The next day at noon, Li Pengfei drove over with others.
Lu Yanhe hugged everyone excitedly.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"It's been a long time since we last met." Lin Yu said with a smile.
After entering university, everyone started learning how to put on makeup, and they looked much more refined than when they were in high school.
Bai Yu, in particular, surprised Lu Yanhe a little.
In Lu Yanhe's impression, Bai Yu was a timid and unimpressive girl. She seemed to wear a ponytail, had a delicate voice when talking to people, and rarely made eye contact with people. But now Bai Yu has long hair, and it can be seen that it has been straightened with special tools, as if she could be used in a shampoo commercial. The hairstyle is just one of her features. She also wears light makeup and a beret, and her whole body exudes the temperament of an exquisite female college student.
"Wow." Lu Yanhe exclaimed.
Bai Yu smiled gently and said, "Hello, Editor-in-Chief."
"Editor Bai, thank you for your hard work." Lu Yanhe also said with a smile.
Except for Xu Zijun, the main creative team of "Jump Up" is basically gathered together.
Oh, the art team hasn’t come yet.
At noon, they had lunch together here and started singing in the KTV box here.
It was the first time that Lu Yanhe sang with them.
Although Lu Yanhe is also a singer, he doesn't have many opportunities to sing. So far, he has only sung one song, "Memories", and another, "Childhood". Chen Ziyan has not yet received a suitable opportunity for him to sing for the first time - of course, this is also because Chen Ziyan thinks that Lu Yanhe writes songs slowly, and this song is very good, so she must find a good stage and can't be perfunctory.
Everyone has their favorite singers and their favorite songs.
After singing together for more than two hours, a few people felt a little tired, so they went to soak their feet and get a massage, and chat at the same time.
"Have you gone back to No. 13 Middle School to check it out?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Lin Yu said, "Well, I went back a few days ago. The school asked me to share my experience with this year's senior high school students."
Lu Yanhe heard this and said, "That's right, you were the first place last year."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "In my opinion, you should be the one to go. You are more representative than me."
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "No one in second place is as good as the first."
"Teacher Liu said that he didn't contact you because you were filming," Lin Yu said, "I originally wanted to ask you to go back."
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll contact Teacher Liu. If she needs me to go back, I still have two days before school starts after I finish filming. I'm in Yuming, so it's quite convenient for me to go back."
Lin Yu nodded.
"Your class teacher is so nice. You all still keep in such close contact with her even after graduation," said Chen Siqi.
Bai Yu nodded and said, "Teacher Liu is really good. When I failed the college entrance examination and my grades were not good, she even called me to encourage me and told me to keep writing. She knows I love writing."
"She's also in our class group, and we often chat together," Li Pengfei said. "Teacher Liu is a good teacher. She really cares about every student. I heard she even sponsored a student in this class."
"Funding?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
"Why, haven't you heard?" Li Pengfei said, "She said one of her students had both parents die of illness, leaving the family with only elderly parents to take care of them. Teacher Liu applied for a subsidy from the school, and she also contributed some of her own money, hoping to help the student finish high school and get into university."
Lu Yanhe: "I haven't heard of it before. This is the first time I've heard of it."
Chen Siqi said, "However, the literature club of No. 13 Middle School did contact me and invite the editorial team of 'Jump Up' to come to the school to give a presentation. I declined at the time because we were already too busy to handle it ourselves."
"However, it is said that 'Jump Up' sells particularly well in front of No. 13 Middle School. The two bookstores can sell 700 to 800 copies of each issue combined," said Lin Yu.
"Wow, so many?" Lu Yanhe was surprised.
"Many juniors and seniors said that this magazine was founded by their seniors and that the entire team was composed of students from No. 13 Middle School, so they had to support it," Linyu said with a smile. "I saw this on the school forum."
"Are you still reading the forum of No. 13 Middle School?"
"Yeah." Lin Yu nodded. "I'm responsible for monitoring the reaction to 'Jump Up' among high school students, so I regularly follow many high school forums and sometimes post surveys there."
“Do many high school students read ‘Jump Up’?”
"A lot, but usually one person in the class buys it, and then the whole class reads it," Linyu said. "In comparison, the purchasing group we lead is actually mainly college students."
"But I think this is a good thing. Although many high school students don't buy it now and just watch their classmates buy it, if we can cultivate their reading habits, they may become our purchasing readers in the future," said Chen Siqi. "Since the announcement that Mr. Baduanjin would serialize 'I'm Not a Fairy' on 'Jump Up,' according to data from Yemai.com, we've seen a lot of new users, many of whom were not our previous readers of 'Jump Up.'"
"Baduanjin is very famous. I've read all his novels," Li Pengfei said. "A lot of people read online novels nowadays, especially Baduanjin. He's probably one of the top online novelists right now."
Chen Siqi nodded: "That's why I asked him to write a series for Jump Up."
"But actually, many of our magazine's readers are female, and I've always wanted to find a coming-of-age novel suitable for our magazine, one that tells stories about youth and school life," Chen Siqi added. "However, I haven't found the right one. Most writers who write about this genre still focus on campus romance."
"Bai Yu, why don't you give it a try?" Lu Yanhe looked at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu quickly shook his head and said, "I've never written a novel before. Now I'm very satisfied to be able to publish a short story in each issue. I never dared to imagine that I could publish a work of my own every month."
