Become famous another day.

Chapter 401: Scoring twice

Lu Yanhe discovered that Chen Siqi was more welcoming than him.

Others really like this sweet-talking girl.

Perhaps because Chen Siqi was with him this time, Lu Yanhe never felt bored.

Whatever you think of, you can tell Chen Siqi directly without keeping it in your heart.

In the backstage, the most talked about topic was gossip.

Many people tend to think that when these filmmakers get together, they might talk about art or something.

In fact, gossip is the most powerful glue that maintains relationships between people.

This is true even for the big guys.

Tonight, what everyone talked about the most was whether the revelations on the Internet about the inside story of the Feihong Award for Best Actor were true.

Some people analyzed that it must be true, otherwise someone would have come out to refute it long ago.

This kind of internal disclosure, which greatly affects the image of an award, would definitely be refuted if it were false.

This logic sounds correct.

Lu Yanhe chatted with everyone for a while and then returned to tonight’s awards.

"With the Feihong Award as a precedent, the Lingyun Award should not make such a joke again, right?"

"I don't know whether it will be Chen Pinhe or Liu Teli who will win the award tonight."

The person who was speaking suddenly realized that Lu Yanhe was also nominated for the best actor tonight, and immediately added: "Of course, it could also be Yanhe. Yanhe's performance is also highly recognized."

Lu Yanhe smiled and waved his hands, saying, "I know I have no chance, don't cue me."

Everyone laughed.

Lu Yanhe's attitude is generous and unpretentious, which makes him quite likable.

Nomination is affirmation.

"Xiao Lu's mentality is really worth learning for many people." Huang Pen, the director of "Upstairs", said, "At least it's worth learning for me."

Lu Yanhe quickly shook his hand and said, "I dare not."

He Daren was still present tonight.

Previously, he responded to the issue of winning awards in an interview with "Star!", and he actually spoke very sincerely.

"When I was filming 'Nine Bends of the Galaxy', I already cherished this opportunity because it was my first time playing a leading actor. As for the opportunity to be nominated for the Feihong Award in the future, it was something I had never thought about. Whether I can win the award or whether I won this award by accident, I don't know. Maybe it's true, maybe it's false, but it's all in the past. I don't want to think too much about things that I can't change. I can only think more about what I can do in the future. So, no matter what, I will continue to act well and strive to get awards recognized by the audience."

This statement has shown a very correct attitude. From the information that has been exposed so far, this award was not obtained by Ho Daren through manipulation or backdoor, it can only be said that he got it by chance. Therefore, the criticism of Ho Daren has gradually cooled down.

In fact, the fact that he was nominated for the Feihong Award and the Lingyun Award consecutively shows that his performance in "Nine Bends of the Galaxy" must be good and recognized.

Sometimes, before you can compete for the award, you can comfort yourself with "nominations and recognitions". This is not without reason. A forced melon is not sweet.

The nominations for Best Actor this time are only different from the nominations for the Feihong Awards. Shang Yongzhou is no longer in the nominations, and Cheng Shiyan, who starred in "Northwest Pursuit" last year and made 1.8 billion yuan at the box office, is added. He is also a very talented actor. However, because "Northwest Pursuit" is a very commercial action film, there is not much room for the actors to perform. Cheng Shiyan's nomination is almost the same as Shang Yongzhou's nomination for "Go, Big Star", and his chances of winning the award are lower than Lu Yanhe's.

However, this does not affect everyone's respect for Cheng Shiyan.

This talented actor has been acting for more than 20 years and has achieved his results step by step.

This was also the first time Lu Yanhe met him.

Cheng Shiyan patted Lu Yanhe's shoulder in a friendly manner and said, "Let's act together in the future if we have a chance."

"Yeah, okay." Lu Yanhe nodded immediately and said okay with a smile.

Cheng Shiyan actually doesn't need any awards.

How should I put it? He is one of the most box office-carrying actors in China in the past five years, and he is in the first echelon. His acting skills have long been well-known. If he had not played almost all commercial blockbusters and was not a favorite of awards, he would have won the award long ago with his status, qualifications and film influence.

To some extent, Chen Pinhe has a very high status - but in the market's evaluation, he is not as good as Cheng Shiyan in terms of box office revenue.

Liu Teli is also good at playing small characters, and is well-known for his "market school".

