Full-time actor

Chapter 239 [66] More happiness than happiness, taking the first step into the international world!

The starring cast of "Zhang Yimou's new film "House of Flying Daggers" has been revealed! 》

"New Berlin Best Actor Chen Yu joins Zhang Yimou's new film! 》

……

Looking at the headlines popping up on the computer screen, Zhou Xingchi frowned slightly.

He had just completed the audition in Magic City, and there were currently three candidates for the female lead, and he was still considering it; but he did not expect that his assistant told him such breaking news.

pat!

Zhou Xingchi sat there, holding his chin, and clicked on the headline in front of him.

"It is reported that in Zhang Yimou's new film "House of Flying Daggers", the newly-minted Berlin Best Actor Chen Yu, a popular domestic actor, has confirmed to join the cast and will play the role of the second male lead, Chen Captou!"

"His partners are none other than Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi!"

"And the eldest sister in Hong Kong, Mei Yanfang!"

"..."

After a long introduction, there is a photo of Chen Yu and Zhang Yimou standing together.

These days, before a movie is released, it is the most normal operation to buy the draft. What's more, this is the new film of Zhang Yimou, the number one director in the country, so it has received special attention from the media.

This doesn't cost money. If anyone under Zhang Yimou says it, countless media will rush to report it.

"How famous has it been in one month?"

Zhou Xingchi was really surprised.

These days, Chen Yu's fame has suddenly skyrocketed. It's not like he didn't know it; but he never thought that he could actually win the role in Zhang Yimou's new film.

Moreover, he is partnered with Liu Dehua, Mei Yanfang and Zhang Ziyi. Basically, people in this circle will know at a glance at the lineup that Chen Yu's worth is rising.

"I guess if he is asked to play the role of Guo Kun, people may not agree to it, right?"

Zhou Xingchi thought deeply, but still picked up the phone.

Chen Yu's current fame made him suddenly want Chen Yu to participate in "Kung Fu".

In fact, this movie actually has a role that suits him.

But in the beginning, Stephen Chow left it to his own artist Chen Guokun, but now, Stephen Chow has to change his mind. Maybe with Chen Yu, the box office in the mainland will be better.

Currently, in the cast list of "Kung Fu", except for the female lead, who wants to cast a mainland actor, the others are all from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

After considering his words, Zhou Xingchi sent a message to Chen Yu.

If the other party can understand Cantonese, he should also be able to understand it.

……

drop!

Chen Yu, who was filming a commercial for Master Kong's instant noodles, suddenly lit up the phone he had placed next to him.

Ji Qiannan hurriedly handed the phone to her artist.

Shooting an advertisement is no different than shooting a movie. Chen Yu only needs to pose and say a few slogans, so he can view it anytime and anywhere on his mobile phone.

"Is there a minor character you're interested in?"

Zhou Xingchi?

Chen Yu looked at the person who sent the text message and blinked.

Damn it, this character has exploded!

You just signed "House of Flying Daggers" with Zhang Yimou, and "Kung Fu" is here too?

Of course Chen Yu is interested.

After all, it’s still Star Wars’ movie.

There is no role, big or small, let alone Stephen Chow; other directors are vying to play the male lead and the second lead actor, and the leftovers from Sing Chi's movies can become popular. This is definitely not a joke.

This is the magic of Stephen Chow's movies. He can discover the best points of each actor and give him a lot of temporary scenes.

It's just like character design.

Other directors are just strangers, and some female leads are no different from vases. Especially in many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, the heroines often act as decorations.

But Zhou Xingchi, even a cockroach can come here, let alone a human being?

"The roles don't matter, big or small, they all have to be in Star Lord's films. I'm interested in them all!"

Chen Yu replied, and Zhou Xingchi smiled a little when he received the text message.

"OK, that's it (then it's settled)!"

"..."

Chen Yu chatted with Zhou Xingchi and basically confirmed the matter of starring.

"Brother Yu, are you okay?"

Ji Qiannan looked at Chen Yu who was sending a text message and couldn't help but remind him because the photographer was waiting there.

"Sister Qian, please help me go back!"

"Can you speak Cantonese?"

"Won't……"

Ji Qiannan really doesn't know how. She can speak a few sentences and can understand her, but she can't communicate with words at all.

"Then wait for me a moment!"

"I want to confirm something..."

Chen Yu said hello to the photographer and makeup artist, and then confirmed the signing with Zhou Xingchi, and of course, the script.

At present, SARS is serious, and everything can only be done by computers.

Of course Zhou Xingchi can understand, so we basically communicate through text messages and phone calls, and the script is also sent through email.

"All right!"

"Sister Qian, you are going to have a hard time these days!"

"What's wrong?"

Ji Qiannan's excitement these days has not passed yet!

The second male lead in "House of Flying Daggers" is a role that many people covet!

My brother Yu got it.

In fact, only Chen Yu knew that his role was the male lead, but he was afraid that Liu Dehua had inner thoughts, so he said he was the second male lead. Anyway, the two men had similar roles, but their personal plots were far different.

The role of Capt. Chen is much more enjoyable than Capt. Liu.

"Go to Magic City and sign a salary contract for me!"

"What's the matter?"

Ji Qiannan was a little stunned: "Magic City? Have you received another drama?"

The front foot of "Ambush from Flying Daggers" has just been confirmed!

