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

Chapter 272 Goodbye Lao Mouzi, the legendary "Lao Meng"!
In the evening, wrap up the banquet.

The entire crew has gathered, including several actors who played supporting roles in the imperial capital, and they have all rushed over.

Give Chen Jin a lot of face.

The purpose of the wrap-up banquet, of course, is mainly to thank all the crew members for their hard work and dedication, and it has a certain celebratory meaning; however, unlike other crews with separate private rooms with distinct feudal hierarchies, the entire "So Young" crew and actors all sat in one lobby.

The atmosphere was quite lively.

There is no so-called drinking culture. The main focus is on being happy and casual, and everyone enjoys drinking very much.

"The Founding of a Party has broken box office records. Should we also hold a celebration party?"

Guo Xun sat next to Chen Jin and asked.

"I don't know, there is no notification yet!"

Chen Jin was drinking a drink and people came to toast him from time to time.

A very beautiful girl came into view, walking towards him with a dimpled smile on her face.

Chen Jin also smiled at her, stood up and raised his glass.

Although Tong Liya only had two days of scenes, she was invited. She raised her cup, lowered her body slightly, and toasted Chen Jin: "Brother Jin, I hope we can have a chance to work together again next time!"

"Sister Yaya, you're welcome!"

Chen Jin was not a pushy person, so the two of them took a sip and sat down.

The character played by Tong Liya has a small amount of rivalry with the second male lead Lin Genxin, but Chen Jin does not, but the two talked about it during the filming.

It was the first time that the three girls from Xinjiang Province in the crew met each other, and they seemed very friendly to each other.

"Have you accepted any new roles?"

Chen Jin asked casually.

"Well, there's a senior who's filming a new movie. I'm going to audition for him in a few days!"

Tong Liya said it casually, but Chen Jin smiled slightly: "Senior? Are you a director of the Central Academy of Drama?"

"No, he's also from the acting department, Chen Sicheng, do you know him?"

"know!"

It can be basically confirmed that it is "Beijing Love Story"!
This guy Chen Sicheng is actually quite talented. Chen Jin has seen a lot of news about him in his future autobiographical movie; and his future "Detective Chinatown" series will rank high in film history.

"I've seen him in the movie 'Soldier Assault', what a talent!"

"Yes, that's him!"

Tong Liya smiled and had nothing to hide: "This time it's the same original cast, a romantic version of "Soldier Assault", they wrote the book together!"

She probably didn't know that the role she was auditioning for was the female lead.

Because of this script, while Chen Gou was filming, he was replaced by the female lead.

It was originally a script he wrote himself, although the first version came from a short story "Invincible" written on the blog of Li Chen, who loved to give heart-shaped stones. But after several people discussed it, Chen Sicheng finally started writing and completed the first draft of "Northern Love".

The copyright belongs to him.

Because of this, the brothers in "Soldier Assault" broke up.

Chen Gou also fell in love with Tong Liya during the filming, and he began to add more scenes for her, eventually pushing her to the level of the heroine. He also wrote a bloody scene in which two brothers competed for the leading female role and their first love.

In the following years, Zhang Yi's role as Shi Xiaomeng, the male supporting character whose first love was taken away, became one of the most pitiful TV characters in the hearts of netizens.

Zhang Yi was depressed for a long time because of this role.

It's really pitiful that the childhood sweetheart, who had been in love for so many years, was stolen away by a playboy.

He was criticized by netizens for having extremely distorted values, but the key point is that this playboy is still the leading man.

Chen Sicheng has been scolded for many years and is especially unpopular among women. It is not without reason, it is because of this.

Reality is reality, it won’t be good if you film it.

Many materialistic women have their defenses broken.

But obviously the significance of realistic literature is to allow film and television works to reflect reality. It can only be said that Chen Sicheng is still too ahead of the times.

This guy will be one of the few people in the future who understands users’ movie-watching needs.

Very forward-looking in the commercialization of movies.

Whether it is an investment or one of his own works, they all meet the public's viewing threshold, so hits are frequently produced.

