Chapter 450: The Steady Box Office of

In terms of visuals, there are many designs to make the film's style unique, to the point where viewers know whose work it is at a glance. In Lu Yan He's impression, there are really only two directors, Wes Anderson and Wong Kar-wai.

Their film visuals are too personalized. Many imitate, but no one has ever surpassed them.

He has no intention of making "Love Letter" a film with a particularly unique style or visual.

However, he hopes that "Love Letter," whether in visuals, music, or performance, maintains a unified tone, keeping the entire film in that key of "retracing the past of youth."

When filming the scene where the male Itsuki stands by the library window and the curtains float and fall in the wind, Lu Yan He first gathered the entire crew.

"This shot will be very difficult to film. In the film, this shot will only last about ten seconds, but it is very important," Lu Yan He said. "Teacher Bao, Wu Zhou, I'll leave this shot to you. You've already seen the storyboard. The feeling I want is a frame that would appear in a girl's memory. It has a memory filter, but not that kind of idol drama filter; I don't want that kind of filter at all. In the shot, I am a very silent, clean boy who makes the female Itsuki feel confused. I want this feeling."

Wu Zhou was suddenly a bit nervous.

This was the first time since filming started that Lu Yan He had so solemnly explained how important a shot was.

Bao Wenliang nodded and said, "It's not evening yet, the sunset light hasn't come out. Are we starting to shoot now?"

Lu Yan He said, "Test the light first, shoot a segment. When the light is good later, we won't have time to make adjustments."

Bao Wenliang understood, nodded, and made an OK gesture.

Lu Yan He felt it was quite disjointed, having to direct the scene while also entering the character.

This segment didn't need to film Zhang Ruozhi at all.

However, Zhang Ruozhi still sat behind the desk, helping Lu Yan He with the scene.

"Ruoruo, you don't need to help me with the scene," Lu Yan He said upon seeing this. "This part won't film you, and we don't have any lines between us."

Zhang Ruozhi said, "In the script, I'm looking at you in this part. I have to look at you; there should be my gaze in this shot."

Lu Yan He's heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Ruozhi showed a shy smile, seemingly feeling very unconfident about what she had just said.

Lu Yan He nodded, came back to his senses, and gave her a thumbs up to express his gratitude.

Lu Yan He was genuinely surprised, even feeling it was incredible.

He never expected that Zhang Ruozhi would take the initiative to propose such a thing.

It's not that she isn't in this shot; her gaze must be in this shot.

Although Zhang Ruozhi is a newcomer actor who has only been filming for a few days, Lu Yan He feels he will remember this sentence for a long, long time.

If the filming of "Love Letter" was so smooth that their crew was like a quiet paradise, with everyone filming the movie in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere every day, then outside of "Love Letter," the entertainment industry was quite lively.

Ma Zhiyuan played dead, acted like a coward, and didn't come out to respond to Lu Yan He and Li Zhibai's words, but he still appeared on the stage of "Idol Era."

The entire show also acted as if this had never happened, as if everyone on the show had lost the memory of this segment, and everyone could still laugh and chat, praising each other's performances.

In the film market, a martial arts action film called "Nine Yin" emerged, with a first-day box office of 2.37 million, which skyrocketed to 14.29 million on Saturday, and by Sunday, it achieved a box office of 22.12 million, showing a significant dark horse posture.

Another animated film called "Angry Crow" also exploded, with a first-day box office of over 80 million, and over 100 million on the second day.

The two films opened the curtain of the summer season, making "Lost on Journey," which was preparing to be released the following week, a bit uneasy, because the box office performance of "Nine Yin" and "Angry Crow" was too good. If the trend continued, it would inevitably eat into the screen time that "Lost on Journey" could have received.

Because it couldn't be released during the Spring Festival, it had to be moved to the summer season. The theme of this film couldn't be linked to social hot topics, and the promotion strategy had to change accordingly, focusing more on comedy for promotion.

Jia Long took Wang Dashan to run roadshows for preview screenings, one after another.

Every screening had guest stars coming on stage to promote the film.

