Chapter 197 The Shawshank Redemption(1/2)
197 Shawshank Redemption
The filming of "Wolf Warrior" is getting faster and faster.
After this period of running-in, the actors and crew members have become more and more tacit understanding, and the use of various techniques and techniques has become more and more proficient. In addition, everyone is very lucky, so the shooting progress is much faster than when it is started.
So a few days later, Chen Fei and the monks flew back to the capital together.
The movie has not been completed yet, but Chen Fei's scenes have been filmed, and most of the shots of the movie "Wolf Warrior" have also been filmed.
So he can come back, and he still has a lot of work to arrange later, such as post-production supervision, corresponding publicity and distribution work must be put on the agenda, and Shangdun and others are going back, so he also needs to come forward, so he left Wang Tong and the others in the southwest first and came back alone.
The first thing he did when he returned to the capital was to meet Linda and Ruimei first. As for Shangdun, his agent had contacted him with a TV station. They were going to start a program to increase their exposure and popularity. After Shangdun came to China, he found that he was very popular here, so he discussed with the agent and decided to increase publicity in China and expand the market here, so they had their own things to do.
Chen Fei first came to the hotel where Linda and Ruimei stayed.
But his luck was not very good. When he arrived, Linda, Berry, Alice and his group happened to go out. It seemed that they suddenly remembered that they wanted to buy something to take back and just left the hotel.
However, when they left, they called Chen Fei and said that the door of their guest room was not locked, and asked Chen Fei to wait for them inside.
It is impossible for Chen Fei to go back for a while before coming over. The traffic in the capital is too congested, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, which is not cost-effective, so he might as well wait here for a while.
He entered a room first.
Several of them lived in the next room.
Chen Fei entered the first room, and he was shocked when he entered the room, because the room was too messy, even like a garbage dump.
There were a few clothes thrown around the bed, as if they had just changed, with navy blue jackets, white dresses, and slim jeans. In addition, some of the close-fitting clothes worn by women were also lost, and there were shoes on the floor, which was also messy, with a sandal upside down at the entrance.
There were miscellaneous items on the table, including lipstick, eyebrow pencil, tissue paper, and some small notebooks that I don’t know what to do.
Chen Fei didn't know whose guest room this was. He took a look and shook his head secretly, feeling a little amused and crying.
He was about to turn around and go out when he suddenly glanced at a small notebook that fell on the foot of the bed. There was a name on the cover, which was written in a string of English. When he looked closely, it was a berry.
“Is this the guest room for Raspberry?”
Chen Fei was speechless.
That girl looks so beautiful and she is dressed neatly, but in life...
He even heard Shangdun say that Beebring is a little obsessed with cleanliness. He originally thought that Beebring's guest room, which was a little obsessed with cleanliness, must be as clean as their soldiers, but how could he know...
But it can be understood.
Chen Fei was a human being in his two lives and had seen many incredible things. For example, in his previous life, he met many female doctors. He was so obsessed with cleanliness that he had to wipe it with a disinfectant tissue before taking the bus. The first thing he did when he got home was to change his clothes and shoes.
Many people may think that such people must be unreasonable at home, but on the contrary, their home is completely like a pig's nest.
I asked them why this happened. Their reasons are also high-sounding. They are dirty outside and there are bacteria, so they must be obsessed with cleanliness. There are no viruses at home and are not dirty, why am I still like that?
If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is true.
So although Chen Fei was a little surprised at this moment, he did not make any fuss.
He quickly came out of this room and went to another room.
The room was very tidy, with neat slippers, clean beds, and orderly tables.
Chen Fei looked at it and found that there was a set of books on the table, which was about news. There was no doubt that this should be Linda's room.
There seemed to be a little perfume sprayed in the guest room. At this time, people could still smell a faint fragrance inside, refreshing and very pleasant.
"Just wait here."
Chen Fei pulled out the chair and sat down.
He took out the cup from his bag, poured a cup of tea, then turned on his laptop and prepared to write something.
He wants to write an English novel.
Yes, he read that right, he really wanted to write an English novel.
Regarding the future, Chen Fei’s previous plan was to make steady progress, take one step at a time, make a name for himself in China, and then start to capture markets in various parts of Asia and become an Asian superstar. Only then did he extend his tentacles to Europe and the United States and begin to work hard to become a world superstar.
But the May 11 incident made him change this idea.
The May 11 incident made him very famous in the AFC and even once became a hero of the AFC people. It can be said that his current popularity is no less than those AFC superstars.
Of course, this kind of popularity is not sustainable. If it takes a long time, people will definitely forget it.
But at least for now, his popularity is OK.
Therefore, if he seizes this opportunity to do a big fight in the United Nations, he has a high chance of becoming an American League superstar.
If he really gained his foothold in the AFC and became a star of the AFC people, then he could stand on the top of the world at once.
At that time, he could easily open the market of that place whenever he went to any place in the world, such as Seoul, Tokyo. When he became an American movie superstar, people in those places would naturally regard him as a world superstar and would not need to spend a penny to promote it.
Therefore, Chen Fei immediately changed his plan and re-formed his route. He wanted to enter the American League's film market first and become the American League's superstar.
However, it is not easy for a foreigner, especially an Oriental, and a Chinese to gain a foothold in the United Nations League.
In the previous life, even Cheng Long and Li Lian Jie went through a lot of hardships before they could barely gain a foothold.
So what should we do to gain a foothold in the United Nations League and maintain long-term popularity and popularity? Chen Fei thought about it for several days, and finally, he decided to start by writing novels because this is the easiest and the best shortcut.
Why do you say so?
