Become Famous Another Day

Chen Siqi didn’t mean that he had to go to a certain position when he jumped.

However, "Jump Up" is now a top domestic magazine. Monthly sales have dropped slightly after annual inventory, but the January issue has remained stable at 350,000 copies.

For her, she always believes that anything she does must be "a boating against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."

If you think that "jumping up" and achieving the current achievement is already very good, and you start to "guard the country" from now on, then the country may only be smaller and smaller.

"Being an artist brand can further enhance our popularity and influence in various vertical fields, and on the other hand, it can also help us maintain good relationships with artists in various fields." Chen Siqi said, "For them, curatorial and cross-field cooperation, all require a professional institution to help them manage them, which is also the direction we can explore."

"However, we 'jump up' now, there are no people in this area, and we need to integrate resources," said Lin Yu.

"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "Let's choose internally to see if there are suitable candidates to cultivate. If not, please find a headhunter company to help us find it outside."

As soon as the meeting was over, everyone scattered into fish and beasts.

Lin Yu and the others stayed.

She said: "This time, why didn't you accompany Yan He?"

"He only stayed for two days this time, so I was too lazy to go." Chen Siqi said, "There are so many things here. How are the preparations for this year's second International Film Critics Film Festival?"

"I'm already in contact with film critics, because the first session has received a good response, and our work this year will be much better." Lin Yu said bluntly, "Everyone knows what kind of film festival this is, so I have fewer concerns. However, when it comes to film selection, I'm struggling whether it's necessary to choose "The Big Red Lantern" and "The Rainy Season".

"Our film festival is too close to Citur in June." Chen Siqi said, "regardless of whether these two films will win awards in Citur, they have just been on Citur and have experienced a relatively large round of publicity exposure and discussion. I personally recommend not to put it in the film list."

Lin Yu nodded, "Then our views are consistent."

Chen Siqi said: "It's Huang Tianlin, director of "Tropical Rainy Season", I remember that his previous directorial debut had a good response at the Toronto Film Festival, and his evaluation was very high. Maybe we can put this movie on the list and then invite Huang Tianlin to have a conversation with film critics."

Linyu said, "Okay, I'll go and communicate with his film company."

"It's just a pity that Yan He played a supporting role in "Rainy Season" this time. Otherwise, he might be able to directly win the best actor of the Situer Film Festival." Xu Zijun said.

Bai Yu asked: "The best actor at the Xituer Film Festival is not only evaluated for the male lead, right? I remember that the international film festival generally evaluated not the Best Actor and Best Actress, but the Best Actor and Best Actress. In the past, there were also supporting actors who won awards."

"That's true, but in fact, there are only a few. It's really because the judges of that class like this actor too much." Chen Siqi was just talking, and suddenly was stunned, because she suddenly thought that there was Liu Bigo in the jury of this class of Citur, "No way?"

The thoughts that came out of her mind made her feel a little unbelievable.

-

The screening of "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" was very successful.

As Lu Yanhe expected, this movie is a film that is extremely suitable for international film festivals. The media and film critics have highly praised it. As soon as the scores of the magazine came out, they jumped first.

Chen Bige's performance also made her regarded as the seed contestant of the best actress of this year's Situer Film Festival.

Although Li Yuefeng only made a guest appearance in it, he also appeared on the red carpet and interview seat of Citur with the crew, and appeared at the top international film festivals with his works for the first time.

He himself is very happy.

But what made him a little depressed was that except for the domestic media, no one discussed his appearance or performance in the film.

Lu Yanhe attended several official activities with the crew and completed his publicity work.

Li Yuefeng said to him again: "Yan He, what movie do you need me to act next time? I am willing to play a friendly guest appearance like "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High". You can also find me more, and I want to come to such an international film festival."

To be honest, he wants to come to the film festival—

Among the first-line stars Lu Yanhe knows, it seems that Li Yuefeng is the only one.

To a certain extent, Li Yuefeng and Jiang Yuqian are very similar.

The concept of this image refers to their very frank attitude towards facing their ambitions, desires and desires for fame and fortune, and will not pretend to be noble or elegant.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said yes.

