Full-time actor

Chapter 460 [25] Get out of seclusion! Attend the Oscars!
scoff!

The paper-thin blade gently slid over the clay, and the originally rough facial model instantly revealed a smooth base.

Chen Yu's eyes were focused, his breathing was slow, and he looked at the skull of the female corpse in front of him very seriously, for fear of disturbing the carving knife in his hand.

Snapped--

After cutting out the rudimentary shape of the face, he picked up a small spatula and carefully and slowly outlined it along the bridge of the nose, eye sockets and other parts.

The exquisite facial features and expressions suddenly restored the smashed face to its proper three-dimensional feel.

A very classy and beautiful face.

"..."

Yang Baoxin, who was standing next to him, had been watching from the side when Chen Yu took the sword, and he couldn't help but nodded at this time.

Chen Yu's talent as an embalmer far exceeded his imagination; of course, this was also related to his serious personality, plus he really worked hard. During the half month of learning encoffining with him, except for eating and sleeping, he did almost everything They are all studying related skills.

In front of the deceased was a female star who jumped to her death.

Skin texture, eyelashes, eyeliner... As the lines deepen and increase, gradually, the face of the female corpse becomes more and more like a real person. With Chen Yu's makeup skills, it becomes more and more perfect.

Chen Yu put the peanuts on the plate in front of Yang Baoxin. Yang Baoxin took a sip and let out a tut: "It's been 40 years and I still haven't gotten used to drinking this Japanese sake!"

At this point, Yang Baoxin was quite impressed.

Chen Yu gave the old man a rare suggestion. Yang Baoxin's eyes were cloudy and he looked at the door with his glass in his hand. After a while, he came back to his senses and nodded: "That's right, it's time to go back. I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. Now in Japan!”

Chen Yu was not like a traditional apprentice who only listened to his master. Because Chen Yu asked him about this process, he did not deny it and supported Chen Yu in doing so.

"rest in peace!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The old man's monthly income is actually not low at all. If it's good, it's 4 to 5 yuan a month, which is estimated to be one million gold coins.

"Pity!"

"give up?"

The female star just now cost 10 Gang, equivalent to more than 7000 RMB.

"Well, I believe this!"

"It's time to retire!"

"Old man, I'm also online, don't think I don't know anything!"

"You can retire and go back and take a look!"

Yang Baoxin crushed the peanut skin, flicked his fingers, and opened his mouth. He was so skilled that he didn't even need to look at him with his eyes. This old man was such a wonderful man. After getting along with him for a long time, he felt more and more that it makes sense for people to be kind-hearted as they age.

"I thought I had found a successor, but you kid has tricked me!"

His burial techniques were different from Yang Baoxin's. Yang Baoxin liked to do the most difficult part of the head first, while Chen Yu restored her limbs and then coordinated her face shape.

Even if he comes into contact with this stuff every day, in Chinese terms, it is too yin-y.

This is Chen Yu's guarantee to Yang Baoxin.

"Tomorrow's flight?"

Yang Baoxin sighed and looked at the makeup pen in Chen Yu's hand. The slender lines smoothly passed under the tip of the pen, and his yellow-skinned face suddenly became radiant.

"My bloodline has been completely cut off!"

"..."

Yang Baoxin picked up the wine glass and touched it with Chen Yu. Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Then you cough so badly, why do you still smoke and drink?"

"If it is made into a movie, more people will come to this industry!"

So Chen Yu actually understood her family's wish to have her buried beautifully.

"Really, I have nothing more to teach you!"

When he returns home, he will be a millionaire.

With that said, Yang Baoxin took out the belongings of his work and the undertaker's treasure box.

"She is a beauty!"

“I’ll leave this thing to you and find someone who’s destined for me!”

"Don't worry, even if I don't do this, I won't dare to cut off the root of your veins!"

That's right, sleeping in a coffin every day would be strange if the yin energy is not strong; the place where he lives is also gloomy and does not see the sun all year round, but Yang Baoxin is a strange person, and after being in contact with him for a long time, Chen Yu knew his temperament.

"Haha, then I'll have someone take you back?"

Yang Baoxin was coughing there, and Chen Yu stepped forward slightly and patted him on the back. The grandfather and grandson looked harmonious in the night light; it was also a nearby izakaya, and Yang Baoxin liked to have a few drinks after every mission. In his words, sleeping like this was a solid experience.

Chen Yu said slightly and put away the tools.

"No, your master and I have spent a lot of money on eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling over the years, but I still made a lot of money!"

The two of them drank until early in the morning, and Chen Yu sent him back to the living room, but when he turned to leave, the old man who was a little drunk stopped him.

Yang Baoxin suddenly raised his head and said. Chen Yu, who was helping him peel the peanuts, was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes!"

Chen Yu looked at it blankly and took it without saying a word.

"One last thing to say to you!"

