Choose a day to become famous

It's a new year again.

New Year.

The judges also went on vacation, and Lu Yanhe finally had a day without any work.

However, he still set himself the task of watching one of the nominated dramas.

Up to now, Lu Yanhe has basically watched all the nominated dramas, except for one or two that have fewer nominated awards.

Because of this, Lu Yanhe was relieved. He almost thought he would burst into tears and not be able to finish watching. Because some TV series are really too long, with as many as 40 episodes, Lu Yanhe couldn't watch this kind of drama normally in the end, and in many parts, he watched it at double speed.

Fortunately, there is double speed in this era.

-

Lu Yanhe made himself a pot of tea, cleared his mind for a while, and then started watching the show.

He was taking some notes while reading.

This is because he is afraid that he will forget some wonderful parts. Basically, for every drama he thinks is good, he will write down a few keywords so that when he reviews and evaluates it, he can remember these wonderful clips by seeing these keywords.

At this time, Lu Yanhe had to admit one thing. At least in the matter of award judging, movies had to be much more fair than TV series. Generally speaking, the judges would definitely watch every nominated movie, but it was not certain for TV series.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Biao knocked on the door, swiped his card, and came in carrying a salad.

The salad was for Lu Yanhe.

This is Lu Yanhe’s lunch.

Wang Biao also brought coffee.

"Are you here alone today?"

"Yes." Wang Biao said, "I gave them all a day off. They have been working non-stop these days, so I let them take a day off."

"What about you? Why don't you take a rest?" Lu Yanhe said, "There's actually nothing here that needs your care. I won't go out all day. I'll stay in my room the whole time."

"There should be someone to accompany you in the hotel," Wang Biao said, "in case you need anything, you won't be left alone."

Lu Yanhe said: "Okay, then do you want to watch the show with me?"

"No." Wang Biao refused directly, "I don't want to watch it, you watch it, I'm outside looking at my phone, call me if you have anything."

Lu Yanhe's room is a suite. If Wang Biao stays in the room outside, it will not affect Lu Yanhe who is watching the show inside.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Wang Biao told him what Chen Ziyan had told him last night.

Lu Yanhe immediately realized something. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you."

Wang Biao: "Then I'll go out. Call me if you need anything."

"Um."

It wasn't the first day that Lu Yanhe knew Chen Ziyan, so he knew very well what was implied behind Chen Ziyan's words.

There may be a problem.

Did Yang Zhouli direct and act in the film himself?

Is it possible?

Lu Yanhe thought seriously for a moment.

However, there were no more clues for him to think about, so he had to give up for the time being.

Never mind that for now.

Lu Yanhe opened the drama and started watching.

-

The drama was nominated for only two awards, one for Best Supporting Actor and the other for Best Director.

Although the number of nominated awards is small, they are all heavyweight awards.

Lu Yanhe specifically saved this drama for last because it has a shorter episode count and has a good reputation. If he saved this drama for last, he wouldn't feel that much pressure.

Lu Yanhe was watching when suddenly a call came in on his cell phone.

"Hello, teacher, are you looking for me?" The call Lu Yanhe received was from Luo Yuzhong.

"Yes, I'm looking for you." Luo Yuzhong said, "Is it convenient for you now?"

"It's convenient. I'm alone in the hotel room now." Lu Yanhe said, "What can I do for you, teacher?"

Luo Yuzhong: "I want to ask you, if you have time next year... oh, no, this year, can you spare some time to play a cameo role for me?"

"Guest appearance? Of course." Lu Yanhe said, "As long as it's not a starring role for me, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Okay, then I know. I'll have someone from the team send a message to your agency later."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe asked, "Teacher, are you going to shoot a new play?"

"Yes." Luo Yuzhong said, "If the company doesn't start new projects, everyone will be left with nothing."

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

It turns out it was due to such a superficial reason.

Lu Yanhe asked: "But, didn't you just finish filming The Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

"The "Legend of Sword and Fairy" project was a contracted project. Many people in the company did not participate, so we were unable to make money from this project," said Luo Yuzhong.

Lu Yanhe understood.

To put it bluntly, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a project of Linghe, and Luo Yuzhong and his team were invited by Lu Yanhe to be the production team of this drama. In this project, many people from Linghe occupied some positions, and naturally many people from Luo Yuzhong's company could not participate in this project.

