Chapter 356 Why Think so Much?

"With such a big show, if the first broadcast doesn't break 1, it will probably be booed by a lot of people."

When everyone was having dinner together for "The Seventeenth Floor", Lian Bei couldn't help but express how much pressure he was under.

However, it is true that it is impossible not to be under pressure.

Especially the director.

The two people with the most pressure in this project are director Lian Bei and the first leading actor Chen Bige.

The former is a rising star director who became a big hit in his first play. Whether the second play can continue the glory of the first play is a report he has to submit.

The latter is a top actor standing at the top of the actor pyramid. She hasn't acted in a TV series for many years. This time she returns to the small screen. Whether she can carry the ratings and launch a hit is also a report she has to submit.

Lu Yanhe has much less pressure.

He was the one who carried the show in "Friends", but not in "The Seventeenth Floor".

Of course, as long as they are the leading actors, the performance of a show will have an impact on them, which is beyond doubt.

Lu Yanhe said: "Director, it will definitely work. The main audience of "The Seventeenth Floor" is young people. This time our publicity is all targeting the young market. The early topics are very hot and will definitely be converted into ratings."

"This theme is also very novel." Lin Chan also said with a smile, "My friends around me are very interested in this theme."

"I always feel that such a theme may be better if it is broadcast exclusively on the Internet. I am always a little uneasy about whether the TV ratings can be raised." Lian Bei smiled and sighed, "But it has come to this point. I can only bite the bullet and rush forward. I still sincerely hope that our play can have a good result, so that I can realize my trilogy concept."

Lian Bei has a trilogy concept for "The Seventeenth Floor".

Lu Yanhe also clasped his hands together and said sincerely: "I also hope that "The Seventeenth Floor" will be a big hit, so that the "Squid Game" I wrote can be sold at a better price."

Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Everyone knows that Lu Yanhe also has a "Battle Royale" theme play later, but it has not yet started.

After thinking about this, Li Yuefeng felt a little sad while smiling.

He was still struggling to figure out how to get ahead, but Lu Yanhe had already reached the point where he could manage his own projects.

Comparing people is really annoying.

They are dwarfed.

Li Yuefeng was actually a little worried. After all, he and his management team were trying to take advantage of Lu Yanhe's popularity and wanted to make himself a male lead who was equal to Lu Yanhe, rather than a male supporting role. The performance contract he signed with Jingtai clearly stated that the male lead of this drama was Lu Yanhe, and he, Li Yuefeng, was only the third lead.

However, after probing, he found that Lu Yanhe and his team did not react at all, and Chen Ziyan did not come to knock on his management team, which made Li Yuefeng feel relieved and a little depressed. Because this shows that Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan don't care much about his "jumping" things. Li Yuefeng was thinking, is it possible that he can no longer enter the field of vision of these two people?

Anyway, people are just cheap. Doing something sneaky, and being afraid of being discovered, and being afraid of discovering that others don't care whether you did it or not.

-

Lu Yanhe gets along well with the actors in the crew of "Seventeenth Floor".

Including Li Yuefeng.

This also makes him very willing to stay with the crew of "Seventeenth Floor".

After dinner, everyone dispersed and went home.

Before Lu Yanhe was about to get in the car, he was suddenly stopped by Li Yuefeng.

"Yanhe."

Lu Yanhe looked back in surprise.

Li Yuefeng smiled at him and said, "Is it convenient to talk about it again?"

In fact, when they were having dinner just now, everyone had already talked a lot while toasting.

Lu Yanhe and Li Yuefeng also had a private conversation, and Lu Yanhe didn't know what Li Yuefeng suddenly came to talk to him about at this time.

"Okay." He agreed, "Then let's find a place to sit for a while, or?"

Li Yuefeng said, "There is a teahouse nearby, let's go there to sit?"

Lu Yanhe nodded.

-

The teahouse was quite private, and there were only two of them in the cubicle.

