He Xin was a little confused. To be honest, he really didn't like this role, or he didn't want to play it at all.
From an actor's point of view, this kind of role did not pose any challenge to him. His purpose of investing in this drama was very simple, just to make money.
It's really a bit helpless to say that when he and Ning Hao founded Xinhao Studio and now Xinhao Media, one reason is to make money and improve their lives, but the most important thing is to chase their dreams and be able to shoot the pictures they want.
Filmed.
Nowadays, the scale of the company is getting bigger and bigger, with hundreds of people eating under your hands. It is obviously unrealistic to pursue the so-called art willfully. Think about it, with nearly 100 million yuan in operating expenses every year, a "Beijing Encounter"
"Seattle" may be able to achieve full-year profits, how could he let it go?
At this moment, his identity is the boss of Xinhao Media, not an artist, which is a very helpless thing. In his current position, he really understands the famous saying of Lao Ma in later generations: "
I don’t like money, and what I regret most is creating Alibaba.”
This sentence should not be just a pretense, maybe Lao Ma really has such emotion in his heart. But then again, since you enjoy flowers, applause and a prosperous life, then you also have the obligation to give flowers, applause and
Responsibilities and obligations of the job of living a prosperous life.
"How could it not be suitable? It must be suitable! That Frank character..."
Xue Xiaolu glanced at Jiang Wei mid-sentence, and then said: "I think this movie can be more certain only if you act in it."
"What if it's Teacher Chen Daoming or Uncle Ge?"
He Xin noticed Xue Xiaolu's behavior and saw through it without telling him. He recalled the Franke played by Lao Wu in the original version. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and had the unique elegance of an intellectual. He was very different from the handsome Jiang in front of him.
There are definitely similarities.
Of course, it is not enough to lose the old Wu Ka position in "Before Dawn". If he were to choose, his first choice would definitely be Uncle Dao Ming. Because it is a comedy, Uncle Ge is also an ideal candidate.
The salary of actors these days is not outrageous. The salary of Uncle Ge is only 7 to 8 million at most, and Uncle Dao Ming may be even lower. As for the heroine, although Tang Wei is amazing in the original version, she must use her own
People, Tong Yali, and Bai Xue, who recently signed a contract with Xinmiao Studio, are all good candidates.
Regarding the two top domestic actors proposed by He Xin, Xue Xiaolu pondered for a moment, still wondering: "Uh... Is Mr. Chen Daoming a little older? And Uncle Ge, I think he lacks that
An intellectual temperament.”
Obviously Xue Xiaolu doesn't approve of these two people. It's not that she has high standards. It may be that there is a big difference between these two top domestic actors and the template of the Frank character she portrays. On this point,
In other words, her mentality is a bit like Aunt Qiong Yao when she wrote "Outside the Window".
After saying that, she smiled and said: "Xiao He, you can't even satisfy my small request, right?"
"Well……"
He Xin had to smile helplessly and explained: "On the one hand, I want to rest for a while. In addition, Cheng Hao has just taken on a movie, and I am afraid that there will be a conflict in time. After all, the children at home are still young.
The two of us have agreed that no matter who goes out to work, someone must stay at home with the children."
"Xiao He, after all, you are a model husband and a good father. In this regard, I think you and Frank are really similar." Xue Xiaolu smiled sweetly, glanced at Jiang Wei intentionally or unintentionally, and then asked a series of questions.
Said: "What kind of drama is Xiao Cheng taking? Does the drama have a long schedule? When will it start shooting?"
"It's a new movie directed by Liu Jie. The schedule is uncertain. It will probably start filming at the end of the year."
"At the end of the year... Director Liu Jie, I know, he always shoots movies very fast, it should not take more than two months..." Xue Xiaolu said to himself, thinking, and pondered for a moment: "If it is made before the end of the year,
We have completed the filming before, so the time is really tight. Otherwise, we can wait until Xiao Cheng finishes shooting before starting the filming, so that the preparations may be more complete."
It was obvious that He Xin had to play this role.
"Then...I'll go back and discuss it with Cheng Hao, and then I'll confirm the approximate start date with Director Liu Jie."
"It doesn't matter, I've got it right anyway, even if it's postponed for another month or two, it shouldn't be a big problem." Xue Xiaolu said with a smile.
