When you walk into the model room of Tomson Yipin, you will be greeted by an extremely spacious lobby, which adopts a magnificent European style. But what is more eye-catching than these is the beautiful skyline outside the floor-to-ceiling window. It will make you instantly It feels like you own the entire Bund and Huangpu River.
Not only Shen Teng kept praising it, but even the well-informed He Xin was shocked when he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked down at the buildings of all nations on the other side.
Shen Teng looked around like a curious baby and said, "How much does a house like this cost?"
An accompanying developer manager politely introduced: "This is a duplex with an area of 828 square meters. According to the current market price, it is about 130 million."
"Hey, 130 million, even if I don't eat or drink, I won't be able to afford it for the rest of my life! How much does this cost per square meter? I'm not good at math, please help me do the math." Brother Teng said with an exaggerated face.
"Each unit here has a different price, including flat floor, duplex, different floor, location and room type. The price range ranges from 120,000 to 160,000. The unit price of this house is 150,000. Wan." The manager introduced warmly and thoughtfully.
"It's so expensive, will anyone buy it?"
When the manager heard this, he looked slightly embarrassed: "Well, the location here is a non-renewable and scarce resource. The price is definitely worth the money, and there is great potential for appreciation."
"Oh, I'm just asking, please don't mind if you have some experience. I can't afford this kind of house, let alone 150,000, even if it's 15,000."
The manager smiled awkwardly and politely and said: "Mr. Shen, our house is fully decorated, and the decoration cost alone is more than 15,100 square meters."
He Xin listened to the conversation between the two people behind him and smiled without saying a word. Brother Teng was still short-sighted after all. Ten years later, 130 million would be just drizzle to him, the 20-billion-dollar actor. of.
For a comprehensive home, Ning Hao's first choice was Tomson Yipin, known as "the first luxury house in Shanghai". In addition to forming a strong contrast with Chen Xiaomeng's dirty and messy rental house, more importantly, the view from here The view out is the symbol of Greater Shanghai.
Tomson Yipin has been open for several years. It once had an opening price of 110,000, which more than doubled the price of luxury homes in Shanghai. The location is good, but such a high price has been a problem for a long time. The price has no market, so there has been some sales in the past two years, but almost half of them have not been sold.
This time the crew of "The Crowd" contacted the developer and it was an instant success. The combination of the talented director Ning Hao and the Berlin actor He Xin was a dream come true for the developer.
One more thing, the big boss behind this real estate is actually an insider from Hong Kong. In the early 1970s, he starred in the martial arts film "The Heroine" which won the Technical Award at the Cannes Film Festival. It was the first time that a Chinese-language film was shortlisted in Cannes and won the Cannes Film Festival. Award winning.
She is most famous for her role as a producer in director Chen's "Farewell My Concubine", which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
In a sense, Director Chen's current position in the film industry was established with the help of Ms. Xu Feng.
The excited brother Teng came up to him and said humbly: "Teacher He, thank you! Thanks to you, I can enjoy life in a mansion of this level."
He Xin glanced at him and said with a smile: "As long as you are happy."
In this house, He Xin had several scenes with him, but most of them were one-man shows in his mansion life. When it came to exchanging lives, He Xin's main battlefield was the cramped rental house built in the studio.
The two of them came here today to get familiar with the shooting environment. The crew would arrive in the afternoon, and the actual shooting wouldn't start until the next day.
…
Since the cancellation of the May Day Golden Week, the May Day slot has become useless, especially this year, compared with last year's lively box office competition between "Dulara" and "Ip Man 2", as well as spy blockbusters with plenty of foreplay.
"East Wind Rain" and so on, this year's May Day program seems to be uneventful. The only ones that can be said to be somewhat anticipated are Gu Tianle and Liu Tianxian's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Jiang Wen and Zhen Zhuan's "Guan Yunchang".
Come to think of it, the May Day stalls actually used the gimmick of the new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to be released, and the 1987 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released, so you can imagine how deserted this year's May Day stalls are.
"I see that you don't look well and you can't eat. Could it be that you're not feeling well?"
Across the dining table, He Xin saw that the obviously thin Jiang Qinqin stopped eating without moving her chopsticks a few times, and she looked listless, so he was inevitably a little worried.
