"It's really Versailles. Only Lu Yanhe can be so Versailles. Who wouldn't be criticized by someone else?" Huang Kairen laughed. "He has such crazy capital, and what he said is true." Zheng Huairen of Northern Lights Video sat opposite Huang Kairen, "But of course you also have the capital to say that." Huang Kairen immediately waved his hand, "I'll forget it. I'm self-aware and my blood is not as thick as his." Zheng Huairen smiled. "The drama "Wulin Gaiden" will further consolidate your nationality." Huang Kairen said: "I didn't expect that Yan He didn't leave a role for himself." Zheng Huairen: "We also asked this question, and he said that firstly, there is no suitable role, and secondly, it is not necessary." "no need?" "He said that this script is very good. As long as he finds the right actor, anyone who plays it can be popular." After Zheng Huairen finished speaking, he smiled and shrugged, "This sounds crazy enough, but again, he has the madness Capital." Huang Kairen said: "I read the scripts of the previous episodes and they are indeed well written and the characters are very distinct."
"Yes, after the script came over, we immediately decided that it was a script that could be developed into an S+-level drama, and we approved a high budget. However, Yan He didn't feel that such a large budget was needed." Zheng Huairen laughed. Laughing, "After so many years of acting, this is the first time I've encountered someone saying that I don't have enough money to spend, so I don't need so much money." Huang Kairen: "Yan He has a pure heart. When I cooperate with him and interact with him, he gives me this impression. His quality is commendable." "Indeed." Zheng Huairen nodded, "But sometimes I also give him a headache. For example, in your role, he always thought you were too handsome at first and didn't fit the character's image, so he didn't want you to play it." Huang Kairen was stunned. "is it?" "Yeah." Zheng Huairen nodded, "If we want to restore the character's perspective in the script one to one, then indeed you may be much more handsome than Bai Zhantang in the script, and you have too much of a star look. However, we always have to face-to-face when filming. Not to mention many practical problems, I believe that your acting skills will definitely make up for these regrets." Huang Kairen said: "Yan He had a movie before that was very suitable for me and wanted me to act in it. I hesitated for a long time and still refused." "Oh? Is there such a thing?" "He is a person who will make decisions based on whether you are suitable for the role." Huang Kairen said, "He felt that I was not suitable for Bai Zhantang at first, which must have made sense." Zheng Huairen nodded. "Actually, we have been in this business for a long time and we know that there is no role that only one actor can play. But many roles have become classics and have filters. In the minds of the audience, they can no longer be replaced. That’s all.” Zheng Huairen said, “The role of Bai Zhantang belongs to you.” "I will let Yan He see that there will be no problem for me to play this role." Huang Kairen said, "Mr. Zheng, thank you for insisting on casting me. I have great expectations for the drama "Wulin Gaiden" I have great expectations and I believe we will definitely be able to create a classic work.” Zheng Huairen nodded and said, "I believe it will be possible." - Two hours later, Xin Zixing walked into the hotel wearing sunglasses. At the door of Huang Kairen's room, he turned around and looked around to make sure there was no one else before knocking on the door. Huang Kairen opened the door from the inside. Xin Zixing entered the room and took off his sunglasses. "Every time I come here, it's like filming a spy movie." Xin Zixing complained. Huang Kairen hugged Xin Zixin from behind, smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Huang Kairen told Xin Zixin about his conversation with Zheng Huairen. Xin Zixing curled his lips and said: "He is thinking about Sima Zhao. Why bother? He is trying to sow a relationship between you and Lu Yanhe so that you can remember your love for starring in "Wulin Gaiden" on them."
