On the plane, He Xin read the script that Jiang Wenli had written for three years.
This is a story about family love and growth. It is a script with the nature of Jiang Wenli's autobiography, and the narrative is very personal.
Jiang Wenli asked him to guest play the role of a physical education teacher, which may have been her first crush when she was a girl.
How should I put it? The first thing I felt after reading the whole story of He Xin was that it was pretentious.
Although He Xin is born in the 1980s in this life, as a person born in the 1970s in his previous life, he has a relatively clear understanding of the people and things that happened in that era. Compared with most people of that era, the characters in the story are
The protagonist at least has enough food and clothing, and can go to school and practice gymnastics. He is already very happy.
To describe it in layman's terms, this is the product of a typical older literary young woman suffering from youthful illness. In a sense, it is similar to Teacher Yu's "Love Has an Afterlife" which he just finished filming at the beginning of the year.
But having said that, this script also takes place in the 1960s and 1970s, but it does not have the ambition to express a certain narrative like "Peacock" and "The Beginning of Spring" directed by her husband Gu Changwei. It is just a bland story.
The story is better than the fact that the emotions revealed in the words are very sincere.
At the same time, Jiang Wenli is not as ambitious as Teacher Yu. She insists on making a big production of her dreams, which is a small production with an investment of several million.
Even if there is no domestic market for this kind of literary and artistic film, it is very suitable for participating in overseas exhibitions and defrauding foreigners of their money. Since Jiang Wenli took the initiative to come to the door, He Xin had nothing to say. Not only did he readily agree, but he also took the initiative
agreed to make a free guest appearance.
At around 11 o'clock, the plane landed at Hongqiao Airport. The organizer then went directly to the designated hotel to rest. He Xin and his assistant Shen Ming hailed a taxi and went to his house to have a look.
This is the only common property between He Xin and his girlfriend. The girlfriend is very considerate and gave special instructions before coming here. The house here has been taken care of by Xu Jin, Cheng Hao’s former driver, and hourly workers are arranged to clean it every week.
It is ventilated and the house is very clean, but no one has lived there for a long time, so it seems unpopular.
In fact, since Cheng Hao came to the capital for development, this house has been almost useless. Even if he comes to live here occasionally, it doesn't last long. He Xin is thinking about renting it out with his girlfriend after returning, and treating it as a place.
Real estate investment.
Although He Xin has been in the capital since he was born again, and it has been almost ten years in the blink of an eye, and his work and his entire circle of friends are also in the capital. But to be honest, he doesn't like this city from the bottom of his heart. It's windy and sandy in spring.
It's hot in summer, smoggy in autumn, and cold in winter.
He has always thought about setting up his family in Qingdao after getting married, facing the sea and blooming flowers in spring. Moreover, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother are getting older, so they are close to each other and have someone to take care of them.
After watching it in the house, he also took a video with the latest model of Apple mobile phone and took it back to show to his girlfriend.
That’s right, the latest generation of Apple smartphones came out as early as last year. He Xin’s one was a parallel import brought from Hong Kong by a friend. Unfortunately, the current domestic 2G network is still a scam, the speed is too slow, and many of them are commonly used by later generations.
There is no app at all. At most, I can connect to QQ and read some news.
…
"Boss, the award ceremony starts at 7:30. There is also a donation event before the ceremony. How much should we donate?"
Because a major disaster just happened in Southwest China last month, the red carpet ceremony of this TV Festival was cancelled. In addition, every event requires a donation event. Everyone has the ability and money to contribute to tide over the difficulties.
He Xin himself has donated a lot before, including in the name of the company.
"Have you asked other companies? We are not stingy, but we don't want to be too outstanding."
"After asking, they are basically in the range of 500,000 to 1 million. Of course, there are also big companies that donate more."
"Then let's donate one million." He Xin said thoughtfully.
"One million? Isn't that too much? We are just a small company. Besides, we have already donated 600,000 yuan in the past two times."
"Well……"
To be honest, He Xin also felt a little sad for having donated so much real money, but when he thought of the tragic disaster over there, he felt panicked for a while, shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's just one million.
Well, we should also do our part."
"Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say. Oh, by the way, Director Liu Jiang came here just now and said he would come back later."
"Oh, I know, he called me before."
As he said that, He Xin raised his head and saw Xiao Douding frowning and smiling: "Okay, don't put on a bad face. Since someone has a plan, let's not force others to make things difficult."
The project company for a TV series to be synchronized with "The Wind" has already been approved. From the beginning, the director was targeted at Jiang Wei, the director of "Latent". But Jiang Wei, a university teacher, always has a bit of a literati in his heart, and he doesn't like this film.
As a derivative of the movie "The Wind".
Xiao Douding had no choice but to fall back and find Liu Jiang, who had just finished filming "Let's Go". Although Liu Jiang is just a rookie in movies, he has made achievements in TV dramas, especially last year's "Miaopu" directed by Xin Baiqing.
