Full-time actor

Chapter 591 [18] Liu Yifei at the Husband-Waiting Rock!
Imperial Capital International Airport, parking station.

"Just focus on filming. If you have any questions, call me!"

Chen Yu stroked Liu Yifei's soft long hair. The two were about to part ways, one going north and the other going south.

The crew of "The Sun Also Rises" is in Yunnan, and Liu Yifei is in northern Shaanxi.

"hug!"

Liu Yifei stretched out her arms reluctantly, and Chen Yu smiled and hugged her tightly.

Time passed by minute by minute, until half a minute later, Liu Yifei took a deep breath: "Well, okay, let's go!"

"That's great?"

Chen Yu teased her.

"Go away, you annoying bastard!"

Liu Yifei pushed him out of the car angrily.

"Ha ha!"

Chen Yu smiled, then hugged her, gave her a deep farewell kiss, and said affectionately: "Let's go, be good, take care of yourself!"

"Well, there's my mom!"

"You too, film well, eat well, and don't stay up late!"

"Do you understand?"

Liu Yifei pulled Chen Yu's face, leaned forward and kissed him several times, then pouted and said, "I really miss the days of filming with you!"

"This way we don't have to separate!"

"I'll satisfy you with the next play. Didn't 'Better Days' get approved?"

"That will take a long time..."

Liu Yifei sighed softly and blinked her big watery eyes at Chen Yu, making people reluctant to leave.

The separation between men and women in passionate love is always filled with sadness and reluctance.

Fortunately, Chen Yu was a little tough-hearted. After being gentle for a while, he opened the car door.

Liu Yifei leaned her head against the lowered window of the back seat, watching Chen Yu's back as he walked out, wanting to imprint his appearance deeply in her mind.

Chen Yu suddenly turned around, smiled at her and waved.

"move!"

Liu Yifei quickly stretched out her hand in response, with half of her body exposed outside the car.

A few days of gentle pleasure can really make people intoxicated.

Chen Yu sometimes thinks, why not just live like this in his old age, get married, have kids, take on some acting jobs occasionally, it would be so nice to have a wife and kids to sleep with every day.

After all, his current achievements in this circle are so great that no one can surpass him, but there is definitely no one like him before him.

However, this idea can only be thought of sometimes in your mind.

It's not realistic to actually put it into action.

Not to mention that the popularity of this circle has gradually faded with the disappearance of his works, his position has only just been consolidated at the moment, and he definitely needs a few more movies to completely establish his position in the circle.

At the very least, there should be no worries about retirement.

Now, it is definitely unattainable.

"Come on!"

"I'm working hard to retire after I turn 30, and for my wife to become an international film queen..."

Chen Yu teased and turned back to look at his girl again. She was still leaning against the car window looking out, like a woman waiting for her husband to leave.

After Chen Yu waved to her, he walked into the airport with his assistant Qiu Junjun.

Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun had already been waiting in the waiting room.

"Brother, you're almost there. That's a bit fast. It's been half an hour?"

Jiang Wen glanced at the time, and Chen Yu smiled: "When I said I'd be there soon, I meant to the airport, not to you!"

"So what did you do for the past half hour?"

"you guess!"

Chen Yu and Jiang Wen had no reason to be polite. Jiang Wen laughed at what he said: "I guess damn, who knows what you are doing!"

"Let's get back to the topic. Where's the announcement?"

Chen Yu sat down next to Jiang Wen and greeted Zhou Yun who was standing beside him.

Jiang Wen quickly took out the printed notice: "It's freshly made, and it's scheduled for a month!"

Chen Yu was about to take it, but Jiang Wen grabbed it tightly, showing a rather shameless smile on his face: "It's temporary!"

"I don't care whether you are here permanently or temporarily, I have to leave in a month!"

"My new drama will start filming early next month. I have to join the crew after the Qingming Festival road show for "Departures" and try to have it released during the Spring Festival this year. The schedule is very tight!"

"Commercial film?"

Jiang Wen really didn't know about this because Chen Yu hadn't told him before.

"Hollywood Popcorn!"

As Chen Yu spoke, Jiang Wen frowned, "Which Hollywood company?"

"I invested 1 million US dollars myself!"

"All my wealth is gone, and now I am bankrupt!"

There is no need to worry about Jiang Wen knowing about this, because the media will report it after a while.

"..."

Jiang Wen opened his mouth but said nothing.

Because an investment of 1 million US dollars is indeed a bit exaggerated.

He gave Chen Yu a thumbs up, the meaning of which was self-evident.

With this impact on Hollywood and even spending his own money to make the movie, Chen Yu must be the top figure in the circle.

The key point is that this guy spent 1 million US dollars!

Close to 8 million RMB.

"I think you are really crazy!"

"Isn't it better to invest in China? What kind of people can't be found with 8 million yuan? What kind of team can't be formed?"

