Chapter 440: The applause lasted for a long time

~14 min read 2,639 words

"Lily, I'm very sorry. After seeing the video, I didn't know how to explain all this to you. I would have thought I was disrespectful to you if I watched the video myself. Please believe me, this was absolutely not my intention."

After seeing Lily Wilton again, Lu Yan He immediately expressed his apology.

In the video, his expression was indeed perfunctory and disrespectful.

This point cannot be washed away.

Unintentional mistakes must also be explained clearly.

When they met for the first time, Lily Wilton didn't know him, and saw such a scene. Should she think in a good direction?

Lily Wilton smiled brightly.

"Oh! You don't have to take it to heart. Shang Yongzhou has already explained it to me. I understand very well. Sometimes when we are too tired, we really can't control our facial features," Lily Wilton said. "I have also had such times."

Facing Lily Wilton's understanding, Lu Yan He expressed his gratitude.

Shang Yongzhou said: "I won't walk the red carpet with you later, leave it to the two of you. When the two of you walk on the red carpet together, the discussion about this matter can probably come to an end."

At this moment, Lu Yan He didn't know how to describe his gratitude to Shang Yongzhou.

Shang Yongzhou didn't help because he received his call for help. He took the initiative to find Lily Wilton to explain this matter after knowing about it, and also thought of a way for him to solve this negative public opinion.

Nothing is more useful than the indifference and understanding of the parties involved.

Especially when the two of them walk on the red carpet together and appear directly in front of the lenses of various media.

The signal released by this scene can be transmitted to the ears of the most people most quickly and effectively.

Lu Yan He took a deep breath.

"What? Lu Yan He decided to walk the red carpet again?"

Zheng Huairen, who had entered the venue but couldn't find Lu Yan He, was wondering when he heard Jiang Zixin's report to him.

Zheng Huairen looked surprised, and even a bit annoyed.

Why is Lu Yan He thinking of one thing and another?

If he was reluctant to walk the red carpet, why did he say he wouldn't walk it before?

Now the creators of *Rouge* have entered the Film Palace, the red carpet is almost over, and the media have started to pack up their equipment and prepare to leave.

On the screen inside the venue, you can see the live broadcast of the red carpet.

You can see that the last guest to appear on the red carpet has finished taking photos, finished the pose, and is ready to come in.

The red carpet is empty.

Just at this time, a car suddenly drove over again.

The media reporters who were ready to pack up their equipment were stunned when they saw this car, and their eyes looked over in unison.

The car door opened, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes stretched out.

Shang Yongzhou, the image ambassador of this film festival, got out of the car, waved to the media area, smiled slightly, and walked forward with big strides.

His late appearance triggered another round of enthusiastic shooting in the media area.

This is the courtesy that the media participating in the film festival will definitely give to the image ambassador.

Shang Yongzhou didn't linger too much, staying at each point for about two to three seconds, and finished his red carpet with a fast pace.

When Shang Yongzhou finished the last fixed point, another car drove over.

People in the media area frowned in confusion.

Who came so late?

Generally speaking, for the premiere of a film, the creators are the last to walk on the red carpet, which is also to show respect for the creators.

It's okay for Shang Yongzhou to be late, after all, he is the image ambassador of this film festival, and they can be a little more tolerant.

What's going on with this car?

Lu Yan He got out of the other side of the car.

Lu Yan He!

The photographers in the media area certainly know this Chinese male actor.

They came to participate in the red carpet of this film and had done their homework in advance, knowing the situation of the creators of this film.

And Lu Yan He is one of the most famous among them internationally.

Especially the video of him and Lily Wilton, which is now very popular on the Internet and has reached the trend list.

Negative public opinion made them think that Lu Yan He would not appear when they saw him not appearing with the *Rouge* creator team.

This is also a very wise choice.

However, now Lu Yan He actually appeared again!

Zheng Huairen said to Jiang Zixin with some annoyance: "I heard long ago that some actors want to fight for the last appearance, fight for this order. I really thought Lu Yan He was worried that his negative public opinion would affect the film. I didn't expect him to play this set too!"

Jiang Zixin looked at Lu Yan He getting out of the car on the screen. Hearing Zheng Huairen say such things, she subconsciously felt that Zheng Huairen was wrong.

