The movie that Lu Yanhe thought of for Chen Bige was a very classic movie called "Raise the Red Lantern".
In its original time and space, this film achieved remarkable success, winning the Silver Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival and being nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars. The leading actress Gong Li also won the Best Actress Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards.
Lu Yanhe was in his first year of high school when he saw this film. He initially thought he wouldn't be able to get into it because it was so far removed from his life, and because it told a story of jealousy within a wealthy family. But after watching it in one sitting, he finally understood why some movies are truly great: a different perspective, a different approach, can tell a different story.
This is a film with a very high-level story theme. It is adapted from Su Tong's novel "Wives and Concubines". There is a top-notch text as the basis of the film, and the film has made a very clever adaptation - the master who has never appeared, and the big red lanterns in the deep courtyard that become more shadowy when lit up, are the visual themes that can only be given by movies.
Chen Bige's wildness, romanticism, and genuine sincerity instilled in Lu Yanhe an inexplicable resemblance to Gong Li. Chen Bige, now in her early thirties, is about the same age as Gong Li when she starred in Raise the Red Lantern. So, the film immediately came to Lu Yanhe's mind.
This is also a movie that Lu Yanhe has a deep memory of and can almost tell the story from beginning to end.
In addition to this movie, there is another one that Lu Yanhe also thinks is very suitable, "Rouge" starring Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui. Lu Yanhe doesn't watch many Hong Kong movies, and "Rouge" is one of them.
However, there is a problem with both films, that is, they have a sense of age. Movies that were successful in their time, if they were changed to a different time and space, although the stories would certainly be classic, they might not necessarily resonate with a wide range of people.
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment and decided not to consider these issues for the time being, but to write the story first.
-
Chen Bige woke up lazily, yawned, and turned over in bed.
After finally finishing filming "Pirates of the Galaxy", she can have a good rest for two months.
At her level, she no longer needs to take on jobs frantically to maintain her position.
After so many years of debut and winning countless awards, I am now at the top of the pyramid and can almost enjoy my life.
But Chen Bige loves acting and is passionate about the profession of actor, so she still makes sure to shoot one or two dramas a year.
However, in the past two years, I don’t know whether she has become more picky or the market has indeed changed, but good scripts that can move her are almost gone.
Most of the movies on the market today are not her favorite genres, and she is not willing to play supporting roles in action movies, comedies, or science fiction films unless she is asked to help by a close friend.
This made it difficult for Chen Bige to get good movies, otherwise, she would not have played the supporting role in "Pirates of the Caribbean". She wanted to expand her market and look for roles outside.
Chen Bi Ge is aware that there are currently few films in the domestic film market that she can act in. This is because the domestic box office market is rapidly growing, but the leading genres are generally comedy, action, war, and science fiction. This has led many film companies to lean towards these types when planning projects. It's not that she doesn't want to act in these types of films, but rather that these types of films rarely find leading roles that she can play.
With Chen Bige's current status, it is impossible for her to play a supporting role.
As for the request she'd made to Lu Yanhe the previous night to write a script specifically for her, Chen Bige didn't take it too seriously. She knew it wasn't easy to get a script tailored for her. She knew a lot of screenwriters and even more film company bosses. It wasn't that she couldn't get scripts, but that she wasn't satisfied with the ones she did receive.
"Ah——" Chen Bige lay on the bed and yawned lazily again. Her exposed skin was white, delicate, and as smooth as a milk cake.
She picked up her phone and looked at it. There were quite a few unread messages.
After the news of "The Seventeenth Floor" came out, the drama production companies that she had worked with and knew came to contact her.
During this period, many TV dramas came to her, trying to get the schedule for her next drama.
Before "Seventeenth Floor", Chen Bige had not acted in a TV series for a long time, so in everyone's mind, Chen Bige would not act in TV series and would not be given a script. Now the situation has changed.
Chen Bige didn't care too much.
Now that she has already accepted "Seventeenth Floor", she will not take on any other dramas in the coming year and is not in a hurry to decide what to play next.
Chen Bige thought so and replied to them one by one, then the movement of his fingers suddenly paused.
She was stunned.
At two o'clock in the morning yesterday, Lu Yanhe sent her a document and said: Sister Bi Ge, these are two ideas I have temporarily. I haven't written them into a script yet. It's just a story. Take a look.
