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

Chapter 124 The Condor Heroes
Shu Chang heard this and asked with interest, "It's obvious that this actor is not a professional actor, but he can act in Director Feng's movie, and it's an important role second only to the male and female protagonists. Isn't it amazing?"

"It's really awesome."

Call it a coincidence, or call it hard work pays off.

Wang Baoqiang started out as an extra and worked hard at the age of 16. Two years ago, he was favored by director Li Yang and played the leading role in the movie Blind Shaft.

He won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer right after his debut, and then was able to go back to being an extra.

He was picked up by the big boss Feng Xiaogang and cast in the role of Sha Gen.

It is indeed a bit of luck, but this natural simple and friendly appearance, as well as one's own continuous efforts, are also indispensable.

Shu Chang felt a little emotional when he learned about this person's experience as a group performer and winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer.

She had also been in a film crew since she was very young, and she knew the status of an extra. It was really not easy to make it.

After this short episode, the scene came to where two thieves were competing with each other in peeling eggs.

Shi Xiaolong was amazed by what he saw and said he wanted to go back and try it.

After the three of them finished watching the movie, on the way back, Shi Xiaolong was still sighing that an acquaintance from the past was actually acting in a movie.

"I don't know if I'll have the chance to work with Shagen in the future. I kind of miss him now. When I was little, I thought he looked silly, but he was actually very smart."

Chen Linfeng thought about the TV series and movies that Wang Baoqiang had filmed.

"Maybe there really is a chance, it depends on luck."

I stayed in the Jingwei Filling the Sea crew until noon the next day.

During this period, Chen Linfeng and Shu Chang tested Shi Xiaolong's acting skills, lines, and other skills, and then gave him some guidance.

I will be taking the art exam in January or February next year, so I don’t want to fail then.

Next, Chen Linfeng rushed to the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes, which was not far away, just next door.

The crew size of The Return of the Condor Heroes is much larger than that of Jingwei Filling the Sea.

Zhang Da Huzi is now at the peak of his career. Several of his dramas adapted from Jin Yong have received considerable investment and have made a lot of noise, regardless of their quality.

Every drama is hyped up to attract the attention of the media and the audience since before filming begins.

Considering that Jin Yong's dramas are inherently popular, it will be easier to negotiate prices with TV stations once the films are released.

No matter what, for a drama produced in this way, the TV station will increase its publicity efforts due to sunk costs, which will be very helpful for the ratings of the drama itself.

The cooperation between CCTV and Huaying suggested by Chen Linfeng and Fang Hua was also based on this consideration.

With big investment, big production, and a large number of famous actors joining in, it will naturally be more eye-catching.

As long as there is enough quality support, it will be easier to achieve success.

In fact, domestic film production is currently following this path. There is a reason why Han Shanping of Huaying is keen on making blockbusters.

China's current film market does need blockbusters.

Attracting people who don't usually go to the cinema to the theater, constantly heating up the film market, and investing capital in infrastructure such as theaters and film and television cities will be beneficial to the overall development of the film industry.

However, no one expected that the aggressiveness of Internet capital is far greater than that of traditional capital. In the later stage, even content production is controlled by capital.

Of course, Chen Linfeng had informed the crew in advance before coming this time.

There was no way Zhang Da Huzi would miss such an opportunity for hype, so he called the reporters early.

When being interviewed by the crew, Chen Linfeng also took the opportunity to promote the Jingwei Reclamation Project in which his company participated in the investment.

With child stars like Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang who are somewhat popular, it's no big deal to do some publicity for them. The reporters were very considerate and reported the news as well.

After Chen Linfeng's interview, Zhang Jizhong took over the interview.

He first followed the crew members into the set.

As usual, Xiao Chang and his friends bought some things to give to others. This was Chen Linfeng's fixed routine when he visited the set.

At the shooting site, Liu Qianqian was wearing a white costume with several wires wrapped around her body. She stood there bored, waiting for the staff to get ready for the next shot.

She saw Chen Linfeng coming over and waved with a smile from a distance. Chen Linfeng stretched out a palm and waved his fingers in response.

Liu Qianqian bared her teeth at him angrily and asked, "Are you greeting the puppy?"
Chen Linfeng laughed, walked closer and said, "Xixi, your dress is so beautiful. I'm right, aren't I? You will always be known as the Fairy Sister."

Liu Qianqian was delighted when she heard this, but she tried her best to keep a straight face on the surface.

However, I couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

"You just know how to tease me. I won't fall for it."

After a while, the staff was ready and Chen Linfeng stepped aside.

He happened to see Liu Xiaoli there and walked up to say hello.

"Aunt Liu is here too. I haven't seen you for a while."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Yes, he didn't come to my house to play this semester."

"I just came back and I was busy shooting a short film. Then Xixi had to go out to film a movie, so I couldn't come to visit."

"What do you mean by visiting or not? You are so polite, kid." Liu Xiaoli scolded.

"Speaking of the short film I shot earlier, I have to thank you for looking for our Sissi."

She exclaimed sincerely, "This is a great shot."

I practiced dancing, but my daughter's dream is to become an actor. Although I sincerely support my daughter, I sometimes feel a little regretful.

Now, when she sees the short films shot by her daughter, even if they are underwater dances and are edited in pieces, she still feels gratified.

Besides, this short film shows my daughter so brilliantly, maybe it can even help increase Sissi's popularity. I don't know how to thank this child.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli thought of what her daughter had told her some time ago, that she would no longer be a singer.

She hesitated for a while, but still asked, "Xiao Chen, some time ago, Xixi suddenly said that she didn't want to be a singer anymore. Did you say anything to her?"

Liu Xiaoli realized that what she said was a little wrong.

She immediately added, "Auntie is not blaming you, I just want to hear your opinion."

There is actually some truth in this statement.

Chen Linfeng has been a nationally renowned genius since he was young.

Geniuses are always different from ordinary people. Judging from his development over the years, he is indeed a person with ideas.

Of course this is not the key.

The main reason is Chen Linfeng’s operations in the stock market.

Although he tried his best to conceal the news, there is no wall that is impenetrable.

In a very small circle, word began to spread about writer Xiao Chen's incredible gains in the stock market.

Liu Xiaoli also heard it from her friends. Although she was not sure whether it was really that amazing, judging from the attitude of the people around Chen Linfeng towards him, this kid was indeed not an ordinary person.

So I really value his judgment. If the music market is really going to decline, it would be better not to be a singer.

She didn't want to see her daughter take a detour.

Chen Linfeng repeated his reasons again, and this time he added data from Europe and the United States. From a global perspective, the sales of music albums will inevitably decrease.

European and American countries have better copyright awareness. If they can pay more attention to online copyright, they may be able to maintain the market from collapsing quickly.

But the conditions do not exist in China, so his judgment is that signs will appear in two years at most, and the market decline will be very obvious within five years.

After listening to this, Liu Xiaoli nodded.

Although it is impossible to judge whether the prediction will come true, it feels that Xiao Chen is not speaking casually. He is also considering his daughter's interests when he advises Xixi not to be a singer.

This is fine. Being a singer is an experiment in the first place. Now that I know it may not go smoothly, I'd better avoid it in advance.

She sighed, "How come the people in our country have no copyright awareness? In terms of basic quality, they are still a lot worse than those in Europe and America."