Lu Yanhe reacted and chuckled.

"Teacher, actually if your company needs a project, you know that Tiaoqi Theater has always been short of production teams." Lu Yanhe said.

Luo Yuzhong said: "Tiaoqi Theater gives us two to three projects every year. If there are more, it will not be good. We can only do so much. Now I am mainly short of my own leading project. So, I have prepared several projects before, and I quickly found one to do this year."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe said, "It may be difficult to coordinate a schedule of more than a week, but a guest appearance is no problem."

Luo Yuzhong: "Okay, I'll send you the script later, and you can pick the role you want to play."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe told Chen Ziyan and Wang Biao about this matter.

The two of them wrote this down in their memos.

-

The drama that Luo Yuzhong is going to shoot is called "White No. 13".

A spy drama with only twelve episodes.

After Lu Yanhe got the script, he immediately thought of the film "Dingfeng No. 1" that he was going to shoot with Liu Bige.

The names are oddly similar.

However, the latter is a code name for a plan, while White Thirteen is the code name for a place.

Luo Yuzhong has always been good at shooting serious dramas.

This time, "White No. 13" happens to be the type that Luo Yuzhong is best at.

The script consists of twelve episodes, each of which has just over 10,000 words. Lu Yanhe finished reading it in almost three days.

Lu Yanhe sent a message to Luo Yuzhong: This script is well written.

Luo Yuzhong: What do you think?

Lu Yanhe: It’s a very neat script, but I feel that it lacks a bit of thrill. If it were made into a movie, it might be a certain feeling, but as a TV series, I feel that it’s a bit dull.

Luo Yuzhong: The advantage of this script is that the characters are well-written, but the shortcoming is that the plot design is ordinary and a bit bland. I agree with you. The screenwriter is making revisions and I gave him some suggestions.

Lu Yanhe: Because this drama tells the story of how we obtained intelligence in White No. 13, a place occupied by the Japanese, at a thrilling speed. However, the entire plot has not been unfolded. At least from the script, every crisis we faced was actually described psychologically, rather than being expressed in the language of the camera through pictures and plot development.

Luo Yuzhong: The screenwriter is the original author of the novel. Our company obtained the copyright from the publishing house. I read the novel and it is actually similar to the script, except that it lacks some plot arrangement.

-

Lu Yanhe didn't know before that this script was based on an original novel.

After talking with Luo Yuzhong, he searched for the novel on the Internet.

The author of the novel is Wen Yun, a young man in his twenties. There is a photo of him signing books in Jinkou two years ago on the Internet. The photo gives the impression of a very handsome and elegant man, wearing a pair of glasses and being very gentle.

Wen Yun's novels are not famous, and he is not a famous writer either. Lu Yanhe was very surprised. Where did Luo Yuzhong's company find the novel "White Thirteen"?

Lu Yanhe sent this novel to Wang Biao to see if they could find it in a bookstore and buy it today. If they bought it online, it would take a few days to arrive. As a result, they called more than 20 bookstores, but none of them had this novel. In fact, this can also show how unpopular this novel is.

Lu Yanhe could only place an order online and wait a few days before reading it. Before that, he found the book on an e-novel website and decided to read it first.

After reading the first two chapters, which totaled almost 20,000 words, Lu Yanhe realized one thing. The novel "White Thirteen" was very well written.

In the script, there is no thrilling plot, no big excitement, but in the novel, just from these two chapters, it takes the reader into the cramped and depressing White No. 13 from the very beginning. The novel begins with a description of the depressing environment, both in the prisoners being tortured in the cage and in the meaning of the ringing of the phone.

The first chapter ends like this: Every time the phone rings harshly in this depressing and cramped office, it means a possible notice of the arrest of his companions. On top of being nervous and uneasy, he must keep his face expressionless so that no one can see the panic and trembling in his heart, because, here, he is also the arrester, and if he fails to do so, he will be arrested.

He is indeed a very good writer, but the language he uses is not cinematic.

-

This also made Lu Yanhe reflect on the final choice of the Lingyun Award in the drama category.

