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

Chapter 274 An invitation from the boss!
"I'm the heroine of a box office champion after all, and you want me to play a singing girl?"

"It's okay to be a singing girl, but the male lead is a 65-year-old man, and I have to have a sex scene with him. I won't serve you anymore!"

"that's all……"

"..."

Wan Qian was quite temperamental, and the confidence might have come from Chen Jin. She told him about the falling out with the company.

This 65-year-old old man is none other than Qin Han, the most popular handsome boy in Southeast Asia and the idol of countless female stars.

You have to know that this man is the man that even the most beautiful woman in Southeast Asia, Lin Qingxia, threw herself into his arms and loved him to death!
Unfortunately, no matter how handsome the male and female stars were back then, they cannot resist the passage of time in the slightest.

He is indeed an old man.

"So, please give me a hug and comfort me, and please sign me when the contract expires soon~~~"

Wan Qian pretended to look at Chen Jin pitifully again, and Chen Jin smiled and shook his head: "Okay, there's still half a year left, just bear with it!"

"I can't stand it. If it weren't for my agent being nice to me, I would have flipped the table long ago!"

Well, if you dared to do this in the original timeline.

I acted in several movies, all of which were prostitutes.

But to be honest, Chen Jin has seen the promotional video for her future autobiographical movie. Wan Qian's costume look in "Liu Rushi" is indeed stunning, and this role is also her first out-of-the-box work.

Men know everything.

Whenever I see such a beautiful and unfamiliar actress in a movie, I always have to subconsciously look her up.

If nothing unexpected happens, her agency should have let her star in this movie.

Liu Rushi, the leader of the Eight Wonders of Qinhuai, cannot be controlled without some beauty.

But I didn’t expect that even though Wan Qian is so famous now, she still can’t escape the control of fate.

Some things are indeed destined.

Since the investors of "Liu Rushi" have a background in Taiwan and are very familiar with Qiong Yao, the leading female role must be Wan Qian.

"Your cold treatment is not a solution. What if I don't let you terminate the contract?"

"If I accept this role, they will most likely not terminate my contract!"

Wan Qian sighed helplessly. What she said was true.

After starring in a hit drama, there is a high possibility that Wan Qian will become famous. No matter which agency you change to, they will not terminate the contract easily. Unless your fame is big enough to influence public opinion, the company will also part ways with you amicably.

But more often than not, those who are not that famous yet but have great potential to become famous will be the ones whose companies will argue with you.

Of course, at the beginning, we will make concessions on profit sharing, or at the very least, we will open a studio for you. If you still want to leave, I'm sorry, the company will take some unnecessary measures.

Knowing they can’t keep you, they will either earn liquidated damages to disgust you and force you to terminate the contract early, or they will threaten you with the details of the contract, and you will have to pay up in the end.

Many times, this is often paid by the downstream agency.

In other words, if Chen Jin wants to sign Wan Qian, he will have to pay a fee. Not to mention that Chen Jin agrees to pay it, Wan Qian herself is unwilling to do so.

Because this crappy company basically never helped her with anything, the only time was because of Chen Jin's help.

But in less than a year, she has helped the company earn tens of millions in commercial performances and advertising endorsements!
Wan Qian felt that she had done her best.

But Chuang Yi is definitely not satisfied.

"Go to court!"

“100% victory!”

Chen Jin directly chose the most extreme method.

But many artists are reluctant to face a falling out, as it will have a huge impact on their image and career, and it is easy to offend people.

The worst thing is that the next agency suddenly refused to sign me.

In the end, you have worked in vain, you are not accepted by everyone, and you are boycotted by the entire industry. There may never be anyone like you in the world again.

Many audiences sometimes suddenly miss a certain actor, hey, I haven’t seen this star acting for a long time.

Yes, that's being abandoned.

"Can I trust you?"

