"Then they took the initiative to come to me, and you didn't come to me, so I thought you were not interested, so of course I gave it to them."What Zheng Huairen didn't say was that before Bingyuan Video took action, Zheng Huairen and his team had never thought of adapting Lu Yanhe's movie script into a web drama script. This was mainly because Lu Yanhe had previously collaborated with Northern Lights Video on a series and directly provided the series script. There was no need to find a screenwriter to adapt it like Bingyuan Video did.
Zheng Huairen is a little anxious now.
Including this drama "The Call", Bingyuan Video and Lu Yanhe will collaborate on four dramas.
As an old company that has collaborated with Lu Yanhe on TV series, how can Northern Lights Video continue to watch it?
What made Zheng Huairen even more depressed was why Icefield Video was able to buy the adaptation rights of four dramas in one go?
Do they have so much liquidity?
What Zheng Huairen didn't know was that the copyright fee for Lu Yanhe's cooperation with Bingyuan Video was not expensive. It was basically only the price of first-tier IPs in the market, far from the price of those top IPs. In this way, Lu Yanhe gave up the high short-term licensing fee and got the right to share the subsequent revenue of the series.
This is different from his cooperation model with Northern Lights Video.
-
As licensing agreements were signed one after another, Linghe Film and Television, a shell company founded by Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan, actually earned tens of millions from the adaptation licensing business.
Because there is no legal department or accounting, these matters are handled by people from Chen Ziyan's senior brokerage service company.
Chen Ziyan was reading the agreements one by one, and she was shocked. She said to Lu Qingzhen, "Look, I always thought I made money fast enough, but compared with Yan He, I still can't compare. With the copyrights in his hands, it feels like he is lying on a mountain of gold."
These adaptation licensing agreements are not just for adaptation into TV series.
For example, "Rouge" has also authorized stage plays, audio dramas, and comics, while "Lost on Journey" has also authorized audio dramas and comics, and has also established business cooperation with a travel agency.
Chen Ziyan said: "Linghe really can't continue to operate as a shell company. At least, there must be someone who specializes in handling copyright issues."
Lu Qingzhen nodded and said, "That's true. Yan He's scripts are not only adapted in China, I see that TVN is also adapting them."
Chen Ziyan: "Yes, things that are difficult for others seem to become very easy for Lu Yanhe. Look at our Chinese-language TV series, how many of them can be picked up and adapted by foreign film and television companies in a year? As a result, when it comes to Yanhe, one after another."
Lu Qingzhen said: "It's just that I didn't expect Rouge to be so popular."
“There is actually a very important reason.”
"Ok?"
"It won an award at the Jose-La-Vie Film Festival, which is the only audience choice award among the four top international film festivals." Chen Ziyan said, "At first I thought Yan He was lucky, but then I watched the award-winning films at the Jose-La-Vie Film Festival in the past few years and found that they were actually quite popular with producers from all over the world. Not only were they competing for its distribution rights, but many companies were also competing for its adaptation rights."
Lu Qingzhen: "Do you approve of the Jose-La-Jacques Film Festival so much?"
"It's mainly the films that come out of the Jose-La-Jacques Film Festival that have good commercial results," Chen Ziyan said. "That's probably why they recognize them."
Lu Qingzhen said: "Zi Yan, have you ever considered that if Linghe unexpectedly blossoms in the film and television copyright operation, you can actually do more than just Yanhe's copyright? As you said, there are so many film and television dramas in our country, and there are more than a thousand every year. Because of Yanhe, a large number of partners have actively found us, why don't you also operate some excellent domestic film and television works or other IPs as agents?"
Chen Ziyan: "How can I have so much energy? I haven't even found anyone to do my own operations."
"Then go find him. Now we are not discussing whether to find this person or not. You have already decided to find him. Once you find him, you can do copyright management for Yan He alone, and you can also do more." Lu Qingzhen said, "In this way, think about how big a network you can build? Various film and television production companies, broadcasting platforms, domestic and foreign IP projects, these are all resources that you have control over. Then think about our high-level brokerage service company. Don't artists want the best quality services that can help them break through their careers?"
Lu Qingzhen's eyes sparkled.
