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

Chapter 225: Famous Overseas
The two camps began a fierce quarrel.

The battle line extended from online to offline.

There were even extreme groups of people who held signs and went to the TV station building to express their opposition.

This quarrel has brought heat.

Some viewers also requested that "The Great Tang Empire" be rebroadcasted.

You all say there are problems with this drama, so at least let me watch it so I can be sure, right?
In short, in South Korea, "The Great Tang Empire" is like "Dae Jang Geum" in China.

There are also many rumors and controversies about the origin of acupuncture in "Dae Jang Geum", and there are also many discussions and insults in China.

"The Tang Empire" perfectly reproduces that.

Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries have large Chinese communities and are also traditional areas of influence of Chinese culture. It goes without saying that "The Great Tang Empire" is very popular.

Under the long report of Global Times.

"The Great Tang Empire" has become a typical example of cultural going global.

As the male and female protagonists, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian are also well-known stars of the younger generation. They have begun to have a broad mass base in the above-mentioned countries.

These remarks are full of praise and compliments.

Although the subsequent editor-in-chief of Global Times was ridiculous, even his stance was questionable.

But at that time, the Global Times was, after all, an undoubted official media newspaper, and this report really caused a huge uproar.

A large number of media outlets reprinted and reported the news.

Some media outlets that had the same conditions went to several countries mentioned in the report, conducted interviews, and sent back follow-up reports.

The result is predictable, it can't be fake.

Audiences from all over the world who have watched the show have been full of praise for it.

What is mentioned most is the divine looks of the male and female protagonists and the relationship between them.

It seems that the Chinese are not the only ones who like to ship couples in serious dramas.

Domestic audiences and online netizens were frantically pursuing related reports and were simply obsessed with it.

On the one hand, the national self-confidence of today's people is insufficient, but there is another important reason.

At this time, "Curse of the Golden Flower" had been aired for more than half a month, which made the domestic people excited.

Many people have become almost desperate about Chinese film and television dramas, believing that each of these practitioners is committing a crime.

"Such a huge investment, so many stars, the most famous director, but in the end, they served a piece of crap."

After watching Curse of the Golden Flower, Comrade Chen Kaige heaved a long sigh of relief. It has been a year, a whole year. That damned steamed bun has been with me for a whole year. Today, I can finally hand it over to Comrade Zhang Yimou.

I can proudly announce to people all over the world that I, Chen Kaige, am not the only one who can make blockbusters of this standard, there are many talented directors in China. "

In short, it is extremely sarcastic and you can really see the anger from the comments.

But at this time, news came back that "The Great Tang Empire" was famous overseas.

It’s like drinking a glass of ice water in the middle of summer, and the whole body feels refreshed instantly.

Even those who are disappointed and desperate still retain a glimmer of hope.

Those who were not that disappointed in the first place but dared not speak out due to the public opinion situation finally dared to say some rebuttal to those who were taking advantage of the situation and selling anti-country goods.

"At least Xiao Chen's dramas are always good to watch, right?"

"They always say there are no good dramas in China. What's that? Domestic audiences' likes don't count, but foreign ones are okay, right?"

Since when, Chen Linfeng has become the greatest contributor to "The Tang Empire" in the eyes of most people.

In other words, any drama in which he participates in the writing of the script will be named "Xiao Chen's drama".

I can only say that this is how the entertainment industry is, it really is a winner-takes-all situation.

Relatively speaking, this news can be regarded as a diversion of attention from "Curse of the Golden Flower".

There are relatively fewer voices of complaints and abuse.

When Zhang Yimou called, he also expressed his gratitude specifically.

"Hey, Director Zhang, that's too polite. Netizens have said almost everything they need to say, and it's time to move on to other things."

Zhang Yimou didn't feel anything after hearing this. He had been scolded a lot recently, and the focus had shifted over the past two days. He felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.

He asked in a somewhat depressed tone, "Xiao Chen, you also watched the movie. Is it really that bad?"

Chen Linfeng was a little embarrassed. What should he say?

"Hey, Director Zhang, if you ask me, this movie isn't really bad, it's just that its positioning is a bit confusing.

The audience comes for blockbuster movies, and what they actually demand are grand scenes and smooth and exciting plots.

Thunderstorm is somewhat niche and literary, and they feel that it does not meet their expectations, so it is understandable that they feel unhappy. "

"So, you think we should just make boring popcorn movies?"

Chen Linfeng became more serious. "This is what the country lacks right now. Director Zhang, think about it. Since 2000, how many excellent pure commercial films or genre films have we produced in the industry?"

He counted on his fingers, "Stephen Chow's movies are more in line with this positioning. In my opinion, your "Hero" also counts, and then there is Feng's "A World Without Thieves", and last year's "Crazy Stone" which performed well. There are almost no other movies left."

He refuses to call some of the films made after Hong Kong Island moved north excellent because of their incomplete narrative structures.

Zhang Yimou frowned and thought for a while before saying, "If you really want to make a pure popcorn movie, it's not that easy. This thing doesn't require much technical skills."

"But no one has shown it to the audience. Their demands have not been met, so naturally they either criticize or turn to Hollywood movies."

