Of course Liu Qinfei could hear it and said angrily: "Since you remember, you should fulfill your promise as soon as possible. Although I am not from your company, I can still make money for your company. And I am confident in my acting skills.
You're not much worse than others. Since you can tailor-make a movie for others, why can't you create it for me?"
Sure enough, she was still that arrogant woman, and Chen Feng was very unhappy with her personality. If it weren't for the fact that she was his noble person and helped him, he wouldn't have been so spoiled.
Of course, Chen Feng was somewhat unreasonable, and he didn't want to argue with her when he met her, so he said: "Okay. When I have time in the future, I will definitely create a movie for you, head office, right? I really don't have it now.
It's empty. You should know that I'm really busy right now. I'm going to fly to the United States tomorrow to work on things there."
Hearing what Chen Feng said, Liu Qinfei's face looked better, but she still asked: "Then when will you fulfill your promise?"
Chen Feng had no choice. After thinking about it, he said: "It will definitely not work this year. It will be in the first half of next year at the earliest. You don't have to be too anxious. You know that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You already have "Revenge" this year.
Now that the movie is a hit, you will definitely have a lot of resources at your disposal, so there is no need to be so impatient."
Liu Qinfei further said: "It's not that I'm impatient. You should know that although the movie "Revenge" did well at the box office, people criticized my performance in this movie more and praised less. So, I am in urgent need.
A movie that allows me to display my acting skills properly proves to everyone that my acting skills are not bad."
Chen Feng was speechless after hearing what she said. He said to himself that your acting skills are not bad, but not great. This is not what everyone said after "Revenge" came out. It was also said in those TV series before.
of.
"Although your acting skills in "Revenge" were not particularly outstanding, they were still quite satisfactory. You don't have to pay too much attention to the criticism from those keyboard warriors on the Internet."
Liu Qinfei said angrily: "Don't you also think that my performance in this movie is outstanding?"
Chen Feng smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Liu Qinfei said angrily: "I kept a straight face in this movie because the heroine is like this. This role doesn't give me much room to perform. What can I do?"
At this time, Li Manyu comforted her: "Don't pay too much attention to those people's sarcasm. You just have to do your best. What's more, isn't the movie "Revenge" quite popular? Although there are some critics on the Internet.
There are many voices, but there are also many voices praising you. Take your time, you are still very young, wait until the next movie comes out and slap those people in the face."
After hearing this, Liu Qinfei softened her expression and said, "This is the truth, but I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."
Chen Feng said: "You have to overcome this yourself. You can't make everyone like you. So? You must care about the opinions of those who have nothing to do with you. Then there is nothing anyone can do."
"These sarcastic remarks didn't fall on you, of course you said it easily." Liu Qinfei rolled her eyes at Chen Feng and then asked, "What if I plan to go to Hollywood to make a movie? Can you help me? I
You can provide money. For example, movies like "Juno"."
To be honest, Liu Qinfei is very jealous of Miranda. Although the movie "Juno" was originally written by Chen Feng and starred his girlfriend Miranda, but because it is an art film, the domestic audience in the Tang Dynasty was not enthusiastic about watching the movie.
Gao? The box office in the first week of its domestic release last month was only over RMB 50 million, which was far lower than all the films Chen Feng had invested in before. Although it did not fall in the second week, it was almost maintained at the level of over RMB 50 million.
.
However, as Miranda began to win awards frequently in Europe and the United States, domestic and foreign media also frequently reported on this movie? Especially on the Internet, the evaluation of this movie is very high, with a score of 9.2 on Wandou.com. Although the score is
This is because the number of people is only over 7,000.
But basically this ratio and such a high score undoubtedly indicate that this is a good movie.
So, as word of mouth has fermented, the domestic box office of "Juno", a literary film, has bucked the trend, and the box office in the third week reached more than 70 million.
It is now in its fourth week, and the box office is expected to exceed 300 million.
Except for "Sweet Honey", it was rare for a literary film to achieve such a high box office before, with the exception of "Sweet Honey", which had exceeded 100 million. But after Chen Feng appeared, he wrote and participated in two literary films "Sweet Honey" and "Juno"
The box office has exceeded 100 million.
