Lu Yanhe had never expected that Jiang Yuqian would suddenly say these words to him.
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "Sister Yuqian, I don't think you don't have award-winning acting skills, but maybe because you want to win an award so much, you can't help but have this obsession when acting."
Jiang Yuqian looked at Lu Yanhe with a rather strange expression.
Lu Yanhe thought that what he said was abrupt, so he apologized immediately and said, "Sister Yuqian, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."
"No, you're right." Jiang Yuqian said, "It's just that I didn't expect that you would say this to me. I only realized this when I was filming "Squid Game". Since "The Golden Age", my acting state has not been right. I have been trying my best to act in every scene. Maybe it was because Director Luo helped me adjust "The Golden Age", so the final result was not bad. But I continued to act like this, especially the feedback from "The Golden Age" was very good, which made me more confident to act like this, but it was not satisfactory. I don't know what the problem is."
"During the time I was filming Squid Game, I realized that I was acting in a drama that I really liked and a role that really touched me, especially when I knew that this role basically had no chance of winning any awards, so I didn't act in this drama with the mentality of winning an award. When I was filming the first two dramas, my state of mind was not right."
Jiang Yuqian said this very sincerely.
Lu Yanhe could tell that this was Jiang Yuqian's true words.
"So, I thought about it and decided that I would rather maintain this state than win an award. At least when I was filming this drama, I could regain my confidence as an actor. After I finish a scene, I don't have to ask others how I performed."
Lu Yanhe nodded, feeling sincerely happy for Jiang Yuqian.
Jiang Yuqian smiled. In the sunlight, her face had not changed at all from when Lu Yanhe first saw her a few years ago. However, people who knew Jiang Yuqian well knew that it took her a long way to regain this relieved, relaxed smile.

“Lost on Journey” is going to be released in the summer.”
Before leaving for the Jose-Hi Film Festival, Jia Long suddenly contacted Lu Yanhe and told him the news.
"Summer season? I thought this movie was going to be shown during the Spring Festival. Isn't the Spring Festival more suitable for this movie?"
"It can't be shown." Jia Long was also a little depressed and annoyed. "The producer of this movie, Yannian Films, told me very clearly that their publicity and promotion resources for next year's Spring Festival will be reserved for the sequel to the previous year's box office champion, The Beatles Project."
"'The Beetle Project' is the action movie starring Cheng Shiyan, right?" Lu Yanhe knew this movie. It had grossed 42 billion yuan at the box office and was the box office champion of the year.
Generally speaking, the Spring Festival period can only accommodate six to seven films that can be effectively scheduled. As the highest-grossing period of the year, this period is a battleground for major film companies, which also means that generally a film company can only submit one main film to enter this period, and it is rare for a company to submit two at the same time.
From an objective point of view, Lu Yanhe can actually understand why Yannian Films gave up "Lost on Journey" and chose the sequel to "The Beatles Project" to be released during the Spring Festival.
He sighed, "Then we can only put it in the summer season. If we don't put it in this season, we can only move it to a later time."
Jia Long also sighed and said, "Yes, it was agreed that this movie would be released during the Spring Festival, and Yannian Films also agreed to it, but now they regret it because of the sequel to The Beetle Project."
Lu Yanhe knew that Jia Long must be very angry now.
Speaking of which, Jia Long is also one of the most box office-capable movie stars in China today.
However, Yannian Films chose Cheng Shiyan's sequel to "The Beatles Project" without hesitation, obviously believing that the movie "Lost on Journey" could not compare with "The Beatles Project".
Of course, in reality, these two films are not even of the same caliber.
With a previous film that grossed $4 billion, any film company would choose the sequel to this box office hit without hesitation.
Lu Yanhe and Jia Long could only consider themselves unlucky.
"Rouge won't be released during the summer, right?" Jia Long suddenly asked Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "There is no release date yet, but Rouge and Lost on Journey are completely different in style. Are you still worried about the two movies colliding?"
"You are the screenwriter of both films, and your fans are the audience we all need very much." Jia Long said helplessly, "We certainly don't want to collide with each other, it's best to avoid each other."
Lu Yanhe said, "I'll go tell Director Wang to try not to collide with other cars."
