Chapter 546: Don't owe favors and don't owe money

The relationship between He Xin and Jiang Qinqin has never really been broken, after all, many things can only be understood but not spoken, if they are really broken, I am afraid that even friends will not have to do it.

Jiang Qinqin is no longer young, if you use the words that her girlfriend often talks about, she is already at the age of tofu scum, but she is still stumbling on the road of emotion.

He Xin often thinks that if he hadn't appeared, he might have become a fairy couple with Uncle Pancake a long time ago, and even had children.

It is precisely because of this that whenever he faces Jiang Qinqin, he always has a sense of guilt.

In fact, from the beginning when discussing the candidate of Anna, He Xin thought of Jiang Qinqin.

Out of a kind of psychology that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, but at the same time, it is not to make up for the guilt in his heart.

It is said that in the past two years, Jiang Qinqin has not had any eye-catching works except for starring in the niche movie "Sister Dictionary", which was nominated for the "Golden Phoenix Award" and the Golden Rooster Award by the China Film Performing Arts Society.

Among the post-75s flowers in China, she should be regarded as the earliest to become famous, but she is obviously lacking in stamina. More than ten years ago, she was the female number one in Qiong Yao dramas, but she is still fluttering in various bloody costume dramas. may be growing older, and there are already signs of obscurity, and even match second- and third-rate artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan. It was inevitable that He Xin would be a little sad when he saw it.

Just as he was sitting in the small box of the Japanese restaurant in the women's market, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Jiang Qinqin, who was not powdered and had clear soup and noodles, hurriedly walked in, took off her shoes, and asked in her mouth: "What do you want me to help with, so urgent?"

Similar to this kind of tatami mat layout where you need to take off your shoes, your girlfriend will never patronize it, otherwise it will be a bit of a cross-smell.

He Xin is also a rare visit, tatami mats, low tables, orange soft light, people feel with an ambiguous and romantic atmosphere. And this feeling seems to be a special match for the current relationship between him and Jiang Qinqin.

"Come, come, sit, what do you want to eat?" He Xin greeted with a smile.

"Whatever, I just woke up and don't have much appetite. ”

"When has it been, you've just gotten up! Looks like you've been having a good time lately. He Xin said with a smile.

It's no wonder that listening to the voice on the phone just now was a little lazy. His mind subconsciously made up a beautiful picture of Sleeping Beauty.

Jiang Qinqin smiled bitterly: "Don't laugh at me, do you think I'm willing to sleep until three poles a day?"

"Hey,Didn't you have a lot of books looking for you last year.,How can you have nothing to do?"

He Xin was a little surprised, although she was a little outdated, but after all, she was still the new Golden Eagle TV queen, and no matter how bad she was, she would not fall to the point of starting filming without a scene.

"Alas, it's still the same sentence, I can't look down on me, and I can't take my turn to look for me, what do you say I should do?" Jiang Qinqin sighed.

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about it, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing Jiang Qinqin's eagerness, he was slightly moved in his heart, many times adversity is a friend. At the moment, he didn't sell anything, and took out a thick handful of scripts from his bag and pushed it in front of her.

"Our company is preparing to open a new play, and I think you are very suitable for the heroine in it, so I want to ask you for a favor. ”

"Oh, I thought something was going on?"

Jiang Qinqin was obviously relieved, and when she saw the name on the script, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be "Anna and Wang Gui"! I heard that your drama is very popular, and many people are grabbing the role of Anna!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "So you asked me to do you a favor and that's it? Isn't your girlfriend acting very well in "Double-sided Tape", why don't you let her continue acting?"

"Oh, her schedule is a bit conflicting, so I'll ......"

"Yes, it turns out that it's my turn that your girlfriend can't look down on!" Jiang Qinqin looked at him, pursed her lips and said a pun.

"Uh...... No, I definitely didn't mean that, I just think you're suitable for the role of Anna, really, I definitely don't mean anything else, and Cheng Cheng is good on her side...... Well, this script hasn't come out yet, so it's been a long time ago......"

Seeing that he looked anxious, Jiang Qinqin laughed out loud and said, "Okay, I'm kidding you! Seriously, you watch such a good show, everyone else is robbing it, you just bring it to me, I should thank you!"

