"Boss, isn't Lao Liu going to serve as the martial arts instructor of "Once Upon a Time"?"

Near noon, Xu Ke sat in front of Chen Ping'an, and the two swallowed clouds and fog together. —.

Just now Liu Jialiang said that he wanted to talk to Chen Ping'an, and he suspected that Liu Jialiang planned to refuse the position of martial arts instructor. Although he is only the assistant director of this play, he likes this play very much and often puts himself in the position of director. Therefore, he is very concerned about the situation of this drama, and he is responsible for the preparation of the crew, and martial arts guidance is more important for this martial arts film.

He had been chatting with Amy outside the door, and when he saw Liu Jialiang walking out with red eyes, he immediately pushed the door in and asked Chen Ping'an what was going on.

"He resigned." Chen Ping'an said.

"Resign?" Xu Ke's eyes widened, "You agreed?" ”

"The twisted melon is not sweet, his heart is no longer in the company, why should I force it to stay?"

"Not really!" Xu Ke stood up and paced repeatedly in front of Chen Ping'an, "Just because of the disagreement of ideas?" I quarrel with him? ”

"And not just because of that."

Liu Jialiang thought about it for a long time, but he still put his thoughts together.

He has always been like picking up the microphone again and continuing to direct films, but unfortunately he didn't find the opportunity for a long time. Until the second half of last year, when he took over the filming of "Fierce Cat" produced by Xinyicheng and directed by Yu Yunkang, under the persuasion and temptation of Yu Cheng, he had the idea of passing over another branch.

Yu Cheng promised him that after joining Xinyicheng, he would invest in him and start a play. At that time, he will not only be the chief martial arts instructor of Xinyi City, but also a director who is highly valued. It is guaranteed that there will be filming every year.

Although he was tempted at the time, he did not immediately agree. But. With the Chinese New Year, Lin Lingdong, who has been valued in Xinyi City, directed the success of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", and Lin Lingdong has become one of the well-known directors in the Hong Kong film industry with this play, and he can't sit still.

In good conscience, Chen Ping'an is very good to the company's employees, although he served as a martial arts instructor last year, he got more dividends in the middle of the year than he got in Shaw Brothers before. And he is the deputy head of the Chen family's class. The status of the company is not low, and he will always be treated preferentially when filming.

He felt that he was just leaving, and he couldn't help Chen Ping'an in his heart.

Today, because of the dispute between ideas with Xu Ke, he is even angry, and there is no reason for this. Therefore, he simply took advantage of this opportunity to ask Chen Ping'an to resign.

After Chen Ping'an learned the reason, he only asked: "Have you thought about it?" ”

"I've been thinking about it for more than two months, and I've thought about it."

"That's good. I accept your resignation, just go back and make up a letter of resignation and hand it over to personnel. ”

Chen Ping'an agreed so happily, to Liu Jialiang's surprise, he thought that Chen Ping'an would make things difficult for him. After all, he plans to jump to New Arts City. Last year, Dark Horse International and Xinyicheng fought so fiercely, many people know it.

"You've helped me a lot, I can't give you a good future. And how can it stop the development you have found? Anyway, we're all friends, aren't we? ”

A friend. Liu Jialiang was moved, and Chen Ping'an's generosity moved him. Leave the office with red eyes. He didn't say anything, but he didn't say anything.

"He was poached by Xinyicheng?" Xu Ke was surprised, but he was more worried about Chen Jiaban, "What about Chen Jiaban?" ”

The Chen family class is based on the Liu family class, most of the members are either Liu Jialiang's younger brothers or Liu Jialiang's apprentices, if they all follow Liu Jialiang to the new art city, there will be no two people left in the Chen family class!

"He went by himself."

When Xinyicheng poached Liu Jialiang, he really wanted to wipe out Chen Jiaban and dig them all to Xinyicheng, but Liu Jialiang did not agree.

He is an old man in the film industry, and he knows the treachery very well. He went to Xinyi City to be able to make movies, and the movies he made could seize the prime time, not to target Dark Horse International, let alone be used as a gun by others.

Moreover, he also knows the advantages and disadvantages of the two film companies, putting aside his friendship with Chen Ping'an, he just said that for the sake of his brothers and apprentices, he would not bring these people to Xinyi City.

They are different from him. He is to be a director to make movies, and go to Xinyi City to have a better development; And only by following Chen Ping'an and being in Dark Horse International will they have a better future. Moreover, Chen Ping'an's attitude just now also dispelled the worries in his heart, and I believe that Chen Ping'an will not be angry with the members of the Chen family class because of him changing jobs.

"Even if he still has a conscience." Xu Ke let out a sigh, "You just let him go?" ”

"I can't give him what he wants, so why delay his future?"

