Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 278 279. Open up new markets 【Subscription】

However, the entertainment industry in general.

Still look at the face of the world.

The entertainment industry is still cruel to actors.

Especially actresses.

For example, it can be seen from Yang Zi's struggle history in these years.

She can be regarded as one of the top acting talents among the post-95 generation. With her fame and acting skills, she has not only failed to get her due acting status in recent years, she has even been ridiculed by the crowd for being too beautiful. Why is this?

Yang Zi can be said to be a very hardworking little flower. Not only is her acting skills very good, but she also has many works. However, she has received a lot of slander and praise over the years.

The big reason is that she is not good-looking enough.

In the entertainment industry, the appearance of female stars is very important. Even if you have acting skills, it is not as good as the hype of a beautiful female star.

However, compared to being beautiful, it may bring you temporary benefits and small favors.

If you want to settle down and live, you will achieve something.

Relying on the face alone is indeed not enough.

There are too many beautiful people, and you will always be replaced by someone more beautiful.

To gain a foothold, there must be something irreplaceable.

Good heart, good character, ability to deal with people, generous conversation, excellent business quality, broad knowledge, etc., are all indispensable on the road to growth.

Give a counterexample of looking at faces.

This story is an example that happened around Lu Chen.

In the previous life, Lu Chen had a girl friend who was not good-looking.

At least she is not the beauty in the eyes of traditional Chinese people.

Small eyes, bulbous nose, neither thin nor tall, nor a D cup.

When Lu Chen met her for the first time, it was a gathering of a small circle. Lu Chen brought a gay friend who was said to only like beautiful women to go.

Among the beauties in the circle, the other party was unremarkable.

However, she took the initiative to greet newcomers like Lu Chen and the others, and introduced herself briefly and forcefully.

After a few words, Lu Chen and the others couldn't help but be deeply infected by the warm sunshine she radiated.

After being seated, Lu Chen's gay friend basically didn't talk to other beauties the whole time.

The other party shared the knowledge of travel and foreign study tours, as well as interesting stories and resonant experiences at work.

A person who studies law can actually have a lively chat about programming with a gay friend who majors in acting.

It is very impressive.

After that party, she became a good friend of Lu Chen and the others.

She works in a foreign law firm and often works overtime until late at night.

He often came to eat with Lu Chen and the others before going back to the office to work overtime.

Her business ability is particularly excellent.

Every time I answer your questions and translate the contract, the efficiency is high and the quality is so good that it is surprising.

Every day is very busy.

On weekends, I also participated in various interest groups, performed dramas, made handicrafts, and watched exhibitions.

Mantra: I am a good actor.

She insisted on making the handmade bag that he made in one class for half a year before completing it.

Lu Chen and the others laughed at her for breaking her hand, and she had been injured for half a year.

But my heart is full of admiration and appreciation.

Everyone who met her said she was like a solar panel.Not only is he full of energy, but also makes people around him feel a strong warmth.

So, being good-looking is nothing special.

As long as you are good enough to shine.

The ugly duckling always turns into a swan.

It's the same in the entertainment industry.

The professional ability of an actor in the entertainment industry refers to the actor's performance ability shown in film and television works.

A person with good acting ability will naturally be evaluated by people in the entertainment industry as a person with high professional ability, and vice versa, he will be evaluated as a person with poor professional ability.

In the entertainment circle, most directors and screenwriters like to shoot some film and television works with actors with strong professional ability.

These actors with strong professional ability can use their performances to fully express the emotions and emotions to be expressed in film and television works.

Still, there's something about it.

Business capabilities cannot determine everything.

In the eyes of many people, they will think that business ability in the entertainment industry can determine everything.

In fact, as far as I am concerned, business ability does not determine everything.

To be precise, including Lu Chen, he also believes that professional ability is the main factor in evaluating an actor's performance ability, but it is not the only factor.

