I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 172 Kneel down! The capital boss kneels down completely!
At this time, in the Tianshui Yisese box on the 3rd floor.

The decoration and layout of the entire box are completely different from those downstairs, very elegant and solemn.

In the nearly 50-square-meter private room, several beautiful waitresses were pouring wine for the nine people present.

There are six men and three women, three of whom are couples.

However, after changing the plates, the waiter immediately left, and this private room also has soundproof doors inside and outside.

"I admire top scorers in the college entrance examination the most!"

"Many of my partners are top scorers!"

"You are like Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu and Liu Qiangdong of JD.com, they are the top students in various places!"

Sitting in the middle was a fat middle-aged man wearing glasses, who spoke very politely.

A tall man next to him, also wearing glasses, quickly echoed when he heard this: "Indeed, the top scorer in my college entrance examination was Li Yanhong from Baidu, who is also a great figure!"

"Right, there are still many entrepreneurs who are top scorers in the college entrance examination!"

"But there are many people who are engaged in scientific research and economics, but this is the first time I've heard of someone being an actor!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Yimou laughed. Next to him sat a guy wearing a baseball cap. He was very strong and tall, but a little ugly.

This guy is Zhang Weiping, the founder of New Picture. In 96, he invested in Zhang Yimou's "If You Are the One", and the two have been working together until today, for nearly 15 years.

Sitting on his right was his first wife, Zhang Jing, the financial director of New Picture.

"What's wrong with the actors?"

A charming mature woman sitting next to the fat man with glasses said, "The cultural requirements for actors were very high when we were here. It's only in recent years that they have been relaxed. The main reason is that the art exam candidates are really suffering now!"

"Sister Luo, it's not that the arts exams are hard, it's that there are too many parents who want their children to be stars!"

A very beautiful lady next to Zhang Jing suddenly said, "You have been abroad and don't know the situation in China. I occasionally work as a part-time art exam teacher at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. In recent years, the income of actors has increased, and they all rushed in!"

"Of course not. A drama can easily earn tens of millions of dollars. Who wouldn't be moved?"

"Hua Yi, dare the big and small Wang to make an offer!"

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
There was a sudden knock on the door, causing everyone to stop talking.

The fat man with glasses stood up immediately and said with a smile: "Our number one scholar is here!"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone present laughed out loud.

The fat man with glasses actually went to open the door for Chen Jin himself. Chen Jin looked at the wealthy middle-aged man in front of him and thought he had come to the wrong place. He glanced at Zhang Yimou who turned around and smiled at him, then he confirmed that he had come to the right box.

"come in!"

Zhang Yimou waved to Chen Jin.

Chen Jin quickly smiled at the fat man with glasses next to him and pulled open a seat next to Zhang Yimou.

This should be where Pang Liwei sat just now.

Chen Jin didn't expect that there were women in this box, and more than one, huh?
Chen Jin actually knew one of them.

There was an actress his father loved very much. When his house was not renovated when he was a child, he put up her poster.

Chen Jin had several erotic dreams about Comrade Chen Xianqi’s goddess back then—Gailili.

It was very popular in the 80s and 90s.

Of course, Lao Chen likes more than just this one. He also likes Gong Xue, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women Zhu Lin, the poet’s wife Chen Hong, Da Ju’s wife Jiang Qinqin... The main theme is universal love.

"Come on, come on, let's toast to the top scorer in the college entrance examination!"

The fat man with glasses sat back down and raised the wine glass in front of him. Chen Jin quickly stood up, and Lao Mouzi whispered in Chen Jin's ear: "Boss Xiong!"

"Hello, Mr. Xiong!"

"This is Mr. Xiong's wife, Ms. Luo..."

"Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao's wife!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

"boss Zhang……"

Zhang Yimou introduced everyone to Chen Jin, and Chen Jin called out to each one politely.

He actually recognized everyone present.

Apart from President Xiong, Xiong Xiaoge's wife, Chen Jin didn't have much impression of her, but judging from her temperament, she didn't feel like a simple woman.

Chen Jin can match up with everyone else.

The four major investors of "The Flowers of War".

There is no need to talk about Zhang Weiping. He and his wife Zhang Jing and Chen Jin have seen photos in New Picture. Although this guy is an investor, he is just making money out of nothing. In fact, it was the other three who invested the money.

Each person contributed 33%.

Including IDG Capital founder Xiong Xiaoge, Emperor Entertainment Group's Jiang Zhiqiang and New Classics Media's Cao Huayi!

That is the three people in front of you.

Gai Lili is Cao Huayi's wife. She graduated from Beijing Dance Academy and Shanghai Theatre Academy. She has appeared in many movies and TV series, and has been nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress twice and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress once.

She is now a director of New Classics Media. Even though she is almost 50 years old, she still has her charm.

When he was young, he indeed amazed many people of Chen Jin's father's generation.

Cao Huayi is about the same age as Chen Xianqi, and he obviously also fell in love with her and finally got her.

In fact, these three investors are currently very famous in the country, both in the business circle and the entertainment circle.

But in the future, the three of them will be more famous and have more assets than they do now.

Especially Xiong Xiaoge, his company once owned 20% of Tencent’s shares and invested in many listed groups.

As for New Classics, the leader of commercial TV dramas in the future, many of Yuewen’s online novel adaptations, such as "Joy of Life" and "The Night Patrol of Dafeng", are produced by this company.

Jiang Zhiqiang, who seems to be very low-key and has not spoken a word, is actually the real boss in the film industry.

He single-handedly created the blockbuster era of Chinese-language films!
From "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers", Chinese blockbusters were released in North America and Chinese commercial films went global, all thanks to his mediation!

He and Lao Ma are two completely different contributors to Chinese-language films.

