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

Chapter 48 If you don’t make money now, when will you?
"Yes, getting admitted to Beijing Film Academy is just the beginning!"

"Take our literature department for example, how many graduates can participate in film and television projects?"

"Many of my classmates are doing odd jobs on the set, helping the big screenwriters revise the scripts!"

“The acting department is actually more difficult!”

"..."

Bao Jingjing sipped her coffee. From their conversation, she felt that Chen Jin was more stable and mature than he looked.

Many art students always think that if they are admitted to Beijing Film Academy, they will reach success overnight.

But in fact, how many people can fly?
However, the background of Chen Jin in front of him must be not simple. This can be felt through chatting. He has no worries about the future, but he is not the kind of blind confidence that art exam students have, but certainty.

Make sure you can pursue a career in acting.

This shows that he has good resources behind him, or someone is pushing him.

Bao Jingjing thought of Zhang Yimou again.

Drip!

The sudden text message made Bao Jingjing pick up the mobile phone on the table.

It was her boyfriend Wang Ran, asking her where she was?
There have been constant conflicts between the two of them recently, otherwise there wouldn't be Bao Jingjing's book "Love Is Not Blind", so they came out to discuss the copyright without telling him.

Wang Ran is also a graduate of Beijing Film Academy, and is in the same class as Bao Jingjing.

However, Bao Jingjing is from the Department of Literature, while Wang Ran is from the Department of Fine Arts, majoring in advertising directing. The two have been together since their junior year, and are now about to enter their fourth year.

Dating in school is a romantic surprise, but after graduation it’s all about the daily necessities of life and working to make money.

Seeing his girlfriend Bao Jingjing's novel being published, everything seemed to be on the right track; but Wang Ran couldn't even get a commercial shoot, and naturally a rift developed between the two.

"Sorry, junior, I have something to do here, I have to leave first!"

Bao Jingjing suddenly said to Chen Jin apologetically, Chen Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, then keep in touch, the price is negotiable anyway!"

"Yeah, ok!"

"I'll go back and sort out the contract!"

Deep down, Bao Jingjing is basically inclined to cooperate with Chen Jin.

The reason why the decision was not made on the spot was that the transaction of film and television copyrights is not as simple as signing a contract. There are a series of complex follow-ups such as negotiation period, scope of use, etc., and corresponding changes must be made at the Copyright Bureau.

This is just a preliminary negotiation.

Of course there is another reason, which is that Bao Jingjing really wants to ask her boyfriend Wang Ran.

Although the two of them are currently in a cold war period, I still have to ask him about selling copyrights.

In terms of personality, Bao Jingjing still tends to have the mentality of a traditional little woman.

Be fanciful, but not unrealistic.

Watching Bao Jingjing walk out of Starbucks, Chen Jin didn't expect that using Zhang Yimou as a cover would greatly increase the success rate of purchasing the copyright.

This was a coincidence that he had not expected beforehand.

But the deal isn't done yet, so nothing can be said.

Man proposes, God disposes!
He has done what he should do. The rest depends on when the director of "Love Is Not Blind" in his previous life will contact Bao Jingjing.

The later he contacts, the greater the chance of Chen Jin's success.

"All is ready except for the opportunity!"

"If you don't have money, everything you say is fake!"

Chen Jin stood up and walked out of Starbucks. Just on the way here with Bao Jingjing, he saw a newly opened sports lottery store.

Due to the upcoming World Cup in South Africa in June, the Sports Lottery Center has opened direct sales outlets in many first- and second-tier cities.

Different from private stores, this kind of sports lottery store looks very high-end, with computers and large display screens on both sides of the entrance. Some people passing by will be interested in going in to take a look, and then... fall in love with it.

It is not for buyers to see, but to attract more passers-by.

Chen Jin first went to withdraw some cash, and then pushed the door open. There was a beautiful young lady there to greet and guide him. After listening to the introduction, Chen Jin sat directly in front of a computer, watching the Champions League round of 16 that would begin in a few days.

The first round has been played, and the next round will be the home and away exchange rounds.

Chen Jin only had the scores of two games. Because in the future autobiographical movie, these two games were played at the same time, so Chen Jin glanced at the other game while watching the Real Madrid game.

"Number 10 and number 11 have 4 games in total!"

"If Bayern can reach the final, they will definitely win..."

"In the other match between Arsenal and Porto, it's hard to say, but Arsenal definitely has a better chance of winning!"

Chen Jin was analyzing the results of the two games, but he didn't know the results.

As for the 11th, Real Madrid vs. Lyon and Manchester United vs. AC Milan, the scores are very clear.

1-1, 4-0!

"If nothing unexpected happens in these two games, we can win!"

"Buy 1000 to test the waters?"

Chen Jin was writing on a piece of paper, and finally he gritted his teeth and decided to go for the big one.

If you don’t make money now, when will you?
Either the butterfly effect fails, or there will be a wave of sudden wealth!
Chen Jin took the completed win and loss form and the score and went to the cashier counter.

"Bayern loses, buy 2000, score 1-2, 1000!"

"If Real Madrid draws or loses, buy 2000 each, if the score is 1-1, buy 1000!"

“曼联胜，买2000，比分3-0，4-0买1000！”

“再买个串，皇马1-1串曼联4-0，皇马1-1串曼联3-0……各1000！”

It’s exactly 1, and it’s a mixture of real and fake.

If neither wins, Chen Jin will accept it and can only say that the butterfly effect is too powerful; if he wins, then after deducting taxes, he should be able to get around 200 million.

毕竟皇马1-1的赔率高达15倍，而曼联4-0米兰更是离谱的120倍！
The odds of the two games together are 2. Even if you buy 1800 yuan, you can get 1000 million!
This is the most ambush-proof method among all the purchasing methods of Chen Jin.

This way of buying did not arouse any suspicion at the cashier; it was not uncommon for ordinary people in the capital to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan on buying football balls.

Chen Jin's temperament and dress don't look like a poor person.

“Welcome next time!”

As the young lady said goodbye, Chen Jin put away the sports lottery ticket, went to a nearby store to buy a set of Estee Lauder cosmetics, and returned to the hotel after dinner.

Of course Su Wanyu also came back.

Seeing the Estee Lauder in Chen Jin's hand, she was slightly stunned: "What's wrong? Confiscated?"

"Maybe you don't like it, mom, you use it!"

Chen Jin placed the Estee Lauder on the table, but Su Wanyu looked at the receipt and said with some pain, "Why would I need something so good?"

"What did you buy with the remaining 1?"

This is why Chen Jin withdrew cash. If he used a credit card at the sports lottery store, he would be easily exposed.

"I bought some nourishing products and asked Sister Lu to deliver them to Director Zhang!"

With Chen Jin's acting skills at this point, he might not win the Oscar for Best Actor, but the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor should not be a problem.

"The audition this afternoon... is there a role?"

"I'm not sure, but it should be OK. Oh, by the way, this is the autograph from Director Zhang!"

Chen Jin hurriedly took out the rolled-up poster.

This is a work photo of Zhang Yimou when he was directing the Olympics in 08. It is of great significance to Zhang Yimou.

Perhaps in his mind, the thing he is most proud of and most recognized by himself in his life is his role as the chief director of the Imperial Capital Olympic Games.

It is also the highlight of his life.

"Now your dad...isn't he going to jump up to the sky in excitement?"

Su Wanyu looked at the poster signed by Zhang Yimou, her whole face was filled with smiles. She picked up her phone and prepared to call Chen Xianqi.

But Chen Jin was preparing to start his daily routine as an actor.

I will have a tough re-examination at the Central Academy of Drama the day after tomorrow!
