Chapter 130 Royal Sister Body Lolita Face

In a teahouse with ordinary decoration, Chen Shiping poured himself a cup of tea with a small teapot. Xu Qing, who was sitting opposite, looked around the teahouse, still puzzled.

This kind of small teahouse is too ordinary, the tea is not good, and the snacks are also very bad. She really can't understand why Chen Shiping chose this kind of place.

Xu Qing watched with some depression as Chen Shiping picked up a piece of pea yellow and put it into his mouth. He couldn't help but asked, "Why do you come to a place like this? It's good to have a cafe in Xinjiekou."

"I'm not used to drinking coffee." Chen Shiping smiled and said, "Isn't this going to save you money?"

"Thank you." Xu Qing said depressedly. This was very different from what she thought.

However, the pea yellow here was really delicious, and Xu Qing couldn't help but pinch a piece and put it in her mouth. Her baby's fat little face was bulging, and she looked very cute.

It's just that it's very different from Xu Qing in Chen Shiping's impression. Cuteness can't be compared with sexiness.

Seeing Chen Shiping looking at her, Xu Qing felt a little proud. She raised her hand to push the hair back from her ears and gave him a coquettish look.

Chen Shiping didn't care, he just tried to find traces of sexiness on the round face in front of him.

How did such a cute little baby face become so sexy and charming later on?

"Have you seen enough? Don't worry about me telling your girlfriend." Xu Qing said angrily, but in her heart she was testing what kind of person Chen Shiping was.

Whether he is a coward or a law-abiding person depends on how he answers.

When he heard what she said, Chen Shiping withdrew his gaze and didn't bother to answer her at all.

"Why don't you speak?" Xu Qing said a little depressed.

Chen Shiping took a sip of tea and said, "We are not familiar with each other, so what can we say?"

Xu Qing was choked by Chen Shiping's answer. She lost her temper immediately and couldn't help but said, "Then you can't take the initiative. If you take the initiative, you'll get familiar with it."

"I didn't ask you out, shouldn't you take the initiative?" Chen Shiping said calmly.

Xu Qing: "." I was unable to refute.

After thinking for a moment, she took the initiative to pick up the topic and asked, "Tell me about the new movie you are preparing. Is it true that there is no suitable role for me?"

Chen Shiping nodded and said, "You are too young. What I am looking for is a charming woman."

Who can say that there is no charm! You have no charm!

Xu Qing snorted and said, "You don't know me well, how do you know I'm not charming!"

"Then give me your charming one."

Before Chen Shiping finished speaking, he saw Xu Qing raise her hands and stretch slightly. The tight white sweater immediately showed off her beautiful figure. Her graceful lines were particularly sexy in the sun.

Xu Qing now has a royal body and a lolita face. Chen Shiping suddenly discovered the charm of her age.

Seeing Chen Shiping looking at her intensely and looking downwards, Xu Qing immediately put down her hands and crossed her chest and lay on the table.

Chen Shiping seemed to bounce twice when he saw the dim sum on the table, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. Today's dim sum was so chewy and the portion was generous!

"How is it? Are you charming?" Xu Qing said and suddenly couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and said: "Haha, it feels so strange."

Chen Shiping couldn't help but laugh. Twenty-year-old Xu Qing was still a bit immature and could not be as charming as a young woman.

But this makes it even more attractive.

Seeing Chen Shiping laughing along with him, Xu Qing stepped forward and said, "Can you tell me about your new movie now? Give me a role."

Chen Shiping thought for a while but shook his head and said, "No, I have already found an actor."

"Who is it?" Xu Qing asked curiously. She wanted to see what kind of woman Chen Shiping had a crush on.

"Gong Li."

Hearing the name Gong Li, Xu Qing felt that there was something wrong with Chen Shiping's vision. Gong Li was obviously earthy, and there was nothing romantic about her.

But thinking of the woman who called Chen Shiping before, she asked curiously: "Who called you just now? The accent sounds weird."

"You talk too much." Chen Shiping glanced at her and said, "First act in the play Dongfang Invincible. If you perform well, I will ask you to be the heroine next time."

Xu Qing said oh, and couldn't help but ask: "What is considered a good performance?"

"The Invincibles of the East are played by Lin Qingxia, and Ren Yingying is Guan Zhilin. If you can not be overshadowed by them and be remembered by the audience, you will be considered a good performer."

Hearing Chen Shiping's standards, Xu Qing was immediately discouraged. How could they compare? They were not on the same level at all.

Rather than competing with them in the movie, it would be better to deal with Chen Shiping directly to save trouble.

No matter whether a white cat or a black cat catches mice, it is a good cat. Anyway, it is Chen Shiping who makes the decision. It would be better to deal with him directly.