An actor with strong professional ability, if he doesn't know how to deal with people in the entertainment industry and makes trouble everywhere, then this person is destined to be unable to get along in the entertainment industry.

As we all know, a thousand-mile horse must also meet Bole, so that this thousand-mile horse can play a role.

Therefore, Lu Chen believes that his professional ability cannot determine everything.

However, a person's quality and his communicative ability determine the height he can reach in the showbiz.

If an actor wants to develop well in the entertainment industry, he must first have certain professional ability, and secondly, he must win the appreciation of talents in the entertainment industry.

……

The comments on the Internet did not affect Lu Chen's shooting.

Soon, the domestic drama has basically ended.

After the end.

Soon they turned to the ugly country.

According to the script written by Lu Chen, this movie will be shown in Time Advertisement, Columbia University, Fifth Avenue, Wall Street and New York Stock Exchange and other landmarks?Architectural framing.

Choose to take pictures in these places,
The main purpose is to increase the thickness and realism of the film.

It's mid-May.

Ugly country in May.

Compared with the slightly dry hot spot in China, it is located in New York.

The crew's first day here is to rest and recuperate, and everyone has to fight jet lag.

Including Lu Chen,

Lu Chen didn't expect that the first time he went abroad was to make a movie.

Before "Fast and Furious 1", Lu Chen didn't come out yet.

However, even if he wanted to lose jet lag.

Others didn't give him a chance, so they finally caught him and came to Ugly Country.

Of course, the director and director here came to visit him, a new international director.

The title is not worth the money,

The most valuable thing is "The Fast and the Furious" filmed by Lu Chen and they made a lot of money and the copyright in Lu Chen's hands.

That's right, Universal wants the rights to The Fast and the Furious.

This time he came to Ugly Country, besides following the crew, Lu Chen also brought five people with him,
They are two assistants and three bodyguards, if there is any danger.

It doesn't seem to have either.

At least from his debut until now, he has not encountered any danger.

Even when going out on a date with Liu Shishi alone.

Haven't encountered either.

However, with his current status, it was inevitable to bring a few bodyguards.

Even if he wanted to refuse, Zeng Jia and the others would not agree.

After all, Lu Chen's current status is very unusual.

Liu Shishi even wanted Lu Chen to bring more bodyguards.

In this regard.

Lu Chen still refused.

Just make sense, there is no need for a dozen or twenty bodyguards to surround him.

Besides, this time I came here mainly to keep a low profile.It's not worth making such a big noise,

However, under Liu Shishi's arguments, Lu Chen still brought three bodyguards.

And Universal is still considerate.

Five rooms were prepared for Lu Chen and his party.

Lu Chen is in one room.

One for each of the two assistants.

Three bodyguards and two rooms.

This is for the convenience of the bodyguard's work.

That night.

The people from Universal took Lu Chen to dinner at a local specialty restaurant in Ugly Country.

Although this is Lu Chen's first time going abroad to eat foreign food.

But objectively speaking.

He still thinks that Chinese food is the best food in the world.

Interesting thing though.

Although the other party entertained very thoughtfully.

But never mention anything about cooperation.

The other party didn't mention it.

Lu Chen would not take the initiative to ask.

Still calmly follow the other party's arrangement.

During this process, the other party also wanted to invite Lu Chen to some nightclubs.

They were all rejected by Lu Chen.

He doesn't like the noisy atmosphere very much.

……

the next day.

After Lu Chen had a simple breakfast, Wang Xin walked over with a handsome white man.

Wang Xin is the person in charge of Jiaxing Media here.

Jiaxing Media has already made two films out of the country, and for the sake of convenience, they also set up a studio here.

I saw that this white man also brought bodyguards.

Lu Chen instantly understood that this white man seemed to be extraordinary.

"Director Lu."

Wang Xin smiled all over his face: "This is David Ryan, the producer of Universal Pictures in Ugly Country, one of the few friends I have in Ugly Country."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xin introduced Lu Chen to the other party in English.

