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

Chapter 580 Chen Linfeng's 2013! (8k long chapter) Please vote for me
Every November, it is the time for the Lunar New Year movies to be promoted intensively.

This year is no exception.

Chen Linfeng specifically searched for relevant movie trailers on the Internet to see if there were any with confirmed release dates.

A love movie called "Waiting for the Wind", a bad movie!
There is also Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" which was finally released.

Then there is Feng Xiaogang’s "Private Tailor". In his previous life, he made this film purely to help Huayi fill the hole of "1942".

Today, "1942" has not lost money, so the reasons have naturally changed.

The main reason is that he saw that Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige had changed their approach and started to increase production on historical themes, which seemed quite reliable.

So he also wanted to do something different from the past.

But because of the lessons of "The Banquet", in order to gain support, they still rehashed the old story.

These three movies are all confirmed to be released in December this year.

In addition, there are movies such as "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "The Man from Macau", "Ex-Files", Guo Fan's "Time Traveler", Chen Kaige's "30,000 Miles from Chang'an", etc., all of which are scheduled to be released after New Year's Day.

It is not yet certain whether it will be at the end of the Lunar New Year period or competing for the Spring Festival period.

Everyone is waiting for news about "Now You See Me" and we have to wait until the release date of this movie is confirmed before we can make any arrangements.

Normally speaking, the 2013 Lunar New Year and Spring Festival period would be relatively poor.

But with the addition of Chen Linfeng, the situation is different.

Among the above-mentioned movies, several of them were able to appear entirely because of Chen Linfeng.

As long as their quality is up to par and they can hold their own during the release dates, the public's confidence in domestic films will be maintained.

Chen Linfeng moved the mouse with a frown on his face.

Despite being prepared, he still felt like vomiting when he saw a movie like "Where Are We Going, Dad?" which was not even a movie.

You really dare to play.

In its previous life, it was able to generate nearly 7 million yuan at the box office, but now it cannot satisfy the investors behind it.

You'd better pay more to serve as a warning to those who come after you.

But think about it, the box office of this movie is only tens of millions. Even if a lot of effort was put into publicity and promotion, it was still relying on the platform publicity and promotion capabilities of Mango TV.

I guess it won’t cost much.

It's a bit difficult to make it lose money, at least we can't let it make a big profit and then make a second part.

Chen Linfeng thought about it and called Guo Fan.

"Hello, teacher?"

"My movie Now You See Me will be released during the Spring Festival. I want to tell you something."

Guo Fan attaches great importance to his first film and wants to get a better release date.

Therefore, he was waiting for Chen Linfeng to make a decision first.

It is euphemistically called "respecting teachers".

"You're going to be in the Spring Festival period?"

Guo Fan was a little hesitant, but he was not surprised that Director Chen chose the Spring Festival period.

The Spring Festival period was the first market opened by this person, and in the following years, he also achieved success during the Spring Festival period many times.

This just made it difficult for him to make a decision.

"Then teacher, which time slot do you think I should choose?"

"Well, you wait a little longer and follow 'Where Are We Going, Dad?'. You can follow him wherever he is in the schedule, and we can release it on the same day."

Guo Fan was startled, and then asked cautiously, "Teacher, who behind this movie offended you?"

"No, but don't you think this kind of variety show movie is very harmful to the entire market?"

Chen Linfeng explained, "As a filmmaker, we can't say how great our achievements are, but at least we can't ruin the pot. This kind of film is a typical example of eating and ruining the pot."

They don't make a living from the film industry, they just come here to make a quick buck, but they affect other filmmakers.

It would be fine if I didn't have the ability, but now that I have the opportunity, I will definitely try my best.

"You don't have to worry too much, actually. The other party will most likely release the film during the Spring Festival. Then you might be competing with me on the same stage."

"Ah?" Guo Fan was even more shocked.

"Teacher, I can't beat you."

"Haha," Chen Linfeng sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you say in private. If you don't want to defeat your teacher's students, you are not a good director."

"Right?"

Guo Fan: "..."

He shouted guiltily, "You must have heard the rumor from somewhere. This is not true."

Just kidding.

Guo Fan asked, "Teacher, how did you know that this movie will be released during the Spring Festival?"

