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

Chapter 269 "Damn, what a drama maniac..."

Wang Xueqi: The Besieged City in October

Liu Zhibing: Flying

Li Xuejian: Yang Shanzhou

Ge You: The Orphan of Zhao

……

This is the shortlist for the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actor. Except for Liu Zhibing who is not very famous, the other three are all powerful actors.

In fact, Liu Zhibing is also very strong. He is 50 years old. He was an actor in a troupe at the beginning and later became a special actor. He played the son of the male protagonist in Chen Jin's "The Founding of a Party".

Now he has transformed into the big screen and played many classic supporting roles.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Chen Jin to be shortlisted in this list; as for winning the award, that requires even more strength and qualifications.

The same goes for the outstanding actresses nominated, who are either Golden Horse Award winners, Golden Rooster Award winners, or Tokyo Film Award winners.

Zhu Yanmanzi is certainly not eligible for nomination.

“I underestimated the government award!”

After taking a look at the shortlist, Chen Jin sighed sincerely.

Chen Jin never really took this award seriously before, but now he feels that this award may be the true national recognition.

The Golden Rooster only has a large amount of traffic, while the Hundred Flowers is the one with the least gold content.

However, there is one good thing about the Huabiao Award. Although there are not many nominees on the shortlist, there may be 2 or winners. It is not that double or triple yolk eggs are born occasionally, but there are multiple awards.

The government awards don’t necessarily just reward one person. If the award is good, all the shortlisted candidates can be included in the list.

After all, it is not like many film festival award ceremonies that select the best, but to reward outstanding filmmakers.

Therefore, the scale of awarding prizes will be very large.

Once shortlisted, the probability of winning is very high.

"Director Guo, Chen Jin, are you guys having dinner?"

Dilraba Dilmurat saw several people looking at the shortlist for the Huabiao Awards and couldn't help but spread her hands.

She treated everyone to this meal, of course, to thank Chen Jin for getting her the leading female role in "Anarhan". The contract had just been signed a few days ago, with a salary of 2000 per episode, which was considered a price for a newcomer.

The current quotes for TV dramas in the industry are already outrageous, with prices of more than 100,000 per episode being common.

Many supporting roles only make a few thousand dollars per episode, and even if the entire series is shot, they may not be able to make up the plot of one episode.

The filming may take a month in total, and the salary is only a few thousand yuan.

The current pyramid structure of this industry is so distorted that the top artists account for 99% of the income, while 1% is the sum of the second to the bottom of the pyramid.

Many child actors are actually no different from working people.

Those with high incomes are big stars from big agencies.

"Well, let's eat!"

Chen Jin picked up the chopsticks and greeted them.

This time, I helped Dilraba Dilmurat get the role, and although I didn't make a penny, it was just a convenient thing to do, but both Dilraba Dilmurat and Guli Nazha signed with Film Science.

But the specific business can only be carried out after Pu Lun arrives.

"When are you leaving?"

Chen Jin asked Reba casually.

Reba was eating like a lady with her cherry lips. The actresses present all paid great attention to image management.

After hearing Chen Jin's question, he swallowed the food, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, on the 20th, the filming will start, and the director and crew are very anxious!"

"Are you going with the group or alone?"

Chen Jin had no scruples. He ate and drank as usual and asked questions casually.

"It will take a few days for me to join the group alone. I'm going home to see my parents first!"

"Have you said hello to the school?"

Students in the Central Academy of Drama can now go out to film in their sophomore year, but they need to write an application and a report.

"I told you to complete the formalities after school starts!"

"Ok!"

After hearing what Dilreba said, Chen Jin felt relieved. Guo Xun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Why do I feel like you're just a nanny?"

"Hahaha!"

Several girls present covered their mouths and laughed.

The conversation between Chen Jin and Dilraba Dilmurat just now was more like that between teacher and student, parent and child. Anyway, it felt weird.

"..."

Dilraba Dilmurat blushed. She actually thought Chen Jin was a nice girl and didn't know why these people were laughing.

Chen Jin was not polite and nodded: "Yes, isn't Reba a newcomer? My agent is not here, so I have to take care of her, right?"

"You, the boss, have done a great job!"

Guo Xun glanced at Zhu Yanmanzi who was eating calmly, and could only say that one had a big heart, and the other had an even bigger heart.

Sure enough, we are not a family, we don’t enter the same family.

If he spoke like this to a pretty young girl, his mother-in-law would have glared at him and he wouldn't have the courage to continue talking.

But Zhu Yanmanzi just quietly picked up the food and ate her meal. During the meal, she only looked up at Chen Jin and Di Lieba, then looked away.

