I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 126 The movie is profitable before it even starts filming...

"Love Is Not Blind", outdoor set of Beijing Film Academy.

Guo Xun stopped filming and instead scrolled through his phone, laughing to himself as he scrolled.

So happy.

"Okay, you've been watching for almost the whole morning!"

"Is this play still being filmed?"

Chen Jin looked at him speechlessly. Guo Xun pointed at the reporters who were being stopped by security guards, and then pointed at what was in front of him: "Do you think we can still take pictures?"

"Sure, why do you care about them?"

"hehe!"

"Take a break, brother!"

Guo Xun patted Chen Jin on the shoulder. Chen Jin really wanted to pat him, but he was also really annoyed at the moment.

In this state, it is definitely not a good shot. The actors next to him were busy with their own things. Wan Qian came to Chen Jin with a box of cut watermelon and shook it slightly: "Want to eat, No. 1 scholar?"

"Eat!"

Chen Jin took the toothpick, poked it and took a bite. It was very juicy and really refreshing in the hot summer.

"We have to stop for a few days. If we really have to shoot tomorrow, it will be my money that will be burned!"

Chen Jin has begun to worry about his wallet.

"You don't know yet, right?"

Wan Qian was eating melons there, secretly sat down next to Chen Jin, and whispered: "Director Guo saw your news yesterday and was so happy!"

“I can think of it!”

Chen Jin could even imagine Guo Xun's shocked expression when he saw the news about himself.

Among them, he is probably the one who knows his own strength best.

So he was not at all shocked when he got the top score in the college entrance examination.

On the contrary, Wan Qian just looked around him several times, and there seemed to be something indescribable in her expression.

Admiration, disbelief, surprise... all of them.

It’s a little better now. Maybe he has begun to accept the fact that Chen Jin is a genius.

"That's not it!"

Wan Qian pushed the remaining watermelon in her hand to Chen Jin. She refused to eat it. "Director Guo said that this movie has already made a profit, so it's okay if the crew stops working!"

"What's the matter?"

Chen Jin took a bite of the melon, spit out the seeds, and looked at Guo Xun who was sending messages nearby. He didn't quite understand what Wan Qian said.

Profitable?
"This hasn't even been filmed yet, where is the profit going to come from?"

"Implant it!"

"Wedding dresses, cars, clothes, model houses...he listed a lot yesterday!"

"I'll find someone to talk to today!"

"He said that if everything can be negotiated, it will basically be profitable!"

Chen Jin: “…”

Damn, this ability to beg for alms is so damn strong!

Even Feng Xiaogang is not as awesome as you.

Feng Xiaogang is a well-known figure. He spent 1200 million on sponsorship advertising for his movie "Cell Phone", 4000 million on Taobao for "A World Without Thieves", and even more on "If You Are the One", 5000 million.

Did you learn from him?
"He said he had been waiting for this day for two months!"

This is definitely something Guo Xun could say.

Wan Qian learned it quite well.

"But seriously, with your current popularity, you must be getting a lot of advertising, right?"

Wan Qian wasn't envious, she was just saying a few words as someone who had experienced it before.

"Not bad. Several real estate companies said they would give me a few houses, as well as a learning machine, a green energy-saving air conditioner, and a car..."

Anyway, Pu Lun was very busy yesterday.

I'm still on the phone now. Basically, as soon as I finish one call, another one comes in.

The studio contract was also changed to a 7: split, with Chen Jin taking , and they even started recruiting assistants for him overnight.

Chen Jin didn't object. It was understandable to take on some endorsements while he had just become famous, so as to accumulate some initial capital. But after he became really famous, he should take as few endorsements as possible and it was also appropriate to retain some mystery.

Not to mention variety shows.

What actors need is low exposure so that the audience will have expectations for your work.

These words were not said by Chen Jin, but by Zhang Yimou.

"Oh, I'm so envious. The top scorer in the college entrance examination is different!"

