Chapter 356 Why do you think so much?
“Such a big battle, if the premiere doesn’t break 1, I’ll probably be booed by a lot of people.”
"Seventeenth Floor" When everyone was having dinner together, even Bei couldn't help but express how stressed he was.
However, it is true that it is impossible not to be stressed.
Especially the director.
The two people who are under the greatest pressure on this project are director Lian Bei and the lead actor Chen Bige.
The former is a rising star director who became a hit with his first play. Whether the second play can continue the glory of the first play is an answer he has to hand in.
The latter is a top actor who stands at the top of the actor pyramid. She has not acted in a TV series for many years. This time she returns to the small screen. Whether she can sustain the ratings and launch a hit movie is also an answer she has to hand in.
The pressure in Lu Yanhe is much less.
He was the one who carried the drama in "Six People", but not in "Seventeenth Floor".
Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
"I always feel that this kind of subject matter might be better if it is broadcast exclusively on the Internet. I am always a little uneasy about whether the TV station's ratings can be improved." Lian Bei smiled and sighed, "But it has already reached this point. I can only bite the bullet and move forward, and I sincerely hope that our drama will achieve good results so that I can realize the idea of my trilogy."
Based on Lu Yanhe’s understanding of Li Yuefeng, if Li Yuefeng had such a spirit of introspection, the industry would not be accustomed to his operations and form a widespread understanding.
Including Li Yuefeng.
Lu Yanhe got straight to the point and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
It is estimated that this is just a starting point, and the main event is yet to come.
Li Yuefeng smiled at him and said, "Is it convenient for us to chat again?"
"I want to apologize to you. In some publicity matters before, my team did some inappropriate actions." Li Yuefeng said, "Actually, in "Seventeen Floors", the contract I signed with the crew was three times. , but the people in my team wanted me to take advantage of this drama, so when promoting it to the outside world, they promoted me in the same direction as you. After I found out, I also told them Sorry, don’t do this again, but what I did before has been done, and it’s hard to stop it, so I think I still need to tell you.”
He met Lu Yanhe tonight. The so-called apology for his position was just an introduction. The most important thing was another matter.
Lu Yanhe said: "Director, it's definitely possible. The main audience for "Seventeenth Floor" is young people. This time our promotion is focused on the young market. The topic in the early stage is very hot, and it will definitely be converted into ratings."
Lu Yanhe nodded and admitted.
In fact, when we were eating just now, everyone had already talked a lot between changing glasses.
Before Lu Yanhe was about to get in the car, he was suddenly stopped by Li Yuefeng.
“Yanhe.”
This also made him very willing to stay with the crew of "Seventeenth Floor".
Li Yuefeng said: "There is a teahouse nearby. Should we go there to sit?"
He is still thinking about how to get ahead in the Jiji camp, but Lu Yanhe has reached the point where he can manage the project by himself.
There are basically no projects in this industry that can be kept completely confidential.
Li Yuefeng nodded hesitantly and said, "One more thing. I heard that you are preparing a costume comedy, "Wulin Gaiden" with Northern Lights Video, right?"
Li Yuefeng was actually a little worried at first. After all, he and his management team are riding on Lu Yanhe's popularity and want to turn themselves into a leading actor on par with Lu Yanhe, not a supporting actor. The performance contract he signed with Beijing and Taiwan clearly stated that the leading actor in this drama was Lu Yanhe, and he, Li Yuefeng, was only the third actor.
When the news spread, Lu Yanhe didn’t feel surprised.
Lu Yanhe smiled, nodded, and said: "This matter does bother me a little, but I also believe that Brother Feng, you definitely didn't mean it. In fact, it's not that important to do it again and again, so I'm just doing it twice. , Sister Bige is Ichiban, but when a drama becomes a hit, all of us participating actors will certainly benefit. As for the original six starring roles in "Six People", in the end no one will figure out who is Ichiban and who is Liuban. ”
Li Yuefeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, "Six People" is simply a miracle. It produced five first-line actors in one go."
After dinner, everyone dispersed and went home.
Lu Yanhe and Li Yuefeng also communicated privately. Lu Yanhe didn't know why Li Yuefeng suddenly came to talk to him at this time.
Everyone knows that Lu Yanhe also has a "Battle Royale" theme drama behind him, but it has not been launched yet.
