Chapter 547: Make a fortune in nothing? (6k)
On the 20th, the crew of "The Battle of Song and Meng" held a celebration meeting of over 1 billion yuan and invited Chen Linfeng to attend.
The celebration meeting is located in Yanjing, which is quite convenient.
Chen Linfeng decided to join in the fun with Shi Xiaolong.
The venue was held in a large scale, and many media reporters came.
These reporters were very surprised, but they didn't expect to see Chen Linfeng coming. They thought this person would not appear in a few months.
"Director Chen, are you here to attend the celebration meeting?"
"Isn't this obvious?"
"When I cooperated with Director Zhang for the second time, the effect is so good, will there be a third cooperation?"
"Depending on the situation, I don't know what will happen in the future."
"..."
"What are Shi Xiaolong's plans this year?"
"Continue to make an action movie, I can only do this." Shi Xiaolong replied with a smile.
Faced with more reporters, he can now joke with his usual face when he is interviewed. "Let Director Chen give you an idea, he must have a good idea." The reporter urged.
Chen Linfeng glared, "You are relaxed in your words, it's me who is busy with you." "Haha, have you seen it? My brother is a very busy person."
The year has not yet ended, and neither of them is very interested in opening business.
Just say a few words to the reporters, and then they squeeze out of the crowd. "Are these reporters doing this all year round? Why do you feel so excited all year round?" Shi Xiaolong complained.
"As a worker, just increase the money, everything is easy to say." Chen Linfeng felt a little empathetic when he thought of his working life in his previous life.
Shi Xiaolong was full of question marks.
How do you empathize with the workers? You capitalist.
The red carpet was not long, and the two walked by casually.
The two photos are at the entrance of the venue at the end of the red carpet.
It can be seen that Zhang Yimou himself is very proud.
The face that always looks sad on weekdays is always smiling, and never stops.
Seeing Chen Linfeng arrived, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The great hero is finally here."
"Hey, what kind of hero I am? The movies are all made by you. So many actors work together to present the effect so well."
Zhang Yimou smiled even brighter, "You are welcome, your script is very important."
Zhang Weiping also came to say hello with a smile, "Director Chen, Xiaolong, welcome."
"Congratulations on the box office for exceeding one billion."
The two congratulated each other.
Behind you can see Zhao Yanzi walking by the red carpet, Chen Linfeng interrupted the topic, "Let's go in first, and then talk."
There are already many people in the venue, and they are coming soon or later.
Jiang Wen was also there, and he and his younger brother Jiang Wu were sitting at the same table.
Chen Linfeng walked straight toward the other side.
Shi Xiaolong took advantage of the situation to separate, so he was not interested in chatting with his younger brother's friends.
He always messes with his younger brother.
Chen Linfeng lets him go. Xiaolong is now a top male star, so he doesn't need him to help introduce his relationship.
"Brother Jiang, what are you busy with recently?" "Oh, the director of Sanjin is here." Jiang Wen teased, "How is it like crowning the crown?" "That's all." Chen Linfeng smacked his lips and shook his head, "After getting it, I felt empty. Why did I pursue this at the beginning? It's so boring." "Hey, you're still panting when you say you're fat." Jiang Wen glared, "I don't want to give it to me."
"Haha, that's not possible." "Director Chen, your pretentiousness is really perfect, but he is much better than my brother." Jiang Wu gave a thumbs up.
"Yes, it's rare to show off than Brother Jiang."
Jiang Wen was dissatisfied, "How do you speak? I'm just awesome and never pretend."
"You see, you pretend very well."
After the joke was played, Chen Linfeng sat down with the flow.
At this time, he saw Chen Kaige enter the venue and waved his hand quickly, "Director Kaige, here."
Chen Kaige saw Chen Linfeng at the first sight. He was about to turn his head and pretend that he didn't see it, but he didn't expect the other party to wave to him.
I sighed helplessly in my heart and walked over.
"Xiao Chen, I haven't seen each other for a while, congratulations."
"I haven't seen each other for a long time. Director Kaige is here to sit down, so let's talk together."
Chen Kaige just wanted to slap himself.
What did you say that I haven't seen you for a long time.
"It's still not, I..." Jiang Wen also spoke, "Director Chen, who else can you make an appointment with?"
Having said that, Chen Kaige was really hard to refuse, so he could only sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Wen said, "Xiao Chen, after you get these three gold medals, will it be different immediately?"
"Can you know that you must talk about the topic of winning the three gold medals."
"Of course it's different." Chen Kaige whispered, "He is much more proud now than in the past."
He knew that sitting here would definitely talk about the topic of winning the three gold medals.
Now he can't listen to this.
He did not attend the first two Beijing Circle parties.
Chen Kaige changed the topic and talked about "The Battle of Song and Meng". He would rather praise this movie.
