Chapter 318: Let go

As he acted in more and more plays, Lu Yan He also liked to act with actors with good acting skills more and more.

The other party's good acting skills can also give him better stimulation.

A person's solo play is good-looking, but the good-looking of the rival play is also irreplaceable by the solo play.

A very simple conflict on the dinner table, Lu Yan He walked the play with the two teachers Chen Yinghui and Jiang Biyu, and almost every line was deliberating.

"Little Lu is stubborn with me, my first reaction is to draw him a big mouth," Chen Yinghui said. "Biyu, at this time I move my arm, don't wait for my hand to lift, you press me as soon as I have an action."

Jiang Biyu understood Chen Yinghui's meaning in seconds. "Yeah, old husband and wife for more than twenty years, I know what you are going to do with one look. No, it should be Little Lu's reaction, I know what your next reaction is, so the action must be faster."

When these two were deliberating the play, Liu Bige didn't interrupt, just hugged his arms and listened on the side.

"Little Lu, your eyes with me still have to be topped," Chen Yinghui said to Lu Yan He again.

"I am full of temper with you here, shouldn't I top it?" Lu Yan He was a little confused.

Chen Yinghui said: "If you really topped it like that, not afraid of me at all, wouldn't you have exposed the fact that you saw me cheating long ago? Why are you still sulking in the dark?"

Lu Yan He reacted.

"You mean, I am still a little afraid of you, this father, in the final analysis."

"If it weren't for this, other scenes wouldn't be established," Chen Yinghui said.

Lu Yan He: "I still feel that I am not so afraid of you at this time."

"This fear has a distinction. Some fear is specific fear. For example, I am very fierce to you usually, manage strictly, you are afraid when you see me. And some fear is the natural father-son relationship between me and you. In the context of the whole society, the son has a natural fear when facing the old man. The authority of the old man is established since childhood," Chen Yinghui said. "You dare to top me, it is the fear of the former disappeared, but you didn't dare to lift it directly with a basin. One is not wanting your mother to know, and the other is the natural fear of the latter. In short, it is having a soft rib, having scruples."

Lu Yan He showed a sudden realization.

Officially started filming. Lu Yan He's entire performance was much richer. On the dinner table, Lu Yan He's eyes were no longer back and forth between him and Chen Yinghui, but had practical reactions, all subconscious details.

For example, when he was tit-for-tat with Chen Yinghui, he would subconsciously look at his mother again, and then put away a look of swallowing his anger.

For example, when Chen Yinghui's emotions became intense, he would subconsciously look to the side, or look directly at the table, avoiding Chen Yinghui's eyes.

"All are plays," Liu Bige sat behind the monitor and couldn't help but praise. "Look, Lu Yan He was also in the character state before, the feeling was right, but the effect was not as good as this scene. The reaction of this scene is like a tenon and mortise, perfectly aligned."

Miao Yue asked him, "Don't they all say that as long as the character state is right, how to act is right?"

"These are all nonsense," Liu Bige said. "For professional actors, it is not difficult to enter the character state, but it is really difficult to let the audience also empathize into the character state. Acting, acting, do you really think that as long as you experience it, you don't need technology?"

After this scene was filmed, Lu Yan He came in from outside the house, and every pore of his whole body was trembling—there was a sense of excitement of having acted enough.

"The feeling of this take is very different," he said to the two teachers Chen Yinghui and Jiang Biyu.

Liu Bige walked over and said: "This take is not bad, but come again."

"Ah?" Lu Yan He was stunned, looking at Liu Bige in a daze. "Is my acting just now not good?"

"Acting is okay," Liu Bige nodded. "But I think you can be better."

Lu Yan He: "..."

Chen Yinghui and Jiang Biyu both smiled and didn't say anything, still accompanying Lu Yan He to continue acting.

This scene Chen Yinghui is relatively better, Jiang Biyu almost just acted with them father and son.

But even so, she invested 100% state in every take, and acted an ordinary mother into the wood.

The switching and changes of several eyes made her character stand very firmly.