Lu Yanhe got straight to the point and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

"I want to apologize to you. My team did some inappropriate things in the previous publicity." Li Yuefeng said, "In fact, in "The Seventeenth Floor", the contract I signed with the crew was the third role, but the people in my team wanted me to take advantage of this drama, so when promoting it to the outside world, they promoted me as being on par with you. After I found out, I also told them not to do this again in the future. However, what was done before has been done, and it is hard to undo what has been done. I I still feel like I need to tell you something." Lu Yanhe smiled, nodded, and said, "This matter does bother me a bit, but I also believe that Brother Feng, you definitely didn't mean it. In fact, the first, second, and third roles are not that important. I am only the second role, and Sister Bi Ge is the first. However, if a drama becomes popular, all of us actors involved will definitely benefit. There were six main actors in "Friends", and in the end, no one would calculate who was the first and who was the sixth. " Li Yuefeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, "Friends" is simply a miracle, and it has brought out five first-line actors in one go. "

Lu Yanhe said: "I also have the same confidence in "Seventeenth Floor". It is a relatively rare drama in terms of subject matter and type, and with such a strong cast participating, the drama will be a hit, and no one will care who is in the series. "

Li Yuefeng didn't know what to say for a moment.

He went to see Lu Yanhe tonight. The so-called apology for his position was just an introduction. The most important thing was another matter.

But Lu Yanhe's current talk made him a bit confused where to start.

Lu Yanhe took the initiative and asked: "Brother Feng, you should have something else to tell me, right?"

Based on Lu Yanhe's understanding of Li Yuefeng, if Li Yuefeng had such a spirit of introspection, the industry would not be accustomed to his operations and form a widespread understanding.

I guess this is just a way to attract more attention, and the main event is yet to come.

Li Yuefeng nodded hesitantly and said, "One more thing. I heard that you are preparing a costume comedy, "Wulin Gaiden" with Northern Lights Video, right?"

When the news spread, Lu Yanhe didn't feel surprised.

There are basically no projects in this industry that can be completely kept secret.

Lu Yanhe nodded and admitted.

Li Yuefeng said: "I heard from someone that there is a role in it that seems to suit me very well, so I wanted to recommend myself to you and ask for your opinion. How do you think?"

Lu Yanhe asked: "Which role?"

"Bai Zhantang." Li Yuefeng said.

Lu Yanhe pondered for two seconds and said, "That's right, Brother Feng, the first one is that this role already has someone. We have already found Brother Kai Ren. On the other hand, I also think you are not suitable for this role. In terms of appearance, It’s indeed a good match, but although this character can’t be said to be older, there is definitely still a slight age gap with you, and there is also a slight gap in his temperament.”

When Li Yuefeng heard this, a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.

"There are already candidates, which is indeed a pity." He said.

Mainly because the candidate was Huang Kairen, Li Yuefeng was still not so confident that he thought he could compete with Huang Kairen.

And he obviously didn't take what Lu Yanhe said later to heart.

Lu Yanhe smiled at Li Yuefeng and said nothing more.

-

Do we need to consider the compatibility between an actor and a role?

Regarding this issue, Lu Yanhe firmly believes that it is necessary.

Because he himself is an actor who takes advantage of adaptability.

Whether it is "Golden Age" or "Phoenix Stage", in fact, because he himself is very similar to the character, the performance has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

If he hadn't relied on these two dramas to establish a basic understanding of acting, he would certainly not have been able to perform as subversively as "Three Mountains" in the future.

The rice is eaten one bite at a time.

The play also comes from one performance to another.

With a good start, you have built up your acting confidence in a good crew and laid a good foundation. If you act in other dramas later, you will always have to be more familiar with it.

But it seems that many people don't think so.

Li Yuefeng obviously didn't care about the word "inappropriate" he said.

Nothing inappropriate.

It’s just a role, anyone can play it.

Many people think so sincerely.

Including Zheng Huairen and Jiang Zixin.

It’s not that they don’t value the actor’s suitability for the role, but more than that, they care more about whether the actor is well-known and can carry the show.

After Huang Kai was appointed, because Lu Yanhe preferred Xiao Yun for the role of Guo Furong, and Xiao Yun happened to be popular, Northern Lights readily accepted the role.

However, when it came to casting the role of Lu Xiucai, they were reluctant to let He Jiang, who had just graduated from university, play the role.

"He is just a new guy who is extremely new and has no acting experience at all." Jiang Zixin said bluntly, "This is the biggest concern about him within our platform."

"But he is very suitable. At least give him a chance to audition." Lu Yanhe argued rationally, "If you don't find a suitable actor to play the role of Lu Xiucai, he will easily become an unlikable chatterbox and die. Reading nerd."

