Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 254: Changing actors was just a matter of words from Chen Cheng.

"I heard that one of Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun passed the audition and won the important female supporting role."

"I heard about it, too, but I don't know if it was Zhou Xun or Li Bingbing."

"I think it's Zhou Xun."

"why?"

"Zhou Xun became famous earlier than Bingbing, and was also the earliest number one actress at Huayi. Her acting skills are also recognized in the industry."

"Filming doesn't necessarily depend entirely on acting skills. Li Bingbing is not another Bingbing. Although Li Bingbing's acting skills may be slightly worse than Zhou Xun's, they are not bad either. The key is that Li Bingbing is good-looking and has a good figure. Moreover, Hollywood has always liked to promote beautiful women, and Zhou Xun's looks are still a little worse."

"Don't argue. I like both Zhou Xun and Bing Bing. At the same time, I also want to see one of them appear in a big Hollywood production."

After Chen Cheng returned to China.

The news of the audition by Warner Bros. in Hollywood was also flying around.

However, Chen Cheng ignored the news.

Or.

For now, not many people know that "Inception" is related to Chen Cheng.

It was rare for Chen Cheng to have a few days of peace.

He plans to concentrate on writing a new book.

This script does not require well-known actors and is not difficult to shoot.

His also seems to be a very ordinary story.

But this is only apparent.

inside of.

This film, however, contains a kind of emotion that belongs to the people of mainland China.

This sentiment is the same as what Wang Jing said in the interview that year.

At that time, media reporters interviewed Wang Jing.

The media asked in surprise.

Why have the box office performances of films directed by Hong Kong directors been so low in recent years?
Has the quality of Hong Kong directors deteriorated?
Or something else?

Wang Jing said, this is a kind of emotion.

But Hong Kong directors are unable to understand this emotion.

Maybe many people don’t quite understand this.

Is it possible that this emotion is so complicated that the directors in Hong Kong cannot understand it?

No.

This emotion is not only not complicated, but rather extremely simple.

However, even though it is so simple, people in Hong Kong often ignore it or even fail to understand it.

As for the reason.

That is.

They have never really lived in the mainland, and cannot understand what the mainland people are thinking.

They still make movies in their original way.

That approach was very effective back then.

but.

The market is changing.

When you apply this approach to the mainland market, which is undergoing an extremely rapid change, you will often fail.

……

pity.

Chen Cheng was only quiet for three days.

Soon, the silence was broken.

Jiao Aimin, the producer of "Love Is Not Blind", who was the first to draft the actors, called Chen Cheng.

He said the audition was almost over, and he wanted to ask Chen Cheng to come and take a look, and also ask Chen Cheng to come and give some advice.

Chen Cheng knew.

It's just a courtesy.

Jiao Aimin wanted to ask him to come to increase his media exposure.

Chen Cheng went anyway.

After all, Chen Cheng also invested in this film.

As one of the producers, Chen Cheng also hopes that this film can have a good box office.

"Director Chen, this is Director Zhang Yibai."

"Hello, Director Yibai. I've heard of you for a long time. The TV version of "Love Is Not Blind" is a classic. I believe our movie version will be good."

"Thank you Director Chen, thank you Director Chen."

"Jinglei, Yapeng."

He continued to introduce Xu Jinglei, Li Yapeng and Jiao Youmin.

Chen Cheng smiled and replied, "There's no need to introduce the two of you. One is an old enemy, and the other is a big star. I'm too familiar with them."

This made everyone laugh.

Xu Jinglei quickly said, "Director Chen, I'm not your old enemy."

Li Yapeng also said modestly: "I am not a big star, I just showed up on the stage a few more times."

"You're being modest again. Besides being a big star, I'm also a huge fan of your lover."

Li Yapeng’s wife is none other than the queen of pop Wang Fei.

Almost.

At that time, all men in the country envied Li Yapeng extremely.

Chen Cheng was also envious.

But this envy is purely out of admiration for Wang Fei's unique voice.

"That's right, we are also big fans of Queen Wang Fei."

Jiao Aimin also said: "We were just chatting about whether we should ask the queen Wang Fei to sing a theme song for our movie "Love"."

Li Yapeng replied somewhat awkwardly: "Boss Jiao, please don't embarrass me. If Boss Jiao really wants to make an appointment, you can invite me individually."

This said.

Chen Cheng understood.

Li Yapeng and Wang Fei have been married for many years, and things are fine for now.

But the media has also reported many times that Li Yapeng took Wang Fei to social events.

Occasionally it's okay.

If it happens too often, even the best couples will have conflicts.

of course.

If Li Yapeng had continued acting, given his acting skills and his status at the time, their relationship would have lasted longer.

But for some reason, Li Yapeng was obsessed with doing business and real estate.

As a result, he ended up in a lot of debt in business.

This also caused an emotional crisis between the two.

