Shortly after the call ended, another call came in.
It was a call from a film company.
The estimated purpose is the same as that of Huace Media.
If the script is good, Jiang Chen will accept it.
If the script isn't good, he'll refuse the job.
Bona Pictures: "Hello, Teacher Jiang!"
Jiang Chen: "You want me to make a movie?"
Bona Pictures: "Yes!"
Jiang Chen: "What movie?"
Bona Pictures: "The Fortress of Shanghai!"
"Cough cough~~"
"What?"
"The Fortress of Shanghai?"
Jiang Chen was terrified.
"The Fortress of Shanghai" is the worst of the worst movies.
No amount of money can save this terrible movie.
First, the war scenes were too perfunctory.
The main plot revolves around Earthlings defending their fortified city of Shanghai against invading aliens.
War scenes should be science fiction.
Using guns and cannons to fight back, isn't that a bit insulting to the audience's intelligence?
In addition, many of the fight scenes are things Hollywood did years ago, and are far less exciting than science fiction game trailers.
Secondly, the romance scenes were a major flaw, a complete disaster.
Sci-fi movies should focus on sci-fi; what's with all the romance?
He would never take this role, even if it meant his life.
Bona Pictures frowned.
What's wrong with "Shanghai Fortress"?
This is a big-budget production with an investment of over 300 million.
Many people are fighting tooth and nail to get a role.
"Is Professor Jiang familiar with this movie?"
Jiang Chen: "No!"
Bona Pictures: "Then why are you so surprised?"
Jiang Chen: "It's nothing, it just feels a bit strange."
Bona Pictures: "What's strange about it?"
Jiang Chen: "How did Shanghai become a fortress?"
Bona Pictures suddenly realized and explained.
"Teacher Jiang, you may not know this, but it's a science fiction film."
"An alien dark force suddenly attacks Earth, and Shanghai becomes humanity's last hope."
Self-pleasure videos.
That's kind of true.
Jiang Chen: "Oh, I see. I understand now!"
Bona Pictures: "So, Mr. Jiang, would you like to take this role?"
"Well……"
"I'm sorry, I have no plans to pursue a career in film and television."
Jiang Chen was determined not to ruin his reputation.
Once something is smeared, it's very difficult to clear its name.
He doesn't want to be branded as the "King of Bad Movies".
Bona Pictures was taken aback.
He thought no one could resist this temptation.
After all, this is a big-budget movie.
Countless A-list celebrities would kill to get a role in this.
Are you sure?
"This is a big-budget production with an investment of over 300 million yuan!"
Jiang Chen: "Then I can't possibly accept that!"
Bona Pictures: "Why?"
Jiang Chen answered with reason and evidence.
"Because I didn't have formal training, I have absolutely no acting skills!"
"If I mess up the performance, won't your huge investment of over 300 million yuan go down the drain?"
That makes sense.
Since Jiang Chen didn't want to film, he wouldn't force him.
Bona Pictures: "Let's collaborate again in the future if we have the chance."
"Um!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen let out another long sigh of relief.
Why are all the movies that ask him to act in bad films?
Do handsome celebrities have to act in bad movies?
He resolutely refused to accept this fallacy.
Just a few minutes later, another call came in.
It's Universal Music.
Multinational record company.
Globally renowned.
If it has taken a liking to you, it means that your musical talent is already considerable.
Universal Music: "Hello, Ms. Jiang!"
Jiang Chen: "Are you trying to poach me again?"
Universal Music called us more than once.
He was a bit arrogant before, but this time he was noticeably more polite.
Universal Music: "Yes!"
Jiang Chen: "But I said I don't want to join any record company!"
Universal Music: "Mr. Jiang, don't rush to refuse. We can discuss this further."
In their eyes, there is nothing that money can't solve.
Jiang Chen refused them simply because they offered too little money.
Jiang Chen: "What do you want to discuss?"
Universal Music is open and honest.
We admire your talent!
“We cherish every outstanding creator!”
"We can give you everything you want and help you grow quickly!"
"We could even make you a global star, not just limited to Greater China!"
The temptation is great.
Most people would have been unable to resist it long ago.
But Jiang Chen knew his own value and his own creativity.
He can achieve what Universal Music can provide with his own hands.
Rather than living under someone else's roof and being controlled by others at every turn, it's better to develop freely and win a new world for yourself.
Thank you for your patronage!
"I still want to walk my own path!"
Universal Music frowned.
Why refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty shot?
They have been very polite.
"You need to understand that the chances of failure are very high when you're alone!"
"And a singer's prime years are only a few!"
"If you can't grow quickly in these few years, it will be difficult to win the favor of young people when your looks fade."
"Not to mention breaking out of Asia and going global!"
"Because the outside world is more realistic and cruel!"
Jiang Chen remained unmoved.
"I understand everything you're saying!"
"But how do we know if we can succeed if we don't try?"
