Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 384 Public Relations Started
It goes without saying that the opening of "Infinite World" is the "Resident Evil" world.

Therefore, Chen Linfeng saw Milla Jovovich again to make a guest appearance.

Actually, if we call it a guest appearance, strictly speaking, the role is almost the same as that of a major character or a minor supporting role.

It costs money for Bruckheimer to invite people.

For these actors, although they don't have many roles, their presence is quite strong.

As important characters and even protagonists of "Resident Evil", the Russo brothers gave them a lot of shots.

This is part of the sentiment.

There is one more thing I have to mention about filming.

The crew invited Yuan Heping's team to serve as action directors.

According to the plot, the Zhongzhou team in the biochemical world is basically composed of ordinary people, and Zhang Jie is also pretending.

So their movements cannot be too smooth.

Later, it will gradually improve as the attributes grow.

How to demonstrate this improvement and let the audience see it depends a lot on the level of the action director.

Of course, special effects are also key.

Chen Linfeng, together with the screenwriter and the Russo brothers, specifically differentiated the special effects for the different levels of force.

In addition, the expressiveness will also be matched with the efforts of the blasting team and the props team.

It is impossible for the special effects to explode for a long time while the surrounding environment remains unchanged.

Moreover, this expressiveness also changes as the level increases.

The further you go, the more exaggerated the expression will be.

The entire film would be great if it could clearly describe the original setting through special effects and actions.

Like The Lord of the Rings, it gives people the feeling that this is the real world.

Coupled with the popularity of the original film, the mission world involves the feelings of movie fans.

There is no need to worry about the movie being unpopular.

Starting from November, Chen Linfeng concentrated on filming on the crew.

At the same time, because of the relaxed schedule in Hollywood, he would write something after filming.

I haven’t published any books this year, and it looks like I’m going to stop publishing soon.

At least to give book fans some hope, he has promised to release a new book in the first half of next year.

I have already considered how to fill the gaps in Destiny.

Today, I can finally start writing.

When writing the second book, Chen Linfeng left some foreshadowing.

The evil of this world possesses evil people all over the world, called the Psychic Faction, who are going to engage in a long battle with the magician camp.

In this case, the protagonist of the previous game has become a big shot and is not suitable to be the protagonist of the third part.

Chen Linfeng re-created a protagonist and used him as the main perspective to unfold the story.

The tone of "Fate" has been set long ago. These masters are just tools, and the heroic spirits who reappear in history are the protagonists that readers like to read.

When it comes to people's favorite historical and mythological figures.

None other than Erlang Shen and the Monkey King.

Chen Linfeng borrowed the content settings of some later online novels that are similar to the Eastern Heroic Mythology.

It also stitched together the confrontation between the major camps and the setting of the protagonist in "Apocalypse Forecast".

Chen Linfeng's current suturing skills have already been tested by audiences at home and abroad.

He had been thinking about this story for at least half a year, and now it was not difficult at all to write it.

Occasionally on weekends, I would go play with Liu Xixi, or sometimes she would come over.

Life is quite fulfilling.

In the middle of the month, Sister Mei reported to Chen Linfeng the latest sales of the novel "Sherlock Holmes".

Stimulated by the TV series, sales instantly soared to millions per month and lasted for three consecutive months before falling back last month.

But it is still much higher than in the past.

Since the TV series only contains the content of the first novel, many people who want to read the subsequent plot after watching the TV series buy the novel.

As fans, they usually buy the whole set, which leads to a surge in overall sales.

Chen Linfeng was thinking that the third novel could be published along with the second season of the TV series, and then readers who couldn't resist would buy the novel to read.

Capitalists win big!
……

The Golden Horse Awards ceremony will be held in Taiwan on the 28th of this month.

Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian didn't go because they were filming.

However, he and Zhang Yimou shot the film "Sunset" together, so his absence would not be considered a neglect by the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee.

On this night, "Sunset" became the biggest winner.

"Sunset", which had previously received 8 nominations, won 5 major awards including Best Film, Director, Actress, Screenplay, and Art.

Chen Linfeng suspected that if he hadn't won so many major awards, he would have won the Best Actor award as well.

Li Binbin from "The Whisper of the Wind" and Lü Zhong from "Sunset" won the Best Actress award together.

Zhou Xun still became the miserable person.

The chain reaction caused by this was that Zhang Jiahui was unable to win the Golden Horse Best Actor award together with Huang Bo like in his previous life.

The domestic media had already spread the news, and everyone knew that directors Chen and Zhang were going to jointly compete for an Oscar.

After the Golden Horse Awards, such calls and expectations became even stronger.

It’s December now and award season has arrived.

In fact, the so-called awards season mainly refers to various awards such as the precursor and weather vane of the Oscars.

Most of these awards are given out in December and January.

So these two months are generally called the awards season.

For this purpose, Zhang Yimou rushed to Hollywood.

His "Three Guns" had already been filmed a long time ago. Chen Linfeng had seen the unfinished post-production editing version and could only say that it was neither good nor bad.

The original work itself is not particularly good, after all, it is the director's debut.

After Zhang Yimou's adaptation, the rhythm problem still exists.

It just feels a little more serious without the Errenzhuan duo.

