Chapter 296 A small goal, a hundred billion box office king of the screen (Ch 296)

“Your dad?” Qi Jia asked doubtfully.

Arthur turned his head and saw a slogan on the wall: “If you pee outside, it’s short; if you can’t pee inside, it’s soft.” So he took two steps forward silently and said,

“Well, he said you’re a natural actor.”

“oh”

Qi Jia shook himself, pulled up his pants, and went to the sink to wash his hands.

Arthur followed him up.

“I grew up abroad and returned to China when I was an adult. I later graduated from Beijing Film Academy, entered the entertainment industry at the age of 17, and won the Huading Award for Best Actor in a Costume Drama at the age of 19. Everyone in the entertainment industry who saw me said that my father had a good son…”

Qi Jia wiped his hands and thought, you are interviewing me here, why are you telling me this?

Arthur seemed to be talking to himself, and he said a lot. Finally, perhaps he had finished speaking, he changed the subject.

“One day, the national master came to my house and talked to my dad about you. He said that although you and Liu Haocun have not received professional acting training, you are both born actors and should do this job.”

Qi Jia became a little impatient, threw the tissue into the trash can, and asked,

“Do you want to borrow money from me?”

Arthur paused, looking a little surprised.

“Why should I ask you to borrow money? Besides, you definitely don’t have as much money as my family!”

“If you’re not going to borrow money from me, why are you talking so much?”

Qi Jia felt insulted, replied, and turned to walk out of the bathroom.

“I won’t lose to you. I will let everyone know who is the best actor of the younger generation.”

Qi Jia stopped and turned back in surprise.

“You told me a lot just to tell me this?”

Arthur walked forward, looked at Qi Jia’s expression with confusion, and then said,

“It seems that you haven’t received the news yet, but it doesn’t matter. Since I was born, I have always been the best of the younger generation in the eyes of my father and others, until you debuted…”

“Stop!” Qi Jia waved his hand to stop him from continuing and asked seriously, “How old are you this year?”

“After the New Year’s Eve, you’re not going to say that I’m younger than you, so…”

Before Arthur finished speaking, Qi Jia turned and left.

“Hey, what do you mean?”

“Damn, he turned out to be a hot-blooded middle school boy.”

Qi Jia complained in his heart, ignored Arthur’s questioning, and quickly returned to the box.

After dinner, I returned to the hotel and received a call from Chen Yuwen.

Qi Jia treated this as a joke and told Zhang Ruonan and Chen Yuwen.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Chen Yuwen spoke in a very serious tone.

“It’s not surprising, he did it for a reason.”

Qi Jia heard the abnormality in her tone and asked,

“Isn’t it to prove to his father that he is the best? Is there any other reason?”

“It’s normal that you don’t know, because I just received the news too.” Chen Yuwen didn’t keep the secret and said directly: “Next year, the higher-ups will select one man and one woman from young artists as national ambassadors to travel to some friendly countries, or to international organizations, such as the United Nations General Assembly, to represent the country in cultural propaganda.”

“Isn’t this assessment standard very strict?” Zhang Ruonan asked from the side.

“Of course,” Chen Yuwen said on the other end of the phone, “Let me briefly explain two points. First, your personal image must be good, not just your appearance, but your personal conduct must also be absolutely clean. Second, you must have a certain international influence. Otherwise, when you go out, people outside won’t recognize you. Then why would they choose you?”

Chen Yuwen paused and continued,

“These two points alone are enough to eliminate most people. As for other requirements, we can discuss them in person when you are done.”

“Sister, do you think Arthur came to me because he thought I would compete with him for the title?”

“It’s not a feeling, it’s a certainty. And it’s not just him. Now all young artists, whether they are qualified or not, want to compete. After all, this is a big deal that can make your family tree open a separate page for you. As one of the most popular young artists, who else can they target if not you?”

“It’s not that bad actually. I don’t think I’m that famous, just average.”

“Haha.” Facing Qi Jia’s somewhat Versailles remarks, Chen Yuwen simply chose to ignore them and said casually,

“Being famous is not enough. After all, you debuted a little late, so your influence is still not enough. Set a small goal first and win a 10 billion box office award. This way, you may have a better chance.”

Qi Jia, a movie star with a box office of 10 billion, said with a grin, “This requirement is not low at all. Domestic actors can earn at least several million.

And how many billionaire movie stars are there? Qi Jia knows that there are only a few such as Huang Bo, Shen Teng, and Xu Zheng, and it is estimated that there are less than a hundred of them.

“Sister Yuwen, what about me?” Zhang Ruonan tore open a bag of potato chips and asked while eating.

“You,” Chen Yuwen said in a straight tone, and then comforted him, “You should just eat, drink and have fun. Don’t be too stressed. The important thing is to participate.”

Qi Jia couldn’t help laughing after hearing this, but she kicked him to the ground.

Zhang Ruonan put down the potato chips in his hand, looking dissatisfied.

“Sister, I always feel like you are scolding me.”

“Ah, yes, yes, yes~”

…

Knowing the real reason why Arthur approached him, Qi Jia didn’t have any worries. He just let his work speak for itself and just did his best. After all, he couldn’t compete with his father.

After a night of rest, I started recording “Happy Camp” the next day.

In addition to the host and guests, there were also many students from nearby colleges and universities who had signed up to participate in the recording.

Among them, most are fans of Qi Jia and Arthur.

When the two of them were introduced, the audience burst into cheers.

After the four guests introduced themselves, they started a chat session. He Jiong asked about the two crews’ upcoming movies.

Ask about the plot of the movie, interesting things that happened during the filming, the leading actors’ opinions, etc.

After asking these questions, he interacted with the audience and asked which one they were most looking forward to.

Some said “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time”, while others said they were more looking forward to “The Best of Us”.

Seeing the heated debate in the audience, Director Liu Wei nodded contentedly in the studio.

It was similar to what Qi Jia guessed. The reason why they invited both crews at the same time was to artificially stir up conflict between the fans of the two movies.

This will generate heated discussions and topics online, increasing exposure for the program.

The recording lasted for four or five hours and ended at around eight in the evening.

After the recording was completed, He Jiong and director Liu Wei once again expressed their gratitude to Qi Jia and the other three, and this time it was the program crew’s turn to host the event and entertain everyone.

While the production crew was eating and drinking with Qi Jia and the others, the students who returned to school from the recording site,

The news that there was a debate at tonight’s recording session about which of the two movies was the best and most anticipated youth campus movie of the year has been revealed.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

“The Best of Us” has the halo of its predecessor, and “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time” is Qi Jia’s first self-made film.

Both movies have their own traffic and topics, and now someone has compared them together, which instantly caused heated discussions online.

Of course, Mango TV’s operation was indispensable, because a voting function was quickly created under the official account of Kuaiben.

Let netizens vote on their own and decide which movie they think is the best and most anticipated youth campus movie this year, “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time” or “The Best of Us”.

After the dinner,

Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan returned to the hotel and packed their luggage, ready to leave tonight. One was going to Binzhou to continue filming, and the other was going to Xiahai to shoot a commercial.

On the way to the high-speed railway station, Qi Jia was reading the script when his assistant handed him his phone.

“Brother, Sister Zhou Ye called you.”