There are so many failures in Hollywood!
At least Chen Yu has proven himself with his box office appeal, and his base in the mainland is definitely stable.

“You have to give it a try!”

"Why, Hollywood invited you to make a movie, but you don't want to go?"

"no the same!"

Jiang Wen waved his hands and said, "They gave me money when I went there. What are you doing? Giving them money?"

"Almost, but we have to try, right?"

The reason why Chen Yu dared to do this was not because this movie would definitely be a hit.

Although the script and marketing of "Mission Impossible 4" were excellent, it was more due to the appeal of Tom Cruise.

Chen Yu is obviously a little bit behind at the moment.

But he still decided to do it because he could afford to lose 1 million yuan.

Others cannot afford to lose.

Therefore, they do not have such courage and skills. In Jiang Wen's opinion, it is also a crazy act because the success rate is too low... In addition to having the reborn people who can make money to back him up, Chen Yu also has the biggest advantage.

That is, he can control the script and the movie, which greatly increases the success rate.

And at least it can't be a bad movie.

When he was filming, he knew where every penny was spent, unlike many films currently produced in China, which are suspected of money laundering.

Only when Chen Yu becomes more famous than Jackie Chan in Hollywood will he be able to make movies regardless of the market.

By that time, it would not be impossible to make movies in the mainland.

Chen Yu now undoubtedly wants to open up the internationalization path, and going to Hollywood is the most suitable option for him at the moment.

The paths to success for many non-American actors are similar.

Now that he has become famous in Hollywood, he will definitely invest in making his own movies.

If you try, you may still have a chance. If you don’t try, internationalization will be a joke.

……

“All I can say is, I wish you success!”

"You are so bold. One hundred million dollars, I can't even think of such a thing..."

It was the first time that Jiang Wen looked at his junior seriously. After all, nowadays, not everyone can come up with so much money.

He suddenly grinned and said, "But how come you've earned so much in the past few years?"

"Not bad, I made money from investing in movies!"

"I saw on the news that you haven't lost money?"

"I guess so, what's the matter?" "Then I have a clue about this movie!"

Jiang Wen laughed out loud, and Chen Yu said directly, "Brother, your movie is the only one I'm unsure about, to be honest!"

It hurts my heart, old man.

Jiang Wen's smiling face froze there.

"At the beginning, I was young and ignorant, not famous at all. Director Jiang wanted to make a movie, so I wanted to invest a little. Look, I ended up getting myself into trouble!"

"Fuck off!"

Jiang Wen was heartbroken.

"Are you really unsure?"

Jiang Wen was a little jealous now. Chen Yu nodded: "Well, your movie is too ambitious. I'm afraid the audience won't buy it!"

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

How could the audience not buy into Jiang Wen's movie?!
"Don't worry, I'm just kidding!"

Chen Yu was afraid of hitting him again and letting Lao Jiang down: "If you add me, there should be a guaranteed box office!"

"You don't tell a word of truth!"

"This time I have to let you see your brother Jiang's strength!"

Jiang Wen is quite confident in his ability to make movies.

The two were chatting, and soon they heard the sound of boarding.

Several people hurriedly boarded the plane, and Chen Yu took the notice and the script and started reading them.

"The Sun Also Rises", the script has been revised many times and is very obscure. If you only read the literal meaning of the script, sometimes you will feel it makes no sense.

But it’s not that Chen Yu couldn’t understand it. The main reason was that he had seen the original movie, so it seemed like he had no problem immersing himself in the story.

Jiang Wen rarely disturbed him and took a nap with Zhou Yun on the plane.

It was not until dark at night, after traveling for nearly 6-7 hours, that Chen Yu and his team finally arrived at the county where the crew of "The Sun Also Rises" was located - Yuanyang County, Yunnan Province.

Jiang Wen is a respectable man, and his wife is pregnant again, so he stayed in a hotel in the county town and rented a bus to go back and forth to the crew every day.

Fortunately, Yuanyang is a tourist city. Although the county seat is a poor county, the tourism industry is still developing well.

In particular, the Hani Rice Terraces in Honghe have a history of more than 1300 years and are a world intangible cultural heritage, so they are very famous.

Moreover, relying on this scenic spot, a Qingkou Hani Folk Culture Ecological Tourism Village has been developed!

The filming location of "The Sun" is in this village.

It took Jiang Wen half a year to choose this place. I have to admit that Jiang Wen's aesthetic taste is still quite good.

He has an eye for art.

“Take you to try some local specialties!”

Jiang Wen took Chen Yu to a local restaurant that was familiar to him. As expected, many of the dishes were the first time Chen Yu had heard of them.

Chen Yu ate quite novel things like dried beef, fried bamboo worms and bitter orchid.

However, Chen Yu will officially join the crew tomorrow, so he has to memorize his lines for the first day.

