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

Chapter 161 Celebration and Resource Exchange

Shi Xiaolong became interested.
"You are planning to make a TV series yourself, what kind of subject matter is it? Is there a role suitable for me? I can help you."

“Urban themes.”

As for the role, Chen Linfeng thought about it and said, "There really is a role that suits you. Taking into account the time to write the script, it is expected to start filming in the second half of next year. Remember to leave some time for me then."

"No problem." Shi Xiaolong agreed readily.

On the weekend, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian went to attend Tang Ren’s celebration party together. The venue was not far away, in Yanjing.

The two of them went there early and happened to meet Hu Ge who had just arrived.

Hu Ge has only one drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy" currently aired, which is being broadcast on local TV stations. His next drama, "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", will premiere at the end of the year.

Nowadays he is still a little unknown and has no idol image at all.

He greeted them first and then led them to the box to chat.

"Director Chen, I heard that our drama can be broadcast on Star TV because of you. Thank you so much."

"It has nothing to do with me. Our show is just an adaptation of a game story. It's not that relevant to the game. Otherwise, it wouldn't work no matter who comes to play it."

"You are too modest."

"We are all the same age, don't be so polite, otherwise it will be uncomfortable."

Hu Ge also felt uncomfortable, but who can blame people in the industry for not calling people randomly? There were so many people in the entertainment industry who had conflicts over a name.

Now that he heard what the other party said, he relaxed a little.

He turned to Liu Xixi and said, "Xixi, have you taken on any new dramas recently?"

"No, I study at school and I'm idle at home."

Hu Ge was surprised and said, "You should have no shortage of acting offers, why don't you take on more roles?"

Liu Qianqian glanced at Chen Linfeng and said in a complaining tone, "Even now, some people dislike my poor acting skills. I need to stop and recharge myself."

Chen Linfeng flatly denied it, "It has nothing to do with me. I have always praised you."

"It's better not to say your sarcastic compliments."

Hu Ge watched the interaction between the two and it was obvious that they had a good relationship.

Moreover, when Liu Qianqian spoke to Chen Linfeng, she was not as distant and polite as she was when they were on the crew.

It turns out that she can be so lively in front of boys. Hu Ge felt a little disappointed.

But I didn't hold out too much hope before, so I'm not too upset now.

He joked, "Only those who have plenty of work to do would think this way. For me, it's like I'm unemployed after graduation."

"Hu Ge, you don't have many days of free time left. When Fairy Sword is broadcast, you will be famous."

Chen Linfeng reminded, "But it's unlikely that this drama will be recognized by game fans. You two should be prepared to be scolded. Don't be unable to bear it when the time comes."

Hu Ge smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, we have been scolded now. Since it was confirmed to be broadcast on satellite TV, the company posted photos of several of us on the Internet, and many people were dissatisfied."

Liu Qianqian felt the same way. "Yes, their insults were really nasty."

Since the last incident, she has paid more attention to online comments and has seen relevant discussion posts.

Chen Linfeng really didn't notice this, but this is normal.

I was also scolded in my previous life.

It was only after the series was widely broadcast and the number of fans of the TV series increased that public opinion began to improve.

In fact, even after public opinion changed, niche gathering places like gaming forums have continued to be criticized for more than a decade.

He consoled her, “All TV dramas and movies with original works are unlikely to be recognized by the fans of the original works.

Even movies of the quality of The Lord of the Rings have fans who are dissatisfied with the original novels. We just need to do our best and don’t care what others say. "

The three chatted for a while, and then several other actors in the play arrived. They came to Chen Linfeng one by one to greet him.

At this time Cai Yinong also came in. She sat next to Chen Linfeng and said with a smile.

"Writer Xiao Chen has been very popular recently. Are you interested in working with us as an actor?"

"If there's a chance, that would be great." Chen Linfeng said politely. Cai Yunlong exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, then ran to Liu Qianqian's side and started talking affectionately, which made Liu Qianqian feel a little uncomfortable.

This intimacy came to an end only later, when the event materials in the hall were set up and the celebration ceremony began.

Tang Ren invited a group of reporters to interview him. The celebration party was certainly not just a celebration, but mainly for the promotion of the upcoming Legend of Sword and Fairy which would be broadcast on satellite TV.

"Chen Linfeng, I heard that this drama was able to be broadcast on satellite TV because of you. Is that true?"

"Who told you that? Before TV series are broadcast on satellite TV, they usually have a trial broadcast on local TV stations. The production team of the show "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was just being cautious, so the trial broadcast took a little longer."

The reporters were all shocked. How could such false words be spoken so openly?

"I heard that you are the final editor of this drama. Are you confident that the adapted TV series will satisfy the fans of the game?"

Who can have confidence in this?

But of course you can't say that.

"At least as a fan of the game, I think it's pretty good. I hope everyone feels the same way as I do."

"Excuse me, Chen Linfeng, you are the screenwriter of both The Lotus Lantern and The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Which of these two dramas do you think is better?"

You're fishing too obviously.

Chen Linfeng glanced at the reporter who asked this question with dissatisfaction. You can stir up trouble, but you can't doubt my IQ.

He asked back, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy has been airing for more than half a year. Which of these two dramas do you think is better?"

“I haven’t seen it yet.”

"That's a bit unprofessional of you. I suggest you do some preparation before coming. Next."

Reporters were also asking questions to other actors.

"Excuse me, Liu Qianqian, are you confident in your role as Zhao Linger? There are a number of netizens online who are not very satisfied with your image in the stills. What do you think?"

"I feel I have done my best and hope netizens can see my sincerity."

"An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan, how did you two switch roles?"

……

After the celebration ceremony, Cai Yinong gave Chen Linfeng a big red envelope as a thank you.

He pinched it and found it was not that thin.

Before leaving, Cai Yinong actually talked about cooperation.

At the beginning, they wanted Chen Linfeng to be listed as the screenwriter in the next Tang Ren drama and give him a certain amount of compensation.

Of course this is not possible. He is not short of money and does not want to lose the favor of his superiors.

Cai Yinong also guessed that he might not agree, so he went on to talk about other ways of cooperation.

Resource exchange.

Both companies are film and television production companies, but Tang Ren has an additional agency business.

Cai Yinong’s idea is that Tang Ren’s actors can get the opportunity to perform in the Longlin drama.

Correspondingly, Tang Ren will try his best to provide suitable roles for Chen Linfeng or Shi Xiaolong in the next drama he will direct.

The most recent drama is "Young Generals of the Yang Family". Cai Yinong invited Chen Linfeng and Shi Xiaolong to play several boys of the Yang family. The specific roles will be determined later.

This is something that can be discussed. Although Chen Linfeng may not need it too much, Shi Xiaolong can have more opportunities.

Resource exchange must generally be equal. As long as it is fair, there is nothing wrong with having one more cooperating company.

Chen Linfeng confirmed his willingness to cooperate and said that he would determine the role of the drama Young Generals of the Yang Family after discussing it after returning.

This drama is considered to be pretty good. It’s not a huge hit, but it’s also an excellent drama with many celebrities joining in.

He himself probably can't act anymore, so it depends on whether Xiaolong wants to act. He should be good at playing Yang Qilang.

The two parties only had a preliminary meeting on the spot to gauge each other's attitudes. As for the more specific content of the cooperation, it would be better for Chen Shantong to send someone to discuss it.

Cai Yinong achieved his intended goal and left satisfied.
