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

Chapter 288 is so exciting! I experienced 3 movies at once!
Ding!
[The host's works continue to gain popularity and have gained a certain degree of fame in China. A good actor must have corresponding awards and certifications! ]

Mission: Try to win an award that is highly recognized by the industry! (Completed)
[Congratulations to the host, you have received a reward - a specific character experience card! ]

Ding!
[You have become a well-known actor in the industry. Try to hone your acting skills and win the highest award for domestic actors! ]

Mission: Try to win the nationally recognized Best Actor award!
"no?"

Chen Jin was amused by the tasks of this system.

The Venice Film Festival Best Actor award is indeed a wild award, and it does not accomplish the task at all.

It also has to be a national award.

National awards are more important than anything else, right?
Strictly speaking, this is indeed the case.

"Does the Golden Rooster count as national recognition?"

The next most likely award should be the Golden Rooster Award; the nominations should be announced in the next few days. Anyway, "The Founding of a Party", "Love Is Not Blind" and "Life Events" have all submitted applications for the nomination.

In fact, "The Hawthorn Tree" also participated, but it is unlikely to be shortlisted.

The last time the company was nominated for the Huabiao Awards, it was thanks to Han Sanpin's reputation; but the Golden Rooster Award is a film award jointly sponsored by the China Film Association and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, so it would be difficult for the Film Bureau to intervene.

It's not that I can't do anything about it, but I just can't bring myself to say hello for something like this.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, this movie will probably be treated coldly in the future.

The reason why it has not been removed from the shelves is because Zhang Weiping is the person behind the scenes; if Chen Jin or Zhu Yanmanzi’s reputation were to fall, that would be a big deal.

“5 experience cards!”

Chen Jin looked at the five extremely shining cards on the system interface and it was time to use the blade.

He had previously studied the library of films that Chen Jin would watch in the future, and selected "John Wick" to be his next record-breaking commercial film.

But this movie has never been released in the country, so it’s hard to say how it will perform at the box office.

As for movies like "Wolf Warrior", Chen Jin doesn't plan to shoot them himself.

China's film industry definitely needs more commercial masterpieces to fill in and enhance cultural output; if Chen Jin plagiarized this movie, even if the box office is higher than the original timeline, it actually doesn't mean much.

It would be better to invest in Master Wu.

The same is true for "Nezha 2".

What Chen Jin wants to do now is to take some overseas films and turn them into his own films. This way, the two will grow while others will decline, and this is called expanding industrialization.

Therefore, Chen Jin never thought of claiming some of the phenomenal domestic movies as his own.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, if CETC continues to develop in this way, he can invest.

The reason why Chen Jin chose "John Wick" is because he feels that this movie is good in terms of reputation and box office in his future autobiographical movies, and Chen Jin has watched every one of them in the future.

Chen Jin's next plan is to make a good fighting action movie to broaden his own track.

He does not need to think too much about his acting skills at the moment. Winning the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival is already the most powerful proof of his performance. Although in the next few years, Chen Jin should still shoot at least two films a year, one for awards and one for box office success.

One Venice Film Festival Best Actor award may not be enough, the more Best Actor trophies the better.

The box office is the most direct reflection of an actor's achievements, personal influence and appeal.

In fact, both are indispensable to Chen Jin.

Moreover, the achievements of the system also require Chen Jin to improve in all aspects.

After winning the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award, combined with his previous box office success, Chen Jin can elevate the four basic attributes of an actor to the highest level.

Chen Jin's performance at the Spring Festival Gala can be described as perfect, as her [line delivery skills] have been improved to a high level.

The level of dialogue delivered by many veteran actors now is not as strong as Chen Jin’s.

Looking at the remaining three items that had not been upgraded, sound, performance and body shape, Chen Jin finally put all his achievement points into body shape.

Action is actually a kind of form.

[Body Skills]: Great (1001/10000), able to enter the physical world of any object, weight loss, weight gain, etc. can be effectively controlled, and any detail control can be presented in a subtle state.

"Fuck, so fierce?"

Chen Jin only felt that there seemed to be countless theories and knowledge about body shape in his brain, and he even knew many different sleeping positions.

For the sake of camera sense, every move can become art.

This is the highest level of physical technique.

