He Xin later learned that Tang Wei was not the lucky one who was hit by pie falling from the sky, she was recommended to Li Yu by Li Yu's friend Lai Shengkuan.

He Xin is no stranger to Lai Shengchuan, who worked in Chinese opera for a period of time as a visiting professor, and also rehearsed a drama of "Like a Dream" created by himself, Tang Wei, who was still a student of the directing department at the time, played the role of the wife of the No. 5 patient in it, which was greatly praised by Director Lai.

Therefore, opportunities will not hit you for no reason, opportunities always come to the prepared mind.

And Lai Shengchuan recommended not only Tang Wei to Li Huan, but also a drama actor named Zhu Zhiyin from Wanwan, it is said that Li Huan also took a fancy to the classical beauty of this actress at that time. At that time, based on his appearance, size, and experience in film and television performances, Tang Wei finally won.

It is precisely for this reason that the feeling of not being trusted in He Xin's heart is even stronger. But if you think about it empathically, Tang Wei's inauthentic approach seems to be a norm both in the circle and in society.

If she is not selected, she is still the heroine of "Double-sided Tape", and everyone is safe;

But if all this is replaced by others, He Xin may feel understandable, but they are friends, especially as a person who has always taken the word "friend" very seriously, He Xin will feel a feeling of being deeply hurt.

The "Good luck to you!" he said to Tang Wei on the phone was not angry, he knew too well what Tang Wei would face after "Lust and Caution".

After the overturn of "Lust and Caution" in later generations, Li Yu was the Oscar director and "the light of the Chinese", and Liang Yingdi was the Cannes actor.

Of course, Tang Wei succeeded in the end, and she drew the clearest and most effective guide to the top for the actresses who are struggling in the entertainment industry - when you have no future, no fame, and even youth begins to gradually move away, leaving only a little visible people, then becoming famous is the best shortcut.

In fact, the matter of undressing is not new in Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as Qiu Xiaomada in "Red Fruit Lamb", Weng Hong in "Ten Tortures", Sister Lang Zhong Liti in "Bangniang", not to mention Shu Qi in the most classic "Jade Girl's Heart Sutra".

Even He Xin himself didn't become famous? He was not as lucky as Tang Wei is now, he was favored by Oscar-level directors, and he was for the 80,000 yuan salary at that time. But I never thought that I would become famous in one fell swoop, all the way to the present.

At this time, he suddenly found that he understood why Hu Jun was disappointed by the Golden Horse Awards back then, and he was haunted for a long time. He and Hu Jun are two people, one for money and the other for fame. But Hu Jun made such a great sacrifice, but did not reap the expected honor, it would be difficult for anyone to accept it. Fortunately, he later won a trophy of the Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Award, which can be regarded as comfort.

Immediately after Sister Hong, she called again, and vigorously greeted her little agents and little actors to pay for it. Speaking of which, she wanted to push Li Xiaoran and Sister Ge at first, but she didn't take Tang Wei to heart, and Tang Wei didn't dare to say hello to her before the audition.

Of course, now that she has got the role, it is also ecstatic for Sister Hong. After all, it was the actor under his own company who finally became the lucky one. In business, compared with Li Yan's movie, what is the small-budget TV series on Xinhao Media's side? Not to mention that the contract has not been signed, at most it is a little difficult to get over the face.

......

Night, intermission.

"Hey, how many cities are you going to run this time?"

A slightly thick calf stretched out from the silk air conditioner quilt and kicked He Xin, who was lying next to the sage time.

In early June, after more than four months of filming, "New Shanghai Beach" was finally completed. The original little bump between the two disappeared as the dust settled on the casting.

"What you guys, you have to run along. He Xindao.

It is said that the leading actors in "Stone" are all unknown crooked melons and cracked dates, and the façade is all supported by two people. Although Xu Guangtou is also a little famous, the contract he signed at the beginning did not have this obligation, at most, when he ran to Shanghai, he pulled it out and slipped.

"I still want to take advantage of this time to rest!"

"There are not many, and there are only seven or eight cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, and Xi'an. He Xin groaned.

The roadshow is still only a preliminary plan, and after the official release of the movie, the momentum of the box office will have to be specifically adjusted. He Xin plans to take advantage of the first half month of the movie's release to run to as many cities as possible. I don't have to worry about anything else when the movie is released this year, but the most troublesome thing is the rampant piracy. And with the rise of video websites, it is now not only pirated discs, some video websites even openly display pirated copies on the Internet.

The original version of "Stone" is propaganda, and it is more about word-of-mouth communication. But at that time, piracy was already flooding the streets, so even if it became a hit, the box office was only more than 20 million.

In addition to simple publicity, a large part of the reason for increasing publicity and running roadshows is to compete with piracy. With so many copies of the movie released at once, even if it was like when "Hero" was released a few years ago, the one-on-one marking of the copy is still unguardable.

No way, this thing has too much interest.