Of course, good box office sales are not the main reason for Liu Qinfei's envy. The main reason is that Miranda has won three relatively important film awards in Europe and the United States with "Juno", a literary film.
In particular, the Best Actress Award awarded by the Grand Film Academy is not much different from the Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, and Berlin Film Festival.
In Liu Qinfei's view, Miranda's acting skills are really average. If it weren't for a good script and a good director, Miranda wouldn't have won the award.
What makes Liu Qinfei even more envious is that the movie "Juno" has been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, and Miranda is very popular for winning the award.
From this, it can be predicted that she may also win an Oscar at next year's Berlin Film Festival.
How could such scenery not make fellow actress Liu Qinfei feel sour in her heart?
She wanted to copy Miranda's current success, so after asking this question, she looked at Chen Feng expectantly.
After Chen Feng lowered his head and pondered for a while, he shook his head slightly and said: "This is difficult. You know, there are no successful examples of yellow-skinned actors in Hollywood."
There was no Bruce Lee or Van Rooster in Hollywood at this time and space. Therefore, there is really no example of a yellow-skinned actor becoming a movie star in Hollywood.
From the Tang Dynasty, the only one that was considered outstanding was that Li Jiayi starred in a Hollywood movie more than ten years ago, although the movie had a mediocre box office and a mediocre reputation.
And Liu Qinfei now actually wants to develop in Hollywood, which is quite ambitious. If she makes a name for herself there, she will be regarded as the first yellow-skinned actress in history.
"There were no successful examples in the past. But aren't you an exception? In the past, many directors, producers, and investors from our Tang country went to Hollywood to develop, but they all ended in failure. But you are
Exception, it has been successful. Isn’t it?”
Liu Qinfei’s rebuttal is very insightful. However, the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "What you said makes some sense. But you also said that we are directors, producers and investors, not actors. Before this, only Li Jiayi had worked hard in Hollywood, and she sacrificed for it.
My youth and even some dignity. But what is the final result?"
When Liu Qinfei heard this, she couldn't help but said angrily: "Li Jiayi can't do it, does that mean us yellow-skinned actors can't do it?"
Chen Feng said helplessly: "I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it's difficult. Do you think I can easily gain a foothold in Hollywood? I have achieved great results in a Hollywood company, but I have done a lot in private.
At the same time, I offended a lot of people because of this. I even had a bad relationship with the current president of Warner. You don’t know this. If I hadn’t given 10% of my shares to my current partners, my
The company cannot gain a foothold in Hollywood. The reason is very simple. My partner is Jewish. He used to be the assistant to the president of MGM. He has a certain origin and background in the Jewish consortium.
But even so, those Jews and white people will not just sit back and watch me join their table and share the market cake with them. There may be some traps and sinister means to deal with me in the future. If you want to work in Hollywood
Acting here, unless you always provide your own money and resources, it is difficult to achieve any results. Besides, do you think audiences in Europe and the United States will like a movie starring a yellow-skinned actor? In short, do you want to be in Hollywood?
It's more difficult to get results while trying to get results than it is to open an entertainment company in Hollywood."
Liu Qinfei gritted her teeth and said: "I know it's difficult. But I want to give it a try. Besides, even if I fail in the end, I still feel it is glorious. Just like Li Jiayi, although she has not become famous in Hollywood, she came back
In China, she is still a well-deserved top actress."
"Okay. If you insist, then I can only try my best to help you. However, as I said just now, I really don't have time this year. Besides, I have to come up with a suitable script. It will be next year at the earliest.
." Seeing her resolute attitude, Chen Feng knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he might as well follow her wishes. Anyway, in Chen Feng's original plan, he planned to let domestic actors star in Hollywood movies.
Slowly expand the culture of the Tang Dynasty.
As Liu Qinfei is one of the four most popular actresses in the country, Chen Feng is of course willing to add her to this plan. However, what Chen Feng values most is Li Manyu, a "veteran drama star" who has been awarded the title of Queen for three times.
It's just that this plan will not be implemented until next year at the earliest. For the time being, it can only be postponed.
