Full-time actor

Chapter 335 [18] Dragon crossing the river, meeting Hong Kong for a while!
Xiangjiang, Kowloon, Lung King Heen!
This is a very famous restaurant in Hong Kong. It is located on the Kowloon Peninsula, with Victoria Harbor just outside. It is a model of new-style high-end Cantonese cuisine.

This is the place where Lin Jianle entertained Chen Yu for dinner.

"Lin Sheng, Chen Yu has arrived at the hotel, be there soon!"

Liu Weiqiang received Huang Mao's message and said to Lin Jianle, who was chatting and laughing with Edison Chen outside the hotel box. The box they were in had a balcony overlooking the entire Victoria Harbor, and the night view was even more beautiful at night.

"Then let the food be served!"

Lin Jianle smoked a cigar and spoke to a little girl next to him, who walked down obediently.

"Just got some news!"

Zhuang Cheng took his mobile phone and suddenly walked up to Lin Jianle who was chatting.

Lin Jianle narrowed his eyes subconsciously and waved to Zhuang Cheng. The two of them came to the resting area on the balcony. After sitting down, Zhuang Cheng said directly: "This Chen Yu has a good background. China Film told me that he invested I have acted in several movies and they were all hits!”

"The "Blind Shaft" that was a sensation in Hong Kong was his investment; the best-selling film in Japan currently, "Warm" which won the Tokyo Golden Kirin Award, was also his work!"

"The one with a box office of 11 billion?"

"Yes, it has already exceeded 12 billion yen at the box office. Because it is a literary film, it has a strong future!"

Japanese theaters are different from those in China. They adopt genre classification and have special theaters for artistic films, schedules and even release times for artistic films.

Maybe at a certain period of time, out of the protection of literary and artistic films, theaters across Japan screened this movie.

This is of course also to support the artistic film industry.

Moreover, older people in Japan like to watch artistic movies very much.

Huo Jianqi's last movie "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was not released throughout Japan. Instead, it was initially released in art theaters, and then gradually opened to the whole of Japan. It took one year and accumulated a box office of 6 million. !
Due to its popularity, film schedules have been increased in many remote areas of Japan, and it still achieved a box office of more than 4 million yen one year after its release.

The total box office has now exceeded the 10 billion yen mark, which is more than 7600 million yuan, or million US dollars.

Nowadays, many art theaters in Japan still show movies from time to time and still make money.

After all, this movie set a miracle of box office growth not falling but rising half a year after its release; it replaced Lao Mouzi's "My Father and Mother" in one fell swoop and became the Chinese film with the highest box office in Japan.

And now, Huo Jianqi's "Warm" has a stronger start than "That Mountain".

Previously, Toho Pictures had no confidence in "The Mountain", so it adopted the method of releasing it in art theaters.

Now that "Warm" is sweeping across Tokyo, what is there to fear? So last month, it premiered across Japan and took in a box office of 3 million yen in just one week. As of now, in more than 40 days, the total box office has exceeded 12 billion. Not only It broke the box office record set by his previous film "The Mountain" and also set two records for Chinese films in Japan.

China's highest-grossing film in Japan.

This is the first time that a Chinese art film has been screened in Japan.

The key is that this movie is still in theaters, and no one knows how much it will ultimately earn at the box office.

"Before, I thought he was just a starring role!"

Zhuang Cheng pursed his lips and said there.

Lin Jianle said nothing, lost in thought. Xiangjiang is a capital society, and whoever has money is the boss.

It's useless if you know how to act. If you can make people a lot of money, then that's the real deal.

But the most powerful one is Lin Jianle's kind - the chaebol.

Originally a mainland kid who only knew how to act in Lin Jianle's eyes, now in his mind, he has become an "investor" who knows how to do business in the mainland. If Media Asia wants to open up the mainland market, Lin Jianle must of course make good friends with the people in the mainland. .

This is something that can't be helped.

Who knows that he is a foreigner? Even though Media Asia is now cooperating with China Film Group, they still have a close relationship. When the same movie is released, Hua Yi will have more films scheduled than him at Media Asia.

Are you irritating or not?
"What a great young boy?"

Lin Jianle suddenly raised his head and smiled at Zhuang Cheng. Zhuang Cheng also shook his head: "It's amazing, his acting skills are great, his investment is accurate, and he has films by the two most famous directors from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China in his hands. !”

Zhang Yimou, Zhou Xingchi!

What kind of treatment is this?
"And I heard Wei Zai say that this Chen Yu is very humble. It is difficult for such a person not to succeed!"

Zhuang Cheng knows how to judge people, otherwise he would not promote the new generation of blood in Hong Kong such as Edison Chen, Yu Wenle, and Wu Yanzu; without him and "Infernal Affairs", the life of Hong Kong movies would be shortened by at least 5 years!
"Infernal Affairs" has extended the life of Xiangjiang for more than five years, made all the actors in it reach their peak, and continued the new generation of Xiangjiang.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be regarded as a milestone in Hong Kong's film downturn.

