Many movies are re-edited, but it is rare for TV series to be re-edited.
Re-editing the series is a lot of work and it is also an additional investment.
However, Lu Yanhe's words made Li Zhibai somewhat moved.
Although hesitant, I am moved.
Li Zhibai didn't want to prove anything, just to prove that the drama was actually well made, or that he had a good eye and didn't make a mistake in choosing the right person.
He simply wanted to know. After going through 81 difficulties and overcoming every one of them, with good results in the process, why did things go against his wishes when he reached the final destination?
Lu Yanhe added: "Anyway, I suggest you talk to the editor and Liu Manbo to see where the problem lies. There are no useless shots. Aside from the fact that the performances of a few actors were really bad and people complained about them, I think the most serious problem is that I can't stand watching it. It's not attractive."
Yan Liang also said: "I have read the novel and watched the terrible movie adaptation, so I know what the plot will be like, but watching this drama, I feel that it is a bit of a roundabout way."
Li Zhibai nodded.
However, before he could find the editor to talk to him, Lin Suyang arrived with the news.
"This matter, ah——"
Lin Suyang sighed when they met.
"What's wrong? Brother Yang?"
"I had a chat with Lao Xie."
Lao Xie is the editor of this drama, Xie Yun.
"How did he say?"
"He said the blame was on him, but he didn't shirk responsibility," Lin Suyang said. "But I asked him, he is also a senior editor, why did he edit the show like this? He said that it was because Liu Manbo wanted this style, Liu Manbo hoped that every shot was good, which actually focused on the picture rather than the story rhythm. I asked him why he didn't tell Liu Manbo when he saw the problem, and he said that it was because Liu Manbo was not liked by the people at Dengta Video before, but you, as a producer, supported Liu Manbo, so he didn't want to go against Liu Manbo."
Li Zhibai seemed to have been hit hard.
Lin Suyang: "I can only say that this incident itself had many unexpected factors. When Lighthouse Video was reviewing the film, they didn't think there were any major problems with the show. In addition, there was a conflict with you before, so when the film came to you, there was basically no room for adjustment. Because of your previous support for Liu Manbo, many people misunderstood it. Even if they saw some problems in the film, no one was willing to be the first to stand up and say it."
Li Zhibai: "There is still my problem."
"You are the producer, and so am I. If this drama is not done well, we must both have faults." Lin Suyang said, "I should have thought of this in advance. Since we have implicitly given Liu Manbo such great directorial power, we should still follow up more after the filming is completed."
"The shooting went so smoothly, I didn't expect Liu Manbo to have such problems in the later stage."
"Well, this is all our fault. It's okay. We learn from our mistakes and know where the problem is. We can improve it next time." Lin Suyang said, "You said you wanted to re-edit the show. You need to communicate with Lighthouse Video about this. After all, they invested in the show and they own the copyright. From what I know about them, they may not agree to it."
"Let's communicate first." Li Zhibai said, "Some of them sent me messages two days ago, mocking me."
"What are you mocking?"
"Taunting me for insisting on using Liu Manbo."
"They didn't ridicule you for not being able to carry the show." Lin Suyang sneered, "They also know that even though the show has received a lot of criticism, it hasn't affected its popularity at all. There are still a lot of people watching it. Several of the brands you endorse have added ads for it. Why are they pretending to be victims? This show has been making money for them since it started attracting investors. The controversial reputation also falls on you, the main creators, and they are not affected. Which idiot sent you this message? Take a screenshot and send it to me. I'm going to ask the boss of Dengta Video. Since when did an actor who can bring them so much commercial returns be ridiculed by their people in private? What the hell!"
Li Zhibai didn't hesitate at all. He took a screenshot and sent it to Lin Suyang.
Lin Suyang: "Regarding the controversy surrounding this drama, I will respond on your behalf, seriously accept everyone's criticism, and absorb all opinions."
Li Zhibai nodded.
"Shouldn't I respond myself?"
