"Brother, I'm not being pretentious. I really don't have time. I'm going to film "Qiao's Courtyard" in two days. This trip will take at least half a year."
"I'm not in a rush for this movie. It will start filming in August at the earliest. Isn't that great!"
"No, brother, you have to let me breathe, right?"
"Hey! I said, you are not being righteous. When you asked me to come as a guest star, I didn't say anything. As soon as "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" was finished, it was all over the place."
"Hey, brother, I won't say anything if you make a cameo here, but you are the second male lead, so I have to have time to prepare."
"Have you read the script?"
"Uh... no."
"I didn't look at it, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Hu Jun put his arms around his shoulders and said coquettishly: "Let me tell you, when Bai Bai came to me with the script, as soon as I saw the role of the security guard in it, I felt that it was tailor-made for you.
Yes. Listen to me, you don’t need to prepare for this role at all, you just need to perform the same energy as Lan Yu..."
Before he finished speaking, He Xin quickly broke away from his hand, deliberately kept a certain distance from him, and said: "Brother Jun, please don't tell me that this drama is the same as "Lan Yu"."
"What's the trick?"
Hu Jun was startled, then laughed wildly, waving his hands while laughing: "No, it's not a routine. The feeling of the character I'm talking about is very similar to Lan Yu! You'd better read the script first before talking."
As he said this, the guy pretended to be mysterious and said, "Well, just think you're doing me a favor this time and I owe you a favor."
"Well……"
Hu Jun had already said this, what else could He Xin say.
At this moment, the assistant director ran out and shouted: "Teacher Hu, it's your turn!"
"Oh, here it comes!"
Hu Jun responded, and before leaving, he patted He Xin on the shoulder and said, "This matter is settled now!"
"Hey, Brother Jun..."
He Xin originally wanted to wait until he read the script before talking, but Hu Jun ran away without looking back and waved his hand at him.
Cheng Hao came out of the play and happened to see this scene, so he came over and said, "What's wrong?"
He Xin held the script and said with a depressed expression: "He is clearly buying and selling by force!"
"Then you can take the next step. I also think this book is good." Cheng Hao said.
Although she felt a little uncomfortable with the large scale in the script at first, after a morning, she gradually thought about it. After all, she is an actor after all. Even if she can't help her boyfriend, she can't hold her back.
He Xin had no choice but to say: "Let me read the script first and then talk about it."
…
Celebrate the Lantern Festival, have fun with the Lantern Festival, and eat the Lantern Festival.
Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in the urban areas of Beijing. Although you can occasionally hear the sound of some people secretly setting off fireworks, it is generally very deserted and does not feel like a festival.
Although the crew rarely got a day off, the couple preferred to stay at home. It was almost midnight, and the girlfriend was still lying in bed refusing to get up.
As for eating Yuanxiao, in today's era of extremely abundant materials, the sense of form is more important than the actual meaning. Besides, glutinous rice flour contains too much sugar, which is the enemy of actors who want to stay in shape. It is better to make something delicious.
of.
He Xin got up early in the morning as usual, went for a run, walked the dog and bought vegetables. He mainly bought some vegetables. When he came back from Feilong Valley last night, he bought a local chicken and two kilograms of local pork from a fellow villager.
Although the fat of local pork is as thick as three fingers, the taste is not comparable to those fat and thin feed pigs sold in the market, and it is particularly fragrant.
But his girlfriend was always put off by this kind of fat pork. He Xin developed a new method, which is to cut the thick fat pork into thumb-sized pieces and add rice wine to the water.
Soak Sichuan peppercorns for an hour to soak the blood and remove the fishy smell at the same time.
After controlling the water, put a little bit of oil into the pot, heat it up over low heat, pour the pork into the pot, and stir-fry slowly. After a while, the meat in the pot slowly shrinks. The two pounds are fat.
At least half a pound of fat can be obtained by stir-frying local pork.
Filter out the lard in the pot. The pork that was originally the size of your thumb has shrunk to the size of your little finger. Then add ginger, minced garlic, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, stir well over high heat, put it into a casserole and cover with water.
No, simmer slowly over low heat.
Pour the lard that you just skimmed out into the pot, put in a large amount of it over low heat, wash it, drain the water, and cut the scallions into about ten centimeters long. This is called simmering scallion oil.
