Chapter 823

*The Boat* is a small crew of only fifty people.

Lu Yan He hasn't filmed such a small-scale play for a long time.

In this movie, most of the scenes don't need group performances or anything, just a few actors.

Before, the art group had specially built the courtyard and house needed for filming in a sparsely populated mountain field in a small town in Jiangnan.

After Luo Yuzhong confirmed the direction, he specially took his team to the scene to survey the scene in advance and made many adjustments.

By the time Lu Yan He joined the crew, basically everything was ready.

Lu Yan He looked at the shooting plan and the venue, and almost didn't make any comments.

Everything was very mature.

Although they didn't read the script before filming, they had met many times online and offline, and their understanding of the script and characters had communicated many rounds.

Really speaking, this was the first time Lu Yan He acted with Yu Mengling.

This actress, who is very famous in the industry, has a temperament that no one can copy. She is a Best Actress, but she doesn't have the style of a Best Actress. Every time they meet, the temperament of her scholarly family left a deep impression on Lu Yan He. This temperament is very precious to an actor. When it comes to certain roles, the actors everyone thinks of and the most suitable ones are often the first to think of her.

Performance, no matter what others say, it is ultimately an artistic thing. As the main body of performance, "one person, a thousand faces" is a compliment, but this often makes the "tool nature" of actors higher than "artistry." The irreplaceable uniqueness determines the height of actors—

For example, Liang Chaowei Ka-fai who acts as whoever he is, and Liang Chaowei Chiu-wai who is Liang Chaowei Chiu-wai no matter what he acts.

Therefore, Lu Yan He actually very much wanted to act with Yu Mengling.

If Chen Bige as an actor is a kind of calmness and stability like Gong Li, then Yu Mengling as an actor is like Tang Wei and Zhou Xun, a type whose own characteristics are far greater than the acting itself.

Many people compare them, but true appreciators accept and like both.

Their group lived in a county town about an hour's drive from the filming site.

Such big names all live in the county town, which will be a bit unsafe, so the crew not only wrapped up a hotel, but also specially hired a security team to avoid being "knocked on the head."

Lu Yan He himself is even more so.

Because of unspeakable reasons, Chen Ziyan has always measured Lu Yan He's safety problems with the worst plan.

And filming in such a remote, rural environment away from the city.

Chen Ziyan insisted on arranging a two-shift security team for Lu Yan He, specially responsible for his personal situation.

Luo Yuzhong was a little confused when he saw this battle, and whispered to Lu Yan He, is this too exaggerated.

Lu Yan He could only take out the excuse that Chen Ziyan had prepared from the beginning, saying: "We received a threatening letter not long ago, there is no way, prevention is better than cure."

The three words "threatening letter" were moved out, not only Luo Yuzhong understood, but other people in the crew also understood, and they all started to help Lu Yan He pay attention to the surrounding environment.

Not because of anything else, it is not a rare behavior for star artists to encounter a few fans with bad nature.

Lu Yan He was also attacked by people at the airport before—although it was abroad.

Lu Yan He didn't expect everyone to accept this explanation so quickly.

However, the *The Boat* crew was indeed very reliable. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and all departments are complete, not missing people, and even specially someone records various opinions put forward by the main creators, and then concentrates time to discuss together—

This is a very simple thing to say, but most crews cannot do it because of chaotic management order.

This county town called Wangxian is a county town with a long history.

It can even be traced back to the Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, although the history is long, it is now economically backward due to its geographical location. A large number of young people leave and do not return, and the whole county town looks a bit depressed.

When idle, Lu Yan He invited Yu Mengling to stroll around the county town.

"Teacher Wen is in the United States. He has several activities that were originally scheduled, so he must participate. He will rush over after finishing." Lu Yan He explained, "So, our movie cannot be filmed in order, which is a pity."

Yu Mengling shook her head and said: "It is not easy for Teacher Wen to agree to film. I know that you are working hard for *Storm Calmer No. 1* to sprint for the awards season in North America. At this time, you still come to support filming this movie together."

"After all, it is such a good script. If you don't film it, you will regret it later." Lu Yan He said with a smile, "It's impossible not to come to film. And, I said, you don't know, such a story has a very different meaning to me."

Yu Mengling nodded.

The two of them walked on the street. Some people in the county town saw them from afar. Because they had bodyguards around them, they didn't get close, just took pictures with their mobile phones from afar. Some excited ones would shout a few times.

Lu Yan He and the others didn't mind.

In fact, Lu Yan He called Yu Mengling out for this reason.

"You show your face a few times, their freshness passes, and they won't take us seriously." Lu Yan He said, "The more you hide it, the more everyone wants to climb over the wall to see you."

In such a county town with a small population, Lu Yan He has had rich filming experience.

Especially Jiangzhi.

Thinking of Jiangzhi, Lu Yan He thought of the couple He Yunlan and Liu Yiyi.

