Full-time actor

"Brother Yu, you have changed so much!"

Diao Yinan looked at Chen Yu in shock, unable to help laughing, but then he had to give him a thumbs up.

admire!

He really admired Chen Yu's perseverance.

Wang Jingchun and Duan Yihong debuted much earlier than Chen Yu, but in the entertainment industry, fame is everything, so when they saw Chen Yu appear, they naturally stood up to greet him.

Duan Yihong plays the second male lead Liang Zhijun, who was played by Wang Xuebing in his previous life but was kicked out by Chen Yu.

This kind of inferior artist is the kind of person that Chen Yu despises the most, and he has always been ashamed of it.

When thinking of those police officers, Chen Yu chose zero tolerance.

Therefore, a candidate who was more suitable than Wang Xuebing was chosen - Duan Yihong.

"Brother Yu, I'm glad to be able to act with you!"

Duan Yihong was the first to greet Chen Yu. As a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama together with Chen Yu, Duan Yihong has only one well-known work so far.

"Soldier Assault"!
But his acting skills are actually beyond doubt. He will be nominated for three major award-winning actors and the winner of the Tokyo Film Award.

Chen Yu felt that he was the ceiling of acting skills for male actors of this age in China.

He is a contracted artist of the National Theatre of China, and he has actually filmed quite a few works, enjoying a good reputation in the circle.

It just lacks a truly stand-out work.

"Brother, you're welcome!"

"I should learn from you!"

“I’ve seen one of your works…”

Chen Yu paused, and Duan Yihong laughed: "Soldier Assault?"

“No, it’s not shown in China!”

When Chen Yu said this, Duan Yihong's expression obviously changed.

Although "Soldier Assault" received extremely high ratings, the role he played, Yuan Lang, was also very popular.

But because he is a supporting role, his popularity is indeed not high and he has not yet become a big hit.

Including the later masterpiece "The Captain", the ratings were actually not high.

It was not until later films such as "The Snowstorm" and "The Burning Sun" that he was brought to the public's attention. And as his fame grew, the roles in "Soldier" and "Captain" became more valuable.

With the blessing of awards, he has become a rare actor with great acting skills among Chinese male actors.

"Xiwei?"

Duan Yihong spoke softly, and Wang Jingchun next to him became a little curious.

He hasn't heard of this movie?

"Yes, Xiwei!"

As Chen Yu spoke, Duan Yihong smiled bitterly.

This movie is actually a nightmare that Duan Yihong cannot bear to mention; in this work, he has demonstrated his best acting skills to date.

It can be said that no matter how good his performances were in his later works, they were not as good as "Xi Wei".

This work exhausted all his performance.

Also, this is a Thai horror film.

When he acted in this movie, his name was Duan Long, not Duan Yihong.

Because of the many strange and bizarre things that happened during the filming of this movie, he changed his name to its current one under the guidance of a master.

The movie "Xiwei" is really scary.

It tells the story of Huang Lihui, an innocent, kind and hopeful Chinese man, who gradually becomes a murderer due to the oppression of life. This is adapted from true events and the future movie will be called "The Murderer".

Not only in the movie, Xiwei is also a household name in Thailand. He is a devil who scares children.

It is said that he killed 6 children, the youngest of whom was 5 years old and the oldest was 11 years old, and he also dug out the children's hearts and ate them secretly.

In his previous life, Chen Yu had seen this movie online and had nightmares about it for several days.

In this movie, Duan Yihong's acting is just like the real thing.

At one point, Chen Yu thought he was Xiwei, and then he spent many days looking up information about him.

The more I investigated, the more frightened I became, but I also found a lot of inconsistent clues.

Now Xiwei's body has been turned into a mummy and displayed in a Thai museum for decades.

But in fact, Xiwei was slandered.

He was used as a scapegoat by Thailand's powerful people. When the Thai police were faced with multiple serial murders that they were unable to solve, they just happened to use Xi Wei, who did not understand Thai, to take the blame.

The key point is that he has suffered decades of infamy, and he is a native Chinese, but he was turned into a mummy for exhibition in Thailand. In 2020, under pressure from the Internet, Thailand cremated him.

Therefore, Chen Yu fully supports domestic directors making movies with Thailand as the background in the future, portraying the police and the government as incompetent.

Because that’s exactly who they are.

"Don't talk about this work, hahaha, I don't even want anyone to know about it!"

Duan Yihong smiled awkwardly. Chen Yu looked up in admiration: "But I saw Brother Duan's best performance!"

"You've made me curious!"

Wang Jingchun chuckled. He was an easy-going person by nature. Especially knowing Chen Yu's current influence, it would not be a bad thing for him to make more friends.

