Chapter 399 Shi Xiaolong’s martial arts journey
"Of course I am very happy to win the best director. You mean the youngest in history? This is nothing. My age is too advantageous. No matter what award I win, I will be the youngest."
"Hollywood is fine. After all, they release one movie a year. Relatively speaking, it's definitely not too sensational. I don't think everyone should pay too much attention to it.
Of course, I am more in favor of awarding awards once a year. Once every two years is a bit long. ”
"Have you ever been discriminated against? Well, if I am still discriminated against when I go there, then I think the discrimination there is too serious, not to this level."
"The filming of "Infinite World" has been completed, and it went smoothly. Maybe we can see you in the middle of next year, or at the end of the year. How long does it take? Not too long. The post-production of special effects movies takes a long time."
"I think the box office of "Sunset" is okay. It's 43 million US dollars. I feel very satisfied. After all, it's just a low-cost art film, so it won't have a high box office."
"There's nothing wrong with Sissi and I. It's not because I still have unfinished work on "Infinite World", so I stayed a little longer. Director Zhang and the others also came back early. Let me tell you, don't make assumptions. ”
"..."
After returning to China, Chen Linfeng, who had disappeared in China for nearly a year, was naturally surrounded by reporters.
And the emotions are very strong.
Therefore, Chen Linfeng was also very knowledgeable and took the initiative to hold a press conference without waiting for the media's constant invitations.
It took two full hours to answer many questions, and finally satisfied the reporters' questions for the time being.
……
In early spring, the weather has begun to warm up a bit, and the green plants in the yard have begun to sprout new shoots. The tender green color is very pleasant to look at.
Chen Linfeng sat on his sofa and Ge You lay down, watching TV boredly.
Although he has plans to make a new movie, I don't know if it is because he has been busy for more than half a year. Now he just wants to stay at home and not move at all.
The current dramas on TV were not nutritious. The remote control was not far from him, but he just didn't want to reach out and change the channel.
At this time, the door outside opened. Chen Linfeng turned around and saw Liu Qianqian coming in carrying something.
"Xiao Feng, look who's coming."
"Who?"
Liu Qianqian stepped aside, revealing Shi Xiaolong's smiling face.
"Hey, where are you free?"
Chen Linfeng sat up with support, "Xiaolong came so early, where are his parents?"
"They arrived late, I came first, and I happened to bump into Sissy." Shi Xiaolong came over after changing his shoes and glanced at the TV, "What kind of drama is this? Why haven't I seen it?"
Chen Linfeng replied, "I just finished watching "The New Red Mansion". I didn't change the channel and didn't pay attention to it."
Shi Xiaolong asked curiously, "Have you watched "The New Red Mansion"? What did it feel like?"
Chen Linfeng thought for a while and said, "It's okay. It's watchable. It's definitely not comparable to the old version. But this kind of original work is the screenwriter himself. As long as he doesn't seek death, the actors are adjusted well, and the director just follows the filming."
"Indeed," Shi Xiaolong nodded.
He continued to ask, "Speaking of this, for my next film, I want to try to make a martial arts film with an original story. What do you think?
Like you said, as long as the screenwriter doesn't mess around, it shouldn't be too difficult to film, right? ”
Chen Linfeng said in surprise, "Which story do you like?"
He quite understood Xiaolong not continuing to film the police story.
A good series must be as cautious as possible. It is better to shoot it every two years, and the market will be bigger by then.
And as time goes by, many people will watch the previous movie online. At this time, if a sequel is made, the audience will be larger.
But when filming martial arts, there is still an original story, which is a bit strange.
After all, many domestic martial arts novels are long-form and are actually not easy to adapt.
Shi Xiaolong replied, "I read Gu Long's novels some time ago and felt that short stories like "Seven Weapons" are more suitable for adaptation into movies, so I came up with this idea."
Chen Linfeng was speechless. He had filmed "Peacock Feathers" in his previous life. Will he still be related to this series in this life?
He thought again and again, then shook his head, "To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about it."
"Why?"
At this time, Liu Qianqian washed the fruit and brought it to the two of them, and asked by the way.
"What are you talking about? You look very serious."
"Xiaolong wants to make a new film and asks me for my opinion."
Chen Linfeng replied, and then organized his language slightly,
"It's the same old saying. In my opinion, movie audiences are a little tired of these old-school martial arts stories. They want to watch something new."
Shi Xiaolong wondered, "New? How else can martial arts be new?"
"Past film and television works have already exhausted the pure Jianghu, and it is difficult to give the audience a fresh feeling."
Chen Linfeng paused and was about to continue.
Liu Qianqian, who was listening on the side, suddenly thought, "I know, instead of filming the Jianghu, you can film the government."
Chen Linfeng glanced at his girlfriend unexpectedly, "What Qianqian said is not wrong. To be more specific, it is a story about organizations like Six Doors and Bad People."