Chen Bige opened the document Lu Yanhe sent her in disbelief.
At the same time, a voice lingered in her mind: "...This Lu Yanhe is too unreliable. He just wrote a story so hastily to perfunctory me? If he doesn't want to write a script for me, he doesn't have to perfunctorily treat me like this. Wait! Or two stories?"
Chen Bige's eyes fell on the two quotation marks in the document.
"Raise the Red Lantern".
"Rouge".
Just these two names made Chen Bige stunned.
Chen Bige has read hundreds, if not thousands, of scripts. While not every good script has a catchy title, most often, the title sparks anticipation.
This is undoubtedly true of both names.
Chen Bige's mentality changed instantly. He sat up, smoothed his hair, and began to read carefully.
-
"You're all students from the Faculty of Arts. We're already halfway through our course, and there won't be any final exams. So, each of you should write me a novel of no less than 5,000 words on the theme of AI."
In this computer class, the homework assigned by the teacher before get out of class ended left all the students confused.
"ah?"
"What?"
"Writing a novel? Isn't this a computer class?"
…
In Zhenhua, many teachers have their own personalities and do not follow the rules. However, Lu Yanhe did not expect that even the computer teacher is like this, and he was stunned.
However, although everyone complained, they finally accepted it.
"Not everyone in the Faculty of Arts can write novels," a classmate nearby complained.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"Miao Yue, I think we all need your help." Another classmate immediately said to Miao Yue.
Miao Yue looked bitter and resentful. She said, "I still need your help, AI. I haven't written any science fiction novels."
Lu Yanhe listened to their complaints, packed his schoolbag, and prepared to go back to the dormitory.
Zhou Mukai asked: "Where are you going? The library?"
Lu Yanhe said, "The dormitory."
Zhou Mukai nodded and said, "I'm going back to the dormitory too. Let's go together."
"Walk."
Lu Yanhe asked, "Have you ever written a novel before?"
Zhou Mukai shook his head. "I haven't written anything. I read a lot and want to write, but I can't. I don't have the talent."
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Then I have to write it this time. I've already assigned homework."
"I can only write something casually to get by," said Zhou Mukai.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Zhou Mukai hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say to Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe saw it and waited for a while. Zhou Mukai still didn't say anything and seemed to be still hesitating.
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment, then spoke directly, asking, "What's wrong? Why are you hesitant to speak? Why can't you just tell me what's going on?"
"I—" Zhou Mukai was obviously embarrassed by what he was about to say, "I want to ask you for a favor."
It obviously took him a lot of effort to say this, as if he had mustered up all his courage.
Lu Yanhe laughed, "You say."
Zhou Mukai said, "I saw you post on WeChat Moments saying that Jump Up magazine was looking for a part-time editor. I wanted to sign up, but since I had no experience, I didn't. But then I thought about it and decided I'd like to gain some experience. I'm very interested in Jump Up magazine and read almost every issue. I wonder if I can still come?"
Lu Yanhe looked at Zhou Mukai in surprise.
He didn't expect Zhou Mukai to have this idea.
"If the class is full, then forget it." Zhou Mukai said immediately.
He seemed a little afraid to look at Lu Yanhe.
This person is also very shameless. It seems that he mustered up the courage to say this to Lu Yanhe in person.
This surprised Lu Yanhe.
After all, Zhou Mukai usually seems to be quiet, but he doesn't seem to be a reserved and introverted person.
Lu Yanhe said, "If you're willing to work as a part-time editor, we'd certainly welcome you. We're just worried that this job might not be as good as you imagined and might be quite boring."
Zhou Mukai shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I just want to experience it. It's just a part-time job. No matter how boring it is, I will stick with it for at least a year."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Then I'll talk to them."
Zhou Mukai: "Thank you very much."
Lu Yanhe asked, "Old Zhou, why did you choose literature as your major? Was it your first choice?"
"Yes." Zhou Mukai nodded. "Because I like it. When I was little, my grades were terrible, and the only thing I did well in was Chinese. If it weren't for my good grades in Chinese, I would have given up studying long ago. At that time, I read a lot of books. No matter what the book was, as long as it contained text, I could get into it. I didn't have to worry about other subjects, and I didn't have to worry about not being able to learn some knowledge points."
"A safe haven?"