"Let's write it first, at least." Lu Yanhe said seriously, "If you don't write it down, you'll never feel it's good enough. Once you write it down, the worst that can happen is that you can just start over again."
Bai Yu hummed.
"Xiao Yun told me that she really likes the novels you wrote." Lu Yanhe said, "Do you know Xiao Yun?"
"I know. I recorded the program "Young Days" with you." Bai Yu was a little surprised, as if she had not expected it.
"She told me about it herself," Lu Yanhe said. "Come to think of it, your novel seems to be the only one in our magazine that expresses a girl's sentimentality, right?"
"It seems so." Chen Siqi nodded, "Except you, there is no one else."
Bai Yu's cheeks turned red, as if she had returned to the shy time in the past.
“That’s the only kind of writing I can do.”
"This is also great. Without you, our magazine wouldn't have this kind of story." Chen Siqi said, "It's best for a magazine to have a little bit of every style."
Lu Yanhe: "You represent our readers with a girlish sentimentality."
"Many readers have expressed their love for Bai Yu in our reader mailboxes," Chen Siqi said. "Her social media accounts now have over 10,000 followers."
“That’s amazing.”
Chen Siqi said: "Sister Xiaoyin is also asking Bai Yu if she has any plans to write a long novel. If so, she hopes to hand over the publishing to her."
"Sister Xiaoyin is so experienced and took the initiative to find Bai Yu. This can only mean that Bai Yu's novels are also very good in the eyes of professionals."
"Don't all praise me in unison." Bai Yu smiled helplessly, "I know myself that my writing is not that good."
"We think it's great," Lu Yanhe said immediately. "Besides, I think it could even be adapted into a movie if there's a chance in the future."
"Don't, don't--" Bai Yu shook his hands quickly.
A person who lacks self-confidence always feels unworthy when receiving praise from others.
Li Pengfei immediately said, "Don't worry, you're the only one among us who can write. You have to work harder. You're the only one who can create content."
Bai Yu stopped talking.
I feel like my brain has crashed.
-
The time spent with them is always so happy and so short.
Early the next morning, Lu Yanhe had to go to work.
They also returned to Yuming directly from here.
Lu Yanhe sat in the car, looking at the group photo on his phone with a smile on his face.
But no matter what, it is a gratifying thing to be able to maintain such a good relationship after graduation.
These people were the first group of people Lu Yanhe met after coming to this world. If possible, Lu Yanhe hoped that they could be lifelong friends.
On the first day of work after the Spring Festival, everyone seemed to be a little out of shape. As a result, regardless of whether it was auspicious or not, Chen Lingling scolded everyone from morning to night, scolding almost everyone and waking them up.
Lu Yanhe was also scolded - because Lu Yanhe made a direct positioning error and appeared on camera.
This kind of low-level mistake deserves criticism.
Lu Yanhe apologized awkwardly and reminded himself to have more snacks.
For Lu Yanhe, filming felt like a breeze. The only difficulty was getting into the character's state and emotions. Especially after meeting his friends, it was difficult for Lu Yanhe to immediately recapture that gloomy feeling of hatred.
Chen Lingling's scolding dispelled all the warmth that Lu Yanhe felt in his heart because of the arrival of his friends.
Xiao Yun even came to comfort Lu Yanhe, saying, "It's rare to see you get scolded."
Less than half an hour after she finished speaking, Xiao Yun was scolded again. This time, it was because she forgot the lyrics.
Chen Lingling scolded Xiao Yun: "You went home for the New Year and forgot about your home?"
Xiao Yun blushed: "I'll get my brain back right away."
Xiao Yun is one of the rare few who can still respond to Chen Lingling's scolding.
Chen Lingling glared at her and said, "Take a five-minute break, and then shoot again in five minutes."
-
Generally speaking, Lu Yanhe only has two to three scenes a day, which is already a lot, because his filming time is only during the winter vacation. As a result, Lang Xia and Xiao Yun also have more scenes this month. But in fact, after Lu Yanhe finishes filming, the two of them will have to rest for more than ten days, and the crew will have to rush to shoot the main actors' scenes.
In addition to the leading actors, many supporting actors do not stay in the crew all the time. Some, like Lu Yanhe who has not yet had his winter vacation, only stay in the crew for one or two days a week. Some join the crew only after receiving a notice from the crew, shoot for four or five days, and then take a break and wait for the notice of the next shooting.
For a large crew like "Phoenix TV", there are many actors and scheduling coordination alone is a big challenge.
However, fortunately, the play was directed by Chen Lingling, so the various acting teams actually cooperated quite well with the crew's arrangements and did not deliberately refuse to cooperate.
On the one hand, Chen Lingling has always kept a very accurate schedule for filming, with very few delays. On the other hand, when everyone signed the agreement with the crew, it was clearly written down how many days of performance time they would provide to the crew.
Lu Yanhe's performance agreement, for example, clearly stated that he was required to provide the crew with at least 35 days of filming time and that he would be on set full-time during his winter break. This was also why Chen Ziyan later signed a supplementary agreement with Huang Cheng, stating that Lu Yanhe's return to the crew for filming after winter break was not part of the original contract.
