Chapter 235: Refuse to be provocative and sell miserable
The play "I'm Not a Hero" was created by He Xin from more than 30 scripts, yes, more than 30 scripts.
After entering the new century, with the reform of TV stations in various places, in addition to satellite TV, special TV drama channels have been established one after another. With the expansion of the market, TV drama production has also experienced a blowout.
Popular nowadays are all kinds of dramas about history, costume comedies, and crime investigation dramas. He Xin doesn't want to read costume dramas, not because he is colorful, but because he knows he can't play such a role.
Almost all of his previous characters had their own lives, or had a reference point. Even if there was no life, he would find ways to experience life. But there is no way to experience it in period films. He didn't even know what the ancients were like at that time.
How do you behave and how do you act like this?
As for the cheap and cute characters in costume comedies, he felt very embarrassed and instinctively rejected them. In fact, a qualified actor should not reject any role. There is a saying in the industry: There are no small roles, only small roles.
Actor. Just for this reason, he is not a good actor.
But there is no way, people will always have their likes and dislikes. What's more, now that he is already qualified to pick and choose, he simply does it as he pleases.
As for the crime investigation drama, because the character Liu Huaqiang played by He Xin in "Conquest" is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, almost all the people who come to see him are the villain, playing the role of a gangster.
He Xin was very helpless about this. This was completely a labeling rhythm! If he had just entered this circle, he would have been secretly happy. After all, he was famous all over the world with his one trick. For example, some actors in later generations were silly and sweet.
, preaching elites and other images, although their roles are very simple, it does not prevent them from rising in popularity and making a lot of money.
Now that he has no worries about food and clothing, he finally has some small pursuits and always wants to try some different types of roles. And he also knows in his heart that if he plays the image of a gangster again, even if the quality of the script and the level of the director are ignored, it may be difficult.
Reaching the level of "Conquest". In my mind, King Yan is a ready-made example. It wasn't until "Latent" became popular a few years later that he finally took off the Liu Huaqiang trademark.
Although "I'm Not a Hero" is also a crime investigation drama, it gave him the opportunity to play the role of a policeman that he had been looking forward to for a long time. The quality of the script was also quite good. What he wanted to play was not a policeman who was upright and upright on the traditional screen.
image, but a more realistic and civilian policeman.
At the same time, the storyline does not start from a crime scene or a fight between police and criminals as in the traditional screen. It is based on criminal psychology and focuses on the psychological confrontation between police and criminals, so there is a lot of room for performance.
"Director Guo, when will our drama start shooting?" He Xin asked.
Since he has made an appointment to talk, it means that the other party is interested in this drama. However, when Guo Jingyu heard He Xin say "our drama", his eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "If everything goes well, in November
It should be fine to boot up."
"..."
November? It’s only the beginning of June, and there’s still almost half a year left to cut!
Seeing that he paused for a moment, Guo Jingyu's heart skipped a beat and asked tentatively: "What, the schedule is not suitable?"
"Uh, it's suitable. The schedule is no problem."
"That's good if the schedule is OK."
Guo Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief. He simply saw that the matter was finalized, so he stood up and said goodbye: "Okay, then I will ask the producer to contact Sister Hong directly?"
"Haha, no problem."
Directors and actors both belong to the category of artists, so there will naturally be dedicated people in charge of those matters where bargaining is not up to par.
When He Xin was about to send Guo Jingyu out, he suddenly remembered and said hurriedly: "Oh, by the way, Director Guo, you'd better contact a public security agency for me before starting the machine. I want to experience life."
"ah?"
Guo Jingyu was stunned at first. To be honest, there are not many actors these days who want to experience life before acting.
Of course, there are also drama lunatics who really take the drama to their heart. For example, an actor named Fu Dalong auditioned for "Purple Sun", the last film in the "War and Peace" trilogy directed by Feng Xiaoning, because of Feng Xiaoning.
The director thought his skin color was too fair and he didn't look like a farmer.
As a result, without saying anything, they immediately went to the countryside to work in the fields, planting rice and planting rice. They did everything. Their basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation were no different from those of local farmers.
Two months later, when Director Feng saw him again, he almost didn't recognize him and decided on the spot: "You have to be the male lead!"
It’s just that Fudalong was still unknown at that time.
Guo Jingyu didn't expect that a popular spicy chicken like He Xin would actually make such a request. He immediately said happily: "No problem, I will have someone help you arrange it before starting the machine. How long will it take you?"
The producer of the drama "I Am Not a Hero" is the producer of the "Chinese Divorce" filmed before the New Year, Beijing Jindun Xintong Film and Television Culture Company. Everyone should know the word "Jindun", whatever.
It doesn’t matter which police station you go to to experience life.
"Ten days and a half." He Xin said thoughtfully, "I mainly want to observe the police's daily work and life up close. After all, I am still relatively new to this profession."
