Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 349 Gentleman!

In the museum, Zhou Xingxing squatted on the ground in a daze.

His face was pitch black, his hair was a mess, and white smoke was coming out of it.

Cheng Kaige looked dissatisfied, so he shouted "Ka", walked over and said, "Tear off the clothes too, and sprinkle more water on them later."

"What?" Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment and then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Meishu then ran over with a pair of scissors and started cutting the clothes.

This section mainly involves two dragons fighting, and Stephen Chow was scolded.

This section of the design is mainly to show the difference between the Eastern dragon and the Western dragon.

By the way, let me show you the digital special effects, which will be included in the trailer!

Zhou Xingxing was struck by lightning first, which made the two dragons so nervous that they created clouds and rain to drench him.

Then the two dragons stopped fighting, rolled over and entangled themselves, and disappeared.

There are so many things in the museum and so little that can be shown in the movie, so we can only pick out some interesting ones.

After a while, Zhou Xingxing's security uniform turned into a pile of rags, as if he had been raped.

Cheng Kaige was very satisfied with the result and started shooting again.

At this time, Chen Shiping had been idle at home all day and came over for a stroll.

Seeing that the shooting scene was in good order, Chen Shiping was quite satisfied.

There are so many exhibits in the museum. If you accidentally break one, you won’t be able to make the movie.

Chen Shiping watched the clip being filmed and couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhou Xingxing being chased by several Yuanmou people.

Most of the scenes in the movie are performed by real people, and there are not many special effects scenes.

The original version of Night at the Museum had even fewer special effects, almost none.

The history of the United States is short, and the only mysterious things about it are the Egyptian artifacts.

This domestic version has relatively more special effects, including fantasy creatures like dragons and some mythical gods.

There are quite a few special effects scenes.

We can't just do a small-scale version like the original, because it has a poor historical background.

We are not!

Get it done! Get all kinds of things done!

After filming at the Palace Museum, we will go to Xi'an, where the pre-Qin Qigong masters and Terracotta Warriors are on display.

The entire story is based on the fictional Nine Cauldrons of Dayu.

Otherwise, tripods such as the Shangsimuwu Ding and the Siyangfangzun would have a sense of disconnection.

It would be better to invent the Nine Cauldrons and let the tone of the whole story revolve around the element of fantasy.

Another problem is that these two cultural relics are in the Chinese Museum, not the Palace Museum.

Moreover, the Four-Ram Square Tripod was originally from Hunan, and it has never returned since it was loaned to the National Museum of China for exhibition.

It would be impossible for Chen Shiping to borrow it for filming, as they definitely would not lend it to others.

Haha, I’m afraid of every one of these museums.

It is better to invent a cultural relic so that historians will not find fault with it.

This way the subsequent plot will also be easier to unfold.

The strange phenomenon in the museum was discovered and reported in the newspaper, and a group of criminals targeted them.

The bad guys stole the tripod and destroyed the museum, and many cultural relics were destroyed and stolen.

The criminals also have to wear various animal masks, tuxedos and top hats!

Hehe, I won’t say more anyway, those who understand will understand!
Anyway, people in most countries in Asia should be able to understand it and will strongly support this movie!
In the end, with the help of the cultural relics in the museum, Zhou Xingxing will recover the stolen cultural relics and catch the criminals!

Imagine the Terracotta Warriors galloping on the road in chariots, with the Han and Tang cavalry chasing behind and the Ming Dynasty cannons firing wildly from behind.

Wow, they turned a fantasy comedy into an action blockbuster!
I just want to ask, isn’t this version better than the original?
In the original version, the male protagonist found the Egyptian pharaoh and recited a spell to solve the problem.

The museum's main collection is still a group of animal specimens, which is very poor.

The tragedy of having no history and no culture is that we can only use animals to make up the numbers!
After Cheng Kaige finished filming a segment, Chen Shiping walked over and took the initiative to comfort the colleagues who were working overtime.

It’s really hard to shoot a movie during a good vacation!

Cheng Kaige looked at Chen Shiping and wanted to complain, but he held back.

I have to work overtime, what else can I do?

He also wants to release it during the Lunar New Year holiday.

As the first blockbuster of the millennium, it proves its strength!

Even if we can’t make it in time for the Lunar New Year season, the Spring Festival season will be fine!
"Thank you for your hard work, Old Cheng!" Chen Shiping patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Cheng Kaige joked, "You came empty-handed. Why don't you bring me some midnight snacks?"

"You can't eat in the museum." Chen Shiping said seriously.

Cheng Kaige: “.” Good reason, irrefutable.

Chen Shiping smiled and asked, "How was the filming? Was it going well?"