"In our industry, we have many unwritten rules for ourselves. We don't attend weddings and birthday banquets of relatives and friends. We don't take the initiative to tell others about our profession. We don't hand out business cards or shake hands. We don't say hello, goodbye, and have a good trip to our visitors. Take care and wait!”

"But, with me, there are no taboos!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Yang Baoxin waved his hand, and Chen Yu turned around with the treasure box in hand, but still couldn't hold it back. He knelt down and kowtowed three times towards Yang Baoxin who was about to close the door: "Master, I'm leaving!"

"Well, I don't need you to worry about me!"

"Make a good movie, make a good movie, and let the whole world know about the career of an embalmer. You didn't learn from me in vain!"

Wow!

The shop door of the Human World House was closed, and Chen Yu stood up and looked at the inconspicuous house in front of him. In his heart, bits and pieces of his interactions with the old man during this period of time passed before his eyes.

Yang Baoxin knew Chen Yu's secret, and Chen Yu also knew his.

Carrying the treasure box, Chen Yu walked towards the road without looking back. Yang Baoxin, who had reached the patio, raised his head with difficulty and looked at the coffin in front of him, with a trace of reluctance in his cloudy eyes.

He actually knew many days ago that Chen Yu was not here to learn skills sincerely. In other words, he was sincere, but his profession was different.

But Yang Baoxin still taught him, because firstly, his time was running out, and secondly, for such a talented apprentice, he really didn’t have much left.

"Maybe, this is my life!"

"I should have thought of it the day I escaped from abroad!"

Yang Baoxin stroked the coffin in front of him, slowly touched the end of the coffin, then stepped into the coffin tremblingly, and lay down in his clothes.

He raised his head and saw a piece of white paper stuck on the back of the coffin lid.

"This boy!"

Yang Baoxin smiled and looked at the farewell letter written by Chen Yu to him, with a different emotion flashing in his eyes.

For the first time in so many years, Yang Baoxin experienced something other than loneliness.

"Cough cough cough-"

The familiar coughing sound seemed to float through the ancient coffin into the ears of Chen Yu who had just got into the car.

"Terminal lung cancer!"

Chen Yu had seen the CT report sheet that the old man had placed under the pillow in his bedroom. He saw it when he was helping to clean up the room.

"Boss Chen, my experience is over!"

Chen Yu was texting with Chen Guoren, the president of the Philharmonic Club.

Chen Guoren replied quickly: "Congratulations, Mr. Chen!"

"Well, for the advertising cooperation you mentioned before, I can give you a plan. Many of the filming locations for our film about burials can be completed at your company!"

"For specific plans, you can contact the marketing department of my domestic company. I have already made an agreement with them!"

"Good good!"

Chen Guoren was very excited.

"However, I want to entrust you with something!"

"Just say it!" "Mr. Yang, please arrange for a few trustworthy people to take care of him. If he wants to return to China, you can also help..."

"This must be no problem, it's just a matter of words!"

How much does it cost to hire a few talents?
Compared to working with Chen Yu, this is nothing.

"Then thank you, President Chen!"

"You're welcome, you should do it!"

"Then let's do this for now, I'll catch the plane!"

Chen Yu said and hung up the phone after hearing the reply.

……

More than an hour later, Chen Yu arrived at Tokyo International Airport with his luggage. He had to go to the United States to attend the Oscar Awards Ceremony.

The treasure box that Yang Baoxin gave him was just handed over to Masahiro Motoki who came to the airport, so that he could properly bring it back to the crew for placement. The filming of "The Embalmer" has now started in Shanhang County. This is an important part of the movie. place.

Of course, in addition to experiencing the Embalmer these days, Chen Yu also thought carefully about the script of "The Embalmer" and discussed many of its contents with the director Yojiro Takita.

There are quite a lot of changes.

However, it does not conflict with the core and content of the script. The main thing is the identity of the protagonist, who is not Japanese in the original work.

He is a Chinese who has lived permanently in Japan for three generations. He has been in Japan since his grandfather's generation, similar to Yang Baoxin.

Japan does not have a permanent residence and naturalization system. Chinese people who live permanently in Japan can also retain their nationality; the children they give birth to are also Chinese nationals, and there are hundreds of thousands of such Chinese people in Japan. Many of them stay in Japan for various reasons. Got there.

For example, Yang Baoxin fled from China to Japan in the 60s.

"You finally showed up!"

Zhang Ziyi wore sunglasses and took a photo behind Chen Yu who was standing in the waiting area of ​​the airport. She is currently filming "Memoirs of a Geisha" in Japan, so the two of them went to the United States together.

"As you said, don't you always know where I am?"

Chen Yu smiled. Of course the two of them had talked on the phone and texted each other before.

"What kind of profession are you really experiencing?"

