Chapter 33: The Prodigal Son Yanqing
Yan Qingyu is brainless. He knew that the other party was in a hurry to fly himself from Jiangdong to Shanghai, definitely not for the purpose of shooting, the focus was on the contract on the table.
At this time, you have to be calm, you can't be led by the other party's nose, Yan Qingyu unexpectedly chose the first way, not to really ask for death, but to sit on the ground and repay the money, and sell herself at a good price.
How could Chen Zikun not be able to guess his little fancy, and immediately said: "It's okay, it's just as you want." ”
With a wave of his hand, the sturdy men on both sides dragged Yan Qingyu directly out of the door, and there were several handsome offspring standing in the corridor, waiting for the interview, all looking at this unlucky guy who was dragged out with puzzlement and pity.
Yan Qingyu immediately regretted it, it seemed that there was more than one candidate for him, but he was still unwilling, and wanted to fight one last time, until he was pressed to the ground, and the sound of a pistol hammer pulling away sounded behind his head, and he shouted for mercy.
"Hero, boss, big brother, don't shoot, I'll sign, I'm willing to sign the contract!"
Yan Qingyu was pulled back again, pressed on the seat in front of Chen Zikun, picked up the thin contract and studied it carefully, flipped through it three times, and said strangely: "No, why didn't the remuneration mentioned?" ”
Chen Zikun sneered: "You still want to be paid as a death row prisoner? Not killing you is the best reward, what, unwillingly? Someone's coming. ”
"Wait, wait, let me think about it again." Yan Qingyu pressed her hand on her forehead, as if she was thinking hard, and after thirty seconds, she finally said: "Okay, I should help my friend, I don't take a penny, where is my name?" ”
Chen Zikun pointed to the blank space at the end of the contract, Yan Qingyu picked up the brush and wrote his name neatly.
Chen Zikun accepted the contract and said, "Someone, unshackle him and take him down to be detained." ”
Yan Qingyu finally untied the shackles, his hands and feet suddenly became much lighter, and a pair of eyes began to dripble everywhere, Chen Zikun was not worried about him running away at all, because it was Yan Jinan who came to take him down.
"Second brother, why are you?" Yan Qingyu was very surprised to see that his cousin was actually wearing a military uniform.
Yan Jinan took his cousin out with a straight face, and whispered: "Brother, I know that you have sharp legs and feet, and no one can catch you, don't run away, if I lose you, I will be shot." ”
Yan Qingyu was deflated, he didn't care about others, this younger brother grew up together, but he was reluctant to be shot, but after a while, his mind turned around, and he whispered: "Second brother, a good man is not a soldier, he is a good iron and does not shoot nails, what can you do if you wear this two-and-a-half-foot body, look at the opportunity to run with my brother, and shoot him, shoot a bird feather." ”
Yan Jinan said: "Brother, why are you running, it's a good thing that people are looking for you, make movies and become a star, besides, Chairman Chen is your brother-in-law." ”
Yan Qingyu pouted: "What star, Lao Tzu doesn't care, if Lao Tzu's face is remembered, he will be a fart in the future...... What did you say! Brother-in-law? ”
"Yes, it's not that you don't know, you're your aunt's child, and there's a sister outside......"
Yan Qingyu was shocked, lowered her head and thought about it for a long time, finally raised her head, and said, "Don't say it's your brother-in-law, even your own mother can't hire a worker and not pay your salary." ”
Having said that, he still lived in a dormitory near the studio, and a large number of young women came to recruit actors every day, Yan Qingyu watched with interest on the balcony all day long, muttering from time to time: "This is three points at most, it can't be more, well, this can be five points...... My day, this is at least eight points! ”
Two days later, Xia Xiaoqing and others arrived in Shanghai by plane, and came to visit their younger brother in a hurry, Yan Qingyu was still scoring on the balcony, "This eldest sister is not bad, she can score seven points, but she is tall...... Hey, isn't that who? ”
Xia Xiaoqing stepped upstairs and looked at Yan Qingyu with tears in her eyes.
Yan Qingyu was actually a little twisted, he didn't have a mother since he was a child, he was raised by his uncle, and he was unrestrained in putting Lang shapes, and now he suddenly has a sister who is a sibling, which is still quite shocking.
Xia Xiaoqing rushed forward.
The onlookers at the scene thought that the sister and brother were going to hug their heads and cry, but they didn't know that Xia Xiaoqing slapped over with a big-eared post, and beat Yan Qingyu to cover her face and scream, which was still angry, and kicked her to the ground fiercely.
"Call you a snitch! So that you are not angry! Tell you to disgrace the Xia family! ”
After the fight, Xia Xiaoqing panted tiredly, slapped his face and threw a roll of paper on the ground: "The opportunity to reform is in front of you, see if you can leave." "Say goodbye and leave.
Yan Qingyu got up from the ground, tore a note from the roll of paper to plug the bleeding nostrils, rubbed the sore area and hissed and inhaled.
