Chapter 643: Strive for it
When two people quarrel, they always quarrel at the end of the bed, as long as they don't make mistakes of principle, there is no problem that can't be solved.
"It's breakfast. β
He Xin called his girlfriend out of bed.
Cheng Hao recently had a lazy cancer attack, and he was still enthusiastic about running with him in the morning, and he has recently become obsessed with various weight loss recipes on the Internet. For example, today's breakfast is a glass of skim milk, a slice of whole wheat bread, a hard-boiled egg, and half a cucumber.
As for He Xin, he never believed in this, and he always firmly believed in the eternal truth of opening his legs and keeping his mouth shut when it came to weight loss. It's just that he understands that he must be full for breakfast, restrained for lunch, and slightly cushioned for dinner.
He shredded the remaining half of the cucumber, stir-fried the green onion section in the oil pan, low heat until the green onion section was browned, and then boiled under the water, taking advantage of the time to cook the noodles, a spoonful of light soy sauce, half a spoon of dark soy sauce, a little sugar and mixed well, the noodles were cooked and scooped up, drizzled with scallion oil, added to the adjusted sauce and mixed well, spread the cucumber shreds, it was a bowl of fragrant scallion oil noodles.
Cheng Hao was eating dry whole-wheat bread and nibbling on bland cucumbers, but the one sitting opposite was feasting on "Hulu, Hulu", but the fragrance of scallion oil drilled into her nostrils one by one, and saliva kept coming out of her mouth.
"Oh, can you make a little more movement when you eat?"
As a foodie, I can't bear to be teased by the fragrance.
"Huh?"
He Xin raised his head suddenly, and there was still a sign of tempting sauce on the corner of his mouth, and he saw that his mouth was pouting, and the noodles were slipped in. Then he looked surprised and said, "I didn't chirp?"
Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Cheng Hao hatefully threw the slices of bread in his hand on the plate, swallowed the saliva secreted quickly, and said angrily: "You still don't let me lose weight?"
"What...... Oh, then I'll help you make a bowl too!" He Xin finally saw what his girlfriend meant, and hurriedly got up and said.
"No, let's change it. β
Cheng Hao glanced at the small half bowl of mixed noodles in He Xinxin's hand, snatched it as he spoke, and then pushed the plate with two bites of bread and half a cucumber full of tooth marks and saliva.
"Oh, it's disgusting!"
He Xin picked up the cucumber and looked at it, with a look of disgust, but then he put it into his mouth and "clicked", well, it was very crispy.
What's there? Two mouthfuls, not to mention saliva, salty and light, nothing has been tasted.
Cheng Hao was burying his head in "Hu Lu, Hu Lu" to deal with the rest of the noodles, and he didn't have time to pay attention to him at all.
He Xin nibbled on the cucumber with "click, click", and said earnestly: "What kind of weight loss recipe do you say, that needs to be adhered to, I think you will definitely not be able to do this." Lose weight or rely on exercise, didn't you get a fitness card last time, run and jump more when you have time, ask a coach to guide it, so that the effect is faster, and you don't have to be aggrieved......"
Cheng Hao finished picking up the last piece of crispy green onion sticking to the bottom of the bowl, interrupted his chatter: "Who said I didn't exercise anymore, I made an appointment with Yaya to do yoga together in the afternoon." β
In fact, these are all clichΓ©s, He Xin knows that his girlfriend is lazy and unwilling to move, and in the end, he really has no choice but to rely on hunger to achieve the goal of losing weight. The key is that she still lacks external stimulation, unlike when she was preparing for "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" last year, her whole person was filled with Li Baoli's stubbornness, which made her full of motivation.
As for yoga, it is a tool to exercise the body, cultivate temperament, and unlock difficult cheese. And when I first went to Chinese opera, many of the classmates around me were either learning to sing or dance before, and they were all practicing children's skills since childhood. So she has been paying attention to this aspect of training.
He Xin looked at her with a strong look, and he didn't bother to argue with her anymore, so he skipped the topic and said, "Oh, by the way, you really won't come with me tomorrow?"
Tomorrow, June 13, is the award ceremony of the Magnolia Awards at the 14th Shanghai International Television Festival.
"I haven't been nominated, what are you going to do?" Cheng Hao said with a frown.
In fact, she is quite pantothenic in her heart, her starring "Double-sided Tape" was very popular, but she did not get a nomination at last year's Magnolia Awards, but this time "Wang Gui and Anna", which was also written by 66 and directed by Cheng Qiang, was nominated for Best TV Series, Best Director and Best Actress. She now regrets that she didn't take on the role of Anna at the beginning, and she cheapened Jiang Qinqin for nothing.
"Why are you not nominated, you are the second female lead in "Latent", and you are rightfully named. He Xindao.
"Cut, female number two, it's nice to say! But it's not a foil yet, and besides, I don't like dealing with that woman, so forget it, I won't go." β
The woman in Cheng Hao's mouth is Song Jia. After her affair with Uncle Li was exposed, the junior three heads were solid, and their reputation in the circle was not very good.
