Chapter 247: Destined Protagonist, Exaggerated Influence
All media, regardless of the Internet or print media, quickly reported.
Soon, the news of the two returning home made headlines on the portal website.
The print media will be a little slower, but by tomorrow morning, everyone in the country should know the news that Xiao Chen and Liu Qianqian have returned to China.
This description may be a bit exaggerated. The headlines are just to report such a news.
But for the media or the audience who have been paying attention to this matter, it is not an exaggeration at all.
This is the first time in history that a domestic TV series has achieved such great success abroad.
The "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" that year may not be inferior to this time's "Star You" in terms of foreign influence, and it may even be even worse.
But times are different. At first, the news spread slowly, and many Chinese people may not even know about the external achievements of "Huan Zhuge Ge".
This time is completely different. The real-time nature of the Internet caused Anxi and Professor Chen to be surrounded by Neon fans at the airport in the morning.
At noon, relevant news was already being discussed on the domestic Internet.
The next day is the end of the portal website. The next day, the paper media will distribute the news selected online to thousands of households.
Audiences across the country watched the two of them receive crazy welcome in various countries in East and Southeast Asia.
This kind of thing will never happen again in the future, because there are too many entertainment methods and too much news.
Public attention is inevitably diverted by various things.
Going forward, in the era of "Huan Zhuge Ge", the Internet was underdeveloped and there were too few channels for viewers to obtain news.
There is only now, only this time.
What is very paradoxical is that there is not even some big news in the entertainment industry this year, and everyone has nothing to eat.
What if the love triangle story between the princess, Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi last year happened this year.
Maybe the bad movies from the three major directors will be released this year.
The popularity of "Star You" will not be so explosive.
Too many people have paid attention to the results of "Star You" and its momentum abroad and sweeping East Asia.
It seems to be destiny.
This is no longer limited to a TV series, it has risen to something higher, such as the height of national confidence.
Liu Qianqian did not go home, but followed Xiao Chen directly to the Longlin Company's territory first.
Chen Shantong greeted everyone.
In the office, several people sat down.
Everyone naturally talked about "Star You" and what happened at the airport just now.
Chen Shantong said bluntly, "It would be a bit inappropriate for you to hide this time. The media and audiences in Yanjing and even in China want to see you appear.
You can even say a few words casually, but if you hold it back, it will easily cause unpleasantness and hurt people’s hearts. ”
Sister Mei went abroad with her and was not very clear about the situation in the country.
She asked, "So exaggerated? What is the situation in the country?"
"Is it almost universal concern?" Chen Shantong replied uncertainly.
The only thing he is sure of is that ""Star You" is no longer limited to the film and television industry, and is somewhat of a social event or cultural phenomenon."
Chen Shantong tells today Some domestic situations.
After "Star You" was broadcast, the impact it caused was not small.
The cosmetics used by Liu Qianqian in the play have become the first choice of users. As long as the words "same style as Anqian" are added, sales can easily double.
The clothes she wore in the play also became popular.
There are just some clothes that don’t look good on most people. Only then did I realize that these clothes themselves may not necessarily look good, but it’s Liu Qianqian who looks good when she wears them.
Maybe, she would look better wearing a sack.
In the play, Liu Qianqian once crossed her legs and said, "As long as she looks good."
It became a hot word on the Internet.
Because in the play, Professor Chen and An Qian always eat Yuanyang Hotpot together, now Yuanyang Hotpot has become the most popular type in hotpot restaurants across the country.
Even Kawachi looks down on Yuanyang Hotpot the most.
The classic "On a snowy day, you should drink beer and fried chicken (Xiao Chen's modified version)" because in the play Professor Chen uses the method of fried chicken nuggets during the Spring Festival in the north.
Nowadays, Hua Guo Kai (K) Feng (F) Cuisine (C) has launched a new Chinese fried chicken, plus beer drinks, named Chuxue Set Meal.
Although it is summer now, the first snow package has quickly become the most popular type of package.
Generally speaking, the sales of all the purchasable products that have appeared in the play are skyrocketing.
