Chapter 40: A Rich Second-Generation Director?

For a period of time afterward, Hong Chen has been filming in the crew of "Li Bai".

According to the development of the plot, Li Bai overshadowed the emperor because he wrote poems at the feast of bliss, and the emperor was angry, so he expelled Li Bai from Chang'an.

Of course, Li Bai was also happy.

He was already disappointed in the rulers.

At the same time, this is also the last scene of Hong Chen, that is, riding a fast horse galloping in the mountains.

However, this scene requires Hong Chen to ride a horse to shoot, but Hong Chen does not know how to ride a horse, nor does he have this skill.

Zhang Hai told Hong Chen that it could be done with a stand-in, and he only needed to make a few expressions and a few close-ups on the "prop horse".

However, Hong Chen insisted on riding a real horse, because the effect was better this way.

The method of switching shots with a stand-in will make this scene lose an overall beauty.

Hong Chen's idea made Zhang Hai impressed again, because there are very few actors who pursue details so much now.

For many actors, the sooner the filming is finished, the better, and the more trouble-free the better, anyway, the salary remains the same.

So, Hong Chen specially found a horse riding teacher, and he practiced horse riding outside Tang City in the past few days.

It's not easy to practice horseback riding, it's even harder than getting a driver's license, not to mention that although you have a saddle, beginners can't avoid the fate of your butt blooming.

Fortunately, after practicing for a week, Hong Chen sacrificed his ass in exchange for a perfect curtain call for the last shot.

At the end of the scene, he fell from his horse and lay in the weeds, drunk and unconscious.

"Click!" the director called out.

"Congratulations to Hongchen for his completion. ”

For a while, the crew applauded.

In just three months of shooting, everyone sincerely admires him.

can endure hardships, is not pretentious, has acting skills, and has a kind of personality charm.

Hong Chen got up and patted the soil on his body, and said with a hearty smile: "I'm having a treat tonight, and the whole crew will go." ”

Hearing his words, the cheers were even louder.

Although Hong Chen is the protagonist, after filming Li Bai left Chang'an, it was the scene of the Anshi Rebellion, which had little to do with Li Bai, and the elderly Li Bai was played by a special group actor, so Hong Chen could end filming early.

At this point, his filming in the crew of "Li Bai" has ended, and it is early spring.

Zhang Hai told him that the filming of this drama will be completed in May, and special effects shots will be added in the later stage, and it will be released in August about August.

In other words, it will be several months before Hong Chen appears on the screen next time.

This is also the norm in the entertainment industry, under normal circumstances, it is good for high-traffic stars to have almost one film and television drama every year.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the box office of "Kill the Wolf 2" finally reached 1 billion, which is already a big profit for investors. Hong Chen used to be on the hot search because of the name of a thug in a suit, and now he can often be seen on short video software.

In terms of popularity, he barely reached the level of a second-tier actor in China.

As it turned out, Huahai Media's investment was not wrong.

"Now the audience's impression of you is still stuck in the villains in "Battle for Fire" and "Slaying the Wolf 2", and when "Li Bai" is released, with the support of the big male lead movie, the effect should be much better. Ge Chen said to him.

"I contacted Yan Yileng's brother Yan Chi and made an appointment to meet in Kyoto the day after tomorrow to discuss cooperation. In addition, the resources given to us by the company have not been very good recently, and there are rumors that someone is suppressing you internally. ”

Hearing this, Hong Chen was slightly surprised, "Suppress me?"

The first thing he thought of was Xun Fei, but to be honest, he and Xun Fei have not reached this level, the two of them have different coffee positions, and Xun Fei will not specifically suppress him.

Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but there is also a possibility that there are other people in the company who have opinions about him.

You must know that the entertainment company is not calm and quiet. Resources are limited, and the distribution to each artist is uneven, and many times there is even a rush for resources between the two teams.

The battle between the open and the dark within the entertainment company is very serious.

"But it doesn't matter, I don't rely on the company to find resources, and it doesn't matter if the company can't give resources. It just so happens that the script of "Those Years" is very good, and our development prospects are very good. ”

"Well, okay, but you still have to pay attention to whether there is someone in the company who is targeting me, and I always want to know who the other party is. Hong Chen smiled indifferently, and there was an imperceptible cold light in his eyes.

He was never an easy Lord.

When Li Feifei was still his girlfriend, he dared to beat the director.

Now that someone wants to suppress him, he naturally wants to make the other party look good.

Then, Ge Chen arranged the air ticket, and the team returned to Kyoto.

got off the plane, to Hong Chen's surprise, there were many fans who picked up the plane, and most of them were female fans.

Ge Chen told him that many fans will inquire about the idol's itinerary, and you are now a popular idol.

In this regard, Hong Chen was noncommittal, he signed autographs for fans at the airport, took photos with fans, and finally waved goodbye to fans happily.

Then, he rested in Kyoto City for two days, during which he originally wanted to visit Wu Zhan, but after chatting, he found out that Wu Zhan was training and exercising in the army in order to shoot the movie "Wolf Warrior" that he wrote and directed, so he was not in Kyoto.

For this, Hong Chen is particularly admired.

In order to make a military-themed movie, I am afraid that few people can achieve this practice of running to the army to live for a period of time and leaving after a few days.

So, some people's success is predestined.

Two days later, in the private room of the Xingchen Hotel, Hong Chen and Ge Chen made an appointment to meet director Yan Chi.

Yan Chi is 26 years old this year, but because he has curly hair, he looks older.

He gives people a sense of composure.

"Teacher Hongchen, hello, hello. Yan Chi politely stretched out his hand to greet Hong Chen.

Hong Chen shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Just call me Hong Chen, it's awkward for the director to call me a teacher." ”

"You are too polite, Yi Leng told me about your performance in the crew of "Li Bai", I really admire your acting skills. ”

Hong Chen didn't expect Yan Chi to be so polite, so he responded with a smile.

Actually, it's normal for Yan Chi to be so polite. In many cases, the actors in the crew have a higher status than the director.

For example, a top-notch Xiao Xianrou is in an ordinary crew, he doesn't dare to start the film if he doesn't come to the director, and how Xiao Xianrou wants to shoot the director must follow Xiao Xianrou's meaning.

Because Xiao Xianrou is the director's biggest selling point and reliance on filming, it must be supplied.

The crew of the big director will have a lot less of this situation.

Yan Chi has just graduated now, and although he has strength, his status is not high, so he is very polite to Hong Chen.

"Director Yan Chi, let's talk about the salary of this play. After chatting for a while, Ge Chen began to cut to the chase.

Hearing this, Yan Chi's face showed a little embarrassment, "Teacher Hong Chen, Miss Ge, to be honest, this movie is a little difficult to cash in now, and the salary I can give is probably not too high." ”

Hearing his words, a trace of astonishment welled up on both Hong Chen and Ge Chen's faces.

Having trouble with cash flow?

The cost of this movie is at most 50 million, and your parents' assets are sitting on billions, and taking 100 million is enough for him to shoot casually.

Yan Chi saw Hong Chen and Ge Chen's expressions of disbelief, so he explained: "I know what you're thinking, let's put it this way, I really don't want to rely on my parents at all, I have to rely on myself for this matter." ”

"And my parents weren't supportive, and they wished that my first film would lose so that I could go back and inherit my mom's multi-billion dollar company. ”

Listening to his explanation, Hong Chen couldn't help but smack his lips.

In the end, it is the second generation of rich, if it fails, it will be forced to go back and inherit billions of assets.

This caught him by surprise.
