Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Changing the script temporarily is something that Xiangjiang director always likes to do.

Not to mention the great director Tsui Hark.

Although Tsui Hark is the producer, he basically has the final say on the New Dragon Inn production.

And Chen Ping.

After meeting Tsui Hark and Li Huimin, he officially joined the crew.

and.

Among the crew.

Chen Ping saw the goddesses in the minds of countless people in their previous lives, Zhang Manyu and Lin Qingxia.

At this time, Zhang Manyu and Lin Qingxia were still at their peak.

Their appearance, temperament, status, influence... are all unprecedented.

But after all, Chen Ping knows his status.

Although Chen Ping is a first-line actor in the mainland, he is just the same in Hong Kong.

Facing Zhang Manyu and Lin Qingxia, Chen Ping simply nodded to them.

The crew has unspoken rules for the crew.

Don't try to get close to superstars until you reach a certain level.

Just like when Chen Ping was on the Shinhwa crew, even if he saw Chen Long, Chen Ping didn't go to say hello to Chen Long.

The level difference is too big. Not only can't they get close to each other by running over, but they are also suspected of flattering.

It's the same now.

Although Chen Ping likes these two actors very much.

But Chen Ping and the two superstars are not so familiar yet.

but.

Chen Ping did not get close to the two superstars, but the two superstars noticed Chen Ping.

"Qingxia, do you know that actor?"

"I know, Chen Ping, an actor from the mainland, what's wrong?"

"Do you think he..."

"He what?"

Lin Qingxia was a little strange and didn't know what Zhang Manyu meant.

"Don't you think Chen Ping is very elegant?"

"Great temperament?"

Lin Qingxia didn't pay attention at first.

As soon as Zhang Manyu said that, Lin Qingxia looked at Chen Ping again: "He does have some temperament."

"Look carefully again."

Zhang Manyu didn't seem satisfied: "Look at Chen Ping's eyes."

"Chen Ping's eyes?"

Lin Qingxia was even more puzzled and stared at Chen Ping a few more times.

But at this moment, Chen Ping was facing away from the two of them, and Lin Qingxia did not see Chen Ping's face.

However, he seemed to feel that someone was paying attention to him.

Chen Ping was a little strange and turned his head.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Manyu and Lin Qingxia were staring at him.

Chen Ping didn't know what the two meant, so he smiled at each other, and then thought about Cao Shaoqin's acting method in his mind.

Although Chen Ping has a deeper understanding of Cao Shaoqin.

But this crew is no ordinary crew.

This can almost be said to be the highest formulation in Xiangjiang.

Playing against ordinary actors, Chen Ping may still be ahead in every aspect.

But compared with these superstars, Chen Ping also has a lot of pressure.

in particular.

The film hadn't been shot yet, but after meeting Zhang Manyu and Lin Qingxia, Chen Ping felt that the other actors' will was extremely strong.

certainly.

Zhang Manyu and Lin Qingxia are not cheating, but their will, their aura... are definitely the top existences in Xiangjiang.

Even facing Zhou Xingchi, they were not at a disadvantage.

certainly.

Not just them.

There are also people like the movie kings Zhang Jiahui and Xu Jingjiang.

Even the four men who are played by Chen Ping as Cao Shaoqin are all top-notch actors in Hong Kong.

"You see it."

Seeing Chen Ping smiling towards her, Zhang Manyu also smiled and nodded: "Look at Chen Ping's eyes. Do you realize that he is as good as Liang Chaowei?"

"If you don't tell me, I haven't discovered it yet."

Lin Qingxia was stunned and nodded: "His eyes are very beautiful and very charming."

Finished.

However, Lin Qingxia recalled Chen Ping's smile just now.

Chen Ping's eyes are very bright, like the stars in the sky.

With such eyes, Lin Qingxia subconsciously thought of Liang Chaowei.

However, Liang Chaowei's eyes showed more of a melancholic temperament, while Chen Ping's eyes showed clearness without a trace of turbidity.

Although the two have different temperaments, they also have incomparable charm.

"Yes, I feel very energetic, without any evil thoughts."

Zhang Manyu had noticed Chen Ping before.

Looking back again, the more I looked, the more I was attracted by Chen Ping's eyes.

In fact, she only knew the actor's name before and didn't care much about Chen Ping.

certainly.

This is also normal.

When you reach a position like Zhang Manyu's, it's impossible for any ordinary actor to take her to heart.

But as soon as she saw Chen Ping's eyes, Zhang Manyu remembered it.

"Come on, Qingxia, let's go tease him."

"Manyu, you're so embarrassed."

"Why are you so sorry? Come on, aren't you also very interested in him?"

Zhang Manyu, who has always been charming, pulled Lin Qingxia and walked over: "Classmate Chen Ping, what are you thinking about?"

