Chapter 143 ‘Talk about the Script’
Wireless’s acquisition battle cannot be completed in ten days and a half, nor can it be completed by one or two people.
With the filing of the Han-Tang Private Equity Fund, Rongchen Pictures’ intention to acquire Wireless was revealed to the outside world.
The remaining three companies have used various methods to create an atmosphere for acquisitions that is beneficial to them.
In the office of the chairman of China Film Group Corporation, there was an unusual phone call.
"Wang Ju, don't worry, we will spare no effort to support Li Chen."
"Old Yang, I haven't seen such a young man for a long time. Don't have any ideological baggage. The bureau will be a bowl of water." .”
“Thank you, Mr. Wang, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, the head of the China Film Industry took a breath.
Even the General Administration was alarmed. What does a bowl of water mean?
That means he won't be biased. This is to free his mind!
"Xiao Chen, ask San Ping to come to my office." The head of China Film Group picked up the phone and gave the order.
After a while, Han Sanping appeared in front of him.
"Sanping, I just finished a phone call with Bureau Wang."
Han Sanping said: "What did Bureau Wang say, Director Yang?"
Director Yang chuckled and said, "Director Wang asked us to 'cherish' our talents."
Han Sanping thought for a moment and then came to his senses.
It seems that Li Chen's actions this time have come into the sight of senior officials.
The above are definitely happy to see both parties acquire Wireless.
The best is to be successful, and the successful acquisition of mainland private enterprises is also in line with the above meaning.
Han Sanping sneered: "That kid Li Chen! Director Yang, let's not tell him about this, otherwise this kid will become more and more unscrupulous in the future."
Director Yang laughed heartily: "Young man How come there are no edges and corners? What’s more, I saw that some of his words were not without purpose.” , in addition to our market getting better and better."
"The main contradiction is that Hollywood investors have lost confidence in him because of the box office failure of two consecutive movies."
Han San. Ping knew in his heart that Director Yang was pointing him out.
"Director Yang is right. I have already secured new investors for "Red Cliff", and China Film Group only occupies a small part."
Director Yang nodded: "It's good that you know what's going on for you this year. I don’t ask for merit, but I ask for no faults!”
“Thank you, Director Yang, for the tip.”
After leaving the office, Han Sanping chuckled and shook his head, muttering to himself: “What if. In the past, this boy was considered to have obtained Shang Fang's sword. "
The boy who Han Sanping said had already obtained Shang Fang's sword was kissing his girlfriend goodbye at the airport.
Liu Yifei drove him to the airport, and the crew of "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2" set off for the Magic City.
In the sedan, the two kissed so hard that Li Chen wanted to swallow Miss Liu.
Finally separated, Miss Liu had a neat ponytail and a beige suspender dress with a pink face and watery eyes.
"I went to Shanghai, and you called me at nine o'clock every night! Did you hear me!"
Li Chen hugged her in his arms: "Yes, there is another one. "Thieves" will be released in a few months, and you and I will also graduate, so you should squeeze in more time to think about the script."
Miss Liu hummed obediently.
“Sometimes, an actor’s inadvertent action can become a classic. In the scene in "Thieves" where you light up a cigarette and smoke, it is not a big part, but it is also a challenge for you."
Miss Liu sat up and looked at her clearly: "What do you mean?"
Li Chen smiled and said: "Your image on the screen and TV has always been fairy-like and pure. Yu Wushuang’s positive image.”
“This time he is an undercover thief. Whether he can break through the shackles and open up the drama is the only way for every actor.”
Miss Liu listened very carefully, bit her lip and nodded seriously.
Li Chen held her face and kissed her: "Don't worry, I will help you."
Miss Liu pushed Li Chen's head away and said arrogantly: "Who wants you? Help! I can do it without you!"
Li Chen laughed, and the two of them sat there for more than ten minutes.
Li Chen entered the airport with two assistants.
The filming location was chosen in Shanghai instead of Tianjin because Li Chen believed that this was the time in 2006.
The most urban area is undoubtedly Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
And Ren Zhonglun invited him to participate in the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival. Andy Lau and Fan Zhiyi were also invited.
Simply, Li Chen chose Shanghai as the filming location.
