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

Chapter 383 Good News: 66 Times

"Are you having a good time on the set? Has anyone given you any trouble?"

Liu Qianqian shook her head. "They know I'm a movie actor. After I auditioned for Infinite World, some people approached me to get close to me. Apart from being a little boring, everything else was pretty good."

"That's good."

The two of them walked and chatted, then leaned on each other and flipped through books on the sofa, each reading their own book.

Sometimes when they see something interesting, they will recommend it to each other.

Chen Linfeng prefers to lie on Xixi's thighs and watch. He thinks this position is the most comfortable, and the knowledge tries to penetrate into his mind.

Liu Qianqian let him do what he wanted, and sometimes she would try lying in her boyfriend's arms and watch.

Both of them have a bit of literary and artistic temperament and like this quiet feeling very much.

Well, there is an exception when Chen Linfeng wants to play games on the bed.

Today was the same as usual, but just as he was lying on his girlfriend's lap, the phone rang.

Chen Linfeng stood up helplessly and answered the phone.

"Fengfeng!" Zhou Xun's scream came from the other end of the phone.

Chen Linfeng was even more helpless. Could the name be changed?

"Sister Xun, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you pay attention?" Zhou Xun couldn't hide his excitement. "Huayi's stock is now more than 30 yuan."

"Hmm, what next?"

"Then?" Zhou Xun couldn't believe it. "Are you unhappy?"

"Sister, just be happy for a while. There's no need to be so excited. The voice on the phone is cracking."

Ah this.

Zhou Xun was a little embarrassed. Only then did she realize that she was a little too excited.

She controlled herself for a moment, then said affectionately and solemnly, "Fengfeng, thank you so much. I have no way to repay you, so I can only..."

"Stop, just thank you verbally." Chen Linfeng interrupted quickly.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Xun rolled his eyes. "I mean, I can only repay you in my next life."

As if she sensed the other person's speechlessness, she chuckled.

I heard this from Chen Linfeng, which is the difference between repaying in the next life and promising yourself to someone.

But, joking aside, my gratitude is real.

At the beginning, Huayi sold original shares to its celebrities.

Zhou Xun was reluctant to buy at first. In her opinion, stocks were too unstable.

Huayi behaved in a disobedient manner quite often, and she didn't quite believe it.

However, she heard news that Chen Linfeng also bought it.

So, I called and asked about this matter.

Chen Linfeng would definitely not block others from making money, so he expressed his own judgment.

Director Xiao Chen had a very good reputation in the industry, and that was when his title of "God of Stocks" was at its most famous.

Zhou Xun believed it and followed the crowd to buy several million.

At that time, the original shares were less than 1 yuan, to be precise, 0.53 yuan.

Today, it's 35 yuan per share.

It has increased more than 60 times!
It would be strange if Zhou Xun didn't go crazy, as he suddenly became financially free.

She was laughing on the phone, and Chen Linfeng chatted with her for a while.

Then Zhou Xun asked Chen Linfeng when to sell the stocks.

Chen Linfeng didn't say much this time. If the news got out, the impact would be too great.

Zhou Xun said that he would sell it as soon as the risk was resolved.

She is a person who is content with a small fortune and does not seek maximum profit.

Chen Linfeng did not comment.

Zhou Xun felt relieved because he knew that Xiao Chen was a very good person as long as he was not provoked, and he would definitely not let his friends fall into a trap.

The two chatted for a few more minutes and then hung up the phone.

Liu Qianqian looked at him curiously. She vaguely heard a woman's voice just now.

Chen Linfeng didn't explain much, he stood up and turned on the computer.

"Wow, Huayi's stock price is so high." Liu Qianqian exclaimed.

Then, she reacted.

Hey, did I make money?

She took a closer look and sure enough, it was 35 yuan.

Wow.

It has gone up... um...

Liu Qianqian calculated in her mind for a while, but she couldn't figure it out at the moment, but it was a lot of money anyway.

She jumped up excitedly, "Oh, Xiaofeng, I made money."

Seeing Chen Linfeng's helpless expression, Liu Qianqian reacted.

"The person who just called you was talking about this as well?"

"Yes," Chen Linfeng was about to answer.

The phone rang again.

This time it was Shi Xiaolong who called, also to report the good news.

Then there are Huang Xiaoming, Shu Chang...

Several of them were people who had been sold stocks and consulted him for advice.

Although Huang Xiaoming made a lot of money in his previous life because of Huayi stocks.

But he didn't know it himself, so everyone called to thank him.

Huang Xiaoming and other internal employees earn the most because they buy early and at a low price.

Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian were also among those who bought in the first wave.

But later on, when Shi Xiaolong and his friends were there, the price was a little higher.

Later on, when you no longer have to worry about selling, you don’t even need any connections to buy something.

Chen Linfeng doesn’t care much about this. The threshold for making money has already been raised a lot.

Others are different.

The listing of Huayi alone has created many wealthy people.

What Huang Xiaoming could be called capital in later generations was the first start-up capital.

Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian celebrated for a while and then continued to live their lives together.

By early November, preparations for Infinite World were complete and he joined the crew as normal.

What makes "Infinite World" very different from ordinary movies is that the story of this movie takes place in the scenes of some classic movies.

Therefore, when setting the scene, we tried to keep it consistent. Almost all the actors from the original movie were invited.

Fortunately, the previous stories, whether it is "Resident Evil" or "Alien", are not big special effects scenes when put into today's context.

