Chapter 251: Relaxing welfare?
Chen Linfeng stood still and chatted.
After a while, Zhou Jielun ended his mutual compliments with several Hong Kong and Taiwan actors and came to Chen Linfeng.
The two fist bumped.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, you are so popular recently, you have overshadowed my popularity." He couldn't help but feel a little sour when he said this.
The previous Internet popularity data of the two people were basically neck and neck.
However, since "Star You", Xiao Chen's popularity has suddenly skyrocketed, and he can't keep up.
Chen Linfeng couldn't help but said proudly, "Then it's time for me to dominate the world."
Zhou Jielun said dissatisfied, "Don't be too happy too early. After two "Moon, after I release my new song, I will definitely regain my lost ground."
Chen Linfeng was surprised, thinking about Zhou Jielun's new album in his previous life this year.
To be so confident must be the other party's pinnacle work "Blue and White Porcelain".
He blinked, "I'm waiting for you, Jay Chou, to challenge me."
Zhou Jielun looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief.
You are so arrogant!
At the same time, I regretted that when I had the upper hand, I didn’t say such cool and pretentious words.
"Haha, you have seen how a winner can pretend to be a winner."
"I have learned a lot."
After the joke.
Zhou Jielun sighed from the bottom of his heart, "I never thought that if I played a random role, I would be able to follow him around Venice. Mr. Chen, you are very awesome."
Chen Linfeng picked it out. Eyebrow, "That's right, I don't have the ability to help you win awards. It's very simple to take you around the film festival."
Zhou Jielun covered his face and asked, "Are my acting skills that bad?"
"I can't say it's bad, I can only say that it's limited to good. It should be about 0.5 Sissi's level."
One sentence He offended two people at the same time, and both Zhou Jielun and Liu Qianqian looked at him dissatisfied.
“Is my level that bad?”
“Is my level that bad?”
Fortunately, the two of them didn't say anything, otherwise they would have to compete first.
......
Midway, Chen Linfeng went to the bathroom.
On the way back, I passed by someone, but unexpectedly the other person seemed to be unsteady and turned towards him.
Chen Linfeng reflexively supported the other party, "Are you okay?"
While talking, he realized that this was not Tang Wei.
Chen Linfeng quickly and forcefully straightened the opponent upright, and then pulled his hand away.
Whether this person is really falling or pretending to fall, in short, it is bad luck.
Tang Wei smiled awkwardly and thanked, "Thank you, Director Xiao Chen, I am..."
"No, I know who you are. To be honest, I don't know much about it. I like the character you played, but I’m a little tired of the house. Sorry, goodbye.”
Chen Linfeng said these words and left.
Tang Wei's smile could no longer be maintained.
The eyes of many people present were either staring at the big guys talking and laughing, or looking at Director Xiao Chen.
Naturally I discovered the interlude between Tang Wei and Chen Linfeng.
A few actresses immediately sneered in their hearts.
With this little trick, I still want to stick to Xiao Chen, but I don’t know where the confidence comes from.
I really think that other female celebrities are just living off the food.
Several people were delighted to hear about Tang Wei's experience. They heard that she even took on erotic scenes in order to make a film directed by Li An.
Now I don’t like Director Xiao Chen, I deserve it.
Shu Qi, who was originally dating Tang Wei, pretended to be concerned and asked, "Are you okay? Why did you fall all of a sudden? Director Xiao Chen really doesn't know how to care about women."
Tang Wei gritted his teeth secretly, squeezed out a smile and said, "I just couldn't stand firm for a moment."
Shu Qi curled his lips slightly, you are all old vixens, what are you pretending to be here with me.
She looked down upon Tang Wei very much, and now she was stepping on him to the ground in her heart.
Don’t think that Shu Qi had a similar experience in his early years, and that will lead to sympathy.
Not to mention that one is from the Bay Island and the other is from mainland China. If Tang Wei becomes famous by taking off clothes, there is a high probability that the media will include her in the report.
This was originally a very disgusting thing for Shu Qi, who was gradually coming ashore.