"Okay." Jia Long finished his business and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"This Saturday is the premiere of Rouge, and I'm leaving the day after tomorrow," Lu Yanhe said. "I really can't make it to the screening of Lost on Journey, so I can't attend. Sorry."
Jia Long said: "You must not miss the domestic premiere."
"Yes, I will definitely not be absent." Lu Yanhe said.
After talking with Jia Long, Lu Yanhe hung up the phone.
He stretched himself and suddenly heard Wang Biao exclaim in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Wang Biao said: "The movie 'Nineteen Years of Crime Records' was suddenly announced to be released this Friday."
This news shocked Lu Yanhe.
It has been a long time since I heard about this movie. At that time, the outrageous operation of this movie made Liu Jiazhen very angry and wanted to withdraw the authorization. Of course, it was impossible, so Liu Jiazhen had to give up. However, after that, Liu Jiazhen completely cut off this movie from himself and never mentioned it again.
Even Ruyi Pictures didn't want to continue with this movie for a while.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that it would suddenly drop from the sky.
Generally speaking, a movie will always leave some time for itself to promote itself.
In this day and age, if a movie is not promoted well, it will die faster than any other.
The film version of "Nineteen Years of Crime" is starred by Chen Jiping and Chen Ziliang.
Both of them are well-known actors. Such a movie is destined not to be released quietly. They forwarded the news of the movie's release and the trailer as soon as possible.
Lu Yanhe also watched the trailer as soon as possible. To be honest, judging from the content of the trailer, it is quite attractive.
Chen Jiping's acting is also very good, and many of his shots are shocking.
Chen Ziliang also has some very good scenes. It can be seen that his acting skills are indeed carefully honed.
However, because he knew in advance that the movie was going to be a failure, Lu Yanhe could almost imagine how the audience would curse the movie after they walked out of the cinema.
-
The movie has been scheduled for release, but Liu Jiazhen, the author of the original novel, has not made any move.
Many people did not know the inside story and thought that Liu Jiazhen was unaware of the movie’s release, so they went to Liu Jiazhen’s comment section to remind him.
In particular, many readers of Liujia Town are looking forward to the film adaptation.
Almost all readers of Liujiazhen know that he became famous with the book "Nineteen Years of Crime Records". It is a model of becoming famous with one book. Now that this book has been successfully adapted into a movie and is about to be released, many people are naturally looking forward to it.
Liu Jiazhen wanted to say, "The movie adaptation has changed a lot, it's just a random change," but the agreement he signed with Ruyi Films also required him not to make any negative comments about the movie adaptation. Liu Jiazhen could only endure it, feeling very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
Lu Yanhe comforted him on the phone and said, "The copyright of the series has been transferred to us. Li Zhibai is already looking for a screenwriter to adapt it. Let's not worry about the movie, let's just focus on the series."
"Yan He, thank you very much."
Liu Jiazhen knew that Lu Yanhe actually didn't need to help him buy back the copyright of the plot. When Ruyi Films bought the copyright of the film and television, Liu Jiazhen had actually received the copyright fee.
He was neither cheated nor deceived. After discussing his experiences with his peers, he found that they were not isolated cases. Everyone had basically experienced similar things. In the face of such things, there was actually nothing they could do. They could only regard it as a loss, like stepping on a pile of shit on the road, and just consider it bad luck.
However, in this situation, Lu Yanhe did what he said and really helped him buy back the copyright of the series "Nineteen Years of Crime Records".
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "However, even if we buy it back, we may not be able to do this drama well. Good intentions may not always lead to good results. Don't have too high expectations of us."
Liu Jiazhen laughed.
"I'm very grateful that you're willing to give this story a second chance," he said. "I can almost imagine that my book may be greatly affected after the movie is released."
"Have you seen the final edited version of the movie?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"They wanted me to come and see them, and they contacted me, but I didn't reply to them." Liu Jiazhen said angrily, "I don't want to cooperate with Ruyi Pictures anymore."
Lu Yanhe: "Okay."
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that Ruyi Pictures actually contacted him and wanted him to help promote the movie.
"It was because of your recommendation that this original novel became known to so many people."
Generally speaking, forwarding it, helping to promote it, or saying hello will all help.
However, Lu Yanhe refused this time.