Cheng Kaige nodded and said, "It's OK, but I don't know if the special effects will be good in the later stage."

"Don't worry about that!"

Chen Shiping said confidently: "I went to Peking University to see it a few days ago. The special effects made for Uncharted are already on par with Hollywood. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Cheng Kaige felt a little relieved. Although the real highlight of this film was not the special effects, it could not be a drag.

After chatting with Cheng Kaige for a few words, Chen Shiping went to brag with Zhou Xingxing and other actors.

This movie has no female lead, only him as the male lead, in order to save more time to display the museum's cultural relics.

Liu Xiaoqing and Cheng Daoming are just guest stars, and many other stars will come to guest star in the future.

Lin Fangbing came to play a guest role as a Tang Dynasty lady, and Wang Zuxian, who was filming Go Go Sakura in Beijing, was also roped in to make a guest appearance.

Neither Jet Li nor Jackie Chan can escape, they all come to make a cameo appearance!
Chen Shiping has spoken, who the hell dares not give him face!
This is an all-star lineup!

It is very easy to shoot a movie like this, as it features only veteran actors, so Cheng Kaige doesn't have to worry about the actors' acting skills.

Therefore, the protagonist of this drama can only be Stephen Chow, otherwise if it were anyone else, they would be suppressed to the point of being left with nothing left.

Only a natural comedian like Stephen Chow can stand out from a crowd of big names and form his own unique style.

Chen Shiping has considered everything for Cheng Kaige. If this old guy is afraid of bad consequences, just hang him up and parade him through the streets!
Chen Shiping left after giving the museum a tour of “condolences”.

One was to come and show some concern, and the other was to see if Cheng Kaige was messing around.

Chen Shiping doesn't trust him completely yet.

Investing so much money this time is no joke!
After leaving the museum, Chen Shiping drove to find Li Xiaoran.

But after opening the door, he wanted to turn around and run away.

How come it was Chen Zihan who opened the door!

Finished.

I came to find Li Xiaoran in the middle of the night, and she guessed it immediately!

I should have called and asked earlier!
Chen Shiping looked at Chen Zihan awkwardly and coughed lightly and said, "Zihan is here too. Where's Xiaoran? I came to see her for something."

Chen Zihan said unconsciously, "Xiao Ran is taking a shower."

"Then I'll come again next time!" Chen Shiping said as he was about to leave, but Li Xiaoran's voice was heard in the room.

"Zi Han! Who's knocking on the door?"

Chen Zihan came back to his senses and immediately shouted, "It's Mr. Chen. He said he wants to talk to you about something?"

Chen Zihan felt dizzy. What could possibly happen in the middle of the night? !
It's that kind of thing!

Chen Zihan's face turned slightly red, and he instantly thought of various possibilities.

Chen Shiping stopped awkwardly and decided not to move, otherwise he would appear even more guilty.

Li Xiaoran also quickly came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. When Chen Zihan saw her like this, he immediately knew that something was wrong between her and Chen Shiping.

Otherwise, why would she come out wrapped only in a bath towel?

The embarrassed one now is Chen Zihan. Will he be silenced after discovering such a big secret?

Chen Shiping was so exhausted that he looked at Li Xiaoran and said, "Put on your clothes!"

Li Xiaoran stuck out her tongue, said "oh" and ran back to her room.

After Li Xiaoran went in, Chen Shiping looked at Chen Zihan and said, "Don't stand, sit down and talk."

Chen Zihan sat in the corner of the sofa in fear, not daring to sit fully on it.

"Um, Mr. Chen, I have something else to do. I'll leave right away!"

Chen Zihan didn't even dare to look up at Chen Shiping. He didn't know what to do.

What should I do if I discover the big boss’s secret?

Will it be hidden in the snow?
Chen Shiping crossed his legs and looked at her without saying anything, thinking about how to shut her up.

Li Xiaoran was the same. He didn’t even bother to tell him when someone came to his house!
Chen Zihan glanced at him secretly, only to see his serious expression, and immediately said nervously: "Mr. Chen, I'm leaving now. I didn't see anything, I don't know anything, I haven't been here today!"

Chen Shiping felt even more headache after hearing this, and couldn't help but said, "Don't think about it, I came here for something serious."

"Oh," Chen Zihan immediately forced out an ugly smile and said, "Yes, there must be something important. Then I won't disturb you. I'll go home first!"

"Don't worry, I'll talk to her and leave. I'll take you there."

"what??"

Chen Zihan quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, I can go by myself!"

Chen Shiping didn't give her a chance to refuse and said directly: "It's not a big deal, just step on the accelerator."

Chen Zihan pursed his lips, hummed, and said nothing more.

I dare not refute.

A minute later, Li Xiaoran came out after changing her clothes.

