Become famous another day.

Whether Yan Lingyu can play the role of Ling'er in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is secondary. Lu Yanhe now wants to know what happened to Yan Lingyu that made her suddenly give up the path of an actor.

In fact, since the release of "Late Spring", Lu Yanhe has not had much contact with the actors of this movie. Except for Wang Jing, who starred in "Squid Game" and was selected by Lu Yanhe to star in "Telephone" with Jiang Yuqian, the contact with other actors is only maintained during the New Year and festivals, when they greet each other a few times.

On the one hand, they didn't have much interaction in normal times, and on the other hand, when filming this movie, Lu Yanhe didn't have much personal relationship with them. At that time, Lu Yanhe had already become famous and had a higher status in the crew than Liu Bige. The other actors were all newcomers, and it was rare for them not to be nervous and restrained in front of Lu Yanhe, so how could they develop a good personal relationship with him?

Just from the perspective of normal interpersonal interactions, they all got to know each other because of this movie and have contact information, so compared to ordinary friends, they are still more familiar with each other.

Lu Yanhe immediately contacted Wang Jing to see if Wang Jing knew about Yan Lingyu's situation.

When Wang Jing heard his doubts, she explained, "Ling Yu acted in two movies afterwards, and both were criticized badly. She also lost her confidence in acting, and she refused to take any more roles afterwards."

Lu Yanhe didn't know about the two movies that Yan Lingyu had made later. He didn't even remember that there were these two movies. Maybe he was too busy at that time and didn't notice them.

Yan Lingyu had a huge conflict with her agency mainly because of these two movies. Both movies were given to her by her agency. After the release of "Late Spring", Yan Lingyu had actually become famous and received a lot of attention in the industry. Newcomers pay special attention to their starting point, and Yan Lingyu's starting point can basically be described as one of the highest starting points in the history of Chinese-language films, so that even if her acting skills are slightly inferior, she is not criticized.

No one has high expectations for a newcomer's acting skills, but the fact that she can act without being out of character and has such a face full of atmosphere is enough to make the industry wait for her to hone her acting skills and grow slowly.

Under such circumstances, Yan Lingyu was accepted by her agency to star in the next two films. Neither of the two films was a serious subject matter. One was a cruel love story of youth, and the other was a magical blockbuster. As a result, both films flopped at the box office and were severely criticized by the audience. Yan Lingyu, who played the leading role in the two films, was naturally the focus of criticism.

The scolding lasted for almost half a year, and then Yan Lingyu became autistic and refused to act anymore.

"Half a year ago I heard that she was going to terminate her contract with the agency, and I don't know how they negotiated it, and there has been no new developments since then." Wang Jing said, "Do you need me to ask?"

Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "Please ask for me."

"Okay." Wang Jing agreed, and then said, "In fact, she called me at that time and asked for my opinion."

"What's your opinion?" Lu Yanhe was a little confused.

"Can I ask you for help?" Wang Jing said, "I guess she didn't come to you in the end, right?"

"No, after the movie promotion is over, we just like the posts on WeChat Moments and send a few greetings during festivals."

"Sure enough, she was afraid of disturbing you and causing you trouble." Wang Jing said, "She wanted to terminate her contract with the company at that time. I told her that when I signed with the company, I listened to your advice, so I waited a year before signing with Northern Lights Video after the release of "Late Spring". She probably still felt that her matter was troublesome, so she didn't dare to talk to you."

"So, maybe she doesn't want to act anymore, but the contract restricts her and makes her unwilling to take the role?" Lu Yanhe asked.

"Maybe. But maybe Lingyu really doesn't want to act anymore. During the time when she was scolded by many people, she was really devastated. Qingqing and I went to accompany her. She didn't look good at all. I was afraid that she was depressed."

Wang Jing sighed.

