Full-time actor

Chapter 506 [71] "You still remember that I am your teacher?"

Facts have proved that the period from 05 to 07 was a desert for domestic films.

Chen Yu spent several hours browsing his mailbox last night, but he couldn't find a movie to invest in. He was even afraid that the names of many scripts would be different from many well-known movies in his previous life, so he opened them and took a look at them.

But in the end, nothing was gained.

"It seems that I really have to guide it myself..."

Chen Yu got off the plane feeling a little depressed. He deliberately didn't go with Liu Yifei because the airport was full of paparazzi. Although he was not afraid, he was annoyed by being surrounded and questioned, so he simply turned on the camera and stayed in the lounge, waiting for a while before leaving.

Drop drop!
Countless messages were sent and there were many missed calls.

The two-day pre-sale box office of "Initial D" has come out, 212 million!
The pre-sale box office on the first day was 170 million. Chen Yu didn’t know how this result sounded. After all, not many movies could start pre-sales these days. But it at least proved that this movie would definitely not fail.

Bona's marketing and scheduling are both good. There is only one movie, "Initial D", that will premiere on the 24th, and the screening volume is as high as 85%. Basically all theaters across the country have scheduled this movie, and there is a two-week vacuum period.

It won’t be until July 7th that Hollywood’s blockbuster “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” will be released!
The film was released in North America on the 10th of this month. So far, the North American box office has reached 1.2 million US dollars, with 5034 million US dollars earned in the first week; the global box office has reached 2.83 million US dollars, and is showing a trend of breaking through 5 million US dollars.

It's absolutely menacing.

Because many regions, such as France and China, have not yet been launched.

These box office revenues account for the lion's share, and the film's reputation is also quite good. This movie is currently the most hotly discussed film in the world.

Liu Yifei wanted to see it when she was in Paris before, but she didn’t expect that the French version would not be available until the end of July, so she can only wait for the mainland version next month.

"Hong Kong's two-day pre-sale box office is 2 million. I didn't expect it to be better than the mainland!"

"Treasure Island and Japan have also started pre-sales today... The feedback from Japan is that the theaters in Tokyo are packed!"

"..."

Looking at the message sent by Liu Weiqiang, Chen Yu smiled a little.

The popularity in Japan is something that everyone could have predicted. "Initial D" is their national treasure-level anime, and Chen Yu's popularity is also accumulated through one film after another, both in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Maybe in these regions, Chen Yu's die-hard fans are more fanatical than those in mainland China; just like Jackie Chan is just average in mainland China, but Southeast Asian fans are so excited to see him that they can't control themselves.

Because in China, people know too much about Jackie Chan, and there is still a lot of negative information about him; unlike in foreign countries, the information about Jackie Chan is basically very positive.

In South Korea, Chen Yu is actually quite popular.

His current popularity in Asia and among young people in Japan and South Korea even surpasses that of Cheng Long and Jet Li!
Zhou Jielun, there’s absolutely no way to beat that.

In terms of global box office, "Initial D" is definitely much higher than its previous life, except in mainland China. Chen Yu just wants to compare it with his previous life.

Therefore, since this movie chose him as the lead actor, its final commercial value will definitely be much higher than Jay Chou's.

After chatting with Liu Weiqiang for a while, Chen Yu put on a hat and mask and walked out of the airport.

Because it was a private trip, there were basically no fans around, but the paparazzi knew that Chen Yu would definitely come back to attend the Asian premiere of "Initial D", so they had been waiting there for several days in advance.

As soon as they saw Qiu Junjun's familiar figure, many reporters rushed towards Chen Yu.

This life assistant is even more recognizable than Chen Yu; after all, she doesn't wear a mask or sunglasses...

"Chen Yu, you and Liu Yifei were on the same flight. Did you go to visit the crew?"

"Have you two confirmed your relationship?"

"Are you dating?"

"..."

Countless reporters were asking questions, and Chen Yu really wanted to just say he had no comment, but he was actually a little fed up with these paparazzi, so he stopped for once.

"First of all, Yifei is filming a movie that I invested in, and I'm going to Paris to check out the crew's filming progress!"

"Then, we are just classmates at the moment. If there is any further news, I will definitely let you know!"

"Thank you!"

This was the first time that Chen Yu directly answered the questions of the reporters.