"It's okay, maybe I'm just too busy recently and a little tired." Jiang Qinqin forced a smile and couldn't help but yawn.
"There's no need to have such a tight schedule over there. It doesn't matter if you come to report a few days late." He Xin said with concern.
Jiang Qinqin smiled bitterly and said: "If I can spare a few more days, I will have time to prepare. I just saw Director Ning being so strict with Shen Teng at the scene. I was scared when I saw it."
It was rare for her to spare half a day today to come over to visit the crew and get used to the creative atmosphere of the crew here. How should I put it? Compared with the polite hello, me, hello, and everyone's greetings in the TV drama crew, creation is really going on here. She saw it with her own eyes.
Shen Teng was filming a scene where she was playing with a gun. It took more than a dozen shots. In the middle, Ning Hao even scolded Shen Teng so much that she was frightened.
"It's not that Haozi is strict with Shen Teng, but that Shen Teng has not met the standards, or that he has not fully realized his potential. Now he can only grind with him one by one."
Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but said in surprise: "I think he has done a very good job and is very funny. Your requirements are too high. If it were me, I wouldn't be as good as him."
"How can this be compared? His role itself is the role of comedy, and you are the role of wisdom. With your ability, it is enough." He Xin comforted with a smile.
But seeing her yawning one after another, he hesitated and said, "Why don't you go home early and have a rest instead of going to the movies."
The two of them had agreed before that He Xin would treat her to dinner and then go to the movies together. This was a way of expressing her gratitude and apology for the last time He Xin got drunk at her house and stayed overnight.
"No, don't even think about it!" Jiang Qinqin pouted and refused.
He Xin hurriedly said: "I'm not lazy, I just think you're too tired..."
"That's why I want to watch a movie. Besides, I like Wang Xianxian and Leslie Cheung's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" the best. I used to watch them all on video tapes. How can I really enjoy watching a movie? It's a rare opportunity. Just stay with me, okay?
Okay?"
Hey, Jiang Qinqin actually acted coquettishly towards him. This was the first time they had known each other for so many years. He Xin couldn't help but be a little stunned and nodded subconsciously: "Uh, okay!"
…
Watching the old movie again, He Xin could not help but feel a little sad when he saw the magnificent brother and Wang Xianxian on the screen. One of them left, and the other left for a foreign country. It would be great if there was Wu Gouzi...
The person who claimed to love this movie the most at the dinner table actually hugged his arm and fell asleep on his shoulder not long after the movie started.
Smelling the faint fragrance floating around me, I listened to her even breathing. Using the cold light reflected on the screen, I looked sideways and saw the slightly trembling eyelashes and the sexy slightly curled lips.
, to be honest, he had the urge to lower his head and kiss her at that time.
He could only focus his attention on the movie as much as possible, so as not to keep thinking about something in his heart.
Finally, when it was almost over, he pushed the person next to him: "Hey, wake up, don't sleep!"
"ah?"
Jiang Qinqin's eyes were sleepy and she was still mumbling: "Why did I fall asleep?"
"He also said that he sleeps like a little pig. I told you to go back early and rest, but you refused." He Xin moved his stiff arm and urged: "Let's go, lest there will be too many people in a while."
Not to mention, the only screening room in the entire cinema that screened the 1987 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" had a large audience, with almost two-thirds of the seats occupied.
"Oh, let's go then."
Jiang Qinqin realized it later, lowered the brim of her hat, stood up, naturally held his arm, and left early like a couple.
After sending people home, naturally nothing serious happened. When I returned to the hotel where I was staying, I happened to meet Ning Hao in the corridor who had just walked out of photographer Zhao Fei's room.
This guy's eyes lit up when he saw He Xin, and he smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight!"
He Xin rolled his eyes and was about to squeeze the guy away and go back to his room when he heard the guy say: "Just in time, I want to adjust the content of tomorrow's shooting. Instead, shoot a scene with you and Shen Teng. You two will discuss how to do it.
The acting scene."
Since he was talking about business, he had to stop and think for a moment: "I don't care, is he prepared?"
"I've already asked the assistant director to convey it. It doesn't matter whether the guy is prepared or not. I'm just thinking about letting you lead him. Otherwise, it won't work if he always looks like he's not alive or dead."