"The main thing is, I heard from Kong Fan that she was also envied and excluded at school. The competition at Beijing Art Institute is very fierce, and the relationship between girls is even more subtle. If it weren't for the two movies, she might have a group of people flattering her with the halo of the heroine of "Late Spring". But after she was scolded, she was basically alienated. Kong Fan is a boy and has a girlfriend, so it's not convenient for him to help. So Qingqing and I would go to Beijing Art Institute from time to time to find her, or ask her out."

Lu Yanhe really knew nothing about these things.

This made him inexplicably depressed.

Although Lu Yanhe and Yan Lingyu did not have any personal relationship after filming, they were actors who had worked together and got along well during the filming. As a result, he didn't even hear about the kind of thing that happened to the other person afterwards.

Lu Yanhe told Wang Biao about this matter and asked Wang Biao to help him check what was going on between Yan Lingyu and her current agency.

Wang Biao has a wide network of contacts in the entertainment industry, and he quickly found out some basic information. After "Late Spring", Yan Lingyu signed with Feng Xiangbiao. Feng Xiangbiao is also a large company with strong strength. When it signed the contract with Yan Lingyu, it specially released news.

"Yan Lingyu's agent is Du Weixian. There are indeed rumors that Yan Lingyu and Du Weixian had a bad relationship last year. There was a program that was originally scheduled for Yan Lingyu, but was replaced at the last minute because Yan Lingyu refused to come." Wang Biao said, "It is said that Du Weixian accepted the program without Yan Lingyu's consent, and she had already broken up with Du Weixian at that time."

Lu Yanhe sighed.

"Yan Lingyu hasn't taken on any work for more than a year. Many people in the industry think she has been hidden by Feng Xiangvane."

"How long has she been under contract with Weathervane?"

"Eight years, with five years left."

Lu Yanhe: "..."
-
Lu Yanhe told Luo Yuzhong everything.

"Yan Lingyu may not be able to act in "Chinese Paladin" for the time being."

When Luo Yuzhong heard the latter part, his brows furrowed.

As a veteran, he is much more familiar with the entertainment industry than Lu Yanhe.

I don't know how many times I've seen this happen over the years.

He asked, "Have you talked to Yan Lingyu?"

"Not yet." Lu Yanhe said, "I plan to go directly to her. The last time I called her, she didn't say anything. She just said that she didn't want to act anymore. If I don't talk to her face to face, she probably won't tell me the truth. Wang Jing has helped me understand the situation. After all, her first play was filmed with me. I will see how I can help her. But this involves a conflict between her and the agency. Our play is about to start filming, so I guess I won't be able to make it in time."

Luo Yuzhong noticed the genuine concern on Lu Yanhe's face, nodded, and said, "I'll go talk to Feng Xiangbiao Company, and you can talk to Yan Lingyu to see what she thinks. She has such good looks and has starred in "Late Spring". It's a pity that she gave up being an actress so early."

Lu Yanhe didn't expect that Luo Yuzhong would take the initiative to ask to communicate with Fengxiangbiao Company. Does he admire Yan Lingyu so much?
However, to be honest, Yan Lingyu's looks are indeed top-notch even in the entertainment industry. She is not an ordinary beauty, her facial features are very storytelling, and her natural cold and taciturn temperament makes her unforgettable in "Late Spring". To some extent, although she is not a replica of the Fairy Sister, her temperament is unique.

Perhaps a director like Luo Yuzhong, the more actors he meets, the more he understands what kind of face is precious.
-
"The director may have decided that Yan Lingyu should play the role of Ling'er."

Talking about this matter, Chen Siqi expressed his own guess.

"In the story of Chinese Paladin, the role of Ling'er is quite important. You can say that she is the background of the story. Although you wrote this story completely according to Li Xiaoyao's growth line, Ling'er occupies the biggest key in Li Xiaoyao's growth line." Chen Siqi said, "Li Xiaoyao is the real part, and Ling'er is the imaginary part, who is more spiritual, pure, and like a beauty that can't really exist in the world. If this character can't stand up, the whole story will be discounted."

Chen Siqi's words shocked Lu Yanhe.

