Full-time actor

Chapter 616 [43] "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has finally started airing, and the popularity is unprecedented!

After the entire box was silent for a few seconds, Jiang Wen couldn't help but swear.

"Grass!"

More than 6 million, that is, close to 50 billion RMB!

Jiang Wen's eyes were already red, it was naked redness.

envy, jealousy, hate.

"No, Master Yu, you have to invest in my next movie, otherwise my heart won't be able to bear it!"

More than 6 million yuan! Even in RMB, the box office revenue of all Jiang Wen’s movies in his life combined is not that much!

"Okay!"

Chen Yu responded casually.

I’m just worried that if “The Sun” doesn’t flop, this old guy’s next movie won’t be “Let the Bullets Fly”.

After all, in his previous life, Jiang Wen made "Let the Bullets Fly" because "The Sun" was a box office flop and suffered heavy losses.

After learning from his mistakes, he felt sorry for the investors and his own reputation as Jiang Wen, so he decided to make a good commercial film.

This is how "Let the Bullets Fly" came into being!
He even wrote love letters to Ge You and Zhou Runfa and invited these two actors who currently have great box office appeal in China.

But now, Chen Yu's participation has added a lot of uncertainties to "The Sun".

Maybe... the box office won't flop?

As for whether "Let the Bullets Fly" will exist or not, it is not certain.

Chen Yu himself couldn't guess what Jiang Wen was thinking.

Moreover, this guy has talked to him more than once about the investment in the next play, and Chen Yu has never refused.

But this time, after hearing Chen Yu's answer, Jiang Wen's expression seemed surprisingly serious.

"Really?"

He grabbed Chen Yu's arm and said, "You have to make a written statement and record it!"

He was afraid that Chen Yu was joking.

You are worthy of being called Lao Jiang.

How could someone do something so shameless?
But Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "Really? Come on, sign a document!"

Chen Yu was still afraid that Jiang Wen would not be enthroned!

If it really was "Let the Bullets Fly", Chen Yu would have no pressure at all.

This movie, with both good reputation and box office success, not only broke many records in China, but was also regarded as the number one movie on Bilibili as the "site-building masterpiece".

“It’s different after all!”

Jiang Wen smiled, but asked someone to bring him a piece of paper. He grinned and said, "I never tell lies. I hope you, Brother Yu, don't tell lies either!"

"Okay!"

Chen Yu seems to be even tougher than Jiang Wen.

But I still asked one more question: "You haven't even finished filming your new movie yet, but you're already thinking about the next one?"

"Prevent trouble in the future!"

Jiang Wen laughed and said, "But I have some ideas about this. I read a book recently and it's pretty good!"

"what is it call……"

"Ten Night Tales!"

Chen Yu smiled inwardly, Jiang Wen had already said it.

That's it!

"Let the Bullets Fly" is adapted from "The Story of Stealing an Official", one of the stories in "Ten Night Tales"!
"Just this one?"

Chen Yu kept confirming it.

"This one!"

Jiang Wen obviously didn't think too much about it, but he did have some thoughts in this regard.

[The next movie is adapted from "Ten Night Tales", and I will cover all the investment! ]

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Chen Yu wrote quickly on the note, and Jiang Wen was a little dumbfounded.

no……

"Brother, it doesn't have to be this one!"

Jiang Wen said with a bit of a smile.

“Others are fine too!”

Although Chen Yu said so, if he wrote it this way, this guy would definitely think twice about it.

"You really are my brother!"

I've seen generous people, but I've never seen anyone as generous as this!
Could it be that I...have such great personal charm?
"All... all investment?"

"As long as it doesn't exceed 1 million, I will invest!"

"..."

This time, Jiang Wen was really shocked by Chen Yu's generosity.

1 million?

investment?

Is it so easy to get it?
"I recorded it. If you can't give me 100 million, I will fight you to the death!"

At this point, Jiang Wen was still a little bit unbelieving, and said, "Don't you need to...consider it again?"

"Like maybe wait until "The Sun Also Rises" is released?"

Jiang Wen adjusted the frame of his glasses and looked at Chen Yu. Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "No need. When I invest in a movie, I look at the people first and the script second!"

Jiang Wen was so moved that he almost bowed down.

Bu has been wandering for half his life, and only regrets that he has not met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, Bu is willing to become your adoptive father.

Chen Yu thought Jiang Wen's attitude was similar to Lu Bu's.

“No wonder he can earn 3.5 million!”

"Brother, you are making so much money now, I am really not jealous at all!"

"real!"

Jiang Wen is a flatterer. Although Chen Yu was unmoved, he still felt very happy: "Okay, keep the note and come to me to redeem it when the time comes!"

"Got it!"

Chen Yu couldn't help laughing at Jiang Wen's expression.

