Chapter 678: Failed Blocking

This year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony is coming, and the list of nominees has been announced, which has nothing to do with Chen Ping'an, because he was banned by the Taiwan authorities, and was boycotted by the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee because of the bombardment of the Golden Horse Awards last year.

But this year's "Jurassic Park" was released simultaneously around the world, and Taiwan, a neighbor without Hong Kong, caused anger among fans who could not watch the movie, and large-scale demonstrations broke out.

Taiwan has always been one of the important box offices of Hong Kong films, and under normal circumstances, if an actor or director is banned by Taiwan, in addition to turning to the mainland to develop in the mainland, basically he will not be able to mix in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

For example, Leung Jiahui back then, what if he got the actor, didn't he have to set up a stall to make a living?

But Chen Ping'an is different, his movies cannot be said to be unimportant at the Taiwan box office, but the role is much smaller. Compared with Hong Kong, the Taiwan market is very large, but compared with Japan, the Taiwan box office is the same.

Chen Ping'an's films have never been worried about the box office in Japan. For the Japanese, who are accustomed to worshipping the strong, Chen Ping'an has become a symbol of excellent movies.

The release of "Jurassic Park" made Chen Ping'an's prestige in Japan reach its peak, and the film grossed more than 14 billion yen in Japan, approaching the first box office record of 15 billion yen for "ET. Alien" in 82.

"The Saint of Gambling" is also Chen Ping'an's work, which also cannot land in Taiwan, but as early as before the release, the Japanese side took the initiative to contact and has already negotiated the agency distribution. In Japan, just like the movie starring Cheng Long and Wang Guxian, there will definitely be many viewers watching it. But the movie directed by Chen Ping'an is also highly anticipated, just waiting for the Japanese version to come out. It was released in Japan.

As for Taiwan...... Chen Ping'an is hehe.

Hehe, Taiwan can't calm down.

In the past, the Taiwan authorities used the method of banning Hong Kong entertainers to clamp down, but Chen Ping'an is an alternative, not only could they not restrain it, but they caused a commotion. The audience who wanted to watch it but couldn't see the movie directed by Chen Ping'an was angry.

At the instigation of some people. They took to the streets, shouting that it was unreasonable to ban movies without borders, and expressed their protest in their hearts.

The situation is more chaotic. Just like the feminist movement in the United States, there will always be people or other forces who will help the situation to fish in troubled waters to achieve their own goals, which makes the situation even more chaotic.

The Taiwan authorities are anxious. So the Golden Horse Awards found Lianhai Pictures. wants to ease the relationship with Chen Ping'an and calm the current situation. It is said that many viewers directly stated in interviews that they would not watch this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony because of fairness, and they would rather go to Hong Kong to watch "The Saint of Gambling" than watch a shady performance in front of the TV.

The Golden Horse Awards obviously didn't expect that a director would have such a strong influence, and he wanted to block his arrogance and teach him a lesson. Who would have thought that in the end, it was himself who was hurt the most.

As for the Taiwan box office lost by Dark Horse International...... Don't be funny, I don't see the video of "Jurassic Park" appearing on the Taiwan market in the past two months. Are they all selling crazy?

The Taiwan authorities have also strictly investigated smuggling channels, but it was an agent sales of Lianhai Pictures, can it be found? Can fans who have been looking forward to "Jurassic Park" say yes?

The ban has the opposite effect, and it also bans a fart, but the Golden Horse Awards, which are nominally out of the control of the authorities, are exploring the way, and they are trying to ease the relationship between each other.

They invited Chen Ping'an to attend this year's Golden Horse Awards, although no works participated, but the Golden Horse Awards plan to follow this year's Academy Awards and launch a Lifetime Achievement Award to be awarded to Chen Ping'an. As for the visas, all the things will be solved by the Golden Horse Award, which guarantees that there will be no mistakes, and at the same time ensures the safety of Chen Ping'an after he comes to Taiwan.

The conditions offered were very generous, but they were not enough to impress Chen Ping'an.

He thought about it for a night, and called Lianhai Pictures back early the next morning, asking them to convey their attitude: "I am a person who will take revenge, and I will not take the initiative to provoke others, but someone bullied me, and this revenge must be avenged." Rest assured, only the evil remnants will not be investigated, and after this matter is resolved, it will be easy to discuss. ”

This sentence, if left to those who don't understand, will definitely be confused; For those who can understand, the meaning of the words is clear.

After making this call, Chen Ping'an rushed to Tseung Kwan O by car, and the launching ceremony of "Star Wish" was held at the Dark Horse Film and Television Base.

When he arrived at the scene, it was relatively late, the main actors in the play had already arrived, and they were being interviewed by reporters, and the assistant director Wang Jiawei was maintaining order on the scene.

In this filming of "Star Wish", in addition to him and Li Ruoxun playing the male and female leads, there are also stars such as Zheng Yijian, Deng Cuiwen, Zeng Zhiwei, and Chen Baixiang to join.

Zheng Yijian plays Dr. Hu, who has a good impression of the heroine in the play, and he played the role of a doctor in last year's "Left to Right". When Wang Jiawei said on the phone that he felt that Zheng Yijian was very suitable for this role, Chen Ping'an agreed without thinking about it.

Deng Cuiwen was recommended by Chen Ping'an to Wang Jiawei and asked him to take the initiative to contact him.

