Chapter 155: The Mother of the Paparazzi
Since it was the first day of start-up, the crew called it a day before it got dark. When Chen Ping'an left the Yonghua studio, there were reporters at the door of the studio, chatting and smoking cigarettes idly. Seeing him come out, these reporters were immediately excited, and followed him to the parking lot with a swagger, but when they saw him and the dwarf cow getting into the car, they didn't see Wang Guxian or Li Saifeng, and some reporters couldn't bear it.
"Mr. Chen, has the crew called it a day?" A benevolent brother stopped Chen Ping'an's car with a camera.
"Look for death!" The dwarf bull slammed on the brakes and scolded.
Chen Ping'an lowered the window and stuck out his head: "That's right, didn't you see the staff coming out?" ”
Of course I see, the question is how can you leave alone? "Are you going home?"
"Oh? Is there a problem? Or are you going to invite me to dinner? But I'm sorry, if you're a beauty, maybe I'll say yes, hehe. ”
"Then I'm a beauty!" Another female reporter rushed over and stood in front of Chen Ping'an, dressed smartly with short hair.
"You are?"
"Ming Bao Cha Xiaoxin!"
Cha Xiaoxin? The mother of the Hong Kong paparazzi? Chen Ping'an's eyes lit up, looked at the other party for a moment, and said with a smile: "Zha Xiaoxin, I remember you, I will look for you when I go back." ”
"Mr. Chen, are you threatening me?"
"Threats? Haha, it should be said that it is an invitation, and you will understand in the future. ”
The reporters outside the studio gathered around, and when they heard the word "invite", their eyes at Zha Xiaoxin became strange...... Could it be that Chen Ping'an is going to have an affair with reporters today?
Zha Xiaoxin said loudly: "Please ask Mr. Chen to make his words clear." ”
"When the officials are entangled, you will naturally understand what I mean." Chen Ping'an simply ordered the dwarf cow to drive, but the reporter refused to back down, and the reporter who stopped the front of the car first asked, "Mr. Chen, are you just leaving?" ”
"What else do you want?" Chen Ping'an made a sudden realization, "Ha, you won't have been waiting for my scandal, right?" ”
Isn't it! Who doesn't know that if you start a new play, you must have an affair with an actress to promote the movie. And the two heroines of "Ghost Fighting Zombies", Wang Guxian and Li Saifeng, are very beautiful.
The reporters didn't speak, but they didn't move their steps, Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "I'm afraid you've waited in vain, Dark Horse International's movies don't necessarily have to be promoted through scandals." ”
No wonder I didn't see the reporter of the Oriental Daily!
The reporter of "Sing Tao Daily" was furious. He came in the afternoon, and after the colleague was thrown out of the set in the morning, he had already returned to the agency to catch up with the press release, although he missed the opening ceremony, but as the only reporter who was kicked out of the set, it was also an honor, and there was enough news material.
At noon, he received a notice from the editor-in-chief to go to the Yonghua studio to squat outside the door of Chen Ping'an's scandal, and he was happy that he thought that his opportunity had come, who wanted to wait for an afternoon, but he got nothing!
"It's too much! You're teasing the media! ”
"Sing Tao Daily, right?" Chen Ping'an glanced at him, "Did I ask you to wait here?" ”
The dwarf cow drove away, and the reporters looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly and sighed and left.
Zha Xiaoxin looked at the Mercedes-Benz S in the distance, full of doubts: Invite? Official non-official? What do you mean?
Chen Ping'an asked the dwarf cow to send him directly back to the villa in the middle of the mountain, changed his clothes, put on a hat and sunglasses, drove the silver-gray BMW to Qixianwei, and dialed Wang Guxian's pager in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall.
Ten minutes later, Wang Guxian, who was also wearing a hat and sunglasses and long hair tied at the back of his head, trotted all the way to the parking lot, pulled the car door and got in, threw himself into Chen Ping'an's arms, and said coquettishly: "Brother An, am I good today?" ”
Since becoming Chen Ping'an's woman, Wang Guxian has never dared to forget Chen Ping'an's rules. Passion scenes definitely can't be filmed, and kiss scenes are naturally not good, at most they are hugging and the like, and they can't hug too tightly.
Chen Ping'an said very clearly, in the past, he could not care, but not in the future. So on the set today, she deliberately always made mistakes in the kiss scene with Liu Dehua, also to wait for Chen Ping'an and let the latter see it, which is a bit of an invitation.
"Good, my little sage is the best." Chen Ping'an understood what Wang Guxian was referring to, and hugged her and kissed her, "Hungry or not, there is a new French restaurant in Central, shall we go eat foie gras?" ”
"Okay, good, Brother An is so good to me!"
Central, Hong Kong, is the heart of Hong Kong Island and the commercial, financial and banking centre of Hong Kong. Since the 70s and 80s, with the construction of multi-storey skyscrapers in Central, including the headquarters of banks, and the boom in the financial market, many of Hong Kong's major business activities have taken place in Central, and many Hong Kong people are proud to work in Central.
The gathering of gold-collar and white-collar workers has made high-end restaurants abound in Central, and what Chen Ping'an took Wang Guxian to was a very high-end membership-based French restaurant. This restaurant serves authentic French cuisine, and the chef is from France and is also quite famous in France. The conditions for becoming a member are very demanding, in addition to the requirements for net worth, you must also be a successful person in various industries.
