Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 137 Has anyone said you are handsome?

"Chen Cheng, I gave you a few notebooks a few days ago. Have you read them?"

"Brother Hua, I've seen it."

"How about it?"

"It still doesn't work."

Chen Cheng shook his head and once again rejected the several notebooks that Wang Hua sent him.

Wang Hua, the director of Hengcheng Film and Television and Chen Cheng's agent, thought for a moment and said, "Chen Cheng, I don't know what to say. I know that you have very high requirements for scripts now. However, the company may not have such resources for the time being. President Xu said that if you want to terminate the contract, it is also possible."

"Brother Hua, what are you talking about?"

Chen Cheng said: "The company treats me well, I have no reason to terminate the contract. Besides, I am picky, not the company's fault. In addition, according to my requirements, it will take a while to find someone, so I can only wait. So, Brother Hua, I hope you can understand, and I also hope the company can understand."

"Chen Cheng, it would be a great blessing for the company if you don't leave."

Wang Hua said, "I understand what you mean. I will report it to the company."

"Ah."

Watching Wang Hua leave, Chen Cheng turned on the computer as usual.

When he has nothing to do, Chen Cheng will play games for a while.

This is not lying.

That's how it is sometimes.

It's not that you always have resources.

Many times, good resources are obtained by waiting.

Chen Cheng is not in a hurry as there are no movies to shoot recently.

Chen Cheng knew better.

There is no way to be anxious.

The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make the wrong decision and take on a bad show.

For Chen Cheng, exchanging time for space is the best way now.

but.

While Chen Cheng was playing games, he received a call from Zhang Wei.

"Zhang Wei, is the filming finished?"

“It’s not finished yet.”

"Call me when you have time before the filming is finished."

“There’s something wrong with the company.”

"what……"

Chen Cheng was stunned.

Zhang Wei said, "Brother Hu had a car accident, and the company ran into a big problem. All the partners have terminated their contracts with Tangren. Many actors have also asked to terminate their contracts. Now the company is in a panic and doesn't know what to do."

"Is Brother Hu okay?"

It still happened.

In fact, Chen Cheng had reminded Brother Hu before filming.

But in this kind of situation, even reminders are useless.

What is going to happen will happen.

It is impossible for Chen Cheng to stay with Brother Hu for 24 hours.

Also.

Even if we stay together, such things may not necessarily happen.

"Brother Hu is fine, but his agent seems to have had an accident."

"Ah."

Almost the same as in the previous life.

"Brother Cheng, I don't know what to do now."

"Calm down."

Chen Cheng said, "This kind of thing cannot be undone. What does Mr. Cai mean?"

"Ms. Cai meant that if there are artists who want to terminate their contracts, she will let them do so."

“So generous.”

"Yes, Mr. Cai is so generous that I feel embarrassed."

"Do you want to leave?"

"My mind is a bit confused right now. I want to leave, but I don't want to leave either."

"normal."

Everyone will feel the same when faced with this situation.

Brother Hu is the number one brother of Tangren.

It would normally not happen that something like this happened to Tangren's top brother.

But therein lies the problem.

Brother Hu, the top star of Tangren, has taken on a martial arts drama directed by Jin Yong.

Halfway through the filming of this drama, Brother Hu had a car accident.

then.

All the partners that had signed contracts before hoped that Tangren would pay compensation.

This was a devastating disaster for the Tang people, which had only been established for a short time.

"Zhang Wei, listen to me. The situation is not yet the most dangerous. If the Tang people really can't hold on, you can make a decision."

Chen Cheng suggested to Zhang Wei.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Cheng."

hang up the phone.

Chen Cheng sighed.

There was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.

……

the other side.

After receiving Chen Cheng's advice, Zhang Wei relaxed a lot and went to General Cai's office.

"Mr. Cai, you are looking for me."

"Zhang Wei, sit down."

Looking at Zhang Wei, Cai Yinong said, "You also know about the company's affairs. What are your plans now?"

"I don't have any plans. I'll follow the company's arrangements."

"Do you want to leave? If you do, I won't blame you. Sign now and you can leave."

"Boss Cai, you've been very kind to me. I don't want to leave for now."

"For now, haha, how long do you want to wait?"

“Unless the company declares bankruptcy.”

"You are kind and righteous."

Cai Yinong was delighted: "Actually, you can leave. Your classmate Chen Cheng is doing pretty well. If you go and join him, he won't treat you badly."

"Brother Cheng also advised me not to leave."

"Oh, he thinks so highly of the Tang people."

Tap the table gently.

Cai Yinong has been feeling very upset recently.

On this side, partners are withdrawing their investments and demanding repayment.

On the other hand, the company’s artists are unstable.

If there is a problem in any aspect, it will be a big problem.