Starring in the spy film "Snow Wolf" received a lot of praise.
He originally thought it would be a matter of course. After all, the movie "Let's Go" was a great help to him. But Liu Jiang still declined because he had a project at hand. This made Xiao Douding very unhappy after being hit with two mistakes in a row. Jiang
Well, forget it, he is a university teacher after all, and the success of "Latent" has helped the company make a lot of money. It seems that the company owes him a favor.
In comparison, Liu Jiang seems a bit dishonest.
However, Liu Jiang also called He Xin afterwards to explain the matter. The main reason was that the script he was currently preparing was also a spy movie and there was a conflict in subject matter.
He Xin quite understands this. After all, "Insidious" immediately made the spy movie genre popular after its hit, just like "Bright Sword" made the anti-Japanese drama popular. Now many film and television companies have followed suit.
This time Liu Jiang called and asked him to meet. Although he didn't say it clearly, he could tell that the general meaning was that Liu Jiang was very confident in the book he had on hand and wanted to show it to him first, which was a bit of a return of favor.
the meaning of.
In fact, He Xin is not very optimistic about the adaptation of "The Sound of the Wind" into a TV series. Otherwise, "The Sound of the Wind" is just a novella, and its volume is too small. If it is to be adapted into a TV series, it will inevitably add a lot of content, which is not easy to grasp.
Well, after all, "Latent" is just a special case.
Moreover, He Xin also feels that the two screenwriters Xiaodouding has hired to compile scripts are not very reliable. One is Wang Hailin and the other is Yan Gang. Speaking of which, these two guys are his senior brothers, both graduated from the drama department of China National Theater.
.Especially Wang Hailin. When he was preparing to adapt the script of "Latent", someone introduced it to him, but he didn't like it at that time.
Wang Hailin and Yan Gang are classmates. They are also old partners in screenwriting. They have produced "The Little Master of China" and "Star Production", which are either costume comedies or bloody dramas that dig into the secrets of the entertainment industry.
To be honest, he really doesn't like him very much.
He Xin made an appointment with Liu Jiang to meet at a coffee shop opposite the hotel. The main reason was that the hotel they were staying in was designated by the organizer. There were many reporters cruising around in various public places in the hotel chasing interviewers. When He Xin just entered the door
It's quite annoying to be surrounded by a bunch of reporters.
He saw that the time was almost up and went there in advance. Originally, he wanted to avoid the reporters and sneak out through the back door, but as soon as he got out of the elevator, he was caught by the reporters waiting there.
"Congratulations, "Latent" has won all the nominations this time. Which award do you most hope to win?"
"He Xin, this time you and Zhang Guoli, Liu Peiqi, Huang Lei, and Li Guangjie are nominated for Best Actor at the same time. Are you confident that you will win the title of "The Greatest Actor"?
"He Xin, may I ask..."
He had to use his own words to deal with it: "If the Shanghai TV Festival sets up more awards, I hope "Insidious" can win more!"
"What kind of confidence? No, not at all. My attitude is very clear. I have always believed that awards are a happy game for people in the industry. Whether you win or not, you should participate with a positive attitude."
"Are you disappointed if you don't win the award? Of course not. We have received all the nominations. This is the greatest affirmation for the drama "Insidious"..."
"Okay, okay, I still have something to do, I'm really sorry!"
Although He Xin is usually reluctant to accept interviews, his attitude towards reporters is quite good. At least he is not like other big-name celebrities who have bodyguards to clear the way, shouting in front of others, and being domineering.
When he walked into the cafe, the waiter who greeted him at the door brightened up when he saw him. However, he might have seen many celebrities during the TV Festival, so the waiter didn't make a fuss. After asking a few more questions, he helped him guide him diligently.
Go to a relatively quiet seat.
Because it was a working day and in the afternoon, there were not many customers in the cafe. But just when he was about to sit down, he heard a familiar voice next to him shouting: "Hey, new brother!"
When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw Cherry with a smile on her face.
"cherry!"
He said hello, and at this time the man sitting opposite Cherry also turned his head and looked at each other.
"Uh, Sister Qinqin! Are you guys getting together like this?"
Cherry smiled and answered first: "Brother Xin, don't you know, we are all Chongqing girls!"
Only then did He Xin remember that Cherry seemed to be from Chongqing. She was originally an actress in Kong Zheng, and she had not been signed to Sister Hong's company for a long time, so He Xin didn't know her well yet.
"What about you?" Jiang Qinqin looked at him and said with a smile.
"Oh, I made an appointment to meet someone. It's too noisy over there in the hotel. Just find your way here."
"So are we. Sister Qinqin and I just went shopping at Yaohan and came here to rest. Hey, new brother, since the person you made an appointment hasn't arrived yet, just sit with us." Cherry.
