Chapter 697: Character Interview (2)

"Later, why did you choose to go to school in Chinese opera instead of continuing filming to make money?"

"The ability is not enough, if you want to make money in filming, you must first have this ability. ”

"But you still won the best newcomer at the Berlin Film Festival with "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", and you still don't feel that you are capable enough?"

"Of course!"

He Xin smiled and said: "At that time, I was a courier, and the role of Xiaogui in "Bicycle" is very similar to me in terms of career and life status. ”

As he spoke, he asked again, "Oh, have you seen the movie "Bicycle"?"

The corners of Reporter Yi's paralyzed face rarely rose slightly, and he said: "I have seen most of your works, even if I haven't seen them, I have read them all before this interview." ”

It seems that this reporter Yi has done a good job, on the one hand, it is dedication, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of respect for the interviewee.

"You have been in Chinese opera for five years, from advanced classes to junior college and then to bachelor's degree. But I noticed that during these five years, you are still continuing to take on and film, have you really learned anything in these five years?"

"Uh......"

Hearing this question, he was inevitably a little embarrassed, it is true that he has been in Chinese opera for five years, and he really doesn't have much time to study on campus.

He muttered: "How to say it, as the saying goes: the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual. It is true that I did not have much time to study in school, but as long as I master the skills, or theoretical knowledge, I can get twice the result with half the effort. And acting is something that needs to be improved through continuous practice. Even now, every time I act in a play, I can basically find the shortcomings in it, and then find ways to improve. ”

"For example?" said Reporter Yi pushed his glasses and continued to ask.

Although she doesn't know much about it, she is happy to discuss some professional issues with the interviewee, which is not only a learning process, but also very compelling.

"For example, crying scenes, when I first started acting, crying scenes were the most difficult for me, and I had to brew for a long time before I could cry every time, and many times I often cried not on point. But after professional training, I probably don't need a minute of tears to come down now. In drama school, this is the most basic acting skill to be mastered in the sophomore year.

For another example, I am now filming "The Wind", Mr. Wang Zhiwen is a well-known teacher whose line skills are top-notch, and in the process of cooperating with him, I realized that I still have a lot of weak links in my lines, and the process of cooperation is also a learning process. ”

"I've seen a few of your interviews before, and you said that you don't like your repetitive roles, but you played the roles of educated youths in "Balzac and the Little Tailor" and "Beauty Grass", isn't this a repetition?"

Reporter Yi's question was sharp and direct. made He Xin a little uncomfortable, because in most of the interviews, most of the reporters' questions were tactful, even if they were more sensitive, they would use a roundabout strategy, and few people were as direct as her.

"Although they are all educated youth, this cannot be said to be a repetition. The characters have different personalities, different life backgrounds, and different environments, including the environment in which they settle in the queue. Ma Jianling in "The Little Tailor" is more introverted, while Liu Simeng in "Beauty Grass" is more flamboyant. ”

"Are you restrained or flamboyant?"

"Well, I guess I'm restrained. ”

"But a lot of the characters you create on the screen are flamboyant, did you deliberately choose a character with this kind of personality?"

"It's different, maybe it's a coincidence. There may be this kind of deliberate existence in the subconscious, after all, when you choose a role, you will deliberately avoid what you already have in yourself. A completely unfamiliar character is more challenging and creative. ”

When it comes to professional issues, He Xin is still very talkative, and he is usually reluctant to be interviewed because reporters' questions are often focused on some gossip or private life issues, which makes him very disgusted.

He admired the paralyzed reporter in front of him, because although her questions were direct, she was very professional.

Questions one after another, taking advantage of the opportunity for Reporter Yi to bow his head and take notes, he took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket.

Yi Lijing just raised his head at this time, and saw He Xin take out a box of big boxes from his pocket, and it can even be said that some low-grade Double Happiness cigarettes were obviously a little surprised.

As a senior writer at Southern People Weekly, she has interviewed many celebrities, most of whom smoke. For example, the penguin's little brother has a great addiction to smoking, and he almost never leaves his hand during the whole interview, and some bigwigs smoke soft Chinese, and some bigwigs smoke more expensive handmade cigars.

Although He Xin is only an actor, he is the owner of a film company.

