"Haha, Xiaohe, see you again!"

From afar, Yu Dong stretched out his hands to greet him warmly.

"Mr. Yu, hello!"

He Xin shook his hand with a little restraint.

The two had met at a dinner party, but there were more people at that dinner, and the two didn't say a few words, they just knew each other. It seems that it is far from the point where Yu Dong needs to be so enthusiastic, but it makes him a little flattered, after all, he is a big man!

"How about it, the conditions here are very hard, is the filming going well?"

"Uh, it's good, and the filming went very smoothly. ”

"Oh, by the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, this time two more works have been shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, which is really a glory for our Chinese films!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. ”

In the face of Dong's enthusiasm, He Xin's reaction was always a little wooden, or uncomfortable. No way, he has never dealt with such a successful person in his two lives, even if he finally mixes up with his personality in this life, but he always has an inexplicable fear of socializing and the so-called high meal.

On that occasion, even if there was a lot of wine and food in front of him, he would always be unpleasant, far from being as comfortable drinking beer and skewers as Li Mengnan, Hao Rong, or even Deng Chao in a small restaurant or on the street.

He always thinks that he is an actor, and an actor only needs to act well. And as the material conditions are now great satisfaction for him, he has gradually not only regarded acting as a tool to make a living, but to paraphrase a hypocritical phrase, he is a bit of a pursuit of the performance itself, rather than filming just for money like before.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fooled by Ning Hao to make this movie together.

"I hope you can come back with honors this time, and I will pick you up when the time comes!"

"Being shortlisted is already the biggest win for us, and I don't even think about winning the award now. ”

He Xin said this very frankly, after two trips to Cannes, he has fully understood the meaning of the words that Chief Jia said when he came to Cannes, "To be able to come to Cannes is victory". Screening out these twenty or thirty films from thousands of films is a victory to some extent.

"That's right, it's really a pity to say that this Venice Film Festival didn't have a nominal mainland film shortlisted. ”

I have to say that Yu Dong is very good at talking, but his expression is always sincere when he speaks, which makes people feel that he does empathize.

Then he changed his words and asked seemingly casually: "Hong Kong Xinghao Pictures, the production company, was founded by you and Ning Hao, right?"

Hearing the word founding, He Xin hurriedly waved his hand and said shyly: "It's just a leather bag company, just to sell films." ”

"How's it selling?"

"Right now......

He Xin hesitated slightly, after all, MK2 was just an intention, and it had not yet been finalized, and then he smiled and said: "I don't know it yet, I just want to try my luck at the film festival." ”

Yu Dong also smiled, looked at him with deep meaning, and said: "The films that can be shortlisted for the competition unit of the Venice Film Festival against the current will definitely not worry about selling, if there is any difficulty, just speak." ”

"Yo, thank you for your concern!"

Yu Dong's Bona Culture originally started as a distributor, that is, it has been involved in the field of film investment and production since this year, and it is the first film invested and controlled by Bona Culture.

He Xin wasn't sure if Yu Dong's words just now were just polite or intentionally showing goodwill, but his heart suddenly moved. When he and Ning Hao were tinkering with it, they were very self-aware, and it was impossible for a script like this to satirize religion, politics, and beliefs, and be full of various metaphors, to pass the review of the relevant departments, so he didn't have this idea at all.

At the beginning, one wanted to emulate the road to fame of Section Chief Jia, Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye and others, and the other simply thought about the addiction of acting, and then it was by mistake that he came to this point step by step.

But now Ning Hao's heart is enthusiastic and wants to tinker with a different thing, He Xin has just read the script that Ning Hao sent by email.

This is a story about three grassland children who picked up a table tennis ball, and their grandmother told them that it was a pearl that fell from the sky, so they insisted on dedicating the table tennis ball to the country.

This is a very healing and heartwarming story, not only does the whole script have nothing forbidden, but there is even positive content about environmental protection and girls' schooling, which can be operated through formal channels.

