Chapter 801
"Not just the three of them?"
"In this program, he also wants to invite some filmmakers to participate in the program's performance."
"Suddenly adding people at this time? Isn't this child's play?"
"Lu Yan He said, please look at the plan first. If we feel it doesn't work, it's not suitable, then forget it. He didn't say it must be like this, just please look at it first."
"What plan?"
"Look—"
"These people, how can they be invited temporarily now?"
"Lu Yan He said, as long as we agree to this plan, he will invite the people."
"Can he invite them?"
"He said, these people's schedules are OK."
The implication is that he can.
"This—"
"Do you still need to go through political review?"
"These people go through political review, the procedures shouldn't be that complicated, right? All of them have appeared on CCTV I don't know how many times."
"According to his plan, this program will definitely become a classic stage."
"This year, the top specifically said that film should be used as an important theme to show at the Spring Festival Gala. Even in the host's manuscript, the Hexi Film Festival held in China will be mentioned, emphasizing international exchange in the name of film."
"If these people can all come to participate—"
"Director, don't be anxious, the plan Lu Yan He brought is not finished yet."
"What?"
"This is at the end of the program, Lu Yan He hopes to put a 5-second VCR on the screen."
"What kind of place does he think this is? Still put VCR?"
"Why don't you look at it?"
Then, there was another "..."
"This—"
"Do these people also need to be reviewed?"
"Yes, but these people were found by Lu Yan He. He knows very well that there should be no problems."
"This—"
"Why don't you report it up and see?"
"If this program is really presented like this in the end, it will explode."
"Does the Spring Festival Gala need the program to explode?"
"The Spring Festival Gala needs classics."
"If there is such a presentation at this year's Spring Festival Gala, the theme of film is definitely in place."
"What did the Spring Festival Gala director group say?" Lu Yan He asked.
Wang Biao said: "Initially, they all agreed to the plan, but they still need to report to other departments."
Lu Yan He said: "Okay, I'll talk to Teacher Wen and the others first."
Wang Biao: "... Little Brother Lu, do you really want to do this program? Not counting the VCR at the end, the stars appearing are more than ten, and they are all big names. I feel that the big names of other programs of the Spring Festival Gala added together are not as many as your program."
Lu Yan He: "Since it is a film theme, it is always a bit lacking to not invite these representative figures of Chinese film. Although the three of us are also very representative, we are all very young. Film itself should have representatives of old, middle-aged, and young."
Wang Biao: "You are not representative, you are bringing the top figures here."
"The top figures are representatives." Lu Yan He laughed.
"Let me go to their program as a performance guest?" When Ning Xiulian received the news, she was stunned, and then immediately said, "Isn't this just letting me be a dancer for them? I'm not going."
The agent said: "In this program, from Wen Shengming to Shang Yongzhou, from Chen Bige to Yu Mengling, those who have won Best Actor and Best Actress at top international film festivals in the last ten years will all go. Are you sure you won't go? This is very likely to become a representative program. Those who show their faces in this program are the Chinese filmmakers who are representative internationally."
Ning Xiulian looked at the agent in disbelief.
"Will they all go? Go to be a guest for a program of Lu Yan He?"
The agent said: "This year's Spring Festival Gala is specifically to use film as a theme, to do a program, to be specifically mentioned by the host at the Spring Festival Gala, because Chinese film has shined internationally this year, and because of the Hexi Film Festival, there have been very many positive evaluations about China internationally."
Since Ning Xiulian won the Best Actress at the Venice International Film Festival, she has participated in many mainstream and mainstream activities of the country, and she knows very well what task film undertakes in the national strategy.
As soon as the agent said this, she immediately understood what Lu Yan He's program meant.
"You didn't say earlier, how could I not participate in such a program."
The agent smiled.
"Not everyone participates."
"Hmm?"
"It is said that the plan for this program was made by Lu Yan He. Among the invited performance guests, there is no Chen Pinhe."
Ning Xiulian widened her eyes in surprise.
"Ah?"
Ning Xiulian took a deep breath, "Is Lu Yan He's temper so big? Such a small thing, holding a grudge until now."
"Yes, we all say so, didn't expect Lu Yan He's temper to be so big." The agent said, "In the future, when we call Lu Yan He, we really have to be careful, don't offend him, it will be difficult to repair later."
Ning Xiulian: "I don't have any conflict with Lu Yan He, what can be offended."
"Anyway, be careful."
