Chapter 565: "The Tale of Two Donkeys" was shortlisted......

On July 26, the TV series "Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" directed by Gao Qunshu and adapted from the movie of the same name premiered.

Of course, Lao Gao's TV series has to be cheered, but He Xin wants to see the performance of Xie Junhao, the male number one in it. This actor from Hong Kong is really different from the Hong Kong stars he sees and hears on weekdays. is particularly low-key, although he has also starred in many film and television dramas, but most of the time he is obsessed with stage performances.

He Xin knew him very early, when "Lan Yu" was shortlisted for the Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Awards, when he went to Hong Kong to attend the awards ceremony, he played the second male lead in the TV series "Marrying the Wrong Mother" directed by Guan Jinpeng.

Although it was only in a hurry, He Xin was still very impressed. One of them is mainly that the other party won the Golden Horse actor with "The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" as early as the 90s, which was still a new Golden Horse actor at that time, and the other party was also an old-timer.

Second, this person looks a bit like Leslie Cheung, but compared with Leslie Cheung's softness, his temperament seems to be more aggressive, and He Xin felt that he was particularly suitable if he played the kind of gloomy, cunning, and murderous villain.

No, now in this TV series directed by Lao Gao, Zhang Zhongnian, the stationmaster of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, played by him, is such a character, and He Xin is looking forward to his performance.

As a result, I was disappointed when I watched the first episode, but it was not the actor's problem, whether it was Xie Junhao or Liu Weiwei, the female number one in the Lao Gao TV series, whose performances were above the level. But this plot is really childish and ridiculous, and all the military commanders in it are all extremely stylish black leather trench coats, plus black leather gloves. It's really embarrassing to have a Gestapo more than the Gestapo.

He looked at his girlfriend who was sitting next to him watching TV, if he had seen this kind of mentally retarded TV series, his girlfriend would have complained a long time ago, and he would have to change the channel. But today she didn't say a word, obviously looking at the TV screen, but if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are actually unfocused. In other words, she didn't even watch what was on the TV, she just sat there in a daze.

It's not been a day or two, and she's been in this state since she came back from Wuhan in the middle of the month. At first, He Xin was very puzzled, just ask her, she always looked very irritable. Later, he could only find Chu Qing and Xiao Mo and ask them carefully.

After getting the answer, he was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly and shook his head. It's no wonder that his girlfriend's state gives him a sense of déjà vu. In a sense, this is the result of her experience of life. It's a wonderful feeling, and once you're in the groove, it's like there's something going up every day, waiting to be released. Once that feeling is right, then you are the character, not the character is just your performance.

It's just that he feels that his girlfriend's feeling, or that it's a bit early to enter the state, and "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" will not be able to start for more than half a month, and he is really afraid that his girlfriend will have a problem.

In the past few days, he has tried to help his girlfriend distract himself, such as dragging her up in the morning to go out for a run with him. At first, she was a hundred unwilling, but after running once, although she couldn't run for less than a thousand meters, she consciously and voluntarily went out to run with him in the next few days, and it could be seen that although she couldn't run, she was still gritting her teeth and persevering.

Ask her, the answer is very simple, doing this work requires physical strength, she found that her physical fitness is seriously insufficient, this is not good, she must exercise.

After a few days of morning jogging, the effect is indeed quite obvious, at least his girlfriend's spirit is much better, and He Xin is relieved.

But these are still secondary, in fact, the most unbearable thing for him is that his girlfriend is like a different person when she is in love. The previous charming, active, and aggressive nature is now gone, like a dead fish. Even at the critical moment, she gritted her teeth desperately, at most she hummed twice, and it was a particularly suppressed hum. At the same time that he was bored, he was about to have a physical disorder.

At this time, he saw that his girlfriend was in a daze again, and hurriedly interrupted: "Eat some fruit, I'll cut a melon." ”

Cheng Hao shook his head, yawned, stood up and said, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep first." ”

"It's only past eight o'clock......"

After he finished speaking, he saw his girlfriend walking softly, without a trace of clouds, to the bedroom.

He Xin had to sigh. But after thinking about it, going to bed early and getting up early and running every morning is at least very good for your girlfriend's body.

His girlfriend went to bed early, and the TV was boring, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he felt as if he had nothing to do for a while.

Under the coffee table is a very bloated script, which is the script of "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart". He often sees his girlfriend holding a script with a little bit of drawing on it when he is fine.

He picked it up casually and flipped through it, and saw that many of the lines in it were marked with colored markers, and there were all kinds of thoughts next to it.

He was momentarily curious, but at the same time looked at it with a kind of scrutiny.

She may have been born in an environment where everything is rewarded, which not only cultivates her attitude of being able to work hard for a small amount of money, but also gives her the mindset of a small citizen who cares about small profits. She can't empathize with the hard work of the porters, but she can only live with herself, disgusted that they are not as good as their own hard work, genuine, fair prices, money and goods, and even more disgusted that they start the price on the spot, lazy and irresponsible, and greedy for her family's small bargain. ”

She could feel the change in her husband from kneeling and swearing to be good to her, to not cooperating and cold and violent, and her heart seemed to remain the same, and she was indignant and aggrieved about it. But she didn't feel the grievances brought by her sense of superiority and strong attitude to her husband, and she was frustrated and kept fleeing. So she strongly disagrees with Xiaojing's warning. ”

For her husband's refusal to have sex or perfunctory excuses, because the guy is not working hard or he has to move the next day, she believes it knowingly, until she finds out that her husband and her lover are in estrus with urgency and generosity, the sound of spring ripples, and only then does she realize the deep loss and depreciation of self-esteem. ”

She took care of her son, did not catch the rape in bed, and chose to call the police in the hope that her cheating husband could be easily taken back through a third-party external force. but failed to envision the career and emotional damage that this might bring to her husband......"

