Chapter 701: I can't see through it, I can't understand it
"Jiang Qinqin!"
"Sister Qinqin, isn't she filming "Before Dawn"......
He Xin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Senior Brother Tian contacted him?"
"Yes, I think Jiang Qinqin is particularly suitable. At first, I was worried that she might not be able to look down on such a role as Xiaoju if she was so big, but as soon as Tian Yu asked, people agreed. Speaking of which, it still depends on your teacher He's face. Zhang Meng said with a smile.
He is indeed very happy, the role of Xiao Ju is nominally the second female lead, but in fact, there are very few scenes, originally he wanted to find a random actress, but he didn't expect to attract a big name like Jiang Qinqin to join.
Of course, he is still self-aware, and he doesn't think his script is very attractive, and people must be the face of Xinhao Media, the investor behind the sale of this film.
"How did she ......?"
In contrast, He Xin's expression became strange, and halfway through his words, he sighed in his heart, so he had to nod and say, "That's it." ”
Speaking of which, Jiang Qinqin's role as Xiaoju is indeed a suitable person, regardless of age, acting skills, and appearance conditions, it is very suitable for the character.
Liu Jiang's "Before Dawn" was launched a few years ago, although He Xin only watched the first episode and made a decision to invest in this drama, but later after reading the whole script, I found that the difference with the original TV series was quite large.
For example, in the script, Tan Zhongshu is the same as the stationmaster in "Latent", he is very old, and he is like father and son with Liu Xinjie;
But Liu Jiang has his own ideas, Li Bohan is so colorful, and he also absorbs, he shouldn't be a fat man, so he decided on his old team, the villain in "Set Off Now", Zhang Xilin, the actor of the decoration manager Tang Jinshan, Sun Dapu should be a fat man, and Ren Zhengbing, who is also his buddy, became the best candidate.
Of course, this can also be understood as Liu Jiang taking care of his own people, after all, changing roles for the sake of actors is also commonplace in the circle, everyone has a small circle, and everyone has a relationship.
In the original version, Qi Peilin, who was supposed to be played by Zhang Xilin, Liu Jiang unexpectedly found the senior brother Tian in He Xin's mouth - Tian Yu.
This guy is just like Wang Qinian in "Celebrating More Than Years" in which he played in the future, he is especially good at drilling, and took the opportunity to help prepare "The Piano of Steel" to break into the interior of Xinhao Media, and he will come to things himself, match with the characters, and with the company's internal recommendation, he successfully got the role of Qi Peilin.
And the two most important roles in the play, Tan Zhongshu and Liu Xinjie, are the most difficult to determine. Especially the role of Liu Xinjie is very outstanding, someone recommended Wu Xiubo, who is not very famous, to Liu Jiang at the beginning, and Liu Jiang is quite satisfied with the other party's appearance conditions.
But he was vetoed by He Xin, he originally wanted to find Zhang Yi, the drama master, but when Deng Chao came to visit the door, he happened to see this script, and he was immediately fascinated by the Eighth Bureau of Military Intelligence and Liu Xinjie in the script, and strongly asked to play the role of Liu Xinjie.
Although Liu Jiang is satisfied with Wu Xiubo, compared with the popular student Deng Chao, he naturally can't ask for it. Then Tan Zhongshu's candidate was decided on Lin Yongjian, because of the age of the actor, the relationship between father and son in the script was changed to a teacher and friend, who used to be in the army, and fought together in a bloody battle during the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Xinjie recited Tan Zhongshu from the pile of dead people.
Gu Yejia played by Haiqing in the original version is really embarrassing, her makeup is not good, she is a little forced to pretend to be tender, and her high cheekbones are slightly sharp and mean, and her appearance is not at all compatible with the tender Gu Yejia.
He Xin wanted to find Sun Li to make a cameo at first, but this little girl didn't know if it was because the starring role was Deng Chao, or because she was filming "Little Aunt Duohe" and couldn't leave, so she didn't give face at all and resigned.
Liu Jiang had no choice but to find Jiang Qinqin, who he met when he met He Xin that day, to help.
It is said that after Jiang Qinqin starred in the hit drama "Wang Gui and Anna", her career ushered in a new peak, compared to the original time and space, she married Uncle Pancake early and had children, and was in a semi-retired state, and now it is a completely different scene.
