Four hundred and twentieth chapters great background
"Xiao He, this is Director Yin Li whom I often mentioned to you!"
Chang Jihong enthusiastically introduced him to the fat black man wearing glasses. At first glance, he looked very much like Liu Jiang, a famous performing artist of the older generation, who played "I, Hu Hansan, am back again!" and "Authentic" in "Sparkling Red Star".
The one who said "High, really high!" in "War".
In fact, no introduction was needed. He Xin also knew him. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold the other person's hand and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Director Yin! I have always heard Sister Hong mention you, and I finally met today."
At the end of the day, he specifically raised three fingers and said: "I have read your "No Regrets" three times!"
Yin Li and Chang Jihong are old acquaintances. They worked together as workers in a craft carving factory in Beijing, and later they both went to college. Soon after working, Chang Jihong joined the crew as an artist, scene recorder, and assistant under Yin Li's introduction.
Director, production director, and later became Jiang Wenli's agent.
Yin Li is now the director of China Film and Television, and has directed many theme films. Last year's very popular theme film "Zhang Side", which was booked everywhere, was his work.
Maybe because he has been filming the main theme all the time, Yin Li is usually serious and unsmiling, but when he heard He Xin mention "No Regrets" as soon as he came up, he couldn't help but smile, and said a little shyly: "Thank you! Thank you very much."
Got it!"
He has made many movies with main themes, but the work he considers most proud of is still the TV series "No Regrets" filmed ten years ago. However, the response was average when it was broadcast, so few people mention it now.
.
At this time, when He Xin said that he had read it three times, he immediately felt like a close friend.
He Xin didn't mean to flatter him. Yin Li was just a director within an individual system, and he shot the main theme, which seemed to be incompatible with him. Being polite to the other party was not only polite, but also for the sake of popularity.
Sister's face.
But he really liked the movie "No Regrets" directed by Yin Li ten years ago.
It's accidental. In his previous life, he was very obsessed with spy movies, but after watching "Insidious", "Before Dawn", "Silence", "The Conspiracy", and "Kite", and watching other movies, he felt...
It's pretty average, including "The Pretender", "All Quiet in Peking", "Father's Identity" and so on that were popular in later generations.
It's not that the actors didn't perform well, it's mainly that the plot was too thin and couldn't stand up to scrutiny.
Occasionally, I saw a notification on my phone and found that a Douban movie had a higher rating than "Latent", so I watched it online. Although the movie was old and the resolution was poor, it was still very enjoyable to watch.
This film is "No Regrets" directed by Yin Li.
Then in this life, especially after learning acting, He Xin specially found a pirated copy of this TV series and rewatched it twice. As he just said to Yin Li, his two lifetimes combined would be enough.
Watched it three times.
Looking back now, there are roughly three reasons why this TV series has such a high rating on Douban.
First of all, the subject matter is novel. Although it is a spy film, it is not about catching a spy in the traditional sense. It is about the enemy and ourselves, between two little people, forty years of tracking, forty years of hardship, no regrets; half a lifetime of lurking,
The story of half a lifetime of transformation and finally becoming a new person.
Secondly, it is real and down-to-earth. Over the past forty years, the ups and downs of the historical period from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the reform and opening up, the fate and life of many small people have been recounted. Many plots are like things happening around me, using sentences now in online articles
A popular word among readers is that it is particularly immersive.
And the reason why it is said to be down-to-earth is that the names of the characters in it are also very funny, such as Kangmei, Xinyi, Weige, and the big beard, Xiao Anzi, urinal, shaved bag, single eyelids, etc., which are in line with the characteristics of the times.
, and has the playful spirit of the old capital.
Finally, the acting skills of the actors are on the line. The two male protagonists are Wang Zhiwen and the third master Liu Peiqi. Needless to say, these two major drama stars; the respective children are played by the newly debuted Li Bingbing and the human-looking Hao Rong; there are many supporting roles
They are all familiar faces, such as Li Ding, a famous performing artist of the older generation, Yue Xiuqing, the daughter-in-law of Secretary Dakang, Silly Zhu He Bing, Chou Niang Zhang Shaohua, Zhang Side, Wu Jun, Da Taohong, etc. They are all acting stars.
He Xin scratched Yin Li's itchy spot, and the courtesy was reciprocated. Yin Li also had to praise He Xin's acting skills.
After exchanging business blows, they sat down at Chang Jihong's greeting.
Sister Hong hurriedly called her over, and Yin Li was here again. It would definitely not be a simple introduction to the two of them, and the answer seemed to be ready to come out.
Sure enough, before Chang Jihong could speak, Yin Li took out a script from his bag and said straight to the point with a slightly serious expression: "Xiao He, this time we China Film, together with Longxiang Film Company of Wanwan, and Yinghuang Film Company of Hong Kong,
The movie, jointly invested by three parties, is preparing to shoot a story about a loyal love story that crosses the Taiwan Strait and lasts until death against the background of sixty years of great turbulence. I came here this time to ask you to play the male lead in this movie.
"
When He Xin heard it, he felt that it had a big background. The mainland, Bay Area, and Hong Kong had a very strong political color of uniting the three places. Moreover, the three film companies were also the leading large companies in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
Mainland China Film and National Team.
