July, New World Retention Month.
Every July and January is the season when New World selects and launches idols.
But this year, a new show stood out.
They are "Actors! Please Prepare" which is almost the same as idol auditions, but they select actors.
Moreover, the biggest attraction of "Actors! Please Prepare" is the No. 1 in the New World.
After entering July, "Actors! Please Prepare" discussed with New World and decided to come up with the biggest gimmick.
The popularity of the third season of "Summer of Idols" had already been declining. The content of the show aired in July was relatively bland, and New World was waiting until August to unleash all the accumulated energy and bring "Summer of Idols" to its climax.
Giving July to other programs is also a good choice, after all, there are benefits after the exchange.
This time, the gimmick of "Actors! Please Prepare" is a gimmick that all the fans in the entertainment industry cannot refuse.
After "The Voice of Dark Gold", Chen Yin once again appeared on the same stage with Han Zhou.
In "Voice of Dark Gold", Han Zhou turned hostile on the spot and used a song "Song of Mortals" that fans still talk about today to expose the inside story and operation of the program, and stepped on Chen Yin.
After that, the two of them went on two completely different paths from an intersection.
After the show, Han Zhou gained more and more fans and became invincible on the big screen!
Next he became the director of the Spring Festival Gala, and then went international, becoming a global superstar.
And what about Chen Yin?
On the show, Chen Yin was helped by the company to advance to the finals, but Rang Bing directly warned him that if he dared to play tricks in the finals, Rang Bing would use all his energy to make Chen Yin finished.
So Chen Yin suffered a lot in the finals, but after participating in such a highly popular program as "The Voice of Dark Gold", all the participating singers kept in touch very frequently, and in the next two years they often participated in activities in the entertainment industry together, and their popularity was getting higher and higher.
But Chen Yin was excluded.
After Chen Yin's company discovered that Chen Yin's attempt to create a benchmark for domestic idols had completely failed, they allowed Chen Yin to continue developing along the path of a Korean idol.
But at this time, "Summer of Idols" came, and Lu Jin's popularity was getting higher and higher, which made Chen Yin's team helpless.
Chen Yin's ability to make money has been greatly reduced.
In order to solve this problem, the company thought of the Spring Festival Gala and prepared to arrange for Chen Yin to enter the Spring Festival Gala.
But unfortunately, he met Han Zhou and became the director of the Spring Festival Gala.
This idea failed utterly.
In this case, if it is delayed for another year, Chen Yin will basically have no popularity. Apart from his die-hard fans, he will not receive any attention, and no new fans will come in.
So, Chen Yin’s team started working to get Chen Yin to make a movie.
This is their last chance.
The result was that Lu Jin's "My Sassy Girl" came out of nowhere and became a benchmark for idol movies.
In contrast, Chen Yin's film has become a negative example.
Once upon a time, Chen Yin was Lu Jin's captain. Three years later, after they each returned to their own country, Lu Jin had far surpassed Chen Yin's status.
At this moment, Chen Yin, let alone challenging or colliding with Han Zhou, even compared with Lu Jin's appearance fee, the price was five times lower!!!
Moreover, this movie was so unpopular that even Chen Yin’s die-hard fans were greatly affected. The final box office was over 80 million.
You know, Chen Yin’s pay for this movie was more than 70 million.
The investors suffered huge losses.
After this day, no one dared to invest in Chen Yin's movies anymore.
At this time, Chen Yin had two options.
The first way is to quickly shoot a TV series, create a scandal with a newly popular actress, quickly regain the popularity, and then prepare for a second impact on the film market.
The second way is to hold a large number of fan meetings, make money quickly, and then retire from the circle.
The company gave Chen Yin these two paths, but Chen Yin...didn't choose either one.
Chen Yin could have chosen the first path, but during this period Chen Yin met a girl in the same circle and they quickly established a romantic relationship.
After confirming their relationship, Chen Yin refused to engage in any scandals.
Chen Yin didn't want to choose the second path because he thought he could still work in this circle.
As a result, Chen Yin had a falling out with the company.
Life is like this, when you seem to have reached the end of your rope, there is always a way out.
