be the director of your first play. Although you always say that I am your guide, I know that even if you don't meet me, with your talent, you will still shine as well as you do now." Luo Yuzhong said , "There is no way to come to Blue Ribbon with you this time Award, it’s a pity, because you have done such an amazing thing. As a teacher, I should stand by your side. When I finish filming the movie on hand, we will have dinner together. I hope we can have dinner together next time. When you get the blue ribbon, I will give you the award.”

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded.

It was as if Luo Yuzhong was really standing opposite him.

The next second, Chen Bige appeared again.

"Hi, junior brother, Xiao Yanhe." After she said that, Wang Zhong suddenly stuck his head in and asked, "Where are you recording the VCR for Yan He?"

Chen Bige pushed Wang Zhong away, "Director, don't join in the fun, the recording has officially started."

She smiled again.

"The director and I were discussing the script you wrote, "Raise the Red Lantern." He just praised me for ten minutes about the script you wrote." Chen Bige sighed, "Every time like this, I really want to know, you How can we do so many things that we can’t do at this age?”

"I have never actually said this to you, but you should know that I am very grateful that you can give me such a good script and such a good role to play." Chen Bige laughed, "From "Seventeen" "Layer" to "Rouge Button", and then to "Raise the Red Lantern". In just a few years, we have collaborated four times, and will soon collaborate for the fifth time."

When Chen Bige said this number, everyone was shocked and in an uproar.

Five collaborations... For people in the entertainment industry, it may be difficult to collaborate with one person so many times in a lifetime.

"I'm glad that when I am no longer a young girl in my twenties, I meet a creator like you."

Lu Yanhe had no idea that such a VCR would be installed for him at the Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony.

The host walked onto the stage.

"Lu Yanhe is only 22 years old this year. Such a young creator has become a heavyweight creator of our Chinese film and television dramas. Yan He, let me interview you. After completing so many high-quality works that are loved by everyone, After that, do you have any plans to share with us? I just heard that you have collaborated on a new project with Director Wang Zhong and Ms. Chen Bige, right?”

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Actually, it was written together with "Rouge Button". At that time, it was given to Sister Bi Ge. We filmed "Rouge Button" first."

"How do you manage to be so creative?"

"This -" Lu Yanhe couldn't be shy and said that he was very good at writing, so he had to say: "I don't know, maybe it's mainly because I have an advantage over other screenwriting teachers. Because of my status as an actor, basically what kind of scripts do I write? , I never have to consider other people’s opinions on any subject matter, so I can create quickly.”

This can be regarded as a reason.

For a professional screenwriter, the time he spends actually creating the script is actually not that much. What consumes the most time and energy is the creative ideas and revision opinions coming from all directions, as well as too many inexplicable revisions.

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "You just happened to ask, and I would also like to appeal to everyone to have more trust in the creator, leave criticism and scrutiny before deciding to cooperate with him, and once the decision is made, give the creative autonomy to the creator. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to produce good works.”

"Yan He said that is great." The host praised.

Many people in the audience were applauding wildly.

"So, Yan He, last question? In fact, you have worked with all kinds of directors and actors, including big names who have already won numerous honors, and newcomers who are just starting out. Can you share with us, who are you? How is it that after working with so many people, we all work well together and there are never any disputes or conflicts? "

Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment and said: "I really can't give any general reasons. Let me talk about the common characteristics of the crews I participated in. First, basically every crew I participated in Before the crew officially started filming or made preparations, they held several script reading meetings. We had a lot of doubts, discussions and disputes about characters, lines, and understanding. In fact, we had already completed this stage and we would not go to the filming site. Just showed up.”

"Second, it seems that our crew has never spent too much energy on things other than creation." Lu Yanhe laughed, "Who has more roles, who has less roles, whose role is in the front, whose role is in the back."

Many people at the scene laughed.

"The last thing is, if you have anything to say, say it directly. Don't keep it in your heart. Whether you are dissatisfied or have different opinions, you must speak out." Lu Yanhe smiled, "Actually, I want to say that many young people who have cooperated with us must speak out. Partner, we had some friction in the beginning. We didn’t have a good relationship from the beginning, but because we always said what we had to say directly, and no matter what, everyone was acting seriously, so we gradually understood each other later. "When talking about this place, Lu Yanhe felt that he was still being hypocritical.

However, in this situation, he couldn't say that he didn't like Li Yuefeng because he thought he was too utilitarian at first, and Zeng Qiao was alienated because he didn't like his idol status at first.

-

But for other people present, the effect that Lu Yanhe could say these words on such an occasion actually had far-reaching significance.

Especially the script reading.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that after he said this, several winners mentioned script reading when they came on stage to receive their awards and give speeches.

"Script reading is very important for the crew. We spend a few more days in the first place, and everyone sits together to sort out the script and communicate about the shooting situation. During the subsequent shooting, the efficiency and quality can be doubled without exaggeration." This is What the Best Cinematography winner said.

Then, inexplicably, everyone's speeches slowly began to focus on "how to shoot a good work and how to do your own job well." The award ceremony slowly began to turn into a year-end debriefing conference and industry discussion. It’s a conference…

When it was announced that the winner of Best Actor was Liu Yu, many people's first reaction was to come and see Lu Yanhe.

