Become famous another day.
Chapter 527 Friendship
"Lu Yanhe, sister loves you——"
"Lu Yanhe, Mom loves you——"
"Lu Yanhe, the fairy loves you——"
……
The screams that come one after another have become the most familiar sound barrier for Lu Yanhe when traveling, especially at the airport.
Lu Yanhe was wearing sunglasses and was walking forward under the protection of his team. Suddenly, he heard the words "Fairy loves you" in the voice. He couldn't help laughing. He turned around and saw a girl dressed very beautifully.
"Hello, fairy." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
The fairy screamed on the spot.
"Okay, please don't see me off. The entrance is just ahead. There are too many of you and you will block others. Let's just stop here." Lu Yanhe said to them.
Everyone nodded.
This has almost become a habitual operation for Lu Yanhe's fans.
No one questions it.
Lu Yanhe walked to the door, turned around and waved to them.
Everyone cheered again.
-
"Brother Lu's popularity seems to be getting higher and higher." After Wang Biao entered the airport, he turned around and looked outside through the glass wall. "Almost a hundred people came this time."
Chen Ziyan said: "Yan He has a lot of fans in "Young Days", and now he has more and more fans in his career. This time he went to Venice and was hyped up by the media. It is a special case that so many people came. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be so many."
In occasions like airport pick-ups and drop-offs, there are usually only 20 to 30 fans at most.
Not many people have the time to spend on these things. Not many people are really willing to go offline to "support" celebrities. Those who can really do this are basically those who have money, free time, and the ability to find out about Lu Yanhe's schedule.
You know, before Lu Yanhe's official fan club was cancelled, Lu Yanhe was determined not to allow them to organize such activities, not to mention after it was cancelled, it was even more impossible for anyone to organize it.
Now many of Lu Yanhe’s activities are spontaneous actions of fans.
But this is also good. Compared with the unified and uniform promotional copy when other actors are on the show, Lu Yanhe's fans can speak normally without having to mass-produce text garbage like robots.
After Lu Yanhe entered the waiting room, he met several acquaintances.
Including Peng Zhixing, Yan Liang, Su Xiao and Qin Zhibai, all took this flight to Venice.
"What a coincidence." Lu Yanhe greeted them with a smile, "Sister Zhenzhen and the others should have started filming right from the start."
Li Zhenzhen and the others had already gone there early.
They need to scout the location in advance and make a shooting plan.
Almost everyone is accompanied by an agent, unlike in ordinary jobs where they may only be accompanied by an assistant.
As soon as Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan showed up, everyone became lively and greeted each other.
Especially the agents, they were already chatting animatedly, and when they saw Chen Ziyan, they chatted even more animatedly.
They are all very curious about the show "The Birth of the Actors".
Qin Zhibai's agent seemed to be somewhat interested and wanted to send him to this show to see if he had any talent for acting.
But Qin Zhibai himself was very resistant.
He has never acted in any drama, he is a pure singer.
He didn't want to act either - he had no interest in that at all.
Qin Zhibai said to Lu Yanhe helplessly: "Why do you have to let me act?"
Lu Yanhe actually understands the choices of these agents.
Although Qin Zhibai's music is very popular and has a large fan base, this is no longer an era where music makes the world crazy. Of course, it is no longer an era where movies make the world crazy. The weight of everything is declining because another new world is eroding every corner of this ancient world along the Internet.
But movies and TV series at least occupy a larger share of traffic——
That’s right, even between music and film and television dramas, there are differences in traffic.
Qin Zhibai's agent wants him to act because he hopes he can further expand his acting career.
He has a very handsome image. Regardless of other dramas, his idol dramas are definitely not bad.
Maybe his career can reach a higher level. After all, generally speaking, 1+1 will not be less than 2.
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "It's up to you. If you're really not interested and don't want to do it, don't force yourself. I think any creation can't be forced."
Qin Zhibai: "It's not me who is forcing myself, it's my agent who is forcing me."
Lu Yanhe: "Then this is a matter between you and your agent. We are outsiders."
Qin Zhibai: "Didn't your agent force you to do a job you didn't want to do?"
“I haven’t come across a job that I particularly didn’t want to do.”
"..."
Qin Zhibai: "Animal."
Lu Yanhe: "It's a personal attack."
Qin Zhibai: "There are no cameras here."
Lu Yanhe: "A gentleman is cautious when he is alone."
Qin Zhibai: "A gentleman will not refuse everyone who comes."
Lu Yanhe: "Are you stimulated?"
Qin Zhibai glanced at him and asked, "Who around you hasn't been provoked by you?"
Lu Yanhe: "...You make it seem like I'm a pollutant."
"The first time I saw you was on the show "Little Song Gathering". You sang "Memorial" that time. Do you remember it?"
"Ah."
"As soon as you finished singing, everyone looked at you in surprise. But you were on the stage at that time and didn't see our expressions. Later I watched the show and found that Teacher Liu Zhilan actually said something at that time, but it was not edited into the show."
Liu Zhilan was a senior singer who recorded that episode with them.
Qin Zhibai said: "She said that compared to those noisy avant-garde music, she still prefers your fresher music and clean voice."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Qin Zhibai: "Chen Ziliang was right next to us at the time, and his face turned black immediately."
This was the first time Lu Yanhe heard about this.
He had never heard of it before.
He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that when he met Chen Ziliang and his agent on the stairs after the recording, they were so rude to him.
At that time, Lu Yanhe thought that Chen Ziliang himself had a character problem, as he directly mocked someone he had just met and had no grudges against.
Four years later, I finally realized what was going on.
Lu Yanhe sighed.
