Chapter 128: The Landscape of Love
"Are you busy all this time?"
It may be that the front is blocked, the car is parked in the car, and there is no urgency, so the two can only sit in the car and chat.
"It's okay, the TV series just finished today, so I came to pick you up. β
"What are you talking about?"
"It's an action movie, in fact, it's not a TV series in the strict sense, it's called film and television, there are six episodes in total, and each episode is an independent story......"
After listening to Hu Jun's brief introduction, He Xin understood that this is actually another work that follows the trend. It followed the trend of Hollywood movies, just replacing the three beauties of the movie with four guys, and then there was a boss Taipan similar to Charlie, who gave them orders to complete the task.
Hu Jun only played a small supporting role in one of his episodes, with very few scenes, which is really pitiful.
However, when it comes to the movie he received, Hu Jun's eyebrows are dancing, this is a comedy film directed by Zhao Liangjun, starring Wu Junru and Zeng Zhiwei, saying that it is a comedy, but in fact, the core is an art film, through the memories of an "old chicken" Ah Jin, to see through the history and changes of Hong Kong in the past 30 years.
Hu Jun plays a robber who robs a gold shop as the main supporting role, and is also one of Ah Jin's many "qingren". Hearing that Hu Jun's character is called Ye Ziqiang, He Xin couldn't help but be happy, isn't it obvious that the names of Zhang Ziqiang and Ye Jihuan, two well-known gangsters in Hong Kong, are combined!
This is similar to what he played before, Zhang Shihao played by Zhao Yanguo, Brother Hao, is an allusion to the robber of the century, Zhang Ziqiang, nicknamed "Big Rich", which has the same effect.
Fortunately, the traffic jam was not too long, and soon the traffic began to squirm slowly, and after passing Lai Chi Kok, it began to unblock. With the steering wheel in hand, Hu Jun neatly turned the corner, followed Kwai Chung Road, followed the West Kowloon Corridor to Jordan Road, and finally turned to Nathan Road and stopped at the entrance of a four-star hotel near the Temple of Heaven in Yau Ma Tei.
This is the heart of Hong Kong's downtown area, and Hu Jun has already booked a room for him here.
"Tomorrow's awards ceremony is at the Science Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui East, which is very close and easy to access. β
Hu Jun took him upstairs with him.
This four-star hotel looks very magnificent, but as soon as you walk into the room, it is really small inside, and it is about half the size of a mainland hotel room.
"That's the case in Hong Kong, where there is little land and many people, and the houses are like pigeon cages. Where I live, the room is still small. β
Hu Jun's place of residence is in Tai Po, far away from the center of the city, which is the old house lent to him by Guan Jinpeng, which is probably another place where Liang Ziqing lives in another time and space.
"It's okay, just have a place to stay. β
Yes, He Xin really doesn't care, he has even lived in Qiaodong before, not to mention that this is still a four-star hotel.
"Then you take a shower first, change your clothes, and go to dinner later, and I'll make a phone call to talk to Director Guan." β
"Oh, I'm fast. β
Sweating, sticky, and uncomfortable, He Xin hurriedly took out his clothes from the suitcase and went into the bathroom.
When he came out, Hu Jun was leaning on the bed and watching TV.
Director Guan said, I will introduce someone to you in a while. β
"Who?"
"Li Miaoxue!"
"Female?"
He Xin was stunned, but of course he didn't think that Lao Guan was going to pull any pimps for him.
Hu Jun nodded with a smile and said, "It's a female director, she used to be an assistant director for Director Guan, so she can be regarded as Director Guan's apprentice." β
"Oh. β
He didn't think much about it, maybe it was just for everyone to introduce him.
He also asked casually, "Is it beautiful?"
"Well, in general. However, she is quite talented, and her first film made last year was shortlisted for the Director's Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival. β
Hu Jun is right, the director named Li Miaoxue is really average, short and fat, with small eyes, a little collapsed nose, and a very typical face of an ordinary woman in the south.
She debuted very early, and began to make movies with Guan Jinpeng more than ten years ago, as a scene reporter, assistant director, and later as a screenwriter, and supervised several small-budget art films. Last year, he directed his first feature film and was shortlisted for the Director's Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival.
Her personality is very hearty and she laughs loudly, she said that she only met He Xin after watching it, and later watched it again, and felt that He Xin's performance was very natural, especially Xiaogui's little shyness, which was very similar to the character personality of Xiao Lie, the postman who was working on the script she was working on at the time.
Her script has just completed the first draft, and when she heard that He Xin came to Hong Kong to attend the Golden Bauhinia Award ceremony, she couldn't wait to let Lao Guan introduce He Xin to her.
He Xin took a cursory look at the first draft of her script, and the name was very romantic and artisticββγ
It tells the story of an unfinished painting of a Hong Kong girl named Man in order to find her deceased boyfriend, and the story of a Qingdao postman named Xiaolie, the story is very simple but very pure, a little sadness, a little warmth permeates the whole story, delicate and elegant.
"Why do you want to put the story in Qingdao?"
Because his girlfriend's home is in Qingdao, and He Xin stayed there for more than ten days during the Chinese New Year, he has a natural sense of intimacy with the city.