Wan Qian suddenly raised her head and glanced at Chen Jin. She was not the kind of 20-year-old girl who would throw herself into the arms of a man just because he talked her into it.

Although Chen Jin said he wanted to sign her, Wan Qian didn't dare to take the risk as it was related to her own career.

If Chen Jin refuses to sign, her acting career will be ruined.

Not every agency is willing to offend its peers.

"When your contract expires, come directly to my company and I will let the legal department take charge of the connection!"

Her mainland colleague Chen Jin might give her some face, but as for Qiong Yao... her company will become less and less visible in the future.

Chen Jin didn't take it to heart.

"it is good!"

With these words, Wan Qian felt more confident.

She glanced at Chen Jin with a smile, and suddenly said to Zhu Yanmanzi coquettishly: "Xiao Zhu, your boyfriend is so good to me, how can I thank him?"

"You can thank me however you want, since you played a couple!"

Zhu Yanmanzi said this calmly, but Wan Qian was a little unsure. She laughed and waved her hand: "Haha, just kidding, I won't snatch it from you~~~"

"I'll ask my agent to add you in a few days, and she will be in charge of the company's brokerage business from now on!"

"You can tell her anything!"

Chen Jin said to Wan Qian.

Chen Jin obviously believed in Boss Wan's business ability.

In the future, whether she is filming a movie or appearing on a variety show, she is indeed very profitable. She is the kind of female artist who has a long blooming period and does not make trouble. "The Third Master is here!"

"Third Master!"

The sudden noise around made Chen Jin and others who were chatting stand up.

Although they were in the waiting area of DIOR, there were chairs to rest, but there was not enough space for hundreds of people, so some of them stayed in their cars; they had to wait for a while before walking on the red carpet before they came here one by one to wait for the show to start.

But since Lao Mouzi came, Chen Jin followed him.

He had just been chatting with Huo Jianqi and a few other people, during which several directors from the Hong Kong circle, including Wu Yusen and Li Rengang, also came over.

It is obvious that he is much more lively around than Chen Jin. Although Chen Jin is famous, he is definitely not as famous as Zhang Yimou. Moreover, Chen Jin has only been in this circle for a short time and has few friends. No one takes the initiative to talk to him.

In addition to Zhang Weiping's incident, even though Chen Jin became popular again with "The Founding of a Party", few people came to talk to her.

Zhang Yimou is a little different. Even though he seems to be down and out and has no backing, and Hua Yi laughs at him in his heart, but he is the imperial teacher, so he still has to be given some face.

"sit down!"

Han Sanpin waved to the people who stood up and began to chat enthusiastically.

Of course, he did not come alone, he was accompanied by Huang Jianxin, Tang Guoqiang and other members of the "Founding of a Republic" team.

After chatting for a while, he walked in front of Zhang Yimou and the others, and finally said to Chen Jin: "Are you sure your film will be released on the 15th?"

He whispered in Chen Jin's ear.

"Well, what happened? The Venice awards ceremony just ended!"

"How about a week earlier? On the 8th? Preheating?"

September 9th was a date that Chen Jin and Tian Zhuangzhuang thought about for a long time. If the film won an award, it would definitely be better than the 15th; if it was released on the 8th, not only would it be too hasty, but the box office in the first few days would not be ideal.

But on the 15th, it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the popularity of the Venice Awards Ceremony to start pre-sales and marketing, or at least start previews in advance to let word of mouth spread.

Chen Jin is still confident about "Life Events".

This movie is probably the best one he has made so far, even surpassing "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

The current Douban score of "The Hawthorn Tree" is 7.8, and the Mtime score is 7.9.

Chen Jin thinks that "Life Events" can score over 8, and 8.5 is possible if it performs well; and Tian Zhuangzhuang has already conducted a small-scale screening of the film, inviting some professionals and students from the directing department to watch the film, and the feedback was very positive.

So for this movie, Chen Jin feels that the probability of winning an award is very high.

