After school in the afternoon, He Xin came to the Friendship Hotel.
When he was filming "Lan Yu", He Xin lived here for a while, and several scenes between him and Hu Jun were filmed here. Looking back at it now, I feel quite emotional.
"Director Guan! Sir Yang! Brother Niu!"
Knocking on the suite where Guan Jinpeng lives, there are three people sitting in the living room. In addition to Guan Jinpeng, there is also one of his royal editors, Yang Zhishen. Several of Guan Jinpeng's previous works, such as "The Happier the More Degenerate", "I Miss You Like the Past"
" are all written by Yang Zhishen. He Xin met him when he went to Hong Kong and even had dinner together, so he was familiar with them.
The other is Niu Le, the more familiar assistant director of "Lanyu".
"Haha, Ah Xin, long time no see!" Lao Guan came forward and hugged him.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, He Xin sat down and asked impatiently: "Director, what kind of play is this?"
"Have you heard of "Painting Soul"?" Guan Jinpeng said with a smile.
"Not only have I heard of it, I've also seen it, a movie starring Gong Li. Why, is it going to be adapted into a TV series this time?"
"bingo!"
Guan Jinpeng snapped his fingers and said: "Actually, we received this project when we were filming "Lan Yu" at the beginning of last year. Lao Yang has been adapting this work before. I am looking for you this time because I want you to play the male role in it.
No. 2 Tian Shouxin."
Guan Jinpeng had already asked about his schedule on the phone before, and expressed his interest in filming with him. Of course, as long as Lao Guan speaks, no matter what the role, even if it is a walk-on He Xin, there will be no problem. After all, he has won so much for "Lan Yu"
I owe so much honor to Lao Guan and so much favor to Dafa.
"Tian Shouxin? Isn't it Wang Shouxin?" He Xin said in surprise.
Because in Gong Li's version of the movie, Wang Shouxin was a close friend who helped Pan Yuliang a lot. He still remembered that Wang Shouxin in the movie was quite old and was played by the famous actor Da Shichang from Shanghai Film Studio.
This movie, which was produced by Shanghai Film Studio at that time, was not released in the mainland because it contained scenes of Gong Liquan. It was only released in Hong Kong, Bay Area and France. Of course, what he watched was a pirated disc.
"It's Tian Shouxin."
At this time, the screenwriter Yang Zhishen interrupted in a difficult Mandarin, and then took out the script and handed it to He Xin. At the same time, he explained: "Because the script has been re-adapted, it is quite different from the original work and the movie. You have to read it first."
He Xin took it and first read the synopsis of the story and the list of characters. He found that except for the characters of Pan Yuliang and Pan Zanhua, which were basically unchanged, the others were indeed quite different.
For example, he is asked to play Tian Shouxin. Compared with Wang Shouxin, the middle-aged man Pan Yuliang met in France in the movie, Tian Shouxin is a passionate and romantic young painter who was originally the boyfriend of Pan Yuliang's friend Omi and later fell in love with him.
Pan Yuliang, the two developed into lovers.
For another example, the role of the second female lead Omi in the script does not exist in the movie, and Yang Zhishen also admitted that this is a fictional character he made up.
"Director, are you planning to let Brother Jun play Pan Zanhua?" He Xin asked after a rough look.
"Haha! I said that Ah Xin is a smart man and he will definitely be able to guess it! Yes, I just want Hu Jun to play Pan Zanhua. I have already told him about it." Guan Jinpeng said with a smile.
"What about Pan Yuliang?"
What he cares most about is the actress who plays the heroine, because his scenes are basically opposite to the heroine.
"You're in luck this time, you bad guy. You can fall in love with two beauties from Hong Kong and Taiwan." Guan Jinpeng laughed. Seeing that He Xin still looked confused, he then laughed and said: "How about Li Jiaxin and Yi Nengjing?"
!”
He Xin suddenly showed a look of surprise. He was just like Yi Nengjing. She was just a young artistic woman from Wanwan who had a singing background. It was said that she liked to get into drama. For example, she knocked on Huang Lei's door in the middle of the night and shouted: "Mo, my
My chest hurts so much" and so on, and later married Qin Hao.
The most important thing is Li Jiaxin, who can definitely be called a real beauty. Among the many female stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are not many who are truly beauties. At least in his eyes, there is Lin Qingxia in Wanwan.
In Hong Kong, there is Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, and in the later period, there is Zhang Baizhi. After that, it seems that each generation is not as good as the last.
It's just that he had no impression of the TV series "Painting Soul" at all, so he subconsciously asked: "Li Jiaxin, can she also act in TV series?"
Lao Guan smiled and said nothing.
Niu Le hurriedly joked: "Li Jiaxin once starred in the director's "Sometimes to Dance". This time when the director opens his mouth, it is naturally a one-sentence matter."
He Xin nodded after hearing this, and was secretly happy at the same time. It seems that after these two years of beatings, Brother Niu's emotional intelligence has improved! Look at this little flattery.
Lao Guan might have been a little embarrassed by his filming, so he waved his hand and said: "It's not that exaggerated. I went to her with the script. She had read the novel "The Painted Soul" and Gong Li's movie.
, I like the character Pan Yuliang very much."
He Xin roughly understood that maybe this beautiful lady Li was also an artistic young woman.
