Chapter 549: The Chosen of God is Too Strong (6ks, please vote for monthly votes)
After coming to London, the first thing you have to face is the media in Europe.
The reputation of "Detective Sherlock" was very good in both seasons, and the audience in Europe was looking forward to it.
The media naturally need to worry about what the public is anxious about and what they think.
For several days, Chen Linfeng took turns to interview newspapers and magazines such as The Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, Empire, and Vogue.
The report was sent as fast as possible, attracting a lot of attention from many European people.
It has been at least two years since the last time "Sherlock Detective" was aired.
Everyone is really looking forward to it.
The past two seasons of TV series have been very popular so far.
Whether it is on social platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, or film and television forums, the frequency of appearance is still considerable.
On the YouTube channel, various edits and second-creation videos of "Detective Sherlock" are very high.
Every time there are related videos that can make it to the popular rankings.
So, when I learned that Chen Linfeng came to London and was interviewed a lot.
The string in the public's mind was stirred up.
In interviews with many media, questions about "Detective Sherlock" will of course be asked, which is also a part of the publicity.
"Is the third season of the drama "Sherlock" filmed in reference to the second half of the second part of the novel?"
"Please keep this confidential for the time being. We have to wait for the crew's promotional plan."
In fact, this time, the third part of the novel, which is the plot of the second season of the original work.
But the original season 2 ended with Moriarty killing himself by swallowing a gun.
Moriarty, the villain, cannot go offline, and he will continue to fight with Sherlock later.
In fact, this villain was too early to go offline in the previous life, so that she could only play Sherlock's sister in the fourth season, and her reputation dropped significantly.
So, when Chen Linfeng was writing the novel, he removed the content of the original season 4.
Suvet had plans with him for the subsequent plot.
The following season four will introduce the content of the second half of the previous second novel.
The plot of the movie "Detective Sherlock Holmes 2" in his previous life was quite grand.
Put the background throughout Europe.
Moriarty frantically provoked trouble, just to create tension in Europe.
The era background of the original movie is of course a war.
Now it is changed to the TV series "Sherlock", and the times have also changed to the 21st century, but in fact it is still the same routine.
Just adjust the angle slightly.
As soon as the new century began, there was a terrorist attack in Europe almost every once in a while.
Tak it as the background and then connect the target of the conspiracy with Xiong Er’s incident in 2014.
The plot of the TV series can be set as Sherlock temporarily stops Moriarty's conspiracy (refers to the fact that there is no big deal in peace in several years in 14 years).
But the root of the disaster has been planted, and there will be a battle in the future.
Isn't it beautiful to be a prophet in this way?
"When will the fourth novel "Sherlock Detective" be released?"
"Uh, I'm already writing."
"Will the future version of "Sherlock" still be released in two years?"
"Is it not sure, I hope this can be done."
"You said you are not sure because of the pay issues of the actors?"
"With this factor, it is a good thing for everyone to like the TV series "Shen Xia" but the pay of actors has increased a lot, which is also a fact. Therefore, the producers must consider the income."
In fact, the existence of Long Lin has increased the revenue in Asia and the investment is shared by more companies. The production is relatively better than in previous lives.
After all, a large part of Chen Linfeng's own salary is converted into a share.
No matter how much the pay for other actors are, they will not increase faster than that of Benedict in his previous life. "I heard that Martin Freeman once said that fans have too high expectations for the "Summer" series, which makes him unable to enjoy the filming process. What do you think of this statement?"
"There is something like this? Maybe because I don't have relevant experience in China, I can't experience a similar feeling very much.
But that's the case, I really hope that fans can be relatively calm. If Martin feels bored with "Summer", it may affect the shooting of the series. I think this is something that movie fans don't want to see."
On March 5, "Summer Detective" held a launch conference.
The fanaticism of the media and fans is not to mention. Chen Linfeng can understand Martin Freeman's thoughts a little.
But think about it, it seemed that there was a rumor that Martin didn't want to continue filming in his previous life, and he also shouted from Benedict's media.
Chen Linfeng felt it was necessary to pay attention to this issue.
After the shooting started, he observed it for a while and felt that Martin was in good condition and was not really affected.
One day after the filming, he found Martin, invited him to a bar for a drink, and talked about this question by the way. "I heard that you are a little tired of the drama "Sherlock" because of your fans?"
Hearing this, Martin nodded hesitantly.
Fearing that the other party was misunderstood, he immediately explained, "I won't affect the shooting."