During the time Lu Yanhe was filming on the set, he made progress in his understanding of acting and character creation.
Especially in controlling the rhythm of your performance.
During the filming of "The Golden Era," although he played a supporting role, he was the main character in every scene he filmed. On the other hand, in "Phoenix Terrace," he was often a purely supporting character, sometimes serving as a background board. There's a big difference between the two, for example, in the former, there was always a camera on him, while in the latter, there wasn't.
Lu Yanhe sometimes didn't even know if he was in the shot, and Chen Lingling wouldn't tell him. Some actors wouldn't act unless they were in the shot. That kind of thing wouldn't happen on Chen Lingling's set. If you dared to make such a request, Chen Lingling would scold you profusely.
This resulted in Lu Yanhe having to be alert and act seriously in every scene, but after many scenes, he found himself just a background board.
It feels like a bit of a waste of effort.
He was puzzled. If Chen Lingling had told him that the shot was just about him but not mainly about him, he wouldn't have put so much effort into it.
An actor's energy is limited, so he should save his best condition for the best play.
Lu Yanhe was a little conflicted about whether he should mention this matter to Chen Lingling, but he was also worried that Chen Lingling would scold him directly.
Just after Lu Yanhe had been struggling for a few days, Chen Lingling suddenly gathered all the actors in the group and asked them to gather in the screening room.
Everyone gathered in the screening room without knowing what was going on. Chen Lingling said that she had made a rough cut of about twenty minutes, and everyone could take a look at the effect first, which would also help them with their subsequent performances.
This rough cut mainly captures the actors' performances, and no post-production has been done yet.
Seeing this, Lu Yanhe was surprised.
He found that he had quite a few shots, and, in any shot of him, when he was speaking, it was basically a large shot above the chest, with few editing points. Often, several lines were spoken in one breath, and the camera just moved without any editing.
But when it comes to Lang Xia and Xiao Yun, there are too many editing points, and basically a shot will switch for every line of dialogue.
In the past, Lu Yanhe would not understand the difference between switching more or less shots, but now he understands.
Only when the material itself is not coherent enough do you need to rely on editing to edit out those flashes of inspiration and cut out those that are not good enough.
Chen Lingling has always said that Lang Xia and Xiao Yun's rhythm is not good enough, and now it is reflected in the editing.
We are all professionals, so we can all see this.
Who is good and who is not can be known from the director's judgment through the director's editing.
Lang Xia's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
In fact, putting this point aside, the performances presented on the screen are all very good. Chen Lingling is really a director who is very good at filming actors' performances. She can capture many details and many micro-expressions that can only be understood but not expressed in words.
To be precise, this rough cut is a PPT that switches between the actors' performance clips one by one.
But after it was played, everyone was still a little shocked.
This is especially true for Lu Yanhe.
He feels strange and unlike himself in this play, especially when he's just a background character. It's hard to tell the changes in his facial expressions, but when those shots are combined with his close-ups, they create a certain effect, allowing people to feel his coldness and forbearance among the crowd.
After the main film was over, Chen Lingling told the actors, "Don't underestimate any scene, especially the interludes you often talk about. It's only natural to perform well in the highlights. Only when you immerse yourself in the character's state in every scene can you be a good professional actor."
When Lu Yanhe heard this, his face turned red.
He felt lucky that he had not had time to talk to Chen Lingling about the "background board" incident.
He also understood why Chen Lingling did this.
Why Chen Lingling can become the top director of domestic TV dramas.
She scolded people so harshly, but she never scolded the actors too hard. At least from the results, every actor became better the more she scolded him.
Suddenly, Liu Biao came over in a hurry.
He went to Huang Cheng's ear and whispered something.
Lu Yanhe vaguely heard his own name.
This made Lu Yanhe a little confused and surprised, and he looked at Huang Cheng and Liu Biao in confusion.
Huang Cheng nodded, indicating to Liu Biao that he understood.
Only then did Liu Biao leave.
After Chen Lingling finished speaking, everyone dispersed. Before Lu Yanhe left, he saw Huang Cheng whispering something to Chen Lingling. Chen Lingling raised her head in surprise and glanced in his direction.
This time Lu Yanhe confirmed that he had not misheard and that it must be related to him.
I just don't know what it is.
Of course, Lu Yanhe didn't remain confused for too long.
Lu Yanhe soon found out what had happened.
A marketing account on the Internet posted a message about him, saying that because Lu Yanhe took on a movie in March, he asked the "Phoenix TV" crew that his scenes must be finished in February. Lu Yanhe became a popular first-line actor because of "The Golden Age". "Phoenix TV" had to adjust the relevant shooting plan and now focused on shooting Lu Yanhe's scenes, and the scenes of other actors were postponed.
This news did not attract much attention or controversy, mainly because not many people saw it and not many people believed it.
Until Lang Xia liked the news, the news went viral.
-
"He Yingzi, I don't care if Lang Xia made a mistake or not. He's the one who caused this. Either you ask him to respond to this within an hour and prove that Yan He didn't ask the crew to prioritize his scenes because of the new movie. Otherwise, we will issue a statement. Don't be offended by what we say when we mention Lang Xia."