Shi Xiaolong frowned and thought, "Isn't this the police in ancient times? It's a police movie."
"Yes, almost." Chen Linfeng affirmed, "You already have experience in this area. You only need to transplant the background and construct the ancient scenes, and the shooting will have a completely different feeling."
Shi Xiaolong scratched his head and said, "But I really don't understand these ancient things."
"It's okay, as long as someone understands. Just do the action scenes as before and let the director do the rest. Then find a good historical consultant and respect other people's opinions."
Shi Xiaolong wondered, "Is this reliable?"
He was a little unsure. He always felt that ancient drama required a lot of knowledge, and it was not something that a scumbag like him could produce. Liu Qianqian also said with a worried tone, "Not everyone can make historical films. It feels very high-end."
Yes, both of them are scumbags who show their timidity when it comes to professional knowledge.
In fact, Shi Xiaolong is a bit too self-deprecating. His knowledge level is currently considered upper-middle class in the entertainment industry.
Liu Qianqian's historical readings over the years are not in vain. In fact, they are already very good now.
When it comes to some historical stories that are a bit unfamiliar, they can all be explained clearly.
I was reading that online two days ago. The so-called "most awesome history teacher in history" (surnamed Yuan) was able to pick out some obvious problems when he taught history.
This level is far beyond that of some real poor artists.
Never underestimate the knowledge and ability of people in the entertainment industry.
Chen Linfeng changed his perspective and gave him reassurance.
"Do you know about the project "Tongtian Empire"?"
"Director Xu Ke, that new project of Huayi?"
"Yes," Chen Linfeng said, "This film is said to be the story of Dee Renjie, but in fact, the positioning of Dali Temple in the film is similar to the six doors and bad people mentioned before.
It's just that "Tongtian Empire" focuses more on court disputes. You can move the perspective downwards and just shoot a police story. I think this will be more popular. ”
Chen Linfeng was categorical, "The most important thing is that the special effects requirements are not high and the cost is low."
"Is that so?" Shi Xiaolong thought for a moment, "If you say this, I feel confident."
After talking about this topic, Shi Xiaolong took the opportunity to care about his younger brother's personal problems.
"When are you two going to get married?"
Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian had discussed this issue long ago, and now they said calmly,
"Probably after this next movie."
Shi Xiaolong wondered, "What does it have to do with this movie?"
"In the film, Sissi plays a female student. If she is married in reality, it may make the audience laugh.
Although the two of us are planning to receive the certificate in a low-key manner, and just have two or three tables set up with relatives and friends, I think we can’t hide it, and it will definitely spread, so..."
Chen Linfeng spread his hands and expressed his helplessness.
"He's a student again. The movie "The Ugly Duckling Can Turn into a Swan" that Sissi filmed last year seems to be a student too." Shi Xiaolong looked at Liu Qianqian strangely.
"She only has these two years, and it will be difficult for her to play the role of a student again in the future." Chen Linfeng pointed out.
"Chen Lin Feng!" Liu Qianqian gritted her teeth and said, "What do you mean by that? You are starting to think I am getting older, right?"
"How can I not? This is not all true."
"The truth cannot be said. You have to remember that I am only a few months older than you. We are actually the same age."
"Okay, listen to you."
Shi Xiaolong watched the two bickering and felt a little uncomfortable with his mouth full of dog food, so he simply picked up the remote control to change the channel.
The rerun of "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" by Central Plains Station happened to show Li Shimin and Guanyin maiden being in harmony.
Continue to change.
Blue Whale Channel is playing "Star You", and Professor Chen and An Qian are flirting.
Blanch!
Are you going to commit dog food today?
Fortunately, not long after this embarrassing moment, Chen's father and Chen's mother arrived together.
"You are so glorious. We both have to come to see you." Wang Yanping joked.
"I can't help it. I don't dare to go out now. There are all reporters outside."
This is not a lie. Chen Linfeng was hiding at home with the intention of guarding against reporters.
"Besides, it's normal for you two elders to come and stay with me for a while. Let me respect you too."
"To put it lightly, when the time comes, will you serve me, or shall I serve you?"
Ah this.
After all, Chen Linfeng was not thick-skinned enough to tell lies.
Chen Shantong did not participate in the bickering between mother and son, but took the lead in the study.
I stared at the two extra little golden figures for a long time, and played with them carefully for a while.
"There is also an award for the Best Foreign Language Film. It should be given to the company." Shi Xiaolong looked on with envy.
This cabinet full of trophies is really spectacular.
Chen Linfeng also came over, "Well, that one is in the company. After all, that one belongs to the group award. It's not appropriate to put it here."
"The Palme d'Or is there too?" Chen Shantong asked.
"Yes, the truth is the same."
"It's a pity. They look better together."
After carefully admiring his son's little golden man, Chen Shantong sat back in the living room with satisfaction.
