Become famous another day.

Chapter 629: Big Explosion, Global Run!

Originally, without Lu Yanhe's Weibo post, the "rumors" arranged by Chen Ziyan before had no supporting evidence and were hard to believe. However, once Lu Yanhe posted this Weibo, the nature of the matter seemed to have really changed.

Lu Yanhe's Weibo post clearly shows his dissatisfaction with the Golden Tripod Awards.

Everyone is saying that he used public opinion to force the Golden Tripod Awards to set a precedent for himself and created a separate sitcom award.

He directly stated that this had nothing to do with him and that he did not apply for these awards.

For a time, there was an uproar.

When the Golden Tripod Awards and Huang Lian had not responded yet, someone asked in Lu Yanhe’s comment section: Will you attend this year’s Golden Tripod Awards ceremony?

Lu Yanhe: I didn’t get nominated for the award I applied for, so what should I do? Be a mascot?
This response is even more ironic.

Did Lu Yanhe use public opinion to force the Golden Tripod Awards to give the award, or did the Golden Tripod Awards fail to withstand the pressure of public opinion, so they created such an award and pushed Lu Yanhe to the front as a mascot?
Lu Yanhe was very angry and went on a rant on Weibo, which suddenly reminded many people of the past.

Lu Yanhe is not a person who will just accept anything. He may be a nice person, and if you scold him in front of him, he will just smile and say it doesn't matter. But if you really cross his bottom line, it will be useless for you to beg for mercy.

It was obvious from the look on his face that he was being tricked.
-
Neither Yuehutai nor other nominees have responded yet.

They neither responded publicly like Lu Yanhe did as to whether they would accept the award, nor did they contact Lu Yanhe privately to communicate with him.

Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun responded to his decision in the group with several hug and thumbs-up emojis.

Other than that, nothing was said.

Lu Yanhe didn't want to talk about this with them either.

This matter is not decided by them. Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun have agents and teams behind them.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe had been picked up and was ready to continue his roadshow for "Love Letter".

Lu Yanhe arrived at the cinema and met up with Chen Bige, Zhang Ruozhi and others.

Chen Bige hugged Lu Yanhe and patted his shoulder.

"Are you ok?"

"Fortunately, I feel much better after letting off some steam." Lu Yanhe smiled, "Don't worry, I won't let myself get upset."

Chen Bige smiled.

She nodded. "That's good. When I first saw this result, I thought the Golden Tripod Awards had discussed it with you in advance. I was wondering why Sister Zi Yan would agree to such a bad practice. I didn't expect that they made the change without authorization. Huang Lian is deliberately disgusting you."

Lu Yanhe nodded: "Yes, he must be deliberately disgusting me. He has no choice but to nominate me, but he doesn't want to nominate me, so he came up with this operation."

Chen Bige: "How shameless, this kind of person is."

The two talked for a while.

Zhang Ruozhi stood nearby and listened.

She seemed to want to say something, but said nothing.

She is a very smart girl, and because of this, she won't speak rashly and say meaningless nonsense before figuring out the situation.

Instead, Lu Yanhe noticed Zhang Ruozhi's helplessness and nervousness.

"It's okay. This has nothing to do with you." Lu Yanhe said to Zhang Ruozhi with a smile, "Love Letter is doing very well now, and you have become famous overnight. If you have any problems, feel free to tell your agent or me. If you feel uncomfortable, the sisters you know are all very good people, and they will be happy to talk to you."

Zhang Ruozhi hummed softly.
-
At the roadshow, everyone was still very enthusiastic about their appearance and were not affected by Lu Yanhe's incident.

As Lu Yanhe said before, the audience's feedback on the movie "Love Letter" is very good. This is a good movie that is "higher than popcorn movies" in the eyes of the audience, but it is not so artistic that the audience feels that it is highbrow and incomprehensible.

There were many young boys and girls at the scene, all with red eyes.

There was even a girl who confessed her love to the boy next to her in public.

Lu Yanhe was a little nervous at that moment, afraid that the boy might not actually like the girl and would reject her.

Fortunately, the two of them were able to watch this movie together, and there was a high probability that they were attracted to each other, so the boy hugged the girl.

Chen Bige cheered excitedly.

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"You're more excited than they are."

Chen Bige: "I just like watching this kind of scene."

"Are you looking forward to this kind of scene yourself?"

"You said you expect someone to confess to me in public?" Chen Bige asked.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"If I don't like that person, I will politely reject him. If I like that person, I will beat his head off." Chen Bige said without hesitation, "He doesn't even know what kind of environment I like."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Lu Yanhe asked: "So do you have a partner now, or?"

Chen Bige: "How could I not have a partner? It's just that I haven't settled down yet, so I won't introduce him to you guys yet."

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded.

The host on the side heard the two people's secret conversation in private, his eyes widened, but he had to pretend that he heard nothing.

Afraid of being exposed.

