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

Chapter 218 New Script

After watching the second episode today, Chen Yu has confirmed the quality of this drama.

He excitedly called his best friend.

"Zhang Yuan, have you seen The Legend of Chu Liuxiang? It's so cool. Xiao Chen is really good. Among the many people who adapted Gu Long's plays in the past, only he made it look so pretentious..."

As for Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian, since they had already seen it, they were going to watch it together again just to get bored.

"Just watch TV, where are you putting your hands?"

"I have such a beautiful girlfriend sitting next to me and I'm just watching TV? I'm not stupid!"

"Hey, you're annoying, stay away from me."

"..."

When Xiao Chang and the others knocked on the door and came out, Chen Linfeng was lying on his girlfriend's soft thighs, enjoying the fingertip massage.

When Liu Qianqian saw her assistant coming out, she quickly pushed him away and pretended nothing had happened, but the blush on her face betrayed her.

She stood up and said in a pretentious tone, "The TV show is over, Xinxin, let's go back."

Chen Linfeng sent the three people out with regret.

The next day, Chen Linfeng went to school. As a senior, there was really no need for him to stay in school.

He had other things to do this time.

"Teacher Wang, are you busy?" Chen Linfeng knocked on the open door.

Wang Rui was reading a book. When he looked up, he saw that it was his favorite student who came. He quickly stood up to greet him.

"Xiao Chen is here, sit down, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

The two sat down on the sofa in the reception room.

Chen Linfeng explained his purpose, "Teacher, I am planning to make a movie next. I have already written the script and would like to show it to you."

Wang Rui was pleasantly surprised. He thought this guy was not in a hurry, but now he finally embraced the art of film.

"What's the subject matter? It should be an art film, right?"

He knew that for students who had just graduated from school, their first feature film often had a strong personal imprint and most of them were author films, or so-called art films.

Chen Linfeng thought about it for a while, "I guess so. I didn't pay special attention to which type it was."

Wang Rui paused for a moment, then said anxiously, "Let me see it."

After taking the manuscript, he ignored his students and just read it on his own.

Although the movie script is not long, it is boring to just wait.

Chen Linfeng left the office silently.

He called Shi Xiaolong first, and they agreed to meet in front of the teaching building.

Coincidentally, Yang Mi just came to the teacher to cancel her leave, and ran into Chen Linfeng standing there waiting for someone.

She greeted him cheerfully, "Senior is here too, I haven't seen you in a while."

"Oh, it's Yang Mi. It's been a while since we last met. I've been so busy filming every day that I'm exhausted."

Shi Xiaolong hadn't arrived yet, so Chen Linfeng simply chatted with Yang Mi for a while.

She hasn't filmed many movies in the past two years and has been in school most of the time.

I never thought that he would become a crazy actor in later generations.

Yang Mi was very interested in Chen Linfeng's filming. "Senior, your new drama is being broadcast recently. Why don't you appear on TV to promote it?"

"When I'm too popular, I usually won't appear in front of the audience, so that people don't get annoyed by hearing my name every day."

"That's right. Recently, the newspapers have been reporting every day about our senior winning the title of Best Actor. We need to keep a low profile."

Yang Mi agreed with what Chen Linfeng said, but she didn't really agree with it in her heart.

If you ask her, she would say that if she doesn't make more announcements while she's still popular to let people know her, she won't have this opportunity again when she's no longer popular.

Chen Linfeng could see that Yang Mi was not being sincere.

He also knows that it is difficult for people to understand his behavior nowadays.

But he doesn't care much about other people's opinions. Anyway, few people dare to say anything behind his back. As long as he is sure that he is right, he will just stick to it.

The reason why Chen Linfeng was willing to chat more with Yang Mi was not because of how popular she was in later generations.

The main thing is that she is still quite diligent and not doing anything too pretentious. She has been able to concentrate on studying at school in the past two years, which really surprised him.

And it has to be said that in the early stage of her career, Yang Mi was considered to have relatively spiritual acting skills.