"Besides Best Actor and Best Actress, Teacher Jiang Jun, Sister Yuqian, Huang Feng, these people also have to be put in." Lu Yan He said to the program director, "Let's see, in the middle of our song, design how many situational performance segments."
The program director nodded.
Fortunately, although Lu Yan He's program said it only participated in the last joint rehearsal, they didn't put forward these new ideas until the last joint rehearsal.
They still have relatively sufficient time to do choreography and practice.
"The public relations activities in the North American awards season, are you not participating? This year 'Get Out' has a high probability of winning the Best Original Screenplay award."
When Lu Yan He stayed in the country to prepare for this Spring Festival Gala program, Darren Wilson called Lu Yan He.
Lu Yan He said: "Best Original Screenplay award, do I still need to do public relations? No need, right? Except for the performance department and those big awards that need the whole crew to participate in public relations activities, mine is almost enough. Anyway, aren't Mukan and the others participating in public relations activities?"
Darren Wilson: "You don't know how many people want to see you."
"It is precisely because of this that I want to hide." Lu Yan He said with a smile, "The most important thing is that the focus of this film's public relations should be black people. I, an Asian, said so much at the Golden Globes, which is enough. Always popping out to socialize with people, it is too easy to appear utilitarian."
"Oh, so you didn't come to participate in the follow-up public relations activities, is it to consolidate your artist image?" Darren teased.
Lu Yan He laughed and said: "Mainly because I am lazy. 'Tropical Rain' really scared me. The front line of the awards season is really too long, consuming spirit and energy."
Darren Wilson said: "Generally speaking, everyone will not participate in the awards season like this every year, at most once every three or five years, unlike you, coming every year."
Lu Yan He said: "So, appear a little less, if you appear too much, everyone will get tired of watching."
Darren Wilson said with a smile: "Just find an excuse for your own laziness."
In fact, Lu Yan He did not stay in the United States to participate in some public relations activities, it was really to make his speech at the Golden Globes more effective.
His speech at the Golden Globes raised the significance of "Get Out" very high.
In this case, if he shows that he wants to win the award too much, it will weaken the gold content of that speech.
The award he is competing for this year is not an acting award as an actor, but a screenplay award. For such an award, the competition is not that fierce at all. Basically, the final winner will be contested in the awards season, and there are very few cases of big upsets.
And "Get Out" won the Best Original Screenplay award at that Oscar in the original time and space. Whether it is the script itself or the attention and discussion caused by the film in this time and space, this film has a very great possibility in this award.
So, after some thought, Lu Yan He decided not to appear in public relations activities so frequently.
"'Love Letter to Filmmakers', this song seems a bit not quite matching the style of the Spring Festival Gala program."
This day, after Lu Yan He, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang sang together, Luo Yuzhong, who came to listen, said bluntly.
Lu Yan He: "Yes, but since they made a proposition this year, I think using this song to express it will be purer."
"Pure?"
"Before our program, the host will have a string of words to talk about the development of Chinese film and the achievements made this year." Lu Yan He said, "In this string of words, it is actually relatively mainstream, talking about achievements, talking about influence, talking about the honor of film workers. Then entering the performance of the program, I think, it is better to press the theme down, just let us three young people sing the meaning of tribute, but it is not that kind of eulogizing tribute, but the inheritance and looking back of light and shadow for decades."
Luo Yuzhong listened and nodded, "If you say so, it's okay."
"Moreover, we have done a lot of design in the form of the program. The style and lyrics of our songs are relatively 'small', but our program invited the most representative actors of the four generations of old, middle-aged, young, and young to perform. The whole presentation is very grand. Through the representative roles and fragments of each actor, a stage performance was designed, talking about the persistence, effort, and inheritance of generations."
Lu Yan He took out the plan and explained it to Luo Yuzhong.
Luo Yuzhong showed shock, "Your design... no wonder, I understand, no wonder your song can be written so affectionately."
"Yes." Lu Yan He nodded, "Actually, not every program of the Spring Festival Gala is lively and mainstream. Every year there are some relatively serious and artistic programs, but there are not many, so they are not left with an impression."
Luo Yuzhong: "Then your program, how should it connect with your VCR in the end? It feels a bit abrupt."
Lu Yan He said: "Between our program and that VCR, the director group will have a one-and-a-half-minute small film about Chinese film going overseas these years, do a transition, then, there will be a design, then, transition to the 5-second VCR on the full stage at the end."
