Cheng Hao still couldn't forget the mutton noodle shop in the morning, and the two went there for lunch. However, this lunch was a little late, almost two o'clock in the afternoon. Even He Xin was surprised. He had actually read ""
I have been reading the story "The Garden of Forking Paths" for so long that I don't even feel hungry.
Sometimes books can really be used as food.
After dinner, He Xin originally thought he would go shopping in nearby Wangfujing, but Cheng Hao took him to Xidan, saying that there were several newly opened clothing stores there with a lot of styles.
The two of them walked around and entered several stores. Cheng Hao picked and chose, and occasionally tried on clothes, but he seemed to be dissatisfied. He Xin was well prepared. His country wife had to buy some clothes back then.
Spend most of the day shopping at the wholesale market at the east gate of the county.
"What happened to the agent you talked about last time?"
Once again, I walked out of a women's clothing store empty-handed, and the two of them chatted casually.
"There's no news yet, but maybe they don't like me at all," He Xin said.
He is not in a hurry about his agent at the moment, at least he still has a job. I remember when we last had dinner, Li Mengnan and Hao Rong joked that if he could be crowned Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival, there would be many agents looking for him.
He signed a contract.
All joking aside, He Xin himself has no hope at all, but he feels that attending the Berlin Film Festival is like going out to a big city to see the world, and he will feel more confident when talking.
"What about you? Don't you want to find an agent?" He Xin then asked her.
Cheng Hao shook his head and said, "I think it's still early. Let's wait until after graduation."
After getting in touch with Cheng Hao, He Xin found that she always had clear goals and clear plans. For example, just do your internship well and don't think about other things, and she wouldn't be too ambitious.
This was another bright spot he found in Cheng Hao. In this regard, he was relatively confused, always feeling like he was just muddle along.
When two people are together, they should complement each other. In the future, the children's education, further education, etc. will definitely have to be listened to by her...
"Ah, that store in front is nice, let's go in."
Cheng Hao's voice woke him up from his daydream. He blushed and followed the girl into a clothing store.
When He Xin walked into the store, he realized that what he entered was actually a men's clothing store. Looking at the huge logo in the store, it was a famous domestic brand from his hometown in his previous life.
The clothes inside are very expensive, a suit costs at least one thousand, and the cheapest shirt costs more than one hundred and nearly two hundred. He Xin doesn't quite understand why Cheng Hao came in. Is it buying clothes for her father, or buying them as gifts?
"Congratulations!"
I saw Cheng Hao holding a blue-grey suit and saying, "Come here and try it."
"I?"
He Xin was stunned.
"Come here and try on this dress." Cheng Hao urged.
"Why, you want to help me buy clothes?" He Xin walked over and asked.
"You're going to Berlin, you have to buy some decent clothes." Cheng Hao said.
He Xin usually wears either a jacket or a down sweater, but Cheng Hao has never seen him wearing a suit.
"No, really no need."
When He Xin saw that Cheng Hao was serious, he quickly declined. He had already inquired with Wang Xiaoshuai. There are places abroad that specialize in renting formal dresses. The ordinary ones are not expensive. If you need them, you can just rent one.
"Just give it a try, why is there all this nonsense!" Cheng Hao finally showed the tough side of a Qilu woman and said with wide eyes.
Seeing this, He Xin had to take off his down sweater, revealing a red sweater underneath.
"Alas!"
Cheng Hao took one look at it and immediately said with a look of disgust on his face: "It won't show any effect if you wear it like this."
As he said that, he picked out a white shirt for him, pointed to the dressing room, and ordered: "Put them all on."
"oh."
He Xin went in with a grimace.
Originally, he thought that if Cheng Hao insisted on buying it for him, he would pay the money first, but just now he secretly glanced at the tag on the clothes and saw that the price was 1,980. If he added the shirt, it would cost more than 2,000. He felt even more uncomfortable.
It's necessary, but the girl is too strong.