"Sorry, Mr. Liu Jiazhen and I are friends, and he is not satisfied with this film adaptation collaboration, so I will not forward it this time."
The other party didn't seem to expect that Lu Yanhe would refuse so bluntly.
-
Lu Yanhe rejected them, packed his luggage, and set off for the Jose-La-Hispanic Film Festival.
Lu Yanhe has also been to many film festivals.
However, the Jose-La-Señora Film Festival was the most lively and crowded film festival Lu Yanhe had ever seen.
In Ho Chi Minh, movie posters are hung in almost every corner of the city. Stars from classic movies and TV series, current popular movie stars and other posters can be seen everywhere.
Lu Yanhe even saw the posters of "Late Spring" and "Three Mountains".
Jiang Zixin from Northern Lights Video brought people to pick him up.
Northern Lights Video also invested in the movie "Rouge".
Zheng Huairen brought Jiang Zixin here together.
This time, they came here, on the one hand, with a lot of online movie libraries of Northern Lights Video to see if they could find some buyers here, and on the other hand, to see if there are any good movies that can buy the broadcasting rights in mainland China and be broadcasted exclusively on Northern Lights Video.
They arrived four or five days in advance.
Jiang Zixin was in high spirits. At first, Lu Yanhe didn't know why, but soon after getting in the car, Jiang Zixin told him the answer himself.
"Five of our self-made films were favored by foreign film producers, who purchased the overseas distribution rights," Jiang Zixin said. "It was a complete surprise."
In China, online movies are generally considered to be shoddy and low-quality. In fact, this impression is due to the fact that the overall quality is not very high. However, in recent years, there have been several very ingenious works in online movies.
Northern Lights Video has been investing money to make its own online movies. The investment is not large. For many online movies, the production cost of a film is generally several million, and some can even be made with hundreds of thousands. Due to funding constraints, the production of many movies is indeed not very sophisticated. But even so, talented people who can make movies can still stand out from these movies. Several contracted directors of Northern Lights Video were discovered from online movies, and later became directors of their own dramas. Some directors also set up studios, signed contracts with Northern Lights, and filmed one after another.
The only profit channel for these online movies is video on demand. The current box office ceiling for online movies is around 50 million. This means that many online movies are still difficult to make a profit. Jiang Zixin was excited because they found that there are actually people willing to spend money to buy the copyrights of these online movies abroad. This means that there are actually many online movies that can make further profits through this channel.
Lu Yanhe remembered Chen Siqi’s “power accumulation plan”.
I don’t know how many people will sign up after this “power accumulation plan” is launched.
Jiang Zixin told Lu Yanhe: "The market for Rouge is also very good. After we came here, more than a dozen film producers came to inquire about it. Everyone is very interested in this movie."
Lu Yanhe said: "Director Wang Zhong is still influential in the international film industry, and his films have always had stable distributors in various regions. Most of the film distributors who came to inquire this time are probably old friends of Director Wang who have worked with him for a long time."
Jiang Zixin shook his head and said, "The director said that he had never worked with most of them before, and he was also surprised why so many film producers came to inquire about the price."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised at this time.
Logically speaking, Wang Zhong's films have a fixed audience and are not commercial films, so how come so many film producers are interested in them all of a sudden? A Best Director Award at the West Tull Film Festival would not make him so popular commercially all of a sudden.
-
When Lu Yanhe got off the car, there were many media reporters at the hotel entrance, including many Chinese reporters.
The sound of shutter clicks rang out instantly and became one.
Many people shouted his name. Many foreign journalists also knew him and shouted his name in broken Chinese.
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect the most was that some foreign fans were holding posters of him or the movies he starred in, and wanted to ask him for an autograph.
Lu Yanhe quickly signed a few autographs for them to express his gratitude, and waved to the photographers who were filming him with their cameras before walking into the hotel.
During the whole process, Jiang Zixin stood aside and watched the scene with some surprise.
-
Jiang Zixin doesn't have many opportunities to attend film festivals overseas, but he has been there a few times.
Every time I come here with a different crew, no matter how popular an actor is in China, when he goes abroad, he is basically just an ordinary artist. Many stars who promote themselves as international movie stars in China and are also very popular overseas, in fact, few people really know them.
