"You've made progress. I thought you would have a fight with Liu Manbo."

Lin Suyang smiled at Li Zhi.

Li Zhibai: "Why should I fight with him?"

"If you had disagreements with others before, wouldn't you have started fighting with them a long time ago? You really impressed me this time." Lin Suyang said, "You were able to suppress your temper and avoid conflict with Liu Manbo."

"Well, he doesn't have much background or voice on the crew. If I still have a conflict with him, how can he convince the audience on the crew." Li Zhibai was very irritated, "Then I can only be a little more tolerant."

"You've really grown up." Lin Suyang praised.

Li Zhibai smiled and raised the corners of his mouth.

Lin Suyang: "Zhi Bai, after doing "Nineteen Years" this time, will you still be the producer of your next drama?"

When Li Zhibai encountered such a problem before, he would refuse without hesitation.

But this time he hesitated.

After a while, he said: "I don't know, it depends on the situation."

Maybe it's "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality." Li Zhibai thought about it again. If he acted in a play again, especially a play starring himself, he would be able to control himself and only abide by the duties of an actor. , won’t you interfere with other matters of the crew?

In an ideal world, of course, when a crew is running, each person performs his or her duties and is in his/her place. However, in reality, more people's mentality is to "get the job done." Many times, it's not that every actor changes the script just to add drama to themselves, but that the script is really bad, and it's not that every actor wants to take over too much, but that other people do too bad a job and don't interfere. This drama can only lead to the fate of being thrown into the street.

Li Zhibai has never been so deeply involved in the production of a film and television drama. After participating in it, and knowing that the operation of a drama involves so many intricate and difficult-to-control links, it is difficult for him to turn a blind eye to it all and only focus on his role as an actor.

There will be more and more conflicts with others in the future.

This is almost expected.

However, at the same time, he is no longer so passive about what a play can be.

This feeling made him a little addicted.

"Power." Lin Suyang smiled slightly and told him firmly that this was the desire for power.

Li Zhibai frowned and asked, "Do I have a desire for power?"

"What do you think power is?" Lin Suyang asked.

"Manage...manage others? Rule others?" Li Zhibai asked tentatively.

"No, let things advance in the direction you want." Lin Suyang said.

Li Zhibai was thoughtful.

On the day Lu Yanhe left Malaysia, many fans came to see him off.

He signed many photos and posters on the spot and took photos with many fans.

The enthusiasm of these fans is no less than that of Lu Yanhe's domestic fans.

Although some unpleasant things have happened, Lu Yanhe's fans are still a very large group and are extremely supportive of him.

Lu Yanhe returned to China. After landing, he did not rush home. Instead, he went to Shihuo first and signed a contract with Shihuo.

His agency contract with Star Entertainment will end soon, and Shi Huo will be responsible for his agency work.

At the same time, he also signed his European and American agency contract with Williams Agency.

In this way, when he goes to work in Europe and the United States in the future, he will not need people from their country to be responsible.

Darren Wilson seems to be very enthusiastic about Lu Yanhe.

He directly brought Lu Yanhe endorsement contracts for three brands in the Asia-Pacific region in one fell swoop—all of which were long-term cooperation contracts that would be upgraded to global endorsements in two years.

Their attitude and sincerity are sufficient.

The first news released by Shihuo, the studio established for Lu Yanhe, was these two signings.

From now on, Lu Yanhe has nothing to do with Xingyu.

This can be considered an amicable breakup.

This also surprised the industry. With Lu Yanhe's current status and commercial value, how could Star Entertainment let him go so easily?

At the same time, the news that Lu Yanhe signed a contract with Williams Agency also made everyone realize that Lu Yanhe really plans to enter overseas in the future.

"Lu Yanhe won't shift the focus of filming overseas in the future, right?"

"It's also possible that the top actors in South Korea are all starting to cooperate with streaming media."

"Lu Yanhe definitely still wants to make theatrical movies. His first English-language film has a global box office of 200 million. If he just wants to get results on streaming media, the movies he shoots are enough."