"Then you can read the script first, and if there is no problem, I will ask the company to contact your agent. ”

"Okay!"

Jiang Qinqin nodded, touched her stomach, and said with a smile: "Since the business is over, let's eat something, I'm hungry." ”

Hey, who said you didn't have an appetite just now?

"Uh...... Oh, waiter, a la carte!"

......

"Jiang Qinqin?"

Hearing He Xin say Jiang Qinqin's name, Cheng Qiang lowered his head and muttered for a moment.

To be honest, he was inevitably a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, He Xin proposed this new candidate, and at the same time rejected the candidate Haiqing he recommended at the beginning. In addition to the fact that there is Mr. Huang's favor in this, he really thinks that Hai Qing is very suitable for the role of Anna.

But now this Jiang Qinqin is different, first of all, as the queen of the Golden Eagle, she has to throw off the third- and fourth-tier little star Haiqing ten streets in terms of fame; secondly, in terms of acting, people's awards are not won for nothing, they have all been proven; the key is that no matter whether people have image or temperament, Haiqing can't compare with others at all.

Of course, in terms of salary, Jiang Qinqin is definitely much more expensive than Haiqing. is precious, and the starring role of Jiang Qinqin and Hai Qing in a drama are fundamentally two different things. Nowadays, TV stations are paying more and more attention to star bonuses when buying dramas, even if the salary is a little more expensive, it is a small drop in the income of the whole drama.

Cheng Qiang still has a bit of emotional intelligence, since Jiang Qinqin crushed the Haiqing recommended by him in all aspects, so why should he bother with a little so-called face?

Besides, Hai Qing is not his student, he is just selling Teacher Huang a face. What's more, Jiang Qinqin's candidate was proposed by investors, and he also had enough reasons to explain to Mr. Huang.

After thinking about the stakes clearly, Cheng Qiang immediately said with a sincere face: "Suitable! Jiang Qinqin's candidate is too suitable!"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to compliment: "Xiaohe, it's still your unique vision!"

He Xin was a little embarrassed by what he said. To be honest, he was really worried that Cheng Qiang would have a different opinion, even if he didn't say it, it wouldn't be good if he had a pimple in his heart. Now seeing Cheng Qiang's statement, he is completely relieved.

As for the screenwriter, to put it mildly, asking for her opinion is purely respectful, and in terms of the right to choose actors, screenwriters usually have no real right to speak.

So he reciprocated: "Teacher Cheng, since the two roles of Wang Gui and Anna have been decided, then the other roles should also be grasped, you look at the arrangement, start the camera as soon as possible." ”

Cheng Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and actually subconsciously stood up and said: "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible, if everything goes well, I don't think there should be much problem with starting up in early June." ”

"Double-sided tape" is in front of the jade, and "Anna and Wang Gui" has long attracted wide attention. Even if you can't get the leading role, the supporting role is very sought-after in the eyes of many third- and fourth-tier young actors.

Cheng Qiang is Nortel's teacher, and he may not be able to do things like "unspoken rules". But it's also a good opportunity for him to manage his network and return favors. Interpersonal communication is originally about you helping me, and I helping you!

Although Cheng Hao devoted herself to the preparation of "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" during this time, it does not mean that she does not care about the play "Anna and Wang Gui". She has a good relationship with screenwriter Liuliu and often has phone contact.

As soon as He Xin came home that day, she asked, "The role of Anna is set for Jiang Qinqin?"

"Yes, many people recommend it, and if you agree to this, you will inevitably offend that, so you simply don't agree to any of them, so everyone has nothing to say. As for Jiang Qinqin, on the one hand, it is suitable, and on the other hand, she also looked for me last year. Besides, she is the queen of Golden Eagle, and her acting skills and popularity are not bad. He Xin said calmly.

Cheng Hao was thoughtful, she remembered that her boyfriend had told her about it, nodded and said, "That's right, Jiang Qinqin is indeed the right person." ”

From beginning to end, she never doubted that there would be anything between her boyfriend and Jiang Qinqin, mainly because Jiang Qinqin became famous too early, so that people like Cheng Hao are obviously only four or five years apart, but they feel like they are two generations of actors. She hadn't even thought about it in that direction.

