Chapter 242 The heroine of a horror movie

A "A Chinese Ghost Story" made Wang Guxian a popular actress across the year. The popularity accumulated for her in the summer of 1986 in "Ghost Fighting Zombies" and "Wife Killing Duo", with the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", it also helped her become a first-line actress.

Among the female artists of Dark Horse International, with the classic image of Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story", her fame has directly caught up with Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia, which makes people once again appreciate Chen Ping'an's star-making ability.

"Coming to America" was released in the United States and touched the hearts of many people. is not only concerned about how high the return of the second fundraising order is, but also because this drama is about whether Lin Qingxia can become the second Zhong Chuhong, and whether Chen Ping'an's star-making ability is equally effective in the United States.

If Zhong Chuhong's success is just a temporary fluke for Chen Ping'an, then once Lin Qingxia succeeds, it proves that Chen Ping'an's star-making ability kills both inside and outside.

But according to the news from the United States, the success of "Coming to America" is undoubted. Murphy, whose first attempt at comedy roles was widely recognized, even said in an interview with the New York Times that it was Chen Ping'an who discovered his comedic talent and highly recommended Chen Ping'an.

But Lin Qingxia ...... is not as popular as Zhong Chuhong after the release of "Ghost Love", and the American audience's evaluation of her is only middle and upper. If she is a second- or third-tier actor in the United States, the middle and upper table is enough to increase her popularity and increase her value, but Lin Qingxia is a Chinese and has not been recognized by Americans.

There were even newspaper reviews that the film would have worked better if it had starred a black actress.

Although "Coming to America" is still in theaters, Chen Ping'an's first attempt to open the Hollywood market for Lin Qingxia failed. Even in an interview with reporters, Chen Ping'an did not admit it. But in the eyes of the public, Lin Qingxia's trip to Hollywood came to an end.

This morning, Zhou Yanfa was filming in the crew of "Dragon and Tiger", and the crew of "God of Gamblers" only started work in the afternoon, including night scenes, so Chen Ping'an came to the company in the morning. Thinking about the allocation of time in the first half of the year.

The Spring Festival in 87 is relatively early, and the 29th of this month is the Spring Festival, and the New Year's stalls start a week in advance, and the 22nd New Year should begin.

In order to catch up with the Chinese New Year, the filming arrangements of the two crews of "God of Gamblers" and "Dragon and Tiger" are very tight, which is very busy for Zhou Runfa. Running back and forth between the two crews. Fortunately, the shooting speed of Hong Kong movies has always been fast, and Chen Ping'an is confident that he will save a lot of unnecessary shots, so "God of Gamblers" will definitely be completed on time, and "Dragon and Tiger" in New Arts City will not be delayed.

After the Chinese New Year, the filming of "Huang Feihong" and "Prison Storm" will start. It is scheduled to be released in the summer vacation. Before he left for the United States to shoot "Rain Man", he still had to shoot that horror film, and the time had to be calculated.

He was arranging time here, and Lin Qingxia came to the door of the office.

Amy is sorting out the texts, classifying last year's texts, archiving them, throwing them into the shredder for scrap, and pulling them out while they are still in progress. It's busy. Seeing Lin Qingxia coming in, she hurriedly dropped the text in her hand: "Sister Qingxia!" ”

"Busy? Is the boss inside? ”

"In. Wait a minute. Amy dialed the phone and put it down after a moment. Sister Qingxia, go in, the boss is waiting inside. ”

"Then you keep busy." Lin Qingxia smiled, pushed the door and walked into the office.

Chen Ping'an got up to greet him: "Why did Sister Qingxia think of coming to me today?" ”

"What, aren't you welcome?"

"Why, don't you have to attend the event today?"

"There's a business party in the evening, and there's nothing to do during the day."

The two came to the reception area. Sitting on the couch, Amy brought in two cups of coffee a few minutes later.

"Congratulations. "A Chinese Ghost Story" was a big hit, and the boss made a lot of money. Xiaoxian is also on fire. ”

Last Christmas, Chen Ping'an starred in "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", which allowed Zhong Chuhong to enter Hollywood; Today's Christmas, "A Chinese Ghost Story" starring Chen Ping'an completely became popular with Wang Guxian. After Chen Ping'an returned to Hong Kong, he starred in a total of two plays, and the heroines of both plays were great successes. It is no wonder that in the current film industry, there is a saying in private that the heroine who can play with Chen Ping'an will succeed.

Wang Guxian became the hottest female star in 86, if some people said before that Li Saifeng and Wang Guxian competed this year, but as soon as "A Chinese Ghost Story" came out, Wang Guxian led it alone.

