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

Chapter 270: Three Joys! A Day Like No Other!
July 7th, the last scene of "So Young".

"Come!"

"Cheers to eternal youth!"

Li Jiahang was shouting while holding a beer.

Nazha and Zhu Yanmanzi were sitting in the dim old tavern.

This is the last scene of college in "So Young", a dinner party before graduation, after which everyone goes their separate ways.

So the shot was very sad.

"Lao Guo, add a farewell music here!"

Chen Jin looked at the monitor and suddenly spoke to Guo Xun who was standing beside him.

Guo Xun was holding a small electric fan and blowing it desperately. He was sweating profusely. He didn't even raise his head after hearing Chen Jin's words: "Nonsense, the next scene will be them entering society, and the background music must be exaggerated!"

"That's not what I meant. I just thought of a song to go with it!"

Now Guo Xun raised his head and first shouted "NG" because several people were not in the right state to shoot.

This last scene is still very important.

"What song is it?"

"Do you know the graduation song that was very popular on the Internet last year?"

"..."

Guo Xun shook his head.

"Oh, I forgot, you graduated many years ago, and I just graduated from high school last year!"

"You TM~~~"

Guo Xun picked up the walkie-talkie and prepared to hit Chen Jin on the head.

This guy stayed on the set every day after the filming was finished, under the pretext of teaching Nazha how to act, but his intention was actually to conceal his true intentions.

"Haha, just kidding, 'BJ East Road Days', have you heard of it?"

“It’s going viral online!”

"I've heard it, I've heard it!"

Nazha stretched out her hand as she walked out of the set. The scene just now was reshot, but the weather in July was too hot, so everyone had to take a break and touch up their makeup.

"Old Guo, if you haven't heard of it, then you haven't heard of it. It's not shameful!"

Seeing Guo Xun's bewildered look, Chen Jin patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay to admit that you are an old man!"

“This one!”

Nazha suddenly took out her cell phone and played a song.

"At the beginning, we were all children~~"

A sad voice came from the phone, and Guo Xun couldn't help but give up the idea of kicking Chen Jin twice.

“This song is really nice!”

“Now they are all on the Kugou rankings!”

Zhu Yanmanzi leaned on Chen Jin. Those who graduated last year had basically all heard of it.

This song is an original graduation song written and performed by the students of Class 2010 of Grade 6 of NFLS in to commemorate their lost youth!
In the year it was launched, it had over 100 million views and has become the "graduation song" for many graduates over the years.

After the song became popular, many high school students also tried to adapt and write lyrics for it. Currently, the music video is popular on major video websites, forums and BBSs, with over 10 million views on Youku alone.

In later generations, it would be sung during graduation season.

“This melody is quite suitable!”

"The students are sad..."

Guo Xun listened for a while and felt that the music for this section was indeed good.

"Find someone to get the copyright. It shouldn't be expensive since it's composed by a college student. And when the movie is released, it will also create a lot of buzz!"

The main reason is that this song is indeed very popular on the Internet, and it is very helpful to the movie box office and the audience.

Sometimes, if a theme song becomes popular, it can also boost the box office of a movie.

"Okay, I'll ask Lao Gong to make the contact!"

Guo Xun didn't think much about it. After writing this down, he started filming the previous segment again.

"Brother Jin, phone call!"

Wang Yuanyuan trotted over. Chen Jin was just about to sit down when he saw the assistant's expression, thinking that the call must be urgent.

“Did ‘The Founding of the Party’ break the record?”

Chen Jin guessed that this might be it.

Because yesterday the box office of "The Founding of a Party" had exceeded 8.6 million, and it was only less than 500 million away from "Let the Bullets Fly".

As early as 10 days ago, various departments launched a wave of collective movie-watching, including student groups, so in 10 days, the box office increased by nearly 2 million.

The contribution of collective movie watching should be over 1 million.

In fact, 1 million is already an exaggerated number.

Many people think that mobilizing institutions and students can have a strong box office growth, but in fact it is not as exaggerated as imagined.

Many movies break box office records, which are all real hard work. Even if you make a bad movie, it will be the same.

It is true that the strong will always be strong.

Even if there was no group viewing, "Wolf Warrior 2" would certainly have broken the record and reached a box office of over 50 billion.

It’s just that this kind of collective ticket viewing has triggered a larger wave of movie-watching.

Add icing on the cake and push the box office even higher.

The nature of the movie "The Founding of a Party" is different, so it has a bigger momentum. People on the Internet thought it was the result of a collective vote-buying campaign. In fact, there was a result, but passers-by will always be the largest base.

It’s just a pity that Han Sanpin’s initial estimate of a box office of 10 billion is unlikely to be achieved.

The final box office should be over 9 million!

As for how much it exceeds 9 million, analysts cannot judge because the key will definitely be extended.