The shooting was mainly concentrated in three places: Jinmao Grand Hyatt Hotel, Centenary Mansion, and Yangtze River Bridge
After getting off the plane, Li Chen went straight to Jinmao Grand Hyatt and made an appointment with Ren Zhonglun to meet the next day.
Li Chen stayed in the VIP Suite, which had all the service facilities and the hotel provided a conference room.
Li Chen asked his assistant to summon the leading actors to the conference room. Several leading actors arrived one day earlier than Li Chen.
On the last day of May, the crew of "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2" gathered in Shanghai.
Liu Dehua, Chen Baoguo, Fan Zhengtong and Huang Bo entered the conference room and looked at Li Chen differently than usual.
Several people greeted Li Chen one after another. Liu Dehua and Chen Baoguo sat on either side of Li Chen.
Seeing that several people looked unnatural, Li Chen smiled and said: "What? You don't recognize me anymore? Didn't you just meet me a few days ago?"
Liu Dehua and Li Chen are very familiar with each other. He joked: "Don't talk about them, even if we are so familiar, I really don't know you until these two days."
"4.5 billion, the gap is really big! It's not like me, who gets bankrupt every three to five. Once."
Huang Bo laughed and said, "Brother Hua, compared to our net worth, our net worth is not as thick as Director Li's finger."
Li Chen looked at Huang Bo with an annoyed smile.
Huang Bo immediately changed his tone: "However, compared to fans, Director Li can't keep up with you, Brother Hua."
Fan Congli's heart rippled, and she sighed pitifully: "But I can't compare with Director Li in both of them, what do you think I should do, Brother Bo?"
The atmosphere became lively, and the leading actors gradually started chatting.
In fact, Li Chen's actions in the past few days were so big that they, the actors, felt like they were not from the same world.
"It's okay, Mengmeng, dad is here. Whatever Director Li has, dad can give it to you." Chen Baoguo entered the scene in a second.
The meeting room immediately burst into laughter.
Fan Congcheng smiled from ear to ear.
Chen Shu also said: "Mengmeng, Mr. Lin (Lin Tai) is no worse than Director Li. We are no better than others. No one can beat you if you fight me."
How many people With his witty remarks, Fan Chong immediately became the object of everyone's ridicule.
Zuo Xiaoqing glanced at Fan Zhengyi and smiled without saying a word, thinking that the other person's appearance was indeed a standard beauty.
I don’t know whether Director Li chose Fan because of her ‘person’ or because of her ‘popularity’!
The great directors are more dissolute than the others, and Li Chen is now famous at a young age.
I’m afraid there are a few women who can’t help but lie down as long as they hook their fingers.
Others don’t know it, but she herself doesn’t have confidence. Unfortunately, Director Li never seems to have this meaning for her.
Li Chen smiled and said: "Okay, seeing that everyone got into the mood quickly, I don't have much to say. I will be the host tonight, which is considered a launch party."
The next day, "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2" was held in LaCrosse The multi-function hall of the grand hotel was opened in a low-key manner.
The crew stationed in Shanghai in advance and arranged a multi-functional hall that can accommodate 750 people as the court scene.
The later exterior scenes can be shot elsewhere.
The media did not learn about the filming of "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2" until it started filming, and the confidentiality work was not bad.
The media flocked to the LaCrosse, but the hotel blocked their way.
This is one of the reasons why Li Chen chose the world’s tallest five-star hotel as the filming location.
"The box office of "Those Years" settled at 275 million, and the box office of three films of different genres produced by Rongchen Pictures all surpassed "Hero""
"Liu Yifei won the high-end jewelry endorsement, Sony once again extended an olive branch to Liu Yifei.”
“Father’s Love Like a Mountain 2” launched in Shanghai in a low-key manner.
"Scarlett beats Jolie and ranks first among the 100 sexiest women in the world selected by FHM."
"Zhang Ziyi ranks 86th, surpassing Tom Cruise's girlfriend Katie Helm Si and "King Kong" actress Naomi Watts. "
Zhang Ziyi's selection has made her popular in Cannes, and "The Banquet" has also been favored by more buyers.
The set of "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2".
