Chapter 134 New Year, New Weather
It's 2009. Lin Ling has not had much time left, and Chu Yue has not had much time left. This year, Chu Yue has not been shortlisted for the Best Actor, which means there are only two opportunities left, and among the two opportunities left, you must win the Best Actor, otherwise, Lin Ling's agreement will lose!
Chu Yue does not have much time left. He was not young when he entered the entertainment industry five or six years ago, and now he is almost thirty. If he doesn't achieve a good career, would he really have to be 40 or 50 years old before he can win the Best Actor?
The process of further study in the Performing Arts Academy is very interesting. Some students who study there may become actors in the future, some may become screenwriters in the future, some may become photographers in the future, and some may become directors! These students are obviously very curious about Chu Yue and like his music very much. They signed in on the same day and it is ruthless! This shows how many people's music has become popular!
His music is very charming, but when it comes to his performance, he is despised. Only his performance in "Shapo Wolf" won everyone's applause. As for his performance in other dramas, according to a handsome boy, "You are simply a piece of wood in "The Strong One"!"
Obviously, Mutou is not suitable for comedy, and Chu Yue is not very interested in comedy. The king of comedy can only be Stephen Chow. No matter how good he does, he will only be a pseudo-comedy king in Stephen Chow's era.
However, it is impossible to admit that the benefits of studying in the Performing Arts Academy this time are huge. Chu Yue, who is friendly to others, quickly won everyone's love and recognition. Although these professionals are very proud on weekdays! However, according to a friend who is also a movie-study guy at Baptist University, they are not proud, they are those students of the mainland of Beijing Film Academy!
It can be said that it was Chu Yue’s blessing to know these people. I won’t mention them later. Just now, he has dug up a master of composing in it with great composing! And he recommended it to Lin Rui, becoming one of the song creators of Chu Yue’s third album!
At the same time, the Academy Awards announced the nomination list this time, and Chu Yue still has not received any of the films as the male lead. However, he still received two nominations, "First Service II" and "The Strongest One" Nominations for Best Songs. Ah Hao and Lan Xinlian were nominated for Best Screenwriter for "First Service", and Wu Zhenyu was also nominated for Best Actor for Best Actor for this film!
I cannot ignore this. Wu Zhenyu nominated the Best Supporting Actor in Golden Horse and the Best Actor in Golden Horse. This seems to be a conflict. But in fact, there is no big problem. Just look at how the film company signs up!
Among the most popular Chinese stars in Japan, Chu Yue ranked third among the most popular Chinese stars. What made Chu Yue feel helpless is that in Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and other places, he also became the top three sexual fantasy targets, because his performance on the ring was really sexy, and compared with his gentle performance on weekdays, it formed a contradictory charm!
Over the past few days, Chu Yue has been on the list in various and strange rankings! A white-collar magazine has selected the so-called top ten stars who want to become the same, and Chu Yue is ranked among the top three. Of course, no one will take this in mind. This is just a way for magazines to gain gimmicks.
There are three major film awards in Hong Kong, and the Film Awards are undoubtedly the most authoritative. The Film Review Society Award and the Golden Bauhinia Award are both awards mainly based on film critics, but there are great overlaps. However, compared with the Golden Bauhinia, the Film Review Society Awards are undoubtedly heavier. It is this year's Society Award. Among the top ten films recommended by the year, Chu Yue exclusively owns "Fastline Service" and "The Strong One" and "The Strong One".
The top ten Hong Kong films of the year are listed, "Found Service II" and "The Strongest Service" are on the list, and "Found Service" is only one million away from "Found Service" to be on the list. The real one is the top ten box office list of Chinese and Western films. "Found Service II" has ranked after two foreign language films with a box office of 36 million, becoming the annual Hong Kong film box office champion!
In Japan and South Korea, Chu Yue's play is probably only barely enough to reach the top 100 box office lists, and there is not much success in Taiwan. However, in the top 10 box office lists in the mainland, "Focus Service II" ranked third, and "The Strong One" barely squeezed into the top 10.
Two years ago, a popular Hong Kong magazine began to be the top ten box office stars of the year, only counting the box office results of the starring actors to rank. Chu Yue became the second box office runner-up of the year with three plays last year, second only to more than 80 million after Hua Zai. However, Hua Zai has one more drama than him. In Asian box office, Chu Yue became the champion with three plays with nearly 400 million!
A series of selections knocked down Chu Yue. He didn't seem to have done anything last year, so why did he achieve such results? However, this series of selection honors made Chu Yue icing on the cake, and maintained his exposure during his days of studying in the college. Thinking that Stephen Chow once dominated the top ten box office positions in the year, Chu Yue was envious. He liked that feeling very much! But, can he do it?
It seems that hope is very small, and the Hong Kong film market is already bleak, not as good as its heyday. Moreover, Chu Yue may not be able to shoot three or four movies every year, and he still has to fight against the powerful foreign language films of this era. How can he reappear such glory...
There is no doubt that the honors that have been worn on Chu Yue’s head have made 2009 look a wonderful beginning. As the saying goes, a good start is half the success. Perhaps Chu Yue has great hope of achieving great results in 2009...
When Chu Yue's further study finally came to an end, his relationship with Peier was also clarified by the clarification of Light and Shadow and Jiasheng, and was followed by reporters. But this does not mean that Chu Yue's "romance" will end from now on. According to Jiasheng and Lin Ling's intentions, he should find some time to have a scandal!
Ahao is recognized as Kuaishou. Isn’t it considered Kuaishou that a guy who can write a script in two days? Lan Xinlian can cooperate with Ahao, so of course it is not too slow in this regard. Usually, she can complete a notebook with Ahao in just two weeks.
