Full-time actor

Chapter 593 [20] "Forbes" is coming!
bang bang bang!
Chen Yu was driving a tractor on a red dirt road, raising dust.

Besides him, Jiang Wen and Kong Wei were also sitting on the tractor.

This was a scene filmed on the third day after Chen Yu joined the crew.

This red dirt road symbolizes the Red Soviet.

"Captain, Captain!"

The villagers suddenly rushed to the end of the road and shouted towards Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was smiling, with a broad smile.

Squeak!

He stopped the tractor, jumped subconsciously, and got directly to the ground.

Jiang Wen and Kong Wei, who were sitting behind the tractor, almost fell off the tractor. This was another metaphor of taking too big a step.

"You...your mother...your mother is missing again!"

The villagers shouted at Chen Yu, while Jiang Wen and Kong Wei jumped out of the car.

"This boy is really a monster!"

“Sometimes I can’t even handle the acting of my opponent!”

After jumping off the tractor, Jiang Wen appeared outside the camera and couldn't help but say something.

Kong Wei laughed, looking very pleased with herself: "In a few days, I will be filming a sex scene with him!"

"Why, are you feeling amorous?"

Jiang Wen is quite talkative in the crew, and of course he knows very well what kind of actresses are like.

When he met Chen Yu, and it was a sex scene, shouldn't he take the opportunity to make the fake scene real?!

It's very normal to get excited during the filming process.

Actors are also human beings and have physiological needs. When they act to a certain extent and certain hormones burst out between them, some things will become a natural result.

Jiang Wen only took one look at Kong Wei and knew that this slut had taken a fancy to Chen Yu.

It’s not that I want to marry him or have a relationship with him, I’m just attracted to him as a person, just like a man who just wants to have a relationship with a woman that goes beyond friendship.

Women have the same idea.

Who made Chen Yu an egg that seemed to have a crack for him to drill into?

Not only is he famous, but he's also an excellent actor. Which actress wouldn't want to create some sparks with him?

After three days, Jiang Wen couldn't find any major faults with him.

Even if there are problems, Chen Yu can correct them quickly.

The acting was as steady as a robot.

Jiang Wen sometimes has to doubt that this guy is really a drama addict. He is so immersed in the script and the role that he cannot extricate himself.

Filming was also very efficient.

Jiang Wen returned to the monitor and watched the segment that Chen Yu had just filmed.

In the end, this one obviously also met his expectations.

"It's over, call it a day!"

Jiang Wen shouted into the megaphone with a relaxed look on his face, and even took the time to whistle.

It has to be said that since Chen Yu joined the crew, Jiang Wen's mentality has become more and more relaxed day by day, and the pressure has been much less, which is completely different from his previous filming.

"You spend the next few days preparing with my first wife. Tell me when the sex scene is ready!"

Seeing Chen Yu coming, Jiang Wen whispered to him: "No, you should practice with this woman tonight. I feel like she wants to read the script with you at night..."

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Wen winked at Chen Yu, and Chen Yu of course knew what this guy meant.

However, he is not the kind of person who will eat anything when he is hungry. Even though Kong Wei looks okay now, she is not his type.

I wouldn’t have done that in the past, but now that I’m famous, if something gets exposed, I’ll be in big trouble.

Chen Yu was also very clear that Kong Wei had been coming to him whenever he had nothing to do these days, so the chances of him having sex with her directly after pushing her down were very high.

The entertainment industry is just like that.

Chen Yu was not a person who was chaste, but he understood many things: too much is as bad as too little.

You often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet.

There are too many lessons from the past.

"Come on!"

“I don’t have such a hobby!”

Chen Yu spoke directly and walked towards the dressing room.

Kong Wei immediately came to Jiang Wen's side and said, "Director Jiang, what does Brother Yu say about the sex scene?"

"How do you say what?"

"You are an old cow eating young grass. You are 30 years old and she is only 22!"

Jiang Wen spoke with a righteous look on his face. If Kong Wei hadn't known that Jiang Wen was also an expert in this field, she would have almost believed it.

"What's wrong with me being 30? Some people like bigger ones!"

"Okay, don't get into trouble, I'm telling you!"

Jiang Wen warned, and Kong Wei could only shrug: "Okay, what a pity..."

"What a pity!"

Jiang Wen laughed and scolded, but in his heart, he couldn't help but look up to Chen Yu a little.

This was the first time he got to know this junior fellow student again.

