The cast of "Young Man Bao Qingtian" was quickly confirmed.
The main cast is basically the same group of people from the original time and space, except for two who were cast separately because they are young now.
Yang Ye is known as a producer, but in fact he has no time to supervise the filming of a TV series.
It's just because this drama has a newcomer playing the leading role and it's not easy to sell, so I used his name as a gimmick.
This is different from the filming of "Hong Kong Love Story" back then.
At that time, Yang Ye personally became a producer in order to start a craze for idol dramas.
However, since there is a name on it, some things still need to be worried about and checked.
If the film is smashed, it will be his Yang Ye who will be lost.
After helping to determine the cast, Yang Ye invited the creators of the crew to have a meal, which was regarded as a formal meeting.
……
Li Binbin stood in front of the hotel mirror and worried.
The makeup Wu Baoling put on her before was so beautiful that she wanted to try it herself, but with her makeup skills, this was simply impossible.
There was a knock on the door outside, and Li Binbin ran to open the door. Ren Quan looked at Li Binbin's face, which was half made up, and burst into laughter.
Li Binbin glared at him angrily, sat in front of the mirror again, and continued to put on makeup.
"Oh, that teacher Wu Baoling is really good at makeup. I can't do it no matter what."
Ren Quan said: "Don't put it on, just wash your face. It will be refreshing and beautiful!"
"How can that be done? Today is a formal occasion!"
"We were late last time, what should we do if we are late again this time?"
After saying this, Li Binbin suddenly panicked, thinking that he couldn't put on his makeup anyway, so he listened to Ren Quan's advice, washed his face, then simply tied his long hair into a ponytail, and the two of them went out together.
After arriving at the hotel where Yang Ye was treating guests, he reported his name and was invited by the staff to sit down in the banquet hall.
This time the two of them arrived very early, and there was no one in the banquet hall.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the side. Not long after, Zhou Jie, dressed energetically, walked in.
Zhou Jie is considered a popular figure in school. During his school days, he performed "Ruan Lingyu" with Maggie Cheung and Liang Jiahua.
The two quickly stood up and called their senior brothers, and introduced themselves.
Zhou Jie said in surprise: "You are also in the show?"
"Yes, we are level 93."
"Then you are lucky. You are only a sophomore in college and you can get this drama. The script of this drama is very good."
The three alumni gathered together, which made them very proud, because this time there were students from Beijing Film Academy and China Theater for the interview, but the one they came to won the first place.
"I heard there are four protagonists in total. Who is the other one?"
"He is a Hong Kong actor."
While talking, the door was pushed open, and the staff led a very cute girl with big eyes, small stature, and walked in.
The girl politely said thank you to the staff, turned around and greeted the three of them: "Hello, my name is Jia Jingwen, from Taiwan, and I play Pang Feiyan in "Young Man Bao Qingtian"."
The three people quickly introduced themselves, but they were very surprised. Are they not from Hong Kong? Why is it from Taiwan?
Jia Jingwen explained: "I am from Taipei. I came to Hong Kong as a trainee three years ago. After graduation, I signed a contract with Yang Ji, so I am considered a Hong Kong actor."
After the first "Voice of China", Jia Jingwen wanted to join Yang Ji as a trainee, and successfully passed the exam in the second year.
After graduating last year, I starred in some small roles in ATV TV series.
The second female lead in "Young Man Bao Qingtian" this time was hand-picked by Yang Ye.
The three of them were very curious about Taiwanese people, so they got together and started chatting.
Before long, guests gradually arrived, all of whom were from Hong Kong, including director Hu Mingkai, costume director Wu Baoling, martial arts instructor Liang Xiaoxiong, actor Cheng Peipei, etc.
When they get together, they chat in Cantonese. Fortunately, Jia Jingwen has been living in Hong Kong for several years and is relatively fluent in Cantonese.
Zhou Jie, Ren Quan and Li Binbin were more embarrassed and couldn't understand a word they said.
Zheng Peipei has a more outspoken and cheerful personality. When she saw this, she took the initiative and said: "They all speak Mandarin, don't you think these children can't understand?"
Cheng Peipei is highly respected and an evergreen figure in the film industry. As early as the 1960s, she became the martial arts queen with Golden Swallow and became famous in the Chinese world. Even Yang Ye was polite when meeting her.
As soon as she said this, everyone felt a little embarrassed. Hu Mingkai quickly said: "Sister Peipei, I don't want to speak Mandarin, but I can't speak Mandarin well. We are all our own people, so we didn't pay attention."
< br>
Some words in Plastic Mandarin made Zheng Peipei want to laugh a little, and said: "Then you have to speak it too, otherwise, if you talk to them about the play in the future, they will not understand. How will the play be filmed?"
