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

Chapter 374 Everyone's Eyes Are on Xiao Chen

Chen Linfeng was happy to see the domestic showdown between Fang Long and Xiao Chen postponed.

After all, the end of the peak is different from the real peak period. Fang Long is definitely still far behind his peak period.

After the success of the "Taken" series, Van Loon entered his second peak.

And the fact that Chen Linfeng directly suppressed him and took over the royal power at this time seemed to be more valuable.

He has this confidence.

……

In Zhangye, Gansu, Zhang Weiping read the report in his hand again and again.

The headline "Chen Linfeng becomes famous abroad and rises to international superstar" is very eye-catching.

When he first saw the report, he wanted to throw it away as he had done before.

After all, this man named Chen is his biggest enemy.

She actually wanted to seduce his old strategist away.

But now when he looked at the title again, Zhang Weiping thought of his usual philosophy:

When you use superstars to make blockbuster movies, the stars mean the box office.

He hesitated for a moment, then went to find Lao Mouzi, clutching the newspaper.

"Yimou, I was thinking, let's invite Xiao Chen to play the leading role in the next movie, what do you think?"

Zhang Yimou didn't know how the other party's brain circuit worked and how he could come up with such an idea.

"You're going to invite him?"

"Of course it's your treat."

Zhang Weiping took it for granted. He chuckled.
"You have a good relationship with him, so you will definitely be able to invite him."

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said, "I still owe them a favor. I don't have the nerve to let them give up their own scripts and act in my plays."

"Good idea." Zhang Weiping's eyes lit up. "We can ask him to write the script for us. At worst, we can just give him a little more money."

"That's a nice thought." Zhang Yimou just shook his head.

Zhang Weiping tried to persuade the other party for a long time, but saw that the other party was not shaken at all.

He threw the newspaper in his hand angrily and said, "Xiao Shenyang is so popular this year, I wanted to invite them, but you wouldn't let me.

Now I want to invite Xiao Chen, but you won’t let me. I’ve worked so hard to start the company and help you run all the way. Can’t you be considerate of me?”

Afterwards, Zhang Weiping started doing the same old things again: "losing money at the Olympics", "paying to make the movie", and "good brothers".

No matter how Zhang Yimou nags, if you don’t shoot me, I will go find Xiao Chen, he has money.

……

At the same time, a meeting regarding "Sherlock Holmes" was being held at the Huayi headquarters building.

Wang Zhonglei talked about the grand occasion of "Shen Xia" and the changes in the status of Xiao Chen and Liu Qianqian.

"It will be listed soon. If the results are good, we will also cultivate our own international superstar."

Wang Zhongjun said nothing and looked at the artists present.

Zhou Xun and Li Binbin should be the two most suitable people to promote it.

He was full of confidence and felt that after the company went public, he would have money and resources and would have every hope of replicating Xiao Chen's operations.

Wang Zhongjun began to make plans, "Zhou Xun, Binbin, you two must not be discouraged. After the listing, you will have the opportunity that Liu Qianqian has."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang."

"It's okay, it's just a temporary thing now, I won't be discouraged."

The two of them ate the cake.

Who doesn’t want to try their luck on the international stage like Liu Qianqian?

Feng Xiaogang became interested and said, "If you want to launch a big Malaysian production to be screened overseas, I can help."

Wang Zhongjun coughed and said, "Old Feng, let's wait until the product goes on the market before we talk about it. You should finish the Tangshan Earthquake project first."

The lesson of "The Banquet" is too painful.

Feng Xiaogang's face darkened. "Boss Wang, I have learned this experience once, and I will definitely not make the same mistake again."

If you want to make an international impact, a subject like "Tangshan" will definitely not work.

To say less would require higher costs and the addition of special effects.

Wang Zhonglei advised, "Old Feng, my brother is right. You should first make Tangshan a success, and then you will have opportunities later."

Isn't this just a trick on me? Are you looking for someone else?

Xu Ke? No, he is still filming "The Empire Strikes Back".

Brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun looked at each other.

If you want to break into the international market, Xiao Chen is the most reliable.

They have all heard about "Zhu Xian".

There will also be a day when Long Lin will be overwhelmed by money. If you tell Xiao Chen what happened, they won't believe it because they don't know.

Since you can be moved by money, then after going public, when you have money, just spend it.

The two of them tacitly kept silent and just tried to comfort Feng Xiaogang.

The meritorious old ministers have worked like slaves for so many years, so we still need to say a few words of comfort and ask them to continue working for them.

……

Xingguang Canlan Film and Television is discussing that they must continue to invest money in Long Lin.

First follow Chen Shan and Mr. Tong to make Jing Tian famous in the field of TV dramas.

Then find a way to spend a lot of money on Xiao Chen and let him take Jing Tian to the international stage.

With Liu Xixi as the best example, they had long since given up their initial plan to focus on making movies and chose to take it step by step.

The bright prospects of the future are no longer an empty image, but are embodied in the backs of Xiao Chen and Liu Qianqian.

