Chapter 603: Citizen Mr. He
Human emotions are very complex, and it often takes some things to become richer.
In his previous life, He Xin's reaction was very flat when he watched "Assembly Number", and if he watched it, he watched it, at most, the battle scene was very exciting, and Deng Chao almost choked to death after eating green onion burritos, which was very funny.
But today, when he revisited this movie again, especially when he found the remains of the martyrs of the Ninth Company and reburied the tree monument, the head of the unit read out the order of commendation, and when the assembly call sounded again, He Xin couldn't help but burst into tears.
Only by experiencing the strength of the motherland in later generations, daring to take responsibility in the face of emergencies and always putting the people first, can we deeply feel the value of the sacrifices of these martyrs.
In retrospect, a certain dwarf is talking about what in his show of pretending to be forced If there is no civil war in China after World War II, then China will be the most important ally of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, and then what will happen to China, and he looks very regretful, it is completely bullshit. I, the sons and daughters of China, were born to stand up to the heavens and the earth, how can I become a vassal of others!
"Brother, it's almost. ”
As the rallying call sounds, the camera stretches and the subtitles begin to roll. Shen Ming next to him reminded in a low voice.
"Let's go!"
He Xin let out a sigh of relief, put on a mask, and hurried out of the venue before the lights were on.
"This gentleman, I'm a CCTV reporter, could you please be interviewed?"
As soon as I went out, I met a female reporter with a microphone, and a photographer carrying a machine next to her, and the logo of Yang Ma on the machine was very eye-catching.
"Uh...... Good!"
He Xin thought he was recognized, but this was an interview with Yang Ma, and he had to give face. He had to stop.
"Thank you, sir, what is your last name?"
Hey?
"Oh, don't have your surname He. ”
At this time, the audience poured out, and everyone was curious to see that there was an interview outside.
He Xin hurriedly subconsciously pulled the brim of the hat on the puller's head.
"Mr. He, how do you feel after watching the movie "The Assembly"?"
"Of course it's good, the movie is wonderful, and it's educational. ”
The young reporter girl of Yang Ma's eyes suddenly lit up, and she felt that the audience's answer was just on the point of the interview, and hurriedly asked, "Can you talk about it specifically?"
"Well, because this war movie is different from the war movies we've seen before, it seems to be more real, and it allows us to see the true face of war, which is completely comparable to Hollywood blockbusters. And through the real and strong audio-visual shock, it carries a really serious major theme, and makes us feel that it is precisely because of those heroes who are not afraid of sacrifice that we have a peaceful and happy life now. ”
"I noticed that your eyes are still red, isn't that particularly touched?"
"Uh, yes, I'm very touched and excited, thank you Director Feng Xiaogang for making such a wonderful movie. ”
Seeing that there were more and more people gathered around to see the excitement, He Xin quickly nodded to the girl after speaking.
"Thank you, Mr. He. ”
The girl expressed her gratitude, and then said to the camera: "What Mr. He said just now is very good." It is precisely because of the thousands of heroes in "The Assembly" that we now have a peaceful and stable life, and at the same time ......"
He Xin took advantage of this opportunity to flash quickly. Speaking of which, he was still faintly excited, and it was the first time he had met an interview that he didn't recognize himself, and as an ordinary viewer, it seemed quite interesting.
In the original time and space, a very important reason why "Assembly" exploded with a box office of 250 million and could break 200 million is that it comes from the support of the official. The highly rated "News Network" reported on the news related to "The Assembly" twice.
It's just that what He Xin didn't know was that the interview he had just accepted soon appeared in the "Evening News" of the news channel that day.
......
Night, Chengdu.
"Brothers have worked hard, I would like to toast you here!" Feng Xiaogang raised his glass and thanked the tired brothers who had been running the roadshow for more than a week.
"Director, look at what you said, the box office is a big hit, and we will also follow it, don't you say?" As the leading actor of the movie, Zhang Hanyu hurriedly followed the applause.
He has been with Feng Xiao for many years, from the beginning of the trick to the current ten years of work, he finally carried the little brother in vain, and finally mixed up with the male number one position.
"That's right, we are all directors today. Wang Baobao looked stupid, but he was actually smart, he was also picked up by Feng Xiaogang, and hurriedly stood up with a wine glass and smirked.
So everyone stood up one after another and took the initiative to toast to the director, compared to the slapping of the old men of Zihuayi, only Deng Chao seemed more reserved.
