"Director Gu isn't filming in Anyang, he's back?" He Xin said.

"He sent Wen Li and the child back, and he just arrived home at this time, saying that he had to rush back early tomorrow morning. ”

"Then what kind of food do you want to eat, what is there to be polite with me!"

He Xin also thought that Gu Changwei was to thank him for his previous friendship cameo.

"Eating is one thing, the main thing is that Lu Yue wants to meet you. Sister Hong said with a smile on the phone.

"Lu Yue, director?"

Although he had never heard of the name Lu Yue in his previous life, he was definitely thunderous in this life. If you make a selection to determine who is the most powerful photographer in China, then the top two names must be Gu Changwei and Lu Yue.

Because the names of the two of them are often associated with the most powerful directors in China, especially Lu Yue, who is more associated with the name of the national teacher.

The national teacher's is all shot by him, and the photographer of the movie version starring Gong Li, who He Xinzai has carefully watched several times before, is also him.

Since Gu Changwei has just changed his career to become a director this year, and Hou Yong, the director of the movie that Zhang Ziyi is currently making, is also a famous photographer for the first time, he just wanted to say how popular photographers changed careers this year?

But as soon as the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that it was not the first time Lu Yue had been a director, and he had made one a few years ago.

The film won the Golden Tiger Award for Best Film at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland. This is one of the 12 major A-category film festivals in the world, and there are only a handful of domestic directors who can win this honor.

He has also seen this movie about a middle-aged man's extramarital affair. It's just that the movie as a whole is more depressing, and it's still a little obscure. What impressed him the most was probably that Jiang Wenli made a cameo appearance in it as a strange woman and greeted Mr. Zhao and said that she was working in a waterworks.

At that time, he burst out laughing, you must know that Jiang Wenli was a female worker in the waterworks before going to Nortel.

If you follow the generation, as a 78-level graduate of Nortel's Photography Department along with Guoshi and Gu Changwei, Lu Le should be regarded as the so-called fifth-generation director, but judging from the style of this movie, He Xin feels closer to the style of the sixth-generation director who pays more attention to the bottom or marginal little people.

Could it be that he is about to make a new movie and wants to ask himself to audition?

Thinking of this, He Xin couldn't help licking his lips......

You must know that the more than 30 scripts that I looked for him before were all TV series, although the current domestic film market is very sluggish, but as an actor, between movies and TV series, there is no doubt that the temptation of movies is obviously much greater.

It's just that before he asked, he heard Sister Hong say happily on the phone: "Director Lu Yue is currently preparing a new movie, the heroine is set to be Hong Kong star Shu Qi, although the actor has not yet been decided, but I estimate that you have great hopes, I heard that this film will start next month, Director Lu Yue proposed to see ......you at this time."

He Xin suddenly realized, no wonder the original heroine Shu Qi of Dai Sijie resigned because of the schedule, it turned out that this side had already been booked early in the morning.

It's no wonder that Sister Hong's tone on the phone was very excited, Dai Sijie's side just let Li Xiaoran make up for Shu Qi's resignation, and Director Lu Yue took a fancy to He Xin here, which is definitely a double happiness for the agent.

After Sister Hong exuded a feeling full of joy, He Xin hurriedly asked, "What is this new movie directed by Lu Yue about?"

"I haven't read the specific script, but I heard that it is adapted from Shi Xiaoke, and the subject matter should be similar, telling the love story between the educated youths who cut the queue in Yunnan. ”

"Shu Qi plays the educated youth?" He Xinyan was suddenly surprised.

Educated youth is a special product of the special era in China, and he subconsciously felt that this was very unreliable, and because he had already played a young man in China before, he was faintly disappointed.

"Why can't Shu Qi play the educated youth?"

"No, does she know what an educated youth is?"

It may be that in the memory of fusion, Yuan Hexin's parents are educated youth, so that he now has a special affection for the word "educated youth".

"You don't care if she knows it, since the director and producer choose her, they naturally have a reason to choose her!"

