Chapter 640: Unnormal guesses will become normal
Bai Jiang immediately replied in the group: 【Received】
After replying in the group, he made another call to the director.
As soon as the call was made, he secretly said it was bad, it was too early!
I'm afraid the director's phone is all busy now!
But fortunately, just as he was about to hang up, Director Chu answered the phone again.
"Hello? Bai Jiang, what's the matter?"
Bai Jiang came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Director Chu, I just finished running the announcement and took out my mobile phone to see, and I saw the announcement you sent in the group. You are going to hold a celebration banquet!"
Mentioning this, Chu Chenliang's mood is also very good.
There are only ten days left before the summer file ends, and the box office of "Dawn" has the advantage, pulling a large gap with the 2nd place.
Even if the box office performance is not good in the following days, it is the well-deserved summer file sales champion.
How can this not make him happy?
After working for so many years, his movies have been on the summer file and the winter vacation file, but there are not many results that have won the 1st place in the box office of the period.
The last time he won the first place in the summer file box office, it has to be twenty years ago!
At that time, China's film industry was not as developed as it is now. Being able to break through several hundred million box office that year was already a very good result.
He still remembers that the movie was the 3rd one he shot since he started his career, and it was also his first attempt to produce a special effects movie, which took two years of hard work to polish and complete.
Originally, the investment in this movie was not large, but special effects cost a lot of money. In order to make it perfect at that time, he even mortgaged his house.
At that time, there were not many special effects movies on the market, and he didn't know if the audience liked this type, just thinking that he shouldn't lose money and earn his house back.
As a result, as soon as it was on the cinema, the box office exploded immediately.
That year, his special effects movie swept various rankings, giving a shot in the arm to other directors who produced special effects movies on the market!
It can be said that since then, China has opened the era of special effects movies.
Every year in the summer file and winter vacation file, there will be a special effects movie released.
The status of special effects movies in the summer file is as indestructible as the status of comedy movies in the winter vacation file.
It was also by virtue of that movie that he cultivated deeply in the field of special effects and has been shooting special effects movies.
Thinking of this, Chu Chenliang was a little trance.
Along the way, it has actually been 20 years!
"Director Chu? Director Chu?" The voice on the other end of the mobile phone called back his drifting thoughts.
Chu Chenliang came back to his senses and said: "Yes, the box office results are so outstanding, it's unreasonable not to hold a celebration banquet. I have already booked a restaurant and am preparing to greet the media reporters to see how many people will come to participate."
Bai Jiang smiled and said: "Director Chu, to be honest, although I am the male lead in this movie, I have not done as much as Jin Li in terms of plot, character design, or the publicity contribution made to this movie later.
But I got the fame of this movie for nothing, and I feel a bit sorry. Why don't I book the restaurant? I also want to contribute."
Chu Chenliang also smiled: "No, the biggest beneficiary is me. I don't have to worry about investment problems for the next few movies I shoot. I'll book it."
He thought for a while and said: "If you really feel sorry, just practice your expressions well in front of the mirror and improve your thinking and imagination.
Special effects movies have high requirements for non-real-scene performances. When you shot last time, you obviously didn't prepare anything, and you entered the play too slowly."
Bai Jiang's eyelids jumped. After reacting, his heart beat fast!
He immediately said: "Okay, I have always felt that I didn't act well and was not fully prepared. If only I could learn more about the shooting methods of special effects movies.
I have already asked my agent to sign me up for an acting class, which specifically focuses on special effects, hoping to gain something."
Chu Chenliang said with satisfaction: "That's right, never give up learning."
After Bai Jiang hung up the phone, the assistant leaned over and asked suspiciously: "Brother Jiang, I haven't heard you tell the agent that you want to sign up for a class."
Bai Jiang's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "Then you heard it today."
The assistant was stunned, "Ah? Are you serious? You are so busy with announcements, where do you have time to sign up for a class to learn special effects acting?"
When Bai Jiang made the call, the assistant was always by his side and heard everything.
The news that the box office of "Dawn" broke 1.7 billion was told to him by the assistant. It was not said in the group. The director only said that he was going to hold a celebration banquet.
Bai Jiang said in a low voice: "Just now I talked to Director Chu on the phone, he revealed a tone, let me learn special effects acting well. He said that I acted very hastily before and didn't prepare anything. Did you hear the potential meaning?"
The assistant pondered: "Just feel that you didn't act well enough before?"