"No need." Lin Suyang said, "What we need to do now is to strengthen your attributes as an actor, not as a producer. The purpose of responding is to show an attitude. Besides, although there are some criticisms of your performance in this drama, it is generally good. Many people's comments are still very pertinent. The points that you have been criticized the most are that when you were acting with Teacher Jiang Jun, you were somewhat led by him and lost your own rhythm, so your performance was unbalanced. I also saw them say this, and then observed the dramas you played before, and found that you are really like this. If your opponent's acting skills are not that good, you are the kind of person who can perform very well, but if your opponent's acting skills are better, you seem to be a little burdened, and you don't have the biggest advantage of acting - the sense of relaxation."
Li Zhibai: "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."
Lin Suyang: "Didn't you realize this problem before?"
"No, but when I act with Teacher Jiang Jun, I do seem to be more serious and take it more seriously."
"But the more serious you are, the better the result will be." Lin Suyang said, "I plan to find a teacher to help you analyze the problems in your performance. After the release of "Fake Death", you have been noticed by many people in the film industry. This industry is in great need of male actors like you. Many people have submitted scripts to you, although they are all similar roles."
Li Zhibai said: "I can't keep acting in this kind of romantic comedy."
"Yeah, so that's how I communicated with the people at those film companies. If they want you to play in a romantic comedy, unless the script is extremely good, they will send you a script of another theme." Lin Suyang said, "Fortunately, you are famous enough now, and the box office of "Fake Death" is also good enough, so we have full selection rights."
-
Some actors will play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and will not take a role unless they are 100% sure of it. So, every time they appear, people feel that this actor is very good at acting and is very stable.
Some actors like to break through themselves and often play different types of roles. Sometimes, it turns out to be a disaster, but sometimes, if they perform well, it can be a huge surprise. In the eyes of others, this is an actor with unstable performance.
But in fact, 99% of actors are not these two types of actors. Because there are very few actors who really have the right to choose. Many times, they can only find a choice that they are not so opposed to among some unsatisfactory choices.
Li Zhibai is a selective actor, and so is Lu Yanhe.
"How many supporting roles has Lu Yanhe played since he became famous?"
"Three Mountains, The Mist, Rainy Season, The Legend of Sword and Fairy... Actually, it seems that he doesn't have many dramas where he can carry the lead role. That being said."
In September, Lighthouse Video launched a new program called "Film and Television Round Table", where several veterans in the film and television industry sat together to talk about the film and television industry, celebrities, and all sorts of other things.
This kind of program has a very low cost and is destined not to become a large variety show with a high national popularity. However, sometimes, when the topic of discussion becomes hot, the traffic is still very gratifying.
The first person they talked about was Lu Yanhe, the most popular actor.
"Indeed, the only dramas he played a serious role in were 'Late Spring' and 'Friends', that's it," someone said.
"But he is really amazing. Every time a play comes out, everyone thinks he plays a major role in the performance of that play."
"In fact, it is true. You see, apart from The River of Silence, Zeng Qiao was the main publicity star in China at that time. In other dramas, whether it was Road to Glory or Seventeenth Floor, Lu Yanhe's role was no less important than Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bige. Let's be honest, Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bige did still have their status at that time, but their popularity was not as high as Lu Yanhe's."
"The movie itself doesn't care about the popularity of the actors. You'll be criticized for saying that. Even Lu Yanhe himself wouldn't dare to say that he can surpass Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bige."
"I didn't mean that, but that's the market situation. If you ask the market which of these three people is more popular, the answer is definitely Lu Yanhe."
"You can't look at it that way. Then who do big directors prefer to work with? Haven't you noticed that Lu Yanhe's luck with big directors is actually quite bad? He has acted in so many dramas, but he has worked with Luo Yuzhong and Chen Lingling in the TV circle. In the film circle, he has only worked with Wang Zhong, who was a minor supporting actor at the time. It was because of his collaboration with him that Liu Bige won an award and became a famous director."
"That's true. Most of Lu Yanhe's resources come from his own projects."
"So far, no big director has asked him to star in a movie."
"Why is this happening?"
-
"They're not wrong. Why don't any big directors want you to act?"
Crew, Li Zhibai asked curiously.
Lu Yanhe: "How would I know? I can't catch anyone and ask why you didn't ask me to film with you."
