After joking for a while, Li Mengnan suddenly said: "Xiao He, I heard that you have found a girlfriend?"
"ah?"
He Xin was stunned for a moment and said with a guilty conscience: "It's nothing."
"Nothing? Then why did you rush to see her in the middle of the night when you heard that she was sick? My dear, how far is it from Beijing to Suzhou?" Li Mengnan said with a sly smile.
When Hao Rong heard this, he also cheered: "Xiao He, yes, then she must be a fairy!"
He Xin did not expect that the news would spread so quickly, and it would reach Li Mengnan's ears within a few days.
"Just a classmate, not even a girlfriend."
"Classmate? From the advanced training class?" Hao Rong perked up and asked hurriedly.
"No, it's... she's a girl who is a senior in the school." He Xin said vaguely.
"Well, could it be Cheng?" Hao Rong thought for a while and said clearly.
He Xin didn't say anything, but glanced at him sheepishly, looking very guilty.
Hao Rong smiled and said, "I've seen you two together several times in school." As he said that, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, this girl is really good, Xiao He, you have a very good taste."
What a thief!"
"Hey, so Xiao He's girlfriend is also your student?" Li Mengnan asked.
"Well, I taught them acting classes for two years."
Hao Rong glanced at He Xin intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "This girl is incredible. Not only is she an outstanding class cadre in school, but her academic performance is also excellent. You know, this time they are interning in their senior year and can enter the arts
She is the only one."
"Human Art?"
Now Li Mengnan was shocked. Although the Experimental Theater he worked for had a Chinese prefix, but the leading theater art palace in the country had to be the Beijing People's Art Theatre.
"Renyi hasn't hired anyone for several years, right?"
I remember when they graduated, some went to Youth Art, some went to Experimental Theater, and some stayed in school. The People's Art didn't want anyone, and everyone felt very sorry.
"Yes, this girl may be the first graduate of our Central Academy of Drama in the past few years who can enter the arts." Hao Rong couldn't help but sigh.
Then he asked He Xin: "Hey, Xiao He, do you know about this?"
"She just said that she would go to an internship in the arts next semester."
Fortunately, this matter was mentioned to him on the phone. He Xin didn't pay attention at first. It was just an internship, but now seeing the solemn expressions on Hao Rong and Li Mengnan's faces, he felt that this matter seemed really remarkable.
However, Hao Rong's frequent glances made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was not worthy of Cheng Hao.
Li Mengnan seemed to have noticed something. He changed the topic and asked He Xindao: "Xiao He, when will you leave for Berlin this time?"
"It's initially scheduled for the 5th, but the details still have to be determined. I haven't gotten my passport yet, and I don't know if I can go this time." He Xin said worriedly.
Although the receipt for collecting the passport said January 20th, until he actually got it, He Xin really couldn't overestimate the integrity of the office in his hometown and He Dazhu.
"You said you could handle this! I would like to go, but they won't take me."
Li Mengnan tapped him with her chopsticks, and sighed with regret and confusion at the same time: "I originally thought I could see myself on the big screen, but why did it come to nothing now?"
Last week, the Berlin International Film Festival announced the 22 films shortlisted for the main competition unit. "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" was among them. It was also one of the only two Chinese-language films shortlisted. The other one was "Wanwan director Lin Zhengsheng".
Love you love me".
The films shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival are still dominated by European and Hollywood films, with four Asian films shortlisted. In addition to two Chinese-language films, there are also "Dog God" by RB director Masato Harada and "Joint Security Area" by Korean director Park Chan-wook.
However, as soon as the shortlist was announced, Wang Xiaoshuai’s long-awaited review result finally came out: participating in foreign film festivals without permission will be banned!
This means that "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" has lost the qualification to be released in China.
When this topic was mentioned, He Xin and Li Mengnan were both very depressed.
"In any case, it is illegal to participate in the film festival without the approval of the relevant departments."
As a reserve cadre trained by China National Theater, Hao Rong's political consciousness is much higher than these two guys. He picked up the wine glass and advised: "Come on, come on, don't think about it, drink and drink."
The three of them had a drink. Li Mengnan put down his glass and asked He Xindao: "Xiao He, are you okay after the New Year?"
