Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"you……"

Obviously, the assistant director also saw that Chen Ping was ridiculing him.

This is the first time in all his years as a director that he has seen such an arrogant actor.

certainly.

If Chen Ping were a superstar, that would be fine.

But the Chen Ping in front of him was unknown to him.

Just as he was about to get angry, the assistant director saw Chen Ping staring at Ye Weixin without even looking at him.

It seems that this is saying silently that you have no decision-making power.

Yes.

As an assistant director, he really didn't.

But Ye Weixin was very interested in Chen Ping.

"Your acting skills are very good."

"Director Ye deserves the award."

"OK, report to the crew tomorrow."

"Thank you, Director Ye."

Without looking at the assistant director again, Chen Ping left the Sha Po Lang crew.

In fact.

Chen Ping was not completely stupid for daring to ridicule the assistant director like this.

As soon as he entered the director's office, Chen Ping knew that the only one who could make the decision was Ye Weixin.

As for the assistant director next to him, he was just there to take a look.

And when Chen Ping showed off his acting skills, Chen Ping also saw recognition in Ye Weixin's eyes.

"Director Ye, is this your decision?"

"It's not like you didn't see it just now. His acting skills are very good."

"The acting skills are indeed good, but the character is not."

"Situ, forget it, what you just said was indeed too offensive."

"How am I considered an attacker? Which director in Hong Kong doesn't have a temper like mine?"

"Okay, we have to film tomorrow."

…

"Chen Ping, how are you?"

"Mr. Wang, everything is OK."

"As expected, I saw you right. You must be tired. Get some rest."

Wang Jinhua put down the phone and nodded to Qiu Huairou: "Mr. Qiu, Chen Ping won the role of Sha Po Lang."

"good."

Qiu Huairou nodded and said: "Chen Ping still has great potential, we have to grasp it firmly."

"However, Chen Yichong seems to have a problem with Chen Ping."

"Although Chen Yichong is Sheng Teng's first brother, he is too domineering and has poor conduct in all aspects. We don't know how many times we have wiped his butt over the years."

"That's what I say...but, Mr. Qiu, do you think Chen Ping can really surpass Chen Yichong?"

"I rarely misjudge people, and...haven't you always wanted to bring out a king?"

"King of Heaven..."

Wang Jinhua sighed: "Heavenly King, it's easier said than done. It is estimated that in this era, there is no soil for the King of Heaven to appear."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Qiu Huairou smiled slightly.

…

"Chen Ping, I really belong to you. I didn't expect you to win this role so quickly."

"The main thing is that they were short of people, and I happened to be the one to take over. I was also lucky."

"You... you are always humble whenever you are praised. By the way, when are you going to the set?"

"tomorrow."

"Okay, you go to bed early today."

"OK."

Wu Yu did not disturb Chen Ping again, but left.

Chen Ping also took a hot bath and soon lay down on the bed.

Even though he was about to fall asleep, Chen Ping was extremely emotional during today's audition.

The Xiangjiang crew has these bad habits, not just the actors, but also the directors... all of them are big names in this series.

Even though Chen Ping is somewhat popular in the mainland, in their eyes, he is just a newcomer.

Although Chen Ping passed the audition, Chen Ping estimated that there would still be trouble on the set in the next few days.

but.

Chen Ping is not a coward either.

He is not someone to be bullied.

Just like today, even if he is the assistant director, Chen Ping has to fight back.

Big deal.

This film is no longer being made.

…

The next day.

Chen Ping rushed to the crew.

but.

The crew is currently filming scenes for other characters, and Chen Ping has no scenes for the time being.

Ye Weixin arranged for Chen Ping to get familiar with the crew and get to know the other actors.

but.

Similar to the situation I encountered on the Xingye crew before, many people were very indifferent to Chen Ping.

As for Simon Yam, Hung Jin-po, and the other leading actor Lin He... they have also remained silent, as if Chen Ping does not exist.

Chen Ping felt at ease.

Since they ignored him, Chen Ping went to the set to watch others acting.

There's just something strange about him.

Why is the other protagonist here Lin He, not Zeng Zidan?

But Chen Ping couldn't think clearly about this kind of thing. He could only think it was an accident in a parallel world.

"Chen Ping, why are you always watching the show on the set?"

"Let's study."

"You are so good at acting, but you still need to learn."

"No matter how great your acting skills are, in the eyes of Hong Kong actors and directors, it's just like that."

"Haha, I am also an actor in Xiangjiang. You are including me in this list."

The person speaking to Chen Ping is Zhang Zhiyao, who previously played the role of Zi Yin in Gu Jian Qi Tan.

It seems that Ziyin has a head full of white hair, but in fact Zhang Zhiyao is not that old.

Because they were acting in the same crew, they naturally agreed.

In Sha Po Lang, Zhang Zhiyao plays Li Weile, one of the three subordinates of Simon Yam played by Chen Guozhong.

only.

Although Zhang Zhiyao is still well-known, in Sha Po Lang, facing superstars like Simon Yam and Hong Jinbao, he is just the little brother.

