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

Chapter 362 Only a genius can play Sherlock

Things in Cannes were basically over, and Chen Linfeng had no time to return home to celebrate. He had to rush to Paris to start filming.

Mark and Van Long have been waiting for more than half a month.

He handed over all matters concerning the domestic release of "Sunset" to Sister Mei and Shen Fei from Huaying to handle together.

By then, Zhang Yimou will be in the country and will be able to follow up.

He completely became a hands-off boss.

"You are so relaxed, leaving everything to others."

Chen Linfeng glanced at Liu Qianqian and said, "I can't get away from here, how about you come?"

Liu Qianqian immediately shook her head, "Forget it. I definitely can't do it."

Everyone in her family knows their own business. She can't even manage her own studio and usually relies on Liu Xiaoli for help.

If we ask her to help Xiaofeng, that would only make things worse.

But speaking of this.

Chen Linfeng thought about it and decided that he really needed one more helper.

Sister Mei is good at negotiation and personnel management, and is even more adept at being an agent.

But the production, including the post-production promotion of the film, still needs to be overseen by Chen Linfeng.

When we were filming TV series in the past, if Long Lin had talent, Chen Shantong would be in charge.

Now in the film industry, there are no similar roles.

Thinking of this, Chen Linfeng called Sister Mei and asked her to pay attention to similar talents.

"Don't worry, Xiaofeng. I'm already looking. Qilin has been recruiting since the end of last year. It's just that it won't be that quick to find the right one."

"Oh, as long as you pay attention."

Chen Linfeng suddenly realized that Sister Mei seemed to have also noticed the problem of insufficient manpower.

Back in Paris, Van Loon and Marc came to greet me.

Fang Long looked at him with complicated eyes, "Xiao Chen, congratulations, you have made another step forward."

"Haha, big brother heard about it too?"

"I see news about you every day in Paris. You are the Palme d'Or winner, the double-Award winner, the creator of perfect art. The media praises you a lot."

Chen Linfeng said cheerfully, "It's all in the past. Let's focus on the current film."

Mark said, "Chen, your winning the award is also very beneficial to Taken. You mentioned this movie that is currently being filmed at Cannes, and I am also cooperating in the promotion. Now there are already many fans who are looking forward to your new film."

Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up, "As expected of you, well done."

"However, it's not just Taken that's benefiting. There's another film that's also using your name to increase its publicity."

besides?

Chen Linfeng thought about it and suddenly said, "Is it Sherlock Holmes?"

“没错，正是他们。”

……

In the evening, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian were switching programs on the hotel TV.

At this time, the cell phone rang and Chen Linfeng walked away to answer it.

"Chen, congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or."

"Su, it's you, thank you for your congratulations."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then got down to business.

Su Weite was very surprised that Chen Linfeng won the award.

Two months before the TV series was to be aired, the male lead suddenly made big news around the world.

This saves a lot of trouble for publicity and promotion. Winning an award is even more effective than their time-consuming and laborious publicity.

She also understood the surprise that Yu Shengming, Zhang Li and others had enjoyed.

That is, before the TV series starts airing, the male lead will win an award first.

So delicious.

Su Weit praised for a while and then talked about the main purpose of this call.

"Chen, when promoting the show, I will focus on describing one concept: Sherlock Holmes is a genius, and so are you, Chen."

Chen Linfeng's expression changed, "So..."

“So this is a performance of genius by genius, and the commonality of genius is much more important than skin color.

There is no other genius in this world who can act better than you, and no other actor who is smarter than you. "

Su Weite said solemnly, "Chen, I hope you can cooperate with our publicity."

Chen Linfeng sighed, "So this is how you guys operate."

After the post-production of "Sherlock Holmes" was completed, the finished film went through three rounds of screenings and the response was very good.

EBRT wants to up the ante.

But the protagonist's skin color has always been a problem, and it is easy for people to pick on him and influence the topic.

But if the concept that "only geniuses are most suitable to play Sherlock Holmes" can be formed among the majority of book fans, then skin color probably won't be a problem.

Yingguang had thought of this before, but had always been hesitant.

After all, marketing concepts cost much more than general publicity and promotion.

Even the British Broadcasting Corporation, a world-class media, cannot make a decision easily.

But at this time, news came from the Cannes Film Festival that after the youngest Golden Lion Award director, the youngest Palme d'Or director also appeared.

If we also consider Chen Linfeng’s past, he has won many titles as “the youngest in history”.

If this isn’t genius, then what is genius?

As the news of the Palme d'Or spreads around the world, the difficulty of marketing will be greatly reduced.

"But even if it's BBC Radio, even with the support of the Palme d'Or, to achieve marketing results, we still need your cooperation, Chen, you can't let anyone know."

Chen Linfeng smiled bitterly and said, "The persona of a genius is the most difficult to maintain."

