Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Let's invite Chen Ping."

Applause resounded throughout the audience.

at this moment.

Chen Ping, who was already attracting everyone's attention, now became like a star.

"Chen Ping, go up."

"Chen Ping, the new best actor, congratulations."

"Chen Ping..."

Next to him, Zhou Xingchi, Fa Ge, and Liu Dehua... congratulated Chen Ping.

Chen Ping stood up and came to the award podium.

Taking over the trophy belonging to the best actor from Chen Long, at this moment... Chen Ping was also a little excited.

Although he had been much calmer about the Academy Awards before.

But now that he actually received this award, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel extremely emotional.

Chen Long next to him said enviously: "Chen Ping, maybe you don't know, I have been acting for decades, but I have never won the Academy Award for Best Actor."

This sentence made the audience laugh.

really.

Although Chen Long's fame has spread all over the world, he has never won the best actor.

"Not to mention your five nominations."

"I can't wait to steal this trophy from you now."

certainly.

This is a joke.

Although Chen Long has not won the Best Actor trophy at the Hong Kong Film Awards, his contribution to Hong Kong movies is really not comparable to that of many.

Even now.

At most, only Chen Ping can compete with Chen Long.

"Okay, I won't say much more. The stage now belongs to you, congratulations."

"Congratulations."

Chen Long and Michelle Yeoh congratulated Chen Ping and then left the stage.

Holding the Best Actor trophy, Chen Ping raised it high and said: "If the time went back four years ago, I never thought that I would win the Hong Kong Film Awards, let alone that I could be nominated five times. Along the way, there are so many things I want to thank. There are friends who worked together in Hengcheng, the agencies I signed with, the directors and actors I collaborated with. Of course, there are also many seniors... Here, I would like to respond to a previous rumor about me."

"Some people say that after Swordsman, it may be the last movie I make in Hong Kong."

This rumor.

Chen Ping had not responded much before.

Because that was indeed what Chen Ping was thinking at the time.

The market in Xiangjiang is still too small. He has already reached the top in Xiangjiang. Basically, it is unlikely that he will stay in Xiangjiang.

only.

After Swordsman opened, I felt the support of Hong Kong movie fans and the people of Hong Kong.

Chen Ping suddenly became nostalgic for Xiangjiang.

Until now.

Chen Ping also figured it out.

"I am now formally responding to this matter."

At this moment.

Countless people's eyes once again focused on Chen Ping.

Although they had heard this rumor before.

Many people in the industry even want to ask questions personally.

But ultimately, they didn't.

This also made Chen Ping feel their goodwill.

"What I want to say is that maybe I won't have much time to go back to Hong Kong to film in the future. But Swordsman is definitely not my last film in Hong Kong."

Chen Ping said firmly.

With this sentence, the whole audience suddenly stood up.

"good."

"Chen Ping, I know you are loyal enough."

"Chen Ping, although I don't know when your next movie will be, I can guarantee that as long as you are willing to make a movie in Hong Kong, even if it turns out to be shit, I will be willing to enter the cinema..."

certainly.

It's not just these audiences.

There are also countless friends in the industry.

The actors, directors, agencies, film and television companies who collaborated with Chen Ping... and major theater chains.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they received Chen Ping's confirmed answer.

"I think Hong Kong's box office will be guaranteed in the future."

"Well, with him here, Xiangjiang Film can see hope."

"Oh, I'm worried. Isn't this something we will never be able to surpass in our lifetime?"

"Hahaha, do you think you can surpass Chen Ping if he doesn't film in Hong Kong?"

"Uh...too."

Anyway.

When Chen Ping made such a guarantee, there was a sensation throughout Hong Kong.

even.

The Hong Kong Film Awards presentations had ended that day, but countless citizens ran out of their homes.

They celebrated in the streets.

They set off firecrackers.

They shouted loudly.

"Chen Ping, we will always support you."

"Chen Ping, I look forward to your next movie."

"Chen Ping...YYDS, we are waiting for you..."

…

After returning from Xiangjiang, Chen Ping rested in Hengcheng for a few days.

Rest is not what Chen Ping really wants to rest.

The main reason is that after Chen Ping was nominated five times and won the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, his popularity has become so popular.

No matter where he went, Chen Ping was surrounded by a lot of people.

There is no other way.