Hearing Sister Hong say this, he reacted, what kind of heart is he! Whether it is a movie or a TV series, the first criterion for choosing an actor is popularity, and only a big star can attract the attention of the audience.

Why did the heroine of the French film insist on using Zhang Ziyi?

Why did Dai Sijie focus on Zhang Yanyu and Shu Qi from the beginning?

Including Guan Jinpeng, why do you have to look for Li Jiaxin?

In fact, it is all the same truth.

It is he who, with the halo of the protagonist, accidentally bumped into this circle, and starred in two award-winning movies one after another, which established his current status in the circle.

Immediately after that, Sister Hong asked again on the phone: "Hey, have you eaten well?"

"No, I just ate it. ”

"You tell Lili, it's not that I want to urge her, it's rare for her to come back once, I still have a lot of things to do with her. ”

"Oh, then you can ask Master He to come to me to pick up someone in a while, it is estimated that it will be about half an hour. ”

When he hung up the phone, he saw Sun Li holding the bowl, staring at him with big eyes, his mouth was so pouting that he was about to hang the oil bottle, and said with a dissatisfied face: "It's only been half an hour?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and eat your meal! Sister Hong said that she didn't mean to urge you, but that she still had a bunch of things about you over there. ”

......

Black, thin.

This is He Xin's first impression when he saw Lu Yue, if it weren't for the fact that he was not short, wearing a pair of big metal-framed glasses, and a braid on the back of his head, saying that he was Lou Ye's own brother, I am afraid He Xin would also believe it.

However, Lu Yue, who seems to be dressed like an artist, does not have the artistic temperament that most directors have at a glance, and his body exudes a more literati atmosphere.

For example, he always speaks in a gentle tone, he is used to saying "thank you", he always turns the dish to your side first when he sits next to him when eating, and when he talks to someone, he likes to stare you in the eyes seriously, for fear that you will not fully understand what he is saying.

From receiving Gu Changwei's call at noon to picking up He Xin to go to dinner in the evening, Chang Jihong has roughly inquired about the general situation of the new movie called Lu Yue to direct.

First of all, this film is invested by Bona Culture Film Company and several film companies, and it belongs to a medium-sized production film with an investment of seven or eight million.

Secondly, although the story is in the context of Wen Mo, the script has passed the review of the relevant departments, which means that as long as the movie is made, it will not be the kind of situation that Jiang Wen put aside the script back then, and it can be released normally in China.

As for why Gu Changwei was asked to organize a game for today's meal, on the one hand, it is because Lu Yue and Gu Changwei are classmates, and they are hypocritical;

At the same time, there is also a situation that after the producer determined Shu Qi at the beginning, he wanted to match Li Min and Shu Qi, the famous scandal male and female stars, to work together.

It is said that the producer talked for a long time but did not succeed in the end, so he retreated and sought a mainland actor to play. According to Gu Changwei, in fact, Lu Yue was very optimistic about He Xin playing one of the leading roles from the beginning, because as Lu Yue, who had also been in France for a long time, after watching it, he was deeply impressed by He Xin's Ma Jianling.

Although He Xin did not have the slightest impression of this movie in his previous life, he did not underestimate it because of it. Because as he worked in this industry for a long time, the more he felt that he was too lonely in his previous life, and he didn't have a trace of literary and artistic cells.

At the dinner table, Lu Yue did not talk to him about the new movie, on the contrary, he was very interested in the TV series he had just finished, especially about some shooting details. For example, when He Xin said that Guan Jinpeng often uses the technique of photographing the characters in the mirror, Lu Yue's eyes will light up, and he can't help nodding and exclaiming: "This is good!"

Then I would regret and say, "Why didn't I think of shooting in this way at the time, it would have been better if I had done this!"

In short, he is very modest, and he does not show off at all that he has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Cinematography.

may also have experienced a lot, except for He Xin being a little restrained at first, he gradually let go. He also began to talk to Lu Yue about some details in his photographic works.