Now Tangren has problems in both areas.

"Okay, you go out first."

Tsai Yinong took out her phone and found Chen Cheng's number.

"Director Chen, I'm Cai Yinong."

Chen Cheng was a little surprised when he received Cai Yinong's call.

did not expect.

Cai Yinong actually thought of calling herself.

"Boss Cai, I heard that there was an accident in your company."

"No need to hear about it, the whole circle knows it."

"What should you do over there?"

"What can I do, Liang Ban?"

"Mr. Cai can still joke now and seems to be in a good mood."

"I'm going to cry for you to see."

"That's not necessary. How are you guys handling this, Brother Hu?"

"He is still in the hospital and the company will do its best to treat him."

"Then?"

"We haven't thought about it yet, and we don't know if Hu will be able to act in the future. The doctor said that Hu has some broken eyes."

“This is a big problem.”

In the previous life, Tangren was able to always support Brother Hu, which really took a lot of determination.

"I think your top priority should be to preserve the Legend of the Condor Heroes."

“Maybe it can’t be saved.”

Cai Yinong sighed: "Brother Hu is in bed now, and I don't know when he can be discharged. Even if he can be discharged, I don't know when we can start filming. Besides, the copyright of The Legend of the Condor Heroes will expire this year."

"It's because it's about to expire, so you should keep this film."

"How to protect it?"

"Isn't it a simple matter? Just find Mr. Jin."

"Chen Cheng, can you stop teasing me? I'm about to cry in front of you..."

"However, I have some free time recently, so I will take you to see Hero Jin."

"you?"

"Correct."

"What is your relationship with Mr. Jin?"

"I used to be a minor character in a Jin Yong drama."

"I……"

"Okay, just kidding, let's go or not."

"Really go?"

"Yes."

"You are sure."

"No."

"How can you know if you don't go?" "Where are you?"

"Hengdian."

"I'm coming to find you."

……

A few days later, Chen Cheng and Tsai Ing-wen appeared in Hong Kong.

but.

Chen Cheng said that he went to visit Mr. Jin with Cai Yinong, but he didn't really go alone.

He had only met Mr. Jin once, so he had no idea whether Mr. Jin would give him face.

just.

Chen Cheng didn't know whether Jin Daxia would give him face, but there was one person that Jin Daxia would definitely give him face.

this person.

It’s Tsui Hark.

"Director Xu, I really have no choice but to invite you this time."

Chen Cheng found Tsui Hark and explained his purpose to him.

Tsui Hark smiled bitterly and said, "Chen Cheng, you must have got the wrong person. Do you know that I have severed my friendship with Mr. Jin?"

"what?"

Chen Cheng was stunned.

Tsui Hark then told Chen Cheng about the time he filmed The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

original.

When Tsui Hark made Swordsman 1, it was a huge hit.

Tsui Hark wanted to shoot Swordsman 2 and invited Jet Li and Brigitte Lin.

As a result, the film performed well after its release.

But Jin Daxia was furious and said:

You said that it would be fine if we make some slight changes to The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

You actually let Dongfang Bubai be the protagonist.

It would be fine if you just let Dongfang Bubai be the protagonist.

You actually made Dongfang Bubai a real woman.

She even started a romance with Linghu Chong, played by Jet Li.

My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t.

So Jin Yong never worked with Tsui Hark again.

"Tell me, can I still go find Hero Jin now?"

Tsui Hark looked at Chen Cheng with a smile.

Chen Cheng also didn't expect that Tsui Hark and Jin Yong would have such a conflict here.

Just when he didn't know what to say, Tsui Hark laughed and said, "Haha, I'm just scaring you. Jin Daxia and I have been friends for many years, although we have many differences in creative concepts. But it doesn't affect our friendship. At most, he won't sign my script and won't let me shoot. We are still friends. Let's go. I haven't been to his place for a long time. I miss him."

……

Together with Chen Cheng and Cai Yinong, the three of them came to Jin Daxia's home.

See Tsui Hark.

Jin Daxia thought he was dazzled: "Old Monster Xu, you actually came to my place, how strange, how strange."

Xu Ke said: "I came here to ask you for a script."

When he heard that he wanted the book, Jin Daxia's expression immediately changed and he said, "Show me away."

Xu Ke was almost vomiting blood: "Hey, hey, hey, how can you do this? Didn't you see I brought a friend with me?"

Jin Daxia adjusted his glasses, looked at Chen Cheng and said, "I think I've seen this guy somewhere."

Xu Ke didn't know what was going on with Chen Cheng, so he asked in confusion, "Really?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Master Jin, we have met before. When Director Yu was filming your The Return of the Condor Heroes, you came to visit the set and we met once."

"Oh... I see. You are the boy who is good at swordplay."