Deng Cuiwen is one of the leading actresses of TVB in recent years, graduated from the artist training class in 85 and joined TVB and signed a five-year contract. The first TV series that debuted was starring in "Xue Rengui's Eastern Crusade" with Wan Ziliang, and the two also developed a relationship, but it ended every two years.

Later, she starred in dramas such as "Happy Female Ghost", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "Chivalrous Travel", "Big City Boy", "Decisive Battle of the Imperial City", "Gray Net" and other dramas, and was called "Little Weng Meiling".

Chen Ping'an and Weng Meiling's love affair gradually became forgotten as Weng Meiling faded out of the public eye as Weng Meiling turned to the background. In fact, it is not forgotten, but the media is too lazy to mention it, because the news is not strong, and Chen Ping'an has a lot of scandals, so he can't fry old rice.

The old people of Dark Horse International know that the relationship between the two is intimate, and the relationship is absolutely not over. So after Chen Ping'an proposed Deng Cuiwen on the phone, Wang Jiawei's first reaction was "Little Weng Meiling".

After receiving the film appointment from the crew, Deng Cuiwen was quite surprised. Although it is a supporting role, the movie directed by Chen Ping'an has a great influence, and being able to play a role in it will definitely be of great help to his acting career, and the salary given by the crew is not low.

Deng Cuiwen has been in wireless for a few years, although she is famous, she really hasn't made any money. Later, she said this in public, and even passed ATV in the mid-90s.

The only concern is whether wireless will agree.

Her worries were unnecessary, and Wireless happily agreed. After the finals of this Asian sister, a lot of fresh blood has been provided for ATV, and ATV has too many rookie actresses to cultivate. And Chen Ping'an's preferences are also clear, he likes to promote and train newcomers, and he has little interest in celebrities who have become famous.

Just like not long ago, Tao Dayu, who was not taken seriously in wireless, jumped to ATV, and was favored by Chen Ping'an during the filming of "The Great Era", and it is said that he played a very important role in the professional drama "No. 1 Royal Court" that ATV was filming.

But Zheng Shaohao and Chen Ping'an were not very interested. After the expiration of the contract with Wireless, Zheng Shaohao was ready to go to Taiwan for development, but Chen Ping'an never had the idea of signing a contract.

Deng Cuiwen is now popular in wireless, and Chen Ping'an should not be too interested. And Fang Yihua also believes that Chen Ping'an chose Deng Cuiwen because she has the reputation of "Little Weng Meiling".

Fang Yihua knows the love affair between Chen Ping'an and Weng Meiling very well, and even she knows that when Weng Meiling returned to the UK some time ago, it is likely to raise a baby - Chen Ping'an's child!

Tsang Chi-wai and Chan Pak Cheung are cameos, Tsang Chi Wai plays the jeweler, and Chan Pak Cheung plays the Messenger of Heaven. They all attended today's start-up ceremony.

After Chen Ping'an arrived, everyone came over to say hello, Zheng Yijian was grateful, Zeng Zhiwei was close, Chen Baixiang joked, and Deng Cuiwen said hello nervously.

Naturally, reporters will not miss the opportunity to interview Chen Ping'an, and a small number of questions are related to "The Saint of Gambling", most of which focus on Li Ruoxun and "Star Wish".

Because Chen Ping'an had just beaten reporters at the premiere the night before, in this interview, the questions raised by reporters about the relationship between him and Li Ruoxun were not so explicit.

What made Chen Ping'an feel funny was Zhou Xingchi.

The success of the premiere of "The Saint of Gambling" made Zhou Xingchi excited. Last night, it was officially released in Hong Kong, and he called Wu Mengda and Li Lizhi, and the three of them dressed up and slipped to the cinema to watch "The Saint of Gambling", but they were recognized by the audience next to them, causing a sensation.

When today's newspaper report came out, the reporter asked Chen Ping'an's attitude, and Chen Ping'an replied with a smile: "Isn't this a normal thing?" The actor's filming is a completely different feeling from sitting in the theater and watching the movie he made. When "Ghost Love" was released, I also stayed in the theater to watch the movie. ”

Turn on and worship God, all the processes are completed, and today's work is basically done.

Chen Ping'an's filming has always been like this, and there are few start-up filming on the day of the start-up ceremony, mainly to go through the motions, everyone is familiar with it, and leave enough time for reporters to interview.

Deng Cuiwen easily found Chen Ping'an's free opportunity and walked over alone: "Mr. Chen, hello, I'm Deng Cuiwen." ”

"I know, you're so popular, how could I not know you?"

Deng Cuiwen smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Chen." ”

"There's nothing to thank for this, I think it's very suitable for you to play that role, so let Director Wang find you. In the end, it's your strength. ”

"That's ......" Deng Cuiwen paused, "Many people say that I am quite similar to Sister Weng, what do you think, Director Chen?" ”

"Be yourself, not the second who, understand what I mean? I'm sorry, I'm going to talk to Brother Lak, I'm not with you. ”

Looking at the back of Chen Ping'an's departure, Deng Cuiwen felt a faint loss in her heart. Chen Ping'an's aura is too dazzling, she cherishes this opportunity very much, and has also had a little fantasy, the heroine of next year's Christmas drama may be extravagant, and among the other movies directed by Chen Ping'an, the heroine of any one is also good!

The shortcut ladder to the peak of success is just around the corner, and no one can resist the temptation.

At the end of the start-up ceremony, the reporters who had gained a lot returned satisfied, Chen Ping'an and Datou came to the parking lot, Li Ruoxun suddenly called out to him: "Director Chen, can you send me home?" (To be continued......)
