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

Chapter 184 Nolan
Wang Yanping saw her son looking listless and slapped him on the back, "Man, why are you sighing in the broad daylight? If you envy your brother, then work harder."

Mother and son are connected by heart, and Chen's mother knew what he was thinking at a glance.

Chen Shantong didn't care. He thought that this kid's mood would only last for a while and he would be fine after a while.

He dialed Chen Linfeng's number.

"Xiaofeng, have you started walking the red carpet yet?"

"Not yet. I'm just about to get off the car and walk towards the venue."

"Well, fine, I'm just asking. I won't bother you. Please get off the car."

Chen Linfeng from the United States hung up the phone, waved to Sister Mei and Xiao Chang in the car, and walked towards the venue under the guidance of the people sent by Disney.

As an invited guest, to enter the Oscar awards ceremony venue, all you need is a ticket with the guest's name printed on it and the guest's [photo ID], as long as the two match.

Of course, it might work if some big-name celebrities use their faces.

After verification, Chen Linfeng entered the periphery of the venue and was guided by staff to ensure the frequency and order of each star passing through the star channel.

Chen Linfeng was standing there waiting bored, when someone came up to him and greeted him.

"Excuse me, are you Chen who wrote "Infinite World"?"

"Yes."

Chen Linfeng turned around and saw that he recognized the person.

Sure enough, the other person introduced himself, "I'm Christopher Nolan, a director."

Chen Linfeng shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Mr. Nolan. I like both your Memento and The Dark Knight."

"Oh, really? That's really exciting." Nolan was very excited.
“I also like your book Infinite Worlds. Of course, my favorite is one of your novellas, Inception.”

He waved his hands exaggeratedly, "How did you come up with such a wonderful story? I love her so much."

Chen Linfeng couldn't say that he was a reborn person.

When he wrote this novel, even "Paprika" had not yet been published. It was truly groundbreaking.

"I can't really say how I came up with this idea. Maybe I just dreamed about it."

"Ha, I like that reason."

Nolan seemed to be in a good mood for the conversation, and he kept praising the other party's ingenious design in the story.

"Especially the visuals in the novel are so stunning that I can even imagine what it would look like if it were made into a movie."

At this point, Nolan asked casually, "I wonder if you are interested in adapting it into a movie? I'm sure it will be a good work."

Chen Linfeng was not at all surprised when he said this.

"I haven't considered this yet, because I hope to create it myself one day. A director can't miss a good story, right?"

"Oh, I forgot you're a director. You came to the Oscars this year just to get a nomination, I'm sorry, I got carried away."

Nolan was a little annoyed. When he first saw this story, he was determined to get the adaptation rights.

Who would have thought that the original author was not satisfied with just writing the story and started directing it himself.

If it were any other foreign writer, he could try some tricks, or simply bypass copyright and start filming secretly.

Hollywood does this a lot.

But this method doesn't work on Chen, who is a famous screenwriter who has established himself in Hollywood. He is also a Disney employee and has cooperation with Fox. Strictly speaking, he is one of Disney's own.

Nolan thought that maybe he could try to persuade someone through other channels, but he would definitely not be able to achieve his goal today.

He chatted for a few more words and left with an excuse.

Since Nolan took the initiative to make acquaintances, other stars naturally also recognized this popular writer and screenwriter, and many of them came to make their acquaintance.

After chatting with a few people, Chen Linfeng saw Zhang Ziyi waiting, and Yang Ziqiong and her crew members were also there. They should have just arrived. He walked over and said hello.

Zhang Ziyi said in surprise, "I've always heard that writer Xiao Chen was also nominated, and I wanted to congratulate you, but unfortunately I never got to meet you."

"It's okay. We have met now. Congratulations to you guys."

Zhang Ziyi looked behind Chen Linfeng and asked in confusion, "Are you walking the red carpet alone? Without someone to go with you?"

"Yes, but I guess he hasn't come yet."

"That's it."

Zhang Ziyi said regretfully.

She actually came in quite early and saw the stars actively making friends with each other in the corner.

Only then did Zhang Ziyi realize that the rumors about this writer Xiao Chen being successful in Hollywood were not false.

Therefore, she tried to get close to him and kept talking about domestic topics. In such a foreign country, a common identity could greatly increase favorability.

Chen Linfeng didn’t know what the other person was thinking, but in such an occasion, meeting someone from his own country would indeed make him feel more relaxed.

At this time, Scarlett Johansson came over in a red evening gown, with an apologetic look on her face, "Sorry, Chen, I'm a little late."

"The timing is just right." Chen Linfeng comforted her and praised her, "The clothes are beautiful, and the person is beautiful too."

Scarlett smiled, "Thank you, you're handsome too, Chen. I feel like I'm bewitched."

Chen Linfeng laughed.

The two chatted about recent developments.

In the early stage of her film career, Scarlett mainly starred in art films to win awards. In the past two years, she has received several Golden Globe nominations, which is not bad.

But her appearance is really not suitable for the heroine of art films. The judges would naturally think that people with too good looks usually don't have good acting skills.

Scarlett has gradually realized this problem and has begun to turn to commercial films.

At this point, she looked at Chen Linfeng with her eyes rolling, "I heard that the "Night at the Museum" written and written by you is now in preparation. Do I have a chance?"

The hidden meaning, of course, is asking whether I can recommend her.

Chen Linfeng told him truthfully, "There is a role of a female teacher in it, but you are too young and may not be suitable for it.

I can recommend you to audition, but whether it will work out depends on the director’s opinion.”

Scarlett can definitely play this kind of vase role, and her beauty may even boost the box office. It won't be a big deal if she mentions something to the crew.

But we can't be too sure. Who knows if other actresses have any hard connections?

Scarlett didn't expect such a pleasant surprise, and she quickly thanked him. Her eyes became watery when she looked at Chen Linfeng.

"Thank you, Chen. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

"I don't know if it will be successful yet, so it's a little early to thank me now. If you do get the role, you can consider it a small favor.

If I ever have the opportunity to direct a movie in Hollywood, if it’s suitable, I’d just like you to play a role in my crew.”

"No problem." Scarlett agreed readily. After all, the future was unknown and no one knew whether there would be such a movie.

Besides, it’s hard to say whether I can maintain my current status at that time. Maybe I can use this as an opportunity to turn things around.

Both of them felt that they had made a profit and were all smiles.

The stars have been walking the red carpet one after another. Generally speaking, the further back one goes, the higher their status. The two of them being in the middle and back of the group can be considered to be able to better reflect their status.

After a while, Zhang Ziyi and the others walked out first, and then it was Chen Linfeng's turn.
