"Brother An, it's time to get up."

"What's the hurry, it's not even eight o'clock, didn't you start work at eleven o'clock?"

"I started work at eleven o'clock, but didn't you make an appointment with Director Xu and Ajie to talk about the script today?"

"That's not in a hurry, let's get down to business first."

"Business? What's the matter? ”

"Hey, hey, morning exercise. This is very important, don't believe you touch it. ”

"I hate it, wasn't last night enough?"

"What, you don't want to?"

"Well, I'm going to be on it this time."

……

Since Zhang Min spent the most unforgettable birthday in his life in the meteor shower, he has lived in Chen Ping'an's villa almost every night in the past few days. She enjoys Chen Ping'an's favor very much, and is also familiar with Chen Ping'an's habit of "morning exercise".

When Chen Ping'an left the villa and drove to the company, Zhang Min was still lazy on the bed, feeling the breath of Chen Ping'an around him.

Chen Ping'an asked Xu Ke, Li Lianjie, Liu Jialiang, and Guan Zhilin today to discuss the script of "Huang Feihong". Although "Midnight Bell" is still being filmed, the preparations must be done in advance, especially the two protagonists Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin, who need to be familiar with the script in advance, memorize lines, and find the feeling of the characters.

Li Lianjie only returned to Hong Kong yesterday, and called Chen Ping'an that night, saying that his body had completely recovered, ~ and he could start the play at any time.

"Boss!"

"Amy, are they all here?"

"Director Xu, they're all waiting in the office, but ......"

Seeing that Amy wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Ping'an stopped: "But what? What's wrong? ”

"I went in to pour water for them just now, and it seemed that I saw Director Xu and Director Liu arguing."

Xu Ke and Liu Jialiang quarreled?

Chen Ping'an raised his eyebrows: "Okay." I know. ”

Pushing open the door and walking into his office, Chen Ping'an immediately noticed the strange atmosphere.

Xu Ke and Liu Jialiang sat on the sofa without saying a word. The face is ugly, and no one looks at anyone. Li Lianjie sat in the middle and didn't know what to do. looked at Xu Ke for a while, looked at Liu Jialiang for a while, and couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth several times. Guan Zhilin covered his small mouth, his big eyes were full of curiosity, and he patrolled the three men.

The four did not notice him entering.

What's going on?

"Ahem!" Chen Ping'an coughed, Guan Zhilin was the first to react, stood up and shouted sweetly: "Mr. Chen is here." ”

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Xu Ke, Liu Jialiang, and Li Lianjie got up in turn to say hello, and Chen Ping'an smiled and waved at them and motioned for them to sit down.

"I'm sorry guys. I'm late. Can anyone sue me if I missed something? ”

"Boss I...... Hum! ”

Xu Ke and Liu Jialiang stood up and spoke in unison, and the words began, the two glanced at each other, snorted, and sat down again.

Noticing that Chen Ping'an was looking at him, Li Lianjie opened his mouth, and finally sighed, lowered his head and shook it gently.

None of the three men spoke. Guan Zhilin had no choice but to stand up: "That's right. Director Xu and Director Liu were discussing the script just now, and they quarreled somehow. ”

"Old Monster Xu? Lao Liu? ”

Xu Ke is the assistant director of "Huang Feihong", and Chen Ping'an plans to return the sequels to Xu Ke for filming in the future; Liu Jialiang is the martial arts instructor of "Huang Feihong", and he was specially found by Chen Ping'an.

The script for "Once Upon a Time". Chen Ping'an had already discussed with Xu Ke and reached an agreement on all the storylines in it. Chen Ping'an hadn't come just now, and Xu Ke sent the script to the three of them. Let the three of them familiarize themselves with the script first, and if there are any questions, he can answer them.

It's not that he's overstepping. It's that he knows that Chen Ping'an has been very busy recently, after discussing the script. I also had to rush to the crew of "Midnight Bell" to shoot "Midnight Bell".

thought that Li Lianjie or Guan Zhilin would have problems with their roles, but who wanted to be the first to raise the problem was Liu Jialiang.

Liu Jialiang was born in a martial arts family, and began to learn martial arts with his father at the age of 9, and his father was a personal disciple of Lin Shirong, a disciple of Huang Feihong, so he won the true inheritance of Huang's martial arts. Because of this, during the filming of "Huang Feihong", Chen Ping'an specially invited several of their brothers to serve as martial arts instructors, and Liu Jialiang was also happy to learn that Chen Ping'an was preparing to remake "Huang Feihong".

Wong Fei Hung is a famous martial arts master, in the sixties and seventies made many movies about him, Lau Kar-leung was at Shaw Brothers, he directed the movie "Lu Ah Cai and Wong Fei Hung".

This time, Chen Ping'an filmed "Once Upon a Time", wanting to make this movie a little different from the action style of previous shooting. He discussed it with Xu Ke, and the two came up with some action designs, which were completely different from Liu Jialiang's thinking.

Regarding the inconsistency of the way of martial arts, Liu Jialiang raised objections on the spot. Xu Ke has always had a strange temper, and the two argued for a while, and no one could convince anyone. The more the two talked, the more excited they became, and Xu Ke regarded Liu Jialiang as a pure martial arts instructor, thinking that he only needed to design martial arts movements according to the director's ideas.

But the problem is that Liu Jialiang used to be a famous director, and it was not until the decline of martial arts films in the last two years that he often appeared as a martial arts instructor. In terms of seniority, he is taller than Xu Ke, and when he made the movie, Xu Ke was still in school!

