The Undisputed No. 1 at the Box Office!
Chapter 529 The Undisputed Box Office King!
Jingle Bell--
Recently.
Chen Jin's phone was ringing non-stop.
Besides the congratulations from industry insiders, Chen Su reported on the box office record of "Fast & Furious 6".
Every now and then, Vin Diesel would call.
It's Chen Su again.
It's clear that Chen Su was very pleased with the success of "Fast & Furious 6".
He casually pressed the answer button, and Chen Su's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother Jin, Gao Xiaosong is asking if we need to cast a role?"
Since Chen Jin took on the project "My Old Classmate", Gao Xiaosong and Guo Fan have been working hard to prepare for it.
Given the importance of casting, Chen Jin definitely needs to be involved.
After all, they are a major partner.
Furthermore.
This work was originally a resource that Chen Jin gave to Zhu Yanmanzi.
Chen Jin naturally has a lot of say in filming and pre-production, so it's only natural to invite her to participate in the selection of supporting actors.
"can."
The release date for "My Old Classmate" is April 25, 2014, so it's time to move into pre-production.
After all, completing a work is not as simple as just filming.
After casting is completed, script polishing, makeup tests, and so on are still required.
There are many more situations where I need to be busy.
After confirming the casting date with Chen Su, the two hung up the phone.
Recently.
The box office performance of "Fast & Furious 6" remained flat, but it was still a result that other films could only dream of.
Summer vacation is still ongoing.
With students on holiday, there's no need to worry about the box office performance of "Fast & Furious 6".
Based on this calculation, the schedule for the second half of the year is quite full.
Not to mention "John Wick 2," which has already finished its early preparations, Marvel's Quicksilver is also scheduled to start filming at the end of the year.
Zhu Yanmanz was lying on her side on the bed, her gaze falling on Chen Jin, who was sitting on the balcony with her eyes closed, resting.
The sunlight streamed down.
It was as if he had been gilded.
When Chen Jin received Gao Xiaosong's request for collaboration, she had already informed Zhu Yanmanz that she would be filming "My Old Classmate" next.
now.
The feeling was undoubtedly one of anticipation.
Almost every film she shot was carefully selected by Chen Jin.
Compared to other actors of the same period, he was still encountering setbacks everywhere.
Zhu Yanmanzi is clearly much happier.
When Chen Jin looked up, he met Zhu Yanmanzi's gaze. He didn't know what was wrong with this girl lately; she would stare at him absentmindedly from time to time.
By the time Zhu Yanmanz came to her senses, the light in front of her had been completely blocked.
Chen Jin stood in front of her, bending down slightly to look at her.
"What are you thinking about? You didn't even know I was coming."
Upon hearing the question from the person in front of her, Zhu Yanmanzi completely covered herself with the blanket.
We can't exactly let her say bluntly, "Having a boyfriend like Chen Jin is really great, isn't it?"
"Shall I go home with you tomorrow and stay for two days?"
As soon as Chen Jin finished speaking, the person who had just been covering herself with the blankets lifted her head.
"Really?"
Even within the same city, it takes two hours to get from Chen Jin's home to hers.
They had only been back for a short time, so Zhu Yanmanz naturally hoped that Chen Jin could spend some quality time with his family.
"of course it's true."
"We haven't had a chance to visit our uncle and aunt since we came back from Los Angeles."
"Didn't we bring them gifts too?"
Zhu Yanmanz hugged Chen Jin in front of her.
She always believed that love was mutual, and Chen Jin seemed to always be able to guess what she was thinking.
After finishing my journey home, it's time to get back to work.
I've arranged to hold casting for Gao Xiaosong in early July, so I'm sure I'll be very busy then.
the next day.
Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz got up a little earlier than usual.
"Have you brought everything? Say hello to me and Zizi's mother when you get there."
"Tell her to come over to play whenever she's free. I'm just idling around anyway, and it'll be more lively with lots of people at home."
Su Wanyu was busy helping the two of them tidy up.
He would occasionally offer a few words of explanation.
Chen Jin looked at her mother from the side, her expression somewhat melancholy.
The journey wasn't long, but it felt like we were going on a long trip.
"understood!"
I will definitely pass on your message.
Chen Jin dragged Zhu Yanmanz's suitcase, which contained a silk scarf and necklace she had bought for Yan Ning in Los Angeles, as well as wine she had brought back for Zhu's father.
Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law had such a good relationship, Su Wanyu was naturally happy.
Only after the car gradually disappeared from sight did Su Wanyu reluctantly return to her room.
"The room felt empty after those two kids left."
Su Wanyu sighed.
However, it's much better than before, since this time I didn't have to rush out of the house.
Chen Jin drove towards her mother-in-law's house.
As for Yan Ning, she was naturally happy to learn that the two children would be home soon.
After all, almost a month has passed since the day I went to North America.
The car entered the entrance of the residential area.
Mr. Zhu had already noticed the two children appearing from the window.
"came back."
"Why has Zizi lost weight again?"
Mr. Zhu felt a pang of heartache, after all, she was the girl he had cherished since she was a child.
Yan Ning ignored Zhu's father.
He walked quickly towards the door.
The moment the door opened, Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz stepped out of the elevator.
"Mom~"
It's been over a month since we last met, so it would be a lie to say I don't miss her.
"Xiao Chen, come in quickly."
"Your aunt has already prepared all the dishes and has been looking forward to seeing you all for a long time."
The mother and daughter became so engrossed in each other upon meeting that they completely ignored Chen Jin.
Chen Jin changed her shoes.
He handed the wine he had brought back from Los Angeles to Zhu's father.
Most artists are like that; they occasionally enjoy a drink or two.
As for Zhu's father, he was no exception.
"Xiao Chen, Auntie made you steamed fish today. Come and try it and see if it suits your taste."
Yan Ning led the two children to the dining table.
It's clear that she's in a great mood today.
"It suits my taste."
"I've been craving this steamed fish while I was abroad, and I'm so glad I finally got to eat it this time."
Hearing Chen Jin's words, Yan Ning smiled and nodded.
Both he and Zhu's father were quite satisfied with Chen Jin, their future son-in-law.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.
With him around, even his daughter's career has been thriving.
If it were any other actor, they would probably still be struggling as an extra.
"Come on! Let's have a couple of drinks today, you and me."
As he spoke, Zhu's father poured the already decanted wine into Chen Jin's cup.
"Xiao Chen just sat down at the table, how can you ask him to drink without eating any food?"
Yan Ning stopped Zhu's father from moving and casually picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Chen Jin's bowl.
"Eat more vegetables."
"I've finally come back, so I'll stay home for a few more days this time."
Zhu Yanmanz had already told Yan Ning about their recent work schedule. When she learned that they didn't have any filming work for the next month, the mother was naturally very happy.
This proves that the child can finally stay home for a couple more days. You know...
Throughout the entire year, the number of days the two children spent with him could be counted on one hand.
It would be a lie to say that I don't feel bad.
I toil and struggle every day, watching myself grow thinner and thinner, yet I am powerless to do anything about it.
"it is good!"
Seeing Chen Jin's quick reply, Yan Ning was in a great mood.
Full of wine and food.
Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz did not immediately return to their room, but instead sat in the living room chatting with Yan Ning and Zhu's father.
"Your uncle and I even went to the cinema to see 'Fast & Furious 6'."
"No wonder it's been so popular online lately; the scenes in it really gave us a fright."
"Xiao Chen, pursuing your dreams is very important."
"But you must remember to protect yourself."
Upon hearing Yan Ning's words, Chen Jin nodded emphatically.
Actually.
He considers things carefully before doing anything, and only takes action when he is 100% safe.
After all, he's his daughter's boyfriend.
Yan Ning felt a pang of sorrow as she watched those breathtaking scenes.
"Young people nowadays are more measured in their actions."
"The two kids have finally come home, let's talk about something happy."
Yan Ning nodded.
They chatted until late at night, and seeing that Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz were yawning, Yan Ning urged them to go and rest.
I have things to do tomorrow.
Guo Fan invited Chen Jin and the others to a small gathering. Taking advantage of this time, Chen Jin prepared to give Guo Fan the script for "The Martian".
prior to.
When he acquired the copyright to this work, he planned to tell Guo Fan the news.
However, there has never been any spare time.
Since both of them happen to be free now, perhaps they can discuss how this movie should be made.
Sci-fi masterpieces are a genre that both of them enjoy.
Try your best.
Maybe we can come out on top.
After all, The Martian was quite a hit at the time.
If it's filmed, it might achieve the same level of popularity as "Fast & Furious 6".