"I know, your recent performance is as good as ever."
Martin breathed a sigh of relief. He just complained, but he didn't want to affect Chen's opinion.
He further explained, "Actually, it is not as exaggerated as the media said. I am just a little disappointed with the fanatical behavior of some fans. I am not thinking about the series "Summer". "
Martin talked about his experience of being surrounded by fans when he was on a trip some time ago.
Chen Linfeng was much more relieved.
This situation is quite common for a star, and he shouldn't want to not act.
That's too pretentious.
He remembered in his previous life that the fourth season had a bad reputation, and the fifth season was delayed after the fourth season, so many people scolded him online.
There are even more extreme fans, saying that you'd better shoot the fifth season for me, or you're a shameless bastard.
With too much negative feedback, Martin can't stand it.
This is different from now on.
But no matter what, this still reminded him.
No matter what, it is best to maintain the speed of the two-year season.
In addition, reputation is also very important.
If the entire series of "Detective Sherlock" can be maintained at more than 9 points, then the evaluation of this drama will definitely be much better than in the previous life.
Chen Linfeng decided to make the original "Divine Summer" three seasons + "Detective Sherlock Holmes" two, a total of 5 seasons as all the contents of the entire series.
In other words, the novel "Sherlock 4" will be released next, and it can be concluded directly.
The next day, he informed the chief producer Suweit of his thoughts.
Suwei was shocked and quickly stopped him.
"The third episode of the series is just about to be filmed, and you are thinking about the end?"
"Why do you have to be so fast? What if you have a new idea in the past two years?"
"chen, I know what a genius writer you are. In your 20s, or at the peak of your creation, you will definitely have new ideas."
Suweit, like an editor of Neon Comics Publishing House, tried his best to persuade Chen Linfeng not to finish it.
It was almost like kneeling down for him.
In other words, if it is useful to kneel down, she will definitely kowtow for a few times without hesitation.
Chen Linfeng said speechlessly, "I have all my inspiration for Sherlock, and I have perceived this very clearly and clearly."
He had to say in a serious tone, "I am a writer, and in the eyes of some people, I am still a genius.
I have sufficient experience in when to complete it to ensure the best state of the story. Please believe this."
Chen Linfeng gave "Success Science" and "Genius Theory".
Suvet was not defended enough and was sunk.
She couldn't say anything else, so she could only find the English-Guangzhou higher-level team and hoped to let others persuade her.
After only two days, Marconi and Tony Hall visited.
Now, Marconi, who was only an executive and producer at the time, has been promoted to a senior executive of BBC TV news and current affairs programs.
It is similar to Tony Hall's power at the beginning.
The first discovery and promotion of the launch of the "Sherlock Detective" project has driven him to make rapid progress.
Of course, Marconi's family also put in "a little" of strength.
Tony Hall is even more powerful. He is already the president of the global media of BBC and is considered to be highly powerful.
As soon as these two came up, they persuaded Chen Linfeng not to finish it.
"chen, as a friend, I have to say that the series "Detective Sherlock" is no longer an internal work, it also represents more."
The UK is a powerful tool for promoting its own culture to the outside world.
A successful example of cooperation with China.
At the same time, it is also the love of the one who is in Downing Street.
"You must not stop!"
"But this show should be over by season 5."
Chen Linfeng put forward another argument, "Now "Sherlock 3" is actually not that profitable."
The actor's pay continues to increase, so there is no need to say more.
The production costs in other aspects are actually increasing.
When filming two days ago, in order to take a pseudo-3D perspective lens, the director directly created hundreds of cameras to shoot.
I have to say that the camera was very good, but it was really expensive.
"The cost increase is all-round, and I guess you will lose money and make a lot of money by Season 5." "And, Martin and I are becoming more and more difficult to adjust, and the speed of the two-year season is probably difficult to maintain." "So," Chen Linfeng said solemnly, "I think it is a good idea to end the five seasons."
When it comes to money and the objective issue of schedule, Marconi and Tony have to consider it carefully.
The publicity of British culture is certainly very important.
But in capitalist society, making money is the top priority, and losing money to film is not a good thing.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Linfeng, the core creator, does not want to continue.
To this day, no one can force Chen to do anything. "Okay, I have to say, chen, you have considered it well." Marconi was very regretful. This is the iconic drama of his rise.
"It's a pity that such an excellent work, I really want to shoot it forever."