A drama is good enough, but its goodness may come from the language of the text, the performance of the actors, or the smoothness of the editing. It is not a hexagonal player that is good in every aspect. At this time, if there is another drama, its goodness lies in its outstanding lens language, and although there is nothing particularly outstanding in other aspects, there is no short board either.

Who should I choose at this time?

Lu Yanhe had some disputes with other judges on this matter.

In the Best Cinematography award, one judge supported a period drama about a family of winemakers, but Lu Yanhe supported a modern drama more.

Many people found the play supported by Lu Yanhe strange.

It's nothing else. In fact, in many people's minds, it is assumed that modern dramas have no chance of winning the Best Cinematography Award. Often, people will equate the exquisiteness of a drama's images with the quality of its photography. The reason why Lu Yanhe thinks this modern drama is more suitable for the Best Cinematography Award is that it is very accurate in every aspect.

This is especially true in group performances.

With every person speaking, every camera switch, every shot captured, the smoothness of the camera movement, and the capture of every detail, Lu Yanhe feels that this drama often really uses the camera to tell the audience what the drama is about, rather than the characters' lines.

Lu Yanhe said: "I don't think that cinematographers in film and television dramas are landscape photographers. It's enough to compete to see who can take the most beautiful pictures. It's also very important whether each shot is an effective shot and whether the information given by the lens is accurate enough. This reflects a photographer's understanding and talent."

-

Among the jury, there is a photographer, Xu Hui.

After listening to their argument, Xu Hui nodded and said, "In the past, when we were judging photography awards, we really cared more about the quality of the pictures, including some highly technical shots, such as one-shots and the movement between shots. Aren't there often those god-level shots discussed online?"

Lu Yanhe nodded. "Actually, that's what I wanted to say. Why are some shots called god-level shots on the Internet?"

It’s like the much-talked-about scene in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace where the concubines meet Concubine Xiang, played by Li Qin.

Just like the opening of "Beauty's Rival in Palace".

This is camera movement.

However, such shots are very obvious showmanship, so they can be easily spotted. However, few people think that the photography of modern dramas such as Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy" is great. Because the visual images are not beautiful in the conventional sense, it is not like "Nirvana in Fire", where the shots are made with various aesthetic proportions and the beauty can be seen at a glance. However, if you watch "The King of Comedy" seriously, with the mentality of "Is this shot meaningful?", you will find one thing, in this movie, no shot is useless, and the premise is that every shot can effectively express the meaning of the movie.

For example, the famous "I will support you" scene.

It was truly a play that combined performance, photography, editing, camera movement, and music, and could be considered a textbook play.

Empty shots, close-ups, medium shots, camera movements... every shot complements the mood of the two people, the development of the plot, the lines and subtext.

Lu Yanhe believes that for a photographer, the beauty of the picture and the difficulty of the technology are external skills, while the ability to use the lens to point out the implied meaning of the characters' dialogue and the ability to add "subtext" are internal skills.

Lu Yanhe also realized this after reading the book "White No. 13".

As a novel, "White Thirteen" is actually excellent, but as a drama script it is very ordinary and just neat.

Every form should have something that is unique to it and cannot be expressed by other forms.

For photography, it is the language of the lens.

Lu Yanhe's reason made everyone fall into deep thought.

Xu Hui said: "Actually, I am very surprised to hear such a speech from Yan He."

Lu Yanhe looked at Xu Hui.

Xu Hui said: "As photographers, we are often asked to take beautiful pictures, but few directors care about what information we are shooting. Directors and actors who understand drama will discuss with us the movement trajectory of the lens and the different effects of each lens position. Directors and actors who don't understand drama will say that some photographers take beautiful pictures, why can't I take some life shots for them..."

Lu Yanhe laughed.

Xu Hui shrugged her shoulders: "The shots should have information, and it should not be information that is out of touch with the show, not some very handsome or beautiful appearance shots, nor a few very cool camera movements, that is good photography. I can understand why Yan He would support the show "Libin Hotel". The photography of this show is really great, and the information it gives is very accurate. When you look at the scene where the thief steals the guest's things, it looks like this scene is spliced ​​together by different shots, and the camera keeps switching between the thief and the guest being stolen. In fact, it is done in one go, and its camera movement line is very smooth. It is the action of stealing, not the thief. So, when watching this scene, we can see very accurately how he steals so many things in front of so many people without being noticed. It seems chaotic, but if you pay close attention, you will see that every time the thief strikes, the camera actually captures it accurately. It may not be a close-up - many photographers will emphasize this, and it is often a flat close-up, but it is a dynamic process, from the hand reaching into the bag to taking it out, and then putting it into his pocket under the eyes of everyone. "

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Liu Teli said, "Then let's take out the scene that Xu Hui mentioned and watch it together. It's a good opportunity, Teacher Xu, you can also explain to us the photography of this scene and what is good about it. We can also have a lesson."

