Chapter 514 Life should have a sense of expectation
"What's your next trip?"
Chen Feng wisely did not answer Emily's words, but changed the topic. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of company resource allocation. In terms of commercial value, Emily is obviously not as good as Li Yixue. In terms of resources, Li Yixue must be given priority.
And to be honest, if it weren't for Miranda's sake, Chen Feng might not have signed Emily. She's not ugly, but it's impossible to say how beautiful she is. I can only say that her
Her acting skills are okay, and her appearance is fairly recognizable.
However, her potential for development in the film industry is relatively limited. Although she has appeared in many movies now, they are basically roles that cannot impress the audience. The most outstanding one is "Fashion Demon"
The second female lead in "The Head". Most of the roles in other movies, she could only play small supporting roles, so naturally she didn't get any particularly good roles. This is not because the Beauty Beauty Company didn't give her roles, but
Meili Jiaren Company does not have many resources.
Therefore, unless Chen Feng favors her in the future, just like he did with Li Dazhi, he will spend all his money to favor her. Otherwise, her acting future will be really limited.
At least, that's what Chen Feng thinks. Of course, things in the future are full of uncertainties. Chen Feng can't guarantee that Emily won't become popular. Just speaking from his own opinion, if Chen Feng can't give her enough resources
, it is almost impossible for her to become popular. Now Emily basically relies on her exclusive agent to find roles for her. Many of them require her to audition and be chosen before she can act. Of course,
They are all movies that are not very famous or popular.
"Next, I'm going to audition on two sets, and one of the roles is the third female lead. Jim said that this movie might be a big hit, so he asked me to fight for it."
Chen Feng also rarely cared about her and asked her about her situation in person. You know, after Chen Feng let Jim, the agent in the company, take full charge of her work, he basically stopped asking. Now that Chen Feng has asked, he may
It means that the boss Chen Feng may have to take care of her.
Sure enough, in Emily's expectant eyes, Chen Feng said: "That's it. The company is going to launch a new drama, and the investment is very large. The first season has ten episodes in total, and the production cost of each episode is five million US dollars.
.If you are interested, I will give you a role."
Emily's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this. Although film actors have always been higher than TV actors in the entertainment industry, it is not absolute. For example, several actors in "Friends" are actually not less famous than those movie stars, especially
The heroine Rachel became a household name because of this TV series, and her fame was comparable to that of Hollywood superstars. Later she also went to make movies, and her net worth was comparable to that of Hollywood superstars.
In fact, instead of comparing the actors in "Friends", just compare the two TV series "The Big Bang Theory" and "Lost" that are still popular on some TV stations. Some of the actors in them are also famous now, and their advertising endorsements and so on are also random.
As soon as I arrived, my wallet immediately bulged.
Especially the actors in "The Big Bang Theory", they were unknown before they starred in this TV series, especially the male protagonist Sheldon, who was an unknown before. But because of the popularity of this TV series, he also became famous.
He was also nominated for an Emmy Award and is very likely to win. At the same time, he also signed several commercial contracts and easily earned tens of millions of dollars.
How could Emily, who is now a member of the Beauty Company, not be envious of this? She knew her opportunity had come. She never questioned Chen Feng's production level in film and television. If he said it was a big investment, it must be
A good TV series.
"What kind of TV series is it? What role can I get? When will it be filmed?"
Everyone was very familiar with each other, and Emily didn't show any pretense, she just asked what she wanted to ask.
"Have you heard of the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire"?" Chen Feng asked.
Emily nodded quickly and said: "I've heard of it. I've also watched the first one, which was a bit good. But it's not a genre I particularly like, so I haven't watched the rest. The company won't make an adaptation of this novel.
A TV series, right? This is a fantasy novel, no wonder it requires such a huge investment."
"Yes. It's this novel, as long as you know it. This novel has been best-selling for twenty years and has a wide audience. Moreover, it has not been finished yet, which has given many readers a lot of suspense.
If there are no accidents, if this TV series continues to be filmed, it will give this novel an ending. This will attract many readers of this novel to watch the movie. I can't guarantee what role I will give you now, but it will definitely be suitable for you.
