Become famous another day.

On July 7, there was a special advance screening of "Can't Even Fake My Death", with Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang both in attendance.

In order to avoid overshadowing the show, Lu Yanhe waited until the screening began before quietly entering the theater in the dark.

The on-site viewing response was very good.

There was laughter in the middle.

Lu Yanhe had already watched it once, and when he watched it a second time, he discovered some details that he had not noticed before.

Liu Bige is still Liu Bige. He buried a lot of detailed Easter eggs in the film. After Longyan Pictures insisted on making this film into a commercial film, Liu Bige also made a lot of small designs in the film.

Including Lu Yanhe's watch this time, he found that the color of Li Zhibai and Ji Miao's clothes in each scene was actually very consistent with the tone of the scene, not to mention some of the props that appeared in the movie, which were full of various metaphors.

The last time Lu Yanhe looked at it, he didn’t even think about these aspects.

He suddenly felt that although this movie might not necessarily win an award, it might become a classic in the hearts of many movie fans.

There is a group of moviegoers who love to dig out details from movies and look for Easter eggs over and over again.

After the screening, there was thunderous applause.

At this time, the people sitting next to Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang realized that Lu Yanhe had come over without them noticing.

Liu Bige brought Li Zhibai, Ji Miao and several other actors onto the stage.

Mrs. Huang also came on stage.

She can be said to be the domestic film company boss who makes the most public appearances.

Of course, she is also very popular. As an actress, she is very good at interacting with everyone on stage.

Most of the people attending the screening today were invited by Long Yan or the main creative staff.

In this kind of occasion, unlike a media screening where the situation is unpredictable, the reaction will basically be enthusiasm and support.

A movie with a score of 60 can get 80 points of applause, and a movie with a score of 80 can give people the illusion that it is a classic in film history.

However, whether everyone really likes this movie and thinks it is good, we can still get a glimpse of the truth.

At least Lu Yanhe felt that when he watched the movie for the second time, he did not lose interest because he already knew how the plot would develop.

The content of the movie is rich and detailed enough, and it is worth watching.

However, there was nothing interesting in everyone's speeches, which were basically just some praise and flattery.

Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang were also called to stand up and talk about their viewing experience.

The real highlight is the cocktail party after the screening.

Only in this place can you hear some real feedback.

Lu Yanhe heard two people standing together and talking, and one of them said: "If this movie was not directed by Liu Bige, it might have a good reputation."

"Yes, in fact, we can see from Late Spring that Liu Bige is a master storyteller, but the stylized elements in Late Spring are too obvious, overshadowing the fact that his story itself is interesting. This time in Faking Death, he did not play with that kind of stylized elements. It is still interesting, but it is more or less disappointing. We did not see what we wanted to see."

This feeling is probably like when you go to a concert of a singer whom you have liked since childhood and you know many of his or her hit songs. But when you get to the concert, you are surprised to find that the singer has been singing songs you are not familiar with all night long. Although he or she still sings well, you always feel like something is missing.

As a director or a creator, you only have the power to be imaginative when you meet everyone for the first time, because from the second time on, you have to face a cruel fact - everyone will look at you through tinted glasses, and you are the one who put the tinted glasses on them.

Lu Yanhe felt that what they said was quite pertinent.

At this time, Chen Miao, the chief writer of "Dream Back", came to Lu Yanhe's side.

She is a media person who has been following Lu Yanhe since he started acting and has made several statements in support of his works.

Because of "Jump Up", Chen Miao later accepted several invitations to write commentary articles on the ownership of some influential awards.

Lu Yanhe is relatively familiar with her.

"Yan He, do you think this movie is more popular in Jose or in China?" Chen Miao asked.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Will my answer be adopted in your article?"

Chen Miao smiled and said, "If it is adopted, I will ask for your consent in advance. I just want to hear more opinions from everyone. I feel a little conflicted and haven't figured out how to write my article yet."

"To be honest, I think it will be more popular in China," Lu Yanhe said. "Some people who expect Director Liu to make a second film like Late Spring may be disappointed, but for the audience, this film is undoubtedly good-looking and interesting."

Chen Miao nodded and asked, "What about you? What do you think of this movie?"

"To be honest, I like it very much," Lu Yanhe said, "but it is true that I have emotional factors in it, and I can't judge objectively. I know too well why every shot was shot and acted that way. In this movie, I can't distinguish between my rationality and emotion."

Chen Miao: "Well, indeed, I shouldn't ask you this question. My dilemma is that I'm worried that if I give this movie a positive feedback, or if the film finally receives positive feedback from critics, Longyan Pictures will regard Liu Bige as a commercial film director and will no longer support him in making films like Late Spring."

