Chapter 450 Traffic? don't want!
After three days of leisure at home, Chen Linfeng had to get busy again.
The results of "Your Name" were so brilliant. Previously, because he had to film in London, he avoided the attention of the public and the media.
Now that I'm back, I can't hide.
Together with Liu Qianqian, there are countless media interviews and business activities waiting for them to appear.
It happened that Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian both signed endorsement deals with Pepsi, and Pepsi tried its best to bring them out to meet the public.
Brother Chen, Master Chen, let me, Pepsi, bear 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 Pepsi's commercial activities together.
In order to capitalize on the popularity of "Your Name", Pepsi has specially released new packaging for several co-branded models.
In fact, Pepsi has placed advertisements in movies before.
The female protagonist takes on the role of the male protagonist, and she goes to drink and eat with her classmates after school, and there is a corresponding display.
Pepsi's growth was evident in the month following the film's release.
Over the years, it has decided that Chen Liu will not let go. It spends a lot of endorsement fees and earns more money anyway.
At the event, Chen Linfeng recited the advertising slogan and cooperated with the photo taking. The whole process was completed.
This is also what the new version of the contract requires.
If you want him to cooperate in a promotional video or something, don't even think about it.
Say a few words and don't drink competing drinks. The brand's requirements are very low, almost humble.
There is no way, Chen Linfeng's number of external endorsements is getting smaller and smaller.
If the money hadn't been given quickly in the first place, they might not have renewed the contract at all.
If you want to spend money, you have to spend it on your knees, which is really contrary to Tiangang.
However, the president of PepsiCo China didn't think there was anything "rebellious" about it. When he and Chen Linfeng were taking pictures together, his face almost turned into a flower with a smile.
Just look at the large number of media reporters gathered below, and you will know that others want to spend (kneel) money but there is no way to do this.
After the brand event, comes the interview stage.
Liu Qianqian went to take a promotional photo, which has now been taken, and came back for an interview with Chen Linfeng.
The two of them received a large number of microphones in their hands, and they couldn't hold them anymore.
Chen Linfeng simply put a few down on the table in front of him, then helped his girlfriend pick up a few more, hugged them in his arms, and worked together.
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 dropped directly, which made them feel even more miserable.
But none of these people dared to say anything more. Nowadays, Director Xiao Chen accepts fewer and fewer interviews. If he says a few more words, he will lose his interview qualification.
The public opinion of "Your Name" is so hot, whoever dares to drop one or two news will not be ripped off when they go back.
Of course, Chen Linfeng still knew to some extent what these reporters were thinking.
He put the microphones on the stage upright, which was enough to give him face. Chen Linfeng felt very satisfied.
Those media outlets: Hey, forget it, Director Xiao Chen still has me in mind.
The interview officially begins.
The problems at the beginning were all focused on the box office of "Your Name".
Reporter: "May I ask Director Chen, the movie box office has now exceeded 2 billion, what do you think?"
Chen Linfeng: "I'm very happy, thank you all for your recognition and watching the movie."
Reporter: "For other domestic movies, the highest box office is only 800 million, which is more than twice as much. What do you think of this phenomenon?"
Chen Linfeng: "You can't say that. The one with 800 million is "Let the Bullets Fly." I like this movie so much. I think it is no worse than "Your Name."
"We still shouldn't judge heroes solely based on box office."
Reporter: "What about the next "Tangshan Earthquake", which has a box office of 600 million, and "Your Name" is more than three times that."
Chen Linfeng: "Don't provoke me. I really appreciate Director Feng's film."
……
Reporter: "I heard that "Your Name" has won the weekly box office championship in Neon, Bangguo, Xiangguo, Annan, Malay and other countries.
The media calls it ‘Asia’s 8th Champion’. What do you think of this title? ”
Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows, "I haven't heard any news from Southeast Asia. You guys are fast enough. It's just an estimate.
Also, the ‘media’ you mentioned could not be your family saying that. ”
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. Reports are prone to deviations."
The Sina reporter smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.
The reporters are so tired that they won't let go of any information. How can we write reports if you ask us, the uncrowned kings, to go back?
They targeted Liu Qianqian again.
Reporter: "I would like to ask Liu Qianqian, a heroine with a box office of 2 billion, to reach the top among domestic female stars. Do you feel excited?"
Liu Qianqian shook her head, "I think my identity is more of an actor. People only look at acting skills, not box office, so I can't agree with what you said about 'reaching the top'."
The reporter had no choice but to ask a different question, "As the top-grossing actress in the country, how do you view this matter?"
Liu Qianqian: "For me, this is an incentive. I can't just waste my time at the box office. I should work harder on my acting skills."
Reporter: "From Zhao Ling'er, Xiao Longnu, to now Ji Hanqiu, how do you do so many classic roles?"