Of course Tang Wei was aware of Shu Qi's malice towards her, and she also felt completely disgusted with Shu Qi in her heart. The two of them really hated each other.
She pretended to be casual and glanced in Xiao Chen's direction.
I found that he had walked back to his original position and was talking and laughing with Liu Qianqian, and the two of them were joking with each other from time to time.
Tang Wei's expression was full of envy.
And jealousy!
Envy for being able to chat and laugh with Xiao Chen, and jealousy for Liu Qianqian herself.
She tried her best to get what the other party had at the beginning.
For this reason, she even abandoned her boyfriend.
I hope Director Li An can give me this opportunity.
No, he can definitely do it, that's the Oscar for Best Director.
Thinking of this, paranoia flashed in Tang Wei's eyes, but I gave up everything.
Chen Linfeng's side.
Liu Qianqian was still unhappy about the scene just now.
Why do people keep trying to get close to Xiaofeng? It makes me sick every day.
Since "Star You", she has seen at least five times where female celebrities fell near Xiaofeng.
Others include those who pretend to be traveling together, those who accidentally lose the belt of their clothes, and those who stick it on Xiaofeng’s arm at every turn.
The last one made her angry the most. It was amazing to have a pair of fierce ones.
Xiao Feng doesn’t like that!
Should...?
Liu Qianqian looked at the other party uncertainly.
Chen Linfeng looked back in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Liu Qianqian said angrily, "It's okay."
......
Second Today, Chen Linfeng got up early. He was going to start preparations for the Venice Film Festival.
In fact, preparations had already begun before he arrived.
Although the three major film festivals are awards known for their artistic quality, commercial elements, public relations and promotion are also everywhere.
At least, you have to let people know and see your work before you can compete with other strong competitors. In this aspect, Chen Linfeng undoubtedly has some inherent advantages compared to some novices.
The best screenwriter in Hollywood, who once won the Venice Silver Lion Award, once again hit Venice at the age of less than 20 years old, and this time with a feature film Come on, it's obviously the Golden Lion Award.
This is a gimmick in terms of publicity alone.
Not only that, Chen Linfeng specifically asked Pitt for help in finding a corresponding public relations company to be responsible for a series of publicity and distribution work for the film.
Pitt himself also went to Venice, not only for Chen Linfeng's "Breaking Drummer", but also to screen and promote his own films during the film festival.
Last year, Peter asked Chen Linfeng to provide the script, and now he has filmed it.
The film is planned to be released during the Christmas period, and is now being promoted at major film festivals. Marketing word of mouth is one aspect, letting distributors in various countries see the film's high reputation, and selling copyrights is another aspect.
It is worth mentioning that "Night at the Museum" produced by Fox has been released in August during the summer.
Because Chen Linfeng was busy at the time, he did not attend the premiere. Now the North American box office has reached 250 million, and the global box office is expected to exceed 500 million.
Fox has confirmed that it will make it into a series of movies, and it is expected that subsequent funding will be very active.
Let’s go back to Chen Linfeng’s own movies.
"Blast Drummer" uses the colors and shapes matching the film to decorate the entire building of a luxury hotel, which is very eye-catching.
Then there will be a large-scale premiere, scheduled for September 1st.
Various introductory materials for the film have also been produced in great detail, and tens of thousands of promotional materials have been printed and distributed to visitors to the film festival during the screening.
It’s not the last time, but Chen Linfeng and others are still involved in the shabby mode of distribution.
Of course, correspondingly, the cost of publicity and distribution has skyrocketed, exceeding the production cost of the film itself.
As the publisher, Han Shanping has no objection to this.
He also wanted to see if it would be effective to run movies in film festivals this way.
He supports all measures that can strengthen the power of Chinese film.
Chen Linfeng tried so hard, but it was a bit difficult to get off the ground.
Due to the popularity of "Star You", all his subsequent plans have been put under a magnifying glass. The news that he was nominated for the Venice Film Festival has naturally entered the public eye.
Some netizens on the Internet opened the champagne early. By the time he returned to China and wanted to control the public opinion of his fans, it was already too late.
