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

Chapter 198 Stunning Performance and Going Overseas

In the crew of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", a group of actors habitually gathered together to watch TV.

Liu Jia, who plays Song Tian'er, was shocked. She asked the other actors, "Now qualified actors can already play the same role with two people. Are they so similar?"

Zhang Junning was also a little bit unbelievable. He looked at his seniors with doubtful eyes, "I feel like I can't do it. Is my level too low?"

The corner of Fan Shaohuang's mouth twitched, "I'm an action actor."

Zhang Junning looked at Zhao Feihong again, "Brother, what do you say?"

Zhao Feihong turned his head to the side and said, "I am a Peking Opera martial artist."

"Teacher Xiao Qiang?"

Xiao Qiang forced a smile, "I'm not talented."

Zhang Junning finally looked at Liu Dekai. He’s a famous senior actor, so there must be no problem, right?

"Teacher Liu……"

Liu Dekai's face twitched slightly. "It shouldn't be a big problem to do this, but it requires experience. It's probably difficult for young actors to do it."

Tang Ning was puzzled and asked, "Then how did Liu Qianqian do it?"

She did not mention Chen Linfeng's name, but she knew of this genius. She was just wondering how Liu Qianqian, who was also a young actor, did it.

Xiuqing, who had just joined the group recently and was not very familiar with everyone yet, spoke up when he heard Liu Qianqian's name.

"I have acted with Liu Xixi before. Her acting skills were not very good in her early years, but I heard that she improved rapidly later on. Director Xiao Chen taught her acting skills."

"Having someone to teach you and improving your acting skills is one thing,"

Liu Dekai said, "When two people play roles of different ages, older actors are needed to accommodate the younger actors. The requirements for older actors will be higher."

"Oh, then I understand." Zhang Junning felt more balanced now. With the combination of multiple conditions, the situation was not so exaggerated.

I thought this level was standard for actors, and I almost despaired of my acting career.

At this time, he had another question, "What about Director Chen? Is he also the one being taken away?"

Liu Dekai looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Don't think too much about the world of geniuses. It will be cruel to yourself."

I see. I am still a waste.

Zhang Junning became autistic.

Liu Jia and Zhang Junning had a similar mentality. They felt that their future was suddenly dark. How could they compete with these geniuses?

The other old hands were not much shaken as they were used to setbacks. There is never a shortage of talented people in the acting circle.

Some people just have their fortune forced into them. There are some who have never learned acting but can win acting awards right away.

If you think about this every day, there's no point in getting along.

Tonight, several young people were hurt by the word "talent".

Chen Linfeng's Merit-2
After the show was over, the person in charge of the program group asked about the ratings.

The staff handed over a page of paper and said excitedly,

"Boss, the highest ratings reached 13%, and the average ratings were 11.6%. You really have a good idea. Tonight can not only guide the next TV series, but also have such high ratings. It's really a big profit to have such a program."

The leader took the data sheet and looked at it, and found that it was indeed at this level.

He smiled slightly, "You can't say it's all my credit, everyone did a good job."

I'll wait for the data to come out tonight, and I feel relieved.

The audience is so concerned about such a talk show. The ratings of at least the beginning of the second half will be stable. The rest will depend on the quality of the TV series.

Over the next half month, Chen Linfeng worked hard and finally finished filming "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" before "The Tang Empire" was broadcast.

The reputation of the second half of "The Great Tang Empire" has not declined overall, and Ma Yue's role as Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, has won public recognition.

Even Nie Yuan's performance in it was amazing.

In this drama, he plays the role of Crown Prince Li Chengqian, a man with a leg disability.

Although he was the crown prince, he was not liked by his father. Under tremendous pressure, he took the same path as his father and rebelled against the palace.

Ever since Nie Yuan had his bones shaved for the casting of The Return of the Condor Heroes, his acting has become vague and a bit gloomy for some reason.

His role as Li Chengqian unexpectedly had an unexpected effect. He interpreted the image of a man with a disabled body and a slightly twisted mind very well.

The highlight is the scene where he confronts Li Shimin after his rebellion fails.

Faced with Li Shimin's reprimand, Li Chengqian stood up for the first time to refute and even accuse him.

When Chen Linfeng saw it, for some reason, he thought of Zhang Da Huzi.

Perhaps this is also what Nie Yuan wanted to say to Zhang Jizhong in his heart.

"Since you didn't want to choose me, then you shouldn't have given me hope in the first place!"

This association is a bit ridiculous, but to be honest, Nie Yuan’s performance in this section was indeed very brilliant.

There are obviously more discussions about this part online than about other plots, and some netizens think the same as Chen Linfeng.

Someone even photoshopped a picture of Zhang Jizhong onto the screenshot of Nie Yuan saying this, which is really funny.

The media would certainly not miss such a hot topic and reported all the details of the dispute between Nie Yuan and Zhang Jizhong, including many groundless rumors.

Finally, Zhang Jizhong couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to stand up and say that there was nothing wrong with his performance in The Return of the Condor Heroes. Some actors misunderstood and it was not his fault.

He also said that media outlets that spread rumors would be held accountable.

He's anxious, he's anxious.

No entertainment reporter is afraid of this.

They reported more vigorously.

This gossip supported most of the popularity of "The Great Tang Empire" after it was broadcast. In terms of ratings, although the second half was of good quality, it failed to set a new record, and the overall average ratings remained at "15%".

But this is already an exaggeration.

As soon as the ratings were released, the media placed "The Great Tang Empire" on a pedestal.

This long TV series of more than 60 episodes has been able to maintain stable quality from beginning to end, and has reached the top level in the industry in terms of actors, scripts, costumes, props, music and many other aspects.

