Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Excuse me, Chen, what role did you play in The Lord of the Rings?"

"Elven Prince Legolas."

"Oh, I like your role as the Elf Prince so much."

"Thank you, but this is just a small supporting role."

"No, in my mind, he is definitely not a supporting character. Without him, The Lord of the Rings would have no soul."

"He's really just a supporting character."

"Well, even if he is a small supporting role, he is also the most outstanding supporting role. By the way, your archery moves are so cool. Have you ever practiced archery?"

"I've been practicing for a while."

"No wonder your archery posture is so standard..."

Yes.

Chen Ping didn't expect it either.

The little elf he played became instantly popular in a three-minute promotional video.

Although this promotional video only has one shot of Chen Ping.

but……

Even with just one shot, Chen Ping's appearance, Chen Ping's temperament, Chen Ping's eyes... attracted countless people immediately.

This also makes Chen Ping just come to Hollywood to go through the motions.

But.

By accident, Chen Ping became the most popular character at the Lord of the Rings press conference.

This also surprised and delighted Director Peter.

Although he knew that Chen Ping didn't have many roles.

But that doesn't matter.

As long as the audience likes it, that's fine.

immediately.

When reporters from the media asked questions from time to time, Peter said from time to time: "Yes, it was Chen Ping who I personally auditioned for."

"You know, when I just glanced at Chen Ping, he decided that he was the elf prince."

"Appearance is only a part of Chen Ping. What I like most is Chen Ping's acting skills."

"Oh, let me tell you a secret. Chen Ping is not married yet, and he doesn't seem to have a girlfriend yet..."

"Haha... If you want to see Chen Ping's glory, then come and watch "The Lord of the Rings". I believe that Chen Ping will not disappoint you."

A Lord of the Rings press conference was an unprecedented success.

This succeeded.

One is the influence of Lord of the Rings.

After all, it is adapted from The Lord of the Rings, which is one of the biggest IPs in Europe and America.

another.

The Lord of the Rings is well-made.

He perfectly presented the world of Middle-earth to everyone in an atmospheric and epic... lens.

the last one.

That is Chen Ping, who is responsible for good looks.

certainly.

In fact, among the Lord of the Rings, there are a few with relatively good looks.

For example, Vigo plays Aragorn.

But Vigo is handsome, but he has a beard.

Some people do like it, but it's not popular with the public.

Another example is Wei Wen, who plays the elf lord.

The elf lord he plays is also very good-looking and has an elf temperament.

But Vivian is a little older.

And Sean who plays Boromir.

Although Sean has good looks, he feels a bit cold and even arrogant.

Only Chen Ping.

Whether it's appearance or temperament...it's all fascinating.

Especially Chen Ping.

Just by looking at him, you will feel that there is an extremely noble aura about Chen Ping.

Although this kind of nobility may seem a bit superior, it is not at all arrogant.

This kind of aloofness is just the aristocratic spirit reflected in the body.

If you don’t know, you really think that Chen Ping is a prince or a duke of a certain country.

In addition, there are Chen Ping’s eyes.

The occasional glimmer of blue light is like an elf appearing in reality.

…

certainly.

Chen Ping's sudden popularity in Hollywood shocked the domestic and Hong Kong media.

"Everyone, everyone, big news, big news."

"What's the big news?"

"Chen Ping is popular in Hollywood."

"No way?"

"Why not? Look at some media reports in Europe and the United States. Oh my god, they all regard Chen Ping as the most potential Hollywood superstar."

Fans who were paying attention to Chen Ping were stunned.

When they checked, it was true.

Chen Ping is not only popular in Hollywood, but also extremely popular.

"Oh my God, why is Chen Ping so popular?"

"Didn't you read the reports? He became famous because of his role as the elf prince in the promotional video."

"But he only has one scene in the promotional video."

"Yes, with just one shot, Chen Ping became famous."

As for why one shot can become popular.

What else could there be.

It’s Chen Ping’s damn good looks.

"Have you noticed that Chen Ping's appearance seems to have improved again?"

"Is it improved? Why didn't I notice it?"

"Yeah, it feels the same as before."

