"Did Mr. Hoffman come to New York specifically to see me for the Rain Man script?"

In the café of the Manhattan Hotel, Chen Ping'an, Zhong Chuhong, Dustin Hoffman and his agent sat together.

Knowing that Dustin Hoffman was coming to find him, Chen Ping'an told Zhang Wanting to finish work early today, and he was going to take Zhong Chuhong to see Dustin Hoffman.

As a New Wave director who returned from studying in the United States, Zhang Wanting certainly knew Dustin Hoffman. This little man who is nearly fifty years old is known as one of the four talented actors in Hollywood, the Oscar winner in 79, and an acting star who enjoys the reputation of "chameleon" in Hollywood.

Politely greeting and praising Zhong Chuhong, after the simple and regular politeness between the two sides, Chen Ping'an got straight to the point. Dustin Hoffman also did not deny it: "That's true, I heard that this script is from Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen is also going to direct this movie himself?" ”

"Questions?"

"I was very interested in the script and I loved the character of Raymond Babbitt. I wonder when Mr. Chan is going to start filming this film. ”

Interesting! Chen Ping'an smiled, took a sip of Blue Mountain coffee, closed his eyes and was silent, as if he was reminiscing about the strong aroma of coffee. Dustin's agent thought Chen Ping'an was rude and wanted to open his mouth to remind him but was stopped by Dustin.

After a few minutes, Chen Ping'an opened his eyes and smiled: "Has Mr. Hoffman heard of Chinese tea?" ”

"I've tasted it, and a friend brought it to me from the East."

"Unlike coffee, drinking tea requires patience and time. It is not possible to drink the hot water as soon as it goes down, but it takes a certain amount of time to make the tea and let the aroma of the tea blend into the water. The same is true for the movie "Rain Man". ”

"What do you mean?"

"When to turn it on, it's up to you, it's not me who has the final say."

"Oh?" Dustin Hoffman was interested, "Why should it depend on me?" ”

"Because the character of Raymond Babbitt is autistic, this kind of person is more special, isn't it?"

Dustin Hoffman also smiled: "I hope that the next time we meet, Mr. Chen can give me some tea from China." ”

"It's my pleasure to ask for a friend."

Dustin Hoffman smiled and left with his agent, not touching the Blue Mountain coffee on the table.

Zhong Chuhong urged Chen Ping'an: "You still haven't stopped him?" ”

"Why should I stop him?"

"Didn't you ask him to make a movie? He is a powerful star, if he can join, it will definitely help the box office! "These days, Zhong Chuhong already knows that Chen Ping'an came to the United States this time to start filming "Lethal Weapon" for Shang Geyunton, and there is another movie in preparation, and Dustin Hoffman is one of the leading actors." He is willing to come to you, which means that he is very interested in your movie, and you still haven't finalized the schedule, what kind of 'coffee' and 'tea' do you tell him? ”

"Huh." Chen Ping'an smiled and stroked Zhong Chuhong's thigh, "I really deserve to be my virtuous helper." ”

"Nasty!" Zhong Chuhong was coquettish, "People tell you seriously!" You go after him, it's still too late. With your incorruptible tongue, you will definitely be able to convince him. ”

"He's already agreed. You forget, I said you have a prosperous husband. ”

At the same time, Dustin Hoffman's agent had already started the car, looked in the rearview mirror, and asked, "Dustin, have you decided?" ”

Dustin Hoffman, who was in the back seat, was still reading the script of "Rain Man", and nodded when he heard this: "Yes." Chen is a serious director, and it is no accident that several of his films have been able to succeed. I loved the script so much that after talking to him, I was confident that he would be able to make the film well. ”

Like Tom Cruise, although he likes the script of "Rain Man" very much, he has concerns about Chen Ping'an, a Chinese director. Especially in the eyes of American filmmakers, Chen Ping'an, the director, is a little out of tune.

If Chen Ping'an was in a hurry to shoot "Rain Man", he would not hesitate to refuse, because Chen Ping'an's attitude towards the movie was not serious. As Chen Ping'an said, autistic people are a special group of people, and it takes time to perform well like making tea.

"After returning to the hotel in a while, you call Anne and tell her that I agree to shoot, and let her arrange the rest."

"Autumn Fairy Tale" is still being filmed, Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong's performances are very exciting, and the love between the bow ruler and the tea pot is vividly expressed in the hearts of the two in the love that is difficult to achieve results.

So much so that one night, after ML, Zhong Chuhong snuggled in Chen Ping'an's arms and said with a little sentimentality: "A'an, is your affection for me like a tea pot to a ship's bow ruler?" ”

There is a kind of man who you like to be with, but if you want to marry him, you won't. Changed between her and Chen Ping'an, it became that Chen Ping'an liked to be with her very much, but he wanted to marry her, but he was unwilling.