The word-of-mouth for the preview screenings of "Lost on Journey" was very good, and everyone laughed like crazy.

Li Bi filmed a documentary recording how many times the audience laughed while watching the film at a preview screening.

Chen Siqi marketed a topic called: They laughed 172 times watching "Lost on Journey," do you want to know how many times you will laugh?

The topic was paid to be on the trending list three days before the release of "Lost on Journey."

But once this topic was bought, the reading volume and discussion volume exploded.

The producers of "Lost on Journey" had been collecting feedback from the audience at the preview screenings, and the keyword was "funny."

And collecting feedback from netizens who hadn't seen the film yet but had started discussing it on social platforms, they found that the most common opinion among those who didn't want to see it was that the trailer looked too rural and not urban enough. They didn't want to see rural-themed films, even if it was a comedy.

"Lost on Journey" shared this information with Chen Siqi, and Chen Siqi immediately said: "After the release, create a topic, face the points everyone cares about directly, call it 'How did "Lost on Journey" manage to be both rural and funny,' hit it straight, face the audience's resistance to our film, see if we can strengthen the film's funniness to dilute their resistance and let them walk into the cinema."

Chen Siqi is now the designated promotional ambassador for film and television works where Lu Yan He is a creator, basically undertaking the promotion work for every one of Lu Yan He's films.

Moreover, in her own words—true lovers, clear accounts. Any producer or distributor who comes to her for a marketing plan is fine, but the money that should be given cannot be less by a cent. Even if Lu Yan He is the creator of this film.

With several successful marketing cases under her belt, Chen Siqi certainly has the confidence to say this.

Lu Yan He really couldn't find the time to go to the promotion site of "Lost on Journey," so he could only record some promotional materials and behind-the-scenes footage to provide to the producers and distributors for regular promotion, maintaining the heat of "Lost on Journey."

And by Thursday, the film's box office had exceeded 2 million, and if pre-sale box office was included, the box office had already exceeded 30 million.

This is the appeal of comedy big shot Jia Long.

As long as it's a comedy starring Jia Long, the market is definitely full of expectations.

Jia Long's appeal in the comedy film market is in the first tier in the country.

For this film, the break-even point is about 200 million—the promotion and distribution costs of this film are very high. To be precise, almost all comedy films aiming for high box office have very high promotion and distribution costs. And this film is inconvenient to promote production costs because this film doesn't have much investment in hard industry. In terms of production, the most expensive parts are Jia Long and Lu Yan He; their salaries are secondary, mainly because they also get a share of the profits, and this share makes the film's break-even point higher than regular films.

In such a big environment, it is actually difficult for the public to accept—a few people occupy the most important production budget of a film. The public can accept that special effects are expensive, set design is expensive, and other production links are expensive, but they cannot accept that a few people are expensive.

However, in the film and television industry, what price you mark actually depends not on anything else, but on what role you play and what position you occupy in this film.

Why do many Hollywood comedy films have a production budget of only 40 million dollars, and the lead actor can take away 20 million plus box office share? Because according to market logic, this film sells this lead actor. Without this lead actor, no one watches this film. Even if others have done a lot and paid a lot, even under the concept that "film is the director's art," no one cares who the director is. Sorry, the person the market is willing to pay for is not you, but this lead actor.

Jia Long is such an existence.

Lu Yan He's salary as a screenwriter certainly can't compare to Jia Long's, but his subsequent share of income is not much lower than Jia Long's. This is also what Jia Long fought for him. At that time, Lu Yan He was a screenwriter for the first time. Under normal circumstances, he couldn't enjoy so much subsequent share, and long-term income basically had nothing to do with new screenwriters. But with Jia Long's persistence, and because he is Lu Yan He, he got such treatment in his first film.

Lu Yan He also really wants to know how much box office "Lost on Journey" can get in this space-time.

In the original world, this film got nearly 40 million box office in 2010, making a big profit. The second part broke the box office record for domestic films.

Now the situation has changed. One is that the market volume is very large, much larger than the box office market in the original world in 2010. Second, this film is starring Jia Long, and when the bald actor played it at that time, he was not yet the comedy superstar he later became.