Even the role he played was not as good as Aji played by Chen Ping.

For one day, there was no role for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping returned to the hotel.

At this time, Wu Yu said to Chen Ping: "Wu Jin seems to be still in Xiangjiang."

"Didn't you go back to the mainland?"

"My leg was injured and it was not convenient to return to the mainland, so I had to treat the injury in Xiangjiang first."

"I'll go take a look."

Although Chen Ping and Wu Jin are not familiar with each other.

But in his previous life, Chen Ping also liked Wu Jin as an actor.

This time when Chen Ping came to Xiangjiang, he could be regarded as taking over Wu Jin's role. It was also appropriate to go and see Wu Jin.

"Chen Ping, sit down...I'm sorry, my legs are inconvenient."

At Xiangjiang Hospital, Chen Ping saw Wu Jin.

At this time, Wu Jin had not yet filmed "Wolf Warrior" or "The Wandering Earth".

At this time, Wu Jin was already on the front line in the mainland.

but.

Although it is on the front line, it has been difficult to break through.

So Wu Jing thought of going to Xiangjiang.

He is ready to find a breakthrough in the film industry.

But.

Although the idea was good, he injured his leg not long after filming Sha Po Lang.

This also made Wu Jing extremely depressed.

"Look at you, you are so polite while lying on the bed, I can just sit on the edge."

Wu Jing had no airs and was very easy-going. Chen Ping felt very comfortable chatting with Wu Jing.

This is impossible in the Xiangjiang crew.

This also made Chen Ping complain again.

certainly.

Wu Jing also felt the same way as Chen Ping.

Seeing Chen Ping complaining, Wu Jing also said: "I thought I was the only one who was treated like this."

"You have also suffered... It's impossible, you are already a first-line actor in the mainland."

"What is a first-line actor? In their eyes, I am just a newcomer. Even worse than you. After all, you have also acted in Xing Ye's drama."

"All right."

Chen Ping was helpless.

Sure enough, these Xiangjiang actors have their eyes higher than their heads.

Although.

Chen Ping knew that there was a reason for this.

For example, they feel that mainland first-line actors do not have much gold content.

The ratings, popularity, and celebrity status are all in vain.

As soon as it comes to the movie, it becomes clear.

It's just that they can't look at the mainland market rationally.

The market has a development process.

Xiangjiang was not the same back then.

Again.

The mainland market is so big.

Maybe many mainland actors don't have any decent film works now.

But after a while... Mainland actors have the final say in the entire market.

"Eat an apple. Have you filmed today?"

"Thanks."

Chen Ping took the apple and shook his head: "Director Ye mainly asked me to familiarize myself with the crew today. I watched the play while familiarizing myself with the script. As for the actors in the crew, I only recognize Zhang Zhiyao."

"Zhang Zhiyao is good. He has filmed a lot of movies in the mainland in recent years and he is very enthusiastic towards me. The other actors are average."

"By the way, how did you get injured?"

"Oh, unexpected."

Speaking of injuries, Wu Jin looked depressed: "I originally wanted to develop in Hong Kong, but my leg was injured within a few days of filming. According to the doctor, I won't be able to film for at least three months."

"Recuperate well, there will be a lot of drama in the future."

"hope so."

Wu Jin looked at God's will and said, "How do you plan to play the role of Aji?"

"I haven't fully thought about it yet. I plan to have a chat with the director. Hahaha, you have acted once and can impart some experience."

"I have a fart experience."

Wu Jin shook his head: "I have only been filming for a few days. However, I have to talk about experience. I have no acting experience, but I can give you a reminder."

"you say."

"Although the role of Aji doesn't have many roles, I think it is quite important. Moreover, he has a rivalry with Lin He. Lin He, you know."

"I know, he's a well-known star in Xiangjiang."

The status of this star is similar to that of Zeng Zidan in his previous life, and he is also very famous.

"Well, he is very famous now, and everyone says he is the successor of Jet Li. When I was filming opposite scenes with him, I was always a little afraid to confront him head-on. I accidentally slipped my foot."

"So that's it."

Chen Ping nodded.

He understood what Wu Jin meant.

The actors in Xiangjiang are so famous, and the mainland actors feel inferior to others as soon as they come up.

And if you shoot with this kind of mentality, your acting will be somewhat unnatural.

In an action scene like this, if you worry about this or that, you can easily get injured.

This is also what Wu Jin realized.

"Thank you."

Chen Ping said gratefully: "Actually, I had such an experience before on the set of Star Master. Even the day before yesterday, during the audition, I was made difficult by the assistant director. However, I have made up my mind. Even if this film is not filmed, We can’t let them bully us anymore.”

"What I want is your attitude."

Seeing Chen Ping's tough reply, Wu Jin was very excited: "I wish I could have thought like you at that time. Now that I'm injured, it disrupts my plan."

Hearing this, Chen Ping recalled his past life.

At that time, Wu Jin went to Xiangjiang to develop, but it didn't seem to be going well.