"Yeah." Zhou Mukai nodded. "Actually, it's not just literature. I also like history and philosophy. I've been used to reading since I was a child. After the college entrance examination, I directly chose literature as my major."
"No wonder you've read every book the teacher mentioned." Lu Yanhe sighed.
Zhou Mukai asked, "Why did you choose to study literature?"
Lu Yanhe groaned and said, "I was actually transferred to Literature, but my first choice was History."
"Huh?" Zhou Mukai looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.
"I'm different from you. Before my senior year of high school, I only read relatively easy-to-understand novels. As for classic literature, I only read the World Masterpieces series," Lu Yanhe explained. "I didn't know much about literature, especially classical, modern, and contemporary literature. In my senior year, I was actually very interested in history."
"Isn't it painful for you to study this major now?"
"That won't happen." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "For someone like me who hasn't read much, studying any major is bound to be painful. I have a lot of homework to catch up on. But because I act, studying literature is actually very helpful to me. Studying texts, analyzing characters, and learning literature actually helps me learn scripts and acting."
Just like his previous role in "Three Mountains," his ability to so quickly construct the fortune teller's past life stemmed from his six months of study. A general understanding of world literary history, and the models and structures of classic stories, made it easier for him to find key points in character creation. And the essence of a high-level character also stems from the content taught in every class and by every teacher.
Lu Yanhe said, "When I read 'Les Miserables,' to be honest, I didn't see anything good about the opening. The beggars' kingdom and the noisy festival—it was quite chaotic, even though it's a classic. Later, I read a few papers on the novel's purpose and literary significance, and I kind of understood why it holds such a high status, but I can't say I really like it that much. Then, I took four 'Les Miserables' analysis classes with Teacher Tan. He took us through each paragraph and sentence in great detail, and suddenly I could understand why a certain opening was well-written, why a sentence was placed there, and why a certain adjective was used in a description. I don't really like 'Les Miserables' anymore, but I do understand why its content is such a classic."
Zhou Mukai looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise and said, "Can you think about these things?"
"Um?"
"Why does a work like "Les Miserables" become a classic?" said Zhou Mukai.
Lu Yanhe nodded. "I won't force myself to enjoy reading classic works, but I still hope to understand—at least rationally—why a work is loved by so many and becomes a classic. Otherwise, my aesthetic sense will always be limited to my own feelings. Whether it's working on 'Jump Up' or being an actor, it requires me to broaden the boundaries of my aesthetic sense."
Lu Yanhe had rarely had the opportunity to discuss this with anyone before. This time, on the way back to the dorm, he suddenly struck up a conversation with Zhou Mukai, which was quite unexpected. But he had to admit, it was actually quite refreshing to be able to talk about this with someone.
-
As soon as Lu Yanhe arrived at the dormitory, Chen Bige called.
"Xiao Lu, these two stories...did you write them before?" Lu Yanhe didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that there was a hint of nervousness in Chen Bige's voice, which he didn't know whether it could be considered excitement.
Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Bi Ge, have you finished reading it? I've had some related ideas before, but I wrote the specific story after meeting you last night."
Chen Bige could no longer contain her astonishment and said, "You are truly a genius."
Lu Yanhe was not surprised at Chen Bige's reaction. Chen Bige had a very discerning eye, and "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Rouge" were both very classic movies. Putting aside the box office, their artistic value had been verified by time. It was a foregone conclusion that Chen Bige would be surprised by these two scripts.
Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Bi Ge, which of these two stories do you think you would like to play more?"
"Which one do I want to play more? I want to play both. You have to give me both stories." Chen Bige said without hesitation, "Give me the scripts adapted from these two stories!"
Lu Yanhe didn't expect Chen Bige to be so exaggerated. "Sister Bi Ge, you only act in one movie a year."
"I can also act in two films a year. These two stories... Xiao Lu, let me tell you the truth, after reading them, I felt that no one is more suitable than me." Chen Bige said, "Aren't you writing the heroine based on my image? I can see it!"
Lu Yanhe said, "But, Sister Bi Ge, these two stories may not sell well at the box office. After all, they are not very commercial themes."
