Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

The script written by Chen Ping is called Wolf Warrior 1.

As for Wolf Warrior 2, I’ll save it for later.

certainly.

Even Wolf Warrior 1 is not something Wu Jin can shoot well now.

Chen Ping doesn't have time to take pictures now.

so.

Chen Ping is going to let Wu Jin go to the army to train for a year.

A year later, Chen Ping was almost ready.

…

"Nan Nan, I'm back."

"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to stay out for a while? How about it? How's the fundraising going?"

"well……"

Returning from Hengcheng, Wu Jing pretended to have a sad look on his face.

Xie Nan sighed: "You are still very ambitious. You are good at making TV series. You always want to make movies."

"No matter how good the TV series is, it can only be like this. There is no upper limit for movies."

"There is no upper limit, so have you found anyone to invest?"

"Well……"

Seeing Wu Jin's embarrassed look, Xie Nan said, "Okay, let's not mention this anymore. Let's eat."

"Okay, let's eat."

"Hey, why are you acting strange today?"

"What's weird?"

"It seems like you are hiding something from me."

"Where is it?"

"I don't know what you're thinking. Tell me quickly...or you won't even get any food."

"Yes, my dear wife."

At this moment, Wu Jin smiled: "Let me tell you, the funds have been raised."

"Okay, you... you actually tried to lie to me just now. You have made great progress."

Xie Nan is coming to fight Wu Jin.

But she was also very curious: "Who voted for it? Didn't you say before that no one would be interested?"

Xie Nan, who is also an insider, knows.

Movies with military themes are really rare and rare.

Not only are they rare, but they are also very risky. Almost none of them in China are profitable.

So before Wu Jin said he wanted to make a military-themed movie, a group of investors rejected it outright.

Unexpectedly, there are still people who dare to vote.

Even she herself, if speaking from reason, would not do it.

The reason why she still supports Wu Jin is that she just wants to be a good wife.

Even though she knew she had failed, she wanted to play a role that silently supported her husband from behind.

"You might be shocked if you say it."

"Who, which big company?"

"It's not a big company. These big companies almost kicked me out."

"Is that a small company?"

"Small companies are not interested in my ideas either."

"Who is that?"

"Chen Ping."

Wu Jin looked excited.

"Chen Ping?"

Xie Nan was stunned: "No, he is willing to invest."

This made Xie Nan almost unable to believe it.

Of course she knew Chen Ping.

But Chen Ping, like Wu Jin, is an actor.

Although both of them made some money, compared to those investors, it was nothing.

In the industry, although there are some actors who invest in filming, they are relatively few.

Because the more you understand the industry, the more you know the risks in this industry.

Not to mention this kind of military-themed movie.

"Chen Ping doesn't seem to have much money."

Xie Nan asked in disbelief.

"It's true that he doesn't have much money, but he made a fortune by investing in a movie called Yitian Gaiden before."

"Old Wu, I thought you were quite honest before, but I didn't expect that you are still thinking about this fund."

"I have no choice. Besides, he was the one who told me that there is great potential for military themes... If I didn't look for him, who would I look for?"

"Why do I feel like you deceived me like this back then?"

"No matter how I lie, I moved you with my sincerity."

"So numb."

Xie Nan couldn't bear it and quickly shouted stop.

"Then he agreed?"

"Um."

"So how many did he vote for?"

"50000000."

"This has almost wiped out his wealth."

"Roughly the same."

Looking at Xie Nan's expression, Wu Jin knew what he wanted to say.

Then he rushed to say: "Don't look at me like this, I didn't trick him."

"They said it was not a scam, but they emptied everyone's money. I said to Lao Wu, if you want to make a military-themed movie, you can do it yourself, even if we sell houses or something, there is no need to involve others in this way. It would be fine if the box office can make back the money, but if it fails...it will cost the whole family."

"I know."

Wu Jin also nodded: "The reason why I approached Chen Ping was not because I was worried about Chen Ping's funds. In the industry, I think his vision is one of the best. Not to mention actors like us, even with directors. , compared with producers and investors, his vision is not bad. Otherwise, if he makes one hit and the other hits, is it all acting?"

Regarding this, Xie Nan also nodded.

In film and television, acting is one aspect.

But in many cases, your film and television dramas may become popular even if your acting skills are good.

Many times, you have to receive a drama that suits you, and you have to receive a film that is recognized by the market.

At this point, it is not something that ordinary actors can do.

