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

Chapter 167 Audrey Hepburn of China
This move actually involves the company's future development direction.

After all, Chen Shantong did not major in film and television production, so he doesn't know much about the relevant professional knowledge.

In the past, the company’s development was relatively shallow, so it mainly participated indirectly in the production of dramas by other companies through co-investment.

Now that our strength is sufficient, the number of dramas we will invest in will gradually increase.

So how to control the crew so that the plot does not go astray or the crew gets out of control requires certain measures.

In the end, the result of the discussion between Chen Shantong and Chen Linfeng was the play-centered system.

The play-centered system is not the script-centered system or the screenwriter-centered system.

As the most important creative person, the director certainly has the right to discuss the plot or modify the script, but once the script is finalized, it cannot be changed casually later.

The main thing is to strengthen the importance of the script.

Considering the invasion of capital in later generations, the script was changed casually for various reasons.

Now that the system has been established in advance, whoever comes to shoot a drama for Dragon and Kirin Company in the future will have a different handling mode, and it is also a good excuse to fool others.

The producers sent by Dragon and Kirin Company will also keep a close eye on the crew to prevent the script from being changed due to off-site factors.

Qian Yanfei, who is currently cooperating more with Longlin Company, is a screenwriter himself and strongly supports such reforms.

Under this premise.

Although the decision to start filming "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" has been made, Chen Linfeng's recommendation has also been adopted to choose the director and action director.

But Chen Shantong was more or less distrustful of these two people. After all, they had not yet established a reputation in the industry.

After much thought, he decided that it would be better to let his son join the crew as well, so that he could at least help monitor the filming results.

Xiaofeng performed very well in the previous drama The Lotus Lantern, and he will star in the two subsequent dramas The Great Tang Empire and The Princess Weiyoung.

By the time "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is broadcast, his son's fame as an actor may have changed.

At that time, it will also be more conducive to the ratings performance of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".

After listening to the reasons his father gave, Chen Linfeng felt that there was some truth in them.

It's just that the time is indeed a bit tight.

He thought for a moment and said, "If I join the crew to film at that time, I will need you to communicate with the crews of "The Great Tang Empire" and "The Princess Weiyoung" to reduce the publicity time accordingly."

In fact, there is also a possible Oscar, but it has not yet been confirmed whether it has been shortlisted, so this matter has not been mentioned.

Chen Shantong was overjoyed, "Okay, I will help you coordinate the time then."

After the two finished their meal, Chen Shantong sent his son back to school.

I happened to meet Liu Qianqian near the teaching building.

She ran over and immediately grabbed Chen Linfeng's arm, "Xiaofeng, I have something to talk to you about."

"What's the matter?"

"Come here and talk."

As he said this, he dragged Chen Linfeng to another place to talk.

Since Chen Shantong was following behind, Liu Qianqian didn't recognize him and didn't pay any attention to the person next to Chen Linfeng.

Chen Shantong asked, "Who is this?"

Of course he recognized who it was, and he said this because he wanted his son to introduce him.

Chen Linfeng introduced the two people, "This is Xixi, my classmate and friend."

"This is my dad."

"Ah!" Liu Qianqian's face turned red.

this... this is...

She quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Uncle Chen. My name is Liu Qianqian. I'm sorry I didn't notice you."

Chen Shantong smiled and nodded, "It's okay, I heard Xiaofeng talk about you, you two can talk about something, I just need to go back first."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said goodbye to Chen Linfeng.

Liu Qianqian touched her face with the back of her hand and felt it was very hot.

In the winter of November, there was sweat on my forehead.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Chen Linfeng didn't want to tease her for fear of making her explode.

"What do you want from me?"

Liu Qianqian gave him a complaining look and said, "Your father is coming, why didn't you tell me in advance? You made me look bad."

No, why should I tell you that my dad is here?
Chen Linfeng tried hard not to complain.

Liu Qianqian exhaled, exhaled a puff of white air, and calmed down a little.

"My mother asked me to invite you to my house." Liu Qianqian said expressionlessly.

Chen Linfeng and Shu Chang came to visit Liu Qianqian's home.

Liu Xiaoli prepared a large table of dishes to entertain them.

Now, several people have finished their meal and are sitting around on the sofa chatting.

Liu Xiaoli took a plate of fruit and put it on the coffee table and asked them to eat the fruit.

Several people were sharing their next plans. Chen Linfeng picked up an apple and ate it, listening to the two of them chatting.

Shu Chang’s ambitions are not that big. She currently just wants to gain a foothold in the field of TV dramas and achieve a successful transformation.

The drama "Drawing Sword" in which she starred this year was unexpectedly a huge success. Although teacher Li Youbin was the absolute protagonist, Shu Chang also benefited a lot.

Therefore, I couldn't have more trust in Chen Linfeng's vision in film and television dramas.

Now she still listens to advice and prepares to strive for Zhao Baogang's "Struggle" which is currently in preparation next year.

It doesn't require a female lead, the second or third female role will do.

