Become famous another day.

"I suddenly felt very regretful." said Chen Ziyan.

Zou Dong, Wang Biao and others were walking in front, pushing the luggage cart, while Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan were walking behind.

There were so many people at the airport that Lu Yanhe had to wear sunglasses and a fisherman's hat to cover himself so as not to be recognized and cause a commotion.

Now Lu Yanhe will no longer be so naive as to think that he will no longer be a star if he goes abroad.

It must be admitted that the popularity of several dramas on streaming media and the global release of "The Mist" have greatly increased his popularity overseas.

Especially the movie "The Mist" -

This also fully reflects why Chen Ziyan asked Lu Yanhe to take on commercial films.

The global publicity and marketing of this film for Lu Yanhe, as well as its popularity, have made Lu Yanhe appear in people's sight many times, and he has been remembered by many people who didn't know him.

Lu Yanhe asked: "What's the regret?"

"You are not the protagonist of this movie." Chen Ziyan said, "Otherwise, I would try my best to win you a Best Actor award with this movie."

Lu Yanhe: "It's a pity. Huang Tianlin's camera language is really good."

"The key is that he didn't use any fancy equipment to shoot these images, and the budget for this film wasn't that high. He relied on the cooperation of all departments to shoot such high-quality shots. When the film is released, if the production budget is announced, it will definitely shock many people."

"Although he didn't waste money, he wasted time." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "My part in this movie could be finished in three to five days if it were another crew, but he forced me to shoot for eleven days. However, it's worth it even if it takes a little more time to shoot his scenes."

Chen Ziyan nodded, "Perhaps, he can really become a business card for Malaysian films around the world in the future."

"I am looking forward to seeing what the final editing of the movie 'Tropical Rain Season' will look like," said Lu Yanhe.

"I talked to Yuan Hai for a long time. He actually saw the value of Tropical Rain Season. He is a very far-sighted person. So far, he has not sold the overseas distribution of Tropical Rain Season." Chen Ziyan said, "He hopes to find a capable company to help Tropical Rain Season win awards."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised. "Does participating in the four major international film festivals require a distribution company to operate behind the scenes?"

"It may happen, but international film festivals generally have their own film selectors and channels, so they don't necessarily have to find a strong film company to run it." Chen Ziyan said, "For example, Huang Tianlin's first film, "Tropical Rain Season", received such a good reputation at the Toronto Film Festival. This is his second feature film, and you star in it. It must have been in the selection field of international film festivals, so there is no need to rely on other distribution companies. I think he was talking about the two more influential awards in the European and North American award seasons."

After hearing this, Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "Sister Zi Yan, see if you want to introduce the American Green Valley Film Company to him."

Midoriya was previously responsible for the distribution of "Road to Glory" in North America, and helped Lu Yanhe to get the Best Supporting Actor award during the awards season. Although he did not succeed in getting nominated for more influential awards in the end, he also helped him get many nominations of varying sizes, making him known to European and American media and film critics.

This year, Midoriya acquired the North American distribution rights for "Love Letter" for US$600 million.

They will see whether to run the awards season based on the response after the release.

Both collaborations were quite pleasant, so Lu Yanhe said this to Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan nodded and said, "I have already recommended it to him and given him the contact information. Let's see how they discuss it. We are not involved in the production and behind-the-scenes of "Tropical Rainy Season", so it is not easy for us to take the initiative to intervene. However, I have proposed to him that I hope to be the agent for the distribution of this film in China."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised: "Agent? Do we have a distribution channel?"

"We don't have one, but the company we work with does." Chen Ziyan said, "Although this movie is a Malaysian movie and cannot participate in the domestic awards, it has received a lot of attention because of your participation. I hope that this movie can be distributed well and not be sold to a mediocre film company and ruined."

"Does he agree?"

"He hopes that you can be deeply involved in the promotion of the film." Chen Ziyan smiled, "He is also unwilling to suffer any loss."

"That's normal." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Deeply participate in the promotion. Well, I think this movie is good and worth it. I am willing to do so."

Chen Ziyan: "Let me tell you first, Huang Tianlin's sub-contract in China will be signed to our Shihuolai, so I am inclined to think that you can deepen your cooperation with him in the future. I think that the two of you working together will be a win-win result."

"I think so too." Lu Yanhe nodded.

"Do you really not mind his attitude towards you at all?" Chen Ziyan asked.

"If you understand his attitude as one of saying one thing but doing another, you might be able to accept it a little bit." Lu Yanhe smiled, "If he really has something against me, looks down on me, and doesn't want to cooperate with me, then of course there's no need for me to rush forward. This is just a feeling. It may make me look shameless, but from the first time I met him, I kind of thought he was a child throwing a tantrum."

“Then don’t say this in front of him anymore. If he hears it, he’ll probably explode.” Chen Ziyan also laughed.

"You've only known him for two days, and you already know his character?"