Chen Shiping stood up and motioned for her to come to the balcony.

Li Xiaoran ran over and whispered, "I didn't know you were coming today. I went shopping with Zi Han tonight."

"It's okay, but it's not good if this gets out. I'll talk to her later. If she asks you about it in the future, keep your mouth shut."

"Yeah." Li Xiaoran glanced at Chen Zihan, then whispered, "You like her, right? Why not just do it directly?"

"Huh?!" Chen Shiping looked at Li Xiaoran in surprise, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Li Xiaoran smiled foolishly and said, "There's no need to explain this, and you wanted her to live here in the future."

Chen Shiping coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm a gentleman."

"Yes, you are a gentleman and I am a little woman, okay? It's up to you." Li Xiaoran asked in a low voice: "Then will you stay tonight?"

"Forget about tonight. I have to go back home tomorrow. I'll come see you when I get back."

Chen Shiping spoke a few more words to Li Xiaoran before leaving.

Chen Zihan also followed him downstairs, not daring to breathe loudly.

Even after getting in the car, Chen Zihan didn't know how to start.

Chen Shiping started the car and asked, "Where do you live?"

"Huazhi Hutong." Chen Zihan hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, actually, I... that..."

Chen Zihan hesitated for a long time and then shut up, he really didn't know what to say.

Chen Shiping did not ask any further questions and drove carefully until he reached Huazhi Hutong.

After pulling the handbrake, he turned his head and looked at Chen Zihan and said, "Film well during this period. After filming this drama is finished the day after tomorrow, if you perform well, the group will focus on training you."

"When you become famous, you must be careful about your words and actions, have the awareness of a public figure, and don't say anything or make any risky remarks."

Chen Zihan knew that Chen Shiping was warning him, so he nodded and said, "I know. I will definitely not tell anyone about you and Xiaoran. I will keep my mouth shut!"

Chen Shiping: “.” So you forgot what I just said, right?
Chen Zihan also realized what was happening and wanted to slap himself a few times, why did he slip up?
"Mr. Chen, you didn't hear anything just now, and I didn't say anything!"

Chen Zihan was almost crying, crying because of his own stupidity.

Chen Shiping sighed and said, "I'm not worried about you telling others. I will be fine, but you will definitely be in trouble."

Chen Zihan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chen Shiping to point it out directly.

After it was made clear, she didn't know what to say.

Chen Shiping looked at her and said, "Okay, get off the bus and go home to sleep."

It's that simple?
Chen Zihan looked at Chen Shiping suspiciously and asked tentatively, "That's it?"

Chen Shiping: “???” Are you still not satisfied after letting you go?!

"What? You still want me to give you a gift!"

"no no!"

Chen Zihan blushed and waved his hands immediately, saying, "Well, what I mean is, are you really not afraid that I will tell others and leave some evidence?"

Chen Shiping said unhappily: "No need!"

"Why don't you keep some, or I'm scared."

At this moment, Chen Zihan's mind suddenly became clear.

She knew the boss's secret, but he had no leverage over her.

What if he becomes uneasy and hides her or even kills her?

Chen Shiping looked at her with amusement and asked, "What do you have?"

Chen Zihan groaned for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "No."

"That's not the end." Chen Shiping said speechlessly.

Finished? I'm finished?!

Chen Zihan misunderstood and tears started to fall.

Chen Shiping: “???” You’re also using the self-torture tactic?!

"Mr. Chen, do you want to?" Chen Zihan said with a sob: "Why don't you go upstairs and sit for a while? I have a camera at home."

"Ahem." Chen Shiping suspected that he had heard it wrong.

What is this little girl playing?
What does camera mean?!

Using this to test cadres?!
Chen Zihan reached out and pulled Chen Shiping, saying pitifully, "I actually admire you a lot, I'm doing this voluntarily."

Chen Shiping scratched his head and said, "That's not necessary."

"It's necessary!" Chen Zihan grabbed him and said, "Otherwise I can't sleep."

"There's nothing going on between Xiaoran and me. You don't have to think too much about it."

"Yes, yes, yes. I just want you to go up and have a cup of tea."

"Well, just drink tea, don't talk about cameras or anything."

"I know!"

Chen Zihan burst into laughter, quickly unbuckled his seat belt, and wanted to take Chen Shiping upstairs to have a cup of tea.

Chen Shiping was really going to go upstairs and have a cup of tea. He was really not worried that Chen Zihan would say something nonsense. She didn't have the courage to do so.

The key is that what you say has to be useful.

There is no evidence, what can I say?

More importantly, he didn't want to appear to be threatening someone else, so he went up to have a cup of tea to comfort her.

That's it!

A gentleman!