If there is a chance, Chen Jin still wants to talk to the other party.

Make money, not shabby.

Chen Jin still wanted to recruit him under his command.

The "Detective Chinatown" series alone is worth it; according to the original timeline, "Detective Chinatown 3" could have broken the record in Chinese film history, but unfortunately its reputation collapsed.

Otherwise, even if you can’t reach 80 billion, you can still reach billion.

As long as it maintains the level of "Detective Chinatown 2", it can be achieved; if it is comparable to "Detective Chinatown 1", it will definitely be 80 billion+!

"Have you found investors for this drama?"

Chen Jin obviously doesn't have the money to invest in other things, but that doesn't mean he can't ask.

"I don't know, but I think it should be there?"

"If I win the audition, I'll ask for you!"

Tong Liya smiled, revealing two shallow dimples; it was a pity that the flowering season was too short, and Yaya was only very strong in the past two years.

"Northern Ireland" is definitely the highlight of her beauty.

"It's okay, I just asked casually!"

Chen Jin is foreshadowing the future "Northern Love" movie.

The TV series "Beijing Film Academy" became popular, and Chen Gou wanted to make a movie version, but the original investor seemed to have no confidence and withdrew.

This is a good time to get in.

Chen Jin is confident that he can make a fortune by making a spin-off of the Broken Heart series, "Broken Heart Spin: Northern Love".

All movies these days can be based on this IP.

After all, love movies are nothing more than about falling in love and breaking up, and breakup is the mainstream theme.

The two chatted for a while, and Tong Liya returned to her seat.

Many more people came up to chat, and the wrap-up banquet lasted until the early morning. Everyone dispersed, some of them were drunk.

After Chen Jin said goodbye to everyone, he first sent Zhu Yanmanzi home before driving towards his own home.

"Next, there's nothing to worry about!"

“I have to think carefully about next year’s work!”

In addition to his daily exercise routine, Chen Jin has been looking through the synopsis of various films that he plans to watch in the future.

He wants to ensure that his next box office appeal is enhanced.

Every film made at least has its meaning, and is not just for the purpose of making money.

Continuing to strive for the three major films is the basis for winning awards to enhance his achievements; by the way, breaking the mainland box office records time and time again, but at the same time greatly increasing his influence, this is the film he will make next.

Just like Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2", Shen Teng's "Charlotte's Troubles", Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown"... Chen Jin also has to come up with a hit film, and this film must have his strong personal characteristics so that the audience will remember it vividly.

The movie fits the actors very well and they are closely linked.

"Monster Hunt", a movie that seemed to break various records in Chinese-language films and took in more than 20 billion yuan at the box office, was completely useless.

The hero and heroine didn’t ascend to heaven at all!

The same goes for "The Mermaid", which bears the imprint of Stephen Chow.

Chen Jin has participated in the production of several films, and he actually has some personal experience in directing films. He is actually ambitious and wants to use the system experience to write, direct and act in one of his own films.

Similar to Wolf Warrior.

In fact, he has a huge advantage over other new directors, which is that he has finished films to learn from and has experience over and over again.

Editing, music composition, etc. are not a problem for him.

The main problem is the immaturity of the director.

Actually, you don’t need to worry too much about this. Just find an experienced director to assist you.

Therefore, Chen Jin’s new works must be carefully selected.

And there is no need to limit ourselves to Chinese-language films. Future Hollywood blockbusters can also be adapted for localization.

The main thing is to become famous overnight.

It's not a special effects blockbuster yet. Special effects in China are just starting out, and foreigners are very bad at it. Chen Jin can only benefit from it if Guo Xun builds the system.

The whole night was spent in Chen Jin's training and system analysis.

……

Two days later, the biennial Huabiao Awards ceremony will be held.

Early in the morning, Chen Jin received a call from Pu Lun.

Although Chen Jin refuses to endorse products now, when she attends such important occasions, there will still be a lot of cooperation from various sponsors, such as customized suits and accessories.

"Xiao Jin, will you join us?"

Pu Lun asked.