When the scallions in the pot start to turn yellow, add two garlic cloves to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma. When the scallions become completely withered and yellow, the pot of scallion oil is considered ready.
, filter it out.
He Xin tasted a piece of withered green onion. It was crispy and fragrant, not overly bitter, and the heat was just right.
The pork in the casserole is simmered for an hour until the pork is tender and tender, and the pork that has survived the oil will not melt no matter how long it is simmered.
Make the soup a little bigger, and then pour a spoonful of hot scallion oil directly on it. This kind of local pork is inherently delicious, and with the fragrance of scallion oil, there is no need to add chicken essence or MSG.
This is how you make a simple and healthy pork sauce.
After a while, my girlfriend got up, ordered some homemade noodles bought from a fellow villager, put some minced raw garlic, added a few withered green onions, dug in the pork sauce, mixed it, and it was a bowl of fragrant scallion oil pork sauce.
Mixed noodles.
Just as He Xin was humming a little tune and pounding garlic, suddenly his girlfriend's exclamation of "Ah--" came from the bedroom, which scared him so much that he almost smashed the garlic jar in his hand.
It also frightened Chuan Chuan, who was lying lazily on the balcony basking in the sun, and jumped up instantly. The dog looked around confusedly, and sniffed again. It was probably just the scent coming from the kitchen, but
It doesn't dare to go to the kitchen, otherwise it will be beaten.
Not noticing anything strange, he stretched his front legs forward, straightened his hind legs, bent his whole body into an arch, stretched greatly, and then lay down lazily, continuing to bask in the sun.
He Xinke was not as calm and leisurely as Chuanchuan. Hearing the sound, he quickly put down the garlic jar and ran into the bedroom.
"What's wrong?"
I saw my girlfriend with disheveled hair, sitting on the bed and giggling like a crazy woman, holding her cell phone in her hand.
"Honey, give me a hug!" Seeing her boyfriend come in, Cheng Hao opened her arms and said coquettishly.
Did you take the wrong medicine?
Of course He Xin didn't dare to say it out loud, he just muttered secretly in his heart, sniffed like Chuan Chuan, smelled his body, and said: "It smells of oil smoke!"
"Stop talking nonsense and come here!"
"..."
He Xin could only reluctantly go over and hug her.
As a result, Cheng Hao hugged him tightly and actually bit him on the neck.
"His!"
He Xin quickly broke free, touched his neck that was still sticky with saliva, and blurted out: "There is something wrong with you! Hurry up, get up, aren't you hungry?"
"hey-hey!"
Cheng Hao rarely fought back. He sat on the bed and giggled. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "Guess what score I got in this postgraduate examination?"
He Xin suddenly slapped his head and said in surprise: "Are the results announced?"
In previous years, the postgraduate examination results were usually released around mid-February. This year’s Spring Festival is later, so the release date will naturally be postponed.
"It was just announced today that I got...362 points in the exam!"
"sure!"
This time, without waiting for his girlfriend to react, He Xin rushed over, kissed his girlfriend hard on the face, and said happily: "I knew it was not easy to get into a graduate school with your ability."
According to previous years, the preliminary test scores for graduate students admitted to China Theater generally fluctuated in the range of 335 to 340 points. For example, the full score for Ideological and Political Education and English is 100 points, and the passing standard is roughly between 35 and 38 points; there are also majors 1 and 3.
The full score for a single subject of Major 2 is 150 points, and the passing standard for a single subject is 90 points. This will generally not change.
He then hurriedly asked: "Is there any problem with the single subject score?"
"no problem!"
Cheng Hao nodded happily, and then added: "Feifei also passed the exam, but her score was slightly lower than mine."
The scores for admission to art schools are roughly the same.
However, the scores in the preliminary examination are only a threshold. Art schools that recruit Master of Arts students pay more attention to the students’ interview scores, that is, the art test scores.
But for Cheng Hao, a former outstanding student leader, and more importantly, Hong, even without Hao Rong's blessing, the school very much welcomes such outstanding alumni to continue their studies at their alma mater.
So as long as I pass the preliminary examination of the cultural class, I'm pretty much on the same page and waiting for the interview in May, when "Wulin Gaiden" will almost be finished.
"Then I'll cook two more dishes, and let's have a good celebration at noon!" He Xingxing rushed.
…
"Oh, I see, Sister Hong...well, goodbye!"