After dinner, he went back to his room alone to meditate.

During this time, he also heard people talking and walking back and forth in the hotel. Chen Yu thought that he would see them after joining the crew tomorrow morning, so he did not go out.

……

The next morning, Chen Yu followed the crew's bus to the filming location of "The Sun Also Rises".

Jingkou Folk Village!
All of Chen Yunan’s scenes as the leading actor Li Dongfang are here.

He is a young man who has never left the village. In fact, he symbolizes the "hope of China"!
Li Dongfang, born in 58, represents a new generation born in the most vibrant era of New China, which means that this generation represented by Li Dongfang is the successor of Zhang Mazi, the historical revolutionary and Crazy Mother China.

He symbolizes the future.

This is also why Li Dongfang is the male lead and Jiang Wen’s Li Bukong, the historical revolutionary, is the male second lead.

The future is hope, and revolution is always the past.

Jiang Wen's film expounds on the hope for China's future.

"Come on, introduce yourself to everyone!"

As soon as Chen Yu got in the car, Jiang Wen subconsciously wanted to tell everyone in the crew.

Who would have thought that photographer Zhao Fei would say, "What are you introducing? Who doesn't know him?"

This Zhao Fei is also a great man. He was Zhang Yimou's exclusive photographer back then.

Zhang Yimou was originally a photographer, so the photographers he likes must be good.

Films like "Raise the Red Lantern" and "The Emperor and the Assassin" were all shot by Zhao Fei.

He will also be the one in the future Let the Bullets Fly.

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Fei's words immediately made everyone in the car laugh.

It can be seen that the entire crew is still very active.

Actress Kong Wei, who had many scenes with the male lead Li Dongfang played by Chen Yu, even said, "Brother Yu, show us some magic!"

"Yes, magic!"

"Teacher Chen, can you perform for us in person?"

“I haven’t watched enough of the Spring Festival Gala yet!”

"..."

There were a lot of people in the car making a fuss, but Chen Yu didn't refuse. If he joined the crew, he had to build good relationships with everyone. Although his current status was like this, he was still an actor after all, and his first principle was to make a good movie.

So he didn't hesitate and gave them a casual close-up shot.

This time, many people were really convinced.

Just this one move is enough to show Chen Yu's magical skills.

"Oh my god, is this performance of yours a half-baked trick? Are you actually a magician?"

Kong Wei laughed wildly without any image.

Chen Yu still had a deep impression of this woman.

In 2000, right after graduating from Beijing Film Academy, he was selected by the Capital People's Art Theater and became the first film academy student admitted in the 50 years since the establishment of the People's Art Theater!

This shows that her acting skills are recognized by the People's Art Theatre.

After all, everyone knows that the drama actors who come out of the People's Art Theatre are the most talented among the talented.

At that time, this incident caused a brief sensation at Beijing Film Academy.

It’s just a pity. Her future would have been almost as good as that of the international star Zhang Ziyi, but she would have been more than qualified to win a domestic Best Actress award.

Jiang Wen is a very good actor.

But plastic surgery ruined myself.

She is currently at the peak of her career and is also quite good-looking.

But after 2010, his fame obviously declined.

After her plastic surgery ruined her look, she just got married; although her TV series and movies were broadcast, she was obviously not famous and was at most a third-tier actress. In many TV series and movies, she was completely reduced to a supporting role!

This is actually the current situation of many talented actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry. Luck and opportunity are more important than anything else.

She could definitely become one of the few actresses in the country!

And then she brought her own death upon herself... This is the cruelty of the entertainment industry. There are actually many people like her in the industry!

To succeed, strength is one thing, but luck and resources are equally indispensable!

Although people know that plastic surgery has risks, many still continue to do it... Of course, this is also a gamble, what if the result is AB?

You can make a living, get resources and be noticed by big guys by relying on your looks.

After that, you don’t need any works and you can still make a lot of money.

I can only say that this is my own choice.

But Chen Yu looked at her current smile as bright as a flower, how recognizable she was!

Why does it have to be an assembly line?
The key point is that the final assembly line has not been successful. Chen Yu couldn’t say anything about this bombshell.

……

Soon, the bus arrived at the filming location.

When Chen Yu got off the car, he saw the original village at the beginning of "The Sun Also Rises". It was exactly the same as the movie scene he imagined.

Li Dongfang’s big home is at the highest point of the village’s terraced fields!

Hani Rice Terraces in Honghe!
"Filming in this environment makes me feel much better!"

"Lao Jiang is really good at choosing a place..."

Chen Yu was smiling, but Jiang Wen came over and said in a loud voice: "Master Yu, do you want to get used to it for a day, watch other people's filming, and get into the role first?"

This "Master Yue" is the nickname that Jiang Wen gave to Chen Yu for a bad taste. Many people in the crew have the same nickname!
