Chapter 758: Busy Summer Ahead (9000-word update!)

After introducing Wen Shengming to Wu Yang, Lu Yan He completed his task for the night.

Lu Yan He began chatting and exchanging pleasantries with others.

Just after chatting briefly with Chen Bige, Huang Zhongjing came over with a wine glass.

"General Manager Huang." Lu Yan He clinked glasses with him lightly and said, "Thank you for gracing us with your presence tonight."

Huang Zhongjing: "Don't say that. Being able to hold such an event here and let us gather together is a very good thing."

Lu Yan He smiled slightly.

"*Dragon Inn* is very popular now; you probably anticipated this situation long ago, right?" Huang Zhongjing asked with a smile.

Lu Yan He shook his head and said, "If I said no, would you believe me?"

"To be honest, I wouldn't," Huang Zhongjing said. "Liu Bige told me that putting *Dragon Inn* in the screening section was your idea."

"That is true," Lu Yan He nodded. "This film is not suitable for screening in the main competition section."

"From the current results, the screening section indeed did not affect the good word-of-mouth of *Dragon Inn*, and even made other film distributors offer higher prices than films in the main competition section."

"With a cast like *Dragon Inn*, it's not surprising to have higher prices," Lu Yan He said.

Huang Zhongjing: "Then what do you think about the film's box office overseas?"

"As long as we get normal distribution conditions, it will definitely be better than the previous *Burning Fire*," Lu Yan He said bluntly.

Huang Zhongjing smiled.

He knew that Lu Yan He had always been dissatisfied with Long Yan "selling cheap" the North American distribution rights for *Burning Fire*.

Especially when the two films *Home Alone* and *Buried* exploded at the global box office, Huang Zhongjing also truly began to think about whether he had really sold *Burning Fire* cheaply.

Huang Zhongjing asked: "Then what kind of distribution conditions do you think *Dragon Inn* can get in North America?"

"General Manager Huang, that depends on how much box office you think *Dragon Inn* can get in North America," Lu Yan He said. "I don't know what Long Yan's expectations for *Dragon Inn* are, so it's hard to say."

Huang Zhongjing: "Yan He, I know we were a bit conservative about the North American distribution of *Burning Fire* before, but this time we really want to do a good job with the overseas distribution of *Dragon Inn*."

Lu Yan He smiled, nodded, and said, "Hmm, I believe you."

Huang Zhongjing: "Do you think *Dragon Inn* has a chance to break 20 million USD at the North American box office?"

Lu Yan He: "How would I know for sure?"

Huang Zhongjing: "You definitely understand better than us."

Lu Yan He: "General Manager Huang, why don't you go and communicate with the several distributors in North America who are bidding? See what their attitude is. They definitely understand the North American market better than I do. I can't just casually state my judgment; if I say it wrong, how embarrassing."

Anyway, Lu Yan He was impervious to persuasion and refused to say his expectations for *Dragon Inn*.

Seeing this, Huang Zhongjing could only give up.

He asked with a smile: "Then do you have any thoughts on writing a second part for *Dragon Inn*?"

"No," Lu Yan He shook his head. "This story is already very complete as it is."

Huang Zhongjing nodded and asked again: "If we want to develop a second part, can you authorize it to us?"

Lu Yan He smiled and said: "General Manager Huang, I wrote the script for *Dragon Inn* for Liu Bige to film, not for Long Yan. My cooperation with you hasn't been very pleasant."

Huang Zhongjing was stunned.

Lu Yan He: "If I really wanted to make money with the story of *Dragon Inn*, why wouldn't I write a sequel myself and find someone to film it? Why would I authorize Long Yan to film it?"

Huang Zhongjing: "That is of course, I also know that if we make a sequel, it would definitely be Long Yan and Linghe working together on this sequel film."

"General Manager Huang, forget it, tonight is not suitable for talking about these things." Lu Yan He felt bored chatting with Huang Zhongjing and didn't have the energy to continue talking about these things with him. "Tonight, I invited everyone over, which is a rare opportunity. I still have many people I need to greet. I can't have words coming out of my mouth and being taken by you to negotiate terms with those distributors."

Lu Yan He raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at Huang Zhongjing with his eyes, and then walked away.

He had pointed it out clearly enough; if Huang Zhongjing still came over shamelessly to talk about these things later, he really wouldn't bother responding.

Lu Yan He had been in a pretty good mood tonight.

When Huang Zhongjing came over and opened his mouth, Lu Yan He knew exactly what he was calculating.