In her vision, a huge empire has been established.
Chen Ziyan fell into deep thought.
In fact, what Lu Qingzhen said has already been vaguely reflected in Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe wrote Rouge for Chen Bige, and gave the male lead to Huang Kairen. He wrote Telephone for Jiang Yuqian, and gave the other female lead to Wang Jing. He wrote Squid Game for Jiang Jun...
The "huge organization" that Lu Qingzhen mentioned has already taken shape.
The box office success of "Lost on Journey" and the awards won by "Rouge" will make Lu Yanhe more and more popular in this industry in the future.
In other words, if she really sets up a "copyright operation" network, she can directly control the most first-hand resources as Lu Qingzhen said.
As an agent herself, she certainly knows how valuable such resources are to celebrity artists.
-
Shortly after the Feihong Award ceremony, the Lingyun Award nomination list was released.
Lu Yanhe received the same nomination as the Feihong Award.
This time, the nomination list for the Lingyun Award and the Feihong Award has the highest overlap rate in the past decade.
There are some differences, for example, "The Angry Crows" was not nominated for the Best Picture and Best Director awards, and was criticized by the media for the Lingyun Awards not looking down on animated films, and was ridiculed harshly.
For example, when the film "My Home" lost the Best Actress nomination, everyone was shocked. Xu Yiren's fans and fans of the film directly scolded the Lingyun Award to the top of the trending search. Xu Yiren had to grit her teeth and stand up to appease fans, saying that she didn't get the nomination this time, but she will continue to work hard next time.
The Lingyun Award's judging style is biased towards literary and artistic films. This time, the vacated spots were basically given to this type of film. Especially "Happy Time", Ning Xiulian's boyfriend, Gu Zhaodu, who starred in "Happy Time", was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor for this film, which also shocked many people.
He is the type that many people think "does not deserve to be nominated" because he is really just "selling sex" in the movie, without much acting content.
Someone sarcastically said: The Lingyun Award loves "Happy Time" so much. I guess if I just show up in it and say a few words, I can get a nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
There is a lot of noise on the Internet.
But Lu Yanhe didn't care about these at all.
He was busy finishing some things on the project "The Phone", and had to help Li Zhibai with the drama "Nineteen Years of Crime Records".
Many film and television companies are not unwilling to do it. With Li Zhibai as the producer and the leading actor, the gimmick is there, and it is not a high-risk project like a movie. Which film and television company would not want to do it?
But it is one thing to do, and it is another to get better terms. They all cited the failure of the movie version as an excuse to say that the risk was too great, and used this to lower Li Zhibai's price.
Li Zhibai had never encountered such a thing before.
When he was an actor, basically as long as he was willing to act, people would agree to any conditions.
Once he didn't want to act in a certain play, but the other party was pestering him, so Li Zhibai asked for a sky-high price, saying that he wanted a salary of million plus a share of the later broadcast dividends - this was an extremely unrealistic condition, but the other party gritted his teeth and agreed. Li Zhibai was scared to death, and quickly asked Lin Suyang to solve the problem.
Now, Li Zhibai had to argue with them about something that might only involve decimal points of millions of profit sharing.
"Business is business. In the end, that person gritted his teeth and was willing to give you million yuan in salary. It's not because he is stupid, but because he has calculated that even so, the money can be earned back. But now he is haggling with you about decimal points because for a film and television project, each decimal point may be only a few hundred thousand yuan at a small scale, or it may reach tens of millions at a large scale." Lu Yanhe said, "He was able to haggle with us for so long because he was sure of the project of " Years of Crime Records". Because of the failure of the movie version, everyone must have concerns and worries. This is normal for them to lower the price and give them a larger profit margin."
Li Zhibai said: "Alas."
"But there's nothing we can do about it. Every project has to go through this." Lu Yanhe said, "It's also quite interesting. I wasn't in charge of negotiating these things before, but I would watch from the sidelines. You can learn a lot by observing everyone's micro-expressions and language."
Li Zhibai: "I think I need to find a collaborator who can help me with these things. Now I finally understand why those big-name directors have a fixed producer."
