Full-time actor

Chapter 219 [46] Jiang Wen: Brother, are you interested in playing a big game with me?

"The data obtained so far from the broadcast, the average ratings are 4.59%, the ratings at the start of the broadcast were 3.71%, and the highest reached 5!"

"The results are outstanding!"

Liu Guoquan was not used to sending messages, so he called directly.

It could be heard that she was in a good mood; at least this start was much better than she expected.

4.59%!

It has been less than one episode since it aired, and it has already achieved such ratings, which has already beaten the records of the first episode of many popular dramas this year; currently, the prime-time TV ratings of the Central Eighth Television are basically hovering around 3-4%.

You must know that this is the average rating for the entire show, and "Golden Dust" is only the first episode.

So Chen Yu is actually quite excited. In his previous life, "Golden Dust" broke the ratings record of the Central Television for two years. I wonder if it can break a new high in this life.

After a while, the first episode of "Golden Pink Family" has been broadcast.

The average ratings have climbed to 5.01%, which is completely in line with the trend of hit dramas!

As long as the subsequent plot does not collapse, the 6%-7% can also be rushed.

This year's Yangba TV series has not yet had a TV series that broke 6% of the ratings, so not only Liu Guoquan, but also the leaders of Yangba are said to be paying close attention to the ratings of "Golden Dust".

"Xiao Yu, are you the second male lead? Why are you only there for so long in the first episode?"

Shen Xiaolan is still looking forward to Chen Yu's relationship and career. In the first episode of co-writing, he showed up at Jin Mansion?

It was Chen Kun who made everyone more handsome, Dong Jie who played Leng Qingqiu, and Liu Yifei on the other hand. Maybe it was because of the character design and makeup in the play, but Shen Xiaolan didn't feel anything at all. She just thought that this actor was beautiful, and the eldest lady was full of temper. He always gets angry with Jin Yanxi.

“Everyone on the Internet scolded me to death!”

Liu Yifei also sent a message. Of course, she and Liu Xiaoli were also paying attention to the premiere of "The Golden Family", and it was probably because it was the first drama in her life to be broadcast, so they seemed particularly concerned.

She even went to Tianya's film review section to see if there were any posts discussing "Golden Dust".

Looking at it, she actually discovered a lot, but most of them praised Chen Kun, Dong Jie, and the drama; she finally found a few about Bai Xiuzhu, but all of them were unpleasant.

Fortunately, Liu Yifei has a good temper. If it were a 16-year-old girl, she would probably cry immediately.

In severe cases, depression may occur.

"I didn't like this Bai Xiuzhu the moment she appeared!"

"You have a mean look on your face!"

"She also has a crush on Jin Yanxi, hahaha, I guess it will be miserable in the end!"

"If I were Jin Yanxi and I didn't choose her, the eldest lady would be really difficult to take care of..."

"..."

Chen Yu opened the film and television section of Tianya and saw many netizens' posts about "Golden Dust"; needless to say, this drama is really popular, and "Toward the Republic" has not been discussed as much as it.

However, there are still many posts attacking Liu Yifei.

I can only say that the current netizens are definitely not the same group of people as those in future generations.

He Shuhuan can be criticized for being autistic in future generations, and now he is very popular with female audiences; as well as the fifth prince and Er Kang in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", they also captured a large number of movie fans.

Let the future generations have their ancestors as scumbags.

"Did you curse so much in your previous life?"

"I don't think you've heard of it?"

Chen Yu thought for a while and finally decided to go back to the room and call Xiao Liu. Now his girlfriend urgently needed his comfort.

"Ok!"

As expected, classmate Xiao Liu was not in a good mood. His voice was not as sweet as before, and he seemed a little depressed.

"Is this character so annoying?"

Liu Yifei didn’t think so when she read the script!

"Auntie Rong, do you hate it when you watch it?"

Chen Yu smiled and said, Liu Yifei still didn't understand what Chen Yu meant, but she was still not happy: "I don't have the skills of Teacher Li!"

"Don't worry about it, look at me, I don't even have any posts to discuss it!"

"Too lazy to discuss!"

"Being scolded means that you can portray this character well and prove that you have acting skills. It will be miserable if no one discusses it. It is best if you are more popular than Dong Jie. Doesn't that mean you are more popular than Dong Jie?"

Black and red are also red!

Although such self-defeating is not popular yet.

Chen Yu also suddenly realized that he didn't know whether Bai Xiuzhu had been scolded by netizens in his previous life, but in this life, in just one episode, Liu Yifei's role was indeed good, and it was definitely much better than in her previous life.

After all, it has something to do with him playing with him every day.

