Chapter 166: Ten Billion Movie Emperors!(1/2)

After checking your current acting attributes.

Lin Yuan took a shower and changed into formal clothes. It was soon time to celebrate the final banquet in the evening.

When I arrived at the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel, the scene had been arranged, with a total of eleven tables. Since some actors finished the filming in advance and left the crew, I would definitely not be satisfied with sitting there, but just in case, Director Li still arranged according to the maximum number of people. He did not want anyone standing and having a celebration banquet to happen.

When Lin Yuan came here, he thought he was already early half an hour in advance, but when he saw it, he found that these old actors came earlier than him, and they were sitting together and discussing what they were talking about.

"Lin Yuan, this!" When Lin Yuan appeared at the finishing banquet, Teacher Wu Gang stood up and waved to him, and the other actors also looked in the direction.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan walked towards him directly. When he arrived at the dining table, he sat down and greeted the actors present enthusiastically.

Since there was no opening ceremony at the earliest, today is the first time since Lin Yuan joined the group, he has seen so many actors together at the same time.

More than 30 recognized powerful actors present have taken the lead in the TV series they filmed. Even if they are casually placed in a TV series to be filmed, they are the undisputed protagonists.

But now, these people are willing to be supporting roles, Lu Ye. After seeing this scene, Lin Yuan felt that he had picked up too many attributes. Now it seems that he didn't pick up many attributes.

As he was feeling, everyone chatted for about twenty minutes, and then a noisy sound rang out.

Director Li Lu and Gao Yalin, two general producers, walked in with a dining cart, with thick red envelopes placed on it, and behind them were several staff members talking and laughing.

When everyone saw that the red envelope session was about to begin, they chose to remain silent one by one. In an instant, the entire banquet hall became much quieter.

"Lin Yuan, this is yours. I have worked hard in filming in the past two months. I have been running to the crew every day, and I am more concerned about it than the director, as me."

"Director Li is polite. As an actor, filming is just about work, so there is no need to say anything about hard work."

While being polite, Lin Yuan pinched the red envelope he received. Judging from the thickness, it would have to be at least 50,000.

Through the amount of the red envelope, it is not difficult for Lin Yuan to guess that Director Li was very satisfied with the crew filming, otherwise he would not have invested so much money.

But this is understandable. After all, the TV series that is expected to take at least half a year to finish filming is now finished in less than three months. Time is money. This efficient shooting is a disguised saving the crew a huge sum of money.

Soon, after everyone in the banquet hall received the red envelope, Director Li said a few simple words, which roughly meant to thank everyone. After the speech, everyone also started to move the quickie in their hands in laughter and joy.

Considering that Lin Yuan was going back to Shanghai early tomorrow morning, he had not planned to drink, but he was really stubborn that the old actors present had to drink with them. He just toasted a circle of wine as the leading actor, but Director Li started to cheer on the side, saying that everyone was polite to Lin Yuan, the investor, to have a glass of wine.

After drinking a pound of white wine, Lin Yuan quickly interrupted the enthusiastic old actors in front of him. He just wanted to surrender now.

I thought I had a pretty good alcohol tolerance, but compared with these people, it would be a big mistake.

These old actors are simply amazing when it comes to drinking. Those who don’t know about it thought they had grown up in a wine jar since they were young, and at the age of fifty or sixty, they all drank white wine as tea. How could Lin Yuan withstand this situation?

As Lin Yuan surrendered, Zhang Fengyi took the initiative to chat with him and then spoke.

"Lin Yuan, if there is any play in the future, even if we have a good script, if we encounter a lack of people, you should also think more about it when we invite you."

Zhang Fengyi knew very well that they had accepted Lin Yuan's favor this time. Therefore, if Lin Yuan needed their help, they would definitely repay the favor within their ability.

As for the next half of the sentence, I want to establish a relationship with Lin Yuan in advance. No matter from which perspective, Lin Yuan is worthy of their exchange.

Especially in acting.

Over the past few months of shooting, these old actors have always seen Lin Yuan’s acting skills.

