Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 95 Should I go out for a drink or go home for soup?
The first part of the movie "Swordsman" was played by Zhang Min and Ye Tong, as well as Lan Fenghuang and Yuan Jieying.

In the second part, two leading actors were replaced by Rosamund Kwan and Michelle Li, but Fennie Yuen was not replaced. This also shows that Xu Ke, who has always been picky, recognizes this woman.

Unfortunately, three of the four actresses in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were cheated on by Liu Luanxiong. It's such a pity.

"I didn't expect that we could work together again."

In fact, in this drama, Cao Jian does not have many rival scenes with Fennie Yuen and Rosamund Kwan, but rather has more scenes with Brigitte Lin and Michelle Lee.

However, it is normal for the two of them, one is the most popular actress and the other is the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong, to be a little arrogant.

The leading male actor arrived, and after a simple opening ceremony, the crew began to put on makeup.

According to the notice, the first scene to be filmed is a fight scene in a wild store.

Cao Jian is not yet twenty years old, and Linghu Chong is older in the novel, so the makeup artist gave him a slightly more mature look.

The producer and screenwriter of this film is Xu Ke, and the director is Cheng Xiaodong.

"The first round of 'Invincible East' begins!"

When the cue stick dropped, Cao Jian, on horseback, with Yue Lingshan, played by Li Jiaxin, sitting behind him, came galloping out of the woods.

“This is my first time as the male lead.”

Although Cao Jian was calm before filming began, he was still a little excited when the shooting officially started.

"Card!"

Cheng Xiaodong shouted, then said, "Linghu Chong, relax a little and don't be nervous."

"I can't help it. There's a beauty pageant winner behind me, and I'm afraid I'll drop her."

Cao Jian joked, took a deep breath, and slowly adjusted himself.

He had watched this movie many times and was also quite familiar with the original novel. He adjusted his state well and portrayed Linghu Chong's free and unrestrained character very well.

You should know that when Jet Li was acting in this movie, he had never read the original novel and relied entirely on the director's guidance.

"A very promising actor."

Xu Ke sat in front of the monitor and nodded secretly.

There is a scene in the woods where Linghu Chong thinks Yue Lingshan is in danger, so he raises his sword to stab her. But when he finds out it's one of his own, he quickly spins and puts away his sword.

In this scene, Cheng Xiaodong was worried that Cao Jian would not be able to shoot it well, but Cao Jian, hanging on the wire, performed an extremely beautiful spin in front of the camera.

"This kid really has some skills."

After reading Cao Jian's words, Xu Ke realized that Mei Yanfang had not lied.

Lin Qingxia, Li Jiaxin, Yuan Jieying and others originally thought that Cao Jian was just a singer, but they did not expect that this singer actually had such a skill.

This is really rare in the music industry.

He can sing, his acting seems okay, and he even knows kung fu.

This kind of person is completely unique in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Soon, the scene in the woods was finished and we arrived at the wild hotel.

The camera is aimed at a scorpion. At this time, Cao Jian needs to draw his sword and stab the scorpion.

He suddenly remembered that when Jet Li was filming this scene, he elbowed Li Jiaxin in the face and almost broke her nose.

Fortunately, Li Jiaxin’s face is original, otherwise, who knows what would have happened.

But this time, Cao Jian was very careful. He stabbed with his sword but did not hit Li Jiaxin.

However, he still sighed that the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong was indeed worthy of her reputation. After such close contact, he found that the other party was really extraordinary.

Fortunately, Cao Jian knew that this woman was already a mistress and he already had Zhou Huimin, so he had no interest in Li Jiaxin.

While filming other people's scenes, Cao Jian sat aside to rest.

When he saw Yuan Jieying blowing into a bamboo tube to summon a poisonous snake, he felt that Yuan Jieying was quite good-looking and had a somewhat quirky personality.

I remember when filming the 94 version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the director originally planned to ask this woman to play Zhao Min, but she refused, so he replaced her with Ye Tong.

As a result, the ugliest Zhao Min was created.

He had to shoot a night scene in the evening, and it was all action scenes. He was suspended on wires for two or three hours, and by the time he finished work, his waist and legs were a little sore.

After changing his clothes, Cao Jian was about to leave the crew when he happened to meet Yuan Jieying who seemed to be waiting for someone.