Xu Hui nodded.

Next, they actually had a one-hour photography analysis class.

After the analysis, Jiang Yingxue, who had raised objections earlier, nodded and said, "I've learned something."

Xu Hui: "However, I really didn't expect Yan He to pay so much attention to it. You are not a photographer, so why would you care about these things?"

Lu Yanhe said: "Because when I was writing the script, including when I was reading the script written by others, I would actually imagine the scenes in my mind. Then when I compared it with the final film, you would find that some photographers handled it better than you thought, while some photographers were just honestly shooting in the conventional way. Film and television dramas still require all kinds of workers to understand the script and reach a consensus, so that the efforts can be put together. Sometimes, when I act out a scene, I feel that everything in the scene is actually in my eyes, so I will be more restrained and focus on the details, but the photographer took a medium shot for me, and the lens basically couldn't capture what I saw in my eyes, and I was very helpless. Sometimes, I hope that the photographer can understand the play a little bit, and know what this part of the script is about and what it is about to express."

Xu Hui laughed.

"This is the director's fault. The cinematographer basically listens to the director on the set."

"Everything can be blamed on the director, because the director is responsible for the entire play." Lu Yanhe said, "But if you don't want your work to be criticized, at least you can do your part well. Even if the director doesn't say anything, you can do it well."

"Of course you can say that," Xu Hui said. "Photographers with aspirations will definitely figure it out on their own, but now there are too many people in the industry who just want to do their job."

"So, will we decide on the Best Photography award today?" Liu Teli asked.

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "We are only in the discussion stage now. Let's vote on the last day to decide who will win the prize. We can think about it again after we go back."

Liu Teli was a little surprised.

If we vote under the current circumstances, the Best Photography Award will 100% go to "The Libin Hotel".

Lu Yanhe refused.

Isn’t he afraid of some twists and turns later?

Lu Yanhe said, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow to attend the Golden Globe Awards, so I have to take a few days off. Sorry."

Others had known about this a long time ago and had already communicated it.

They nodded.

Lian Bei smiled and said, "I wish you a prize!"

"What kind of award is it? It's difficult." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "It's very difficult."

"No one expected me to be nominated for a Golden Globe. You never know what will happen, right?" Lian Bei said. "But if I win the award, you have to treat me when I get back."

Lu Yanhe: "Okay, you guys book a place and eat whatever you want. I'll treat everyone."

Lian Bei: "Look, they said earlier that it would be hard to win the prize, but now they just let us book a place."

"What I mean is, whether I win the award or not, I will treat everyone to a meal." Lu Yanhe said with a helpless smile.

-

After all, the Golden Globe Awards is one of the most watched award ceremonies in the world.

This time, with so many popular Chinese actors nominated for acting awards, fans of several of them have already started celebrating. Now as the award ceremony approaches, everyone is naturally looking forward to it even more.

"Friends" took a four-day break.

On the eve of departure, Chen Siqi made a sudden decision to attend the Golden Globe Awards with Lu Yanhe.

Each nominee may bring one person to the awards ceremony.

Lu Yanhe had asked Chen Siqi before whether she wanted to attend. Chen Siqi didn't want to go at first, but when she thought about being able to promote "Jump Up" magazine at the Golden Globe Awards, she changed her mind.

Because the Mook English version of "Jump Up" has just been published.

Chen Siqi decided to wear it on the red carpet.

When Lu Yanhe found out, he was speechless.

"I asked you to accompany me, but you refused to go. But when you thought about promoting 'Jump Up', you were willing to go." Lu Yanhe squinted and said, "You keep saying that you love me, hate work, want to rest, and want to spend more time with me, but in fact you still love work more."

