Chapter 550: Big Arrogant Brother, Little Arrogant Brother (5,000-word update!)

After the interview with "Variety" ended, Lu Yan He had ten minutes of rest time.

Only then did he have time to drink the soup Wan Qingqing stewed for him.

Today there was almost no time to eat. He could only eat something and drink some soup like this, to replenish energy.

Chen Ziyan sat next to him and said: "Good news."

"Hmm?"

"After your live interview on CBN morning news, the real-time search for 'Friends' on Maxine has reached the first place. A total of 320,000 people have searched for this drama in the past two hours."

"I don't know how many audiences can be converted."

"CBN morning news has millions of viewers. Coupled with Kesser Murray's interview with you, several clips of your response spread relatively well on the foreign internet, causing some attention. If it can eventually bring more than one million effective viewers to 'Friends,' that is a huge success, and it is not in vain that Maxine connected you to this program."

Lu Yan He smiled.

"Why didn't they arrange for other leads to go? My time is too tight."

"You think their time isn't tight? In China, as long as you are popular, you don't need overseas itineraries to be busy," Chen Ziyan laughed. "However, the main reason is because your performance overseas has always been very good. Programs with high attention like CBN morning news are not something anyone can go on if they want to. Even if it is a program opportunity obtained by Maxine's public relations, it's not that Maxine can say anyone can go. Otherwise, Maxine would of course hope that the promotion opportunities for 'Friends' are the more the better."

Lu Yan He asked: "Is Yan Liang not okay now? 'The Gold Rush' also brought him a lot of attention."

"At the public level, it's still a lot worse," Chen Ziyan said. "However, Zhou Ping'an played a good game in this regard. Although Yan Liang didn't get a promotion opportunity like CBN, Zhou Ping'an still used his connections and relationships in Asia to connect many media for him, and did character interviews and reports for him with the hit of 'The Gold Rush' and 'Friends'."

"Zhou Ping'an... so generous? He is willing to let Yan Liang be known by more people?" Lu Yan He was quite surprised to hear Chen Ziyan say this, because this was not in line with Zhou Ping'an's style in his cognition.

Chen Ziyan: "Who knows what he is thinking. To be fair, you want to say Zhou Ping'an's heart is dirty, it's not, it's just many flashy operations."

Lu Yan He: "He is really a very magical person."

To this day, Lu Yan He has to admit this point.

For his former agent, the longer he knows him, the more curious Lu Yan He is about him.

This curiosity is not something else, mainly wanting to know what he is thinking in his brain.

Why did he frequently do those flashy operations of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Again and again, tireless.

Chen Ziyan: "By the way, Fu Li wants to come to the program 'The Birth of an Actor,' do you know?"

"Know."

"She said directly during the interview that she was not satisfied with her current development status, so she wanted to find an opportunity to make her career improve."

"Then do they plan to let her go on the program?"

"Still discussing, a bit hesitant, mainly because she had a school bullying scandal in the past. Although this scandal was suppressed later, I don't know if it's true or not, just afraid it's true, and it will explode again."

"This kind of risk is easy to explode," Lu Yan He said.

Chen Ziyan: "But this little girl, I have seen her, very ambitious, and very energetic. As long as she doesn't admit defeat and keeps this state, it's only a matter of time before she gets ahead. Her conditions are really too good. As long as she has a little fame in the future, the fashion circle will definitely be mixed."

Lu Yan He nodded.

After chatting, Lu Yan He ended the rest and continued the interview with another media.

Sometimes, many people will question, in such an era of big media with millions or tens of millions of traffic, why do such print media interviews that may only be seen by tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, or run roadshows when promoting movies, and at most a few hundred audiences in one session.

In fact, many people forget one point. If you want to be seen in an era of big media with millions or tens of millions of traffic, you must first have promotion points and materials.

Just like Lu Yan He, except for "Variety," the media he accepted interviews with, the final interview manuscript might not have more than 100,000 direct readers, but many contents and stories mentioned in it will be secondarily promoted and spread by other media and the promotion party contacted by Chen Ziyan.

To put it bluntly, such serious interviews are actually a rich material library, which can be used as raw materials for secondary processing by other promotion parties.

Movie roadshows are the same.

Interested people can actually see how many of the news keywords that spread widely in the movie's hot search entries were run out during the movie roadshow.

These things cannot be created out of thin air.

Nor can it be self-directed and performed by writing a script.

Never underestimate the power generated by the collision between people.

Roadshows always have accidents and surprises—accidents and surprises are news.

Interviews can also unearth the inner heart of the interviewee, unearth things that are unknown or have not been disclosed—this is the content of promotion.

Lu Yan He has long deeply understood this truth from the success of "Jump Up," so no matter the size of the media, whether the interviewer is a veteran or a newcomer in the industry, he respects them all and treats them seriously.

In this line of work, you never know when the people you meet and the things you encounter will bring you what kind of influence.

Just like that day when he suddenly went to guest star and acted in "Three Mountains" for one night, as a result, it became the main reason why many movie directors used him later, and it also became a door on his movie road that led directly to Rome.