In this situation, Lu Yan He believes that a box office of over 100 million is a passing grade, and a box office of over 200 million means it can directly break even based on theater box office revenue, without waiting for subsequent various copyrights and long-term income.

And if "Lost on Journey" can break through 300 million, then it belongs to success.

This is also why many film companies were relatively cautious when Jia Long looked for cooperation with film and television companies before. The box office prospect of this film is not very big, and the input cost is high. For them, there is not much profit space. With the same production budget, doing another film might get a much greater return, so why should they invest in "Lost on Journey"?

Of course, if the conditions are suitable, they are also willing to invest in films starring Jia Long—but the subsequent share Jia Long requested became a barrier for them to be willing to throw out this olive branch.

On July 12, "Lost on Journey" was officially released.

On the first day of release, the promoters focused on the keywords of Jia Long's new film release and first in pre-sales, doing large-scale promotion.

On the same day, an urban action comedy film "City Strategy" was also released.

"Angry Crow" still remained in first place with 21% of the screen time. Until yesterday, Thursday, its box office had stabilized at over 60 million, and the total box office had exceeded 1 billion, becoming the biggest dark horse of the year. "Nine Yin" also retained 14% of the screen time in the second week with a steady trend.

Compared to the all-star cast of "City Strategy," "Lost on Journey" only had Jia Long as a big star to carry it alone. The theater managers finally gave more screen time to "City Strategy," which got 22%, while "Lost on Journey" only had 17%.

Of course, in fact, this screen time rate is not low.

By 12:00 noon, "City Strategy" ranked first in the daily box office list with a box office of 52 million, while "Lost on Journey" ranked second with 35 million.

"Angry Crow" and "Nine Yin" were both lower.

However, by 5:00 PM, the box office of "Angry Crow" caught up.

And "City Strategy" was hampered by the bad reviews of the first batch of viewers, and its growth slowed down.

The first batch of viewers of "Lost on Journey" gave very high evaluations.

Li Bi stationed himself outside a cinema in Yuming, interviewing viewers watching "Lost on Journey," asking them to share their viewing feelings, and held a lottery every 30 minutes, including red envelopes, mobile phones, signed photos of celebrity artists, "Lost on Journey" movie tickets... The number of viewers in the live broadcast room always maintained a level of tens of thousands of people watching at the same time.

In the evening, the golden time came.

"Angry Crow" welcomed its largest audience group—children and their parents.

"City Strategy" relied on the big film's formation and momentum, although the word-of-mouth was not good, the box office still held up there.

"Lost on Journey" relied on being a comedy to maintain its attendance rate.

On the first day, "City Strategy" won today's box office champion with 76.2 million, "Angry Crow" ranked second with 64.2 million, and "Lost on Journey" got 58 million, ranking third.

However, the name of "City Strategy" as a bad film also began to spread widely on the internet, and many people complained about it.

Lu Yan He took everyone to watch the premiere of "Lost on Journey" on Friday night.

Fortunately, they booked the venue in advance, otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to grab tickets.

There are not many cinemas in Jiangzhi, only three. So, for a time like Friday night, it is generally full.

He watched "Lost on Journey" completely for the first time.

Although he knew exactly how the plot unfolded and what lines everyone was going to say next, when that scene appeared on the screen, Lu Yan He still couldn't stop laughing.

The best part of "Lost on Journey" is that it always puts comedy first, and everything else has to give way to comedy.

Therefore, viewers who walk into the cinema with expectations for this film generally won't leave disappointed.

These days, viewers are also afraid of films that sell dog meat under a sheep's head.

This is the first film Lu Yan He has written as a screenwriter to be released.

When all the crew members finished watching the film and were still laughing, thinking of this point, including the old-timers like Bao Wenliang, their mentality toward Lu Yan He became even more complicated.

Many crew members, including Bao Wenliang, actually felt that the script of "Love Letter" was very average. If this film were just expressed in words, it would actually be quite melodramatic. This is also the reason why everyone didn't think much of Lu Yan He writing, directing, and acting in it at first.