This is a historical drama of the highest standard that can be seen in China today, and it may be difficult to encounter such a drama again in the future.

From CCTV's perspective, if they make a drama like this, they will be able to meet their performance targets in less than half a year this year.

The leaders of the station are not satisfied with the current achievements of "The Great Tang Empire". This drama has given them hope of going global.

In recent years, China and South Korea have had a lot of exchanges in the field of culture and entertainment.

In the past two years, China Central Television has been worried about the growing cultural influence of South Korea in the country. Now that it has its own impressive TV series, it also wants to promote them abroad.

We are currently contacting South Korean TV stations to discuss the overseas broadcast of "The Great Tang Empire".

Before South Korea, Japan's NHK TV station took the initiative to contact them, wanting to introduce "The Great Tang Empire".

Do you remember Japan's Rina Ishihara? She and a group of Kirin teacher's fans set up a website and launched a petition to introduce Chen Linfeng's TV series. In the end, it really caused some noise and attracted the attention of the TV station.

However, the TV series staff did not take it seriously at that time.

But then, when Chen Linfeng won two Oscars, it also caused a sensation in Japan.

When several things are added together, it becomes very subtle, at least enough to trigger discussion among the TV station's top management.

Coincidentally, "The Great Tang Empire" has triggered a viewing craze in the country, and Japan has also heard of it.

Japan has sentimental feelings for the Tang Dynasty. The emergence of such a high-quality Tang Dynasty historical drama has finally made Japanese TV stations interested.

Of course, there are more factors than just the above. Last year, a certain dog in Japan did not do anything useful. People in Japan, especially those who are left-leaning in the cultural field, also want to restore some relations.

To sum up, we have the situation mentioned above where NHK took the initiative.

Normally, Chen Linfeng would definitely not know about this kind of thing, and it was Fang Hua who told him.

Fang Hua's voice on the phone was somewhat emotional, "Xiao Chen, you played a very important role in this. I heard that the leaders above praised you again."

Chen Linfeng doesn't pay attention to the above matters, and it is better for people in the literary and art circles not to talk about state affairs.

However, it is a good thing that his drama can go abroad. Fang Huagang told him the news that not only Japan has introduced "The Great Tang Empire", but South Korea has also agreed. I wonder if there is any factor from Japan's side.

After all, the relationship between these three countries has always been delicate.

If a drama is broadcast in the three East Asian countries, it will be much easier to enter Southeast Asia.

The rewards brought to him by "The Great Tang Empire" may be greater than he imagined.

Not to mention going international.

The two parts of "The Great Tang Empire" share the same soundtrack. The famous songs copied by Chen Linfeng have been well received in recent times.

After composing the music for the three works "The Lotus Lantern", "The Chinese Paladin" and "The Tang Empire", the public has fully recognized Chen Linfeng's music composition level.

Some media compared him with music masters such as Zhao Jiping and Xu Jingqing, but it did not cause much controversy.

Although he is ranked low, together with Mai Zhenhong, it is enough to illustrate the problem.

Ordinary people don't care much about this kind of title, and the people working behind the scenes are still rarely known in this era.

It’s different for his fans, this is a very noteworthy honor.

Relevant popular science has already appeared in online discussion threads involving Chen Linfeng.

Since the ratings of Chen Linfeng's TV series are very high, most people have watched them. When the related music is mentioned, many netizens will resonate with it.

For the time being, the comments about the soundtrack have not caused widespread response, but over time, the effect will gradually become apparent.

This is how the quality is built up step by step.

Putting aside these long-term impacts, the most direct impact after the broadcast of "The Great Tang Empire" is that Chen Linfeng's identity as an actor has been upgraded again.

One drama was second-tier, three dramas were first-tier, and the time span was only half a year.

This speed is truly astonishing, although some people in later generations have become top stars without having ever acted in a TV series.

But it’s different now. Everyone has to go through the bonus of multiple TV series before they can reach the top. After all, no one can have several hit dramas in a row, and there will always be flop dramas that don’t make a splash.

However, now there is a pervert whose every movie has become a big hit, oh, more than one, Liu Qianqian is one of them.

However, her several dramas were distributed over a period of three or four years, which was a slow process. If we count the two flops in the middle, it actually barely conforms to the general rule.

After all, no one has exploded in just half a year like Chen Linfeng.

Especially in the past six months, he also won the Silver Lion Award, Akutagawa Prize, and Oscar, which makes people question life.

The media calls this phenomenon the "half-year ascension event," which is specifically used to describe this incredible model of being a winner in life.

From the popularity index ranking shown in the comprehensive search index of Baidu Tieba, it can be clearly seen that Chen Linfeng's popularity has been soaring since September last year.

After "The Lotus Lantern", he gradually entered the top ten male stars. After the Oscars, his popularity increased significantly again and entered the top five.

When "The Great Tang Empire" was broadcast, it had reached the third place, second only to the two popular kings Zhou Jielun and Xie Tingfeng.

Up to now, it is almost the same as the previous two.

Of course, the impact of this hit drama on Liu Xixi is also obvious. On the popularity list of female stars, she has risen from the 7th place after "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to the 4th place today.

The top three are Li, Zhou and Zhang from Super Girls. They are indeed too invincible this year and it is hard to compare with them.

Not only these three, among the top ten most popular female stars, 7 are Super Girl contestants. They are the ones who are at the peak of their careers.

In addition, there are Liu Qianqian, Sun Yanzi and Cai Yilin.

In fact, singers of this era are often much more popular than actors. The fact that Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian can make it into the top ten list can really be said to be anomalies.