Seeing that he often brings Liu Yifei with him, I thought they were "fellow travelers". I don't know if he is pretending or really doesn't want to be tempted when he is in such a situation.

Young men in their 20s are all full of vigor and vitality. They will not care about the consequences when they see a woman who is even slightly pretty.

This kid, on the other hand, looked completely uninterested. Jiang Wen had to admit that he admired him very much.

If he had this determination back then, he wouldn't have encountered so many setbacks.

This guy, when he was not famous, was filming "Furong Town" with Liu Xiaoqing, the most famous actress in China at that time, and he forced himself on her on the set.

The other person is 11 years older than him!
What is this like?

Chen Yu’s fame from his previous role in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils gave Gong Huang a sense of déjà vu.

Jiang Wen is indeed awesome.

He is an expert not only in making movies but also in picking up women.

Of course Chen Yu had no idea about the nonsense that Kong Wei and Jiang Wen were talking about, and to be honest he wasn't interested in it.

Just after removing his makeup, his assistant Qiu Junjun came to him with a mobile phone: "Brother Yu, Sister Qian called you several times!"

"What's the matter? Sister Qian!"

Chen Yu called back his agent Ji Qiannan.

"The people from Forbes magazine want to find you to investigate something!"

"Forbes?"

Chen Yu frowned. He certainly knew what these guys were here for.

"The Forbes China office contacted me this afternoon and wanted to do an exclusive interview with you!"

"It will be published along with this issue of the Forbes celebrity list!"

"You're on the list, but they didn't tell me your exact rank!"

The annual Forbes celebrity list is here again.

He was on the list last year and the year before. He was ninth in 04 and second last year, just behind Yao Ming. As for this year... Chen Yu knew why these guys came to find him.

I guess it’s the first place!
What kind of interview is this? Why not investigate the family background at the same time?

But Chen Yu really doesn’t want to be on this kind of list!

Especially the first place, which is a very eye-catching ranking.

Because they are all pig-killing lists.

Although his taxes and donations have always been made, there is definitely no problem.

But such things, being too high-profile, are bound to arouse the public's hatred of the rich and attract all kinds of criticism. In fact, he has tried to be very low-key. Starting this year, he is planning to stop endorsing some domestic shampoo and wine advertisements.

Because his agency contract with Huaxia Audio-Visual is about to expire.

There is also the focus of certain departments.

Also, you can't cheat.

If you under-report, the tax department will investigate, and if you over-report, the same will happen.

"When will they arrive?"

The place where Chen Yu was filming was no secret, so it was unrealistic to hide from him. These guys were haunting him.

They notified Ji Qiannan, which was already a greeting.

These days foreign journalists are still very powerful in the country, after all, they are the uncrowned kings and the fourth power.

"It should be here tomorrow!"

"They called me today and just left the imperial capital!"

"They mainly ask about your income, which they can actually check!"

Ji Qiannan said, and Chen Yu nodded: "Okay, send me the contact number, and I will ask when the time comes!"

"Okay, if you need anything, feel free to call me!"

"Ok!"

Chen Yu hung up the phone and shook his head.

As for the interview with Forbes, Chen Yu was actually helpless. This was the trouble of celebrities. In the face of these professional data structures, there was basically no secret about his annual income privacy.

After all, income and fame are two things that cannot withstand scrutiny. As long as someone finds ways to inquire or check, they can roughly calculate a person's income.

Film pay, advertising fees, notices, box office, etc., many of these will be announced.

Although Chen Yu really doesn't want to be on this kind of list, as a public figure he is subject to public scrutiny. This is the price of his fame.

It is impossible to avoid it.

This is also a type of media. Interviews can also bring traffic and attention. If Chen Yu refuses, it is very likely that Forbes will do something fancy for you.

Just like the Hurun Pig Killing List, if you write your income as high, it's fine if your company is running fine, but if there are problems, then you can expect the tax authorities to come to you.

I can kill you no matter what I do.

Chen Yu just felt it was troublesome, not that he was afraid of being investigated.

There is nothing wrong with making money in an honest way.

So Chen Yu didn’t think much about it.

……

The next morning, after he had filmed a few scenes, he thought Forbes's men had arrived.

Unexpectedly... the nominations for the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards are out.

Chen Yu was nominated for Best Actor.

"Extraction" has become the favorite to win the award!

The box office has just exceeded 7500 million and is indeed very popular in Hong Kong.

