Choose a day to become famous

This is not the first time that Lu Yanhe has celebrated the New Year with Chen Siqi's family.

However, he usually only meets with them at this time.

Chen Siqi had never asked him to meet them.

Come to think of it, neither he nor Chen Siqi had a normal growing environment.

Of course, Lu Yanhe was better. At least before he crossed over, he was a child who grew up in a normal family environment, and he did not lack any love. But after coming here, his original experience created a contradictory mentality in him. Sometimes, he even forgot everything before he crossed over, and would replace the perspective of his original body, shrouded by a kind of extreme loneliness, hatred and anger.

And Chen Siqi——

Lu Yanhe thought, fortunately Chen Siqi still has her grandparents, so during all the years of fighting with Liu Weian, she didn't need to fight for love from her father. She also had some people who loved her normally and let her know what normal love was like.

Lu Yanhe suddenly reacted.

Chen Siqi said that the wedding would not have those traditional parts, such as the parents' part. In addition to the reasons she mentioned, did she also take his side into consideration?

However, no one from Lu Yanhe's side could attend the wedding as a representative of his family.

After Lu Yanhe realized what was happening, he smiled.

He is twenty-four years old this year, and so is Chen Siqi.

It seems a bit too early to get married at this age.

However, if you count from the beginning of their relationship, he and Chen Siqi have been in a relationship for six years.

Lu Yanhe thought inexplicably, how about getting married next year?

He didn't ask Chen Siqi.

He probably knew what Chen Siqi was thinking.

Chen Siqi never mentioned the question of when to get married because she knew that he had been very busy with work in recent years and had almost no time to stop.

It’s also because I don’t want to rush him or put pressure on him.

Lu Yanhe didn't feel any pressure.

To this day, he can no longer imagine what it would be like to marry someone else.

He just has an inherent problem, he always wants to do one thing to the best of his ability.

The same goes for marriage.

It is certainly easy to get a marriage certificate, but you can't just be perfunctory about holding a wedding.

Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up.

"How about we go get the certificate after we come back?" Lu Yanhe suddenly asked.

Chen Siqi slammed on the brakes.

Lu Yanhe was almost hit on the windshield in front of him.

Lu Yanhe hasn't come back to his senses yet.

Chen Siqi asked again: "Do you think I'm urging you to get married?"

"No." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "I was just thinking that holding a wedding is troublesome, and you have to deal with all kinds of things, but getting a marriage certificate is much simpler. Anyway, we have been in love for such a long time, right?"

Chen Siqi: "...Do you know how big of a stir it would cause if we got married now?"

Lu Yanhe: "No matter how big a storm our marriage stirs up, what does it have to do with us?"

Chen Siqi: "I'm not talking about public opinion, but about our respective companies, partners, and the many employees behind them."

Lu Yanhe: "It's fine as long as it's the same now as it is after marriage."

"Sign a prenuptial agreement?" Chen Siqi asked, "Are you sure? Will we still keep our divisions so clear after we get married?"

"It's not clear now." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "What I mean is, these are not that important. Are we not going to get married just because of these things?"

"I didn't say we won't get married, but you said you'd get the marriage certificate as soon as you came back. How can it be that fast?" Chen Siqi said, "Have you discussed this with Sister Zi Yan? What about your Linghe? What if, I mean what if, we get divorced in the end, how are these things divided?"

"I have never thought about divorce."

"You've put me on the moral low ground." Chen Siqi was helpless. "I just want to think through all the situations in advance, don't be impulsive, don't regret it. Even if the two of us have made up our minds to be entangled with each other for the rest of our lives and never separate, this is not a guarantee for the people around us. They don't feel safe."

Lu Yanhe: “…”

Chen Siqi: "Also, you don't think I will agree to marry you if you don't propose to me seriously, right?"

Lu Yanhe was deflated.

"never mind."

Chen Siqi stared at Lu Yanhe seriously.

"Hey." She reached out and poked Lu Yanhe.

"what?"

Chen Siqi raised her hand and pinched Lu Yanhe's nose.

"You know very well that I am very willing to marry you. You are the person I love most in this world."

Lu Yanhe's attitude softened.

"Then why did you say so much?"