David looked at Lu Chen, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, he stretched out his hand, and said in not-so-fluent Chinese: "Nice to meet you, Lu, I've seen your previous movie "Shark Beach". As for the movie, I personally like the style of "Shark Beach" very much."

"Thank you."

Lu Chen communicated directly with the other party in English: "I have also watched many movies produced and invested by your company. Your company is very good."

If Lu Chen remembers correctly.

The project of Quick Excitement and the project he plans to start next.

It seems that they are all global ip.

Relying on these two big IPs, Universal is directly known as the Big Three of Ugly Films.

And in this world,

Neither of these two big ip globals are available.

They are still one of the top entertainment companies in Ugly Country,

This made Lu Chen sigh involuntarily.

The world didn't seem to change because of his appearance.

The works he copied.

There will always be something else to replace it.

"Thank you for your praise."

Interestingly, this David still communicates with Lu Chen in Chinese.

It sounds stumbling.

And Lu Chen's English is about the same, not particularly fluent,
This was after he graduated from school.

It's the first time I use English.

domestic.

Lu Chen always spoke Mandarin, even when he was interviewed by some foreign media.

He also speaks Chinese.

It has been useless for several years, so Lu Chen is not particularly fluent in speaking now.

David insisted on speaking Chinese.

Then Lu Chen insisted on speaking English.

This made Wang Xin, the middleman, feel a little headache.

I will speak Chinese for a while, and I will speak English for a while.

The two assistants behind Lu Chen tried their best to suppress their laughter.

"Have a drink or two."

Wang Xin called the waiter, and Lu Chen tried his best to do as the Romans did.

But he was still not used to foreign wine.

So I ordered a domestic brand of beer.

"It is said that Chinese people like to discuss business at the wine table?"

David smiled and said, "You two have asked me a lot."

Wang Xin took a sip, and was in a more relaxed state.

Although it is the first time to go abroad.

But Lu Chen didn't feel nervous at all.

"Teaching is out of the question."

Lu Chen said lightly: "However, cooperation is possible."

Universal is one of the Big Three in Ugly Country, and it can also be said to be the top film company in the world.

As for the other party, as the producer of this company, although he doesn't know the specific level.

But the level should not be too low.

After all, the value of the project they want to cooperate with is not low.

The other party can speak at least in the top management of the company.

"What cooperation?" David was also a little surprised.

Obviously he was the one who came to seek cooperation from Lu Chen, but now it was Lu Chen who offered to cooperate.

After a pause, Lu Chen said: "I have a few good projects in my hand, which need to be filmed in Ugly Country. I will choose the director of the script, and you will provide the team. As for the film investment, we can do it ourselves, and you can do it yourself." Can get involved, after all I hope Universal will release this movie in the future..."

"What project?"

David was a little curious.

Lu Chen said, "The House of Paper Money."

That's right, it's "The House of Money"!
This TV series is not suitable for filming in China, if you want to film in China.

Extensive castration is required.

Therefore, even though Lu Chen liked this TV series very much, he couldn't do anything about it.

Not just House of Money, but Gotham.

Such a TV series is not suitable for filming in China.

If it is to be filmed, many plots will need to be greatly revised.

Moreover, the meaning and spirit represented by these characters will be greatly reduced.

But now the problem is gone.

Hollywood entertainment companies are trying to target the domestic market, and of course Lu Chen will also target this market.

After investing in Western films.

There is nothing wrong with going this way.

He can use Universal's team to shoot "The House of Money", which will completely establish his reputation here.

As a newly promoted international director, of course he will not always guard the one-acre domestic land.

And Lu Chen didn't like the name of the newcomer either.

So, if you get the chance, go for it.

However, David did not expect that Lu Chen would propose a project called "Money House".

He was confused for a moment: "So, this is a movie?"

