Chapter 260: The Most Beautiful Sadako
When Chen Jiashang knocked on the door and entered the office, Lin Qingxia, Yuan Jieying, Luo Meiwei and Chen Jialing had already arrived. plus Li Jiaxin, five beauties sat together.
Chen Jiashang couldn't help but sigh secretly: With so many beauties making horror movies, the boss's idea is too alternative.
"Ashan, what's going on over there with Hiroyuki Sanada?"
Chen Jiashang is the assistant director of this play, and after going to work on the fifth day of junior high school, Chen Ping'an talked to him about making him the assistant director. He has already read the script, and in the past two days, while preparing for the crew, setting up the set to find a suitable filming location, he contacted the Japanese side and asked Hiroyuki Sanada to play the leading role.
Hiroyuki Sanada is a popular star in Japan and is no stranger to the Hong Kong film industry. Last year, Debao filmed "Royal Senior Sister 2 Royal Warrior", and asked him to play the leading role. Just as Lin Qingxia is the guarantee of the box office in Taiwan, he is also the box office guarantee of Hong Kong films in Japan.
What's more, although he is a martial arts star, his acting skills are very good.
"I just spoke to the other side on the phone, and Hiroyuki Sanada agreed. He decided to postpone the filming time of the two existing films, and take over the filming of our "Midnight Bell" first. ”
Because he is a martial arts star, Hiroyuki Sanada has mostly taken on action movies in recent years. This time, Chen Jiashang contacted him on behalf of Dark Horse International and invited him to play the leading role in "Midnight Bell" directed by Chen Ping'an, and he was a little moved at that time.
During this period, Hong Kong films had a great influence on Japan. Dark Horse International has a very good reputation in Japan, and movies such as "The True Color of Heroes", "The Love of People and Ghosts", and "Bloody Heroes" are widely popular in Japan. "A Chinese Ghost Story", which was released last Christmas, ranked second on the list of movies expected by Japanese citizens this year. The first is Cheng Long's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother".
Being able to star in a movie directed by Chen Ping'an has already moved Sanada Hiroshi, and the salary of 500,000 yuan is also worthy of his value. When he learned that "Midnight Bell" was a horror movie, after reading the script, he agreed without hesitation, even though he already had two film contracts, one was being filmed and the other was about to be filmed.
In addition to the fact that he likes the script of "Midnight Bell" very much, and because "Midnight Bell" is not an action movie, he has the opportunity to try new ways of acting, so that the audience knows that in addition to his good skills, his acting skills are also good.
"Midnight Bells? What a strange name! "Yuan Jieying hasn't read the script yet, this is the first time I've heard the name of the script.
Lin Qingxia smiled: "After you read the script, you won't feel strange." ”
Chen Ping'an took out the script, asked Chen Jiashang to distribute it to the girls, and introduced Li Jiaxin to everyone. The fifth girl first read the script and then looked at the role she played, and after twenty minutes, Yuan Jieying pouted: "Boss, this book is not so scary." ”
"You'll know when you're done." Chen Ping'an said lightly, and glanced at Lin Qingxia with a blank look.
Lin Qingxia recalled that night she scared herself, and called Chen Ping'an to save her life, and finally fell asleep exhausted in Chen Ping'an's comfort, and couldn't help blushing.
Yuan Jieying's three daughters were looking at their roles and didn't notice it, but Li Jiaxin noticed the change in Lin Qingxia: she must have something to do with Brother An!
"What do you think!" Chen Ping'an said to Li Jiaxin with a strained face, the latter shrank his neck, playfully stuck out his tongue, and then said with a bitter face: "Why do you want me to play a female ghost?" ”
"Questions?"
"Didn't you say I'm the main character?"
"Do you think Sadako isn't the main character?"
Li Jiaxin was dumbfounded. The character she plays is Sadako. Chen Ping'an has not changed the classic name of "Sadako", Lin Qingxia plays the female reporter, Sanada Hiroyuki plays Lin Qingxia's ex-husband, and the son of the two is played by Xiao Binbin.
After Li Jiaxin finished the script, she paid attention to her role as soon as possible, and found that she was a little lost in her heart when she played a female ghost. In her mind, a beautiful girl like her, even if she is a vase character, should be shown from the front, showing her beauty in front of the audience on the big screen.
What's more, she is Chen Ping'an's woman?
Yuan Jieying has a lively personality, is the same age as Li Jiaxin, and has no star shelves. She hugged Li Jiaxin's shoulders affectionately and said with a smile: "You can be content, or I will change with you." ”
"What's your role?" Li Jiaxin asked curiously.
"A schoolgirl was killed by you as soon as she appeared."
"Two sisters, what about you?"