"This movie is really good. I understand the advantages you mentioned before. Lao Mouzi is awesome in the whole scene, the camera is also good, and your script is really a bit transformed." Chen Linfeng nodded, "That's what I mean. I just watched it again in the cinema. I feel that it is not an exaggeration to say it is the best ancient war movie in these years."
He said he was a screenwriter, but he just came up with some ideas to adjust the rhythm of the later stage.
With the participation of the entire movie, Chen Linfeng did not hesitate at all. "It's almost the same, and the box office is also very obvious. Anyway, it's much better than "Red Cliff" and much better than the "Guan Yunchang" I filmed in the previous two years." Jiang Wen agreed and even used himself as a negative case.
Jiang Wu was also interested in participating in the topic.
"If you want me to tell me, this movie is good, it's good to be in the siege scene, which makes people excited."
He looked at Chen Linfeng, "I remember "The Tang Empire" had similar scenes."
"Well, I just tried it casually at the beginning, and the budget was not that high, so I couldn't shoot like him."
"The fishing city in the movie is really exciting. Is it a scene in reality?"
"It should be a special effect?" Chen Kaige answered uncertainly.
Chen Linfeng nodded, "Well, it's probably a special effect."
At this time, the guests were almost there, and Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping entered the venue.
Han Shanping came late and came in with them.
Chen Linfeng waved his hand again, shouting that Zhang Yimou and Han Shanping would come and sit down, and then continued the topic just now.
"We are discussing whether Diaoyu City is real or special effects in your movie, and you can decrypt it."
"There are real and fake. It's really not easy to build a city wall under that terrain, so I built a similar city wall as the foundation, and the rest of the difference is the special effects."
Chen Linfeng understood it as soon as he heard it, just like in the previous life "The Wandering Earth", many special effects also have physical foundations.
It will be much easier to get special effects on this.
Chen Kaige asked with interest, "Can he still be half true and half false?"
He doesn't know much about this.
"Well, the special effects are developed now, and many effects that were difficult to achieve in the past can be matched with special effects."
Founding hard to make a film, of course I want my colleagues to know the technical content in it.
Zhang Yimou is now gradually experiencing the pleasure of pretending to behave in front of his peers and enjoying it.
So he explained in detail how he made the film "The Battle of Song and Meng" so well.
The other people listened carefully and asked questions from time to time.
Seeing that Lao Touzi had evolved, they also wanted to catch up.
The atmosphere is very good, and Chen Linfeng also praises him one or two from time to time.
On the stage, Zhang Weiping began to exaggerate the success of this "Battle of Song and Meng".
After talking for a long time, he called Zhang Yimou to the stage.
I originally wanted to call Chen Linfeng, but he refused.
However, Zhang Weiping seemed to have suddenly learned to be a human being. He praised Chen Linfeng's contribution to the script and his investment without blinking.
Preferred to it as a great contributor to the success of the movie.
The others at the scene looked at Director Chen from time to time and agreed.
This guy really does film and does not even make any investment.
The atmosphere of celebration on stage was strong, and the few people in the audience clapped and continued to chat.
Han Shanping cared about the release date of "The Joker".
"It's probably April. Almost all Oscar movies have been there during this period, and the final schedule is scheduled for April."
When it comes to Oscars, this year Li An would win the Best Director for the second time with "Pi's Fantasy Drifting".
But in this life, because the copyright was taken by Chen Linfeng early, Li An was filming other films, and probably could not achieve this achievement.
Otherwise, it was all in February, and he, the director of the three gold medals, would probably be stolen.
"Yes, then will it be in the summer season in China then?" Han Shanping asked.
"There is another movie "The Shocking Demons" to be released in the summer season."
"It can be done at the end."
"It's okay."
Chen Kaige took over the conversation, "Xiao Chen, we talked about a movie before. I have already written the story you told with the screenwriter. Will you take a look at it when you look back?"
Han Shanping became interested, "New movie? Are you working together?" Jiang Wen asked, "What type of thing, tell me?" So Chen Kaige roughly explained the outline according to the script.
After hearing this, Chen Linfeng was not much different from what he said, at most it was a matter of rhythm.
Jiang Wen's eyes lit up, "Yes, this is the selection of materials and angles."
"This is all Xiao Chen's idea. He said that most of the older generation of directors have good skills in cameras and pictures, but the story rhythm and script are weaker, so it is better to use history and avoid weaknesses."
Chen Kaige did not hide his weaknesses in the script in front of everyone.
Anyway, everyone seems to know this, but he only realized it later.
Han Shanping clenched his high-five and sighed, "This method is good. Zhang Yimou's "The Battle of Song and Meng" is a typical example. With Xiao Chen's script supporting it, the quality of the entire movie suddenly increased."
