Chapter 276 Lu Qingzhen picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "This kid Lu Yanhe completely trusts you now." Chen Ziyan sighed, "Although I had expected this to be the case, I still feel a little helpless." "Ah? Helpless? Are you crazy?" Lu Qingzhen showed a bewildered expression. Sometimes, she really didn't understand what Chen Ziyan was thinking. Chen Ziyan said: "It's not like you don't know that I have always been reluctant to tie the interests of the artists I lead too deeply, lest it be difficult to untie them later." "Maybe everyone doesn't understand why you always part ways with the artists you brought up yourself." Lu Qingzhen said. Chen Ziyan: "They have grown to the point where they no longer need me, so why should I be tied to them? In fact, at their level, my role as an agent is no longer very big. You know clearly, In the current situation in our domestic entertainment industry, the top celebrities actually do not need an agent." Lu Qingzhen: "You are too absolute and too pessimistic about the role of agents." "I'm just telling a fact." Chen Ziyan said. Lu Qingzhen sighed, "You clearly know that if you are willing, they will be willing to make you a partner."
Lu Qingzhen: "...Oh, yes, I always forget this easily." "Zi Yan, according to you, since Lu Yanhe is so talented, can you all rely on yourselves from now on? Write, direct and act." Lu Qingzhen said with a smile. "With you watching over him, I don't think this will be a problem." Lu Qingzhen smiled, "Do you know that sometimes you give me the impression that you are your artist's mother? No matter what happens to your artist, you will do it If you handle everything with one hand and don't rely on others, it may be your job to take care of the child." "It's not bad, but Lu Yanhe has a big shortcoming." Chen Ziyan sighed, "His character is too black and white, friends are friends, enemies are enemies, likes are like, disgust is disgust, compared to Now, his little girlfriend Chen Siqi is more mature. If he still has this kind of character after graduation, he will inevitably encounter deception, betrayal or even frame-up." She paused, looked at Chen Ziyan again, and asked, "Then what are you going to do? You have already agreed to open a film production company with Lu Yanhe." Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes. Chen Ziyan said: "Jia Long said he would choose someone and come back to discuss with us if he is interested in someone." "This is nothing. I just need such an organization as a producer to facilitate the signing of the contract. Apart from me and Lu Yanhe, there will be no one in this company in the short term." Chen Ziyan said bluntly, "We are not planning to really do it. A film production company.” Chen Ziyan: "I was born with this character." Lu Qingzhen understood almost instantly who Chen Ziyan was talking about. But Li Yuefeng was like that, and Chen Ziyan didn't want to do anything about this argument, so as not to make the argument bigger and get Li Yuefeng and Lu Yanhe really involved. Lu Qingzhen nodded. "Nowadays, many actors direct and act on their own, especially comedians. Why doesn't Jia Long try it himself?" Lu Qingzhen said, "Don't he have his own comedy production company?" But if Jia Long is the director, the battle line of this movie seems to be stretched longer. It is not as fast as finding a director to make this movie. Experience can determine too many things. For a new director without experience , many things require exponential time to pay for. Li Yuefeng is a newcomer who emerged three years ago. He became popular last year with his role as the second male lead. At the end of the year, he starred in an ancient puppet show that became the most popular drama at that time. This is a drama with a modern campus theme, which is very topical. Because of this, he has won cooperation with many big names because of this drama. Then, a week ago, "Although Lu Yanhe is famous, Li Yuefeng is famous" appeared on the Internet. He is a real newcomer with outstanding performance" argument, saying that Lu Yanhe is famous again, but his popularity is too mixed. Sometimes he is famous by magazines, sometimes by film and television dramas, and sometimes by academic masters and people. Unlike Li Yuefeng, he works diligently. Good acting thing. Lu Qingzhen said: "Then if you decide to bring Jia Long together to make this movie, who will the director be looking for? Do you have a target candidate?" "Are you talking about Li Yuefeng?" When Chen Ziyan heard what Lu Qingzhen said, she looked at her in surprise at first, and then felt that this idea seemed not bad. "It depends on his circumstances. To enter the TOP sequence, he must have at least one or two blockbuster male-led dramas to be truly TOP." When Chen Ziyan said this, she didn't know what she thought of. She curled her lips and said, "Don't Like some TOPs, like Xu Hong, who dare to claim that they are the new king of the new generation."