"Although this kind of movie is shot casually, its target audience is still very clear, that is, it is a family movie. The most likely time for it to be released is during the Spring Festival, when there are a large number of families and parents will bring their children to watch it."

Of course, the most important thing is that it was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in its previous life.

Chen Linfeng thought that in the previous life, when "Where Are We Going, Dad?" was released at the same time, there was only one rival, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and both movies made a lot of money because of it.

The ones confirmed now include "Now You See Me" and "30,000 Miles from Chang'an".

If it dares to come again, then together with "Time Traveler", we must give it a good beating.

The arrangement of films alone would be enough to crush it.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Guo Fan pondered for a moment, "Okay then, I'll wait for it to announce first, and then go to heaven on the same day as it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Linfeng looked helplessly at Xixi who had squeezed into his arms halfway.

"Be careful, don't get too close to me, and watch your stomach."

Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes and said, "It's nothing, but you care so much about it."

"I definitely care about our children."

This is the first time in my two lifetimes, so I have to be careful.

"Humph, worrying for nothing."

Having said that, she was still more careful and adjusted her posture slightly, but her entire upper body was still lying on Chen Linfeng's chest.

He clasped his hands together and rubbed his head from time to time.

It seems that after Xixi became pregnant, she became much more obsessive.

But at least this is better than losing your temper.

"Are you going to Hollywood in a few days to do Oscars PR?"

Chen Linfeng stroked her hair gently, "Well, this is a plan that was made a long time ago."

"Then I'm going too."

"This..." Chen Linfeng thought about it, but he couldn't make the decision.

The boss in the family may not agree.

Liu Qianqian also knows this.

"Can you please help me to speak to him?"

The sweet and naive voice with a hint of milk echoed in his ears, making Chen Linfeng feel excited.

It's a foul, hey.

"Okay, I'll go tell my parents."

"It's so kind of you."

Liu Qianqian smiled and squinted her eyes, then she stood up and brought a plate of fruit from the kitchen.

Chen Linfeng was shocked and quickly stood up and took it.

"Aunt, let me come and let our mother see that I am not her son anymore."

The public relations for "Joker" for the Oscars has entered a white-hot stage.

Chen Linfeng really had to go.

The process of convincing his parents was painful, but fortunately his credit score was still there, and after making numerous guarantees, he was finally able to go through with it.

But before that, there are still things he needs to do back home.

As the end of the year approaches, various summaries and evaluations are launched one after another. Some of them Chen Linfeng can push through, but some are difficult to shirk.

Among them, the more important ones are the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards.

The Golden Horse Awards are on the 23rd of the month, and the Golden Rooster Awards are a week later, which is at the end of the month.

Influenced by the Golden Rooster Awards, the time of the Golden Horse Awards is now gradually being advanced compared to the past.

I just don't want the two awards to be put together.

Who would have thought that the Golden Rooster Awards would be brought forward, and they were going to make the most of it.

It can be said to be a lack of martial ethics.

The goal of the award committee is very clear now, which is to suppress the Golden Horse Awards and make it the highest award in the Chinese region. No one can say anything about it.

Chen Linfeng plans to go to Los Angeles after the Golden Rooster Awards.

In fact, this year's award has little to do with him, after all, he has not filmed in the country in the past two years.

"Joker" could be nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film award, but there is a fear that winning this award consecutively will damage the award and further dampen the willingness of overseas works to participate.

But "Joker" itself has a huge influence, with a box office of 12 billion US dollars, and its quality is also good.

It would be unreasonable not to give him an award, after all, he will have to compete for an Oscar later.

It still depends on the jury's vote. I'm afraid that even if the weighted coefficient of the second award is taken into account, I will still win the award.

Anyway, Chen Linfeng has made up his mind not to sign up next year.

He personally attended the first two sessions after the reform, but the awards themselves have to support themselves in the future.

……

Chen Linfeng is a man who cannot sit still. In addition to taking care of his wife and writing novels at home, he can also find time to meet and chat with a group of people in the circle.

I won’t mention the friends who have filmed with me in the past, such as Jiao Enjun and Zhao Feihong.

There are also people like Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Wang Baoqiang, and Wang Qianyuan, who can be considered to be in a circle to some extent.

Speaking of Wang Baoqiang, I have to say that Chen Linfeng did a good thing.