After paraphrasing "Liuhai Fortress" hit the street, in response to the topic of Liuhai, Tenghua said when he shook the pot, "This is an irreversible thing".

Therefore, the piracy of movies in recent years is as rampant as piracy on the Internet now, and there is no way to do it at all. I remember that when I first wrote an online article more than ten years ago, the subscription ratio at that time was about 5:1, and it dropped to 20:1 seven or eight years ago, 50:1 four or five years ago, and now it is almost 100:1.

Far from it.

"And what's going on with your other two movies?"

"The later stage of "Curiosity Kills the Cat" is almost over, and I heard Director Zhang say that it may be set for this year's National Day, and "The Ballad of Yunshui" has been set for the New Year. ”

The two of them lay side by side on the bed, chatting with each other during the intermission.

Cheng Hao let out an "oh", was silent for a long time, and sighed leisurely: "I really didn't expect that Li Yu would pick Tang Tang in the end?"

He Xin didn't answer at first, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "You have been in touch recently?"

"Of course, she came to visit the class a short time ago. I wondered at the time, why did she come to Shanghai quietly? It was only later that I watched the news to find out that she had been hit by Li Yu and came to Shanghai to receive training. But she immediately called me afterwards to explain, saying that she had signed a non-disclosure agreement and couldn't talk nonsense. ”

"Didn't you say anything else?"

"She still said......"

Cheng Hao said, turned over, looked at him with a smile on his face, and said: "It's not authentic to say that she did this, and that you must still be angry now, and she doesn't dare to see you, so she wants me to help say a few good words." ”

"Humph!"

He Xin couldn't help but snort.

Tang Wei temporarily released pigeons, which made him very shameless, and he just received a call from Cheng Qiang, the director of "Double-sided Tape", this afternoon, asking how to deal with the heroine's affairs?

"Okay, don't hum! I think it's normal for Tang Tang to do this. What's more, director Lai Shengchuan recommended her, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you can't let her give up? Besides, if she doesn't sign the contract, she is leaving a way back for herself. If she signs the contract, this matter will be difficult!" Cheng Hao pushed him.

He glanced at his girlfriend obliquely and said, "You haven't said how your audition went?"

"Don't mention it, Li Yu didn't stay in Shanghai for a long time, except for the location survey, it seems that he went to the theater, and he didn't arrange an audition at all. The girlfriend waved her hand.

"Since you speak for your good sister, then you took the scene where she released the pigeons!"

"You can figure it out, how can I have time, I still have to go to class next semester!"

"About the class, I'll say hello to Brother Hao. Besides, this drama was tailor-made for you from the beginning, and if you don't want to, I found Tang Tang. Now for a while and a half, you will let me go somewhere to find someone. ”

Seeing that her boyfriend was pitiful, and she worked hard in the first half, Cheng Hao was a little unbearable, so she had to say: "You let me think about it first." ”

......

June 30, Beijing.

Bona's distribution ability is not covered, probably except for the government-run China Film, it is the most professional of Bona.

After the publicity of the Internet and media in the early stage, the tickets for the premiere were sold out early. The forced style of "Stone" is naturally not as good as the pomp and circumstance of "Wuji", which costs tens of millions of dollars and the CPPCC auditorium.

The premiere was arranged in the IMAX hall of the Huaxing Cinema in Beijing. Bookbag netting

"Mr. Han!"

"Director Huang!"

"Director Chen!"

“......”

He Xin was wearing a black dress very seriously today, standing at the door of the theater and picking up Yu Dong with him...... Ahh

Thanks to Yu Dong's connections in the circle, there are many guests who come to cheer. Han Sanye, Huang Jianxin, Chen Kexin, Lu Chuan, etc. are all relatively heavyweight guests.

Of course, there are many stars who come to cheer for He Xin's face, such as Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Baibai, Diao Yinan, Guo Jingyu, etc., and Li Bailian, Hu Jun, and Jiang Qinqin in actors.

"Sister Wu Yue!"

He Xin said hello to Wu Yue, who had worked very happily in "I Am Not a Hero" before, and then stretched out his hand to the man she was holding with obvious forehead tattoos and was quite anxious: "Teacher Chen, thank you for your support!"

Chen Pancake obviously used He Xin's title quite well, and shook hands with him with a simple smile and said, "Hehe, Teacher He, you're welcome!"

At this time, Wu Yue did not have a trace of Ling Ling's shadow, just like the cheerful Wen Lu in "The Age of Peace" ten years ago, and said with a smile: "Xiaohe, I watched the trailer on the Internet, it's funny! Don't let me down!"

"Sister Wu Yue, I won't let you down. "He Xin is very serious.

At the same time, he also said to Uncle Pancake beside her: "Teacher Chen should not be disappointed." ”

The "Nobody" played by Uncle Pancake in later generations is actually the same way as "Stone".

Uncle Pancake smiled at him politely, but he was a little disapproving. At this time, Mr. Chen was still very literary and artistic, and he didn't like these so-called low-cost comedies very much.