Can you two pay attention?
This is in public, this is on stage!
There are so many microphones around! -
After the afternoon roadshow ended, they had dinner with the bank’s roadshow liaison team.

Lu Yanhe organized it and also expressed his gratitude to the roadshow team.

It has been a long journey, and it has been hard for the main creative staff and the accompanying partners.

"Yu Ming's road show ends here. We will catch the high-speed train at 8:30 pm and arrive in Jinkou at 9:30 pm. We will go to Jinkou tomorrow. There are four stops. After finishing work today, Teacher Wan Xin will also rush to Jinkou and meet up with us tomorrow. Teacher Li Songfan is still in the group and cannot come out. Maowei has arranged a connection."

Wang Biao told Lu Yanhe about tomorrow's arrangements.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

This movie means a lot to him, and he ran the whole way without saying anything. However, Chen Bige was actually willing to accompany him on the roadshow, which touched Lu Yanhe a lot.

The agreement that Chen Bige signed with them only required them to cooperate with two promotional events.

Of course, Chen Bige received box office dividends from the movie "Love Letter". The better the performance, the more dividends she received. But this is definitely not the reason why an actress of her level is willing to run the roadshow all the way. It can only be said that Chen Bige also hopes to make the movie as good as possible for various reasons, and she also loves this movie.

On the high-speed train to Jinkou, Wang Biao was scrolling through his phone when he suddenly exclaimed.

Lu Yanhe asked: "What's wrong?"

Wang Biao said: "The Blue Ribbon Awards issued an announcement saying that starting from the year after next, the three awards for Best TV Series, Best Screenwriter, and Best Director will be divided into two categories: drama and comedy."

"what?"

"That is to say, Friends is still competing for the same award with everyone else this year, but starting from the next year, Friends can apply for the comedy category?" Wang Biao was a little shocked. "Oh my god, with this Blue Ribbon, is it directly supporting you, Brother Lu?"

"If a normal award is going to be changed, an announcement should be made in advance so that everyone can distinguish from the beginning of the registration." Lu Yanhe said, "I don't know whether he is helping me, but after Wen Yang took office as the director of Blue Ribbon, he was attacked from all sides because of the replacement of judges and the reform of the award mechanism. Now it seems that Huang Lian must have contributed behind the scenes. If Wen Yang doesn't fight back at this time, he will not be able to keep this position."

The Blue Ribbon announcement put the Golden Tripod Award and Huang Lian directly at the center of public opinion.

The doubts about them became louder.

Lu Yanhe didn't care about Huang Lian and the others' reactions.

His mind was now entirely on The Love Letter.

On Saturday, the second day of the release of "Love Letter", the box office of "Love Letter" increased by 2.1 million compared to the first day, reaching 4 million, and the total box office has exceeded million.

In just two days, the box office exceeded everyone's initial expectations for "Love Letter".

It can be said that with the early publicity and marketing, "Love Letter" successfully became popular through social topics and became the first choice for young people to watch movies.

Especially the first choice for couples.

A girl was interviewed outside the theater and said, "A friend of mine recommended this movie to me and asked me to bring my boyfriend to watch it. She said that we always quarreled with each other, and after watching this movie, we might cherish each other more."

The reporter asked: "Do you think your friend is right?"

The girl hugged her boyfriend's arm, smiled shyly, and nodded.

Day 3, Sunday.

"Friends" director Bai Jingnian took the five main actors, Wen Minglan, Yin Xincheng, Zhan Yun, Yan Liang, and Bai Jin, to watch "Love Letter" together. They took a group photo at the entrance of the cinema and checked in on their social media together.

Someone asked them whether they would go to receive the award, but they did not respond and just smiled and changed the subject.

"'Love Letter' is a very good movie. Don't miss it."

"'Love Letter' will be the movie that the people in 'Friends' will watch together." Yin Xincheng vowed, "It is not only the choice of couples, it is also the choice of good friends to watch a movie together."

Bai Jin said: "I hope Yan He can write a role for Zhang Ruozhi in the new season of "Friends" so that she can come to guest star in "Friends". She is so cute, I like her so much."

The topic is extremely popular.

The daily box office declined normally and earned 1.6 million.

On the fourth day, Monday, the working day arrived, the daily box office fell to only 7 million. However, the discussion about this movie on the Internet has formed a wave. All major film and television related self-media, without exception, are discussing this movie.

There were also some controversies on the Internet. For example, the film still had the same plot of two women fighting for one man - although such controversy was also criticized by many people.

On the fifth day, Tuesday, Maowei once again launched a double ticket discount service to stimulate people to buy tickets. The box office remained at 6.8 million, and the decline was almost negligible.

The Golden Tripod Awards seems to have decided to play dead and has never responded to the controversy on the Internet regarding the previous sitcom awards.

Xu Senjin, director of Yuehu TV, called Lu Yanhe to congratulate him on the box office success of Love Letter. He also asked him if he had decided not to attend the Golden Tripod Awards ceremony this year.