The black humor is there, but unfortunately the key problem - it's not good to watch - has not been solved. All in all, it shouldn't be Zhang's worst series.

With his current reputation being even more exaggerated than in his previous life, the audience will still have confidence in him unless he fails too badly.

Lao Zhang, wait for me to crush you head-on.

Zhang Yimou had no idea that the other party had bad intentions in his mind.

He was in high spirits and no longer looked sad, but was smiling all day long.

Zhang Weiping came with him.

He always has a sour face.

This time, for some reason, she even smiled at him from time to time.

This made Chen Linfeng feel a chill down his spine.

In addition, You Benchang and Lu Zhong have also arrived. They are the protagonists of this prize-winning competition.

In fact, he won the award better than Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou.

Chen Linfeng is the one who is a complete drag, he is too young.

At the Cannes Film Festival, he won the Palme d'Or despite being overshadowed by Zhang Yimou.

This time it's quite bad.

After all, he is no longer an unknown person.

During this time in Hollywood, whenever I attended a cocktail party, there would always be people coming up to me and showing me their courtesy.

Newspapers often compare him with some big Hollywood directors.

On December 12, the 13th Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards ceremony was held first.

This is one of the four major Oscars.

Because they were very close, Chen Linfeng, Zhang Yimou, You Benchang and others went to participate together.

As expected, "The Hurt Locker" took the top spot and won the Best Picture and Best Director awards.

"Sunset" only won the Best Screenplay award, but the good thing was that Ms. Lu Zhong won the Best Actress award.

Also, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association will rank a second place when judging the awards.

When "The Hurt Locker" wins an award, "Sunset" comes in second, which is somewhat good news.

This shows that other competitors are not very strong.

"The Hurt Locker" can be considered as a production of Chen Linfeng's company to some extent, so winning the award is also good for him.

That was all Chen Linfeng could think of.

The day after the awards ceremony, the Golden Globe Awards shortlist was announced.

"Sunset" leads the nomination list with five nominations including Best Feature Film, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay.

Compared to "The Hurt Locker", "Sunset" has an advantage in the nominations for male and female leading actors.

After all, the performances of the two teachers were really good, and the plot of "Sunset" itself also highlighted the actors' acting skills.

In addition, "Avatar" was also included in the nomination list.

The film hasn't been released yet, but it's clear that in some ways, it's too good.

It is impossible for the Golden Globe Awards organizers to ignore the truck driver.

In the evening, Liu Qianqian called to congratulate him.

Chen Linfeng was not very happy.

"What's wrong? You've been nominated and won an award, so you're not happy?"

Chen Linfeng said, "I'm wondering if I should still strive for the Best Director Award."

Liu Qianqian asked curiously, "Why not try harder? It's not like we don't have a chance to win an award. We've even won the Palme d'Or.

It was you who told me that the Oscars are no better than the Palme d’Or.”

“That being said, the key point is that in the past, there has never been a Best Foreign Language Film that also won the Best Director award. Breaking through history itself is difficult.

It would be a waste if the PR fee was completely wasted, but there is hope that I can win the Lead Actor Award, so if I invest in this area, the results may be greater.”

It's not that he is a coward, but it is indeed too difficult to win the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director award. It has never happened before.

If an Oscar-winning actor or actress is born, it will be a historic breakthrough.

It's not much worse than the Best Director award that Li An has already won.

"You can't say that. We have to strive for it." Liu Qianqian was dissatisfied. In her opinion, Xiaofeng deserved any award.

Moreover, the quality of "Sunset" is so high that in the past six months, many foreign journalists and media have praised the film to the sky.

It is called one of the best movies of the decade and a classic work that ended the first decade of the new century.

Liu Qianqian always likes to collect these contents, and she agrees with the media's comments.

"Yeah, it's not certain yet. We've just passed one outpost. Let's wait and see." Chen Linfeng was still a little greedy for fame.

On the 15th, the New York Film Critics Circle Awards were presented.

Chen Linfeng did not go because he lived far away and had to film a movie, so he asked Zhang Yimou to lead the group on his behalf.

As a result, there was no such thing as receiving the award on behalf of others. The awards were almost identical to those in Los Angeles.

The Best Picture and Best Director awards went to "The Hurt Locker".

Mr. You Benchang won the Best Actor award and was also given the Best Cinematography award.

As expected, the Best Foreign Language Film award went to "Sunset".

Its popularity is still second only to "The Hurt Locker".

Chen Linfeng had a premonition, but he didn't take it seriously.

But the rest of the team was a little unhappy. In their opinion, "The Hurt Locker" was not as good as "Sunset".

Forget about the Best Picture, but at least give him a Best Director award.

I was outshined twice in a row in the award ceremony and I felt like my luck had been cut off.

As for the media, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times gave different statements.

One said that given the quality of "Sunset", it should have been the biggest winner, and "The Hurt Locker" should not be stronger than it.

Another explanation is from a political perspective. "The Hurt Locker" is a work that praises Emilian soldiers and describes their dedication to duty, loyalty, friendship and unity.

It has important significance for contemporary society and should be commended.

This is a bit too much. I don't know if this is a spoof on "The Hurt Locker" or if it's serious.
