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

Chapter 361: The persecuted people, the exaggerated comments of the central bank

Chen Linfeng asked back, "How much do you want? Is 1000 million enough?"

"Oh~ hoo~."

"As expected of Director Chen, so domineering."

Cheng Er and the others started to make a fuss.

"You don't need so much. Do you think the Palme d'Or is just for show? You can save at least 500 million," Pitt interrupted.

Rob nodded. "Indeed, I said before that works that have won the Palme d'Or are unique. 300-500 million US dollars should be enough."

Chen Linfeng nodded. That’s easy.

Anyway, the money will not be paid by him alone. It will definitely be converted into the cost of the film and shared by everyone in the end.

And the amount of overseas copyrights sold subsequently is definitely more than this.

Rob emphasized, "I used the word 'respect' just now, and it's not without reason. During the award season, it would be best for the two directors to also participate in the public relations process.

At various cocktail parties, if there are two directors or even actors and actresses present, the judges will feel truly respected, and the chances of winning will be greater. "

You know, many film crews have now begun to ask big-name leading actors to handwrite invitations to show respect and sincerity.

It is indeed getting more and more complicated.

Chen Linfeng thought about the past few years. During the Oscar awards season, he would attend cocktail parties and always run into scenes from the main creators of various crews. He had an idea in mind.

The others then understood why the director wanted them to listen to this.

Yes, it is mainly to unify thoughts (to get you to work).

Chen Linfeng had heard about these things in his previous life, and since he became a judge, he had also experienced public relations.

For many processes, except for the more in-depth and detailed details, Chen Linfeng had basically heard about everything else.

The same goes for Zhang Yimou. Zhang Weiping has boasted so many times in China that he wants to win an Oscar. It would be too outrageous if he really had no idea about the inside story.

Mr. You Benchang was the first to express his opinion, "Don't worry, directors. If you need me, I will definitely help you."

Lu Zhong nodded. "Winning the award will benefit all of us, so if you can help, just let us know."

Liu Qianqian: “Me too.”

Others also expressed their opinions.

After all, the Palme d'Or is already in my hands, but the Oscar that I haven't won yet is more attractive.

Chen Linfeng looked at Robert and said, "You have seen it too. If you have any requests, just tell me directly. I will do my best to support you."

"Okay, boss. I will also do my best to coordinate this matter for you."

Then they began to discuss which European countries' awards they should participate in first, such as the European Film Awards, the British Academy Film Awards, the French César Awards, etc.

These are the awards that the American judges will also pay attention to, or that the Emily and Ken media will report on.

Then, there are the various Oscar precursors and bellwether awards.

In fact, the British Academy Film Awards mentioned just now belongs to the "British Academy Awards", one of the four major weather vanes.

The other three are the Golden Globe, Broadcast (Critics' Choice Awards), and Guild (various union awards).

There are also thirteen Outpost Awards, which are mainly various film critics awards, divided into four major, four minor, and five major.

Try to participate in these awards as much as possible as long as there are no conflicts in time or conditions.

Then there is the choice of a PR firm and Oscar strategist, all of which require careful consideration.

Starting from the second half of the year, with the arrival of the award season, the main creators of "Sunset" will probably be very busy.

However, both directors have a film to shoot, and Chen Linfeng also has the promotion task of "Sherlock Holmes", so Cheng Er and others, including You Benchang and Teacher Lu Zhong, need to run around more.

Chen and Zhang will not come forward until further public relations are needed.

"After the Oscars next year, I will give everyone a big red envelope." Chen Linfeng made the promise first.

Fortunately, he has always been generous to his subordinates, and everyone is happy to accept his promises.

Chen Linfeng and his team are discussing follow-up matters.

The country is now in an uproar.

The news that "Sunset" won the Palme d'Or spread back to China. After a day of fermentation, it had already spread both online and offline.

Almost all major domestic newspapers reported the news, as did Internet media such as Sina and Penguin. Even right after the award ceremony, a large promotional poster was featured on the front page of domestic portal websites.

Along with the reports, there were also the audience's enthusiastic attitude at the premiere of "Sunset" during the Cannes Film Festival, the program score, and the comments of professional film critics.

And the photo of Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou hugging each other and holding up the Palme d'Or when they won the award.

Chen Linfeng expressed his gratitude for continuing to work hard.

The moment Zhang Yimou wiped away tears after winning the award.

All the guests stood up to welcome the two directors back as kings.

All these things make people believe that "Sunset" winning the award is really natural and well-deserved.

It also deepens the public's sense of reality.

"Sunset" really won the Palme d'Or!
Zhang Yimou won the three major international film festivals!
Little Chen Shuangjin!

The hot searches on various online forums, bulletin boards, and blogs are also discussing this topic.

"Xiao Chen made two art films, and one won the Golden Lion and the other the Golden Palm. Great, that's how we play it, right?"

"I'm a little confused. How come it's so easy for Xiao Chen to win an award? The film festival is run by his family, right?"

"It has to be Xiao Chen, otherwise I don't know when Zhang Yimou will get the award."

"The above person is overdoing it. It's obvious that it was the Imperial Master who helped Xiao Chen win the award."

