The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 179 The New Year

At the beginning of the new year, the signing of "Langya Bang" has been completed, and Hong Chen's male lead has been confirmed.

This year, Hong Chen's plan is to accumulate some word-of-mouth in film and television dramas first.

"Langya Bang" was filmed at the end of February, and Hong Chen still has more than a month left after the year.

In the past few days, he has been handling some business in his studio.

After all, you are the boss, so you have to understand the work.

"Currently, Lu Jia and Monk Yuyan are the only ones signed in the artist department. According to your request, we would rather be short than indiscriminate. You will be responsible after signing the contract, so I haven't signed anyone else for the time being."

"We are using resources to train both of them. Lu Jia's career has been on the rise. Last year, he made a profit of 120 million for the company. Shang Yuyan has not yet appeared on the screen, so she is not well-known yet. Waiting for "Tang Detective" 2" was released, and there was a wave of publicity in the press release, so there should be no problem."

Ge Chen still looked very capable, reporting on his work.

Lu Jia and Monk Yuyan are just starting out, so they haven't had such a good profit yet.The income of an artist is uncertain. For example, if a drama suddenly becomes a big hit, it is possible that the net worth will be directly promoted to tens of millions.

Of course, the premise is that the artist can obtain such resources. If he wants to be the number one female in a film and television drama, the investment may exceed tens of millions.

"Well, okay, yes, hire a few acting teachers, or find some acting courses to train them from time to time, after all, only those with acting skills can have better resources." Hong Chen is very concerned about the two artists under his banner growth.

"Understood." Ge Chen wrote it down silently.

"The company just started last year, and the temporary investment is only "Detective Chinatown 2", and the income will wait until the end of the Spring Festival. The initial investment next year is "Nirvana in Fire", which has already signed a contract and become a joint producer. The later investment is still sorting out .” At this time, Wang Shaoqi also said.

"Okay, hard work." Hong Chen nodded.

"There is still one and a half months before you join the group of "Langya Bang". You can use this time to see if you need to use it. If you focus on shooting your scenes, this time is more than enough to make another movie." Ge Chen said again.

Now Hong Chen participates in almost three film and television works every year, which is not a high proportion among artists.

Of course, there are also many film and television stars who don’t work so hard. They take a long break after filming. They earn enough money by filming one movie a year, and the rest is just playing, so the mass production is less.

For Hong Chen, he still likes filming.

"Forget about the movie. I still have plans in the future. I only have half a month's free time. I'll see if I can find some other shows." Hong Chen asked.

"A variety show? Many variety shows are also inviting us. For example, "Run, Brother", "Youth Travel Notes" and the like, by the way, "Let's Fall in Love" also intends to invite you and Yan Yileng to do a show together. program."

"No, entertainment-type variety shows are fine, I'm still not very interested." Hong Chen immediately waved his hand and refused.

"Well, okay, let's decide on the cover of two issues of the magazine." Ge Chen was talking, when suddenly, her phone rang.

Ge Chen didn't look at the number, and immediately hung up the phone.

Now work is equivalent to a meeting. Although it is not so formal, respect for the boss is still necessary.One of Ge Chen's great strengths is that he knows his position.

Now that she is Hong Chen's subordinate, she will do well what her subordinates should do.

"There's nothing else to do anyway, let's go." Hong Chen signaled that everyone can disband, and then he asked again, "Is Shang Yuyan in the company now?"

After filming "Detective Chinatown 2", Shang Yuyan returned to the company. According to the contract of the brokerage company, an artist like her usually arranges her daily life and itinerary. Of course, her subjective wishes will be fully respected.

Even if she wants to do what she wants, the company will not interfere.

"Well, I'm doing image packaging for her recently, preparing to promote her after the release of "Tang Detective 2". I'm currently in the training room." Ge Chen said.

"Okay." Then, Hong Chen got up and left, going to the training room.

Ge Chen took out his mobile phone, glanced at the call just now, and called back.

In the training room, Shang Yuyan is training under the supervision of her manager.

It is not so easy to become a qualified actor. Voice, body, and acting skills all need to be improved.

Shang Yuyan was not born in an orthodox major. She just graduated from a foreign university last year, and her major was painting.

Her image is really outstanding, and she also wanted to be an actress, so she signed a contract with the studio.

Judging from "Detective Chinatown 2", this girl is very talented, has a good camera sense, knows how to act, and can become an excellent actor if she is trained well.

At this moment, Shang Yuyan is practicing her lines skills.It is to learn to pronounce with the chest cavity, and to enunciate words clearly.

