Chapter 478 Directing
As an actor, he knows all too well how important popularity is. He became a sensation during the summer when "Troublesome Summer" was a huge hit. If he could strike while the iron is hot and produce a few more excellent works, he would at least be among the top male stars, if not a household name.
However, as the sweltering heat of summer subsided, my own heat also subsided.
Shen Fei was aware of this as well.
Hearing Shen Fei's half-joking remark, Chen Le laughed heartily, patted Shen Fei on the shoulder, and said:
"Don't worry, the reason I asked you to come here is for this matter."
As they spoke, Chen Le handed the script on the table to Shen Fei.
Shen Fei took the script with some doubt and then began to read it.
"What do you think this is?"
"script?"
Shen Fei looked at the script in his hand, a look of doubt on his face.
Immediately, Shen Fei seemed to suddenly realize something, a look of surprise appearing on his face. He looked at Chen Le and said:
"Mr. Chen, you're not preparing another play for me, are you?"
"You're not too stupid, kid."
Upon hearing this, Chen Le smiled, looked at Shen Fei, and spoke.
"Hehe, I knew it, Mr. Chen, you wouldn't forget me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fei chuckled and spoke up.
Chen Le's words filled Shen Fei with joy. He knew that Chen Le was making it up to him.
Although Zhou Yifeng got the lead role in A Chinese Odyssey Part Two, Chen Le didn't forget him and prepared another movie for him.
This filled Shen Fei with emotion, and he looked at Chen Le with gratitude on his face.
"Don't be too happy yet."
Seeing Shen Fei's excited expression, Chen Le smiled and said.
Hearing Chen Le's words, Shen Fei was also taken aback, looking at Chen Le with some doubt, and said:
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"
"Director Feng might not be able to find the time to direct this film, so I'd like to ask for your opinion. You could direct it yourself, with the original Happy Twist crew, or wait until the filming of A Chinese Odyssey Part Two is finished, and then Director Feng can find the time."
Chen Le looked at Shen Fei and spoke.
Shen Fei was also taken aback when he heard Chen Le's words.
This film wasn't directed by Director Feng?
Shen Fei had collaborated with Director Feng many times, and he trusted Director Feng's directing abilities. If it were someone else, Shen Fei would really be a little unsure.
However, upon further reflection, Shen Fei understood Chen Le's meaning.
After all, the popularity of A Chinese Odyssey is currently extremely high, and yesterday Chen Le also announced that A Chinese Odyssey 2 will soon begin filming.
The current "A Chinese Odyssey" has not only surpassed its predecessor "Summer Troubles" but has also entered the top 20 of the box office charts in China. It is only natural to release a sequel at this time.
After all, A Chinese Odyssey is a product of the Chen Group, so it's only natural that the company would focus its efforts on it.
Shen Fei also knew that if he could create a "Journey to the East" universe, the benefits would be unimaginable.
Therefore, it's understandable that the company would focus its efforts on Journey to the East.
However, what surprised Shen Fei even more was that Chen Le would actually give him a chance to direct!
This was something Shen Fei never expected.
After all, he's just an actor. Although he's directed some small productions, they were all second-rate and couldn't compare to this big-budget production.
"Mr. Chen, you...you want me to direct?"
Shen Fei looked at Chen Le and asked in shock.
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Chen Le nodded, looked at Shen Fei, and said:
“Not bad. I think your abilities are more than this. You can try directing this film yourself. If you think it's not good enough, then wait for Director Feng to make time for you. If you think you can do it, then you can direct it yourself.”
"I……"
Upon hearing Chen Le's words, Shen Fei was so excited that he couldn't speak.
He never expected that Chen Le would value him so much and give him a chance to direct!
Shen Fei knew in his heart that this was an opportunity, a chance for him to prove himself.
If he can direct this film well, his status will definitely rise to another level, and he may even join the ranks of top directors!
However, if he directs poorly, his reputation will be ruined.
After all, this is no small production; if it fails, the losses will be unimaginable.
"What? Don't you dare anymore?"
Chen Le said half-jokingly,
Faced with Chen Le's question, Shen Fei hesitated.
After all, directing a movie is different from acting in a movie.
Although he directed many of the dramas produced by Happy Twist in the past, they were low-budget dramas and are different from movies that are about to be released.
Although it was a low-budget film, it was still quite challenging for Shen Fei.
Shen Fei wasn't stupid; he knew what the consequences would be if he failed.
Therefore, Shen Fei hesitated when faced with Chen Le's question.
Seeing Shen Fei's hesitant expression, Chen Le smiled and said:
"What? Are you scared?"
"I……"
Upon hearing this, Shen Fei opened his mouth as if to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"It's okay, I believe you."
At this moment, Chen Le smiled, looked at Shen Fei, and said:
“Although the investment in this film is not large, I believe you have the ability. And even if it fails, it’s not a big deal. After all, it’s your first time directing a film, so it’s normal to have some problems. Just take it as an experience.”
Hearing Chen Le's words, Shen Fei took a deep breath, looked at Chen Le, and said seriously:
"Mr. Chen, I'm willing to give it a try."
"it is good!"
Hearing Shen Fei's words, Chen Le smiled, looked at Shen Fei, and said:
"I knew it, you wouldn't let me down."
"Then go back and prepare. I'll transfer the filming funds to you in a few days."
Chen Le said cleanly and efficiently.
"Yes, Mr. Chen!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Fei nodded and spoke.
"You should go back first and prepare yourself properly."
"Yes, Mr. Chen."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fei nodded and turned to leave the office.
Watching Shen Fei's departing figure, Chen Le smiled.
Chen Le had high hopes for Shen Fei; otherwise, he wouldn't have given him the opportunity to direct.
Although Shen Fei has never directed a film, Chen Le believes that Shen Fei has the potential.
After leaving the company, Shen Fei immediately returned home.
Sitting on the sofa, Shen Fei was still a little excited.
The thought that he would have the opportunity to direct a movie made Shen Fei tremble with excitement.
You know, this is a script written by President Chen!
Chen Le's talent is already evident to all. Shen Fei has a premonition that this script will become the stepping stone for him to become a top-tier comedy star!