The falling out with the company caused some passers-by to start treating Chen Yin and his team separately.
"You dare to announce your girlfriend and then fall out with the company. I respect you as a man."
"I don't like his songs, and I don't like watching his plays, but he's not a bad person."
"I have done so many stupid things in the past. I hope I can take care of myself and stop being such an idiot after I leave this company."
In fact, after leaving the company, Chen Yin couldn't act stupid even if he wanted to.
He and the company argued over the contract issue for a whole year.
In the end, they failed to break up peacefully, and instead caused a huge uproar.
During this period, due to the contract, Chen Yin was unable to participate in any form of commercial performances.
But he is not at the level where he can hold a concert.
So, I had no choice but to make a movie.
So, throughout the year, Chen Yin took on six movies.
There is not a single main role, only supporting roles.
A year later, many passers-by have changed their views on him.
Although this guy's acting was terrible at the beginning, there is no sign of it getting worse. On the contrary, some progress can be seen now.
Especially after he fell out with the company and stopped operating as an idol, he no longer needs to carry around the image of an idol, and it feels like his acting skills have improved significantly.
A man who once had top traffic in the country became an ordinary actor in just three years.
During this period, Chen Yin finally resolved the contract.
Chen Yin’s girlfriend tried her best to contact Shanghai TV, hoping to get Chen Yin on a variety show.
In order to stir up the popularity, Director Luo of Shanghai TV had a conversation with Han Zhou and asked if he could invite people who don't get along with Han Zhou.
Han Zhou didn't think at first that there was someone who was at odds with him.
Later, Director Luo said it was Chen Yin. Han Zhou said it was the freedom of Shanghai TV to invite whomever they wanted, and he treated everyone who came to be a student the same.
Therefore, Shanghai TV invited Chen Yin to appear on the show "Actors! Please Get Ready".
In the past few years, Han Zhou has never paid attention to Chen Yin, but that doesn’t mean Chen Yin doesn’t pay attention to Han Zhou.
To be precise, it is hard not to pay attention to Han Zhou if you are in this circle.
What's more, Lu Jin and Chen Yin have a very good relationship. They often play and chat together, and they often talk about Han Zhou. Chen Yin knows Han Zhou much better than other stars in the entertainment industry.
Chen Yin was very sure that Han Zhou would not target him.
However, Chen Yin was also very sure that his acting skills would never be recognized by Han Zhou.
How can just one year of hard work be enough?
On the show, Chen Yin tried his best to perform an excerpt from Lu Jin's "My Sassy Girl".
The audience at the scene all looked like they were watching a show.
The audience in front of the TV was also waiting to see the fun.
Han Zhou, however, kept flipping through documents, and seemed not to be watching the performance nor interested in commenting on it.
Zhao Ziyu spoke first: "Your acting is much better than in the movie 'Battle of the Absolute City' two years ago."
"I'm glad to see that you've made progress. You haven't been the lead actor in a movie this year, but you've been exposed to many roles, and your progress is obvious."
Several other instructors also commented.
When everyone finished their evaluation, the camera turned to Han Zhou, and the others also looked at Han Zhou.
Given Han Zhou’s status, if he didn’t want to comment, then this scene wouldn’t be on the show now and it could just be edited.
Giving the camera the chance to speak means that Han Zhou is about to speak.
Many of Han Zhou’s fans are looking forward to how Han Zhou will curse this time.
After Han Zhou put the documents on the table, he did not curse, but asked a question: "Have you performed on stage in the past year?"
Chen Yin was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment, and finally he sighed and shook his head.
Han Zhou nodded: "For Korean idols, their life is only on the stage."
"Korean idols on stage and off stage are two completely different things."
"But you were shy on this stage, very obviously shy, so I guess you haven't danced or sang on any stage for more than a year."
"Would you like to sing a cappella?"
If there is such an opportunity to perform, why not perform? Even if I get scolded, I don't mind.
Chen Yin directly sang a song by Lu Jin, his own song? He couldn't sing his own song now.
Halfway through the song, although Chen Yin wanted to finish it, he stopped.