Lu Yanhe gave him a very affirmative answer.

Xu Senjin said: "We may not be able to send someone to accept the award on behalf of the crew. After all, both sides of us are under pressure from above."

"I understand, Master. It's okay. This is my own business."

Lu Yanhe knew that in the adult world, not everyone could be willful and loyal.

In the real world of martial arts, one has no control over what one does, so the protagonist of the novel has to take pleasure in revenge.

However, Xu Senjin also said: "However, Yan He, you did a very satisfying job in this matter. We will not let you be isolated and lose face."

Lu Yanhe didn't know how Xu Senjin planned to deal with this matter, but he felt that it was enough for Xu Senjin to give him this attitude under the circumstances.

Day 6, Wednesday.

Zhang Ruozhi appeared on the interview program "Zhixing" hosted by Peng Zhixing of Northern Lights Video. As a newcomer who became famous overnight, this was his first interview. The number of viewers of this program exceeded 1500 million, and it received three natural hot searches.

Zhang Ruozhi was really angry.

The daily box office continued its normal decline, with a total of 5.6 million collected on the day.

Day 7, Thursday.

Chen Bige appeared on Yuehu TV for a live interview and talked about her acting career.

Lu Yanhe and Li Songfan had an online conversation about "male actors and romantic movies", a topic that few people talk about.

The daily box office continued to decline normally, to 5.2 million, and the daily box office maintained the 5 million mark.

So far, after seven days of release, "Love Letter" has grossed over 8 million yuan, breaking the first-week box office record for domestic art films and romance-themed movies.

The total box office is expected to reach 1 billion.

"Generally speaking, movies with room for textual discussion often face the problem of not being well received by the lower-tier markets. This is something that all filmmakers know. So, sometimes, we tend to see some particularly straightforward emotional expressions in some movies. It's not that people don't know how to express themselves in a high-level way, but that they will give up on more high-level expressions for the sake of a larger market."

"The most popular line this summer is 'How are you? I'm fine'. Such a simple and straightforward line, in such a movie, has been appreciated by both the elite and the masses."

"I really like a comment from an audience member. He said that when he heard the heroine shouting this sentence over and over again, he didn't know why, but he was very moved."

"In our age, more and more analysis, dissection and interpretation appear in our lives. We seem to have forgotten that being moved is a natural expression. Good movies and good lines often make you feel good without knowing why. But you just feel good."

Lin Yu smiled slightly.

"I am very proud that my high school classmate Lu Yanhe made the movie Love Letter, which allowed me to openly say on this show, "Go watch it."

After recording the Yuehu TV program, Linyu thanked everyone in the production team, said a few words of thanks for their hard work, and left the studio.

Chen Qin was waiting for her in the car.

"You don't have any other work later, right?" Chen Qin asked.

Lin Yu shook her head.

"No more. Let's go."

Chen Qin nodded, and suddenly felt a little nervous at this moment.

Linyu figured it out.

She laughed: "It's okay, it's just a simple meal, why are you so serious?"

Chen Qin smiled helplessly.

"Every time I go to your house for dinner, I get nervous," he said. "Your dad always looks at me like a police officer looks at a criminal."

Lin Yu held Chen Qin's hand, "It's okay, he actually likes you very much."

"Is this true?" Chen Qin looked completely unconvinced. He had never felt that Lin Yu's father liked him at all before.

Lin Yu: "Really, he just didn't say it because he was afraid you would become proud. They used to worry that I would fall in love too early and affect my grades, but now they think it's a good thing that the person I like is my high school classmate."

"Why?" Chen Qin was puzzled.

"They always think that the entertainment industry is full of dangers and mixed with good and bad people. Although my job is in the magazine, I often deal with the entertainment industry, so you know." Lin Yu said helplessly, "They are also worried that I will be too busy with work and not get married."

Chen Qin laughed.

"I can rest assured that."

Lin Yu: "What are you doing in Linghe now?"

"I'm mainly working with Xu Tianming on copyright operations," Chen Qin said. "With the IPs in Yan He's hands, there are many businesses that can be done. For example, the box office of Love Letter was a big hit this time, and many places came to discuss licensing."

"Authorize what? Surrounding development?"

"That's all for the next step. Apart from the joint venture with Hans Coffee, we haven't done any other peripheral development cooperation for Love Letter. It's mainly some broadcast authorization. The domestic copyright environment is becoming more and more formal. If places want to broadcast Love Letter, as long as it involves commercial use, they have to get authorization from us. There is a Qianxingcheng mall, they are trying to get the mall broadcasting rights from us for one year. They want to play this movie on the big screen in the square outside the mall."

Lin Yu was a little confused: "Is there such a commercial authorization?"