Xu Ke grinned: "Can you give what I want?" ”

"If you want to leave, I welcome you with both hands."

"Hehe, the special effects studio should see results soon, I won't leave if you drive me away." After the joke, Xu Ke became serious, "As soon as Liu Jialiang leaves like this, who is Chen Jiaban going to hand over to take care of?" ”

That's a problem. Although Chen Ping'an will not be angry with Chen Jiaban because of Liu Jialiang, the people of Chen Jiaban may not be worried, and this must be appeased.

"Hmm...... Leave it to Liu Jiahui. He is familiar with everyone else, and he has Liu Jialiang's face, so he should be fine...... What are your opinions? ”

Chen Ping'an suddenly realized that Xu was not the kind of person who was troubled, and since he asked so, he must have his own thoughts.

Sure enough, Xu Ke smiled and said: "I have a friend who is not very ambitious in Xinyi City now, but his martial arts level is not good, and he can also direct." Liu Jialiang went to Xinyi City, let's dig him up, this time it is a draw in front of outsiders. ”

"Who are you talking about?"

"Cheng Xiaodong."

"Who?"

"Cheng Xiaodong."

Cheng Xiaodong is definitely a well-known martial arts instructor in the Hong Kong film industry, and he should also become a hot martial arts film director in the Chinese film industry with "A Chinese Ghost Story". But it's a pity that after "A Chinese Ghost Story" was tinkered out by Chen Ping'an, the martial arts instructor found Chen Jiaban.

Misfortune is not a one-way street, because the new art city has changed hands, and he has a good relationship with Xu Ke. Therefore, he is in an awkward position in Xinyicheng. Especially the movie "Strange Fate" directed last year only won three or four million box office, with the addition of Zeng Zhiwei and the rise of Lin Lingdong. He is even less valued in the new art city. Now that Liu Jialiang has passed the New Art City, his situation is even more worrying

Both he and Liu Jialiang are among the top martial arts instructors. There is a way that the king does not see the king, when Dark Horse International poached the new art city, he did not agree, although there were factors that his friend Xu Ke did not know about this in the United States at the time, there were also factors in this regard.

He and Liu Jialiang joined a company, who will be the first martial artist at that time?

lost a Liu Jialiang in exchange for a Cheng Xiaodong...... It's not a draw, it's me who made a fortune!

"You poached him, and he served as the deputy head of the class with Liu Jiahui...... You sue him. As long as he is willing to come, he is the company's first commander. In the future, after getting familiar with the company, give him a play and let him direct, in short, when the two of you discuss, I will give you full autonomy. ”

Liu Jialiang's joining of New Art City was on the entertainment page the next day, and it became the headline of the entertainment section of "Cheng Pao".

In the eyes of many, this is the first victory of New Arts City against Dark Horse International, and it is also a good start. In the words of Cheng Pao. The new art city has an outstanding director and martial arts instructor like Liu Jialiang, which is definitely like a tiger with wings; And what does an outstanding director like Liu Jialiang say about abandoning Dark Horse International and switching to New Art City?

As for Cheng Xiaodong's transfer from New Art City to Dark Horse International. It didn't attract much attention in the media, only the Oriental Daily News reported on it.

"Oriental Daily" is now getting closer and closer to Dark Horse International.

Chen Ping'an filmed "Midnight Bell" this time, and Lin Qingxia played the reporter. Some of the shots needed to be shot at the newspaper office. Chen Jiashang immediately thought of "Oriental Daily" and contacted the other party. The other party expressed his willingness to provide the venue for free for the crew to shoot.

The editor-in-chief reported the matter to the boss, the Ma brothers. At noon, the Ma brothers invited Chen Ping'an to dinner, and in the afternoon, the editor-in-chief received news that the newspaper sponsored 300,000 yuan for the crew of "Midnight Bell", and in exchange, the name of the newspaper in the movie will use the signboard of "Oriental Daily", and two panoramic shots will be given to the "Oriental Daily" newspaper from the outside. In the filming in the newspaper office and in the lines in the movie, the words "Oriental Daily" will also be mentioned several times.

After this news reached the ears of other newspapers, it was impossible to say that they did not envy it. The fact that Hong Kong's five to six million citizens feed more than 100 newspapers shows that Hong Kong people have the habit of reading newspapers, and also shows that the competition in Hong Kong's newspaper market is fierce.

300,000 is advertised in Chen Ping'an's movie, and it is not a line or two lines or an occasional flash in the camera, but with "Oriental Daily" as the background setting of the heroine, such an advertisement is simply worth it!

Unless "Midnight Bell" is a box office failure.

Although other media outlets are reluctant to admit it, this possibility ...... But it's very low.