The role is also a role with a certain weight. Don't worry about this. I can't be sure when the filming will start, because the script is still being written. However, it will not be more than a month at the latest. Therefore, I hope you will set aside a month after
When the schedule comes, concentrate on filming this TV series."
Upon hearing this, Emily nodded without much hesitation: "Okay. No problem. Thank you boss."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Okay. This is my job. Let's go eat."
Emily also smiled and didn't mean to be polite. Ever since she came to Hollywood, she has been living and eating with Miranda for free. If Miranda is willing, Chen Feng will certainly not have any objections. No matter what,
It is said that when Miranda was in the foggy city, Emily also gave her a lot of help. Moreover, the friendship between the two was very deep, and Miranda could not live without a good best friend like Emily.
After dinner, Chen Feng did not rush upstairs to write the script. Instead, he guided Catherine downstairs to play the piano. In fact, she had been practicing the piano for several years, and had been taught by famous teachers, and her skills had matured. It’s just that
There are still some deficiencies in the proficiency of some tracks.
The Chopin International Piano Competition requires you to play some designated pieces, and there are many pieces. It is not difficult to master each piece over many years. What is difficult is to integrate them and imprint the pieces in your soul.
Therefore, what Chen Feng is explaining now is mainly about the understanding of the connotation of piano music and the analysis of the melody. Catherine has certainly benefited a lot from listening to Chen Feng's explanations.
In this way, Chen Feng explained a total of three pieces of music to her, and also demonstrated and played the three pieces of music on the spot. Two or three hours passed quickly.
At almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng went upstairs again to continue writing the script. It took him almost an hour to finally write the movie script of "Frozen 2". Of course, this was just the first draft. I really want to do it in the future.
If it’s put up for auction, it’s not too late to make modifications and improvements.
Having once again mastered a blockbuster movie script from his previous life, Chen Feng felt a sense of accomplishment and a sense of happiness like digging a treasure cave. After all, it was all money.
Looking at the time, it's past five o'clock. Chen Feng is not in a hurry to start writing the "Game of Thrones" script at this time, because if he really wants to write it, he has the permanent memory reference of the original time and space, so he can write episode by episode.
It’s not very difficult. It can definitely be written within a month. And it will take at least ten days and a half to assemble the crew, so it’s not very urgent.
When he went downstairs, there was no one in the living room. He called his cousin Zhao Wenxiu and asked her not to leave food for him at night, then took the car out.
When we arrived at Beyoncé’s house again, even though it was only a little after six o’clock, Beyoncé and her mother Ella Chao were already busy in the kitchen.
Several plates of fruit salad have also been placed on the dining table, including Chen Feng’s favorite pears.
"What are you doing? You two are busy together."
Chen Feng walked over and asked the two of them.
Zhao Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Didn't you see it?"
Of course Chen Feng saw it. Zhao Xiaolan was making meatballs with flour, which was also Chen Feng's favorite dish.
Beyoncé's attitude was much better. She smiled sweetly and said to Chen Feng: "I'm making roast chicken. Although it may not be as delicious as yours, I'm doing it with my heart. Don't blame me.
It tastes terrible."
"How come? I like to eat all the dishes you cook." Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Flattery." After Zhao Xiaolan said something about her son, her face couldn't hold back, and she couldn't help but smile. How could there be any grudge between mother and son? Although Zhao Xiaolan was not satisfied with him for not breaking up with Miranda before, nor did she convince Beyoncé to let her go.
She was very dissatisfied when she brought her child back to China to raise, but now that things have become like this, she can only accept it.
After all, she only has a son like Chen Feng, and now her son is not an ordinary one. Apart from occasionally making her angry, she can't find anything wrong with him.
When Chen Feng saw that his mother finally smiled at him, he struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Mom, how about I show you my hand and cook some dishes for you?"
"What? Do you think the food we cook is not delicious?" Zhao Xiaolan deliberately asked.
"Of course not. Mom, don't misunderstand me. Don't I want to show you my filial piety?"
"Okay. Just go and sit down. There are only three of us eating. There are already meatballs and roast chicken here. I'll make some egg soup and fry some vegetables."