Chen Ping, who was thinking about the plot, was a little confused.

He didn't understand how Zhang Manyu and Lin Qingxia came to be next to him.

But soon, Chen Ping reacted: "I am thinking about how to play Cao Shaoqin."

"Haha, the Cao Shaoqin you played is a big villain. He will have many scenes with us in the future. We didn't expect Director Xu to find a young actor like you to play Cao Shaoqin."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Chen Ping also nodded, but then continued: "I guess the audience will not expect it when our movie is released."

"Hey...this is interesting."

Maggie Cheung thought about it and thought this setting was fun.

It turns out that everyone thinks that the main villain and the eunuch should be played by an older actor.

But now Tsui Hark has found a young actor to play the role.

This not only surprised the actors, but also surprised countless viewers.

But actually……

Can't young actors play the villain?

sure.

but.

Although it can.

But for young actors to play the villain and the eunuch, the challenge is even greater.

Because when you are older, you don’t get angry and you are proud.

But Chen Ping is so handsome and young, so there is no majesty.

Zhang Manyu, who has always been outspoken, said: "Now that you tell me, I'm really looking forward to the villain you play. How about we play opposite each other?"

"Now?"

"That's right, don't you dare?"

Zhang Manyu looked at Chen Ping with interest.

Although Chen Ping was a little strange, he really didn't dare to do anything.

"also."

Chen Ping nodded.

Although the opposite actor is Zhang Manyu, it is not like Chen Ping has never acted opposite a superstar.

Stephen Chow, Jet Li and Chen Ping have all acted opposite them.

"Which scene are we on?"

Chen Ping thought about the plot in the New Longmen Inn.

In fact, Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, has many scenes with Jin Xiangyu, played by Maggie Cheung in New Dragon Gate Inn.

But most of them are fighting scenes, and there are relatively few literary scenes.

If you really want to play a duel, it's actually too short.

Zhang Manyu probably also thought of this problem and said, "I wonder if you have watched the movie "Love at First Sight"."

"Of course I have."

Chen Ping nodded: "This is played by Teacher Manyu and Teacher Liming."

"Yes, we will play the part where Mike says I love you to Ellen."

"I go……"

Chen Ping burst into tears: "This plot is too classic."

certainly.

Not just classic.

This plot line is also very bold and open.

"So, I want you to be the leading actor for once."

"This...I have to prepare."

I don’t know what Zhang Manyu means.

It seemed like she wanted to play a game with herself.

But in this game, Chen Ping doesn’t have stage fright either.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ping said, "Okay, let's get started."

"Is this the beginning?"

Chen Ping agreed immediately, and Zhang Manyu asked in surprise: "Do you remember the lines? I will send you the script."

"I remember that line."

"Okay."

Seeing that Chen Ping was really ready, Zhang Manyu curled her hair with her fingers.

Three seconds later, Zhang Manyu also nodded: "Okay, let's start."

A movie queen is a movie queen.

Although there were some jokes to Chen Ping just now, Zhang Manyu was ready after just a few seconds.

"321...begin."

Lin Qingxia next to her took the note and started.

Zhang Manyu entered the state instantly and said to herself: "I don't know why I went to bed with you the first time I met you, and I went to bed with you the second time I met you. I don't know when the third time will come..."

"Love at First Sight" is played by Maggie Cheung and Leon Lai.

The plot is about: When a bohemian playboy meets an infatuated and strong single mother.

And the most classic section among them is this section.

Zhang Manyu, who plays Ellen, is a little entangled, extremely nervous, and has some regrets, but also some expectations.

Chen Ping looked at Zhang Manyu quietly, and then said: "You also stayed at my house for the third time."

Zhang Manyu, who was exposed by Chen Ping, sighed helplessly: "Okay, how old are you?"

Chen Ping said: "33, what about you?"

Maggie Cheung replied: "Me too."

After speaking, Maggie Cheung shrugged and looked at Chen Ping: "What fun does a woman in her 30s have?"

Chen Ping followed Maggie Cheung's words: "Yeah, what's so fun?"

Later, Chen Ping said quietly: "Because a man puts so much pressure on a woman in her 30s. If she is unhappy about something, there is no way back for the woman."

Zhang Manyu smiled bitterly: "Why did you choose me?"

Chen Ping blurted out: "I love you."

This sentence "I love you" is said faster than Maggie Cheung's sentence "Why did you choose me".

Before Zhang Manyu finished speaking, Chen Ping had already said "I love you".

Zhang Manyu looked at Chen Ping in disbelief.

Because although this sentence "I love you" seems ordinary, when Li Ming said this sentence, it was performed more than 30 times.

