"Is there any news from the East Film Festival? ”

Jiang Wei made him a cup of tea and handed it over.

He Xin hurriedly got up and took it, and said, "Not yet, but I don't think it's a big problem to be shortlisted." ”

"You're confident!"

"Of course I'm confident, Director Xiaoshuai didn't give it for nothing, and besides, the quality of the film is there, unless those judges are blind. ”

"Eh, didn't you scold Director Huo too!"

At this year's Tokyo Film Festival, Chinese director Huo Jianqi, who once directed the film "Warm" and won the Golden Kirin Award, was one of the judges, and the chairman of the jury was the veteran Hollywood actor Qiang Walter, who often plays a villain like the head of the CIA in American blockbusters. But he has an even more famous daughter, Angelina Jolie.

Jiang Wei smiled, then nodded and sighed: "Also, there is no question of whether you are shortlisted or not, but whether you can win the Golden Kirin Award." To be honest, when I watched this film at that time, I couldn't calm down for days. The story is good, and Xiao Shuai is also good, but what surprises me even more is that Xiao Cheng acted well, it is really a performance that can shock the soul. ”

After the completion of "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", Wang Xiaoshuai once organized a small viewing party, and Jiang Wei, Diao Yinan and others were invited. At that time, He Xin was still busy filming "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life" and did not participate, but according to his girlfriend's description afterwards, the response was particularly good, especially for her performance in the film.

Jiang Wei then said a little puzzled: "With the quality of this film, it can be exhibited at the three major festivals, and I also heard that Mr. Muller was specially invited when he came last time." I didn't expect you to sign up for the East Film Festival. ”

"Well, it's mainly because of the difference in culture, and it's more certain to participate in the Tokyo Film Festival and win an award. ”

When Marco Müller came to the Shanghai International Film Festival this year, he did invite Wang Xiaoshuai and He Xin, hoping to bring the film "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" to Venice.

As an old friend of the Chinese, Lao Ma is quite popular in the domestic film industry, and he has indeed helped many Chinese films and Chinese filmmakers during his tenure as the Rotterdam Film Festival in the Netherlands, the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland, and the Asia-Pacific selection of the Venice Film Festival and the chairman of the Venice Film Festival.

As far as his personal experience is concerned, he loves China very much and is usually happy to visit China. As for China, it is undoubtedly a face-saving thing to be able to invite a big figure like the president of the Venice Film Festival to participate in events such as the Golden Rooster Awards or the Shanghai International Film Festival.

In fact, the so-called cultural differences are just an excuse, He Xin's biggest purpose is to let his girlfriend win an actress award through this movie, and then be able to get married smoothly.

After all, the two of them are not young, and Cheng Hao is almost thirty years old.

Jiang Wei nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "I heard that you also took Zhang Meng's "Piano of Steel"?"

"It's not that I took this play, but this film is now a project of our Xinhao Media next year. Not just me? And my girlfriend is involved in this drama together. ”

"Well, I've seen the book of this film, the perspective is unique, the lines are witty and humorous, and there is a strong humanistic concern for the history of the past. With the two of you joining, I believe that this drama will be successful in the future...... Oh right? I remember that your hometown seems to be an old industrial base? It's similar to Anshan described in Zhang Meng's script?"

"That's right, maybe that's why I was particularly touched when I read the script? Didn't even discuss it with Haozi? Decided to invest in this drama. ”

He Xin said, his face subconsciously showing some bitterness.

Maybe you can talk about some humanistic care in your work or script, but only have you witnessed and experienced the wave of layoffs that year? can truly appreciate the hardships, helplessness and sorrow of Chen Guilin depicted in the script.

Jiang Wei also sighed? Does he know about He Xin's background? And did not reopen the topic.

However, he frowned again and said, "Xiaohe, how did you come up with the idea of filming such a subject this time?"

Because you communicated on the phone before? At first, Jiang Wei didn't know that there was such a best-selling film as "Du Lala's Promotion" on the market now. And as an old-school intellectual? Jiang Wei always believes that film is an art, and it is not that he rejects the so-called commercial films. But He Xin is different, to paraphrase the words of later generations, he is the so-called literary male god. It's a bit out of place to make this kind of popcorn movie.