Chen Ziyan's tone was extremely serious, which made He Yingzi clearly realize one thing: Chen Ziyan was not threatening her, she was serious.
He Yingzi emphasized again: "I will tell him right away that he really did slip up. We will not do such a thing. Doing such a thing will not benefit us in any way."
"I don't want to listen to this, so stop talking." Chen Ziyan said finally, "I hope to see his speech within an hour."
Chen Ziyan hung up the phone and sat in her office to think for a while.
At this moment, Zhou Ping'an suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
"Is Lu Yanhe going to act in a movie later?" he asked.
Chen Ziyan glanced at him, expressionless, and said, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you right now."
"Thinking about how to solve this problem?" Zhou Pingan said, "You look so worried, could this be true?"
Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes. "Are you just bored or what? If you have something to say, just tell me."
Zhou Pingan smiled and said, "I was just chatting with a friend I know. Coincidentally, the marketing account that broke the news online is managed by their company."
It's long been a consensus in the industry that online marketing accounts aren't necessarily run by just one person; a single account might be managed by a team.
Chen Ziyan looked at him in surprise.
"What did you know?"
"The whistleblower," Zhou Pingan said, "I'll tell you who it is. Don't cause any more trouble for Ma Zhiyuan. We're even."
"Can."
"He Min, the head of the costume department of their crew." Zhou Ping'an said, "You should know him."
Chen Ziyan lowered her eyelashes slightly, paused for a moment, and then nodded almost without movement, "Got it."
Zhou Pingan completed his task, smiled slightly, and said, "Compared to the attack from foreign enemies, what is more hateful is the trouble caused by internal strife, don't you think?"
Of course, he didn't want to leave until he heard Chen Ziyan's answer.
He left after saying this.
-
Hatred and anger have permeated human history for thousands of years. How many similar animosities have boiled in the darkness? How many times have cold arrows been shot from the darkness?
Lu Yanhe's name has become a hot search, and the words "playing big" appeared behind his name for the first time.
The drama "Phoenix Terrace" has attracted much attention and has once again been involved in this scandal.
Is it true or false? Voices of discussion rose one after another.
In fact, this is of course false. But the difficulty also lies in the fact that Phoenix Terrace is indeed trying its best to finish filming Lu Yanhe's scenes in February, so it has affected the filming of other actors.
——Lu Yanhe isn't the main character, so how can he film so many scenes in one day? The other main characters still have to wait on set?
——They just became known by everyone through "The Golden Era", and now they start to act like big shots. I really don’t know what these idol artists are thinking.
——If you have the ability, don’t take on TV dramas anymore, take on movies instead.
…
False and true, real and fake, there are always such voices shooting at me like sharp arrows.
Lu Yanhe's situation on the set was getting worse. If the previous incident with Shen Yufang had only made everyone think that he was a bit difficult to deal with, demanding, and inconsiderate of the staff, then this incident was solid evidence that he was a big shot.
No one knows if he has to finish filming in February because he has to shoot a movie in March, but as a supporting actor, the amount of scenes he shoots every day is almost the same as that of the protagonist. This is something that everyone can see, and it is also what makes everyone wonder.
Lang Xia’s like is more like a kind of recognition.
Although Lang Xia quickly spoke out, saying that he just slipped his hand and clarified the rumors that Lu Yanhe was "playing big", many people believed that Lang Xia was just being manipulated by the public relations.
The relationship between Lu Yanhe and Lang Xia became even worse, but they had to play close friends in the play.
Of course, this would make it easier for Lu Yanhe to empathize with the guard Wei Jiang's feelings towards the prince.
Many actors in the crew are just nodding acquaintances of Lu Yanhe because they don't have many scenes together. The only two people who are really familiar with Lu Yanhe and have had many scenes together are Lang Xia and Xiao Yun.
The relationship between Lu Yanhe and Lang Xia reached a freezing point, and only Xiao Yun had a good relationship with him.
Xiao Yun seemed to want to prove something to everyone. Every time he arrived on the set, he would still talk and laugh with Lu Yanhe enthusiastically.
The crew did not respond to this matter, and Lu Yanhe and others did not respond either.
Chen Ziyan said that she would not respond to this matter for now, and would slowly reverse public opinion later.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what Chen Ziyan wanted to do, but he fully trusted Chen Ziyan, so he calmed down and did not respond to this matter.
No matter what, Huang Cheng and Chen Lingling's attitude towards him has always been consistent, and that's enough. With the two of them around, other people in the crew would only keep their ideas to themselves or talk about them behind others' backs. No one would have the courage to tell Lu Yanhe openly or show displeasure to him.
One day, Huang Cheng was being interviewed by a media reporter at the entrance of a film and television city. When the topic of Lu Yanhe came up, he was speechless and said, "Hasn't this kind of nonsense rumor ever passed? We were too lazy to respond back then, not wanting to increase the popularity of those marketing accounts and let them make money from the traffic. Why are you still asking about it now?"
The reporter was somewhat surprised by Huang Cheng's attitude and asked, "Does that mean there is no such thing?"
Huang Cheng smiled and said, "Come on, the director of our play is Chen Lingling. In China, which young actor would dare to act like a big shot on her set?"
The reporter understood.
