Full-time actor

Chapter 125 [124] An unexpected news at the reception!

"Mr. Pu, you really got a big deal this time!"

"The student who is so highly praised by China Drama has been signed by you to your own company!"

"Chen Yu will definitely become famous sooner or later..."

"I heard that the acting is pretty good!"

"..."

At the cocktail party, a bunch of bosses complimented Pu Lin, making Pu Lin feel a little elated and his face was quite bright.

He could imagine that Chen Yu would become popular, but he didn't expect that he would become popular so quickly, and Zhongxi also helped push him along.

In the past few days, there has been a lot of discussion about Chen Yu in the circle, and many people have called to congratulate him.

The reception was held today, which was a very suitable time. It was a good opportunity for several film and television company bosses in the imperial capital to get to know their artist.

Originally, Pu Lin really didn't want to take care of this brokerage company, but Chen Yu's fame made him suddenly become interested.

“Pu Lin’s circle is okay!”

Chen Yu, who put on make-up and a custom-made suit, walked out gracefully. His hair was also carefully taken care of, making him look full of stardom.

It looks very eye-catching and is definitely the focus of the crowd.

It's not that Chen Yu deliberately planned this well. The cocktail party, of course, has to happen at the right time. If you come here looking slovenly, it will obviously have a bad influence. At any rate, he is somewhat famous now, so he must be careful. Ichiban.

"All the Huayi Gang are here!"

Chen Yu saw the two Wang Zhongjun brothers, as well as several artists under his banner, such as Li Bingbing, Fan Ye, and Huang Xiaoming, who were actually here.

Lu Xuechang and Feng Xiaogang were also there.

The crew of "Dragon", the crew of "Golden Dust"... several people Chen Yu had come into contact with were also chatting there.

Looking around, half of the senior officials in the imperial circle were here, and Chen Yu had to admire Pu Lin's connections.

He probably also has a place in the Beijing circle.

There should not be many people in the Beijing circle at the moment, such as Ye Daying, Wang Shuo, Zhao Baogang and others. Feng Xiaogang is currently only a non-staff member, like Huayi.

"Sister Hua..."

Chen Yu also saw Wang Jinhua. It was really a "gathering of stars", but they were not celebrities, but all CEOs of film and television companies.

"Chen Yu, come!"

Pu Lin saw Chen Yu, who looked a bit dazzling in the crowd, and quickly waved to him; Chen Yu immediately walked over and saw a few people sitting there.

Damn it, this is Pu Lin’s strength!

Ye Daying, Wang Shuo, Zheng Xiaolong, Zhao Baogang, Haiyan... a group of people from the Beijing circle were actually here.

They are all the brothers from the big courtyard, the so-called "Old Paoers", and among them, they must be headed by Wang Shuo and Ye Daying.

Needless to say, Ye Daying, Wang Shuo relied on his strength to fight.

He is a writer, and his novels have been adapted into TV series and movies, and all of them have been hits; starting from the first "The Unruly Man" in 88, the best-selling movies at the domestic box office every year have been adapted from his works.

He is truly the God of Wealth in the industry, and many investors and directors point to him for food.

Especially Feng Xiaogang, since working with him, he has directly become one of the three major directors in China. "Party A and Party B" made him famous overnight.

The same is true for Jiang Wen. "Sunny Day" is an adaptation of his "Animals Are Ferocious"!

Therefore, no one can shake his status in the Beijing circle.

"She has a star look!"

Wang Shuo looked at Chen Yu and smiled. Ye Daying was twirling the bracelet and grinning: "You don't want to see who signed it?"

"Do you think I would believe it? It must be some brother's suggestion!"

Wang Shuo tilted his head, looking very naughty. Pu Lin said in Chen Yu's ear: "These are the big men in the circle. Recognize their faces..."

"What's this mess?"

Of course Chen Yu knew who these people were, and Pu Lin obviously didn't introduce them to him when he called him.

He doesn't have the qualifications either.

These are probably the ones who are interested in him, so take a look for yourself.

Chen Yu felt a chill. Whoever gets tired of playing with female celebrities would be in trouble if he wanted to change his taste.

Boys should protect themselves when they are outside!

Grass!

However, Ye Daying's words about who signed the contract made Chen Yu's heart move. It seemed that it was Jiana Shahati who suggested him to Ye Daying, and then Pu Lin signed him.

Does Ye Daying also have shares in this company?

Otherwise, why would he recommend that he sign with this company?

Chen Yu had some guesses. Sure enough, Pu Lin asked him to leave again, and Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, these sexual orientations are normal.

The abnormal ones should all have playmates now, and he, who is not proactive, is probably not interested either.

"Has Huo Jianqi been looking for you?"

A sudden sound of conversation floated over to Chen Yu's ears.

"Huo Jianqi?"

Chen Yu paused, turned his head as he moved forward, and saw two unfamiliar bosses, who seemed to be discussing something.

Chen Yu remained calm and took a glass of wine as if he was drinking, but his ears were perked up.

This Huo Jianqi is a very famous director.

However, not many people know about it, but he is a very big shot in the circle; he is a Nortel student in the same class as Chen Kaige and Lao Mouzi, but they are majoring in fine arts.

"I found it, I sent him away!"

"Why are you investing? It's some kind of literary film. Who is it adapted from?"

"Mo Yan!"

Another boss laughed and said, "Mo Yan, Lao Mouzi's award-winning film "Red Sorghum" was adapted from his novel!"

"It's useless, the last one made me suffer badly!"

"Two million, all in vain!"