"Producer Jiao, please don't make things difficult for Yapeng. Don't bring work into your personal family."

Chen Cheng also spoke up for Li Yapeng.

"Director Chen is right. I was confused."

then.

Jiao Aimin then introduced some other actors one by one.

Such as Zhao Yanzi.

Wang Xuebing.

He Jie, who participated in Super Girl.

And there is Du Wenzhe.

and many more.

When Du Wenzhe was introduced, Chen Cheng looked at the actor from Hong Kong.

to be frank.

Du Wen Ze is an actor with pretty good acting skills in Hong Kong.

He shot to fame in "My Date with a Vampire".

Later he also starred in Infernal Affairs.

He is also a well-known host.

But such an actor, he is eating Chinese food while smashing Chinese bowls.

Once when he was attending a show with Danny Chan, Du Wen Ze slammed the table and yelled in front of his senior Danny Chan.

Chen Baixiang said calmly that a loud voice does not necessarily mean it is correct.

This guy is very arrogant. On his personal Facebook, he constantly disses mainland netizens and openly shouts, "If you have the ability, stop me from coming to the mainland."

finally.

Du Wen Ze caused a boycott across the entire mainland Internet.

A number of film and television companies have stated that as long as it is a work under their name, Du Wenzhe will definitely not be used.

Seeing that Du Wen Ze couldn't survive in the mainland.

This guy went to Southeast Asia to make pornographic movies.

In the end, there was no result.

Until later generations.

Even in the Hong Kong circle, there is no place for him to survive.

"Director Chen, hello, I'm Du Wenze."

Seeing that Chen Cheng was staring at him, Du Wenzhe stretched out his right hand.

But Chen Cheng chose to ignore it.

This made Du Wen Ze feel a little embarrassed.

When leaving.

Chen Cheng said to producer Jiao Aimin: "I don't like this Du Wenze."

Jiao Aimin was stunned: "Director Chen, do you have any misunderstandings about Du Wenze?"

"No."

Chen Cheng said, "Producer Jiao, change an actor."

……

The opening ceremony of "Love Is Not Blind" was held at about the same time as "Love Is Not Blind".

As one of the producers, Chen Cheng attended the opening ceremony of Love Is Not Blind.

At the opening ceremony.

Teng Huatao trotted over with a plate of big red envelopes.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Huatao, when did the crew become so rich?"

"I don't want to either. It's just the rules. The red envelopes are symbolic, only 100 yuan per person."

"Ah."

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "It's okay. If the box office is hot, I'll give everyone a big red envelope."

"With what you said, Director Chen, I think our film will definitely be a hit."

"Will do."

"Since Director Chen has said so, why don't you share in your good fortune and give out red envelopes to everyone?"

"That's not good."

"What's wrong with that? Send me one first."

"Ok."

Chen Cheng gave the red envelope to Teng Huatao: "Brother Huatao, the box office is a big hit."

Seeing Chen Cheng issuing red envelopes, Bao Jinjin, who is also a senior sister of Beijing Film Academy and the screenwriter of Love Is Not Blind, came over quickly and said, "Junior brother, junior brother, I want one too."

"Senior sister, you should also join in the fun. The people behind the scenes don't get red envelopes."

"I don't care, I want it, Hua Tao has it all."

"Senior Brother Hua Tao is the director."

“The director also belongs behind the scenes.”

"Uh, okay."

Of course, there is no specific person to whom the red envelope is sent.

When there is more funding, we will give more.

When funding is limited, give out less.

Other actors also came forward to ask Chen Cheng for red envelopes.

"Teacher Yaoqing, I think you are so handsome, even more handsome than the male lead."

The actor who received the red envelope from Chen Cheng is called Wang Yaoqing.

He is the professional domineering boss.

But compared to Huang Xiaoming playing the domineering boss.

Wang Yaoqing’s domineering boss is much better.

But what really made Wang Yaoqing famous was not the domineering CEO he played, but the cute and funny uncle he played in "The Next Stop Is Happiness". So far, Wang Yaoqing has earned the title of uncle. At the same time, after middle age, Wang Yaoqing has reached the peak of his appearance and charm. Whenever he appears, countless girls feel their hearts beat fast.

Of course.

Wang Yaoqing, who is still relatively young now, is not as charming as he will be in middle age.

Seeing Chen Cheng praising him so much, Wang Yaoqing was somewhat flattered and said, "Director Chen, I think you are the most handsome in the circle."

After Wang Yaoqing.

It is another actor Guo Jinfei.

This actor is Su Mingcheng, who later starred in "All Is Well".

It can be said.

Guo Jinfei's acting skills are quite good.

But now, Guo Jinfei, like Wang Yaoqing, is not particularly famous yet.

"Jinfei, it seems like you graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

"Director Chen, yes, you know me?"

"Of course I know. I also know that you have been acting in dramas for many years."

"Yes, I have been acting in dramas for six years."

