Chapter 236 Mr. Fan on the Red Carpet
Next it was Zhang Chen and Fan Xiaopang’s turn. Sister Jiuyi took Zhang Chen’s arm and began to enjoy the spotlight.
"Fan Binbin, I love you..."
"Fan Binbin, look here..."
Fans are crazy, and they are generally young.
Only young people with money and leisure can chase stars crazily. When they get older and their minds gradually grow, they will slowly lose this happiness.
Fan Xiaopang kept waving to fans along the way, and occasionally stopped to sign autographs. It was obvious that she enjoyed this highlight moment.
“You should be familiar with this scene, right?” Zhang Chen asked with a smile from the side.
“Why do you say that?”
“Aren’t you a member of "Returning the Pearl"? "Returning the Pearl" was so popular back then. I remember you also organized a meeting for Asian movie fans... ”
This is the news that Zhang Chen saw back then. "Returning the Pearl" was very popular throughout Southeast Asia, and every country it visited was packed with people.
Later, "Chinese Restaurant" was filmed in Thailand, and Zhao Yanzi was a guest. When he went to buy ingredients, he was still recognized by the local boss and gave him a discount.
At that time, 20 years had passed since "Returning the Pearl" was broadcast, and the actors were still getting bonuses, which shows how popular the show was back then.
"That's different~" Fan Jiuyi shook his head: "In "Returning the Pearl", I was just a small supporting role. Everyone basically paid attention to Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi, while "Shark Beach" is a unique My glory..."
Sister Jiuyi understands this aspect very clearly.
"Returning the Pearl" can at best turn her from a transparent child into a well-known person, but she is still far from a big star.
Including the following, she has appeared in so many movies and TV series, but she is still some way away from becoming a star.
Until "Shark Beach"...
The two walked not very fast, interacting with fans and the media along the way. Fan Xiaopang was born to be a news body, and he was the focus of the spotlight wherever he went.
The two stopped in the autograph area, signed autographs, and then appeared for photos. The red carpet was mostly completed, and then came to the interview area to be interviewed by reporters.
These are common questions. First, I asked about the specific situation of "Hurricane Rescue". I was very excited to learn that it had been completed, but Zhang Chen did not reveal too much.
Seeing this, the media began to pay attention to this film festival.
"Director Zhang, this is your first time being shortlisted for a domestic film festival. Do you have the confidence to win a trophy?"
"Of course, I am very confident about my popularity among college students. I'm quite confident, I'm still a college student myself..."
Zhang Chen didn't say those official clichés. It depends on the support of the audience and the evaluation of the judges. He told the media honestly. , labor and management can get awards~
The media we interviewed were very excited. As expected, they were friends of the media. They were rushing to give us results.
Great people~
"As far as I know, the favorites for the Most Popular Director Award among College Students this time are you and Director Feng Xiaogang. Do you think you can beat Director Feng to win the award? ?”
There are still people who don’t think it’s a big deal and want to take advantage of it.
Zhang Chen smiled: "Then I don't know. Director Feng is also a very good director. His films are very popular among young people. Of course I hope that I will win the award in the end, but Feng Directors should not be underestimated..."
"Director Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" has received multiple nominations this time. What do you have to say about this?"
Reporters are very good at stirring up trouble. When Feng Xiaogang failed, he immediately Then he turned his attention to Lu Chuan.
Someone added: "When "Kekexili" won the Tokyo Film Festival Grand Prix, Lu Chuan once said that his film won the award based on strength, not a woman's thighs. This is obviously the connotation of "Shark". "Teacher Zhang, don't you have anything to say in response to this?"
Facing the reporter's provocation, Zhang Chen remained unmoved. He looked at Fan Binbin and smiled lightly, "About Lu." I won’t make any comments, today is the film festival, we don’t want to steal other people’s limelight.”
Zhang Chen didn’t let them get what they wanted, and he did mean what he said.
Although I am unhappy with Lu Chuan, today is the awards ceremony of the major film festival and I cannot steal the limelight from others.
This is a taboo in the industry.
Those who steal the limelight, such as female stars deliberately falling down and being exposed at some award ceremonies, may seem to be getting traffic at the time, but they will definitely be blocked by the organizers afterwards.
And this is a circle, everyone knows each other.
If one company bans you, when another company holds an event, it must consider the cost-effectiveness of inviting you to come. Over time, it may become confusing.
Not getting the answer they wanted from Zhang Chen, the reporter approached Fan Xiaopang again.
"Hello Fan Binbin, the success of "Shark Beach" has pushed you to the A-list actress, and now you are competing for the Most Popular Actress Award. How are you feeling at this time?"
"I'm very excited. I didn't expect that "Shark Beach" would receive so much support. I would like to thank Director Zhang for choosing me, and thank you to the fans for supporting me. I am sincerely grateful!"
"This is the most important moment for me." Li Binbin is also a popular candidate for the Popular Actress Award among College Students. Are you confident that you can beat her? "
"It depends on the audience's choice." Fan Binbin has seen this kind of pushback and answered with ease.
