Chapter 310: He Believes in His Own Vision (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

The performance agreement Lu Yan He signed with *Sanshan* certainly did not include cooperating with the crew for publicity.

He was originally just a guest appearance, and he was the only popular star in this movie. Going to guest star was to help, and it was impossible to sign some mandatory clauses.

But this time at the Xitu'er Film Festival, Lu Yan He's performance was highly praised and had great influence.

Moreover, Lu Yan He himself was the biggest star in *Sanshan*.

In the matter of film publicity, how big the role of a star is, there is no need to repeat. Although the argument that "films cannot sell at the box office by relying on stars" often appears on the internet now, no one in the industry is a fool. If a film can sell at a high box office without spending millions to invite stars to act, who would be willing to spend this money.

Wang Zhong wanted to invite Lu Yan He to join the publicity of *Sanshan*, which was also out of consideration for this aspect.

However, Lu Yan He had to go to class and had to film *Late Spring*. Roadshows were simply impossible to consider. After final negotiation, he could only take out one afternoon to attend the premiere of the film held in Yuming.

*Sanshan* won the Best Director Award from the Xitu'er Film Festival, making Wang Zhong the second Chinese director to win this award at the Xitu'er Film Festival.

Wang Zhong and Zheng Ling's box office expectations for *Sanshan* also rose a lot.

Originally, such a "stream of consciousness" film would at most get a box office of 10 million. Being able to get so much in the theater chain is all because Wang Zhong is already a well-known director and has his fixed fans. But having a big award is indeed different. This award can further open up the popularity of *Sanshan*, and it can attract more audiences to the cinema to watch this film.

Lu Yan He acted as a bridge and invited Wang Zhong to the forum organized by the Youth Association to share his director life with the students of Zhenhua.

Wang Zhong, who won the Best Director Award at the Xitu'er Film Festival, will leap to become one of the top directors in China after this battle. This is the blessing effect of top awards. He was invited to Zhenhua to share, which is a proof. People who have not reached the top position in their field will not be invited by the Youth Association.

The three protagonists of *Sanshan* have appeared frequently in various activities during this period.

Their exposure in Xitu'er, and becoming famous through this film, from now on, they also have representative works, and the road ahead will be much easier to walk. It's just that for them, it's a bit awkward that as the protagonists of this film, they are not the most watched actors in this film. Lu Yan He, who only came to guest star for one night, has a momentum comparable to Director Wang Zhong who just won an award.

At this time, the nomination list for the new Honghe Awards came out.

Lu Yan He, who starred in *Phoenix Terrace*, once again entered the nomination list for Best Supporting Actor.

Two years after debut, two plays, two nominations.

Lu Yan He's acting talent has been proven again and again.

"Why is there no Lang Xia?" He Yingzi communicated with Huangcheng in disbelief, "The role of Lang Xia was also widely praised when it was broadcast? Why didn't he enter the nomination list?"

Huangcheng said: "I am not a judge in the nomination link, how would I know why he didn't enter the nomination list?"

He Yingzi was a little angry and said: "You are still saying this in front of me! This Honghe Award, *Phoenix Terrace* is the drama with the most nominations. Don't they collect your opinions when making the nomination list?"

Huangcheng looked at her with disgust and said: "Yingzi, you should be careful with your words. Are you accusing this nomination list of being rigged?"

He Yingzi: "How these domestic awards are, don't I know?"

"Since you think you know what's going on, you can operate it yourself. Why do you come to me to ask why?" Huangcheng was too lazy to talk to He Yingzi so much, "In this drama, who performed better, Lu Yan He or Lang Xia, don't you have a clue in your heart? If you don't have a clue in your heart, why don't you go see what people on the internet are saying."

If it weren't for being a bit annoyed by He Yingzi during this time, Huangcheng wouldn't have such a bad attitude towards He Yingzi.

He Yingzi has always wanted to use *Phoenix Terrace* to PR a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Lang Xia. However, although Lang Xia did perform well in this drama and became famous because of the role of the Commandery Prince, and was known by many people, when it comes to acting skills, to win an award, it is still far from enough.

Just the complexity of the role is not enough.

The guard played by Lu Yan He has a huge contrast and turning point, from forbearance in the early stage to explosion in the later stage, all of which contributed many so-called famous scenes. On the other hand, he is not acting in a state, but acting as a character. Just this point alone kills many supporting actors in the play. Even many male actors in their thirties and forties don't understand this point.

