The bard joins the entertainment industry

After Huang Ying's explanation, Chen Shuo learned that the two had known each other since Zhou Jielun appeared on Hou Peiqing's show last year when he was promoting "Qili Xiang".

Later, the two were photographed by paparazzi while traveling abroad together. Later, their relationship was exposed, and Zhou Jielun also officially disclosed their relationship.

Chen Shuo really doesn't pay much attention to these gossips. After all, he has been quite busy from last year to now. Except for some important things, he has no time to pay attention to them.

"It looks like we'll have to bless him in the evening." Chen Shuo said, stroking his smooth chin.

Speaking of which, most of the gossip information he heard or saw was about himself and Liu Yifei.

As she approaches adulthood, a lot of rumors have been circulating online during this time.

Fortunately, with Wu Qi here, some bad remarks didn't cause any big trouble.

What's more, since the filming of "The Condor", Chen Shuo has always stayed in the crew and rarely showed up as a behind-the-scenes person.

Even Liu Yifei was not too involved in promoting her album before.

The same goes for Liu Yifei. After filming, she either stays in school to study or goes to the company to record songs and MVs.

The difference is that although she is relatively low-key, with the birth of the New Four Xiaohuadan and the release of the album "Colorful Life".

Coupled with the aftermath of her participation in the Spring Festival Gala, her fame gradually increased.

After some bad news came out, it was suppressed at first, and then the heat was directed to the new four Xiaohuadan and the new album.

On the contrary, it made her album a hit.

After all, with her extraordinary performance, it is easy to bring her some die-hard fans.

Huang Ying glanced at him and said, "Instead of thinking about how to wish him well, it's better to think about what you should do when Sissi's birthday is in two months."

Chen Shuo said nonchalantly: "What's so hard to do? Just look at Qianqian's mood.

If she is willing to say it, she will make it public when the time comes.

If she didn't want to tell her, we would just go to school and wait until I release an album in the second half of the year, which would basically put this matter behind us. "

Huang Ying said in surprise: "So this is why you didn't release an album in the first half of this year?"

Chen Shuo laughed out loud, shook his head and said: "Do you need to plan in advance? This is really not the reason for not releasing an album.

I have a lot of songs in my hand now. Even if I release an album in the first half of the year, it will be enough to release it in the second half of the year. The main reason is that the first half of the year was tight and I didn’t focus on the songs.

After all, singing is not my main job. Although I can make so much money now, it all depends on singing.

But both Sissi and I still hope to appear in more movies.

Now I am learning how to make movies and how to write scripts. Next year, I plan to write a script. I will direct it and Sissi will act. "

Huang Ying shook her head and said: "This idea is a bit too big. At this stage, apart from the combination of directors from Xiangjiang and big-name actors, only works produced by internationally renowned directors like Director Zhang and others can make money.

Although you are quite famous now, I don’t think you two can sustain a movie. "

Chen Shuo chuckled and said, "I don't plan to make money by making movies. The minimum investment in a movie is tens of millions, and it takes half a year or even a year. In the end, even if the box office reaches hundreds of millions, the money I earn is not as much as an album." Much.

From the preparation to the release of an album, I can get the profit in less than half a year at most. The cost is only 10 million at most, but the profit can be more than 100 million.

How does this compare?

It is even said that the income from movies is not as good as that of TV series. At least the company can still make tens of millions steadily by shooting a TV series.

This movie is all about losing more and making less.

But movies are movies after all, and they are the top resources in the entertainment industry.

If you don’t shoot now, when will you have the chance to shoot again?

To be honest, I'm not worried that I won't have any roles to film. With the close relationship between "House of Flying Daggers" and "A World Without Thieves", and the new drama directed by Director Zhang and Feng Xiaogang, if I want to participate, there will be no shortage of opportunities.

But not Sissi.

Why wasn't she allowed to take on the role this year? Isn’t it because too many scenes are inappropriate?

She is too young and beautiful now, and some of the movies that are competing for awards are not suitable for her at all.

She basically had no chance in those movies directed by great directors. "House of Flying Daggers" was an exception. If it weren't for the inspiration of Water Sleeve Attack, that role should be Zhang Ziyi's.

It is impossible to have such an exception every time.

Therefore, if you want to fulfill Sissy's dream, you must take the initiative yourself.

The movies I want to film don’t ask for a lot of box office, nor do I ask for winning awards. I only ask for one thing. "

He glanced at Huang Ying and said: "That is to let Sissi gain the recognition of the audience.

There is a saying in the industry that good reviews don’t make it a hit. For a movie, everyone can say that the movie is not well made, the box office is not good, and the story is not good.

But they must be made to think that Sissi’s performance is good, but the reason why she is not good is because she is not good in other aspects.

