Chapter 107 Oda's Surprise, Understanding
Guo Fan from Qingdao led Chen Jingyuan to the No. 2 tent that had just been set up, which was a space capsule scene.
The space station features areas such as the main control room and hibernation area, and the cool-toned metal creates an eye-catching industrial feel.
"Director Guo, this set design is amazing."
Chen Jingyuan didn't hold back his praise; it was indeed quite amazing.
He had seen "The Wandering Earth," but the actual scenes were indeed more breathtaking.
"Thanks to Mr. Chen's investment!"
Guo Fan said with gratitude on his face!
If it weren't for meeting this person and securing joint investment from two departments of Tencent...
"The Wandering Earth" is definitely not going to be that smooth sailing. Many film and television companies shook their heads as soon as they heard about this type of film and the investment.
In particular, Tencent is very generous with its money transfers, which greatly speeds up the setup process once you have the funds.
Guo Fan was still very grateful to Chen Jingyuan for this one thing.
The importance of funding for a science fiction film is self-evident.
Most film and television companies don't have that kind of deep pockets; even investments might be made in installments.
Although Chen Jingyuan came here this time to see the equipment used in "The Wandering Earth".
But there's one more thing, and that's the female lead!
The female lead in the first "Wandering Earth" movie should be Han Duoduo, who was adopted, but if a studio member is to be cast, the roles need to be adjusted.
We could arrange for early adoption, raising Han Duoduo's age to 16 or 17.
This way, both Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei will be able to star in the film.
This is the only matter that requires Guo Fan's consent, but fortunately, Guo Fan is not someone who doesn't understand social etiquette.
One character, though important, still had their backstory changed.
Moreover, Han Duoduo is not a character in the novel; she was added during the film adaptation.
Slightly changing your age won't have much of an impact.
The outcome might even be better, partly because being a bit more rebellious, including the fact that shouting slogans won't make people think of you as a child.
Perhaps that makes more sense!
"Mr. Chen, let's settle on this."
After discussing it for a while, Guo Fan did not refuse.
The female lead wasn't designed to have much acting skill; she could just play herself.
Why not give President Chen some face? He owes you such a big favor.
As for the female lead, Guo Fan is acceptable as long as the casting isn't too bad.
Moreover, Mr. Chen did not interfere with other roles, which is a good point.
After the two reached an agreement, Chen Jingyuan looked very happy.
With the huge box office success of "The Wandering Earth," playing the female lead was very beneficial for both Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei.
In particular, box office performance is more related to the star power of the actors!
After securing the female lead role in "The Wandering Earth," Chen Jingyuan considered who else should take the role.
Choose one between Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei.
Ultimately, Chen Jingyuan might lean towards Tian Xiwei, because Tian Xiwei's appearance is relatively youthful.
Since arriving in Hengdian last year, Chen Keke has grown rapidly.
She's long gone from being a naive girl; in fact, she looks more mature now.
Xiao Tian is more suitable, and we'll arrange other resources for Chen Keke.
After Tian Xiwei finishes filming "A Love So Beautiful", she can start joining a new production team.
Some training needs to be started in advance, including running, weightlifting, spacesuit adaptation, basic movements, and so on.
The sets for "The Wandering Earth" will probably be mostly completed by the end of the Chinese New Year.
Filming will very likely begin then!
There might not be much time left for Tian Xiwei to train.
With so much investment, the pressure must be considerable, and Guo Fan doesn't want to delay for too long.
In theory, if they act quickly, there's still a good chance it will be released during the 18 New Year's Day period.
In the end, it all comes down to having enough funds!
It's practically impossible for Tian Xiwei to attend school this semester.
After visiting the filming studio set for "The Wandering Earth," Chen Jingyuan did not linger.
The planned visits have already been completed, and the discussions with Guo Fan have yielded results.
There's absolutely no need for me to stay any longer!
Chen Jingyuan from Zhuji City arrived quietly with his men without notifying the film crew.
In preparation for the visit, Qiao Yujie had already prepared a whole truckload of snacks and drinks.
These are the most practical items, and since there are a lot of them, everyone can get quite a bit.
When Chen Jingyuan arrived, the entire crew was taking a short break in the afternoon.
"President Chen is here!"
The crew members immediately spotted Chen Jingyuan and the others, and recognized them instantly.