A staff member next to him signaled that the time was almost up, a new star was coming in from behind, and Zhang Chen and the two left.
Entering the venue, there will be dedicated staff to guide you. The seats are arranged in advance, and they are usually from the same crew. Because he had just met Feng Xiaogang and the others before, Zhang Chen just said hello and came to his seat after entering the venue.
What surprised him was that the person sitting next to him was Feng Gong.
"Teacher Feng Gong..."
"Director Zhang Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you..."
Feng Gong is Zhang Chen's favorite actor. One of the two pillars of the Spring Festival Gala is him and the other is Zhao Benshan.
Every Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Chen only looks forward to the performances of these two people. If there are other good ones, it can only be regarded as a surprise.
Although he has a distinguished family background, his great-grandfather was the Beiyang warlord Feng Guozhang, and he was educated in textbooks, but in terms of artistic achievements, Feng Gong was not bad either.
Traditional cross talk has always been about praising and amusing.
Feng Gong and Niu Qun made an innovation. Their cross talk did not include obvious compliments and teases. The two of them played two roles at the same time, both compliments and teases.
If Magistrate Niu hadn't gone to become an official later, Feng Gong's achievements in the cross talk world would not be worse than those of Guo Degang, or even better. After all, he was orthodox and his teacher was Ma Ji.
Zhang Chen remembers that at this major film festival, Feng Gong seemed to have gained a lot. "I Can't Eat Hot Tofu" not only won the Best Comedy Award, but he also won the Most Popular Actor Among College Students award. award.
"Director Zhang..."
Just after we chatted for a few words, someone came over to say hello, it was Huang Xiaoming.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which he collaborated with Liu Tianxian, just finished filming not long ago. Now Huang Xiaoming still has short hair, and it looks like he has just finished filming a costume drama.
"I just saw you on the red carpet, and I didn't have time to say hello..."
Huang leader showed his signature smile again and shook hands with Zhang Chen.
Master Huang has no problem at all with his behavior, otherwise he wouldn't be so popular in the circle.
Then Huang Xiaoming seemed to have made a start, and there was an endless stream of people coming to say hello, Xia Yu, Liu Tianxian, Fan Wei...
The film festival is originally a place for socializing. Why do big stars like to come? In addition to the exposure, being able to meet many big names in the industry who are not usually seen is also an important reason.
Although Fan Binbin's seat was right next to him, the person had already left. Like everyone else, she went to build relationships.
Zhang Chen secretly observed that the situation at Feng Xiaogang was similar.
Directors are the top resource in this circle, not to mention people like Zhang Chen and Feng Xiaogang who are both directors and investors, so they are even more scarce. Every actor wants to leave a good impression. , if you think of it one day, it might be an opportunity.
Fan Binbin shuttled among the crowd, saying hello to acquaintances from time to time. Occasionally when he met someone he was not familiar with, he would say hello and get to know him, and leave his phone number by the way. Wouldn’t he be an acquaintance next time he met?
It's not for nothing that Chinese people say she's good at sneaking around.
Otherwise they have been relegated to the background for so many years, and they can still provide resources for Fan Chengcheng. Isn’t it just relying on the contacts accumulated in daily life~
But in other words, Fan Chengcheng is really her. Brother?
Now Fan Binbin is like a fish in water. The success of "Shark Beach" has made him gain a lot of popularity, and he has successfully established a personal studio. Whether it is personal or career, he is deeply tied to Zhang Chen.
And with Mu Xiaoguang, a professional, taking care of it, I feel that things around me are going much smoother.
The public image has also changed visibly.
When she was in Huayi, she was really blackened into carbon, and Huayi never cared about it.
Now, under the guidance of Mu Xiaoguang, he is changing his public image in a planned way, and some initial results have been achieved.
Today’s award ceremony is the best proof.
Although some of those fans are entrusted by the company, there are also many who are real fans.
In addition, Mu Xiaoguang also has a lot of money in peripheral business.
He is lobbying PepsiCo to include Fan Binbin as a spokesperson for China.
After Pepsi entered the Asian market, in order to quickly expand sales, it focused its efforts on celebrities.
They hired all big names: Leslie Cheung, Liu Tianwang, Guo Tianwang, Wang Fei, Zhou Jialun, F4, which is popular in Asia, and last year they also added Jolin Tsai, who can sing and dance...
< br>Their big-name strategy later gave rise to a phenomenon, not that all their spokespersons are big-name, but that being their spokesperson means you are a big-name.
Look, this is the influence of big companies~
If you can endorse Pepsi-Cola, then you must be a superstar, a star among stars.
This has been regarded as an honor and is highly sought after by celebrities.
Mu Xiaoguang is indeed a talent, and he has a clear path for creating Fan Xiaopang.
First win the Pepsi spokesperson. With Pepsi's recognition, the celebrity position will be stable, and you will have a ticket to enter the eye of luxury goods companies.
