Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 255: Can you do whatever you want if you have money? Yes.

"Wen Ze, I'm sorry, you may have to leave the crew for the time being."

"what?"

"There's nothing I can do."

"Producer Jiao, is it because of Chen Cheng?"

"Don't think too much."

"Producer Jiao, there's no need to hide it. I want to know, can you do whatever you want if you have money?"

"It has nothing to do with money. If there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate again."

Although Jiao Aimin didn't know why Chen Cheng wanted to replace Du Wenzhe.

But Chen Cheng is not the investor of their drama.

Chen Cheng is a god-like figure in the mainland film industry.

of course.

for this.

Chen Cheng, the instigator, did not even realize it.

……

He continued writing the script he hadn't finished before.

No one bothered me this time.

Chen Cheng finished writing the book in one breath.

The name of the book is "Galaxy Tutorial Class".

of course.

This version in the previous life had many flaws.

For example, there is a series of criticisms against exam-oriented education.

Although exam-oriented education does have many shortcomings, it is not that bad.

For example, the principal in the play is too unkind, making it seem like he has committed a heinous crime and is completely unkind.

Just like the male protagonist "Ma Haowen" led his son "Ma Fei" from the bottom of the class to the top dozens in the school.

The principal is still worried and wants to expel him because you didn't rank among the top ten in the school.

Also.

As a father, Ma Haowen made a bet with the principal about the top ten students in the grade, and there were many things to complain about.

There are also too many chicken soup-style educational lines.

Although it’s not that this kind of education cannot be taught, there is some preaching in it and the lines are not down-to-earth enough.

In short.

If we have to complain about this movie, Chen Cheng can find a lot to complain about.

But why did Chen Cheng still choose this film?

The reason.

The father-son relationship in this film is indeed expressed quite sincerely.

This is also the most touching part of the film.

It is precisely because of the father-son relationship in this film that sometimes you may ignore his series of bad points.

This is also the reason why many people don’t understand why this movie, with so many bad points, still has good box office performance.

but.

Chen Cheng is going to shoot this time.

In addition to perfectly showing the father-son relationship in this version.

A series of unreasonable plots in the play were also corrected one by one.

……

The script is selected.

Chen Cheng thought about the actors in this version of the play in his previous life.

Overall, the actors were well chosen.

The male lead, Deng Chao, is considered to have potential in the mainland acting circle.

Although in the last "Chinese Partners", Chen Cheng did not use Deng Chao.

But this time, it's worth considering.

"Sun Li, I have a book I want to talk to you about. Let's have lunch together at noon."

"By the way, call Deng Chao as well."

"Okay, okay."

Sun Li was a little excited when she received Chen Cheng's call.

Deng Chao on the side asked, "Who's calling?"

"Director Chen."

"Which Director Chen?"

"Chen Cheng, Director Chen."

"Are there new books?"

"Yeah. He asked me to have lunch with him at noon."

"That's great, wife...I'm so envious."

Deng Chao hugged his wife.

But after saying that, Deng Chao said something sour: "Wife, Director Chen only asked you to have dinner with him?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"This, this..."

Touching his head, Deng Chao wanted to say something but didn't open his mouth.

When I was extremely conflicted.

Sun Li burst out laughing: "I was just kidding, Director Chen said he wanted to invite you too."

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Sun Li said, "What were you thinking about just now?"

"No, it's nothing."

At this moment, Deng Chao was simply overjoyed: "Let's go, let's go meet Director Chen."

Sun Li rolled her eyes at Deng Chao and said, "It's only 8 o'clock in the morning. There's still four hours before lunch."

"You, you, Director Chen is a director of what rank. He personally invited us to dinner, which shows that he thinks highly of us. And you still want Director Chen to wait for us first."

"Then don't do it so early."

"Go try out the environment first, don't be nervous when the time comes."

"Pfft... You're probably nervous."

Being hit on the spot by Sun Li, Deng Chao felt a little embarrassed: "Really? How could that be?"

Done.

Deng Chao immediately said, "Wife, what do you think I should wear to meet Director Chen at noon?"

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

Seeing Deng Chao's funny look, Sun Li laughed out loud.

Don't point it out.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't think too much. Director Chen is a very low-key person, just dress as you normally would."

"Isn't it too rude to wear what you normally wear? If you lose your role, don't blame me."

