I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 158: Epic System Update

Ding!
【Task】: The film and television works of the male lead will be broadcast or released! (Completed)

[Congratulations to the host, you have received a reward - a specific character experience card! ]

Ding!
[At the age of 40, your first starring work finally meets the audience, and the mission of counterattacking as a supporting actor is completed! 】

[The veteran actor system is officially launched! ]

[Updating...Please wait...]

"???"

Chen Jin had just returned to the rental house. He looked at the tasks that had been completed long ago and clicked on "Receive". Unexpectedly, this line of text popped up.

"What the hell...will the system be updated?"

"All the missions of the supporting role counterattack have been completed?"

In other words, in the system's judgment, I was considered a supporting role?
Signed with an agency, got endorsements, played the leading role, and yet this guy still thinks he is just a supporting actor? !

Is there something wrong with this dog system's judgment of the extras?

"Sure enough, the system is broken!"

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have detected that I was 40 years old..."

Chen Jin shook his head, and the next second he saw the virtual panel in front of him light up.

System update complete.

Ding!
【The veteran actor system has been loaded! 】

Then a personal panel that looked very similar to a game interface suddenly appeared in front of Chen Jin.

The previous system panel is still there, but there is an additional personal panel.

【Host】: Chen Jin
Performance 4D
[Line skills]: Proficient (121/1000)...

[Voice Skills]: Proficient in...

……

The actors' voice, stage presence, and performance stand out clearly.

And then below, there are actually many other projects.

Personal works, total box office of personal starring roles, personal awards, real fans, real popularity, box office records of starring roles...

Achievement Points: 730
At this moment, Chen Jin became more energetic.

This system update is quite interesting!

There are many more projects.

Chen Jin randomly clicked on one - total box office for the leading actor.

It clearly shows the box office numbers of "Under the Hawthorn Tree": 128, 345, 230.

"Damn, so precise?"

More than 1.28 million.

Chen Jin didn’t know if it was true or not, because he only knew that as of early morning, the total box office of "The Hawthorn Tree" was 1.22 million.

The box office has increased by 600 million from early morning to now, which is about right.

"This is quite amazing. Can it be counted in real time?"

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Is this tied to the Film Bureau's statistical system?"

At present, the box office data system of the special fund office has not yet been launched. In fact, the box office data is still not very accurate. Many cinemas in fourth-tier cities still rely on manual ticket writing. It will take 15 years for the whole country to be completely standardized.

So for daily box office statistics, the Film Bureau has a version, and theaters also have one, and there are still errors.

Of course, the fluctuation will not be too big, and it will mainly be subject to the announcement of the Film Bureau.

The key point is that the box office data on this system is always changing, which is even more amazing than real-time refresh.

It was 5230 just now, now it has become 6820!

The box office increased by more than 1000 in a short time.

"You're awesome!"

Chen Jin was just about to close the display when he discovered a beautiful medal behind it.

[Congratulations to the host for achieving a total box office of 1 million for starring roles, and reward 100 achievement points. ]

"Can this still happen?"

Chen Jin quickly clicked on the individual awards again, and sure enough, the Best Newcomer in Venice also had achievement points.

The reward was actually 500 points.

"Even the system thinks this award is valuable!"

Chen Jin no longer dared to think about how much the Venice Film Festival Best Actor award would be.

1000:?
However, Chen Jin checked the real number of fans, and it was only 8?
"Are you kidding me? I have over 130 million followers on Weibo!"

Then Chen Jin did some research and found out that these so-called real fans were actually the kind of "die-hard fans" who would rush into the cinema without thinking when a work was released.

He now has 8 people.

There is also the so-called real popularity, which is the assessment of first-tier and second-tier celebrities.

He has now reached the quasi-second line.

The achievement points for the fourth and third lines have also been credited.

The final box office record for a starring role is - none.

In other words, the movies starring him have not yet broken some records in Chinese film history, such as first-day box office, pre-sale box office, etc.

This system is indeed very detailed, and all the honors that an actor values most are listed here.

"Then what's the use of these achievement points?"

Chen Jin blinked and saw the explanation.

Achievement points can add four dimensions, which means they can improve the four basic aspects of voice, stage, behavior and performance.

Every 10 points can be converted into 1 point.

"730 achievement points, which means it can be increased by 73?"

Chen Jin looked at his own four dimensions and could directly upgrade two of the other three items except the lines.

There are still 10 points left for the full upgrade.

"Go up!"

Chen Jin did not hesitate and instantly mastered both the movement and performance.

[Physical Skills]: Skilled (101/1000), can skillfully control one's limbs and muscles, and change movements to meet the requirements of the role.

[Acting Skills]: Proficient (101/1000), integration of methods, techniques and substitution, and in-depth research on acting theory to simulate the most realistic state of the character.

……

Chen Jin also instantly felt that after adding some points, his sense of his body and performance methods seemed to have been strengthened a lot.

Although he could control a muscle in his face before, that required skills. But now, as long as he thinks about it, it seems that he can move his face naturally, as if it has formed a kind of muscle memory of thinking.

This is a terrifying level of control.