"Maybe she can be even more popular than in her previous life!"

Liu Yifei, who had played "Golden Dust" in her previous life, was not very popular. At most, she only had a handful of good-looking fans, who were really inferior to second- and third-tier actors. It was Wang Yuyan from "Dragon" who completely made Liu Yifei a Domestic super first-line.

This is called a true conferring of gods.

In terms of popularity, maybe before "Dragon" was aired, Chi Shuai, the second male lead, was more popular than Liu Yifei!

Because the character Liu Chunjiang is quite out of the ordinary.

It's a pity that Chi Shuai never took on such a role again, so he has always been in the third or fourth tier.

"Just comfort me!"

Having said that, Liu Yifei did feel better inside.

It is indeed what Chen Yu said, it is better to be scolded than to have no one to discuss it; it is something that actors often encounter when their characters are scolded. This has nothing to do with the actor himself, but is a way to prove his acting skills.

"I am seeking truth from facts!"

"Besides, after you finish acting, you will have completely distanced yourself from this character, and there is no need to care about netizens' comments!"

"The more you care, it means you are still immersed in this character!"

"It's difficult to surpass!"

The easiest trap for actors to fall into is that they are unable to break through their roles, which leads to a state of self-doubt.

The reason why Chen Yu can break away from the character so quickly every time is that he knows very well that he is not the character. The moment the filming is completed, the character is actually dead.

It just changed its form and lived on the screen.

……

The two of them talked on the phone while the second episode of "Golden Dust" continued to be popular.

In fact, it was not that Chen Yu had not seen the posts about himself. He saw that many people recognized him. He was Liangliang in "Kara", the new Berlin Best Actor, and some people named him in "Toward a Republic". Asahiko Jiro.

No one said that his name is Chen Yu. This is the current situation of the character being popular but not popular.

In terms of popularity, Chen Yu is indeed not as good as a second-tier actor now, so "traffic" is still very important for an actor; popularity and acting skills are indispensable.

Otherwise, no matter how great your acting skills are, no one will know about you, and neither big directors nor big investors will look for you.

To put it bluntly, regardless of whether you are an actor or not, fame always comes first; actor is only based on fame and is a super bonus.

“So this year’s main goal is to become famous!”

Compared with the popularity of "Golden Pink Family", what Chen Yu cares more about is the premiere of "Conquest" on satellite TV in a few days.

That is his main project. Liu Chunjiang in "Golden Dust" is at best an appetizer for the audience.

After the 2 episodes were played, Liu Chunjiang still only made a slight appearance in Jinfu, but it was Chen Kun and Dong Jie. The online discussion was extremely intense. The two actors are obviously popular this time, and the average ratings have also reached 5.21 %!

Many netizens were already looking forward to tomorrow's hit broadcast, and suddenly a post popped up.

"Now there is a DVD of the complete set of "Golden Dust" available online. I wonder if it is true?" "It seems that it is also available offline!"

"Is it the complete collection?"

"Sure..."

"Then I'll go to the video store tomorrow to check it out!"

"I'll buy it online, brothers, wait for my feedback!"

Those who can access the Internet these days are definitely those who have a little money at home. It is absolutely no problem to watch a movie and buy a DVD.

Therefore, Chen Yu's navy can also take action at this time.

Of course, the person who posted this post was an employee of Chen Yu Company, in order to attract some traffic for online disc shopping.

The early Internet marketing was so direct. Unlike later generations of netizens who could tell whether it was a stooge or a troll, now it is just a personal post, and many people believe it; otherwise, why are there so many bad things happening offline now?

There are a lot of shemales, but there are very few fairy dances. The friendships are sincere, but they are all too outrageous.

"Director Ye, I wonder if we can still take pictures?"

Chen Yu sent a text message to Ye Daying, but the other party responded directly: "Shooting, what, are you free?"

"Well, I've been in the imperial capital recently!"

"Come to the Imperial City West Railway Station tomorrow and I'll give you a schedule!"

"Row!"

Chen Yu thought for a while, and he had nothing else to do for the time being, so he might as well go to the crew to have a look.

***

The next day, Chen Yu rushed to the set of Ye Daying's "Walking Through Happiness".

Zhou Jun and other actors have already joined the team, and what they are going to shoot now is the scene near the station in the drama.

Chen Yu actually saw an old acquaintance - Jiang Wen.

Why, supervise your future "wife"?

Chen Yu thought to himself, but after thinking about it, it was normal. The scale of the drama "Walking Through Happiness" is quite large to be honest. Chen Yan, the male lead played by Chen Yu, was the same as Zhu Xiaobei played by Zhou Yun from the beginning. couple.

