Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry - Chapter 527
Facing Chen Feng again, Xu Cheng was a little restrained.
After all, the current Chen Feng and the previous Chen Feng are no longer the same.
When he was filming “Crazy Stone” before, Chen Feng hadn’t really done much in movies. He just invested in Ni Hao’s films. In terms of film and television, he was not even as famous as the TV star Xu Cheng.
Therefore, it was very easy for everyone to communicate at the time. Xu Cheng also took the initiative to talk to Chen Feng about a lot of film issues. Chen Feng has always been more enthusiastic towards him, and the relationship between everyone is pretty good.
But it’s different now.
Although Xu Cheng himself starred in a small-cost comedy movie with good box office results, now Chen Feng has become the main creator of the 4 billion box office movie “The Wandering Earth”. Comparing the two, it is almost one sky and one underground.
Moreover, Xu Cheng has always had his own little self-esteem, and he is also a little worried whether others will still be like that, willing to chat with him.
So Xu Cheng is really nervous.
But the tension is the tension, the problem that needs to be solved still needs to be solved.
With the friendship he formed in the crew of “Crazy Stone”, in any case, he should still be able to talk to Chen Feng.
So, after finally waiting for Chen Feng to have no one around, Xu Cheng still mustered the courage to find him.
……
Seeing Xu Cheng, Chen Feng didn’t change his mentality, he still greeted him very enthusiastically.
Perceiving Chen Feng’s gentle attitude, Xu Cheng was finally relieved a little.
“Mr. Chen, congratulations! The box office of “Wandering Earth” exceeded 4 billion, and it is really good!” Xu Cheng said very politely.
Now, because of the Ping An Investment Company, many people will politely call Chen Feng, Mr. Chen. At the beginning, Chen Feng felt a little awkward, but after thinking about it, this is better than others calling him Mr. Chen. So , He simply let others bark.
But when he heard Xu Cheng yell to himself like this, Chen Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“There is no need for us to be so polite, just call me by my name… Well, “The Journey of Laughter” is also very beautiful, your performance is outstanding!”
After some courtesy, Xu Cheng and Chen Feng finally became acquainted again slowly.
Xu Cheng was surprised to find that Chen Feng’s attitude towards him has not changed at all. It is still the same as in the “Crazy Stone” crew. He listened carefully and discussed seriously. There was no change in his status and status. Attitude.
Chen Feng can have such a mind, which really impresses Xu Cheng.
And when he heard Xu Cheng intends to make his own movie, Chen Feng expressed his keen interest.
“Oh? Do you want to continue to develop the “Journey of Laughter” series of movies?”
Xu Cheng nodded.
“That’s good, because I think this kind of story mode can really further develop more stories. It’s okay to make a series. Even when I traveled to Thailand a few days ago, I already had a general idea…”
Uh, Chen Feng was taken aback, traveling in Thailand? It should be the movie I saw in my dream world.
However, in Chen Feng’s dream world, the pinnacle of the 囧 series, which has achieved great success at the box office, has some problems with its copyright. Later, it was even sued by the predecessor and won.
Chen Feng doesn’t want to see such a thing a second time.
“Your idea is pretty good, but are you sure you can directly use the theme of the “Laughing Journey” series? Will there be any copyright disputes?”
Chen Feng was just a subconscious question. In fact, he still doesn’t know the bad relationship between Xu Cheng and the investors of “Journey of Laughter”.
But just so casually asked, it directly made Xu Cheng a little depressed.
“Hmm… there is indeed a problem. Now I have some conflicts with the producer that have not been dealt with… It is estimated that it will not be easy to solve in the end… So, on the copyright issue… it may really be difficult to solve in the end. …”
Seeing Xu Cheng’s bitter look, Chen Feng smiled: “Since there is no way to fix it, then don’t worry about it anymore, can’t you just start a new stove?”
“Start a new stove?” Xu Cheng was stunned and glanced at Chen Feng, but the expression on his face was not very reconciled.
“Actually…I myself participated in a lot of the “Journey of Laughter”, including the plot and many details. I have contributed. Such a film makes me give up directly… To be honest, I am a bit reluctant.”
Indeed, although the copyright of “A Journey of Laughter” is not in Xu Cheng’s hands, he has really put a lot of effort into the filming process. Now that the film is successful, he has to give up and start over again… He must be Not very willing.
Chen Feng shook his head.
“Starting anew has the benefit of starting anew, at least it is clean, pure, and will not be mixed with the messy things of the past…The things before, after all, belong to the past, there is nothing worthy of nostalgia.”
“Think about it, if you didn’t deal with things well before, and the subsequent new works got into disputes, wouldn’t it be worse?”
“So, I still suggest that you put aside the previous things as soon as possible, and don’t waste time and energy on it~www.mtlnovel.com~Speaking of which, it is inconvenient for Chen Feng to say more.
Although the relationship with Xu Cheng is pretty good, it is only good now, and it is a good deal to be able to speak here.
The next step is mainly to see how Xu Cheng handles these problems himself.
……
Xu Cheng naturally also felt Chen Feng’s sincerity to himself. Although some words made people feel a little uncomfortable, Xu Cheng also knew that Chen Feng was really thinking about him, so he was more grateful now.
directly abandon the basis of “The Journey of Laughter” and start completely from scratch?
Xu Cheng thought for a while, this is indeed a very good way to cut the mess with a sharp knife, but when I think about the hard work and effort I have put in, it still hurts after all.
People always have to face some trade-offs.
Give up your previous efforts for better development in the future?
Or is it because of the previous effort and risk to continue to develop the same series of works?
In the end, Xu Cheng had to make a clear choice.
However, Xu Cheng did not make a final decision until the end of the banquet.
Chen Feng looked at Xu Cheng’s distressed face, and didn’t say any more. After all, he had already said what he could say. If he said more, I’m afraid he would cross the bounds of what should be. That would be bad.
Therefore, Chen Feng and An Ruohua said goodbye to everyone in the first half of the night and left the scene early and went home to sleep.
After all, a regular regimen is still very important.
