Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Bourne, we agreed to advance and retreat together."

"Reeves, I'm just the third male lead. I don't have much weight with the director. It doesn't matter whether I say anything or not."

"You bastard, go to hell."

"Don't say that, you are the number one male after all. Even if we can't get rid of Chen Ping, no one will dare to touch your role."

"snort……"

With a snap, Reeves hung up the phone.

He really didn't expect it.

Originally, he wanted to drive Chen Ping away, but unexpectedly, Bourne, who was advancing and retreating with him, actually rebelled.

certainly.

Whether Bourne rebels or not is irrelevant.

Because right now.

After The Matrix was released, he discovered that a series of favorable comments about Chen Ping continued to appear.

"Tsk, tsk, I knew Chen Ping's acting skills were great, he is really amazing."

"Compared to Reeves, the agent played by Chen Ping is much better."

"I love the sentient agent, Reeves is just a face bust."

Looking at these comments, Reeves raised his middle finger at the screen.

He has been in Hollywood for decades, and no actor from China can compare.

Say it again.

He plays the male lead.

Chen Ping plays nothing more than a villain.

but.

Reeves is no dummy either.

After failing to force him to have a baby, Reeves also understood that Chen Ping did seem to attract a lot of people.

For his own future, Reeves made a phone call.

"Director, I am Reeves."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"That's right, director, you know me. I like to drink. I drank a lot a few days ago, so I said some things that I shouldn't have said. But I want to say that these are not my true words. , I apologize to you."

"Really? I didn't hear anything you shouldn't have said."

"Great, director, when will the second part of The Matrix start?"

"Sorry, The Matrix Part 2 has nothing to do with you anymore."

"Ah, director, please listen to my explanation, explain..."

Facing Reeves.

Director Watrous didn't listen to what Reeves had to say and hung up the phone directly.

Moreover, Reeves' phone number was also put on the blacklist.

Yes.

How about not Wachros.

A few days ago, Reeves threatened him, and he couldn't stand it.

Originally, when he was filming The Matrix, he didn't want to use Reeves.

Because he felt that Reeves had no acting skills and his reputation was a bit outdated.

But later on, the funds were really limited, so he was used.

I thought that this guy would learn a lesson from the explosion of The Matrix and the two of them could continue to work together well.

Unexpectedly, he started to threaten him as soon as he got angry.

As a director, if he is threatened by an actor, how can he make films in the future?

Although changing the male lead does have a lot of impact on the sequel.

But Wadros also read the comments from fans, and everyone thought Reeves' acting skills were not very good.

and.

Obviously everyone is more interested in the agent played by Chen Ping.

If Reeves didn't seek death before, maybe everyone would continue to cooperate.

But he threatened her with death, sorry... If I change the male lead, I will change the male lead.

In Hollywood, there are so many sequels that replace the male lead, and I don't care about him.

…

"Chen, I want to talk to you about the filming of the sequel to The Matrix."

"OK."

A few days later, director Watrous found Chen Ping.

Chen Ping did not refuse.

The Matrix trilogy, each one is a classic.

Although Chen Ping plays the villain in it, the agent he plays is a super villain from the first to the third and even the fourth film.

And in terms of performance, Chen Ping thinks the agent he plays is more interesting.

On the contrary, as the savior, Neo has little room for performance.

"What are your thoughts on Pianchi?"

Looking at Chen Ping, Watros liked Chen Ping very much as an actor.

This actor not only has amazing acting skills.

Moreover, the sequels to The Matrix were also influenced by him to a certain extent.

"Director, your arrangement is that my film stakes in Hollywood are not high."

"That was before."

Watrous shook his head: "You are quite popular now. Moreover, many people are very interested in the agent you play."

"Thanks."

"Why don't I make a price?"

After thinking for a while, Wachros said, "$15 million."

Chen Ping was a little shocked: "15 million US dollars?"

He really didn't expect that Watros would offer such a price.

"Director, is this price too high?"

$15 million.

Converted into RMB, that is 120 million chips.

In other words, as long as he makes a movie, Chen Ping can get more than 100 million.

Just ask.

domestic.

Sometimes it is very difficult for a film to break 100 million box office.

"Haha, although 15 million U.S. dollars is high, it also includes the ideas you gave me before. Moreover, I think it may not be long before your film funds in the future may be more than 15 million U.S. dollars."

