Xiaohe, this is Director Yin Li that I often mention to you!"

Chang Jihong enthusiastically helped him introduce the black fat man with glasses next to him. At first glance, it looks very much like Liu Jiang, a famous performing artist of the older generation, who is the one who played "I'm Hu Hansan back again!" in "Shining Red Star" and "High, really high!" in "Tunnel War".

In fact, there is no need to introduce it, He Xin also knew him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold the other party's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Director Yin, hello! I've been hearing Sister Hong mention you, and we finally met today." ”

When it was over, he also deliberately raised three fingers and said, "I have watched your "No Regrets Tracking" three times!"

Yin Li and Chang Jihong are old acquaintances, they worked together as workers in the Beijing Arts and Crafts Carving Factory, and later both were admitted to university. Soon after work, Chang Jihong entered the crew as an artist, scene reporter, assistant director, and production director under the introduction of Yin Li, until he later became Jiang Wenli's agent.

Yin Li is now the director of China Film and has directed many main theme movies, and last year's very popular main theme movie "Zhang Side" was his work.

may be because of the perennial filming of the main theme, Yin Li is usually more serious and does not smile, but when he heard He Xin mention "No Regrets Tracking" as soon as he came up, he still couldn't help but smile, and said slightly shyly: "It's over!

He has made a lot of movies with the main theme, but he thinks that the most proud work is the TV series "No Regrets Tracking" made ten years ago, but the response was so average when it was broadcast that few people mention it now.

At this time, he heard He Xin say that he had watched it three times, which made him feel like a bosom friend.

He Xin didn't mean to shoot his sycophants, Yin Li is just a director in the system, and he is shooting the main theme, which doesn't seem to be compatible with himself. Be polite to the other party, in addition to being polite, it is more about looking at Sister Hong's face.

However, Yin Li directed this "No Regrets Tracking" ten years ago, and he really likes it.

Speaking of chance, in his previous life, he was once very spy war films, but after watching "Latent", "Before Dawn", "Silent Oath", "Secret Calculation", "Kite", and then watching other films, it feels quite average, including those "The Pretender", "No War in Peking", "Father's Identity" and so on.

It's not that the actors don't act well, the main thing is that the plot is too thin and can't stand scrutiny.

Occasionally, I saw the push on my mobile phone and found that there was a Douban score that was higher than "Latent", so I watched it on the Internet. Although the film is old and the clarity is poor, it is still very enjoyable to watch.

This film is "No Regrets Tracking" directed by Yin Li.

Then in this life, especially after learning acting, He Xin also specially found a pirated disc of this TV series and rewatched it twice. As he told Yin Li just now, he has watched it three times in his two lifetimes combined.

Looking back now, the reason why this TV series has such a high rating on Douban in later generations is roughly three points.

First of all, the subject matter is novel. Although it is a spy war movie, it is not a spy in the traditional sense. It tells the story of two little people, between two little people, 40 years of tracking, 40 years of hardship, no regrets, half a lifetime of lurking, half a lifetime of transformation, and finally becoming a new person.

Secondly, it is authentic and down-to-earth. In the past 40 years, the ups and downs of the historical period from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the reform and opening up, the fate and life of many little people. Many plots are like things that happen around them, and it is particularly immersive to use a popular phrase among online readers to describe it.

And the reason why I say down-to-earth means that the names of the characters in it are also very funny, what anti-American, new mast, Wei Ge, and what beards, small anzi, urinals, shaving bags, single eyelids, etc., which not only conform to the characteristics of the times, but also have the playful energy of the old capital.

Finally, it is the actor's acting skills online. The two male protagonists are Wang Zhiwen and the third master Liu Peiqi, these two major drama bones are self-explanatory; the actors of their respective children are Li Bingbing, who has just debuted, and Hao Rong, who looks like a dog; many supporting roles are also familiar faces, such as the older generation of famous performing artists Li Ding, Yue Xiuqing, the daughter-in-law of Secretary Dakang, Silly Zhu He Bing, the ugly girl Zhang Shaohua, Zhang Side Wu Jun, Da Taohong, etc., are all acting coffees.

He Xin scratched Yin Li's itch, and the courtesies were exchanged, and Yin Li couldn't help but praise He Xin's acting skills.

After a commercial blow to each other, they sat down under the greeting of Chang Jihong.

Sister Hong hurriedly called herself over, and Yin Li was here, it would definitely not be a simple introduction to the two of them, and the answer seemed to be about to come out.

Sure enough, before Chang Jihong could speak, Yin Li took out a script from his bag, and said straight to the point with a slightly serious expression: "Xiaohe, this time, our China Film Company, Wanwan's Longxiang Film Company, and Hong Kong's Yinghuang Film Co., Ltd., jointly invested in the three parties, and are ready to shoot a loyal love story that depicts crossing the strait and going through the turbulent background of the 60-year era. I came here this time to ask you to play the male lead in this play. ”

As soon as He Xin heard this, he felt that it was very big, and the mainland, Wanwan, and Hong Kong had a very strong political color of the alliance of the three places. Moreover, the three film companies are also the leading large companies in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait.

The Chinese film in the mainland, the national team.