Qin Zhibai: "So, from the first day I met you, you have been constantly provoking others, and I am used to it."
Lu Yanhe: "You mean, I'm so outstanding that wherever I go, I'll dazzle other people's eyes because of the light on my body?"
Qin Zhibai: “…”
Peng Zhixing patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Little Lu, learn some good things from others, and don't learn all the shameless spirit of Li Zhibai."
Qin Zhibai said to Peng Zhixing, "Brother Zhixing, you still say that he learned from Li Zhibai? He has surpassed his teacher. Li Zhibai should recognize him as his master."
Lu Yanhe immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"I'm not, I didn't."
-
When they arrived in Venice again, they were greeted by good weather.
Before Lu Yanhe left the airport, Chen Ziyan checked him from head to toe, fixed his collar, and found a hat for him to wear.
"Your hair is flat after flying all this time."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
Image management is a compulsory course for artists.
Lu Yanhe actually wanted to say forget it, there’s no need.
But he knew that if he dared to say that, Chen Ziyan would glare at him.
Lu Yanhe didn't want to have to worry about his image all the time.
For example, at the airport, after a long flight, he just wants to get to the hotel quickly and have a good rest.
However, outside the airport, more than thirty of his fans came upon hearing the news, holding his movie posters, calling his name and asking for his autograph.
Seeing this, Lu Yanhe asked Chen Ziyan in a low voice: "Sister Ziyan, is this someone you hired?"
He had never encountered so many fans coming to support him when he was abroad before.
Chen Ziyan whispered, "About half of them were found by me, and the other half came voluntarily. You are here to hold an exhibition, so the scene can't be too shabby."
Lu Yanhe asked quietly, "How are the tickets for the movie showing going?"
“I haven’t asked yet.” Chen Ziyan said.
Lu Yanhe waved and greeted fans with a smile on his face, signed autographs for everyone, and took selfies with everyone, showing his artistic accomplishment to the fullest.
-
Peng Zhixing and his crew were on the same flight as Lu Yanhe, and happened to see this scene from the side.
None of them are known by many people abroad, especially in Venice.
At this moment, they saw with their own eyes how popular Lu Yanhe was abroad, and they felt complicated emotions. On the one hand, they were proud and happy for Lu Yanhe, but on the other hand, they felt a little disappointed that they had not achieved such a result.
Li Zhenzhen and the others had already been waiting here in advance.
The third phase of recording of "Young Days" begins here.
This scene was also captured by Li Zhenzhen and others.
Lu Yanhe did not get into his own car with Chen Ziyan, Wang Biao and others. Instead, he got into the car rented by the program crew with everyone else to start the formal recording.
During the entire process, Lu Yanhe will be followed by cameras from the program crew.
Of course, the same goes for other artists.
After getting in the car, Su Xiao was a little envious and said, "Yan He, it turns out that you are so popular abroad."
"Yes, this airport reception scene is no less exciting than in China," said Peng Zhixing with a smile.
Lu Yanhe looked at Li Zhenzhen and said, "Sister Zhenzhen, remember not to edit what I say next into the show."
Li Zhenzhen was puzzled, "Huh?"
Lu Yanhe said to them: "In fact, half of them were hired by my agent."
A group of people: "..."
Li Zhenzhen: "Don't say this kind of thing in front of the camera anymore!"
Peng Zhixing laughed loudly.
"That's not a small number. Half of them are real fans."
Lu Yanhe: "It has really increased little by little in the past few years. When I first started attending film festivals, few people knew me, let alone at the airport. Even on the red carpet, there were few photographers taking pictures of me. Later, I guess it was because I showed up more frequently that people got to know me. Come more often, because the photographers and reporters of major media outlets who go to film festivals are actually the same people, and there won't be much change. If you come more often, people will know you. When they report on it, some audiences will also know you."
"Then I have to bring my works with me like you." Su Xiao said, "Without my works, I don't know what to do here."
"If you don't have any works, come here to find opportunities to act in works." Lu Yanhe said, "Although many people now say that if you don't have any works, you shouldn't walk the red carpet or something, to be honest, I don't agree with this."
"Ah?" Peng Zhixing and the others were all shocked.
You know, walking the red carpet with your work is a mainstream opinion.
Lu Yanhe said: "Because being an actor is a very passive profession, I have a special feeling when I am doing the program "The Birth of an Actor" this time. For some actors, is it because their acting skills are not good? Is it because their image is average? None of them, it's just that they are not seen by everyone, and then they remain silent and unknown. The less works there are, the more they have to come out frequently, meet producers, directors, and screenwriters, to find opportunities and roles for themselves."
Su Xiao: "I think what you said makes sense."
"That does make sense." Peng Zhixing also nodded. "I have done a lot of interviews in the past few years, and have interviewed many successful artists. In fact, they all said that for the projects that they like and are excited about, they must take the initiative and strive for them. There seems to be a saying that the best attitude is not to fight or compete. But in this industry, of course you can stop fighting or competing after you have been noticed by others. People are as quiet as chrysanthemums. If you haven't been noticed by others, and you are not proactive and positive, who will give you a pie in the face?"
……
Except for Lu Yanhe, all of them came to Venice as artists for the first time.
Lu Yanhe has gone through this stage.
Because it is not my own country, it is not my home ground, and deep down I feel that I don’t have any works that are well-known, so I am more or less stage-frightened.
That's why Lu Yanhe said what he just said very seriously.
Although it was not so easy for him to do it, he was timid and cautious.
-
When Lu Yanhe arrived at the hotel, several media outlets were already waiting to interview him.
These media were arranged by the official Venice Film Festival.
