The name Li Jiaxin may only have the word "beautiful" in everyone's mind. Compared with the two predecessors who are also famous for their beauty, she neither has the superb acting skills and the vigorous love story of Shuanglin nor the superb acting skills of one of them. There is no other "golf ball" legend.
She was placed there quietly like a beautiful vase. Her perfect appearance, if described in the words of a certain wretched old man, would be: the shape is too accurate, the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, the center of the strokes, Like Wang Xizhi's characters. Wang Xizhi's characters are extremely charming.
He Xin had seen her photos and watched her movies. In addition to her beauty, what also impressed him was her seemingly innocent eyes.
"Painting Soul" is the story of Pan Yuliang, a famous painter and sculptor living in France. This role has Gong Li Zhuyu in front of him. He Xin is very doubtful about what Li Jiaxin can use to interpret a strong and independent woman besides her beauty and her innocent eyes. The image of Pan Yuliang.
However, this was the first time that he had serious doubts about the other party's acting skills, but he still had a great desire to co-star with the other party. This seemed to have nothing to do with the performance itself, it was purely a man's whim, eager to have an affair with a beauty.
This affair also has nothing to do with love itself, it is a kind of appreciation, just like when you see a beautiful vase and know that it is expensive and you cannot have it, but this does not prevent you from standing there and quietly admiring it.
So, how could this not be an affair?
"You really don't want to go with me? Didn't you say you really want to see how beautiful Li Jiaxin is in real life?" He Xin asked his girlfriend again before going out.
"Oh, are you bothered? If you say you won't go, you won't go." Cheng Hao sat on the sofa, waving his hands as if to shoo away flies, with an impatient look on his face.
"Okay, I'm leaving then!" He Xin walked out with a smile.
Think about it, a woman who claims to be beautiful will neither be willing to stand next to her as a foil when she meets another even more beautiful woman. Probably only that silly woman Tangtang would be willing to do so. She was so shy that she even said that she was about to fall in love with her.
It’s really convenient to get to the set from my girlfriend’s apartment. I walk to the Caoxi Road subway station opposite the 80,000-person stadium and take Metro Line 2, which is commonly known as the Pearl Line by the locals. It crosses it in less than half an hour. For most of the city, get off at Dongbaoxing Road and exit the station to Duolun Road Cultural Street.
Duolun Road is not long, only a few hundred meters, and is not wide. It is a typical small street with a strong old Shanghai style. In fact, there are too many small streets and alleys like this in urban Shanghai. It’s just that What makes him awesome is that in modern Chinese history, there were too many cultural celebrities living on this small street.
For example, Lu Guomao, the first three of the six officially recognized literary masters - Lu Guomao, once lived in this small street. In addition, there are Ye Shengtao, Rou Shi, Feng Xuefeng and Japanese friend Uchiyama Wanzo They are all residents of this small street. The famous Neishan Bookstore is located on Sichuan North Road, less than 200 meters away from this road.
This road has been renovated as a tourist pedestrian street in the past two years. The road is paved with stones, and the various old houses on both sides of the road have been repainted, recreating the cultural customs of old Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s.
He Xin was strolling on this small street. Just as Guan Jinpeng said, if a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam came swaying towards her at this moment, the small heels of her high heels would click on her feet as she walked along.
Sure enough, it has its own style.
Following the route given by Laoguan on the phone yesterday, He Xin followed the map and found a two-story red round bungalow in a secluded alley. A small sign hung next to the wooden door shaded by grapevines: "Pan Yu.
”.
This is probably Pan Yuliang's home in Shanghai.
He Xin walked into the small bungalow and found that the conditions here were not as good as when he was filming "Landscape of Love" in Qingdao. The two rooms on the ground floor were covered with dusty and creaking wooden floors.
In a larger room, the most eye-catching thing is that there are some notices on the prevention of infectious diseases posted on the gray wall, and bottles of disinfectant are placed underneath. All the windows and doors are wide open, and many staff are crowded in the room.
We were walking back and forth, some wearing masks and some not.
There were messy toolboxes in the room, and there were many thick black wires lying across the floor. The only small sofa that could be sat on was also piled with clothes, and a little girl wearing glasses had to sit carefully on a wooden box.
There is also a smaller room inside. Looking towards the door, there are a few cheongsams and gowns hanging here and there. It is probably a simple dressing room.
Seeing He Xin standing at the door, looking around, a staff member who was not wearing a mask and looked at him glared at him and scolded him: "What are you doing? Take a walk, there is nothing to see here."
However, a man inside who was wearing a mask saw He Xin who was also wearing a mask. He took a second look and finally recognized him and shouted: "Brother Xin!"
"Hey, the new brother is here!"
"Brother Xin, I didn't recognize him just now!"
There are several people here who have worked together in "Lan Yu" or "Landscape of Love". Only then did He Xin realize that he was still wearing a mask, so he hurriedly took it off and greeted everyone one by one.
But the mainland staff member who was about to drive him away just now saw He Xin take off his mask, his eyes suddenly lit up, oh, Liu Huaqiang, Brother Qiang!