Chen Ping'an felt the sadness in Zhong Chuhong's heart, hugged her tightly, and kissed her cheeks and earlobes: "The ending of fairy tales is always good, don't they meet in the end?" And the bow ruler has a successful career, shouldn't the two of them be together forever? Come on, little darling, let's continue to fulfill their unfulfilled wishes for the bow ruler and the tea pot! ”

……

On the third day after meeting Dustin Hoffman, Chen Ping'an received a call from Anne Heard and learned that Tom Cruise refused to take on "Rain Man".

If you refuse, you will refuse, and you won't eat pork without Zhang Butcher?

Chen Ping'an is not annoyed, isn't there still Brad Pitt? To say that Brad Pitt is also quite handsome, he laughs with a bit of a bad feeling, which is also in line with the image of Charlie Babbitt in the script, not to mention that he is an artist in his own company.

So he told Annie Heard on the phone that he didn't need to contact Tom Cruise anymore, and the role of Charlie Babbitt was given to Brad Pitt.

Since playing the villain Carl in "The Ghost Is Not Over", Brad Pitt has really stepped into the Hollywood film industry and is well known. For most of the past six months, Li Xiaolin has also helped him shoot two movies, both of which are small roles, and the scenes are not as good as "People and Ghosts".

Knowing that Chen Ping'an appointed him to star in "Rain Man", he jumped up excitedly in front of Anne Heard, if he hadn't seen Anne Heard's cold eyes, he would have hugged each other and kissed each other.

After Anne Heard left, he called Chen Ping'an to express his gratitude, but no one answered. In the evening, Chen Ping'an returned to the hotel after the crew finished work, and was saying that he would take a shower first, when he received a call from Brad Pitt.

In the face of Brad Pitt's gratitude, Chen Ping'an just smiled faintly and said that he was very optimistic about his achievements in the film industry in the future, so that from now on, he would study the script and analyze the psychology of the characters, so as to prepare for filming next year. Chen Ping'an also told her that "Rain Man" will become a classic movie no less than "People and Ghosts", and if he can seize the opportunity, he is expected to be a blockbuster.

The two leading actors of "Rain Man" have been finalized, Annie Heard as the producer of this film, and the rest of the work will be handed over to her, and Chen Ping'an only needs to come to the United States to shoot next year.

For Zhong Chuhong, the days with Chen Ping'an are always full of happiness, but the happy days are often short-lived, and before they have time to enjoy themselves, they end in the blink of an eye.

In late October, "Autumn Fairy Tale" was completed, and Chen Ping'an held a finale banquet at the Manhattan Hotel, in addition to the crew members, there were also two reporters from the "Oriental Daily". After Chen Ping'an arrived in New York, "Oriental Daily" sent two reporters to report in detail on Chen Ping'an's trip to New York and the filming of "Autumn Fairy Tale".

The Black Business and Professions Association hosted a banquet for Chen Ping'an, and the black newspapers referred to Chen Ping'an as "eternal true friend," which was presented to the people of Hong Kong by the Oriental Daily. However, these things are too far away for the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens and have little interest, and they are concerned about the filming process of "Autumn Fairy Tale" and what kind of classic film Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong will bring to Hong Kong citizens after "The Love of People and Ghosts".

Halfway through the banquet, Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong disappeared.

Tomorrow the crew will return to Hong Kong, and Chen Ping'an will also walk with the crew. After a short distance, the two were about to separate again, Zhong Chuhong was reluctant to let others share the alone time between himself and Chen Ping'an, and the two only used two glances, and they quietly left the finale banquet one after the other, enjoying the last time of the two before separation.

After more than a month of shooting, Zhang Wanting has already noticed the relationship between Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong. The play "Autumn Fairy Tale" is delicate and beautiful, and Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong's expressions in the play are too real, and the reality is unbelievable. Especially the eyes of the two, as if they are alive, Zhang Wanting thinks that the most difficult emotional drama is a piece of cake for the two. The expressions, movements, and eyes seem to be not the two of them playing the bow ruler and the tea pot, but the bow ruler and the tea pot are possessed.

How could Zhang Wanting, who was delicate, not see that Zhong Chuhong's eyes looking at Chen Ping'an in the play were sometimes not acting at all, but the expression of true feelings. And Chen Ping'an is naturally skilled in helping and taking care of Zhong Chuhong, which is also not like acting, as if it really happened.

The two of them starred in this movie, which couldn't be more suitable.