Of course, he knew how important the character of Ling'er was to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". When the drama became popular, it was obviously a male-centered drama, but the character of Ling'er almost seemed to be able to compete with Li Xiaoyao. This was because the character's personality was too perfect, almost the most perfect personality that had ever appeared in a film or TV series, and both boys and girls liked it.

But before the show came out, Chen Siqi clearly understood the importance of the character Ling'er to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" just by reading the script. Her importance was not just as a heroine. Lu Yanhe increasingly felt how accurate Chen Siqi's judgment and vision were on a show.

No wonder Chen Siqi can always find the most appropriate way to promote and market a drama. Someone who doesn't really understand the drama won't be able to figure out what the most appropriate way is.

Lu Yanhe said: "I still haven't figured out how to tell Yan Lingyu about this."

Chen Siqi thought for a moment and said, "I think you should first find out whether she is still willing to film. This is the most important thing. If she has no intention of doing so, even if you help her solve the problem with the agency, it will be useless. You have to find other actors as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded. "I've already made an appointment with her to have lunch together near her house tomorrow at noon. How about you go with me? I don't know her very well, and it would be awkward if it was just the two of us."

Chen Siqi said, "It's okay for me to go with you, but I don't know her, and it might make it harder for her to speak up. Didn't Wang Jing say that? She wanted to ask you for help before, but she didn't in the end because she didn't want to trouble you."

"Too."

Chen Siqi: "Just talk to her openly. First, the role in "Chinese Paladin" is indeed suitable for her. Second, apart from "Chinese Paladin", you two have worked together before and have such a fate. It is not right to turn a blind eye to where you can help. Tell her to stop being so closed. Put yourself in her shoes. In fact, if I were her, I would definitely need your help right now, but I am embarrassed to ask. She has only been in the entertainment industry for a short time, and you may be the most capable person she knows to help her solve this problem."

Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
Yan Lingyu still looks the same as when he was filming before, as if nothing has changed.

She came alone, without bodyguards or assistants, and only wore light makeup. She didn't look like a female star, but more like a college student.

Lu Yanhe praised: "It's still so beautiful."

Yan Lingyu smiled, lowered his head, waved his hands, and said, "I'm so sorry, Yan He, thank you for thinking of me in your play, but I may really not be suitable to be an actor."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Before the greetings even started, Yan Lingyu got straight to the point.

This made him a little confused.

"It's okay, let's sit down." Lu Yanhe said, "I was also shocked when I suddenly heard you say that you don't want to act anymore. I asked Wang Jing, and then I learned about what happened to you after filming "Late Spring"."

Yan Lingyu smiled with a somewhat lonely tone.

“It’s embarrassing.”

"How could that be? This has nothing to do with you." Lu Yanhe said firmly, "It's because the director didn't find your good points and film them. Look at how good you performed in "Late Spring". You amazed everyone."

The light in Yan Lingyu's eyes was dim, and even such words did not seem to move her much.

"Besides, I also heard about your company." Lu Yanhe changed the subject and said, "Ling Yu, you said you don't want to act anymore. Is it because you really don't want to act, or is it because of the relationship with the agency?"

Yan Lingyu stared at Lu Yanhe in a daze.

"Although we don't usually contact each other, if you need any help, you can come to us, although I may not be able to help you." Lu Yanhe said very seriously, "In addition to wanting to understand your thoughts on acting, I also want to ask you in person what the current situation between you and the agency is, and what I can do to help you?"

Yan Lingyu's eyes really turned red in an instant.

It's no exaggeration.

Maybe even the movie special effects are not as fast as hers.

People's emotions are sometimes like thunder and heavy rain, coming suddenly and without warning.
-
Lu Yanhe waited for Yan Lingyu to calm down and began to tell her what happened between her and her agency. He actually felt relieved when he heard the end.

The conflict between Yan Lingyu and her agency is actually not big, but also not small.

To put it bluntly, the two films that Yan Lingyu took on according to the company's requirements received very bad responses, which dealt a serious blow to Yan Lingyu. As a result, she began to question the roles the company had given her and refused to cooperate with the work the company had given her.

