Chapter 656 [82] Returning to the Central Academy of Drama, Everything Has Changed!

Thursday, June 2006, 6.

There are still 3 days left until the graduation exam.

After Chen Yu and Liu Yifei returned to the capital last night, they went straight home.

Early in the morning, the two rushed to the Central Academy of Drama.

At present, students of the Acting Department of the 02 class of the Central Academy of Drama have basically stopped attending classes. The crew is still filming and rehearsing for the graduation drama.

Every student looked busy.

As the graduation drama was approaching, the students in the crew rushed back one after another.

For this last big exam, no one wants to miss it and end up not being able to graduate.

In the hearts of every acting student, the Central Academy of Drama's graduation drama is definitely more important than anything else, including auditions for important works.

If you miss an audition, you can always try again, but the graduation drama only comes once in a lifetime.

This is equivalent to the graduation thesis and graduation project of ordinary students. Students must participate, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

After studying acting for four years, if he can't even get a diploma, he can't even say he is a student of the Central Academy of Drama.

For some people who go out to film, this certificate is still very important.

Unlike Chen Yu and Liu Yifei, who have already been branded with the mark of the Central Academy of Drama, they don't care.

Students without fame definitely won’t work.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity to perform on the same stage with Chen Yu, and no one wants to miss it.

How do you say that?

The only couple photo I took with the girl I had a crush on in class was our graduation photo.

Currently, Chen Yu is in the acting department, and he also has this feeling of déjà vu. Many classmates obviously want to catch up with him or something.

Chen Yu would not do such a thing as not participating in it, as it would not benefit him in any way.

If it were exposed by the media, it would be a huge negative impact.

What's more, in this graduation drama, he also holds the titles of director, screenwriter and producer. With so many buffs, Chen Yu is definitely the first protagonist of this drama.

No one can be missing, except him.

……

"Producer Zhang called me yesterday!"

In the car, Liu Yifei suddenly spoke to Chen Yu.

"Why didn't he call me?"

The producer Zhang mentioned by Liu Yifei is of course Zhang Jizhong.

"You're a big shot now, people are afraid of you, so call me, it's the same effect, I'm still easy to talk to!"

Liu Yifei was certainly not stupid and obviously knew what Zhang Jizhong meant by calling him.

"What's going on? Is The Condor Heroes going to be aired on TV?"

Zhang Jizhong is a person who would not visit them unless there was something important to do. He would only call the two of them when there was a need.

"Yes, it will be broadcast exclusively on Capital TV next week!"

"It is said that it cost 3000 million, setting a record for the highest single TV series!"

"Wow? Over 70 per episode?"

"Didu TV has invested a huge amount of money..."

You have to remember that this was in 06, and a TV station's annual profit was probably only this much.

Chen Yu did a quick calculation and came to this conclusion.

Last year, the box office of Drama King was only around 30, which has more than doubled. This time, China Audiovisual has definitely made a fortune.

In March, although the local TV station of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" premiered in Zhejiang Province, it was broadcasted simultaneously by six TV stations, setting a record of over 3% viewership in a single region, with the regional average viewership reaching a miracle of 1.5%.

Six local TV stations, including Capital Channel 2000 and Shancheng Film and Television Channel, jointly invested million yuan to buy the first round of broadcasting rights.

Zhejiang Province also spent an additional 500 million yuan for the first broadcast rights.

"This drama might make more than 2 million!"

Japan, South Korea and some Southeast Asian countries will definitely introduce it.

Not to mention the Formosa and Hong Kong regions.

Chen Yu thought about it and felt that he had done his best for China.

Neither side broke up.

However, Huaxia Audiovisual still had some humanity in it and half-sold and half-gave the copyright for the exclusive online broadcast of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" to Fanqie.com at 100 yuan per episode.

However, the price of online streaming is indeed not high nowadays.

"Wulin Waijia", which was all the rage on the Internet a few years ago, only sold 2000 per episode, and of course it was also won by Tomato.

This is still in this life, in the previous life there were only 1250 episodes per episode!
However, the sales of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" on satellite TV reached 3000 million, which was bound to cause a sensation in the entire industry.

It has triggered a wave of craze for TV dramas.

Chen Yu remembers the 2011 hit drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which only sold over 6000 million yuan even after it was broadcast on satellite TV, and it had 76 episodes, which translates to about 80 yuan per episode.

It is a little more than the current "The Return of the Condor Heroes", which is enough to show how high Chen Yu's value in the film and television industry is now.