Huangcheng and Chen Lingling didn't PR this award for Lu Yan He at all, and Jingtai didn't even have it. Lu Yan He could enter the nomination list, even they didn't expect it. Mainly because Lu Yan He was shortlisted once last year with *Golden Age*, they all thought that the three major awards would not let Lu Yan He enter the nomination list so quickly. Unexpectedly, the result was unexpected. His performance directly moved the judges, and without minding the fact that Lu Yan He was just nominated last year, they gave him a nomination again.

He Yingzi also realized that her attitude was a bit urgent.

She immediately made up for it and said: "I didn't mean that, it's just that Yan He already won the Golden Tripod Award last year, and it's impossible to win an award this year. The three major awards will not give such a young actor a nomination for two consecutive years. Lang Xia really needs a nomination to prove his strength. Brother Cheng, please help us."

Huangcheng really couldn't stand He Yingzi's tone of pretending to be aggrieved and low-key.

"This is not something we can control. Lu Yan He getting the nomination is not our effort!" Huangcheng finished speaking with a burst of anger and left.

Just as he got into the car and drove out of the parking lot, Chen Lingling called him to communicate about *Blood Jade*, which will start filming in April.

"The role of Liu Lang, why don't we let Lang Xia try it." Chen Lingling said.

Liu Lang is a role with not a small amount of scenes in *Blood Jade*, and they have been looking for actors before.

Generally speaking, Huangcheng would not raise objections to the actors proposed by Chen Lingling, but this time he said very impolitely: "Lang Xia has become popular recently, and it is estimated that there is no schedule, and the pay has also risen. He may not be willing to come and act in such a supporting role."

Chen Lingling heard the words, "Also, then let's look at other actors."

Huangcheng said: "I saw the news of Lu Yan He at the Xitu'er Film Festival before. I think the young actor Chen Jiang who acted with him in *Sanshan* is quite suitable in appearance. Why don't we look at him?"

"Okay, then you find him, let's look at it." Chen Lingling said, "The actor's matter cannot be delayed. *Blood Jade* must be finished in July, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the next play. The arrangement this year is a bit busy."

"Well, rest assured, I will control the shooting progress and will not exceed the period."

After filming *Blood Jade*, Chen Lingling will film the suspense crime film in cooperation with streaming media.

The shooting time of the two plays is almost one after another.

Huangcheng also said: "On the Honghe Award side, Yan He was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor unit. Why don't we ask him if he wants to walk the red carpet with us?"

"Okay." Chen Lingling said.

"I plan to reveal the news on the day of the Honghe Award ceremony that Lu Yan He and Ceng Qiao will cooperate with you again in a new drama." Huangcheng said, "In this way, we can also attract everyone's attention to the greatest extent."

This time, Lu Yan He and Ceng Qiao were both nominated for performance awards.

They will both attend the Honghe Award ceremony.

And Chen Lingling will cooperate with them in the next play.

Huangcheng didn't want to miss such a free but high-exposure publicity opportunity.

"By the way, did *Friends* not get any nominations this time?"

"No." Huangcheng said, "Although the ratings are high and the topic is high, mainstream awards still don't recognize sitcoms. There is not a single nomination."

"It's a pity. This drama is still shot well, especially the script written by Little Lu. It's unreasonable not to nominate for the Best Screenplay Award."

"Little Lu is still very young, there will be many opportunities in the future, the future is long, no need to worry."

"Plays like *Friends* are hard to come by." Chen Lingling said.

*Phoenix Terrace* was so popular when it was broadcast, but it was still a bit short of a big explosion.

Unlike *Friends* broadcast later, the discussion degree that attracted the attention of almost everyone around was incomparable.

Chen Lingling herself is a director, and she knows best that this grand occasion cannot be copied just by saying it.

Huangcheng smiled and said: "Why don't we make an appointment with Little Lu for a script."

"People may not have time to write scripts for us now. Forget it, don't trouble him. We have two more plays to film ourselves. After filming these two plays this year, next year's time will have to be invested in the post-production of these two plays." Chen Lingling said, "If you want to film a new play, it will be the year after next at the earliest."

"That's true."