Feng Xiangbiao did not realize that at this moment Yan Lingyu was actually just hurt by the previous results. If he was coaxed and persuaded, he would be fine.

They regarded Yan Lingyu as a disobedient actor and were determined to teach him a lesson.

As a result, Yan Lingyu, who had already been criticized for his performance in the movie, was surrounded by negative comments almost all the time due to the attacks of the internet trolls arranged by the company.

The company even asked everyone from top to bottom to ignore Yan Lingyu and not treat her well.

Yan Lingyu's mood and state collapsed directly under this situation. By the time Yan Lingyu realized that all this was directed by the company, her mentality had collapsed countless times. Even if she knew why the surrounding environment was cold and hostile to her, she had no power to compete with the company.

Yan Lingyu was "taught a lesson" and felt helpless and disheartened. She had thought about whether she could ask Lu Yanhe and Liu Bige for help, but she knew that even Lu Yanhe and Liu Bige could not help her when it came to her agency contract. She asked the company to terminate the contract, and the company directly offered a termination fee of 30 million yuan.

Since she entered this industry, she has never seen even 3 million, let alone 30 million.

A huge mountain was pressing down on her and she had no way to get over it.

So, just like that, she decided to throw the jar into the ground and stop being an artist and acting.
-
"It's not a big deal, actually. If she had been able to give in, lower her head, and tell the truth, we wouldn't have ignored her for so long. When we signed her, we invested a lot of resources in her. If she doesn't work, we're the ones who lose. The girl is arrogant and doesn't listen to arrangements. We've arranged shows for her, including being a regular guest on a popular variety show. We spent a lot of effort to get her to do it, but she won't go if she says she doesn't want to go."

Luo Yuzhong sat in the room of the boss of Weathervane Agency, listening to another man's complaints and grumblings with the boss of Weathervane Agency.

Yan Lingyu’s agent, Du Weixian.

"It's her honor that you chose her and asked her to act." Du Weixian smiled and said, "But she does have a tough temper, director. She doesn't even answer my calls now. In fact, I have a newcomer in my hands, a newcomer who just signed a contract. Her appearance is no worse than Yan Lingyu. Do you want to meet her?"

Luo Yuzhong: "It can be seen that there are still some roles that have not been decided for this drama, but the best candidate for the heroine in my mind is Yan Lingyu. Mr. Chen, if you are willing to give me this face, it should not be a loss to let her play my drama. This drama is a fairy tale drama starring Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang. I don’t need to say how much attention the heroine of this drama will receive. After the show is broadcast, you can slowly sort out the internal affairs between Yan Lingyu and your company. What do you think?"

Du Weixian wanted to speak again.

Mr. Chen glanced over and Du Weixian shut his mouth instantly.

Mr. Chen smiled at Luo Yuzhong and said, "Director, it is an honor for Yan Lingyu that you have chosen her. It is also an honor for us. Don't worry, we will definitely send Yan Lingyu to the crew to report before the crew starts filming."

Luo Yuzhong nodded, "Thank you very much, Mr. Chen. It is normal for young people to have tempers and lose their temper. I think Yan Lingyu has definitely grown after this incident. We, as elders, should be more tolerant and less angry. When they grow up, they will naturally understand our feelings."

Mr. Chen nodded.

"We will organize a round of auditions later. There are still many roles in our drama that have not been cast yet. When the time comes, please ask Mr. Chen to send more actors with potential to try out and provide us with more options." Luo Yuzhong smiled.

"For Director Luo's plays, as long as our actors have time, we will let them audition." Mr. Chen said with a smile, "Please give them more guidance. It doesn't matter whether they get the audition in the end. It will be beneficial for them if you can give them some pointers."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries and finalized the matter. Mr. Chen personally sent Luo Yuzhong to the elevator door. After he got off, he turned to Du Weixian and said, "What's going on with Yan Lingyu? When did we hide her? Isn't she the heroine of Late Spring?" Du Weixian's face changed slightly and he opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but Mr. Chen didn't seem to want to listen to him.

