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

Chapter 452: Traffic star admission principle, personality has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
On the next day, a large number of media outlets reported the incident extensively.

Netizens, especially Chen Linfeng's fans, were slow to realize the situation.

After all, the number of people who participated in the battle that night was still a minority.

"No, what's going on? I just didn't go online yesterday, and now I'm told I missed a big event?"

"What are Han Geng's fans thinking? If they have a bit of brains, they wouldn't think they can compete with Chen Linfeng's fans."

"I'm already a fan of Korean boy band stars, what else do you think I can do?"

"What are you talking about upstairs? How did my XXX offend you?"

"Most people who like Han Geng are middle school students. When people are young, it's normal to think they can fight against the whole world."

"What's wrong with being a middle school student? I'm also a middle school student. I've liked Feng Shen since elementary school. Is that okay?"

"I think what Chen Linfeng said is right. They don't want to cast stars with poor acting skills. Isn't that a responsibility to us, the audience?"

"If you say that, what should people with poor acting skills do? Of course they won't be happy about it."

"So you're here to attack the director? Doesn't that mean he doesn't want you anymore?"

"It seems like a lot of celebrity fans other than Feng Ge also helped to counterattack yesterday. What's going on?"

"I can only say that Geng fans have given many celebrities a chance to express their feelings. They are really good people."

"That can't be said. Many celebrity fans themselves are also on the fence and may even be using their own idols as a supporter."

"Exaggerated! I heard they even attracted some celestial fans. Do you know what the most untouchable couple in China is? It seems like their CP fans are about to take over most of the film and television industry."

"..."

Chen Linfeng's fans were enjoying the joy of victory, while passers-by were discussing the right and wrong of this incident.

Adhering to the principle of teasing first, Chen Linfeng's fans cannot be blamed in any way.

The conversation that Chen Linfeng had previously conducted during an interview had been widely circulated on the Internet.

Most netizens have a positive attitude towards this.

In every era, people feel that contemporary actors’ acting skills are not as good as those of the previous generation.

Even the decade from 00 to 10 is considered a rare golden age for film and television.

There are still many people who reject those stars who are only famous or cross-border.

They naturally support directors who let their acting skills speak for themselves, so Chen Linfeng's remarks fall into the category of political correctness and are very supportive at the public level.

So throughout the whole incident, Chen Linfeng gained nothing but benefits.

Even though the domestic Korean forces were very dissatisfied and once wanted to launch a public opinion offensive.

But Chen Linfeng has brought with him a large number of forces in the film and television industry, which is really intimidating.

These people thought about it, but ultimately decided not to take any major action.

But privately, we still have to do something.

On the afternoon of the second day after the incident, Chen Linfeng went to the company to hang out, and Sister Mei came to talk to him about this matter.

She learned some details of what happened, including the role played by the agent.

"The other party's agent found someone to intercede for him and said he could apologize in person, hoping that we would not pursue the matter further."

"What do you think about this?"

Chen Linfeng asked curiously, "Do we have any follow-up actions? Isn't it all over?"

"Ah~" Chen Linfeng suddenly realized, "Do you want me to take back what I said?"

His expression looked a little grim.

Sister Mei said helplessly, "How is that possible? Everyone knows your temper. You must be crazy to think like that.

I just hope we can stop here and not take any other targeted actions.”

Ah this.

"I didn't intend to do anything else. He rushed over and got beaten back. It was like a scam. I'm not angry about it."

For stars who are controlled by their fans, even though they have to pay for the fans' behavior, they always feel that the fans are suffering.

I didn't gain any advantage and just got beaten.

"But others think you might be angry, so they come to intercede for you."

Sister Mei mentioned several names who could plead for leniency, and they were all well-known company owners in the industry.

Chen Linfeng only had to recall to roughly figure out what they had in common - most of them had business dealings related to Bangguo.

He opened his mouth to say something when his cell phone rang.

After the call was connected, I found out it was Deputy Director Zheng.

After chatting for a while, he realized that the other party was also trying to persuade him to calm down.

Chen Linfeng hung up the phone in a friendly manner, feeling a little unhappy.

I haven't done anything yet and you all come to me one by one.

