Chapter 846: Ning Hao, who is seriously stimulated
In the end, Bald Xu shyly said that he had established a company mainly to coordinate with the upcoming "Journey to Thailand: Lost in Thailand".
In fact, it has gradually become a trend for actors to set up studios or companies. In addition to reasonable tax avoidance factors, they often also participate in the production of film and television dramas. This is the case for Xu Guangtou. It does not mean that he is ready to stand on his own.
portal.
Although He Xin was wary of Xu Guangtou at first, after getting along with him for so many years, he found that Xu Guangtou was shrewd and smart, and he was a very decent person. At least he was better than those people who looked generous on the surface but didn't mean what they said.
People are much stronger.
For example, he really doesn't accept movies for money. Including Cheng Er's previous "Criminal", "The Third Man", and Yang Qing's "Nightclub", they only received a nominal salary.
He first became famous with "Spring Scenes of Pigs" and "Li Wei as an Official". After becoming popular, he was not ungrateful. Last year, he played the movie "Ouchi Xiaoshou" under the banner of "Li Wei as an Official 3".
It was a bad drama, but when faced with Hainan Zhouyi's invitation, he still chose to star in it, and he didn't do it in a perfunctory manner.
In short, Bald Xu is probably a shrewd, serious, generous, and far-sighted person. Such a partner is actually very rare to find.
It's just that at today's celebration banquet, Ning Hao behaved a little abnormally. Although this guy usually likes to make jokes and make jokes, he was obviously a little too excited. He dragged Xu Guangtou and drank heavily, and even Xu Guangtou later became
Even if you hide, this guy won't let you go.
Not only He Xin saw it, but everyone including Xu Guangtou also knew it.
how to say?
You can say that he lost his temper because of jealousy and inner imbalance, or that he was using this to vent his stress.
Once upon a time, the "Crazy" series came out. "Stone" was worth 96 million, and "Racing" was worth 160 million. He became the fourth person to join the "Billion Dollar Director Club" after Guo Shi, Feng Xiaogang, and Director Chen, and was praised by the outside world as "
A "genius director", he became famous all at once.
But it has only been a few years, and the so-called directors who have grossed over 100 million yuan are no longer valuable. In last year’s Lunar New Year festival alone and this year’s Spring Festival festival, more than a dozen domestic films were released, and more than half of them grossed over 100 million yuan. Even Xu Guangtou
This kind of rookie director is about to become a director worth 200 million+.
Now it may become a bit ironic to call him a "genius director".
Ning Hao's mentality will definitely be affected, not to mention that "No Man's Land", which he painstakingly polished, is still unable to meet the audience. Even though he usually seems like a fine person, he has long been holding back his breath. It's just that
Today I just vented it out of my head. In the end, Xu Guangtou was not drunk, but he was the first to get drunk.
"Brother Zheng, I'm sorry!"
When saying goodbye, He Xin said hello to Bald Xu.
"It's okay, Lao Ning is pretending to have something on his mind. There are some things I can't say, so you can find an opportunity to enlighten him." Bald Xu looked very generous, and even said with a worried look on his face.
"Well, I understand. Get in the car quickly and be careful not to catch a cold."
In late February, the night temperature in Beijing was still very low. Their Xu Xiaobao had already fallen asleep in Taohong’s arms. The couple did not bring a driver or assistant. Xu Guangtou carried his daughter over, Taohong drove, and everyone waved.
Say goodbye.
As he watched the car leave, He Xin couldn't help but sigh. Although he had just said that, Ning Hao had a very stubborn temper, and he still needed to figure out some things by himself.
Ning Hao was drunk, and Sister Na definitely couldn't do it alone. Cheng Er, who lives in the same neighborhood as them, also drank a lot. He Xin had to ask Shen Ming to take them home, and he and Cheng Hao simply went back for a walk.
"so cold!"
"Then let's go faster?"
"Don't be anxious, it's good to walk slowly."
Cheng Hao held his arm, put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket, and walked slowly along Hujing West Road. The National Convention Center Hotel looked very close to his neighborhood, but it would still take a long time to walk.
Most of half an hour.
Since having children, the two of them have rarely had the opportunity to walk hand in hand outside like they did tonight.
"When will your and Brother Haozi's new movie start filming?" Cheng Hao asked, leaning his head on his shoulder.
"The time has not been set yet, and the script may need to be revised." He Xin sighed.
There was no other way, Ning Hao was known as a slow doctor. He put his hand into his pocket and held his wife's cold little hand.
It's strange to say that women are naturally afraid of the cold, and their hands and feet will become cold in winter, but when they go to the red carpet, they are more resistant to freezing than the other.
"Are you sure it was filmed in Shanghai?"
