Chapter 556: Is She Pretty?
This year is the fourth year that Chen Ping'an has issued a fund-raising order. Since 85 years, he issued a fund-raising order for the first time, staring at many criticisms, investing tens of millions of dollars to shoot "People and Ghosts", and winning nearly 500 million box office worldwide, the Jianghu fund-raising order has become a beautiful scenery in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry every year.
Every year's fundraising order is not worry-free, and this year's one is even more bizarre.
This year's target is a science fiction film, "Jurassic Park" - just listen to the name and know that this movie is about dinosaurs.
Different from the detailed introduction of previous years, the content of this year's fundraising order has not even been selected, but it costs 50 million US dollars to raise 10 million US dollars.
The most terrifying thing is that in the newspaper, it is clearly stated that this is a Hong Kong-style science fiction film, not a Western film! It shows that even if the movie "Jurassic Park" enters the US market, it will not be able to enjoy the high box office dividends of local films in the United States, which is extremely unfavorable for recovering the cost of 50 million US dollars!
If it belongs to the films produced by local film companies in the United States, because of his success in the Oscars, there are also two blockbuster films "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Nuns Are Crazy" that he directed this year, and the box office results are among the top five of the year, so that the films he directed can already enjoy the treatment of well-known directors with a box office share of 50 points.
Taking the box office of 100 million as an example, a rough calculation shows that he can get a box office of 50 million.
But if it is a Hong Kong film, the best treatment is only 20 points, that is, 20 million, which is less than half of the cost.
So many people can't understand it, and some people even suspect that Chen Ping'an is an extremely inflated act of death, wanting to play his own rhythm. Many expert filmmakers in the newspaper, either benevolently or maliciously, expressed their opinions, and most of them were not optimistic about his fund-raising order.
What is surprising is that according to the deadline of the fundraising order, Dark Horse International easily raised 10 million US dollars, and many film companies regretted losing the election.
Are these people crazy? That's a Hong Kong film with an investment of 50 million US dollars!
Many people expressed their incomprehension, until an article published by Chen Bosheng of "Film Fortnightly" pointed out the reason - "People and Ghosts Are Not Resolved".
The movie that year cost 10 million, and the global box office was close to 500 million, and even if it was a box office share of 20 points, it had a box office income of nearly 100 million. The only question now is whether "Jurassic Park", as a Hong Kong film, can achieve a global release.
Considering Chen Ping'an's methods, as well as the achievements of writing and directing his own films, it is worth looking forward to.
Now, the argument about cost and reward has finally fallen, and the discussion of the film's protagonist has finally fallen.
For the actor candidates, the idle and idle media have given a general range, which is nothing more than Zhou Yunfa, Liang Jiahui, Liu Dehua or Li Lianjie and other big-name male stars under Dark Horse International, at most they may consider Cheng Long because of Cheng Long's influence.
As for the heroine, there are not a few big-name female stars under Dark Horse, and Chen Ping'an's own popular female stars can't be counted on one hand.
"Oriental Daily" did a survey on this in the newspaper, Zhong Chuhong, Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, Wang Guxian, Zhang Min, Li Saifeng, Wen Bibian and others were all mentioned, among which Zhong Chuhong was the most vocal.
"Jurassic Park" is a Hong Kong film that wants to represent Hong Kong to the world, and Zhong Chuhong, who has become famous in Hollywood, is naturally the most suitable candidate.
Regarding the investigation by Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily was the first to express its opposition. They said in the newspaper that the heroine of "Jurassic Park" should be this year's Asian sister champion. Because it was reported in the publicity before the finals of Sister Ya, Chen Ping'an will personally tailor an exclusive acting path for the winner of Sister Ya's championship!
Isn't the heroine of "Jurassic Park" who invested 50 million dollars the best opportunity to become famous?
Later, after the finals of Sister Ya, Guan Yonghe overwhelmed the crowd and ascended to the championship in the controversy, and also got his personal endorsement, many people thought that Guan Yonghe would be the heroine of this play, but Chen Ping'an did not announce it for a long time, and even the crew did not start to build.
However, today, at this press conference to clarify the relationship between Li Jiaxin and himself, it was a great surprise for reporters to learn that Li Jiaxin joined Dark Horse International, but an even bigger surprise came again - the heroine of "Jurassic Park" is set to be the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Li Jiaxin!
The reporter is not a fool, and soon some people thought that the hero and heroine of this movie had not been decided for a long time, until today it was announced that he would sign Li Jiaxin, and he would send him to the Mid-Levels Villa, and then announce the choice of the heroine...... This guy wouldn't have chosen Li Jiaxin a long time ago, just waiting for today, right?
Looking at Li Jiaxin's happy expression, it seems that she also just knew...... She can't be pretending, right? Doesn't it mean that she doesn't have any acting skills?
The reporters really wronged Li Jiaxin, and she just knew that the surprise that Chen Ping'an gave her was actually the heroine of "Jurassic Park"!
Just like "Terminator 2" invested more than 100 million US dollars, creating a precedent for American film investment, "Jurassic Park" invested 50 million US dollars, which also created a precedent for Hong Kong film investment, and no one has been able to break this record in a few years.