Many people stared at Chen Ping's photos, but they didn't seem to notice any changes in Chen Ping.

But there are many friends who have been in Europe and the United States who said: "It may be difficult for many Chinese people to see it, but for European and American people, he must know it."

"not understand."

"To put it simply, let's give an example. Chen Ping has always been very good-looking, right?"

"right."

"But in the past, no matter how good Chen Ping's appearance was, he would only be popular in Asia at most. Once he went to Europe, America, or other regions, they would not think of Chen Ping's appearance."

"That's because of cultural and racial differences."

"Yes. So, in other words, what we think is handsome may not be considered handsome by Europeans and Americans. But now Chen Ping's appearance is getting more and more advanced. This advanced thing is that not only do we feel Chen Ping’s looks are so handsome that even European and American people feel that Chen Ping’s looks are incredible.”

"Damn it, is there such a thing?"

This statement made many people somewhat clear.

Because they were a little confused before, how could Chen Ping become so popular?

Could it be that Europeans and Americans are also interested in handsome guys from the East?

Looking at it now, this is not the case.

"Damn it, don't tell me, I feel like Chen Ping's appearance is getting better and better now."

"Well, it seems that the appearance has not changed, but the temperament and other aspects have been greatly improved."

"My dear, let's put it this way, Chen Ping is going to conquer Hollywood."

This statement made everyone excited.

To know.

There are really not many domestic actors who can conquer Hollywood.

In other words, Chen Long is doing better.

Others are just average.

inside.

To a large extent, many people believe that this has something to do with the appearance of Chinese people.

The appearance of Chinese people does not mean that they are not handsome.

But European and American Westerners really can’t appreciate this handsomeness.

Not to mention Chen Long, Li Lianjie.

Even if a handsome guy like Liang Chaowei is put in Hollywood, they don't think Liang Chaowei is so handsome.

But it's different now.

Once Chen Ping's appearance can be recognized by Hollywood and Western media.

So.

With Chen Ping's acting skills... Chen Ping has a high probability of being able to make it in Hollywood.

"Tsk, tsk, I am mighty."

"I'm awesome."

"It seems that I will be able to dominate Hollywood from now on."

"I'll go and conquer them all..."

"Necessary..."

…

"Chen Ping, I am the business manager of MGM Films."

"Chen Ping, hello, I am the Director of Columbia Artists Department."

"Chen...I am a film producer from Universal Pictures..."

Chen Ping's sudden popularity in Hollywood quickly attracted the attention of many Hollywood film and television companies.

Almost the next day.

The eight major Hollywood film and television companies called Chen Ping one after another to discuss specific cooperation details.

Although it has not yet been revealed which movie he is participating in, the series of extremely tempting blockbusters on the phone are still very exciting.

certainly.

In addition to these film and television companies, there are also a series of Hollywood brokerage companies.

Because Chen Ping didn't want to stay in Hollywood for a long time, he didn't sign with a brokerage company.

Although it is true that many brokerage companies want to sign Chen Ping.

After all, Chen Ping is a superstar in China, so it is okay to sign him.

But at that time, one was that the conditions offered by the major brokerage companies were not very good, and the other was that the brokerage company that had been more interested in Chen Ping was not large in scale.

But this time it was different.

In addition to the substantial improvement in conditions and benefits compared to the original, the three major Hollywood agencies also extended an olive branch to Chen Ping.

However, Chen Ping did not sign the contract so quickly.

His popularity is just the beginning.

If you want to get better treatment and conditions, there is nothing wrong with waiting for a while.

for example.

Waiting for Lord of the Rings to be released globally.

Chen Ping believes it.

After The Lord of the Rings is released globally, the conditions and treatment he receives will go up to a higher level.

to this end.

Before leaving Hollywood, Chen Ping invited Jet Li and Chen Long to dinner again.

Looking at Chen Ping's recent popularity, Jet Li and Chen Long both said with envy: "Chen Ping, we are all jealous of you. I didn't expect that you only acted in one movie in Hollywood and you became so popular all of a sudden. .”

"He's handsome, but there's nothing he can do about it."

Chen Ping smiled and said.

"Get out of here..."