But Chen Ping spoke so affectionately without any preparation.

More importantly.

When Chen Ping said the words "I love you", Zhang Manyu was actually a little moved.

Of course, this heartbeat was not just because Zhang Manyu fell in love with Chen Ping.

It wasn't Chen Ping's words that really made Zhang Manyu fall in love with him.

Just because Chen Ping's words "I love you" reminded Zhang Manyu of many of his past events.

For a moment...

Zhang Manyu originally wanted to tease Chen Ping, but in the end it made Zhang Manyu a little depressed.

In terms of career, Zhang Manyu can be said to have reached the pinnacle of her life.

But in terms of love life, Zhang Manyu is a bit bad.

But as a movie queen after all, Zhang Manyu quickly hid her emotions.

On the other hand, Lin Qingxia patted her... and gave her applause: "Awesome, Chen Ping, your words of "I love you" are so heartwarming. You see, our Xiaoyu is blushing."

"Sister Qingxia, go to hell, where can you be?"

"No, look, look..."

"Okay, okay, don't joke. Chen Ping, I had a lot of fun playing with you today. See you next time."

I don't know if it was embarrassment or what, but after finishing the scene with Chen Ping, Zhang Manyu hurriedly pulled Brigitte Lin and left.

…

"Teacher Chen Ping, your acting skills were really beautiful just now, why don't we also play opposite each other?"

Watching Zhang Manyu and Lin Qingxia leave.

At this time, a somewhat sinister voice said from the side.

Chen Ping took a look.

The four actors walked towards him.

These four people are Cao Shaoqin's four subordinates in the play.

They are Liu Xun, Wu Qihua, Xiong Xinxin, and Ling Donglai.

Among the four, Liu Xun and Wu Qihua are the most famous.

Wu Qihua previously played Zhang Wuji in the 01 version of Heaven and Dragon Sword.

As for Liu Xun, he is a veteran actor in Xiangjiang. He has acted in major dramas such as "Zombie Supreme", "Once Upon a Time in China", "The Grandmaster", "Tai Chi Grandmaster"... etc.

The person who spoke just now was Ling Donglai, who was just an ordinary actor in Xiangjiang.

but.

Although these words were spoken by Ling Dong, they basically represented the meaning of the four of them.

"Sorry, I'm a little tired, maybe next time."

Although he was a little surprised, when he saw the four people, Chen Ping understood what they meant.

Even before joining the crew, Chen Ping learned that the crew had selected several actors for the role of Cao Shaoqin.

For example, Zeng Zidan, and the older Liu Xun in front of him.

But in the end, Tsui Hark settled on Chen Ping.

If the four actors were just ordinary characters, they might not have any objections to Chen Ping.

Or even if he has an opinion, it is impossible to provoke Chen Ping.

Although Chen Ping is not a superstar in Xiangjiang, he is still considered the number one figure.

But among the four, Liu Xun and Wu Qihua are not ordinary characters.

Liu Xun was older and more qualified, and he was also on good terms with director Li Huimin.

At that time, Liu Xun thought he could win the role of Cao Shaoqin.

I don’t want to be taken away by Chen Ping.

This made Liu Xun extremely depressed.

What's even more depressing is that he is older than Chen Ping in both qualifications and age, but he has to be Chen Ping's subordinate.

Is this true?

What does the director of Dongchang say? It's him who plays the role more powerfully. What's the point of finding a pretty boy?

As for Wu Qihua.

Although Wu Qihua was also an actor in TV series before, he also played Zhang Wuji before.

Moreover, Wu Qihua believes that his status is obviously higher than that of Chen Ping.

Even if the crew wants to choose a young actor, why not choose him instead of Chen Ping?

but.

They don't have the guts to ask how the crew selects actors.

However, they were not polite to Chen Ping.

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't dare, Ling Donglai said: "What, are you scared? Aren't you very good at acting? You were opposite Zhang Manyu just now. Tsk, tsk, I love you...that's a stupid shout."

Ling Donglai knows his role.

He is just an ordinary actor, and he doesn't need to be embarrassed.

Liu Xun, Wu Qihua and others could not say anything, but he would say it.

However, Chen Ping snorted coldly: "If you want to do a scene, there will be plenty of opportunities when filming officially starts."

"I'm just afraid that when the filming officially starts, you won't be laughed at."

"Okay, let's see who among the four of you will be laughed at then."

Chen Ping has made four movies in Hong Kong.

There are two Xingye dramas, one is "Slaying the Wolf" which was just released, and the other is Fang Shiyu who stars with Li Lianlian.

Except for Fang Shiyu, who is supported by Jet Li, several other dramas are squeezed by a group of actors from Hong Kong.

Chen Ping has long been used to this and is even prepared for it.

certainly.

