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

Chapter 512 A New Journey Begins!

"cheers--"

The wine glasses clinked together in the air, producing a series of crisp sounds.

now.

The family sat around the dining table, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

Steamed sea bass, sweet and sour pork ribs.

Almost all of them were dishes that Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi preferred.

"Eat more, look how skinny you two have become."

As Su Wanyu spoke, she placed the bowl of chicken soup next to Zhu Yanmanzi.

Fortunately.

Compared to their last return, both of them have recovered considerably.

"Let me say a few words!"

Chen Xianqi raised his glass, clearly genuinely happy today.

He was more proud than anyone else of his son's success.

Su Wanyu rolled her eyes at Chen Xianqi.

"Let the kids eat properly, they don't have time to listen to your nagging."

Chen Xianqi scratched his head.

He looked embarrassed.

"Isn't this just making me happy!"

"Our Xiao Jin is so promising. She won the Best Actor award at the Berlin Film Festival. The Chen family is truly blessed."

Chen Jin was both amused and exasperated, but she could understand her father's feelings at that moment.

"Dad is happy for you."

As Chen Xianqi spoke, he became more and more excited. At this moment, he patted Chen Jin's shoulder, but his voice was slightly hoarse because he was suppressing his emotions.

It's not just Chan Yin-chi.

Su Wanyu's eyes also reddened.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore."

"Since we couldn't spend the Spring Festival properly at home, Dad will cook a couple more dishes for you this Lantern Festival."

Chen Xianqi drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Seeing Zhu Yanmanzi looking at Chen Jin with a melancholy expression, Su Wanyu naturally sensed something was amiss.

"what happened?"

"Can't even be home for the Lantern Festival?"

Faced with her mother's question, Chen Jin nodded helplessly.

"I'm going to the US to film 'Whiplash' during the Lantern Festival."

"Filming was originally scheduled to start in February, but it was delayed because of the film festival."

After all, we can't let him delay the entire production process.

Upon hearing Chen Jin's answer, Su Wanyu visibly showed some disappointment.

Behind Chen Jin's career success lies the fact that she spends most of her time apart from her family.

Even on ordinary days, it's not easy to have a proper meal together.

For one's own children.

More than his career success, Su Wanyu hoped that he could live a peaceful and safe life.

Having just been separated for half a year, and finally able to spend a few more days at home, I'm about to start living in a foreign country again.

Chen Xianqi saw this.

He hurriedly comforted his wife.

"Our son is career-minded, so we, as family members, just need to support him."

He's still young!

He patted Su Wanyu on the shoulder, and she could only try her best to calm down.

"Eat your vegetables. Tell me and your dad what you want to eat these next few days."

Back in the room.

Zhu Yanman hugged Chen Jin from behind, her eyes filled with deep reluctance.

The thought of the two of them about to part ways made her feel increasingly depressed.

Chen Jin naturally knew what his girlfriend was thinking.

He turned around and pulled the person into his arms.

They both had their own things to do next.

Chen Jin is going to the United States to film this year's major film, "Whiplash," while Zhu Yanmanzi is filming the new movie "Dog Thirteen" by China Electronics Technology Group.

This is an absolutely profound, authentic, and thought-provoking film.

The main purpose is to present the pain of growing up and the closed nature of family education.

This work has gained recognition both at home and abroad.

Furthermore, it won the Special Mention Award from the International Jury at the Berlin Film Festival.

have to say.

Entrusting this film to Zhu Yanmanzi was definitely the best decision.

The character's naivety, stubbornness, and sensitivity perfectly match Zhu Yanmanzi's temperament.

"obedient."

"After we finish filming this time, we'll take you on a nice trip."

"Really?"

Zhu Yanmanzi looked up at the person in front of her.

This scene looks quite endearing.

"of course it's true."

Chen Jin tucked Zhu Yanmanz's hair behind her ear and then gently kissed her forehead.

to be frank.

Aside from feeling guilty towards her parents for not being able to be with them often, Chen Jin probably feels most sorry for Zhu Yanmanzi.

All the time.

Whenever Chen Jin has work, Zhu Yanmanzi will accompany him no matter which city he is in.