It should be said that since He Xin chatted with Shen Teng last time, the two have often communicated and interacted on the set. Shen Teng's progress is obvious to all. However, Ning Hao is still not satisfied, including He Xin who feels that Brother Teng's current performance is not good enough.
It was far from the level he had in mind. It was still not natural enough, or in other words, it was not letting go enough to let oneself go.
…
Morning, studio.
In the study room of the mansion, the curtains are drawn and the orange lights create a night atmosphere.
The staff behind the scenes were still nervously making final preparations before shooting. Because it was the first time to shoot opposite He Xin, Shen Teng held the script in his hand and was still reciting the lines, with an obviously nervous look on his face.
"Teacher He, I always can't remember my lines. What should I do?"
"Well……"
He Xin glanced at him speechlessly. This was the first time he met him. The filming was about to start. When it was over, the actor said to you: I haven't finished memorizing my lines yet, and then he asked you what should you do?
After a period of running-in, He Xin also understood some of the strange things about this guy. For example, it is easy to forget the lyrics when he is nervous.
"You can't memorize it all, so you should know the general meaning, right?" He had no choice but to say.
"I know." The guy nodded quickly.
"In that moment you can express yourself freely, as long as you feel like it." He Xin muttered.
Being good at performing on the spot is one of the few strengths that Shen Teng has shown so far. It is probably the specialty he has accumulated from performing on stage for a long time.
"Lights in place!"
"The reception is fine."
"A!"
In the middle shot, Shen Teng is leaning on a bright yellow marble tabletop, leaning slightly, with one foot poking the ground, whistling, and his body swaying gently to the rhythm.
At this time, he was flipping through a book in his hand, his eyes wandering, looking careless.
Seeing this scene, Ning Hao nodded secretly. This was because He Xin had designed this pose for him before filming started, and told him that as long as he showed his true psychological activities at this time, it would be the psychological activities of Chen Xiaomeng in the play.
The camera focuses on Shen Teng's upper body from bottom to top, and then slowly pulls back to give a large panoramic view. This is a comprehensive study room, very spacious, with a whole wall of bookshelves in the background, densely packed with books. , not the kind of hardcover edition used for decoration. It can be seen that the books are a bit old. The owner must have turned them over frequently.
Following a rush of footsteps, He Xin was seen holding a rolled-up book in the shape of a dagger in his hand. He entered the painting from the left side of the screen. His footsteps were fast. Before Shen Teng could react, He Xin put a hand on his shoulder. Shoulder, one hand used the book circled in the hand to aim at his abdomen and stabbed him sharply.
"Uh uh uh……"
Shen Teng followed He Xin's movements and let out a series of muffled grunts. After a scream, he slowly raised his drooped head with a surprised expression on his face. When he saw He Xin's face clearly, he was obviously surprised. , slowly raised his hand, trying to point at him with trembling hands, but just halfway through, he made another muffled sound in his mouth, as if he was vomiting blood, and finally slowly slipped to the ground while covering the wound.
"Card!"
There were no microphones or square speakers here, so Ning Hao shouted with a loudspeaker.
It should be said that the scene just now was a significant improvement compared to Shen Teng's previous performance, but he hesitated for a moment and still said: "The action is not exaggerated, let's do another one!"
"Isn't it exaggerated enough?"
Shen Teng Gulu got up from the ground. He felt that his performance just now was already exaggerated. This is how he acted in stage plays.
"Yes, there should be a smile here. You have to show your exaggerated side. The smile just now was obviously not enough, at least I couldn't laugh." Ning Hao shrugged and said coolly.
"Director, give me a few minutes." Shen Teng hurriedly raised his hand.
"Um!"
"Teacher He, what should I do?"
He quickly asked He Xin for advice on the spot and humbly.
"..."
He Xin was completely speechless.
Don’t you know how to do such a simple action? Where is the man who was said to have a great sense of humor and who can make people laugh even when he walks on the red carpet?
He pointed his finger: "Imagine! Imagine a more grandiose way to die? You have always claimed that you are a serious actor, and you have many acting methods... Well, you are like an actor. It is rare to perform once, and you can't wait to be seventeen or eighteen. You have to take them out and display them all over again, and they won’t be dead for a while.”
