The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 398 Initial D (addition: 1530)

After the film was shown, Chen Shuo and others quietly came to the screen to accept the audience's "trial".

Sometimes the media, filmmakers and audiences don't pay attention to the same things.

What the media pays attention to is whether there is a breaking point in the news. 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 filmmakers value is whether they can attract the attention of their own citizens. Big directors, big stars, and big productions can always attract more people's attention.

And the audience only cares about whether you look good or not.

When the lights came on, looking at the main creative team standing in front, the audience stood up and applauded.

Hearing the warm applause, Chen Shuo and others were overjoyed and excited, and bowed to thank them again and again.

The applause lasted for half an hour before it gradually stopped.

Feeling the enthusiasm of the audience, Zhang Yimou was so excited that he held the microphone several times and was speechless.

It was really not easy to make this film. The script was changed from the beginning to the end, and it was still being changed until the moment before it was finalized.

The sea of ​​flowers that I had hoped for almost turned into a meadow. Later, I tried my best to remedy it and it became such a small piece. After only a few scenes were shot, it was frozen to death by the heavy snow again, and finally I had to change the snow scene.

Mei Yanfang, who was full of cooperation, first revealed that she was suffering from cancer before the filming started, and after a long delay, she dragged her sick body into filming, and passed away not long after the filming was completed.

After sorting out his emotions, he began to speak. First, he expressed his sincere thanks to Mei Yanfang.

Thanks to her who endured the pain and came to shoot, which made this film possible.

Without the character of the eldest sister, the whole film would lose too much color.

Secondly, I would like to thank the entire creative staff for their hard work...

Next, Liu Dehua, Chen Shuo and others spoke in turn, explaining their feelings.

After accepting questions from the audience and answering some of their doubts, the premiere officially ended.

After the premiere, the conference organizer arranged a reception, and Chen Shuo and others turned directly from the screening room to the banquet hall.

There were not many real guests at the reception, but there were quite a few people serving the banquet.

In addition to the real service staff, there are also many models, directors from various countries, actors and so on.

It is not only to celebrate the success of the crew of "House of Flying Daggers", but also to provide a platform for everyone to cooperate.

Many investors and filmmakers have their own goals.

Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping, and Jiang Zhiqiang, together with Chen Shuo and others, attracted applause as soon as they appeared.

After Zhang Yimou made a simple opening remark, the whole dinner officially began.

The premiere started at 10:30, and it was already [-]:[-] in the morning after the screening ended. After communicating with the audience for a while, it was already past [-]:[-] in the morning when the banquet officially started.

Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei had dinner around [-]:[-] p.m., and they were a little hungry at this point.

After everyone was free to move around, he dragged Liu Yifei straight to the food on the table.

It's just that the whole dinner party came rushing towards them, and the two of them were stopped before taking two steps.

"Hello, Mr. Chen Shuo and Ms. Liu Yifei, your performance in the film is really impressive."

Looking at the middle-aged foreigner in suit and leather shoes, Chen Shuo and the two had no choice but to stop and smile.

Through chatting, Chen Shuo knew that this was a French investor who had invested in many works.

However, the two of them have never heard of either, but it does not prevent them from nodding their heads again and again to show their respect.

Perhaps he also knew that many people were waiting behind, chatted for a while, left a business card, and then left politely.

Immediately after that is the second, and the third, there are all kinds of identities.

From investors, producers, directors, screenwriters, etc., take turns.

There were even quite a few actors and models who came to chat, but they didn't invite the two of them, but they wanted to get acquainted in front of the two of them, so that they would have a chance when they met in the future.

So far, Chen Shuo has a thorough understanding of Zhang Yimou's ability and the impact he can bring after appearing in Zhang Yimou's works.

The distance from the reception desk to the dining table was only 20 meters, and the two of them walked for about half an hour.

What they got in exchange was a stack of business cards in Huang Ying's hand.

For all the people who came to talk, Chen Shuo responded sincerely, neither making promises nor refusing.

Just leave the contact information of the other party, or give your own contact information.

