Chapter 913: Daily Life

In the evening, Chen Siqi brought Lin Yu and the others over, and they set up a table.

Of course, Lu Yan He didn't cook himself.

It was the canteen aunt from the *Jump Up* headquarters who came to cook.

Lu Yan He could stir-fry two dishes at most, but he didn't have the ability to set up a table.

Miao Yue finished talking with the publishing house and brought Xu Xiaoyin over.

Lu Yan He hadn't seen Xu Xiaoyin for a long time and was pleasantly surprised.

His cooperation with Jiang Yin Publishing House was all established because of Xu Xiaoyin.

Now Xu Xiaoyin still sends him some new books every year, including trial copies before publication.

If Lu Yan He likes them, he will write a reading experience or recommendation for her.

Xu Xiaoyin can use these words to help this book do market promotion—even print it directly on the book's waist seal.

Lu Yan He's recommendation is very helpful to books—especially books by new authors.

After all, this is not an era where paper books are king.

It is also difficult for publishing houses to promote new authors, and they might have to prepare for the first book of this author not to make money.

This is not only because there are fewer readers willing to read books.

It is also because the difficulty for readers who still read books to discover a book by a new author has increased.

Lu Yan He is still willing to continue doing such things, which has also driven many celebrity artists to do this.

Like Jiang Yin Publishing House, because of the operation of novel IPs, they have established contacts with many film and television companies, producers, directors, and actors. Besides Lu Yan He, they will also send books to influential artists who are willing to make recommendations.

Often, they are willing to recommend them on social media, which can make this book enter the bestseller list.

Xu Xiaoyin has now become the editor-in-chief of fictional publishing content at Jiang Yin Publishing House.

Only books by authors of Miao Yue's level will be personally responsible by her.

Those who eat together in the evening are all engaged in cultural work, so they can talk together.

Talking about this, Lu Yan He discovered that Liu Bige has a large amount of reading, and he even understands domestic writers, from paper books to web novels.

Liu Bige said: "I like reading novels quite a bit, especially novels whose stories attract me. However, many people think I like reading that kind of literary, stream-of-consciousness novels. I can't say I don't like them, but actually, what I like most is story, and I don't like novels with weak story."

"I knew it by watching the movies you shot. Although your movies have a strong personal style, especially *Late Spring* feels very literary, but even *Late Spring* is actually a strong-plot movie." Lu Yan He said, "Your movies, the lens rhythm is very fast, isn't it? Even if it's a long shot, it's not that kind of static lens, but letting the story develop in one shot to the end."

Liu Bige: "You still understand me. I know that some actors come to see me, wanting to be in my later plays, probably thinking I am that kind of relatively dull literary film director. I even suspect that they haven't watched my movies much, or just watched some clips, and then opened their mouths to say they want to shoot some real, art films that don't cater to the market, shoot that kind of film that completely focuses on the inner heart and changes of characters, and then say they act in some dog-blooded plots, and they act until they don't recognize themselves. I was stunned when I heard it. I thought to myself, which of my movies is like that? *Late Spring*'s plot is so dog-blooded, I even feel it's dog-blooded myself, and I still don't know how to focus on the inner heart and changes of characters through the lens."

Lu Yan He laughed.

"So your movies are actually relatively liked by the audience among those film festival movies." Chen Siqi said, "Your movies are just very unique in style, with your personal authorial expression, but the content of the movie itself is still telling a story that attracts people to watch."

"Yes." Liu Bige nodded, "I don't like watching movies with no plot development myself. I'm not saying that kind of movie is bad, some directors can also shoot that kind of movie well, but I don't have that ability."

"You are an international big director, how can you be so humble." Lu Yan He teased.

Liu Bige picked up his wine glass and scolded with a smile: "International your grandfather!"

Several people talked and laughed, and later, they all drank a bit too much.

Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi arranged cars to send them back separately.

When only the two of them were left in the house, they sat on the sofa together, leaning against each other.