"Has Director Tian's film been submitted for review?"

Guo Xun suddenly thought of something and asked Chen Jin who was standing beside him.

"No, the dragon seal just came down, and we are working on getting the license!"

“But the European distribution rights were sold for 210 million euros. MK2’s offer was quite high, which shows that they are quite optimistic about my film!”

"so tall?"

Guo Xun was also very familiar with the prices of some award-winning art films, because he had checked them while watching the films before.

The highest-selling one in Europe right now is Chief Jia.

The 06 film "The Good Man in the Gorge" sold more than 4000 million RMB and was won by MK2 before it won the Golden Lion.

In the end, MK2 obviously made a killing, with the film earning 170 million euros in France alone.

"Old Tian is not famous in Europe, but he is very famous in the circle!"

"They should mainly consider winning awards. MK2 will make a lot of money again..."

Chen Jin's goal was to let MK2 win the prize, so he didn't compare the quotes from many angles.

But Chinese-language award-winning films can only be sold at this price. Even if you sell them at film festivals in different regions, they may not be able to be sold.

"I saw on the news that several Chinese-language films are going to be nominated for awards. Is this the last year for Lao Ma to go all out?"

Guo Xun was laughing secretly, and Chen Jin had actually seen the related news.

"I don't know. Beijing Film Academy will help me contact them!"

"After I'm shortlisted, I'll go to Europe and do some good PR!"

"That's coming soon. This year, the Venice Film Festival will be held in late August. It might clash with the Huabiao Awards!"

As soon as Guo Xun said this, Chen Jin quickly took out his cell phone.

"Depend on!"

Chen Jin was really shocked, but luckily the Huabiao Awards was on the 28th and Venice opened on the 31st, so they could make it in time. It was just that the trip would be a bit tiring, so they had to let Lao Tian take Zhao Jinmai and the others there first.

Chen Jin hurriedly sent a message to his assistant Wang Yuanyuan, asking her to book her ticket in the next few days.

Lao Tian and Zhao Jinmai are not participating in the Huabiao Awards, so they can set off early.

……

Ten days later, Chen Jin's last scene.

“I said, my life is a building that can only be built once!”

“So I can’t afford to make mistakes!”

Chen Jin was wearing a vest, standing there in a somewhat decadent manner, looking at Zhu Yanmanzi with wet hair in front of her, tears welled up in her eyes: "Not even one centimeter!"

His voice was a little sobbing, but his expression seemed very calm.

"So you haven't realized it until now?"

Zhu Yanmanzi raised her head and looked straight at Chen Jin. Her fair and pretty face was also full of tears, but her expression was full of questioning. She clutched her wet denim jacket until her knuckles turned blue, and her watery almond eyes were misty.

At this moment, all the suppressed emotions suddenly burst out from this thin and slender girl's body: "Correct your one centimeter error in time?"

"Study abroad on a government scholarship?"

Zhu Yanmanzi laughed loudly, but her tears became hotter.

"The person I like is indeed the most promising one!"

She laughed at herself, paused, and then suddenly raised her head, staring at the man in front of her: "But I don't understand, our future cannot coexist, right?"

Every word he spoke was choked with sobs and filled with tears.

bang bang bang!
The drum of the old-fashioned washing machine made a dull hum behind her. The steaming water vapor condensed on the tips of her trembling eyelashes, and the water droplets that were about to fall reflected the broken light.

"..."

When Chen Jin finally looked up, he pursed his lips into a straight line and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a word.

Zhu Yanmanzi immediately turned her face away, letting her tears continue to fall. The stubborn girl bit her lower lip, her nose wrinkled into a hard arc, and she only asked in a low voice: "I have never been in your future blueprint?"

A soft question, but no answer.

"say something?"

"is not it?"

The girl wiped away the tears from her eyes and spoke the words clearly: "A Zheng, give me an explanation. You can say anything. Just say that you had no choice and that you did it for my own good!"

"I accept whatever you say!"

Zhu Yanmanzi could no longer hold back her emotions. She pulled at Chen Jin's sleeve and burst into tears.

She thought of countless possibilities, but the boy she loved so much did this, which made her feel gloomy.

"Zheng Wei!"

Chen Jin's body was shaking like a walking corpse.

Her voice was a little hoarse, her face was covered with tears, her eyes were empty and dull, and she managed to pull out a smile: "One day you will understand that people must first love themselves!"

"I'm used to being poor and humble. I can't let the girl I love suffer with me!"

"Why do you think you'll suffer if you stay with me?"

"Why didn't you even ask me?"