He took a photo of Wangxian and sent it to He Yunlan: Brother Yunlan, I came to a Jiangnan small town called Wangxian to film, and suddenly thought of Jiangzhi. I haven't been here for a long time, and I miss you very much.

Five minutes later, He Yunlan returned a photo of a teenager.

Lu Yan He didn't recognize it at once, and then identified it carefully, and then identified the shadow of Xiaohu from him.

Lu Yan He replied pleasantly: Is Xiaohu already so big?

He Yunlan: Yes, just now he said he wanted us to take a picture of him for you, saying that you must have forgotten him and couldn't recognize him. I didn't expect you to recognize him. He lost 100 yuan to his mother, and now he is heartbroken.

Lu Yan He laughed.

He: Deserved, looking down on me, and gambling at a young age, let him be heartbroken.

He Yunlan sent several smiling faces.

He asked again: After filming, if you have time, come to Jiangzhi. Your sister-in-law brewed another batch of wine last year, and it can be opened.

Lu Yan He: Mm, I'll go over when I'm a little free.

The night before *The Boat* started filming, Lu Yan He prepared to go to sleep as usual, but found that he couldn't sleep for a long time.

Outside the window, there was sporadic dog barking.

The barking was very far, clear, but because of such clarity, it looked even further.

Lu Yan He tossed and turned in bed.

He thought of the life he lived before crossing over for a long time.

He didn't even dare to use the word "life" to refer to that period of life. Compared with everything he experienced in these years, the life before crossing over was ordinary, ordinary, and most of the scenes every day were repeating.

School, home. Day after day. When he first came to this world, it was a solid world engraved in his life. However, in the blink of an eye, he came to this world for almost ten years.

From eighteen to twenty-seven.

This life is equally real, and because he is alone, from nothing to something, it looks particularly real.

Slowly, that period, instead, felt like a lifetime ago.

No, or rather, the word "like" should be removed.

He suddenly remembered this matter, thinking of the first year he came to this world, for the original body—ah yes, at that time, he still called him the original body. For the things that happened to Lu Yan He, although he sympathized, more of it was an avoidance psychology of "turning a blind eye" and "has nothing to do with me."

Enemy?

No, he clearly remembered that at that time, he never thought about revenge.

He was just afraid that he would "suffer" again.

And I don't know when it started, he began to treat the "original body" as himself, internalize "hatred" in his heart, surge anger into blood, and stick himself into Lu Yan He's flesh and blood.

At first, he was playing Lu Yan He, and then, he became Lu Yan He.

Now, he is in the body of Lu Yan He, and he is going to play a "Lu Yan He" in the film text again—that role has nothing to do with Lu Yan He, but the relationship between that role and his father is faintly reflected with the relationship between Lu Yan He and Chen Pinhe.

There is not even 10% similarity.

However, just like two circles, even if only 1% of the position overlaps, there is an intersection between them.

Lu Yan He slowly knew why he couldn't sleep.

Because he was nervous.

When there is no acting experience, playing yourself is a great convenience, and it can even be said to be a huge advantage.

But after having rich acting experience and skills, encountering a role that plays yourself is forcing you to "return to the basics" and forcing you to "reach the original heart."

The older a person is, the more afraid they are of touching things deep in their hearts.

"The results of *Seventeen Layers: Reboot* are very good, and so far, the ratings have always been number one."

Zhang Yuezhen said to Chen Pinhe.

"And, its broadcast results on Maxine are also very eye-catching, always stable in the top eight of the global daily and weekly lists."

Chen Pinhe said: "Isn't *Flying Over the Grass* the most popular TV drama recently?"

"The themes are different. From the data, we have always had better data than *Flying Over the Grass*. It's just that they have a lot of tricks, all of which are side doors." Zhang Yuezhen looked disdainful. "For a while, it was the adaptation of comics entering the top three of the global reading list on a comic platform, and for a while, it was the co-branded T-shirt sales breaking some record. What does it have to do with this drama?"

Chen Pinhe: "Have you watched the drama *Flying Over the Grass*?"

"Watched a few glances, spent so much money, actually it's just like that. Li Zhibai can't compare with your national popularity." Zhang Yuezhen said. "The ratings of *Seventeen Layers: Reboot* have broken 2, and their ratings have not improved. So far, it is only 1.2."

Chen Pinhe said: "Mm, but the discussion about *Flying Over the Grass* on the internet seems to be more than *Seventeen Layers: Reboot*, and, in that drama, except for Li Zhibai, they are all unknown actors. However, one after another on the hot search, it seems that they have become popular because of this drama."

"With such a large publicity effort, a piece of wood can also be popular." Zhang Yuezhen said. "The data of *Seventeen Layers: Reboot* is very good. Maxine is already consulting with Jingtai about the second part. They very much hope that this drama can continue to be developed and developed into a trilogy."

Chen Pinhe: "Do I need to continue acting?"