Needless to say, his acting skills are solid, and he is also diligent. He runs to the crew every day. It is no exaggeration to say that the filming progress of this drama is so fast, which has a lot to do with Lin Yuan's actions.

"Of course, if there is a schedule, I am very happy to film with all the seniors." Lin Yuan replied with a smile, but he did not plan to film such a non-profitable movie for the time being. Just kidding, he should have devoted himself to 40 million yuan. If he doesn't make money next time, wouldn't he have to drink the northwest wind?

Of course, the main reason is that his acting skills are basically full now, so if he does not have such a luxurious cast, he would probably not consider such a non-money drama for a long time.

But you still have to say polite words.

But Teacher Zhang Fengyi's words reminded him that if there is a shortage of people in the plays he will take on in the future, he can still ask these veteran actors to come and help.

In his opinion, instead of asking investors to recommend some traffic stars, it is better to let these veteran actors play. Not only can they be easier when filming themselves, but also with the acting skills of these veteran actors, the reputation of the movie will definitely be guaranteed.

After thinking of this, Lin Yuan also used tea instead of wine and toasted these old actors with a cup.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

Many actors in the crew were already drunk. After getting drunk, their assistant helped him back to the hotel.

When the finishing banquet was completely over, Lin Yuan, who was on the way back, suddenly found that there were two more missed calls on his phone. When he opened it, he saw that it was all called by Sister Xia during the meal. Seeing that the missed calls, Lin Yuan called Sister Xia after returning to the room.

"Hey, Sister Xia, I just finished the festival. Is there anything wrong?"

Sister Xia seemed to have something serious to say, and said in a serious tone: "I will come directly to the company after returning to Shanghai tomorrow. If you have something serious to discuss with you."

"Okay, it will be here tomorrow morning." Lin Yuan knew that Sister Xia was very steady and usually spoke in such a serious tone. Then something big must have happened, so he answered seriously.

After agreeing, Lin Yuan couldn't help but gossip and asked curiously: "Sister Xia, can you reveal what is going on first?"

"You will know when you come back, it's related to making money anyway."

Sister Xia did not tell Lin Yuan what was going on the phone, but instead kept it a secret.

Her behavior made Lin Yuan even more curious. With his current situation, there were so many ways to make money, but Sister Xia said so mysteriously that he couldn't figure it out and finally chose not to continue asking. Anyway, he would go back tomorrow, so he would not be anxious about this day.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Leave a sentence, and Lin Yuan and Sister Xia hung up the phone.

......

Time flies very quickly, and the night passes in a flash.

The next morning.

After saying goodbye to Director Li and these old actors, Lin Yuan and his assistant also embarked on the way back.

At eleven o'clock, Lin Yuan returned to the company for a long time.

As Lin Yuan's fame grew, Xitian Media was also a mother who was rich by her son. Not only did the company's scale expand several times, but even some second- and third-tier artists took the initiative to join Xitian. For this reason, his position in the company is getting higher and higher, almost above Chairman Mr. Li.

However, Lin Yuan was not interested in this. He only cared about his own star path. In this way, he arrived at the office with a familiarity.

With his arrival, Sister Xia immediately spoke up.

"It's pretty early to come back."

After saying that, Sister Xia put the documents in her hand aside and looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan spread his hands and looked helpless, and couldn't help but tease: "There's no way. If someone else comes to me, I will definitely ignore it. But Sister Xia wants to see me, then I can only come over."

"Stop talking, there is something to talk about when you come to the company." Sister Xia gave Lin Yuan a blank look and continued: "Do you know who is the most box office actor now?"

"Brother? Stephen Chow? Xu Zheng? Uncle Ge..."

Lin Yuan didn't know why the other party asked this question carefully, but he still answered it subconsciously, but he didn't know who it was, so he had to tell the names of several familiar actors.

The people he mentioned are all starring in movies and are also one of the most well-known people in the country. As for these actors, Lin Yuan doesn't know how many box offices of their movies add up.