In this way, after the movie is made, not only can it be distributed overseas, but it may also be released in China, even if it can't be released, it can also be sold to movie channels or something.

Compared with the ethereal overseas market, the mainland market is definitely much more reliable. He Xin hadn't realized this problem before, but now that he heard Yu Dong's words, he began to think in his heart, maybe he really needed the help of this big man in the domestic film distribution industry at that time.

Especially Ning Hao was still holding the book in his hand, which he was now full of thoughts, and he would definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future.

So, he then said in a half-joking tone: "If there is really something that bothers you in the future, you must not shirk it when the time comes!"

The speaker has the intention, and the listener has the intention.

Yu Dong's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile: "Xiaohe, it seems that you still don't understand me, I have always been a mouthful of spit and a nail when I speak, and my words definitely count!"

After snorting, he immediately said with deep meaning: "I am looking forward to working with you." ”

He Xin was a little surprised by Yu Dong's reaction, and felt that the other party seemed to be impatient, but everything was not mature at the moment, and he could only know it in his heart.

In fact, He Xin didn't know that this year was a critical year for Yu Dong's Bona Culture Company, with the success of film distribution, Yu Dong was no longer satisfied with this single mode of operation, and began to develop into the upstream investment and production field of the film industry.

It was also this year that PropNex and Poly cooperated to open the era of Poly Bona integrating film investment, production, distribution, screening and performing arts brokerage.

It's just the birth of a movie, and everything comes from creativity. With a good idea, there will be subsequent investment, production, distribution and screening. Yu Dong also wants to recruit talents, but those well-known directors in China who have been proven by the box office or awards either have their own fixed partners or their own companies.

For example, in the new picture of the national teacher, Feng Xiaogang is the signature of Huayi, and Chen Kaige has long been contained by his master Han Sanye under the banner of the hero of the century. And those so-called sixth generations, Section Chief Jia and Wang Xiaoshuai have their own companies, and Lou Ye has a close relationship with Shanghai Film Studio.

Not only directors, but also actors, the actors who have emerged in recent years have basically been divided up by Huayi, Rongxinda, and Haiyan.

In the original time and space, after Bona and Poly reached a cooperation in the second half of the year, and at the same time received capital injection from overseas capital, Yu Dong couldn't ask for it in China, so he simply turned to cooperate with the Hong Kong circle, which was eager to develop in the north due to the shrinking market, and launched a series of co-productions.

But at this time, Yu Dong saw a name associated with He Xin in the shortlist of this year's Venice Film Festival - Ning Hao!

He hadn't even heard of the name Ning Hao before, but as soon as he got to know it, he found that he was not a nobody, he had won the best director of the Beijing University Student Film Festival, and he served as a screenwriter, director, and photographer Before being shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, he also won the gold medal in the Asian DV film competition unit of the Hong Kong International Film Festival.

This made Yu Dong, who was eager to recruit talents, suddenly shine, especially when he was also associated with He Xin.

One of the purposes of Yu Dong's visit this time was to come to explore He Xin's style, and his idea was that if it was possible, it would be best to incorporate these two people together, even if it didn't work out, at least they could have a good relationship.

After the few words after the meeting, Yu Dong was generally satisfied, after all, this kind of thing cannot be finalized in a few words, and the meaning revealed from He Xin's words seems that there is still room for cooperation in the future, which is an opportunity for both sides to buffer and investigate.

And He Xin is far from being as far as Yu Dong thought, he is just a temporary idea after seeing Yu Dong today. Although he has the impression that the name Bona often appears in the opening credits of some blockbuster movies in later generations, there is no doubt that it must be a big company.

It's just that his character of being rich and safe is destined to make him unable to become one of those very arrogant characters in the big water brush next door. Even if it was a cooperation with Ning Hao, in his opinion, it was just a coincidence.

Therefore, the exchange between him and Yu Dong this time is also a good fate, reserving some possibilities for cooperation in the future. As far as his original intention is concerned, he is still a down-to-earth actor, just to make some money if he has the opportunity.

