Full-time actor

Chapter 661 [87] Challenge! The world's tallest building!

"cheers!"

"Brother Yu, a toast!"

"Brother Yu, I respect you too!"

"..."

A group of students from Class 02, Acting Department, Grade 1, Central Academy of Drama, booked a private room in a restaurant near the opera. There were two tables with more than 2 people, and they were all almost drunk.

However, this was not their last dinner together. It was time for them to go their separate ways after their graduation defense and graduation photos.

By then, it might be difficult for them to get together.

Unless it is a school anniversary or a reunion of classmates, we may run into each other, but that will be many years later.

"Brother Yu, when you marry Yifei, don't forget to invite us!"

Wen Zhang raised a glass of wine and handed it to Chen Yu, while the other students all cheered.

"Row!"

"Call them out when the time comes!"

Of course Chen Yu had nothing to be embarrassed about. Young people are thin-skinned, and he was not afraid at all of being reborn.

However, Liu Yifei next to her blushed a little, and she was a little shy when she said this.

"Oh oh oh!"

Everyone looked at the two people, and then drank a glass together.

"Xixi, have you shown your paper to Teacher Chang?"

Tang Yan suddenly said to Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei brushed her hair and shook her head: "Not yet, I still need to change it!"

"Anyway, you should be prepared. Many have been shot down, and some have been sent back several times!"

“And I was scolded!”

Tang Yan was sticking out his tongue. Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu who was surrounded by the crowd and suddenly began to ponder. It seemed that this guy... didn't write a thesis, right?

Not to mention having heard Chen Yu mention it, Liu Yifei had never seen Chen Yu write a paper on his computer.

She did write an article and asked Diao Yinan and others for help - "On the Creativity of Actors"!
This is a direction she has always wanted to write about, and this time, taking this opportunity, she has revised it several times herself, combining it with her experience in filming in recent years.

"I didn't pay it anyway!"

"By the way, what did you write? Let's discuss it."

Tang Yan asked Liu Yifei secretly.

A group of people have been preparing for the graduation drama, and now that it is done, the most difficult thing left is, of course, the thesis defense.

There is less than half a month left, and many students started writing a month ago.

I also talked a lot with Liu Tianchi and Chang Li.

Teachers these days are still very dedicated, and the essay requirements are relatively lenient. Some papers are plagiarized, some are ghostwritten, and so on. It is a mess... That is why the academic scandal of Dr. Zhai broke out at Beijing Film Academy.

It was precisely because of this trigger that several major art colleges began to take the issue of thesis seriously.

But what no one expected was that the severity of this incident would directly affect the entire academic circle.

There is no one who goes to college who doesn’t hate BYD!

The impact of this incident is far-reaching. It would be fine if you were a bad person, but the key is that you made those who came after you suffer.

The price of paper plagiarism checking has skyrocketed countless times in a few years.

Fortunately, Chen Yu did not go to college in his previous life, otherwise, after being reborn in this life, he would definitely be the first person to put a sack on him and beat him up.

In fact, Chen Yu does more and talks less, which is influenced by Dr. Zhai in his previous life to a certain extent.

This guy always talks too much and makes mistakes. A PhD doesn't even know about CNKI. He is simply trampling on the IQ of the people.

"Brother Yu, do you want to move around after dinner?"

"Shall we sing a song together?"

Everyone was giving this suggestion, and Chen Yu didn't refuse it. After all, they had only had a few gatherings.

Many people also know that he is a good singer, even to the extent that many music companies have asked him to release records. Liu Yifei is also a microphone master, and the two of them often show their love while singing karaoke.

This proposal is what they want.

The singing lasted until almost midnight before the students from Class 02, Performance Department, went home.

Many people were reluctant to leave and drank a little too much, talking nonsense.

Chen Yu called a few cars to take them, and he and Liu Yifei got in the car.

“These guys are so enthusiastic!”

Chen Yu loosened his collar, and Liu Yifei beside him said with a smile: "Isn't it because you are a Hollywood star, and they are eager to have you help them?"

"We are classmates, so if you can help, just give it a try. It's definitely nothing!"

"If it happens again, forget it!"

Chen Yu can't do it when it comes to roles.

You can say hello to the director or something like that.

"By the way, have you written your paper?"

Liu Yifei asked suddenly. She had been thinking about this all night and felt that Chen Yu should have forgotten it!
"No ah!"

