Chapter 165: Friendly Premiere
Chen Ping'an's unexpected appearance at the premiere surprised Lei Juekun, Mecca, and Shi Tian, but after the accident, what the three of them had to consider was how to use Chen Ping'an to build momentum for "Happy Ghosts" and achieve a better box office for this movie.
"Mr. Zombie", which was released last Christmas, is a good example, borrowing Chen Ping'an's auspicious words, with a box office of 20 million, Lin Zhenglang became a hit.
Before the premiere officially began, Mecca specially found Jacy Zheng and asked her to do it. After Huang Baiming and the cast and crew came on the stage, Zheng Yuling found the right time, under the pretext that Chen Ping'an was naturally discerning, and invited him to the stage to make a prediction on the box office of "Happy Ghosts", as well as the many actors in the film, who will make a splash with this film.
At that time, Chen Ping'an was thinking about Wu Yusen's successor, and he didn't hear Zheng Yuling's words, so that Zheng Yuling said it twice and he didn't react, until Zhang Manyu reminded him, and he came to his senses.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is clearly his face in the new art city. One by one, the reporters pillowed Godandan, just waiting for the two to break out into a quarrel so that they could write a special book.
"I'm sorry." Chen Ping'an walked on the stage and apologized to the audience first, "I was thinking about the problem just now, I was distracted, and I ask the nine groups of sisters to bear with me." ”
Lucy Cheng is a role model for many ordinary girls in Hong Kong, and she was born in a dubbing newspaper, completely relying on her own efforts and strength, she has gained a firm foothold in the film and television industry with beautiful women, and is widely popular. After entering the film industry, film appointments continued, and at her peak, she filmed nine sets of dramas on the same day, earning her the nickname "Zheng Jiu Group".
"What questions are you thinking about, can you share them live?" Zheng Yuling asked with a smile, not embarrassed.
Chen Ping'an nodded: "I saw that Xinyi City was full of talents, and I was worried, worried that I would lose the summer box office champion this time." ”
No one thought that this was what he was talking about, but this sentence gave Xinyicheng enough face, Lei Juekun, Mecca, and Shi Tian's faces turned cloudy, Huang Baiming smiled gratefully, and took over the conversation: "Mr. Chen is too modest, if you want to say that there are many talents, Dark Horse International is a veritable strong soldier." I'm afraid that the box office champion of this summer vacation is bound to win, right? ”
There was no gunsmoke, no pinching each other, the reporter scolded his mother in his heart, but the audience was greatly benefited. Most of the audience present are "friends of the new art city", and a considerable number of the audience also like Chen Ping'an and like the movies produced by Dark Horse International, they don't want to see the new art city and Dark Horse International go toe-to-toe, making themselves embarrassed, and they don't know which side to support.
How good it is, harmony and harmony, we all support it.
Under the auspices of Lucy Zheng, Chen Ping'an had a simple interaction with the cast and crew of "Happy Ghost Crashing Ghost", and then the most critical moment came, and Jacy Zheng asked Chen Ping'an about the box office prediction of "Happy Ghost Crashing Ghost" in a joking tone.
"One or two million should be fine." Chen Ping'an's answer this time is very vague, "The happy ghost series created by Mr. Huang perfectly embodies the word 'happy', and every year one can make the audience laugh." If I can, I hope to continue filming and bring joy and happiness to the audience every year. ”
Wow –
The audience applauded like a tide, for Chen Ping'an's praise and Chen Ping'an's demeanor. Huang Baiming smiled, and Mecca and Shi Tian looked at each other, their faces full of doubt.
This decrepit boy doesn't want to dig Baiming, right?
The applause fell, and without waiting for Zheng Yuling to ask again, Chen Ping'an took the initiative to speak: "Sister Jiu, you don't have to speak, I know what you want to ask next." After that, he walked between Yuan Jieying and Chen Jialing, hugged the second daughter's small waist, and looked at Zheng Yuling with a smile: "Can the nine sisters be satisfied now?" ”
"No wonder you are the best boyfriend of a girl from Hong Kong and Taiwan, who sued you and I want to ask this?"
"Huh? So what do you want to ask? ”
"I want to ask you the most optimistic actor, and as for the most optimistic actress, I plan to ask later."
"Sister Jiu, you play with me."
"Hahaha!"
The audience resounded with happy laughter, and it was the first time for the audience to see Chen Ping'an's embarrassing appearance, not ridiculed, but cute, which was in line with the image of a 22-year-old big brother and big boy next door.
The laughter gradually stopped, and Zheng Yuling continued: "I'll ask again now, which actor in this play are you most optimistic about?" ”
Chen Ping'an pretended to be annoyed: "Can I question the ignorance of this question?" There is only one actor in this play, do you still need me to see Brother Baiming's achievements? Sister Nine Groups, Brother Baiming won't owe you money, right? ”
"Hahahaha!"
The audience burst into laughter, Huang Baiming couldn't help laughing, and even Zheng Yuling herself laughed.
The evaluation of Zheng Yuling inside and outside the circle is very good, cheerful, honest and polite, hard-working, and principled, she is a rare good actor, but there is one shortcoming that is also recognized inside and outside the circle - it must be compared.
It is her principle that she must collect money for filming, no matter who the other party is, she must pay for filming, even if she makes up two scenes after the finale, she has to pay extra salary. There was a time when almost all the actors in filming couldn't get paid, the other party was a company with a triad background, and she was the only one who asked the other party for salary under great pressure, and successfully got her salary back, and she was the only one.
