He Xin recently bought a new car, a 2010 new Mercedes-AMG S65. The whole car has a landing price of nearly 3.5 million. This is not to say that buying a luxury car is pretentious, but the tax rate in the cultural and media industry is really high. It's a bit scary, but Xinhao Media has never engaged in tax evasion, so it purchased some fixed assets such as cars, photography equipment, etc. to offset the somewhat scary profits appropriately. This is called reasonable tax avoidance.
Ning Hao also changed to a Range Rover, which is currently very popular in the entertainment industry, but He Xin doesn't like this kind of off-road vehicle that looks like a small tank. It's just a matter of personal aesthetic differences. After all, driving in the city is better than a car. A bit more comfortable.
Shen Ming is now a middle-level manager in the production department. Now accompanying He Xin is his cousin, a veteran who has served in the field army for eight years, acting as a driver, bodyguard and assistant.
He Xin is now considered to be worth billions, so he should be equipped with an assistant capable of protecting his personal safety. Although this young man named Shen Lin is not as agile and flexible as Shen Ming, he does things in a orderly manner and has a strong military style. He Xin actually liked it very much.
The car stopped in front of a restaurant near Nortel. Although there was a driver, He Xin did not insist on sitting in the car and waiting for the driver to come and open the door to show off his bad habits. When he opened the door and got out of the car, he asked the driver Shen Lin. One sentence: "Stop following me and order a couple of dishes in the lobby to settle it yourself."
This young man is honest. Last time He Xin went out to socialize, he was so hungry that he waited stupidly in the car.
"It's okay, boss, I brought my own dry food." Shen Lin showed his big white teeth and smiled honestly.
"Uh...let's do it."
It's useless to say more, but his seemingly stupid behavior can especially win He Xin's favor.
The decoration of this restaurant is average, but the business is very good. The hall is full, and many of them are students from the nearby Nortel. He Xin lowered the brim of his hat and went upstairs along the stairs. Just when he reached the corner of the second floor, I bumped into a guy who was walking recklessly and looked like a skinny monkey.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly raised his chin, so he didn't hit the guy's forehead.
"You don't have any eyes!"
The thin monkey smelled of alcohol and made rude remarks when he opened his mouth.
"..."
He Xin looked at that familiar face, frowning and speechless. He was obviously the one who bumped into him first. However, he was too lazy to be familiar with such a person, so he shook his head and walked past.
"Hey you……"
Seeing his cold expression, Shouhou was still tempted to give in due to the strength of his drink, but just as he was about to call out to the other party, he suddenly realized why the person looked so familiar just now? The image of that person on the screen appeared in his mind, and he compared the two, and instantly, I was half awake from the alcohol shock, and I watched the other person walk into a private room, but I opened my mouth but couldn't say a word.
After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly slapped himself hard and scolded himself: "I told you to slap me back!"
In the box next to it, a group of Nortel students were having a party. Among them, there was a "fat and round" girl who seemed particularly active, and it was obvious from a glance that she was the focus of the table.
When Shouhou walked in a little lost, the fat girl shouted at him: "Zhang Yishan, where have you been? You drank too much!"
"Yes, yes, Yishan, we thought you had peed away just now!" The people next to him started cheering.
Although Zhang Yishan was very frightened, when he returned to the box to face his classmates, he did not dare to mention the embarrassing incident just now. He pretended to be calm and said: "No, I just met an acquaintance outside."
Both Zhang Yishan and Tufei Yuan were child stars and were star students in school, and they were always surrounded by admiring people.
Someone asked jokingly: "What kind of god is this mountain?"
Zhang Yishan originally didn't want to bring up this topic, but since someone asked, everyone's eyes were focused on him, so he had to bite the bullet and glance at the fat and round girl, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "He is Yang Niao's idol.
"
“Who is Yang Niao’s idol?”
Before some students who didn't know what was going on could ask questions, they heard Yang Niao scream and jump up from her seat. She grabbed Zhang Yishan's arm and asked, "Is it Teacher He? Where is he? You
Have you asked him for his autograph?"
Putting aside the barrage of questions from Yang Ni'ao, who is a rich and talented person, when you hear the word Teacher He, you can instantly think of the National Master just like you hear the word Director. These are the default specific titles in the industry.