I guess only some veteran actors in China can do this. No young actor can reach this level. Some middle-aged actors may be able to do it, but there are definitely not many. For example, Duan Yihong and Wang Baoqiang may be able to do it.

"This system is pretty powerful after the upgrade. It's really heading towards the path of veteran actors!"

Chen Jin studied it for a while and it seemed that there was a new achievement system.

"Oh, yes, the mission!"

Chen Jinke was thinking about his trial card and now he has two.

Unexpectedly, when I clicked on the task, it was already completed?
【Task】: The role of the starring work is successful and the ratings or box office are recognized by the market. (Completed)
Another experience card is in hand.

Ding!
[The host's first debut work has been loved by countless audiences. Please keep up the good work and create new heights! ]

[Task]: The ratings or box office of the new work should exceed that of the debut work.

"This is easy!"

"Love Is Not Blind" should be okay!

Mainly this task doesn’t mention word of mouth, or the popularity of the character, but only talks about the box office.

Then "Love Is Not Blind" still has a chance to surpass "The Hawthorn Tree" at the box office.

"I have three more experience cards. I'm so happy!"

Chen Jin looked at the flashing card and exited the system.

Just when Chen Jin was thinking about "Love Is Not Blind" he suddenly remembered the agreement with Guo Xun. It seemed like this guy wanted to talk to him about something today?

"Oh, no, it's my appointment for today!"

Chen Jin hurriedly called Guo Xun, but the guy didn't answer.

Should be busy.

He has been working overtime on the post-production of "Love Is Not Blind" recently, and Chen Jin also knows about it.

After exercising for a while, Guo Xun's call came back as expected.

"Brother Jin, are you done?"

"Are you done with your work? I'm quite free. What's up?"

Chen Jin was asking.

"My partner has been urging me about the Li Xianji issue. I was thinking why don't the three of us sit down and talk about it later? I'll let you play the role of Li Xianji and see if the investors agree."

Guo Xun spoke in a low voice on the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter?"

"I play Li Xianji?"

This is not impossible, but: "Will the investors agree? And my salary is not low!"

The most important thing is that Chen Jin doesn't want to be involved in this matter.

Either he invests and the investor leaves; or he won't touch the film at all, and to say that his pay is not low is just a euphemism.

"So let's sit down and talk!"

"What is there to discuss? You just ask the investor if I can do it. If the investor says no, can you, as a partner, still be tough with the investor?"

"No, I have the right to direct. I said I want you to be the leading actor. If you don't agree, then we can do it ourselves!"

This guy Guo Xun was speaking with some assumptions.

"Brother, did you kick the other person out because of me?"

"Have you thought about the consequences?"

He is indeed a straight man. This shouldn't happen on his part!

Doesn’t he know what will happen if he offends the investors?

"It's not that serious. Although my partner has contacted them, the contract has not been signed yet. The main reason is that I haven't decided on the director's schedule yet!"

"..."

So simple.

"To be honest, I'm not afraid of you as an investor, but less trouble is worse than more!"

Chen Jin said, "I said at the beginning that we would work on this project together, but who knew that your partner would bring in another group of people!"

"It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away..."

"So sit down and talk, you can invest a little bit, and then get a leading actor, do you think this is okay?"

Guo Xun really wanted to film this movie, and there was a hint of pleading in his words.

Chen Jin had no choice but to say, "First ask your sponsor if they have selected the leading male role. If not, then you can bring it up with them!"

"Listen to the other party first!"

"After all, they are the investors!"

"What if they have a male lead candidate?"

"Then there's nothing to discuss..."

Chen Jin curled his lips: "You ask first, then... I'll find a way!"

"Ok?"

Guo Xun's eyes suddenly opened: "Do you have a solution?"

"no!"

"I just said that casually!"

Chen Jin was reluctant to reveal too much about the fact that the leading actor of "Li Xian Ji" was Fang Zuming, the son of Cheng Long.

If his investor is really this guy, Chen Jin does have a way.

Because this leading actor...can be considered as getting rid of a scourge for the people.

Once this matter is exposed, the investor will definitely withdraw the investment in disgrace without any hesitation.

However, Chen Jin had to rely on this incident to tie Guo Xun to his side.

"All right!"

Guo Xun sighed and had to follow Chen Jin's advice.

I really thought too much before.

Chen Jin is indeed famous, has acting skills and has won awards, but the investors... may not care about them at all, and Chen Jin is definitely not willing to offend Dasheng for this role.

Dasheng Media is the name of the company that invested in this company. It has produced "If Love", "Ip Man" and "Tiny Times" and is quite famous in the circle.

It is an old Hong Kong capital, otherwise it would not use the name of the housing group as the male lead.

After chatting with Chen Jin for a few words, Guo Xun hung up the phone.

But he didn't think much about it. Now he was focused on completing the post-production of "Love Is Not Blind" before National Day.

For negotiations, his partner has to come forward.

In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed in Chen Jin's military training.

Chen Jin was a little tanned, and she took her assistant Wang Yuanyuan with her to Changsha to shoot "The Founding of a Party"!
