Chapter 284 Me + Four Great Classics = Beat up Xiao Chen
At the press conference, I scanned down and there were almost hundreds of people, including fifty or sixty media outlets, large and small.
It’s just in time for the press conference of major events.
However, this is just a launch conference.
Many media members came spontaneously without receiving travel expenses at all, which is almost unimaginable among other crews.
Chen Linfeng led the entire crew to answer reporters' questions.
Because there are so many celebrities that everyone is familiar with, it greatly relieves his pressure.
Reporters are excited about the appearance of so many stars. The last time they felt like this was during "The Great Tang Empire".
A reporter from the entertainment section of Xinhuanet asked, "Is this drama a big production like "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" and "Star You"? I think everyone is looking forward to seeing you again, Xiao Chen."< br>
“It can’t be considered a big production, at least it doesn’t have any big scenes. This drama is completely based on plot, so the script should be more solid.”
The reporter was surprised, "Don't the two dramas just mentioned win with their plots? "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" won the Best Screenplay Award."
Chen Linfeng was dumbfounded, and he thought for a while Said, ""The Empire of the Tang Dynasty" has war scenes, and the scenes themselves are huge, and everyone pays more attention to the degree of restoration of ancient historical dramas.
In addition, Li Shimin's experience is legendary enough, so everyone naturally enjoys watching it. It’s related to the screenwriter’s level, but not that big.”
“So, Writer Xiao Chen, are you particularly satisfied with this script?”
The reporter didn’t wait for the other party to answer. , directly asked Zhang Guoli on the side,
"Teacher Zhang Guoli, what do you think of what Xiao Chen said just now?"
Zhang Guoli said supportively, "As soon as I saw the script, I took the role without saying a word. If you ask other actors, it must be the same. ”
Everyone present nodded.
The script is solid and the story is exciting.
The reporters below all took note of this.
Then a reporter from the entertainment section of Huaguo Youth Network asked questions.
"I heard that Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang are playing the leading roles this time. You guys are supporting roles. Can you tell me why Xiao Chen and Liu Qianqian don't play the leading roles?"
Shi Xiaolong sat there and immediately felt on pins and needles. This question was a bit heartbreaking.
Chen Linfeng was well prepared. In fact, when it was revealed that the protagonist was Shi Xiaolong, there were voices on the Internet saying that he was pushing his brother hard.
Although this is not completely wrong, he also has his own considerations.
"First of all, we must make it clear that our drama is a group drama. Although Xiaolong is the protagonist, the amount of plot is not significantly larger than that of the other three of us. It is just that more perspectives are unfolded from his side.
Furthermore, considering the performance effect, Shu Chang is the most suitable for the heroine in the play in terms of personality and personal experience.
My brother is relatively close to her. It is easier for two people to have a chemical reaction, which can also be seen from their previous filming of "Jingwei Reclamation"
Generally speaking, such casting must have gone through careful thinking, no. Please don’t worry about who I am recommending.”
Now that I have said this, everyone just believes it, after all, this is their territory.
Following this topic, Chen Linfeng introduced the characters of each actor present in the play.
Of course, in a spoiler-free way.
Other things are good, Liu Qianqian plays a hot-tempered sister who likes to lose her temper, and she often quarrels with her, which everyone did not expect.
A reporter from Dazhong.com asked directly, "Why did Liu Qianqian play such a role? What considerations were there? Even if she had to transform, would it be too abrupt?"
Liu Qianqian answered this herself. question.
"Actually, An Qian in "Star You" is a bit bad-tempered.
As for Li Wenzhu this time, he is not as bad-tempered as Xiaofeng said. He is just an older sister and younger sister in a normal family. They are just quarreling with each other. This is a consideration that favors life.
As for transformation..."
At this point, Liu Qianxi pursed her lips and smiled, "Isn't the Anxi before me already gone? Have you completely turned into a joke?
There are still a group of people on the Internet who think that I have no culture at all and that my quietness is just an act.”
This is true. An Qian in "Star You" has an unexpectedly good effect on Liu Qianqian's transformation.
It can be said to be great.
Anxi’s Twenty-Four Histories has become a meme on the Internet.
Almost comparable to the "crouching dragon and phoenix chick" of later generations.
Reporters have more contact with the real Liu Qianqian because of interviews. Knowing what she is like, they would not think so.
Just looking at the logical answer just now, I wouldn't think she is stupid.
Overall, the press conference went very smoothly.
The press conference at the start of the press conference is not only for reporters to obtain information, but also as a means of reporting.
The crew also needs to use media reporters to reveal some content to help with preliminary publicity.
Both parties are in a mutually reinforcing relationship.
After the press conference, while everyone was gathered, Chen Linfeng organized everyone to take photos together.
In the alley of the courtyard in the shooting location, the slanting sunlight from behind shone down, coating everyone with a golden layer.
