At Hawke's initiative, Chu Yiyan successfully got a ticket to the York Film Festival cocktail party.
"Xiao Ke really thank you so much, I will invite you to a big meal another day!" Chu Yiyan said with satisfaction when the two of them parted from the cafeteria at half past nine in the evening.
A few days later, Hawke re-entered the "Starheard Girl" crew to shoot his final cameo.
As a cameo character with three episodes, his exit scene still has a head and a face.
It's just not glamorous.
The character of Huo Tingsheng was written as a villain by the screenwriter, and he unexpectedly met the heroine Fei Yanran, and then took the initiative to date in order to kidnap and extort the daughter of this wealthy family.
Why? Because the play sets that Huo Tingsheng's father was also a black boxer when he was young, and then lost his family in a game due to the interference of capital forces.
And this capital force was officially the heroine of her mother's masterpiece.
After Fei Yanran was rescued and learned the truth, she realized that she didn't have the blood of a good person in her body, so she readmitted Qian Dongyu, one of the male protagonists.
"Because we're all the same people. ”
These three views, this plot, Hawke said that he was drunk.
If it weren't for liking the dramatic conflict and plot tension of this kidnapping scene, Hawke really wouldn't want to betray the villain's pot.
He feels that this role is quite much more than the three views of the male and female protagonists.
This week, in the crew, Hawke felt that Zhai Xuan's attitude towards himself had changed slightly.
A scene where Hawker was asked to strangle Zhai Xuan's neck and then drag her away was filmed quite smoothly.
For the first time, Zhai Xuan didn't ask Hawke for anything.
Hawke is naturally happy to see this situation, and he doesn't need to think much about the reason, anyway, he just needs to be comfortable filming.
On the day of the finale, the eldest brother Yang Xiao took the initiative to invite Hawke to eat barbecue.
With the addition of cumin and chili powder, the deliciousness of the lamb was indescribable, and Hawk felt that the ten skewers in front of him were simply not enough to eat.
"Congratulations to Nick for your first film being selected for the York International Film Festival. Yang Xiao picked up the shot glass and touched it with Hawke, "I was shocked when the scarf news came out this afternoon, I didn't expect the cameo role in our crew's silent filming to have such great ability." ”
The wine glass is not filled with wine, but actually sour plum juice, which is not bad with barbecue.
"Brother Xiao, you are exalting me too much, this time it is really lucky. Hawke replied modestly, after all, the big brother sitting opposite was also a frequent visitor to major film festivals when he was in the scenery.
"I still remember the first time I participated in the red carpet of the Huaxia Tianding Film Festival in 03, and that shocking scene is still unforgettable. Yang Xiao fell into a state of memory every day.
Huaxia Tianding, popularly speaking, is the Oscar of this world and the pinnacle of commercial film festivals.
Although the literary films of the European Federation have dominated the past ten years, Huaxia is the only giant in terms of commercial value.
was invited to participate as a TV star, which shows the momentum of Yang Xiao, who had just entered the film industry at that time.
In just three years, things are not people.
"The York Film Festival doesn't overemphasize the commercial factor, but you can't be sloppy in your preparation for the costume. Yang Xiao got down to business, "It's still a week before you walk the red carpet, Xiao Ke, are you ready?"
Hawke shook his head and said, "The company is still negotiating with the sponsor, and it hasn't been decided yet." ”
"Then you need to hurry. Out of commercial secrecy, it was inconvenient for Yang Xiao to ask which sponsors Hawke was.
Hawke made another large glass of sour plum soup.
In fact, when it comes to clothing sponsorship, Hawke still wants to complain about Dile.
As a person who has made great achievements in the TV industry and has many well-known actresses, Di Le has no experience in training male actors.
Since its establishment ten years ago, the company has never had a male star above the third line.
As a result, there was a red carpet show of an A-level film festival at Hawke's place, and Dile's was at a loss for a while - they had no experience working with relevant sponsors.
Suits or modern hanfu, watches, and jade pendants, which Chinese men must wear on formal occasions, were never touched by Dile, a high-end sponsor.
