Become famous another day.
Chapter 620: Little Kid, Little Kid in Charge
Ability to sell globally -
This sentence touched Chen Siqi.
They have been trying to find ways to promote the sales and distribution of "Jump Up" overseas.
However, in an environment where physical books are becoming increasingly less popular, it is indeed difficult to go against the trend like in China.
In the past two years, they have tried various methods, but have not seen any improvement.
In terms of overseas publishing and distribution, it has always been in a loss-making state.
The main reason, of course, is not the problem of the overall environment of physical books. If the failure is justified because of the bad overall environment, then there is no need to take any action at all.
However, movies are universal. Taking this international film festival as an opportunity, I invite all film critics to write an article to record this trip, focusing on their attitude towards movies and their comments on the movies they watched. These film critics have audiences all over the world. Although they may not have as many fans as other celebrities and stars, those who really pay attention to them will generally go to see the movies as long as they publish an article.
Chen Siqi inexplicably felt that this plan was feasible and reliable.
"The print run in each place may not be very large. Except for China, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, the first print run can reach 10,000 copies. For other places, according to our calculations, it will only be around a few thousand copies." Lin Yu also directly put the market estimation calculation table that she and the marketing department made in front of Chen Siqi, "But we are all very optimistic about the long-term sales of this book."
Chen Siqi nodded, picked it up and took a look, then said, "I think it's feasible. However, we haven't communicated this matter with the film critics who are attending the film festival. We need to communicate this matter with them as soon as possible to see if they are willing to participate."
Having said that, Chen Siqi feels that it shouldn't be difficult.
The main job of a film critic is to write articles.
This is not difficult or problematic for them.
Lin Yu said: "For our project, we can actually apply for some cultural funds in our country, so that we can reduce the risk of loss."
Chen Siqi shook her head directly: "Our film festival does not have any official background. If it is funded by the Cultural Fund, it may be deliberately used by some foreign media to exaggerate some negative things. This is not good for our entire overseas development plan. This book must be published in Chinese first. When the time comes, we will talk to overseas publishers one by one to see how to cooperate specifically. The costs we need to bear in the early stage are actually the manuscript fees and translation fees, as well as some basic expenses for book publishing. What to do later depends on the situation. There is no rush. Even if there is a loss in the end, it’s okay. The losses in publishing are all small losses. It will be beneficial to our entire brand of Jumping to establish influence overseas, which is the main contradiction."
Lin Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's great that you agreed to do this," she said. "I was worried that you wouldn't want to do it. After all, there are so many things going on at the film festival right now, and the sales prospects of this book aren't very good."
"No, I think the idea of this book is great. A film festival is done, what can be left behind?" Chen Siqi said, "We do have live audience Q&A, forums, and several live broadcasts, and there will be video and audio left. However, these can only be a kind of record. But this book can continue to sell - if we can make it a 'treasure book' that all movie lovers know. In fact, many books on movies are like this, not well-known to the general public, but they have always been bestsellers in their own small field."
Linyu nodded.
"Then let's get started," she said with a smile.
-
"You also want me to write an article?" Lu Yanhe showed some surprise.
"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded. "As one of the planners of this film festival, you will also participate. If you don't write an article, the book will be incomplete. Of course, from a commercial perspective, having you write an article will also facilitate our cooperation negotiations with various publishers for this book."
Hearing this, Lu Yanhe said without hesitation, "Well, I'm just afraid that I can't write well. I usually just write some small articles. Compared with these professional film critics, my articles seem superficial."
"Different types. Besides, as a filmmaker who has achieved such great success worldwide, you say you are superficial?" Chen Siqi rolled her eyes at Lu Yanhe. "I advise you not to be too modest. Excessive modesty is also a form of arrogance."
Lu Yanhe laughed.
The phone rang suddenly.
It turned out to be a call from Wang Zhong.
"Director?" Lu Yanhe answered the phone in surprise. "Any instructions?"
"I want to ask, will you hold a party or a gathering for the Film Critics Festival that you are going to hold at the end of the month?" Wang Zhong said, "If so, I would like you to give me a few invitations. There are a few kids in my company who are their readers. If there is a chance, I would like to meet them in person."