Bai Jiang rolled his eyes: "Stupid! This drama was finished long ago, why would the director turn over old accounts if he has nothing to do?
For someone who has only cooperated once, don't you think this kind of reminder is redundant? My friendship with Director Chu hasn't reached the point of saying intimate words!"
The assistant couldn't understand: "Then why did he specifically tell you that the performance last time was very hasty?"
Bai Jiang smiled meaningfully: "If there is no accident, I will continue to participate in the content of 'Dawn 2: Revelation'. The director is giving me a reminder first, let me learn in advance, so as not to keep up with the progress when shooting starts."
The assistant was stunned, does Director Chu really mean this?
Could it be out of the care of the elders for the younger generation, the heart of loving talent, so he reminded Brother Jiang?
Bai Jiang pondered: "There is this possibility, but it is not big.
Still the same sentence, my relationship with Director Chu is average, it hasn't reached the point of specifically reminding me. I think the possibility of me having a role in the second part is greater."
Thinking back and forth, my head hurts, and my heart is also up and down.
Bai Jiang didn't want to think anymore, and said with a firm expression: "Sign up for a class to learn first. Even if I can't shoot Director Chu's movie, there must be many directors who will find me to shoot other special effects movies. I am taking precautions!"
Jin Li didn't know the psychological activities of other actors. She was participating in a brand announcement.
If she doesn't want to run variety shows, she can only brush her face more in the fashion circle.
The fashion circle needs to be managed. If you want to get fashion resources, you must participate in brand activities.
If you want fashion resources but don't want to increase the brand's popularity, how can that work?
There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in the world.
And in this activity, she met Xu Ting. Xu Ting is also an image ambassador for a product line of Ru Meng Ling. Her status is okay, just not as powerful as a national spokesperson.
Jin Li saw her, raised her glass from across the crowd, and signaled to her.
What was in her glass was apple juice, which looked very much like champagne. This was specifically provided to her by Ru Meng Ling because they knew she was in poor health and could not drink alcohol.
Xu Ting saw her action, was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised her glass to return it.
The female celebrity beside her saw this and asked curiously: "Sister Xu Ting, is your relationship with Sister Jin Li very good?"
Xu Ting drank a sip of wine calmly, put down the glass, and thought:
The relationship is not good at all. She wants to run away every time she sees Jin Li now!
Every time she sees Jin Li, let alone seeing her face to face, even if she brushes her news in the news, she has lingering fears.
Behind that innocent and cute smile that looks ignorant of the world, hides a devil who knows everything!
She must have guessed that she wanted to do this at that time, so she specifically said a few ambiguous words to warn her!
But Xu Ting repeatedly believed that the recording pen she hid was very clever and did not reveal the stuffing.
Then how did Jin Li know?
It sounds a bit outrageous, but she thinks Jin Li has mind-reading skills and can hear other people's inner voices.
After accepting such an outrageous idea, Xu Ting's eyes suddenly opened up. She felt that Jin Li had many strange places before, and all this could be explained.
The reason why Jin Li's luck is so good is because she can hear other people's inner voices and know whether others want to shoot well or run away after making a profit.
She can get so many good resources because she can cater to others' preferences after hearing their inner voices and move step by step.
Of course, there are many things that cannot be explained by inner voices, such as that super luck, the strong luck of winning hundreds of thousands by scratching lottery tickets at will.
But Xu Ting just thinks that Jin Li can hear other people's inner voices.
She knows that this idea of hers is a bit abnormal.
But if she doesn't accept this abnormal idea, then she herself will become abnormal, so she would rather others be abnormal!
"Sister Xu Ting, why are you distracted? What are you thinking about?"
Xu Ting came back to her senses and specifically turned her body so that her face was not facing Jin Li.
Generally, if she couldn't see her face, Jin Li couldn't hear her inner voice.
Those novels are all written like this.
Xu Ting replied: "The relationship is okay, what's the matter?"
That female celebrity's eyes turned, and she said with a smile: "I almost forgot that you co-shot 'Dawn'. 'Dawn' is still showing now, and the box office results are gratifying. Of course you two know each other, and the relationship must be good."
The female celebrity paused and asked tentatively: "But Sister Xu Ting, I remember that you are the absolute heroine in 'Dawn', but the crew has always used Jin Li for publicity. Don't you feel a bit uncomfortable?"
