Chapter 404 [87] How to become a star in "Fairy Sword"?

Whoosh whoosh—

The three cars were speeding along the mountain road of Qiu Mingshan, refusing to give way to each other.

Of course, Chen Yu was driving his AE86, while Keiichi Tsuchiya was driving a Mazda RX-7. He was replaced by Edison Chen, also known as Ryosuke Takahashi.

Another Mitsubishi EVO3 was driven by Kumakubo Nobushige.

Two professional championship drivers and one semi-professional driver; Chen Yu was certainly no match for the two.

But for the filming needs, Keiichi Tsuchiya and the two will definitely let go; but the racing scenes are still extremely exciting to watch.

Countless cameras were aimed at the three cars, and a camera was set up at each intersection in order to accurately capture the excitement of chasing each other.

The one-shot shooting of drag racing is definitely the first of its kind in a racing movie.

In the end, of course, it was the same as the ending of "Initial D". Chen Yu drove the AE86 and crossed the finish line first, his face always calm.

I have to say that Fujiwara Takumi is also a real boss in the entire drama.

Drifting with one hand, releasing water from the center control, etc., is full of pretentiousness.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Applause from Liu Weiqiang, Mai Zhaohui and others came from the side of the track.

Everyone was sweating over this racing scene. In fact, Chen Yu encountered several dangers during the past two days of filming. He had some scratches on his hands and feet, and the car almost overturned and hit the guardrail; this In the racing scenes, there are more or less mistakes.

However, Chen Yu's tenacity in filming still moved the entire crew.

This reminded Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui of Cheng Long when he was young, who was also so desperate and fearless of death; these days, young people filming like this are basically extinct.

It is this hard work that makes Hollywood admire Cheng Long.

"Brother Yu, congratulations on finishing the shoot!"

“5 days earlier than originally planned!”

"Congratulations!"

Everyone in the crew hugged Chen Yu.

In fact, if there were not a few one-shot scenes after this, Chen Yu would have finished filming many days earlier. This is still the filming progress after he kept improving.

The crew of "Initial D" gave Chen Yu a one-month schedule, and it's only September 9th!
"Thank you!"

Chen Yu actually had bandages on his elbows, arms and inner thighs; he was just wearing clothes, so you couldn't tell from his appearance.

At this time, Keiichi Tsuchiya and Nobushige Kumakubo also got out of the car and walked over.

In just over ten days of contact, they undoubtedly formed a deep friendship with Chen Yu; the two of them almost watched Chen Yu advance from an amateur master to a professional racing level.

This not only requires talent, but also the result of hard work and diligence.

You are not afraid that others are more talented than you, but you are afraid that while you are talented, you will work harder than you; you are talking about people like Chen Yu.

The key is that this kid is hardworking enough. This is what Keiichi Tsuchiya appreciates about Chen Yu.

What can such a person not succeed in doing?

"I'll treat you to a treat at noon and wrap up the banquet!"

Chen Yu shouted to the entire crew that the filming of the entire movie "Initial D" has been officially completed here.

"Oh oh oh!"

Countless people were cheering and cheering there, not sure if it was because it was finished or because they could have a big meal.

A group of people gathered around Chen Yu to remove his makeup.

After taking off their makeup, they rushed towards a restaurant in Gunma.

After a lively closing banquet, Chen Yu said goodbye to someone from the crew. Even though Chen Yu had experienced this kind of scene many times, he still felt a little depressed every time.

If friends who have been together day and night for a month suddenly separate, people will inevitably have some feelings.

Then after eating, this emotion becomes more prominent.

"Let's go, Brother Yu!"

"It's not like we have no chance to meet!"

Liu Weiqiang seems very free and easy. Maybe he is at that age and has been photographed more than Chen Yu, so he is used to it.

Xiangjiang will reshoot some less critical scenes in the future, maybe Chen Yu will have to get over it.

In the end, Chen Yu hugged everyone one by one and boarded the main line to Tokyo.

Before returning home, he had to do one very important thing.

I have to go to Masahiro Motoki to discuss the filming of "The Embalmer".

Chen Yu has been in Japan these days and has talked to him a lot. Masahiro Motomu did not expect that Chen Yu would give him full responsibility. He thought that if the other party was an investor, the director and crew would look for people he knew well in China.

Chen Yu actually recommended a director to him-Takita Yojiro.

This director is quite famous in Japan and has been nominated for the Film Academy Award, known as the "Japanese Oscar", for Best Director three times.

It's a bit like being nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director three times!
So this time is actually the first meeting between Chen Yu, Takita Yojiro and Motoki Masahiro.

……

"Chen Yujun!"

The somewhat obese Masahiro Motoki met Chen Yu, the most popular mainland Chinese actor in Japan, at the exit of the Tokyo Shinkansen.