Being shortlisted for the Honghe Awards for the second consecutive year, as well as the high praise from foreign media for Lu Yan He in *Sanshan*, have invisibly gilded Lu Yan He's acting skills again.

Acting skills are a matter of opinion. For the audience, it is entirely a matter of heart.

But when everyone wants to talk about these things, they always have to find some solid evidence.

This is the evidence.

From solid data, if anyone wants to say that Lu Yan He's acting skills are not good, they will be fiercely countered with these actual achievements.

Lu Yan He had lunch with Chen Ziyan, and Wen Minglan was also there.

Chen Ziyan said: "Because Lang Xia didn't get the Honghe Award nomination, He Yingzi is looking for people everywhere, saying that the producer is biased, valuing you but not valuing Lang Xia. Hehe, with the praise of these foreign media at the Xitu'er Film Festival for you, no one will believe her words."

Wen Minglan said indifferently: "Lang Xia's performance in *Phoenix Terrace* can at most be said to be good, passing. Isn't it normal that he didn't get a nomination? What's there to say? Even if you say more, will the Honghe Award add him to the nomination list?"

"Creating momentum." Chen Ziyan said, "There is no play for the Honghe Award, and there are the Golden Tripod Award and the Blue Ribbon Award later."

Wen Minglan rolled her eyes.

She is essentially a girl with a forest-like and literary style. Rolling her eyes is also very agile. Rolling her eyes is also because she is really impatient with this move on Lang Xia's side.

*Friends* just finished broadcasting not long ago. Wen Minglan became famous overnight because of this drama and absorbed countless fans. Chen Ziyan is also an incomparably capable agent. She didn't let go of this sky-high popularity at all, letting Wen Minglan have a public activity every week on average, or commercial performances, or variety shows, or fashion activities, sending a hot search to Wen Minglan every week, letting her appear in the eyes of the audience from time to time.

Originally, during the broadcast of *Friends*, the most popular actress was Zhan Yun who played Li Lili.

But Zhan Yun's agency is a small company, and the management team is not strong. In terms of maintaining exposure and popularity, it is far inferior to Chen Ziyan's resources and capabilities.

Up to now, Wen Minglan is the one who has stabilized her popularity and popularity among the three actresses.

Of course, it's only been a month or two, and there is no obvious gap.

Chen Ziyan told Wen Minglan: "You must cherish this opportunity well when you get a role in Director Chen Lingling's new drama this time, you know? Don't be perfunctory because it's a small supporting role. Learn well and act well."

Wen Minglan nodded.

"The other actors in *Friends* have all received leading roles later, but I didn't take them for you. We don't lack leading roles to act, but what we lack is truly big productions and truly good teams." Chen Ziyan broke these things down and told Wen Minglan, "The second season of *Friends* will be filmed later. You don't have to worry about your popularity slipping. Take advantage of the current popularity and popularity to grasp better performance opportunities, so that you can go to the next level in the future."

An agent's vision is different, and the impact on artists is also different.

Like Zhan Yun and Bai Jin, after *Friends* became popular, their management teams immediately took a leading role for them, with high pay and popular male actors as partners.

Yan Liang and Yin Xincheng are the same.

Only Chen Ziyan, picking and choosing, took Director Chen Lingling's *Blood Jade* for Wen Minglan.

Wen Minglan really didn't mind at all in her heart.

Mainly because Lu Yan He was just nominated for the Honghe Award because of the supporting role in *Phoenix Terrace*.

Who would think that acting as a supporting role in Chen Lingling's play is a bad thing at this time.

Wen Minglan looked at Lu Yan He again and asked: "However, Yan He, is it really impossible for you to come back to act in the second season of *Friends*?"

Lu Yan He looked at her and asked with a smile: "They wouldn't have asked you to be a lobbyist, right?"

Wen Minglan sighed.

"I don't know if they were joking, they mentioned it to me, if I can invite you back, they will give me a pay of 2 million per episode." Wen Minglan said, "I don't care about these, I just... hope you can return to the second season. We finally made the first season so successful when no one was optimistic."

"I won't return." Lu Yan He said, "However, there are other plans later. At that time, *Friends* may not be able to reunite in another form."

Wen Minglan was stunned. She didn't know what Lu Yan He meant by another form, but no matter what form it was, it couldn't be the original form of *Friends*.