However, he also said bluntly: "If you want to get greater attention at international film festivals, you should work with the best art film directors in China, star in their movies, and bring the movies you star in. The attention you get is completely different."

Li Yuefeng: "I wonder, how could my agency allow me to reduce my pay and spend several months acting in an art film? Only your film, OK, they won't talk nonsense."

Lu Yanhe: "Of course you have to fight for this. Before, Yan Liang wanted to act some of the scenes he wanted to act, but his agent also disagreed. They negotiated many times and finally gave in to each other. Yan Liang cooperated with their work, and they would also give Yan Liang a chance to act the scenes he wanted to act."

Li Yuefeng: "That's because Yan Liang knows what kind of play he wants to act. To be honest, I'll read the script's ability. That's it. I think the script is good, others may not think it's good, or if I come across a good script in the future, I'll ask you for your opinion?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "I can recommend scripts to you, but I'm afraid of recommending scripts to others. There is a very important reason because others always think that the scripts I recommend will definitely be successful, which puts a lot of pressure on me. I can only judge from the level of the script, whether this is a good script or a bad script, whether this role is suitable for acting, is it challenging, but you also know whether the script can be successful, although the script is important, and more importantly, the director is the team."

Li Yuefeng: "If it is the script you recommend, I will be willing to use my own strength to arm it. Really, I am even willing to invest by myself."

"Don't be impulsive. There is something to say, art films, nine out of ten will lose, including myself." Lu Yanhe said, "I have actually invested in many small-cost films in China, and rarely can really make a profit."

Li Yuefeng was surprised.

"Really? Everyone says you are a person with a very accurate vision, will you fail?"

"Of course, I can't predict the future." Lu Yanhe said, "You have to think clearly about it yourself. I know that you may not really regard film art as art, but you can act. There is no doubt that you are under the command of a good director, and you will be a good actor, so I told you all this. Although you don't have so many artistic pursuits, you can help some directors who have not yet become famous. But the problem is that it is definitely not something that can be achieved by one movie or two movies. You must be prepared for long-term efforts without rewards."

Li Yuefeng pondered for a moment and asked, "Then do you think that even if you work hard for a long time, there will be no reward. Should I do it?"

"Should." Lu Yanhe nodded, "You are an actor who can act. You can not only be a traffic star. People will gradually lose the most original popularity and attention brought by their appearance as they grow older. At this time, you need industry influence, acting skills, and social recognition in a more popular sense. If you can support many art film directors by yourself in these years, even if you don't win any awards in the end, the industry will have different views on you. Not to mention, from the perspective of secular values, you may be able to win awards with a good work, further enhance your influence, and even become a bigger actor."

"Okay." Li Yuefeng nodded, "Since you said that, I'll do it."

"ha?"

"I trust you very much." Li Yuefeng said, "Only you can tell me the truth."

“It’s impossible.”

"Really, I told the company that I want to act in a more serious and valuable film. They think I am not that material, there is no need to waste time, and it also feels that it will affect my popularity and commercial value. Sometimes I talk to other directors and producers. Although they all like me to act in their films, I can actually feel that their positioning of me is a big star, who can attract investment and help projects gain greater attention." Li Yuefeng said, "You don't look down on my utilitarian purpose, and you can affirm my acting skills. You are still willing to help me, only you."

Lu Yanhe: "Then believe me. As you slowly open your circle, you will meet more people who are willing to help you. In the past, you must have been too conservative and locked yourself in the same circle and stopped dating others."

Li Yuefeng: "Then I admit that I am not a person who is good at dealing with others. Sometimes, I assume that all my colleagues are competitive and I don't want to be friends with them. It's too fake. I always feel that there is no real friendship in the entertainment industry."

Lu Yanhe: "Where is me?"

"To be honest, if it weren't for the huge gap between me and you, I wouldn't think we could really be friends." Li Yuefeng said honestly.

Lu Yanhe smiled, "I don't know why you have such a thought. Maybe it has something to do with what you encountered when you entered this industry from the beginning, but your ideas will change, really."

Li Yuefeng shrugged.

"Hope."

Lu Yanhe: "Let's go back and help me act in a movie, the second male lead, how about it?"

"Who is the male lead?" Li Yuefeng asked, "I won't use the male lead who is worse than me as a stepping stone."