There are always 40 small guests and celebrities, and they finally supported the scene.

It's over, when He Xin followed Yu Dong into the theater, he inadvertently swept it, but saw that he didn't know who arranged the seats, and Wu Yue and the others were actually sitting next to Jiang Qinqin. may have just met, Uncle Pancake was shaking hands with Jiang Qinqin with a very bright smile at this moment, and Wu Yue, who was sitting next to him, was also smiling, feeling weird. But at the same time, there seems to be a faint discomfort in my heart.

Host, Bona invited Liu Yiwei, a famous chef of CCTV and the spokesperson of Totole Chicken Essence. Not to mention that Liu Yiwei's overall style with "Stone" is quite compatible.

Before the movie was screened, as usual, the main creators appeared on stage one after another, probably except for He Xin, including his girlfriend, who had never experienced such a big formation, and they were all a little nervous. Ning Hao stumbled when he spoke.

According to the routine, Liu Yiwei interviewed one by one, and there was a gag in the middle, which was not long, only about ten minutes. A low-key movie like "Stone", no matter how fanciful it is, the movie is better than everything.

The lights slowly dimmed, and the noise became quieter.

Skipping the dragon logo and the logos of the two production companies, a faucet dripping down drip of water appeared on the screen, and the picture turned to a close-up of Guo Tao's painful face, and the camera slowly lengthened, and he was seen in a consultation room.

"In addition to the fact that I can't pee and always want to pee, what are the other symptoms?"

Then Ning Hao, who was wearing a pair of glasses and dressed as a doctor, appeared in the camera.

"Poof!"

Sitting next to He Xin, Cheng Hao, who was still seeing a piece for the first time, suddenly burst into laughter and said in a low voice: "Why is he also inside?"

At the same time, there were a few sporadic laughter at the scene, and it was obvious that some viewers had recognized the confused-looking doctor inside as the director who had just stood on the stage and spoke nervously. It's just that the director appears in his own play, and there is always an inexplicable sense of joy.

"This product just wants to stamp it, and I want to leave some traces in my movie, and by the way, I will have a good time. ”

In fact, He Xin thinks that Ning Hao still has a bit of acting talent, and if he is not a director, he may be able to become an excellent comedian.

It's just that this shot flashed by, and suddenly jumped onto the cableway across the river.

Deng Chao, who was dressed as a coke, held a can of Coke in his hand, and was teasing Cheng Hao with a mouthful of Gangpu: "Whenever I look at the city from this angle." I have a strong feeling that the city is the mother, and we live in her womb......"

The two aunts in the cable car gave him a roll of the eye at the same time: "Hooligans!"

Deng Chao is also a familiar face, so he is so complacent, which immediately attracted a burst of laughter. When Cheng Hao turned around, he stepped on him hard with his gradually high heels.

"Ahh

Deng Chao screamed, and as soon as he let go of his hand holding the Coke outside the cable car window, the Coke can fell......

But at this time, the focus of the audience's attention was Deng Chao's extremely exaggerated expression and screams, this guy was already good at this, and the laughter in the theater was even louder.

But the camera suddenly turned again, jumping to Zhang Yi, who was awesome, embarrassed, and arrogant, walking on the small street outside the handicraft factory, and the camera just flashed, and Liu Hua and Yue Xiaojun and Huang Bo, two stupid thieves, also appeared.

Liu Hua's pickup truck was investigated, and Huang Bo walked to the traffic police with a hammer.

"Boom!"

Not far away, in the alley, a small van slowly slid and landed on a parked BMW sedan.

The picture actually turned: Zhang Yi sprayed a big word on the wall.

Although the footage on the cable car is funny, it is followed by a series of headless beginnings that make the audience and guests sitting below confused.

But before they could question it, they saw:

"Holy shit!"

Zhang Yi, who was wearing small glasses, was spraying words, when he suddenly heard a sound, and watched a bread crash into his BMW.

Then, the camera turned again, Guo Tao and Liu Ye were driving a van, chatting about the pie falling in the world, when they heard a "bang!", and the glass was smashed by a can falling from the sky. The two got out of the car and scolded, but they didn't know that the car had slowly slid away.

"High-tech, unmanned! I didn't see it, don't touch me, don't drive it if you can't drive it!"

"Haha!"

At this point, while the audience was laughing, four words came out in unison: I see! Those seemingly scattered scenes have made the main characters and cause and effect in the film clear.

In just a few minutes, two small flashbacks were used, and the audience only found it fresh and interesting.

But the knowledgeable people at the bottom were full of surprise. Even Mr. Chen's pancakes, who originally only had the mentality of accompanying his girlfriend and didn't care at all, suddenly lit up, and his eyes didn't care about peeking at Jiang Qinqin who was sitting next to him, and subconsciously sat up straight.

"Lola Run"!

Probably the names of these two classic movies come to mind in the minds of these people.

I really didn't expect that there would be directors in China who would dare to shoot like this!