"The box office won't be bad, either. You didn't write one of those convoluted, confusing stories. Your two stories are truly exceptional." Chen Bige used the word "exquisite" to describe them. "One is about being swallowed up by the big red lantern hanging high, and the other is about discovering you've waited all these years for a heartless man. Both of your endings are amazing. I got goosebumps when I read them to the end. They feel like scripts you could only read ten or twenty years ago."
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but sigh again at Chen Bige's sharp vision, as he could even read that sense of time.
Indeed, the style of movies changes with the times.
Movies from different eras will have different styles, including scripts, which are aesthetics influenced by the times.
He did not make any changes to the two stories based on his own understanding, but basically copied them verbatim, so they have that sense of the times.
Nowadays, filmmaking rarely emphasizes structure. "Raise the Red Lantern" has a very standard structure, while "Rouge" has a strong sense of fate and irony. Chen Bige rarely reads scripts like this, as no screenwriter would write them again. This is also the source of her excitement. If she could occasionally receive one or two scripts with such rich literary and artistic meaning, she wouldn't be so surprised.
Today's art films are basically set in the current context, especially in rural and township areas. People have seen too many of them and are tired of them.
Lu Yanhe said, "Well, Sister Bi Ge, do you really want to act? If you do, I'll start writing the script. I'm not very good at writing scripts, so it'll take a lot of time to revise and polish it, draft by draft."
Chen Bige said, "I'll act. Xiao Lu, as long as you write the script, you don't have to worry about anything else. I'll find someone to take care of the funding, the filming crew, the distribution..."
Lu Yanhe: "Okay, then I'll start writing the script. However, Sister Bi Ge, I'm not being modest with you. I'm not familiar with scriptwriting, and there will be a lot of areas where I'll need your guidance, or even other teachers' guidance. This script won't be like the ones you received before, which might have been more mature by the time you got it."
Lu Yanhe felt that he had to speak the truth upfront, lest Chen Bige think the story was good when she read it now, but then regret it when she read the first and second drafts and realized they were so bad she couldn't even finish reading them.
Chen Bige said, "Just focus on your work. If the final script you write is not good enough, I will find a screenwriter to revise it myself."
Lu Yanhe: "...Oh."
Chen Bige: "Of course, you are still the number one screenwriter, so I won't let you suffer any loss."
"I understand." Lu Yanhe said.
Lu Yanhe quite likes Chen Bige's bold and straightforward personality. She doesn't hide anything.
"Then I'll leave it to you," Chen Bige said. "I'll reserve my entire schedule for you next year. Yan He, it's been a long time since I've acted in a movie that made me want to act. I've felt that from the two stories you told me. Let's work hard together."
Lu Yanhe agreed.
-
For any actor, a good script is priceless.
When Chen Ziyan learned that both stories written by Lu Yanhe were liked by Chen Bige, even though she had already accepted the fact that Lu Yanhe was a genius, at this moment, she was still shocked, stunned, and even felt incredible.
Chen Ziyan couldn't help but think seriously, is Lu Yanhe more suitable to be a screenwriter than an actor?
Is Lu Yanhe’s talent as a screenwriter stronger than his talent as an actor?
After five minutes of thinking, Chen Ziyan was too lazy to think anymore. There was nothing to think about. It wasn't an either-or situation. She could only do one or the other. Why bother choosing?
At present, Chen Ziyan has no plans to make public the fact that Lu Yanhe wrote the script.
There is already enough information about Lu Yanhe’s identity and information, and I don’t want to cause him any more trouble.
Once the news of Lu Yanhe's ability to write scripts spread, it was likely to cause another uproar. Furthermore, there would undoubtedly be more doubts than affirmations.
Chen Ziyan specifically called Jia Long and Chen Bige and asked them not to reveal Lu Yanhe's identity as the screenwriter for the time being.
What Chen Ziyan didn't expect was that although she had taken all kinds of precautions, she had missed one person.
Li Zhibai.
When Li Zhibai was attending an event, a reporter asked him, "Zhibai, have you ever considered acting in a movie?"
Li Zhibai was speechless when he heard the reporter's question. He asked in return, "Is this something I can decide whether to consider or not?"
The reporter asked, “So what do you think made this decision?”
Li Zhibai: "That's not nonsense. Is there a movie script that I want to act in? Is the movie script that comes to me the one I want to act in? It has to be something that both parties are happy with. What does it have to do with whether I consider it or not? Which actor would draw a line and say they will never act in a movie?"