The report was published on the same day with the title: Groundless, the producer of "Phoenix TV" responded to the rumors that Lu Yanhe was a big shot!
Chen Ziyan forwarded the report.
Huang Cheng also reposted the report: Xiao Lu has been peacefully filming on the set, even signing a supplementary agreement with the crew before the New Year. After school started, if the crew needed Xiao Lu to come back for reshoots, Xiao Lu fully cooperated and refused to accept any reshoots beyond the agreed-upon filming period. Some people even accused him of being a "big shot." I didn't want to respond before because I thought the news was too fake and no one would believe it, and I didn't want to give marketing accounts an opportunity to capitalize on the hype. But those marketing accounts were like dog-skin plasters, impossible to get rid of.
After many days, he suddenly started to respond to the rumors that Lu Yanhe was "playing big" because of this interview, which surprised everyone.
Just then, Chen Siqi suddenly blurted out: "Because we're shooting a new movie in March, Lu Yanhe's scenes have to be finished in February? ??? ...What the hell? He starts school at the end of February, and he has to finish filming in February. What does that have to do with the new movie? What kind of rumor is this?"
When Lu Yanhe saw the status posted by Chen Siqi, he was stunned for a moment and asked Chen Siqi. Chen Siqi said that Chen Ziyan had contacted her and asked her to post it.
"Of course, my words are more effective than your own. You said that filming had to be completed in February because school had to start, but it sounds like it was your own issues that caused the crew to make adjustments to the filming," Chen Siqi said. "From my perspective, it feels like an adjustment that had to be made based on objective facts. That's what Sister Zi Yan said, and she makes a lot of sense. PR still needs professionals."
Lu Yanhe suddenly understood.
Chen Siqi: I feel like there's some conflict between you and "Phoenix Tower". Why are all the problems with this drama related to you, and you have to pay for it?
Lu Yanhe thought about it and realized that it was true.
Shen Yufang's matter, Zhen Hongyu's matter, and this incident have all affected him to some extent.
Lu Yanhe: Maybe good things take time.
Chen Siqi: I heard the nominations for the Red River Awards, one of the three major domestic TV drama awards, will be released tomorrow. I just saw someone predicting the nominations. Are you nervous? Many people think your performance in "The Golden Era" is worthy of a Best Supporting Actor nomination.
Lu Yanhe said: A little bit. It was okay originally, but after many people said that I had a good chance of getting nominated, I became nervous. If I was not nominated, it would be embarrassing and a bit shameful.
Chen Siqi: There’s nothing shameful about this. After all, everyone recognizes you, so that’s why they say this.
-
As one of the three major awards for domestic TV dramas, the Red River Award has always attracted much attention.
Every list of nominees and winners, as well as the awards ceremony, is an absolute grand occasion.
The three major awards have their own preferences. The Red River Award tends to favor the main theme, the Golden Tripod Award tends to favor audience reputation, and the Blue Ribbon Award tends to favor artistry.
"The Golden Age" is an industry drama that reflects the spirit of the times, and the subject matter itself is what the Red River Awards like.
Lu Yanhe's performance is obvious to all, and during the broadcast period, he received double recognition from the industry and the audience.
It is difficult to win an award, but it is relatively easy to be nominated. After all, the support is so high.
Sure enough, the next day, when the nomination list for the 32nd Red River Awards was released, Lu Yanhe was listed in the Best Supporting Actor category, becoming the youngest nominee for the acting award in the past decade.
As soon as the nomination list came out, Lu Yanhe received many congratulations.
He was still filming on the set, and someone on the set saw the news first and exclaimed loudly, "Wow!"
Then, everyone knew.
At this moment, the crew's alienation from Lu Yanhe due to the "big shot" incident seemed to have disappeared. Everyone had a bright smile on their faces and congratulated him on his nomination.
Lu Yanhe was flattered and expressed his gratitude.
Chen Lingling also nodded at him, a rare gesture, and said, "Well done. I hope Phoenix TV can help you get a second nomination."
Lu Yanhe's cheeks were red.
The first drama was nominated for the Red River Award. Before the drama was broadcast, everyone found it incredible. After the drama was broadcast, it seemed to be the most popular choice.
That’s how acting is. You’ll know whether it’s good or not when you perform it.
In this industry, everyone has eyes and knows what is good and what is bad.
"TV Review" commented on each nomination as usual. When talking about Lu Yanhe, its attitude was full of affirmation and support: "Lu Yanhe encountered a role that fits him very well in "The Golden Era", and in his interpretation of this role, he gave a precise, layered, and relaxed expression. For someone who was only 18 years old when he took the role, he showed an extraordinary talent. Even though the role itself is not complex, the quality of his performance is high-level and meaningful, which is worthy of a nomination."
The news that Lu Yanhe was nominated also became one of the most watched news in this year's Red River Awards, second only to Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen who were both not nominated for the Red River Awards.
That's right, something embarrassing happened at the Red River Awards.
Lu Yanhe became the only actor in "The Golden Era" to be nominated for an acting award.
Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen's performances in this drama cannot be said to be bad, and they were also praised by many viewers during the broadcast.
Especially since these two are among the most popular actors at the moment, they have been acting for so many years and have switched to acting in serious dramas and achieved such good results, but they didn't even get a nomination for the Red River Award.
