121 Prepare to conquer the world
When the Los Angeles Times interviewed Chen Xueqian came out, countless American readers were in an uproar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The newspaper of the day was sold out almost instantly.
Just an hour after the newspaper went on sale, Chen Xueqian's official website ushered in an explosive growth, and countless people came to ask: Is what the newspaper says true?
In the face of the surging fans, Chen Xueqian's studio simply replied: "The content of the report of the Los Angeles Times is true, thank you for your concern, please support my new book and movie." ”
As soon as this announcement came out, everyone immediately had no doubts, but at the same time, almost everyone couldn't help but feel incredulous in their hearts. This teenager is really crazy.
Twenty million dollars, what an astronomical amount? But this teenager was so willful and thrown into a movie. The most terrifying thing is that this movie is directed by Chen Xueqian, a completely amateur newcomer.
In the eyes of all Americans, this money is almost equivalent to throwing it into the water.
Just half an hour after Chen Xueqian's announcement was issued, the evening was suddenly overwhelmed with posts about the news.
The content of the post can be broadly divided into several types:
"Chen Xueqian must be crazy, where did he get the confidence to dare to do this? This genius writer was blown away by the outside world, right? Does he think that movies are like novels, and they can be succeeded by luck? ”
As soon as this kind of post appears, a group of people will run down to scold.
"Ah, we can't take your turn to care!" This is a fanatic.
"What's wrong with our Chen willfulness? If his movie loses, I'll raise him! "This is a mother fan.
"After laughing, with our support, will Chen fail?" This is brain-dead powder.
In addition to this kind of induction post, there is also a kind of post on the Internet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we first met and knew each other because of Chen's novels, and along the way, we liked the story written by Chen so much, and at the same time, we are grateful to Chen who wrote this story. All the while, we kept asking him for it, and we almost never cared about Chen except for his books. I don't know what you think, but when I saw Chen in the photo yesterday, I could clearly feel that his smile was full of exhaustion. This young boy put too much pressure on himself, I don't know what others think, at least I don't think there's anything wrong with Chen trying so hard. What reason do we have to criticize a boy who is fighting for his ideals? For Chen, who worked so hard, I felt that I had to do something for him. Now I would like to encourage everyone to come to the cinema to support Chan after the movie is released! ”
When this post appeared on the Internet, there were countless followers. Someone even transferred the post to Chen Xueqian's official website.
Soon this post attracted the attention of Chen Xueqian's studio.
The random staff informed Chen Xueqian, who was preparing for the interview actor, the news of the news.
Hearing this news, Chen Xueqian couldn't help but be stunned, thought for a while, turned on the computer, and posted a new announcement on his official website.
"I'm very touched to see the support of my fans, but I have to remind everyone that the audience for this film is really a bit more human-oriented, after all, it was originally a commercial film that I pitched to Warner. So, while I'm very grateful to my book fans, I'd like to say a word in advance, please choose whether or not to watch it. ”
As soon as this announcement came out, Chen Xueqian's book fans were blown up again.
Even if he is desperate, even if he gambles everything, even if he has a thousand catties on his shoulders, he still does not change his innocence. Chen Xueqian's fans suddenly skyrocketed.
Chen Xueqian was unexpected, he just didn't want to lose his hard-earned popularity and reputation because of a movie.
It's really because the movie he wants to make has too much taste, nudity, **** and the like are simply commonplace. He couldn't imagine how his heart would collapse when a large number of his female readers walked into the cinema and watched all kinds of **** on the big screen.
However, no matter how lively the outside world was, Chen Xueqian didn't have much time to ask.
With the arrival of the crew, Chen Xueqian's first movie officially began casting.
When Chen Xueqian looked at the few resume forms in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. My own movie is really not optimistic.
The reason why there is no coverage of his films in the mainstream media at this time is because his films can't even attract the attention of those media.
That's why he cares so much about the Los Angeles Times' propaganda.
He really lacks exposure now, and it's hard for him to imagine that when his film is released, there will be no star, a completely new director, and no strong company. How the hell are you going to promote this movie.
But fortunately, Chen Xueqian has another identity besides being a film director, which makes him somewhat confident. Otherwise, he really didn't have to shoot and just packed up and went home.
There were not too many twists and turns in the movie interview, Chen Xueqian followed the memories in his mind and sent invitations to the protagonists of this movie in his previous life one by one.
And these actors who received the invitation almost without exception agreed to participate.
You must know that this movie was filmed in 2009, and they were all just unknown actors at that time, let alone them in 2003.
However, it is not without trouble, many characters, Chen Xueqian wanted to send an invitation, but found that he couldn't find any news from each other in Hollywood. This undoubtedly made Chen Xueqian a little embarrassed!
But fortunately, except for a few leading actors, this movie does not have high requirements for other actors. So Chen Xueqian soon found a replacement.
And another thing that annoyed Chen Xueqian was that Chen Xueqian had released the news earlier that he wanted to arrange a Hollywood blockbuster for Song Hye Kyo.
Originally, Chen Xueqian's plan was to let Song Hye Kyo play the protagonist's wife, but considering Warner's withdrawal, Chen Xueqian felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to arrange such a role for her.
With this consideration, Chen Xueqian made a phone call to Song Hye Kyo.
"Song Hye Kyo, now I originally planned to let you star in the movie Warner quit, and now only I have to invest in it, do you still want to act?"
Song Hye Kyo on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and asked, "So will this movie be released in the United States?" ”
Chen Xueqian said: "Of course, this is an American movie. ”
"In that case, why don't I act, you probably don't know how difficult it is to be on the big screen in South Korea."
Regarding Song Hye Kyo's words, Chen Xueqian thought about it and replied: "Then you have flown to Hollywood recently." I'll finish filming your scene, and then let you go back and shoot L.A. Life and Death. ”
Song Hye Kyo was very happy about Chen Xueqian's arrangement. It's just that Chen Xueqian couldn't laugh. He can almost imagine what kind of name Song Hye Kyo will give her after the news of Song Hye Kyo's appearance in this movie breaks.
But it's useless to think about that now. Everything will be answered after it is released.
From the interview to the arrival of the actors, Chen Xueqian only took a week. When Song Hye Kyo also arrived from South Korea, Chen Xueqian's film officially started filming.
At the opening ceremony, Chen Xueqian raised his wine glass and said to all the participants: "Maybe many of you have no expectations for the future of this film at this time. But what I want to tell you is that I am a miracle worker, and believe me, today will be the first step for you to conquer Hollywood and conquer the film industry with me. Let's raise a glass together! ”
With Chen Xueqian's words, almost half of the crew, which is a newcomer to the film, embarked on a journey with Chen Xueqian, an absolutely pink newcomer director. (To be continued.) )