Director Liu Chang and the crew were quite familiar with Chen Jingyuan beforehand.
The news quickly reached the film crew, and Liu Chang was the first to stand up to greet them.
"Brother's here!?"
Chen Keke, who was talking to Tian Xiwei, couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
The two of them quickly got up, especially Chen Keke, who hadn't seen him for almost a month and really missed him.
As for Liu Yang and many other members of Tianhe Studio, there's even less to say.
"elder brother!"
"Brother Chen."
"Mr. Chen!"
Facing the large group of people who came to greet him, Chen Jingyuan smiled and gave Chen Keke a hug.
"Director Liu, it's been a long time."
"Coco, how are things on set?"
"Oda, are you adjusting well to life on set?"
After exchanging pleasantries with many people, Chen Jingyuan and the crew members left space for the brother and sister.
Of course, there's also Tian Xiwei, whom Chen Keke is holding onto, but she's considered one of their own.
"Brother, I'm doing great on set."
"It was Xiaotian who got criticized by the director several times."
"However, under my guidance, she played the lead role very well."
Chen Keke recounted her experiences on set in detail, her words becoming increasingly exaggerated.
At least Chen Jingyuan didn't believe it at all—that Chen Keke could actually have the ability to instruct Tian Xiwei!?
I know my younger sister Chen Jingyuan quite well; her acting skills are just so-so.
It's impossible to say that he acted badly when he tried, let alone that he taught others.
However, seeing how obedient Tian Xiwei is to Chen Keke, she probably won't object.
"I see!"
Chen Jingyuan spoke slowly, his words calm and even.
He could still tell that Chen Keke was doing very well on set.
Actually, Chen Jingyuan was just asking casually, since the entire crew consisted of people he knew or people who worked for Tianhe.
"Brother, your attitude is too cold."
"I'm your own sister."
Chen Ke pulled Chen Jingyuan aside, her words tinged with complaint, "I have some good news for you."
Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan suddenly spoke up at this moment, instantly piquing the interest of Chen Keke and the other person.
"What news?!"
Chen Keke hurriedly asked, her voice full of curiosity.
Chen Jingyuan didn't hide anything and directly told everyone about "The Wandering Earth".
This is a sci-fi movie with an investment of over 500 million, so the female lead's importance goes without saying.
However, when Chen Jingyuan gave this role to Tian Xiwei, even Tian Xiwei was stunned!
She had previously thought the surprise was for Chen Keke during her conversation with Chen Jingyuan.
Having already secured the lead role, it should be Chen Keke's turn.
Tian Xiwei truly never expected that Brother Chen would give her the lead role in a sci-fi movie that cost 500 million yuan to produce.
"Really for me!?"
"Brother Chen, let's give this role to Coco."
Tian Xiwei looked a little dazed and surprised, but she quickly came to her senses.
"No need, Oda!"
Chen Keke spoke up without hesitation, saying that she had no objection to her brother's arrangements.
There must be a reason behind your brother's arrangements; just trust him.
"Coco doesn't fit the image of the female lead."
"Xiaotian, you don't need to refuse. As for Coco, you don't need to worry."
"Next, I'll arrange for her to appear on more variety shows."
Chen Jingyuan explained that the role still needs to be a good fit, otherwise a movie might be ruined.
Since getting involved with "Back to Field" and Zhang Lihua, the deputy director of Hunan TV.
Chen Keke can also participate in some Hunan TV variety shows, since she is not a regular guest but just a guest star.
Hunan TV is still willing to give them face!
For example, Chen Keke can participate in Hunan TV variety shows such as "Happy Camp" and "Who's the Murderer".
Don't forget that Tencent also has quite a few variety shows.
After participating in one round, even if she's just a guest, Chen Keke's schedule is basically complete.
Maintaining popularity is not a problem at all; the rest can be arranged next year.
"Brother, I'll listen to you!"
"I'm quite willing to participate in variety shows."
"Variety shows can actually increase popularity quite a bit."
Chen Keke looked quite satisfied with her older brother's arrangements.
Having been a regular guest on the variety show "Back to Field," she is still very interested in variety shows.
Seeing his sister's statement, Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but secretly give her a thumbs up!
It's clear that Chen Keke has a clear understanding: she wants to be a star, not an actress.
There are still differences!
Acting can make you a star, but you don't necessarily have to act to become a star.
