Chapter 362 Only geniuses can perform Shylock
Things in Cannes are basically over. Chen Linfeng didn't have time to return to China to celebrate and needed to rush to Paris to start filming.
Mark and Fanglong have been waiting for more than half a month.
He left all matters regarding the domestic release of "Sunset" to Sister Mei and Shen Fei from China Film Studio to jointly handle it.
When Zhang Yimou is in the country, he will be able to follow up.
He completely became a hands-off shopkeeper.
"You are so relaxed, leaving everything to others."
Chen Linfeng glanced at Liu Qianqian, "I can't get away now, how about you come?"
Liu Qianqian immediately shook her head, "I still don't want it, I definitely can't do it."
Her family knows her own affairs, and she doesn't even take care of her own studio. She usually relies on Liu Xiaoli's help.
Asking her to help Xiaofeng would be a disservice.
But speaking of this.
Chen Linfeng thought about it and realized that he really needed one more helper.
Sister Mei is very good at negotiation and personnel management, and she is even better at being an agent.
But the production aspect, including the later promotion of the film, still has to be watched by Chen Linfeng.
When I was filming TV series in the past, if Long Lin could provide someone, Chen Shantong would be in charge.
Now in the film field, there are no similar roles.
Thinking of this, Chen Linfeng called Sister Mei and asked her to pay attention to similar talents.
"Don't worry, Xiaofeng, I'm already looking. Qilin has been recruiting people since the end of last year. We just want to find the right one, but it's not that fast."
"Oh, Just pay attention.”
Chen Linfeng suddenly realized that it seemed that Sister Mei had also noticed the problem of insufficient manpower.
Back in Paris, Fanglong and Mark came to greet him.
Fang Long looked at him with complicated eyes, "Xiao Chen, congratulations, you have taken another step forward."
"Haha, eldest brother has also heard about it?"
"Tiantian I saw the news about you in Paris, Palme d’Or, double gold director, creator of perfect art, the media praised you a lot.”
Chen Linfeng said cheerfully, "It's all in the past, let's just focus on the current film."
Mark said, "Chen, if you win the award, it will also be of great benefit to "The Rescue" itself. , you mentioned the film you are currently filming in Cannes, and I am also cooperating with the promotion. Now there are many fans looking forward to your new film."
Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows. Thumbs up, "As expected of you, you did a great job."
"However, not only did "Hurricane Rescue" benefit, there was another work that was also using your name to increase publicity. ”
Anything else?
Chen Linfeng just thought about it and suddenly said, "It's "Sherlock", right?"
"Yes, it's them."
...
In the evening, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian were switching between watching programs on the hotel TV.
At this time, the cell phone rang, Chen Linfeng walked away and answered it.
"Chen, congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or."
"Su, it's you, thank you for your congratulations."
The two chatted for a while, and then got down to business.
Soviet was very surprised that Chen Linfeng won the award.
Two months before the TV series was launched, the male protagonist suddenly made big news around the world.
This saves Xuanfa a lot of work. Winning an award is even more effective than their time-consuming and laborious publicity.
She also realized the surprise that Yu Shengming and Zhang Li enjoyed back then.
That is, before the TV series starts, the leading actor will win an award first.
It smells so good.
Suvit praised for a while, and then talked about the main purpose of the call.
"Chen, when I announce it, I will focus on describing a concept. Sherlock Holmes is a genius, and Chen, you are also a genius."
Chen Linfeng's expression changed, "So..."
< br>“So this is the interpretation of genius by genius. Compared with skin color, the commonality of genius is much more critical.
In this world, there is no genius who can act better than you, and there is no actor. , smarter than you."
Suvit said solemnly, "Chen, I hope you can cooperate with our propaganda."
Chen Linfeng sighed, "So that's how you operate it."
After the post-production of "Sherlock" was completed, the finished film went through three rounds of screenings, and the response was particularly good.
Yingguang wants to increase its investment.
But the protagonist’s skin color has always been a problem, and it’s easy for people to find fault with it.
But if the concept of "only geniuses are best suited to play Sherlock Holmes" can be formed among the vast number of book fans, then skin color will probably not be a problem.
Yingguang had thought about this before, but it had been hesitant.
After all, marketing concepts cost much more than general publicity.
Even as a world-class media, Yingguang cannot make a decision easily.
But at this time, news came from the Cannes Film Festival. After the youngest director who won the Golden Lion, the youngest director of the Palme d'Or also appeared.
If you consider Chen Linfeng’s past, he has many titles of “youngest in history”.
This is not genius. What is genius?
While the Palme d'Or news spreads around the world, the difficulty of marketing will be greatly reduced.
"But even if it is Yingguang, even if it has the help of the Palme d'Or, if the marketing is to be effective, it still needs your cooperation, chen, you can't reveal the truth to the outside world."