Yan Jinan was dumbfounded, and said: "Brother, your sister is really ruthless, forget it, you better run, I will risk my life to help you." ”
Yan Qingyu saw the head-up "Lang Zi Yanqing" on the paper scroll, glanced at it casually, and was immediately attracted.
"Brother, while there is no one now, run quickly, I'll give you a lookout." Yan Jinan looked left and right at the window.
"Who said they were going to run? It's my only chance to mend my ways, you know? You can't hurt my brother. Yan Qingyu looked at the script with relish, with a righteous face.
Yan Jinan was dumbfounded again.
……
Purple Star Pictures' first big drama "Lang Zi Yanqing" finally started filming in Shanghai studio, the actor Yan Qing is played by Chen Zikun's brother-in-law Yan Qingyu, his acting skills are natural, he doesn't need any guidance at all, a blink of an eye and a frown are all plays, and his appearance is even more handsome.
In order to shoot this debut, Chairman Chen made a bloody investment, mobilized 1,000 officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade, changed into costumes and pretended to be the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty, and transferred 500 subordinates who had been bandits on Daqingshan, pretending to be the heroes of Shuibo Liangshan, swords, swords and halberds are all real guys, and the group beatings are also real fights. It is also an astronomical production.
The only regret is that the heroine who plays Li Shishi is not very good and can't show the temperament and essence of a famous prostitute in the Song Dynasty.
Jianbing is a Shanghai Tang girls' school book, this profession is similar to Master Li, which is equivalent to playing himself, no matter what is the difficulty, he is naturally familiar with it, but another problem arises, Song Huizong and Master Li have a passionate play, and it is not appropriate for anyone to play it, only Chairman Chen personally handles the battle.
Three months later, a large-scale costume martial arts movie "Lang Zi Yanqing", which cost a lot of money to shoot locations in Beijing, Shanghai, and Jiangdong, and used 1,500 actors, was finally released in Shanghai theaters.
The premiere was held at the Nanjing Grand Theatre on Aidoya Road, which has 1,500 seats, air conditioning and luxurious decoration, and is the first-class cinema in Shanghai.
Chen Zikun's family, together with Li Yaoting, Mu Yichen, etc., all came to the Nanjing Grand Theater to attend the premiere, and the embarrassing thing is that the 1,500 seats were not filled, and the hundreds of audiences seemed to be Li Yaoting looking for support, and the atmosphere was cold and deserted, and even a few tabloid reporters came.
"Didn't you advertise it on the declaration, how could this be?" Chan was very upset.
"Someone must be making trouble." Li Yaoting snorted coldly.
He guessed right, in order to deal with the newly emerged Purple Star Pictures, other film companies in Shanghai joined forces to squeeze, and the new films of Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu were released at the same time.
The premiere ended hastily, Chen Zikun didn't bother to speak on stage, the lights of the big theater were all turned off, and the movie began to be released.
"Lang Zi Yanqing" has adopted a lot of unprecedented shooting techniques, such as large-scale extras, large-depth exterior scenes, and performances by the actors, giving people a sense of brightness, but the whole screening process was silent, and Chen Zikun thought that the audience was asleep, and when he looked back, a pair of eyes were watching intently.
After the screening, it was still silent, and the audience was still deeply immersed in the historical atmosphere.
Li Yaoting stood up and clapped slowly and forcefully.
Countless spectators stood up, and the applause was thunderous and endless.
The owner of the Nanjing Grand Theater also came to him, saying that he had never seen such a good movie in his life, and begged to sell the screening rights in Shanghai to him.
……
The gold and silver cups are not as good as the audience's reputation, one to ten, ten to hundred, within a few days, the whole Shanghai knows that there is a very good-looking movie "Lang Zi Yanqing" staged at the Nanjing Grand Theater, and other movies are compared with it, that is, scum.
The venue was full, it was hard to find a ticket, and the scalpers who poured tickets at the gate of the big theater made a fortune.
Purple Star Pictures became an instant hit, beating other film companies to become the box office champion.
The film was copied into many copies and sent to Beiping, Tianjin, Nanjing, and Hankou for screening.
A week later, "Lang Zi Yanqing" was released in the capital Nanjing, this time the pomp was completely different, it is said that Mrs. Jiang Meiling will also come to attend the ceremony, the entrance of the cinema is crowded with people, balloons, banners, colorful flags, the atmosphere is quite warm.
A Mercedes sedan drove slowly, the reporters rushed forward, the eyes of the people flashing with magnesium lights were dazzled, the car stopped in front of the red carpet, the little girl opened the door, and Yan Qingyu, the head of Purple Star Pictures, got out of the car, with shiny leather shoes, straight trousers, an ironed and considerate thin Verding double-breasted suit, a purple tie, hair combed from the middle, and the oily flies couldn't stand.
There was a sudden scream, and a large number of girls broke through the security guard's blockade with the poster of Lang Zi Yanqing, crying and shouting.
Yan Qingyu smiled and took out a Parker gold pen, and helped the girls sign autographs one by one, and the girls who got the idol's signatures all cried excitedly.
