Chapter 429 Sissi standing at the top

Therefore, starting from "Hurricane Rescue" in mid-to-late August, the domestic media exploded.

The subsequent "Ugly Duckling" grossed nearly 500 million at the box office, which just added to Chen Linfeng's halo.

"Taken" and "Despicable Me" initially established his reputation as an international director.

In fact, "WALL-E" a few years ago was also his original work, and it also had a good reputation at the box office.

But at that time, the focus of the public and the industry was on Lasseter as the chief producer, and Chen Linfeng was just incidental.

But now it's different. After he won the Oscar, his fame has soared.

After it was revealed that "Despicable Me" was written by Chen and designed the image of the minions, the industry began to give him the credit.

Even in "WALL-E", the media suddenly remembered Chen's contribution.

This is the entertainment industry, whoever is more famous will have greater credit.

It is exactly the same as what happened in the nine years when the script of "Lotus Lantern" was revised.

It's just that the impact is wider.

The Los Angeles Times compiled a list of the current young generation of directors around the world.

Christopher Nolan was first, followed by Chen in second.

Nolan is far ahead at the box office, and Chen Linfeng has gained a lot of points by winning the Oscar for Best Director.

This list has been widely circulated in China and has become an important yardstick for assessing his status in Hollywood.

It’s not just Chen Linfeng.

Since the Oscars, Liu Qianqian's status in the industry has also skyrocketed.

Don't look at the road from Cannes Palme d'Or to Oscar, Liu Qianqian has been playing soy sauce.

But neither the media nor the public will ignore her presence.

Again, if you are famous in the entertainment industry, you will have merit.

After all, it's the third chapter, so it's not a small role.

The situation is similar in "The Rescue". As the key role after Vansaurus, it is not an exaggeration to call her the heroine.

Of the more than 500 million US dollars in box office, at least 100 million was attributed to Liu Qianqian (the rest was shared equally between Chen Linfeng and Fang Long).

But the positioning of the non-core protagonist many times is somewhat hindering.

Then there was "The Ugly Duckling Can Turn into a Swan".

Liu Qianqian's total box office performance was 500 million.

You know, Chen Linfeng tried his best to eliminate his own influence, saying it was for Cheng Er.

But you must know that without director Xiao Chen, the most famous among the remaining people is Liu Qianqian.

Nothing to say, take all the credit.

Cheng Er eats some soup and water. The most known person in the circle is such a person. He still needs more works to prove himself.

Everything else falls on Liu Qianqian.

An actress whose box-office appeal has reached sky-high levels has never been seen before in China.

Top female stars have always been paid less than male stars for a long time. Why?

The difference lies in whether it can resist the box office.

Now Liu Qianqian's market price has soared, and her domestic salary has suddenly reached the level of Zhou Runfa.

All domestic female celebrities' commercial endorsements, film remuneration and other prices all depend on Liu Qianqian's face.

It looks like one movie reaching the sky, but in fact there is a lot of foreshadowing.

It's hard to catch up with other actresses, like Bai Baihe, who in her previous life reached the top of the female star's pay list with a major female protagonist movie.

Now it doesn't work anyway.

The track has long been occupied. Even if the newcomers have similar achievements, they will not be as shocking as the first ones.

Liu Qianqian has been separated from other female stars by a sadly thick barrier.

September passed amid the noise from fans and media.

"The Empire" and Guoshi's new film, which were released at the end of the month, both achieved good results during the National Day release.

One is 340 million and the other is 460 million.

The reviews are also very good.

The voice for the rise of domestic films has become louder and has almost become the consensus of the public.

Zhang Yimou's new film is a film that Chen Linfeng has never seen in his previous life.

From the struggle experience of a young man in the 1980s, it reflects the trend of that era.

Although it has a bit of a literary tone, it strikes a chord with many people.

Chen Linfeng went to see it and thought it was indeed very good.

Since "Sunset", Zhang Yimou seems to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du.

The new film will tell stories as well as people, and will also show the imprint of the times.

It's a bit like "Reply", with emotions embedded in the story.

He no longer just went in the direction of commercial films, but began to create character stories.

The screenwriter we hired was a young man, relative to the screenwriter's age.

And he must have found a way to get along with the screenwriter. According to some reports, Zhang Yimou was interviewed and particularly emphasized the cooperation method between the director and the screenwriter.

Chen Linfeng felt like he was being used for free.

After filming together, not only did he learn how to take artistic shots and how to work on the images and colors, Zhang Yimou also learned something.

In mid-October, just after the National Day, Liu Qianqian began to promote the new drama. In half a month, I traveled all over Europe and the United States.

After I came back, I shouted that I would not go out this year no matter what, as I had exhausted all my energy.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen later."

"Really?" Liu Qianqian thought for a while, "Isn't there another "Your Name"?"