Wadros had a gut feeling.

He felt that the Chen Ping in front of him would become a Hollywood superstar in the future.

If you want to say the reason.

It's actually very simple.

Take a look at Chen Ping's movies released in Hollywood. Almost every one of them has exceeded US$200 million at least.

also.

The Lord of the Rings he starred in has a global box office of around US$1 billion.

Now he stars in The Matrix, a film he directed, which is worth another billion US dollars.

Is this really just his luck?

not necessarily.

in addition.

Wachros knew it.

In a while, Chen Ping will have another film to be released.

"dark Knight."

If this movie breaks 1 billion US dollars, I'm afraid all the directors in Hollywood will want to grab Chen Ping.

…

"Chen Ping, congratulations."

"Brother Ping, congratulations, congratulations."

Hollywood.

Chen Long and Li Lianjie both raised their glasses and congratulated Chen Ping.

But for what Li Lianjie said about Pingdi, Chen Ping felt a chill: "Brother Jie, don't talk about whether Pingdi is good or not. When you say Pingdi, I feel a little chilly in my lower body."

"I just want to make you feel cold. You kid... you've been very hot lately."

Chen Long said with some envy: "I have been in Hollywood for so many years, and the highest box office has only been more than 400 million US dollars. It's better for you. Before, you played The Lord of the Rings, and the global box office was more than 900 million US dollars. Now The Matrix, it is another 1 billion US dollars. Box office. If you continue like this, we will all be embarrassed."

Li Lianjie on the other side also said: "I heard that The Matrix is ​​going to make a sequel. There is a lot of gossip in it."

"Well, there's no gossip."

"Why don't you gossip? Reeves wanted to push you away, but unexpectedly, instead of pushing you away, Reeves was eliminated. Hahaha... Do you know, when I heard the news? At that time, we didn’t know how happy we were. Chen Ping, with you, you can help us Chinese actors breathe a sigh of relief."

With that said, the two toasted again.

Chen Ping also understood this.

It's not easy for domestic actors in Hollywood.

Don't talk about others.

Chen Long and Li Lianjie also had a hard time.

In Hollywood, there is no shortage of criticism.

Now that Chen Ping was able to gain so much respect from the Chinese people, the two of them felt the same way, feeling extremely refreshed all over their bodies.

"By the way, Chen Ping, how much money do you have for the second part of The Matrix?"

"1500 dollars."

"15 million is not much."

Li Lianjie shook his head.

But Chen Long said: "Xiaojie, you are stupid, this is 15 million US dollars."

Seeing Chen Ping nodded.

Li Lianjie was stunned.

Then, the two of them shouted in unison: "I'm stupid."

Yes.

If it were said that the two of them were just a little envious of Chen Ping before.

So.

When the $15 million film funding came out, both of them were somewhat shocked by Chen Ping.

To know.

Although Chen Long's role in "The Cutting Edge" performed well, Chen Long only received US$6 million for the film.

Although Chen Long's film financing has now exceeded 10 million U.S. dollars, reaching a maximum of 13 million U.S. dollars, it has not yet reached 15 million U.S. dollars.

As for Li Lianjie.

All are under $10 million.

Facing Chen Ping's box office of US$15 million, Jackie Chan and Jet Li looked at each other and said, "Should we retire and go home?"

"Well, you don't want to be in Hollywood anymore?"

"You are still fooling around, how can you fool around? I was also a big brother before. If Chen Ping's information is passed back, we will lose face."

"What should we do?"

"Otherwise...we will give this kid to..."

Chen Long made a gesture of touching his neck.

This idea was approved by Li Lianjie.

The two of them biued, but they both grabbed Chen Ping's neck.

"Hero, please spare my life."

"Hero..."

Chen Ping shouted for mercy.

After a while, the two of them let Chen Ping go.

but.

Although it's a joke.

But after joking, the two gave Chen Ping a thumbs up.

…

The high box office of the first part of The Matrix meant that the second part of The Matrix was soon launched.

Chen Ping plays the former agent.

Following the first one.

Because the agent first killed Male No. 1.

In the end, he was killed by Male No. 1.

This doesn't make sense logically.

As a result, the system cannot run at this time, and an error occurs in the entire system.