Chen Siqi: "We are both the same, so let's not criticize each other."

"snort."

After Lu Yanhe brought Chen Siqi, Yan Liang brought Li Zhibai——

In fact, Zhou Ping'an really wanted to enter the main stadium with Yan Liang, but Yan Liang directly refused, saying that he had already promised Li Zhibai (obviously he had not asked Li Zhibai whether he would go at that time).

Li Zhibai is of course OK too. After filming The Chinese Paladin, he now has a lot of free time.

As for Zhan Yun, she had originally planned to bring Yang Zhoujin with her, but no one expected that so many things would happen in between, and now they have broken up.

She finally decided to bring her mother along.

-

"Me? I'll go alone." Chen Bige said, "I won't win any prize, so it's meaningless to take anyone with me."

Chen Bige, who was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Movie for her role in "Love Letter", doesn't plan to bring anyone along because she feels she has no chance of winning the award.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Sister Bi Ge, if you really don't have anyone to bring with you, can you bring Zhang Ruozhi with you?"

As another heroine of "Love Letter", Zhang Ruozhi is now a contracted actor of Shihuo.

When Love Letter participated in the Jose-La-Señora Film Festival, Zhang Ruozhi was preparing for the college entrance examination, so she missed her first appearance on the international stage.

Chen Bige nodded.

"sure."

Lu Yanhe: "Thank you."

Chen Bige asked: "Miss Ruozhi is quite likable. I don't see any news about her recently. Have you arranged a play for her or something?"

"No, she's in college, so we didn't arrange any work for her." Lu Yanhe said, "During her college years, I think we can only let her play some guest roles."

Chen Bige: "Is that so? No wonder I rarely see any news about her."

"While you can still study hard, you should study hard. There will be plenty of time and opportunities to work in the future. Once you miss the opportunity to study, you can never get it back," said Lu Yanhe.

"The newcomers discovered by you are so lucky. They don't have to worry about missing out on development opportunities or not being popular anymore." Chen Bige said, "When I became popular, I didn't dare to stop. I was afraid that I would become outdated and I didn't dare to miss any opportunity."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Bige suspiciously, "Sister Zi Yan clearly told me that you were very rebellious at that time, didn't work hard, and always got her into trouble."

Chen Bige: “…”

Lu Yanhe added: "Sister Zi Yan also said that at that time, most of her work was to clean your butt."

"That's enough, that's enough." Chen Bige quickly called a halt.

Lu Yanhe smiled.

Chen Bige: "Sister Zi Yan is really something, why would I tell you about this kind of thing?"

Lu Yanhe: "Because every time I underestimate myself, Sister Zi Yan will use you as an example to tell me that I have done a good job."

Chen Bige almost rolled her eyes and went straight to Chen Ziyan's house.

-

It was afternoon when Lu Yanhe arrived in Los Angeles.

The temperature is very low.

Lu Yanhe was wearing a down jacket and gloves, but he was still cold.

If he was alone, he would just stay in the hotel.

However, Chen Siqi said she wanted to go out for a walk, so Lu Yanhe had no choice but to accompany her.

Chen Siqi brought the English version of Mook "Jump Up" and asked Lu Yanhe to take promotional photos for her on the streets of Los Angeles.

After Chen Siqi finished the photo shoot, she asked Lu Yanhe to be a model.

Lu Yanhe: “…”

The two of them walked around in the cold wind for two hours and took countless "Jump Up" model photos.

It was almost evening when Chen Siqi said, "Let's find a place to eat something first."

Lu Yanhe nodded vigorously, "Go quickly."

They went into a fast food restaurant.

As a result, Lu Yanhe was recognized not long after he entered.

More than one person recognized him and asked him to take a photo with them.

In order to have a good dinner later, he cooperated with everyone and took photos with them.

After the photoshoot, Chen Siqi asked, "Are you so well-known in the United States now? How come people recognize you when we walk into a random restaurant?"

"Los Angeles may be more well-known in big cities, but if you go to a city that is not so modern and urban, it is basically gone." Lu Yanhe said, "In the past two years, I have often participated in public activities in Los Angeles. Not only did I act in movies, I also appeared on several TV shows and newspapers."

Chen Siqi: "I didn't know you had so much exposure in the United States."

