After a while, a plate of fragrant barbecued pork, a plate of peanuts, and a few plates of hot dishes were served on the table. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qin Pei, an old drama bone, took out the old wine that he had treasured for many years from the closet and said: "Ah Tang, you should be used to drinking foreign wine, and I don't know if this wine is suitable for your taste?" ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly: "I'm not picky, as long as it's wine." As he spoke, he handed over the cup and asked him to pour it for himself.

Seeing that Chen Xiaotang was so bold, Qin Pei was happy in his heart, so he also poured himself a big glass and said, "Say, you are a noble person, you have nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace, what are you looking for me to do this time?" ”

Chen Xiaotang said, "Can't I look for you if it's okay?" ”

Qin Pei poured Chen Xiaotang another glass of old wine, looked at his own, he thought the cup was small, so he asked his wife to exchange it for a big teacup, and he unceremoniously poured a full cup of wine, and continued: "Hehe, where, where." To tell you the truth, I'm so glad you're here, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you had forgotten about me, an old man! ”

"How come, in my eyes, it's my master!" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile, "When it comes to acting, you are the second, no one is the first!" ”

"Cut, slap me again!" Qin Pei laughed, "But then again, I've really put a lot of effort into acting...... When I first entered the industry, I was just begging for a bowl of food, but I slowly fell in love with this industry, and felt that since I was an actor, I had the responsibility and obligation to figure out my role thoroughly. ”

"But some people are more talented in filming than me, like Huang Laoxie Zeng Jiang. I was shocked when I saw him play the East Evil and asked him if he had read the original book. can play the role so well, but Zeng Jiang said that he never reads novels, but he figured it out by himself after taking the script. Hehe, it seems that nothing can be compared, and as soon as we compare, we will be compared. ”

"Although I have filmed so many scenes, the protagonist has also done it, and the supporting role has also been done. In terms of speaking, the protagonist is the most enjoyable, with many scenes, giving you a lot of opportunities to wield...... But now that I'm old, many dramas can only be green leaves, and I can be a foil for you young people, which is also good, a little easier. Wouldn't it be nice to stop working so hard, like a ticket holder, and occasionally play with tickets?! After Qin Pei finished speaking, he sighed and poured the wine from the big teacup into his stomach. There is no "happy" look on his face.

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, picked up his wine glass and said: "Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, it is actually just a character in a play, you don't have to mind and worry so much, but life is like a play." Everyone is the only protagonist in their own life, staging their own play. So, Brother Pei, you are also the protagonist, a protagonist that I admire very much, come, let's have a drink! ”

"Well said, Tang Zai, tonight you are the most agreeable, I have dried this glass of wine!"

After speaking, Qin Pei and Chen Xiaotang clinked glasses and drank them all. Chen Xiaotang looked at Qin Pei with a slightly drunk expression. Heart: Life is like a play, and drama is like life. The land you pursue is the protagonist, and the land I pursue is also the protagonist, everyone is the protagonist in their own destiny, but no one can direct their own play, except God.

Drink over thirty years. The dish has five flavors.

At this time, the new "Excalibur and Magic Knife" filmed by wireless was broadcast on TV, and Chen Xiaotang couldn't help laughing: "Brother Pei, the play you played is here, let's take a look first!" ”

Qin Pei shook his head and laughed, "TV series is this thing, it's comfortable to watch, and it's tired ...... to shoot."

Chen Xiaotang had already watched it with relish.

Chen Xiaotang was very impressed by the "Divine Sword and Demon Knife" in his previous life, and when he was in elementary school, he was already an authentic martial arts fan. is not only because the cultural life at that time was poor, domestic dramas had not yet become a climate, and the purchased dramas had not yet been large-scale, but more importantly, because Hong Kong dramas at that time were in their heyday, with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and majestic in all directions, which made people love it and couldn't stop.

China, which has just reformed and opened up, has just grown up in the post-80s, and the earliest cultural change encountered is Hong Kong-made martial arts dramas. It grows up with a generation, it affects the vision of a generation, and it even changes a generation's outlook on life and love. For a time, China blew a martial arts storm of thousands of empty alleys, and Chen Xiaotang's life was infected and changed by it all the time.