Lu Yanhe was amused and crying.

Li Yuefeng is Li Yuefeng. He never hides his own ideas. Even with such ideas, he can clearly say it in a more tactful way and less hurtful way. But this is exactly the important reason why Lu Yanhe is obviously very different from his personality and his values ​​are not very similar, but he is still able to become friends.

"Li Zhibai." Lu Yanhe said.

Li Yuefeng pondered for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay."

"Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses." Lu Yanhe said, "This movie will definitely have good results."

Li Yuefeng: "Is that true?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "And you will definitely receive a lot of attention, not a stepping stone."

"Okay." Li Yuefeng said, "Then you go back and give me the script, and I'll tell the company that they don't make things difficult for them."

"It's okay, just be a man and a man. If they want to turn off this movie due to reasons other than the second male lead, then this company has no vision." Lu Yanhe said, "You can also consider changing companies. I don't need your friendly support in all aspects. Everything is done according to the market conditions."

Li Yuefeng looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.

"You have to know that even if I play the second male lead, if I don't say hello, the company will pay according to my normal movie pay."

"Open it." Lu Yanhe nodded, "As long as I don't speak loudly, I don't want any participants to suffer any losses when I do any film and television project, unless I'm not profitable from the beginning. I will tell you clearly that this is not a commercial project."

Li Yuefeng stared at Lu Yanhe with amazement.

"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"

"Tell me the truth, so I'll tell you the truth," said Lu Yanhe.

Li Yuefeng: "You are really admirable, I am really convinced of you."

Lu Yanhe had a bright smile: "Can you win people with virtue?"

"If you only have virtue, then I'm not that convinced," said Li Yuefeng.

Lu Yanhe: "...Oh, sometimes I hope you don't be so direct to me."

-

In the evening, Lu Yanhe met Huang Tianlin and Huang Feng who had just arrived in Situer.

Huang Feng has started school and has taken a special leave.

He is the number one protagonist in "The Rainy Season", and it is impossible for him not to appear.

There is actually a very critical reason why the two of them came here so late. Their company does not have that much budget, so they can live here for so long. They even went back one day with Lu Yanhe.

After tomorrow's screening ends, Huang Tianlin and Huang Feng will leave Situle the day after tomorrow.

This is also a very embarrassing place for independent films. Even if they were shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Citur Film Festival, they actually couldn't enjoy the glory of the film festival so easily.

Lu Yanhe invited them to have supper together.

This is not the first time Huang Tianlin has participated in the film festival, but the main competition unit of the Citur Film Festival can be said to be the temple of every director who wants to make an art film.

Huang Tianlin never expected that the movie "Rainy Season" would have such results.

This is his second movie.

After Lu Yanhe saw Huang Tianlin, he obviously felt that he was a little excited and nervous.

"The screening will be held tomorrow, director, are you looking forward to it?"

Huang Tianlin: "I have been insomnia for several nights."

"I'm a little nervous, I never thought "Tropical Rainy Season" would come to Situer." Lu Yanhe said, "You are so awesome, and the second work was shortlisted for Situer's main competition unit."

Huang Tianlin: "Isn't this a benefit from your own?"

"Is that true? Why don't I know?" Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

Producer Yuan Hai smiled and said, "If it weren't for you, Citur's film selection team might not have noticed our movie."

"So I have this effect." Lu Yanhe smiled, "I didn't plan to come this year. After all, I was just a screenwriter of "The Big Red Lantern" and suddenly told me that "The Rainy Season" was also shortlisted."

"Then you have to come, we all have to rely on you to support the game."

"No, believe me, after the screening of "Tropical Rainy Season", Director Huang will be known to the whole world." Lu Yanhe said, "I am very excited to see the final film of the movie "Tropical Rainy Season". I have watched some clips before, so I am looking forward to it."

Yuan Hai smiled mysteriously at Lu Yanhe and said, "You will be surprised."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was surprised, "Surprise?"

Yuan Hai said: "When Tianlin was editing the film, he praised your performance in part."

Lu Yanhe: "Is that true?"

He turned to look at Huang Tianlin.

This young director who was very reluctant to participate in the role at the beginning, turned his head to the other side, as if he had heard nothing.

