How to Raise a Superstar

Since the Ji family re-accepted Ji Chen, Ji Chen's attention has doubled again. In the past, there were some little stars who didn't know the family and were jealous of Ji Chen's smooth stardom, gossiping behind their backs, saying that Ji Chen had a good background. It's just a cover, it's a product that Dong Ming packaged for him. In fact, his success is due to meeting a good financial backer... But now these people don't dare to speak ill of Ji Chen anymore. You know, sometimes what they say Any word could reach Ji Chen's ears, and with the current identity of the other party, someone would rush to deal with them without lifting a little finger.

This is the privilege of the children of the aristocratic family. Although it is unfair to ordinary people, it is a special umbrella in the entertainment circle that is good at underestimating the low and favoring the high. It is for this reason that Zhou Anyan will put all his heart and soul into helping Ji Chen win. Back to Ji's family's recognition, after all, sometimes no amount of protection for a person is as useful as the other party having an equal status with himself. He not only hopes that the Ji family will pay attention to Ji Chen, but also wants everyone to know that Ji Chen is not A person who is casual and contemptuous.

As for whether such a voice will attract some people's vase theory, Zhou Anyan doesn't care at all. The audience has eyes. Whether Ji Chen is excellent or not is determined by his works, not by some critics' self-righteous comments. With Ji Chen's ability, sooner or later he will soar into the sky, and the love of the audience will be the best proof of his strength.

At this time, Dongming also began to pave the way for Ji Chen's drama next year, and some media ran headlines such as "Movie star Ji Chen is the second generation of rich? Fall out with his family and get back together!", which introduced Ji Chen's departure in detail. Two years of experience at home, described Ji Chen as a person who struggled alone to pursue his own ideals. Many people who read this report were more or less touched. There are often many choices in a person’s life. But not everyone can stick to their own path despite the unanimous opposition and incomprehension of relatives and friends around them. Many people will choose to compromise, and it becomes a matter of course to give up. Only Ji Chen is unwilling to say 'no' to Dream. ', no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, requiring him to give up his good life and leave his wealthy home, he did not choose to retreat easily. Same, full of positive energy.

For a while, Ji Chen's behavior was affirmed by many people, and with the hit and rebroadcast of the "Road to the Emperor" TV series, he is no longer the kind of star of the new generation who was only pursued by young men and women. , and was accepted by audiences of all ages, and became one of the more powerful young actors in Huaguo. After all, in "Being the Emperor", Ji Chen played the role of Emperor Liu Yilong from his youth to his old age. Without excellent acting skills, he would definitely not be able to do this little bit.Soon, Ji Chen's word-of-mouth went up to a new level.

However, even though it attracted so many people's attention, Ji Chen didn't feel complacent. To be honest, he felt that these reports were a bit exaggerated. Indeed, he suffered a lot for acting, but it was only at the beginning. He entrusted it to Zhou Anyan, and Zhou Anyan sent Dongming to him. He has been living smoothly, and he has more resources and announcements than others. Compared with some newcomers with no background, he is actually a very lucky person. .

"Look at this... I'm blushing when I say this." Ji Chen, who is very used to gossip in the entertainment industry and has been criticized for playing big names since he was a rookie, was very speechless to the content of the posts on the Internet. Sitting next to Zhou Anyan with an ipad in his hand, he pointed to a few replies that were clearly guiding in nature and said, "Your public relations team is really not a vegetarian, am I the one who wrote this? If it wasn't for the big Ji Chen written on it, Two words, I will definitely not recognize that this is talking about me."

Zhou Anyan smiled, "I think Dongming's move is very beautiful. It suppressed all the negative news about you in the past. Now who dares to report bad things about you, even if someone said you have a bad temper before. The statement is also true, so when you promote your new play next year, you probably don’t need to worry about the media asking you questions about these aspects.”

Ji Chen rolled his eyes at him, "Do you dislike my bad temper?"

Zhou Anyan felt itchy in his heart when he stared at him, and couldn't help but took his hand and kissed it, "How dare you despise you, you are my little ancestor now." He actually likes Ji Chen's character, sincerely , not pretentious, never suppressed himself.Who in the entertainment circle lives as wantonly as he does?Most of them are smiling on the surface and intrigue behind their backs.

With Ji Chen's background, it is rare to be able to grow into what he is today. If he gets along with others and is not cynical, it is fine. How can he be willing to break out of the world by himself like him, except for Ji Pan? The credit for being the eldest brother is also the reason for his own nature.

Thinking of this, Zhou Anyan raised the corners of his lips again, and said solemnly, "However, even if those reports are true, I'm still on your side. Who made me like you?"

Ji Chen's face blushed immediately. It was rare for Zhou Anyan to say sweet words, even if it was in a joking tone, it was enough to make his heart beat faster. He snorted pretending to be calm, and stood up from Zhou Anyan, "I will speak nicely." Yes, tsk, others are deceived by your usual calm appearance, but you are the most deceitful person..."

Zhou Anyan smiled without saying a word, and looked at him gently. Ji Chen whispered as he spoke, and glanced at him again, as if he couldn't stand the way the other party just looked at him with a smile but didn't speak, and grabbed him as if fleeing. The coat went out, "Let's go, what time is it, we haven't had dinner yet, I'm hungry."

Of course, Zhou Anyan didn't miss the blush on the tips of his ears.

