Full-time actor

Chapter 126 [125] Nortel’s opportunity!

"Director Zhang, as long as you see the Liu Yifei I'm talking about, all the stars you think will be dimmed!"

"Really, I'm definitely not bragging!"

"I, You Jianming, put my words here!"

"..."

As soon as Chen Yu came in after making the call, he heard You Jianming's bragging voice.

Zhang Dabeard and Zhou Xiaowen gathered around him and formed a small group; the group in the Beijing circle was obviously not something that people like them in the TV drama circle could touch, and they belonged to two completely different groups.

In the words of a senior in the industry, movies are inherently higher than TV series; whether domestic or foreign, Hollywood also pursues movie supremacy.

"Hey Xiao Chen, you came just in time!"

You Jianming saw Chen Yu walking in and immediately waved to him; of course the two knew each other. The audition for "Golden Dust" was originally a back door for Ji Qiannan through his relationship. In addition, he often came to the set during the filming of "Golden Dust", so the two I have had several private conversations with each other.

"Mr. You!"

Chen Yu walked up to You Jianming, and You Jianming immediately said: "Come on, let's talk to Producer Zhang about whether what I just said is wrong, and whether Liu Yifei has her own astrology, and is she like the gang in China?" Young actors are different!”

"Temperament, I mean temperament!"

"Well, there's definitely nothing to say about temperament..."

Chen Yu echoed there, not daring to say more.

In this situation, too much talk will lead to mistakes. All you need is deliberate flattery. If you say that I think he is suitable to play Wang Yuyan, Zhang Beard will think that you made the decision for me?

So this is the best so far.

What You Jianming obviously wanted was what he said: "Producer Zhang, it's really not my fault. Your crew needs young actors, and Liu Yifei can definitely do it!"

"Zhang Zhi, how about... get in touch?"

Zhou Xiaowen glanced at Zhang Jizhong, but Zhang Jizhong looked at Chen Yu, and his attitude was not as strong as before. Obviously, the promotion incident of China National Theater had some influence on him.

"Xiao Chen, tell me the truth, what is this Liu Yifei like?"

Zhang Jizhong asked Chen Yu. Chen Yu saw that several people were looking at him, especially You Jianming, who looked like you just tell me and I will tell you the truth.

Chen Yu didn't know what the relationship was between You Jianming and Liu Xiaoli, or Yifei's father and godfather, so he should be so supportive.

But after thinking about it, given the Liu family's status, maybe You Jianming has benefited from it.

“My acting skills are mediocre, but I’m improving quickly!”

"And she will soon enter the Chinese drama industry. She is a classmate with me. The temperament that Mr. You mentioned just now, personally, is even better than that of Dong Jie in "Golden Dust". She has an eye-catching feeling and is more confident. , cheerful!”

"Oh, she is quite versatile and has a good foundation!"

Chen Yu didn't exaggerate what he said, but he just focused on the key points. Although there are several classes in the Performance Department of China National Theater, they are arranged according to the results of the third test. The 30 candidates with the best scores in the third test will be selected. Just one class.

Then 31-60 are the candidates from Class ; and finally are the candidates from Class .

"Are you familiar with her?"

Zhang Jizhong suddenly said something.

Chen Yu did not deny it: "She's familiar, I was in the same class as her for the art exam!"

"We are filming "Golden Dust" together again. Although we don't have opposite roles, the schedules are the same!"

"Let me think about it..."

Zhang Beard was indeed a little moved. Of course, the most important thing he was thinking about was which role Liu Yifei was suitable for.

"Do you have her contact information?"

Zhang Bearded asked Chen Yu directly. Chen Yu glanced at You Jianming. You Jianming was very satisfied with Chen Yu's point and said with a smile: "It's the same, you can give it. I'll tell her mother about it then!"

"Fuck her, her mother is her manager!"

"It will be all right!"

Zhang Dabeard only needs contact information.

Chen Yu immediately told Zhang Jizhong Liu Xiaoli's mobile phone number.

"Well, I will take the time to contact her in the next few days to see which role she is suitable for!"

"A'Zhu, A'Zhu has never found the right one!"

Zhou Xiaowen, who was next to him, raised his eyebrows and nodded with a wide beard: "Okay, then A'Zhu!"

"Old Zhang, let me reveal another news to you!"

You Jianming suddenly approached Zhang Jizhong's ear and said a few words.

Chen Yu listened briefly, and seemed to be talking about Liu Yifei's father, and Chen Jingfei... Zhang's bearded face suddenly changed, and his originally unconcerned face suddenly became serious.

This is where You Jianming is brilliant.

Let’s name the person first, and then talk about the background; there is indeed a reason why You Jianming is so successful in this circle.

"Then I'll have someone call me now!"

Zhang Jizhong finally thought about it and decided to make a quick decision. After all, there is less than a month left before "Dragon" starts filming, and a lot of effort will be spent on the preparations for the early shooting.

"Xiao Chen, I haven't congratulated you yet!"

"I heard that you won Duan Yu in "Tianlong"?"

You Jianming raised his wine glass, and of course he said this quietly; Chen Yu clinked a glass with him and said modestly: "It's all operated by the company!"

"Okay, I know the process, Lao Zhang just told me!"

"If you become famous in the future, don't forget to support my new drama and so on!"

"sure!"

After Chen Yu added a contact information to You Jianming, You Jianming walked elsewhere.

