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

Chapter 334 The Promise of 10 Million
According to BBC News, post-production will be completed in two months at most, and the broadcast is expected to be scheduled for July.

Longlin will cooperate in the promotion and distribution in Asia.

This will be Longlin’s focus in the first half of this year, and all employees need to work hard for it.

In fact, when the creative crew of "Reply" was promoting the show in various countries, Long Lin sent accompanying personnel to negotiate with people from various places.

Currently, the progress is going smoothly. As long as the content of the film is submitted for review in advance, there will be no problem in broadcasting it at the same time.

Then the key to the follow-up lies in publicity.

This puts a lot of pressure on the publicity and promotion departments of both Longlin and Qilin companies.

Chen Linfeng regards this drama as a key step in expanding his influence.

Therefore, the authority of the publicity and promotion department was relaxed, and he would cooperate as much as possible as long as the publicity activities were reasonable and effective.

After the New Year, the top executives of the two companies got together and held a meeting.

We specifically emphasize the importance of the "Sherlock Holmes" project and encourage all staff to work hard for it.

Subsequently, some news about "Shen Xia" soon appeared on the Internet, and the preheating began in February.

Of course, as a boss, he is said to fully cooperate, but in fact there are not many times when he is needed.

After the meeting, Chen Linfeng returned to his home in Yanjing.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw little cloud cats meowing around his trouser legs.

Liu Qianqian walked into the living room and couldn't help but complain, "What are you yelling about? I didn't abuse you."

Chen Linfeng squatted down and stroked the cat's head, asking, "Why are you back so early? Why don't you stay at home for a few more days?"

"I can't stay here for another day."

"What?"

Liu Qianqian said unhappily, "How could you not know? You just want to laugh at me."

She took the bag from Chen Linfeng's hand and skillfully hung his coat on the hanger.

"I'm going to the crew of Founding of a Republic in a couple of days. When are you going?"

Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows, "I will also join the group the day after tomorrow, we will be in the same time, it seems that they are ready."

"Then it's great for us to go together." Liu Qianqian said happily.

Chen Linfeng had agreed with Han Shanping in advance that he would have some time after the Chinese New Year to finish filming this scene.

I didn't expect that they were so thoughtful and arranged Xixi to be together with us.

Two days later, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian went to the film and television base where "The Founding of a Republic" was set.

You can see many celebrities arriving at this time.

As soon as he got off the car, Chen Kun waved at him and then walked over quickly.

"Director Chen, you're here. President Han and the others are discussing something inside. I'm here to pick you up."

He also did not forget to say hello to Liu Xixi, "Happy New Year, Xixi."

"Happy New Year, Brother Kun."

The two no longer have the unpleasantness they had on the set of "The Story of a Noble Family". Their original experience, when put in context now, has become quite an interesting story.

Chen Linfeng joked, "I heard that Chen Kun, you will play Chang Jingguo, congratulations."

Chen Kun smiled bitterly and said, "I am almost dying of worry. It's really a bit overwhelming for me to play this role."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just a role."

"You don't know, there are too many big guys in the crew, I feel guilty just looking at them."

As he spoke, Chen Kun let out an "ah", as if he suddenly thought of something.

"I remember now. President Han seemed to have mentioned that this role was originally intended for you to play."

He complained, "It would be great if you played this role. No one would dare to say anything. Your status is worthy of it."

Of course Chen Linfeng wouldn't take it seriously, knowing that the other party was trying to show that he had no intention of stealing the role.

He smiled and said, "I turned down the role directly because I didn't want to play it. I think you are a good choice to play it. It's okay. I support you."

Chen Kun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "You said it, I took it seriously."

The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the filming location.

Chen Kun pointed to the front and said, "Look, Director Chen, Director Jiang, Director Feng, all the big guys are here, and they are all high-ranking officials of the party and the country. How can I not be trembling with fear?"

Chen Linfeng looked up and saw that, indeed, there were also Wang Xueqi, Liu Dehua, Zhang Ziyi, and many other big names.

Han Shanping was talking to a group of directors over there. Suddenly he saw this side, raised his hand and shouted, "Xiao Chen is here, come over quickly."

Chen Kun walked away on his own accord.

Chen Linfeng gestured to Xixi and walked over.

"Boss Han, you guys are here pretty early."

"I'm waiting for you."

Han Shanping said, "You are all directors, so give us some ideas. It's hard to distribute the roles right now, and there are too many stars on KMT's side, so it's not evenly distributed. Do you have any ideas?"

How could Chen Linfeng possibly interfere in such a matter? It would be hard to assign any role.

Now that the news of "The Founding of a Republic" has spread, it has become a major event in the industry.

Any actor would not want to miss this opportunity.

At this point, who would care about that little bit of pay? Not being selected means that there is a lack of popularity, status, or importance in some way.

Everyone wants to get in, but the total length of the movie is limited, so at this point, we must consider eliminating some people.

It's a thankless job, whoever wants to give orders can give orders. Han Shanping saw that the boy was so cunning that he didn't say anything, so he laughed and didn't care at all, as he was just joking.

The other people were also secretly happy. Xiao Chen had been in the business for so long, and everyone knew what kind of person he was. They would definitely not be able to fool him.

