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

Chapter 38 Wenli Girl
"Ok?"

Chen Jin, who was bickering with Su Wanyu, was stunned and stopped and asked, "Who are you?"

"My last name is Chang, and I called your mother!"

"Are you Chen Jin's mother?"

Chang Jihong looked at Su Wanyu, and Su Wanyu hurriedly said, "Oh, hello, hello, sorry, I forgot to call you!"

Su Wanyu was really embarrassed and her face was full of awkwardness.

"fine!"

Chang Jihong smiled, as if he didn't take the matter to heart at all.

She immediately turned her gaze to Chen Jin, looked him up and down, and nodded slightly.

"Yes, he is indeed a good candidate for the big screen!"

After nearly 30 years of ups and downs in the entertainment industry, Chang Jihong has been in this circle since Chinese films began to go global and the formal film industry in China began.

Her background in fine arts has enabled her to develop a pair of eagle eyes despite being a senior agent in Beijing.

In other words, she, like the teachers at the film academy, can tell whether a student has the qualities to perform on the big screen.

Some actors are born with a temperament suitable for movies, which people in the industry call - body art.

Not the kind of body art, but the form.

Your walking, smile, body shape, etc., are perfectly in line with the artistry of the film.

In Chang Jihong's eyes, Chen Jin in front of him was a rough gem born with the talent of "body art". He exuded a clean, sunny and friendly temperament, the kind that made people take a second look at him in the crowd.

This is an innate feeling, just like when you meet someone for the first time, you feel that he is difficult to get along with and very fierce at first glance; while with some people, you feel comfortable.

Chen Jin is obviously the latter.

"Would you like to chat sometime?"

Chang Jihong looked at Chen Jin and Su Wanyu with a smile on his face.

Su Wanyu glanced at Chen Jin.

This subtle movement made Chang Jihong look at Chen Jin, and the suspicion that Su Wanyu was strong in his mind instantly disappeared.

In this case, all we have to do is convince Chen Jin.

This is much simpler than Chang Jihong's previous idea of convincing Chen Jin's mother.

In this industry, there are too many cases where laymen’s parents influence their children.

Moreover, when an agency signs an artist, it will also do a background check. In case the artist's parents have a difficult background, etc., they will need to reconsider.

In fact, Chang Jihong has had someone investigate Chen Jin's family background in recent days, and it is her ideal growth environment for an artist.

Not too poor, not too rich or with a strong background.

Most middle-class children work hard to improve themselves. Their parents hope that they can make a class leap and become educated, knowledgeable, and ambitious.

"sure!"

Chen Jin answered straightforwardly, but still respected her mother's opinion: "Mom, is it okay?"

"Listen to you!"

Su Wanyu smiled, and Chang Jihong also smiled: "Then let's get in the car and sit in a nearby coffee shop?"

The two got in the car, Chang Jihong sat in the passenger seat, and there was another person in the back seat, wearing sunglasses. When he saw Chen Jin coming up, he waved at him: "Chen Jin, do you remember me?"

"teacher?"

Chen Jin almost blurted out "Wenli girl", but when the words came to his lips, his line skills kicked in instantly.

"Do you know me?"

Jiang Wenli took off her sunglasses and smiled.

Su Wanyu became nervous. There should be everyone of this woman's age that she didn't know.

Maybe Chen Jin's father liked her back then... After all, Wen Li was also a beauty when she was young.

"Yes, my mom loves watching your TV!" "Haha, really?"

Jiang Wenli looked at Su Wanyu, and Su Wanyu nodded: "Yes, golden wedding, Chinese-style divorce, I have seen them all!"

"Oh, you really do know me!"

Jiang Wenli smiled happily and pointed at Chang Jihong who was sitting in the passenger seat and said, "Sister Chang is my manager. She is a senior in the industry and has managed many artists!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a magazine that looked like a star album from her side.

"Our company's artists are here, as well as some of the movies we invested in!"

If you don’t know, you might think Jiang Wenli is her agent.

In fact, Chang Jihong and her husband, the famous domestic director Gu Changwei, both have shares in an agency that she is about to open.

Lao Gu is an amazing person. He was a classmate of Lao Mouzi and Chen Kaige, and was the exclusive cinematographer for their films. Now he is also a well-known director in China. Although he is not as famous as the three great directors Gangzi, Kaizi and Lao Mouzi, he should be second only to them.

The photography level is even top-notch.

After all, he won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, one of the three major international film festivals, and was nominated for the main competition. Farewell My Concubine was even nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. In this circle, there are not many people who can match his qualifications.

Yes, the first cinematographer of Farewell My Concubine was Gu Changwei.

“Wow, I’ve seen so many of these movies!”

Chen Jin was flipping through the movie catalogue, "If Love", "Nanjing! Nanjing!", "The Warlords", "The Legend of Qin"... Of course, these words were fake.

When Chen Jin saw the words "Xingmei" on the brochure, he actually understood.

This group currently has very strong connections in China.

You just think, in this area, both paths can kill, what level is it?
Star Media International Cinemas, China Film Star Media Cinema Chain, Star Media Huairou Film and Television Base... as well as international advertising, trade, and investment businesses... All in all, the market value is at least several hundred billion.

However, the most famous thing about the boss of this group is probably the one in the sky.

Now, with the support of this aircraft carrier, Chang Jihong is going to establish Xingmei Qianyi Culture Agency.

It forms a terminal of the entire industrial chain, which produces and sells its own products.

“This is the movie we are investing in and preparing to start filming!”

Seeing Chen Jin turned to the back, Jiang Wenli suddenly said.

There are many movie posters. Chen Jin has seen several of them in the random character experience cards, such as "The Best Friend", "The Orphan of Zhao", "Wuxia", "Killing", "The Banquet"...

In fact, these films have been reported in many news reports, such as "The Orphan of Zhao", Chen Kaige's new work.

"The Feast of Kings", a new work by Lu Chuan.

They are all blockbusters, with investments starting at hundreds of millions.

"Want to act?"

“Everyone has a chance!”

Jiang Wenli smiled slightly. In her opinion, no art student would refuse such an opportunity.

With big directors and big productions, becoming famous is easy.

But in fact... Chen Jin was complaining madly in his heart.

Damn, what a bunch of crap movies! No wonder the group went bankrupt in the end.

Lu Tailang, Kaizi brother...are they helping with the money laundering?
Chen Jin had a slight smile on his face, but didn't express anything. But in fact, because of these bad movies, he had no interest in signing a contract.

He felt unbearable when he thought about having to chat for a while in the cafe later.

The main reason he got on the bus was because he thought he could hear some useful news. There are so many movie resources that haven't even started filming yet, it's really an eyesore.

It would be fine if you didn't know, but I guess someone else would agree to join in a matter of minutes.

But Chen Jin... really knows the quality of these movies!
Each one is more outrageous than the last.

This... made him feel a little uncomfortable!
