Full-time actor

Chapter 343 [26] Clues from "Fast and Furious"!

"I am personally very willing to invest in this script!"

"And I can provide you with some help, but you have to discuss this new movie with your agency!"

"Okay, let's meet in the imperial capital and then talk..."

"..."

As soon as Chen Yu got off the plane, he received a call from Masahiro Motoki.

Unexpectedly, within half a year, this guy relented. It seems that the temptation of investment is still great.

He longed to become famous again, and Chen Yu could understand his mood.

"In China, you may not be able to find a director suitable for "The Embalmer"!"

This requires a very delicate shooting technique. It's not that Chen Yu looks down on domestic directors or something. It's really a preconceived impression. If it had been directed by someone else, he might not have that eloquent feeling.

"So, we still have to find a way to find Yojiro Takita to direct!"

"If it doesn't work, let's find a way back home!"

Chen Yu is somewhat conservative. Even if he has seen the original film of "The Embalmer" and knows some of the editing and shooting techniques, the director may not necessarily follow what he says.

Unless Chen Yu directs it himself, but currently he does not seem to have the ability to direct a play.

Although everyone can become a director in later generations, there are experts behind the scenes to guide them. In fact, directing is a job with a very high threshold!
Of course Chen Yu can do this, but only when there is really no other way can he use such a killing move.

At present, he does not want to transform.

At the very least, the four major movie stars must gather together before they can do such a thing.

God has no choice but to take the blame; when the time comes, he will suffer the consequences... The end of the road to becoming an actor is the beginning of the road to being a director.

……

After getting into Ji Qiannan's car with his assistants Qiu Junjun and Cao Yan, Chen Yu drove towards the Olympic Organizing Committee of the Imperial Capital Olympics, which is the Olympic Building.

The driver Cheng Peng and Chen Yu didn't let him come back. After all, he had to go back to filming, and it would be troublesome to drive the car from Hengdian to the imperial capital.

"Brother Yu, you're back just in time. I'll shoot a few commercials together tomorrow!"

After the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Yu's endorsement fees increased again, and accordingly, advertisers came one after another, especially Bird Mobile, which wanted to hire Chen Yu as a brand spokesperson, not just to endorse a certain model.

Secondly, after the fermentation of the Spring Festival Gala, Moutai's sales increased by 1000%, and its sales are almost approaching Wuliangye, the number one distillery in the country.

This endorsement did not go away. Chen Yunian even bought some Moutai stocks when the market opened.

I wonder if the direction of Maotai in this life will have a different butterfly effect because of him.

There are more than 10 other items, such as shampoo, to choose from, and Chen Yu chose a few big brands.

There are two most important ones, Volkswagen and Pepsi-Cola!
This should be the first time that Chen Yu has received an international endorsement contract, although it is only for the Asia-Pacific region; he was previously the spokesperson for Shanghai Volkswagen Santana, but the popularity of the Berlin actor and Asia made Volkswagen headquarters decide to sign a new spokesperson.

Of course, this has something to do with Chen Yu winning the male lead in "Initial D", which Media Asia has officially announced.

Volkswagen was probably afraid that Toyota would take the lead, so it contacted China Audio-Visual immediately.

“Mainly these four brands!”

“Other advertisements can be shot now!”

Ji Qiannan said there that Chen Yu had actually confirmed it with Cao Yan before.

"Volkswagen may be in trouble. They have to confirm the filming schedule. They want you to show off your driving skills. They specially invited a Hollywood director to shoot this commercial!"

"As for PepsiCo, they have to contact other actors to start filming together!"

This has always been PepsiCo's style.

Coca-Cola is currently popular in China, while Pepsi's market is not even one-tenth of its size.

If they want to completely open up the Chinese market, they must go through rounds of celebrity advertising bombardment; all the well-known celebrities in China have already been signed by them.

Like Stephen Chow, F4, Edison Chen, etc., this time Pepsi is preparing to gather the top ten celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places for a big advertising video.

"Hollywood director? Which one?"

Chen Yu was clicked by Ji Qiannan's words in the Volkswagen advertisement.

