Chapter 45: Out of place

The plane slowly descended, and He Xin looked out of the porthole, full of the vast sea. It was blue in the distance, but muddy and yellow in the sea. At this scene, a sense of intimacy suddenly came to his heart, he was once born and raised in a small county town by the sea, and it was the first time he saw the sea since he was reborn.

At the beginning of April, the weather in Zhuhai was already very hot, and after getting off the plane, he couldn't wait to find a bathroom, took off his sweater, put his coat on his hand, and dragged his suitcase out of the gate.

At the pick-up office, He Xin raised his eyes and looked for it, and saw a thin man looking around holding a piece of white cardboard with "Mr. He Xin" written on it.

"Hello, I'm He Xin. ”

"Mr. He, hello, I am the driver of the crew, and I am here to pick you up. "The thin man is very enthusiastic, and his mouth is actually a pure Beijing film.

As he spoke, he had to help him carry the box.

"No need, brother, you're welcome, I'll come by myself. He Xin was busy, and Mandarin automatically switched to a Beijing accent.

"You are polite, I heard the crew say that you are a wrist, forgive me for being clumsy, I didn't recognize it. The thin man said frankly.

"They're kidding, what kind of sasses am I!"

Speaking of which He Xin is really a little embarrassed, he has only made two dramas in total, one is banned and the other has not been released yet, but even if it is released, it cannot be released in China. Think about the days when you can wear a mask and sunglasses and pretend to be forced on the street, and I don't know if it will be until the Year of the Monkey.

He Xin thought that this thin man with a bite of Beijing films was the driver from the Beijing Production Company, and when he walked out of the airport with his suitcase, he asked casually: "Mr. Li, are you also in Zhuhai?"

Mr. Li is the boss of the Beijing Production Company, a friend of Li Mengnan, and one of the producers of this TV series. He Xin has never met before, although he was selling Li Mengnan's face at the beginning, but he has to thank them when he sees them.

"Mr. Li?"

The thin man was stunned for a moment, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. He, I don't know Mr. Li." Actually, I worked in the crew temporarily. ”

"Then you ......" He Xin was a little puzzled.

"Oh, I've been coming to Zhuhai for a long time, but I've been mixed for more than ten years, I don't have any interest, and I don't have the face to go back to the capital, so I settled down here, and I usually help people do odd jobs and drive. The thin man said with a smile.

Although it is said to be hard, it can be seen that this person has a good mentality. Come to think of it, it is much better for someone like him to be able to settle down here than those who fight for their lives on the construction site every day.

The thin man took him to a seven-seater Changhe van, the seats in the back were removed, and there were still a lot of props in it, and He Xin was squeezed into the passenger seat in the front row.

The car drove along the highway in the direction of the city, and He Xin came to the forefront of reform and opening up for the first time in his two lives, looking curiously along the way.

"Mr. He's first time in Zhuhai, right?" the thin man asked with a smile when he saw this.

"Not only is this the first time, but I have never been to Guangdong Province. ”

"How does it feel?"

"Hot!"

"Haha! The heating in the capital has just stopped at this time, and I'm still wearing a sweater!" The thin man recalled the capital, looking a little lonely, and then immediately smiled again: "Actually, it's okay for the past two days, the day is about 25 degrees, but it's a little cold in the morning and evening, so you have to wear long sleeves." ”

The two chatted casually, and the car soon entered the city and turned into the parking lot of a hotel, saying that the hotel was actually not much bigger than the average hotel.

The thin man took the room card from the front desk and helped him to the door of a guest room on the third floor before saying goodbye: "Mr. He, you take a rest first, the crew is out to film at this time, and it is estimated that you will not be able to come back before dinner." ”

"Thank you!"

When he opened the door and entered the house, He Xin habitually glanced around, the room was not big, and the layout was similar to the guest house of the new film studio where he had lived before, but this time the crew arranged a single room for him, and it seemed that the treatment was not bad.