Hearing this, Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Miao in surprise.

Chen Miao said: "The internal conflict between him and Long Yan has actually been known to many people for a long time. It's not a secret."

After confirming that Chen Miao was not trying to trick him, Lu Yanhe nodded without commenting, "Are you planning to write a long article?"

Chen Miao: "It's pointless to write a low-level article. Longyan has always had good media relations. There will probably be a lot of people praising Liu Bige's success in this film and saying nonsense like that. I don't want to follow suit. In particular, I still hope that Liu Bige can make more films like "Late Spring". There is no shortage of films like "Fake Death" in China, but there is a severe shortage of films like "Late Spring". If Director Liu himself wants to make such a work, then forget it, but that's not the case."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

He certainly hadn't expected that some media people would consider these issues and write their own commentary articles.

However, the reason why commentators such as Chen Miao and Guan Suchen have been able to write for such a long time and maintain such influence is indeed because they are different from other media people and always think about problems and publish articles with a purpose.

Businesses are always looking for ways to make money, trying to come up with a replicable formula.

However, if content creators want to stand out, they must go against the rules and have their own uniqueness.

Chen Miao smiled and asked again: "The following question is what I want to quote in my article."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"You ask."

"What is the real reason why you decided to star in "Hurricane 2"? I know you can't tell me the details, but I want to know from which dimensions you made your considerations." Chen Miao said, "Your choice has guiding significance for the entire industry, especially for actors."

Lu Yanhe waved his hand and said, "Don't flatter me. I'm most afraid of flattery now."

Chen Miao smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay."

"Besides, it's not convenient for me to answer this question. What I told you is definitely what I can say." Lu Yanhe smiled, "You know very well that as actors, when we choose a play, sometimes it's just a thought, and sometimes it's a combination of many factors. Everything depends on the right time, place and people."

Chen Miao: "That's enough. Your attitude itself is a kind of guidance."

"what?"

"You never shy away from your utilitarianism." Chen Miao sighed, "You know what? Sometimes, when I see many actors making choices, they are too short-sighted and stupid. They only focus on the small piece of land in front of them. I feel it's a pity. Moreover, as a fan of Chen Bige, I have to thank you."

"Thank me?"

"Thank you for making her productive again." Chen Miao said, "She has worked with you in all of her recent films. When she took on the role in The Seventeenth Floor, I really thought she would never get a suitable project in the film industry. You know, top actresses like her usually don't play supporting roles in films starring male protagonists. However, there aren't many film projects starring female protagonists, and even fewer good scripts, which are basically aimed at people in their twenties to thirties. Fortunately, you revived her film career with Rouge, and later Love Letter and Raise the Red Lantern were all scripts you gave her."

Lu Yanhe didn't react until Chen Miao said this. It's true!

Chen Bige has acted in so many of his scripts!

There is even a "Dragon Inn" that has not been officially announced!

Lu Yanhe: "Who wouldn't want to work with an actress like Sister Bi Ge? It's just that there aren't good roles. Coincidentally, I can write good roles and good scripts, but if she hadn't played the role, my scripts might not have been recognized by others so quickly."

Chen Miao: "Let's achieve mutual success. The film industry has always been an industry where people achieve mutual success."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Miao suddenly said, "But Li Zhibai's performance in "Can't Fake Death" is so refreshing. When I watched his dramas before, I felt that he could act. He didn't act in a routine way, and he didn't just move himself. But those dramas didn't give me a strong feeling like he did in this movie. If someone else played the role, it would be easy to exaggerate his relaxed feeling. He really has a natural ability to make exaggeration in him just right, giving people an artistic expression without feeling greasy."

"Li Zhibai will be very happy if he hears your praise for him." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

"In this regard, I feel that he is now invincible. Domestic male actors, especially young male actors, including you, I'll be honest, you have played those complicated, crazy, and difficult roles, and you are the epitome of them. The more difficult and complex the role is, the better you perform it. However, there is almost no other simple, relaxed, comedic, and even a little comic-like and exaggerated role like the one in "Fake Death". You have never played it before."

Lu Yanhe gave her a thumbs up.

"You are indeed professional. Great minds think alike." Lu Yanhe said, "I have the same opinion as you. Complexity is easy to act, but simplicity is difficult. Li Zhibai is the best in this field. No one can compare to his sense of relaxation." Chen Miao shook her head: "It's not just a matter of relaxation. I don't know if his way of dealing with it is a talent or something else. I need to study it carefully."

