I don’t know what Zhang Ziyi was thinking. After attending the event on the 23rd, she really asked the staff to go to the organizer to ask for leave, and even insisted on dragging He Xin along.
He Xin didn't care. If he had some unrealistic hopes when he came to the film festival last year, then he didn't have any hope at all this time, because "Purple Butterfly" was originally a movie with a female protagonist.
, in the finished film, he, Feng Yuanzheng, and Hiroshi Nakamura all have similar roles. It is impossible to award the Best Actor to a leading actor with few roles.
His visit to Cannes this time was not only to promote the movie, but also to show off his appearance. During this period, Sister Hong was not only responsible for his eating, drinking and eating, but also always paid attention to the situation of the domestic media.
During the more than ten days in Cannes, many press releases appeared about him, such as "Zhang Ziyi and He Xin went to Cannes for the second time", "Purple Butterfly" flew to Cannes, Zhang Ziyi and He Xin got off the plane and wanted a delicious meal", "Congratulations
New talk about Cannes thanks: Nothing special", "Purple Butterfly premiere, Zhang Ziyi, He Xin "talk about love"" and so on.
It's just that most people associated his name with Zhang Ziyi, and there was no way to name him popular. So later, He Xin felt a little embarrassed every time he saw such news headlines, feeling that he was trying to get Zhang Ziyi's reputation.
The light. You must know that he did not get this kind of treatment when he came to Cannes last year, let alone two years ago when he was in Berlin, no one paid attention to him.
In comparison, Zhang Ziyi is more provocative. After all, she was praised by the well-known film critic Boulder as "the Audrey Hepburn of the East" and is the dark horse in the competition for best actress at this year's film festival.
But what is regrettable is that the organizer readily agreed to their request for leave, which means that the two of them will definitely miss the award.
Now that he has asked for leave, of course he can't stay here anymore. Both of them have booked a flight to Paris at 11:30 in the evening. When he was leaving, He Xin saw Zhang Ziyi's rigid little face and didn't dare to follow her.
She chatted.
Reporters paid special attention to all the disturbances during the film festival, especially the news that Zhang Ziyi, known as the "big dark horse", had to leave early and not attend the awards ceremony. Almost all Chinese media and some foreign reporters were at the Carlton Intercontinental Plaza.
Hotel entrance.
When Zhang Ziyi, who had a dark face all the way downstairs, was attacked by reporters at the door of the hotel, she suddenly smiled brightly and kept waving to everyone. He Xin, who was following behind, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"What a good actor!"
"Zi Yi, you and He Xin left early this time and did not attend the award ceremony. Does this mean that you are not eligible for the award?"
A middle-aged female reporter with a strong appearance seized the opportunity and asked a question that everyone wanted to know and was also very spicy.
Zhang Ziyi's expression did not change at all, and she said calmly: "When I came to France this time, I asked for ten days of leave from the crew. When we arrived in Cannes, we had already booked a flight back to China today. During this time in France, the crew has already
I made many phone calls to urge me.”
As we all know, Zhang Ziyi has been filming the movie "Jasmine Blooms" directed by Hou Yong in Shanghai.
Then she changed the subject and said with a smile: "For us, being able to come to Cannes is a victory. Winning awards is not the most important thing. Many friends who have seen the premiere said that this movie is very good. I am already very happy.
Already."
"So, did you voluntarily give up in the battle with Nicole Kidman for the best actress?" Another handsome French guy immediately followed and asked.
"As I said just now, winning awards is not the most important thing. Of course, Nicole is a very good actor and has many talents. Unless there is a dark horse, I think she has a good chance of winning the title." Zhang Ziyi smiled and spoke English that was not very fluent.
road.
But as soon as she finished speaking, another reporter asked her if she thought she was a dark horse.
"Oh, no... I haven't seen "Dogville" yet, but I have confidence in "Purple Butterfly"..."
Most reporters gathered around Zhang Ziyi, but some domestic media also targeted He Xin.
He Xin, based on the draft he prepared in advance, said with an innocent face: "The crew of "Painted Soul" has arrived in Paris. I have to meet the crew. Of course, if I really have a chance to win, it will be very convenient to fly from Paris.
.”
He is not lying about this. Guan Jinpeng and the crew of "Painted Soul" arrived in Paris in advance yesterday. He left today just to meet the crew. Zhang Ziyi also needs to transfer in Paris when she returns to China.
