Chapter 135: Handsome Monk
Chen Qiming said hello to Wang Zuxian, then chatted with Maggie Cheung for a few more words, and then walked into the changing room.
"We have prepared two costumes for the role of Fahai, which are red and white monk's robes, you can try the white one first!"
There was a costume chef in the changing room, and under his guidance, Chen Qiming changed into the white monk's robe.
"It was perfect! This outfit is made for you......"
When Chen Qiming came out of the changing room, the costumer suddenly surrounded him with a surprised face.
Chen Qiming looked in the mirror and couldn't help but be a little amazed when he saw himself in the realm.
Dressed in white with snow and hanging Buddha beads, Chen Qiming himself has a feeling of being born with a Buddha seed.
Of course, the most important thing is handsome!
It's just that......
Chen Qiming touched his head again, and his hair was indeed the only flaw.
"Is there a hairstylist? Shave my head for me! ”
Chen Qiming didn't go out to ask Tsui Hark to confirm it, and directly asked the stylist to come over and shave his head.
If he wasn't too keen on playing this role before, then after seeing his outfit, he felt that no matter whether the film was rotten or not in the end, this image alone had enough reasons to make himself a role.
The stylist soon ran over and began to shave Chen Qiming's head.
Shaving his head doesn't take as much time as styling, and in just a few minutes, the hairstylist shaved Chen Qiming's hair.
After the hairstylist finished, Chen Qiming looked in the mirror again.
What a dusty little monk.
With this image, if Li Bihua is still picky, Chen Qiming can't imagine what kind of existence she wants to play.
After tidying up a little, Chen Qiming walked out of the fitting room directly and came outside.
At this time, Tsui Hark and others are still waiting for his styling here.
"Director Xu, if the shape is not suitable, let's find another actor!
You and I both know the importance of Fahai's role, if ......"
Li Bihua was talking when she suddenly stopped, staring closely at the location of the fitting room.
Seeing her appearance, the others couldn't help but look over there.
At this sight, everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
Tsui Hark smiled.
Li Bihua was dumbfounded.
Maggie Cheung and Wang Zuxian looked amazing.
Especially Wang Zuxian, she ran directly in front of Chen Qiming, who had just come out, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Chen Qiming's bald head, "Ah Ming, this look is so handsome!" ”
"What? Isn't it a heart-warming feeling? If so, you can just let me know! ”
Chen Qiming stretched out his hand to block the hand she touched on his head, and teased with a smile.
"Cut!" Wang Zuxian pursed his lips, "Who is rare!" ”
"Director Xu, how is it?"
Chen Qiming did not continue to play tricks with Wang Zuxian, but looked at Tsui Hark.
"It was perfect! I didn't expect you to look ruffian, but when you put on a monk's robe, you are so righteous and awe-inspiring. ”
Tsui Hark smiled, and as he spoke, he glanced at Maggie Cheung again and said, "This is the green snake and Fahai in my mind!" ”
Then, he looked at Li Bihua, "Sister Bihua, what do you think?" ”
Hearing this, Li Bihua was silent for a while, "Very good, there is a little evil in justice, which is completely in line with Fahai's image." ”
Seeing that Li Bihua didn't pick any more thorns, the smile on Tsui Hark's face became even more.
He smiled and clapped his hands, "Since it's almost confirmed, let's say there's still time to take the makeup photos!"
When the time comes, it will be put on the media, which can be regarded as a warm-up for our movie. ”
After a pause, he said again: "As for Xu Xian, I invited Wu Xingguo to play this role, he is still in the crew of "Seducting the Monk", and he should not arrive tomorrow, and his makeup will not be filmed first."
After he came over, let's directly hold a start-up ceremony to start filming! ”
"Wu Xingguo?"
Next to him, Chen Qiming was stunned after hearing the name.
"You know?" Tsui Hark saw Chen Qiming's abnormality and asked.
"Well, I collaborated with someone on a script before, and the script was taken by Director He Ping of Baodao and bought it.
The male protagonist at the time of the filming of this movie was Wu Xingguo. ”
Wu Xingguo is a very famous Peking Opera actor in Baodao.
The Peking Opera "The Legend of the White Snake" starring him is very famous in Baodao.
And he also has some connections with Chen Qiming.
"Eighteen", which was told by Chen Qiming and written by Zeng Baoyi, started filming in June.
The male protagonist of this play, He Ping chose Wu Xingguo.
Because Chen Qiming was very popular at the time, and he was one of the creators of this script.