She was just talking, and she really didn't expect how long she would be able to rest.

Thinking about it makes me feel miserable. Earlier I had planned to just film one movie a year and spend the rest of the time just sitting around at home.

Who would have met a boyfriend like Xiao Feng and become so embarrassed?

"I plan to release that one during the Chinese New Year, so you can take a few months off."

Liu Qianqian looked at Chen Linfeng warily, "Are you lying to me? How can it be released during the Chinese New Year?"

She sighed and said, "You don't have to do this, I will work hard."

Chen Linfeng looked at her aggrieved look and said speechlessly, "Who lied to you? I'm telling the truth."

“Aren’t movie theaters closed during the Spring Festival?”

"You still know this?" Chen Linfeng said in surprise.

"That's right," Liu Qianqian said proudly, "You have always taught me to observe more and understand more so that I can have something in my head when acting. How do you think I got such good acting skills now?"

Chen Linfeng raised his hand and said, "It's not that great. My acting skills are just average."

Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him, a little slander, but it could no longer shake her heart.

Strong Sissi mode is on.

"You just know that movie theaters are not open during the Spring Festival, don't you know that this is all a matter of a word from the capitalists?"

Liu Qianqian choked and forgot that there were evil capitalists.

Chen Linfeng explained, "In the past, most movie theaters were closed during the Spring Festival, but at the beginning of this year, "Avatar" also received a box office of 100 million during the Spring Festival.

Therefore, the theater chain is already considering the Spring Festival schedule. As long as I want to move the movie's release time to the Spring Festival, they will definitely make adjustments accordingly. ”

"Then you are so abominable that you made those staff unable to go home during the Spring Festival."

"In "Her", the protagonist's life is so miserable, and there is a reason why he works overtime. You wrote such a novel, but you still do this."

Liu Qianqian sneered, "No wonder you imagined the system in the book so carefully. It turns out you are quite such a capitalist yourself."

Chen Linfeng pinched her face and said speechlessly, "You have learned so much knowledge that you are starting to rebel against Tiangang, right?"

"Don't keep pinching my face," Liu Qianqian slapped his hand away. "You keep saying that my face will become rounder in the future. I think it was you who pinched it."

She stopped joking and asked seriously, "If you move the release date to the Spring Festival, what if not many people come to see it? "Avatar" is different after all."

She didn't say there was any difference, so Chen Linfeng naturally understood.

You know, "Avatar" was released on January 4th, and this year's New Year's Eve is February 13th. It's been more than a month, and it can still collect more than 100 million at the box office.

The long-term sales ability is too strong. The last one was so exaggerated and it was a big ship.

They are all pure phenomenal movies.

"It's okay. As long as we can trigger a movie-going trend, if we monopolize the entire Spring Festival period, we may have better results than competing with others during the Lunar New Year period."

Chen Linfeng said confidently, "We have already had "Avatar" as a demonstration, so I am not afraid to take this first bite of meat."

The previous life was the Spring Festival release of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in 2013.

Although he is two years ahead of schedule, Chen Linfeng believes that his appeal is no worse than Zhou Xingxing's.

"Well, I've always listened to you anyway."

Liu Qianqian trusts her boyfriend's decision, and so far, she has not missed any major events.

She put the matter down and said excitedly, "Xiao Feng, "The Walking Dead" will start airing soon. Then let's watch it at home together."

"Okay, no problem."

Chen Linfeng's home is well equipped and he can watch foreign TV programs.

Liu Qianqian was so anxious to come back because she wanted to watch TV with him at home.

The two of them prepared various snacks, snacks, and drinks.

Liu Qianqian only took two bites and didn't dare to eat anymore.

She was always teased by Chen Linfeng, saying that she would become a fat fairy in the future, so she became very taboo and always lost weight habitually.

Even if Chen Linfeng says that he likes meaty things, it won't work.

In the end, it could only be solved by Chen Linfeng. He still maintained his daily morning exercises and the amount of exercise was not low, so he didn't need to worry too much about his weight.

"The Walking Dead" is a very typical American drama that maintains a sense of tension from the beginning.

The male protagonist is a policeman. At first, he was shot in the body and went to the hospital because of the execution of his duty.

When he woke up, he found that the entire hospital had turned into an apocalyptic scene.

After experiencing danger in the hospital and at home, he decided to look for survivors and find his wife and children.

The opening paragraph is very fast-paced and the first episode is over.

Liu Qianqian wanted to wait until she appeared on the stage, but she was really tired from running.

At first she was leaning on the sofa, then she was leaning on Chen Linfeng's shoulder, and then she fell asleep in his arms.

At the beginning of the second episode, Liu Qianqian was already sleeping soundly and chirping from time to time. It seemed that she was still a little hungry for snacks.

Chen Linfeng put her on his lap, then took out a blanket to cover her, and watched slowly by himself.