This is somewhat disappointing.

However, Wen Minglan understood Lu Yan He's decision.

Also understood.

"Will the film *Late Spring* be finished before April?" Wen Minglan asked, "*Blood Jade* will start filming in April, it will be difficult to squeeze the schedule at that time."

"Don't worry about this." Chen Ziyan said, "I will coordinate it well. The role you have in *Late Spring* doesn't have many scenes, so it's easy to coordinate on both sides."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"Now Liu Bige is still changing the script, there are still some unsatisfactory places, wait." Lu Yan He said, "This script is not complicated, maybe your scenes will be finished in a few days."

Many people have a preconceived impression, such as films are more advanced than TV series, and similarly, film production is more refined than TV series. In fact, of course, this is not the case. Many films are shot in only ten days or half a month, and they can still produce high-quality products.

A film is just two hours, and the material it needs is just that much. The key is how you shoot it.

*Late Spring* is basically a story about adolescence, a story that happened in a summer cram school, talking about the confusion of several teenagers. Put into Chen Lingling's TV series, it might just be the volume of one or two episodes.

Lu Yan He doesn't know how Liu Bige will shoot it, but it is definitely not complicated.

After eating, Lu Yan He returned to school.

Rarely, this semester, there are only two compulsory courses and one elective course in total. Throughout the week, there are only three courses. Lu Yan He has never been so relaxed and leisurely.

Seeing Lu Yan He, who has been in the limelight recently, appear on campus, other students have already been used to it, at most looking at him a few more times.

No matter how popular he is outside, for them, Lu Yan He has slowly become a classmate who just has a star status, looks good, and has great fame. For everyone, they will like to look at him a few more times, and apart from that, there is nothing else.

Back in the dormitory, Lu Yan He saw Mao Jiayang lifting dumbbells again.

"Why do I see you lifting dumbbells every time I come back recently?" Lu Yan He asked in surprise.

Mao Jiayang said: "Exercise, muscle gain."

Lu Yan He looked at Mao Jiayang's two thick biceps and wanted to say that your muscles are already very strong.

Mao Jiayang is the only one in their dormitory who insists on fitness.

"Don't you have class today?"

"No." Lu Yan He shook his head, "There are very few classes this semester."

Mao Jiayang: "Oh, right, also."

"Why didn't you go to accompany Li Xiao?" Lu Yan He asked curiously.

Ever since Mao Jiayang and Li Xiao were together, Mao Jiayang basically stuck with Li Xiao.

Mao Jiayang said sullenly: "She has to go to class. I originally wanted to accompany her, but she refused."

"Why?" Lu Yan He was a little curious.

Although they are studying different majors, the teacher won't say anything if he accompanies Li Xiao to class.

Many classes have students from other majors to audit, which is not rare.

Mao Jiayang smiled awkwardly and said: "She thinks I always disturb her and delay her listening to the class."

"What did you do?" Lu Yan He asked in surprise.

Mao Jiayang waved his hand, "Nothing, nothing."

A look of guilty conscience.

Lu Yan He: "..."

Mao Jiayang asked: "How are you and Chen Siqi?"

"What how are you?" Lu Yan He asked.

Mao Jiayang looked at him with eyebrows and eyes, and asked: "What step have you reached?"

Lu Yan He turned around silently.

Mao Jiayang looked at him like this and asked in surprise: "You guys wouldn't have not yet—"

"Stop!" Lu Yan He hurriedly called to stop, "Don't discuss this topic in the future."

Mao Jiayang immediately laughed teasingly.

"Lu Yan He, you wouldn't still be a virgin, right?"

Lu Yan He's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he didn't say another word.

Some things, although he knew long ago, he really hadn't done.

Mainly because there was no such opportunity.

In the evening, Liu Bige and Miao Yue came to Zhenhua together and ate with Lu Yan He in the canteen, just in time to discuss the shooting of the film *Late Spring*.

Liu Bige said: "For this film, we just found a school in Yuming and are ready to shoot there. Every scene has been seen. How are you prepared here?"

"Can shoot at any time." Lu Yan He said, "Only the night of the Honghe Award ceremony, and the premiere of *Sanshan* in Yuming, these two days are not okay."

Liu Bige: "This doesn't matter, we will shoot other people's scenes at that time. After tossing for so long, we can finally start shooting *Late Spring*."