Even actors and models from unknown countries.

These things may not be used in a lifetime, but at some point, a certain contact method will play a role.

When the two arrived at the dining table to eat, there were far fewer people coming forward.

Chen Shuo put 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."

Liu Yifei, who took a sip of her drink, turned her head to look, and Zhang Yimou, who was still surrounded by many people, nodded and said, "I don't know if he's hungry or not?"

"It will take about an hour for him to eat."

However, in the entire venue, not many people came here to eat, so it is quite attractive for two people to eat and drink around the dining table.

No, Liu Dehua just finished chatting with Quentin, said a few words to Lin Jianle, and waved to Chen Shuo.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo finished the plate in two or three gulps, drank some water to rinse his mouth, put down the plate and said, "Brother Hua is looking for me, sister Ying, follow Qianqian."

"Okay." Huang Ying nodded.

"Don't worry, I can handle it." Liu Yifei also nodded.

Chen Shuo came to Andy Lau with a glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "Brother Hua!"

"Come on, Chen Shuo." Liu Dehua pulled Chen Shuo to his side, pointed to Lin Jianle and said, "This is the boss of Uniasia, Mr. Lin Jianle Lin."

"Mr. Lin, I've heard you famous for a long time." Chen Shuo toasted him.

Lin Jianle also touched him very face-saving, took a sip, laughed and said: "Your name is also very popular now, last year I heard that there was a very popular boy in the Mainland.

I didn't expect that as soon as the new year started today, it would go straight to the sky. "

"Where, Boss Lin is absurdly praised, no matter how popular we are, don't we have to rely on Boss Lin to praise us?"

"Little boy is being modest, if I can win someone like you, I will wake up from my dreams with a smile."

Chen Shuo didn't follow his words, but said: "Boss Lin has a lot of talents under his command, and it will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future."

Liu Dehua laughed and said, "How is it, Mr. Lin? Is my little brother not bad? Not only can he act and sing, he can even speak nicely."

Lin Jianle nodded and said, "Indeed, young people can be expected."

Liu Dehua said to Chen Shuo again: "Morning, it should be said yesterday morning, I told you that Mr. Lin wants to ask you to play a role."

"Thank you for Mr. Lin's favor and willingness to give me this opportunity." Chen Shuo thanked again after hearing this.

"Our show pays more attention to stunts. With your acting skills in "House of Flying Daggers", there is no problem in shaping this character."

Lin Jianle was very satisfied with Chen Shuo's attitude, although the reason why he approached Chen Shuo was more because of his reputation of tens of millions of sales.

As the news of Chen Shuo's participation in the Cannes Film Festival spread back to China, the sales volume of his album skyrocketed. In the past two days, the sales volume of his album has officially exceeded [-] million.

Even the sales of his first album have risen a wave, and now it is approaching 600 million.

Young people are always frivolous, it is rare in the entertainment circle to be sober and polite like Chen Shuohuocheng.

Hearing what he said, Chen Shuo couldn't help asking: "Could Mr. Lin talk about this project? What kind of role do you want me to play?"

Hearing what he said, Lin Jianle couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, looked at Andy Lau and said, "What's the matter? Didn't Andy Hua tell you?"

"Brother Hua just mentioned something during dinner yesterday morning. After that, he was busy and didn't have time to say it."

Lin Jianle looked Chen Shuo up and down, and asked, "You don't know anything, so you just agreed? Are you afraid that I will sell you?"

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 while, hugged his shoulder and patted him.

Seeing Chen Shuo's sincere and serious expression, Lin Jianle couldn't help but feel emotional.

No matter how much of what he said was true, the trust expressed alone was enough to move people's hearts.

Didn't Liu Dehua see him as a relative right now?
Even he couldn't help being infected by Chen Shuo's sincerity and trust.

Among other things, a loving and righteous person will seriously go all out when working.

Lin Jianle took the initiative to raise his glass, and said seriously: "Come on, although you don't know the specific information, but today we will jointly wish this film a big hit, and hope that you will be able to win awards with this role."