Watching Jiang Wen put the receipt into his wallet, Chen Yu couldn't help but shook his head.

"Well, Brother Yu... Brother Yu, did you really make 3.5 million last year?"

Kong Wei, who had had a sex scene with Chen Yu, suddenly came in front of Chen Yu and couldn't help asking.

Many people present were actually very curious. After all, gossip is human nature, and they all pricked up their ears immediately.

"How is that possible? Don't listen to their nonsense!"

Chen Yu waved his hand, quickly changed the subject, and asked the waiter to serve the food quickly.

Kong Wei tilted his head and exclaimed: "Brother, do you think we are stupid? I also graduated from college, and the credibility of the Forbes list is still good!"

"I even feel like 3.5 million is a little too little!"

"how you said that?"

Chen Yu gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Because I think you are very capable?"

"Haha, I'm not blackmailing you!"

"Look how scared you are!"

Kong Wei smiled unrestrainedly: "But you are too amazing. You made 3.5 million in a year. My God, there are only stars like you in Hollywood, right?"

"Many Hollywood stars don't necessarily earn as much as you do!"

Many first-line actors in China basically cannot reach the tens of millions level. Just relying on film pay and advertising endorsements, they would be thankful if they can make at most 10 million.

The reason is simple.

Share!

Actors have to share profits with the company, unlike Chen Yu, whose CAA commission is only 10%.

As for the international star Zhang Ziyi, her film pay and advertising endorsement fees cannot be compared with Chen Yu.

For a world-class third-tier movie star like this, 3500 million is already ranked third. You can imagine the range of annual incomes of other actors.

Chen Yu's 3.5 million is definitely an exaggerated figure. It has caused an earthquake in China's film and television circles and will even affect the business circle.

"Forget it, let me keep a low profile!"

"Let's not talk about this topic..."

Chen Yu waved his hands, and Jiang Wen, who was standing beside him, was also watching the fun: "Brother Yu, teach me how to make 3.5 million a year!"

This is the answer everyone wants to know.

In the past few days of filming, everyone present had already become close friends with Chen Yu and knew what kind of person he was. But now, because of this incident, they had a new recognition of Chen Yu.

Originally, he was a bit relying on his seniority and considering himself as a senior or an old man, but now he has lost that aura. Instead, Chen Yu seems to be the biggest star and the biggest boss in the entire "The Sun Also Rises" crew.

The meal lasted until 7 o'clock. Chen Yu hurriedly checked the time and said, "Let's go. I have to check the ratings of the new drama!"

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Wen was a little surprised and thought he was hallucinating: "Ratings? TV series?"

"Well, Zhang Da Huzi's The Condor Heroes premieres today!"

"No way?"

Everyone present laughed a little.

"Brother Yu, you are already a Hollywood movie star, with so many international film awards, why do you still care about the ratings of TV series? It has nothing to do with you..."

"That's right, I can't get any money!"

"You don't need a TV series to enhance your fame, do you?"

"We still have a second activity after we finish eating!"

Many people here obviously share this attitude.

They don't take TV dramas seriously at all.

This is of course also the current situation in the film industry, a very clear chain of contempt. Those who make movies look down on those who make TV dramas, not to mention Jiang Wen's crew, which is the ceiling level of the Chinese film industry.

TV dramas are for ordinary people to watch, while movies are art.

Basically, Jiang Wen also holds the same view.

"You can't say that!"

Chen Yu stood up and packed up. At his level, he could refuse to participate in activities such as accompanying drinking.

This is Chen Yu’s confidence at the moment.

"Every work is the result of the actors' hard work, so I will definitely pay attention to it!"

"Everyone, enjoy your meals, and the second activity will be charged to my account!"

"Let's go, Old Ginger!"

"Everyone!"

Chen Yu waved to everyone, and everyone had no choice but to shake their heads and stand up to say goodbye to Chen Yu.

Seeing Chen Yu walk out of the box, many people lost interest in eating. Photographer Zhao Fei said to Jiang Wen, "Old Jiang, then... the next place?"

"Let's go!"

Jiang Wen waved his hand, and everyone stood up.

Some people looked unhappy, but due to Chen Yu's status, they couldn't get angry.

This is human nature. No matter how big a star you are, people will feel uncomfortable when they see you.

Because Chen Yu didn't let them have fun, they felt that he didn't take them seriously, let alone the team that Jiang Wen hired.

"Lao Jiang, all of us who are older than us are calling each other 'Brother'!"

"Look, they don't even give you face!"

A deputy cameraman couldn't help but speak.

Jiang Wen frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, today is really the premiere of Chen Yu's TV series!"

"TV drama?"

"Hahaha, this thing is bullshit!"

"He finished filming today and will leave tomorrow. Doesn't that mean he doesn't take us seriously?"

