The plane descended slowly, and He Xin looked out the window. All he could see was the vast sea. It was blue in the distance, and the sea near the sea was turbid and yellow. At this scene, a sense of intimacy suddenly came to his heart. He had once
I was born and grew up in a small county town by the sea, and this was the first time I saw the sea since my rebirth.
In early April, the weather in Zhuhai was already very hot. After getting off the plane, he couldn't wait to find a restroom, took off his sweater, put his coat on his hands, and dragged his suitcase out of the gate.
He Xin looked up at the pick-up area and saw a thin man looking around while holding a white cardboard with "Mr. He Xin" written on it.
"Hello, I'm He Xin."
"Hello, Mr. He, I am the driver of the crew and I am here to pick you up." The thin man was very enthusiastic, and his mouth was full of pure Beijing movies.
As he said that, he still wanted to help him get the box.
"No, brother, you're welcome, I'll do it myself." He Xin said hurriedly, his Mandarin automatically switching to a Beijing accent.
"You're welcome. I heard from the crew that you are a smart guy. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you." The thin man said frankly.
"They are joking, what kind of skill do I have!"
Speaking of which, He Xin is really embarrassed. He has only filmed two movies in total. One has been banned and the other has not been released yet, but even if it is released, it cannot be released in the country. Think of someone who can wear a mask and sunglasses and go out on the street to show off.
I still don’t know how long it will take until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
He Xin originally thought that this thin man with an eye for Beijing movies was a driver from the Beijing Production Company. As he was walking out of the airport with his suitcase, he casually asked: "Mr. Li, are you in Zhuhai too?"
Mr. Li is the boss of Jingcheng Production Company, a friend of Li Mengnan, and one of the producers of this TV series. He Xin has never met him. Although he was selling Li Mengnan's face at first, he still has to thank him when he meets him.
"Mr. Li?"
The thin man was stunned for a moment and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. He, I don't know Mr. Li. In fact, I just came to work on the set temporarily."
"Then you..." He Xin was a little confused.
"Oh, I've been coming to Zhuhai for a long time. I've just been around for more than ten years without much success and no shame in returning to the capital, so I settled here. I usually do odd jobs and drive for others." The thin man smiled.
road.
Although he sounds like a tough guy, it's obvious that this guy has a good attitude. Think about it, someone like him who can settle down here is much better than those tough guys who work hard on the construction site every day.
The thin man took him into a seven-seater Changhe van. The back seats were removed and there were many props inside. He Xin squeezed into the front passenger seat.
As the car drove along the highway toward the city, He Xin came to the forefront of reform and opening up for the first time in his life, looking around curiously along the way.
"Is this your first time in Zhuhai, Mr. He?" the thin man asked with a smile upon seeing this.
“Not only is this my first time here, I’ve never been to Guangdong Province before.”
"how do you feel?"
"hot!"
"Haha! The heating in Beijing has just turned off right now, and you are still wearing a sweater!" The thin man looked a little lonely as he recalled the city, and then immediately smiled and said: "Actually, the past two days have been fine. It was around 25 degrees during the day, but it was a bit cold in the morning and evening.
, you have to wear long sleeves.”
The two chatted casually, and the car soon entered the city and turned into the parking lot of a hotel. It was said that the hotel was actually not much bigger than an ordinary hotel.
The thin man took the room card from the front desk and took him to the door of a guest room on the third floor before saying goodbye: "Mr. He, please take a rest first. The crew has gone out to film at the moment. I guess I won't be back until dinner."
.”
"thank you!"
Opening the door and entering the room, He Xin glanced around habitually. The room was not big, and the layout was similar to the guest house of Xinying Studio where he had stayed before. However, this time the crew arranged a single room for him, and it seemed that the treatment was pretty good.
After nearly four hours of flying and tired from the journey, He Xin took a shower. He originally wanted to lie on the bed and relax for a while, but he fell asleep unknowingly and didn't wake up until there was a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a man with a dark face and gray hair standing at the door. He didn't look very old. He saw He Xin's sleepy look and apologized: "Excuse me, Mr. He, I am Ye
Magnificent.”
He Xin was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and said hurriedly: "Oh, hello, Director Ye!"
Ye Hongwei is the director of this play, a director from Wanwan.
The name is very unfamiliar, but He Xin had introduced him to Li Mengnan before. It is said that he is a well-known director in Wanwan Island. He has made several films and was nominated for the Golden Horse Award. He Xin originally planned to visit him, but he did not expect the other party to take the initiative.
Come to say hello.
"Mr. He, you haven't had dinner yet, how about we come together?" Ye Hongwei invited with a smile.
"Okay! But please wait a moment, I..." He Xin nodded quickly and made an apologetic gesture of washing his face.
"Oh, then I'll wait for you in the restaurant."
After Ye Hongwei left, He Xin quickly washed up, changed into a T-shirt and hurried downstairs.
When we came to the restaurant downstairs, there were about ten people sitting at a large round table except Ye Hongwei. The scene seemed a bit big.
He Xin hurriedly ran over and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I'm late."
"We just sat down, come on, come on, Ah Xin, sit down, today is just for you." Ye Hongwei greeted with a smile.
He Xin was a little flattered when he heard that. He was just a supporting role. He didn't expect that the other party would be so polite, and he immediately thanked him profusely.
Ye Hongwei helped him introduce the people present one by one, including the production director, screenwriter, photographer, lighting, and several protagonists. Almost all the creatives were present.
One of them, when Ye Hongwei finished the introduction, He Xin hurriedly came up to say hello: "Brother Hao, I'm new here, please take care of me."
Zhao Yanguo's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Hey, I'm in the mood so quickly! Come on, let's have a drink first!"
Brother Hao is very talented. He graduated from Beijing Film Academy and was classmates with Jiang Wenli and Xu Qing. He went abroad for further studies in his early years and later settled in Sweden. He also established a film and television studio. He wrote, directed and starred in a movie a few years ago. Due to financial problems,
, has not yet been completed. The reason why I starred in this TV series is probably to raise money for the new movie.
Except for Brother Hao, He Xin saw the unfamiliar faces in front of him and the noisy scenes that reminded him of this TV series. He thought this was just a grass-roots team. However, after an in-depth introduction, he discovered that there were actually hidden dragons and tigers among these people.
For example, Yu Hui, the heroine who plays Brother Hao's wife Guo Jinfeng, graduated from the theater and made her debut very early. She has won the double award of Huabiao and Golden Rooster; the actor Xu Jingsuo, who plays Brother Hao's number one Ma Zaixun, also graduated from the theater; there is another
The guy who plays the mainland police officer, the one who originally wanted Li Mengnan to play the role, graduated from China National Drama Theater and has very senior qualifications. Even Hao Rong and Li Mengnan have to call themselves junior brothers in front of others.
Today's meal was created by director Ye Hongwei, who is one of those realistic art film directors in Wanwan, and his style is more similar to that of Chief Jia.
After the Berlin Film Festival, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was released in Wanwan. Ye Hongwei had seen the movie and was amazed by He Xin's performance in it, and was looking forward to working with him this time.
The director gave him face, and He Xin certainly had to appreciate it. After a drink, at least on the surface everyone gave him a warm welcome.
In the next two days, there was no role for He Xin yet, so he followed the crew to observe the scene. Probably except for a few leading actors, the other boys and gangsters didn't know where to find them.
Very exaggerated.
It can be seen that they all tried their best to play their roles well, but inevitably they used too much force. Even so, the director still shouted. Only then did he realize why he was so impressed by the role of Ayou.
, because it turns out that the buddy who played Ayou in "Double-sided Tape" was completely out of place among this group of people!