When Chen Jin first watched the back view of Ken Takakura in "A One Man's Journey", he was really impressed by the language and power of the camera; standing there, gazing into the distance, there were endless thoughts and sorrows, and the performances of several back views in the movie all expressed different meanings.

This is how the body is presented in the movie. Even without lines or performances, it can make the audience feel the fluctuations of emotions.

And now, Chen Jin should be able to do it too.

"Bell is always losing weight and gaining weight, which can be considered a form of body shape, but that guy probably takes medicine..."

Chen Jin now has scientific and fast weight gain and weight loss techniques.

"The next time I achieve great performance and voice, I think I'll be the best actor in the world!"

The fourth dimension achievement is Chen Jin’s next goal.

As his own abilities improved, Chen Jin discovered that he had a deeper understanding of movies; he could more perfectly express everything about the character he was experiencing.

This is a bit like playing yourself and getting completely into the role.

Chen Jin played the role of the third brother in "The Hawthorn Tree" very well because he had previous experience with the role, and it seemed like he was playing his true self.

But once you are completely immersed in the role, you will be able to integrate your true self with the performance itself, and this form of performance will be even more outstanding.

Mo Sanmei in "Life Events" actually has this flavor.

Chen Jin's own performance and experience enabled her to present such an award-winning role.

"Which one do you want to try first?"

Chen Jin was browsing the movie library, not quite sure whether to choose "John Wick" for his directorial debut.

This is very risky.

The only thing we can look forward to is that it is a series of movies. If the first one is slightly successful, the second one can have a higher box office than the first one, not to mention the third one, and Wu Jing and others can be added.

The advantage of a series of movies with a stable reputation is that each one can have higher box office than the previous one.

Especially the domestic market.

"Chinatown", "Nezha" and "Wolf Warrior" are all of this kind.

The first film may have only grossed a few hundred million yuan, but after the first film went viral online, offline, and in theaters, many people were still willing to go to the cinema to support it.

Therefore, as long as the box office of the first film is good enough, Chen Jin can directly start the second film.

This kind of box office accumulation is actually a good plan.

Chen Jin expects the first film to become a hit during the Spring Festival, which may be a bit presumptuous, but there is still a chance.

"Then let's go with this one!"

Anyway, it won’t be a waste if Chen Jin uses all the five trial cards.

There is another movie competing for awards. The ones that Chen Jin is more optimistic about are "Better Days" and "Grandma's Grandson", mainly because the leading male roles in them are more suitable for him.

But "Better Days" is not conducive to the male lead winning the award because it talks about the bullying of female students.

And just like "So Young", there is an original work.

In terms of experience, it's not worth it.

"Pass!" "We'll talk about it later!"

But there is not so much worry about "Grandma's Grandson".

"Two already, choose another one!"

Chen Jin plans to keep two experience cards with him, mainly in case future tasks become more and more difficult. Then "John Wick 2" may require another experience card to experience, so he has them ready for emergencies.

For the final movie, after looking through the film library, Chen Jin prepared to give himself some rewards.

As for the experience, it must be a little exciting.

"Train to Busan"!
A zombie special effects commercial blockbuster that broke countless records.

Originally, Chen Jin considered "Snowpiercer", but after checking, he found that the project was about to be launched, so Chen Jin had to make another choice.

“Have fun and experience the thrill of a zombie movie!”

Chen Jin has confirmed three movies, let’s start with a heartwarming one.

The first one to come must be "Grandma's Grandson", which is a family ethics film that broke the box office record in Southeast Asia; but the most important thing is that it can be transformed into an award-winning movie, which tells the story of the struggle for inheritance among the elderly and social issues.

Both the Magic City and the Imperial City will face this in the future.

"I don't know if Lao Tian is interested. If he doesn't want to shoot, let Wen Muye try!"

Thinking of this, Chen Jin directly chose "Grandma's Grandson" from the film library.

***
The plane circled over the imperial capital. After more than 10 hours, Chen Jin and his party finally arrived at the imperial capital international airport.

"Are you okay?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang helped Chen Jin get off the plane. Chen Jin was waving his hands, his face pale.

"I didn't see you airsick before you came here, why is it so serious after you came back?"

"Is it the time difference?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang kept asking, so Chen Jin had no choice but to say, "Maybe..."