"Long episodes are always difficult to maintain reputation. Instead of letting it decay slowly, it's better to end at the brightest moment. I think this is also a kind of romance, what do you think?"
"chen, you're right."
The two reached a consensus.
At the same time, Tony Hall began to consider how to make good use of the final chapter to market and make money.
Although the ending was roughly decided, the third season was filming at this time, so no one of the few people who knew about it said this to the public. New director Paul McQuigan has performed very well.
Especially as a photographer, he is very skilled in the lens.
Different from Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others, this person is very good at shooting cities, and the city light and shadow are so exciting.
Even the lens flare that ordinary directors try hard to avoid can sometimes become a means of his use.
Chen Linfeng was very interested in this and discussed related topics with him during the shooting process.
In March, except for filming on the crew.
Other time, he spent time typing.
The Mysterious Lord 3 promised to be released this year, but I can't go back on my promise.
In fact, since January, he has started writing one after another.
This plot is a wonderful paragraph of the original work. Chen Linfeng has basically not changed much about it, and at most he will make some corrections in the wording of the text.
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
There is also a fighting scene, which is the focus of his changes.
The squid in the previous life was good, but the combat drama was relatively average, and the sense of the picture and writing were not excellent.
And this is exactly what Chen Linfeng is best at.
As a director, he is the end of his life.
In many plots, when he writes, he directly uses the general method of drawing and storytelling.
The public often comments about his novels, such as "After a little imagination, there will be pictures in his mind", or "A picture is a storyboard" and "A picture is a storyboard".
And in a martial arts family, he knows too many moves himself, and he can even be a martial arts finger if he goes further.
So when describing combat scenes, the authenticity and rationality are obviously much better than those of laymen.
In this regard, he is also a unique in the industry.
Which normal writer can be good at directors and martial arts?
Of course, this also comes at a cost, so the writing speed is not that fast.
It is considered a normal level of 4k online writers.
To the volume of "Faceless Man", the number of fighting scenes has increased significantly, and it is naturally not as smooth as the first volume.
In addition to writing novels, the progress of the two domestic screenwriters should also be paid attention to at all times.
The entire historical context of the "World of Warcraft" group has been basically sorted out.
Now the group is looking for people to make a topographic map, linking each event with the map, and then planning the events that the protagonist wants to participate in in the main story.
The experts have been in place on the "Biography of Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty".
Some time ago, someone mentioned the issue of the reform of the Southern Song Dynasty.
According to Emperor Zhaolie's temper, he must be dissatisfied with the ultimate restraint of military generals like the Song Dynasty.
At the junction of the two Song dynasties, it was the best time to get rid of the bad habits of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, reform must be involved in the play.
There are also a consideration for which civil officials will strongly oppose and who will support it.
In addition, how to change it and what problems will be encountered in the middle.
The plot became a little deeper as I thought about it.
Even in light of the current situation, the above are also making reforms.
Do you want to borrow the ancients to speak the current words?
This is also a question that needs to be thought about.
In recent times, this group will send video calls every day when Chen Linfeng gets out of the show every evening, and discuss it all night.
The whole group's schedule was almost upside down.
Chen Linfeng was not good for them to stop either. They wanted to think more deeply, so why should they stop it?
Whoever says online dramas can't bring some depth.
Anyway, Chen Linfeng's idea is very positive. The heroic story is also a plot that makes the audience happy. It must be preserved.
This is the key to the popularity of TV series, and he cannot give up on these.
As for the contents that the screenwriters have diverged, they are either obscure or organically combined in fragments.
Chen Linfeng has already thought about it. When the script is written, he will show it to the boss Liu Hexu.
He is still very greedy. After several years, he will write a TV drama script, which is definitely both demanding and demanding.
At the end of March, Alex came to London to discuss various matters about the release of the "Joker".
"The news is good and bad. I performed well in the movie club before, and many movie buyers expressed their approval."
"It's just the film critics, there are some bad reviews."
"Oh?" Chen Linfeng asked, "What about the overall review?"
"Some polarized, good people think they are particularly good, and the critics who don't like are also criticized more powerfully."
Alex paused and said, "But the audience was invited since then, the evaluation was very high, and the atmosphere on the scene was very warm. Someone shouted 'Long live the clown' after watching it, almost trying to cause trouble."
Chen Linfeng put on a question mark face. What's the situation?
He remembered the problems caused by the release of "The Joker" in the beautiful country in his previous life, and became a little worried.
"Nothing went wrong, right?"