Chen Ziyan looked at Lu Qingzhen, "You clearly know that the most important thing I lack is money." Lu Qingzhen: "But no matter what, this kid Lu Yanhe, I think he will enter the top ranking of mainland niche players in a few years." "It's quite shameless. You are already twenty-six or seven years old, and you are still comparing yourself to a nineteen-year-old young man." Lu Qingzhen said to the point. Twenty-six or seventeen years old is not considered old, but compared to nineteen years old, it is much older. "I heard that Li Yuefeng is negotiating to star in the second male lead in "True Way", do you know?" Lu Qingzhen asked Chen Ziyan. -
"Actually, Xiao Lu is quite suitable for the second male lead in "True Divergence." He Heng told Jiang Yuqian, "But he probably won't be able to make it in the schedule. I heard that he has a male lead drama and two movies coming up, and he has both signed contracts. .” Jiang Yuqian nodded and asked: "What's the matter with the two movies? Isn't there only one movie?" He Heng said: "I am writing a script for another one. The script hasn't come out yet, but the intention contract has been signed." "What kind of movie?" "They are all literary and artistic films." He Heng said, "Xiao Lu can only accept them at this stage. When he becomes more popular and starts to take on roles, Chen Ziyan will not let him accept them. The box office is not good for an actor. Said the impact was too great.” Jiang Yuqian nodded, thought of something, and said, "Can Li Yuefeng win the second male lead?" "At least he has been in several dramas in a row. If he is willing to play the second male lead, the producer should be very willing to ask him to do it." "Then you have to be careful. He is also the kind of person who always pulls others down." Jiang Yuqian said. He Heng nodded, "Understood." -
In mid-April, Lu Yanhe received another notice from the crew of "Phoenix Stage" and went back to reshoot two scenes. On the way back from the filming, Wang Xiao from the Youth Association called him. "Teacher Shi Xia is coming to our place to give a lecture. Yan He, do you want to come with me to pick him up?" Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up instantly. Chen Siqi has been trying various ways to get Teacher Shi Xia's new work and publish it on "Jump Up". It’s just that Teacher Shi Xia, as the top writer in the domestic pure literature circle, has extremely reduced the number of his creations in recent years. He has not published any new novels in five years, and only three or four short stories and essays a year. Articles have been divided up by the country's top pure literary magazines. Commercial literary magazines like "Jump Up" are simply difficult to obtain. Despite this, Chen Siqi never gave up. "Since we want to be the top commercial literary magazine, we must invite all the best writers covered in it." This is what Chen Siqi said at the time, "We can bring Teacher Shi Xia's new work to us The first release is equivalent to opening the door to other writers and teachers, and Teacher Shi Xia has such a high status." At that time, Lu Yanhe even joked: "We can only publish twelve issues of "Jump Up" a year. Can we accommodate so many writers and works?" Chen Siqi said: "We can only publish one issue a month now because the content that meets our standards is not enough and rich enough. If we have more and more manuscripts in the future and cannot even fit in twelve issues, of course we can make supplements , or even make a bimonthly magazine, and if that doesn’t work, we can even launch a second or third magazine, as long as there is good enough content and content that everyone is willing to buy and read.” Lu Yanhe knew that Chen Siqi had high hopes for "Jump Up", but he did not expect that her high hopes were so high. He was surprised. In such an era, can "Jump Up" still develop further while ensuring its own survival? This question only flashed through Lu Yanhe's mind for a second, and then he gave himself a definite answer. Don't think about whether you can do it or not, just do it first. Therefore, now that there was an opportunity to meet with Teacher Shi Xia, Lu Yanhe immediately agreed. "Thank you, senior, I'll go, when?" he asked Wang Xiao. "This Saturday." Wang Xiao said, "The lecture is on Saturday night."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe agreed immediately. -
As soon as Chen Siqi heard that Shi Xia was going to give a lecture in Zhenhua on Saturday, he immediately bought a ticket to fly to Yuming on Saturday morning. "I want to come over. Please help me make an appointment to enter your school." Chen Siqi said. Lu Yanhe had already guessed Chen Siqi's reaction and responded with a smile. "Teacher Shi is actually a very kind and interesting person." Lu Yanhe told Wang Xiao when he and Wang Xiao went to pick up Teacher Shi Xia on Saturday. Wang Xiao was surprised and asked, "Have you met Teacher Shi?" "Before, "Jump Up" did a review of Teacher Shi Xia's past works, and specially asked Teacher Shi Xia to write a paragraph of reflections." Lu Yanhe said. "Fortunately, I invited you to come." Wang Xiao said, "This time I didn't expect that Teacher Shi Xia would agree to come to our school to give a lecture. Although he has come a