He Xin smiled and said: "I didn't say that I wanted to act, but Xinhao Media, as a film and television company, must diversify." ”

“......”

His meaning is obvious, Xinhao Media invested in the copyright of the best-selling film "Du Lala's Promotion", which is for money.

Jiang Wei is not easy to refute, he is not a pedantic person, he knows that literary films are not easy to mix in the market these days, and if film and television companies want to survive, they can't avoid commercial films. Unless you want Lou Ye and Section Chief Jia to be famous, and there is also the support of overseas funds.

The two were chatting when they saw a middle-aged woman who looked in her thirties, with a slender body, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and looked very energetic, and Mei Feng, another teacher in the department, walked in with a smile.

"Xiaohe, why do you have time to come to us today?"

Mei Feng was surprised to see He Xin here.

He is a good friend of Lou Ye, graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University, because of his love for movies, he studied for a master's degree in the Nortel Department, and then stayed on to teach. used to be the planner of "Purple Butterfly", including "Summer Palace" directed by Lou Ye and the screenwriter of the new film "Spring Breeze Drunk Night", which was just completed.

Because they worked together during the filming of "Purple Butterfly", he and He Xin are also old acquaintances.

In fact, Lou Ye invited He Xin when he was filming "The Night of the Spring Breeze", but since "Lan Yu", he has an instinctive rejection of this kind of gay film, for fear of being labeled.

"Teacher Mei!" He Xin hurriedly stood up and said hello.

"Oh, you're here to find Old Ginger, right?"

Before He Xin could answer, he saw the charming middle-aged woman beside him smile and said, "He came to find me." ”

As he spoke, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to He Xin and said, "Hello, He Xin, I'm Xue Xiaolu." ”

"Hello Mr. Xue!"

He Xin was busy shaking hands with her, even if it was the first time they met, but when she entered the door, He Xin had roughly guessed, because Teacher Jiang Wei's expression suddenly became very soft.

Xue Xiaolu said enthusiastically: "I didn't expect you to get the film copyright of the book "Durala", and I like this book very much......"

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and actually blatantly gave Jiang Wei a coquettish look, and then said: "I feel very honored that you can find me to adapt." ”

He Xin originally thought that it might take a lot of time to ask Xue Xiaolu to adapt this book, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he didn't bother to look at Lao Jiang's wry face, and said busily: "Thank you, Mr. Xue, then I'll trouble you." ”

Xue Xiaolu waved her hand very freely: "It's okay, then let's talk about it first...... Oh yes, who do you want to play Durala?"

"Well, it could be my girlfriend Cheng Hao. However, this candidate has not yet been finalized. He Xin scratched his scalp and said.

snatched the copyright of "Durala" from Xu Cairen's hands, which was originally a move of her girlfriend's will, although she kept saying that she wanted to play the role of Durala, but He Xin could see that her ** for this role was far less strong than the role of Li Baoli at the beginning.

"Oh, it's Cheng Hao......"

Xue Xiaolu pondered for a moment, as if she had reservations, but she immediately smiled again: "That's good." ”

For the style of the script, He Xin's requirements are very simple, perhaps influenced by the original movie, he still insists on the concept of the workplace and tries to amplify the elements of love.

"Originally, because you wanted to make a Chinese version of "The Queen Wears Prada", it turned out that you still wanted to make a difference. ”

Hey!

Hearing Xue Xiaolu's words, He Xin's heart suddenly moved. He didn't expect it before, but now after being reminded by Xue Xiaolu, he found that "Du Lala's Promotion" can really be made into a Chinese version of "The Queen Wears Prada".

This film was released in China after the Spring Festival last year, and He Xin didn't have time to watch it at that time, but the residual memories of his previous life told him that he might be able to do it.

He suddenly found that it was necessary to find resources for this movie on the Internet and revisit this movie carefully.
