Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Look, Andy agreed."

Looking at Chen Ping, Wang Jing looked very happy.

As expected, once he takes action against the boss, who can disagree?

"Director Wang, you are so powerful."

Chen Ping secretly smacked his tongue: "I'm thinking, if you want me to make a film in the future, will you do this again?"

"I wouldn't dare."

"You don't dare to turn around and ask Boss Xiang to take action."

Wang Jing shook his head: "You are too worried. You are not just in Xiangjiang. You are already a benchmark in the mainland. Even if the boss wants to embarrass you, you have to look at the attitude of the mainland."

Boss Xiang is indeed very energetic in Xiangjiang.

But no matter how strong it is, it cannot be stronger than the mainland.

Although Chen Ping seems to have no background or connections.

But he can be crowned the King of Heaven. This is his greatest background and his greatest connections.

Do you know if there is any big shot behind Chen Ping who is paying attention?

This also makes Chen Ping admire Wang Jing's judgment of the general trend.

No wonder this guy has been in Hong Kong for decades and is still a top director.

No matter how many bad movies he makes, so what.

Just relying on his judgment of the general trend, he is enjoying the food in the entire entertainment industry.

"Okay, since Hua Tsai has agreed, I will go back to Xiangjiang first. By the way, King Chen, when will you come?"

"Director Wang, I will come whenever you ask me to."

"I don't have such a big face."

"Don't worry, Liu Tianwang just spoke to me. I'll handle the company's side of things, and then I'll go to Xiangjiang to find you."

"OK, I'll wait for you."

After everything was done, Wang Jing left Xingguang Film and Television with a smile as bright as a flower and a breeze as he walked.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Qiu has a collaborator that I want to talk to you about."

After Wang Jing left, Xia Tao came in at this moment.

"Mr. Qiu?"

Chen Ping was stunned: "Qiu Huairou?"

"Um."

"Mr. Qiu is looking for me?"

This surprised Chen Ping.

To know.

Although Sheng Teng has shares in Xingguang, Xingguang is independent and has little to do with Sheng Teng.

Why would Qiu Huairou still look for her?

But they are all old acquaintances.

And Sheng Teng can be regarded as Chen Ping's natal family.

Although he didn't know what Qiu Huairou wanted from him, Chen Ping did not refuse.

Not only did he not refuse, Chen Ping went directly to Shengteng.

When she saw Chen Ping coming in person, Qiu Huairou seemed a little unbelievable: "Chen Tianwang, I didn't expect that you would come to us in person?"

"Mr. Qiu, Sheng Teng is my natal family, and coming here is just like going home."

This remark made Qiu Huairou feel even more cordial, and said: "The King of Heaven is indeed the King of Heaven, and even his words are countless times sweeter than before. Come, drink tea."

"Thank you."

"How's it going? How does it feel to be a king?"

"Mr. Qiu, you're teasing me again."

"It's not a joke, I'm just jealous before it's too late."

Qiu Huairou said with some envy: "I can't believe it. I thought it would never be possible for a king to appear again. Unexpectedly, 30 years later, another king would appear. Moreover, he was still an actor from our Sheng Teng. It's really good."

"Mr. Qiu, I'm really not used to calling you the King of Heaven. You don't know that director Wang Jing came to my office just now and said he wanted to make a movie with me."

"This is a good thing, what?"

"He also said that he would cooperate with Liu Tianwang."

"You still don't want to agree?"

"No, of course I agreed, but Wang Jing said that I would play the first male role and Liu Tianwang would play the second male role."

"ah……"

Qiu Huairou couldn't believe it: "King Liu Tian agreed?"

"accepted."

"Can you agree to this?"

Qiu Huairou felt incredible. But soon, Qiu Huairou understood: "The production company is Yongsheng?"

"Mr. Qiu is awesome."

Chen Ping gave a thumbs up: "He is indeed a boss, I guessed it right away."

But then he said helplessly: "So, although King Liu Tian agreed, I also offended King Liu Tian."

"clear."

"So, when I talk about the King of Heaven now, I get a headache."

"This is normal, after all, it is not so easy to be a king. However, take your time... When everyone gradually gets used to your existence, even the four kings will get used to you. By then, everyone will not Instead of calling the Four Heavenly Kings, I will call the Five Heavenly Kings instead.”

"I hope that one day too."

Chen Ping is also looking forward to it.

"By the way, just tell me, Mr. Qiu, what are you talking about about cooperation this time?"

"Look at my memory, I only talk about it. I have a drama that I want you to act in?"

"What show?"

"TV drama."

"TV drama?"

