Thank you for the tips from the students of Radiance 11.

How can this guy throw an olive branch when he sees someone!

Li Xiaolin was dumbfounded. Rao has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he has never seen someone like Chen Ping'an.

Cameron and Anne looked at each other, the former was silent, and the latter smiled: "Is that your film company with only one employee?" "Anne has her own company, although it is only a little better than Chen Ping'an's company, but she has connections.

"Aren't there only three of you joining? And after the release of this movie, I will have more money on hand and plan to expand the company. What do you think? If you join now, you can enjoy a 20% dividend every year. Or invest 3 million to obtain 30% of the company's shares. The operation of the company is up to you, and I won't interfere lightly, how about Anne? ”

"How about we talk about this when your movie comes out?"

"No problem. I also have a request for you two to help me shoot. Of course, I'll pay my salary. ”

Annie's company has no business at the moment, and Cameron has just finished filming "First Blood 2", and both of them have nothing to do, nodding their heads.

Cameron asked, "Chen, what type of movie is it, can I read the script?" ”

"Ghost romance." Chen Ping'an took out the English script from the salute and handed it to Cameron, with two lines written on the cover of the script: "Ghost", "People and Ghosts Are Not Finished".

……

With the help of Anne and Cameron, the preparation for the filming was much easier. Going through the relevant procedures, renting equipment, arranging venues, selecting scenes, recruiting actors, etc., both of them have made a lot of efforts. Shang Ge Yunton, Dwarf Niu, Luo Lixian, Kwan Jinpeng and Li Xiaolin, while helping the two, also saw the difference between Hollywood and Hong Kong, and broadened their horizons.

In "The Love of Ghosts", there are four main actors. In addition to the hero and heroine, there are also the hero's best friend, the villain Carl in the film, and the psychic Ota who can communicate with the ghost.

The actor of Otta, Chen Ping'an still chose Whoopi in the original play, a powerful actor with a unique performance style, a black actress. But at this time, Whoopi had just started his star career and was still a newcomer to Hollywood.

However, her acting skills are definitely not at the level of newcomers, she performed in a children's theater company in New York at the age of 8, studied at the famous New York Drama High School, and began to perform stand-up comedy on Broadway the year before, and won awards.

After receiving the interview notice, Whoopi was ecstatic and rushed from New York to Los Angeles. At the interview, her cousin moved Cameron, Anne and Chen Ping'an, and the last trace of worry in the latter's heart also disappeared.

Carl's actor also surprised Chen Ping'an. After interviewing dozens of actors, a handsome and handsome young man walked into the interview room, and Chen Ping'an recognized it at a glance, this guy was Brad Pitt!

Pete, who ran to Hollywood without telling his parents, worked as a waiter, drove a stretch car, and even played cartoon characters, waiting for the opportunity to become famous. Later, he was lucky enough to become a student of Roy London and also attended acting school. After graduating the year before last, he has been playing tricks in Hollywood as an extra.

In "The Love of People and Ghosts", Carl's performance does not require too high acting skills, although Pete's table during the interview is not the best, but Chen Ping'an made a decision on the spot - it's you!

Before "The Love of People and Ghosts" was launched, Chen Ping'an signed two artists, Whoopi and Brad Pitt. Li Xiaolin truly realized Chen Ping'an's determination to set up an artist agency, and the only concern was that these two people were too new.

……

At the end of September, when the team flew from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, the crew of "People and Ghosts" had been set up and the preliminary work was ready.

This time I came to the United States to make a movie, and almost all members of Dark Horse International went out. In addition to Zhang Manyu being invited by Golden Harvest, he followed Golden Harvest and his party to the United States to participate in the premiere of "Police Story" a few days earlier, as well as Zhou Runfa, Li Zixiong and Wang Guxian because they had film appointments, and they also had to attend various activities, and Zhang Guozhong needed to arrange a trip for three people, Ye Zhiming was busy preparing for the establishment of an investment company, and everyone else flew to the United States, even Liang Jiahui and Wu Mengda, who had no filming for the time being.

On this trip to the United States, Chen Ping'an was responsible for normal expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, saying that it was the company's welfare and bringing everyone to the United States for tourism. Chen Ping'an's real intention is to let them have more contact with the United States, Hollywood, and Hollywood movies, so as to prepare for a large-scale westward expansion in the future.

Zhong Chuhong's appearance caused Anne and Cameron to exclaim.

It is true that Honggu is naturally beautiful, with a kind of simple natural breath, her curly hair is full of charm and charm, coupled with her delicate and moving appearance, she is recognized as a sexy goddess by the Chinese, but this is the United States, it is Hollywood, is it appropriate to find an Oriental to be the heroine?

What surprised them even more was still to come, when Chen Ping'an first announced the actor, even Zhong Chuhong was stunned.

Chen Ping'an directed and acted by himself, playing the leading role!