But when they arrived in Paris, Zhang Ziyi suddenly stopped leaving. He Xin thought she was in a bad mood and wanted to relax, but Sister Hong said with disdain: "She is deliberately causing a conversation!"
"What topic did it cause?" He Xin asked confused.
Sister Hong looked at him like a stupid roe deer and couldn't help but sigh, and then explained to him: "Think about it, she announced to reporters that she was going back to China when she left Cannes. There will be a lot of media attention tomorrow.
Waiting for her to show up at Shanghai Pudong Airport to interview her. But what if she doesn’t show up?”
"Then the wait is in vain!"
But when he saw the joking expression on Sister Hong's face, he was moved and guessed: "In this case, maybe the media will speculate that she may have the hope of winning the award, stay in Paris temporarily, and be ready to return to Cannes at any time. Or there may be something more optimistic.
It is estimated that "Purple Butterfly" has received notification from the organizer, and maybe it will return to Cannes long ago."
"That's right!" Sister Hong clapped her hands and said, "Look, this has caused speculation and topics in the media! This popularity will at least be maintained until the official award ceremony on the 25th. Then she will return to China in a grand manner.
Talk to the media about your feelings about participating in this film festival, and reveal the answer to the mystery of your disappearance, which is another hot topic."
As she said this, Sister Hong sighed with emotion: "This must be her agent Lingling's idea. Look at how smart she is!"
However, He Xin was speechless and said: "Sister Hong, I was just guessing just now. Maybe she was in a bad mood because she had no hope of winning, and wanted to relax in Paris before going back."
"Tch, do you think it's an accident that she's so popular now? I always thought she was lucky in the past, but this time I finally saw it. Look at how experienced she is at such a young age!" Sister Hong snorted coldly.
I just think of some of my subordinates who are either rookies or quite mature people like Li Xiaoran who are still ignorant. They only know how to play games all day long and have no ambition at all.
It makes me feel bad just thinking about it.
"Okay, go out. Maybe the person who came to pick you up has been waiting outside."
He Xin came to Paris to join the crew, while Sister Hong wanted to transfer here and go directly back to the capital. It is said that the infectious disease that has been raging for several months has finally subsided. The last person in the capital who was in serious condition two days ago was infected.
The patient has been discharged from the hospital, and those close contacts have been released from isolation one after another. The capital is finally at peace. A lot of things have accumulated in the past, and Sister Hong is also eager to go back.
"Oh, by the way, after you finish filming here, come back quickly. The winery's advertising has almost been discussed. If there are no problems here, I will sign a contract with them when I go back this time?"
"This is no problem, you can sign it as soon as you see it. But after I finish here, I have to go back to Shanghai first and then return to the capital in two days." He Xindao.
A winery in Hebei Province asked him to be a spokesperson and offered him an endorsement fee of 500,000 yuan a year. He was quite sincere and the request was simple. In addition to taking some promotional photos, it was just a single advertisement.
Oh, one more thing, the product of this winery is called Hengshui Laobaigan.
…
He Xin didn't have many scenes in France. They were walking along the Seine River with Li Meiren, drinking coffee on the Champs Elysées, or flirting on the lawn of the École des Beaux Arts in Paris, etc. Most of them were on location.
It was done in a week.
It’s just that Li Mei and Yi Nengjing have slightly more scenes. The reason why Lao Guan put the scenes in France at the end is to allow the actors to take a vacation while filming. In short, the atmosphere is quite relaxed.
He also picked out two sets of cosmetics for his girlfriend. He didn't understand this at first, but fortunately he had the help of fashionista Li Meiren as a consultant. Later, under Li Meiren's encouragement, he gritted his teeth and spent more than 10,000 euros on another one for his girlfriend.
A friend bought a bag with a big "H" prominently placed on it.
This is the most expensive thing he has bought in his two lives, apart from the house. This is because Li Meiren's unintentional words touched him.
Li Meiren said: "A bag is a woman's dignity and a source of self-confidence."
He Xin left Shanghai for France with Lou Ye, Zhang Ziyi and others on May 12th. It was already early June when they came back.
Half a month is enough to change a lot of things.
First of all, with the disappearance of the impact of the infectious disease, the originally deserted Oriental Magic City has already returned to its former bustle. The second one is that his girlfriend Cheng Hao has become completely popular at this time.
