The bard joins the entertainment industry
Chapter 398 Initial D (Additional update: 1530)
After the film was screened, Chen Shuo and others quietly came to the screen to prepare for the audience's "trial."
Sometimes the media, film producers and audiences have different concerns.
What the media values is whether there are news breaking points. Even if the film is not good, as long as it can bring sales to its own newspapers and magazines, it is worth reporting.
What film producers value is whether they can attract the attention of their own people. Big directors, big stars, and big productions can always attract more people's attention.
The audience only cares about whether you look good or not.
When the lights came on, the entire audience stood and applauded as they looked at the creative team standing in front.
Hearing the warm applause, Chen Shuo and others were so happy and excited that they bowed to express their thanks.
The applause lasted for half an hour before gradually stopping.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the audience, Zhang Yimou was so excited that he was speechless several times while holding the microphone.
It was really not easy to make this film. The script was changed from beginning to end, and it was still changing until the moment before it was finalized.
The sea of flowers that I had placed so much hope in almost turned into grass. Later, I tried my best to repair it and it became such a small patch. After only filming a few scenes, it was frozen to death by heavy snow. In the end, I had to change the scene to snow.
Mei Yanfang, who was full of cooperation, first revealed that she was suffering from cancer before filming started. Later, she delayed for a long time before dragging her illness to film. She passed away not long after the filming was completed.
After compiling his emotions, he began to speak, first expressing his sincere gratitude to Mei Yanfang.
Thanks to her for enduring the pain and coming to shoot, this film was created.
Without the character of the eldest sister, the entire film would be too dull.
Secondly, I would like to thank all the creative staff for their hard work...
Next, Liu Dehua, Chen Shuo and others spoke in turn to explain their thoughts.
After accepting questions from the audience and answering some of their doubts, the premiere officially ended.
After the premiere, the organizers of the conference arranged a cocktail party, and Chen Shuo and others went directly from the screening room to the banquet room.
There were not many real guests at the cocktail party, but there were quite a few people serving the banquet.
In addition to real service staff, there are also many models, directors, actors from various countries, etc.
It is not only a celebration for the crew of "House of Flying Daggers", but it is also a platform for everyone to cooperate.
Many investors and film producers have their own purposes.
As soon as Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping, and Jiang Zhiqiang appeared with Chen Shuo and others, everyone applauded.
After Zhang Yimou made a simple opening statement, the entire dinner officially began.
The premiere started at 10:30, and it was already 0:30 in the morning when the screening ended. After communicating with the audience for a while, it was already past 1 in the morning when the banquet officially started.
Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei had dinner at around seven o'clock in the afternoon, and they were a little hungry at this time.
After everyone was free to move around, he took Liu Yifei and went straight to the food on the table.
It's just that the entire dinner was headed towards them, and they were stopped before they even took two steps.
"Hello, Mr. Chen Shuo and Ms. Liu Yifei, your performance in the film is really outstanding."
Looking at this middle-aged foreigner in a suit and leather tie, Chen Shuo and the other two had to stop and smile.
Through chatting, Chen Shuo learned that this was a French investor who had invested in many works.
However, the two of them had never heard of either of them, but that didn't stop them from nodding their heads to show respect.
Perhaps he also knew that there were many people waiting behind him, chatted for a few words, left a business card and then left politely.
Then came the second and third ones, with all kinds of identities.
From investors, producers, directors, screenwriters, etc., they all take turns.
There were even many actors and models who came over to chat, but they didn't extend invitations to the two of them, but wanted to look familiar in front of them so that they could have a chance when they met in the future.
At this point, Chen Shuo has a thorough understanding of Zhang Yimou's abilities and the impact that starring in Zhang Yimou's works can have.
The distance from the reception desk to the dining table was only twenty meters, and Chen Shuo and the two walked for about half an hour.
What he got in exchange was a stack of business cards in Huang Ying's hand.
Chen Shuo responded sincerely to everyone who came to talk, without making promises or rejecting.
Just leave the other party's contact information, or give your own contact information.
Even actors and models from unknown countries.
These things may never be used in a lifetime, but you never know when a certain contact method will come into play.
When the two of them arrived at the dining table to eat, there were far fewer people coming forward.
Chen Shuo inserted a piece of cake into his mouth with a fork, swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls, and said, "It seems that Director Zhang can only drink some wine tonight."