Li Zhibai felt that the reporter's question was too unprofessional.
If you ask a movie actor whether he would consider acting in a TV series, it might be reasonable.
The reporter, prodded by Li Zhibai, smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask, do you have any plans to make a movie in the future? Are there any films that have approached you?"
"Even if there is one, I can't tell you. Can I make the official announcement?" Li Zhibai finished speaking, then added, "However, Yan He said he wants to write a script for Yan Liang and me and let us act it out."
"Lu...Lu Yanhe?" the reporter asked in shock.
Li Zhibai raised his chin with some pride and said, "Could there be another Li Yanhe?"
The reporter asked: "Can Lu Yanhe write scripts?"
"Why can't he write a script?" Li Zhibai asked back.
reporter:"……"
The reporter said, "I don't think I've ever seen Lu Yanhe write a script before."
Li Zhibai asked, "Before 'Jump Up' came out, had you ever seen Lu Yanhe run a magazine?"
reporter:"……"
If he didn't know Li Zhibai's speaking style too well, he would think that Li Zhibai was deliberately confronting him.
"After Lu Yanhe finishes writing the script, will you and Yan Liang act in it?"
"That's no nonsense, of course I can act." Li Zhibai said as if it was a matter of course.
-
As soon as this interview was released, it sparked heated discussion.
First, Li Zhibai's tone and attitude during the interview were too arrogant, and some people seized on it and said that Li Zhibai was impolite, looked down on reporters, and acted bossy.
The second is what Li Zhibai said, that Lu Yanhe wanted to write a script for them.
The former is a common problem of Li Zhibai, and he would be criticized every now and then, but the latter has caused a lot of discussion among people.
Mainly, Lu Yanhe wrote the script?
Lu Yanhe does have many identities: a top student, a singer, an actor, an idol artist, an editor-in-chief... He is just a freshman, but he is so active, and he does it in a colorful way. He is not just messing around or showing off.
Despite this, no one could accept that Lu Yanhe had become a screenwriter again.
Screenwriting is not a profession that can be achieved overnight.
After Li Zhibai said this, the female writer Yu Jiang, who had always been at odds with Lu Yanhe, showed up again.
She ridiculed Lu Yanhe for being ignorant of his own limitations, and thinking that he had the talent to be a screenwriter just because he had learned a little Chinese. It was disgraceful that he was so young and didn't know how to learn humbly and lay a solid foundation, and he suddenly came out to be a screenwriter at this time.
Of course, Lu Yanhe's fans were not happy to see Yu Jiang attacking him like this, and they went to her comment section to mock her for being jealous of Lu Yanhe's remarkable achievements at such a young age.
——It was you who initially predicted the failure of “Jump Up”. Now “Jump Up” is getting better and better, and its sales are getting higher and higher. Don’t you feel embarrassed?
——You looked down on an artist like Lu Yanhe as the editor-in-chief, but as a result, "Jump Up" became the only newly-launched magazine in the almost extinct magazine industry, and successfully became the best-selling commercial literary magazine, with an average sales volume of over 100,000 copies. Can your novel achieve such high sales?
——After Liu Jiazhen’s novel was serialized in “Jump Up”, it topped the bestseller list of novels for seven weeks as soon as the physical book was published. Are you jealous?
——Although I don’t know whether it is true that Xiao Lu is planning to write a script, as I said before, when a young person is preparing to do something, if you don’t encourage him/her, it only shows that you, the “old senior”, are narrow-minded.
…
Yu Jiang's comment section is often dominated by Lu Yanhe's fans, and she's become accustomed to it. She responds to some fans' comments in the comment section, especially some that she considers "negative," which often appear on trending searches and make her a "scenery" for the online spectators.
There are indeed not many people who support Yu Jiang in this matter now.
Yu Jiang was still stubborn, saying, "Am I wrong? What freshman starts writing scripts? I'm not talking about practice works, but serious works. Lu Yanhe's acting talent doesn't mean he's talented with words. If he's really that good at writing, why doesn't he publish his works in his own magazine? I've only seen him write about his own experiences in Jump Up, never any fictional works. A movie script is not a memoir."