As a person who has traveled through time and space and been reborn, I have this bad habit. As long as it's not too difficult, I always want to help those who deserve better development.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to teach Shu Chang with earnest advice and dedication, as I did in the early years.

If you meet someone who can give you some advice and have a chat with him, it's good enough.

Obviously, Yang Mi is still a little-known celebrity with little attention. She is most eager for popularity and does not quite understand the good intentions of Director Xiao Chen.

Chen Linfeng didn't say much and started talking about other things.

"Did you watch The Legend of Chu Liuxiang yesterday?"

"Of course. How can I not watch the senior's new drama? Many people in our dormitory are following the drama."

This is true. Apart from anything else, Senior Chen is well-known in the industry for his good vision. When students watch his dramas, they also want to study how he chooses his dramas.

Yang Mi talked about her experience watching the film, "The opening scene of Senior is so cool, the action design of the fighting scenes is very good, whether analyzed from the perspective of strength or beauty, the quality is very high.

Moreover, the rhythm of the first two episodes of the TV series is very good. I haven't read the original novel, but I feel that it is very smooth to watch, and I am curious about the subsequent plot. This has met the standard of a good drama mentioned in the evaluation class.

......"

After all, they are professionals, so when it comes to viewing experience, they have their own set of ideas.

After hearing this, Chen Linfeng felt very happy. After all, the reputation of this drama in his previous life was not particularly good. If the situation could be turned around, it would definitely be his credit.

Although no one knows the contrast between the two, this is where the sense of accomplishment of the time traveler lies.

At this time, Shi Xiaolong hurried over, "Xiaofeng, why are you here?"

He was recently "driven" back to the school dormitory by Chen Linfeng just to avoid being a third wheel and getting in the way.

Unexpectedly, after just a few days, his younger brother felt guilty and wanted to "welcome" him back.

Hey, Xiaolong, you’re a good brother.

Chen Linfeng answered honestly, "I wrote a movie script and showed it to Teacher Wang. He is reading the script now, so he wants to chat with you to kill time." Shi Xiaolong's face drooped, "I don't have anything to talk to you about. I'm going back."

"Hey, why are you suddenly unhappy? You were fine just now." Chen Linfeng has been his brother for many years and could tell at a glance that the other party was unhappy.

Shi Xiaolong scolded, "How dare you say that? You forget your brothers when you see a beautiful woman. Do you know how I have been here these days?"

"Um," Chen Linfeng looked at Yang Mi awkwardly, "How about you go and do your thing first, I'll chat with my brother."

"Yeah, okay, I just have something to do, so I'll go back first." Yang Mi was stunned by this shocking news.

Is Director Xiao Chen in love?

Who is the other party?

Could it be Liu Qianqian?
She thought about it and hadn't heard of any other girls who were close to him, so it could be Shu Chang, which seemed a possibility.

But I really didn't expect that with so many female junior students courting him over the years, Senior Chen was not moved at all.

Everyone almost thought that his sexual orientation was different from that of ordinary people, but it turned out that he might also like a certain girl.

Oh, this girl is so lucky. Yang Mi was so envious, but at the same time, she felt a little lost.

As a senior in the school, it is impossible for her to not have any ideas. However, after implementing them many times without any results, she has gradually given up the ideas that were budding in her mind.

But now that I know someone can take him down, I feel mixed emotions for a moment.

Seeing Yang Mi's back going away, Chen Linfeng put his arms around Shi Xiaolong's neck and "locked the man up".

"Student Xiaolong, you are really good. You told me everything right away."

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I will keep my mouth shut next time." Shi Xiaolong's face flushed red as he patted Chen Linfeng's arm.

In fact, he had a way to get out of this situation, but because he knew that he had spoken too much just now, he simply let his brother vent his anger.

Chen Linfeng did not dwell on it any further. After all, Yang Mi was an insider and would not spread the matter to outsiders.

As long as the reporters don't know, it's fine.

In fact, this is also the difficulty of his relationship with Liu Qianqian. Both of them are the hottest young stars today and are closely watched by entertainment reporters and paparazzi.