However, Chen Jin had very little time to consider her feelings.

buzzing-

The urgent ringing of the telephone interrupted their conversation.

Chen Jin took her phone out of her pocket and then noticed the note on it.

It is Chen Su.

The call at this time must be urgent.

"Brother Jin, did I disturb your rest?"

It's common knowledge that Chen Jin has returned from Berlin; after all, the news has been circulating widely online, and very few people are unaware of it.

"No."

Zhu Yanmanz was fiddling with the Chinese knot buttons on Chen Jin's shirt.

I didn't pay attention to why Chen Su was calling at this time.
"Gao Xiaosong contacted our company a few days ago."

"I hope we can collaborate on a romance film called 'My Old Classmate,' which Lao Lang has already authorized!"

"I haven't given him an answer yet, and I was thinking of asking for your opinion."

After hearing what Chen Su said, Chen Jin lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms.

"My Deskmate"

A coming-of-age romance film.

The film should be good, especially since "So Young" has sparked a wave of nostalgia for youth.

Making this kind of film now would definitely evoke a wide range of emotional resonance.

Chen Jin thought for a moment.

"You can reserve your opinion and make a decision after you've seen the full script."

Chen Jin did not refuse.

This drama is perfect for Zhu Yanmanzi to play the female lead.

Right now, Zhu Yanmanzi needs her work to increase her profile.

With her talent and acting skills, she can take on any good script that suits her.

Upon hearing Chen Jin's reply, Chen Su nodded.

"besides--"

"Ning Hao also hopes to cooperate with our company on his new project."

have to say.

The Spring Festival film season has already made a name for itself in the film science genre.

They have firmly established themselves in the industry.

They have won awards one after another.

In addition, the influence of Chen Jin is enough to prove the strength of CETC itself.

So much so.

This naturally attracted the attention of directors from other industries.

Chen Jin did not discuss this matter in much detail.

After exchanging a few more words, the two hung up the phone.

As for China at this moment.

Chen Jin's name has long been synonymous with strength, and she is the subject of much discussion online.

The serialization of the story also made the field of electrical engineering the focus of public attention.

All of a sudden.

Jealousy and envy were among the emotions at play. This complex mix of feelings clearly made everyone pay close attention to the future of the company and Chen Jin.

I accompanied Zhu Yanmanzi home for two days.

period.

Yan Ning also fed the two of them large amounts of meat and fish.

Their daughter's boyfriend has already achieved far more than they could have imagined.

especially.

Zhu Yanmanzi had an easier time working alongside Chen Jin compared to her own struggles in the entertainment industry.

Zhu's father was the same.

After all, their daughter has been pampered by them since she was a child.

They are well aware of just how chaotic the entertainment industry is.

But now.

With Chen Jin by Zhu Yanmanzi's side, the two elders could naturally rest assured.

Fully charged, the two were brimming with energy once again.

As for what follows, everyone will go their separate ways and embark on a new journey.

Zhu Yanmanzi was naturally reluctant to part with him, after all, the two of them had always been together.

But now.

However, they have to be separated by work.

Chen Jin was taken to the airport, while Zhu Yanmanzi was clearly in low spirits.

"Will it take a long time again this time?"

Faced with his girlfriend's question, Chen Jin could only nod.

They were both pursuing their own careers, and if possible, who wouldn't want to stay together forever?

"When things are over, I can fly back."

"It's not like we won't be able to see each other for the entire year."

He smoothed Zhu Yanmanz's hair, but the latter remained somewhat sullen.

"Besides, we can make a call after we finish work."

Zhu Yanmanzi sighed.

Only then, as if having made up her mind, did she raise her head in Chen Jin's arms.

"I'm going to miss you."

"I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Seeing Chen Jin walk into the airport with many backward glances, I was reluctant to let her go, but I had no choice but to let her go for the sake of my work.

Chen Jin boarded a plane to Hollywood.

There are four major productions scheduled to be filmed this year.

The Grand Budapest Hotel, Whiplash, John Wick 2, and Marvel's Quicksilver.

These four works.

These are clearly major awards and key factors in Chen Jin's rise to international prominence. Even though he has won Best Actor awards at both Berlin and Venice, he still lags behind in North America.

It is hoped that these four films will bring global commercial success and cultural impact.

