Become Famous Another Day - Chapter 443
On Weibo, Lu Yanhe interacted normally with Yan Liang and Li Zhibai, and they did not appear to be affected by the rumors of “facial nerve disorder” at all.
His attitude made more and more people believe that this was a rumor.
On the day when “The Journey” was screened at the Dutch Film Festival, Lu Yanhe happened to have class and was unable to pay attention to what was going on there.
After he finished the class, he took out his silent phone and found that there were many unread messages on it.
The media reviews for “The Lost Journey” came out first.
It can be said that it has mixed praise and praise, and is polarized.
Many media said that as a comedy, this movie is very qualified. Not only are many of the lines very clever, but it is also very funny. You can laugh almost from the beginning to the end. At the same time, it is rare to see the script in such a comedy. Well, it’s rare.
Another part of the media said that they thought someone who could write a movie script like “Rouge” would write such a vulgar comedy? Moreover, it is a very vulgar comedy that relies on unexpected events and exaggerated actions to create unexpected jokes.
Lu Yanhe felt that such comments were expected.
He also never expected the film to receive critical acclaim—few comedy films have done that.
Compared with foreign media, the domestic media’s evaluation of “Journey to the Road” is much higher.
The story that takes place in the context of Spring Festival travel is a background that only Chinese people can relate to.
And workers’ debt collection is an act with special significance of the times.
Therefore, actions that may appear exaggerated in the eyes of foreigners are not purposeless or deliberately exaggerated to Chinese people.
This year’s Jose Film Festival only has competitions for screenings, or for world premieres like “Flower on the Star” to be held in a venue. There are hundreds of films to be screened. No matter what, the movie must have a buzz, otherwise, no one will pay attention to it, and it will be over, and then it will be a waste of time.
“The Journey” was successfully screened at the Jose Film Festival.
The director, Jia Long and Wang Dashan were interviewed by the media at the film festival. There were a lot of media at the scene. Obviously, they were all very interested in this movie.
How to verify the popularity of a movie at a film festival? You can actually see it by looking at this.
Jia Long’s popularity in Asia is still very high.
“Did Lu Yanhe come to you for this movie?” some media asked.
“Yes.” Jia Long nodded, “When I heard that he wrote a script, I was surprised. Before that, I didn’t know that Lu Yanhe could write a script, nor did I know that his scripts were so good. In fact, I didn’t know that Lu Yanhe could write a script. We who make comedy films all know that it is really difficult to find a good script. Many times, it is very difficult to achieve a sense of proportion. If it is too much, it will be too much. If it is not to that level, the laughter will not be achieved. If a comedy film fails to make the audience laugh in the end, it will be a failure. As soon as I received Yan He’s script, I knew that this was the kind of script I wanted to encounter.”
The media said: “But this time Yan He went back after attending the premiere of “Rouge”. Why didn’t he stay with everyone to attend the premiere of “On the Road”?
Jia Long said: “He is still a college student. He has to rush back to class.”
Jia Long’s answer was really beyond everyone’s expectations.
Many overseas media had many preset answers, but they did not expect to say this.
The domestic media are…a little surprised. Anyway, Lu Yanhe, a good student, would have someone help him establish his character from time to time. For other celebrities and artists, even if they are still college students, they will find this reason outrageous when they hear it in class. But when this happened to Lu Yanhe, it became normal.
Of course, at the Joseon Film Festival, “Rouge” was more popular than “Journey”. Several film companies are vying for the overseas distribution rights of “Rouge”, but the bids are not high, ranging from two to three million US dollars. Maxine and HP also made bids, but what they wanted to buy was not the distribution rights, but the exclusive rights. At a fixed price, we buy out the overseas exclusive copyright and put it on video websites for screening – the price is high. If you are willing to sell it, you can make “Rouge Button” recoup its costs with this income.
Wang Zhong came to ask Lu Yanhe for his opinion, and Lu Yanhe said that he had no opinion, it would be fine.
You can’t expect the movie “Rouge” to make a lot of money for you all at once. It can only take a long-term path and rely on the accumulated copyright fees every year.
After thinking about it, Wang Zhong decided to follow the path of his previous movies, negotiating with film studios in various places that he had cooperated with for a long time, and selling them separately. Each company may not give much, maybe one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. At prices like the U.S. dollar, box office heavyweights such as the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Japan are slightly better. When accumulated, they are not too small, but they are troublesome and nerve-wracking.