"Well, it's been decided. Haozi and Du Jie have both gone to see the scenery several times. Oh, by the way, why don't you take your children and our parents to Shanghai together?"
On the one hand, there are already houses in Shanghai, but on the other hand, every spring in Beijing, the wind and sand are strong and the air is very bad. Of course, the most important thing is that he can't bear to leave his daughter.
"That's okay, I still have to go to work!"
"Can't you ask for a few more months of leave? If you are embarrassed to speak, I will tell Brother Hao." He Xin said hurriedly.
"Definitely not. Teacher Hao just told me that there are so many candidates applying for the exam this year, and I will have to go to the school to help the day after tomorrow." Cheng Hao shook his head.
Speaking of which, the enrollment of the most popular performance department of China National Theater this year has been reduced from 80 students in three classes to 30 students in one class before the expansion. The elimination rate exceeds 99.5%. It is truly one in a thousand.
As the number of candidates applying for the exam increases, the annual art exam is also an arduous task for the school. At today's celebration banquet, Hao Rong greeted Cheng Hao and asked her to go to work early if it was convenient.
In the past two years, the enrollment of Chinese dramas has faced many challenges from Nortel. For example, in last year's enrollment, two child stars Zhang Yishan and Yang Aoni, who became popular in "Family with Children", both chose Nortel, and this year in the National Normal University
The blockbuster "Jingqiu" little yellow duck in the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is also facing the art test. After being trained by the national teacher, if the little yellow duck applies for the Chinese drama, the Chinese drama will definitely accept it, but others still choose the national drama.
The teacher's alma mater Nortel.
In fact, it is understandable that these star candidates all chose Nortel. After all, Nortel has continuous power and Internet at night, no morning exercises, no late repairs, elevators in the dormitories, good accommodation conditions, air-conditioned TVs in the rooms, and campus Internet cafes all have Apple computers.
, close to the subway, and Wudaokou Zhongguancun business district is just a stone's throw away.
In comparison, Chinese opera is like a landlord's compound, with six people sharing a dormitory, the power and internet are cut off at 12pm, morning exercises are performed at 6:30am every morning, and there are evening cultural classes three nights a week
, in fact, there is still time to rehearse. Although after the incident of the nursery rhymes being beaten, China National Theater no longer strictly stipulates that freshmen and sophomores cannot take on roles, but in principle it is still discouraged, unlike Nortel, which is very lenient in this regard.
Comparing the two aspects, for those star candidates, the relaxed Nortel is naturally more attractive than the strict Chinese drama.
"Well, that's all we can do. My parents will have to work hard in the future... Well, anyway, I will take on two dramas this year and try to find time to take care of the children at home." He Xin could only say.
There is nothing we can do about it. Sometimes it is difficult to balance work and family. Fortunately, as a teacher, Cheng Hao does not have to sit in class. He only needs to complete his weekly teaching tasks, so he has more flexibility in his working hours.
The two walked along Hujing West Road to Olin East Road, passed through the Fifth Ring Road, and entered their community unknowingly. The doorman obviously recognized the couple, and his expression was quite surprised when he saluted.
I took two packs of cigarettes from the wine table and gave them to them.
Speaking of which, the trend of extravagance in the industry seems to be getting more and more intense nowadays. Not only are the female stars competing with each other in various brand-name clothes and bags, but the male stars and directors are always buying Maotai products that are 15 or 30 years old or various imported high-end foreign wines.
Smoking is no longer about Soft China, Panda and the like, now it is also popular to smoke cigars, which cost hundreds or even thousands.
This trend slowly became popular in the Beijing circle from the beginning. In the Beijing circle, most of them are from big families. From the beginning, they were full of superiority, superior to others, and followed the behavior of other big bosses in Hong Kong.
Show off on your own.
When I walked downstairs, I looked up and found that the lights were still on in my living room and in Cheng's parents' room.
"Tsk, what time is it? Why isn't the little guy sleeping yet?"
The couple hurried upstairs. As soon as the elevator door opened, the door opened before He Xin could take out the key.
"I'm home!"
I saw Cheng's mother standing at the door with her energetic seven pounds in her arms. The little guy in her arms was dancing towards the house with her back turned, and she was still shouting "oh, oh" incessantly.
It turned out that Dad Cheng was playing with the two dogs at home with a ball. The little guy was so excited that he didn't even notice when his parents came back.
"Why are you still up so late?" Cheng Hao frowned.
"I went to bed at eight o'clock, but I didn't sleep for two hours. When I woke up, I had to play with Zhuang Zhuang and Chuanchuan." Cheng's mother said cheerfully.
"Then you're not sleepy?"
