Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Chapter 406:

"Mr. Chen, there are many reporters outside."

"Why are the reporters here?"

"Look, our "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has broken the record again. If these reporters don't come, it would be very disrespectful."

"have to……"

Chen Ping knows.

I could handle Shen Teng's phone calls last night, but I couldn't handle the interviews from these reporters.

However, this is normal.

Just as Wang Jinhua said, with such a broken record, these reporters will not stop unless they give Chen Ping a good interview.

Chen Ping knew he couldn't hide, so he walked out of the office.

Facing a group of reporters, Chen Ping pressed his hands and said: "Everyone comes one by one. I'm not going anywhere today. If you have anything, just ask."

Just say it.

One of the reporters responded quickly and raised his hand to ask: "Mr. Chen, the richest man in Xihong City has set a new record, with a box office of 260 million in one day. What do you think?"

"My thoughts, I didn't think much about it. I feel it's quite normal. I'm not surprised at the box office."

"So, Mr. Chen, did you expect that the single-day box office of the richest man in Xihong City would exceed 260 million?"

"No, my idea at the time was that the first-day box office must be 300 million. Looking at it now, it's still a little less."

"Here……"

Seeing Chen Ping's serious nonsense, the reporter who asked the question was speechless.

The other reporters laughed.

But they do know.

Chen Ping is obviously pretending to them.

but.

This pretense is so sophisticated that you can’t even say a word.

and.

But they know.

With the box office generated by the richest man in Xihong City, now is the time for him to pretend.

Subsequently.

Another reporter also raised his hand and asked: "So, many people predict that the total box office of the richest man in Xihong City will exceed 3 billion? This number is really terrifying. Many experts have not predicted this data before."

"The 3 billion yuan hasn't been released yet, and I don't know what the final box office will be. However, I want to say that if it really reaches 3 billion, 3 billion is actually not terrible. The Chinese market is so big and there is such a large population. It’s just the beginning now, if all Chinese people go to the cinema once in the future, our box office will be even higher.”

Then, another reporter asked: "The "Journey to the Road" series you produced, "Charlotte's Trouble", including the current "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the box office can be said to be higher than the previous one. Many people say that you have mastered the Box office password. Can you share it with everyone?"

"Hahaha, if it is a password, why would I share it? However, there is actually no password. The general direction is as mentioned before, the Chinese market has great potential. Not to mention the current 2 billion or 3 billion, in the future Even 4 billion or 5 billion is possible."

"Four billion, five billion, is this really going to happen one day?"

"certainly."

Chen Ping nodded: "Otherwise, I haven't even been to Hollywood in recent times, just in China. I think it won't take a few years for the size of our domestic film market to surpass Hollywood."

"still have a question."

Another reporter raised his hand and asked: "Actually, many people want to see movies starring you, but you have not starred in the last three movies. Many fans want to ask, will you always stay behind the scenes in the future?"

"Don't worry, everyone."

Regarding this, Chen Ping also explained: "I am an actor, so I can't let go of acting. There are no starring roles in these dramas. It's not that I don't want to act, mainly because I don't have much time. As you all know, I have acted in a lot of films. If I were to act in any drama, I would not be able to do anything else. But what I want to say is that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely appear in front of the camera."

"I'm looking forward to it... I think if you were to star, our box office wouldn't be able to exceed hundreds of millions."

"I am looking forward too."

Chen Ping nodded.

"By the way, Teacher Chen Ping, can you tell me about the Three Kingdoms movie that you starred in before?"

At this time.

A reporter asked about the New Three Kingdoms starring Chen Ping.

This drama is also the latest TV series starring Chen Ping.

Chen Ping nodded and said: "I want to tell you good news. The New Three Kingdoms will soon appear in front of everyone. Following the question just now, many people like to watch the movies and TV series starring me, and there are many of me in the New Three Kingdoms. scenes. Moreover, this is a TV series, so you don’t need to buy movie tickets.”

Why does Chen Ping also make TV series after making so many movies?

Nothing else, this is because of the people the TV series reaches.

Everyone in China can watch it, and there is no difficulty.

This is impossible to do in movies.

For this.

Chen Ping actually wanted to pave the way for himself in the future.

A box office of 2 billion or 3 billion is not Chen Ping's ambition.

Even if it is 4 billion or 5 billion, Chen Ping doesn't think anything about it.

What Chen Ping hopes to achieve is 10 billion.

But Chen Ping also knew.

A box office of 10 billion is really too difficult and almost impossible to achieve.

But who can say for sure on this matter.

so.

Before that, Chen Ping will try his best to make everyone in China pay attention to him.

So, how to do this.

Movie this is impossible.

No matter how awesome a movie is, no matter how high the box office is, it cannot be seen by everyone.

There is only one way.

That's a TV show.

If Chen Ping can convert a lot of fans of TV series into movie theaters.

So.

Even a box office of 10 billion is not impossible.