"Artists also need logistics managers to help them solve worldly troubles." Lu Yanhe smiled.
"correct."
-
At night, eleven o'clock.
airport.
Chen Qin stood in the airport reception hall, waiting for Lin Yu to come out.
Lin Yu went to France to attend a film forum these two days. She was invited as the chief film critic of "Jump Up".
She now focuses almost entirely on film reviews.
She herself likes this kind of work content, and "Jump Up" and Lu Yanhe also need her to do this job.
Chen Qin waited for about fifteen minutes before Lin Yu came out.
When Linyu saw Chen Qin, a smile appeared on her face.
She hugged Chen Qin.
"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Lin Yu asked.
Chen Qin shook his head and said, "It won't be long. Let's go."
He took the suitcase from Lin Yu and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something before going back?"
Lin Yu said, "I'm not hungry, but the school curfew has passed, so I have to stay in a hotel tonight."
Chen Qin asked: "Then why don't you just go home?"
They are all Yuming people.
My home is in Yuming.
Lin Yu said, "It's too late. If I tell my parents that I'm going back today, they will definitely wait for me to go back before going to bed. I don't want to disturb them. Besides, I have classes tomorrow morning. If I go home, I will have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning. I still want to sleep a little longer, so I just booked a hotel near the school."
Chen Qin nodded.
"How's your graduation thesis going?" Lin Yu asked.
Chen Qin: "I have sent the first draft to the teacher, and I have an appointment to discuss it in his office next Monday."
Lin Yu: “I’m jealous.”
Chen Qin smiled and asked, "Are you going to France alone this time? Didn't you bring Li Bi with you?"
Previously, when Linyu went abroad, it was mostly for film festival activities, so she would team up with Li Bi.
Lin Yu: "This isn't a film festival, it's just a film forum. Li Bi won't have anything to do if he goes there."
"That's right." Chen Qin smiled.
Lin Yu asked, "By the way, have you made up your mind? Do you want to officially join "Jump Up"?"
In the past few years, Chen Qin has been helping "Jump Up" in an "informal" way, but he does not have a formal position in "Jump Up" like Lin Yu and others.
It's certainly not that Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi were unwilling to give him a formal position, but that Chen Qin himself hadn't thought it through.
He always felt that he would not join "Jump Up". Of course, there was another very important reason, Lin Yu was already in "Jump Up", and he thought it would be better for the two of them not to work in the same place.
Chen Qin said: "Actually, Yan He called me yesterday."
"Hmm?" Lin Yu asked, "He's looking for you?"
"Yes." Chen Qin nodded, "He invited me to join his company, not "Jump Up", but his film and television production company."
Lin Yu suddenly realized.
"Then what do you think?"
"I... this is certainly a good opportunity." Chen Qin said, "He told me that his company originally didn't plan to operate physically, but things have changed. Many of his projects are under this company, so he and his agent are going to recruit a few people from outside to run the company. He needs someone he can trust to join the company."
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Linghe is engaged in film and television production. It is now mainly the copyright holder of several films and scripts of Yanhe. It has a large number of copyright operation businesses. You studied law, so your major is considered to be suitable."
Chen Qin: "Yeah, I think so too. In fact, he also said that he wanted me to join, not that he wanted me to take on any business in the company right away."
"He doesn't want to be kept in the dark." Lin Yu said, "In the past few years, Yan He's career has developed rapidly, and his business territory has also expanded. This is even the result of his conscious suppression, otherwise the territory would be even larger. It's good for you to go there. It is almost foreseeable that the company will occupy an absolutely core position in Yan He's business territory in the future."
Chen Qin: "In fact, I am also confused. Why doesn't he find someone from your group 'Jump Up'? You have all been better than me after the training of 'Jump Up' in the past few years."
"How are we better than you? I am responsible for film reviews, which is actually a very small circle. Xu Zijun is basically the one who is in charge of the content of Jump Up magazine. Bai Yu, in addition to being an editor, also focuses on her own writing. There are only a few of us, and whoever goes there will start from scratch." Lin Yu said, "Besides, I don't think anyone would want to go there. Everyone is working in the field they like and are most interested in. The environment is good, so who would want to change?"