She also has a principle about money and never lends money to others. When she first debuted, she suffered a loss in this regard, was deceived by a friend, and has never lent money to anyone since. Her principle of money has long been spread throughout the circle, and many citizens are also aware of it.
After the joy, "Happy Ghosts and Ghosts" was officially broadcast, Chen Ping'an recalled the reactions of Yuan Jieying and Chen Jialing just now, and made a clear judgment on the two seeds.
He attended this premiere, firstly, to cheer Huang Baiming on, if possible, he hoped that Huang Baiming would be pulled out as soon as possible to go alone; The second is to take a look at your own seeds. On the stage just now, when he hugged the waists of Yuan Jieying and Chen Jialing, the former was very excited, his eyes were full of excitement, and he also stuck to him, while the latter was much more flat, and even faintly resisted.
I don't know how Luo Meiwei is, she still has a relationship with Zhang Xueyou!
In the dark, Zhang Manyu watched the movie, stuffed her hand into Chen Ping'an's palm, and asked in a low voice: "Can this movie cost 20 million?" ”
"It shouldn't be that high, the median is around and around." Chen Ping'an pinched her hand twice, then threw it away, reached into her skirt, and placed it on her smooth and plump thighs.
Zhang Manyu did not refuse, tried to remain calm, and lowered her voice: "Accompany me tonight." ”
"Happy Ghost Crashing Ghost" is the third installment of the Happy Ghost series, which still continues the relaxed, humorous and amusing comedy style of the Happy Ghost series, and many Hong Kong citizens have accepted this style, and many friends of New Arts City are looking forward to the release of the Happy Ghost series every summer vacation. So the box office of this movie will not be bad, but it will not be too high, after all, the unchanged style cannot attract more audiences to enter the theater many times.
Huang Baiming also knows this and seeks a breakthrough in this film. After Zhang Manyu was vetoed by Mecca and Shi Tian, he invited Lu Xiuling, who was known as "Lin Qingxia's successor". However, at this time, in order to become popular, Lu Xiuling has abandoned the image of a pure girl written by Qiong Yao when she debuted, and played the image of "silly big sister" in the first two years, and in "Heart Lock", which was released in Taiwan at the end of June this year, she was even more bold and naked.
The female ghost Xu Banxiang she played in "Happy Ghosts Crashing Ghosts" is more clear and elegant than Zhang Manyu in later generations, and a little less smart and pleasing. The style of the whole play did not jump out of the established framework of the Happy Ghost series, and in Chen Ping'an's view, Huang Baiming's breakthrough attempt was a failure.
During the screening, there was continuous laughter in the theater, and Lei Juekun and the three giants of Xinyicheng breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the audience's reaction, this "Happy Ghost Crashing into Ghost" is a success, and it may really be able to borrow Chen Ping'an's auspicious words and exceed 20 million at the box office.
After the premiere, in order to express his gratitude, Huang Baiming personally sent Chen Ping'an away. Chen Ping'an was not polite, and even jokingly asked Huang Baiming to send him to the parking lot, Huang Baiming did not refuse, the two chatted while walking, but left Zhang Manyu aside.
When he came to the parking lot, Chen Ping'an handed the car key to Zhang Manyu, asked her to get in the car first, looked left and right and saw that there was no one around, and said to Huang Baiming half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Brother Baiming, have you ever thought about leaving Xinyi City?" ”
Huang Baiming was stunned for a moment, thinking that Chen Ping'an wanted to poach himself, and said with a smile: "I am now the general manager of Xinyi City." Although he has the least shares, on the surface, he is the chairman of the company, responsible for handling the company's affairs, and he decided to sign Quinoa last year.
But in Chen Ping'an's view, this is just a way for Mecca Shitian to be lazy in order to devote more energy to the stock market and property market. "Brother Baiming misunderstood, I just think that Xinyicheng is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and Brother Baiming is difficult to support alone, so it is better to get out of the door as soon as possible and stand on his own, and Dark Horse International is willing to do its best to help."
Huang Baiming was silent, and his gaze at Chen Ping'an changed. The latter understood the meaning in his gaze and explained with a smile: "Forgive my offense, can the new art city pose a threat to Dark Horse International today?" Do I need to instigate your relationship to break up New Art City? ”
"Reason."
"I don't want to see you being dragged down by the two of Mecca. I have good intentions, believe it or not, and you will understand in the future. Okay, that's all I have to say, farewell. ”
Chen Ping'an drove away, leaving Huang Baiming in the independent parking lot, thinking about Chen Ping'an's words and the intention of these words.
Chen Ping'an left this matter behind. has said everything, whether Huang Baiming will choose to establish the Oriental Film Company in advance, that is Huang Baiming's business. Mecca Shi Tian and his enthusiasm for movies are no longer as good as they were at the beginning, if he is still willing to work hard to support the new art city...... Let him be.
That night, Chen Ping'an stayed in Ruofan Pavilion, enjoying the wildness of Zhang Manyu's little wild cat, leaving scratching red marks and kiss marks on his body. Zhang Manyu is not only wild, but also loud. Wang Guxian moved out to live, and Wen Bibian has not come back, so she doesn't need to suppress her excitement.
However, when the two of them were having fun, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Wen Bibian, who had just come back, heard a voice from the bedroom and came to ask: "Sister Maggie, you ...... Mr. Chen? You ......"
Chen Ping'an continued to shake his waist and abdomen, playing with Zhang Manyu's crisp chest with his left hand, and making a move at Wen Bifang with his right hand: "Little Biyu, come here and ......" R1152