If Venice fails to harvest anything this time, just think about it and you will know what the domestic public opinion will be like.
Even based on his good reputation for many years, there are not many sarcastic voices.
But disappointing fans and the public is inherently hurtful.
Chen Linfeng spent a whole day familiarizing himself with and confirming the follow-up promotion plan.
In the meantime, which judges should he communicate with, which ones he can win over, and which ones are more difficult to deal with.
For example, one of the judges this time, Mexican director Alejandro, seems to want to recommend the leading actors and actresses in his film "Babel" last year, Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
Other judges, such as Catherine Breillat, are themselves French writers, directors, and screenwriters.
Perhaps because of their similar status, she once expressed her appreciation for Chen Linfeng, and she is obviously a target that can be won over.
After Chen Linfeng wrote down everything he needed to remember, he returned to the hotel.
At this time, Zhang Yimou arrived in Venice. A group of people were surrounding him, and many reporters were also around.
He is the chairman of the jury this year, which is indeed very eye-catching.
Zhang Yimou saw Chen Linfeng's figure and took the initiative to reach out and greet him.
"Xiao Chen, I heard that your work has also been shortlisted?"
"Yes, the premiere will be on September 1st. Director Zhang is welcome to give some advice then."< br>
Zhang Yimou nodded seriously, "I will go."
An exchange between two celebrity bosses.
The surrounding reporters quickly clicked the shutter, not only domestic reporters, but also foreign reporters.
This summer, a TV series that became popular throughout East and Southeast Asia was created by this person.
This matter has actually been reported in various countries.
Coupled with Xiao Chen's status as a writer and his age, the matter became somewhat legendary.
Therefore, many foreign reporters also value Chen's news value.
A reporter immediately asked, "Chen, what are your expectations for this year's Venice, and are you confident of winning the award?"
"Director Xiao Chen, An Qian is the same as you. Are you up? Can you make an appointment for an interview with the two of us?”
Chen Linfeng waved his hand and asked everyone to attend his premiere on September 1st, and we would talk later.
Then walk into the hotel.
Some of the people surrounding Zhang Yimou split up. Director Xiao Chen is also a hot potato.
Li Xiaolu quickened his pace and greeted with a smile, "Director Chen, I am Li Xiaolu, may I meet you?"
Chen Linfeng walked slower, "It's you, I heard. I told you, you are..."
"I starred in the movie "Paradise Mouth" directed by Chen Yili, which was the closing film of Venice."
"Oh, that's right. , Congratulations." Chen Linfeng said concisely.
In his previous life, this person was quite famous, albeit in a bad way.
But in this life, he will not look down on others because of this.
Her role in "Struggle" has already been taken by Shu Chang, and it is not certain whether she will still be famous in the future.
Liu Ye was also next to him. He waited for Li Xiaolu to finish speaking and then said, "Director Chen, I am Liu Ye. I wonder if there will be a chance to cooperate with you in the future?"
"Of course, I am very optimistic about Mr. Liu's acting skills. If there is a suitable opportunity, of course we can cooperate."
Liu Ye looked happy, "Thank you, Director Chen."
Chen Linfeng saw Liu Qianqian not far away. He pointed over there and said to the remaining people who had not spoken,
"My friend is waiting, so let's not talk anymore. September 1st is the premiere of my movie. I hope everyone can support it. We will talk then."
"Easy to say, Director Xiao Chen I definitely want to watch the works.”
“Yes, Director Xiao Chen, you are busy.”
"Yes, yes, you are busy first."
Everyone saw the boss off respectfully and respectfully.
Chen Linfeng said no more and walked forward quickly.
The main entrance of the hotel is further in, and Liu Qianqian is waiting for Chen Linfeng.
She had just called and knew that Xiaofeng would be back after finishing her work.
"Are you done with the movie?" Liu Qianqian took the initiative to hold Chen Linfeng's arm.
"Yes."
"I tried on a dress today. Can I wear it for you later?"
"Really?" Chen Linfeng said in surprise.
What day is it today? Does Sissi know how to give out welfare?
