It is really not easy for an actor from a commercial blockbuster to win an award for a literary film, and Chu Youyuan finally has a personal experience.

In the past few years, he has taken on several commercial blockbusters with the help of the springboard of "Gray", which not only established the status of a super first-line actor in China, but even won the trophy for Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Flower Festival, making money and making soft money!

However, he still failed to get a good script for a literary film.

Note that I didn't get it, not that I didn't touch it.

Whether it is Song Yan, Du Yun or his friends, or Qi Huang's senior executives, they have always remembered to help him find a good script, and they have even found it a few times. However, as long as the other party hears that it is Chu Youyuan, he will eventually be gone.

The better ones will praise Chu Youyuan greatly, and then euphemistically say that his book may not be suitable for his style; impatiently simply said straight to the point, other people's books don't plan to let commercial actors spoil them at all......

The most deceptive time was that Du Yuntong's friend learned that a screenwriter had a good book in his hand, so he ran over overnight to ask to see it, and after it was over, he called Song Yan and Chu Youyuan overnight, and the two of them were overjoyed when they heard it, and Chu Youyuan, who happened to be in the rest area, ran to the airport to catch a plane at three o'clock in the morning.

After arriving, it was quite smooth, and the screenwriter who was said to be a talented person had a good conversation with Chu Youyuan, and even had the first audition, and then asked Chu Youyuan to go back and wait for news.

Chu Youyuan was very excited, and when he came back, he analyzed with Song Yan: Although the other party is not famous, the script is really good, if it can really be won, although there is no hope of winning the award, it can be regarded as the first step.

As a result, the wait was more than 20 days, and there was no news at all, Chu Youyuan, who had already pushed two jobs, couldn't bear it after all, and called to inquire in person, but learned that the other party had given the role to a tepid literary film actor.

At that time, Chu Youyuan was angry, isn't this a special kid?

When Song Yan heard this, he couldn't help but scold, you said it earlier, just hanging on to other people's appetites, how many days did Chu Youyuan toss and turn, do you think you are so big? It's just a little-known screenwriter!

In the end, it was Chu Youyuan who turned around and comforted her.

As a result, the result of the cooperation between the young screenwriter and the young actor was that he couldn't even be shortlisted at all......

Later, a screenwriter took the initiative to find Chu Youyuan and said that he could consider providing him with a script, but there was one condition, that is, Chu Youyuan could not accept pure commercial films in the future.

To be honest, the script provided by the other party was indeed quite good, Chu Youyuan was moved at that time, but after carefully considering it for a few days, he still refused.

Song Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for him after hearing this, "Why don't you take it?" How many years have you been waiting? ”

Chu Youyuan smiled and said, "I've been waiting for so many years, and it's not bad this time." ”

He certainly wants a Linde Film Festival trophy to enrich his acting career, but he will never go crazy for that small trophy and affect his family.

This world is still very realistic, and what he pursues is actually spiritual and dispensable.

What is the most realistic? Money!

And what is the most profitable? Make commercial films.

Last year alone, Chu Youyuan's total income in all aspects was close to 100 million, ranking fourth in the list of Chinese artists' income. Ahem, of course, his wife Song Yan is from Linde's actress after all, and her income is much higher than him.

And more than 65% of these income items are caused by the chain reaction caused by the commercial blockbusters he starred in!

As we all know, commercial films are rich for three generations, and literary films are poor for a lifetime! No matter how good it is at the box office, I am afraid it can't compare to the income of a bad commercial movie, not to mention that the proportion of actors' salaries is even more pitiful.

If he really agreed to the screenwriter's request not to get involved in commercial films in the future, then it is conceivable that his income will plummet......

If he wants to maintain their current standard of living and quality, he Chu Youyuan is afraid that he will really become a man who allows his wife to support the family!

He doesn't want to, and he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to shift the blame to others because of selfishness.

Well, if I really don't have a chance with Linde in this life, then it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a bullish business superstar.

Since then, he has neither given up starring in commercial blockbusters, nor has he given up looking for suitable literary scripts, and his life has gone on like this......

Until Song Yan once again won the second Linde Actress Trophy in his life with his cooperation with Du Yun, he could even co-star as the male lead with foreign local actors in international commercial blockbusters, but he still did not officially enter the circle of literary films.

Then when he was thirty-five years old, there was a little chubby girl at home, and his wife was so busy that she was even memorizing lines in her dreams, so he took his daughter to film abroad.

The little girl's nickname is Dudu, she is only more than a year old this year, her flesh is whirring, white and tender, she looks very beautiful, and she is warmly welcomed by a group of old bachelors who account for more than 65% of the total number of people in the crew, and someone sneaks good things for her to eat 24 hours a day, which makes Chu Youyuan, who is single-minded, unable to guard against it.

The director, who has worked with him several times, knows that Chu Youyuan still wants to make commercial films very much in private, and he himself is also very optimistic about Chu Youyuan's acting skills, and feels that it is too wasteful for such a good actor to spend his life in commercial films, and occasionally help pay attention to it.

The director brought a ball the size of her head to Dudu, and the little girl hugged her hands and thanked her, and then played happily on the one-acre and three-point land that Chu Youyuan carved out for her.

The child was playing under the care of the nanny and bodyguards, Chu Youyuan was also relieved, and the director asked him mysteriously, "Do you still want to make literary films?" ”

Chu Youyuan nodded without thinking about it, "You want to change careers?" ”

"Where's that?" The director laughed, touched his head very honestly and said, "I still have a wife and four children to support, wouldn't changing careers lead to starvation?" I have an old friend who was drinking together the other day when I vaguely heard him say that he was working on a new script, but he didn't seem to have found a suitable actor yet. ”

After so many years of failure, to be honest, Chu Youyuan has been hit by a hundred poisons, even if the other party sues him for being inappropriate in the next second, there will be no fluctuations.