The voice suddenly became sharp and high-pitched. The tears on Zhu Yanmanzi's face had dried up, and his expression was full of disappointment and sorrow: "Maybe I am willing to suffer with you--"

"But I don't want to!"

Chen Jin roared loudly.

This frightened everyone, including Zhu Yanmanzi in front of him.

Fortunately, the camera was aimed at Chen Jin.

His teeth were chattering, his lips were opening and closing, his whole body was shaking, his eyes were red and tears were streaming, but he subconsciously took a step back and opened his mouth to gasp.

The next second, he seemed to have thought of something and broke down crying.

"So, the aquarium is your breakup gift to me, right?"

"..."

Chen Jin held his head and sat down on the ground in pain, crying with his head buried in his chest.

"Haha, Chen Xiaozheng!"

"This is the first time I see you cry for me!"

"It's really a thousand-year-old iron tree that has finally blossomed!"

“But I’m the one who should be crying…”

"It's me!"

Zhu Yanmanzi staggered a little, wiped his face with his sleeve, and walked out of the laundry room step by step. He was completely dispirited. At this time, Chen Jin raised his head and stretched out his hand slightly, trying to keep him, but in the end, he smashed his fist hard on the ground.

Bang bang bang!
Punch after punch.

Chen Jin was venting there, and finally his legs could no longer support his body. He knelt there, covering his face with his bloody hands, and bloody tears continued to flow out from between his fingers.

Her shoulders were heaving violently, and every sob seemed like she was using up all her strength, but she was still unable to calm the pain in her heart... Even though she was crying so hard, there was still no sound, only low and suppressed.

"cut!"

Guo Xun shouted.

"Xiao Wang, hurry up and get the iodine and gauze!"

He said to Chen Jin's assistant, but stretched out his hand to say hello: "Call it a day, wrap up!"

Damn, what a drama maniac.

This kind of youth drama is filmed in such a self-destructive way, but Guo Xun had to admit that the final breakup scene was really painful to shoot.

Both Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi immersed themselves in their roles, just like a real breakup.

Both of them were in pain. After they walked out, Zhu Yanmanzi also knelt on the ground, staring straight ahead with lifeless eyes.

Wang Yuanyuan was already holding gauze and iodine, and was disinfecting Chen Jin's bleeding hand.

"Sigh~~"

Chen Jin finally reacted and shuddered. The pain of the iodine-soaked wound on his hand brought him back to his senses.

"never mind!"

He said to Wang Yuanyuan, then walked out of the set, looking at Zhu Yanmanzi who was sitting there and no one dared to approach, and said softly: "How is it, are you okay?"

With a cry, Zhu Yanmanzi stood up, hugged Chen Jin, and started crying again.

This time it's even sadder than the last time I performed it.

"Okay, okay, I was just filming..."

Chen Jin continued to hold her and comfort her. The girl in his arms curled up into a ball, like a wounded little animal, and kept shaking.

The crew members quickly pretended not to see it and turned around to do their own things.

Nazha watched helplessly and sighed slightly.

Her face was also soaked with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen like two ripe cherries.

She also cried hard when watching the breakup scene just now.

Why would two people who love each other so much break up?
"Am I in your blueprint?"

Zhu Yanmanzi suddenly raised her head at this moment, her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were empty and confused, as if she had lost her soul, and she looked at Chen Jin with tears in her eyes.

"What do you say?"

Chen Jin scratched her nose: "Do you want me to hold you up?"

He knew that Zhu Yanmanzi had already walked out of the play, but her body had not yet adapted.

"Ok!"

For the first time, the girlfriend showed a girlish look, hummed softly, and leaned on Chen Jin's chest.

Listening to her strong heartbeat, I slowly detached myself from the role.

Chen Jin had no choice but to pick her up, and Zhu Yanmanzi hung on him like a koala, and the two of them walked out openly from everyone's sight.

"Just pamper her!"

"Damn it... Love Saint!"

Guo Xun couldn't help but sigh that Chen Jin was really good with women. He usually ignored Xiao Zhu, but treated her very well during filming.

It was as if the person in the play was his girlfriend.

Guli Nazha’s feelings are completely opposite to Guo Xun’s.

She felt that Zhu Yanmanzi looked cold and aloof at ordinary times, but when filming, she seemed like a completely different person, emitting a particularly charming and unique charm from head to toe.

That seems to be another kind of beauty bestowed by the performance.

Not only Chen Jin, but she also felt that she was attracted to Zhu Yanmanzi.

She is even more beautiful in the play.

Maybe, this is why Brother Jin likes her so much!
Anyway, Zhu Yanmanzi is much richer when filming than in real life.

“When will I be able to do this?”

Nazha girl held her chin with her hand, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, looking very melancholy!