It is for this reason that Wang Guxian easily accepted Yi Nengjing, a sister.

After Chen Ping'an came back from Wu Siyuan's house that night, the housekeeper Fu Bo first brought him bad news - Wang Guxian came and saw Yi Nengjing, who was eating double-headed abalone. also said that the second daughter had not moved in his bedroom for a long time, and he didn't know what he was doing.

When he first learned about this, Chen Ping'an was still scratching his head, worried about what was going on, who wanted to go back to the bedroom, but was surprised to find that Wang Guxian and Yi Nengjing were playing checkers in the room, and their sisters and sisters were calling kindly, a peaceful and peaceful scene.

At first he was worried that it was calm before the storm, and several verbal temptations. It wasn't until the three of them bathed and the two daughters served him together that he was sure that the scene of harmonious coexistence was real.

The only thing that made him strange was that at the insistence of his second daughter, he watered Yi Nengjing's body once, but moisturized Wang Guxian twice. Especially for the third time, he was going to sleep, not only did Wang Guxian disagree, Yi Nengjing actually ran to the bathroom and called a basin of warm water, wiped it for him and used his mouth to help him find his passion, and then helped Wang Guxian sit up.

After a long time, he learned that the reason why Yi Nengjing did such a strange thing three times that night was because the second daughter played checkers, and Wang Guxian won Yi Nengjing one more time, so he had to get Chen Ping'an's rain and dew one more time than Yi Nengjing.

Chen Ping'an, who learned the truth, was speechless.

"You can't always be jealous of Xiaoxian, right?" Chen Ping'an joked, "Sister Qingxia has something to do today?" ”

Lin Qingxia hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that Director Sun has a new drama that wants me to star. ”

Since he and Yang Zhicheng abandoned their previous suspicions, Xinyicheng immediately started close cooperation with Chen Ping'an like Golden Harvest and Debao.

Chen Ping'an until Zhou Runfa starred in "Dragon and Tiger", which made Super New Art City feel Chen Ping'an's sincerity. With the support of Yang Zhicheng, Yu Cheng decided to cooperate with Dark International in an all-round way.

Two days ago, Sun Zhong came to Zhang Guozhong with a film appointment, and wanted to invite Liang Jiahui and Lin Qingxia to star in the new drama "Killing Beauty" in Xinyicheng.

Taiwan has just lifted the ban on Liang Jiahui, and his salary is not high; Although Lin Qingxia is famous, the salary of Hong Kong actresses has always been much lower than that of male stars. So the cost of this drama is not high. It can also be regarded as an attempt by Super New Art City in the aspect of small production zuò.

Zhang Guozhong had no opinion, and asked Sun Zhong to leave the script, saying that after returning to Lin Qingxia and Liang Jiahui to read it, he had no opinion. Who wants Chen Ping'an to tell him directly, and only agrees to Liang Jiahui to act. As for Lin Qingxia, he asked Zhang Guozhong to directly reject Sun Zhong.

"Do you want to star in Killer Woman?"

Since "Sword and Horse", Lin Qingxia's acting career has been a bit downhill. After Chen Ping'an leveled Taiwan for her, not only did the number of films she film, but the quality of the two dramas she filmed was not high.

"Coming to the United States" poured a lot of hope into her, and she also hopes to be able to gain a foothold in the United States like Zhong Chuhong. But it backfired. Although the response to "Coming to America" was good, although the actor Eddie. Murphy succeeded in giving the audience a glimpse of his comedic talent, but this qiē had nothing to do with her.

This year, she plans to make a few more films, through the quantitative change to cause the qualitative change, after maintaining a sufficient appearance rate, looking for opportunities to take on a few excellent films.

Chen Ping'an frowned: "That book is not very good." ”

"I know, but I don't have any other appointments right now."

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Because of "Coming to the United States"? ”

Lin Qingxia did not answer. acquiesced to Chen Ping'an's guess. Chen Ping'an couldn't cry or laugh: "As for Sister Mo Qingxia, you are not a little girl who has just become famous, and "Coming to the United States" has a very good box office. ”

"I know when I first came to Hong Kong to develop. Why didn't you join a film company all the time? Lin Qingxia took a sip of coffee and said in a quiet voice, "The pressure of filming is so great, I don't want to bear the pressure of the company anymore......"

chose Dark Horse International because Chen Ping'an gave her a strong sense of security and was able to shelter her from the wind and rain. Although Chen Ping'an is much younger than her. But in the past year, with the rapid development of Dark Horse International. She felt a lot of pressure. In the past, Zhong Chuhong was developing better and better in the United States, and Wang Guxian was closely catching up. And her acting career seems to be stuck in a bottleneck and stagnant.