She has a good relationship with Liuliu, but because He Xinwan rejected "Snail House", she was bought by Huayi Brothers, and at the same time co-produced with Shanghai's Media and Broadcasting Group, the director was replaced by Tenghua in Nortel's small circle, so naturally she had nothing to do, and the heroine was replaced by Haiqing, the proud protégé of the little obedient Teacher Huang.
However, now as the first sister in the field of TV dramas, Jiang Qinqin does not worry about no filming at all, and after "Wang Gui and Anna", she has starred in a costume drama and a period drama one after another. This time in "Before Dawn", Liu Jiang is very satisfied with her, and has booked her as the heroine of her next drama "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law".
This drama is naturally still invested by Xinhao Media, and the actor naturally cannot be Huang Haibo, another proud protégé of the little good teacher Huang, but chose the drama master Zhang Yi.
Before Xinhao's media TV series relied on Cheng Qiang alone, he successively filmed "Double-sided Tape" and "Wang Gui and Anna", he was more happy to cooperate with Liuliu, and he didn't understand He Xinwan's rejection of "Snail House" at the beginning, he thought that this book is closely related to the current social and current affairs, and has strong practical significance, both artistically and ornamentally more than the previous two works.
He Xin could only explain to him in private, it was nothing more than a book similar to this kind of exposing all the ills of the current society, and Xinhao Media really didn't dare to shoot with small arms and legs.
Although Cheng Qiang was a little disapproving, he also understood. It's not that there are no such examples before, after filming, I feel that it is out of place, or the broadcast has a large social impact, and it still has a bad impact, a ban, and there is no return.
Cheng Qiang currently has no good scripts at hand for a while, so he has to go back to school to continue teaching. And the emergence of Liu Jiang just fills this vacancy, so as not to make the company's TV drama industry stagnate.
For Liu Jiang, his previous film debut "Immediate Departure" was released in the unpopular schedule that had just ended in the early summer vacation in September last year, and not many copies were released, and like the later release of "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", it was only released in a few major box office cities.
In the unpopular schedule, the competition was relatively small, and at the beginning of the release, it actually got more than 10% of the scheduled films, and the box office of more than 9 million was brushed in three weeks after its release.
Speaking of which, Liu Jiang is quite regrettable, if he insists on it for a few more days, maybe he will be able to break 10 million, but there is no way, at that time, it is close to the National Day Golden Week, and blockbusters such as "Painted Skin" will be released together, and small-budget comedies like "Leave Now" without big casts will have no room for survival at all.
The domestic box office has almost been able to recoup its investment, and He Xin took the copy to the Tokyo Film Festival and shouted twice by the way. Not to mention, as the largest film trading market in Asia, it actually sold more than 100,000 US dollars of overseas copyrights, plus the copyright income from selling to movie channels and DVDs, the profit was actually less than 2 million.
The young director plan was originally to support new directors, but I didn't think about making money, but I didn't expect it to be a good start, the third master was very pleased, the three investors discussed it, and simply gave Liu Jiang a big red envelope of 100,000 yuan.
Try your hand at it and win.
However, Liu Jiang is still very sober-minded, and at the same time, he also knows how many catties and taels he has, and making movies can be regarded as fulfilling one of his dreams, but his real usefulness is still in TV series. As a result, he is not like other young directors who have just fledgling, after the success of the first play, he devoted himself to developing into movies, and as a result, he hit his head and broke his blood. He is bent on making up a TV series again.
Not to mention, before he made a movie, he was just a second- or third-rate TV drama director, and after the success of "Start Now", he returned to the familiar field of TV dramas again, and no one dared to underestimate him.
Just like Uncle Li, a photographer and film director, although the movies he makes are all on the street, he is still the top in the field of TV dramas, this is the difference between movies and TV series.
Although Liu Jiang is now filming TV series without worrying about investment, as the saying goes, draught does not forget to dig wells. He is still happy to cooperate with Xinhao Media.
Speaking of which, Xinhao Media can now be regarded as playing a brand, and the TV series produced are basically drought and flood income, although it is not as exaggerated as the box office explosion of the movie, but at least it is a stable income.
