Full-time actor

Chapter 704 Congratulations to China Film for entering the 10 billion club!

clap clap clap!
The applause in the cinema lasted for a long time.

Everyone had just finished watching the world premiere of "Blind Mountain", and many people shed tears, including Liu Yifei herself.

She was in a daze watching the movie she had filmed more than a year ago, and she almost didn't recognize that this rustic country girl was actually herself.

Even the actors themselves can't tell, let alone other people.

So when Liu Yifei, Li Yang and Chen Yu came on stage, many people covered their mouths and screamed.

What a surprise.

The leading actress is so beautiful?

My whole body seems to be glowing.

But she was obviously covered in dust and dirt in the movie just now, and didn’t look very pretty. Was she deliberately making herself ugly?

"Thank you!"

"The role of Bai Xuemei is the most painful one I have ever played in my life!"

"I can feel her feeling of powerlessness, the frustration of escaping and being caught again and again!"

"I think this is not just happening in China, it's happening all over the world. I hope there will be no more trafficking of children and women in this world!"

"..."

Liu Yifei narrated in English her original intention of making this film and her own feelings.

There was applause again.

Everyone saw Liu Yifei's acting skills in this movie.

In fact, Chen Yu also thought it was very good.

This is a movie that can win awards, but it is hard to say whether it can have the last laugh.

Chen Yu brought Liu Yifei to the banquet a few days ago. He also found the right people, including public relations, connections, the jury... Chen Yu contacted everyone.

This is of course allowed by the rules.

As for whether or not you can win the award, it really depends on the final result.

"Brother Yu, Director Li, the movie is really well made!"

A bald guy with a slight beard walked up to Chen Yu and Li Yang, and the female companion he brought with him greeted Liu Yifei.

Wang Quan An.

The director of "Tuya's Marriage" is quite famous in China, and the female companion is the leading actress Yu Nan.

She was marveling at Liu Yifei's acting skills, and the two of them were praising each other professionally.

"Director Wang!"

Chen Yu also shook hands with Wang Quanan.

"My "Tuya's Marriage" will premiere this afternoon, please come and watch it!"

Wang Quanan said politely, and Chen Yu nodded: "Sure!"

This movie is the biggest competitor of "Blind Mountain" this time. The tone of the two movies is actually similar.

"Blind Mountain" tells the story of abducted college girls, while "Tuya's Marriage" tells the story of a Mongolian woman Tuya who, due to the hardships of life, goes to look for a husband with her disabled ex-husband Bater.

They are all about women. This year, Berlin focuses on women's liberation, so women's films shine at this film festival.

Just after seeing off Wang Quanan and Yu Nan, another short-haired woman came over with a man and a woman.

"Brother Yu, long time no see!"

Li Yu hugged Chen Yu tightly, and waved to Li Yang and Liu Yifei.

She and Chen Yu had met several times at the Venice Film Festival two years ago.

The film "Beauty" directed by her was nominated for the main competition of that Venice Film Festival, and "Departures" and "Lust, Caution" were also shortlisted, so the Chinese community gathered many times during those days.

In the end, the film won the International Alliance Art Film Award, which was considered a small achievement.

This year, Li Yu came to Berlin with her large-scale film and received this year's nomination.

"Sister Yu, long time no see!"

Chen Yu was smiling, and Li Yu quickly introduced the two actors next to him to Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

In fact, Liu Yifei had already started chatting with two people.

Both of them are quite famous in China now - Fan Bingbing, the handsome Mr. Fan, and Tong Dawei, the male and female protagonists of "Apple". They met Chen Yu when they walked the red carpet a few days ago.

"Brother Yu~~~"

Fan Bingbing called Chen Yu in a tender voice and came up to him to ask for a hug.

I have to say, Fan Bingbing is really good at it. No wonder she can climb higher and higher. She is not afraid of what others say. What’s more, the person in front of her is Chen Yu, the most powerful figure in the Chinese entertainment industry.

There is certainly no harm in making friends with such people.

Tong Dawei also shook hands with Chen Yu respectfully. After they chatted for a while, Chen Yu began to entertain other directors and actors.

They are all from Europe. Chen Yu has met several of them at the Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals.

Chen Yu is now very famous in Europe, and "Invisible Bourne" is about to be released in a few days, so now is a good time to make friends with him.

