Chapter 765: See you or not (8400 words update!)

Throughout the gala, the actors were sitting under the stage.

Five large round tables.

From directors to actors, from photographers to group screenwriters, Yuehu TV not only invited most of them, but also really put bowls and chopsticks on the round tables and prepared a lot of food.

After Lu Yanhe came in, he greeted everyone.

The audience area behind also issued tsunami-like cheers.

Lu Yanhe waved to the audience area and, under the guidance of the guide, came to his seat.

His seat was next to Luo Dao Yuzhong.

"Teacher."

Lu Yanhe greeted Luo Dao Yuzhong first and hugged him.

"Ouch, working out recently? Looks like you've become a lot stronger." Luo Yuzhong smiled and patted Lu Yanhe's arm.

Lu Yanhe nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, working out recently, in the next movie, I have to show muscles, so I have to work out."

Luo Yuzhong: "Working out is good, you look a lot less scholarly now."

Lu Yanhe: "I have long been a lot less scholarly."

"Not when filming 'Xianjian'."

"That's because the character needed it."

"I thought you were playing yourself at the time."

"That's because you have prejudice."

Lu Yanhe sat down, "'Xianjian' is really too popular, it is also online on hp, and the people at hp told me that it is very popular in Asia."

"I heard that too, it seems to have taken the first place in several Asian countries."

"Xianxia subject matter is indeed the ruling area of our Chinese film and television dramas." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "South Korea wants to remake this drama."

"So fast?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe said, "Before, the remake rate of Chinese dramas was relatively high, usually ancient idol dramas. 'Xianjian' has so many special effects scenes, and the quality is so high, the difficulty of remaking is very great, but the people at tvn came to talk about the remake immediately."

"Did you agree?"

"Not yet." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "'Xianjian' is still popular now, no rush. They are anxious to take action at this time, probably because they want to use the popularity of our drama now to make popularity for this remake project."

"Will you write a sequel for 'Xianjian'?" Luo Yuzhong asked.

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "No, this story has no sequel, however, I have ideas for writing a sequel for the theme of 'Xianjian', but it won't be this group of people as the lead."

What Lu Yanhe is talking about is "Chinese Paladin 3".

This is also a classic.

Luo Yuzhong nodded.

"Teacher, if I write it, would you be willing to continue to direct it?"

"Is it still this group of people acting?" Luo Yuzhong asked.

Lu Yanhe thought about it and said: "I haven't thought about it."

"Think about it before you say it." Luo Yuzhong said, "Since it's a completely different story, whether I continue to direct it is not that important. We have many directors in China who film Xianxia dramas, each with their own skills. I have tried it and know how Xianxia dramas are filmed, I've had enough."

Lu Yanhe heard the meaning of refusal from Luo Yuzhong's words.

He was not surprised.

Actually, if it weren't for his invitation, a director of Luo Yuzhong's level would not have directed "Xianjian".

Even if "Chinese Paladin" has such good results now—

But one thing to say, for Luo Dao Yuzhong, the result of a drama is not the only thing he considers for his directed works.

His works have never lacked results.

Just like what Luo Yuzhong said.

He has also filmed Xianxia dramas.

This is not a subject he likes to film himself, he has had enough after trying it.

Luo Yuzhong must still want to return to his most comfortable and favorite creative field.

However, "Chinese Paladin" is indeed a record-breaking popularity.

This popularity has exceeded the traditional field of drama series.

Its peripheral sales, business joint names, etc., have created economic benefits that other drama series have not achieved.

No other reason, the audience, or fans, of "Chinese Paladin" are willing to pay for this drama.

Many dramas are very popular, but they are not so willing to pay for the related products of this drama.

"Chinese Paladin" is different.

In early September, the character figures of "Chinese Paladin" went online, Li Xiaoyao's character figures sold 320,000 in one week, with sales reaching 25 million, and the sales of other characters' figures were also not low.

Before this, no Chinese drama figures had been able to sell such sales.

It can be said that as an ip, the derivative income of "Chinese Paladin" has significantly exceeded the income of the drama itself.

After experiencing the early brand joint names, because of the hot sales of figures, the industry finally saw the "money-sucking" ability of "Chinese Paladin" on a large scale.