Jiang Zixin had never seen Lu Yanhe promote his popularity overseas. He had only heard that Friends and The Seventeenth Floor were quite popular on Maxine, and that Three Mountains and Late Spring received good feedback at film festivals. But Jiang Zixin had never thought that so many people would know Lu Yanhe at the Jose-La-Señora Film Festival.
The media reporters from various countries definitely cannot be hired as agents - Jiang Zixin also knows that some stars will hire agents to create hype. They are all people who often go to film festivals around the world. In addition to the four major international film festivals, there are other film festivals around the world. These media reporters are actually the ones who understand the changes in the world film industry the best.
Jiang Zixin was quite surprised.
She was also somewhat confused as to why she had never seen Lu Yanhe and his team promote his popularity and influence overseas when he was in China.
If it were any other artist, press releases would have been flying everywhere.
However, of course, with Lu Yanhe's current momentum in China, there is no need to promote this anymore. He is already the best in his age group, and no one can match him.
-
Lu Yanhe took a short rest in the room, and Linyu came over.
She knocked on the door and said to Lu Yanhe, "Yanhe, shall we set out in half an hour?"
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I can just change my clothes. Should we go there early?"
Lin Yu said, "It's enough to set off in half an hour. It's still early. You just arrived at the hotel, so take a rest."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Lin Yu handed him another bound A4 paper.
"Take a look at Evan Gardi's information first."
Lu Yanhe took it and said okay.
Evan Gardi is the executive editor of "Hossi Films" and a critic with considerable influence in the film industry. Lin Yu got in touch with Evan Gardi after meeting him through Tom Wynn, a film critic for American "Variety".
When Lu Yanhe came this time, Linyu took the initiative to ask Evan Gardi that she wanted to visit the "Joseph Film" magazine.
Evan Gardi agreed readily.
"Joseph Films" is one of the most influential film media in the world.
The top ten films selected by it every year are of high quality. The films that make the list may not be shown in theaters in various countries, but they will definitely be targeted by film producers in various countries and will not have to worry about sales. Online screenings and DVD sales will all see a wave of growth.
It can be said that this is a person who truly has a substantial influence on the film industry.
Lu Yanhe had never expected that Linyu could actually know such a person and act as a matchmaker for him to meet him.
Lin Yu said: "I translated two film reviews I wrote into English for him to read. He published one of them in the January issue of this year and the other on the official website of Jose Cinema. He also told me that he is actually very interested in Chinese films, and if I have any good review articles, I can send them to them."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.
-
Unlike what Lu Yanhe imagined, the "Joseph Cinema" magazine was not located in a high-end, modern office building, but in a three-story stand-alone small house. Probably because the film festival was being held, many fans came to take photos and check in at the door of the "Joseph Cinema" magazine.
The security guards guarded the door and did not allow any unauthorized persons to enter.
When Lu Yanhe, Lin Yu and their group arrived at the door, a woman with long brown hair waved to them.
It was someone who came specifically to pick them up.
Among the fans gathered at the door, someone recognized Lu Yanhe and called out to him excitedly.
Lu Yanhe smiled and greeted the person who called out his name.
The person who came to pick them up looked at him in surprise.
After entering, I found that this small house also has a yard with a garden-like design. Some people were sitting on chairs reading books, and some were typing on laptops. They must be people working at the "Joseph Film" magazine.
"It's so beautiful here." Lin Yu smiled and said to the person who came to pick them up, "It must be a pleasure to work here."
The other party immediately replied: "Believe me, dear, although I love my job very much, when it's time to go crazy, no matter how good the environment is, it can't stop you from going crazy."
Lu Yanhe and Lin Yu both laughed when they heard this.
Evan Gardi came downstairs to meet them personally.
"Hi, Lin, Yan He~" Evan Gardi happily hugged them both warmly, "I've been waiting for you guys, you're finally here. Are you used to the weather here? Is it hotter than in China now?"
Lin Yu nodded and said with a smile, "It is indeed a bit hotter. We were sweating profusely soon after we got off the plane. The first thing we did was to go back to the hotel and change clothes."
She introduced him to Evan Gardi and said, "Yan He just got off the plane and went back to the hotel to change his clothes, and then we came here. I have been reading the magazine "Joseph Films" for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to come here and see how this legendary magazine was made. I am so excited."
