"Marco Muller, the Asian filmmaker of the Venice Film Festival, Ah Xin, so our film has a chance to be shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival!" As soon as He Xin said Marco Muller's name, Ning Hao exclaimed on the phone.

Well, this thing is more knowledgeable than he is.

"It can only be said that there is hope, but the film still needs to be seen by Mr. Müller, and if he feels bad, then we will have no joy. He Xin still took a preventive shot in advance, so as not to overjoy.

"Of course, I'm looking for someone to help with the sound effects, but the picture color grading is a big problem, and I can't find anyone in China at all! I inquired, if it is sent to Japan or South Korea to do it, the price is too expensive, and the cheapest one has to be less than 200,000 yuan!"

"So expensive?"

Although he was mentally prepared, He Xin still chuckled in his heart when he heard this price.

Ning Hao then explained: "The toners who do tinting over there are divided into grades, and good toners offer five or six hundred thousand yuan. ”

He Xin knew that he transferred 100,000 yuan to Ning Hao last time, plus the 50,000 Hong Kong dollars he won the gold medal in the Asian DV Film Competition Unit of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, which is estimated to be only enough for the cost of transferring the glue and redoing the sound effects, and the color grading is a big head.

However, thinking of the last time Chief Jia's "Ren Yao" spent 100,000 euros in Europe for color tape transfer, he had to bite the bullet and said: "In this way, I'll ask Director Guan about it when I go back, last time I heard that Hong Kong also does color grading, and I don't know if the price over there can be cheaper." ”

Speaking of this, he remembered, almost forgot about business, and hurriedly said: "Oh yes, when you go to the film festival and sell films in the future, you need to have a production company, I plan to set up a film company in Hong Kong in the name of the two of us, what do you think?"

"Cheng, you come to be the boss!"

"Don't mind, it's still as I said before, and we'll be half of each other. ”

"This can't be done, you have the lion's share! Besides, this film still has to be colored, and I can't afford it. Ning Hao said a little embarrassed.

"That'...... Okay, let's divide it into six or four for the time being. He Xin groaned.

The whole thing about starting a company is to be able to sell this film, but to be honest, He Xin feels a little difficult to ride a tiger at this time.

When I took this film, on the one hand, it was because it was good to read the book, and on the other hand, it was also because of Ning Hao's stubbornness. Although it was said that half of the future income of this film would be used as a salary, a contract was signed for this. But to be honest, He Xin actually didn't take it seriously, of course it was best to make money, even if the film couldn't be sold in the future, it didn't matter, it could be regarded as a play addiction to playing a non-mainstream monk for a while.

But since Ning Hao's film won the award, he suddenly found that he had unconsciously fallen into it step by step, he had already paid 100,000 yuan before, and then there was color grading, not to mention more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, which means that he not only acted in this drama in vain, but also had to pay out of his own pocket. If calculated according to his current film salary of 700,000 yuan, the outside here is almost 1 million smaller, which is enough to buy two houses in the capital.

But the money had already been paid, and now that there was such a good opportunity in front of him, what else could he do? He could only stubbornly continue to fill in! Therefore, he said that it was polite to account for sixty percent.

Sure enough, Ning Hao was still a little reluctant on the phone and said, "Let's follow the seven-three, you seven-me-three." ”

"Okay, don't grind, let's wait for the film to sell, if it can't be sold, it's useless to say anything. Okay, anyway, hurry up over there, I'll inquire here. That's it, I'm on the set right now, hang up!"

After hanging up the phone, he saw that Guan Jinpeng was still staring at the monitor and was busy, and he didn't want to disturb him, so he had to go downstairs to find Zhang Shuping, and grabbed him to secretly poke and poke and tell him about himself, Zhang Shuping was very enthusiastic and promised to help him inquire.

After dinner, after a short rest, she continued to shoot, maybe after laughing or taking a nap, Li Jiaxin obviously relaxed a lot, whether it was her expression or her body was no longer as tight as before, she actually took two shots. This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

He Xin has already changed his clothes, and in this play his outfit is a permanent suspender, and then paired with various styles of shirts or sweaters, today it is a white shirt.

Taking advantage of the interval of filming, He Xin went to the dressing room to talk to Li Jiaxin about the lines of the next scene according to the old rules. I have to say that although Li Meiren has been tired from filming in the afternoon to now, she is still quite dedicated, she will not say that she wants to rest, and her lines are wrong, she still meticulously looks at the lines, and tries her best to correct her inaccurate Mandarin pronunciation.