In fact, Xinhao Media's most stable income is still the share of income from the online game adapted from "Wulin Gaiden" developed in cooperation with game companies, otherwise He Xin would not have the confidence to invest in filming blockbusters like "The Wind", and also invest one after another.
......
Cheng Hao cleans at home, she is not very good at cooking, but she is actually quite diligent, unlike most of the heroines in entertainment who are lazy and stupid. After the two lived together, the two had a tacit division of labor, Cheng Hao was responsible for cleaning and washing clothes, and He Xin was responsible for buying vegetables and cooking.
I have a dog at home, and I basically need to vacuum it every day, otherwise there will be dog hair everywhere. Today, taking advantage of the good weather, she came to a thorough cleaning, washed the sheets and quilt covers, and vacuumed and mopped the floor to plaster.
At this moment, she was squatting in front of the large cabinet in the study, holding a soft cloth in her right hand, and taking down the trophies one by one with her left hand and wiping them carefully.
The order of the trophies is according to the time of the award, the first Berlin Best Newcomer is a glass trophy, like a giant brandy goblet, then the Golden Horse, the Golden Rooster, Huabiao, two Golden Eagle Awards, and a Magnolia Award;
Cheng Hao originally only had a pitiful Golden Eagle trophy, which was stuffed into the horns at a very cheap price, and he felt very ashamed. But now it's different, and a crystal Tokyo actress trophy is placed in the most eye-catching position.
Haha, at a glance the mountains are small.
Cheng Hao finished cleaning, and he felt very proud when he poked his waist there.
"Whoa!"
There was a sound of the door opening outside, and it was time for my husband to get off work, and he usually didn't call home in advance, indicating that there was no entertainment, so he bought some food from the vegetable market and came back.
"What did you buy today?"
"Good thing, I bought a mouse spot today, more than two catties, and it is best to steam. He Xin carried a black horse clip bag and stood at the door while changing his shoes and said happily.
"Two catties? It's too big, it's a pity that you can't finish eating!"
Cheng Hao naturally knows what rat spots are, and usually attends some high-end dinners, and there will always be high-end aquatic products such as East Star Spots, Mouse Spots or Sumei on the table.
"After eating, I don't cook at night, I eat fish, and I get another soup with asparagus. ”
The two of them are going to shoot "The Piano of Steel" next, including the entire Spring Festival, they dare not indulge themselves, pay attention to what they eat, and try to keep in shape.
The diet is basically based on fresh vegetables and low-fat seafood and fish, and the starch intake is strictly controlled. When the new rice first came up last year, the Li sisters sent someone to send ten bags of Wuchang rice in small packages of five catties and one bag, and they hadn't finished eating a single bag.
Steamed fish is He Xin's specialty dish, this craft is still brought over in the previous life, born on the seaside, grew up on the seaside, the most eaten is fish, and never get tired of eating.
The method of serving asparagus in soup is simple, wash and cut fresh asparagus, put it in boiling water, put salt and oil, blanch it, and put it on a plate. Shredded carrots, shredded ham, shredded mushrooms stir-fried with water and boiled, originally should also add water starch to thicken, but in order to control starch intake, this step is omitted, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and pour directly on the asparagus.
One meat, one vegetarian and two dishes, He Xin also happily opened a new bottle of Moutai.
"Come, take two sips with me today. ”
"Cheng!" Cheng Hao readily agreed.
Since winning the Tokyo film, her good mood has continued to the present. And the play "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" made her break through the bottleneck in her performance at once, even if Gu Xiaomeng played such a tense role in "The Wind", she still controlled the flow of the clouds.
The mood and career are very transparent.
In this way, she agreed to He Xin's marriage proposal without hesitation. As for registration, it may not take a few hours to get a certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau, but in addition to wanting to have a sense of ceremony, she wants to adjust her husband's appetite more.
In fact, she has long been ready to get married, and now in addition to "The Piano of Steel", there is also a "Du Lala's Promotion" that is doing the script, and after the filming of these two dramas, she really has to consider gradually fading out of the showbiz.
Before the Chinese New Year, Hao Rong discussed with her, and now with the expansion of the acting department, the faculty is very nervous, and I hope that she can go back to school to help bring acting classes when she is free. Just like Wang Zhiwen, his main business is teaching in school, and he occasionally shoots a good script. One play a year or one play every two years is fine.
