Chapter 19 Lao Wu is a man of attention

Hengdian is a magical place.

Since 1996, the first film and television shooting base, Guangzhou Street Scenic Area, was built here in order to cooperate with Xie Jin's "War of So-and-So".

The next year, for the filming of the historical blockbuster "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" directed by Kai Ge, a second scenic spot, the Qin Palace, was built here.

Since then, scenic spots such as Hong Kong Street, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, Palace Gardens of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Jiangnan Water Village have been built here.

By 2002, twelve film and television shooting bases had been established here.

Of course, it is still far from what it was a dozen years later. A dozen years later, hundreds of film and television dramas are produced here every year, and during peak hours, dozens of crews start work here every day.

At the same time, there are hundreds of film and television production companies (studio) gathered here, and hundreds of thousands of extras.

There are countless stars who have come out from here, creating a large number of famous Cannes Best Actors, Berlin Best Actors, Venice Best Actors, Golden Globe Award Winners, Oscar Best Actors, and even the Emperor Superstar who brings all the best actors together.

Of course, the last part is just the author's obscenity and self-pleasure that exist in entertainment novels.

But all in all, this is a magical place.

He Xin came here once in his previous life, in the summer of 2006. It was the only time he traveled here in his previous life. After visiting Suzhou and Hangzhou, he specifically stopped in Hengdian for a day on his return trip.

At that time, this place was already a relatively famous tourist attraction. Due to limited time, I only visited the Qin Palace and the Qingming Riverside Scenery that day.

What probably impressed him most was that it cost 40 yuan to ride a horse and be led around the square in front of the Qin Palace. And when eating at a restaurant opposite the entrance of the Qingming River Scene, he ordered a 48-yuan old-fashioned drink.

Duck and taro stew, not counting the lack of water in the clear soup, but only three pieces of duck meat in it, which had been brutally butchered.

During the Chinese New Year, Cheng Hao knew that he was coming to Shenghai, so he specially left him a key to the apartment. After sleeping for a night in a bed filled with the smell of his girlfriend, early the next morning, he was standing in front of the apartment.

At the long-distance bus station of the Stadium with 80,000 people in the distance, we boarded the Zhejiang Express bound for Hangzhou.

Then he transferred to Dongyang and paid 50 yuan for a black car at the entrance of Dongyang Bus Station. He arrived at Hengdian at noon. This time he didn't make any surprise attack. Surprise is a happy thing once or twice, but there are many more.

Then it becomes really scary.

He called her while he was on the road, but his girlfriend was filming at that time, and it was his assistant Chu Qing who answered the phone.

When the car arrived at the door of the hotel where the crew was staying, Chu Qing was already waiting at the door. Seeing He Xin coming down, he hurriedly came up to greet him and said, "Brother Xin, how is your journey going?"

"It's okay, but it's a little troublesome to reverse."

"How are you?" he asked casually as he walked up the steps.

"Mr. Wu has just arrived and is talking to Sister Haohao." Xiao Qing whispered quickly, secretly observing his face as he spoke.

"Oh, Mr. Wu is here." He Xin nodded.

In fact, except for the first moment when Wu Kebo seemed to be a little too concerned about Cheng Hao, which aroused his vigilance, he actually had a good impression of Wu Kebo as a person.

At least Lao Wu is a fastidious person. After his relationship with Cheng Hao was exposed, he never acted too much. It is not like what is described in the novel. Rich people are often unkind and rely on their wealth and power.

, do all those bullshit things like bullying men and dominating women.

In fact, to be honest, what kind of beauties does a man with Lao Wu's wealth and the boss of a film and television company want these days? There are probably a lot of beauties, whether inside or outside the industry, who want to fall for him.

As soon as he walked into the hotel lobby, He Xin saw Lao Wu and a middle-aged man wearing a beige suit and plaid trousers, looking like a slut, talking to his girlfriend who was still wearing a costume on the sofa in the corner.

As he spoke, he seemed to have a more serious expression.

