Full-time actor

Chapter 643 [69] Thank you for your hard work, my dear wife!
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The applause lasted for a long time, and there were film critics cheering.

The premiere of "Mission Impossible 3" in the capital ended successfully.

In fact, the two people sitting next to Chen Yu, Han Sanpin and Yang Buting, had already seen the original film.

When the two people submitted the Paramount cut for review, they watched it with the relevant leaders.

Otherwise I wouldn't be so confident about the film.

Even now, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Da Vinci Code" is very popular in China. Mainland China was the first country in the world to release it, and it took in 5000 million at the box office in just one week.

But after discussion, China Film Group still allocated nearly 3% of its screening time to Mission: Impossible 50.

Basically, all cinemas across the country have received corresponding notices.

This is of course something that Bona cannot do. Only China Film Group has the ability to do this.

“Has the global pre-sale exceeded 2 million US dollars?”

Han Sanpin clapped his hands and suddenly asked Chen Yu in his ear.

"Well, it's broken. It's over 2.5 million. According to market forecasters at Paramount, it should be able to reach over 6 million!"

Chen Yu said in a low voice.

Han Sanpin nodded slightly: "Then you should be more stable in Hollywood!"

"Have you ever thought about co-producing a movie with China Film Group?"

It was unclear whether Han Sanpin's words were a test or something else, but Chen Yu was definitely willing: "I have definitely thought about it, but I am only concerned with filming, and the company is also managed by the team. In fact, I have always wanted to contact China Film..."

"Haha, I know Yuxin Pictures. People in the industry say that you have a first-rate eye for movies, and all the movies you invest in are profitable!"

"You can make money, so you don't need any other channels!"

Han Sanpin looked at Chen Yu meaningfully. Seeing the crew of Mission: Impossible 3 coming on stage together, he patted him and said, "Go up first. We'll find some time to have a good chat later!"

It can be seen that Han Sanpin really has a lot to say to Chen Yu.

The main reason is that China's film and cultural industry has already entered the fast lane, and Yang Buting has gradually handed over China Film's domestic business to him.

He is responsible for some overseas cooperation, while Han Sanpin is in charge of the domestic part. As the most box office-appealing movie star in the country, Chen Yu's value is indeed immeasurable.

After answering questions from a group of film critics, Chen Yu, Han Sanpin and others went backstage.

China Film Corporation arranged a reception dinner.

After the event, Tom Cruise returned to his room. They had to rush to Shanghai the next morning. Chen Yu originally wanted to go home, but Han Sanpin kept him.

Just him and Chen Yu sat in a very private meeting room.

"Don't be shy, speak freely!"

"The cooperation I told you about before was mainly to allow Yu Xin and China Film Group to jointly produce some blockbuster films with box office influence!"

Han Sanpin said to Chen Yu with a smile.

Chen Yu nodded. There are certainly many benefits to cooperating with China Film Group. At least there is no need to worry about scheduling issues.

It’s not that Chen Yu has box office appeal now and doesn’t need to be scheduled for screening.

With market operations, no matter how strong your personal abilities are, when a movie is released in a certain schedule, such as the Spring Festival schedule driven by Chen Yu, the screening schedule will be determined.

There is definitely no harm in being able to connect with China Film.

As far as Chen Yu knows, the next film that Stephen Chow will shoot, "CJ7", is a project in cooperation with China Film.

At present, China Film Group is in urgent need of some box office success and excellent works to build its own influence.

"Third Master, I would love for Yu Xin to cooperate with China Film Group!"

"But I have an idea!"

Chen Yu finally had the chance to chat with Han Sanpin, and of course he wanted to express his long-held vision.

"you say!"

“Hollywood’s advanced experience can also be shared!”

Han Sanpin thought that Chen Yu would talk about some of the filming situations in Hollywood.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "There is not much difference in filming. Hollywood and China have different national conditions. They have been operating commercially for many years and have a complete system. China has just started to show signs of commercial movies!"

“I don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing to learn everything from Hollywood. China has its own way of operating that’s suitable for China!”

"But Hollywood's industrialized process is an advantage!"

Chen Yu's point of view still made Han Sanpin look at him with new eyes.

Many filmmakers in this circle have always highly praised foreign experiences, especially the Hollywood model.

To put it bluntly, it means worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners.

They would like to copy the entire filming process, and in fact the country has been sending directors abroad for further studies for this purpose.

There are plans almost every year.

This cannot be said to be a bad thing, as several famous directors have emerged. But more often than not, some directors’ films are neither Chinese nor Western, and are a hodgepodge.

For example, many special effects commercial blockbusters in the future.

So Chen Yu's words actually surprised Han Sanpin.

He thought Chen Yu should be very supportive of the Hollywood model.

But in fact it seems not to be the case.

"Technology, this is what we need to learn from, Third Master, this is what I am talking about!"

