If we rank the roles that He Xin most wants to play in his life, then the role of Xu Wenqiang will definitely be ranked in the top five. Just like Liu Huaqiang in "Conquest", Jiang Defu in "Parents' Love", and "The Wind"
Like Takeda, these are all feelings.
When he first learned that Gao Xixi was going to film "New Shanghai Beach", he really wanted to recommend himself. Unfortunately, on the one hand, he got the news relatively late. The producer had already appointed Xiao Ming, who has been on a rapid rise in recent years. On the other hand, he also
Because Sun Li and her girlfriend played the roles of Feng Chengcheng and Fang Yanyun, if she were to step in again, it might turn into a Shura scene both inside and outside the movie.
At this time, he was watching Brother Xiao Ming imitating Brother Fa in various ways on TV. To be honest, he really felt embarrassed.
Please note that "New Shanghai Beach" is an adaptation and not a remake. It is completely different from the original version. For example, Feng Jingyao, played by Li Xuejian, has his own characteristics and is a complete Li Xuejian version of Feng Jingyao.
, not only has nothing to do with Feng Jingyao, the father of the male protagonist in the original "Luminous Script", but it also takes him to a higher level.
After all, Brother Xiao Ming also graduated from a Nortel major. Is this the level he has? To be honest, he is still not prepared enough.
When "New Shanghai Beach" started filming, he rushed over from another crew almost non-stop and started filming right away. Without enough time to prepare, he could only imitate.
As the saying goes: punches never leave your hands, music never leaves your mouth. The same is true for the acting profession, which requires constant practice before you can improve. Once you get used to perfunctory and stereotyped performances, your acting skills will stagnate, or even
Degenerate.
The so-called "debut is the peak", this is the case in most cases. It is not unreasonable for Xiao Ming in later generations to be dissed by the audience for his acting skills.
In fact, after his girlfriend got the script of "New Shanghai Beach", he read it carefully and even wrote a biography of Xu Wenqiang.
In his eyes, Xu Wenqiang has a lot of creative space.
For example, the biography he wrote sets Xu Wenqiang as a student leader at Fudan University. His former classmate and best friend Lu Qiubai (referring to the setting of the character Qu En in "The Righteous Way in the World is Vicissitudes") lives in a family.
Working at the Shanghai Art Museum, this was the most typical image of a literati in Shanghai at that time.
In the original version, Xu Wenqiang fled Shanghai and went to Hong Kong to find a job as a newspaper contributor. These plots reflect from the side that Xu Wenqiang is a literary man in nature.
As long as the character's positioning is accurately identified, the rest will be simple, such as the idealistic plot remaining in him and his inner insistence on certain things.
Shanghai is a place that values strength and weakness. The rules of survival here are completely different from those in the world of literati. Scholars like to reason, but Shanghai only cares about momentum.
Indeed, when Xu Wenqiang first entered Shanghai Beach, he was invincible and quickly won the favor of Feng Jingyao, the highest authority in Shanghai. Not only did he become his right-hand man, but he was also about to become his son-in-law. Perhaps one day he could replace Feng Jingyao and become his son-in-law.
People on the beach, people on the beach.
However, Xu Wenqiang is still a scholar in essence. He cannot be like Feng Jingyao, a gangster who has been hanging out in Shanghai for so long. He has no ties in his heart except interests. Xu Wenqiang has too many ties in his heart, and these ties
Tunduo has nothing to do with his own interests, which dooms him to a tragic fate in Shanghai...
With this understanding, can we create another Xu Wenqiang?
He Xin even thinks that if he plays the role, he might be like Xiao Feng played by Hu Jun, surpassing the classics and turning himself into a classic.
"well!"
Thinking of this in divergent thinking, he couldn't help but sigh.
Cheng Hao, who was sitting nearby and eating a cantaloupe, turned his head and looked at him strangely when he heard the sound, and asked: "It's so good, why are you sighing?"
"Well, I just thought of something else."
Cheng Hao didn't take it seriously. The two had been together for so long, and she had long been used to her boyfriend occasionally being distracted for no apparent reason. She was not surprised by this. It seemed that many artists had this problem, and their inspiration often came from this.
This kind of "mind-wandering" moment is born.
Seeing her boyfriend come to his senses, she asked again: "Are you really planning to take on that ghost movie?"
"This is not a ghost movie, it's a love movie!"
He Xin seriously corrected his girlfriend's nonsense. He pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say now. Let's talk to Teacher Yu next Monday."
Cheng Hao always admired her boyfriend's vision, but this time there was obviously a question mark on his forehead: "Is this reliable?"
She was obviously questioning Teacher Yu's ability as a rookie director. After all, movies are a director's art, and the quality of a director almost determines the style and quality of the movie.
