"Haha, Brother Jun, why do you seem to be fat again?"

"I'm strong, not fat!"

At noon the next day, the crew gathered in a VIP room on the second floor of the hotel, and He Xin and Hu Jun, two good friends, hugged warmly as soon as they met. The two talked about meeting at the premiere of "Stone", and more than three months have passed.

Hu Jun is also very busy during this time, and has been cooperating with Chen Daoming in Hengdian to shoot next year's CCTV New Year's drama "Lying on Salary and Tasting Courage", in which he plays Wu Wangfucha, a very domineering character, and the old Yin played by Chen Daoming complements each other and forms a stark contrast. This play was just completed two days ago.

Oh, one more thing, the one who plays the queen of Yue, that is, Gou Jian's wife Yayu, is Uncle Daoming's "good friend", and the young actor Zuo Xiaoqing, who works very hard to "support".

"Sister Jialing, Xiao Song, long time no see!"

Then he shook hands with Liu Jialing and Song Jia to say hello, compared to Hu Jun, these two have not seen each other for almost a year after filming "Curiosity Kills the Cat".

Sister Jialing has short hair, a black and white striped shirt, a pair of black jeans, and only some light makeup on her face, which looks very capable, and said with a smile: "Xiaohe, congratulations, you have become a big boss!"

The big hit of "Stone" made He Xin, the boss of Xinhao Media, gradually begin to appear in the field of vision of industry insiders.

"Wherever there is, where there is, I'm just tinkering and trying my luck, that's all the credit of Director Ning. ”

He Xin was already used to it at this time, anyway, whenever someone complimented him, he would put all the credit on Ning Hao. For a film company, the director is often the company's signature.

For example, the national teacher of the new picture, Chen Dadao of China Film, and Huayi's pants.

"Brother Xin, you played so well in "Stone", I didn't expect you to be able to control this kind of role, the contrast is really too great, I really looked stupid at the time!" Song Jia also complimented on the side.

Saying that, she joked half-truthfully: "Brother Xin, I heard that you are making a new movie now, when will you remember to take care of me?"

"I'd like to find you, but do you have a schedule?" He Xin said with a smile.

It is said that after this girl finished filming "Curiosity Kills the Cat", she also signed a contract with Wang Jinghua, and in the past year, with the help of her old boyfriend, the film appointments continued.

first took over the movie "Big Movie: Tens of Billions", and then cooperated with Xu Guangtou, Fan Xiaopang and other big names in "Love Call Transfer", and not long ago joined the big production "Breaking the Guandong" of Shandong Film and Television Center.

Putting aside the messy private life, He Xin actually admires this little flower. Although his appearance is not particularly outstanding, he is very attractive, and he is tall and has a good figure.

What's more, when they worked together before, He Xin found that this is a smart and perceptive actress, her understanding of the character is very accurate, she knows how to create, and her performance is tense, especially her lines are very characteristic and full of a sense of power.

If the role of Cui Ping in "Latent" was before, He Xin's favorite was Tang Wei, but now it is impossible. He Xin didn't like Yao Dazui in the original version at all, mainly because of Yao Dazui's comical operation when he divorced, whether it was the behavior of the brokerage company or her personal behavior, she always felt that this woman was a little dirty.

And without "Wulin Gaiden", Yao Dazui is now just a small role, still playing soy sauce in various sitcoms, and he is not competitive at all. It's okay to think about it if you're not famous, I hope they are happy as a couple, and don't let an authentic baby produced in Guanzhong go green.

Of course, Cui Ping in the script can't be as described in the original book, the image of a vulgar, smoking dry cigarette, and a rural with yellow teeth, if this is the case, this TV series will not be able to watch. Because I was thinking about Tang Wei at the beginning, He Xin's setting for this role is funny, some vulgarity and ignorance have become a kind of cuteness, she is just slamming, straightforward, grinning, and has a firm revolutionary will, of course, she also has a little woman's side, she also likes to have love, although she doesn't know what love is......

For such a role, He Xin wrenched his fingers, and among the actresses he knew, only Song Jia was the most suitable. Of course, this is also inseparable from her outstanding performance in "Cliff" in her later life, which left a deep impression on He Xin.

To be honest, when he first watched "Cliff", he really hoped that Gu Qiuyan in it could really do a fake play with Zhou Yi and make a couple, if he asked her to play Cui Ping, and finally achieved a positive result with Yu Zecheng, it could be regarded as making up for some shortcomings in his previous life.

"Hey, do you have a schedule at the end of the year?"

Because of the script skeleton he provided, Jiang Wei's adaptation of "Latent" is much easier than the original time and space, as long as the flesh and blood are filled in, the first draft was just completed not long ago and sent to him by email.

He Xin watched it once, and it was basically the same as the content of the original TV series in his memory. At the same time, he really admires Jiang Wei, his writing skills are really profound, and the lines set up are extremely exquisite. His original plagiarism of the original story structure is wonderful enough, and Jiang Wei's words make the story itself to a higher level.

"Latent" has already begun to set up a project, a 30-episode TV series, with an initial investment of about 10 million. Fortunately, with "Stone" this time, the company has made a lot of money, which is enough to support the scale of filming two TV series and one movie at the same time.

Song Jia is very smart, he can hear the strings and know the elegance as soon as he hears it, and his eyes light up and he hurriedly said: "It should be no problem, I will discuss with the director on the crew of "Breaking through the Guandong" and bring my role to the premise." ”

"Hey, you don't even ask what kind of drama it is, it's so sloppy?"

"Brother Xin, don't be funny, now who doesn't know that what you Xinhao Media produces must be high-quality products, I'm afraid that if you miss this village, there will be no such store. Song Jia said with a smile.

"Cheng, I'll have someone send you the script when I get back, you can take a good look at it!"

