He Xin is very familiar with the TV series "Chinese Style Divorce".
When this drama was aired, he had just gotten married. At that time, the couple would watch this drama every day after dinner. He still remembers his wife saying a very classic saying at that time: Life was too good, and that’s why
Get divorced!
Yes, the lives of those in the play were too far away for them at that time.
Director Chen plays a well-known hepatobiliary surgeon, Jiang Wenli plays the unruly wife who is a primary school teacher, Director Chen’s friend Liu Dongbei, Juanzi played by Zuo Xiaoqing, and their neighbors——
A single woman with children, Yongmei, etc.
These people in the TV series are all successful and middle-class people from the bottom group of society, who were called He Xiaozu in their previous life. Only people who have greatly enriched their material life and begun to pursue the spiritual world will be like the people in the TV series.
All kinds of hypocrisy.
For people like them who are struggling with food and clothing and have to run around for life every day, being able to watch two episodes of their favorite TV series after dinner every day is already the greatest happiness. How can they still have the energy to get divorced?
?
He Xin sat in the car and roughly flipped through the script. In fact, he knew without reading that the only role he was suitable for was the second male lead in the script - Song Jianping's good friend played by Daoming Chen, who always believed that physical betrayal was not love.
During the betrayal of his beautiful and pure wife, Liu Dongbei, who couldn't bear the hunger and thirst, dared to call the technician to the house.
It's just that he remembered that it was two years later when he watched this show in his previous life.
"Sister Hong, when is this drama going to start filming?"
"It's just in the preparation stage now, and it may take some time. How about it, are you interested in this drama?" Sister Hong said while driving.
"Um."
He Xin nodded pretendingly and said in an artist-like tone: "The role in this drama is very challenging. I want to try it."
Oops!
Chang Jihong was caught off guard and said hurriedly: "Have you thought clearly? The role you are suitable for in this drama is not the male lead..."
"The second male lead, Liu Dongbei! When I said it was very challenging, I was referring to this role."
I have to say that Liu Dongbei, who used "physical betrayal is not a betrayal of love" as an excuse for his cheating, is really comparable to the greasy scumbag in later generations who claimed that "a capable male should possess more females".
Perhaps while people are condemning them, men are somewhat envious of these wanton scumbags. After all, humans are also animals, and the instinct of animals is to possess more females. But the reason why humans become humans and have human civilization is ultimately
The important point is that there are moral constraints. If you exceed this bottom line, you cannot be called a human being.
He Xin had only one wife in his last life. In this era of increasingly civilized society and hair shampoo shops everywhere, he may be a little sad in the eyes of others, or he may be laughed at as a man with no ability, but I am afraid that he will not be able to
He himself didn't realize that besides being short of money, there was also a moral bottom line in his heart that always restrained him, preventing him from taking a step beyond the limit.
There are some things you can't do in the real world, but it's a good and exciting choice to experience it in a play. What's more, in this play are Chen Daoming, Jiang Wenli, and Yong Mei, who are extremely outstanding actors of the Mesozoic era.
.
Needless to say, Director Chen, Jiang Wenli's stunning performance in "Farewell My Concubine" made He Xin extremely amazed, especially the look in her eyes.
As for Yongmei, she was the Berlin Best Actress. She left a deep impression on He Xin in this TV series in her previous life. But she seemed to be very mysterious. It was not until she won the Berlin Best Actress for Wang Xiaoshuai's "Eternal Life" that people began to
Only then did we find out that she, who always appears on the screen as an intellectual, actually has a husband who is a rock veteran. Could it be that she still has a wild heart under her intellectual and quiet appearance?
As for Zuo Xiaoqing, another beautiful woman in this TV series, she is the most famous among the few actors that He Xin has seen in his previous life.
I remember that when a very trendy Pizza Hut opened in his hometown county, she came over to help at the counter, giving He Xin the opportunity to see her beauty. The impression that left on him at first was that besides being beautiful, she was probably extremely thin and had extremely white skin.
It is said that the reason why she came to the platform that day was because the owner of this Pizza Hut was good friends with her husband.
In short, many reasons made him very happy to take on this drama. However, in view of his criminal record, Sister Hong still asked unconfidently: "Let me tell you, I just got the script from Teacher Wang Hailing.
And it is said that the director of this drama was just a director of commercials before. This is his first time directing a TV series. No one can say for sure what his specific abilities are. Will you have to change your mind by then?"
But this guy said resolutely: "Don't worry, Sister Hong, I will definitely not change my mind this time."
Sister Hong still couldn't believe it, so she asked again: "You just looked through it casually and made up your mind?"
"Well, yes, it's mainly the theme of family ethics that attracts me."
…
As Chang Jihong said, preparations for this drama have just begun.
The producer of this drama is Beijing Jindun Xintong Film and Television Company. Anyone who can be related to Jindun has a giant behind it.
Last year's hit drama "Don't Talk to Strangers", which was a highly topical social topic and praised Hongmei Ting and Feng Yuanzheng in one fell swoop, was produced by this company.
The boss of this company, Zhu Zhibing, is a visionary producer. He originally cast Feng Yuanzheng, who was not well-known but had sufficient acting skills, against all odds, and achieved great success. This time he cast new director Shen Yan again, and it was another astonishing success.
Lift.
In fact, Shen Yan is roughly similar to Feng Yuanzheng. Although he is a new director, he is a graduate of the 1987 Nortel Directing Department. He is only one year younger than well-known sixth-generation directors such as Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye, and Lu Xuechang.
