The Fantasy Entertainment Empire - Chapter 374
“Brother Dai?”
“What are you doing?”
Li Ze glanced at Chen Yu, who was eating in front of him. After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he said directly: “Eating hot pot with Chen Yu.”
“Oh…” said Dai Weidong on the phone, “to tell you something, the film of’Hongye Pictures’ originally scheduled to be picked up, I rejected it and switched to the show.”
“Why?” Li Ze was a little curious.
The so-called “Hongye Films” can be regarded as a mid-scale film production company in the domestic film circle. The investment of the film that is about to be made is about 70 million yuan, and the cost is not high. However, this is an urban drama. The cost is not high and it is excusable. The key is the script. Li Ze still likes it.
If such a movie is replaced, it is still a TV series. Li Ze does have some doubts in his heart.
Of course, it’s just a question. He trusts his agent Dai Weidong very much. The cooperation over the years has made him clearly realize that Old Dai’s vision and level are very good. It must have his reasons to let him give up such a movie and find him a series to play.
“The name of the play is “Destroying Kyushu”. It was adapted and produced by the company. There was a little conflict with your movie on the schedule, so I simply rejected it.”
“Okay.” Hearing this brief introduction, Li Ze didn’t ask anything, and nodded decisively.
Up to now, if anyone is most superstitious about the self-made works of Dimension Entertainment, it must be the group of contracted artists of ‘Dimension Broker’. And Li Ze himself is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the works produced by Dimension Entertainment, and Chen Yu, who is sitting in front of him at this moment, wants to remove the word “one”.
It has been several years since he and Chen Yu debuted together. He himself, relying on playing Zhuge Liang in “Fantasy Three Kingdoms”, is considered a little famous; later, the “Hell Apartment” series made him a solid foothold as a third-line actor. Relying on the experience of playing the protagonist in a “Ru Zidi”, with the absolute number one actor in a hit TV series, he also successfully jumped to the top of the second line.
And the one in front of him is even more legendary. The protagonist of “Fantasy Three Kingdoms” made him one of the most popular young actors of the year; later, the “Budo Master” series and the popularity of TV dramas made him the top traffic, plus the level of acting skills, more than the market. Those traffic stars on the show are much stronger, which also made him squeeze into the ranks of first-line actors.
Not to mention, the recent box office sales of “Budo Master: Fire of War” has now reached 3.5 billion at the box office. Through this film, Chen Yu proved his box office appeal and directly established the position of the top male star.
He became popular very quickly and became the most envied person of most of the contracted artists in the ‘Dimension Broker’, and he was also their biggest role model.
No one wants to be popular as a celebrity. And before the role models of Li Ze and Chen Yu, everyone knows that the best and fastest way to become popular is to star in a TV series or movie produced by their own company.
Li Ze himself is relatively indifferent to fame and fortune now, but if there is a chance to get a higher level, he will not be stupid and push it away, and his brain is not sick.
What’s more, he is quite confident in the works produced by the dimension. The past few shots were all very good experiences. The crew is professional, the shooting process is reliable, and the quality of the final product is also very guaranteed. In addition, the company itself will not treat them badly. Unlike some vampire agency companies, the remuneration that should be given is sufficient.
What else is unsatisfactory?
As for the urban drama of “Hongye Pictures”, I won’t make it if I don’t make it. Although he liked the script quite a bit, he believed that it was definitely not as good as the one produced by his own company.
“Okay, I just let you know the details of this project. When you come back to the company, we will talk in detail. You can eat well first, and I won’t bother you much.”
“Well, let’s hang up first.”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu, who was sitting across from him, picked up the glass, poured himself a sip of beer, and then asked, “Brother Dai? Have a new project?”
“Yeah.” The two were good friends, and Li Ze didn’t think he had to hide anything, so he told the matter.
Chen Yu sighed and looked a little gloomy: “I want to shoot this too!”
Judging from his appearance, it doesn’t look like a starring work at all, what an actor who has just won a hugely successful box office of 3.5 billion yuan should be.
Indeed, his mood is not so beautiful now. In fact, he called Li Ze out at this moment, which was a bit like asking a good friend to talk to him.
Li Ze shook his head and said, “I really don’t know what else you are not satisfied with. Now you look at what other people call you? It doesn’t matter what you call “Xinxing” or “Little Fresh Meat”, just just say it. You are a’rising superstar’. Comrade Superstar, you still sigh like this, isn’t it a bit bad?”
“Come on, you.” Chen Yu curled his lips and said, “The media is talking nonsense, what’s the point of you following it? Does your family still know about your family?”
“Then tell me what are you worried about?”
“I think I’m in a bottleneck.” Chen Yu said, “Look at the things I’m shooting now. I really don’t have to temper my acting skills. I really want to talk about fire, that’s true, the role of’Lou Cheng’ is a big hit, but that So what? Can I live my life with this character?”
“How can’t you? Wait ten years~www.mtlnovel.com~ maybe you have to be said to be a memory of a generation.”
“But I don’t want to be like this.” Chen Yu said, his face a little bit distressed, “I don’t want to just rely on a character to eat for a lifetime. When I don’t want to, when people talk about me, they just say,’Is the acting like that?’, what’s the matter? significance?”
Li Ze smiled and said, “I can understand what you think.”
“You can’t.” Chen Yu’s ears became a little red under the urging of alcohol, “Sometimes I envy you… Don’t laugh, it’s true. I saw everything you took, and it was very interesting. Ah, the acting skills are so good, and everyone in and out of the circle says you are a good actor. Unlike me, when people talk about me, they only know that I am hot. Huo Huo Huo… Huo his sister!”
Li Ze laughed and said: “You are now profitable, famous, and you still want virtue. Now I don’t know how many people envy you. You can ask those newcomers and young artists in the company to see if they want to be you or become you. I?”
“That’s no use!” Chen Yu said, “I am already like this now, should I continue to look higher as a human being?”