In the film industry, Liu Teli's screen image is not suitable for the role of the real "blockbuster leading man", and although Chen Pinhe is suitable, his box office performance is not as good as Cheng Shiyan.

This is why Chen Ziyan said that Lu Yanhe should consciously arrange for commercial blockbusters for himself in the future.

These male actors have almost reached the top, but their respective strengths and weaknesses are very obvious. Cheng Shiyan is rarely cast in top art blockbusters, and Chen Pinhe and Liu Teli are rarely cast in top commercial blockbusters, especially those with many large scenes. This is the different positioning that the market has given to different actors.

Labels are important. Of course, everyone wants to tear off the labels, but for others, they still judge people by their labels. Especially when the crew is sorting the plates, who has the opportunity to know you so deeply?
After getting to know more actors, Lu Yanhe became more and more aware that Chen Ziyan often had her reasons for her requests and ideas.

That night, the Best Supporting Actress award was not given to Bao Zhenzhu, but to Yang Youyou, a 15-year-old girl from Fusang. When Lu Yanhe heard Yang Youyou's name, his heart skipped a beat. He had seen Fusang, and Yang Youyou's performance was good. The former relied on her true colors, with full emotional outbursts, and she was obviously very talented, but compared with Bao Zhenzhu from Upstairs, she was still much weaker.

Is it because the Feihong Award was given to Bao Zhenzhu, so she will not receive the Lingyun Award?

Lu Yanhe suddenly became concerned about his Best Supporting Actor award.

If this is the case, then he may not be able to win the Lingyun Award tonight.

Lu Yanhe turned and looked at Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi could tell at a glance what Lu Yanhe was thinking.

She whispered, "It's okay."

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.

Five minutes later, the results for Best Supporting Actor came out.

He heard his name.

Lu Yanhe felt relieved.

Fortunately, there were no accidents.
-
"None of the nominees for Best Supporting Actor this year can compete with Yan He. This year is a weak year for this award. Also, it's mainly because Yan He's scene in Three Mountains is so outstanding. It's also a rare case of a supporting role carrying an entire movie."

During the live broadcast, guest commentator Chen Miao made a blunt analysis.

"If we say that Yang Youyou won the Best Supporting Actress award last time because her role in Fusang was comparable to that of the heroine, and she had the advantage in terms of the role, then Lu Yanhe really deserves the Best Supporting Actor award. I wonder when the next supporting actor with such a strong presence will appear."

……

Lu Yanhe once again won the Best Supporting Actor award, which drew applause from the audience.

After taking the stage, Lu Yanhe really didn't know what to say.

It seems like I had already said what I wanted to say the last time I won an award.

"Well, I'm very lucky. I won the Lingyun Award the first time I was nominated. Thank you to the judges." Lu Yanhe used this sentence as his opening remarks. "Especially today, Siqi also accompanied me to attend the award ceremony. I was still worried that if I didn't win the award today, I wouldn't be able to show off in front of her. Thank you Lingyun Award for giving me the opportunity to show off."

Chen Siqi looked at him with a smile.

The others burst into laughter and applause.

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath. "It's a blessing to be an actor, because our work is seen by millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of viewers. Being seen is a kind of luck and happiness. It's also a blessing to be an actor who can stand on the podium, because it means being recognized by this industry. When we work hard and use our emotions, experiences, and empathy 100% to interpret a role, we have all experienced the moment of selflessness and difficulty in extricating ourselves. At this time, someone telling you that you did a good job is really encouraging. Thank you everyone. I have said thank you many times during this period because I have also received encouragement from many senior teachers. I say every thank you from the bottom of my heart because I know that it is because of your love for young actors that I can have this luck today."

Lu Yanhe bowed and walked off the stage with the trophy.
-
That night, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both had no work to do, so they stayed together in the house at Ziyuan Bridge to watch the live broadcast of the Lingyun Awards.

After listening to Lu Yanhe's acceptance speech, Li Zhibai sighed and said, "Lu's acceptance speech is really high-level. I don't think anyone else can compare to it."

Yan Liang smiled and said, "He has always been good at speaking. No matter how much I want to learn from him, I can't. I still need to read more."

Li Zhibai said, "Why do you start reading so many books recently? I never saw you love school so much before."

Yan Liang sighed and said, "At that time, I thought that I would definitely become an artist in the future, and it was useless to read so many books. Now I realize how naive such a thought was."