The most exaggerated thing is that a couple of days ago, during the Chinese Valentine's Day on August 19, a couple broke up because the boy didn't cook authentic fried chicken for his girlfriend. This incident even made the news.
Another news is that a pregnant woman almost had a miscarriage while eating fried chicken while watching dramas.
Anxi covered her mouth in surprise, "Isn't this ridiculous?"
"This is the status quo. You don't understand the current love for the two of you at all."
"Especially "You," Chen Shantong said to Liu Qianqian, "Xiao Feng set you up in the play so cleverly. The big star An Qian, the audience directly brought your real-life situation into it,
< br>You both debuted at the age of 15, and your names are so close. Everyone has completely projected their emotions for the characters in the play onto you."
Liu Qianqian looked at Chen Linfeng, and this is all Xiaofeng's fault.
Everyone is also looking at him. The most important promoter of this drama is director Xiao Chen.
That’s true.
Actually, what Chen Shantong just said focused on Liu Qianqian's influence as an example of the popularity of "Star You".
But if you think about it, you will know that Chen Linfeng is definitely not bad.
In fact, there is information that can prove Xiao Chen’s influence, and that is the sales volume of his novels.
Starting from this month, the sales of old books have entered the weekly rankings, and the new books, not to mention, have long returned to the top.
It is similar in foreign countries. Various of his works have become popular in Asian countries with the popularity of "Star You".
Except for Neon, other countries can be considered emerging markets.
Currently, the name Kirin Teacher has become popular in Bangkok and Southeast Asian countries (because in Asian countries, Kodansha is promoting it).
The combined heat between the two of them can be called terrifying.
In summary.
Reporters can appreciate the public's request for various information about Chen and Liu, and naturally they are extremely eager to interview the two. In this case, it is difficult to refuse.
After hearing all this, Chen Linfeng nodded decisively.
"Okay, let's inform the media that we will hold a meeting tomorrow and accept interviews from reporters. It will not affect our participation in the Feitian Award the day after tomorrow."
In the evening of the same day, relevant news about Long Lin It was published.
The major media took notice and quickly made appointments.
Because of the advantage of being nearby, Yanjing TV directly booked the broadcast at that time, so as to maximize the traffic.
The customer service staff of Longlin Company did not go home to rest that night and answered calls almost all night long.
Then it took another half day to arrange the venue and material layout.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, press conference.
When Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian walked into the room, the room buzzed and the noise suddenly started.
All the reporters raised their cameras in unison, and those with flashes could hardly see anyone.
Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian have also mastered the practice, and they cooperated in taking photos without blinking.
The reporters were very excited and almost couldn't help but rush forward. Fortunately, the organizer explained the code of conduct in advance.
In order to prevent being kicked out, everyone reluctantly calmed down.
The host randomly selected a reporter.
"Yanjing News" was the first to ask, "Excuse me, Liu Qianqian, how do you feel about being so popular in East and Southeast Asian countries this time?"
In the past month, Liu Qianqian has accepted I have received similar questions from too many reporters.
She didn't think much about it and said, "I'm very happy. Thank you everyone. I feel honored that so many viewers like me."
"Many viewers want to know, what are the characters in the play? Can you tell me whether Anxi looks like you in real life? ”
This question is often asked.
Liu Qianqian replied directly, "It is partly based on my own character, but I am not that funny and narcissistic in reality, and there are still many things that Xiaofeng added for the story.
Speaking of which, why is Anxi such a narcissist in the play according to what I wrote? "
In the last sentence, she was obviously asking Xiao Chen.
The interaction between the male and female protagonists!
All cameras were focused on Xiao Chen, waiting for his response.
Chen Linfeng spread his hands and said, "Maybe in my impression, all good-looking people are like this?"
"What about yourself?"
"Maybe the same? ”
The reporters went crazy.
"Director Xiao Chen, is this true?"
"Teacher Xiao Chen, I took note of it." Chen Linfeng rolled his eyes, "Of course you are joking."
Reporters are full of regrets, but they still need to be recorded.