In fact, it’s because the experience of “Train to Busan” was too real.

After all, Chen Jin had experienced movies like "The Founding of a Party" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", but he obviously didn't expect that "Train to Busan" would still make him feel sick.

Yes, disgusting!
“The Founding of the Party” is actually not that bad, it’s just about the hardships and awakening of people’s lives.

The body and mind will be sublimated and baptized.

While "Journey to the West" is mainly about the bizarre myths and legends, "Train to Busan" is about naked hand-to-hand combat with zombies, and there are all kinds of fights.

Bloody, violent, and the sense of doomsday is very real.

So even though Chen Jin had experienced so many movies, he was still overwhelmed by the shock of this film.

He endured "John Wick" because after experiencing so many movies, his sensory threshold is very strong; but "Train to Busan" is really different, the taste of this movie is very authentic, and it is the one that gave Chen Jin the strongest stimulation after experiencing so many movies.

When he woke up, he vomited immediately, and he vomited violently in the bathroom, which alarmed the flight attendants.

So much so that I thought Chen Jin had a sudden serious illness.

After all, he was the newly crowned Venice Film Festival Film King, so he couldn't afford any mistakes. Fortunately, apart from being abnormal, Chen Jin was still conscious. After coming up with an excuse of airsickness, Chen Jin lay down.

After several hours of digestion, I finally felt a little better.

“This movie is so delicious!”

"If it really comes out and can pass the review, there's absolutely no need to worry about the box office!"

Chinese people still like to try new things.

Chen Jin may still need to worry about the box office of "John Wick", but she definitely won't have to worry about "Train to Busan", provided that the Film Bureau gives her permission.

By then, we will have to find someone or figure out how to adapt it into a domestic version.

Or, the place Chen Jin thought of was Hong Kong.

Change the background of Busan to Hong Kong.

This might make it easier to pass the review.

Of course, now is not the time to think about these things. Chen Jin has to finish the script first, and also spend time on some special effects.

The shooting doesn’t take long, but the post-production is definitely a big project.

So this movie will not be released soon. Not to mention the Spring Festival next year, it would be considered fast if it could be released during the Spring Festival in 2013.

As for the selection of the director, Chen Jin is ready to take charge himself.

Let’s practice with “John Wick” first.

The original timeline of this movie was that it was shot by a new director, and the film's director Chad had served as a stand-in for Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix" series.

He and another director David Leitch are both action director by training, and this film is their directorial debut!

"Train to Busan", also directed by a new director.

In other words, the threshold for directing these two films is not high, but it is very challenging in terms of script, action and special effects.

This is also the reason why Chen Jin chose these two movies to experience.

Because it's easy to get started with his guidance.

However, no matter how easy it is, he will probably need an assistant to guide the first part, and then Chen Jin will be more confident about the next one, whether it is "John Wick 2" or "Train to Busan".

Drop drop!
As soon as Chen Jin turned on his phone after getting off the plane, he saw countless missed calls and text messages pop up on his phone.

Chen Jin had already checked the system on the plane about the TV series that Wan Qian was going to take on.

It was the hit TV series in the "Wolf Warrior" series - "I Am a Special Forces Soldier: The Blade Comes Out" that forced Master Wu to shoot. The TV series had a very high viewership rate. If Wan Qian was auditioning for the leading female role, then this TV series would definitely be worth a try.

Chen Jin looked at the message Wan Qian left her and was about to reply when she saw a very unexpected blessing.

In English.

"Chen, congratulations on winning the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award!"

The message Bell sent more than ten hours ago.

I didn't expect that the news of my winning the Best Actor award would even alarm Hollywood superstars.

It has to be said that the awards of the three major film festivals are still very well-known.

Many Hollywood movie stars also attach great importance to this award.

"Thank you!"

"Are you still on The Dark Knight Rises?"

Chen Jin sent a message casually, but unexpectedly Bell replied very quickly, just before going to bed in the United States.

"Yes, you told me before that you would come to visit the set. Have you arranged your schedule?"

"After Double Eleven, if you are still in the crew!"

"Haha, I'll try my best..."

Two people were chatting there.

Tian Zhuangzhuang had just finished a phone call with Beijing Film Academy and patted Chen Jin on the shoulder: "Let's go, our students are waiting anxiously!"