Li Zhibai nodded, "It's all Yan He's fault. He has single-handedly raised the standard for us young idols."

Yan Liang laughed and said, "It's fine if we don't have the skills ourselves, but we blame others for their high skills."

Li Zhibai stretched out his legs, clicked his tongue, and said, "All noobs are like this, they only know how to peck at others."

The two of them were talking and laughing.
-
When the Lingyun Award for Best Actor was presented, everyone perked up and waited to hear who would win the award.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi are no exception.

When the presenter read out the name "Liu Teli", Lu Yanhe could almost hear everyone in the audience heaving a sigh of relief, and then applauded Liu Teli.

Lu Yanhe said to Chen Siqi: "In fact, I have thought about this before. If the Lingyun Award also gave the Best Actor award to He Daren, I wonder what would happen."

"There may be many people who will directly say that Chinese films have collapsed." Chen Siqi also said directly.

Lu Yanhe smiled.

Before Liu Teli went on stage, he hugged Chen Pinhe and He Daren.

When he passed by Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe stood up immediately.

The two hugged each other.

"Congratulations, Teacher Liu!" Lu Yanhe congratulated him.

Liu Teli couldn't even hide the smile on his face.

The Best Actress award was won by Yu Mengling, the leading actress of "Fusang".

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect the most was that the Best Director award went to Yu Mingjiang, the director of "White Pearl". This was mainly because the film received mixed reviews, and a very important reason was the value orientation of the film itself. However, it should be said that Yu Mingjiang was indeed amazing for insisting on making such a film.

But in Lu Yanhe's heart, Wang Zhong is more worthy of the trophy.

The biggest surprise was in Best Picture.

"Upstairs" was a surprise and won the Best Picture, becoming the most unexpected result of the night.

After all, this year can be regarded as a big year for art films, with films like "Three Mountains", "Late Spring" and "White Pearl" winning major awards or being nominated internationally, but the Lingyun Award for Best Film was actually given to a commercial genre film.

It's not that Upstairs is not good enough, but the artistic sense of Upstairs is indeed not as high as these art films. This is recognized by the industry.

"Is the Lingyun Award changing direction or what?"

"In the past 20 years, no commercial film has won the Best Picture. This year, Director Fu Zhu is the chairman of the jury. Why would he give the Best Picture to Upstairs?"

“Late Spring didn’t win an award again.”

……

Just like any other award ceremony, the results of the Lingyun Award also sparked a lot of discussion.

Of course, the topics that sparked heated discussions this time were not as concentrated as those for the Feihong Awards, but rather more scattered.

After all, these are the three major domestic film awards, so their influence is still there.

The winners of each award mean the rise or deification of some people, and mean that some patterns are beginning to change.

Now Lu Yanhe has won two Best Supporting Actor awards in a row, the Feihong Award and the Lingyun Award. He only needs the Galaxy Award to achieve the Best Supporting Actor Grand Slam of the three major domestic film awards.

However, the list of nominations for the Galaxy Awards has not yet been announced.

The nomination list is usually released in January and the awards are presented in February.

It all depends on whether the judges of the Galaxy Awards want Lu Yanhe to achieve the Grand Slam of supporting actor at such a young age.

Having won two Best Supporting Actor trophies, Lu Yanhe is already very content. Even if he doesn't win the Galaxy Award in the future, he will be very satisfied.

However, Lu Yanhe was a little surprised that "Late Spring" was successively coldly received in the Feihong Award and the Lingyun Award.

Obviously, "Late Spring" is a very good movie and received high critical acclaim. It even won the Silver Lion at the Venice International Film Festival. Why hasn't it won any awards in China so far?
Lu Yanhe was really confused, so he went to ask Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan said: "It's still a question of the orientation of the awards. After all, in the eyes of many people, this film is essentially a youth film, and it is also the debut work of a new director. In the minds of many judges, this film has already achieved high honors and no longer needs to be given more honors."

Lu Yanhe was puzzled. "What's the logic behind this? Shouldn't we evaluate the work based on its quality?"

"Yan He, in the eyes of many people, the quality of a film is not just about its content. Any work is inseparable from its additional things, just like "Mona Lisa's Smile". Does it have to be the best painting in the world in terms of technique? But why is it the most famous painting in the world? There has never been a so-called quality standard for artworks. It is a matter of personal conviction. In everyone's mind, it is what it is."

