Chapter 380: Dinner Variant?
H2> whether Tom Cruise's remorse is true or false, only he knows, but Chen Ping'an's popularity in the American film industry has been boosted again by directing the movie "Rain Man".
Although this movie is an inspirational film that reflects people with intellectual disabilities, different conclusions can be drawn from different angles. In the context of the regression of the U.S. economy due to the stock market crash, this negative factor was automatically ignored by the U.S. media, and instead emphasized that family affection and material wealth in the world are floating clouds, so as to stabilize social order and fate.
Some American media called Chen Ping'an and wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him. Chen Ping'an said that he couldn't leave Hong Kong, so he asked people to come to Hong Kong. As with the Hong Kong media, it was not at all the American media, and in the end, it was Anne Heard who came forward and accepted an interview with reporters, and the matter was over.
Chen Ping'an, an Oriental, has gradually been accepted by American audiences as a director, and more and more Americans know that he is the director of the films "Ghost Love", "Rain Man" and "Mythical City".
"Rain Man" is still in theaters, and the box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars, among which the warm picture and the warmth between brothers moved the audience. According to expert predictions, the domestic box office of the film will eventually exceed 150 million US dollars.
Many of the films shot by Chen Ping'an last year, except for "Mom Loves Me Again", which was only released in Taiwan for a few days, each of them caused a sensation and achieved a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth.
A series of achievements are dazzling, and Hong Kong counterparts can't hold their heads up.
However, I heard that he only plans to shoot two Hong Kong films this year, and his main focus will be on shooting Western films and ATV, which has made his Hong Kong counterparts see an opportunity, and several major film companies have found the dawn of revival.
We admit you're great, but are every one of your directors like you?
Therefore, the competition for this year's Lunar New Year stalls is particularly fierce.
Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Debao have launched flagship films one after another, hyping up and seizing the position of public opinion.
Directed by Sammo Hung, he co-starred with Cheng Long and Yuan Biao in "Flying Dragon", which seized the box office market as Golden Harvest's Chinese New Year film. The three brothers all enjoy a high reputation in the film industry, and their salaries in the early 80s were among the top 10 Hong Kong movie stars.
The three brothers co-starred, the strong lineup should not be underestimated, the influence and appeal are undoubted, and Golden Harvest also showed its ambition and domineering to regain the box office champion of the Chinese New Year stalls and reproduce the leading style of Golden Harvest's old films.
The movie released by Princess Jin is still produced by Xinyicheng. With Yang Zhicheng becoming the second largest shareholder of the Golden Princess after Lei Juekun, the relationship between Xinyicheng and the Golden Princess has become more intimate.
The main movie of this new art city is "The King of Gamblers" directed by Zeng Zhiwei, a movie outside of Chen Ping'an's memory. The starring Li Yuanba was moved by the sincerity of the new art city, and did not go to the United States to develop after filming "Tiger Guard" like later generations, but stayed in Hong Kong and became the pillar of the new art city.
"The King of Gamblers" is starring him and Mecca, a witty and humorous gambling film, a bit like "Best Partner". The new art city also figured out the movie guò to revive the glory of the past.
The female lead actress chose Lizhi. Li Zhi and Li Yuanba have cooperated in "Tiger Guard", and the two have a tacit understanding together, and Li Zhi's rich career line is enough to add luster to this movie.
Debao still likes to take the small citizen route as before. This year's Chinese New Year release is the second part of the "Rich and Powerful" series - "Rich and Powerful Again".
Last year's Chinese New Year, "Rich and Powerful" became a dark horse at the box office, which was even more shocking than "God of Gamblers". This year, Gao Zhisen made persistent efforts, quickly took care of the script materials, and continued to star Dong Bi and Shen Dianxia to shoot the sequel "Rich and Powerful".
The investment is not large, and there is still no special invitation to popular stars to join, but who dares to underestimate it?
and Dark Horse International, the pair of Huang Baiming and Du Qifeng carried the banner and dominated the first battle of Dark Horse International's 88-year film industry.
"Annunciation of Eight Stars" is also a comedy, gathering a large number of popular stars, with a huge lineup, which is also exciting.
Golden Harvest once again chose to play against Dark Horse International. In the face of the movie directed by Chen Ping'an, they are not afraid, not to mention that the director of "Eight Star Annunciation" is To Qifeng?
"Flying Dragon" and "Eight Star Annunciation" premiered at the same time; Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao VS Huang Baiming, Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guorong.
The two films have their own merits, and the three male protagonists in both films are also evenly matched, so much so that both premieres were extremely lively, and after the premieres, the audience and the media were equally acclaimed.
But "Eight Star Annunciation" has more Chen Ping'an and Wang Guxian here, which makes the Taiping Theater overwhelm the Maritime Theater in the scene.
Chen Ping'an has just acquired ATV, whether it can create a miracle like the film industry to bring ATV out of the trough, and what kind of different ATV can be given to Hong Kong citizens is something that many people are concerned about.