However, comedy is the most popular subject. The most intuitive standard for evaluating whether a comedy is good or not is whether you laugh from beginning to end. This kind of emotional feedback is also the most intuitive. If you can add a little value and meaning that is not annoying or abrupt, then this film has basically stepped into the door of a classic comedy film.

Just now, during the whole viewing process, the bursts of laughter that kept ringing in the cinema were the most powerful proof.

In this line of work, at the end of the day, you still have to speak with real results.

The first-day box office of "Lost on Journey" was not the first, but it was not left behind, maintaining its position in the first tier.

Facing the pincer attack of the all-star blockbuster "City Strategy" and the annual dark horse "Angry Crow," "Lost on Journey" could still achieve such results, which already shows its quality.

And the social topic-style marketing ideas that Chen Siqi designed before also began to be promoted on the second day.

—How did "Lost on Journey" manage to be both rural and funny?

—Jia Long and Lu Yan He personally selected Wang Dashan to star in "Lost on Journey," betting a comedy film on a newcomer who had never acted before, a talent scout in the entertainment industry.

—How did the refined man get successfully conquered by the rural simpleton?!

This last topic was a meme point specifically designed by Chen Siqi for online dissemination.

One trending search after another was pushed to their respective target audiences, the main purpose of which was to evoke everyone's desire to walk into the cinema to watch this film as much as possible.

Of course, the biggest promotional point was the audience word-of-mouth of "Lost on Journey."

Li Bi took his live broadcast team to conduct a 12-hour live broadcast at the entrance of the cinema, inviting viewers to share their viewing feelings on the spot, and constantly held lotteries—

So much so that Li Bi's incident became a meme on the internet.

The boss's film, the employees have to do a good job of promotion even if they forget to eat and sleep.

It would be better for every actor to arrange a video account anchor for themselves like Lu Yan He in the future.

The use is too wide.

In this situation, with little change in screen time on the second day, "Lost on Journey" grabbed 81.24 million in box office on Saturday, slightly inferior to "Angry Crow" with 87.5 million, while the all-star cast "City Strategy," hampered by the decline in word-of-mouth, saw its Saturday box office fall instead of rise, with only 68.7 million. "Nine Yin," in fourth place, still got over 50 million in box office, and it seems it can surpass "City Strategy" again on Sunday, returning to the top three camp.

Lu Yan He was very happy to receive the box office good news sent by Jia Long in the main creator group.

He forwarded the poster of the crew celebrating the box office breaking 100 million.

Li Zhibai immediately forwarded it and said: Awesome, the first film as a screenwriter, breaking 100 million box office in two days of release, haha, let those who thought this film couldn't have a high box office regret it.

Yan Liang also forwarded it: Too awesome, too awesome, then continue to book the venue tomorrow, invite everyone to watch the movie, wait for my news tomorrow!

If you want to say that Lu Yan He's connections in the circle are wide, it's not really that wide. He is not a person who particularly mixes in the circle.

However, people who have worked with Lu Yan He basically maintain a good relationship with him, and after one cooperation, they will continue to work together later.

This time the film was released, Lu Yan He didn't send messages one by one to ask everyone to help with promotion. However, everyone also recommended this film on their social platforms one after another, spontaneously.

Like Yan Liang, who has work these days and hasn't had time to watch it, but has also booked the venue online for two consecutive days, and will continue tomorrow for the third day, inviting his fans to watch "Lost on Journey."

Like Li Zhibai, who posted a long viewing experience on the day of release on Sunday.

The group of people from "Young Days" goes without saying, all posting articles to recommend it.

When Jia Long was running the roadshow, he joked with the media: "Although Yan He only made a cameo in this film, half of his circle of friends is in this film. It's a pity that because he is filming "Love Letter," he can't join our roadshow. However, he is too powerful. He can't join himself, but for every roadshow, he invited a friend who made a cameo to join our roadshow. He is really a good person, so everyone is willing to help him do these things."

Some media asked: "Teacher Jia, during the preparation process of the film, did you have any disputes with Lu Yan He? After all, you are the lead actor, he is the screenwriter, did the two of you have any differences in creation?"

