Chapter 1005: Side Story: Big Explosion

There is also a "Side Story: Yan Liang" in front, which can be found in the directory.

The global box office of *Speed of Life and Death* finally landed at 410 million US dollars.

Big explosion.

Parameter is busy developing a sequel.

Lu Yan He clearly stated that he would no longer write the sequel script, and if Parameter could come up with a good idea, he could authorize it and serve as a script consultant.

Parameter was already familiar with Lu Yan He's temperament. They didn't intend to try to persuade Lu Yan He to write the sequel again and immediately started looking for screenwriters in the industry.

Before that, Parameter tried to sign the sequel performance contracts with Yan Liang and Lily Williams first, but neither of them agreed.

They both demanded that the script come out first.

A big explosion work with a global box office of 400 million US dollars, and the charm of the two protagonists' characters was fully endowed to the two actors.

Their popularity and commercial value rushed up like a rocket.

Especially Lily Williams, who was already the most promising young actress in Hollywood's new generation.

Last year, she won a miraculous box office figure with *The Notebook*, creating a new record for romance movies in the past ten years, and this year, she showed another kind of female charm in *Speed of Life and Death*.

Since meeting Lu Yan He in *The Mist*, relying on these two movies, she has completely exploded.

At this time, Linghe officially announced the news of Yan Liang starring in the *The Matrix* trilogy after Lu Yan He's Weibo post, and an official poster was also released.

At the same time, Linghe also wrote in this official press release: The project is in contact with several film companies and will choose the most suitable film company to jointly produce and distribute this movie.

Sharp people have already realized one thing—

Linghe has officially begun to enter the production and distribution of Hollywood big-budget projects.

In the past, Linghe was mainly focused on content production or joint production, and distribution was not involved at all.

This time, it is clear that other companies competing for this project have to take out the cake of distribution to share with Linghe.

A film trilogy written by Lu Yan He and starring Yan Liang, such a project is enough to move those capitalists who refuse to loosen their mouths with "rules cannot be messed with."

From Li Zhibai's *The Fast and the Furious* series to Yan Liang's *The Matrix* series, Lu Yan He's blockbuster plan was put on the agenda at an incredible speed.

The circle of agents is surging, and actors are secretly competing, all wanting to grab a role from it.

Not to mention anything else, being able to connect with Lu Yan He and Linghe because of this is also good.

Actress Jiang Yue, who does not belong to Linghe or Shihu's signed artists, only because she played the second female lead in *Oh My Sea*, connected with Linghe because of this movie, and after that, she almost appeared in Linghe's film and television projects every year.

A small actor in an unknown company embarked on a career uptrend and became the heroine of major projects.

Some familiar producers and directors couldn't refuse human relationships and recommended people to Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He's approach was very simple, no matter who recommended them, including Yan Liang himself who recommended an actor he had collaborated with several times, they all had to participate in an interview or audition first to see their performance in a round.

Of course, their opinions would also be referenced.

This is a bonus item.

Lu Yan He said to Yan Liang: "For the *The Matrix* trilogy, I still hope you can serve as a producer. Of course, I won't let you put a lot of energy into this, but this is a good learning opportunity. How such a big project is made, there are many things to learn here."

Yan Liang said okay.

He said: "*Speed of Life and Death* was too successful. I have experienced the success of *Friends*, *Gold Rush*, and *Flypaper* before, but none of them brought me as much feedback and influence as *Speed of Life and Death*. Now I can receive three movie scripts a day, it's too exaggerated. I never thought there were so many movie scripts looking for actors." "That's just it, it's not easy for one out of ten scripts to be filmed in the end." Lu Yan He said, "The reason for this is that your character in *Speed of Life and Death* fully excavated another side of you as an actor. Before, your characters were not the kind with great charm. *Speed of Life and Death* is different. A lot of effort was put into the attractiveness and charm of the character."

"Did you tailor it for me?"

"Sort of." Lu Yan He said, "Anyway, when I wrote it at the end, I wrote it entirely according to your image."

Yan Liang nodded.

"No wonder."

Lu Yan He: "*The Matrix* is actually the same, and this character is more suitable for you."

"Ah?"

"You have been learning martial arts for several years. In this trilogy, you will have enough fun fighting." Lu Yan He said, "The combination of science fiction and martial arts actions will be cooler than *Speed of Life and Death*. I am already looking for a martial arts instructor to design the actions."

Yan Liang: "You say that, making me look forward to it too much."

"By the way—" Lu Yan He suddenly remembered something, "The media is talking about your scandal with Lily, it didn't affect the private relationship between the two of you, right?"

Yan Liang: "We two haven't talked about this, but Parameter communicated with our agency team before and said hello. We also expected this situation to happen, so, it's okay."

Lu Yan He: "……So, there really is nothing between the two of you?"

"……" Yan Liang looked at Lu Yan He speechlessly, "You believe it too? No way?"

"I don't believe it, I'm looking forward to it." Lu Yan He said, "Because both of you are my friends, and you are both very good people, I look forward to you two having some sparks."

Yan Liang: "……I haven't thought about it in that direction."

Lu Yan He: "Then what do you think of her?"

"Alright, shut up." Yan Liang shook his head, "I don't want to talk to you about this."

Lu Yan He: "Are you shy?"

"Shy your ghost."

"Really shy." Lu Yan He nodded seriously, "Didn't expect it."

Yan Liang: "……"

He said: "I have to film *Friends* later, I have to film that fictional character movie, and I have to film the *The Matrix* trilogy, where do I have time to fall in love?"

"The key to falling in love is passion, it's adrenaline, not time." Lu Yan He said decisively.

"When are you and Chen Siqi going to have a baby?" Yan Liang asked suddenly.

"What the hell?" Lu Yan He was taken aback.

"I see you are still not busy enough, having a child is enough to keep you busy, don't be idle to manage these things." Yan Liang complained.

Lu Yan He: "……" ===== CHAPTER 1006 =====