After two weeks, Di Le also borrowed accessories from a second-tier jeweler, [Jinyu Mantang].
The watch is estimated to be too late, and Hawk needs to get the suit problem done in the next few days.
After all, it is a film festival in Britain, and it is appropriate to wear a suit out of the consideration of following the local customs.
......
"Xiao Ke, take a look at these pieces. "Yang Tian, who has almost become Hawke's exclusive broker recently, brought a flat-panel display over," said [Xuanguang]'s 2005 autumn/winter ready-to-wear collection. ”
"I remember that [Xuanguang] is a Chinese brand that has emerged in recent years?" Huo Ke confirmed to Yang Tian, "They mainly make modern Hanfu, but I didn't expect there to be a suit." ”
"They want to explore the international market in the near future, and they have been trying in the suit area since two years ago. ”
Hawke looked at it carefully, to be honest, he could only see that these suits were of different colors in his eyes now, and he really didn't know how to appreciate the fabrics, cuts, etc.
[Xuanguang]'s modern Hanfu is not considered high-end customization in China, it can only be said to be a light luxury, and the suit is naturally not famous.
"How much are they offering?" asked Hawke the most crucial question.
Yang Tian frowned, not particularly happy and said, "Only sell, not rent, 30,000." ”
That's a bit of an exaggeration!
Hawke didn't see the difference between the suit and the five thousand in the store across from Dielle.
The key is that the Fall/Winter 2005 model is still the end of March, and in a few months the Fall/Winter 2006 model will be exhibited at Fashion Week.
"Is there any other choice, Brother Yang?"
Although there was little hope, Hawke was still not reconciled.
Yang Tian immediately opened another connection and said: "There is another one, which is a sponsor in France, a second-tier brand called [Louis Vuitton]. ”
What kind of world is this, Louis Vuitton has been reduced to the second line.
When Hawke was still confused, Yang Tian continued: "Dile and the other party have cooperated several times in the field of women's fashion, and Mr. Chu Yiyan wore their haute couture on the red carpet at a TV festival last year, and the company negotiated with the other party a few times after the other party agreed to lease you haute couture." ”
"How much does that cost?" According to the contract, this is a matter shared equally between Hawke and the company, so Hawke can't worry about it.
"It is also the autumn and winter model of 2005, and it is rented for 70,000 Chinese dollars a week. ”
70,000 a week, a bit ruthless.
Yang Tian looked at Hawke's somewhat painful face and said: "This is the only high-end brand that the company has contacted so far, and there are some other Chinese ready-to-wear series, but they are not famous. ”
This meaning translates to mean that even if you grit your teeth, you can't lose face on the red carpet for the first time.
"Okay, it's a little late today, let's get back to that side tomorrow morning. "Ask when they're going to have the tailor come and resize for me." ”
"This," Yang Tian hesitated for a while and said, "I'm afraid that their tailor won't be able to come, and the other party said that if we want to cooperate, we will go to Britain by ourselves, and they will let the tailor fly over." ”
Well, the most important thing to be a star is to find your own position.
Hawke comforted himself.
Early the next morning, Yang Tian took Hawke directly from the training room to the eighth floor.
His face was a little strange, and he looked at Hawke for a while before saying, "Early this morning, the company was invited by a sponsor, [Barclays] of Britain. ”
The brand Barclays is a complete replica of Burberry Earth.
Not top-notch, but also an absolute line.
"They said they would like to sponsor you on the red carpet and two outfits for the reception, provided you had to mention their names in media interviews. ”
Surprisingly, he and Barclays never had much in common.
As if seeing Hawke's doubts, Yang Tian explained: "Barclays has wanted to expand its business territory in recent years, and Huaxia is their focus, and you are lucky as the male star of Huaxia at this York Film Festival." ”
According to Hawke's understanding, there are only three Chinese male stars participating in this film festival plus himself, and the other two are directors.
Considering Barclays' audience and image, he seems to be the ideal person to advertise.
"The sponsored style is the Spring/Summer 2006 Haute Couture, which was really unexpected for us. Yang Tian added another sigh.
The problem that had plagued Hawke's team for two weeks was so easily solved that it felt unreal.