Lu Yanhe vaguely understood what Chen Ziyan meant, but he didn't fully understand it.

He knew that this might be something that would take a long time to understand, and would suddenly become clear one day.

Liu Bige was feeling a little depressed because "Late Spring" did not win the award.

Of the three major domestic film awards, only the last one, the Galaxy Award, remains.

Under the current circumstances, it will be difficult for "Late Spring" to win an award.

Lu Yanhe didn't know how to comfort him.

When Lu Yanhe returned to school, he met Miao Yue and asked her about it specifically.

Miao Yue said: "He is in a bad mood, but he is preparing for the next new play. He is very busy every day and has a lot of things to do. He doesn't have much time to think about these things, which is also good."

Lu Yanhe asked: "That's good. I feel like he really cares about these awards."

"Of course I care. This is a Chinese-language film and of course I hope it can be recognized by everyone," Miao Yue said.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

He asked Miao Yue: "Will you be involved in the script for the movie he is going to shoot later?"

"I won't participate. Someone else has already written a script for him to film, so it would be weird for me to get involved." Miao Yue said, "Besides, I have to change the next script, which is the one that wants you to act in it again."

Lu Yanhe laughed, "Are you planning to be a screenwriter in the future?"

"I haven't decided yet. I'm going to graduate school anyway, so I'm not in a hurry to decide what career I'm going to pursue. I'll just wait and see while I'm in school." Miao Yue said with a smile, "But I've started writing my third novel. I've communicated with Lin Yu and Zhou Mukai before. They've read my manuscript. Maybe I'll have the opportunity to serialize it in Jump Up magazine in the future."

"Really? That's great." Lu Yanhe said.

After the release of the movie "Late Spring", Miao Yue became a very popular new screenwriter.

The sales of her two previously published novels, especially the new edition of Late Spring published by Jiangyin Publishing House, have also seen a significant increase.

If Miao Yue serializes her new work on "Jump Up" at this time, it will certainly be a very good thing for "Jump Up".

The four words "Miao Yue's new work" alone can attract a lot of attention.

This is true for any platform. There must be a steady stream of new content and new topics to keep them in the eyes of users, rather than being forgotten over time due to lack of access for a long time.

Lu Yanhe said to Miao Yue: "Thank you."

Miao Yue asked: "Are you going to join the group later?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "I will join the team soon. I will go after I finish the exam."

Miao Yue nodded and said, "You can really be called a model worker for your speed of filming. The key is that you are still in school and you can't take on many roles. I really don't understand why you can still film so many dramas when you spend seven or eight months in school. Many actors feel tired after filming one or two dramas a year."

"This is related to the fact that the dramas I take only take about one to two months to shoot, or even shorter." Lu Yanhe said, "For people like Li Zhibai, it takes five or six months to play a big costume drama, or even longer, which is really tiring."

Miao Yue: "Okay, that's true."

"I heard that there are more and more short dramas now, with one drama having eight or ten episodes. This is also good. Have you ever thought about trying to write a TV series?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Miao Yue said: "In fact, some people have approached me and asked me if I would take on the writing of TV scripts, but I refused. Because I have never written a TV script, and I don't think I can write one. It takes so long to write a movie script, and if I were asked to write a TV script, I would have to wait till the end of time."

Lu Yanhe nodded when he heard this. Miao Yue was a typical academic, and she was an academic who paid great attention to the details of the text. It was certainly not impossible for her to write a TV drama script, but she would have to change a lot of writing habits. Miao Yue herself was not very familiar with writing scripts, which made it even more difficult.

Miao Yue asked: "I heard that you are not planning to study for a master's degree?"

"Yes, I won't study for now." Lu Yanhe nodded. "Because I don't plan to pursue an academic career, and now is the time when I need time the most, I plan to focus my main energy on filming. Anyway, if I want to study for a master's degree, I will have the opportunity in the future. I can study at the age of 30 or 40."

Miao Yue: “That’s true.”

Miao Yue added: "Professor Zhao Dezhong has complained to other teachers about your reluctance to pursue graduate studies."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned. "Why? What are you complaining about me?"

"He said you still want to be a star, and you can't calm down, so you don't even plan to study for a master's degree." Miao Yue shrugged. "It's strange to hear words like that. In our college, besides you, there are many other students who don't plan to study for a master's degree and go straight to work. Why did he say that to you?"

Lu Yanhe roughly knew the reason.

