The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 145 I'm OK

Starting from Chen Jingxing's first film Comet, the birth of each film has brought Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks a qualitative leap.

But "Signal" turned Chen Jingxing into Tang monk flesh.

Because Luo Chen didn't really show any amazing acting skills, and of course it wasn't bad, so it can only be said that his acting was qualified.

Objectively speaking, there is no need to criticize Luo Chen, because whether it is "Fatal Identity" or "Signal", the role played by Luo Chen really does not have much room to play, which is also the reason why Chen Jingxing is willing to hand over the role to him.

Since there must be a big name who can negotiate with the theaters, and at the same time, this big name has enough fans to reduce the cost of publicity and distribution of the film, and its acting skills are not bad, Luo Chen is a very suitable candidate.

But in the eyes of outsiders, especially in the eyes of other actors and stars, it means "I can do it myself".

Did Luo Chen achieve the success of "Fatal Identity" and "Signal"?Or does it have to be him?

Except for Luo Chen's fans, most people don't see it that way.

But Luo Chen's overseas influence is certain, and it seems that he is another rising movie star with international reputation.

And is this because he really has any extraordinary business ability?In the eyes of many people, it is just luck.

Fortunately, he became the leading actor in two films by Chen Jingxing.

Therefore, DreamWorks and Chen Jingxing have been very popular in the industry for a while.

Various film and television drama companies and brokerage companies are trying to contact him, inquire about his next project plans, and promote their own artists and even their works.

Recommending your own artist is easy to understand, and there are all kinds of items you recommend.

Some invited Chen Jingxing to be the director. Of course, if Chen Jingxing really wanted to direct them, they would be extremely happy, and if he didn't want to make their works, that's fine too, as long as they have a name.

You can ask the assistant director to shoot, and Chen Jingxing will be the director in name, and you will get paid for nothing, but you just need to deal with the media interviews a little bit, attend a press conference and so on.

Of course, there are not many such outrageous requests. The more request is for him to be a producer, a producer, or even a screenwriter.

And these projects are not all movies, there are also some TV series, because Chen Jingxing has actually formed a certain brand effect in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, not to mention the United States. Although it is not strong, it is definitely effective. If the work is really labeled with Chen Jingxing, filmmakers in these countries and regions will really think about it seriously, and it will get a certain amount of attention. Domestic TV dramas can often sell copyrights in Southeast Asia.

Not to mention the domestic audience, the first TV series produced/produced/written by Chen Jingxing is also a big gimmick, and it may be even bigger than the gimmick of the movie. It is quite special, but in the environment of rapid expansion of Internet copyright, just the three words Chen Jingxing can really increase the Internet copyright fee a lot.

Of course, Chen Jingxing had already made up his mind to give this gimmick to the TV series produced by DreamWorks, so he could only ignore these requests to be named in the TV series.

In addition to these film and television companies and brokerage companies that he does not know, his partners and shareholders of DreamWorks also have acquaintances who call or even invite guests to inquire about his intentions. Even Qin Zhonghe of Guoying is inevitably entrusted Introduce him to know a few first-line stars.

This is also human nature. After all, people are the sum of social relationships. The more successful a person is, the deeper he will be trapped in this network. Otherwise, there would not be so many "returning favors" in the film and television industry. .

In fact, after the success of "Fatal Identity", after DreamWorks approved two films, there were many film and television companies and brokerage companies flocking to them, but at that time they were mainly based on traffic and young actors. After all, first-line actors usually There is no shortage of resources, only traffic stars need to lick pancakes everywhere.

After "Signal" was screened domestically and in surrounding areas, the number of actors and actresses who came to make friends was obviously much larger. Obviously, the weight of works with a box office level of 10 billion has become so heavy that no one can ignore it.

Although Chen Jingxing felt a little annoying, after all, it was not so easy to turn down many invited dinners.

But from a rational point of view, Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks should welcome these film and television companies, brokerage companies and artists to get closer to him.

From the other side's point of view, Chen Jingxing is the creator of high-quality resources, and to Chen Jingxing, these celebrity artists and film and television companies are also resources. Some projects that DreamWorks will promote next also need suitable actors. Take advantage of this opportunity Knowing more and getting to know each other will also allow Chen Jingxing to have a more accurate grasp of the actor's personal characteristics, and expand the scope of future casting.

……

"Is this the first time for Director Chen to eat kaiseki cuisine?" Sun Li asked with a smile.

Chen Jingxing shrugged: "I have a wild boar stomach through and through. I have been to a roasted bird restaurant, but I have never been to a kaiseki restaurant."

"It was my mistake." Deng Chao, who was sitting next to Sun Li, quickly showed an embarrassed expression: "I should have asked Director Chen if he had any taboos?"

"Food food? Probably just don't eat raw food... I'm just kidding." Kaiseki restaurants don't eat raw food, so there is basically nothing delicious.

This meal was invited by Deng Chao and his wife. To be honest, there were too many people who came to contact him during this period of time, and even asked his acquaintances to meet him. Part of the request can only be a chat on the phone, or simply an official reply from DreamWorks: "Our Mr. Chen already knows, and we will consider you if there is a suitable role in the future."

However, he still couldn't refuse some invitations, such as invitations from big bosses like Qin Zhonghe, or invitations from a first-line celebrity couple like Deng Chaosunli.

Of course, Chen Jingxing, who was so busy, could spare some time to agree to come to eat. He actually had some demands.

Deng Chao is very good at words and has a great sense of humor, so under his leadership, even though most of the food was cold and warm, the atmosphere of the meal was still very relaxed and happy.

After joking and getting acquainted, Deng Chao and his wife finally expressed their intention to come.

"I don't know if there are any roles in Director Chen's next film project that I can compete for?" Sun Li's tone was relaxed and humble at the same time.

I didn't directly ask "what role is suitable for me", to be honest, some young actors and traffic stars are more direct.

In such a comparison, Sun Li's attitude is even more humble. Of course, the humility in her tone does not mean that she has no confidence in her abilities.

Regarding Chen Jingxing's answer, not only Sun Li was concerned, but Deng Chao was also very concerned.

Deng Chao himself actually didn't have too many ambitions for Chen Jingxing's next film project, after all, he was a big or small capitalist.

The comedy movie "The Breakup Master", which was invested by him and Tianrun Films and directed and acted by himself, was released at the end of June and earned 6 million at the box office. This box office result is also one of the best among young directors. Orange Image, the major shareholder, has already started to set up projects to participate in more film and television drama projects.

Although he felt a little regretful about missing "Source Code", Chen Jingxing was not very attractive to Deng Chao, and his ambition could no longer be satisfied simply as an actor.

So he actually invited this meal on behalf of his wife Sun Li. For himself, he just wanted to get acquainted with Chen Jingxing, the owner of DreamWorks, from a purely commercial perspective.