< br>
"Okay, my chicken is here, I'll tie it if I try hard!"
Zheng Peipei's words made Zhou Jie and the others have a great impression of Zheng Peipei.
Among Hong Kong actors, Cheng Peipei's artistic ethics and character are surprisingly good. Most of the people who have worked with her have formed a deep friendship with her.
When The Originals was filming Shaobao, Zheng Peipei and Zhou Jie had always been in harmony with each other as mother and son. They felt that they felt most comfortable playing mother and son with each other.
When Zheng Peipei passed away, countless stars who had worked with her, including Zhou Jie, Li Binbin, Hu Ge, and Liu Yifei, posted messages to mourn her.
Liu Tao and Zheng Peipei were as close as mother and daughter. When Zheng Peipei left, Liu Tao stayed with her.
But when it comes to things she doesn't like, Zheng Peipei doesn't hide them, she always talks about them directly. She once said bluntly that Zhang Baizhi is a big star, his acting skills are good, but his work attitude is not good.
Because Yang Ye was the producer of this drama, everyone was more cautious and started chatting about the relevant content when they got together.
While chatting happily, Yang Ye pushed the door open and said with a smile: "It was a lively chat!"
Everyone quickly stood up to greet him, Yang Ye smiled and said: "Everyone, take a seat!"
He said to Chen Daomin who came in with him: "Mr. Chen, please come this way."
Chen Daomin said: "Please!"
Yang Ye sat down at the main seat, with Zheng Peipei and Chen Daomin sitting next to him.
The banquet started soon, and exquisite dishes were served one after another.
Yang Ye raised his glass and said: "This is my second time supervising the production of a TV series. I hope everyone will cooperate well. Our goal is to become the national ratings champion. Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses together: "Rating champion!"
During the dinner, Yang Ye talked about the positioning of this TV series, which focuses on youth and suspense. It is actually a costume idol drama, which is completely different from the historical legend of the previous "Bao Qingtian".
Then everyone was invited to attend the premiere of "The Matrix".
"The Matrix" is being filmed and produced at the same time. It will be released simultaneously in 100 markets around the world during the Christmas period of 1994.
In 1993, Yang Ye released four movies: "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", "Kung Fu", "Terminator 3", and "Speed".
With 120 million, 380 million, 500 million, and 360 million respectively, it swept the global box office with a total of 1.36 billion U.S. dollars, reaching the pinnacle of his career.
The sci-fi blockbuster "The Matrix", which will be released in the Christmas season this year, has been hotly anticipated before its release, attracting strong attention from the global media.
Regarding the release, film producers around the world have cooperated unconditionally, using the best resources and vigorously promoting it.
This momentum is much stronger than the release of "The Matrix" in the original time and space.
After all, the original creators such as the Wachowski brothers, Keanu Reeves, and Carrie-Anne Moss were all second-tier figures in the film industry. When Warner released "The Matrix", it was not very confident.
But now, with a box-office monster like Yang Ye personally creating it, and having a godlike record in 1993, all the film producers have full confidence in him, so they have launched a simultaneous global release. Yang Ye's previous "ET" also had a global simultaneous release, but that time was more of a gimmick, and the market for simultaneous release was less than one-third of the current market.
When they heard that the movie produced by Yang Ye would be released simultaneously in 100 markets around the world, everyone exclaimed and admired Yang Ye.
Chen Daomin praised: "To make movies to this extent has really given us Chinese people and Chinese-language movies a face. Mr. Yang, I give you a toast!"
Yang Ye raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Let's all join together!"
Everyone then raised their glasses together and drank it all.
Yang Ye put down his wine glass and said to Zhou Jie and others: "You young actors were carefully selected by me. This is a good opportunity, so you must perform well.
When filming, I have to ask a lot of advice from veteran actors like the director, Sister Peipei, and Mr. Chen. Don’t let me down. ”
Several young people all felt excited and toasted to Yang Ye together, patting their chests and promising that they would perform well.
Next, everyone talked about the upcoming "The Matrix", and their voices were full of expectations, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Yang Ye was toasted by everyone and drank a little too much, so he went to the toilet midway.
He peed himself, and when he came out, he touched his hair in front of the mirror by the sink.
But he saw Li Binbin standing next to the mirror, parting his bangs to both sides with wet hands.
Yang Ye was amused: "Why are you in the same posture as me?"
Li Binbin was stunned and realized that the person next to him was Yang Ye. He blushed and said, "I'm used to this."
Yang Ye nodded and looked at Li Binbin. He saw that she did not wear makeup and was dressed very simply, but her long hair was flowing and she was charming and charming.
I asked casually: "Are your family conditions difficult?"
Li Binbin nodded a little inferiorly.