At that time, no matter where I went, whether it was film and television, or even in the video halls on the streets and alleys, it was full of chivalrous spirit with flying eaves and walls. In retrospect, it's incredible. One billion people spent the 80s in such chivalrous spirit.

Chen Xiaotang's third uncle's family was the first batch of families to use video recorders, not because they were rich, but because his third uncle was a martial arts fan. From Jin Yong to Liang Yusheng, from Gu Long to Wen Ruian, from Sima Ling to Wo Longsheng, and even the Quan Yong who fished in the water in the name of Jin Daxia, the third uncle also let it go, as long as the martial arts novels can be bought on the market, he can be said to be sleepless, and he would rather kill the wrong person than let go of all of them. The third uncle's family once created a record full of bookshelf martial arts novels, which can be described as spectacular.

In that bloody and bloody rivers and lakes, in that world of confrontation between good and evil, although they fight and kill, they also have their own friendship, which has a fatal attraction for officials. In order to better popularize martial arts education, the third uncle spent a lot of money to become the first group to watch videos, and since then, the era of Chen Xiaotang visiting people to watch videotapes has begun.

One day, the third uncle came home with a big bag, and hurriedly turned on the TV and video recorder, because the two families were relatively close at that time, Chen Xiaotang secretly followed the past as soon as he saw movement. This time, it is this Hong Kong TVB classic martial arts drama "Excalibur and Demon Knife" that catches your eye. Chen Xiaotang had read Wo Longsheng's pirated martial arts novels and knew that this play was adapted from "Heavenly Sword and Absolute Sword", so he was even more interested when he watched it.

The martial arts dramas of that era paid great attention to rendering one move at a time, and the actors all had some real kung fu, and the fighting scenes were particularly real and beautiful, much better than those rendered by high-tech computers in the future.

This drama didn't seem to be very popular in Hong Kong back then, maybe the martial arts era had passed in Hong Kong at that time. may also be because the "Galaxy Seven Stars" starring is not as famous as the "Five Tiger Generals". However, in the big 6, this drama is the favorite of many children, especially everyone has a question, why does the actor always use the "divine sword" at the last moment to get the enemy in one move? ! Why did you go before?! So many good people died...... I really want to kick him!

After coming back from his thoughts, Chen Xiaotang smiled at Qin Pei and said, "This drama is quite good-looking." ”

"The ratings are not high." Qin Pei said, "Since you stopped acting in martial arts dramas, martial arts dramas have declined, and now." Fashion dramas are popular! ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled and said coldly: "Then Brother Pei, are you interested in showing it on the big screen?" ”

Qin Pei was stunned.

"You're here today, just for this?" ”

Chen Xiaotang nodded, "I have a new play, and I hope to participate." ”

said. Chen Xiaotang took out the script of "New World" and handed it to Qin Pei, "You take a look first." ”

Qin Pei was also polite, took the script and read it.

It's okay not to watch it, but I'm attracted by the content of the story as soon as I see it.

As a veteran artist who has been immersed in the film industry for decades, Qin Pei has handled no less than hundreds of scripts. But none of them are more exciting than this story.

Qin Pei was fascinated, and Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to hold peanuts and pour himself a drink.

About ten minutes later, Qin Pei closed the script, stroked his palms and exclaimed, "Good script!" Which role do you want me to play? ”

Chen Xiaotang did not answer directly. Rhetorical question: "Which role do you think is suitable?" ”

Qin Pei pondered for a moment, "Officer Jiang!" ”

Chen Xiaotang Guaner. "I want you to be the character!"

"Haha, so let's think of going together!" Qin Pei was very happy. "I am willing to participate in this play!"

Chen Xiaotang: "Of course I'm happy for you to participate, but this reward ...... Recently, I had a plan to acquire and I was a little short of money for the time being, so I ......"

Chen Xiaotang had to be straightforward, you must know that the funds required to acquire Fox are absolutely astronomical, so Chen Xiaotang has to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and it is impossible to be as "generous" as before in terms of salary.

