Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"You are Chen."

Inception crew.

Chen Ping met Leonardo, also known as Little Plum, who came to audition with him.

"I've seen your movie and I like your performance as the Joker."

Staring at Chen Ping, Xiao Lizi said.

"Thanks."

Chen Ping also said: "I also like the Wolf of Wall Street that you played."

The two admired each other very much.

However, after all, they are competing for a role, and the two are still in a competitive relationship with each other.

Look at the time.

Auditions haven't started yet.

DiCaprio then said: "What do you think of the movie Inception?"

"I think this is a very good commercial film."

"Commercial Film?"

DiCaprio was a little surprised: "Do you think Inception is a commercial film?"

"Isn't it?"

Chen Ping said: "What do you think?"

"In my opinion, this is a very sci-fi, stream-of-consciousness science fiction film."

"But it's also a commercial film."

"If you insist, yes."

It seemed that Li Zi had a lot to say, and then he said: "How do you distinguish between reality and dreams?"

"It's definitely difficult."

"This is a difficult question to explain," Chen Ping said.

Just like now.

Is the world we live in a dream or reality?

I am afraid.

Even philosophers cannot answer this question.

If you say this is true.

So.

What is the difference between reality and dreams?

You will say that dreams are very short-lived and you will wake up.

But can you guarantee that after you die, you won’t wake up from another dream?

Needless to say, there are dreams within dreams, dreams within dreams within dreams within dreams...

This is simply too complicated.

"So, when I received this script, I almost had a nervous breakdown."

Xiao Lizi said helplessly.

However, he was full of great excitement: "But the more this happens, the more I want to play this role."

"Me too."

Chen Ping nodded.

Although "Inception" is a commercial film.

But commercial films also have their charm.

In fact.

More than 90% of Hollywood films are commercial films.

otherwise.

Why do they call it industrial film?

Unconsciously, the two of them chatted for half an hour.

Suddenly, a voice rang from the side.

"what's the topic."

It was director Nolan who said this: "Looking at how immersed you are in chatting, I don't even want you to audition."

"Haha, Director Nolan, if that's the case, then you confirm me now, so we don't have to audition."

"What about Little Plum?"

"Little Plum, I'll treat him to a meal."

"No, I'd better ask you."

Xiao Lizi also said with a smile.

Chen Ping has worked with Nolan before, so he is very familiar with it.

Not to mention Leonardo DiCaprio, who has been in Hollywood for so long, he naturally recognizes the famous Nolan.

So even though it was an audition, I wasn't as excited as I showed.

"You guys, I don't even know who to choose."

Nolan shook his head: "Let's go, we still have to audition anyway. Today, I can only choose one person from you."

Said.

Nolan took Chen Ping and Xiao Lizi into the office.

The three of them sat down separately.

Nolan said: "Both of you, I am very satisfied with both of you. But the more satisfied I am, the less I know which one to choose between you two. In this way, there will be several performances for you to perform separately. .”

soon.

The assistant director gave each of them three performance questions.

and.

Nolan only gave the two of them five minutes to think about each question.

and.

In order to show competition, the two performances were performed one after another.

Whoever scores higher in the end will get the role of the male number one in Inception.

Regarding this, both Chen Ping and Xiao Lizi said there was no problem.

Immediately, the two sat aside and thought about the next performance alone.

There are three performance questions for Chen Ping.

Question 1: Perform "Cobb's" apology to his wife.

Question 2: Perform a dialogue that invades the consciousness of "Zhai Teng".

Question 3: Performing "Cobb" with confused consciousness.

among these three questions.

The first two questions are slightly easier, and the last question is more complex.

Cobb fell into confusion, unable to distinguish reality from a dream.

But it's okay.

Although Chen Ping didn't know that Nolan would give him such a question.

But he had studied the script carefully before and he was already prepared.

certainly.

It’s not just Chen Ping.

For little plum.

As a super A-list star in Hollywood, DiCaprio seems to be well prepared.

Fifteen minutes later, DiCaprio started his first performance.

"start."

The assistant director started, and Chen Ping stepped aside.

After a few minutes.

