Chapter 396: Initial D (Addendum: 15/30)

When the film was screened, Chen Shuo and others quietly came to the screen to prepare for the audience's "trial".

Sometimes the media, studios, and audiences don't focus on the same thing.

The media values whether there is a news breaking point, even if the film is not good, as long as it can bring sales to its own newspapers and magazines, it is worth reporting.

What film companies value is whether they can attract the attention of their own people, and big directors, big stars, and big productions can always attract more people's attention.

And the audience only cares if you look good or not.

When the lights came on, looking at the main creative team standing in front, the audience stood and applauded.

Listening to this warm applause, Chen Shuo and the others were happy and excited, and bowed down again and again to thank them.

The applause lasted for half an hour before it gradually stopped.

Feeling the enthusiasm of the audience, Zhang Yimou was so excited that he couldn't speak several times with the microphone.

It was not easy to make this film, the script was changed from beginning to end, and it was still changing until the moment before it was finished.

The sea of flowers that I pinned my hopes on almost became a meadow, and then I tried my best to remedy it before it became such a small piece, and after only a few scenes, I was frozen to death by heavy snow, and finally had to change the snow scene.

Mei Yanfang, who was full of cooperation, first broke out with cancer before the start of filming, and then delayed for a long time before dragging her sick body to film, and passed away not long after the finale.

After sorting out his emotions, he began to speak, first expressing his heartfelt thanks to Mei Yanfang.

Thanks to her forbearance to come to shoot, this film was made.

If there is no character of the eldest sister, the whole film will lose too much color.

Secondly, I thanked the entire creative staff for their hard work......

Next, Andy Lau, Chen Shuo and others spoke in turn to explain their feelings.

accepted the audience's questions and answered some of their doubts, which officially ended the premiere.

After the premiere, the organizers of the conference arranged a cocktail party, and Chen Shuo and others moved directly from the screening hall to the banquet hall.

There weren't many real guests at the reception, but there were quite a few people serving around the reception.

In addition to the real service staff, there are also many models, directors from various countries, actors, and so on.

It is not only to celebrate the success of the crew of "Ambush on All Sides", but also to provide a platform for everyone to cooperate.

Many investors and filmmakers have their own goals.

As soon as Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping, and Jiang Zhiqiang appeared with Chen Shuo and others, everyone applauded.

Waiting for Zhang Yimou to say a simple opening remark, the whole dinner officially began.

The premiere started at half past ten, and it was already half past ten in the morning when the screening ended, and I communicated with the audience for a while, and it was already more than one in the morning when the banquet officially began.

Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei ate at around seven o'clock in the afternoon, and they were also a little hungry at this point.

After everyone was free to move, he pulled Liu Yifei and went straight to the food on the table.

It's just that the whole dinner party came for them, and the two of them didn't take two steps before they were stopped.

"Hello, Mr. Chen Shuo, Ms. Liu Yifei, your performance in the film is really eye-catching."

Looking at this middle-aged foreign man in a suit and leather shoes, Chen Shuo and the others had no choice but to stop and respond with a smile.

Through chatting, Chen Shuo knew that this was a French investor who had invested in a lot of works.

However, neither of them had heard of it, but it did not prevent the two from nodding their heads again and again to show respect.

Perhaps he also knew that there were many people waiting in the back, chatting for a few words, leaving a business card and then politely saying goodbye.

Immediately after that, there is the second, the third, all kinds of identities.

From investors, producers, directors, screenwriters, etc., take turns.

There are even many actors and models who come to chat, but they don't invite the two, but they want to be familiar with each other in front of the two, and when they meet in the future, they can have a chance.

At this point, Chen Shuo has thoroughly understood Zhang Yimou's ability and how much impact he can bring after starring in Zhang Yimou's works.

The distance from the ceremonial table to the dining table was only twenty meters, and Chen Shuo and the two walked for about half an hour.

In exchange for a stack of business cards in Huang Ying's hand.

For all the people who came to talk, Chen Shuo responded sincerely, without promise or refusal.

Just leave the contact information of the other party, or give your own contact information.

Even actors and models from unknown countries.

You may not need these things for the rest of your life, but you may have a certain contact point in time.

When the two of them arrived at the table to eat, there were many fewer people coming forward.

