Chapter 197 Wang Guxian asked for a salary increase
"What the hell is Chen Ping'an doing?"
"Why hasn't it been so long?"
"yes, it's been more than half an hour, what are you doing?"
"Will there be any big moves again?"
"With his character...... It's possible. ”
……
On the set, reporters gathered around the simple stage that was set up and discussed.
After the opening ceremony, it is supposed to introduce the cast and crew, reveal some film gimmicks for reporters to report, and then reporters interview. Dark Horse International has done this before, and today's arrangement is the same. The reporters have already got the cast and crew, but the problem is that the two protagonists, Chen Ping'an and Wang Guxian, have not shown up for a long time!
Not only did the reporters leave here, but the other members of the crew were also chatting on the side.
Producer: Chen Ping'an.
Director: Chen Ping'an.
Assistant Director: Chen Jiashang.
Screenwriter: Chen Ping'an.
Photography: Pan Hengsheng, Li Jiagao, Huang Yongheng, Liu Mantang.
Action Coach: Chen Jiaban.
Art Director: Wu Baoling.
VFX: Dark Horse VFX Studio.
Starring:Chen Ping'an,Wang Guxian,Wu Ma,Liu Zhaoming,Wen Bibian......
This list of credits and crew has been seen by reporters more than a dozen times, and there is nothing unusual, except for the dark horse special effects studio. Chen Ping'an established a dark horse special effects studio, and Xu Ke led the studio members to the United States to study in Industrial Light and Magic.
Suddenly saw the "Dark Horse Special Effects Studio", and the reporters were interested, but they only knew when they asked - okay, today's opening ceremony, no one from the Dark Horse Special Effects Studio came to attend!
It's not a joke!
The bored reporters got together to chat in twos and threes, and made up their minds that if Chen Ping'an did not give them a satisfactory answer for a while, they would never give up. Journalists are people, not vegetables, not for shabu-shabu!
A reporter came to the side of the reporter of "Oriental Daily" and handed over a cigarette: "What does Boss Chen want to do, brother, give me some wind?" ”
The Oriental Daily shrugged: "I want to know too." ”
Another reporter found Chen Jiashang: "Director Chen, what surprise is Boss Chen going to give us?" ”
What a surprise Chen Jiashang is very clear. In order to increase the publicity of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Chen Ping'an decided to be interviewed by reporters after applying makeup with Wang Guxian and Wen Bifang. Chen Ping'an's appearance as a scholar and Wang Guxian's appearance as a female ghost can be described as "surprise". Especially Wang Guxian, the feeling of long hair fluttering and fluttering white dress, as well as facial expressions, simply brought the female ghost to life.
Appearing in front of a reporter in the face of a drama is sure to have a miraculous effect, and tomorrow's newspapers will surely cover it widely, thus arousing the interest of the public.
This was set by Chen Ping'an in advance, but the problem is that half an hour is enough, why hasn't it come out yet? Chen Jiashang is also playing drums in his heart, there won't be any problems, right? After a while, a makeup artist hurriedly ran over and whispered in his ear: "Little Director Chen is not good, Big Director Chen seems to be angry." ”
"Angry?" Chen Jiashang has joined Dark Horse International for so long, and he has never seen Chen Ping'an get angry, and he has never even heard of it, "Why?" ”
"Because Miss Wang Guxian asked for a salary increase......"
Ten minutes ago, Chen Ping'an, Wang Guxian and Wen Bibian were applying makeup in the dressing room, preparing to appear in ancient costumes in the play to surprise reporters. Chen Ping'an, the art director of this play, did not choose Ye Jinxi, but invited Wu Baoling, and the actors in the play were all designed by her.
Wu Baoling is a famous costume stylist for Hong Kong films, and is as famous as well-known Hong Kong stylists Zhang Shuping and Ye Jinxi. has created a number of smash hit works, such as "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "Xiao Li Flying Knife", "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" and so on.
Unlike Ye Jinxi, who is so heavy and colorful, she can be both gorgeous and elegant to the extreme, she insists on aestheticism, elegant and extraordinary, and her costumes are mainly abstract concepts, and she prefers the use of quirky materials, which is very in line with the atmosphere of this play, so Chen Ping'an specially asked Chen Jiashang to invite her.
According to Chen Ping'an's conception, the image designed by Wu Baoling was praised by everyone, Wang Guxian was surprised and delighted after seeing his appearance in the mirror for the first time, and took a look in front of the mirror for more than ten minutes before reluctantly taking off the costume.