First of all, the threshold for writing novels is the lowest. He doesn’t even need to go to the United Nations League. He just needs to write a pen, or tap on the keyboard, and send an email to the United Nations League;
Secondly, there are countless excellent English novels and scripts in his mind, and he will never use them all in his life;
Moreover, there is no age limit for writing novels. Even if he is seventy-seven or eighty years old, he can still continue to create and continue to lead the cultural market of Meilian.
Last point, once a novel is sold well, it can quickly sell the copyright. When it sells copyright, he can negotiate with the other party, take the opportunity to get some other benefits, and then quickly gain connections and receive corresponding support. With a certain amount of resources, he can direct and act on his own and make some films that can be popular all over the world. At that time, he can join forces with the film company and distribution company he secretly controls and quickly sell her works to any corner.
Even when he gets old, he can still use novels to be active in the cultural market of the United Nations and become a literary and artistic superstar who will never fall.
Of course, at this time, even if he took the initiative to contact some film companies of the United Nations League, he could get some roles. After all, his popularity was there, but the problem is that for various reasons, even if he gave him some roles, he would definitely not be a good role. He was either a villain or an optional passerby. Just like in his previous life, he blew those things that Bingbing participated in the show to the sky. But at the end, he saw that he was just showing his face, he was a passerby!
Being cheated.
If Chen Fei took the initiative to contact the film company of the United Nations at this time, the endings would not be much different, and he would only become a tool for others' publicity and marketing, and he would not get any real benefits.
Therefore, writing novels first and then using copyright as tools to leverage others is the best way.
Of course, there is another reason why Chen Fei made such a choice, that is, he knows Linda.
Linda is the backbone of the Associated Press, and has the ability, courage and certain influence. Their group has a newspaper that publishes novels, and its sales and influence are good. If Linda helps to recommend it, it will definitely be easy to publish it.
In addition, Chen Fei also has another reason why he cannot speak publicly, that is, he wants to slowly integrate some of his own thoughts through these novels. For example, people should learn to think independently and analyze problems dialectically when thinking. Freedom is very important, but there are things in the world that are more important than freedom, etc., and silently integrate these things into the novels, and then influence a group of people.
This is the greatest purpose.
However, Chen Fei had many classic English novels in his mind, but he had to think about which one to write first.
After some careful consideration, he decided to write "The Shawshank Redemption" first.
The background of the novel "Shawshank Redemption" is the 1930s. The era in the original work is not much different from that in the same period as the American League, which makes it easy for readers to feel substituted.
At that time, the political corruption of the United Nations League was already everywhere and even affected prisons.
In the story, the young banker Andy was sentenced to life imprisonment for his wife and her love. Due to the corruption in the prison, he still couldn't be revealed while the truth was about to be revealed. Instead, he suffered various mental and physical destruction in the Shawshank Prison.
However, Andy was not destroyed by his ill-fated fate. After more than 10 years of unremitting excavation like a stone, he finally climbed out of a 500-yard sewage pipe on a night of thunder and rain, regained his freedom, and lived a free life in another country.
In his previous life, "The Shawshank Redemption" won the New York Times bestseller rankings after its launch that year, and has been translated in more than 30 languages worldwide.
The literary achievements of the work "Shawshank Redemption" have been recognized by the world. Shortly after the novel was published, "Shawshank Redemption" was made into a movie and received positive reviews. It was selected as the first among the 250 films by more than 400,000 members in IMDB, and was selected into the list of the top 100 films in the 20th century by the American Film Society.
It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as Chen Fei published this novel, it would cause a sensation in the United Nations League. Soon, many film companies would come to the door. At that time, Chen Fei would find a suitable film company to work with, and he would soon open up a hole in the difficult situation and develop slowly.
This novel not only allows him to gain fame, but also allows him to gain some resources at the same time.
With these two things, it will definitely be much easier for him to make his own movies again.
After he made a name for himself, he brought his team in, then brought more Chinese people in, slowly forming a circle, gradually expanding the influence, and finally becoming a force that can influence the political situation of the United States, just like those Jewish groups, this is Chen Fei's ultimate dream.
So, the task now is to write the story of "Shawshank Redemption" first and then let Linda take it back.
He turned on the computer and started to slam.
At some point, he heard a noisy sound outside. Someone walked towards the guest room here, and he spoke English. One of them was from berry, because she seemed extremely excited and loud.
But Chen Fei pretended to be unable to hear anything.
He wanted Linda to accidentally discover the novel he was writing, and then actively recommend it to him and to recommend it to the Nurete Times.
Linda still knows this person, very righteous and kind. Once she discovers that Chen Fei's "Shawshank Redemption" is so excellent, if she cannot introduce her to readers of the United Nations League, she will feel unable to sleep or eat, just like she has done something bad and can't sleep at night, and her conscience will be very sad. Once she discovers the excellence of "Shawshank Redemption", she will regard promoting this novel as her own responsibility and obligation.
What's more, this novel was written by Chen Fei. Chen Fei is her savior. She has always wanted to repay her, but she has never had a chance.
So Chen Fei had to pretend to be discovered by her inadvertently.
He continued to write and pricked up his ears and listened.
It was indeed the ones who were the ones.
The sound of Linda was the loudest. She rushed to her guest room while screaming as she was exhausted and my wallet was sagging again. Then there was a sound of throwing things around, crackling. Linda's reminder soon came from behind: "Berda, be careful, she is a fragile product!" Soon, Linda shouted again: "Chen? Chen-Chen-Where are you?"
Chen Fei continued to typing on the keyboard.
Soon, Ruimei trotted outside the guest room. When she saw Chen Fei, her blue eyes suddenly became bright and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Hi, Chen, why are you here?"
To be continued...