"Yes, he has several dramas such as "Squidward" and "Friends" in hand. If he just wants to get production funds from streaming media and shoot some dramas that will be released on streaming media, he does not need to sign a contract with an overseas studio. Brokerage firm.”

…

There is a lot of discussion about the future development of Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi went to Luo Yuzhong's house for dinner together, and Luo Yuzhong also asked curiously and doubtfully.

"Are you planning to go overseas in the future?"

"It's mainly to facilitate access to some overseas film projects." Lu Yanhe said bluntly, ""The Mist" was more successful than expected, but because I don't stay overseas all year round and don't have any working relationships there, there are many projects coming to me. I don’t have any channels, so signing with a relatively powerful overseas agency can help me with a lot of things.”

Luo Yuzhong nodded, "I thought you were planning to develop overseas all year round."

"Then I can't. I still have so many things to do." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "Teacher, actually I have something to tell you."

Luo Yuzhong asked: "What's the matter?"

Lu Yanhe took out a thick stack of scripts from his bag.

He said: "I wrote a script and want you to direct it."

Luo Yuzhong looked surprised.

"You have finished shooting the scene you are working on, and there are no other projects in the future, right?" Lu Yanhe knew Luo Yuzhong's current situation very well. He smiled, "You may have heard that this is what I gave to Li Zhibai and me. He and Yan Liang wrote a script, a fairy tale, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

Luo Yuzhong looked shocked, "Xianxia drama? You want me to be the director?"

"Teacher, please read the script first. This one is different from the popular fairy dramas on the market. It is closer to the stories of heroes, heroes and monsters in our traditional culture."

The look of disbelief on Luo Yuzhong's face still did not fade away.

He said: "I said you are too busy to keep your feet off the ground. Why did you bring Siqi to see me today? It's called a meal, but in fact you have an ulterior motive."

Lu Yanhe: "If you have any questions, please see the teacher."

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a drama that Lu Yanhe attaches great importance to, and it is also a gift he gave to the three of them.

The three of them have never filmed a movie together, so Lu Yanhe has always hoped that there can be a movie that captures their current appearance.

However, filming such a drama is also very difficult and the requirements are very high.

This is true whether it is the difficulty of shooting or the difficulty of post-production.

Lu Yanhe first watched "Legend of Sword and Fairy" when he was in elementary school. At that time, he thought it was quite good and didn't think the show was poorly made. However, when he went to high school, he unexpectedly saw some scenes from the show. , only to realize that this drama was actually shot in a shoddy way - Lu Yanhe was also thinking at that time, it would be great if this drama could be shot with a higher quality.

To say that this drama has profound meaning and cultural depth is actually not the case. But it just fits the age of Lu Yanhe and the three of them now, and it is also the young passion and chivalry that can only be performed at this age.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe hopes to find Luo Yuzhong to be the director.

"Xianxia dramas are very popular, but it is difficult to produce a high-quality fairy drama. I hope to invite teachers to make it a high-quality drama." Lu Yanhe said bluntly and put forward the reasons why he asked Luo Yuzhong to direct this drama.

Luo Yuzhong was very caring about Lu Yanhe, but this did not mean that he would not refuse Lu Yanhe's request.

Especially this kind of thing.

"I want to see the script," he said.

"Yes." Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, "Thank you, teacher."

-

After having dinner together, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi were not in a hurry to leave. They sat down on the sofa with Luo Yuzhong and his family, watching TV and chatting.

"Qiqi, how is the overseas film critics film festival you organized going?" Luo Yuzhong asked.

Chen Siqi said with a smile: "It's almost done. We plan to hold it in June. The weather will be better and comfortable, and it will be timed to coincide with the more popular international film festivals."

Luo Yuzhong nodded.

"I saw your Moments earlier and saw that "Jump Up" has a Japanese version and an English version?"

Chen Siqi nodded and said, "Yes, but at present, both versions have only released one volume. The sales volume is not very good, and the publisher does not want to release a second volume."

"Will you continue to go out later?" Luo Yuzhong asked.

"Yes, of course." Chen Siqi said, "We are contacting other publishing houses and media. Whether it is electronic publishing or physical book publishing, I still hope that the brand "Jump Up" can become famous overseas."

