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

Chapter 288: Journey to the West

Liu Qianqian actually wanted to post as well, but was stopped in the end.

It’s not that she is still the kind of actress who relies solely on selling her idol persona.

But the fact that these two people issued such statements at the same time clearly shows that there is something fishy.

When the relationship is announced later, it will be confirmed and the rhythm will be restored.

Of course, I can’t send the big size, but I can send the small size, which is quite satisfying.

On New Year's Day in the past, Chen Linfeng, Shu Chang, Xixi and Xiaolong would get together to discuss plans for the coming year.

This year, Chen Linfeng went to Wu City, and then everyone joined the crew, so they simply chose a day in the crew to talk about this matter.

Shu Chang and Shi Xiaolong have almost reached the first-line position.

They were already very famous child stars. As long as they had two good dramas as adults, they would naturally be able to become top stars.

This is how fame is transformed into real status.

Not to mention the hit TV series "Jingwei Filling the Sea" in which the two co-starred.

Later on, Shu Chang relied on "Struggle" and Shi Xiaolong had "Soldier Assault".

Chen Linfeng’s suggestion is to slowly calm down.

If nothing unexpected happens, this year's "Reply 1990" should be a crucial step.

I'll wait for an opportunity to jump onto the big screen. Don't be in a hurry. There are no newcomers in the Hong Kong industry, and opportunities in the film and television industry will surely gradually open up.

Liu Qianqian asked with great interest, "Don't they have four Dans and two Bings above them? Any good opportunities must have been snatched away by them."

Shu Chang joked, "Isn't the one who deserves the most mention the celestial being? She's the one with the most chances."

"I'm not filming much by myself, so how can I take up that much?" Liu Qianqian said angrily.

The two girls quarreled for a while, and Chen Linfeng continued to talk about something more specific.

First of all, Shi Xiaolong, Chen Linfeng meant that he should focus on the action scenes.

"Costume action dramas, especially martial arts dramas, will probably be dormant for a few years. Xiaolong, you should think more about action dramas that are more realistic."

Shi Xiaolong pondered, "Do you think the audience is tired of martial arts movies?"

Chen Linfeng shook his head, "If there are really high-quality martial arts films, they will definitely watch them.

However, after so many years of development, it is difficult to come up with new ideas in terms of plot and action in martial arts films, so it is better to change track.

Xianxia or high-level martial arts fantasy require too high special effects, which are not something you can handle, so realistic action scenes are the best choice."

Chen Linfeng’s expectation for Shi Xiaolong is to become a new action superstar, which is something he should have been able to achieve in his previous life.

Unfortunately, this aspect was actually missing in the mainland film and television industry in the 08 years after 10.

There is only one series, "Ip Man", which is somewhat interesting.

There is basically no other sound.

Zhao Wenzhuo and Wu Jing of the Mesozoic era had difficulty in their development during their most capable years.

New Metabolism Cat is almost 40 years old now, and it has become a little interesting, but it is also concentrated in online dramas.

Wu Jing has carved out a path for himself.

However, he changed his direction after "Wolf Warrior 2". To put it bluntly, he is not young anymore, and how many years can he still fight at 40?

Therefore, the transformation was done in advance.

When Shi Xiaolong was about to travel through time in his previous life, he seemed to have gained some enlightenment and embarked on a similar path as Xie Miao.

I don’t know what happened to him later.

But it's the same problem. It's a bit late. If it had been 10-15 years earlier, the development prospects would have been much better.

Ten years later, it was the years of great development of the domestic market, and there were too many bad movies. As long as the quality was a little bit better, people could have a good time.

As long as Shi Xiaolong keeps up with this trend, it will be no problem for him to become a new generation of kung fu star.

"The next movie I'm going to make will be of a similar style, just a little more unconventional. When the time comes, you can play a role, Xiaolong, and you can come and watch it.

I can try to be a director later, or I can save up scripts and find a director. The story doesn’t need to be exciting, just a normal policeman catching a gangster, with smooth logic, and add action elements, at least I won’t lose money.”