"Xiaoyan, check what's written in my notepad!"

Ji Qiannan handed a thick large book to Cao Yan. She needed to drive.

Wow!
Cao Yan flipped through the pages quickly and soon saw Ji Qiannan's record: "That director made a movie "Fast and Furious" a few years ago, and the German Volkswagen was the investor and main sponsor of the show at the time. One of the merchants!”

"fast and Furious"?
What the hell!

Chen Yu said "good guy" directly, and his heart beat faster. This movie is really too famous.

A super IP that is popular all over the world!
"Which film is the director of?"

Currently, "The Fast and the Furious" is just about to reach the second part. It seems that the third part will be filmed next year?
Chen Yu couldn't remember clearly, but he knew that there was a very famous character in the third part - Han!

This character happens to have an oriental face.

"I don't know about this. That's what the public told me!"

Ji Qiannan spread her hands, and Chen Yu hurriedly asked: "Do you know the director's name?"

Fast and Furious has had many directors, but the most famous is Lin Yibin, a Chinese-American from Taiwan.

Fast and Furious 3-6, as well as the ninth film, were all directed by him. It can be said that it was from his hands that Fast and Furious began to reach its glory and peak.

For Parts 1 and 2, Universal seems to have changed directors, and will continue to change directors for Part .

"No one would tell me the name of the director!"

Ji Qiannan took out her cell phone: "How about I call and ask?"

"Forget it, I knew it when we were filming the commercial!"

The main thing that came to Chen Yu's mind was the character in "Fast and Furious 3".

Han!

This is a very important supporting role, almost equal to the protagonist.

"If I want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, this show is tailor-made for me!"

An enduring character and IP are the key to being able to stay in Hollywood; if you make a few other movies after that, there will be absolutely no problem in establishing a foothold in Hollywood.

IP, this is so important in Hollywood, it is definitely a symbol of money!

No one has trouble with money.

Otherwise, after the death of Paul Walker, the main actor of Fast and Furious, why would he be pulled out of marketing again and again. It’s all money!

Lao Mei will not have trouble with this thing.

"We have to prepare carefully to see how we can get this role..."

Chen Yu squinted his eyes and lay there, and soon he arrived at the Imperial Olympic Building in the HD area!

The Olympic Organizing Committee responsible for the Imperial Capital Olympics was established here in 01.

After getting off the car, Chen Yu went straight to Zhang Yimou's temporary office on the 15th floor. He is currently working here. However, he participated in auditions at major art schools a few days ago, and the preliminary candidates were just determined yesterday.

"Sit down, I have something to take care of first, it's up to you!"

When Zhang Yimou saw Chen Yu's casual remarks, he went to do his own business. The two of them confirmed it via text message, so there was nothing polite about it.

After a while, Zhang Yimou and his assistant Pang Liwei came to the office.

"That's right. I've almost already thought about the 8-minute program. The main thing is to rehearse!"

"Your task is very important, you are a lead dancer!"

"It's basically a display of Chinese Kung Fu..."

Zhang Yimou briefly talked to Chen Yu: "The first three rehearsals are very important. If the leaders are not satisfied, they may have to replace them. I have submitted your list!"

"No pressure, right?"

Zhang Yimou smiled and Chen Yu shook his head: "No, it feels almost like the Spring Festival Gala!"

"Ha ha!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou's smile deepened: "I watched your Spring Festival Gala show. What did you think? You are so good at performing magic, shouldn't you do a performance?"

"Director Yuan originally asked me to perform "Dragon Fist" with Zhou Jilun!"

"Yeah, isn't that great?"

Zhang Yimou is obviously still traditional. After the two chatted for a while, he turned to the topic: "Although the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals are strict, they are still different from the Olympic performances. Can you understand the difference?"

"Well, I understand. Mistakes are allowed in the Spring Festival Gala, as long as the audience doesn't see it!"

"Yes, the Olympics does not allow for any mistakes!"

Zhang Yimou said with a serious face: "There are still five months until the opening in Athens. Starting from next month, there will be closed rehearsals. You have to arrange your schedule reasonably!"

"It's okay. My TV series can be filmed in mid-April!"