If Huang Zhongjing had wanted to understand the relevant market situation, Lu Yan He would have been happy to share. But as soon as Huang Zhongjing came up, he wanted to get some of his expectations for *Dragon Inn*—

Lu Yan He knew too well what Huang Zhongjing wanted to use these words for at this time.

It can only be said that this couple at Long Yan each has their own "arrogance."

"Hi—" Lu Yan He hugged Evan Galdi enthusiastically. "Evan, I'm so glad to see you again tonight."

Evan Galdi said: "Lu, you are simply a miracle. You've actually brought another film that surprises us."

Lu Yan He said: "You know, before the premiere, I really didn't know if this Chinese Wu Xia film would be liked by you. Many people told me that this film is not that easy for foreigners to understand."

"We really like this film! At least I do, and I didn't find it hard to understand at all," Evan Galdi said. "Moreover, this film is filmed so beautifully; every frame is such a beautiful picture. How else does it need to be understood? Does it need to be interpreted frame by frame for the audience?"

Lu Yan He showed a look of relief. "Thank you for supporting this film, which is why it has its current momentum. I always say that the Hexi Film Festival is my lucky place, and it really is."

Evan Galdi laughed.

"I was just about to tell you, we want to book a long, in-depth interview with the *Dragon Inn* crew, is that possible?" he asked. "We want to do a good feature article. I have a premonition, Lu, that this film will become a classic."

Lu Yan He nodded immediately.

"Of course, no problem," he said. "But you know, this film involves many people, so it might be a bit hard to coordinate time, especially in the last few days, everyone has their own schedule. If it can't be done in these few days, I also invite you to Yuming. We are about to hold the third Film Critics International Film Festival. You came for the first two years, and this year I ask you to support us as always."

Evan Galdi nodded.

"Of course, this is the only international film festival in the world with film critics as the protagonists, and it's held so well, so of course we will participate," he said with a smile. "I heard you also invited Wu Yang to go?"

"Yes," Lu Yan He nodded. "You should know about the funding problems of the Hexi Film Festival, right? I invited him over to make contact and see if there's any way to help him. The Hexi Film Festival is a very different existence for us filmmakers, and we all hope it can be held for a long, long time and smoothly."

The film magazine *Hexi Film* can be said to be closely tied to the Hexi Film Festival.

They prosper together and suffer together.

Evan Galdi must also be very concerned about the trends of the Hexi Film Festival.

Lu Yan He being able to say this naturally made Evan Galdi feel comforted.

"Thank you." Evan Galdi shook Lu Yan He's hand sincerely and patted his shoulder. "You will always be our friend."

Lu Yan He nodded with a smile.

After finishing his chat with Evan Galdi, he turned his head, and the scene in front of him was like every common party, with everyone enthusiastically communicating and exchanging pleasantries with the people next to them.

But what was different was that this time, many of the faces he saw were familiar and kind.

Although organizing a party himself is a bit troublesome, it also has its benefits. Broadly speaking, there is a kind of home-field advantage, but in reality, the truly comfortable part is that these people all have a relationship with him.

People who are rarely met are all encountered on this night. Being in a foreign land can increase the intimacy between people, and a place crowned with honor makes this night interwoven with a sense of meaning and ritual that permeates from the depths of the heart.

The people met and the conversations had tonight were all different.

Chen Ziyan walked through the crowd, came over, and held his face with both hands.

"Are you okay?" Chen Ziyan asked with a smile.

Lu Yan He saw Chen Ziyan and also smiled.

"I'm okay."

"You seem to be a little tipsy," Chen Ziyan said.

"A little bit," Lu Yan He laughed. "Sister Ziyan, sorry to trouble you to rush over again."

"If I don't rush over at this time, when should I rush over?" Chen Ziyan said. "I will go to visit the Hexi Film Festival Executive Committee with Wen Shengming tomorrow."

"In the name of the China Film Association?"

"Yes," Chen Ziyan said. "This way we can also learn more about the situation. Our visit this time is mainly to invite them to participate in our domestic Yuming International Film Festival."

"Yuming International Film Festival?" Lu Yan He nodded. "This film festival won't be held until the second half of the year, right?"

"Yes," Chen Ziyan said. "We only have two international film festivals with some fame in our country, and the Yuming International Film Festival is one of them. Inviting them in this name is more justifiable."

