At the age of thirty-six, thin, refreshing, with a soft voice, but inexplicably a little strong. It's not aggressive, it's not bravado, it's a kind of natural outflow, something very beautiful and atmospheric.

Her name is Yu Feihong, because she used to be a teacher at Nortel, she is generally called Teacher Yu.

She was introduced by Wang Xiaoshuai. Director Xiaoshuai was recruited to return to the system that year, and the first movie called "Dream Pastoral" was made, and she was the number one female in the film.

He Xin has seen this movie, and it can only be regarded as an average level among Wang Xiaoshuai's many works, and there is nothing brilliant about this teacher's performance.

In fact, his impression of Feihong comes more from the various photos he saw on the Internet in his previous life, touting what kind of frozen age goddess and the like. But to be honest, the authenticity of those layers of filters and various retouched photos on the Internet in later generations must be marked with a big question mark.

However, Teacher Yu, who appeared in front of him at this time, still surprised him a little.

Although she has disappeared from the big screen or small screen in recent years, He Xin has heard many legends about her. For example, he was born in a scholarly family, he went abroad, he broke into Hollywood, and there is an old man gang in the famous capital, and the group pet on the surface is Xu Jinglei, but it is her who is hidden behind the scenes.

At the beginning, Wang Xiaoshuai said on the phone that it was relatively simple, that is, Mr. Yu had a part that wanted to find him.

It's just that he didn't expect it......

"Are you directing?"

He looked in amazement at the beautiful woman in front of him in a slightly tight white shirt and denim cropped pants.

To be honest, there are a lot of actors who have invested in movies and become producers in recent years, but it is really rare to say that they are directors. is still an actress who wants to transform into a female director, except for Xu Jinglei, it is the first time he has heard of it.

Could it be that the women who are favored by the old men in the capital, whether they are on the surface or behind the scenes, have a heart to be "talented women", or do they show signs of being different from each other?

The profession of director requires the integration of various literature, aesthetics, art, and various technologies, and requires high professional requirements and professional quality.

In these years, the threshold for being a director is still very high. In later generations, the kind of cat and dog that can be a director, or have more than a dozen assistant directors under him, has not yet become popular.

As soon as He Xin's words came out, he knew that there were some abrupt beauties, and he was busy and apologetic: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I just feel a little surprised." ”

"It's okay, it's really my first time as a director. ”

Yu Feihong didn't mind at all, stroked his long silky hair, and then took out the script and a large number of storyboard scripts completed by himself from his bag, looked at him very sincerely, and said: "I have been preparing this movie for ten years, and I know that I don't have any film skills to show off, but this ghost story of people in the past and present lives, love and hate, moved me, and I wanted to shoot it honestly." I believe that only by moving creators can we move others. ”

He Xin didn't flip through the script, but first picked up the storyboard and opened it and looked at it, with his critical eyes, the painting was average, and it seemed that there was a faint taste of literary and artistic youth's hypocrisy.

Since last year, he has deliberately slowed down his work pace, on the one hand, because so far, the income of salary + stock market + property market has allowed him to initially achieve financial freedom, and there is no pressure of "being poor".

On the other hand, he wants to shoot some scenes that he wants to film, such as now that he is stretching his neck and waiting for the advent of "The Wind".

If it weren't for Wang Xiaoshuai's greeting, he would definitely refuse this teacher as soon as he came up. What "Love Has an Afterlife", he had never even heard of it in his previous life. Moreover, Mr. Yu's transformation from an actor to a director is still his debut, and he feels unreliable when he listens to it.

Yu Feihong may have been mentally prepared, knowing that his first directing was not convincing, and seeing that his reaction was indifferent, he started with the story, hoping to impress the other party through a beautiful and sad love story.

In her opinion, He Xin, who has acted in many literary films, should be a literary and artistic youth.

Literary and artistic youths are usually very emotional!

Yu Feihong is talking, He Xin is listening.

The person who speaks is full of feelings, and the person who listens is very serious.

Feeling full is really full of feelings, but listening carefully is a kind of etiquette seriousness.

This is a story in the late Qing Dynasty, there is a pair of brothers who are the leader of a gang of horse thieves, and the younger brother is called Ah Ming, who is the male protagonist. One day, he met a woman, Ah Jiu, and liked it in his heart, so he directly snatched back the stockade.

Ah Jiu seems to hate him very much, and he has been silent, even if the two get married, it has not improved. Ah Ming is not discouraged, he just wants to resolve the other party's resentment with sincerity.

After a year like this, Amin suddenly found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change the status quo. Disheartened, he chose to become a monk.