It should be said that Lu Yue is definitely the first person in China to shoot a movie with a handheld lens, especially the one that filmed Jiang Wen like a big doll, which is particularly cinematic.

It wasn't until the end of the meal that Lu Yue unhurriedly took out a plastic document bag full of plastic documents from his bag, and at a glance, he knew that it had been prepared in advance.

Lu Yue handed it to He Xin, and said very sincerely: "This is the script and the original work, you can take a look at it first, I personally hope that we can cooperate." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Sister Hong, who was delighted when she heard his words, and said a little anxiously: "However, you'd better give me an answer quickly, according to the schedule, this drama will start next month at the latest." ”

Although he repeated the role of the educated youth he had played before, He Xin was secretly a little disappointed in his heart, but after all, this is a movie, and he can cooperate with Shu Qi, it is obviously impossible to say that he is not moved, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay Director Lu, I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

After sending Lu Yue away, and saying goodbye to Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli, He Xin got into Chang Jihong's business car, and saw that after Sister Hong started the car, she didn't start immediately, but looked at herself as if she wanted to speak and stopped, He Xin couldn't help but smile, handed her the plastic document bag in his hand and said, "Why don't you take it back and take a look first?"

"No, let's watch first. ”

Sister Hong paused slightly, and said, "Xiaohe, I think Lu Yue is very sincere this time, you have to be cautious!"

He Xin also nodded solemnly at this point, not to mention anything else, he rushed to the bag of things that had been prepared in his hand, as Gu Changwei revealed before, Lu Yue actually recognized him from the beginning, and as for inviting Li Minyi before, it was completely the producer's intention.

After returning home and taking a shower, he opened the file bag and sat on the sofa in the small room to look through it.

There are two large printed and bound books in the bag, and the title of one cover reads "First Love", and there is a line of small words "Author: Shi Xiaoke" below.

Obviously the original.

He put it aside and read the script first.

For actors, no matter how wonderful the original work is, it can't replace the script.

When he opened the script and read the synopsis of the script for a while, he couldn't help laughing, it was another old-fashioned, sensational, and familiar love triangle story.

However, in view of Lu Yue's sincerity, he still looked at it patiently, just looking at it, but unconsciously he actually looked into it.

I don't know how long it took, when he finally closed the last page,

"Whew!", He Xin leaned back on the sofa, rubbed his sour eyes, and looked up at the ceiling.

As always, this is also a love story that happened in a special era, and the background of educated youth is destined to be a tragedy of love.

The heroine, Ye Xingyu, encounters the love confusion that all girls may face: is it a childhood sweetheart who has loved and treated her like a brother since she was a child, or is it a bad boy who is different from the world around her and is full of unknown excitement and freshness?

The relationship between the three people in the script is very similar to the female version of Red Rose and White Rose.

This is probably an eternal theme that love triangles can never avoid.

Just as Pan Yuliang in the middle loves Pan Zanhua and Tian Shouxin at the same time, Ye Xingyu may have loved both. Yuan Dingguo is like her red rose, before Liu Simeng appeared, Yuan Dingguo has always been the gentle and reliable man in Ye Xingyu's heart who can stand in front of him and shelter her from the wind and rain.

And Liu Simeng is a white rose, he meets all the fantasies of countless girls about love, but it is so beautiful that it is vulnerable. Love itself is actually a mixture of many factors, and the form cannot be conventional.

He Xin feels that he is more like Yuan Dingguo, just like Ma Jianling in China, his love for Ye Xingyu is a love that is suppressed in his heart and bound by the education and social rules he has received, which is also a true portrayal of his character

However, Liu Simeng does not have the word "restraint" in Luo Ming's philosophy of life, because he likes it, he will chase after it, and he can easily say hatred because of misunderstanding.

Regardless of the setting of the characters and the role of Zhongma Jianling that he had played, He Xin thought that he was more suitable for the role of Yuan Dingguo, but in the character introduction column on the front page of the script, Lu Yue just made a √ next to the three words Liu Simeng.