On this day's gala, the vice president of Yuehu TV, Lu Yanhe, and Luo Yuzhong went on stage together to announce the anime adaptation plan of "Chinese Paladin".

This anime adaptation is not to film the content of the TV drama again in the form of animation, but to expand the world view of "Chinese Paladin".

And what people didn't expect most was that this animation would be broadcast on Yuehu TV's weekend time, every Saturday at noon.

"..."

This time is also carefully chosen by Yuehu TV.

In order to satisfy as many children as possible to watch TV.

In fact, this anime adaptation plan has not even started.

It is purely because the long-tail effect of "Chinese Paladin" is a bit large, and the derivative benefits are so large, that all parties hope to continue the popularity of this ip.

So, after some communication, there was this announcement tonight.

Announce first, work later.

Subsequently, Chen Siqi went on stage and announced together with the person in charge of Yuehu TV's Jump Up Theater that they would launch the "Chinese Paladin Fan Fiction Submission Plan" and would choose suitable stories from it to adapt into "Jump Up Theater" drama series.

Several linkage plans are all sending a signal to the outside world.

The story of "Chinese Paladin" will not end because of the end of this drama.

This night can be said to be a carnival night for "Chinese Paladin" fans.

Every song is performed live on this stage.

Every actor wrote a letter to the character they played and read it out.

Every creative staff came to the stage and, under the careful arrangement of different programs, had the opportunity to express their feelings about participating in the production of this drama.

When Lu Yanhe's fans suddenly found that he had disappeared for almost an hour after going on stage to read a letter written to Liu Jinyuan.

This made them suspect, did Lu Yanhe leave early?

Not just Lu Yanhe.

Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, Yan Lingyu, Jiang Lingyi, Song Fangtian and others also haven't appeared for a long time.

Just at this time, the lights of the whole venue suddenly dimmed.

On the big screen of the stage, images from the drama "Chinese Paladin" suddenly appeared.

First is the image of Lin Yueru sacrificing herself in the Lock Demon Tower.

Subsequently, the lens cut, and it reached the scene where Liu Jinyuan sacrificed himself.

Following closely, it was Tang Yu Xiaobao and Anu.

Finally, it was Zhao Linger lying on Li Xiaoyao's back, with blood on the corner of her mouth, smiling and shouting "Xiaoyao Brother".

Everyone was stunned.

What is this doing?

"Xiaoyao Brother—" another sound.

But this sound seems to be different from the sound track just now.

On the all-black stage, a beam of follow light suddenly appeared.

Where the follow light illuminated, it was Zhao Linger—Yan Lingyu appearing in the image of Zhao Linger.

After a brief pause in the whole venue, tsunami-like screams were issued.

"Idiot." Li Zhibai's voice sounded.

Another beam of follow light illuminated Li Zhibai, who also appeared in the image of Li Xiaoyao.

Before this, every actor appeared in ordinary modern clothes.

They also didn't know when they had dressed up in the characters' costumes in the drama.

"Ah ah ah ah ah—" screams rose and fell one after another.

This is a scene that no one expected.

Then, beside the two of them, the all-black stage began to light up inch by inch with a gradient effect.

It is a valley with green mountains and clear water.

The lens turned, and Liu Jinyuan played by Lu Yanhe appeared shaking a folding fan.

Then, it was Tang Yu Xiaobao and Anu holding hands.

Finally, Lin Yueru.

"I don't know if that stinky egg Li Xiaoyao missed me." Lin Yueru hummed, as arrogant as ever.

The screams at the scene rose one after another, like sea waves rising and falling.

No one expected that at the end of this gala, these characters that left all viewers with regrets would present a "rebirth" of each character to everyone in the form of a stage play.

This gala was held from 8:00 pm to 12:00 midnight.

A full four hours.

The last half hour was a brand new, separately rehearsed stage play.

Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Tang Yu Xiaobao, Anu, Liu Jinyuan... these characters appeared in front of everyone again after the drama finished airing.

They are still them.

The noisy ones are still noisy.

The honest and cute ones are still honest and cute.

They seem to have never experienced such a change in fate, and they are still the ones who just met at the beginning.

So young.

So... youthful spirit.

