Receiving a call from Niu Le, He Xin was quite surprised. Although he still keeps in touch with several well-connected people in the crew, Niu Le is still in contact with him for the first time.

At the beginning, when Niu Le told him on the phone that a director wanted to see him, he was quite excited, he didn't expect to be alive so soon, and he thanked him vigorously.

But when I heard that this was a play about gay love, his expression became subtle, and more importantly, the role he wanted to try out for was still the one who received it.

He is a straight man, and he has been for two lifetimes, not to mention that it involves the dignity of men, which obviously has a big psychological barrier.

He didn't have anything to say to Niu Leduo on the phone, but vaguely agreed first.

After hanging up the phone, he thought about it unsteadily, and called Wang Xiaoshuai again.

On the one hand, Niu Le told him that Director Wang recommended him at the beginning, and there was Wang Xiaoshuai's face in this; on the other hand, Wang Xiaoshuai could be said to be the leader of him on this road, and He Xin was more willing to communicate with him in his heart.

"What do you think? Let me tell you, Guan Jinpeng is a well-known director in Hong Kong. Do you know how many people want to play this role? Do you still want to play it? Can people take a fancy to you? What do you say? Other directors want to see you, that's giving you a chance, what kind of stinky sham are you putting up!"

“...... I can't let go of this, what kind of actor are you going to be?"

“...... It's a movie, it's art, and it's not really for you to do this!"

“...... Hong Kong directors are generous, don't you cherish the opportunity!"

“...... Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go to meet people, remember that you must have a good attitude!"

On the phone, He Xin expressed that he felt very awkward and didn't want to take this job, and was scolded by Wang Xiaoshuai.

What kind of movies and art Wang Xiaoshuai is talking about, the teacher is also a cliché in the classroom. As for the Hong Kong director, He Xin knows only Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, Wang Jing, Lin Chaoxian and other names.

Guan Jinpeng, just like when he heard Wang Xiaoshuai's name, sounds familiar, but I really don't know who it is?

But this time he learned to be obedient, and secretly inquired with his classmates in private, and the results once again confirmed his loneliness.

Guan Jinpeng is a veritable director, who has won the Best Director at the Hong Kong Film Awards. The movies he has made include "Rouge Buckle" and "Ruan Lingyu" that he has watched, as well as "Women's Heart", "The More Fallen the Happier You Are" and so on.

In short, Guan Jinpeng is at least a director who is even better than Wang Xiaoshuai.

Wang Xiaoshuai talked a lot, but there was a sentence "Hong Kong director is generous", and He Xin listened to it.

It's not that he hasn't dreamed of stardom, but he is very self-aware and always feels that he doesn't have this fate. He chose to do this business, mainly to make money, that is, to make money quickly from acting, so that he could buy a house as soon as possible in the future.

Art or something, at the moment, it has nothing to do with him.

......

The meeting place is about Starbucks in Xidan.

This kind of place He Xin has never entered, expensive!

Walking into an unknown place, or a place that doesn't match your identity, no matter how well you disguise yourself, there will always be a sense of restraint.

Probably because of the weekdays, there are not many customers, and the three or three are distributed in the store, and the clothes look different from the ordinary working people.

He didn't know what the director looked like, so he stood in the middle of the store and looked around blankly.

"He Xin!"

In the corner, a middle-aged man in a suit stood up and waved at him.

There was also a man sitting next to him, who looked about the same age, in his early forties, but the one was actually wearing a sweater.

"My name is Daniel Zhang, and this is director Guan Jinpeng. ”

The man in the suit took the initiative to introduce, and the man in the sweater also stood up at this time.

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Director!"

He Xin hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands and call someone.

"Hello. ”

Compared with Daniel Zhang's warm and powerful handshake, Guan Jinpeng's hand was very soft and a little damp, but it was released with a light grip. His Mandarin accent is very strange, probably the so-called "Gangpu".

"Xiaohe, sit down and have something to drink?" Daniel Zhang beckoned.

He Xin looked at the coffee in front of them and said politely: "Whatever, just have a cup of boiled water." ”

"If you don't want coffee, then have a cup of lemon tea. Daniel Zhang noticed his eyes and said with a smile.

"Oh, good, good!"

