Chapter 167 Audrey Hepburn in China
This move actually involves the future development direction of the company.
After all, Chen Shantong did not study film and television drama production and did not know much about the relevant professional knowledge.
In the past, the company's development was relatively shallow, so it mainly indirectly participated in dramas produced by other companies in the form of investment.
Now that the company is strong enough, the number of subsequent dramas it will cast will gradually increase.
So how to control the crew so that the plot does not deviate or the crew loses control requires certain measures.
In the end, the result of the discussion between Chen Shantong and Chen Linfeng was the drama center system.
The play-centered system is not the script-centered system or the screenwriter-centered system.
As the most important creative director, of course he has the right to discuss the plot or modify the script, but once the script is finalized, it cannot be changed casually later.
The main thing is to strengthen the importance of the script.
Considering that after the invasion of later generations of capital, the script was casually changed for various reasons.
Now that we have established a system in advance, who will film Dragon and Qilin Company dramas in the future will be a handling model, and it is also a good reason to prevaricate others.
The producers sent by Dragon and Qilin Company will also keep an eye on the crew to prevent the script from being changed due to off-site factors.
Qian Yanfei, who currently cooperates more with Longlin Company, is a screenwriter and is very supportive of such reforms.
Under this premise.
Although it has now been decided to start "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", it has also adopted Chen Linfeng's recommendation to choose the director and action director.
But Chen Shantong somewhat distrusts these two. After all, they have not yet made a name for themselves in the industry.
After much thought, he thought it would be better to let his son join the team, at least he could help keep an eye on the shooting results.
Xiao Feng performed very well in the previous drama Baolian Lantern, and will be followed by two dramas, "The Tang Dynasty" and "The Unruly Princess".
By the time "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is aired, his son's reputation as an actor may have changed.
At that time, it will also be more conducive to the ratings performance of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
After hearing these reasons from his father, Chen Linfeng felt that they made some sense.
It’s just that this time is indeed a bit tense.
He thought for a while and said, "If I join the crew for filming, I will need you to communicate with the crews of "The Great Tang Empire" and "The Unruly Princess" and reduce the promotional time accordingly."
< br>In fact, there is another Oscar that may appear, but it has not yet been confirmed whether it will be shortlisted, so I did not mention it.
Chen Shantong was overjoyed, "Okay, I will help you coordinate the time then."
After the two had dinner, Chen Shantong sent his son back to school.
I happened to meet Liu Qianqian near the teaching building.
She ran over and grabbed Chen Linfeng's arm as soon as she came up. "Xiaofeng, I have something to do with you."
"What's the matter?"
"Come here and talk."
As he said that, he dragged Chen Linfeng to another place to talk.
Since Chen Shantong was following behind, Liu Qianqian didn't recognize him and didn't care about the person next to Chen Linfeng at all.
Chen Shantong asked, "Who is this?"
Of course he recognized who it was, so he just wanted his son to introduce him.
Chen Linfeng introduced the two of them, "This is Qianqian, my classmate and friend."
"This is my dad."
"Ah!" Liu Qianqian's face turned red.
This...this is...
She bowed quickly and said, "Hello, Uncle Chen, my name is Liu Qianqian. I'm really sorry that I didn't notice you."
Chen Shantong smiled and nodded, "It's okay. I heard Xiaofeng talk about you. You two have something to talk about. I just want to go back first."
After that, he waved his hand and said goodbye to Chen Linfeng.
Liu Qianqian put the back of her hand on her face and felt it was very hot.
In the winter of November, my forehead was actually sweating.
Seeing her embarrassment, Chen Linfeng couldn't tease her, lest she explode.
"What do you want from me?"
Liu Qianqian glanced at him complainingly, "Your father is here, why didn't you tell me in advance? It made me look embarrassed."
No, Why should I tell you that my dad is here?
Chen Linfeng resisted the urge to complain.
Liu Qianqian breathed out a burst of white air and calmed down a little.
"My mother asked me to invite you to my house to play." Liu Qianqian said expressionlessly.
At Liu Qianqian’s house, Chen Linfeng and Shu Chang came to visit together.
Liu Xiaoli made a large table of dishes to entertain them.
Now, several people have finished eating and are sitting around on the sofa chatting.
Liu Xiaoli took a plate of fruit and put it on the coffee table and let them eat the fruit.
Several people are sharing their next plans. Chen Linfeng picked up an apple and gnawed it, listening to the two of them chatting.
Shu Chang's ambitions are not that big. She currently just wants to establish a foothold in the field of TV dramas and achieve a successful transformation.
This year's "Bright Sword" she participated in was an unexpected success. Although teacher Li Youbin is the absolute protagonist, Shu Chang also benefited a lot.
Therefore, I can’t trust Chen Linfeng’s vision in film and television dramas any more.
Now she is still listening to suggestions and preparing to compete for Zhao Baogang's "Struggle" currently in preparation next year.
There is no requirement for a female lead, any two or three girls are acceptable.
In addition, there is Hairun’s own homemade drama.
