Full-time actor

Chapter 270 [97] Brother Yu, I didn’t expect you to be such a person?

"Russian film "Return" was highly anticipated and won the Venice Film Golden Lion Award in one fell swoop! 》

"Sean Penn won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival for the second time, aiming for the Oscar to achieve the Golden Slam of Best Actor! 》

"Best Director in Venice - Takeshi Kitano <Zatoichi>!" 》

"Cai Ming-liang's "Unbreakable" won the FIPRESCI Award at the Venice Film Festival! 》

"Another Emperor!" Chen Yu won the Venice Countercurrent Unit Best Actor Award for "Warm"! 》

……

"This kid is awesome!"

"Did you win two Best Actors this year?"

Zhang Jizhong turned on his computer and read Sina's front-page news when he heard that Chen Yu had won another Venice Best Actor.

Zhang Jizhong is feeling a little numb. He originally wanted to premiere it in June, but it has been postponed until now and it is still not done yet.

Anyway, it scored higher than some of Zhang Jizhong's later period costume films.

“I didn’t win any of the domestic ones, but all the international ones!”

It was the conflict between Zhou Xiaowen and Zhang Jizhong. Zhang Dabeard didn’t want to use the things he shot.

Last month, the imperial capital became even more popular with Chen Yu's drama.

This year, he has almost completed a triple jump in his career and fame; from an unknown candidate in the Chinese Theater and Beijing Film and Television Arts, he has transformed into the "scheming man" and "star man" of Zhang Yimou and Zhou Xingchi, and has won awards in both Berlin and Venice. proclaim oneself emperor.

When I called Zhang Jizhong, he didn't answer the call. If Zhou Xiaowen hadn't been for money, he would have blocked this kind of person long ago.

His fame is completely different from that of just joining the cast of "Dragon".

Reshooting, editing, watching movies...

Zhang Jizhong grinned. The more famous Chen Yu is, the better it is for him.

In fact, many people in the entire team want to say this. In fact, everyone knows that the problem lies with Zhang Beard himself. He has collaborated with so many directors. Currently, only two of them are in litigation, Huang Jianzhong, Zhou Xiaowen, and Wang Rui is considered one of the three most capable directors of Zhang's martial arts dramas.

The current editing is the same. The reason why it is so slow is because director Gu Jueliang joined the team temporarily in the later stage. He has never seen the play directed by Zhou Xiaowen. Now he has to watch it frame by frame. The workload is of course huge.

It is said that the popularity is also high in Hong Kong. "Conquer" has just finished airing there, and Liu Huaqiang has become the "idol" of many teenagers in Hong Kong, comparable to young and Dangerous boys such as Chen Haonan and Pheasant in the 90s.

The reason? It’s not that the previous photos were not good.

Although that person was wrong, the Venice Best Actor is also a Best Actor, and his official title is - Venice's New Best Actor/Actress!

The main focus is on a young person.

Moreover, Zhang Dabeard also asked Hu Jun to reshoot a few scenes. If Chen Yu hadn't been too busy, he and Liu Yifei would also have to reshoot.

He should be the fastest-rising star in China this year; Zhang Jizhong cast Chen Yu as Duan Yu, the second male lead, last year. To be honest, it was for Pu Lin's sake. Chen Yu was really a high-profile player because at that time he Not famous at all.

"No, I estimate it will take another month!"

But they have only cooperated once, and both are still in litigation.

Wang Rui is the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are okay, not a big hit, but the reputation is not bad.

Zhang Jizhong was actually very anxious. He picked up his cell phone and called the editing director Mei Fang.

A "Conquest", plus "The Golden Age", has promoted it to the ranks of domestic first-line movie stars.

Whoever shot it and whoever edited it together with the editor must have done it quickly.

Not to mention Zhang Jizhong, even ordinary fans know that Chen Yu is becoming more and more popular in China.

He almost collapsed due to this.

Currently, some of the filming remuneration has not yet been received.

It has been nearly half a year since the filming of "Dragon Movie" was completed, and all the post-production processes are almost complete, but editing has always been difficult.

"..."

"It would be a pity not to take advantage of this popularity to premiere it!"

Therefore, Chen Yu's ability to win this award has nothing to do with his age, not his acting skills; after all, Scarlett Johansson is the same year as him, and they are both 19 years old.

Zhang Jizhong said a little angrily. The editor over there didn't speak at all. Gu Jueliang took the phone and was a little embarrassed: "Director Zhang, how about you ask Director Xiaowen to come back, so... we can edit faster!"