In addition, there are Hairun’s own self-produced dramas.

Liu Qianqian said that she is screening some movie scripts and will try to audition for movie actors next year.

She expressed her vision that she wants to move to the big screen in the future and become an internationally renowned film actor.

As she spoke, Liu Qianqian glanced at Chen Linfeng secretly.

Shu Chang was surprised and asked, "You won't take on TV dramas anymore?"

Liu Qianqian replied, "Maybe I will answer less or no calls."

She vowed solemnly, "My goal is to become the Audrey Hepburn of China!"

Liu Qianqian, who has never experienced cyberbullying, is truly youthful and confident, with a clear stupidity revealed in her eyes.

It actually turned to the big screen during the golden age of TV dramas. You have to know that the past two years have been the time when the bigwigs in the film industry fell into trouble.

Apart from these directors, the Chinese film market is almost unwatchable.

The only good one is Stone, which is a male drama with a humorous comedy, and Liu Qianqian can't add it at all.

If we rush in at this time, what kind of movie can we make?

In fact, judging from the experiences of female stars in previous lives, Chinese films are not very friendly to actresses. If they choose the wrong movie, it is easy for them to suffer a long-term setback.

Like the Four Dans and Two Bings, each of them is not very outstanding in the film industry.

Instead, it allows latecomers like Sayuri to take the lead.

Chen Linfeng put down the half-eaten apple and said, "Student Liu Qianqian, do you want me to help you analyze whether you can become the Audrey Hepburn of China?"

Shu Chang clapped his hands. Here it comes. "Xiao Feng's 'Analyze' is coming."

Liu Qianqian had heard the story of Shu Chang and Shi Xiaolong being persuaded by Chen Linfeng, and guessed that he had a different opinion on the path he had chosen, and was curious about what he would say.

"Then please give me some advice, Mr. Chen."

Chen Linfeng asked her to help find a piece of white paper and a pen, and prepared to do the deduction on it.

“Let’s first clarify a concept: why your goals and idols can be called artists.

Audrey Hepburn was first and foremost an actress. In her heyday, she played some classic roles and was recognized by many people at the time and in later generations, so she became a world-renowned artist. "

Chen Linfeng looked at Liu Qianqian, "Do you agree with this?"

"Well, you're right."

"Okay, let's move on. If you want to be the modern Audrey Hepburn, let's not talk about foreign countries for now, because you have to reach the top in China first before you can break out internationally.

Then, if the film can be accepted by the majority of the current audiences and is expected to receive good reviews in the future, then the goal of the first stage will be achieved.”

Chen Linfeng wrote the four words "public recognition" on a piece of paper, followed by two branches, one for the present and the other for future generations.

Seeing how formal he was, Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang couldn't help but become serious as well and came over to watch him drawing on the paper.

"Let's talk about the contemporary era first. Sissi, do you know what the annual movie box office in China is currently?"

Liu Qianqian shook her head.

"It will probably exceed 20 billion yuan this year." Chen Linfeng wrote the number on paper.

“The highest-grossing domestic film, Hero, made 2.5 million yuan, which is a special case and a groundbreaking achievement.

Generally speaking, top movies will account for about 1/10 of the total box office for the year.

What does this mean? The price of a movie ticket is about 20 to 40 yuan, which averages out to 30 yuan. That means the highest-grossing movie of the year has about 660 million viewers.

Even if you act in a national film, only about 800 million people will watch it, which is less than 1% of the total population of the country. "

Shu Chang was surprised and said, "800 million people is not a small number."

Chen Linfeng poured cold water on him, "You've just entered the big screen, can you act in a national master's movie? This year, Chen Kaige's The Promise also mostly uses Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. With so many big names supporting it, plus a high screening schedule, it is expected to make over 100 million yuan."

Looking further ahead, Fang Long's "The Myth" grossed 0.9 million yuan, and "Seven Swords" grossed 0.83 million yuan. Only these three films were worth over million yuan. They were either directed by big directors or had big-name stars behind them.

Starting from the 8th place, it has not exceeded 3000 million. Even if Xixi is lucky and really joins a good crew, the box office will be around 5000 million and the number of viewers will be around 150 million. Even if such movies are starred in 10, only 1% of the Chinese people will know her.

In fact, Chen Linfeng obviously omitted the power of piracy and Internet dissemination.

But it's just a lie. The thing is, none of the people here watch pirated movies, and this is not the era of universal Internet access like in the future, so it's hard to say how many people watch movies online.

Liu Qianqian looked at the strings of numbers written on the paper and frowned, "How could this be? I thought Fang Long and Li Lianjie were very famous."

“That’s because many TV stations in the past have broadcast their movies.”

Chen Linfeng knocked on the table. "To compare the popularity of modern movie stars and TV stars, there is a very intuitive example. They are both top female stars. Do you think more people know Zhao Yanzi or Zhang Ziyi?"

Liu Qianqian raised her hand, "Zhang Ziyi, her Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is very famous."