"Please ask Mr. Wen to come to my office."

Mr. Wen, Wen Ken, is the vice president of Fengxiangbiao Company, in charge of artist management coordination.

This time, Du Weixian's expression did not just change slightly, but changed completely.
-
"Buzz." The phone vibrated.

After having a meal with Lu Yanhe, Yan Lingyu returned to the apartment and picked up his cell phone.

On the phone was a message from Lu Yanhe: Director Luo has already talked to your company's boss. They will change your agent and support you in acting in "The Chinese Paladin". How far your relationship with your company will go after that depends on you. But no matter how you choose to handle it, the stronger you are, the more choices you will have. I still hope that you can seriously consider the drama "The Chinese Paladin". If you act in it, maybe it can completely change your current situation.

Yan Lingyu sat on the sofa, looking at the message on the mobile phone screen. He read it over and over again. He was silent for a long time and hesitated for a long time.

In the restaurant, Lu Yanhe told her that it was not uncommon for artists to be bullied and exploited by their agencies. He understood her current lack of confidence and self-deprecation, but this was not a problem of acting skills. This was a question of whether she should stand up and bear it when she was suppressed in her life.

Lu Yanhe's words were like a millstone, grinding on her heart.

Yan Lingyu still lacks confidence. Because he has not worked or acted for more than a year, he has been alone at home almost all the time and has lost his sensitivity to the outside world.

acting?

At this moment, Yan Lingyu suddenly covered his face and couldn't help crying.
-
"Yan Lingyu is actually not a very confident person."

Wang Jing sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. Next to her was Kong Fan.

Lu Yanhe specially made an appointment with the two of them to eat hotpot at Ziyuanqiao tonight - it was also because of Yan Lingyu's incident that made him realize that he had not been in touch with his friends in the "Late Spring" crew for too long.

He Qingqing was originally invited to attend, but she was filming on the set and had to be absent.

Lu Yanhe was very surprised and asked, "She has a face like that, but she's not confident?"

"She has been very pretty since she was young, so her mother has always suppressed her and said that she has no other advantages except her good looks, and that she is useless." Wang Jing sighed, "So she has always been very unconfident. When she is with us, she doesn't talk much. At first, I thought she was aloof and didn't want to talk to us."

Kong Fan: "She does give everyone this impression at school. Everyone says she is as proud as a swan. That's why no one dares to approach her. Girls don't care. Even the boys in our school think she is a flower from the top. No one dares to approach her."

Lu Yanhe was actually quite surprised by what Kong Fan and Wang Jing said.

Because this completely shattered Lu Yanhe's impression of Yan Lingyu.

However, putting these words of the two of them together with Yan Lingyu, it does not seem inconsistent. Because Yan Lingyu is indeed like that at ordinary times, but the way of interpretation is different.

"I still hope she can resolve the conflict with the company." Wang Jing said, resting her chin on her hand.

At this time, Chen Siqi came back.

Lu Yanhe heard the noise at the door and stood up in surprise.

"Why are you back now? Didn't you say you had a dinner date with someone?"

"I have a dinner date, so I came back to change my clothes." Chen Siqi said, "I accidentally spilled coffee on myself during the day, and the mark is too obvious."

Only then did Lu Yanhe notice that there was a darker mark on Chen Siqi's waist - but because she was wearing a dark blue shirt today, it would not be noticed unless you looked closely.

Chen Siqi greeted Wang Jing and Kong Fan first.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't eat hot pot with you guys because I had work arranged in advance. Ah, I really want to eat hot pot--"

She looked at the hot pot with shining eyes and waved to Wang Jing and Kong Fan, "I have to go in and change my clothes, otherwise I will be late. You guys take your time eating."

It took Chen Siqi only five minutes to change into a set of clothes. She still smiled and said goodbye to Wang Jing and Kong Fan in a proper manner before leaving.

Although the whole process was quite hectic, it gave people a warm feeling of being well cared for.