Beyoncé followed up and said: "I also have a honey steak here. I'm already soaking it for lunch."
"Okay, I'll go sit and wait to eat."
Chen Feng was not polite. After all, he was his own mother and the mother of a child. If they were not allowed to cook for him, they might even be angry.
Chen Feng did not sit down immediately, but ran to the nursery to check on his daughter. She was sleeping soundly. Chen Feng watched for a few minutes before leaving.
Returning to the living room, I turned on the TV, turned down the volume, changed the channel, and watched whatever I wanted. The smell of food came from the kitchen, and the two women were busy, while I crossed my legs and watched the TV with an indescribable expression.
of comfort.
Suddenly, Chen Feng felt very comfortable. This was a kind of spiritual comfort that made him truly feel at home.
Ever since he traveled through time and came to this world, he has actually never felt like home. After all, he has always known that he is not from this world. But at this moment, he suddenly felt like home. Suddenly he realized that he was not from this world.
They are the people of this world.
Chen Feng suddenly felt full of expectations for his future life in this world. He also looked forward to the meatballs his mother made specially for him and to Beyoncé's honey steak.
Time passed unknowingly, neither fast nor slow, but very comfortable. It was not until the child's cry that broke the comfort in Chen Feng's soul. However, he was not angry about it. The comfort was gone.
, but the sense of life comes out.
When Chen Feng went to the baby room to look at it, the nanny had already picked up the child and coaxed it. She must have been hungry, so the nanny went to make milk. Chen Feng took over and held it carefully. Not to mention, after the first few times, the nanny went to make milk.
After many experiments and studies, he can now hold the child in a decent manner. At least the child is not crying.
The nanny finished soaking the milk and took over again.
Not long after, my mother came over to take a look. Then she took over from the nanny.
Beyoncé came over to take a look, but she went out. She was still watching in the kitchen.
The mother waited for the child to finish feeding, then held her upright and burped her gently. After the child hiccupped, she handed the child to the nanny and gestured to the nanny to hold the child upright for a while. This is
It is to prevent the child from overflowing milk.
Chen Feng learned this parenting knowledge while watching from the side.
Back in the living room, Beyoncé had taken the roasted chicken out of the oven and put it on the dining table. It was a big roast chicken that looked very delicious. After that, her mother also cooked the meatballs.
Okay, here it is.
After about ten minutes, other dishes were also served, including the honey steak that Chen Feng was looking forward to. This was not grilled, but stewed.
"Come, let's eat." Zhao Xiaolan brought over three bowls of rice.
Chen Feng couldn't help but move his index finger when he saw it. He took the bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "Then I'll start eating."
After saying that, he picked up a meatball and bit into his mouth one by one. The taste was really good. Chen Feng immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mom, what you made is really delicious. It still tastes the same as before.
My favorite."
Zhao Xiaolan was very pleased with her son's flattery, but she didn't say anything about him this time, just with a happy smile on her face.
Then Chen Feng picked up a piece of honey steak, put it in his mouth and took a bite. It melted in your mouth, very fresh and tender, and sweet. It was very sweet, and Chen Feng wanted to ask her how much honey was put in it.
However, you have to say that this stewed honey steak is indeed delicious.
But I can be sure that this steak is worth a lot of money. It is snowflake beef. With such good ingredients, it will taste delicious no matter how you prepare it.
"It's so delicious! This steak melts in your mouth, very tender and refreshing, very delicious. Thank you for your hard work, Beyoncé." Chen Feng also praised.
When Beyoncé saw what Chen Feng said, her heart immediately felt like honey. She was immediately very happy and happy to be praised by the person she liked.
"As long as you like it. I'm afraid you're not used to this way of eating. After all, this steak is sweet. I put a lot of honey in it."
Chen Feng said in his heart that he put too much honey, but he said: "Sweet steak is actually very delicious. If you do this, there are not many people who don't like it."
"Next time, I will bake it and eat it. Maybe you will also like it." Beyoncé said with a smile.
"Okay." Chen Feng nodded simply. He actually no longer regards Beyoncé as an outsider.