Due to changes in history, he has not met his agent, Mr. Song, until now. Naturally, his wife has also changed.

I believe that there won’t be any more troubles this time when protecting the wall.

In addition to the above two groups of people, he communicated more with his two groups of students, people he knew in the literary circle, and some investors.

These don’t count as more peripheral friends.

It takes a lot of time to go through the whole circle.

It’s not good to not see each other for a long time, we must always maintain basic relationships.

If he wants to maintain his huge influence in the industry, he has to pay more attention to it.

By this calculation, we can understand how much time other people in the entertainment industry spend on socializing.

He is the type who doesn't socialize very often.

"Xiao Chen, you've been very popular recently." It was still the familiar voice of Jiang Wen.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang were also there, and even Xu Ke and Ning Hao, and of course they wanted to get together with the big directors as well.

"Hey, what's there for me to be proud of?"

"No. 21 in literature in the st century, isn't that glorious?"

Chen Kaige smiled. "Recently, the literary community has been discussing this non-stop. Even people like us outside the circle can hear it. It's really enviable."

"Hey, I heard a piece of gossip."

Jiang Wen said mysteriously, "I heard that some excerpts from the book 'She' may be included in the elective content of middle school textbooks. Xiao Chen is really going to become a literary writer now."

Oh~
This news was a bit explosive and everyone was shocked.

"Really?" "Really?" "Why haven't I heard of it?"

In the end, everyone looked at Chen Linfeng, wanting to hear his answer.

Chen Linfeng felt very uneasy. "It's not confirmed yet, but there is such a rumor."

Someone did inform him through Sister Mei.

However, "She" was written during college, so there are still some shortcomings in the writing style and it needs further refinement.

During this period, he has been writing at home, which is actually what he is doing.

"Then isn't this a true story?" Chen Kaige asked in surprise.

Everyone knows more or less what kind of person Xiao Chen is.

He is so steady and calm that he doesn't seem like a young man.

If we say it is uncertain now, it means there must be corresponding rumors, but it has not been completely finalized yet.

But with Xiao Chen's current momentum, it is probably only a matter of time.

Jiang Wen spread his hands proudly, "See, what did I say? Chen Linfeng will definitely have a bright future."

Feng Xiaogang rolled his eyes. "You don't have to tell me that."

They knew it ten years ago!

Ning Hao couldn't help but ask, "Which part is it?"

Chen Linfeng shook his head. "It's still uncertain. It depends on which part the experts think is better."

It should be possible to pick out the relatively exciting parts from a book.

There is no requirement for students to see anything, it is just to broaden their horizons and cultivate their interest.

"Her" is a social science literature work with a little near-future science fiction flavor and popular novel writing techniques. It is relatively rare among works of the same type.

Oh, the above classification is given by experts.

Since the trip to Yanjing University, the status of "She" in the literary world has changed drastically, and more and more experts have come to study this novel.

"When will it be finalized?" Zhang Yimou also asked.

Chen Linfeng was helpless, "I've said it all, but it hasn't been finalized yet. I'm still refining the original work."

Jiang Wen joked, "Will you publish it when the time comes and collect the second payment?"

"Old Jiang, please don't reveal the unspoken rules."

"That's right, you can't talk at all, so I'll have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment."

"..."

In fact, these directors, as people in the film and television industry, are not interested in things in the literary world, with the possible exception of Chen Kaige, a literary youth.

In other words, Chen Linfeng is one of us, so I care about him more.

But it’s different when you read textbooks.

Anyone who has received education in the mainland understands what this means.

According to the previous saying, as long as the work can be posted online, the word "literary writer" can be added to the Baidu entry.

As a result, everyone's interest was instantly piqued.

"Do you think Xiao Chen can really be called a writer in the future?"

Feng Xiaogang habitually starts to flatter.

In fact, he had said this to Wang Shuo in the past at a gathering in the Beijing circle.

It was just an affirmative sentence used at that time.

But the affirmative sentence is not as sincere as the question.

"It's in the textbooks, so he's a writer."

Chen Linfeng glanced at Jiang Wen and no longer wanted to correct him and say he was not sure. Chen Kaige was more cautious and shook his head, "If it's just one work, it's still a little weak."