Hong Kong Yinghuang has risen rapidly in recent years, and it has many big stars such as Big Brother Cheng, Zha Zahui, Xie Qiwang, Teacher Chen, Rong Zhuer, Twins and so on.

Wanwan's Longxiang is also a large company, and has cooperated with the mainland and Hong Kong for a long time, and has produced and produced many well-known works. For example, "Nanjing 1937" directed by Wu Ziniu, Huang Jianxin's "Wukui", Hu Jinquan's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Wu Yusen's "Bloody Heroes", Yuan Heping's "Iron Horse", Cheng Xiaodong's "The Resurgence of the Undefeated Storm in the East", You Dazhi's "Dark Flower" and so on.

He Xin was timid, he didn't dare to take the script, thinking that he still had two plays behind him, so he just asked cautiously: "Director Yin, when will the drama you are talking about start?"

"The preparatory work has started a long time ago, and it is preliminarily expected to pass the National Day. It's just that the filming cycle of this drama is relatively long, and it may take half a year, so you have to be mentally prepared for this......"

He Xin felt wrong when he heard it, first of all, it didn't matter if there was a conflict with his current schedule, and secondly, Yin Li's tone of voice was not like an invitation at all, but like an assignment.

He subconsciously glanced at the agent sitting next to him, but saw Sister Hong nodding at him lightly with joy on her face, the meaning was obvious.

“...... This is the highlight film of this year! In this way, you can read the script first. ”

After giving a general introduction to the situation, Yin Li finally emphasized it again, and handed over the script in his hand.

He Xinzhan took it and glanced at it tremblingly, and saw that the cover read "The Ballad of Yunshui", and then signed below: Liu Heng, Zhang Kehui.

The former is like thunder for He Xin, a well-known domestic screenwriter, whose works include "Ju Dou" and "Qiu Ju Lawsuit" by the National Teacher, Guan Jinpeng's "Red Rose and White Rose", Xian Feiran's "Overlord of Western Chu", Huang Shuqin's "Painting Soul", Sun Zhou's "Beautiful Mother", etc., most of the works The female number one is Gong Li, which can be said to be Gong Li's queen screenwriter.

The latter's name seems to be somewhat familiar, and when I see the words "original" marked behind this name, it is probably a well-known writer.

He Xin didn't open the script immediately, although Sister Hong hinted that he would take this play next, but he still said sincerely: "Director Yin, I'm filming now, there is still a movie to start in August, the cycle will be at least two months, and there will be another movie in November, but I will only make a cameo appearance in this film, but it will take at least ten days." ”

He knows that this kind of film is a bit similar to a political task, just like the later "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" and "My Motherland and Me", and being able to find you shows that the organization trusts you and looks up to you, and there is no room for refusal.

And if you don't go up, I'm afraid that some people will break their heads and rush to get on.

To tell the truth, he is now a little scared, and hurriedly put his actual situation out, for fear of disappointing the expectations of the organization and misleading the organization's major events.

As a result, Yin Li smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, the situation you just said, Ji Hong has already introduced it to me before, I think the time is about the same, even if it is delayed for a few days, it doesn't matter, we can wait." As for the cameo you mentioned, we can discuss the adjustment in the middle. ”

Since Yin Li said this, He Xin could only nod his head.

It's just that he added with some shame: "The preliminary preparation may not be sufficient." ”

"Well...... this"

Yin Li frowned slightly, in fact, he had also thought about this problem, since He Xin took the initiative to mention it, he pondered for a moment and shook his head a little helplessly: "Let's see when the time comes." ”

In fact, there is a subtext that he didn't say in front of He Xin, that is, he believes in He Xin's acting skills.

Today, he came to the door in person, of course, it will not be a temporary idea, but he made full preparations at the beginning of the preparations, including watching many of He Xin's previous works, focusing on "Little Tailor" and "Beauty Grass", two films with the theme of educated youth, and comprehensively considering the final factors such as acting skills, international popularity and box office, and finally finalized He Xin's candidate.

Acting skills and international popularity, for He Xin, it is clear that it is there, and it can be seen.

However, the box office is a little unsuccessful, who told him to make either banned films or high and low literary films before?

But fortunately, the two blockbusters he starred in last year are about to be released one after another, and since they are the works of director Chen Dadao and Xu Ke, the future box office results should be expected. And when "The Ballad of Yunshui" is released next year, it can be regarded as striking while the iron is hot.

Yin Li didn't stay long, just hoped that He Xin could familiarize himself with the script and the characters in it as soon as possible, and then find time to communicate face-to-face, so he got up and said goodbye.

He Xin and Chang Jihong sent Director Yin downstairs all the way, and watched him drive away.

"Xiaohe, this is a good opportunity!" Sister Hong said ecstatically at this time.

Then he couldn't wait to pull He Xin upstairs and go back to the office, but he was afraid that someone would hear it, so he could lower his voice and poke secretly: "Do you know who Zhang Kehui, the original author of this play, is?"

"Who?"

He Xin already felt that this name was a little familiar.

Sister Hong may be afraid that she will have ears in the wall to lower her voice, so she simply stood on tiptoe to his ear and said a bunch of titles.

Hearing He Xin's stunned, no wonder he felt familiar, it turned out that in addition to his identity as a writer, this person had a special background, and he was also a big leader in office, the kind that was higher than the minister.