She dealt with Lu Yan He more, and thought she knew Lu Yan He much better than Zheng Huairen.

Lu Yan He is definitely not this kind of person.

However, why did Lu Yan He go back on his word?

Jiang Zixin also felt puzzled.

Just at this time, Lu Yan He, who she thought would walk directly on the red carpet and wave his hand, stopped at the car door on the side facing the red carpet after walking around the car.

He opened the car door with a very gentlemanly posture.

Jiang Zixin frowned.

Lu Yan He is not alone?

Who else?

She looked at the screen in front of her without blinking, so much so that she didn't notice that the people around her had the same expression.

The next second, that face known globally because of *Golden Throne* appeared in front of everyone.

Jiang Zixin heard bursts of gasps.

She wouldn't blame them for being too exaggerated, because even she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Lu Yan He actually held Lily Wilton's hand and walked on the red carpet of *Rouge*.

At this moment, every photographer picked up the camera in his hand, letting the shutter sound on this red carpet at a speed that seemed to be played by four hands.

Zheng Huairen's two hands smashed together heavily.

The more annoyed he was a second ago, the more passionate his mood was at this moment.

"Sure enough, it's Lu Yan He, worthy of him, only he can turn the tide at this time and turn the overwhelming negative news into free promotional resources for *Rouge*!"

Jiang Zixin heard Zheng Huairen's posture of being completely convinced by Lu Yan He, and rolled her eyes silently in her heart.

What he said just now, she still remembered.

This face changes really fast.

Jiang Zixin turned her head and said to Wang Zhong and the others, "Now the crisis is lifted."

Chen Bige also smiled with relief.

"How did this kid get Lily Wilton done again?" she muttered softly.

The Internet is boiling.

Whether it is domestic or foreign, it is boiling like a hot pot.

Even He Lan couldn't help but say to Chen Siqi: "If it weren't for the fact that I know Yan He would never do such a thing, I would have thought this was marketing specifically designed by Yan He and Lily Wilton in advance."

Chen Siqi also smiled and said: "He doesn't have the ability to let Lily Wilton do this kind of marketing with him."

"That's good, the crisis is perfectly lifted," He Lan said.

Chen Siqi frowned again and shook her head, "The crisis has not been completely lifted."

"Ah?"

"You have known Yan He for so long, have you ever seen Yan He's expression out of control to that extent?" Chen Siqi said, "I have never even seen that expression on Yan He's face."

He Lan was stunned.

Chen Siqi fell into deep thought.

He Lan noticed that there was a bit more worry and concern in Chen Siqi's eyes.

When the lights in the Film Palace went out and the film started to play, and the opening credits sounded, at this moment, Lu Yan He finally could quietly breathe a sigh of relief in the dark environment.

He moved his mouth. After entering just now, there were too many people who needed to greet. All the way to his seat, he kept shaking hands with people, smiling at people, and his face was almost stiff.

The incident that happened today can be described as a real turn of the tide.

Fortunately, Shang Yongzhou invited Lily Wilton over.

Whether it is Lu Yan He or *Rouge*, because of this twisty hot topic, many people know and pay attention to it.

A blessing in disguise.

Lu Yan He let himself calm down and prepared to watch *Rouge* seriously.

He had already watched the first cut of the film *Rouge*, which was very long at the time, and some places were very rough.

However, the overall style has been determined.

Although he had already watched the first cut, when Chen Bige's face, which seemed to be resentful, appeared on the big screen and opened the film with a huge close-up, Lu Yan He's heart was still hit hard.

This is not the editing method he told Wang Zhong.

He didn't make any suggestions for the editing of this film.

However, Wang Zhong chose an opening exactly the same as the original.

Is this a coincidence?

A trace of resentment grew.

A brothel appeared on the screen.

It looks richer and more decadent than the original.

The Twelve Young Master played by Huang Kairen appeared on the wooden stairs. Accompanied by the chirping of small tunes, he restrained his own heroism. With the help of the makeup artist, his skin color was whiter, and his eyebrows had a bit more exquisite care.

