Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 110 Scarlett

She is just a filler in this short film, with almost no lines, and is mainly there to support her boyfriend Paul Anderson's work.

"Hello, Chen, I really like your novels. Writing movie stories is a great idea."

"Thank you." Chen Linfeng said briefly. This is the director's girlfriend, so it's better not to get too close to her.

Mira was obviously interested in Chen Linfeng.

What she said just now came from the heart. Now many people are optimistic about the film and television adaptation prospects of the novel "Infinite World".

Linking with those famous movie worlds will inherently bring a lot of popularity.

Some people are already speculating whether the sequel to the novel will continue this pattern and remain popular with readers for a long time.

If this can continue, then future adapted films will be a real lucrative business.

It's a pity that she didn't have much chance to eat it. As the heroine of Resident Evil, it was impossible for her to play an important female role in the infinite world.

However, for a writer who is at the peak of his creative career, it is always a good idea to cultivate feelings in advance, and the original author naturally has a certain say in casting.

After a while, Chen Linfeng saw the heroine of the short film.

Let’s call her the heroine for now. In the early part of the novel, Zhan Lan is basically positioned as the heroine.

He found that the girl was a familiar face.

"Hello, Chen. I'm Scarlett Johansson."

"Ms. Johnson, didn't you play the leading role in Lost in Translation?"

Chen Linfeng shook hands with the other party and asked, "Why did you come to star in a short film?"

"Just call me Scarlett." Scarlett seemed very happy that the other person knew her name.

Scarlett, who is just 20 years old, is not tall but has a slim figure. Considering the precocious maturity of Europeans and Americans, it can be said that she is at the age of being fresh and juicy.

She said excitedly, "I am a big fan of yours, and I love the tension that Infinite World brings me."

Chen Linfeng has become accustomed to such words. Everyone in the entertainment industry would say they were his fans right away, but in reality, it would be good if he could have one in ten fans.

He forced a smile, "Thank you for your love, Scarlett. Was it Disney who recommended you?"

Seeing that the other party had guessed it, Scarlett no longer concealed it.

“Yes, I have worked with Disney before. I played Cinderella in a short film they shot. Maybe they thought I was good, so they invited me this time.

As soon as I heard the news from my agent, I immediately agreed. When I was reading the book, I was thinking how great it would be if I could play a role in it. I never expected that it would actually come true.”

This is a lie.

In fact, it was she and her agent who took the initiative and persuaded Disney.

She and her agent have paid attention to the best-selling books in recent years and are very optimistic about "Infinite World".

Such a wonderful story, which can naturally attract fans of the original movie "Quest World" after being adapted into a film or TV series, will definitely have high box office revenue. It is very suitable for the big screen.

This was further confirmed after I heard that Disney was also involved in this short film.

Don’t you see that this big crocodile is already asserting its sovereignty?

The short film is an advance trailer for the movie. As long as you can act in it, you will naturally have an advantage when trying to get a role later.

This is why she, a movie star, came back and took the initiative to star in a short film.

Opportunities in the entertainment industry are all fought for.

Scarlett understood this well.

Chen Linfeng chatted with the beauty in a random manner.

After a while, the actor who played Zhang Jie in the original novel also came over to say hello.

This person is no longer an acquaintance from the previous life. In fact, Jeff Chase is also a serious actor who has appeared in several TV series. He also came here for the possible subsequent adaptation.

Chen Linfeng didn't expect these people to think so far.

In fact, as far as this novel is concerned, it is impossible for him to write the third one so quickly. Even if the first two books are to be adapted into films and TV series, he would not agree to start it in the next few years.

Chen Linfeng has also thought about the issue of if the work is really adapted into a movie later on, and he certainly wants to play the leading role in this work.

However, the problem is that he is not strong enough now.

As an actor, his influence in China is not enough, let alone Hollywood.

Secondly, age is not a factor. You have to be at least 20 years old to have a chance.

In addition, if you want to play the leading role, being the original author and holding the copyright is not that safe.

The Chinese film market also needs to be strong so that they can realize the strength of the Chinese audience.

That would have to be around 10 years ago, or at least after 08.

By then, if he can gain recognition from the general public in China, that is, a level where he can carry a drama or even the box office, then there will be great hope.

Only in this way will it be possible for Hollywood production companies to agree to take the risk of using Chinese actors as the protagonists.

Apart from these two more important characters, the other characters are of all skin colors.

Among them, the villain aunt Yuanyuan is the most authentic. She is a Chinese actress that Chen Linfeng asked Sister Mei to specially select.

Don’t forget tradition.

Anderson had no problem making a short like this.

He avoided the parts of the movie that required special effects as much as possible, and some parts directly used the original film materials.

Originally, Anderson did not design any action scenes, but considering that Chen Linfeng is a well-known kung fu boy, he still let him show his martial arts when facing the zombies, and filmed the action scene after the genetic lock was opened for the first time.

It’s true that Chen Linfeng performs very well in this kind of modern action drama.

Hollywood action directors are now beginning to imitate the fighting styles of Hong Kong films, and the actions they design are no longer the straight-forward fist fights, but instead involve dodging and moving back and forth.

Chen Linfeng himself has a solid foundation in martial arts, and he has long arms and legs, so his fighting movements are very smooth and pleasing to the eye.

Simmons, who came to the set to watch the situation, was also shocked and felt that he saw something strange.

The filming took a total of 5 days on the biochemical set.

In the past few days, Chen Linfeng's acting skills have also left a deep impression on others.

It is hard to imagine that someone of such an age can perform such neat and swift moves in fighting scenes, and can also hold his own in literary scenes when acting opposite Jeff and Scarlett.

You should know that Scarlett won the Best Actress Award at the British Academy of Television Arts for her recent performance in "Lost in Translation".

By this time Chen Linfeng had already realized that this Jeff was no small character.

He asked Sister Mei to check through Pitt and found out that this person had played supporting roles in many movies and TV series, and his performances were very good.

Chen Linfeng also almost realized that his novel had been noticed by some people in the Hollywood industry.

Then the production companies above them must have had this idea a long time ago.

Maybe it's just because Disney is watching over our heads that they didn't come knocking on our door.

He became more resolute in his mind and decided to keep a calm mind and not agree to the film or TV adaptation too early.

On the one hand, the higher the sales of subsequent novels, the easier it will be to negotiate terms.

If you want to play a role, or an important role, in an adapted movie, you must wait until you are an adult and have certain abilities.

Otherwise, there is no point in getting such a small amount of money.
