Full-time actor

Chapter 639 [65] Chen Yu’s first character label!
“What exactly is a rabbit’s hoof?”

"Promise me you'll stay and I'll tell you!"

"..."

With the conversation between Ethan, played by Tom Cruise, and the boss of the security department, "Mission Impossible 3" finally came to an end.

“Oh~~”

The theater was suddenly filled with cheers and screams, followed by sparse applause, and then countless people clapped their hands.

“Brother, you’re going to sell big!”

Will Smith turned around and winked at Tom Cruise.

At the same time, he smiled at Chen Yu who was standing next to Tom Cruise and said, "Chan, I was right about you. Your skills have surpassed Jackie Chan. He is old now. You are the new Kung Fu star in Hollywood!"

"Wow, those fight scenes in the movie were so cool. I like the way you use weapons!"

Snapped!
The two men shook hands firmly, and Tom Cruise on the side said with a smile, "I hope you can book a few theaters for me, and let your fans come to watch my movie!"

"No problem. After all, I'm much more popular than I am now, ahaha...hahaha!"

Will Smith laughed and the two high-fived.

Afterwards, many people came forward to congratulate Tom Cruise, and of course some also greeted Chen Yu.

This was the first time Liu Yifei watched Mission: Impossible 3, and he had to admit that, apart from Tom Cruise, the character he remembered most clearly was probably Chen Long, played by Chen Yu.

This is not due to the role in "Escaping", but the fact that in this film, Chen Long's character has a lot of performance and highlights.

He is proficient in driving, flying planes, using hidden weapons and throwing knives, and close combat. He is simply an omnipotent super agent.

His strength is stronger than Ethan, but the protagonist Ethan in the story wins in courage and strategy. The two of them, one is a scholar and the other is a warrior, and they are a perfect pair.

On the contrary, among the four members of the group, Maggie Q's Jane and Black Luther are much dimmer.

Of course, Liu Yifei also knew the reason for doing this. They had to take care of the Asian market, especially China.

China Film invested a lot in this movie, and shot nearly half an hour of the plot in China, so for these reasons, Chen Yu is definitely positioned as the second male lead, with only a few less main male lead roles than Tom Cruise.

"Thank you, thank you everyone for coming to the premiere of Mission: Impossible 3!"

Paramount's famous producer Arthur Anderson came to the stage with Chen Yu, Tom Cruise and other leading actors.

The group began to talk about some interesting stories during the filming of Mission: Impossible 3. Of course, the big screen at the back was playing some behind-the-scenes footage, and many reporters and media present were filming.

The premiere lasted until 11 o'clock. Will Smith snapped his fingers with Chen Yu backstage and leaned close to his ear and said, "Chan, what do you think of the suggestion I gave you last time?"

Will Smith has always wanted to promote his son. Ever since his son starred in "Men in Black 2", he has intended to train Jaden Smith to become an American child star.

Jaden is currently preparing to shoot a biographical film with him, which is Will Smith's ambitious work.

"The Pursuit of Happiness"!
It was also this movie that made Jaden Smith known to movie fans all over the world.

The leading actor of this movie is actually Will Smith, so he wants to make another movie and let Chen Yu and Cheng Long play supporting roles to completely bring out his son.

He even bought the copyright to his movie, "The Karate Kid," a hit Hollywood movie released in 84!
The new film wants to overtake this one, which is "The Karate Kid" starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith!
Chen Yu knew all this.

"If my schedule is OK, of course!"

"But I still have to read the script!"

Chen Yu smiled at Will Smith.

At present, he has no objection to participating in Hollywood movies, unlike Asia, where he will definitely be selective.

But what he lacks now in Hollywood is the opportunity to show his face. Even if it is just a supporting role, as long as he is not a villain and the script is ok, Chen Yu can give it a try.

Only when you become famous can you choose the script and organize the group independently.

In Hollywood right now, what Chen Yu lacks is a household name like Jackie Chan.

Even if "Mission Impossible 3" was released, it would only raise his fame to a higher level. Add in "Fast and Furious 3", and that's about it.

He must make a box office hit starring himself before he can gain a foothold in Hollywood.

It would be best if he could have his own series of movies like Jackie Chan.

For example, his "Peak" series. If Chen Yu wants to achieve Jackie Chan's current status in Hollywood, he really needs his own flagship film.