Seeing Cao Jian, Fennie Yuen smiled and said, "Cao Jian, I didn't expect that a singer like you could also do martial arts."

Cao Jian joked: "A singer who doesn't know martial arts is not a good actor."

"??"

Yuan Jieying had never heard such words before. She was stunned for a moment before she laughed and said, "You are quite humorous."

"Humor is a must-have dish on a woman's menu." Cao Jian put on his bag and said politely, "Are you driving? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"No thanks."

Yuan Jieying smiled and refused: "Jiaxin and I will go together. I will wait for her for a while."

"You have a good relationship?"

Hearing this, Cao Jian wondered if this girl was tricked by Michelle Reis into being with Liu Luanxiong?

Later, he suffered from depression and anorexia because of this incident, which is quite pitiful.

Yuan Jieying nodded and said, "It's okay."

Cao Jian had originally planned to go alone, but when he heard that Yuan Jieying was indeed close to Li Jiaxin, he said again, "She has a wealthy boyfriend. I guess someone will come to pick her up soon. I'll take you there."

Seeing Yuan Jieying hesitate, he added: "Everyone else has a boyfriend to pick them up. You're alone, and I'm alone too. It's just right for us to go together."

"OK then."

Yuan Jieying felt that what Cao Jian said made some sense, and that this man spoke very nicely, so she finally agreed.

Li Jiaxin and I often play together, and I was indeed outdone by that person.

Arriving at the parking lot, Fennie Yuen saw Cao Jian's new car and immediately said, "Your car is so beautiful. It turns out that singing is still the way to make money."

"hehe."

Cao Jian also did not deny that it was still the era of records and singing did make more money than acting.

He was paid only three million for filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Jet Li's film remuneration is already around 10 million, which is one of the reasons why investors are willing to use Cao Jian.

It’s famous, of good quality and inexpensive, so why not?

The two got in the car, and Cao Jian asked, "How much is your salary for this play?"

Seeing Yuan Jieying's hesitation, he added, "I'm just asking casually. If it's not convenient to talk about it, forget it."

"Actually, I'm embarrassed to say it, it's only four hundred thousand."

"That's it."

Cao Jian was not surprised at this number at all.

As the fourth female lead, it is normal to only get 400,000. It seems that it is not easy for an actor who is neither famous nor famous.

As a result, Fennie Yuen added: "The company will take away more than half, ah"

"The company is still withdrawing money?"

Cao Jian remembered that Yuan Jieying was discovered by Huang Baiming, who was actually quite stingy.

I remember when Stephen Chow was invited to star in "All's Well, Ends Well", he asked for eight million. In an interview, he said that Stephen Chow was asking for an exorbitant price.

You know, without Stephen Chow, the quality of this movie would be reduced by half.

Besides, at that time, whose salary didn’t exceed 10 million among the two Zhou Yi and Cheng Yi?

Eight million is a huge ask?

"Yes."

Fennie Yuen nodded and sighed: "You just came to Hong Kong and you can afford a car like this. I'm thinking of releasing an album."

"Singing is quite demanding. If you like, you can give it a try. However, I suggest that since you are pretty and have good acting skills, you should focus on developing your acting skills."

What Cao Jian meant was that if someone invited you to star in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" in two years, don't refuse.

The two of them were actually going the same way, so Cao Jian first sent Yuan Jieying to her doorstep before driving home.

Yuan Jieying watched the SUV drive away and thought to herself, "Of the five women on the crew, I'm the only single one. Could this Cao Jian be interested in me?"

Thinking of this, Yuan Jieying felt a little moved.

Although this man is from the mainland, he is handsome, can sing, and knows kung fu. He also looks quite wealthy.
Before Cao Jian's car reached his building, the power suddenly went out.

"Ajian, are you done with work? Are you free to come over and have a drink?"

"I just finished work and haven't gotten home yet."

Cao Jian glanced at the time: "Then I'll come find you."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Jian called Zhou Huimin again: "Where is she?"

"I'm waiting for you to eat at home. I made soup for you."

"at home?"

Cao Jian rubbed his head. When did Zhou Huimin become a good wife and mother and even make soup?
So should I go drink some wine or go home and have some soup?