Her fame and popularity are high, but it is precisely because of this that she feels a lot of pressure. "Coming to America" was regarded by her as a breakthrough, but the breakthrough failed, which inevitably made her a little disappointed.

Chen Ping'an moved to her side and held her hand: "Sister Qingxia, do you believe me?" ”

"What do you say?"

"Isn't that enough? I never let down anyone who trusts me, especially you. "Coming to America" is just an attempt, and it's the first step you can take to break into Hollywood. I've never conceded defeat to journalists, and you still don't understand what I mean? ”

"Are you?"

Chen Ping'an nodded: "Do you remember when I said I wanted to make a horror movie last year?" ”

"You want me to act in a horror movie?"

"Hehe, Sister Qingxia, you won't be afraid, right?"

"But the box office of horror movies has always been hot......"

"Because I didn't shoot it."

Chen Ping'an's strong self-confidence infected Lin Qingxia. She just likes the sense of security that Chen Ping'an brings her, as well as the strong self-confidence that Chen Ping'an has.

"I believe in you." Lin Qingxia smiled, "Can I read the script first?" Seeing Chen Ping'an's hesitation, she asked, "What, haven't you written it yet?" ”

"It's not that I didn't write it, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep after reading it."

"It's just a script."

"You said it yourself, don't blame me if you're too scared to sleep in the future."

Chen Ping'an took out a script from the safe and handed it to Lin Qingxia: "You put it away, return it to me after reading it, I plan to start filming in April and May." ”

Now that the script of the horror film has been handed over to Lin Qingxia, Chen Ping'an plans to finalize part of the script as much as possible. After Lin Qingxia left, he asked Amy to notify Wu Yusen to come to his office.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Wu Yusen came quickly, and since he was busy with the script collection competition, he didn't have much to do, and took time to spend with his family and enjoy a warm and beautiful family time.

"How's it going? Did the year-end bonus scare my sister-in-law? ”

As a leading film company, year-end bonuses and dividends at the end of the year are naturally indispensable. Last year's dividends were shared by Chen Ping'an, and at that time, there were few people in the company, and it was relatively simple to share.

This year was different, and it took two days just to calculate the dividends. Fortunately, Shi Nansheng is responsible for these things, she has formulated the dividend rules early, and everyone knows it, so everyone gets a different amount, but no one is dissatisfied because of this.

As one of the highest-grossing directors of Dark Horse International, Wu Yusen has a lot of year-end dividends. Chen Ping'an has never been a calculating person in terms of money, and he is very generous to his own people. And he doesn't have a strong concept of money, just like Zhang Ziyang asked him to report the company's earnings in the past year, and he started to nap when he heard it.

The dwarf cow didn't like to listen to these numbers, so he directly asked Zhang Ziyang to tell Chen Ping'an that he had as much net worth as he had now.

2.3 billion Hong Kong dollars is Zhang Ziyang's answer, which is still after deducting the investment cost of "Rain Man", "Autumn Fairy Tale" has not been released, "Coming to the United States", "A Chinese Ghost Story" The local box office cannot be settled, and it has not been released overseas, and the overseas box office of "Bloody Heroes", "Magic Jade" and "Favorite" has not yet been recorded.

Among them, "The Love of People and Ghosts" has brought Chen Ping'an income of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and he has been committed to investing in the property market, which has also made his net worth climb with the property market, plus several movies shot in the first half of the year, the total net worth is currently more than 2.3 billion.

The amount of 2.3 billion makes the dwarf cow completely lose its concept of money. When he first met Chen Ping'an, the latter also asked Shang Geyundun to borrow money. And now, in just two years, Chen Ping'an's has earned 2.3 billion...... No wonder the boss is going to start a film company, making movies is too profitable!

The dwarf cow fell into a state of cuteness and did not hear Zhang Ziyang's words. If he hears it, he is afraid that he will be stimulated and faint.

The 2.3 billion is only Zhang Ziyang's statistics on the film company and the property units owned by Chen Ping'an, not counting other companies, and even the dark horse cinema line fully controlled by Chen Ping'an. If you add all of these, Chen Ping'an has assets of more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong and Taiwan alone, and don't forget that Chen Ping'an also owns 70% of the shares of two companies in the United States!

He did not ask these companies to distribute profits. For those companies, it's still in its infancy, it takes money to scale, and he's not afraid of someone getting the hang of it. It is very worthwhile to spend a small amount of money to recognize a person, and more importantly, no one can be greedy for his money and be safe!

Not only did he know this, but everyone else knew it too. (To be continued) R580