However, online broadcasting became very popular in 11. LeTV was wealthy enough at the time and acquired the exclusive online broadcasting rights of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" for 2000 million.

In a few years, TV dramas will be dominated by the Internet.

At present, TV series are still a money-making tool for various TV stations. It is conservatively estimated that if "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is premiered on the capital satellite TV, the advertising fees will not be lower than the corresponding copyright fees.

Coupled with the attraction of some new audiences, the influence of Capital TV has greatly increased, and the subsequent income will surely increase several times with interest.

Spending 3000 million to get the exclusive broadcasting rights on satellite TV is actually worth it.

Chen Yu is more popular in the imperial capital than anywhere else.

Be it movie box office or TV drama ratings, the capital is undoubtedly number one!

"Let's do the math. I've made hundreds of millions for Huaxia Audiovisual!"

Chen Yu sighed a little. Liu Yifei's current agency contract has been transferred to Yuxin Agency, with Liu Xiaoli as the person in charge. At that time, Chen Yu's domestic agent Ji Qiannan will serve as the deputy general manager, and the two of them will be in charge of this agency.

Except for Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Jingying, many of the artists are students and graduates of the Central Academy of Drama.

Chen Yu wants to build his agency's team himself, rather than recruiting some already famous stars in the circle.

With the support of the Central Academy of Drama, Chen Yu can generate revenue on his own and does not need other people to come to the company to become his second brother or second sister.

Therefore, most of the actors in "Better Days" have signed Yu Xin's agency contracts and are considered the company's artists.

"Before, there were rumors that you and Huaxia Audiovisual Club had terminated their contract. Now I understand your thoughts a little bit!"

In Liu Yifei's opinion, 1000 million yuan is enough to terminate the contract with the company, which any star would do.

The only thing is that Chen Yu’s actions are incomprehensible to the media and fans.

Now Liu Yifei understood a little.

Since Chen Yu made his debut, he has basically never offended anyone, except for the time with Brother Kaizi.

And we don't have any business dealings with anyone except working together on movies.

This is a moderate way of handling the relationship.

Not close, but not hostile either.

On the contrary, abroad, Chen Yu was somewhat radical. While acquiring Marvel, he also tried to integrate into the Hollywood circle.

“Because the domestic market is our base!”

"If I can't make it in Hollywood, at least I can go back to China. If I can't make it in China, it will be very dangerous!"

"Beijing Circle is behind Huaxia Audiovisual. Now I have joined hands with China Film Group. They can't share the cake. Many of the films that Yu Xin invests in still need to be developed together with them!" "There is definitely no benefit in eating alone!"

Chen Yu explained casually.

Liu Yifei looked at him. He was only a few years older than her, so why did she feel that he was becoming more and more mature?
Have a vision and judgment that surpasses peers.

"Honey, do you feel tired like this?"

He runs a company and directs movies, so the key is to take care of everything.

For example, in this graduation drama, Chen Yu also has to participate in the entire rehearsal.

Liu Yifei thought about it and felt that Chen Yu was like a robot, as if he never had time to rest.

"Tired!"

“But I think if I give more when I’m young, I can rest when I’m old!”

"Maybe you can retire in your 30s, didn't I tell you that?"

Chen Yu really thought so. Liu Yifei shook her head and said, "Wouldn't that mean you would lose a lot of fun? A 20-year-old has his own life, and a 20-year-old has his own life. When you are 30, you will definitely not be able to experience the happiness you had in your 30s!"

"Others, like Mark Zuckerberg..."

"Who?"

Liu Yifei thought about it carefully and realized that Chen Yu was talking about the founder of Facebook, a very popular website abroad.

"Why wouldn't you?"

"Because I'm experiencing it now, like having a girlfriend like you!"

"In my opinion, falling in love is the most wonderful experience in your 20s!"

"What do you think you should do in your 20s?"

It seemed that Chen Yu had never discussed this topic with Liu Yifei.

“Travel, watch movies, go to school?”

“Do something exciting…”

“I’ve done all of these!”

Chen Yu said calmly, as if he was recalling his past life when he was 20 to 30 years old and doing nothing: "In fact, for many people, apart from dating, their 20 to 30 years old are wasted!"

"I just used this time that many people would have wasted to build my career!"

"If you ask any man if he is willing to do this, 90% of them will say yes, and the other 10% just want to lie flat on their backs!"

"I can only do what I want to do while I still have energy. When I am over 30, I may not have the energy anymore!"