He hadn't sung on stage for more than a year, and he finally got the chance to sing, even though it was a cappella. He really wanted to finish singing, but he also knew that even if he finished, it would not be fully edited into the show, and it would also delay the subsequent recording.
Now Chen Yin has learned what it means to be sensible.
Han Zhou clapped his hands after listening to it and said, "You sang well. It's much better than three years ago."
"Your singing level is just barely up to par with second-tier singers."
Chen Yin didn't expect Han Zhou to praise him. At first he lowered his head, ready to be scolded, but now he looked up in surprise.
If three years ago, Chen Yin heard someone say that his singing level was only at the second-tier level, he would definitely jump up and angrily criticize the other person for slandering him.
In fact, after he was no longer able to perform commercial shows, Chen Yin had a hard time and once secretly went to a bar to sing.
The lights were dim, and he was wearing sunglasses and a woolen hat, and sang someone else's song.
The response was mediocre. Even many bar singers did not have such a deserted crowd after their performances.
Chen Yin began to realize how bad he was at singing.
Now when he heard Han Zhou say that he was as strong as a second-tier player, he felt it was a compliment without a doubt.
Seeing Chen Yin standing there in silence, Han Zhou turned a page of the document in front of him and asked, "Have you practiced singing in the past year?"
Chen Yin nodded heavily: "Practice every day."
Han Zhou closed the file, touched his index fingers together, and leaned forward: "So, how much time do you have to practice acting this year?"
Chen Yin was silent for a while, not knowing whether Han Zhou was going to start mocking him, but he started to speak anyway.
Because he has been away from the stage for more than a year, he needs a chance to tell his loyal fans what he is doing.
"In the past year and a half, as long as there is no night scene the day before, I will get up at six in the morning to start warming up my voice by memorizing lines and practicing jingles."
"After you warm up your throat, you can practice your voice, and then practice some vocalizations for drama, for example."
“When I’m not working, I start running after breakfast to maintain my muscles, and then I start practicing my expressions in front of the mirror around 10 o’clock.”
"When I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I will practice my body shape, dance, and then practice my lines."
"Practice the piano every three days."
"After dinner in the evening, I read a book or rehearse lines with an assistant."
Many people at the scene did not expect this, including the audience in front of the TV.
Every question Han Zhou asked seemed to be helping Chen Yin get more shots and accumulate more attention.
Han Zhou nodded: "I saw some of it from the information, and after you said it yourself, I think you are more hardworking than I thought."
In a day, from getting up at six o'clock to going to bed, I didn't have much rest except for eating.
It’s a good thing that he was in his twenties, otherwise he would have died suddenly if he had been in his forties.
Han Zhou: "But your training didn't have much effect."
Previously, both the acting and singing skills were praised by mentors including Han Zhou.
But Han Zhou couldn't praise one person forever.
Han Zhou looked at Chen Yin and said, "Your talent is not that strong. It is impossible for you to maintain your dancing skills, improve your singing skills, and enhance your acting skills in one day."
"Among the people I know, only Wang Chuyang, a lazy guy, can improve his singing and acting skills simultaneously by spending one or two hours every day."
“No one else can do this.”
“You can’t do that either.”
Chen Yin lowered his head.
Once upon a time, I performed on the same stage with him, and I even won, although it was only because the company arranged for a large number of fans to enter the backstage that I won.
But at that time, Chen Yin was so full of vigor and vitality.
Now facing Han Zhou's evaluation, Chen Yin had no extra feelings, no anger, no fear, and even no fear.
I just feel that these years have been wasted.
If you don't move forward, you will move backward.
Han Zhou: "I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"
Chen Yin bowed deeply on the stage: "Teacher Han Zhou, I want to listen."
Chen Yin knew that Han Zhou hadn't scolded him yet, so he probably wouldn't do that. Human time is so precious, why would he spend so much time laying the groundwork and then mocking him?
If I want to scold someone, I will just start scolding him right away.
Therefore, Chen Yin really wanted to know what Han Zhou had to say.
Han Zhou: "Your talent cannot support you being a singer and an actor at the same time."