Finally, it was Song Fangtian shouting loudly in Anu's tone: "I will never forget this summer spent with you!"

Others looked at her with bright smiles.

She and Tang Yu Xiaobao waved to them together.

"We must continue to meet in the future!"

"Xiaoyao Sigh" sounded again at the scene, and on the big screen, behind-the-scenes photos taken during filming appeared.

At the very end, it was the footage of trial acting and auditioning.

The first one to walk into the lens was Lu Yanhe.

"Teacher, if I don't act well in the trial, won't you eliminate me?" This was a sentence Lu Yanhe joked to the lens when he was trying on makeup and acting.

Next, it was Li Zhibai and the others, one actor after another, either trying acting or auditioning, showing the scene where they first contacted this character.

Until a car driving at night.

It was Li Zhibai's car.

The subtitle shows that it was the night before the start of "Chinese Paladin".

Li Zhibai looked a bit preoccupied, looking out the window.

"Zhibai, what's wrong with you?" This was a voice-over, Lu Yanhe could tell, this was Lin Suyang.

This was also the first time Lu Yanhe saw this video.

He was stunned.

"Ah?" Li Zhibai came back to his senses, unbelievable, under the stage, "Damn?! Who sent this video to them?!"

Everyone stood under the stage, watching the big screen with all the audience.

On the big screen, the voice-over said: "You look a bit... nervous."

"Of course nervous." On the big screen, Li Zhibai sighed, "The script written by Old Lu specifically for us, and he gave me the male lead, what if I act badly?"

The voice-over said: "How could it be."

Li Zhibai: "Sigh, you don't understand."

"I thought you were very confident."

"It was also pretended at the beginning, pretending and then confident." Li Zhibai still looked outside the car window, not discovering that he was being filmed.

"Pretended?"

"Yes." Li Zhibai said, "When we debuted together, Yan He and Yan Liang were both silent, if I didn't pretend, who would pay attention to us? We couldn't even grab the dressing room."

"There is such a thing?"

"Hmm." Li Zhibai's eyes rippled like a lake under the cover of night, the past made him laugh, "Forget it, it's okay, if I act badly, just replace me, anyway, they can also act."

The lens turned, on the big screen, the live lens at this moment actually appeared.

The lens aimed at these young people under the stage whose eyes were red.

"Damn!" Li Zhibai found that his red-eyed appearance appeared on the screen, immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes, and turned away.

They didn't know about this last part in advance.

Yan Liang and Lu Yanhe both looked at Li Zhibai and laughed.

Yan Lingyu handed a piece of paper to Li Zhibai.

Song Fangtian and Jiang Lingyi held hands, crying until their eye makeup was ruined, letting the lens stop filming them.

On the big screen, the picture changed again.

It was Tang Yu Xiaobao saying: "One line pulls, it is heart to heart."

This was a scene of him in the drama.

Yan Liang looked at the big screen in surprise.

The next scene was Anu saying: "When happy, tears are sweet, when sad, tears are bitter."

Then Zhao Linger: "Love comes from the heart."

Liu Jinyuan smiled and said: "Meeting the right person at the right time is a lifetime of happiness!"

Lin Yueru smiled the brightest: "That's good, it's a deal, let's eat and play together until we are old!"

Li Xiaoyao said: "To the ends of the earth, never change."

At the very end, everyone stood there together and shouted loudly: "I, Li Xiaoyao, want to be the number one hero in the world, I want to help the weak, I want to be famous! I, Lin Yueru, want to make Lin Family Fort the number one gang, I am the female gang leader, and then fight for the first place with this stinky egg! I, Zhao Linger, want all the people of Nanzhao Kingdom to be happy and happy forever! I, Liu Jinyuan, want to shed my head and blood to help the current emperor support the Tang Dynasty! I, Tang Yu, am not afraid of any difficulties, I want to be as loyal as my godfather, protect the country! I, Anu, want to be happy every day, happy for a lifetime, happy every day! Let's say goodbye today, let's meet again in ten years, see you or not!"

The big screen finally froze on the four big characters "See you or not".

Thus, the gala of "Chinese Paladin" came to an end.

"Who made this last part?" Song Fangtian wiped her tears, "I must have cried particularly ugly tonight."

