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

Chapter 363 No One Can Defeat Fang Long in the Furniture Store
These days, Shi Xiaolong in China or other friends all talked about this when they called him.

Similar discussions are taking place in China.

Chen Linfeng specifically asked people he knew in Japan or South Korea, and the situation was almost the same.

Although it has the reputation of the Cannes Film Festival itself and the topic is not sensitive, it is content that the public likes to watch and has some entertainment value.

But it’s still too exaggerated to be able to do such a big thing.

Chen Linfeng was a little frightened, but also a little greedy.

It would be great if I could master similar public opinion creation skills in the future.

Now V is in hand and things are developing smoothly.

Next, in a few months, the first generation of Weibo will be launched.

Chen Linfeng has been waiting for a long time.

He narrowed his eyes, ready to spend money, hoping that Sina would be ungrateful and not refuse his money.

Otherwise, he would have to...

Just spend a little more.

If you don’t believe that there are people who don’t even make money, look at the example of Zuckerberg.

He now has the confidence to use money to attack others.

I am no longer the weakling who wanted to buy Penguin shares but didn’t have the money to do so.

……

"Director, you've become famous again. The Ellen Show is also discussing you."

Chen Linfeng waved his hand to indicate that he knew, and didn't say more.

Ever since the marketing of BRICS began, many people in the crew have been watching the fun and reporting the news every day.

It seems like he is treating the topic of his own director as a joke.

However, most of these people who enjoy entertainment are from China, so they will continue to pay attention to this topic.

Those behind the scenes and actors in Hollywood did not participate in the discussion.

They form their own faction and do not interact much with the Chinese people.

There is a clear distinction between the two.

Chen Linfeng saw it but said nothing.

Although it still seems a bit disharmonious, he won't interfere as it doesn't affect the filming.

At the beginning, Chen Linfeng didn't think that this group of people could get along well with each other.

He originally expected that when the filming officially started, there would always be some accidents, and he would take the opportunity to criticize them.

No matter what you think in your heart, it can't affect my affairs.

But things changed after I won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

Although we still don't communicate much, the visible alienation that existed before is much less now.

Lu Yang has given feedback on this point.

In his words, "My nose was about to be upturned to the sky, but now at least I can look people in the eye."

It seems like they are a group of people who know how to judge people by their appearance.

You know, Chen Linfeng is indeed a double gold director and has attracted worldwide attention.

However, winning the award is not solely up to him, and the increase in fame and status after winning the award will not fall solely on him.

Cao Yu and others in the crew also have double gold awards.

In the eyes of others, they can also be called bigwigs in the industry.

With such a resume, you will be looked up to no matter where you are.

This group of white people used to be Mark's team and they also had a lot of experience.

As industry elites, it is understandable that they look down on crew members from developing countries.

A Golden Lion Award doesn’t tell us much.

But now the news about Chen Linfeng is spreading everywhere.

There was no way they couldn't see it.

With the Golden Lion and the Palme d'Or, a crew that can achieve such results would be top-notch no matter where they are placed.

Naturally, without being arrogant, you will be able to see the other person's level clearly.

As for Van Loong's team, they are easy to convince.

Hong Kong's fighting industry has always been ahead in terms of action stunts, and when there is technical suppression, those people's mentality changes the fastest.

This is also one of the reasons why Van Loon was able to make it in Hollywood in the past.

The team is strong and can suppress the discriminatory mentality in Hollywood, so naturally there won’t be so many petty intrigues that affect the quality of the work.

"Okay, today's filming ends here. Everyone put your things away, finish the finishing touches, and then you can go home."

After Chen Linfeng made the announcement loudly, everyone responded in unison and then went home as usual.

In step and in good order.

As time went by, the crew finally showed some signs of working together.

Call ~
He let out a breath and looked a little worried.

"Xiao Chen, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I just feel like the progress is a bit too slow. I can't shoot for long every day and have to finish."

Fang Long smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The shooting time in Europe and America is limited every day, so we can't catch up. Just get used to it."

In the past, the shooting time would take at most two to three months, but now it will be extended to at least one month.

Chen Linfeng said helplessly, "It's not that I have to work overtime, but sometimes I'm just getting into the groove and end up having to leave work on time, which really affects my rhythm."

When he was in the country, he usually worked overtime at the beginning and made up for it later.

Sometimes the shooting goes smoothly, and if you take more photos, it may save up for one or two days of time.

After all, the actor's condition is an unstable factor.

But there is no other way now, I can only press the button.

This is also the difference between different countries and regions, and Chen Linfeng can only try his best to overcome it.

"Brother, how are you feeling lately? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Fang Long thought about it and said, "It's okay. I'll try my best to adapt."

Everyone has their own discomfort.

The movie "Taken" is quite different from Van Loon's previous style.

It's not just about holding guns.

How to hold a gun, how to shoot, how to do evasive maneuvers, how to look like a professional agent...

During the time when Chen Linfeng went to the Cannes Film Festival, Fang Long had been attending training and practicing these contents. Now, he can do it in a decent manner.

