Chapter 336

"Lu Yanhe is going to launch a strategic cooperation with North Aurora Video? What is the situation? Ma Zong, why do you keep such news so tightly?"

"Ma Zong, I said why have I been looking for you for so long, wanting to make an appointment with Lu Yanhe, why haven't you replied to me for so long? It turns out it's because you have already contacted North Aurora, and you didn't say it earlier, causing several of our projects to wait for Lu Yanhe's time. Aren't you deliberately dragging us?"

"Ma Zong, what kind of heavy cooperation is Lu Yanhe having with North Aurora? Is it a sitcom? Or what? Do I have a chance to get a share of it? Just say what you need."

Since the news was exposed, Ma Zhongquan's phone has not stopped.

Ma Zhongquan became more and more angry as he listened, panicked and annoyed.

Because he didn't know more about this matter than others.

He also saw the news and knew that Lu Yanhe personally was going to have a heavy cooperation with North Aurora Video.

Being able to use the word "heavy" in the news should not be as simple as a project cooperation. This is a consensus in the industry. There must be some more framework-like or longer-term things.

This made Ma Zhongquan more determined to pull Lu Yanhe out of Chen Ziyan's hands—he is the department of Star Entertainment in charge of artist brokerage, which also means he is the vice president with the most real power in the company.

In this situation, Chen Ziyan's existence is a major obstacle to his power, and Lu Yanhe's strategic nature in the entertainment industry has already exceeded that of Ma Zhiyuan, Li Zhibai, and others who are more popular and have more fans, which makes Ma Zhongquan often appear in a blank area that others care about but he cannot control when negotiating with other companies, that is Lu Yanhe.

Going to Ma Zhongquan's level to talk about business with others is often not as simple as one or two project cooperations, but involves more framework-like and larger-scale cooperation content.

Such cooperation often involves many interest exchanges.

At this time, who doesn't want to exchange for Lu Yanhe.

The problem appeared like this.

Actually, many people have had this premonition for a long time. Although Lu Yanhe is not as popular as those top streams, from the attitude of different people towards him, as well as the activities he attended and the media's evaluation of him, one can vaguely feel something very different from other artists.

How to describe this thing, it's like, everyone's attitude towards Lu Yanhe is more like an attitude towards a creator.

In the world of movies, in the eyes of the public, the popularity of a director is not as great as a star. However, anyone will know that the director is the "creator" of the movie. No matter how popular the actor is, no matter how well he acts, he will not be considered the "creator" of a movie work, but only a creator of a role.

For everyone, Lu Yanhe now has a kind of identity that he is a creator of a complete work, not just a creator of a role.

Precisely because of this, Lu Yanhe's positioning in the entertainment industry has become somewhat complex and blurred because of the broadcast of the drama "Friends."

Of course, it is a good, positive "complex and blurred."

This matter actually made Yu Jiang very unhappy.

Don't look at Yu Jiang's frequent setbacks in attacking Lu Yanhe online, causing a lot of jokes.

Because her novels have a group of loyal fans, and the film and television dramas adapted from her novels have also achieved great results, accumulating very rich work adaptations. Even if Lu Yanhe's fans are unhappy with her, it doesn't affect her continuing to be sought after in her circle, eating and drinking spicy food.

This time, Yu Jiang also came to the Hexi Film Festival.

As one of the international film festivals with the most Chinese film and television people, many big moves of film and television companies will be announced at this film festival.

Because the influence here is large enough and the media is enough, announcing their "big moves" here has the highest style.

Yu Jiang also has big moves this time.

The "Airu Tianshen Culture Co., Ltd." she founded will adapt three movies based on her novels together with Ruyi Pictures.

Before, Yu Jiang's novels were adapted into TV dramas or web dramas, and had never been adapted into movies.

This time, Ruyi took the initiative to find Yu Jiang for cooperation.

Youth romance movies have one or two big hits every year.

The cost is very low, but the return has a miraculous number.

Ruyi Film has always wanted to work hard on this track, so they found Yu Jiang.

If nothing else, at least Yu Jiang's novels are indeed very popular.

As a result, Yu Jiang and Ruyi were about to hold a press conference to announce this news, and the news of Lu Yanhe's strategic cooperation with North Aurora Video spread.

In an instant, all the attention was attracted by them.