"The person above is joking. If the national master could win an award, he would have won it in the past ten years."

"Xiao Chen was able to win a second gold medal at this age, it must be because of Director Zhang."

"I say, why are you fighting over this? You've already won the award, why don't you talk about other directors?"

"Pfft, you might as well just say Da Chen."

"That's right. I, Big Chen, feel really bad. I've been showing off with the Palme d'Or for so many years. How come you, Little Chen, can win one too? What? Zhang Yimou also won one? Oh no, I can't beat him."

"Director Li An didn't win anything this time, so it's hard for him to be called the best director in the future. I wonder what else Li Chui can brag about." "He has an Oscar, which is more than what you have. It's impossible to shut up Li Chui."

"..."

The internet quickly went from congratulating and praising directors Chen and Zhang at the beginning to persecuting Chen and discussing whether Li An is still the number one director in China.

The big Chen pot came from the sky.

How come I'm the one being blamed for this when I didn't offend anyone?

Li An is indeed the biggest loser of "Sunset" winning this award.

His status was instantly pulled down from the sky.

After all, this person has never won the Palme d'Or.

It was with this that Dachen relied on to fight Zhang Yimou back then.

Now it is Zhang Yimou's turn to beat Li An with the Palme d'Or.

Even Chen Linfeng made it into the top three and could compete with Li Anneng.

Da Chen is firmly ranked outside the top three. After all, 2>1, and everyone can still tell them apart.

I can no longer use the Palme d'Or to silence you.

Oh, Da Chen can be compared with Li An, after all, Li An doesn’t have the Palme d’Or.

But he has an Oscar, and in the eyes of some people, Oscar is everything.

There are so many formulas and inequalities here that it's dizzying to read.

It has become a topic of endless debate among movie fans.

There were even several discussion threads with hundreds of comments in the Oscar forum.

The big guys quoted from scriptures and fought to the edge of the universe, and the great way was wiped out.

Of course, Director Feng has nothing to do with this.

After all, we are talking about art, what award do you want?

The discussion on the Internet attracted the attention of media reporters.

Sohu tried to interview Dachen for fun, but was kicked out as expected.

This time, Chen Kaige didn't even want to deal with it.

In the next few Beijing circle gatherings, Da Chen and Wang Shuo became good friends who could talk about anything.

This is what it means to sympathize with others.

In addition to the director, the three important actors of "Sunset" all became very popular.

Of course, Liu Qianqian is just there to make up the numbers, although her role in "Sunset" is slightly increased compared to the original work.

But it is obvious that the absolute protagonists are still the two veteran actors.

But who can blame Liu Qianqian for her popularity? She is one of the top female stars in the country.

Now the movie he participated in won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. How can this be possible?
The industry's status has soared again.

This can be seen from the film pay and commercial endorsement fees.

The asking price of 500 million yuan for the film was almost the lowest price before.

Now it usually has to be raised to 600-700 million to be possible.

Now the “Four Dan Actresses and Two Bing Actresses” really seem to be serving as foils for “One Day Fairy”.

You know, even though the pay of stars has increased rapidly in the past two years, the highest paid star Zhou Xun only makes 450 million.

Logically speaking, Zhang Ziyi's pay is the highest, a full 1000 million, but this price is purely out of stock, and no one would really hire her at this price.

Liu Xixi is different. There are people who really want to treat her by waving money.

The popularity of the two is completely not on the same level.

The effects of spending money are also completely different. The bosses are not stupid, so of course they know how to choose.

Because of this, the number of fans who like Liu Xixi is growing rapidly, and the slogans they shout out are becoming louder and louder.

Of course, Liu Xixi's team has done a good job in maintaining fans, and the core fans are trying their best to control public opinion and not be so inflated.

The credit for the film goes to the two directors and the two leading actors.

Although this is the case, such a sober attitude still makes many passers-by feel good about it.

Even when the Sixth Princess was reporting on the relevant content, she praised Liu Qianqian, saying that she was so calm and down-to-earth, and would definitely make greater progress in the future.

However, as far as the actors are concerned, the most obvious improvements are those of You Benchang and Lu Zhong.

These two are veteran actors who have played classic roles in classic TV series before.

You Benchang's "Jigong" is even more well-known and is the childhood memory of young people across the country.

But after performing this play, my life achievements instantly reached a higher level.

This is very similar to Li Xuejian. After performing in "Whiplash", he became a master of performance ahead of time.

The same is true for You Benchang and Lu Zhong.

When the Central China Television News Network reported on "Sunset", it not only mentioned Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou, but also You Benchang and Lu Zhong.

Well, another important person is missing here.

A certain Xixi hit the ground with her head.

In this report, Chen Linfeng became "a famous director, writer and screenwriter in our country. He is a talented and hardworking young man and an important representative of Chinese culture in the international arena."

Once this comment was made, it was almost obvious.

Xiao Chen is a good kid, everyone should take good care of him (Xiao Chen is under my protection, understand?).

There will never be a more exaggerated comment than this for anyone under 40.

I dare not imagine what kind of comments he would get if he won the Berlin Golden Bear and the Oscar for Best Director.

This feels like there's nowhere to go.