After the start-up ceremony, Chen Ping'an said sorry for the reporter to wait for a while, and he took Wang Guxian and Wen Bibian to the dressing room. It only took more than 20 minutes to change into costumes in the dressing room and finish makeup, and when I was about to go out, Wang Guxian, who was dressed as a female ghost with long hair and a shawl in white clothes, suddenly said: "Director Chen, I have something to say to you." ”
"What's wrong?"
"I ask for a salary increase!"
Hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Wang Guxian in dismay. This is the first time that someone has asked Chen Ping'an to increase his salary during filming. This kind of thing rarely happens even in the Hong Kong film industry, after all, the salary has long been stipulated in the contract!
Chen Ping'an frowned: "Is it that if I don't agree, you are not going to go out with me to meet reporters, and you are not going to shoot this drama?" ”
"I don't have ......"
"Nothing!" Chen Ping'an scolded and waved at the others, "You go out first, I have something to say to her alone." ”
The temperature in the dressing room plummeted, and the air seemed to be condensed, overwhelming people. Chen Ping'an spoke, and they left immediately, and in the blink of an eye, only Chen Ping'an and Wang Guxian were left in the dressing room.
Chen Ping'an sat in front of the dressing table and looked at Wang Guxian expressionlessly: "Do you think the salary I gave you is very low?" ”
Wang Guxian glanced at him timidly and muttered, "It's only 500,000, which is one-tenth of Honggu'...... I know that you like Honggu more and treat her better than me, otherwise Fu Bo would call her the eldest wife! ”
In this play, Wang Guxian's salary is 500,000 yuan, which belongs to the salary of Hong Kong's first-line actresses, which is already a lot. But the problem is that Zhong Chuhong's salary in "Autumn Fairy Tale" is five million, and she is also Chen Ping'an's woman, the gap is too big!
And last night, she and Zhou Haimei went to Chen Ping'an's villa to spend the night, and the housekeeper Fubo handed Chen Ping'an the gift that Zhong Chuhong delivered from the American mail - a tie clip made of pure gold. It's easy to say, but the problem is that Fauber said in front of them that the gift was sent by the eldest lady.
Big Lady...... Zhou Haimei doesn't care, she is more similar to Lin Yixia, as long as Chen Ping'an dotes on them, she didn't think about fighting for any reputation, Chen Ping'an promised to be good to them for the rest of her life. But Wang Guxian is different, although they are all Chen Ping'an's women, and they all accept each other's deposits, but she always wants to fight for her reputation.
A big lady made her feel uncomfortable all night. When I was putting on makeup just now, I heard the makeup artist next to her say that she had also put on makeup for Zhong Chuhong before, and she was a fan of Zhong Chuhong, and she was looking forward to "Autumn Fairy Tale" starring Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong.
"Go close the door!" Chen Ping'an's voice was very cold, so cold that Wang Guxian's heart also made her sober up.
Wang Guxian shuddered, ran over and closed the door, ran over and sat in Chen Ping'an's arms, wrapped his arms around his neck, and said coquettishly: "Brother An, people don't mean anything else, people just want you to be good to others." ”
"So, you think I'm not good for you?"
"Okay, you're very nice to me, you love me very much." Wang Guxian already understood that he had made a big mistake, and there was nothing wrong with being jealous, but the way of expression was wrong, "Brother An, I was wrong, I won't dare next time." ”
"Next time?"
"No, I won't dare to do it in the future. Can you forgive me, it's a big deal to let you ...... from behind tonight Well, don't keep your face stiff, it's scary, or I'll help you with my mouth, don't be angry. ”
As he spoke, Wang Guxian was about to squat down, but Chen Ping'an hugged her with a softened expression: "Xiaoxian, as I said, you are all my women, and I will be good to each of you." Is there a big difference between half a million and five million for you? If you are short of money, will I not give it to you? Also, Ah Hongren is in the United States, and I will accompany her for two or three months a year at most, but what about you, you are about to become the hostess of my villa, isn't it enough? Do you know that Ah Hong would rather swap with you and let you film in the United States, and she accompanies me in Hong Kong every day. Is this what you want? ”
"Don't!" Wang Guxian shook his head vigorously and hugged Chen Ping'an tightly, "I'd rather not film and be by your side every day." Brother An, I know it's wrong, I won't be angry with Sister Hong in the future, it's no problem for her to be big and I to be small, anyway, she was with you earlier than me. ”
"The size of a fart!" Chen Ping'an scratched Wang Guxianqiong's nose, "If you really want to arrange the size by time, you two are small!" But I treat my women equally, big or small. ”
"I know that Brother An is the best and loves me the most." Wang Guxian probed his mouth and wanted to kiss Chen Ping'an, but was pushed away by the latter: "Don't mess around, you're done with makeup!" ”
"What will you tell them then?"