"Well, there are many different kinds. Although none of them bring in huge amounts of income, perhaps only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan in small collaborations, they add up to a lot." Chen Qin said, "Now, in addition to movie theaters, many private movie theaters are also subject to the constraints of copyright law. They must obtain commercial authorization from us before they can make profits from it. Xu Tianming is working on some larger projects, and I am working on these small projects now."

"This must be very exhausting, right?" Lin Yu asked, "It sounds like you have to deal with a lot of places."

"Yes." Chen Qin nodded. "But I'm fine, because Linghe's IPs are all very popular dramas. In most cases, others come to us for cooperation, so I don't have to run business. Xu Tianming asked me to do it because I understand the law. There are no mature cooperation cases in the industry for these small and fragmented businesses. So, if I do it, I can also keep an eye on the terms of the cooperation agreement. If the company's current law firm handles these small cooperations, there will be no profit."

Lin Yu nodded.

"It sounds like you are opening up a new revenue chain for the film industry," Lin Yu said.

"In fact, it's not called pioneering. Many foreign film industries have already systematized and industrialized this set of things because they are very mature. However, the real commercial development of our domestic film industry has only been less than 30 years. Cinema chains and box office are the main body, and they are being built up madly, but other supporting industries are not so mature. They will always be developed in the future. It's just that we have many good IPs, so we can take the initiative and be the first to try it in China."

Chen Qin is now very satisfied with his work in Linghe.

It may also be because when he joined the company, there were very few people in the company, and he had to be on his own right from the start, leaving him no time to go through the various stages of a novice. He had to go through it even if he couldn't, and actual combat accelerated his growth process.

Chen Qin himself is a person with a relatively gentle and cheerful personality, and not very aggressive.

He's been like this since high school.

But it seems that it is precisely because of his personality that he is quite comfortable in this job that does not require him to actively run business. He is not the kind of person who looks down on others, so when dealing with various partners, he can make the other party feel very comfortable. He will not look down on others just because the other party may only have a small project of tens of thousands of yuan, nor will he ignore the other party just because it is a small company or a small platform.

Xu Tianming put him in this job because he was impressed by his character.
-
In the second week of its release, the screening schedule of "Love Letter" was cut in half due to the release of two blockbuster films.

Of course, even if the screening schedule is not cut in half, the number of viewers is bound to drop significantly.

Lu Yanhe, Chen Bige and others are still working diligently on roadshows across the country.

The first is to increase the screening schedule for the hospital, and the second is to continue to contribute new promotional materials to the publicity and marketing team to maintain the popularity of the film and prevent it from disappearing from everyone's sight so quickly.

Once no one discusses "Love Letter", there may be almost no audiences willing to go to the cinema to watch it.

Thanks to the efforts of all parties, the box office of "Love Letter" in its second week remained at 3.6 million yuan, and the total box office reached nearly 12 billion yuan.

However, after two weeks of release, the main box office potential of "Love Letter" has been almost exhausted. According to the data model's estimation, it can only get another 2 to 3 million yuan in box office revenue, and then the box office will come to an end.

It can be said that "Love Letter" is the Chinese-language film with the highest return rate in the past five years.

The production cost is more than 10 million yuan——

Although this number is very abnormal, Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige did not receive their pay according to the market price, they all received dividends. The majority of the more than 10 million was spent on production.

The publicity and marketing expenses are as high as 72 million.

Whether it is the program "How Are You? I'm Fine" and its subsequent promotion, or the short video platform investment and offline advertising, plus the advertising fees of major media, and the labor fees of the main creators and the expenses of the roadshow team after a roadshow, "Love Letter" performed a classic textbook performance of dynamic additional publicity expenses.

This total cost is less than 14 million yuan, plus the distribution fees, and in the end, it is possible to get a box office of 15- billion yuan, and this does not include other income such as video platforms and overseas copyright income.

In the words of a financial institution, "Love Letter" made a lot of money.

The production funds for this movie were basically saved up by Lu Yanhe himself and the people around him.

Everyone made a lot of money.

At this moment, Lu Yanhe began to doubt himself greatly.

Because he sincerely believed that the box office of this movie would be at most 300 million.

"..."

Movies are also a marketing discipline.

He deeply realized this from this case.

As long as the audience wants to watch your movie, they will still want to watch it no matter how small the budget is. If the audience does not want to watch your movie, even if you find the four kings to star in it and invest hundreds of millions, it will still not be well received.
-
But Lu Yanhe can't stop at this time.

Because "Love Letter" will be released overseas soon.

After Lu Yanhe, Chen Bige and others finished their domestic promotional tour, the entire crew, at the invitation of overseas distributors, started promotions in six countries: South Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, France, the United States and Australia.

Obviously, we found different distributors in different countries, but it seemed like they had discussed it and put the release times together.

After coordination, Lu Yanhe only went to these places.

At the end of August, the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" began.

Although he has few roles, he cannot join the crew too late.

After visiting these places, if "Love Letter" has other overseas promotional tours, Chen Bige will have to lead the team.