It not only boosted the confidence of film investors in Hong Kong, but also set off a craze for Hong Kong police and gangster films.

There has been no Hong Kong film since "Infernal Affairs", this is the reason.

"So, Zhuang Shengqian has changed his mind now?"

Lin Jianle smiled at Zhuang Cheng, and Zhuang Cheng did not deny it: "Yes, compared to Zhou Jilun, I think Chen Yu is more valuable!"

"He may be our best weapon to open up the mainland!"

"Zhuang Sheng is so optimistic?"

Lin Jianle's eyes widened.

"It's just an investment. Although it will fail, if it succeeds, the benefits will be greater!"

Just like "Infernal Affairs" back then.

However, Zhuang Cheng is investing in people now.

"I'm optimistic about his future. "Initial D" is destined to be released after Zhang Yimou and Xing Ye!"

"With the blessing of these two movies, and his status as the number one young person in the Mainland, he is very likely to become the next 'talker' in the Mainland!"

"Zhou Jialun's fans are destined to be limited!"

"Did...it got popular too quickly?"

Although Lin Jianle had heard of Chen Yu before, the information Zhuang Cheng gave him now felt untrue.

This kind of enthusiasm is something he can't grasp, it's very false. Unlike Zhou Jilun, it's the kind of accumulation bit by bit. Chen Yu is like a triple jump, bursting out suddenly; such a person falls If so, it will be very fast.

What does that mean!

It feels similar to the feeling given by Xiao Shen Yang in 09.

Of course, this is Lin Jianle's inner feeling. In fact, Chen Yu and Xiao Shen Yang have completely different popular methods.

Chen Yu just debuted too short, he is not lacking in ability.

It is indeed too fast to reach this stage in 3 years, so it is very normal for many people to have this illusion.

"Let's eat first!"

"When Yuzai comes, we will observe again!"

Lin Jianle held a cigar in his mouth and walked into the box. Zhuang Cheng also got up and followed.

I just sat there for a while, tuk tuk tuk!
There was a sudden knock on the door, and a waiter came in: "Mr. Lin, there is someone——"

"Let him in!"

Lin Jianle interrupted him directly and waved his hand, and the waiter immediately retreated.

"coming!"

"Let you meet the new international movie king from the Mainland. He is just 20 years old. He is a formidable young man. He is a very powerful guy who can break the record set by Xingye in Hong Kong!"

Lin Jianle said to the "Infernal Affairs" cast members present, and soon Chen Yu, who was dressed very casually, walked into the box under the leadership of the waiter.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Lin Jianle suddenly took the lead in applauding.

"Come, let us welcome guests from the mainland!"

"Oh, he is indeed handsome and handsome!" "The four heavenly kings have to give up their seats to him..."

Lin Jianle was whistling with a cigar in his mouth. Chen Yu was startled by this sudden outburst.

After looking around, good guys... I know them all.

Edison Chen, Yu Wenle, Zhuang Wenqiang... half of the cast of "Infernal Affairs" are here.

"Hello everyone!"

Chen Yu greeted everyone in Cantonese, but Lin Jianle pulled out the seat next to him and patted him: "Yu Zai, your seat is here!"

"..."

Although many people here knew that the seat next to Lin Jianle was probably for Chen Yu, they still had a lot of thoughts when they saw him pulling up. Teacher Chen Guanxi frowned, and Yu Wenle also grinned.

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui, on the other hand, just looked at each other.

Just this seat is enough to show the importance of Chen Yu in Lin Jianle's heart.

"Yuzai, this is our Media Asia boss, Lin Sheng!"

"The person in charge, Zhuang Sheng!"

Although Liu Weiqiang and Chen Yu met for the first time, they knew each other after several phone calls, so they introduced each other to Chen Yu one by one.

Chen Yu actually knew Lin Jianle's background very well.

The president of Media Asia and the helm of Lai Sun Group owns four independent listed companies: Lai Sun Development, Lai Sun International, King Yao International and Crocodile Shirts, plus a Media Asia film and television company, one of the top ten plutocrats in Hong Kong.

Of course, this is Chen Yu's news. Lin Jianle may not have inherited so much property yet. His old man has only been here for two years and will die at any time.

In addition to his eldest brother being better at playing with women than he is, he probably only gets a small share of the family property.

In the future, Media Asia will be very powerful. It will be almost the only company in Hong Kong, and the Emperor will have to step aside. And Lin Jianle is also the first and most stable person to establish relations with the mainland.

Apart from Li Huanggua and a few others, this guy is indeed the real top figure in Xiangjiang.

And Lin Jianle's first impression of Chen Yu was not at all like the playboy that people say outside. Although he acted a little arrogantly and almost made Jiahe, the eldest brother in the industry, pout, he seemed very considerate to this outsider. polite.