Therefore, when He Ping was filming, he also sent an invitation to Chen Qiming, hoping that he could star in this movie.
Because the story of the movie is very critical and the character design is not very good, Chen Qiming did not agree.
In the end, He Ping found Wu Xingguo to star.
At that time, Wu Xingguo also personally came to find Chen Qiming, a screenwriter and author, to ask for some characteristics of the characters.
"That's better, you are all from Baodao, and you still know each other, so it should be much easier to shoot!"
Tsui Hark laughed.
In the movie, acquaintances shoot with acquaintances, and the effect will definitely be much better than that of strangers.
This can be seen from the fact that many directors like to use the same actor.
Because of the familiarity, it will be much faster whether it is cooperation or shooting progress.
Next, Chen Qiming and his entourage began to take makeup photos.
As the titular male protagonist of this movie, plus he is a king-level singer in the Chinese music scene.
Chen Qiming naturally has to take on the main publicity of this play.
Therefore, when taking makeup photos, Chen Qiming took a total of more than ten sets of photos.
Various poses, different outfits, and the same frame between the two heroines.
In the following days, the crew will release these makeup photos one after another for publicity and attract attention.
I was shooting until about 6 p.m., and today's work was finally completed.
Chen Qiming changed his costume and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Maggie Cheung actually took the initiative to find him.
Maggie Cheung stayed on his handsome face for a moment, and then smiled: "I have a lot of scenes with you in the film, and even some intimate scenes.
I think we should get acquainted with each other.
So, if you have time, I'd like to treat you to a meal and talk about the script together. ”
Hearing this, Chen Qiming hesitated.
He originally planned to talk to Er Dongsheng about "New Love" tonight.
The heroine of this drama has not been confirmed so far.
Chen Qiming wanted to talk to him, and if it was suitable, he wanted to recommend Zhu Yin to the crew.
"You don't have time?"
Seeing him hesitating, Maggie Cheung couldn't help but ask.
"What are you talking about?"
At this time, Wang Zuxian came out in a disguised outfit.
"It's okay, get acquainted with Amin!"
Maggie Cheung smiled, and then in Wang Zuxian's strange eyes, she made a gesture of goodbye, and then left here quickly.
"Is there anything going on at night? Let's shop! ”
Seeing Maggie Cheung leave, Wang Zuxian looked at Chen Qiming.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming's eyes suddenly became strange.
What's going on today?
They all want to date themselves!
However, after thinking about it, Chen Qiming did not agree to Wang Zuxian, but still chose to go to Er Dongsheng.
Although getting along with a big man like Er Dongsheng is definitely not as happy as being with Maggie Cheung or Wang Zuxian.
But, after all, this is about Zhu Yin.
In the past two years, Zhu Yin's development has obviously entered a bottleneck.
No way, the company she signed with is TVB.
Although this gave her a lot of TV resources, the movie resources are really pitiful.
If he could, Chen Qiming would still want to get her into the crew of "New Love".
Reluctantly refused Wang Zuxian's invitation, Chen Qiming took Li Xiaowen and drove directly to Er Dongsheng's house.
Don't look at Er Dongsheng's miserable appearance when he was looking for investment before.
But people are not poor.
The house he lives in is in Repulse Bay and is a villa.
This is also the reason why he said that if he can't find an investment, he will find a way to sell the house and do it himself.
When Chen Qiming arrived at Erdong's house, his brother Qin Pei was also there.
The Hong Kong entertainment industry is like this, many people's relatives do it.
The eldest father takes the son, the elder brother takes the younger brother, and the younger brother takes the son.
Thus began to spawn one group after another.
This is the case with Er Dongsheng.
His father was a famous film and television producer in Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies.
He also had two older brothers who were famous in the sixties and seventies.
One is the former Shaw Brothers little ginger David, the one who acted in "New One-Armed Knife" with Dillon.
In the seventies, he and Dillon were the most popular actors in Shaw Brothers.
Well, he is also one of the reasons why Gu Long refused to write a script for Jackie Chan.
"My script is written for handsome guys like Jiang David and Dillon, as for you, ......"
And Qin Pei, although his development in Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies was not very smooth, he was very famous in Baodao.
He starred in many Qiong Yao's dramas on Treasure Island and became one of the most popular students in Treasure Island at that time.
And the reason why the surnames of the three brothers are completely different is actually for a reason.
Er Dongsheng is actually half-brother with Jiang David and Qin Pei.
