As time passed, the celebration party also came to an end.

Early the next morning, Chen Shuo packed up his things and went to Dongying with Liu Weiqiang and others to prepare for the premiere there.

As soon as he got off the plane, he saw that the airport was full of people, Chen Shuo thought it was a celebrity fan from Dongying who came to pick them up, and after listening to it for a while, he realized that it was to greet them.

"Do we have such a big reputation in Dongying?" Cheng Guanxi smiled and beckoned to the people on both sides, and asked a little blankly.

"It's half and half, I think there are a lot of people who don't pay that much attention to us, but they behave very professionally." Chen Shuo also said in a low voice while greeting with a sincere smile.

He could feel that some of the people on both sides were real fans, like "Initial D" or Zhou Jielun and his own fans.

But the most enthusiastic ones seem to be too professional.

Nagasawa Meimi came to his side and said in a low voice: "Dongying's fan industry is very mature. ”

Zhou Jielun, Cheng Guanxi and others looked at Chen Shuo, they knew some simple Dongying language, but they were not to the level of comfortable conversation.

When Chen Shuo acted as a translator and said it again, several people suddenly understood.

Although the fan industry in Xiangjiang is not so exaggerated, there are also those professional fans.

After knowing the truth, several people laughed more sincerely, obviously, fans were invited not to watch them play big names, but for publicity.

Naturally, you need to be at your best.

Under the enthusiastic support of the fans who were both true and false, Chen Shuo and others got in the car and went straight to the hotel.

The distribution work on Dongying's side is co-hosted by Dongying's producer and acting distributor, and Chen Shuo and others only need to cooperate.

Liu Weiqiang and others contacted each other and also set the publicity process.

The general process of the premiere everywhere is the same thing, that is, to use the fame of the director and actors to attract more audiences to let them into the theater.

Dongying's side is no exception.

After picking up the wind and washing the dust for Chen Shuo and others, he arranged for everyone to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, in front of the Koma Theater in Shinjuku, thousands of fans were waiting eagerly, holding signs that read "I love Chen Shuo" and "I love Jielun".

This film is based on the comic, and for the people who like this comic, many people are looking forward to it.

At 4 o'clock, Chen Shuo and others drove to the red carpet, today's red carpet is very long and wide, Chen Shuo drove AE86 and carried Nagasawa Meimi slowly on the red carpet, causing the audience on both sides to exclaim.

Behind are the FC, FD, etc. of Zhou Jielun, Cheng Guanxi and others, and everyone is also carrying a person in their car.

After the last round of publicity, everyone found that those who like this movie have a different kind of passion for everyone to be able to drive the car in the play to promote.

Therefore, everyone is ready to do this for the next publicity.

Sure enough, as AE86 with "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" written on it stopped on the stage of the venue, Chen Shuo walked out of it and followed Mei Nagasawa, and the cheers did not stop.

After Zhou Jielun, Chie Tanaka, Cheng Guanxi and others got out of the car, they also caused bursts of enthusiastic cheers.

The next process is the same, reporter interviews, fan questions and interactions, etc., until the end of the publicity campaign at 5 o'clock.

Chen Shuo and others took the candy brought from Xiangjiang and distributed it to everyone, just like the candy at the wedding, sprinkled it to the crowd, and many fans scrambled for it.

But it didn't cause much confusion.

Under the farewell of a group of fans, Chen Shuo and others went to the theater to take a rest, waiting for the movie to open and watch the movie with everyone.

The premiere was followed by a dinner party, during which Liu Weiqiang and Dongying discussed the sequel, while Chen Shuo chatted with her agency manager on the recommendation of Mei Nagasawa.

After chatting for a while, Chen Shuo was about to serve a glass of wine, when he heard a somewhat familiar voice shouting.

“Harvest！”

But he didn't care, he just thought that someone had met an acquaintance.

“Harvest！”

"Hey! Harvest！ It wasn't until someone slapped Chen Shuo on the shoulder that he remembered that he was calling him.

Turning his head, he shouted with some surprise: "David, why are you here?" ”

This person is David Cohen, who he met in Cannes before and later met Liu Yifei by chance.