I say almost because there are sometimes exceptions, such as Lu Chuan's debut novel "Looking for the Gun".
To be honest, the girlfriend's question is also He Xin's question. If an actor does not trust the director, this is a very annoying thing.
He smiled bitterly and said, "That's why we have to talk!"
The reason why he is hesitant is mainly because he is interested in this relatively new subject matter. As for how to build trust between him and the rookie director Teacher Yu, currently he can only rely on communication and exchange of their respective understandings of the plot and characters.
In order to reach a consensus.
Cheng Hao pursed her lips. Although she didn't say anything else, she didn't agree with her boyfriend taking on the drama. It wasn't for other reasons, but simply for the sake of her boyfriend's career development.
Along the way, He Xin has won many awards and reputations, even though he had previously made many underground films that could not be released in the mainland.
Even though the later films "The Promise" and "Seven Swords" caused a lot of controversy, the box office was real. "The Promise" earned 180 million, and "Seven Swords" earned 80 million. If you include "The Stone"'s nearly 100 million
With the 60 million of "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters", as well as those previous literary and artistic films, the total box office of the movies starring He Xin has infinitely approached 500 million.
You must know that these days, only the films of Guoshi, Director Chen and Feng Xiaogang are the only mainland movies with a single box office that can exceed 100 million. As an actor, He Xin's total box office in the mainland is about to exceed 500 million, which is absolutely unparalleled in the industry.
It is a rare existence. If you compare it more intuitively, it is probably equivalent to the total box office in later generations at least exceeding 7 to 8 billion, or even 10 billion.
The more an actor reaches this level, the more he needs to cherish his feathers. Cheng Hao very much agrees with her boyfriend to reduce the frequency of taking roles and slow down the pace of work, but he strongly disapproves of him taking risks at this time.
However, she also knew that her boyfriend, despite being submissive to her on the surface, was actually a very creative person in the field of work. Otherwise, he would not have turned down the CCTV drama and would not have offered money.
I would like to use my connections to help Ning Hao complete "Incense", let alone invest in "Wulin Gaiden" at all costs.
She immediately changed the subject, frowned and said, "Director Gao called me today to make an appointment. Originally I didn't want to answer the call, but I promised him before."
"That's true!" He Xin nodded and muttered.
In fact, the biggest fear in this industry is agreeing easily and owing others favors. What would you do if you were asked to act in a bad drama?
Then he asked: "What kind of show is this?"
"It is said that it is an adaptation of a novel by Zhang Henshui called "The Love of Money"."
Cheng Hao was obviously hesitant when she said this. In fact, her previous promise to Gao Xixi came second.
Although she had previously stated that she would not take any other roles in the near future because of the film "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart". But the most important thing is that the two novels by Zhang Henshui that were previously adapted for the screen, "The Golden Fen Family" and "The Cause of Laughter", both won awards.
It was a great success. Moreover, Gao Xixi made it clear to her on the phone that this adaptation of "The Big Deal" is also a large-scale production with an investment of tens of millions.
When He Xin heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he blurted out: "You play Tian Peizhi!"
Speaking of which, he almost forgot about this incident. You must know that the reason why he was obsessed with Cheng Hao in his previous life was not only the heartthrob, but also Tian Peizhi.
Looking back now, the role of Tian Peizhi is definitely the pinnacle of Cheng Hao in the original time and space. This role is definitely not as popular as the heartthrob in "Pink Girl", but the artistry is extremely high.
"Hey, have you read this novel?" Cheng Hao said in surprise.
It should be said that among Zhang Henshui's many masterpieces, "The Revelers" is relatively unpopular.
"Uh, yes!"
He responded vaguely and quickly asked: "Is there any conflict with "Thousands of Arrows Pierce the Heart"?"
Cheng Hao shook his head and said with a troubled expression: "Let's not talk about conflicts. Director Gao will start shooting in October at the earliest. I'm just afraid that I won't have time to prepare by then, and I don't even know that I have finished filming "Ten Thousand Arrows".
What kind of state will it be like after "Through the Heart"? If I really take it, I won't be able to act at that time. Wouldn't this be a delay?"
The girlfriend's worries are not unreasonable. When an actor devotes himself wholeheartedly to a role, it will be difficult to break away. This was the case for He Xin when he finished filming "Lan Yu". In the end, he relied on his secret love for his girlfriend
, and then used self-hypnosis to continuously amplify this secret love, and then separated myself.
He didn't have any good ideas for this kind of thing, not to mention that the result hadn't happened yet. He was just silent for a moment, then looked seriously into his girlfriend's eyes and said: "If you give up the role of Tian Peizhi, I think you will definitely do it in the future."