In fact, as soon as He Xin entered the door just now, he heard his girlfriend ask about Jiang Qinqin, and his heart suddenly chuckled. How to say it, during this time, my girlfriend seems to be possessed by Li Baoli, and she is always a little suspicious. He could only pretend to be calm and quickly explained.

If you look closely, there are still loopholes in his answer. My girlfriend casually asked, why do you explain so much?

As the saying goes, an explanation is a cover-up.

Explaining so much is in itself a cover-up.

Fortunately, his girlfriend didn't think about it that way, which made him a little relieved.

After washing his hands, he didn't dare to go to the sofa, and under the pretext of preparing dinner, he went directly into the kitchen.

He opened the refrigerator and looked at it, and he remembered that there were a lot of leftovers from last night, such as a large plate of braised pork ribs, and half a chicken. Originally, he was going to fry two vegetables tonight. But now, the fridge is empty, and there is nothing left.

"What about the dishes, what about the leftover ribs and chicken from yesterday, are you going to pour them all out?" he asked aloud into the living room.

His first reaction was that his girlfriend had fallen, and he was still secretly scolding this loser in his heart.

"What did you pour it? I ate all the ribs and half a chicken. ”

"You pig, I still want to keep it for dinner!"

He Xin couldn't help blurting out, but then he inevitably wondered: "No, you don't lose weight?"

"Minus, but not now, now I just need to maintain a normal body shape, and I will reduce it when I am filming. Cheng Hao walked to the kitchen door and said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" He Xin was a little puzzled.

"Today I discussed the character of Li Baoli with Director Xiaoshuai, and I felt that before her husband died, she was happy, and her body shape should be in line with the figure of an ordinary woman around thirty years old, and then Ma Xuewu committed suicide, and she had to go to do a flat shoulder, and the whole person began to slowly lose weight. So I first decided that as long as I maintain a normal body shape, it doesn't matter if I get a little fatter, and then slowly lose weight with the plot during the shooting, so that the characters will appear more realistic. ”

He Xin understood this, but he couldn't help but be stunned: "So you plan to shoot smoothly?"

"Of course, you can't let me be like the spring man, fat for a while and thin for a while, right? ”

If the process is not good, it is not that Siliu does not understand, and the follow-up means an increase in cost. It's just that she saw her boyfriend frowning and was silent, so she hurriedly grabbed his arm and said coquettishly: "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" originally had a small investment, and even if it was filmed, it wouldn't add much cost. And today Sister Hua called me and said that Lao Wu also has the intention of investing in this drama, and it will be okay if your cost is a little higher!"

"Mr. Wu is interested in investing, why don't I know?" He Xin couldn't help but be surprised.

"Oh, Sister Hua called me today just to let me probe your tone, you still don't understand!"

In the drama "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", he originally wanted to fulfill his girlfriend's dream of a big screen. To put it bluntly, I didn't want to make any money at all, and I was even ready to lose money. At this time, some people want to invest, from an economic point of view, of course, it is a good thing, and some people share the risk, so why not do it?

But my girlfriend is now signing a personal contract with Wang Jinghua, and she actually has nothing to do with Orange Sky International. Lao Wu wanted to invest at this time, on the one hand, the investment was not big, even if he lost money, it was not painful; on the other hand, just like the original intention of Bona to invest in Ning Hao's "Green Meadow", it was a relationship between the two and a lot.

It's just that He Xin doesn't want to owe any favors because of this, and as his girlfriend just said, "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" originally had a small investment, even if it was a smooth shooting, it would be a great increase of one or two million at most.

Now with his value, this amount of money is nothing, even if the company is not easy to explain, it doesn't matter if he takes it out privately.

"Go back and tell Sister Hua about it, and forget about the investment. In addition, you ...... with Director Xiaoshuai"

He hesitated, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, I'll call him myself when I go back." ”

Their sixth-generation directors are all this urine, and they are too freewheeling when filming. Just like when Wang Xiaoshuai took the investor's money at the beginning and wanted to shoot "Me 11", but most of the money was tossed, and he couldn't shoot it anymore, so he had to find another one and re-shoot "Me 19", which later became "Qinghong".

Of course, the movie was a success, but when it was filmed, it was really miserable. Therefore, he also has to tell his big brother to try to be as detailed as possible, and be a little more generous, so as not to make any moths all the time.