"Come on, husband, cheers!"
She smiled and picked up the cup and touched it with He Xin.
The title "husband" used to be called occasionally, but after the marriage proposal was successful, the more it was called, the more pleasant it became.
"The house in the north, can it be renovated this year?" He Xin said again.
was delayed because he was busy filming "The Wind".
Cheng Hao agreed very happily, but at this time he was a little hesitant, after all, this is the city center, very close to the school, if you really want to move to the mansion on the edge of the fifth ring road in the future, it will be too inconvenient to commute in the future, and now the traffic in the capital is getting more and more congested every morning and evening.
"It's going to be two years later, it's enough to live in now anyway. ”
"Cheng, anyway, I will listen to you in the future. He Xin was as kind as a stream, and with a smile, he dipped the fattest piece of meat on the mouse's belly and dipped it in the soup and put it in her bowl.
"Director Zhang is here today, the start-up date is set for March 1, and on the 26th of this month, there will be a press conference. When the press conference is over, I will enter the group in advance, and you will enter the group a little later, around the 10th. ”
"Oh, have you chosen your ex-wife and your daughter?"
He Xin knew that his girlfriend would definitely ask this, and he had already been fully mentally prepared. In fact, the ambiguity between him and Jiang Qinqin is not known to the outside world, but more because he is weak-hearted.
Although it was almost a few times, after all, he didn't take that step, and it can't be said to be a psychological derailment, he and Cheng Hao and Jiang Qinqin, the relationship between the two is completely different, or not on the same level. For Jiang Qinqin, he is more out of physiological factors, maybe also out of vanity, and at the same time enjoys this ambiguous feeling.
So his psychological construction is that he didn't do sorry for his girlfriend, oh no, his fiancée, there was neither physical cheating nor mental cheating, and he could be very calm.
"It's all implemented, Xiao Yuan is said to have found a child star who has acted in several TV series, and Xiao Ju is sister Qinqin came to help. He Xin pretended to be fine, and said while pouring wine.
"Oh, it's Sister Qinqin! That's pretty much it. Cheng Hao nodded.
Xiaoju's appearance that she asked for before should at least be similar to her, although she is called a heartthrob, but when she went to school, she was at most called the class flower in Chinese opera, and the school flower was not counted, and the last Yanma Zeng Li, as well as Hu Jing and Zhang Tong, that was the school flower of Chinese opera. And Jiang Qinqin was the famous Nortel school flower back then.
The key is that she has always had a good impression of Jiang Qinqin, when she went to Wuhan with the crew of "Wang Gui and Anna" to experience life, she often got together with Jiang Qinqin and Liuliu. can't be called a girlfriend, but it's also a friend.
"You invited it?"
"No, I just learned today, this request you made is very difficult for Director Zhang, isn't this Senior Brother Tian filming "Before Dawn" with Sister Qinqin, so I was busy contacting her. He Xinxian explained.
"That's not for your sake. Cheng Hao snorted softly.
"Don't say that, maybe Senior Brother Tian's face is quite big!" He Xin smiled and held the cup, "Come, take another one, take a small sip!"
"Hey, you said that Sister Qinqin is also in her thirties, why has she been alone for so many years?
He Xin inevitably chuckled in his heart, but on the surface, he still forced himself to calm down: "Where do I know where to go? Aren't you on good terms with Liuliu and her!"
Cheng Hao shook his head thoughtfully, it stands to reason that even if a beauty like Jiang Qinqin does not find a suitable one for a while, there must be countless people who pursue it. However, for so many years, it seems that I have not heard any scandals about her. Occasionally, new dramas are broadcast, and the media hype is still the two relationships between her and Hu Dawei, a young director from a family of directors, many years ago, and the wealthy businessman in Wanwan who met during the filming of Qiong Yao's drama.
"Actually, our relationship is average, and she is always polite when she comes into contact, but ...... I always felt like I was separated from her, and I couldn't see or understand her. Cheng Hao said with a frown.
"Hey, other people's private lives, why do you care so much, as long as it's appropriate and the play is good. Come on, come on, eat fish, it's not good when it's cold. ”
