Chapter 673: Testing the Heroine's "Acting Skills"
On Thursday, September 28, "The Saint of Gambling" will hold its premiere at 7 p.m. at the Taiping Theatre.
At the end of the morning exercise, Zhang Minjiao gasped and fell into Chen Ping'an's arms, and said coquettishly: "Shall I accompany you to the premiere tonight?" ”
"You are the heroine, Ah Xing is the hero; Just like Da Ge and Jun Ru, you are two pairs in this play, of course you have to attend together. ”
"Oh, I'm still not your wife, how can a man push his wife to another man!"
"What nonsense." Chen Ping'an raised his hand and slapped Zhang Min's round buttocks, "It's only because you are the hero and heroine that you attended together...... Ah Xing didn't hit your attention, right? ”
"Giggle." Hearing Chen Ping'an's nervousness, Zhang Min smiled happily and drew circles on his chest, "No, Ah Xing knows how to measure well." It's not just me, Sister Xiaoxian, Ah Mei, Ah V and Michelle, as long as the actress has had an affair with you, basically no one dares to have an idea. Are you satisfied? ”
"Huh. Okay, I have something to do today, let's get up early, I have to go to the company after taking a shower and eating. ”
"It's past nine o'clock, it's still early there!" Zhang Min pursed his lips and hugged Chen Ping'an tightly, "Hug me again, I like the feeling of you hugging me." ”
The two of them stayed in bed for another half an hour before getting up.
Before the meal was finished, Zhang Min received a call from his agent. She still has an event to attend at noon today, and her agent called to remind her not to be late.
At this time, there are really few Hong Kong stars who play big names, and they all pay attention to their own image. The greater the fame, the more affinity it shows. Those stars who play big names, few people inside and outside the circle will get used to it. Most of them end up drowning in one newcomer after another.
"Who's with you tonight?"
Before leaving, Zhang Min still remembered this topic. She also pestered Chen Ping'an to ask last night. But Chen Ping'an just didn't say it. I thought that the descendants of the Gao Dynasty would relax their vigilance, and thought about taking the opportunity to ask Chen Ping'an, but when the matter came to an end, she forgot about this stubble in her mind.
"You don't know tonight. Go ahead, be careful of traffic jams, don't be late. ”
"There's going to be a traffic jam there!" Pouting and muttering, she asked again, "You just tell me if I'm Michelle." ”
"It's not."
"Then I'm leaving!"
Competition is everywhere, in the eyes of Chen Ping'an's woman. Recently, Li Jiaxin has been too favored, and little jealousy is naturally inevitable.
Not long after Zhang Min left, Chen Ping'an also drove to the company, and Wang Jiawei was waiting for him at the door of the office.
"Why don't you go in and wait, Amy?"
Wang Jiawei explained: "No, Amy asked me to go in and wait, but I didn't think it was appropriate and insisted on waiting at the door." ”
"You don't have to be so much in the future, you are one of the pillars of the company's future. Walk in and say. Amy makes two cups of coffee and brings them in. ”
Wang Jiawei came to Chen Ping'an to discuss the movie. He made great efforts in the preparation of the crew this time, and almost all of them were handled by him. The preparatory work of most of Chen Ping'an's films is handed over to the assistant director. In the end, no one objected, but they all thought it was their chance.
But Wang Jiawei came over today. Mainly for the sake of film promotion.
The heroine of the film has not been revealed, and the name of the film has not been announced. Actors who come to audition, even after the selection is confirmed. The script they got also didn't have a name, and they were asked not to leak it to add to the mystery.
Today is the premiere of "The Saint of Gambling", and the veil of mystery is about to be revealed.
There will be a small press conference at two o'clock in the afternoon to announce the content of the film, including the name of the film, although the heroine will not be revealed until the premiere in the evening.
In addition to attracting the public's attention, this is also to build momentum for "The Saint of Gambling".
The reason why the prime time is called the prime time is not for nothing. "The Saint of Gambling" is not released on a prime time, and it is weak in itself, and we must find a way to make up for it. Although there are also high-grossing dark horses in movies released on other schedules, the probability is too low.
Chen Ping'an firmly believes that "The Saint of Gambling" will also be popular when it is released now, but why not make more money at the box office?
Although this afternoon's press conference is small, you can imagine with your toes how many media will come to grab first-hand information, and the scene will certainly not be small.
According to Chen Ping'an's arrangement, he will not attend this afternoon's press conference, and will be handed over to Wang Jiawei, the assistant director, to be responsible, including answering questions from reporters.
Wang Jiawei has not gone through such a big battle, if he is a director, maybe the pressure can be less, and he will bear the good and the bad. But he is only Chen Ping'an's assistant director, and he is very worried that he will make a mistake and smash Chen Ping'an's brand.
After listening to his words, Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Old Wang, you can't do this. You have to show the spirit you had as a director. I've heard Maggie say that when you were filming "Mong Kok Carmen", you didn't buy anyone's account, and you scolded people when they should be angry. This time I wronged you to be my deputy, I can't wear off your sharpness, what I want to see is the real Wang Jiawei, and the company will depend on you in the future! ”
Because of his identity, Chen Ping'an's words are always very demagogic, and Wang Jiawei was aroused by his ambition in his heart, and he was not afraid of this or that.