"We just met, but we've known each other for more than two days. Moreover, after talking to Yuan Hai for so long, I have more or less known Huang Tianlin's personality. He is actually a very sensitive person. He is very keen on whether others look up to him and respect him." Chen Ziyan said, "Yuan Hai told me yesterday that the reason why Huang Tianlin gradually stopped competing with you was that he found that you did not look down on him as a new director as he expected, but actually respected him."

Lu Yanhe: "Yuan Hai really knows him well. On the first day I came, he gave me a shot of prevention. He was especially worried that I would break up with Huang Tianlin."

Chen Ziyan: "Huang Tianlin is lucky to have met someone like you who has a soft-spoken personality. If he were someone with a stronger personality, like Bi Ge, he might not want to act after just a few days of filming."

Lu Yanhe: "As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, Baozi has a good personality."

"Just be consistent with yourself," Chen Ziyan said. "Everyone has a different personality. There's no need to adjust to the same mold. But don't be embarrassed on the surface and feel bad about it, or feel upset and unwilling to back down even if you feel bad on the surface."

"Okay, my life mentor." Lu Yanhe smiled.

Chen Ziyan looked at the smile on Lu Yanhe's face and sighed, "Time flies so fast. It's been a year since you graduated."

"Yeah, I'm almost twenty-four."

It has been almost six years since I came into this world.

Lu Yanhe turned his head and looked at the bustling airport.

Sometimes, Lu Yanhe feels that the airport is really the place in the world where one cannot feel time the most.

No matter day or night, there are always people coming and going here, and you can see all kinds of people here.

However, you will never feel lonely or confused here, because for those who come here, there will definitely be a flight to take you where you want to go.

You have your heart set on something.

On June 14, several news items in the entertainment industry were released one after another and attracted much attention.

First, after Lu Yanhe finished filming "Tropical Rain Season", he returned to China. There were many fans at the airport to pick him up. Lu Yanhe once again emphasized that he did not want anyone to come to pick him up.

Second, Star Entertainment Agency issued an announcement that it will renew the contracts with its contracted artists Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, and set up studios for them respectively to explore new agency cooperation models.

Third, Meng Li has broken up with her boyfriend whom she had been dating for several months. She appeared at the recording site of the program "Director Please Give Me Advice" with a gloomy look, and it seems that she was seriously hurt.

……

This time when Lu Yanhe came back, it was rare that both Li Zhibai and Yan Liang had no work arrangements.

Not long after Lu Yanhe returned to Ziyuan Bridge, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang also returned one after another.

"You're finally back." Li Zhibai said with a smile.

Lu Yanhe was sitting on the carpet in the living room, eating a takeaway that had just arrived.

"Why are you eating at this time? Didn't you have lunch?" Yan Liang asked.

"I didn't want to eat airplane food, so I kept waiting to come back to eat it." Lu Yanhe said, "I missed it so much." "What did you eat?" Li Zhibai asked, and walked over to take a look. It turned out to be a cold dish.

He didn't care whether it was hygienic or not, he just reached out, grabbed a piece of beef and ate it.

"Wash your hands." Yan Liang said with some disgust.

Lu Yanhe smiled, "Don't let me get infected with bacteria."

Li Zhibai ignored him and said: "It's delicious. Give me some. I'm hungry too."

After he finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to get the dishes without waiting for Lu Yanhe to answer.

"Yan Liang, do you want it?"

"No." Yan Liang said, "You should eat less too. You have finally built up some muscle, don't put on weight."

Li Zhibai: "Oh my god, Lao Lu just came back today, let's not worry about whether to gain weight today, okay?"

Yan Liang showed a helpless expression.

Hearing the familiar bickering between the two people, Lu Yanhe laughed.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Have you two been trying to control your weight lately?"

"It's more than just controlling my weight. Yan Liang is like crazy. Whenever I don't have work, he drags me to the gym or to do action training." Li Zhibai lifted up his T-shirt, revealing a sturdy little body with six-pack abs. "Look at my abs, wow, I think they look handsome."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Yan Liang said: "Isn't this for the purpose of filming The Legend of Sword and Fairy in the best condition?"

Lu Yanhe: "Luckily, I played the role of a scholar in the film, haha."

The character Liu Jinyuan he played did not have such high requirements on physique and spirit.

He only needs these two months to whiten his tanned skin.

Li Zhibai: "I seriously doubt that you reserved this easiest role for yourself."

Lu Yanhe: "I am a screenwriter. If you have the ability, you can write a role for yourself that doesn't require such hard work."

Li Zhibai: "How hateful, this ugly face is so ugly."

As he said this, he scooped almost half of the cold dish into his bowl.

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Yan Liang laughed and said, "Yours is still uglier than this face."

Li Zhibai: "Go to hell."
-
It's rare for the three of them to meet together.

Lu Yanhe also asked about Li Zhibai and Yan Liang's contract renewal with Star Entertainment.

"We joined forces to negotiate with them together," Li Zhibai said. "To put it simply, the two of us were tied together. Either both of our demands were met and we both renewed our contracts, or neither of us renewed our contracts."