When Lu Yan He acted, most of his attention was on Chen Yinghui. He went to the monitor to see the material just filmed, and realized that Jiang Biyu didn't idle for a moment when he and Chen Yinghui were confronting each other. The changes in expression and the back and forth of eyes firmly controlled the balance of the whole picture, adding a bit of relaxation to the originally sword-drawn picture.

Liu Bige let the three of them film two more takes before giving up.

Lu Yan He couldn't help but ask: "Are the two takes behind better than the previous ones?"

Liu Bige shook his head: "No."

"Then why always let us reshoot?" Lu Yan He asked.

Liu Bige smiled and said: "Want to see if I can give better ones. The few of you actors gathered together, the play smashed out is more exciting than I expected. Originally thought it was an ordinary lens, a passing scene, it was acted full of play sense by you, so I raised the expectations, and the expectations are getting higher and higher."

Jiang Biyu smiled and said to Lu Yan He: "Don't ask him, the director is like this, always greedy, filmed a good one, and wants a better one, until he finds that he really can't squeeze better from you, he is willing to give up."

Lu Yan He: "..."

He exchanged contact information with the two teachers Chen Yinghui and Jiang Biyu.

"Acting this scene with you two today taught me a lot, thank you two teachers," Lu Yan He bowed to them.

Jiang Biyu held Lu Yan He's face with both hands and patted it gently, just like a mother treating her child.

"You child, what is there to be polite with us two."

Chen Yinghui smiled and said: "Jiang Jun has praised us I don't know how many times, you kid has an understanding of acting, and it is true when I see it today."

Teacher Jiang Jun!

Lu Yan He showed a sudden realization.

It turns out there is this layer of reason in it.

On the way to see Director Wang Zhong, Lu Yan He said this to Chen Ziyan with great emotion.

Chen Ziyan smiled and said: "The entertainment industry is like this, big is big, small is small, it is a circle, so I usually tell you, try to be kind to others, make more good relationships, no one knows when a person you have made a good relationship with will help you."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Walking all the way here, Lu Yan He is hard-working enough, but he has indeed relied on the help of many people.

Without Jiang Yuqian's recommendation, he couldn't act in Luo Yuzhong's *Golden Age*.

Without Luo Yuzhong's recommendation, he couldn't act in Chen Lingling's *Phoenix Terrace*.

Without Chen Lingling's *Phoenix Terrace*, Wang Zhong wouldn't think of finding him to cameo as the fortune teller in *Sanshan*.

Many things are strung together like this, one ring after another.

Lu Yan He said to Chen Ziyan: "The longer I am an actor, the more I feel that the entertainment industry I saw before is actually just a very superficial world. The stars we know are just the most eye-catching group of people in this world. Besides them, there are actors like Teacher Jiang Jun who are not famous but equally powerful."

"This line of actors, fighting for the morning and evening is useless, to fight for fine water flowing long," Chen Ziyan said. "There have been many popular actors who were popular for a while, but they all curtained early. Instead, actors like Jiang Jun, they have been steadily fighting in this line, no one knows when they will be popular. Chen Jiping and Zhang Zhiwen are actors who have emerged in the past few years and became popular overnight. Before being popular, they also experienced ten or twenty years of hibernation and silence."

In Chen Ziyan's eyes, Lu Yan He became famous at a young age, experienced overnight popularity, and also experienced the expiration of popularity. This is Lu Yan He's most precious experience. With such experience, can Lu Yan He have his current rationality and self-end, not arrogant or impatient.

Lu Yan He asked: "How is Teacher Jiang's body recovering?"

"It has almost returned to normal, but many people are worried that he has not fully recovered, afraid that he will recur, and dare not find him to act, afraid that he will not be able to act halfway," Chen Ziyan said and sighed.

Lu Yan He frowned slightly.

"It's fine to have such worries before, now that half a year has passed, why do they still say that?"

Chen Ziyan didn't speak.

Lu Yan He said: "The script for the first five episodes of *Squid Game*, hasn't Beijiguang Video given feedback yet?"