"I'll take her downstairs for a while. You guys eat first, I'll be right back."

Lu Yanhe sent Chen Siqi downstairs.

Wang Jing and Kong Fan looked at each other.

The hot pot was bubbling between their lines of sight.

After a while, Wang Jing said, "How can they be so sweet? It makes me want to fall in love."

Kong Fan smiled.

"Then you can fall in love. Haven't you met someone you like?"

"I did run into people, but I always felt that dating would affect my work. The two people I dated before both complained that I was too busy with work and didn't have time to date them, so I gave up."

"Why don't you work a little harder? I actually find it strange that you have the strongest ambition I've ever seen."

"Are Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi's ambitions weak? How come they are so perfect together and have both career and love success? I want to have both, too." Wang Jing pouted. "Alas, if Ling Yu had half the personality of Chen Siqi, she wouldn't be so upset."

Kong Fan: "She just signed with the agency too early. If she had waited like you to sign with the agency after "Late Spring" was released, the contract terms would have been much better."

"I have to thank Lu Yanhe for this. He advised me not to rush to sign the contract. After the work was released, the situation was completely different." Wang Jing said, "Ling Yu is obviously the heroine, and she received the most attention in "Late Spring", but I was the one who benefited the most, because the contract terms between me and Northern Lights promised that I would have a heroine role every year."

Kong Fan: "From the beginning, Ling Yu felt that she was fooled by Feng Xiangbiao. After she knew that the contract terms she got were so bad, she had conflicts with her agent. Later, as you know, she didn't want to act in the two movies that her agent asked her to act in at the beginning, but her agent forced her to act in them. In the end, everything went wrong and their relationship completely broke down."

Wang Jing: "Fortunately, Yan He helped her coordinate this time."

"Actually, Yan He is a very nice person. I regret not keeping in touch with him because I was afraid of disturbing him." Kong Fan suddenly thought of something, smiled, and said, "Actually, I was shocked when I received his call today. I thought something was wrong."

Wang Jing: "Who told you to think so much? You've been filming with him for such a long time. Others don't know, but don't you know what kind of person he is in private? Anyway, I basically ask for his opinion when I have something to do. He has experienced much more than us. His opinion can help us avoid many detours."

"You've worked with him so many times, so of course it's OK if you ask him."

"Didn't I just work with him once like you did at the beginning? And, you were the one who knew him best during the filming, but you were too timid to bother him. Who can you blame?" Wang Jing said, "Besides, why should you be afraid of bothering him? If you take advantage of him, you will become better and more famous. You can also help him. He started the Jump Up Theater, and at first no actor was willing to perform in this kind of experimental short play. Now, we will perform it."

Kong Fan smiled, "It would be nice if I had your mentality."

"I'd be surprised if you didn't have that mentality." Wang Jing said, "Do you still expect Yan He to take the initiative to pay attention to what you need?"

"No, I never thought of asking him to help me with anything in particular." Kong Fan sighed, "Not everyone can be as casual as you."

"Whatever?" Wang Jing rolled her eyes immediately. "Are you hinting at something?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Kong Fan also realized that he had said the wrong thing. "What I meant is that this is determined by personality. You are very generous and can express your own ideas. But neither I nor Yan Lingyu are like this. It's not that we don't want to, but we are unable to do so."

The two looked at each other.

The hot pot was still bubbling between them.
-
When Yan Lingyu was finally confirmed to play the role of Ling'er, Lu Yanhe thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that in addition to Ling'er, Luo Yuzhong also had an interest in another very important female character, Lin Yueru.

Xiao Yun.

However, before Lu Yanhe could say anything, Luo Yuzhong rejected it himself.

Firstly, with Xiao Yun's current popularity and status, there is no need for her to play the second female lead in a fairy tale drama starring a male protagonist. Secondly, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" does not have any extra budget to pay Xiao Yun's salary.

With Xiao Yun's current market pay, even if she only asked for a friendship price, it would definitely be close to 10 million.

