Chapter 188 The Chosen Son

After the film's debut at the Venice International Film Festival, the film's theme concert at the Workers' Stadium, and Feng Xiaogang's win for Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards,

On December 12, the movie "Mr. Six" held its world premiere at the BJ Water Cube.

Yes, this movie has not been released yet, but it has already participated in the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. Feng Xiaogang also won the Best Actor Award at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. It is only now officially released in China.
Feng Xiaogang was able to win the Best Actor award not only because of his own wonderful performance, but also because of Huayi's behind-the-scenes public relations. None of this affected his pretense.
"I think I should win the Best Newcomer Award because I'm still a new actor who just debuted. If I'm given the Best Actor award directly, I won't have room for improvement."

Even Feng Xiaogang did not attend the Golden Horse Awards this year, but instead attended the "Old Cannon" film theme concert at the Workers Stadium that day.
Feng Xiaogang said: "I'm very sorry to the professional actors. I'm sorry. I won't act in the future. If I win the award again, it will completely take up the quota, which is not good!"

However, Lin Feng did not participate in the previous activities of "Old Cannon". He was filming "Zhu Xian". The main reason was that he was not very good at singing. He even participated in the New Year's Eve party of the satellite TV station, so as not to embarrass himself.
After all, his salary for "Mr. Six" was only 600 million, which is a bit too low compared to Lin Feng's current worth. Apart from the necessary publicity and roadshows, he doesn't need to put in so much effort.

This premiere did not disappoint the audience, in addition to producer Wang Zhongjun, producer Wang Zhong, director Guan Hu, and leading actor Feng Xiaogang,

Lead actors Lin Feng, Wu Qian, Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Liang Jing, Bai Jugang, Shang Yuxian, Lu Nuo, Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi, Lian Yiming and others are all present.
Not only did they invite big-name stars such as Fan Bingbing, Li Chen, Na Ying, Yan Ni, Ge You, Bai Baihe and others to canvass for votes, they also invited famous directors such as Yin Li, Cao Baoping, Teng Huatao, and Gu Changwei to help out.
The fact that so many famous stars, directors, and big names in the film and television industry gathered at the premiere of a movie is enough to prove the huge commercial appeal of the movie "Mr. Six" and also proves Huayi's rising status.

The slogan "Sixth Master has an appointment, it's hard to get one; north of BJ, the ultimate battle!" was displayed on the nearly 400-square-meter IMAX screen in the Water Cube.

The premiere of "Old Cannon" was star-studded, with 4000 people invited to watch the film together, and the tickets were sold out.

It is said that the price of a grandstand ticket that night had been scalped to 600 yuan, while the price of a venue ticket had exceeded 1000 yuan, which is enough to show the enthusiasm of the fans.

"For today's premiere, everyone has waited for a long time to see our movie. Thank you for your hard work." Feng Xiaogang caused cheers from the audience when he appeared on the red carpet.

Facing all the questions from the media, he played Tai Chi, "This is not a place to chat. Even if you speak, no one will listen. So I am very sorry."

However, compared to the cheers from Lin Feng and Wu Qian, Feng Xiaogang was still several levels behind. After all, most of the people here were fans of Lin Feng and Wu Qian.

This is also the reason why Huayi Films invited the two to star in this movie. When the two appeared on stage, they received the most cheers and applause.

Wu Qian looked very fashionable in his Burberry 2016 Spring/Summer collection, otherwise he could be considered the most fashionable of the “Four Returnees”.

However, it was defeated in front of Lin Feng's high-end customized LV. Lin Feng is not kidding when he holds the titles of "double luxury" and "the first spokesperson for domestic luxury accessories".

What's more, whether in terms of popularity or appearance, let alone Wu Qian, even Wu Qian and Lu Han combined are no match for Lin Feng.

So when Lin Feng came on stage, the cheers reached their peak, "Lin Feng, Lin Feng! I love you!" "Lin Feng, Lin Feng, look here! Look here!"

Seeing how popular Lin Feng was, Wang Zhonglei, chairman of Huayi, couldn't help but say to Feng Xiaogang, "Look at this popularity. Mr. Six is ​​sure to be a box office success!"

In fact, the current pre-sale box office of "Old Cannon" is not high. After all, it is a commercial film disguised as an artistic film, or even more of an artistic film, and it has a strong BJ culture.