"It was only after we arrived at the scene that we realized we would be acting opposite the best actor. We were truly flattered."

Wang Jingchun was joking, but his attitude towards Chen Yu was very appropriate.

"Teacher Wang, what are you talking about? You are my senior, and I still have a lot to learn from you."

Chen Yu has a humble attitude, and looking around the entire entertainment industry, I'm afraid there's no one who can compete with him.

However, the fact that he was able to do this is enough to prove Chen Yu's character.

After a few people chatted for a while, Chen Yu looked forward and saw that all the main creators had arrived.

Several actors who participated in "Black Coal, Thin Ice" will win the title of Best Actor or Best Actor in the future.

Take Wang Jingchun for example. He could only act in TV dramas in the early days, but after he played Rongrong in "Black Coal, Thin Ice", his career skyrocketed.

He then starred in the historical film "The Founding of a Republic".

With the movie "So Long, My Son", he won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival.

The crew of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" was picked out in the later stage, and each one of them was very capable and capable of fighting.

"Now that everyone is here, let's not waste time!"

Diao Yinan's voice was heard, and the others were also a little unhappy. After all, they finally had the chance to show their face in front of Chen Yu.

Ni Jingyang was one of them. She looked at Liu Yifei beside Chen Yu, who had benefited countlessly from Chen Yu.

Although he has outstanding looks, his acting skills are just average.

She is a little older than Liu Yifei, but she has appeared in many TV series and movies.

Her role in the hit TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes" which was aired two years ago also made her famous.

It’s a pity that she doesn’t have Liu Yifei’s luck to be able to get close to Chen Yu.

In fact, many actresses in the outside world currently think so; if Liu Yifei was not Chen Yu’s girlfriend, how could she be doing so well?
All I can say is that jealousy can completely change a person.

Soon, the opening ceremony officially began.

As the auspicious moment passed, firecrackers sounded as Diao Yinan shouted.

Chen Yu looked forward and saw an extra-large cake placed on the table facing him, with some fruits, flowers and candles next to it.

Diao Yinan is a man who strives for perfection in his work, so even though it was just a launch ceremony it was not simple at all.

Chen Yu was surrounded and stood in the middle. As for the reporters on the side, they were all taking pictures of Chen Yu.

It’s not that they look down on the actors next to them, but the most popular and famous among this group of actors is Chen Yu. As someone who always makes the entertainment headlines, who wouldn’t want to get first-hand information about him?

Diao Yinan took the red envelope and handed it to Chen Yu, who was sitting closer to the front.

"Thank you, Director Diao."

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei leaned against each other and took the red envelope handed over by Diao Yinan with both hands.

“Now I announce that the filming of ‘Fireworks in the Daytime’ has officially started!” Diao Yinan is usually taciturn, but on the day when the new drama starts filming, he seems more excited than anyone else.

The applause continued one after another, and the reporters on the side could no longer hold back.

After all, they had such a chance to get in close contact with Chen Yu and Liu Yifei, they wished they could just get close to them and start fighting.

It was not until all the main actors and actresses were seated that reporters approached with strange eyes.

"Brother Yu——"

The Sina reporter just opened his mouth but was interrupted by Chen Yu.

"..."

The sudden action startled the reporters present, and they secretly wondered in their hearts that something went wrong and caused the person in front of them to be dissatisfied.

At this moment, the other actors present looked over and sat up straight for a moment.

After all, everyone knows Chen Yu's status and he has won numerous awards since his debut.

Standing in this position, some temper is definitely understandable.

"My uncrowned kings, please ask others first!"

Chen Yu was laughing, his voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

They naturally understood the meaning of this statement. Chen Yu was giving other actors opportunities.

Everyone has self-awareness, and it is definitely not their credit that they were able to gather so many reporters.

Even though the reporters in front of them only interviewed Chen Yu, they did not have any statement.

If you are not as skilled as others, you must admit defeat.

However, Chen Yu obviously broke their perception, and even made those present think that they were judging others by their own standards.

Chen Yu gave priority to interviewing these unknown young actors.

Liu Yifei looked at the person beside her, with a look of complete admiration on her face.

Chen Yu has the ability to make her unable to stop. Even in the current situation, he can still take other people's thoughts into consideration.

The reporter in front of him understood what was going on and turned to look at Diao Yinan who was sitting on the side.

"Director Diao, may I ask how you invited Brother Yu and Yifei to participate in this film?"

This question is not tricky, but it still revolves around Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

There is no way, unless the two of them leave now, they will always be the center of the topic.

Diao Yinan thought for a moment, what should he say?