However, when he heard those people from Hong Kong calling him Brother Xin, they quickly followed him and apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Xin, I didn't know it was you!"
"It's okay, it's okay." He Xin waved his hand and then asked: "Where is the director?"
"We're filming Brother Jun's scene in the building behind."
"Brother Xin, let me take you there." The mainland staff member just now took the initiative.
"Oh, thank you!"
There is a relatively large bungalow behind this small red round bungalow. When you walk around the small bungalow, you will see a quite large yard. There are many staff working outside. When they see He Xin coming over, many familiar faces
Everyone also said hello.
He Xin nodded in agreement and walked into the building.
It is obvious that the condition of this building is much better than that of Xiaohonglou.
"Brother Xin, the director is filming upstairs, so I won't go up there." The staff member who brought him over nodded and bowed.
He Xin thanked him again and walked up the stairs.
There were many staff members walking around in a hurry in the corridor on the second floor. Because the lights were on, it was a bit hot in the room. Guan Jinpeng, wearing a short-sleeved undershirt, was sitting in front of the monitor and concentrating on directing the actors to perform.
When He Xin walked over, Lao Guan just raised his head and nodded slightly at him, continuing to work on the monitor. He Xin came to his side and saw that Hu Jun was wearing an khaki plaid gown, neatly combed.
Her head was seven-quarter-length, her hands were wrapped in gauze, and she was talking nervously to someone in the office.
Guan Jinpeng was obviously a little dissatisfied. After using the intercom to stop, he simply took off his earphones, walked to the next door, and communicated directly with Hu Jun and another actor.
He Xin then stuck his head at the door and winked at Hu Jun. He mentioned that they had not seen each other for almost a year after the last Academy Award.
After the scene was taken, Hu Jun walked out and punched him hard in the chest, laughing and saying: "What a good boy, you've been very popular recently!"
"No matter how popular you are, you are not as popular as you. When I came here, I thought you were quarantined! How about it, is it okay to go to the audition this time?" He Xin responded with a punch without showing any weakness and asked with a smile.
"Hey, your hands are so dark!"
Hu Jun rubbed the place where he was hit on his chest, but said with a rather proud expression: "I guess it's almost the same."
In his previous life, He Xin had only watched the first part of "Infernal Affairs" starring Tony Leung and Andy Lau, but had not seen the second and third parts. He was not sure what role Hu Jun played in it, but look at his appearance
, I guess the role is quite important. Besides, he also heard that the heroine is Liu Jialing, who is our "good friend" of Brother Jun.
"Ah Xin!" Guan Jinpeng poked his head out from the next room and shouted.
Hu Jun hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said: "You and Aguan chat first, I have to get ready, otherwise Aguan will really get angry."
He Xin walked to the small room next door where the monitor was placed. Lao Guan was discussing something with Niu Le. Before He Xin had time to say hello to Niu Le, Lao Guan immediately asked: "A Xin, I will arrange for you to go with Niu Le in the evening."
Are you okay with Michelle's scene?"
"Ah? Who is Michelle?" He Xin was stunned.
"That's Li Jiaxin." Niu Le helped explain.
What annoys Hong Kong people the most is that they always have foreign names, but Li Jiaxin seems to be of mixed race.
"Oh, this is no problem." He Xin said hurriedly.
He somewhat understands Lao Guan's anxiety. On the one hand, being quarantined for a week has already slowed down a lot of filming progress. On the other hand, he has to go to Cannes with the crew of "Purple Butterfly" on May 13th to participate in the film.
Festival, there are still at most twenty days left until the end of the holiday. Even though some scenes between him and Li Jiaxin were filmed in France, the time is still very tight.
"Director, which scene will be filmed tonight?" he asked immediately.
Guan Jinpeng scratched his scalp. He, who was always calm and elegant, now had a rare sad look on his face and said: "Let's shoot a few cutscenes first, mainly to let you and Michelle get used to each other first."
"OK!"
Although He Xin answered readily, his heart was unavoidable.
Why do we need to break in?
"Painting Soul" has been launched for more than a month, has Li Jiaxin not entered the state yet?
There is only one answer. Obviously, Guan Jinpeng is not satisfied with Li Jiaxin's performance. Lao Guan is not sure about Li Jiaxin starring opposite him.
Yesterday, he heard that during this period, the crew would shoot until midnight every day. Since the director had arranged a shooting task for him tonight, he first called his girlfriend to report it, and then stayed on the crew to observe the filming.
After watching a scene just now, he already understood that the scene shot in the afternoon was about Pan Zanhua, played by Hu Jun, discussing with someone how to go to a brothel to rescue people. Of course, the person being rescued was Pan Yuliang, played by Li Jiaxin.
But as he watched, he saw a problem. Because the duration of this scene was only about ten minutes at most, but Lao Guan shot it over and over again for more than three hours, and finally waited until he shouted "passed"
By the time, it was already dark outside.
This isn't a TV series, it's clearly a movie?
When he leaned on the pillar in the corridor and looked sympathetically at Hu Jun and another actor walking out exhausted, Hu Jun reluctantly twitched his face slightly, and his helplessness was palpable.