"It's okay, what's wrong, brother?"
"Someone gave me a script some time ago. It was a TV series and I was asked to play the role of a policeman. I didn't have time..."
He Xin was immediately excited when he heard this: "You mean you want me to play this policeman?"
He has longed for the profession of policeman since he was a child. Regardless of whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is always very enjoyable to play a policeman. Moreover, after the Chinese New Year, he is completely fine and is still wondering whether he will have to return to his job after graduating from the advanced training class.
Send express.
"You're the only one who wants to play the role of a policeman? What a wonderful idea!"
Li Mengnan rolled her eyes at him and continued: "This is a police movie. The script is good and there are quite a lot of characters in it. If you have nothing to do after the New Year, I will recommend it to you, but I will tell you the ugly things first. The money may not be enough.
It would be too much.”
"No problem, as long as I have a job. Thank you, brother!" He Xin nodded quickly without thinking.
Hao Rong looked at He Xin, who looked delighted, and said slowly and rationally: "Xiao He, you can't do this. If you really plan to eat this meal, you have to find an agent."
"broker?"
This He Xin understands that actors and stars in later generations are surrounded by agents and a lot of assistants. Not to mention the future, even now, Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Xun have agents.
It's not that he hasn't thought about it before, but he always feels that he hasn't reached that level yet, not to mention that the agent has to divide the money. With his current income, if he divides it again, he won't have much left.
"How much does it cost to find an agent?" This was the first question that came to his mind.
Hao Rong shook the chopsticks in his hand and said: "Don't worry about how much money they want to share with you. If you don't have a job, they can help you find a job, and they can also help you negotiate the price. Like you now, you have to rely on friends to recommend you for a job.
I'm telling you, you won't get anywhere."
"Since you said so, please introduce one to Xiao He." Li Mengnan joked.
Hao Rong glanced at He Xin and said neutrally: "Then you have to ask Xiao He if he is willing."
Seeing that He Xin was still thinking, Li Mengnan said hurriedly: "Xiao He, I think what Lao Hao said is right. If you really want to develop well in this industry, you really need to find a reliable agent. Today I will talk to you
Just put your words here. Brother, my ability is limited. I can only introduce you to a soy sauce role. And after this time, I don’t know when the next time will be. Also, think about it, your girlfriend will be in the future.
If you go to humanities and arts, if you are still like this, the gap will inevitably be too big, which is inappropriate!"
This guy was very outspoken and made Hao Rong's subtext clear.
He Xin was shocked. He only thought about money. And although everyone was making noise between him and Cheng Hao, he knew in his heart that the relationship between the two had not reached that level after all. In the final analysis, it was still the inferiority complex in his heart.
To cause trouble, I always feel that I am not worthy of others.
"Teacher Hao, do you have a suitable one?" He gritted his teeth and said sincerely.
"Yes, yes, you have to be reliable." Li Mengnan also chimed in.
Hao Rong then coughed lightly and said, "I do know such a person. But this kind of thing is a two-way choice. I don't know if he is willing."
"Who?" Li Mengnan asked hurriedly.
"Chang Jihong."
"Oh, you're talking about Jiang Wenli's manager, Sister Chang?"
Hearing this name, Li Mengnan was immediately unsure. There was no other reason. Now that Jiang Wenli is popular, can such an agent He Xin get him?
"Is this possible?" He Xin said with the same lack of confidence.
Although this was the first time he heard the name Chang Jihong, he already knew Jiang Wenli.
"Actually, I'm not sure, but I can still ask for you." Hao Rong said in a habitual official tone.
Not to mention, he really regarded He Xin as his little brother, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to raise this topic today. In fact, it would be thankless to do this kind of thing badly.
"Old Hao, I don't like hearing what you say."
Li Mengnan habitually argued with Hao Rong and said, "What if we, Xiao He, become the Best Actor or something in Berlin, we won't be able to get someone to come to our door."
Hao Rong was also happy, picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, let's congratulate Xiao He in advance for being crowned Best Actor in Berlin today, cheers!"
Berlin actor!
He Xin probably wouldn't even dare to dream. No Chinese actor has ever been able to win this honor.
However, his heart was still filled with gratitude towards the two people in front of him.