Ah Jiu followed inexplicably, lived in a dilapidated house outside the temple, and cooked tea for him every day. Another day. His brother was ambushed and fled to the temple, where he was seriously wounded and died. Immediately after, another group of horse thieves surrounded the temple, led by none other than Ah Jiu's brother.

The parents of the two siblings were killed by Amin's brother, and they endured humiliation for many years to avenge today. But Ah Jiu has fallen in love with Ah Ming, insists on seeking death, and promises: We will see you again in the next life.

Later, during the Republic of China, a couple moved here, and the wife was exactly what Ah Jiu looked like. And under the ginkgo tree in the temple, Ah Ming, who has become a ghost, has been waiting for fifty years......

He Xin roughly understood, if the hero of this story can be summarized in three sentences, it is:

He's a ghost.

He was a monk.

He waited for a woman for fifty years.

And this story is probably a Chinese version of "People and Ghosts".

After Yu Feihong made a long speech, he looked at him with big eyes.

He Xindu, who saw it, was embarrassed to look at her, it was the first time he had seen a thirty-six-year-old woman with the clear eyes of a sixteen-year-old girl. He even guessed that the other party had lived in a privileged environment since he was a child, and then he was cared for all the way to the present, carefree and without worries, and then he would have such great courage.

"Oh, you drink tea!"

"Thank you!"

Yu Feihong did say that his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the cup and drank it in small sips.

As she said, she has been preparing for this play for almost ten years. In the late 90s, she came up with the idea of adapting her favorite "Ginkgo Ginkgo" into a movie.

From asking someone to adapt it at the beginning, to being dissatisfied with the script, and then learning to write the script by myself, drawing storyboards, and then to directing skills and lens use, I pondered it little by little, and I didn't finish the draft until the end of the year before last.

Then she is looking for investment, even if she is a secret group pet in the Beijing circle, this real money is not so easy to find, and she is a little silly and sweet, she will not talk exaggerated, she will only tell stories to others and peddle feelings.

Anyone who knows the industry knows that the box office of a literary film like this will not be very good. Unless it is a big director like the national teacher and Director Chen, a fledgling female director like her really has no confidence.

Maybe she won't "give" yet, and it took more than a year to find the financier. But people don't want to pay more.

Since the director's weight is not enough, he can only find big-name stars.

It's very simple, if you want to shoot a play, in addition to looking at the feasibility of the script, the most important thing is to look at the coffee positions of the director and the actors, and see if they can carry the box office.

It's like Feng Xiaogang's first transformation, from making a joke movie to making the first real feature movie "No Thieves in the World", why did he use Andy Lau and milk tea? To put it bluntly, he is not confident enough in himself, and he must rely on big-name stars.

"No Thieves in the World" has a box office of over 100 million, he has proved himself, and he also boasts of being with the national teacher, Chen Dadao and called "the three major directors in Chinese mainland", and then filming "Assembly Number" with huge investment, he has enough confidence to support his little brother who has followed him for many years before and after the saddle.

Because he is confident enough, with his name as a trouser director, he can carry the box office. This is the same reason as the national teacher who launches a newcomer "Mou Girl" every once in a while.

Yu Feihong actually took a fancy to Duan Yihong at first, she felt that Lao Duan had a temperament that could take her into a scene. It's a pity that Lao Duan is not popular enough, and there are no works to prove that he can carry the box office of a movie.

Looking forward to the domestic actors, if you want to say that she has the kind of literary and artistic style she thinks, a suitable role, and is popular enough, and even has overseas box office appeal, and enough to be recognized by the management, there is probably only one He Xin.

It may be that she has encountered too many walls before, and I don't know where she heard it, saying that He Xin is a difficult person. She was rarely smart, and she didn't come to the door directly, but through the introduction of Wang Xiaoshuai, who had cooperated before, she really did it in front of this double gold actor today.

To be honest, she was in a very nervous mood at this time, and her eyes were full of anticipation when she looked at each other.

After a while, I saw He Xin patting the script on the table, and said very sincerely: "The theme of the story is quite novel, it should be a good story." Let me read the script and think about it, what do you think?"

"No problem!" Yu Feihong stroked his hair and smiled.

For her, as long as the other party does not refuse, this is already good news.

Then, she asked tentatively, "Then when is it more convenient for us to talk next time?"

He Xin didn't expect her to be so impatient, and after being stunned for a moment, he smiled dumbly and said, "Next week, which day will you see convenient?"

"I'm convenient all day. ”

"Well, let's be Monday then. ”