In addition to visiting He Xin's tone and appeasing the house soldiers who were in trouble over the treatment issue before, Yu Dong's main purpose was to promote the movie.

There were also several reporters who came with him, and they found Lu Yue, Shu Qi and He Xin to do a special interview, the content of which was nothing more than to tout the movie and talk about their feelings.

When interviewing He Xin, he naturally couldn't avoid the topic of being shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival this time, but the experience of returning from Cannes twice told him that he was still low-key in everything, repeating what he had told many people before, "If you can go to Venice, you will be a victory".

Yu Dong and the reporters only stayed in the crew for two days, and then with the house soldiers and his agent Du Peihong completely confessed, and after Yu Dong personally appeased, the filming finally got better.

......

"Good fellow, you're so tanned!"

When Li Mengnan joined the group, He Xin's role had already come to an end. He doesn't have many roles, and he plays the role of a group officer who covets Shu Qi's beauty and has a little power.

Since the last time they returned to Beijing, the two of them have not seen each other for several months. Seeing that Li Mengnan was still giggling, He Xin was somewhat relieved.

Not long ago, this product finally divorced his wife, didn't catch anything, and went out of the house, so he tried his best to take on the show outside during this time.

Friends reunited after a long absence, and there was such a big thing, He Xin had to care about it, so he specially found a small restaurant, and the two chatted while drinking.

Li Mengnan and his ex-wife, He Xin somewhat understand that the divorce is not because of any principled issue, in the final analysis, the original union of the two was to live together, but after a long time, because of the personality, living habits and other discordant factors accumulated together, they couldn't make do with it, so they could only part ways.

"Then where do you live now?" He Xin asked.

"No, Hao Rong's family just moved to a new house, and the old house was lent to me for the time being. Otherwise, I might have come to you at that time. Li Mengnan said with a smile.

Seeing He Xin's worried look, he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, really! The moment I got the divorce certificate, my heart was more steady." Oh, by the way, if there is any suitable role for me in the future, remember to introduce me to it. I have to be like you now, save money to buy a house, I can't live in Lao Hao's small house for the rest of my life!"

"Cheng, that's fine. He Xin nodded hurriedly.

just looked at Li Mengnan's face that was still bitter and hateful when he smiled, and secretly sighed that the time is not right now, after two years of anti-Japanese dramas began to prevail, with his image and acting skills, it is definitely a hot item.

......

“Cut！”

Hearing the director shout to stop, the person lying on it quickly stood up with his pants, but the person lying below tidied up the clothes on his chest a little, and asked calmly, "Director, what's wrong?"

Lu Yue looked at the picture in the monitor, and wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't have the intention to laugh, so he had to say implicitly: "What, you are a little too active, you have to be a little jerky, let Xiao He take the initiative." ”

This scene is He Xin's last scene, and it is also a highlight, talking about the sudden death of her friend Wei Hong touched Shu Qi a lot, at this time He Xin came to find her, and when she gave her the letter of introduction to the city that she did everything possible to get from Li Mengnan, she could no longer suppress her love for He Xin, and gave her first time to He Xin.

Although this is a passion and drama, Lu Yue's shooting technique is still relatively hazy, in the thatched house on the top of the mountain, there is no light, and there are only two shadows on the side of the camera.

Of course, at the moment of emotional outburst, the two were passionate, kissing from the door to the house.

Speaking of which, He Xin is already familiar with kiss scenes, he has filmed kiss scenes with Sun Li, and has all had such scenes with Li Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi, and they are all real, without any borrowing, and this time it is the same, the love is deep, and the investment and truth are needed.

However, when he heard the director's slightly embarrassed and subtle words, He Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud, in fact, he also felt a little strange when he was acting just now, the reason was that the other party was too familiar with this kind of drama routine, and his two legs went directly to his waist, but he became passive.

Hearing the director's opinion at this time, the experienced Shu Qi couldn't help but blush slightly, and when she saw that the guy opposite was still laughing, her eyes suddenly widened, and she said fiercely: "Laughing fart, come again!"
