The Queen Travels to the Modern Times
Chapter 148 Peter Movie King
When Huo Yuan learned that the actor Peter was coming to Blue City to perform, she was so excited that she almost jumped out of her chair. She quickly calculated in her mind that if the company could invite Peter to perform in the play that was being prepared, it would definitely be a big hit.
But when she thought of Pete's high performance fee, Huo Yuan couldn't help but frown. She paced back and forth in the office, biting her lip, thinking hard about a feasible solution.
Huo Yuan decided to test Pete's attitude first. She dressed up carefully and came to the recording site of Pete's program. After waiting for the recording to end, Huo Yuan seized the opportunity to greet Pete.
Peter was polite but distant. Huo Yuan nervously explained her purpose, but Peter just smiled and said nothing. Huo Yuan's heart sank instantly, but she did not give up.
After returning to the company, Huo Yuan called all the team members together to brainstorm ways to reduce costs while offering conditions that were attractive enough to Pete.
After countless discussions and revisions, Huo Yuan met with Pitt again. This time, she elaborated in detail on the creativity and planning of the entire play, as well as the role tailored for Pitt.
Peter finally showed some interest, but still refused to give in to the performance fee. Just when Huo Yuan felt desperate, an unexpected turn of events occurred. It turned out that Peter had always wanted to try to break through his acting style, and this drama just happened to provide such a great opportunity.
Pete agreed to reduce his performance fee and participate in the show. Huo Yuan and her team cheered, and the company's play thus had the most brilliant beginning.
Pitt, the shining actor in the film industry, actually agreed to let Huo Yuan participate in the filming of their company's TV series.
Huo Yuan was very excited and accompanied Pete to read the script. It was a quiet room, with sunlight shining through the gaps in the curtains, casting mottled light and shadows.
Pitt gently flipped open the script. At first, his expression was calm, and he just read every line of text attentively. As the plot progressed, his eyes began to change, and his slightly trembling fingers seemed to tell the waves in his heart.
In the story, some of the children in the orphanage have lost the love of their parents, and some have never felt the warmth of a family. They watch in loneliness, wandering between hope and despair. The story of each child is like a sharp needle, piercing Pete's heart.
Especially the girl named Xiaoyu, she always stood silently in the corner, her eyes full of desire for love. She would cry secretly at night just because she missed her parents whom she had never met.
And there was the brave little boy who, in order to protect his other friends, fought desperately with those who bullied them, even though he was covered in bruises.
Pete's eyes gradually became moist, and tears fell uncontrollably. He seemed to see the real faces of those children and hear the cries from their hearts.
Huo Yuan watched quietly, feeling deeply moved. She knew that the show would shine more brilliantly with the addition of Pitt. And Pitt would also show his deep affection and tenderness in this role that he had never shown before.
Huo Yuan excitedly called his brother Huo Ping, his words full of excitement: "Brother, do you know? Pete is going to participate in the filming of a TV series!" When Huo Ping on the other end of the phone heard this, a spark of hope instantly ignited in his heart.
Huo Ping is the head of a film and television company, and he is worried about the selection of the leading actor for the new movie. This Pitt is a movie star-level figure, and if he can be brought into the filming of his own company, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.
Without any hesitation, Huo Ping took immediate action and finally contacted Pete through various channels. On the day of the meeting, Huo Ping prepared carefully, wearing a well-fitting suit, and waited in the agreed cafe early.
Pete arrived as scheduled, and his handsome face and unique temperament instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the cafe. Huo Ping stood up nervously to greet him, and after a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point and introduced to Pete the grand concept and wonderful script of his company's film.
Pete listened quietly, with little expression on his face. Huo Ping's heart was in his throat, fearing that he would be rejected. Just when Huo Ping thought that there was little hope, Pete suddenly smiled and said, "This script is interesting. However, I have a condition." Huo Ping's eyes widened and he asked eagerly, "What condition? Just tell me!" Pete said slowly, "I want to make some changes to the script and add my own creativity." Huo Ping was very surprised and nodded in agreement.
However, just when everyone thought everything was going well, Pitt's agent suddenly jumped out to object, claiming that Pitt's schedule was full and he had no time to participate. This sudden change made Huo Ping feel like he was falling into an ice cellar, but he did not give up. Instead, he tried every possible way to start a fierce "tug of war" with his agent.
Moved by Hopping's unremitting efforts and sincerity, Pitt successfully joined the filming of the movie, and the movie became a box office hit that year.
This movie produced by Hopping Company was originally just a bold attempt, but unexpectedly, due to the wonderful performance of Oscar-winning actor Pitt, it became an instant hit and achieved great success in both box office and reputation.
Huo Ping was very excited, thinking that he must thank Pete very much, so he personally called Pete and warmly invited him to have some delicious food.
Peter readily agreed, and the two met at a unique private restaurant. When Huo Ping arrived early, he was full of anticipation and nervousness.