Chen Jin thought about it and nodded: "Well, I'll pick up Xiao Zhu and come to see you later!" "Yes, if you walk the red carpet with your crew, it will be embarrassing for "The Hawthorn Tree"!"

There are only two leading actors, Li Xuejian and Xi Meijuan, unlike "Love Is Not Blind", which has Chen Jin, as well as Wan Qian and others.

There are more characters in "Love is Not Blind" than in "The Hawthorn Tree".

Walking the red carpet is also a science.

Even though "Love Is Not Blind" is Chen Jin's work, Lao Zhang's is obviously more cost-effective.

As a big director with high traffic and popularity, he can't be left out, otherwise the media might make sarcastic remarks again; writing about Zhang Yimou losing power and being abandoned by Zhang Yimou.

Chen Jin knew the faces of these guys very well.

"Then I'll ask the organizer for a room, and we'll meet at the hotel!"

"I'll ask the makeup artist and brand to wait for you in the hotel!"

Since the filming of "Jinling" was completed, the two have not met each other, including Pang Liwei, Zhang Yimou and others.

This time, the Huabiao Awards was held at the Imperial Capital Exhibition Hall, formerly the Soviet Exhibition Hall built in October 1954 and renamed in 10.

Although it is an exhibition hall, it is actually very large. It is the first large-scale comprehensive exhibition center in China.

In addition to the exhibition, there are four business units in the venue, including the Moscow Restaurant, the Grand Theater and the Hotel. Many films choose to have their world premieres here, such as "Aftershock", "A World Without Thieves", and the future "The Wandering Earth 2".

This place is very familiar to filmmakers, but this is Chen Jin’s first time here.

"I read online that more than 200 celebrities attended this event, which is said to be the most grand gathering of Chinese filmmakers in history. Is it because it is to commemorate the 90th anniversary?"

Zhu Yanmanzi asked Chen Jin in the car.

"Yep!"

Chen Jin also heard what Han Sanpin said: "The main reason is that our China's annual movie box office exceeded 10 billion last year, and the industry reached 100 billion, so we called so many people!"

The publicity for this year's Huabiao Awards is said to be the most sensational in history, surpassing any other Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards. Many people who originally did not know about this award have now come to know the value of this award.

It turns out there is such an award that is as famous as the Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster Awards.

Moreover, it is being broadcast simultaneously in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Mainland, and is also being live broadcasted by several major portals such as Sina, Tencent, Golden Eagle, and video websites such as Youku and LeTV. The momentum is indeed the largest in history.

“Last year, there were more than 100 billion!”

This number really scared Zhu Yanmanzi.

"It's almost 80 billion this year, maybe it can double..."

Chen Jin checked the total box office of future autobiographical movies in 2011, which was 131 billion, but Chen Jin has completely changed the trend of the total box office.

It all started with the marketing of "Love Is Not Blind".

He brought the Internet and mobile phone ticket purchasing directly to the forefront.

A popular film can actually directly change the entire film market landscape.

For example, the sudden release of "Wolf Warrior 2" attracted countless audiences to enter the cinema for the first time, and the number of moviegoers increased from tens of millions to 1.5 million.

In terms of box office versus admissions, filmmakers prefer the latter.

Because the number of people is the real thing.

This has enabled domestic films, which originally seemed to have a barrier of 30 billion yuan, to suddenly reach the 30 billion to 50 billion yuan mark and continue to rise.

Before Wolf Warrior 17 in 2, the record was The Mermaid with over 33 billion. Many people felt that a movie with a box office of 30 billion was already exaggerated in such a short period of time; but after Wolf Warrior 2, domestic blockbusters with a box office of 30 billion have become the norm.

In 18, three movies directly broke the 30 billion mark, which is the result of the increase in the number of moviegoers triggered by Wolf Warrior 2.

In the future, "Nezha 2" will reach 150 billion, which will enhance its international influence and actually bring Chinese films to the 80 billion range. In the future, there will definitely be more movies that will reach 90 billion, or even 100 billion or billion.

They cannot break the record of "Nezha 2", but because of the increase in the total number of people, the overall scale of the movie-watching group has been expanded.

