Chapter 301 The impact has just begun
Iger’s mood is similar.
As a president, he doesn't like to argue with others. The protagonist's skin color is not even a problem to him at first.
It’s just that this project couldn’t be completed without Chen’s nod.
Iger didn’t want to make things difficult to deal with. He thought of the other party’s suggestion of pushing it to next year just now.
"Why push it to next year? Do you think there will be any big changes by next year?"
Then we can only take a gamble, Chen Linfeng thought.
“Yes, I hope to consider whether I can be the protagonist after "Sherlock" is broadcast next year.
If the situation has changed significantly by then, I hope Disney can reconsider, and if this show doesn't create any waves, I won't say anything about the protagonist."
Robert Iger didn't react much when he heard Chen Linfeng's words.
"What are you talking about..."Sherlock"?"
As the president, after all, he will not pay too much attention to small things other than key projects.
Chen Linfeng explained his cooperation with Yingguang.
“A TV series?”
Iger murmured to himself, “This TV series has given you so much confidence?”
He didn't know what the show was about, so he wouldn't judge it rashly, but considering the importance of appeasing the other person's emotions, he decided to agree.
"Okay, I promise you, this matter will be settled first."
Robert Iger himself has no preference for the protagonist. As long as he can help the company make money, everything is easy to say. .
So if Chen really meets the qualifications, then it would not be a bad idea for the original author and a Chinese who meets the setting to play the leading role to please the fans of the original work.
After returning to the company, he immediately asked people to collect relevant information about "Sherlock":
The series of novels written by Chen is also based on Sherlock Holmes.
The male protagonist is Chinese, played by Chen himself. Filming will start in the second half of this year and is expected to be broadcast next year.
This guy really has his style.
It’s not easy for Ying Guang to agree.
Robert Egger threw the file on the table and let's leave it at that for now.
Although I'm not very optimistic about what Chen can gain from a TV series.
But it is a good thing to use this as an excuse to leave the other party with nothing to say.
......
Things in the beautiful country are over.
Chen Linfeng did not return directly to China, but first took a "side trip" to France to visit the "Twelve Zodiac" crew who were filming here, as well as his girlfriend.
Speaking of this, one has to lament Fanglong’s international influence.
In "Zodiac", France is obviously an unflattering image, and can even be said to be a villain.
But they were able to get permission from the French government to film the scene in Paris and the Chateau de Chantilly.
It is about the same as foreigners taking pictures in the Summer Palace in China. It is indeed quite impressive.
When Chen Linfeng arrived, they were studying the structure of the castle, mainly to ensure that no damage was caused to the castle.
Fang Long received the news in advance that Xiao Chen would come to visit the class and brought people to greet him.
“You really made big news this time. In the past few days I have been in Paris, I have heard people ask you a lot, and they are all very curious about you.”
“ Haha, Brother Fang Long is complimenting me."
Fang Long said seriously, "No, this is the truth. When I met some officials in Paris some time ago, one of them asked me: 'Is Chen so popular in China? My two children are asking me to buy "Infinite World" as a gift for them.'
I said no, Chen is more popular in China. Welcome.”
What he said was so funny and a little sincere that Chen Linfeng couldn't say anything for a moment.
Brother Fang Long is so complimentary, it’s rare.
At this time, everyone walked inside the castle. Liu Qianqian was looking at the paintings on the wall with her hands behind her back. When she turned around, she saw that it was Chen Linfeng and Fang Long together.
Her expression instantly became wonderful.
"Xiao Feng, you...why are you here?"
"I'm here to visit the class. I made a special trip to see you."
We met in this foreign country and haven't seen each other for another month or two.
How harmful this is to a couple who is in love.
Liu Qianqian was a little ready to move and really wanted to hug her, but after looking at the people around her, she still restrained herself.
On the contrary, it was Chen Linfeng who took the initiative to hug him.
"Aren't you afraid of being known?"
"What do you know?" Chen Linfeng said with a smile, "I just can't help myself when I see a good friend."
As expected, no one around me cared.
Seeing that the boss had something to talk about, the others dispersed and went about their own business.
Fang Long usually cannot show weakness in front of his brothers, but facing Chen Linfeng, it was a little different.
He complained, "I didn't realize it before. Only when I re-filmed such a high-intensity action scene this time did I really realize the impact of age. Actions that I could do easily in the past have now become difficult. ”
Fang Long said that when he was on the set before, he was just filming an action of drilling into a picture frame, and his back suffered a lot of injuries.
This made him very frustrated.
It’s not that the injury is serious.
It is not uncommon for someone to go into shock on the spot and almost die.
But this time is different.
This kind of action used to be a daily routine, and there would be no problems whatsoever.
“I really feel that this is my last ‘Fang Long-style action movie’.”
Fang Long said with a painful expression, “Xiao Chen, I’ve thought about it. I will try to transform in the direction you said."
Chen Linfeng said in surprise, "Brother, don't you try to take the path of literary opera?" This was what was decided before, why did it suddenly change.
"The prepared movie will definitely be filmed, but..."