"I understand. I'll think about it." Shi Xiaolong nodded solemnly.

He is already over 20 years old. He can't rely on his family to guide him in the future. He should be self-reliant.

After talking about Xiaolong, Chen Linfeng turned to Shu Chang.

"I think Shu Chang, you can try acting. I always think you are very talented. I said so at the beginning, and I still think so now."

"I don't feel like I have any talent, so I should act in art films?" Shu Chang said in surprise.

"Of course not. You have been cooperating happily with CCTV. You can cooperate with them more."

Shu Chang rolled his eyes. "Is this what I want? I'm not you."

Chen Linfeng didn't care about the other party's complaints. He had gotten this far and he didn't believe that Shu Chang had nothing to do with it.

“Also, once the contract with Hairun ends, I can set up my own studio and work on my own.

Don't just focus on famous directors when it comes to movies. Like I said before, as long as you avoid the minefields, the movie generally won't be too bad. You need to make your own way. Actually, I can't offer much advice.

At most, when you are unsure, come and ask me. To be honest, I may not be sure. "

His disturbance to the film and television industry will only grow, and who knows if there will be more changes.

Almost all new dramas based on the four great classics will have new directors, and domestic film and television companies have begun to try to change their thinking.

Because Bruce Lee stole a good opportunity from Director Chen, it is estimated that "Detective Chinatown 3" will not appear in the future.

There will probably be other impacts to some extent as well.

And to be honest, in the following years, except for a few, domestic films were really lackluster.

Things started to get a little better after 15.

It is difficult for him to say which film is more suitable for him to act in.

This is also why, this year, Chen Linfeng almost only gave directional suggestions.

There is no need to talk about Liu Xixi. No matter how she changes, she is still the top female star and she is the one who chooses the script first. This is completely different from being banned in her previous life.

No need to worry at all.

As for Chen Linfeng, his first commercial film will aim to seize the popularity of the "Ip Man" series.

As long as it can be released before the end of the year, ahead of "Ip Man", it will be fine.

Let's make a good first move.

Liu Qianqian asked with concern, "How about I help you and play a supporting role?"

She knew that this drama was purely a man's drama, and she said this just to help. Shu Chang also raised his hand and said, "I can do it too. This is your first commercial film, so the more box office you can get, the better."

"Forget it," although Chen Linfeng was very pleased with their desire to help, both Xixi and Shu Chang somewhat destroyed the overall cold and solemn atmosphere.

"Come and play the role of a policewoman for me. Just for the sake of your kindness. I will need your help when there is a chance in the future."

"Okay then." Shu Chang really wanted to do his best from the bottom of his heart.

She is ready for everything except small favors like guest appearances or playing supporting roles.

If you set up your own studio later, you can give part of the shares to Xiaofeng first, or give it to Longlin if that doesn’t work.

I've received a lot of help over the years, and I feel embarrassed to just take advantage of it.

Liu Qianqian didn't have this idea. She had already given the person, so what else could she give?

……

As for the crew, because the progress exceeded expectations, Chen Linfeng simply gave everyone a holiday a few days before the Spring Festival and let everyone resume work after the Spring Festival.

Won a round of applause.

Although I have tried my best to make a good drama, the Spring Festival has a different meaning after all.

Chen Linfeng took advantage of these few days to visit several familiar elders as usual.

When it was Yu Shengming's turn, Director Yu took out another script.

"Take a look at this revised book."

Chen Linfeng took over.

This is the latest script of "Magic Phone", which has been revised many times.

Because of the linkage between "The Lotus Lantern" and "The Sequel to Journey to the West", the character of Sun Wukong has changed a lot, so this "Magic Phone" was very different from the previous life from the beginning.

In addition, some of the opinions that Chen Linfeng has been raising since last year have brought about tremendous changes.

Needless to say, the phone settings are not as good as the originals, at least they still look like they are from the Nokia era.

Instead, it has many more smart phone functions, plus some future function ideas, so it is no problem to cope with current audiences.

The overall script is divided into two parts.

The first part is the story of the male protagonist and the silly girl traveling back to the ancient Journey to the West period through their cell phone.

