Chapter 10 Life Must Go On
Participating in the legendary finale banquet for the first time, He Xin was very excited.
The lobby of the restaurant was completely enveloped, and six tables were set up. He Xin swept around, probably except for the cameo weekly news, more than 50 people from the crew, including Gao Yuanyuan, who had already been completed, came.
As the leading actors, he, Li Bing, and Gao Yuanyuan were all arranged at the main table. It was the first time in his life that he had received this kind of treatment at a dinner, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Looking at the other people sitting at the main table, the director, producer, and producer, they are all the big guys of the crew, and even Li Bing, who usually jumps out, is much more honest at this time.
Although the producer of the drama "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is the Beijing Film Studio, in fact, it is just a factory logo, and the majority of the funds come from Wanwan, and the other part comes from France.
At this time, the chubby, kind-looking aunt sitting opposite He Xin was Sister Jiao Xiongpin, a senior filmmaker in Wanwan.
He Xin usually doesn't talk much, but in the past three months, no matter whether there is a play or not, he reports to the crew every day, silently rehearses the play, silently observes and learns, and takes the initiative to help move this and that when he finishes work, everyone likes this young man who works hard to be low-key.
Even the assistant director Niu Le, who was very resistant to him at first, gradually began to change his attitude as time went by.
At the time of parting, everyone toasted and exchanged contact information. He Xin's amount of wine is not large, three or four taels of liquor, and there are definitely no more than five bottles of beer, and he put it all on his face after two sips, and it didn't take long for him to be dizzy.
I finally survived to the end.
"New brother, sing K?"
"Xiaohe, let's go soak our feet together?"
In addition to playing cards and mahjong, the entertainment activities in these years are singing K and soaking feet in baths, but it doesn't seem to make much difference after more than ten years.
It's just that He Xin refused all, he didn't have all the five notes when he sang, and he was embarrassed, or he was bored to sit dry; as for soaking his feet, he was born with itchy soles of his feet, and he was not sensitive.
"Bang dang!"
Pushing open the iron door of the courtyard, I saw the landlord Lao Zhang, who was wearing an old man's shirt and big pants, was wandering around the courtyard, and his wife Aunt Zhang poked her head out of the house when she heard the movement.
It's rare that the two fathers and mothers are here in the afternoon.
"Yo, Xiaohe, long time no see!"
During this period, He Xin came back a few times, took some change of clothes or something, but he didn't meet in person, and he saw them for the first time in nearly three months.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, the two of you are very good, why didn't you go to play cards today?" He Xin greeted with a smile.
"Don't mention it, I've had bad luck lately...... Wow, it's so big, you drank it at noon!"
Lao Zhang came over, and when he got closer, he smelled a strong smell of wine on He Xin's body, and his eyes swept to a silver mountain bike pushed by He Xin, and said with a smile: "Yo, it's all changed, it seems that it's mixing well, what are you doing during this time?"
"I made a movie. β
"Oh......"
Lao Zhang nodded, and then he was stunned: "Uh, making a movie?"
It is estimated that this kind of thing of making a movie has long been beyond his prediction, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
He Xin was still dizzy at the moment, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, pointed to his head, and said, "Uncle Zhang, you are busy, I'll go back to the house to rest first." β
Looking at the back of He Xin's cart entering the house, Lao Zhang finally reacted.
"Make a movie, blow it!"
"Who? who makes the movie?" asked Aunt Zhang, standing at the door of the hall.
"Xiao He, he said that he went to make movies during this time. Phew, this is boundless!"
Lao Zhang didn't believe it at all, the old man looked up at the sky, shook his head and sighed: "What's going on these days, even Xiaohe has learned to pretend to be a big-tailed eagle." β
Aunt Zhang knew the virtue of her old man, and choked up: "How do you know that people brag?
"Big star, hmph, dream!"
Lao Zhang sneered, shook his head on the spot, and suddenly said: "Hey, his rent is due again, why did I forget to mention it to him?"
"Alright, the young man has just come back, let's talk about it when I have time. β
The conversation between the landlord and the mother-in-law, He Xin vaguely heard something, he was lying on the bed to recuperate.
He regretted a little that he told the truth just now, he didn't have to think that the news would definitely spread throughout the courtyard in the evening, and almost everyone in this area should know about it the next day, I'm afraid that most of them will be like Lao Zhang.
Alas, what a trouble!
There was something in his trouser pocket, and he remembered when he touched it, and Sister Jiao gave him a red envelope at the finale banquet, which was neither thick nor thin, and he was embarrassed to open it at that time.
I took it out and counted eight brand-new hundred-dollar bills.
Five thousand eight hundred yuan in three months, and a mountain bike was mixed.
The crew purchased more than a dozen of these silver mountain bikes, and he was familiar with the props, so he sneaked one before leaving. In addition, there is no money for food and accommodation in the crew, except for smoking, buying water, and drinking two meals, not only did it not lose money, but it also made a small profit.
He Xin grinned and counted the small accounts, and took a nap in a daze.
It was late in the evening when I woke up, and three months was not long, and there were two different residents in the hospital.
Sure enough, the news of his making a movie has spread, but fortunately, the situation is not as bad as he imagined, only two acquaintances came together and joked a few words. Most people have a busy day, tired and tired of begging for life, how can they care about whether they are bragging.
When Lao Zhang came to urge the rent, he brought him more than a dozen braised eggs, which were stewed by Aunt Zhang with pickled vegetables, fresh and salty, and He Xin was especially good at this bite.
Of course, Lao Zhang exchanged for half a year's rent.
Although the environment here is almost the same, the landlord's mouth is broken, but there is still a little human touch, and it is actually very good to live well.
After resting for two days, He Xin started express delivery again. Mountain bikes are good, but they can't be loaded and are not practical. So sometimes movies don't necessarily fit perfectly with real life.
I don't know why, after filming "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", He Xin became a little confused. It's not that he is ambitious, he used to have a clear goal of making money, but now the goal of making money has not changed, but this confusion is thinking at the ideological level.
Sometimes he rides on the street, and he feels that he is no different from Xiaogui. In his subconscious, he doesn't want to live his old life again, but he doesn't know what kind of life he should live.
The movie is like an open mysterious door, and it is wonderful inside, but he doesn't know whether he should step into it or not.
But no matter what, life has to go on.
Li Bing came to him twice, lived together for three months, and left the topic of filming, He Xin found that the two had no common language.
One is secondary 2 and naΓ―ve, and likes to ride tricks and sing K, while the other is mature and silent, and doesn't seem to have any preferences. can't talk together, the scene is cold and awkward, and the relationship inevitably begins to become estranged.
Li Mengnan also paged him once, and learned that he was still doing couriers, so he gave him a few words of encouragement, and at the same time told him not to forget the registration for the Chinese opera training class in September.
Recently, this product has also been running from time to time, and in a new drama rehearsed in the courtyard, he mixed the role of the male number three, and he was busy rehearsing, saying that when he was waiting for the performance, he must be invited to the performance.
He Xin's current savings are more than 20,000 yuan, and it is estimated that he will be able to save 3 or 4 thousand by September, and tuition fees are not a problem. But if I want to go to school, I am afraid that I will have to quit my current job, and I will have to resign from the semester for a year, so I can't sit back and eat, and then I have to find a way to do odd jobs and earn more or less living expenses.