This is the first time that Lu Yanhe has participated in overseas publicity on such a large scale.

"The Mist" also counts, but at that time Lu Yanhe only ran to a few places, and not continuously. After all, before the movie was released, Lu Yanhe was not the protagonist of the movie. His worldwide popularity was opened after the movie was released.

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

Lu Yanhe is still looking forward to the overseas box office performance of "Love Letter". After all, it won an award at the Jose-La-Señora Film Festival, which makes it not an ordinary Chinese-language film. In addition, the protagonists of this film, Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige, can be said to be one of the strongest lineups in Chinese-language films.

On the day their entire crew arrived in South Korea, as soon as they got off the plane, the security team arranged by Darren Wilson directly connected with Lu Yanhe's team.

Lu Yanhe doesn't trust the docking service in South Korea.

This is the benefit of signing with an international brokerage company, all kinds of services are in place. Of course, this requires Lu Yanhe to sign a check to pay for it. In fact, for these services, Lu Yanhe is very willing to sign a check to pay for it. After all, it involves his own safety, and the key is to be reliable.

After Lu Yanhe arrived in Korea, many people wanted to come and greet him, from TVN executives to Zhong Benshuo's faction in Korea, not to mention the distributors in Korea itself.

Lu Yanhe refused all of them and only agreed to have a simple meal with the main creative staff of the crew and a Korean director whom he liked very much.

In fact, the promotion in South Korea was relatively smoothest.

When Lu Yanhe was in the UK, he was being interviewed by a TV station. The host was quite provocative and actually asked about the Golden Tripod Awards. He wanted Lu Yanhe to talk about his views on the current state of Chinese film and television awards during the live broadcast.

Lu Yanhe almost got angry.

I have never encountered such a situation before when I came to the UK.

Putting aside these minor incidents, the entire promotional tour went relatively smoothly.

When the films opened in overseas markets one after another and achieved good box office results, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

With awards from the Jose-La-Señora Film Festival and the presence of Lu Yanhe, a star actor who became famous worldwide in the first half of the year with "The Mist", the box office of "Love Letter" in the major markets where it has just been promoted has exceeded six figures in the first weekend, except for the United States where it has not yet been released, and the total box office is expected to exceed seven figures.

This is a very good result for a foreign language film like "Love Letter".

Especially in South Korea, the movie "Love Letter" has become a hot topic on their Internet. Many Korean stars have watched this movie and recommended it on social media.

Xu Tianming said that TVN wanted to buy the rights to adapt "Love Letter" into a Korean drama again.

Lu Yanhe said that they should first bring the adapted version of "Rouge" over to see how it was adapted.

If the adaptation is good, he will continue to authorize it. If the adaptation is not good, he doesn't want them to ruin the story of "Love Letter".

Lu Yanhe’s last stop for overseas promotion was the United States, and the premiere was still scheduled in Los Angeles.

Here, Midoriya gave a grand premiere to "Love Letter".

It was only when Lu Yanhe arrived that he found out that Lvgu had invited more than 2 media outlets, and also invited Arne Bogut and Lily Williams, who had worked with him on The Mist, to attend. Not only that, at the premiere, Drion Dylan, who had just filmed The Hurricane with Lu Yanhe, recorded a VCR for him.

Midoriya plans to release "Love Letter" in 800 theaters first. If the performance is good, the scope of theaters will be expanded. If the performance is average, it will not cause too much loss.

This is a very impressive number of cinemas.

Lu Yanhe felt the sincerity from Lu Gu.

He felt that it was probably because the previous film "Path of Glory" performed beyond their expectations during the North American awards season, which fed back into the box office, allowing the film, which was actually not that good in terms of the plot, to earn millions of dollars at the North American box office, which made them look forward to "Love Letter".

Although Midoriya's high hopes for "Love Letter" were still on the revenue from family entertainment.

When Lu Yanhe completed his publicity tour and returned to China, it was already dark in Yuming when he landed.

He received news from Midoriya that on the first day of its release, "Love Letter" grossed $76.4 in theaters, an average of about $ per theater, which was not a very good result but not a bad one either.

Especially for Midoriya, the cost for them to obtain the North American distribution rights of "Love Letter" was 600 million US dollars.

With this opening result, "Love Letter" has the hope of achieving a box office of more than 500 million in North America, which is a pleasant surprise.

But as Lu Yanhe said, "Love Letter" does not have a very good reputation among North American media and film critics.

The most unexpected criticism for Lu Yanhe was that they felt that it was disappointing that Lu Yanhe only played such a simple role in the work he wrote, directed and starred in.

Schmidt Lawley of Green Valley said, "The media and critics here in North America have high expectations of you, so they are not satisfied."

Lu Yanhe was not surprised.

The contents of "Love Letter" involving life and death, philosophy and oriental cultural background are probably difficult for people in Europe and America to truly appreciate the emotions contained therein.

But no matter what, the release of "Love Letter" can be described as a "huge success".

