On July 26, the TV series "The Gunshots of the Secret Service" directed by Uncle Gao Qun and adapted from the movie of the same name premiered.
Of course I want to support Lao Gao's TV series, but He Xin wants to see the performance of the male lead Xie Junhao in it. This actor from Hong Kong is really different from the Hong Kong stars he has seen and heard on weekdays. He is very low-key, although he is also very low-key.
He has appeared in many film and television dramas, but most of the time he is obsessed with stage performances.
He Xin has known him for a long time. When "Lan Yu" was shortlisted for the Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Award, when he went to Hong Kong to attend the award ceremony, he played the second male lead in the TV series "Married to the Wrong Mom" being directed by Kwan Jin-peng.
Although it was just a quick meeting, He Xin was still very impressed. One of the main reasons was that He Xin had won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with "Thirteen Sons of the South China Sea" as early as the 1990s. This was a new Golden Horse Award winner for him at that time.
, the other party can be considered an old-timer.
Secondly, at first glance, this man looked a bit like Leslie Cheung, but compared to Leslie Cheung's gentleness, his temperament seemed to be sharper. At that time, He Xin felt that it would be particularly suitable for him to play the kind of gloomy, cunning, and cruel villain.
No, in this TV series directed by Lao Gao, Zhang Zhongnian, the commander of the Military Shanghai Station played by him, is such a character, and He Xin is looking forward to his performance.
As a result, I was very disappointed after watching the first episode. It was not the fault of the actors. The performances of both Xie Junhao and Liu Weiwei, the tough female lead in the Lao Gao TV series, were above the standard. But the plot really made people feel childish.
It's ridiculous, and all the military agents in it are dressed in extremely stylish black leather trench coats, plus black leather gloves. They are even more Gestapo than Gestapo, which is really embarrassing.
He looked at his girlfriend who was sitting next to him and watching TV with him. If he had watched this kind of mentally retarded TV show, his girlfriend would have complained and changed the channel. But today she was silent.
She was obviously looking at the TV screen, but if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are actually unfocused. In other words, she didn't pay attention to what was on the TV at all, she just sat there in a daze.
This situation has not happened for a day or two. She has been in this state since she came back from Wuhan in the middle of the month. At first, He Xin was puzzled. Ask her, she always looks very irritable. Later, he could only put it down
Chu Qing and Xiao Mo came over and asked him carefully.
After getting the answer, he was stunned for a long time before shaking his head with a wry smile. No wonder his girlfriend's state gave him a feeling of déjà vu. In a sense, this was the result of her experience of life. This feeling was very
It's amazing, once you enter the state, there is something in your heart that is rising every day, waiting to be released. Once this feeling is right, then you are that character, not that the character is just your performance.
It's just that he feels that his girlfriend's feelings are a little too early, or that he has entered the state too early. "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" will not be launched for more than half a month, and he is really afraid that his girlfriend will suffer from something wrong.
In the past few days, he tried various ways to distract his girlfriend, such as dragging her up in the morning and going out for a run with him. At first, she was reluctant, but after running once, she even ran.
She couldn't run less than a thousand meters, but in the next few days she voluntarily went out for a run with him, and it was obvious that even though she couldn't run, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Ask her, and the answer is simple. Working with a shoulder pole requires physical strength. She found that her physical fitness is seriously insufficient. This is not possible, and she must exercise.
After a few days of morning jogging, the effect was indeed quite obvious. At least his girlfriend's energy level improved a lot, which also made He Xin breathe a sigh of relief.
But these are secondary. In fact, the most unbearable thing for him is that his girlfriend seems to be a different person when making love. The previous flattery, initiative, and aggressiveness are all gone now, and she is just like a dead person.
Almost like a fish. Even at the critical moment, she gritted her teeth desperately, and at most she could only hum twice, and it was a very suppressed hum. It made him feel boring and almost had a physical disorder.
At this moment, he saw his girlfriend was in a daze again, so he quickly interrupted: "Eat some fruit, I'll cut a melon."
Cheng Hao shook his head, yawned, stood up and said, "I'm sleepy, let's go to bed first."
"It's only around eight o'clock..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw his girlfriend walking towards the bedroom gently and without a trace of emotion.
He Xin could only sigh. But then he thought about it, going to bed early and getting up early, and running every morning would at least be very good for his girlfriend's health.
His girlfriend went to bed early, and the TV was boring. Without any sleepiness, he felt like he had nothing to do for a while.
There is a very bloated script under the coffee table, which is the script of "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart". He often sees his girlfriend holding this script and drawing on it when she has nothing to do.
He picked it up and flipped through it, and saw that many of the lines in it were marked with colored markers, and there were various thoughts next to them.
He was curious for a moment and looked at it carefully with a kind of scrutiny.
"She may have been born in an environment where every dollar must be counted and every dollar must be repaid. This not only cultivated her attitude of working hard for a small reward, but also gave her the mentality of a petty citizen who cares about petty profits. She could not do anything.
I sympathize with the hard work of the porters, but I can only judge others by myself. I am disgusted that they are not as hard-working as me, with genuine goods, fair prices, and clear money. I am even more disgusted that they raise prices on the spot, are lazy and irresponsible, and are greedy for their own petty advantages."
"She could feel the change in her husband from kneeling down and swearing to be good to her to being uncooperative and cold-blooded. However, her mind seemed to have not changed, and she was very angry and aggrieved. But she could not feel the impact of her superiority and strong attitude on her husband.
The grievances, frustrations and constant escape brought about. So she strongly opposed Xiaojing’s warning.”
"She unconsciously believed her husband's excuses for refusing sex or perfunctory because the guy wasn't good enough or he had to move the next day, until she discovered her husband's eagerness and generosity when he was in love with his lover.