When he came out of the fitting room, Cheng Hao and the waiter next to him obviously had their eyes lit up. I have to say, even though this guy is usually wrapped in a black down jacket, it looks so tacky, but at this time
Putting on this suit, it fit him perfectly, and it looked like it had grown on him. His temperament suddenly changed drastically.
Cheng Hao nodded repeatedly, "This suit is good! This suit is good! Oh, by the way, it also needs a tie."
As he spoke, he muttered: "A slate-gray suit and a white shirt should be paired with... yes, black, a black tie."
"no……"
While the waiter was getting the tie, He Xin quickly pulled her aside and whispered: "Sister, it's too expensive here and not affordable at all. Let's look at another two companies?"
Cheng Hao was still fiddling with his clothes, looking left and right, and said with satisfaction: "No, this is it. I think you are wearing it very well."
"Why……"
"Stop it, look at you like that, I gave it to you, you don't have to pay for it!"
"I mean, it's not necessary." He Xin insisted in a low voice.
"It's not necessary? Then you came all the way to Suzhou last time and took care of me for two days, and I said it's not necessary?" Cheng Hao raised his chin and said.
"Well……"
This is repaying a favor! Girl, please stop being so rational, okay? He Xin was depressed.
The suit, shirt, and tie totaled more than 2,300 yuan. When the girl swiped the card and paid, he faced the waiter's surprised look, which made him feel like he was eating soft food. So when he went out with the bag,
Still a little depressed.
"Aren't you happy?"
"No, thank you!" He Xin forced a smile.
Cheng Hao glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."
"I know……"
He Xin wanted to say a few more polite words, but noticed the slightly embarrassed expression on Cheng Hao's face, and suddenly realized that he was so stupid! This girl bought you clothes with good intentions, why are you still being pretentious?
Subconsciously blurted out: "Okay, I'm sorry, it was my fault just now!"
Hey, the nickname that was originally hidden in my heart and mobile phone was actually spoken out like this.
Cheng Hao was obviously stunned for a moment.
Her nickname is not Hao Hao. It was a nickname given to her by her classmates after she started playing in the middle school. Not only the female classmates, but also the male classmates in the class also called her that. But this time, it was the first time that it came from He Xin's mouth.
It came out, I don't know why, it just feels weird.
"Oh, let's go then." She whispered, but she was too embarrassed to look at each other.
…
Five days later, He Xin, Wang Xiaoshuai, Li Bing, Li Huatong, and Niu Le boarded a plane to Berlin. The producer representative from Wanwan, Sister Jiao Xiongpin, and the others had already gone there in advance.
It turned out that He Xin planned to just carry a bag and set off, but for the "expensive" suit, he not only bought a large suitcase to hold the clothes, but also a pair of leather shoes that cost more than 300 yuan. He bought clothes that day
When he arrived, he was too embarrassed to tell Cheng Hao that he didn't even have a pair of decent leather shoes.
From the moment he got on the plane, Wang Xiaoshuai seemed to be in an unusual state of excitement, chatting non-stop with Li Huatong and Niu Le.
In fact, it’s no wonder that although several of his previous works have won awards in Europe, and it is his second time to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, it is his first time to be shortlisted for the main competition. And he will also become the so-called “sixth generation” director in China.
, after Jiang Wen and Zhang Yuan, he is the third director to be shortlisted for the main competition section of the three major European film festivals.
He Xin and Li Bing, who were sitting in the row behind, exchanged a few words and then fell into an awkward silence. When He Xin took out the book "The Garden of Forking Paths" to read, Li Bing came over and asked him what he was reading.
Book.
He Xin showed him the cover, briefly talked about the contents of the book, and then asked him if he wanted to read it, but he shook his head like a rattle, obviously not interested in such profound foreign novels.
This made He Xin secretly sigh that the two of them really had no common language, and at the same time, a sense of vanity and superiority emerged spontaneously. Even to this day, he still has not understood what the story "The Garden of Forking Paths" is about?