Evan Gardi looked at Lu Yanhe with a smile on his face.
"I'm glad you guys can come and visit us," Evan Gardi said. "I know Yan He is one of the most influential actors in China now, and he's also the founder of Jump Up magazine."
Linyu nodded and said yes.
Lu Yanhe told Evan Gardi: "I also often read the magazine "Joseph Film". Although our "Jump Up" is a literary magazine and not a journal specializing in film-related content, we also have sections with related content, and many readers are very interested. Linyu often sends me some well-written film reviews. As an actor and a screenwriter, good film reviews can really bring me a lot of inspiration."
Evan Gardi laughed and said, “I thought you film people didn’t like us critics.”
"No, for me, I just don't like those film critics who are biased and write reviews from the perspective of personal grudges rather than the aesthetics of the film." Lu Yanhe said, "In fact, many creators I know, including Wang Zhong, the director of "Three Mountains", and Liu Bige, the director of "Late Spring", have the habit of reading film reviews, not only their own reviews, but also those of others. I also think that a good review looks at the film from another perspective and dimension, which will not only help us examine our own creations from the perspective of others, but sometimes it can also give us new thinking and stimulate our creations."
The smile on Evan Gardi's face became a little warmer.
He said, "I saw a news report saying that you have a movie that you will write, direct and star in?"
"Yes, we plan to shoot it in two phases, summer and winter." Lu Yanhe said to Evan as Evan led them inside and walked to the door of his office.
Because he was actively visiting someone, Lu Yanhe did not bring Wang Biao with him, but only Zou Dong. Zou Dong did not enter the office, but stood at the door. Many people looked at him with curiosity and doubt, probably wanting to know who the guest who came to visit their executive editor today was.
Zou Dong stood at the door expressionlessly. At this time, someone came over and asked him to sit on the sofa next to the reception area for a while. The person spoke in English, and Zou Dong didn't quite understand. But when the person gestured with his hands and pointed at the sofa in the reception area, he understood what he meant.
This is the working area, and you can also see the situation at the door of the editor-in-chief's office from the reception sofa.
He felt that it would be weird for others to look at him if he kept standing there, so he just sat down as the others advised.
At this time, a black-haired girl came over.
"Hi, you are Chinese, right?" The girl was of Asian appearance.
Zou Dong nodded and asked, "Are you Chinese?"
“Oh, I’m not, I’m Korean,” the girl said, “but I studied in China, so I know Chinese.”
Zou Dong: "Hello."
"Are you someone close to Lu Yanhe?" the girl asked.
"Yes, he is my boss." Zou Dong nodded.
"I'm interning at the magazine 'Ho-Si Cinema' now." The girl said with a smile, "I was surprised to see you guys come in just now. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Zou Dong nodded and looked at her with some confusion.
He didn't quite understand why the girl told him this.
The girl smiled at him and said, "I'm an Asian and feel really lonely here. Are you free tonight? Can we go out for a drink together?"
Zou Dong was a little stunned, then suddenly realized what was happening.
This girl is actually dating him?
Since his divorce, Zou Dong has never considered starting a new relationship. Perhaps because of his personality, he is generally cold and taciturn. Although he has met women who have expressed their thoughts implicitly, no one has ever taken the initiative to ask him out like the girl in front of him.
The girl in front of me really looked like a college graduate. Although she put on a professional makeup, her youthfulness just out of college could not be concealed by any mature makeup.
Zou Dong said: "Sorry, I have work that doesn't allow me to come out alone."
He rejected her.
-
"This time, both of the films you wrote will be screened at the Jose-La Isla Film Festival. It's amazing that you achieved such success in your first time as a screenwriter."
El Gardi said to Lu Yanhe, "Besides, I heard that Rouge was filmed very well."
"Oh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
El Gardi said: "I met with Wu Yang, the artistic director of the Jose-Jacques Film Festival, two days ago. I asked him if there was any work in the main competition unit that was particularly worthy of attention. He told me that Rouge from China would definitely be a work that would attract much attention and discussion."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized and was a little surprised, "I didn't know he had such a high opinion of our movie."
