Chapter 328 Postgraduate entrance examination suggestions and gossip
"What on earth are you thinking? I've graduated several years ago, and you still want me to go to school?"
Cheng Hao was surprised. She knew that her boyfriend had always wanted her to return to the capital to develop, and he seemed to be disdainful of her boss's grand plan.
Sometimes when she thinks about it, it’s really unbelievable. You have to know that the domestic movie box office just exceeded one billion last year, but how much is the Japanese movie box office? Last year, it reached two billion US dollars, which is more than ten times that of the domestic movie box office.
, what a big market this is!
The reason why she has been hesitant is because the new company that Lao Wu wants to establish has both Japanese resources and the Japanese market. It seems to have a bright future. It is said that it will surpass Huayi in two or three years and become the largest private company in the country.
The film company is not just talking empty words, the possibility is very high.
She originally thought that her boyfriend might persuade her to sign with the same agent as him, or as mentioned last time, temporarily hang herself under the studio where he and Ning Hao collaborate. But she never expected that he would actually suggest that she go
go to school.
"Well, it's like this. Brother Hao talked to me last time and asked me what I was thinking about in the future as I was about to be a senior in college. What else could I think about, just film! But Brother Hao suggested that I continue my studies in school.
He said that he can be my master's tutor, but you think I am not a graduate student..."
The person who spoke had a frown on his face, but the eyes of those who listened were obviously bright. Before He Xin finished speaking, Cheng Hao hurriedly interrupted: "You are stupid, isn't Teacher Hao's meaning obvious? You can guarantee your postgraduate qualifications."
of."
"I know what he means. Otherwise, if I really take the exam, I won't be able to pass the test in English. But I'm really not that good at it. I was already struggling to get an undergraduate degree, let alone a master's degree.
I'm afraid I'll be laughed at if I tell you."
The frown on He Xin's face when he spoke was not an act. For someone who once only had a junior high school education, he was lucky enough to get an undergraduate degree in acting and gain a prestigious background in Chinese opera.
What a big surprise.
If he went any higher, he felt guilty, and at the same time he was worried that with his level, he might make the same mistake as Dr. Zhai in the future - pretending to be incompetent, only to be fooled!
Then he hurriedly said: "But you are different. You are a top student, and you were the only graduate of the school who was able to enter the arts. It is definitely not a problem to get a master's degree in acting. In addition,
Think about it, even if you don’t sign a contract with the new company now, the five-year contract you signed with the original company still has two years to go. I suggest you simply use this time to recharge yourself and at the same time
You can observe the development of the new company in the future. If it develops well, it won’t be too late to renew the contract then..."
The more He Xin talked about it, the more he felt that his sudden idea made sense. It was definitely a way for his girlfriend to move forward and retreat freely. Moreover, he remembered that in his previous life, he saw the last photo of the goddess on the Internet. She was standing in a flowing white dress.
Among a group of students, she felt very intellectual and charming. At that time, she seemed to be a teacher of Chinese opera.
"this……"
Cheng Hao was hesitant. She admitted that what her boyfriend said was not unreasonable. She also realized that in the past few years after graduating from school, her business ability had not improved, but had actually declined. Especially this time with Wang Zhiwen and Fan Wei.
Cooperation made her feel deeply in this aspect.
However, she was very reluctant to part with it. After all, she was famous now and was in the prime age of an actress. Did she really want to stop her career to recharge her batteries?
Competition in this industry is so fierce now that she may be forgotten by the audience in less than two years. It will be difficult to regain her momentum and make a comeback!
He Xin saw his girlfriend's thoughts and quickly continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Even if you go to school, just like when you were in school, you can still take roles! It's just that in the future we have to pay attention to quality rather than quantity. You see
You have filmed so many movies in the past few years. How many characters can really be remembered by the audience? I’m afraid it’s just the heartthrob and Ah Zi. And even if the character Ah Zi can be remembered by the audience, it will not be remembered in the audience’s mind.
I’m afraid it’s the heartthrob who plays A Zi!”
"Tch, it's such an exaggeration! Besides, my role as Yue Siying is also very popular with the audience, okay?" Cheng Hao said unconvinced.
But she had to admit in her heart that what her boyfriend said made sense. Of course she had the most say in regards to her impression in the audience's mind. Whenever she went to a commercial performance, the person who shouted the most was definitely "
Heartthrob”!
"You really need to think about this carefully. I think it's the best solution for you. By the way, Brother Hao invites us to have dinner together this weekend. You can consult us again then. Hey, you eat!"
He knew he couldn't say too much about this kind of thing, he just had to analyze the pros and cons thoroughly. His girlfriend was a very smart girl.
The sun is blazing outside, so setting up an air conditioner at home is the best option. Even Chuan Chuan, who usually likes to go out, is lying comfortably on the cold floor.
Occasionally, if you touch its head, it will turn over, with its legs in the air, revealing its white belly, looking like a fool who is at your mercy.
After breakfast, his girlfriend lay lazily on the sofa, turning the pages of the script, but she was obviously a little uneasy. She didn't turn the page for a long time. He Xin was secretly happy when he saw this, indicating that she had listened to his suggestion just now.