After saying that, he smiled again and said: "I don't know anything, so I dare to go up and act. I don't have such courage!"
"Then we will arrange a criminal police team that is the same as the work unit of the characters in the play?"
"Of course this is the best!"
He Xin chatted and laughed with Guo Jingyu all the way to the elevator. When he came back, he asked the front desk: "Where's Sister Hong?"
This morning he came to the company to meet with Guo Jingyu, but Chang Jihong only showed up to introduce the two of them. After the conversation was over, she was nowhere to be seen.
The girl at the front desk hurriedly said: "Mr. Chang answered the phone and went out, but Mr. Chang said that you should wait for her for a while, and she will be back before noon."
Now Sister Hong has developed in-depth cooperation with Hairun. Even the name of her small company has changed to Hairun Qianyi. Some time ago, the company recruited several new employees. For example, this new front desk girl
, this was the first time I saw the legendary "Brother Qiang". When talking to He Xin, he actually looked very nervous.
As for the former receptionist, it is said that he has now become Li Xiaoran's exclusive agent, and it seems that he will be promoted and reused.
He Xin and Shanchao smiled and nodded to the girl at the front desk. Just as they were about to walk back to Sister Hong's office, they heard a sound of wind chimes at the door. Before he could turn around, he heard someone laughing and saying: "Hey, our big star is back.
, it’s really rare!”
"I really can't bear to talk about it."
He Xin muttered secretly in his heart and turned around with a smile.
Li Xiaoran looked like he was in a hurry. Before anyone arrived, a gust of fragrant wind hit his face. The girl at the front desk was now dressed like a white-collar beauty and was waiting around. However, when he saw He Xin, he didn't dare to show off and hurriedly shouted
He said: "New brother!"
He Xin nodded towards her, moved his eyes to Li Xiaoran's proud face, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoran, congratulations, you are about to become an international star!"
Li Xiaoran pretended to be shy and said: "No way, I haven't even written the horoscope yet, don't talk nonsense!"
Chang Jihong and He Xin's trip to Cannes this time was not without success. After learning that Shu Qi, the original heroine of Dai Sijie's new film "The Botanist's Daughter", had resigned due to schedule reasons, she made a special trip.
I went to Paris, met with Dai Sijie, and recommended his own Li Xiaoran to Director Dai.
Although Dai Sijie did not finalize it on the spot, when He Xin went to visit later, he heard from Director Dai that he was generally satisfied with Li Xiaoran, so he would fly over to see him in a while. If nothing else, Li Xiaoran was already
She is the heroine of his new film.
The quality of Dai Sijie's new film is obviously much higher than that of the previous film "The Little Seamstress". The producer is the famous Luc Besson, and it is said that after Luc Besson read the script, he
The film received high praise, calling it the female version of "Brokeback Mountain."
If the effect of this film is really like "Brokeback Mountain", not only will Dai Sijie be as famous as Li Yu, but the heroine in the film will undoubtedly become an international movie star and become the second Zhang Ziyi.
No wonder Li Xiaoran is so happy today. It's just that when He Xin was in Paris, he had read the script of "The Botanist's Daughter". I have to say that he almost had a physical reaction when he read it. That scale was not
The problem is a little bigger, but a huge one. It can definitely be regarded as a Category III film. No wonder the relevant departments never agreed to this co-production project. Even He Xin asked Dai Sijie to have a guest role in it, and so far,
They were all still hesitant.
But at this time, he couldn't help but ask: "Sister Xiaoran, have you read the script?"
Li Xiaoran immediately blushed. This time he was really shy. He answered unexpectedly and asked: "I heard that you are going to have a guest role in it?"
He Xin laughed and said: "Director Dai asked me to play the role of brother. We are love rivals."
"Tch, even if we are love rivals, I am still the winner."
Hearing that He Xin was also going to make a guest appearance, Li Xiaoran's expression finally returned to normal, and she no longer tried to hide it. She clearly regarded herself as the heroine in the play. She raised her slender and white neck like a white swan and looked up.
He said with a proud face.
He Xin's eyes couldn't help but wander around her body at this time, recalling the alluring plots described in the script, Li Xiaoran's white and glowing complexion, her crotch, her fierceness, and her straight long legs.
She is definitely much better than the original heroine Shu Qi. You must know that whether in his previous life or in this life, he has studied Teacher Shu Qi's classic masterpiece - "Jade Futon: Jade Girl Heart Sutra" very seriously.
But when Li Xiaoran noticed that this guy was staring at his body with his thief eyes, he couldn't help but have two red clouds on his face, and at the same time gave him a fierce look.
Chang Jihong, who had just walked in at this time, happened to see this scene and said with a smile: "What are you two doing? It's like cockfighting!"
He Xin smiled and said: "It's okay, I was joking with Sister Xiaoran."
As he spoke, he also winked at Li Xiaoran.
An angry Li Xiaoran stamped her feet and said coquettishly towards Chang Jihong: "Sister Hong, look at him, he is getting smaller and smaller now!"
