Chapter 192: Entering the group to shoot
After coming to New York, Chen Ping'an did not rush to meet the crew of "Autumn Fairy Tale", but stayed in the crew of "Coming to America" for two days to deepen the relationship between Chinese and black Americans.
In the past two days, in addition to "talking" with Lin Qingxia at night, he mainly communicated with director John Landis, starring Eddie Murphy, and Lin Qingxia during the day to exchange his understanding of the film and the form of the table.
His script is very detailed, John Landis and Eddie Murphy cooperate tacitly, Lin Qingxia's acting skills are no problem, the three of them have a deep understanding of the script and fully express the content of the script.
Chen Ping'an has seen the pictures taken before and is very satisfied, but he only puts forward his own views on some details. Hearing his ideas firsthand, John Landis finally recognized his directing skills and believed that classics such as "Ghost Love" and "City of Myths" came from him.
No way, who made Chen Ping'an too young?
Two days later, Chen Ping'an rushed to the southern end of Manhattan in New York City, where New York's Chinatown is located, where the crew of "Autumn Fairy Tale" also lived.
Seeing Chen Ping'an, Zhang Wanting finally breathed a sigh of relief. The crew has been in the United States for a long time and has been waiting for Chen Ping'an. Chen Ping'an is the leading actor in this play, and there are many scenes, and now almost all the rest involve him, and Zhang Wanting doesn't know what to shoot if he comes two days late.
In addition to this reason, Chen Baiqiang's eagerness to return to Hong Kong is also one of the reasons.
Chen Baiqiang is a popular singer in Hong Kong, along with Alan Tam and Cheung Kwok-rong, and is regarded as the first generation of idol singers in Hong Kong. This time, Zhang Wanting directed "Autumn Fairy Tale" and asked him to play Zhong Chuhong's ex-boyfriend.
He is not a starring actor and does not have many scenes, so he originally planned to finish filming his scenes first so that he could rush back to Hong Kong to attend other events. But now the rivalry between him and Chen Ping'an has been delayed again and again because the latter has not arrived, Chen Baiqiang is anxious to return to Hong Kong, if Chen Ping'an does not arrive again, Zhang Wanting plans to finish filming first and then rely on post-editing.
At dinner, Zhang Wanting said, "Boss, are you familiar with the script?" ”
Chen Ping'an pointed his head: "Don't worry, it's all here." ”
"That's good. Tomorrow I will shoot the rivalry between you and Danny Tsai, there are two advertisements waiting for him in Hong Kong, and I have been calling him a lot in the past few days. ”
Chen Ping'an smiled apologetically at Chen Baiqiang's family: "I'm sorry for delaying your time." But don't worry, our opponent's filming will be very fast, so as not to delay your time as much as possible. ”
Chen Baiqiang was in contact with Chen Ping'an for the first time, but he didn't expect the latter to be so humble and replied politely: "Mr. Chen, don't say that, I told the advertiser to let them wait for me for another three days." Although I am a singer, I also know that filming can't be sloppy, don't make mistakes in this drama because of me. ”
"Thank you, but don't worry, for me, sometimes speed doesn't mean shoddy, and you'll know tomorrow."
After dinner, the crew members rested separately and prepared for tomorrow's intense shooting. Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong used the excuse of cultivating a relationship, and at the same time were familiar with the Chinatown here, so they left the hotel together, keeping a fist distance and disappearing from everyone's sight.
New York's Chinatown is just one street away from the city hall, just a stone's throw from Wall Street, the world-famous international financial center, and close to Broadway, the world's performing arts center.
Zhong Chuhong's introduction was simple and boring, Chen Ping'an listened absent-mindedly, the two kept making eye contact, and soon came to the quiet Hudson River. The Hudson River under the moonlight, the neon light on both sides of the river is reflected, there is a feeling of stars and moons, and there are occasionally a few small boats floating on the river, and the scenery is beautiful.
"I'm tired!" Zhong Chuhong chose a bench to sit down and knocked on his calf.
Chen Ping'an sat down next to her and put her legs on his own, half massaging and half caressing. There are very few people by the river, and there are not many people passing by, so I am not afraid of being seen.
Zhong Chuhong said coquettishly: "Do you miss me?" ”
"What do you say?" Chen Ping'an's hand went up her calf and stroked her thigh, "How have you been in the past few months?" ”
"It's good." Zhong Chuhong is the only Chinese actress in Hollywood, although she is still in the second and third tiers, but she is scarce, there is no shortage of various film appointments and event invitations, and her value is slowly rising, "Sometimes I think about whether I should thank you or hate you." ”
"Why?"
"Thank you, it's because I couldn't be a Hollywood star without you, but I'm alone all year round, with no one to accompany me, and that's your fault."
"Nonsense, didn't I come to accompany you?" Chen Ping'an's hand touched the inside of Zhong Chuhong's leg, "Have you been waiting for me, you have already chosen this place?" ”
"It's less smelly and beautiful!" Zhong Chuhong slapped him on the hand and put down his leg, "You have so many women in Hong Kong, do you care about me?" ”
"No matter how many women there are, the one I care about the most is you." Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and took Zhong Chuhong into his arms, held her soft and put it on his chest, "It's all you here." ”
"If you don't come, you will coax me with clever words." Zhong Chuhong said this, and she was still very happy in her heart, even if Chen Ping'an was lying to her...... If men are not even willing to coax, isn't it even sadder for women?