Regarding the choice of the leading actor, Chen Ping'an didn't think much about it at all. In "The Love of People and Ghosts", there are many intimate scenes between the male and female protagonists, not to mention that kiss scenes are commonplace, only to say that they are romantically embracing each other and doing pottery, and the kiss scene that was rated as the "most romantic love moment" in the history of Hollywood movies...... Why do you want to be cheaper for others?

After Zhong Chuhong read the script, he asked Chen Ping'an in private if he deliberately played the leading actor to take advantage of himself, and Chen Ping'an replied very directly: "Either with me or with a foreigner who looks like an orangutan, and there is still a smell on him, who do you choose?" ”

The angry Zhong Chuhong thrashed him on the back.

Regarding Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong's starring roles in "Ghost Love", everyone in Dark Horse International has no opinion. Honggu's acting skills are undoubted, Chen Ping'an's acting skills, he talks so well about the drama, there must be no problem in filming, and he is still the boss, isn't it?

But in the eyes of the Americans in the crew, Chen Ping'an is irresponsible, irresponsible for the movie, and irresponsible for his investment.

Whoopi and Pete believe that their signing with Dark Horse International was a mistake and should not be impulsive; Cameron privately approached Chen Ping'an for a good opportunity and reminded him that it was necessary to change the leading role, and at least one of the two leading actors should be replaced by an American, preferably a first-line star; Anne is a scheming woman, although she is not optimistic about "People and Ghosts" starring Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong, but she doesn't say it, and she doesn't let Cameron remind Chen Ping'an that she hopes that Chen Ping'an will lose a mess, and then she will have the opportunity to buy back the copyright of "Terminator".

Regardless of the opinions of others, on October 1, 1985, "The Love of People and Ghosts" was officially launched, firing the first shot of Chinese films led by Chen Ping'an to invade Hollywood.

The lineup that combines Chinese and Western, actors who are not well-known in the United States, are destined to be directed by Chen Ping'an's "People and Ghosts", which does not require an investment of 10 million US dollars at all, not to mention that Chen Ping'an also brought in 1.2 million sponsorships, and the funds are very sufficient.

The extra funds were used by Chen Ping'an as much as possible during the filming process. This film is the first step for him to enter Hollywood, whether it is the plot, acting, or the picture, sound quality, as well as shooting techniques and skills, he has to pursue the best, this time he has put his directing skills to the bottom of the box to show.

There are too many small and medium-sized film companies in the United States, and new movies are launched almost every day, and what can really attract media attention are those movies shot by big-name directors, big-name stars or big-name companies, and Chen Ping'an does not have these elements.

On the day of the start-up, Chen Ping'an finally saw Li Press. Since Chen Ping'an came to the United States, this guy has not shown up. The day after Chen Ping'an arrived in the United States, he received a phone call from Li Ping, saying that his wife was sick and that he wanted to take care of her at home.

Regarding Li Ji's current state, Chen Ping'an has nothing to say. In the previous life, Li pressed as a housewife and man at home for six years, doing housework, laundry and cooking every day, and waiting with her children every night for "the heroic hunter's mother to come home with her prey".

Chen Ping'an gave Li Press a job, but failed to give Li Press confidence, because the Dark Horse International Film Company he established in the United States was completely a shell company. During the eleven months that he returned to Hong Kong, Li Press's work in the company was to pay rent, utilities and other expenses, receive letters and other trivial things, and the biggest thing was to transfer the 2 million "Terminator" box office to Hong Kong Dark Horse International, and the rest of the time was spent conducting his own film research.

How can such a work content stimulate his state?

On the first day of start-up, he met with the crew, and when he learned that Chen Ping'an's play had an investment of 10 million yuan, and only the male and female protagonists in the play were Orientals, he was immediately interested. took the initiative to ask Ying to be Chen Ping'an's assistant.

After the filming of the film began, Li Zhao found that many of Chen Ping'an's shooting techniques and concepts, as well as his conceptual ideas, were particularly novel, and his pursuit of picture and sound effects also surpassed any other film of his time. Don't talk about him, directors such as Wang Jing, Guan Jinpeng, and Wu Yusen have benefited a lot, even Cameron is no exception.

He really understands movies!

This is the first time I have seen Li Press and Cameron, who directed a movie directed by Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an's "The Love of People and Ghosts" is based on the one in the 90s of the later life, and it integrates some of the beautiful and romantic scenes in the Japanese remake of the 10 years, and adds a little of his ideas. With exquisite pictures, beautiful atmosphere, and romantic love, make up for the flaws.

What is a hard injury? Naturally, he and Zhong Chuhong are the oriental faces of the male and female protagonists.

At the beginning of filming, because the crew was unable to adapt to Chen Ping'an's novel techniques and concepts, mistakes were often made and progress was slow. However, under the integration of Chen Ping'an's strong directorial aura and scheduling ability, the staff quickly adapted, entered the state, and gradually accelerated the shooting speed.

In order to leave time for Zhong Chuhong to learn pottery, Chen Ping'an was filming other scenes in the first few days. Five days later, Zhong Chuhong became a little successful, and immediately began to make up the romantic picture of the two embracing each other and making pottery......