But how to say it, as an actor, in the final analysis, you still have to rely on your acting skills to speak, Song Jia may be criticized in her private life, but she still has nothing to say in her business ability. This nomination for the Magnolia Award for Best Actress is well deserved.
As he spoke, Cheng Hao didn't forget to ring the alarm bell with him again and said, "Anyway, you pay attention to me!"
"Look at what you said, don't always think about people so badly, maybe people are because of love! Besides, I will go tomorrow and come back the morning after tomorrow, and there are a lot of people in the company, how do you want me to pay attention?"
Compared with last year's Magnolia Award, He Xin went alone as the guest of honor, and this time the formation is relatively large, and "Latent" and "Wang Gui and Anna" produced by Xinhao Media are the popular works of this year's Magnolia Awards.
In addition to Song Jia being shortlisted for Best Actress, Jiang Qinqin was also shortlisted for this award. Just thinking of Jiang Qinqin's name, he subconsciously glanced at his girlfriend sitting opposite.
Cheng Hao was still angry at his justification of Song Jia just now, and when he saw his sneaky gaze, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said, "What do you see? Anyway, you know it in your own heart!"
"OkayβI've got it. β
After breakfast, He Xin hurriedly drove to the company. No way, I have to go to the Magnolia Award ceremony tomorrow, all kinds of preparations, and trivial matters. Fortunately, there are no popular borrowed clothes, haute couture dresses and the like in this year, otherwise if you accidentally wear the wrong one, you will have to cause all kinds of rights and wrongs.
......
Firm.
Chen Zhixi sat across the desk, begging with He Xin, who was looking at the documents, "Brother, you can help! You are the boss, and the role is not a matter of your words!"
He Xin put down the documents in his hand and looked at her with a frown for a long time, until her expression was a little sneering, and then she sighed and said: "Chen Xi, you have also worked as a production director and assistant to the CEO in the company, don't you understand that it is a rule that the director has the final decision on the role." Besides, Su Youpeng was recommended by Director Chen Guofu, and Director Chen helped us a lot before, so we can't help but give this face. At the moment I can only help you get an audition. β
Chen Zhixi looked disappointed.
Although Su Youpeng is a little mushy now, he can be regarded as a Hong Kong and Taiwan star. And she has been in the circle for a long time, and the so-called explicit rules, unspoken rules, etc., she is also clear. Don't look at He Xin's repeated claims that he won an opportunity to audition, but Su Youpeng, Chen Guofu, and Xu Ke are almost all one. If Wang Kai in her hand is popular enough, there may be a chance to compete, but she is still a newcomer, and her hope is very slim.
However, she is not a woman who gives up easily, since she has the opportunity to audition, even if she is a dead horse and a live horse doctor, she will not give up the last glimmer of hope.
Her eyes rolled around, and she said with a cheeky smile again: "Brother, the audition is no problem." Our Akai is fully prepared, and we have been learning Kunqu opera all this time. But we've never had the chance to get in touch with Director Xu Ke, can you help guide us first?"
"Guidance?"
"That's right, Akai also came with me today, just wait below, I'll call him up!"
After speaking, without waiting for He Xin to agree, he hurriedly got up from the chair and couldn't wait to run out to call someone.
"Hey...... "Weichang."
He Xin shouted at her back, but people didn't hear it, so he had to sigh.
He was also a little embarrassed to say it, after all, the so-called audition was just an excuse to shirk, originally he thought that Chen Zhixi would retreat from the difficulty, but he didn't expect that this usually arrogant rich second generation would not give up.
Moreover, although he is not familiar with Wang Kai, he knows him after all, and he is also his own junior, and he can't say anything if he refuses.
Wang Kai sat alone in the reception room, feeling worried. Originally, he was very excited when he first learned that he was recommended to be a candidate equivalent to the role of the fourth male in the blockbuster "The Wind" jointly invested by Xinhao Media and Bona. When he learned that the predecessor of this character was a famous Kunqu opera singer, he specially asked a teacher to learn Kunqu opera.
It's a pity that it backfired, just as he was preparing for this role, news suddenly came that Chen Guofu of Huayi Brothers recommended Su Youpeng to compete for this role.
Wang Kai's heart suddenly became half cold. He first signed a contract with Huayi, but he didn't have much opportunity to mix there for two years, so he jumped to the newly opened brokerage company of his sister Chen Zhixi.
It is precisely because he has been in Huayi that he knows Chen Guofu's energy in Hong Kong and Taiwan circles too well. Even if he is given a chance to audition, that hope is very slim. If he competes for a role with Hong Kong and Taiwan star Su Youpeng as a mainland newcomer in Huayi, it is simply impossible.
But Senior Sister Chen told him not to give up, as long as there was a glimmer of opportunity, he had to fight.
The door of the reception room was open, and every now and then a little girl would pass by and sneak a peek inside, and then there would be a faint sound of discussion outside:
"Hey, who's this?
"I heard that it is Sister Zhixi's newly signed artist. β
"Wow, that's so handsome! Why don't you say our company doesn't sign artists?"
"Cut, our company has never had this business ......"