During the lunch break, several leading actors sat around and ate with Li Chen.
Huang Bo munched on the white-cut chicken supplied by the hotel Yue Zhenxuan: "If the food of all the crew can be compared with Director Li, what more can I ask for!"
Li Chen ignored Huang. Bo's emotional life.
"Hey, Director Li, what do you think is the basis for selecting the top 100 sexy beauties in the world on the Internet?" Zuo Xiao said coolly.
Compared with Fan Zhitong, maybe she doesn't have the advantage.
But compared with Zhang Ziyi, she is confident that she can’t compare to her except for the celebrity status.
No matter in terms of figure or feminine charm, she is not bad at all.
Women's comparison mentality is everywhere. Even Chen Shu put down his chopsticks, wiped his lips gracefully, and waited for Li Chen's answer.
It’s hard to comment on Liu Dehua, Huang Bo and Chen Baoguo.
In fact, everyone knows the answer.
Fan Congchen also stared at Li Chen with interest.
A pair of charming eyes are colorful, like a beautiful snake spitting out letters.
More sexy than that, she can beat that international Zhang by a few blocks.
Zuo Xiaoqing and Li Chen are also familiar with each other, so they have no worries about speaking.
Li Chen wiped his mouth with a tissue and glanced at Zuo Xiaoqing: "If you were the starring role in "Memoirs of a Geisha", you would also be on the list."
Huang Bo said it in one sentence He lowered his head and his shoulders trembled.
Zuo Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Director Li, you mean that I am sexier than Zhang Ziyi?"
The words were a bit provocative. Sitting beside him was Fan Zhitong, who was worried about the world being in chaos.
"Director Li, if I were to act in "Memoirs of a Geisha", where would I rank?" Fan Zhengtong said charmingly.
Li Chen didn't want to be fooled by her. The Fan in front of him was dressed in prison uniform and his complexion was pale and pale. It was difficult for people to associate the word sexy.
"You two are deliberately trying to dig a hole for me by offending people like this? Brother Hua is known for his high emotional intelligence. Let Brother Hua answer you two."
Liu Dehua quickly put down his chopsticks: "Hey, hey, don't mess with me."
Li Chen said with a sullen face: "Old Huang, why don't you tell me, I see you are smiling happily."
Huang Bo stopped laughing immediately: "Why am I laughing, Director Li, you saw it wrong."
Zuo Xiaoqing and Fan Zhitong looked at each other, and saw that Li Chen didn't want to answer, and he didn't Struggle again.
In the afternoon, shooting continued.
This scene is the first time Fan Zhitong has gone to court.
Decoration, lights are being prepared.
Everything was ready, and the recorder gave Li Chen an OK gesture.
“Action”
Fan Congcheng entered the stage with handcuffs, and all the extras and starring actors in the audience looked at her.
The camera zooms in. "Click!"
Everyone at the scene looked at Li Chen without knowing why.
Li Chen looked at Fan Zhitong: "No, what I want in this scene is not Chu Chu's pity! What I want is fear!"
"This is the first time you go to court, wearing a prison uniform. , wearing handcuffs, so many strangers looking at you strangely, are you not afraid?”
"Pity is how others feel about you, not how you position yourself! Come again!"
As soon as Li Chen spoke, the scene was silent, and Fan Zhitong felt a little stressed: "I understand, Director Li, do it again "
Li Chen nodded: "You can use it yourself. Do you have any natural small movements when you are afraid, such as shrinking your body or tightening your shoulders? Be natural, natural!"
This scene has to be NGed five times to be considered a pass.
Li Chen plans to finish filming the court scenes within a week. At the same time, the other two assistant directors are also filming other scenes.
It is equivalent to three lines running simultaneously. The scene of the parking lot incident does not require the participation of Andy Lau and Chen Shu.
This shooting mode also made the leading actors feel quite novel. Thinking that this is Director Li's graduation film, it was probably because they were in a hurry.
For five consecutive days, the leading actors had a great time filming.
At this time, everyone can already predict that this drama is likely to be another movie with a box office of hundreds of millions.
Imagine that even the leading actors were so nervous and gripping during the filming.
What kind of mood will the audience feel? No one can guess the ending until the last moment.
