Chapter 662: The heroine of a Christmas romance movie
The 5th Sister Asia finals came to an end, but the topic around Sister Asia has not stopped.
First, a reporter broke out that Li Ruoxun intended to resign as the Asian sister champion, and there are photos as evidence, the new Asian sister champion Li Ruohun returned to the airport in a flight attendant uniform.
As soon as this news came out, there was immediately gossip to follow suit, questioning that ATV's high-level executives had made non-sub-demands, and Li Ruoxun was forced to leave. A third-rate tabloid implied Chen Ping'an in the report, and was immediately attacked by other third-rate tabloids, saying that if it was Chen Ping'an, I was afraid that Li Ruoxun would definitely not agree.
ATV and Chen Ping'an ignored this kind of gossip. Every year, after the finals of Sister Asia and Sister Hong Kong come to an end, there will be a wave of gossip. Compared with previous years, this year is not bad, Li Ruoxun made such a thing, but the newspapers that received the news that she and Chen Ping'an had known each other for a long time could not report it.
At that time, those newspapers were ready to use this as a basis to question the shady existence of this year's Asian sister champion, and the champion was decided!
However, ATV was more annoyed by this, Shi Nansheng decided to remove Li Ruoxun from the championship title, and the runner-up Weng Hong made up for it, the third runner-up Zhao Jingyi was promoted to the runner-up, and Wu Yongwei was the third runner-up, becoming the new top three.
This is not new, there is a precedent for the Hong Kong sister of wireless, but at that time, the champion was found to be fraudulent and deprived of the championship qualification.
On August 21st, the top three beauties of Miss Asia and Miss Hong Kong accepted a live interview with Radio Television Hong Kong's "Morning Light First Line" program. In the interview, when the host asked a Hong Kong sister why she ran for Miss Hong Kong instead of Sister Asia, the Hong Kong sister's answer was quite "provocative".
"Because Miss Hong Kong has status, I chose Miss Hong Kong."
Such an answer. If you put it in previous years, it would definitely be a big truth, but since last year. Sister Asia's influence has gradually increased, and this year's Miss Asia has comprehensively overwhelmed Sister Hong Kong. This has been proven in the ratings as well as in the media coverage.
Moreover, the competition between wireless and ATV is well known to the world, and it is certainly not appropriate to say it so bluntly in public. This year's ATV is catching up in an all-round way, although the overall ratings are still slightly inferior to wireless, but the upward momentum is rapid, which is seen by everyone.
At that time, the top three beauties of Sister Asia were also present, and they all expressed their attitudes when they heard this kind of words.
"The system of this Miss Asia has won unanimous praise from all walks of life, and the image of Miss Asia is also different from that of Miss Hong Kong, full of the atmosphere of the 90s, and the status of Miss Hong Kong should be on an equal footing." This is the reply of Weng Hong, the champion of the new Keya sister. It's quite polite.
Wu Yongwei is not so polite: "The styles of the two are very different, especially this year's Miss Asia is of a very high standard, I think the Miss Asia champion, whether it is Li Ruoxun or Weng Hong, is more beautiful than Miss Hong Kong Chen Farong." ”
Zhao Jingyi replied most directly: "Are you questioning Mr. Chen Ping'an?" ”
In the radio program, the direct confrontation between Sister Ya and Sister Hong Kong was reported by major media the next day, which caused another heated discussion among Hong Kong people.
Chen Ping'an didn't care about this and continued to shoot his "Gambling Saint". ATV is different. Although he did not answer the reporter's interview, ATV obviously gave special treatment to the top three beauties of this year's Asian sisters, and has begun to look for a suitable script for them.
No matter what others say. In the end, it depends on their respective development in the entertainment industry, unless they can marry into a wealthy family in a short time.
Shi Nansheng was very optimistic about Wu Yongwei, and called Chen Ping'an to inquire. Is there a script suitable for Wu Yongwei, just like the popular Guan Yonghe. Although Wu Yongwei became popular for a short time.
Chen Ping'an told Shi Nansheng that Wu Yongwei's potential is very good. You don't need his help, you have to believe in the level of screenwriters in the station, and the staff of ATV will never lose to wireless.
In fact, ATV has many talents, but the ATV of later generations was pressed too hard by wireless, and later reduced expenses to compress self-made dramas, and many excellent staff and actors passed through wireless, so in the end, there was no room for turning over.
Chen Ping'an took over ATV earlier and blocked ATV's first wave of defection to wireless, so now ATV has enough talents, as long as it can be played, even without the help of his script, it can be on par with wireless.
In the end, he told Shi Nansheng that last night's No. 12 beauty Wan Qiwen was very optimistic about herself and had the potential to become ATV's future flower.
It's as simple as that, and without saying too much, no one will doubt his vision anymore.
The matter on ATV's side came to an end, and Chen Ping'an continued to shoot "The Saint of Gambling".
After the rapid run-in in the early stage, Zhou Xingchi always brought himself into the director and screenwriter's fault, and the shooting speed of "The Saint of Gambling" was greatly improved. In the middle of filming, Chen Ping'an even gave way and handed over the power of the hand-held camera to Li Lizhi, and sat next to him to direct.
Li Lizhi knew that this was Chen Ping'an's appreciation of himself and cherished this opportunity. It's a pity that he is still too young and inexperienced, and there are many defects in many places, so the shooting speed slows down. Later, Chen Ping'an took over the crew again, and the shooting speed returned to the previous speed.