With that thought in mind, Chen Jin fell asleep contentedly.
buzzing-
The phone rang non-stop early in the morning.
Zhu Yanmanzi had already quietly entered Chen Jin's room, and then picked up a feather and brushed it under Chen Jin's nose.
The person on the bed suddenly opened their eyes.
The two locked eyes instantly.
In general, there are some rules to follow at Zhu Yanmanzi's house, so the two of them slept in separate rooms last night.
Chen Jin pulled Zhu Yanmanzi onto the bed, and then pinched the face of the person in front of her.
"Telephone!"
"It's been ringing for a long time."
With nowhere to escape, Zhu Yanmanzi could only try to get Chen Jin's attention to other things.
It was Guo Fan.
This kid is never idle for a moment.
"Mr. Chen, are you awake yet?"
"I can't wait to see you."
Guo Fan disturbed Chen Jin's peaceful sleep so early in the morning; he should be glad that Chen Jin wasn't grumpy when he woke up.
"woke up."
"Send me your location, and I'll go there with Zizi in a bit."
After hearing Chen Jin's words, the latter readily hung up the phone.
After a quick wash, Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi changed into more casual clothes.
Previously, when attending events outside, I was always dressed in either a suit and tie or a haute couture evening gown.
It is beautiful, but it gives people a very strong sense of constraint.
The two traveled light.
He then drove to the location designated by Guo Fan.
Even when they weren't working, it felt like the two of them never had a moment of leisure.
The car was parked at Hongbinlou Restaurant.
This restaurant, which has a history of 100 years, looks exceptionally grand and magnificent.
The two had just gotten off the car.
Guo Fan was already waiting at the door, seemingly having been waiting for quite some time.
"Mr. Chen."
"Wow, congratulations!"
"It's truly admirable that 'Fast & Furious 6' has achieved such great success."
Glib tongue.
Chen Jin was somewhat helpless. He had told Guo Fan a long time ago not to call him President Chen, but clearly Guo Fan hadn't taken his words to heart.
In other words.
I just wanted to tease him with that nickname.
"Your fame is quite different now."
"When I invite you to dinner, a hundred or so people want to meet up with you."
As soon as Guo Fan finished speaking, he opened the door to the private room in front of him.
Look around.
Most of the people from the last gathering were present, and the moment they noticed Chen Jin's appearance, they quickly stood up to greet her.
"Brother Jin."
"I haven't even had a chance to congratulate you yet, but Fast & Furious 6 is already on track to reach 30 billion at the box office!"
"You're amazing."
Before Chen Jin arrived, Dilraba and the others were already discussing this issue.
at this time.
Chen Jin can be considered the undisputed number one box office star in China.
While the earlier Fast & Furious films were popular, they didn't achieve particularly outstanding results.
This time.
Chen Jin's addition has clearly injected fresh energy into the company.
As a result, box office revenue in both North America and China has been rising sharply.
Chen Jin nodded slightly.
The crowd had already gathered around. In the entertainment industry today, who wouldn't want to have a good relationship with Chen Jin?
Putting everything else aside, its resources are definitely top-notch.
It can be said.
Even if Chen Jin throws away what he doesn't want to them, it would still be a hundred times better than their current resources.
After greeting everyone present, Chen Jin took her seat surrounded by them.
Zhang Yimou is still not here.
He rarely appears at such moments. After all, as a big director in the entertainment industry, he has many things to do and certainly doesn't have time to fool around with them.
"Brother Jin, let me toast you."
Gulnazar raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.
She's just as famous as Dilraba Dilmurat right now; all she lacks is a blockbuster movie.
only.
Resources are certainly not easy to obtain.
If we could get in touch with Chen Jin, we might be able to get some resources.
They definitely need to get more exposure now; only by making the public remember them can they have a chance to become an overnight sensation.
Chen Jin finished the wine in her glass.
He had originally planned to meet with Guo Fan today to discuss the script for "The Martian".
Although I know that Guo Fan is currently focusing more on "The Wandering Earth", between the two works, "The Martian" is definitely more popular.
Everyone shared as many interesting things that had happened recently as possible.
Chen Jin responded casually, occasionally picking up food from in front of her and putting it into Zhu Yanmanzi's bowl.
This scene.
It made everyone present envious.
Chen Jin is now in a very high position, but she is still very considerate towards Zhu Yanmanzi.
In their eyes, Zhu Yanmanz had truly struck gold!
