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

Chapter 269 Looking forward to it
The opening score on a certain platform is 8.9 points, but it is unlikely to rise any further this time, and may even drop slowly.

After all, the group that watched the movie in the early stage was relatively small, and the format was somewhat different from that of the TV series.

Speaking of which, Douban has always had a good impression of Xiao Chen.

The main reason is probably that Xiao Chen is well-known abroad and is recognized by his spiritual motherland.

Therefore, for every domestic film, the rule of -1 rating does not apply to this film, or at least it does not apply to many of them.

On the contrary, the Golden Lion Award gives a little extra points.

Chen Linfeng's fan group still trusts Xiao Chen's publicity.

If you know you don’t like art films, you really won’t go to watch them.

It's just that some individuals, after hearing that the movie had good reviews, couldn't help but go to see it out of curiosity, and came back thinking it was pretty good.

After the fans posted their comments in the group, more people were attracted to watch it. Of course, the subsequent reviews were mixed.

However, in terms of reviews, I was not very disappointed. I was somewhat mentally prepared.

As a result, the movie box office in the first weekend (four days) reached 1600 million.

Public reputation did not decline much during this period.

This means that the subsequent box office curve will be relatively stable.

The box office forecast given by Huaying is that it will be between 50 and 60 million.

Chen Linfeng had no dissatisfaction with this.

Art films, still in this era.

5 million is enough to enter the top five of the domestic annual box office list.

The subsequent development was in line with the curve. When the movie was taken off the shelves one month later, the box office revenue just exceeded 60 million.

Other countries in Asia also started pre-promotion and the film will be released soon.

South Korea had the best box office performance, with a total of over one million moviegoers. Considering the country's average box office of 40-45 yuan, the final box office was about 4300 million.

Neon's is slightly lower, at around 4 million yen, with a box office of just over 2600 million.

In Southeast Asia, the total box office also reached more than 60 million.

With this calculation, the total global box office is definitely over 2 million.

The main regions that provide box office revenue are East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Not only that, it is expected that Xiao Chen will be more popular in these two areas.

When Sister Mei was selling the copyright, the price she offered was not low.

A total of 20 million yuan in copyright fees were received. Adding all the factors together, the profit for a movie is quite high.

Of course, this is not the case for normal film and television production companies.

The movie starring Chen Linfeng can sell so well.

The main reason is that there was a TV series "My Love from the Star" paved the way for it. If the TV series is included, it won't seem so high anymore.

At the celebration party that followed, Chen Linfeng gave big red envelopes to everyone in the crew.

Several key actors and creators each received an additional amount ranging from hundreds of thousands to several million yuan, which can be considered as a way to share the dividends and win over people's hearts.

It is not easy to build a good team, and you can’t just poach it easily.

The rumor about Chen's generosity quickly spread throughout the industry. Almost everyone in the industry vaguely knew that the movie "Whiplash" made a lot of money.

The production companies in the industry are not blind and have noticed this a long time ago.

Although I don't know the exact number, I can roughly guess it.

It must be a lot of money.

Moreover, Xiao Chen's popularity and ticket-buying ability in the entire East Asian region are visible to the naked eye.

Many film and television companies are jealous and want to pull Xiao Chen or Liu Qianqian into their own teams.

Unfortunately, given Xiao Chen’s current status, it is basically difficult for him to join other people’s crews.

Liu Qianqian is also suspected to be tied to Xiao Chen and has not joined any other crews in recent years.

It makes people jealous, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Fast forward a little bit, in October, Time magazine returned to China again.

There is no way. I was too confident before, and now I am being slapped in the face so quickly.

At the beginning of April this year, Time magazine was very optimistic about Chen and asserted that he would make further progress after only a few years of development.

However, who would have thought that just a few months later, Xiao Chen had taken a big step forward.

Not only did his personal popularity skyrocket throughout East Asia, he was also given the title of King of Pop.

In the film industry, he even won the Venice Golden Lion Award, showing his initial mastery.

Although it sounds strange no matter how you say it for a master who is less than 20 years old.

Of course, it is somewhat incredible for a star to appear on the cover multiple times in a short period of time.

So, this time Liu Qianqian and Chen Linfeng are together.

As the combination of "You Who Came From the Stars" and "Whiplash", the two have indeed made a huge impact.

Although Sissi played a minor role in "Whiplash".

The two went to Hong Kong Island together to participate in the filming.

This time, Chen Linfeng failed to hide the news. There were too many people paying attention to it, and the news could easily leak out.

During this period, paparazzi in Hong Kong Island took photos almost unscrupulously, without any regard for privacy.

This was the first time he realized why Hong Kong paparazzi were so annoying.