Yan Liang: "After your contract with Star Entertainment expires, among the male actors in Star Entertainment, only the two of us can have an impact on the stock price of Star Entertainment. If one of us stays and the other leaves, Star Entertainment can still bear it, but if both of us leave, the stock price will definitely plummet, which will affect the market's sentiment towards Star Entertainment. So, after we figured this out, we joined forces to negotiate with the company."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

There are only a handful of young male actors who can truly gain recognition from the platforms, can carry a drama, are recognized by advertisers, and are willing to invest in business. Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are two of them.

If Star Entertainment fails to retain any of its shareholders, the stock market will lack confidence in Star Entertainment in the short term.

Therefore, the initiative when two people negotiate with the company separately is completely different from when they negotiate together.

Li Zhibai said: "In the future, we will have the priority to choose any top film and television projects that Star Entertainment participates in."

Lu Yanhe: "In fact, you should have the right of first choice."

"But they are more willing to give it to other actors in the company." Yan Liang said, "In their eyes, we can get roles from outside and do not need the company's resources to support us, so they would rather train other people."

"If that's what they say, why sign with them? Just go it alone." Lu Yanhe complained.

In fact, whether it is Li Zhibai or Yan Liang, their popular film and television projects in recent years are almost not big productions that have been highly anticipated from the beginning. Li Zhibai himself has been criticized for always acting in idol dramas, which are popular but not of high quality. Even Yan Liang, who successively produced two popular high-quality and well-received dramas "Gold Rush" and "Mountain Top", did not believe that they would achieve such an effect when the project was first established. After all, even Ma Zhiyuan directly rejected the latter, and it became popular after it was broadcast.

But an actor can't always look for dark horse projects.

Especially for actors of their level, dark horse projects are just embellishments. The norm should be big productions, big projects, highly anticipated projects that have the potential to be the "king of dramas."

This type of project often involves several investors. For example, "Phoenix Tower" and "Golden Age" that Lu Yanhe participated in are both projects of this type. In this case, the selection of the main actors is always interfered by different investors.

However, in the past few years, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang have never participated in any of the top projects that Star Entertainment has participated in, and they have basically been external projects.

Whether they are willing to act in the end is one thing, but at least they should have the choice.

Otherwise, if they work hard to become famous and take on a foreign drama, the capital of the foreign drama will have to remember this favor to Xingyu and pay it back to Xingyu -

Because their agency is Star Entertainment. This is the rule of the game in this industry. No one will think that this is your personal choice. Even if the company did not play any role in your selection process, in the eyes of others, it means that your company supported them.

This has to be paid back.

As a result, the new talents that Star Entertainment wanted to promote used the opportunities they exchanged for to act in those dramas, while they didn't even have the chance to choose the projects that their own company participated in. It was a joke.

Lu Yanhe looked at Li Zhibai with a smile.

"During your negotiations with the company this time, you and Zhou Ping'an also had a lot of dealings, right? Can you communicate normally now?"

Li Zhibai: "Why can't I communicate with him?"

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded, not wanting to expose Li Zhibai's vanity of "saving face" - for a long time before, Li Zhibai would curse whenever he mentioned Zhou Ping'an. "By the way, has Ma Zhiyuan retired?"

"He went to do live streaming to sell goods." Yan Liang said, "Zhou Ping'an wanted him to act in those vertical screen short dramas, the kind of short dramas that are particularly melodramatic, but he refused to do it no matter what. Then he contacted a live streaming platform on his own and started selling goods."

"Zhou Ping'an agreed to do it himself?"

"Zhou Pingan doesn't want to care about him now. He just asked the company's legal department to help him look over the contract and confirm that he got every cent he was entitled to. He doesn't care about anything else." Yan Liang said, "Zhou Pingan also found two more trainees from the company and wanted to push them to become actors."

"He is now alone with you, Meng Li, and Cheng Hai. Cheng Hai is getting better now, right? Why is he still not satisfied?" Lu Yanhe was puzzled. "Can't he really make Cheng Hai a top player first?"

"He may be worried that Yan Liang will leave one day, and Cheng Hai may not be able to rise, so he takes advantage of the current good situation to quickly train new people." Li Zhibai said, "Isn't that what people say outside? He let Lu Yanhe go, and Ma Zhiyuan, Ma Zhiyuan is out of fashion, and Li Zhibai went to someone else, and Yan Liang rose again... He is the most fortunate person. He may have tasted the sweetness. He has more people in his hands. No matter how many people leave in the future, there will always be a few left."

Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang couldn't help laughing.

"But, speaking of it, Zhou Ping'an is really lucky. I feel lucky too." Li Zhibai sighed, "How can he always have someone to keep him going? Really, he has never lacked popular stars. Look at Meng Li now. Of course, the two of them are a perfect match. After Meng Li got to him, she was rumored to have a romance, and appeared on various variety shows. After appearing on the romance variety shows, she is now going to appear on "Director Please Give Me Advice". She is so popular that it seems like she has never been off the trending searches."

Lu Yanhe joked: "Maybe he saved the world in his previous life."