"Okay," Lu Yan He said. "Anyway, this matter cannot be forced. We take the initiative to offer an olive branch and let them know our attitude, that's enough. Whether it succeeds in the end depends on fate. If we can make the connection between the Hexi Film Festival and Chinese films deeper, it won't be a wasted trip."

"Of course," Chen Ziyan nodded. "You are not in the country, so you don't know. Before Wen Shengming came out, he specifically told people in the country that no matter whether this matter succeeds or not, it cannot affect your image in the overseas film circle, and it cannot be done to make Wu Yang and the others have opinions about you just to bring the Hexi Film Festival to China."

Lu Yan He: "Teacher Wen is indeed such an elder."

"Yes, I was also a bit worried at first, fearing that some people would use the so-called 'great cause' to pressure you to do things that don't conform to morality just to borrow this opportunity to bring the Hexi Film Festival to China."

Lu Yan He sneered, "Then I won't be pressured by these people now. If they want to stand on the moral high ground to pressure me, they have to see if they can stand up there."

Chen Ziyan: "That's what you say, but it's disgusting when a bunch of people really come to pressure you for their own interests."

Lu Yan He: "Then I'll curse them to death."

Chen Ziyan: "..."

Chen Ziyan: "You're just all talk."

"Then you help me curse them to death."

Chen Ziyan: "I don't have your ability."

Lu Yan He laughed.

That night, Lu Yan He didn't return to the hotel to rest until two in the morning.

The next day, Lu Yan He slept until the sun was high. At noon, he had lunch with Schmidt Lawley of Green Valley Pictures.

Schmidt Lawley chatted with Lu Yan He about the film *Dragon Inn*.

What surprised Lu Yan He was that Schmidt Lawley also seemed to care very much about Lu Yan He's opinion on the film's box office performance in the North American market.

Lu Yan He thought for a moment and said bluntly: "As long as it is distributed normally, based on the foundation laid by Wu Xia films in North America before, with Director Liu Bige, me as the screenwriter, and the current cast, plus the word-of-mouth explosion at the Hexi Film Festival and the trend of media praising this film, it can at least guarantee a box office of 15 million USD."

"But what I'm not clear about is how acceptable the Wu Xia genre is to North American audiences now," Lu Yan He said again. "I also don't know if such a film should be distributed as a commercial action film or as an art film from a film festival for the North American market. This needs to be judged by you. I understand the Chinese market better; *Dragon Inn* is definitely distributed according to the idea of a blockbuster in China and even in Asia, but whether it is the same in North America needs to be judged by you."

Schmidt Lawley said directly: "Blockbuster? Are you implying that *Dragon Inn* also has the possibility of exploding like *Home Alone*?"

Lu Yan He said: "The box office explosion of *Home Alone* had factors of right time, right place, and right people. I don't know if *Dragon Inn* will encounter such an opportunity. Personally, I think if it explodes, there is only one factor, and that is that the Wu Xia film itself is of high enough quality and the theme is fresh enough for the current North American market, making everyone's eyes light up."

Schmidt Lawley nodded.

Lu Yan He had actually buried some nails in his words, just to see if it could really arouse some of Schmidt Lawley's ambition.

"I'm curious, why didn't you make this film yourself, but handed it over to Long Yan to produce?"

"My production company is just a small company, and we only make small productions like *Home Alone*," Lu Yan He smiled. "The production budget for *Dragon Inn* is not small, and I can't afford it."

Schmidt Lawley realized.

Schmidt Lawley said: "Linghe Company brought *Oh My Sea* this time. Well, this is really a somewhat strange name. I also went to see this film. Do you hope to hand it over to us for distribution?"

"What do you think of this film?"

"I know you hope the film can be screened in theaters, but according to my idea, this film is suitable for direct streaming, plus home entertainment sales," Schmidt Lawley said. "This film, even if screened in theaters, we will only do a small-scale release, at most 100 theaters; it has no selling points."

Lu Yan He nodded: "I understand what you're saying, Schmidt. If Green Valley is willing to distribute *Oh My Sea*, I'm very happy. Basically, all my Chinese films are distributed by you, especially this kind of art film, you have very mature distribution strategies."

Schmidt Lawley knew Lu Yan He's thoughts as soon as he heard him say this.

The sales of *Oh My Sea* at the Hexi Film Festival were not hot.

Mainly because the screening of the film didn't attract much attention, nor did it cause much discussion in the media.

However, it was a work in the screening section of the Hexi Film Festival, and one of the producers of this film was Lu Yan He.

Major film distributors deal with Linghe a lot.