Maybe beautiful women can especially win the sympathy and pity of men, and He Xin is certainly no exception. He is quite sympathetic to Li Meiren, for example, he had just finished filming the rivalry with Hu Jun in France, and he was going to switch to the rival scene with him in Shanghai in the next scene, which was really hard in terms of the emotional turn of the characters.

In fact, after a few days of cooperation, He Xin has roughly understood why Li Meiren has an amazing performance in "Sometimes Dancing", but her performance in "Painting Soul" is unsatisfactory.

The problem is still in her appearance and temperament, Li Damei's temperament belongs to the kind of cold and noble type, with her slightly low voice, a little tough, and a little mysterious, plus her mixed-race facial features, the keywords of small jasper, virtuous and virtuous, ignorant and cute have nothing to do with her.

In "Sometimes Dancing", she plays a strong woman in the American banking industry, similar to this kind of woman with a mysterious identity, a cold style, and a complex heart, which originally matched her own temperament.

may have taken a fancy to her innate cold but not arrogant, glamorous but vulgar temperament, which is quite similar to Pan Yuliang's strength and self-reliance.

And the reason why Li Jiaxin worked so hard, and even pushed down an advertisement worth millions in order to shoot this drama, in the final analysis, is nothing more than to break the label of the "vase" that has been attached to her for more than ten years.

Just like Zhang Yanyu was also called a "vase" when she debuted, a "Ruan Lingyu" directed by Guan Jinpeng not only allowed Zhang Yanyu to successfully get rid of the label of "vase", but also embarked on the bright road of the actress.

Just as Li Meiren replied in the face of the questions raised by reporters during the interview at the beginning of "Painting Soul": "Vase? This is just someone else's opinion, I won't be unhappy about it, but I will work harder to do my role well, and prove to everyone that I am a real actor, isn't it better?"

Say something with certainty!

It's a pity that she still lacks Zhang Yanyu's aura and acting skills.

And this is not a movie, if it is a movie, her beauty can add color to the characters, just to make up for the lack of acting skills. But this is a long-form drama, Pan Yuliang has three rich life journeys, and she is always surrounded by two men who love her deeply, which require strong emotions and strong emotional changes from the actors.

And Li Meiren's performance is often hollow eyes, stiff body, and blind complaint, which is tantamount to giving up her best clean and bright smile, and exposing all her shortcomings.

Of course, Li Meiren's beauty is undoubted, because of the relationship between mixed-race children, her facial features are more European, not the traditional Chinese cherry mouth peach cheeks, her eyebrows are thick and thick, her eyes are round and big, her lips are plump, her nose is especially high, and her front and side faces are very perfect, just like the lines of ancient Greek statues, looking at it makes people feel noble and elegant, and the atmosphere is calm, which creates her cold but not arrogant, glamorous and vulgar temperament.

The hardware is flawless, but the only thing she lacks is the software of aura and charm.

Appearance is a tangible thing, but aura and charm are intangible.

Reiki is not enough, because Reiki is not entirely about acting, but more of a unique charm of the actor himself. For example, Zhou Xun, she is a typical god-level player with full aura, which is enough to make people forget her disadvantage of a collapsed nose, flat chest, and small short legs.

Of course, the so-called charm is not the charm of the fox, but the unique softness, coquettishness and brightness of women.

For example, among many Hong Kong female stars, almost all of them are not as beautiful as Li Damei, but they have their own charm. Zhao Yaju's dignified and virtuous lady is a kind of charm, Li Lizhen's innocent temptation is a kind of charm, Xu Wanxuan's innocent and innocent sex appeal is also a kind of charm, not to mention Qingxia's heroic spirit, red mushroom's bright eyes, and Qiu Xiaomada's playful and cute...... It's all different forms of flattery.

As soon as a woman has a charming attitude, three or four points of beauty can be worth six or seven points. Having a charming state can add points to the appearance, and no charming state can subtract points to the appearance.

Li Damei belongs to the latter type, but the charm can be played, such as Lao Wang in "A Chinese Ghost Story". It should be said that Lao Wang's appearance and figure are very similar to Li Damei, they are all the kind of beauties with tall and big skeletons. Therefore, when Lao Wang played Xiaoqian, he paid special attention to softening his body and his eyes were smart, so as to reflect the feminine feeling of a woman.

But Li Meiren's performance in this drama often has empty eyes, extremely restrained body language, and she feels either nervous or cringe, just like why the previous rivalry with Hu Jun was NG countless times, the problem is here, and then people relaxed, and naturally passed.