Lu Yanhe said, "We have planned three events to invite friends in the industry. How many people do you have, Director? I'll send you the invitations."
"Okay, I have three here, you can give me four. I'll go with you when I'm free." Wang Zhong said, "It's not easy for you and Siqi to organize this film festival. You didn't get any sponsorship, so you did it all by yourself?"
Lu Yanhe: "This is our first time, and we are afraid that too many external factors will deteriorate the nature of this film festival, so we are a little cautious. We don't plan to do it on a large scale, and the cost is not very high, so we will bear the cost ourselves."
Wang Zhong: "Okay, I wish you all the best in this film festival. See you later."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe smiled and told Chen Siqi what Wang Zhong meant by his call.
Chen Siqi: "The industry is quite interested in our film festival. Many film and television companies and platforms have contacted us and wanted to participate and work together, but I rejected them all. In fact, it is just a film critics' film festival. Our Chinese-language films basically do not rely on the overseas market. They just think it is new and want to join in the fun. They don't really think such a film festival is worth their while."
Lu Yanhe: "Fewer people from outside, more pure discussions, try to concentrate all the content that is not related to the movie discussion in those few social occasions, this will make everyone feel more comfortable."
"Yeah." Chen Siqi nodded.
Lu Yanhe is a typical example of this kind of character.
He is not against socializing, but he doesn't want to be in a social state all the time.
He would rather have a concentrated period of time to focus on a certain type of thing, just like when he was doing publicity.
If you have to act, write scripts, give interviews, and deal with other chores in a day, and then one or two unfamiliar people come to greet you, you will really explode.
Chen Siqi: "It's just that Love Letter will not be screened at the film festival this time, and several film critics who attended expressed their doubts."
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "Love Letter is not a film suitable for discussion and analysis as a text at a film festival like this."
Chen Siqi: "But the film should start promoting it, right?"
"The early promotion has never stopped, but we will indeed start intensive promotion for the Qixi Festival release soon." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Although I have been emphasizing that the box office of this movie may only be 1 to 3 million, which will not be too high, people in the company still think that the box office can be boosted."
"You can't use common sense to look at movies of this genre. As long as it's about youth and love, it's either like you said, generally a small-scale box office. If it weren't for you and Sister Bi Ge, normally it would only make tens of millions. But once the movie sparked a topic and touched on everyone's nostalgia for youth, the box office would soar like a tornado." Chen Siqi said, "This type of movie is different from hard-industrial movies, and it's also different from those creative movies. It especially depends on the degree of social discussion."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Sister Zixing and I have already come up with a publicity plan."
"Sister Zixing? Isn't she busy with the production of "China in Classics" and some other programs now?" Lu Yanhe said, "She just made "The Birth of the Actors" not long ago. Now she has finally returned to make her favorite cultural programs."
Chen Siqi said: "We decided to create a new show and use it to promote Love Letter."
"What?" Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Siqi in disbelief. "To promote a movie, you're making a new show? Isn't that too exaggerated?"
Chen Siqi shook her head. "It's not an exaggeration. The show 'Rooftop Confessions' is still very popular and has been going strong for a long time. What we want to do is actually a bit similar to this. We want to make a show called 'How are you? I'm fine', collecting ten secret love stories from all over the country, writing the secret love stories into a letter, and inviting the person being secretly loved to read the letter."
Lu Yanhe's eyes widened in shock. "Let the secret admirer write down the secret love story in a letter, and let the secret admirer read the letter on the show? What kind of operation is this?"
Chen Siqi: "At the end of the show, the person being secretly admired is asked to guess the identity of the letter writer. If they guess correctly, we will provide them with a date trip, providing them with a chance to get to know each other again and communicate. If they guess incorrectly, the person being secretly admired will never know who wrote the letter and who is secretly in love with them."
Lu Yanhe: "Who came up with the idea for this program?"
"Sister Zixing," Chen Siqi said, "I just said that the theme of Love Letter is letters and secret crushes, and then she came up with this idea."
"Why do I feel like this show will be a hit?" Lu Yanhe said, "But the premise is, where can you collect these stories from?"
