Chapter 110 Scarlett
She is just a do-it-yourselfer in this short film, with almost no lines. She mainly supports her boyfriend Paul Anderson’s work.
"Hello, Chen, I like your novels very much. Writing a movie story is a wonderful idea."
"Thank you." Chen Linfeng said concisely and to the point. Is this the director's girlfriend, or is this a wonderful idea? Don't get too close.
Mira is obviously interested in Chen Linfeng.
What she said just now came from the bottom of her heart. Now many people are optimistic about the film and television prospects of the novel "Infinite World".
Linking with those famous movie worlds will naturally bring a lot of popularity.
Now some people are guessing whether the follow-up of the novel will continue this pattern and be popular with readers for a long time.
If it can continue, then the movie adaptations in the future will be a big pie.
It's a pity that she didn't have a chance to eat it. As the heroine of Resident Evil, it is impossible to play an important female role in the infinite world.
However, for such a writer who is at the peak of his creative period, it is always right to cultivate and cultivate feelings in advance. The original author naturally has a certain say in casting.
After a while, Chen Linfeng saw the heroine of the short film.
Let’s call her the heroine for now. Zhan Lan in the early stage of the novel is basically the heroine.
He found that this girl was still a familiar face.
"Hello Chen, I am Scarlett Johansson."
"Ms. Johnson, weren't you the heroine of "Lost in Translation"?"
Chen Linfeng shook hands with the other party and asked at the same time, "Why did you come to star in a short film?"
" Just call me Scarlett." Scarlett seemed happy that her name was known to the other party.
Although Scarlett, who is just 20 years old, is not tall, she has a slim figure. With the precocious characteristics of European and American people, it can be said that it is the time when she is fresh and juicy.
She said excitedly, "I am a big fan of yours, and I really like the tension it brings me when watching "Infinite World"."
Chen Linfeng has become accustomed to this. Everyone in the entertainment industry will say that they are his fans when they come up. In fact, it would be good to have one tenth of them.
He grinned and said, "Thank you for your like, Scarlett. Did Disney recommend you?"
Seeing that the other party had guessed it, Scarlett also No more hiding it.
“Yes, I have cooperated with Disney. I once played Cinderella in a short film they shot. Maybe they thought I was pretty good, so they sent me an invitation this time.
I As soon as I heard the news from my agent, I immediately agreed. While I was reading the book, I was thinking that it would be great if I could play a role in it, but I didn’t expect it to happen.”
This is a lie.
In fact, she and her agent took the initiative and persuaded Disney.
She and her agent have paid attention to the best-selling books in recent years and are very optimistic about "Infinite World".
With such a wonderful story, and a work that can naturally attract fans of the original Mission World movie after being adapted into a film and television, the box office will not be low if you think about it. It is perfect for the big screen.
After hearing that Disney was also involved in this short film, I was even more convinced of this.
Didn’t you see that this predator is already declaring its sovereignty?
The short film is a preview of the movie. As long as you can star in it, you will naturally have an advantage when competing for roles later.
This is why she, a movie star, came back and took the initiative to star in a short film.
Opportunities in the entertainment industry are earned by fighting for them.
Scarlett understands this.
Chen Linfeng chatted with this beauty.
After a while, the actor who played Zhang Jie in the original work came over to say hello.
This person is no longer an acquaintance from his previous life. In fact, Jeff Chase is also a serious actor and has already appeared in several TV series. He also took the initiative for possible subsequent adaptations.
Chen Linfeng did not expect these people to think so far.
In fact, as far as this novel is concerned, it is impossible for him to write the third one soon. Even if it is a film and television version of the first two books, he will not agree to start it in the next few years.
It’s not like Chen Linfeng hasn’t thought about the possibility of adapting the film into a movie. Of course he himself wants to play the protagonist of this work.
However, the problem is that his strength is not enough now.
As an actor, his influence is not enough in China, let alone Hollywood.
Secondly, age is not an option either. You have to be at least 20 years old to have a chance.
In addition, if you want to play the protagonist, the identity of the original author and the copyright are not so secure.
We also need the strength of the Chinese film market to make them aware of the strength of the Chinese audience.
That would have to be around 10 years ago, and no matter how early it would be, it would be after 2008.
By then, if he can reach the point where the public recognizes him in China, that is, he can carry dramas and even box office, the hope is not small.
Only in this way can it be possible for Hollywood production companies to agree to take the risk of using Chinese actors as protagonists.
Except for these two more important characters, other characters have various skin colors.
Among them, Yuanyuan, the villain aunt, is the most restored. She is a Chinese actor specially chosen by Sister Chen Linfeng to ask Mei.
Don’t forget tradition.
It was easy for Anderson to make such a short film.
He avoided the parts of the film that required special effects as much as possible, and in some parts he directly used the original film materials.
Originally, Anderson did not design any action scenes, but considering that Chen Linfeng is currently a well-known kung fu boy, he still let him show off his skills when facing zombies, and filmed the action scene after unlocking the gene lock for the first time. .
Not to mention, Chen Linfeng's performance in such modern action scenes is still very beautiful.
Hollywood's action directors are now beginning to imitate the style of Hong Kong movies. The designed actions are no longer the straight-forward fist fights, but dodges and back-and-forth.
Chen Linfeng himself has martial arts skills, long arms and legs, and very smooth fighting movements, which is pleasing to the eye.
Simmons, who came to the set to watch the situation, was also shocked and felt like he saw something strange.
It took a total of 5 days of filming on the biochemical studio.
In the past few days, Chen Linfeng's acting skills have also left a deep impression on others.
It is hard to imagine that a person of such an age can act neatly in action and not fall behind in acting with Jeff and Scarlett.
You must know that Scarlett won the Best Actress from the British Academy of Television Arts in "Lost in Translation" which was released not long ago.
At this time, Chen Linfeng had long realized that this Jeff was no longer a small character.
He asked Sister Mei to check through Peter and found out that this person had appeared in supporting roles in many movies and TV series, and his performance was very good.
Chen Linfeng also almost realized that his novel had been noticed by some people in the Hollywood industry.
Then the production companies above them must have already had ideas.
Maybe it was just because Disney was watching over their heads that they didn’t come to the door.
He became more determined in his inner thoughts. He must stabilize his mentality and not agree to the film and television adaptation too early.
The higher the sales of subsequent novels, the better the terms can be negotiated.
If you want to play a role or an important role in a movie adaptation, you must wait until you are an adult and have certain abilities.
Otherwise, it would be meaningless to only take so little money.