Luo Yuzhong nodded.

"You two are quite amazing now. One is producing content and the other is promoting. When you two join forces, both of you have to avoid the edge." He joked, "I hope Chinese film and television dramas can reach higher heights in your hands."

Lu Yanhe quickly waved his hand and said, "Teacher, when you put on this hat, we were so scared that we didn't dare to speak. How can you have such high ambitions?"

"How can you be so modest at this time? Seriously." Luo Yuzhong said seriously, "I have participated in several high-profile meetings in the past six months, and the General Administration has done very well with your films overseas. The dramas that have been aired are very satisfactory. It is rare to see a Chinese drama. It really spread and was loved by the audience, especially "Friends". They all believed that this drama reflected the life of young people in our country's contemporary cities and effectively countered the overseas media's deliberate efforts to smear our country's underdevelopment and false prosperity. rumors."

Lu Yanhe: "...this word is quite similar. Teacher, which leader's speech did you hear it from?"

"You just need to be poor." Luo Yuzhong smiled, "Anyway, as long as you know what I mean, you haven't noticed that in the past two years, as long as it is your play, whether it is filming or reviewed, and then broadcast later, Basically everything went smoothly, didn't you encounter any obstacles? Your drama was approved by many leaders. "

Luo Yuzhong said to Chen Siqi, "The same goes for "Jump Up". You have this idea to sell the magazine overseas. Although it has not been successful yet, it is definitely supported. What you are doing is now strongly advocated by the superiors. direction, so, to be honest, I really hope I hope you can bring our Chinese film and television dramas to the world stage to shine. I never think that our film and television drama art is inferior to others, but we are indeed old. In the past, the environment was not so good, but now the environment is not so good. It has changed, and we are no longer capable.”

Lu Yanhe: "No way, you are still in charge. "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a very difficult drama to film. You are the only one I can think of who can produce this drama with the quality I imagined. "

Luo Yuzhong: "You asked me not to wear a high hat for you, but you changed your hands and put one on me."

"It's true. Now you have to make a fairy tale drama very beautiful and have very good special effects. In fact, many people can do it, but if you want to make a fairy tale drama with a realistic texture and a real passionate hero "I'm angry, there are really only a few directors I know." Lu Yanhe said, "It's even more difficult to find a director for a good-looking fairy tale drama with the quality of a drama. Anyway, you are the only one I know."

Luo Yuzhong: "That's what you said, but what will you do if I don't plan to take on your drama in the future?"

"Then I will continue to visit the thatched cottage to persuade you and persuade you." Lu Yanhe showed a look of shamelessness.

Luo Yuzhong: "..."

-

After coming out of Luo Yuzhong's house, Chen Siqi said to Lu Yanhe, "I feel like Teacher Luo was shocked by your shamelessness."

Lu Yanhe laughed.

"It doesn't matter how thick-skinned you are in front of the teacher."

"However, I really didn't expect that you would want to find Teacher Luo to be the director of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"." Chen Siqi asked, "How did you think of Teacher Luo?"

"Because the costume dramas directed by the teacher have very good quality." Lu Yanhe said, "If "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be shot with a very high-quality costume drama, it will definitely look good."

"Indeed, 99% of the current Xianxia dramas are idol dramas disguised as Xianxia. They are all the same. It is quite fresh to have such a drama." Chen Siqi said, "Ten or twenty years ago , there are quite a few fairy tale dramas of this type.”

Lu Yanhe: "Actually, the homogeneity is getting more and more serious. Then a subject gets tired of being filmed and no one watches it. After ten or twenty years, when it is republished, it becomes fresh."

Chen Siqi: "If Mr. Luo is willing to direct "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the salary cost for the four of you alone will be very high. In addition, the special effects and post-production of this drama will also cost money... You won't Are you planning to make an all-star lineup again?”

Lu Yanhe said: "We really have to control the cost and wait until the teacher agrees to direct. If the teacher really doesn't want to be the director in the end, then we will have to use another filming method." (End of Chapter)
