Full-time actor

Chapter 232 [59] Luck is coming, and you can’t stop it!

"Yes!"

Chen Yu answered very simply and confidently.

Riding a horse, isn’t it easy?

"When I was filming "Dragon", I filmed a lot of horse riding scenes!"

Chen Yu was afraid that Lao Mouzi would not believe it, so he added: Now this is an opportunity. Although the filming of "House of Flying Daggers" was terrible, it took a full 8000 million U.S. dollars at the overseas box office.

There was a lot of criticism at home, but the rating abroad could be as high as 8.9 points.

It won even more awards, it was much better than "Heroes", and it was also shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

This film also took in 1.5 million box office in China.

The total box office gross exceeded 100 million US dollars.

Besides, isn’t it true that the script was split and revised several times?

Chen Yu felt that if he could act and Mei Yanfang joined, the filming would probably not be so bad. At least the kung fu fighting aspect would be absolutely guaranteed.

Moreover, Mei Yanfang's role is definitely not as dramatic as Song Dandan's.

The final effect will be better.

In his previous life, "House of Flying Daggers", Kim Sung-wu's action scene was very bad. It is said that he fell again while riding a horse, which caused the subsequent scenes to be missed and had a stand-in. It would be strange if he could do it well.

"It's indeed quite suitable!"

"No wonder Sister Mei would recommend you!"

Zhang Yimou smiled at Chen Yu and looked at Jiang Zhiqiang. Jiang Zhiqiang was also a little disbelieving: "Amei, is he the recommended male lead?"

"Yes, I just called and asked. She said that Chen Yu's kung fu was very good. I didn't quite believe it at first, but I thought about it..."

Zhang Yimou didn't say any more. He actually wanted to say that Mei Yanfang had filmed many martial arts scenes, and even dated Zhao Wenzhuo. Naturally, she had to judge whether the martial arts was good or not.

"I have a role in my new play, do you want to try it?"

Zhang Yimou suddenly smiled at Chen Yu.

"That must be what you want!"

Although Chen Yu was thinking deeply in his heart, he still seemed unusually calm on the surface: "Is it "House of Flying Daggers"?"

Of course, the media has already announced Lao Mouzi's new film.

"Yes, you are quite concerned about industry news!"

“I just paid more attention to Director Zhang’s news!”

Chen Yu also smiled slightly and nodded: "I can try this role!"

"Okay, just wait for my notification. This role is actually occupied, but I have to confirm it with the other party's agency and myself!"

"it is good!"

Chen Yu knew that it was not that easy to get a role, but this at least showed that he had a role.

If that's the case, his company can't make a living there!

For more than a year, he had to rely entirely on himself, and the company only provided two resources.

It’s unjustifiable that I can’t do my best at this time!

"Director Zhang, Mr. Zhang, Jiang Sheng, I'm leaving first!"

Chen Yu said hello to everyone, and this time he really left. Unexpectedly, Lao Mouzi said directly: "Don't worry, leave a mobile phone number!"

"Xiao Pang, send Chen Yu off!"

After all, he is also the Berlin Best Actor, so Lao Mouzi still has to consider this important identity.

After leaving a mobile phone number for Lao Mouzi, Pang Liwei sent Chen Yu out of the conference room.

"Yimou, do you...really want to change?"

The role of Jin Chengwu was originally decided by Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Weiping remained silent for the rare moment.

Because it has nothing to do with him.

"A little hesitant!"

"When we chose Jin Chengwu, we were interested in his market in Taiwan and Japan, but he is really not very good at kung fu. I have talked with his agent before, and this is his first time filming a costume drama!"

"And most importantly, this show has a lot of horse riding scenes!"

"Then choose Yuzai?"

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't think there was anything wrong, but he felt it was a bit inconsistent with his ideas.

"In fact, as Sister Mei said, he is very suitable for the role of the number one catcher, but he does not have enough influence!"

"You are not famous enough to be the male lead. What do you want other actors to think?"

This is what Zhang Yimou is worried about.

You must know that the second male lead is Liu Dehua.

But this is actually easy to do. At worst, Andy Lau will be promoted as the first male lead and Chen Yu will be promoted as the second male lead. The main thing is fame.

Without any box office appeal, Kim Sung-wu still has a market in Japan.

In terms of box office, it will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

"talk later!"

"Anyway, there are still a few months until filming begins, so don't rush to sign with Jin Chengwu!"

"We'd better polish the script first and find the filming location!"

This is what Zhang Yimou needs to worry about now.

Where to film "House of Flying Daggers"?

Several people have been discussing for many days, but have not found a suitable place yet; Jiang Zhiqiang has already proposed to shoot abroad. The most important thing is that the risk is small, and they all have their own channels. The epidemic in Xiangjiang is so serious, what will happen in China next? It's certainly not much better.

"foreign!"

"My suggestion is to choose a foreign country, at least the shooting will be faster!"

"Okay, then I'll find someone!"

"..."

The three people were discussing there, while Chen Yu got into the car, exited Anli Road, and drove towards the company.

He first made a phone call to Li Yang and told him about the release of Anle. This kind of thing would definitely require him, the director, to personally contact Xiangjiang. However, with the current epidemic situation serious, Chen Yu's suggestion was that he should contact Xiangjiang in person. Slowly.

Moreover, he has been dealing with film review matters these days. He has to try to see if it can be released in China no matter what. Although the probability is almost 0, if Li Yang wants to give it a try, he can only let him.

In his previous life, he seemed to have gone there confidently, and then was banned from filming for 3 years, which was 2 years less than Jiang Wen.

In this life, Chen Yu didn't know if the result would still be the same, but since Li Yang worked so hard, he could only hope for a good result.