Cao Yu, one of the best photographers in Venice, takes photos for everyone.
"Xiaolong, don't laugh, your character is set up to have a bad face every day."
He set the camera and looked at everyone.
"The others smiled brighter, so I took the photo.
Eggplant~zi!"
Chen Linfeng looked at the effect and felt it was OK.
One more picture will be taken when it is finalized, and then we will decide which one to use as the final promotional picture.
Everyone is dismissed.
When Chen Linfeng saw Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang holding hands intimately, he couldn't help but remind him, "You two are very typical sisters in the drama. You are dissatisfied with each other. You can't act like this anymore."
Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him, "I know, you don't need to remind me, just be stricter."
She pinched Shu Chang's neck in a pretentious manner, and Shu Chang also agreed to do it with her. Fighting with each other.
"Is it like this?" Liu Qianqian asked, raising her eyebrows.
"To be honest, it's not very natural." Chen Linfeng shook his head.
“Forget it, let’s talk about this after filming starts tomorrow.”
Now is not the time to talk about this. Chen Linfeng took several familiar people from the crew to have dinner together.
In this drama, everyone has a good relationship, and that sense of familiarity and intimacy must be reflected.
He has been using various methods to strengthen this feeling.
This includes, but is not limited to, eating together, calling each other’s names in the play, and trying to play the characters in the play as much as possible.
……
Now that it’s 2008, even most official media have opened online channels and can release information faster.
After the press conference, there were reports from the media that night.
"The filming of Xiao Chen's new drama has started, and the stars are gathering"
"Xiao Chen said that the script of the new drama is the most satisfying one for him"
"A new drama that surpasses "Datang" and "Star You""
"Xiao Chen can control group dramas well "Rhythm?"
"Xiao Chen and Liu Qianqian as co-stars, what's so special about these two people"
"..."
Netizens have long been looking forward to Chen Linfeng's new drama. After seeing the reports of the launch conference, the first reaction of most people was.
Excited!
Looking forward to it!
And touting.
“Almost all of them are acquaintances. I feel like Xiao Chen is going to have another big one.”
“It’s such a blessing to have a TV series by Xiao Chen every year.”
“There is a high probability that there won’t be one this year. Last year, he seemed to have made a movie and it has already been released. In the second half of the year, he is writing a novel. It’s too bad to be broadcast this year.”
“Ah, why is this? I would die without Xiao Chen’s drama.”
My peers in the industry. We also have the feeling that the boulder has finally fallen.
Chen Linfeng registered for a new drama in the middle of last year, and everyone has been thinking about how to avoid him.
From a practical point of view, generally about a quarter after his new drama is broadcast, the ratings of non-big-production popular dramas will be somewhat affected.
"Star You" can still have good ratings even now, and some new dramas that are not very strong often cannot compare.
"Empire of the Tang Dynasty" is also a strange thing. Until this year, its ratings ranked among the top 10 among costume dramas.
Actually, Long Lin's other dramas are similar. They are the TV stations' favorite to rebroadcast. At most, the ratings are slightly lower.
But this virtually reduces the TV station's desire to buy dramas, and simply doesn't give others a way to survive.
On the contrary, Long Lin is making a lot of money. He can make long-term money from any TV series.
In the past, this was often a rare phenomenon only seen in popular classics.
However, in Longlin Company, it was just like a commonplace meal.
Speaking of it, this kind of thing happens so often, it is very jealous.
But people are upright and rely on their ability, so no one can say anything.
In addition, Long Lin knows how to be a good person, and every drama basically involves a group of collaborators. Who wouldn’t want to get on board now?
In just a few years, a fierce tiger has emerged in the field of film and television dramas.
Other film and television companies are not without ideas, and they are already studying high-quality large-scale productions.
We can’t put it off any longer. We can’t just watch others eat meat.
In fact, later this year, there will be several big-budget TV series to be launched.
"New Three Kingdoms", "New Water Margin" and "New Red Mansions" are all planned to start filming this year, and even the new version of "Journey to the West" has news of project approval.
Everyone seemed to have opened up the Ren and Du channels at once.
That’s right, I can’t beat you on my own. How can I beat you, Xiao Chen, if I include the Four Great Classics?
In Chen Linfeng's opinion, the establishment of these dramas is a good thing for him.
Especially because of the disruption he caused to the entire industry, where everyone's standards for big productions changed.
At least the emphasis on screenwriters has been greatly increased.
Fu Huadao's style was almost single-handedly reversed.
In the past two years of costume dramas, the Hong Kong and Taiwan studio style has weakened a lot.
Replaced by the type of clothing in "The Empire of the Tang Dynasty" that pursues authenticity and simplicity while also bringing some modern beauty.
The people who were in charge of art and costumes on the crew at the beginning have been dragged to various crews in the past two years.
Chen Linfeng is quite proud of this. As a time traveler, if it does not bring some good impact, then it will not be in vain.