"Well, what about the role of Wen Jiajia? Does Director Xue have a suitable candidate?" He Xin thought for a while and asked.
"There are suitable candidates, but...well, I still need to discuss this matter with you..."
When it came to choosing the female lead, Xue Xiaolu was obviously hesitant, and at the same time he looked at Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei hurriedly responded: "Oh, the main reason is that I recommended a candidate to Xiaolu."
"Is it Tang Wei?"
Based on Jiang Wei's current identity, he is probably Tang Wei, the only contracted actor under Anle Pictures.
Jiang Wei nodded with embarrassment. There were rumors in the world that He Xin and Tang Wei were on bad terms. Although the two had refuted the rumors many times on different occasions, Tang Wei gave up on He Xin for "Lust, Caution" and gave up "Latent".
"The character Cuiping in "Latent", as the director of "Latent", Jiang Wei knew the inside story of this matter very well, and he was also very angry about it at the time.
But fate has played tricks on people, and now he and Tang Wei are on the same side, and he has to persuade He Xin to help Tang Wei win a role. No wonder even Jiang Wei himself feels embarrassed.
In fact, looking back now, Tang Wei chose "Lust, Caution" by the great director Li Eucalyptus, and made such a big sacrifice, and was banned for two years. But "Latent", which was inconspicuous at the beginning, has become
It is a classic and also made Song Jia, who plays Cuiping, very popular. Now she is clearly ahead of Tang Wei in terms of popularity and celebrity status.
In the two years since Tang Wei came back after lifting the ban, she has starred in many movies such as "Moonlight Hennessy", "Late Autumn", "Martial Arts", etc., but they all received mediocre response. Now she is in urgent need of an influential work to advance her career.
Reaching a new level. As the general manager of Anle Pictures, Jiang Wei naturally has a responsibility.
He was not only the first to see the script "Beautiful Destiny", but he also gave Xue Xiaolu a lot of opinions during its creation. He was very optimistic about this script.
In the original time and space, Xue Xiaolu was also holding his breath. Although Li Lianlian joined the cast of his directorial debut "Ocean Paradise", it ultimately won the reputation but lost the box office. In fact, the preparation process for his new work did not go smoothly at the beginning.
, almost no one invested, but Jiang Wei finally extended a helping hand to her, and Anle Pictures invested in this work. Tang Wei naturally became the actor of the female lead Wen Jiajia.
But now with the full support of Xinhao Media, He Xin made the decision to invest without even reading the script. So if Tang Wei wants to become the leading actress in this drama, He Xin must nod.
He Xin was in a dilemma. Logically speaking, he should give Jiang Wei credit. After all, he had just taken office and was eager to achieve some results. Moreover, he also knew that Wen Jiajia, played by Tang Wei in the original version, was particularly impressive, but
This movie is obviously a theater guarantor. If he had no contracted actors before, then forget it, but the situation is different now. There is no reason for the film he invested to be cheaper than outsiders, especially Tang Wei. So far, he still feels that
There is also a knot of heart.
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Wei could only continue to add: "If Tang Wei can play this role, then our company can still bear part of the investment."
There's nothing wrong with Jiang Wei's words. Bring capital to join the group. It's very popular now, and it was quite popular before capital invaded the film and television drama industry on a large scale. It can also share risks.
But at this time, He Xin sounded harsh. It was "Beijing Meets Seattle". If China Film, Bona, Galloping Pony, etc. wanted to get involved, he had to accept it in order to maintain the relationship, but Anle Film
Well, why is it a film company from Hong Kong?
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jiang Wei and said, "Mr. Jiang, I appreciate your kindness. At present, our company is still quite wealthy in terms of funds, and we really want to invest in some projects, otherwise the year-end report will not look good.
.As for the choice of the female lead..."
He paused and glanced at Xue Xiaolu. Because their previous agreement was that the director would decide on the casting, but the investors also had the right to make suggestions. If there was a conflict, everyone would negotiate and resolve it. To put it bluntly, everyone would compromise.
Since He Xin has now verbally agreed to Xue Xiaolu playing the role of Frank, then He Xin should have the final say in selecting the female lead.
"Let's see. Our company also has several good candidates. Let's hold auditions when the time comes. I respect Director Xue's opinion."