Originally, He Xin thought that a waiter would come to order, but he didn't expect Daniel Zhang to actually stand up, walk to the bar by himself, pay, and then come back with a cup of tea.

He Xin hurriedly stood up and said apologetically: "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry, it's my first time here and I don't know the rules here......"

"It's okay, it's okay, sit down!"

"I heard that you went to school in Chinese opera?" Daniel Zhang asked.

"Yes, but it's a refresher course, and I haven't been enrolled for a long time. He Xindao.

"Very good!"

Daniel Zhang nodded approvingly, he had also studied acting before, similar to He Xin, and attended this kind of similar training class. Then he said: "You know all about the situation of our play, right?"

"I know, Brother Niu told me the general plot on the phone. ”

"You don't have any worries, do you?"

Before Daniel Zhang contacted Liu Ye, the other party kept pushing back, to be honest, he was really a little worried.

"Uh......"

He Xin subconsciously glanced at Guan Jinpeng. From the time he came in to the present, except for saying hello, Guan Jinpeng has been sitting there without saying a word, just looking at him with a smile, which makes him feel a little hairy in his heart, and he wants to talk to the other party several times, but he doesn't know what to say.

There are definitely concerns, but the main thing is that the hurdle in my heart is difficult to overcome. But since he came, he could only ask cheekily: "Mr. Zhang, I just want to ask, this ...... How much does this pay you do?"

Hey?

Daniel Zhang was stunned, and even Guan Jinpeng, who had a calm face, subconsciously sat up straight at this time, from the beginning of picking actors to the present, the first time he met someone who came up and asked for the salary.

"Uh, don't you have an agent?" Daniel Zhang said with a smile.

Isn't the issue of remuneration to be discussed by agents?

"Nope. He Xin said very simply.

He was not stupid, seeing the stunned expressions of the two, he simply made his words clear, and said: "To be honest, it is difficult to shoot a drama with this theme without concerns, if there is less money, I will definitely not do it." ”

In fact, when he came, he had already thought about it, that is, for the sake of money, it would be okay, and if it didn't work, it wouldn't work, anyway, it would be a hammer deal.

"Well, this ...... The main reason for us to meet today is to see you as a person, and as for the issue of salary, it seems that it is too late to talk about it now......"

Before Daniel Zhang could speak, he heard a voice next to him: "Eighty thousand!"

"What?"

He Xin couldn't believe his ears.

Daniel Zhang Ning also turned his head to look at the past in surprise.

Guan Jinpeng first nodded slightly at Daniel Zhang, indicating that he knew what he knew, and then smiled at He Xin, who looked incredulous: "Eighty thousand pieces, what do you think?"

Eighty thousand!

He Xin never dreamed that it would be such a big number.

You must know that the price in his heart is only 10,000 yuan, even if the bargaining price is 8,000, it is estimated that he will do it. But I never expected it to increase tenfold all at once, no wonder Wang Xiaoshuai said that Hong Kong directors were generous.

He swallowed hard, his lips trembling, and said, "No...... No problem, I took it. ”

Then he took a deep breath, calmed his emotions a little, and asked eagerly, "Director, what about the script?"

He Xin's purpose of being a man has always been to take people's money and eliminate disasters with people. Since the other party is so sincere, how can there be any psychological obstacles, the most important thing is that you must play the trick well.

Guan Jinpeng smiled and said: "Tomorrow, please go to the Friendship Hotel, go through the formalities, and the script will be given to you when the time comes." ”

"Okay, then I'll be here tomorrow morning. ”

The matter was finalized, and seeing that the time was almost up, He Xin got up and said goodbye.

"Liu Ye, don't you look at it anymore?" As soon as the person left, Daniel Zhang couldn't wait to ask.

Although Liu Ye was reluctant to agree to meet, he did not give up, in his mind Liu Ye should be more suitable than He Xin, after all, he graduated from Chinese opera for four years, and he was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor.

To put it bluntly, Daniel Zhang is worried about He Xin's acting skills.

Guan Jinpeng shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't look at it, it's him." ”

He didn't tell Daniel Zhang, in fact, it was He Xin's confused and innocent eyes that flashed from time to time just now that deeply moved him.