Chen Ziyan originally didn't want to arrange so many interviews for Lu Yanhe, but she happened to see domestic reporters participating in the film festival complaining that although there were many stars and the stars were shining in this Venice Film Festival, almost all of them did not reserve time for exclusive interviews with media reporters.
Chen Ziyan thought about it and basically agreed.
A large part of Lu Yanhe's achievements were built up so quickly due to the media's good impression of him.
Chen Ziyan still wanted to maintain the media's favorable impression of Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe returned to the room to rest for a while, then had to change clothes because the interview would involve taking photos later - luckily, he didn't have to do a full makeup and hair style like he would for a red carpet walk, as that would be too formal for the interview photos.
During Lu Yanhe's trip to Venice, every outfit he wore had Math on it. As a spokesperson, Lu Yanhe had worn Math quite a lot before, but not as often as now. It was mainly to return the favor - Math sponsored a thank-you dinner for Lu Yanhe with $200,000.
-
Lu Yanhe accepted exclusive interviews from eight media outlets for a total of three and a half hours.
The "Young Days" production crew was filming the entire process.
The slogan of the program itself at this stage is to show the truest state of celebrity artists in the world of fame and fortune.
This is his state.
Between each interview, Lu Yanhe was given a ten-minute break, and each media outlet was also given time to debug equipment and make connections.
Lu Yanhe could only change clothes, drink some water, eat something, and replenish his energy in these ten minutes. Even if he was tired, he had to cheer up and continue to look relaxed, natural, and full of energy when accepting the next media interview.
Li Zhenzhen personally followed Lu Yanhe's group.
Other celebrity artists also have corresponding itineraries and are followed by filming crews.
This was also the first time Li Zhenzhen saw Lu Yanhe working normally.
When she saw Lu Yanhe maintaining a high spirit throughout the three and a half hours, talking to the interviewer about movies, directors, the works shortlisted for this year's Venice International Film Festival, his exhibition, and a variety of other topics. Lu Yanhe never failed to give a good answer, no matter what was asked, he was able to give some sincere answers instead of some nonsense. Li Zhenzhen was actually very shocked in her heart.
The interviews with eight media outlets were over. When Lu Yanhe sent the last media outlet away, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed with fatigue.
He stretched and turned to look at them.
"Thank you for your hard work. You haven't had dinner yet, right?"
"No."
Lu Yanhe said, "Let's go, I'll treat everyone to dinner."
He changed back into casual clothes and immediately became lazy.
Lu Yanhe greeted in the "Young Days" group: I just finished work here, how about you?
Except for Song Linxin who was still shooting for the magazine, everyone else had finished.
We made an appointment to meet at a restaurant together.
Chen Ziyan had booked the restaurant in advance.
Lu Yanhe closed his eyes for a while in the car passing by.
Li Zhenzhen suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked Chen Ziyan in a low voice: "Sister Ziyan, can we ask you a few questions later? About Yan He."
Chen Ziyan thought about it and nodded.
"Okay."
The camera kept filming Lu Yanhe, even though Lu Yanhe had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
Li Zhenzhen was afraid that she would forget, so she took out her phone and wrote in the memo:
——He is not only a dedicated actor on the set, he is also a dedicated artist at work. He could have used the fact that he is a successful actor to lower his standards as an artist, but he didn't.
——What shocked me even more was that he would change his clothes every time he accepted an interview with a media outlet. I privately asked his agent why he changed clothes so frequently? Was it a request from the brand? Was it to show more clothes?
——His agent said, no, it’s because every media outlet will take photos and videos, and Yan He hopes to give each media outlet something different.
Li Zhenzhen is no longer a newcomer in the workplace, but looking at what Lu Yanhe has done, she still feels that in this entertainment industry, there are so many things that Lu Yanhe has worth learning for young people.
This professional attitude alone, especially the thought of giving each media something different, is invaluable.
Li Zhenzhen suddenly popped up a small title in her mind:
It is often said that Lu Yanhe is the darling of the media, but no one seems to have asked why Lu Yanhe is the darling of the media?
She immediately took out her cell phone, wrote down this sentence, and decided to use it in the program copy.
-
When they arrived at the restaurant, Li Zhenzhen discovered that not only Peng Zhixing and his friends were there, but Lu Yanhe had also invited director Luo Yuzhong.
"You all know that the director was the director of my first play. He was the one who led me to the path of being an actor. He is also my teacher."
Lu Yanhe specially invited Luo Yuzhong over tonight.
On the one hand, Xiao Yun and the others all need to get to know Luo Yuzhong. Whether it is for filming or other aspects, it is beneficial to know Luo Yuzhong.
On the other hand, Luo Yuzhong actually also needs to get to know more actors, especially young actors - many people mistakenly believe that big directors like Luo Yuzhong have no shortage of actors to perform in their plays.
But in fact, the higher the level of a director like Luo Yuzhong, the more actors are around him, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to meet them privately. They are often introduced by friends, auditioned, or chat for dozens of minutes over a meal, and that's a big deal.
Lu Yanhe feels that the people in "Young Days" are actually all very good artists, whether they are hosts, singers or actors. After spending a few years working with them, their character, character, professional ability and dedication are all reassuring.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe wanted to give Luo Yuzhong a chance to get to know them privately. Any director needs good actors.
Although there will be a thank-you dinner the night after tomorrow, there will be too many people there, not only them, but also the media and some other people. It is not a place where they can have a good chat.
-
Luo Yuzhong came here specifically to support Lu Yanhe this time, and he didn't have any other work, so he was very relaxed.
He had watched "Young Days" and also read the works of some of them, and was familiar with these young people.
