On the day he received the news, Liu Yanming had a phone call with Zhao Baogang and said that one of the two leading actors in the film "What Will I Do to Save You, My Love" that the two companies will collaborate on must be He Xin.
Zhao Baogang is also a smart man. Although he was very optimistic about a newcomer named Liu Ye to play the role of Long Xiaoyu, the first male lead in this drama, He Xin has already won the Golden Horse Best Actor, and he knows the market value of it.
, and agreed immediately.
But here comes the problem. When Liu Yanming later called Chang Jihong to inform him of the good news, Chang Jihong was hesitant and uncertain. After repeated questioning, Chang Jihong revealed that he was an actor.
Don't want to act.
Only then did Liu Yanming realize that He Xin was not an actor signed by their company at all, and the company had no restrictions on him.
"Xiao He, do you plan to make movies specifically in the future?" Liu Yanming asked tentatively.
In Liu Yanming's view, there is always a reason why He Xin doesn't want to act. Either he has won an award and is too ambitious. Just like those big stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi from the Mainland, they are just movie stars and never accept roles.
TV drama.
Or the money was not paid enough. Speaking of which, He Xin's salary for starring in "Jade Goddess of Mercy" was indeed a bit low. It was a big difference from Tong Dawei's salary. But according to the market conditions at the time, he was worth the price, and at the time
If it weren't for Chang Jihong's face, Liu Yanming wouldn't even want to choose him.
"No."
He Xin shook his head in surprise.
Although he didn't have much knowledge in his previous life, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand anything. What's more, after being in this circle for a long time, he has gained a lot of knowledge through hearing and seeing.
Not to mention that there are really few movie resources these days, and because of rampant piracy, audiences have never developed the habit of buying movie tickets and going to theaters to watch movies. After the rise of video websites in two years, piracy will become even more intense. In his
In my memory, it seems that it was not until 10 years later that the country began to vigorously crack down on piracy that this situation was alleviated. The direct impact was that the movie box office increased year by year. By the year before he passed away, the total box office of national movies had exceeded
60 billion, and the current annual total box office is less than 1 billion.
For a long time to come, TV dramas will still be the dominant force, and with his current status, it is obviously unrealistic to focus on making movies.
However, when the same movie and TV series are placed in front of him, even if the money is less, he would rather choose the movie. It is not because the movie is more powerful than the TV series, but because he prefers the meticulousness of the movie.
creative atmosphere.
Hearing He Xin's negative answer, Liu Yanming thought, then the money was not paid enough, and maybe someone might have offered a higher price.
He had to not think too much about this. Although Chang Jihong had already signed a contract with his company, He Xin signed a personal contract with Chang Jihong after all. From Chang Jihong's point of view, there was no need for her to contact the company about this kind of thing.
Ventilate.
Liu Yanming continued to test with a smile: "Xiao He, I still want to congratulate you. This time you won the Best Actor, I'm afraid your salary will be doubled."
double?
He Xin paused for a moment before stretching out his chopsticks. He had not discussed the remuneration with Sister Hong yet, but Cheng Hao had told him that with his reputation as the Golden Horse Best Actor, Cheng Hao was not sure about the film remuneration, but
The salary for TV series is at least 15,000 to 20,000 yuan per episode, because her salary for playing "The Girl" has already reached 10,000 yuan per episode.
He probably heard the implication of Liu Yanming, that he should quote a price first, and then leave room for future bargaining. The purpose of the quotation is obviously for Hairun Company's next project "What can I do to save you, my love?"
》This TV series.
There are two male protagonists in this TV series. He Xin knew that he was definitely not suitable for the role of lawyer. He simply didn't like the other role of Long Xiaoyu, who had a heavier role. Moreover, this character was different from the character he was currently playing, Mao Jie.
The characters have similarities.