"Well, I'll replace words with practical actions." After speaking, Chen Ping'an held up Zhong Chuhong's chin and kissed it......
Chen Ping'an's room was not on the same floor as the crew, on the top floor of the hotel, after returning from the Hudson River that night, Zhong Chuhong went back to the room for a walk, and then took the elevator to the top floor while no one was paying attention. In the room, Chen Ping'an had already put the bath water, and after the two of them played in the water, they poured out the pain of lovesickness with words and bodies.
The next day, Chen Ping'an officially joined the group to film, and the makeup artist spent an hour dressing him up, and when he came out of the dressing room, the entire crew was stunned.
It's different, it's completely different, it's completely different from his sunny and handsome chic appearance in the past, and it's also different from the maturity and stability that he often shows out that doesn't match his age.
With fluffy hair and unshaven beard, wrinkled and sloppy clothes, Hang'er Lang stood in front of everyone, with an uninhibited look in his eyes, just standing there fully reflected the taste of the bow ruler.
Like, there's something missing......
Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui glanced at each other thoughtfully.
Chen Ping'an's hand passed past his ear, a cigarette was in his mouth, he lit a cigarette with a watch-type lighter, took a puff of cigarette, and suddenly said to Zhong Chuhong who was opposite him: "A woman is a tea pot!" ”
"Great, that's how it feels!"
Screenwriter Luo Qirui was the first to applaud, and Zhang Wanting also slapped and sighed: "Boss, I took it, I didn't expect you to understand this role so thoroughly." ”
"Director Zhang, from today onwards, until the completion of this play, there is only actor Chen Ping'an, and there is no boss. You're the biggest in the crew. ”
Chen Ping'an's words convinced the crew members, and even made the couple Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui feel the correctness of joining Dark Horse International. Some time ago, they were looking forward to Chen Ping'an coming to New York as soon as possible, and they were also worried that Chen Ping'an's identity would become an obstacle for Zhang Wanting to direct this play. However, on the first day of Chen Ping'an's official entry into the group, he made a clear statement, which made Zhang Wanting feel relaxed.
"I see." Zhang Wanting nodded vigorously, and suddenly felt full of strength, "Attention departments, prepare to start filming in ten minutes!" ”
Today's filming is the rivalry between Chen Ping'an and Chen Baiqiang. First at the train station, Zhong Chuhong found that Chen Baiqiang was empathetic and said goodbye, and when he got off the train, he was followed by other women, she ran out of the train station with anger and grievances, Chen Baiqiang chased him out, Chen Ping'an leaned on the car and smoked, and saw Chen Baiqiang for the first time.
OK again!
Then there is the scene of the negotiation between Zhong Chuhong and Chen Baiqiang in the Silver Palace Restaurant.
The crew rushed to the Chinatown Restaurant, which had already been negotiated, Zhong Chuhong and Chen Baiqiang sat together to negotiate, and Chen Ping'an, who had changed into a red waiter costume, took a vacuum cleaner and walked around for a while to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two. Because Zhong Chuhong is not worthy, he deliberately disturbed several times, and finally heard Chen Baiqiang educate Zhong Chuhong about love - Woody Allen said that feelings should be like sharks, and they must keep swimming forward, otherwise they will die - he who likes to fight unevenly by nature can no longer hold back, and retorted: "When did Ellen say this?" Ellen just said: This trap, that trap, I have encountered. ”
……
At the end of the shooting, Chen Baiqiang finally understood the meaning of Chen Ping'an's sentence "For me, sometimes speed does not mean stopping shoddy production". The scene where the two appeared together was filmed in less than two days, saving more than one day than Chen Baiqiang expected. Judging from Zhang Wanting's expression, she is also very satisfied with these scenes.
Many scenes are repeated over and over again, and the NG scenes are due to the performance errors of him or Zhong Chuhong or extras. Chen Ping'an's filming seems to be the same as he looks at people, and he will never make a mistake.
The next night, Chen Baiqiang took the ticket to Hong Kong and said with emotion: "Mr. Chen, you are the person I have ever seen who is the best at making movies and acting in movies." I hope to have the opportunity to work with you next time. ”
Seeing Chen Baiqiang away, Chen Ping'an returned to the hotel room, and in the early hours of the morning, Zhong Chuhong quietly came up and pushed open the hidden door.
"Really, do we have to act like cheating every time?"
Chen Ping'an hugged her and used a long French kiss to resolve the complaint in her heart: "Then let's make the relationship clear and let everyone know that you are my woman." ”
"I'm just talking about it." Zhong Chuhong knew the severity, and what she said just now was purely venting, "Besides, if you really find out the relationship, will your women agree?" ”
"It's a big deal, what's there to be afraid of, can't I afford to support a few of you?"
"Who said I want you to raise it!" Zhong Chuhong pushed him away, "Did you put the bath water, I haven't taken a bath tonight." ”
Chen Ping'an smiled evilly: "You like to take a mandarin duck bath with me, right?" ”
"You're beautiful!"
……
Half an hour later, Zhong Chuhong, who had just passed through the stormy bathtub, was moisturized and lay lazily in Chen Ping'an's arms: "It's all you, people don't have the strength to take a bath." ”
"Do you want me to wash it for you?"
"Don't move, just hold me like that. Every time you hug me, I feel so comfortable and warm. After a pause, Zhong Chuhong raised his head, "A'an, have those bad guys harmed you again in the past two months?" ”R1152