He Xin saw Yi Lijing's strange gaze, so he reacted and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry!"

He was about to take back the cigarette he had just taken out, when he saw that Reporter Yi smiled and said, "It's okay! Uh, can you give me one?"

"Uh, of course!"

He Xin was a little surprised, but immediately handed one to the other party and helped the other party order it.

"Thank you!"

Yi Lijing took a puff, nodded and smiled: "This cigarette is good." ”

Journalists have a lot of work pressure, often need to rush manuscripts or something, and the proportion of smokers is very high, and there is no distinction between men and women. Yi Lijing also smoked occasionally, but she usually smoked the kind of slender lady's cigarette, and it was the first time she smoked such a cheap cigarette.

"You're a big smoker, aren't you?"

"This is also an interview question?" He Xin asked with a smile.

"No, just talk about it. ”

Yi Lijing also laughed, her face was paralyzed, it doesn't mean that she can't laugh, and her personality is still very cheerful in private. Introverts can't do a good job as a journalist.

"It shouldn't be too big, the main thing is that your questions are one after another, and they are all so professional, I can't handle it, so I want to take it slowly. He Xin said with a smile.

Yi Lijing's smoking posture is very elegant. In fact, a woman's external conditions may not be good, but she can make up for her congenital deficiencies through acquired things such as conversation and temperament. Yi Lijing probably belongs to this type.

"I'm curious, at your level...... Uh, or someone like yours at the current level of income doesn't seem to match the brand of cigarettes you're smoking right now?"

"Why don't you say don't match? I think it's a matter of liking and disliking, there's no such thing as matching and not matching. For example, some people like lobster geoduck, but some people just like soy milk fritters. Like is like, dislike is dislike, this seems to have no contradiction with the so-called identity, status, and income. "It's hard to pretend to be forced.

"Uh...... You're right, maybe I'm thinking too much. ”

Yi Lijing flipped through some of the content he had just written down, and then asked: "Just now you said that your idea of becoming an actor was to make money, is this still the idea?"

"Of course, being an actor is my profession, and it's a profession that I plan to do for the rest of my life, and it's certainly necessary to earn money. He Xin said frankly.

He continued: "Maybe the idea of making money was more urgent at first, after all, I was afraid of poverty before. However, as financial freedom is gradually achieved, the proportion of earning money has become less and less, but it cannot be said that there is none. ”

"Including you and Director Ning Hao to set up Xinhao Media together to make money?" Yi Lijing then asked.

"Not really. ”

He Xin shook his head with a smile, but there was a slight helplessness in his smile and said: "At the beginning, we didn't set up a company but a studio, because the two of us drummed up a movie, which was Ning Hao's debut film "Incense", at that time, we could neither find investment nor distributors, so we had to pay out of our own pockets. This required a name, the name of the filmmaker, so we set up a studio after the two of us. ”

"You just said that you are filming to make money, but now you are saying that you are making movies out of your own pocket, isn't it contradictory?" Yi Lijing's question was as sharp as ever.

He Xin smiled: "Because I was fooled by Ning Hao at the beginning. I was filming "Chinese-Style Divorce" directed by Shen Yan with Mr. Chen Daoming, Ning Hao was the assistant director of the group, and he told me that he wanted to ask me to make a movie, and I saw that although it was a low-budget production, the script was good, so I agreed. Later, I learned that there was no investment in this drama at all, Ning Hao took out all the money given by his family to buy a house to make this movie, and I didn't know if the movie could be released or sold after it was made, but I was already on his thief ship at that time......"

After laughing twice, his tone became serious, and at the same time he said with special emotion: "It's still out of emotion, I admired and moved Ning Hao's very pure attitude towards movies at that time, as one of the practitioners of the film, and my economic conditions were quite comfortable at that time, so I simply helped him do a good job in the movie "Incense". ”

"Later, "Incense" won an award in Venice, and I heard that you also bought a lot of countries, you didn't lose money, and you made money?"

