Chapter 482 Chen Linfeng is extremely popular
October 20th is two days before the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.
After more than ten days, the public controversy over Chen Linfeng's marriage has finally subsided.
Of course, it also gave way to bigger news.
The top 100 classics in film history have now been announced to the top 50, which has come to an end.
The rest will be announced at the Golden Rooster Awards.
Chen Linfeng's "Exploding Drummer" is stuck at No. 93, and "Your Name" is stuck at No. 51.
Only "Sunset" still doesn't know the ranking, and it needs to be announced at the Golden Rooster Awards.
In the past few days as the awards are approaching, relevant media reports have become more frequent.
This year’s Golden Rooster Awards are far more influential than previous ones.
Just the celebrities who are expected to attend are not the same concept as before.
Among the top 100 works, excluding the seniors who have passed away, everyone else has been confirmed to come.
In addition to the thousands of judges selected at the time, most of the filmmakers were also invited.
This scene is so big that even the Golden Horse Award is far behind.
So far, in the eyes of many people in the entire industry, including people from Hong Kong and Taiwan, this award has been regarded as a major official move.
It has strong political implications.
Not only to recruit talents from all over the world, but at least to boost the morale of the entire industry.
Just as the domestic film market is about to open up, theater and box office potential is growing rapidly.
There are some new actions at the official level, which is normal.
Many debate programs on the island have talked about this Golden Rooster Award and think it has a lot of profound meaning.
Although many people usually look down on the government, in fact, at times like this, they are most enthusiastic and want to show their loyalty no matter what.
In fact, at the beginning, in Chen Linfeng's view, this statement was pure nonsense.
How could he not know what was going on?
But in the past two months, things have really taken off.
Judging from several exchanges with the Railway General Manager, although the core staff are still them and all things are still handled according to the past rules, there are many changes in other places.
Some of the association personnel and official figures that were brought in originally were to leave some peaches for others to pick.
As a result, these people are now replaced by strangers.
In addition, there are many more resources that can be mobilized.
The Sixth Princess launched two special topics in a row and reported relevant information every day.
Not to mention the movie screening, it has almost become a special screening of classic works with a century of film history.
Among several other channels of China Central Television, Channel 1 has produced a series of exclusive interview programs with great directors.
Channel 4 invited retired seniors in the industry to tell stories related to past film history.
Invisibly, they are cooperating.
Not to mention other newspapers, magazines, and state media, they have started a long time ago and have not stopped at all.
Among them, there are many official big shots who have published articles to support it.
In this situation, no matter how stupid Chen Linfeng is, he knows that there must be something going on here.
He specifically asked Mr. Tie how it happened.
"To put it bluntly, you have done a good job and gave hope to the higher ups."
Mr. Tie said in detail, "The boom in domestic films last year was not fake. The leaders above saw it. They hope to provide support and maintain this momentum.
In addition, you led a group of people to become famous overseas. From the original TV series to the current movie, you have several global best-selling movies, which also shocked some people. ”
Chen Linfeng asked doubtfully, "But this has nothing to do with this selection of 100-year classics in film history, right?"
Mr. Tie on the other end of the phone chuckled, "Do you really think others can't see your purpose?"
"Um," Chen Linfeng touched his nose, "What do you see?"
“Have you been unhappy with the Golden Rooster Awards for a long time?”
"Looking at what you said, if I don't like it, can I still combine this selection with the Golden Rooster Award?"
"Then the cage is changed to a bird, and the dove takes over the magpie's nest?"
Chen Linfeng was really sure that the other party had noticed it now, and he didn't know how to respond.
"Actually, it's not just me who sees it. Some people also think it's wrong when it comes to culture and culture. It's just for your sake, Xiao Chen, that I'm helping you.
We all know that you can't do bad things, so if I let you mess around, maybe there will be a good result. ”
Yes, it must be these officials.
Thinking back to when I was young, I was sure that there was nothing wrong with not mixing up the systems. Some of the leaders I met over the years basically had the same skills.
On the one hand, Chen Linfeng admired their good vision, but on the other hand, he felt uncomfortable.
These human beings do have skills, but they say they are helping, but in fact they are just standing on the dry shore and shouting.
If you think there is hope that something will happen, just give it a try secretly. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. It won't have any impact on them anyway.
The same is true for the account-sharing ratio negotiation that Han Shanping and the others conducted.
In fact, this is what the higher-ups should take the lead in doing.
However, if you can see his purpose and use your strength quietly from behind, you can't say that he didn't do his best.
Chen Linfeng still has to accept the favor.
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Linfeng chuckled and said, "No wonder all the talented people become officials. They can see further and understand clearly than others."
Mr. Tie said angrily, "Don't say such weird things. There are indeed many constraints within the system. Although they have great power, it is really not easier than you to promote certain things."