"Didn't you make $8?"

"Stop talking, how the hell did I know that this stupid Japanese devil was so treacherous? Do you know how much his movie box office was in Japan?"

"8 million yen, bastard!"

"Nearly 6000 million yuan!"

"..."

Chen Yu knew which movie the two people were talking about.

Huo Jianqi's "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was Liu Huohua's first movie.

This is a literary film. It is said that the box office in the mainland was 0, yes, it was 0. Not a single copy was sold in the theaters, and no one in the theaters cared about it.

The art film market in 02 was so bleak. However, this movie set the highest box office record for domestic movies in Japan - 8 million.

It surpassed Lao Mouzi's "My Father and Mother" in one fell swoop!

Unexpectedly, this person actually invested in this movie?

Chen Yu glanced at the other person, but didn't have the slightest impression; of course, this was normal. Although the movie was sprouting inside and outside the walls, and sold out overseas, it had nothing to do with him.

Because the losses were so severe at the time, as soon as he heard that someone was buying his overseas copyright, the boss directly sold it for US$8.

I really thought I had met someone who was taken advantage of.

I didn’t make a penny in China, but a stupid old man went out and spent 1 US dollars, which is almost 8 RMB, to buy it. A fool would not sell it.

Then there is no more then.

Japan earned 8 million yen from this movie.

The male lead Liu Huohua and the female lead Shen Hao in this movie were Huo Jianqi recommended by Chang Li.

Nortel's directors always prefer actors from Chinese operas.

"This one definitely means no investment at all!"

"Don't invest either. This is a blind cat catching a dead mouse. There is no domestic market; you can't do it abroad..."

This is true.

These days, you don’t even know anyone for overseas distribution, so you can only rely on selling copyrights.

Li Yang's "The Blind Shaft" was sold for 200 million US dollars based on this. Of course, he sold it after winning the award, so there will be a premium; although Huo Jianqi's "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" also won an award, but it was not sold at the Montreal International Film Festival. Much worse.

Moreover, this boss was the Japanese who sold it before he won the prize. He suffered too much loss and was anxious to sell.

Teacher Chang must have Director Huo Jianqi’s phone number..."

If these two bosses don't invest in Huo Jianqi's upcoming new movie, Chen Yu can't wait!

Not surprisingly, Huo Jianqi's new film "Warm" won the Golden Kirin Award for Best Film at the Tokyo Film Festival, and the second male lead also won a Best Actor at the Tokyo Film Festival.

These days, there are only 9 A-class film festivals in the world. The Tokyo Film Festival is definitely the No. 1 in Asia. It cannot even catch up with the Golden Horse and Pat Horse among the three gold medals, let alone the Golden Rooster.

It is the number one film festival in Asia.

Although his reputation is lower in later generations, he is still very influential in Asia.

"This movie must be won!"

"Warm" is adapted from Mo Yan's novel "White Dog Swing"; it was also because of the success of the movies "Warm" and "Red Sorghum" that Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012.

These two movies actually contributed a lot to his winning of the award. As for the book, of course it was also a big part of the reason.

But the output of film and television dramas is actually more intense than literature.

"And, you can also get a role!"

The male protagonist of "Warm" is a young man.

"I remember that when I won the Golden Qilin Award, the one who presented the award to Huo Jianqi seemed to be Emperor Gong, right?"

Gong Li was indeed the chairman of the jury of that Tokyo Film Festival.

It is absolutely beneficial for Chinese movies to have this Chinese person as the number one on the jury.

The probability of Chinese films winning awards is very high.

And Gong Li also happened to graduate from Chinese opera.

"If there is a leader, there will definitely be a leader!"

When Chen Yu thought of this, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Using his urine escape, he walked to the road downstairs and dialed Chang Li's personal phone number.

Chang Li usually uses the office phone to contact her, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a mobile phone.

"Chen Yu, what's going on?"

Chang Li's voice was as crisp and clear as ever.

"Teacher Chang, do you have Director Huo Jianqi's contact information?"

"Huo Jianqi?"

Chang Li thought for a moment: "Yes, you want to star in his new movie?"

"No, I want to invest!"

"invest?"

Chang Li on the other end of the phone was obviously startled: "You...you invest in making movies?"

"Yes, I happen to have some money!"

"Kid, you can't make a movie with just a little money!"

Chang Li was dumbfounded.

Chen Yu had no choice but to say: "Teacher Chang, I know, I have a few million, a few million should be enough!"

"..."

Chang Li was immediately silenced by Chen Yu's words.

This kid, when you say you have some money, do you mean how many millions?

If Chang Li knew that Chen Yu had tens of millions, she would probably be scared crazy.

"Okay, I'll look for it for you, but don't mess around. Movies are not that easy to invest in, do you understand?"

"Discuss this with your parents!"

Chang Li asked with concern. She thought Chen Yu was using his parents' money to invest.

"I know, Teacher Chang, please trouble you!"

"Take your notes!"

"It's okay, Teacher Chang, just tell me, I'll remember it!"

Chen Yu's memory was not bad. After Chang Li said it twice, he wrote down Huo Jianqi's mobile phone number.

"Chen Yu, do you want me to talk to Director Huo first?"

Chang Li thought it might be better to tell Huo Jianqi first.

"That would be great. It saves me the trouble of introducing him to you!"

"Then you wait for the letter, I'll have a phone call with him first!"

After Chang Li finished speaking, she hung up the phone; Chen Yu clenched his fists, feeling very excited.

With Teacher Chang Li as a lobbyist, the success rate of this investment will be even higher.