Chen Ping can only rest for a few days and wait for his popularity to cool down a bit.

A week later, Chen Ping made an appointment with director Gao Xixi in Hengcheng.

Yes.

Gao Xixi called Chen Ping last time and said she wanted to make a historical blockbuster.

Chen Ping also likes this director very much.

Back then, Chen Ping collaborated with Gao Xixi to make a Chu-Han legend.

and.

Chen Ping played Han Xin in it, and he became famous for a while.

"Director Gao, here you are."

"Actor Chen, you are not easy to find."

"Director Gao, are you teasing me again?"

"What do you mean by teasing you? You are not the best actor. You are the real best actor. Not only the best actor, but also the five-star best actor. You have created the history of Hong Kong. Do you want me to yell here and say that the five-star best actor Chen Ping is here? , look at how many people are coming.”

"No, no, no, Director Gao, now that you're calling people over, do you still want me to film you?"

"Hahaha...you kid."

In a teahouse in Hengcheng, Chen Ping met Gao Xixi.

but.

Seeing Chen Ping arriving, Gao Xixi couldn't believe it and said, "Are you really willing to make a TV series?"

"Director Gao, what are you talking about, why can't I film the TV series?"

"It's possible, but compared to movies, TV series are far behind. Besides, you don't even make many movies in Xiangjiang anymore. Haven't you always specialized in Hollywood?"

"Hollywood is not easy to live in, so I have to come back and film TV series to make money to support my family."

"Stop it."

Gao Xixi rolled her eyes at Chen Ping: "How long have you been in Hollywood, and besides, you are quite successful in Hollywood. Look, the hero you played, the Lord of the Rings you played. There will be a few more movies of yours in the future, I think. Well, some of your movies will be released in the future, so you will have to be popular again."

"It's not that easy to be popular in Hollywood. You see, when I cooperated with CAA, I said I wanted to play the second male lead, but they didn't give me much recommendation."

"Take your time, I believe you can definitely dominate Hollywood."

"Dominating Hollywood... I want to do that too. Director Gao, let's talk about your blockbusters. I think your film this time is definitely extraordinary."

Previously, Gao Xixi only contacted Chen Ping and said that she wanted to make a historical blockbuster.

But Gao Xixi did not say what kind of historical blockbuster it was.

but.

Gao Xixi didn't say anything, but Chen Ping had some guesses.

so.

Chen Ping is also looking forward to this film.

"Hey, how do you know my film is extraordinary?"

"Otherwise, you have the nerve to invite me."

Chen Ping smiled and said: "What should I say? I am also a movie star. Do you have the nerve to talk about ordinary movies?"

"Hahaha."

When Chen Ping said this, Gao Xixi laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, you are a great actor. I really don't dare to invite you to an ordinary movie. This time, I did accept a blockbuster, and it is also a super blockbuster."

"New Three Kingdoms."

Chen Ping said.

"Idiot, how do you know?"

Seeing Chen Ping say the name of the New Three Kingdoms, Gao Xixi was stunned: "Damn, which guy leaked the news?"

"Do you want to reveal it? The New Three Kingdoms were planning it last year. With such a huge momentum, how could I not know about it?"

"Then how do you know that I am planning the New Three Kingdoms?"

"In a historical blockbuster, besides you, who else would dare to take it?"

"Hey, don't say that. I was really under a lot of pressure when I received this film."

Seeing Chen Ping's incomparable praise for her, Gao Xixi also felt a little embarrassed: "This is a masterpiece. If it is not photographed well, it will be scolded by countless people."

"It's normal to be scolded. Any remake of a famous work will be scolded."

Chen Ping is more open-minded.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not so easy to film.

The 1994 version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is simply a masterpiece in the minds of countless people.

No matter how good the remake is, it will still be criticized.

but.

You can't stop filming just because you're afraid of being scolded.

After all, it has been decades since the 1994 version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

At that time, whether it was the shooting techniques, the film lenses, or the clarity... they were already somewhat behind the times.

This is from a rigid condition.

From the perspective of soft power.

There are many young people now who have not actually watched The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

If the Three Kingdoms is remade, it will still be very attractive in terms of the market.

Both the superiors and the market need a brand new Three Kingdoms.

so.

This film about the New Three Kingdoms fell into the hands of Gao Xixi.