She sighed, "What does it mean to be an official? That's it. There are not many strong people in any industry who can transcend ordinary situations.
Since the development of the country, it is indeed not easy to change many rules.
You have to be a genius like Xiao Chen to be qualified to do such a thing.
Otherwise, everyone will think, why are you here instead of me, and then bad things will begin. ”
She seemed to feel deeply about it, but after talking about it, she felt like she was complaining and stopped immediately.
"Anyway, don't dislike your Aunt Tie, I can only be the coward behind you."
"Auntie Tie is joking. Without you helping me from the beginning, I wouldn't have been able to do anything."
"Okay, the more we talk, the farther we go. To achieve your goal, this matter is not something that can happen in a day or two. Let's wait until after the Golden Rooster Awards to talk about it slowly. Then you and Sissi come to the house to sit together. .”
"The relationship is good." Chen Linfeng agreed.
This year's Golden Rooster Awards will be held in Hefei. He and Liu Qianqian arrived here in advance to find a good hotel.
When we arrived, it was exactly 6pm.
Fortunately, they booked the hotel earlier.
So many filmmakers came to the local area, plus some media reporters and fan groups who came to join in the fun, which brought a lot of load to the local area.
The relatively high-end hotels in the city are basically fully booked.
The two put their luggage away, and Liu Qianqian was excited to take Chen Linfeng out for a walk.
"It happens to be the night market now, how about we go look for the delicious snacks here?"
"It's not that great. I still feel comfortable staying at home."
Liu Qianqian puffed up her face and said, "You didn't even take me on our honeymoon, and you won't go shopping now. Why do I feel like our marriage is not married?"
"Didn't you say that you are waiting for the Golden Rooster Award? I will take you to play after the Golden Rooster Award is over."
Chen Linfeng moved his hands twice, as if coaxing a child, and then continued to lower his head and do his own work.
He recently found a novel that he had never read in his previous life, and he is enjoying reading it now.
In his words, this is called drawing materials.
Liu Qianqian was dissatisfied, came behind him and pounced, her whole body hanging on him.
"Stop making trouble, hey, there's a call."
Chen Linfeng signaled her to pause and picked up.
"Hello, who's there?"
A steady voice came, "Have you arrived in Hefei?"
"It's Brother Jiao, he just arrived..."
"You probably haven't eaten yet. We haven't been together for a long time. Why don't we come out and have a meal together?"
Chen Linfeng glanced at Sissi behind him and said, "That's okay. Sissi comes with me. I'll go with her."
"That's a good feeling."
Chen Linfeng put away the phone and waved his hands towards Liu Qianqian, "Grant your wish and let's go."
……
The agreed location was a restaurant near Huaihe Road.
The most famous thing around here is Li Hongzhang's former residence, which occupies half of the street.
After Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian got out of the car, they just looked east and they could see it.
Liu Qianqian was speechless, "The place is so big. No wonder Prime Minister Hefei is said to be thin in the world."
Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "You also know this, don't underestimate it."
Liu Qianqian wrinkled her nose, "I always look down on people. I also know the second half of the sentence, 'Sinong Changshu, the world is desolate'."
"Awesome." Chen Linfeng praised sincerely.
The former sentence is relatively famous and can be found in history textbooks, but the latter sentence is relatively rare.
"You and your wife are really interesting, and you want to discuss some historical knowledge."
Jiao Enjun was waiting outside to greet people in advance and happened to hear the conversation just now.
"Just kidding," Chen Linfeng laughed, walked over and gave him a hug.
He looked up and down. He still looked very heroic, but the hairline on his forehead was a bit regressed.
He couldn't help but sigh, "We haven't seen each other for a while."
"Yes, I heard that you were getting married some time ago. I thought I could have a banquet, but I didn't get the chance." Jiao Enjun said with a slightly complaining tone.
"I'm sorry, my family doesn't want to make it too big. It won't look good if we don't know who to invite to the friends in the circle. It's just the family setting a table together."
He has been asked about this a lot recently, and now he has a fixed answer routine.
Entering the restaurant, Zhao Feihong and Chen Chuang were standing in the lobby waiting. As soon as they saw them, they immediately greeted them with smiles.
"Director Chen, Sissi, you are here."
"Why don't you just wait inside? Let's go in first."
At a gathering like this, eating is secondary and chatting is the main focus.
Chen Linfeng asked about the current status of several of them.
The better thing is that Zhao Feihong's original case has been settled.
As an actor who was harmed by short essays in the early days, he finally has a result.
The relevant parties who spread rumors about him were ordered to pay more than 700,000 yuan, which was considered a punishment.
But Zhao Feihong was more affected. In the past few years, even with Long Lin's help, production has dropped significantly due to the distraction of the lawsuit.