Nolan nodded: "ok, great."

While nodding, Nolan recorded on a sticky note.

Then came Chen Ping's performance.

"Chen, I can't believe that your acting skills have improved again."

Nolan nodded excitedly.

In the previous Batman, the Joker played by Chen Ping surprised Nolan.

did not expect.

A year later, Chen Ping's acting skills improved to a higher level.

but.

Apparently Nolan didn't settle so quickly.

Compared with Chen Ping's acting skills, Xiao Lizi's performance is equally good.

Even if Chen Ping's acting skills are slightly better, they are not much higher.

The show continues.

After Chen Ping, he returned to Xiao Lizi's performance.

in this way.

The two performed it twice in turn, and Nolan was even more confused.

Because judging from the double performances of the two, whether it is Chen Ping or Xiao Li Zi, both of them performed very well.

Especially Xiao Lizi, I don't know if he was stimulated by Chen Ping, but his second performance actually kept up with Chen Ping's level.

so.

When it came to the last question, Nolan said: "Both of the previous performances have been great. It's hard for me to decide who to choose. The last question is up to you."

Finished.

Still little plum.

At this time, Little Plum seemed to have exploded into a small universe.

If the previous Xiao Li Zi was just about the same as Chen Ping, but in the third performance.

DiCaprio suddenly had a flash of inspiration and performed an extremely stunning performance that left Nolan stunned.

By the end of DiCaprio's third performance, director Nolan was already excited and cheered for DiCaprio.

"My God, Little Plum, you are simply...that performance you just performed was simply a stroke of genius."

"Thanks."

Xiao Lizi took three deep breaths.

Gu/span\u003e DiCaprio was also very emotional about the performance just now.

After looking at Chen Ping, Xiao Lizi said, "I have to thank Chen Ping for this."

"oh?"

Nolan was a little strange.

"I was discussing with Chen Ping just now whether the world we live in is reality or a dream. I suddenly had an understanding, so I feel more about it just now."

For DiCaprio's performance.

Chen Ping also gave a thumbs up to Xiao Lizi.

He is truly a talented player.

No wonder Leonardo DiCaprio has been able to stay in Hollywood for decades and still has unparalleled popularity.

This talent is not comparable to that of ordinary actors.

but.

How can a talented player compare to a cheating player?

Although Nolan almost recognized DiCaprio after seeing his third performance.

But Chen Ping's third performance has not yet begun.

"Chen...please start your performance."

Even so.

But Nolan almost doesn’t count on Chen Ping anymore.

DiCaprio's performance just now was really amazing and amazing.

It was so amazing that at this moment, Nolan’s mind was filled with DiCaprio’s performance.

but.

Sometimes reality is so cruel.

Just when Xiao Lizi thought he was determined to win, Chen Ping tremblingly took out a top from his arms.

and.

The moment he took out the top, Chen Ping activated his level 9 performance talent: Absolute Domain.

System: The host activates level 9 performance talent, absolute domain, dominates the audience.

Once the skill is released.

Everyone in the entire audition office seemed to be affected by something for a moment.

Whether it was the assistant director, director Nolan, or DiCaprio... they were all staring at Chen Ping unblinkingly at the moment.

"This is……"

Nolan's eyes widened.

He felt that Chen Ping suddenly had an unparalleled charm.

Just by looking at Chen Ping, they were all attracted by Chen Ping's charm.

in their eyes.

It seems that Chen Ping is the protagonist in reality.

No matter what action he made or even his expression, it touched their hearts.

But for Chen Ping in the performance, he had no hesitation.

Although his hands were still shaking.

Although his consciousness is still extremely blurred.

but.

Until the top Chen Ping used stopped spinning, Chen Ping closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

at this time.

Everybody knows.

This action Chen Ping made was to confirm whether it was reality or a dream.

"I……"

Looking at Chen Ping, the assistant director said nothing.

"List……"

Xiao Lizi's eyes were also shocked.

He couldn't believe it.

In the last performance, Chen Ping was able to perform so perfectly.

Although his previous performances were also very amazing.

But compared with Chen Ping's performance, his stunning performance seems to be nothing.