"As for other shooting techniques and artistry, I think China is not inferior to foreign countries. In terms of manpower, crew operation, pictures, etc., they are far superior!"

"So what were you thinking just now?"

Han Sanpin smiled slightly, and Chen Yu didn't waste any words and said directly: "Theater line!"

“There are still too few movie theaters in China!”

"The cinemas across the country are already being built at full speed. Don't be impatient. Cinema chains also need time!"

"Third Master, this is not what I'm talking about. It's the reform of the cinema!"

"Do you know the technology of 3D and IMAX?"

Chen Yu has actually wanted to run a cinema chain for a long time, but he has never found an opportunity. But now that he has met Han Sanpin, it is a good opportunity.

"Well, it is said to be the future development direction of the film industry. I have read relevant reports!"

"Didn't the devil have a family?"

"Yes, Shanghai Peace Cinema has an IMAX system, but it's not often used!"

The Shanghai Peace Cinema, which is currently known as the first IMAX in the country, is just a set of equipment and is not usually used for playback.

“It’s actually more than just directions!”

Chen Yu looked at Han Sanpin and said formally, "What bothers audiences from going to the cinema is that for many films nowadays, the viewing experience is the same in the cinema as at home, but if there are some reasons why you have to go to the cinema, then the box office of this movie will go up!"

“But IMAX and 3D technology can do it!”

"Because the current home viewing experience certainly cannot reach the shocking effect of 3D and IMAX, of course, a film that can meet such technical requirements is itself a huge investment!"

Chen Yu's words made Han Sanpin silent.

He thought for a while before saying, "This risk is huge!"

“If there are only a few big productions like this in a year, I don’t think any theater would spend the energy to try this, although as you said, it can indeed increase box office and viewing experience!”

It mainly depends on the source of the film.

If Chen Yu had not been reborn, he would definitely not dare to say this.

With only 1-2 IMAX movies a year, how can theaters make money?!
This is also the reason why the Peace Cinema only has equipment but no real IMAX screen, because there is almost no big difference in the movie-watching experience.

"Third Master, there are definitely risks!"

"I'm talking about the positive aspects. The impact of this increase in movie-watching can boost the box office of other movies and maintain fans in the surrounding areas!"

“That’s the advantage on the cinema side!”

"Well, that's for sure, but who wants to be the first one to do it?"

Han Sanpin looked at Chen Yu, and Chen Yu smiled and said, "Yu Xin can give it a try. This can also be considered as cooperation with China Film Group!"

Han Sanpin was waiting for this sentence, otherwise why would Chen Yu say so much?
Of course he knew what Chen Yu was thinking.

"I can help you with the cinema chain, but in return, you have to guarantee me the box office!"

"Movie box office?"

Those in charge of distribution at China Film Group Corporation are of course evaluated every year by their superiors.

The most intuitive thing is the box office revenue.

"If it's not the movie box office, then is it your theater box office?"

Han Sanpin smoked a cigarette and smiled.

Chen Yu thought about it and didn't hesitate: "Okay, I will do my best. I should make 2-3 movies every year. If the films invested by China Film need me to do anything, as long as I have time, I will definitely cooperate with you!" "What about Bona? It seems that Yu Xin is going to invest in it, right?"

Han Sanpin flicked the ash off his cigarette, and Chen Yu hurriedly said, "The movies invested by Yu Xin can be given to Bona as a part. Anyway, the movies I star in will definitely be developed in cooperation with China Film in the future!"

“For imported films, there is even less worry!”

Currently, all imported films are distributed exclusively by China Film Corporation.

"Okay, where will the first cinema be located? The capital?"

"Imperial Capital!"

Although Shanghai has the upper hand in terms of consumption capacity and box office revenue, Chen Yu is registered here now, so he will definitely choose the capital to open the country's first official IMAX theater.

"Actually, Master San, if the IMAX viewing experience is good, the ticket price will be different from ordinary movie tickets!"

"This is also a technique that can boost movie box office!"

"I don't care about that, I just want to see the box office!"

Han Sanpin was smoking a puff of smoke. It was obvious that he had only one purpose in looking for Chen Yu today.

Tie Chen Yu to China Film Corporation.

Bona has indeed made a lot of money this year thanks to Yu Xin.

Making money is secondary. The title of the first domestic private issuer is also growing.

It still has a certain impact on China Film.

The two chatted for a while and exchanged contact information before Chen Yu walked out of the private meeting room.

Take a long breath.

Chatting with big guys was indeed not what Chen Yu was good at. Fortunately, he was humble enough, and China Film Group had not yet reached the size of a behemoth like it would be in the future, so Han Sanpin's attitude was relatively good.

Now that he is the second-in-command, of course he only wants to expand and strengthen the business, so the talks went very smoothly.

The next step is to let Yu Xin contact China Film Corporation. The location of the cinema and other matters should all be given the green light.

This is the benefit of joining hands with China Film Group.

