The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

"Brother Dai?"

"What are you doing?"

Li Ze glanced at Chen Yu who was eating big food in front of him, thought for a while, and felt that he had nothing to worry about, so he said directly, "I'm going to eat hot pot with Chen Yu."

"Oh..." Dai Weidong on the other side of the phone said, "Let me tell you something, I turned down the film of 'Hongye Films' that I was supposed to accept, and changed to another drama."

"Why?" Li Ze was a little curious.

The so-called 'Red Leaf Films' is a mid-range film production company in the domestic film industry. The film that is about to be produced has an investment of about 70 million yuan, and the cost is not high. But this is an urban drama, the cost is not high and it is justifiable, the key is the script, Li Ze still likes it when he sees it.

If such a movie was replaced by a TV series, Li Ze would indeed have some doubts in his heart.

Of course, it's just a question. He trusts his agent Dai Weidong very much. The cooperation over the years has made him clearly realize that Dai Weidong's vision and level are very good. It must be his reason to make him give up such a movie and find him a series to act in.

"The name of the play is "The Judgment of Kyushu". It is adapted from a novel and made by the company. There is a conflict with your movie's schedule, so I simply rejected it."

"Okay." Hearing this introduction, Li Ze didn't ask any questions, and nodded decisively in agreement.

So far, if there is anyone who is most superstitious about Dimension Entertainment's self-made works, it must be the group of contracted artists of "Dimension Brokerage". And Li Ze himself is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the works produced by Dimension Entertainment, and Chen Yu, who is sitting in front of him at this moment, wants to remove the word "one".

It has been several years since he and Chen Yu debuted together. He himself gained a little fame by playing Zhuge Liang in "Fantasy Three Kingdoms"; later, the "Hell Apartment" series made him a firm foothold as a third-tier actor. Relying on the experience of playing the leading role in "The Ruzi Emperor", he has become the absolute number one male lead in a popular TV series, and he has also successfully become the top of the second line.

And the one in front of him is even more legendary. The protagonist of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" made him one of the most popular young actors of the year; later, the "Martial Arts Master" series and the popularity of TV dramas made him a top trafficker, and his acting skills surpassed the market. Those traffic stars on the Internet are much stronger, which also allowed him to squeeze into the ranks of first-line actors.

Not to mention, the recent box office hit of "Martial Arts Grandmaster: Flames of War" has already reached 3.5 billion box office. Through this movie, Chen Yu proved his box office appeal and directly established his position as a top male star.

He became popular very quickly, and became the most enviable person among most of the contracted artists in "Dimension Brokerage", and he was also their biggest role model.

As an artist, no one wants to be popular. And with the role models of Li Ze and Chen Yu in front of them, everyone knows that the best and fastest way to become popular is to act in a film or television drama or movie produced by their own company.

Li Ze himself is relatively indifferent to fame and fortune now, but if there is a chance to advance to a higher level, he will not push it away stupidly, and he is not sick in his mind.

What's more, he is quite confident about the works from the dimension. The past few shoots have been very good experiences. The crew is professional, the shooting process is standard and reliable, and the quality of the final product is also guaranteed. In addition, the company itself will not treat them badly, unlike some vampire brokerage companies, which pay the remuneration fully.

What's not to like about this?

As for the urban drama film of "Hongye Films", if you don't shoot it, you can't shoot it. Although he liked the script quite a bit, he believed that it must not be as good as the one produced by his company.

"Okay, I just want to inform you about the specific situation of this project. Come to the company later and we will talk in detail. You should have a good meal first, and I won't bother you any more."

"Well, then hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu, who was sitting opposite him, picked up his glass, poured himself a sip of beer, and asked, "Brother Dai? Is there a new project?"

"Yeah." The two were friends, and Li Ze didn't feel that he had to hide anything, so he told the story.

Chen Yu sighed, with a gloomy expression on his face: "I also want to shoot this kind of film!"

Judging by his appearance, he doesn't look like a starred work at all, the state that a hugely successful actor who has just achieved a box office of 3.5 billion should be.

Indeed, he is not in a very beautiful mood now. In fact, he called Li Ze to come out at this moment, and he meant to call a good friend to talk to him.

Li Ze shook his head and said, "I really don't know what you are dissatisfied with, now you see what people call you? It doesn't matter what you call 'Xinxing' or 'Little Fresh Meat', just say You are a 'rising superstar'. Comrade superstar, isn't it a bit bad for you to sigh like this?"

"Come on, you." Chen Yu curled his lips and said, "The media is talking nonsense, what's the point of you talking about it? Can my family not know about my family's affairs?"

"Then tell me, what are you worried about?"

"I think I've reached a bottleneck." Chen Yu said, "Look at the things I'm filming now, I really don't have much training on my acting skills. If you really want to talk about fire, it's true, the role of 'Lou Cheng' is very popular, but then So what? Can I rely on this role for the rest of my life?"

"Why not? After ten years, maybe you will be said to be a memory of a generation."

"But I don't want to be like this." Chen Yu said, his face was a bit distressed, "I don't want to rely on a role for the rest of my life, and I don't want people to talk about me in the future and say, 'Is it the one who played Loucheng?', so what's the matter? significance?"

Li Ze smiled and said, "I can understand your thoughts."

"You can't." Chen Yu's ears turned a little red under the urging of alcohol, "Sometimes I envy you...don't laugh, it's true. I've watched all the things you took, and they are very interesting Ah, you have honed your acting skills so well, everyone inside and outside the circle say you are a good actor. Unlike me, when people talk about me, they only know that I am hot. Huo Huo Huo... Huo his sister!"

Li Ze smiled and said, "Even if you are gaining money and fame, you still want virtue. I don't know how many people envy you now. You can ask the newcomers and young artists in the company to see if they want to be you or be I?"

"That's useless!" Chen Yu said, "I'm already like this now, so I have to continue to look higher in life, right?"