Fang Long smiled bitterly, "Maybe I still can't let go of the action genre. I have been filming this kind of thing all my life. It’s a bit difficult for me to start the play almost from scratch.”
Chen Linfeng understands that this kind of thinking is normal and everyone has path dependence.
However, having said that, the inside story is certainly not that simple.
The biggest variable in this is himself.
Perhaps Fang Long had hesitated in his previous life, but at that time there was no one with the right status to show him another way, so he had to figure it out on his own.
In this generation, Chen Linfeng has a clear idea. As a Golden Lion Award-winning director, he has enough weight. Now he is taking another step towards success.
Considering Xiao Chen’s unfailing experience, Fang Long wanted to get on the bus earlier, which makes sense.
"That's okay, but this matter still needs to be determined again. My plans for this year are already full, next year..."
Chen Linfeng thought of the agreement he made with Robert Egger.
"It should be possible in the first half of next year. I will discuss it with Sister Mei later, and then I will confirm the time with Brother Fanglong. What do you think?"
"Well, no problem. . ”
After Fang Long finished talking about his own affairs, he left decisively without disturbing the couple.
He has rich experience and has long seen that there is something wrong with the relationship between the two people.
Chen Linfeng and Qian Qian had not seen each other for a long time, so he simply asked for a leave for her, and then started a "long chat" in the hotel.
It wasn’t until the next morning that there was another time.
After Liu Qianqian washed up in the morning, her face was still flushed, and she obviously had a very happy chat.
Chen Linfeng came to France not only to visit and chat with the monitor, but also to meet Professor An.
Although Sissi's father is separated from Liu Xiaoli, he has obviously been paying attention to his daughter's situation.
On New Year's Day at the beginning of the year and in March after the new year, the parents of both parties met once.
Liu Xiaoli did not hide this matter, but informed Professor An.
Of course he also wants to meet someone who dares to serve his own cabbage.
The three agreed to meet in a cafe.
Professor An arrived first, and then saw his daughter coming in with a man on her arm, acting intimately, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
However, for his profession, there is nothing to be seen from the outside, and he even appears to be amiable.
"This is Xiao Chen. I have heard news about you all the time here in Paris."
"Hello, Uncle An, I am Sissy's boyfriend, Chen Linfeng .”
I know! So can you please stop being so close to my daughter!
"Haha, you are indeed a talented person. I heard that you and Sissi have known each other for a long time?"
"Yes, I just returned to China not long ago. At that time, he came to visit the crew, and then we exchanged contact information." Liu Qianqian rushed to answer.
Huh? Sissi was only 15 years old at that time!
Professor An’s expression condensed, “How old is Xiao Chen this year?”
“Just 20 years old, I am a few months younger than Sissy.”
Oh. , the misunderstanding was resolved.
Chen Linfeng felt weird. He always felt that the other person was not very happy, but when he heard him talk, he felt very friendly. Maybe it was an illusion.
Professor An then asked Chen Linfeng a lot of questions, mostly about his family situation and the details of their relationship.
I didn’t ask much about Chen Linfeng’s career.
The overall attitude seems to be pretty good, but every time Liu Qianqian helps to speak or talks to her boyfriend, Chen Linfeng feels a chill.
After many times, he is not stupid, so he is naturally aware of it.
Emotionally, the father-in-law is still feeling unhappy.
So who allowed you to call me father-in-law! ? ?
Chen Linfeng understands very well that as a father, the mood in this situation is almost the same all over the world.
He replied very carefully, maintaining a cautious attitude throughout the process.
In the end, the conversation was successfully completed, and both parties exchanged opinions without any controversy.
At least Liu Qianqian was satisfied after watching the two of them finish their conversation.
The trip to Paris ended and Chen Linfeng returned to China.
Interviews with some media are naturally indispensable, especially Huayang TV, which took it very seriously and gave an unconventional interview.
It is almost similar to the format of the last Oscar, and this time, according to the person in charge of the program, it will also be mixed with comments from some well-known writers in the industry.
Of course it’s basically all praise.
This itself can also reflect a certain attitude above.
Books are sold all over the world, which is different from other entertainment works after all.
Thinking about Da Liu in his previous life, a "Three-Body" series directly pushed him to the top of the list of writers.
This shows how much attention the above attaches to such matters.
During this period, Mr. Tie also called and talked about Chen Linfeng’s position as co-worker.
If nothing else goes wrong, he will definitely be promoted by one liter during the change of leadership.
Such outstanding achievements cannot be limited by seniority.
Chen Linfeng is happy to see this happen. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, at least it sounds like that.
Not only that, but influenced by this, this year’s literary awards can also be imagined.
Not to mention domestic, Disney is already fighting for a series of awards in Europe and the United States.
Domestically, "Infinite World" is not very literary after all, so it may not lose face by the traditional awards.
However, the novel "Her", as a work that has been widely praised by the industry, should be rewarding.
In short, long-term sales of physical novels are far from over after the book is completed.
The influence of the "Infinite World" series has just begun.