Liu Qianqian said that she is screening some movie scripts and will try to audition for movie actors next year.
She expressed her vision and wanted to move to the big screen in the future, and she also wanted to become an internationally renowned film actor.
As she spoke, Liu Qianqian glanced at Chen Linfeng quietly.
Shu Chang asked in surprise, "Are you not going to accept TV dramas in the future?"
Liu Qianqian replied, "Maybe you will accept them less or not at all."
She vowed to do so. She swore, "The goal is to become China's Audrey Hepburn!"
Liu Qianqian, who has never experienced cyber violence, is really youthful and confident, with clear stupidity in her eyes.
It turned out that in the golden age of TV dramas, it turned to the big screen. You must know that these two years were the time when the big guys in the film industry fell into trouble.
Except for these directors, the Chinese film market is almost impossible to watch.
The only good one is Stone, which is a men's drama and humorous comedy, and Liu Qianqian can't be included at all.
If you rush in at this time, what kind of movie can you act in?
In fact, judging from the experiences of female stars in previous lives, Chinese movies are not very friendly to actresses. If you choose the wrong movie, it is easy to be depressed for a long time.
Like the Four Danshuangbing, none of them are very outstanding in the film field.
On the contrary, let latecomers like Sayuri take the lead.
Chen Linfeng put down the half-eaten apple, "Classmate Liu Qianqian, would you like me to help you analyze whether you can become China's Audrey Hepburn?"
Shu Chang applauded Come, come, come, "Xiao Feng's 'analysis' is coming."
Liu Qianqian had heard the story of Shu Chang and Shi Xiaolong being persuaded by Chen Linfeng, and guessed that this was what he had chosen for her. Lu has different opinions, and I am curious about what he will say.
"Then please ask Teacher Chen for some advice."
Chen Linfeng asked her to help find a piece of white paper and a pen, and prepare to deduce it.
“Let’s first clarify a concept, why your goals and idols can be called artists.
Audrey Hepburn was first and foremost an actor. In her heyday, she starred in some The classic role was recognized by many people at that time and later generations, so she became a world-famous artist."
Chen Linfeng looked at Liu Qianqian, "Do you agree with this?"
"Well, you're right."
"Okay, let's continue to push back. If you want to be a contemporary Audrey Hepburn, let's not talk about foreign countries for now, because we must first reach the top in China. Only then will it be possible to break out internationally.
Looking at the domestic market, if it can be recognized by most of the audience today and is expected to receive good reviews in future generations, then the first stage goal will be achieved. ”< br>
Chen Linfeng wrote the four words "public recognition" on the paper, which were divided into two branches, one is contemporary and the other is future generations.
Seeing how formal he was, Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang couldn't help but become serious, and leaned over to watch him sketch on the paper.
"Let's talk about contemporary times first, Sissi, do you know what the current domestic movie box office is for the whole year?"
Liu Sissi shook her head.
“This year it will probably exceed 2 billion yuan.” Chen Linfeng wrote this number on paper.
“The domestic film with the highest box office, “Hero” is 250 million. This is a special situation and a groundbreaking achievement.
Generally speaking, the first film will probably account for 25% of the total box office for the whole year. About 1/10.
What does this mean? The ticket price of a movie is about 20 to 40 yuan, and the average is 30 yuan. In other words, the movie with the highest box office in a year has about 6.6 million moviegoers.
Even if he participated in the movie of National Master, it would only be watched by about 8 million people, which is less than 1% of the total population of the country. "
Shu Chang said in surprise, "8 million people is a lot. "
Chen Linfeng poured cold water on him, "Can you act in a movie about a national teacher as soon as you enter the big screen? This year's "The Promise" directed by Chen Kaige also mostly uses Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. With so many big-name blessings and a super high film schedule, it is expected to exceed 100 million. "
Looking further back, Fang Long's "The Myth" has a revenue of 90 million, and "Seven Swords" has a revenue of 83 million. Only these three movies have a scale of 100 million. They are either made by big directors or supported by big-name movie stars.
Starting from the 8th place, it has not exceeded 30 million. Even if Sissi is lucky and really joins a good crew, with a box office of about 50 million, and the number of moviegoers is about 1.5 million, even if such a movie is played for 10 It only allows 1% of the Chinese people to know themselves.
In fact, Chen Linfeng clearly missed the power of piracy and Internet communication here.
But it’s a lie, it’s like this. Anyway, none of the people here are people who watch pirated movies, and now is not the era of universal Internet access in later generations. It’s hard to say how many people watch movies online.
Liu Qianqian looked at the string of numbers written on the paper and frowned, "How could this be? I think Fang Long and Jet Li are very famous."
"That's because of the past. Many of the TV stations have played their movies.”
Chen Linfeng knocked on the table, "To compare the popularity of modern movie stars and TV stars, there is a very intuitive example. They are also top female stars. Do you think more people know Zhao Yanzi or Zhang Ziyi?"
< br>Liu Qianqian raised her hand, "Zhang Ziyi, her "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is very famous."