Jiang Zixin said: "Yan He, let me be honest, if you want He Jiang to play Lu Xiucai, there will be a lot of work to do later."

"No matter how much work there is to do, how about at least holding an audition? In the end, actors have to rely on their strength to speak for themselves."

"You have to know that it is impossible to find stars to play the two roles of Li Dazui and Mo Xiaobei. There are no well-known actors suitable for their two roles." Jiang Zixin said, "In this case, if you let a just-in-time actor If a college graduate plays such a key role as Lu Xiucai, even if his acting skills are amazing, it will be difficult to convince our senior management."

"Then tell me which of your senior executives needs convincing, and I'll do the talking." Lu Yanhe said, "I have met He Jiang several times. Every time I meet him, I feel more and more that he is suitable for the role of Lu Xiucai."

Jiang Zixin didn't expect Lu Yanhe to be so stubborn.

"What about the role of Shopkeeper Tong?" Jiang Zixin asked, "You said Zhen Hongyu was inappropriate before, but in ancient times, it was very common for a widow who lost her father to be only in her early twenties. This is really not an inappropriate reason, right? "

Lu Yanhe said: "The key is not age, but the sense of age. She has a teenage sister-in-law, and she must have a sense of resentment and humor, a young woman's charm, and be able to deal with people coming and going. Zhen Hongyu looks like a fresh graduate. Do you think this image and temperament are suitable?"

Jiang Zixin: "Who do you think is suitable?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I don't think anyone is suitable for the time being."

"How about this, then take out all these roles and hold an audition." Jiang Zixin said, "As long as the role has not been determined, you can audition, and we can also promote "Wulin Wai Zhuan" in advance."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"There is one more thing. Captain Xing will be played by Mr. Jiang Jun, but we all heard that his health is not very good. What if he has a problem in the middle of filming and goes to the hospital--"

Lu Yanhe said: "First, Mr. Jiang Jun's health has long been recovered, and the hospital said that he is fine. Second, if there is a problem, I am also in the crew, and I can adjust the script at any time."

Jiang Zixin nodded, "Then I will communicate with the higher-ups."

-

Perhaps because of the constant communication with different people during this period, Lu Yanhe himself realized that his words became a little "aggressive" and even "decisive" and "speaking one thing".

But if he doesn't do this, it seems difficult to stick to his ideas.

In the matter of content creation, being unsteady and indecisive means being pushed by other people's opinions.

If it weren't for the fact that it would be difficult to stick to his ideas if he didn't do this, he wouldn't want to become like this.

"Have you ever considered that your ideas may not be all right?"

"I know, of course, I also know that my ideas may not be all right." Lu Yanhe nodded and admitted, "But since I expressed my ideas at that time, and you didn't convince me, why didn't I believe myself, but turned around and believed you?"

Li Zhibai, who was stared at by Lu Yanhe, raised his hands in surrender.

"You are right."

Lu Yanhe's expression, which was still unwavering a second ago, was deflated in the next second.

"Why do I feel like I have acquired Zhou Ping'an's bad habit of being self-righteous?"

"How normal is this? In this world, you think you are right, and I think I am right. Before the results come out, no one can convince anyone. After more than ten or twenty years, the results will tell you and me who is right." Li Zhibai said, "Then Zhou Ping'an firmly believes that his way of managing artists is the right way, and other managers who are different from him are wrong and fools, right?"

Lu Yanhe: "But when the results come out, won't many things be too late and unable to be corrected?"

Li Zhibai nodded.

"Don't we all hold the belief that we are the one who wins in the end, so we can persist."

"As for whether we can win in the end, as you said, you can only stick to what you think is right and move forward. If you don't go to the end, you don't know."

Lu Yanhe picked up the glass, took a sip of wine, and smiled.

Li Zhibai stood up and stroked Lu Yanhe's head.

"You're so young, you're thinking about so many things, aren't you afraid of losing your hair."

"Heh."

"I'll get some squid strips, do you want something else?"

"Broad beans, thank you."

"Where are the broad beans?"

"Yan Liang bought them, and put them in the small drawer on the second layer on the right side of the refrigerator."

Lu Yanhe lay down on the floor, looking at the dazzling chandelier light, thinking, thinking again, and then he pouted.

Why think so much, aren't you afraid of losing your hair?