Yan Liang smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? Go and take a look at the films of our great film directors in recent years. There is no role suitable for Yan He. They are too embarrassed to give him a role that is too small."
Come to think of it, there are still too few films in the market with men in their twenties as the protagonists.
Basically they are youth romance movies, or some art films.
This is especially true for films directed by great directors.
The leading actors are basically actors of the same age as Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bige.
Lu Yanhe said: "Then don't you have any big directors handing you scripts?"
Li Zhibai shook his head, "No, not even one. How can people look down on us traffic stars? You can't even get it, let alone us."
Yan Liang said: "Whether it was Xingyu in the past or Woodpecker now, we are only its most profitable artists, but not the most deeply tied artists. The resources they can usually exchange for, especially this kind of resources, are unlikely to be given to us."
Lu Yanhe asked: "Who is the most popular actor in the company right now?"
"In terms of resources, Cheng Hai is one of them. After The Birth of the Actors, his popularity rose and the company exchanged two dramas and a movie for him from outside. All of them were top three starring roles. In addition to him, Chen Jing and Jiang Bai also have a lot of resources."
Li Zhi nodded and continued what Yan Liang said.
"Lin Suyang said that Chen Jing and Jiang Bai are basically given resources for one or two dramas every year by the company. They are members of the popular group MX and are the least likely to cause trouble." Li Zhibai said, "Lin Suyang told me this to point out that I am not cooperating with the company's arrangements."
"We rarely cooperate with them now. We basically don't participate in the dramas they produce or the programs they invest in." Yan Liang said, "For the company, the feedback they give us from feeding us those good resources is far less than that from others."
Lu Yanhe: "Then don't you think you are fighting alone in the company?"
"That's not the case. We still used a lot of the company's resources. It's mutually beneficial." Li Zhibai said, "Isn't it required in the contract that Yan Liang and I renewed? We have the priority to choose a play every year that the company participates in investing in. Moreover, the company also has familiar investors and business associations to follow up on the plays that Yan Liang and I are currently acting in. This is very important for how much say we have in a play."
Lu Yanhe: "But will they give the core and best resources to those artists who have signed long-term contracts with them and are bound to the company for a long time?"
"Yes." Li Zhibai nodded.
Lu Yanhe said: "They probably didn't ask you to lead the company's newcomers, right?"
"Of course I let them, but neither of us agrees." Li Zhibai said, "If they let us bring someone we know well, that's fine, but we don't know them very well and have only met a few times. Why should I pay for the favor and let them benefit? I haven't seen them use other people's resources when we were newcomers."
Lu Yanhe: "It's really ridiculous. It's OK that Yan Liang and I weren't popular at the time, but you were quite popular at the time. Why didn't they think of letting the company's popular actors take you to act in the group?"
"At that time, I didn't make much money from acting. After two or three months of acting, I could only make a few hundred thousand yuan at most. It was nothing like doing commercial performances, where I could make a minimum of 100,000 yuan per show."
"Oh, yes, I forgot that you were scheduled to do a lot of commercial performances at that time."
"However, the pay in the film and television industry is also being pushed down now." Li Zhibai said to Lu Yanhe, "This is your fault."
"Blame me?" Lu Yanhe couldn't believe it. "Why blame me?"
"Now everyone is reducing the volume of TV series, with 30 episodes at most, and most of them are only 10 or 20 episodes, but the shooting time has not been reduced at all." Li Zhibai said, "In addition, the Jumping Theater has trained more and more actors, and the platform is getting more and more strict with budgets. Unless they are top actors, the pay of other actors has been severely suppressed. Unless they are the actors who carry the drama and attract investment, their pay has been reduced by several percent."
Yan Liang: "Have you heard? Many film and television projects are cutting their budgets now. What they mean is that Jump Up Theater can shoot a mid-to-high-quality drama with such a low cost. "Love Letter" was able to collect 15 billion at the box office with a cost of tens of millions. On the contrary, many dramas have such high budgets, but all the money goes to the producers, directors and actors, and the platforms suffer huge losses. I heard that several other video websites are also going to learn from Northern Lights Video and let the producers and platforms share the risks in the future, instead of being a one-time deal like now, where the producers are guaranteed to make money regardless of the weather."