Yu Jiang couldn't help but want to know if this was Lu Yanhe's intention.

Perhaps it was Lu Yanhe who knew that she was going to cooperate with Ruyi Pictures, so he deliberately released this kind of news at this time to attract everyone's attention!

No matter how much Yu Jiang dislikes Lu Yanhe, no matter how arrogant she is, she won't think that her influence can be greater than Lu Yanhe's.

The more this is the case, the angrier Yu Jiang becomes.

However, the press conference that has been set must be held as scheduled no matter what.

Yu Jiang went to the bathroom and returned to the waiting room.

Walking to the door, she suddenly heard people inside talking about Lu Yanhe.

Yu Jiang's footsteps paused.

"... What conditions did North Aurora pay to get so many cooperation plans from Lu Yanhe? We previously took out a ten million advance payment, but didn't take down Lu Yanhe's new play."

The moment Yu Jiang heard the three words "ten million," her heart twitched.

She cooperated with Ruyi Pictures, and the adaptation authorization fee for the three movies added up to only ten million!

Yu Jiang was annoyed.

Why can Lu Yanhe take a ten million advance payment?

He only wrote a sitcom like "Friends," and has never written a movie script, how can he take ten million in one go?!

Yu Jiang didn't know that the ten million advance payment mentioned by Ruyi Pictures at that time was the advance payment for Lu Yanhe's "starring screenwriter" remuneration.

At this time, Yu Jiang took it for granted that Lu Yanhe could take a ten million advance payment just as a screenwriter.

"Now which platform doesn't want to cooperate with Lu Yanhe? I heard that Icefield Video even took out the resources of the first lead of 3 S-level dramas to talk to Lu Yanhe about cooperation."

"3? They must be crazy. If Lu Yanhe has any problems, 3 big dramas can directly drag them down."

"Haha, we all say so."

"We are developing three movies in cooperation with Yu Jiang this time, and I don't know what these three movies will look like later."

"It's purely for development, to promote new people for ourselves. The stories written by Yu Jiang are all about youth pain, love, breakup, etc. Some people eat this set, but the upper limit is limited, mainly because our Ruyi wants to develop several youth romance movies, so it's good to exchange some resources we want with other companies."

"Why haven't we developed this type of play before? Actually, there are blockbusters of this type every year."

"Our boss doesn't like it. Our boss likes suspense crime dramas the most, you don't know, and the directors signed by our company, who can direct youth romance types of plays."

"Then listening to what you mean, is it saying that our company doesn't actually value the movies in cooperation with Yu Jiang?"

"It can't be said that it's not valued, but this is indeed not the direction our company values most, it can only be said to be an exploration."

Outside the door, Yu Jiang listened to the words of the people in the room, and her heart felt very uncomfortable.

Yu Jiang announced the three-movie adaptation plan with Ruyi Pictures, and it really didn't attract much attention in the end.

After all, there were no actors, and no other information. Only Yu Jiang's fans paid attention.

And when North Aurora Video held a media press conference at the Hexi Film Festival, people in the domestic film and television industry all paid attention.

At this time, everyone wanted to know what the cooperation plan between Lu Yanhe, who just brought out a sitcom like "Friends" that saved the ratings of traditional TV stations, and North Aurora Video was.

Lu Yanhe went on stage with Lin Desheng of North Aurora Video.

This time, President Lin came out in person to announce this matter.

"Our North Aurora Video will carry out strategic cooperation with Lu Yanhe's Linghe Film and Television Production Company to form a framework cooperation."

"Currently, we can share with everyone: one is that our North Aurora Video will invest in the comedy movie "Lost on Journey," starring Lu Yanhe as the screenwriter and Jia Long as the lead."

"Second, it is to jointly develop the costume sitcom "My Own Swordsman," created by Lu Yanhe as the screenwriter."

"Third, we will invite top directors and top screenwriters to tailor-make an S-level big drama for Lu Yanhe."

"Fourth is what Director Wang Zhong announced two days ago, a movie project that will continue to cooperate with Lu Yanhe, and we will also participate in it."

Four cooperation messages, brushing the screen in the Chinese film and television circle this day.

On the scene, many media were stunned.

Someone asked directly: "Four projects, several projects are written by Lu Yanhe as the screenwriter. Can Lu Yanhe write the scripts for these projects?"