"It's okay, I'm uglier than you." Jiang Lingyi said.

This summer is not a summer for one person, nor is it just a summer for Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger.

This summer, the two of them, newcomers, became popular with this drama and were known by everyone.

A big hit drama is a drama that can let all characters sit at the table.

Without exception.

These actors at the table, some can seize the opportunity to soar into the sky, while some can only eat dividends for a few years with this role, and then return to the position at the beginning.

Of course, that is a matter of a few years later.

Now, at this moment, at the end of this summer, everyone is infected by the emotions of "this moment," and deep in everyone's heart, it is "see you or not."

Lu Yanhe looked at these familiar faces and suddenly thought of what Wen Shengming said when "Dingfeng No. 1" finished filming.

"I will always watch you."

He really had such an impulse just now, and also said such words to these people.

Watching is not only a kind of attention, but also a promise.

Until this moment, he really realized the mood of Wen Shengming when he said this.

Of course, of course.

No one's mood will be exactly the same. The roles are different, the positions are different, and the moods are different.

However, despite this, Lu Yanhe at this moment is indeed a feeling of complete, same state of mind as Wen Shengming at that time.

"Sister Ziyan, which agency are Song Fangtian and Jiang Lingyi from?" Before leaving for the United States to film, Lu Yanhe asked Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan: "Song Fangtian is in Huajie, Jiang Lingyi is in Wuhang, what's wrong? Want to dig them over?"

"No, just... just thinking, places that can be cared for in the future, just care for them, try not to let them... this is a bit old-fashioned, but I do have such an idea, don't let them go astray."

Chen Ziyan said: "You... places that should be cared for, we will definitely care for them, but not to mention they have their own companies, they are also adults themselves, if they can't be responsible for their own lives, no matter how much we care, it's useless."

"I know, I don't mean that." Lu Yanhe laughed, "Just Yan Lingyu's previous things made me quite emotional, I always feel that after an actor is popular, how can there be more confidence and cards, but it seems not like this, meeting the wrong person, meeting a trashier agent, or being treated as a commodity by the company... how to say, anyone in a bad environment will be negatively affected. If I knew about the things between Yan Lingyu and her company earlier, maybe I intervened earlier, she wouldn't have reached that point with the company."

"This may not be a good thing. If she hadn't experienced such things, with her speed of becoming popular, it would definitely be ten thousand times more floating than now." Chen Ziyan said, "However, I also understand what you mean. In fact, if you and Luo Dao hadn't intervened, Yan Lingyu might have been ruined. I will pay attention to them."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Ziyan said: "Actually, yesterday Wen Ken from Yan Lingyu's company contacted me."

"Hmm?"

"Although he didn't say it clearly, he should be testing whether Shihuo is interested in signing Yan Lingyu." Chen Ziyan said.

Lu Yanhe: "Haha, so fast worried about us grabbing people?"

"A bit, after all, Yan Lingyu is the most popular first-tier flower now. Two dramas, one summer, the pattern of popular actresses is directly reshuffled." Chen Ziyan said, "Such an actress, the direct economic benefit brought to the company in one year is nine figures, you say how can they not worry."

"What they should worry about is not us, but the things they did to Yan Lingyu at the beginning." Lu Yanhe said, "Does Yan Lingyu want to renew her contract with Fengxiangbiao?"

"They are testing my and your attitude towards Yan Lingyu. Of course, they actually don't need to test at all. At the beginning, you and Luo Dao personally opened your mouths to mediate for Yan Lingyu, and after filming 'Xianjian', arranged another 'Those Years', what is there to test." Chen Ziyan said, "You have to know, if there is no support from us, whether Yan Lingyu renews her contract with Fengxiangbiao is not just a question of Yan Lingyu's intention."

Lu Yanhe: "Does Fengxiangbiao intend to use dirty tricks?"

"Not intending, it is certain." Chen Ziyan said, "As long as Yan Lingyu can be kept in the company, they can do anything."

"If Yan Lingyu is already popular to this extent, and still can't be tough with them, protect herself, then it's too underestimating the power of a popular star in this era."