Most of the people who come and go to this restaurant are Hong Kong celebrities and gentlemen, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, as well as their children. Even if some of the children are second ancestors, they are all gentle and elegant when they come here, for fear of accidentally losing the face of the family and being punished by the family.
In this environment, not to mention that Wang Guxian has not yet become popular, even if Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia come, it will not cause any movement, let alone lead onlookers. On the contrary, it was Wang Guxian, who saw the elites in the business world and officialdom, and excitedly pulled Chen Ping'an to whisper, after all, she was still a nineteen-year-old girl.
The waiter next to him was dissatisfied and wanted to signal Wang Guxian to disturb the other guests to eat, but as soon as he came over, Chen Ping'an gave him a cold look, and he didn't dare to apologize and retreat to the side with a smile.
"Is it necessary to be so excited, you are my man." Chen Ping'an whispered a word to Wang Zuxian, who playfully stuck out his tongue: "People didn't expect you to bring people to such a high-end place." ”
"Is it upscale? I'll get you a membership card later, and when you want to come, you can bring your friends at any time. ”
Wang Guxian flattened his mouth: "It's so expensive ...... here"
"Little girl, you're still fighting with me, believe it or not, I won't do it for you!"
"Well, Brother An, I was wrong, I can't do it if I'm wrong."
In this restaurant, you only need cash when you give tips, and you don't need to pay in cash. When applying for a membership card, you need to pay 1 million in advance, and the cost of eating at the restaurant will be recorded in the computer and automatically deducted from this money. Although the conditions are harsh, it is a status symbol, and the second son of a super-rich man in Hong Kong who runs this French restaurant is also the second son, so no one thought that the restaurant would run away with money.
After listening to Chen Ping'an's introduction, Wang Guxian smiled like a crescent moon, and his calves rubbed against Chen Ping'an's legs under the table, showing his courtesy.
After eating, the two found a nearby cinema and bought two tickets for a couple's private room, and Chen Ping'an bought drinks and popcorn, and the two enjoyed the sweetness of dating just like ordinary couples.
Because he had to go to the set to film tomorrow, Chen Ping'an did not take Wang Guxian back to the villa, but went to Fei'e Mountain to watch the night view...... Watching the night view has become Chen Ping'an's usual excuse, and under the gorgeous night view, the feeling of car vibration is even more exciting.
When he came to the set the next day, Chen Ping'an found that there were still several reporters squatting outside the studio, and he couldn't help laughing.
You still want to wait for my scandal!
Hey, why is she here?
Among the five or six reporters squatting, Chen Ping'an saw Zha Xiaoxin and was a little disappointed.
He walked over and asked, "You can't be waiting for my scandal too, are you?" ”
"What if I say yes?" Zha Xiaoxin asked rhetorically.
"If so, I'll be disappointed."
"Disappointed in me?"
"What do you say?"
Zha Xiaoxin's heart was excited, and when Chen Ping'an took the initiative to come over just now, her heart began to be nervous.
Chen Ping'an's inexplicable words yesterday, especially the word "invite", made her look forward to it. Chen Ping'an's innate insightful statement was first stirred up by "Oriental Daily", and many citizens believed it, but most reporters were skeptical. They are all insiders, and the circles inside are very clear.
Before yesterday, Zha Xiaoxin didn't believe it, even if many actors were shining in Chen Ping'an's hands, she was also skeptical about the so-called natural insight. However, yesterday, Chen Ping'an's inexplicable "invitation" made her a little moved.
It's normal for water to flow to lower places and people to go higher places. Besides, Chen Ping'an didn't recognize her before, and she didn't think that her appearance could attract Chen Ping'an, so she suspected that Chen Ping'an was really born with insight and saw her potential.
She slept very unsteadily last night, woke up early in the morning, and rushed to the Yonghua studio under the pretext of capturing Chen Ping'an's scandal, just to ask Chen Ping'an to understand.
When Chen Ping'an saw her and took the initiative to come over, she was suspicious, and after hearing Chen Ping'an's words, she confirmed her guess: "Mr. Chen wants to make a newspaper?" ”
"Hehe, I don't have that idea yet."
In the 80s, Hong Kong had an extremely developed journalism industry, which was the largest in the world in terms of population and number of newspapers. Hong Kong people are accustomed to reading newspapers, and they buy several or even a dozen copies at a time, which makes Hong Kong, with a population of millions, feed hundreds of newspapers, and more and more investors are turning their attention to the newspaper industry.
Zha Xiaoxin thought that Chen Ping'an wanted to run a newspaper, so he chose herself, but she didn't know that Chen Ping'an knew the subsequent predicament of the Hong Kong newspaper industry, and the paparazzi didn't necessarily have to report the news through the guò newspaper.
"What did Mr. Chen mean by the invitation he said yesterday?"
"Look at the dark circles under your eyes, I guess you didn't sleep last night, right? I apologize for the trouble, and you will understand my words in the future. ”
Walking into the set, the crew and staff have arrived, and under the command of Wang Jing, all departments are ready, and they can start filming just when Chen Ping'an comes.
Chen Ping'an sat on the side and watched Wang Jing filming, and after shooting more than a dozen shots, he felt that the effect was okay, so he called Wu Mengda and Wu Junru to the side: "How is the grasp of the characters in the play?" ”R1152