Luo Yuzhong instructed the casting director to find an actress who looked like Xiao Yun.

As for another important role, Anu, Luo Yuzhong finally had no potential candidate and decided to leave the role to audition.

This was the first time that Lu Yanhe saw how Luo Yuzhong selected the actors during the early stages of preparing for a drama.

For some roles, Luo Yuzhong already has suitable actors in mind, but for some other roles, Luo Yuzhong has no suitable actors in mind for the time being. For these roles, the casting director needs to find those who meet the basic requirements and then invite them to audition.

At the beginning, Luo Yuzhong went to Star Entertainment to organize an audition for a role with not many lines in the drama "The Golden Age", which shows how high his requirements for actors are.

Lu Yanhe also discovered that almost all good directors attach great importance to casting.

Even Lu Yanhe felt that it was too much importance.

Luo Yuzhong obviously already had a picture in his mind of what kind of actor should play each role. Luo Yuzhong crossed out many actors who Lu Yanhe thought were quite suitable after watching the video without hesitation.

He already had a clear idea of ​​what "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was going to be like.
-
Northern Lights Video also brought out their latest production management system, which will be used for the filming of "The Chinese Paladin".

In the past, the filming of a play required countless group chats, phone calls, and on-site meetings, which involved the cooperation of various departments and various types of work. This process was laborious and error-prone. The production management system developed by Northern Lights Video can gather information on shooting materials, fund use, shooting progress, crew props, scene dynamics, etc. in real time. All departments can directly see the progress of each department in this system.

Moreover, for green screen dramas with a lot of special effects like The Legend of Sword and Fairy, it can provide real-time virtual scene technology, allowing the samples shot on site to directly present a rough effect combined with special effects, thereby judging whether the shooting material can be used, and if not, it can be re-shot immediately.

In the past, such problems might not be discovered until the editing room. At that time, reshooting would either be time-consuming and laborious, or impossible, and could only be solved by other technical means, which would affect the final quality of the film.

Actors can also see at any time on the spot what their performances will look like on the screen, making it easier for directors and actors to make adjustments and avoiding the poor effects of actors’ performances being out of sync with special effects production in later stages.

Luo Yuzhong is very interested in the production management system provided by Northern Lights. He has been studying it and communicating with Lu Yanhe from time to time.

Lu Yanhe also learned the most advanced system for domestic film and television production.

This completely changes the way traditional crews shoot.

He can foresee that when such a production management system is promoted throughout the industry, there will be a major change in the production process of the entire industry.

However, this will not happen in the short term, because this is a system developed by Northern Lights Video itself and is not authorized to be disclosed to the outside world.

Luo Yuzhong said: "Xiaohe, let's talk to Northern Lights and ask them to at least share this technology with us. How much time and energy can we save in filming with such a system?"

Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.

"Then I have to discuss it with them. I don't know if they will agree," he said.

Luo Yuzhong said: "This thing is really good. It can even directly simulate the shooting effect through the early design of the shooting scene and the lens movement line, so that I can directly see the basic effect of different shooting plans in this system. The on-site lighting test and camera movement can all be simulated in this system to get the best solutions."

Luo Yuzhong became more and more excited as he spoke.

Lu Yanhe said, "Okay, teacher, let's go talk to them later and ask them to authorize us to use this production management system, even if we have to pay a usage fee."

Only then did Luo Yuzhong nodded with satisfaction.

"Then when you come back from the Jose-Hi Film Festival, we will first tell Northern Lights about this, and secondly, start auditions." Luo Yuzhong said, "Before that, I will take the art team to check out the locations and see which scenes can be filmed."

"it is good."

Directors like Luo Yuzhong, although they also embrace current special effects technology, still prefer to shoot on location when it is possible. This is a habit developed by directors of their generation, and also their basic aesthetic view.

No matter how good the special effects produced by computers are, there will always be some distortion.

Lu Yanhe certainly supported his teacher's idea.

His teacher is willing to direct the play, which means the play is already halfway to success. (End of this chapter)