Huang Kairen lowered his head and smiled, "They have other dramas they want me to act in later." "What drama?" "An ancient puppet." Huang Kairen said, "The main purpose is to help them bring in new people." "It's a human drama." Xin Zixing asked, "Did you agree?" "I said read the script first." Huang Kairen smiled, "I have been acting in dramas for the past two years, and I am also thinking about whether to take on another drama for fans." "You can think about it, but you still have to read the script. Don't let the thunder roll down and ruin the reputation you have accumulated over the past two years." "Yes." Huang Kairen nodded, "I finally rejected "Rouge Button" before, and Yan He may have some opinions on me." "Then you are overthinking. Yan He is not that kind of person. He wanted you to act in this drama before because he really thought you were suitable. If you don't act, you will naturally have your considerations. He is also an actor himself. He knows whether to cooperate or not. It’s just a matter of a sentence or two.” Xin Zixing said, “Besides, aren’t you going to star in “Wulin Gaiden” again soon? He is also one of the screenwriters and producers of this drama, and we are also cooperating.” Huang Kairen hugged Xin Zixing, a little jealous, and asked: "Why do you always have such good comments about him from your mouth? Doesn't he have any shortcomings at all?" "The main reason is that I have interacted with all kinds of people in your entertainment industry. There are too many weird people. Meeting someone as talented as Yan He is like meeting a rare treasure." Xin Zixing said, "You don't even know how many weirdos there are in your entertainment industry." "No need for map cannons. There are no weirdos in any industry or circle. Am I the weirdo?" Huang Kairen hugged Xin Zixin, kissed her on the side of the cheek, and asked with a smile. Xin Zixing calmly pushed him away and said, "You still have the nerve to say it." Huang Kairen was stunned, looked at her with confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?" Xin Zixing said: "How long are we going to have this secret love affair? It's like an underground war." Huang Kairen suddenly realized, with a helpless smile on his face. "I said, as long as you want to make it public, we will make it public at any time." He said, "Before, my agent was worried that if I announced my relationship, it would affect my career, but in the past two years, my situation has stabilized and it has not had much impact. ” "Then let's make it public." Xin Zixing said. Huang Kairen was stunned. Xin Zixing said: "I don't want to be sneaky like this anymore. Now the two of us are getting busier and busier at work. If I have to hide from others guiltily every time we meet, my already tiring life will make me feel even more tired." ” "Zixing, have you been a little tired recently?" Huang Kairen stepped forward, grabbed Xin Zixin's arm with both hands, and said, "I see that your condition is not very good." "I'm very tired, but that's not why I'm in a bad state. I'm just thinking, why is it that Lu Yanhe, a young female artist with so many fans, can openly reveal his relationship openly, but you can't?" Xin Zixing spread her hands, " I'm not complaining to you, I'm telling you seriously, Huang Kairen, let's make it public. If you don't want to, we can seriously discuss how our relationship will develop. " Huang Kairen was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Xin Zixing would suddenly have an attack on this matter today. Every time when this issue came up before, Xin Zixing actually just wanted his attitude, but today she seemed to have made up her mind. Huang Kairen fell into hesitation and entanglement, "Zixing, my situation is different from that of Lu Yanhe. There is no problem if you want to make it public. However, give me some time and I will discuss it with my agent to see how to make it public." It’s most appropriate and can minimize the impact, okay?” Xin Zixing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Huang Kairen said. Not bad, not bad, at least the situation was much better than the worst case scenario she had preset. At least Huang Kairen did not refuse or avoid this issue. "Okay, three months is enough?" Xin Zixing looked at Huang Kairen with a straight look, "No matter what kind of things you have to deal with, these three months should be enough, right?"
"Okay." Huang Kairen nodded. - Late at night, lights out. Xin Zixing was already asleep, lying next to Huang Kairen, breathing evenly. Huang Kairen looked helplessly at Xin Zixing's face, who was so close. In fact, after being together with Xin Zixing for so long, Huang Kairen had already regarded Xin Zixing as the love of his life who he would marry in the future. It's just that these few years happened to be the most critical years for his career development. His popularity has reached its peak, but his acting career is undergoing transformation. Starting from "The Golden Age", two consecutive dramas made him feel less anxious and knew that he was still capable of going further. An actor, especially a male actor, at this time, must know whether he has the ability to support more complex and rich characters. Huang Kairen also thought about when to disclose the news to Xin Zixing. It's just that the attitude of the agent and the company has never been supportive, and he can't ignore the thoughts of the company and the agent. But he himself felt that if Xin Zixing cared about this matter so much, then if he had the ability to do it, he should not find any excuses to escape. How much impact would going public have on his career? Huang Kairen was confused. In fact, Xin Zixing said something that slightly touched his heart today. Xin Zixing asked him: "Why can Lu Yanhe, a young female artist with so many fans, openly reveal his relationship openly, but you can't?" Huang Kairen wants to say that because of Lu Yanhe, he doesn't have to rely on fans. His strongest fans are not young people, but passers-by who like him because of his college entrance examination scores and Zhenhua University students. His greatest confidence is not His achievement as an actor is his resume as a key figure in a blockbuster movie like "Six". But when these words came out, they all seemed like excuses. So Huang Kairen didn't say a word. He knew that Xin Zixing had already suffered a lot of grievances because of this incident, and he could no longer use his own embarrassment to make her continue to suffer. - "It's actually true?!" Lu Yanhe opened his eyes wide and looked at Huang Kairen in disbelief. Huang Kairen was surprised and asked, "Have you known this for a long time?" On this day, Huang Kairen asked Lu Yanhe out just to talk about this matter, but Lu Yanhe's reaction was beyond Huang Kairen's expectation. Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "I guessed a little bit before, mainly because I met you and Sister Zi Xing in the same place several times. Later, Siqi and I met you two together. Your reaction made us It all feels a bit...well, it doesn’t seem like a working relationship.” Huang Kairen lowered his head and smiled and said, "So that's it. I thought we both did a pretty good job of keeping it secret." Lu Yanhe said: "You two have indeed done a good job in keeping secrets. I can find out that it is purely a coincidence." Huang Kairen smiled and sighed, and chatted with Lu Yanhe about his problems. "I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, and you're the only one I can talk to." He told Lu Yanhe about the problems he encountered, "Zixing wants to make it public. I also feel that we have been together for a long time. If It’s not fair to her that I keep it secret because of my work.” Lu Yanhe said: "Siqi and I were so secretive for a long time before we made it public. It was really inconvenient. We were afraid of someone filming us wherever we went." "Then we've been hiding it for much longer than you." "Brother Huang, what are you hesitating about?"