In the "Mission Impossible" and "Fast and Furious" series, he is not the absolute protagonist.

The influence of the first film cannot be compared with that of the group portrait series of films.

Of course, filming more Hollywood blockbusters, even if he plays a supporting role, would actually help his popularity to some extent.

When the movie in which he stars is released, it will generate even higher box office revenue.

"Then I'll have someone start writing the script, and I'd also like to invite Jackie to participate in the production of this movie!"

"Better call Jet along too!"

Will Smith is indeed a very ambitious guy.

In fact, having Jackie Chan and Jet Li star in the same movie is an idea shared by many Hollywood filmmakers. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the later "Double J Project", or "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Many fans of Jackie Chan and Jet Li are actually looking forward to seeing the two of them perform together.

This is the current business competition between the two people.

Will Smith is obviously even more amazing. In order to shape his son, he even wants the Double J and Chen Yu. If this lineup is formed, Jaden Smith, who plays the leading male role, will most likely become famous all over the world.

At least, the box office in Asia will definitely be good with Chen Yu and the other two starring in this movie, and his son will also have access to the Asian market.

We have to admit that Will Smith has a good business acumen. Currently, he is invincible in the United States in terms of popularity and box office appeal, and the title of King Smith is well-deserved.

Even Tom Cruise would have to back off if he faced him right now.

In the next few years, Hollywood was indeed Will Smith's world.

"The Pursuit of Happyness", "I Am Legend", "Hancock"... He is building his own Hollywood business empire by releasing a hit movie almost every year.

He was able to invite Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Chen Yu to film a movie together, which shows he definitely has the ability to do so.

“It seems his wife is also a star!”

After saying hello to Tom Cruise, Will Smith and others, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei walked out of the theater.

"Well, she's the star of the Matrix series, but his wife was originally a singer and is quite capable. She manages Will's business empire and has founded several brands!"

Will Smith's wife Jada is actually a neglected person. Without her, there would be no Will Smith today.

When the host of the later Academy Awards insulted her, Will punched her in front of the audience all over the world, which shocked the world.

Chen Yu took a special look at his wife's information at that time, and was a little surprised.

Singer-songwriter, writer, actress, industrialist... he has so many titles that Chen Yu initially thought that all these were thanks to Will, but in the end, she discovered that Will Smith actually relied on her.

Chen Yu told Liu Yifei about this woman, and Liu Yifei listened with great interest. It was obvious that she had a filter for successful women.

The two chatted as they arrived at the parking lot, where they saw many media reporters still taking pictures of the Bugatti. "Chan, is this car yours?"

A reporter from The Hollywood Reporter who had interviewed Chen Yu asked.

Chen Yu immediately said in a very formal way: "No, it's sponsored by Volkswagen. They are about to launch an ultra-luxury supercar brand!"

The two people asked and answered each other, and all the reporters around were obviously listening.

Although everyone knows that this is a "soft advertisement", many media outlets will spontaneously report on this matter without the need for public relations or money from Volkswagen. This is the benefit of brand sponsorship in many cases.

"I'm still wondering whose car this is, it's so cool!"

Tom Cruise came out with his wife and daughter and saw Chen Yu opening the car door.

Will Smith also looked at Chen Yu's car with shining eyes, and spread his hands in a funny way: "This car is so cool, I will definitely buy one, or else you can reluctantly sell it to me?"

Tom Cruise, who was standing nearby, came over with interest after his wife and daughter got into the car.

Chen Yu told them some information about Bugatti, and it was obvious that the two of them couldn't let go of the car.

For many American elites, cars are indeed their toys. No one would complain about having too many cars. They just get tired of the old and love the new.

After introducing the two of them, Chen Yu waved to them and went their separate ways.

With a step on the accelerator, Chen Yu drove directly into Hollywood Boulevard.

Today, relying on the car under him, Chen Yu enjoyed the treatment of a protagonist. Sometimes the help that brands can provide to artists is also very great.

"With the help of rebirth, I can choose some valuable brands to cooperate with!"

This can also be regarded as a disguised way to enhance Chen Yu's own global influence.

After all, as the brand grows bigger, they will also invest in advertising in major media around the world, which will also be a benefit to the promotion of artists.

"Honey, was Mission: Impossible 3 the first script you chose when you entered Hollywood?"

Sometimes Liu Yifei really has to admire Chen Yu's vision, and of course his ability.