"Who told you to suddenly tell me while I was driving? And why did you say it so dryly?" Chen Siqi said, "If you had proposed to me formally in a particularly romantic place, why would I have said goodbye to you so much? I would definitely agree to you first, and then say goodbye to you."

Lu Yanhe: "...I just thought of it suddenly."

"I know you just thought of it suddenly, and I was just impulsive, so I'm arguing with you for so long." Chen Siqi said, "I don't want you to bring this up suddenly."

"That's not the case. I'm talking about the timing."

"The timing is the same," Chen Siqi emphasized.

Lu Yanhe's heart has been ironed.

"I understand." Lu Yanhe nodded, "I will prepare well."

"What are you preparing for?"

"A grand proposal."

"You'd better not make a big fuss about it." Chen Siqi said immediately, "I can't stand you proposing to me in front of everyone."

"Um."

"Also, if you find me without makeup, you are not allowed to beg and have to change the date."

"..." Lu Yanhe said, "Can't you insist on putting on makeup every day?"

"I'm not a celebrity. I work so hard every day. How can I have the time to take care of myself?" Chen Siqi said confidently.

Lu Yanhe: "...Why don't you just ask me for forgiveness? I don't have any requests."

"Okay." Chen Siqi said, "Then I'll beg you."

Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Siqi in shock.

Chen Siqi had an expression that said, "What's the big deal? Of course you can."

Lu Yanhe groaned, "No, let me do it."

Chen Siqi: "What's wrong? I proposed to you, and you couldn't stand it?"

"I can't stand people saying that you forced me to get married." Lu Yanhe said bluntly.

"Heh." Chen Siqi rolled her eyes, "Okay."

-

The way each couple gets along with each other is completely different.

Lu Yanhe knew this a long time ago.

However, Lu Yanhe sometimes couldn't help but reflect on whether the love between him and Chen Siqi, which had lasted from their student days, was too familiar and sticky, lacking the youthful collision that came from unfamiliarity?

In comparison, Zhan Yun and Yin Xincheng, who had just gotten together, had dates that were secretive and full of excitement.

The relationship between the two of them has been the focus of attention since the Lingyun Award (Drama Category) ceremony.

Both teams were overwhelmed by the media's questions.

In response to this, the team responded in unison: It was just a joke on the red carpet.

Despite this, the media still persisted in asking Yin Xincheng whether he liked Zhan Yun.

Even in Yin Xincheng's comment section, there are a lot of people asking these questions.

If they hadn't happened to coincide with the Spring Festival Gala, they would probably have remained on the hot searches.

After the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala has passed, fewer people are concerned about this matter.

But it still exists.

Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun made an appointment to have dinner together during the Spring Festival.

After being caught, the two of them just smiled and said they were just good friends.

Their strategy is to deny it.

Of course, they themselves have a very convenient disguise.

"Friends" has been filmed for so many seasons, and they are already quite familiar with each other, so it's normal for them to even go out for a meal together.

As long as no intimate actions are captured, the two can be explained as friends.

In fact, even their team didn't know what was going on between the two of them. Only a few other people in "Friends" knew.

-

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the second season of "Wulin Waijia" was aired.

Huang Kairen was interviewed and he successfully lost weight and finally regained his handsome appearance.

Liu Zi and Huang Kairen, who just won the award, recorded a variety show together.

Everyone asked him curiously why he had gained so much weight recently. Was it because of too much work pressure or something else?

Huang Kairen said awkwardly: "I just got fat because I'm lazy and don't move. There's no special reason."

"Handsome guys are fat for fun, they can lose weight anytime they want." The host said, "After the first season of "Wulin Waijia" was broadcast, everyone was paying attention to the relationship progress between Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu. Do you have anything to share with us?"

"You'll have to watch the show to find out," Huang Kairen said immediately, "We can't give away spoilers."

"What does Brother Huang think of Sister Zi in private? How are Sister Zi and the character of Tong Xiangyu similar and how are they different?" The host had to change the direction of the question.

"Well, the most similar thing is that they are both people who are full of tenacity in life. Although they often say that they can't do it anymore, they are tired, and it's boring, in fact, they have never really compromised or given up." Huang Kairen said with a smile, "As for the differences, Sister Zi is not as shrewd as Tong Xiangyu. Sister Zi is quite emotional and confused in life, and is easily deceived."