Previously, Liu Qiao specially hosted a party and brought him and Professor Zhao Dezhong together. He also took the initiative to mention that if Lu Yanhe wanted to pursue a master's degree, he could ask Professor Zhao Dezhong to be his graduate supervisor. At that time, Lu Yanhe did not like Liu Qiao's approach, so he politely declined on the spot and directly said that he had not considered pursuing a master's degree for the time being.

I guess it was that incident that offended Professor Zhao Dezhong.
-
The snow began to fall.

When Lu Yanhe came out of the classroom and saw the snow, the first thing he thought of was to ask Li Zhibai and Yan Liang if they wanted to go eat hot pot or malatang together.

He approached them both in the group of three and asked them if they were free that evening.

As a result, Li Zhibai had a live broadcast in the evening, and Yan Liang also had to record a show, so both of them had to finish late at night.

Yan Liang said: It will probably be early morning when I finish here.

Lu Yanhe could only give up with regret.

Everyone is getting busier and busier, and it's getting harder and harder to find time. I was looking down at my phone, typing "OK" when I suddenly bumped into the person in front of me.

Lu Yanhe subconsciously began to apologize: "Sorry."

When I looked up, I found that it was Professor Zhao Dezhong.

"Teacher Zhao." Lu Yanhe greeted quickly.

Zhao Dezhong saw him, snorted and said, "Looking at your phone while walking is not a good habit."

Lu Yanhe had an awkward smile on his face. He nodded and said, "Yes, sorry. I was just replying to a message."

“You can’t walk and look at your phone while replying to messages,” said Zhao Dezhong.

Lu Yanhe could only continue to apologize.

Only then did Zhao Dezhong leave with a dark face.

Lu Yanhe was somewhat helpless, but he didn't know what to say. He knew that Zhao Dezhong just didn't like him. In fact, Lu Yanhe probably guessed that when Liu Qiao asked him out that day, he probably mentioned that Lu Yanhe wanted to study for a master's degree and was looking for a graduate supervisor. Otherwise, Liu Qiao wouldn't have rashly said directly that Lu Yanhe wanted to study for a master's degree and could actually study under Professor Zhao Dezhong. Without Zhao Dezhong's tacit consent, this kind of thing, of course, requires the supervisor to nod his head first before the student can do it.

However, there are so many twists and turns in this matter that it is impossible for Lu Yanhe to ask Liu Qiao for clarification now.

As for their current relationship with Liu Qiao...

Of course, even if the relationship with Liu Qiao still exists, Liu Qiao will definitely not admit such a thing.

After thinking it over, Lu Yanhe felt that he still had to seriously explain things to Zhao Dezhong.

If Zhao Dezhong really had a problem with him because he refused to study for a master's degree, then that was Zhao Dezhong's problem, and he didn't care about his prejudice. But if Zhao Dezhong had a prejudice against him because Liu Qiao said something that caused misunderstanding, he would not let the misunderstanding continue.

So, Lu Yanhe caught up with Zhao Dezhong.

"Teacher Zhao, are you free now? Can I talk to you?"

Zhao Dezhong glanced at Lu Yanhe in surprise, and a hint of surprise and panic appeared on his tense and dark face.
-
Many professors in the school are actually quite simple in nature.

Because the people they deal with are relatively simple.

Therefore, you can see the angry and idealistic side of many professors in their forties and fifties that is rarely seen in other people in their forties and fifties.

Zhao Dezhong sat in front of Lu Yanhe, with a stern face and no words.

But as Lu Yanhe slowly told him the whole story of his studies, acting, and the last time they had dinner together, Zhao Dezhong's expression gradually eased.

"I did struggle for a while before, wondering whether to pursue graduate studies, because I wanted to study and was interested in it," Lu Yanhe said. "But compared to doing research and writing papers, I actually found that I prefer studying on my own. In addition, there are objective reasons. I have a lot of film and television projects in recent years, which require a lot of time. If I continue to pursue graduate studies, I will face the situation of not being able to concentrate on both. If I try to do both, I will end up not being able to do either."

Zhao Dezhong nodded.

"So, not going to graduate school for now is a decision I made after careful consideration." Lu Yanhe said, "Teacher Zhao, I don't know how Liu Qiao contacted you, but I heard from other students that you are a little concerned about my not going to graduate school. I'm afraid you will misunderstand, so I want to explain my thoughts to you."