In Hollywood, although the box office of "Love Letter" in North America was mediocre, for people in Hollywood, the box office of these foreign language films is generally not measured by their own set of calculation rules.

Variety magazine bluntly stated that Love Letter, Lu Yanhe's first self-written and directed film, has been a huge success worldwide. The movie, which cost only a few million dollars to shoot, has already exceeded $2 million at the global box office and is very likely to exceed $3 million, etc.

This magazine's preference for Lu Yanhe is obvious enough.

In Hollywood, box office success always reigns supreme.

You can see a lot of people criticizing a big production that fails at the box office, but you rarely see large-scale criticism of a box office success.

Even the Oscars.

This is different from China, where people tend to look down on others for money, thinking that the higher the box office, the lower the artistic quality.

According to the report of "Variety", Lu Yanhe did not suffer a "box office failure" at all. On the contrary, he was once again a huge success.
-
"Now several domestic film and television companies are asking us if we have any plans to produce a TV series ourselves. If not, they want to buy the TV series production rights of Love Letter and develop a TV series."

Xu Tianming said to Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe: "The movie has just come out, isn't it too soon to talk about making a TV series now?"

Xu Tianming: "They are not going to start production right away, they just want to grab the production rights as soon as possible. From writing the script to casting, to filming and post-production, it will take at least one or two years to come out."

"Have both the Northern Lights and the ice field come to talk?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Xu Tianming nodded and said, "They are the two most active companies. Yuehutai has also come to negotiate. However, Yuehutai's offer is not on the same level as Aurora Borealis and Icefield. I suggest not considering Yuehutai for the time being."

"The story of Love Letter is not suitable for TV broadcast if it is adapted into a TV series. It is normal for them to offer a low price. We are just trying to express our attitude." Lu Yanhe said, "Have Maxine and HP come to inquire?"

"They are more interested in remaking movies in other languages," Xu Tianming said, "especially Maxine. Jong Ben-seok is very interested in remaking Love Letter into a Korean version."

Lu Yanhe: "We will not consider authorizing a remake of the movie version within three years."

Although Xu Tianming was a little surprised, he nodded immediately.

"But can I ask why?" Xu Tianming asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "I hope this movie will be unique in everyone's heart, and this will take time to settle."

Xu Tianming nodded.

"What do you think about Light Chaser Animation's plan to produce an animated version of 'Wulin Waijia'?" he asked again.

Lu Yanhe said: "I am actually willing to make an animated version, but after watching the animation works that Light Chaser Animation has made before, to be honest, I am not very satisfied. They have only made fighting works before. Can they do this kind of daily comedy? The style is too different."

Xu Tianming said: "But Light Chaser Animation is already the top animation production company in China."

Lu Yanhe: "The show hasn't even finished airing yet. Oh, right? The second season of "Wulin Waijia" is about to start airing, right?"

"Yes." Xu Tianming nodded.

Lu Yanhe: "Well, ask them if they can make a few drafts for us first. I want to see what style they are going to make. Also, what are their plans for this animation? How do they want to adapt it? The four words "Wulin Wai Zhuan" carry a lot of weight in the hearts of the audience. I don't want them to treat "Wulin Wai Zhuan" as a fast-moving consumer product with a big IP just to make a quick buck."

Xu Tianming said: "They are very sincere. They actually reported a production plan to me before. They hope to make a spin-off based on "Wulin Waijia" to tell the story of the main characters before they came to Tongfu Inn. Of course, the style of Jianghu comedy will still be maintained."

Lu Yanhe said, "How about we make an appointment with them? I want to hear their ideas in person."

Xu Tianming said: "Okay, I'll make an appointment with them."
-
Lu Yanhe originally wanted to rest for two days before joining the group.

The filming of The Legend of Sword and Fairy has already started, and his joining the crew a few days later will not affect the filming progress.

Anyway, he doesn't have that many scenes.

Besides, the crew still had a few days to arrange for him to join the crew, so he could have a legitimate rest.

However, Yan Liang and Li Zhibai were both in the crew, and Chen Siqi also took people on a business trip to Malaysia to discuss the publishing plan of "Jump Up" there.

Lu Yanhe thought about it, then packed up and went to the crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

It's boring to be alone.

Unexpectedly, he had just arrived at the crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and had not yet entered the hotel door when a call suddenly came in on his mobile phone.

The name "Huang Lian" is displayed on it.

Lu Yanhe couldn't even remember when he saved Huang Lian's number.

It seemed like they had never had any contact with each other.

Although I don't know why he called me at this time, but -

Lu Yanhe directly rejected the call and blocked the number immediately.

He told Chen Ziyan about this.

After Chen Ziyan learned of Lu Yanhe's reaction, she smiled and said, "You were right not to answer the call. The fact that he was able to set up a separate award shows that he has crossed the bottom line. Who knows what trap he is going to set up by calling you."