Yang Ye smiled and said: "A person's origin cannot be determined, but he can change his destiny through acquired efforts. As long as you seize this opportunity, it is not difficult to change your destiny against the will of heaven."
Li Binbin quickly stood up straight and said loyally: "I will!"
Yang Ye took out a card and said: "If you have difficulties in life, you can call me."
Li Binbin took the card with trembling hands and said gratefully: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, you joined my company, we will be a family from now on, let's go!"
The two of them returned to the banquet hall one after another, eating and drinking. The commotion lasted until about eight o'clock, when the guests and hosts had a good time and dispersed.
……
Yang Ye returned to the hotel, lay on the bed, and put his phone aside. I thought, who will call first?
The guy gave Li Binbin and Jia Jingwen a card respectively, telling them that if they had any difficulties, they could ask him for help.
Both Li Binbin and Jia Jingwen have suffered family changes recently.
Li Binbin's mother has a heart disease, and treatment costs tens of thousands of dollars, which is an astronomical sum for her family. She has been taking advantage of her studies to work hard to earn money to treat her mother's illness.
Jia Jingwen originally came from a very good family, but her father entered the mainland market to invest and suffered heavy losses. The originally wealthy family was suddenly impoverished, and her father could not bear the blow and became ill.
Jia Jingwen has been working hard to take on roles recently to alleviate her family's difficulties.
For the first and second female lead selected by Yang Ye, it was a timely help for them.
If, as Yang Ye said, they can win the ratings championship after the TV series is broadcast, and they become popular because of it, then all the difficulties they are facing now will be solved.
Almost at the same time, Yang Ye became the only hope shared by the two little girls.
Around ten o'clock, the phone finally rang.
Yang Ye smiled slightly, like a fisherman, and said to himself: "Is it Bingbing? Or Wenwen?"
He answered the phone and said: "Hello!"
A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone: "Teacher!"
Yang Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "It's Gang Gang, why did you think of calling me?"
"I would like to express my condolences to you suddenly."
"Suddenly? You should have expressed your condolences to me a long time ago."
"Then how do I know you want to be comforted?"
"Of course I want to be comforted!"
"I'm in Xiamen now!"
"What are you doing in Xiamen? Let's hold a concert!"
"Yes, I'm working very hard to help you make money, boss!"
"Tch, it's like you don't make money yourself. Did you encounter something and couldn't handle it, so you thought of me?"
"Yes!"
Yang Ye snorted and said, "I'll just tell you what's going on!"
It turned out that Yang Yuying was invited to Xiamen for a concert. As soon as she got off the plane, she received a very luxurious reception.
The organizer dispatched a fleet of six Mercedes-Benz S600s, led by a man named Wen Feng to receive the event.
Halfway through the car, a traffic accident suddenly occurred and the Mercedes-Benz was smashed.
Yang Yuying was so frightened that her face turned pale, but Li Wenfeng did not change her expression. She made an understatement on the phone, and soon a Rolls-Royce was dispatched to take Yang Yuying to the hotel.
Yang Yuying thought the matter was over, but in the evening, Lai Wenfeng came to apologize in person.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yang, I scared you today. The car crashed and crashed. What I'm most worried about is that you were scared."
Yang Yuying quickly expressed that she was fine, but Lai Wenfeng took out a piece of jade from her arms and said sincerely: "After what happened today, I thought about it, and this is the only way to make me feel at ease. Please accept it." ”
After hearing what Yang Yuying said, Yang Ye curled his lips and said, "This guy is trying to show his kindness to you. Hitting a Mercedes-Benz, calling him a Rolls-Royce, and giving him jade are all showing his financial resources. He wants to leave you a gift. Deeply impressed, did you accept his gift?”
"Take it. I heard that their family is very powerful in Xiamen. I dare not not accept it!"
"Take it if you accept it, but don't have any more contact with him. His family's money is not clean, and sooner or later the family will be ruined."
"Huh?"
After Yang Yuying had seen a super rich man like Yang Ye, she was not too shocked by Lai Wenfeng's move to show off her financial resources.
However, she still has a good impression of Lai Wenfeng. The guy is good-looking and using this trick to chase her shows that he is very interested in her.
However, Yang Ye had arranged and settled many things for her over the years, and she was extremely dependent on Yang Ye.
So she felt it was necessary to tell Yang Ye about what happened today.
Besides, even if she didn't say it, her agent would tell Yang Ye.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ye said such words, and Yang Yuying couldn't help being stunned.
Yang Ye said bluntly: "His family is an oil smuggler, and they also opened a trading company in Hong Kong. The guy in Lai Wenfeng is responsible for the smuggling business in Hong Kong. He has been targeted. Stay away from him."
< br>
"Oh!"
Yang Yuying was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat! (End of chapter)