At this time, Wu Kebo, who was sitting facing the door, glanced here accidentally. When he saw He Xin walking in, he immediately stood up from the sofa with a smile on his face.

The handsome middle-aged man who was talking eloquently to Cheng Hao stopped talking and looked over.

When Cheng Hao saw He Xin, he walked towards him with a look of joy.

"You're here! Hey, where's your luggage?"

"In just two days, I brought a bag." He Xin said with a smile.

After parting ways during the New Year, the two of them had not seen each other for more than half a month.

As he spoke, he smiled and extended his hand to Wu Kebo, who was walking over, and said, "Hello, Mr. Wu!"

"Haha, Xiao He, congratulations! We are looking forward to you taking home another Best Actor trophy!" Wu Kebo shook hands with him with a smile.

Around the Lantern Festival, several awards in the South announced their shortlists. The first was the 7th Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Awards. "Lan Yu" was nominated for seven of the eight awards except for Best Actress;

Then came the 21st Hong Kong Film Awards. "Lan Yu" received ten more nominations, and He Xin and Hu Jun were both nominated for Best Actor again.

Only in the 2nd Chinese Film Media Awards hosted by "Nandu", among the film nominations from Hong Kong and Taiwan, only Hu Jun was nominated for Best Actor, while the new Golden Horse Best Actor He Xin was not selected.

As soon as the nomination was announced, it caused a lot of controversy in the media. Even He Xin himself was a little confused. When he just won the Golden Horse Award, "Nandu" sent someone to interview him and boasted about it in the newspaper.

Why did you turn your back on me in such a blink of an eye?

Of course, Nandu, which has always claimed to be the best newspaper in China, is very arrogant and ignores the doubts from the outside world. However, the reporter Yuan Lei who came to Lijiang last time for an interview took the initiative to call him and explain.

Fan.

The general meaning is that their Hong Kong and Taiwan awards should be tilted towards Hong Kong and Taiwan actors as much as possible, because the number of nominations is limited, and He Xin has already won the Golden Horse Award, so forget it this time and leave the opportunity to win to others.

Okay, it looks lively, but it’s actually just sitting in rows to share fruit.

In fact, it is quite embarrassing to say that He Xin has made three movies. They are all stories that happened in the Mainland. They were shot in the Mainland and the actors were all Mainland actors. Except for "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" because the producer was Beijing Film Studio

, can barely be classified as a mainland film, "Lan Yu" has become a Hong Kong film, and "The Little Seamstress" is going to represent France in the Golden Globe and Oscar awards.

I don’t know where to explain this kind of thing!

"Mr. Wu won the award. It was a fluke last time. I don't think I have much hope this time." He Xin said modestly.

As he said that, he turned his attention to the handsome middle-aged man next to Old Wu.

"Congratulations, this is Mr. Wang of our company." Cheng Hao introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Wang!"

It turned out to be his girlfriend's temporary manager. He Xin quickly shook hands with him politely.

Not only did Mr. Wang look cool in his clothes, he was also quite funny. He said, "Xiao He, He Da is the best actor. I have heard of him for a long time, but it's a pity that I didn't officially know him until today. You are such a good mother-in-law to us."

It’s a bit out of sight!”

Old Wu also smiled and helped: "That's right, Xiao He, you are too outspoken! When you come to Shenghai, why don't you come to the company to sit down, otherwise we can just come together today."

"Well, I just arrived in Shenghai yesterday afternoon. I happened to have some things to deal with there. Sorry, I'm rude!" He Xin was really embarrassed by what they said.

"Is it for Director Lou's new movie?" Wu Kebo asked tentatively.

In fact, Lou Huohua's cooperation with the film studio this time is no longer news, but there are still various speculations about the cast.

He Xin had nothing to hide, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I came here mainly to communicate with the building director."

"This is a big investment!"

Old Wu sighed, with a bit of envy in his tone, and at the same time, his look at He Xin was a little more complex.