At noon, Lu Yan He ate a piece of bread, drank the soup stewed by Wan Qingqing, and went to take a nap.

Nap time is fifteen minutes.

Subsequently, take departure photos, and then head to the premiere of "The Mist."

On the way, in the group of three, Li Bai suddenly sent him a screenshot of his interview on CBN morning news this morning, on which someone translated their conversation into Chinese subtitles.

Li Bai said: The title of Arrogant Brother is yours from now on.

Lu Yan He: Dare not, you are Arrogant Brother, I am just Arrogant Little Brother.

Yan Liang: Big Arrogant Brother, Little Arrogant Brother.

Lu Yan He: Then what are you?

Li Bai: Health-preserving old cadre.

Yan Liang: Get lost.

Lu Yan He laughed, asked: Are you guys not sleeping yet?

Li Bai: Sleep my ass, I'm memorizing lines, temporarily took your job, came to string "Friends" for you.

Lu Yan He: Just that little bit of lines, you haven't finished memorizing yet?

Li Bai: No, so what?

Lu Yan He: Come on.

Yan Liang: He deserves it, told him to memorize it early, he didn't, said no need.

Lu Yan He: Then why are you still not sleeping?

Yan Liang: Watching the script, Zhou Ping'an sent me a script.

Lu Yan He: He has been operating relatively frequently recently, suddenly so attentive to you? I heard from Sister Ziyan that he also took many overseas media interviews and reports for you.

Yan Liang: You think too much, he just wants to consolidate the label that I also have influence and popularity overseas, so he can take endorsements. Before, many brands were not interested in me. He thinks now is the time when I have the most star power. If you don't strive for endorsements at this time, it will be even harder later.

Lu Yan He: I thought he changed his nature and started to be serious and responsible for your work.

Yan Liang: He is not not serious, but his goal is not to make my career better.

Li Bai: After Meng Li went to him, there was no movement?

Yan Liang: No, it seems she is busy falling in love recently.

Li Bai:?

Yan Liang: Zhou Ping'an said.

Lu Yan He: Meng Li, falling in love? So not working? I don't believe it.

This is not the Meng Li in his impression.

Meng Li falling in love is okay, but she will definitely not give up her work for love.

This woman, although crazy, has a strong career heart.

Yan Liang: Who knows.

Li Bai: Is the premiere of "The Mist" over there about to start?

Lu Yan He: On the red carpet in an hour, screening starts at 2:30 in the afternoon.

Li Bai: See if "The Mist" can make you popular in the United States and harvest a wave of box office.

Lu Yan He laughed: That's not known, however, D19's market positioning for this movie is mainly aimed at Asian audiences and horror movie audiences, they are not optimistic about the all-age market.

Li Bai: A horror movie itself, or a movie with ghost revenge as the theme, it is impossible to become the mainstream of all ages in the United States. In that place, there are many religious beliefs, and horror movies are not family-friendly movies.

Lu Yan He: Yes, so, making me popular in the United States is almost impossible. This movie doesn't have this space. As long as its box office can be successful, that's enough.

Box office is the greatest value this movie gives Lu Yan He.

Just like Chen Ziyan's goal, as long as this movie achieves a North American box office of 70 million US dollars and a global box office of 100 million US dollars, it is successful.

His first overseas production movie belongs to success.

As for his performance in the movie... Lu Yan He is still very confident. The reaction of those staff members at the filming scene has already given him very positive feedback.

Director Mukan is not a newcomer, it is impossible to let the post-editing cut his performance into a mess.

The premiere set up a media photo red carpet area, but it is different from the big red carpet of the film festival. In fact, like the movie premiere ceremony red carpet, it is just laying a red carpet at the entrance of the screening hall and setting up a background board, not as grand as the film festival red carpet.

Lu Yan He appeared in the back position.

The staff arranged for him by D19 have been following him and guiding him since he set off from the hotel.

The whole process depends on him to lead, while Wan Qingqing and Chen Ziyan are by his side.

When he arrived at the red carpet area, Lu Yan He's car just drove over and was flashed by the flashing magnesium lights in front.

The car stopped, the door opened, and the screams outside poured in like a flood that opened the gate.

Lu Yan He got out of the car, and for a moment, he didn't see everything in front of him clearly.

He just habitually waved his hand and showed his smile to the front.

Lily Williams, who was standing with others at the entrance of the screening hall chatting and greeting, heard the screams and calls of the media and fans at the back, looked back, and saw Lu Yan He in front.

A very handsome man.

Lily Williams shook her head and smiled back at her friend.

"Lu Yan He actually has so many fans in the United States, which really surprised me."

Friend said: "His past many film and television dramas have gained some loyal fans in the United States, especially the 'Friends' series, his role is very popular."

Lily Williams said: "I can almost imagine how much they will like him when those film critics see his performance in 'The Mist'."

"Have you watched the movie?"

