Full-time actor

Chapter 627 [53] Global Insurance Company Refuses to Provide Insurance...

"The youngest Hong Kong Film Award winner in history is born!"

"Chen Yu! The first Hong Kong Film Award winner!"

"Record-breaking! Chen Yu won five awards at the Academy Awards in a single year, including Best Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Action Design, Best Asian Film, and Best Film!"

"Hong Kong Film Awards Actor Awards Grand Slam! Chen Yu won the Best New Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Actor awards in three years!"

"Departures" has surpassed 5000 million Hong Kong box office, ranking among the top ten Chinese-language films in Hong Kong!"

"4 million! "Departures" breaks the record of the fastest box office of 4 million in Chinese film history!"

……

Early the next morning, both in Hong Kong and on the mainland, the media were flooded with news about the Academy Awards and the box office of "Departures."

Even the list of winners of the Hong Kong Film Awards was ranked very far back, and the front page was all about Chen Yu's news.

There's nothing we can do about it. First, his fame is there. Second, he really went crazy competing for the Academy Awards this time.

With 5 major awards, plus the youngest, Grand Slam and other honors, how could the media not publicize it well?

In fact, yesterday's Hong Kong Film Awards was broadcast live in China, with CCTV-6 broadcasting the entire event. This is also a signal of further in-depth cooperation between Hong Kong and the mainland.

Therefore, many domestic audiences and Chen Yu’s fans actually watched the entire award ceremony.

Chen Yu, who had been keeping a low profile for almost half a month, has been making headlines every day in recent days. In addition to the Academy Awards, the popularity of "Departures" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" have once again raised his popularity to a new height.

When Chen Yu woke up, he received the news push immediately.

Yesterday, he celebrated with Jackie Chan, Huang Jianxin and other stars who were attending the Hong Kong Film Awards with a midnight snack until midnight. He is still feeling a little dizzy now.

pat!

Chen Yu sat down in front of the computer desk and turned on the computer. It had almost become a muscle memory.

He sent a video invitation to Liu Yifei, and then went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

After a while, when he finished washing his face, he saw his girlfriend holding her cheeks with her hands, looking eagerly at him.

"Did you attend the rehearsal for the graduation play?"

Chen Yu asked casually. Liu Yifei had no acting appointments these days, so she obviously had to go to school.

"Well, I've lined up a few shows, and I'm waiting for you!"

"Everyone was discussing the Academy Awards yesterday. It seemed like everyone had predicted that you would win!"

Liu Yifei smiled, but Chen Yu pressed the service bell: "It's all guesswork, but the probability of winning the prize is indeed a bit higher!"

"Hehe, of the three major Chinese-language awards, the only one missing is the Golden Horse Award!"

"Why don't you go to the Golden Horse Awards?"

Liu Yifei suddenly realized that he had never understood why Chen Yu seemed to have some prejudice against the Golden Horse Awards?
Chen Yu attends the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards every year, but he has never been to the Golden Horse Awards.

If we talk about the most prestigious Chinese award at present, it must be the Golden Horse Awards.

"I will go. Didn't we have conflicts with Golden Rooster the last few times?"

Of course Chen Yu would not tell Liu Yifei the reason. In fact, he had no opinion on the Golden Horse Awards, he just didn't want to go.

Some of the things he did in his previous life still had some influence on Chen Yu.

In addition, he has been nominated for Best Actor three times, but has been a runner-up every time. So far at the Golden Horse Awards, Chen Yu has only won the Best New Actor award and the Best Supporting Actor award.

Nominated for Best Actor three times, but lost three times.

You have won all the international Grand Slam Best Actor awards, including Best Actor in Japan, Hong Kong, Mainland China, etc., but the Golden Horse Award may not be given to you.

Maybe the funniest thing is that he won the Oscar but not the Golden Horse Award.

Therefore, Chen Yu’s current idea is very simple. It doesn’t matter whether they give it to him or not. He doesn’t need this award at the moment.

If you don't award it, you must have something to hide. If you award it, netizens may think you are fair.

How to do it depends on Jinma University. Anyway, Chen Yu is too lazy to make a trip.

Liang Chaowei won the Best Actor Award two years ago even though he didn't participate. Of course, Chen Yu also wanted to try this kind of treatment.

"You're almost the winner of the Chinese film actor grand slam, and I just need a new actor. I guess your fans don't know how to curse me behind my back!"

Although Liu Yifei is not afraid of gossip and now follows Chen Yu's example of not reading online comments, she can actually tell if she thinks about it that a bunch of Chen Yu's fans are scolding her every day for not being worthy of Chen Yu.

