Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Old Monster Xu, aren't you talking about the last version of the script?"

"Well, don't you think what Chen Ping said just now is interesting?"

"Didn't you say that if you change it again, you'll be a bastard?"

"Did I say that?"

Tsui Hark spread his hands and asked Lin Qingxia: "Qingxia, you come to testify."

"No, no, how can Director Xu be a bastard?"

Lin Qingxia was very interesting and excused Tsui Hark.

Li Huimin was helpless: "Okay, how long will it take for you to change?"

"Small changes, it shouldn't take too much time. By the way, we can shoot now. When the shooting is finished, I have already thought about the ending."

"also."

When Tsui Hark said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If Tsui Hark were to change it like this, all the crew members would have to vomit blood.

Especially the top stars.

Like Zhang Manyu and Brigitte Lin, their schedules are calculated by days.

Only Old Monster Xu can make them give in again and again.

However, although it was a minor change, Tsui Hark thought Chen Ping's suggestion was very good.

Zhou Huaian kills Cao Shaoqin and then withdraws from the world. This ending is the ending in many martial arts novels.

Although there is nothing wrong with this ending, everyone is actually tired of seeing it.

Why not modify it?

Why do all the martial arts masters end up living in seclusion?

Why can't he sneak into the court?

The so-called small hermitage is hidden in the forest, the middle hermitage is hidden in the city, and the great hermitage is hidden in the court.

Sneaking into the imperial court is the best way to live in seclusion.

And among the so-called six doors, it is easier to practice.

Sneaking into the imperial court would not only be of great benefit to one's own practice, but no one would have thought of it.

More importantly.

Sneaking into the court, you can do more meaningful things when necessary.

Such as those who kill eunuchs.

Under normal circumstances, these masters of martial arts are hunted down by eunuchs.

But if he sneaks into the court, he might be able to attack him in the court at some time.

certainly.

With this change.

The end of New Longmen Inn is not just the end, it is a new beginning.

If you want to make a sequel or something else in the future, such an ending will be very exciting.

…

"Chen Ping, come on, let's talk."

For several days in a row, Chen Ping exceeded Tsui Hark's surprise.

Call Chen Ping to the office.

Tsui Hark made a pot of tea for Chen Ping: "Chen Ping, I feel like you have great ideas on the script."

"No, I was just imagining it."

"Don't be modest, we are the only ones here. If you don't say what you think, you won't have a chance to say it in the future."

"Well, actually, sometimes I think more about it. And sometimes when I receive some bad roles, I just think about how to make this role more outstanding. But acting is only one aspect in the end, the more important thing is The setting of the script.”

"Indeed it is."

Tsui Hark also expressed emotion: "It can be said that the script basically determines the life and death of a character. I seem to have heard that you invested in The Legend of Heaven."

"yes."

"amazing."

Tsui Hark is also a fan of martial arts and said excitedly: "You took a picture that I have always wanted to take but didn't dare to take. In the future, we will talk more when we have time."

"I think I'm just afraid that some other actors will say that I flatter you."

"Hahaha... With your talent, you don't want to flatter me. Besides, you are not a good person. Anyone who has offended you, you have rebuffed them all. No, not just retaliation, you also Strike hard."

The gossip that Chen Ping beat Lin He half to death spread throughout Xiangjiang.

Although gossip is gossip, others don’t know the details.

But for a director like Tsui Hark, as long as he inquires about it, it will almost be clear.

"Okay, don't you want revenge? The opening ceremony will be held later, your first shot. However, you can't hit anyone on the set."

"Don't worry, Director Xu, do I look like someone who likes to hit people?"

"picture."

"Pfft..."

"Thank you, Director Xu, I have a good idea."

Chen Ping didn't expect Tsui Hark to be such a wonderful person, and he liked him even more for a while.

…

The next day.

The opening ceremony of "New Longmen Inn" was held.

A group of reporters surrounded Zhang Manyu, Brigitte Lin, Liang Jiaqi, Tsui Hark... and others.

As for Chen Ping and other not-so-well-known actors, there were only sporadic interviews with reporters.

He simply asked Chen Ping a few questions, and then Chen Ping stood there alone.

Chen Ping has long been accustomed to this.

These are all Hong Kong media.

Even if Chen Ping is slightly famous, the media will not praise Chen Ping.

The most I can do is mention Chen Ping's name.

certainly.

In addition to Chen Ping, Liu Xun, Wu Qihua and others are not treated particularly well.