The two hugged passionately.

Chen Yu's current popularity is very high in Japan, second only to Jet Li and Cheng Long.

As for Chen Yu's current status in Asia, Motomu Masahiro is of course very clear about it; originally he wanted to compete with the other party for the role of the male lead, but now he is very willing to take on the role of the second male lead.

Because as expected, this movie "Diary of a Coffin Bearer" will be the most famous movie he has ever starred in.

With Chen Yu, he doesn't need to worry about the film's popularity at all, so Masahiro Motoki seems to be very concerned about this film.

"Director Takita Yojiro will be here soon!"

Masahiro Motomu led Chen Yu the way, and the two of them chatted and laughed all the way to a coffee shop he had ordered.

The Japanese in 04 liked to talk about things here.

Chen Yu followed the local customs when he came to his hometown, so he followed Masahiro Motoki's arrangements.

After a while, Takita Yojiro, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, opened the door of the cafe.

This Japanese director who started his career with "pink movies" won the Best Film at the 27th Japan Film Academy Awards last year for his self-directed samurai film "The Legend of Mibu"; it can be said that he has completed his life magnificently. Counterattack and turnaround.

The so-called pink movie is a complimentary title. In fact, it is larger than Hong Kong's third-level movies and is the predecessor of Japanese AV.

Therefore, not everyone can make the leap from a movie like this to the best director.

You must know that Takita Yojiro's education is only a high school student; this seems a bit incompatible with Japanese directors who are generally college graduates.

Moreover, directors who have had such experience seem to be much more down-to-earth compared to those academics.

Chen Yu was just about to wave to him, but he didn't expect that Takita Yojiro had already seen the two of them and waved towards Chen Yu and Motomu Masahiro.

"I have long admired the name of His Excellency Chen Yu!"

Yojiro Takita bowed extremely politely, and Chen Yu quickly shook hands with him; this famous director in his previous life directed "The Embalmer" and became globally famous after winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Although he has won the best picture, his influence in Japan is still not great.

Because he is not an academic in the eyes of Japanese people, this is the most criticized thing.

"I heard from Motoki-kun that Director Takita has a schedule recently?"

Chen Yu specifically asked Motoki Masahiro to investigate. Takita Yojiro did not make a movie this year. He has been preparing a stage play and wanted to move it to the big screen.

"Yes, in fact, Ben Mu-sang has already told me what Chen Yujun wants from me!" "I've also read the script, and I'm very interested in it myself!"

Takita Yojiro said modestly, Chen Yu handed him a cup of coffee and smiled: "That's really great!"

"I am quite busy myself, so I am going to entrust Motoki-san with full authority to take charge of some early-stage shooting matters. I also want to entrust Mr. Koyama Kundou to complete the adaptation of the script of "The Diary of a Coffin Bearer"!"

Kaoru Koyama is the screenwriter of "The Embalmer".

Takita Yojiro on the side was actually a little puzzled after hearing this: "Chen Yusang, please forgive me for asking you a question?"

"Please tell me!"

Chen Yu actually knew roughly what Takita Yojiro wanted to ask.

Sure enough, he said there: "You can actually ask the Chinese team. I don't know, why should you ask me and the Japanese screenwriters?"

This was something he didn't quite understand.

Masahiro Motoki, who was next to him, smiled a little: "Director Takita, regarding this question, I can answer the question for Chen Yujun!"

"I asked him the same question before!"

Motomu Masahiro glanced at Chen Yu, who smiled slightly and said nothing.

"It's like this. "Diary of a Coffin Bearer" was written by Mr. Aoki. According to Chen Yujun's wishes, we Japanese filmed it, which may be able to better capture the essence of the description in this book!"

"Of course, between Mr. Aoki and Hua Xia, it should be easier for Japanese directors and screenwriters to communicate with him!"

"I see!"

Takita Yojiro understood somewhat, and was full of admiration for Chen Yu.

From Masahiro Motomu's words, he could feel Chen Yu's respect for the original work and him.

"My requirements for filming this movie are simple, the subject matter is good, and I am willing to try to break through!"

"Director Takita is responsible for all the casting. I am not allowed to participate!"

"..."

Chen Yu spoke to Takita Yojiro very politely, and he chose to listen to what these guys liked anyway.

Soon, the filming of "The Embalmer" was initially determined.

After saying goodbye to the two people, Chen Yuzhang took a long breath. The film was finally implemented. It is estimated that the early preparation and shooting will take more than half a year.

Thinking of this, he rushed towards Tokyo International Airport.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Yu appeared at Changsha Huanghua International Airport on time.

Of course he came to attend the awards ceremony on Mango Channel that night.

When he got off the plane, Chen Yu saw the person in charge of Mango Channel who came to pick him up. Chen Yu was one of the artists who came early because he was transferring to Japan.