Jia Long: "Actually, if you understand what kind of person Yan He is, you won't ask such questions. I have heard some directors tell me that Lu Yan He is an actor on set who will definitely listen to the director's command even if he doesn't understand. At first, I thought this was too lack of opinion, but after I talked to him once, he told me that for a film, if every department is a particularly awesome and talented person, the film made by such a lineup may not be good, because opinions fight each other, this is not doing addition, but subtraction, and it is very likely that what is filmed is a mess. And if a project is in, there is only one person who is particularly opinionated and has particularly correct ideas, and the abilities of others may not be so prominent, but the things made will definitely not be bad, because everyone's ability is doing addition, even if it can't add much, at least it won't do subtraction. I understood why he could achieve such great achievements at a young age."

"He understands characters, understands scripts, understands how to pick projects, and also understands how to look at production teams. The most critical thing is that he understands his own positioning very well, and will never lose his sense of proportion and overstep his authority just because he has the ability and the right to speak to let others implement his opinions. After the script of "Lost on Journey" came out, he first talked to me seriously several times to confirm that my grasp and ideas on the film were generally consistent before deciding to cooperate. And once this point was confirmed, he safely handed the whole project to me, including the choice of director and other filming matters, and he never interfered again. Only Dashan, because we hadn't found a suitable actor, he suddenly met Dashan one day, felt it was very suitable, and introduced him to me very excitedly, letting me meet him."

"Cooperating with Lu Yan He on a film is a very comfortable thing; he respects everyone. He may have many considerations and hesitate before deciding to cooperate with you, but once he decides, he will fully trust you."

After Jia Long finished saying these things, he smiled at the media.

"Do you think he will still quarrel with me because of creative differences?"

The media published what Jia Long said exactly as it was.

At the same time, with the release of "Lost on Journey," Wang Dashan also became popular.

Entertainment critic Guan Su Chen said: Lu Yan He has once again made a newcomer popular whom no one knew before.

Niu Geng, played by Wang Dashan, is completely the soul of "Lost on Journey," and is even more in the eye of the play than Jia Long.

Several famous scenes in the film are all on the character of Niu Geng.

The shot of Wang Dashan drinking a bucket of milk in one breath at the airport was also posted on the internet by the film party on the fifth day after the release, as a promotional clip, promoted across the entire network.

This shot uses a long take.

There are no editing points in the middle.

Only in this way is it real, and because it is real, it is shocking.

At that time, Jia Long and the director had already agreed on this scene, just shoot it once, and Wang Dashan couldn't be allowed to drink it twice.

That scene was rehearsed five times just to get it done in one take.

Wang Dashan's performance stunned everyone.

It really was done in one take.

Many actors, although they are the lead actors of a film, and this film sells well and is relatively popular, the lead actor himself is not remembered by the audience, or it has not been converted into a feeling of liking.

But Wang Dashan's performance in "Lost on Journey" cannot be ignored. As long as you like the film "Lost on Journey," you will inevitably like the character Niu Geng, and then have an extra layer of filter for the actor Wang Dashan. This is the charm given to the actor by the character and the film. The cornerstone of "Lost on Journey" is actually on the character of Niu Geng.

How popular is Wang Dashan?

Many things about him in the film academy have been dug up. This is the proof of fame—if it is just popularity hyped up, no one will care about this person's past.

However, Wang Dashan also fell into a very awkward situation. That is, many people think he is very rural, and although he is popular, he is not liked and recognized by the mainstream of the entertainment industry.

Many people in the circle, when talking about this young man who has just become popular, have a unified reaction: they don't think he can continue to be popular.

Because he doesn't have the idol temperament.

Such discussions are not few.

When Wang Dashan hadn't finished the roadshow for "Lost on Journey," some media asked this question to his face.

"Many people say that your image restricts your future acting path, how do you view this problem?"

Wang Dashan was a bit confused, scratched his head, and said: "I don't know."

"Are there any new filming plans later?"

Wang Dashan shook his head, "Not yet."

The media said: "Have you ever worried that the box office of the first film you starred in is so good, if you can't play the lead later, will you accept it?"

