In mid-November, "The Story of Two Donkeys", which has been in theaters for nearly two months, was finally released, and the final box office was fixed at 38.5 million, surpassing the previously acclaimed Zhou Jieba's "The Unspeakable Secret", which is currently second only to "Lust and Caution", which broke through the 100 million yuan mark at the box office in half a month after its release, and "Disciple", which was released in the summer, ranking third in the annual domestic film box office.

Although there are still two blockbusters "Assembly Number" and "Casting Names" in the Chinese New Year file next month, "The Tale of Two Donkeys" has almost been booked in the top five domestic film box office positions of the year.

And also in mid-November, "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", which lasted nearly three months, was finally completed, and Cheng Hao didn't even have time to rest, and rushed to Chongqing non-stop. Director Gao Xixi's adaptation of Zhang Hatshui's "Drunk Gold Fans" has long been waiting for her to join.

He Xin was originally a little worried about the state of her girlfriend, but she complained on the phone that the cheongsam prepared for her by the crew was not good-looking, and she was even ready to fly to Shanghai in person to find the master to re-order more than a dozen sets of cheongsams Yunyun, looking very energetic, he was immediately relieved.

"Teacher He, come, taste!"

"This is a pear, huh?"

He Xin took the fruit that Li Jia handed over to him that was shaped like a pear, but the skin looked like an apple.

"Well, this is Yizhu pear, but it's sweet. ”

Li Jia nibbled on the pear, climbed to the marching bed where He Xin was sitting, and sat down next to him.

He Xinjin has been in the group for almost 20 days, and the filming progress is very slow, in addition to the weather, it is more because Mr. Yu is a rookie director, and his ability to organize and mobilize is not enough. For example, today is a rare sunny and good weather, so it stands to reason to step up shooting, but she is still sitting in the wooden house and discussing various issues such as scenery, lighting, and shooting with the backstage, and it was delayed in vain in the morning.

Yao Lu's camp bed had now been requisitioned by He Xin and placed in the shade of a tree in front of the wooden house. At this time, he was wearing a white coat, wearing braids and scattering his hair, draped it messily behind his head, making a pot of Wagu tea, sitting cross-legged on the marching bed, while sipping tea, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the surrounding forests and meadows, breathing in the fresh air, but leisurely.

Wagu tea is a local specialty, and it looks like Tieguanyin produced by Hu Jian. But the natural environment here is pure, there is no domestic industrial pollution, it is a real green pollution-free ecological tea, with the boiling water of the mountain spring here, the Wagu tea brewed is bright green, fragrant and mellow, bitter and sweet. He Xin fell in love with this bite for the first time.

"Well, that's good. ”

He Xin took a bite of the pear, the flesh was snow-white and crisp, full of moisture, and very sweet.

"Come, tea!"

He took the initiative to pour Li Jia another cup of tea.

Li Jia is the second female lead in this play, playing the role of Xiaolan, a girl who grew up with Ah Ming in the film, she loves Ah Ming deeply, but unfortunately Ah Ming only treats her as a sister, and then Ah Ming falls in love with Ah Jiu, and she actually extends her love to Ah Jiu, which is different from the vicious female number two and selfish love that everyone is familiar with in the past.

After being reincarnated, she and Ah Jiu reincarnated Xiaoyu became a pair of sisters. They have both forgotten their past lives, but they meet again and become best friends.

As an actor, He Xin had no impression of her in his last life. She is three years older than He Xin, graduated from Nortel's famous 96-level star class, and is in the same class as Zhao Yanzi, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Guo Xiaodong, Zu Feng, Kong Wei, etc.

In fact, her starting point is also very high, and she starred in "Blue Love" and "Warm" directed by Huo Jianqi one after another as soon as she graduated. In particular, "Warm" won the Golden Kirin Award at the Tokyo Film Festival in one fell swoop.

Li Jia herself was also nominated for Best Actress at the 23rd Golden Rooster Awards with Jiang Wenli and Yu Nan that year. It's just a pity that he lost to Yu Nan who had an outstanding performance in "Shocking" in the end.

