Noise, .
However, after the media meeting of "River of Silence", Lu Yanhe's state also changed.
He truly came out of this turmoil.
Chen Ziyan noticed that he no longer worried about this matter in his heart. He truly learned what to give up and what to stick to, and no longer troubled himself.
Wang Biao said that after Lu Yanhe returned to the stage that day, the cheers and applause from the audience gave him tremendous support, allowing him to see with his own eyes that so many people supported him in this matter.
A person who has been surrounded by praise and flowers for the past few years, occasionally encounters a few people who scold him, and in his eyes, the world is only those people who scold him. This is the weakness of human nature. People are always easy to pay attention to those negative things that target him, and easily ignore those who support him and applaud him.
Almost all artists have to go through this.
Lu Yanhe experienced this situation again and again. The situation became more serious each time, but his mental state also became stronger each time.
After that, Lu Yanhe visited the filming of "Wulin Waijia", attended a special screening of "Road to Glory" for film critics, and a roadshow of "Road to Glory".
The list of nominations for the Asian Television Awards came out. Lu Yanhe was nominated for Best Actor for "The Seventeenth Floor" and was nominated for Best Screenwriter for "Friends". With two nominations, he dominated the list and created a wave of popularity.
So, in just a week or two, many netizens discovered that Lu Yanhe, who was being judged by many people like a witch from the old century a week or two ago, suddenly changed direction and became the model worker and the darling of the glittering awards that everyone was familiar with.
A few discordant voices complained that the Asian Television Awards was just a fake award, and a large number of people retorted that you can't even get a fake award.
There was also an account that danced very happily and had over ten thousand fans, and it was discovered that it was a fan of Li Yuefeng.
Less than an hour after the news was exposed, Li Yuefeng was ridiculed and became a hot topic.
He is also an actor in "Seventeenth Floor". Lu Yanhe was nominated for the Best Actor at the Asian Television Awards but was criticized as a fake award. Then what about him, an actor who also participated in the show but didn't even get nominated for a fake award?
Li Yuefeng was so angry when he saw that he was on the hot search because of this incident that he clenched his fists.
"What does this have to do with me!" He complained angrily, "Lu Yanhe's fans are really crazy. They scolded Lu Yanhe before, and now they scold me. Are they sick?"
His agent Wu Bai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back at Li Yuefeng and said, "Don't read those things on the Internet. They are all people who are becoming more and more radical. In real life, they dare not even fart."
Li Yuefeng frowned and said, "But is that person really my fan? Why would he go and scold Lu Yanhe? If Lu Yanhe is scolded just because of an award nomination, I might as well not go out."
The instigator, Wu Bai, looked out the window silently and said nothing.
"Who knows whose fans they are? Some fan leaders are wearing different masks now. They appear to be your fans, but when you dig deeper, you find out they are Lu Yanhe's fans. In fact, they may be Huang Kairen's fans." Wu Bai said, "Maybe it's a fan of one of your rivals who is deliberately provoking a fight. Otherwise, how could they be found to like you so easily?"
Li Yuefeng became even more annoyed when he heard this.
"Damn, he must be a fan of Liu Zefan."
Wu Bai: “…”
Now Li Yuefeng's biggest competitor is Liu Zefan. Therefore, there is a lot of competition between the two of them. The two teams are fighting openly and secretly, and the fans are also affected. Therefore, Li Yuefeng thought of Liu Zefan at the first time.
Li Yuefeng took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Yanhe, saying: Yanhe, the fan who laughed at you is not my real fan. I don’t know who is underneath the skin! Let’s not be provoked!
-
When Lu Yanhe saw the message sent by Li Yuefeng, he was a little surprised and even did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Just five minutes ago, Chen Ziyan told him that many people in the circle were involved in this incident and added fuel to the fire.
Among them, the most active one was Li Yuefeng's agent.
Lu Yanhe showed his phone to Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan took a look and said, "He... is really hard to say."
Lu Yanhe said: "Is he pretending?"
Chen Ziyan shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't. But it is a foregone conclusion that his agent is behind the scenes fanning the flames. I'll have less contact with him in the future."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Now more and more people are getting impatient and will come after you when they get a chance." Chen Ziyan said, "The road ahead will become increasingly difficult. You did a great job adjusting to your current state so quickly this time. You need to keep working hard in the future."