Fortunately, at this time, he has chased Sun Li to no avail, and he will not be like in the original time and space, when promoting "Assembly Number", he was chased by reporters to ask him about his relationship with Sun Li, so that Feng Xiaogang turned his face with him in public, resulting in a grudge between the two who were talked about by the media for more than ten years in the future.
"Haha, thank you. I won't give everyone a false chance at this time, let's make persistent efforts to strive for the box office to exceed 200 million before New Year's Day, surpassing "Casting a Name"! When the time comes, I will definitely ask Mr. Huang to double the red envelopes for everyone. Come on, come on, cheers!" Feng Xiaogang said with his mouth open to show his rotten teeth.
The box office is gratifying, and the roadshow is hard. Tonight, the supper prepared by the staff specially arranged the director's favorite dumplings and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Feng Xiaogang drank a cup of Moutai, and the virtuous Xu Fan, who was sitting next to him, had already sandwiched a steaming dumpling into his bowl. He had just brought the dumplings to his mouth when the cell phone on the table rang.
Xu Fan picked it up and glanced at it, handed it to him and said, "It's the king." ”
He didn't put down his chopsticks immediately, he ate dumplings unhurriedly in front of everyone, put on a full posture, and then took the phone and connected: "Well, the Chinese army......"
"Really?"
Suddenly, he raised his volume, his face was full of excitement, and he made two "uh-huh" sounds in succession, and after hanging up the phone, he didn't care about the inquiring eyes of the table, and hurriedly called the waiter first: "Hurry up, turn on the TV, CCTV news channel." ”
Then he said happily: "Let me tell you a good news, our movie will be on "News Network" tomorrow, and tonight's "Evening News" will also report ......"
As he was talking, he heard an announcer report on the TV on TV: ""Assembly" is being screened a few days ago......"
Immediately afterwards, there was a picture of the entrance of the movie theater opposite the Beijing Workers' Stadium, and the poster of "Assembly Number" was particularly eye-catching. As soon as the camera turned, it was a picture of a CCTV female reporter interviewing the audience.
"Of course it's good, the movie is wonderful, and at the same time it's very educational......"
It's just that this audience looks a little unusual, and he is actually wearing a big mask. There is also a line of words on the screen, "Mr. Citizen He". Wenxin School
Probably to highlight his touching, the camera specially gave him a close-up of his red eyes.
Deng Chao, who was working on a bowl of boiled beef in front of him, inadvertently glanced at the TV screen, and the chopsticks stretched out to the boiled beef in his hand instantly froze, and his mouth opened wide and he was stunned for a while.
“...... Special thanks to Director Feng Xiaogang for making such a wonderful movie!"
"Look, it's still the director's good words, the audience's eyes are bright. Zhang Hanyu first clapped his hands and said.
"That's right, the gold and silver cups are not as good as the audience's reputation, if our director doesn't make movies, then what will the people of the whole country watch?"
"Director, the audience has thanked you, so we should thank you even more......"
The crowd at the table was full of sycophants.
But suddenly someone came out and said, "Hey, why do I see this guy wearing a mask so familiar?"
Feng Xiaogang, who was grinning happily, couldn't help but nod and said, "That's right, I also felt very familiar when I looked at it just now, and I always felt that I had seen ...... somewhere."
Before his words fell, he heard Deng Chao slap the table and say loudly: ", isn't this Ah Xin!"
"Who? What Ah Xin......"
Before someone could react, Feng Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "That's right, it seems to be He Xin!"
Saying that, he inevitably looked puzzled: "How could you interview him, could it be arranged?"
Arranging a good person to pretend to be an audience for an interview is not a new thing for Yang Ma to operate with ease. But the question is, it's just an interview on the spot, will Yang Ma invite such a big-name audience?
"Maybe it's a coincidence, I just saw that it said 'Mr. Citizen He'. Xu Fan interjected.
"It must be a coincidence, just in time, and Yang Ma may not even recognize it. Or...... Shall I call and ask?" Deng Chao also said.
"Yes, yes, Chao'er, hurry up and ask. If it's really him, I have to thank the big actor for not only cheering the scene, but also praising me a little embarrassed. Feng Xiaogang said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll call. ”
......
He Xin returned home, took a shower, just watched a passionate movie, and couldn't sleep for a while, so he took the script and lay on the sofa to read it.