With this scale of investment, many audiences will walk into the cinema to see what is going on after the filming. As for how many times you will watch it, it depends on the quality of the movie.
However, regardless of the quality of this film, whether it is successful or not, it will be on the cusp of public opinion when it is released in the future. As the heroine of this movie, the attention received is definitely very high!
Brother An's favorite is really me!
If it weren't for the public, Li Jiaxin would have jumped into Chen Ping'an's arms excitedly!
From Li Jiaxin's happy expression, the reporters didn't gain much, and they thought of another question - who will be the hero of this play? Could it be......
In the face of the reporter's question, Chen Ping'an gave a very direct answer: "The actor is played by me." ”
Sure enough, there was a problem!
The reporters' eyes were very poisonous, and they obviously found that when Chen Ping'an announced that he was playing the leading role, the smile on Li Jiaxin's face was even brighter.
Although it can be understood that Chen Ping'an's starring role is a guarantee for the success of this film - over the years since his debut, there have only been a few movies written, directed and acted by himself, but each one can be called a classic, which makes people never get tired of watching it.
However, who dares to say that Li Jiaxin's happiness is not because of other reasons?
Talented men and women, Chen Ping'an is not only talented, but also wealthy, and handsome, and has extremely high lethality for women, even female celebrities are no exception. It wouldn't be surprising if the two of them had a leg!
It won't be Chen Ping'an who wants this trick!
The truth becomes clearer the more it is argued. As reporters kept asking questions, some of the reporters present gradually sorted out the huge amount of information in their minds, and found that Chen Ping'an signed a contract and sent a villa, and was the heroine of a 50 million blockbuster.
However, what happened next made these reporters stunned.
Li Jiaxin, who was excited and happy, suddenly hugged Chen Ping'an, kissed him on the lips, and said a little shyly: "Boss, thank you." ”
Chen Ping'an pushed Li Jiaxin away a little helplessly, and said seriously: "You are all people who want to become big stars, you must learn to be steady." ”
"I see."
I rub, what kind of rhythm is this? Isn't it Li Jiaxin chasing Chen Ping'an?
Isn't the previous rumor pure fiction?
What does Chen Ping'an mean by sending her to the villa to find her to act?
Many journalists are messy. The entertainment industry is notoriously chaotic, and the relationship between Chen Ping'an and Li Jiaxin is even more confusing.
Li Jiaxin's kiss wasn't a kiss out of gratitude, didn't you see that the kiss was a mouth? Zhong Chuhong, Wang Guxian and Zhang Min have done this before, and now there is another Li Jiaxin...... What is the relationship between these two?
Woman chasing man? Men chasing women? Or is it playing underground?
Not all reporters are thinking about the relationship between the two, and to organize ideas for tomorrow's scandal, the reporter of "Headline Weekly" asked a very sharp question: "Mr. Chen, as we all know, you are a very successful director." The most commendable thing is your choice of actors. And Miss Li Jiaxin...... I beg your pardon, some people describe her as a 'wooden beauty', thinking that she has no acting skills at all. Do you think her acting skills are very good, better than the acting skills of female stars such as Honggu, Lin Qingxia, Xiaoxian, and Zhang Min? ”
Good question!
At this time, the press conference was nearing the end, and the reporters had all the interviews they should have interviewed, and the information collected was enough to report for a period of time in the future, even if Chen Ping'an published it, it didn't matter.
And the sharp question of the reporter of "Headline Weekly", if Chen Ping'an is angry, it is the best ending, and they have another piece of hot news. Didn't you see that Li Jiaxin's smile froze? Will Chen Ping'an be indifferent?
Of course not.
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to hug Li Jiaxin's thin waist, showing an intimate appearance, which immediately attracted reporters to take pictures frantically - this is definitely a photo suitable for scandals!
"Do you think Miss Michelle is pretty?"
"I don't understand what this has to do with my problem."
"You just have to answer yes or no, and you'll understand in the end."
"Miss Michelle is beautiful." The reporter of "Headline Weekly" responded.
"Hehe, that's good. Let me ask you one more question, will you watch the movie she starred in? ”
"Uh......"
"Tell the truth."
"Yes."
"Isn't that enough? The biggest reason for choosing Michelle is that she is beautiful enough. Everyone is an actor, but it's not easy to find a set that suits you. This drama Michelle is very suitable, as for her acting skills...... Hehe, she is only eighteen this year, and she has just officially set foot in the entertainment industry through the guò beauty pageant, do you still want her acting skills to be like an old actor who has been acting for ten years? ”
The reporter of "Headline Weekly" also wanted to refute, but Chen Ping'an waved his hand: "Don't compare her with other female stars under our company, everyone has a role suitable for themselves." "Jurassic Park" is going to be released worldwide, and Michelle is a mixed race, is there any problem? ”
When it comes to this, there is nothing to question. The reporters present have gained a lot today, and my brother is satisfied, as for what will be like tomorrow's report, it depends on how they play.
Just when everyone thought that the press conference was about to come to an end, Chen Ping'an let go of Li Jiaxin and said suddenly: "Finally, I would like to express my solemn thanks to TVB, ......" R1152
