Chapter 1099

~6 min read 1,007 words

Lin Yu looked up at the seniors in the film circle not far away and couldn't help but exclaim.

Leading the way are Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou from the Beijing circle, along with Ge You, Chen Daoming, and others in the left column.

The right column is the Best Actor and Actress from the Hong Kong circle.

Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Jackie Chan, and Kara Wai and other Hong Kong circle artists.

It's interesting to say.

Before, the Hong Kong circle looked down on the mainland.

Even for a Kung Fu Emperor like Jet Li, the daily salary in the crew was only 3 yuan.

And at that time, the daily salary in the Hong Kong circle started at at least 3000 RMB.

And that was just the extra pay for a stuntman.

At that time, such a saying was circulated.

I would rather go to the Hong Kong circle to play a bit part than come to the mainland to be a lead actor.

It shows how big the gap is.

But with the end of Hong Kong police and action films, the salary has reversed.

Mainland actors are now clearly more popular, with average acting skills, but receiving sky-high salaries.

Making a group of Hong Kong stars envious and red-eyed.

Lin Yu had also seen such a joke before.

The money earned by a first-line female vase artist for a random movie.

Ordinary people wouldn't earn enough even if they worked from the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"What are you looking at?"

Wu Jing turned his head to see Lin Yu.

He was serious at first, but suddenly beamed with joy.

He turned around and grabbed Lin Yu.

"Everyone is an old senior, isn't it inappropriate for me to go in?"

Lin Yu nodded to everyone and said politely.

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"Director Lin, you are much busier than us old things now."

"It's not easy to see you."

Jackie Chan patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said familiarly.

You know, 'Jackie Chan Adventures' has been the ratings champion for six consecutive weeks since it was broadcast in North America.

The copyright fee earned exceeded 100 million US dollars.

Although this is a drop in the bucket for Jackie Chan's assets.

But other films were all fought for by Jackie Chan with his life.

Unlike this animation, which only did a few behind-the-scenes interviews and made a net profit of nearly 800 million.

Jackie Chan also admired Lin Yu's vision and talent from the bottom of his heart.

So he took the initiative to introduce Lin Yu to the senior artists in the Hong Kong circle.

"Wow, Director Lin Yu, are you so young?"

Tony Leung pushed his glasses, a bit surprised.

Now the exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and mainland directors are very close.

Tony Leung had heard of Lin Yu's name in the industry more than once before.

Unlike other actors and directors.

Lin Yu almost didn't go through any dormant period.

In just two or three years, he rushed from an unknown 18th-line artist to the ranks of first-line top-tier.

Followed by three big springboards in one year.

From variety show guest to actor, and then to director capital. This is simply an achievement that other artists can't imagine even in their dreams.

"Director Lin, I've heard of you for a long time."

Tony Leung's Mandarin was a bit awkward, but it could be heard that he was very respectful in his words.

This is the attitude of Hong Kong circle artists, extremely professional, humble, and respectful of the strong.

"Hello Director, I am Ye Tong."

"Director, I am Louis Koo."

"Hello Director Lin, I am Nick Cheung."

Lin Yu had enthusiastically shaken hands and greeted the seniors before.

But after hearing Nick Cheung's introduction.

He pinched his thigh hard, afraid that he would burst out laughing.

"Teacher Zhang, if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me."

"If any game manufacturer asks you to advertise, remember to refuse."

"???"

"Game endorsement?"

"Impossible, as a professional actor, I never take advertisements."

Nick Cheung was confused and then said firmly. He rarely even took advertisements.

Let alone endorsements for game manufacturers.

Don't say things too early!

Lin Yu knows very well how beastly these domestic game manufacturers are.

Let alone Nick Cheung, even Louis Koo and Jackie Chan couldn't resist the temptation of money from game manufacturers.

Lin Yu was also quite puzzled.

These advertising manufacturers can afford to invite top-tier big names in the Hong Kong circle, why can't they spend some money to make the costumes and special effects a little better?

Equipment recycling explosion rate is high!

One knife 9999?

Hey brother, come and bite me!

Asking these old actors to say such lines.

Was the game manufacturer's brain kicked by a donkey?

After entering the lounge.

The big shots sat down one after another.

Basically, acquaintances sat together to facilitate communication. From time to time,

the lounge also began to be filled with smoke.

Lin Yu felt that if these old guys smoked for a while longer, the alarm in this room would probably go off.

"Long time no see, Little Lin."

"No, now I should call you Director Lin."

Feng Xiaogang joked with a smile.

"Director Feng, you are too flattering, I'm just making a living."

Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand.

"By the way, I have a female actor here, can you put her in your Huanyu Company and help me hone her?"

Feng Xiaogang twisted out the cigarette butt and said seriously.

"Count me in, Little Lin, doesn't your Huanyu Company have a department for training artists? I'll also push a female actor to you."

Zhang Yimou, who was beside him, also chimed in.

Ah, what's the situation?

A Feng Girl, a Mou Girl.

Need my training?

Shu Qi, Rene Liu, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, what level of actors are these, what virtue and ability do I have to train them?

"Are they newcomers?"

Lin Yu was surprised and curious.