Then why not, instead of targeting a particular person, I’ll target a certain type of people.

"Well, Sister Mei, you and Xu Wu should work out a set of rules, mainly summarizing a set of methods to identify traffic stars."

Chen Linfeng described his understanding of traffic stars.

"When we select actors for auditions, we should avoid these kinds of stars. We should also contact Long Lin and ask them not to use them. Just say that I said so."

Sister Mei frowned, "Xiao Feng, I understand your idea, but Yang Mi sounds like the type you mentioned. So we won't cooperate in the future?"

She was worried that if this continued, the company would discard many available people.

"If a person's fame is not greater than his acting skills, then he will be called traffic star."

Yang Mi has changed a lot in this life, at least for now, there is no sign of her turning into a dark person.

We can’t just treat others as pure traffic.

Chen Linfeng explained, "For stars who have played famous roles, especially those we have worked with before, we know that they can control themselves and sometimes perform well with their heart, so we don't dwell on these things."

A typical example is Huang Xiaoming. After all, he has good acting skills.

As long as he works with a qualified director and a good opponent, he can be used as a mature actor.

Even if Yang Mi is no longer like in her previous life, frantically taking on multiple roles and acting in a completely superficial manner, her acting skills are still good enough as long as the director is strict with her.

What Chen Linfeng was referring to were mainly those singing and dancing contestants who crossed over to make money for fun.

In fact, Zhou Jielun is almost this kind of player, but Chen Linfeng has a good relationship with him and did not specifically mention it.

“As I said, unless these stars have proven themselves in other works, they will not be used.

Even if the other party is sincere and willing to lower the pay, it must not be placed in the top three, this is the bottom line."

Chen Linfeng said this very seriously.

After I and my father decided on the drama-centered system.

Even though Chen Linfeng no longer provides scripts, Long Lin has increased its output to three or four films a year in recent years, and the quality is still maintained above the standard.

Now this is the second principle.

"That is to say, we should use mature actors as much as possible. Young actors can be used, but we try not to let them play important roles. They should start with supporting roles. Is that right?"

Sister Mei refined the central idea and finally confirmed it.

"That's what I mean. We are not targeting anyone. Qilin and Longlin will follow this principle from now on. We can make it clear to the outside world."

Chen Linfeng thought about it and decided that it would be more reasonable to remove the concept of traffic star and instead look at it from the perspective of mature actors.

But if this principle is implemented seriously, it will naturally exclude traffic stars. Mei continued to confirm the details, "What about when it comes to young characters such as students and young people?"

There are actually quite a lot of such roles, and they often play important roles in film and television dramas.

Especially for female characters, most female stars became famous when they were young.

In this case, it is difficult to use only mature actors because their ages may not be suitable, so younger actors must be selected.

And it is precisely this type of role that is most easily affected during casting.

Whether it is fame, the company behind it, or possible corruption and unspoken rules, there are too many factors.

Chen Linfeng thought about it and realized that it was indeed a problem.

But he changed his mind and thought, why should he worry about this problem? Longlin and Qilin were not involved in the brokerage business, so they did not need to find ways to cultivate talents.

Since there are young and famous actresses, just use them directly.

"Like Xixi and Shu Chang, they both became famous at a young age. The entertainment industry is never short of similar people. We can just choose from this type of actors."

For example, Jing Tian and Liu Shishi are young actresses who can be used.

Their acting skills may not be very mature, but they can follow instructions and do their best.

It is completely different from the concept of traffic star.

What Chen Linfeng is trying hard to avoid is traffic stars using their fame as a threat to suppress other people in the crew, making it impossible for directors, action directors and other jobs to be serious and responsible.

Once on camera, they can recite the lines for you in “12345”, and even the best behind-the-scenes team can’t do it.

"So, we mainly want to avoid those people who have no acting skills at all, are already famous, and are likely to become too famous to be removed. The rest are minor issues."

"Understood. I will discuss with Xu Wu and see how to formulate the rules."

Sister Mei agreed with Chen Linfeng's opinion, although she didn't know why the other party was worried and didn't even want to speak his lines properly.

But it is always better to take precautions before they happen, and institutionalization is also beneficial to the company's operations.