Jiang Wen thought for a while and said, "The idea is good, but it is adapted based on history. In fact, it is not that simple."
Think about "The King's Feast" and "Red Cliff", and then the "Guan Yunchang" he has acted in, both of which are typical.
There are so many wonderful stories about the Three Kingdoms, but there are not many good Three Kingdoms historical movies. "So I'm asking Xiao Chen for help, I'm sure of his level."
"The most important thing is that he can control it and prevent you from changing the script."
Han Shanping pointed straight at the core, "Xiao Chen, after the filming of the post-production film, you still have to be attentive."
"Kai Ge, you have to let Xiao Chen see it and let him give you an idea.
This is not embarrassing. Didn't you see that Zhang Yimou did this?"
Chen Kai Ge nodded in response.
Chen Linfeng rolled his eyes, "Why do I feel like I'm getting busier and busier?"
Chen Kaige hurriedly stated, "I'm also a good person to invest in this area. You can take the majority of the money, but if you can't, you can calculate part of it alone."
Chen Linfeng waved his hand, "It depends on you. If you really can't attract investment, it's not too late for me to help."
That's the case, but Chen Kaige has made up his mind to do what Lao Taozi will do, and he will do what he can do.
Since "The Promise", I have been scolded for so many years, so I can't be scolded forever.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
He still remembered the bet they made together.
Xiao Chen and Zhang Yimou both have movies worth over 1 billion. If they don’t even have a movie worth over 1 billion in the end, it would be too ugly.
Jiang Wen obviously thought of this problem too.
He was a little panicked, and the old guys all ran away one by one, which was a trend that he wanted to give up. "Xiao Chen, one sheep is also driven, two sheep are also put, add one."
He was a little proud after all.
"I'll show you the script and help me come up with ideas, invest..." Jiang Wen gritted his teeth, "I'll tell Boss Yang and let him give up some share."
A little proud, but not much.
Chen Linfeng was speechless. Is he participating in a poverty alleviation organization for the elderly directors?
I can't be reborn again, it's mainly to help you restore your reputation.
Feng Xiaogang, who was unable to attend because of something, suddenly felt a chill in his heart and felt like he had lost something.
He looked around and looked suspiciously, but found nothing.
…
During mid-to-late February, Hollywood is busy.
This can be heard from Pete's phone.
He had a movie last year, and he had hope to compete, so he helped "The Joker" with public relations and rushed back immediately.
Now, in the Oscar segment, he has greatly increased his voice because he helped several films win awards.
Even had some minor conflicts with Weinstein because it affected the big guy behind the Oscars making money.
Of course, with Weinstein's personality, more people have had conflicts with him.
Peter is nothing.
On the phone, he focused on confirming the release date of "The Joker" with Chen Linfeng.
"No problem at this time. If you want to win the Oscar movie, there are two modes in the beginning and end of the year."
"Since we are released in the year, the film will help you win the Grand Slam of the Three Gold, I will also make adjustments to marketing."
Peter said with a smile, "chen, after the Berlin Film Festival, there are a lot of news and rumors about you in Hollywood."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"Many people say that you must have been kissed by the goddess of luck in your previous life." Chen Linfeng thought about his two-life experience and felt that he was really aware.
But this goddess of luck must be the god of China.
In Chinese mythology, who is the one who is in charge of luck?
Chen Linfeng recalled a little.
Made, three stars of blessing, fortune, longevity, old man and god.
"Bah, I'm sure this is not true!"
"I have also received a lot of invitations from the media. They couldn't understand why they contacted me."
"You know, they think we have a good relationship, so let me persuade you."
"We have a good relationship."
"We have a good relationship."
Hearing this, Pit was very happy, "chen, you are my best friend."
"Where is Noma, what is he?"
Peter coughed, "That can only be considered a friend."
"Friend who plays golf and goes into a hole?"
"..."
"..."
Pitt pulled back to the topic, "There is a show I think is good here. It seems that I want to gather you and the big directors from Hollywood and Europe, and everyone sit together to talk about movies."
"I think you would like this kind of discussion more."
Chen Linfeng shook his head, "I definitely like private communication and discussion. In front of the camera, everyone can't let go, so it's a bit boring."
"You said the same, but the opportunity is rare. I heard that Spielberg and Cameron both seemed a little interested."
"Huh?" Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows, "If it is true, you can try it."
"I knew you would like it."
Peter said, "Let me contact you later?"
"Yes, that's fine."
"There's one more thing, Disney's upper class is already eager to launch "Infinite World 2."
"I know this, haven't the time been arranged? After the filming of "Shen Xia", I will join the group."
"Okay, everyone will come with your time."
After the phone hung up, Chen Linfeng contacted Sister Mei and asked the director about the program where the chat was.