Although he was used to it, Chen Ping would not be polite to them.

After the previous few dramas, Chen Ping also understood a truth.

To gain a foothold in Hong Kong, it is not enough to just be able to act.

Sometimes, in addition to acting, the methods also need to be ruthless.

…

"Roman, something very happy happened to me today."

"What's up?"

"Xiaoyu and I arrived at the set of "New Dragon Inn" today, and then we saw a rather interesting actor. You don't know, this actor's eyes are so beautiful that he almost made me feel like a girl. Then Xiaoyu wanted to tease him, but instead of teasing him, Xiaoyu made Xiaoyu blush, and now he is very excited..."

Back at the hotel, Brigitte Lin couldn't help smiling when she thought of what happened just now, and called Roman.

Zhang Manyu on the side heard it and threw a pillow over: "Sister Xia, you are so young."

Then Zhang Manyu said loudly: "Roman, don't listen to Sister Xia's nonsense, I don't have it."

Roman laughed loudly and said, "I know who the actor you are talking about is."

"you know?"

"yes."

"how do you know?"

"Why can't I know?"

"Gossip won't spread all of a sudden."

Zhang Manyu complained a little: "Who are the people in the crew? They are actors, but they have become spies."

However, Luo Man comforted Zhang Manyu and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu, no one is passing on your melons. I know Chen Ping."

"Ah, do you recognize Chen Ping?"

Lin Qingxia was a little surprised: "How do you recognize him?"

"Well...it's a long story, he's my brother."

"Brother, do you have a brother?"

"You can't do it well."

"Oh oh oh..."

Lin Qingxia made several strange screams.

Luo Luo heard what Brigitte Lin meant: "You old drivers are really just familiar brothers. Don't think about it. Also, don't have any ideas about my brother."

"Tch...you think your brother is the emperor and superstar, and I still have ideas for him."

Zhang Manyu curled her lips: "However, your brother is really good-looking, especially his eyes. No, no, since he is your brother, why didn't you tell us earlier. Regardless of our relationship, we can still protect him to a certain extent."

"I thought before...but after listening to what Sister Xia said, I feel it's not necessary."

"Why?"

"Why else? Even Xiaoyu can make you blush when he teases you. My brother's kung fu must be pretty good."

"You female hooligan..."

Zhang Manyu scolded Roman with contempt: "Huh, don't say I didn't tell you. Your brother is an actor from the Mainland. No one is protecting him. Don't blame me if you are bullied."

"Then you can help me keep an eye on it."

"Tch, you said no...you liar."

…

After chatting with Roman, the next day, good news came from Tsui Hark.

The 18th and final script of "New Dragon Inn" has finally been finalized.

This news made everyone happy.

In fact, all the cast and crew are here.

The reason why it has not been launched is because we are waiting for Tsui Hark's script.

Fortunately, although Tsui Hark changed the script frequently, he also changed the script very quickly.

It only took two days to finalize the final version.

Looking at the final script, Li Huimin asked again: "Old Monster Xu, is this script the final version?"

"Required."

"You won't change?"

"If you change it again, you'll be a bastard."

Tsui Hark said firmly.

Although Old Monster Xu likes to change scripts, New Dragon Gate Inn is the script he has changed the most.

There are 18 versions of New Longmen Inn. Not only is it mentally demanding, it is also a physical job.

These days, he has stayed up several all-nighters.

Even though he said that, Tsui Hark looked at Chen Ping again and said, "Chen Ping, what do you think of this script?"

Chen Ping read the script.

The biggest change is to Cao Shaoqin.

Added Yu Huatian's lines from "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" mentioned by Chen Ping before.

The other parts are almost the same as the previous version of "New Dragon Gate Inn".

but.

Although the previous version of "New Dragon Inn" was good, it was not perfect.

For example, in the previous version, although the villain Cao Shaoqin was killed.

But on the protagonist's side, it's all about death and injury.

And it doesn’t change much about the overall tragedy.

In the Ming Dynasty, there will still be eunuchs with exclusive power, there will still be East factories, and even West factories will appear later.

No matter how powerful these people in the martial arts world are, they will still be hunted down by the court.

After thinking about it, Chen Ping said: "Director Xu, the final outcome is that Zhou Huaian stays away from the Central Plains, but this is just an escape. As a hero, you should not just save one or two people, but should save more people. "

"As a knight-errant, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, there are limits. Being able to save one person or two is already pretty good."

"Then what if Zhou Huaian understands the importance of the court after killing the eunuch Cao Shaoqin, and then sneaks into the Jinyi Guards?"

"Huh……"

Look at Chen Ping.

Tsui Hark looked at Li Huimin again.

at last.

Tsui Hark said: "I think our script should be changed again."
