This star is going to the moon

Chapter 2 Professional Analysis and Amateur Betting

"The entertainment industry is too deep, you can't grasp it."

Liu Chun said to Lu Yun seriously, "It's not that easy to choose a script. I'm taking this opportunity to tell you..."

Then came the words like "the sequel curse", "Wu Jing lacks control as a new director", "how to make a blockbuster with such a small investment", and "domestic audiences are more strict with domestic films".

After saying this, Liu Chun put forward his biggest evidence.

"...The main thing is that many well-known male stars turned down auditions for Wolf Warrior 2. Only Zhang Hanhai, wanting to shed his 'domineering CEO' image, considered giving it a try. Just think about how little optimism this movie received!"

Then he changed the subject, raised his glasses with one hand and said confidently: "But 'Li Lei Han Meimei' is different!"

"The film's protagonist, a character from an English textbook, happens to be a memory for the younger generation, and this generation is currently the main consumer group, so the adapted film has a high probability of becoming a hit."

"What's more, 'Li Lei and Han Meimei' is your comfort zone for youth campus themes, and the audience is familiar with you. This is a great opportunity for you to become the leading male role..."

Lu Yun listened to Liu Chun's professional analysis with a dark face.

He finally got a chance to live again, and if he fails again, it would be a shame to give him the rebirth ticket given by God!

What do those brothers who don’t have coupons think about this?
However, it is really difficult to get rid of Liu Chun's blind command. First, Lu Yun cannot afford the penalty for breach of contract and cannot leave the company immediately.

Secondly, even if you can leave the company by taking the civil service exam, you will still be controlled and act in bad movies before you get a job.

So there must be a method that is free and works quickly...

Looking at Liu Chun's confident analysis, Lu Yun suddenly thought of something, and then he searched the Internet on his mobile phone and found the information he wanted.

'Yes! '

After thinking of a solution, Lu Yun organized his words, then walked over to Liu Chun, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Liu, you are different from others. Don't waste your time choosing scripts."

Liu Chun: “?”

Before he could think about it, Lu Yun said again: "Brother Liu, how about we make a bet?"

Liu Chun immediately became curious.

"What bet?"

Lu Yun held up his phone and said, "Look at this!"

"'The Legend of the Gods' opens tomorrow. The film company claims it's the summer blockbuster with the best chance of becoming a hit. The first-day target is 2 million yuan, and the final target is 25 billion yuan!"

After reading the headline, Liu Chun looked at Lu Yun and said, "It's normal news. What's wrong?"

"Do you think the first-day box office of "The Legend of Gods" can reach 2 million?" Lu Yun asked.

"You want to bet with me on this?"

Liu Chun smiled crookedly. He really liked betting, especially in areas he was familiar with.

"It's been heavily promoted, and it's brought together so many celebrities from across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The special effects were created by a Hollywood team, so audiences won't be disappointed whether they're watching the stars or the special effects, so a 2 million yuan opening day is not a problem."

Lu Yun shook his head when he heard this: "I don't think it will even reach 1 million on its first day."

"Hey!"

Liu Chun lazily leaned back on the sofa and looked at Lu Yun: "I'm analyzing it carefully with you, but you're just guessing at me, right? Then it's meaningless even if I win."

"Just tell me whether you want to bet or not," Lu Yun said seriously, "If you win, I'll treat you to a feast at Wangjiang Pavilion!"

"If you lose, you don't have to treat me to a meal, but you have to listen to me when it comes to future roles."

Hearing Lu Yun say this, Liu Chun sat up straight: "Although a meal at Wangjiang Pavilion is expensive, if you want to change the dominant position between the two of us, isn't it a bit unfair?"

Lu Yun still said the same thing: "Just tell me whether you want to gamble or not!"

"bet!"

Liu Chun raised his glasses with a finger and said, "But let's change the terms. You're just betting on the first day's box office, so I can only agree to give you the lead for one scene."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun's lips curled slightly and he immediately pressed the button, pretending to be proud and saying, "Okay, wait until I win the first day's box office, and then I'll bet with you on the final box office!"

In comparison, Liu Chun was truly proud: "Haha, just wait for you to treat me to a meal, I don't even know how I lost."

"'The Legend of the Gods' is a genuine domestic blockbuster, with a budget of over 5 million yuan. Stars like Liang Jiahui, Gu Tianle, Li Lianjie, Huang Daming, Fan Bingxue, Hao Wenzhang, and Yang Baobao are all in the cast, as well as Long Shiwu, the son of producer Long Wu. It's a truly remarkable cast of big names from across Taiwan, Mainland China, and Hong Kong!"

"The special effects company also hired the 'Four Guardians' of Hollywood, whose representative works are 'Star Wars', 'Transformers', 'Avatar' and 'Iron Man'."

"Given the overwhelming publicity and the 25 billion yuan target, let alone 2 million yuan on the first day, even 3 million yuan is possible. This is the box office law of blockbuster movies."

"Even if it can't beat Stephen Chow's 'The Mermaid' during the Spring Festival, it will have no problem getting into the top three of the year's box office. The only threat is Zhang Mouyi's co-production 'The Great Wall' at the end of the year..."