Luo Yuzhong said with a smile: "Your program is quite interesting. You have a good vision to bring together all of you when none of you have yet come to the fore."
Li Zhenzhen made a "yeah" gesture and said, "Thank you Director Luo for the compliment."
This is indeed the most powerful aspect of "Young Days".
Very good vision.
Judging from the market situation, among the eight people, only Su Xiao may not be recognized as a first-line star, while the others are undisputedly popular.
But Su Xiao's development is not bad either.
As an artist of her age, she already has a name and works.
Li Zhibai said, "Director, do you still remember me? When you auditioned for The Golden Age, you auditioned all of us. You praised me for my relaxed acting and asked them to learn from me. What do you think of Lu Yanhe's learning? Did he learn even a little bit of what I did?"
He looked so calm and proud that everyone, who were originally a little nervous about seeing Luo Yuzhong, suddenly couldn't hold back anymore.
Again.
Luo Yuzhong smiled and tapped him with his hand.
"I've seen some of your plays, especially Washe, and you acted well. It's hard for people to recognize your acting skills because of your type, and you did a very good job among them." Luo Yuzhong said, "If Yan He were to play the role, you might not be suitable."
Li Zhibai raised his eyebrows directly at Lu Yanhe, "Did you hear that?"
Lu Yanhe: "Of course. After all, no matter how good I am at acting, I can't be as good as you in portraying a character who is crazy, arrogant, and loves to show off."
Li Zhibai clicked his tongue: "Jealousy, naked jealousy."
Yan Liang asked, "Director, when you usually choose actors, you probably wouldn't choose someone as thick-skinned as Li Zhibai, right?"
Luo Yuzhong laughed twice.
"An actor needs to be thick-skinned. You used to be too thin-skinned, but you've gotten a little better in the past two years."
Yan Liang was stunned.
What Luo Yuzhong meant by this was that he had actually been paying attention to Yan Liang in the past two years.
This made Yan Liang a little stunned and surprised.
As he was talking, Peng Zhixing suddenly said excitedly: "The nomination list for the Golden Tripod Awards has been announced. Yan Liang, you've been nominated for Best Supporting Actor!"
Everyone showed a look of surprise and joy.
The nomination list was announced at this time.
What a coincidence.
Yan Liang looked at Peng Zhixing in surprise.
Due to some special reasons, the Golden Tripod Awards this year was held a little later than in previous years, and the nomination list was only released at this time.
In previous years, it usually came out in July.
Lu Yanhe was the first to react.
"Congratulations! Let's clink glasses!"
"That's amazing." Xiao Yun immediately raised his glass, "I'm so envious. When will I be able to get a nomination?"
A group of people excitedly clinked glasses in a restaurant in a foreign country to celebrate for Yan Liang.
Li Zhenzhen was also extremely excited at this moment.
Who would have thought that during the recording of the program, Yan Liang's nomination would be announced.
Thank you for the blessing of the variety show gods.
-
After dinner, Lu Yanhe returned to the hotel and was so tired that he wanted to go to bed directly.
But he still had to confirm the list of guests who would be attending tomorrow again. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if he suddenly got stuck and forgot someone's name.
He only slept for six hours before he was woken up by Wang Biao.
There is a lot to do in the morning.
Different from every previous job, this time it is his home field and he needs to play the role of "master".
Lu Yanhe took a shower and drank a cup of strong black coffee to wake himself up, then began to check all the schedule for the day with Wang Biao and Wan Qingqing.
Confirm it one last time so you know what’s going on.
The production crew of "Young Days" followed Wang Biao in.
Lu Yanhe didn't have time to greet them.
They just quietly filmed nearby.
At 8:30 in the morning, Song Jiang came up with a breakfast.
A boiled egg and a piece of bread.
Lu Yanhe ate while reading his speech.
He wrote the speech himself. Because it was in English, which is not his native language, even though he had a good command of English, he was still a little nervous speaking in such a formal occasion and needed to familiarize himself with the language.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Lu Yanhe looked back.
Wan Qingqing has already opened the door.
It turned out that Chen Ziyan and Bikaloqi were here.
"Hi, Mr. Bicalochi." Lu Yanhe stood up and greeted Bicalochi.
"Hi, Yan He." Bikaloqi hugged him and asked with concern: "Did you have a good rest yesterday?"
"Very good, thank you for your invitation." Lu Yanhe gave Bikalochi a bright smile.
As the head of the Venice International Film Festival, Piccolo was really good to Lu Yanhe and gave him enough honor.
At the later screening event, before the screening, Picasso will serve as the host to introduce Lu Yanhe and his achievements in acting, and then invite Lu Yanhe to the stage to give a speech.
This recognition shows that the Venice International Film Festival values Lu Yanhe.
And at noon today, Lu Yanhe will also have lunch with Bikalochi.
This link was proposed by Picardi.
Lu Yanhe also specifically said that all of Lu Yanhe’s itinerary in Venice will be filmed by a Chinese variety show.
Picaro's response was: "I've been filmed by cameras all over the world in the past two weeks, why should I avoid this one?"
People happily appeared on the show.
After a brief meeting, Bicalochi left.
"see you later."
After a while, Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and officially set off at nine o'clock.
At half past nine, they arrived at the door of the screening room.
There is a red carpet area here. As the host, Lu Yanhe will be the first to step onto the red carpet, and then he will stand at the door to welcome every guest.
Lu Yanhe originally thought that there might not be so many media at the scene.
However, as soon as he got off the car, a crowd of photographers occupied the media area, calling his name.
Lu Yanhe looked at them with some surprise.
