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

Chapter 151: Yanying's Tradition of Directors
Tu Jingwei had no doubt about the other party's ability to organize the game, even though Chen Linfeng was still a student.

His family runs a film and television company, and he has made a lot of money from publishing books. The scripts he wrote were well received in Hollywood, and now he has won the Silver Lion Award for his first directorial debut.

It wouldn’t feel out of place to try directing a feature film.

“Straight from feature films?”

"I'm still considering this. I personally focus on the script and am relatively not limited to the form."

Tu Jingwei then asked some other questions.

For example, life at school, any new works in the near future, including new film and television works and new books.

Chen Linfeng took the opportunity to promote "She" and "The Lotus Lantern" which will be aired next month.

After the Six Princesses, there were also interviews from other media outlets such as Sina and Guangguang Media.

Chen Linfeng stayed one more day to accept interviews from these media.

After that, he returned to China with Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang.

At this time, Yanying had just started school for a few days, but the school had already received the news and hung a banner directly at the school gate.

“Congratulations to our student Chen Linfeng for winning the Silver Lion Award for Best Short Film at the Venice Film Festival.”

The school's response was not particularly enthusiastic. They simply hung up banners and did not hold any large-scale celebrations.

Because I know that even though it is the Silver Lion Award, its value is not as high as those key awards for feature films.

But that was only on the surface. In reality, the teachers in the directing department were simply overjoyed.

It has always been said that Yanying always produces directors from the photography, screenwriting, and literature departments.

Only the Directing Department claimed to be a serious institution for training directors, but in the end, they didn't teach anything.

This time we will let them see whether the directing department can train good directors.

A student winning the Silver Lion Award, what a concept!
As a representative, Wang Rui called Chen Linfeng to the office.

He started by praising her, "You did a great job this time. You have done a great job."

"The teachers are great, especially Teacher Wang, who helped me a lot."

Wang Rui smiled happily when he heard this.

If you can speak, speak more.

He cleared his throat and tried to keep a serious expression on his face.

"The academy attaches great importance to your winning this time. We have decided to invite some of your seniors who are free to return to campus when the semester assignments are presented, so that they can also see the achievements of the school over the years.

How about you make a report then?"

"Ah, among my seniors, are there any successful directors?"

Of course, what I am referring to here are the senior directors in a narrow sense.

Wang Rui glared at him. "Outsiders say that. Why do you say that? Don't you know that our department is famous?"

Chen Linfeng smiled awkwardly.

In fact, the directing department of Yanying University has produced some famous directors.

It’s just that the joke that famous directors come from non-directing departments has spread too widely, and indeed some great directors who are not from directing departments are more famous.

People like Zhang Yimou, Zhang Li, Ning Hao, Jia Zhangke, Qian Yanqiu, etc. are all typical examples.

In fact, there are many famous directors who graduated from the directing department of Yanying Film Academy, including Chen Kaige, Tian Dazhuang, Gao Xixi, Guan Hu, and Lu Chuan.

hiss~
This list is a bit smelly. Except for Tian Dazhuang, it seems that few of the people above have a good reputation in later generations.

Chen Linfeng had a headache and was thinking in his mind how to deal with them if he really met these people.

Wang Rui saw his hesitation and felt unhappy. "Why, your senior brothers and sisters are here to support you, but you are not happy?"

Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "Of course not. I'm just thinking about how to write the report. I can't brag too much when facing a bunch of big guys."

"I don't believe you. When have you ever been scared?"

"Wall-E" has just been released in the country, and news about foreign countries has been gradually transferred back to China.

As the original author and screenwriter, Chen Linfeng participated in the production of films that achieved great success in both box office and word of mouth.

Not to mention his status as a writer and director, just speaking of his achievements as a screenwriter, he is already a well-known figure in the country.

Considering the boy's usual behavior in school, Wang Rui didn't believe that he was considering this.

He waved his hand in disdain and said, "Okay, just look at the entire report yourself and bring it to me in advance when the time comes." Chen Linfeng nodded and left the office.

In online forums and news media, public opinion now appears to be quite heated.

If this award was won by any other newcomer, it would definitely not cause much splash.

The media will only focus their attention on Li An.

Just like Wang Baoqiang, who was still unknown after winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer.

This news became known only after Wang Baoqiang became famous.

Now, due to Chen Linfeng’s own fame, while the media are reporting that Li An won the Golden Lion Award, most of them are also happy to report that he won the award.

The audience will also be provided with relevant information such as the history and origin of the award, as well as the special nature of this award ceremony.

The media are not insiders in the industry, and most of the information they know about the Silver Lion Award is about feature films from previous years, which are second only to the Golden Lion Award.

So people praised Chen Linfeng highly for winning the award this time.

He won the Silver Lion for his debut film, so he should aim for the Golden Lion next time.

It was the Sixth Princess who explained in detail the value of the award in the subsequent report, slightly changing the focus of the report.

Otherwise, this kind of report might become a dark history in the future.

But even so, the media's enthusiasm for it remains unabated.

Regarding the report that Chen Linfeng may shoot his first feature-length work next year, everyone is also paying attention to it.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, the audience is very eager to see what kind of story will be told in his own work.

As for the official media, it was the China Youth Daily that praised the most this time.

The report summarized Chen Linfeng's various achievements since his debut.

The achievements listed one by one show that Xiao Chen has been constantly exploring new areas and maintaining a high level of enthusiasm for learning and enterprising spirit.

The report praised this spirit and called on other young people to learn from it.

This kind of praise made Chen Linfeng blush.

The online reaction to the news of Chen Linfeng winning the award was very enthusiastic, and there was a lot of discussion on various forums. However, the specific content seemed commonplace.

[For some reason, I've gotten used to Chen Linfeng doing things that are beyond the ordinary.]

[I feel the same way. I wouldn’t be surprised if he won an Oscar.]

[The above is a little exaggerated. Lao Mouzi has been thinking about it for so long. If Chen Linfeng gets it so easily, how embarrassing it will be. ]

[Not really, not really. Chen Linfeng is still a human being after all, not that evil.]

Is he still a human being?

[I don’t think so]

[Same as above]

[Same as above]

【Not counting】

【Those upstairs, keep in formation.】

……

Yu Shengming is so happy that "The Lotus Lantern" will be broadcast next month.

The promotion was about to begin, but who would have thought that the leading actor would do such a big thing. Isn't this popularity falling from the sky?

He went straight to the school and pulled Chen Linfeng out. It would be a waste not to take advantage of such a good opportunity to gain popularity.

The promotion of the "The Lotus Lantern" crew started in advance.

The main creative team was divided into several waves and went on shows everywhere to promote the project.

Of course, the three people who were mainly responsible for running announcements around were Chen Linfeng, Shu Chang and Jiao Enjun.

The three of them are more famous and have more invitations, and they participate in most of the popular variety shows.

As for the other actors, they just go on the show when they arrive in the actor’s home province or neighboring provinces.
