Chapter 182: Painting the Soul

After school in the afternoon, He Xin came to the Friendship Hotel.

When he first filmed "Lan Yu", He Xin lived here for a while, and he and Hu Jun had a few scenes filmed here.

"Director Guan! Yang sir! Brother Niu!"

Knock on the switch Jinpeng lives in the suite, there are three people sitting in the living room inside, in addition to Guan Jinpeng, there is also one of his royal editors Yang Zhishen, several of Guan Jinpeng's works before, such as "The Happier the More Depraved" and "Miss You as Before" are all written by Yang Zhishen, He Xin saw it when he went to Hong Kong, and he had dinner together, which is also familiar.

The other is Niu Le, the assistant director of the more familiar "Lan Yu".

"Haha, Ah Xin, long time no see!" Lao Guan stepped forward and hugged him.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, He Xin sat down and couldn't wait to ask, "Director, what kind of play is this?"

"Painting the Soul, have you heard of it?" Guan Jinpeng said with a smile.

"I've not only heard of it, but I've also seen it, the movie starring Gong Li. What, this time it's going to be adapted into a TV series?"

"Bingo!"

Guan Jinpeng snapped his fingers and said: "Actually, we received this project when we were filming "Lan Yu" at the beginning of last year, and Lao Yang had been adapting this work before. Looking for you this time, I just want to ask you to play the second male number one Tian Shouxin in it. ”

Guan Jinpeng had already asked him about his schedule on the phone before, and revealed that he wanted to find him to film. Of course, as long as Lao Guan speaks, no matter what role, even if it is a trick to He Xin, there is no problem, after all, he has won so many honors because of "Lan Yu", and he owes Lao Guan a lot of favors.

"Tian Shouxin, isn't it Wang Shouxin?" He Xin said in surprise.

Because in Gong Li's version of the movie, Wang Shouxin is a close friend who gave Pan Yuliang a lot of help. He still remembers that Wang Shouxin in the movie is quite old, and he is often played by the famous actor Da Shichang of Shanghai Film Studio.

This film, which was filmed by Shanghai Film Studio that year, was not released in the mainland because it contained shots of Gong Li Quanguo, but was only released in Hong Kong, Wanwan and France. Of course, he was looking at pirated discs.

"It's Tian Shouxin. ”

At this time, screenwriter Yang Zhishen interjected in awkward Mandarin on the side, and then took out the script and handed it to He Xin, explaining: "Because the script has been readapted, it is quite different from the original book and the movie, you can take a look first." ”

He Xin took it, first looked at the synopsis of the story and the list of characters, and found that except for the characters of Pan Yuliang and Pan Zanhua, which are basically unchanged, the others are indeed quite different.

For example, Tian Shouxin, who wants him to play, compared to Wang Shouxin, a middle-aged man whom Pan Yuliang met in France in the movie, Tian Shouxin is a passionate and romantic young painter, who was originally the boyfriend of Pan Yuliang's good friend Omi, and later fell in love with Pan Yuliang, and the two developed into a lover relationship.

For example, the role of the female No. 2 Omi in the script is not available in the movie, and Yang Zhishen also admitted that this is his fictional character.

"Director, are you planning to let Brother Jun play this Pan Zanhua?" He Xin asked guessingly after reading it roughly.

"Haha! I just said that Ah Xin is a smart person, I must be able to guess! That's right, Pan Zanhua, I just want Hu Jun to act, and I have already told him about it. Guan Jinpeng said with a smile.

"What about Pan Yuliang?"

He is most concerned about the actor of the heroine, because his plays are basically against the heroine.

"This time you are blessed, you can fall in love with the two beauties of Hong Kong and Taiwan. Guan Jinpeng laughed, seeing that He Xin was still puzzled, and then smiled: "How about Li Jiaxin and Yi Nengjing!"

He Xin suddenly showed a look of surprise, he was just a young woman from singing in Wanwan. It is said that he likes to enter the play, such as knocking on Huang Lei's door in the middle of the night, shouting: "Mo, my chest hurts so much" and the like, and later married Qin Hao.

The most important thing is Li Jiaxin, who can definitely be called a beauty in the true sense. Among the many female stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are not many who are really beautiful. At least in his eyes, there is a Lin Qingxia in Wanwan, Li Jiaxin and Guan Juice in Hong Kong, and there is a Zhang Baiju in the later stage, and then it seems that the generation is not as good as the generation.

It's just that he didn't have any impression of this TV series of "Painting Soul", and subconsciously asked: "Li Jiaxin, she will also act in a TV series?"

Lao Guan smiled but said nothing.

Niu Le hurriedly joked: "Li Jiaxin once starred in the director's "Sometimes Dancing", and this time the director spoke, which is naturally a matter of one sentence. ”

He Xin nodded when he heard this, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seems that Brother Niu has seen an increase in his EQ after two years of beating!

Lao Guan may have been a little embarrassed by him, waved his hand and said: "It's not so exaggerated, I went to her with the script, she has seen the book "Painting the Soul", and she has also watched Gong Li's movie, and she likes the character of Pan Yuliang very much. ”

He Xin roughly understood, maybe this Li Da beauty is also a literary young woman.