Chen Ziyan and Wang Biao got out of the car and retreated to the side of the red carpet.
At this moment, Lu Yanhe felt inexplicably excited and proud.
The feeling that the whole world is at his feet.
It was difficult for Lu Yanhe to describe his feelings next.
Because this was something he had never experienced before.
He stood at the door with a smile on his face, greeting the invited guests one by one.
Some were invited by him, some were invited by the film festival, and some were invited through sponsoring brands. Lu Yanhe did not know everyone.
Chen Ziyan and Wan Qingqing stood behind him, mainly Wan Qingqing, reminding Lu Yanhe of the identity and name of every visitor.
Lu Yanhe called out their names enthusiastically again.
When the famous Spanish actress Felena Ricci appeared on the red carpet, there was a climax of cheers.
She was a judge in the main competition unit when "Three Mountains" starring Lu Yanhe was shortlisted for the Xitul Film Festival.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect her to show up.
He greeted her with a surprise hug.
Felena Rich congratulated him happily.
Everyone was greeted in a cursory manner, including everyone in the "Young Days" program.
Peng Zhixing whispered in Lu Yanhe's ear: "Yanhe, I am so proud of you walking on this red carpet today. I am proud of you."
When Liu Zhiyin stood with him for a photo, she took Lu Yanhe's hand gracefully, raised it up, and struck a smart pose that showed she was proud of Lu Yanhe, with a bright and unrestrained smile that was full of infectiousness.
She said, "Yan He, you are great."
At such times and in such occasions, emotions can be contagious.
It was not until the red carpet part ended that Lu Yanhe walked into the screening hall amid the applause of the crowd.
This is a hall that can accommodate 500 people, and it was packed.
This way of entering made Lu Yanhe's heart surge at that moment.
Moment of honor.
Bicalogchi came on stage and, as the host, first introduced the event and then introduced Lu Yanhe's achievements as an actor and screenwriter. He also mentioned that Lu Yanhe's first film as a director has been completed and will be released next year.
Bicalochi did not praise Lu Yanhe too highly, which made Lu Yanhe feel a little relieved.
At this time, he was really afraid of being praised too much.
When it was time for him to go on stage to give his speech, Lu Yanhe let out a long sigh and went on stage.
There were a few steps where my feet were numb.
This is not the first time I have been on stage. I have received awards several times, but now I feel a different kind of nervousness.
Even panic.
After Lu Yanhe stood up, he took out his speech.
"I'm sorry, I can't speak without a script today. Please allow me to rely on this piece of paper in my hand. After all, it is an honor and a privilege to be able to review the work I participated in with you at the Venice International Film Festival."
"Venice is a very beautiful city, and the Venice Film Festival is also a film festival that has a special meaning in my heart. Of course, after today, it means even more to me. Thank you, Mr. Piccolochi. I am lucky to meet an elder like you who supports young people on the road of film."
"I filmed some movies and was lucky enough to get into the acting industry. I also met several directors, which broadened my understanding of the film world. I am particularly excited because Director Luo Yuzhong, who introduced me to the industry, is also here today. I am also very grateful because many producers, directors, and actors who have worked with me have come to the scene to re-watch the movies we made together."
"Movies are the art of moments. When the shooting is finished and the movie is released, it will stay at that moment forever. I am actually only 23 years old this year, but when I think back to my first movie and the first shot, I feel that it is completely different now than it was then. I dare not imagine how I will feel when I see them again in ten, twenty, or even fifty years."
"Movies are also eternal art because they preserve the moment forever. Whether it is the appearance of our actors or the expression of the movie itself, it is recorded in the form of light and shadow. This is our luck as filmmakers. It allows us, who are originally very ordinary people, to have the possibility of being seen and remembered by the world."
Lu Yanhe raised his lips and said, "I am honored to have such an opportunity to watch my first play and first scene with you all. I would like to thank Director Luo Yuzhong, my teacher, for specially editing a 70-minute version for this screening. Yes, the first film to be screened is "The Golden Age" directed by Luo Yuzhong. Promise me that when you see my immature performance, please don't laugh at me, because that is where I started as an actor."
After Lu Yanhe finished his speech, he bowed to everyone.
The audience burst into applause.
In the screening room, the lights gradually dimmed.
-
A white car crossed the driveway at high speed like a flash of lightning and stopped in front of a house with a very stylish decoration.
Zhang Yuezhen got out of the car and hurried in, "Husband!"
She didn't find Chen Pinhe on the first floor, so she went upstairs again.
She found him in the video room on the second floor.
"husband!"
Chen Pinhe, who was sitting on the sofa, woke up as if from a dream, picked up the remote control and pressed pause.
Zhang Yuezhen turned on the light in the room, looked at Chen Pinhe carefully, and asked, "Husband, why don't you go to Venice? Didn't you say before that your cooperation project with Maxine would be announced at this Venice International Exhibition?"
Chen Pinhe smiled and said, "I had another job temporarily and our schedules conflicted."
"Is that so?" Zhang Yuezhen put her arms around Chen Pinhe's neck and leaned on him. "I thought you were unhappy."
"Unhappy? How could I be unhappy?" Chen Pinhe said with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness, "What about you? Aren't you in England with Lulu? Why did you come back suddenly?"
"I just came back because I heard that you weren't going to Venice. I wanted to meet you there." Zhang Yuezhen said, "Honey, Venice is really interesting. They didn't hold a screening for you, but found a young man like Lu Yanhe who has only been acting for a few years."
Chen Pinhe smiled, with no expression on his face.
"He has become more famous overseas in recent years."