Wang Dashan still had that dull personality, saying: "If I can't play the lead, I'll just play a supporting role."

"Won't you feel lost?"

"I don't know," Wang Dashan said, "You are telling me these things now, and I can't feel it. Now everyone sees me and praises me, and wants to make an appointment with me, I haven't felt what you said."

Reporter: "..."

Lu Yan He watched this segment of Wang Dashan's interview and sighed softly.

The entertainment industry is indeed too realistic.

The doubts, cold treatment, and lack of optimism that Wang Baoqiang once experienced are now happening to Wang Dashan again.

Lu Yan He sent a message to Wang Dashan: The media likes to pick fights, as long as the play is good, the acting path will become wider and wider. You acted in "Lost on Journey," and Teacher Jia Long signed you to his company, which shows that you are not only able to play Niu Geng, this is the best proof.

Wang Dashan: Mm-hmm.

Wang Dashan also said: Being able to get the opportunity to star in "Lost on Journey," I know I am already very lucky, thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Lu Yan He: Then I also thank you for playing Niu Geng so well, let's work hard together.

Wang Dashan: Mm-hmm.

Wang Dashan is not a person who is very good at expressing emotions. Lu Yan He felt this the first time he met Wang Dashan.

He is a bit honest and very sincere.

Probably because he really liked Wang Baoqiang before, Lu Yan He hoped that Wang Dashan would develop well out of love for the house and its crow.

Just like Wang Baoqiang, let those who don't look at him, question him, and ridicule him realize what a big mistake they made.

"Lost on Journey" was released for a week, and the total box office exceeded 250 million.

And "City Strategy," which was released on the same day, has not yet exceeded 200 million. The worst thing is that its screen time can no longer hold up. New films are coming aggressively, a sci-fi film called "Machine Era" and a romantic comedy called "My Neighbor" have entered the market without stopping, and the screen time on Friday was divided by about 35% by the two new films.

Because of the good trend, "Lost on Journey" still got a 17% screen time rate on the second Friday, stabilized its basic market, and can continue to welcome viewers on the weekend.

After two weeks of release, the box office of the small dark horse "Nine Yin" on weekdays only remained in the range of 2-3 million, basically unable to eat the big head anymore. After the screen time was divided, more than half was given to the two new films, and a small half was given to the still strong "Angry Crow."

"Nine Yin" has currently got 4.1 billion in box office, and it is expected that the final box office may smoothly break through 4.5 billion. If you are lucky and the long-tail effect can last a little longer, it can also break through 5 billion, depending on the situation later.

And "Angry Crow" exploded too hard, and two weeks of screening did not affect its popularity in the market. With a total box office of over 1.8 billion, it still maintained a box office income of tens of millions on weekdays, and in the weekend, it can obviously earn another 200-300 million.

The total box office forecast of "Lost on Journey" by professional box office forecasting agencies has reached 600 million.

Where the final landing point is, it depends on what kind of performance it can have in the second weekend.

"What do you think the final box office of "Lost on Journey" can be?"

At the executive meeting of Long Yan Films, Huang Tai rarely appeared at this meeting—usually, she basically wouldn't formally attend the company's meetings. She often enters film projects directly as a producer or other identities, and promotes the advancement of projects through her power.

Everyone looked at each other when they heard Huang Tai's question, and no one spoke for a while.

Mainly because everyone didn't know what Huang Tai's purpose was for suddenly throwing out this question.

However, the scene couldn't be cold for too long.

Someone tentatively said: "Probably, the investment in this film is actually not large, mainly spent on Jia Long and Lu Yan He. In fact, they can get so much box office now, which has already exceeded the industry's expectations."

"Well, so, I also really want to know why the film "Lost on Journey" can achieve a box office that exceeds our expectations? Has anyone analyzed the reason?"

Someone said: "Mainly because it is starring Jia Long. A comedy film starring Jia Long, just this name is enough to attract many viewers to the cinema, plus the quality of this film is very good, forming a good reputation, the subsequent box office of this film has also stabilized, and it has obtained a longer window period."