"Here we are also particularly grateful to Teacher Chen Ping."

Many reporters also admired this.

But they know.

Generally speaking, actors who have made a name for themselves in movies are not very good at making TV series.

Because filming a TV series takes a long time, and the film credits are not as much as those for a movie.

also.

Not everyone will go to the cinema either.

For example, many reporters’ parents.

It's not that they don't buy tickets for their parents, it's mainly because their parents are older and they don't like the atmosphere of the cinema.

This is not even possible.

For these old people, their best form of entertainment is TV series.

But this also creates an embarrassing phenomenon.

The more people watch a TV series, the more lesser-known actors are filming it.

The less you watch a movie, the more famous it is.

Good thing.

Chen Ping maintained the bottom line of the TV series.

This sense of responsibility is really not comparable to that of ordinary actors.

They believe it too.

As long as Chen Ping appears, countless audiences will stay in front of the TV for the first time.

and.

With Chen Ping's acting skills, watching his performance is more enjoyable than watching a movie.

Needless to say.

This time Chen Ping photographed the Three Kingdoms, one of the four famous novels.

"Teacher Chen Ping, what role do you play in New Three Kingdoms?"

"Cao Cao."

"Wow, this character is so charming. I look forward to your role as Cao Cao, Mr. Chen Ping."

"Thank you. But if the performance is not good, don't scold me."

"How could that be? If Mr. Chen Ping can't play Cao Cao well, then no one can play Cao Cao well."

…

Read the interview.

A group of reporters interviewed at Starlight Entertainment for more than two hours before leaving.

With the other side.

A few days later, Gao Xixi called Chen Ping.

"Chen Ping, are you free?"

"I've been free lately."

"I was afraid you wouldn't be free. Come on, let's go to CCTV."

"What are you doing at CCTV?"

"What else should I say? Of course it is to promote our New Three Kingdoms."

"Oh, our New Three Kingdoms is broadcast on CCTV?"

"That's right."

"How many sets?"

"CCTV 1 set."

"Director Xixi, this is awesome."

Let’s talk about the TV station with the highest ratings in the country.

Not Mango, not Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not Dongfang... let alone other TV stations.

But CCTV.

CCTV is far superior to other local TV stations in terms of ratings and influence.

As for the reason.

One is the coverage of CCTV.

In many places, other TV stations may not be able to receive it, but CCTV can definitely receive it.

The other is that the status is there.

CCTV, the name CCTV alone determines its influence.

"What's the matter? CCTV doesn't broadcast our drama for my sake."

"Then whose face is it?"

"I also want to say, of course it's you."

"I?"

"Of course it's you. With you as a super star, the Best Actor of the Hong Kong Film Awards, and three Hollywood movies that have exceeded 1 billion US dollars in a row... we don't need to go to CCTV at all. CCTV comes to talk to us directly. of."

"It seems that CCTV is quite discerning."

"You have to do it. Let's go, let's go... let's go together."

"no problem."

…

"Teacher Chen Ping, I thought you weren't coming?"

"Hello, Teacher Chen Ping."

"Teacher Chen Ping, long time no see."

In Beishi, Chen Ping met Gao Xixi and the actors of the New Three Kingdoms.

As soon as Chen Ping appeared, a group of actors greeted Chen Ping from time to time.

Chen Ping didn't put on airs and responded one by one.

"Director Xixi, what are you going to do for publicity?"

After exchanging polite words with everyone, Chen Ping asked Gao Xixi.

"After a while, CCTV has a program called "Art of Life", and we are the guests in this episode."

"oh."

Chen Ping nodded: "Did Teacher Zhu Jun preside over it?"

"No, this time it seems to be Teacher Sa Beining."

"Xiao Sa."

Chen Ping smiled.

Talk about it.

Chen Ping and Sa Beining have known each other for a long time.

Chen Ping had known Sa Beining before during the Chinese character dictation competition.

However, Chen Ping's reputation was average at that time, and Sa Beining was already a well-known host.

But even so.

Chen Ping eliminated all the contestants in that Chinese character dictation competition.

Just saying.

At this time.

The host Sa Beining came backstage.

Seeing Chen Ping, Sa Beining was a little embarrassed: "Old Master Chen Ping... long time no see."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Teacher Sa Beining, it's been a long time indeed."

"Don't worry, I don't dare to be your teacher. Call me Xiaosa."

Sabining said a little embarrassed.

"Teacher Sa, don't be modest. I watch your show every day."

Chen Ping's favorite host on CCTV is Sa Beining.

certainly.

I like it not because Sa Beining has the best hosting skills.

At CCTV, there are too many people with excellent hosting skills. Although Sa Beining is a talented person, he is not the best.

What Chen Ping really likes is Sa Beining's true temperament.

Many of his hosting styles are not fake.

Just like when he was interviewing Teacher Ma, he heard Teacher Ma say that he didn’t like money and I was not interested in money...