As a pinnacle of artistic style and aesthetic enjoyment, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" has the opportunity to win the Jury Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival.

As for "Whiplash," Chen Jin's most anticipated work this time, it features a high-intensity narrative pace and an exploration of obsessive pursuit.

Just reading the script tells you how exciting it is.

Needless to say, the other film series have also contributed to the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in transforming superheroes into global cultural icons.

It's undeniable.

Marvel has long been the benchmark for commercial entertainment films.

Thoughts came back.

Chen Jin couldn't help but look out the window.

Besides these must-see films, there are also quite a few other films that are expected to be produced this year.

The Martian, The Wandering Earth, Wolf Warrior!
Needless to say, "The Martian" is a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster that grossed nearly $6.3 million worldwide with a production cost of $1.08 million.

This film is definitely a commercial success.

As for "The Wandering Earth" and "Wolf Warrior," these were films that were arranged long ago. Chen Jin will star in one and make a cameo appearance in the other.

Finally, there are the works that have already entered post-production and are about to be released.

Hong Kong Trip, Dallas, and Fast & Furious 6!
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.

"Dallas" will be participating in the Sundance Film Festival and Cannes.

As a result, the notices are still quite full.

For a whole year, he was probably either on a roadshow or on the way to film.

Besides.

I also need to find time to attend a few award ceremonies.

but.

Chen Jin thoroughly enjoyed this.

As the plane gradually entered the airspace above Los Angeles, Chen Jin looked out the window at the scenery.

The entire city of Los Angeles is now in sight.

Now that he had been given the system, Chen Jin naturally wanted to make the most of it.

This life.

He is destined to stand at the pinnacle of the world.

After the plane landed smoothly, Chen Jin retrieved her luggage and went outside.

Agent Paula was already waiting outside the airport early on.

Hey, Chan!

After taking the luggage from Chen Jin, the two walked straight into the car.

"This is the script for 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'!"

In fact, Chen Jin had already roughly looked through it before.

Paula was sitting in front of Chen Jin, and began to explain the upcoming announcement.

"We're going to the set of 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' the day after tomorrow for filming."

"The filming period is half a month."

Chen Jin nodded.

Because it's a supporting role, it won't take much time.

Plus.

Chen Jin's physical condition has not fully recovered yet.

The slender physique is perfect for the second male lead, Zero.

As for this work, Chen Jin's co-star is Ralph Fiennes.

This actor, who became famous worldwide for his role as Voldemort in the Harry Potter series, created an absolutely classic villain in film history.

Besides.

He delivered an Oscar-worthy performance.

His works, such as "Schindler's List" and "The English Patient," are mostly well-known.

He even received an Oscar nomination for his role in "Schindler's List".

It can be said.

It possesses both strength and fame.

However, the character Voldemort is the most well-known to everyone, which has undoubtedly given him unparalleled fame.

Just acting opposite such a talented actor made Chen Jin increasingly excited.

"After finishing filming 'The Grand Budapest Hotel,' came 'Whiplash.'"

"This time, the filming period will be one and a half months."

Chen Jin has a more significant role in this drama, so she definitely needs to put in more effort.

Upon hearing Paula's report, Chen Jin remained silent, instead flipping through the script.

but.

Clearly, his work was not over yet.

"During the filming of 'Whiplash,' the 'John Wick 2' team will begin pre-production."

"As for the Marvel movies, filming will begin at the end of the year."

It has to be said that Paula is meticulous about every detail of her work.

This is the real reason why Chen Jin felt comfortable entrusting all the work to her.

She can arrange almost everything perfectly.

"OK."

Seeing Chen Jin's response, Paula did not bother her any further.

The car fell silent for a moment, and Chen Jin began to read the script intently.

I'll be joining the production team the day after tomorrow.

Next, I should really think about the character.

Actually.

For Chen Jin, this matter was not difficult at all.

Before that, he had already experienced the movie through the system.

The plot of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" was completely memorized.

At this moment, the only sound in the quiet car was Chen Jin flipping through the script.

Precisely.

"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is not just a story about a hotel, but more like a fairy tale allegory about old civilizations and the changing times.

A masterpiece with a tragic core!