The first scene in the script is a bed scene, where two people are having fun in bed.

Lao Jiang is probably worried about himself.

"Yo yo yo!"

Before Chen Yu said hello to Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen, who was squatting on the curb with a cigarette in his mouth, immediately stood up and greeted Chen Yu: "Is the Berlin Best Actor here?"

He was wearing a dark jacket and jeans, a very casual look. He had not shaved his beard and was a bit slovenly in private.

Originally he and Ye Daying were chatting there.

"Director Ye, senior!"

Chen Yu and Jiang Wen hugged each other heavily. The two had met many times. Although they didn't speak much, they were actually very familiar with each other.

"Lao Ye said he found a good actor for my Zhou Yun, so I knew it was you!"

Jiang Wen laughed and said, "My family immediately declared sovereignty. Of course Chen Yu understood what he meant, so he could only modestly say: "No, no, no, learn more from Senior Sister Zhou Jun!"

"Junior, you are the one who has won the Best Actor Award after all, why don't you point it out!"

Jiang Wen patted Chen Yu on the shoulder. He admired the actors who had won awards at the three major film festivals. This was related to his deep-rooted pride.

He is rather disgusted with the style of many domestic directors, especially Lao Mouzi.

So he offended a lot of people, and before he was banned, he was quite arrogant and didn't take anyone to heart. Now that he has been beaten by the film bureau for five years, he seems to have tempered his temper a little, but he still looks crazy.

"Senior is not here?"

Chen Yu looked around, and Jiang Wen waved his hand: "No, I went to the bathroom!"

"How much did you sell "The Blind Shaft" for?"

Jiang Wen suddenly approached Chen Yu, and Ye Daying also squatted over. The three of them sat on the side of the road, looking like old paoers.

"Twenty million, maybe..."

Chen Yu was not surprised that Jiang Wen knew that he had invested in "The Blind Shaft". There were still very few secrets in this circle, especially since many people who had returned from Berlin had watched the film "The Blind Shaft".

"What a great opportunity to make a lot of money!"

Jiang Wen's eyes bulged out, and Ye Daying was also amazed: "Twenty million US dollars, this is as much as all the films I have made in my life combined!"

"Luck luck!"

“If you don’t get the prize, you probably don’t even know the people who will lose!”

Chen Yu said slightly, and Jiang Wen still raised his thumb: "You young people are still awesome. You have to dare to vote for this. I wouldn't dare to vote for that kind of film!"

"Okay, why don't you invest? Do you have the money to invest?"

Ye Daying said something very hurtful.

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Wen smiled a little: "Don't tell me about Mahler Gobi. My new movie is really difficult to deliver. I asked around and no one was there, and I can't find anyone to beg for help. It's really difficult to make a movie these days!"

"It's nonsense, isn't it!"

Ye Daying glanced at him with a grin: "Who dares to invest in your movie now?"

"Has your time come yet?"

It’s the “five-year ban order” issued by the Film Bureau not to allow Director Jiang Wen to film!

"It's almost here, so aren't you getting ready?"

"I've finished the script, but I can't get any money, so I want to ask your brother Ye for help——"

"Fuck you, I didn't. I even lost money by selling my kidney. How can I have any money!"

"Help me look for it. Why don't you ask me, brother?"

Jiang Wen is absolutely miserable right now.

He has no problem filming, there are so many scripts, and he can get the male leads of various big crews at will; but it is difficult to get investment.

The previous movie "The Devil Is Coming" had a very polarizing reputation, but investors were collectively scolding it for losing money.

The key point is that Jiang Wen was talking nonsense before. When people asked him "What to do if the budget exceeds the budget," he replied: "What the hell is a budget?"

It’s quite embarrassing to directly embarrass a group of investors.

The investors of "The Devils Are Coming" are Huayi, Huayi and Zhongbo.

These three companies are definitely people who can cause a stir in the country. The boss of Huayi later opened Huanxi Media and was a partner of Xu Guangtou and Ning Hao; Zhongbo was the driving force behind Zhang Yimou.

These three ambitious companies invested 200 million US dollars in him. In the end, the budget exceeded double, and the film was still not completed.

And now five years have passed, and it still can’t be released to the public. Although it was sold to many countries, it still made a loss in the end.

The banning order from the major film bureaus was too strong.

Who dares to touch the edge?

So five years later, Lao Jiang was ready to make a comeback. The people and horses were all settled, and the food and grass had not been moved.

"Brother, are you interested in playing a big game with me?"

Seeing that Ye Daying was unsure, Jiang Wen suddenly put his arms around Chen Yu's shoulders and showed him a bright smile.

This smile is so familiar to Chen Yu!