"The problem is, a popular star has great power, but also has this star who knows how to use this power." Chen Ziyan said, "At the beginning, Yan Lingyu was directly shattered rather than intact with the company, and didn't think about taking the initiative to find you for help. Fengxiangbiao saw it very clearly. Yan Lingyu is not the kind of person with strong initiative and a very clear brain. Grabbing the shortcomings of her personality, Fengxiangbiao has plenty of tricks to deal with her. Even, find someone to play the red face, and then find someone to play the white face, singing a play for her in the company, making her think she has the upper hand, and in order to repay the favor, stay by the side of the person playing the white face."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

The words Chen Ziyan said really exceeded his expectations.

Chen Ziyan: "Of course, if Yan Lingyu has a really good agent by her side, such as me, such as Lin Suyang, with a sense of right and wrong, and means and ability, then Yan Lingyu naturally has the qualification to play cards with the company, but now, her entire team is held by Fengxiangbiao."

Lu Yanhe understood, nodded.

"Yan Lingyu doesn't trust others, and refuses to take on projects indiscriminately, only taking on projects of familiar people, this is also a good thing." Chen Ziyan said, "Or rather, this is her instinct to avoid harm, allowing her to maintain a bit of independence from Fengxiangbiao."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"What about your own thoughts?"

"I actually don't have any thoughts, but Yan Lingyu's previous meaning is actually already very clear." Lu Yanhe said, "She will not renew her contract with Fengxiangbiao."

Chen Ziyan nodded, "The things between her and Fengxiangbiao, before her contract expires, we cannot participate on the surface. However, I will have a good chat with her, from my perspective, tell her how to use these three years to accumulate some advantages to negotiate with Fengxiangbiao three years later."

Lu Yanhe: "She took on a new drama of Teacher's company, I also told her, these three years, it is best not to only film my dramas, she also understands the reason, just hope she can learn from her mistakes and be smarter."

"Without a reliable agent by her side, she really can only learn to be smarter herself." Chen Ziyan sighed, "See if there are any old classmates or friends by her side who can be her agent. At her stage and situation, the agent's ability is secondary, the key is to be able to trust, to be able to stand by her side at key nodes."

Arrived at the airport.

Lu Yanhe took his things, ready to get off the car.

Chen Ziyan got off the car to send him off.

Although fans have been called many times not to pick up or send off, there are still a large number of fans at the scene.

As soon as he appeared, the scene became difficult to control.

Zou Dong took the bodyguards to block the fans for Lu Yanhe, allowing Lu Yanhe to enter the airport normally.

Lu Yanhe has been accustomed to saying goodbye to familiar people in such an environment.

"I'm leaving." Lu Yanhe hugged Chen Ziyan.

"Hmm, come to visit the set later." Chen Ziyan smiled and watched Lu Yanhe enter the airport under the support of fans.

After participating in the gala of "Chinese Paladin", Li Zhibai returned to the drama "Grass on Flying", continuing to film.

Many people who are familiar with him actually don't quite understand why they still want to film such a drama.

Everyone is saying that this summer, Yan Lingyu bloomed like a brilliant firework without warning, surprising everyone.

In fact, whether it is "Those Years" or "Xianjian", Li Zhibai is the proper number one actor, the biggest dividend is actually eaten by him.

Not to mention, before this, Li Zhibai had already brought out a "Buried" in April, which attracted a lot of attention globally.

This made Li Zhibai, who was already the top popular with actual results, more solid and deeply rooted in the film and television circle.

Li Zhibai's acting path can be said to be smooth.

At the beginning, Zhou Ping'an took roles that fit his background for him. While having talent, he could also lean towards "playing himself." Later, Liu Bige personally appointed him to star in his second director work, directly taking him across the barrier from idol actors, TV drama actors to movie actors, not even Lu Yanhe's help.

After the word-of-mouth of the drama "Nineteen Years" was a bit bad, Li Zhibai took three dramas in one breath, interpreting what is called the return of the strong.

In this situation, everyone thinks that he really doesn't need to act in the martial arts drama "Grass on Flying".

And it is a second collaboration with that director of "Nineteen Years".

Many people feel that Li Zhibai is a bit unable to think through.

Li Zhibai also couldn't explain to people why he wanted to do this.