As a result, Chen Siqi suddenly jumped out at Yu Jiang's words, retweeting Yu Jiang's post and saying, "Thank you to Yu Jiang, the number one hater of Jump Up, for also reading our Jump Up. It seems our magazine's content is really good. Everyone, come and read it! Jump Up is a magazine that even haters read!"
After all this ups and downs, #“Jump Up” is a magazine that even anti-fans are reading# became a hot topic.
Yu Jiang was so angry that he was fuming.
The sales of the several issues of "Jump Up" that have been published have seen another wave of growth.
Yu Jiang commented on Chen Siqi's repost: You really know how to freeload.
Chen Siqi replied: I would definitely take advantage of the popularity you've given me, thank you, Mr. Yu Jiang! Love you!
Yu Jiang: Shameless.
Chen Siqi: I learned from you. Master, you taught me well, so I became a disciple very early!
…
By the time Lu Yanhe saw the online conversation between Chen Siqi and Yu Jiang, it had already swept across all entertainment, marketing, and media accounts with overwhelming popularity, and almost all of them were reporting on this "battle."
Chen Siqi also became a hot search, with the entry being #Learn from Chen Siqi how to curse people in a bitchy way#.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say. He even felt that this hot search was either bought by Chen Siqi herself or by Chen Ziyan for her.
If this term is applied to someone else, they might even mutter "bitch" and wonder if it's referring to them.
But Chen Siqi will definitely think this is a compliment to her.
Lu Yanhe’s fans all came to support Chen Siqi, and many even said that they had become Chen Siqi’s fans.
Someone said, "I've been annoyed with Yu Jiang for a long time, but I'm also frustrated by her poor tongue. She's incredibly good at making trouble, and I thought I had to be even more shameless and unreasonable to defeat her. Today, Chen Siqi showed me what it means to use a bitch to defeat a bitch. She's incredible! From now on, Chen Siqi will be my idol. I hope she can open a language arts class. I'm willing to pay to learn this language art!"
This post has received over 10,000 likes and over a thousand comments, and has been very popular.
-
Yu Jiang's current situation where she is stepped on by everyone as soon as she shows up is all caused by herself.
Lu Yanhe's popularity among the public is all due to his usual accumulation.
Lu Yanhe called Chen Siqi, and Chen Siqi said, "If I hadn't known that Yu Jiang was genuinely unhappy with us, I would have thought she was openly at odds with us, but was actually collaborating with us to hype up the issue. The pre-sale figures for the May issue have broken records again."
Lu Yanhe was at a loss for words and said, "This is really..."
Chen Siqi: "I'm praying she won't give up, and it would be best if she could come back every two or three months to boost the sales of 'Jump Up'."
Lu Yanhe: "You're really awesome. You can really piss people off without even using a single curse word."
Chen Siqi: "Don't forget, I have a lot of experience in dealing with people like this."
This is how Chen Siqi gained experience by struggling with Liu Wei'an.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
Chen Siqi asked, "Are you really planning to write a script for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang?"
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe said, "I think I've figured out the story, all I have to do is write it down."
Chen Siqi asked, "What's the story?"
Lu Yanhe said: "To put it simply, it's a funny story about a pair of silly brothers who are pursuing a beautiful girl."
Chen Siqi: "Another comedy?"
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Siqi: "Why do you like writing comedies so much? It doesn't seem like you normally do."
"Maybe I just don't usually show it." Lu Yanhe said, "Besides, I also wrote two stories for Chen Bige, and she liked them. I also plan to turn them into scripts."
Chen Siqi was surprised: "Are you so awesome?"
Lu Yanhe: "It's okay, not that awesome."
Chen Siqi said, "If Li Zhibai hadn't said it, would they have known you were the screenwriter only after the movie was released?"
"That's not the case. Film productions must be filed, and the screenwriter's information will be disclosed at that time." Lu Yanhe said, "Unless I use a pen name."
Chen Siqi: "A pen name is unnecessary. The film company certainly won't want you to use a pen name. Your name is also a promotional point."
Lu Yanhe: "That's right."
Chen Siqi: "Have you ever considered writing it into a novel and publishing it in Jump Up?"
Lu Yanhe said, "I've considered it, but I don't think it would be that good if I turned it into a novel. You know, I don't have the talent for writing novels."
Chen Siqi: "That's not the case. The novels you write are quite good, but they're just not as talented as you are in other areas. I quite liked the novel Lost on Journey that you wrote."