After nearly four hours on the plane, the journey was tiring, He Xin took a shower, and originally wanted to lie on the bed and squint for a while, but he fell asleep unconsciously, and didn't wake up until there was a knock at the door.

When I opened the door, there was a man with a black face and gray hair, who did not look very old. He saw He Xin's sleepy-eyed appearance, and said apologetically: "Excuse me, Mr. He, I'm Ye Hongwei." ”

He Xin was stunned, then reacted and hurriedly said, "Oh, Director Ye, hello!"

Ye Hongwei is the director of this play, a director from Wanwan.

The name is very unfamiliar, but He Xin has introduced him to Li Mengnan before, and it is said that he is still a well-known director on Wanwan Island, and he has been shortlisted for the Golden Horse Award for several films. He Xin originally planned to visit, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to come to the door to say hello.

"Mr. He, you haven't had dinner yet, why don't you go together?" Ye Hongwei invited with a smile.

"Okay, but please wait a minute, I'll ......" He Xin nodded hurriedly, and made a gesture of washing his face apologetically.

"Oh, then I'll wait for you in the restaurant. ”

After Ye Hongwei left, He Xin hurriedly washed up, changed into a T-shirt and hurriedly went downstairs.

When I came to the restaurant downstairs, there were already more than a dozen people sitting on a large round table, except for Ye Hongwei, and the scene seemed to be a bit big.

He Xin hurriedly ran over and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

"We also just sat down, come on, come on, Ah Xin, sit, today is specially for you. Ye Hongwei greeted with a smile.

He Xin was a little flattered when he heard it, he was a supporting role, but he didn't expect the other party to be so polite, and immediately thanked him again and again.

Ye Hongwei helped him introduce several people present one by one, the production director, screenwriter, photography, lighting, and several protagonists, almost all the main creators were present.

One of them, when Ye Hongwei finished introducing, He Xin hurriedly came up and greeted: "Brother Hao, the little brother has just arrived, please take care of me." ”

Zhao Yanguo's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Yo, it's time to enter the state so quickly! Come on, come on, let's have a drink first!"

Brother Hao is very high, graduated from Beiying, was classmates with Jiang Wenli and Xu Qing, went abroad for further study in his early years, and later settled in Sweden, and also established a film and television studio. A few years ago, I wrote, directed and acted in a movie, but due to financial problems, it has not yet been completed. The reason why he starred in this TV series is probably to raise money for a new movie.

In addition to Brother Hao, He Xin saw the unfamiliar faces in front of him, and thought of the noisy and noisy pictures of this TV series, and thought that this was a grass platform team, but after an in-depth introduction, he found that there were still dragons and crouching tigers hidden in these people.

For example, Yu Hui, the heroine who plays Brother Hao's daughter-in-law Guo Jinfeng, graduated from the theater and debuted very early, and has won both Huabiao and Golden Rooster actresses; Xu Jingsuo, the actor who plays Brother Hao's number one Ma Tsaixun, also graduated from the theater; and there is also a buddy who plays the mainland public security, that is, the role that Li Mengnan wanted to play, graduated from Chinese opera and has deep qualifications, even Hao Rong and Li Mengnan have to call themselves junior brothers in front of others.

Today's meal is directed by Ye Hongwei, this product belongs to the kind of realistic literary film director in Wanwan, and the style is roughly more similar to that of Jia Kechang.

After the Berlin Film Festival, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was released in Wanwan, Ye Hongwei watched this movie, admired He Xin's performance in it, and looked forward to working with him this time.

The director gave face, of course He Xin couldn't help but know how to lift, and after a meal, at least on the surface, everyone warmly welcomed him.

In the next two days, there was no role for He Xin for the time being, so he followed the crew to observe the scene, probably except for a few leading actors, the other little brothers and bandits, they didn't know which corner they found out, all of them were very exaggerated.

It can be seen that they all want to try their best to play their roles well, but they inevitably use too much force, Rao is so, the director still shouted. At this time, he realized why he was deeply impressed by the role of Ayou, because the buddy in "Double-sided Tape" who played Ayou was simply out of place among this group of people!