After all, everyone knew that he and Yan Liang were good enough to wear the same pair of pants, but Yan Liang didn't win the prize.

Lu Yanhe had expected it and managed his expression very well, so he applauded heartily.

Yan Liang was also applauding.

Because I already knew that my chances of winning the prize were slim, I didn’t have high expectations.

The subsequent Best Actress winner was Lan Lin, an actress in her early thirties.

These two actors are both actors who are relatively familiar to the audience, but are not very popular and popular. They are old faces but have few fans. The winning works this time are all realistic-themed works that they have always been deeply involved in. The broadcast data is not bad, the audience is large, and everyone agrees with their performance - but they have not been converted into fans.

In this case, Chen Lingling gave them two grand prizes, which was actually a very strong signal.

It has to be a good performance, and it has to be a performance that the audience recognizes.

Tonight's grand prize winners were almost no surprises. All the winners were considered capable of winning the prize from the beginning.

Fortunately, these winners all attended tonight's award ceremony.

There was no embarrassing situation where no one claimed the most popular awards.

On the contrary, those who did not attend the award ceremony actually had little hope of winning the award from the beginning.

After the award ceremony, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi went to the celebration dinner hosted by Boya, the sponsor of this award ceremony.

As soon as the two of them appeared, someone came over to say hello.

Almost everyone is asking about what dramas he is preparing for next and whether there are any roles suitable for them.

Lu Yanhe only said that he does have several dramas in the pipeline, but they have not yet entered the casting stage. After entering the casting stage, he will definitely send audition invitations to everyone.

At this time, Lu Yanhe said he wanted to audition again, and there were far fewer actors who expressed disbelief.

They were used to not auditioning to get roles in other crews, so they were more or less familiar with Lu Yanhe's habits and knew Lu Yanhe's requirements.

In fact, many actors are reluctant to audition. It’s not because their acting skills are bad and they don’t dare to audition. It’s because when they reach the age of thirty to forty, they are no longer young people who have just debuted. They have gained a certain degree of popularity and industry status. When others don't have to audition to get roles, if they need to audition, they will look particularly inferior, so they all use "not auditioning" as a symbol of their status.

Nowadays, no one objects to Lu Yanhe's audition requirements, also because it has become a well-known thing in the industry that Lu Yanhe has to audition for his plays, so auditioning by yourself is no longer special.

To put it bluntly, many things are exaggerated by the media as if they are problems of artists and actors. In fact, many times, behind them are problems of the general environment.

The environment is the big dye vat.

-

The day after the Blue Ribbon Awards, "The Mist" officially began to be released in the United States and simultaneously in Europe.

Other countries and regions will follow suit one after another.

South Korea in three days.

Horror movies like this, except for Japan, which will be delayed for a period of time due to special release policies, other places will release them as soon as possible because of the high timeliness.

Lu Yanhe set off for South Korea to attend the screening event in South Korea with everyone.

So, the moment the first-day box office numbers for The Mist came out, they were all in it together.

"The Fog" took in 12.5 million at the Friday and Sunday box office in the United States, which was the same as the forecast agency's estimate. Previously, box office estimates from forecasting agencies had adjusted the total US box office to between US$80 million and US$100 million.

The better news is that "The Mist" has a very good reputation among audiences, with a score of 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a very good score for a horror film.

However, everyone also knows that according to the urinary nature of horror movies, it is actually difficult to have a long-term success in terms of box office and Rotten Tomatoes.

The results in the first and second weeks are the big ones.

The box office performance on the first weekend basically determines the fate of the movie, whether it is a success or a failure.

If the box office in the first weekend can reach more than 40 million, then this movie can be described as a "big success", because the first weekend in North America relied on the box office to recover the cost, but if the box office in the first weekend does not come More than 40 million, even if the total box office in the end still exceeded 60 million, the money was recovered, and profits were achieved, but it cannot be described as "a great success".

Of course, in fact, for Lu Yanhe, this movie has already allowed him to "return to his roots" before it is released.

The early promotion strategy of this movie made him famous in Europe and the United States. He is more famous than many actors who have acted in four or five movies in Europe and the United States—

Moreover, Lu Yanhe's performance in this film has received high praise from the American media and film critics.

This has actually put Lu Yanhe in the sights of many film companies, producers and directors.

Not to mention, those film studios that are very concerned about the Chinese box office market.

Several scripts have been sent before this.

Judging from the number of Asian characters in Hollywood scripts and the fact that the movies have not yet been released, this sign is already very unusual.

It shows that Hollywood is also very optimistic about him.

However, none of the scripts that have been found so far are satisfactory to Chen Ziyan.

They are all very iconic Asian characters, full of stereotypes, not as rich as the Asian ghost character in "The Mist".

Totally unworthy of Lu Yanhe.

Chen Ziyan declined all of them. Of course, her refusal was not in vain. When she declined each script, she recommended several Chinese actors with relatively high suitability for the roles.

After all, although these scripts are not suitable for Lu Yanhe, they may not be an opportunity for other actors.

