Chapter 370 European Tour
In late July, the weather has completely heated up.
However, this does not affect the crew of "Taken". They are now in the studio, and it is very comfortable with the air conditioner blowing.
Chen Linfeng called Lu Yang over for questioning during a break in filming.
“How do you feel on the set recently?”
Lu Yang didn't understand what the director wanted to do, so he replied honestly, "It's pretty good. I learned a lot."
As a subordinate, he subconsciously wanted to show more of his own situation and would take over the role of the crew. Communication and coordination, as well as a few experiences when trying to shoot, will be explained one by one.
Chen Linfeng thought he was worthy of being a famous director in future generations, and everything he thought was on point.
Thinking about it, he can handle the tasks recently assigned to Lu Yang.
“The next fighting scene is not too difficult, how about you give it a try?”
Lu Yang did not expect that, as his father said, Director Chen was willing to teach others and willing to delegate power.
Surprisingly, it is so fast that you can get a chance to practice it.
He is a confident person, so he quickly agreed and promised, "Director, I will definitely not let you down."
Then he left with confidence, preparing to find Cao Yu to coordinate the pick-up. Down the shooting schedule.
Chen Linfeng began to study the next shooting schedule.
Original plans need to be changed.
He needs to spare about 15 days. During this period, he will set aside some simple shooting tasks for Lu Yang to take pictures.
As a producer, Mark has rich experience. He can check and approve the finished films every day.
This was originally one of the tasks that the big producers in Hollywood needed to do.
It’s just that Chen Linfeng had more power before, and Mark just checked along with him and didn’t say much.
Now let it take care of you and you won't go wrong.
Chen Linfeng made it clear to Mark about the subsequent shooting adjustments and that he would be temporarily away for half a month.
Mark is well aware of the director's recent situation.
Hollywood has been watching the viewing frenzy caused by "Sherlock" around the world.
In their view, a new Chinese international superstar has emerged.
Moreover, Chen is not a star with limited subject matter like Fang Long.
He even briefly broke through the prejudice against skin color in the European and American world.
Just look at the current media reports, almost all of them have good things to say about him.
This is a very abnormal situation. Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that there must be forces behind it.
Mark even directly knew the driving force behind it, which was none other than Disney.
It seems that Mr. Robert Egger really intends to let Chen play the leading role in "Infinite World".
Also, "Sherlock" has proven that Chen is the kind of actor who is extremely charming and can immerse the audience into the plot.
Because of this, whether it is Disney or the British Broadcasting Corporation, there will definitely be someone urging Chen to participate in the "Shenxia" crew's promotional tour to various countries to continue to expand their influence.
Mark increasingly felt that his previous bet on Chen was a wise operation, and he was proud of it.
He patted his chest, "Don't worry, Chen, I will help you watch the crew."
"Then, I'll leave it to you."
Afterwards, Chen Linfeng explained the situation to Fang Long, Cao Yu, and Liu Qingshan, and then flew to London with Liu Qianqian.
The crew of "Shenxia" has been waiting for a long time.
On the plane.
“An endorsement fee of US$4.5 million a year and a signing fee of US$500,000. This is the latest offer from Pepsi.”
Originally, the contract signed between Pepsi and him had not yet expired, and it had only been more than two years.
The original contract with Pepsi was undoubtedly a huge profit.
Signed for 4.5 million RMB per year.
Now, even if we don’t count the past six months, the market quotation has already exceeded 10 million RMB.
Now the market is different.
After winning the Palme d'Or and "Sherlock" airing.
Both Chen Linfeng's salary and endorsement fees are in a state of severe fluctuation.
But no matter what, it is just a Coke endorsement, which can reach 4.5 million US dollars a year, which is a very high price.
In the Asian region, this is a top-notch, unprecedented price.
In particular, PepsiCo used a higher price to renew the contract in advance when the endorsement contract was only half over.
It can be said to be full of sincerity.
“The brand is so considerate.” Chen Linfeng sighed.
“It’s not good if you don’t care,” Sister Mei laughed, “The main thing is that its competitors are very concerned.”
Chen Linfeng also laughed, “Is it delicious?”
Yes, Mrs. Pepsi, you don’t want the stars you signed to be pried by others.
After laughing.
“This is one aspect,” said Sister Mei. “According to our previous plan, we were not planning to renew the contract.
With your current situation, you can already consider the luxury I have received several offers recently."
"Indeed," Chen Linfeng nodded, "but I also like drinking this, and the impact is not big, so let's continue."
“Okay, I understand,” Sister Mei continued to report, “Nike’s intention is also very strong, and the quotation has reached tens of millions.”
She paused and then explained, "I know it doesn't suit our style, but if he gives too much, it will help us increase our market quotation, so I still have to confirm with you."
"Forget it and go according to the established plan."