It is estimated that Guan Jinpeng has already seen this at this time, and often shouts to Li Jiaxin on the set to let her relax, but sometimes the more she shouts, the more nervous she becomes, and her body is tighter.

And the performance of the eyes is the most deadly. is like Yang Tianbao, Liu Shishi, and Nazha in later generations, their eyes are flickering, they will never focus on the light, they look like blind girls, they have neither acting skills nor aura!

The rivalry between the two in the evening is a sad scene in which Pan Yuliang is going to France, and Tian Shouxin, played by He Xin, goes to say goodbye to his sweetheart and begs for a hug but is rejected.

Guan Jinpeng is a director who pays attention to artistic conception, and the wall lamps and table lamps in the bedroom and small living room on the second floor exude a soft orange light, which makes the room particularly gentle and ambiguous.

And the colors of the actors' costumes are also very coordinated, for example, when Li Jiaxin wore a light gray spotted cheongsam before, He Xin wore a blue and white shirt with thick lines and fine checks, and today He Xin's white shirt is matched with Li Jiaxin's light-colored cheongsam with blue and white porcelain patterns.

Everything is ready to go.

“Ready！”

“Action！”

Li Jiaxin brought a cup of coffee to He Xin and said with a smile: "I want to tidy things up first." ”

He Xin licked the dog's possession in an instant, and hurriedly said, "Let's see, what can I do to help." ”

In this drama, he played Tian Shouxin's lifelong love Pan Yuliang, although Pan Yuliang was later moved by his true feelings and fell in love with him, but Pan Yuliang always thought that he was Pan Zanhua's woman, so the love between the two was a platonic spiritual love, and they never crossed the thunder pool.

To put it bluntly, it is the relationship between licking the dog and the goddess, and He Xin is no stranger to this, and he doesn't even have to treat Li Jiaxin as his girlfriend. Because he was also impressed by Li Jiaxin's beauty, but he knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to get it, and he couldn't control this kind of woman, as long as he showed his love for the beauty in his heart, and revealed his true feelings, this character was not difficult for him at all.

"No need, you can sit!" Li Jiaxin nodded to him with a smile, turned around and walked to the inner room to pack his luggage.

He Xin's eyes always looked at her back with a smile, and then followed, walked to the door, and said without words: "The classmates all said that they were reluctant to give you up!"

"I didn't even have time to say goodbye to them. Li Jiaxin said regretfully while packing her luggage.

"They also said they were going to have a party, a dinner or something. Besides, they say, whoever goes to France in the future will have to find you, a pioneer, to lead the way, ah!"

"Of course!" Li Jiaxin smiled, and then said in a deep voice: "We'll make an appointment for dinner." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the room with books and sketches, walked to a suitcase in front of the camera, and put his things in the box.

At this time, it was a close-up scene, the two of them were one after the other, He Xin's eyes followed her back, moved his lips, and stopped talking, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "Yuliang, if I leave, will you eat this meal?"

Li Jiaxin's movements were obviously stagnant, and she hesitated a little before saying, "Yes." ”

This was a signal of encouragement, and He Xin, who was encouraged, paced to her side and said in a gentle tone: "There are indeed many things worth remembering when you leave a place. ”

Li Jiaxin pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Keep your word, this should be my feeling, how did it become your business?"

He Xin's expression became excited, he stretched out his hand to support her back, and said, "Be careful on the road, you know?"

In fact, when his hand just touched Li Jiaxin's back, he felt her body suddenly tighten, and then saw her habitual eyes drifting and said, "I know." ”

At this moment, He Xin knew that it was going to be bad, and sure enough, he heard Lao Guan shouting: "Cut!"

"Michelle, don't let your eyes drift, you have to show a little embarrassment and a little helplessness, OK?"

"Uh, OK!" Li Jiaxin hesitated for a moment before responding.

"Also, you actually understand his intentions, you want to refuse, but you don't want to lose this good friend...... In short, these are two levels of change, and they must be shown clearly!"

“......”

Li Jiaxin blinked her eyes wide, looked confused, and thought for a while before she reluctantly nodded and said, "Director, I'll try!"

So the afternoon scene came again:

“Cut！”

"Michelle, I don't want this, do it again!"

......

“Cut！”

"Michelle, don't let your eyes drift, there must be a change......"

......

“Cut！”

"Michelle, it's still not right, the two levels of change I said, don't be dull, especially don't have empty eyes, have content, OK?"