Liu Zi suddenly looked at Huang Kairen in shock.

"How do you know that?"

"Ah?" The host thought Liu Zi was doing it for effect and immediately asked, "How did you know?"

Huang Kairen had no choice but to say, "For example, I saw a producer wanted to ask you to act in a play before. He didn't have a script or a director, but just talked to you. You thought that he was sincere enough to talk to you every now and then, so you agreed. But when your agent found out, he was helpless. He went to find out more about the situation, and found out that he hadn't even gotten investment yet, and was planning to use your name to get investment."

Liu Zi thought of this and laughed.

“That’s true.” She sighed, “Oh, don’t mention it. My agent scolded me badly afterwards.”

"But these are still minor matters," Liu Zi said. "It would be nice if I was only deceived by such minor matters."

Huang Kairen and the host both heard something wrong, but no one dared to ask further questions.

The host immediately changed the subject.

"Brother Huang, do you think you are a smart person?"

"Forget it." Huang Kairen nodded, "I always think things through in advance before doing anything."

Liu Zi suddenly leaned over and asked seriously, "So, did you think clearly before you became fat?"

Huang Kairen: “…”

I was speechless for a moment.

-

This scene also became a hot topic on the Internet.

The look on Liu Zi's face as he asked this question with innocent curiosity was made into an emoticon package and became the most popular new picture during the Spring Festival.

Lu Yanhe burst into laughter after seeing this.

To some extent, Huang Kairen's words were actually a bit unpopular.

In the social media arena, unless you have the talent to brag in a way that sounds insincere and non-boastful, any positive comments you make about yourself will cause many people to dislike you or even be criticized.

However, Liu Zi's words eliminated all such risks.

Although Huang Kairen became a joke because of this incident, he also gained more favorability because of everyone's "teasing".

Lu Yanhe knew very well that being serious was not a good thing for a celebrity these days. He couldn't help but ask Chen Siqi curiously, "Do you think I've been more relaxed in the past one or two years?"

Chen Siqi: "What do you mean?"

“That aspect of being an artist.”

Chen Siqi shook her head: "I don't think so."

"ah?"

"You can't really relax. People have expectations of you, not just seeing you as a joke." Chen Siqi said, "Of course, everyone likes people who don't pretend, but if one day you act really arrogant in front of the camera like Li Zhibai, the audience won't like you, but their love for you will definitely be discounted."

"Why?"

"Expectation value is different from expectation point." Chen Siqi said, "You know, we often do some surveys and rankings of celebrities. If we survey high school students and ask them which male celebrity they would most like to be their boyfriend, then your votes will definitely be very high. But once the survey is conducted among college students or older girls, Li Zhibai's votes will surpass yours."

"Doesn't this mean that people actually prefer male celebrities who are more real?"

"No, you're wrong." Chen Siqi said, "But if this list changes boyfriend to like, your votes will surpass. The main reason for this difference is that for many girls, especially relatively mature college students, you have too much halo, which makes everyone feel that it will be very stressful to become your girlfriend. This reflects everyone's basic impression of you."

Lu Yanhe: "I still don't understand why I can't be too relaxed if this is the case."

"No, pay attention, I'm not talking about being relaxed, but you can't act really casual." Chen Siqi said, "For example, if there is a documentary program that follows you and Li Zhibai for a week, if Li Zhibai's daily state is just eating and sleeping, everyone will not be surprised at all, and may even think that this is him. Moreover, because of his laziness and lack of ambition, many people feel as if they have seen themselves, without any pressure, and like him more. But if it is you, a large number of people will be disappointed, even if you have never exaggerated how hard you work and how diligent you are, you are not such a person in everyone's preconceived notion of you, which will make them feel disillusioned, because the way you present yourself is different from what they expect."

Lu Yanhe vaguely understood something.

At the end of the day, it’s all about what the audience expects from you and whether you meet their expectations.

The more famous a public figure is, the more he or she is constrained by this image.