After taking a sip of her drink, Liu Yifei turned around and looked at Zhang Yimou, who was still surrounded by many people. She nodded and said, "I wonder if he is hungry?"
"Why does it take about an hour before he can eat?"
However, there were not many people in the entire venue who came to eat, so it was quite attractive for the two of them to eat and drink around the dining table.
No, Liu Dehua just finished chatting with Quentin, said a few words to Lin Jianle, and then waved to Chen Shuo.
Seeing this, Chen Shuo finished the food on the plate in two gulps, drank some water to rinse his mouth, put down the plate and said, "Brother Hua is looking for me, Sister Ying, follow Qian Qian."
"Okay." Huang Ying nodded.
"Don't worry, I can handle it." Liu Yifei also nodded.
Chen Shuo brought a glass of wine to Liu Dehua, raised his glass and said, "Brother Hua!"
"Come on, Chen Shuo." Liu Dehua pulled Chen Shuo to his side, pointed at Lin Jianle and said, "This is the boss of Uniasia, Mr. Lin Jianle."
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I've heard of you for a long time." Chen Shuo raised his glass and saluted him.
Lin Jianle also touched him respectfully, took a sip, and laughed and said: "Your name is also very popular now. Last year, I heard that there was a very popular boy in the mainland.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the new year begins today, it will become popular. "
"Why, Mr. Lin is so ridiculous. No matter how popular we are, we still have to rely on Mr. Lin to support us?"
"You are so humble, handsome. If I could praise someone like you, I would laugh out of my dreams."
Chen Shuo did not follow his words, but just said: "There are many talents under Mr. Lin's command, and it will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future."
Liu Dehua laughed and said, "How about it, Mr. Lin? My little brother is pretty good, isn't he? Not only can he act and sing, but he can also speak nicely."
Lin Jianle nodded and said: "Indeed, young people can be expected."
Liu Dehua said to Chen Shuo again: "In the morning, I should say it was yesterday morning. What I told you is that Mr. Lin wants to ask you to play a role."
"Thank you Mr. Lin for your favor and willingness to give me this opportunity." Upon hearing this, Chen Shuo thanked him again.
"Our drama pays more attention to stunts. With your acting skills in "House of Flying Daggers", there is no problem in portraying this character."
Lin Jianle was very satisfied with Chen Shuo's attitude, although the reason why he sought Chen Shuo was more because of his reputation for selling tens of millions of dollars.
As news of Chen Shuo's participation in the Cannes Film Festival spread back to China, his album sales skyrocketed, and they have officially exceeded the 10 million mark in the past two days.
Even the sales of his first album have soared, and are now approaching six million.
Young people are always frivolous, but it is rare to see someone like Chen Shuo Huocheng who is sober and polite in the entertainment industry.
After Chen Shuo heard what he said, he couldn't help but ask: "Can Mr. Lin talk about this project? What kind of role will I play?"
After Lin Jianle heard what he said, he couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Andy Lau and said, "What? Didn't Andy tell you?"
"Brother Hua mentioned it during dinner yesterday morning. I was very busy after that and never had time to say it."
Lin Jianle looked Chen Shuo up and down and asked, "You didn't know anything, so you just agreed? Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out?"
Chen Shuo smiled and said: "Isn't Brother Hua here? If Brother Hua really sells me, then I will help him count the money with a smile."
Liu Dehua was moved for a moment, hugged his shoulder and patted him.
Lin Jianle couldn't help but sigh when he saw Chen Shuo's sincere and serious expression.
No matter how much truth he said, the trust he expressed alone was enough to move people's hearts.
Didn’t you see that Liu Dehua already regards him as a relative?
Even he couldn't help but be infected by Chen Shuo's sincerity and trust.
Apart from anything else, people who are kind and righteous will also work hard and give their best.
Lin Jianle took the initiative to raise his glass and said seriously: "Come on, although you don't know the specific information yet, today we will jointly wish this film a big hit and wish you can win an award for this role."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin. I wish our film will be a hit and we will be famous!" Chen Shuo raised his glass and touched it to him.
Andy Lau also raised his glass and said, "I wish our film will be a big hit and we will be famous!"
Lin Jianle couldn't help but look at Liu Dehua, and immediately felt happy when he saw his serious look.