In fact, given their status, saying a few words is not a big deal.

But no one wants to offend others for no reason, so it’s you, Mr. Han, and Director Huang who should worry about it.

Chen Linfeng looked at Jiang Wen's changed costume and joked, "Hey, isn't this the Jiang brother who said he wanted to play Mao? I don't think you look like him in this outfit."

Jiang Wen's face darkened, "Hey, you're causing trouble for me right from the start."

Chen Linfeng patted his shoulder and consoled him, "It's okay, you can play Mao Renfeng, after all, we have the same surname, so there's not much difference."

Jiang Wen's expression became even uglier. "How can it be the same?"

He couldn't help but fire at Han Shanping, "I thought I didn't look bad, so why can't I play that role? Not only did you not let me play the role, but you also gave me a job as a spy chief. Isn't that insulting?"

Han Shanping did not answer, but said to Chen Linfeng in a bad mood, "Xiao Chen, stop talking. It's so difficult to arrange a role, and you are causing trouble for me."

He comforted Jiang Wen again, "Like Xiao Chen said, we all have the same last name, so there's not much difference. At least the audience will know what you really want to do, and that you are all serving the people. Please understand."

Chen Linfeng almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Several other people were happy too.

After this little incident, it became a little awkward for a few people to be together.

Last year, Chen Linfeng and Chen Kaige competed with each other, and Chen Kaige was defeated.

Now that he had met the real owner, he did not come up to talk about literary topics like he did before.

There is also Feng Xiaogang, whose If You Are the One was clearly the box office winner of the year, but because the film was released across the New Year, it could not defeat the public opinion and was forcibly counted as 2009.

This matter was a bit frustrating, so he was not in a good mood when he saw Xiao Chen.

Chen Linfeng's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't seem to care at all.

At this level, it is impossible to show dissatisfaction on the surface because of such a small matter. At most, there will be some minor grudges in the heart.

Just chat for a few minutes and it will be over.

Sure enough, after just a while, Chen Kaige started to inquire about Chen Linfeng's nomination for the US Literature Award.

Chen Linfeng told the truth.

"These two awards are actually based on translated versions, so the winners actually have to include the translators. And currently they are just shortlisted, so whether they can actually win the award remains to be seen."

Chen Kaige consoled her, "It's good to be shortlisted. After all, there is a chance to win an award. Moreover, if a translator wants to do a good job in translation, he must have a solid foundation in the original work. A good cook cannot cook without rice."

At the same time, he also asked curiously, "This is your second time to be nominated for the Book Critics Association Award."

"Yeah," Chen Linfeng nodded.

"That's incredible. This year we should have a great chance."

After chatting with Chen Kaige for a while, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but join the topic and asked about the overseas box office of "Police Incident".

Chen Linfeng thought about the data he had just received and said, "Including the box office in Japan and South Korea, it's probably about 4 million.

The copyrights of the films in Europe and America have also been sold. It is not certain how many there will be, but they are all bought out, and we can’t get much money back.”

Feng Xiaogang took a deep breath and said, "My goodness, you earn more outside than in China. Otherwise, you have a lot of face, and your name is recognized abroad."

Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "That's basically it. There is a limit to the growth of overseas box office. Our domestic box office is still growing faster. I estimate that in a few years, there will be a single film that can earn over 1 billion."

Feng Xiaogang shook his head, "You are too optimistic. Let's talk about when you can break the box office record of Big Boat. The 3.6 ​​million figure has been there for 11 years, and no one has been able to surpass it."

When it comes to this, everyone around fell silent.

Even someone as proud as Jiang Wen couldn't help but sigh.

For such a big country, the box office champion of the film market has been occupied by foreigners for more than ten years. This is a shame for film and television people.

Chen Linfeng thought about it and felt that in the second half of this year, "Transformers 2" would push the record to 4 million.

However, this time it is the power of the domestic film market, and 4 million is not a difficult task at all.

He said casually, "Judging from the market situation, this record must be broken this year. If not a film from our country, then a foreign film."

Han Shanping couldn't help but say, "If this is exposed by a foreign film, the situation will be even more unsightly."

"We can just overtake it later. I think Founding of a Republic has a good chance right now." Chen Linfeng is very confident about this.

Han Shanping glanced at him inexplicably, "You have always been very confident."

Chen Kaige said, "It's the first time we made a commercial film, and we got 3 million at the box office. If you include foreign films, the total is over 7 million. We must be confident."

Chen Linfeng shook his head and said, "It's not because of this, I have always been confident in the box office market potential of our country.

In my opinion, everyone present here will be able to surpass the big ships in box office in the future, this is inevitable.”

Everyone was surprised.

Chen Linfeng felt that it was not enough, and added, "In the future, if it doesn't exceed 10 billion, I probably won't be called a big director anymore."

Jiang Wen shouted, "That's over. I think what you said before is possible. One billion is too much."

Chen Linfeng said seriously, "Not much. A big country should have this size."

He suggested with interest, "How about we make a pact to see who reaches 10 billion box office first and who fails to reach that number in the end?"

Several directors present were silent for a moment.

In the end, it was Chen Kaige who stood up first. He has always been proud, and no matter whether his confidence is true or not, he has no lack of confidence.

"Okay, that's interesting, I'll join in."