Moreover, the current publicity focus of "Old Cannon" is on Feng Xiaogang, after all, he just won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, which makes him a very good publicity hotspot;
However, seeing how popular Lin Feng is, Wang Zhonglei thinks that maybe he should change the focus of the promotion of "Old Cannon".
And Wang Zhonglei has other ideas about Lin Feng, "Xiaogang, I want to sign this Lin Feng to Huayi, what do you think?"

"Lin Feng? I think he's good, a very promising young actor. I'm also quite optimistic about him. You can give it a try!"

In fact, Feng Xiaogang was not as calm as he appeared when he saw Lin Feng again. He never dreamed that when they met again, Lin Feng would change so much. Although he knew that Lin Feng was a good seedling when he saw him act for the first time, he had acting skills, was mature and low-key, and would create a world in the entertainment industry sooner or later,
But Feng Xiaogang never expected that someone could become famous so quickly?

Moreover, this kind of popularity is not just a passing fad, otherwise how could he be called the “pioneer of top-tier popularity”!

I remember the movie "Old Cannon" was shot around this time last year. It's no exaggeration to say that,

Although Lin Feng was already quite famous at that time, he was a complete junior compared to Feng Xiaogang.

Moreover, Feng Xiaogang did not take this too seriously. After all, he had no serious works to his credit, only two films, "Swords of Legends" and "Come on, Mr. Shu". No matter how popular he was, it was just a castle in the air.

Over the years, Feng Xiaogang has seen too many artists flash by like shooting stars, shining for a while and then falling into obscurity, so he didn't treat Lin Feng any differently.

On the contrary, during the filming of the movie "Old Cannon", Feng Xiaogang's impression of Lin Feng changed a lot.

Especially in the "father and son reconciliation" scene, Lin Feng acted with himself and was not at a disadvantage at all.

It was really the first time in all these years that he had seen such a young actor with such mature acting skills and such popularity.
He believed in his heart that this junior was really talented, and basically as long as he didn't do anything reckless, he would definitely become very famous in the future.

However, he judged that Lin Feng was really mature enough so he did not dare to neglect it. It would take at least three to five years.

But who would have thought that after only one year, Lin Feng had grown to the point where he had to respect him, otherwise Huayi would also want to poach Lin Feng!
On the one hand, Lin Feng is making steady progress in the field of TV dramas. In addition to "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "My Sunshine", he also starred in two hit dramas, "The Journey of Flower" and "Nirvana in Fire".

One hit can be considered luck, two hits can be considered fluke, but three or four hits in a row can no longer be simply attributed to luck, it is definitely a reflection of strength.
On the other hand, Lin Feng's achievements in the film industry were beyond everyone's expectations.
This year's biggest dark horse movie "Charlotte's Troubles" has definitely created a miracle. It is the second highest-grossing movie in film history. This is no joke!
Even now, "Charlotte's Troubles" is still in theaters, but the box office has basically reached its ceiling, and now the daily box office revenue is only tens of thousands, which can be ignored.
18.6 billion is the final box office result of "Charlotte's Troubles", which is a very remarkable result.
Not only did it surpass "Lost in Hong Kong"'s 15 billion in the end, it also became the runner-up of the year and second in film history, second only to "Monster Hunt"'s 24 billion.

You should know that the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" in the previous life was 14.44 billion, and now it is 18.6 billion, an increase of more than 4 million.

The box office of "Lost in Hong Kong" was 16.11 billion in the previous life, and now it is 15 billion, which is more than 1 million less. This "negative and positive" is the box office appeal brought by Lin Feng.

Otherwise, now there are people who offer 5000 million for movies and over million for TV series (TV series have more episodes and the pay is more) to invite Lin Feng, but Lin Feng simply ignores them.

This is also the most enviable thing about Lin Feng now. He chooses films based on his personal interests. If you want to throw money at ordinary people, you won't be able to do anything about it.

It's really strange, why is Lin Feng so discerning, everything he shoots becomes a hit?

Not to mention movies and TV dramas, even the "Running Man" he casually participated in is the hottest variety show now.

Feng Xiaogang is not a person who believes in fate. He also scoffs at the so-called luck. But after meeting Lin Feng today,
I can't help but start to wonder, is there really someone in this world who is blessed by God? The Chosen One!