"Brother Long, do you want to go back to your 20s?"

Chen Yu was talking about Cheng Long. Liu Yifei nodded and said, "Of course. If he was 20 years younger, what would happen?"

"That's it!"

"Because I am young, I can fight hard. If I fight hard at 30, it might be too late!"

Chen Yu knew Liu Yifei's personality. She was a lazy type, but she was not without ambition. She was just not that passionate about it.

But in this life, he was swept up in it together with Chen Yu.

So far, the results seem to be pretty good. At least Liu Yifei is enjoying the satisfaction brought by filming and improving her acting skills.

……

The car soon arrived at the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama. The arrival of the two people certainly caused a sensation, but the students were very calm now. Chen Yu and Liu Yifei even waved at them with a smile and happily took photos and signed autographs.

After finally arriving at the rehearsal room, some classmates had already arrived and started to greet Chen Yu.

Hugs of hugs.

There is a group in the 02 Acting Department, and Chen Yu would show up from time to time. Many people know Chen Yu’s personality. He is quite different from many celebrities. To use a phrase from later generations, he is very down-to-earth.

He won't be as arrogant as Wen Zhang after he became famous, offending the media and flaunting all kinds of big names.

So when he got into trouble, it was normal for him to be crushed to death by everyone.

If he were more humble and polite in his daily life, he might have a chance to test the public.

Of course, his ex-wife also contributed a lot to this!
On the other hand, aren’t Bai Baihe and others gradually making a comeback?

It is indeed very important to be a good person in this circle. After all, you are facing the public and need to accept some judgment from the public.

"I heard you signed perfectly?"

Chen Yu asked Wen Zhang, and Wen Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, if you don't sign, you won't get the role!"

Perfect Film and Television Company is a major force in the Beijing circle.

A group of people in the Beijing circle are currently working on a youth-themed TV series together. Wen Zhang and Bai Baihe are both the leading actors, as well as Tong Dawei and Bai Baihe's future husband Chen Yufan.

"Days Related to Youth"!
The show was a hit on Emperor Capital TV for a month in the past two months, and the two are now considered to be somewhat famous.

But the most famous one is definitely the nursery rhyme.

She did not experience the Huang Dingyu and Zhang Mo incident in her previous life. Currently, she is in a passionate relationship with the son of the Zhang family and has produced several hit TV series.

Including films such as "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth" and "Golden Wedding" starring Zhang Guoli.

Apart from Chen Yu and Liu Yifei, she should be the best performing student in Class 02.

In fact, the entire Class of 02 should thank Chen Yu. With him, many people have received more media exposure and coverage.

At present, in the entire Central Academy of Drama, even in the Class of 96, there are actually no students like the Class of 02 who have become famous and participated in so many works before graduation.

Almost half of the students in the class have works of art to some extent.

What's more, after the graduation drama "Charlotte's Troubles" became popular, Chen Yu will also plan to shoot a movie version and let many students of the Central Academy of Drama participate.

Since Tong Yao and the other two have signed with other agencies, it’s hard to say.

Others still have this opportunity.

After a while, Tong Yao, Bai Baihe, Zhu Yawen and others arrived.

After not seeing each other for a long time, almost half a year, Chen Yu discovered that everyone was more or less completely different from what he remembered.

The changes in more than three years may not be as great as those in the past six months.

As graduation approaches, the students in the Department of Performance have become very mature, completely different from how Chen Yu first knew them.

Some of the female classmates...are full of worldly airs.

Some male classmates are very utilitarian.

This is probably the transition from school to society that many students majoring in performing arts have to face.

Chen Yu didn’t think there was anything wrong with this, because it was a choice everyone had for their future.

Fortunately, Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei beside him. Everything was just like the first time he saw her after his rebirth. She had a calm temperament, smiling eyes, and tilted her head, surprised why Chen Yu was looking at her, and made a face at him.

Yes, the reason why I work so hard is to free myself from the world and utilitarianism and do what I want to do.

Be a relatively pure actor or director.

"Is everyone here?"

"Chen Yu is here too?"

Chang Li, with a head full of white hair, appeared at the door of the rehearsal room.

She looked at Chen Yu who turned around and smiled slightly.

This most satisfying student she had ever taught in her life was just like when she first saw him, neither arrogant nor impatient, just like an ordinary student who could integrate into any environment.

"Teacher Chang!"

Chen Yu smiled at her respectfully and politely, and Chang Li nodded: "I'm glad you're back. Come on, start showing off your four years of study!"