Literary masters of the past include Lao She's "Camel Xiangzi", "Four Generations Under One Roof" and "Teahouse".

Ba Jin's "Family", "Spring" and "Autumn" are far more than just one of these well-known literary works.

Not to mention Mr. Lu Xun, the textbooks require students to memorize more than one of his works.

Jiang Wen stroked his chin, "What you said makes sense."

"Not necessarily," Ning Hao argued, "Mr. Cao Yu, isn't Thunderstorm more famous?"

Chen Linfeng said, "He also has "Sunrise", "Wilderness" and "Yanjing People", which are also very famous."

"That's in your opinion," Ning Hao waved his hand, "most people probably only know one movie, Thunderstorm."

"That makes sense," Feng Xiaogang applauded. "Director Chen will definitely be a writer in the future. He is helping us realize our dreams."

However, they stopped clapping halfway through.

Because no one agreed with him.

He himself found it boring.

Writers~
To be honest, after experiencing the literary frenzy of the 1980s, who doesn’t have a literary dream?

But gradually, everyone stopped dreaming.

Chen Kaige understands this the most deeply, his literary dream.

When Chen Linfeng saw that everyone was listless, he immediately changed the subject.

"Director Xu, how is the post-production of your film going?"

Born in Hong Kong, Xu Ke had little understanding of the contents of mainland textbooks and writers, so he had been unable to get a word in.

Now that someone finally paid attention to him, he immediately became cheerful.

"Fortunately, the editing has been completed, but the special effects are a bit troublesome. But speaking of it..."

Xu Ke gave a thumbs up. "The people at the Shenshou special effects department are really capable. They are much better than the companies I used to work with."

"Oh?" Jiang Wen asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

After all, everyone is in the film and television industry and is more sensitive to topics within the industry. After hearing the conversation between the two, their sense of loss quickly dispelled and their interest rekindled.

"It's mainly to make people feel professional. For some magic weapons or spells, you can't describe the effects clearly, but people can understand them, and they can find similar ones in the material library."

Xu Ke sighed, "This way I can achieve what I want to the greatest extent. In the past, apart from the core that I was most concerned about, many other things could only be handled by the special effects company due to time constraints, and they were basically inconsistent with what I had in mind."

Feng Xiaogang nodded in agreement, "I've encountered this situation before."

"Actually, you guys are pretty good."

Everyone looked at Chen Linfeng.

“After all, domestic companies can still communicate, but if you use foreign special effects companies, the difference will be even greater.

In recent years, the special effects of mythical beasts have been accumulating mythological and fairy-tale materials, enriching the material library based on ancient myths, strange stories, as well as the styles of buildings, murals, and ancient maps.

Many of the things we want to have an ancient style or a fairy-like feel have actually been imagined by the ancients.

Therefore, as long as you have accumulated enough, the staff can easily find similar materials that meet your requirements. "

"No wonder," Xu Ke clapped his hands and sighed, "This time of cooperation with the divine beast has made me unable to leave it anymore."

"That's a good thing," Chen Linfeng smiled brightly, "It shows that the company's direction is correct."

When talking about the entertainment industry, everyone immediately became interested.

Zhang Yimou asked Chen Kaige, "Your movie will be released this year, right?"

"Well, 'Three Thousand Miles in Chang'an'. Xiao Chen helped come up with the name. It will be released during the Spring Festival."

Chen Linfeng interrupted, "My movie Now You See Me is also on the Spring Festival schedule, we can do it together then."

Chen Kaige said with a headache, "Everything else is fine, but I'm a little unsure about sharing the same schedule with you."

To this day, no filmmaker can help but feel intimidated when seeing Director Chen.

"The Spring Festival period is huge. As long as the quality of the movies is good, there is no need to worry about the box office. If there are several high-quality movies, maybe everyone's box office will be able to go up."

When the Spring Festival comes, communication between relatives and friends becomes frequent.

If at this time there is public opinion that "this year's Spring Festival movies are generally good", then it will spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, and it will attract a large number of viewers who do not usually watch movies.

The logic of the movie market during the Spring Festival and regular periods is different.

"Yeah, that's true." Chen Kaige said, "It's just that my movie doesn't have any famous actors. Do you think the final result will be successful?"

He is still somewhat worried. Starting from "Farewell My Concubine", he has always liked to use big-name stars to expand the cast of his films.