This matter can't be covered up, more than a dozen staff members have seen it, and someone will definitely break the news to the media in private.
Chen Ping'an smiled: "You don't have to worry about it, you can just use this to promote this movie and promote you." ”
……
The reporters at the scene waited for nearly an hour, complaining for days, and finally waited for Chen Ping'an, Wang Guxian and Wen Bibian. When they saw the appearance of Chen Ping'an and the second daughter, they didn't complain in their hearts, and couldn't wait to raise the camera and take a picture of it.
Chen Ping'an is dressed as a scholar, carrying a book basket behind his back, his eyebrows are clear, and he is not as sharp as before, but looks shy and cowardly, and looks like a scholar who only looks like a scholar.
Wang Guxian, who has a fluttering white dress, gives people a feeling of not eating the fireworks of the world. After Wu Baoling's design, it feels like a dreamy beauty at a rough look, and a closer look is amazingly beautiful and natural, without carving and natural, and people can't help but think of Nie Xiaoqian's image when they stop there.
Wen Bibian plays Xiaoqing in the play, in order to take care of her, Chen Ping'an deliberately modified the plot to increase her role. She is dressed in a long cyan dress, sexy and enchanting, which contrasts sharply with Wang Guxian's pure and elegant image.
The two women, one left and one right, stood beside Chen Ping'an, stunning the audience.
"Wang Guxian is so beautiful!"
"So pure, so beautiful, such a female ghost will be tempted even if she is a man!"
"I didn't expect Wen Bibian to be able to show a charming side, which is completely different from the previous screen image."
"She's only twenty years old, is she going to take the sexy route now?"
"Chen Ping'an's appearance is so beautiful, I don't know how many girls will be fascinated after the release."
"Last year it was 'ghost', this year it was 'human', both images are so good, is he a director or an actor?"
"Don't forget he's also a screenwriter!"
"I'm kind of looking forward to this movie now."
"Me too."
"Of course, Boss Chen's movie must be expected." It was the brother from the Oriental Daily who spoke, causing boos from his peers around him.
While taking pictures, the reporters whispered that their previous disapproval of "A Chinese Ghost Story" had completely changed with the appearance of the three of them in the play. Looking forward to this is the feeling of the reporters at the moment, they are sure that after the photos appear in the newspaper tomorrow, Hong Kong citizens will be like them, full of expectations for Chen Ping'an's "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Chen Ping'an, Wang Guxian, and Wen Bibian posed in various poses, and the reporter took pictures for five minutes just to take pictures.
In the subsequent interview with reporters, the questions all revolved around the play "A Chinese Ghost Story", which was compared with last year's "People and Ghosts", and also compared the heroines Zhong Chuhong and Wang Guxian in the two movies.
"Mr. Chen, is this drama going to be released in the United States?"
"It's a must." When he said this, Chen Ping'an's face no longer had Ning Caichen's shyness, cowardice and resignation.
"Will Miss Wang Guxian also achieve the same height as Miss Chung Chuhong in Hollywood?"
Chen Ping'an's eyes glanced at the "Sing Tao Daily". "It's hard for me to say what Xiaoxian will do in Hollywood, but the west is not bright and the east is bright, after this drama is released, you will understand what I said."
"What about Miss Wen Bibian?"
"She?" Feeling that Wen Bibian had just received a snub, Chen Ping'an reached out and hugged the other party's small waist, "This is a gorgeous fire rose, don't you think so?" ”
"May I ask Mr. Chen, can you briefly introduce the Dark Horse Special Effects Studio?"
"Haha, this is kept secret for the time being, and there will be surprises when the movie is released."
Seeing that the interview time was about to end, the reporters thought of the topic they were most interested in when they first came to the opening ceremony - "Autumn Fairy Tale".
This literary film with an investment of 15 million and Zhong Chuhong's remuneration of 5 million has always attracted much attention. After the crew returned from the United States a few days ago, the reporters waiting at the airport conducted a brief interview. Chen Ping'an didn't say anything that time, and pushed Zhang Wanting to the front desk. Zhang Wanting's answer was decent and could not satisfy the reporter, and the fact that the newspaper's sales did not change much the next day was the most intuitive embodiment.
So today, they want to get some valuable news from Chen Ping'an's mouth. For example, how was the filming going, when it was released in Hong Kong, what kind of box office would it get, and so on.
However, although Chen Ping'an's answer was full of passion, it disappointed them again: "Next Easter, "Autumn Fairy Tale" will meet the whole Hong Kong audience. At that time, Dark Horse International will give the Hong Kong audience a fairy tale, a rebirth and a hope! ”R1152