Even the superstars have made many movies, but they are not popular.

Because many times, they receive dramas that are not suitable for them and that do not meet the market.

"This time I specifically talked to Chen Ping in Hengcheng. Chen Ping meant that since he wants to play, he should play more seriously. He made me a request."

"any request?"

"Let me go to the army to train for a year."

"To the military camp?"

"Yes, what he meant was that since he was going to make a military movie, there's nothing wrong with not looking like a soldier. Previously, I played the role of a special soldier, which was quite popular. But to be honest, many people also criticized me for not looking like a soldier. . Movies are much more difficult than TV. If you want to make a good military-themed movie, you don’t have to have the temperament of a soldier."

"So, you agreed?"

"Well, I know some people in the army. I want to join the army as a recruit for one year of training. Wife, do you support me?"

Holding Xie Nan's hand, Wu Jin felt a little uneasy.

Xie Nan rolled her eyes at Wu Jin: "You have already decided and you still ask me."

"I don't want to cheat Chen Ping. What you just said is right. Our investment is our business. Even if we sell iron and houses at a loss, it is still our business. Since Chen Ping has invested money, we can't cheat him at all. Got him."

"Okay, hurry up and report to the army tomorrow."

"Wow, wife, you agree?"

"How can I disagree?"

"Long live my wife."

Immediately, Wu Jin picked up his wife...

…

"Chen Ping, I'm going to the army now."

"Ah, so fast?"

"I have long had a dream of being a soldier. It never came true before. Now I can make up for my regret. Besides, I also want to shoot our film as soon as possible. Go to the military camp as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible. Your 50 million, But leave it to me."

"Don't worry, the day you come out of the military camp will be the day when we film Wolf Warriors."

"Good brother, I'm going. Don't contact me this year. I will naturally call you after one year."

"OK."

Chen Ping hung up the phone.

Wu Jin is indeed an iron-blooded man.

If you say you want to go to the army, you go to the army, and you stay there for a year.

There aren't many stars like him in the industry.

Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Yu came with a stack of notices.

"Chen Ping, this is the announcement for the last two months."

"There are still announcements."

"Although you and Sheng Teng have reached an agreement to create a new studio, after all, there are still two months left, and you are making so much money, the last two months cannot be wasted."

"That makes sense. What announcements are there?"

Although Chen Ping made a few remarks.

But Chen Ping can also be regarded as an actor with a strong sense of contract.

Since you have signed a contract, you must act according to the contract.

Even if he reaches an agreement with Sheng Teng to establish a new studio, Chen Ping will still fulfill his contractual responsibilities before the contract expires.

"I'm a singer and The Voice wants to invite you to the show."

"Be a judge?"

"As a singer, I am a challenge singer, and on The Voice, I am a judge. However, the cycle of The Voice may be a bit long... Sheng Teng means that you can choose one of the two programs."

"Then, I'm a singer."

The program "I Am a Singer" is relatively simple and does not require many recording sessions.

If you don't want to participate at that time, just sing a few times and you will be eliminated soon.

Having a good voice takes too much time. Chen Ping mainly wants to act.

"That's okay."

Wu Yu nodded: "But, since I'm a singer, you have to record a few more times. Don't be eliminated so quickly."

"no problem."

Chen Ping nodded.

Since he was participating in the show, he was eliminated within two episodes, which was not in line with Chen Ping's style.

"Also, there is a movie I want you to audition for."

"Audition?"

Chen Ping thought he heard wrongly: "No way?"

With Chen Ping's current status as a celebrity, he still needs to audition?

It seemed like he hadn't heard the word audition for a long time.

During this period, most of the decisions were made internally.

Often even before the crew is established, it has already been decided.

For example, Fa Hai in Green Snake, Hou Liangping in People's Righteousness, Xiao Ma in A Hero's True Colors...

Where are the auditions.

"Haha, you can't audition."

Seeing that Chen Ping was a little surprised, Wu Yu smiled and said: "This drama is not owned by Sheng Teng, but Sheng Teng has some connections. They happened to have a role that they had not decided on, so they asked you to audition. If you don't want to go , that’s fine too.”

"What movie?"

Although there were some surprises, Chen Ping did not refuse.

Whether it is an audition or not, as long as the film is good and the role is suitable, Chen Ping is willing to do it.

Just like Ma Ge is the third male lead in A Better Tomorrow, and Chen Ping is willing to play the role.