Lu Yanhe asked: "What is the surprise?"

Yuan Hai: "You will know when you see the movie tomorrow."

Seeing that Yuan Hai refused to say it now, Lu Yanhe had to give up.

He turned to look at Huang Feng.

"Are you happy to shoot the movie "Home Imperial"?" The child's eyes were as bright as the night pearl.

"Fun!" Huang Feng was very excited, "I like it!"

Lu Yanhe guessed that Huang Feng would definitely be very happy when he filmed "The Little Owner".

There are so many props that tease people in it, so how can I try them out one by one?

Huang Feng asked: "They said that this movie will have a sequel, right?"

Lu Yanhe nodded: "Yes, we are planning to shoot another movie this summer, but in this way, you will not have summer vacation."

Huang Feng: "I don't need summer vacation, I want to film "Hometown Imperials."

At the beginning, "Home Imperial" was originally planned to shoot one movie a year, but later everyone considered that Huang Feng was developing and that the speed of one movie a year might not be able to shoot two movies, and Huang Feng grew into a teenager.

Although it is not impossible to take photos when growing up as a teenager, it is still not as interesting as when he was a child.

So, I finally decided to shoot two movies a year.

Of course, Huang Tianlin also knows the movie "Home Imperial".

He asked: "How many movies are you going to make?"

"I have a complete three-part idea myself," said Lu Yanhe. In fact, it was because he only watched three movies. He thought for a while and said, "If the market feedback of this movie series has always been very good, it may continue to be filmed later, but other screenwriters may be invited to write the script later."

Huang Tianlin nodded.

"I guess after the movie is released, Huang Feng will become the most popular child star in China."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

He also thinks so.

Huang Tianlin asked: "You won't let him suffer a loss, are you?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I have seen every contract he has, and his mother has also seen it. I dare not say that he has received the best treatment, but he will definitely not suffer any losses."

Huang Tianlin seemed to believe it directly and nodded when he heard this.

"No, I just said that, you believed it?" Lu Yanhe said, "Then what do you ask? I can just fool you."

"You won't." Huang Tianlin said, "You don't need to do this."

Lu Yanhe thought to himself, isn’t he just trying to convince people with virtue?

One or two trust his character so much.

-

If Lu Yanhe's mentality is as stable as a rock and he has no extra worries at all, then Lu Yanhe can't help but be nervous when the screening of "Rainy Season".

The former is a work that Lu Yanhe thinks is "must succeed", while the latter is a real new work of new people. I don't know what kind of evaluation and feedback you will get.

As soon as the movie begins, Huang Feng’s side face is revealed.

In the completely silent image, Lu Yanhe was sitting on the floor with his shirtless against the wall, holding a book in his hand, reading.

The afternoon sun shook in from outside the window.

It is the dry feeling that is only found in tropical areas.

Lu Yanhe is thin and dark, but still handsome, with a little lazy and unruly look.

A kind of handsomeness and wildness with a bit of sharpness.

Huang Feng asked him a question from time to time.

He basically answered one or two words, and he didn't seem very patient.

Such a shot becomes the opening of the movie.

Information on directors, producers, etc. emerged one after another.

 …

Lu Yanhe was surprised by his appearance on the screen.

He actually didn't recognize himself.

  It is very different from him and in other movies.

In terms of image, he has completely become a local teenager.

When the opening of the movie passed, a girl shouted at him sounded outside.

He immediately threw the book on the ground and got up to put on his clothes.

"Where are you going?" Huang Feng asked childishly.

"You stay at home." Lu Yanhe threw down his words and left.

Huang Feng showed a disappointed and disappointed expression, and came to the window and saw the scene of his brother and a girl leaving.

His eyes were very innocent and innocent.

This is how the movie begins.

-

Sitting in the dark screening hall, Lu Yanhe felt the story along with the light and shadow.

Even if this is a story where he knows the plot development, he is completely immersed in it.

Huang Tianlin's lens language has a very Southeast Asian feeling.

The view is very small, the picture is very clean, the soundtrack is almost gone, but it also has a summer wind chime feeling, which pops up from time to time to tease you, like the wind, like a dragonfly flying under the eaves.

