The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

After drinking with Lize—mainly because he was drinking—then went home alone.

Throwing himself on the bed, staring at the beautifully decorated ceiling, his slightly dizzy head was filled with many chaotic thoughts.

Chen Yu is hot now, and he knows it himself.

This kind of popularity is a bit different from the overnight popularity of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms". The drama "Martial Arts Grandmaster" has been screened in two parts for a period of one year, and has achieved outstanding results; not to mention, a "Fire of War" has made him stand firm as a movie star.

But the more this is the case, the more guilty he usually feels.

At the beginning, when he just got such a report card, he did feel ecstatic, but he soon came to his senses.

The huge success made him restless.

"Fantasy Three Kingdoms" is very popular, but I have to say that his biggest source of fame now is the character of "Lou Cheng" in "The Grand Master of Martial Arts". Whether it is a drama or a movie, this IP has been created too successfully.

Some people think that it is enough for them to create a character, but Chen Yu is not such a person. He became famous when he was young, and he is not too old now, so he still has greater ambitions.

Now, the public opinion is quite friendly towards him, most of them praise him, and the number of fans has become very large. However, if someone praises, of course someone scolds. Apart from those pure blacks and nonsense people who don't care at all, there are some other criticisms.

These criticisms generally focus on two points, saying that he's "narrow acting path, he can only play the roles of hot-blooded youths and sunny boys", and "the progress in acting skills has been limited in recent years, and it is estimated that this will be the case in the future".

It was quite uncomfortable for those who listened to it, and more importantly, after Chen Yu finished watching it, he even felt a little bit of identification with him.

He is also aware of such a crisis.

He can still play roles like "Lou Cheng" and "Chu Ge" now, and it won't be a big problem to play them for a few more years in the future. Even when he is thirty years old, he will not be under too much pressure to play. After all, the current technology is so advanced, there are many people who are in their thirties who can still call themselves "little fresh meat", and there are many people who act in youth dramas?

But wait until thirty-five? Forty?

Continue to play this role again?

Are you kidding me?

The so-called envy that Chen Yu told Li Ze at the dinner table today was not nonsense. Although, in the eyes of the outside world, he is much more enviable and popular than Lize, but in his own opinion, Lize's path is really good.

He can play "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" in youth costumes, Zhuge Liang is a wise and handsome character; he can also make horror and suspense films like "Hell Apartment", playing Li Yin, calm and restrained.

Especially his performance in "The Ruzi Emperor" is well-known both inside and outside the circle. He played the role of Han Ruzi from being young and ignorant at the beginning, to fighting wits and courage with various forces, and then becoming a majestic emperor in charge of the world. This whole process of growing up was completely displayed under his performance, which is exactly what Chen Yu envied.

And looking back at my role, it seems that nothing has changed.

In fact, in the final analysis, he is a little confused about his current future. Although it seems to have reached the pinnacle of life, there is still a long way to go, and the peak came too early. What a good thing?

He is afraid that those criticisms will come true in the future; he is afraid that he will stop here; he is afraid that when he has to change, there is no way to change...

All in all, the current him, after reaching a peak, still wants to continue to go up. He wanted to continue to make breakthroughs, but he couldn't find the way for a while, which led to self-doubt and confusion...

Furthermore, it is shaken.

He remembered something that he had forgotten long ago, which was the invitation from 'Huayi Films'.

'Huayi' is a top film production company in China, and Chen Yu is an actor, of course he has heard of their great reputation.

At the beginning, after the series of "Martial Arts Master" became popular, Huayi contacted him, hoping to poach him from the banner of "Dimension Brokerage"; later, when "War" hit the box office, Huayi sent another message invited.

The invitation of 'Hua Yi' was directly contacted to him, bypassing the agent. And it's not a cooperation or invitation for a film, but a direct change of the brokerage contract, a serious poaching.

Both times, he flatly refused.

But he didn't tell anyone about this matter, he didn't tell his agent Dai Weidong, he didn't tell his friends like Li Ze, even his closest family members.

Perhaps, at that time, he faintly felt this sense of crisis, but it was not as strong as it is now.

At that time, he was able to resolutely reject 'Hua Yi''s poaching, but in the past few days, he couldn't help but always remember what they said.

"Absolute resource tilt."

"A more diverse attempt."

"Dedicated to building the next twenty years, the top actor in the country."

"Dimension Entertainment can push you to the limit now."

"They didn't plan the future for you, they just blindly let you go around in the current circle..."

These promises may sound a bit false, but if you consider Chen Yu's current situation and the huge influence of 'Huayi' in the domestic film and television industry, it seems that it is not impossible to achieve.

I thought it was nothing at the time, but now that I think about it, it really shakes his heart, and it hits exactly what he is thinking in his heart now.

He was a little hesitant now, to the point where he began to recall what 'Hua Yi' said, and even seriously considered this matter.

And just then, his phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it belonged to Dai Weidong.

Just now, my heart was shaken, but now brother Dai called me, that's really a little guilty.

After calming down a little, he picked up the phone.

"Did you have dinner with Lize just now?"

"yes."

"Just be happy." Brother Dai's tone was very relaxed, "Just now I received news from the company's headquarters that there is a self-made film project and I will arrange it for you."

Hearing the news, Chen Yu was not as happy as he imagined: "What project? What kind of character?"

"A sci-fi film with a big production and a certain taste of military themes. The character is the first male lead, a tough soldier."

"Soldier?" Chen Yu's breath became short of breath, "Tough guy soldier?"

"Yes." Dai Weidong explained, "It is indeed a bit of a challenge, and it also means a bit of transformation for you. However, I don't think you should resist this kind of thing. If you can have an excellent performance, it will have a great impact on your future development. Great help..."

"I am willing." Chen Yu said decisively.

"Ah?" Dai Weidong on the phone froze for a moment. He originally thought that it would take some effort and rhetoric to persuade Chen Yu to try to transform from a sunny and passionate role to a tough guy soldier, but he didn't expect this young man to agree so readily.

After chatting for a while, the two hung up the phone. Chen Yu squeezed the phone and shook his fist heavily, his face full of excitement.

To his sister's narrow play road, to his sister's "Dimension Entertainment didn't plan a future route for me", to his sister's "Huayi"!

He has come to his senses now, and feels that his vacillation just now was really stupid!