Lu Yanhe laughed.
"Got it. I'll try my best."
Chen Ziyan: "The person who sent you those photos with crosses on them has also been found."
"Ok?"
"He was the one who threw eggs at you that day." Chen Ziyan said, "He admitted it himself."
Lu Yanhe sighed, his tone was relaxed, and said: "He made it seem like I had done something unforgivable to him."
Chen Ziyan: "In his words, it is true."
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Ziyan to say that.
Chen Ziyan said: "We only discovered this time that he had been making money under the guise of a fan club."
"Making money?"
"Well, he raised money from many fans in the name of supporting you." Chen Ziyan shook her head. "He still secretly did things that we banned, and many fans were deceived by him. They really thought that even though we banned it on the surface, we actually needed them to do it, so they really raised money for him."
Lu Yanhe couldn't believe it and asked, "He is committing a crime, right?"
Chen Ziyan: "Yes, originally we couldn't do anything about him, but after checking, we found some problems. So do you know why he hates you so much? By disbanding the fan club, we've cut off their source of income."
Chen Ziyan's face was full of sarcasm.
Lu Yanhe also curled his lips.
disappointing.
-
Chen Ziyan did not hide this matter.
After the causes and consequences of some things were investigated clearly, she immediately made a statement on this series of "malicious fan incidents" and also made public for the first time the fact that Lu Yanhe had received a "threatening letter".
I didn’t make it public before because I was afraid that some fans would get emotional and follow my example.
Now that it is so public, it is specifically characterizing the "threatening letter" incident as "having ulterior motives and intentions."
——Don’t follow his example. This person is not trying to “admonish” Lu Yanhe. Instead, he is threatening Lu Yanhe in this way to express his anger because his financial resources have been cut off.
Chen Ziyan's statement mentioned many things that Lu Yanhe had encountered recently.
Some of them have never been made public before.
It was not until this time that everyone realized how many attacks Lu Yanhe had endured during this period.
-
"Lu Yanhe made it through. You see, the vicious public opinion that lasted for two or three weeks did not have any substantial impact on him. After he made it through, everyone now looks at Lu Yanhe's public opinion crisis and finds it unreasonable."
Li Xia was paying attention to the public opinion on the Internet while talking to Liu Zefan.
"I don't understand why so many people criticized Lu Yanhe for this incident before." Liu Zefan said bluntly.
Li Xia: "Some fans were too radical, and there were people behind the scenes fanning the flames, which led to the situation at that time."
"Even Lu Yanhe's case can be criticized," Liu Zefan said. "I don't understand."
Li Xia: "This is how the Internet age works, get used to it. Think about it, behind Lu Yanhe is Chen Ziyan. When it comes to public relations and public opinion handling, Chen Ziyan's ability and level are first-class. In this situation, facing the encirclement and suppression of various alliances, she can only temporarily avoid the edge and rely on time to get through it. You will inevitably face such a situation in the future. You really need to learn from Lu Yanhe how to adjust his mentality and speed."
Liu Zefan: "He is Lu Yanhe. I have the same achievements as him. What others say cannot affect me."
Li Xia laughed and said, "I hope you remember what I said today and keep your word."
Unless you have really experienced this, no matter what you say, it is all false. If you don't go to that moment in person and face those things in person, you can't really experience the pain and suffering of the two extremes of ice and fire.
At this moment, Li Xia's cell phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and looked at it, her brows frowned.
When Liu Zefan saw Li Xia's expression, his expression changed.
"What's wrong?" Liu Zefan asked.
Li Xia sighed and said, "Nothing, Meng Li had a conflict with someone again."
"Ah?" Liu Zefan frowned subconsciously when he heard the name Meng Li. In fact, Liu Zefan didn't like this woman who shared an agent with him.
His personality and way of doing things are so different from Mengli's, they are completely different.
Liu Zefan never understood why Li Xia brought Meng Li with her.
Of course, Meng Lihong is really popular. In fact, Meng Li has always been better than him in terms of popularity and traffic.
Li Xia said: "Meng Li ran into Ji Miao at an event and rolled his eyes at Ji Miao, which was captured on camera."
Liu Zefan: “…”
Li Xia: "Mengli has been a little emotional lately, so you should have less contact with her and don't let her hurt you by mistake."