Chen Ping'an didn't have much time to guide Li Lizhi, he was in a hurry to finish filming "The Saint of Gambling" and fly to the UK, Weng Meiling's due date was approaching.
At the beginning of September, the summer vacation of the Hong Kong film industry is coming to an end. There is no doubt that Dark Horse International has once again become the biggest winner.
There was no Chen Ping'an's movie released this summer, but the directors of Dark Horse International still laughed at the film industry with absolute achievements and did not give their competitors any chance.
"The Saint of Gambling" was also completed as planned. He doesn't have to worry too much about the post-editing work in Hong Kong, the company has an editor who cuts the film for him, and he knows his style very well. Tell the editor what he needs to pay attention to, Chen Ping'an is preparing to fly to the United Kingdom.
He promised Weng Meiling that he would accompany her to see the birth of the child with her own eyes.
Before leaving, Zhang Yijia found him: "Boss, have your plans come out this Christmas?" ”
Zhang Yijia also knows that Chen Ping'an is busy this year, filming in Hong Kong and the United States. However, the Christmas file has always been the dominant dark horse international, and it is Chen Ping'an's market, and the Christmas in the past few years has been released all the movies written, directed and acted by Chen Ping'an.
No matter what kind of movie it is, the love deduced in it is touching to the audience and earns enough tears.
It's already September. It's close to Christmas. Calculating the itinerary, Chen Ping'an went to the United States to attend the premiere of "Crazy Flowers". After returning, I will attend the premiere of "The Saint of Gambling", and the rest of the time should be spent on filming Christmas movies.
So she needs to ask. In order to prepare Chen Ping'an during his trip to the United States, people can prepare a qiē. What happened during the filming of the Christmas movie last year, Zhang Yijia still remembers it vividly.
"I've got the book ready, for you." Chen Ping'an took out the script and handed it over.
Zhang Yijia was quickly moved by the plot in the script, and her eyes turned red when she looked at it.
After carefully flipping through the last page of the script, she got up and walked to the bathroom: "I'm sorry, I'll wash my face first." ”
At a glance from Chen Ping'an's previous Christmas blockbusters, this book is also a romance movie. Zhang Yijia thinks that after this book is sent out to the movie. It will be more rushing than the movies of the previous two years. In this movie, she felt the shadow of "Ghost Love", although the style is different, but it is equally touching.
After washing his face and adjusting his feelings, Zhang Yijia came back and sat down: "The book is great, you played the actor himself, right?" ”
"Yes."
"What about the heroine?"
"Heroine ......" Chen Ping'an hesitated, "I haven't chosen the heroine yet." ”
"Not selected yet? There are so many female stars in the company, is there nothing you are satisfied with? If you want to be a newcomer, you can also choose from ATV's sister in the past two years. Ah Zhong has also signed a few good newcomers this year...... It's really not good, you can audition all over Hong Kong, there are more girls who want to star in your romance movie. It also happens to be a promotion for the movie. ”
Chen Ping'an shook his head: "The choice of the heroine, I'm waiting, you don't have to worry." I know it. ”
"But it's September now, so you need to turn it on as soon as possible. In this case, you first set the assistant director. Let him prepare the crew, choose the scenery or something. When you get back from the U.S., decide on location. After two days of rest, you can turn on the machine directly. Don't refuse, I'm the president of the company. You're just my director now! You're too casual, but I have to get the job done in the company! ”
"Okay, okay, if you win Sister Jia, the assistant director will find Wang Jiawei and let him be my deputy, and I'll talk to him about the script this afternoon, right?"
"That's pretty much it!" Zhang Yijia showed a satisfied smile on his face, "It's not that I forced you, but the company's system." When the new drama is set on your side, the theater chain can also arrange the schedule, so that the publicity department can formulate a publicity plan. In the future, can you finish filming early, don't always wait until a few days before the release to finish, all departments are very passive. ”
"What Mr. Zhang reprimanded was, I remembered."
"Come less, who dares to reprimand you, not afraid of being fired by you?"
Zhang Yijia left with a smile, and Chen Ping'an directly asked the secretary Amy to inform Wang Jiawei that he would come to the office at two o'clock in the afternoon to find him.
After arranging a qiē, he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the distant scenery, but in his mind he was considering the choice of the heroine.
After all these days, why hasn't she contacted me yet?
Wang Jiawei came very punctually, and appeared in Chen Ping'an's office at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Since "Carmen in Mong Kok", he made another movie, which turned out to be a dismal box office. Later, he stopped making films for the time being, but devoted himself to creation. Just like when he was in New Arts City, he would spend a long time creating a script, and the quality of the script could not be guaranteed.
The difference is that Chen Ping'an has specifically explained before, don't bother Wang Jiawei, don't force him, come with him. The relaxed environment of the company makes every staff member very relaxed.
"What have you been busy with lately?"
"Write the script."
"Always writing?"
Wang Jiawei nodded.
"It seems that this is another script that has put all your heart and soul into it. Be sure to show it to me when you're done. ”
"Okay."
"My Christmas movie is about to start, are you interested in me being an assistant director?"
Wang Jiawei's eyes lit up: "No problem, I'm honored." ”
"That's good, this is the script, you can take a look first, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. I'm going abroad in a few days, you pull the crew up first, as well as the selection and set work. As for the actors, the male protagonist is me, you don't have to worry about the heroine, you decide the rest. We keep in touch on the phone and communicate at any time, ok? ”
When Wang Jiawei carefully studied the script, Chen Ping'an's eldest brother rang out, and the heroine in his mind finally made a decision...... (To be continued......)