When Sister Xia heard his words, she shook her head and slowly said two words: "Huang Bo."

"Brother Bo?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised by Sister Xia’s answer.

In his opinion, the actor with the highest box office now should not be an old-fashioned and powerful actor like Stephen Chow or Uncle Ge?

Stephen Chow and Big Brother are not the highest, and Lin Yuan can understand that when these two starring actors filmed, the box office of the movie was calculated in tens of millions. At that time, the box office could exceed 200 million, which was already a very popular movie.

But Mr. Ge is different. One is the mainland market, and the second is the movies starring "If You Are the One", "The Founding of the Country", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Private Customization"... and other movies, which have exceeded 200 million box offices, or even 500 million box offices.

In this case, the final result was Huang Bo, which was somewhat beyond Lin Yuan's expectations.

However, Lin Yuan quickly realized and immediately asked: "Sister Xia, what does this have to do with me?"

As Lin Yuan's words popped out of his mouth, Sister Xia couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She looked at Lin Yuan with suspicion on her face, then asked, "Have you not been online to read the news in the entertainment industry recently?"

As a celebrity, watching the dynamics in the circle is a daily thing to do, but Lin Yuan did not know about a big thing that happened in the entertainment industry recently, which made Sister Xia unable to help but be surprised.

Lin Yuan scratched his head awkwardly. In fact, this cannot be blamed. If he had filmed in the past, he would have had time to check his phone every day, but he basically had no free time in filming the drama "In the Name of People".

Every day, I either pick up attributes in the crew, study my own roles, or chat with other veteran actors about the plot. I was busy until the night, and I didn’t even touch my phone when I got home, so I fell asleep. The high-intensity work gave him time to watch the news in the entertainment industry.

Let’s talk about Sister Xia. When she saw Lin Yuan’s expression, she was sure that Lin Yuan had not paid attention to what happened in the entertainment industry recently. After knowing this, she didn’t keep it in mind. She immediately explained: “I’ll tell you briefly.”

"First of all, there is a storm in the film and television industry, a storm about [10 billion movie masters]."

"Last month, Huang Bo was released in a movie starring, and received nearly 200 million yuan in box office. Together with the box office of the movie starring him before, he had a total of 4.3 billion yuan in box office. This data is the highest cumulative number of box offices at present, and it is also the most likely actor to become the first 10 billion yuan box office in the next few years."

Lin Yuan listened carefully to Sister Xia and was shocked when he learned that Brother Bo had accumulated a box office of 4.3 billion.

However, in addition to being shocked, he quickly realized that Huang Bo's movie "Lost in Thailand" alone had a box office of more than one billion. In addition, movies such as "Journey to the West", "The Heart of Flowers", "Dear", and "No Man's Land", it is normal for the box office to exceed 4 billion.

But after Sister Xia finished talking about this, Lin Yuan was still a little puzzled: "But Sister Xia, what does this have to do with me?"

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Sister Xia didn't know what to say about Lin Yuan for a moment. Considering that Lin Yuan was not paying attention to this matter, she also explained it in detail to Lin Yuan: "Do you know how this topic was spread?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"This is a topic that Huayi, Light and other top film companies have jointly brought up. First, it is to stimulate consumption in the film market, and second, it is to watch the movie starring the actor who can break the box office for 10 billion yuan first. Once the first [10 billion yuan movie emperor] is born, it is not a question of how much fame is improved, but a real issue of interests. Do you understand?"

"So, now, whether it is a powerful actor or a traffic star, they all want to compete for the title of 10 billion actors. It is no exaggeration to say that whoever can get this title is the favorite that capital will win next."

After telling Lin Yuan the story, Sister Xia was also a little dry-mouthed. She picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, then looked at Lin Yuan, wanting to see what he was reacting.

Sister Xia said so much, Lin Yuan probably understood what was going on.

With the increase in consumption levels, the profits in the film market are becoming increasingly large, which can be seen intuitively from the box office of the movie.

In the past, a movie had a box office of several million or tens of millions, and it was very difficult to break the billion.
