Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Facing Chen Feng again, Xu Cheng was a little cautious.

After all, Chen Feng now is no longer the same as Chen Feng before.

When he was filming "Crazy Stone", Chen Feng actually had not done much in movies. He had just invested in Ni Hao's film. In terms of film and television, he was not even as famous as TV star Xu Cheng.

Therefore, it was very easy for everyone to communicate at that time. Xu Cheng also took the initiative to talk to Chen Feng about many issues about the movie. Chen Feng has always been enthusiastic about him, and the relationship between us is pretty good.

But it's different now.

Although Xu Cheng himself starred in a small-budget comedy movie that did well at the box office, Chen Fengdu has now become the main creator of a movie with a box office of 4 billion in "The Wandering Earth". Comparing the two, they are like heaven and earth.

Moreover, Xu Cheng has always had his own small self-esteem, and he is also a little worried whether others will still be willing to chat with him like that.

So Xu Cheng was really nervous.

However, tension is tension, and the problems that need to be solved still need to be solved.

With the friendship he forged on the set of "Crazy Stone", he should be able to talk to Chen Feng no matter what.

So, after finally waiting until there was no one around Chen Feng, Xu Cheng mustered up the courage to come over.

…

Seeing Xu Cheng, Chen Feng didn't have any change in mentality, and still greeted him enthusiastically.

Sensing Chen Feng's gentle attitude, Xu Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations! The box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded 4 billion, and it's really good to watch!" Xu Cheng said very politely.

Now, because of Ping An Investment Company, many people would politely call Chen Feng Mr. Chen. At first, Chen Feng felt a little awkward, but after thinking about it, it was better than others calling him Teacher Chen all the time, so , he simply let others scream.

But when he heard Xu Cheng also call him that, Chen Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"There is no need to be so polite between us. Just call me by my name... Well, "The Journey of Laughter" is also very beautiful. Your performance is outstanding!"

After some polite exchanges, Xu Cheng and Chen Feng finally slowly became familiar with each other again.

Xu Cheng was surprised to find that Chen Feng's attitude towards him had not changed at all. He was still listening carefully and discussing seriously as he was on the set of "Crazy Stone". He did not change his attitude toward others at all because of his change in status. Attitude.

Xu Cheng really admired Chen Feng for having such a big heart.

When he heard that Xu Cheng was interested in making his own movie, Chen Feng even expressed his strong interest.

"Oh? Do you want to continue developing the "Journey of Laughter" series of movies?"

Xu Cheng nodded.

"Yes, because I feel that this kind of story mode can really be further developed into a better story, and it might not be a bad idea to make it into a series. I even had a rough idea when I traveled to Thailand a few days ago..."

Um, Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, traveling to Thailand? It must be the movie I watched in my dream world.

However, in Chen Feng's dream world, the pinnacle of the "囧" series that achieved great success at the box office had some copyright issues. Later, the previous film was even sued in court and won.

Chen Feng didn't want to see such a thing happen a second time.

"Your idea is quite good, but are you sure you can directly use the theme of the "Journey of Laughter" series? Will there be any copyright disputes?"

Chen Feng just asked subconsciously,

In fact, he is still not very clear about the bad relationship between Xu Cheng and the investors of "The Journey of Laughter".

But just such a casual question made Xu Cheng feel a little depressed.

"Well... there is indeed a problem. I have some conflicts with the producer that haven't been resolved yet... I guess it won't be easy to resolve in the end... So, regarding the copyright issue... it may not be easy to resolve in the end. …”

Seeing the miserable look on Xu Cheng's face, Chen Feng smiled: "Since there's no way to solve it, then don't worry about it anymore. Can't you just start a new one?"

"Start a new one?" Xu Cheng was stunned and glanced at Chen Feng, but the expression on his face was not very willing.

"Actually... I also participated a lot in "The Journey of Laughter", including the plot and many details. I contributed. Such a film made me give up directly... To be honest, I was a bit reluctant to let it go."

Indeed, although the copyright of "The Journey of Laughter" is not in Xu Cheng's hands now, he really put a lot of effort into the filming process. Now that the film is successful, he is asked to give up and start a new one... He must be Not very willing.

Chen Feng shook his head.

"Starting a new one has the advantage of starting a new one. At least it is clean and pure, and will not be mixed with the messy things of the past... The things of the past belong to the past after all, and there is nothing worth remembering."

"Think about it, wouldn't it be worse if you didn't handle the previous matters well and caused disputes in subsequent new works?"

"So, I still suggest that you put aside the past things as soon as possible and stop wasting time and energy on it. "

Having said that, it was inconvenient for Chen Feng to say anything more.

Although the relationship with Xu Cheng is not bad, it is only good now. To be able to talk to each other at this point is considered a deep friendship.

The next main thing is to see how Xu Cheng handles these problems.

…

Xu Cheng naturally felt Chen Feng's sincerity towards him. 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.

Just abandon the foundation of "The Journey of Laughter" and start from scratch completely?

Xu Cheng thought about it and realized that this was indeed a good way to cut through the mess quickly, but when he thought about all the effort and effort he had put in, he still felt a little distressed after all.

People always have to face some issues of trade-offs.

For the sake of better development in the future, give up your previous efforts?

Or take the risk to continue developing the same series of works for the sake of your previous efforts?

No matter what, Xu Cheng has to make a clear choice in the end.

However, Xu Cheng had not made the final decision until the banquet was over.

Chen Feng looked at Xu Cheng's depressed face and didn't say anything more. After all, he had already said everything he could say. If he continued to say more, he might have crossed the proper limit, which would not be good.

Therefore, Chen Feng and An Ruohua said goodbye to everyone in the middle of the night, left the venue early and went home to sleep.

After all, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a regular schedule is still very important.