Almost every paragraph has such annotations, and the dense ones are close to the number of words in the script. He sat unconsciously, for more than an hour, before turning to the last page.

Suddenly, he realized that his girlfriend was far harder and smarter than he imagined, but he was really a little slack during this time.

Well, he decided that from tomorrow onwards, he would also study the character of Ma Xuewu again. Even if there are not many scenes, you must keep up with the rhythm and try to make the most perfect green leaf.

He got up and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and walked lightly into the bedroom. Then in the light of the faint night light, I saw my girlfriend with a towel quilt on her body, tilting her head slightly, and she had already fallen asleep.

He lay silently next to her and put his left hand around her waist while sticking his silky black hair. The heat of his body temperature wrapped around the familiar scent, which made his heart flutter.

In the next second, her lips had kissed her neck, and her hand had slipped into her neckline.

"Don't make a fuss, sleepy!" she snorted.

He didn't stop, but kissed more and slowly untied the ties of the moon-white nightgown.

"Oops, I don't want to do it!"

She suddenly became very irritable and struggled to pull her shoulder.

He had to let go of his hand, turned over, and lay flat looking at the ceiling with his eyes, inevitably feeling a little depressed, and it was rare for him to be interested, but unfortunately his girlfriend was not in tune.

But before he could relieve this depressed mood, he saw his girlfriend turn over, put her head on his chest, put her hands on his waist, straddle one leg on his thigh, twisted her body, found the most comfortable position, and let out a thin snoring sound in a blink of an eye.

"Hah!"

He Xin looked up at her face with closed eyes and frowning slightly, and couldn't help but chuckle, and looked at it for a while before putting her head down and closing her eyes.

“Hello,Moto......”

It seems that not long after falling asleep, the mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly screams.

He reached out and grabbed the phone, stopped the ringing first, and then looked at the phone screen with worried eyes.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Douding called at this time, which immediately made his heart tighten.

"Who?"

The girlfriend was also apparently woken up.

"It's Xiaohu, there must be something wrong with her calling at this time. ”

As he spoke, he answered the phone: "Hey......"

But when he had just fed it, he heard Xiao Douding's excited voice on the other end of the phone: "Boss, it's announced!"

He didn't react for a while, and said in a daze: "What was announced?"

Xiao Douding didn't care about arguing with him at this time, and said extremely loudly: "Venice, Venice Film Festival! Just now, the organizing committee of the film festival held a press conference in Rome to announce that our "Tale of Two Donkeys" was shortlisted for the main competition unit. Boss, this is the main competition unit!"

"Really?"

He Xin then remembered that July 26 was the time when the 64th Venice International Film Festival announced the shortlist. During this time, he revolved around his girlfriend almost every day, and he actually forgot about such a big thing.

He sent a copy of "The Story of Two Donkeys" early in the morning, and according to the feedback from the filmmakers, it is basically not a problem to be shortlisted. Don't forget that the current chairman of the Venice Film Festival is Marco Müller, who has lived in China for many years and has always had a good impression of Chinese films, and the chairman of the jury of this year's film festival is the national teacher!

Although it is basically not a problem to be shortlisted, in addition to the main competition unit and the horizon unit of the competition category, the Venice Film Festival also has six large and small units, such as the non-competition unit, the future golden lion unit, the experimental unit, etc.

Of course, He Xin hopes to be shortlisted for the main competition unit or the sub-level horizon unit with the most impact. However, he was shortlisted for the main competition unit, and his confidence was slightly insufficient. After all, the company's two previous works directed by Ning Hao, "Incense" was shortlisted for the "Upstream Unit", the predecessor of the Horizon Unit before the restructuring, and "Green Meadow" was shortlisted for the Forum Unit in Berlin, but neither of them made it to the main competition unit.

So if "The Tale of Two Donkeys" can be shortlisted for the horizon unit this time, he will already be very satisfied. I really didn't expect to be shortlisted for the main competition.

"Of course it's true! I'm watching the live broadcast directly on the Internet, but now the news from the domestic website may have been sent out. Check it out for yourself. This time, a total of four Chinese films were shortlisted, in addition to our "Tale of Two Donkeys", Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises", Li Yu's "Lust and Caution" and Wanwan director Li Kangsheng's "Thank You, Eros" ......"

Halfway through speaking, Xiao Douding suddenly exclaimed: "Chief Jia's "Useless", and...... Well, another director who seems to be called Du Haibin's "Umbrella" was shortlisted for the documentary category of the Horizon unit...... Wow! The closing film of the film festival is actually "Three Forks", and this Chinese film is really going to be in the limelight. ”

Compared with this year's Cannes Film Festival, only the Hong Kong and French co-production "Blueberry Night" directed by Wang Jiawei is not a Chinese film, but only a film with a little Chinese elements was shortlisted, and it returned home. This time, the Venice Film Festival has an unprecedented four Chinese-language films shortlisted for the main competition unit, which is the first time in the history of the three major European festivals.

He got out of bed in a hurry, and while holding the phone to listen to the content of the live broadcast of the press conference translated by Xiaodouding, he didn't even care about wearing slippers, and he was about to run out barefoot.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Seeing that he was in a hurry, his girlfriend also sat up on the bed.

"The Tale of Two Donkeys was shortlisted for the main competition in Venice, I have to go online to see ......"
