This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 40 Queer Girl
Excellent action scenes are difficult to film.

In addition to requiring higher standards from behind-the-scenes personnel such as directors, cinematographers, and lighting technicians, actors also need to have solid skills and develop a good working relationship with their co-stars.

When fists and weapons are flashing in front of you, your instinct is to dodge and run away. The stunts that action actors perform together are a way of fighting against this instinct.

Even so, injuries and accidents are still inevitable.

In his past life, An Zhijie was seriously injured when he was filming "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon" when he was accidentally slashed on the corner of his mouth by Yu Rongguang's stunt double, who played Guan Yu.

The follow-up treatment was not done properly, leaving permanent scars.

Whether it was a stroke of luck or misfortune, the scar enhanced An Zhijie's tough-guy image and directly changed his acting career, leading him to take on many villainous or cold-blooded roles afterward.

To improve the chemistry among the actors of "Seven Swords Legend", Chen Yuan tried to share his martial arts choreography and Pi Gua Quan (a style of Chinese martial arts) experience with them through "face-to-face transmission".

The result was not very useful for kung fu newbies like An Zhijie and Yang Xue; it did not make their movements smoother or their thinking clearer.

On the contrary, the skilled martial artists like Wu Jin and Wu Yue, as well as Yuan Kui's martial arts choreography team, can save him some of his breath, making it easier for them to understand Chen Yuan's ideas and thoughts.

But that's it.

[Face-to-face transmission] is useful for sharing works as rewards, as it can inspire others. For experience-based rewards, it depends on the experience and understanding of the recipient.

Otherwise, Chen Yuan could easily have created his own action choreographer team by cheating.

Now that a reward for his work has arrived, Chen Yuan immediately began his experiment.

Based on Virgil's combo using the Yamato sword, several sets of moves, each with about 10 moves, were adapted and practiced by the actors.

After Chen Yuan's face-to-face instruction, kung fu beginners like Yang Xue and Binbin gained a better understanding of the techniques, making their movements much smoother and less prone to forgetting their moves.

Not bad, not bad. This method is feasible. We can make full use of this reward to enhance the quality of the action scenes in "Seven Swords Legend".

As a result, the fight scenes in the entire series will inevitably lean towards the high-speed and intense style of the Devil May Cry game.

This presents a significant challenge for the actors, the filming crew, and the action choreographers.

Sigh, let's take it slow. Anyway, he's not in a rush for "Seven Swords Legend".

While Chen Yuan was busy with the pre-production of "Legend of Seven Swords", he was also working on various preparations before the release of "Kung Fu Panda". Almost every day when he opened his eyes, there were countless things waiting for him to do.

After more than half a year of preparation, Coca-Cola has finally introduced Qoo juice beverages to China, and production and distribution have been completed.

In early May, the advertisement for Qoo juice beverage, which was filmed last year and endorsed by Shu Chang, was launched on CCTV and more than a dozen provincial satellite TV channels.

The advertisement is simple: to the background music of "Sour and Sweet Is Me", Shu Chang plays games with a somewhat abstract and ugly-cute "cool" character, jumping around.

(This is what queer looks like)

That's right, this is a creative advertisement that blends the three-dimensional and two-dimensional worlds. Shu Chang's outfit is cute and exquisite, perfectly showcasing the youthful vivacity of a thirteen-year-old girl.

She was quickly given a name by the media and rapidly accepted by the public: 'queer girl'.

The song "Sour and Sweet Is Me" also became familiar to the public thanks to the overwhelming advertising.

The song features a light melody and straightforward lyrics, paired with a clear and gentle girl's voice, which enhances the sense of youthful vitality and describes the contradictory psychology of teenagers who yearn for independence yet rely on their families.

It was well-received by many young people and quickly climbed to the top of the music charts on various radio programs.

The original version of "Sour and Sweet Is Me" sung by Zhang Hanyun is a complete plagiarism of a foreign song.