Chen Siqi: "Sister Zixing's team has already started collecting related stories through their channels. Of course, we will also conduct an open collection nationwide, which is also part of the promotion of "Love Letter". However, we plan to start broadcasting this program two weeks before "Love Letter" is released. Before "Love Letter" is released, we will only broadcast two episodes, two secret love stories, to avoid fatigue for the audience. We will control these rhythms well, so you don't have to worry."
Lu Yanhe: "The idea of this show... I can imagine what kind of attention and discussion this show will generate as long as the people and stories are good enough."
Chen Siqi smiled.
"But it's quite difficult to find people, so we don't have a fixed number of issues. We'll do that many issues based on how many stories we find. The person involved must look good, and must satisfy everyone's fond memories of their secret crush on that person when they were young. There must be regrets, and there must be special and touching stories. We'll try to find three such stories," said Chen Siqi.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.
"I don't know what to say... I just told you that I don't think the box office of Love Letter will be very high, but after listening to your promotion method, I suddenly feel that the box office of the movie may really explode."
Chen Siqi: "Linghe paid us an eight-figure publicity fee, so we have to show some of our best skills."
She had a smug smile on her face.
"Moreover, this program can also earn copyright fees." Chen Siqi said, "We have already had preliminary discussions with Northern Lights Video and Icefield Video about this program, and the program will be broadcast on these two platforms at the same time."
For a program like this, without any celebrity artists, the production cost would actually be very low. Instead, in order to let more people know about the program, it would be necessary to promote the program itself.
Chen Siqi said: "You paid tens of millions of dollars to us for the film promotion, and we had to use a large portion of it to promote the program. However, we all felt that this program is highly compatible with the direction of the film promotion and is worth doing."
Lu Yanhe: "I think so too. Just by listening to you talk about the idea of this program, I think it's worth doing."
No show has ever done that.
-
Lu Yanhe's schedule suddenly became busy.
The first is the preparation of the early publicity materials for "Love Letter"——
Recording talk shows, shooting magazines, recording various promotional materials with Chen Bige and Zhang Ruozhi who had just finished the college entrance examination, etc.
The second is the preparation for the International Film Festival of Film Critics——
Although Lu Yanhe did not have to do any specific work, he still needed to personally connect with many important people, including the chairman of the Jose Antonio Film Festival who had been planning to come.
The third is the script for the second season of "Friends" and the script for the second season of "Squidward Powers".
Of these two scripts, Lu Yanhe wrote the former smoothly and only needed to adjust it according to their actual situation. In fact, the characters and plots all had very clear original works. As for the latter... Lu Yanhe had to start writing his own original work. Originally, Lu Yanhe really wanted to give up the second season of "Squid Game". He knew himself well. He was not a truly genius screenwriter, but just a time traveler with a "golden finger". However, Maxine and Northern Lights Video both strongly wanted to develop the second season of "Squid Game". Lu Yanhe himself also wanted to try to see if he had the ability to stand on the shoulders of giants and write a sequel story based on the work of his predecessors.
……
While Lu Yanhe was busy with these things, Chen Ziyan finally received good news.
When filming "Tropical Rainforest" before, Lu Yanhe proposed to sign a contract with Huang Feng.
Huang Feng's mother Huang Fenglian hoped that they could help arrange for Huang Feng to return to China to study and receive education.
Chen Ziyan has been busy with this matter since then, studying policies, looking for people and connections, running around, and finally helped Huang Feng contact an international school that would accept him.
After several rounds of communication, Huang Fenglian finally agreed to let Huang Feng sign a contract with Shihuo and become a foreign customer of Shihuo.
Huang Fenglian brought Huang Feng to Yuming, and Chen Ziyan arranged for people to help them find and rent a house, from handling all kinds of materials to preparing toiletries, etc., everything was taken care of.
There is no way. Huang Feng’s situation is special, so Chen Ziyan can only worry more.
Lu Qingzhen said with a smile: "You signed a child, and you are so busy running around that you are almost like a mother to him."
Chen Ziyan said: "What can we do?"
"I really can't wait to watch the movie 'Tropical Rain Season' to see how good this little boy's acting is and whether it's worth you going to such a big fuss to sign him." Lu Qingzhen said with a smile.