Lu Yanhe sent messages to Luo Yuzhong and Lei Shuangcheng, expressing his gratitude for their support and care, which enabled him to get the nomination, but he didn't know what to say to Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian.
At this moment, no matter what you say, it will be inappropriate.
Unless he didn't get the nomination.
Fans of Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen were also very disappointed and complained a lot on social media.
The main thing is that this time the performance of the two of them was indeed described by many people as a complete transformation.
Under such circumstances, he didn't even get the nomination.
There is a lot of discussion on the Internet.
-
"The Golden Era" was not the most popular drama in this Red River Award. The most popular and most anticipated drama was "The Long Day" which was broadcasted in March last year. It tells the story of a family in the 1990s. It is a period drama with extremely high ratings, reaching more than 3%. It is the drama with the highest ratings in recent years. It can be said that it is a drama that is followed by the whole nation.
However, the actors in "The Longest Day" are all relatively unknown and talented actors who only truly entered the top ranks after this drama. Their average age is 35 years old, which is nearly 7 or 8 years older than the actors in "The Golden Age".
But "Long Day" was much luckier than "The Golden Age" at the Red River Awards. In the four acting award categories, they received five nominations, one each for Best Actor and Best Actress, one for Best Supporting Actor, and two for Best Supporting Actress, making it the biggest winner in the acting award nominations.
When fans of Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen spoke up for them, they inevitably said some words like unfairness and shady dealings, which angered the fans of the nominees.
Lu Yanhe's fans were relatively more tolerant, as they were from the same crew and knew he had a good relationship with them, so they fought back directly. However, fans of several actors from "Long Day" were not happy with this and scoffed at the comments and fought back.
This always happens every year when the nomination list comes out.
There is no way.
There are always missed gems and regrets.
Lu Yanhe was just beginning to worry about what to say to Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen when Jiang Mingzheng, the lead actor in "Long Day," was interviewed by a reporter. The reporter asked him how he felt about being nominated for the Red River Awards and his opinion of the nominees. Jiang Mingzheng responded, "I'm honored to be nominated. The Red River Awards is a very authoritative and fair award. It doesn't consider popularity, fame, or buzz. It truly judges based on the actor's performance and the quality of the work. I've worked hard for nearly twenty years to get this nomination. I hope for a good result."
There is nothing wrong with Jiang Mingzheng's remarks in themselves, but when they were made at a time when Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian lost their nominations and their fans were unhappy, they were suddenly interpreted with many layers of meaning.
Fans of both of them thought that Jiang Mingzheng was implying something about Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian.
Fans of "Long Day" also believe that Jiang Mingzheng is implying something about them.
The argument intensified. Jiang Mingzheng's remarks were interpreted by numerous marketing accounts, and the image of Jiang Mingzheng, a loyal, honest, and kindhearted man he had portrayed through The Long Day, suddenly began to crumble.
Chen Miao, the contracted editor of "Meng Hui" magazine, directly criticized Jiang Mingzheng: He shouldn't come out and add fuel to the fire at this time.
Jiang Mingzheng’s fans are still not satisfied with Chen Miao’s remarks and asked: Is he wrong?
Chen Miao was not vague and responded directly: What he said is not wrong in itself, but as a nominee, he should not say it at this time. Any actor should be more sympathetic to how it feels to lose the nomination when he is popular, instead of making innuendos in this situation, as if mocking the two young people. Of course, I am not qualified to criticize him. I simply do not approve of his behavior from the perspective of media communication.
Chen Miao's words were recognized by many people.
At this moment, Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen stood up and spoke one after another as if they had made an appointment.
Jiang Yuqian said: It’s okay, let’s keep working hard next time. Being a good actor is not just about one play, it’s a lifelong thing.
Huang Kairen said: There is a long way to go, keep working hard.
The remarks and attitudes of the two of them made the fans feel even more distressed, but it also finally appeased their fans and they stopped angrily attacking the Red River Awards.
When Lu Yanhe saw the two people’s speeches, he immediately clicked “like”.
Lu Yanhe did not make any statement on this matter. His situation really made it impossible for him to make any statement.
But deep down, he was certainly on the side of Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian.
The Red River Awards will be presented at a ceremony on March 6.
Of course Lu Yanhe had to attend, and when the Red River Awards announced that Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian would also attend and serve as award presenters, there was an uproar on the Internet.
Especially the fans of the two.
Their main point of outrage was: "Why did you even attend this Red River Awards, even though you were so highly favored, and you didn't even get nominated? Why did you even bother presenting the awards? Do you really not care about your own reputation? What about all the things we've done before?"
Fans of Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian widely posted words like "quit being fans", "angry", and "unacceptable", causing the heat that had finally subsided to rise again.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect this.
He almost immediately thought of how they both felt right now - they must be in a difficult situation, right?
The Red River Award is one of the three most prestigious awards. Even if they were not nominated, the organizers invited them to be award presenters, perhaps hoping to express their importance to them in this way. Moreover, even if this is not the case, Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian would not openly break away from the Red River Award just because they did not get nominated. Between them and the Red River Award, of course, the former needs the latter more.
However, the fans' disappointment and sadness are understandable. They themselves might share the same feelings as the fans. Honestly, if you were to put yourself in their shoes, they wouldn't want to go either. But because they have to make it in this industry and hope to win this award in the future, they have to go even if they don't want to.