"It's not like me who has to accompany drinking after accepting an endorsement..."

Wan Qian held the script and waved it, "Brother Zhuangyuan, you don't charge for acting, right?"

"Yes, charge by the hour!"

"Haha, come on, Director Guo said you have great acting skills, I want to see it!"

Wan Qian opened the script. Chen Jin had nothing to do anyway, so he took the notice and looked at the first scene that the two of them were going to shoot in a few days, and started to review it.

……

When Zhu Yanmanzi arrived, he saw Chen Jin and Wan Qian talking and laughing there.

There were a lot of reporters surrounding there. If the security guard didn't know her and Yan Ning, there was no way they would have let them in.

"My girlfriend is here, shall we continue?"

Wan Qian didn't feel Chen Jin's acting skills just now, but his lines were indeed solid. No drama actor has such a precise grasp of the role.

Although the character is very cool, his lines are actually quite poisonous.

"That's about right. I think this role won't be difficult for you!"

It should be quick to shoot.

The notice stated that it would take two months, and Chen Jin felt that the scenes between the two of them could be finished in a month and a half at most.

Even without experiencing this movie, it's easy to play Wang Yiyang.

It's mainly close to reality, so there are references and substitutions when acting. If it's a costume drama, I might have to do a brief biography of the character or something.

"In July... we can wrap up in September at the latest!"

"If we grit our teeth, maybe by mid-August!"

Chen Jin suddenly had a feeling that it might be a good idea to release this movie on Double Eleven this year while the popularity is still there.

But the details depend on marketing.

Chen Jin greeted Zhu Yanmanzi and her daughter, but walked in front of Guo Xun.

"Old Guo, I want to discuss something with you!"

Chen Jin sat down next to him.

"Say!"

It turns out that Guo Xun is contacting for implantation, and his efficiency is terrifyingly high.

“Can this movie be released on Double Eleven this year?”

After Chen Jin finished speaking, Guo Xun put down his phone and said to Chen Jin: "I really wanted to tell you about this, but I didn't expect you to think the same as I did!"

"How to say?"

"My partner has attracted investment!"

"So we really need to finish filming our drama as soon as possible. I calculated that if we rush and work overtime, one and a half months will be enough!" "Li Xianji?"

"Yes, it should be almost certain, the investor from Hong Kong!"

"Shit, isn't that our next movie?"

Chen Jin has taken it into consideration.

"But he has attracted investment, and his background is very important. Does Bao Dexi know about this?"

That is the original investor, it’s a big pit.

"Oscar for Best Cinematography!"

"Didn't you tell him that I want to invest too?"

"I told you!"

"But my words don't count..."

The copyright is in the hands of his partners.

"Besides, he has such a big background and the investors are also very powerful. The contract signed with Li Yang is for 30 months and will expire next year. We must shoot it as soon as possible!"

Guo Xun looked quite excited.

In fact, this is normal. Compared to "Love Is Not Blind", he would definitely prefer to direct "The Legend of Mir 33", which contains science fiction elements.

"Big investors have their own advantages, but you may not have the right to direct!"

"Yes, it is specifically stated in my partnership contract!"

In the future, it is because of this director's power that the crew will encounter many conflicts and divisions during filming.

Even if you write the contract, people may not necessarily respect you as a director.

Oscar for Best Cinematography, you're a newcomer?
But Chen Jin didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm. In this kind of situation, one must suffer a loss once before knowing the pain.

"It's up to you, just don't beg me when the time comes!"

Chen Jin had already set the flag, and said, "This investor must have designated the male lead!"

"Yes!"

Guo Xun looked at Chen Jin with some embarrassment: "I would like to recommend you, unless we shoot together, but my partner is more inclined to Hong Kong now!"

"It's okay, we'll talk about it later!"

"Film "Love Is Not Blind" first!"

"Of course. This is my debut work, a work that shows off my qualifications. Once it's done, Li Xianji will also have a say, right?"