Teacher He, He Xin, Berlin Best Actor, Three Golden Best Actors, and the boss of Xinhao Media. For these young students studying acting, the Best Actor is a benchmark stuck on the top of the mountain that they need to look up to, and the boss of Xinhao Media is
Identity also means being synonymous with big shots and resources in the circle.
Teacher He turned out to be an acquaintance of Zhang Yishan, and everyone looked at him with surprise, envy, and even secret jealousy.
Zhang Yishan felt very proud when he saw everyone's gazes. Since he was pretending, he would just pretend to be cool. He pretended to be calm, pulled away Yang Aoni's hand, coughed twice and said: "This... Teacher He
, I’m here to talk to people, we shouldn’t bother them rashly.”
There is nothing wrong with what he said. He is a big boss, so he naturally has everything to do. Even eating is just socializing.
Probably except for Yang Ni'ao who looked disappointed, everyone else kept saying yes.
But one of them suddenly said: "Hey, don't you think Mr. He will come to cast the role?"
Casting?
This word is definitely a sensitive word for these young students who have just entered the industry. They worked hard to stand out from thousands of troops and got admitted to Nortel, with only one purpose - to become famous, become a star, and make big money.
.
Probably apart from Guoshi, Director Chen, and Feng Pants, Xinhao Media's dramas are the most important and attract the most attention in the industry today. Didn't you hear that Mr. He's new movie was shortlisted for Venice Film Festival not long ago?
In the main competition section of the festival, maybe we can win another Venice Best Actor.
The box instantly became quiet. Everyone looked at Zhang Yishan expectantly, and even Yang Niao was attracted.
How did Zhang Yishan know this? He didn't even know who Teacher He was eating with, so he had to laugh and said: "How do I know such a thing? If they don't tell me, I can't ask, right?"
"Yes, yes, what Yishan said makes sense. Besides, how can such a thing be such a coincidence?"
Everyone agreed, but even though they said so, a few smart people had already started to pay attention secretly. Many of them had already signed a contract with a brokerage company, and they were thinking about asking the company to inquire about it later.
Some things are often accidental. Nowadays, the competition is getting more and more fierce. Even if there is only 1% hope, it is worth 100% effort. What's more, it is a drama of Xinhao Media, and Teacher He personally takes part in it...
There are smart people, and there are also stupid people. Someone immediately threw cold water and said: "Even if we are not selected from Nortel in the casting, he is from the Chinese Theater Company, and his wife is a teacher of the Chinese Theater Company. The one who is closest to the water is the first to win."
Ah, look at what people used in their previous dramas, they all came from it."
Someone immediately jumped out to retort: "Nonsense! That's not necessarily true. Ning Hao is from Nortel, and Huang Bo and Jiang Qinqin in the "Crazy" series are all from Nortel!"
"Hey, last time I heard on the set that the relationship between Teacher He and Jiang Qinqin seems to be quite unusual."
"Hey, is it true? Tell me what's going on?"
"I don't know if it's true or not. I just heard they said it seemed like they were doing that when they were filming "Qiao's Courtyard"..."
The topic quickly went astray, but Yang Niao couldn't stand it anymore. How could she slander her idol?
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, Teacher He is not that kind of person at all. And I heard that Teacher Jiang and Teacher Cheng Hao have a very good relationship!"
"Well……"
The classmate who was gossiping about He Xin and Jiang Qinqin just now was speechless.
After all, they are still young, and if you think about it, how could a mistress have such a close relationship with her first wife?
Zhang Yishan, on the other hand, rarely said seriously: "It doesn't matter what other people say about this kind of thing, but we must not spread it randomly. If it reaches Teacher He's ears and says that it was you who said this, it may not be good.
"
Yang Ni'ao also said bitterly: "That's right, I will make you walk around without food!"
These two are both child stars and are old people in the industry. Such words are definitely not meant to scare people. The ones who were particularly enthusiastic just now were frightened and did not dare to speak. The one who first brought up the topic was full of sarcasm.
, my heart is pounding, I wish I could slap myself in the mouth.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
By the way, when He Xin walked into the box earlier, there were already two people sitting inside. In addition to Xue Xiaolu, whom he had made an appointment with, and Jiang Wei.
Teacher Jiang Wei was present at the place where Teacher Xue appeared, which was completely normal.
"Teachers, I'm sorry for the long wait." This guy greeted me with a smile.