"Yeah." Liu Zefan nodded.
-
Ji Miao is also innocent.
She still doesn't know why Mengli rolled his eyes at her.
"In addition to this movie, I heard that Liu Bige has another drama." Agent Yin Lufei said to Ji Miao, "Screenwriter Miao Yue, this is a script tailor-made for Lu Yanhe. You should perform well in this drama and strive to continue to work with Liu Bige in the next one."
Ji Miao knew how valuable this play was without Yin Lufei saying much.
The trio of Liu Bige, Miao Yue and Lu Yanhe won the Grand Prize at the Venice International Film Festival last time with their film "Late Spring".
There is no need to say whether the new play will reach the level of "Late Spring". Even if it does not, the experience of performing in this project is a steady journey to enhance one's resume.
A resume that the entire industry will recognize.
Ji Miao suddenly remembered something and said, "Sister Fei, what is the relationship between Li Zhibai and Lu Yanhe? Last time Lu Yanhe was at a media meeting, he was attacked by those black fans. Li Zhibai was just talking to me and Director Liu Bige about the script. He got really angry. I thought he was going to attack Lu Yanhe, but nothing happened. Was his previous loyalty to Lu Yanhe just an act?"
"How can I know? In this circle, who has a good relationship with whom and who has a bad relationship with whom cannot be judged by the information on the table." Yin Lufei said, "It doesn't matter. You just need to play your role well."
Ji Miao let out an "oh".
Yin Lufei suddenly thought of something and warned, "Li Zhibai is not a good person. When you act out a love scene with him, don't let your heart flutter and get carried away, okay?"
Ji Miao: "I won't. When he gets angry, he's like a tiger, very scary. I don't like men with such a bad temper."
Yin Lufei nodded with satisfaction.
-
Ziyuan Bridge.
Li Zhibai walked out of the room in slippers, scratched his fluffy, messy hair, and yawned again.
"What are we having for lunch?" Lu Yanhe was sitting on a lounge chair on the balcony reading a script. When he saw Li Zhibai get up, he asked.
Li Zhibai: "Whatever."
"Let's go out to eat?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Zhibai: "I don't want to move."
"Then I'll order takeout." Lu Yanhe said, "Would you like roast duck?"
"Whatever." Li Zhibai had just woken up and was not in the mood for eating. He yawned again.
It was twenty minutes later when Li Zhibai finally woke up.
"Why are you so tired?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Zhibai: "I've been practicing dancing these days."
"Are you still preparing for the 'Idol Era' program?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Zhibai nodded and said, "We have to record one episode every month."
Even Yan Liang reduced the frequency of his appearances on the show "Idol Era" due to filming, but Li Zhibai never left.
Even when he is filming, he will still participate in the recording of this show at least once a month.
Among the three of them, the one who truly loves the idol stage is Li Zhibai.
Lu Yanhe asked: "When will you record this episode?"
Li Zhibai said: "Five days later, after the recording is finished, I will be joining the crew to film."
Li Zhibai was talking about the romantic comedy movie directed by Liu Bige.
Lu Yanhe asked: "How long do you plan to shoot this movie?"
"The official shooting time is 35 days, with 10 days left as flexibility," Li Zhibai said. "It will be wrapped up in November."
“Where is the movie being filmed?”
"It's in Yuming." Li Zhibai said, "This is better. I can come back and sleep after work. I don't have to stay in a hotel."
Lu Yanhe: "That's good."
Li Zhibai asked, "What about you? Are you not scheduled to join the group later?"
"No, I'm waiting to continue filming the winter part of Love Letter at the end of the year." Lu Yanhe said, "I find that it's pretty good now. I used to shoot one drama after another, but now it's much easier. But next year will be a bit harder. Burning Fire will start filming in April and will take nearly three months. Then, next year we will also shoot the second season of Seventeenth Floor."
Li Zhibai: "One or two movies a year is enough."
In fact, truly top-notch actors usually only shoot one or two dramas a year. They don’t want to produce too much and they are very selective in choosing projects.
Lu Yanhe currently has "The River of Silence" on air. This drama is very popular and has good audience feedback. Even though it is only eight episodes, the one-month broadcast time has made "The River of Silence" rank among the top in various data.