"It's not hesitation, I have already thought about it clearly. No matter how big the impact is, I have to give an explanation to Zixing." Huang Kairen said, "I just want to ask you, when you decided to make it public, weren't you worried? " "worry about what?" "It affects your work." Huang Kairen said, "After all, in our industry, things like love will more or less affect the fans' view of us." "Yeah, I'm worried." Lu Yanhe nodded and admitted, "But I think it's good to make it public now, because I feel that I have been mainly studying in the past few years and have never thought about filming. Even if it has an impact , the impact was not big. I had already started writing scripts at that time, so the psychological burden was not that big. " Huang Kairen said: "Then are you worried...that your fans won't like your girlfriend?" "Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned. Huang Kairen sighed, "On the one hand, my agency does not want me to make it public. They want to maintain the status quo. On the other hand, many artists will face trials from many people and even detective-like investigations once their relationships are made public. Many things that could have been trivialized were magnified infinitely and died in the light. I wasn't so worried about anything else. I was worried about other people picking on Zi Xing and magnifying her shortcomings. A public figure, unlike us, has been trained to face public criticism since her debut. Once she becomes public, she will face a completely different world. " "You always have to face it." Lu Yanhe didn't hesitate at all, "Brother Huang, unless you withdraw from the circle, as long as you want to be with Sister Zi Xing, you can't never keep it public, then she will always have to face the world , sooner or later." Huang Kairen was stunned. Lu Yanhe said: "Besides, Brother Huang, I don't think you should underestimate Sister Zi Xing. She is one of the most awesome women I have ever seen." Huang Kairen didn't expect that Lu Yanhe would comment on Xin Zixing like this, which made him laugh. Lu Yanhe said: "Brother Huang, don't think I'm telling lies. When Sister Ziyan and I reviewed the story, we both said that if it hadn't been for the documentary column of "City Travel" made by Sister Zixin, I would have It was impossible to gain such a large base of fans at the beginning. My popularity was gained through the college entrance examination, but my first batch of fans were actually accumulated through live broadcasts, "City Travels" and other things in those few months. Especially those who think that I am a somewhat artistic star. Although I don’t think so myself, in the eyes of many people, Sister Zi ” Huang Kairen listened to Lu Yanhe's words and nodded thoughtfully. "Actually, Brother Huang, Sister Zi A little bit can provide you with a little more help.” "Ok, I know." Lu Yanhe said: "She has been with you for so long, and she doesn't know anything about the entertainment industry. I believe Sister Zi Xing must have been mentally prepared for your situation." "I'm relieved to hear you say that." Huang Kairen looked at Lu Yanhe seriously, "Thank you." He added: "Sorry, although you left me the male lead in "Rouge Button", I finally decided not to act." Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "It's okay, Brother Huang, we will have other opportunities to cooperate again in the future, like "Wulin Gaiden"." Huang Kairen nodded. "I have finished reading the script, and I will go all out to play the role of Bai Zhantang well. Don't worry, I will definitely live up to this good script you wrote." Lu Yanhe laughed and nodded, "Brother Huang, apart from the fact that you are so handsome, I have never worried about your other problems." Huang Kairen asked: "Can you act?" Lu Yanhe said: "I should play a role in one of the units." "I heard that you will join the group next month?" "Yes, the new play "River of Silence" directed by Chen Lingling." "Will you act with Zeng Qiao?" "Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Huang Kairen said: "I have also seen the script of this play, and I went to fight with the director at that time, but the director said that Zeng Qiao had already been cast, which was a pity, otherwise we would have been able to play opposite each other this time. " "There will be other opportunities in the future, Brother Huang." Lu Yanhe smiled at him, "Didn't I promise you? There will definitely be a movie in which the two of us work together." "Okay, then I'll wait for your script to come out." Huang Kairen said with a smile. - After Lu Yanhe finished chatting with Huang Kairen, he followed Chen Siqi, who had returned from Jiang Guang, to have dinner at a newly opened French restaurant. Chen Siqi saw a recommendation about this restaurant on the public account. She wanted to try it, check in, and then write a review on the popular food recommendation account. Lu Yanhe told Chen Siqi about Huang Kairen and Xin Zixin. Chen Siqi's eyes also lit up, "Sure enough, I'll just say it." Lu Yanhe asked: "Do any of my fans usually come to scold you?" "Not many, there are a few, and I can cope with it. Anyway, when I have nothing to do and I'm in a bad mood, I can vent my emotions with