The reporters were obviously very disappointed with this answer, but as Chen Yu said, the fact that he and Liu Yifei were on the same flight actually didn't mean anything at all; many reporters knew that "Escape Plan" was indeed invested by Chen Yu's company.

"Give way!"

"If there is any news, I will inform everyone!"

Chen Yu had already seen Cheng Peng and several bodyguards coming over. His own agency was no pushover and protected Chen Yu until he finally got into the car.

"Hu~~"

Chen Yu took off his coat, sat in the back row and let out a long sigh.

Didn't he also want to tell the whole world that he was in love with Liu Yifei?

"Wait a little longer, there are still three months left..."

Chen Yu muttered as the car drove all the way to Yinhu Villa; Liu Yifei's house next door had been renovated for more than half a year, and Liu Xiaoli discussed the date of moving with Chen Yu, which was Liu Yifei's birthday.

We just took advantage of her 18th birthday ceremony to do it together.

After taking a look at the identical detached house next door, Chen Yu opened the door of his own house.

My parents have been living here for some time. Their courtyard house has not been renovated yet, but they are not at home at the moment.

The main reason was that Chen Yu came back and spent a few days with them some time ago.

Chen Yu casually looked around the furnishings in the house. There was a nanny busying around there, and she greeted him politely.

After putting down the various luxury goods that Liu Yifei bought for his parents in Paris, as well as the gifts for the two of them, Chen Yu went straight to the second floor.

Qiu Junjun and Cao Yan helped pack the luggage.

Adjusting to the jet lag is a very tiring thing. Next, Chen Yu has to attend the Asian premiere of "Initial D" and also has to go on roadshows in several popular ticket-shopping areas, such as Shanghai and Shenzhen. The next 10 days will not be easy.

At the beginning of next month, he will officially set foot in Hollywood to shoot "Mission Impossible 3".

As for "Departures", it has also been submitted for this year's Venice International Film Festival, and the shortlist will be announced at the end of next month.

Yawning and resisting sleepiness, Chen Yu did moderate exercise.

In the evening, when mother Shen Xiaoqin came home from get off work, she saw her son, who looked a little tired, walking downstairs. There was a sofa covered with luxury packaging. Chen Yu deliberately did not let the nanny and Qiu Junjun put it away, just to show off his mother the intentions of the future daughter-in-law.

In the past two years, Shen Xiaoqin is no longer an ordinary teacher in the small town, and her horizons have also been broadened as her son has become famous.

He is familiar with many brands.

"Your daughter-in-law bought it for you, try it!"

After Chen Yu greeted his mother, he spoke listlessly.

Although Shen Xiaoqin looked very happy, she was still concerned about her son: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well on the plane?"

"Well, I have to go to bed early today. If I sleep in the afternoon, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night..."

"Xixi, really, bought so much, from head to toe, and also bought so many bags." Although Shen Xiaoqin said this, the expression on her face could be seen by everyone; the nanny Aunt Chen was also acting as a supporting role. This nanny from the same family has been with them for more than a year, and Chen Yu is also very familiar with her.

Looking at the prepared food on the table, Chen Yu didn't hesitate and went straight to the table to eat.

Shen Xiaoqin knew that he should go to bed after eating, so she went back to her room and tried on clothes. Everyone has vanity, even a teacher's wife, but Shen Xiaoqin was of course happy that it was bought by her daughter-in-law.

As for Chen Yu's father, he was still busy in the company and only occasionally came home on time on weekdays. Unknowingly, Chen Yu had trained his father Chen Peidong into a first-generation rich man, and he enjoyed the status of a second-generation rich man.

Currently, Erdong.com is developing rapidly, and its three websites are breaking new records every month.

Especially Fanqie.com, the number of people online every day has stabilized at around 200 million, making it the undisputed number one video website in China; Chen Peidong took advantage of the situation and signed exclusive online broadcasting rights contracts with many film and television companies.

Many films by Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Huayi have already been acquired; this is of course Chen Yu's opinion.

While many people still don’t quite understand the value of Internet copyright, we should get it as soon as possible and officially start cooperation with the Six Princesses of CCTV.

Online business is developing in full swing, and Xingkong.com and Erdong.com remain as stable as ever.

buzzing-

Just when Chen Yu finished his meal and went upstairs, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Looking at the caller ID displayed above, Chen Yu’s dizzy head suddenly became clear.