"If you have nothing to do tonight, why not have dinner with us?" Chen Ziyan said, "Yan He invited the mother and son to dinner. Huang Feng will be an artist of our company from now on, so you should get to know him."
Lu Qingzhen nodded and said okay.
-
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe's alarm clock rang, and he woke up as if from a dream and turned his neck.
He spent the whole afternoon typing on his laptop.
painful.
Writing the second season of Squidward Gamble was as painful as writing the second season of Friends.
He also made a decision. If he wanted to open a cheat code, he had to open it all the way to the end. He would not open a game like "Squid Game" which only opened the beginning and had no sequel.
Lu Yanhe stood up, looked in the mirror, found a baseball cap and put it on, then put on sunglasses.
It's so hot, he doesn't want to wear a mask.
Zou Dong was already waiting for him downstairs.
On the left side of the back seat is the gift that I will give to Huang Feng later.
This was bought by Zou Dong for him.
"Brother Dong, this shouldn't be a limited edition or something, right?" Lu Yanhe asked.
This is a schoolbag, which contains various stationery that Huang Feng will need later.
Because Zou Dong went to "Baixing", the brand endorsed by Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe asked one more question.
Zou Dong: "At first they wanted to give me a limited edition, but I changed it. Didn't you say it? Just ordinary and practical ones are fine."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "Although he attends an international school, he is a contracted actor of Shihuo and has also acted in a movie with me. With the speed at which domestic media dig up information, his classmates and parents will know his background, so it is better for him to keep a low profile."
Zou Dong nodded.
Lu Yanhe asked: "Brother Dong, is Xiaoyu going to junior high school too?"
Zou Dong nodded and said, "I will be promoted to junior high school this year."
"Where?"
"Your alma mater, the junior high school of No. 13 Middle School." Zou Dong said with a smile.
"Oh——" Lu Yanhe immediately laughed, "My junior brother."
Zou Dong said: "I was lucky. My score was three points higher than the admission score."
It seems that Zou Yu took part in the entrance examination for No. 13 Middle School.
To be able to pass the entrance examination to No. 13 Middle School, your grades must be very good.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "We should celebrate this properly, right?"
Zou Dong smiled and said, "I have discussed it with his mother, and we will find a day to celebrate with him later."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "I'm in China, so you don't have to accompany me all the time. You don't have to worry about me. You can take a day or two off occasionally and coordinate with me."
Zou Dong nodded but didn't respond.
In this regard, he has always had high demands on his professional ethics.
Even if Lu Yanhe said so, he would not ask for leave unless it was really necessary.
Especially when Lu Yanhe has a job.
On this point, if Wang Biao loves this job very much and enjoys it very much, Zou Dong has dogmatic professional requirements for himself. They have different paths but the same goal, so that Lu Yanhe never has to think about how to "control his subordinates" when facing the two of them.
On the contrary, it was precisely because they always stayed in their positions, fulfilled their duties, and never overstepped the boundaries that Lu Yanhe hoped they could go one step further, like promoting Wang Biao from assistant to executive agent.
-
Huang Fenglian was able to successfully get Huang Feng to study in China, which made her feel more grateful to Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan said that Huang Fenglian is different from many Chinese immigrants who have been here for a long time. Perhaps because she lived in China when she was a child, she has always wanted to return to her country.
However, due to family, marriage, children, work and other reasons, this idea could never be realized.
After having a child, the child became her biggest bond in the local area.
If you have children and want to move from one country to another, there are more problems to face and deal with.
Especially a single mom.
Although Lu Yanhe had only dealt with Huang Fenglian briefly, and had only been with her and Huang Feng for less than two weeks. But Lu Yanhe still admired Huang Fenglian. She might not be as capable as Chen Ziyan and Xin Zixing, she was just an ordinary woman, but when faced with the fact that her son could become a movie star and could directly earn a high signing fee, she simply seized this opportunity and put forward a request that, in her eyes, would be more beneficial to her son in the long run. The kind of person that Lu Yanhe particularly admired was definitely not someone who was particularly good in a certain aspect, of course, he also admired this kind of person. But being able to be described as special was beyond ordinary judgment and evaluation——
The kind of person who can, at critical moments, within the scope of his own cognition, act decisively without flinching or hesitation, but without asking for too much.