few times, this is still a publication that wants to reprint his previous works. He used to hold lectures and other activities, but now he rarely comes out." "We also asked him this question at the time. After all, he is one of the few great writers whose novels have sold more than 10 million copies." Lu Yanhe said, "Many people like him very much, especially some of his quotations, which are rare and can be found online. It was very popular, and Teacher Shi said at the time that he had been approached in many places over the past few years, all because of his popularity and fame, and not for real literature lectures, which he was too lazy to do." Wang Xiao nodded, "No wonder, when we contacted his publisher about the lecture, they made it very clear that the questions asked on the spot must be related to the work, and we cannot ask questions that have nothing to do with the work." The two of them arrived at the downstairs of Teacher Shi Xia's house. Today's car is an official car for the school through the Youth Association. It has seven seats. Teacher Shi Xia was accompanied by a publishing editor and one of his assistants on the bus together. "Hello, Teacher Shi, do you still remember me?" Lu Yanhe was the first to greet me warmly. "Remember, it's not like we haven't seen each other for several years. Didn't we just meet?" Shi Xia smiled. His hair has turned a lot whiter. However, he doesn't look old, he still looks middle-aged. Lu Yanhe only exchanged a few pleasantries and then shut up. He didn't want to be a noisy person who talked a lot. Wang Xiao also calmed down after saying hello to Shi Xia. When Lu Yanhe was with Wang Xiao, he rarely saw him being quiet and silent. His silence made Lu Yanhe a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable. On the contrary, at this time, Shi Xia suddenly smiled and teased: "Are you two young people more reserved when you see me, so you don't speak a word?" Wang Xiao immediately became amused and said, "How about I tell you a stand-up comedy?" "That's not necessary." Shi Xia smiled and shook his head, "Just don't be reserved. I'm most afraid of others feeling restrained because of me." "That's not possible. I'm a thick-skinned person." Wang Xiao said immediately, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do the job of the Youth Association." Lu Yanhe smiled brightly, "I'm thinking about how I can convince you to give your new work to the magazine "Jump Up"." "Are you still thinking about this idea?" Shi Xia did not avoid the question and joked with a smile. Lu Yanhe said: "Then all the magazines that publish novels in the country must be thinking about this idea. After all, you are Teacher Shi Xia." Shi Xia laughed twice, but didn't answer any more. "Xiao Lu, you should be studying at Zhenhua College of Literature now, right?" Shi Xia asked.
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded. Shi Xia nodded approvingly and said, "A serious subject." Lu Yanhe said: "I don't dare to boast so much outside. I'm too good at basic skills. Almost every time I finish a class, I have to go to the library to look up information. Otherwise, I don't know what the teachers are talking about in many places. Compared with the classmates around me who are hiding dragons and crouching tigers, I am embarrassed." "Then you are too humble. You dare to start a new magazine at this time and do it so well. You are awesome. We writers are all very concerned about your magazine." Shi Xia said, " I’ve read almost every issue.” Lu Yanhe immediately said: "It would be even more impressive if we could have the opportunity to publish Teacher Shi's new work." "Haha." Shi Xia laughed again, and then stopped answering. -
Looking at his face, many people actually think that Shi Xia has a particularly simple and honest character. But everyone who knows and is familiar with Shi Xia knows that his true personality is actually a bit childish, even a bit "old naughty" style. He does not have that kind of "respectable" demeanor, let alone putting on airs. The kind of "seriousness" often seen in many "old-timers" can rarely be seen in him. However, Shi Xia is not the kind of "old naughty boy" who often hangs out with young people. He does not pursue the so-called "youthful feeling", but rather self-consistently rejects the concept of maturity in the social sense. As a writer who has reached the top position in a practical sense, he does not regard himself as "successful and famous". He still writes and keeps writing. In the eyes of the outside world, his output speed has slowed down. In fact, , it’s not that he wrote less, but that he pursued higher standards. He didn’t write satisfactory works and easily refused to publish them. Shi Xia's manuscripts are hard to find in the magazine and publishing circles. Shi Xia has also passed the stage of being impressed by royalties. No matter how high the royalties are, they are just a drop in the ocean compared to the royalties from his tens of millions of sales. In his eyes, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi were just juniors. The emergence of "Jump Up" certainly surprised the magazine circle, but this was not enough reason for him to hand over his new work to two young people. (End of this chapter)