He thought that Xu Ke's words were disrespectful to him, and Xu Ke didn't bother to explain too much, so the misunderstanding between the two appeared, and it became deeper and deeper, and finally they quarreled.

"Boss, I don't agree with the martial arts action design in the script, which is completely contrary to the facts."

In front of Chen Ping'an, Liu Jialiang also insisted on his own point of view. He believes that the martial arts design in the script is completely inconsistent with the real Huang Feihong, and is disrespectful to Huang Feihong.

Xu Ke shrugged: "Boss, you saw it, I can't make sense with him." ”

Regarding the controversy between Liu Jialiang and Xu Ke, Chen Ping'an supported Xu Ke without any suspense, because those martial arts designs were discussed by him and Xu Ke together, and Xu Ke just didn't sue Liu Jialiang.

But he can't just sue Liu Jialiang directly, it would be too hurtful.

"Let's wait and talk about this matter, I want the two protagonists to finish the script."

"Boss, I've finished reading the script."

"Mr. Chen. I've read it too. ”

"Is there anything you don't understand about the characters?"

"I'm fine." Li Lianjie shook his head, when he was filming in the mainland. He does what the director says. At that time, he was just a small actor. Even if he becomes a celebrity, he is just a small actor, how can he have the right to dictate the role he plays in front of the director?

"I have a problem." Guan Zhilin pursed his lips, "Director, why did you design a scene in the script where I was almost forced to be X?" ”

"This is just for the sake of the smooth plot, but also to make Liang Kuan's transformation more natural." Xu Ke's explanation, Guan Zhilin was not satisfied, she smiled and nodded at Xu Ke to thank her, and then looked at Chen Ping'an. Looking forward to his answer, his expression was playful.

Chen Ping'an knew what Guan Zhilin was thinking. The first time between him and Guan Zhilin, although Guan Zhilin was the first to seduce, in the final analysis, it can be regarded as his own strong x Guan Zhilin. Guan Zhilin didn't ask questions at all, but deliberately teased him.

"Is Director Xu dissatisfied with his explanation?"

"Nothing?" Guan Zhilin shook his head, "But here is the scene where I am stripped naked, I won't do it." ”

"It's just a backless."

"That's not going to work, I've never made a movie like this before!"

Chen Ping'an and Xu Ke glanced at each other, nodded and said, "That's it." Wait until the backless scene and find a replacement. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you Director Xu." Guan Zhilin thanked happily and glanced at Chen Ping'an and Xu Ke respectively. Chen Ping'an thinks no matter how you look at it. That glance smells of seduction.

An hour later, there was not much output to communicate with the two leading actors, and the things that should be explained were all explained. Xu Xu and the others got up and left.

"Boss, I have something I want to tell you alone." Liu Jialiang said suddenly.

Chen Ping'an nodded: "Okay." It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about. ”

Xu Ke, Li Lianjie, and Guan Zhilin left, and Chen Ping'an asked Amy to change two cups of new tea. handed Liu Jialiang a cigar again: "Lao Liu, as for it, just because of the disagreement in concept, you and Xu Lao Wei quarreled so fiercely?" It's not like you don't know that he's an old monster, so you can wait for me to talk about it. ”

"Boss, I want to leave." Liu Jialiang's answer was very inexplicable, and the answer was not what he asked, Chen Ping'an frowned slightly: "Leave?" What do you mean? ”

"I ......" Liu Jialiang hesitated for a moment and took a deep breath, "Boss, I know that you have been very good to me and have taken care of me for the past year, but I, I, I want to leave the company." ”

"Resign?"

Chen Ping'an still values Liu Jialiang very much, not only because Chen Jiaban signaled Liu Jialiang's Liu Jiaban to be the team, but also because of Liu Jialiang's talent. can direct and act, and is still an excellent martial arts instructor.

He also wanted to talk to Liu Jialiang alone, using the reason that the revival of martial arts films must incorporate new elements as an excuse to persuade the other party to accept the martial arts design concept of "Huang Feihong", who wants to mention it, Liu Jialiang actually took the initiative to resign.

"I'm sorry." After spitting out these three words, Liu Jialiang stopped speaking. Avoiding Chen Ping'an's gaze, he bowed his head and remained silent.

Chen Ping'an smoked a cigar silently, and the office was filled with smoke, and the smell of cigars was everywhere.

In the drama "Once Upon a Time", the difference in the design concept of martial arts is not the reason for Liu Jialiang's resignation, at most it can only be regarded as a fuse. In fact, Liu Jialiang had the idea of resigning for a long time.

He is also a great director who has achieved brilliant achievements, Hui Yinghong won the Best Actress at the first Hong Kong Film Awards for her outstanding performance in "Elders", which is the film he directed. It's just that with the decline of martial arts films, Dark Horse International squeezed out the prime time of Shaw Brothers cinemas, and he lost ground in the internal struggle of Shaw Brothers, and went north to the mainland, serving as a martial arts instructor in "North and South Shaolin".

After coming back, the Shaw Brothers liquidated, and at the invitation of Chen Ping'an, he joined Dark Horse International, established the Chen family class for Chen Ping'an, and served as a martial arts instructor in many plays.

But he is a director, a director who has achieved brilliant achievements, how can he be willing to be a martial arts instructor forever?

It's not that Dark Horse International doesn't give him funds to film, but Dark Horse International is too competitive, and it is difficult for the films he directs to get prime time. Just like when Lin Lingdong chose to stay in Xinyi City, there is a reason.

"New Art City?" (To be continued......) R1292
