Full-time actor

Chapter 127 [126] Sincerity is always a must-win!

The opening reception lasted for a whole day. After cutting a super large cake, the attendees left one after another.

Wang Shuo and the others were the first to leave, basically just to participate, and stayed for less than an hour.

After Ji Qiannan heard that Chen Yu was going to invest in Huo Jianqi's movie, she was in a daze and was out of sorts all afternoon.

"invest?"

A word that she had never thought of in her life actually appeared in her artist's mouth.

This kid, does he have money?

Ji Qiannan asked there, but thinking of Chen Yu's determined look just now, Ji Qiannan felt that this matter... was probably true.

Because Ji Qiannan has experienced countless "frights" from Chen Yu.

Less than half a year has passed, and he has been proving his ability and strength to her with triple jumps almost every month; Ji Qiannan has never seen an artist become famous so quickly even in Jia Hongsheng before.

Jia Hongsheng is already a myth, but Chen Yu is even more ridiculous than him.

Moreover, many of Chen Yu's roles were obtained by himself.

Now the only person the company can help him with is the role of Duan Yu in "Dragon Movie" that he just signed a few days ago; strictly speaking, this role was obtained by his own efforts.

Although she also contributed a little bit to the previous "Golden Dust", in the end, she still relied on Chen Yu himself.

To be honest, 2 months ago, Ji Qiannan would not have believed that Chen Yu could win the second male role in "The Golden Family", let alone Duan Yu in "Dragon"?

This artist of her own is definitely the most amazing one she has ever seen, bar none.

"4 months, 6 dramas..."

Ji Qiannan was completely speechless.

……

Three days later, August 8st!

In the past few days, Chen Yu has been basically experiencing the role of Liu Huaqiang, and by the way, he is familiar with the script of "Conquest".

But today, he and Ji Qiannan are coming to meet a well-known director in the industry-Huo Jianqi.

The two parties made an appointment at a time-honored restaurant near Huo Jianqi's home. They had a meal and reminisced about the past, and talked about film investment. This is probably the style of old-school filmmakers.

In fact, Chen Yu and Huo Jianqi had already talked about the same thing on the phone.

"Director Huo, long time no see!"

Ji Qiannan and Chen Yu had arrived early. When they saw Huo Jianqi and his wife appearing together, Ji Qiannan quickly got up and went to greet them.

Chen Yu also greeted the two people with great respect: "Director Huo, Teacher Su!"

"sit down!"

Huo Jianqi is in his forties and is very silent; he is the kind of person who doesn't talk much. In him, you can't find the arrogance and domineeringness that a director should have.

Moreover, at first glance, he seemed to be a very delicate and sensitive person, gentle and gentle, not in a hurry or angry. He first pulled up a chair for his wife, refused Chen Yu's help, and said thank you with a smile. .

A director who is so well-known in the industry seems so low-key and humble.

But his movies were enough to move Chen Yu.

Perhaps because he graduated from the Department of Fine Arts of Nortel, in his films, the composition of the picture is very beautiful, and he pays great attention to the expression of details.

His character also determines that his works give people a light, elegant feeling, full of romantic and humanistic atmosphere, and have a very implicit literary and artistic quality.

However, compared to him, the lady sitting next to Huo Jianqi, Director Huo's wife Su Xiaohong, may be more famous than Huo Jianqi in later generations.

The two have been childhood sweethearts and are definitely rare examples in the entertainment industry.

The scripts for all Huo Jianqi's films are written by his wife, Su Xiaohong, who graduated from Beijing Normal University Graduate School of Literature. She has always been a frequent winner of the Golden Rooster Best Screenplay, nominated six times and winning twice.

"Tangshan Earthquake", which Feng Xiaogang is more famous for, was written by Su Xiaohong. However, she was actually very resistant to being a film screenwriter at the beginning; if it were not for her husband, she would not have resigned from it.

A very high iron rice bowl position!

However, she later served as the second-in-command of the Filmmakers Association, and the first-in-command was Cheng Daoming.

Qualifications and social circles are not something that ordinary people can compare with.

"Xiao Chen, I heard what Teacher Chang said about you!"

Su Xiaohong smiled at Chen Yu.

It can be seen that the two director and screenwriter couples in front of them, Huo Jianqi is in charge of filming, and the business connection may be this powerful woman in front of them.

"Teacher Chang thinks highly of me!"

Chen Yu smiled modestly. Su Xiaohong liked talented students, so she had inquired about some information about Chen Yu in the past few days. She was actually quite curious about Chen Yu.

The moment I saw Chen Yu for the first time, I was extremely surprised.

Chen Yu was older than she thought. He looked quite mature, not like that kid at all. He was 2 years older than Chen Yu, so he was just a child who hadn't grown up.

"Let's eat first, Director Huo, Teacher Su, I'll have the food served!"

Ji Qiannan asked the two people for their opinions, and the dishes were served quickly.

Huo Jianqi was eating there alone, and Su Xiaohong couldn't help but push her husband: "What do you think of Xiao Chen's character?"

"China Drama told me that it's okay, so it's Xiao Chen!"

Huo Jianqi said very directly.

Su Xiaohong was a little dumbfounded when she heard this: "Then this meal is just a meet-and-greet, a normal meal?"

"Neither!"

Huo Jianqi suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Chen Yu and said, "I want to ask, does the money Chen Yuqian invest belong to the family or your own?"

