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

Chapter 123: No Thief in the World
As New Year's Day approached, Chen Linfeng went to Hengdian to visit Shi Xiaolong's class, and then went to find Liu Qianqian, and then the two of them went to attend CCTV's New Year's Day Gala together.

When he arrived at the door of the crew, a man named Liu Yun came to pick him up.

This person is from Chen Shantong's company. He works as a producer in the Jingwei Reclamation Sea crew. He is considered one of the few high-end talents under Chen's father's command.

This person has been in charge of the production of several dramas invested in consecutively by Dragon and Kirin Company.

Chen Linfeng and Liu Yun have met several times. During the Chinese New Year, he often comes to pay New Year's greetings with a big bag of things.

After a brief greeting, the two of them walked towards the crew. Xiao Chang and Luo Lin carried the purchased items and distributed them to the crew members, while Chen Linfeng went directly to find Shu Chang and Shi Xiaolong.

Although these three people are not successful now, they are at least well-known figures. They are no longer the unknown status they were when they were first met on the crew of the sequel to Journey to the West.

When Chen Linfeng went to the actors' rest area, he found a group of people chatting around Shi Xiaolong. Shu Chang was also nearby, and everyone was talking and laughing from time to time.

Shi Xiaolong was the first to see his brother coming, and he quickly stood up and ran over.

"I heard Shu Chang talking about the short film you shot. When can you ask me to shoot one too?"

"Then you'll have to wait. The next work I'm going to produce is an animated short film."

"The animation is good. Let me see it when it's done." Shi Xiaolong was interested in this.

When I was young, I practiced martial arts every day, and later I made movies. I had no time to watch animation, so naturally I didn’t have this hobby.

However, during the years when he was idle at home, Chen Linfeng often looked for some animation discs to watch, which attracted him to the show.

As the two were talking, Shu Chang also came over.

"Come to think of it, Xiaofeng, Xiaolong, the three of us have hardly ever been together since the sequel."

Shi Xiaolong tilted his head and thought about it, and it was true.

"We are called kings who don't meet each other. If they really meet, it will be an earth-shattering event." Shi Xiaolong said impatiently.

"Do you want me to buy some wine so we can have a Three Kings Feast?"

"Oh, that's a good idea."

The three people were joking over here, and the actors over there were looking over here with envy.

Someone sighed quietly, "It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others. We are older, but we are not as successful as these three young ones."

"How can we compare them like that? To be honest, our current level is not as good as the achievements of those two brothers when they were less than 10 years old."

Several people sighed, as if they suddenly realized the hardships of life.

In fact, these people were just chatting out of boredom, and they didn't really think about how big the gap was.

There are many people in the entertainment industry with different levels of status, and age is never used to distinguish them.

Let’s not talk about Shu Chang for now. As for the two brothers, one of them had already achieved success and fame a long time ago. When he came to the film and television industry, it seemed more like he came down to earth to experience life, or maybe it was out of interest.

The other is a currently popular child star. His father runs a film and television company. The company is now developing in full swing, and his own development will definitely not be bad in the future.

The gap was so huge that they couldn't have any other ideas in their minds.

Actually speaking, the cast of Jingwei Filling the Sea is indeed weak, and there are almost no famous people in the group.

In the past, the show basically relied on the subject matter, the script, and Shu Chang, a relatively famous child star.

The only two actors with some fame are Wu Qilong and Xu Shaoqiang. One only made a cameo appearance in the beginning, and the other was a supporting role with few lines. Both of them are not in the crew now.

The remaining actors all look more pathetic than the other.

With Shi Xiaolong joining this drama in this life, the ratings may be even higher than in the previous life. This is also a rare time for Shi Xiaolong to play the leading male role. In the past few years, he mostly joined the crew as an important supporting role.

Becoming a protagonist now is also part of the transformation plan.

If an actor plays a supporting role for a long time, it is really difficult for him to return to the position of the protagonist.

Because the producers will become suspicious and question whether the actors have the ability to carry the show.

In his previous life, Shi Xiaolong went abroad to study and returned to China to act again. Except for Zhou Yi's Peacock Feather, no other crew had ever given him the treatment of a leading actor.

This life is certainly different. Now he is laughing happily, not knowing that he has reached another world line.

After the three of them stood and chatted for a while, it was the male and female protagonists' turn, and Shu Chang and Shi Xiaolong started acting.

Chen Linfeng was the only one left. Some people from the crew came up to him to get close to him, and some asked for his autograph.

After dealing with these people, Chen Linfeng sat in Shi Xiaolong's chair and watched the filming process of the crew.

Overall, the drama has undergone some changes due to the addition of Xiaolong.

The actor positioning is slightly different from Chen Linfeng.

Although the three dramas he has starred in so far all involve certain martial arts movements, his identity as a writer has left such a deep impression on people that the audience does not regard him as a pure martial arts actor.

But Shi Xiaolong is different. The audience expects him to perform fighting scenes, and they would feel uncomfortable without them.

He is already a pure martial arts actor.

Therefore, the main difference between the play "Jingwei Filling the Sea" and the previous version is the fighting part. The crew added a lot of martial arts moves for Shi Xiaolong accordingly.

Moreover, with the participation of Longlin Company, the entire crew's martial arts directors and extras are all from Longlin Company, so the professionalism is guaranteed.

The level of the fighting scenes is obviously not on the same level as the previous version.

Combined with some special effects from mythological dramas, Chen Linfeng is still looking forward to the response after the show is broadcast.

After the afternoon shooting was over, Chen Linfeng, Shu Chang and Shi Xiaolong went out to play together.

I originally wanted to go to a KTV to sing, but considering the crowds and the absence of Liu Qianqian, the microphone master, there would be no lead singer and I might not want to sing after a while.

Finally, Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang decided to go to the movies. It happened that "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu" were released recently, but they had not gone to see them yet because they were still filming.

Of course Chen Linfeng had seen it before, but that was in his previous life, and he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he went along.

He chose A World Without Thieves between the two movies, mainly because Shi Xiaolong had a liking for Andy Lau.

There is a photo of him being held by Liu Dehua when he was little, and he used to show off to Chen Linfeng a lot.

However, while watching it, Shi Xiaolong stared at the actor who played Sha Gen for a long time and felt a little confused.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, look at the actor who plays Sha Gen, have we seen him before?"

Chen Linfeng said speechlessly, "Isn't this Wang Baoqiang, who used to learn martial arts in our Shaolin Martial Arts Academy.

I remember you took a photo with him. You can't just remember the photo with Andy Lau but forget the photo with your fellow apprentice."

Shi Xiaolong scratched his head hard. When he heard the name Wang Baoqiang, he felt a little familiar with it, but because he was young at that time, he couldn't remember it clearly now.

But knowing that he also graduated from Shaolin Martial Arts Academy, his origins are clear.

He sighed, "I didn't expect that martial arts school could produce talents."