It is worth mentioning that the original story used in the book "Alien" is an original story (the story of the previous life "Prometheus").

But movies are supposed to be about emotions, so naturally the original movies are the best.

Therefore, before filming, Disney specifically acquired the copyright of "Alien" so that it could shoot the film according to the story of "Alien".

In terms of screenwriting, Chen Linfeng did not interfere too much.

He was also worried that he would have the same problems as the original author and be reluctant to change anything, so he deliberately controlled himself.

Of course, after the script is out, it must still be approved by him.

Chen Linfeng's name ranked second.

The screenwriter of "Infinite Worlds" is Stephen Clover, who also wrote "Harry Potter".

This guy can see the situation clearly. His screenwriting style is to try to maintain the characteristics and content of the original work, and he doesn't always think about his own interpretation.

When facing famous writers, he appears to be especially well-behaved and obedient.

Whenever I am unsure about something, I will ask Chen Linfeng for advice.

At the same time, the Russo brothers are also screenwriters, and they often discuss the plot together.

After filming began, Chen Linfeng was not limited to being an actor.

Many times, the Russell brothers would ask for his opinion.

There is no way around it. This is the suppression of their status by the double-Award-winning directors. If someone points out something you did wrong directly on the set.

Not to mention the crew members, even they themselves had to doubt whether there was really something wrong with them.

Rather than undermining the director's authority, it is better to communicate privately in advance.

This is how Hollywood directors are. Unless they are top-notch directors, they have to accept the supervision of the chief producer from above and the big-name stars from below.

If you meet someone like Chen Linfeng, you will be bullied in all aspects. If you don't want to be bullied, then you have to be careful and serve him.

Chen Linfeng would not go too far. He always maintains a kind attitude towards others, as long as they don't provoke him.

……

"Xiao Guo, how do you feel about these few days?" Chen Linfeng asked with a smile.

Guo Fan answered honestly, "It's OK, as long as I can learn something."

As soon as Chen Linfeng heard it, he knew that there was something going on and that he would definitely be discriminated against or alienated.

However, as long as it's not too excessive, he won't deliberately step forward.

It is not easy to learn something.

It is a good thing to be able to keep striving forward in such an environment and have more courage and spirit.

"You originally studied management, which generally focuses on project planning, production management, and post-production marketing. I see that you are quite interested in filming, special effects, and set design."

"Director Chen has also discovered this," Guo Fan nodded. "I think it's more interesting to present the fantasy content in the movie."

To put it bluntly, this is about wanting to be a director.

Yes, among those working in this field, how many people don’t want to be a director?

Especially, the person in front of him is Guo Fan.

He is a figure that cannot be ignored in the domestic film market in the last decade.

"Okay, if you want to learn this, I'll help you make the connections. In addition to what you're doing now, every time the director communicates with the special effects company, you can follow along as my representative and learn more about it."

"Really...really?" Guo Fan almost felt like he had misheard.

Without waiting for a response, he bowed excitedly, "Thank you, teacher."

But for a moment, I forgot the principle of calling by title on the set.

Chen Linfeng encouraged him again and let him go back.

"When you go out, call Shen Ao over."

"Okay, okay." Guo Fan was full of energy.

Then, the students who had signed up for Chen Linfeng's class and followed him to Hollywood for internship were called one by one.

Chen Linfeng asked about their situations separately, and if any of them were not adapting properly, he would make timely adjustments.

These people who came here were all outstanding in school or had achieved success in later life.

Nowadays, everyone is working hard to make progress, and no one is complaining.

Chen Linfeng was very pleased. They would all be excellent tools in the future.

Even if some of this group of people cannot be recruited, it will be a good thing if their level is improved in the future and more good films are made.

During the time on the crew, Chen Linfeng became quite familiar with Emma Watson and Benedict.

On the one hand, Emma is a character that appears at the very beginning, and the two of them spend most of the time in the same scene.

Besides, Emma herself is a big star, so they have a say.

Benedict accepted the olive branch thrown by Chen Linfeng, and the young man soon started chatting.

Others are more or less in awe.

The class differences in Hollywood are no worse than those in China.

Chen Linfeng would not take the initiative to talk, and others would at most try to get close to him, but would not dare to joke like friends.

We are more like colleagues, and it's nice to be able to say hello and chat for a few minutes when we meet.

When filming the first scene, Chen Linfeng discovered something interesting.

There is a clown character in the novel he wrote.

That’s right, the timeless classic Yuanyuan.

Originally, Chen Linfeng thought that it was already this time and there was no need to bring it up specifically and add fuel to the fire.

I didn’t expect that there are such talented people in the crew.

I actually know about that case.

I also know the real-life prototypes of the characters in the book.

Capitalists don’t care about your personal feelings, as long as it’s good for publicity and can create a meme.

Even if it is a Chinese joke, they are willing to give it a try.

So, Chen Linfeng saw a middle-aged Asian woman who looked like Yuanyuan to play the role of the aunt at the beginning.

It was the first time he met her and he almost burst into tears.

But since the facts have been established, Chen Linfeng will not say more.

If you just lament your own reputation, you may continue on the petty path.

As for whether what happened back then will be widely spread with the release of the movie.

Given Disney's ability to create publicity and promotion, Chen Linfeng had no doubts at all.

If he doesn't get it out among the fans and make it known to everyone, what can he eat?

Ms. Yuanyuan, hold on.

It seems your good fortune is still to come.