First, I want Sissi to be recognized by everyone. If one film is not influential enough, then do two. If two films are not enough, then three.

Get some awards, there will always be people willing to invest.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. The best thing is that our story is well written, I direct well, and Sissi plays well.

Then it would be a hit at the box office and win some awards, that would be even better.

The current domestic film market is getting better year by year, and the potential for domestic audiences to watch movies is still very considerable.

This can be seen from the box office of "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers". It's not that the audience doesn't like watching movies, but that most of them don't have good movies. "

Huang Ying raised her hands and said, "Okay, just make your own plans. After all, you are the boss, and I think what you said is right."

As Chen Shuo said, it is not difficult for him to make money now. One album can earn tens of millions.

And he doesn't spend money like others. In addition to buying a house, he doesn't have money-burning hobbies such as collecting luxury cars, watches, and antiques.

As long as you have enough money to spend, you might as well use it to make movies after saving so much money, which can not only exercise your abilities but also improve your career.

In fact, as long as the two people's fame can be gradually expanded, even if the box office does not make money, the movie will not necessarily lose money.

That night, Chen Shuo sent a text message to Zhou Jielun, inviting him to go out for a supper together.

Originally, Zhou Jielun didn't want to go, but now that it's the publicity period, there are many paparazzi watching their whereabouts, and they can't eat quietly even if they eat.

But when Chen Shuo dressed him up and took him out of the house, and saw that the paparazzi didn't notice at all, he was even more excited than Chen Shuo.

During this period of time, due to movie promotions and the announcement of his girlfriend, he rarely had such opportunities to go out and play freely.

The two found a remote shop and ate and drank while listening to Zhou Jielun complaining about his experiences during this period. At the same time, he also showed off his girlfriend to Chen Shuo from time to time.

Chen Shuo just smiled and said nothing. The paparazzi culture in the mainland started relatively late. In the past two years, due to the influence of Hong Kong, the number of paparazzi in the mainland increased, and he gained [Specialty·Simple Disguise].

Now that he has this expertise, it's much easier for him.

Unlike Zhou Jielun, who has been harassed by paparazzi for a long time.

"I heard that you have plans to release an album in October?" Chen Shuo picked up his wine glass and clinked it with him and asked.

Zhou Jielun was stunned when he heard this, sat up straight and asked, "You didn't release an album this year, so you don't want to release it at this time, right?"

"If you send it, I will postpone it for a while. I haven't started production yet."

Zhou Jielun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's great, I have already started production and am preparing to release it between October and November.

But do you release albums so casually? The production hasn't started yet. Will it be released in October? "

"I'm different from you. My works are basically ready-made. As for the MV, have you forgotten what I do? It's very simple to shoot."

"Fuck!" Zhou Jielun was speechless for a moment and could only rely on him.

Every time he prepares an album, he prepares half a year or even a year in advance, just to give everyone the best album effect.

As for Chen Shuo, he is not a full-time singer, but he is more casual than him.

The key is that his grades are better than his, how can he not be envious of this?

Chen Shuo had another drink with him and said, "Do you still remember our agreement last year?"

Zhou Jielun was startled, and then remembered that when filming last year, he promised to write two songs for Chen Shuo, but they were both busy and never mentioned it again.

He nodded and said, "Of course you remember? Do you want it now?"

Chen Shuo shook his head and said: "Not now, but you can prepare first. I may ask you for a favor in September. It may not be needed, but it is better to be prepared. Of course, it will also be good for you."

"Help?" Zhou Jielun said thoughtfully, "Is it because Liu Yifei is an adult?"

Unlike Chen Shuo, who didn't care about his personal feelings, he knew Chen Shuo's situation quite well.

After all, Chen Shuo's performance on the album still put a lot of pressure on him.

The relationship between Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei has always been the focus of media attention.

This year, his relationship with Hou Peiqing was exposed. He also thought about what Chen Shuo would do if he encountered such a problem?

The answer he got at that time was that the two of them would definitely not care, so he and Hou Peiqing directly chose to make it public after discussing it.

As soon as Chen Shuo said it, he remembered this matter sensitively. It seemed that Chen Shuo's choice was different from what he thought?

Although Chen Shuo didn't know the specific thoughts in his mind, he could feel his thoughts and explained: "Didn't I say that? Be prepared.

When the time comes, it depends on what Sissi means and if it is made public, then there will be no problem.

If she didn't want to keep it public, I had to find something to cover it up.

Originally, it was a good idea for my assistant to suggest an album, but since you are going to release it, there is no need for us to work together.

When the time comes, you can write two songs for me and mention that I’m going to release an album.

I will respond when the time comes and write two songs for you. If both of us keep a low profile, this matter will be over. "

Zhou Jielun nodded without hesitation: "No problem!"