Selecting "Mission Impossible 3" of course requires operation.

Chen Yu's success and the fact that he got a role that was destined to be a box office hit and would skyrocket his popularity was definitely not just luck.

In fact, many people, including Jackie Chan and Jet Li, had a very low starting point when they made their first movie in Hollywood.

Chen Yu is definitely the tallest one.

I guess only Zhang Ziyi can be compared to her.

Her first movie after entering Hollywood was "Rush Hour 2" starring Jackie Chan, and she played the leading female role. She is still very popular among movie fans.

"Neither!"

"It was probably an accident. There are many potential reasons, such as China Film Investment..."

Chen Yu talked about how he got the role in Mission: Impossible 3. Looking back now, it was indeed a bit of luck and the foresight of a reborn person.

The reason why many actors fail in Hollywood is actually because they don’t choose the right movies.

Chen Yu’s first step seems to be the right one so far.

As for Liu Yifei, Chen Yu copied Zhang Ziyi's path for her.

"How was the movie?"

Chen Yu was driving and had no time to ask Liu Yifei what she thought of "Mission Impossible 3".

"I can't estimate the box office, but it shouldn't be too bad, right?"

"After all, he has the support of the box office and fans of the previous two films. I am only talking about the role. If the box office is a big hit, Chen Long will become a character label in the hearts of many people!"

The so-called character label is a character that can be remembered by movie fans.

Just like the Hong Kong police in Jackie Chan's "Peak" series, there are also top character labels such as Captain America and Iron Man.

A very memorable character, similar to a personal IP!

Although Chen Long certainly cannot be compared with Captain America, but in the field of action movies, this character will definitely occupy a place in film history.

"Hopefully!"

"If the box office is good, we should have everything!"

"This year I am preparing to make a breakthrough in Hollywood, and next year I will try to release a few high-grossing blockbusters starring me!"

"Invisible Bourne" counts as one, but I don't know if the "Bruce Lee" to be filmed at the end of the year will count as one.

I don’t want to think about “Better Days” anymore, as long as it can win an award at the three major international film festivals.

It is true that it will take 1-2 years for Hollywood to become a big hit, so Chen Yu still has to work his way up step by step. Mission: Impossible 3 can be considered the first shot in his counterattack against Hollywood!
Fortunately, the previous films "House of Flying Daggers", "Kung Fu", "Departures" and "Extraction" laid a good enough foundation.

The four movies combined have grossed over 6 million in North America, and the DVD sales are almost as high, so he still has a certain degree of popularity and influence in North America... Next, he will have to rely on Hollywood movies to become a household name.

boom--

The car drove into the garage of the Beverly Hills villa. Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were obviously tired today, so they took a shower and went straight to bed.

The next day, Chen Yu woke up and went to the computer without even washing up.

Although "Mission Impossible 3" has not yet been released and only held its premiere, and it will take a few days for it to be truly released nationwide, there are several critical data when a movie is released in the United States.

Unlike China, word of mouth will only ferment after the movie is released.

Even if there is an early premiere, many film critics will comment and write reviews, and even Douban will post ratings and so on, but that is actually not very useful as a reference.

Many movie fans and viewers will not go out of their way to watch it, and some are even suspected of recharging their money.

It's obviously a terrible movie, but they are touted as a perfect masterpiece.

The Americans have done a good job in this regard. Although they also have recharge, commercial operations, etc., the advance film reviews of Rotten Tomatoes media are a kind of pre-screening data adopted by many institutions around the world.

Even many cinemas will refer to this data when scheduling films and sharing rental revenues.

The Rotten Tomatoes media rating does have a huge influence.

Many movie fans, even domestic audiences, will check the Rotten Tomatoes data in advance.

Now, Chen Yu just wants to see what Rotten Tomatoes score the media will give to "Mission Impossible 3" before it is released!
This data is actually very real.

Only certified media professionals can give Rotten Tomatoes ratings.

Relatively speaking, it is much more intuitive.

If you are charged with bad reviews, not only will the Rotten Tomatoes backend detect it and make you lose your review information, but even movie fans will remember your account and complain.

Yesterday, the premiere of "Mission Impossible 3" ended. According to the nature of media people, the Rotten Tomatoes score must have come out.

Correspondingly, pre-sales in North America and around the world should also be put on the agenda!