The whole process was extremely smooth. Chen Yu was asked to be the executive director when he was preparing for "Better Days".

He mentioned the script and the other party adopted it directly, which was so smooth that even Diao Yinan was a little surprised.

I didn't have much hope at first, after all, Chen Yu was already a Grand Slam actor at that time.

"It was actually a chance encounter. Brother Yu from Better Days invited me to be the executive director. I asked Brother Yu to consider my script after we finished filming Better Days!"

"After I showed him the script, he agreed straight away. I think the reason why Brother Yu agreed to participate was probably because of the script."

"I am very excited. After all, it is my honor to have Brother Yu as the protagonist."

The reporters present understood clearly that this answer was reasonable. Chen Yu is a world-renowned movie star, and his decision to act in a movie directed by a small director must have something to do with the script.

Chen Yu's laughter made the reporters turn their cameras to look over there.

“It was the script that really moved me.”

The actor had already spoken, and the reporters seized the opportunity.

"What kind of script is this? Is it worth it for Brother Yu to drag Xixi to act together?"

Chen Yu was silent for a moment, then he spoke: "In my opinion, the name of "Fireworks in the Daytime" alone has a deep meaning. The fireworks that should have appeared at night appeared in the daytime, which originally brought a sense of bizarre déjà vu."

“Plus, the film explores the dark side of human nature and moral dilemmas, the complexity of love, the uncertainty of fate and self-redemption. I personally think this film is very innovative and will definitely make a strong mark at the film festival!”

"As for the plot, you still need to go and watch it in person!"

Leaving a foreshadowing will also facilitate publicity.

Several reporters are veterans, so of course they understand.

After all, Chen Yu's answer was absolutely perfect, which really made them start looking forward to "Fireworks in the Daytime".

Such a serious answer is clearly an indirect way of promoting the film and raising its profile.

However, the real reason for taking on this movie is probably only known to Chen Yu himself.

There is really nothing to ask about the other leading actors. After all, they are not well-known in the industry and they usually appear in very few works.

However, the proper process still needs to be followed.

"Excuse me, how do you feel about being able to act with Brother Yu this time?"

Yu Kailei, who was staring at Chen Yu in a daze, came back to his senses when his name was suddenly called.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and looked towards the camera.

After all, the other few debuted before Chen Yu. Even if they are not as famous as Chen Yu, they are still very important in the entertainment industry. After all, they cannot break the rules.

This question can only be asked to people with less fame.

Yu Kailei took the microphone.

"I am very honored."

"I've always heard that Brother Yu is the most rigorous in filming, and I'm looking forward to this filming mode."

Several leading actors present laughed.

But what Yu Kailei said was true, and he really felt honored.

As for Chen Yu, he had already looked over and was also trying his best to search for Yu Kailei's memories of his previous life.

only--

As a person who made his debut in TV series, his fame is indeed lower than that of Wang Jingchun and Duan Yihong.

Fortunately, he has participated in many good works afterwards.

For example, "The Captain" and "Old Cannon".

However, his fame has always been lukewarm. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Black Coal, Thin Ice, and the number of awards he won after that seems to be very few.

Chen Yu came to his senses and found that the microphone was already in his hands.

The part that all reporters have been waiting for has arrived.

"Excuse me, Brother Yu, you have suddenly gained weight again. What's the reason? Did you gain weight for the role like you did in Blind Well?"

"Or is it because of the diet control some time ago that led to overeating?"

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed, she knew that the reporters would definitely turn their questions to this.

He turned to look at Chen Yu, who also had a serious look on his face.

“It’s because of the role.”

“As for what’s next, I hope everyone can pay more attention to Black Coal, Thin Ice. We will work hard to present the best to everyone.”

The question-and-answer session for reporters ended here.

Soon, the news was all over the Internet.

"Filming of Chen Yu's new work "Black Coal, Thin Ice" starts!"

"Gaining 20 pounds to compete in the three major film festivals again for a role?"

"Chen Yu and Liu Yifei are working together again. Let's wait and see whether they will be a big screen couple again this time!"

……

Several news headlines in a row were about Chen Yu. It has to be said that his popularity is really hot.

In just one noon, countless media outlets had already made a big fuss about it.

Through Chen Yu’s answer, fans and netizens are even more looking forward to this movie. After all, a movie that can get Chen Yu’s praise must be a masterpiece.

At this time, Chen Yu and his team were preparing to set off to the filming location of "Fireworks in the Daytime"!
Because there were no media outlets at the start-up location, the start-up location was chosen to be the capital city, which would facilitate publicity; and the filming location was in... the Northeast! (End of this chapter)