Newspapers in Hong Kong Island reported on Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian, occupying most of the pages for a while. Chen Linfeng set foot on the land of Hong Kong Island again after a long absence, and his mood and perception were completely different from that year.

The level of attention received is also vastly different.

In order to promote their upcoming collaboration, Yinghuang specially gathered its stars and held a welcome party.

At the meeting, it was announced to reporters and everyone present that there would be plans for a new film, which would be written by Xiao Chen and starred by Fang Long.

It instantly aroused everyone's interest.

"Excuse me, will Mr. Chen appear in the film?"

"Can you give me some general information? Is Brother Fang Long going to be a policeman or an adventurer?"

"Will Liu Xixi be in the show?"

The reporters' questions came one after another, and Yang Shoucheng was there to receive them.

Chen Linfeng continued to drink his beverage as usual.

Xie Tingfeng was not present. I guess he felt traumatized last time and didn't want to meet Xiao Chen again in the near future.

Fang Long raised a glass of wine and clinked it with Chen Linfeng.

"I received the complete script you sent me. The story is very well written. Do you have any suggestions for the two important Chinese female characters, including the female fighter An An?"

This can be considered as returning a favor, and the underlying meaning is to ask the other party to recommend this role.

Chen Linfeng changed his name so obviously, of course he had his own ideas.

He raised the cup and gestured towards Liu Qianqian.

"What do you think of Sissi acting?"

Liu Qianqian was chatting with several female stars under Yinghuang. She saw Xiaofeng pointing at her from afar and tilted her head in confusion.

Fang Long was very happy, "That's great, of course. If she plays this role, it will at least bring in tens of millions more in box office revenue."

At this point, he asked again, "Xiao Chen, do you want to play a role in the movie? If you come, we can expand the role of the second male lead in the plot.

I originally wanted to set up the characters of the second male lead and An An as a couple in conflict, and now that you're here, I can try to change it to this."

Chen Linfeng waved his hand, "Forget it. These two are just fighters. Just fight them well. No need to waste energy on them."

The action scenes and various scenes of the previous life of the Chinese Zodiac are very good, but there are some flaws in the plot twists.

On this basis, Chen Linfeng compressed some of the original plot, gave the characters' motivations for transformation, and added some plots to make it more reasonable.

He didn't want the integrity of the script to be destroyed for other reasons.

Besides, his subsequent plans have basically been completed, which conflicts with the shooting schedule of "The Chinese Zodiac".

After considering these two reasons, Fang Long had no choice but to give up this idea with regret.

Especially for the latter, there is nothing we can do if there is a schedule conflict.

After completing their assigned tasks in Hong Kong Island, Chen and Liu immediately returned to the mainland.

Liu Xixi has been busy with a lot of commercial activities and advertising endorsements recently, which will take time.

Not only that, Chen Linfeng had already given her the script of the new drama.

The new role is another breakthrough for Sissi, and she needs to spend time preparing for it.

Not only her, but also Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang, who were confirmed to be included in the crew, received the script.

Started preparations in advance.

Although Shi Xiaolong's role does not require high acting skills, he is a martial arts actor. It is still very stressful for him to suddenly play a purely literary role.

Shu Chang is obviously more at ease.

As the second oldest sister in the family, with a younger brother, she is the least valued.

As a kind-hearted girl with a somewhat pleasing personality, Shu Chang is almost acting herself out in the role.

So it seems more at ease.

Chen Linfeng's role is not difficult, he mainly writes at home.

The script for "The Chinese Zodiac" actually didn't take up too much of his time.

Because there was a helper screenwriter to help expand the plot, Chen Linfeng only had to be responsible for the final revisions and acceptance.

The focus is still on the second book of "Sherlock Holmes".

After returning to Yanjing, I spent another half a month working on the manuscript and finally completed the new book.

The main content of this book is interspersed with the content of the second season of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Sherlock Holmes 1&2" in the previous life.

The second season of the original "Sherlock Holmes" only used part of the content to introduce the heroine Irene Adler, and then it mainly focused on the case plot in the movie.

Since such a plan had been in place for a long time, when Chen Linfeng wrote the first book, he had the setting that Sherlock had some skills, which was the same as the setting in the movie version.

It connects nicely with the second book, which describes this in more detail.

Coupled with Chen Linfeng's highly graphic description style, the reading experience is unexpectedly good.

At least that's what Sister Mei and Xixi said after watching it.

"Ok, this book is also completed perfectly. Then I will contact various publishing houses to carry out translation and printing work."

Sister Mei went out in a hurry.

She had been following Chen Linfeng's writing progress recently, during the time she went to Hong Kong Island, because she had a feeling that it was almost finished.

We have already notified all places in advance and started warming up for the new book.

Book lovers from all over the world, especially in the UK, have been eagerly awaiting the release.