Chen Shuo put a piece of cake into his mouth with a fork, swallowed it in two or three bites, and said, "It seems that Director Zhang can only drink some wine tonight." ”

Liu Yifei, who took a sip of the drink, turned his head to look at Zhang Yimou, who was still surrounded by many people, and nodded: "I don't know if he's hungry?" ”

"He can eat, why does it take about an hour."

However, in the whole venue, not many people came to eat, so it was more attractive for the two to eat and drink here around the table.

No, Andy Lau just finished chatting with Quentin and said a few words to Lin Jianle, and then beckoned to Chen Shuo.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo finished eating the things on the plate in two bites, drank another sip of water to rinse his mouth, put down the plate and said, "Brother Hua is looking for me, Sister Ying, you follow Qianqian." ”

"Okay." Huang Ying nodded.

"Don't worry, I can handle it." Liu Yifei also nodded.

Chen Shuo came to Andy Lau with a glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "Brother Hua! ”

"Come, Chen Shuo." Andy Lau pulled Chen Shuo to his side, pointed at Lin Jianle and said, "This is the boss of Uniasia, Mr. Lin Jianle Lin." ”

"Hello Mr. Lin, I've heard of it for a long time." Chen Shuo raised his glass and saluted him.

Lin Jianle also touched him with a face, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Your name is also thunderous now, I heard last year that there was a very popular teenager in the mainland."

I didn't expect that as soon as the new year started today, it would be directly on fire. ”

"Where, Mr. Lin praised it, no matter how popular we are, don't we have to rely on Mr. Lin?"

"Pretty boy is humble, if I can bring out such a person as you, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams."

Chen Shuo didn't follow his words, but said: "Mr. Lin is full of talents, and he will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future." ”

Andy Lau laughed and said, "How is it, Mr. Lin?" I'm a good little brother, aren't you? Not only can he act, he can sing, but he can even speak well. ”

Lin Jianle nodded and said, "Indeed, the young man can be expected." ”

Andy Lau said to Chen Shuo again: "Morning, it should be said that it was yesterday morning, as I told you, Mr. Lin wants to ask you to play a role." ”

"Thank you for Mr. Lin's favor and willingness to give me this opportunity." When Chen Shuo heard this, he thanked him again.

"Our drama pays more attention to stunts, and with your acting skills in "Ambush on All Sides", there is no problem at all in shaping this character."

Lin Jianle was very satisfied with Chen Shuo's attitude, although the reason why he was looking for Chen Shuo was more because he valued his reputation for tens of millions of sales.

As the news of Chen Shuo's participation in the Cannes Film Festival came back to China, his album sales skyrocketed, and it has officially exceeded the 10 million mark in the past two days.

Even the sales of his first album have risen and are now approaching six million.

is always frivolous when he is young, and it is rare to be able to be like Chen Shuohuocheng, who is still sober and polite, in the entertainment industry.

When Chen Shuo heard what he said, he couldn't help asking, "Can Mr. Lin talk about this project?" What kind of role do I play? ”

When Lin Jianle heard what he said, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Andy Lau and said, "What? Didn't Andy tell you? ”

"Brother Hua mentioned it at dinner yesterday morning, and he was busy after that, so he didn't have time to say it."

Lin Jianle glanced at Chen Shuo up and down, and asked, "You don't know anything, so you just agreed?" Aren't you afraid I'll sell you? ”

Chen Shuo smiled and said, "Isn't this Brother Hua here?" If Brother Hua really sold me, then I smiled and helped him count the money. ”

Andy Lau was moved, hugged him and patted him on the shoulder.

Lin Jianle looked at Chen Shuo's sincere and serious expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Regardless of how true he is in what he says, the trust that is expressed alone is enough to move people's hearts.

Didn't you see Andy Lau already take him as a relative at this time?

Even he couldn't help but be infected by Chen Shuo's sincerity and trust.

Not to mention anything else, people who are affectionate and righteous will also go all out seriously when they are working.

Lin Jianle took the initiative to raise his glass and said seriously: "Come, although you don't know the specific information yet, today we will jointly wish this film a big hit, and I wish you can win the award for this role at that time." ”

"Thank you so much Mr. Lin, I wish our film a big hit and a full reputation!" Chen Shuo raised his glass and touched him.

Andy Lau also raised his glass and said: "I wish our film a big hit and a full reputation!" ”

Lin Jianle couldn't help but look at Andy Lau, and when he saw his serious appearance, he was immediately happy.