Chen Ping was a little strange.

However, Chen Ping still took over the script: "OK."

"You accepted it without asking any questions? Besides, given your current rank, it's probably not an ordinary TV series, so why don't you accept it?"

Seeing that Chen Ping agreed so readily, Qiu Huairou was a little surprised.

However, Chen Ping said: "Although I won't accept ordinary TV series now, as long as there are good TV series, I will still accept them."

This was Chen Ping's plan before.

Although the specifications of TV series are not as good as those of movies, their coverage of people is often beyond the reach of movies.

Especially for those from low-income families.

Just like Dae Jang Geum.

If Dae Jang Geum is made into a movie, many people may not be able to see it.

But it was made into a TV series.

This suddenly caused a sensation throughout Asia.

Many people can watch it in various ways.

Making films that more people like is also one of Chen Ping's pursuits in acting.

"Also, Mr. Qiu, you personally asked me to cooperate. I believe this drama will definitely be good."

certainly.

There is another level that Chen Ping did not mention.

Regardless of whether the script is bad or not, Chen Ping will still take it.

This is mainly because the love is still strong.

Although from the perspective of business interests, Chen Ping and Sheng Teng have nothing to do with each other.

But in the past three years, Sheng Teng has been pretty good to Chen Ping.

It would be impossible for him to reach this point from an extra actor without Sheng Teng.

Although this is also the reason why Chen Ping works hard and cheats from time to time.

But if another brokerage company randomly throws obstacles in your way, it would not be that easy for Chen Ping to become the king.

only.

Although Chen Ping didn't say the third meaning.

But Qiu Huairou saw it and said, "Chen Ping, that's interesting."

"Of course, if you are the king, we cannot let you act in a bad drama. I have read the script. It is very innovative and international. In terms of investment specifications, it is also a Zhonghan co-production. However, with The Dae Jang Geum you filmed before was different. In the past Dae Jang Geum was directed by Han Guk, and you just starred. But this time, we are investing and leading. You will be the male lead. In addition, the female lead will be hired. Actress from the cold country."

Chen Ping nodded.

Dae Jang Geum's success has definitely stimulated the mainland entertainment industry.

With Chen Ping, the traffic king, Sheng Teng naturally wants to create another hit product.

Immediately, Chen Ping opened the script.

"My Love from the Star".

Just by looking at the name, Chen Ping knew that this script was awesome.

Take the past life as an example.

Among the film and television dramas based on Eastern culture that can be promoted internationally, one is Dae Jang Geum and the other is "My Love from the Star".

but.

When Chen Ping looked at the script carefully, Chen Ping found that this script seemed to be different from his previous life.

The background of the story "My Past Life from the Star" is in the Cold Country.

As for this version of My Love from the Star, the story takes place in China.

also.

The male protagonist is naturally Chinese.

but.

Although there are some changes, the plot is basically the same, except that the background has been changed.

But Chen Ping liked this change even more.

After all, Dae Jang Geum was previously played.

Although Chen Ping plays a Ming Dynasty envoy on a mission to the dangerous dynasty, this is still a Korean drama.

but now.

This drama is already a mainland drama through and through.

Seeing Chen Ping reading the script, Qiu Huairou also explained: "Originally, this script was in the hands of KBS, a Korean TV station. At that time, their idea was to invite you to star again. However, later we made a huge sum of money. I purchased the script and then found a screenwriter to make appropriate modifications to the script."

"So that's it."

This makes sense.

"When will the filming start... However, it may not be possible recently. I just agreed to Director Wang, and I may go to Xiangjiang to shoot a movie soon."

"Then wait until you finish shooting the film in Xiangjiang."

"Okay."

After saying that, Qiu Huairou stood up and said, "We'll have a quick lunch at Shengteng later."

"Okay, I haven't eaten at Shengteng for a long time."

"Are you so willing to agree?"

"I think the food at Shengteng is good, much better than those in big restaurants."

"Hahaha, then you have to be prepared. Your junior brothers and sisters will scream when they see you..."

…

"Xiao Wang, I listened to you and gave Hua Zai a call."

"Boss Xiang, I know that as soon as you make a move, no one dares to agree."

"Don't flatter me, times are different now. Although I am a bit thin-faced, it is not good if I do this too many times. Besides, the power behind King Liu Tianwang is not small. By the way, what you and Chen Ping were talking about How about it?"

As soon as he returned to Xiangjiang, Wang Jing went to Boss Xiang's home.

"Chen Ping agreed."

"Um."

Boss Xiang was not surprised that Chen Ping agreed.