Chen Qin: “That’s right.”
Lin Yu gently leaned on Chen Qin's shoulder and said, "I'm a little sleepy."
Chen Qin adjusted his posture so that Lin Yu could lean on him more comfortably. "Then you can sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get there."
"Ah."
Lin Yu closed her eyes.
Chen Qin looked at the night and scenery passing by outside the car window.
In a blink of an eye, many years have passed.
I am about to graduate from college.
Chen Qin was very surprised when he received Lu Yanhe's call yesterday.
Although they were classmates at No. 13 Middle School, Chen Qin knew that unlike Linyu and Li Pengfei, he and Lu Yanhe were not that close. The reason they were able to keep in touch was because of Linyu.
But precisely because of this, Chen Qin's self-esteem prevented him from staying in "Jump Up".
Every time they needed his help, Chen Qin would definitely come to help, but once they asked him to stay, he would quickly refuse.
He gave all kinds of reasons, but he couldn't deceive himself about the real reason.
Lu Yanhe said to him very frankly: "Chen Qin, there are not many people around me that I can trust, and it's just you and your circle. If you are willing to help me, it will solve my urgent problem."
Chen Qin believed that if Lu Yanhe really needed help from anyone, everyone would be willing to help him. Chen Qin was very satisfied that Lu Yanhe's call was made to him instead of being relayed through Linyu.
This made Chen Qin feel that Lu Yanhe really needed him, and was not giving him a chance just because of Linyu.
People's self-esteem is sometimes really strange.
Of course Chen Qin also knew that his self-esteem was too sensitive. In the words of many social veterans, this was not a good thing.
He knew it was not good, but what could he do? He just had this bad personality, and it was not something he could change just because he wanted to.
When you walk into a group of people who are better and more outstanding than you, you want to remain neither humble nor arrogant. Can you do it?
Linghe Film and Television Production Company.
Chen Qin had always known about this company. In fact, he had thought about contacting Lu Yanhe and asking him if he needed him to do anything. Chen Qin just felt that he was too mediocre compared to his classmates, but he didn't belittle himself because of this. He felt that he was not good enough. After all, he had passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a famous university.
If he didn't go to Yanhe, he could also go to a law firm and walk a path that many people have walked and smoothed. But if they were all working, why couldn't he work for his classmates?
-
Linghe Film and Television Production Company has started recruiting.
As a shareholder of the company, Chen Ziyan personally interviewed candidates for CEO and met with five people.
Because it is not positioned as a regular film and television production company, they cannot recruit people in the same way as regular film and television production company CEOs.
"Generally speaking, at this level, one's ability and overall quality are beyond doubt. We have to look at this person's philosophy and see if his values match ours." Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe, "Among the five people, Xu Tianming has the best resume. He has experience as a senior executive at Longyan Pictures and Dengta Media, and has project experience. He understands the business. However, according to background checks, he has a tough style and a strong personality, so his relationship with colleagues has always been his weakness. His departure from Longyan Pictures and Dengta Media is basically related to interpersonal relationships and internal strife."
"Chen Yin is a good match in terms of both ability and personality. He is a cautious and conservative person. Linghe Film and Television is not in the stage of rapid development now. Both the funds and personnel are in the initial stage. If he were to do it, he would be suitable to build the basic structure of the company and lay a solid foundation. However, his shortcomings are also obvious. He has worked his way up through the administrative line and has no project experience. This does not quite match the positioning of Linghe."
Chen Ziyan introduced the situations of the five people to Lu Yanhe, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Lu Yanhe asked: "Sister Zi Yan, who is the best candidate in your mind?"
"You are the boss, you have the final say," said Chen Ziyan.
Lu Yanhe: "I am the boss, and you are the boss's agent. You have to provide advice to the boss."
Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe smiled secretly.
Chen Ziyan said: "Before I give my suggestion, I want to hear your thoughts."
Lu Yanhe felt that Chen Ziyan was testing him.
In fact, Chen Ziyan has always been like this. From the first day she became his manager, she was not the kind of manager who let the artist be a puppet and listen to her arrangements. She always consciously or unconsciously trained his own vision, thinking and ability, especially his judgment ability.