"Hey, what are you doing, you have nothing to do!"
Suddenly, another stern voice was heard.
"No, Sister Lirong, we're fine. β
"Look at your little bit of interest!"
A group of little girls outside saw He Lirong, the head of the administrative department with a straight face, and immediately stretched out their tongues one by one, scattering like birds and beasts.
In other words, Xinhao Media is now getting bigger and bigger, and the large office area of nearly 100 square meters on the first floor is already full. And the company's CEO, Xiao Douding, is a person who likes to play, and most of the recruits are little girls who have just walked out of school. Probably except for the male employees who need to sell coolies in the production department and the logistics department, almost all of them are women's soldiers.
As one of the three veterans who were still the pioneer of the studio, He Lirong is now the head of the administration department, specializing in training these little girls.
She drank away the handsome girls who were watching, and couldn't help but glance inside.
Wow, isn't that just my own thing!
She is not the kind of sneaky rookie, as an executive of Xinhao Media, she is not only well-known in the industry, but also famous for liking small fresh meat.
Just as she straightened her clothes and smiled like she thought she was about to step through the door, she heard a rush of footsteps behind her.
"Akai, hurry up, hurry up, the new brother wants to see you. β
I saw Chen Zhixi trotting over from behind, and when she saw He Lirong standing at the door, she just nodded at her, and urged Wang Kai, who quickly stood up when she heard the sound: "Akai, hurry up, the new brother is waiting upstairs." β
"Hey, here we are. β
Wang Kai hurriedly answered, and followed his agent to walk out quickly.
Looking at the backs of the two of them hurrying upstairs, He Lirong obviously showed a hint of disappointment. Chen Zhixi's coincidental appearance made her miss the opportunity to talk to this little fresh meat that made her extremely greedy. Although she is one of the three oldest qualified in Xinhao Media, she can see that Chen Zhixi is a little stunned. In addition to the reason for her own ability, she was originally considered a rich second generation in the company, and in front of Chen Zhixi, the real rich second generation, she can only be regarded as a small thing.
"Akai, go in for a while, you must behave well. I understand Brother Xin, he doesn't watch people, and he has never had a good impression of those Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, if you can impress him, I still hope a lot. Akai, remember that opportunities are rare, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must work hard. β
Speaking of which, Wang Kai's mood was originally suffering from gains and losses, and he was even a little depressed. But he also knew that Senior Sister Chen really valued him, and as soon as she joined, she helped him win the role of a male number two in "Ugly Girl Invincible". And this character is similar to Bai Xiaonian in "The Wind", both of them are that kind of sissy.
At this time, hearing Chen Zhixi constantly cheering for himself, he couldn't help but be infected, and nodded seriously: "I understand." β
"Brother, Akai is here. β
Following Chen Zhixi into the door, he saw at a glance the familiar figure sitting behind the desk looking down at the documents.
As a legendary figure in the Chinese opera campus, a little junior like Wang Kai, who has studied in school at the same time, is a thing worth showing off.
"Teacher He!"
He Xin glanced up, he didn't recognize it at first glance, the facial features in front of him were clear and the lines were hard, which was a bit different from the slightly rustic Wang Kai in his memory. After looking closely, it was indeed me, and it gradually coincided with the Wang Kai who often appeared on TV in his impression of his previous life.
"Oh, Wang Kai, long time no see! I'm sorry to keep you waiting. He Xin came out from behind his desk and shook his hand.
"It's fine. β
Wang Kai smiled politely, trying to keep himself neither arrogant nor humble.
Chen Zhixi said that he asked He Xin to help point and point, but in fact, he wanted Wang Kai to perform well in front of him and strive to win with his acting skills.
So without waiting to sit down, he helped on the side: "Brother, Akai specially studied Kunqu Opera for the role of Bai Xiaonian, and he sings it well!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly said to Wang Kai: "Akai, don't be stunned, hurry up and talk to Teacher He for a while." β
"Oh, okay. β
Wang Kai hurriedly responded, and at the same time did not forget to say to He Xin modestly: "Teacher He, you are smiling." β
As he spoke, he began to pose and prepare to open his mouth, but saw He Xin waving his hand and said: "You don't need to sing, you must know about the character of Bai Xiaonian, I need you to come up with something real." β
The script is currently under wraps, but for those interested actors, there is a profile of the relevant characters. For example, the setting for Bai Xiaonian for Wang Kai is: the commander-in-chief of the puppet army. The face is delicate and fair-skinned. He used to be a famous Kunqu opera singer, brilliant and different, pursuing inner holiness but having no fighting power. He is also the most innocent person among the suspects, unable to accept the fact that he is imprisoned, let alone being questioned and tarnished by others......
He Xin's words sounded a little unkind, but Wang Kai felt that this was the professional attitude it should be. He stood there, closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, thought for about half a minute, and opened his eyes.
I saw that he raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a mouthful of big white eyes, and the face that originally looked very upright suddenly became soft and a little charming. Then his body was slightly on one side, bent irregularly, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and the right hand on his arm deliberately cocked his orchid fingers.