This made Li Lianjie very angry: "You think I'm not handsome enough?"

"Of course Brother Jie is handsome."

Chen Ping quickly begged for mercy from Li Lianjie, but then added another sentence: "But there is still a little difference with me."

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

Chen Long burst out laughing at Chen Ping's words: "Absolutely."

"Okay, I won't compete with you in handsomeness."

Chen Long is self-aware.

Not to mention his appearance abroad, even in China, few people say that Chen Long is handsome.

However, Chen Long knew that his advantage was not in his appearance.

As soon as the fight was over, the three of them sat down.

Li Lianjie asked with concern whether Chen Ping had signed a contract with a brokerage company and his future plans.

Chen Long brought a message to Chen Ping, saying that there was a role for Chen Ping, and he didn't know if Chen Ping was willing to take it.

Chen Ping asked what role it was.

Chen Long said: "This character is the third male lead and a villain."

"There is no problem with the male number 3. The main thing is the quality of the film."

Chen Ping is actually very clear about his current situation.

Even though the eight major film and television companies and the three major brokerage companies in Hollywood are all flocking to him, this is just the surface.

If Chen Ping wants to strive for better conditions and treatment in Hollywood, he still needs to have a few good roles.

The elf prince Legolas is just one of them.

Chen Ping also needs to play a few characters that people can remember at a glance.

so.

Only later would Chen Ping have room to negotiate with them.

so.

Although he was the third male, Chen Ping did not refuse.

What he cares most about is the quality of the film.

after all.

Even though Hollywood is a producer of blockbusters, it also produces a series of junk movies.

It’s just that many Chinese people haven’t seen it.

What more Chinese people have seen are Hollywood's outstanding works.

"I'm not sure about the quality of the film, because Director Yuan and I had a phone call and wanted to ask what you meant."

"Director Yuan?"

Chen Ping was a little surprised: "Director Yuan, which Director Yuan?"

"Is there any director Yuan in Xiangjiang?"

"It can't be Yuan Zhi."

"Who is it if it's not him?"

"I'll go, Yuan Zhi also came to Hollywood?"

The Director Yuan mentioned by Chen Long is Yuan Heping, also known as Yuan Zhi, a famous martial arts instructor in Xiangjiang.

Li Lianjie also knew what Chen Long said, saying: "I called Yuan Zhi the best in the world before, but Yuan Zhi said that he has not even left the country, so how can he talk about being the best in the world? Recently, there is an opportunity, and there is a movie in Hollywood The movie wanted to hire Yuan Zhi as a martial arts director, so he hired Yuan Zhi.”

"Yes."

Chen Long also nodded: "The Hollywood Wachowski brothers watched Lian Jie's Jing Wu Heroes at that time and admired the kung fu in it very much. It just so happened that Yuan Zhi was the martial artist of Jing Wu Heroes, so this time we asked Yuan Zhi to point out Mountain."

"OK."

Chen Ping also nodded at such news: "We actors are going to challenge Hollywood, and martial arts actors can also come to Hollywood."

"That's what we thought too."

Chen Long and Li Lianjie also nodded: "So, Yuan Zhi asked you if you are interested."

"What's the name of this movie?"

After thinking about it, Chen Ping still asked.

Although he already had some idea in his mind that this should be a very classic movie.

However, to be on the safe side, Chen Ping still asked.

"It seems to be called The Matrix."

"The Matrix."

Hearing the name, Chen Ping nodded directly: "Okay, reply to Director Yuan, I agree."

It is indeed The Matrix.

This drama is another Hollywood classic.

Even if he plays the third male role in it, Chen Ping is willing to do it.

"Great, I'll tell Director Yuan about it later."

"OK."

Chen Ping nodded: "However, I don't have time to shoot for the time being. I have to wait for the release of Lord of the Rings for a while."

"It's necessary, and we're also looking forward to the performance of Lord of the Rings."

At this point, Li Lianjie and Chen Long raised their glasses, congratulated Chen Ping and said, "Then let's have a drink."

"cheers."

…

A week later.

"The Lord of the Rings", which has already caused a sensation all over the world, is finally released.