Linghe's asking price was not high, and for this film, they took the route of "small profits but quick turnover."

Basically, they sold the distribution rights for a six-figure USD price.

But all in all, *Oh My Sea* sold distribution rights in about 13 countries and regions, totaling nearly 3 million USD.

Linghe directly issued a bulletin announcing this news.

The production cost of *Oh My Sea* was also announced before. 2 million RMB. Now, the film hasn't been released yet, and just the overseas distribution alone sold nearly 3 million USD in 13 countries and regions.

Directly bloody profit.

The media directly flooded the screen.

Knowing that this is easy to attract attention, or even be criticized, Linghe still issued this bulletin, just to release to the outside world their strength in overseas distribution.

A small-budget film with a cost of only 2 million can also earn more than a film with a box office of over 100 million.

I don't know how many film companies are jealous.

The film *Oh My Sea* was able to sell distribution rights in so many places so quickly, of course, not because the film itself is very good, nor because the Hexi Film Festival's signboard is loud enough.

It is mainly because Linghe has relied on the overseas sales of many films in the past to get to know a large group of overseas film distributors.

These distributors prioritize watching *Oh My Sea*, and among films of the same level, they also prioritize buying this film—

Finally, there was such a result.

Years of accumulation, blooming today.

"According to his way of playing, he can earn more money by spending 6 million to make three films every year than we spend 200 million to make one film."

"Who can I reason with?"

"Heh, USD is easy to earn."

For a time, in the domestic film industry, everyone was discussing (sour).

What made them most depressed was that they couldn't earn this money.

Overseas film distributors used to only recognize those big domestic directors, but now they are willing to buy Lu Yan He's works as well.

Besides that, no matter what kind of Chinese film it is, everyone thinks that the overseas market is not big.

Of course, except for genre films, some genre films have always had a market.

For example, this time coming to Hexi, several film distributors asked Lu Yan He if he had any family comedy film projects like *Home Alone* next, or thriller horror films like *Buried*. They were very interested—

This is not because *Home Alone* and *Buried* are global hits and they want to follow the trend, but because the themes of these two films are enduring and have always been hot sellers.

In the film field, several types of genre films are definitely not worried about selling. First, horror films or high-energy reversal suspense films; second, romance films with some erotic elements; third, films with very creative themes, such as *Buried*.

If it is produced by Linghe, they all want to take action in advance. After *Home Alone* and *Buried*, there will be no shortage of competitors for Linghe's subsequent films.

In fact, besides these two films that exploded at the global box office, *Phone* and *Love Letter* produced by Linghe before also made various film distributors earn a fortune.

The long-tail effect of this film in streaming on-demand, DVD rental, etc., is very strong.

Although it didn't bring in the income of *Home Alone* and *Buried* at the box office, it is not inferior in other copyright aspects.

This is why *Oh My Sea* launched by Linghe, without famous directors, famous screenwriters, and famous actors, still sold copyrights in 13 countries and regions in just a few days at the Hexi Film Festival.

Linghe has already proven their commercial strength in film production with several films of completely different themes.

They also believe that *Oh My Sea* can bring them considerable income—especially relative to the cost that is not high enough itself.

When Lu Yan He left Hexi, *Oh My Sea* successfully sold distribution rights in 2 more countries. Although they were all small countries, totaling only 130,000 USD—

But the same sentence, for a small-budget film like *Oh My Sea*, even a mosquito is meat, small profits but quick turnover.

Lu Yan He sent a message to Chen Yin, saying that small-budget films like *Oh My Sea* can be made more. Indeed, with Linghe's current cooperative relationship with overseas film distributors, as long as the film is good, Linghe doesn't need to worry about films with production costs of millions not being able to break even.

This gave them the confidence to do these new works by newcomers.

Chen Yin also sent a plan to Lu Yan He.

It turns out that Chen Yin has a medium-to-long-term plan for Linghe.

Chen Yin hopes to build a thriller series like *Buried* at Linghe, launching a concept thriller film like *Buried* every year, which has no gods, demons, or ghosts, so it can be released domestically, and it can also be made into a Linghe brand.

In this regard, Chen Yin is preparing to unite with *Jump Up* magazine and Ye Mai Network to hold a "Thriller Novel/Script Award" once a year, soliciting submissions on themes from creators all over the world, deciding the gold, silver, and bronze awards every year, with prize money of 300,000, 200,000, and 100,000 respectively, and simultaneously providing a film adaptation authorization contract worth 300,000-1,000,000 RMB.

