Chapter 629: I'll Make You Comfortable Like Michelle
In the ten days since the release of "Ah Lang's Story", the box office has exceeded 18 million, and Zhou Runfa, who has been gilded in Hollywood, has more box office appeal than before; Zhang Yijia's acting skills are undoubtedly famous, and after most of his energy has been devoted to management over the years, his works have been greatly reduced, and this comeback has attracted a large number of fans to support.
The duo's appearance in the film did not disappoint the audience either.
Ah Lang played by Zhou Yunfa, the riding scene with blood flowing on the helmet and blurring the line of sight, was rated by the audience as one of the most sensational pictures in the history of Hong Kong films. Seeing Ah Lang on the last race track, people and cars were caught in flames because of the recurrence of old diseases, and there was a cry in the theater.
The media has received continuous praise, and the most straightforward evaluation is: This movie is an ending that uses death to tear and life to burn love, which makes people understand what it means to be a prodigal son, and what can be exchanged for life can only be life.
Zhou Yunfa's performance has been well received by both inside and outside the industry, and they all think that he has made a breakthrough in his acting skills after working hard in Hollywood, and he has been perfectly displayed in this movie. After he returned for the premiere, he stayed in Hong Kong for two more days, during which he almost went crazy.
The reporter's interview request was pushed by the company, but it couldn't stop the paparazzi from blocking the "robbery". Compared with crazy fans, the reporter is trivial, as long as he goes out, no matter how he dresses, he will be recognized by enthusiastic fans, and thus fall into the frenzy.
According to his incomplete estimates, he received 1/28 love letters, was hugged 365 times, and kissed 16 times......
Before "The Story of Ah Lang" was completed, publishers from all over Asia called to visit and wanted to represent the distribution rights. Even Taiwan is no exception. Lianhai Pictures specially contacted Zhang Yijia, hoping to introduce this film to Taiwan in the upcoming summer vacation.
Hollywood gilded back. The increase in box office appeal is vividly reflected in Zhou Yunfa. Many film companies want to take the opportunity to invite Zhou Yunfa to film. Take advantage of his fame to make a fortune.
But after hearing about his salary, almost everyone turned away.
10 million Hong Kong dollars, this is Zhou Yanfa's salary in "The Story of Ah Lang", which was not released until after the movie was released, which shocked a lot of eyeballs.
In fact, Zhou Yunfa himself did not ask for such a high price, he just said that according to the Hong Kong market price, five or six million is fine, or even lower. But Chen Ping'an insisted that 10 million Hong Kong dollars should not be less.
HK$10,000,000. Converted into US dollars, it is only 1.34 million, which is not high in the United States, but it is definitely slightly more than a dozen points higher than Zhou Yanfa's worth in the United States, but this is in line with international regulations. If you invite people from Hollywood to film, of course, the salary will be a little higher than Hollywood.
After the news of this incident spread, many people in the circle said that Chen Ping'an was a freak.
The boss has always hoped to find big-name stars to play at a lower salary, and celebrities hope that the higher the salary, the better, but Chen Ping'an and Zhou Yunfa are completely reversed, especially Chen Ping'an...... Know that you have money. But that's not how money is made!
But Hong Kong's artists were all moved. Needless to say, I envy Zhou Yanfa, and I am also envious of the artists under Dark Horse International. A good boss who is generous and can make the actor popular, can that artist not like it?
Only Zou Wenhuai, Pan Disheng, Yang Zhicheng, Shao Yifu and other old rivers and lakes in the circle, as well as the upper echelons of major business groups, smelled the smell of buying horse bones.
Zou Wenhuai was in private. joked to Liu Lianghua and He Guanchang that it was wrong to treat Chen Ping'an as a little fox before, and this guy's Taoism is definitely an old fox.
Zhou Yunfa shines brightly in the film. Whether it is the deep father-son relationship in the play, or the final self-redemption. All have become timeless classics and are remembered by the audience. His appearance will somewhat overshadow the appearance of other actors. However, Zhang Yijia, who has a deep foundation, still performed his own wonderful performance in the film.
When many old fans saw her cousin, they recalled the image of the "man's wife" back then, and sighed at her all-round performance.
In addition to the two leading actors, Du Qifeng was also named the second Lin Lingdong, a famous!
Du Qifeng has also made several movies before, but Xu Ke, Huang Baiming and others are producers, and he is more like an executive director during the filming process. But this time, it was Chen Ping'an who asked him to direct independently, and it also made his career as a director.
At the premiere of "The Story of Ah Lang", Chen Ping'an was preparing to participate in the Oscars in the United States, and Du Qifeng did not dare to say much when he was interviewed on stage. Until the end of the premiere, the audience responded strongly, and the theater was full of crying.
In the face of the reporter's red-eyed congratulations and interview, he repeatedly thanked Chen Ping'an for his support, and bluntly said that without Chen Ping'an, he would not have succeeded today.
This film caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and the scene at the end of the film, accompanied by "Maybe It's Not Easy" composed by Luo Dayou and lyrics and sung by Li Jianda, I don't know how many tissues were wet with crying. When Du Qifeng, Zhou Runfa, and Zhang Yijia took the stage to thank them, the crying in the theater did not stop.