Soon, Pete arrived. He was dressed simply but fashionably, and he displayed the friendliness of a superstar as soon as he entered the door.
The two began to order food, and Huo Ping specifically ordered the restaurant's signature dish. But just as the dishes were served and they were about to feast on them, a group of crazy fans suddenly rushed in and surrounded the restaurant.
Huo Ping panicked for a moment, but Pitt seemed extremely calm. He stood up with a smile, walked towards the fans, and patiently communicated with them and took photos with them.
However, at this moment, a mysterious man took advantage of the chaos and sneaked up to Huo Ping, whispering, "The popularity of this movie has affected the interests of some people. You are in trouble."
Huo Ping's heart tightened, and the originally happy dinner party suddenly became full of dangers.
Huo Ping has had an almost obsessive love for movies since he was a child, and he dreams of making a work that will shock the world one day. However, in this film circle full of interests and complicated relationships, he is just a nobody.
But Huo Ping has the perseverance and courage that others can hardly match. He tried his best to raise funds everywhere and finally started shooting his first film. This film tells the story of a group forgotten by society, which is true and profound.
After the movie was released, it caused a huge response. But at the same time, it also touched the interests of some people. Those who were used to making high profits from commercial blockbusters hated Huo Ping's work. They began to use various means to try to suppress Huo Ping, and even threatened him to give up making such movies.
But Huo Ping didn't care about that. He only had a love for movies and a pursuit of truth. Instead of backing off, he became more determined. He decided to invest more energy and resources to produce more works that could touch people's hearts.
Just when everyone thought Huo Ping would be crushed by the pressure, his second film came out. This film once again caused a sensation with its sharper perspective and profound connotation. Those who had tried to suppress him began to regret what they had done and envied Huo Ping's achievements. Huo Ping finally gained a foothold in the film industry and became an admired director.
Huo Ping always thought that his life was dull, going to school and working according to the routine, and he had never done anything particularly outstanding. However, a chance encounter completely changed his mind.
The company organized an event that required shooting a promotional video, and everyone recommended Huo Ping, who likes photography, to take charge. Huo Ping took on the task with a try-it-out attitude.
Unexpectedly, during the filming and editing process, he seemed to have ignited a hidden fire deep in his heart. He had an unexpectedly keen and talented grasp of every shot and control of the story rhythm.
Looking at the short film he had completed, Huo Ping felt an unprecedented excitement and confidence: "Do I have a talent for directing?" Once this thought came to his mind, he could never get rid of it.
Despite the opposition of his family and friends, Huo Ping resolutely quit his stable job and applied for the directing department. In school, he eagerly learned professional knowledge and constantly honed his skills.
However, the reality was not as good as he imagined. The fierce competition among classmates and the strict requirements of teachers made him feel stressed. But Huo Ping never thought of giving up. He firmly believed that he could find his own way as a director.
Finally, the opportunity came. The school organized a short film competition, and Huo Ping carefully prepared his work. But the day before submitting the work, his computer suddenly broke down, and all the materials and editing results disappeared without a trace.
Huo Ping sat on the ground in despair, feeling that the whole world had collapsed. But he still gritted his teeth and re-shot and edited the film in the last possible moment.
When the results of the competition were announced, everyone was stunned. Huo Ping's work won the first prize. He stood on the podium with tears in his eyes. At that moment, he knew that his journey as a director had just begun.
Huo Ping had just come down from the stage of the award ceremony, holding tightly in his hand the trophy that symbolized the highest honor. He was extremely excited, but he did not indulge in the joy of winning the award too much, but rushed back to the company without stopping.
Fan Yuxuan had been waiting for a long time in the company. When Huo Ping entered the room, their eyes met. Without saying anything, they both knew that the following conversation was of vital importance.
"Director Huo, congratulations on winning the award! It is well deserved!" Fan Yuxuan was the first to break the silence, his face full of sincere congratulations.
Huo Ping nodded slightly and said, "Yuxuan, let's not talk about this for now. We have to discuss the follow-up TV series."
The two sat on the sofa, and Huo Ping said seriously: "I want to break the routine and make a historical drama that is completely different from the past. It will no longer focus on the common emperors and generals, but on a group of little people forgotten by history."
Fan Yuxuan frowned and said worriedly, "Director Huo, this is a big risk. Will the audience buy it?"
Huo Ping looked determined: "I believe that as long as the story is exciting enough and the characters are vivid enough, it will definitely move the audience."
Just as the two were discussing heatedly, the assistant suddenly rushed in and brought shocking news: the investor who had been originally agreed to invest temporarily withdrew his investment!
Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan looked at each other in bewilderment. The passionate discussion just now was instantly put into an ice cellar by this news. But Huo Ping quickly came to his senses and gritted his teeth and said, "Yuxuan, let's find a way to raise money ourselves. I'm determined to shoot this drama!"
