Chapter 165: The Film Festival is Approaching

The crew of "Detective Chinatown 2" has everything ready.

Hong Chen has also been busy discussing filming with Yan Chi.

Yan Chi has a lot of money this time, after all, he has an investment of 500 million yuan in hand, and he has a lot of money.

The filming location is set in New York, the United States.

This is a much more expensive shot than in Thailand, where several shots were shot in real life in order to achieve the final result of the film.

After the cast was assembled and the contract was signed with the crew, the group held a party in Kyoto and headed straight for New York.

Here I also want to mention Ge Chen's work ability, and she also paid attention to that casting. After the two roles were confirmed, Ge Chen went directly to them to discuss the signing of the contract.

Liu Xiaoyu said that she considered it, because she was born as a model and her own resources are not bad.

Shang Yuyan, who played Kiko, directly agreed and signed a contract with the studio, becoming the second artist to sign a contract in the studio after Lu Jia.

They are all young and energetic, and their personal styles are obvious, highly recognizable, easy to be liked by the audience, and it is relatively easy to hold them.

The drama has already booked a hotel in New York, and the filming time is set for two and a half months, because the cost in New York is too large, so the task is relatively heavy.

The filming time of "Detective Chinatown 2" in the parallel world is 2 months and 20 days, so Yan Chi's prediction is not too much of a problem.

Before leaving, the filming team set off early to see the venue and prepare for shooting.

Two days later, after all the actors joined the crew, the crew chartered a passenger plane to pick up the actors across the ocean and arrived in New York.

When they got off the plane and walked out of the airport, it was a little deserted outside.

After all, they may be very popular in China, but they still haven't gone abroad.

Only occasionally one or two Chinese Americans saw them and took out their mobile phones to take pictures with surprised faces.

As a result, Hong Chen is even more determined to become an international movie star.

can be compared with one of the few international movie stars in China, Brother Yuanlong.

In the years when Yuanlong became famous, it was indeed popular all over the world.

Regardless of the fact that the style and quality of his works have been a little sluggish in recent years, he is still the most influential actor in China.

Through some interview programs, it can be seen that when he went to Japan next door, the whole country welcomed him, and the fans who picked him up at that time blocked the road.

When he went to the cold country, the stars were his fan brothers. For example, in several episodes of the famous variety show Running Man, he made cameo appearances, and as soon as he appeared, those big-name movie stars were shocked and bent down to greet him politely.

It's the same in the United States, where he is one of Hollywood's biggest movie stars and is very popular.

Among the Oscars, there is a top honor called the Lifetime Achievement Award.

This award is a reward for those who have made outstanding contributions to the film industry and represents a supreme honor. Only epoch-making artists can win this award

It is very difficult for Asians to win prizes in it. Even today, only four Asians have won the award.

India, Sadie Tagit Ray, a master of Indian realist cinema and the initiator of the Indian New Film Movement, won this award in 1992.

Japan, Akira Kurosawa. The great director is the most colorful stroke in the history of Japanese films. He received this honor in 1990 and died eight years later.

Nichikoku, Hayao Miyazaki. Master of comics, each work will be called a lifetime series, won the award in 2014.

Then there is Huaxia's Yuanlong, which won the award in 2015. He is the first Chinese to receive this honor, and the youngest actor in the history of this award.

This is the supreme glory, he let the world see Chinese kung fu, becoming the second existence after Bruce Lee that can be used as a "Chinese label".

And this goal is what Hong Chen has always wanted to achieve.

Compared with today, few people on the streets of New York know him.

There are relatively few of his movies out of the circle. Even if it went out, it didn't cause much repercussions.

For example, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has a good reputation abroad, but few people can remember him, because the audience thinks more about the plot and will not become a fan of one of the actors.

"Li Bai" is also good, but it is too niche, and only some people who are interested in Chinese culture have seen it.

He still has a long way to go to achieve his goal of becoming a global actor, but he is very confident.

The crew sent a bus over to pick up the actors to the hotel, and then began to prepare for filming.

At the same time, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is also in full swing.

Because of the birth of "Scorching Sun", this movie is favored by all parties, and there is no doubt that this situation has also pushed Hong Chen to the forefront.

If you want to climb to the top of the entertainment industry, you naturally have to go through a lot of winds and waves.

If you can get through it, your career will be more stable.

For example, Brother Hu, who disappeared after the car accident back then, is now reborn as the first brother of film and television, and his national popularity is very high.

If you can't cross it, you will have nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

For example, Fan Cake Cake, although it has been popular for many years, it eventually fell down because of tax evasion and completely faded out of people's field of vision.

This film festival is a test for Hong Chen.

Zhuo Wei, a well-known paparazzi team leader in China.

At this moment, Zhuo Wei was sitting in a hotel box, looking at the two people in front of him comfortably.

These two people, one is a middle-aged actor Zhu Xiu, who often makes some realistic movies and takes the literary route. The other is his agent.

It stands to reason that the people in the entertainment company hate these paparazzi, but at this moment, the three of them are sitting together, but Zhuo Wei is not panicking at all.

"Have you thought about it clearly? 10 million, don't bargain, the photo just now is just the beginning, and we still have a lot of real evidence later. Zhuo Wei asked smugly.

Zhu Xiu was silent.

The photo Zhuo Wei showed him just now was an intimate photo of Hong Chen and Yan Yileng, both of them were in the villa area of Chaoyang District, close to each other, and occasionally walking together was obviously photographed by the paparazzi with a heart.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing has nothing to do with Zhu Xiu, but now the situation is different, because Zhu Xiu was also nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival with the film "Swordsman".

In other words, Zhu Xiu is also a strong contender for the actor.

But judging from the current situation, Hong Chen is very likely to win the award.

At this time, if Hong Chen is exposed to some peachy news, and then the paparazzi team adds fuel and vinegar, it will definitely have a great impact on his reputation.

After all, when Hong Chen is filming, it is inevitable that he will have contact with other actresses, as long as he puts out such photos and Yan Yileng's photos, and makes up a few names at will, there are many people who eat melons in the entertainment industry.

Hong Chen's image of stepping on two boats can't run away properly.

Although this matter will definitely be clarified soon, it happened at the juncture of the film festival, and it is naturally debatable whether an artist with bad conduct can be the actor.

Therefore, Zhuo Wei sold this scandal.

"Think about it clearly, there are only a few people competing for the actor this year, except for Hong Chen, you have the greatest possibility, do you want to buy it?" Zhuo Wei said as if he had the chance to win.

"If you don't buy it, I'll sell it to Time Media. The scandal of the family Huadan, let alone 10 million, even if it is 30 million, they are willing to eliminate it. ”

Zhuo Wei threatened again.

In fact, the media in this kind of thing is not panicked at all, because their public relations ability is very strong, and this little scandal can also help them stir up the heat, so they don't care.

Zhuo Wei also knew this, so he came to Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu hesitated for a long time, the actor's temptation to him was too great, 10 million was only a small matter for him.

"Okay, I bought it. Zhu Xiu finally made up his mind.

"Very good and happy to work with. Zhuo Wei also laughed.

"Two days before the festival, you just wait to see the excitement. ”