"That's a big thank you to Mr. Lin. I wish our film a big hit and a great reputation!" Chen Shuo raised his glass and touched him.

Andy Lau also raised his glass and said, "I wish our film a big hit and a great reputation!"

Lin Jianle couldn't help looking at Andy Lau, seeing his serious look, he was immediately happy.

He was originally asked to act in this film, but he rejected it and recommended Chen Shuo.

Originally replaced by Chen Shuo, a hot newcomer, although Lin Jianle regretted it, he was quite satisfied.

Unexpectedly, today's Double Happiness is coming, since Chen Shuo was invited, Andy Lau also agreed to act in it.

"cheers!!!"

With a sound of "ding", the three of them drank in one gulp.

Putting down his wine glass, Lin Jianle asked Chen Shuo, "A Shuo, have you seen "Initial D"?"

"What is this? I haven't seen it." Chen Shuo shook his head in doubt.

"This is a manga from Dongpu. The content is about racing. The work we are about to shoot is based on this manga."

After Lin Jianle explained, Chen Shuo understood some inside information.

It turned out that with the success of "Infernal Affairs", which brought fame and fortune to Uniasia, they wanted to make persistent efforts and invite the original crew to create another masterpiece.

Because "Fast and Furious" in the United States had a good box office, they thought about making a movie about racing.

You know, Xiangjiang may not necessarily lose to the United States in terms of special effects for speeding cars.

So they also thought about asking the original crew of "Infernal Affairs" to make a movie.

In order to increase the box office, they did not choose the original, but planned to adapt Dongying's "Initial D", at least with the bonus of the original work, it will be able to attract a lot of box office in Dongying.

It's just that the idea is very good, but Liang Chaowei, Andy Lau and others all expressed their rejection after seeing this project.

First of all, none of them came from stunt actors, so they might not be able to handle such a stunt film.

Secondly, they think that this movie is more about special effects, and they don't think it has much connotation, so they don't like this movie.

In desperation, they had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. First, they found 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 Tony Leung when they were young, so they gained some fame.

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 will I play?" Chen Shuo asked.

Lin Jianle said bluntly: "The leading actor, Fujiwara Takumi."

Chen Shuo nodded and asked, "Is the script ready? When will it be turned on?"

Lin Jianle said: "The script is being adapted, but most of it has been completed, and it is expected to start shooting 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 have an impression of the characters. Our adaptation is only to adapt the plot of the story, and the shaping of the characters' personalities will not be changed. "

"Okay, I'll take a look when I get back."

"Also, can Ashuo know how to 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 Dongying for training before the filming starts, and then you can get familiar with how the drivers operate the car.

Even if we are taking real shots, we will not really drive the car to more than 100 miles. Really professional shots will naturally be completed by stuntmen. "

After chatting for a while, it was decided verbally that Chen Shuo would play the role of Fujiwara Takumi, and Andy Lau would play the role of Takumi's father, Fujiwara Bunta. They planned to go to Xiangjiang to meet the director Liu Weiqiang together after Cannes was over.

Lin Jianle 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 chat more, there must be a lot of topics."

Looking at the ghost director Xu Ke with gray hair, Chen Shuo couldn't help feeling a little excited.

If you want to talk about Xiangjiang's director, you can't avoid Xu Ke, who is known as "Old Monster Xu".

It can be said that he single-handedly created Li Lianjie today.

From the "Once Upon a Time" series to the "Swordsman" series, the foundation of Li Lianjie's "Kung Fu Emperor" was directly laid.

With the help of "Black Man", he opened up the North American market and let him go international.

In addition, "New Shushan Swordsman", "Green Snake", "Shushan Biography" and other works, although the box office is not ideal, but they all show his unconstrained creativity.

The taste of the classical fairy is vividly captured.

If we compare "Legend of Sword and Fairy" with his three works, there is only one word "love" that can be said.

And he really showed the "immortal" and "hero" to the fullest.

After Lin Jianle left, Chen Shuo's first words were: "Director Xu, I really like your films "New Shushan Swordsman" and "Shushan Biography"."