Corruption in the entertainment industry is also rampant.
In the past, a film and television project would easily cost hundreds of millions of yuan, and no one knew how much of it was actually spent on production. Looking at the accounts, a wig could cost tens of thousands of yuan, and a hat could cost thousands of yuan.
However, those were the chaos and pains that video websites had to face during their wild growth. As they have gained a firm foothold and figured out the ropes of this industry, they will naturally not let themselves be fooled again.
"Have your projects been affected?" Li Zhibai asked, "The projects behind."
"I didn't." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "I didn't want such a high production budget, but Northern Lights insisted on giving it to me because they were worried that the production budget was too small and couldn't support the stock market's expectations."
"..." Li Zhibai snorted, "The Northern Lights is also speechless."
"Compared to the stock market, the investment in one or two dramas is really nothing." Yan Liang said, "The income that a project can bring to a company now, if converted into the reaction of the stock market, is far beyond its own income. If your Linghe is listed, the income that the 15 billion box office of Love Letter brings to your company may not even be one-tenth of the stock market income brought by this box office performance itself. I heard Zhou Pingan say before that it was really a waste of the box office success of Love Letter. The income it could have brought should have been multiplied by several times."
Lu Yanhe: "These are all capital games. It seems that you can make a lot of money, but I am not short of money, and I don't understand these capital games. I don't want to take risks. Once I am trapped, will I never be able to make risky works again? I can only play it safe, otherwise it will affect the stock market. So, I thought about it and decided to forget it. To be honest, why should I make so much money? The money I make every year is enough for me to do whatever I want."
"That's right." Li Zhibai nodded. "You are amazing for being able to see this clearly. I think my family is obsessed with money, always thinking about making more money, making bigger money."
Lu Yanhe: "Different people have different personalities. Some people like to play this kind of capital game and enjoy it. So let them play their own game."
"You're overthinking it. They're not that gentlemanly. When people who play this kind of game see that you're unwilling to join the game, they'll do everything they can to get you in, because you have something they want to win." Li Zhibai said, "You better be careful. I guess Linghe has become a hot commodity in the eyes of many big investors, and they want to take a bite. Isn't there anyone who wants to acquire you?"
"There have been some, but I rejected them all," Lu Yanhe said. "I am very clear that I do not accept any investment or acquisition. Linghe itself is not a normal commercial company. It now basically relies entirely on the IP I created to operate."
"Then you and Sister Zi Yan have to be careful. No, you can't trust Sister Zi Yan too much. There are also many agents who stab artists. Oh, but Sister Zi Yan doesn't own many shares in Linghe, so it won't affect your control over Linghe." Li Zhibai said two buts in a row, and said whatever came to his mind. "What I mean is, be careful that the people in your company collude with the big capital outside who want to acquire your company. In the end, they will cheat you and let your company go into the hands of others."
Lu Yanhe: "We have always paid close attention to this aspect."
This is why Chen Ziyan arranged Xu Fanxing and Chen Qin to Linghe, to supervise and check Xu Tianming and Chen Yin. Later, why did Chen Ziyan arrange Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang to go overseas, why did she put the external copyright development and operation in the hands of Xu Tianming, and put the internal production and management in the hands of Chen Yin, and at the same time there was Hu Siwei who was dividing Chen Yin's power.
In fact, Chen Ziyan's approach is to divide the company into several lines. No one can work in one line for many years. There must be regular personnel changes to prevent any one person from infiltrating too deeply into a certain line. Xu Tianming and Chen Yin are both professional managers with limited power.
Lu Yanhe has always felt that if it weren't for Chen Ziyan, Linghe Company would not be able to succeed.
He is not cut out for it.
And Chen Ziyan...
To say that Chen Ziyan would betray him.
Lu Yanhe thought, he would never tell her, but if Chen Ziyan really betrayed him one day, there would be nothing he could do.
We can only become enemies on that day.
At this stage, Chen Ziyan has really achieved the utmost in all aspects, leaving him speechless. Her interest in picking up the fire made Lu Yanhe invest in it early on, occupying a considerable share of the shares. His film and television company gave shares to Chen Ziyan for free at that time, and Chen Ziyan only took a little in the end, which had no substantial impact on the operation of Linghe. The management rights of Linghe have always been firmly in Lu Yanhe's hands.
