The crew of "The Promise", which is said to have an investment of 200 million, is really huge. It is really an eye-opener for He Xin, who has been tossing around in low-budget art films before.
For example, in the filming scenes, Director Chen followed his usual generous approach. For example, he spent huge sums of money to build the main set of the film, Wangcheng, in Hengdian. In addition, scenes in Beijing Film Studio, Shangri-La and other places were also constructed at the same time.
Originally, "The Promise" was scheduled to be officially launched in Hengdian on March 1st. However, due to the delay in the construction of the Hengdian Royal City, Director Chen lost his temper and had to announce that the launch would be postponed for half a month. At the same time, after the launch,
First shoot the scenes in the studio of Beijing Film Studio.
This sudden change created a problem for He Xin. As a major costar in this film, most of his scenes were concentrated in the Beijing Film Studio studio and Shangri-La, and there were not many scenes in Hengdian Wangcheng.
As a result, the filming was postponed to March 15th, and his filming tasks suddenly became very heavy. Because the snow country scenes set up in the studio of Beijing Film Studio were mainly scenes with him, Xie Biwang and Zhang Dongjian.
What's more important is that "Beauty Grass" starring him and Shu Qi will be released on March 24. According to the original plan, during the more than a month of filming in Hengdian City, his filming task was very easy, and
It will not affect the publicity for the release of "Beauty Grass", but now there is a serious conflict between the two.
According to the publicity process previously formulated with Bona, He Xin will be responsible for the publicity tasks in the major ticket offices of Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an, and will also have to attend local premieres. The publicity in the south, such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen, will be handled by Shu Qi
Responsible.
But now the problem has arisen. As for how to coordinate, it is natural for his manager Sister Hong to coordinate with the crew. As for Director Chen, his main energy is concentrated on the filming and artistic creation of the film. All such tedious matters are left to Chen.
The lady is in charge.
At the same time, "The Promise", as an Asian blockbuster, has also learned from the usual practices of European and American commercial films in terms of commercial operations, such as shooting documentaries at the same time.
Although the film has not yet started shooting, preliminary preparations have begun to include footage from the documentary at the same time.
Today, when He Xin and Director Chen were discussing the script and characters, a staff member was filming nearby with a machine.
"...The character of Ghost Wolf is distinct and complex in his heart. The reason why he designed such an exaggerated, stage-like appearance is to form a strong contrast with his character, and to give him this
The character’s special temperament!”
Director Chen's speaking tone is ups and downs, often accompanied by rich body movements. When he is enjoying himself, he will often act like a great man, stretching out his big hand as if smoothing a wave of wrinkles, and wave slowly and forcefully in front of him,
Very stylish!
"Maybe you will think that Ghost Wolf is a tragic figure, but I say he is not. Although he has the dramatic elements of a tragic figure, on a deeper level, he is the ending of a comedy. He truly transcends his one-sided view of life.
Timid and cowardly, he gained inner compensation and happiness. When he took off the prison clothes that sustained his life but imprisoned his soul and freedom, he instantly turned into a dazzling fluorescent light, sparkling! Although his body left
The world, but he kept the most timely regrets. He finally realized that some things are far more important than the simple life of losing himself! So, while I was sad for him to leave, I also felt sad for him to leave.
Watching his soul fly to the beautiful heaven with a happy smile..."
Director Chen's words are always very literary, and he seems to demonstrate his profound literary skills at all times. For a poor student with a poor foundation, these are often difficult to understand.
Especially when I saw him finishing a long speech, leaning his burly body against the back of the sofa, putting his hands on the armrests, saying "I'm very optimistic about you" and "You can play this role, I think you should."
When He Xin looked at himself with an expression like "I'm honored", He Xin was really speechless.
He admitted that the other party had a profound literary foundation and a unique and personal point of view in aesthetics. However, after receiving the script, he had already read it several times. Although the character of Ghost Wolf was more focused than the other main characters.
The inner drama is very rich and there is a lot of room for performance.
However, in his opinion, compared to Lan Yu in "Lan Yu" and Situ in "Purple Butterfly", the conflicting and intense characters are still slightly inferior. He even feels that he doesn't even have to resort to "no food, no food".