"Yes, otherwise there would be no "Green Meadow" and "Stone" in the future, and there would be no Xinhao Media, and it may still be the Xinhao Studio. ”

Yi Lijing lowered his head and wrote down the main points, and then asked: "There is one thing I am particularly curious about, they all say that movies are very risky investments, but whether it is a movie or a TV series produced by your Xinhao Media in the past few years, it seems that you have never missed." And it is said that behind this series, you are the final decision-maker. It's not just good luck. Now you are well-known in the film industry for your good vision, and I heard that as long as it is a project you like, many people are willing to invest. ”

"It's not that exaggerated. He Xin smiled and shook his head.

Speaking of this, he habitually lit a cigarette, and the reason why he said habitual may be to be more stylish when pretending to be forced, and of course, there is also an important reason to cover up the inner weakness of his heart when cheating and bragging.

He also gestured to Yi Lijing, and reporter Yi waved his hand to say that he was exempt.

"Luck, this ingredient must be there. But what I am asking for is probably largely a coincidence. Of course, when we choose the script, we first look at the story from the audience's point of view, see if the story can attract me, and then pay attention to the artistic value of the work itself. You must first have an audience, after all, the audience needs to pay for a work to be filmed, just like you are a media, a report is also the first thing to consider is whether it can attract readers, isn't it?"

"Uh, yes!"

Yi Lijing nodded, but she suddenly found that the question was a little too much to ask.

She quickly skipped it, and then asked the question later: "Most of the films that your company invested in before were small-budget productions, and they took the route of small and broad, but why did you choose to shoot a large-investment project like "The Wind" this time?"

"First of all, Mr. Mai Jia attracted me, to be honest, when I saw it for the first time, I was shocked, it is hard to imagine that in that era, there would be such a group of young people who could really go to the soup for their faith. Secondly, this story is particularly exciting, and the theme is also very novel. From the audience's point of view, I would like to be able to see this story on the big screen more intuitively. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I didn't expect the investment to be so big at first, originally I used to be able to make this movie for twenty or thirty million, but later in the preparation process, I found that this investment was far from enough." For example, Qiu Zhuang described in the film is very luxurious, so it must be shown in the movie.

And then to truly restore that era, details and so on, all of which need to be inconsistent with history. For example, if you make an anti-Japanese film, you can't let the Eighth Route Army smoke cigars, wear high heels, apply oil, and work in a luxury villa, which is not only inconsistent with historical facts, but also the greatest disrespect for the martyrs of the Eighth Route Army who fought bloodily against the Japanese invaders. So a lot of investment is a must.

Especially later, director Xu Ke joined and put forward a lot of new ideas, which can make the work itself more exciting and refreshing to the audience, so this investment has been turning geometrically. ”

"With such a big investment, have you ever thought that you would lose money, after all, the front ...... Well, there are already so many examples. ”

Hearing this question, He Xin subconsciously straightened his chest, groaned slightly, and said in a thoughtful tone: "Of course I thought about it, but from my point of view, including my partner Director Ning Hao, and Mr. Yu of Bona, another investor in this drama, think that such a good story, we have reason and should let it be put on the screen for the audience to see."

Especially in this theme, when foreign enemies invaded, we have thousands of unsung heroes who made outstanding contributions and sacrifices to drive away the invaders, which are all worthy of our remembrance and are trying to do. ”

Speaking of "The Wind", he talked eloquently, on the one hand, for the promotion of the movie, and on the other hand, he did feel it. In particular, he has experienced the rapid changes in his homeland since then, which has strengthened his belief that his country is always on the right path, and in this regard, he feels it more strongly than anyone else.

It's just that Reporter Yi's eyes are obviously suspicious, and he feels as if he is singing a high note, which is a little insincere compared to the previous one.

Then, she changed the topic and said with a smile: "As we all know, you and your girlfriend are known and envious by the national audience, and they have been a model couple in the circle for so many years. But I'm still curious, how did you come together, was it love at first sight, or did you fall in love over time?"

He Xin is very helpless, what he is most annoying about is the question of personal feelings similar to this in the interview, but as a complete character interview, it can't be avoided, not to mention that both of them are actors and celebrities, and this topic is even more unavoidable.

"Well, from my point of view, it was love at first sight. ”

"Then why did you choose her? I'm afraid there are beautiful girls in Chinese opera. Yi Lijing asked curiously.

He Xin spread his hands: "It's very simple, the first beautiful girl I met in Chinese opera was her!"
