The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 165 The Film Festival Approaches

The crew of "Detective Chinatown 2" has already prepared everything.

Hong Chen has also been busy discussing filming matters with Yan Chi.

Yan Chi made a big deal this time. After all, he has an investment of [-] million yuan, so he has a lot of money.

The shooting location is set in New York, USA.

This is much more costly than shooting in Thailand. Several shots were shot in this well-known scenic spot for the final effect of the movie.

Afterwards, after the actors were assembled and the contract was signed with the crew, the group held a party in Kyoto and then went straight to New York.

Here I also want to mention Ge Chen's work ability, she also paid attention to that casting.After the two roles were confirmed, Ge Chen went directly to them to discuss the signing of the contract.

Liu Xiaoyu said that she thought about it, because she was a model and her own resources are not bad.

Shang Yuyan, who plays kiko, directly agreed and signed a contract with the studio, becoming the second artist signed by the studio after Lu Jia.

They are all young and energetic, and they have obvious personal styles, are highly recognizable, are easy to be liked by the audience, and are relatively easy to hold.

Someone has already booked a hotel in New York for the production staff, and the filming time is set to be two and a half months, because the cost in New York is really too high, so the task is relatively heavy.

The shooting time of "Detective Chinatown 2" in the parallel world is 2 months and 20 days, so Yan Chi's prediction is not too problematic.

Before leaving, the shooting team set off early to see the venue and prepare for the shooting.

Two days later, after all the actors joined the crew, the crew chartered a passenger plane to pick up the actors across the ocean and arrived in New York.

When they got off the plane and walked out of the airport, it was a little deserted outside.

After all, they may be very popular in China, but they still haven't gone abroad.

Only occasionally one or two Chinese Americans saw them and took out their mobile phones to take pictures with surprise.

As a result, Hong Chen became more determined to become an international movie star.

It can be compared to Brother Yuanlong, one of the few international movie stars in China.

In the years when Yuanlong became famous, it was indeed popular all over the world.

Regardless of the slightly sluggish style and quality of his works in recent years, he is still the most influential actor in China.

It can be seen from some interview programs that when he went to Japan next door, the whole country welcomed him, and the fans who picked him up at the time blocked the road.

When he went to the cold country, all the stars were his fans.For example, in several episodes of the famous variety show Running Man, he made a cameo appearance. When he appeared, those big-name movie stars were all shocked, and they bowed down to greet him politely.

It is the same in the United States, he is one of the big Hollywood movie stars, very popular.

Among the Oscars, there is a highest honor called the Lifetime Achievement Award.

This award is to reward those who have made outstanding contributions to the film industry and represents a supreme honor.Only epoch-making artists can win this award

It is very difficult for Asians to win prizes among them.Even today, only four Asians have won this award.

India, Satitajit Ray, a master of realism films in India, and the initiator of the New Film Movement in India, won this honor in 1992.

Japan, Akira Kurosawa.The great director is the most colorful stroke in the history of Japanese film. Received the honor in 1990 and died 8 years later.

Japan, Hayao Miyazaki.Manga master, each work will be called as a series of living years, and won the award in 2014.

Then there is Huaxia's Yuanlong, who won the award in 2015.He is the first Chinese to receive this honor, and he is also the youngest actor ever awarded this award.

This is the supreme glory. He let the world see Chinese Kungfu, and became the second existence that can be used as a "Chinese label" after Bruce Lee.

And this goal was also what Hong Chen had always wanted to achieve.

Compared with now, few people on the streets of New York know him.

His movies are relatively rare.Even if it went out, it didn't cause much repercussions.

For example, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has a good reputation abroad, but few people can remember him, because the audience is more thinking about the plot and will not become a fan of one of the actors.

"Li Bai" is also good, but it is too niche, and only some people who are interested in Chinese culture have read it.

He still has a long way to go to achieve his goal of becoming a global actor, but he is very confident.

The crew sent a bus to pick up the actors and settle in the hotel, and then started to prepare for the shooting.

At the same time, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is also in full swing.

Because of the release of "The Scorching Sun", this movie has been favored by all parties. There is no doubt that this situation has also pushed Hong Chen to the forefront.

If you want to climb to the top of the entertainment industry, you will naturally have to go through many storms.

If you can get through it, your career will be more stable.

For example, Brother Hu, who disappeared after a car accident, is now reborn from Nirvana and is known as the No. [-] film and television brother, with a very high popularity.

If you can't make it through, you will miss the entertainment circle.

For example, Fan Bingbing, although it has been popular for many years, eventually fell out of people's sight because of tax evasion.

This film festival is a test for Hong Chen.

Zhuo Wei, the leader of the well-known paparazzi team in China.

At this moment, Zhuo Wei was sitting in a box in a hotel, looking at the two people in front of him contentedly.

These two people, one is the middle-aged actor Zhu Xiu, who often makes some realistic movies, taking the literary route.The other is his agent.

It stands to reason that the people from the entertainment company hated these paparazzi, but at this moment, the three of them were sitting together, Zhuo Wei didn't panic at all.

"Have you considered it clearly? 1000 million, no bargaining, the photos just now are just the beginning, and we still have a lot of solid evidence later." Zhuo Wei asked complacently.

Zhu Xiu was silent.

The photo that Zhuo Wei showed him just now was the intimate photo of Hong Chen and Yan Yileng. Both of them lived in the villa area of ​​Chaoyang District, so they were very close to each other. Occasionally walking together was obviously photographed by paparazzi.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing has nothing to do with Zhu Xiu, but the situation is different now, because Zhu Xiu was also nominated for the Best Actor nomination for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival for his film "Swordsman".

In other words, Zhu Xiu is also a strong contender for Best Actor.

But judging from the current situation, Hong Chen is very likely to win the award.

At this time, if Hong Chen is exposed to some pornographic news, and then the paparazzi team adds fuel to it, it will definitely have a great impact on his reputation.

After all, when Hong Chen was filming, he would inevitably have contact with other actresses. As long as such photos and Yan Yilen's photos are released, and he makes up a few names, there are many people who eat melons in the entertainment industry.

The image of Hong Chen stepping on two boats is perfect and he can't get away.

Although this matter will definitely be clarified soon, but it happened at the critical moment of the film festival. Whether an artist with bad conduct can be the best actor is naturally debatable.

Therefore, what Zhuo Wei sold was this scandal.

"Think carefully. There are only a few people competing for Best Actor this year. Apart from Hong Chen, you are the most likely. Do you want to buy it or not?" Zhuo Wei said again as if he had the chance to win.

"If you don't buy it, I'll sell it to Times Media. Let alone 1000 million, they would be willing to get rid of the rumors about Huadan's scandal, even if it's 3000 million."

Zhuo Wei threatened again.

In fact, Times Media didn't panic about this kind of thing at all, because their public relations ability is very strong, and this little gossip can help them stir up popularity, so they don't care.

Zhuo Wei also knew this, so he came to Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu hesitated for a long time. The actor's temptation to him was too great, and 1000 million was nothing to him.

"Okay, I'll buy it." Zhu Xiu finally made up his mind.

"Very good, happy cooperation." Zhuo Wei also laughed.

"Two days before the film festival, you just wait and see the excitement."
