Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For a time, relevant reports and news about the film "Connect to the Future" occupied a large space in entertainment newspapers. Huayu's promotion made the film famous even before filming started.

    ¨D¨D¨D¨D

    The director of the film "Connect to the Future" has been decided, and the next step is to determine the starring candidate.  This film was produced by Li Haitao and had basically nothing to do with Chen Feng in terms of filming. However, Li Haitao and Christopher Nolan still asked Chen Feng to come out when they were discussing the lead role.

    Li Haitao is thinking from the company's perspective. After all, Chen Feng is the chairman of the board of directors of Huayu. Although he usually doesn't take care of things, he can't be left idle if something like this can bring him in.  Christopher Nolan was more concerned about the filming of the film, and he also wanted to hear the opinions of Chen Feng, an authoritative person.

    Christopher Nolan proposed several candidates one after another, but Li Haitao was not satisfied with any of them. In his opinion, these actors were not big enough and their box office appeal was limited.  When the two of them were discussing, Chen Feng, in addition to listening carefully to their opinions, was also paying attention to Nolan's expression.

    He noticed that Christopher Nolan¡¯s favorite actors were all British actors.  Although Christopher Nolan has a dual international background in the United States and the United Kingdom, and his youth can be divided into two stages: Chicago and London, judging from his always unsmiling expression, the Thames River should nourish him far more than Lake Michigan.  the power of.

    This is not difficult to explain why Christopher Nolan has a soft spot for British actors, which Chen Feng can understand.  But from Akers Li Haitao's point of view, he is more concerned about the film's commercial gains. For this type of film that relies on plot to win, the role of big-name stars is particularly important.

    Although the two are personal friends, they have their own opinions on this issue and refuse to give in.  The two couldn't stop arguing, and finally looked at Chen Feng who was watching the excitement.

    Chen Feng, who was holding the coffee cup and preparing to put it to his mouth, was stared at by the two men.  The movements of his hands couldn't help but pause.  He couldn't drink the coffee, but he wasn't ready to speak until the two of them looked a little embarrassed.  Then he coughed twice: "Actually, I think your persistence is reasonable"

    This obviously similar beginning aroused dissatisfaction between Li Haitao and Christopher Nolan. Finding that the two of them looked unkind, Chen Feng smiled.  "I do have a compromise candidate"

    Before he finished speaking, Li Haitao and Nolan asked in unison: "Who?"

    "Leonardo DiCaprio."

    Li Haitao and Nolan looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

    Chen Feng looked at Nolan: "First of all, I know that although Leonardo is not a British actor, he was born in the United States, but he is of European descent. In DreamWorks, he is one of the few movie stars who is also popular with audiences in the UK."

    He then turned his attention to Li Haitao: "And he should also meet the company's requirements for a big-name movie star."

    "The most important thing is" Chen Feng said, "Leonardo is one of the few smart people in DreamWorks."

    "Leonardo is indeed a good candidate, but I heard that he has very high requirements for the script." Nolan's concerns played into Li Haitao's mind, and he nodded in agreement.

    Leonardo is one of the few DreamWorks movie stars who knows how to make good use of his resources.  He made many famous movies in the 1990s, but it was "Romantic Ocean" that really made him famous.  After that film, he can do a lot of movies.  Be a superhero many times.  But his dedication to film quality puts all his fellow actors to shame.

    Of course, it took Leonardo several years to realize that he had assets. This was probably because of the lingering side effects after starring in "La Ocean".  Before "Sea Romance", Leonardo was mainly balancing between two identities: one was the handsome guy on the cover of a teen magazine, and the other was the darling of film critics.  But after that big ship fell silent.  The balance between actors and idols has also been broken.

    To this day, Leonardo still regrets that he took over the filming of "La Ocean" because this movie made him an international superstar. However, it was also because of this movie that he was unable to do what he wanted to do and could not play himself.  The role you want to play.  Leonardo hopes he can become as powerful as Jack Nicholson.  He is not an idol boy who relies on his reputation to make a living, but the fame of "Romantic Ocean" once imprisoned his dream.

    Leonardo didn't want his abilities to always be unrecognized because of his appearance, so after "Romantic Ocean" he turned down a lot of roles that could serve as heroes in the minds of girls, and took on small-budget roles.  The artistic film "The Beach" produced, just like this, after experiencing a brief trough period, Leonardo finally gained public recognition.?Successfully transformed from an idol niche to a powerful superstar.