Huo Yuan has been feeling uneasy lately, as she always feels that something has happened to her brother Huo Ping. After some inquiries, she learns that the drama her brother is filming is in trouble due to a lack of funds.
Huo Yuan did not hesitate at all, took out all her savings, and hurried to the crew where her brother was. Along the way, she felt very complicated, worried that her brother was under too much pressure, and hoped that the money she brought could solve the urgent problem.
When she finally arrived at the crew, she saw Huo Ping, who looked tired and sad, and felt distressed. Huo Ping was surprised and happy to see his sister suddenly appear, but when Huo Yuan stuffed the money into his hand, he hesitated.
"Sister, I can't take this money. It's what you saved with great effort." Huo Ping's voice was a little hoarse.
Huo Yuan was anxious, "Brother, this drama is your dream, I believe you can make a good work."
Huo Ping held his sister's hand tightly, tears glistening in his eyes.
With the money, the crew got back into action. But just when everything seemed to be going in a good direction, new problems arose. The original leading actress suddenly went on strike, which plunged the entire crew into chaos again.
Just when everyone was in a state of panic, Huo Yuan stepped forward and, relying on her love and talent for acting since childhood, took on the role of the leading actress.
With Huo Yuan's efforts and Huo Ping's careful guidance, the drama was finally successfully filmed. During the filming process, Huo Yuan not only showed her amazing acting talent, but also found her own love - the male lead was deeply attracted to her during their collaboration, and when the drama was finished, he bravely confessed his love to Huo Yuan.
After the show was broadcast, it caused a huge sensation, and Huo Ping and Huo Yuan also ushered in the glorious moment of their lives.
Huo Ping has always dreamed of becoming an excellent TV producer, but reality is always cruel. Time and again, the projects he carefully planned were either aborted due to lack of funds or encountered various difficulties during the filming process.
This time, Huo Ping once again put all his efforts into creating a work that he believed could shock people. However, halfway through the filming, the funding chain suddenly broke, the staff's wages could not be paid, and the equipment rental fees were also in arrears, and the entire crew fell into a desperate predicament.
Just when Huo Ping was about to give up, his sister Huo Ran stepped forward. She took out her savings of many years and handed it to her brother without hesitation. Huo Ping looked at his sister's determined eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart, and secretly vowed to succeed.
With the financial support from his sister, Huo Ping was able to continue filming his TV series. He worked day and night, striving for perfection in every detail, just to live up to his sister's trust and dedication.
Finally, the TV series was finished and entered the post-production and publicity stage. Huo Ping was full of expectations, but also nervous.
On the night of the premiere, Huo Ping and his sister sat in front of the TV, holding hands tightly. As the plot progressed, the audience gave rave reviews and the ratings continued to rise. Huo Ping's TV series was a success and became a hot topic on the streets.
At the celebration banquet, Huo Ping excitedly walked towards his sister, hugged her head tightly, and couldn't stop crying. He knew that without his sister's support, all this would not be possible. And his sister Huo Yuan gently patted her brother's back, her eyes full of relief and pride.
Huo Ping stood in front of the huge French window, looking at the bustling city scenery outside the window, his heart full of determination. He was born into a wealthy family, and under his leadership, the Huo Group prospered and entered many fields. However, this time he focused his attention on the film and television industry.
Although people around him were full of doubts about his decision, believing that this was a field full of risks and uncertain returns, Huo Ping did not care. He knew very well that what he was pursuing was not just financial gains, but the ability to create works that touched people's hearts.
In the process of preparing for the new drama, Huo Ping encountered many difficulties. The difficulty of casting, repeated revisions of the script, and the coordination of the shooting location made him anxious. But he never gave up, relying on the Huo Group's strong funds and connections to resolve crises time and time again.
Just when everything seemed to be going in the right direction, something unexpected happened. The director, who had been working well with Huo Ping, suddenly announced his withdrawal because of a huge disagreement with Huo Ping on creative concepts. This news was like a bolt from the blue, throwing the entire crew into chaos.
Huo Ping was facing tremendous pressure, and the outside world's doubts became stronger and stronger. Some people even began to laugh at his overestimation of his ability. However, Huo Ping was not defeated. He quickly looked for a new director, reorganized his ideas, and polished the script again.
Finally, after countless days and nights of hard work, the new drama started filming smoothly. During the filming process, the wonderful performances of the actors and the concerted efforts of the crew gradually showed the amazing charm of the drama.
Just as the filming was about to wrap up, a sudden storm hit the filming location, causing serious damage to some scenes, which meant that more money and time would be needed to repair and reshoot.
But Huo Ping did not hesitate at all, he decisively invested more resources just to ensure the quality of the work. In the end, the drama was successfully released, causing a huge sensation and gaining unanimous praise from the audience, and Huo Ping finally realized his dream.
