Chapter two hundred and forty seventh first arrived at the estuary
Along the way, He Xin only remembered having lunch in the stone forest and having dinner in Mengzi. Then darkness fell, and the two cars meandered forward in the heavy rain and dense lightning until they finally reached their destination at midnight.
As soon as I got off the bus, I was greeted by a heat wave. I felt like I was back in the scorching hot Shanghai, which was completely different from the cool Kunming in the morning.
"Xiaohe?"
Director Lu Yue, who was still awake, went downstairs to greet him personally. When he saw the dark and thin He Xin, he was stunned for a moment.
It's funny. When he first got the script, He Xin always wanted to talk to the director. Later, because Lu Yue had been scouting locations in Yunnan, he never met him. Later, although Lu Yue returned to the capital, he was busy with other projects.
The casting of the role, and He Xin had already accepted the role at this time, so he didn't meet up. Today's meeting was actually the second meeting between the two since the last meal that Gu Changwei arranged.
"Oh, director!" After more than ten hours of turbulence, he was not even in the mood to be polite now, and reluctantly grinned at Lu Yue.
Even if he occupies a luxurious business car all by himself, let alone those people who got off the Jinbei van, all of them are weak.
"Well, not bad!" Lu Yue patted his arm with a look of relief and said, "The rooms are ready for you. Go upstairs and have a rest. If you have any questions, we can talk tomorrow."
Fortunately, he still remembered that He Xin wanted to talk to him about this matter.
Originally knowing that he would be filming in a small county on the border of Yunnan, He Xin was mentally prepared for the difficult conditions. However, he did not expect that the conditions of the Oriental Hotel where the crew stayed were quite good, and the crew arranged for him to have a room with a
Suite with small living room.
However, he didn't want to appreciate it, so he simply took a shower and fell asleep.
On the other hand, Fang Fang Bing and his agent Du Peihong, who arrived at the same time as him, were whispering in the room at this time. Compared with He Xin's suite, the two of them stayed in an ordinary standard room, and it was a two-person room.
"I just asked about it. The crew has equipped He Xin and Shu Qi with a special business car each, and each of them has a suite. Look at us! Why? You are obviously one of the leading actors.
First, there is no such bully. No, I will go to Liu Jing tomorrow and ask them to give you the same treatment as He Xin and Shu Qi." Du Peihong said angrily.
"Brother Du, I think it's better to forget it and don't worry about it." Although Fang Fang Bing felt a little uncomfortable, he still said hesitantly.
Indeed, the accommodation conditions like today are still good in his opinion, at least much better than when he was filming "Jade Guanyin". Moreover, he didn't have an agent at the time, so he still shared a standard room with others and sometimes changed scenes.
With limited conditions, he even slept in Datongbu.
It’s just that Du Peihong kept chattering in his ear today, as the saying goes: Don’t worry if you don’t have too many to get too many. Gradually, he also felt that he had been unfairly treated. For example, on the way here, he had a sore back from bumping in the van.
Yes, when I looked back at the Odyssey following behind me, I felt a little bit complaining about He Xin's unkindness. At the same time, I was even more dissatisfied with the crew's differential treatment.
"Bingzi, you are too honest. Don't forget that you are also one of the male protagonists. You must fight for the treatment you deserve, otherwise others will think you are easy to bully and will not take you seriously. This matter
Just leave it to me, that's what our agents do, you just have to perform well."
"Brother Du, isn't this bad?" Fang Fangbing said still hesitantly.
In fact, he is also self-aware. After all, Shu Qi is a big star in Hong Kong, and although He Xin is his younger brother, they are much more popular than him after all, and their works and awards are far more than him. How can he compare with them?
What's more, he really cherishes this opportunity. After all, this is a movie directed by Lu Yue, and he is one of the leading actors. He would never have dared to think about such a thing before.
"Bingzi, you don't understand this."
Du Peihong showed a strange smile and said: "They looked at so many actors before, why did they choose you? Isn't it because of your ability? Yes, I also know that this opportunity is very important to you. But that's why
, we must fight for what we should fight for. Before signing the contract, we were begging them, but now that the production is about to start, it is time for them to turn around and beg us. Besides, our demands are not excessive, they are just demands.
The protagonist deserves treatment."
"What if the crew doesn't agree?" Fang Fang Bing asked worriedly.
"I won't disagree. What if you lose your temper and stop acting? What will they do? You know, the loss to the crew if they stop working for a day is huge. They can calculate the cost!" Du Peihong said with a proud look on her face.