Xu Ting pulled the corners of her mouth, "What am I uncomfortable with? 'Dawn' box office broke 1.7 billion, I have a box office record of 1.7 billion. Saying it out is a talking point."
She glanced at the female celebrity and said coldly: "Oh, I forgot, you don't shoot at all, naturally you don't know how happy it is to have a work with 1.7 billion box office. Only when you also have a work with 1.7 billion box office can you realize my current mood."
"You—"
The female celebrity ate a soft nail here at Xu Ting and walked to the other side angrily.
As a result, there was also a female celebrity waiting on that side. Seeing her walking over, her eyes lit up, and she asked in a low voice:
"How is it? Is Xu Ting very angry? Did you find out anything?"
The female celebrity shook her head and complained a little: "No, people are very happy. Regardless of whether it is Jin Li who drives the box office, she is the heroine of the 1.7 billion box office work, with glory added to her body!"
"You are really, where did you hear the news, saying that Xu Ting and Jin Li are not right, Xu Ting wants to snipe Jin Li, I see Xu Ting's meaning, she is willing to be a supporting role for Jin Li!"
Her friend frowned: "Is that so... It seems that the news from the paparazzi is unreliable. I thought Xu Ting could take the initiative to expose Jin Li's black material and kill her momentum."
The female celebrity said: "Instead of staring at Jin Li, you might as well have a good relationship with the senior management of Ru Meng Ling.
Ru Meng Ling only announced March Sky as the global spokesperson. This is an all-male group. Ru Meng Ling has so many women's makeup products, and they will definitely find a female celebrity to be the global spokesperson.
Jin Li's popularity is in full swing, and many brands want to cooperate with her. I feel that you can't compete, but you can still try the full-line endorsement in China."
That person sighed: "If you can get global, who wants national!"
"Jin Li, here!"
The person in charge of Ru Meng Ling's external publicity called Jin Li and introduced her to the president.
The president was wearing a suit, about sixty years old, and had already delegated power for several years. Now his son is in charge of Ru Meng Ling.
Today's activity is very close to his residence, so he just attended casually.
As a result, he saw Jin Li.
The president asked very kindly: "Jin Li, my grandson is already two years old. The family is preparing to do enlightenment for him and is looking for a teacher. Do you have time to be his enlightenment teacher?"
Jin Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "President Wang, you are flattering me. Where do I have the level to enlighten others?"
President Wang didn't think so: "How can you not? You work while learning and can get excellent results, which is very amazing. You can endure hardship. I hope my grandson can learn this energy from you."
Jin Li said with a wry smile: "President Wang, your son lives in a wealthy environment. If you really want him to learn to endure hardship, just send him to the countryside to experience it."
President Wang said: "That's different."
Jin Li said: "Many people think I am very amazing, but I feel it's really nothing. I don't have any tricks in learning, just keep learning and brushing questions like this. If I really want to say what is amazing, maybe my material desire level is relatively low, so I can withstand temptation."
President Wang sighed: "This is too difficult. Now everyone's life is getting better and better, and no one wants to endure hardship."
Jin Li's eyes curved and smiled: "But this is a good thing! Life is getting better and better, this is very good. Compared to living a hard life, I hope to live a good life."
President Wang also beamed with joy: "Yes, very good!"
The person in charge of external publicity left with Jin Li and couldn't help but say: "Just now you refused President Wang, it almost scared me. I thought President Wang would be furious."
Jin Li was happy.
"Is your President Wang so domineering in the company? If he is not satisfied, he will scold people. Can he fire my status as a spokesperson?"
The person in charge smiled: "Not to that extent, but I guess he won't cooperate with you next time. Fortunately, you finally made him happy."
Jin Li said: "President Wang is already in a semi-retired state, only thinking about holding his grandson, and is very tolerant of the people under his hands, so don't worry."
This was obtained from her looking at physiognomy, so she directly refused President Wang, and she was not worried about encountering trouble.
Ru Meng Ling's activity hasn't ended yet, Jin Li left early and returned to the company.
If she leaves after the activity ends, it will be terrifyingly congested.
In the car, Sui Lingfang stated Ya Jun's plan.
"Just received the latest news, Ya Jun can sign a bet with you, but there are harsh requirements on sales. The highest share concession requires sales of over ten million pieces!"
Jin Li laughed out loud, feeling a bit outrageous.
"Ten million pieces? Their watches are all over a thousand yuan. If they really sell ten million pieces, the sales volume will be amazing, ten billion!" ===== CHAPTER 641 =====