In particular, its performance on the Maxine platform broke the best record for Chinese-language dramas and further strengthened everyone's impression of Lu Yanhe's "international influence".
"By the way, will there be a second season of River of Silence?" Li Zhibai asked curiously, "I really want to see a second season of this show. It's a good show and I've been following it."
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I haven't received any news from Director Chen yet. However, our drama has actually told the complete story. If we really want to shoot a second season, we may keep the role of Police Officer Zeng Qiao to start another case. I have already finished telling this case."
Li Zhibai: "You mean, maybe you won't be involved in the second season?"
"It's possible." Lu Yanhe nodded. "You can't force me to be a suspect again by adding a story."
Li Zhibai: “Not impossible.”
Lu Yanhe: "...But if we force the second season like this, it will fail. If the second season is shot this way, I will quit."
Li Zhibai: "I thought you would unconditionally agree to act in Director Chen's play."
"If it really unfolds like this, based on my understanding of Director Chen, she will also refuse unconditionally." Lu Yanhe smiled.
While they were chatting, Lu Yanhe's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
"This is weird. Director Chen called me." Lu Yanhe looked at the caller's name "Chen Lingling" on the phone screen and glanced at Li Zhibai in surprise. "You really have a good mouth. Whatever you say comes true."
Li Zhibai rolled a roast duck for himself, stuffed it into his mouth, and motioned him to answer the phone quickly.
Lu Yanhe wiped his hands and answered the phone.
"Hey, director."
Chen Lingling asked: "Yan He, are you free now?"
"Yes, what's the matter, Director?"
"Let me ask you, are you interested in writing the script for the second season of "River of Silence"? " Chen Lingling asked.
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Chen Lingling: "Let you and Zeng Qiao's characters return together and write a new script."
Lu Yanhe: "This... I'm confused, Director, I haven't thought about this at all."
Chen Lingling: "I have talked to several screenwriter teams, but I am not satisfied with their ideas. They are all nonsense. You are the lead actor and you understand screenwriting, so I think you may have some good ideas."
"I didn't." Lu Yanhe said without hesitation, "I never thought about continuing the story of "River of Silence" Season 2 before."
Chen Lingling: "Then you should think about it, Yan He."
Lu Yanhe did not refuse immediately. "I, I will think about it carefully, Director." Lu Yanhe said, "But I may not have a good idea."
Creation is not that easy.
Lu Yanhe himself knew better than that, when he was a screenwriter before, he was not really a screenwriter, he was just a plagiarist.
Does he really have the ability to create an original story? Or does he create a new story based on existing stories and characters?
Lu Yanhe resisted subconsciously, feeling that he couldn't handle it and wanted to refuse.
But, for some unknown reason, Lu Yanhe said he would think about it.
After hanging up the phone, he was still thinking about this matter. Seeing him like this, Li Zhibai asked, "What does Chen Lingling want to talk to you about?"
"Well, she asked me if I'd like to write the second season of River of Silence."
Li Zhibai was still chewing. When he heard Lu Yanhe say this, he widened his eyes in surprise and looked at him in astonishment.
"Ok?"
He swallowed it quickly and laughed.
"Then what do you do?"
Lu Yanhe said: "I don't know either."
"Do you write?"
"I said I don't know either." Lu Yanhe looked at Li Zhibai speechlessly.
"Where is the previous screenwriter?" Li Zhibai asked.
"I didn't ask in detail, but from what the director said, she has contacted several writing teams, and she doesn't agree with any of their ideas for the second season."
"That was the idea proposed by the screenwriter before, but Chen Lingling didn't like it." Li Zhibai hissed, "How cruel! We worked together on the first film, but now she doesn't like it?"
Lu Yanhe didn't know the specific situation and couldn't answer.
Li Zhibai said immediately, "Then you'd better not take this job. It's a thankless job. If it's good, it's because the other person wrote a good script in the first place, and you just took advantage of their reputation. If it's bad, it's because you don't have the ability. They have done a good job before, and you are just a poor imitation."
Lu Yanhe: "What you said makes a lot of sense. I'm speechless."
-
Chen Ziyan and Li Zhibai agree.
I also disagree with him taking on the script for the second season of "River of Silence".
"You have so many scripts that you haven't written yet, how can you find the time to take on a new script?" Chen Ziyan said, "It's someone else's copyright, someone else's play. I put profit first. There is no special benefit for you to take on this script."
