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

Chapter 128 Pulling and Testing
As the chief producer of The Return of the Condor Heroes, Zhang Jizhong is also a person who loves hype, so of course he would not miss this opportunity.

He told the media directly that he had watched the short film shot by Liu Xixi and felt that she was the person in China who looked most like a fairy, and that she was the most suitable person to play the role of Xiaolongnu.

That is to say, he knew that Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian would not expose him.

So what he said was so certain, as if it were true.

Not to mention, he has fooled quite a few female celebrities who were angry because they were tricked by him.

These people were originally very dissatisfied with Liu Qianqian.

But now, after reading "Song of the Goddess of Luo River", I have to admit that at least there is some reason why she was chosen to be Xiaolongnu.

At least the loss was not due to off-field reasons.

Invisibly, this reduced a lot of obstacles in Liu Qianqian's future path.

This sudden wave of popularity is nothing to Chen Linfeng.

After all, when he won the top spot in the imperial examination, there was widespread discussion and media coverage.

When people discuss him nowadays, they just think that geniuses are extraordinary and can always do something shocking.

That's it.

Somewhat accustomed to the meaning.

People in the industry will not be like laymen and think that this short film can only demonstrate their level.

Looking at the list of big names at the end of the video, you can tell the quality of this film.

However, others can take pictures while you can’t. This is a skill.

Many people still admire Chen Linfeng for his creativity.

Everyone has initially recognized that he is a director, although he is a novice.

For Liu Qianqian, the popularity of this short film has been of great help to her.

Although she now has the three blood bags of the first half of her life in her hands, the only role that really left a deep impression on the audience is Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

From the current perspective, Liu Xixi's popularity is not particularly high.

This short film not only gave her a big boost, but also attracted praise from many official media outlets.

For these media, actors who have been praised will generally be given some preferential treatment in subsequent public opinion as long as they do not do anything out of line afterwards.

In addition, Zhang Da Huzi's statement also reduced a lot of her secret resentment.

In short, there are many benefits.

Liu Xiaoli called him specifically to express her gratitude and said that after Xixi finished filming the drama, she would cook a table of dishes at home to entertain him.

Chen Linfeng couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm and finally agreed.

The specific time will be arranged later.

This large-scale public opinion discussion lasted for more than half a month.

Because the impression left on the domestic people is too deep, subsequent small-scale discussions will probably continue for a long time.

After accepting some media interviews in the early stage, Chen Linfeng stopped paying attention to this matter and instead attended a communication meeting held jointly by CCTV's Art Department and Huaying.

The communication meeting will be held at the headquarters building of Yanjing Huayang TV.

When he arrived, most people had already arrived.

Chen Shantong had reserved a seat, so Chen Linfeng sat down directly, then asked quietly, "Dad, who are these people?"

Father Chen introduced them to him one by one in a low voice.

They are basically middle and senior management from the two units.

In the CCTV Art and Literature Department, in addition to Fang Hua, there is also a leader named Ma in charge.

The person in charge from Huaying is a manager named Shen Fei.

As they were talking, the two leaders arrived.

The meeting began.

Since it is a connection between units, no one will make their plans clear right from the start.

The leaders of both parties first talked about their importance of this cooperation and emphasized the necessity of cooperation.

Then, the middle-level cadres in charge of specific affairs began to test each other.

After a long and boring back and forth, both sides stated their demands.

It does sound like they are quite sincere, with the intention to cooperate in all aspects including venue, costumes, props, etc.

But the most critical aspects were not mentioned.

Chen Linfeng frowned and was about to speak.

Chen Shantong spoke directly, "Dear leaders, I shouldn't speak in this meeting, but as a third party that has cooperated with both parties, I still feel it is necessary to say something."

Shen Fei said directly, "Old Chen, don't hide anything. Just say whatever you want to say. This meeting is for communication and exchange. Everyone can speak freely."

It seems that Dad has a good relationship with this person.

I had a feeling about it when I heard the introduction before.

Chen Linfeng seemed to be thinking about something, and he still had confidence in his father's communication skills.

"Then I'll throw out some ideas."

Chen Shantong first made a polite remark and then went on to express his thoughts.

“In fact, the three most important aspects of this collaboration are: media resources, actors and script connection.

The main effect we want to achieve is just one: to create an excellent historical TV series.”

At this time, someone from CCTV's Art Department suddenly interrupted and said, "How can it be one? This is just a collaboration, not a merger."

Chen Shantong explained calmly.

“That’s the intention of collaborating on the script and the actors.

From the end of the Sui Dynasty to the end of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty, with such a long time span, there are countless events and characters that can be described.

It can be divided into two parts, with each family shooting half and then making a full connection in the story at the end.

In terms of characters, except for Li Shimin, the protagonist throughout the whole play, from his youth to middle age, is played by two different actors.

The other characters try to stay consistent.”

"Oh, now I understand. It means there are still two movies, but the audience just thinks it's just one. Is that what you mean?"

"This is too fake." Chen Linfeng complained secretly.

This person is obviously Fang Hua's man.

The meeting entered a new stage.

In fact, everyone has known about this proposal for a long time, but no one is willing to bring it up.

Instead, it would be more appropriate for Chen Shantong, a third party.

It seemed as if everyone had heard of this for the first time. They started out whispering and discussing in low voices, and finally gradually reached a consensus and began to discuss further areas of cooperation.

When talking about the specific male lead, everyone looked at Chen Linfeng who was present.

They were also very curious about this young writer who had recently made a big splash.

At that time, there was a senior leader in the station who directly expressed his appreciation for this person at the meeting.

This young writer has been directing TV dramas for CCTV, he is almost like one of our own.

However, this kind of occasion is not suitable for discussing other things, so I just hold my thoughts back.

After the meeting, Chen Linfeng couldn't help but say.

"This meeting is as good as not opening at all. We haven't finalized any important matters in half a day."

Chen Shantong laughed and said, "You haven't experienced this kind of thing much, so of course you don't know.

This time, the main purpose is to set the tone. Then it will be easier to talk. As long as both sides send in a few key persons in charge, things can be finalized quickly."

In fact, Chen Linfeng also knew what this was going to do.

His father asked him to come so that he could meet these leaders and get familiar with them, which might be helpful for their development in the future.

He knows all this.

But after all, it took me a long time to write the book, and as a time traveler, I am very proud and don't like this kind of procrastinating situation.

Let him communicate with others, no problem.

But it was a complete waste of time, and he was not sure whether it would work to make himself look familiar to the boss, which made him a little impatient.

It would be better to go home and write a few more pages.

You still have to find a way to get ahead. It's not enough to have money, you also need to have corresponding power and influence, so that you can participate in fewer meetings of middle-level cadres.

The bosses all confirmed their intention to cooperate after meeting and chatting.

The specific measures were then handed over to the people below to test and negotiate, which was the process of this meeting.

Chen Linfeng suddenly also wanted to make progress.

Chen Shantong was driving his son back home.

He asked with interest about his son's slightly longer-term expectations for the future.

“I see that you have always wanted to be an actor, and I have heard in your talk show before that you want to play your own role.

But now that you are a director, you might be quite talented. What do you think?"

"Of course I'm both directing and acting."