A TV series, a reversal drama, and a new type of variety show are the three fires after Chen Ping'an stayed on ATV. Whether these three fires can burn off the wireless and whether they can burn the red ATV are all expected.
And Wang Guxian, who just returned from Europe, is also the darling of the media. As a fantasy movie, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has received a good response in Europe and has begun to be released in Germany and Italy.
The magical plot, wonderful pictures and shocking special effects made foreigners stunned.
It is already rumored that the film has a good chance of winning at this year's Portuguese Fantasy Film Awards and the French International Science Fiction Film Festival.
In addition, there is an inexplicable relationship between the two.
Zhong Chuhong is in the United States, but Zhang Min is in Hong Kong! Last Christmas, at the premiere of "My Sassy Girlfriend", Zhang Min kissed ...... The more complicated the love life of a celebrity, the more the media likes to report it, because readers love such gossip.
It's just that reporters can't imagine the real relationship between the three girls and Chen Ping'an, so when a reporter asked Wang Guxian about Zhang Min's kiss on Chen Ping'an, Wang Guxian was very calm: "I think any female artist, who changes to Zhang Min's position, will do that." What's so weird? ”
There is some truth to this.
Zhong Chuhong, Wang Guxian and Zhang Min are all because they starred in a movie as a couple with Chen Ping'an, and then their fame has risen to a higher level, and it is normal for symmetry and peace to be full of gratitude.
As for kissing...... They don't shoot a lot of intimate scenes in the play, hugging, hugging, kissing and touching, I'm afraid they have long been accustomed to it. As a thank you, the kiss ceremony does not seem unacceptable.
But is it really as simple as thanks?
That's what journalists need to make up. Different reporters have different content in their brains, and different versions of gossip will be derived. Readers watched it with relish, and it was not a big deal for the heroes and heroines in the scandal.
Wang Guxian didn't care that Zhang Min kissed Chen Ping'an in public, the three of them were used to sleeping together, let alone just kissing?
What she cares about is the new variety show "Love Letter"!
After the premiere of "Eight Stars Annunciation", the dwarf cow drove Chen Ping'an and Wang Guxian back to the villa in the middle of the mountain.
In the car, Wang Guxian asked quietly: "I heard that you plan to star in "Love Letter" in person?" ”
ATV is ready to launch a new variety show, and it has already started to promote it. Although the content of the publicity is relatively vague, the name "Love Letter" and the news that Chen Ping'an personally starred in it have been promoted.
At tonight's premiere, many reporters asked about this variety show. Knowing that this show is attended by six men and six women, through the guò game to understand the end of the heartfelt complaints, and those who can successfully match will also get the final prize, some people suspect that this is a variant of the dinner.
The silver rooster case in the late 70s caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and many stars were interrogated by the police, revealing a shocking scene in the entertainment industry, which shocked Hong Kong people. Although the police made great efforts to rectify it at that time, it was extremely difficult to prevent similar things, and it has long since resurfaced, but few people have publicly broken it.
And as the police intensified their efforts to rectify the situation, the response measures also began to escalate, such as the commonplace dinners in the circle.
The wealthy intend to use the platform of guò dinner to meet more beautiful celebrities and expand the scope of life communication; or through the matchmaking of intermediaries, meet the female artist you have admired for a long time, and then start to pursue it fiercely; or enhance your identity, invite beautiful celebrities to accompany you to dinner, add glory to yourself and win face; Of course, there are also special dinners, where money is exchanged for something.
Actresses participate in rich dinners, not only to gain money, but also to expand their networks, and to seek breakthroughs in their lives and careers.
Both of them are people with a certain status, so they need a fixed group of people as a medium to organize the dinner, so the dinner middleman was born.
As early as the early 80s, there were middlemen who took actresses in and out of dinners to earn intermediary fees. A down-and-out female artist, when her career and family are unsatisfactory, changed her career to "Ma Sang in the entertainment industry", and when she first entered the industry, she was able to guarantee an average of three meals a day, and a thousand yuan of income for one meal.
This gray area has always existed, and even the police have been unable to eradicate it. The public knows very little, and most of them can only be known through guò media reports, and they have to ponder whether it is true or false, but most of the insiders know about it.
To put it bluntly, it is to match female celebrities with rich people.
The variety show "Love Letter" here seems to be somewhat similar to the dinner, the only difference is that the man is not a rich man but a male star. But most of the famous male stars are worth a lot of money, and they can be regarded as rich.
Isn't there anything greasy in this?
This is purely a malicious association of some reporters, and Chen Ping'an does not care. The so-called self-purification may not be easy for others, but most of them can succeed for him.
To put it mildly, with his current net worth, does he need to earn this kind of intermediary fee?
Amusing!
Wang Guxian also thinks that the reporter's random speculation is very irresponsible, but many young and beautiful actresses, Chen Ping'an will be very unsafe to participate in it! Who can guarantee that no one wants to be close to Chen Ping'an and seek fame and fortune?
She was very worried that the amorous Chen Ping'an would not be able to resist the temptation of pure breath. R1152