"Huh, he can't compare to you." Zhang Yuezhen looked at Chen Pinhe, "Hubby, you will always be the best actor in my heart."
Chen Pinhe put his arm around Zhang Yuezhen's waist and kissed her on the lips.
Zhang Yuezhen smiled sweetly.
She leaned her head on Chen Pinhe's shoulder.
They returned to the room together.
An hour later, Chen Pinhe went to the bathroom, sat down, and sent a message to a number: Please help me ask him out, I want to meet him.
In the room, Zhang Yuezhen glanced at the door, picked up his mobile phone, and sent a message to a number: Are you sure that what happened that year left no trace?
There was no expression on her face, and she showed no trace of the tenderness she showed in front of Chen Pinhe. Instead, she looked like a clay statue, showing no emotion or joy.
——Don’t worry, no.
——Then why did he say that? He must be hinting at something!
-Don't think too much, he's just playing with turtle soup.
——No, the look in his eyes at that time showed that he must be hinting at something. Go and confirm it again. There must not be any traces left of what happened back then. You must resolve any threats! -
The screenings of Lu Yanhe's works included "The Golden Age" in the morning, "Three Mountains" in the afternoon, and "Road to Glory" in the evening.
All three screenings were sold out.
Lu Yanhe was on a roll, and in between he had to accept interviews from different media and greet and communicate with different people.
Fortunately, Chen Ziyan has always been by his side.
Li Zhenzhen was feeling a little bit reluctant at first and didn't want to take advantage of this moment to film and prepare for the interview for him. However, the program "Young Days" was being recorded and the program had to be good. At this time, the director and the interviewer couldn't be absent, and neither could the interviewer.
She finally gritted her teeth and asked Lu Yanhe for fifteen minutes.
“Are you usually this busy at the festival?”
"Not at all." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "Don't think this is my normal job. I'm almost exhausted. I didn't expect it to be so intense."
Li Zhenzhen personally took part in the preparation for the interview.
She asked, "There are many friends who came to support you, including Jiang Yuqian, who we just learned also rushed here from Paris and just got off the plane to attend the screening of your work tomorrow. Do you have anything to say to them?"
"All I can think of right now is thank you." Lu Yanhe swayed for a moment before coming back to his senses. "I've said too much today, and I feel like my language organization skills are a little off, but I'm very excited. It's not easy for everyone to come here, including Sister Yuqian. If I had known that her schedule was so busy, I wouldn't have invited her. Sigh. I'm sorry, I didn't treat them well."
"Today, you chose the special edited version of The Golden Age as the first film to be screened at this screening event. Apart from the fact that it is your first drama, do you have any other intentions?" Li Zhenzhen said, "Because - in fact, it is impolite to say this, but please let me ask this, after all, it is a TV series, not a movie."
"Other reasons... The most important reason is, of course, that I fell in love with acting because of this play. Otherwise, I might not have chosen to reduce my singing and performances on stage and focus on film and television dramas. This must be a play of decisive significance to me. At that time, I was not a professional actor."
Lu Yanhe pondered for a while and added: "Also, I hope to use it to remind myself that as a creator, content is always more important than form, and I should not covet false reputation."
Li Zhenzhen understood what Lu Yanhe was saying.
Just like the question she asked.
When everyone assumes that movies are superior to TV series, Lu Yanhe hopes to remind himself that as a creator, nothing is more advanced than content.

News about Lu Yanhe's performance at the Venice International Film Festival continued to spread back to China.
The red carpet, speeches, big names attending, official hospitality, exclusive interviews from media from all over the world...
Over the past week, the Venice International Film Festival has been quiet in China and has hardly made any splash. But at this moment, the popularity has suddenly increased exponentially.
"Because of this golden statue, in the next five to ten years, all major companies won't need to hire actors of his age. They simply can't do it." He Yingzi couldn't help but express such emotion.
Lu Yanhe's sudden emergence is a nightmare for all male actors of his generation.
What are the Four Heavenly Kings, the Four Danesses, the Two Ices? It's okay to fight with each other, and it's okay to compete, as long as there is a fight. You laugh for a few years, I laugh for a few years, and we fight for a lifetime, but the result is that they firmly occupy the throne, and others can't get in even if they want to fight.
The Luyan River is a high mountain that is almost as high as the Himalayas. Who can cross it?
How can we have a victorious fight if we have a mountain that we cannot cross?
The most despairing thing is that it is really impossible to turn over.
It can't be pressed down, and it can't be turned over, so you can only accept this fact.
"Don't even think about it. He is not someone we can just throw some dirty water at. " Others also sighed, "With his connections and power now, if you don't pull him down, he will trample you to death first."
He Yingzi thought about when she met Lu Yanhe two or three years ago. Lu Yanhe didn't have the fame he has now.
"No one can stop him from moving forward."
"Lang Xia, is he still in a bad mood?" asked the friend.
"He was making a fuss. I didn't allow him to take that Hollywood movie, so he threw a tantrum at me. Let him make a fuss for a few days." He Yingzi said, "A small movie with a budget of less than one million US dollars asked him to play an Asian ghost. Isn't it obvious that he saw the popularity of The Mist and wanted to follow the trend to make some quick money. He wanted to act like a fool."
"I chose this movie because it's from overseas. After I act in it, I can say I'm an international star," a friend complained.
Although Lang Xia is an actor directed by He Yingzi, he still has a lot to say when it comes to complaining.
After all, He Yingzi herself doesn't think highly of the actor she is bringing along.
"Not only is he not as good as Lu Yanhe in acting and talent, he is also not as worry-free as Lu Yanhe." He Yingzi said, "You don't know how worry-free Lu Yanhe is. It's really enviable. How come he ended up in Chen Ziyan's hands?"