Evan Gardi said: "But we are all confused, why don't you act in the script you wrote yourself?"
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "There are various considerations, but the most important reason is that I don't think I'm suitable for that role."
Evan Gardi said: "It's rare for an actor to realize that he is not suitable for a role, especially someone like you who was hailed as a genius at a very young age."
Lu Yanhe: "Because I know I'm not a true genius."
"You are too modest." Evan Gardi smiled and said, "It's a pity that you will only stay for two days this time. You will leave the day after tomorrow."
Lu Yanhe: "I still have some things to do when I get back. I also hope that next time I come here, I will have more time so that I can watch more movies at the film festival."
Evan Gardi nodded.
Before leaving, they took a photo together on the small balcony outside Evan Gardi's office.
Evan Gardi said: "I am looking forward to the premiere of Rouge tomorrow. I will also go to watch the movie in person."
Lu Yanhe: "Then I look forward to your arrival."
-
This time, it's really just a simple visit.
Of course, the content of this visit was relatively simple, but the purpose was not simple.
Lu Yanhe and Linyu came here to establish contact and then gradually strengthen communication and exchanges.
Anyone who knows a little bit about the film industry knows how important the voice of critics is. Is box office important? 100% important. No film company would think that awards are more important than box office. However, for any filmmaker, if their career is extended to ten or twenty years, especially to say whether an actor has reached the top position, it is definitely not measured by box office.
Don't judge right or wrong, just look at the objective facts. How many of the famous legendary movie stars in film history have made their reputations through box office success? And the reason they were able to achieve their status in film history is precisely because of the voices and evaluations of others, especially the evaluations of the critics.
Therefore, if Lu Yanhe wants to follow the path of a legendary filmmaker, he cannot avoid dealing with these people in the critic circle, and he even has to establish good relationships with them.
Lu Yanhe was personally escorted to the door by Evan Gardi.
This scene was also seen by many fans who were taking photos and checking in at the entrance of the "Joseph Film" magazine.
For those veteran movie fans, they may not know Lu Yanhe, but they definitely know Evan Gardi. Therefore, this scene really surprised them, and they were curious about who this person sent out by Evan Gardi himself was.
Those who knew Lu Yanhe were also excited at this moment.
Look, Lu Yanhe was personally escorted to the door by Evan Gardi! -
Chen Ziyan did not do any marketing promotion, but this photo went viral in the domestic film industry.
Last time, Lu Yanhe invited Tom White, the head of HP Asia Pacific, to China through personal connections, and Maxine held two fan meetings in South Korea and Japan, which showed everyone Lu Yanhe's overseas connections and power. This time, Lu Yanhe was photographed having such a good personal relationship with the executive editor of "Joseph Cinema" magazine. When he went to Joseph, he was able to visit the "Joseph Cinema" magazine office and was personally received by Evan Gardi.
Not to mention the online forum of top international film critics that was held by "Jump Up" in order to slap the face of Japanese film critic Nagayama Kozo.
Many people have a question in their minds: How did Lu Yanhe get to know these big shots?
No matter how popular Lu Yanhe is in China, it's impossible for so many people to make friends with him, right?
There are filmmakers in China who have won international awards before, and there are also filmmakers who have been successful in Europe and the United States for a period of time. However, even they do not seem to be able to make friends and interact with so many people like Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe saw that an entry about himself had become a hot search, the content was: How did Lu Yanhe build up his network of contacts?
He smiled.
His network of contacts was not built solely by himself.
In the film review circle, Lin Yu quietly made friends with a large group of people and became a member of their circle. At the same time, because of the support of "Jump Up" and Lu Yanhe, people not only recognized her as a person, but were also willing to give her a little more face on this basis, which created the illusion that "Lu Yanhe's network of contacts is terrifying."
Well, Lu Yanhe’s evaluation of his trending search is that it’s actually all an illusion.
What kind of personal relationship? It’s not that deep. This is just the first time we met today.
-
But others don't care.
After Lu Yanhe returned to the hotel, he met up with Jiang Zixin and the others and had dinner together.
The way Jiang Zixin and Zheng Huairen looked at Lu Yanhe changed.
They may not be able to call the shots in China, but at least they can have a say whenever they want to do something. But when they go abroad, no one cares who you are.