Lu Yanhe weighed the pros and cons himself and felt that this was indeed the case.
So, a day later, Lu Yanhe called Chen Lingling back and formally declined the screenwriter job.
Chen Lingling seemed to have anticipated Lu Yanhe's refusal and did not try to persuade him further.
Lu Yanhe's reason for declining the offer was quite legitimate. He said that he had many projects in preparation and could not spare the time to work on the script for the second season of "River of Silence".
Lu Yanhe is well-known in the entertainment industry for being busy, so there is no need for further explanation.
Chen Lingling said: "Then I can only continue to look for a screenwriter."
Lu Yanhe suddenly remembered something and said, "Director, have you contacted Mr. Feng Qiyue, the screenwriter of The Seventeenth Floor? I worked with him on The Seventeenth Floor and also discussed with him. He might be able to provide some ideas for the second season of The River of Silence."
"I contacted him in July, but he didn't have the time," Chen Lingling said. "His schedule has been booked for two years."
The schedules of first-line screenwriters are even tighter than those of actors.
Because writing a script is different from acting, the time it takes to create it is many times longer.
Chen Lingling sighed and said, "Now all major platforms are doing suspense dramas. Screenwriters who can write this kind of subject matter have already been booked for several projects."
"The screenwriter teacher before "River of Silence" -"
"What he came up with wasn't good. I wanted to work with him to polish it up, but he had already taken on another big project and couldn't spare the time and energy. I didn't want to force it, because forcing won't produce anything good."
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, no wonder.
Li Zhibai’s guess was correct.
Chen Lingling just didn't like what the other party had to offer, so she started looking for other screenwriters.
"It's really hard to find a good idea for a suspense crime story." Chen Lingling sighed and prepared to hang up the phone.
Lu Yanhe was reminded by her words and suddenly remembered someone.
"Wait, Director Chen!"
"Ok?"
Lu Yanhe said, “If I just want a good story idea, maybe I can contact Mr. Liu Jiazhen.”
"Liujiazhen? Who is he?" Chen Lingling asked.
"I know a suspense novelist who wrote 'Nineteen Years of Crime Records' and 'Spiral of Silence.'" Lu Yanhe said, "He is a very good suspense novelist."
Chen Lingling hesitated for a moment and said, "Yan He, can you help me arrange a meeting with him?"
Lu Yanhe said, "No problem, Director, I'll contact him first, but I don't know if he's willing or not. I haven't told him about this yet."
"Well, okay." Chen Lingling said, "I'm not questioning his ability. I'm just used to meeting everyone I want to work with in person. If I don't meet them in person, I'm not sure if they are suitable for cooperation."
"Okay, Director, I understand." Lu Yanhe said, "I'm also afraid that he's not interested in film and television drama creation and will refuse it, so I told you in advance."
-
Lu Yanhe specifically made an appointment with Liu Jiazhen to have dinner together.
We haven't seen each other for a long time.
Liu Jiazhen has been preparing his new book.
"Brother Jiazhen, how have you been lately? How is the preparation for the new book going?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Liu Jiazhen shook his head in frustration, "I've written more than a dozen beginnings, but I just can't finish writing. I'm really stuck."
"Oh, sometimes I really want to rub your creativity. You write one script after another, which makes me jealous." Liu Jiazhen said, "If I had your strong creativity, I would have published two more books."
Lu Yanhe said, "My work is different. Scriptwriting and novel writing are two different things. Besides, suspense novels are difficult to write. The two novels you wrote have received very high reviews. I write a lot, but I write stories of different types. I don't repeat the same practice in the same dojo, so of course I'm much faster."
Liu Jiazhen asked with a smile: "Are you reminding me that I can find more topics to write about?"
Lu Yanhe said: "It depends on you. I don't have the confidence to give advice to a great writer."
He smiled and shrugged, saying, "You'll encounter bottlenecks in your creation. Just get through it. Brother Jiazhen, I'm inviting you to dinner this time because I want to ask your opinion on something."
Liu Jiazhen nodded, "You say."
Lu Yanhe: "First of all, I just think you are more suitable, so I asked. If you are not interested, just tell me directly. The drama "Silent River" that I am currently broadcasting is preparing for the second part. They want to continue to create the second part based on the first part with my and Zeng Qiao's roles. But Director Chen Lingling has now found several screenwriters and their teams to discuss, and they are not satisfied with the ideas they put forward, so I suddenly thought of you."