"That's right! Okay, I'll teach him a lesson in a while. Xiaoran, just wait for a while!"
"Humph, I knew it. Just protect him, just like your son."
"Okay, Xiaohe and I are still on business."
He Xin followed Sister Hong into the office.
"How was your conversation with Director Guo just now?"
"Very good, he said that the producer will contact you later." He Xin sat on the sofa and said.
"What about the price?"
"It's up to you. Anyway, I like the script, but it's a little late to start the movie."
Chang Jihong understood, and then asked: "When will it be turned on?"
"November at the earliest."
"What about the time in between?"
"I want to take a break and go back to school for a few days of classes after the start of next semester. Otherwise, it really won't make sense."
"Well, just take a rest," Sister Hong said thoughtfully.
Counting the days, He Xin has been busy for more than half a year from the launch of "Chinese Divorce" last year to now. This period can be said to be the most intense period of work for him since he entered the industry. It is understandable to take a break.
"Then I'll make an appointment with the factory later and shoot the commercial first," Sister Hong said again.
"It's done."
He had already read the script of the winery's advertisement, which was basically similar to the earliest Lao Baigan advertisement he remembered, except that the protagonist in it was changed from King Yan to him.
However, even though he stole Yan Wang's famous work "Conquer", Yan Wang can still mix in the industry. In the past two days after returning to the capital, he was watching the rerun of the TV series "Army" starring Yan Wang and Chen Xiaoyi on Beijing Channel.
"Singing Loudly".
Although this drama was not as popular as "The Burning Years" of the same type, but after watching a few episodes, he got a taste of it. Compared with Shi Guangrong, who only roars loudly at home, Gao Dashan's kind of
The secret accommodation of his wife who was born in the countryside and was almost careless, and the love that she would rather drink water by herself and send her lunch home during the Great Famine broadcast last night, gave him a taste of "Parental Love"
.
I have to say that Yan Wang's acting skills are still very good, and the title of "Xiao Jiang Wen" is definitely not wasted.
"One more thing, I just went to Hairun. "Jade Guanyin" was aired on Beijing Channel during this period with high ratings and good momentum. The company wants to strike while the iron is hot and arrange an interview with you and Lili in the last issue
The program. The program has been selected, it is "Super Interview" currently being broadcast on Beijing Channel 5. You don't have any objections, do you?"
In view of He Xin's somewhat varied personality, Sister Hong finally asked with some worry.
"No, no objection." He Xin said hurriedly.
In fact, every performance contract he signs has a clause on it: actors are obliged to cooperate with promotional activities.
"Jade Goddess of Mercy" premiered on Beijing Channel at the end of May. There had been several promotional events before, but no one else in France had participated. It would be even more unjustifiable if we refused this time.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that He Xin has participated in a talk show. The "Super Interview" that Chang Jihong just mentioned, He Xin used to love watching, and it is similar to the popular talk show "Super Interview" from Later World.
"Kangxi is Coming" is somewhat similar.
However, "The Coming of Kangxi" had not yet been born at this time, while "Super Interview" had been aired for more than three years.
Moreover, "Super Interview" is a very popular and long-lived interview program. In He Xin's memory, it seems that this program survived for fifteen or sixteen years before it was discontinued.
Compared with "Jing Distance" or "Very Jing Distance" hosted by Li Jing alone in later generations, he prefers "Super Interview" with Dai Jun's gags.
"Do you have a script?" He Xin asked again.
"Oh, yes!"
Sister Hong was obviously a little surprised, but considering that his girlfriend Cheng Hao had appeared on several talk shows during this period, it was not surprising that He Xin was so experienced.
He Xin flipped through the script that Sister Hong took out from her bag. Although the guests were him and Sun Li, the topic mainly revolved around him. After all, he is the Golden Horse Best Actor, and he has recently become popular with "Conquer".
And I just came back from Cannes, and I have an equally hot girlfriend, so it can be said that the topic is super rich.
Obviously, "Super Interview" was carefully prepared in advance. Even his family situation and his experience as a migrant worker before his debut were clearly investigated.
"Sister Hong, don't mention the past."
He Xin read it from beginning to end. As long as he entered the industry, he didn't care. He had nothing to do with people. But when it came to the death of his parents and the tragic experience of being a migrant worker, he thought about it.
Maybe it was because he had watched too many sensational scenes in various variety shows in his previous life, so he subconsciously felt conflicted and disgusted.
Chang Jihong thought it touched on his sad past. In fact, from the perspective of an agent, He Xin's experience here is very hype-worthy. From an orphan to a star, from a migrant worker to a movie king, this is an extremely inspiring journey.
process, it is easy to gain sympathy and favor from movie fans.
But seeing He Xin's frowning look at this moment, she couldn't bear it. She nodded hesitantly and said, "Okay, I won't mention it if I don't mention it."