Lin Desheng smiled and said: "For the several projects we just mentioned, the scripts for the two movie projects have already been written by Lu Yanhe, and they have entered the preparation stage, and "My Own Swordsman" is also being created. We expect to start filming next year. If it's fast, we can meet everyone next year."

Another reporter asked: "Yanhe, so many projects, are you busy?"

Lu Yanhe said: "I won't participate in every project as an actor, so it's okay."

Reporters were very shocked and said: "Don't you act?"

Lu Yanhe said: "Well, every project will find the most suitable actor to act, not necessarily me. Like "Lost on Journey," there is Teacher Jia Long, and mine and Director Wang Zhong's... oh, this hasn't been publicly talked about yet, I won't say it first, everyone look forward to it, it is also a very powerful actor."

The media that arrived at the scene felt unbelievable.

Domestically, a hot search entry that had been prepared for a long time appeared on major platforms: Lu Yanhe officially announced four new works in one go!

Inexplicably, the matter of Lu Yanhe's girlfriend was suppressed by Lu Yanhe's work news.

Generally speaking, everyone is more interested in love and such things, and gossip is even more so.

Someone's statement is the most interesting, saying: "Don't they all say that love and career can only get one? Why did this guy Lu Yanhe occupy both?"

The number of likes is extremely high.

This night, after communicating with Chen Ziyan, Lu Yanhe decided to write a long article to make a serious reply.

Lu Yanhe wrote a draft seriously, Chen Ziyan helped him modify and adjust it word by word, and then sent it to Lu Yanhe's personal social account.

Lu Yanhe said about his girlfriend: "She is Chen Siqi, my high school classmate, and is also co-editing "Jump Up" magazine with me. I like her very much, and she likes me very much too. I hesitated for a long time whether to make it public. Hesitation is not wanting to hide this matter from you, but not wanting too much attention to affect the time we have together, which is already not much. But after considering it for a long time, I think at least I should let everyone know that I am not single. As a result, I didn't expect that clues would be dug out by everyone so quickly, so after discussing with her, I just admitted it. When two people are together, they will definitely experience many things. This is a matter for the two of us. There will be quarrels and happiness in the future. We will not make any response—this relationship, we are dating for ourselves, not for everyone, please understand."

Lu Yanhe talked about his screenwriting work: "After the college entrance examination, I started to create some stories myself. I am very lucky because I am an actor myself, so there are many shortcuts, such as "Lost on Journey," which was recognized by Teacher Jia Long nearly a year ago and reached a cooperation intention. Now, I have finally found like-minded partners to develop this movie together. And continuing to cooperate with Director Wang Zhong on "Rouge" is thanks to the acquaintance in "Three Mountains." He knew I was writing a script, and out of care for the younger generation, he took the initiative to help me look at the script and modify the script, which led to this cooperation. As for "My Own Swordsman," it is because I no longer participate in the sequel to "Friends," but I like sitcoms very much. I still have many stories to tell and many feelings to express to everyone, so I have such a story. Besides them, there are actually many, many stories on the way, including comedy movie stories starring Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, and thriller game stories written for Teacher Jiang Jun and Sister Yuqian. These are stories I have accumulated over the past few years, and they will all be promoted, developed, and met with everyone in the future."

Lu Yanhe talked about his actor identity: "Besides writing scripts myself, I still love the identity of an actor. "Late Spring," which I just finished filming, is a play that I truly acted into. In the process of acting in this play, I completely cast aside myself. Later, I will continue to cooperate with Director Chen Lingling on a new play. This time, I have more rival scenes with Brother Ceng Qiao. There are other projects that are being contacted. I love this industry. Although I haven't been in contact for long, the future is long, and I will have more and more works to meet with everyone."

This long article is a stage summary of Lu Yanhe himself.

Everyone who saw this long article, besides shock, was still shock.

Even Huang Kai sent a message to Lu Yanhe: "You have so many projects later, is it that you don't have a schedule to accept new projects for the next five years?" Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry, saying no.

Huang Kai said: "You have so many projects, why didn't you continue to cooperate with me? We agreed at the beginning to tailor-make a play for us again."

Lu Yanhe said: "Thinking about it, Brother Huang, and you are so busy now, you don't have time to cooperate with me, right."