To say more, in fact, the profession of an actor requires sensibility, so many people who originally or will gradually develop into literary and artistic youth. Of course, this does not include the traffic of later generations or our big power, etc., they may also accept literary films, but not because of the literary plot in their bones, but because they want to prove their unbearable acting skills through literary films, or improve their qualifications, and the result is often that they can't pretend to be forced but are grassed!

Guan Jinpeng said, and glanced at Niu Le with a smile, and added a little reciprocated: "This time, Ah Le co-directed with me." ”

"Yo, congratulations to Brother Niu!" He Xin said busily.

Niu Le also smiled like a flower, but said modestly: "This is all the support of Guan Dao, so that I have the opportunity to learn from Guan Dao's side." ”

The two heroines in the script are played by female stars from Hong Kong and Wanwan respectively, in addition to ratings considerations, I am afraid that it contains more of the concept of the two sides of the strait and three places.

He Xin hadn't read the original book, but when he was looking at the relationship between the characters in the script just now, he found that there was a character of Anna in it that was not in the movie. The setting of this character is a courtesan in Shanghai, the daughter of a great warlord, who is madly in love with Pan Zanhua, and is Pan Yuliang's rival in love, only after many losses and blows, he understands the truth that "a twisted gown is not sweet".

This character reminds him of Wang Jiazhi in "Lust and Caution", although the character settings are different, but the type is almost the same. After a slight hesitation, he asked tentatively, "Director, has this Anna been chosen?"

"What, do you have a recommendation?" Guan Jinpeng said, glancing at Niu Le at the same time.

It seems that Niu Le is still in charge of the casting part.

Guan Jinpeng is not surprised by He Xin's question, the main actors often recommend actors they are familiar with, on the one hand, it is due to favors, or to promote juniors, on the other hand, it is more smooth to cooperate with familiar actors, which is also helpful for the play.

Today's He Xin is no longer He Xin when he was filming "Bicycle", Niu Le said busily: "Someone recommended an actor to me before, but it has not been decided yet. Xiaohe, since you also have someone to recommend, why don't you try the show together when the time comes. ”

When He Xin heard that he was an actor, his heart suddenly cooled, but after thinking about it, it would be good to let Tang Tang have the opportunity to come over and try his hand at acting, even if he couldn't get Anna, who was counted as the third female role, after all, there were still many young female characters in the script, such as Xiaolan and the like.

"Thank you, Brother Niu, thank you, Director!"

"The audition may be in the near future, and I'll let Ah Le inform you when the time comes. In addition, I suggest that you read the original book first and then read the script, and if you have any questions, you can always come to me, I will live here for a while. ”

"Okay!" He Xin nodded hurriedly.

When the business was almost over, he took the initiative to propose: "Then director, let's find a place to eat, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's have a drink!"

"Okay, we have been waiting for your words for a long time, you are the host when you come to the capital, yesterday it was Ah Le who invited you, and today it will be your turn. Guan Jinpeng said with a smile.

During the meal, He Xin asked the screenwriter Yang Zhishen about the character of Anna, Anna and Yi Nengjing are the same as the Omi to be played by Yang Zhishen, the main thing is to increase the storyline and contradictions, after all, the TV series with 30 episodes is fifteen times that of a movie, and you have to pour water into it.

......

Thank you so much, new brother...... Hmmm!"

When Tang Wei learned the news, he jumped up with joy and actually kissed him heavily on the face.

He Xin was taken aback by her actions, and subconsciously looked left and right, fortunately, there was no one in the corridor, and at the same time said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "You girl, why are you crazy?"

"Happy!"

Tang Wei may feel that he is also a little overexcited, and his face is slightly hot, but he is still excited: ""Conquest" is not counted, this is the first time I have won a role in the real sense, and I can still cooperate with a big star, new brother, I, I ......"

In the end, this girl's eyes were slightly red, and she was a little incoherent.

"Stop, stop!"

He Xin hurriedly said: "Don't make a mistake, it's not to get the role, I'm just helping you get an audition opportunity, the opponent is very strong, it's an actor! Don't be overly excited now, be careful to be happy and sad when the time comes." ”

To be honest, he is actually not very optimistic about the PK between Tang Wei and the actor Renyi.

Speaking of which, the actor He Xin also knows him, his name is Kong Yishan, he graduated from Nortel 96, and he is in the same class as Chen Kun and Zhao Wei. In fact, her original name is the same as Tang Wei, called Kong Wei, but it is popular to change her ID in recent years, so she took such a stage name with literary and romantic colors.

This Kong Yishan is undoubtedly an extremely strong opponent for Tang Wei when he came, and her strength can be seen just from the fact that she is the first student of the film school recruited by Renyi since its establishment 50 years ago.

"I'm not afraid of competition, I'm afraid of not having a chance. ”

Tang Wei's words about He Xin were a little distressed.

Because he knew that this girl had always loved acting, and she was admitted to the directing department because she couldn't get into the acting department. However, because she is a student of the directing department, every time she takes her resume to build a group, she repeatedly hits a wall, except for the last time He Xin introduced her as the scene reporter of "Conquest", she played a small role in a cameo, and she didn't even have the opportunity to play tricks before.

He Xin handed her the script and said, "Then you hurry up and prepare well, the audition may not be a few days away, and I especially hope that you can get this role." ”