Especially when marketing your personality like this on a global scale.

"But you're a genius, aren't you?"

Su Weite asked back, "I have read your past resume and deeds. As long as it is not false, anyone who sees it will think that this is an achievement that only a genius can achieve.

Chen, tell me, are those things false? "Chen Linfeng complained, "I don't even know what you are talking about."

“Okay, I won’t deliberately go against your marketing content, but you need to send me a copy of the content in advance, and it can’t be too exaggerated.

I don't want to end up with a ruined character.

If it is something I cannot do, I will deny it directly to the public, so don’t blame me for not cooperating then.”

"No problem, as long as you agree to this marketing method. Thank you, Chen."

"This matter is beneficial to me, there is no need to thank me."

After the call ended, Chen Linfeng returned to the bedroom with a frown.

"Xiao Feng, who called you? Why do you look a little unhappy?"

Chen Linfeng sighed, "I, your husband, am going to become famous."

"what?"

For a moment, she did not bother to refute the title of "husband". Liu Qianqian asked curiously, "Isn't it a good thing to be famous? Why are you so sad?"

Chen Linfeng reiterated what he had just said on the phone.

After hearing this, Liu Qianqian suddenly slapped him hard.

"Why did you hit me?"

"Are you at that... uh, 'Versailles' thing again?"

Chen Linfeng said with a headache, "You don't understand. I just have a better memory. At most, I can memorize books. For example, I learned a few more foreign languages ​​and memorized a few more books on history, literature, ancient architecture, ancient costumes, etc. I am not a genius at all."

Liu Qianqian didn't understand that she was being teased again, so she threw herself on him, "You're still saying you're not in Versailles, I'm going to bite you to death."

"Hey, be gentle, you're such a bitch."

……

Now that Chen Linfeng is back, the crew will of course get started.

On the third day, they completed all preparations and started by shooting some simple content in the venue that had been built in advance.

After waiting for a few more days, the Paris municipal government approved our application for location filming.

The crew of "Taken" officially started filming and released the news.

On the first day of filming, many local Paris media came to interview us.

Not only that, the Paris municipal government, including a deputy mayor, also came for a walk.

This mayor not only came to get close to Fang Long, but also found Chen Linfeng and had a long chat with him.

The Cannes Film Festival is an important event for France. It is impossible to say that Paris is not paying attention to it.

This time, not only did we have a Grand Slam master, but we also had the youngest Palme d'Or director in history.

It is still a hot topic today.

In particular, there have been related discussions recently both online and in the media:

Is Chen really one of the most remarkable geniuses of this era?

In the past, this title was generally given to people in science and engineering.

There are so many geniuses in science.

Even these geniuses are so talented that the areas they explore have reached a level that most people cannot understand or hear.

However, in the fields of liberal arts, art, and literature, there has been little talk of genius.

Because in these fields, it is actually very difficult to judge whether someone is a genius or not.

Most of these emotional aspects do not have an accurate answer.

By the time the world realizes their extraordinary qualities or they have achieved remarkable results, the geniuses are often already quite old.

That is no longer called a genius, but a master.

This time it is different. A double-gold director has emerged, who was generally more than 20 years behind other great directors with the same achievements in achieving this goal.

Including his achievements in novels, acting, music, etc.

The word "genius" was coined for people like this.

Outside of China, especially in Europe and the United States, some people who knew him in the past also thought that Chen was a very cool and powerful person.

But now, after some publicity, I don’t know who did it.

Everyone suddenly realized that this person was so awesome that if one word were to be used to describe him, it would be genius.

When the corresponding discussion gradually spreads and the heat has slightly declined.

Another topic was brought up:
In Conan Doyle's books, the most famous and intelligent detective in the world, compared with Chen, who is more talented?

Compare the characters in the book with people in real life?
This is very interesting.

There have been a lot of discussions about this online.

No one can tell anyone.

Soon, even some variety shows in Europe, including the United States, began to set agendas and discuss similar topics in certain programs.

Of course, they have their own ideas.

Often, famous geniuses from the country now or in history are added for comparison.

What remains unchanged is that Chen Linfeng and Sherlock Holmes, as the initiators of the topic, are generally used as objects of comparison.

The wins and losses between them are uncertain, and when compared with other geniuses, there are also wins and losses.

But to be able to be compared with talented celebrities, he must be a genius beyond ordinary people.

This is beyond doubt.

Gradually, Chen Linfeng's genius personality gradually gained popularity.

Then, it’s the next stage.

Chen Linfeng knew that this wave of marketing was initiated by Yingguang.

Naturally, we can observe the trends of changes in public opinion.

All I can say is, it's breathtaking.

The media hegemony of Europe and the United States is no joke.

Just to promote a TV series, it can spark a big discussion around the world.

Make the concept you want to market gradually penetrate into people's hearts.