Hong Kong Yinghuang has risen rapidly in recent years. It has many big stars under its banner, such as Big Brother Cheng, Zha Zhahui, Xie Biwang, Teacher Chen, Yung Zhuer, Twins and so on.
Wanwan's Longxiang is also a large company. It has cooperated with the mainland and Hong Kong for a long time and produced many well-known works. For example, "Nanjing 1937" directed by Wu Ziniu, Huang Jianxin's "The Five Leaders", Hu Jinquan's "The Swordsman"
", Wu Yusen's "The Bloody Heroes", Yuan Heping's "The Iron Horse", Cheng Xiaodong's "The Invincibles of the East Rises Again", You Dazhi's "The Dark Flower", etc.
He Xin was timid and didn't dare to pick up the script. Thinking that he had two more dramas to come, he just asked cautiously: "Director Yin, when will the filming of the drama you mentioned be about to start?"
"Preparatory work has started long ago. It is initially expected to be after the National Day. However, the filming cycle of this drama is relatively long and may take half a year. You must be mentally prepared for this..."
He Xin felt something was wrong when he heard this. First of all, it didn't conflict with his current schedule. Secondly, Yin Li's tone didn't sound like an invitation at all, but like assigning a task.
He subconsciously glanced at the agent sitting next to him, and saw Sister Hong nodding slightly towards him with a happy face, her meaning was obvious.
"...This is China Film's biggest movie this year! So, you can read the script first."
After briefly introducing the situation, Yin Li emphasized it one last time and handed over the script in his hand.
He Xinzhan took it over and took a look at it cautiously. He saw "Yun Shui Yao" written on the cover, and then signed below: Liu Heng, Zhang Kehui.
The former is well-known to He Xin, a well-known domestic screenwriter, whose works include "Ju Dou" and "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" by Guoshi; "Red Rose and White Rose" by Guan Jinpeng; "The Overlord of Western Chu" by Xian Feiran
; Huang Shuqin's "Painted Soul"; Sun Zhou's "Pretty Mom" and so on. The female lead in most of the works is Gong Li. It can be said that she is Gong Li's queen screenwriter.
The latter's name seems somewhat familiar. Seeing the words "original work" marked after the name, he must be a certain well-known writer.
He Xin did not open the script immediately. Although Sister Hong hinted that he should take this movie next, he still said the truth sincerely: "Director Yin, I am filming now, and there is another movie to be started in August, and the cycle is at least
Two months; there is also a movie in November, but I am just a guest star in this movie, but it will take at least ten days."
He knows that this kind of film is a bit like a political mission, just like "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "My Motherland and Me" in later generations. Being able to find you means that the organization trusts you and values you, and there is no room for rejection.
And if you don’t get there, I’m afraid there will be many people trying to get in even if their heads are broken.
To be honest, he is a little frightened now and hastily put forward his actual situation, fearing that he will live up to the expectations of the organization and miss important events of the organization.
As a result, Yin Li smiled slightly, waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter. Ji Hong has already introduced the situation you just mentioned to me before. I think the time is about the same. It doesn't matter if we delay it for a few days. We can wait. As for what you said
Regarding the guest appearance, we can discuss and adjust it in the meantime."
Since Yin Li meant what he said, He Xin could only nod in agreement.
Only at the end, he hesitated and added with some shame: "The preliminary preparation may not be sufficient."
"Well..."
Yin Li frowned slightly. In fact, he had also considered this issue. Since He Xin took the initiative to bring it up, he pondered for a moment and shook his head helplessly: "Let's see then."
In fact, there was another subtext that he didn't say in front of He Xin, which was that he believed in He Xin's acting skills.
Today he came to the door in person. Of course, it was not an impromptu move. Instead, he had made full preparations at the beginning of the preparations, including looking through many of He Xin's previous works, focusing on "The Little Tailor" and "Beauty Grass".
Two films about educated youth, after comprehensive consideration of factors such as acting skills, international popularity and box office, the candidate He Xin was finally selected.
For He Xin, acting skills and international fame are clearly there and can be seen.
However, it's just that the box office is a bit difficult. Who told him that the films he made in the past were either banned films or high-brow literary films?
But fortunately, the two blockbusters he starred in last year are about to be released one after another. Since they are the works of directors Chen Da and Xu Ke, future box office results should be expected. And when "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters" is released next year, it can be considered as striking while the iron is hot.
Yin Li didn't stay long, he just hoped that He Xin could get familiar with the script and the characters as soon as possible, and then find time to communicate face to face, then stood up and left.
He Xin and Chang Jihong took Director Yin downstairs and watched him drive away.
"Xiao He, this is a good opportunity!" Sister Hong said with joy at this time.
Then he couldn't wait to drag He Xin upstairs to the office. He was still afraid that someone would hear him, so he lowered his voice and secretly said, "Do you know who the original author of this drama is Zhang Kehui?"
"Who?"
He Xin originally felt that this name sounded familiar.
Sister Hong was probably afraid that if she lowered her voice, she would hear through the wall, so she simply stood up on tiptoes and leaned close to his ear, saying a bunch of titles.
He was dumbfounded when he heard He Xin, no wonder he felt familiar. It turned out that this person was not only a writer, but also had a special background. He was also a big leader in office, with a higher level than a minister.