Speaking of this, it was tantamount to a disguised rejection. Fortunately, Jiang Wei was mentally prepared for this, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Then we will not get involved."
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass again: "However, I hope there will be a chance for our two companies to cooperate next time."
I respect others as much as they respect me. But if someone feels sorry for me, then I will be very petty. This is He Xin's consistent code of conduct.
At this moment, he quickly stood up, took the cup and touched it with Jiang Wei: "Of course, I think there will definitely be a chance. But this time, Teacher Jiang, I hope you can still understand."
"Haha, understand, understand."
Although he was very disappointed, Jiang Wei really couldn't say anything more.
…
"Wow, this book is so exciting, even better than "Du Lala"!"
Teacher Cheng Hao obviously knows the stuff. After reading the script, he was full of surprise and even a little eager to try it.
Seeing her like this, He Xin couldn't help but feel moved in his heart and said, "How about you play the role of Wen Jiajia?"
"I act?"
She was obviously moved, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, Wen Jiajia is a rich man's mistress. She must be young and beautiful. I am already old and can't play this role."
"That's not true. With your current appearance, let alone being in your twenties, you can play the role of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl." He Xinyi said righteously, without any hint of disobedience.
There are so many female celebrities in later generations who are all in their thirties or early forties, and they are still pretending to be young and hyping various girly and touching characters all over the world. Cheng Hao is now in her early thirties, and she looks plump and plump after giving birth.
The skin is also whiter and more tender than before.
Although it was an exaggeration, Cheng Hao still smiled happily: "Okay, don't make me happy. I really want to take it. What should I do at home and what should I do at school? I'm still taking care of my class."
It is indeed unrealistic when you think about it. For a woman to get married and have children, the sacrifice will always be greater. He Xin inevitably held his wife's hand with some guilt: "I'm sorry, wife!"
"Okay, don't be nauseous, don't just keep talking about it, come up with some practical actions later."
They say that thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger. The ancients do not deceive me. Since giving birth to a child, my wife’s needs in this area seem to be stronger than before. Sometimes He Xin is a little unable to do what he wants with just a gun.
, and occasionally have to resort to the golden-tongued man's unique skills.
…
I was sweating profusely, my mouth was salty, and my hands were sticky.
He Xin got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When gargling, he accidentally spit out a thin, curled "thread".
After drying his body and returning to the bedroom, he saw his wife still lying on the bed, looking lazy and drowsy. He walked over with a sense of accomplishment, kissed her smooth face, and said with a smile: "Good boy,
Get up, take a shower and then go to sleep."
"Well... I'm so sleepy, I won't wash it anymore." Cheng Hao opened her eyes, hugged her husband's neck and said coquettishly.
This moment, through the blending of spirit and body, is always the best moment for a couple's relationship.
He Xin pinched her nose again and said dotingly: "She stinks after sweating so much. Don't blame me for ignoring you?"
"you dare?"
Cheng Hao bit her lip, whining and turning pale at him, then she said pitifully with a grimace, "But I don't have any strength at all now."
"..."
In the past, He Xin would definitely have carried his wife to take a shower, but now he didn't dare to do it, for fear that his wife would suddenly become sexually interested again, which would not be easy to deal with.
"snort!"
Sure enough, when Cheng Hao saw that he was silent, he snorted dissatisfiedly. Fortunately, he was in a good mood, so he patted the side and said, "Then you chat with me and let me relax for a while. I was really about to fall asleep just now."
"good!"
This guy immediately responded to this request.
He leaned against the bed, and Cheng Hao pressed into his arms, smelling the scent of shower gel on his body, and said with a satisfied face: "I forgot to ask just now, do you have any interest in the role of Wen Jiajia?"
?”
He Xin glanced at her and said deliberately: "Jiang Wei recommended Tang Wei to me today..."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Hao suddenly jumped up: "Why?"
"Hey, haven't you always had a good relationship with her?"
"No, it's good to have a good relationship and manage it. Work is work, and this code is the same! Why should the company's actors be cheap for a film they invest in?" Cheng Hao pouted.
He Xin couldn't help but laugh and said: "I didn't agree! Oh, by the way, if you had to choose one between Bai Xue and Xiao Tong, who would you choose?"
Cheng Hao said without thinking: "Of course it's Yaya. Xiaoxue just finished filming a movie, so it should be Yaya's turn."