Now that it has changed, he feels a little uncomfortable and feels something is wrong all over his body.

"Hey, Director Chen, you are the biggest star. After a certain point, the audience will pay more attention to us directors rather than actors."

This is a bit exaggerated. Some actors who can carry the box office will definitely be beneficial to publicity and promotion.

But Chen Linfeng had to say this in front of a group of big directors.

And it’s not wrong to say so. At this time, the appeal of a big director may indeed be higher than that of an actor.

After all, this is not the previous life. Today’s big directors have not exhausted the goodwill they have accumulated.

Especially Zhang Yimou, who added a lot of points after "The War between Song and Mongol Empires".

When it comes to favorability scores, Feng Xiaogang feels a little uncomfortable.

"I'm going to get scolded for filming 'Personal Tailor' this time."

He has rehashed old stuff to this extent, so even if someone says that everyone will support him, he won't believe it.

Jiang Wen said, "That's true. Maybe I should give you a Golden Broom Award."

Although it is expected that it will not be very good, it is too vicious to say this.

Feng Xiaogang's face immediately turned dark and he said, "I said this so that you can comfort me."

I didn't ask you to cause trouble for me.

This Jiang Wen is such a big mouth.

Chen Linfeng almost collapsed. Jiang Wen also traveled through time?

In its previous life, "Personal Tailor" was indeed selected for the Golden Broom Award.

Zhang Yimou asked, "Xiaogang, what kind of film are you going to make next?"

At a previous party, Feng Xiaogang mentioned that he made "Personal Tailor" in order to gain support for subsequent films.

Feng Xiaogang thought about it and simply told him, "It's an anti-Japanese movie, mainly about war themes."

Both Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige turned their attention to history.

Feng Xiaogang has been following the two closely and has also thought about whether to shoot history.

But when he thought of "Night Banquet", he became a little hesitant.

He is different from Zhang and Chen. He is good at modern films, but he is not good at ancient costume history.

Then he thought of the film "Assembly" he had shot before, and felt that war themes might be a good choice.

History is not only about ancient times, it also includes modern times.

There are also many good stories during the modern anti-Japanese period.

Feng Xiaogang also specifically asked Chen Linfeng for his opinion, and he felt there was no problem, so it was finally decided.

"Of course, when the script is finished, I'll still trouble Director Chen to take a look at it and give me some suggestions."

Feng Xiaogang, who had path dependence, looked at Chen Linfeng in a flattering manner.

"No problem, just write it and send it to me."

War blockbusters are rarely seen in the country, and this is actually a good approach.

However, usually only big directors have the resources to shoot this kind of movie.

It’s a good idea to let Feng Xiaogang come.

In fact, Gangzi is not only good at making comedies. His previous works, "Assembly" and "Aftershock", both had a serious temperament.

The overall effect is also pretty good.

It’s just that his historical perspective may be problematic, so he needs to be the one to take a closer look.

Asking him to read the script was exactly what Chen Linfeng wanted.

"Xiaogang has been confirmed, what about you, Lao Mouzi?" Jiang Wen asked.

"I plan to move forward in history and continue photographing ancient wars."

There was a strange light in Zhang Yimou's eyes.

"The War between Song and Mongolia" had a great influence on him.

High box office is only one aspect; word of mouth is the key.

This is the first time that he made a movie and no one criticized him.

Moreover, the public opinion on the Internet was particularly good, with all kinds of flattery that made Zhang Yimou blush.

Too good at boasting.

Praise more!
In short, the last movie he made gave him a very different experience.

“I want to make a few more films, and then call them the Ancient Chinese War Series, to restore the real war conditions of each dynasty as much as possible.

Jiang Wen, do you know that the war situation in ancient times has changed many times? Sometimes, cavalry and archery were powerful, but sometimes, armored knights charged at each other. In some cases, infantry could defeat cavalry, and there were also thousand-mile raids, food cuts, and large-scale military attacks...

I want to film these things that have never been filmed before, so that the public can know how people in the past fought wars.”

Zhang Yimou rarely uses passionate words to express his ideas.

He felt that he had found the direction for his future.

"After this series is finished, I think my age is right, and I will retire and officially stop acting."

Today, as he is no longer young, Zhang Yimou has begun to think about his legacy after death.