Lu Yanhe had always felt that Huang Tianlin's shooting rhythm and picture style were very similar to Wong Kar-wai, but at this moment, Lu Yanhe felt that in fact, his overall temperament of the movie was more like Yukazu Koreed.

But the lens language is more like Wong Kar-wai.

The plot of the movie is actually very simple, but through the perspective of a child like Huang Feng, many things have changed. Many things, such as an quarrel or a few simple words, become a huge thing when it comes to Huang Feng.

The movie captures every subtle and sensitive reaction of Huang Feng, so the mother's hard work at home, the brother's desire for the outside world, and the uneasiness that seems to collapse at any time under the pretense of this family is invisibly magnified.

When the movie was played for an hour, Lu Yanhe was surprised to find something.

Why do he have so many shots?

Lu Yanhe knew very clearly that his two most important scenes, one of the quarrels with his mother, being slapped in the face, and the other of leaving this family, had not even appeared yet.

Many short shots in front of them, which were only one or two seconds, were cut in by Huang Tianlin.

There is no shot in itself, but because Huang Tianlin always puts it in front of Huang Feng's reaction lens, his reaction in each shot suddenly has a different story and meaning.

Huang Feng's shots made Lu Yanhe "had nothing" shots with a lot of things.

What impressed Lu Yanhe the most was the contradictory mentality of the young man's rejection and attachment to this family.

He must say that when he was acting, at least in many of the shots, he was not showing this state, but when edited by Huang Tianlin, he suddenly had a thematic meaning.

The subsequent quarrel with his mother, the silent communication with his younger brother that night, and the final farewell to the family by himself were suddenly elevated to a different level.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect most was that the movie had only the last scene left after he left this home.

A calm afternoon with sunshine and sunshine in the room.

Huang Feng asked where his brother had gone.

Mom said she was going outside.

Huang Feng asked when his brother would be back.

Mom said he would come back when you grow up a little.

Huang Feng stood in front of the window and looked at the place at the opening of the movie. He saw the girl he had met with his brother before looking at their house.

He greeted her in surprise.

But she turned around and ran away as if she was frightened.

Huang Feng was a little puzzled.

Mom asked who are you saying hello to.

Huang Feng shook his head and said nothing.

He walked into his room again.

Before he walked in, the camera gave his mother a virtual scene.

Mom raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, and her movements were very light.

It seems like wiping tears, but the information is not so clear.

Huang Feng didn't see it.

He walked to the front of the wall, with numbers marked by his and his brother's heights.

He turned his back to his back, recorded a position with his hands, and then turned his head to look.

This time the hand fell a little higher than the last time it was recorded.

He started laughing.

The movie ends here.

Finish.

A gentle music sounded.

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.

Huang Tianlin made great cuts to the script, especially the second half of the script.

However, this makes the movie simpler and the emotions expressed are more concentrated.

This is the growth, confusion, and changes of an ordinary family.

There is no preaching expression, nor any forced contemporary and social significance.

However, after Lu Yanhe finished reading it, he felt a slight stagnation deep in his heart.

It is because he thought of a lot of his childhood, and at the same time, he felt a helplessness between people.

Leave, stay, be close, alienate, quarrel, reconcile...

"Tropical Rainy Season" actually expresses the most subtle emotional changes between people.

Lu Yanhe was particularly moved by the fact that Huang Tianlin did not use this movie to try to talk about the so-called pain and hatred of the original family, and too many movies talk about this.

He did not accuse a teenager of leaving home angry, nor did he accuse a mother of not knowing how to communicate with her children and dealing with them irrationally. He used a way of clearly "separated and left" to talk about the emotional result of "they are still family members".

Even though the brother did not come back in the movie, just like Huang Feng finally held expectations and believed that his brother would come back soon, as an audience member, I believe that his brother would come back.

Just like people grow up.

Applause from the surroundings surged like a tide.

Lu Yanhe stood up, picked up Huang Feng directly, turned around, and faced everyone.

The applause in the audience behind him became even more intense.

Lu Yanhe turned to see Huang Tianlin. This young director who had been very arrogant since the first meeting, his eyes were red and he was secretly wiping his eyes.

Hope there will be another update tonight! (End of this chapter)