He Xin was very happy, he finalized the role of Cui Ping, and he didn't have to worry about the other roles, after all, the characters in the original version were all very distinctive, and he believed in Jiang Wei's vision very much. The only thing that may have changed is the role of Captain Ma, Zhao Yanzi's ex-boyfriend in the original version behaved quite averagely, and he planned to leave this role to Li Mengnan.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the main creators of the crew held a press conference at the Chongqing Bedi Summer Garden Hot Spring Resort Villa, and went to Huanyi Cinema and Poly International Cinema at 7 and 8:30 in the evening to participate in the meeting with the audience.

These are the basic routines of the roadshow.

The next morning, I flew to Shanghai non-stop, and held two press conferences at the International Cinema in Shanghai at two o'clock in the afternoon.

It may be that with the rise of online media and having participated in two press conferences in succession, He Xin's deepest feeling may be that he feels more and more that the level of the reporters who came to the scene is not half a star worse than the print media reporters who specialize in running movies in the past. The questions asked are almost the same as the paparazzi chasing and intercepting them on the street.

Liu Jialing's father just passed away not long ago, coupled with the "Liu Hu Lian" that has been hyped before, as well as the large-scale shots in the trailer, so the questions of media reporters mainly focused on Liu Jialing, Hu Jun and Song Jia, but avoided mentioning the movie itself.

Like what:

"Liu Jialing, did your father's death have any effect on you?"

"I heard that you have married Liang Chaowei, and the wreath that Liang Chaowei sent at your father's memorial party has the word 'father' written on it?"

"I see the ring on your hand, it's a wedding ring, right?"

"Hu Jun, is the scandal between you and Liu Jialing true?"

"When I learned that Liu Jialing's father died, did Hu Jun call Liu Jialing?

"How was the passion scene between Hu Jun and Xiao Song Jia filmed in the play?"

“......”

Some reporters also asked He Xin this similar question:

"He Xin, when will you and Cheng Hao get married?"

"Cheng Hao is also filming in Shanghai at the moment, will you visit the class later?"

Compared with the embarrassing answers of Hu Jun, Liu Jialing and others, He Xin faced this kind of question with a black face throughout the whole process, and just said: "I don't answer questions that have nothing to do with the movie." ”

But it's also quite funny to say, it stands to reason that Hu Jun has already married and had a daughter, and Liu Jialing and Liang Yingdi have a relationship for more than ten years. If in the later generations, the two of them were so blatantly spreading scandals, it is estimated that they would be similar to "cheating scumbags" and "scumbags of water-based poplars", and they would have been scolded for being out of Xiang a long time ago, and they might even be banned.

And the environment in these years is really relaxed, no one blames the two for cheating, but relish the scandal between the two.

Of course, there are questions from serious film journalists, but they seem out of place in this environment.

For example, a buddy who wears glasses asked director Zhang Baibai a question about movies: "Film is an art of regrets, may I ask the director and the leading actor what regrets do you have after filming this film?"

Such a movie with depth attracted laughter from other reporters on the scene, and a female reporter with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup openly mocked: "Should he move out of film history to ask?"

The scene was a little chaotic for a while, which made Zhang Baibai, who was about to answer questions on the stage, very helpless. Fortunately, after that, another reporter from Nandu named Fang Yimin asked three questions one after another, and the first one was a prepared and very expert question.

"Among similar films, America's "Fatal Temptation" finally chose to defend the stability of middle-class families, what does this film want to defend or adhere to?"

"Why do you add the character of 'security guard'? Liu Jialing compared with Hu Jun, who is the main body in the play?"

"Are there any concerns about the box office impact on these gray films in China?"

For this kind of in-depth and level-based question, Zhang Baibai is very happy to answer.

""Fatal Temptation" is a film produced under the background of the Western *** trend, the first half of our film is more similar to "Fatal Temptation", the second half is different, the focus falls on Mrs. Zheng played by Jialing, this film emphasizes love, the love of the security guard for Mrs. Zheng, and the love of the shampoo girl for Mr. Zheng are all very persistent and real. ”

"The film uses four narrative angles, adding the character of 'security guard', that is, using the perspective of a security guard to see Mrs. Zheng's revenge on Mr. Zheng's cheating, going deeper layer by layer from the most shallow angle, peeling back the cocoon, and finally letting the truth be revealed.

Jia Ling and Hu Jun, including He Xin, Xiao Song and Lin Yuan, are the main body, and they all perform very well and neatly. ”

"It's not accurate to say gray in this film, it should be said that it's black, and black is more accurate. The characters are real, the story is real, I'm not worried about the box office, I trust my own judgment and trust the eyes of the audience. ”

It's just that when he answered these questions, most of the people on the scene were a little absent-minded, and some were even chatting underneath. Lao Zhang was depressed, but also pointed to a reporter from Shanghai TV who was carrying a camera in front of him and joked: "When you talk about art, you even stop the camera." ”

If the reporter is as unskilled as the paparazzi on the street, the producers who are keen on hype do not dare to compliment. Although he was embarrassed by the "Olympic bid" incident before, Hu Qiming, the producer who participated in the roadshow with the main creators of the crew, is still hyping the topic of the Oscars.

"Recently, my American friends in Hollywood, who have Oscar voting rights, sent me an email saying that the film, music, and cinematography are excellent. Overseas producers of "Curiosity Kills Cats" will arrange for the film to be screened in Los Angeles at the end of December to qualify for two individual awards: Best Original Music and Best Cinematography. ”

In fact, this kind of thing is just a fool and a layman when a discerning person hears it. But those journalists seem to be more willing to hear it.

At this time, He Xin, who is sitting on the stage, will always feel like sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his back, like a fish in his throat, and he is uncomfortable. He really didn't expect to encounter such a nonsensical roadshow.
