Sanya is indeed a good place, especially in winter. The climate is pleasant and comfortable. Compared with the north, it is like heaven and earth. It is no wonder that people from the Northeast can be seen everywhere here.
After the award ceremony, there was a buffet reception. The five-star hotel in Yalong Bay brought together top domestic filmmakers. The standard and class of the reception were evident.
But everyone's attention is obviously not on the food. They are usually very busy. It is a rare opportunity to hook up and make friends as needed, and then get together in twos and threes to chat privately.
At He Xin's current level, there is no need to take the initiative. Someone will naturally come over to say hello and get close to him. He has just dealt with a few overt and covert attempts to test cooperation intentions. In fact, he is a director who wants to attract investment from Xin Hao Media. Director Chen actually brought his wife to the meeting.
I took the initiative to come over and chat with him for a few words. Although it was just a casual conversation, Director Chen's arrogant expression clearly told you that it was a huge honor for me to come and talk to you in person.
After all, it was his daughter-in-law Chen Hong who knew how to be a good person and solemnly expressed her gratitude to him for helping to promote "The Orphan of Zhao" on Weibo during the last trip back.
After all, as a big V on Weibo with nearly 30 million fans, this kind of promotion is not something you can just send out casually. It requires money, and it is not just money. It also depends on the mood of the big V. Cheng
Fortunately, I posted two movie tickets for "The Orphan of Zhao" last time. No nonsense, just support with action. It is definitely very generous.
As soon as Director Chen and his wife left, He Xin took advantage of the gap to grab a bite. To be honest, the seafood here is really good. The weather is good and the food is good. He really wants to stay in Sanya for a few more days.
However, leaving my wife and daughter at home to enjoy it alone makes me feel uncomfortable and even guilty. And since I had my daughter, I have a concern in my heart and want to be with my daughter all the time.
, even this trip to Sanya was in a hurry. I booked a flight ticket back to Beijing for the next day early in the morning.
At this moment, He Xin was still thinking about it while eating. He didn't know much about the Directors Guild before. This time he came to attend the Directors Guild's annual awards ceremony and suddenly discovered something very interesting.
The Directors Association has been in its fourth term since its inception. During the first and second term, all the national teachers were vice-presidents. Even the current president Huang Jianxin only became the vice-president in the second term.
Director Chen, who has won the only Palme d'Or for a Chinese-language film, is fully qualified to be the vice president, but he is not.
At the beginning of the third term, the fourth-generation directors completely withdrew from the leadership of the Directors Guild, and Huang Jianxin became the president. The national director actually also withdrew from the leadership along with all the fourth-generation directors. He was not even an executive committee member, but only remained.
Qualifications of a Member.
The National Preceptor withdrew, so Director Chen suddenly became the number one vice-president. It can be understood that Director Chen was unwilling to be inferior to the National Preceptor before, and he will definitely not be able to become the president in the future, because the president needs to be politically reliable.
Yes, then the first vice president is enough to show his strong character.
Just as he was making random guesses, laughter came from beside him: "Wow! Uncle He, you have a really good appetite!"
He Xin looked back and smiled: "Stupid!"
When the other party heard this, he immediately stamped his feet and said coquettishly: "Uncle He, can you please speak a second time?"
He Xin really likes the little girl in front of him. The main reason is that the little girl has a great personality, is very obedient, and even has a somewhat flattering personality. Unlike some other second-generation celebrities who rely on their parents to become domineering in the industry.
The most obvious example is Nian Gengyao's son. He starred as the young Emperor Wu of Han in "Emperor of Han Dynasty" as soon as he debuted, and then starred in a series of adaptations such as "No. 51 Military Station" and "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp".
The main theme of the TV series, and also acted as the sole director of CCTV's new year's drama "Walking to the West Exit". The starting point is very high, and the young man is also very talented. Unfortunately, he is too arrogant, his professional ability has not improved, and his temper is not small. In the end, he was reduced to a sideshow.
The leader of the Sword Cult has only a handful of good cards. He is now a lot older and can only participate in some very low variety talent shows.
"Okay, Chunchun! Do you want some? The lobster is very good!" He Xin said with a smile.
This girl seems to be a bit richer than the last time we met. She is very similar to her aunt, who has a very voluptuous physique that is easy to gain weight.
"Hehe, Teacher He, you eat slowly, I'll forget it." The little fat girl waved her hands hurriedly.