"I'm sorry, I don't use this name often, and I didn't react for a while."

"It's okay." David suddenly understood when he heard this, after all, if someone called him by his screen name or something in reality, he would not be able to react for a while.

"I came with Director Lin Zhibin." As he spoke, he pointed to a man who was talking to Liu Weiqiang.

I don't know Lin Zhibin and Chen Shuo, but the last time Liu Yifei told him about it, I saw the information Huang Ying was looking for.

There is not much information, but there are photos, and you can still recognize them by comparing them.

Chen Shuo took two glasses of wine, handed David one and asked, "I heard Crystal say that you also want to make a movie about racing?" ”

"Yes." David touched him, took a sip and said, "I don't know if you've heard of Fast and Furious?" Director Lin Zhibin will serve as the director of the third part. ”

"Fast and Furious?" Chen Shuo was a little surprised, Huang Ying found out that the information did not show that Lin Zhibin had filming experience in drag racing, and I don't know why Universal invited him to make a sequel to this movie that has obviously made money.

But when I heard it, I seemed to understand, maybe it was because of his background as an Asian director.

Universal may have wanted to explore the Asian market more effectively, so he decided to direct it.

The other party was born on Taiwan Island and later went to school in the United States, which may be compatible with the love of both the East and the West.

"This time, Director Lin wants to innovate and break through, not only adding more Asian elements, but also showing more drifting skills." David explains, "We've seen the film several times before, and we've done some research.

Director Lin thinks that your shooting experience is very helpful for our next shooting, and I would like to take this opportunity to ask Director Liu for advice. ”

"Then it seems that Director Lin is very optimistic about you." Chen Shuo looked at David with a happy face and said.

Whether it was the last time he met Liu Yifei or the personal inquiring this time, Lin Zhibin took David with him, and he wanted to value him more.

"Maybe it's because I like Asia, especially Chinese culture." David raised his glass and said with a smile.

Chen Shuo touched a glass with him and said with a smile: "Presumably its profound heritage will not disappoint your liking." ”

After taking a sip of wine, David said, "Chen, your performance is very good, really, every time I watch it, I have the idea that you can participate in the car race."

Mr. Keishiro Tsuchiya also said that you have a talent for racing, and I talked to him about you. ”

"Thanks for the compliment!"

"I don't just want to compliment you, Chen." David said directly: "I want to invite you to interview for our play." ”

After hearing this, Chen Shuo glanced at Lin Zhibin, who was still chatting with Liu Weiqiang, and then looked at David and said, "I guess, this is just your own idea, right?" ”

"Yes." David nodded, Lin Zhibin really didn't say that he wanted to ask Chen Shuo to interview for the role.

It was because he felt that Chen Shuo's performance was very good, and he himself had a good impression of Chen Shuo, so he sent the invitation.

Chen Shuo pondered for a while and said, "I'll ask my assistant to contact you tomorrow and send a resume to your crew, but we won't stay in Dongying for too long, and we will go to Bangguo to participate in the promotion in three days." ”

David said with some joy: "Don't worry, Chen, I will recommend you to Director Lin, I think Director Lin will also be very interested in you." ”

He understood Chen Shuo's words, he would accept his invitation and send a resume to the crew, but he didn't have hope for it, and he wouldn't wait long.

However, he also believes that Lin Zhibin will talk to him whether he will invite Chen Shuo to play or not.

After all, Lin Zhibin is very optimistic about the movie "Initial D", and he also recognizes Chen Shuo's performance.

Chen Shuo nodded, to be honest, he hadn't received a foreign script invitation.

Since he participated in Cannes last year, especially after the release of "Ambush on All Sides", he has received a lot of invitations, but either the place is too remote, or some small costs that have little money and he doesn't like the script very much, basically pushed by him.

The first two parts of the "Fast and Furious" series, although he didn't know very specifically, he had also heard of it.

And now I am ready to shoot the third part, which proves that the first two parts did well at the box office.

In general, it is a good foreign resource, and it is also an American movie.

You must know that the domestic entertainment industry is still more inclined to gain international recognition, especially the United States.