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "I will exclude Liu Zhiguang first. His past work experience is mainly in film and television production. He started out as a production assistant and has been on the crew for almost the past 20 years. He has no management experience in the company. We don't have a basic company structure here. If he comes, he doesn't have the experience and ability to build this structure for the company."
Chen Ziyan nodded.
"In my opinion, Li Jing is also a very unsuitable candidate." Lu Yanhe said, "In the past fifteen years, he has changed seven companies. Although his position has been getting higher and higher, and his experience and representative achievements are also outstanding, he is obviously a restless person who is looking for springboards everywhere. We are a small company that has just started, and there is not much room for him to gild his resume. His purpose in coming here is not simple. We have nothing here, just a name and a very single copyright resource. With his past work experience, what is he doing here? He is a person who likes to find media to promote himself everywhere. He came to us, probably to use these well-known copyright resources to continue to gild his resume, and then continue to pat his butt and leave after the gilding."
Chen Ziyan nodded again.
"Well, there are three people left--"
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, "In terms of personal ability and quality, I would prefer Xu Tianming. It is a huge project to build Linghe from scratch. If this person does not have the courage, ability, and sufficient experience, he cannot do it. As for his shortcomings and defects, they are actually not that bad. He is not good at handling relationships with colleagues... Linghe does not have any colleagues for him to handle relationships with now. The first thing he did when he came here was to help the company recruit people."
Chen Ziyan smiled.
Lu Yanhe asked: "Is my choice consistent with yours?"
Chen Ziyan said: "About 50%."
"Ah? 50%?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Chen Ziyan said, "Xu Tianming, you have made it very clear, but a man who rushes forward with great force also needs an adjutant who can do a good job of logistics and provide food and fodder. I want to talk to Chen Yin to see if I can let him cooperate with Xu Tianming and serve as Xu Tianming's deputy."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.
"People like Chen Yin are often overlooked. But his cautious and conservative character has enabled him to rise through the administrative ranks to senior management without any project experience or background, which is enough to show his ability." Chen Ziyan said, "It is difficult to build an empire, and it is also difficult to maintain it. Letting the two of them work together is the best choice I have seen so far."
Lu Yanhe was enlightened.
Chen Ziyan asked: "By the way, has your classmate agreed?"
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Chen Qin has agreed."
"OK, Xu Fanxing will also complete the handover this month and officially join Linghe." Chen Ziyan said, "It's not easy. A small shell company has to grow up with all the effort."
Lu Yanhe smiled at Chen Ziyan.
“I would never have dreamed of it.”
-
"Sister Zi Yan, this is to send Xu Fanxing here specially, because Linghe is your company, so, although she said that she and you each arranged a person from your own to join the company, in fact, the person she arranged is also your acquaintance, and is Zijun's sister."
Chen Siqi smiled at Lu Yanhe.
"Sister Zi Yan does things flawlessly."
Lu Yanhe sighed, "I hope she doesn't have to be so distant with me. If I treated her as an outsider, I wouldn't have given her 20% of the shares in the first place."
"At that time, no one thought that this company would generate such high value because of these copyright operations. In the eyes of Sister Zi Yan, she just picked up a big bargain. Do you think that with Sister Zi Yan's personality, she would allow herself to take such a big advantage of you?"
"Then her senior brokerage service company also gave me shares."
"You invested money to buy shares." Chen Siqi, "The nature is different."
Lu Yanhe: "Why do we have to make such a clear distinction?"
"The people who truly love and care about you are the ones who don't want to take advantage of you and are clear about what they are doing with you," Chen Siqi said. "But there are also some people who won't be so clear about what they are doing with you at critical moments."
Lu Yanhe laughed.
"I have to buy the copyright for this sentence of yours and write it into the script," he said.
Chen Siqi: "Okay, just treat me to an ice cream and I'll give you the authorization."
"It's already November, and you're still eating ice cream?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.
Chen Siqi: "It's okay to eat one occasionally."
Lu Yanhe: "You will have a stomachache again by then."
Chen Siqi: "No way...but what should I do if I just want to eat ice cream now?"