This is someone Lu Yanhe particularly admires.
He also hopes that he can become such a person.
Everyone has a different starting point, different life experiences, and different stages.
Huang Fenglian gained Lu Yanhe's respect through her choice for her son.
"You will officially start school in September this year, right?"
After taking a seat, Lu Yanhe asked.
Huang Fenglian smiled and nodded.
Lu Yanhe looked at Huang Feng: "I'm going to change schools soon. Are you nervous?"
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Huang Feng looked at Lu Yanhe calmly and even with a little contempt, and asked, "Why should I be nervous?"
Lu Yanhe: "..."
"Okay, then you are very courageous. I admire you." Lu Yanhe gave Huang Feng a thumbs up.
Huang Feng's eyes always reveal a sense of cleverness and are full of spirit.
He asked, "Should I call you boss from now on?"
"Call me uncle." Lu Yanhe corrected.
Huang Feng: "Are you married?"
"No, what?"
"Mom said that those who are not married should call me brother," Huang Feng emphasized.
"Then why did you never call me brother when you were filming on the set?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Huang Feng: "I shouted many times."
"That was only when we were acting. When we were not acting, you always spoke to me directly and never called me brother," said Lu Yanhe.
Huang Fenglian looked at Huang Feng in surprise when she heard this.
"Xiao Feng, why are you so rude?!" She seemed not to have noticed this before.
But that's normal. When Huang Fenglian was in the crew, she wasn't always with Huang Feng.
In fact, when Huang Feng was on the set, Huang Fenglian was not there. She was in charge of the financial affairs of the crew and had too many things to deal with every day. Basically, when Huang Feng arrived on the set, it became the responsibility of all the adults in the crew to help keep an eye on him.
Huang Feng's mouth drooped, "You actually tell tales at this time!"
Lu Yanhe: "I didn't tell tales. I pointed out your impoliteness in front of you."
Huang Feng: “…”
There was something like "rolling the eyes" in his eyes.
Lu Yanhe was overjoyed.
Chen Ziyan and Lu Qingzhen watched from the side, with smiles on their lips.
Lu Yanhe said: "But I brought you here. If anyone bullies you, you can tell me and I will protect you."
Huang Feng nodded and said, "Okay, then when you are old, I will protect you."
People are as big as little devils.
The smile in Lu Qingzhen's eyes could not be concealed no matter how hard she tried.
She finally understood why Lu Yanhe went to such great lengths to sign Huang Feng to Shihuo.
There are so many child stars in China, and Lu Qingzhen has seen quite a few of them, but he is the first one who is as cute and likable as Huang Feng.
Huang Fenglian called Lu Yanhe "Mr. Lu".
She asked, "Do you have any plans for Xiaofeng's future filming?"
"I will definitely focus on reading. If there are suitable roles during the weekdays, I can coordinate to perform them on the weekends. I can help him take one or two. I mainly have an idea for a movie, and he can play the leading role."
After Lu Yanhe said this, everyone at the table looked at him with a little surprise.
Lu Yanhe actually has another idea?
Of course, Huang Fenglian was surprised.
"The leading actor?"
Movies like "Tropical Rainforest", in which a child like Huang Feng plays the leading role, are rare to come by.
There are certainly talented actors who can display amazing acting talent at a young age.
For example, Yuya Yagira in "Nobody Knows", Quvenzhané in "Beasts of the Southern Wild", and Abigail in "Little Miss Sunshine".
But even if they won the Best Actor or Best Actress awards and attracted much attention, the film industry did not have enough projects and scripts for them to continue their careers as child stars. The only child star who was so popular that the industry wrote scripts for her was Shirley Temple.
Yuya Yagira was silent for many years, and only slowly with the help of several Japanese dramas did his career pick up again and return to the public eye.
Even though Quvenzane later starred in another movie which did well at the box office, "Annie: A Romance in New York," she still slowly disappeared from the scene.
Now Lu Yanhe actually said that he had a movie idea and wanted Huang Feng to star in it?
Even though Huang Fenglian is Malaysian, she knows how popular the movies written by Lu Yanhe are.
"Has the script been written?" Chen Ziyan asked in surprise.