"Xiao Chen said he is a narcissist"
"Chen Linfeng revealed that good-looking people are all narcissistic"
After the report comes out, you can publish another report to refute the rumors, which is a win.
The "Yenjing News" reporter who asked the question before had passed the questioning period and sat down honestly without saying anything else.
Chen Linfeng looked at him with some surprise. This family had never had a good relationship with him, and they were always irritated when reporting.
Because Sissi had a good relationship with him, Yanjing Newspaper always brought in private information when reporting.
Why are you so honest this time?
The Yanjing Newspaper also said that I also want to have a good meal. So many times, whenever I say something bad about you, my sales will drop. After a long time, I can’t resist it.
In fact, Chen Linfeng has not paid much attention to it recently. In fact, starting from the second half of last year, when "Yanjing News" reported on him, it was already a lot more "true".
Ignore this topic.
Next was a reporter from Phoenix TV, who chose to ask Chen Linfeng.
"Director Xiao Chen, many foreign media said that from the drama "Star You", they felt that the production level had a dimensionality reduction impact on their home countries. How did you achieve this as a first-time director?"
Chen Linfeng thought for a while and replied, "This is probably caused by the dual factors of software and hardware. First of all, in terms of funding, the cost of 70 million (for external publicity) is indeed a large amount for today's TV series production. .
Moreover, many brands are very generous in providing free products or direct sponsorship, which also helps reduce costs.
Secondly, I spent most of the money on it. In terms of costumes and special effects production, actors' remuneration accounts for less than 20%, which of course can lead to better film quality.
And then, from a software perspective, our crew's configuration is also top-notch. , there are many elite behind-the-scenes personnel.”
Chen Linfeng introduced the big names in his crew.
“They can ensure that all aspects of the shooting are done to the best and can perfectly implement my shooting intentions.
To sum up, they can produce a reasonably good drama. To the audience, it depends on the efforts of the entire crew."
"So, director Xiao Chen, what do you think of the unanimous recognition by the audience and the media that you and Liu Qianqian are the kings and queens of the new era?"
< br>"I was quite happy when I found out about this at first, but then I felt a lot of pressure. After all, I just filmed a TV series and won a few top ratings. It is not worthy of everyone's praise.
After I came back, I read some of the reports my journalist friends wrote about me. I felt that the praise was too harsh and I couldn't bear it. I asked Sissi and she felt the same way.
As the saying goes, 'The higher the praise, the worse the fall'. We also need to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and present more good works to everyone. There is really no need to praise so much. It is just the duty of an actor to play a good role. That’s all. ”
These words made the reporters below all look weird.
It’s true to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, but why does your words sound a little wrong?
br>
“Just a few top ratings hits? ”
"What's the duty of an actor?"
This is too...
They don't know how to describe it intuitively. They don't know how to show off. They are quite humble, but there is something indescribable. Feel.
This kind of behavior will actually be clearer in later generations. It was called Versailles.
But no matter what, this down-to-earth attitude is still worthy of appreciation.
The reporters continued to ask other questions for more than an hour.
In order to satisfy reporters, Chen Linfeng not only told a lot of behind-the-scenes stories about the crew, but also some strange things he encountered during the promotion of Neon and Bangguo.
Including the change of ratings among baseball media, he also made a small complaint.
During the process, the reporter mentioned some foreign stars and expressed their love for "Star You".
Chen Linfeng really didn’t notice much and had a good time.
Near the end, someone in the crowd of reporters shouted.
"Teacher Xiao Chen, do you think you have surpassed Fang Long now?"
Which buddy asked this, it's so awesome.
There was a "wow" sound.
Everyone looked at Chen Linfeng on the stage.
This topic is an old topic for many years, but it has never been out of the public eye. There are related discussion posts on the Internet every year and every month.
The media also takes it out at least once a year and speculates on it.
Everyone is looking forward to a reply from the protagonist of the topic.
Chen Linfeng did not feel dissatisfied and said with a smile, "It's still early to surpass Brother Fanglong. I will continue to work hard."
He could not have any other answer on this occasion.
Whether it is from the perspective of respecting the predecessors or the perspective of facing the public, I can only say this.