Actually, even Lin Suyang said before he entered the crew that there was no need to act in this drama.

If Li Zhibai was just worried that he promised to act in this drama, so he had to go, he could negotiate and help this drama find another male actor.

However, Li Zhibai shook his head.

"Brother Suyang, do you know why I must act in this drama? After the failure of 'Nineteen Years'." Li Zhibai asked.

Lin Suyang hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking: "Is it because you refuse to admit defeat? Where you fell, you want to climb up from there?"

"Can also say so." Li Zhibai nodded, "But more importantly, 'Nineteen Years' was my first time doing producer work, the first time dealing with a project as more than an actor, although this project cannot be counted as a success, it gave me a great harvest. After finishing this project at that time, I said I didn't want to be a producer anymore, but after a period of time, I started missing that feeling again. Having a project like 'Grass on Flying' allows me to continue collaborating with Liu Manbo, this is a very rare opportunity to summarize the experience of past failures with reference and further learn."

Lin Suyang showed a very surprised look.

He didn't expect Li Zhibai to say this at all.

Li Zhibai: "And, since I have the resources to integrate a project, I want to improve my ability too. Although I don't have Yan He's screenwriting talent, I can bring opportunities to people who have talent but are suffering from no opportunity. This is what I really want to do now."

Lin Suyang nodded solemnly.

"Zhibai, being able to have such an idea really surprises me." Lin Suyang said, "If you want to do this, then I will support you with all my strength. Actually, the path you chose is one that looks thankless in the short term, and will even attract a lot of questioning and scolding, but from a long-term perspective, it must be good for you. This path is very arduous, but the growth it brings to you must also be solid."

Li Zhibai laughed.

He said: "Of course, actually there is another reason."

"Hmm?" Lin Suyang was stunned.

Li Zhibai said: "I won't renew my contract with Woodpecker after it expires this time, this you know, but I still have one thing to tell you."

"Hmm?" Lin Suyang's face changed, "You contacted other agencies? You want to sign with other companies? Who came to poach?"

"No." Li Zhibai shook his head, "Didn't I tell you I want to do a studio myself later? And invited you to go with me."

Lin Suyang nodded, "Yes, but listening to it now, the situation seems to have changed?"

"My family knows I want to do a studio, and is preparing to open an agency for me." Li Zhibai said, "Hmm, I mean, Brother Suyang, before we were most worried that the studio was too small, and the people you could take away were few, so there must be trade-offs, but now, if you are still willing to continue doing this company with me, you can take all

Lin Suyang revealed an expression of disbelief.

Lin Suyang had always known that Li Zhibai was a "second-generation rich."

It was just that when Lin Suyang took over as Li Zhibai's manager, Li Zhibai was already very famous. Therefore, Li Zhibai's career as an artist basically no longer required any extra support from his family. Lin Suyang only knew his parents and his older brother, but he wasn't exactly familiar with them. In fact, in Lin Suyang's view, Li Zhibai was a second-generation rich who didn't really rely on his family—

Because during that phase, Lin Suyang was truly not around.

But now, Lin Suyang felt the reality of Li Zhibai's status as a second-generation rich.

Well, opening an agency directly for his own son, and it wasn't even a small company; he could even let Lin Suyang bring his entire team over.

Deep down, Lin Suyang felt more or less... speechless.

"How about it, Brother Suyang?" Li Zhibai asked, "Are you coming with me?"

Lin Suyang: "Wait a second, the news you just gave me is a bit explosive, I need to digest it."

Li Zhibai: "Then you need to tell me quickly."

"Hmm." Lin Suyang suddenly realized, "No, I'm definitely going, only a fool wouldn't go, but, for this agency, will your family be sending people to manage it?"

"They will manage some financial matters," Li Zhibai said. "As long as you come, the CEO position is yours; the people my family sends will just be your deputies."

Lin Suyang didn't dare to hope that he could parachute into a company, hold a large sum of money, and squander it as he pleased without being supervised.

No company could possibly do that.

It could be said that Li Zhibai had already given him a very good condition that he couldn't refuse.

Lin Suyang: "Fine, I understand."

Lin Suyang asked: "So, are you planning for this company to slowly transform into a production company like Linghe in the future, right?"