It's true that they are not worthy of each other, and Liu Yifei knows it herself.

At yesterday's award ceremony, Chen Yu once again made her feel a strong sense of crisis about her career and future. If she were not already an artist of Chen Yu's company, she would be worried about whether Chen Yu would want her.

"Don't think too much. Aren't there many people who come from behind in this circle?"

"Gold will always shine!"

"In fact, we are luckier than many of our peers. At least we are still popular. Some of the most powerful ones are still in their 40s!"

Chen Yu talked about it based on his feelings.

In this circle, many actors are born at the wrong time, and luck is often greater than their ability.

"Awards are something that you will always get two of if you get one. The first one is always the hardest to get. Once you get it, the second and third ones won't be far behind!"

If Chen Yu had not won so many international awards before, he might not have won the best award at this year's Academy Awards.

In my previous life, I had never heard of a mainland actor winning the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Is it because of your bad acting skills?
That's certainly not the reason.

The main reason is that there are no actors from the mainland whose acting skills can impress Hong Kong people.

dong dong dong-

Chen Yu was chatting with Liu Yifei when they heard a knock on the door. It must be breakfast being delivered.

He took a flight to Japan in the afternoon, and then flew directly to Hollywood to shoot "Invisible Bourne" and audition for the role of the Joker.

During this period, he also had some other announcements.

Liu Yifei will also travel from China to accompany Chen Yu for a while, and then she will join the crew of "Better Days". She will shoot first due to her schedule. Chen Yu will definitely be busier than him because he still has the premieres of two Hollywood blockbusters to promote.

Chen Yu will probably only attend the domestic premiere for 2-3 days, and the main focus will be on several other countries.

The Hollywood premiere is no different from other films. It siphons the global box office market. Unlike Chen Yu's "Departures" and "Extraction", which seem to have grossed 2 to 3 million and 6.5 million US dollars worldwide, they still rely mainly on the Asian market.

This time, the two summer blockbusters "Mission Impossible 3" and "Fast and Furious 3" should be able to further increase Chen Yu's international influence.

Because of all these things, the filming schedule of "Invisible Mission" was extended to 3 months.

"Better Days" took two months to shoot, and it will be almost finished by the end of the year for the Lunar New Year holiday.

By that time, the filming of "Bruce Lee" should have started.

Whether "Invisible Spy" can be released during this year's Spring Festival depends on Chen Yu's shooting progress and post-production work.

Anyway, in the previous life, "Mission Impossible 4" only took one year from the start of filming to its release, and this life only has 1 months, so we can give it a try.

"There's also a graduation show in June, don't forget it!"

“You have to write your graduation thesis too!”

Liu Yifei was there reminding.

Many graduates of the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama attach great importance to their graduation drama, and teachers of the Central Academy of Drama also attach great importance to it. This is because many students will be remembered by people in the industry and audiences who like drama through this graduation drama, which is of utmost importance to them.

It is also a good opportunity to showcase your acting skills.

But Chen Yu obviously didn't need it, but he went to attend in order to get his diploma, and also because he was still a student at the Central Academy of Drama.

So he will definitely be there.

"Well, the notice has been arranged, we will go back together then!"

Chen Yu was eating while video chatting with Liu Yifei.

In the afternoon, he set off for Japan.

……

2 days later, Los Angeles International Airport, USA.

"Boss!"

"Chan——"

Manager Mazen and Larson, the head of Chen Yu's agency team, happily hugged Chen Yu.

For the next three months, Chen Yu will stay here unless he returns to China.

"Go see your new home first!"

Larson is no longer Chen Yu's driver, but sits in the passenger seat. His driver is someone else, who also works part-time as Chen Yu's bodyguard. He is an old black man and a retired soldier.

Some time ago, Chen Yu commissioned Larson to find him a house in Hollywood, and Larson has already chosen one for him.

It is located in Beverly Hills, the most famous Hollywood estate and the most prestigious residential area in the world.

Originally, Chen Yu only wanted to buy an apartment of more than 100 square meters, but he followed Richard's advice and learned that in the United States, especially celebrities, they must buy houses in wealthy areas, otherwise various robberies and riots will occur frequently.

If this was the case in 06, it is even harder to say what will happen in the future.

Therefore, a single-family villa is the best choice.

Moreover, the price is still affordable for Chen Yu.

3442 square feet, or more than 300 square meters of usable area, is priced at US$299.99 million. Many Hollywood stars live nearby, including NBA stars.