Liu Jiazhen understood when he heard this.
He said, “Let me write the second season of River of Silence?”
"It doesn't necessarily mean writing a specific script, it's mainly about intentional creativity. If I asked you to write a script, you definitely wouldn't do it, I know that." Lu Yanhe said, "You are the best writer of suspense crime stories among the people I know. I am particularly curious, if you were to write the sequel to the story of "River of Silence", what kind of story would you write?"
The reason why Lu Yanhe said that if Liu Jiazhen was asked to write the script, Liu Jiazhen would definitely not come is because Liu Jiazhen is now very successful as a novelist.
If you want to be a screenwriter, it will take at least a year to devote to it.
Writing a screenplay is completely different from writing a novel.
Writing a script is to serve the crew, and all kinds of people will come to give suggestions.
For a writer like Liu Jiazhen, there is no need and it is unlikely that he would spend so much time writing this script while he is working on a new book.
Lu Yanhe thought that perhaps Liujiazhen could come up with a good idea, a starting point, to give the screenwriters a divergent creative point.
In this regard, Liujia Town has always been a leader.
The settings of his two published novels have received extremely high praise.
Liu Jiazhen rubbed his face with a smile, "You overestimate me too much."
Lu Yanhe said, "Brother Jiazhen, this is a valuable opportunity for your creation. You previously wrote novels by yourself and collected materials and conceived them. But if you take on the script creation of the second season of "River of Silence", you can discuss with the director and a professional screenwriter team. This way of creation must be something you have never experienced before, right?"
Liu Jiazhen nodded hesitantly.
Novelists work alone.
Collecting materials, interviewing, finding materials, etc., every word has to be done by yourself.
But this is not the case for a screenwriter.
Except for a very small number of big-name screenwriters who write scripts alone (in fact, in most cases, this type of screenwriter also has his own assistants and team, they just don't sign their names), the screenwriters of each drama are a team.
Everyone divides the work and collaborates to create together.
The two have completely different creative modes.
"Anyway, you said you were stuck recently." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "You can consider another creative mode and change your thinking. Maybe it will bring new creative inspiration."
He first advised Liu Jiazhen, and then said: "But if you are really not interested, forget it."
Liu Jiazhen hesitated, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
Lu Yanhe knew that Liujia Town would certainly not be able to make this decision immediately.
He said, "Brother Jiazhen, you don't have to rush to make a decision. As long as you are not completely unwilling, you can think about it first. I will arrange for you to meet with Director Chen Lingling and have a chat. How about that? Director Chen also wants to meet with you to have a chat."
Liu Jiazhen nodded and said okay.
-
Being a middleman is not that easy.
But Lu Yanhe took the initiative to be the middleman because he believed it was a win-win cooperation.
Of course, the final decision was made by Chen Lingling and Liu Jiazhen themselves.
There was no way Lu Yanhe would interfere.
At this time, "River of Silence" also came to an end. The last episode was broadcast online, and the number of global viewers exceeded 500 million in one hour, which was a great achievement.
Maxine announced that a meet-and-greet session for the main creators of "River of Silence" will be held in seven countries including China, Japan and South Korea.
This move also indirectly shows how popular this drama is in Asia.
Suspense and crime dramas have always been evergreen, with some becoming huge hits every year.
This time, it’s finally a Chinese drama that becomes a hit.
Maxine's spokesperson also attributed the success of "River of Silence" to the fact that the show has the strongest production team in China and stars Lu Yanhe, China's most internationally famous actor.
The popularity of this drama is also reflected in the fact that Lu Yanhe even received business cooperation invitations from local brands in Japan and South Korea.
He was given the title of Asian spokesperson right from the start, and the endorsement fee was based on the market price of a first-tier superstar, without any discount, which fully recognized his commercial value.
However, Chen Ziyan refused them all.
Because it’s not a first-tier brand.
This rejection meant the loss of tens of millions of RMB in endorsement fees.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan did not hesitate at all.
When it comes to Lu Yanhe's business, Chen Ziyan is very cautious and is well-known in the circle for her strict control.
When Zeng Qiao announced four new endorsements, Lu Yanhe had not announced any yet.