With the help of on-site teaching from military advisers, basically nothing will go wrong.

The difficulty lies in the action scenes.

Past Van Loon-style action films often looked exciting.

But there is no doubt that the traces of tricks are still quite obvious.

The most important thing is that there are few shots in the fight that are fatal with one blow and without any delay.

Fang Long's role this time is so desperate to save his daughter that he has to act quickly, accurately and ruthlessly in a situation where he cannot use a gun.

At the same time, his identity setting also determines that the fighting scenes must make the audience feel that the protagonist is a ruthless character who is accustomed to using heavy hands.

It has to make people feel that the villain is in great pain when being beaten.

These days, Fang Long has been thinking about how to design the actions.

In the filming some time ago, there was only one bare-handed action scene.

That was the beginning of the story. As a security guard, he had to protect a singer from being harmed.

The action style is mainly clean and neat, and some military uniform techniques can be adapted.

The subsequent complex situations are not so simple.

Fang Long chatted with Chen Linfeng for a while, and after they separated, he was still thinking about this matter in his mind.

Whether or not one can come up with a fighting design that meets the requirements is a test.

This was an unspoken agreement between the two of them.

If Van Long can find a solution himself, he will be responsible for the implementation.

He will have greater autonomy later on.

If you can't, then just be an actor and do your job for money.

Having worked for so many years, Fang Long certainly doesn't want to be just a pure actor.

Not only is it a matter of loss of face, but there are also reasons of interest.

Whether you can deeply participate in the creation is related to whether you can get more food at the table.

This is not to convince Xiao Chen, but to convince other investors.

After all, Xiao Chen only accounts for 40%, and now it seems to be becoming a routine.

Everyone is fighting over how to divide the remaining 2% of the next film, Taken 60.

After the Palme d'Or, too many people are optimistic about Chen's films.

Even for a movie like this that hasn't even started filming yet, people are already thinking about its sequel.

Yang Shoucheng called him specifically and told him the importance of this matter.

Fang Long shook his head and continued to focus his thoughts on the action design.

In fact, he has been in the business for so many years and has seen so many types of actions, so he has far more than one set of ideas in his mind.

The key is which one Xiao Chen wants.

He kept trying various movements with his hands, but after playing for a while, he felt something was not right.

It's indeed quite different from his previous style.

It would be fine if he was the only one who felt something was wrong, but it would be difficult if the audience also felt something was wrong and became distracted from the show.

Fang Long used to be an actor, director and producer, so naturally he would consider the subsequent release of the film.

I think Xiao Chen’s positioning is similar to his, and he is also the type who has to take on everything.

Will definitely take that into consideration.

Is that so?

Fang Long's eyes lit up.

He began to understand why he had failed several times in the past when he tried to act out his tricks in front of Xiao Chen.

In other words, it is necessary to maintain the original style as much as possible while also conforming to the settings and characteristics of the new drama.

So what was my style like before?
In other words, what am I like in the eyes of the audience?
Now that Fang Long is here, he must have taken the right path.

But I can't just work on my own, I have to ask others.

He found the people from the Long Family and questioned them one by one.

"Brother, what's your style? You should be a comedy action star."

Fang Long shook his head. Comedy does not fit the style of this movie. It is definitely not this one.

"I feel like it's a daring fight, with so many thrilling moves, it's sure to be a very satisfying show for the audience."

Fang Long frowned, he was having trouble doing any dangerous moves right now.

Xiao Chen also said before that he needs to transform himself as he is getting older, so this is probably not the direction he is heading.

He looked at the other brother.

"I feel like it's the agility of the movements. Isn't the parkour that young people are doing nowadays just learning from the big brothers?"

Ok?
Fang Long had a flash of inspiration and felt that he was getting closer.

I remember Xiao Chen mentioned this in casual conversation before, saying that his movements were very handsome.

He looked at others expectantly.

At this time, Ah Sheng, the youngest member of the team, raised his hand and said,
"I saw a statement online, which seemed to have first spread from Director Chen's blog, and it was about Big Brother."

Fang Long became interested, "What's the explanation?"

Ah Sheng recalled, "It seems that no one can beat Fang Long in the furniture store..."

He checked it in his mind again and said with certainty, "Yes, that's it. It's already a meme on the Internet and has spread quite widely."

Fang Long was a little confused, "What do you mean, I haven't had many fight scenes in the furniture store."

Can you young people say something that I can understand?

Ah Sheng explained, "It's just to praise my brother for being very good at using tools. No matter if it's a chair, a table or something else, he can always do something new with it."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Fang Long thought to himself, this is it!
How to show that he hits hard? Hitting people with something versus hitting them with bare hands will definitely give people a different feeling.

In the past, he always dabbled in it briefly, and even if he borrowed tools, it was always with a bit of comedy element.

In addition, based on the habits of the past Hong Kong film era, such as hitting someone with a chair, the chair might be broken, but the person is still fine.

But the reality is, the chair is fine, but the person will be a bloody mess.

Targeting the vital parts can solve the problem in one go.

Fang Long knew clearly in his heart that this was probably what Xiao Chen wanted.