However, in this kind of "true face revealed" environment, Lu Yanhe was actually "building a golden body", so how could they not change their mentality when facing Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe and his friends had dinner with the crew of Rouge.
During the dinner, Shang Yongzhou, who served as the image ambassador of this session, also came.
The atmosphere was lively for a while.
Some guests who were dining in the same restaurant cheered in surprise when they saw so many of them, especially when they saw Lu Yanhe and his friends.
Especially Shang Yongzhou.
His visit to the Jose-La-Jacques Film Festival this time made almost everyone who attended the festival familiar with his face.
After all, he is an ambassador. His image and the posters of this film festival are posted in every corner of the city. Not only that, he also frequently appears in official reports.
People in the restaurant heard people around them say, "He is Wang Zhong, the director of the movie "Three Mountains"" or "He is Shang Yongzhou, don't you know? He is the image ambassador of this year's Holland Film Festival" or "Chen Bige! I love her "Pirates of the Sin" series!" or "Is that Lu Yanhe?"...
All of a sudden, many people came forward to take photos with them or ask for their autographs.
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
"Oh, do you really know me?" Lu Yanhe couldn't help but ask the foreigner who came to him to take a photo. Looking at the mobile phone that the other person had raised high, he asked.
People say: "Of course I know you, I'm a big fan of yours, I love your Friends so much, I've watched it three times!"
Lu Yanhe was shocked.
Such conversations and similar confessions of "I really like your XXX" also appeared on Wang Zhong's side.
Zheng Huairen took out his mobile phone and recorded the scene immediately, which was about 30 seconds long.
Jiang Zixin said: "I really didn't expect that we would meet so many foreign fans at the Rouge dinner party here. Really, every day in China, we see people bragging that they are international superstars and have international influence. What is real influence? Look at this scene."
Zheng Huairen smiled knowingly, then sent the video he shot to people in the company.
An hour later, with the help of Aurora Borealis, this video became one of the top three hot searches.
The hot search terms are: The crew of "Rouge" was warmly welcomed by foreign fans at the Jose-La Film Festival.
Click on it and you’ll see this video.
The video was posted by a very ordinary account. The poster claimed to be a fan who came to the Jose Film Festival to watch a movie. He was having dinner with friends in a restaurant in the evening. Unexpectedly, he came across this scene. Then, he saw the video shot by Zheng Huairen.
Jiang Zixin's words were also recorded, transcribed into text, and released in the form of subtitles.
Just as Zheng Huairen expected, such videos are always likely to attract attention and heated discussions on online platforms.
Every country and every nation ardently hopes to see people, things and events in their country recognized and admired abroad. This is the most simple emotion of every human being. While Chinese-language films are indeed at a disadvantage, it is certainly exciting that a few people can be recognized by so many foreign fans at international film festivals, and asked for photos and autographs.
Zheng Huairen accurately targeted the public's psychology and allowed "Rouge" to receive large-scale publicity and promotion.
This is also to create an impression in everyone's mind that this is a crew composed of top domestic filmmakers, and this is a film that represents China and is sought after at overseas film festivals - in fact, this has nothing to do with the movie "Rouge", and the movie has not yet been released in Jose.
It's just publicity, who cares so much about you?
The data of "Rouge" on various platforms has soared.
But at this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly popped up: Huang Kairen is standing next to him, and no one knows who he is, doesn't he feel embarrassed?
This kind of speech, which is obviously intended to smear others for the sake of smearing others, is still very popular and has been liked and commented on by many people.
Some people even said: "Isn't it normal that he is a TV star and is not known by overseas audiences?" I felt from the beginning that he should not appear in the crew of "Rouge Button". I still don't understand why Lu Yanhe didn't play this role himself?
This comment actually received a lot of likes.
Huang Kairen's fans were of course furious, with some expressing outrage:
——Are you sure about this? It was because Lu Yanhe didn't want to play the role that you asked our Huang Kairen to play it. It wasn't like Huang Kairen begged to play the role. We already said from the beginning that there was a problem with this character setting, so why did we want Huang Kairen to play the role?
——Are TV stars so low-class? Are movie stars so noble? Then why is Lu Yanhe still acting in TV dramas? Just let him act in movies!