This incident once again makes people see that the benefits of international cooperation with Chen Ping'an and Dark Horse are far greater than the benefits that can be obtained by doing the right thing.

To get back to the point, after the news about Liu Jialiang himself turning to Xinyicheng appeared in the newspaper, it caused a lot of trouble to Liu Jialiang himself, because his resignation procedures have not been completed, and he is still an employee of Dark Horse International.

In the face of the reporter's interview, Liu Jialiang was slightly angry, he told the reporter that he was very happy to work in Dark Horse International, Chen Ping'an is a good boss, and the reason why he switched to Xinyicheng was completely for personal reasons, and it was inconvenient to disclose.

The reporters wanted to interview Chen Ping'an about this matter, but after squatting for two days, they found that Chen Ping'an did not appear in the company at all, and even the iconic Mercedes-Benz S did not appear in the parking lot. Later, a reporter bribed the staff, and learned that Chen Ping'an had taken the crew of "Midnight Bell" to Lantau Island for filming.

Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong, with many mountains and few flat lands, and the most populous place on the island is Tai O Town in the southwest. There is an Arhat Temple at the foot of the mountain, and the scenery of the Luohan Cave and the Luohan Spring in the temple is charming. On the west side of the mountain, there is Baolian Temple and the "Big Buddha of the Temple of Heaven", and on the north side there is the ancient castle of the Qing Dynasty pirate Zhang Baozai.

Located on the outlying islands of Tai O, it is known as the "Venice of Hong Kong". Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is less affected by urbanization and still retains the style of a fishing village in Hong Kong in the early days. The scenery is beautiful, and the shacks on the waterway are elevated, which is a fisherman's residence. The river and the spring are interspersed in an orderly manner with rows of ancient shack buildings, which set off the unique fishing village style.

Since the 70s, many Hong Kong people have enjoyed going to Lantau Island for leisure, relaxation and play on weekends and holidays.

Chen Ping'an's version of "Midnight Bell" replaces "Izu" with Lantau Island, and all the mysteries focus on Lantau Island, where those who died also died after visiting Lantau Island and watching the videotape.

The scenery of Tai O Town is beautiful and the people are simple, and the whole crew is very relaxed when they come here to shoot and film. The residents of Tai O Town also welcomed the crew of "Midnight Bell". Aside from the expenses incurred during the filming of the crew, many Tai O residents were not only able to get close to the stars, but also had the opportunity to act as extras to earn extra money.

"Lights! The light is too bright, dim it, dim it again, good! ”

……

"Cameraman, Lao Bao, you didn't keep up with the camera just now, pay attention when you reshoot."

……

"Attention of all departments, the third shooting of the eighth shot of the twenty-third scene of "Midnight Bell", Exon!"

……

"Cards! Sanada, don't put on a show, this is not an action movie, and you are not a kung fu master. Naturally, be natural...... Damn, translate it to him. ”

……

"Did Sister Qingxia fall? Drama administration, don't you want to clean up here, how can there be stones! ”

……

"Ok, this is over, call it a day today!"

……

During the filming on Lantau Island, the whole crew was in a happy mood, the beautiful scenery dispelled the horror scenes in the movie, and the crew members were so unhappy every day. I am in a good mood, my work efficiency is greatly improved, and my shooting speed is also improved a lot.

These days, Chen Ping'an's life is very regular. After waking up, I warmed up by running around the beach, then practised karate, and then had breakfast with the crew and tasted the unique Tai O cuisine. Tai O is famous for its traditional salted fish, prawn paste and fish maw.

Then the crew filmed, if there was no night scene, after finishing work in the afternoon, everyone had their own pastime. He sometimes goes to the bar to drink with the crew members, and occasionally takes Li Jiaxin or Lin Qingxia to sit on the beach to watch the tide fall, and occasionally comes to the field, which is very nourishing.

This morning, Chen Ping'an woke up at 10 o'clock in the morning. The night train drove late last night, everyone slept late, and the crew didn't start work until two o'clock this afternoon, because there was still a night scene.

After washing up and coming out of the hotel, Chen Ping'an went to the beach for a run as usual, breathing in the freshness of the sea, and the whole person was very comfortable.

At eleven o'clock, I was walking on the beach in a sweat, ready to go back to the hotel to take a shower, and then have lunch, when I suddenly saw a large group of reporters, carrying long guns and short cannons, the team was dragging very long, and under the leadership of two crew members, they ran over from a distance.

Chen Ping'an stopped and looked at the reporter who was getting closer and closer suspiciously: How did these guys get here? What's going on again?

Half a minute later, he was surrounded by panting journalists. Before those reporters could calm down, they threw out the issues they were most concerned about one after another.

"Mr. Chen, this Academy Awards, your company ......" (to be continued......) R752