The second-tier niche students in the past were always able to play the protagonists of some costume dramas at their peak.
Nowadays, it is almost impossible to rank.
Zhao Feihong is only in his 30s. He should have been at his most glorious as an actor, but now he has been delayed because of this kind of thing.
Several people present were full of sighs when they talked about it.
Zhao Feihong himself was somewhat unwilling to do so.
However, when Chen Linfeng saw his expression, he felt that it was okay, at least it was not like in his previous life, when he was so frustrated that he simply withdrew from the circle.
As long as you are still motivated, have accumulated popularity in the past, and have the ability, it is not particularly difficult to become popular.
Longlin's output is now gradually increasing, and there is no shortage of opportunities.
In fact, speaking of it, Long Lin has really gathered a lot of actors who were popular in the past but are now gradually declining due to some reasons.
People like Yu Bo, Cao Jun, and Xie Miao are now collaborating more with Long Lin.

In fact, Jiao Enjun is almost in the same situation.
In the past, when costumed martial arts dramas and mythological dramas became popular, they were the top priority in the industry.
Nowadays, many companies in the industry have changed their direction and turned into modern dramas, historical dramas, idol dramas, and fairy tale dramas.
Those of them who are relatively good at fighting are a bit out of place.
I have to say that there may be some influence factors of Chen Linfeng in this.
In addition to his early "Baolian Lantern" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", his later hit dramas were either historical dramas, modern dramas and idol dramas.
As a result, many domestic film and television companies have begun to follow the trend and produce similar themes. Even the fairy tale genre has been helped by the hit "Zhu Xian" in the past two years.
Now the second part of "Zhu Xian" has been filmed, and it is still very popular.
Zhang Junning, Liu Shishi, and Jing Tian were therefore promoted to first-line stars in TV series.
This has even attracted many companies to adopt follow-up strategies in selecting topics.
The fairy tale drama genre has become a big hit in advance.
However, it is slightly different from the garbage that will be called the ancient puppet fairy in later generations. Because of the special effects of "Zhu Xian", it clearly surpasses the current TV series of the same period.
Then there is the case of "Your Name" earlier this year.
Many companies attach much higher importance to special effects than in previous generations.
Big IP + good screenwriter + special effects have become the password for success today.
The latter two are basically the distinctive features of Chen Linfeng's works.
When Jiao Enjun, Zhao Feihong, and Chen Chuang talked about this, they all sighed.
"Nowadays, many crews shoot directly against the green screen, requiring people to imagine and make expressions out of thin air. The acting classes learned in school suddenly become useless."
The person who said this was Chen Chuang. He was born in Yanying. He was originally capable of acting in anything, but now the green screen made him a little overwhelmed and felt like he couldn't do anything.
"Yeah, it's only been a few years, and it's already behind the times."
"But fortunately, the action movie series that Xiaolong is currently working on has room for us to play." The reason why Zhao Feihong is more confident lies in this.
Jiao Enjun nodded and said, "Yeah, martial arts are no longer filmed in TV series. Movies are a way out."
He is not an action actor, but he still faces problems.
The number of formal costume dramas is decreasing. Nowadays, they all have some idol elements and all they need are young actors.
Especially last year's "Palace" and "Bu Bu Jing Xin" set the market on fire.
Fortunately, Long Lin is still there. Because of their relationship with Pingshi Film and Television City, they film more costume dramas.
Screenwriters who have collaborated more often tend to be more serious. Even "The Ming Dynasty", a very entertaining historical drama, has elements of a serious drama.
This also forms a special point for Long Lin - they like to use old actors, or in other words, mature actors.
Therefore, it was once nicknamed the "Old Man's Club" in the industry.
This is very different from other companies in the industry.
Other companies don't like to learn this from him.
They don't have Long Lin's ability. It's not like they can always produce hit dramas, and now they have formed a brand effect.
When they have a brokerage business, they are more inclined to cultivate new popular stars, who are actually idols.
Then you can enjoy the dividends for several years.
The income is more profitable than just filming a drama, and it is more stable.
This leads to them hiring actors mainly from their own company, and other actors are just foils.
When it comes to selecting scripts, they are often based on idol drama-type scripts, focusing on youth.
This trend is taking hold.
There is one group of companies that are learning from the Dragon Scale approach, and there is another group of companies that are this young.
There are crossovers between the two.
It is for this reason that many veteran actors like to work with Long Lin.
The market changes so fast that it would be very confusing at first, but after all, there are companies that appreciate them and give them room to display.
Why does Long Lin, including Chen Linfeng, have such a good reputation in the industry?
In this selection process of a century-old classic in film history, many people of the older generation failed to get on the train.
They just complained a few times in public channels and did not take any more extreme actions.
Why?
There is a reason for this.
Which old guy in the circle doesn't have a large group of students, apprentices, or relatives and friends.