"Anyway, it never stops." Lu Yanhe said, "Especially the few TV shows I'm on have a lot of viewers. Every time I'm on a TV show here, it will be on the trending search on Twitter."

"That means there are quite a few Americans who are interested in you."

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "It's mainly because he's handsome."

Chen Siqi: "...Can you please stop being so arrogant?"

Lu Yanhe touched his nose.

"Is there no promotional activity for the English version of 'Jump Up', Mook, here this time?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Chen Siqi said: "It's too expensive. Why hold it? We can only use the Golden Globe Awards red carpet for publicity."

"..." Lu Yanhe said, "Should I open a Twitter account?"

"Forget it." Chen Siqi shook her head. "You didn't open it before, so there's no need to open it now just to promote 'Jump Up'. It's okay, just do it normally. If the English version really can't be promoted, you can only help it for a while."

Lu Yanhe asked: "What do the publishing organizations here say?"

"They said that there have been no successful cases of this type of Mook book before," said Chen Siqi. "So far, the only overseas versions of Mook that have really launched a few issues and have had some influence are the Korean and Japanese versions. In Europe and the United States, they have basically not made any progress. However, they are still willing to give it a try, so we reached a cooperation this time."

Lu Yanhe: "If you keep pushing and it won't work, why not try another method?"

"ah?"

"Look at those fashion magazines. Vogue has dozens of language versions, and each language version has been localized." Lu Yanhe said, "Why don't you learn from this approach and develop magazines in other languages ​​and localize them."

"Is there a market for literary magazines to do this?" Chen Siqi shook his head, feeling that it was difficult.

"I don't know about that. But I have only seen a successful example of a fashion magazine that has multiple language versions." Lu Yanhe said, "It is rare to see a successful magazine that does not localize. Look at the Japanese comics magazines, which are so successful, but they have not been promoted overseas."

“Perhaps my decision to promote the magazine overseas was an unreliable one.” Chen Siqi laughed, “Based on my experience dealing with so many overseas publishing houses, they are still interested in our best-selling domestic authors and works, not magazines. Even if the sales of the magazine have steadily reached more than 300,000 copies, others are really not interested in it, and it won’t work if it is made into a Mook.”

Lu Yanhe said: "There is indeed no successful precedent."

Chen Siqi: "But let's still try it. The worst that can happen is that we have to pay tuition fees. At least we can get to know publishing houses all over the world, deal with them, and get to know them. It will also be convenient for us to promote the novels of domestic writers with them."

Lu Yanhe asked: "How is the overseas publishing market for our domestic writers' novels now?"

"The suspense, crime and mystery genres are quite popular, while the others are just average," said Chen Siqi. "Among the writers we have signed contracts with and represented for overseas publication, the most popular ones are Liu Jiazhen, who is popular in Europe, America and Japan, and Mingyin, who is popular in Asia. They published one book in Europe and America, but the sales were very poor. Apart from these two, the others have only published one or two books, and none of them sold very well, so it's hard to tell what's going on."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

Chen Siqi said: "On the one hand, our overseas publicity channels are very ordinary, and the publishing houses we cooperate with do not provide much publicity and promotion resources, resulting in basically no publicity and exposure. On the other hand, foreign readers do not have the habit of reading Chinese literature. Chinese modern literary works do not have much influence overseas. The most well-known ones are still those traditional classics, such as Journey to the West."

"It really takes time to develop the market and cultivate readers," said Lu Yanhe. "Cultural influence is actually like that. Why are European, American, Japanese and Korean works so popular in China? There is at least one reason, that is, a readership that can read these countries' literary works has been cultivated little by little. Japan has animation, and the United States has movies. Because of these popular works, their culture has gradually become familiar to us. But our Chinese culture is still too 'profound' for foreigners, and the threshold is high."

Chen Siqi nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. I have dealt with many foreign publishing organizations, and I know from the conversation that they are actually very unfamiliar with the publishing situation in our country. They only know a few of the most famous ones. Moreover, because there are no successful best-selling authors, they don't believe that Chinese novels can be popular. But because there are some particularly popular foreign writers in China, there are always publishing houses that are trying to recruit new foreign writers, and they can launch relatively popular best-selling books every year."