Qin Pei laughed, "What should I be, such a good script, even if I don't get paid, I will act!" ”

Chen Xiaotang is grateful, this is the real filmmaker.

"But," Qin Pei said suddenly, "It doesn't matter if the salary is paid, but you have to accompany me to finish drinking this bottle of wine...... Hehe, it's been a long time since I've had such a pleasure, so I have to have fun! ”

"Of course! If you don't say it, I'll be with you to the end! Chen Xiaotang hurriedly poured it for him, and the two of them drank it again, indescribably happy.

During the banquet, Qin Pei said such a sentence, which made Chen Xiaotang remember it vividly, he said: "In this kaleidoscopic entertainment industry, some people will become inexplicably popular, and thousands of favors will gather overnight; There are also some people who have never been able to become popular, but he has devoted his life to acting. This person is me. ”

The old drama bone Qin Pei was able to participate in the play "New World", which gave Chen Xiaotang a foundation in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiaotang began to think about who to let the second male "Ding Qing" in the acting.

I have to talk about this character. In his previous life, South Korean actor Huang Zhengmin brought this role to life. In the film, his style is slightly sloppy, and he is completely a ** silk brother. Wearing sunglasses stinks and pretends to be cool, always babbling, and looks very childish in front of Zicheng. But from these fights, the relationship between him and Zicheng is very good. He may not regard Zicheng as a subordinate at all, just a brother. A few small details. Such as buying a watch. Zicheng said that it was fake, and later Ding Qing said that he would buy him a real one next time. Ding Qingzhen bought it, and it was still a couple watch. Zicheng should be sad. Ding Qing really always treated him like a brother.

Ding Qing really deceived everyone, it seems that he is a big guy who does nothing, but he is actually ruthless, which can be seen from his handling of undercover agents. But he let Zicheng go. Although Ding Qing is ruthless, he is not insidious. Although it looks ugly, it is cute.

A role like this must be played by the right person, Chen Xiaotang began to like Liu Dehua, but Liu Dehua is too handsome, and his acting skills have not reached the peak of "Dark War", I am afraid that he will not be able to play this kind of role. Then there is Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Xingchi has always been a comedy line, and it is undoubtedly a great challenge for him to play such a role, but does the audience buy it? The audience had already recognized his nonsensical performance, and suddenly made him transform. I'm afraid the effect will backfire.

Who else is left?

Guo Fucheng? Dawn? Or is it ...... Zhang Xueyou?!

Thinking of Zhang Xueyou, Chen Xiaotang's eyes couldn't help but light up. yes, how did you forget this acting god of songs.

Speaking of which, Zhang Xueyou is definitely a "good actor", although he mainly sings. In Chen Xiaotang's memory, Zhang Xueyou has starred in many classics, such as Hong Qi, the "snow-white and handsome" beggar gang leader in "East Becomes West"; There is also the killer in "The Legend of the Prince"; and the flies in "Mong Kok Carmen", the crappy kung fu star in "Mouse Guts", and so on.

It's a pity that Zhang Xueyou has bad luck in the film industry awards, and he can only win the Best Supporting Actor award, and the only time he won the title of Best Actor was at the Indian Film Festival. Therefore, he was nicknamed "Indian actor" by his Hong Kong peers.

Zhang Xueyou is not handsome, he has been a character actor and a powerful actor from the beginning. Therefore, Chen Xiaotang believes that it is absolutely no problem for him to play the role of "Ding Qing".

Then again, some time ago, "Magic Shadow Entertainment fell into a financial crisis" caused by some Sanba's unstable mouths. It has a great negative impact on the company. Therefore, Chen Xiaotang decided to use this new drama to start filming to cheer up his company, so he was ready to hold a "New World" conference.

April 15, 1986.

9 a.m.

Hong Kong Magic Shadow Entertainment Company's latest gang~ gang film "New World" press briefing will be held in the No. 4 conference hall.

As the main person in charge of the press conference, and also the leading actor and screenwriter of the play "New World", Chen Xiaotang came to the company's press conference early in the morning. I saw that the reporters were enjoying a good drink and breakfast.