Hero Jin seems to be very interested in Chen Cheng.

After recognizing Chen Cheng, Jin Daxia invited Chen Cheng and others into the inner room.

"Friend Chen Cheng, are you an actor?"

"I wasn't an actor. I was an assistant director at the time, helping the director with chores."

At the same time, Tsui Hark said, "Don't say this guy is talking nonsense. He is now a well-known behind-the-scenes producer. Everyone in the circle calls him Director Chen. He is very famous in the mainland and has directed several films in Hong Kong. He was the deputy art director for Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower", which broke the domestic box office record."

"I watched this movie some time ago. The story was not good, but the pictures were just okay."

"Yes, Chen Cheng participated in many of the composition of the pictures."

"Those who do coloring, too?"

"Cough cough..."

Chen Cheng was a little choked.

Fortunately, Mr. Jin doesn't care about this.

Then Mr. Jin asked Tsui Hark what movie he had shot recently.

Tsui Hark looked worried and said, "If you don't give me the script, I will have no movie to shoot now."

Jin Daxia ignored Tsui Hark and said, "You can try the Xianxia direction."

Speaking of the immortal hero, Tsui Hark was even more depressed: "Master Jin, do you still want to see me lose everything?"

no way.

Although fantasy novels are Tsui Hark's favorite.

But it is also the most torturous to Tsui Hark.

I wonder how well the Shu Mountain Legend was filmed back then.

pity.

But also suffered the greatest loss.

“I think we can film a myth.”

Chen Cheng suggested at this time.

"myth?"

Tsui Hark was a little confused.

"Yes, just like the myths in Journey to the West and Fengshenyan."

Chen Cheng explained.

Tsui Hark said, "There were just too many people involved in filming Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods."

"There are many people in the film, but if we change the angle, maybe we can create something new. For example, we can shoot one of the characters. Of course, it doesn't have to be Sun Wukong, he can be Bajie, Sha Monk, or even Tang Monk. This is a more normal idea. If we think about it again, if these can be filmed, then can we only shoot Nezha, Erlang Shen, Lei Zhenzi, Jiang Ziya, Zhao Gongming..."

This idea made Tsui Hark's eyes light up: "This is a good idea. Director Chen, are you ready to shoot it?"

"I don't want to do that right now."

"why?"

“The market may not be very receptive now.”

"Oh……"

Tsui Hark suddenly realized.

Hero Jin on the side just listened without saying anything.

It was not until the two of them ran out of topics to talk about that they realized that two or three hours had passed.

Chen Cheng felt a little embarrassed and almost forgot his mission.

Ichiban told Jin about the current situation of Tangren and proposed to renew the contract for The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Jin Daxia didn't think about it and asked directly: "Did you bring the contract?"

Cai Yinong was stunned for a moment: "No, I came in a hurry and didn't bring the contract."

This certainly can't be rushed.

Neither of them had expected that Mr. Jin would agree so readily.

"It's okay if you don't bring a contract. I'll write one for you."

Say it.

Mr. Jin wrote a contract by hand.

It is said to be a contract, but in fact it is just a few words of authorization from Mr. Jin.

As for the renewal fee, it is written above, only 1 yuan.

Chen Cheng said, "Master Jin, is the authorized renewal amount written wrong?"

Jin Daxia shook his head: "No mistake, it's 1 yuan."

Chen Cheng and Cai Yinong both opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

Seeing the two people's expressions, Jin Daxia said: "I have written many stories about righteousness in my book. As a knight, you must value righteousness first. You Tangren have suffered such a crisis, but you can still stick with the actors. I think this righteousness is worth a thousand gold."

……

"Chen Cheng, I don't know how to thank you for this trip."

"Mr. Cai, why should you thank me? I just accompanied you to Hong Kong, just as a trip. Besides, helping you is also like helping my classmates. If you want to thank me, please be nicer to my classmates in the future."

"Of course. But I still want to thank you. Without you, I really don't know how I would have gotten through this crisis."

"Let's talk about this later. After all, I was also in your Tangren crew. In the crew, I also met my master. Director Yu was also very good to me... If I have to thank you, it should be me who should thank you. Come on, it's a rare opportunity to come to Hong Kong, take a picture for me."

Chen Cheng made a random gesture.

Cai Yinong looked a little dazed, and suddenly asked: "Chen Cheng, did anyone say you are handsome?"

"There's a ghost."

Chen Cheng shook his head: "In our circle, I am considered ugly."

"Haha, I don't think so."

Cai Yinong replied with a smile.

"Smile."

"also."

"Pfft..."

"Okay, we've got it done."

Cai Yinong pulled out the photo of Chen Cheng from her camera and said, "I'll develop it and send it to you later."

"Thanks."