.
He has already had enough of these years of separation between the two places, and his greatest hope is that his girlfriend can return to him and live together.
This year may be the year with the most full schedule since he started acting. Starting with "I Am Not a Hero" at the beginning of the year, followed by "The Promise", it is estimated that his filming in the studio will still take about ten days.
.
Then they have to join the crew of "Seven Swords" non-stop. The contract they signed stipulates that the actors must undergo a month of equestrian and sword training before starting filming. In addition, there are preparatory preparations such as costume fittings and script readings.
Work.
He Xin quite appreciates Xu Ke's rigorous creative attitude. Especially the script reading. He still misses the atmosphere when the actors gathered together to read the script for the first time when filming.
Looking back now, this form was very helpful in the creation of performances.
Of course, there are directors who will take another approach. For example, when he was filming "Lan Yu" and "The Little Seamstress", the director would gather the leading actors together and talk to you about the characters in the play non-stop, instilling in you
His intention, and then everyone expresses their own opinions. In a sense, this can be regarded as a kind of script reading.
It’s just that later on, the form of script reading almost disappeared. Even directors like Director Chen who are very strict will only talk to you individually, which is far from achieving the effect of script reading.
"Seven Swords" is expected to start filming at the end of August or beginning of September, with a total of three months of filming scheduled. After filming, Wang Xiaoshuai's "I'm Nineteen" is still waiting.
This means that he spent almost all of this year busy, with four dramas, three movies and one TV series in one year. Although the two years spanned three years, it was definitely his most productive period.
I feel a little sorry when I talk about going to school, and I feel very embarrassed when I see my class teacher, Teacher Chang Li. Not to mention that I promised to participate in the rehearsal and performance of the graduation drama, and I have barely gone to school for a few days in the whole semester.
.
Fortunately, the Chinese Opera does not restrict junior and senior students from filming, and the acting department is originally designed to train actors. Others in school use self-arranged sketches to submit homework, but he relied on a movie and a TV series to complete the school's assessment.
.
In this sense, instead of delaying his studies, he actually handed in a very good assignment.
At this moment, his girlfriend was in a daze in the living room, while he was busy in the kitchen. He plucked and washed the fresh elbows he bought in the morning, tied them with cotton thread to shape, put them into a pot, added cold water, cooking wine, and Sichuan peppercorns and boiled them
Out of water.
After the water comes out, put it into a casserole, add onion knots, ginger slices and cooking wine and simmer. This should be simmered for at least an hour. Then take it out and drain the water, then fry it in a pan until the skin bubbles.
It turns brown and is then placed in ice water to cool quickly.
Soak in cold water for at least an hour until the skin of the meat becomes wrinkled, then take it out, put it in a large bowl, top with cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, then add ginger slices, cinnamon bark, bay leaves and rock sugar, add
Steam in a steamer over high heat for two hours.
Wait until the trotters are crispy and tender, then pour the soup into the pot over high heat to reduce the juice. This way, a fragrant trotters that has taken away the fat will be completed.
This dish is easy to say, but troublesome to make. It takes at least a whole day. I happen to be free these two days, my girlfriend is with me, and I also have the task of gaining weight, so I can hone my cooking skills.
Art, challenge some difficult dishes.
Sometimes he would also think that if no one asked him to act in the future, he might be able to use his cooking skills to host a food show, or guest star as a chef in a variety show like "Longing for Life"
A resident guest in charge of the arts department.
While his elbows were still wet, he washed the big beef tendon he bought, made two cuts on it, poured some white wine on it, spread it evenly, then added Sichuan peppercorns and sea salt to marinate, and put it in the refrigerator to chill.
Tomorrow you can make salted beef, which is a good accompaniment to wine and a snack for your girlfriend.
He was busy in the kitchen for a while, putting the elbows into a casserole and stewing them. Then he cut a plate of watermelon for his girlfriend. Only then did he have time to make himself a cup of tea, sit on the sofa, and read the books leisurely.
Holding a newspaper.
This year is a great year for sports. The European Cup has just concluded with the reappearance of Greek mythology, and the Athens Olympics has not yet opened. Most of the news in sports weekly newspapers is that our country's athletes are preparing for the Olympics with all their strength.
Regarding the Athens Olympics, He Xin's most profound memory was not only Liu Xiang's astonishing victory, but also Guo Jingjing wearing a corolla made of olive branches and an Olympic gold medal on her chest, standing on the championship podium, squinting her crescent eyes.
, smiling sweetly. Then when the camera panned, a fan wearing glasses was seen in the stands holding a long-lens camera like a cannon barrel, pointing it at her and taking pictures.
After a cursory glance at the sports news, he picked up today's morning newspaper. He never cared about the current affairs and social news, so he turned directly to the entertainment news section.
The headline is ""House of Flying Daggers" is a box office hit across the board, surpassing "Heroes"!"
The following is "News from this newspaper: Starting from 0:00 on July 16, "House of Flying Daggers" will be fully released in major theaters across the country. According to the statistics compiled by various theaters across the country, the box office of "House of Flying Daggers" has reached 1.55 million yuan.