Luo Yuzhong: "It seems that the Spring Festival Gala director group has opened a green channel for your program, giving you so much extra time."
Lu Yan He: "No, that one-and-a-half-minute small film was originally made, but they were originally prepared to be put before our performance. We communicated and decided to move it after our performance, so that it can be connected more smoothly."
"You make me start to look forward to your program."
Li Zhibai said: "We are all looking forward to it ourselves, and I don't know how his brain grew, how he has so many ideas."
Yan Liang said: "I am now afraid that I will cry on stage in the end."
"It's New Year's Eve, you can't cry."
"What if the eye sockets are red? This is a physiological reaction."
"Hold it."
After Lu Yan He's three-person singing part was settled, they had to start connecting the acting part.
Originally, the Spring Festival Gala's separate rehearsal for them was to accommodate their time. As a result, now separate rehearsal is for confidentiality.
When Lu Yan He and his party appeared in the backstage of CCTV, those big names, really standing in front of everyone one by one, even the Spring Festival Gala director group still felt unrealistic.
Even if it is any film festival activity, they have never gathered so many Best Actors and Best Actresses together.
And Lu Yan He only used three days to call everyone on the plan over.
Don't even need the Spring Festival Gala director group to come forward.
The Spring Festival Gala director group thought, even if they came forward, they might not be able to call so neatly, no, it should be, they couldn't call so neatly either.
Separate rehearsal, a total of two times.
When the last joint rehearsal, the news really couldn't be hidden, the news that Lu Yan He and the three were going to perform on the Spring Festival Gala was exposed.
Subsequently, the Spring Festival Gala director group released the official program list.
The program "Love Letter to Filmmakers" officially debuted.
More than twenty actors' names, led by Lu Yan He, lined up, exploding everyone to send "?", asking: Is it true or false?
More than twenty actors' names, among which a small half are big names from various countries.
All came?!
"He is always doing big moves, big actions."
"He won't really invite so many people over, right?"
"Crazy? How is it possible to invite them over?"
"In the last ten years, all the Best Actors and Best Actresses who won the international four major film festivals have come, except Chen Pinhe."
"Chen Pinhe winning the award was ten years ago, it's normal not to invite him."
"Also."
"Is this year's Spring Festival Gala so worth watching?"
"I can finally see Lu Yan He, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang collaborating on stage again."
"So many actors, it looks like a tribute stage, it must be very boring, you lower your expectations."
"The planning of this program is Lu Yan He, and the lyrics and music are also Lu Yan He. He will definitely not give something that doesn't work."
"You are really Lu Yan He's brainless blow."
"Because every thing he did in the past makes me believe him, he will definitely not let me down."
"This lineup is too exaggerated. The lineup of all other programs added together is not as strong as this program."
"Counted, this program alone has 15 Best Actors and Best Actresses with top awards."
"How does this make the evening party that wants to do film theme performances in the future?"
On the night of New Year's Eve, Lu Yan He and the three of them, including Jiang Yuqian, Chen Siqi, and others, all had dinner together at Ziyuan Bridge before rushing to CCTV.
Many people think that in the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala, every actor is preparing in the backstage early.
In fact, because the backstage of CCTV is not that big and can't hold so many people, many actors, if the program is not in front, eat at home by themselves, and then rush over slowly according to the time.
Huang Feng is also with them.
Their program is arranged in a very golden time period, 9:30, which is one and a half hours after the Spring Festival Gala started, but it is not close to zero, generally the time when the number of viewers is the largest.
After dinner, He Lan sat in front of the TV with her parents, ready to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
"Is Chinese film so outstanding this year?" After the host opened, He Lan's father asked, "It was specifically mentioned in the opening speech."
He Lan nodded and said: "Yes, Chinese film has achieved very beautiful results overseas this year. The most important thing is that the Hexi Film Festival was held very successfully in China. You don't pay attention to the foreign network, you don't know. At that time in May, many people on the foreign network were praising the Hexi Film Festival for being held very well, and many foreigners were praising Yuming for this city because they came to participate in the Hexi Film Festival."
"So awesome? The influence has exceeded the Olympics."
"That's not it." He Lan explained quickly, "That still can't compare with the Olympics, just, film has always been the first choice for various countries to do cultural dissemination. It is also currently the cultural carrier that can cross borders and achieve influence globally. This year, Chinese film is very outstanding in both awards and box office results. It is normal for the Spring Festival Gala to specifically mention film."
