Chapter 940 12 plays
Sometimes, when you stumble and fall, you realize that you need to be steady and methodical in doing things, and not take big steps, otherwise you may easily strain your hip.
Sometimes, you watch others take off and regret that you were too conservative, missed opportunities, or even faced being eliminated from the industry.
Sometimes, you see a company that has been glorious and then declined, like Tangren.
Sometimes, you see a company that has seized every opportunity and always stayed at the forefront of the industry, like Mango.
Whether you call it a lesson or an experience, you have to make a decision.
You can continue steadily without taking on this challenge, but it's very possible that one day, you'll suddenly find yourself falling behind the pace of the industry.
Is it too rigid and conservative?
It doesn't seem so.
Tangren Media clearly benefited from the first wave of popularity of web dramas – "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".
However, like rowing against the current, if you don't move forward, you fall behind. Suddenly, it was repeatedly overtaken from being a top player in the industry, and it fell like a shooting star.
If you accept this challenge, you also face the risk of failure.
The film and television industry is not a place where quantity guarantees success.
Just like Nicolas Cage could become the king of bad movies.
Ultimately, you have to face the fact that things with predictable patterns and replicable experiences are actually quite unremarkable. You are you; what others can do successfully, you may not be able to do successfully, and what others fail at, you may not fail at. The key lies in who you are, what you have, and what level you are capable of achieving.
The key is whether you want to do it or not.
The answer is yes.

“Only Lu Yanhe can do it.” Liu Bige said in an interview with a media outlet, referring to Lu Yanhe’s collaboration with Aurora Borealis on the “Linghe Theater”. “Moreover, if he doesn’t do it, this project will not succeed. In China, if there is anyone who can really make this theater a success and attract overseas audiences to a domestic streaming platform with no existing audience base, it is only Lu Yanhe.”
“He is very courageous and remarkable,” Jiang Yuqian said in an interview. “I have already contacted him. I will act in one of these 12 films. It’s just an adventure, so I’ll act. If we can share success together, we can face failure together. If he needs support, I will definitely be there for him.”
“Is there anything else to ask? When I was making ‘100 Yuan Coffee Shop,’ I didn’t even ask him if he could make a cameo appearance. I just let him come. Similarly, if he’s making Linghe Theater and he really can’t do all of it at once, I’ll work for him. I’ll do two shows for him.” Li Zhibai was still acting like a cocky guy. “I’ll do two shows, Yan Liang will do two shows, and we’ll get a third of it done.”
Chen Siqi: "This number has never been the focus, although it has become the focus of discussion now. What Yan He needs to do is not the number 12, but the stable output, continuous audience attraction, and non-flash-in-the-pan topic popularity that the number 12 represents. Novels for 'Jump Up' will be given priority to him... Well, actually, they have always been given priority to him."
"Chinese people still value subtlety and humility. Don't talk about things before they're done." Luo Yuzhong rarely gave an interview. "But this matter itself couldn't be subtle. If you're going to do it, you have to do it in a big way. So I originally wanted to call him and tell him to talk less and do more, but I didn't. That's good. As for the final result, as an actor and screenwriter, his aesthetic sense is top-notch. It's an experiment. If it succeeds, this model can be replicated in the future. If it doesn't succeed, we'll learn from the experience and make corrections later."
...
Many people have given interviews and expressed their opinions about what Lu Yanhe is going to do.
The more this is the case, the more people realize that only Lu Yanhe can accomplish this.
Because everyone trusts him and recognizes him.
Lu Yanhe's project could potentially reduce communication costs with various parties by half, or even more.
Like Li Yuefeng, who attended the press conference with both "The Corpse 2" and "The Corpse 3," he spoke from the perspective of a typical "veteran," saying, "Initially, didn't nobody have high hopes for 'The Corpse'? Even my agent thought the movie wouldn't do well. The budget was low, the director wasn't very famous at the time, and the genre... well, you know, it wasn't the kind of blockbuster that Chinese movies usually have. But as soon as they approached me, I agreed because they said Yan He also thought the script was good. Sometimes, people, like me, if you don't have the ability to spot good things at a glance, you have to learn another skill: trusting others. The worst thing is not having that ability yourself, yet questioning those who do, asking, 'Really? Can it really be done? Why am I so skeptical?'"
When Li Yuefeng shared his own experience with the media in the audience, the entire room burst into laughter.
"As you all saw, 'The Corpse' not only exploded at the box office, but also achieved excellent viewership ratings on HP, which propelled the production of the second and third installments. We've already finished filming 'The Corpse 2,' and the first draft of the script for 'The Corpse 3' is complete. Games, comics, animation... well, you can probably tell how proud I am." Li Yuefeng revealed a bright, smug smile. "So, Yan He, you're going to film 12 movies in a row, how about giving me one of them to act in?"
Li Yuefeng asked Lu Yanhe for a role on set.
After the press conference, in addition to Lu Yanhe's friends supporting and backing him in interviews, some actors and screenwriters also directly tagged Lu Yanhe online, offering their services.
The biggest name among them is Huang Kairen.
Lu Yanhe replied in surprise in the comments section: Bro, what are you doing?
Huang Kairen: I've rested enough recently and want to go back to acting. I saw that you're going to film so many dramas, so I had to tag you right away.
Lu Yanhe: Okay, then what kind of role do you want to play? I'll tailor-make one for you.
Huang Kairen: Whatever you think I can act in, I will act in.
Lu Yanhe: Where did you learn this art of flattery to kill?
Lu Yanhe's actions have indeed had a significant impact.
It was so big that even Kim Eon-sook from the neighboring South Korean TVN contacted Lu Yanhe.
What she wanted to know was whether Aurora Video, which aims to become a global streaming platform, would focus on Korean dramas.
Lu Yanhe retorted, "Your Korean dramas basically all have Maxine available, so why are you still concerned about this?"
Kim Yeon-sook said that Maxine has basically monopolized the overseas export of Korean dramas, and Jong Bon-seok has started to lower prices, no longer as "generous" as before.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanhe exclaimed, "Oh, so that's how it is."
You really shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.