This time Lord of the Rings adopts a simultaneous global premiere model.

Europe, America, Asia, Hong Kong, including mainland China.

An epic blockbuster has begun.

"Old man, let's go see Lord of the Rings tonight."

"OK, I already bought the tickets."

"Me too, it's okay, but I can't buy it even if it's a bit worse."

"Damn it, I just didn't buy a ticket."

"Don't worry, I'll give you the spoilers after reading it."

"Get out of here and kill the spoiler."

…

"Hey, brothers, let's go watch Chen Ping's new drama later."

"Lord of the Rings?"

"What other one is there besides this one?"

"It seems that Chen Ping is not the lead actor, he is the male number 5."

"So what if he is the fifth male lead? I just came to see Chen Ping. Moreover, even if Chen Ping is the fifth male lead, he is already popular in Hollywood."

"It seems that the promotion of Lord of the Rings has also changed, saying that Chen Ping is also one of the starring roles."

"Hahaha, it can still be like this."

"That's why Chen Ping is so popular. In addition, director Peter also said that Lord of the Rings will be a trilogy. In the second and third parts of the future, Chen Ping's scenes will increase significantly."

"Holy shit, this is like Hollywood star treatment."

"Anyway, let's go watch it together tonight."

…

"Oh my god, this is Chen Ping Smita."

"Chen Ping Smida actually went to Hollywood."

"I like Chen Ping Smita."

"Tonight, I must go see Chen Ping Smita's The Lord of the Rings..."

…

Yes.

As an epic blockbuster, The Lord of the Rings.

Whether in North America, Asia, Hong Kong, or the Mainland.

He has huge appeal.

That night.

Countless audiences and movie fans have already bought movie tickets and entered the cinema.

"It's been an amazing adventure."

"This is Middle-earth at its most enchanting."

"Of course, there's also the epic story."

Watching the appearance of Middle-earth on the big screen, people were instantly immersed in it.

"Oh my god, it's wonderful."

"This scene is worth the movie ticket."

"Yes, this scene is too grand and huge."

certainly.

Chen Ping's appearance did not disappoint.

As the Elf Prince, Legolas first appeared at the Rivendell Meeting.

Although it was just a meeting.

But the elf prince played by Chen Ping once again captured people with his peerless good looks and noble temperament.

It is different from the previous three-minute promotional video.

The three-minute promotional video only has one shot, so people can't see it clearly.

but now.

The extremely real Chen Ping appeared in front of everyone.

He is more handsome and charming than the elf prince in the promotional video.

"Beautiful, this is the elf in my mind."

"I can't wait to pledge myself to you."

"Forget it, there are too many people who want to commit themselves to him."

When Chen Ping appeared, the female audience in the cinema suddenly became excited.

Even those male viewers have to admit that Chen Ping's appearance is indeed incredible.

but.

The elf prince played by Chen Ping did not attract them by his looks.

In the rest of the Fellowship of the Ring, the elf prince played by Chen Ping became the most important attacker in the team.

Every time an arrow is fired, it will inevitably take away the life of an orc.

What shocked everyone in the cinema the most was Chen Ping’s sapphire eyes.

Chen Ping at this time.

In the camera lens, the elf prince played by Chen Ping is like a god-like figure.

As he looked around, the incomparable darkness slowly opened, and everything came into Chen Ping's field of vision.

As soon as this shot came out, countless viewers screamed with excitement.

"Ahhhh..."

"Ahhhh..."

"Honey, how about we role-play tonight?"

"Okay, what do you want to play?"

"I play myself."

"And me?"

"You play Chen Ping, the elf prince."

"Fuck..."

…

At the same time.

The global box office of The Lord of the Rings has also refreshed people's outlook time and time again.

100000000.

200000000.

300 million.

Please note.

This is not RMB.

Behind this unit of hundreds of millions is the US dollar.

Converted into RMB, the box office of Lord of the Rings is already 2.4 billion.

But that's not the end of it.

$400 million.

$500 million.

$600 million.

$700 million.

$800 million.

finally.

The global box office of Lord of the Rings exceeded US$870 million.

Converted into RMB, that is 7 billion RMB, which is a shock to the world.