"Then at least you are not Zhou Ping'an. Look at Zhou Ping'an, who wouldn't laugh at him? He gave away his King bomb to someone else, and his other King was driven away by the Jack. Now he has only a King to support his hand."
"K?" He Yingzi shook her head and sighed, "He's already been nominated for the Golden Tripod Awards, why would he still be K? With two hit drama series in hand, I don't know how popular Yan Liang can be, but he will definitely be an evergreen."
"Have you heard? Lu Yanhe has a script for a martial arts movie and a fairy tale drama." The friend said, "Do you think there is a chance to put Lang Xia in it?"
"Why didn't he reserve the role that Lang Xia could play for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang?" He Yingzi didn't even think about it. "With these three people, the others can just drink the soup."
"Then don't be too self-deprecating. Lang Xia is at least a leading actor who can carry a movie on his own and has grossed over 100 million yuan." The friend said, "There are only a handful of actors of his age who have achieved such results. It's impossible for Lu Yanhe and others to play all the roles on the market. There are opportunities."
He Yingzi said, "Are there any good talents in your class who haven't signed with an agency yet? Introduce two to me so I can take a look. I have to train new people."
The friend was stunned, a little surprised, and asked in astonishment: "Are you going to give up Lang Xia?"
"Give up? I've been coaching him for so long and finally made him famous. I'm crazy. I'm giving up? It's just that Lang Xia's development has stabilized now, and his upward momentum has been blocked by Lu Yanhe and the other three. Let's just hold on for a few years. I can use my energy to coach new people."
The friend thought, if this isn’t giving up, then what is giving up?
It's the rising period, let him hold on a little longer... Friends think it's too early for He Yingzi to give up.
Ma Zhiyuan is in that state, but Zhou Pingan hasn't given up yet.
-
"From today on, the names of Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang should not appear in your mouth."
Zhou Ping'an said to Ma Zhiyuan with a stern face.
"I worked very hard to get you this show, so don't talk nonsense."
Ma Zhiyuan glanced at him and hummed impatiently.
"What's your attitude?" Zhou Ping'an raised his eyebrows. He never thought that after going through so many things, Ma Zhiyuan was still like this.
Ma Zhiyuan dragged out his voice and said, "I understand."
Zhou Pingan was silent for two seconds and said, "Okay, that's all I want to tell you, you can go out now."
Ma Zhiyuan just left.
He didn't even turn his head and didn't close the door.
Zhou Ping'an took a deep breath, and after a while, he made a phone call.
"Li Li, what have you thought about the thing I told you before?"
On the phone, Meng Li said: "The conditions you offered are not enough to impress me."
"Really? Are you sure?" Zhou Ping'an said confidently, "Sui Xiaodie's contract expired and she left Star Entertainment. Jiang Yuqian's main activities for the next three years will be abroad. Zhang Lan filmed the third season of Friends and was seriously injured. Now he has returned to the ancient idol circle. This is the best time for you to join Star Entertainment. After you join, I can't promise you anything, but think about it, how much of the resources of the three of them will flow into your hands."
"Don't make empty promises to me." Meng Li said, "Don't think I don't know that you have a little girl named Fuli under your command, right? Why don't you give these resources to the little girl you brought up, but give them to me? Who would believe that?"
"She and you are not in the same race. She is five or six years younger than you. Besides, you are already a top star, while she is just a little bit behind." Zhou Pingan said, "Apart from anything else, she will definitely not pose a threat to you for at least three years. This is also what I can promise you."
Meng Li: "I don't believe you. Stop fooling around. If you don't come up with something more substantial, there's no point in talking to you."
"What if I tell you that your agent Li Xia is contacting Sui Fangran, the girl who starred in "Three Mountains", what do you think? Did Li Xia tell you?" Zhou Ping'an dropped his own bomb.
Meng Li was stunned.
"I admit that Li Xia is a very capable agent, but you also have to admit that she lacks the experience to make someone a superstar." Zhou Pingan asked, "You are already a first-tier star and very popular. Do you want to watch Jiang Yuqian leave you further and further behind?"
"Do you have the resources to allow me to expand overseas as well?"
"No, you don't need to expand overseas." Zhou Ping'an said bluntly, "Since Jiang Yuqian wants to shift her focus overseas, she can't still occupy so much of the cake in China. Come to me, I won't say anything else, I will just tell you one thing, in three years, you will be as popular as Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang now."
Meng Li was silent for a moment.
"You've driven them away, and you still have the nerve to mention them?"
"Why should you be embarrassed? They are all artists brought up by me. Without me, would they be where they are today?" Zhou Ping'an said, "How did Li Zhibai, a pure idol artist, gain a foothold in the acting industry? How did Lu Yanhe become an instant hit with his first film, The Golden Age? Did they take on those dramas after they left me? Meng Li, you have connections, resources, and popularity, but you lack a pair of actors who can help you find a breakthrough point, and an agent who is capable and experienced to help you ascend. Li Xia doesn't have this ability, let alone this experience. The premise for driving Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai away is to let them become first-line stars in my hands first, and the premise is me."
Meng Li: "You are so shameless."
"But I think you should understand what I mean and be moved." Zhou Pingan smiled slightly, "Let's have dinner together tomorrow night. I'll bring a script over and you can read it. After reading it, you can decide whether to consider coming to my place."
After Meng Li fell silent this time, he did not mock Zhou Ping'an again.
-
Yuming.
An SUV moves slowly through traffic.