To be honest, Liu Chun's professional ability is absolutely impeccable. He can recite these data like naming dishes. Lu Yun nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

However, being professional does not mean that you can see things accurately or even see through the essence.

Take "The Legend of Gods" for example. No matter how awesome its configuration is, it cannot make up for the fact that it is a terrible movie.

It’s even possible that someone knew it was a lump, and so wrapped it in gold foil to deceive people.

Obviously, Liu Chun was the one who was deceived.

In his previous life, Lu Yun had failed under the guidance of a professional like Liu Chun, but in this life, he would never fall into the same trap again! As Liu Chun used information to increase his "must-win" attribute like calling out the names of dishes, Lu Yun also started checking the news on his phone, trying to wake up his already blurred memories.

[Leonardo DiCaprio finally won the Oscar for Best Actor…]

[The Falcon 9 launch vehicle successfully recovered at sea for the first time...]

[Basketball superstar Kobe Bryant retires...]

[The Brexit referendum is about to take place...]

Wu Fan's contract is embroiled in a controversy over a sex agreement, which may affect the box office and ratings of "So Young"...

Wu Fan's studio issued a statement claiming that the story of a certain internet celebrity forcing him to pay for publicity was completely fabricated, and a lawyer's letter has been sent...

[The male lead of the movie "To You" Wu Fan was absent from the roadshow, and the female lead An Fangfei interacted with the second male lead Lu Yun...]

At the roadshow for the movie "To You," a frenzied male fan rushed towards An Fangfei, and Rowan heroically saved her...

The film "Legend of the Gods" is about to be released and may set a new summer box office record...

Due to personnel changes at the production company, the release of the science fiction film "The Three-Body Problem" has been postponed...

Lu Yun discovered that most of the key information in his memory was in the film and television industry. When he thought about it carefully, it made sense, after all, he worked in this industry in his previous life.

In that case, not only does he have to prove that he is not "box office poison" and has to re-enter the film and television industry, but he also has to be in the film and television industry if he wants to make money.

Because he really doesn't pay much attention to the ways to make money in other industries. If he changes his career rashly, he might end up failing even more than in his previous life!

The starting point of this life depends on "Wolf Warrior 2", and he needs to establish his own name first.

Just in time, the script was sent to me.

Originally, Liu Chun just wanted to find out some information about "Wolf Warrior 2" from his friends and then teach Lu Yun a lesson, but he didn't expect Lu Yun to use "Wolf Warrior 2" to make a bet.

Is this the college graduate who combines the two states of "fearlessness" and "clear stupidity"?

It seems that I have to take this lesson and highlight my professionalism and importance as a broker.

"As an actor, you just need to focus on acting, but as an agent, I have a lot more to consider."

Liu Chun lamented, "Although 'Wolf Warrior 2' wasn't well-received, so the role of Zhuo Yifan, the third male lead, wasn't popular, but even if you wanted to act, you wouldn't have much of a chance because Zhang Hanhai was blocking the way."

"Even though you're very popular now, you're still far from being a top star like Zhang Hanhai."

"Also, his acting experience is important. He has appeared in over 30 films and TV series. I can't say his acting is that good, but at least he has his own understanding."

"As for you, even though the director praised your acting skills, that was during a promotional interview. It's impossible for a director to criticize his own movie. In fact, your acting skills are still very immature..."

"My acting is immature?"

Lu Yun said in his heart: "It is precisely because I have confidence in my ten years of acting skills and have seen Zhang Hanhai's real acting skills in "Wolf Warrior 2" that I dare to compete for this role."

"Just wait till your jaw drops..."

Lu Yun was thinking about his acting skills when a line of text suddenly appeared in front of him.

【Physical Performance Level 3 (911/1000)】

"Lie..."

Lu Yun was startled by the sudden appearance of the suspended text. Although he held back his exclamation halfway, it still attracted Liu Chun's attention.

"What do you mean by me? Do you think what I said is wrong?"

"Wow... I think my acting is okay."

"What's okay? It's not even close. The acting teacher I hired for you will be here tomorrow. You better learn well..."

Qimingxing Company and Liu Chun have high expectations for Lu Yun.

The domestic entertainment industry entered the era of traffic two years ago. Compared with the new approach of traffic stars buying traffic and selling personalities, Qimingxing Company takes the more traditional approach of actor-stars.

Qimingxing coveted the traffic economy but did not have the determination and capital, so it came up with the Luyun pilot project.

Although there are many illiterate people in the entertainment industry, Lu Yun's bachelor's degree is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, but the "Aerospace School Prince" is an absolute rare card in the entertainment industry!

The only one who is the same as him is his classmate, the school beauty Chen Lingdu.

It’s a pity that Chen Ling is not an artist of Venusstar, otherwise the two rare cards can be combined.

Fortunately, Ro-Woon can do it too. The evidence is that he played the second male lead in two works as an amateur and became famous!

You have to know that there are many unknown actors in the entertainment industry.

There are also actors whose dramas are popular but they themselves are not.

There are even some flops that just won't become popular no matter how much resources you pile up or how much you train them.

Liu Chun felt that since Lu Yun could become popular without any training or resources, if he was carefully trained and then invested in resources...

Then it has to take off.jpg
