Chapter 781: A Deserted Start-Up Ceremony

781

As a killer, Xu Taiping didn't even notice that Zhao Bigan secretly opened his phone and then secretly called Zhao Xiaohua.

This made Xu Taiping feel frustrated and very embarrassed.

This kind of thing would never happen in his life before, but this time it really happened.

The main reason is that Zhao Bigan's actions were too secretive, and Xu Taiping didn't pay much attention to what Zhao Bigan was doing.

Another is that Xu Taiping's vigilance has deteriorated after all.

This is undeniable and unchangeable. The environment you are in will determine your vigilance. In the past, Xu Taiping had to be wary of someone coming to kill him. Therefore, Xu Taiping always maintained a very alert attitude. He had high vigilance, and now, his life has become leisurely. Even if he is always reminded to stay vigilant, as time goes by, his vigilance will eventually get worse.

Guo Yunpeng on the side was laughing so hard that he was out of breath. He didn't expect that Zhao Bigan actually hid such a skill. This skill was so good, it was amazing!

This was the first time that he saw Xu Taiping deflated, and Xu Taiping had no way to fight back when he was deflated, which was even more interesting.

"Old Zhao, you are so bad!" Xu Taiping said sadly.

"Everything is for my daughter!" Zhao Bigan said.

Xu Taiping smiled helplessly and said, "I understand you, so I won't take this matter to heart."

"Long live understanding!" Zhao Bigan said.

Several people were talking, and soon the car stopped.

The car door opened, and Guo Yunpeng got out of the car with Xu Taiping and Zhao Bigan.

Xu Taiping looked around and found that they were in a police station from the Republic of China period.

A platform had been set up in the courtyard of the police station with banners hung on it.

There are a few words written on the banner: "Starting Ceremony of the Movie "Tianxing""

There must be at least a hundred people around the stage, including some actors in makeup and crew members.

"Producer Guo!" A man wearing a small hat walked over from the side and greeted Guo Yunpeng with a smile on his face.

"Come, let me introduce you, Director Chen. This is Mr. Xu Taiping, our investor. Mr. Xu, this is Director Chen Mao Chen. One of the top directors in our country right now!" Guo Yunpeng said with a smile.

"Director Chen!" Xu Taiping stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Mao.

"Mr. Xu, I've never heard of your name. This must be your first time investing in a movie, right?" Chen Mao asked with a smile.

"Well, this is the first time, but it won't be the last!" Xu Taiping laughed.

"This is the first time I invest in a movie with such a large amount of money. Mr. Xu is really unusual!" Chen Mao said with a smile.

A few people bragd to each other for a while, and then Chen Mao went to bring over the male and female protagonists of this movie and got to know Xu Taiping.

The male and female protagonists are both top domestic stars. The male protagonist is called Ding Zonglei. He is in his thirties and is a powerful idol actor. He has made several movies with first-rate reputation and box office. Xu Taiping saw this actor at first sight. The protagonist feels that he has an appetite for him. A pair of sharp eyebrows make this man look very decent and tall. Even when facing an investor like himself, he will not look groveling and speaks very well.

The heroine is called Lian Ying. She is in her early twenties and is very popular in China. She is recognized as an old drama star among the younger generation. She looks very lively and is quite popular.

After a few people chatted briefly, Zhao Bigan ran to find Zhao Xiaohua.

Zhao Xiaohua did not appear in front of Xu Taiping, and the director did not go out of his way to treat Zhao Xiaohua well. After all, Zhao Xiaohua could only be regarded as the second female lead in this drama. Although the director knew that this drama was mainly to flatter Zhao Xiaohua, but , everything has a priority. People who really follow the rules will not let the second female lead come out at this time, because in this case, it will steal the limelight of the female lead, which is not conducive to the next scene. .

After chatting with the director and the leading actor and actress for a while, Xu Taiping was led by Guo Yunpeng to sit right in front of the stage.

"This launch ceremony will be covered by a lot of media. I have completely sold out my reputation this time. Just wait for our launch ceremony to make the headlines!" Guo Yunpeng proudly said to Xu Taiping.

"Haha, okay!" Xu Taiping smiled and looked around.

The entire crew is busy, and it is said that filming will begin immediately after the opening ceremony.

"We will have to go on stage to take photos with the director later. Are you okay?" Guo Yunpeng asked.

"No problem!" Xu Taiping shook his head.

In the past, he would not do such high-profile things, but then Xu Taiping figured it out. He is now playing a successful man in the world. Isn't this kind of long-faced person's favorite thing? Therefore, he did not refuse Guo Yunpeng's invitation.