"Where is your aunt?"
"My aunt is chatting with Aunt Xu Fan and Aunt Liang Jing outside."
Oh, they are all the main members of the wives group in the industry.
This time, Jiang Wenli, as the director of "We'll See You in Heaven," was also nominated for the Screenwriter of the Year and Director of the Year Awards from the Directors Guild. Unfortunately, she missed out on winning the awards. However, she has a good attitude. It would be great if this highly personal film can be made.
I am very satisfied. As for being shortlisted, winning the award is just the icing on the cake.
Speaking of which, Jiang Wenli really treats her niece like her own daughter and takes her with her wherever she goes. The little girl's development in the entertainment industry has also been smooth. She has been acting with her aunt since she was a child, and she was able to play the leading female role in her sophomore year. She has been filming in the past two years.
There are many film and television dramas, a good resource.
"What have you been busy with lately? Why didn't you come to drink full moon wine with your aunt and uncle last time?"
"What's more, Uncle He, you didn't invite me, how could I have the nerve to come!" The little fat girl pouted.
"Hey, haven't you been eating and drinking with my aunt?"
"Oh, Uncle He, I've graduated from college now, but you still think I'm a child!" The little fat girl stamped her feet and coquettishly, like her aunt, who was particularly good at cooing.
Yes, when we first met nine years ago, Ma Chun was just a little girl who had just entered junior high school. Now she has graduated from college in the blink of an eye. Think about it, when Cheng Hao was twenty-two years old, she had already
That's what he did.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about it. I will definitely post it officially for you next time."
He Xin smiled and said hello to her, and then asked casually: "What are you busy with recently? Are you still filming?"
"Well, I just finished filming a movie."
"Hey, what movie is it?"
"It is a work by a new director, telling the story of youth, growth and rock music." Ma Chun said.
"You still like rock music?"
"Yeah, I really like it!" the little girl nodded heavily.
Oh, no wonder later generations will find the lead singer of a rock band as their boyfriend.
"Uncle He, do you like rock music?" the little girl asked him again, tilting her head.
"dislike!"
"why?"
"Because those who play rock music don't look like good people, don't you think?"
"..."
Ma Chun was confused by his question, and after a while he said with a puzzled look on his face: "Yes, but I think they are all pretty cool!"
To be honest, even though Ma Chun is already twenty-two years old, she may have been well protected by her mother since childhood and her aunt took care of her. Everything went smoothly and she is still a very simple girl.
Instead of being polite to others, He Xin was still willing to chat with her.
"Xiao He!"
But not long after, someone came over to say hello.
"Hey, Teacher Xue, congratulations!"
Xue Xiaolu grinned as big as a flower. She had an average appearance and a relatively big mouth, but when she smiled she showed big white teeth, which made her look particularly friendly. Moreover, she was nearly forty years old and tall, and she still maintained a good figure.
Well, these are all plus points for a woman, and she can be regarded as one of the few beautiful directors in the industry. But Jiang Wei didn't come this time, and walking with her was another director from the Literature Department of the Film School.
Teacher Cao Baoping.
"Teacher Cao!"
He Xin nodded again to Cao Baoping.
"Isn't it the same for you? You won another Best Actor Award. Congratulations!"
Xue Xiaolu laughed, his eyes fell on Ma Chun who was standing next to her, and asked: "Is this Wen Li's niece?"
When she was studying in the Department of Literature at Nortel, she was only one class below Jiang Wenli in the Department of Acting, so she was considered a classmate.
"Yes, her name is Ma Chun, a young actor." He Xin introduced her.
Hearing He Xin's introduction, Ma Chun was taken aback for a moment. She was used to people always calling her "Jiang Wenli's niece", but this was the first time she heard someone introduce herself as a young actor in a serious way. She couldn't help but feel deeply.
He glanced deeply at He Xin.
Immediately, he bowed politely towards Xue Xiaolu and Cao Baoping and shouted: "Hello, Teacher Xue! Hello, Teacher Cao!"
"Okay, okay! When I saw you last time, you were still a little girl. You have grown so big in a blink of an eye, and I don't even dare to recognize you." Xue Xiaolu shook hands with Xiao Ma enthusiastically.
Cao Baoping nodded reservedly. He has always been a serious person.
Ma Chun was well-behaved and sensible. After saying hello, he said to He Xin: "Uncle He, you guys chat, I'm going to find my aunt."