"You, you guys... sit back."

Nolan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"Director Nolan, I lost."

The two returned to their positions.

Nolan didn't say anything, but DiCaprio said directly: "I am completely convinced by Chen's performance."

"Thanks."

Chen Ping and Xiao Lizi hugged each other.

Anyway.

Xiao Lizi's performance just now also reached a very high level.

If he doesn't cheat, he may not be able to win against Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Well, I guess this was a fair audition."

DiCaprio said so, and Nolan didn't say much, confirming that Chen Ping would play the male lead.

But although he was sure, Xiao Lizi had a question: "Chen, how did you come up with your performance just now? That top of yours was really wonderful."

"Before the audition, didn't you ask me how to distinguish reality from a dream?"

Regarding this, Chen Ping smiled: "If we really want to distinguish, I'm afraid none of us can explain it. But if we give a setting at the beginning. For example, in the real world, after the top rotates for a period of time will stop. But in the dream, the top will never stop. So, at this time, if you can't distinguish what is a dream and what is reality, then... you just need to place your top, and when you find out whether the top stops or Keep spinning, and you will know which is a dream and which is reality."

"pretty."

Nolan clapped excitedly: "Chen...I didn't even expect this setting of yours. You are such a genius. How did you come up with it?"

"It's actually not difficult."

Chen Ping explained: "Inception is about stealing dreams, which is actually implanting consciousness. When our consciousness is implanted into other people's minds, even if this consciousness is very small, it is enough to destroy everything. I brought it into The setting of the top is actually a kind of implantation into consciousness. When we pass this setting to everyone, everyone will agree with it."

"High, really high."

Nolan once again marveled: "I think we have all been implanted with consciousness by you now."

"That's right."

Xiao Lizi also said with admiration: "As you just said, in fact, we have no way to distinguish reality from dreams. However, as soon as you took out the setting of the top, we subconsciously agreed with your setting. And, because of our identification, we have been implanted in your consciousness."

"Interesting, interesting."

Nolan was dancing excitedly at this moment: "Looking at it this way, I have to stimulate the audience at the end of the film."

"Director Nolan, what's the stimulation method?"

"I'm thinking, if I ask the male protagonist to spin the top in the last shot, I don't know what the audience's reaction will be."

"Director Nolan, you are so bad."

Chen Ping was helpless.

This guy is doing this again.

He understands.

Go ahead with this move.

Even if Inception is over, countless people will still be arguing:

Has the male protagonist returned to reality, or has he been in a dream?

…

"Chen, how's it going?"

"What do you think?"

"Took it?"

"How else."

"Chen...you are simply my idol."

Although he met a strong opponent, Chen Ping still won the role of the male number one in Inception.

"What do you think of the show Inception?"

"Didn't you read it?"

"I mean, how much do you predict the box office of Inception will be?"

"With director Nolan's reputation and this very interesting script, it should be worth $1 billion."

"Another billion dollars."

Kang Bo was a little excited: "No wonder the media calls you Mr. Billion Dollars..."

"Mr. Billion Dollars...are you so stupid?"

Chen Ping smiled awkwardly.

This reminded him of the scene when his box office in Hong Kong exceeded 100 million.

At that time, a lot of media called Chen Ping Mr. Billion Dollar.

did not expect.

When I came to Hollywood, I was also so bloody.

He even started doing this.

It's just that the previous "Mr. Billion Yuan" was changed to 1 billion Yuan.

It's just that this unit has become US dollars.

But think about it too.

The entertainment industry is like this.

Although Hollywood seems to be high-end, sometimes it can also be very vulgar.

However, although it is a bit unsophisticated, the title is not bad.

This at least represents everyone's recognition of Chen Ping's strength.

However, Chen Ping was not only satisfied with the title of Mr. One Billion Dollars. He looked at Kang Bo and said, "Kang Bo, do you think it is possible that others will not call me Mr. One Billion Dollars in the future?"

"What do you call me?"

"Mr. $2 Billion."

"$2 billion...God."

Kang Bo was tongue-tied and said: "There is no movie in the world that has a box office of more than 2 billion US dollars."