"If you want to be an actor, don't spend time practicing singing in the future."
"If you want to be a singer, give up being an actor."
"In this way, you still have the possibility of entering the first-tier or even becoming a first-tier strong team. Otherwise, no matter how hard you work, you will only be a second-tier team at best."
All the people in front of the TV who were waiting to see the fight or Han Zhou beating up Chen Yin were stunned.
This is the first time Han Zhou has spoken so politely on this show.
At this moment, Chen Yin was torn between his conscience and his desires.
After a year and a half, did Chen Yin still not understand? He did.
But Chen Yin didn't know how to choose.
He wants to become a singer again and also wants to pursue a career as an actor. This is the best answer to those who once denied him.
But now, he is also confused.
But now, he has a chance to find out.
Chen Yin bowed heavily: "Teacher Han Zhou, which path do you recommend I choose?"
Han Zhou: "Be an actor. If you choose to be a singer, your previous glory will only make you lost and will not help you on your singing career."
“As an actor, you have the opportunity to see yourself clearly.”
"People have to perfect themselves."
“Only by seeing yourself clearly can you have the opportunity to surpass your current self and reach a level that ordinary people cannot reach.”
Chen Yin was stunned.
Han Zhou continued: "You have spent the past five days rehearsing this show, and your acting skills have improved a lot compared to your previous practice of mixing everything together."
"If you keep working so hard, maybe you'll be a qualified actor in three years."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
A qualified actor? You practice every day except eating, and you are barely qualified after three years?
Zhao Ziyu pulled the microphone in front of her: "Han Zhou always calls actors who don't have the strength of first-tier actors unqualified actors."
"It doesn't mean you have to be a first-tier actor to qualify, but you have to have the ability of a first-tier actor to barely qualify."
“So, you can try.”
Han Zhou said that Chen Yin can become a first-line actor within three years. How high is this evaluation?
Once this is said, it will definitely make the headlines.
Han Zhou's words made Chen Yin the new darling in the actor market.
No one understood why Han Zhou wanted to help someone who was once his enemy.
Han Zhou had no choice. Did you know Xu Sanduo? Lu Jin was just like Xu Sanduo, telling Han Zhou every day how difficult and miserable Chen Yin's life was.
Chen Yin had no choice but to accept that the company had done all those things in the past.
It is said that Chen Yin is now much more low-key, not as arrogant as before, not as shameless as before, and also understands propriety, righteousness, integrity and honor.
Anyway, it means that Chen Yin has turned over a new leaf.
Han Zhou feels annoyed whenever he sees Lu Jin recently.
Finally, I told Lu Jin: "If I find that he has really changed during the show, I will do you a favor."
Han Zhou was not helping Chen Yin, but helping Lu Jin.
Who made Lu Jin the sixth in command, and the sixth in command of Han Zhou’s team?
The show ended here, Chen Yin’s segment ended, and the next group of performances began.
Lu Jin was in Han Zhou's office.
Crying loudly.
When Lu Jin was a trainee, he was still a child and was bullied every day in South Korea.
At that time, Chen Yin protected him.
Chen Yin is also very strong. As a Chinese, he became the captain of the entire team and helped the little brat Lu Jin every day.
As time goes by, Lu Jin is now the most famous and popular first-line star, and is known as the top of the top.
Lu Jin wanted to repay a favor, so Han Zhou helped him out. Who told this guy to call Han Zhou "my brother Han"?
Han Zhou felt that he was not very old, but he had already entered the same state as Han Sisheng.
Personal grudges are no longer the primary factor in one's decisions; the development of China's entertainment industry is the top priority.
Han Zhou looked at the report in front of him, and looked at Lu Jin who was crying speechlessly: "Have you finished watching the show?"
Lu Jin turned around, nodded with tears in his eyes.
Han Zhou: "Get out after you're done. I'm so annoyed by your crying."
"Jurassic Park is coming out tomorrow. Can you look forward to it? You're crying in my office."
“If you don’t know, you would think the movie was aborted.”
Lu Jin: "Okay, I'm leaving, Brother Han!"