Currently, the box office curve of "The Founding of a Party" has fallen back below 2 million, with the daily box office ranging from several million; and in 3 days, the mainland will usher in a heavyweight special effects blockbuster - "Transformers "!
This may overshadow all the popularity of "The Founding of the Party".

At present, the box office of "Transformers 3" abroad has exceeded 7 million US dollars, and it is showing signs of sweeping the world, with unprecedented popularity.

The pre-sale has just started these two days, and Chen Jin feels that the pre-sale record just set by "The Founding of a Party" is about to be broken.

There are also midnight shows and so on.

According to the original timeline, "Transformers 3" was already terrifying, becoming the second Hollywood blockbuster in China to break 10 billion. Except for the final box office losing to "Avatar", it broke all records in China.

The only thing that "The Founding of the Party" can maintain now is probably the many achievements of domestic films.

In fact, exceeding the total box office of 8.67 million yuan of "Let the Bullets Fly" was an achievement that Chen Jin had not dared to imagine at the beginning; even without the sudden emergence of "Transformers 3", "The Founding of a Party" was actually a phenomenon.

The first domestic film to break 9 million box office in China!

The first championship record in Chinese film history!
Pre-sale broke the record again!
As the leading male star, Chen Jin has of course received a lot of popularity; his fans on Weibo have skyrocketed to 120 million this month, plus 11 real fans; Chen Jin now has as many as 59 real fans, and if every one of them buys a ticket, the box office will be over million!
In fact, this is Chen Jin's passerby circle. He seems to be not as famous as Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and others now, but he has a good popularity among passers-by and the audience is willing to buy tickets to enter. He is a bit like the future Zhu Yilong, but without his such a disgusting fan circle.

Chen Jin does have some box office appeal.

This is the accumulation of three works in which the male lead is played, and three blockbuster films.

Two of them broke box office records!
……

"Old Tian?"

Chen Jin took the phone that Wang Yuanyuan handed over and answered the call.

He thought it was Han Sanpin calling, which made him happy for nothing.

"Director Tian!"

Chen Jin called out, and Tian Zhuangzhuang's cheerful voice came over: "You can buy tickets now, I just got the admission ticket!"

"Oh?"

Chen Jin listened to his humorous teasing and smiled, "Did you receive the notification of being shortlisted?"

"Well, Venice just sent a congratulatory email!"

"Haha, Director Tian, you are still as skilled as ever. Congratulations on your comeback!"

"Stop doing this!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang was obviously in a good mood: "I heard you still have to participate in the Huabiao Awards?"

"Yes, so I bought the ticket in advance!"

"Haha, are you so confident that we can make the cut?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang was laughing very happily. Chen Jin's action of buying tickets in advance was more effective than ten words of flattery.

nonsense!

Mark Mueller, the curatorial chairman of the Venice Film Festival, the six judges of the Venice jury, plus the arrangement of MK2, a long-established European art film group, all aspects have been fully connected except that the chairman of the jury is unknown.

There are six judges, and previously there were three insignificant composers, actors and artists. These were people appointed by Ma to balance the awards.

There are 3 directors left.

André Tessine is from MK2. Another American Hollywood director, Todd Haynes, has worked with Bale many times. The two are familiar with each other. The gay film "Velvet Goldmine" they shot together even won the Cannes Art Award.

Chen Jin also asked Bell to say hello. The last director judge was from Italy, and Lao Ma was responsible for it.

In other words, the chairman of the jury, Darren Aronofsky, has been completely sidelined.

"You are all my people, why do you fight with me?"

If he can't beat them, then he has no choice but to join.

Moreover, Chen Jin believed that he understood an old Chinese saying: He who knows the times is a hero.

We all understand how to live a normal life, so Americans should understand it even better.

For this Venice International Expo, Chen Jin can be said to have put all his connections and public relations into use.

Plus, he gave a convincing performance.

Unless...you meet a pervert.

So Chen Jin still has to take a look at the list of films shortlisted for the main competition unit of Venice this year.

See if there are any powerful opponents.

However, Chen Jin was still very modest: "After I watched the film the other day, I felt that being nominated was a good possibility. Besides, the plane ticket can be refunded, so I bought it first!"

"Ha ha!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled and said, "Okay, then Xiaowen and I will go first. I have to catch up with Lao Ma!"

"I haven't seen this old guy in years!"

The relationship between Tian Zhuangzhuang and Mark is similar to that of childhood friends.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is the director Mark admires most in the country.

"Well, I guess I'll be two days late!"

"By the way, Director, when will the specific list of nominees be released?"

The official website of the Venice Film Festival announces the shortlist for each category every year, but due to the time difference, they usually notify everyone by email and get feedback before posting the film.

"It will be soon, usually every other day!"

"I saw the email early in the morning. It was sent to me in the early hours of the morning. There may be an update in the evening!"