This is not a simple multiple-choice question; there are many factors to consider.
Seeing that the incident was getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen were on the hot search for almost three days because of this incident, and more and more people around Lu Yanhe were discussing this matter.
When he was acting with Zeng Qiao, the male lead of "Phoenix Terrace", he heard Zeng Qiao talking about this incident with others while waiting for his turn.
However, Zeng Qiao's attitude made Lu Yanhe somewhat disappointed.
Zeng Qiao just jokingly said that those fans were just meddling in other people’s business.
"Sometimes these fans can be really annoying. They're often self-righteous, thinking they're the best people for you, but in reality, their actions are what cause the most trouble for their favorite stars," Zeng Qiao said. "This incident put Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian in a dilemma: whether to go to the awards ceremony or not.
What Zeng Qiao said was certainly correct, but his attitude somewhat revealed a bit of disdain for his fans.
It is obvious that he was once a star who relied on the support of fans, but since he won the award, he started to take the route of strength, and always said that hard work and acting skills are more important.
Lu Yanhe remained silent.
Zeng Qiao seemed to suddenly remember that Lu Yanhe was beside him, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Lu, you must be bothered by this too, right?"
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe pretended to be stupid.
"fan."
"Fans?" Lu Yanhe acted as if he hadn't heard what Zeng Qiao said before. "What's wrong with fans?"
Zeng Qiao was about to say it again when Huang Cheng suddenly came and called Zeng Qiao over, seeming to have something to say, so Zeng Qiao had to get up and go over.
Lu Yanhe silently picked up the script.

In the end, Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian did not respond to this matter.
Then, Lu Yanhe's winter vacation was about to end.
Although it was said before that the filming might be postponed, even until Lu Yanhe started school, thanks to Chen Lingling's absolute control over the filming progress and the preferential treatment given to Lu Yanhe in rehearsing the scenes, Lu Yanhe's scenes were finally completed before the holiday.
The last few scenes were all important scenes. Lu Yanhe, Lang Xia and Xiao Yun were tortured by Chen Lingling. Suddenly, they were not satisfied with a scene after shooting it three or four times, so they did it over and over again, changing their previous style of "shooting it in one take".
But at least the filming was completed.
When Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief, Huang Cheng said to him, "We might ask you to come back to reshoot a few scenes later."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
Huang Cheng said: "It's not certain yet, but from what I know about Director Chen, she is still not satisfied with a few of your scenes and wants to reshoot them."
Lu Yanhe heard this and didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for your notification."
"Okay." Huang Cheng patted Lu Yanhe's shoulder and said, "You're a good actor, a very good one. Let's work together on more plays if we have the chance in the future."
Lu Yanhe nodded and agreed.
In fact, Lu Yanhe learned a lot this time.
Although Chen Lingling and Luo Yuzhong have different styles, they are both directors who can bring great benefits to actors.
When Lu Yanhe finished filming, the crew specially sent him flowers and took a group photo together.
After all, the current Lu Yanhe is no longer the Lu Yanhe who was when he first took on this role.
In other words, if Lu Yanhe were faced with this drama and this role now, he might not accept it. Of course, this is from the perspective of Huang Cheng and Chen Lingling. In reality, Lu Yanhe would still accept it.
A play that can be completed in one winter vacation, and directed by a big director, is his best choice now.

After the filming of "Phoenix Tower" was completed, Chen Ziyan specially arranged a dinner for him to have dinner together.
She took a photo of Lu Yanhe eating with his head down.
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and asked, "Sister Zi Yan, why are you taking pictures of me eating?"
"Post it on social media," Chen Ziyan said. "Tell those who say you rushed to finish filming so you can get on with your next movie as soon as possible why you finished filming."
She posted a photo of Lu Yanhe eating on social media, writing, "Actor Xiao Lu finished filming on 'Phoenix Terrace' today. Take a good rest for a few days. School will start soon. I'm college student Xiao Lu again."
Chen Ziyan must put an end to this matter to prevent future troubles.
"But, wasn't 'Miss Ning' supposed to be filmed in March?"
"We haven't even found a leading actress yet, so why bother filming?" Chen Ziyan said helplessly. "You know what, He Han has very high standards for leading ladies. I heard a well-known actress liked the script and offered to take a pay cut to act, but He Han refused, saying she wasn't right for the role. I thought he'd be happy to land a well-known actress for this low-budget film."
Lu Yanhe said: "He really cares about this movie. It's his first film, so of course he wants to find the most suitable person."
Chen Ziyan said: "Once he finds the leading actress for this movie, we can probably start filming anytime."
Lu Yanhe nodded. "Anyway, I only have two scenes. If we're quick, we can even finish filming in one weekend."
Chen Ziyan: "Yes, but I'm still wondering when to announce the news. If your fans knew you accepted a supporting role in an art film, they would probably make a fuss."
"Making trouble?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Chen Ziyan: "Nowadays, there are quite a lot of so-called career fans among the fans. They worry about the actors' roles and endorsements. If they feel that the actors are not worthy of them, they will make trouble and want to tear up the cooperation. In the eyes of many of your fans, you are already the leading man now. Why do you still want to take supporting roles in art films?"