One more thing, in fact, the profession of actors requires sensibility, so many people may have gradually developed into literary and artistic young people. Of course, this does not include the traffic of later generations or our great idempotence. They may also become literary and artistic young people.
Movies, but not because of the underlying literary and artistic plot, but because they want to use literary movies to prove their poor acting skills or improve their quality, but the result is often that they fail to show off and are fooled!
Guan Jinpeng said, and glanced at Niu Le with a smile, and added a bit reciprocally: "This time A Le will co-direct with me."
"Hey, congratulations to Brother Niu!" He Xin said hurriedly.
Niu Le also smiled like a flower, but said modestly: "This is all Director Guan's support, which gives me the opportunity to study next to Director Guan."
The two heroines in the script are played by female stars from Hong Kong and Bay Area respectively. In addition to the ratings consideration, I am afraid it also includes the concept of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places.
He Xin has not read the original novel, but when I was reading the relationship between the characters in the script just now, I discovered that there is a character named Anna in it, which is not in the movie. This character is set to be a social butterfly in Shanghai, the daughter of a big warlord, crazy.
She fell in love with Pan Zanhua and was Pan Yuliang's love rival. It was only after many disappointments and blows that she understood the truth that "a strong coat is not sweet".
This character reminded him of Wang Jiazhi in "Lust, Caution". Although the character setting was different, the type was similar. After a slight hesitation, he tentatively asked: "Director, has anyone chosen this Anna?"
"What, do you have any recommendations?" Guan Jinpeng asked, while looking at Niu Le.
It seems that Niu Le is still in charge of the casting part.
Guan Jinpeng is not surprised by He Xin's question. The main actors often recommend actors they are familiar with. On the one hand, it is a matter of favor or to support the younger generations. On the other hand, they can work more smoothly with familiar actors, which is also beneficial to the drama.
helpful.
Today's He Xin is no longer the He Xin he was when he was filming "Bicycle". Niu Le hurriedly said: "Someone recommended me a talented actor before, but I haven't decided yet. Xiao He, since you also have someone to recommend, why not
Let’s try the show together then.”
He Xin suddenly felt cold when he heard that he was an actor from Renyi, but then he thought about it. It would be a good idea to give Tangtang a chance to come over and try out the role. Even if he couldn't get the role of Anna, who was regarded as the third female lead, after all, the script
There are also many young female characters in it, such as Xiaolan.
"Thank you, Brother Niu! Thank you, director!"
"The audition may be in the near future. I will ask Ale to inform you then. In addition, I suggest you read the original novel before reading the script. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. I will live here for a while this time.
.”
"Okay!" He Xin nodded quickly.
When the business talk was almost done, he took the initiative and suggested: "Director, let's find a place to have dinner. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a drink!"
"Okay! We have been waiting for your words for a long time. You are the hosts when you come to the capital. Yesterday it was Ale's treat. Today it is your turn." Guan Jinpeng said with a smile.
While eating, He Xin asked the screenwriter Yang Zhishen for advice on the character of Anna. Anna, like Omi, who is to be played by Yi Nengjing, is a fictional character created by Yang Zhishen. The main purpose is to increase the storyline and conflicts. After all, it lasts for thirty episodes.
A TV series is fifteen times as long as a movie, so you have to pour water into it.
…
"Really! Thank you so much, Brother Xin... eh!"
When Tang Wei heard the news, he jumped up happily and even kissed him hard on the face.
He Xin was startled by her actions. He looked around subconsciously. Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor. At the same time, he looked a little embarrassed and said, "You girl, why are you so crazy?"
"So happy!"
Tang Wei may have felt that he was a little over-excited, and his face was slightly hot, but he still said excitedly: "Not counting "Conquer", this is the first time I have actually gotten a role, and I can also cooperate with big stars.
Brother Xin, I, I..."
At the end of the sentence, the girl's eyes were slightly red and she was a little incoherent.
"Stop it, stop it!"
He Xin hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting a role, I'm just helping you get an audition opportunity. The strong opponent is an actor from Renyi! Don't get too excited now, or be careful when the time comes.
"
To be honest, he was not very optimistic about the PK between Tang Wei and the Renyi actor.
Speaking of which, I also know the popular actor He Xin. Her name is Kong Yishan. She graduated from Nortel in 1996. She is a classmate with Chen Kun and Zhao Wei. In fact, her original name is the same as Tang Wei, Kong Wei, but
It's popular these days to change IDs, so I chose such a stage name with a literary and romantic flavor.
This Kong Yishan was undoubtedly an extremely strong opponent for Tang Wei when she came here. Just because she was the first film school student recruited by Renyi since its establishment 50 years ago, her strength can be seen clearly.
"I'm not afraid of competition, I'm afraid of not having a chance."
Tang Wei's words made He Xin feel a little distressed.
Because he knew that this girl had always loved acting. She was admitted to the directing department after failing to get into the acting department. However, because she was a student in the directing department, every time she took her resume to form a team, she repeatedly ran into obstacles.
Except for the last time He Xin introduced her as the recorder of "Conquest" and played a small cameo role, she had not even had the opportunity to play a small role before.
He Xin handed her the script and said, "Then you should hurry up and prepare carefully. The audition may be just a few days away. I also really hope you can get this role."