"Of course, if you eat and sleep, sleep and eat for seven days, and then spend two hours writing a script on the last night, that would be different," Chen Siqi said. "Once you have a result that meets everyone's expectations, your laziness in the previous seven days will be rationalized, even deified. Well, people will think you are awesome because of your achievements in the past few years. To be honest, everyone judges you by the results."

"What about Yan Liang?"

"Process theory." Chen Siqi said bluntly, "A large part of Yan Liang's core fan base believes that God rewards hard work. If you can't be a genius, then be a local talent. You will get what you sow."

Lu Yanhe nodded and understood.

Although Chen Siqi's views are very stereotyped and secular, they are undoubtedly very reasonable.

For fans, idols must have a meaning and be needed by fans, which is why there is worship and pursuit of them.

Just like a rich second generation will not yearn for another rich second generation, he will only yearn for another rich second generation who is richer than him.

When fans look at their idols, sometimes they are just looking at an imagined version of themselves, a successful self, a dream that cannot be realized but is hoped to come true.

To the public, the image created by Lu Yanhe is a story of successful miracles.

-

"If Yin Xincheng really gets together with Zhan Yun, how many people will be disappointed?"

"Let me be frank. Yin Xincheng is not worthy of Zhan Yun."

"Zhan Yun is the most popular actor promoted by Friends. Even Yan Liang is not as popular as Zhan Yun. This is an indisputable fact, even though Yan Liang has filmed several hit dramas."

"Many urban girls project themselves onto Zhan Yun. Although Yin Xincheng is also very popular, to be honest, he did not get as much attention as Zhan Yun in the TV series Friends. So what right does he have to be Zhan Yun's boyfriend in terms of relationships between men and women?"

"I know that some people will scold me, saying that men and women are equal, and there is no conclusion that men must be better than women in a couple, but put aside these self-deceptions, girls, ask yourself, when you are looking for a boyfriend, don't you want to find a boyfriend who makes you admire him and is better than you?"

Just after the Lantern Festival, Yu Jiang suddenly published the following text on his personal social media, bringing the scandal between Zhan Yun and Yin Xincheng back to the public's attention.

As soon as Yu Jiang's article was published, it immediately became a hot topic.

Not only did many of her readers express their agreement in the comment section, this issue also received support and support from many people on the Internet.

Many people think that Yin Xincheng is not worthy of Zhan Yun.

Many people said that Yu Jiang directly expressed their thoughts.

It is not only their voice, but also their attitude towards life.

Someone directly said: "This actually has nothing to do with gender equality. To put it bluntly, when I look for a boyfriend or a husband, of course I want to find someone who is stronger than me. I just have a mentality of admiring the strong. There is nothing wrong with admitting this. Men want beautiful women, and women want strong men. This is very normal."

The number of likes exceeded 10,000.

The most feared thing about things between celebrities is that they become an issue in a public space.

Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun had just gotten together, and suddenly Yu Jiang fueled the flames, and their relationship suddenly became more than just a matter between the two of them.

The discussion was rampant.

Everyone came out to express their attitude.

Later, someone cited Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi as examples.

-

Just then, the second season of "Friends" ushered in the final episode of this season.

Lu Yanhe and the other six people reunited to hold a celebration party for the end of this season.

The various discussions from the outside world didn't seem to affect the mood of the six of them at all.

At the celebration banquet, everyone cut the cake happily.

Afterwards, they flew to Japan, South Korea and Singapore together to participate in three "Friends" audience meet-and-greet events.

The frequent exposure makes them appear in the eyes of those who pay attention to them almost every day.

However, amidst such intensive exposure, not a single media outlet had the opportunity to interview them regarding the recent online controversy.

They kept waiting for them to return to China and show up at the airport, where a group of media and fans who came to pick them up surrounded them in a huge crowd, making it impossible to get through.

The media, who were looking for trouble, asked loudly in front of so many people: "Yin Xincheng, Zhan Yun, have you seen the recent controversy on the Internet?"

Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun pretended not to hear and walked forward wearing sunglasses.

But those media were like dog-skin plasters, sticking to them tightly and refusing to let them go.

Ask again and again.

In the end, someone actually asked loudly, "Yin Xincheng, you don't dare to answer. Are you also guilty and feel that you are not worthy of Zhan Yun? Can you give a positive response?"

The veins on Yin Xincheng's forehead bulged.