It is not easy to meet each other normally, and it is really difficult to keep the news completely secret.

He began to consider whether to buy a house in a high-end community, or simply a villa, to prevent being secretly photographed.

It’s not a good idea to let Xiaolong live in the dormitory all the time.

Shi Xiaolong didn't know what his brother was thinking, so he took the opportunity to change the subject.

"I watched your performance in The Legend of Chu Liuxiang yesterday. It was really exciting. The fighting scenes were quite good. It seems that the action director you recommended is really good."

Well, I’ve heard this from Yang Mi just now.

"That's all? Do you have any other ideas after reading this?"

Shi Xiaolong tilted his head and thought for a while, "Also, the songs are pretty nice, especially the fighting scenes when the protagonists start fighting, which sound very passionate."

That's it?

Chen Linfeng looked at his brother with disappointment. They were both students who had been in college for two years, so why was there such a big gap between them?

I won't give a particularly professional analysis, but at least I can't just speak in plain language like ordinary audiences.

However, he has also become accustomed to Xiaolong's operations. In fact, he understands everything, but he just can't explain it. There is a kind of beauty of an untamed warrior.

This is also an old tradition of the Chen family. Shi Xiaolong is following Mr. Chen.

The two chatted for about an hour, and thinking that they had finished reading the script, Chen Linfeng waved goodbye and returned to the office of the directing department.

Wang Rui had indeed finished reading the script at this time.

He was filled with emotion. While reading the story, he always felt as if his heart was being suffocated by an invisible hand.

Now seeing his students coming back, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever met a teacher like this in the past?"

He stopped talking halfway through.

Everyone knows Chen Linfeng's past. He is a typical young genius. He has always been the top student since childhood. He is also proficient in writing, music, and performance. He does not suffer the pain of learning that most people suffer.

So what is written in this script must not be his own experience.

Wang Rui changed the question, "Does the story in this book have a prototype, or is it completely based on imagination?"

Chen Linfeng thought about what he should say.

"It's definitely not all my imagination. When I was in school, I also met some art students who had relatively troubled periods. I just extracted some characteristics and exaggerated and dramatized them."

"Well said," Wang Rui praised, "A screenwriter must have this ability, to observe every detail of life and then turn it into art."

Chen Linfeng couldn't bear to hear this and quickly changed the subject.

"Teacher, do you think this book is okay?"

"Of course." Wang Rui said firmly.

"You want to use this script to make a movie, let me think..." He hesitated for a moment.

"Why don't you just switch the TV show you were working on and use Whiplash as your graduation project? I'll apply for the corresponding financial assistance for you."

This is what I want.

Chen Linfeng pretended to hesitate and said, "That's not a good idea. It will probably take at least the summer vacation for me to finish shooting this film. By then, when I graduate, I won't have anything to show."

"Hey~ These things are easy to deal with. With your ability, no one can prevent you from graduating." Wang Rui was about to wave his hand to put the matter aside.

Suddenly I figured out that I should finish the film during the summer vacation...

Wang Rui exclaimed, "Are you heading to Venice?"

Chen Linfeng nodded.

"Good fellow," Wang Rui sighed, "Young people nowadays are really bold. They dare to compete for the Golden Lion Award for their first film."

He wouldn't mistakenly think that Xiao Chen was just trying it out. He won the Silver Lion last year, and he was going to participate in the film festival again without thinking about going further. Is that possible?
Geniuses are all arrogant.

"Next year, when Lao Mouzi becomes the chairman, it's a good opportunity. However, several big domestic directors are preparing for this, including Li An, who won the Oscar for Best Director. Don't get discouraged if you can't win the competition."

"I know that. If it doesn't work this time, there's always another time. I'm still young anyway."

Chen Linfeng seemed very relaxed. "But teacher, please don't let the news out. I'm making the movie now just to complete my graduation project. When I submit it to Venice, it's just a try."

"You," Wang Rui pointed at him and said nothing.

This strategy of making a fortune in silence is really not like that of a young person.
