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

Chapter 450 Traffic? No!
After spending three days of leisure at home, Chen Linfeng had to get busy again.

The success of "Your Name" was so great that he had previously avoided the attention of the public and the media because he was filming in London.

Now that I'm back, I can't hide anymore.

Along with Liu Xixi, there are countless media interviews and commercial activities waiting for them to appear.

It just so happened that Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian both signed endorsement contracts with Pepsi, and Pepsi was trying hard to bring the two out to meet the public.

Brother Chen, Master Chen, let me, Pepsi, bear the brunt of this overwhelming heat.

Chen Linfeng and Pepsi are old friends, so he accepted their invitation.

At the end of March, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian attended a Pepsi commercial event together.

In order to take advantage of the popularity of "Your Name", Pepsi has specially launched several new co-branded packaging.

In fact, Pepsi has placed advertisements in movies before.

The heroine possesses the hero's body, and goes to Shenhai with his classmates after school to have drinks and eat, and there is a corresponding display.

Pepsi's growth was evident in the month after the movie was released.

Over the years, it has been determined that Chen Liu will not let go, and has been spending huge amounts of endorsement fees, as it can earn more anyway.

At the event, Chen Linfeng recited the advertising slogans and took photos, and the whole process was completed.

This is also what the new contract requires.

Don’t even think about asking him to cooperate in shooting promotional videos or something like that.

Just a few words, don’t drink competing beverages. The brand’s requirements are very low, almost humble.

There is no way, Chen Linfeng has fewer and fewer external endorsements.

If the money had not been paid quickly in the first place, they might not have renewed the contract at all.

If you want to spend money, you have to kneel down to spend it. This is really against the will of heaven.

However, the president of PepsiCo China didn’t think there was anything “rebellious” about it. When taking photos with Chen Linfeng, his face was almost smiling like a flower.

Just look at the large group of media reporters gathered below and you will know that others can’t even spend money.

After the brand event, it is the interview stage.

Liu Qianqian went to take a promotional photo, which has now been completed. She came back to be interviewed with Chen Linfeng.

The two men had a bunch of microphones in their hands and they couldn't hold them all.

Chen Linfeng simply put a few on the table in front of him, then helped his girlfriend get a few, held them in his arms, and that was it.

The media people below were hesitant to speak.

Brother, you covered the media logo on my microphone.

There were also a few people whose microphones were hung up directly, and they felt even more miserable.

But these people didn't dare to say anything more. Director Chen is accepting fewer and fewer interviews now. What if he says a few more words? He might lose his interview qualification.

The public opinion about "Your Name" is so heated that anyone who dares to release one or two news reports will be torn apart when they return.

Of course, Chen Linfeng knew more or less what these reporters were thinking.

He positioned the microphones on the stage so that they were facing upwards. That was considered quite respectful, and Chen Linfeng felt very satisfied.

Those media: Oh, forget it, Director Chen still has me in his heart.

The interview officially begins.

At the beginning, all the questions focused on the box office of "Your Name".

Reporter: "Director Chen, the movie box office has now exceeded 20 billion, what do you think?"

Chen Linfeng: "I'm very happy. Thank you all for your recognition and watching the film."

Reporter: "For other domestic films, the highest box office is only 8 million, which is more than twice as much. What do you think of this phenomenon?"

Chen Linfeng: "You can't say that. The one that took 8 million is Let the Bullets Fly. I love this movie so much. I think it's no worse than Your Name."

"We should not judge a hero solely by box office performance."

Reporter: "What about the later "Aftershock"? It had a box office of 6 million yuan, and "Your Name" is more than three times that."

Chen Linfeng: "Please don't stir up trouble. I really appreciate Director Feng's film."

……

Reporter: "I heard that in several countries including Japan, South Korea, the U.S., Vietnam, and Malaysia, Your Name has won the weekly box office championship.

The media calls him the 'Asian 8-time Champion', what do you think of this title? "

Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't heard the news from Southeast Asia yet. You guys are really fast. It's an estimate, right?

Also, the 'media' you mentioned, aren't they the ones who are saying this?"

He glanced at the mark on the other person's body and advised him earnestly.

"It's from Sina. No, let's not run so fast. Reporting may be biased."

The Sina reporter smiled awkwardly and didn't say much.

The reporters are fed up with it. If you don't give us any information, how can we, the uncrowned kings, write the report when we go back?

They turned their attention to Liu Qianqian.

Reporter: "Excuse me, Liu Xixi, you are the heroine of a 20 billion box office movie and the top domestic female star. Are you excited?"

Liu Qianqian shook her head. "I think I am more of an actor. People only look at my acting skills, not the box office. So I cannot agree with what you said about 'reaching the top'."

The reporter had no choice but to change the question, "As the highest-grossing actress in the country, how do you view this matter?"

Liu Qianqian: "For me, this is an encouragement. I can't just rely on box office success. I should work harder on my acting skills."

Reporter: "From Zhao Linger, Xiao Longnu, to Ji Hanqiu now, you have played so many classic roles. How did you do it?"

Liu Qianqian said sincerely, "With your heart."

Ok?
The reporter's mind was full of questions.

Liu Qianqian smiled slyly, "Just kidding. First, you have to choose a good script. After getting the script, concentrate on preparing. The rest is all up to the director.