Finally, Sister Mei asked hesitantly, "When we make the subsequent announcement, should we specifically point out the role played by certain people?"

Chen Linfeng stroked his forehead. No, what has become of his reputation? Why is Sister Mei also suspecting that he is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge?
"Sister Mei, we make our own principles. It has nothing to do with 'certain people'. Do you understand?"

He blinked sincerely, hoping that the other party could understand his feelings.

"understood."

Sister Mei nodded seriously. Anyway, there are smart people to interpret it, so one should not be too straightforward.

As expected of Xiaofeng, revenge should be done in a subtle way so that the person involved understands.

"Don't worry, it won't affect your reputation."

Chen Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s great, Sister Mei still understands me.

Many people in the industry were initially waiting to see how the legendary vindictive Xiao Chen would respond.

However, this time everything seemed to be calm.

It was not until recently that Longlin and Qilin, two influential film and television companies, announced their future selection criteria to their competitors.

Some smart people suddenly realized and took a deep breath.

This is a transition from point-to-point to large-scale strikes.

I, Xiao Chen, am not targeting anyone. All you "Han Geng-type" stars, please don't come around me anymore.

Not accepted!

This is not just a matter between the Longlin and Qilin families.

Many companies in the film and television industry learn from the industry leaders.

The drama-centered system of the two giants has been adopted by many small companies. Now some large film and television companies will pay corresponding attention to the importance of screenwriters.

And now they have introduced a new employment principle, should we follow it?

How could the stars who were affected not be angry?
Director Chen is too big to be angry at that thing, so he has to get angry at the celebrity who caused all this.

Furthermore, many companies know that Director Chen is still angry. Won’t they consider the situation?
Huayi, Guangguang, Bona, etc. want to invest and cooperate with Director Chen.

One by one, you can't use a star who is easy to offend people.

There are so many celebrities in the circle, it doesn’t matter who you use.

These are things that need to be considered more when casting.

Many people are sighing that Han Geng has suffered a lot and it will be difficult for him to survive in the circle in the future.

It’s not a ban, but it’s worse than a ban.

But they only issued a relevant notice, which was about the rules and regulations for the development of their own company.

Even if some companies or forces behind Han Geng are dissatisfied, they cannot openly cause trouble.

After all, on the surface, Xiao Chen still gave face and did not target anyone.

Besides, Han Geng is currently quite famous, and even if he can’t stay in the film and television industry, he can still work hard on singing and dancing.

I didn't block your way, so you should thank the boss behind you for not killing you.

So old-fashioned!
Only Chen Linfeng didn't know what the "smart people" in the circle were thinking, otherwise he would have been in a dilemma.

You're thinking too much.

But this matter has passed. After setting the principle, Chen Linfeng no longer paid attention to the other party's reaction.

There were no rumors about this on the Internet, so he just considered the matter over.

In early April, Chen Linfeng specifically called Liu Qianqian, Fan Wei, Xiaolong, Hu Ge and others to the company.

These are the people who have appeared in "Your Name" or helped out as guest stars.

Now that the domestic box office of "Your Name" is basically settled, it's time to distribute the money.

Liu Qianqian's original model was a film salary plus profit sharing.

The salary at that time was only 1 million.

But the contract states that the profit share is 10% after the domestic box office revenue is shared.

Overall, the share is about 7 million.

Including the film remuneration, the total is 8 million.

When the other actors heard this, their eyes widened.

So many?
How can there be so many!

Chen Linfeng also gave dividends of about 300 to 500 million to each of the other actors.

This is in addition to the film remuneration.

Several people were satisfied, but looking at Liu Qianqian, they still felt jealous.

Liu Qianqian was a little shocked herself, "Xiaofeng, you don't need so much, right? I get nearly 100 million for one movie, it's too much."

"It's just because our movie did well at the box office, so proportionally, you should get this much money. If the movie doesn't do well at the box office, you won't get much money.

If the box office is only 5 million, then the share is less than 2 million, which is only a little more than your normal salary. If the box office is 1 million, then the share is only 400 million, which is still a loss. "

Chen Linfeng said seriously, "If you take risks, you may get higher returns."

Others silently complained, what risks are there in a movie directed by you, Xiao Chen?