Lu Yanhe looked at that person angrily.

He took off his sunglasses and looked over coldly.

"You like to ask whether you are worthy or not so much. Do you think you are worthy of asking such questions?"

Yan Liang pulled Lu Yanhe and said, "Ignore him, let's go."

Lu Yanhe put on his sunglasses again.

The fans who came to pick them up at the airport applauded in support.

"Well said!"

"Yin Xincheng, we support you!"

"Yin Xincheng, if you like Zhan Yun, just say it openly and ignore those people."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned into an encouragement meeting.

Yin Xincheng's face suddenly became awkward for some reason.

Zhan Yun was also embarrassed.

Bai Jin and Wen Minglan were walking at the back. They looked at each other and tried very hard to control their expressions so as not to be photographed, and made various micro-expressions to interpret them.

The six of them got into the nanny car together.

Their team all got on the car behind.

The reason they did not separate was that they started recording a show from the moment they landed.

This show is defined as a group variety show similar to "Friends", but in reality it is only recorded for one day, with everyone sitting together chatting and talking.

It is mainly a bonus episode for viewers who like this drama.

-

"Thank you very much." Yin Xincheng said to Lu Yanhe after getting in the car.

Lu Yanhe: "It's okay, luckily you held it in. Sometimes you can get so angry at the media that you have a heart attack."

"Yeah." Yin Xincheng sighed, "Every time you think you've gotten used to this kind of environment, something beyond your imagination always happens."

There were cameras in the car, so they couldn't say many things directly.

For example, Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun have already started dating.

Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun have now reached a consensus on the following attitude: neither admit nor deny, but neither will they express themselves actively.

This principle is also followed by several other members of "Friends".

Looking at the two of them like this, Lu Yanhe suddenly thought that it was a good thing that he and Chen Siqi did not make their relationship public immediately after they got together.

There are so many opinions and controversies. There are even people like Yu Jiang who turn the two of them being together into a social issue for debate. Their love is stronger than gold and might be burned in half.

It's not easy.

-

Just two days later, the Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony was held.

Lu Yanhe participated with everyone.

He was nominated for both "Friends" and "Wulin Waijia", and won the Best Screenplay Award for "Wulin Waijia".

The Blue Ribbon even prepared a special award speech: "Wulin Wai Zhuan inherits the style of Chinese classical novels in the form of situation comedy, creates unit dramas in chapter form, and reflects the world of Jianghu with small characters. In this small space, it uses the past to reflect the present. It is the foundation of a drama and deserves the title."

The award was presented by Luo Yuzhong again.

When Luo Yuzhong recited this passage, Lu Yanhe's eyes turned red.

Turns out, this is just the beginning.

The Best Supporting Actor award was won by Yan Liang for his performance in "The Mountain Top", winning the award for the second time.

The Best Actress award went to Liu Zi from "Wulin Waijia" for the second time.

The final grand prize, the Best TV Series Award, actually went to "Friends", shocking everyone in the venue.

Wen Yang personally went on stage to read the award speech: "Friends is a sitcom, and of course it is also a TV series. A good work is one that can transcend subject matter and form, transcend inherent aesthetic standards and past award barriers. Friends is a new trend, it tells the story of a group of young people's life, friendship and love in the city. When it is liked and pursued by this era with a tone that seems to be more relaxed and simple than realism, perhaps we should also notice that the meaning of realism is also being given new contemporary meanings as the times develop."

Lu Yanhe felt numb when listening to the award speech.

Tonight, it was completely a great gift from Wen Yang and Blue Ribbon to him.

These two award speeches are the best annotations of this world's "Wulin Waijia" and "Friends", annotations from a mainstream award.

The Golden Tripod Awards' neglect and contempt for them were truly swept into the ashes of history at this moment.

All the members of "Friends" went on the Blue Ribbon Awards stage together and happily enjoyed the glory of this moment.

-

That night, "Friends" could be said to have a great harvest.

The most important thing is the meaning behind this award.

In particular, the Blue Ribbon award speech for "Friends" received a huge response on the Internet.

Of course, after "Friends" won the award, many people jumped out and said that a show like "Friends" should not have won such a big award and that it could not represent the level of Chinese TV dramas.