Upon hearing this, the soldier from the house hurriedly said: "This won't work. Wouldn't it make us break up with the crew? Besides, I won't stop acting."
"Haha, Bingzi, don't worry. Generally speaking, you won't get to this point. Don't worry, I have experience." After saying that, Du Peihong pondered again: "But it's too early to mention this matter to the crew.
The timing is not good either, so you have to endure it for two days, and after you have filmed a few scenes after filming starts, I will bring it up with them."
Seeing his agent's confident look, Fang Fang Bing was still a little nervous. He knew in his heart that Du Peihong was completely thinking about himself. He was fighting not only for his salary, but also for his role in the crew.
status and voice.
Does he want these?
Of course I want it!
In the past few years after graduation, he has been working diligently and acting, but there are still few opportunities. His girlfriend and he are classmates in college, and they have been together for almost eight years, but they just can’t afford a house.
, the two of them still rent a small house with only a dozen square meters.
At this time, he wanted to be famous more than ever, and he wanted to make a lot of money, buy a house, and give his girlfriend a decent wedding.
Therefore, although he felt that his agent's actions were somewhat contrary to his usual principles of life, he could not say anything against it at this time.
In her ears, she could still hear her manager murmuring: "No one is born a big star. In his early years, Shu Qi was still filming third-level films! Not to mention He Xin, if he hadn't met Wang Xiaoshuai, I'm afraid this
I'm still delivering express delivery on the streets of Beijing! Bingzi, if you have this ability, it's just that you didn't meet the right opportunity before. Now that the opportunity has come, you must seize it..."
Finally, the house soldier sighed secretly and closed his eyes.
…
Although it was almost one o'clock in the morning when he went to bed, He Xin's biological clock still woke up on time at six o'clock. Five hours of high-quality sleep was enough for him to recover from the fatigue of yesterday's journey.
Opening the curtains, the dazzling sunlight suddenly came in. He Xin's eyes narrowed for a while before he could adjust. The sun always rises early in tropical summer, and this was a rare sunny day in the rainy season.
Only then did he realize that there was a wide river in front of the hotel, and there was a city on the other side of the river. Before he came, he had checked the map and knew that the river in front of him should be the Red River, and the city opposite should be Vietnam.
The old street of the provincial capital.
He Xin was very curious. Although he had been abroad several times, this was the first time he came to this small county in the southwest border, and it was the first time he was so close to the national border.
He ran into the bathroom to wash up and put on his clothes. This time he was going to Shanghai. His girlfriend specially bought him summer sportswear with a matching brand name and breathable running shoes. He went downstairs for a run and experienced this small county for himself.
.
The county town is not big, but it is different from the backward and dilapidated small towns he has seen along the way. On the contrary, it is still a prosperous scene. The shops along the Red River have opened early, and there is a wide variety of products.
There is a bridge over the river. Although there are border inspections on both sides of the bridge, there is still an endless stream of vehicles and pedestrians on the bridge. It is hard to imagine that a fierce war broke out here for more than 20 years, and the two sides once killed you and me.
It's just that He Xin couldn't run anymore after running for a long time.
Otherwise, it’s too hot!
The sun here rises especially early. It's only after six o'clock, and it's already hanging in the air and scorching the earth. Moreover, the water vapor collected from last night's heavy rain makes people feel even hotter. Running not only
I was sweating profusely and still a little out of breath.
He could only walk back slowly along the shade of the trees along the river bank. There were not only shops on the street, but also many stalls for breakfast and snacks, including Yunnan's famous rice noodles. But there was a rice roll similar to Cantonese morning tea that attracted him.
Although the local dialect is difficult to understand, most people here can understand Mandarin. This rice roll-like thing is called Vietnamese roll rice roll, which is roughly the same as rice roll rice roll. The fillings inside are far less rich than Cantonese roll rice roll, which is chopped green onion.
It is stuffed with pork, but the dipping sauce is very special. It is made of local spicy millet, soy sauce, vinegar and coriander and lemon. Savor it carefully, it is delicious and smooth.
Because he knew that filming in this kind of environment requires a certain amount of physical strength, so in the two days before coming here, he began to gradually relax some of his diet. Under the premise of ensuring that his weight did not rebound, he tried to eat as much as possible to maintain enough weight.
physical strength.
After having a delicious breakfast with local characteristics, he returned to the hotel with a relaxed gait.
"Hey, are you Mr. He Xin?"
When He Xin had just stepped onto the steps in front of the hotel and was about to open the door and go in to enjoy the cool air-conditioning, he heard a strange Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent coming from the side.
