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

Chapter 249 The battlefield of top female stars
Originally, in the list of celebrities attending the event that was announced one after another before, five of the Four Dans, Two Bings and One Tianxian had already stated that they would be there, and now Tianxian has also confirmed her intention.

Almost all the top female stars in the country are gathered here, and the scene can be easily imagined.

The media were already excited in advance.

A report came out that evening, analyzing the current situation.

Before "My Love from the Stars", Liu Qianqian had already secured her position as a top female star, on par with the "Four Dan" and "Two Bing" actresses. At most, she seemed a little disadvantaged due to her age and qualifications.

But after "My Love from the Star", the situation reversed.

Four Dan, Two Bing and One Xian were originally mentioned together without any distinction of high or low, but now there is a faint feeling that the first six are there to set off the last one.

If Liu Xixi could have another top drama or commercial blockbuster to help her, she might really be able to rise to the top and surpass all the other female stars.

In this case, the older generation of the Four Dans and Two Bings would definitely not be willing.

We have been competing with each other for so long, but in the end we were overtaken by a new wave. That would be really embarrassing.

Not only is it a matter of face, the ranking of female stars also involves huge interests.

The most obvious one is celebrity endorsement.

It was fine before there was no clear winner among the few people, as everyone had their own ways to win the favor of businesses and enterprises.

But if one person is obviously better than the others, the merchants are not stupid and will definitely choose the most famous one.

This is not something that can be solved by public relations and connections.

In fact, there has been a slight trend towards this starting from this month.

When many international brands or high-end luxury brands choose Chinese actresses as spokespeople, they often give priority to Liu Qianqian.

She will only give away what she doesn't want.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the four Dans and two Bings were satisfied.

What will be everyone’s expressions when facing Liu Qianqian at the Bazaar dinner? Will they start a quarrel with her?
In addition, Xiao Chen's attendance is also worth mentioning.

Xiao Chen has always had a close relationship with Liu Qianqian, and the whole of China knows this.

He will definitely be with Liu Xixi by then, so will the Four Dans and Two Bings temporarily stop fighting for Xiao Chen's sake?

Or could he target Xiao Chen directly and pry Professor Chen away in front of An Qian?

There are so many possibilities.

The editor of this report was obviously excited when he wrote this.

The audience was also very excited.

"An Xi's fighting skills in the drama are quite good, so Liu Xixi should be no weaker, right?"

"It's hard to say. Looking at her appearance, she looks like a fairy. It's hard to imagine her fighting with others."

"Fuck, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me that so many people are here. The pressure is now on Xu Jinglei. Will she go?"

"Yes, if Xu Jinglei goes, it will be perfect."

"The organizers of Bazaar, please do something. Men just love to see women beating women. Go and invite Xu Jinglei!"

Su Mang is certainly not an ordinary person since he can organize a celebrity dinner.

Ever since Xiao Chen and Liu Qianqian agreed to be present, she had keenly sensed the article inside.

This is the battlefield for top female stars, and marketing is so easy to do.

Su Mang has been focusing on convincing Xu Jinglei these days. He first asked friends in the industry to help persuade her, and then he went to her house in person.

It really cost me both personal connections and face.

Just to be able to host a celebrity dinner that people will still talk about decades later.

In the end, he lived up to his expectations and successfully persuaded Xu Jinglei.

In fact, Su Mang’s role here is not that big. The key is that Xu Jinglei herself is interested in it.

In the early days of the Four Great Dan Actresses, she was always the last one.

The media and the audience have often said that she was just there to make up the numbers and that she was able to get to the top because of the support of some bigwigs in the Beijing circle.

Later, Shuangbing joined and she followed suit and was not kicked out.

Now that we have reached a critical juncture, the Bazaar dinner may be given special significance.

If Xu Jinglei had not been present, she might have been excluded from the ranks of top stars one day.

So she had to go.

Of course, these inside stories are not known to outsiders.

Su Mang is keeping the news secret for the time being just for marketing purposes. She will announce it in the next few days and vows to make this Bazaar a classic.

After a turbulent night.

The next day, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian went to the headquarters of China Central Television together.

Many female employees of CCTV came to him for autographs, and quite a few came to Liu Qianqian for autographs as well. He had come here many times before, but this had never happened before.

It seems that Professor Chen still has fans. These employees who have seen too many celebrities can't help themselves.

"Teacher Chen, Teacher Liu, please follow me. Everything in the studio is ready." A staff member guided him to a room.