The song hasn't even been written yet, so Chen Yuan is undoubtedly its original creator. Within a year, Yuan Universe created several high-quality television commercials, especially Chen Yuan, who is seen as an "advertising master" by the public; his commercials inherently generate high levels of buzz.

The Qoo Juice commercial is another masterpiece by him, and behind every commercial by Chen Yuan lies a story worth telling.

Fan Binbin and Huang Shengyi both became famous through Chen Yuan's advertisements.

Although this beverage ad was quite creative and the jingle was catchy, I still felt that this 14-year-old girl, who is about to enter her first year of high school, wasn't as stunning as the first two "Yuan Girls"!

The media, quick to understand people's needs and concerns, began digging deep into the issue as soon as the advertisement went live.

These are all easily found-out pieces of information. Shu Chang started acting in TV dramas at the age of 5, and her role as Little Chili in "Single Parent Family" at the age of 9 brought tears to countless viewers' eyes.
The TV series' album and cassette tapes sold 10 copies; she was a genuine child star.

Shu Chang's actual situation was even more pitiful than Xiao La Jiao's, but the little girl never neglected her studies.

He received the title of "Three Good Student" consecutively when he was in elementary school, and even when he was in junior high school, he was still among the top students while occasionally leaving school to film things and act as a junior host.

Her story is quite touching; she is truly a wonderful girl who excels in both character and academics, and is optimistic and strong!

However, what people talk about most is her relationship with Chen Yuan. They are actually sworn siblings!
In the interview, Shu Chang also openly talked about how she and Chen Yuan had known each other for several years before her mother passed away, and about Chen Yuan's care and protection for her afterwards.

Two helpless teenagers supported and relied on each other, persevered and became outstanding among their peers.

Even though Shu Chang had her aunt to rely on, the sibling relationship between the two did not fade, and Chen Yuan even wrote a song for Shu Chang to shoot an advertisement.

Such positive stories have been featured in numerous newspapers, including an interview with Shu Chang published in the Capital Youth Daily, which touched many parents and students.

Kung Fu Panda is scheduled for release in China in early July this year, while it will be released in North America about a week earlier to compete in the summer movie season.

The movies "Shrek" and "The Mummy Returns," which were just released in May, are making a killing worldwide.

Later in the summer season, there will be movies such as Pearl Harbor, Jurassic Park III, Planet of the Apes, and Rush Hour 2, which will become famous in later generations.

The competition is fierce; Hollywood these days is terrifyingly strong!
Although Chen Yuan did not expect "Kung Fu Panda" to break even in China, he also lacked the qualifications and ability to interfere with its overseas promotion and distribution.

But this is, after all, his first theatrical film, and he still wants to achieve good results and make a splash in China.

With just over a month left, it's time to get the pre-release promotion for the film going.

However, while many people in the industry are paying attention to the animated film "Kung Fu Panda," what ordinary viewers would care about it, especially since there are no celebrities in the movie?

Chen Yuan himself is one of the few key figures in the promotion of "Kung Fu Panda".

The timing of the Coca-Cola ad was excellent, giving Shu Chang and herself a certain amount of media attention.

Chen Yuan seized the opportunity, released a promotional video, and followed suit by buying some promotional articles to praise his efforts and talent.

These were the only ways to promote film and television in this era, and Chen Yuan couldn't think of a better way.

It's truly unexpected that such a seemingly ordinary business transaction would uncover a hidden master of manipulation and disparagement.
Some people compared Chen Yuan with Xie Tingfeng, who is currently very popular, and wrote a lengthy article on Tianya Forum entitled "Who is the idol we really need?"

The author argues from all aspects, including background, family situation, temperament, talent, and social impact, to reach the conclusion that:

Chen Yuan is more awesome than Xie Tingfeng. It's better to be a fan of Chen Yuan than Xie Tingfeng.

This has really stirred up a hornet's nest!