Lu Yanhe: "Then buy a small ball, it should be okay to eat a little."
Chen Siqi laughed.
……
About five meters away from the two of them, Wang Biao, Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang were following Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi.
"If Chen Siqi comes, we shouldn't get too close. Brother Lu spends almost all his time at work. As for his life, you guys didn't catch up with his classes. Now that school is over, he basically doesn't have to go back to school. So, his life is basically filled with his friends Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, Li Pengfei, and his girlfriend Chen Siqi."
"These people are the closest and most trusted people in Xiao Lu's life. It's hard for them to see each other normally. When we can meet, we have to try our best to let them enjoy a space without being disturbed. So, at this time, we should not appear in their sight if we can."
While Wang Biao was explaining this to Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang, he said, "You two are both top students who graduated from prestigious universities, but the job of an assistant basically means helping your employer solve any problems. I don't know if you two will feel that there is a big gap."
Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang immediately shook their heads.
"Anyway, if you can't get used to it, go tell Sister Zi Yan and see what arrangements she makes. I'll just follow her instructions." Wang Biao said, "But one thing is, whether you are used to it or not is up to you, and whether you want to stay or not is also up to you, but don't force yourself to do it while feeling uncomfortable in your heart, which will cause problems at work and affect Brother Lu."
Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang nodded.
"You are all older than me, so you must understand the principle of being responsible for what you do better than I do." Wang Biao finally said with a smile, "If I make a mess, Brother Lu will help me clean up the mess, but you just got here, if you make a mess, Brother Lu may not help you clean up the mess."
Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang: "..."
"Of course, if you two work hard, Brother Lu won't treat you unfairly. You've been with him for so long, you should have your own judgment of what kind of person Brother Lu is." After Wang Biao finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and said, "But don't fool around just because he's nice. I'll be frank with you, if I find out that you're fooling around, I'll report you to Sister Zi Yan. Forget about other things, I won't allow you to influence Brother Lu."
"will not."
"We won't."
Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang both have big heads.
For a "senior" like Wang Biao, Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang really spent a lot of effort to adjust their mindset.
A "senior" who is about to turn 18 but not yet fully 18, as Lu Yanhe's first assistant, is not the kind of gentle and easy to deal with. However, you can't say that he deliberately makes things difficult for him, but that's not the case.
In terms of his work ability, Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang felt that he was "well-informed". It was not that he was very capable, but that he knew everything and knew all the ways. He had a good idea of how to solve any problem. This was a trait that was rarely seen in people of his age.
But on the other hand, he often said some childish words and did some childish actions, which made Wan Qingqing and Song Jiang laugh and cry.
-
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi went to see the latest movie "Star Destiny", a biographical film starring Yu Mengling.
In November, which is a less popular time slot, a large number of films competing in the market are those nominated and awarded by the Feihong Awards.
Movies that had achieved very good box office results, such as "The Angry Crows", "My Home, I Have Not Returned For A Long Time", "Nine Yins" and "Rouge", were also re-screened in theaters after winning awards. After two days of box office revenue of millions, the daily box office dropped directly to six figures.
Films like "The Seventh Chapter of a Floating Life" and "The Abyss" now only have box office revenues of tens of thousands of yuan per day.
However, probably because "Happy Time" has not yet been released on video websites, the box office of this movie has reached millions of dollars a day for several days after the results of the Feihong Awards came out.
"Road to Glory" has persisted in its preview route, and because of the popularity of the Feihong Awards, its average number of viewers has increased slightly.
"Star Fate" is a rare new film.
Because Yu Mengling starred in the drama, it attracted a lot of attention.
Lu Yanhe watched the movie with Chen Siqi. As soon as they walked out of the cinema, Chen Siqi whispered, "It's such a mediocre movie."
"Yeah, it's a pity for Yu Mengling's acting skills. Her performance is what impressed me most in the whole film."
Chen Siqi said: "It seems that Yu Mengling has never acted in a particularly popular movie."
"She has always been very focused on acting in serious movies," said Lu Yanhe.
The movie "Fusang", for which Yu Mengling won the Best Actress award, was also an art film.
"However, she has rarely played supporting roles. I have read her resume and she played the leading role in her first movie."
