Full-time actor

Chapter 354 [37] Lao Jiang takes action and becomes the loan actor!
"WELCOME TO DIDU!"

The five-year-old girl Chen Tianjia held a lantern and innocently and cutely shouted the welcome speech of the Imperial Capital Olympics.

clap clap clap!
The lights in the rehearsal venue suddenly turned on.

身穿华夏56个民族服装的70名演员，在跑道两侧拉出两块各50米长、10米宽的红绸，上面写着“帝都欢迎你”的中英文以及印有帝都2008年奥运会会徽的图案。

"Not bad!"

"Just arrange it according to this, okay!"

The leader of the Olympic Organizing Committee looked at the first complete rehearsal with a smile on his face, showing a rather pleased smile.

Currently, Chen Yu and others are rehearsing in a closed worker's gym.

It took a whole month of adjustments, and today it finally looks like it’s almost done.

"We will rehearse every other day from now on!"

"How to say?"

"The script you sent me to read, I feel like I can't film it, it's too depressing, and the subject matter..."

After everyone dispersed, Lao Mouzi walked up to Chen Yu. Of course they were going to the Cannes Film Festival.

"We'll leave the day after tomorrow. You can rest for two days. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Director Huo, have you ever thought about making some movies specifically for the Japanese market?"

Chen Yu returned home a little tired and fell asleep. This month of rehearsals was indeed exhausting.

"Then Director Huo, you can talk about it after reading my script. If it doesn't work, you may have to trouble yourself and help me check it!"

"Mr. Chen!"

Chen Yu has specially written a book called "Little Forest·Xia Qiu" for Liu Yifei these days, which should be suitable for training her acting skills.

Zhang Yimou said there that Chen Yu was not idle these days. In addition to rehearsals, he wrote many scripts and just thought of relaxing.

"Director Zhang, when is the premiere?"

He also just returned to China a few days ago and has been in Japan to deal with the release of "Warm"; currently, the total box office of "Warm" in Japan has exceeded 15 billion, which is equivalent to more than 1 million yuan.

After all, his movie style is very popular among Japanese, so Chen Yu was the first to think of him.

"Yes, but I am sure of the story, but I don't understand the shooting scenes, details, and of course many things about the director!"

It's a test of the big screen waters.

He even wanted to suggest that Huo Jianqi would focus on the Japanese market in the future, and then come back when there is a soil for literary and artistic films in the country; however, this would have to be figured out by Huo Jianqi himself, and I guess his will is not that strong.

"Then I'll send it to your email!"

Chen Yu looked at Huo Jianqi, who smiled and said: "You are not the first person to suggest that I do this, but I am only responsible for filming. My wife has to check the script and she must agree to write this kind of script. ah!"

You two are really optimistic.

Many people greeted Chen Yu when they saw him. Chen Yu went straight to his office, where Huo Jianqi was already waiting.

"If you prefer graphics and art style, you should be good at it!"

"It's just a matter of time!"

"Okay, what do you think, Teacher Su?"

If Chen Yu gets his share, it will be as little as 2000 million.

"It's okay. I've written another one here. Director Huo, you can take a look at it when you have time!"

Er Dong has his father, but Yu Xin Pictures is Chen Yu's base, and Chen Peidong doesn't understand the film and television industry, so Chen Yu can only take charge of it himself.

"On the night of the 19th..."

To be honest, Chen Yu is quite curious about how "House of Flying Daggers" will be filmed in this life.

The next day, he made a rare trip to Yu Xin Pictures because there were many things waiting for him to deal with.

"Okay, I'll give you an answer after reading it!"

However, the Cannes Film Festival has almost opened for a week on the 19th. At this time, only Lao Mouzi dares to do this; many directors want to release it as early as possible, which will give more time for negotiation, but Zhang Yimou obviously does not need it. His movie All over the world, there is no need to worry about selling.

Huo Jianqi heard what Chen Yu meant: "Do you want to be a director yourself?"

"Hahaha, actually, these are all easy to handle!"

"Her thinking must be that she will not deliberately cater to them. Sooner or later, there should be soil for accepting literary films in China!"

Chen Yu looked at Huo Jianqi, who was obviously a little thin, and hugged him.

"So early!"

It can be seen that he is still very confident about "House of Flying Daggers".

Huo Jianqi was waving his hands there. A few days ago, Chen Yu sent the story of "The Embalmer" to Huo Jianqi for a look. He was actually quite suitable for shooting such a delicate subject, and the picture quality must be very good. All Japanese are fine.