Lu Yan He was very satisfied and approved of this plan proposed by Chen Yin.

Finally, Chen Yin also began to jump out of the daily affairs of company internal management and began to open up territory for Linghe.

Moreover, Lu Yan He very much agrees with this method.

Good stories are among the people, and good creative stories are even more so.

For a high-concept thriller like *Buried*, the focus is on creativity.

The creativity thought of by a few people is completely different from the creativity selected by a competition.

At the same time, Chen Yin also provided three film scripts for Lu Yan He, saying that these three film scripts are the most outstanding ones in the trial and selection of the past six months. Every script has very good ideas and thoughts, and he hopes Lu Yan He can serve as the producer and personally supervise to escort these three scripts.

To put it bluntly, it needs Lu Yan He's name to sit in town for these three films.

On the plane back to China, Lu Yan He can just read these three scripts.

Lu Yan He read the three scripts in one go.

The scripts sent by Chen Yin really fit Linghe's current route.

They are all films that can be produced with low costs.

The first script is about a group of students who, on the night they moved into a villa for a study tour, accidentally discovered a corpse in this villa, and the murderer was still in the villa.

The second script is about a 28-year-old man working in Yuming who suddenly received news that his father died in a car accident. He hurriedly returned home with his girlfriend, but discovered at the funeral that his father's corpse was actually stabbed to death by someone with a knife.

The third script is about a child who returned to the countryside in the summer to live with his grandparents. On a night when the power went out, he went on an adventure up the mountain with another child from the neighbor's house, got lost in the mountain, and started a real adventure together.

Just as Chen Yin said, the themes of these three scripts are of that conceptual type.

For such films, basically, as long as a one-sentence summary is put out, it will attract the attention of many film distributors.

However, this type of film is also very easy to have a tiger's head and a snake's tail—to have a bad ending.

After Lu Yan He read these scripts seriously, he sent a message to Chen Yin, saying okay.

Indeed, Chen Yin has dug up some good stories in the past six months.

Chen Yin's plan for these three scripts is that, except for the third script, the first and second scripts must invite a first-tier actor to act, even if the salary of a first-tier actor needs 3-5 million, it is worth it.

Chen Yin said: "A first-tier actor with enough fame, plus a good script and a good team, can get the leverage to pry the box office."

Lu Yan He felt that Chen Yin was right.

Except for the last film, Chen Yin proposed a production budget in the range of 10-15 million for the first script and the second script, with the promotion budget calculated separately.

Lu Yan He felt there was no problem.

These scripts will definitely sell better overseas than *Oh My Sea*. The theme is right here.

With Lu Yan He's agreement, Chen Yin immediately went to prepare.

Lu Yan He thought for a moment and told Chen Yin: For the first script, for the role of the team leader female teacher, you can ask Jiang Yuqian, Wang Jing, or Yu Mengling; for the second script, for the male lead role, you can ask Huang Kai, Li Yuefeng.

Chen Yin immediately said okay.

Chen Yin asked again: For the third script, can we invite Huang Feng to act?

Lu Yan He said: Does Huang Feng still have time to film other plays now?

Chen Yin said: If Huang Feng can't act, we can only audition child actors nationwide.

Lu Yan He: Okay, other films also have many roles that need auditioning.

Chen Yin: Yes, the production budget for these projects must be controlled between 10-15 million. If a first-tier actor is to be used, other roles can only find actors with lower salaries.

Lu Yan He: Hmm.

Lu Yan He has always very much agreed with the role of stars in a project, but he doesn't think every project needs to use an all-star lineup.

For this kind of high-concept film, it is even more so.

For this kind of film, unless you really film it particularly well, otherwise, it is actually very difficult to become mainstream, and the average box office is between 100-300 million.

Even if you invite four or five famous actors, it is still the same box office.

The market is just that big.

Therefore, using a first-tier actor to open up the fame and attention of this film is about enough. Adding other famous actors, each of whom has a salary of at least hundreds of thousands, adds up to a lot of money, but the effect and significance are not great, which is really unnecessary.

Of course, if you can't invite actors with a salary of more than 5 million, you can also use some quasi-first-tier actors in the salary range of 1-3 million to create a lineup that looks quite star-studded.

Chen Yin's thinking on these three projects completely executed Lu Yan He's positioning for Linghe at the current stage.

With Lu Yan He's agreement, Chen Yin immediately went to file and set up these three scripts.

Once filed, the action couldn't be hidden.