Many of their descendants now rely on dragon scales, and they may also rely on unicorns for their livelihood in the future.
Xiao Chen, if nothing else, at least cares about those who have real abilities and will not blindly praise newcomers.
They used various channels to criticize Xiao Chen, and many of them were directly persuaded to go back by their relatives, friends, and descendants.
Long Lin can maintain today's employment principles without developing a brokerage business.
Their screenwriting is systematic and they are not keen on making idol dramas.
Moreover, the production of dragon scales is still increasing.
Due to various reasons, many mature actors in the past have hopes and affection for him.
Even if you are a famous actor today, don't you worry that one day you will become less popular and have nothing to eat?
It is indeed true that things are universally connected.
Chen Linfeng listened to the discussion among several people and drank his drink silently.
My thoughts wandered a little far just now, but now I have brought them back, thinking about the martial arts drama issues mentioned by several people.
Although martial arts dramas are still in decline even without him, and they will die cleanly.
But he is somewhat of an acceleration item.
Besides, the problem is there, we can’t pretend not to see it.
He didn't want this group of people who could fight to be left behind because of the evolution of the times.
Other types of mature actors can still make a living by watching TV series.
Action actors are not good. They have no advantage in performance and are more professional.
And Long Lin also had to consider market factors, as he hasn't filmed a martial arts drama in several years.
Thinking about the years before he time traveled, Yishui's martial arts relied on slow motion, and there were not many actors in the industry who could fight.
Can you believe it? Shi Xiaolong and Xie Miao, two child stars back then, have become the only ones to carry the banner in action movies!
In this case, you still have to rely on other methods.
After finishing the meal, on the way back, Liu Qianqian saw that he was always worried, so she asked,
"What are you thinking about? I keep frowning."
"I wonder when TV drama audiences will like to watch martial arts dramas or TV dramas with action elements again."
Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes and said, "You told me at the beginning that with the development of the times, girls have gradually become the mainstream audience of TV dramas. Most of them will definitely not like to fight and kill."
"Yeah, they won't like this." Chen Linfeng murmured to himself.
"We can only find another way and open a new track."
"How to find another way?" Liu Qianqian asked curiously.
"Keep it secret!"
Liu Qianqian: "..."
This year's Golden Rooster Awards not only have to carry out the normal awarding process, but also the century-old classics in film history are the top priority.
Chen Linfeng arrived early because he also wanted to see how the organizing committee's preparations were going.
The organizing committee of the event not only included the original personnel of the Golden Rooster Awards, but also many people from this group were sent to join.
The entire process was handled through consultation by everyone.
The organizing committee of the Golden Rooster Awards was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do about it. Not only did they come, there were also a bunch of people with backgrounds.
They don't have to do anything, they just need to be responsible for giving full play to the advantages of the second generation and finding connections to pressure them when things can't be reached.
It’s definitely uncomfortable to be oppressed by a related party, but if the related party belongs to your side, then you will be very happy.
When Chen Linfeng went there, they were having a brief rehearsal.
Professional lighting engineers and stage teams smoothed the entire process.
He stood under the stage and watched. The professional team was different and felt that there should be no problem.
"Hello Mr. Chen, this process should be more in line with your wishes."
Chen Linfeng turned around and saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes, who looked about thirty or forty years old.
He understood clearly and stretched out his hand, "It must be Mr. Ye."
Ye Yunsheng smiled and said, "Just call me Yun Sheng. I have always wanted to meet this great writer like you."
"They have one head and two eyes, what's the point?"
"That's different. The things in our heads are not as valuable as the ones in yours."
Going back to what the other party said just now, Chen Linfeng praised, "This set of activity procedures is really good. Mr. Ye, you are really attentive."
"No matter where, this is all thanks to everyone."
Facing the second and third generations, Chen Linfeng already has sufficient experience in communication.
He chatted with the other party about the event in an unhurried manner, but the topic was vague.
From this, he also learned something about Ye Yunsheng.
They intend to develop in Wenhuakou. According to him, this time they are temporarily transferred to help.
At the end of the day, Ye Yunsheng said,
"If Mr. Chen has any ideas, you might as well talk to me later. Maybe we all coincide with each other and have the same ideas."
Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "If I have any ideas, even if I really have some opinions or suggestions, I usually tell Auntie Tie first.
I don’t understand many things, maybe it’s just my fantasy that day, I always have to ask first if it’s true. ”
"Yes, this is a mature and prudent idea."
Chen Linfeng said he wanted to go somewhere else to see and left for the time being.
Ye Yunsheng stood there and looked at the other person's retreating figure, silent and not speaking.
"How about Brother Ye, is Director Chen and Writer Chen a good person to talk to?"
"He is quite nice, but he is cautious and not very cooperative."