Mainly, he has also become quite popular in Japan.

"Brother Yu!"

Speaking of movies, Zhang Yimou also had a smile on his face.

Huo Jianqi came up with an idea for Chen Yu: "You find an assistant director, I will lend you my photographer, and I will hire an executive director, and you can just put your name on it!"

This method is a common template for laypeople to become directors in later generations.

Of course Chen Yu understands.

"Then Director Huo, you have to hire a supervisor!"

Chen Yu is still interested in playing with the director.

After chatting with Huo Jianqi for a while, Chen Yu called General Manager Yang Lu in again.

"Brother Yang, how much money is there in the company's account now?"

"5130 million, the first batch of the Japanese share of "Warm" has just arrived, as well as the domestic share of "Blind Well", and copies of "Warm Spring"!"

"Almost less than 10 million were confiscated. There is also the second share of Japan's share of "Warm" and the domestic share of "Blind Well" Treasure Island!"

""Warm Spring" has been released for one month, and the current box office is 1315 million!"

"Including copies from the secondary market, the total box office has exceeded 3000 million, temporarily ranking first in the domestic box office in 04!"

Yang Lu now admires Chen Yu very much. The few movies and TV series he has invested in since the company was founded are almost all big hits. Together with "Warm" and "Warm Spring", which the industry is not optimistic about at all, Japan has set a record. A domestic record was set.

"Then you can plan the plan I told you before!"

"We will use these 5000 million working capital to invest in movies and support directors!"

Of course Chen Yu learned this from Liu Dehua and Section Chief Jia.

Later generations of Ning Hao, Wu Jing, etc. actually did the same thing when they had money, supporting directors and digging for gold.

The most famous ones are the Asian Rising Star Directors, the Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Film Project, and the Sino-US Film Talent Exchange Program... They have cultivated a team of directors who will be the mainstays of China in the future, such as Ning Hao, Lu Yang, Wen Muye, Guo Fan, etc.

So in this life, Chen Yu took the lead in initiating it. He came to the company mainly to discuss this plan with Yang Lu.

The New Movie Project means very simply, new movies, new filmmakers!

"If there is a script submitted, give it to me as soon as possible!"

Chen Yu was talking to Yang Lu, tapping his fingers on the table, thinking about what else he wanted to explain to Yang Lu.

"Oh, by the way, Tang Ren will come to sign the new sharing contract for "Sword and Fairy" tomorrow!"

73 share, Chen Yu now occupies 70% of the share, but he still has to invest almost 1000 million in filming expenses, but all the copyrights are already owned by Yu Xin Company.

Tang Ren has now become a polished commander. Apart from filming, he only gets dividends.

"Okay, Brother Yu!"

Yang Lu remembered one thing, and Chen Yu looked through the company's account books again, and did not return to his residence until evening. "Dragon" ended with an average rating of 5.97% in Baodao, and the actor who played Amu in "Initial D" was also changed to Ke Youlun, the son of Ke Shouliang, under Chen Yu's intervention. Ke Youlun is currently Zhou Jielun's junior brother. A music company with him!
No album has been released, but he has acted in several TV series and movies.

“Next, we can go all out for Cannes!”

Chen Yu has ambitions to win the Best Actor Award at Cannes, but he knows that it will be difficult to get the role for "House of Flying Daggers".

Kung Fu movies are more about fighting.

Although Chen Yu thinks that he performed very well in "House of Flying Daggers", the inherent advantages of kung fu movies are indeed not good.

Jingle Bell!
At this moment, Chen Yu received a long-awaited phone call.

Jiang Wen.

This guy can't wait to film "The Sun Also Rises", but his status as a director won't be released until May 2005, so he is currently preparing the studio and other matters for the filming. I called him at this time. I don't know who he is. What's up.

"Have you found the filming location?"

Chen Yu answered the phone and asked casually.

In fact, the two of them texted each other to express their condolences when everything was fine.

"fart!"

Jiang Wen's magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "I've been looking for three months and haven't found the right one. When will you leave?"

He was asking, of course, about Cannes.

"The flight is the night after tomorrow!"

"Want me to say hi to Quentin?"

Jiang Wen took the initiative and said that he was obviously very concerned about the prosperous times in the industry and knew that the chairman of the jury was a good friend of his.

"Ha ha!"

Chen Yu laughed, and Jiang Wen on the other end of the phone also laughed loudly: "Brother, it's the truth, don't laugh!"