Zhang Wanting said this sentence to her husband Luo Qirui more than once in private.

Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong left the finale banquet, and they were soon discovered, at this time Zhang Wanting came forward to cover up for the two, saying that Zhong Chuhong was uncomfortable, and Chen Ping'an sent her back first. Zhang Wanting is the director, in this play, even Chen Ping'an has retreated from "boss" to "Andy", who dares not to listen to her words? Who wouldn't believe it?

That night, Chen Ping'an found that Zhong Chuhong had a feeling of Zhang Manyu's possession, and became wild and unrestrained, and at first he completely took the initiative, frantically asking for it in the posture of a woman and a man. It wasn't until she got out of the clouds a few times that she got off Chen Ping'an, opened her legs and threatened: "If I can get out of bed tomorrow, I will never let you get on the plane!" ”

Zhong Chuhong succeeded. That night, Chen Ping'an incarnated as Qilang again, almost dying, and she leaked nearly twenty times, and the whole person was lying on the bed with a floating feeling. For the sixth and seventh times, she didn't have any strength left, lying on the bed and letting Chen Ping'an flip the tart and not speak. Only the sometimes soothing and sometimes gasping moans, the happy and sweet smile on her face, the emotional flush and the screams of every high court, proved that she enjoyed this ephemeral feeling.

The two of them got up very late the next day, and they didn't have much strength on their bodies, so that Chen Ping'an, who had always liked morning exercises, didn't have the energy to do morning exercises. The two of them lay on the bed and hugged each other, saying some sweet words, and slowly recovering to enjoy the quiet time.

Neither of them showed up in the morning, only Zhang Wanting guessed the reason. She didn't bother the two, but let the crew move freely in the morning, go back to the hotel for dinner at noon, and then fly back to Hong Kong in the afternoon.

When it was almost noon, Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong had not yet appeared, Zhang Wanting was worried about arousing the suspicion of others, so she knocked on Chen Ping'an's door.

"Boss, don't forget to have lunch at noon. Also, Honggu didn't show up in the morning, I don't know if it's uncomfortable, when you come down later, stop by to see her. ”

After Zhang Wanting said this sentence through the door, she turned around and went downstairs. Zhong Chuhong's face was red, he took a bite on Chen Ping'an's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "It's all you, and now even Director Zhang knows about it." ”

"If you know, you will know, when you will stop in the future, I will let everyone know that you are my woman, a happy woman."

At the lunch dinner, Li Xiaolin also rushed to see off Chen Ping'an and the crew, and at the same time brought the latest developments of the company.

"Lethal Weapon" has already started filming, directed by Richard Donner, co-starring Changowton and Danny Glover, and will be completed by the end of the year. The general framework of the "Rain Man" crew has been set, Brad Pitt is trying to understand the psychology of the characters to improve his acting skills, Dustin Hoffman has signed the contract, and Anne Heard has arranged for an autistic person and two nurses to live with him so that he can understand the world of autistic people up close. "Coming to America" will be completed in half a month, and when it will be released depends on the coordination between Anne Heard and Twentieth Century Fox.

The matter on the American side has come to an end for the time being, at least Chen Ping'an will not come to the United States again this year, and he can concentrate on dealing with the treacherous waves of the Hong Kong film industry and snatching the box office champion of this year's Christmas file and next year's Chinese New Year file.

In Hong Kong, Dark Horse International can be described as a sole leader.

The box office of "Overlord Flower" of 21 million has made Dark Horse International the biggest winner in the film industry this summer. The three main movies have grossed more than 20 million at the box office, and the cost is not high, "The Sequel to Heroes" and "Ghost Fighting Zombies" have been released in other cities one after another, and they have also achieved good box office. "Overlord Flower" has landed in Taiwan, and Jiang Zhiqiang is contacting the distribution in the Nanyang area.

The successor to "Overlord Flower" is the literary film "Favorite" directed and acted by Zhang Yijia, which has achieved excellent word-of-mouth and rave reviews. However, the box office was slightly insufficient, and it was only a little over 10 million when it was painted. For a literary film, a box office of 10 million is already very good.

After "Favorite" was painted, the Dark Horse Theater released "Magic Jade" directed by Wang Jing. Liu Dehua, who successfully transformed this summer, played the starring role, and the response to this movie was good after its release, and it is not a problem to break through 10 million at the box office a few days ago.

Whether it is the literary film "Favorite" or the sci-fi adventure action film "Magic Jade", they all beat the movies released on the same schedule. As Zou Wenhuai once said, the film industry in the second half of the year will be the only stage of Dark Horse International! R1152