After all, Fang Long is an actor who has become famous throughout Asia (referring to the East) since the 1980s. Fang Long has experienced Chen Linfeng's popularity back then.
Like Neon, there are many cartoonists who personally certified Fang Long’s fame in their works.
In the 1990s, it began to become globally famous, and even some foreigners had the impression of Fanglong among Chinese people.
The rumor that everyone in China knows Kung Fu was also started by him and the earlier Bruce Lee.
In terms of breadth and depth of popularity, he is still a bit unmatched.
Just like in China, he and Fang Long are probably well-known nationwide, but many people just think that Fang Long is more popular than him.
This is the power of time.
If you want to break through, you must achieve something more important.
Of course, when Chen Linfeng examined himself, he did not take the writer into consideration.
After all, it is not easy to quantitatively compare different industries.
If you really want to use this as a measuring factor, it will be the day that determines the outcome.
That is to say, in terms of directors and actors, he is almost on par with Fang Long. If he has more other bargaining chips at this time, he will naturally be even better.
Now, let’s be a humble junior.
The reporters were disappointed at first because they didn't hear enough news to make it a big news headline.
But then, there was a rush of relief.
Indeed, Xiao Chen is indeed terrifyingly strong now, but Fang Long is also at the top of Chinese actors after all, and it is not easy to break through.
Such a scene was naturally watched by the broad audience and industry insiders through broadcast.
The public was mainly in the mood to eat melon. Among them, the several interactions between Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian were just in the form of regular dialogues, but many people still felt that they had eaten it.
Professor Chen and An Qian, the superstars, are so in love!
Fellow actors and directors have mixed feelings.
Looking at Xiao Chen and Liu Qianqian as usual, not particularly arrogant, this made many people feel a little relieved.
That’s what you say, and that’s what I listen to. After all, there’s not a big gap between us, right?
However, these two people were too modest.
Brother, you are so outstanding, you can be a little prouder. Otherwise, we are not as good as you, wouldn't we be too useless?
After all, watching others blooming with flowers and cooking oil makes me really uncomfortable. I just want to get into the TV and replace the person involved, and then I can only say those modest words myself.
Since this period of time, when reporters catch an artist in the industry, they will definitely ask them what they think of "Star You", Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian.
Although everyone praises them for their high emotional intelligence, they still feel a little bit sad. Now that I see that they are quite modest in person, I feel better after all.
In any case, it is said to be a meeting, but it is actually a press conference.
The public was slightly satisfied with what they wanted.
Chen Linfeng took another day off, and the next step was to participate in the Feitian Award.
Due to regulations in 2005, the Feitian Award had to be replaced with a biennial award.
The last time it was held in 2005, due to the impact of this news, it maintained an absolute low profile.
There was no announcement, no live broadcast or recording, and reporters were not even allowed to interview. There were very few celebrities present. It should be the worst awards show in history.
This year is a little better and will be recorded and broadcast on Huayang Station at the end of the month.
Chen Linfeng still walked the red carpet with Liu Qianqian, together with the actors from the "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" crew.
Although "Star You" is the most popular drama between them recently, the TV dramas included in the Feitian Award are dramas from March 2005 to February 2007.
So in fact, the awards that Chen Linfeng and the others may receive are the awards for "Datang Empire" last year.
"Star You" will be scheduled for the next show. Although with the style of this show, it is basically impossible to gain anything in an occasion like Feitian.
This kind of award system is really too complicated.
It's been a year, and both the creators themselves and the public have almost forgotten the emotions they felt when it was broadcast last year or even the year before.
Even if the award is given to you, you won’t feel anything. The popularity of news reports is definitely not as good as it was back then.
Whether it is awards in the field of TV dramas or movies, they are all affected by the regulations of 2005, and this will still be the case until later generations.
Chen Linfeng considered these contents and thought that if there was an opportunity in the future, he would have to make suggestions to change the regulations.
But this will have to wait until he becomes a real boss. It is still a bit early now.
However, when Chen Linfeng entered the venue, he really felt like he had become a big boss.