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "That's just a story outline, not even any creative work."
Chen Siqi said, "Don't forget to give me an article about your childhood memories in our July summer special issue."
Lu Yanhe: "Okay."
He suddenly remembered something. "Actually, I wrote a song called 'Childhood' a while ago. How about publishing the lyrics in the magazine first? I think the lyrics of that song are pretty good."
Chen Siqi: "Send it to me first."
Lu Yanhe sent it to Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi: "When did you write this?"
"At the end of my senior year."
"Why hasn't it been published for so long?" Chen Siqi asked.
Lu Yanhe said: "Because I write songs slowly, Sister Zi Yan told me to find a suitable opportunity to release them."
Chen Siqi: "Then can I post the lyrics on Jump Up?"
"It's just that the lyrics aren't a big problem." Lu Yanhe said, "You can also warm up this song for me first."
-
Regarding the song "Childhood", Lu Yanhe really forgets it from time to time, and then remembers it from time to time.
Indeed, as Chen Ziyan said, this song is really good, and because it is good enough, it cannot be released casually.
Every song has its own fate, but a singer should give it the greatest chance.
If there was no "Childhood", Lu Yanhe's career would not be affected in any way - in this case, just wait and see.
And then, June came.
As June approaches, the temperature rises.
Summer has irresistibly set up the furnace and is preparing to bake the world.
In this situation, many people changed into T-shirts and shorts early, and even wore slippers to class.
Lu Yanhe originally wanted to wear it like this, but was sternly stopped by Chen Ziyan.
"Do you believe that if you dress like this, you'll be trending on social media?" Chen Ziyan said. "At the very least, you're dirty in private. At the worst, you're disrespectful to the teacher and the class."
After being stopped by Chen Ziyan, Lu Yanhe had no choice but to give up the idea of wearing slippers.
Lu Yanhe entered the exam week.
The second season of "Young Days" has begun preparations and is ready for recording.
"The Seventeenth Floor" is also about to start filming.
A first draft of the movie script for Raise the Red Lantern had already been written, but Lu Yanhe did not show it to anyone and decided to revise it several times himself.
"Phoenix TV" has already started post-production and hopes to air it in August, but it is said to be difficult as it is a big project after all.
He Han was ready to give up on "Miss Ning" because he couldn't find a suitable heroine.
The script of "Late Spring" written by Liu Bige and Miao Yue has reached a similar stage and has begun preparations for formal filming. They plan to shoot in the first half of next year. They also specifically contacted Lu Yanhe and asked him to free up more time in the second semester of his sophomore year and take fewer courses.
On June 4th, the Golden Tripod Awards announced this year's nomination list. Huang Kairen, Jiang Yuqian, and Lu Yanhe from "The Golden Era" were all nominated by their respective departments, becoming the biggest winners on the nomination list, sweeping away the previous decline in the Red River Award for Performance where only Lu Yanhe was the only winner. Among the creative team of "The Golden Era", producer Lei Shuangcheng also sent out ten red envelopes in a row to celebrate.
The official awards ceremony will be held on July 3rd, and there will be a nominees luncheon on July 2nd.
Lu Yanhe had to participate in such a big award, so he had to greet the crew of "Seventeenth Floor" in advance and ask for leave.
"Although your chances of winning aren't very high, this is one of the three major awards for domestic TV dramas after all, so you have to attend and show your sincerity," Chen Ziyan said. "Being nominated for your first acting role shows that they believe in you, encourage you, and believe that you will have even greater success in the future."
Lu Yanhe nodded and agreed.
"Now all we have left is a Blue Ribbon Award. If you can also get a Best Supporting Actor nomination there, then you'll have won all three major nominations for this film," Chen Ziyan said. "By then, you'll be the top actor of your age, bar none."
Actors also need awards to support themselves.
Including nominations.
Lu Yanhe said, "I'll try my best."
"come on."
In June, apart from recording an episode of "City Travelogue" and participating in action training for "Seventeenth Floor", Lu Yanhe spent all his time preparing for the exam, hoping to get a good grade.
After the exams ended on Monday, Lu Yanhe seamlessly joined the crew of "Seventeenth Floor".
"The Seventeenth Floor" has not started filming yet, but everyone has joined the crew in advance to read the script.
It is said that this was Chen Bige's strong request.