Not to mention, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan have too many common interests.
One film and television project after another, several companies, agency cooperation...
Needless to say, Chen Ziyan betrayed him. If he betrayed Chen Ziyan and kicked her out, Chen Ziyan would also suffer heavy losses.
And if one day he really kicked her out, Chen Ziyan would have handed the door handle to him early in the morning.
When the interests are entangled to a certain extent, the relationship between them can no longer be severed by simple betrayal.
Trust is mutual.
The harm is also mutual.
It depends on which one they choose.

"Lu Yanhe and his team have brought so many media outlets to do a year-end review. What are they trying to do? Aren't they trying to weaken our influence and replace us?"
Huang Lian was standing in front of the window of his office, calling Yu Maiqiu, the helmsman of the Red River Award.
If anyone saw him now, they would be shocked.
Because, compared with two months ago, Huang Lian now has bloodshot eyes, a flared mouth, and a red circle around his lips. From his current appearance, it is clear how hard his life has been in the past two months.
He had heard the news that many people were dissatisfied with the joke that happened at this year's Golden Tripod Awards.
Especially the bigwigs behind the Golden Tripod Awards.
Although he is the chairman of the executive committee, there are many people standing behind the entire executive committee of the Golden Tripod Award. If they are collectively dissatisfied with him, they can start a meeting at any time to replace him. If it weren't for the support of the people behind him, allowing him to sit in this position for the time being, he might have been replaced long ago.
Those people may not necessarily support Lu Yanhe or be dissatisfied with him. They are just dissatisfied with the Golden Tripod Awards for causing such a scandal, which has affected the authority and credibility of the Golden Tripod Awards.
The Golden Tripod Award has come to this point today, and it is really the result of the efforts of several generations. Many people's lifelong careers may finally be condensed in the words "Golden Tripod Award". Not to mention, many older generations have gained recognition in their careers through the Golden Tripod Award. Once the value of the Golden Tripod Award is reduced, it means that the value of their career achievements will also be weakened.
Who wants to see it?
Now, all major media outlets are busy doing year-end reviews, including reviews of the best works, directors, screenwriters and actors. It is conceivable that when the results of these reviews are released, everyone will definitely compare them with the results of the Golden Tripod Awards.
If only one or two media outlets were doing this, it would be fine, but that's not the problem.
Huang Lian was really panicked at this moment.
If the Lu Yanhe incident was just a temporary controversy that would be fine after it passed, then this time the media review could be said to have directly put all the mainstream awards, including the Golden Tripod Award, on the spot.
No one dares to say to the inventory results of dozens or hundreds of media outlets and platforms, "You are all unprofessional. We are the ones who truly award prizes based on artistic merit."
They represent the voice of the masses.
Huang Lian now wants to work with Yu Maiqiu, chairman of the executive committee of the Red River Award, to find the relevant departments above and stop such activities.
Yu Maiqiu said: "Old Huang, what reason do we have to ask the higher-ups to stop this activity?"
Yu Maiqiu was helpless.
"No, this will greatly weaken the authority and influence of our three major awards," Huang Lian said. "Just think about it, if there are dozens or hundreds of media and platforms doing an inventory, and the results are finally compiled, if a work that was not well received here is praised by them, how much public opinion will it create?"
"Then just let it happen. What are you afraid of?" Yu Maiqiu said, "Their review shows that commercial works are more dominant. We insist on our artistry, including focusing on the main theme. It is normal to have differences."
Huang Lian was furious, thinking, you guys focus on the main theme, but their Golden Tripod Award has always been under the banner of the "Audience Award."
"As for authority and influence, Lao Huang, having such an inventory event to attract audiences to participate in the discussion of film and television dramas is the only way to enhance the influence of our industry." Yu Maiqiu said, "If the results of their inventory are really quite different from the results of our awards, that's also good. Wouldn't it be better for some audiences to understand what kind of works we favor? Our awards were established to commend creators in this industry and to promote the development of this industry. In recent years, the ratings of the Red River Awards ceremony have been getting lower and lower, and the attention has also been declining. I would like to see such a comparison to attract attention."