Liu Qianqian’s expression was sincere, “Sincerely.”
Um?
The reporter's mind was filled with questions.
Liu Qianqian smiled slyly, "Just kidding. First of all, you have to choose a script. After you get the script, concentrate on preparing it, and leave the rest to the director.
The character 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 for so many years, so you are very lucky."
At this point, everyone in the audience looked at someone unconsciously.
Chen Linfeng remained silent, looking forward and not expressing any opinions.
……
After the question about "Your Name", the reporter asked Chen Linfeng about his follow-up plans.
Chen Linfeng didn't say anything about Leonardo joining, and planned to hide the news later.
He only said that his next movie would be shot in Hollywood and it would be a movie with suspense elements.
He also released information that the film was adapted from a short story he had written before.
Everyone was guessing which novel it was. Writer Xiao Chen has written so many short stories in the past that it’s really hard to guess.
In addition, Chen Linfeng announced that "Infinite World" will be released in the summer, which aroused excitement among reporters.
This is also big news.
"Infinite World" is really a hit 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 the release date, but in China, we are not sure yet when it will be introduced."
Everyone felt sorry, not just movie fans, they actually wanted to see it too.
Who didn't read this novel when they were students?
Counting the sales of genuine and pirated copies, it is impossible to say that less than half of the young people in the country have read this novel.
It was no less influential among the people than Jin Yong's novels a generation earlier.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the youthful memory of a generation.
After getting down to 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 and said nothing.
This somewhat aroused reporters' speculation.
After all, when this issue was mentioned before, the other party just ignored it.
At least, this matter should be put on the agenda.
The media seemed a little excited.
Watching this golden couple come from school days, their relationship has always been so good, and now it is finally possible to get married.
Everyone was a little happy for them.
Who is not 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 was pregnant with a dark knot and got married with her son."
These reporters have already secretly thought of outrageous news headlines.
Towards the end, another reporter asked questions.
"Excuse me, Director Chen, do you know Han Geng who returned from Super Junior of Bangkok?"
Chen Linfeng looked at the reporter and thought of a lot.
It’s only 2011, has this started?
Of course he wouldn't be like Wu Jing, who said he didn't know her and then asked whether the man was a woman.
After all, he did know that Han Geng had been tainted by relevant news about strong women in his previous life.
Even in this life, I have seen Han Geng.
Chen Linfeng has a very good memory and will never forget.
"I know, before the Olympics, we collaborated together when we sang "Beijing Welcomes You"."
The reporter then asked, "Han Geng is now the most popular male celebrity in the country..."
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 a male star who is only second to Director Chen in popularity in China."
Chen Linfeng waved his hand, "It's okay, you tell me, I am a director now, even if you exclude this, I am still an actor."
"Well, I just want to ask, if Han Geng wants to cooperate with you, as a director, will you ask him to film?"
Damn it, which reporter here is so good at talking about topics.
All the media in the room looked at the reporter who asked the question, as if they wanted to burn incense for him.
Sister Mei was standing aside. When she heard such a controversial issue, she wanted to end the press conference. The time was almost up anyway.
But then Chen Linfeng answered directly.
"Most likely not."
The reporters were surprised at first, and then suddenly became excited.
It's not easy. Director Xiao Chen didn't avoid the question.
"On the one hand, I prefer to use familiar actors. Basically everyone in the industry knows them.
Basically, as long as the people I have worked with perform well, I will find the right one to use them in subsequent filming. ”
Chen Linfeng's expression was very serious, "On the other hand, I value the acting skills of actors very much. Han Geng was born in a boy band and has been practicing singing and dancing.
I don't think his acting skills are better than those of Yanying or Chinese opera students. Unless he has performed very well in other film and television works, I will consider him. ”
The whole paragraph is very Chen-style. Even if it is a rejection, the reason is still explained clearly, and the overall situation is relatively tactful.
But journalists are very good at distilling the central idea.
If your acting skills are not good, don't come, don't want it!
……
After going out for a walk, Chen Linfeng retreated back home to enjoy the rare few days of leisure in the first half of the year.
And the Internet is already making a fuss over his previous interview.
There is no need to say more about "Your Name". Netizens have been talking about this kind of topic since the Chinese New Year until now, and they are somewhat tired.
Everyone is very interested in Chen Linfeng's new movie.
But after guessing, I really can't guess.
Only some book fans and movie fans who read a lot prefer to talk about this topic.
The topic of marriage later.
At first, the CPs almost had a party. Unfortunately, after the overall video of the press conference came out, they realized that the media was making things up, and the popularity gradually waned.
After all, there is no specific time.
The real revelation is Han Geng's part.
It's really heavyweight.
Han Geng's fans are going crazy.