The streaming media rights were given to HP. It wasn’t that Lu Yanhe wanted to cooperate with HP more, but that HP offered a higher price, $500,000 more than Maxine.
Zhong Benshuo was very depressed. If he had enough authority, he would never let this movie slip away from his hands just because of the gap of half a million dollars.
After watching the movie, he knew that it was unknown how the movie would perform in Europe and the United States, but it would definitely be liked by Asian audiences.
Zhong Benzhuo also called Lu Yanhe specifically to express his depression and discomfort.
Lu Yanhe couldn’t laugh or cry.
“I have returned to China, and I am not in charge of sales matters.” He told Zhong Benzhuo.
Zhong Benshuo said: “It’s so abominable. That guy Tom White must have arranged a spy in our Maxine, otherwise how could he know our quotation so well!”
Lu Yanhe smiled noncommittally.
He couldn’t answer these words.
Zhong Benshuo: “Yan He, you know very well how much I want to cooperate with you and let your drama be broadcast on Maxine.”
Lu Yanhe: “It’s just “Rouge Button”, there are many more dramas to follow.”
Zhong Benshuo: “Oh, it’s a pity that I am a soft-spoken person and can’t make my boss fully realize how valuable your play is.”
Lu Yanhe: “Haha.”
Anyway, no matter what Zhong Benzhuo said, Lu Yanhe would just respond like this and would not give any substantive content.
Lu Yanhe didn’t know whether Zhong Benzhuo came to him to inquire about information. Regardless of whether he did, he did not intend to say anything informative to Zhong Benzhuo.
He took him to the second floor and to that room. This alone was enough to make Lu Yanhe stay away from him.
Zhong Benzhuo seemed to be aware of Lu Yanhe’s alienation from him.
“Yan He, you’re not still blaming that thing, are you?” Zhong Benzhuo asked with a hint of grievance in his tone.
In this industry, everyone is a performing artist.
Lu Yanhe: “What’s the matter?”
He looked confused and confused, as if he had no idea what Zhong Benzhuo was talking about.
“Well, you are still blaming me. Yes, I know that I didn’t say hello to you in advance. It was indeed because I was not thoughtful.” “Mr. Zhong, you are serious. You have always been very considerate in entertaining me.” Lu Yanhe said, ” I have to go to class soon, I have to hang up the phone.”
Zhong Benshuo: “Oh, okay, then I’ll go to Yuming next week and make an appointment with you again.”
“Okay, let’s talk about it then.”
Lu Yanhe hung up the phone.
He carefully recalled the phone call he had just had with Zhong Benzhuo.
Well, confirmed, I didn’t say anything I shouldn’t have said.
Maybe he was overthinking, he always felt that Zhong Benzhuo was still trying to pull him into a less visible area.
Lu Yanhe also didn’t like his practice of always talking about feelings at work.
It’s not that you can’t talk about feelings at work. There are many people talking about feelings at work – but they don’t have any relationship foundation, so how can they talk about it? Talk about a castle-in-the-air relationship?
Your own money is not as high as HP’s, and someone else won “Rouge Button”. Why are you coming to me to complain? Do you blame me for not caring about my relationship with you? Even if the price is higher, I still want to give you this drama?
Lu Yanhe was speechless.
He took a deep breath.
At this time, Tom White sent an email: We have won the exclusive overseas copyright of “Rouge Button”. At that time, we want to do some special screenings and promotional activities in several overseas places to prepare for the film’s release in the country. Our HP is online for promotion, and we ask you to take some time to come out and participate in related activities.
Lu Yanhe replied: No problem.
Tom White immediately sent a new email: Our internal assessment of the movie “Journey” is that it is too Chinese and difficult for overseas audiences to understand. We do not plan to bid like we did for “Rouge”. , if Maxine or other companies are more interested, we will give up.
Lu Yanhe replied: OK.
Tom White: But if no other company buys it, we still hope to get it. For the works written by you, I hope HP can own as many as possible.
Lu Yanhe laughed.
Tom White’s words really made him feel comfortable.
–
Because Lu Yanhe was under too much pressure, Chen Ziyan had turned down almost all of his work since he came back.
Whether it is program recording or other business cooperation, basically push forward whatever you can, hoping that Lu Yanhe can rest peacefully at least in May.