After Yu Maiqiu finished speaking, Huang Lian was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"To be honest, why are you competing with a young man like Lu Yanhe? You always retire before him. Do you still expect to use your seniority to suppress him?" Yu Maiqiu said, "As the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Golden Tripod Awards, if you don't deal with a young man like him and make good friends with him, his plays will no longer be accepted by your Golden Tripod Awards. What do you think you will do? Is there any domestic play with a greater influence overseas than his? If such a play is no longer accepted by the Golden Tripod Awards, who will be embarrassed, him or you, the Golden Tripod Awards?"
Yu Maiqiu's words made Huang Lian almost spit out blood.
Huang Lian hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
The anger in my heart still cannot be calmed down.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The secretary walks in.
"Chairman Huang."
"You say." Huang Lian's face regained its calmness.
The secretary looked embarrassed and said, "Gu Mo, Zhang Yuan, and Liu Zhihan are here together and want to see you."
Huang Lian: "What are they here for?"
"They didn't tell me." The secretary shook his head, "But they looked like they were up to no good."
Huang Lian's face darkened and he said, "Then tell them that it's not convenient for me right now and ask them to go back first."
"They said they had an appointment with reporters to have dinner together at 6 o'clock this evening," said the secretary.
Huang Lian: “…”
Veins bulged from his forehead.
"Let them in."
Gritting teeth.
-
“We must make a ranking list, not the top ten.”
At an internal meeting, Chen Siqi spoke very clearly about the planning for the year-end inventory.
In the afternoon, there were differences of opinion on this issue.
Some people say that making a ranking list will cause a lot of controversy, and directly making the top ten will be more peaceful.
Chen Siqi said: "Peace means no discussion, and without discussion there will be no heat. Don't forget the original intention of making this ranking, which is to attract everyone's attention. Are there few articles or posts on the Internet that recommend XXX good-looking movies and TV series? Not a few. I know that there must be people who will watch them after seeing relevant recommendations, but think about it, are you more likely to watch it if you see someone say that a certain drama is good, or if you like a certain drama very much, but there are several dramas ranked higher than it on a certain ranking, and the media, magazine or person who ranked it is still a very important existence in your heart, are you more likely to watch it?"
Everyone was silent.
"As for controversy or attacks on our ranking, it's all normal," Chen Siqi said. "As long as you make something with content, there will be people who like it and people who don't. Similarly, as long as you make a list, even if you don't rank it first, second, third, or fourth, there will still be people who question why a certain work is not on it, or why you put a certain work on it when it's so bad. No matter what, we have to face doubts. We have to be upright and honest, and as for the rest, we can only let others talk."
"If we want to be a good literary magazine, we can't make the content mediocre." Chen Siqi said, "If we want to be comprehensive, we don't need to position ourselves as a literary magazine."
Lin Yu and others took the lead and nodded.
"That's right. Why do we have such high reader stickiness? Why can we transform from a fan publication into a magazine with loyal readers? And why can we still be a hot seller in this era of declining print media? It's because we can constantly bring new things to our readers, things that other online media don't have." Xu Zijun said, "This ranking is voted by our readers one by one, and it also reflects the preferences of our readers. If this ranking can really have a certain influence, then for our readers, this sense of participation is very fulfilling."
Zhou Mukai said: "Actually, I have a suggestion."
"What advice?"
"Can we invite the most popular dramas, actors, actresses, screenwriters, directors, etc. to hold an event, such as a conversation or a small awards ceremony, so that our ranking list can be more formal and valuable." Zhou Mukai said, "Or can we do something simpler, such as publishing a special issue to interview them?"
"Then it seems like we are taking advantage of others," said Lin Yu.
Zhou Mukai asked: "What if we can invite top creators like Mr. Shi Xia and Director Luo Yuzhong to be special interviewers or guests for dialogue? Or we can invite the bosses of large production companies or top film critics. In short, for such an activity, we may not be able to bring tangible benefits to others, but we will definitely bring them a kind of honor and recognition with a sense of value."