What Zhang Yimou had always been thinking about was the perfect combination of business and art. He did not argue much, but just asked.

"What about your new movie? It won't be a commercial movie, right?"

"Of course not. I always do things for a purpose. If I want to win awards, I will just make art films.

When they want to make money at the box office in the future, they will naturally focus on commercial narratives and pleasing the audience, regardless of the author’s expression.”

Zhang Yimou laughed, "You are too purposeful."

Chen Linfeng didn't think there was anything wrong with this. "It's better to have a stronger purpose. When you promote it, the audience will have expectations and won't be fooled. Then the reputation will not be bad." "What you said does make sense."

Zhang Yimou's films have been criticized one after another, and he is now thinking about his future direction.

Xiao Chen's point of view can also be regarded as a reference for him.

……

On New Year's Day, Shi Xiaolong was on holiday, Shu Chang had nothing to do, and so did Liu Qianqian.

Chen Linfeng and the other three got together after a long absence.

Now the four of them are all famous and they don't dare to go out together, so they finally decide to play at Shu Chang's house. There is no one else around and they can talk freely.

Several people were chatting about their recent situation.

"Soldier Assault", in which Shi Xiaolong played the second male lead, was recently aired.

The largest producer, Huayi, was not very confident in the TV series and premiered it on Shaanxi Province Channel 2.

Because the local TV station does not have enough influence, it has not made much splash so far.

The main reason is that there are really no star-like characters in this drama.

At that time, Wang Baoqiang had only acted in two movies and was not very famous.

So the most famous person among them is actually Shi Xiaolong, can you believe it?

When Shi Xiaolong said this, he seemed a little frustrated and a little aggrieved.

"Xiaofeng, I don't like the play you introduced to me. Did you make a mistake?"

Chen Linfeng was calm and composed. "Why are you panicking? This is just a test broadcast on the local station. At least the performance on Shaanxi Provincial TV Station 2 is not bad."

"The key is that it's not particularly good. I feel it's not even as good as Xixi's previous drama, The Chinese Paladin. Her drama performed very well on local TV stations."

When Liu Qianqian heard that she was mentioned, she opened her eyes wide and wanted to see what Xiaofeng would say.

"Don't worry, the quality of this drama is here, it won't be buried. I will discuss it with my dad later and think of a solution. Anyway, this drama will definitely be a hit, trust me."

Shi Xiaolong nodded worriedly. So far, his younger brother has always been very accurate, and he hopes that there will be no problems this time.

Liu Qianqian asked curiously, "Do you think this drama is so good?"

"Of course, I think it's the best military-themed TV series, maybe even the best!"

This evaluation is really not low.

Liu Qianqian was surprised, "You are so optimistic about this drama."

Shu Chang asked curiously, "What do you think of Struggle? You also recommended it."

Chen Linfeng replied bluntly, "It's a TV series that I think is very problematic. Anyway, I don't like it very much."

"No, wait a minute." Shu Chang held his forehead with his hand, "That's not what you told me last year."

She recalled and said, "Didn't you say last year that this drama would have good ratings?"

"Yeah, just because the ratings are good doesn't mean I have to like it."

"Well, as long as the ratings are high, I don't ask for much."

Shi Xiaolong said with a click of his tongue, "Listen, as long as the ratings are high, that's not too high a requirement."

"You're still blaming me. Weren't you just pursuing high ratings?"

"I seek quality first and high ratings later."

The two soon began to argue.

Liu Qianqian looked at the two people quarreling, stretched comfortably, then leaned on Chen Linfeng's shoulder and started chatting.

"After the filming of the movie is over next year, do you have any plans?"

Chen Linfeng shook his head. "I should be able to rest for a few months. I should be writing novels at home by then. What's wrong?"

Liu Qianqian pouted and said, "Ever since we...you confessed your love to me, you haven't taken me out to play. How about we travel abroad together?"

It's a history book, right?

Chen Linfeng didn't bother about who confessed first, as long as he knew it in his heart.

"Aren't you afraid that Aunt Liu will find out? Then, how are you going to explain to her that you want to go abroad with a boy?"

“Uh…” Liu Qianqian was speechless.

Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang stopped arguing at some point.

They all looked at the two people who were showing their affection.

Shu Chang teased, "That's amazing, Xixi has become so proactive now?"

Liu Qianqian sat up straight immediately. She was still a little uncomfortable being close to Xiaofeng in front of outsiders.

Chen Linfeng was not embarrassed at all and even put his arm around Liu Qianqian's waist.

"My Sissi is just expressing her love, don't make a fuss about it."

"Bah, who wants to express love to you." Liu Qianqian blushed and slapped Chen Linfeng's hand away.

Shi Xiaolong covered his eyes and said, "I can't bear to watch it. It's really unscrupulous."

Chen Linfeng shook his head. Xixi was still shy, or rather, she was more restrained in front of familiar people.

He had seen a lot of displays of affection in his previous life, so as a single guy, he felt very uncomfortable.

I finally got married in this life, and my other half is a goddess. This was something I couldn't even imagine in my previous life.

Just wanted to show off more.

As a result, Liu Qianqian was still shy.

Unfortunately, my girlfriend didn't cooperate, so I had to give up.