Huang Kai said: "Then I am not as busy as you. Do you know that after your long article was sent, the whole entertainment industry was shocked? How many people are jealous of your projects later? I think more and more people should be looking for you next."

Lu Yanhe: "Actually, Brother Huang, you didn't call me, I also wanted to call you, there is indeed a movie I want to talk to you about."

"Hmm?" Huang Kai was stunned.

Lu Yanhe said: "It's the movie I collaborated with Director Wang Zhong."

"Oh?" Huang Kai was a bit surprised, "Is there a role for me to act?"

Lu Yanhe said: "Yes, there is a role I think is very suitable for you, but the director wants to talk to you in person."

Huang Kai: "Okay, you arrange the time, no problem."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Don't you look at the script?"

Huang Kai said: "Whether I look at the script or not, I definitely have to see this side. I want to cooperate with Director Wang Zhong so much, Little Lu, I have never acted in a movie by such a big director."

Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Huang Kai say this.

"Okay."

He was really afraid that Huang Kai would think Director Wang Zhong's film was an art film and didn't want to act.

Any first-line actor, when picking a play, doesn't just act for a big director. There are too many factors to consider.

Once this North Aurora Video press conference was held, Lu Yanhe's work at this Hexi Film Festival was completed.

He had to catch a flight back home that day.

Because there was still class the next day.

As a result, many media reporters were waiting for him at the airport.

Everyone found out his itinerary for returning home.

Many media had questions they wanted to ask him.

Including love, including subsequent works.

Chen Ziyan had foreseen it long ago and arranged for four bodyguards to wait for him in the arrival hall.

After Lu Yanhe came out, he was immediately protected by the bodyguards.

The media swarmed up, wanting to interview Lu Yanhe.

All kinds of questions.

Lu Yanhe took everyone to a place where the flow of people was not so large, then slowed down his pace and said: "Regarding the matter of me dating, I really won't respond. Please don't ask me anymore, I won't respond to anything."

Lu Yanhe said with a full face of smiles several times. Everyone saw that Lu Yanhe really wouldn't say a word more, so they gave up and started asking other questions.

Lu Yanhe was entangled for a while, answered a few questions, and then got in the car and left.

Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe: "It's too crazy, I really didn't expect that almost all the media came today, even CCTV Entertainment came."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Does the influence of cooperating with North Aurora Video have such a big impact?"

Chen Ziyan thought about it and said: "From the current situation, the impact is indeed not small. You may not know how many calls I have received. Now my phone is directly muted. I take it out now, and you can see a call that has been made within three minutes. This time you announced too many projects in one go, and it is inevitable to attract attention. Who doesn't pay attention, especially actors? You were a competitor with them before, but now you have become a resource. How many people want to curry favor with you and participate in your projects."

After a pause, Chen Ziyan talked about Ma Zhongquan's matter.

"Even Ma Zhongquan can't sit still now, wanting to grab back the management rights of your brokerage affairs. I have already quarreled with him twice."

Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in disbelief.

"Ah?"

At this moment, his "Ah?" was unbelievable.

Incredible.

In Lu Yanhe's understanding, Ma Zhongquan should not have any contact with him no matter what.

It was he who instructed Zhou Ping'an to drive him out of the entertainment industry back then.

Now he wants to take back his brokerage management rights, how is that possible?

Why does he think he will agree?

Is he still the person who was manipulated by others back then?

Lu Yanhe said coldly: "Let them stop having such spring and autumn dreams."

"How are you now? Is anyone harassing you?" After returning to the dormitory, Lu Yanhe had a video call with Chen Siqi and asked.

Chen Siqi said: "It's okay, I've been with Bai Yu. These two days, the classmates in school look at me a bit strangely, and no reporters have mixed in, and I haven't gone out much."

Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

He made his relationship with Chen Siqi public, and what he feared most was that Chen Siqi's life would be affected.

Chen Siqi said: "Your next play won't join the crew until August, right?"

"Yes," Lu Yanhe said, "There are no plans to film before that."

Chen Siqi said: "A few of us discussed and wanted to carry out a "Jump Up" into campus activity. The universities and middle schools in Yuming will be responsible by you, is that okay? I think such an activity can further expand the influence of our magazine. I want to arrange for all the writers of "Jump Up" to join in together, which of course can also increase their influence among students."

Lu Yanhe said: "I can."