After putting down the phone, He Xin couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Hao, who was sitting on the sofa playing "I throw the ball, you pick it back up and give it to me" with Chuan Chuan, glanced at him and asked.
"I will report to the crew the day after tomorrow."
"Why is it so early? Didn't it mean that you had to wait until the first month before turning on the phone?" Cheng Hao said in surprise.
In fact, the crew of "Qiao Family Courtyard" had already started the preliminary setting work in Qiao Family Courtyard before the Chinese New Year. The director, screenwriter and other behind-the-scenes creatives also arrived in Shanxi on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
The main reason for the delay in starting production is that the male actors in this drama need to shave their heads and wear braided hair covers. The custom in the north is not to shave their heads during the first month of the year. The original plan was to start filming on the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises his head.
At that time, the actors only needed to report to the crew in early March.
However, director Hu Mei proposed that it would be best for the actors to familiarize themselves with the environment of the set ten days and a half in advance, so that the actors and actors, and the actors and the behind-the-scenes team can get in touch first, so that they can start shooting smoothly when the filming starts.
The director's suggestion was understandable. After all, everything was for the sake of the show. It was just that He Xin could not help but feel a little regretful. After all, the interval between him returning from Berlin and then going to Shanxi was less than a week.
Hearing her boyfriend's explanation, Cheng Hao's joy at finding out that he had scored high marks in the postgraduate examination suddenly turned into depression. He held the balls he had just picked up in his hands and forgot to throw them out, until
Chuan Chuan whined and touched her hand with his mouth before she reacted.
He rolled the ball on the floor casually and said in a deep voice: "As for "Eggplant", have you given an answer to Brother Jun?"
Hearing his girlfriend mention this, He Xin couldn't help but frown again.
To be honest, this book is really good, and the role of the security guard in it is really attractive to him. As Hu Jun said, he can play this role well even without preparation. But Hu Jun said that he should use Lan Yu's character feeling to portray it.
This character is not accurate. It can only be said that interpreting such a character based on his silk-picking mentality in his previous life is the real way to open up.
However, the description of the passionate scene between the security guard and Qian Yu in the script was too large. It wasn't that he didn't want to act, it was mainly because he had to take his girlfriend's feelings into consideration.
When he is with his girlfriend, he will often put himself in her shoes. If it were his girlfriend who took on a large-scale drama, even though we are all actors and everyone seems to understand verbally, he would always feel uncomfortable in his heart.
.
His girlfriend had also read the script, and although she had been persuading him to take the role, He Xin could always sense his girlfriend's inner reluctance behind her words.
But Hu Jun happened to take advantage of him again, leaving him in a dilemma for a while.
"Not yet. The most important thing is that the scale is a bit big. I'm worried about whether it can pass the inspection." He Xin scratched his scalp and said.
"Whether it can pass the censorship or not is not something you can control. Besides, there are very few films you have made that have failed the censorship! However, I think this opportunity is rare. Otherwise, you can work hard. What's next?" Cheng
Funny.
"But this..."
Cheng Hao saw that he was still hesitant and glanced at himself from time to time, so he couldn't help but said: "Don't look at me. Anyway, I'm suggesting you go on, so don't make blind guesses. I'm telling the truth.
Just be simple, don't act coy, you don't look like a grown man at all."
"..."
After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, I'd better call Brother Jun again and ask him to find any other suitable candidates."
Now he finally understands why there are so many famous celebrities in the future who will act in bad movies that are obviously logically nonsense. It is really difficult to get rid of the kidnapping of favors. Fortunately, this time Hu Jun got it
The book I came here is not considered a bad movie.
"Hey, Brother Jun, please take this book. I do have difficulties here. It's not that I won't help. Really, I..."
He called as he said, but after the call was connected, before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Hu Jun, who then said a lot on the phone.
At first, his expression was normal, but then Cheng Hao was surprised to find that his boyfriend opened his mouth wide, raised his brows, and laughed silently...
All in all, the expression is very rich.
Until he responded vaguely twice at the end, and after hanging up the phone, Cheng Hao quickly asked curiously: "What did Brother Jun tell you on the phone?"
He Xin still felt a little unbelievable at this time, but he felt that he had to digest it first, so he asked first: "What do you think of Liao Fan?"