“......”

After four or five NG in a row, seeing Li Damei's bitter look, He Xin finally couldn't bear to say: "Director, why don't you take a break?"

Guan Jinpeng looked at Li Jiaxin's face, and had to nod and say, "Okay, rest for ten minutes." ”

said, took off the headphones, picked up the script, simply walked in front of Li Jiaxin, and personally helped her analyze the characters and said, "Michelle, look, what I said about your expression at this time should be...... You have to express the emotions of the characters through their eyes...... These are two levels of change, there must be a change, OK?"

He Xin, who was originally a bystander, heard Lao Guan's chatter and repeated emphasis, but Li Damei still looked very innocent, he really couldn't stand it, so he simply slipped to the balcony and lit a cigarette. Looking up, there is often the bright moonlight in the sky, and I sigh secretly, I can't figure it out today and estimate that it will be early in the morning again.

When he finished smoking, he flicked his hand, and the cigarette butt drew a long arc in the night sky with a small red dot, and when he turned around and was about to go in, he saw Li Meiren coming out of it with a depressed face.

"Ah Xin, if you have a cigarette, give me one. ”

"Sister Jiaxin, you smoke too!" said the guy in surprise.

He had never seen the beautiful woman in front of him smoke, but he immediately took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed her one, and then diligently lit it for her.

It can be seen that Li Damei is quite experienced in both the posture of holding a cigarette and the action of smoking, but her face is frowning.

"Sister Jiaxin, what's wrong, is it difficult for the director just now?"

"Hmm. ”

Li Damei nodded very frankly, but she still looked sad, and explained specifically: "I know how the director wants me to express it, but I don't know how to do it, and I feel that it is wrong to act." And those two levels, I ......"

"Hey, you don't care what the director says, you can just come. ”

He Xin looked amused and said, "You just treat me as your suitor, just react normally." ”

"Huh?" said Li Dameiren stunned.

"You don't like me, do you? But I'm pestering you, and you're embarrassed to tear your face, just be a little vague when you speak your lines. Oh yes, don't be so nervous all the time, your eyes are flexible, don't dodge, look at people when you should be generous, try to relax your body, don't always be so straight, just like ...... Oh, just like the first time we met, you stood crookedly against the wall in the dressing room, and I thought it was so beautiful when I looked at it!" the creature smiled.

"When we first met...... Standing crookedly against the wall......" Li Damei recalled carefully, but her expression was extremely skeptical, but there was no other better way, so she had to say: "Uh, okay, I'll try." ”

Yuliang decided to go to France and never come back, and He Xin, the licking dog who had been deeply in love with her, was suddenly anxious, but Yuliang was very honest with him.

In the picture, He Xin chased to the door with an anxious face, and saw Li Jiaxin turn around and walk towards him, at first Li Meiren's eyes had to be habitually fluttering, but thinking of what He Xin just said, be flexible, don't dodge, and be generous when looking at people, so I simply looked at He Xin's eyes that flashed with anxious looks, and said frankly: "Keep promises, I will miss the past days, but not nostalgia." The most important person in my life has left me, and I will look back...... Why?"

I saw Li Meiren keep looking into his eyes, walked in front of him, her body was very relaxed and elegantly leaned lightly against the door frame, especially when she said "I'll turn back", her head lowered slightly, and her words paused for a moment, and then she looked up at He Xin's eyes, as if asking herself, and as if asking the other party "Why?"

“Perfect！”

Guan Jinpeng, who was staring at the monitor screen, was full of surprise, He Xin's performance was like Hu Jun's performance in the afternoon, he didn't have any worries at all, but the heroine he personally selected seemed to have just opened his mind, yes, this was the Pan Yuliang he wanted!

He Xin looked at her stupidly at this time, his Adam's apple squirmed, and he obviously swallowed his saliva, and saw him swallow and say, "Yuliang, can I hug you?"

Li Jiaxin was obviously stunned, but when she saw He Xin's infatuated look, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she said with a smile: "Thank you for keeping your word." ”

Then the smile began to slowly converge, revealing a trace of regret and helplessness: "But I have brought you too many regrets!"

He Xin blinked, his eyes were full of pain and loss, and the nature of licking the dog made him not dare to do anything against the will of the goddess, so he had to nod stupidly.

But Li Jiaxin always looked at him, her eyes helpless and then a little pity......

“Cut！”

“Perfect！”

Then I saw that Guan Jinpeng had already stood up from behind the monitor, raised his hands and raised his arms and shouted.