"Don't worry, I won't. If Director Chen wants to use me, it's just a matter of a word. If Director Chen doesn't want to use me, there's nothing we can do."

"Ah."

Deng Chao thought so too.

For such a big director, most of the time it only takes a single word to decide.

……

It's not until 12 o'clock.

Deng Chao and Sun Li arrived at the hotel where Chen Cheng had agreed to meet.

Chen Cheng arrived neither late nor early, around 12 o'clock.

Seeing Chen Cheng coming, Deng Chao and Sun Li quickly stood up.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Sun Li, Deng Chao, don't act like you're meeting some important person. Come sit down."

Sun Li smiled and said, "Director Chen, you don't know. My husband and I have been excited all day because we are here to see you."

Deng Chao was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Director Chen, nice to meet you. Thank you very much for taking care of Sun Li in the past."

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "No, it's just that Sun Li has good acting skills and personality. I really like working with such actors. By the way, when will you hold your wedding banquet?"

"We are discussing it, but it has not been finalized yet. It will probably be in the second half of the year."

"Yes, I like this kind of happy event to be announced to the public. Unlike decades ago, there were many actors who did not dare to announce their love affairs for decades for fear of affecting their careers. Even when they got married, they did not dare to say it."

Such as Liu Dehua.

However, Chen Cheng could also understand Liu Dehua's difficulties.

He was really popular back then.

And after that incident, anyone would be frightened.

"We think so too. Now that we have decided, let's announce it. If fans don't like it anymore because of the marriage, there is nothing we can do."

Sun Li said.

Deng Chao agreed very much: "But, strangely enough, when we went public this time, we received quite a lot of support from the industry and fans."

"Times have changed. Mainland fans and moviegoers are becoming more mature. Of course, people's preferences are no longer based on appearance, but on an actor's true ability."

Chen Cheng was not much older than the two men, and they had many common topics.

"Deng Chao, have you played the role of a young emperor before?"

"Yes."

"There is also Young Justice Bao 3."

"Young Justice Bao 3 was taken over later, and I have been criticized all the time."

"normal."

Chen Cheng said: "It's a trilogy with three male protagonists, so we will always compare them."

Although Deng Chaoyan’s third film is not as well-received as the first two.

But it’s not that bad.

It's more about preconceived ideas.

"I remember that you also starred in "Assembly" and another movie "Love Call Transfer 2"? "

"I was the second male lead in Assembly. Love Call Transfer... Uh, sorry, Director Chen, I've completely ruined your reputation."

At that time, "Love Call Transfer" achieved great success.

So Shanghai Film Studio had the idea of ​​making a second film and contacted Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng didn't have time and refused.

of course.

It's more about the script.

Because Love Call Transfer 2 is the exact opposite of 1.

If the first part is about the male protagonist choosing one female marriage partner after another.

In Love Call Transfer 2, the heroine is choosing one male partner after another.

In the end, Deng Chao became the leading male actor in this film.

But he is male No. 1.

In fact, the male No. 1 is fundamentally different from the male No. 1 played by Chen Cheng in Love Call Transfer.

Such a script.

Don’t even mention that it was played by Deng Chaolai.

Even if Chen Cheng plays the role again, it will still be a flop.

"Whether it's broken or not, it's hard to say when it comes to movies."

Chen Cheng didn't care much about it.

After thinking for a while, he said, "How do you understand the role of father?"

"Ok?"

Chen Cheng's fantastic question left Deng Chao stunned.

He didn't know why Chen Cheng suddenly mentioned the role of father?
But who is the person in front of me?

Many actors will never have this opportunity in their entire lives.

Although Chen Cheng asked a question that made him a little strange, Deng Chao still said: "I think father is a rather heavy topic. I remember when I was little, I was more playful and a problem student. My father was very strict with me and always punished me. For a long time when I was a teenager, I didn't talk much to my father. It was not until I grew up that I slowly understood the heaviness of father's love..."

"Sun Li, what about you? I feel like your eyes are red when you talk about your father."

Chen Cheng looked at Sun Li.

It would have been better if Chen Cheng didn’t say anything.

One said.

Sun Li even had tears in her eyes.

"Sorry... let's change the subject."

Chen Cheng didn't expect this.

A father made Sun Li cry.

"It's okay, Director Chen. I was sorry to my father in the past."