Zhang Ziyi was a little afraid of the cold and did not dare to approach her. Chen Yu stretched out his hand in front of her: "This hand just touched a female corpse this morning!"

"Eh~~~"

Zhang Ziyi immediately took three steps back subconsciously, her face turning pale.

"I lied to you, let's go in first!"

Chen Yu smiled and said hello, and Zhang Ziyi was just about to join him when she saw countless reporters rushing towards them.

"You have reporters following you wherever you go..."

Chen Yu complained to Zhang Ziyi, and Zhang Ziyi smiled and said: "It's not my fault. They are obviously here for you. Who made you disappear for so long?"

"Go away, you brought it!"

"But I saw you..."

Zhang Ziyi's words were indeed correct. The reporters originally came after Zhang Zi, but now they saw something even more important.

And the key point is that many Japanese reporters also know that the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" has to attend this year's 77th Oscar Awards ceremony, so some of them are here specially to wait.

They are now eager to know whether the news that is currently circulating in the outside world is true.

That is whether Chen Yu was there specifically for a movie to experience the character's career.

Although this is normal for actors, who is Chen Yu?

If this kind of thing is reported, there will definitely be traffic.

So a bunch of reporters rushed up, all asking about this topic.

"Sorry, no comment!"

"I'm in a hurry to catch a flight, sorry!"

"..."

Chen Yu actually doesn't want the media to hype this, because this kind of thing makes the audience reflect.

Being an actor is a profession, and he is just doing things within the scope of his profession. When you experience a role, you will be praised for your professionalism. This is not necessary at all, and it will attract bad people.

Although the current situation in 05 is not so serious, there are always groups who are disgusted; after 2010, they will be waiting to be sprayed.

There is nothing to say about how much money you make and how much hardship you endure.

If you can't make money through hard work, some people think you don't work hard.

Chen Yu finally walked into the terminal, but Zhang Ziyi next to him came up to her in a gossipy tone and said, "After you have experienced this, do you need to see a psychiatrist?"

"Nerve, are you an experientialist?"

"I just worked a job and now I quit, but I know how to do this job!"

The Chen Yu who was a year ago might still be immersed in it, but now he has almost formed his own characteristics in terms of performance; the experience of two lives and the interactions with various movie kings in this life have long made him He has his own acting style.

This is a routine of its own, and every actor will go through this kind of path from scratch to his own conclusion.

"Great!"

"As expected of a double actor!"

Zhang Ziyi's words were obviously ridiculing. Chen Yu didn't waste any words and said directly: "Yes, you should hurry up and do your best!"

One sentence made Zhang Ziyi angrily stare at Chen Yu with her hands on her hips, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. Chen Yu was really afraid that she would do something to him on the plane, so he picked up his phone and started texting Liu Yifei.

Zhang Ziyi came up to take a look, but found herself bored.

"Your wife is very strict. Do you have to tell her even if you get on the plane?"

"Nonsense, I'm not like you. Mr. Huo never asks you!"

"No, aren't there reporters to help me supervise?"

"They also supervise the plane?"

"That must be for sleeping on the plane!"

Zhang Ziyi laughed with a pun.

"Haha, I want to text my wife!"

Chen Yu raised the phone in his hand, and Zhang Ziyi rolled her eyes at him angrily, feeling that this guy was really out of tune with the entire circle!
He doesn't accept interviews from reporters, doesn't stand out, and seems to have nothing else to do except attending award ceremonies and filming.

Reporters now don't even report on his scandal. After all, it's just a back and forth. The whole world knows that he and Liu Yifei are in a relationship, but there is no official announcement. What's so good about reporting this?
After getting on the plane, Chen Yu sent Liu Yifei a message, then put on earplugs and really chose to sleep.

Zhang Ziyi was a little convinced when she gave him a drink.

"Hey, do you want to drink?"

Zhang Ziyi pushed Chen Yu awake. Chen Yu opened his eyes and waved his hand: "No, thank you!"

"No, let's just chat. It's so boring on the plane!"

"Sister, go to sleep. I didn't sleep a wink from 10pm to morning last night!"

This is the truth.

"What did you do? It can't be~~~"

Zhang Ziyi winked provocatively and joked: "Are you leaving Japan and spending the night pampering?"

"Yes, I spent the whole night pampered on the body of a female who jumped from a building!"

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of repairing her face: "That face was smashed to pieces because she jumped from the building and hit the ground. The skull, brain, and plasma——"

"Hey, don't go, don't tell me, that female corpse looks a lot like you, she's also a female star!"

"Go away, Chen Yu!"

Zhang Ziyi decided not to talk to this guy for the rest of her life, damn, it was so disgusting.

"Hahaha!"

Chen Yu laughed there, covered himself with a quilt and continued to sleep.

More than 10 hours later, he finally came to America again after a long absence!

This time, the person who picked up the plane was still an old friend of CAA - senior agent Larson Frick.