"The day after tomorrow is the premiere of our film Apple. Brother Yu has to come and support us no matter what!"

Li Yu said pleadingly.

Although she has been competing for awards in the three major festivals, her fame among the three is not very high, unlike Wang Quanan, who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy and has been shortlisted for the three major festivals before, so she has much more connections and influence than Li Yu.

Wang Quanan is more famous in China.

Therefore, for the premiere ceremony, we must have some respectable support, otherwise, we will be at a disadvantage in terms of publicity, awards, etc.

"Okay, I'll definitely come then!"

Chen Yu has always been supportive of Chinese films. Unless the film is bad or the director is not a good person, he will definitely help if he can. As long as he has time and can participate, he will definitely do so.

This is also the reason why Chen Yu doesn’t have many enemies in this circle.

Many people know his character, so unlike when he is talking to other people, he does not act humble and modest. Although Chen Yu has a good reputation, people including Li Yu and Wang Quan'an are all very polite when talking to him.

"Whoo~~~"

Received wave after wave.

After everyone in the theater left, Liu Yifei, who was wearing a special dress, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

ended.

Having been looking forward to the premiere for many days, Liu Yifei just watched the film in which she starred for the first time.

But I have to say, she cried.

The movie was well made, at least for Liu Yifei, she deserves a trophy.

If it were released in China, it would probably attract the attention of certain departments and groups.

This is enough.

Making a movie can win awards and also bring great promotion and changes to society. This may be the meaning of making movies.

"The premiere of Tuya's Marriage is coming up this afternoon. Do you want to go and watch it?"

Chen Yu asked.

"Go ahead, this movie doesn't seem to be very popular..."

Anyway, I haven’t heard anyone discussing it at the film festival these days, but I didn’t expect that in its previous life, it would become the real dark horse of this year’s Berlin Film Festival.

Although there were two Chinese judges involved, "Tu Ya" is indeed a masterpiece.

Many films have been reviewed in the Berlinale these days, and the discussion about "Tuya" was not that intense, so Liu Yifei didn't really take this film seriously. Instead, she felt that "Apple" was more of a threat.

After all, Li Yu at least won a consolation prize in Venice.

Then, I finished watching Tuya in the afternoon.

Even Liu Yifei changed her mind.

"This movie is very profound, a genre film!"

Liu Yifei sat in the movie seat and spoke to Chen Yu next to her.

At this moment, all the judges and the chairman of the jury came forward to congratulate Wang Quanan.

This movie broke everyone's cognition after it was released, and many people cried while watching it.

They were moved by the great personality of the heroine Tuya in the movie. "The actress who played Yu Nan acted really well!"

Liu Yifei felt a very strong pressure anyway. If nothing unexpected happened, Yu Nan would be one of her strongest rivals for this year's Berlin Best Actress Award, because her performance in this movie was indeed very outstanding.

You can tell from the occasional cheers from the audience just now, and now the members of the jury are all talking to her.

After the premiere, Yu Nan became a small celebrity in the European circle.

Good acting skills are indeed the best way to stand out from the crowd, just like Liu Yifei this morning, her acting skills also conquered many people.

"And did you see it?"

“The writer of this drama is a great man!”

Lu Wei!

“The screenwriter of Farewell My Concubine and To Live!”

“Europeans are still very familiar with him!”

Chen Yu whispered in Liu Yifei's ear. Of course Liu Yifei had heard of this name. He is the ceiling level of domestic editors and has always worked with big directors.

"Come on, let's go down!"

"Congratulations, Director Wang!"

Although they were competitors, as a colleague in the Chinese film industry, Chen Yu, based on the principle that all the films were made by Chinese people, and that being shortlisted for the main competition together was a collective honor, went forward with Liu Yifei and Li Yang.

Wang Quanan seemed very excited. He didn't expect so many people would come to watch the movie, even the jury came.

And there is Chen Yu.

But what excited me the most was the word of mouth after the movie was released, which was very good.

Many audience members stayed at the scene and were reluctant to leave. In addition, judges and foreigners came up to him one after another to chat with him, which made him feel flattered.

He knew that this movie of his would become famous.

With so many foreigners optimistic about the film, there will be no problem in making a profit, and the film should have no trouble selling in Europe.

It depends on how much it can be sold for.