Even if he doesn't win the Best Actor award, the film will still get an award, after all, there are so many public relations involved.

"There are two big movies coming out on the 23rd and 28th. They have been scheduled for a long time!"

"Not to mention the National Day holiday!"

Han Sanpin talked about a few movies in a low voice, then patted Chen Jin on the shoulder and walked away.

"The Revolution of 1911"!
It is also a 90th anniversary tribute film, starring Cheng Long and directed by Zhang Li.

This time, Cheng Long also came to the Huabiao Awards.

On the 28th, "Legend of White Snake", a film starring Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li, is released, and it is of course aimed at the National Day holiday; this year's National Day holiday is 7 days!
A small Spring Festival period.

There is also "Painted Wall", the sequel to "Painted Skin". In 08, "Painted Skin" earned 2.32 million yuan at the box office. Three years have passed, and it still has a certain box office appeal.

Only Han Sanpin didn't say anything else.

But if these three films were released during the National Day, they would have to take at least 90% of the screenings in total. Unless "Life Events" is a big hit, perhaps it can get 10%+ of the screenings during the National Day, otherwise they will be cannon fodder.

Old Han still considered Chen Jin a lot, but Chen Jin's art film really didn't intend to compete with these three.

It's okay to eat some small pieces and take a long walk!
So Chen Jin didn’t actually take this matter to heart. Mainly, these three films... emmm, they were all bad movies. "The Revolution of 1911" was slightly better, but the main theme movie didn’t explode at the box office. Anyway, Chen Jin didn’t see it on the list.

If a film fails to make it into the annual box office ranking, it will be eliminated.

The other two are super bad!
“It’s not like there’s no chance!”

“If Life Events gets a high rating, it might have a certain promoting effect?”

During the National Day holiday, the audience watched several crappy movies. If they find a good one, they will definitely watch it in disguise.

But the schedule on the 15th is a bit advanced.

If 23 might be able to compete, 15th has already been released for half a month, and there is no way it can be a rival to the other three.

Chen Jin smiled, but saw a familiar figure again.

Jiang Zhiqiang.

He invested part of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" and Gu Changwei's "The Best Friend". Lao Jiang invests in many movies every year, especially Zhang Yimou, with whom he has collaborated on many films.

Although Zhang Yimou understood the withdrawal of investment in "Jinling" this time, he definitely still had some thoughts.

So after Jiang Zhiqiang talked with his friends in the Hong Kong circle, he rushed to Zhang Yimou.

The two were talking there, and a staff member came in, clapped his hands and said, "Dear teachers, the red carpet is about to begin!"

"Teacher Ge Cunzhuang, Teacher Xie Fei, you get to be first!"

This old artist and senior in the director circle was the first to walk the red carpet; Ge Cunzhuang's son Ge You was also nominated for Best Actor. Both father and son are rare in the circle with great acting skills.

The opening and closing guests are both heavyweight guests.

As some veteran artists came on stage, things started to get boring, with all those science and education films, opera films... There were a lot of nominated awards for this year's Huabiao Awards, and a lot of stars participating, so we had to wait until all these people had left before it was the turn of the heavyweight guests to appear.

Chen Jin and his group are not considered heavy hitters, but they are among the last few groups in line and will probably have to wait for about an hour.

The nominated crews walked out one by one, and the stars who were originally in the car also came in one after another.

Of course they saw Zhang Yimou, Chen Jin and others, and they all bowed politely and greeted them.

Several generations of Zhang Yimou's girls walked towards Zhang Yimou, including Dong Jie, Zhang Ziyi who was promoting "The Grandmaster", and the King of Sunglasses also came for the first time... Of course, this guy was still wearing sunglasses to show off as always.

Jiang Zhiqiang, however, saw that Zhang Yimou was surrounded by people and took a few steps to the side. When he saw Chen Jin, he suddenly thought of something and asked directly, "Chen Jin, do you have a schedule at the end of the year?"
