Rebirth of the rich and famous

Chapter 286 "Metropolis"

In fact, it wasn't that such a big surprise was going to happen suddenly. As early as the beginning of March, the eldest brother Chen Jie had already contacted her through Lin Junye.After reading the script, within a week, she replied to Chen Jie, the producer, agreeing to act in "Metropolis".

He kept it secret before, and deliberately made a public appearance at the world premiere of "The King of Magical Skills", announcing the start of filming of the new film and the news of Song Xiaoye's joining, all to build momentum for the new film.

This is the producer's and investor's decision, and Song Xiaoye naturally has to abide by it.

It is said that Big Brother makes films, and the heroine of each film is the most popular female star at that time.

Song Xiaoye joked with her eldest brother, "After filming "Metropolis", my status will double again!"

"That's what you deserve!" The eldest brother smiled heartily, turned his eyes away, and looked at Chen Ming, "Ah Ming came back from Sundance and admired your acting skills very much! Ye Xiao, I also watched "Black Tulip" , I'm not saying compliments, you really did your best in that play..."

Song Xiaoye smiled, but was deeply moved, "If it were another situation, another emotion, I wouldn't be able to play Joan - I mean it, if I were to act now, I might not be able to act like that at that time." state……"

If it wasn't for that time, she had encountered too much and was extremely depressed, she might not have been able to really integrate into the role, or even enter the play so deeply.

"Actually, big brother's acting skills are also great. Really, a real superstar always has a unique style that cannot be imitated by others..."

Before Song Xiaoye finished filming, Chen Jie was already laughing, "I love to hear that! Just like Zihua, he is good at hard skills, but he is not good at applying life-like humor to kung fu... ..."

After laughing, he suddenly sighed again, "However, your brother is young! Unlike me—"

Song Xiaoye raised her head, looked at Chen Ming who was walking over, and said with a smile, "Brother also has successors!"

"That kid—it's still far away!" Chen Jie smiled, looked at Song Xiaoye, and spoke sincerely, "Actually, I am very envious of Ah Ying, she is lucky to have a daughter like you to succeed her! "

Song Xiaoye laughed, and stuck out her tongue playfully, "Don't let my mother hear it, otherwise, she will definitely quarrel with elder brother! Don't you know that she is going to act until she is old enough to win prizes? "

When Song Xiaoye said this, Chen Jie also laughed, "It was my slip of the tongue, my slip of the tongue..."

He also greeted Chen Ming, "Boy, learn more from Ye Xiao! Don't talk about literature and drama, the apprentices handed over by Master Mai are not ordinary people."

"Thank you, big brother, for your compliment." Song Xiaoye pretended to be heroic and cupped her hands to thank her. She turned her eyes and jumped up suddenly, "Second senior brother, this way..."

When I came to Los Angeles to film, the biggest surprise was being able to work with the second brother Xu Keping.

However, unlike the tactful elder brother Kang Yan, and also different from the uninhibited third elder brother Mai Zihua, she, the second elder brother, is a dignified person.

When Song Xiaoye first met, she almost wondered if this second senior brother was the master's apprentice.

Opening a martial arts gym in Los Angeles, Xu Keping is very popular in the Chinese community in Los Angeles with the title of National Martial Arts Champion.He often plays the role of Wu Zhi as a guest, and is also very famous in the film circle.

Only this time, he didn't come to act as Wu Zhi, but to play the role of the big villain in the play.

Song Xiaoye didn't know it at first, but when she came to Los Angeles, she realized that this was really an unexpected surprise.

After a long time of secret preparation, "Metropolis" officially launched in Los Angeles on May [-]st.Although he was in a foreign land, he still worshiped the gods as usual when the machine was turned on. Even the disciples of Xu Keping Wuguan danced lions on the spot to add to the fun, which was very lively.

On the first day of starting up, it was the fight scene between Song Xiaoye and Chen Ming. Chen Ming was already very nervous before getting started.

Although his father is the king of kung fu, Chen Ming himself has not learned much kung fu.By the time I chose to be an actor, it was too late and I missed the best opportunity.

His skills are the same as Song Xiaoye's. He became a monk halfway, so he can only be regarded as half-baked. He can handle the shooting without any problem.

"You don't have to be so nervous, just follow the big brother's demonstration-an! Although I have filmed fight scenes, I am still half a rookie!"

Song Xiaoye's relief made Chen Ming smile, but the tension did not disappear much.

In fact, Song Xiaoye also knew that Chen Ming's pressure was not actually from the filming, but from the expectations of his elder brother.

Although the protagonist of "Metropolis" is Chen Jie, in the play, Chen has a lot of famous roles as the third male lead, not even inferior to the American actor Ben Seller who played the second male lead.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the eldest brother is actually leading his son to break into Hollywood. Chen Ming naturally knows this, and the psychological pressure is unavoidable.

Song Xiaoye couldn't comfort him too much, and could only do her best to partner with him when acting.

Although she is the heroine in the play, Song Xiaoye doesn't have many roles in the play.

Unlike in "Black Tulip", the whole show is about her.

Firstly, it is because there are more men in the movie "Metropolis", and secondly, in Big Brother's movie, many women will be reduced to vases.