Lu Yanhe shook his head. "Not yet, but I have thought of a complete story. If the movie performs well, I think it will be very good. I hope to develop it into a series of movies."
"Can you tell us the theme of this movie now?" Lu Qingzhen asked, "I'm so curious now, is this closer to the style of art films, or?"
"It's a comedy, commercial, but a very cute commercial comedy." Lu Yanhe looked at Huang Feng, smiled, and said, "It's a story about a child who outwits two stupid thieves to protect his home."
“It’s not a road comedy?” Lu Qingzhen said, “I thought if you were to make another comedy movie, you would continue to make something in the style of Lost on Journey.”
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "It's a completely different style. This movie is actually more suitable for watching on holidays and for the whole family."
Huang Fenglian was a little surprised and excited.
"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect that you actually... actually have made plans for Xiaofeng." Huang Fenglian really didn't expect that if Lu Yanhe told her when he signed the contract with her that he had a movie series that he wanted Huang Feng to star in, Huang Fenglian would not have hesitated for so long.
It was because she followed Huang Tianlin that she knew that in the entertainment industry, many people were left alone and paid little attention to by the company after signing contracts. Therefore, she was not so eager to agree to Lu Yanhe's request driven by her "dream of becoming a star". Instead, she proposed that Huang Feng return to China to study.
If Huang Feng could really star in the movie written by Lu Yanhe, Huang Fenglian would not be bothered by these things.
She was not stupid and knew how big the gap was between the movie written by Lu Yanhe and "Tropical Rainforest" directed by her brother.
The latter may just give Huang Feng an acting experience, but the former can truly help Huang Feng embark on the path of an actor and be noticed by the film industry.
Lu Yanhe smiled and waved his hand, looking at Huang Feng.
"But, if you want to star in my movie, I have some requirements for you," said Lu Yanhe.
Huang Feng frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Compared to how excited his mother was, he wasn't that excited at all.
He knows a little about being a celebrity, although he doesn't understand it. But if he does, he only knows a little and has no real concept of it.
Lu Yanhe said: "I hope that no matter how famous you become in the future, you will not break the law, drop out of school, or decide to be an actor or a star so early and then think that just fooling around with the college entrance exam and attending an art school is enough."
He added: "I know you don't understand now, but I hope you will commit to it."
Huang Feng asked: "You mean, I want to go to a good university in the future?"
Lu Yanhe: "I don't know whether it's a good university or not. Who knows if you can study? What if you can't get a good grade even if you work very hard? I've tried my best, but I hope you don't waste your studies and your life just because you want to become famous and rich early."
Huang Feng was furious: "Who are you looking down on? I will definitely be admitted to a good university."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
He turned and looked at Huang Fenglian.
"I hope you can sign Huang Feng's contract with Shihuo until he reaches adulthood." Lu Yanhe said bluntly, "At least before that, I will ask the company to keep an eye on the people and things around him to prevent him from being led astray or being tempted to study hard."
Huang Fenglian's eyes were slightly red at this moment.
She really didn't expect that Lu Yanhe would say these things and care about these things.
"Of course, of course, thank you." Huang Fenglian said, "Thank you very much."
"As long as you agree." Lu Yanhe smiled gently, "I hope you don't think I'm controlling too much. Maybe you don't understand, but I decided to bring him to China and let him be an actor at such a young age. In fact, I have led him away from his original life trajectory. I am very afraid that I will lead his life in a bad direction. I can't accept this."
Huang Fenglian nodded.
"Boss Lu, you told me all this, and I'm relieved. I've been hesitating and didn't agree to sign the contract because I was afraid he would meet a bad company, be forced to make money, work hard to make money at such a young age, or not be able to study well. What if he can't continue to be an actor and doesn't have the ability or skills to find a good job in the future?"
As Huang Fenglian spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
She sniffled and turned to wipe her eyes with the back of her hand.
Huang Feng looked at his mother with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand.
Chen Ziyan handed Huang Fenglian a tissue and patted her shoulder gently.
"Sister Lian, let's work together to teach Huang Feng well."
Huang Fenglian smiled excitedly and responded.
After dinner, Lu Qingzhen drove Huang Feng, Huang Fenglian and others.
Chen Ziyan got into Lu Yanhe's car.