"Come on, sooner or later, you will be famous."

"Thank you, thank you, Director Chen."

Guo Jinfei felt his heart surging for a moment.

Before this.

No big shot has ever taken a serious look at him.

He knows it too.

It’s not that others look down on him, it’s just that his status is too low.

But Chen Cheng's words today made Guo Jinfei feel like he was dreaming.

But look at Chen Cheng's eyes.

he knows.

Chen Cheng did not say this casually, but expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart.

……

After Guo Jinfei, it is actor Zhang Jiayi.

Seeing Zhang Jiayi, Chen Cheng greeted him cordially: "Brother Jiayi."

Zhang Jiayi was stunned: "Director Chen?"

Chen Cheng laughed: "Brother Jiayi will not be fired from Beijing Film Academy."

Yes.

None of the actors in Love Is Not Blind are particularly famous.

Even Zhang Jiayi, who graduated many years ago.

If you don’t know who Zhang Jiayi is.

Then you must have seen his performance in "Mind Game".

That's right.

Zhang Jiayi is the actor who achieved success late in life.

"Director Chen, Junior Brother Chen Cheng...you asked me to..."

Zhang Jiayi wiped his eyes.

He really didn't expect it.

Chen Cheng actually remembered such an ordinary actor like him who graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

"Brother Jiayi, come, let's take a picture."

Chen Cheng and Zhang Jiayi hugged each other.

He understands too well the feelings of Zhang Jiayi, who is not famous yet but is still working hard as an actor.

"Smile."

"That's right, Senior Brother Jiayi, you see, he's quite handsome. Let me tell you a fortune."

"Brother Chen Cheng, can you tell fortunes?"

"meeting."

"I guess it won't be long before you become famous."

"what?"

Zhang Jiayi was stunned.

Of course he didn't believe it.

To know.

He is already 40 years old now.

circle.

Many male actors who are 40 years old have started playing grandfather-like roles.

Do you still want to be famous at this age?

That's just a dream.

"Brother Jiayi, it's true. My mouth has been blessed."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng handed the red envelope to Zhang Jiayi.

……

"Hahaha, Chen Cheng, it's my turn now."

Zhang Jiayi took the red envelope.

Then a crisp sound was heard.

As soon as Chen Cheng heard it, he knew it was his classmate Jiao Junyan.

After all these years of hard work.

Among the undergraduate class of that year.

Except Yang Mi, Zhang Xiaofei, Zhu Xiaohua, Zhang Wei, Yuan Shanshan...

Jiao Junyan also slowly began to appear in the public eye.

This is very valuable.

To know.

Among classmates.

Jiao Junyan almost never asked Chen Cheng for help.

of course.

This time, "Love Is Not Blind" did not ask Chen Cheng for help.

even.

It was only after the filming started that Chen Cheng found out that Jiao Junyan was also in the crew.

"Junyan, what a fate. After graduation, many of our classmates rarely see each other."

"Who said it's rare? I see you every day."

"Ah, where is it?"

"On TV."

"Pfft..."

Chen Cheng was helpless: "Okay, stop being so rude and take the red envelope."

"Thank you, Director Chen, Mr. Chen, Producer Chen, Boss Chen..."

Jiao Junyan gave Chen Cheng a lot of titles.

Chen Cheng shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Junyan, you have my phone number. If you have any questions, you can call me."

Jiao Junyan turned around and said, "I know. You are the most loyal person in our class."

Done.

Jiao Junyan stepped aside, but her eyes were red.

Subsequently.

Chen Cheng gave the red envelope to actor Hai Qing.

Haiqing also graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

Chen Cheng naturally called her senior sister.

As for why there are so many Beijing Film Academy actors in this crew.

It wasn’t Chen Cheng who invited me.

Both the director and the screenwriter are from Beijing Film Academy.

When they were filming, they also took care of their senior brothers and sisters from Beijing Film Academy first.

……

In the end, the two protagonists, the male and female, received the red envelopes.

The male protagonist is the emblem.

The heroine is Bai Baihe.

Chen Cheng doesn't have much opinion about coat of arms.

He neither liked nor hated the emblem, he just nodded at it.

But Chen Cheng didn't have much good impression of Bai Baihe.

However, Chen Cheng is neither a director nor a producer.

He is just a producer.

Chen Cheng’s bottom line is.

As long as the person is not like Du Wenzhe, Chen Cheng generally won't interfere too much.

After giving the red envelope to Bai Baihe, Chen Cheng went to the director's office without saying anything.

"Ah, this..."

He took the red envelope stupidly.

Bai Baihe felt like her heart couldn't take it anymore.

Just now, seeing Chen Cheng being so considerate to the actors, she prepared a lot of words to get close to Chen Cheng.

But it's almost not covered.

But she felt as if... as if... Chen Cheng didn't seem to want to pay attention to her.