"Yeah." Lu Yan He smiled, "I have acted in so many plays, and suddenly looking back to act as a high school student, this feeling is a bit strange."

Liu Bige: "What's strange about this, you look like a high school student now."

Lu Yan He: "I'm not talking about this, it's the mentality. I read the script and always easily remembered the things when I was in high school. This story, sigh, it's too regrettable."

"Do you like this story?" Miao Yue asked.

"Very like." Lu Yan He said, "I have never acted in a film with a theme of youth growth. This is the first time. Even Sister Ziyan told me that such a role closest to myself was only acted when I was a sophomore."

Miao Yue: "When I wrote this story, I didn't expect it to be made into a film one day."

Liu Bige said: "The actors of this film, except for you and Wen Minglan who came to guest star, are all newcomers. I have been training them for a long time. When we start shooting, you should lead them more."

"Lead them?" Lu Yan He was surprised, "I'm only a sophomore, how can I lead them?"

"They are all authentic students who have just graduated from high school, only you are a sophomore." Liu Bige said.

Lu Yan He was stunned, "Ah?"

"Yeah, except for you and Wen Minglan, they are all freshmen in acting school." Liu Bige said.

The actors were chosen one by one by Liu Bige.

Lu Yan He didn't know these things in the early stage, he only participated in the script link.

"How are they?"

"Miao Yue and I chose for a long time, and finally chose the actors who best fit these characters in the script in our hearts."

"Then when will you let me see them?" Lu Yan He said, "The play is about to start, and we haven't seen each other yet."

Liu Bige nodded.

"But I hope you don't see them too many times." Liu Bige said, "I plan to shoot this play in the order of the script."

Many plays, because of scenes and actor schedules, are not shot from the first scene in the order of the script. Some plays are shot directly at the finale as soon as they come up, and some plays are shot from the middle. Some crews are still shooting two people as close as brothers in the morning, and start killing each other in the afternoon.

Actors whose own skills are not good, in this switching of different states and emotions, cannot find an anchor point, and will act inaccurately.

Compared with this shooting method, shooting in order is of course more conducive to actors to figure out and enter the character state.

After acting scene by scene, many moods naturally arrive.

Liu Bige said: "The story of *Late Spring* is about several high school students meeting in a summer cram school, from strangers to knowing each other. I want to use sequential shooting to shoot this film, and also let you shoot from the stranger stage to the familiar stage. In this play, except for you, everyone's acting skills are not very skilled. In fact, they are all acting by feeling and talent. Therefore, the less acting, the better, and the more real situations can be established, the better."

Lu Yan He understood Liu Bige's meaning, nodded, and said okay.

That is, before the official start, the actors should try not to be familiar with each other and reduce contact.

Only in this way, when they start acting when they meet, that kind of strangeness is the most real.

"Then why don't I not see them first."

"Also okay." Liu Bige nodded.

This is also what he hopes for.

Lu Yan He also doesn't know what Liu Bige's style is when he is a director on the set.

He only hopes that Liu Bige is really a talented and capable director, not an empty shelf.

He made up his mind to star in such a low-cost youth growth theme literary film *Late Spring*, which is not easy for him and Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yan He will act, one is because he likes this script, and the other is because during the time he has been dealing with Liu Bige, he thinks Liu Bige is a very talented and thoughtful person. He wants to be a director, and he wants him, Lu Yan He, to act in this film, and he is willing to support him.

But in the final analysis, Liu Bige is a newcomer director who has never independently directed a film, and Lu Yan He is also cooperating with a newcomer director for the first time.

Before this, he cooperated with big directors like Luo Yuzhong, Chen Lingling, Wang Zhong, Lian Bei, and Bai Jingnian who had rich or beautiful resumes.

Lu Yan He said he was not nervous, which is fake.

These anxieties and nervousness, he buried in his heart and would not expose them to Liu Bige.

He is not willing to add pressure to Liu Bige at this time—about to start, Liu Bige's pressure at this moment is the greatest.

Lu Yan He repeatedly warned himself that since he made a decision, he should not question his decision, nor would he repeatedly doubt whether his decision was right or wrong.

Next, he will do one thing well, cooperate with Liu Bige, and act well in the film *Late Spring*!

He believes in his own vision. ===== CHAPTER 311 =====