He seemed to be still strange and novel to this place. His eyes still showed a bit of innocence when he first arrived. He met two women on the wooden stairs who were affectionate, slightly shy, but boldly cast their eyes on him. He smiled, and two points of romanticism overflowed from his innocent eyes. It was not enough. After smiling back, he leaned from the other side and lingered on the figures of the two of them going downstairs. Those eyes, which could still be called innocent, were definitely not clean.

Lu Yan He's heart sank.

Good, really good.

Huang Kairen's appearance, the previous character image no longer remained. In this brothel, which seemed exquisite and beautiful but could not hide the stale and old, he became this Twelve Young Master, a rich family son who was pampered and had a good face.

The image of Zhang Guorong in Lu Yan He's mind gradually blurred and condensed into the image of Huang Kairen.

This is a version different from Zhang Guorong.

Very different.

If you want to say it, Lu Yan He felt that Huang Kairen, who smiled just now, had more of Zun Long's shadow.

The Twelve Young Master who is also established.

This is a film with a bit of ghost spirit.

More than fifty years of time separated two eras. The infatuated female ghost who refused to be reincarnated was just for a promise to die together.

This is a story that can only happen decades ago.

Only in that background would people believe that there is such a story.

Like a legend.

Frame by frame, scene by scene, like a dream, like a flower that is close and far away.

The film's screen constantly switches between two time and space. Half a century has passed, and this city has changed its appearance.

Ruhu walks in it in a cheongsam, still beautiful and moving, swaying, but particularly abrupt, appearing out of place.

She no longer belongs to this era.

Lu Yan He could hear soft exclamations around him from time to time.

Wang Zhong filmed this film too beautifully, so beautiful that it seemed like a strange dream.

The scene where the two died together, under the dim light, the two spoke softly, saying lines that seemed to be heard only on the stage, talking about this life, and talking about the next life. Life and death are as heavy as mountains, as clean as water, and like a handkerchief, light and floating.

Lu Yan He watched the two actors go back and forth on the screen.

Between them, a look, a lowering of eyebrows, a love that is infatuated and resentful, a vow wine that is determined to enter the throat. The deeper the love, the more resentful when waiting without results.

Until the end, when Ruhu passed the stage, a stage rarely seen in a modern city.

She looked at the people on the stage and also saw them more than fifty years ago.

When she finally found the Twelve Young Master, more than fifty years later, he had become a down-and-out old man, no longer the style of the year.

He lost his faith and did not go to the underworld with her, so he was still lingering in the world, and she could only wait bitterly in the underworld.

She didn't say a word of farewell, broke the agreement of the year, and left.

Life is like a play.

Ruhu sings, and the Twelve Young Master also sings. Those plays are talented people and beauties in front of flowers and under the moon, are Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turning into butterflies and leaving, are also Chen Shimei failing Qin Xianglian, and Du Shiniang angrily sinking the treasure chest.

The play has been sung for more than fifty years, Ruhu woke up from the dream, she didn't wait anymore.

In the Film Palace, the lights turned on again.

Lu Yan He took a deep breath and turned the various emotions brought by the film into a breath, spitting it out gently.

The applause sounded like thunder.

Only the audience at the film festival would be so unsparing with their applause.

However, this is the encouragement that every creator who makes films seriously needs.

Wang Zhong stood up and bowed to everyone.

Others also stood up.

Chen Bige's eyes were red.

She said in Lu Yan He's ear: "I thought this film would definitely not be bad, but I really didn't expect it to be so good."

Lu Yan He nodded with a smile.

Huang Kairen couldn't restrain his excitement, grabbed Lu Yan He's arm, and looked at him. At that moment, too many emotions flowed out of his eyes, and various complex emotions were mixed together.

Huang Kairen seemed to have a lot to say to him at this moment.

Lu Yan He shook his head, signaling that he didn't need to say anything.

Everything is understood.

Lu Yan He clapped and said to him: "Brother Huang, look, I didn't lie to you."

That was a long time ago, Lu Yan He told him firmly that this would become a turning point in his acting career, a milestone.

Huang Kairen laughed.

He hugged Lu Yan He's shoulder and shook his shoulder excitedly.

The applause lasted for four minutes, only four minutes, but it made everyone feel that it was as long as it could last, as if it could concentrate the glory of a filmmaker's life into these four minutes. ===== CHAPTER 441 =====