Teacher Chang!

Having not been back to the Central Academy of Drama for more than half a year, Chen Yu almost forgot that he was a junior student. Although juniors at the Central Academy of Drama can go out to film, but... they still have to take exams.

"Teacher Chang!"

Chen Yu was ready to accept Chang Li's criticism.

"You still know that I am your teacher?"

"Look at you and Liu Yifei. You haven't been to school for a semester. Are you planning to graduate?"

"..."

Chang Li answered the phone and indeed spoke powerfully, so Chen Yu had no choice but to endure it. If there was anyone in the world who could scold him without refutation, the old lady on the other end of the phone was definitely one of them.

"Are you in the imperial capital? If not, come back with me immediately!"

Chang Li's words sounded very stern, and Chen Yu immediately said, "Yes, I just got back!"

"In the imperial capital? Then no matter what happens tomorrow, remember to come to school!"

"Take my junior year semester exams for me!"

"Did you hear that?"

Chang Li's voice rang out, and Chen Yu hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely come!"

"Take the test well!"

Chang Li on the other side probably knew that her tone was a bit harsh, so she laughed: "If you fail the course, you can take the make-up exam. If you don't pass the make-up exam, I'll settle the score with you!"

"No, I will definitely pass the exam!"

"That's pretty much it!"

Chang Li smiled, said a few words to Chen Yu, and then hung up the phone; the next second, the phone suddenly rang again.

Liu Yifei, the life-threatening ghost, has also come.

Chen Yu knew why she called without even answering the phone.

"Were you scolded by Teacher Chang?"

Chen Yu laughed, and Liu Yifei also covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "You act as if you weren't scolded. Were you accepting criticism just now? 2 minutes and 18 seconds? Tsk tsk, I only had 1 minute and 25 seconds. You are indeed her favorite disciple, and you are scolded more than me!"

"Ha ha!"

The two of them laughed foolishly in unison, as if they could imagine the scene of being scolded by the teacher.

"I just asked Tong Yao and the others on QQ. You should be the last one to be called by Teacher Chang. A lot of people have to go to school for exams in the next few days. Teacher Chang notified everyone one by one!"

"That's good, I thought it was just the two of us!"

Chen Yu now felt somewhat relieved.

As long as it's not typical.

"Of course not. Our class does a lot of filming outside. Is it because of your connections?"

"There are quite a few people who are filming TV series, and Tong Yao and the others have all won the leading female role!"

"..."

Chen Yu said he would not help, but maybe your classmates would send you text messages or call you, asking you to say hello to a director of a certain crew. Chen Yu would take care of anyone he knew within his ability, after all, it was a handy thing to do.

Moreover, many people in their class are actually quite capable and they would not let Chen Yu get the leading male role. This is impossible.

In this circle, many people know what Chen Yu can do and what he cannot do, unless they are very close to Chen Yu; but Chen Yu does not come to school very often, and most people in the class can only chat with him via text messages or QQ.

After a few interactions, we maintained a relationship, but we weren't that close. The most we knew about it was that we were in the same class at the Central Academy of Drama.

"Tong Yao and the others said they want to get together with you tomorrow, do you want to go?"

Liu Yifei suddenly asked.

“Why didn’t they call me?”

I knew Liu Yifei was soft-hearted.

To put it bluntly, the nature of this kind of gathering is just to get together and move around. What is the purpose of this gathering? Not only Chen Yu, but also Liu Yifei knows it.

"I'll listen to you. If you say go, we'll go!"

"Then go ahead. We are classmates after all..."

Liu Yifei is thin-skinned and unlike her previous life who had much experience, she doesn't interact with many people in the circle at all. Now, she must still be longing for friends.

She has a good relationship with several female classmates, and they haven't seen each other for a long time. Of course she wants to meet them, especially Tang Yan and the others.

"Okay, I don't care!"

"You ask them to choose a place, and we'll go there after the exam!"

Anyway, there are still a few days before "Initial D" is released, and Chen Yu happens to be free during these few days.

"Okay, thank you!"

Liu Yifei knew that Chen Yu was willing to go just for her sake. Thinking of this, she felt very happy. Sometimes, Chen Yu really respected her wishes!
Neither her father nor Jiang Wen may be able to do this.