"I noticed this before," said Sister Mei. "It's just that this show has a criminal record and always talks nonsense, so I'm still confirming the specific situation, so I didn't tell you."
"You mean, the invitation to Spielberg and Cameron might be fake."
"I'm just not sure, so I'm thinking about getting some news."
Well, Chen Linfeng understands that it is most likely fake.
Fortunately, he and Pitt had a word first. If it was true, they would be willing to try it. They were not sure of death.
After knowing his agreement with Pete, Sister Mei said, "It's better if you agree like this. I guess they will take the news that you are willing to participate in the show and go to those directors."
Chen Linfeng felt so familiar when he heard it.
Isn't this the story of Bill Gates' son-in-law and the vice president of the World Bank?
Jiang Wen also seemed to have done this trick when filming "Let the Bullets Fly".
Feeling comes, I'm making a fuss.
Chen Linfeng was amused and cried, so he decided to just do it for the time being.
The program team really wants to invite a group of world-class directors, so it may not be impossible for him to really go on the show to join in the fun.
In late February, when the school started.
Chen Linfeng went to Yanying Academy for a while.
Two banners hung in front of the school gate.
One is "Warm congratulations to our teacher Chen Linfeng on winning the Berlin Golden Bear Award."
The other banner has a few words, which has become "realizing the three major European film festivals and three gold medals".
The previous time after "Sunset" won the Cannes award, three in a row.
Zhang Yimou's two, and his one.
Now it becomes his exclusive.
The teachers in the school had known that Chen Linfeng would come, and they all came to see him like a gathering.
In the end, Wang Rui drove the person away. "These people are like stars who have never met before. They are not young anymore, so why are they joining in the fun?"
As he said that, he looked at Chen Linfeng eagerly.
"Xiao Chen, in the second half of this year, when the new class starts, do you want to gather a new group of students?"
Chen Linfeng nodded, "It's okay, but by then, many people may be assigned to the crew of Guo Fan, Lu Yang and others."
"It's okay, you can do it."
Wang Rui didn't care at all, "As long as he can train himself to become a talent, he will live up to their hard work in the past few years."
Speaking of this, Wang Rui was a little distressed.
"In the past two years, the output in the industry has increased significantly, but the chances of newcomers are still left to the newcomers.
Many students come back and talk about this problem. We teachers are trying our best to help, and it is a drop in the bucket."
Chen Linfeng said, "There is no way, some old guys occupy the position and do not move, and there are talents outside the industry entering. Now the threshold for making movies and TV series is getting lower and lower."
"But the quality of the film is getting lower and lower."
Wang Rui complained, "The current TV series is not as good as before."
"Think about when you were still filming TV series, there were too many good dramas in that era."
"I am not too fond of the past. In those years, even if you removed the few movies you handled, the quality of other dramas was very high."
Chen Linfeng echoed, "I feel it is almost the same."
But from the bottom of his heart, he felt that relatively speaking, it is much better now.
At this time in his previous life, Yu Yan's plays made the aesthetics in the industry look like.
Now there is at least Long Lin taking the lead. Many dramas are still good, plus those who follow Feng Long Lin.
The overall situation is pretty good, leaving behind many male audiences.
When talking about this, Chen Linfeng said, "I have also had an idea recently to compile a long script and make it into a web drama."
Wang Rui was very interested, "What theme?"
"Since you all say you have an idea, you should have already figured out the story in your mind. Can you tell me?" Chen Linfeng roughly talked about his thoughts.
Wang Rui shook his head when he heard this, "Your story will definitely not be able to pass the review, it is obviously a tampering with history."
Chen Linfeng said helplessly, "Teacher, I am called a fiction in online articles, and in terms of ideas, it is very different from online articles."
"It's still difficult for you to pass the review,"
Wang Rui thought that Chen Linfeng was opposite, and his voice was a little weaker.
"Even if it's you, I feel that the chance of passing the review is not high."
"Well, I know," Chen Linfeng nodded, "So I plan to make an online drama."
"Web drama?" Wang Rui frowned, "The quality of online dramas now..."
He wanted to shake his head again, but then he thought, is it possible that the production could be shoddy when written by Chen Linfeng?
He kind of understood what the other party was thinking.
"If this is the case, there are basically no regulatory measures in online dramas now, so it is possible that you will be confused."
"Just..." He hesitated a little, "There may be a lot of noise at that time, and it is difficult to say what the result will be."
"So I'm here to ask for help from the teacher."
Chen Linfeng took it for granted, "I am still a member of the school. If there is a dispute in public opinion, teachers can't watch me and ignore it, right?"
Wang Rui clicked, "Don't forget, you are also a teacher now."
"Then you have to pay more attention. I am the pride of our school."
Chen Linfeng thought of the big red banner at the school gate and said with confidence.