"Many people are worried about this problem," said Alex. "This is why I came here for a special trip."
"Do you still remember what happened when the movie "The Dark Knight Rises" was released?"
Chen Linfeng recalled for a moment, and then said, "Is it the shooting?"
"That's right."
Last summer season, "The Dark Knight Rises" was released.
A shooting occurred while the film was being screened by a theater in Colorado, killing 12 people and injuring more than 70 people.
The gunman was dyed with bright light-colored hair, and at that time, there was public opinion linking the role of the Gunman and the Joker.
There are also reports that the gunman claimed to be a clown when he was arrested.
However, the person who published this report was a tabloid reporter, and I am not sure whether it is true or not.
At that time, "Inception" was still released, so Chen Linfeng also paid attention to this news.
Alex said, "A few days ago, the families of several victims wrote an open letter, which was sent to Warner CEO."
Chen Linfeng was worried, "What is the content in the letter?"
"The main reason is that "The Joker" involves gun violence and other content, which may incite more gunmen to appear."
"The gunman in the shooting is a 'socially isolated individual who believes that society is unfair to him'. The family members think that this image coincides with the protagonist of "The Joker"..."
This...
"It won't be released, right?"
"That's not the case."
Alex explained, "They didn't say what they didn't want to be released, but they just mentioned that they hoped that Warner would not give money to the NRA anymore and called for gun reform."
It seems to be related to the domestic politics of beautiful countries.
Chen Linfeng was speechless. He didn't pay much attention to the news related to "The Joker" in his previous life. I wonder if such a thing happened at the beginning.
But now that I encounter this situation, I am really scared, after all, abroad is not his territory.
"What else can you tell me?"
"The movie was rated as R-rated."
"I'm mentally prepared for this."
There are still many bloody shots inside, which are definitely not enough for PG-13, so there is no need to say more. "There are also some departments that warn their officials, requiring them to pay attention to safe passages when watching movies."
! ! ?
Chen Linfeng was shocked, "Is it so exaggerated?"
"When you watch a movie, you have to worry about your life safety?"
In fact, this is because he doesn't understand, that is, the conflict in 2013 has not been so intense.
When the previous life "The Joker" was released, the beautiful country side issued memorandums to active staff, so that they could pay more attention to their lives when watching the movie.
(Memorandum)
This is now considered a pediatric department and has little impact.
"Alex, you can tell me directly the number of venues expected to be released." Chen Linfeng was a little helpless. If these things happened, the number of venues opened would be greatly affected.
"More than 4,300 theaters are online." Alex smiled, "This is the good news I want to say."
"All the bad news before will arouse the audience's interest to some extent.
The theaters judge that the box office prospects of the movie will be very good, so the number of openings and screenings given are very high."
"Of course, the more important reason is that you directed this movie."
"chen, no one in Hollywood will reject your movie (money)!"
Chen Linfeng has really gained his knowledge this time.
The American people are really determined. There may be dangers, but they are interested.
It's really the son chosen by God. Who will God choose to die?
Then, Alex told Chen Linfeng about the current achievements in film promotion.
Warner is not inferior to Disney in terms of publicity.
The Joker has released two promotional videos, both of which have received a lot of attention.
The number of views of each promotional video on the oil pipe exceeds two million.
Chen Linfeng won the Grand Slam of the Three Golden Slams for this movie, which is already very eye-catching.
After all, after knowing that he was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, many netizens felt that he could not get the Golden Bear this time in film and television forums in Europe and the United States.
It is very difficult for European and American directors to win the Grand Slam, let alone Asian directors.
The last film festival will definitely get stuck in the ordinary.
This is the common tacit understanding between the three families.
Unless the quality of the movie is good to a certain extent, break through this unspoken rule.
"The Joker" made Chen succeed in just the first time he hit the Golden Bear.
The quality of the film must have exceeded some expectations of the organizing committee and judges, so this situation occurred.
This has greatly increased the public's interest in "The Joker", especially movie lovers.
Of course, Leonardo won the Berlin Best Actor again with this, which is also their focus.
In February, everyone was evident in the praise of Leonardo's acting skills.
Over the past period of time, many newspapers have mentioned that "The Joker" will participate in the Oscar next year, and Leonardo is expected to win the first Little Golden Man in his career.
This makes the film promoter a little better than expected.
Of course, the unsafe factors also attract beautiful Chinese people like Yingxiuhua.
This is an unexpected situation.