Although Wu Qihua is still popular in Xiangjiang, he is far behind compared with Zhang Manyu, Brigitte Lin, and Liang Jiaqi.

At this time, no reporters came to interview. They were bored. Liu Xun, Wu Qihua and others looked at Chen Ping again.

"Chen Ping, I heard that you went to Director Xu's place yesterday?"

It's still Ling Donglai who starts.

Anyway, he feels that he is not afraid of wearing shoes when he is barefoot, and no matter whether his reputation is good or bad, it will not affect him.

In order to win the favor of Liu Xun, Wu Qihua and others, Ling Donglai liked to be the first person.

Chen Ping was a little disgusted with these guys.

However, today is the opening ceremony, and the first shot will be taken shortly.

Chen Ping, Liu Xun, and Wu Qihua also have to participate, so it's time to torture them.

Seeing Ling Donglai speak, Chen Ping deliberately teased him and said, "Yes."

"Tsk, tsk, flattering Director Xu?"

"That's right, you can't take a picture even if you want to."

"We don't care."

"haha, really?"

Chen Ping looked at the four of them with a half-smile.

Wu Qihua, who had not spoken much before, hummed: "The first scene will be in a while, Teacher Chen Ping, I hope you can give me some advice."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Chen Ping looked at Wu Qihua and couldn't help but sigh.

In my previous life, I still liked Wu Qihua's version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword".

did not expect.

The intersection between Chen Ping and Wu Qihua in this world is actually this.

But Chen Ping didn't particularly care.

The entertainment industry is a circle.

Before you got in, the stars and actors you saw were just appearances, just the personas created by the agency for the outside world.

But in the real entertainment industry, the relationship between actors and stars is messy.

If possible, Chen Ping would like to have a celebrity or actor he liked in his previous life as a friend.

But if there is no such opportunity.

Chen Ping didn't force anything either.

…

They didn't like each other.

Because Chen Ping, Liu Xun, and Wu Qihua were in the first scene, they went to the dressing room in advance.

Chen Ping's advice is not needed. With such a large crew and a well-known director, even the makeup artist is among the top in the country.

Chen Ping closed his eyes and let the makeup artist do everything.

An hour later, Chen Ping walked out of the dressing room.

At the same time.

Chen Ping also fully opened his mind as an actor 100%.

This is the first time Chen Ping has fully released the actor's will after raising it to 100%.

"this……"

Director Li Huimin chatted with Tsui Kezheng.

As soon as Chen Ping walked out of the dressing room, Li Huimin felt that Chen Ping was completely different from before.

"Old Monster Xu, look at Chen Ping."

"What's wrong with Chen Ping?"

"You'll know when you see it."

Patting Tsui Hark aside, Li Huimin pointed at Chen Ping and said.

Tsui Hark was reading the storyboard script and didn't pay much attention to Chen Ping.

Following Li Huimin's finger, Tsui Hark cast a look.

I wanted to keep coming back to watch the storyboards.

But in an instant, the storyboard script in Tsui Hark's hand fell to the ground: "I'm going, what's going on?"

If Chen Ping before, except for his appearance, everything was mediocre.

But now Chen Ping, just one look at him, shows his sharpness.

Although Chen Ping looks very feminine, the entire makeup also makes Chen Ping's face very white.

Generally this is the way to apply makeup for eunuchs.

The face must be whitened.

Otherwise it would be difficult to distinguish eunuchs from ordinary people.

If you put aside everything else and just look at the face, it may be difficult for you to tell who is a eunuch and who is not.

After all, it’s impossible to take out that thing and show it to you.

Of course, if you have done some research, you can look at the eunuch’s clothing.

But the eunuch clothing in the Ming Dynasty was different from the eunuch clothing in the Qingming Dynasty.

Not to mention that the clothes of the big eunuch are completely different from those of the little eunuch.

In addition, New Dragon Inn is a martial arts drama, not a historical drama.

Therefore, the role of Cao Shaoqin has more elements of the world.

For example, Chen Ping was wearing a cloak at this time.

Under such a dress, Chen Ping's face could only be whitened as much as possible.

This kind of whitening is not just white, but very white, so white that people can tell at a glance that they are eunuchs.

so.

Under such makeup, she plays the role of eunuch again. An ordinary actor can turn into a girl in an instant.

Even if he is not a girl, he looks like a girl on the outside.

But now look at Chen Ping.

Although in appearance, Chen Ping also looks a bit more feminine, even a bit girly.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that this is not a mother.

This is a very feminine and soft temperament.