We are halfway through filming the courtroom scenes, and today is the scene between Andy Lau and Fan Clan.
In the past few days, Li Chen has been tortured by several leading actors. Everyone has problems to one degree or another.
Chen Baoguo is the one with the least NG, and Fan Zhengtong is the one with the most.
Everything is ready.
"Action"
Liu Dehua, dressed in a prosecutor's uniform, with his hair in a three-quarter length, was meticulously combed, with a condensed aura, and his sharp eyes were staring at Fan Chongtong who was standing in the dock as he slowly walked in.
The camera zoomed in to give a close-up of Fan Zhengtong, with a tired expression on his face and droopy eyelids, avoiding Liu Dehua's gaze.
"Defendant Lin Mengmeng, on the night of the crime, did you drive your red Cayenne into the scene!"
"Yes."
"After parking the car, did you make an appointment with the victim Yang Dan and then take her into your car?"
"Yes."
"After your car just started, she I got out of the car again and started quarreling with you!"
Liu Dehua's momentum gradually increased, and then Fan Congcheng's response became smaller and smaller.
"Then you drove into her!" Liu Dehua suddenly emphasized his tone, focusing all his energy on his eyes, staring at Fan Congtong.
Fan Zhengtong shook his head and hesitated, his eyes scattered: "I drank too much at the time and my mind was no longer clear."
Liu Dehua continued to strengthen his momentum: "You were drunk at the time, but your mind must be very clear. Otherwise, how could it be possible? Stop the car while you are sober!"
"Ka! It's over!"
Hearing Director Li shout, Fan Zhitong seemed to be in disarray. , for fear of being yelled at by Director Li again.
Liu Dehua exclaimed: "Director Li, when I put on this uniform, I feel energetic all over."
On the set, Andy Lau knew the rules very well, and like everyone else, he called Li Chen "Director Li".
Li Chen also rarely showed a smile: "Brother Hua, this is called uniform temptation!"
Fan Zhitong was sweating all over, returned to the hotel room, and quickly took a shower.
Lying on the bed, Fan Congcheng had an idea in her mind that made her restless like a devil.
Then he sat in front of the dressing mirror and started putting on makeup.
In Li Chen's suite, he had just taken a shower and had video calls with Ms. Liu on the necessary subjects every night on time.
“Miss me?” Miss Liu smiled.
"What nonsense! As soon as the show is over, all I can think about is you!"
Miss Liu beamed with joy, but she was not happy for two seconds.
Li Chen smiled and said, "It's all about your fragrant body and your sobbing voice."
Miss Liu blushed instantly and gave Li Chen a look that was so charming that she couldn't bear to die: "Rogue!"
Li Chen laughed and said: "The gangster only plays tricks on you!"
The two were talking about love, but the doorbell rang.
"Wait a minute, someone is coming, don't hang up."
"Well, go quickly."
Li Chen was wearing a nightgown and looked out of the peephole: "Fan Cong? What is she doing here?"
Li Chen opened the door and saw Fan Cong, who had short, ear-length hair, with his hands behind his back.
A black hollow silk long-sleeved upper body, a pair of slim light blue jeans on the lower body, paired with a pair of white high-heeled sandals, looking refreshing and refreshing.
Li Chen was half leaning against the door and did not let her in. He only smiled and said, "What? What's wrong?"
Fan Congchen took out the script from behind, looking simple and pitiful.
"There are some parts of the script that I can't figure out quite right. Can Brother Chen personally guide me so that I don't get NGed by you every day? I'm almost autistic." What do you mean, his two lifetimes have been in vain.
We no longer call Director Li Brother Chen.
He also encountered this situation in his previous life.
But at that time, he was like a ghost, and he became worse than a beast for a time!
I was just chatting with someone in the room for an hour, and nothing happened.
In this life, he is not confused, but the result is still the same.
The weak water is three thousand, take a ladle and drink it. With Miss Liu, the probability of his cheating is lower than that of the high-speed rail.
Except for their different names, there is nothing different between Fan Cong and Fan Wei.
“Let’s talk about the script, okay. You go to the cafe on the 87th floor and wait for me. I’ll change my clothes and come.”