Wang Biao whispered to Wan Qingqing, "Remember to contact the photographers later and bring all the photos over. There's no rush. The main thing is to keep them for future use. Just upload them to the network disk before Saturday."
Wan Qingqing nodded and agreed.
Wang Biao then said to Song Jiang, "Collect all the reports from various media, both domestic and foreign. Remember to compare them with those collected and posted by Xiao Lu's fans online. These are the materials for our press releases later. Don't miss any of them. In addition to the press releases, we will also send thank-you cards and small gifts later."
Song Jiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have already asked all the media reporters for their business cards. I will check one by one to see if they have sent any articles to Brother Lu."
Wang Biao looked at Song Jiang with some surprise.
“That’s a good idea.”
Song Jiang pursed her lips and smiled.
Gradually, the two of them became familiar with their jobs.
Chen Ziyan sat in the back, listened to the whole thing and smiled.
Wang Biao is now the assistant chief and he is really getting more and more impressive.
Chen Ziyan slowly began to feel relieved.
She felt that many things could be slowly handed over to Wang Biao.
Chen Ziyan turned her head and glanced at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe was wearing an eye mask and earplugs, leaning on a chair, sleeping soundly.
He was really tired these days. He kept himself excited for three or four days in a very strong mental state, and only relaxed when he got on the plane back home.
Chen Ziyan saw that Lu Yanhe's eyes were a little blue.
Not only am I tired, but I've been forcing myself to be energetic for such a long time that I'm a little exhausted.
Fortunately, there is no work for the next few days, so Lu Yanhe can have a good rest.
Chen Ziyan replied and politely declined several new job offers.
-
Lu Yanhe felt like he had slept for a very long time.
In fact, it only takes one and a half hours from the airport to Ziyuan Bridge.
During this hour and a half, he felt as tired as if he had sunk into the deep sea. The sea water allowed him to float in the water, rising and falling with the waves.
Every bone and muscle in the body relaxed.
The sun was shining on his body, making him feel warm.
When the car arrived at Ziyuan Bridge, he heard Chen Ziyan calling his name softly, as if a person with amnesia was being called in a maze and remembered everything.
Lu Yanhe opened his eyes.
The past few days seemed like a grand event held in prosperity and noise. Now, the event was over, the voices faded away, and he returned to this familiar place where he had lived for four years.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
Feeling at ease.
-
The fourth phase of recording of "Young Days" was scheduled for the end of September, which means that everyone can have a good rest for a while.
The recording of the first three stages is enough to edit eight or nine episodes.
Because there is too much material from the Venice International Film Festival, Li Zhenzhen is considering whether she can cut one or two more episodes this season.
The topic of this season is hot enough, and Bingyuan Video is willing to pay for it.
After Li Zhenzhen returned to China, she did not rush into the computer room, but went to see her father first.
Before returning to China, Li Zhenzhen made an appointment with her father to meet him and asked him to wait for her at home.
She felt that she must see him as soon as possible and say what she wanted to say in person.
however--
"Didn't he give you any trouble?"
The first thing her father asked when he saw her was this.
Li Zhenzhen was surprised for a moment before she said, "How could that be? Don't judge others by your own standards."
Her father said, "Don't think people are too kind."
"He is really kind, and I am very grateful to him for continuing to record "Young Days" without holding a grudge."
Li Zhenzhen hesitated when she said this and almost swallowed back the words, "Dad, it's you who makes me disappointed."
However, her father must have noticed something. He was silent for a while and then said, "Do you know how much of a stir Lu Yanhe caused by saying something in the first episode of your show this season?"
"What?" Li Zhenzhen asked.
Her father said, "Forget it. I can't tell you about this either."
"Since you don't plan to tell me, I won't ask, but don't tell me what to do." Li Zhenzhen said, "Especially when it comes to Lu Yanhe, do you know how I felt when I went to Venice this time? I am more convinced that Lu Yanhe will get better and better in the future, and no one can stop him or suppress him. So, you or people who share the same idea as you, you don't know that what you did before is nothing to him. He won't be defeated by you."
Her father took a deep breath.
"But there have always been people who want to destroy him."
Li Zhenzhen's eyes flickered.
"Don't exaggerate here." She said deliberately.
"What alarmist talk! Why do you think I asked you not to use him to record your show? Is it because I don't want your career to succeed?" Her father glared at her, "You don't know how crazy that person is. What if something happens to Lu Yanhe and your show can't be aired? Who do you think I'm doing this for?!"
Li Zhenzhen: "Isn't it already the fifth season?"
"That's because the guy is ruthless enough! His agent is ruthless enough too."
"Dad, I'm telling you now. No matter how serious you tell me, I will always invite Lu Yanhe to record my show. If you don't want this show, which has become the most representative work of my life, to be aborted in the fifth season, you should tell me who is targeting him behind the scenes." Li Zhenzhen said, "I won't do anything else. I will only give this name to Lu Yanhe so that he will be careful from now on and not fall into any trap. If you still want to keep it a secret, then I can't do anything. You should continue to keep it a secret."
"Li Zhenzhen!" Her father roared. He didn't expect that his unfilial daughter would threaten him.
Li Zhenzhen said, "Dad, you did such an extreme thing to him, I really thought he would leave and never return to "Young Days". If you watch "Friends", you will know what his attitude and personality are. But he didn't. Why do you think it was? Because he believed in me, believed that even if you were my dad, I would never get involved in your affairs, believed that I would never cheat him or hurt him. He is such a person, loyal. You told me since I was a child that people should be loyal, and friends should also make friends with loyal friends. I did it, so can you let me continue to be a loyal friend to a loyal friend?"
Li Zhenzhen's burning gaze shot into her father's eyes.