"Sleep" is the trump card, and he is sure to play this role well.
But there was a machine filming the scene, so he could only pretend to be asking for advice and being convinced. In fact, it was a documentary for the same period, and most of the time it was a performance. After all, it was for the promotion of future movies.
, there should never be any negative things.
He Xin was humbly asking for advice at the moment, but his cell phone vibrated in his trouser pocket. He was not very good at answering the phone because he was in high spirits as Director Chen said.
After several contacts, he also saw that this man, although he always looked like a courteous corporal, was actually very aloof at heart. He was probably the kind of person who would treat him as a master when others respectfully called him.
However, perhaps due to his family background or his own cultivation, what he showed was not like the nouveau riche style of a certain duo actor in the Northeast in later generations. On the contrary, he was always polite and polite. It cannot be said to be hypocritical, at least.
There is always a trace of sincerity in his eyes, but this sincerity is a condescending sincerity, a sincerity that needs to be looked up to, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
When the phone started vibrating at first, he didn't take it seriously. When filming, he would usually adjust the vibrate or mute the phone and wait for a break to take a look and dial it back.
Moreover, his phone number is not widely circulated. Even among his friends and some collaborators at work, everyone knows about this habit of his. Generally, if no one answers, they will know that he is working at the moment and stop disturbing him.
, and then call back after he is done.
But today was different. His phone kept ringing three times. He guessed that something was urgent. He finally waited until the long speech was over. While the master was drinking tea, he hurriedly said: "Director, can I answer the phone first?"
"Oh, it's okay, you're busy!" The master put down the tea cup, raised his buttocks, and said politely as usual.
He Xin smiled apologetically at him, and at the same time said hello to several buddies who were filming the documentary, and hurriedly walked out the door. Just when he took out his mobile phone to watch, he happened to bump into Chen Hong, who was walking over and about to enter.
"Sister Hong!" He Xingeng greeted her as usual.
Uncharacteristically, Chen Hong stared at him for a long time before pouting and smiling: "Xiao He, you have good taste!"
What’s a good vision?
He Xin was a little confused, but out of politeness he chuckled at her twice. After watching people pass by with weird smiles, he lowered his head and looked at his phone.
There were five missed calls in a row. Except for one from Sun Li, the other four were actually from Chang Jihong. Then there were two text messages, one of which was from Zhou Xun. Check it out.
"You broke up too???"
What the hell is this? Is it the wrong message?
He muttered in his heart and continued to look at the next item, but it was still from his agent Chang Ji Hongfa: "Something serious has happened, call me back quickly!"
No wonder he made four calls in a row. His heart suddenly tightened and he quickly dialed the number.
There was a ring over there and the call was connected.
"Sister Hong, what happened..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sister Hong on the other end of the phone asked, "Where did you sleep last night?"
"Sleep at home!" he said subconsciously.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. Where can I sleep if I don't sleep at my own home? No, Sister Hong, you told me something big happened. What happened?" He asked quickly.
"You ask me, what else do I want to ask you? You went to visit Sun Li yesterday, what did you two do?" It was obvious that Sister Hong on the other end of the phone was very angry.
"Nothing! Yesterday I went to take a look at their filming location. I said hello to Director Teng, Brother Yi Ming and others, and then went to a cafe with Sun Li to sit for a while, and then sent her back.
Home." He Xin said in confusion.
"What happens after that?"
"I went home after that. I didn't even dare to go back too late. Chuanchuan is still at home. What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? The photo of you and Sun Li together was secretly taken last night, and now there are scandals about you and Sun Li all over the Internet!"
"How could this happen? Isn't it?"
He Xin thought about it. There was nothing out of the ordinary between him and Sun Li yesterday. Even if they were secretly photographed, the photos should be nothing. Besides, similar things had not happened before. For example, he and Li Xiaoran were also secretly photographed last time.
, they also made up scandals about the two of them on the Internet, but he didn’t even bother to respond. It turned out to be fake at first glance.
"What's wrong? Find a computer and take a good look at it. I told you not to cause any trouble, but you... forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you. You'll know after you've seen it. Hurry up.
Yes, come over as soon as you are done with your work."