Lu Yanhe suddenly felt overwhelmed. "Why do they even care about these things?"
"Many fans nowadays feel this way. They empathize with you and feel like they're protecting you." Chen Ziyan paused. "Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen encountered similar situations. They've canceled several public events because they want to cool down for a while and avoid further exacerbating the conflict."
Lu Yanhe asked, "Sister Zi Yan, do you think their fans did something wrong?"
"Wrong? There's no right or wrong. Emotions, by their very nature, are neither right nor wrong. Their problem lies in poor fan management. No matter what they do, they need to guide their fans in a timely manner. They've completely let their marketing accounts dictate the situation, and it's gotten out of control," Chen Ziyan said. "Just like when you accepted a supporting role in an art film, if you announced it hastily, you'd definitely draw a lot of opposition from your fans. You have to choose the right time and prepare a PR plan in advance to guide your fans in a timely manner."
Lu Yanhe roughly understood what Chen Ziyan meant.
He nodded.
"In fact, many things and conflicts may not be as simple as right or wrong in black and white. Instead of arguing about right and wrong, it is better to find ways to resolve conflicts and seek common ground while reserving differences."
Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment.
He really hadn't heard the words "seek common ground while reserving differences" for a long time.
"Understood."

Compared to the attention the entire award has attracted, Lu Yanhe's nomination for the Red River Award is not that eye-catching, especially after the incident between Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian.
However, for many people, this has become a thorn in their hearts, making them very uncomfortable during this period and even unable to sleep.
"Why did Lu Yanhe get the nomination? Did he act well in that drama? He just played an ordinary campus idol." The most infuriated person was Chen Ziliang.
Chen Ziliang even called Jiang Yuqian specifically to comfort her about this matter.
"Although you didn't get a nomination, everyone knows you're definitely qualified. The audience recognizes you, and so does the media," Chen Ziliang said. "Look at how Lu Yanhe even got a nomination, and you can see how weak this year's competition is."
Jiang Yuqian hung up the phone on him directly.
Chen Ziliang was extremely annoyed.
He's not an actor, he's a singer. When Lu Yanhe went into acting, Chen Ziliang was happy for a while, because it meant he had one less competitor—singer-songwriters were Chen Ziliang's biggest annoyance. But Lu Yanhe's acting career was going so smoothly that Chen Ziliang didn't like it either.
In the final analysis, Chen Ziliang just didn't like Lu Yanhe, and he had been unhappy with him since the first time they met.
"It's not necessarily that nominations aren't obtained through connections," Chen Ziliang once said during a private gathering with friends. "You all know about these domestic awards, and many of them can be publicized."
After all, it is a judging system, and the judging panel has only seven or eight members, or at most ten people, so public relations can be done.
Chen Ziliang was indignant. "You all know that Lu Yanhe is just lucky to have a great agent. If he didn't have his agent, he would be nothing."
His friends heard him mumbling after drinking, full of disdain and a hint of jealousy, but knowing his usual character, no one responded.
They are not fools. Lu Yanhe was nominated without much controversy, which shows that he is recognized.
When Chen Ziliang said these words at this time, no one refuted him, they were just trying to coax him into amusement.
"What do you think? Should I act in a play?" Chen Ziliang suddenly said, "To be honest, I was originally planning to make a cameo appearance in the role of Lu Yanhe."
Everyone was confused.
"ah?"
"Why would a singer like you act?"
"Sing well."
Everyone was talking at once.
Chen Ziliang was a little annoyed and said, "Aren't there a lot of singers crossing over now?"
Friends think: You need to have the ability to cross boundaries, it’s not something you can do just by crossing boundaries.
However, everyone also knew that Chen Ziliang would most likely not listen to advice. Too many such things had happened before, and they had already learned their lessons. If they tried to persuade him to be more rational at this time, he would scold you and look down on him. Therefore, no one said these words this time.

Like Chen Ziliang, there are many people who are unhappy about Lu Yanhe getting the nomination.
However, he was the only one who felt like Chen Ziliang that he could become an actor.
Like Ma Zhiyuan, he just has a stronger sense of crisis in his heart.
Not to mention that Li Zhibai has become popular again thanks to "To the End of the World", Lu Yanhe has even been nominated for an authoritative award. The momentum of the two of them seems to be surpassing him.
If we look at the data on the Internet, of course there is no such thing.
While Lu Yanhe leads the trending searches, Ma Zhiyuan remains firmly in first place in terms of social media followers and other metrics. As a true top-tier idol, his fans' fighting power and willingness to pay are undeniable.
Although Lu Yanhe is very popular, he does not have many real fans - it is difficult for an artist with a non-outstanding or unobvious personality to be famous personally, no matter how popular he is.
However, if Lu Yanhe could rise to prominence by winning awards, then even if he had fewer fans, his status would surpass Ma Zhiyuan.
This is the situation in the domestic entertainment industry. The era of true idol artists has not yet truly arrived.
At this time, Chen Ziyan also received an invitation to a new program.
"Idol Era".
What Chen Ziyan didn't expect was that this was actually a weekly program that was going to be broadcasted for a long time, and its slogan was "The first top-level variety show in China that provides a stable stage for idols!"