Fou and other new directors are classmates, and have been shooting commercials for more than ten years. He is definitely mature in terms of experience and technology. Of course, it is his first time to direct a feature film, so he has a very weak say in casting.
Chang Jihong directly contacted the producer Zhu Zhibing. The reason why she got the script immediately was because the screenwriter Wang Hailing was an old friend with her, and the other party wanted Jiang Wenli to play the female lead in the play.
No. Lin Xiaofeng.
It is said that since "Hand in Hand" became a hit and won the Feitian Award for Best Actress, Jiang Wenli has become one of the most popular Mesozoic actresses in domestic TV dramas with a series of hit dramas such as "Black Ice" and "Mansion Gate".
There was no news about Jiang Wenli here, but Chang Jihong took the initiative to send a candidate for the second male lead, which surprised Zhu Zhibing and was quite happy at the same time.
Although He Xin is not yet well-known, he has enough buzz due to his reputation as the Golden Horse Best Actor, as well as starring in the Haiyan drama "Jade Goddess of Mercy" and director Lou Ye's first film in the system "Purple Butterfly"
And the potential to become popular.
Zhu Zhibing immediately agreed and also offered a very sincere salary of 20,000 per episode.
In fact, Zhu Zhibing's most important job right now is to find the male lead in this drama. He has targeted Chen Daoming from the beginning, but Mr. Chen, like Jiang Wenli, has not yet responded after receiving the script.
However, just after Zhu Zhibing settled on He Xin as the second male lead, he received an unsolicited call from Mr. Chen's agent Wang Jinghua. Mr. Chen liked the drama very much and was willing to star in it.
Of course, although Teacher Chen has always claimed to be noble, he is not aloof from the world, otherwise he would not be wearing a Lilang windbreaker, drinking He Qizheng, and growing up with Deluxe.
As the eldest brother of Wang Jinghua, he is also responsible for the important task of raising his younger brothers and sisters.
In exchange, Wang Jinghua recommended actors for the three roles of Liu Dongbei, Juanzi, and Xiao Li, which was equivalent to including all the candidates for the main roles except the already confirmed female lead.
Although her appearance is a bit ugly, Sister Hua has accumulated a lot of good reputation in the industry over the years, and the acting skills of her actors are also very reliable, at least they will not pretend to be fake.
The three actors recommended by Sister Hua have just starred in "Qianlong Dynasty" directed by Ye Daying and starring Mr. Jiao Huang, and it is said that they all performed well.
There is no problem with the selection of the second female lead and the third female lead in the play. Only Zhu Zhibing is chosen for the second male lead. I can only say sorry to Sister Hua.
After hearing He Xin's name, Sister Hua stopped insisting. After all, the Jia Yingying she had was not comparable to He Xin. The two were not on the same level at all.
He Xin definitely didn't know about these behind-the-scenes tidbits. He also knew Jia Yingying. He was in the same class as Cheng Hao until one day he received a call from his girlfriend.
"Have you received a new role?"
"It can only be said that we are receiving it. The contract has not been signed yet, so it is not really received." He Xin reported the report to his girlfriend very rigorously.
At the same time, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
In view of the lesson he learned last time when he gave up on the drama "Proof of Memory", he didn't say anything to his girlfriend before it was officially finalized.
"Tch, what can I not know about you?" Cheng Hao said in a arrogant tone.
But she soon revealed the answer.
"It's Jia Pingping. My old classmate told me that you stole his role!"
"I stole Jia Pingping's role?" He Xin looked confused.
Although he had watched this drama in his previous life, he only remembered Liu Dongbei's scumbag attributes and had long forgotten what the actor looked like, let alone his name.
As for Jia Yingying, He Xin knew that he had a good relationship with his girlfriend. It was said that when he was in school, this guy was so wasteful that he didn't even have money to pay for his trip home. It was Cheng Hao who generously donated money to help him tide over the difficulties.
As for what dramas he has acted in later years? He Xin only remembers that there was only one TV series about the navy, in which he played the captain of a navy flagship who grew up from a marine.
Can a Marine become a captain? He Xin was a little confused.
However, according to this logic, airborne troops may also become fighter pilots.
This is probably a kind of crossover!
"Is he talking nonsense? I didn't know such a thing happened at all. Besides, when I got the script, the preparation of this drama had just begun."
"Then the male lead in this drama is Director Chen?"
"Uh, yes."
He had expected that Director Chen would be the male lead in this drama, and Sister Hong had just informed him of this news.
Being able to collaborate with Director Chen was an unexpected joy for Sister Hong. After all, Teacher Chen's acting skills and personality are well-known in front of people all over the country. I just asked He Xin not to be late when filming with Teacher Chen.
"That's it, Jia Yingping's current manager is Wang Jinghua."
He Xin understood it as soon as he heard it, because he and Chen Daoming are the same agent. It is obviously the pattern of the eldest brother to take care of the younger brothers and sisters, but because Jiang Wenli is the female lead, he is also somewhat taken care of by the eldest sister.
the meaning of.
But he still emphasized to his girlfriend on the phone: "But I am the first one to be settled."
"Then you just said that it hasn't been finalized yet?"
"What I mean is that the contract hasn't been signed yet. From a legal perspective, nothing has settled yet." He hurriedly defended, and at the end he smiled and said: "But the possibility of this change is very small. Sister Hong has already
Make an appointment with the director for me to meet and chat tomorrow afternoon."