Chen Linfeng has not forgotten the saucy operations of Nike in later generations. The style is inconsistent with it, so don't get involved.
After talking about business, Chen Linfeng asked about Sister Mei's blind date as usual. She is almost 30 years old now, and she is a proper older woman in her hometown.
The relationship in Sister Mei's family is not very harmonious, and there have been several quarrels over this matter.
A few times when Chen Linfeng went back, Sister Mei’s family came to visit because of this matter.
Maybe Sister Mei herself has this in mind, so she has participated in several blind dates since last year.
But every time I was asked how the blind date went, I shook my head.
This time I finally got a different answer.
"We are talking about this now, it depends on the situation."
"Really?" Chen Linfeng sat up straight, "Tell me, who is he, let me meet him another day?"
< br>Sister Mei rolled her eyes at him, "You are just like my elders. How can any younger brother care about this?"
"We are all younger brothers, so we can't care about our elder brothers and sisters." Chen Linfeng said plausibly.
In my Chen family, my younger brother is in charge.
Sister Mei didn't hold back at all, "Xiaolong is really bullied by you a lot. You don't need to take care of my affairs."
After Xiao made a few jokes, Chen Linfeng said seriously, "How about I give it to you? Take some time off and sort out your own affairs first.”
“It’s okay, you’re busy now, I can’t leave.”
“It’s okay. , Xiao Chang has also experienced it, it’s okay to let her take the lead for a while, right, Xiao Chang?”
Xiao Chang was called by the boss, but he didn’t expect to have his own affairs.
She responded in confusion, "What did the boss call me for?"
Chen Linfeng said angrily, "It's okay."
This employee is not motivated at all.
If you leave others alone, especially those who know how to write, you should not pay attention to the boss's movements all the time.
But after all, it’s nice to have a pistachio in the team who likes to fish and makes people laugh from time to time.
As long as you don't procrastinate in your work, it will be fine.
The topic ended and Chen Linfeng stopped talking.
Liu Qianqian was sleeping soundly next to her. There was a constant noise next to her, but she didn't respond.
Chen Linfeng sighed, "Good sleep", then lifted the blanket on her body, and then leaned on the chair and closed her eyes to rest.
……
July 25th.
The UK has finished airing three episodes of the first season of "Sherlock".
Chen Linfeng came to London, England, where he was loyal.
At this time, Chen was the most eye-catching star in the UK.
The first season ended with a ratings of 33.9% and a total audience of just over 8 million viewers.
This is a ground-breaking achievement. Since 2000, when statistics are available, no previous British drama has achieved such an achievement.
Chen, as the original author of the novel, and the center of the play - the actor of Sherlock.
Great credit!
Juan Fu, the male protagonist in his previous life, ranked first in searches on Twitter 20 minutes after the first episode aired.
As a result, a Guinness record was created - the person who became famous the fastest in the world.
Chen Linfeng was a well-known figure before, and of course he would not have such a record.
But in terms of the depth and breadth of his influence, he goes above and beyond.
In depth, Chen Linfeng clearly realized this after arriving in London.
As soon as he walked out of the airport, almost every British person he met could recognize him at a glance.
They shouted "Sherlock" loudly and quickly gathered around to express their surprise.
"Oh, it's the real Sherlock."
"I like your performance so much, can you give me an autograph?"
"Chen, I have fallen in love with you, can you Give me a chance?”
There is someone who knows his last name, but are you serious, buddy?
“Oh, you are Lily, you are so beautiful in real life.”
With the broadcast of "Shenxia", Liu Qianqian's forensic lady has also become well-known.
The more people gathered around, it was about to lead to an incident.
Fortunately, there was a car specially sent by the drama crew to pick him up outside the airport. Chen Linfeng said sorry to the crowd, then took Liu Qianqian and quickly got into the car and left.
It’s the same at the hotel. Even if the staff tries to restrain themselves, little sister, don’t let your hands shake like this.
There are several guests who have also checked in, and they always have the same reaction when they see Chen Linfeng.
First there was a surprised scream of "Sherlock", then some stood there taking pictures with their phones, then edited the text and tweeted it, all in one go.
This era is getting closer and closer to what Chen Linfeng remembered.
Some people rush over to get close to their idols and express their love.
There were not that many people in the hotel. Chen Linfeng complied with the fans’ request and took a group photo with them.
Liu Qianqian was not ignored in this process.
She plays a very important role in the play, and her beauty also left a deep impression on the audience.
Therefore, when "Sherlock" appears together, everyone will only be surprised by the appearance of "Lily".
On the Internet now, except for most plot parties who analyze the plot and details of "Sherlock" in depth.
Many of the main creators, especially Chen Linfeng, are being scrutinized by netizens about their past experiences, emotional life, personality traits and other contents.
Sherlock and Lily are a couple in reality, it is no secret.
