Chapter 85 Seat Level (34)
Chen Linfeng arrived at the hotel booked by the crew just in time for dinner.
Yu Shengming brought several powerful figures from the crew together for a dinner. One of them, a middle-aged man, took the main seat and Yu Shengming accompanied him.
Chen Linfeng was next to Yu Shengming, on the other side of the main seat. He didn't recognize a few people. They were probably behind the scenes. Judging from the seats, they should be quite important.
There are also a few main actors in the crew. He knows Jiao Enjun and Liu Xiaoqing but has never met them. Shu Chang is also there, and he happens to sit next to him in order.
The dishes were quickly served, and Yu Shengming introduced Chen Linfeng to the people present.
"Come on, Xiaofeng, let me introduce you. This is Li Gongda, Producer Li."
"Producer Li, hello, I am Chen Linfeng." Chen Linfeng stood and raised his hand Drink the wine glass in one gulp.
His body had never drunk alcohol in his life, and he was extremely uncomfortable and coughed violently.
Yu Shengming hurriedly patted Chen Linfeng on the back to cheer him up.
Li Gongda couldn't sit still, "I asked you to call me Xiao Chen. You are young and don't have a good drinking capacity, so you should change your drink."
He is here to get to know young people with potential, not to offend others. .
This person is already a famous writer, with a pen, not to mention he is so young, it is normal for him not to drink and socialize.
He signaled Shu Chang to go out and call the waiter, who brought a large bottle of drink.
After the episode.
Yu Shengming continued to introduce Chen Linfeng. Sitting across from him was action director Zhao Jian.
The action director of Tian Long Ba Bu was also a classic actor when I read the novel in my previous life.
Chen Linfeng used the drink as wine and made a toast.
Next is Liu Xiaoqing. She was a well-deserved big star in the early years. A few years ago, she joined the show for a year because of tax issues. Now, although she is no longer famous, her status in the industry is still not low.
She lowered the cup, touched it, and said, "I know your name very well, and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"It's a pleasure to work together."
The other has been a screenwriter for nine years.
When Chen Linfeng toasted this time, Jiannian stood up directly.
"Writer Xiao Chen, I like reading your novels very much. Some of the plot designs in them are very exquisite and I have benefited a lot."
Chen Linfeng said modestly, "They are all written randomly. There is no writer on the crew, just call me Xiao Chen.”
Then he said to the others, "Everyone is the same, just call me Xiao Chen."
When it was his turn to introduce Jiao Enjun, as if he had made an appointment, he also stood up, and he didn't shout "Writer Xiao Chen" is called "Teacher Chen" again.
I can’t afford this title, and I don’t know how to take pictures!
Chen Linfeng said helplessly, "Brother Jiao, you really don't count as a teacher. Let's not come here to be a student. I'm not polite, so don't be so polite."
Jiao Enjun, a big man from Shandong, Without any hesitation, he called out "Xiao Chen", picked up the wine and drank it all.
At the end, Shu Chang smiled and said to Yu Shengming, "Xiao Feng and I are classmates, no introduction is needed."
The tedious greeting session ended and everyone began to eat.
A group of people from the industry eat together, and the topic is naturally inseparable from the content of the film and television industry.
Somehow, I mentioned "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" which had extremely high ratings last year.
“This drama is really strange. Whether it’s in terms of obedience, script, or director, it’s all at a good level at best. Who would have thought that the ratings would be so high.”
Jiannian confirmed with some hesitation,
"Producer Li, the ratings of this film are probably the first among costume dramas."
Li Gongda nodded, Then he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.
He said puzzledly, "Yeah, I don't understand either. Could it be that just having famous actors in a drama can increase the ratings? Then what's the point of us working so hard to make a drama."
“That is to say, I heard that some companies have gone down this path recently.”
Jiu Nian poured a glass of wine for Mr. Li. The two men were chatting animatedly.
Yu Shengming sipped the wine slowly. He had produced a "Journey to the West" movie with a ratings of more than 30 years ago, and he was already very satisfied and didn't really care. Problems in "The Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties".
Chen Linfeng is not surprised at all by this phenomenon. The creation of a drama not only relies on behind-the-scenes production such as directors and screenwriters, but actors are also a part of the creation.
The quality of their performance also determines the life and death of the work.
"Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is the best in terms of actors. The casting is so suitable. Several stars who can carry the drama are put together in one drama. It is not surprising that the ratings are high.
Similarly, there are those who can carry dramas and those who cannot. Some celebrities are obviously very well-known, but when he/she becomes the protagonist and resists a drama alone, his/her true colors will be exposed. Color comes.
Name XX, XXX here.
This incident reminded Chen Linfeng of himself.
He only played the leading role when he was very young. In fact, he was the one to carry the drama, but he was not the one to carry it. Later, Teacher Zhang was the one to carry the drama.
This time, it was his first time to play the leading role in a major drama, and he couldn't help but worry a little whether he could carry the banner.
Shu Chang saw something wrong with Chen Linfeng's expression, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Linfeng shook his head, he was completely overthinking, in the name of Lotus Lantern He is the protagonist, but in fact it is completely a one-man show of Mr. Yang, and he is the one who carries the show.
"It's just..." Chen Linfeng grabbed his knees, but instead of feeling relieved, he felt dissatisfied.
Perhaps what he really wants is to be the real protagonist.
In the past few years since he became famous, he no longer wants to fall behind others.
The next morning, Chen Linfeng did his morning exercises as usual and found that Shu Chang had also gotten up early.
“Why are you so early?”
“I can’t let you be the only one who is beautiful. Sissi and I have made an agreement to work hard to improve ourselves.”
Since last semester, Shu Chang and Liu Qianqian have called each other every morning to do morning exercises and classes.
They have a relatively good relationship with Chen Linfeng and receive the greatest stimulation. They are all young actors who have become famous early in the industry and do not want to be left behind in the future.
Chen Linfeng felt very pleased. It would be best if his friends could forge ahead.
The two finished their morning exercise and had breakfast together.
The morning is the launch conference.
The actors put on their costumes and took pictures first, and then the invited leaders gave speeches.
Then Yu Shengming, as the director, introduced the actors present and the roles they were going to play.
The role of the Three Holy Mothers is played by Park Si-yeon, a Korean actress. She does not understand Chinese, and there is a translator for her on the scene.
When she was introduced, she had to be reminded by the translator before she nodded.
Chang'e was played by Yan Danxun. When she appeared in white clothes, she attracted a burst of exclamations.
Such a gentle, touching, fresh and pure Chang'e is so in line with everyone's imagination.
When introducing the actor who played Nezha, Chen Linfeng discovered that this character had changed from what he had in mind.
It turned out to be Cao Jun playing Nezha.
The Lotus Boy Nezha filmed by director Yu in his previous life had Cao Jun as the protagonist. It seems that he will inevitably have to play Nezha once.
Chen Linfeng has paid attention to Cao Jun's life experience. He thought that if he failed to play the role of Happy when he was 8 years old, he would be forgotten by everyone.
However, Cao Jun was able to compete with Shi Xiaolong for the position of the strongest child star in his previous life, and Cao Jun was indeed well-deserved.
Cao Jun started his career by playing the young Yue Fei in "One Foot Determines the Country", and then starred in "Nine-Year-Old County Prince" and "Prime Minister Xiao Ganluo", and gradually started to make his career.