You just need to invest in the filming, and he will take care of the rest.

But you have to achieve the box office performance that China Film wants, and that’s what Han Sanpin values.

……

An hour later, Chen Yu finally returned to his long-lost home.

I won’t be staying in a hotel. I’ll just fly to Shanghai with the Mission: Impossible 3 crew tomorrow morning.

Of course, Mom and Dad were very happy to see him. They really didn't see him very often throughout the year. Liu Yifei also came to visit with Liu Xiaoli.

My mother-in-law hadn't seen him for a long time and obviously missed him a little.

These two families have been living like one family.

After Liu Yifei returned to her home after having sex with Chen Yu, Shen Xiaoqin knocked on Chen Yu's door.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Chen Yu also plans to check out the film reviews on overseas imdb, and he will also take time to check out Rotten Tomatoes. Currently, these two websites are the most recognized in the industry overseas.

He mainly looks for suggestions to see if there are any areas or details that need to be improved in future performances.

"Xiao Yu, look, your dad is busy with your company's affairs every day, even though you have found someone to help him now!"

"As for me, I will retire soon..."

"stop!"

Chen Yu knew what his mother was going to say.

As soon as she said this, she started to urge people to have children and get married again, and the routine was always the same.

"You can go traveling when you retire. If not, I'll let Aunt Liu accompany you!"

Chen Yu stood up, walked in front of his mother, took a look at her and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

I see, my mom is in menopause.

He had experienced this in his previous life. They forced him to go home every day. The same few words were repeated over and over again: go home, go on a blind date, and have children!

“How can I travel all day long?”

"Look, you and Xixi have known each other for such a long time, you should settle down your relationship as soon as possible. Mom is not begging you to get married. Let's find a date and marry this girl, okay?"

"..."

That's not urging you to get married.

"In your circle, I see a lot of people are divorced, cheating, and even moms are afraid of that!"

"Xixi is a good kid. Your engagement won't interfere with your careers or your relationship, right?"

Shen Xiaoqin came well prepared and looked sincere.

Chen Yu shook his head with a smile: "Mom, now that you're engaged, are you going to urge us to get married as soon as possible?"

"You're bored at home after retirement, do you still want to have a grandchild?"

This kind of tactics will probably lead to cyberbullying in ten years.

But in 06, it was apparently still very popular.

Even though Shen Xiaoqin is a teacher, she still has those traditional women's ideas.

"Your mother didn't expect it to be so smooth. You were so reluctant to get engaged. I actually asked Yifei's mother about it and she said it's up to you!"

"How about you ask Yifei?"

Shen Xiaoqin poked the room next door.

Chen Yu suddenly laughed even more happily: "Mom, how about you help me ask?"

"If I ask her, she will definitely disagree. Maybe my mother-in-law can help!"

"What did you say!"

Shen Xiaoqin hit Chen Yu directly and said unhappily, "Are you treating me like your mom is getting married? How can I ask that?"

"That's it, I'm getting married, so you have to listen to me!"

"We have plans, don't worry about it, go to sleep, your son will be gone again early tomorrow morning!"

Chen Yu pushed Shen Xiaoqin out of the door, and Shen Xiaoqin pinched Chen Yu's thigh a few times: "Yifei, watch out for me. I see a lot of people like her online. Think about it for yourself!"

It turned out to be the case.

It's hard for the mother, she feels that her son has too many competitors, she wants to act early and make it a done deal?!
"understood!"

"I will definitely help you keep an eye on it and ensure that the task is completed!"

"Don't be so playful with me. I'm telling you something serious. There are so many variables in your circle. I, your mother, have a bad heart. Don't do those messy things with me. I'm telling you..."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Chen Yu was a little overwhelmed.

After finally closing the door, I couldn't help but spread my hands.

What the hell is this!
Chen Yu turned on the computer and looked at the emoticons sent by Liu Yifei. He said depressedly: "Your mother-in-law is in menopause!"

"what?"

Liu Yifei types very fast.

"I just urged you to get married!"

Liu Yifei: "..."

"Don't worry, I've fooled you, but I feel like it's useless. I'll have to go through it all again next time I come back!"

Liu Yifei sent a smiley face.

"speak English!"

"Haha, I believe my wise and powerful husband will find a way!"

I learned the word "da" from Chen Yu, because he would send "mumuda" when he had nothing to do.

“It just makes me suffer!”

"I'm the one who's working hard, okay?!"

Liu Yifei had so much to complain about: "Before, I only had to take care of one mother, but now I have two. It's not easy for me. I have to talk to her every day. Now that she's in menopause, I should spend more time with her!"

"Okay, okay, my dear wife, you've worked so hard, go back to filming, your two mothers are too difficult to deal with!"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Yifei certainly didn't say that out of anger, she was actually willing to spend time with her family. Since Chen Yu wasn't there, she had to do it for them.