Listening to Chen Yu's natural answer, Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at him intently: "You...really forgot?"

"I haven't forgotten. There are still more than ten days left. There's still time!"

Liu Yifei: "..."

"Brother, I need to look up information for my thesis, and I also need to ask my supervisor to revise it. Are you sure you have enough time?"

"You won't ask someone to write it?"

There are people like this in their class, but Liu Yifei is honest and will at most seek some guidance from a teacher who is good at writing papers.

She still couldn't do something like plagiarizing and asking others to write.

"No, how could it be!"

Are you kidding? With the precedent of Dr. Zhai, oh no, the precedent of his previous life, how could Chen Yu do this?

Even if he is not famous now, it is impossible for him to do this.

It would be fine if it hadn't been discovered, but once it was discovered... it's even worse than drug abuse. It's not as simple as banning it. It's a cancer in the entire industry and is despised by everyone.

He will also be permanently nailed to the pillar of shame, and every year, college students who check for plagiarism will subconsciously curse him.

I guess that’s all the infamy Qin Hui has ever received.

"Then will you be able to make it in ten days?"

Liu Yifei expressed deep doubts.

Chen Yu thought about it and nodded: "Fortunately, I have some direction in my mind!"

This time, he certainly didn't want to be a plagiarist.

Before his rebirth, after 06, there were of course many good papers, but Chen Yu firstly did not read them much, and secondly, he just didn't care about them.

What if it was plagiarized, and in this life some student wrote it, and it was obviously not plagiarized, but it was directly checked for plagiarism, wouldn’t that harm the other person?

Chen Yu thought about it and decided that one should have some bottom line in life.

Although he doesn't have much.

"In terms of actors?"

"No, it's the market analysis and prospects of Hollywood and China!"

This is indeed a trend that Chen Yu has always wanted to write about, and if he writes from the perspective of a reborn person, it will be more realistic.

Of course, many people probably won’t believe it.

For example, in the future China will be the world's largest film market, and the highest-grossing film in a single region will be born... In 06, even if Chen Yu set a record of 7 million yuan for a single domestic film, it would still seem like a fantasy.

At that time, no one would have believed that China could produce several films with a box office of more than 50 billion yuan.

Even many dreams are made with caution, such as aircraft carriers, fifth-generation aircraft, etc. If you say that China will have five aircraft carriers with nuclear power and multiple fifth-generation aircraft in the next 20 years, you will probably be laughed to death. No one will criticize you, they will just think you are a joke.

Especially those people who think they are tough military fans, they will slap you in the face with data and make you firmly believe that they are the truth.

After all, China's GDP is only fifth in the world.

No one would believe that China would surpass Japan, let alone such outrageous talk as China would surpass the United States militarily.

But Chen Yu just wanted to write such a paper.

This year, if nothing unexpected happens, China's GDP will surpass that of Britain, and next year it will be Germany. After that, the year after that, life will be easy, and the economy will soar into the sky like a rocket.

As a result, the entertainment industry also began its most booming decade.

Chen Yu believes that such papers will become increasingly valuable in the future.

"Yifei, do you think China's film market can surpass Hollywood?"

Chen Yu suddenly wanted to ask the person beside him.

Liu Yifei thought she had misheard and made a funny dazed gesture.

Chen Yu understood as soon as he saw her expression. Some dreams can only be believed if you are reborn. Otherwise, no matter what data is placed in front of you, you will think it is fake.

"Okay, just kidding!"

Chen Yu smiled, but Liu Yifei didn't. "You don't want to write a paper about the Chinese market surpassing Hollywood, do you?"

Liu Yifei is still smart, and she understands Chen Yu.

Unlike many people in this circle who worship foreign things, he always firmly believes in the Chinese market.

Even though he is so famous in Hollywood now, he still often pays attention to the domestic box office.

Hollywood was just his stepping stone.

Liu Yifei had this feeling more than once.

Because his heart doesn't belong there, other people can't feel it. If Liu Yifei doesn't know this, the two of them should not be in a relationship.

Only by understanding each other can we understand each other more deeply.

To use a word from later generations to describe Chen Yu, he is - Iron War Wolf!

Liu Yifei did guess right, and Chen Yu did not deny it: "I have always been extremely optimistic and optimistic about the domestic market!"

"Hong Kong and Taiwan are only small places. Take Hong Kong for example. The box office in this region alone can exceed 100 million!"