The careful reporter found that Zhou Yanfa and Zhang Yijia's eyes were red at that time.
Afterwards, the guys discussed for a moment and decided to hide the good news from Chen Ping'an first.
If Chen Ping'an wins at the Oscars, this news can be counted as a joy on top of joy; If Chen Ping'an returns, he can also comfort him with this news. So when Chow Yun-fat saw him at the Oscars, he didn't mention the release of "Ah Lang's Story" at all.
As for Chen Ping'an, he didn't worry about this movie at all!
learned from Zhang Yijia's mouth, and Chen Ping'an also felt their kindness. He likes this feeling, this kind of working atmosphere, everyone is like a family, instead of intrigue.
There are still a few days left before the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, Chen Ping'an accepted an exclusive interview with "Dark Horse Weekly" and "Oriental Daily", and attended a talk show on ATV to share his trip to the Oscars. In addition, he no longer accepts other media interviews and devotes himself to the filming of "Jurassic Park".
When he announced that the film would be released simultaneously around the world this summer, the whole crew was boiling - they were creating a Hong Kong miracle!
There is only this one Chinese movie released worldwide!
And Chen Ping'an told them, this is only the first part!
On Sunday, April 9, the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards Presentation Ceremony was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre amid the anticipation of Hong Kong filmmakers.
The dwarf bull robbed him of the job and drove him to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The big head was reluctant, and Chen Ping'an didn't want the dwarf cow to be his driver. Today's dwarf cows are also a figure with a head and a face in the circle, and they are their own drivers...... It's so aggrieved.
But the dwarf cow didn't care, in his words, it was his honor to be able to drive for the Oscar for Best Director, and he could follow the light.
He invited Zhou Huimin to be his female companion because they are the heroes and heroines of "Walking Left to Right".
The car drove slowly, and Zhou Huimin put Chen Ping'an's hand on his lap: "Brother An, if I do the same thing tonight, will you be happy?" ”
Hey?
Chen Ping'an looked at her strangely: "If you are willing to help me now, I think I will be very happy." ”
"Huh? Now! ”
Zhou Huimin looked at Chen Ping'an in embarrassment. She didn't worry about being seen by the dwarf cow, Chen Ping'an's car was transformed, and the baffle was activated as soon as the dwarf cow got into the car, and the back row of the car became a private space. She's just worried about her evening clothes, so if she does, it's not good to crumple the evening clothes, and if they get dirty, it's even worse.
After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth, leaned over and was afraid of being on Chen Ping'an's lap, and went to untie Chen Ping'an's trouser chain.
Chen Ping'an held her up and shook his head helplessly.
"What's wrong, Brother An? I'm not reluctant. ”
"Let's talk about it."
"Say what?"
"You have something to say, don't you?"
"No, I just think that Michelle can do it for you, and so can I."
"I'm sure I'm sure I'm going to have something to hide. Just like this time, you are my female companion, and they don't even object......"
Hesitating again, after a while, Zhou Huimin said carefully: "Brother An, I want it, or we won't go, will we go home?" I want Michelle to make you comfortable like that? ”
Oh......
Chen Ping'an finally understood. smiled and took Zhou Huimin into his arms and touched her delicate and smooth little hands: "Do you think that I was not nominated for the Oscar this time, and I am very disappointed and unhappy?" ”
"Didn't you?" Zhou Huimin raised her pretty face, wanting to find out the answer from Chen Ping'an's expression.
Tapping on her nose, Chen Ping'an said, "Of course not." I didn't open the Academy Awards, good is good or bad, why am I lost? ”
"But "Left to Right" is very good. The movie is good, the script is good, you act very well, and you are also the Oscar for Best Director......"
That's what they're worried about.
Not only his women, but also Zhang Yijia, Shi Nansheng, Ye Zhiming, Zhang Guozhong, and Zhang Ziyang, including the dwarf cow, Zhang Ziyang and others are also very worried. Worried that he would be lost and unhappy.
When he returned, he did not answer reporters' questions about this at the airport. Seeing that he didn't want to mention it, everyone didn't dare to start the conversation rashly, just for fear that he would be unhappy. Tonight is the Academy Awards, and there is no way to avoid it.
Zhou Huimin received a lot of calls last night, from Zhang Min, Zhou Haimei, Weng Meiling, Li Jiaxin and others, and even Zhao Yazhi also called, telling her to accompany Chen Ping'an tonight and make him happy.
Zhou Huimin didn't sleep well last night, and after thinking about it for another day today, he came up with a way to make Chen Ping'an happy.
"You fools." Chen Ping'an's heart was moved, and he just wanted to understand why Wang Guxian changed his tricks to make himself comfortable last night. "Thank you, I am lucky to have you by my side in this life, and I am very happy."
"I'm so happy, and so are they. Brother An, don't you really care? ”
"You'll know when it's time for the awards." When the words fell, Chen Ping'an lowered his head and choked Zhou Huimin's mouth...... (To be continued......) R1292