But in the next few years, her star path did not seem to be smooth, in addition to starring in two art films with limited influence, she could only play soy sauce in TV series.

She can't say that she is not good-looking, with slightly upturned lips, she looks very much like Hong Kong TVB actress Chen Songlin at first glance. And she has a good personality, cheerful and lively.

This time, she was selected by Yu Feihong to play the role of "Xiaolan" in the previous life and "Yaping" in this life, in addition to her own acting skills, but also because she is a Yunnan girl, she has a natural sense of fit with the mountains and rivers of Yunnan.

He Xin filmed with her, in addition to her good acting skills, on the one hand, on the other hand, she didn't seem to have any scheming, she usually laughed and laughed, did not deliberately flatter and flatter, and did not pretend to be high like a white lotus. Although she is now almost a passer-by compared to many popular classmates in the class, she seems to be very Buddhist and content, in her words, as long as there is filming, life is good and she is already very satisfied.

When he was in Wuhan, he always faced Wan Qian's deliberate flattery and flattery, although he was not disgusted, but it always made him very uncomfortable. And now he gets along with Li Jia, and it is very natural to be together, without any discomfort.

"Teacher He, let's talk about filming?"

Xiao Chen, the director of the synchronous documentary, saw that He Xin was idle and had nothing to do with Li Jia and was drinking tea and chatting, so he came over with a smile and said.

"You don't shoot the director, come to us to join in the fun. ”

He Xin was bragging about his participation in the Venice Film Festival at this time, and Li Jiazheng listened energetically, and was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's interruption.

"Hehe, the director has already filmed enough. Teacher He, you see that the weather is rare today, and the background behind you is also beautiful, let's take a picture first?"

In the background behind the marching bed where He Xin and Li Jiapan sat was the large green meadow, then the forest, and in the distance there could be the majestic snow-capped mountains.

"Okay, let's shoot it. ”

Seeing Xiao Chen's begging expression, He Xin had no choice but to nod in agreement. And the synchronous documentary originally had various clips of interviewing actors, and they had to be filmed in the morning and in the evening anyway.

"Thank you, Mr. He. ”

Xiao Chen was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly beckoned his photographer to set up the machine.

"Wait, I'll have to re-braid my hair......"

He Xin suddenly realized that the braids he was wearing had not been tidied up.

"Teacher He, I'll help you!" Li Jia climbed behind him.

"Don't, don't clean up, it's more natural to look like this. Xiao Chen said busily. 67

The synchronous documentary records the real side of the actors behind the scenes, and Xiao Chen can't wait for He Xin's current raunchy appearance.

"Cheng, so be it. ”

He Xin also said, and put the messy wig on his back.

Li Jia took a rope and tied his wig into a ponytail, so he drooped like this, looked at it and smiled: "It's still so good-looking." ”

Xiao Chen felt that it was better to scatter, and it could better express the free and uninhibited feeling of the actor in private, but he didn't dare to question it, so he had to say: "Teacher He, then let's start." ”

Li Jia sat next to He Xin with his knees crossed, without avoiding the camera. Not to mention that they are both wearing white costumes, Li Jia's black and shiny big braid hangs in front of him, and he looks quite good in the camera.

"What are we talking about?" He Xin asked, looking up at the camera.

"You can talk about anything, shoot what you feel, Mr. He, you can do whatever you want. Xiao Chen hid behind the camera and said.

He Xin scratched his scalp, glanced back at the vast meadow behind him, and simply introduced the set here: "Gray Slope is an important main scene of our play. It's me, Xiaolan, and my brother...... And our cottage. This place is very beautiful, especially when the blue sky, white clouds, and sun make it feel like a paradise. In fact, in the play, the whole thing is also a feeling of paradise. But the weather here is very bad, it rains more than a dozen times a day, or even more than 20 times, light, moderate, heavy, and even downpours and hail...... So it caused us a lot of trouble, and we were always stopping and shooting during the shooting, and the shooting was stopped. It's been ten days, nearly twenty days, and I'm waiting for the weather, so sometimes I'm quite irritable......"