……

On August 8, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian boarded a plane to Venice.

While they were still on the plane, China Central Television broadcast the interview program in which the two participated yesterday.

This was the first time that An Xi and Professor Chen participated in an interview in China after the broadcast of "You Who Came From the Stars", and countless viewers watched it in front of their TVs.

This interview is a special program hosted by Zhu Jun.

In his opening remarks, he briefly outlined the influence of "My Love from the Star".

This includes various reports and discussion data in major media and on the Internet, as well as the various social impacts that followed, and of course the achievements made in East Asia and Southeast Asian countries and regions.

Li Qingqing looked at the introduction in the short film with emotion. As a "ten-year-old fan" of Feng Ge, she never expected that "You Who Came From the Stars" could reach this level.

At that time, they were in the fan group and just thought that the drama was good and that Professor Chen and An Qian in the drama were good-looking. They didn't expect that people all over the country had the same feeling as them, even foreigners felt the same way.

Wang Shuo was also watching the interview. He had already returned from abroad.

There's nothing I can do. I can't never show up in the country again just because of a bet.

Anyway, we have already completely lost, and the men of Yanjing have to admit it.

He will never say a bad thing about Xiao Chen again. Now he watches his interview just to make sure he remembers it in his heart.

From now on, the men of Yanjing will never bet with others again!

Then the interview officially began.

Zhu Jun: "Xiao Chen, can I call you that?"

Chen Linfeng: "Of course no problem, many people call me that, I'm used to it."

Zhu Jun: "But many people feel that they are different after they suddenly become famous. If they are called 'little' again, will they feel looked down upon?"

Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "I'm not big to begin with, so it's nice to call me that."

Zhu Jun began to help explain, "In fact, I heard that people in the art circle called you Big Chen and Little Chen respectively to distinguish you from director Chen Kaige, so Little Chen is not actually 'little'." Zhu Jun continued to ask, "Did you ever think that "My Love from the Star" would achieve such good results? To be able to top their annual collection charts in so many countries?"

Chen Linfeng: "When we start shooting, we will definitely think of various results, and this should be the most ideal result."

Zhu Jun (surprised): "So you really thought that it would be possible to achieve this result?"

Chen Linfeng: "Of course, otherwise why would I spend so much money to find a special effects company in the United States, find teachers Zhao Fei and Li Jinhui, and also go to great lengths to negotiate sponsorship with so many luxury companies.

These are efforts to achieve the best results that we envision. "

Zhu Jun: "So if there is another production company that follows the model you just mentioned and also produces a TV series, will it achieve the same results as "My Love from the Star"?"

Chen Linfeng: “I can only say that it is possible, but after all, there is already “You Who Came From the Stars”, and domestic and foreign audiences may not be so shocked.

In addition, the reason why "My Love from the Star" can go abroad is because of "The Great Tang Empire". Some foreign TV stations, such as Fuji TV and SBS, have a higher degree of trust in introducing Long Lin's dramas, which is also one of the thresholds. "

Zhu Jun: "So this is a comprehensive project. Even if another company wants to replicate it, it will be difficult?"

Chen Linfeng: “Yes, but limited reproduction should be achievable.

For example, using better filming equipment and camera sense, more refined costumes and props, employing excellent actors, paying more attention to the script, etc.

So if the dramas we make can be of the quality of quality dramas, it should be no problem to at least achieve good ratings and revenue in China.”

Here, Chen Linfeng revealed some inside information.

“If we take into account the domestic and overseas broadcasting fees and various copyright fees, the total revenue of the drama “My Love from the Star” is more than 100 million yuan.

I am not saying this to show off, but to tell my domestic colleagues that big investment leads to big returns, which is possible in the film and television industry. I look forward to them making better works.”

Seeing this, some film and television company bosses opened their eyes wide.

One hundred million!
This is profit, not income!

The little money these companies earn every year, after deducting various rents and labor costs, is probably not as much as the tiny fraction of the 100 million that Xiao Chen mentioned, let alone the 100 million itself.

These people are really a bit envious now.

At the same time, they also began to wonder whether what Xiao Chen said on the show was possible.

The Chinese TV drama circle finally made some splashes thanks to Chen Linfeng.

Wang Shuo opened his mouth wide, looked at Xiao Chen on TV, and said those words of expectation.

I just felt like I had completely lost. From a structural perspective, the gap was huge.