However, as a result, several working parties who had agreed upon it before were a little confused. I finally knocked down Lu Yanhe, but now I can’t discuss it with them. What happened… The most important thing is that Chen Ziyan’s attitude is not very tough. She pays those who should pay, and promises to continue to cooperate in the future. Her attitude is very soft. And, people can’t say anything.
In fact, Lu Yanhe felt that it was not so serious. The work had been communicated long ago, so it would be okay to participate. But Chen Ziyan firmly refused, insisting that he not have to work in May and should stay in school to take classes and rest.
“I know you are in good condition now and don’t feel tired, but the problem is not that you are tired, but that once you work, your mind will start to focus on that one thing.” Chen Ziyan said, “The safest way is to do everything first stop.”
“There is no way to stop “Love Letter”. The filming will start in July.” Lu Yanhe couldn’t laugh or cry.
“There is no way to stop this, but we are basically ready.” Chen Ziyan said, “The production team, shooting locations, actors, logistics… I borrowed his assistant Zhao Yuheng from Lei Shuangcheng to be the coordinator. Now, with him here, you don’t have to worry about any of these things. From now on, for the movie “Love Letter”, you only have to think about one thing, how to shoot it. For other things, all departments don’t need you. worry.”
Chen Ziyan’s tone was unquestionable, leaving Lu Yanhe at a loss as to what to say.
Lei Shuangcheng is the producer who has worked with director Luo Yuzhong for fifteen years. Zhao Yuheng is Lei Shuangcheng’s most capable general. Lu Yanhe had dealt with Zhao Yuheng when he was filming “Golden Age” and knew his abilities. He followed Lei Shuangcheng all the way around the crew and knew everything about the crew.
Having such a person as the co-ordinator will really help a lot.
Almost all daily troubles will be solved by him.
Chen Ziyan was really shocked by Lu Yanhe’s excessive pressure.
Her first priority in everything now is not to bring trouble or pressure to Lu Yanhe.
–
Chen Ziyan’s style and attitude made everyone start to murmur in their hearts.
What happened to Lu Yanhe?
Could it be that something really went wrong with Lu Yanhe?
However, Zhou Shuchun, who originally broke the news, remained silent and pretended to be dead after being scolded by Chen Ziyan. No new information came out at all.
At this time, this edition of the Jose Film Festival ushered in the closing ceremony and awards ceremony.
Wang Zhong called him and asked him if he could come to participate, saying that they had received a call from the organizing committee and invited all members of “Rouge Button” to attend the closing ceremony.
This basically means that “Rouge Button” has a prize, and it’s still a grand prize.
Lu Yanhe actually wanted to go. The closing ceremony was on Sunday and he could make it there. The time was OK.
But after thinking about it, I forgot about it. Now that he’s in a situation like this, he should try his best to appear in public as little as possible. If his expression loses control again, that’s GG.
Chen Ziyan’s efforts to cancel all his work in May were actually based on this consideration.
No one knows whether Lu Yanhe will come again.
So Lu Yanhe decided not to go.
The crew of “Rouge” was recalled by the organizing committee of the Dutch Film Festival and the news that Lu Yanhe decided not to attend the closing ceremony of the Dutch Film Festival was released at the same time.
On the one hand, people who are paying attention to this movie are starting to have their hearts beat faster and are beginning to look forward to what kind of awards this movie will win. On the other hand, some people are also muttering that “Rouge Button” is about to receive the award, but Lu Yanhe is not attending. ,why is that? And because I have classes, I can’t go?
Isn’t the closing ceremony on Sunday? This reason is no longer valid.
Combined with Zhou Shuchun’s previous revelations, everyone began to wonder again, is Lu Yanhe really in trouble?
For any artist, the most fearful thing is such specious rumors.
Because there is no way to prove it yourself.
No one can prove what they have not done.
Lu Yanhe couldn’t go to the hospital for a checkup to prove that he didn’t have facial nerve disorder.
If he does this, it will appear that he is serious.
Fortunately, Zhenhua’s classmates took a short video of Lu Yanhe on campus from time to time, proving that Lu Yanhe was doing everything as usual.
When the news came back that “Rouge” won two awards for Best Actress and Audience Choice Award at this year’s Hollywood Film Festival, Lu Yanhe immediately posted a message to celebrate –
marvelous! Congratulations to Sister Bi Ge! Congratulations to all colleagues at Rouge Button! We won a prize! (End of chapter)