Cheng Long also bought a property here.

Although the price seems reasonable, you still have to pay property tax every year.

This is a considerable expense.

"Chan, your neighbor is Julianne Moore, you should know her, right? Brad Pitt is also nearby, and O'Neal!"

"Shaq, formerly of the Lakers!"

The car drove into Beverly Hills, and Larson introduced it to Chen Yu.

Finally, Chen Yu saw a building that looked like an ancient European castle. In fact, Chen Yu had seen it in photos, but he was still a little shocked when he saw it in real life.

The front gate of the fence opened to a stone path with various green plants on both sides. What caught Chen Yu's eye was the gate that looked like an ancient castle.

It’s very tall, and surprisingly empty inside. From the third floor, you can clearly see the pointed roof.

You walk in through the main entrance, and there is an entrance area that is about 4-5 meters high. There is no porch or anything like that, only a rack for changing clothes and shoes. The living room is surprisingly large.

However, the area near the entrance is very high, but it is normal when you walk into the living room.

It was a typical Western decoration style, with storage compartments on the walls of the stairs filled with statues of Jesus and ornaments. In the eyes of Chen Yu, a man from the future, the decoration certainly did not meet his expectations at all.

However, there is no time for renovation. When I really make it in Hollywood, I can still change it.

This property is almost an investment now. The current housing prices in Hollywood have not reached their peak. Houses in this kind of wealthy area will never have trouble selling. The previous landlord is actually a celebrity.

"How's it going, chan?"

Larson thought Chen Yu was very satisfied with the place he chose: "This is also a school district house. Your children can directly become American citizens in the future, and it will be very convenient for them to go to school!"

This is probably what many Chinese people who come to the United States currently hope to do.

The second generation completely became Americans.

"Yes, I am satisfied!"

Chen Yu said polite words and strolled up and down the third floor. Except for the lack of a swimming pool, the rooftop was a good place to practice martial arts.

It's ok to just live here.

It’s not that Chen Yu doesn’t even like the villa, but he is really not used to the decoration and environment.

Compared to this wealthy area, Chen Yu still prefers those small country houses in American TV dramas. Although living there may not be convenient, it should be very comfortable to live there.

But there shouldn't be any problem for Liu Yifei to come over. Staying in a hotel every day is not a solution.

"Boss, according to your request, I have had the whole house disinfected and cleaned, and many furniture, appliances, and personal items have been washed and replaced!"

Mazan was reporting to Chen Yu that these were all Chen Yu's requirements before he came.

"I see. Thanks!"

Chen Yu smiled slightly and then walked to the reception room. They still had other things to do.

Starting from the day after tomorrow, Chen Yu will officially join the crew to shoot "Invisible Spy". The United States is the first stop for the filming, and then he will go to Russia and then to Taiwan. All these production teams have already been coordinated.

“It’s mainly about training!”

"Climbing the world's tallest building requires relevant skills. The extreme climbing team we found said that it takes at least half a month of relevant training to ensure that you can complete the relevant real special effects of the movie!"

Larson was talking there, and Chen Yu nodded: "Okay, I can train after the notice every day!"

"Are the team members reliable? Can they work according to my schedule?"

"Sure, no problem at all!"

"That's fine. I will definitely cooperate. Is there anything else?"

Chen Yu saw that Larson was hesitant to speak. Larson shrugged and looked at Mazen. Mazen said, "Boss, I don't know why you want to take such a risk, but since you insist on filming this, we can't stop you!"

"However, insurance companies around the world have rejected your application. No one dares to accept it!"

Mazan handed several documents to Chen Yu. Chen Yu looked at the English on them and couldn't help laughing: "I thought it was something. If you don't protect us, you won't shoot it?"

"This is the biggest marketing point of our movie. I climbed the world's tallest building myself without a stunt double!"

"All right!"

Mazen also looked at Larson helplessly. In their opinion, Chen Yu's behavior was too risky.

But Chen Yu knew that if he wanted to stand out in Hollywood and gain respect, he had to take risks.

Of course, the reason why Cheng Long is so successful is that he has worked hard for it.

He is now just copying Tom Cruise's routine, leaving Tom Cruise with no way out.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. We'll take better security measures. Even if we have to shoot slowly, we have to capture the realism of the sky!"

In this regard, Chen Yu is actually more confident than anyone else.

He thinks that his age, skills, courage, etc. are superior to Tom Cruise.

He could do it, and Chen Yu felt there was no reason why he couldn't do it!
