Chapter 123 A World Without Thieves
As New Year's Day approaches, Chen Linfeng goes to Hengdian to visit Shi Xiaolong's class, and then goes to find Liu Qianqian, and then the two go to CCTV's New Year's Day party together.
When he arrived at the door of the crew, a man named Liu Yun came to pick him up.
This is a person from Chen Shantong's company. He is a producer in the Jingwei Reclamation crew. He is one of the few high-end talents currently under Chen's father.
Dragon and Qilin Company has invested in several dramas in succession, and this person is in charge of the specific production.
Chen Linfeng and Liu Yun have met several times. During the Chinese New Year, he often comes to pay New Year greetings with a large bag of things.
The two of them greeted briefly and then walked into the crew. Xiao Chang and Luo Lin carried the things they bought and distributed them to the crew, while Chen Linfeng went directly to Shu Chang and Shi Xiaolong.
The three of them are now at least quite famous, not to mention successful. They are no longer the transparent people they were when they first met on the set of Journey to the West.
When Chen Linfeng went to the actors' rest area, he found a group of people chatting around Shi Xiaolong, and Shu Chang was also nearby. Everyone chatted and laughed from time to time.
Shi Xiaolong saw his younger brother coming first and quickly stood up and ran over.
"I heard Shu Chang said about the short film you shot. Ask me to make one sometime."
"Then you can wait. The next project I'm preparing is an animated short film."
“The animation is good. Let me see it when it’s ready.” Shi Xiaolong was interested in this.
When I was young, I practiced martial arts every day, and later made movies. I didn’t have time to watch animations, so naturally I didn’t have this hobby.
However, during the years when he was idle at home, Chen Linfeng often found some animation discs to watch, which attracted him to like them.
While the two were talking, Shu Chang also came over.
"Speaking of which, Xiaofeng, Xiaolong, the three of us have hardly been together since the backstory."
Shi Xiaolong tilted his head and thought for a moment, This is really the case.
“We are called the king without seeing the king. If we really meet, it will be an earth-shattering event.” Shi Xiaolong said in the second sentence.
"Would you like me to buy some wine, and the three of us will have a feast for the Three Kings?"
"Oh, that's a good idea."
The three people were joking here, and the actors over there looked here with envy.
Some people sighed softly, "It's so frustrating that we are older, but we are not as good as these three younger ones."
"How can this be compared, really? Come on, our current level is not as high as what those two brothers achieved when they were less than 10 years old."
A few people sighed, as if they suddenly realized the hardships of life.
In fact, these people were just chatting away in boredom, and they really had no idea how big the gap was.
There are many different statuses in the entertainment industry, and they are never distinguished by age.
Shu Chang will not mention it for now, but one of the two brothers has long been promoted and achieved fame. Going to the film and television industry is more like descending to earth to experience life, or because of interest.
The other one is a child star who is currently very popular. His father runs a film and television company. Now that the company is developing in full swing, his own development will definitely not be bad in the future.
This gap is too big to allow them to have other ideas in their minds.
In fact, speaking of it, the actors in the Jingwei Reclamation crew are indeed weak, and there are almost no serious and famous people in the crew.
In the previous life, it was basically supported by the subject matter itself, the script and Shu's singing, a relatively famous child star like this.
The only two people who are somewhat famous, Wu Qilong and Xu Shaoqiang, one only made a cameo in the beginning, and the other is a supporting role with few roles. Both of them are not in the crew now.
The remaining actors are each more pitiful than the last.
With Shi Xiaolong joining the cast of this drama, maybe the ratings will be higher than in the previous life. This is also the rare time that Shi Xiaolong begins to play a leading role. In the past few years, he mostly joined the cast as an important supporting role.
Starting now as the protagonist is also part of the transformation plan.
If an actor has been in a supporting role for a long time, it is really difficult to return to the leading role.
Because the producers will be suspicious and question whether the actors have the ability to resist the drama.
In his previous life, Shi Xiaolong went abroad to study and returned to China to start acting again. Except for Zhou Yi's Peacock Ling, no other film crew gave him the treatment of a leading role.
This life is of course different. He is smiling happily now, not knowing that he has entered another world line.
After the three of them stood and chatted for a while, it was the turn of the male and female protagonists. Shu Chang and Shi Xiaolong went to act.
Only Chen Linfeng was left. At this time, some people from the crew came to get close to him, and some asked him to sign an autograph.
After dealing with these people, Chen Linfeng sat on Shi Xiaolong's chair and watched the filming process of the crew.
Generally speaking, because of the addition of Xiaolong, there are certain changes in this drama.
His positioning as an actor is slightly different from that of Chen Linfeng.
Although the three dramas he has acted in so far all contain some martial arts action, the audience does not regard him as a pure martial arts actor because his status as a writer has left such a deep impression on people. .
But Shi Xiaolong is different. The audience's expectation for him is to watch fighting scenes. If there are no action scenes, they will feel uncomfortable.
Already a pure martial arts actor.
So the main difference between the drama Jingwei Reclamation and the previous version is the fighting part. The crew accordingly added a lot of martial arts moves for Shi Xiaolong.
Moreover, due to the joining of Longlin Company, the martial arts actors and martial arts actors of the entire crew are from Longlin Company, so their professionalism is guaranteed.
The fighting level is obviously not on the same level as the previous version.
Coupled with some special effects from mythological dramas, Chen Linfeng is still looking forward to the response after the drama is broadcast.
When the afternoon shooting ended, Chen Linfeng, Shu Chang, and Shi Xiaolong went out to play together.
I originally wanted to sing in a KTV, but considering people's thoughts, and without Liu Qianqian as the Maiba, there will be no lead singer, and maybe I won't want to sing after a while.
In the end, Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang decided to go to the movies. It happened that "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu" were released recently. The two of them had not gone to see them yet because they were filming on the set.
Of course Chen Linfeng had seen it, but that was in his previous life, and he didn't want to be disappointed, so he went along.
I chose A World Without Thieves for both movies, mainly because Shi Xiaolong has a good impression of Andy Lau.
When he was a child, there was a photo of him being hugged by Andy Lau. He used to have a good relationship with Chen Linfeng.
However, while watching, Shi Xiaolong stared at the actor playing Sha Gen carefully for a long time, feeling a little confused.
"Hey, Xiaofeng, look at the actor who plays Sha Gen, have we seen him?"
Chen Linfeng said speechlessly, "Isn't this Wang Baoqiang? He studied in our Shaolin Martial Arts Academy before. Martial arts.
I remember there was a photo of you and him. You can’t just remember the photo of Andy Lau, but you forget the photo of the fellow disciples.”
Shi Xiaolong tried his best. He scratched his head, and when he mentioned the name Wang Baoqiang, he felt a little familiar, but it was still because he was young at the time, so he can't remember it clearly now.
But knowing that this person also came from the Shaolin Martial Arts Academy, then the origin becomes clear.
He sighed, "I didn't expect that martial arts schools can also produce talents."