There are a lot of things densely marked on the script. Compared with Ah Ming, who was a bandit in the previous stage, Ah Ming after becoming a monk, including Ah Ming, a monk who later became a ghost and has been waiting under the ginkgo tree for fifty years, is more difficult to perform.
Just after a few pages, the phone vibrate. He thought it was his girlfriend's phone, but when he picked it up, he saw that it was Deng Chao.
I just saw this guy in the movie, especially recalling the scene where this guy almost choked to death eating green onion burritos in the movie, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Hey, Erdou!"
"Haha, citizen Mr. He, hello!" came Deng Chaole's laughter on the other end of the phone.
"What messy citizen Mr. He?" He Xin scolded with a smile, thinking that this funny guy had some nickname for himself.
"No, you're going to see "The Assembly"?"
"Yes, I just went to see it tonight, the movie is very exciting, and you acted well. Oh yes, I forgot to congratulate you, it's a big box office hit! You're still running a roadshow, right?"
"Yes, today in Chengdu...... No, let me ask you, are you still being interviewed after watching the movie?"
"Hey, how do you know?" He Xin was stunned.
"Haha, I'll just say, that person must be you! Oh, how did you get interviewed? Didn't they recognize you?"
"I don't seem to recognize it. Actually, I happened to do that too......"
He told him about the situation on the phone.
"No wonder you are marked with 'Mr. He' in the news screen, and they must not recognize it...... Oh, you wait, Director Feng wants to talk to you. ”
When He Xin answered the phone just now, he heard a little noisy background voice from Deng Chao's side, but he didn't expect that an interview with reporters in the cinema actually alarmed Feng Xiaogang.
Then Feng Xiaogang's voice broke through the gong on the phone: "Haha, Xiaohe, thank you for your support, and you have said so many good things with us, thank you very much!"
"Director Feng, hello! I'm just telling the truth, Director Feng, your "Assembly Number" really touched me. And I think you put the perspective of the movie on the flesh-and-blood ordinary soldiers, which completely breaks through the main theme mode of the binary opposition of red and white in previous war films, and opens up a new form of heroism. It is no exaggeration to say that "The Assembly" is completely our China's "Saving Private Ryan", no worse than those Hollywood movies!"
For Feng Xiaogang, he has always been more respectful. Regardless of the outside world's comments on him, at least the Chinese New Year film model and Feng's comedy supported most of the mainland film market together with the national teacher when the Chinese film market was at its lowest.
"Haha, it's a prize!
Feng Xiaogang on the other end of the phone was overjoyed by him. In fact, when everyone attended the Academy Awards ceremony in Hong Kong together, Feng Xiaogang left a good impression on him, but the two sides have not had much intersection over the years.
"Oh, Xiaohe, we haven't seen each other for a while! In this way, I'll save up a game when I have time back, let's get together!" Feng Xiaogang said with emotion.
"Okay, but Director Feng, I'm going to be filming "Love Has an Afterlife" directed by Yu Feihong, and I may have time before the Chinese New Year. ”
"I know this, anyway, I'll wait for your call when the time comes. ”
The goddess of the Beijing circle directed the movie, of course Feng Xiaogang knew it, and he also helped others to contribute.
Although Feng Xiaogang is rumored to be a chicken thief in the outside world, he still has an old temper side in his character, he feels that He Xin is busy saying good things in the news today, which is equivalent to helping him, he has written down this favor, and he will definitely return it if he has the opportunity in the future.
This is why he helped Zhou Xingxing make a cameo appearance in "Kung Fu", and then when he asked Zhou Xingxing for help, Zhou Xingxing excused himself, so that he was always resentful, and even held a grudge.
In fact, when preparing for the project "Assembly Number", he set the character of Gu Zidi as Ge You at the beginning. It's a pity that Ge You read the script and felt that he couldn't act. Later, when he was looking for a role again, he really thought of He Xin. It's just that when I inquired at that time, I learned that He Xin was filming "The Story of Two Donkeys" in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, and the schedule did not match. Then coupled with his little brother Zhang Hanyu's reluctance to fall in love with the role of Gu Zidi, Feng Xiaogang finally took the risk of using Zhang Hanyu after several self-recommendations.
Of course, now it turns out that his original choice was successful, and he is secretly proud of it. In a sense, the success of "The Assembly" can completely make him comparable to the American division, relying on a group of newcomers or actors who are not big stars, and they can still sell high box office.
This is the success of the film, but also the success of the director!