He was originally offered the role in this film, but he rejected it and recommended Chen Shuo.
Although Lin Jianle regretted that it was Chen Shuo, a popular newcomer, he was still quite satisfied.
Unexpectedly, it was a double happiness today. Chen Shuo was invited, and Andy Lau actually agreed to star in it.
"cheers!!!"
With a "ding" sound, the three of them drank it all.
Putting down his wine glass, Lin Jianle asked Chen Shuo: "A Shuo, have you seen "Initial D"?"
"What is this? I've never seen it." Chen Shuo shook his head in confusion.
"This is a comic from Japan. The content is about racing. The work we are about to shoot is based on this comic."
Lin Jianle explained it, and then Chen Shuo understood some of the inside story.
It turns out that with the success of "Infernal Affairs", which brought Huanya fame and fortune, they wanted to continue their efforts and invite the original team to create a masterpiece again.
Because "The Fast and the Furious" in the United States did well at the box office, they thought about making a movie about racing.
You know, in terms of special effects of speeding cars, Hong Kong may not necessarily lose to the United States.
Therefore, they also thought about inviting the original cast of "Infernal Affairs" to make a film.
In order to increase the box office, they did not choose an original version, but planned to adapt the Japanese "Initial D". At least with the bonus of the original work, it can collect a lot of box office in Japan.
It's just a good idea, but Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua and others rejected the project after seeing it.
First of all, none of them are stunt actors, so they may not be able to handle such a stunt film.
Secondly, they think that this film is more about the special effects and that it has no connotation, so they don't like this film.
In desperation, they had no choice but to do the next best thing, first looking for Cheng Guanxi and Yu Wenle, who also starred in the "Infernal Affairs" series.
Coincidentally, the two of them played the roles of Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei in their youth, and they became somewhat famous because of this.
Later, Andy Lau recommended Chen Shuo to Lin Jianle, and producer Xu Ke recommended Zhou Jielun.
That's why this invitation came about.
"Then what role am I going to play?" Chen Shuo asked.
Lin Jianle said simply and neatly: "The male protagonist, Fujiwara Takumi."
Chen Shuo nodded and asked, "Is the script ready? When will it start filming?"
Lin Jianle said: "The script is being adapted, but most of it has been completed. It is expected to start filming in July. If there are no accidents, the filming will be completed in about two months.
After you go back, you can read the comics and get an impression of the characters. Our adaptation is just to adapt the plot of the story and not make any changes to the shaping of the characters' personalities. "
"Okay, I'll take a look when I get back."
"Also, can Ashuo drive?"
"I have a driver's license and have never driven a racing car, but I will practice in advance."
"It doesn't matter, we will go to Japan for training before filming starts. By then you will be familiar with how the driver operates the car.
Even if we are filming in real life, we will not really drive the car to more than 100 miles. A truly professional shot will naturally be completed by a stuntman. "
After chatting for a while, they verbally decided that Chen Shuo would play Fujiwara Takumi and Liu Dehua would play Takumi’s father, Fujiwara Bunta. They planned to go to Hong Kong to meet director Liu Weiqiang after Cannes was over.
Lin Jianle then took Chen Shuo to find Xu Ke and his wife. After an introduction, he said: "The producer of our film is Xu Sheng. You can talk more. I believe there will be a lot of topics."
Looking at the gray-haired genius director Xu Ke, Chen Shuo couldn't help but feel a little excited.
When it comes to directors in Xiangjiang, one cannot avoid Xu Ke, who is known as "Old Monster Xu".
It can be said that he single-handedly created Jet Li today.
From the "Once Upon a Time" series to the "Swordsman" series, it directly laid the foundation for Jet Li's "Kung Fu Emperor".
It was with the film "Dark Man" that he opened up the North American market and allowed him to go global.
In addition, although the box office of "New Shushan Swordsman", "Green Snake", "Shushan Biography" and other works were not ideal, they all demonstrated his unconstrained creativity.
The taste of the classic fairy tale is vividly captured.
If "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is compared with these three works of his, there is only one word "love" that can be said.
And he really showed the "immortal" and "xiaxia" vividly.
After Lin Jianle left, Chen Shuo's first words were: "Director Xu, I really like your films "The New Shushan Swordsman" and "The Legend of Shushan"."