Fan Zhengtong was stunned and stunned. Before he could speak, the door had closed automatically.
Fan Zhengcheng's self-confidence was severely affected. He hesitated for a few seconds before walking toward the elevator with a frown on his face.
The door of a room not far away also closed quietly.
Zuo Xiaoqing held the script in one hand and leaned against the door gently stroking her chest with the other.
I am glad that Fan Zhengtong took the lead, otherwise, I might be the one who would be rejected.
I didn't expect that Director Li was really a little different.
"Talk about the Script" was actually able to resist not chatting in the room, and even offered to go to the 87th floor coffee shop in full view of everyone.
This is for fear that there will be no witnesses! Are there any cats that don’t smell fish? She doesn't believe it!
He turned back to the computer and asked Miss Liu casually: "Who is it?"
Li Chen didn't hide it either: "Fan Congchen, you want to talk about the script with me."
Miss Liu looked playful, her eyes shining through the screen on Li Chen's face as if they were real.
He said in a bad tone: "Talk about the script? Then why don't you ask me to come in? We read around for a whole day and we still didn't understand it?"
These words sounded aggressive and murderous.
Li Chen immediately looked at his heart and his nose: "I asked her to wait in the coffee shop. There are many people there, and it is easier to explain the 'script' clearly."
Miss Liu Jiao He snorted: "You know what's going on! Is ten minutes enough?"
"Ten minutes?"
"Why, is that too much?"
"Not much! Just ten minutes! Then I'll go and send her away in ten minutes."
Liu Yifei pursed her lips angrily.
After turning off the video, Liu Yifei lay on the bed and picked up a book but couldn't read it.
All I could think about was talking about the script.
Normally she couldn't find fault with her boyfriend's behavior, but she just felt uncomfortable.
A pair of small feet kicked the quilt several times, as if the quilt in front of him was Li Chen.
One hand picked up the photo of her and Li Chen at Hollywood Beach on the bedside table.
Poking Li Chen’s head, puffing out his cheeks and talking to himself.
"If you dare to do evil, I will let you become my cat. I will do what I say, hum!"
Fan Zhitong arrived at the coffee shop on the 87th floor, and many people recognized this person. Big black and red star.
But the quality of people who can live in LaCrosse is much higher than those irrational fans.
Scattered two or three people came up to ask Fan to take photos and sign autographs.
Fan Yu declined the photo and sat alone by the window overlooking the night.
The lights on the Bund are brilliant and the neon lights are shining as far as the eye can see.
When Li Chen came, Fan Zhengyi had already adjusted his mentality and smiled appropriately.
Li Chen walked over and sat down. Fan Chongcheng smiled and said, "I don't know what you like, brother Chen, so I took it upon myself to order a cappuccino."
Li Chen picked it up. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Fan Congcheng.
I don’t know whether Fan Congchen did it intentionally or unintentionally.
She must know the secret code of cappuccino.
“I still like American food.”
Fan Congcheng’s expression froze, but he instantly covered up his embarrassment with a smile: “Then I’ll ask the waiter to change a drink for you.”
"No, I'm not here to drink coffee."
Fan Congcheng looked a little unnatural, and he wanted to smooth his long hair out of habit.
In the end, I forgot that because of this drama, I had already cut my hair short and ear-length.
But he was secretly measuring in his heart: "The secret word of American style is Qingchun (pure). By saying this, is he implying that what he likes is always the type of Liu Yifei, who is not like himself?"
"Brother Chen, do you really despise me?"
Fan Zhengtong took a sip of the coffee cup with both hands and suddenly bit her lip.
Li Chen said funny: "You are so funny! The lead actor actually asked the director if you look down on me."
Fan Zhengtong smiled easily: "That's right, I'm neurotic."
Li Chen didn't have time to talk to Fan Zhengtong: "Don't we want to talk about the script? I don't have much time, let's get started."
Fan Zhengtong was stunned again. After ten years in the industry, he had seen so many men of all kinds.
I have never seen a man like Li Chen.
Few of the men I met before wanted to talk seriously with me.
But the mystery in front of her was a young man who was one year younger than her and couldn't deviate from the script.
Is it really different? Or play hard to get.