Zhou Xiaowen, the same is true. He was deducted 40% and the account has not been received. How can you let him endure it?

But now, it is "Tian Long Ba Bu" that has surpassed Chen Yu.

"It's a reshoot, but it hasn't been edited yet, okay?"

He is a movie star in Hong Kong, so he is not too afraid of growing a big beard.

Of course he knew about the conflict between Zhang Jizhong and Zhou Xiaowen, but he still had the courage to speak out.

"One more month?"

He really didn't want to get involved in this mess.

"Can you speed it up!"

As for the editor, he must also listen to the director.

Because the director had in his mind the concept of what he was shooting at that time.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jizhong was silent.

In his previous life, he actually "reconciled" with Zhou Xiaowen in the end, because the editing of the first version was simply terrible. There was really no other way, so Zhang Jizhong paid 40% of Zhou Xiaowen's salary. Zhou Xiaowen cooperated with the editing for the sake of money. , plus publicity.

Da da da!

Zhang Jizhong tapped his fingers on the table. In fact, he was very conflicted inside.

All the investment in "Dragon" was actually used in two film and television city projects, the Tianlong Eight Film and Television Base in Dali and the one in Yongkang. Together, the two are said to have invested close to 2 million, including Zhang Jizhong. of private property, financing and local government support.

Now, he really has no money to support Zhou Xiaowen.

However, he also deliberately defaulted.

Who made this guy disrespect him during filming? This is called beating by Zhang Jizhong.

But now, "Dragon" is encountering difficulties in the later stages. He can only grit his teeth and call the other party back. There is no other way.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jizhong could only call Pu Lin to see if he could borrow some privately and ask him to pay Zhou Xiaowen's salary first.

If "Dragon" doesn't premiere as soon as possible, he will really drink the northwest wind.

In the face of the premiere and dignity, Zhang Jizhong finally gave up on the latter. The main reason is that Chen Yu is currently very popular. If he doesn't take the opportunity to make money by broadcasting, how long will he wait?

After pressing Pu Lin's cell phone number, Zhang Jizhong dialed.

***

At the same time, the Imperial Capital International Airport.

Chen Yu was on the phone with Zhang Yimou.

"Thank you, Director Zhang!"

"Actually, it's just a small award, but it's still far from the Venice Best Actor!"

"Okay Director Zhang, I will be there on time!"

"goodbye!"

As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Yu turned on his mobile phone and received countless text messages and missed calls.

Many people are blessing and congratulating him for winning the Venice Best Actor. In fact, he is not the Venice Best Actor, but the domestic media publicity is simply overwhelming. A counter-current Best Actor has already been praised as a real Best Actor.

Chen Yu suspected that his company had purchased the press release, and there was text message evidence.

Of course, it's similar in the United States. Scarlett's reputation as a back-to-back movie queen has been featured not only on the Internet, but also in newspapers and periodicals.

Moreover, this is the only widowed sister in later generations who has won such a trophy for a best actress worthy of her acting skills.

Can't you give it a good blow?

She has no chance of winning Oscars, Golden Globes, etc. After all, her acting skills were better when she was young, and the older she gets, the more she evolves into the same mold; but this still does not hinder her high popularity and worldwide fame.

This is what Chen Yu said to Liu Yifei before.

No matter how good your acting skills are, you should first improve your reputation. When you reach a certain level and take on a movie with a better character, won't this award come?

Zhang Yimou's phone call just now was certainly not to congratulate Chen Yu. Although he already knew about it and was polite to Chen Yu on the phone, the most important thing was to inform him to join the group for filming. "House of Flying Daggers" will start filming in Kiev, Ukraine, on September 9, a few days later.

This day should have been chosen by Lao Mouzi. To be honest, Chen Yu cried to death.

911, good day.

Moreover, Chen Yu never expected to travel to such a far place; in fact, Lao Mouzi also regretted it, but even after the contract was signed, he had to run there to take the photo with tears in his eyes!

Isn’t this the place you chose to avoid the epidemic?

I didn’t expect that SARS would end so soon. I was so embarrassed that no one knew Jiang Zhiqiang.

"And Director Ye's...Jiang Wen..."

"..."

Chen Yu quickly scrolled through the missed calls and had to dial them one by one.

Ye Daying's phone number is, of course, "Walking Through Happiness"!

This drama filmed by Chen Yu during the epidemic will be premiered on the second channel of Imperial TV. The time is set for September 9. Ye Daying specially called him and asked him to get together when he was free.