"Once the domestic economy improves, all provinces and municipalities will be able to support a billion-dollar market. You don't think that a province's economy can't catch up with Hong Kong, right?!"

"Even in provinces like Jiangsu and Guangdong, the amount is definitely more than 1 million!"

“2 million, 3 million is possible!”

“What the country lacks now is cinemas, not audiences!”

“In the next 10-20 years, a single movie making 50 billion is just the bottom line, billion is even a possibility!”

56 billion was the ceiling in the previous life. In this life, Chen Yu really wants to touch that limit.

Even if it reaches 80, it’s good.

At least it is a great progress and leap compared to the previous life.

After all, in North America, Canada and the United States combined, the highest box office for a single film in the two countries is only more than 9 million US dollars.

If we pick one of them alone, "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Changjin Lake" have already beaten the Americans.

This is also why China is said to be the world's largest single film market.

North America is more awesome than China.

But for the Americans... not necessarily.

"..."

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu with blinking eyes, as if she was listening to a foreign language.

She had always felt that the other party was very wise and thoughtful, but at this moment, she was still a little confused.

But if you say that there are problems with Chen Yu’s analysis, that’s not a big problem.

In the future, with so many provinces and cities in China, they will indeed be able to compete with Hong Kong.

But Hong Kong has a special status. Liu Yifei feels that Chen Yu still thinks too highly of the domestic market. At present, it cannot even surpass the Japanese market, let alone North America and Hollywood.

Who knows what it will be like in 10 or 20 years?
"Anyway, come on, Yifei-san!"

“The next ten years will be the golden decade for filmmakers!”

"How much bonus you can get depends on how famous you are!"

In her previous life, Liu Yifei just missed these 10 years.

After her return, she was nowhere to be found in the film market and could only start again from her comfort zone of TV dramas, which was her specialty.

The most ambitious film "Mulan", which was headed for Hollywood, also ran into a major incident. Adding to the fact that it was poorly made, it didn't make any splash at all.

Streaming media doesn’t actually make any money, and the $9000 million profit is just nonsense from Disney.

"Got it, Director Chen, please help me realize my wish as soon as possible!"

Although Liu Yifei did not agree with what Chen Yu had just said, she had a good attitude and would not refute Chen Yu if she disagreed with him on some things.

A wise woman will not talk too much or argue. She will speak with facts, which is the right way to go.

……

The next day, Chen Yu did not go to the Central Academy of Drama, nor did he go to Shancheng to film "Better Days".

Chen Yu believes that Diao Yinan can handle the rest of the roles.

He only needs to film his scenes with Liu Yifei.

Although the two people have different directing styles, in fact, Diao Yinan can move closer to the rhythm of director Chen Yu.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei went to the airport, preparing to go to Taiwan to shoot the last filming location of "Invisible Spy", which is also the most difficult scene in the entire movie - climbing the tower!
Climb the world's tallest tower, Formosa Boulevard 101, with bare hands.

The height of 508 meters is a huge challenge for any stuntman.

In this life, before Tom Cruise came up with this marketing idea, Chen Yu had already snatched it away.

So as soon as he arrived at the Formosa Airport, he was surrounded by countless Formosa paparazzi.

Originally, the media reporters certainly didn't know about this itinerary.

But the filming crew of "Invisible Spy" had already leaked the news a long time ago, and also indirectly revealed the time when Chen Yu would arrive in Taiwan. This was of course done for the hype before the movie was released.

Tom Cruise in his previous life was also marketed in this way.

Before the release of "Mission Impossible 4", the whole world knew that he would challenge the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, in person in the movie.

The whole world knows about it, so the movie was extremely popular when it was released.

It broke numerous box office records in its first weekend.

At least more than half of the audience went to watch the movie because of his attempt to build the world's tallest building.

Of course, there is also global promotion from the UAE, after all, it can increase local tourism and visibility.

In this life, it is obviously a bargain for the Formosa region.

Of course, Formosa also wants to expand its regional influence, so it is happy to make this matter known to the whole world.

Many journalists are even official.

"Chen Yu, is it true that you are going to challenge Taipei 101, the world's tallest building, in person?"

"You don't need a stand-in to shoot it yourself?"

"Are you coming to the island this time just to shoot this new Hollywood movie?"

"I heard that all insurance companies around the world have refused to insure you?"

"..."

Countless reporters put their microphones in front of Chen Yu, asking questions frantically and expecting his answers.