Zhao Dezhong said: "You can think about these things so clearly. I support your decision. However, since you said you love reading and literature, don't give up just because you are busy filming. Reading is a lifelong thing. No matter what job you do, you must not forget to read."

Lu Yanhe heard some earnestness in Zhao Dezhong's serious tone.

He was very touched and was glad that he came to Zhao Dezhong to explain the matter.
-
On December 16, Chen Siqi sent him a message, saying: The sales of the physical book of the winter special issue of "Jump Up" has exceeded 300,000 copies!
When Lu Yanhe saw this number, his eyes widened in surprise.
How should I describe this number?

Such a number would still be a strong number even ten years ago when print media was still popular.

In that era, it was considered a best-selling magazine.

Not to mention in this day and age.

Lu Yanhe: That’s great! That’s great.

Chen Siqi: This further strengthened my idea of ​​publishing a newspaper, but I don’t want to make a traditional newspaper. I want to make a newspaper that readers can feel is "weighty". They can read content in our newspaper that they cannot read on the Internet or on self-media.

Lu Yanhe:?

Chen Siqi said: This newspaper should take "culture" as the main concept, rather than literature. You see, there are so many of us, in so many universities, and we know so many great professors. In fact, we know best which teachers have real talents and are able to explain professional knowledge in a comprehensive and easy-to-understand manner.

There was a loud bang in Lu Yanhe's head.

ha?
He suddenly realized that this was the “knowledge payment” that was slowly taking off in another parallel universe as experts and scholars from various fields entered the Internet. The so-called online courses.

Chen Siqi wants to let people in this world have the same experience through a newspaper, a newspaper that costs only one dollar?
Chen Siqi said: Just like many of our classmates will go to other colleges to take classes, and some of our teachers' online courses are posted online, and many people in society will also watch them. It is not only students in school who are interested in culture, and culture is not something that is high up and put aside. When you recorded the "City Travel Notes" with Sister Qiu Ling and her boyfriend Professor Zhou Shuyu, many people gave feedback and wanted Professor Zhou Shuyu to be a permanent member of the program. In fact, in this era, there are still a large number of people who have a demand for "culture", whether it is a real demand or a psychological demand.

After listening to what Chen Siqi said, Lu Yanhe was even more shocked.

He really didn't expect that Chen Siqi could understand such a social psychology on his own.

With the development of the Internet age, many people are saying that the massive amount of information on the Internet has made many people lose interest in reading, and fragmented reading has squeezed out everyone's ability to read for a long time.

But at the same time as this phenomenon occurs, many people also hope to read some meaningful and cultural content.

We hate to give meaning and value to everything and enjoy simply wasting our lives, but at the same time, everyone's life is definitely pursuing something more permanent on a longer and farther scale.

This is the instinct that has been passed down to human beings since ancient times.

After hearing that Chen Siqi wanted to publish a newspaper, Lu Yanhe felt for the first time that "her idea is right", and it was also the first time he said: This is worth doing.

He was really worried before that Chen Siqi wanted to create a Renaissance in the newspaper industry and try to replicate the miracle of "Jump Up" in the newspaper industry.

If a miracle can be replicated, it is no longer a miracle.

When they made "Jump Up", they didn't aim for success, they just did it out of sheer desire to do it.

Newspapers are different.

Now Lu Yanhe realized that Chen Siqi's idea really hit the psychology of the general public and was very likely to succeed.

Lu Yanhe said: This is a really good idea. There are definitely many people who need reading materials with real knowledge content.

China is a big country with a huge population of more than one billion. Even if only one million people are willing to pay for this product, it would be enough for it to become a super best-seller.

One dollar.

Lu Yanhe suddenly understood why Chen Siqi emphasized the price.

It feels absolutely value for money.
-
According to this positioning, the level of this newspaper will be very high, especially the requirements for manuscripts will be very high.

Lu Yanhe did not intervene. He believed that with the abilities of Chen Siqi and the "Jump Up" editorial team, they would be able to do it according to their ideas step by step.

In fact, what ability and qualifications does he have to intervene now?

He is not professional.

Not as professional as them.

On the contrary, seeing Chen Siqi suddenly come up with such a good idea, and seeing that this newspaper might really be very successful and hit the psychological needs of the masses of this era, Lu Yanhe himself was also inspired.

What happened to his film and television projects?