And it's not just "Taking Action", there's also "Initial D". Strictly speaking, these two are both Hong Kong movies!
Originally, Liang Jiahui would be nominated for two Best Actor awards this year for his roles in "Election" and "Everlasting Regret", and he finally won the Best Actor trophy at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

However, this year, because of Chen Yu, he was only nominated for one film.

"Underworld", Liang Jiahui.

As for Chen Yu, both of his films were shortlisted.

That is, he was nominated for Best Actor for "Initial D" and "Taken".

This really caught Chen Yu off guard.

Obviously, being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards does have some use in terms of fame and box office.

"Initial D", "Man in Black", and "A World Without Thieves" ranked among the top three box office hits in Hong Kong this year!
Ranked fourth is Jet Li's "Huo Yuanjia"!
Chen Yu’s popularity in Hong Kong now should be higher than that of Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow.

Because the box office of their two films can no longer surpass that of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu made three films a year, all of which entered the record books of Hong Kong's film history, just like Stephen Chow did back then.

"Initial D" grossed 6130 million, second only to Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle", and was previously ranked second in Hong Kong's box office history.

Now it's the third.

"A World Without Thieves" grossed 5114 million, ranking sixth in Hong Kong film history!

"Escape Plan" is currently in theaters and has already broken the 7500 million box office. It is expected to reach the 8230 million of "Kung Fu" and top the list of Hong Kong film history!

One, two, three plus six, and "Blind Well" ranked eleventh!
"House of Flying Daggers" is in the top 20!
Chen Yu's box office appeal in Hong Kong has now reached a phenomenal level, just like the sudden emergence of Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow.

The main thing is that Chen Yu is very popular in Hong Kong, the mainland, Japan, South Korea, and the Chinese mainland.

He is currently the most famous actor in Asia.

So now every film festival and award ceremony wants to take advantage of Chen Yu’s popularity and show their authority.

Of course Chen Yu could understand that. He was putting on makeup, looking at the list of nominees for the Academy Awards given to him by Qiu Junjun, and then he got back to filming.

In the afternoon, Chen Yu finally received a call from Forbes.

"Which one?"

Chen Yu called back, and a voice in not very standard Chinese came from the other end of the line: "Hi, Chan, nice to meet you!"

"I'm a specialist for Hong Kong's Capitalist magazine. You can call me Jim!"

""capitalist"?"

Chen Yu frowned. It was the first time he heard that Forbes was originally called Capitalist?
In fact, the Chinese version of Forbes has only been on the market in China for two years.

There is only one office in the entire China, which is located in the imperial capital, and the branch is in Hong Kong.

The version published in China is actually a simplified version converted from the traditional Chinese version of Hong Kong, and is distributed by Shanghai Fuxing Media.

The name of Forbes magazine in Hong Kong is "Capitalist". The initial ranking of Asia's richest people such as Li Huanggua was published by this magazine.

But that is the richest list, different from Chen Yu’s celebrity list.

Chen Yu estimated that he would not even be in the top 100 of the richest people in China. He might be able to squeeze into the top , but that would also require the company's assets.

"Yes, your agent asked me to come to Yunnan to find you. Our team has just arrived in Kuncheng!"

"Come to your shooting location!"

"Okay, how long will it take?"

"convenient?"

Jim asked gently.

"It's convenient, come over here!"

"Ok, see you later!"

After Chen Yu hung up the phone, he sighed slightly.

These people finally came, and they were barely better than the tax inspectors.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

"A person with a clear conscience fears no slander. Yao Ming and Liu Xiang were fine. I am a law-abiding citizen who pays taxes actively. There is no way they can trace me back!"

Chen Yu was comforting himself.

After thinking about it, the worst that can happen is to do some charity?!
Yes, donate to your alma mater!
Chen Yu's eyes lit up involuntarily. Isn't donating to the Central Academy of Drama equivalent to getting a golden medal of immunity from death?

"This is good!"

"It will not only give me some fame, but also help me get closer to the Central Academy of Drama!"

It is no wonder that many entrepreneurs donate to their alma mater when they become rich. This is indeed very helpful at critical moments.

"Why not set up some kind of support fund?"

"Pull some resources for my juniors!"

Chen Yu took the bus back to the hotel, sending messages to Ji Qiannan and Richard along the way, thinking about things.

At this time, you need to hire a professional team.

Chen Yu is preparing to set up his own brokerage team!
The current assistant agent system in China is obviously totally unsuitable for him!
There is no image marketing, crisis public relations, etc., which is obviously not acceptable.