After all, he is the number one male.

And since it was Wong Jing’s film, there weren’t many reasons not to agree.

However, although Boss Xiang is very powerful, he did not enter the entertainment industry just for fun.

If you want to open a movie company, you also want to make money.

Moreover, it is still legal to make money.

But although Chen Ping agreed, Boss Xiang was a little uneasy: "Xiao Wang, do you think Chen Ping can hold on to the role of the God of Gamblers?"

"I think it's okay."

"What I mean is whether I can cover King Liu Tian."

Seeing Boss Xiang still felt uneasy, Wang Jing said: "Boss Xiang, maybe you don't know yet. Chen Ping had a scene opposite Liu Tianwang before."

"I know, Infernal Affairs."

"Yes, this film has not been broadcast yet. But, one day I went to their set. Chen Ping's acting skills completely surpassed Liu Tianwang. And, not only that. At that time, Chen Ping won the role of Chen Yongren in Infernal Affairs , and also eliminated Liang Chaowei from the competition. You know, Chen Ping's popularity at that time was not at all what it is now."

"In addition, there is another drama behind Chen Ping, which is Xu Laoguai's A Chinese Ghost Story. This drama has not been aired yet, and I guest-starred in the drama for one day. Chen Ping plays the male number one Ning in the drama. Caichen, tut tut..."

"What are you tutting?"

"I think if these two dramas are broadcast, no one will dare to question Chen Ping's reputation as the king."

"It seems you have great confidence in Chen Ping?"

Xiang Boss said: "At that time, I thought you were interested in Chen Ping's popularity."

"Boss Xiang, I'm very professional, okay?"

"Tch...you've always been messy when filming. How could I know if you were professional or not?"

"I……"

Wang Jing vomited some blood.

But it's true.

Although all the directors in Xiangjiang are very weird.

Like Mr. Xu, he loves to change scripts the most.

As for Wang Jing, the same is true.

certainly.

Wong Jing not only likes to change scripts, he also likes to shoot randomly.

Sometimes I just shoot whatever comes to my mind.

Also, Wang Jing's films often do not follow logic, he just follows his own ideas.

So a lot of the time.

Once there is something magical about the film, then Wong Jing's film will be a drama.

But once you don’t feel anything about it, you’ll feel like it’s complete bullshit after it’s filmed.

However, Wang Jing repeatedly promised: "Boss Xiang, I am very confident in this drama. Otherwise, I would not dare to let you invite Liu Tianwang like this."

"I'm just kidding you. If I didn't believe you, why would I ask you to be a director? When will Chen Ping come to Xiangjiang?"

"Probably a few more days."

"OK."

…

A week later, Chen Ping went to Xiangjiang.

Moreover, he met Liu Tianwang and Wang Jing.

The location was arranged by Wang Jing, at a leisure club.

As soon as he saw Liu Dehua, Chen Ping took the initiative to say hello: "Brother Hua."

Liu Dehua glanced at Chen Ping: "Chen Tianwang, I can't afford to be called a brother."

"Brother Hua, if you say that, then I can only call you Uncle Hua."

"Uh... let's call him brother."

Seeing Chen Ping, Liu Dehua had complicated thoughts.

He was a little unhappy with Chen Ping.

But I don’t know what’s wrong with it.

In fact.

Chen Ping has never offended him.

Not only was he not offended, Chen Ping has always respected Liu Dehua.

Even when I was filming Infernal Affairs.

at the same time.

Liu Dehua also admires Chen Ping very much.

But this is what Andy Lau is struggling with.

On the one hand, he admires Chen Ping, but on the other hand, he knows that Chen Ping is his competitor.

Even your biggest competitors.

"Hua Zai, what are you thinking about? Come on, let's play cards first."

"play cards?"

Chen Ping was a little surprised: "What's so strange about this? What we filmed is the God of Gamblers. Since it's gambling, let's get familiar with it first and get a feel for it."

"Director Wang, do you usually like playing cards?"

"No."

Wang Jing shook his head: "I don't like it, I even hate it. My mother loved playing cards back then and lost the family fortune twice."

"Then you still make gambling films?"

"If I don't like playing cards, can't I make a gambling movie? For filming, as long as you like to do something that makes money, it's fine."

Wang Jing said while shuffling the cards.

"Hua Zai, Chen Ping, come on."

"You won't come?"

Liu Dehua asked.

"I watched you guys fight, and I also wanted to get the feeling of filming."

After saying that, Wang Jing sat aside.

Chen Ping and Liu Dehua looked at each other and said, "Okay, Chen Ping, let's do it."