This also makes some people confused and don't understand why.
The news that Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan refused to endorse two local Japanese and Korean brands was not disclosed to the public, which led to the current situation.
Some people in the industry attributed this to the fact that Lu Yanhe disbanded his fan club, which affected his commercial value in the eyes of brands.
After all, he has offended some die-hard fans, and no one knows how much commercial value he can still bring.
Chen Ziyan was too lazy to respond to such voices through public relations, but Lu Yanhe's fans had already summarized the situation of his endorsement brands and promoted the high quality of the brands endorsed by Lu Yanhe.
After Lu Yanhe’s fans summarized it this way, everyone realized that there are two key words in Lu Yanhe’s business endorsements, either high-end luxury, such as Math and Buxuer, or national popularity, such as the domestic sportswear brand "Shangjian", the stationery brand "Baixing", and the convenience store "Lanson".
Fans concluded that the reason why Lu Yanhe did not add a new endorsement after the broadcast of "River of Silence" is that Lu Yanhe already has many endorsements and their quality requirements are very high, so it is difficult to find a vacancy for a brand that can meet Lu Yanhe's requirements.
At this time, a domestic data statistics company specializing in business statistics mentioned one thing when summarizing the monthly report:
The country's top male actor (who has a hit drama airing this month) rejected seven brand endorsements this month. If he accepted all of them, the total endorsement fees would be nearly nine figures in RMB. Among the seven endorsement invitations, many were from overseas brands, and there were even local brands from other countries that have never used Chinese artists. However, this big shot rejected them all.
This news was noticed by people, screenshots were taken and posted online, and it was used by marketing accounts to increase the popularity of the topic.
There was almost no controversy, and netizens came to their own conclusion that the male protagonist of this news could only be Lu Yanhe.
No one else has reached this level.
Someone went to Chen Ziyan’s Weibo to ask if this news was true?
Chen Ziyan replied in a very Versailles way: The total amount of endorsement fees is not that exaggerated, but the fact is that the endorsement fees that Yan He has to refuse every month are quite high, and I'm used to it.
The rumor that Lu Yanhe has lost his commercial value in the eyes of brands was refuted by Chen Ziyan's Versailles speech.
-
Another representative work of Lu Yanhe made its debut.
His miracles continue.
There was a burst of amazement in the industry.
Everyone knows that no one can be successful all the time, and this is destined to be an industry with ups and downs.
However, before failure comes, no one dares to say with certainty that his next work will fail.
Just like "River of Silence", when it was a huge success, no matter who said sarcastically that the performance of this drama was just average, no one paid attention - yes, no one even bothered to pay attention.
A marketing account asked everyone’s question:
How long can Lu Yanhe's success last?
Guan Suchen, the most active entertainment critic in China with the largest number of fans, also posted a status, saying: So far, Lu Yanhe's effective broadcast rate is as high as 100%, and there has not been a single wasted scene, including guest appearances.
This amazing success rate is enough to make every actor jealous.

The National Day holiday is coming at this time.
"Road to Glory" will also continue to increase the number of preview screenings during the seven-day National Day holiday.
After nearly a month of small-scale previews, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival, "Road to Glory" basically only had a daily box office of around 2 to 3 yuan, but the attendance rate remained at an astonishing 50%.
After a month of fermentation, the audience's reputation for "Road to Glory" is slowly being released.
As for this movie, the media almost didn't know how to evaluate its performance at the box office.
Because, even though its attendance rate has remained at an astonishing 50%, however, it has been previewed for nearly a month, and except for the three days during the Mid-Autumn Festival when it achieved good box office results, the box office revenue for the rest of the time combined has not exceeded one million.
By this time, "Road to Glory" had almost lost its novelty to the media.
Almost all media have published reviews of this movie.
It has now announced that it will continue to increase the number of preview screenings during the National Day holiday, but its decision not to conduct large-scale screenings has caused many people to question this.
What exactly is Glory Road doing?
Having won the Best Film in the Horizon category, are you so willful?
Is it going to continue to be screened like this?
On the last day of September, the North American awards season suddenly kicked off.

Lu Yanhe is among the nominees for Best Supporting Actor.
At this moment, the customized promotional strategy of "Road to Glory" in China is officially launched! (End of this chapter)