The news that Linghe was preparing three new films at the same time spread throughout the entertainment industry.

For a time, people inquiring about the news swarmed in.

Chen Yin was not polite either, directly releasing the news that the production budget for these three films was very small, and except for the first lead, the salary budget for other roles did not exceed 200,000.

Once the news was released, there were fewer people inquiring.

However, there were still many people inquiring whether the first lead role had been decided.

Chen Yin said bluntly that they would prioritize choosing from actors who had cooperated with Linghe before, but as for who, he didn't say.

Lu Yan He had just returned to Ziyuanqiao from the airport when Li Yuefeng's phone call came in excitedly.

"You're really a good friend!"

Hearing Li Yuefeng's excited voice, Lu Yan He knew he must have received the news.

"Don't be happy too early. The script wasn't written by me, and it's not a big production," Lu Yan He said. "It's just that the script is not bad, and the role is relatively suitable for you, so I asked them to ask you first if you want to act."

"I don't have to think about it. With your 100% Midas touch rate, and it's the first lead role, I'd have to be brain-damaged not to act," Li Yuefeng said. "It's just that the salary you gave is too low, only 4 million. If I act in other films, it would at least double."

4 million?

Lu Yan He immediately understood that Chen Yin probably threw out a number first, and there would be room for increase later, which would facilitate negotiations.

"Small production, steady progress," Lu Yan He said. "The production budget for the whole film is only 10-15 million."

Li Yuefeng said: "Okay, this is the first time you've handed me a script for a lead role. Even if you give me a lower salary, I have to take it, but I will prove to you that I am definitely worth a higher salary."

Lu Yan He: "I... forget it."

He originally wanted to say that a salary of 4 million is actually not low. In the current film market, except for those few actors standing at the top of the pyramid, many actors can't even ask for a price. Being able to give Li Yuefeng the salary of a first-tier actor is still because he has been red-hot in recent years.

Li Yuefeng said: "Okay, okay, don't be embarrassed. I'll work with my agent and won't let him bargain with you."

"Don't, I don't want you to suffer either, but the budget is just this budget," Lu Yan He said. "But you can choose to use part of the salary as an investment and enjoy the profit sharing later."

Li Yuefeng gasped.

"Is it profit sharing for the whole film?"

"Yes," Lu Yan He said. "I opened this salary not because I don't want to give a higher salary, but because I really don't want the film produced by Linghe to be a high-risk situation."

Li Yuefeng: "Then can I convert all my salary into investment? For the part that should be shared with my company, I'll pay for it out of my own pocket."

Lu Yan He: "... You think beautifully, at most I'll give you a share of 1 million."

Li Yuefeng: "That's fine, it's a deal. You're really a good friend!"

Lu Yan He: "In this film, you are the only big star, so it's up to you to hold it up."

Li Yuefeng: "You wait and see, I tell you, inviting me is absolutely worth more than the price."

Lu Yan He: "Okay."

Not long after, the film *Corpse Phase* was officially announced, starring: Li Yuefeng.

Not long after, the film *Summer Night Villa Horror* was officially announced, starring: Wang Jing.

Immediately after, *Childhood is an Adventure on a Summer Night* announced that it would launch auditions nationwide to select two child actors.

Jiang Yuqian called.

"Yan He, sorry, I can't act in *Summer Night Villa Horror*. I've already taken two plays next year," Jiang Yuqian said.

"It's okay, Sister Yuqian, let's cooperate again when you have time," Lu Yan He said.

Jiang Yuqian: "Okay, when *Summer Night Villa Horror* is released later, I'll come to book the whole theater."

"Haha, okay."

Announcing three films in one go injected a shot in the arm into this cold film market.

And at the end of May, the drama version of *Rouge* was scheduled to be launched and broadcast on the Dragon Boat Festival.

At the same time, *You Are the Apple of My Eye* released its first promotional trailer.

*Chinese Paladin* also released its first official trailer, starting the second round of promotion.

*Dragon Inn* announced that it was scheduled to be released on July 14.

The Hollywood film *Hurricane 2* also released a trailer, and this film will land in the summer file in August and be released globally.

Throughout May, news related to Lu Yan He emerged one after another, very lively.

Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yan He: "It's going to be busy this summer."

Lu Yan He said: "Is *Burning Fire 2* starting filming next week?"

"Yes," Chen Ziyan said. "You have to film in the group for two months this time, and you have to ask for leave to come out in the middle to cooperate with the promotion of *Hurricane 2*."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Busy, busy again. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 759 =====