Is everything in progress?
Lu Yanhe took the initiative to contact Wang Zhong, Jia Long and others to inquire about the progress of "Lost on Journey" and "Rouge", and then contacted Northern Lights Video to inquire about the progress of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and "Squid Game".

During the exam week, Lu Yanhe was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and resumed his previous live broadcast frequency, at least four hours a day, while reading books, reviewing, and writing scripts.

Finally, when the exam week was over, Lu Yanhe was ready to join the group.
-
"Road to Glory" has been in production for a week, and the first scenes were about filming Shang Yongzhou's scenes.

After Lu Yanhe joins the crew, the production will stop for two days and then hold another script meeting to unify everyone's understanding of the script.

Fu Kai did a better job in this regard than other crews.

When he held a script meeting, not only the actors were present, but also the heads of various departments, and he required that each department know clearly what kind of movie they wanted to make.

This also allowed Lu Yanhe to learn a lot and gain many insights.

Indeed, film is not just the art of director, screenwriter and actors, all departments have to participate. If all departments can establish an understanding of what the film should look like from the beginning, it can actually reduce a lot of communication costs and trial and error costs in the later stage.

After Lu Yanhe joined the team, he first gave everyone a cup of steaming hot coffee, then greeted the coordinator and took money from his pocket to buy more dishes for everyone.

The main reason was that he had exams this week and joined the crew a week late, which still caused some trouble to the crew.

It is also a social etiquette for Lu Yanhe to express his apology in this way.

The production budget of this film is not high, and it is planned to be shot on location, which means a lot of money will be spent on transportation and accommodation.

Lu Yanhe simply told the crew not to worry about his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. He just took Zou Dong and Wang Biao with him, drove a nanny car and followed the crew. The crew didn't need to worry about him, they just had to keep him safe.

When Shang Yongzhou heard that he did this, he followed suit.

Blockbuster films have ample budgets, so of course they can take everything into account and give them the best shooting conditions.

But "Road to Glory" is just a low-budget film. If you still want to be served wherever you go, you might as well not take this film in the first place.

The coordinator was naturally relieved to see that the two protagonists were so easy to deal with.

However, the accommodation conditions are not that good.

Especially in some places, there are not enough accommodation rooms and you may even have to live with others.

At least Lu Yanhe was assigned a small independent room, but it was really small.

In winter, the snow falls.

Lu Yanhe's first scene was shot on location, where he stood on the side of the road and got angry with Shang Yongzhou.

A winding mountain road. Looking ahead, the dark and light colors blend together between the rocks, like a huge ink painting eroded by time.

They actually went to a mountain and filmed there.

At this time of year, it may take even half an hour for a car to pass by.

The crew arranged staff at both ends to keep an eye on passing vehicles and report them in a timely manner, while the actors performed on the road.

This scene tells the story of Jiang Ying, played by Lu Yanhe, and Mo Wen, played by Shang Yongzhou, setting out on the journey together.

Jiang Ying followed Mo Wen on the road for three days. She had no idea what Mo Wen was going to do. She also felt that it was too cold and snowy to be outside, so she wanted to go back.

Mo Wen disagreed.

Jiang Ying wanted to walk back by herself.

Director Fu Kai wants to shoot the exterior scenes first.

So, before the quarrel scene in the car was even filmed, Lu Yanhe slammed the car door first.

Shang Yongzhou took the initiative to ask: "Do you want to play a scene with me first and have a few arguments?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Okay."

So, before the filming officially started, Lu Yanhe had an argument with Shang Yongzhou.

"It's winter now, can't you see the snow is falling? You're driving into the mountains. Aren't you afraid that the road will be icy? You might fall into the ravine if you're not careful." Lu Yanhe was angry as soon as he came in.

Shang Yongzhou looked at him sullenly.

No words were spoken.

Lu Yanhe continued: "Brother, what happened to you? Can you tell me the truth? Were you cheated on by a woman, or were you fired? Oh, can we not suffer this outside? Go home and lie down comfortably, how nice it would be? My feet are almost frozen."

Shang Yongzhou: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I——" Lu Yanhe looked annoyed.

At this time, Fu Kai's voice shouting "Action" was heard.

Lu Yanhe immediately turned around and glared at Shang Yongzhou - in fact, at this time, there was no camera shooting him, but he and Shang Yongzhou were still in the state of the characters and performed every step well.