For public figures, reporters must not be offended, their "guns" are too powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "killing people without seeing blood, and being small." Therefore, when Chen Xiaotang asked the fat man to arrange everything. The fat man came directly to a buffet breakfast!

As Chen Xiaotang's first official new film conference after returning from Hollywood, its scale is absolutely lively and huge. After all, where is Chen Xiaotang's name, coupled with the gimmick of "Chen Xiaotang's last dedication to pure Hong Kong films" this time, as well as his special status as a "Hollywood star", the whole meeting is full of gossip.

Many reporters are looking forward to his appearance and the excavation of gossip and revelations; Many fans and fans are also looking forward to his appearance, looking forward to the idol's smile and gesture.

Finally, Chen Xiaotang appeared, as soon as he showed his face, the whole venue resounded with thunderous applause, the applause was as loud as thunder, which can show how different his current fame and status are!

Standing on the stage, Chen Xiaotang, who was dressed very appropriately and perfectly dressed in formal attire, was also high-spirited, and kept sighing in his heart, life, it really seems like a game, he keeps upgrading in the game, but he doesn't know what monster he can upgrade into in the end!

Posing casually, Chen Xiaotang let dozens of cameras give him a snapshot, and for a while the whole venue was silent, only the sound of everyone pressing the shutter.

When the photos were finished, Chen Xiaotang calmly thanked the media, and then said in bursts of applause: "I know you all have a lot to ask, so I won't delay everyone's precious time, let's start now!" ”

"Mr. Chen, we all know if you are ready to continue to show in Hollywood? After all, the characters you portrayed in Assassin's Creed are so successful, especially the action scenes, which have won the unanimous approval of fans around the world. Some people even say that if you continue to take the kung fu star route, you will become the new Bruce Lee and the new Dragon Heir! "The first to ask questions was the short reporter who marked Ming Pao!

"Thank you so much for being so attentive to my business! As we all know, it is my biggest dream to show Chinese films in Hollywood, and it is my greatest pursuit to promote Chinese films in Hollywood. As for some people saying that if I continue to take the kung fu star route, I will surpass Bruce Lee, then I don't dare to be, because there is only one Bruce Lee in this world, it was like this in the past, and it will be like this in the future! ”

"Finally, I want to tell you that I don't want to be labeled as a kung fu star, because in my opinion, a real actor should be able to control any theme of drama, for example, this time I am about to try to take the restrained route in "New World", there are no familiar action scenes, and there will be no sensational scenes of knocking down dozens of people with one punch, some are just my body language, and there are emotional performances in the play, as for how I act, I hope everyone will support me a lot, wait and see!"

Another reporter stepped forward, "So, Tang Zai, do you have anything to add to the achievements and glory you have achieved in Hollywood?" ”

"Hehe, what do you say?" Chen Xiaotang thought about it for a while before saying: "No matter what kind of achievement or glory it is, for me, it is an affirmation of my filming work!" In addition, I would like to say that these are not the work of me alone, but the result of the joint efforts of many people! After a pause, he said, "At the same time, I have another sentence to say, that is: we Chinese are not stupider than others or stupider than others, as long as we are willing to work hard, we can make good films ourselves!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you're an actor, a director, a producer, or whatever, if you're willing to seize the opportunity, you can make a difference in the film industry. What seems impossible to others will also be born in your hands, because miracles are created by man! Don't be afraid that the bones are too hard, gnaw and can't move, don't be afraid that the other party is too strong and can't win, as long as you have perseverance and perseverance, you will always win! Chen Xiaotang waved his fist and threw it loudly.

The reporters are all smart people, and after listening to it, they understood that Chen Xiaotang had something to say, and one of the reporters immediately asked: "So, Tang Zai, are you determined to enter Hollywood in a big way after filming the drama "New World", gnaw this hard bone, no, the whole world film industry?" ”

You must know that Chen Xiaotang's entry into Hollywood has become the glory of all Hong Kong people and even Chinese, in their opinion, whether there will be a Chinese Oscar winner in the future may be bet on Chen Xiaotang.