During Chu Yue's further study, Ah Hao and Lan Xinlian made a book according to Chu Yue's intention. The story roughly means that a guy who is too ordinary to be more ordinary suddenly became the target of pursuit of the police and the gangster overnight! The police want to arrest him, the gangster wants to chase him, and the protagonist returns to the starting point after experiencing hardships. This is also the most wonderful thing in the film.
Who is the director of this drama? Chu Yue couldn't think of the most suitable director. Du Qifeng is of course a very outstanding director, but he is definitely not good at playing structured films. Chen Musheng's control over action scenes is very suitable, but he is still not good at this aspect by his master of Adu! As for the actress directors like Chen Jiashang, it is undoubtedly not suitable!
This is secondary. The most important element of this drama is not structure, but action drama. There are five small climaxes in the drama, two big climaxes, all of which are the essence of action dramas, and these are undoubtedly the most attractive ones. According to Ah Hao, "It's a pity that if you don't play structure, this drama is definitely the purest action film!"
Lin Ling also praised this book, believing that if the crew members are appropriate and there are appropriate actors, the show will be sold out. So Chu Yue took the script to Light and Shadow Company, and was the producer who was pregnant for ten months. After reading this book, he always felt a little weird: "KEVIN, this book is a bit weird, it should be worth the show. What do you want to do and what do you think?"
"I plan to do this drama in person, be an actor and director!" Chu Yue gritted his teeth. He knew that if he smashed the drama, the possibility of him becoming a director would be much smaller in the future. But this book was originally made according to his concept, and he knew very well what he wanted.
Tenyue was shocked and stared at him for a long time. She thought Chu Yue was joking, but she realized when she saw him with a serious expression. But she felt embarrassed. In his eyes, Chu Yue was of course a star with box office appeal, but how many stars can change careers and become good directors? It is really not easy to find: "A Yue, you have box office appeal now, but that's just an actor. Moreover, you are not a professional, so you may be a director..."
His meaning is obvious, Chu Yue understands it very well. If he changes any company, he doesn't have the courage to spend tens of millions to shoot such a movie for him! It is normal for Guangying to refuse to invest this time, but Chu Yue still talks with Guangying, because he has an actor contract with Guangying, so he has to ask for their consent.
Light and Shadow are unwilling to invest, so what company is willing to invest? Where can I go to invest? Yes, of course. After Ning Fei learned about this, she immediately made an appointment with Chu Yue: "If you want to invest, I can give it to you!"
"You?" Chu Yue was surprised. He had never thought about attracting investment from Concubine Ning. He smiled silently: "No need, you don't understand the things about making movies. Don't do anything randomly in these investments, otherwise you will lose money!"
"How could I lose money? Investing in "Foilline Service II" earned me 30 million, not including videotapes and copyright fees!" Ning Fei thought of the deal and felt that she was too wise. Unexpectedly, just one investment in Chu Yue could make her make such a lot of money, and half of the copyright of this drama was still in her hands.
Looking at the smiling Concubine Ning, Chu Yue's mind was messy. He didn't know that Concubine Ning had invested in "First Wire Service II". That was because he didn't look at the subtitles carefully, otherwise he would have seen the words "Thank you Ning" behind the subtitles. Even so, he was still shocked and opened his mouth wide for a long time. "But this time, I am the director!"
"What does that matter? It's the same. The money I earned was originally made by you for me. Now it's appropriate to invest in your new drama!" Concubine Ning has been able to meet Chu Yue every week these days, and her mood has improved a lot: "Maybe you can make a lot of money for me this time. This is originally a venture capital!"
Looking at Ning Fei's affectionate gaze, Chu Yue avoided it slightly and sighed softly! Thinking of being a director and thinking of her about to create the world on the screen, she felt itchy in her heart, and finally nodded and agreed: "Then you invest!"
The budget for this drama has not been made yet, and I don’t know the specific figures, but after Ning Fei sold the copyright of the other half of "Feng Wire Service II" to Light and Shadow Company, she got a lot of money. In this way, with the videotape (including VCD and DVD), the drama brought her 60 million in profits. She told Chu Yue that as long as the investment does not exceed 100 million, it will be fine!
Just kidding, 100 million? Chu Yue didn’t have that courage, but he invested 100 million in the first drama, and he was not that stupid! Although most directors’ debut works are not bad, the lack of some things is still obvious. Ning Fei’s investment came to him, and he didn’t want her to lose all her money!
Originally, Chu Yue thought that the investment in this drama would not be too great, so he didn't dare to consider those very awesome directors. But now it seems a little different. This drama is obviously quite suitable for director Wu Yusen. Lin Ling gave up his thoughts with one sentence: "If you don't want to be a director, why bother to study for a few months? Since you have studied, you might as well try it yourself!"
Lin Ling didn't have her own plans. She learned from her conversation with Chu Yue that as a director, she would definitely deeply understand the connotation of the work. Chu Yue is both a director and an actor. That kind of understanding will definitely make his performance more in-depth and it will be much easier to win awards. Moreover, being another director and actor Mel Gibson may not be a bad thing!
Lin Rui was preparing for Chu Yue's third album, and was also trying to write a script. When he went to study with Chu Yue, he might not have been willing to be a music producer, and maybe he could be a movie director.
Chu Yue was busy with the new drama, but Jiasheng Company had undergone tremendous changes. In addition to becoming a subsidiary of Liyin, Tong Weiyuan was still the general manager, but a deputy was sent to the top! However, Liyin had nothing to do with the front line. Lin Ling was also afraid that the reputation of first-line mergers and acquisitions and splits caused Liyin to be unstable, so he formed an inconspicuous small company with major consortiums to merge Liyin.
