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

Chapter 267 New Film Plan (Part )

Liu Qianqian stayed another night that day, and went back early the next morning because Liu Xiaoli was coming back.

Chen Linfeng also has to start busying himself with his own affairs.

"Whiplash" received a pleasant surprise in Venice, and subsequent promotion for the release was much easier.

Chen Linfeng's move to shift a lot of publicity expenses to the film festival proved to be correct.

Then the rest depends mainly on Huaying's operation. In this regard, they are completely familiar with it.

The current film promotion model is still relatively traditional, mainly based on offline promotion, combined with media publicity such as newspapers and magazines.

As for traditional media, especially film and television media, most of them will give face to Huaying.

Moreover, "Whiplash" is a Golden Lion Award winner after all, so there is no guilt in praising it, and the audiences love to watch it. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

Since Xiao Chen is well-known online, there is actually no need to do any publicity.

On the contrary, when Chen Linfeng was promoting the film, he specifically emphasized that this film was more literary, so that fans who came for him should be mentally prepared.

This strategy is the same one used when the novel "Her" was first released.

On the one hand, it is for word of mouth, but also for better screening the audience of art films.

Huaying prepared 400 copies for the film market.

At the beginning, there were only 100 copies of "Crazy Stone", but for the blockbuster "The Warlords" which is scheduled to be released at the end of the year, it is said that 600 copies are prepared.

From the comparison of data, we can see the clue that this number is neither too much nor too little.

The film is expected to be released on September 9, a week later than "The Sun Also Rises".

Both films are art films, and to be honest, they are not competitive enough.

During this period, Chen Linfeng mainly accepted interviews from some media.

Although the show successfully won the Golden Lion Award this time, the domestic media seemed less excited than they were about "My Love from the Star".

Of course, this is the result of comparison. In fact, the media’s propaganda offensive is still very strong.

The six princesses have launched several review programs in a row to talk about what happened during the Venice Film Festival to highlight "Whiplash".

During this period, Xiao Chen was also invited to the show, which was considered to be a great honor.

In fact, the Sixth Princess has always wanted to establish a connection with Xiao Chen, but he has basically focused on the field of TV dramas before.

Now that I have finally entered the film industry, I was even a little surprised for a while.

In the film and television industry, in addition to the movie "Whiplash" preparing for release, the media is also promoting it.

There is another hot topic.

"Struggle", directed by Zhao Baogang and starring Tong Dawei, Ma Yili and Shu Chang, has finally started airing.

In order to avoid the limelight of "My Love from the Star", this drama was moved to September. It is obvious that the production team has ambitions for ratings.

As soon as it was aired, it gained considerable popularity, and the ratings quickly exceeded 5%.

Because the plot is relatively rare, describing the youthful emotions and struggles of the post-80s generation, a large number of young audiences like it.

In addition, as an important figure in the Beijing circle, Zhao Baogang has a great advantage in traditional media and once became the focus of discussion.

Moreover, people born in the 80s have gradually entered society and their voices on the Internet are gradually gaining momentum. The previous "My Love from the Star" and the current "Struggle" have all featured this group of people.

For a time, "Struggle" became the new star in TV dramas.

Naturally, some people compare "Struggle" and "My Love from the Star", after all, they are both popular urban-themed dramas and their broadcast times are so close.

then.

"There's no comparison, it's a bit of a bully."

"Forget it, the cost difference is huge. After watching My Love from the Star, I feel that other urban dramas are a bit plastic."

“Indeed, ‘Struggle’ is good, but it’s better not to compare it with ‘My Love from the Star’.”

Although people on the internet say this, this drama is undoubtedly a hit.

Several actors became famous because of this.

After Shu Chang became an adult, she starred in several dramas and finally secured her position as a first-line actress.

She even called to express her gratitude, and she sounded very happy.

After Chen Linfeng finished the phone call, he felt that it was time to start his own project.

In fact, it has been prepared for many years. Back then, I encouraged Shu Chang to go to a film and television school because I wanted her to act in this drama.

In the first half of the year, he had already written the script.

Chen Linfeng brought the script to Longlin Company and found Chen's father.

"Dad, you should have read this book, right?"

Chen Shantong took the notebook and flipped through it casually.

"Goodbye 1990, yes, you sent me a copy, I have read it all.

I can only tell it's good, but the young people in the company who reviewed the script looked very moved after reading it, so it must be designed more for young people."

Not really, but Chen Linfeng didn’t explain much.

"Well, I want to start this project and shoot it this winter."

Chen Shantong had no objection to this. He confirmed, "You are still the director, right?"

Chen Linfeng nodded hesitantly, "I guess so, but not completely.

I want to find another director to take care of the specific preparation and part of the shooting, and I will be responsible for the other part of the shooting, costumes, props, and camera effects confirmation. "

Chen Shantong was surprised and asked, "You always don't like others to interfere with your creations, why do you let others interfere now?"

He asked with interest, "Which director have you taken a fancy to?"

"Do you know Director Kong Sheng?"

Chen Shantong recalled for a moment and said uncertainly, "Is it the director of the film 'Crossing the Guandong' that was just finished at the beginning of the year?"

"It's him." Chen Linfeng said affirmatively.