"So, I am also prepared to be scolded. However, in order not to be scolded, I also invited you in. But... in terms of film financing, I can only say that I will give you the highest ranking in the crew, but I can't. Your market price in Xiangjiang."

Although the investment in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very large.

But no matter how big it is.

Facing the superstar Chen Ping, his film schedule is also extremely terrifying.

"You have the final say on the piece of chips."

Chen Ping doesn't have much idea about the production of the drama "New Three Kingdoms".

In fact, when it comes to domestic films, he has never wanted actors to be overpriced.

If the actor's film budget is too high, it will obviously restrict the shooting quality of the entire film.

Just like in the previous life, some little fresh meat accounted for half of the entire movie investment, so I really don't know how to make it.

If you want to have high stakes.

Chen Ping felt that the best way was to go directly to Hollywood.

Only in the Hollywood market can there be coveted films.

If you can become an A-lister, or even a super-A-lister... you will be successful in Hollywood.

Let alone 100 million yuan.

A film worth 1 billion yuan is not a problem.

"By the way, Director Xixi, after talking so much, you still haven't said which role you want me to audition for."

"Do you still want to audition?"

Gao Xixi said: "Who dares to audition you now?"

"Then you have to tell me which role I will play."

"This..."

Speaking of which.

Gao Xixi took out a character list from The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "You can choose any of the characters here."

Chen Ping took the character sheet and nodded constantly while reading it.

"All of these characters are very attractive."

"Yes, that's the charm of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It only has a history of a hundred years, but it has produced countless celebrities."

"How about I play Zhuge Liang?"

Chen Ping said: "I like Zhuge Liang's IQ."

But then, Chen Ping said: "Actually, Zhou Yu is also quite good. Restore the real Zhou Yu. He was not angry to death by Zhuge Liang."

"Hey, I think Sun Quan is good. He should be like Sun Zhongmou in having children... I like him."

"Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, can do it too."

"Also, let's take a look at Wei Guoji. I think Sima can do it."

"I like Guo Jia too."

"How about I play Lu Bu... Lu Bu is among men, and the red rabbit is among horses."

"Actually, I'm also quite interested in the big-eared thief Liu Bei."

"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong..."

One breath.

Chen Ping talked about dozens of his favorite characters.

This made Gao Xixi on the side vomit blood, and then said: "I think you should play Zhang Fei from Yan."

"You are the eunuch."

Chen Ping heard something in Gao Xixi's words.

"Okay, which role do you want me to play?"

It was all a joke.

Although there are hundreds of characters in New Three Kingdoms with names and extremely exciting plots.

But no matter how exciting these roles are, it is impossible for Chen Ping to play them alone.

"Cao..."

Pointing to the character who was ranked first in the role list, Gao Xixi said: "Of course I want you to play the most stylish, free and easy, shameless, obscene, controversial, and bottomless character... Cao A hid it."

"It turned out that I was asked to act, I...fuck it."

Chen Ping understood.

I have just mentioned so many characters, but Chen Ping’s favorite is actually Cao Cao.

Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is biased toward Liu Bei.

But speaking of which role, Chen Ping doesn't like playing Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is indeed a hero of his generation.

If you keep up with such a lord, your life will be very comfortable.

After all, Liu Bei did a pretty good job in terms of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

From the perspective of treating his subordinates, Liu Bei did the best.

Followed by Sun Quan.

The last is Cao Cao.

But this is only from the perspective of treating subordinates.

The truth takes you back to ancient times, which one will you choose?

There is almost no need to think too much, just choose Cao Cao.

Liu Bei has always been benevolent and moral, which is really too tiring.

Even if there were some things he didn't like, he would always treat them politely.

even.

There were some rebels, but Liu Bei was still very kind to his family members.

As for Sun Quan, this guy is more hypocritical. He has always been worried about being ignored and has always liked power.

It's better to be Cao Cao.

Just do whatever you want, don't look at other people's faces.

Even if you fall in love with someone else's wife, it's still your wife and I will support her.

And both his IQ and EQ are so high that he has almost no rivals.

How can such a character be so cool?

Such a character.

Think about it, if he doesn't succeed, who else will succeed?

only.

Although he said this, Chen Ping touched his chin and said: "Director Xixi, I can play Cao Cao, but look at my appearance? Are you planning to let me play the most handsome Cao Cao in history?"