"Not yet, I guess they are also waiting for the market reaction of *Seventeen Layers*. However, if we are willing to sign that cooperation agreement with Beijiguang, their evaluation of the *Squid Game* script should be prioritized," Chen Ziyan said. "What do you think? You have considered long-term cooperation with Beijiguang Video for a period of time, what do you think?"

Lu Yan He said: "Sister Ziyan, I have thought about it for a long time, mainly wanting to make the cooperation with Beijiguang Video simpler. I don't want their capital injection, nor do I want to make the cooperation terms so complicated. The more complicated, the more constraints. Of course, I am willing to cooperate with them for a long time, but acting is acting, screenwriting is screenwriting, these are two things."

"If you strip these two identities, the conditions Beijiguang promised to give us will definitely be discounted," Chen Ziyan reminded immediately.

Lu Yan He's most glorious resume is actually *Friends*.

The only thing that can move a big platform like Beijiguang to take the initiative to cooperate with Lu Yan He is a hit-level project like *Friends*.

And the success of *Friends* comes from the fact that this drama is written and acted by Lu Yan He himself. Which identity is the main reason cannot be analyzed, so it can only be treated uniformly.

Lu Yan He said: "If the conditions are discounted, they are discounted. Don't put me in."

Chen Ziyan laughed.

"Then how do you want to talk to them?"

"An actor's cooperation, a screenwriter's cooperation, talk separately," Lu Yan He said immediately. "Acting discusses acting, screenwriting discusses screenwriting. In this way, the company doesn't have to argue with me about contracts and dividends, and I don't have to worry about losing one head."

Chen Ziyan pondered for a moment and nodded. "This is also good. Your actor contract is signed with the company, and the screenwriter is doing it yourself. There is no agent for others. It is the most trouble-saving to dismantle it like this, and there will be less trouble in the future."

"The most critical thing is to hope to be able to grasp the initiative in my own hands," Lu Yan He said. "What play to take, what play to act, what play to write, I want to try to exclude some unnecessary interference."

"You sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Beijiguang, they are not to let you act in their plays, just optimistic about you, so they want to invest in you and buy stocks in advance," Chen Ziyan said. "Our production company, many winds have not been leaked, others don't know that you already have several movie scripts in your hand, only know that there is a *Squid Game*, and a costume sitcom that has no shadow. In this case, President Lin is willing to spend such a big price to inject capital, actually investing in you."

Lu Yan He said: "Actually, there are several scripts, but they haven't been filmed yet, and no one knows what the results will be."

"That's a good thing. Now everyone only sees that you have a big hit *Friends*, and they will look at your later works highly," Chen Ziyan said. "Scripts like *Raise the Red Lantern* and *Rouge* will not have much box office volume when filmed. Although they are better-looking and easier to understand than plays like *Sanshan*, how to say it is not the kind of movie that can make the audience look cool. Once released, others see their box office, maybe your expectations will be lowered instead."

Lu Yan He nodded and said: "Those who can make money make money, those who can't make money don't lose money. My goal is not high. Do what I want to do, don't do loss-making business, that's enough."

Chen Ziyan smiled. "You think so now is normal, but when you film a movie that achieves huge box office success like *Friends*, you don't change your mind, and the people around you will force you to change. Like Director Wang Zhong, Sanhe's people clearly know Director Wang Zhong's ideas, the pursuit of art, but that doesn't affect them to persuade again and again, trying to change Director Wang Zhong's ideas again and again. Look, didn't Wang Zhong finally be pushed by them to find you to run the promotion?"

Lu Yan He was shocked.

What Chen Ziyan said is actually a terrible fact.

In this world, if you want to be yourself, it is not just sticking to yourself.

Wang Zhong should have been proud of the spring breeze.

As a movie director, his status in the film circle rose, and he reached the top of the pyramid in one fell swoop.

However, any artwork, once famous, cannot be put on the shelf. If you want to be an empty valley orchid, there are also a large number of people who want to measure a market price for you.

Wang Zhong's *Sanshan* was made with such a big battle and momentum by the publicity company Sanhe, repeatedly telling him that as long as this movie is operated well, it can sell box office.

"Don't you, Director Wang, hope that your movie will achieve a good box office result?"