, far exceeding the zero-point box office of "Hero" of 760,000 yuan that year..."
During this period of time, the entertainment section is almost full of news about "House of Flying Daggers". The world premiere was held on July 10 at the Workers' Stadium. It is said that the film company spent more than 20 million to bring the Peony Square from the movie scene to the venue.
On the stage, in addition to the three protagonists Liu Dehua, Jin Chengwu, and Zhang Ziyi, Chen Huiling, SHE, Li Zongsheng, and the Twelve Girls Band were also invited to participate in the performance.
Tickets worth hundreds to thousands of yuan were sold out early, and all the more than 6,000 seats in the venue were full. It was an unprecedented event. It was a pity that He Xin was still filming in Shangri-La at that time, otherwise he would have been so close.
I really want to join in the fun.
There were even media reports that when Zhang Ziyi was returning home from the show, she once ran through two red lights in a row in order to avoid the paparazzi who were "ambushing me from all sides". It was quite thrilling!
Hey, how come classmate Xiao Zhang was not arrested for dangerous driving?
It is said that Guoshi is indeed awesome. Before 2002, investors in domestic films could only get a maximum of 38% of the box office share. However, when "Hero" was released, Zhang Weisheng increased this ratio by 40%; and now "Ten Faces"
"Ambush" was released, Zhang Weiping increased the box office proportion of investors by another percentage point, reaching 41%.
Why is Zhang Weiping so confident? Why did the theater chain compromise?
The reason is that this is a movie about a national teacher!
You must know that this is entirely due to the national teacher's own efforts to force the entire industry to make concessions!
Don't look at Director Chen's secret attempts to break up with the National Master. If nothing else, he will never be able to compete with the National Master. The cinema can sell the National Master's account. For him, Director Chen
If you dared to make such a request, I'm afraid you would have been kicked back long ago. You might even face a full boycott from the theater chain.
"Hey, how about we go see a movie tonight?" He Xin suddenly thought.
It was said that it was a rare opportunity for him and his girlfriend to go out and watch a movie together, and he had never seen "House of Flying Daggers" in his previous life.
Cheng Haoben couldn't read the script. When he heard his boyfriend's suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly said: "Watch "House of Flying Daggers"? Okay, I don't think we should wait until tonight, let's watch it in the afternoon.
It’s okay to stay at home anyway.”
Seeing that his girlfriend was so interested, he didn't care whether he was interested or not. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then we'll go there in the afternoon."
He Xin took the newspaper and continued reading:
"Princess: I won't talk to you about feelings, I will communicate with you through music."
Well, the Queen of Heaven is mighty!
"Venice Film Festival appoints judges, Zhang Ziyi has no time and Xu Feng will be the one"
Empress Zhang is awesome!
"Zhao Zhongxiang's handwriting will be examined on IOUs, directly hitting the four major focuses of the trial"
Ouch, poor Teacher Zhao, this lawsuit is really endless.
But he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the next item.
"Fan Bingbing has ambitions to enter the music scene"
Fan Xiaopang is indeed extremely ambitious. Take a look at the following article:
In recent years, Fan Bingbing has been deeply loved by the audience for his beautiful appearance and good acting skills. However, the little beauty is well-known for her naturally good voice. Her voice is pure and bright, and she also has a good sense of music. She used to
Many friends encouraged her to develop into the music industry...
It is reported that Fan Bingbing has recorded a number of singles so far. The record company is very satisfied with her singing and other aspects of her performance. People who have listened to these singles she recorded also praise Bingbing's singing.
Youjia...
No need to ask, you can tell at a glance that it is a press release issued by paid media.
Cheng Hao saw him holding the newspaper and his face lit up with joy, and couldn't help but ask: "What interesting things did you see that made you so happy?"
The guy chuckled and said, "No, I just saw in the news that Fan Bingbing is going to release a record and has signed a contract with Time Warner. Why does this sound so weird?"
"cut!"
Cheng Hao snorted with disdain and said, "Do you think Time Warner will really sign a contract with her? She paid for it all at her own expense!"
"Hey, how do you know?"
"Of course I know, Lao Wu helped introduce this matter, and even sponsored her one million from his own pocket!" After saying that, she paused and said with a mysterious face: "This is Mr. Wang
You told me secretly."
Emphasizing the accuracy of her news!
He Xin was very interested after hearing this, and said with a gossipy face: "Do you think your boss is having an affair with this Fatty Fan?"
"How do I know this? I have never seen them together with my own eyes."
Having said that, my girlfriend's face was full of disdain.
However, her expression immediately changed, she stared at her boyfriend and sneered: "I found out why you are so interested in Fan Bingbing's affairs, and you still call Fan Xiaopang so kindly. Do you like her?"
"..."
He Xin felt guilty for a while, but fortunately he reacted quickly and immediately said with a look of humiliation: "No way, I've never even seen her! What's wrong with calling her Fan Xiaopang? Don't you think she is fat?
"
Maybe it’s because of the word “fat” that my girlfriend snorted and gave up. I don’t know that many people actually like succulents. Otherwise, how could succulents be so popular?