Sister Hong's tone on the phone seemed serious. After He Xin hung up the phone, he carefully recalled the scene with Sun Li yesterday. He really couldn't think of anything wrong, let alone a polite hug.
, not even the movement of holding hands.
Thinking back to when they were filming "Jade Guanyin", the two of them occasionally went out for walks in Yunnan, and Sun Li liked to hold his arms from time to time. At the beginning, he didn't think about it in any other direction, just treating her as a little sister.
It wasn't until he realized something was wrong that he avoided such slightly intimate gestures to avoid causing misunderstandings to the other party.
But he didn't bother to think too much and quickly found the computer.
Pushing open the door of an office next to her, there was a girl wearing glasses sitting inside. When she saw him coming in, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked: "Brother Xin, is something okay?"
He Xin has been in and out of Director Chen's studio quite frequently during this period, and the studio staff are quite familiar with him.
"Can your computer here have Internet access?" He Xin asked, pointing to the computer on his desk.
"Can."
The girl gave an affirmative answer and then asked: "Brother Xin, do you want to use the computer?"
"Sorry to disturb your work, I'll be there soon."
"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Xin, feel free to use it."
The girl said, used the mouse to operate the computer a few times, then gave up her seat, and deliberately walked to the back of the monitor.
He Xin smiled at her to express his gratitude, and quickly sat down to check the news on the Internet.
Director Chen's studio was all connected to broadband, which was extremely fast. He found a commonly used portal website and clicked on the entertainment channel.
As soon as the web page was displayed, several large pictures popped up on the front page, and there was a line of eye-catching headlines at the bottom: He Xin and Sun Li had a sweet date at the cafe, and they are suspected of living together, and their relationship with Cheng Hao may have changed!
"Fuck!"
When he saw this title, he got excited and subconsciously cursed. He didn't care about the surprised and gossipy look of the girl with glasses standing opposite, and quickly looked at a few pictures carefully.
In the top picture, you can tell from the background that it was secretly photographed in a cafe, but the weird thing is that the two people in the picture have their hands on the table, obviously having sex together, and more importantly, they are smiling.
, and another discerning person will know at a glance that he is acting coquettishly.
"His!"
He suddenly felt a chill running up from his tailbone and up his spine. He remembered that when they were rushing to pay the bill, Sun Li held down his hand and the wallet on the table. But
Because the lights in the cafe are relatively dim, and the flash was obviously not turned on when taking such a photo, the picture looks very hazy, and his black wallet and the black tabletop are completely integrated because of this haziness, and they look good.
It's like two people's hands holding each other intimately.
The next few photos are clearer. The two went out talking and laughing, and got in the car together. The last photo was of him saying goodbye downstairs in the apartment Sun Li rented, but because of the angle, it looked like
The two of them walked in the door together.
Only then did He Xin realize that the two of them had been followed by reporters from beginning to end yesterday, and at the same time, an inexplicable anger suddenly surged up.
Since it was tracking, the person who took the photo must have seen him deliver Sun Li to the door, turn around, get in the car, and drive away.
It's obvious that this is fake news created purely to attract attention and achieve a shocking effect.
He couldn't think too much at this time, and even forgot to thank the girl with glasses. After closing the web page, he hurriedly ran out.
"Director, I'm really sorry. There's something urgent and I have to go back quickly."
The buddies who were filming the documentary for the same period in the conference room have already left, leaving only Director Chen and his wife.
"Oh, it's okay, you're busy!"
The couple stood up together, and Director Chen made a show of moving to see each other off.
"Director, stay!"
As soon as He Xin waved his hand, he stopped being polite to Director Chen and walked away without waiting for a response.
In the conference room, the couple looked at each other with a smile.
"I didn't expect that this guy, who seems quite honest, would actually have such a skill."
Perhaps it is only when the couple are alone that Director Chen reveals his true nature.
But Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Aren't you just like you, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot!"
"Tsk, why did it get involved with me again!" Director Chen was embarrassed and unavoidably a little unhappy at the same time.
Fortunately, Mrs. Chen was very skillful in this kind of point-and-shoot, and she did not hold on to it. Instead, she took the initiative to change the subject and said: "Anyway, the news he broke now is very important to our drama.