I have been in Hong Kong for several years, playing supporting roles.

It was not until later that he returned to the mainland and changed his career to become a director.

Later, I directed and starred in a film called Military Wolf Fang... and thus, the subsequent Wolf Warrior was born.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ping asked, "Have you ever been a soldier?"

"No."

Wu Jin shook his head: "I come from a martial arts family, so it's a pity that I never served as a soldier."

"Haha, I thought you had been a soldier."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "I feel like you have the temperament of a soldier."

"Yeah?"

"No...if you had a crew cut now and put on a military uniform, you would look like a military king."

"I'll go, I want to...but it's impossible."

Wu Jin sighed again.

But Chen Ping said: "How is it impossible? If you act in a few military works later, wouldn't it be equivalent to becoming a soldier in disguise?"

"Military work?"

Chen Ping's suggestion moved Wu Jin's heart.

yes.

I wanted to be a soldier so much, but I never had the chance before.

But...why not make a few military-themed movies?

"You guy, what you said made me a little excited. You don't want to seduce me purely."

"No way."

Chen Ping shook his head: "I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in domestic military themes, such as some special forces. If some themes about special forces are made into military films, I believe it will be very attractive. Nowadays, many online novels are taking the lead in film and television dramas This area is ahead of the curve, many online novels have the theme of King of Soldiers and special forces, and they have created a lot of popularity."

"Online novels are all YY novels."

"Although these online novels are just YY, they can give us some reference."

"That's true."

This night, Chen Ping and Wu Jin chatted very late.

Chen Ping recommended an online novel "The Last Bullet for Me" to Wu Jin.

This novel was adapted into the TV series "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" in a previous life.

Moreover, Wu Jin starred in the second part of I Am a Special Forces Soldier.

Until the back.

Wu Jin finally found his direction in military-themed film and television works and created a series of excellent works.

…

"Brother Situ, what's going on? You brought another mainland actor over."

"I didn't do it. I can't make the decision. Director Ye agreed."

"I really don't know how to tell Director Ye. I recommended a role to him before, but he didn't agree and insisted on casting a mainland actor."

"You can't say that. Director Ye also cares about the mainland market."

"The mainland market, the mainland market is huge, but there is no one that can conquer it."

Lin He, the star of Sha Po Lang, shook his head and said with a look of disdain: "I said before that Wu Jin is very good at spanking, and he can spank a lot. When we filmed with him, he didn't dare to fight back at all. The filming lasted only three days. , the feet are still crooked... This is still the most capable martial arts actor in their mainland."

"Lin He, don't be too demanding of mainland actors. Not everyone is as capable as you."

"How about shooting from behind? I've met Chen Ping. This guy doesn't seem to have practiced."

"I haven't practiced yet, but Director Ye said that he has filmed martial arts dramas in the Mainland."

"Mainland martial arts dramas...just kidding, who doesn't know that martial arts dramas produced in the mainland are just staged for the camera?"

Lin He said disdainfully: "Brother Situ, don't blame me for not reminding you. When the time comes, I won't be able to hold back."

"Lin He, why are you quarreling with me? Do you think I want him?"

Assistant director Situ was also depressed.

"or……"

Lin He's eyes signaled: "Get him out?"

"Heh, I think so too, he's just the assistant director."

"Brother Situ, it's just a small matter."

Lin He clinked glasses with Situ: "Although you are not the only one who has the final say on the crew, you are also the action director. How to shoot the action scenes is not yours to decide. If he can't shoot it by then, You can definitely ask him to leave."

"Well... we'll talk about it then."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

…

The next day.

Chen Ping's play.

Early in the morning, director Ye Weixin called Chen Ping over and talked about the play with him.

Chen Ping listened carefully.

Afterwards, Chen Ping entered the dressing room.

"Teacher Chen Ping, because of the setting of your character, I have to redesign your hairstyle."

"good."

Chen Ping closed his eyes and let the stylist do whatever he wanted.

After Chen Ping opened his eyes, Chen Ping found that his hairstyle was a little weird.

Then he looked at the stylist behind him in the mirror, but Chen Ping understood somewhat. His face turned cold and he said, "Brother, I don't know who ordered you. However, I suggest you be careful. If there's anything wrong with my hair style..."

Chen Ping took the comb in front of the mirror and folded it hard.

The stylist behind him was startled.

He was originally instructed by the assistant director.

Although he doesn't like these mainland actors in his heart, he is just a stylist after all, and he doesn't have the guts.

But after all, the assistant director was backing him, so he made some small moves on Chen Ping's head.

I thought that even if a mainland actor like Chen Ping was bullying him, he would not dare to speak out.

Don't want to.

Chen Ping doesn't seem to be a good person.

He's just a little stylist.

Although Chen Ping came to the mainland, he is still a well-known actor.

If Chen Ping tried his best to make trouble against him, he would be completely unable to withstand it.

Seeing that Chen Ping was not a fuel-efficient lamp, he immediately said: "Brother Ping, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made some mistakes in the operation just now, I will redesign the shape for you."