This film was originally asked for him to act, but he refused and recommended Chen Shuo.

Originally, it was replaced by Chen Shuo, a popular newcomer, although Lin Jianle regretted it, he was still quite satisfied.

Unexpectedly, today's double happiness came, not only invited Chen Shuo, but Andy Lau also agreed to star in it.

Cheers !!

With a "ding" sound, the three of them drank it all.

Putting down the wine glass, Lin Jianle asked Chen Shuo: "Ah Shuo, have you seen "Initial D"? ”

"What is this? I haven't seen it. Chen Shuo shook his head suspiciously.

"This is a comic from Dongying, the content is about racing, and the work we are about to shoot is based on this comic."

Lin Jianle explained, and Chen Shuo learned some inside information.

It turned out that with the success of "Infernal Affairs", which made Uniasia both famous and rich, they wanted to make persistent efforts and invite the original team to create a masterpiece again.

Because "Fast and Furious" in the United States did well at the box office, they thought about making a film about racing as well.

You must know that in terms of flying car special effects alone, Xiangjiang does not necessarily lose to the United States.

Therefore, they also thought about asking the original crew of "Infernal Affairs" to make a film.

In order to increase the box office, they did not choose the original, but planned to adapt Dongying's "Initial D", at least with the bonus of the original work, and they can collect a lot of box office in Dongying.

It's just that the idea is very good, but Liang Chaowei, Andy Lau and others all expressed their rejection after seeing this project.

First, none of them were stuntmen, and they may not be able to shoot such a stunt film.

Second, they think that this film is more about special effects, and they think that there is no connotation, so they can't watch this film.

In desperation, they had to settle for the next best thing, and first found Edison Cheng and Yu Wenle, who also starred in the "Infernal Affairs" series.

It just so happened that the two of them played Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei in their youth, and they became famous.

Later, Andy Lau recommended Chen Shuo to Lin Jianle, and producer Xu Ke recommended Zhou Jielun.

That's why this invitation came about.

"And what role am I going to play?" Chen Shuo asked.

Lin Jianle said neatly: "The actor, Takumi Fujiwara." ”

Chen Shuo nodded and asked, "Is the script ready?" When will it be turned on? ”

Lin Jianle said: "The script is being adapted, but most of it has been completed, and it is expected to start shooting in July, if there is no accident, the shooting will be completed in about two months."

After you go back, you can take a look at the comics and have an impression of the characters, our adaptation is just an adaptation of the storyline, and there are no changes to the shaping of the characters' personalities. ”

"Okay, I'll take a look when I get back."

"Also, can Ah Shuo drive?"

"I have a driver's license and I haven't driven a race car, but I'll practice in advance."

"It's okay, we'll go to Dongying for training before filming starts, and then you'll be able to get familiar with how the drivers operate the cars.

Even if we shoot in real time, we won't really drive the car to more than 100 miles, and a really professional shot will naturally be completed by a stuntman. ”

After chatting for a while, it was orally decided that Chen Shuo would play Fujiwara Takumi, and Andy Lau would play Takuha's father, Fujiwara Harata, and he planned to go to Xiangjiang to meet director Liu Weiqiang after Cannes was over.

Lin Jianle took Chen Shuo to find Xu Ke and his wife, and after introducing him, he said: "The producer of our film is Xu Sheng, you can talk more, there must be a lot of topics." ”

Looking at the ghost director Xu Ke, whose hair has turned gray, Chen Shuo is inevitably a little excited.

If you want to talk about the director of Xiangjiang, you can't avoid Xu Ke, who is known as "Xu Lao Wei".

It can be said that he single-handedly created today's Li Lianjie.

From the "Huang Feihong" series to the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" series, it directly laid the foundation of Li Lianjie's "Kung Fu Emperor".

With a "Black Man", he helped him open up the North American market and let him go international.

In addition, works such as "New Shu Mountain Swordsman", "Green Snake", and "The Legend of Shu Mountain", although the box office is not ideal, but they all show his unbridled creativity.

The taste of classical Xianxia is vividly shot.

If "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is compared with his three works, there is only one word "love" to say.

And he really shows "immortals" and "chivalry" to the fullest.

After Lin Jianle left, Chen Shuo's first sentence was: "Director Xu, I like your "New Shushan Swordsman" and "The Legend of Shushan" very much. ”
