China Entertainment 2000.

Chapter 87
After drinking a few glasses of wine and lighting up cigarettes, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became lively.

The work that everyone is engaged in is closely related to the film and television industry, and the topic revolves around the entertainment industry, ranging from domestic entertainment to Hong Kong entertainment to various gossip news.

But what everyone at the table was most moved by was the fact that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" shone brightly at the American Golden Globe Awards and Academy Awards, winning multiple awards.

More than half of the people here are engaged in the profession of actors, and it is self-evident that they yearn for Oscars and Golden Globes.

The success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has given actors and stars here and even across the country the confidence to hit Hollywood.

"A few days ago, I called the producer Jiang Zhiqiang. Can you guess how much the box office of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was?" Han Sanping paid tribute to Ge You, took a sip of wine, and asked.

Jiang Liu, Ge You and others, who knew it well, shook their heads.

Han Sanping sighed: "The global box office has exceeded 2 million, and the suffix is ​​US dollars. I really can't imagine it!"

Before Jiang Liu and others could speak, Han Sanping asked again: "Did you watch the domestic movie "Life and Death" last year?"

"We mobilized enterprises and institutions across the country, government staff, and students from universities, middle schools and primary schools to all participate in watching the movie. The final box office was only 1 million yuan, which shows that the gap is not as big as usual."

"Common people regard "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as a Chinese-language film. Everyone here should know the inside story of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

"It's not like there are no talented people in the country. I heard that a certain director is also planning to make a martial arts movie?" Zhang Guoli said.

"Well, the crew has already set off for Dunhuang, and has assembled several big-name actors such as Li Lianjie, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi, etc. It's unclear how effective it will be. I hope it lives up to expectations."

Jiang Liu silently picked up a piece of sea cucumber.

He is not an actor, so there is no need to imitate Fan Binbin and others, put down their chopsticks, and listen with a low attitude, like a primary school student being taught.

But such occasions do have many benefits for celebrities.

The most important thing is to gain a lot of unknown first-hand information.

The general public has gone from questioning to believing that the dirty entertainment industry is not groundless.

If an actor wants to get a role, he can never do without social activities such as dinner parties.

The more I participate in similar social activities, the more I realize that my destiny is not under my control, and the urge to spread my legs becomes stronger, and over time I get used to it.

It has even become a luxury wish for many celebrities to participate in high-ranking dinner parties and wine parties with CEO Han and top leaders of film and television companies.

The past few years have been fine.

In a few years, the exposure rate of being a star will further increase, and more young people's dreams will change from scientists, soldiers, pilots, teachers, doctors and other professions to becoming big stars, and the water in the entertainment industry will be deeper and turbid.

Jiang Liu remembers that starting in 07 or 08, there were talent scouts from Huaxia and China World Trade Center in Soho, the capital.

As well as the so-called agents in the film and television industry.

These scouts and agents are equivalent to brokers.

They will use the little crew resources they have to squeeze huge amounts of money from amateurs who dream of becoming stars. A role with a little more lines can cost several to 10 yuan.

"How is your family's financial situation? Does your family have any money?"

It became a mantra on the lips of many agents at the time.

Since then, the entertainment industry, which has become filthy even at the bottom, has become completely rotten.

No matter whether they are newcomers or old people, as long as they still have a little bit of fighting spirit, everyone is focused on climbing up and focusing on money.

The new actors did not become rising stars and succeeded in filming their predecessors to death on the beach, but instead polluted many veteran actors.

A large number of new people poured into the circle, the competition for roles suddenly became fierce, and all kinds of desires became more and more unscrupulous and out of control.In order to compete for a good role or to be endorsed by a high-end brand, celebrities sacrifice their lives, drink alcohol, and pay money to agents. To the producers, these are all considered trivial matters.

After the dinner, Jiang Liu and Mr. Han stood alone on the street and chatted about the "Mobile Phone" project.

The Wang brothers went to the General Administration to file a complaint, and the two of them had to get some relief.

"Don't worry, Mr. Han. You won't be afraid even if you go to court. All interpretations rest with one heart." Jiang Liu assured, and Han Sanping got into Yu Dong's car with a smile.

Jiang Liu didn't talk too much about whether the two of them had other activities.

Before the dinner, He Jing asked, "Do we want to arrange to go to the 'Earthly World' nightclub to sing a song?"

Jiang Liu didn't agree. To most people, the unspoken actress was a big deal.

But in the eyes of some people, it's not bullshit. On the contrary, going to ghost places like the "earthly world" can easily destroy him.

The enjoyment he has in mind does not mean pouring out his personal desires like a flood.

Silent all night.

The next day.

Jiang Liu personally drove Sha Yi, Yan Ni, Liu Tao, Fan Ming, Jiang Chao, Wang Baoqiang, and Qin Lan to Beijing Film Studio to shoot the "Gong Tian Gong" commercial.

Yixin's family is too poor to afford big-name stars, so they can only make do with their own artists.

Fortunately, "Wulin Gaiden" is this year's show, with strong ratings and multiple broadcast platforms, so Yan Ni and the others can support the show.

Hearing that the plowing advertisement will be the time-telling advertisement for this year's Spring Festival Gala, Sha Yi and others were overjoyed. They asked for some symbolic remuneration and dropped their work to participate.

A familiar face appeared, and Yan Ni and others thought it would be a small gathering of the leading actors of "Wulin Gaiden".

Qin Lan's appearance surprised several people, especially Liu Tao who felt the strongest resistance.

She joined Yixin Company after five others: Wang Baoqiang, Yan Ni, Sha Yi, Fan Ming, and Jiang Chao.

Yixin Company has six contracted actors, four men and two women, with different acting styles.

Yan Ni is six years older than her and not as beautiful as her. When there is no conflict in the drama, they have always been on good terms with each other.

Qin Lan's appearance made her feel threatened.

Threats from career, threats from age and appearance.

The woman's intuition told her that there might be some unclear relationship between this woman and Jiang Liu.

Liu Tao looked at Qin Lan with hostility, then Jiang Liu said: "Liu Tao, have you passed the audition for "Return of the Pearl 3"?" "

"Let's wait for the news. I don't know the details. Boss, do you have any acquaintances on the crew? Ask me when." Liu Tao put his hands on Jiang Liu's shoulders and started to rub them gently to please him.

"Who is the producer?"

"He Xiuqiong, Aunt Qiongyao's daughter-in-law."

Jiang Liu took off Liu Tao's hand: "I don't know He Xiuqiong, just ask for your blessings. By the way, tell Qin Lan the audition address, she also wants to try."

Liu Tao was not annoyed when his hand was taken away, and continued to climb up arrogantly:
"Boss, please help me ask the leadership of Mango TV. I want to star in "Men and Women", but you said that I am too thin and have a bad temperament. I will not be able to play in "Return of the Pearl 3". Next year, I will have to do nothing."

Jiang Liu said angrily: "If you're not hungry, the company will go bankrupt in the second half of next year, and you won't be filming anymore?"