"If you have time tonight, how about I invite you to dance?" Xu Qing suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Chen Shiping shook his head and said, "It's inappropriate."

Xu Qing thought of Chen Shiping's identity and understood what he meant by inappropriate, but this sentence of inappropriate was more interesting. He didn't refuse but just said it was inappropriate. It was interesting to think about it.

Xu Qing picked up a piece of pea yellow, put it to her mouth and gently bit off a small piece, stretched out the tip of her tongue and gently licked the corner of her mouth and said, "How about just the two of us?"

Chen Shiping looked at her, and after a while he suddenly said: "Next time, I'm not in the mood today."

Having been "threatened" by Lin Qingxia just now, he was still a little wary at this time.

Xu Qing said disappointedly: "It's another time. I have to work hard every time I ask you out."

Better next time. What you get too easily is not worth the money.

Ten minutes later, Chen Shiping drove Xu Qing back to Beijing Film Academy and went back to work in the factory.

Although Xu Qing is good, work is important.

It's better for the little girl to whet her appetite. Xu Qing said that she was called Princess Xu for a reason. There was an aura of arrogance about her, so it would be better if she tempered her temper more.

When Chen Shiping returned to the factory, he went to the editing room. The soundtrack and coloring of Wives and Concubines had been completed, and the subtitles had been completed, and the final product had now been cut out.

After checking it, you can prepare to promote it for release, but I don’t know if it will pass the review.

If there is no way to show it in the mainland, Chen Shiping can only hold it in his hands for the time being and wait until he attends Venice before arranging to show it in Hong Kong and other regions.

There is also a mandatory requirement for films to participate in the film festival. The shortlisted films have either never been released to the public or can only be released locally in the country of production.

Xiangjiang hasn't come back yet, and Chen Shiping can't even show it in Xiangjiang, otherwise he won't be able to participate in the Venice Film Festival.

In the editing room, after watching the movie, Chen Shiping was very satisfied with the final product. He immediately took away all the copies and even the materials, leaving nothing behind for them.

Before the movie is released, you must keep the copy in your own hands. If something unexpected happens, your work will be in vain.

When he came out of the editing room, Chen Shiping also met Cheng Kaige. Looking at his haggard expression, he guessed that he had been busy doing post-production these days. When the two met in the corridor, Cheng Kaige didn't even look at Chen Shiping, he still held grudges in his heart.

In particular, Cheng Kaige became even more angry when he saw Chen Shiping living in such a prosperous life. He was busy with commercial films and artistic films, and the most important thing was that he didn't waste time getting promoted and making a fortune.

Comparing myself with him, I felt like I was in vain.

The most terrifying thing is that Cheng Kaige is worried that he will not be able to catch up with Chen Shiping in literary films. In that case, he will really be a complete failure, and he will not be able to hold his head up when he sees him in the future.

"Director Xiao Cheng, have you finished editing the movie? If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up with the film selection time in Cannes." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Cheng Kaige snorted and said, "No need to worry about Director Chen!"

Chen Shiping said with a half-smile, "It doesn't matter if you can't catch up. It's the same with participating in Venice. Director Cheng wants to compete with me."

Cheng Kaige was really moved, but Cannes was his heartache. Without Cannes, he felt that he would not be able to raise his head in front of Chen Shiping.

He snorted in the end and left.

Chen Shiping didn't care about his attitude. He couldn't win in Cannes anyway. The Cannes Film Festival was pretentious and would not give awards to domestic films easily.

Cannes just likes directors like Cheng Kaige, who are so talkative. The reason why filmmakers all over the world are keen on Cannes is that it gives you hope every time, making you feel that you are unlucky, and then try your best to come back again.

Only in this way can Cannes maintain its status as a film festival!

Chen Shiping was lucky enough to win the prize. Xu Sanguan might not have been able to win the prize at another time.

It's just that after Xu Sanguan won the award, Chen Shiping now doesn't have so much confidence in Farewell My Concubine, and is worried that Cannes is too pretentious and will treat him like a liar.

Winning an award doesn't just depend on the quality of the film. The right time, place, and people are also important.

In Chen Shiping's opinion, the most important thing is people and people. If you want to make a good movie, it will not work if people are not harmonious.

The key to Farewell My Concubine is Xu Feng. She has spent so much money and has her own ideas. If Xu Feng is not dealt with, there will be lots of trouble in the future.

This is why Chen Shiping allowed her to choose roles according to his own standards. If he didn't let her have a lot of trouble, how could she be honest and obedient.

If a strong woman like Xu Feng wants her to be obedient, she must show a better side than her and completely convince her.