The agent also began to resurrect.

and.

The resurrected agent not only retains his sense of self, but also has higher authority.

He didn't just want to escape the mother's body, he thought about controlling the system.

It becomes more interesting and more performative.

As for the male lead, there was indeed a different actor.

Replaced by a more popular Hollywood actor, Vivian.

but.

Chen Ping doesn’t just play The Matrix Part 2, either.

After filming the second part of The Matrix, another blockbuster film found Chen Ping.

Lord of the Rings.

Yes.

Like The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings is also a trilogy.

Only one had been released before.

There is also a second and third part.

Chen Ping played the role of the elf prince in the first film. He attracted the attention of countless users with his good looks.

At this time, the Matrix he played became popular again.

As the director of Lord of the Rings, Peter, he had no reason not to use Chen Ping.

Not only to use.

and.

Peter also gave Chen Ping 15 million US dollars in film financing.

This price is high.

To know.

Chen Ping is only the number 5 male in Lord of the Rings.

But none of that matters.

One is that Chen Ping's appearance is indeed very good.

The other is that Chen Ping is also very good at acting.

There is still one.

I don’t know which gossip media regards Chen Ping as a lucky star in Hollywood.

As for why he was rated as a lucky star.

This is similar to the reason Wachs analyzed Chen Ping.

Chen Ping has appeared in a total of 6 movies in Hollywood.

Three of them are small-budget films that he directed and starred in, each costing at least US$200 million.

Many people think so.

In fact, these three movies are just like that. I thought they were quite interesting when I watched them, but after watching them, I felt they were simpler.

As for the hero.

Many people don't think what the movie Hero is about, but they just think the movie looks pretty beautiful.

The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix later...

Both films grossed around $1 billion at the box office.

Think about it in depth?

Could it be...

Are these movies really so awesome?

inside.

Aren't there some other factors?

then.

Some other factors turned out to be that Chen Ping was the lucky star.

Without Chen Ping, no matter how good these films are, they would not have such high box office.

Naturally, there is not much scientific basis for such a statement.

Some directors believe it.

But most directors don't believe it.

until.

When "The Dark Knight" is officially released.

…

It should be said.

Everyone sees that the Dark Knight is not going for Chen Ping.

Although Chen Ping has achieved a certain degree of popularity in Hollywood, this popularity is nothing compared to the super IP of Batman.

Yes.

The Dark Knight is actually the Batman movie series.

The previous Batman was once popular around the world, and this version of Batman is naturally extremely popular.

Many movie fans bought movie tickets early.

When the movie was officially played, they entered the cinema one after another.

only.

To their surprise.

This version of Batman seems a little different from the Batman they've seen before.

In the past, Batman has always been the incarnation of justice. He has a superior IQ and is extremely brave... He makes all opponents fearful.

But in "The Dark Knight", it is an exception.

The first scene in the movie is a group of people wearing clown masks going to rob a bank.

But this is no ordinary cop story.

In this wave of bank robberies, the real clown staged a scene of gangsterism.

And his method of taking advantage of others is also very simple.

He prepared six bags of money and divided them equally among the five clowns.

The result is.

In order to get an extra bag of money, a group of clowns chose to kill each other.

"Hey, this clown is interesting."

"It seems that this clown is a little neurotic, but it feels like he is acting very crazy."

"I seem to have discovered that this clown is played by Chen Ping."

"Chen...oh, that's him...I like his performance."

Everyone was watching and discussing in low voices.

If the clown who just appeared is just a small test of his skills.

So.

Next.

The clown played by Chen Ping began to control the gang step by step.

He doesn't have any great strength in terms of force.

but.

But through his calculation of people's hearts, he manipulated the entire Gotham City into applause.

He asked the gang to pay half of the money to hire himself to kill Batman.

Then, he used Batman's imitator to declare to the whole city that as long as Batman did not surrender, people would die every day in Gotham City.

even.

at the end.

He even tricked Gotham City's hero, the new Attorney General Harvey, into becoming Two-Face.

until.

When the movie ends.

A group of movie fans nodded their heads.

They are a little confused.

Aren’t you here to see Batman today?

Why, after watching it, they didn’t even know where Batman was.

The only thing imprinted in their minds is that crazy clown...