Li Miaoxue pursed her lips and smiled: "When I traveled to Qingdao last year, there was a free travel book in the hotel, and I saw a very small photo in the book, called 'Dengying Pear Snow', which is a large piece of pear blossoms blooming like snow, which is particularly beautiful! I was thinking about this story at the time, and I thought that after Asen's death, the unfinished landscape painting should be like this." β
A taste of pretentiousness unique to the director of an art film came to his face.
Although He Xin had never heard of Dengying Lixue, he still nodded and asked again: "I see that it is only written in the back that Man met Xiao Lie at the place where the pear blossoms bloomed, but it seems that it was just an encounter, and it didn't say whether the two of them had sparks?"
Hearing this question, Li Miaoxue frowned and muttered: "I'm also thinking about this ending, I feel that if the two of them really spark, it seems too clichΓ©, but it's nothing, and it seems bland and boring...... Well, I haven't figured it out yet. β
"I don't feel dull and boring, but there is a kind of unfinished business, leaving blank, which is actually good. β
Guan Jinpeng interjected at this time, obviously he had read the first draft of this script before.
Li Miaoxue nodded, but she didn't say anything, it seems that she is at least a very assertive person, and she will not easily change her mind for the opinions of her teachers or seniors.
He Xin quite agrees with Lao Guan's opinion, but he does not think from an artistic point of view like Lao Guan, what is still unfinished and what is blank.
But from a realistic point of view, it should be difficult for a Hong Kong girl full of art to have any love with a very cheesy Qingdao postman.
If you are more realistic, this little postman is probably just a playmate, a spare tire, and even a tool to relieve boredom when this Hong Kong girl is sad and lonely.
The meal was eaten until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and when they parted, Li Miaoxue smiled and said to He Xin: "My drama may not start until after the Spring Festival next year, I have made an appointment here, and you must set aside a schedule for me at that time!"
"No problem!" He Xin smiled.
He doesn't like this script, he can't talk about disliking it, but for Lao Guan's sake, he must agree.
The place to eat was very close to the hotel where He Xin lived, and he and Hu Jun had come all the way before, and Hu Jun had to walk back with him to pick up the car.
"Brother Jun, go up and sit down?" When he arrived at the door of the hotel, He Xin invited.
"No, you should rest early. β
Hu Jun shook his head, and then smiled: "What are the arrangements for tomorrow? If it's okay, I'll take you out for a walk?"
"It's free to go around, but I've heard that the watch is pretty cheap here?"
"What, you want to buy a Rolex?"
"I can't afford a Rolex, I just want to see it, and if there's a suitable one, I'll buy one for my girlfriend. He Xin said busily.
Cheng Hao had a Citizen quartz watch before, maybe it was broken, or it was too low-grade, anyway, I haven't seen my girlfriend wear it since I graduated, and now like him, I use my mobile phone to see the time. When he came to Hong Kong this time, he was thinking about buying his girlfriend a slightly decent watch.
"If it is genuine, it is actually not much different from ours, parallel goods are much cheaper, but it is easy to buy fakes if you are not careful. Well, call me tomorrow when you wake up, and I'll pick you up and go to Causeway Bay, where there are a lot of watch shops, all of which are time-honored. Hu Jun said.
"Yo, that's great, thank you, Brother Jun!" He Xin said with a smile.
"What are you polite to me!" Hu Jun patted him on the shoulder, and said with obvious envy on his face: "I have to say, your kid is so lucky!"
The failure of the Golden Horse Awards last year has always been a knot in Hu Jun's heart, so much so that more than ten years later, when he was interviewed by Lu Yu, when he talked about it, he bluntly said that he couldn't accept it for a long time.
What's more, his exhibition in Hong Kong this time did not go well, but just now he witnessed He Xin, who came to Hong Kong for the first time, being flocked to by the director, and his heart was full of envy and even jealousy.
"Haha! I'll just say that my luck has always been good, sometimes it's really not good to be unconvinced!" He Xin said with a sneering smile.
In fact, he knows a little bit about Hu Jun's mood at the moment, if he empathizes and deliberately says some comforting words, it seems very hypocritical, it is better to be straightforward.
Then, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "However, this time I have a hunch, Brother Jun, you must have a play!"
"Damn! Last time at the Golden Horse Awards, you kid said the same, but what about the result? It's not that your kid won the award!"
Hu Jun was angry when he looked at him, and he was even more unhappy when he wanted to pretend to be a ghost.
But it's not cool, but the little pimple in my heart just now disappeared in an instant. He knew that He Xin couldn't be blamed for this, it was purely his own bad luck.
This time, he really didn't dare to hold out any hopes, in addition to the Golden Horse actor in front of him, the opponent was even more Zhou Xingchi, who couldn't be shortlisted last time, and the competition became more intense.
And this is the home of others, as the vane of the Golden Bauhinia Awards, as soon as the shortlist of the Golden Bauhinia Awards was announced, the media in Hong Kong had already predicted that Zhou Xingchi and him were the biggest favorites for the Golden Bauhinia Awards.