As a director who has won the triple gold medal, if he had stopped when he won the triple gold medal, his future reputation would definitely be good.

But later on, he couldn't help but start filming again.

He wanted to have a good start and a good end to the second half of his life.

The room fell silent.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yimou in shock; they didn't expect him to do something big out of the blue.

Chen Kaige looked at him blankly, "Have you thought about it?"

Hearing his lifelong rival say this, he felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Zhang Yimou laughed and said, "Don't make me retire immediately.

The ancient war series has been filmed until the audience doesn’t want to watch it anymore, maybe it can continue to be filmed for many more decades.”

Jiang Wen sighed, "I didn't expect you to have made plans and found your own way so soon."

He is still a little confused.

I had originally planned on doing a MG trilogy, but after filming it like this, what are we going to do next?

Jiang Wen glanced secretly at Chen Linfeng.

A few years ago, they made a bet to see who had more movies grossing over 10 billion.

Now it seems that the winner must be Xiao Chen.

Is he going to continue on the path of appealing to both the elite and the masses?
Or should we make more popular films?
Chen Linfeng didn't expect that Zhang Yimou's words might cause Jiang Wen's ideas to waver a little.

He applauded and praised, "Director Zhang, this is a good idea. No director has ever tried to go in this direction in the Chinese ancient war series.

If it’s well shot, it might become a benchmark for the future.”

He sighed, "If this works, I might become a top director in the future."

The secret provocation made Chen Kaige raise his eyebrows.

That bit of sadness has long been forgotten.

Lao Mouzi is the first?

That won't work!
He had to pull it down.

Chen Kaige began to think about how he should catch up next.

After fighting for his whole life, he didn't want to give up now.

"You are exaggerating," Zhang Yimou shook his head quickly, "You, Xiao Chen, are only a few years old. You still have decades of good time. Who can compare to you in the future?"

Yes.

This is enemy number one.

Everyone looked at him.

There are many voices in the circle now that believe Chen Linfeng is the most outstanding director of our time.

What would happen if he really had to grow up for a few more decades?
But when I think about it, what can I do? Xiao Chen is only 25 years old now.

However, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen and others don’t think too much about this. They are the fifth generation of directors, and there is too much gap between them and the new generation.

It is indeed not considered a generation, unless we really discuss the first in the future.

Otherwise they would probably not be compared together.

The same is true for Xu Ke. Those who should be compared with him are definitely the directors from Hong Kong in the last century.

Only Ning Hao had a look of grievance on his face.

Damn, I was young, and when I became famous, Director Chen also became famous.

I have been suppressed throughout the whole process and will definitely be used as a background board.

Fuck! (a plant)
……

Perhaps it may be due to the end of the year.

At the party, we just talked about the topic of posthumous reputation and comparison with peers.

The media also mentioned this.

"In 2013, Chen Linfeng successfully won the three major European film awards with "Joker", and then won a global box office of 12 billion US dollars.

This is his second film as a director and it ranks among the top ten in film history.

Judging from the global box office performance this year, this may be his first annual global box office champion.

In terms of literary works, the sales of the Faceless Man Chapter of Lord of Mysteries has exceeded 1300 million copies, continuing to create its own record.

"Her" is almost universally recognized (actually not so universally recognized) in the literary world as the best literary work of the 21st century.

All these achievements make people sigh at the great progress Chen Linfeng has made this year.

Whenever everyone thought he would stop and rest for a while.

He would always answer: 'No, I won't, I want to keep improving!'

2013 was completely Chen Linfeng's personal show. This year belonged to him.

Yes, it’s not Chen Linfeng in 2013, but Chen Linfeng’s 2013.

......"

"Renri" surprisingly published an article of pure praise on the front page.

It really shocked everyone.

Other media are also praising it. After all, it’s the end of the year and everyone has performance requirements.

But you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also trying the same thing?
Then, it was as if it was an appointment.

After Renri, official media including Beijing Youth Daily, Huaqing Daily, Guangming Daily and Global Times collectively charged forward and started boasting mode.

People in the media are somewhat confused. What is happening that we don’t know about?
Just at this time, Time magazine announced their candidates for 2013's "Person of the Year".

Chen Linfeng was among them.

Global uproar.