Chen Siqi nodded, "I think Zhou Mukai's proposal is worth studying. It's just like the annual group portrait of Hollywood stars on the cover of the American magazine Vanity Fair. Once a year, the stars who can appear on this cover are recognized. You are the most popular and popular star of the year. Our ranking is also like this. You are the most recognized film and television drama creator by millions of readers of our "Jump Up". We will use a top configuration to crown you. There is no bonus, no direct benefit, but this is an honor, an honor that only our "Jump Up" can give. This is not only to gild the most popular first place, but also to gild our magazine."
"Okay." Lin Yu took a deep breath. "Then this will be another big project."
"Oh my god!" Suddenly, a girl in the corner held her cell phone in surprise and shouted.
Everyone looked towards her.
She held up her phone and said, "The Golden Tripod Awards publicly apologized to Lu Yanhe. To be precise, it was Huang Lian who apologized to Lu Yanhe on behalf of the Golden Tripod Awards."
-
In the apology issued by the Golden Tripod Award, the signature was not the Golden Tripod Award, but the two words "Huang Lian".
In this apology, Huang Lian, as the chairman of the executive committee, expressed his sincere apologies for having good intentions but ended up doing something bad, which affected the reputation of the "Friends" crew, especially Lu Yanhe, because "Friends" is the most successful sitcom in recent years and he particularly wanted to give it recognition and honor at the Golden Tripod Awards.
It can be said that this apology came suddenly and inexplicably.
The Golden Tripod Awards have been presented, and when they were being ridiculed the most, they kept playing dead, with no movement or response. Now that public opinion has almost died down, they suddenly pop up.
Why?
Many people want to ask.
Shock.
doubt.
Puzzled.
Of course, what is most shocking is the act of apology itself.
It's incredible.
-
In the "Chinese Paladin" crew, Luo Yuzhong said to Lu Yanhe: "You are the first to get a sitting chairman of the executive committee to apologize to you."
Lu Yanhe: "I don't even know why."
Luo Yuzhong: "The Executive Committee is very dissatisfied with him. After more than two months, the matter has not been resolved. Instead, it has caused more and more serious impact on the Golden Tripod Awards. Others will not watch the Golden Tripod Awards continue to be caught in the whirlpool of public opinion. It took a lot of effort to build the Golden Tripod Awards to its current position in the industry. Who would be willing to watch him destroy the Golden Tripod Awards alone?"
"You're too kind, teacher. I can't destroy the Golden Tripod Award by myself."
"Once an award has a negative label, the label will grow bigger and bigger and it will become harder and harder to remove it," Luo Yuzhong said. "They chose this approach because, first, they pushed all the problems onto Huang Lian alone, and second, they attributed the incident to good intentions with bad results. In short, they want to be decent and not really be suppressing you on purpose."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "Alas, they are respectable now, and I am also being framed by them. I feel that if I don't accept the apology at this time, it will appear that I am not respectable."
"You just need a decent response, which doesn't mean a decent attitude of accepting an apology," said Luo Yuzhong.
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Luo Yuzhong said, "Didn't you win the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor before? You won it through The Golden Era. Now you are filming my drama again, and you are still playing a supporting role. Just respond to the Golden Tripod Award."
Lu Yanhe understood what Luo Yuzhong meant.
"Of course, it's up to you whether you respond or not." Luo Yuzhong said, "No one will blame you if you don't respond. If you respond, those old guys will have a better impression of you. You can do whatever makes you feel comfortable."
Since Luo Yuzhong said this, it means that it really doesn’t matter whether Lu Yanhe responds or not. In Luo Yuzhong’s view, it doesn’t affect him at all.
This is the reason why Lu Yanhe likes Luo Yuzhong. Luo Yuzhong never plays the trick of "using words to influence people". He doesn't need to think about it, he just gives it to you directly.
Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously and said, "I should respond. This is not the entire Golden Tripod Award targeting me. It's Huang Lian who is taking revenge on me. Why should I give up the entire Golden Tripod Award just because I don't like him? Teacher, don't you have students on the Golden Tripod Award's Executive Committee? If you drive Huang Lian out of the chairman's position, do your students have any hope of becoming the chairman?"