"Not yet, but he has already conquered everyone in the crew on the set," Lily Williams said. "He is different from those talented actors. He has a magic that can combine the method school and the experience school when acting, completely grabbing your eyes. At the beginning of this script, his role actually didn't have such a strong sense of existence."

"Lily, your evaluation of him is too exaggerated."

"This is not my evaluation alone, Arne and I both think so," Lily Williams said.

"You say this, he can completely compete for the Oscar with this movie."

"If it wasn't a horror movie, maybe he really could." This is Lily Williams' answer.

Suddenly, the next second, a roaring voice came from behind them: "Yellow monkey, go back to your own place, this is the United States!"

Even though the screams and shouts on the scene were one after another, this voice still passed into everyone's ears very loudly.

Including Lu Yan He who was on the scene.

His expression was stunned for a moment.

In this moment, many thoughts flashed through Lu Yan He's mind.

All thoughts revolved around one thing: what kind of reaction should he make, which is the most appropriate at the moment.

Lu Yan He also felt stunned at this moment.

How could he be so calm at such a time?

Being humiliated to his face, being discriminated against to his face, there was no anger and shock at all, just a little surprise.

Is it because he had thought that such things might happen?

In the United States, such things are indeed not uncommon.

Including in public occasions, some Asian celebrities have encountered similar scenes.

In that second, at least ten reactions flashed through Lu Yan He's mind. Finally, after a second of stunned and surprised expression, he gave the big guy the middle finger, his expression was a bit disdainful and angry, and he rudely replied to him: "Fuck you!"

It was English.

Lily Williams was also surprised.

She didn't even expect that at this time, she actually chose to walk back, walked to Lu Yan He's side, gave him a huge hug, and then also gave the big guy the middle finger: "You should go back to your house!"

There was a round of applause and screams on the scene.

"Let's go in, don't ignore him," Lily Williams said to Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He nodded, followed Lily Williams forward two steps, suddenly remembered something, and turned back to make a few gestures to the photographers on the scene, apologizing to them, and couldn't continue to let them take pictures.

Many photographers gave him a thumbs-up gesture.

Someone shouted: "Lu, we support you! We love you!"

The bodyguards on the scene followed Lu Yan He closely, fearing that there would be some radicals at this time, doing some more terrible things.

Arne also came out from inside at this time, standing at the door, looking at Lu Yan He and them with concern.

"Hey, brother, are you okay?" Arne asked.

"It's okay, nothing," Lu Yan He shook his head and smiled at him, "Thank you."

Arne looked at the crowd with great annoyance, as if he wanted to see who was such a jerk.

Lily Williams said: "That person has already been driven away."

The sudden situation on the red carpet became the talk of everyone before the movie screening.

Of course, this also made Lu Yan He be concerned and asked by everyone after he went in.

Lu Yan He didn't expect that the sentence he said the most before the movie "The Mist" was screened was "It's okay, I'm fine."

In the lounge next to the screening hall, the lounge door was open, and many people could see D19 film company's promotion director Elena Green and the company's CEO Scott Harris standing together.

They had just finished talking with director Mukan.

The news from the red carpet made people in the screening hall who were ready to watch the movie whisper to each other again.

Seeing this scene, Elena Green showed a subtle smile to Scott Harris.

Scott Harris saw Lu Yan He and Lily Williams and others come in together, and was instantly surrounded by many people. He said to Elena Green: "Okay, we have to hurry up to express our condolences."

"Of course," Elena Green took out her phone and checked the real-time situation on Twitter, "Scott, don't forget what you promised me, 'The Mist' North American box office exceeds 100 million, you have to support me to become a partner."

"We already talked about it, didn't we?" Scott Harris showed Elena Green a smile of "this is not a problem."

As a column film critic for "Variety" magazine, Tang Mu Wayne naturally came to the premiere of "The Mist" today.

After he met Lu Yan He, he expressed his anger and regret to Lu Yan He very seriously.

"I really hope you can have a happy mood in Los Angeles."

Lu Yan He shook his head and said with a smile: "Unhappy things never affect my inner happiness. I am very happy to see you here."

Tang Mu Wayne nodded and said: "I have long heard from people inside D19 that your performance in this movie is unparalleled. I rarely hear people from an American film company give such a high evaluation to an Asian actor."

"Thank you, I hope it won't make you feel that this evaluation is too exaggerated in the end," Lu Yan He said with a smile, "Tang Mu, I very much hope to hear your evaluation. I have always been able to get content that helps my performance from your evaluation."

Tang Mu Wayne nodded, "I am very happy to hear you say that."

After some greetings, Lu Yan He was finally urged to take his seat, ready to start the movie screening.

Lu Yan He took a deep breath.

From the time the incident happened until now, it can be directly described as chaotic.

He didn't have time to think back on what happened just now.

oC〇

Until sitting here.

Took a long breath.

He had a moment of distraction.

Was the reaction just now OK? Was there anything he didn't notice? What is everyone's evaluation of his reaction?

He can't take out his phone to see the comments on the internet under the eyes of everyone now.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the so-called indifference, don't care, screw the indifference, don't care. ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
