"Teacher Xi, welcome! Welcome! Thank you very much for coming to help this time!"
He Xin bent over slightly, with a humble attitude, and personally greeted an actress in her early fifties, plainly dressed, and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses at the door of the company.
Nowadays, actresses in their early fifties can now be called old ladies, instead of being like the later generation who can still show off on the stage of some sister, or still sell sexy and pretty butt personas.
The old lady has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and her face is slightly long. The most eye-catching thing is the mole on her forehead. At first glance, she looks a bit like Teacher Lu Zhong who played Cixi with He Xin in "Qiao Family Courtyard". She is just Lu Zhong's teacher.
The mole on her forehead is farther to the left, while hers is farther to the right.
The reason why He Xin has such a low profile is not only that this actor from the Shanghai Drama Center is a national first-class actor, and has won the Golden Lion Award and the Plum Blossom Award, the highest awards in Chinese dramas, and has almost won the Golden Rooster, Huabiao, Golden Eagle, and Feitian
, Magnolia and other domestic film and television dramas for the best performance award.
The key point is that Teacher Xi also has a series of social titles such as "National Party Representative", "National People's Congress Representative", "Vice Chairman of the Filmmakers Association", "Vice Chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles", etc., all of which have great backgrounds.
The preparations for "Wang Gui and Anna" were relatively complete. Before filming started, Cheng Qiang specially organized a week-long script reading, which was held in the rehearsal hall and conference room on the first floor of the company.
Teacher Xi plays the role of Anna's mother in the play. She is particularly fond of Wang Gui and even pays a dowry to Wang Gui himself, so that Wang Gui will act as a good man and marry his precious daughter.
Originally, Teacher Xi lived in Shanghai and was highly respected in the industry, but his professional abilities were not outstanding. Cheng Qiang originally thought that he would not need to come to the capital to attend the script reading meeting.
But she was very serious. In her words, performing was her job and she couldn't delay. So she took the initiative to participate.
At this time, Teacher Xi had a humble look on her face. It was the first time she met He Xin, and she said: "Teacher He..."
He Xin was startled and said hurriedly: "Teacher Xi, you must not take this seriously! Xiao He, please call me Xiao He!"
Teacher Xi followed his kindness and said in a polite tone: "Xiao He, I should be the one to thank you and Director Cheng. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to perform this time. I like this role very much."
Listening to these words, it feels like a breath of fresh air. Sure enough, all these halos and titles are not given in vain.
Cheng Qiang has a pretty good eye for selecting actors. For example, teacher Pan Hong in "Double-sided Tape", you can tell by her face that she is a powerful character, and is very suitable for playing the role of Li Juan's mother, who has a sharp mouth and a tofu-hearted heart; and "Wang Gui and Anna"
Anna's mother, who comes from a noble family, is kind-hearted, wise, and generous, and fits well with Teacher Xi's temperament.
He Xin accompanied Teacher Xi all the way to the rehearsal hall, where they had already gathered. The main actors, including the director, screenwriter and other creatives were all there.
Seeing the two people coming in, everyone stood up to say hello.
"Brother Tao, thank you for your hard work!"
"What are you talking about? Xiao He, I'm a dumb person and don't know how to speak. Anyway, thank you."
Although Guo Tao became famous with "Stone", for a real actor, he is more willing to challenge the changes of the times and play with a wide age range. He knew that his role was assigned by He Xin, and he held on tightly.
Zhu Hexin's hands have quite a bit of courage that cannot be expressed.
"Brother Tao, based on what you said, I think you are definitely suitable for the role of Wang Gui." He Xin said with a smile.
His affection for Guo Tao came entirely from the naive Jiang Defu in "Parental Love". To be honest, he felt that Guo Tao, Mei Ting, and Jiang Dehua acted really well in that drama.
However, in reality, Guo Tao is still quite serious and doesn't talk much. Maybe most people who are good at comedy have this virtue.
He exchanged a few words with Guo Tao and saw Jiang Qinqin standing there looking at him with a smile. He subconsciously looked around and was about to walk over.
"Hello, Director He! Hello! I admire you very much and love to watch your plays the most!"
Suddenly a man came out from the side with a smile on his face and eagerly stretched out his hands to shake his hand.
"..."
He Xin was stunned for a moment. In the circle, he was either called Xiao He or Teacher He, but few people called him Director He. He looked at the other person up and down. He looked familiar, and his accent sounded like someone from Beijing.
"Oh, my name is Feng Jiayi. I played Professor Tan in "Double-sided Tape", the black-hearted doctor Tan Yidao who treated Yaping's father. This time I played Wang Gui's cousin, the introducer who brought Wang Gui and Anna together.
." This man introduced himself hurriedly.