Huang Tai said: "When this project was created, it wasn't that everyone didn't notice Jia Long starring, nor was it that everyone didn't consider the attraction of Lu Yan He as a screenwriter, but, almost without exception, everyone thought the estimated box office of this film was only about 200-300 million, and the profit space was very limited. Why can such a so-called rural comedy film with the Spring Festival travel rush as the background achieve such good box office results now? And it is still in such a summer season that is not too suitable?"

"The quality of the film is indeed really good," someone said. "I went to watch this film, and in the cinema I was in, everyone laughed from beginning to end. Lu Yan He's script is written very well, golden sentences and jokes are one after another, and the actors also played well. I haven't had this experience of laughing from beginning to end for a long time."

Huang Tai nodded.

"On the contrary, the film "City Strategy," how many movie stars? It can almost be said to be an all-star lineup, but the box office is not satisfactory. Now it seems that the final total box office may not exceed 300 million."

"The quality of "City Strategy" is actually not bad, but it encountered such a schedule, and there are films with good reputation like "Angry Crow," "Lost on Journey," and "Nine Yin" on the market, so it is no longer the first choice for many passersby viewers."

"Do you mean that if "City Strategy" was released in a schedule without films with too good reputation, its box office would be much better?"

"That's what I think."

Huang Tai nodded, "Then I want to ask, when the script of the film "Lost on Journey" was sent over, why didn't any of us see the potential of this script?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Huang Tai said: "Is it because the screenwriter of this script is Lu Yan He, so even if you think the script is good, you don't dare to believe that it is the work of an artist who is a screenwriter for the first time, right?"

The conference room was silent.

On the other side, Lang Xia's agent He Yingzi also said with a sour tone to Lang Xia: "I really don't understand Lu Yan He. He is an actor himself, but he didn't arrange himself to be the lead of this film, but gave it to a newcomer to star. Now that Wang Dashan has become popular overnight and fully enjoyed the dividends brought by the film, Lu Yan He, a screenwriter, basically has no splash."

Lang Xia didn't speak.

In any case, Lu Yan He is not someone he can compare to now. If he still complains about Lu Yan He, then what is he who hasn't even reached half of Lu Yan He's achievements?

He Yingzi asked: "Have you watched the film "Lost on Journey"?"

Lang Xia shook his head, "No."

He Yingzi said: "You can watch it when you have time."

Lang Xia asked: "Watched it, and then what? Constantly regretting messing up the relationship with Lu Yan He?"

"You," He Yingzi smiled, looking like she didn't take these things to heart at all, "What's the rush? In a place like the entertainment industry, you sing and I appear. "Flowers on the Stars" is about to be released soon, and the forecast situation of box office forecasting agencies is very good, so why do you have to belittle yourself."

Lang Xia was silent.

He Yingzi said: "Besides, Lu Yan He himself is a director and a screenwriter, running so many tracks at the same time, it is bound to disperse a lot of his energy. From the current situation, it can be seen that his popularity and fan stickiness are still not as good as Li Zhibai's, and you are not much worse than him."

"This line of work doesn't just look at popularity."

"This line of work is also not enough just to have an actor," He Yingzi said, "As long as you are still at this table and haven't gone down, no matter how successful Lu Yan He is, it won't affect your meal."

Lang Xia glanced at He Yingzi, thinking, He Yingzi completely thinks that he can't catch up with Lu Yan He.

Actors are the group of people with the most glamorous appearance in the entertainment industry.

However, more and more people know that, in fact, the status of actors in the entertainment industry is not as high as they present.

Except for a very small number of actors standing at the top of the pyramid, those who really have the right to speak in the entertainment industry are producers and directors, and the production companies and capital parties behind them.

Lu Yan He created a film like "Lost on Journey" with a box office of over 600 million as a screenwriter, and received a lot of praise at the script level, which gave him a golden body in addition to being an actor.

For any industry, talents with creative ability are the most precious and needed.

He has received many congratulatory messages these days.

Especially many film companies, this time they are holding real money to ask him if he has any other scripts in his hands.

Any invitation, any cooperation, all rejected first. ===== CHAPTER 451 =====