Li Jiaxin's mouth was very sweet, and she asked Luo Meiwei and Chen Jialing. When she learned that the second daughter's role in this horror film was not heavy, she sighed: "A female ghost is a female ghost." ”
Let Li Jiaxin play Sadako, Chen Ping'an was also well thought out. Li Jiaxin's acting skills are completely incomparable with her appearance, only the role of Sadako, because she often has to cover her face with long hair, the requirements for acting skills are not particularly high, and she can also make up for it through guò makeup and movie stunts.
For the special effects shots of this movie, Chen Ping'an did not use the dark horse special effects studio, and let those young people return to the United States after the New Year to continue to study in Industrial Light and Magic. He and George Lucas agreed on a period of two years, and the group of young people who represent the future of Hong Kong film stunts at the beginning of next year will be able to return and play their role in Hong Kong films.
Chen Ping'an is very confident in them, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" has preliminarily proved their ability.
After the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Golden Harvest wanted to find a dark horse special effects studio to help shoot the movie "Fairy in the Painting".
"Fairy in the Painting" can be regarded as a follow-up film of "A Chinese Ghost Story". The hit screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story" not only completely made Wang Guxian who played Nie Xiaoqian popular, Ning Caichen played by Chen Ping'an is unforgettable, and Wu Ma who played Yan Chixia is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a classic image.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" was a hot seller, and after Ma returned to Baohe in the afternoon, he discussed with Sammo Hung and prepared to make a follow-up film. He and Chen Jinchang spent two days outlining the skeleton of the script of "Fairy in the Painting", and spent another week perfecting the script, and then began to prepare for the crew.
The actor of "Fairy in the Painting", Wang Guxian is naturally indispensable. The image of Nie Xiaoqian she created in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a classic, and the image of a female ghost in white clothes who does not eat the fireworks of the world is remembered, and she is naturally the first choice for the heroine of this follow-up film.
Although Chen Ping'an rejected "Golden Swallow" invested and filmed by Xinyicheng, produced by Zeng Zhiwei and directed by Ke Xingpei on behalf of Wang Guxian, he did not reject Baohe's "Fairy in the Painting".
Although these two movies are follow-up films of "A Chinese Ghost Story", in his opinion, "Golden Swallow" is much more vulgar than "Fairy in the Painting", and Xinyicheng filmed this movie, and he didn't think of asking the dark horse special effects studio to assist in the shooting, obviously just to follow the trend and make money.
Wang Guxian took the film contract for "Fairy in the Painting", but she is currently in Taiwan. This year's Chinese New Year "A Chinese Ghost Story" landed in Taiwan, causing a frenzy of movie-watching, she cooperated with the movie promotion, frequently attended various activities, and her popularity and fame increased greatly, as if she was returning home.
On her birthday, Chen Ping'an called her to congratulate her on her sensation in Taiwan and share her joy on the phone. Wang Guxian was very moved, cried with joy, and burst into tears after talking for more than ten minutes, crying and thanking Chen Ping'an, saying that this was the best birthday gift she had received in her life.
Due to her soaring fame in Hong Kong and Taiwan, she attracted Taiwanese film companies and received an invitation from New Asia Film Company to take over the filming of "Fangcao Biliantian" directed by Cai Yangming, starring Qi Zi.
When he first learned the news, Chen Ping'an chuckled in his heart. He had the intention to let Wang Guxian refuse, but after thinking about it, if in this case, Wang Guxian and Qi Qi could still spark love, then he would be too much of a failure.
And even if he prevented the two from meeting because of his intervention this time, the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles are very small, and the two will have the opportunity to meet sooner or later, can he prevent it for a lifetime? simply let Wang Guxian take over the shooting, he believes in Wang Guxian and believes that the butterfly effect he has set off will change many things.
Wang Guxian took over the filming of "Fangcao Biliantian", and the director of "Fairy in the Painting" had to delay the filming. As for Baohe's desire to hire a dark horse special effects studio, he also refused. The young people were still in the learning stage, and he didn't want them to be disturbed.
So he recommended Industrial Light & Magic to Baohe and invited the three foreigners who directed the special effects shooting of "A Chinese Ghost Story" back to Hong Kong. It can not only let them make the special effects shots of "The Fairy in the Painting", but also make the special effects shots of "Midnight Bell", and let the three foreigners continue to be familiar with Hong Kong, so that they can poach the three of them in the future.
After Yuan Jieying, Luo Meiwei and Chen Jialing read the script, the three girls got together and muttered non-stop. Chen Ping'an frowned and said, "What are you muttering?" ”
"I'm sorry boss."