Chen Linfeng said with a bitter smile. , "The genius character is the most difficult to maintain."
Especially when marketing the character around the world.
"But you are a genius, aren't you?"
Suvit asked, "I have seen your past resume and deeds. As long as it is not fake, anyone who looks at it will think that it is only a genius. "Chen, tell me, are those things false?" Chen Linfeng complained, "I don't even know what you are talking about."
“Okay, I won’t deliberately contradict your marketing content. It’s just that you need to send me a copy of the content you send beforehand. It can’t be too exaggerated.
I don't want to end up with a broken personality.
If it’s something I can’t do, I will directly deny it to the outside world. Don’t blame me for not cooperating then. "
"No problem, as long as you agree to do marketing this way, thank you, chen. "
"This is beneficial to me, so there is nothing I can't thank you for. ”
After the call ended, Chen Linfeng returned to the bedroom with a frown.
"Xiao Feng, who called you? Why do you look a little unhappy?"
Chen Linfeng sighed, "Your husband, I am going to become famous."
"Ah ?"
Not wanting to refute the title of "husband" for a moment, Liu Qianqian asked strangely, "Isn't it a good thing to be famous? Why are you looking so sad?"
Chen Linfeng explained what was said on the phone. State it again.
After Liu Qianqian heard this, she suddenly slapped him hard.
"Why did you hit me?"
"Are you in...well, the 'Versailles' you were talking about again?"
Chen Linfeng said with a headache, "You I don’t understand, I just have a better memory, and I can only memorize it, like learning a few more foreign languages, memorizing a few more books on history, literature, ancient architecture, ancient costumes, etc. It’s not like I’m a genius.”
Liu Qianqian still didn’t understand that she was being teased again, so she pounced on you, "You said you were not in Versailles, I will bite you to death."
"Hey, be gentle, you girl is so mean."
...
Now that Chen Linfeng is back, of course the crew will start to work.
On the third day, they completed all preparations and shot some simple content in the venue built in advance.
After waiting for a few more days, the Paris municipal government approved the application for location shooting.
The crew of "Taken" has officially started filming and released news.
On the first day of filming, many local media in Paris came to interview.
Not only that, the Paris municipal government, including a deputy mayor, also came to take a tour.
The mayor not only came to get close to Fang Tao, but also found Chen Linfeng and chatted for a while.
The Cannes Film Festival is their important event in France. It is impossible to say that Paris does not pay attention to it.
This time there is a Grand Slam master, and at the same time there is the youngest Palme d'Or director in history.
It is still a hot topic of conversation.
In particular, there have been relevant discussions recently both on the Internet and in the media:
Whether Chen is one of the most significant geniuses of this era.
In the past, this title was usually given to people majoring in science and engineering.
There are too many geniuses engaged in science.
Even geniuses like them, who are so genius, have explored areas that most people cannot understand or understand.
In the liberal arts, or in the fields of art and literature, there has always been a rare term for genius.
Because in these fields, it is actually difficult to judge whether someone is a genius.
Most of these perceptual aspects do not have an accurate answer.
By the time the world realizes what is extraordinary about them, or when they have achieved remarkable results, geniuses are often no longer young.
That is no longer called a genius, but a master.
This time is different. A director with double gold medals has emerged, generally more than 20 years behind when master directors with the same achievements achieved this goal.
Including his achievements in novels, actors, soundtracks, etc.
The word genius was simply born for such people.
Outside of China, especially in Europe and the United States, some people who knew him in the past thought that Chen was a very cool and powerful person.
But now, I don’t know who promoted it.
Everyone suddenly realized that this person was really so arrogant. If he could be described as a genius, only genius would be the most suitable word.
When the corresponding discussion gradually spreads and the popularity drops slightly.
Another topic was raised:
In Conan Doyle's books, who is more genius than Chen, the most famous clever detective in the world?
Compare the characters in the book with real people?
This is so interesting.
Discussions about this on the Internet can be described as one after another.
No one can tell anyone.
Soon, even some European variety shows, including beautiful countries, began to set topics and discuss similar topics in certain programs.
Of course, they also have their own ideas.
We often add famous geniuses from our country now or in history to make comparisons.
What remains unchanged is that Chen Linfeng and Sherlock Holmes, as the starting point of the topic, are generally the objects of comparison.
Win or lose between them is uncertain, and compared with other geniuses, there are also winners and losers.
But if he can be compared with genius celebrities, he himself must be a genius beyond ordinary people.
There is no doubt about it.
Gradually, Chen Linfeng’s genius character gradually became popular among the people.
Then, comes the next stage.
Chen Linfeng knew that Yingguang initiated this wave of marketing.
It is natural to observe the context of changes in public opinion.
I can only say that it is breathtaking.
This kind of media hegemony in Europe and the United States is really not a joke.
Just to promote a TV series can spark a big discussion around the world.
Gradually make your marketing concept deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