So when Xu Feng said he wanted to find Chow Yun-fat, Chen Shiping took a step back.

When she heard Zhou Runfa's mouth full of plastic Mandarin, she realized how ridiculous her wishful thinking was.

This is indeed the case. Zhou Runfa practiced Mandarin while filming "Across the World", but the effect was very poor. The most important thing was that he was not that attentive at all.

The arrogance and impetuosity of Hong Kong stars are most obvious in Zhou Runfa, but the most disgusting thing is his hypocrisy. He deeply looks down on mainlanders, but now he can practice Mandarin for money.

A week passed quickly. In the past few days, Lin Qingxia often called Chen Shiping to ask if he had thought about it. Chen Shiping made excuses every time.

After Chen Shiping waited for Xu Feng to hit the wall, he surrendered himself, and then asked Xu Feng to talk to Lin Qingxia.

He didn't want to reject Lin Qingxia himself. Whoever caused the trouble would solve it.

At this time in Xiangjiang, Xu Feng was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a large hotel, holding it in his hand, frowning and listening to Zhou Runfa's plastic Mandarin, and all his expectations were disappointed.

Zhou Run found that Zai Lian could not finish his lines smoothly, let alone the accent problem.

Xu Feng looked at him and couldn't help but insert him into the script, and then couldn't help but sigh.

If Overlord looked like this, the movie would be ruined!

"Stop." Xu Feng couldn't help but interrupt Zhou Runfa, frowning and said: "You can't even say these words well in a week?"

Zhou Runfa smiled awkwardly and said: "I am busy filming and have too little time to practice."

Kelly Chen also quickly added: "The filming of Zong He Si Hai is about to be completed. I will practice hard after finishing filming."

Xu Feng felt that what they said made sense. He thought about it and said, "After the filming is completed, are you willing to go to the capital for training? You also need to learn Peking Opera. The most important thing is that the language environment is very important."

Zhou Runfa and Chen Huilian looked at each other. After a simple eye contact, Zhou Runfa gave the right to speak to Chen Huilian.

"Mr. Xu, this is different from what we said at the beginning. Don't worry, I will definitely find a teacher to train Afa." Chen Huilian said with a smile.

Xu Feng frowned and said, "I can agree to the salary you ask for, but other conditions are really difficult."

Seeing Xu Feng's resolute attitude, Chen Huilian was worried that the conversation would break down if she continued, so she smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, can I discuss it with Afa and give you an answer later?"

Xu Feng nodded and said, "Okay, but we have to hurry. It's already been delayed for a week."

"Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

After Chen Huilian agreed, she took Zhou Runfa away. When she came out of Xu Feng's room, she couldn't help but blame Zhou Runfa for not practicing well these days.

The tall Zhou Runfa hugged Chen Huilian and said nonchalantly: "What's so good about learning Mandarin? The worst thing is that I won't take it. Anyway, I don't want to go to the mainland."

Kelly Chen sighed helplessly and said, "I'll try to find a way to negotiate terms with Xu Feng. I may have to lower my pay a little."

Kelly Chen's thinking was too simple. What Xu Feng cared about was not the little remuneration, but making this movie a success. If it was just to save money, why would she go to all this trouble.

In the hotel room, Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the scenery outside. Zhou Runfa's choice had been rejected in her heart.

If he can't practice several lines in a week, how can he expect him to practice well later.

It’s pretty but useless.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng couldn't help but call Chen Shiping to tell him about Zhou Runfa's situation.

Chen Shiping said without surprise: "Now you know what I said is right."

"I know." Xu Feng sighed helplessly and couldn't help but ask: "What should we do now? If he is willing to go to the mainland to study, can he still consider it?"

"No, there is absolutely no way he will agree. He looks down on the mainland." Chen Shiping couldn't help but said: "Even if he is willing, I won't use it. I let you talk to him. I just want you to understand and don't doubt me." vision."

Hearing Chen Shiping's words, Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh. You are fooling yourself like a child. You made up your mind from the beginning and you still fooled me!

But now she is really convinced by Chen Shiping. Zhou Runfa's performance, Cheng Long's refusal, and Zhang Guorong's cheerfulness are all consistent with his judgment at the time.

Everything I do now is really like the playfulness of a child who is unconvinced and wants to prove himself.

Xu Feng, who was a little irritated, couldn't help but said: "I don't care about the casting, I will do as you say!"

"No, you want to run away after making trouble. You rejected Lin Qingxia first. I am bombarded by her phone calls every day and I almost get a migraine!"

"It turns out there is something that Director Chen can't handle. Please beg me and I will help you reject her."

"Don't even think about it!"