At the end of April, "Pink Girl" landed on the Shanghai TV drama channel during prime time, and immediately set a ratings record for the same period this year. By mid-May, it was broadcast on the TV drama channel, and was broadcast for a second time on the Oriental Channel during the same time period. The ratings
It was exactly the same as when it first aired, and it still topped the list of all programs in the same period. At this time, "Pink Girl" had been fully launched on major TV stations across the country. The four girls in the play with different styles suddenly became popular all over the country.
Especially the heartthrob image is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
There is no doubt that, like Zhao Wei's little swallow in the drama "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", heartthrob has become synonymous with Cheng Hao.
Just during the time that He Xin left, she accepted two more advertisements, shot three magazine covers, and continued to receive film appointments. He Xin also heard from his girlfriend on the phone that during this period, the person in their company
The slut king is about to smile crookedly.
Of course, Lao Wu is not a stingy person. Seeing that the first sister that the company has been cultivating has finally blossomed, he immediately assigned a car and a driver.
The people who picked him up from the airport were the young driver named Xu Jin and the brand new Buick top-of-the-line commercial vehicle under his butt.
"Wow, Biotherm! This is this year's new model. I've seen it in Jiuguang Department Store. The price is so expensive, how can you give it up?"
“Ah, there’s also Lancôme, I’ve never seen this style before!”
"Ms. Li helped select them. She was originally the spokesperson for L'Oreal Greater China. These are all brands owned by L'Oreal. She said these are most suitable for girls in their twenties."
Seeing his girlfriend yelling, He Xin was very proud, and then took out an ultimate weapon from the suitcase.
When Cheng Hao saw the big "H" on the outer package, he was startled at first, then quickly took out the bag inside, looked left and right, looked at it for a while, and then said with a puzzled face: "Is this true?
?”
"..."
Li Meiren was indeed right. Women's desire for bags even exceeded his imagination. In the end, when he took out the cash register receipt full of foreign characters, when his girlfriend saw the euro symbol on it and the five digits after it,
A number finally screamed in surprise.
That night also allowed him to experience the unprecedented enthusiasm of his girlfriend. He found a new way and it was really wonderful!
It's a pity that he couldn't stay in Shanghai for much longer this time. Sister Hong kept urging him to return to the capital one after another. In addition, his girlfriend was also busy, busy filming commercials and busy performing in various places. He just stayed.
I had to fly back to Beijing in two days.
"Director Guo, I think there are at least four pictures of this Chen Fei in the script. Is it suitable for me to play it?"
In the office of Hongjie Company, He Xin met Guo Jingyu, the TV drama director who was rarely remembered in his memory in his previous life.
I can remember the name of this director because he has watched a series of TV series directed by Guo in later generations, such as "Tie Li Hua", "Dog Stick", "Yangge", "Brave Heart", "Red Lady"
”, “Mother’s Way” and so on.
On the one hand, this is because these works of his are rare and down-to-earth and sincere works among the various anti-Japanese dramas and so-called big IPs that have flooded the small screen in later generations.
On the other hand, it’s because Director Guo is the famous “little brother-supporting devil” among directors. He Xin once read a report about him on the Internet, saying that he has been professionally supporting his younger brother for sixteen years, but he has never become famous!
And to support his wife and children, "Mother's Way" was born.
Although Director Guo did not praise his younger brother, He Xin was quite impressed by his younger brother. The main reason is that although the actor looks average, his speech is very distinctive. He just has a slight stutter and his lines are a bit like poetry.
The recitation is very slow, word for word, making people feel that time has slowed down.
There was a time in He Xin's last life when he felt that the male protagonists of several good TV series were all actors with average looks and awkward speech, so he checked online and saw the famous "Supporting the Devil" post.
I got to know Director Guo more deeply.
But now that I think about it, it turns out that his younger brother graduated from Nortel. No wonder!
Another point is that his wife is quite beautiful, both in appearance and voice, which is what He Xin likes. The only thing is that in "Mother's Way", there was a little too much hyaluronic acid on her face, and it looked like
His whole face froze. Qiuxiang, the stealing fourth grandmother played in "Tie Li Hua", was the most beautiful in He Xin's eyes.
The director Guo in front of me looks to be in his early thirties, with slightly naturally curly hair. If you look closely, his facial features are somewhat similar to his younger brother, an actor who has never been popular, but his overall aura is far superior.
His younger brother looks a bit wretched.
He also doesn't speak like his younger brother who can't straighten his tongue. On the contrary, he speaks sonorously and forcefully.
At this time, I saw him say frankly: "That's no problem. You are already more mature. If you modify your makeup a little bit, you will be completely qualified for this role!"