"I heard that she comes from a well-off family. When she wanted to be an actress, her family found many friends, which made her life smooth after graduation." Chen Siqi said, "Because she has only starred in low-budget art films, her popularity has not been high, but the industry seems to recognize her."
Lu Yanhe suddenly remembered what he had said to Wang Jing about the "different paths".
Everyone chose a path to follow.
Yu Mengling chose to stick to his own standards.
It's actually quite good.
Different roads lead to the same destination, it just depends on whether you can reach the end.
"It seems like we were photographed just now." Chen Siqi suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Lu Yanhe asked, "Where?"
"The black car across the street." Chen Siqi said.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Let them take pictures as they please."
This is the advantage of being open, there is no need to hide anything, you can take pictures if you want.
Chen Siqi sighed: "Well, it's a bit of a pity."
"What's a pity?"
"Our 'power accumulation plan' has failed." said Chen Siqi.
After several months of vigorous efforts in their director selection program, they had to reluctantly admit the fact that, apart from the two recommended candidates from Northern Lights Video, they did not discover any truly talented and potential directors in this event.
No short film met their standards.
"It's okay. If you fail, you fail. There will always be failures." Lu Yanhe comforted Chen Siqi, "Then we should still honor the reward we promised in the end, right?"
"Well, I'll deliver on my promise." Chen Siqi said, "I can't be a person who goes back on his word just because I don't like him."
The failure of the "power accumulation plan" made Lu Yanhe a little sad. However, failure is the norm and success is accidental. It is an incredible miracle that he can succeed so many times.
-
This time Chen Siqi will only be back for two days.
Lu Yanhe sent Chen Siqi to the airport before asking, "After we finish filming Love Letter, can we consider going to look at houses?"
Chen Siqi was stunned. "What house?"
"Well... aren't you going to move the editorial office of Jump Up to Yuming later? Since you're going to be based in Yuming permanently, why don't we rent a house together?"
Neither of them has paid enough years of social security, so they cannot buy a house and can only rent one.
Lu Yanhe has always remembered this incident.
Chen Siqi finally reacted after hearing what Lu Yanhe said, "Oh, sure, then we'll go and have a look together."
Lu Yanhe scratched his head and asked, "Would you like to live with me?"
"I am willing to do so." Chen Siqi said, "It's just that you said it so suddenly that I was a little surprised. However, I plan to buy a house for our "Jump Up" editorial office in Lingyang District. It takes an hour and a half to drive to the city center one way, and I will definitely spend most of my time there."
In order to save rent, Chen Siqi bought a house in Lingyang District to be used as the office location for "Jump Up". Since she couldn't afford to buy a house in the city center, she bought one in Lingyang District where the average price was only .
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I know, but you must always come to the city to do business, and you still have to go back and forth frequently. It will be much more convenient for you to rent a house here."
"Well, then you won't live with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang?" Chen Siqi asked curiously, "I've always had a feeling that the three of you will live together forever."
Lu Yanhe said, "Actually, I have something else I want to discuss with you. If there is a suitable house in Ziyuan Bridge, how about we just rent it there?"
Chen Siqi was stunned.
"We actually live quite comfortably in Ziyuanqiao. This is a university town. Although the rent is expensive, it is very convenient in every way," said Lu Yanhe. "Especially when we want to eat late at night, we can always find a restaurant no matter how late it is."
Chen Siqi nodded, smiled, and said, "Sure, I can do anything."
She asked, "However, the three of you will graduate next June, and no one will go to graduate school. Are you still planning to continue living in Ziyuan Bridge?"
"The three of us have lived here for several years and have a good relationship with our neighbors. In addition, privacy is our top priority for our work. It's rare to have a place like this. We have lived here for several years and have never had any of these problems," said Lu Yanhe. "If we move to another place, we will have to adapt all over again."
Chen Siqi: "Then why don't you just buy a house in Ziyuan Bridge and live in one place until you retire."
Lu Yanhe: "That's fine."
Chen Siqi glanced at Lu Yanhe and shook her head.
It doesn't mean a rejection, but rather a feeling of "I'll just say it."