In his previous life, his impression of Liao Fan was still Liang Jinglun in "All Quiet in Peking" and Jianguo in "If You Are the One 2". He felt that his acting skills were good, and he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have acquired something else.
An incredible actor.
I just can’t remember whether it was the Best Actor at the three major European film festivals or the Best Actor at the top 12 international Class A film festivals.
"Liao Fan, he is a very nice person and his acting skills are quite good..."
Cheng Hao had previously collaborated with Liao Fan in the movie "Please, Praise Me" directed by Huang Jianxin, but their relationship in private was not so good, so we can only have a rough impression.
But just as she was talking, her eyes suddenly lit up, she remembered, and said hurriedly: "By the way, Liao Fan is Huo Xin's boyfriend! Could it be that Huo Xin recommended him to play the role of security guard?"
"You know this too?"
If Hu Jun hadn't told him on the phone, he would never have thought that the boyfriend of Huo Xin, the screenwriter of the "Eggplant" script, was actually Liao Fan.
"I heard Director Huang mention it accidentally when we were filming. Actually, I don't know Huo Xin, but she seems to be much older than Liao Fan!"
Cheng Hao sighed in explanation, and then quickly said: "Why did you suddenly ask about Liao Fan? Was the guess I just made correct?"
Thinking of what Hu Jun said to him on the phone, He Xin couldn't help but nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, screenwriter Huo did recommend Liao Fan to play the security guard at first, but Brother Jun was not satisfied. He felt that this role was
It was tailor-made for me, so I recommended it..."
He didn't say anything further, but Cheng Hao understood it instantly.
Compared to an unknown little actor like Liao Fan, her boyfriend is a double-gold actor and is still so popular. Whether it is director Zhang Baibai or the producer, as long as they are not bad, they will definitely choose an actor whose acting skills are more reliable and famous.
A bigger star.
But Cheng Hao was a little confused and said: "Are you worried that if you take this role, you will offend Huo Xin?"
He Xin shook his head and continued with a wry smile: "No, Brother Jun said that he had praised Haikou to the producer. I have to accept it even if I don't accept it this time, otherwise he will be very embarrassed."
But then his eyes lit up and he said to his girlfriend: "Guess who plays the role of Qian Yu?"
"Who is it?"
Speaking of the role of Qian Yu, Cheng Hao was really curious. After all, there were several large-scale scenes between Qian Yu and the security guard in the script. But to play husband and wife with Hu Jun, the actress should be older.
But when I saw the excited light shining in my boyfriend's eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little bit disgusted: "Could it be Jiang Shan?"
"No... uh, why did you think of Sister Shan?"
"Tch, I don't know who it is, but they keep saying that Jiang Shan was his idol when he was a boy!"
Seeing the sour look on his girlfriend's face, this guy inevitably felt a little guilty, after all, he almost got a 404 in the first place.
At that moment, I didn't dare to make any excuses anymore, so I hurriedly popped out the name of a certain Hong Kong star.
"real?"
Cheng Hao's eyes suddenly widened.
With such a big melon, how can I even bother eating lemons? You must know that the scandal between Hu Jun and that person is not only spread by the outside world, but also by the insiders.
He Xin pretended to be serious and said: "Brother Jun said that it was mainly because that person was very interested in the role of Qian Yu, so he pulled him in. Then he pulled me in, saying that he must perform this drama well."
Cheng Haoying was stunned for a while and said nothing.
He Xin understood this very well, after all, he had just spent a long time digesting it.
"So, the two of them really..."
Before Cheng Hao could say anything, He Xin waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't make wild guesses, you can't talk nonsense like this! No matter what, Brother Jun is still my buddy!"
"cut!"
Cheng Hao snorted coldly, intending to say something sarcastic, but when she thought of how Jun Hu took care of her in the "Dragon" crew, she could only shut up.
But she immediately asked: "Who will play the role of Xiaoxia?"
"I heard from Brother Jun that director Zhang Baibai seems to have taken a fancy to a newcomer who just graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy. What, are you interested in this role?"
Cheng Hao quickly shook his head and said: "The scale is so big, I don't dare to act!"
I don’t know why, but when I heard that the Hong Kong star was playing the role of Qian Yu, the last little knot in Cheng Hao’s heart suddenly disappeared.
As for He Xin, the same seems to be true. In a sense, he is just helping his friends, and there is no psychological burden at all.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at the same time.