It will definitely work!
Light Media has also made up its mind to get involved in Xiao Chen's project next time. Xiaoma Pentium, the big dog brother who has just entered the film investment field, vowed to take Xiao Chen as his goal and speed up his efforts to catch up.

Sea salt, Tangren...

……

Chen Linfeng doesn't know yet that everyone in the country is targeting him.

After the event in London, he didn't take much rest and went straight back to the crew of "Taken".

Everything went smoothly on the crew side. Lu Yang had graduated several years ago and had some experience.

With Mark looking after us, nothing serious will happen.

Chen Linfeng checked the shooting results of the past two weeks.

There isn't much content, just some minor footage.

For example, city street scenes, and as mentioned earlier, Taylor’s concerts and backstage scenes.

Then there are some daily shots of the villain gang, which will be briefly edited into the film.

"Yeah, good job."

Chen Linfeng patted Lu Yang on the shoulder to express his encouragement.

Lu Yang pursed his lips happily but said nothing more. He knew that these shots were not difficult to shoot and he shouldn't be too excited.

But when the person praising him is today's double-Award-winning director and international superstar, he can't help but feel a little excited.

After Chen Linfeng had his day off and came back, the crew looked at him differently.

Cao Yu and his friends were particularly excited.

Director Chen has become completely famous in the West, and he may really take root in Hollywood in the future.

They didn't know what Chen Linfeng really thought, but he really wanted to make it in Hollywood and stay there forever.

Just follow the director.

They are now sure of it.

"Chen, congratulations, Sherlock Holmes is really impressive." Mark Gordon complimented.

"Thank you." Chen Linfeng has heard such words so many times that he has almost become immune to them.

"Mr. Mark, Taken is nearing completion. What do you think about the subsequent promotion and theatrical release?"

Mark thought about this question, but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he asked, "Chen, when can you finish the post-production?"

Chen Linfeng pondered for a moment, "At least we have to get through this year, oh, to be exact, after New Year's Day."

He had a lot of things to do afterwards, so he only did the European region for the promotion of "Shenxia", while the plan was to visit all major continents.

Considering that "Sunset" has to win awards at various award ceremonies, it will also take a lot of time.

Therefore, the post-production time of the film will be extended accordingly, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Mark nodded. This was about the time he expected.

He analyzed, “In North America, the Christmas season is very important, but we can’t catch up, and there is another period next year after the awards season.

This period is also part of Emily Ken's winter period, specifically from the first Friday after the New Year to before spring break, and mainly attracts holiday audiences. "

Chen Linfeng said thoughtfully, "You mean to use the award season to promote it?"

"Yes," Mark said with a little emotion, "Whether it's Sunset or Summer of the Gods, they are both popular during the award season. There will definitely be no shortage of topics and they can easily gain popularity."

Indeed, even a commercial drama like "Sherlock Holmes", regardless of whether it wins an award or not, will receive a lot of media coverage due to its own popularity.

"Sunset" is a top candidate for the Oscars and will definitely have no shortage of exposure.

At this time, all you need to do is use the common element of "Chen Linfeng" to carry out promotion and take advantage of the popularity.

Chen Linfeng has done this kind of thing many times in the past.

If "Sunset" can win something at the Oscars, the publicity effect will definitely be better.

Of course, there will definitely be a lot of regular publicity.

The publicity and promotion costs for cinema films in the United States are huge and often exceed the production costs.

Normally, "Taken" cost $3500 million, and its publicity and distribution are estimated to cost at least $3000 million.

According to Mark's idea, if there is popularity to take advantage of, a lot of advertising costs can be saved.

Chen Linfeng agreed with Mark's idea and decided to do it.

"The timing of the Berlin Film Festival is just right, so we can go there as a participating film and see some results. It would be even better if we could qualify as the opening film," Mark reminded.

"Good idea, but let's wait until it's finished." Chen Linfeng nodded in agreement.

The only thing he hasn't won is the Berlin Golden Bear. Although he doesn't expect to get it within a few years, it's okay to build some connections first.

To this day, Chen Linfeng is extremely grateful that he chose to shoot the backstage scenes at the Universal Studios in Los Angeles.

It is located in the northwest suburbs of Los Angeles, almost next to Hollywood.

This way it will be very convenient for Chen Linfeng to participate in various activities without affecting normal shooting.

After August 8, the crew of "Sherlock Holmes" officially came to Emily Ken to launch promotional activities.

Liu Qianqian's scenes were filmed in July, so she was able to follow the publicity team throughout the process.

Chen Linfeng only participated in activities in western Emilian.

Despite this, he continued to become increasingly well-known across the United States.

"Genius", "Sherlock", "writer" and "director" are the four major labels attached to him.

"Narrative Love" has been aired in the United States, and has received a high score of 9.1 from IMBD.

In less than a month, the number of people who rated it exceeded 3.

After the TV station rebroadcasts it and then puts it on video website platforms, the number of ratings will continue to rise.

The ratings are also currently trending upward.