One is to promote Chinese films to the three major film festivals, and the other is to promote Chinese-language blockbusters to the global market.

"This image is definitely the material for becoming a big star!"

"Director Zhang chose a good actor this time!"

"The key is to have the title of the top scorer in the college entrance examination..."

The elegant mature woman whom Chen Jin was least familiar with among the people present, Xiong Xiaoge's wife Luo Yan, was speaking with a smile on her face.

In fact, this person is also a well-known actor who graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy in 78 and was also nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress.

The Hundred Flowers Awards in the 70s-90s were very prestigious. However, actresses of Luo Yan's generation were actually very pro-Western. Her grandfather was the former governor of the central bank, and this identity meant that he had a hard life. So after she became an actress, she tried every means to go abroad.

She worked as a security guard, nanny, dishwasher... and eventually was admitted to an American university. Later, she studied at the University of California, Los Angeles, which is a world-renowned film production program.

He is now the first Chinese to serve as chief producer and screenwriter in one of the eight major Hollywood studios.

Now that China is developed, she has returned to invest.

Xiong Xiaoge's entry into the entertainment industry was actually related to his wife; except for Zhang Weiping, the other half of those present are actually actors.

Including Zhang Yimou's little wife.

"I saw that Xiao Chen has received high praise online!"

"He won the Venice Film Festival Best Newcomer Award right after his debut. This has been a rare achievement in China for many years. At that time, the entertainment industry was stagnant, unlike now. The value and popularity of this newcomer are much more valuable than the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award at that time!"

Cao Huayi had just clinked glasses with Chen Jin and was talking quietly.

Xiong Xiaoge didn't know much about this. He just knew that Chen Jin was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Yes, with the support of the award, it is convincing. I know more than you!"

"The tribute film "The Founding of a Party", Xiao Chen plays the leading male role!"

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

Several people present raised their heads.

Luo Yan's eyes widened: "Male No. 1, who is that?"

"Correct!"

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "You didn't expect it, did you? I didn't expect it either!"

Now, the looks that several people gave Chen Jin suddenly had other meanings.

Zhang Weiping even reached out from behind Zhang Yimou and patted Chen Jin on the shoulder. He obviously knew about The Founding of a Party: "Work hard, and strive to become the top star in this circle in the future!"

"Hahaha!"

Many people present thought it was just a joke, so Chen Jin quickly responded modestly.

"That's quite remarkable!"

“I heard a lot of people are vying for roles in this drama!”

"It's really not easy to get the male lead!"

Luo Yan was talking thoughtfully, and Xiong Xiaoge suddenly realized, "Male No. 1, the one from my hometown?"

"Yes, your idol!"

Xiong Xiaoge was dumbfounded, he was from Xiangtan.

What he particularly admired was his youth, so in all his offices there was a statue of a young man and his poem.

You know, Xiong Xiaoge’s alma mater is HUST.

He stared at Chen Jin intently, unable to find any overlap with his idol: "This doesn't look alike?"

"Let me show you something, and you'll know if it looks like it or not!"

Zhang Yimou smiled abstractly and quickly asked Chen Jin to take out his cell phone. He couldn't be the only one to be shocked by such a shocking thing. At least everyone at the table had to be shocked.

Chen Jin: “…”

Zhang Yimou's bad taste is really amazing.

Chen Jin had no choice but to take out his cell phone and find his makeup photo, and Zhang Weiping had already come over.

When he saw this, his eyes were wide open and his body remained in the same position, not moving at all.

Zhang Yimou was almost laughing to death.

When everyone saw Zhang Weiping's attitude, they were so angry that they all rushed to Chen Jin's phone to look at it. Xiong Xiaoge also saw the photo and was struck by lightning. It took a while before he said, "This... is this you?"

Nothing like it!
The person in this photo is so three-dimensional.

It's like something out of a history book.

"Yes, it's me. I've put on makeup and clothes to cooperate with the performance..."

As he spoke, Chen Jin's temperament began to reveal itself. Xiong Xiaoge had an expression of disbelief on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.

Kneel down!

Xiong Xiaoge was completely defeated now.

Anyway, Zhang Yimou had already turned around and banged his head on the back of the chair, laughing so hard that it looked like he was having cramps.

The big guys at the table were all in a mess, completely confused about what was going on, and each one was more shocked than the other.

Anyone who looked at Chen Jin’s phone would be petrified.

Because... they really are so similar.

"Oh~~"

Xiong Xiaoge suddenly let out a breath, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Jin made him feel a little uneasy.

Swish!
At this time, he stood up suddenly, walked to Chen Jin's side, and said to his wife: "Let's take a photo, Luo Yan, come and take a photo of me and Xiao Chen!"

"Go, go, go!"

Luo Yan smiled and picked up her phone to take a photo of the two of them. Chen Jin even acted out a little bit.

Now the photos taken look very impressive.

"I have to put it on my desk!"

The more Xiong Xiaoge looked, the more satisfied she became. Now Jiang Zhiqiang and Cao Huayi couldn't sit still anymore.

Chen Jin is helpless!

Forget it, just go ahead. As a businessman, the more time goes by, the more I believe in this stuff.

“Definitely has a future!”

"Xiao Chen, believe me, with this, you will have a smooth future and can make it to the international arena!"

"Tongsha, I'm counting on you!"

Can you imagine?
A tycoon with a net worth of billions was frantically flattering Chen Jin.

"Boss Xiong, can I ask you something?"

At this moment, Chen Jin suddenly plucked up the courage to say something, and Zhang Yimou next to him immediately stopped laughing.

What the hell is this kid up to?!
Our first meeting was so abrupt.

Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"The recent popular Thousand Group War, are there any companies you invested in it?"