Realizing that they were out of shape, the three girls hurriedly apologized and did not answer Chen Ping'an's question. The three of them, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks, or Lin Qingxia understands the girls' minds and guesses their thoughts: "I think, they must feel strange." A horror movie has found so many girls to star, and they are all young and beautiful girls, Hong Kong has never had one. ”
"yes!" Yuan Jieying was bold and familiar with Chen Ping'an, "Boss, this won't be the difference you said, right?" ”
"It's kind of an aspect."
"Ah, that can also be counted?" Luo Mei's eyes widened slightly.
Chen Jiashang also shook his head secretly on the side. In Hong Kong, the vast majority of actresses are like vases, just like "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" and "God of Gamblers", which are being screened during the Chinese New Year, although the box office is very high, but the heroines in the play, Guan Zhilin, Wang Guxian and Zhang Min, are more vases.
It's a shame that Chen Ping'an didn't announce it to the public, "Midnight Ghost" also has three beautiful girls in the Happy Girl Group, otherwise the media would definitely say that Chen Ping'an's horror film was piled up with a "vase".
Finding that everyone had this doubt, Chen Ping'an sat up straight and said: "You are all young and beautiful, full of vitality, it is said that you should have nothing to do with horror movies." But have you ever thought about what kind of impact the audience will have when they see you girls on the screen, and you are like flowers and jade, and you die tragically in front of them? ”
"And you, Michelle. You play Sadako, who is both beautiful and terrifying. While it shows the appalling cruelty and evil, there is also a sympathetic and regrettable side. Horror films can not only play a terrifying role through images such as zombies and ghosts, but the strong contrast between beauty and horror will also bring a strong sensory impact to the audience. You'll understand when the movie comes out. ”
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, Chen Ping'an didn't expect them to understand immediately, and asked Li Jiaxin: "Michelle, will your studies be affected?" ”
Li Jiaxin is a very crucial year for Secondary 5 students this year, and there will be a HKCEE in April and May to prepare for admission to Secondary 6.
"I'm fine, I won't delay my studies." Li Jiaxin replied proudly, "When I used to shoot commercials, I got an A in every exam!" ”
……
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the dwarf cow drove Li Jiaxin home.
"Won't I not be able to see you for days?" Sitting in the car, Li Jiaxin was tired of being coquettish in Chen Ping'an's arms.
"Isn't it possible to see you every day in the crew?"
"You know that's not what I said."
Chen Ping'an smiled: "If I suddenly go to your school to look for you today, there will definitely be reporters who suspect our relationship and secretly follow and investigate you." I've already arranged for your family to suddenly move to Ming Xin Garden in Tsim Sha Tsui East because you have Mark Six in your family, so you can suddenly have money, and it is useless for them to investigate your family history.
However, those reporters will not give up, they will definitely follow secretly, and want to secretly photograph you and me and create scandals. So during this time, you and I keep a certain distance, just like the director and the actors, understand? ”
"Then sue them, you're my boyfriend, isn't it?" Li Jiaxin frowned, "Do you think that if I am your girlfriend, I will embarrass you?" ”
"Don't say stupid things." Chen Ping'an lowered his head and kissed Li Jiaxin's small mouth, "You are so beautiful, who can have a girlfriend like you, that's his luck." ”
The latter sentence made Li Jiaxin very happy, and showed a happy smile: "Then why? ”
"You forgot, I said you'd be going to the pageant next year. You're so beautiful, you want the whole Hong Kong people to see your beauty, right? ”
Li Jiaxin thought for a moment, hooked Chen Ping'an's neck, two thin lips stuck to Chen Ping'an's mouth, and the clove soft tongue flexibly stretched into Chen Ping'an's mouth. After a long kiss, Li Jiaxin gasped and said, "Brother An, you are so good to me." Do you want me to suck it out for you again? ”
As Chen Ping'an expected, the media was full of curiosity about him and Li Jiaxin's concern.
For journalists, Li Jiaxin is different from Zhang Min. Although Zhang Min is an girl, it is obvious that Chen Ping'an met him randomly on the street that day, and Li Jiaxin ...... Obviously, Chen Ping'an has known each other for a long time.
Are there any secrets between the two that outsiders don't know?
As a result, finding out the real relationship between Chen Ping'an and Li Jiaxin has become the top priority of many newspapers, and a large number of reporters have been dispatched to investigate.
More than a dozen reporters stood guard outside the Maryknoll Convent School, and more than 20 reporters inquired about Li Jiaxin's address. However, the reporters waiting downstairs for Li Jiaxin were more thieves, hiding in the shadows one by one, waiting for Chen Ping'an to send Li Jiaxin home.
It's a pity that they are doomed to disappointment.
Mercedes-Benz S stopped downstairs, Li Jiaxin, who was wearing a school uniform, got out of the car, turned around and bowed to the car: "Mr. Chen, thank you for sending me back, I will play this role with my heart." ”
The relationship between the two ...... It seems to be very ordinary. R1152