Yin is not the yin of yin and yang, but the yin of old yin.

Just by looking at it, Tsui Hark was amazed.

"Okay, what a great Cao Shaoqin."

Tsui Hark's setting of Cao Shaoqin, in addition to being a villain, also wanted to change the way ordinary people view eunuchs.

So he asked the makeup artist to put a cloak on Chen Ping.

However, this is all superficial.

On the inside, the Cao Shaoqin that Tsui Hark wants is the kind of ambitious martial arts leader.

It's just that Cao Shaoqin is a eunuch after all.

How to turn a eunuch into an ambitious martial arts leader is actually a bit difficult for Tsui Hark.

Tsui Hark is not particularly clear about Cao Shaoqin's image.

but.

When Chen Ping showed his femininity, Tsui Hark knew that this was the Cao Shaoqin in his heart.

"Director Li, I think I have found the right person."

Staring at Chen Ping, Tsui Hark said excitedly.

"Yes, you have found the right person."

Li Huimin was also shocked by Chen Ping's makeup.

However, when he saw Liu Ye, Wu Qihua...their performances, Li Huimin frowned and said, "But you are so right."

This sentence made Tsui Hark a little stunned. He didn't understand what Li Huimin meant.

However, when he saw Liu Xun, Wu Qihua, Ling Donglai... they, Tsui Hark understood instantly.

"The aura is too strong."

"This kind of aura is comparable to that of the Emperor Superstar."

Liu Xun is an experienced actor after all.

Under the suppression of Chen Ping's aura, he was still able to react somewhat.

But the other three, even Wu Qihua, behaved unnaturally.

Look at them, some of them don't dare to look at Chen Ping now.

Although filming has not officially started yet.

But in this state, when it came time to actually shoot, these three people were completely out.

…

"Hey, is this Chen Ping?"

Zhang Manyu also paid attention to the situation on this side.

In other words, she had already seen it when Chen Ping took the first step out of the dressing room.

But Zhang Manyu didn't expect it either.

Today's Chen Ping is completely different from before.

Although Chen Ping didn't say anything, even she felt this aura.

"This kid is hiding his body."

Lin Qingxia smiled slightly.

I thought Chen Ping's acting skills were good before, but now I see it.

Chen Ping is not only good at acting, but his state of mind has reached a very high level.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingxia figured it out again.

If he didn't have such a state of mind, how could he have played with Zhang Manyu yesterday.

Especially Chen Ping's "I love you" sentence. Although it was a temporary preparation, Zhang Manyu was obviously shocked by Chen Ping's "I love you" sentence.

Can ordinary actors do it?

…

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that all four of them were affected, director Li Huimin stepped forward and asked, "Are you familiar with the lines?"

"I know it by heart."

"Not ready?"

"Ready."

"It's like this when you're ready."

Li Huimin naturally knew their situation. He gave them a few words of encouragement after reading the story, and then said in a low voice: "You don't care about Chen Ping. Just pretend that he doesn't exist and just play your own role."

only.

Say so.

But ten minutes after the filming officially started, except for Liu Xun, the other three people were still influenced by Chen Ping.

For a moment, I couldn't even speak my lines clearly.

Some of them spoke clearly, but the lines were hesitant to read, as if a tiger was about to eat him.

As for who the tiger is, who is it if it’s not Chen Ping?

"Old Monster Xu, what do you think we should do?"

Although the first scene is a literary drama, this literary drama is not weak.

This theatrical scene is quite big.

The plot tells that Cao Shaoqin took four assistants and four stalls to force Yang Yuxuan, the Minister of War, to hand over military power.

Although Yang Yuxuan was the Minister of War, he was nothing in Cao Shaoqin's eyes.

Cao Shaoqin not only tortured Yang Yuxuan, but also falsely passed on imperial edicts... he could do anything.

Although he knew that Chen Ping intended to target the four people, Li Huimin couldn't say how well Chen Ping performed.

not to mention.

Chen Ping's current role as Cao Shaoqin also amazed Li Huimin.

With such a classic performance, it is impossible for Li Huimin to say anything wrong with Chen Ping.

But.

If Chen Ping keeps his aura in full swing, should this drama be filmed?

"Old Monster Xu, what are you looking at? Why are you talking?"

Li Huimin had a headache after touching Tsui Hark.

"I was thinking about what you just said."

Staring at Chen Ping, Tsui Hark said: "Director Li, look at it. The position Chen Ping is sitting on is on a high platform. Everyone can understand at a glance in the camera that Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, is inferior to one person and ten thousand people." Above. Chen Ping’s aura is already very strong, and the external environment adds to it, which makes Chen Ping’s aura even more powerful.”