"Are you going to take me with you to the next one?"
Han Zhou: "Go away first. I'll arrange your affairs when I'm done with you."
After Lu Jin left the office, it was rumored in the office that Lu Jin had gone into Brother Han's office alone, saying that he wanted to take the blame for Chen Yin and that he could kill or chop him up as he pleased.
Then Han Zhou beat Lu Jin up and made Lu Jin cry all the tears in his life.
Then he let Chen Yin go.
Everyone knows that Lu Jin, the second brother of the New World, is brave, loyal and righteous. He is truly the Zhao Zilong in the world, so everyone likes to make friends with Lu Jin.
Isn’t this kind of person worth making friends with?
Lu Jin didn't expect that crying for Chen Yin's miserable life in recent years would make him the most popular senior executive among ordinary employees in the company.
After Han Zhou chased away Lu Jin, the crybaby, he finally had time to deal with things.
The first thing to do is not the road show for the premiere of "Jurassic Park" or anything like that.
Instead, he sent the script of the play "The Childcare" to the drama club and asked Yang Chuan to perform in the play.
In the past two years, Yang Chuan has become the top variety show host in China, and he appears in all kinds of variety shows.
If his reputation were to fall from grace, half of the variety shows in the entire entertainment industry would be taken off the shelves.
But Yang Chuan also felt the bottleneck. Although he loved to learn, to be honest, he had already mastered everything that was useful for variety shows and there was no room for improvement.
Next time I go on a variety show, it’s just the same old thing over and over again.
So Yang Chuan hopes that Han Zhou can let him go out and act.
Han Zhou believed that Yang Chuan was a promising talent. After all, he loved learning so much and could learn everything very quickly.
Therefore, Han Zhou planned to let Yang Chuan go to the drama club to quickly improve his acting skills.
After all, New World will have many movies with not-so-handsome protagonists to be released every year in the future, and Yang Chuan is one of them.
He is ambitious, so let him be ambitious.
The drama club didn't know that their play "Thunderstorm" had just become popular and had been performed for half a year, and then they got a new long-term meal ticket "Childcare".
I just thought it was someone trained by Han Zhou who just wrote a play.
…
International Time Line.
The sun rises from here and heads east.
The Land of Cherry Blossoms, South Korea, and Australia were the first to welcome the sun on August 1st.
The two movies "Jurassic Park" and "Galaxy Shuttle" also premiered in these three countries.
Although "The Seventh Advent" agreed to participate in this war, it backed down in the end.
I was afraid that I would be crushed to death on the first day, so I chose August 3rd.
In this way, no matter which one of "Jurassic Park" and "Galaxy Shuttle" takes the lead, the audience will not miss the third entry "Seventh Coming", which can at least earn perfect box office for two days to avoid too much loss.
But "Jurassic Park" and "Galaxy Shuttle" started to fight!
Han Zhou held its premiere at Luo Wangfu, while Galaxy Shuttle, with half of its cast, premiered in Shanghai.
The two parties will travel to six major markets in China in six days.
On the other hand, Coppola, Timothy, and Chen Dayong led the team in New York, USA, and it was already late at night, ready to hold the premiere after the sun came out.
At the same time, the other half of the cast of "Galaxy Shuttle" were preparing in Los Angeles.
They have planned to hold a roadshow in twelve cities in Europe and America.
The planned city is exactly the same as Han Zhou’s plan.
It's just that everyone has a different order.
However, Jurassic Park has one more event.
At the Yanjing National Opera House, preparations are underway for the concert premiere of the "Jurassic Park Original Soundtrack" album.
It will start at twelve noon.
A large number of industry insiders, music critics and classical music masters from around the world were invited to participate in this performance.
Apart from anything else, the fact that the concert is scheduled to start at 12 noon and end at 11 pm, a full eleven-hour marathon concert, has already aroused the curiosity of many people.
However, there has been no movement on these matters so far.
An hour later, the Huaguo Cinema opened.
After Han Zhou’s premiere, the first movie screenings across the country started almost simultaneously.
Just an hour later.