But unfortunately, both the system and the industrial chain are more perfect, and at the same time, there is a natural sense of looking down on Asia.

Except for Li Lianjie and Cheng Long, even Zhou Yunfa didn't mix well there, and he was not very popular.

He was surprised by David's invitation, but he didn't take it too seriously.

As soon as this invitation was issued by David, the camera assistant, listening to this position, I knew that not only did it not have anything to do with the task of casting, but also had a bad status in the crew.

It is estimated that it is not as great as his power as the action assistant director in "Rain of Swords".

Second, he doesn't think that his fame and strength can win the favor of Universal Company.

Yes, Universal Inc., not Lin Zhibin.

He believes that Lin Zhibin, the director, may not have so much control over the crew, and he still has to listen to the producer.

Compared with the vast majority of director-centered films in China, films in the United States, unless the director is particularly famous, are more producer-centric.

Obviously, Lin Zhibin does not look like a director with a lot of power and fame.

Out of David's sincerity and good intentions, he would hand over his resume, but he wouldn't have much hope.

He doesn't want to waste too much energy in this area, and if the other party doesn't have more inclinations during Dongying's propaganda period, he won't put too much energy into it.

David seemed pleased with his decision.

The two were not too close before, but for Chen Shuo, he had a special sense of identity, like a fan, and like a new friend who was very capable.

This is mainly because he first watched "Ambush on All Sides", had a preliminary good impression, and then had more intersections with chance encounters on the street, which was influenced by Chen Shuo.

Later, they prepared "Furious 3" and had a relationship with Chen Shuo, and they had more recognition and admiration for Chen Shuo's performance, which was why they showed such enthusiasm beyond the relationship.

The two chatted for a while, and when they saw someone greeting Chen Shuo, David turned around and left.

Later, Chen Shuo also saw David pointing to him when chatting with Lin Zhibin, but he didn't mean to greet him over.

He just raised his glass and didn't pay much attention to it.

After the party, Chen Shuo explained to Huang Ying and asked her to contact David, and put together a copy of his resume in Chinese and English and handed it to the crew of "Furious 3".

Among them, I focused on my performance during the filming of "Initial D".

After all, this is what the other party values.

After that, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, but worked with the crew to promote it all over Dongying.

There will always be a lot of controversy about manga movies, especially those that are very famous in their own right.

In the group of comic book fans and animation fans, they will be more critical of manga works.

Some things that don't conform to the original book will be taken out and lashed out.

However, for the adaptation of "Initial D", Dongying's audience still recognizes it.

The only thing that has been criticized may be Zhou Jielun's acting skills, but he is very famous in Dongying, and he has many fans who support him, overriding the dissatisfaction of a small number of original fans.

And Chen Shuo's performance exceeded everyone's expectations, and the character of Fujiwara Takumi was very full.

The two-dimensional painting style has always been unable to impress people too much, and now with the release of the movie, the character of Fujiwara Takumi has a specific image in everyone's hearts.

The main thing is that most people like beautiful things.

In this movie, not to mention Chen Shuo, Nagasawa Meimei and Tanaka Chie are all beauties, Cheng Guanxi and Yu Wenle are also handsome guys, and even Zhou Jielun is a more distinctive handsome guy.

Not to mention Andy Lau, a king-level figure.

His influence in Dongying is stronger than that of Chen Shuo and Zhou Jielun.

On July 5th, just as the group ended the publicity of Dongying and planned to go to Bang Country after a day of rest in Fukuoka, Huang Ying received an interview invitation from the crew of "Furious 3".

Chen Shuo asked Liu Weiqiang for a leave of absence and rushed to Tokyo again with Huang Ying.

After coming out of the airport, he saw David waving to him warmly.

"Chen, welcome back!" David hugged him.

The two have also contacted many times in the past few days, but they haven't talked about the interview, but Chen Shuo also heard that through the conversation with him, it seems that they still approve of him.

Looking at his attitude now, I think this line of work should be rewarding.

"David, it looks like this time will surprise me." Chen Shuo said with a smile.

David didn't answer, but invited him to get in the car, saying, "Let's go back first." ”