It seems that I am still quite valuable in his eyes.

"Hello, Lin Sheng!"

Chen Yu hurriedly shook hands with him, and Lin Jianle smiled: "Sit down, let's talk while we eat!"

"it is good!"

Chen Yu sat down. He was not as formal as other actors, but looked very casual.

This fact made Liu Weiqiang and others look at him with some suspicion. This young man from the mainland seemed to be very confident.

It is completely different from the actors who came to Hong Kong to shoot movies before, including Li Lianjie, who were timid when they first came to Hong Kong, for fear of offending local dignitaries or film industry leaders.

Chen Yu's appearance showed no nervousness at all, and even his expression looked extremely calm.

Chen Guanxi and others on the side looked at it with admiration.

When did mainland actors become so tough?

It's not like they haven't worked with mainland actors before, such as Hu Jun and Chen Daomin in Infernal Affairs 2 and 3.

This Chen Yu is so different.

They have no idea that Chen Yu is calling "young people to reorganize the workplace." Of course, this workplace is the Hong Kong Film Market.

The difference between him and Jet Li and others is that they want to live in Hong Kong; as for Chen Yu, his base is still in the mainland. If there are movies in Hong Kong, it will be better. If not, he doesn't care.

This is an attitude, which is why he appears so free and easy.

……

Soon, the dishes arrived, which can be said to be very exquisite. At least, this was the first time for Chen Yu to eat such authentic Hong Kong-style dishes.

Of course, it tastes great too.

Lin Jianle was very interested in Chen Yu. During this period, he asked a lot of questions, and Chen Yu answered them with a smile. Others looked at it and secretly admired him. This kind of calm and composed look would be obvious to others. It can't be done.

Of course, Chen Yu was able to do this because he was from the mainland.

To put it bluntly, so what if Chen Yu offended Lin Jianle?
He doesn't rely on Xiangjiang for food. At worst, he will go back to the mainland. No matter how awesome Lin Jianle is, he can't reach the mainland, so Chen Yu has no pressure at all.

But other people are definitely different. If they offend Lin Jianle, they will definitely not be able to survive in the Xiangjiang circle.

They have no market in the mainland, so they often have to swallow their anger.

The decline of Xiangjiang's film and television industry is actually related to these factors. The upper-level personnel have too much control over the entire industry. In the early years, it was even the underworld who held guns and asked actors to make movies for them.

It's a little better now, but in fact the underworld has been replaced by capitalists, and the path is actually the same.

The people at the table ate happily, and both the host and the guest were happy.

Chen Yu was talking about interesting things from the mainland, and many people here could see the level of Chen Yu, a dragon who has crossed the river.

This kid really doesn't think of himself as an outsider, right?
Indeed, Xiangjiang is a city in China, so of course Chen Yu will not see anyone outside? !
"Brother Hui, how is this Yuzai's driving skills?"

Seeing Chen Yu and Lin Jianle chatting happily, Chen Guanxi, who was sitting there, suddenly asked Mai Zhaohui next to him.

Mai Zhaohui was eating. He was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I'm not sure. What's wrong?"

"fine!"

Edison Chen showed his iconic smile, and Yu Wenle, who was standing by him, was very difficult to deal with. Privately, the relationship between the two of them was very bad. Last year, it was revealed that they got into a fight over Gillian.

Now they are not even superficial brothers.

If it weren't for Lin Jianle's pressure, the two of them would not have attended this dinner together at all.

So when he saw the other party's expression, Yu Wenle immediately guessed something.

There will be an audition at the speedway later. I guess this kid will do something bad again?

You, do you want to remind this mainland boy?
Yu Wenle pursed his lips, but Lin Jianle looked at the leftovers on the table and couldn't help but said: "Have you eaten enough? Come on, let's go for a ride next time!"

The rich second generation of Xiangjiang comes with a standard three-piece suit - racing cars, betting on horses and playing with women!

And the young master Lin in front of him will almost be imprisoned for speed racing in the future.

Drag racing is his specialty, and the main thing is one thing - people are addicted to food.

A group of people followed him to the small private racing track built by Lin Jianyue's friend. It was a circular track like a playground, but the area was definitely much larger than the playground. One lap was about 2 kilometers, and Many branches.

Squeak!

A blue sports car appeared in front of the racing track just as Chen Yu and others arrived.

The loud sound of brakes made everyone raise their heads.

The next second, the expressions of Edison Chen and others suddenly changed.

Cars are men's favorite. No matter when a sports car appears in front of them, they can't help but take a look at it.

Just like beautiful clothes, in the eyes of women.

For most men, the car in front of them is almost like the lover of their dreams.

Even Chen Yu, a reborn person, showed a slightly excited look when he saw the car in front of him.

GTR, currently the most cost-effective supercar in the world, has an extremely arrogant nickname - God of War.