There is always a group of people who evaluate a work in this way.

No matter how popular and recognized it is, it is useless because it is not serious enough and does not conform to the mainstream of past history.

Controversies arise one after another.

Liu Yu, the chairman of this year's Blue Ribbon Award jury and former Blue Ribbon Award Best Actor winner, responded to such doubts in an interview, "At this moment, even if I give 10,000 reasons, there will still be people who don't agree. So, I think, let's wait and see the result. Time will tell us whether this result is right or not. At least all of our judges agree with this result."

Lu Yanhe indeed did not expect this result.

He is very content.

What he didn't expect was that the Red River Award, the last of the three major TV drama awards that had not yet been awarded, announced its nominations shortly afterwards.

"Friends" was once again nominated for Best Writing and Best TV Series.

In addition to the Blue Ribbon, the Red River Award also included "Friends" in its vision.

This significance is undoubtedly a response to the controversy surrounding "Friends" winning the award.

Lu Yanhe posted a Weibo post to thank him for the nomination for the Red River Award, and then joined the crew.

Season 3 of "The Seventeenth Floor".

Final season.

The second season of "Seventeenth Floor" performed very well, continuing the popularity of the first season. Although its reputation has declined slightly, it still maintains its basic base.

The third season of "The Seventeenth Floor" will focus on filming Jiang Jun's scenes first, because he will soon join the crew to film "Doomsday".

Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige had no objection to this arrangement, and naturally no one else had any objection either.

This time, the shooting period of the third season of "Seventeen Floors" was as long as 120 days, mainly because of the finishing touches. Teacher Feng Qiyue wrote 22 episodes with great enthusiasm, and the content to be shot was more than the previous two seasons.

Fortunately, there are fewer group scenes this season, so once the schedule is coordinated, even though Lu Yanhe is the male lead, he actually only needs 60 days to shoot in the group.

This is also because this drama is ultimately told from the perspective of the heroine Chen Bige, and the male protagonist Lu Yanhe actually has not much more screen time than the other main supporting characters.

After Chen Bige joined the group, he asked Lu Yanhe a question.

"Do you have a script for me to act in this year?"

"This year..." Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "There is no suitable one for now."

Chen Bige nodded: "Then I will take other roles. Director Feng Yu has a script for me to act in, but it will take a long time to shoot. If I take this role, I won't be able to take other roles this year."

Feng Yu is a director with a very personal style. If you say he is commercial, he has a strong authorial expression. If you say he is taking the path of art films, he likes black humor and fast pace.

If Lu Yanhe were to find a comparable director, he would think that he was more like Guan Hu during the period of "Killing" and "The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel".

Lu Yanhe was very curious and asked, "Director Feng Yu's previous films were mostly about men, with few female roles. What is he going to shoot? What role do he want you to play?"

Chen Bige: "A beautiful woman is the root of trouble in a village."

When Lu Yanhe heard this, he immediately found it interesting.

"The kind about adultery, incest, barbarism, desolate lands, moral collapse, and contradictions in human nature?" Lu Yanhe asked.

"It has this meaning, and the overall plot is even more bloody." Chen Bige said, "But each character is very full of vitality. You can tell from the script that they are not people who can be raised in the city. I like this kind of barbaric but full of vitality characters. The one in Raise the Red Lantern was too depressing for me. I like the script of Fengyu because the people in it will fight over anything if they disagree."

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded.

"When is the filming going to start? I'm going to visit the set. I want to see it."

Chen Bi Ge said: "There is no time to shoot. Feng Yu asked me to give him four months' time, but based on his shooting style, I am ready to postpone it."

"Does it take him that long to film?"

"With his style, you basically can't expect to shoot any useful material in the first month." Chen Bige said, "I have also worked with him once before, so I know his character. Basically, he can only work with old acquaintances. People who are not familiar with him basically can't stand his style."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

A director of Feng Yu's level can shoot the film however he wants, and as long as he doesn't lose money, there will definitely be investors to play along with him.

A director like him, as long as he has a producer who has worked with him for a long time and knows his style to help him control costs and make a good budget, he can still make a profit even if he shoots for a year as long as the box office doesn't flop.