The role is jointly created by the director and the actor, and requires the joint efforts of both parties. This kind of thing depends more on luck. "

The reporter asked with difficulty, "But you have been playing good roles all these years. You are really too lucky."

At this point, everyone in the audience looked at someone unconsciously.

Chen Linfeng remained silent, looking forward without expressing any opinion.

……

After asking questions about "Your Name", the reporter asked about Chen Linfeng's follow-up plans.

Chen Linfeng did not mention Leonardo's joining and planned to keep the news secret for a while.

He only said that his next movie would be shot in Hollywood and it would be a suspense film.

He also revealed that the movie was adapted from a short story he had written before.

Everyone was guessing which novel it was. Writer Chen had written so many short stories in the past that it was hard to guess.

In addition, Chen Linfeng announced that "Infinite World" will be released during the summer vacation, which aroused excitement among reporters.

This is also big news.

"Infinite World" is a well-known movie in China, and the public has been looking forward to this movie for a long time.

"Can you tell me the specific time?" a reporter asked directly.

"Not yet. Hollywood has roughly decided on a release date, but we are still unsure when it will be introduced to China."

Everyone felt regretful, not just the fans, they also wanted to see it.

Who hasn't read this novel during school days?

Taking into account the sales of both genuine and pirated copies, it is estimated that at least half of the young people in China have read this novel.

Its influence among the people at that time was no less than that of Jin Yong's novels of an earlier generation.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the youth memory of a generation.

After talking about business, it’s time for gossip.

A reporter asked when the two would get married.

Chen Linfeng replied as soon as possible, but still did not give a specific time.

Liu Qianqian stood aside shyly, not saying a word.

This has somewhat aroused speculation among reporters.

After all, when this issue was mentioned before, the other party always glossed over it.

At least, this matter should be put on the agenda.

The media all seemed a little excited.

Looking at this pair of golden boy and girl who have come from their student days and have always had such a good relationship, now they finally have the possibility of entering the palace of marriage.

Everyone was happy for them.

Who isn’t a CP fan?

Of course, the report still needs to be rewritten.

"Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian agreed to get married this year."

"Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian have already secretly married."

"Liu Qianqian got pregnant and got married with the baby."

These reporters have already secretly thought of outrageous news headlines.

Near the end, another reporter asked a question.

"Excuse me, Director Chen, do you know Han Geng who returned to China from Super Junior in South Korea?"

Chen Linfeng looked at the reporter and thought a lot in his mind.

It’s only 2011, and this is already the beginning?
Of course, he wouldn't be like Wu Jing, saying he didn't know her and then asking whether the man or woman was her.

After all, he did know Han Geng, and in his past life he had been frequently polluted by news reports about him being raped.

Even in this life, I have seen Han Geng.

Chen Linfeng has a very good memory and will never forget.

"Yes, we worked together before the Olympics when we sang "Beijing Welcomes You" together."

The reporter then asked, "Han Geng is now the most popular male star in China..."

He was halfway through his words when he saw Chen Linfeng who was listening in front of him. He suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words.

"He is the most popular male star in China after Director Chen."

Chen Linfeng waved his hand, "It's okay, you can talk about your own things. I am a director now. Even if this is excluded, I am still an actor."

"Um, I want to ask, if Han Geng wants to work with you, as a director, would you ask him to film the movie?"

Fuck, which reporter is this? He is so good at creating topics.

All the media looked at the reporter who asked the question, and they wanted to burn some incense for him.

Sister Mei was standing aside, and when she heard such a controversial question, she wanted to end the press conference as the time was almost up anyway.

But at this time Chen Linfeng answered directly.

"Most likely not."

The reporters were shocked at first, and then suddenly became excited.

It’s not easy, Director Chen did not avoid the problem.

“On the one hand, I prefer to use familiar actors, who are basically known to people in the industry.

Basically, as long as the performance of those who have worked with me is good, I will find them to use in subsequent filmings if they are suitable.”

Chen Linfeng's expression was very serious, "On the other hand, I pay a lot of attention to the acting skills of the actors. Han Geng was from a boy band and has been practicing singing and dancing.

I don’t think his acting skills are better than those of students from Yanying or Huaxi Opera. Unless he has performed very well in other film and television works, I will consider looking for him. "

The whole paragraph is very much in Chen's style. Even if it is a rejection, the reason is still made clear, and it is quite tactful overall.

But journalists are only too good at distilling the central idea.

If your acting skills are not good, don’t come, don’t!

……

After strolling around outside, Chen Linfeng returned home to enjoy the few rare days of leisure in the first half of the year.

And on the Internet, there was already an uproar over his previous interview.

There is no need to say much about "Your Name". Netizens have been talking about this kind of topic since the Chinese New Year and are somewhat tired of it.

Everyone is very interested in Chen Linfeng's new movie.

But after guessing for a long time, I still can't guess it.

Only some book lovers who read a lot and are also movie fans like to talk about this topic.

The topic of marriage comes later.

At the beginning, the couples were almost celebrating, but unfortunately, after the full video of the press conference came out, they realized that the media was making up stories, and the enthusiasm gradually died down.

After all, there is no specific time.

But the real explosive news is the one about Han Geng.

It is indeed a heavyweight.

Han Geng's fans are going wild with anger.