Of course, it's not a similarity in form, but a similarity in heart. This similarity is frankly a reflection of screenwriter Hai Yan's certain will. He always likes to describe bad guys in a way that makes people sympathize. He feels that there are too many reasons why bad guys do bad things.
It was a last resort. Mao Jie was like this, and Long Xiaoyu was like this too.
If you look at it at a glance, you may agree with Haiyan's portrayal of these characters, but if you think carefully, for example, the character Mao Jie, he sold drugs because his family was poor and he didn't want his parents to suffer; he killed An An's son, because
Because he wanted to take revenge on An Xin, but later found out that he had killed his biological son and was in agony. It made people feel that he had too many things worthy of sympathy, but in He Xin's view, no matter what the reason was, as long as he was a drug dealer,
As long as he kills an innocent child, then such a human being cannot be called a human being, but a demon. Even if he is shot ten times, he does not deserve sympathy.
The same is true for the character Long Xiaoyu in "What can I do to save you, my love"? A murderer is a murderer, and the love between a fugitive and a beautiful woman is actually very nonsense.
To put it more seriously, this is an issue involving values. Personally, he does not agree with Haiyan's values. He feels that playing a hero is enough and he does not want to try it a second time.
What's more, Sister Hong was not sure about winning this role at the beginning, and she still needed him to audition for it. Now he is supporting Liu Yanming, and it seems that as long as he nods, there will be no such thing as an audition.
Of course, he also knows that this is all because he won the award. But precisely because he won the award, he feels more confident and is not willing to wrong himself for a character he doesn't like.
So when Liu Yanming tried again, He Xin paused with his chopsticks for a moment, then took a piece of chicken from the pot and put it into his bowl, and then said with a smile: "I'm afraid this has to be done."
I have to ask Sister Hong, but I haven’t had many invitations lately anyway.”
After saying that, he didn't wait for Liu Yanming to speak, and added: "But I am still a student after all. I have missed almost half a semester of classes while filming this movie. It will definitely not be justified if I ask for leave again after the New Year, so recently
I don’t plan to take on the role either.”
With one sentence, everything Liu Yanming wanted to say was blocked back, causing his expression to be slightly startled. However, after all, Mr. Liu was a man who had gone through many storms, so he laughed and let the matter go.
This drink was a celebration banquet to celebrate the new year, so of course he was the only protagonist. Even though he kept stressing that he was not good at drinking, there were so many people toasting that by the time the banquet was over, his gait was already a little awkward.
He staggered, but fortunately the little girl Sun Li was very caring and helped him get into the car all the way.

December 12, Nandu Editorial Department.
In the morning, the sun was shining brightly, making the computer screen blurry for a while. Yuan Lei was typing on a manuscript. She frowned, stood up, closed the curtains, stretched lazily, and looked at the screen she had revised.
I read an article several times and couldn't help but mutter in my mouth: "Do these celebrities have shit in their heads?"
After more than ten days of fermentation, the incident of Zhao Wei's military flag uniforms became more and more serious. She also followed the trend and wrote an article, but she was still not satisfied with it, so she revised it until now.
Returning to her seat, she tidied up the messy desktop and saw a manuscript she had typed back yesterday. She couldn't help but shake her head sadly.
This time I spent a lot of time and effort to cover the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony, and finally wrote a report, but the result was this. I had no choice but to lower my tone from above.
Fortunately, the interview she wrote about the new Golden Horse Best Actress Qin Hailu was approved. After all, the policy is not about the person. In fact, what she is most interested in is not Qin Hailu, but the one who won two Golden Horses in one fell swoop.
Guy, but that guy was too mysterious. He only gave a brief interview after the ceremony. When she and other reporters came to the hotel where they were staying early the next morning, they were told that he had already left. Where was he going?
I don’t know.
The colleagues who were waiting at the Beijing Airport the next day to welcome the glorious return of the Continental Army also failed to interview this guy. It was not until last night that she received a piece of news that came through after a lot of twists and turns. It was said that this guy had returned to Lijiang.