In "Initial D", Chen Yu felt that he should be able to delay it for a while. If not, he could give it to Zhou Jilun.

The Olympics is much more important than this role, so Chen Yu discussed it with Media Asia that evening.

"As long as you can make reasonable arrangements!"

"However, I won't stay here every day, maybe 15 days in a month..."

Zhang Yimou smiled: "I have to be busy with other things too!"

Of course, it is impossible to practice there every day for four months. It is basically 2-3 times a week. In the later stage, it is mainly about adjustments.

Lao Mouzi's new movie "House of Flying Daggers" also needs to be promoted, so it is impossible to focus all the energy on it.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu said casually: "Director Zhang, is "House of Flying Daggers" ready?"

"Well, it's all been submitted for review, and I almost didn't make it in time for submission to Cannes!"

In his previous life, Lao Mouzi had no choice but to hold the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival because he missed the time. Although he explained to the media that it was because he had won too many awards and Europe and the United States controlled the capital game, it had nothing to do with him.

But in fact, he definitely hopes to be shortlisted for the main competition.

After all, he cannot have the final say on a movie alone. He has to consider the entire team and the investors behind it.

Who doesn’t want to win awards and gain fame, so that the film can be released for a higher price?

"I showed the finished film to several people. It was very exciting, especially your fight. I have to teach foreigners a hard lesson this time!"

Zhang Yimou also watched the final film of "House of Flying Daggers", so the Olympic organizing committee asked him to be the director of 8 minutes. Without even thinking about it, he directly wanted to ask Chen Yu to shoot it again.

He didn't know whether Chinese Kung Fu was powerful or not, but the softness of the power and the naturalness of the moves were a level that no physical art in the world could reach.

Otherwise, many foreigners would not be so obsessed.

"I'm also looking forward to the completion of House of Flying Daggers!"

To be honest, Chen Yu was really looking forward to it.

Because this version of "House of Flying Daggers" is definitely much better than the previous version. Whether it is the perfection of the script or the compatibility of the characters, it is incomparable to the previous version.

The release of "House of Flying Daggers" in the previous life encountered many twists and turns. The actor was injured, the original character died, and the script was revised many times, which were the key to the collapse of the movie.

In fact, Lao Mouzi was very ambitious.

"Hero" allowed the world to see China's most completely different martial arts commercial film, and striking while the iron is hot is the key to going international; it is a pity that Lao Mouzi's ambition was directly dashed by this drama.

Time is also destiny, if "House of Flying Daggers" is a big success, his achievements will definitely be much greater than in his previous life.

The great success of the opening of the Imperial Capital Olympics can only be said to be an artistic achievement; for film achievements, his inner obsession must be the Oscars, otherwise his "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", etc. would not have impacted so many times.

After finally losing hope, he completely returned to the country and became a "bad money" national teacher with peace of mind.

The collaboration with Zhang Weiping was actually the most glorious moment of his life. Although the final outcome was very bloody and it was a lose-lose situation. But in retrospect, due to superbirths, etc., negative consequences and fines could not be paid, which is why he frequently took on bad films. source.

The current Lao Mouzi must have ideals and ambitions, and this is also the moment when he is most passionate about creation.

"No chance, the film has been sealed and copied!"

"Just wait for the premiere in Cannes, it doesn't take long!"

There are still more than two months left, and the shortlist is expected to be out next month.

"Let's go, sign a confidentiality agreement, and then wait for the rehearsal notice..."

Zhang Yimou accompanied Chen Yu to the Cultural Activities Department of the Olympic Organizing Committee and signed some relevant agreements; Ji Qiannan began to contact Chen Yu about advertising shooting matters.

Three days later, Chen Yu returned to Hengdian again, and they had to rush to Jinyun Xiandu Scenic Area in Lishui to film the "Fairy Island" scene of the fairy sword!

The wedding scenes of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er were completed here.

At the same time, there are a lot of intimate scenes... which can be regarded as the sweetest plot in "Sword and Fairy".

It's a pity that Zhao Ling'er never had a good life after this.

I have to say that the screenwriter must be stabbed first!