"Infernal Affairs."

"What?"

Upon hearing this name, Chen Ping stood up immediately.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Wu Yu said a little strangely.

"What movie did you just say?"

"Infernal Affairs."

"Is the director Liu Weiqiang?"

"yes."

"Where's the script?"

"Uh... there's no complete script, just a short paragraph... I'll send it to you."

While saying that, Wu Yu took out her mobile phone and sent a script to Chen Ping.

This script is a few lines of the character Chen Yongren.

Looking at this line, Chen Ping calmed himself down.

He didn't expect that.

The one who asked him to audition turned out to be Infernal Affairs.

No wonder he was asked to audition.

To know.

There are a lot of big guys here.

There is also the king of heaven Andy Lau and Liang Chao.

wrong.

It seems that this line belongs to Chen Yongren, so Liang Chaowei may not be determined yet.

That is to say.

Chen Ping may replace Chen Yongren played by Liang Chaowei.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping became even more excited.

Compared to the character Liu Jianming in Infernal Affairs, Chen Ping naturally likes Chen Yongren more.

That sentence, "I'm sorry, I'm a policeman"... Even now, it still makes people sigh.

Moreover, it can be said.

Infernal Affairs is the pinnacle of police and gangster movies in Hong Kong.

Even in the past few decades, Hong Kong has still produced a series of police and gangster movies, none of which can surpass Infernal Affairs.

even.

The film was also adapted into Hollywood and won a series of Oscars.

"Chen Ping, have you paid attention to this film?"

Seeing that Chen Ping seemed to know the film very well, Wu Yu asked.

"I've known about it before."

This is not a lie either.

Although Infernal Affairs has only recently begun casting, there has been news about Infernal Affairs before.

In order to be more sure of the news, Chen Ping asked: "What roles have been decided now?"

"It seems that Liu Jianming, the male lead, will be played by Andy Lau."

"Chen Yongren is the second male?"

"It's still the male lead. This seems to be a drama with two male protagonists."

"Hmm...what else?"

"If anything, for the role of Chen Yongren, I not only notified you to audition, but also notified others. Your biggest competitor is Liang Chaowei."

"I go……"

Chen Ping had a headache.

did not expect.

Liang Chaowei also went to audition.

In this way, the difficulty is not small.

"Wu Yu, what's the company's idea? Liang Chaowei has already auditioned. Is there a chance if I go?"

Although Chen Ping's current celebrity status is already very high, he can be said to be at the top of the Mainland.

But compared with Liang Chaowei and the others, they were still far behind.

Moreover, Liu Dehua has already been chosen for the role of Liu Jianming, so they will most likely consider Liang Chaowei.

Since they are two heroes, then choosing an actor who matches Andy Lau will be interesting.

If you choose Chen Ping.

Let’s not talk about acting skills, there are quite a lot of differences in terms of talent.

"Anyway, if you go to the audition, even if you don't get selected, it won't be any trouble for you."

Wu Yu also felt that Chen Ping didn't have much chance in this audition, but since it was an audition.

If you don’t go, you’ll have absolutely no chance.

If you go there, you still have some hope.

"Okay, I get it."

After Wu Yu left, Chen Ping recalled the plot of Infernal Affairs.

Even after decades, Chen Ping still remembers this drama very clearly.

It can be said that this drama is the pinnacle of Andy Lau and Tony Leung, as well as the pinnacle of police and gangster movies in Hong Kong.

This drama not only broke away from the police and gangster mode of killing and shooting in Xiangjiang, but also pioneered the creation of the word "infinite".

And no doubt.

In this.

The performances of Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei are very exciting.

certainly.

This does not mean that Chen Ping's acting skills are not as good as those of the two.

By now, Chen Ping's acting skills have reached a very high level.

Even in a PK with Zhou Xingchi, he is still not at a disadvantage, and may even surpass him.

But in Infernal Affairs, Chen Ping may not be able to surpass Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei.

As for the reason.

That is.

Liang Chaowei and Andy Lau came across a film that suited them extremely well.

In other words, Infernal Affairs seems to be created for two people.

Originally, the two's acting skills were very high, and their compatibility was so high.

Then, once the two of them start filming, the effect he shows can definitely bring their respective acting skills to a peak.

This is when a good actor meets a good character, and then he will create a chemical reaction... his acting skills will explode dozens of times.

If you really want to win the role of Chen Yongren, you really have to work hard.