Er Dongsheng's mother used to be an actor, and her first husband was Jiang David and Qin Pei's father.
Later, Jiang David and Qin Pei's father died, and he remarried, and then there was Er Dongsheng.
As for Qin Pei's surname, it is completely different from Jiang David, the reason is that Qin Pei is his stage name.
At that time, he went to Baodao with Li Hanxiang to develop.
Li Hanxiang felt that his original name was not good, so he gave him the name Qin Pei.
"We were talking about you! You've come just in time! ”
As soon as Chen Qiming entered the house, Er Dongsheng opened his mouth with a smile on his face.
"What's the good thing?" Chen Qiming asked with a smile.
"Yes, I found the heroine, Anita Yuen, the one who competes with you for the best newcomer this year.
I watched her "Yafei and Yaki" and she did really well in it! ”
Er Dongsheng smiled and turned on the TV, which was playing the video of "Yafei and Yaji".
This movie is directed by Ke Shouliang, the first person in Treasure Island Speed, starring Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung.
Anita Yuen plays a lily who doesn't love men and only loves women as a newcomer.
A ridiculous story unfolds between the three of them.
Glancing at Yuan Yuyi on TV, Chen Qiming was a little regretful.
He also wanted to recommend Zhu Yin.
Now it seems that it is a little difficult.
Still, he said something recommended.
"Actually, I also found a good hostess candidate, so I came to you!"
Chen Qiming said with a smile.
Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Er Dongsheng couldn't help frowning,
"Amin, we have an agreement, you can't meddle in the crew's affairs.
You should know that the most taboo thing about movies is that the producer interferes indiscriminately......"
"I know, I'm not asking you to use her, I'm just recommending her as a producer and star.
As for whether she can get past you in the end, no matter what you do, I don't have an idea. ”
Chen Qiming interrupted him and spoke.
Er Dongsheng attaches great importance to his "New Love".
Therefore, after accepting Chen Qiming's investment, he had an agreement with Chen Qiming, that is, Chen Qiming could not interfere in the filming of the crew.
Because I know that every director has his own guiding ideas, and according to the situation in the dream, the reason why this movie is successful, in addition to the touching story, Er Dongsheng's close-to-reality shooting technique is also one of the reasons for its success.
Therefore, Chen Qiming agreed to this request at that time.
Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Er Dongsheng's face looked a lot better, and he asked, "Who are you recommending?" ”
"Zhu Yin!" Chen Qiming said.
Hearing this name, Er Dongsheng glanced at Chen Qiming thoughtfully.
"I remember you guys worked together on Truant Gaiden, right?"
"Yes! Last year's collaboration! Chen Qiming nodded.
Er Dongsheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Ah Ming, I think, you shouldn't want this film to lose money!" ”
"Of course, four million Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount of money!" Chen Qiming nodded.
He certainly didn't want the film to flutter.
"Since this is the case, then I think Yuan Yuyi is suitable, and Zhu Yin's appearance is actually very suitable.
But first of all, her salary is higher than that of Yuan Yuyi.
In addition, in terms of acting skills, I am personally more optimistic about Yuan Yuyi. ”
Er Dongsheng said solemnly to Chen Qiming.
“OK! Since you say so, then Yuan Yuyi! I'm okay with that! ”
Chen Qiming thought about the plot about the heroine Amin in the script.
Then he checked Zhu Yin again.
There are indeed some gaps between the two.
Considering that this movie itself is niche, and Chen Qiming knows that the original heroine of this movie is Yuan Yuyi.
So, in the end, he chose to agree.
"Second female, if we can, we can invite her to play the second female!"
At this time, Er Dongsheng said again.
"No, go as you originally planned! I remember that the second female has invited Carina Lau, and she has already agreed, and now changing the actor will not have a good impact on the crew! ”
Chen Qiming shook his head and rejected his proposal.
If Er Dongsheng hadn't confirmed that Carina Lau would play this role, Chen Qiming would definitely agree.
But Carina Lau has now agreed and confirmed her appearance, and it would be too offensive to replace her at this time.
Moreover, Chen Qiming and Tony Leung also know each other, so changing his girlfriend seems too inauthentic.
"Actually, I think it doesn't matter if you can appear in this movie or not, with Mr. Chen's current popularity, if you want to help her get a few roles, it will be really simple."
At this time, Qin Pei, who had not spoken, finally spoke.
Obviously, he saw through the relationship between Chen Qiming and Zhu Yin......