"But that's normal. He's at a certain level now. He earns a year--"

"You're fucking drunk!"

Jiang Wen directly pulled an assistant and pointed at this guy: "Help him..."

Jiang Wen knew Chen Yu's character well. Even if he went to KTV to sing, he was not very keen on it.

After all, he's just a workaholic.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today. It’s because sometimes people are too rigid.

But such people are real.

Unlike many friends who seem to have a good relationship with you, they may just be drinking buddies.

Besides, to put it bluntly, Chen Yu really doesn't need to get to know the other people in the crew. What's the point of leaving a way out for them to meet again in the future? You are not the irreplaceable one, so why should Chen Yu please you? !
If Jiang Wen were asked to choose, he would definitely choose Chen Yu instead of anyone else.

After all, if Chen Yu really knows how to invest, who do you think you are?
The photography circle will stop moving without you?
"Brother, you are still living a real life!"

Jiang Wen adjusted the frame of the camera, and then walked towards the next location with the crew.

At this time, Chen Yu certainly didn't know that someone was unhappy after he left. Even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

It is true that drinking can cause trouble in one's work, but it is also common for people to lose their jobs due to talking nonsense after drinking.

Chen Yu also drank a little today, but not much. However, there was obviously no need for him to accompany them again.

Because some people may never meet again after today.

What's more, Chen Yu really had something to do. Chen Yu thought that the ratings of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" were more important than the unnecessary second show.

He is not a RMB that can be liked by everyone.

It’s not that Chen Yu doesn’t know how to behave, but in this circle, when your ability reaches a certain level, even those who hate you will become very fawning to you.

After all, no one has trouble with money.

Unless you are unwilling to pay like Jet Li and Stephen Chow, that’s another matter.

……

Chen Yu returned to the hotel and directly connected to Liu Yifei's video.

"Drinking?"

Looking at Chen Yu, whose face looked a little rosy in the video, Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I drank a little, and Lao Jiang insisted that I finish the film and get together with them!"

"What about your practice later?"

"It's okay, just practice some face-opening and martial arts, no physical training!"

"..."

The two were chatting there, and Liu Yifei suddenly said: "I just went to Tieba and the forum to take a look. Wow, a lot of people are waiting for the premiere tonight. I think most people will watch it through Tomato Live!"

"These ratings are a bit inaccurate, aren't they?"

Currently, the audience who flock to the TV station from Tomato Live are not counted in the ratings, but Tomato Live can count the number of people online.

It can even issue its own ratings. Currently, many advertisers and TV stations recognize the data of Tomato Live.

It means how many people are online at Tomato Live in real time and how many viewers are watching this TV station.

Generally, a rate of more than 20% is considered a big explosion.

For example, if there are 2000 million people online and 400 million people are watching the show, then it must be a hit.

But today, Chen Yu just sent a message to Lao Yao, the person in charge of Fanqie Live, and the other party said strangely: "The number of people online today is a bit outrageous!"

Many people opened Tomato Live for the premiere of Chen Yu's "The Return of the Condor Heroes"!

After all, advertisements for the premiere of The Return of the Condor Heroes were also placed on the Tomato Live homepage. Of course, this was not requested by Chen Yu, but by China Audiovisual.

The current premiere in Zhejiang Province is just a test of the waters.

But the better the data, the higher the selling price will be.

During this process, Fanqie Live not only earned advertising fees from China Audiovisual, but also could place other advertisements.

However, Tomato Live has to pay money for the broadcast in Zhejiang Province.

This industrial chain is already quite mature.

It is a settlement between terminals. The better the ratings, the higher the fees charged by the TV station.

In fact, all TV stations should thank Tomato Live for generating revenue through the Internet, which allows them to raise the prices of their TV series and advertisements. Everything is a win-win cooperation.

Therefore, Tomato Live not only makes money for itself, but also helps various TV stations make money. This is the reason why this software can get better and better.

It used to be irregular and considered illegal connection, but now everything is formalized.

"2512 million people are online in real time. This is too scary. Brother Yu, your popularity is truly unrivaled..."

"Yesterday's peak number of online users was only 2045 million. This is nearly 500 million more!"

500 million netizens all came for the premiere of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

This is the first time that a TV series has been so popular since Tomato Live was launched.

There is no need to guess, these users should all be fans of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

And, of course, it doesn’t mean that only 500 million people watched “The Return of the Condor Heroes” online.

In fact, many of the viewers who used to frequently use this software were fans of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei. After all, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" also made a lot of contribution to the first increase in users of this software.

"I wonder how many people will be online when the show premieres today..."

Old Yao was chatting with Chen Yu, and the time finally came to 8 o'clock.

The 06 version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" starring Chen Yu and Liu Yifei is officially on air!