But if you have the chance, give it a try.

Three days later, accompanied by the director, Chu Youyuan took the baby to meet the screenwriter.

The other party was quite childlike, and after introducing each other, he played with Dudu for a while, and then talked to Chu Youyuan.

The first sentence at the beginning is, "You are such a good actor, why do you want to make commercial films?" ”

Commercial films, the picture is just a thrill, to put it mildly, in fact, there are no particularly high requirements for acting skills, an acting school like Chu Youyuan really feels like a tyrannical thing in the eyes of professionals.

Chu Youyuan, who has experienced a hundred battles, was not nervous, but pinched his daughter's fleshy little paws, and said lightly, "Supporting your family." ”

Filming commercial films has indeed brought him untold amounts of money and honor, and he can't deny this fact in order to please someone, it's a matter of principle.

Dudu is still young, he doesn't understand what adults say, he just thinks that the people around him are very interesting, and when he saw Chu Youyuan interacting with him, he also went to pull his father's cufflinks, laughing while dragging, and had a lot of fun.

The three of them actually didn't talk about any scripts seriously, they just talked about the weather, maybe the first half of the sentence was still talking about the weather, and the second half of the sentence was crooked to the point of complaining about which actor's acting skills were rotten like/......

But that's it, when it came time to separate, Mr. Screenwriter actually made a very happy decision, "Happy cooperation!" ”

This time, the screenwriter really spoke his mind, and Chu Youyuan did his best to shoot, and the effect was also very good, but in the final review stage, he still encountered setbacks.

The audience judges felt that Chu Youyuan was qualified to participate in the Best Actor competition, because for them, the boundaries between commercial films and literary films were not particularly clear, and if they acted well, it would be over. But when it came to the expert jury later, there was a difference of opinion among Yan zhòng.

Some people think that Chu Youyuan's acting skills are outstanding, his expression of feelings is delicate, and he perfectly shapes the image of the character, and he is fully qualified to enter the final stage; However, some judges believe that it is blasphemy to let a commercial actor play the leading role in a literary film, let alone let him participate in the actor competition......

Because the competition for the actress and actor is a very sensitive matter in itself, many times it is basically based on the preferences of the members of the Supreme Jury, so everyone had a long and heated discussion on the issue of how to position Chu Youyuan.

In the end, the film in which Chu Youyuan played the leading role won the Best Drama Award, but was not shortlisted for the Best Actor selection.

In this regard, the director and screenwriter of the film who helped him introduce him, as well as several judges of the Linde Film Festival, also expressed regret at the reception.

There was even a lot of coverage in China, and countless film critics and fans complained about him.

However, Chu Youyuan himself was very calm, and after attending the award ceremony, he went home to take the children as usual, and when everyone was about to lose control, he came out to press the scene.

When he was at home with Song Yan and his children, Chu Youyuan also said, "I went to try it, and there is a score in the deep and shallow water, since some judges say it's a pity, it proves that someone recognizes my performance, as long as I stick to it, I can impress them one day." ”

But no one expected that this insistence would persist for thirteen years, Dudu has grown from just being able to speak to graduating from junior high school, and his youngest son is about to go to school, Chu Youyuan has also participated in the Linde Film Festival several times, and even won the Best Actor at the Golden Flower Film Festival once! However, he always passed by Linde.

After a few times, Chu Youyuan and several judges of Linde are also familiar with each other, and the two of them will party with them or something in private.

Everyone is also very helpless about this matter, Chu Youyuan's acting skills are indeed very good, but then again, winning an award does not only require good acting skills, but also a good script, a good director, and a good camera...... And most importantly, good luck.

It is not uncommon for him to accompany him for more than ten years, and there are even many of them, and there are even more than twenty or thirty years. Well, it is estimated that there are many people who bring this wish into the coffin......

Almost for as long as she can remember, Dudu knew that her father was ready to sprint towards Linde at any time, and at first she would ask from time to time, "Dad, will you participate in the Linde Film Festival this year?" Will you win the prize? However, this question has been nearly ten years, and she has changed from the initial expectation to the current caution; She felt that it was already cruel to come back empty-handed or something every time, and if she asked sensibly, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire? O poor daddy!

The identity of the second generation of stars is destined to be indispensable to the paparazzi around her, and even the teachers and children in the same school most of the time also hope to get some gossip from her, for example, when will Chu Youyuan win the Linde actor?

Dudu was very disgusted by this kind of side knocking, and the little girl would lose her temper if she asked too much, "What is there to ask, that's my father, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" He is already a Golden Flower actor, I think he is proud! ”

After finishing speaking, the little girl will flick her ponytail and lead the bodyguard and driver to the kindergarten to pick up her younger brother in a dashing manner.

After a few more years, Song Yan has almost brushed up on several major film festivals at home and abroad, and has won a weighty award at each film festival, everyone is used to Chu Youyuan returning empty-handed at the Linde Film Festival, he unexpectedly came back with the actor trophy!

This is the first Linde and Jinhua double actor in China in the past 20 years!

It would be false to say that he was not excited, but Chu Youyuan was really not as excited as everyone imagined, so he trembled and couldn't cry, that is, he just talked a little more.

In his own words, "I'm a forty-seven or eight-year-old man, and after all that's happened, it's time to learn to be calm." ”

However, Dudu said, I didn't hear my mom complain that my dad was dripping from the podium when he grabbed her hand......