However, he couldn't help but gloat and smiled: "I think the producer and director should be under more pressure, so they are facing a serious overdue problem......

It's just halfway through, and his mood is inevitably a little depressed, after all, it's not a good thing for him to overdue. If you can't get it right, you have to get into it for the New Year.

"Today is a rare good weather, so everyone is in a very happy mood today. It feels like everyone's smile is kept very long-lasting. Weather matters!"

He looked up at the sun in the sky, but he muttered in his heart: It's a pity that he is idle in such a good weather.

"It's so rare!" Li Jia sat next to him and grinned silly, tilting his head in agreement.

"Well, it's very rare!" He Xin nodded in agreement.

At this time, Xiao Chen gestured to Li Jia and motioned for her to talk too.

"Ahem!"

Li Jia cleared his throat, faced the camera and then complained about the topic of weather: "I waited for two days, waiting for heavy fog and other heavy rain such as hail, waiting on the mountain, they worked on the mountain, and I waited at the bottom of the mountain......"

"Li Jia has been rated as a pacesetter in the fight against flies for several days. She didn't have anything to do at the bottom of the mountain, so she took a fly swatter everywhere ......" He Xin interjected with a smile, and also gestured to swatt flies.

He sighed again: "Everything is good here, except that there are too many flies." ”

Li Jia was also very happy to sit next to him.

Interviews like this kind of synchronous documentary are just random chats.

After talking nonsense for a long time, Xiao Chen felt that it was almost over, and said, "Teacher He, let's talk about the director!"

"Director?"

He Xin smashed his mouth, and wanted to say: Alas, it's really hard to say!

But documentaries, when the movie is released in the future, it will also be used as a means of publicity, so it is naturally necessary to make sycophants.

He scratched his scalp and muttered: "As an actor myself, I know that when you are filming, you will be very devoted." As a director, she may have to grasp the whole, the overall situation, and each actor, including...... Well, it's a non-thing, a non-performance thing, maybe she has to think about it as a whole, it should be a very tiring thing......"

"I didn't know the director before. ”

"The first time I saw her work was "The Joy Luck Club". In that film, although she played the rich lady Yingying was not the main character, she was very impressed. It feels like this guy is very sharp, you know, the very neurotic kind. In fact, this kind of role is difficult to grasp as an actor, but Mr. Yu plays it very well. ”

After seeing her in real person, the first feeling was that Yingying was completely opposite to the original Yingying in the Joy Luck Club, one hysterical and the other intellectual gentleness, which made people feel particularly incredible. Of course, there is basically no change in physiognomy, and it is still so beautiful!"

"I don't think there are many people who can be actors and directors at the same time, and even fewer women. I admire her for doing this, and whenever I see a thin body at the scene, wrapped in a scarf, pointing out in the middle of a group of big men, especially her movements are very beautiful, like doing Tai Chi...... Anyway, well, I admire her! And I hope she can do it really well, to achieve the kind of effect she wants......"

Just as He Xin was talking to the camera, Mr. Yu, who was wearing a light blue jacket in the wooden house, was sitting next to the wooden table in the center of the room, with a script spread out on the table, discussing the camera with Li Yaohui, and writing and drawing on it.

"Oh...... Okay, yes, it's okay if you bring it...... Because the camera is pushed to a big point!"

She said that she habitually made a graceful movement similar to a Tai Chi pusher.

"It's all right, right?"

The creators behind the scenes, who circled around the table, suddenly said in unison: "No problem, no problem." ”

"Okay, then we're ready to shoot. Hey, what about Mr. He?"

"Director, Mr. He is recording a documentary outside. ”

"Hey, this Xiao Chen is really, what kind of documentary is being recorded now, you go and inform me, don't record it yet, and the filming will start in a while." ”