After a while, Sun Li said, "I was born in a divorced family. My father divorced my mother very early. It was very hard for my mother to raise me alone. I hated my father since I was a child. I hated why he abandoned me and my mother. Even though my father came to see me again and again, I didn't want to see him..."

In Sun Li’s narration.

Chen Cheng knew about it.

original.

Sun Li's father and mother divorced because of emotional discord.

Although Sun Li's father and mother divorced, they never forgot their daughter Sun Li.

He often visited Sun Li and gave her money on his own initiative.

But Sun Li refused.

Later, Sun Li retired from the art troupe and went to Beijing.

In the first few years of moving to Beijing, Sun Li had little income, lived in the basement, and ate steamed buns.

Later, I couldn't even pay the rent.

at this time.

Sun Li received an anonymous remittance of 4000 yuan.

Sun Li didn't know who this person was.

But the 4000 yuan solved a major problem in Sun Li's life at that time.

In 2001, Sun Li got a good opportunity.

She was recommended by Liu Dehua to the Jade Guanyin crew.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for newcomer Sun Li.

However, when she was about to play the role in this film, the director informed her that she needed a month of training.

There was nothing originally.

but.

At that time, Sun Li was already penniless.

The training is free though.

But you still have to pay for accommodation and meals by yourself.

at this time.

He received another anonymous remittance of 4000 yuan.

Relying on two sums of 4000 yuan.

Sun Li overcame the difficulties and her career flourished afterwards.

Sun Li has always wanted to find the benefactor who gave her 8000 yuan anonymously.

But I can't find it.

Once he met his father.

I saw my father, in such a poor state, setting up a stall on the street.

Although Sun Li couldn't bear it.

But when she thought about what happened to her when she was a child, she left immediately.

later.

Grandpa was seriously ill, so Sun Li went to visit him.

I just learned this from my grandfather.

It turned out that the two sums of 4000 yuan were remitted by my father.

But at that time, Sun Li's father's life was not very good.

These two sums of money.

It was the money that Sun Li's father and stepmother saved bit by bit by washing wine bottles for others after get off work.

finally.

Sun Li suddenly realized the truth.

Not only did he forgive his father, he also helped pay for his stepmother's medical bills.

even.

He also brought his half-sister into the entertainment industry.

"Wife, why didn't you tell me?"

Deng Chao hugged Sun Li tightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No, it's just that I was young and ignorant and didn't understand my father."

Wiping her eyes, Sun Li said, "But it's okay at least. Otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."

……

The dinner for the day ended.

Chen Cheng just listened carefully to the two people's stories about their father.

A few days later.

Chen Cheng sent a text message to Sun Li: "Three days later, you and your wife will come to the crew for an audition together."

Look at this text message.

Deng Chao blinked and said, "Honey, are you asking me to go to the audition too?"

“Isn’t it written above?”

"No, why are you calling me?"

"How would I know."

"I……"

Deng Chao jumped up excitedly.

Subsequently.

But he thought of something.

He hugged Sun Li and said, "Thank you, my wife."

"Thank me for what I did."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a chance at this audition. From today on, you are the head of the family, and I will follow your lead."

"is it?"

"of course."

"Then let the commander listen."

"Sir, what do you want?"

"Turn off the lights for me right now."

"Yes."

……

"Chen Cheng, what are you doing recently?"

"There's a new movie, and I'm going to audition in the next two days."

"There's a new movie. Congratulations, congratulations."

"Tongxi, isn't your new movie coming out soon?"

After receiving Cheng Xiaodong's call, Chen Cheng congratulated him and said, "I wish it a big box office success."

Cheng Xiaodong shook his head, "What's a big hit? Just don't lose money. You know, I'm pretty good at martial arts choreography. But, I'm not sure about being the chief director. If you're free, please support me tomorrow."

"Damn it, Director Cheng, you are cheating. I don't remember the last time we met, but you Hong Kong directors are all targeting me, and I'm still standing up for you."

"What do you mean it's all directed at you? I'm not targeting you. Besides, look at all the Hong Kong movies that have been released since the beginning of this spring, all of them have flopped. Here I come, here I come. I'm so nervous without you."

"Ok."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I can come, too. But when I come, the media will report it. Those Hong Kong directors will see that there is a traitor among the Hong Kong directors."

"A traitor is a traitor. Rather than losing money, I'll just be the traitor."

"Okay."

I have a pretty good relationship with Cheng Xiaodong.

Anyway, I have to help you with this.