Neither of them spoke, just kept this posture for about ten minutes.

Then, Chen Siqi seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "Just now Xu Xiaoyin asked me if you would be willing to publish the scripts you wrote before."

"Publish?" Lu Yan He was a bit surprised, "Is there anyone who reads published scripts?"

Chen Siqi: "Hanging your name, and those movies are very famous, someone will definitely buy them, and someone will definitely read them."

Lu Yan He thought for a moment, but was a bit hesitant.

Because, there is actually a difference between the script and the final finished film.

If you don't make modifications and adjustments in contrast to the finished film, everyone will be able to see some different places by then.

And if you want to make modifications and adjustments, it is another big project.

Lu Yan He doesn't really want to spend this effort to do it now.

Because it is very laborious, it is not such an easy thing.

Chen Siqi said: "The reason Xu Xiaoyin made this plan is because the year after next is the tenth anniversary of the broadcast of the first season of *Friends*. They are thinking about whether they can commemorate the tenth anniversary of the broadcast of *Friends* and launch the publication of the original script as a celebration activity. They want to take the tenth anniversary of the broadcast or release of each play as a node to do a series of publication plans."

This year is the tenth year since Lu Yan He came to this world, and the year after next is the tenth year since *Friends* was broadcast.

Lu Yan He's thoughts drifted away—

He originally didn't have any real feeling about coming to this world for ten years, but as soon as he heard that *Friends* would be broadcast for ten years, he suddenly realized.

The original *Friends* only had ten seasons.

It has been such a long time.

Lu Yan He scratched his head and laughed.

"Okay." Lu Yan He thought, "It's not that it has to be published in one breath, take it slow, it's fine."

Chen Siqi: "Then I'll hire an editor later to help you revise all the scripts in contrast to the final finished film?"

"No need, I'll do it myself." Lu Yan He said, "Just right, I can also review my ten years myself."

"Also good." Chen Siqi gently leaned her head on Lu Yan He's shoulder, and suddenly sighed, "It's almost ten years."

Lu Yan He held Chen Siqi's hand and gently squeezed it in her palm.

Throughout June, Lu Yan He basically stayed in Lingyang District.

Either spending time with Chen Siqi, or going to the city to have a meal and chat with people.

At first, he wasn't used to being so leisurely, but later he got used to it and didn't want to go back to work at all.

He didn't even want to live stream to write scripts or read books.

Mainly he didn't want to live stream.

Live streaming still couldn't completely relax.

However, in July, he had to get busy.

Because the blockbuster *Godless* he starred in, produced and distributed by Green Valley, was about to be released.

Although not the first lead, he is also a core character of this series, a core character like Dumbledore is to the *Harry Potter* series.

Especially since the lead of this movie is a newcomer, now that this movie is released, he is the focus of the publicity work.

From major magazine covers to popular programs and podcast interviews.

Lu Yan He once thought that the publicity itinerary he participated in as *Mist 2* was the busiest, after all, it was also a blockbuster distributed by a Hollywood company.

But truly participating in its publicity as the lead of *Godless*, Lu Yan He realized that the publicity investment intensity of a $30 million movie and a movie with a production cost of over $100 million is still very different.

Especially in the publicity resources all over the world—

*Mist 2* was ultimately not mainstream enough because it was a thriller horror movie, while *Godless* is a real box office killer, a fantasy special effects blockbuster.

In short, to give an example, the major top magazine covers that are regarded as a battleground for fans of all families, Lu Yan He went on 32 in 8 countries and regions in one go.

All pushed by Green Valley.

Big hand.

Not to mention, he went on a hot program in the countries where the main ticket warehouses are located, one in each country.

It was also arranged by Green Valley.

For a time, Lu Yan He's exposure frequency was so high that he seemed to live in the homes of major entertainment media.

The headline of the domestic media is: Lu Yan He—True Global Superstar. ===== CHAPTER 914 =====