"It's a TV show."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "You know, the plots of some movies and TV series cannot be filmed in China. For example, a mysterious man called "Professor" cleverly manipulated behind the scenes, leading a group of robbers to sneak into the coinage The factory, wearing a red jumpsuit and a Dali mask, took 67 hostages and planned to let the hostages help them print 24 billion euros and then escape.”

"The robbers successfully robbed 24 billion euros?"

Lu Chen nodded. At this time, Netflix has reached its peak in the West.

But these dramas have not yet been filmed.

Therefore, Lu Chen copied it without hesitation.

As for why not go to Netflix to cooperate?

Very simple.

Now that Netflix has reached the pinnacle, it doesn't necessarily look like him.

Moreover, he still bears the word Xinjin now.

Plus they want to carve out their own market in Hollywood.

therefore.

Hollywood's top entertainment companies are the best choices.

for a while.

Wang Xin was also stunned.

Wang Xin never expected that Lu Chen would write a movie script specifically for the market here.

Seeing David's more interested expression, Lu Chen continued, "This is a high-IQ crime TV series..."

As the name suggests, "Paper Money House" is related to money, but it is a money grab, or a team with a high IQ. The team leader "Professor" with a super high IQ leads a group of mysterious and talented team members, aiming to carry out a successful campaign. Perfect Crime, in order to avoid information leakage, members only use cities as code names.

In the first and second seasons, they robbed the Royal Mint of Spain. In the third season, because member Rio was arrested, the professor planned to rob the National Bank of Spain again. He wanted to get enough chips and official negotiations to rescue Rio. During the confrontation, the IQs of both sides were always online, presenting a rigorous and exciting duel feast for the audience.

Professor Planner's plan is perfect. He pays great attention to details, is always ready to fail, and has planned many backup plans.

Medical training for the team members in advance, enhanced control of hostages through undercover agents, how to adjust their whereabouts and escape from pursuit, if these meticulous details are for a greater chance of success, or nothing, then after watching the film, I saw the professor behind the scenes. You will have to marvel at the larger layout.

During the crime process, the professor used a series of perfect layouts to instigate rebellion, confuse, and instigate the public, and won the hearts of the biggest trump card for the perfect crime.

First of all, they never hurt the hostages, but use the hostages to incite public anger. For example, in the first two seasons, they let the police make two choices:

1. Release 8 ordinary students;
2. Release the daughter of the British ambassador.

The police chose the latter, and the recording evidence left by the professor team was released to the public. There was an uproar in the public opinion, and ordinary people were very angry with the official elite.

In the third season, the professor sprinkled 1.5 million euros on the streets to share the wealth with the people, and also used the box that hides the dirty secrets of the powerful class to arouse public anger again.

In the fourth season, the contradictions became more intense. The police tortured team member Rio in violation of the law, and even buried them alive. Facing the professor’s online complaints against them, the police lied and denied these practices, and the professor directly disclosed The government was slapped in the face when the evidence was obtained, and the anger of the people was ignited in the face of repeated lies and deceptions. They all cheered for the professor.

At this time, the official was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and decided to launch a scapegoat. Unexpectedly, she revealed the high-level orders at the press conference. So far, the credibility of the Spanish government has disappeared.

In addition, there are many details in the film that instigated and exploited the extreme emotions of the group. In the end, the disorder and chaos of society provided the greatest help for the professor's criminal plan.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

"House of Money" is different from similar films such as "V for Vendetta," which depicts a fictional society full of inequality and oppression, while the former is set in an actual modern country.

In the play, people do have many years of grievances about the flaws in the government system management, but the professor team is by no means a true teacher of justice. While the public hates the government's arbitrary manipulation, they are not being bewitched and used by the professor team, and angry. The sound drowns out reason, and an out-of-control society is also a kind of harm to the public itself.

Lu Chen directly gave David a brief introduction to the general plot of "The House of Money".

David listened carefully.

When Lu Chen finished speaking, his interest was completely aroused.