Sa Beining suppressed the laughter, and it was reposted over and over again by countless people.

This was replaced by another host.

Although he may know in his heart that Teacher Ma is pretending to be a little big, but I am afraid he will also praise Teacher Ma's attitude towards money.

This comparison immediately revealed Sa Beining's true temperament.

This has made Sabining more down-to-earth and more popular.

It's just that Chen Ping likes Sa Beining, but Sa Beining is a little afraid of Chen Ping.

When Chen Ping said he wanted to watch his show, Sa Beining immediately said, "No, don't watch my show."

"Why?"

"There's no reason. Anyway, seeing you makes me feel a little guilty."

"I'm not a tiger, why are you afraid of me? By the way, I heard that you also hosted China in the Classics. I will try to participate another day."

"I'll go...you are trying to make fun of me."

Sa Beining was a little crazy: "Let's not talk about other programs for now. Let's talk about this program for a while."

…

Art Life is an interview program.

It is different from Mango TV’s Tiantian Shang Shang and Happy Camp.

Art Life is a variety show with a higher standard and a higher quality

After the communication between Sa Beining and Chen Ping, Art Life was officially recorded and broadcast.

"Director Xixi, how did you feel when you received the drama Three Kingdoms?"

"When I was offered this drama, my first reaction was to reject it."

"Why?"

"The film is too big. The Three Kingdoms is one of our four masterpieces. And there was also the Old Three Kingdoms before. I was afraid that I would be scolded if I didn't make it well."

"But what ultimately made you take on this show?"

"One is that it has been decades since the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. For us, we should have a brand new version of our country. The other is also the cooperation from all aspects above. Of course, there is another one, that is, we have found Suitable actors for each.”

Here, the most important actor Gao Xixi mentioned as suitable is naturally Chen Ping.

but.

Because she came with a group of actors, Gao Xixi did not single out Chen Ping.

Although he didn't say it, Sabine obviously knew.

In fact, the most important reason here is that Chen Ping joined.

If Chen Ping hadn't joined.

Even if the filming of New Three Kingdoms starts as usual, the impact will probably not be so great.

But Sa Beining is naturally also a wonderful person.

Gao Xixi didn't mention Chen Ping's name in public, and Sa Beining naturally couldn't say Chen Ping's name either.

There are several well-known actors here.

Even if you want to praise Chen Ping, you have to do it step by step.

Have a chat with the other actors first.

After Gao Xixi, Sa Beining looked at Yu Hewei, who played Liu Bei.

Among the Three Kingdoms.

The ones who received the most attention in the early stage were naturally Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

As for Sun Quan of Wu State.

Although he is also a hero, he is currently too young.

"Teacher Yu, I understand that you play Liu Bei in the play."

"Yes."

"For Liu Bei, and maybe for the general public, we think Liu Bei is too soft-hearted or has no backbone in his actions. Whenever he encounters trouble, he just cries."

"Not really."

Yu Hewei shook his head: "Liu Bei does cry like this, but it is definitely not like ordinary people crying. Whoever can dominate one of the Three Kingdoms is a hero of the generation. Looking at Liu Bei's life, if he is just cowardly, if he only knows how to cry . Let alone whether he can establish the Shu Kingdom, I am afraid that when he was wandering, he was destroyed by a group of princes seven or eight times."

The show continues.

Sa Beining talked about them all one by one.

at last.

Sa Beining looked at Chen Ping.

The reason why Chen Ping is placed at the end is that this is obviously the finale.

If we were to interview Chen Ping from the beginning, what interest would the audience have?

Among the New Three Kingdoms, it is obvious that Chen Ping is the one that everyone pays the most attention to.

"Hello, Teacher Chen Ping, what role do you play in the play?"

"Cao Cao."

"I like the character Cao Cao very much, but there are also many people who don't like Cao Cao. What kind of character do you think Cao Cao is."

"I think so."

Chen Ping had liked Cao Cao very much before.

Needless to say, after he played Cao Cao, Chen Ping fell in love with this role even more.

"The character of Cao Cao is very complex. He has both a loyal and a traitorous side. He is courageous, but also very suspicious. I think it is impossible to explain Cao Cao in one or two sentences. Here, I would like to chant a few words This poem is used as an aspect to evaluate Cao Cao."

At Sa Beining's signal, Chen Ping began to recite a poem:

[To the east is Jieshi to view the sea.

Where is the water? The mountains and islands are standing tall.

There are many trees and lush grass.

The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.

The journey of the sun and the moon is like going out of it.

The stars are as brilliant as if they came out of it.

Fortunately, even singing praises one's aspirations. 】

This poem is "Guan Cang Hai" by Cao Cao.

Chen Ping read with great force, like Cao Cao coming back to life.

only.

After Chen Ping finished reciting, what everyone saw was not the momentum of Cao Cao performed by Chen Ping.