"We have just arrived. Besides, we are just a few steps away. Hey, Xiao He, sit down, please sit down!" Xue Xiaolu stood up to greet him with enthusiasm.
Teacher Jiang Wei, on the other hand, is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai. He has a bad habit among intellectuals. In his eyes, no matter how talented and popular He Xin is, there is always a generation gap between them. The elders naturally have to
He has the airs of an elder. Moreover, the relationship between the two of them is good, so there is no need to be pretentious.
He Xin sat down and joked: "Teacher Jiang, should I call you Teacher Jiang now, or should I call you Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You guys are doing the same thing as me!"
It is said that Jiang Wei just resigned from Nortel not long ago and joined Jiang Ershao's Anle Pictures as the general manager. An old-school intellectual left his job as a teacher for more than 20 years to go into business. He must have gone through a process.
A fierce ideological struggle, or maybe there are some unknown secrets.
"Xiao He, let's have some drinks together today?" Xue Xiaolu suggested with a smile.
From her point of view, maybe Jiang Wei going to sea is the best choice. Distance brings beauty, and it can also avoid some bad rumors.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Xue Xiaolu then took out a notebook from his bag and said with a smile: "I agreed at the beginning that I would show you this notebook first when it comes out. Please give me your valuable opinions."
Because of He Xin's status as a screenwriter, in the eyes of Xue Xiaolu and Jiang Wei, they were all considered equal.
He Xin took a look at the title "Beautiful Date" on the cover. It was not the "Beijing Meets Seattle" he was expecting, and he felt a little disappointed.
But he still opened it and took a look at the synopsis of the story:
Wen Jiajia used to be a screenwriter for a food magazine and was also a money digger. She was once full of romantic fantasies about love like "Sleepless in Seattle", but in real life she has become a wealthy lover.
Because there was no way to issue a birth certificate in China, she traveled thousands of miles to come to a confinement center in Seattle alone to wait for the birth...
He just glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh. In fact, many movies have different names before they are officially released. Obviously, today's script is no exception. What is "Beautiful Date"? This is clearly "Beijing Meets Seattle".
Seeing him laughing inexplicably while reading the script, Xue Xiaolu couldn't help but said: "What's the matter, Xiao He?"
"Well, I just glanced at the synopsis of the story and found that the subject matter is very novel and very realistic. I think this story must be very good."
He Xin used three special words in a row, which made Xue Xiaolu look surprised, but couldn't restrain his joy. As a screenwriter, of course he hopes that his scripts will be recognized, especially by his peers.
She wanted to be humble, but before she could speak, He Xin closed the notebook and said directly: "Teacher Xue, our company has invested in this notebook."
"..."
Xue Xiaolu couldn't help but open his mouth, feeling very unbelievable. Even Jiang Wei, who was sitting next to him, was full of surprise. For so many years in the industry, this was the first time they had seen someone decide to invest after glancing at the outline of the story.
You must know that film investment is very risky. Even if it is a work by a national master, the script must be repeatedly scrutinized and weighed before deciding whether to invest.
For a long while, Xue Xiaolu said in disbelief: "Xiao He, you can't be joking, right? First of all, let me declare that I will direct this script myself."
He Xin looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Mr.
!”
"real?"
"Of course it's true. I can make a decision now and this project will be officially approved. As for the conditions...well, just follow the conditions of "Du Lala" that I discussed with you last time!"
This is "Beijing Meets Seattle". Although he doesn't remember the specific box office of this film, it is definitely a miracle at the box office. In his last life, he saw a report saying that Xue Xiaolu created the first female director in China with this film.
box office record, so he remembered the name Xue Xiaolu.
For example, after "Beijing Meets Seattle" was released, Xue Xiaolu at that time was definitely treated like Jia Lin ten years later.
Originally, he wanted to say that all shooting plans and budgets would be entirely up to her, but he soon realized that this was too broad, so he changed his mind and followed the conditions he had previously invited her to direct "Du Lala".
Although the cooperation between the two parties did not succeed last time, and Xue Xiaolu was only the screenwriter of "Du Lala", the conditions proposed by He Xin at that time were definitely the treatment of a great director.
For example, the director is solely responsible for the specific shooting process; the budget should be as generous as possible; as for casting, the director's choice should be fully respected.
As a result, as soon as He Xin finished speaking, Xue Xiaolu made his first condition.