After waiting for a while, Guo Yunpeng looked at his watch, frowned and said, "Why hasn't the media come yet?"

"Is it possible that I was stopped by someone like you?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"It's impossible. Logically speaking, the media should all be here by now. I invited a lot of media here today, so they have to come early to occupy a favorable position. How is it possible that not a single media person is here at this time?" Guo Yunpeng said.

"Then you'd better ask, so as not to cause any problems after you get it!" Xu Taiping suggested.

"Yeah!" Guo Yunpeng nodded, picked up the phone and walked aside.

About ten minutes later, Guo Yunpeng walked over with a dark face.

"Damn, these bastards actually let me go. Damn it!" Guo Yunpeng said angrily.

"Let you go? Everyone?!" Xu Taiping asked in shock. Logically speaking, even if someone lets go, it's impossible for everyone to let go.

"Well, I heard them say that today, Martin's new movie also started filming in the movie city, and it was also the opening ceremony at this time, so they all went to Martin's place! Martin, you know, right? He's the idiot last time !" Guo Yunpeng said.

"Is this the same Martin who spent a lot of money to shoot something, but ended up having no money to pay?" Xu Taiping asked.

"That's it. That guy must have known that we were going to have a power-on ceremony today, so he also held a power-on ceremony at this time! He must have done this on purpose, to disgust us on purpose!" Guo Yunpeng said angrily.

"Not a single media person came?" Xu Taiping asked with a frown.

"Yeah!" Guo Yunpeng nodded with an extremely ugly face and said, "They all went to Martin's side. After all, Martin is a world-class director, and our Director Chen is still far behind him."

"It seems that your face is not very valuable, hahaha!" Xu Taiping laughed and patted Guo Yunpeng on the shoulder.

"My face is indeed not worth much in front of Martin." Guo Yunpeng was not angry because of Xu Taiping's words. He shook his head and said, "Martin has not filmed a new movie for many years. This time, he will film a new movie to attract people. It attracted the attention of all entertainment media across the country, and he did not reveal any information in advance. Those media were only notified today, so we didn’t know."

"Since there isn't, then forget it. Let's entertain ourselves, isn't it good?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Entertaining yourself?" Guo Yunpeng showed a wry smile and said, "Indeed, I can only entertain myself today."

"Relax, our goal is to win the Oscar!" Xu Taiping looked at Guo Yunpeng and said, "Although I don't know much about your industry, I also know that many Oscar-winning movies do not receive as much attention as those Any super blockbusters are just like us, so relax. By the way, where are our movies filmed?"

"Part of it is in the film and television city, and some of it is going to Hong Kong. After Hong Kong is over, it will go to Hollywood. The final post-production will also be in Hollywood. By then, our movie will be released at the same time all over the world!" Guo Yunpeng said .

"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "Our layout covers the entire world, so don't worry too much about this little thing."

"Yeah!" Guo Yunpeng nodded.

Not long after, it was time to start the power-on ceremony.

The whole scene was very deserted, with only three people from the crew, Xu Taiping, Guo Yunpeng, and Zhao Bigan.

The director came on stage first and said something, followed by the male and female protagonists, and then Guo Yunpeng came on stage as the producer to speak.

After everyone had finished speaking, Xu Taiping, as an investor, was invited to the stage to cut the ribbon. At this time, Xu Taiping and Zhao Xiaohua had contact, because Zhao Xiaohua was standing next to Xu Taiping and back. Location.

In front of Zhao Xiaohua are people like Lian Ying and Ding Zonglei. Zhao Xiaohua is a little far away from Xu Taiping, but not very far away.

Today, Zhao Xiaohua is wearing a Republic of China-style cheongsam, and her entire makeup is from the Republic of China period. She looks very attractive.

"You look really good today!" Xu Taiping whispered.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Zhao Xiaohua smiled and nodded, a completely polite reply.

Xu Taiping was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't say those words to you today, I just said them to your dad."

"You don't need to explain to me. I think this is good. Our relationship is pure and clean. No one can make irresponsible remarks, right?" Zhao Xiaohua said.

"That's right." Xu Taiping nodded and said, "Let's have dinner together later."

"Let's see when I finish work today!" Zhao Xiaohua said.

When Xu Taiping saw Zhao Xiaohua being so cold, he really couldn't say anything. After all, he was an investor, and he couldn't be an investor's warm face but the cold butt of the second female lead, right?

Of course, if Zhao Xiaohua really wants to take off her pants and stick them on Xu Taiping, then Xu Taiping can't stick them on or not. But at the moment, Xu Taiping can't say anything more. He is an investor after all, so he has to have his own airs. .