Cheng Hao saw his father sitting on the sofa and yawning. He complained that his parents doted on the baby too much and played with her instead of coaxing him to sleep.
He Xin hurriedly took off his down jacket, went into the bathroom to wash his hands, and walked out: "Mom, let me do it. You and my dad go to bed early."
"It's okay. You have all been busy all day. Get some rest early and let Qijin sleep with us tonight." Mother Cheng said hurriedly.
Dad Cheng also came over and said, "Yes, I will fall asleep after a while when I get tired from playing with Qijin."
The elders are always very considerate of the younger ones, especially with their own granddaughters, they are happy no matter how tired they are.
At this time, Qijin followed the two dogs with his eyes and finally turned around. Seeing He Xin in front of him, he hurriedly opened his little hands and started to pounce into his arms while making noises.
"You little heartless child, when you see your father coming back, you won't want grandma anymore."
Cheng Ma had no choice but to hand the seven kilograms into He Xin's hand, and even patted the little butt gently.
The little guy is almost four months old. He can raise his head very steadily and can not only recognize people but also express his emotions through babbling.
"Baby, do you miss daddy?"
He Xin hugged his baby daughter and couldn't help but kiss her plump face.
When Cheng Ma saw this, she opened her mouth to speak but then stopped.
Cheng Hao, who had just washed his hands, saw him and immediately said dissatisfied: "Oh, how many times have I told you not to kiss your cheeks? Too many kisses will make you drool. He still smells of alcohol. Give me the child and you take a shower first."
go."
Qijin smelled the milky fragrance of her mother, and kept pushing into her mother's arms.
He Xin had no choice but to let go.
"Dad, Mom, you go to bed first."
Seeing that Cheng's father was about to get into a fight, Cheng couldn't bear it.
…
Although I didn’t drink too much at the celebration party, I still drank more than two ounces, and I woke up twice at night because I was seven pounds. It was rare for me to oversleep the next morning.
The cell phone placed on the bedside table vibrated and woke him up.
He touched the phone in a daze and saw that it was Ning Hao's number. It was only eight o'clock now.
At this time, Cheng Hao was also awakened by the vibrating sound of his mobile phone. He frowned and muttered: "Who is it, so early in the morning?"
"Uh, it's Haozi. This guy is drunk and crazy!"
In order not to disturb his wife's sleep, He Xin had to force himself to get up, walk to the study room next door, yawn and answer the phone.
"Hey, are you sober?"
The person on the other end of the phone asked impatiently: "When will you come to the company?"
"What are you doing? Is there something wrong?"
"I've arrived at the company. I have something to discuss with you. Hurry!"
"Hey...what's going on?" He Xin felt as if the sun was rising from the west.
"I can't tell you clearly on the phone. You can come over and talk. I'll ask Shen Ming to pick you up!"
"Uh, no need, I'll drive here myself."
After hanging up the phone, He Xin was still wondering, but Ning Hao spoke seriously on the phone, so he didn't dare to delay. He washed up in a hurry, didn't even bother to eat breakfast, took two buns and a box of milk and hurried out.
.
When he drove to the company's parking lot, he saw Ning Hao's Mercedes-Benz G320 already parked there. He breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that this guy was playing a prank along the way.
It wasn't the nine o'clock time to go to work yet, and because "Jonky Road" was released during the Spring Festival, the company took turns to have holidays, so there were only a few people there.
"Is Director Ning here?" He also asked the security guard at the door.
"Come, come, come before eight o'clock in the morning."
He walked into the company and trotted upstairs. When he looked up, he saw Ning Hao, with unshaven beard and a pair of red eyes, sitting on the sofa in the public area on the second floor.
Seeing his appearance, He Xin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought something big had happened, so he hurried forward: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Snapped!"
This guy threw the stack of manuscripts he was holding on the coffee table: "Look at the notebook. If there are no problems, I want to start it as soon as possible."
No need to ask, it must be the script of "The Crowd". It seems that this guy is still very stimulated. While He Xin breathed a sigh of relief, he asked puzzledly: "Didn't you say that you wanted to revise it two days ago, so fast?
"
"Well, some parts have been slightly modified, but I think there's basically nothing wrong with it."
"What about the actors?" He Xin couldn't help but ask again.
After all, he is the only one who has been cast at the moment, and this is a drama with two male protagonists, and there is also a role of Chen Xiaomeng, a down-and-out extra, who is as important as the killer Zhou Quan he will play.
"So, I brought you here to discuss this matter!"
"..."
He Xin was speechless and almost didn't curse. It turned out that just for this matter, he called himself up early in the morning. Could it be noon or tomorrow?
But when he saw Ning Hao's slovenly look and the curse words coming to his lips, he couldn't bear to change his words and said, "Are you still drunk?"