In the parallel time and space, the opening of the Spring Festival Gala is completed by several films in the Spring Festival file.
Its market value is actually not big, it is tens of billions a year, compared with many industries, it is a little finger, but its cultural significance is too great, so great that even China, a big country, also attaches importance to it.
Just like Hollywood is to the United States, helping "American heroism" wash the brains of how many people in the world.
"Then Lu Yan He is quite awesome, can find so many people to do this program, I have to see what the situation of this program is." He Lan's mother also said.
9:30 PM.
The host officially reported the program "Love Letter to Filmmakers".
At the same time.
Wu Meng, vice president of the China Film Association, sent a message to other directors of the Film Association: This year's Spring Festival Gala wants to do the theme of Chinese film, but bypassed our Film Association and directly asked Lu Yan He to do it. Where should we put the face of our Film Association?
The other party: The program started, watch the program first.
Wu Meng continued to say: Lu Yan He is also ignorant. Doing this program, he didn't come to ask the meaning of our association. It's a pity that we gave him an honorary medal before.
This time, the other party didn't reply directly.
Wu Meng frowned.
At this time, on the TV screen, the program has started.
A graceful piano piece sounded.
Lu Yan He, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang appeared.
The camera zoomed out, Wen Shengming sat at the desk, holding an old script in his hand, the film name written on the cover is "Life and Death River", a film starring Wen Shengming in his early years.
Lu Yan He raised the microphone and started singing the first sentence.
"How many people love the style you left on the screen."
On the big screen at the scene, a handsome and dashing scene of Wen Shengming in "Life and Death River" appeared.
The camera switched, Yu Mengling stood gracefully on a small bamboo bridge, bent down slightly, and waved the handkerchief in her hand at Huang Feng playing with puppets on the grass under the bridge.
"How many people love your posture of being independent from the world."
On the big screen, a scene of Yu Mengling holding an umbrella in the rain in a biography film of an ancient female poet appeared.
"Your eternal expectation of a childlike heart."
The light and shadow of the big screen changed. In "Tropical Rain", Huang Feng climbed onto Lu Yan He's bed carefully, expressing apology.
"The helplessness of self-appreciation."
In "Rouge", Chen Bige's look back like resentment and complaint.
"Who understands the sorrow you carefully hide."
Chen Bige hugged Huang Feng from behind and smiled at Yu Mengling on the bridge.
"Who understands the nostalgia on your faded face."
Yu Mengling looked back, Ning Xiulian sat in front of a dressing table, gently combing her long hair.
"Your seamless dashing fear in your heart."
On the big screen, Zhou Yuning in "Nine Yin" galloped on horseback facing the morning sun before rushing to the final decisive battle, with a firm expression.
"Slowly seeped out pale."
Shang Yongzhou and Zhou Yuning, with the styling in "Dragon Gate Inn" and "Nine Yin", fell from the sky with the help of wires, holding long swords, still knights.
"You are desperately pursuing eternity."
The long swords of Shang Yongzhou and Zhou Yuning hit each other.
The camera rotated 360 degrees around them, zoomed out, the camera came to Yu Mengling on the bridge, she seemed to be the sweetheart of one of them, with a worried look, looking at them, her expression clear and proud.
"Life is bumpy and regretful."
Ning Xiulian held the comb in her hand tightly, closed her eyes, and a feeling of longing appeared on her face, as if a woman who firmly believed that her husband would definitely return.
"You are foolishly pursuing perfection."
On the big screen, it is the shooting tidbits of Jiang Jun in "Doomsday", he went into battle himself, wearing protective devices, and jumped down from a hundred-meter-high building without hesitation.
"But always given misunderstanding, given harm, given abandonment, given blame."
On the big screen, it is Liu Zi jumping out of the bath barrel in "Dragon Gate Inn", wrapped in cloth, and flying onto the roof with light work.
Jump down, jump up.
The camera switched, at the scene, Jiang Jun and Liu Zi jumped down from a five-meter-high lifting platform with the help of wires.
"Why sorrow, why sorrow, why bother to worry and suffer."
"Why laugh, scold, hate, and love."
On the screen, it is Shen Jiayi walking past in the sun in "Those Years We Chased Together", it is Fujii Itsuki holding a library card and smiling in the sun in "Love Letter", it is the smile when Twelve Young Master first met Ruhua on the stairs in "Rouge".