Unfortunately, Chen Yu was destined to be out of time, so he had no choice but to apologize to Ye Daying.

Upon hearing that Zhang Yimou's movie was going to be made, Ye Daying certainly knew that it was much more important than his crappy TV series.

"Director Ye, I will punish myself with three cups of wine when I come back!"

"Okay, I accept your wishes; if this drama becomes popular, then forget it; if it doesn't, I will invest in the next drama!"

"Row!"

Chen Yu chatted with him and hung up the phone.

Ji Qiannan had been waiting next to Chen Yu for a long time. Chen Yu gave her her luggage and the two of them walked towards the parking lot.

Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli had already greeted Chen Yu and left early.

"Brother Jiang, what's going on?"

Chen Yu sat in the car, and Jiang Wen's phone call went through.

"You kid, you got another one?"

"Luck luck!"

"It's okay to lie to fans, but if you lie to you, Brother Jiang, how can I bear it?"

"Hahaha, I'm afraid I'll irritate you!"

"You're such a little rebel actor, you still irritate me?"

"Then did you take it?"

Chen Yu's words were simply explosive.

Jiang Wen was nominated several times for three major film festivals, but never won a single award; only Xia Yu surpassed him as the Venice Best Actor.

"Just wait and see how my next film will sweep the three major film festivals!"

Jiang Wen grunted on the other end of the phone. Chen Yu's words really hurt him a little.

"That's why you called me?"

"Of course not. The script is ready. Can we read it together when you have time?"

"Has the investment been sufficient?"

Chen Yu only paid 1000 million.

“There’s no problem with memes!”

It can be seen that Jiang Wen is in a good mood now and is talking in Cantonese.

He had been begging for more than a month, and Taihe boss Zhang Yongli finally agreed to invest the remaining 1 million for him.

Jiang Wen's alms-making ability is absolutely amazing, and his budget is only 2000 million.

Well, temporarily.

Chen Yu knew very well that this product ended up costing a total of 6000 million.

It's just a money shredder, and the budget can't even keep up with what he's crazy about building.

In order to stage his own show, he used hundreds of birds and animals, consumed dozens of boxes of ammunition, burned hundreds of tents, used more than 300 cubic meters of Tibetan-style houses, and dozens of tons of cobblestones, Red clay.

That's it, I can still control my budget.

You control a der.

"Then why don't you choose a different day? Can I treat you tonight?"

Chen Yu said casually, and Jiang Wen didn't hesitate for a second: "Hahaha, this is what I've been waiting for. Call your pretty little girlfriend, let's call her Feifei..."

"Is my senior sister not with you?"

"Look at what you said. You are praising your sister. Don't worry, brother is not like that!"

"Well, you like older people!"

"Get out of here, what the hell is your senior?"

"Being a wife is different from wanting to have sex!"

Chen Yu said in a rare way: "Young woman, young woman, soaring in the clouds and mist!"

"..."

It took Jiang Wen a long time to come back to his senses. The other end of the phone was full of laughter from this guy: "Haha, awesome, brother, you still know how to play!"

"Okay, let's find a place and I'll come over!"

After Chen Yu hung up the phone, he turned around and saw Ji Qiannan driving, looking at him in shock.

There was a deep disbelief in his eyes.

This...is this still her own artist that Ji Qiannan knows?

Why did things change like this after traveling abroad? !

"Sister Qian, make a joke to Jiang Wen!"

Chen Yu forgot that his manager was also a young woman.

"Brother Yu, I didn't expect you to be such a person?"

"You know how to act when the occasion arises, sister?"

Chen Yu smiled, and Ji Qiannan was thoughtful. She always felt that Chen Yu had a lot more experience than she imagined.

Young woman, have you ever played with this kid?

Otherwise, how could you understand it so well?

She wouldn't think that Chen Yu was joking.

Some truths are told in jest.

"..."

Chen Yu knew that his image was ruined in the mind of his agent.

But this is actually fine. He doesn't want Ji Qiannan to think that he is a perfect person; people all have shortcomings. If you are too perfect, others will find you inaccessible.

It's good like this, so she doesn't have to feel like she's just a child all the time.

"Oh, yes, there's also a phone call!"

"I almost forgot about this!"

Chen Yu looked at the phone and saw that there was another missed call. It was from her senior sister in the drama, Ulantana.

Not surprisingly, her film "Warm Spring" should be released soon!

In the following days, Chen Yu was really busy.