“This subject is also very novel.” Lin Chan also said with a smile, “Friends around me are very interested in this subject.”
Lu Yanhe said: "I also have the same confidence in "Seventeenth Floor". It is a relatively rare drama in terms of subject matter and type, and with such a strong cast participating, the drama will be a hit, and no one will care who is in the series. "
Li Yuefeng didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Comparing one person to another is very annoying.
However, after testing, he found that Lu Yanhe and the others did not respond at all, and Chen Ziyan did not come to knock on his management team. This made Li Yuefeng relieved but also a little depressed. Because this shows that Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan don't care much about his "jumping around". Li Yuefeng was thinking, could it be that he could no longer enter the field of vision of these two people?
Anyway, people are so cheap. When you do sneaky things, you are afraid of being discovered, and you are also afraid of finding out that others don't care whether you did it or not.
-
Lu Yanhe gets along very well with the actors on the "Seventeenth Floor" crew.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
The environment of the tea house is relatively private, and there are only two of them in the cubicle.
“Okay.” He still agreed, “Then let’s find a place to sit for a while, shall we?”
Dwarfed by comparison.
After thinking about this, Li Yuefeng smiled and felt a little sad at the same time.
Of course, as long as they are the leading actors, there is no doubt that the performance of a drama will have an impact on them.
Lu Yanhe took the initiative and asked: "Brother Feng, you should have something else to tell me, right?"
But Lu Yanhe’s current topic made him a little confused as to where to start.
Lu Yanhe also clasped his hands and said sincerely: "I also really hope that "Seventeenth Floor" will be a big hit, so that the "Squid Game" I wrote can be sold at a better price."
Lu Yanhe turned back in surprise.
Lian Bei had a trilogy concept for "Seventeen Floors".
Li Yuefeng said: "I heard from people that there is a role in it that seems to suit me very well, so I wanted to come and recommend myself to you and ask for your opinion. What do you think?"
Lu Yanhe asked: “Which role?”
“Bai Zhantang.” Li Yuefeng said.
Lu Yanhe pondered for two seconds and said, "That's right, Brother Feng, the first one is that this role already has someone. We have already found Brother Kai Ren. On the other hand, I also think you are not suitable for this role. In terms of appearance, It’s indeed a good match, but although this character can’t be said to be older, there is definitely still a slight age gap with you, and there is also a slight gap in his temperament.”
When Li Yuefeng heard this, a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.
“There is already a candidate, which is indeed a pity.” He said.
Mainly because the candidate was Huang Kairen, Li Yuefeng was still not so confident that he thought he could compete with Huang Kairen.
And he obviously didn't take what Lu Yanhe said later to heart. Lu Yanhe smiled at Li Yuefeng and said nothing more.
-
Do we need to consider the compatibility between an actor and a role?
About this issue, Lu Yanhe firmly believes that it is necessary.
Because he himself is an actor who takes advantage of adaptability.
Whether it is "Golden Age" or "Phoenix Stage", in fact, because he is very similar to the character, the performance has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
If he had not established a basic understanding of acting through these two plays, he would certainly not have been able to perform as subversively as "Three Mountains" in the future.
Rice is eaten one bite at a time.
Drama is also performed one by one.
Having a good start, building up the confidence in acting in a good crew, and laying a good foundation, you will always have to be more familiar with it when you act in other plays later.
But it seems that many people don’t think so.
Li Yuefeng obviously didn’t care about the word “inappropriate” he said.
There is nothing inappropriate.
It’s just a role, anyone can play it.
Many people think so from the bottom of their hearts.
Including Zheng Huairen and Jiang Zixin.
It’s not that they don’t pay attention to the suitability of actors and roles, but more than that, they care more about whether the actor is well-known and can carry the drama.
After Huang Kai was appointed, because Lu Yanhe was interested in Xiao Yun for the role of Guo Furong, and Xiao Yun happened to be popular, Northern Lights readily accepted the role.
However, as for the actor for the role of Lu Xiucai, they were not willing to let He Jiang, who had just graduated from university, play the role.
“He is just a newbie with no acting experience at all.” Jiang Zixin said bluntly, “This is the biggest concern about him within our platform.”
"But he is very suitable. At least give him a chance to audition." Lu Yanhe argued rationally, "If you don't find a suitable actor to play the role of Lu Xiucai, he will easily become an unlikable chatterbox and die. Reading nerd."