This sentence is like a curse, seducing Wang Zhong, changing his principles step by step, cooperating with the promotion and marketing they arranged, until these two days, he reacted afterwards and found that all this was very different from what he thought.

"They invested, but *Sanshan* has already made a lot of money from overseas copyright revenue. I don't owe them!" Wang Zhong scolded Chen Ling angrily. "I was also afraid that they would lose money before, afraid of being sorry for them, but *Sanshan* didn't lose! Just the overseas copyright revenue has already made them more than 20 million, not to mention the long-term revenue in the future. Tell them, I won't cooperate with them to engage in this kind of false marketing again!"

For Lu Yan He, the promotional method of *Sanshan* that makes him unhappy is to let him be a free laborer and deliberately fool his scenes in the movie.

But for Wang Zhong, the current publicity of *Sanshan* is completely concealing the theme of the movie itself. It was positioned as a commercial film at the beginning—this is the positioning of a commercial film, and later it was widely touted that Lu Yan He's acting skills were superb, and it was worth walking into the cinema to see just for Lu Yan He's acting skills.

All are such gimmick-style marketing, making Wang Zhong unacceptable.

Wang Zhong has not appeared in the promotional itinerary of *Sanshan* for two days.

It is all Chen Jiang, Sui Fangran, and Wang Lu who are cooperating.

However, the three of them are pure newcomers, and not many people know them. The effect of their promotion before the release is not very good.

People on Sanhe's side have also been contacting Wang Zhong for these two days, apologizing to him, and moving with emotion and reasoning, wanting to coax Wang Zhong back.

Wang Zhong was even more angry by their annoying behavior.

At this time, Lu Yan He and Chen Ziyan suddenly took the initiative to make an appointment with him to have a meal together, which surprised him.

Wang Zhong actually appreciates and is somewhat close to Lu Yan He in his heart.

The performance of Lu Yan He's finishing touch in *Sanshan* is very critical to being able to get such a high evaluation.

Wang Zhong knows that, in fact, when it was released at the Xitu'er Film Festival, those judges and media also pointed this out more or less.

But not many people in China pay attention, instead focusing on Lu Yan He's star identity.

However, since returning from the Xitu'er Film Festival, because of the movie promotion, there have been some gaps between him and Lu Yan He that have not been put on the table and have not been said to each other, but exist in reality.

Wang Zhong didn't know how the gap between him and Lu Yan He appeared. There were too many things and too many troubles recently, and he didn't have the energy to deliberate and analyze this matter.

So, Lu Yan He and Chen Ziyan suddenly wanted to come over and have a meal with him.

This matter reminded Wang Zhong of the problem that he didn't know how to emerge between him and Lu Yan He.

Chen Ling said: "Wang Zhong, Little Lu never thought about letting others think that this movie was successful because of his performance, so he also intentionally didn't participate in the movie's promotion these days, and didn't cooperate with these arguments. Sanhe's set of methods not only made you uncomfortable, but also made him unhappy. He was willing to come to cameo in this scene when he was popular, it was for you, and helped us a lot. Don't produce discord between the two of you because of the actions of that group of people in Sanhe."

Wang Zhong seemed to be hit by a stick.

He reacted in an instant why he was a little displeased with Lu Yan He.

This movie he prepared for so many years, after returning from the Xitu'er Film Festival, from the beginning of the movie promotion, in the eyes of many people, Lu Yan He seemed to have become the most critical person in this movie. He, the director, had to stand behind.

How could he, Wang Zhong, as the director of this movie, be willing to see such a situation?

He looked at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling also looked at him.

The two of them have cooperated for so long, and they have long been old friends.

Chen Ling had long seen his knot, and only then specifically said it to remind him.

Wang Zhong fell silent.

Chen Ling smiled.

Wang Zhong asked: "Did Lu Yan He say anything?"

"Originally, he had a lot of criticism about the promotional method that always consumed him. After knowing that you, the director, also suffered from this promotional method, he let go. This is not it, he made an appointment with you to meet and eat." ===== CHAPTER 319 =====