He turned on his phone, and this time Ji Qiannan also flew over.

Of course she wanted to come and make some connections in the program hosted by Mango Channel. This was an excellent opportunity.

"Brother Yu, reply as soon as you receive the text message!"

Looking at the countless messages that popped up when he turned on his phone, Chen Yu saw a text message sent to him by Cai Yinong.

After thinking about it, Chen Yu returned to the hotel provided by the organizer and called her.

"Brother Yu, congratulations, the Golden Eagle Goddess!"

Cai Yinong's information is still very well-informed. Chen Yu is actually not interested in the title of male god at all. He is here just for the sake of Mango TV.

Because later generations of Mango Terrace are really awesome, there is no need to offend Chen Yu, and there are many benefits after making friends.

"What's wrong, Sister Cai?"

Chen Yu was obviously very polite as always.

"What else can happen if I call you?"

Cai Yinong sighed and could hear the tiredness in her words: "The review of "Sword and Fairy" has always failed; of course this is not a big problem. Director Li has been contacting the radio and television for revisions, mainly for subsequent broadcasts. You Help me ask the leaders in the station and see if there is any accommodation plan!"

"What, you still want to go to the Mango Stage?"

Chen Yu smiled a little and said, Cai Yinong really dares to think about this!

What kind of satellite TV is Mango Channel? Shangxing is currently number one. Does he dare to risk this?

"It's not a crime to think about it. Just ask, what if it's for your sake? Mango Channel has been in a relationship with radio and television for so many years, but it has always been honey and pot. It can compete with CCTV. This year's draft How popular has the show become?”

Cai Yinong was also in a hurry and sought medical treatment, but what she said was right.

It's better to give it a try than not to try it at all.

She, Cai Yinong, is basically in the Magic City and has been killed anyway; but Mango Terrace, that's not a sure thing.

"Super Girl" is a talent show launched by Mango Channel just this year, ranking first in ratings; next year it will sweep the entire Southeast Asia.

Brother Chun is so popular that people in the industry thought it was Mango Channel that helped boost her popularity, but in fact, it was traffic that dominated.

The popularity of this program among young people is extremely enthusiastic.

"Okay, let me ask for you, but I can't guarantee you whether it will work or not!"

Chen Yu said calmly, which made Cai Yinong cry a little: "Brother, what is the drama you invested in? Please give me some snacks, sister, please..."

But after thinking about Chen Yu’s current influence in Hollywood and around the world, maybe people really look down on this; but for Tang people, the current "Sword and Sword" is definitely a life-saving straw, although it will not hurt the muscles. His bones were broken, his company went bankrupt, but his cash flow was all tied to this drama.

It would definitely be good to take back a little bit.

Coupled with Chen Yu's current popularity, everyone knows that once "Sword and Fairy" is released, the ratings will be guaranteed to be number one in the country.

No one in the circle can deny this.

Chen Yu + Liu Yifei, this year’s Golden Eagle hero + goddess, are collaborating on their second on-screen couple costume drama. What fan is not looking forward to it?
Even Cai Yinong, who is very good at publicity and speaking, can think of not doing the same thing for ten days, let alone others.

It's a pity that the big tiger of radio and television is blocking her, so she has no way to do it.

"I know I invested in it, and I'm anxious too!"

Chen Yu pretended to laugh and cry and said that he, a reborn person, knew much more about "Sword of Immortality" than Cai Yinong.

"Well, anyway, let me ask my sister, where is your popularity? If you become a star, you will definitely make money!"

"Mango Terrace is not stupid either..."

Cai Yinong's only hope now, or the most fortunate thing, is that Chen Yu serves as the male lead of this drama; if it had been anyone else, she would have been desperate, needless to say, it would have been a loss.

But with Chen Yu, anything can really happen.

If there's anything more popular than "Super Girl" this year, it's the man on the other end of the phone.

He alone holds up half of the entertainment media, and many gossip magazines and programs point to him. Without news about him every day, many people feel a little uncomfortable.

It's just that Chen Yu is a low-key person, never responds to the media, and doesn't like participating in variety shows and interviews.

Except for a few CCTV programs, he basically doesn't appear on satellite TV.

Advertising, even less.

Otherwise, his exposure rate and media buzz would actually be even higher.

But it is this kind of attitude that makes online negativity much less negative. In fact, the more exposure an artist has, the more rebellious and disgusting the audience will feel.

Chen Yu understood this, so he basically only focused on filming and investing, and ignored everything else.

He actually learned this from Zhou Xingchi!
It's enough to do your main business well; in variety shows or something, you can at most show your face and promote it, and you can still maintain your sense of mystery.

After hanging up the phone with Cai Yinong, the calls from Ji Qiannan and Liu Yifei arrived at the same time.