Especially those actors who don’t have many film appointments or who want to open up overseas markets.

-

In South Korea, almost no one knows Lily Williams. On the contrary, Lu Yanhe is a big star in their group.

The media and the people at the scene were almost all here for him.

Lily Williams was surprised. She said, "I thought you were only so popular in China. Haven't Koreans always disliked you Chinese?"

"Well, we don't see them much, but this does not affect the spread of our literary, film and television works." Lu Yanhe said, "I have a few dramas that are quite popular in South Korea, and their TV stations have adapted them for remakes."

Lu Yanhe also did not expect that Lily Williams would directly say "Don't Koreans always dislike you Chinese?"

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and then added: "Lily, to be precise, there are many behaviors in South Korea that make us Chinese very angry. We have not stolen their culture and festivals."

Lily Williams: "...Okay."

Lily Williams asked again: "But, Lu, I want to know, if you don't like Korea so much, how do you feel when you face so many Koreans who like you?"

"These are two different things. To be precise, it's not that I don't like South Korea, I don't like South Korea as it is now." Lu Yanhe said, "I have always hoped that this world can truly seek common ground while reserving differences and respecting each other, although I also know that , this is almost impossible, competition is inevitable, and contradictions will never disappear. However, at least we should have a balance between right and wrong. Let me tell you that I don’t like South Korea, at least I can tell that I don’t. The reason why I like it, I am not deliberately looking for trouble, nor am I arrogantly discriminating against a certain country.”

Lily Williams asked thoughtfully: "So do you like America?"

Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Between the two of us, because we are friends, if you like China, I like the United States."

Lily Williams thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's not dwell on these issues."

"You really don't have to worry about it. Apart from issues of principle, being friends with you is just a matter between the two of us. It's still the same sentence: seek common ground while reserving differences." Lu Yanhe said, "I know you, and you know me. If you want to gain your own interests by harming others, you all want world peace, and that’s enough, right?”

Lily Williams nodded thoughtfully.

"I'm surprised that you can tell me this." Lily Williams said, "I have also met several Chinese directors and actors, and they are always very secretive about such topics, which makes me very confused. , why can’t you discuss these issues.”

"Because it's too sensitive, it's easy to be misunderstood, and it's even easier to be interpreted maliciously, so it's better not to say anything." Lu Yanhe explained, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so specific. I've been in contact with you and known you for so long, and I know You and I are friends and you won’t distort or spread my words, so I told you.”

Lily Williams sighed and said, "Well, there are a lot of people in Hollywood who like to distort and spread other people's words."

What Lu Yanhe wanted to say was actually not Hollywood, but since Lily Williams said so, he just laughed and said nothing.

After the screening in South Korea, they were interviewed by South Korea's TVN TV station.

Meanwhile, Saturday's box office numbers are also out.

The box office of "The Fog" in the United States on Saturday was slightly higher than that on Friday, with a box office of 14.3 million.

This puts "The Mist"'s opening weekend box office very likely to exceed $40 million.

If this result can be achieved, the total box office of "The Mist" will most likely exceed 100 million.

When everyone in the crew found out about this result, they cheered together and went to a bar to have a drink to celebrate.

Lu Yanhe was originally going to go with him, but TVN's Kim Yeon-sook suddenly contacted him and said that Korean director Kim Ji-yeon learned that he came to Korea and wanted to meet him.

Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this familiar name.

This is a great Korean director. He had previously thought about asking Sang Young-joo to act, but because some conditions could not be agreed upon, Sang Young-joo withdrew.

Director Kim Ji-yeon is one of the great directors in South Korea who is better at integrating business and art. The works have won awards at international film festivals, and the box office in South Korea is also very high. The number of viewers of several movies has exceeded 10 million. The statistics of Korean movie box office are based on the number of movie viewers, which is very different from other places. no the same.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while, told Chen Ziyan, and decided to meet director Jin Zhiyan.

According to Chen Ziyan, his next step is to become an international director and work with directors from different countries—he has not yet cooperated with a Korean director.

However, after Chen Ziyan received his message, she sent a message: It's okay to meet, but be careful and don't agree to anything. This person has a strong sense of locality and may not give you a good role. He thought before I tried to find Shang Yongzhou to cooperate, but the contact was not very pleasant.

Lu Yanhe replied: Okay, I understand.

Chen Ziyan: But he is a great director. No matter what, you should respect him a little, especially since you are now internationally famous and influential. He may deliberately show that he does not care about your aura because of this. I have never been in contact with this person, so I can’t make any comments, but from what I learned from various channels, this director is both arrogant and inferior at heart. If he says some harsh words to you, how can you bear it? It’s better to endure it first, this is Korea, and others suffer the consequences of not being familiar with the place.

Lu Yanhe: Okay, I understand.

Chen Ziyan: No, I have to explain to Zou Dong that you can bring more bodyguards.

Lu Yanhe: ...Sister Ziyan, I just went to have a friendly chat with a director, not to fight with anyone.

Chen Ziyan: It’s a good idea to be more prepared and cautious in a foreign country. Who knows what will happen.

Lu Yanhe: You made me suddenly nervous. (End of chapter)