This story mainly displays the humanistic features of ancient times, and the enemies faced are opponents from the later era when Shanu appeared.

The enemy also got a similar device (codenamed RY30PX) by chance.

The villain also came to this era because of the fluctuations of time and space.

The two sides have become entangled in some kind of time and space, and it is difficult for both parties to return.

The most obvious way is to destroy the opponent's time and space equipment. The villain does not want to find other ways and is determined to do so.

Between the two sides, one side relied on Master Sun Wukong and his disciples to protect itself, while the other side, arriving later, chose to persuade the monster to attack.

Since they know the plot and all have the ability to travel through time and space (only forward), what they are competing for is the ability to set up a trap and who can get help.

If it weren't for the fact that two identical people appear in the same time and space, it would be impossible. I guess when they travel back in time and haven't met each other yet, they will kill you first without knowing you. This kind of plot will appear repeatedly.

Despite this, it became a big brawl in Journey to the West.

This is the climax and one of the selling points of the show.

The battles and fighting scenes between the Monkey King and the monsters are a bit like those in The Avengers.

From small-scale group battles to the gradual formation of gangs and factions, the strategies for the major confrontations between the two sides are all ready.

Of course, there is no Avengers movie yet, so it can’t be considered a gap, it can only be considered a flash of inspiration for screenwriter Xiao Chen.

The script also specifically states that the monsters should be played by the original crew of Journey to the West as much as possible.

I swear to keep riding on the popularity to the end.

During this process, the Heavenly Palace, which was high above and outside of time and space (one day in heaven was one year on earth), could not be disturbed by time and space, and discovered that something was wrong.

So there was one more force.

Some powerful monsters knew that they would be beaten to death by the monkey, and became mortal enemies of the protagonists.

But some of them were won over by the protagonists.

In the Journey to the West era part, the struggle was ended by the Heavenly Court using the Kunlun Mirror magic weapon, and several people who did not belong to this era were expelled.

Just because of an accident, Tang Seng and his disciples were also affected.

In fact, this was done intentionally by the gods and Buddhas. The eighty-one tribulations of Journey to the West had been disrupted beyond recognition, so they simply sent them to another era to undergo trials and complete the tribulations.

The story ends here, with a beginning and an end, and a TV series ends.

It's obvious that the ending left a hook for a sequel.

The sequel to the modern drama also gives a story outline.

The master and his disciples' difficulty in adapting to the modern world is of course the highlight, and the designs of several disasters are quite interesting.

In the main storyline, the villain who returned to the future was not reconciled, so he packed up his gear and traveled to an earlier time in the modern era, wanting to kill the protagonist.

So Silly Girl takes the Journey to the West master and his disciples on her cell phone and travels through time to protect the protagonist.

There are some strange stitching again in this part, but the plot arrangement is relatively reasonable and it looks okay overall.

During this period, Sun Wukong used some means to test and found that the heaven was still there, but it was in an unknown and ethereal place, and even another self was in heaven.

He guessed that because of the special nature of the heavenly realm, the problem of two Wukongs appearing in one era could be avoided.

To put it another way, heaven no longer exists in this time and space.

Seeing the appearance of the Great Sage, the Heavenly Court also sent gods to help, and during the process they talked about old events that happened hundreds and thousands of years ago.

Once again, the wonderful properties of time are demonstrated.

In addition, some foreshadowing was laid in the previous part, such as some of the protagonist's childhood experiences, which were unfolded in the second part, indicating that these were things that had happened.

The time and space drama focuses on logic, which is something that Jiu Nian did well.

The ending is set in the more distant future, in an unknown time and space, where the authorities send people to arrest the villain and take away the time and space device from the silly girl, leaving only the intelligent module.

Throughout the two dramas, the real background boss is one from heaven and one from an unknown time and space in the future.

These two forces were purely set up by Chen Linfeng in order to elevate his worldview.

In case there is a sequel to the same series in the future, it can be used as an introduction to develop the plot.

One is mythological and the other is science fiction, leaving enough space for the screenwriter.