So the rhetoric about big movies draining the market is all bullshit.

In fact, everyone in this circle understands that the emergence of a phenomenal blockbuster is absolutely beneficial to the entire Chinese film industry.

3 million moviegoers, what does this mean?
Currently, there is only one movie in the world that has reached 1 million viewers.

"Afadada"!
Even Titanic, the second-best movie in global film history with a box office of $23 billion, did not have 3 million people going to the cinema.

Yes, the global population has not reached 3 million.

Because movie tickets in America and Europe are expensive.

Unlike in China, after converting the exchange rate, it’s actually just a few dollars per coin.

In the future, the Chinese single market can reach 3 million people, which is the rhythm of one country taking on the world alone.

It is also a movie-watching group that makes Hollywood tremble.

If it weren't for the exchange rate, "Nezha 2" might have topped the global market in a single market.

Now, the more than 33 million yuan of "Love Is Not Blind" has also raised the total box office in the original timeline, which had just broken the record of 8 billion yuan last year, to 100 billion yuan. The extra 115 billion yuan is the contribution of "Love Is Not Blind".

The 80 billion reached in the first half of this year was also due to the impact of this incident.

Purchasing tickets via mobile phones and the internet has doubled the number of moviegoers, and it is the cinemas that have not kept up.

Cinemas cannot keep up with the number of moviegoers, so all over the country are desperately building and adding screens.

If Chen Jin had money, he would actually like to invest in a few companies.

Build some IMAX theaters, and when "The Wandering Earth" is released, it can be used as a promotional feature.

Guaranteed profit.

Currently, there are still quite few IMAX theaters in China.

There are only three in the capital, two of which are not open to the public, one is a film museum and the other is a science and technology museum.

……

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
Chen Jin knocked on Pu Lunfa's hotel room door.

"coming!"

Chen Jin heard Pu Lun's voice, and the next second the door opened. Chen Jin saw his agent who had gained a little weight.

"Sister Pu Lun, long time no see!"

"Sister Pu Lun——"

Zhu Yanmanzi also shouted.

"Hey, let me see my big star!"

“Looks handsome again!”

Pu Lun laughed loudly and hugged Chen Jin tightly. Then he took Zhu Yanmanzi's hand and said, "Wow, Xiao Zhu has become beautiful too!"

"Sister, have you had a good meal recently~~~"

Chen Jin teased, and was hit twice by Pu Lun: "It's because you study every day and eat too well!"

"Is it Chen Jin?"

Lao Mouzi's iconic voice sounded, and Chen Jin called out respectfully, "Director Zhang!"

"Hahaha, I knew it was you, kid!"

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in!"

Zhang Yimou waved at Chen Jin, and Chen Jin walked into the suite, only to see a strange foreigner sitting there.

Zhang Mo leaned against him, looking very intimate.

"Sister Mo, why don't you introduce yourself to me?"

Chen Jin winked at Zhang Mo, but the foreigner stood up and extended his hand to Chen Jin with a smile: "Hello, Chen Jin!"

Speaks very fluent Chinese.

"Lao Meng, my boyfriend!"

Zhang Mo pointed at the foreigner, and Chen Jin hurriedly shook his hand: "Hello, hello, Mr. Meng!"

This guy actually knows me?

"Haha, just call me Lao Meng, that's what everyone calls me!"

"this is my name card!"

Lao Meng handed an English business card to Chen Jin. Chen Jin took it politely and blinked when he saw the English name and Chinese characters on it.

CAA Innovation China agent, Meng Danqing.

"Ok?"

Chen Jin raised his head suddenly and knew who Lao Meng was.

Damn, I searched everywhere for it but couldn’t find it, now it’s mine without any effort.

Just now Chen Jin was still thinking about investing in IMAX cinemas, and the future CEO of IMAX China just appeared like this?
Is there such a coincidence?

"what happened?"

Zhang Mo couldn't help but wonder when she saw Chen Jin looking up at her boyfriend.

"Nothing, just a little surprised to see CAA!"

The world's number one brokerage company is also very domineering!
