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

Chapter 130 The Biggest Pie of the Year

Chen Linfeng found Wang Rui and asked him about this year's exam situation in both open and covert ways.

Wang Rui said with a headache, "Okay, I know what you mean. You are here for your brother. Don't worry, the school will not raise the standards just because your brother is a child star."

Chen Linfeng asked worriedly, "Really? I don't believe it."

He said confidently, "I heard that the teachers in our school, when recruiting new students, will focus on the development potential of the actors, and generally will not recruit actors whose performance patterns have been established.

Isn’t this what we are talking about child stars?”

He thought about Cao Jun in his previous life.

This person applied to three art schools in a row, but was ultimately not selected. I heard that he was rejected because of this reason.

Wang Rui was a little embarrassed. This saying had indeed existed before.

But since the year before last, they recruited Chen Linfeng and Shu Chang and reaped the benefits of being child stars.

How can I bear to stick to such principles any longer?

This also sets a precedent for Yan Film Studio to recruit famous young actors for publicity.

He was a little angry and waved his hand, "Go away, go away, go back quickly when you are fine, I don't have time to deal with you."

Chen Linfeng sensed something from the teacher's attitude and left with a smile.

Fang Hua started the preparation work for "Li Shimin" (tentative title).

The first thing to consider is choosing a director.

The first choice that came to my mind was Hu Mei.

The Yongzheng Dynasty directed by this person is a classic historical drama.

The "Emperor of Han Wu" which was just released this year was also very well made, and the war scenes were very exciting.

There are also considerable war scenes in "Li Shimin", so she should be a better choice.

However, after Fang Hua inquired, he had no choice but to give up.

As soon as the Chinese New Year is over, Hu Mei will join the crew of "Qiao Family Courtyard".

This drama is also a major drama that China Central Television attaches great importance to this year.

This person can't be snatched away, so I can only find another one.

Next, he thought of Zhang Li, who had filmed "Out of Nowhere" and "Towards the Republic".

Although he is not specialized in historical dramas, he is also one of the more capable directors among the many directors who have collaborated with CCTV.

He contacted him first to see if he had time.

After learning that the other party is available.

Fang Hua called Chen Linfeng again, and he had to get Chen's consent.

This film uses Chen Linfeng's script, and is different from other editors.

Chen Linfeng's works and scripts have become increasingly famous in China, especially after the Time magazine cover incident and after serving as the screenwriter of Pixar's new animated film.

In the screenwriting industry, the identities and status are different.

Huayang TV plans to directly use the words "Chen Linfeng's work" in its later promotion.

The promotional specifications are somewhat similar to the models of Qiong Yao and Haiyan.

These two people can directly decide the director and leading actor of their own works.

At present, Chen Linfeng has only raised the publicity specifications, and the specific power has not yet reached this level.

But in the division of labor within the crew, Chen Linfeng also plays an important role.

Because one of the investors of this drama is Longlin Company.

Xiao Chen is also a major shareholder of Longlin Company. At that time, he will directly serve as the producer in the crew.

When these two items are added together, the weight becomes heavy.

Therefore, when choosing a director, it is best to confirm with him to prevent conflicts between the two parties.

Chen Linfeng heard on the phone that the drama might be directed by Zhang Li, and of course he was very willing.

Based on his experience in his previous life, he recognized Zhang Li more than Fang Hua.

A while ago, I saw the script of The Ming Dynasty 1566 in Liu Hebing's study.

This TV series was later directed by Zhang Li, and it was indeed filmed very well.

So there is no need to worry about Director Zhang’s attainments in historical dramas.

After the director was confirmed, the subsequent preparations went much faster.

CCTV is full of talented people in this regard. Fang Hua directly sent someone to liaise with Chen Linfeng so that he could be informed of the progress of the preparations at any time.

As for Chen Linfeng, although he is one of the producers, his main role is to learn.

He knew that he was still a novice in this area, so he usually just listened and didn't talk.

Only when it comes to areas that he is more concerned about.

For example, he only expressed his opinions on the actors and costumes and props.

At the same time, he believes that these two aspects are the two most critical parts in historical dramas.

One directly determines the outcome of the performance, while the other can greatly affect the texture of the historical drama.

As for the actors, the two dramas share the same actors.

Ma Yue has already been confirmed to play the adult Li Shimin in "The Reign of Zhenguan".