The sound was rippling, and after comparison, I realized my deep loss and low self-esteem."
"She took her son into consideration and did not catch him in bed. She chose to call the police in the hope that she could easily get her cheating husband back through a third party. However, she failed to consider the harm this might cause to her husband's career and emotions..."
Almost every paragraph had such annotations, which were so densely packed that the number of words in the script was almost the same. He sat there for more than an hour without realizing it before he turned to the last page.
Suddenly, he realized that his girlfriend was much harder working and smarter than he thought. On the other hand, he had really been slacking off during this period.
Well, he decided that starting from tomorrow, he will study the character of Ma Xuewu carefully. Even if there are not many scenes, he must keep up with the rhythm and try his best to make the most perfect green leaf.
He got up and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, then walked quietly into the bedroom. Then under the weak light of the night light, he saw that his girlfriend was wearing a towel and quilt, with her head tilted slightly, and she had already fallen asleep.
He lay silently next to her with his left hand around her waist, and at the same time pressed it against the smooth black hair. The warmth of her body temperature wrapped in the familiar fragrance made his heart sway.
The next second, his lips kissed her neck, and his hands slipped into the collar.
"Don't make trouble, I'm sleepy!" She snorted.
He did not stop, but intensified the kiss and slowly untied the moon-white nightgown.
"Oh, I don't want to do it!"
She suddenly became very irritable and shook her shoulders hard.
He had no choice but to let go of his hand, turned over, and lay flat on his back, staring at the ceiling. He was inevitably a little depressed. He was rarely in a good mood, but unfortunately his girlfriend was not in tune with him.
But before he could relieve his depressed mood, he saw his girlfriend turned over, resting her head on his chest, holding his waist with her hands, and straddling one leg on his thigh, twisting
He found the most comfortable position with his body and began to snore softly in the blink of an eye.
"ha!"
He Xin raised his head and looked at her face with closed eyes and frowning slightly. He couldn't help but chuckle. After looking at it for a while, he put his head down and closed his eyes.
"Hello, Moto..."
It seemed that not long after I fell asleep, the cell phone placed on the bedside table suddenly started ringing.
He reached out to grab the phone and stopped the ringing first, then looked at the phone screen with sleepy eyes.
It was already two o'clock in the morning. Xiao Douding called at this time, which immediately made his heart tighten.
"Who is it?"
My girlfriend was obviously woken up too.
"It's Xiao Hu. There must be something wrong with her calling here right now."
He said and answered the phone: "Hello..."
But when he just fed him, he heard the excited voice of Little Douding on the other end of the phone: "Boss, it's announced! It's announced!"
He didn't react for a moment and said blankly: "What was announced?"
At this time, Xiao Douding didn't bother to argue with him at all, and said very loudly: "Venice, Venice Film Festival! The film festival organizing committee just held a press conference in Rome to announce that our "Tale of Two Donkeys" has been shortlisted.
Main competition unit. Boss, this is the main competition unit!"
"real?"
He Xin then remembered that July 26th was when the shortlist of the 64th Venice International Film Festival was announced. During this period, he was hanging around his girlfriend almost every day, and he actually forgot about such a big thing.
He sent a copy of "A Tale of Two Donkeys" early in the morning. According to the feedback from the film selector, it is basically no problem to be shortlisted. Don't forget that the current chairman of the Venice Film Festival has lived in China for many years and has always been interested in Chinese.
Marco Müller, whose film I have a great fondness for, and the chairman of the jury for this year’s film festival is the National Master!
Although it is basically not a problem to be shortlisted, in addition to the main competition unit and the horizon unit of the competition category, the Venice Film Festival also has six units, including non-competition units, future golden lion units, experimental units, etc.
Of course, He Xin hopes to be shortlisted for the main competition unit with the greatest impact or the sub-level Horizon unit. However, his confidence in being shortlisted for the main competition unit is slightly insufficient. After all, the company's two previous works directed by Ning Hao, "Incense", were shortlisted.
Before the restructuring, the predecessor of the Horizon Section was the "Upstream Section"; "Green Grass" was shortlisted for the Forum Section in Berlin, but failed to enter the main competition section.
So if "Tale of Two Donkeys" can be shortlisted for the Horizon category this time, he will be very satisfied. He really didn't expect that it would be shortlisted for the main competition section.
"Of course it is true! I am directly connected to the Internet and watching the live broadcast, but the news on the domestic website may have been sent out now. You can check it online yourself. There are four Chinese-language films shortlisted this time, except for our "Double Donkeys"
"The Sun Also Rises" by Jiang Wen, "Lust, Caution" by Li Eucalyptus and "Thank You, Love God" by Wanwan director Li Kangsheng..."
Halfway through, Xiao Douding suddenly exclaimed: "Chief Jia's "Umbrella" and... uh, another director named Du Haibin's "Umbrella" were shortlisted for the documentary category of the Horizon section... Wow
!The closing film of the film festival is actually "Sanchakou", Chinese films are really going to steal the show this time."
Compared with this year's Cannes Film Festival, only "Blueberry Nights", a co-production between Hong Kong and France directed by Wang Jiawei, was not a Chinese film, but a film with some Chinese elements, and it failed. This time the Venice film
An unprecedented four Chinese-language films have been shortlisted for the main competition, which is the first time in the history of the three major European festivals.
He hurriedly got out of bed, holding the phone and listening to the live broadcast of the conference translated by Xiao Douding. He didn't even bother to put on his slippers and ran out with bare feet.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing that he was busy with his work, his girlfriend also sat up on the bed.
""A Tale of Two Donkeys" was shortlisted for the main competition in Venice. I have to go online and check it out..."