Jiang Zixin said: "Yan He, let me be honest, if you want He Jiang to play Lu Xiucai, there will be a lot of work to do later."
“No matter how much work there is to do, how about at least holding an audition? Actors ultimately have to rely on their ability to speak for themselves.”
"You have to know that it is impossible to find stars to play the two roles of Li Dazui and Mo Xiaobei. There are no well-known actors suitable for their two roles." Jiang Zixin said, "In this case, if you let a just If a college graduate plays such a key role as Lu Xiucai, even if his acting skills are superb, it will be difficult to convince our senior management."
“Then tell me which of your top executives needs persuasion, and I’ll do it.” Lu Yanhe said, “I have met He Jiang several times, and every time I meet him, I feel more and more that he is suitable for the role of Lu Xiucai.”
Jiang Zixin didn’t expect Lu Yanhe to be so stubborn.
"What about the role of Shopkeeper Tong?" Jiang Zixin asked, "You said Zhen Hongyu was inappropriate before, but in ancient times, it was very common for a widow who lost her father to be only in her early twenties. It's really not an inappropriate reason, right? "
Lu Yanhe said: "The key is not age, but the sense of age. She has a teenage sister-in-law, and she must have the characteristics of both resentment and joy. She must have the charm of a young woman and be able to fend off people who come and go. Zhen Hong She looks like a recent graduate. Do you think her image and temperament are appropriate?"
Jiang Zixin: “Then who do you think is suitable?”
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I don't think anyone is suitable for the moment."
"Let's do it this way. Let's take out all these characters and hold an audition." Jiang Zixin said, "As long as the characters are not confirmed yet, they can be auditioned. We can also promote "Wulin Gaiden" in advance. 》.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
“One more thing, Captain Xing is played by Mr. Jiang Jun, but we all heard that his health is not very good. What if he gets sick and ends up in the hospital in the middle of filming—”
Lu Yanhe said: "First, Teacher Jiang Jun's health has already recovered, and the hospital said he is fine. Second, if something really goes wrong, I am also on the crew, and I can adjust the script at any time."
Hearing this, Jiang Zixin nodded, "Then I'll go and communicate with the boss."
-
Probably because he kept communicating with different people during this period, Lu Yanhe himself realized that his speech had become a bit "aggressive" and even "categorical" and "exactly what he said".
But otherwise, it seems difficult to stick to his idea.
In the matter of content creation, not being firm and decisive means that you will be pushed by the opinions of others.
If it weren't for not doing this, it would be difficult to stick to his idea, and he didn't want to be like this.
“Then have you ever considered that not all of your ideas may be right?”
"I know, of course, I also know that my thoughts may not all be right." Lu Yanhe nodded and admitted, "But since I expressed my thoughts at that time and you didn't convince me, why don't you believe me? But I turned my head and believed in you?"
Li Zhibai, who was stared at by Lu Yanhe, immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"you're right."
Lu Yanhe's unswerving expression one second seemed to be deflated the next second.
“Why do I feel like I have contracted Zhou Pingan’s self-righteous bad habits?”
"How normal is this? In this world, you think you are right, I think I am right. No one can convince anyone until the results come out. After ten or twenty years, the results will be told to you. I wonder who is right?" Li Zhibai said, "Didn't Zhou Ping'an categorically believe that the way he handles artists is the right one? Any other managers who are different from him are wrong and are idiots. ?"
Lu Yanhe: “But by the time the results come out, won’t it be too late for many things to be corrected?”
Li Zhibai nodded.
“We can only persevere with the belief that we are the one who wins in the end.”
"As for whether you can win in the end, as you said, you can only stick to what you think is right and move forward. If you don't get to the end, you won't know."
Lu Yanhe picked up the cup, took a sip of wine, lowered his head and smiled.
Li Zhibai stood up and slapped Lu Yanhe on the head.
“I think about so many things at a young age and I’m not afraid of losing my hair.”
"Ah."
“I’ll get some shredded squid, do you want anything else?”
“Bava beans, thank you.”
“Where are the broad beans?”
“Yan Liang bought it and put it in the small drawer on the second level on the right side of the refrigerator.”
Lu Yanhe lay down directly on the floor, looked at the dazzling chandelier light, thought, thought again, and then sighed to himself.
Why do you want to do so much? You are not afraid of losing your hair.