Guo Xun had a nice idea.

Although what he said is true, even if your movie "Love Is Not Blind" sells for hundreds of millions, they will still not flatter you. What kind of people are Hong Kong investors? Chen Jin has seen too much about them in future autobiographical movies.

It's okay if you use Hong Kong actors in mainland movies, but the other way around is not okay; the most ridiculous thing is the Hong Kong crew, they can't adapt to the local environment in various ways.

Guo Xun will definitely suffer a great loss this time.

Chen Jin didn't want to remind him, so he could only help as much as possible when the time came.

“Then we must start filming tomorrow!”

Chen Jin was still thinking about the current movie. Guo Xun nodded and said, "Let's shoot it, but the announcement has to be redone. I have contacted a lot of product placements. Shooting in hotels and model houses is all free, and I'll even pay for it!"

"I didn't even know you sold me out!"

"How can that be possible? What is the relationship between us?"

Guo Xun laughed and said, "It's just using your current fame to help them advertise. Besides, isn't it saving you money?"

"Is it easy for me?"

Guo Xun looked indignant. Chen Jin was indeed no match for him in the area of begging.

"Don't make it too obvious. Too many implants aren't a good thing."

Some of the implants are quite distracting.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Does Huang Xiaoxian need to rent a place? The sample room is provided for free, and they also pay for it. There is also a wedding dress company. Aren't you and Huang Xiaoxian going to take photos there?"

It is true.

Just soft advertising.

"Okay, then tomorrow, we'll try to finish it in a month and a half!"

"I'll find Director Zhang and ask him to be a producer, and we'll try to get it started on Double Eleven!"

"need!"

Guo Xun made an OK gesture, and Chen Jin walked towards Zhu Yanmanzi.

"he came!"

Zhu Yanmanzi seemed a little unsure. Chen Jin lowered her head and looked at her, then asked Zhu Yanmanzi's mother, "Auntie, what happened to Xiao Zhu?"

"She, who knows..."

Even if Yan Ning knew, she couldn't say it.

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Chen, are you free tonight? Auntie invites you to my house for dinner!"

"Thank you for your help during the audition!"

"Oh that's fine!"

Such a belated thank you?

Chen Jin looked at Zhu Yanmanzi, who was obviously not right, and kicked Yan Ning when she wasn't looking at them.

The girl had obviously dressed up specially today. She was wearing canvas shoes and a short skirt. Her long legs were shining white under the scorching sun.

Snapped!
Classmate Xiao Zhu kicked him back.

"Yo ho!"

"Still excited, huh?"

Chen Jin continued to kick, Zhu Yanmanzi counterattacked and kicked again. The two of them were playing around, and Yan Ning, who was standing aside, was laughing.

These two people are like fighting with children.

Finally, Zhu Yanmanzi raised his head and suddenly burst out laughing.

After laughing, his face quickly tensed again.

Suddenly, she subconsciously picked up Chen Jin's hand and was about to bite it, but she was reluctant to do so, mainly because her mother was watching beside her, so she threw it back.

"Have you recovered?"

Chen Jin sat down next to her. Zhu Yanmanzi waved his little fists and couldn't help but punch his thighs twice.

"What's wrong? Tell me."

Chen Jin secretly grabbed Zhu Yanmanzi's hand. Zhu Yanmanzi tried to pull it back, but failed after several attempts. He could only whisper, "You bully me!"

"Why did I bully you again?"

"You just bully me. Many girls in the group want to sleep with you!"

"Hahaha!"

Chen Jin didn't know because she hadn't looked at the group, but after thinking about the nature of the girls in the group, she realized that this was something they could do.

If you want to survive in this circle, you have to be willing to take risks.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You can't stand this?"

"Then if you push open the door and see a naked woman standing in front of me next time, won't you go crazy?"

Zhu Yanmanzi: "..."

She stared there with her eyes wide open, obviously having never thought of such a thing.