"But I just called Lao Ma. This time, several of our Chinese-language films have been shortlisted!"

"Lao Ma is risking everything!"

As far as Chen Jin remembered, there were four films, which was the most nominated films since the four in 07; Lao Ma was still quite powerful, and he couldn't give out awards directly, but it was still easy to give out a few shortlists.

During his years in office, Chinese-language films absolutely flourished in Europe.

It came to power in 04, and from the following year onwards it won three consecutive Golden Lion awards. The Venice Golden Lions in 05, 06 and 07 were all won by Chinese.

In 08, I kept a low profile for a year because I was afraid of being kicked out.

He succeeded in 09 and prepared to make a comeback.

If nothing unexpected happens, this year will be his last year as the curatorial chairman of Venice. Lao Ma will definitely exercise his last power to tear the award for the Chinese.

The original timeline was to win a Silver Lion for Best Director and a Silver Lion for Best Actress.

Cai Shangjun in "People Mountain People Sea" and Deanie Ip in "A Simple Life".

This year, it is expected to be even more bloody.

But no matter what, this is Chen Jin's chance. Only if he gets one can he strive for the second and third. If he fails to get this one, it will not be so easy to strive for international awards in the future.

The reason why Chen Jin wanted to win a trophy in the white people's territory was not to cater to them, but for the current domestic market.

The three major awards are still very valuable.

After hanging up the phone with Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Jin sent a message to Han Sanpin and then walked into the set.

Less than half an hour later, Guo Xun shouted with relief.

"So Young" was filmed for 2 months and officially wrapped up!
"Oh oh oh!"

A crowd of people were screaming, and the entire crew relaxed at once.

“What a joy!”

“It’s much better than the previous Lost on Journey!”

After staying there for a month, Tian Yusheng could clearly feel the difference between Guo Xun's crew and those of other directors.

Especially those old stubborn people in Hong Kong.

First of all, the cast is young and united, and the entire crew works together. Although Guo Xun has abnormal demands and often works overtime, he never loses his temper or complains, and he gets every penny of bonuses and overtime pay.

There is also the vitality of the young actors, and their attitude is different from that of many old-time Hong Kong actors.

It is said that Hong Kong actors are dedicated, but in fact the quality of the people behind the scenes is uneven; and in fact, many unknown actors in the mainland are also very hardworking.

The celebrities and young stars who are promoted by capital and show off their wealth are the ones who lack professionalism.

Many domestic actors are generally very good and humble.

The staff in particular worked very hard, from morning to night. Although they had complaints, they only complained verbally for the sake of the money. If they were really asked to go to other crews, they would not do it!

So this crew gave Tian Yusheng a really good feeling.

When shooting, you need to have the attitude of shooting.

After the filming was over, they were just friends. No one was afraid of Guo Xun and the actors could even joke with him and have meals with him.

This is what he imagined the crew would look like.

He finally understood why Chen Jin invested without hesitation. His trust in Guo Xun was unmatched by other investors.

"Old Tian, it's time for the wrap-up party!"

"Let's join in the evening!"

Guo Xun said to Tian Yusheng who was packing up, Tian Yusheng hummed and whispered: "Is it really impossible for Brother Jin to play the role in my new play?"

“No chance!”

Guo Xun said directly: "I think we can find Qin Junjie and Li Xian. Li Xian is a good actor and looks good too!"

"The male lead is quite suitable!"

The two actors have currently signed on to Film Science.

"All right!"

“I just feel like with Brother Jin around, the box office might be better!”

As a new director, of course he has mysterious confidence in famous actors, because who doesn’t want his first film to set a new box office record, just like Guo Xun.

"Brother Jin has his aspirations!"

"If it weren't for the IP of Lovelorn, he wouldn't have come to shoot the second part!"

This is indeed true.

That was the strong request from Alibaba and Didi, otherwise Chen Jin would not want to shoot this drama.

The two of them chatted while sealing the box.

At this time, Chen Jin also received the message from Han Sanpin.

Just now, "The Founding of a Party" broke the Chinese domestic film box office record of 2 million set by "Let the Bullets Fly" in February this year, and officially topped the throne of China's domestic film box office champion!
"Yes!"

Chen Jin clenched his fist.

It’s really a double happiness…oh, no, it’s a triple happiness.

"Life Events" was shortlisted for the main competition in Venice, "So Young" was completed, and "The Founding of a Party" now has a box office record.

"Today's wrap-up party is on my table..."

Chen Jin waved his hand and was just thinking about treating everyone, but then he realized that it was actually his treat in the first place.

“Give out bonuses!”

"Everyone will get an extra 500 bonus for finishing the game!"

Mr. Chen is so generous.

boom!
The whole crew was instantly in an uproar. Lin Genxin and the others exchanged glances, then rushed towards Chen Jin and threw him up!