She smiled and said, "This is also the reason why I decided to come to the Golden Globe Awards with you. On the one hand, I want to build my own personal image brand. It is natural for me to promote my books on various social media. On the other hand, I think I still can't be aloof. I can't forget how "Jump Up" became famous. It is obvious that I can use the star and celebrity effect. Why don't I use it? I want to make friends with these circles and ask them to help promote my books."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

“That’s definitely one way to do it.”

A shortcut.

The two people ate and chatted.

After eating, we walked back to the hotel together.

Under the cover of night, the city of Los Angeles actually looks no different from cities in China at first glance.

These modern cities are all pretty much the same.

However, being in a foreign country is not as comfortable as being at home.

Several bodyguards around were on guard.

Even if they were not standing right next to them, this scene still prevented Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi from completely relaxing.

Lu Yanhe said: "When I came to work abroad before, I didn't know anyone, so it was quite comfortable and I could go out and explore on my own. I didn't expect that it would be impossible so soon now."

Chen Siqi: "When we travel in the future, can we only go to places with fewer people?"

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, saying, "If you don't mind being disturbed all the time, you can go to popular places, anywhere, even in China. As long as you wear sunglasses and a mask, you won't be recognized that easily in most cases."

"We haven't been out together for a long time. Are you free this New Year?"

"I'll be free after the Spring Festival Gala." Lu Yanhe said, "Although I will be very busy this year, with four dramas to shoot, plus the one where I guest-star as a teacher, that's five dramas, but I will have nothing to do during the Spring Festival."

"Then let's go out together." Chen Siqi said, "I also want to take my grandparents out to play. I'm usually too busy with work and have no time to accompany them. If I go back occasionally, I just have a meal and then leave."

"Sure." Lu Yanhe asked, "Do you need me to arrange anything?"

"Forget it since you're so busy now." Chen Siqi shook her head, "I'll arrange it."

"OK."

-

The next day, I was busy from early morning on, with something to do every hour.

Lu Yanhe had two interviews to do when he started styling.

Anyway, every time he comes, Darren Wilson will not let him idle.

If you want to be a qualified artist, you must master one principle:

If your agent helps you get work that is beneficial to your career development, as long as you can do it, try to cooperate with him/her as much as possible. Don't take the work others give you lightly just because you are a big star or a famous person.

In the acting field, you are an artist, you can stick to your own things. In the work field of artists, every achievement of yours is inseparable from the support of the team. If you rely on your fame and complain that this job is too tiring and that job is not advanced or troublesome enough, you will not only eliminate your enthusiasm for work, but also the sustainability of your career.

Of course, it is precisely because Lu Yanhe has such an idea that Chen Ziyan said that Lu Yanhe is actually an artist with a very high degree of cooperation.

It is also because of this that the entire industry has a high reputation for Lu Yanhe's cooperation.

After the interview, Lu Yanhe had to take a departure photo according to the arrangement of Wang Biao and others.

Afterwards, eat something to fill your stomach and get ready to set off.

For male actors, attending an award ceremony is relatively kind, at least he doesn't have to starve or eat anything just to fit into a suit.

However, Lu Yanhe also has his own headaches.

For example, the issue of "recognizing people". Tonight, Darren Wilson will not be with him. For him, his most important client today is Edward Hodgson, who is competing for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Therefore, if there is no one to whisper in his ear to remind him "who the other person is", it would be bad if Lu Yanhe could not recognize the person who greeted him and had met him before -

An embarrassing scene will occur.

As Lu Yanhe was walking to the car, he was very seriously reviewing the guests attending tonight's Golden Globe Awards on his tablet computer, looking at their photos one by one and learning their names, including their representative works.

In fact, Lu Yanhe had never thought that he would have to do such a thing, although he had done it many times before.

Chen Siqi looked at this scene and was very surprised.

"Really? I'm impressed. If you don't succeed, who will?" Chen Siqi said, "I'm a social person every day, but I'm not as exaggerated as you."

Lu Yanhe: "There's nothing I can do. In this situation, I can only do this to avoid embarrassment."

Chen Siqi suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Chen Siqi: "My phone pushed a piece of news to me, saying that Shijin Group is negotiating with Yemai.com to acquire it, and the person in charge of the negotiations is Yang Zhouli."