them." Chen Siqi said nonchalantly, "You're okay, you My girlfriend has fewer fans and is not that aggressive. You may not know that your casual fans and career fans make up the majority of your fan base, unlike other artists who have so many die-hard fans.” Lu Yanhe: "Really?" "Probably because you are not following the usual idol route to attract fans." Chen Siqi said, "You may not even know that you have a big black spot for young people." "Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned and asked, "What's the black spot?" "You are the type of child from other people's families. You are often used as a role model to inspire today's young people, but you also know that many young people don't like role models." "Okay." Lu Yanhe didn't even expect that he had such a dark spot. "Mainly because your status in the hearts of parents is too high." Chen Siqi smiled, "Your character as a top student is impregnable and unbreakable." "Ok." "By the way, guess how many copies of this summer special issue sold?" Chen Siqi asked. Lu Yanhe guessed: "140,000 volumes?" This is based on the usual sales of "Jump Up" plus a little bit of speculation. But Chen Siqi shook his head and said, "It's better. So far, 160,000 copies have been sold." "so much?" "Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "Finally, it's the second anniversary." "Cheers to celebrate that our "Jump Up" is still thriving." "cheers." The smiles of the two people were reflected in each other's eyes. Chen Siqi said: "I hope that "Jump Up" can one day exceed the sales of 200,000 single copies." Lu Yanhe asked: "With the electronic version, it's already exceeded, right?" "Including the electronic version, it has already exceeded." Chen Siqi said, "Actually, the electronic version sells faster than the physical book. However, after our survey, the proportion of reading the physical book is much higher than that of the e-book. Many readers, nearly half, have not finished reading it.” "Such a high ratio?"
"Yes." Chen Siqi said, "So, in fact, the reader retention rate of the electronic version is not very high. A large proportion of users who purchase each issue come from the articles and interviews of celebrities in the current issue and whether they like it. The author's new work." Lu Yanhe understood and nodded. "If you make statistics for us, the number of e-book purchasing readers Liu Zhiyin can bring is between 2500 and 4000. With such a large number of readers, they basically only buy the issue with her column. The electronic version does have This benefit allows for a lot of data analysis," Chen Siqi said with a smile, "and Li Zhibai can bring about new sales." Lu Yanhe was surprised. “Can data analysis be so accurate now?” "Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "But this requires people like Li Zhibai and Liu Zhiyin who publish articles from time to time to make effective statistics. Teacher Jia Long, who has only published one issue, cannot make accurate comparisons. data." Lu Yanhe: "Then such data...will it affect which authors we invite to write articles for us in the future?" With such accurate data, it does not mean that we can analyze which authors and works readers like, but that we can accurately analyze which authors have the most loyal fans. This is almost completely quantifiable "carrying sales". Chen Siqi said: "Yes, but I have not shared this data with all editors. It is mainly in my hands. I am afraid that after everyone gets this data, they will use it to rate the author." "this is not good." "Yes, we must continue to cultivate new authors, and we must always support authors who are creating. Many authors have to be cultivated slowly. Using the current number of reader purchases to characterize them will make them Everyone ignores the room for future growth. Our "Jump Up" is a magazine that hopes to continuously discover and cultivate new authors," Chen Siqi said, "So, I don't plan to share this data with all editors. Just take it into your own hands so that I can make some judgments and decisions.” Lu Yanhe nodded. Chen Siqi: "Oh, by the way, Liujiazhen came to see me two days ago." "Huh?" Lu Yanhe asked, "What's wrong?" The author of "Nineteen Years of Crime" is now a popular figure in the publishing industry. Chen Siqi said: "It seems that there were some problems during the filming of "Nineteen Years of Crime". He wanted to ask if it was possible to get the copyright back." "Ah? What happened? Why does he have such thoughts?" "It seems to be a magic modification of the script." Chen Siqi said, "I also asked legal counsel to help him read his contract, including Jiangyin Publishing House, which also helped him communicate, but it was of no use. There was no way to adapt the contract. The terms in it are very clear. Script adaptation is a normal creation and does not constitute a basis for contract invalidation. " Lu Yanhe said: "The original story of "Nineteen Years" is so good, why did it need to be modified?" "I heard that there were actors on set who wanted to change the script. If one changed it, the other one also had to change it." Chen Siqi said, "I don't know the specific situation. Liujiazhen didn't know until the matter was brought up." ( End of this chapter)