Liu Qinfei was ecstatic when she saw Chen Feng agreeing. She had actually wanted to go to Hollywood for a long time. After all, as an actor, who doesn't want to go to Hollywood, the world's film center, to be famous in Hollywood?
Famous, the starting point of this platform is simply not comparable to that of this small domestic film circle.
"Thank you. Chen Feng, I really saw you right." Liu Qinfei's face was filled with a happy smile. In her opinion, Chen Feng still regarded her as a relatively good friend. Otherwise, he would not have dealt with this matter.
help.
After all, Chen Feng wanted to help her star in a Hollywood movie, but he had to provide money, effort and resources. And she was not from his company yet.
Chen Feng looked at Li Manyu with an envious look in his eyes and smiled: "You are the same. I originally wanted to take you to Hollywood to develop, but the original plan was to take you two or three years later. Now that Sister Fei is going to make a career, then
Just do it in advance.”
Li Manyu couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this. In fact, Chen Feng had said similar words to her before, but not so solemnly and formally this time.
"Thank you, boss. However, my English is not very good."
"If it's not good, just start practicing more from now on. Hire a foreign teacher and you just need to practice your speaking. Your reading and writing skills just need to be a little passable."
When Liu Qinfei saw Chen Feng take the initiative to take Li Manyu to Hollywood, she couldn't help but feel like lemon again. However, Li Manyu is an artist under Chen Feng, and she is also a leading actress. If you don't praise her, you can't praise her.
"Chen Feng, Sister Manyu, you have to say first come, first served. I was the first to say that I wanted to work hard in Hollywood. So, I have to start filming my movie first."
Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "It can be two heroines. Let you play together."
Liu Qinfei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "In this case, I have no objection. When the time comes, Sister Manyu will have to help me a lot."
Li Manyu smiled and said: "If it is really a movie with two heroines, let's improve each other."
When he said this, Hu Fei's voice sounded from the door: "What are you talking about? Look at how happy you are."
"You're here. Come here quickly." Liu Qinfei waved enthusiastically to Hu Fei. The two had known each other for a long time and were friends. Later, because they played Yang Kang and Mu Nianci respectively in "The Condor", their relationship became even better.
Hu Fei came over and sat down with a smile, and Liu Qinfei said with pride: "I made an agreement with Chen Feng that I plan to go to Hollywood next year. He will help me get a Hollywood movie and let me star in it."
Upon hearing this, Hu Fei quickly looked at Chen Feng and said loudly: "Boss, please take care of me too. I don't have anything to act in in the country now. And I'm getting older. If I don't work hard, I won't be able to do anything in this life."
That's all."
Chen Feng said with a smile: "Don't worry. If you don't have a role, you can come over and help me act at the end of the year."
"Really?" Hu Fei's eyes couldn't help but shine.
When Liu Qinfei heard this, she was immediately unhappy. She glared at Chen Feng and said, "Chen Feng, you are going too far. You said that my movie will be released next year at the earliest. How come it will be released at the end of the year?"
Chen Feng glared at her angrily and explained: "It's a costume drama. It's another big drama after The Condor Shooting. This time, if Hu Fei is willing, he will be the leading actor. I believe if this movie is successful,
If you do it, you will become the king of vision in our country. It will take your popularity to the next level. Are you willing?"
"Yes! Of course I do!" Hu Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly poured a cup of tea for Chen Feng and himself, raised his glass to Chen Feng and said, "I'll give you a cup of tea instead of wine."
After saying that, he drank the tea in one gulp.
Chen Feng smiled when he saw this and took a sip of tea.
"Chen Feng, I didn't make the mistake of making you my friend." Hu Fei said with a moved face.
You must know that Chen Feng has directed a TV series, and it is also a costume drama. There is a precedent for "The Condor", a popular national drama, and it is certain that it became popular before it was broadcast. Jiang Xiaobai, an actor who is a complete novice, just because of "The Condor"
This TV series has now ranked among the first-line actors, not to mention Li Yixue, because the role of Huang Rong has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and she has become a national-level female artist. In terms of popularity today, she still firmly occupies the top of the four major actresses.
This shows that the gold content of this costume drama actor is really very high.