"Okay, the specific planning and arrangement in Yuming are responsible by Linyu, but if you join, you can make more people pay attention to this matter. One is campus field promotion, the other is online promotion, double-pronged," Chen Siqi said. "The sales of "Jump Up" are very stable now, but there is indeed no trend of rising again. It is a bit fixed, and it must be further opened up. Otherwise, it is really retreating if you don't advance, there is no way."

Lu Yanhe said okay.

He also said: "However, our "Jump Up" magazine has always focused on the youth market. Now it only focuses on students. It seems that young people in the age group of twenty to thirty have not done targeted promotion."

"Can't be busy at all," Chen Siqi said. "We haven't even eaten much of the student market yet. It looks prosperous. Everyone knows the magazine "Jump Up," but in fact, it's just that small group of people. Most people have no interest in reading magazines at all. I want to let everyone truly pick up our magazine and flip through it through this campus activity. Only in this way can we further open up the situation. People who will take the initiative to read magazines basically already know our magazine in the past two years."

Lu Yanhe hmm-ed.

He hung up the phone and heard Mao Jiayang sigh: "Your girlfriend is really amazing."

"Ah?"

Mao Jiayang immediately said: "I didn't deliberately eavesdrop on your conversation, it's just that the sound of your conversation reached my ears."

Lu Yanhe waved his hand with a smile and said: "It's okay."

If it was a phone call that couldn't be heard by everyone, he wouldn't have made it in the dormitory.

Mao Jiayang said: "I just think that at such a time, her attention is still all on work, thinking about how to promote "Jump Up," it's really amazing."

Lu Yanhe said: "Yes, I called her because I was worried that she would be harassed by the media, but I didn't expect her to be fine at all."

He was a bit sullen.

Mao Jiayang: "By the way, Yanhe, didn't you go to Shangjing before? How is the desert there? Is it worth going?"

Lu Yanhe nodded: "There are very few people. I stayed in the desolate desert with my friends for two days. Although it is very vulgar to say so, there is indeed this feeling. I feel that my soul has been purified. What's wrong, do you want to go too?"

"It's because Xiaoxiao is going to shoot a film there, so I'm going to help him. I want to ask about the situation there," Mao Jiayang said. "I have never entered the desert, I don't know if there is anything to pay attention to."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "I will list a list for you later, but I am not a professional. You probably still need to find a local guide. Do you want me to push our guide from before to you?"

"Okay," Mao Jiayang nodded immediately.

"What about Xiao Jing?" Lu Yanhe asked, "I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time."

Mao Jiayang said: "He is busy applying for exchange to the UK. He wants to go to the UK for a year."

Lu Yanhe realized.

Now, among the roommates in the dormitory, Mao Jiayang has the best relationship with Lu Yanhe, Zhou Mukai has many opportunities to deal with him because he is in the same college and works as a part-time editor at "Jump Up," and the one with the least contact is actually Xiao Jing.

Lu Yanhe had also thought before whether he had too little communication with Xiao Jing.

However, the fate between people is actually like this, it is not that it can be twisted together if it is hard twisted.

He and Xiao Jing don't have anything wrong with each other, and their feelings are quite good, just not very familiar.

Xiao Jing is actually preparing to go to the UK for exchange.

Actually, among them, except for him, others have plans to further study for a master's degree.

Lu Yanhe even felt that they might all read a doctoral degree.

On the one hand, their families are not in a hurry for them to go out to work and make money. On the other hand, everyone seems to be very interested in the major they are studying and wants to understand and master the situation further.

Lu Yanhe also couldn't help thinking whether it was enough for him to finish an undergraduate degree.

Or further study, go to graduate school.

Is it necessary for him to go to graduate school?

From a practical point of view, it is indeed not necessary.

However, Lu Yanhe enjoys the state of reading.

If he goes to graduate school, it is actually relatively free. He doesn't have to finish reading in a few years. He can fully use and coordinate time arrangements.

The sophomore year is almost finished, and it seems it is time to consider this matter.

In another year, the qualification for recommended graduate students will come down.

With Lu Yanhe's current grades, it seems that he can still get a qualification for recommended graduate students.

He must make a decision as soon as possible, either accept or give up.

Just at this moment, Zhou Ping'an suddenly contacted him and asked him to meet.