Lu Yanhe: "I didn't think so much. I just thought, why should I care about him? I didn't get along with Jingtai before. At that time, I was not strong enough, had no backing, and no background. I could only endure it. Now I am not afraid of him. What can he do to me? Why should I put up with him?"

Chen Ziyan: "I guess Huang Lian will contact you through some people later. The Golden Tripod Award and his public opinion situation are not very good now. Love Letter has topped the global movie box office for two consecutive weeks. Now it is released in several places overseas and the box office performance is very good. As far as I know, the General Administration is very surprised by the global performance of Love Letter. They will not let you be affected by things like the Golden Tripod Award. To be honest, when you were interviewed by the BBC in the UK, they mentioned the Golden Tripod Award, which still made some people in China a little wary. If this matter really becomes a scandal fermented by the international media, many people will be affected."

Lu Yanhe: "So what you mean is that the higher-ups put pressure on Huang Lian, and Huang Lian couldn't stand it anymore, so he wants to make peace with me?"

"It's possible." Chen Ziyan said, "On the other hand, don't forget that you have a different status in the entertainment industry and in the hearts of many people. You represent something. How could anyone be willing to see you being retaliated against by Huang Lian because of the Blue Ribbon Award? If even you who have achieved such a result can be manipulated so easily by Huang Lian, others will feel that they are in trouble. Therefore, even in this industry, there are many people who are supporting you with their power without our knowledge."

Lu Yanhe nodded, he understood.

"No matter what, keep doing your best." Chen Ziyan said with a smile, "Your Love Letter has achieved such good results. Not only has it won awards, but it also represents the large-scale release of Chinese-language films in so many places around the world. This is the biggest reason for you not to answer Huang Lian's call."

Lu Yanhe said: "Then, 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' will be a real commercial film. Although its style is completely different from 'Love Letter', in the eyes of many people, it is definitely a similar subject matter. If the box office of 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' does not catch up with 'Love Letter', will it be criticized by people?"

"This is actually something I wanted to discuss with you." Chen Ziyan said, "Do you want to continue starring in Those Years?"

When writing the script for Those Years, just like Love Letter, we needed a script that could be filmed right away. Love Letter was chosen, so Those Years was shelved. At that time, Lu Yanhe planned to star in the film, but now it seems that Those Years is not a necessary option for him.

Lu Yanhe said: "To be honest, I personally prefer to act."

He likes this movie.

The male protagonist in "Those Years" and Huai Jingshu in "Love Letter" are completely different types.

This is also a type of role that Lu Yanhe has never played before.

Moreover, he really wants to play a character that is completely different from himself.

Lu Yanhe thinks that the best thing about Ko Ching-teng is that he is the real image of a high school student on the big screen. Including "Love Letter", there is no male protagonist like Ko Ching-teng in any youth-themed movie, as if he was caught from a high school and filmed like a documentary to present a real texture. He is noisy, immature, loves simply and directly, and is very straightforward, but he is definitely the most likable person in the class (or he is the most disliked by girls because he always teases people).

If Shen Jiayi is the white moonlight, then Ke Jingteng is the ordinary boy who looks up at the moonlight in every white moonlight story. Fortunately, this movie is not the kind of youth love story of a dog chasing a goddess.

"If you want to play the role, then go ahead." Chen Ziyan smiled. "I was originally thinking of giving up the role and finding someone else to play it. I feel that any actor with good acting skills can play the role of Ko Ching-teng."

"Yes, but it's still difficult to make it a classic. You have to completely let go of your star aura and not have any traces of acting." Lu Yanhe said, "Either find a completely newcomer who has never acted before to play the role, or I will play it."

"You are quite obsessed with this role." Chen Ziyan smiled, "Then what do you think of the role of Shen Jiayi?"

"Shen Jiayi?" Lu Yanhe shook his head. "Not yet."

"Do you know why I suggest you not to act?" Chen Ziyan said, "This story is ultimately about a boy who likes a girl and has been pursuing her for a long time. Although it's not a dog-licking story, who would you let Lu Yanhe keep pursuing the girl he likes? Would the audience accept it? This involves the question of whether you can get into the role or not. You two are just great actors, and the audience always has preconceived prejudices. Unless you let Chen Siqi play the role, then everyone will be OK and accept it. But in your ending, the heroine marries someone else."

"..." Lu Yanhe felt as if he had been hit by a heavy blow.

He realized that what Chen Ziyan said was actually right.

People cannot talk about dreams without considering the actual conditions.

Another very important reason why "Those Years" became popular is that when the movie was released, the male and female protagonists were basically "unknown" newcomers, which was the time when the audience felt the strongest connection with the actors.

A blank sheet of paper, without any "prejudice".

If Lu Yanhe plays Ke Jingteng again now, who will play Shen Jiayi?
Among the actresses of the same age as Lu Yanhe, is there anyone who can play a girl who is liked and pursued by Lu Yanhe for so many years and is recognized by the audience?
Looking around, there is no such person.