He was originally very proud of his past as a big shot in the film industry in the 90s, but look at Xiao Chen.

This is an attempt to change the direction of the entire industry.

Zhu Jun in the show was obviously shocked. He calmed down and started to ask Liu Qianqian questions as planned.

"Did Liu Qianqian meet Xiao Chen at school?"

Liu Qianqian: "No, it was in 2002. He went to visit Shu Chang on the set of The Story of a Noble Family. Shu Chang and I were the youngest in the crew at the time, and we got along well. After Xiao… Chen went, we exchanged Penguin IDs, and later we often chatted online."

Zhu Jun: "So you two have known each other for a long time."

He smiled and said, "Why am I asking this? Mainly, I want to know how similar An Xi, who was written by Xiao Chen in the script, is to you.

If you two knew each other so early, does that mean that you are like An Xi in real life?"

Liu Qianqian (anxious): "Of course not, that's all Xiaofeng's random writing. I'm not a funny person."

Chen Linfeng interrupted, "That's a narcissist plus a nine-leaky fish?"

Liu Qianqian (staring): "No! You always look down on my knowledge. I have caught up now, okay!"

At this point, Liu Qianqian clearly felt that she had let something slip.

She tried her best to save face, "I was saying that my knowledge is not enough in front of Xiao...Chen. In fact, my knowledge is not bad at all."

Zhu Jun (hiding his smile): "I believe you. So, what does the Nine-Leak Fish that Xiao Chen just mentioned mean? Can you explain it to me?"

Liu Qianqian (rolling her eyes): "The one who slipped through the net of the nine-year compulsory education, that's the term Xiao Chen used to mock me."

Zhu Jun (unable to hold back): "This... is really an image."

At this point in the interview, everyone suddenly felt relaxed, and there was a happy atmosphere both inside and outside.

Li Qingqing rolled on the sofa while watching this.

It’s so funny and so fitting. This is how Professor Chen and An Qian bicker in the drama.

It is self-evident what Liu Xixi's real life is like.

Fans from all over the country saw Professor Chen’s persecution of An Xi (real life version) during the interview.

Laughter that sounded like pigs could be heard from the living rooms of many families.

Among Liu Xixi’s fans.

[Xixi is the most beautiful: No, I mean this Xiao Chen is bullying my Xixi too much, how can he do this? (More)]

[Fairy Sissi doesn’t need to explain: I seem to understand how the two of them get along in private. It’s so good. 】

[Chen & An: I never thought that the talk show on China Central Television could be so funny. Xiao Chen can do more. We love watching it.]

[Xixi is mine: No, what’s going on upstairs? Are we still Xixi’s fan group? ]

[Anxi from Earth: Isn't this group almost becoming a Xingyou group, or a Chen Liu CP group? I haven't seen many people who don't ship it. ]

[Xixi herself: After all, there are more girls in Group 5. Groups 1 and 2 are attacking Xiao Chen, saying that the hatred of stealing his wife is irreconcilable. I am so happy. ]

【…】

After interviewing Liu Xixi for a while, the program returned to its serious state.

Zhu Jun began to ask about the relevant matters of the Venice Film Festival, which he would attend next.

"We have been shortlisted for Venice again. Are you confident that we can make a breakthrough compared to last year?"

Chen Linfeng: "I can only say that I will try my best. There are many competitors this year, including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Takeshi Kitano... They are all hot favorites. Of course, there is also "The Sun Also Rises" directed by Jiang Wen and "Lust, Caution" directed by Li An.

As a novice director, I just hope that I can be as lucky as "My Love from the Star". "

In fact, most of Emily Ken's movies are just well-known, and he doesn't care about them at all.

There is only one biggest enemy, and that is Li An.

Zhu Jun took Xiao Chen's words seriously.

I just want to be like “My Love from the Star”, the “My Love from the Star” in the movie industry, what level would that be?
At least he had to win a big award. He didn't even dare to think about the Golden Lion Award.

“I hope your work can live up to your expectations!”

The subsequent topics discussed were more broad, including plans for their own future, views on the film and television industry, and even views on China's entire cultural industry.

A few hours after the program was broadcast, the plane Chen Linfeng was on stopped.

We set off from China in the afternoon and flew in the sky for ten hours. It was just evening in Venice.

Chen Linfeng got off the plane and took a deep breath of the air of Venice.

Venice Film Festival, here I come!

　8k today, and added another chapter. I can't keep up with it anymore. It's too much.