The investment in this movie is actually very small, but with the word-of-mouth from the premiere, it will definitely be sold at a good price.

"Director Wang, congratulations!"

"excellent work!"

Chen Yu's words were of course sincere, but Wang Quanan took them as polite remarks and said modestly, "Brother Yu's "Blind Mountain" is a masterpiece!"

"It's all good, it's all good!"

Li Yang acted as a peacemaker and several people started laughing.

It can be seen that Chinese filmmakers are indeed quite united abroad.

Although Lao Wang’s reputation was not very good in the future and his PC was arrested, he is definitely consistent to the outside world now.

In the next few days, Chen Yu took Liu Yifei to several premieres.

On March 3st, Li Yang finally received a call from the organizers of the Berlin Film Festival.

Won the award.

The organizer invited Li Yang to stay.

"Yes!"

When Liu Yifei heard the news, she was obviously very happy and high-fived Chen Yu.

At least, this shows that "Blind Mountain" has not gained nothing.

The significance of Liu Yifei making this movie finally came true!
“I can’t wait for the awards ceremony to arrive!”

"I haven't personally experienced the feeling of winning an award for a movie I made!"

It was indeed Liu Yifei’s first time.

Chen Yu did participate, and this time it was mainly to accompany Liu Yifei.

"Calm down!"

Chen Yu was flipping through the catalogue of the Berlin Film Festival. "Blind Mountain" and "Tuya's Marriage" had become the favorites to win awards at this year's Berlin Film Festival.

There is also "Others" directed by Ariel Roth, a German director!
There is a high chance that these three films will win awards.

However, the favorites are doomed to fail, and many predictions in the journal sometimes don’t even win a single award.

Chen Yu just wanted to see some film reviews and trends of his competitors.

After watching it, Chen Yu felt that Chinese films should have a great advantage this time.

buzzing-

The sudden sound of a text message made Chen Yu put down the conference journal in his hand.

Liu Yifei also came over suddenly.

"Brother Yu, it's 8 million!"

"We just broke through 8 million, 10 billion is definitely within our reach!"

Looking at the message sent by Yang Lu, Chen Yu hadn't even started to get excited yet, but Liu Yifei next to him had already jumped up excitedly.

8 billion!

Just now, "Invisible Bourne" finally broke the 11 million mark after 8 days of release.

During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, it grossed 6.7 million yuan, almost breaking the Chinese domestic film box office record of more than 7 million yuan set by "Escape Plan" last year.

However, just two days later, the record of "The Action Movie" was broken by "Invisible Mission".

And today, 11 days after "Invisible Mission" was released, he is about to break another record.

"Mission Impossible 3" grossed 8.09 million yuan, setting a box office record for Chinese films.

Not just domestically produced.

After all, it's already 8 million now, so exceeding 8.09 million by the early morning is a piece of cake.

"Then, we'll be looking forward to 9 million and 10 billion!"

9 million will definitely be reached quickly, and 10 billion will probably take half a month to a month. But it doesn’t matter. Even if it can’t reach 10 billion, China Film will find a way to extend the secret key to break this record.

If all else fails, Yu Xin has another trick up his sleeve - voting by cheating.

The final box office of "Invisible Mission" will also be increased to 10 billion.

After all, this symbolizes a completely different meaning.

It's definitely worth spending tens of millions.

You know, this is the first film in the history of Chinese cinema to break 10 billion RMB.

And it is a movie invested by a domestic film company.

"Just observe it. If you can avoid brushing, then definitely don't brush it!"

"Let's see if we can naturally break through the 10 billion box office barrier!"

After seeing box office revenues of 30 billion or 50 billion in the future, Chen Yu was not surprised at the 10 billion.

If you can’t break it this year, there’s still next year.

"One billion, honey! I never thought that a movie with a box office of one billion would be born in our country!"

“And I’m the lead actor!”

Liu Yifei had not yet recovered from her excitement. She was jumping up and down while holding Chen Yu in her arms, looking very happy.

"Then do you want to celebrate?"

Chen Yu said this in a playful manner.

Liu Yifei obviously didn't understand: "Of course, I'll go get the wine!"

"I don't mean celebration like this!"

"No, it's just that we can break 10 billion, isn't it already broken?"

"Do you think you can refuse?"

Chen Yu, like a big bad wolf, threw Liu Yifei onto the bed.