Maybe after "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", if her Ling'er can reach the height of the original, she may be able to do it.

But it is impossible for Lu Yanhe to keep holding back the filming of "Those Years" until "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is aired.

Moreover, after playing Ling'er, Yan Lingyu may have reached the height in the hearts of the audience that Lu Yanhe has liked him for so many years. However, Yan Lingyu's image and temperament can play Ling'er, but not Shen Jiayi.

Shen Jiayi is a pure girl who is the type of good student she was in her school days. She likes Ke Jingteng and has an appearance that can surprise the audience but not cause them to question.

Think about it, if you put yourself in the shoes of Fairy Sister, do you think she would also like a guy like Ko Ching-teng?

At one moment I actually felt awkward.

With the appearance of Fairy Sister, she doesn't have the kind of friendliness that other classmates have.

Yan Lingyu just happens to be of this style.

She is cold and beautiful, and with some training she can play the innocent and cute character like Ling'er, but there is no way she can convince you that she could be your classmate.

Lu Yanhe has always felt that the basis for the success of any youth romance film is definitely not how good the story is, but the casting.

It is crucial whether the male and female protagonists can convince the audience and whether they can make the audience empathize with the characters.

It's a pity for the actress Shen Jiayi. She was originally the best successor to actresses like Ariel Lin. Although she may not be able to reach the top, she has their unique audience appeal.

Pull away, pull back.

Melancholy.

Lu Yanhe has rationally realized that he may not be suitable for filming "Those Years".
-
So, when Li Zhibai and Yan Liang saw Lu Yanhe, they happened to encounter Lu Yanhe's depressed and regretful state of being unable to let go of "Those Years".

"What's wrong with you?" Li Zhibai threw him a bottle of yogurt, which was still cold.

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I don't want to say."

Li Zhibai: "You tell me."

"What's the difficulty? Tell us and we'll see if we can help." Yan Liang said.

"No, it's just a script I wrote before. I originally wanted to act it myself, but now I suddenly realize that I may not be able to act it." Lu Yanhe sighed.

"Which script?" Li Zhibai asked.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang basically read the script written by Lu Yanhe as soon as possible.

""those years"."

"You can't act? Then just act for me." Li Zhibai said immediately.

"You just starred in "I Can't Fake My Death", and now you're starring in a romantic movie?"

"'Fake Your Death' is set in an urban setting, which is different from 'Those Years'." Li Zhibai said, "Originally, if you wanted to act, I wouldn't say anything. Now that you don't want to act, I want to act."

"You..." Lu Yanhe really wanted to say, you are not suitable.

But after Li Zhibai's image overlapped with Ke Jingteng, Lu Yanhe couldn't say the word "inappropriate" at all.

Li Zhibai pointed at Yan Liang and said, "You can't say he is more suitable than me, right? He is totally unsuitable."

Neither Lu Yanhe nor Yan Liang could deny this.

Yan Liang’s image is too positive, so asking him to play a boy like Ke Jingteng is not suitable in all aspects.

Lu Yanhe will not discuss the matter of “Those Years” for now.

Although Li Zhibai wanted to act, Lu Yanhe still wanted to give himself a chance to struggle.

Maybe an actress will emerge who can act with him.

Anyway, it won’t be turned on in the near future.

In the evening, they had dinner together, and Yan Liang said, "You just arrived, so I have to leave for a few days."

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"'Liu Guang Yin' is going to be aired in two days, and I have to go to cooperate with the drama promotion, which will take me five days." Yan Liang said, "I had coordinated it before joining the crew. Fortunately, your drama has many roles, so it is relatively easy to coordinate the shooting dates for each of us."

Lu Yanhe: "Is 'Liu Guang Yin' going to be broadcast? The God of War is about to appear."

"Don't make fun of me. I'm really nervous right now. I don't know if the audience will buy it." Yan Liang sighed. "You and Li Zhibai's scenes were all a hit. I'm really stressed. Everyone is staring at me."

Lu Yanhe: "Of course, your drama is not a surprise. Look at your publicity, it started at the end of June and has been going on for more than a month. The results must be good. And why are you so nervous? Zhang Lan is the one who carries the show."

Yan Liang: "When calculating grades, who cares if you are the first or second best actor? You are the male lead, and if your grades are poor, it only means that you can't carry the show."

"No." Li Zhibai said, "Don't you think about it? The three of us all think your character is good in this drama, and you acted so hard and seriously. The audience may not like it that much at most, but they will definitely not dislike it."

Yan Liang let out a long sigh.

"I was anxious when I wasn't famous. I kept thinking about when I would become famous. Now that I'm famous, I'm still anxious because I don't know when my performance will not be as good as before and I will go downhill."

"Don't worry, we'll be with you no matter whether you're going uphill or downhill." Li Zhibai patted Yan Liang on the shoulder, "Stop nagging and drink!"