Do you have another film appointment? The key point is that her company has a pile of scripts, waiting for Chen Yu to go back and pick them!

"No, the company still has dozens of scripts. Don't you want to take a look?"

Of course, after Chen Yu became popular during this period, many film and television companies sent him invitations.

"Tomorrow, I'll go back and see tomorrow!"

"But this is more important right now, the role in Xingye's new movie!"

"..."

Ji Qiannan opened her mouth, but closed it the next second: "I can leave right away!"

"Then don't be in such a hurry. Just take Xiao Li and the others to sign it in the next few days, and help me get the script back by the way!"

Xiao Li is their company's legal affairs officer.

"No, you...boss, how did you do it?"

Grass!

Ji Qiannan almost wanted to curse!

I won’t talk about the role of Lao Mouzi. Although Pu Lin has the credit, he promised that after Lao Mouzi’s “House of Flying Daggers” was released, the China Television Station he founded in the United States would be responsible for helping to insert advertisements; at the same time, his advertising company also It will be promoted free of charge on several prime-time broadcasts of CCTV.

However, the prerequisite is still Chen Yu’s own.

Now, this guy actually got the role of Star Master again!

Is this something an actor can do?

It seems that her agent is a waste!

"It's also a coincidence!"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you when I get back later. Hurry up and book your tickets!"

As Chen Yu spoke, he walked directly into the camera and began to continue filming the commercial.

Ji Qiannan looked at Chen Yu who was engaged in filming and couldn't help but shook his head. He is really an incredible artist right now!

If this continues, there won't be enough for him to fight in the country.

This is the time to go international!

It's Zhang Yimou, and it's Zhou Xingchi. As an insider, she knows these two movies very well; they are both blockbusters released worldwide.

"House of Flying Daggers" is even said to be competing for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Not to mention the nomination, a trip to the Oscars is worth it!

How many media outlets around the world broadcast this event live?

Coupled with his aura as the Berlin Best Actor, he is destined to receive a lot of attention.

"This is about to be released!"

"No, no matter what happens, I have to report it to Lao Qin!"

Pu Lin also has business in the United States.

As mentioned just now, the resource exchange between him and Lao Mouzi was a radio station in the United States - China Television.

This was co-founded by Pu Lin in 1999 in Los Angeles, USA, with the famous international investment banker Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn. Its English name is Pacvia TV. It is one of the most famous Chinese-language satellite TV channels overseas.

TV series, movies and variety entertainment programs are broadcast 24 hours a day via satellite. Its influence spreads throughout North America and parts of South America. The ratings are extremely impressive. It is called the HBO of Chinese people in North America.

Countless Asian movies and TV series are output through this station.

In particular, many CCTV programs will be broadcast on this channel. In the future, "Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will definitely be on it.

In addition, Pu Lin also has three advertising companies - Tianyi Evergreen, China Blue Chip and Kupu Media!

These three companies are respectively the exclusive agents for the advertising business of CC8’s all-day guide, one, two, and three premium packages, and two, three, and four hot columns.

The reason why Chen Yu was able to obtain the endorsement contract so quickly is of course inseparable from the business of these three advertising companies.

Many domestic brands have cooperative relationships with them.

Like L'Oreal, Tsingtao Beer, Tsinghua Tongfang, EBO Watch, Gree Electric... Pu Lin can find people for any advertisement that can be shown on CCTV.

It's just that these big brands now have spokespersons, and they can't change them all at once.

Otherwise, Chen Yu would have directly replaced him.

After filming the Master Kong instant noodles commercial, Chen Yu wore a mask and Ji Qiannan drove him back.

He has finished shooting all the commercials he has signed these days.

In the car, Chen Yu briefly talked about the role that won "Kung Fu", and Ji Qiannan had to sigh that Chen Yu was really lucky.

I actually met the first sister from Xiangjiang.

"Then you have to thank me properly!"

If Ji Qiannan hadn't known Mei Yanfang, she would have gone to reminisce with her a long time ago. She would not miss this opportunity to meet a big boss in Hong Kong.

"With the situation in Xiangjiang, I can't go there either!"

"I told her on the phone that he is currently receiving conservative treatment!"

"Hey, how could you have this disease!"

Of course Ji Qiannan also knew about the situation of Mei Yanfang and Zhang Guorong. Chen Yu called a few days ago, and Mei Yanfang also told Zhang Guorong about Zhang Guorong's current situation. The two are now fellow patients, cheering and encouraging each other.

On the contrary, Chen Yu felt that this was good, otherwise it would be the worst situation like in the previous life.

The two people kept it secret from each other, and in the end no one knew.

"Sister Qian, nothing will happen next, right?"

Chen Yu asked Ji Qiannan.

"Not yet!"

"Many crews have been suspended..."

Ji Qiannan was also a little helpless.

"Then I'll take a good rest. I've been busy for a year!"

"By the way, let's take a look at the scripts the company has received during this period. Are there any suitable ones for me..."

It happened that the epidemic in the imperial capital had broken out, and Chen Yu didn't want to run around outside. It was too dangerous.

The May Day "Golden Week" holiday has been suspended, let alone individuals.

If Chen Yu doesn't stay at home, he will probably win the bid sooner or later. This thing is much more serious than the new coronavirus in his previous life.

All of China seems to have pressed the pause button.

Chen Yu happened to take advantage of this period to take a good vacation. At the same time, he could quietly think about the company's next development.