"So do you think he has a chance of winning the award?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Chen Miao shook her head.

"This type of role is not favored by awards, unless the drama "Fake Death" is so good that it guarantees the actor. Otherwise, he will be highly recognized in the industry but will not win an award." Chen Miao said, "Award judges still look for complex roles with great performance space, like "Road to Glory", which is a typical theme favored by mainstream awards."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"I heard that Friends has a chance to win the three major awards this year?" Chen Miao asked. "We heard rumors that they want to encourage excellent sitcoms to enter the mainstream award categories."

Lu Yanhe: "I don't know about that. I hope so. But I also know that it's not easy to change some stubborn prejudices. It's hard to change them overnight."

Chen Miao: "The Golden Tripod Awards will announce the nomination list in about two or three weeks. Several of our friends in the media have discussed this issue before. In the next few days, we will speak out through our channels and call for this matter."

"Thank you."

"Although we are only in the media industry, we all hope that the entertainment industry will get better and better." Chen Miao said, "Only when we really go international can we know how weak our Chinese entertainment industry is. Although I am a media person, others don't care what articles you have written or how many achievements you have made. When others hear that you are from China, their reaction is that they don't think highly of you. It has only been a little better in recent years, because some of our Chinese film and television dramas have emerged and they have been noticed. You know, as a Chinese media person, when I interview foreign directors and actors, I often ask a question, asking them if they have any favorite Chinese film and television works. Often, the questions are about works from more than ten or twenty years ago, and almost never about works from the last ten years. It was not until recent years that the situation changed."

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

Lu Yanhe said: "However, there are still too few Chinese-language films in the international arena. If there are any, they are only one or two. In fact, there are so many Chinese people. If only a few of them are active in the international arena, they will only be a decoration of world cinema. I hope it can be better and have more important weight."

Chen Miao nodded, "Let's work hard together. Although my strength is very limited, I will do my best."

"Your power is always weak." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "My agent often said that at least half of my achievements today are due to the support of you media and film critics. Otherwise, how could a newcomer, a young man, surpass those successful big names and be pushed to the current position so quickly? Thank you."

Chen Miao: “Come on.”

According to the agreement signed between Chen Miao and Longyan Film, Chen Miao's article cannot be published publicly before the official release.

The agreement between Long Yan and her was not a standard agreement with the media, but a separate agreement signed because Chen Miao did not agree to give "100% positive reviews".

But this is also a good thing. For Chen Miao, she has plenty of time to write this article.

Before that, as Chen Miao had told Lu Yanhe before, she and several media friends, including Guan Suchen and Sanyang, had agreed to speak out together and call for "Friends" to enter the mainstream awards field of vision and not be ignored anymore.

They don’t actually have that many fans on social media. The one with the most, Guan Suchen, only has seven digits. On the Chinese Internet, he is just a big V, not the kind of opinion leader who can spark huge discussion and attention with just a few words.

However, several of them posted articles one after another, talking about the significance of "Friends" to Chinese-language TV dramas and the achievements it has made, pointing out that the three major domestic TV drama awards have ignored the "Friends" series in the past.

After several seasons of accumulation, especially the resurgence of the reputation of "Friends", it can be said that it is one of the most popular TV series in the past decade. This "one" is the top one of the pyramid.

Therefore, as soon as these articles were published, they immediately attracted great attention.

Chen Miaoshi wrote directly in her article: The Golden Tripod Award nomination list will be announced soon. I hope that this year's preliminary judges can seriously consider what kind of TV series should truly be commended.

Huang Lian was almost fainted from anger.

He didn't think that Chen Miao and the others suddenly published such an article at this time on their own initiative.

There must be someone behind this.

"Look, if it wasn't Lu Yanhe who was behind this and encouraged these people to charge into battle for him, would anyone believe it?"

At the meeting of the Golden Tripod Awards Executive Committee, Huang Lian was very angry and had an expression that said, "For things like this, don't you guys share my hatred for the enemy?"

At the executive committee meeting, Huang Lian's people immediately followed suit and echoed: "This behavior is too much, there is simply no bottom line. This is using public opinion to coerce us. We must let "Friends" win the award. How can this be done!"

Huang Lian said: "This kind of people are simply ignoring the rules. We must resolutely oppose this kind of behavior!"

"That's right!"

"Chairman Huang, you said that these articles were written by Lu Yanhe behind the scenes. Does anyone have any evidence?" A voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked over in surprise.

The person who spoke was Gu Mo, who had just joined the Executive Committee two days ago.