"Of course, if you don't continue acting, what is it called a trilogy." Zhang Yuezhen said. "Husband, don't look at *Flying Over the Grass* being so lively. What drama is popular and what drama is fake lively, they are all clear. *Flying Over the Grass* has not entered the HP global top ten so far, and the daily list has never entered it. So, how to compare? It can't be compared at all. Jingtai will soon announce the start of the production of the second part of *Seventeen Layers: Reboot*. At that time, which drama is broadcast better, it will naturally be clear."

"Yes, South Korea's TVN wants to buy the copyright of *Flying Over the Grass* and remake it into a Korean drama." Chen Yin said on the phone with Lin Suyang. "However, they don't want to remake it as it is. The love story of Li Zhibai's parents in *Flying Over the Grass* has a great response in South Korea. They want to use Li Zhibai's parents in *Flying Over the Grass* as the protagonists to create a Korean drama."

"This is not a remake at all. They want to make a spin-off." Lin Suyang said.

"Yes." Chen Yin nodded. "You are not wrong."

"Although the copyright of *Flying Over the Grass* is in our hands, this matter may need to be discussed." Lin Suyang said. "If you make a spin-off, I don't know if it will affect Liu Manbo's next plan. Liu Manbo is also making a spin-off plan. Yuehu TV has issued an invitation to Liu Manbo, wanting to make the second part of *Flying Over the Grass*."

Chen Yin: "Okay, Jin Yanshu should come to China next week. It is estimated that it is to talk about this matter. No matter what your plan is in the end, you should get to know her first. Maybe there will be many cooperations in the future."

"Good." Lin Suyang nodded.

Chen Yin said again: "On HP's side, the broadcast data of *Flying Over the Grass* is also not bad, but compared with *Seventeen Layers: Reboot*, it is weaker. *Seventeen Layers: Reboot* relies on previous drama fans, and its attention overseas is still much larger."

"This is expected."

"But fortunately, the performance of *Flying Over the Grass* in the Asian region is still very good, and the number of viewers on HP exceeded 4 million." Chen Yin said. "This time, the joint broadcast of *Flying Over the Grass* involves many aspects. I suggest that if you really make a spin-off later, you can introduce HP's investment."

"The performance of *Flying Over the Grass* on HP is relatively average. Will they be interested in spin-offs?"

"This average depends on who you compare with." Chen Yin said. "As a copyright drama, the number of viewers of *Flying Over the Grass* in the Asian region exceeded 4 million. Even if it did not form a global explosion, it is already a relatively successful work of HP in the Asian region in recent years. They originally needed to compete with Maxine in the Asian region. However, in Korean dramas, because Zhong Benshuo himself is of Korean descent, the top projects were all dug away by Maxine. HP very much needs Chinese-language dramas. *Flying Over the Grass* has such a good reputation and did not make them lose money, so they must be interested in continuing to cooperate."

Lin Suyang suddenly realized.

"Our *2 Broke Girls* also has better results season by season." Chen Yin said. "*Friends* is not very popular from the first season. Compared with a limited drama, any platform prefers series works, because the appearance of each new work will drive the data improvement of old works, and the risk is greatly reduced. As long as one of them explodes, the value of the whole series will rise."

Lin Suyang: "OK, cooperating with you this time is really an eye-opener. It turns out that film and television dramas can still be played like this. Compared with Linghe, other film and television companies in China feel that they are still stuck in the previous stage."

"They just don't have the corresponding resources." Chen Yin said. "In fact, this time the copyright spin-off linkage of *Flying Over the Grass* is done well, also because the lead actor is Li Zhibai. His commercial value in the eyes of brands is high, and everyone is willing to pay for him in advance. If it were someone else, it might not be. His commercial value in China can be ranked in the TOP3."

Lin Suyang: "But only you have exerted it."

"Just let them follow the pattern in the future."

"How dare you." Lin Suyang said. "The higher the commercial value, the more afraid that others will pluck a handful and leave. Like such co-branded T-shirts, if you didn't do it, I would 99% not agree to such cooperation. Who knows what the quality is, whether it is cutting leeks, you sell 129 yuan a piece, if you change to someone else, you can sell it at a high price of 699 yuan, and you can find first-line clothing brands to cooperate. Others, maybe it is a self-produced and self-sold grass-roots team, all wanting to take advantage of Zhibai."

"This requires you to check well, but no matter what, Zhibai's value is so high, as long as it is operated well, it is completely possible to use such value to exchange for some resources that are more favorable to him." Chen Yin said. "We Linghe have been doing copyright spin-offs for so long. When *Flying Over the Grass* went to talk, it was the best to talk. The doors of various brands were opened directly for him."

Lin Suyang: "This is really his gifted talent. He simply does himself. In the eyes of fans, he has personality and is real. In the eyes of brands, he is relaxed, open-minded, and advanced. He is really an enviable person."