"You built this high platform. How about removing it?"

"It's useless to take it away."

Tsui Hark shook his head: "Look at Chen Ping's sitting posture, have you noticed it?"

"A flat sitting position?"

At this time, Chen Ping had gone to the lounge, and Li Huimin called up the scene just now.

After looking at it carefully, Li Huimin said, "Is there anything wrong with your sitting posture?"

"Of course there is a problem."

Tsui Hark said while pointing to Chen Ping's feet in the camera: "Look at the position of Chen Ping's legs."

"Chen Ping's legs are placed a little strangely."

Li Huimin also noticed this.

Generally speaking.

Ordinary people sit on the couch with their legs spread naturally.

But Chen Ping deliberately made a horoscope-like release.

"Not weird, not weird at all."

Tsui Hark shook his head, and then said with great appreciation: "Have you ever heard of a saying, the outer horoscope indicates life, and the inner horoscope indicates death."

This was done by Liu Jin, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty.

Before Liu Jin, the imperial staff would not kill anyone. But after Liu Jin, even if it was just the imperial staff, he would die or be disabled.

Because of Liu Jin's majesty.

The executioner must look at the toes of the eunuch's shoes before executing him.

If the toes of eunuchs' shoes are curved, then this person can live.

If the toes of this eunuch's shoes are pigeon-toed, he will be beaten to death.

Chen Ping's legs were pigeon-toed, which proved that Yang Yuxuan must be beaten to death.

Even though this is a small place, it reveals Chen Ping's understanding of the profession of eunuch and his familiarity with the entire role.

Therefore, Cao Shaoqin, played by him, revealed an incomparable aura.

"How about asking Chen Ping to put some water in?"

Li Huimin thought for a while and said.

If this continues, when will the first shot be taken?

But Tsui Hark shook his head: "Let him go? Director Xu, if we let him go, what will happen to our Cao Shaoqin?"

It was not easy for such a stunning Cao Shaoqin to appear.

If this situation becomes mediocre, Tsui Hark will have to vomit blood.

"What should we do?"

Li Huimin also knew that it was impossible for Chen Ping to let go.

Not to mention Tsui Hark's disapproval, even Li Huimin himself felt distressed.

"This way, let Wu Qihua and the others stop looking at Chen Ping, and let's shoot them from another angle."

"No, Chen Ping and his four stalls have lines."

"I watched it, and actually there are not many lines. The most lines are Liu Xun's. Just let Liu Xun finish their lines."

Among the four, although Liu Xun was also influenced by Chen Ping, he was an experienced actor after all, so his influence was not particularly great.

After Liu Xun adjusted his condition, Liu Xun could barely withstand Chen Ping's aura.

"Then try this first."

There was no other better way, so Li Huimin gave an explanation to the four people.

Although Wu Qihua and Ling Donglai... they were a little depressed inside.

But they also shut up obediently now.

Think about it before they provoked Chen Ping.

result.

After just a few words of this line, Chen Ping's aura overwhelmed him and made him unable to continue acting.

His face was so beaten that it was still extremely red even now.

The older Liu Xun has a good foundation and senior qualifications, so he can withstand it.

"Brother Liu, it's up to you this time."

Wu Qihua felt embarrassed and put his hope in Liu Xun.

Although Liu Xun didn't feel that he was being outdone by Chen Ping, he felt extremely embarrassed.

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Although Chen Ping cannot be compared to him, this scene can still hold up.

…

"Are you ready?"

"321..."

"Axon."

shoot……

The first scene, the 7th shooting started again.

Chen Ping sat under the high platform with his legs in a splayed position.

Although not a word was spoken, the actors' will was fully unleashed, just like circles of water ripples radiating in the air, constantly exerting influence on the actors.

Especially for Liu Xun and the four of them.

Since they want to provoke him, Chen Ping doesn't intend to show mercy.

Chen Ping made up his mind to expel the four people from the crew.

He would like to see it.

Will these Xiangjiang actors dare to challenge me again?

but.

This Liu Xun still has some abilities.

Faced with Chen Ping's 100% will as an actor, Liu Xun endured it.

but.

Just when Liu Xun thought the hurdle was over.

Sudden……

Chen Ping's eyes were filled with light, and a fierce tiger jumped out of Chen Ping's eyes.

"ah……"

Involuntarily, Liu Xun shouted and took dozens of steps back.