"Hello!" He Xin smiled and shook hands with him.
At this moment, he finally remembered that he had heard Cheng Qiang mention it before. The guy in front of him was introduced by Teng Huatao. His family had some background and he was a rich second generation. He studied abroad in the early 1980s. I heard that he went to a high school abroad.
, university. Now, like the screenwriter Liuliu, he can also be regarded as an overseas Chinese.
This guy likes acting, but couldn't find any acting abroad, so he returned to China to look for opportunities. Although he didn't come from a major, he was very capable in acting. In addition, he had Tenghua Tong's recommendation. Cheng Qiang gave him this opportunity.
He arranged a relatively important supporting role. Otherwise, he would not be here today.
He Xin thought that it would be enough to shake hands and say hello to get acquainted. After all, it was the first time they met and they were not familiar with each other.
As a result, this guy held his hand tightly with both hands and kept chattering: "Director He, really, I really like your dramas. I have watched every movie and TV series you have acted in.
I still have a collection of DVDs at home. When I have nothing to do, I take them out to watch and ponder your performance. It is no exaggeration to say that you are my teacher in learning acting!"
"Oh, that's too serious, that's too serious, Mr. Feng, I don't dare to take it seriously." He Xin responded with a smile, and tried to pull his hand back with a vague force, but it didn't move at all, and he was stunned and couldn't pull it back.
Maybe the other party was really excited and didn't feel it at all. He still held his hand and said, "It's not an exaggeration at all. I like your role as Lan Yu the most, especially the look in your eyes when facing Defending Dong.
It's really amazing. I can't imitate it no matter how hard I try. Director He, I really hope I have the opportunity to give you some advice..."
I like Lan Yu... He even came back from abroad... He still grabs his hand and refuses to let go...
He Xin subconsciously stirred and almost used brute force to break his hand out of the opponent's hand.
Feng Jiayi was taken aback for a moment, but he reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Director He, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's mainly because I'm so excited to see you! It's so abrupt, so abrupt!"
Seeing his appearance, He Xin felt that this guy was either pretending, or that he might be a little too sensitive. After all, there are still very few people who are similar to this kind of trendy people in China these days, so it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed.
"Uh, Mr. Feng..."
Just when he didn't know what to say, he saw Jiang Qinqin walking over and shouted: "Teacher He!"
"Oh, Teacher Jiang!"
He Xin responded quickly and at the same time looked at Feng Jiayi.
This guy was quite smart at this time, and he quickly said: "Oh, Director He, Teacher Jiang, then I won't bother you."
Looking at Feng Jiayi's leaving figure, Jiang Qinqin approached him and chuckled: "This man is quite humorous."
Although this Feng Jiayi was a bit presumptuous, she was still an actor in the crew after all. It was not good to talk about others behind their backs. She did not respond, but nodded to Jiang Qinqin formally and said hello: "Teacher Jiang, thank you for your hard work!"
Jiang Qinqin glanced at him with obvious annoyance, stretched out her little hand to shake his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. He, you are too polite. I think this form of script reading is very good. The last script reading was for the filming of "
"Qiao Family Courtyard", I really miss it."
Speaking of the second half of the sentence, her tone became obviously emotional.
Facing her big, watery eyes, He Xin really didn't dare to look directly at her, especially in such a large public place. He looked away and said perfunctorily: "Yeah, it's been almost two years in the blink of an eye."
Jiang Qinqin felt a little unhappy at his deliberate alienation and cowardice. But in fact, she also understood He Xin's temper and character. Even if they were alone together, the guy would be just as cowardly.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at the other person, and then said: "Hey, I heard that your guy will also go to Wuhan with our crew?"
"Yes, she accepted a movie and went there to experience life in advance. Then, when the time comes, uh..."
He Xin wanted to remind Jiang Qinqin, but he didn't know how to say it for a moment, but his hesitant attitude seemed to convey his meaning to the other party.
With Jiang Qinqin's intelligence, how could she not understand what he meant, but she deliberately pretended to be stupid, tilted her head and asked curiously: "It's a movie, and your company also invested in it?"
"Yes, it's just a low-budget art film."
He obviously tried hard to emphasize the word "low cost" in his tone.
Jiang Qinqin curled her lips secretly, but still pretended not to understand on the surface and said with a sweet smile: "I really envy that person in your family. She has a boyfriend to support her if she wants to make a movie. Teacher He, if you want to make a movie in the future,
If you still have this opportunity, can you consider me?"
"Ah? Oh, I'll definitely have the chance!"
He could only laugh in embarrassment, and at the same time he despised his own integrity and stance. In the final analysis, it was all his fault. Maybe this is a common problem among men. In their bones, they are always full of all kinds of fantasies about beautiful things.