Lu Yanhe opened the car door, got out, bent over and shouted to the people in the car: "Drive slowly by yourself. You are mentally ill to suffer this kind of torture!"

He slammed the car door, turned around and walked down the mountain.

As a result, after only two steps, his feet began to slip and his body slid down uncontrollably.

Lu Yanhe shouted in panic and sat down on the ground.

This was not written in the script, nor was it planned in advance.

It just slipped accidentally.

Lu Yanhe was stunned for a second, and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of Fu Kai. Since he didn't hear any click, he could only continue acting. When he came to his senses, a look of anger and humiliation appeared on his face. He supported himself on the ground and tried to stand up. He patted his butt, looked back at Shang Yongzhou in the car, raised his middle finger, and continued to walk forward angrily, but suddenly he slipped and fell.

Lu Yanhe himself was embarrassed.

He even heard someone at the scene couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Yanhe got up from the ground in a panic.

"Director, if you don't say 'cut', I'm going to break my bones!"

He complained helplessly.

At this time, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Shang Yongzhou also got out of the car and asked, "Are you OK? Are you injured?"

"It's okay, but I feel embarrassed." Lu Yanhe's cheeks were slightly red, "I made such a joke on the first scene."

Fu Kai came over and said, "Very good, really very good, this part can be used."

Fu Kai couldn't stop smiling.

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Shang Yongzhou said: "Indeed, these two falls suddenly broke the tense atmosphere, which is very consistent with the character of Jiang Ying."

Lu Yanhe: "Impulsive, reckless, and stupid?"

Shang Yongzhou: "I didn't say that."

Fu Kai smiled and patted Lu Yanhe's shoulder. "I thought you designed it yourself, so I didn't even say 'cut'."

Lu Yanhe: "...I would never design such an embarrassing move."

Fu Kai was in a good mood.

Because of Lu Yanhe's accidental fall, it had an unexpected effect.

Fu Kai took this as an omen - a sign that the film would be shot smoothly.
-
In the scene on the mountain road, there is a more important shot, where Lu Yanhe slipped and slid out from under the fence on the side of the road. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes and got stuck, otherwise he would have fallen directly.

Then Shang Yongzhou got out of the car and hurriedly pulled Lu Yanhe up.

Fu Kai said, "Add two more lines. Yongzhou, when Lu Yanhe slipped down for the first time, you shouted to him, "Get in the car." When he slipped down for the second time, you shouted to him again, "Get in the car." Lu Yanhe was furious and refused to get in. Then you gave him a big one, and he almost slipped down the steep slope."

Shang Yongzhou nodded.

These two lines of words are added temporarily because some unexpected situations occur on the scene, and two lines of words are needed to make the lines in the script better connect with the actual shooting situation.

Lu Yanhe also has to be there for these two shots to complement Shang Yongzhou.

Fu Kai said: "When saying these two lines, the camera should show Lu Yanhe's embarrassed look, which will be more effective."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Then, Lu Yanhe witnessed how strong Shang Yongzhou's dialogue skills were.

Two sentences of “get in the car”, exactly the same lines, but with different emotional progressions.

The first time was a slightly more serious “get in the car” to stop him from getting angry.

The second time, there is an extra sense of helplessness, meaning "What's the point of tormenting yourself like this?"

When Lu Yanhe first approached Jiang Ying, the feeling of anger and shame became even stronger.

He took the initiative to ask: "Director, how about another take? When I was shooting just now, I fell down the first time and then stood up and was distracted. Another take would be better."

Fu Kai nodded.

Lu Yanhe did it again, but this time the movement of sliding was not very natural.

Fu Kai said to him, "It's okay. We're not shooting a long take here. If the fall doesn't look natural, then it won't look natural. We can just use the first take of the slip. You mainly need to act out your reaction after you fall and hear Shang Yongzhou asking you to get in the car."

Lu Yanhe nodded. Now he no longer had to focus on how to make his fall more natural.

Sure enough, stimulated by Shang Yongzhou's two words "get in the car", Lu Yanhe's reaction became even more frustrated and angry.

When you have a good actor acting opposite you on the spot, you will be stimulated to have a better response.

Fu Kai shot four takes of this kind of shot in total, and they all passed.

"It's going very smoothly." Fu Kai said with a relaxed expression, "Keep up this momentum and try to finish shooting this scene today, so that we don't have to go up the mountain again tomorrow." (End of this chapter)