Ji Chen doesn't know what his face looks like, if he knows, he will jump up and say that he is not shy, just rushing back to Zhou's house to have dinner with Xiao Heng.He still lives in Zhou's house now, and every day he can rely on his man, he does his best to rely on him. The clingy look makes Dongming feel annoyed by him. Only Zhou Anyan likes him very much. He originally only wanted to give Ji As a young master, he has no real plan to return him. Now that his goal has been achieved, it is better for Ji Chen to stay by his side.

But even if he didn't go back to Ji's house, Ji Chen would still go back every one or two days to take care of Ji's old man. His feelings for Ji's family were very complicated. There were estrangements that could not be eliminated for many years, and the subtlety of being forgiven and accepted. I got tired of thinking about it, so I simply didn't think about it so much, I just thought it was to do more filial piety while the old man was still there.Sometimes Ji Pan is busy with work, and he is the only one who takes care of Mr. Ji. He doesn't dislike the hardship and tiring of taking care of the patients. When it comes to things like changing clothes and wiping Mr. Ji's body, Ji Chen never pretends to do it by himself. Even Ji's father couldn't do it himself.

Mr. Ji saw these things in his eyes, and his attitude towards Ji Chen became more and more silent.No one knows what he is thinking, maybe he will regret having such an absolute attitude towards a child, but who knows?Ji Chen doesn't care what he thinks, he just wants him to feel at ease.

In this way, many things got involved, and Ji Chen had almost no free time after this winter. Apart from his insistence on going to Ji's house every two days, he still had two films with very different styles to make, one was Urban Love Comedy, and the other is a suspense thriller drama, the former is coming to an end and preparing for publicity work, while the latter is still in the stage of building a studio.A few days ago, director Ge Lu confirmed that the role of Xiaoxing in "Late Night" was played by a child. Since this role runs through the film, Ji Chen often takes Xiaoheng to the film base for private tutoring.

After Ge Lu's repeated visits, Su Wenqian finally agreed to Ge Lu's invitation and agreed to play the role of Zhen Xihua. Although he didn't know if he answered for Zhou Anyan's sake, Su Wenqian turned down other film appointments and came to The production team of "Late Night" is an indisputable fact. Ge Lu and Wei Zhiwei are very happy for this, except for one thing that makes them very embarrassed. It caused a lot of pressure, but they didn't provide such a high salary, and it didn't reflect Su's worth, so Ge ​​Lu made a quick decision, and the filming of "No one sleeps in the middle of the night" is scheduled to start at the beginning of next month, otherwise it will be a day if it delays expenditure.

Fortunately, Dongming is now the producer of "Nobody Sleeps", so he has tightly locked his money, and made a preliminary estimate for several accounts. After deducting various expenses such as actors' remuneration, accommodation, meals, venue rental, etc., the remaining money is enough for the time being. Propaganda was carried out in several cities, but because Ge Luweizhiwei did not have many contacts, many equipment needed to be purchased, and the funds were still spent like water. In order to reduce the burden on the crew, Ji Chen gritted his teeth and reduced his salary to the minimum , almost at the same level as when he first debuted, only for a friendly price.

Ge Lu and Wei Zhiwei were very moved by this plan. Although they didn't have any opinions on Su Wenqian who hadn't joined the film crew, it was clear at a glance which one wanted to be close to others. They admired anyone who was willing to contribute to a good movie. A dedicated person, Ji Chen doesn't care about money gain or loss, he is a good actor in their minds.But what they don't know is that Ji Chen's move is purely out of distress for Zhou Anyan, because Zhou Anyan invested in Ji Chen in his own name, and there is no other investor involved. If he accidentally loses money, Zhou Anyan will have to be alone Bear the loss.

Dongming rolled his eyes several times when he found out, "Why, you're still afraid that he won't be able to lose money. Don't worry, the boss is more capable than you imagined. Even if you lose money a dozen times, he won't blink his eyes. Besides, Su Wenqian's appeal is still very useful, and people are definitely willing to come to the cinema to see him."

Ji Chen said unhappily, "What do you mean, wouldn't I become the king of bad movies after losing more than a dozen times? And what kind of appeal is there? Am I not well-known?"

Dongming snorted, "Don't deny it. Although Su Wenqian has been quiet for a while, he is much more famous than you."

Ji Chen was not convinced, "Just wait, sooner or later, I will win the crown of best actor."

In the end, the question of the film salary was compromised. Dongming moved selfishly and changed Ji Chen's film salary to a share of the film's net profit. He is very smart in this regard. If the film becomes popular, then Ji Chen will naturally not lose money and earn The money is much higher than the remuneration that was simply negotiated. If he loses, Ji Chen will not lose, at least it will not be lower than the remuneration he originally wanted to sign with the crew.

What's more, Dongming still thinks that this movie will definitely be popular. The protagonist who is both good and evil is popular these days. The exciting plot and the contest between pure men are enough to attract all kinds of ghosts and monsters.

However, there is still one thing that needs to be modified, that is, the protagonist originally set by the screenwriter is a mental patient with pedophilic tendencies, which is not in line with the public aesthetics. The audience can accept the mental patient as the protagonist, or the serial killer as the protagonist, but they cannot. Accepting the protagonist who runs counter to public opinion, so the pedophile plot in the plot has been reduced a lot.Most people don't see it, they just think that the protagonist is born to like pure and innocent children, especially for the boy Xiaoxing.

The kid himself is very happy about this. This is not the first time he has been on camera, but it is the first time he has played a role that runs through the entire film. In the past, he only played certain roles in his childhood. There are not many lines, and the shots are more In a blink of an eye, now that there is finally a chance to perform on the same stage with Ji Chen, how could it not excite him?