At this time, Hong Chen pushed the door and walked into the training room.

The training room is a huge room, somewhat like a dance classroom, with several sofas around it for them to rest.

"Hi, boss!" Seeing Hong Chen approaching, the people in the room immediately stood up and said hello.

Hong Chen smiled and motioned everyone not to be so restrained.

"Boss, you're finally here." Shang Yuyan immediately showed an aggrieved expression when she saw Hong Chen, and stepped forward to hug Hong Chen's arm.

After the filming of Tang Detective 2, Shang Yuyan changed her name to Hong Chen's boss. She said that calling the boss seemed too old-fashioned and not suitable for her relationship with Hong Chen.

At this moment, Shang Yuyan was no longer dressed as a loli in the production team, but changed into a white casual outfit, and her hair changed from double ponytails to black and straight, but her cuteness remained undiminished.

"What's wrong?" Hong Chen knew that the girl was pretending, but still asked with a smile.

"Being an actor is so difficult. I've recited those lines hundreds of times. Tell Sister Chen to let me rest for a while." Shang Yuyan complained.

Sister Chen is Shang Yuyan's assistant manager. She has been in this business for many years and was hired by Ge Chen.On weekdays, she is responsible for taking care of Shang Yuyan's daily life.

Sister Chen is a nice person, very enthusiastic, and takes good care of her artists. Of course, sometimes the requirements are higher.

"Let her rest for a while." Hong Chen turned his head and said to Sister Chen gently.

"Good boss." Sister Chen immediately agreed.After all, Hong Chen is the boss, so he must have the final say.

"Boss, I was joking." Shang Yuyan said with a smile.

"By the way, Boss, I heard that you will participate in a big production of ancient costumes in the next year. Can you bring me along? Such a big scene, such as court ladies and concubines, must be performed by someone." Shang Yuyan said again.

Shang Yuyan obviously wanted to film with Hong Chen.

Hong Chen glanced at her and shrugged: "Your style is not suitable for ancient costumes."

Shang Yuyan is a cute and slightly cold loli when she dresses up, and the look of a costume drama may not be suitable for her.

"Boss, this girl is naturally beautiful, and she can perform well in costume dramas. Now, wait for me, I will go to the stylist, I remember there are several sets of costumes in it." Shang Yuyan said, and hurried out .

"Do we have ancient costumes here?" Hong Chen asked curiously.

"Yes, there are. Some time ago, Lu Jia accepted a costume drama. In order to let her adapt to the role during practice, Director Ge bought several sets and kept them in the company." Chen Hong explained.

"I see." Hong Chen nodded.

Immediately, Hong Chen found that Chen Hong and the other two assistants seemed more restrained, Hong Chen smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous, just pretend I'm not here."

"Yes, yes." The three agreed quickly.Even though they said that, Hong Chen was the boss after all, so it must still be unnatural.

Hong Chen couldn't say anything more.

After about 20 minutes, Shang Yuyan returned to the training room.

I saw that she was wearing a white gown, and there was an indescribable sense of agility in her dignified appearance.Her hair was coiled up, with a wooden hairpin stuck in it, with a smile on her face and rolling eyes, unexpectedly there was something special about her.

Originally, Shang Yuyan had a cute style, but after such a change of clothes, her temperament has completely changed, and she looks very comfortable overall, and even looks more and more beautiful the more she looks at it.

Some people are born to be clothes hangers.

"Boss, how's it going?" Shang Yuyan spun around, her long pendant swayed slightly, her slender and fair calf looming.

Hong Chen looked at her seriously, and praised: "It's really good. I'll ask Ge Chen to get in touch and let you play a role in "Langya Bang"."

"Haha, thank you boss." Shang Yuyan laughed happily.

"But let's talk about it. In this drama with a big male lead, there are relatively few female actors. The important roles are either heroic or older. You can only play a small role when you go." Hong Chen said again.

"It's okay, the size of the role doesn't matter." Shang Yuyan blinked her eyes, and there was a look in her eyes that others couldn't understand.

At this moment, Ge Chen also hurried into the training room. After seeing Hong Chen, he said, "There is good news."

Hearing this, Hong Chen's expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What?"

Hong Chen really couldn't think of any good news at this time.

"There is a chorus program in the Spring Festival Gala. The chief director Zhang Mou has already contacted me and wants you to sing a part of it."

"What? Spring Festival Gala?"

Hearing Ge Chen's words, Hong Chen's face was full of surprise.