This man is so versatile, he can talk to anyone, and he really knows how to get things done.

buzzing-

Chen Yu's cell phone rang in his trouser pocket, and he hurried outside and picked it up.

Of course the call was from Chang Li.

"Teacher Chang!"

"Chen Yu, director Huo Jianqi said he knows you?"

Chang Li was smiling on the phone. Could she have frightened Chen Yu with her first sentence?

know me?

How could such a great director know me?

"Did Nortel promise you anything?"

Chang Li's words seemed to be a reminder, and Chen Yu reacted instantly. Could it be that... the opportunity Wang Jingsong mentioned was Huo Jianqi's new movie?

After thinking about it, Chen Yu still felt that it was very possible.

Huo Jianqi was from a group of veteran scholars. As a teacher at Nortel, it was impossible for Wang Jingsong not to know him. And the easiest role to get in a movie is in an art film.

The reason is very simple. There is little investment, no one is filming, and the pay is low. Which famous actor is willing to star in it?

Almost all are new adopters.

But literary and artistic films have another advantage that other films do not have, and that is winning awards.

It is very easy to win awards, whether it is acting awards or film awards.

Huo Jianqi belongs to this kind of director who is well-received but not well-received. He has high qualifications in the industry and is a frequent winner of the Golden Rooster Awards and various foreign awards. However, he has never made a single commercial film, all of which are literary and artistic films.

Therefore, outside the circle, the popularity is very low.

"Well, Mr. Wang Jingsong, the former examiner from Nortel, said he had contacted me for an opportunity!"

"But I didn't ask!"

"I just want to play in the exam!"

"..."

Chang Li on the other end of the phone was so moved!

"Why don't you fight for such a good opportunity?"

"If I fight not to go to Nortel, who will I become?"

"well said!"

Chang Li felt at ease at this moment: "I contacted director Huo Jianqi for you. He is definitely willing to invest. Originally, Nortel seemed to have asked you to try out a role in it. You can see if you want it now. If so, Let me help you by the way!"

"Your acting skills will definitely be fine in art films. You might even win an award or something!"

"The quality of Director Huo's films is quite high, and he is a frequent visitor to major film festivals at home and abroad. Oh, by the way—"

Chang Li slapped her thigh suddenly: "Your manager, that Qiannan, is very familiar with Director Huo!"

"What?"

"My agent, Sister Qian?"

Chen Yu was a little confused. Did Ji Qiannan know Huo Jianqi?

"Yes, Xiao Jia used to be Jia Hongsheng, who was Director Huo's favorite actor and acted in 2 or 3 of his plays!"

"My day..."

Chen Yu never expected that after wandering around for a long time, they were all his own people.

Then I contacted this old circle.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask her right now!"

"It's okay. I'll tell him for you. It would be great to be in his new movie!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu still had an unreal feeling.

Damn it, Ji Qiannan and Huo Jian got to know each other?

As an agent, why is he so awesome?

Or else we can say that entertainment is a circle. After going around in a big circle, I finally found that we all know each other.

Nortel's Wang Jingsong, China Theater Company's Chang Li, and their own agents.

"This is easy to handle!"

They are all our own people. In the current environment of literary and artistic films, there is no one to invest in them.

In fact, according to Huo Jian's status as a celebrity, there should be people investing in him. But, his last movie failed really badly. The domestic box office was 0; the foreign box office was also from abroad.

If you can't sell your copyright, it's all for nothing.

In today's environment, if you don't win an award, it's good if the film can sell for tens of thousands of dollars.

Foreigners also have to take risks, what if they can’t be sold abroad?

Therefore, for various reasons, Huo Jian was popular but not popular. In the end, the worse he got, the worse he got.

After 2010, there is almost no news about this director. Although he has been filming and the leading actors are also good. Bald Xu has played the male lead in his films, but there is no splash at the box office.

In the era when box office is king in later generations, that is simply impossible.

The current investor of "Warm" in his previous life was also a little-known small company. Huo Jianqi begged many people to get the 150 million investment.

"Sister Qian!"

Chen Yu went upstairs and immediately found Ji Qiannan, who was dancing and having a lively conversation there.

On this occasion, my manager was as at home as a duck in water.

"What, I'm trying to get you some business!"

"Those are the leaders of several brands in Greater China..."

Ji Qiannan was a little dissatisfied with Chen Yu's temporary pull.

"I have something to do with you!"

"Do you know...director Huo Jianqi?"

"I know!"

"We just met before!"

Ji Qiannan seemed to be talking about an extremely ordinary thing, and after finishing speaking, she sighed: "Now, it's hard to say whether you recognize him or not!"

Indeed, this is the circle.

When you are in despair, a dog will come up and urinate on you, and after peeing, it will growl and growl.

"It's okay, it'll be easier if you know me!"

"Come with me to meet him in a few days!"

"Ok?"

Ji Qiannan didn't pay much attention at first, but when she heard this look, she was a little shocked: "You...what did you say?"

"I said, let's go meet him together in a few days!"

"You...you're going to act in his movie?"

Ji Qiannan became obviously excited. She knew better than many people what kind of person Huo Jianqi was.

The rise of her former artist Jia Hongsheng can be said to have a lot to do with him.

This person's movie is a star-maker.

"No!"

Chen Yu corrected Ji Qiannan's mistake, smiled and said: "It's not me acting, it's me who wants to invest in his movie!"