She asked, "Yan He, what's the name of the movie you planned for Huang Feng?"
Lu Yanhe's eyes curved into a smile and he said, "Home Alone."
-
This movie should be a fond memory of many children's childhood.
Chen Ziyan asked: "Are you going to shoot it yourself? Will Linghe invest alone? Or do you need a bigger investment and want to cooperate with an outside company?"
"We can just invest on our own," Lu Yanhe said. "The production cost of this film can be very low."
A play that was basically all done in one house.
Huang Feng is the absolute protagonist, but his pay will not be high - it can increase for the sequel, but it certainly won't be as high as for the first film.
The two stupid thieves would be more effective if played by actors with special characteristics, so it is impossible to find well-known actors.
The only place where well-known actors are needed is for the parents in the movie - especially the mother role.
But that role doesn't have many scenes.
Especially for this movie, it was not difficult to direct, as he had a clear storyboard in his mind.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe felt that this movie would not require much production cost at all.
Perhaps the most expensive cost is his screenwriter's salary, followed by the design of the mechanisms and the production of the props.
Chen Ziyan nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, then I won't interfere." She said, "Are you the director yourself?"
"No, this movie is not difficult to make, and the artistic requirements for the director are not high." Lu Yanhe said, "It is just a relatively creative popcorn comedy movie from a child's perspective. I want to find a suitable director from outside."
"Okay." After Chen Ziyan nodded, she couldn't help but smiled and shook her head.
"You've suddenly come up with a new movie series, Yan He. Seriously, I'm starting to question whether my abilities can keep up with your talent." Chen Ziyan said, "Over the years, you're the only one who's made me think this way."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"I'll just take this as your affirmation of me, Sister Zi Yan." After Lu Yanhe finished speaking, the smile on his face faded again. "It's just, Sister Zi Yan, I'm really afraid that this will ruin Huang Feng's life."
The child actor in "Home Alone" later ruined his life because of his own actions, which made Lu Yanhe very afraid that the tragedy would happen again.
At such a young age, you have become a national celebrity and have gained all the fame and fortune. Can you bear it?
How to balance all this sudden happening?
Even an adult in his thirties or forties may not be able to cope with the inflated mentality that comes with becoming famous overnight, let alone a child and his ordinary parents.
Lu Yanhe said: "If this movie can achieve the desired effect in my mind, Huang Feng will become the most popular child star in the country, and all kinds of temptations will come one after another. Let alone Huang Feng, his child, even his mother, Sister Fenglian, is not a person who has experienced many things like you and has trained a strong heart. Can she face everything that may happen in the future?"
Chen Ziyan said, "Don't worry about the rain before you even leave the house. I know what you're worried about and what you care about. Don't worry, I will arrange a reliable agent to take care of him, and I will also let the company pay attention to it. As for his mother - I hope she can still have a job so that she can have a track to contact this society. As you said, she has seen the dangers and cruelty behind the fame and fortune in this industry, and she can be more vigilant when facing those things."
"Then what do you think she should do?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"She used to work in finance," Chen Ziyan said. "Her son is working at Shihuo, so she is not suitable to stay there. What do you think of her going to Linghe? Don't let her follow the production team. Just let her do relevant financial work at Linghe. Linghe is a film and television production company, and she is also working in this industry. She can gradually understand this industry more or less."
Lu Yanhe thought about it, nodded, and said, "I'll talk to Chen Yin."
"Well, but remember not to assign her a key position with heavy tasks." Chen Ziyan said, "First, we are not familiar with her yet. Don't let Chen Yin misunderstand that she was assigned to this position because of your relationship. Second, she must focus on taking care of Huang Feng. The work at the company can only be secondary."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "I understand."

An update of 10,000 words, exceeding the target of additional updates.
You can praise me now. I am very satisfied with today's chapter, but I don't know if you are satisfied.
I recommend the old book "I Became the Scandal Heroine Overnight".
(I recommended "The Demon-catching Sword" in the 15pm update event. This little book with only 15 words updated every day has gained collections. I am happy about the new collections because this book failed the first round of testing and the updates were too lame. I understand. It's just because I want to change my mind, write, and practice. I hope someone will read it and give me feedback.) (End of this chapter)