Just like Chen Bi Ge, her normal salary for a movie is about 8 to 15 million, which may be higher or lower, depending on the production cost and market prospects of the film. But when she shoots Feng Yu's film, she will basically not quote more than 10 million, because Feng Yu's film is not a big box office movie, the highest is 200 to 300 million, and his best box office performance in the past is 310 million.

Of course, actors should be like Chen Bi Ge, and their pay should be determined by the film. If they don't rely on pay to support their families, there is no need to insist on a certain price.

Lu Yanhe said, "If the movie Raise the Red Lantern is released this year, will you be unable to promote it?"

"It depends on when it's released. If it's in the second half of the year, I will definitely go to shoot Feng Yu's scenes, so I might have to take a leave, but I can only take a day or two at most, and I can't take more." Chen Bige said, "The first half of the year is relatively better. The schedule of Seventeenth Floor is easier to coordinate. For Feng Yu, basically all the scenes are on me."

Lu Yanhe understood and nodded.

"It's okay. If it doesn't work out, we won't do the promotion." Lu Yanhe said casually, "As long as it wins an award at the Xitul Film Festival."

Lu Yanhe is very confident this time that Raise the Red Lantern will be able to win an award at the Xitul Awards——

It really is a perfect combination of timing, location and people.

Chen Bige: "Are you going this time, Xitul?"

"Go ahead, ask for three days off from the crew, attend the premiere, and participate in some interviews." Lu Yanhe said, "But if Raise the Red Lantern and Rainy Season can't be screened for two consecutive days, I will have to give up the promotion of Raise the Red Lantern. This time, another movie of mine, Rainy Season, has also been shortlisted for the main competition unit. You know, that movie needs my presence even more."

Chen Bige: "You really are... You don't care about your own son, but you support others."

"Director Wang Zhong and you are there for my biological son. I am just a screenwriter, so my absence won't have much impact." Lu Yanhe said, "I won't attend the Tropical Rainy Season. To be honest, if it doesn't win an award, there may not be any media attention to this movie."

There is no famous director, no other famous actors, and no big company doing media public relations behind the scenes.

The only hot spot in "Tropical Rainy Season" is Lu Yan River.

Huang Tianlin was also very concerned about whether Lu Yanhe could attend the premiere and media promotion activities of "Tropical Rainy Season" in Xitul.

Fortunately, the Xitul official still hopes that Lu Yanhe can attend the activities of both movies at the same time——

Lu Yanhe has now received such attention in the world film scene that he has become one of the most popular movie stars at top international film festivals.

Because media from all over the world are paying attention to him, he is extremely famous and has great news value.

So, in the end, "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Tropical Rain Season" were scheduled to be screened two days apart, and Lu Yanhe only needed to ask the crew for one more day off.

Lu Yanhe actually sincerely hopes that "Raise the Red Lantern" can win the highest award at the Xitul Awards.

But whether or not you can win an award depends on the performance of the competing films in the same session.

Lu Yanhe is not so arrogant as to say that he can kill any god or Buddha he meets in the movie "Raise the Red Lantern".

Even Zhang Yimou himself would not be so arrogant.

He can only hope that there won't be any of those enchanting masterpieces in the main competition section of the Xitul this year.

If it's like "The Shawshank Redemption" meets "Forrest Gump", there's nothing we can do about it, it all depends on which one the judges like more.

As for "Tropical Rain Season", Lu Yanhe has not seen the finished film yet, and does not know what "Tropical Rain Season" will be like or what kind of results it will achieve.

Linghe has bought the distribution rights of "Tropical Rainy Season" in China.

Therefore, even from the perspective of practical interests, Lu Yanhe certainly hopes that "Tropical Rainy Season" will perform well.

Of course, being able to enter the main competition unit of Xitul is already a very good achievement.

For Lu Yanhe, this may not be such a strange thing.

But for Huang Tianlin, it means that as a film director, he has officially entered the vision of the world's top film festivals from a fledgling, highly regarded and talented director.

With such a resume, his next work will definitely be given priority attention by the four major international film festivals.

Lu Yanhe felt that he would be very happy if he could help a director like Huang Tianlin reach such a height. At the same time, this would also be a highlight in his resume as a filmmaker.