Jin Shijie plays Wei Zheng, Ma Shaohua plays Zhangsun Wuji. For Li Shimin, Tang Guoqiang is tentatively confirmed to play Fang Xuanling, Chen Baoguo to play Du Ruhui, and Chen Linfeng to play the young Li Shimin.

Currently, there are two important characters in each unit.

Excluding Chen Linfeng and Ma Yue, the two predetermined protagonists.

In addition, once these four important characters are brought out, the basic quality of these two dramas can basically be guaranteed.

These people have become famous veteran actors in later generations.

Of course, these four needed to wear young costumes when performing "Li Shimin".

Otherwise, the contrast would be too obvious if he acted with Chen Linfeng.

In the drama "Li Shimin", the remaining relatively important characters include: King Tang Li Yuan, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Guanyinbi, and other civil and military officials under the command of King Qin.

These may have to wait until after the new year to be confirmed one by one.

However, the news that "Li Shimin" and "The Reign of Zhenguan" were casting together was spread.

People in the industry basically know that this year there will be a major historical drama about the early Tang Dynasty.

It was filmed in collaboration between China Central Television and China Film Group.

When two big tigers join forces, what a big commotion that will cause.

All the actors and film and television companies that are able to get involved have made a move to compete for the roles.

This is clearly the biggest pie of the year.

Even Shu Chang and Liu Qianqian came to ask.

The few invitations Shu Chang has received so far are not good roles.
She changed her agent last year, ended her solo career, and joined Hairun Pictures.

This company has produced quite a few TV series, so logically speaking, it should have plenty of resources, but it also has a lot of artists under it, so there still may not be enough to share.

Therefore, when Shu Chang joined the show, he also faced fierce competition, and none of the roles he was given so far were particularly good.

Previously, Chen Linfeng suggested that she strive for the role of a female nurse in "Bright Sword".

As a welcome gift for her when she first joined the company, Hairun gave her this role.

But after reading the original novel, Shu Chang didn’t think that this kind of book would make a good TV series.

Of course, the original novel is really rubbish, and it was only thanks to the TV series production team that the quality was brought back.

The original author should kowtow to the production team.

However, Shu Chang didn't know, so he was still looking for the next opportunity.

Now that I've heard about this drama, I called to ask.

There are only a few outstanding female characters in this drama, and Hairun Films may not be willing to make great efforts to help her win it.

Chen Linfeng didn't think Shu Chang had much of a chance, but he still introduced the roles of several female characters to her.

The rest is up to luck.

In addition there is Liu Qianqian.

Her filming schedule conflicts with this drama, but it doesn't completely overlap.

So Chen Linfeng also suggested to her that she could try to fight for it.

After these two, there weren't many calls. There were only a few people in the industry who knew his private phone number. The rest probably called Sister Mei.

Sure enough, after school was on vacation, I met Sister Mei again.

Sister Mei told him about this, and indeed quite a few people contacted her.

There are also those who want to exchange resources, and what they mean is that they all want to compete for a role in the play.

However, the cakes provided by these people were not too big, and Sister Mei found them uninteresting.

Sister Mei listed all the actors and companies that came to inquire about her.

Chen Linfeng kept it in mind and planned to study it again after the new year to see if there was anything suitable.

During the winter vacation, a senior high school student like Shi Xiaolong would definitely not be able to take a few days off.

But since he is an art student, when I just came back, I saw him lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"Xiaolong, what are you looking at?"

"This year's opening drama is "The Emperor Wu of Han,"" Shi Xiaolong said, pointing at the TV screen.

"This Huo Qubing is so handsome, and he is so fierce in battle. I really want to play this role."

　[Xissi]: Did you write the book "Li Shimin"?

　　[Fengyun Hebi]: Yes, it has been changed for 40,000 years.

　　【Wind and Cloud】: Five

　　【Xianxi】：0.0
　　[Sissi]: Guanyinbi must be Empress Zhangsun.
　　[Wind and Cloud]: Yes, Li Shimin is always the white moonlight, the model of the queen

　　[Xissi]: It’s great that the person I like also likes me. Empress Changsun is so lucky.
　　【风云合璧】: Don’t do this kind of romance, I can’t stand it

　　[Sissi]: That’s right. I’m just repeating history.

　　[Wind and Cloud Combination]: We have to mention this story. While Li Shimin loved his wife, he also missed his brother's sister-in-law Yang.

　　[Xixi]: Shut up, don't say such terrible things.

　　【风云合璧】: That’s right, I’m just repeating history

　　【茜茜】：I’m leaving now. I won’t talk to you anymore.