Huang Lian looked over with unfriendly eyes.

"This is clearly a done deal. Do you think there are other possibilities?"

"Is it possible that these people really think that we shouldn't ignore "Friends"? " Gu Mo asked back.

For a moment, the conference room was so quiet that one could almost hear the breathing of people around.

Huang Lian: "Gu Mo, you used to be Director Luo's student. I understand that you are speaking for Lu Yanhe, but at this time, shouldn't you avoid suspicion?"

Gu Mo: "Chairman Huang, this has nothing to do with whether I am Director Luo's student, right? We are just discussing the facts. If there is no evidence, but we want to make a final conclusion, wouldn't it be a scandal if this matter gets out?"

"Could it be possible that someone has spread what was said in this room?" Huang Lian asked.

"It's not like this hasn't happened before. It seemed to have happened before I came here, right?" Gu Mo said with a look of sudden enlightenment. "Oh, now I remember. Wasn't it because the last chairwoman, Ms. Liu Yun, said a few incorrect things at the meeting that were spread online and caused a lot of public opinion that she was asked to step down?"

Everyone around held their breath, pretending to be dead, and said nothing.

The anger in Huang Lian's eyes seemed to solidify and burst out.

Gu Mo continued, "Whether the drama "Friends" should be nominated for the Golden Tripod Awards is a comprehensive issue. Whether it is nominated or not, it will attract a lot of attention. At least we should have a clear conscience internally. If we all conclude that Lu Yanhe is manipulating public opinion and trying to influence the selection just because of a few articles, who would think that this is right and objective?"

No one speaks.

Huang Lian: "So according to you, we should just ignore these articles?"

"Of course, if we all think that these articles interfere with the normal selection, then we should condemn such behavior in the name of the official." Gu Mo said, "And the key to this matter is, will such behavior really interfere with the selection of the award? These articles have indeed stirred up a lot of public opinion, and have also made many people discuss what kind of selection direction our Golden Tripod Award should have, but whether it has really affected the choices of the preliminary judges in an improper way, this should be proved, right?"

Huang Lian sneered.

But, he just sneered.

Gu Mo's mouth was like a machine gun, turning this unreasonable statement into a sieve.

In the end, no one said what action would be taken because of this incident.

After the meeting, Huang Lian got angry and lost his temper in his office.

"Who the hell is he? How dare he say that to me at the meeting?" Huang Lian shouted at several committee members on his side, "I don't want him to appear among us again during the next term change!"

"He is alone here with no relatives or friends, and he dares to say anything. But he alone cannot affect the overall situation. The list of judges for the preliminary selection is determined by us, so don't worry." Another person said to Huang Lian, "They will definitely choose a list that satisfies us."

Huang Lian immediately questioned: "Since he alone can't influence the overall situation, why didn't any of you speak up when he was speaking at the meeting just now?"

The others were silent.

Huang Lian also knew what they were thinking.

Behind Gu Mo is Luo Yuzhong. Gu Mo is of course nothing, but who would be the first to offend Luo Yuzhong?

Although Luo Yuzhong has not been awarded any award or association, he is one of the top TV directors in the circle, with connections, relationships, resources, and background.

Huang Lian doesn't have to worry about Luo Yuzhong, but they can't.

Gu Mo dared to fire so fiercely, there must be Luo Yuzhong's instructions behind it.
-
"This old man Huang Lian has lost all his dignity!"

Gu Mo was stunned and his heart sank.

He rarely saw his teacher so angry.

As a big shot in the industry, Luo Yuzhong rarely gets so angry, except on the set because of some problems encountered during filming.

After all, most of the time, given his status in the industry, people around him respect him very much.

Gu Mo said: "Teacher, although I stopped him this time, the preliminary judges are basically all selected by them. I am worried that this matter will still..."

"If that's the case, there's nothing we can do. We can't interfere with the judges," Luo Yuzhong said. "But if they really dare to turn a blind eye to Friends and continue to exclude it from the nomination list, it's not just public opinion pressure. We'll have to wait and see how the General Administration responds."

Gu Mo said: "Huang Lian doesn't look like he's worried about getting in trouble with the General Administration."

"He thinks he has someone who can support and protect him." Luo Yuzhong sneered.

Gu Mo was a little surprised when he heard this, "Teacher, what you mean is..."

"Don't interfere in the judges' affairs and don't take any action." Luo Yuzhong warned.

I recommend an old book on the same entertainment theme, "I Became the Scandal Heroine Overnight".

There will be a second update in the evening, please vote for it! (End of this chapter)