Watching the girl leave, Xue Xiaolu joked: "Xiao He, I didn't expect you to be my uncle!"
"When we met before, she was still young, and I was older, so we became uncle." He Xin also said with a helpless expression.
"Don't mention it. When I first met you, you did not look consistent with your actual age. But after so many years, you don't seem to have changed at all. You have always looked like this, but you look younger."
"Oh, Teacher Xue, I'm so happy you said that..."
After chatting and joking for a while, Xue Xiaolu showed an apologetic expression and said: "Xiao He, I'm sorry about what happened last time!"
What happened last time was naturally referring to when He Xin asked her to direct "Du Lala". As a result, between "Ocean Paradise" and "Du Lala", she chose "Ocean Paradise".
Although "Ocean Paradise" is a script she has prepared for more than ten years, and Li Lianlian has joined the team, this time she also won the annual screenwriter award from the Directors Guild. But compared to the box office success of "Du Lala", at this time
It’s hard for Xue Xiaolu to say that he doesn’t regret it.
He Xin hurriedly said: "No, no, Teacher Xue, in fact, I have always wanted to cooperate with you."
When Xue Xiaolu was originally asked to direct "Du Lala", he was worried that male directors would not be able to accurately grasp commercial films with female themes. Later, he approached Chen Kexin, and "Du Lala" had a box office of more than 200 million. He also thought about it, if he let
Director Xue Xiaolu might not have such a high box office.
Xue Xiaolu came here just to say hello. When he heard what He Xin said, he felt moved in his heart and said with a smile: "Of course I can't wait to cooperate with such a great actor like you."
He Xin was still thinking about her book "Beijing Meets Seattle" and immediately climbed up the stick and said: "Then if you have a new book in the future, we can definitely cooperate."
At this time, Cao Baoping, who had been standing nearby without speaking, suddenly interrupted: "Xiao He, does your company still lack scripts now?"
"Well, it's missing, of course it's missing."
He Xin didn't understand what he meant for a while, because the other party's partner has always been Huayi Brothers, and as a senior director and screenwriter, his works have always been very popular with producers, so it is unlikely to attract investment.
Cao Baoping pushed up his glasses and said seriously: "I saw a crime-themed novel in Harvest magazine before. The subject matter is very novel and very good, and it is very suitable for adapting into a movie. Later I contacted the author and found out that this
The film and television rights of this novel have been acquired by your company. I just want to ask if you have started adapting this novel? Or do you have any intention to transfer it?"
"..."
He Xin was stunned for a moment. He had no memory of any crime-themed novel at all. He couldn't help but said: "Teacher Cao, could you please tell me what the name of this novel is?"
"Sunspot! The author's pen name is Xu Yigua, and she is a female writer named Hu Jian."
"Uh... Teacher Cao, I'm sorry, I really don't know about this matter. So, I'll ask you later." He Xin said, inevitably a little embarrassed.
He Lirong has always been in charge of the company's acquisition of novel copyrights. Since Qijin was born, his mind has not been on work and he basically only goes to the company every two or three days. What Cao Baoping said made his mind go blank.
"That's it..."
Cao Baoping frowned and said hurriedly: "Xiao He, if your company has no such plan for the time being, can you transfer the copyright to me?"
Looking at the other party's eager expression, He Xin could only smile bitterly and said: "Teacher Cao, I really don't know about this matter. But don't worry, I will ask what happened when I go back, and I will give you an answer later.
.”
"Uh... Okay, then I'll just wait for the good news!"
Cao Baoping was very straightforward. After talking about this matter, he turned around and left. It seemed that this was the reason why he came here.
Xue Xiaolu looked at his back and had to apologize again: "I'm sorry, Xiao He, Teacher Cao has such a temper."
In fact, He Xin and Cao Baoping are just acquaintances, not very familiar with each other. It's not surprising, after all, there are everyone in the circle. Artists, the most important thing is to have character, temper, and independence. Maybe some are just for the sake of it.
Pretending, but there are people like this.
"it's okay no problem."
He Xin shook his head hurriedly, then changed the topic and said: "By the way, Teacher Xue, have you finished filming Teacher Jiang Wei's "Borrowing a Gun"?"
"The filming is finished, and it may be broadcast after the New Year."
"Really? I'm particularly looking forward to Teacher Jiang Wei's works..."