"If a reporter dares to make trouble at this afternoon's press conference, you can ask the security guard to throw that guy out. But I don't think that's going to happen, just let it go. ”
"Then I'll go back and prepare first."
Wang Jiawei, who was resurrected with full blood, got up and left, full of momentum, Chen Ping'an didn't say to rest for a while, called Guan Yonghe to care about her recent work, talk about her heart, Amy's phone rang, saying that Wang Jing was outside the door.
"Let him in."
"Boss!" Wang Jingle walked in, closed the door, and blinked mysteriously, "My studio has been established, and I am preparing to start a new drama recently, boss, are you interested in taking the time to help me test the heroine's acting skills?" ”
New play? Nima's third-grade film!
In a third-grade film, you asked me to test the heroine's acting skills......
In the flash of light, Chen Ping'an quickly reacted and understood the meaning of Wang Jing's words.
Thinking that in the future, a large number of actresses will become famous with third-level films, and there will be more actresses who will not become famous if they take off, he suddenly felt that it was not all beneficial for Wang Jing to set up a third-level film studio.
"Who's the heroine?"
They are all like-minded people, they are very familiar with each other and understand each other's habits, Chen Ping'an has no need to pretend in front of Wang Jing, the question is very direct, and he asks directly to the point.
Wang Jing gave a thumbs up and said a name he had never heard before. It is said that he used to be an actor of Shaw Brothers, and he looked pretty good, but he never became popular, and now he is playing tricks wirelessly. Wang Jing, who knew Shaw Brothers and wireless very well, found her and persuaded her for two days, and the other party agreed.
Chen Ping'an was not very interested: "Forget it, you can test it yourself." ”
If you want to talk about beautiful women, there is really no shortage of them around him now, and now it is just a psychological problem, and he is interested in those actresses who frequently appear on the big screen in later generations and have not yet become famous.
For example, Wang Jing said the name, he had never heard of it, so he naturally couldn't arouse his interest. With this time, he might as well hide in Li Ruoxun and put some effort into it.
In the later generation of Li Ruoxun's "The Condor Heroes", the scene of the little dragon girl played by Yin Zhiping made him feel blocked for many days at that time, and left a deep impression on him.
Moreover, it is said that Li Ruoxun was also quite pitiful later, and he didn't care about the rich and poor because of his boyfriend, but he was broken up in the end. I also encountered the death of a loved one, and finally suffered from depression, and it took many years of recuperation before I came back.
It's a pity that the speed of renewal in the entertainment industry is getting faster and faster, and in the years when she faded out of the entertainment industry, her position was long ago replaced by others, and she no longer had the popularity of the year.
For such a woman who is willing to share weal and woe with her boyfriend, Chen Ping'an admires it in his heart, and he is also very distressed, if he can, he is willing to change her fate.
Wang Jing was unwilling, and was still persuading: "The person is very beautiful, you will know it when you see it." ”
"Brother Xiang, I know you are for my good. You know I'm not a decent gentleman, but I'm really not interested this time, next time. ”
Wang Jing's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, what you like is a little famous starlet!" ”
Otherwise, they are all like-minded people, and the conversation is very relaxed, and they can guess each other's thoughts with a word, a look, and an expression.
Chen Ping'an smiled and didn't deny it, Wang Jing left with a smile, and asked Chen Ping'an if he was interested in watching it when he turned on the machine when he turned it on.
"Go quickly, if you don't leave, I'll be ruined by you!"
"Still use me to bring it bad? Back then, who could be as sharp-eyed as you and take a fancy to Michelle when she was a girl? With such a vicious gaze, he is definitely a veteran who has been immersed in this way for many years. Ha ha! ”
After Wang Jing left, Chen Ping'an fell into thought.
He was thinking about whether he wanted to make a third-class film at night.
Of course, it is not a third-class movie made in Hong Kong, but the movie that caused an international sensation and controversy - "The Sixth Sense Arrest", cough, also called "Instinct".
Sharon Stone has been scrapped, and she definitely can't appear in this super-restricted movie, the heroine must be replaced, and the male lead......
Forget it, it's better not to make this kind of movie, whoever you love in the future will shoot, anyway, Sharon Stone is definitely over.
He basically doesn't care about things in the company, but there are still a lot of things to deal with. For some important matters, Shi Nansheng and Zhang Yijia are still used to reporting and discussing with him first, and then telling He Chaoqiong after they are settled, and finally perfecting.
This also leads to the fact that when he is in the company, the time is divided, and there is not much free time.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, I finally discussed with Shi Nansheng the 12 star road plan that ATV will launch next year, selected 12 new actors, and focused on packaging and launching, just like the wireless five tigers, which has become the symbol of ATV.
In addition to this incident, Shi Nansheng also brought good news, Huang Rihua, one of the five wireless tigers in the past, is likely to pass ATV next year after the expiration of the contract! (To be continued......)