After the show "Crossing the Guandong" is broadcast, he will become famous. "He was not famous before. If it weren't for the fact that the female lead Song Jia in our show "The Hidden Man" had also worked in "Crossing the Guandong" and mentioned it in the crew, I wouldn't have remembered him at all."

Chen Shantong asked suspiciously, "Is this person very skilled?"

"Very high, I think you can definitely win him over, Dad?"

This evaluation made Chen Shantong take it seriously all of a sudden.

"What level?"

"He can be regarded as the highest type in TV dramas. I think he can become the future 'Hu Mei'."

"Hiss, your evaluation is really not low."

Chen Shantong said solemnly, "Okay, I understand, I will take it to heart."

"Oh, yes." Chen Linfeng thought of the information he had heard before.

"Director Kong Sheng just started filming a drama at the beginning of last month. It is a tribute to the Olympics and is jointly produced by China Central Television and the Armed Police. We have to wait until he finishes filming before we can contact him."

"I understand," Chen Shantong waved his hand. He was about to make a phone call to find someone to learn about the director's experience and background so that he could prescribe the right medicine.

Chen Linfeng was absolutely confident in his father's ability to build relationships, so he didn't stay long and prepared to go back.

"Hey, wait a minute." Chen Shantong was about to make a call when he remembered something.

"How is your relationship with that girl Liu Qianqian going? Does she still not want her parents to know?"

Chen Linfeng thought of Xixi's recent statement and a smile appeared on his face.

"I should be able to announce it to her mother soon. I can't say for sure during the Chinese New Year, but I should be able to bring her here on New Year's Day so that my mother can meet her."

When Chen Shantong got the news, he was no longer in a hurry and waved his hand quickly.

"No need. It's okay to give them some time. Your mother and I just need to know that you two are making good progress."

On the other hand, at the Liu family, a family meeting between mother and daughter is about to begin.

Liu Qianqian was still too embarrassed to explain it directly, so she started by talking about the issue of career positioning that the two of them had discussed before.

This is still Chen Linfeng’s previous judgment.

"I see. Xiao Chen doesn't think you can win awards by making art films. Did he tell you how he can help you in the future?"

"Mom~" Liu Qianqian was dissatisfied.

"Why do I need Xiaofeng to help me all the time? It's not like I can't get any roles, so why do I always need others to help me?"

"You already belong to someone else, why are you still arguing about this?"

Liu Xiaoli hesitated to speak and ultimately did not say what was in her heart.

She changed her words temporarily, "Okay, I was wrong. Let Xiaofeng help me with the advice. That should be fine. Did he say anything later?"

Liu Qianqian shook her head, "No, I was interrupted by other things later."

"what's up?"

Liu Xiaoli suddenly felt a little disappointed. What could be more important than your future career path?

"Uh~" Liu Qianqian suddenly thought of what happened that day that prevented Xiaofeng from finishing his words.

A feeling of shyness suddenly surged up in her heart, but fortunately her acting skills were good enough that no one noticed.

"No... nothing happened."

Liu Qianqian was trying to cover up her sexual desire and had to change the subject.

I thought about the purpose of coming to chat with my mother in the first place.

She asked as her voice suddenly became as soft as a mosquito.

"Mom, do you think I'm old enough to find a boyfriend?"

"Looking for a boyfriend?" The small voice sounded like a thunder in Liu Xiaoli's heart, and she was suddenly startled.

Don't you already have Xiao Chen? Why do you still need to find a boyfriend?

Combined with what happened just now, Xixi was hesitant in speaking. What could have caused the topic to be suddenly interrupted?

Could it be that these two people had a falling out?

Liu Xiaoli didn't care anymore and pretended that she knew nothing about anything.

She asked in surprise, "Aren't you in a relationship with Xiao Chen? Why do you still want to find a boyfriend? I never taught you that you can be unfaithful to your boyfriend!"

Liu Qianqian was thinking about what to say next. When she heard the first half of her mother's sentence, she spoke with a stutter.

"Mom, you...you know everything! Huh? No, how could I be unfaithful?"

Liu Qianqian knew that there was a misunderstanding and quickly explained, "The boyfriend I said I was looking for was Xiaofeng, no one else."

Liu Xiaoli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Child, please speak more clearly. You scared me."

"You're the one who scared me."

Liu Qianqian didn't expect that her mother already knew about her affairs.

She thought she had kept it a secret all these days, and now she wants to have a frank talk with someone. Isn't she just like a clown?

She complained, "Mom, since you knew it, why didn't you tell me? I have to keep it a secret every day."

Liu Xiaoli tapped her daughter's forehead in annoyance, "How dare you say that without telling me."

Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, the two of them continued talking about the previous topic.

"What's the latest progress between you and Xiao Chen? Otherwise, why would you suddenly come to me to tell me the truth, given your coy personality?"

How come this mother is so perceptive!
Liu Qianqian stammered, "Nothing, I just felt that I couldn't keep it from you for too long, so I wanted to tell you."

Two young boys and girls were in love, so who knew what their situation was? Liu Xiaoli didn't delve into it.

She folded her arms and said, "Now I know. When will you invite Xiao Chen to your house so that I can meet him? When your aunt and grandmother know about it, they will definitely want to meet him."

"Um, let's talk to Xiao Feng first when we have time."

Liu Qianqian used the tactic of procrastination.