"Okay, please say hello. Mainly, I don't know how the filming of Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers" went, so——"

"Haha, Lao Mouzi, you are so arrogant. How dare you address the most awesome director in the country like that?!"

"..."

Chen Yu really just said it casually.

What he said is also true. If this life's "House of Flying Daggers" still relies on the defense as in the previous life, then he will use his head to compete for the best actor?
However, being shortlisted for Cannes shows that this film is definitely not as bad as its previous life.

Perhaps, we can still look forward to it.

"I don't care about him. Anyway, I'll mention it to Quentin later and ask him to focus on you and what your film is about so that I can brag about it in front of him!"

From this point of view, Jiang Wen was indeed quite righteous, and he invested 1000 million in him without saying a word.

This is not a vote for a movie, but a vote for him.

Lao Jiang's circle of friends, if you want to hang out in this circle, it is indeed worth the price.

"The action scenes are awesome..."

Chen Yu briefly talked about the plot of "House of Flying Daggers" and some of his highlights. You can't be humble at this time. When people say hello to you, of course you have to say something awesome. In Chen Yu's drama, the martial arts scenes are definitely his highlight.

He felt it when filming, plus Cheng Xiaodong's blessing.

"A great fight? Do you know how to do martial arts?"

Jiang Wen didn't know this.

"Yes, I don't use a stand-in, they are all real fights, real combat with real guns, riding horses, bows and cold weapons!"

"Holy shit, is it true?"

Jiang Wen was intrigued by Chen Yu's words: "Quentin is a kung fu fan, you have a lot to offer!"

"Kung fu movies still have to be a little more restricted..."

"That's true, but maybe Quentin's brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people!"

"..."

Did you say that about your brother?
"And Xu Ke, he also likes action scenes. I'll say hello to you later. Don't you basically have two votes?"

One chairman, eight judges, 9 votes, Chen Yuli won 2 votes!
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Chen Yu has actually analyzed this year's Cannes and remembered who the best actor and best actress this year is.

Liu Le Yumi, Zhang Manyu!

The former is the youngest Best Actor in the history of Cannes, a 14-year-old Japanese second-year junior high school student and a quasi-newcomer. This is his second film.

But the director of this drama that won the best actor award is so awesome.

"Nobody Knows" by Hirokazu Kore-eda, a future Japanese master director.

At 14 years old, he is the youngest Best Actor in Cannes, and this alone has attracted a lot of attention.

There is also the first Chinese Cannes Best Actress.

"Okay, leave it to me to give you a good blow. I will definitely help you get this vote!"

"The other three old American judges, probably his people, have already received 3 out of 9 votes..."

What you think is so beautiful.

No wonder they were talking nonsense before the 07th Venice in 64, and the co-authors were all working towards the best plans.

"Anyway, thanks!"

"When I come back, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"You won the Best Actor Award at Cannes, you must invite me!"

"Damn it, if you really get it, you won't be able to win the Little Slam?"

"You have to get it!"

When Chen Yu was with Jiang Wen, he felt like he was already a loan actor?
"Haha, the possibility is very high, Little Grand Slam Best Actor!"

Jiang Wen joked: "Brother, I will help you win Venice and directly achieve the Grand Slam achievement of the three major film festivals!"

"Tsk, tsk, with this status, let alone the number one person in China, Hollywood will be able to run rampant!"

"Stop bragging. If you brag again, I feel like I'm already the best in the world!"

"What if, what if it's achieved?"

Jiang Wen fantasized endlessly on the phone: "If you are really good at this, my movie will already be popular even before it is released!"

This guy can really blow!

Chen Yu chatted with him for more than 10 minutes before hanging up the phone. Mainly because this guy started begging for investment again. All the bullshit just now was for this purpose.

No wonder people say this guy is a master of alms, and he really knows how to flatter himself.

When it comes to PUA, people like Chen Yu are almost deceived, let alone other people.

After calling Liu Yifei for more than half an hour, Chen Yu was ready to sleep.

However, before going to bed, Jiang Wen's text message was sent in time.

"All is ready except for the opportunity!"

"To me, you are already a Little Grand Slam Best Actor!"

"..."

Chen Yu only replied with a series of ellipses, letting him understand by himself.

Two days later, Qiu Junjun helped Chen Yu pack his luggage, and Cheng Peng drove to the Capital International Airport to meet the crew of "House of Flying Daggers"!