After all, there was no illegal filming, but it was submitted to the bureau for review, but it was never approved.

"How can Section Chief Jia be in peace all the time!"

Chen Yu was a little puzzled, but this was just a subconscious complaint on his part. After all, Chief Jia's films were of a very high standard. Maybe the leadership of the film bureau was particularly merciful?

He took his mobile phone and dialed Ji Qiannan. Currently, the male role in "House of Flying Daggers" is the top priority.

This is the key to improving your reputation and status.

"Ok!"

Ji Qiannan snorted, indicating that you can talk now.

"There is a role, and I need the company to help me get it!"

"Hey, you finally thought about the company!"

Ji Qiannan found several scripts for Chen Yu, but he rejected them all. Among them was a TV series produced by China Audiovisual, and this girl actually said she was not interested; it was also thanks to Ji Qiannan's doting on Chen Yu, plus Chen Yu's The qualifications are there, if it were any other artist, they would have been hidden by the company.

I’m giving you the opportunity to help the company and yourself make money, you’re so useless!

Now when she heard that Chen Yu wanted something from her and the company, how could Ji Qiannan not be excited.

Does your brother, Xiao Yu, sometimes ask for help?

Then she heard Chen Yu's voice: "The male lead in Zhang Yimou's new movie "House of Flying Daggers"——"

"goodbye!"

Ji Qiannan's call was hung up half a second slower than the speed of light.

"..."

Chen Yu had no choice but to continue dialing.

"Brother, can you tell me something reliable? Our company is not Zhongnan X, it's not that awesome!"

"You can't get any movie roles!"

Mr. Lao Mouzi, you really dare to ask for it.

Why don't you talk about the male lead in Spielberg's new movie?

"I haven't even finished what I said!"

"Okay, okay, you say, as long as it's not Lao Mouzi who is the number one male, forget it, Lao Mouzi is really bad, he and the boss won't deal with him at all!"

Currently, Zhang Yimou is very excluded in Beijing circles.

After all, he is from the northwest circle and has also been involved in the Beijing circle, but now that people are getting up, although they have not turned against each other, Zhang Yimou has always been more pro-Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

Especially for the male lead, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are his first choice. After all, he is now a major international director, so he must follow an international standard.

There are not many actors in China who are well-known internationally. On the contrary, there are many actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan who are out of the industry. Of course he likes to use them.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of profit and reputation.

"Even if you want Feng Xiaogang or Hua Yi, I can help you find a way!"

"But director Zhang Yimou..."

Ji Qiannan didn't need to think about it at all, it was completely out of the question.

"Is such that!"

Chen Yu didn't take Ji Qiannan's words to heart at all: "Zhang Yimou auditioned for me today, and the role is the male lead in "House of Flying Daggers"!"

"?"

Ji Qiannan thought she heard wrongly: "You...what did you say?"

"I said I auditioned for the male lead role in Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers"!"

"You...how did you do that?"

Ji Qiannan originally had her cell phone tucked under her neck, but now she picked it up and stood up from her office chair: "You...did you come to the door yourself?"

"No, am I that brainless?"

No actor would be so stupid to come to someone's door and try hard, except for some actresses.

"I couldn't explain a word or two clearly. He just suddenly asked me if I knew kung fu, and then he started auditioning!"

"He should have a good impression of me, so let's see if you can get Mr. Pu to come forward and find someone to try out!"

Chen Yu knew Pu Lin's connections and should be able to talk to Zhang Yimou.

As for whether it can succeed, it can only depend on the results.

"..."

Ji Qiannan was really silent after hearing Chen Yu's words.

Lao Mouzi took the initiative to audition Chen Yu. Could it be that... he really wanted to find his brother Yu to play the male lead?

She couldn't bear the overwhelming wealth.

Everyone knows that a movie starring Lao Mouzi will definitely become a hit!

And it is not only popular in China, but also famous abroad.

Zhang Ziyi has not won any awards and is about to reach Hollywood; let alone Gong Li.

It is estimated that if she knew that Chen Yu had auditioned for Zhou Xingchi's film, she would have been shocked on the spot.

At present, Chen Yu, the number one director in Hong Kong and the Mainland, has tried it; now there is a lack of Li Yu from Baodao or Yang Dechang, Cai Mingliang, Hou Hsiao-hsien and so on.

Unifying the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places is just around the corner.

"I'll go talk to Mr. Qin right away and see what Mr. Pu says!"

Ji Qiannan said a few words and hung up the phone.

Of course, she, as an agent, must seize this opportunity.

Chen Yu didn't know if it would be possible, but if his company didn't help at this time, he could really perform a caesarean section.

The time has come to verify the strength of the company.

When we drove to home, Ji Qiannan's phone rang.

"Mr. Pu already knows. He said that he would ask Zhang Yimou to have dinner together sometime!"

"I'll let you know when the time comes!"

"Row!"

This is the company’s responsibility!

Otherwise, he has earned them millions in advertising fees during this period. Why? !

This is the result of Chen Yu not opening up the contract and letting Ji Qiannan take it easy and wait a few months before signing again; if he had let it go, he would have made more than 1000 million yuan.

This is of course because, after two months of signing, his value will be higher and he will earn more.

The popularity of "Conquest" and "Golden Dust" will definitely increase his advertising fees from one million to several million; he may even reach the level of a domestic first-line movie star!

"There's big news over there in Xiangjiang!"

As soon as Chen Yugang and Ji Qiannan hung up the phone, they received a message from Liu Yifei on their mobile phones.

"What's the big news?"

Chen Yu was startled by this sudden message.

Zhang Guorong really jumped?

Damn it, I obviously didn’t see the news yesterday, could it be possible that I just delayed his life for a day?

Chen Yu quickly opened his laptop while replying to the message.