Fortunately, although there are fewer scenes than male one male two male three, at least Song Xiaoye is not a vase.

In the movie, there are a series of fighting scenes, and there are also touching literary dramas, but it is the male number three who will have emotional entanglements with her, the heroine.This is also considered rare.So, in terms of a certain role, in fact, the leading actor in this play is Chen Minglai.

"Metropolis" has similarities with the previous police dramas made by the elder brother. He is a police officer as the protagonist, but this time, the elder brother plays a retired police officer, Inspector Chen.

After retiring, Inspector Chen accidentally learned that his ex-wife who left him that year took his son to Los Angeles.Moreover, there is also news that his ex-wife has died, leaving only his son whom he has not seen for 20 years.

In order to find his son, he came to Los Angeles alone, but was hunted down while searching for his son.Surprised, he turned to Los Angeles police officer Owen, who had cooperated with him back then, to find his son together.

Only then did I know that my son had something to do with the local gang and was being hunted down.In order to save his son, Inspector Chen ran around, but passed by his son several times, not knowing that the other party was the person he was looking for...

In the play, Song Xiaoye played the role of the gang leader who chased and killed Chen Ming and fought several times with Inspector Chen.Complicated life experience and emotional entanglements, although the drama is relatively small, it is very interesting.

This is also the reason why Song Xiaoye took over the play.

She likes to try different roles, and every new role that is different from the past will make her feel excited.

The scene being filmed now is the scene where she hunts down Chen Ming, that is, Tom Chen in the scene, blocks him in a dark alley, and fights.

This scene, according to the plot, is a rainy day, but unfortunately the weather is not good, the weather in Los Angeles is very good.

Therefore, the shooting was chosen at dusk.In the dark alley, the setting sun could not be seen, and with the help of two large firetrucks, it looked like a rainstorm.

The water injection was too strong, and the jet of cold water hit her body, drenching her whole body. Song Xiaoye raised her hand to brush away the wet hair sticking to her forehead with a cold face, and looked coldly at Chen Ming, who was also soaked all over her body. .

Although looking from a distance now, the two firetrucks sprayed water like monsters, one on the left and one on the right, but standing in the water was like being in a heavy rainstorm.

Song Xiaoye raised her eyes, her eyes were sharp, but she concealed an unbearable sadness, "Hand over your things! Maybe I'll let you go—"

"Shadow, do you know..."

Before Chen Ming could finish his sentence, Song Xiaoye shot out like an arrow, rushed to Chen Ming, raised his leg and kicked out...

Chen Ming hurriedly stretched out his hand, but he was half a beat too late. He was kicked on the shoulder by Song Xiaoye, staggered and fell to the ground.

"Crack..."

Sitting in the director's chair and hiding under the umbrella, the director hasn't started training people yet.Chen Jie on the side has already scolded: "Chen Ming, haven't you had enough to eat?!"

Pursing the corners of her lips, Song Xiaoye didn't want to interrupt, so she just bent down and reached out to pull Chen Ming, "Are you okay?"

She didn't exert too much force in that kick just now, Chen Jie's shoulders are probably going to be blue by now.

Shaking his head, Chen Ming got up from the ground by himself without borrowing Song Xiaoye's strength.

"Come again—this time it will be OK!"

Seeing Chen Ming's bluish face, Song Xiaoye blinked, thinking that this was caused by the cold water?Still being scolded?
Without speaking, she smiled and gestured to Chen Ming, and turned around directly.Trot all the way back to the original position.

Looking at Song Xiaoye's back silently, Chen Ming squeezed his fist and took a deep breath.

While running, the long black leather windbreaker swayed, making Song Xiaoye look cool, just like her neat movements just now, it looked neat and beautiful.

Raising his hand to wipe off the water on his face, Chen Ming stood firm and rubbed the mud on his body with his hand. Anyway, it was all black, so it couldn't be seen at all.

"Camera—"

Running, jumping, kicking, Song Xiaoye kicked out neatly, but when the tip of her toe was about to touch Chen Ming, she subconsciously stopped it.At the same time as she pulled back, Chen Ming blocked her flying legs with both hands.

"Ka—" the director didn't shout, but Chen Jie did.

This kind of action shooting, as an action director, he is more sensitive than the real director, and he is more qualified to comment, "Ye Xiao, don't slow down your pace just to accommodate! What I want is to be done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water - you know !"

Although he was scolding Song Xiaoye, Chen Ming was the one who finally blamed him. Song Xiaoye looked at Chen Ming with some embarrassment, and saw that his lips were tightly pursed with a blank expression on his face, so he could only return to his original position silently.

"Take a break for 5 minutes, Chen Ming, if you want to do this job, make me look better!" Chen Jie said in a deep voice, not caring whether anyone was watching.

Chen Ming lowered his head and said nothing.

In the distance, across the staff rushing over, Song Xiaoye silently looked at Chen Ming, who seemed to be in depression with his head down, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Obviously you are concerned, why do you have to...

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Song Xiaoye's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Ming who was slowly raising his head up—it seemed that Chen Ming also belonged to the "spring", the more he was pressed, the higher he bounced.

Now, it's interesting...