The competition here was getting very intense, and every audience member in the cinema was exclaiming, screaming, or sighing.
The results from Sakura Country have already come out.
Leather suit drama is the only live-action movie that is still very popular among the citizens of the Land of Sakura.
They watch this movie as an anime!
At this time, a post on the forum had become popular.
"We all drive luxury cars like Sanhai and Anadi, and you drive Inoue, you deserve to be stuck in traffic!"
Many Japanese people made some jokes in it.
The young people in the Land of Sakura wish that the older generation would die quickly. Companies like Inoue Motors, where most of the employees are in their 40s, 50s or even 60s, are often criticized.
Now that we have this topic, it will explode immediately.
"It's a complete loss. Only the old guy's Inoue Tetsuji has become a synonym for cheap cars, while my father's new car brand is getting more and more powerful."
"The scene in the drama where the Shanhai is chased by the Tyrannosaurus Rex and flies directly over the cliff is really shocking. Not only can we no longer produce special effects, we can't even make this kind of car."
"It's worthy of being my dad's movie."
"Han Zhou's work is really amazing. No wonder Naruto Sage ranked first in the ratings."
Many people who hadn’t seen the movie but were preparing to watch it were surprised when they heard some of the plot accidentally revealed by people who had seen it: “It sounds like it’s going to be great!”
"I've already bought the tickets. You who haven't bought your tickets yet must be jealous. You may not be able to buy any tickets!"
"The one o'clock show in Sri Lanka is sold out, so I bought the three o'clock show."
"Oh shit, are we too late to buy tickets now? Is this a live-action movie or an animation? After all, the dinosaurs are all special effects."
"You don't understand this, I have a college classmate who works in the New World's Sakura office. I heard that this kind of movie is made with leather suits. New World is planning to make a leather suit special effects drama specifically for our fans in Sakura Country."
"Ah! As expected of my favorite superstar, he is so nice that he even prepared a drama just for us!"
"What I'm saying is that we should let those who deserve to make money make some progress. Let's not make live-action movies anymore. We should just watch the live-action movies made in China. If you don't look closely, they look pretty much like us anyway."
"Yeah, you can't see bowed legs when you run anyway/DOG.jpg"
The public relations department of Inoue Motors was furious.
As the Inoue Group, they were unable to stop the release of this movie.
Because the distributor of Sakura Country is the Panasonic Group, which has reached a strategic cooperation with New World, they are all aware that New World is planning to dominate the Sakura Country market in terms of animation and children's dramas, and the Panasonic Group really wants this piece of fat meat.
But they didn't expect that after the movie was released, it quickly had a huge impact on Inoue Motors.
The forums are now full of comments like “You drive a crappy Inoue car, no wonder you’re stuck in traffic.”
At the same time, in South Korea, the vast majority of viewers went to see Jurassic Park just to see Han Zhou.
Although Han Zhou has never been to South Korea and has never written songs for South Korea, Korean fans just like Han Zhou. His popularity has surpassed that of South Korea's number one idol group. Who can they complain to?
Judging from the statistics from both sides, in the Land of Sakura and South Korea, the pre-sale box office of "Jurassic Park" so far has surpassed that of "Galaxy Shuttle".
In Australia, "Jurassic Park" narrowly won.
It’s only the first day, and the film has only been released in four markets, and it’s like this.
Universal was anxious and urgently approved 100 million US dollars in publicity and promotion funds to start promotion.
Han Zhou learned the news while he was still watching a movie in the cinema.
One hundred million US dollars is enough for Han Zhou to make "Jurassic Park 2".
Han Zhou will definitely not follow the publicity and promotion.
Because once this movie is released, there will be no need for publicity and promotion.
The debut of the suit movie in this world completely subverts the sense of reality imagined by the audience of this world. Combined with the second-rate special effects, the combined effect is even more shocking than Hollywood monster movies.
This kind of shock does not need any publicity, the audience will promote it themselves.
Han Zhou now just wants to know whether fans’ spontaneous promotion can outperform Universal’s US dollars.
In other words, how much US dollars can Universal spend to promote the film to such a large audience?