"Besides, you know the current situation of literary and artistic films in China. It is very likely that they will lose money, a lot of money!"

"You have to be mentally prepared for this!"

Very heartfelt words.

Chen Yu also seemed very serious: "Director Huo, I understand what you said. Don't worry, I earned the money myself. I know it. I have seen all of your movies. I feel that maybe this is also me." An opportunity!" Su Xiaohong and Huo Jianqi were somewhat surprised by Chen Yu's blunt remarks.

The meaning of Chen Yu's words is actually very clear, just to win the award.

"Not necessarily, I can win a prize!"

Huo Jianqi said: "Although my previous works were all good, the domestic literary film market is getting worse and worse, and the Golden Rooster judges are changing every year. You may end up losing both life and money!" "

Huo Jianqi felt that Chen Yu might be impulsive.

But Chen Yu is not confident in his filmmaking, but in his own reborn memory.

The next film he is going to make is "Warm", which are the two best films he has ever made in his life, and the other one is, of course, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog"!

"Director Huo, I am also a filmmaker!"

"Making a movie is inherently a risky thing. Whether or not you win an award, for me, it's good to get it; but if I don't get it, I still have to work hard. But no matter what, making a movie is an acting experience. accumulation!"

"What's more, it's your movie!"

"Then I will definitely benefit a lot!"

Chen Yu's words were extremely sincere, and it was obvious that Huo Jianqi was also a little moved.

Sincerity is always nirvana!

Su Xiaohong next to her even said: "Eating food, eating food, why are you talking about these sad topics? You can't hope that you will order it well, what if it becomes popular?"

"The last movie "Nashan" was also very popular overseas. These people just don't know how to appreciate it!"

She felt very sorry for her husband.

Everyone who has seen "The Mountain" said it was good, but no one expected that the theater did not sell a single copy. I can only say that these people are now more realistic than others.

It’s not that the audience is bad, it’s that the people who control the market have no vision.

"Then there's no problem!"

"Just think about it yourself, I can start at any time!"

After Huo Jianqi finished speaking, he smiled at Chen Yu and started picking up the food.

With these words, the start of filming and investment have basically been confirmed, and then all that remains is to sign the contract and discuss some details.

The meal that followed went quite smoothly. Chen Yu, Su Xiaohong, and Huo Jianqi left each other's phone numbers and went home after the meal.

Huo Jianqi still needed a few days to draft the contract. Chen Yu calculated the time and found that it was almost right.

His company has also been approved. Chen Yu found an agency and hired a legal attorney. The Caotai team was initially established.

"Next, you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to "Conquest"!"

Chen Yu accomplished another big thing. He took the script of "Conquest" and read it over and over again. The script was actually not long, but many lines and details needed to be figured out by the actors themselves.

Fortunately, Chen Yu has a big advantage over other actors. He has watched the entire film of "Conquest" more than once.

Sun Honglei's acting skills are remarkable. Chen Yu thinks that it may be difficult to surpass him, but it is not impossible.

Because he has something to learn from!

Learn from some of Wang Yan's awesome classic scenes, and then use your own acting skills to interpret and act out other plots.

The most important thing is that he looked at Zhang Baolin's video and resume of the real incident.

After all, Liu Huaqiang in "Conquer" was adapted from Zhang Baolin's incident.

Chen Yu believes that based on so many foundations and using his acting skills, it will definitely be much easier to play Liu Huaqiang well than Sun Honglei in his previous life.

This is all a reference to cheating.

Just like the teacher in class asks you to act, it will definitely be much easier than acting out of thin air.

Three days passed by in a flash.

Chen Yu didn't go there for the past three days. He just stayed at home to experience the role of Liu Huaqiang. The evil spirit and the smell of a black boss in his body became stronger and stronger.

His originally thin face gradually gained some fat, and the most important thing was his belly.

Chen Yu has gained almost 10 pounds these days.

The whole person has completely entered Liu Huaqiang's state.

On August 8, Chen Yu rushed to the filming location in Shijiazhuang, a private hospital.

For his first scene, Gao Qunshu had to let him get used to it first, so it was a scene where he went to the hospital to visit someone alone.

The murder and confrontation scenes, which are relatively tense and test acting skills, will obviously be filmed later.

When Chen Yu got off the train station in Shijiazhuang, he saw a drama handler from the "Conquest" crew.

To be honest, the stage manager said that at the first sight of Chen Yu, who was wearing sunglasses and black clothes and black trousers at the exit, he couldn't help but tremble, knowing that this was the person he was looking for.

This momentum was too strong, and countless passengers around him looked at him frequently, with a look of fear on their faces.

Obviously, Chen Yu has the feeling of being a gangster.

The key point is that he also got a haircut similar to that of Sun Honglei in "Conquest" - a straight haircut.

This is more like that!

"Brother Chai?"

Chen Yu took off his sunglasses, walked up to the stage manager who was holding a sign, and spoke in a harsh and cruel tone.

"..."

The stage manager trembled inwardly and hurriedly said: "Yes, it's... it's me. Let's go, I... let's get in the car!"

The stage manager said it bravely, feeling that if the person next to him was displeased, he might take out a machete from his arms at any time and hack him to death!

It's so exaggerated.

So Brother Chai respectfully invited Chen Yu into the car, and didn't dare to say anything along the way. He just covered his head and drove towards the crew of "Conquest".