    Now Leonardo has finally learned, after many lessons, that no matter how minor his complaints about fame are, they will be interpreted as willfulness.  He stopped talking about his private life and learned to cover his face when paparazzi approached so that they wouldn't get anything.  This makes him a boring celebrity, a cautious man, and an almost maniacally focused movie star.

    The filming of "Connect to the Future" has basically been confirmed, and Chen Feng no longer focuses on this movie. As for himself, he also has his own plans. As early as a few months ago, he had already prepared to start filming.  An unplugged concert can also be considered as making up for those who support him and fulfilling one of their wishes.  As soon as this news was released by Huayu, it immediately received an enthusiastic response from Chen Feng's fans. The 20,000 tickets for the concert that were pre-sold online were sold out in just six hours. On Chen Feng's official forum,  Fans also kept asking Huayu to add more tickets. Unfortunately, due to the venue, there was really no way. In the end, Li Haitao negotiated with the person in charge of the venue and managed to get 5,000 tickets.

    These 5,000 tickets only lasted for half an hour before they were all sold out. For this reason, Li Haitao even made a cruel joke on Chen Feng, claiming that if he had known that there would be such sales, it would be better to switch to a larger one.  Wouldn't it be better to do it at the venue?  However, Chen Feng could only smile bitterly in response to this. To be honest, even Chen Feng himself did not expect that the ticket sales would be so exaggerated. After all, he had not released a record or held a concert for a long time.

    Twenty-five thousand tickets were sold online, plus 5,000 tickets reserved for the day of the concert. This 'unplugged' concert with a total of 30,000 people was already half a success before it even started.  , Chen Feng has been very excited for this for a long time. This is also the first time Chen Feng has held a concert. Even every guest has to be personally confirmed by Chen Feng. This is enough to show that Chen Feng is very interested in this concert.  The importance of the concert.

    The closer to the start of the concert, the more Chen Feng shut himself up at home, looking for new music while reviewing old songs. Unplugged performances are the greatest test of singing skills and a singer's physical strength. After all,  There is a real orchestra on the scene. There is no pre-recorded background music, and you can't be lazy at any time. Chen Feng has put in a lot of hard work for this. In addition to his daily morning run, he even has to stay in the gym for a long time.  time.

    Chen Feng himself enjoys the hardships, and such intense exercise can also give Chen Feng a great psychological hint to a certain extent, making him feel more confident at the concert, so he is tired after all, but in Chen Feng's heart  Not at all tired.

    Time passed by, and finally it was the night of the concert. On this night, the Hanggang Art Center was full of stars.  This concert also gathered almost half of the popular artists in the entire Chinese recording industry. Watching the high-end cars driving towards the special passage, the fans who had been waiting outside for a long time would burst into exclamations and speculate.  Who is the shining star in the car?

    The venue was also very busy. The staff were constantly checking the sound equipment, musical instruments and other miscellaneous things. After all, this was Chen Feng¡¯s concert. Huayu used the highest-standard layout and it must be foolproof.

    "Music director, go check the instruments and the piano. Why haven't they been moved to the stage yet?"

    "Speed ??to adjust the pitch of the instrument, pay attention to the sound on the other end, and get a small fan for the lighting engineer upstairs to avoid heatstroke."

    "And people on the other end, hurry up and put up the names of the guest seats as I prepared them. The guests are about to enter the venue. Why are you standing there stupidly?"

    In the center of the stage, Li Haitao held a microphone and constantly directed the staff to set up the scene and check whether the equipment of each department was normal. Although there was enough air conditioning in the room, Li Haitao was still sweating. At this moment, he had already  I took off the little suit I was wearing just now and put on my shirt, but in this environment of more than 20 degrees, I still felt very hot.

    "Brother Tao, take a break, they are all veterans, no problem." Chen Feng had been taking deep breaths at the edge of the stage to relieve stress, but seeing Li Haitao sweating so much, he immediately asked him to come down.

    "No, Afeng, I won't worry if you don't watch." Li Haitao wanted to wave his hand to refuse, but was forced to stop by Chen Feng, so he had no choice but to explain: "This is your first concert, just in case  If any mistake affects your condition and causes the concert to be unsuccessful, then my fault will be huge, so I have to do every detail carefully."

    "Then I have to drink some water first. Besides, with Brother Tao by my side, I don't feel any pressure at all." Chen Feng said with a smile, not looking worried at all.  (To be continued)
