Perhaps due to the influence of the various demonized depictions of Director Chen Kaige in his life's online articles, He Xin was inevitably a little apprehensive when he was invited to meet Director Chen.

But after really meeting Director Chen, he suddenly found that the great director in reality was very different from the demonized Director Chen in his impression.

He speaks an authentic Beijing dialect, his voice is low and mellow, a bit like an announcer, which makes people listen very comfortably, and when talking to you, his eyes will always be on you, and his words are also very polite, and he must call "you" when he speaks!

Maybe be careful, you will find that he may only be polite on the surface, and he is still high in his bones, but with his current status in the circle, even if he is polite on the surface, he will still make people flattered, like a spring breeze.

And compared with the directors He Xin contacted before, Director Chen is neither as wooden as Lou Ye nor as direct as Wang Xiaoshuai, but he has some similarities with Guan Jinpeng, who is very good at telling stories and delicate.

He painted a grand blueprint for his new film, and then highlighted the roles of the main characters in the film and the exchange of emotions.

Even if He Xin thought what the final result of his movie would be, he was a little enthusiastic by what he said.

It's just that He Xin is more interested in some technical content in terms of special effects, Director Chen doesn't seem to be very good at it, he is more about the picture of what I want, what style I want the character modeling, etc., and macro things are more.

The first time they met, although He Xin hadn't had time to read the script, he heard from Director Chen Kaige's mouth that this movie was actually telling a story of "love and betrayal", which was also the consistent theme of Director Chen's previous works.

In the communication between the two, Director Chen was basically talking, He Xin was listening, and he said very little.

The various evaluations and controversies of "Wuji" on the previous life network made him a little confused, and he couldn't figure out which ones were good and which were bad, so he simply forgot all these things. Receive what Director Chen depicts as something unknown.

So he's more of a problem with something he doesn't understand.

I have to say that Director Chen's literary literacy is very high, and he seems to be a very good teacher, and he patiently answers the questions he raises.

The first meeting lasted more than two hours, and because it was the first meeting, the two sides did not make a clear commitment or reply at first.

When He Xin walked out of the meeting place with the script, the cold wind blew, and finally made his somewhat chaotic head gradually sober up. He found that after talking so much, Director Chen just told him a story with a simple theme, but the process was more complicated.

And at this moment, looking back and thinking about my feelings about this meeting, I am afraid that the deepest impression is that Director Chen's eye bags are really obvious, his nostrils are really big, and Mrs. Chen, who has always been inseparable from him, is really beautiful!

"How was the conversation with Director Chen?" As soon as He Xin entered the door, Cheng Hao couldn't wait to run over and ask.

He Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly, just now in the car, he had already answered this question to Sister Hong, who was also eager to call. He had to repeat his previous answer: "I just talked about movies, and Director Chen gave me a script, and I didn't say anything else." ”

Cheng Hao's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Since you have given you the script, there is great hope!

The girlfriend's words were surprisingly consistent with what the agent said on the phone, and He Xin smiled: "The three protagonists should be unlikely, at most they are a big match!"

The reason why the story that Director Chen told him is complicated is because this is a story of four-cornered love, the general, the duke, and the slave all love the princess, and the entanglement between the four of them forms the main line of the story.

The candidate for the princess has been determined from the beginning, it is Hong Kong star Zhang Baiju, and the Korean first-line actor Zhang Dongjian and Japanese action star Hiroyuki Sanada, who were rumored by the media before, are likely to occupy two of the three leading actors, as for who is the other one?

Although Director Chen didn't say it, He Xin vaguely remembered that it should be King Xie Qi. And the role he can get, from Director Chen's unclear statement, He Xin can probably hear that it is probably a killer role.

The name of this character is the fourth male number after the three major male protagonists, but in the story that Director Chen said, the killer's line is just a branch line that complements the main line, sets off the protagonist's aura, and enriches the storyline.

To put it bluntly, it's just a big match.

"The big match is not bad, hurry up and take out the script and show it to me. ”

As he spoke, his girlfriend snatched the backpack he hadn't had time to put down, and pulled out the thick script from it.

Watching his girlfriend hold this script as if she was holding a Bible, carefully opening it, her eyes full of envy and piety, He Xin felt a little funny, but also accompanied by a touch of sadness.

He knows that his girlfriend's heart is very high, and she yearns for the big screen development, even if she is very popular now, it seems that there are still few opportunities.

For Chinese actresses, forty years old is a hurdle, but more often this hurdle is often more advanced, and examples like Gong Li and Lin Qingxia who are over forty years old and can still star in big heroine movies are extremely rare.

In other words, the artistic life of Chinese actresses is very short, and when they reach the age, they either play their mothers and mothers-in-law, or they gradually fade out of the circle or play soy sauce in various TV dramas.

The most obvious example is Pan Hong, from the end of the seventies to the entire eighties, she can be said to be a big star on the same level as Xiaoqing's grandmother in the domestic film industry, she has won four Golden Rooster Awards, one Hundred Flowers Award, and even won two international film festivals in the world, but after the age of forty, she began to play various mothers and mothers-in-law in various TV series.

Thinking about his girlfriend, she is already twenty-four in a flash, twenty-six years old, and at most fifteen or sixteen years of golden artistic life, if she still wants to mix in the circle, I'm afraid she will have to play a mother.

He Xin often thinks that he is really useless as a reborn person, looking at which people are not shouting for wind and rain, and he can only judge the quality of a drama by relying on some lifetime memories, but except for some popular film and television dramas that he has an impression in his mind, such as literary films such as "Bicycle", "Lan Yu", and "Little Tailor" that brought him a lot of honors, he has no impression at all.

And even if he knows that movie or TV series is popular, he can only say a general plot, and most of the lines in the play can't be remembered clearly, at most, it is to provide an idea for the screenwriter to recreate, so that it may become another play.

Not to mention the director, the director is a technical job, even if you can recall every shot you have seen, but if you really want to be the director to shoot this scene, it is absolutely impossible to restore the exact same, even if you put aside the factors of the actors, the lighting, photography, setting, art, sound effects, etc. on the scene are all exquisite.

In her previous life, her girlfriend really didn't have any big-screen works to take, and she was incompetent, so I'm afraid I have to wait for my partner to grow up and see if there is a good opportunity, or recommend it to Wang Xiaoshuai to shoot "Long Time" or something in the future, maybe I can also watch a Berlin actress by then.

However, his divergent thoughts were suddenly washed away by a grunt in his stomach, and he shouted to his girlfriend who was reading the script with relish: "What do you want for dinner?"

"Whatever!" he didn't look up.

He Xin washed his hands and ran to the kitchen to take a look, the two thighs and most of the chicken breasts of the chicken stewed in the morning casserole were gone, and there were still a lot of leftovers in the rice cooker.

"Scrambled eggs and fried rice, chicken soup is hot, deal with a meal?"

"Okay, but it's better to put some small greens in the chicken soup, and shoot a cucumber, and don't be too oily with egg fried rice, I feel a little fat these days." ”
