38. Chapter 38
After resting at home for a few days, the movie "Delicious Love" is about to start. Shengtian Entertainment is the largest funder of this film, Liu Xin is the heroine of this movie, and the director is the new director Jiang Hua.
In recent years, the development of the film market has been in full swing, and a large number of filmmakers, directors, producers, actors, etc. have emerged. Among these people, there are several directors whose development is more dazzling and praised by the industry, among which Director Jiang Hua is the top three among these people, and he is a shrewd person who knows how to skillfully integrate business and literature and art. He has made four or five films in the past few years, and the box office and reputation are good, two of which also won awards and won the new Best Director Award.
The first director to be invited for the movie "Delicious Love" was not Jiang Hua, but another new director, after the plan was sent to Leng Lie to see it, Leng Lie temporarily decided to change Jiang Hua.
After hearing Leng Lie's decision, Assistant Peter asked curiously, "The director who was decided before is not worse than Director Jiang Hua?" โ
Leng Lie put down the pen in his hand, closed the signed text and handed it to Peter, and said: "Liu Xin wants to act in this play, Director Jiang Hua only won the award recently, it is the hot time, let him shoot this play, it just happens to help Liu Xin." โ
Peter immediately understood what his boss meant, this was clearly to take care of Liu Xin and pave the way for her. With an award-winning director filming this drama, it is natural that the drama will go up, and Liu Xin, as the heroine of this drama, will definitely get a lot of gains, which is also a great improvement for her. His own boss really thought through all aspects.
Although it was temporarily decided to let director Jiang Hua make this film, after reading the script, he was attracted by the story of the script, and the quality of the script itself is very good, he attaches great importance to this movie. The day before the start of filming, he took the initiative to call and invite all the main creators to meet in advance and have a meeting on the whole drama first.
The night before, Liu Xin read the script at home, and asked Leng Lie to accompany her to play, don't look at Leng Lie's run Shengtian Entertainment well, he really can't take the script to him and let him act, Liu Xin looked at his one-by-one movements and laughed so much that his stomach hurt, "President Leng, your acting skills are really bad." โ
"I can't act, just the actors under my company can act." Leng Lie threw away the script in his hand, reached out and grabbed Liu Xin, pressed it on his leg, and slapped his ass twice.
"Went around me, around me......" Liu Xin was beaten, he didn't dare to make fun of Leng Lie anymore, and obediently took the script to the side to memorize the lines carefully.
At this time, the phone rang, it was Liu Xin's mobile phone, Leng Lie glanced at the name that jumped on the mobile phone screen, and took the mobile phone to Liu Xin, "Director Jiang." โ
Liu Xin picked up the phone, "Hello, Director Jiang." โ
Director Jiang Hua got straight to the point and said: "Liu Xin, let's meet at the Hilton Hotel at ten o'clock tomorrow morning......
So, Liu Xin arrived at the Hilton Hotel on time the next day for a meeting.
Previously, the film had been in the stage of secrecy, Liu Xin didn't know who the male protagonist was, and at this meeting, she met the male protagonist of this movie.
She was overjoyed when she met Chu Xuan outside the conference room, she didn't expect that the actor of this movie would be Chu Xuan beforehand.
"The actor turned out to be you!"
Chu Xuan was wearing a set of black and white casual clothes, her figure was tall, her peach blossom eyes reflected her appearance, and she smiled charmingly, "Then who do you think it will be?" โ
It's not that Liu Xin hasn't thought about this question, there are a few popular students who have good acting skills, but Chu Xuan really hasn't been among the people she has considered. Why do you say that, just because Chu Xuan has always focused on TV series, and he has also participated in two or three movies in the past two years, but he is not the one who takes the lead. This movie wants a very key actor, and it is normal that Chu Xuan is not in Liu Xin's consideration.
However, Liu Xin thought about it and felt that Chu Xuan's acting was also very good, Chu Xuan has accumulated a lot of popularity in TV series in recent years, has a good audience, a huge fan base, and the appeal and influence are obvious to all, so that he can be the leading actor at the box office, at least much more reliable than her as the heroine.
Liu Xin was still self-aware, she smiled and stretched out her hand and shook it with Chu Xuan, "Happy cooperation." โ
Chu Xuan smiled, "Happy cooperation." โ
This is Liu Xin's first time as the heroine, and she is also the heroine of the movie, although "Delicious Love" is just a commercial romance film, Liu Xin still spent a lot of effort to do his homework, and according to Director Jiang Hua's requirements to learn about various foods, and specially went to sign up for a fifteen-day food crash course.
China is an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years, and its food culture and cooking skills are part of its civilization history. It is the crystallization of China's splendid culture. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 10,000 kinds of dishes in the country. The famous Qing court banquet dish "Manchu and Han full banquet", there are more than 120 kinds of hot and cold dishes on this table alone. The Chinese food culture represented by this kind of cuisine shows a gorgeous and magnificent "โกโก" and "emperor" mentality, showing the general characteristics of traditional Chinese culture.
Chinese cuisine is famous for its bright color, fragrant, fresh taste and beautiful shape. The names of Chinese dishes are also distinctive, rich in traditional Chinese culture, giving people a good aftertaste. Such as the dragon playing with pearls, the white snow in spring, the silver pearl peony, the gold and jade around the cui, the jade hand picking the peach, the palace gate offering fish, etc., variety, everything, full of poetry and picturesqueness. China is a vast country that has developed over thousands of years. A broad and profound "food culture" has been formed. There are eight famous cuisines such as Sichuan, Guangdong, Suzhou, Hunan, Fujian, Hui, Zhejiang, and Shandong.
Liu Xin, as the heroine, has a heavy role and many lines this time, in order to act in this movie well, 24 hours a day, Liu Xin has more than ten hours on the set, and there is not enough time to rest.
When Liu Xin was busy filming and receiving advertisements on the show, Leng Lie was also busy, working too much and flying abroad several times in a row, and he was about to become a trapeze. For nearly a month, the two had no chance to meet each other, so they could only contact each other by phone.
Sometimes Liu Xin called Leng Lie in between filming, and Leng Lie happened to be in a meeting again. When Leng Lie calls after the meeting, Liu Xin is already filming or doing a show, and there will be a situation where he can't receive a call.
At night, Liu Xin returned to the hotel room after filming, turned on the TV casually, it happened to be a music program, she didn't pay attention, she was looking for clothes to take a shower, and she heard an elegant and ethereal singing voice coming from the TV.
Missing is a very mysterious thing
Wherever you go
Silent and breathless, haunting the bottom of my heart
In the blink of an eye, engulf me in the silence
I couldn't resist, especially at night
I miss you to the point where I can't breathe
I can't go straight to you
โฆโฆ
This is Faye Wong's "I Do".
Liu Xin stopped the movements in his hand until the whole song was finished, Liu Xin's posture of holding his clothes did not change, and he was immersed in the singing for a long time.
The mobile phone on the bedside table rang for a long time before Liu Xin heard it, and hurriedly put down the clothes in his hand, walked over and picked up the mobile phone to answer.
Leng Lie's somewhat worried voice came from the phone, "Why did it take so long to answer the phone?" โ
"I was just about to take a shower and didn't hear my phone ring." Liu Xin sat at the head of the bed with his mobile phone and turned down the volume of the TV with the TV remote control.
"It's fine if you're okay." Leng Lie on the other side was a little relieved, the phone had not been able to get through before, and his whole heart was hanging, for fear that something would happen to Liu Xin.
Knowing that this Leng Lie cared about her, Liu Xin said with a smile: "What can I do, everyone in the crew is very good, get along very well, Sister Ning also comes to see me every day, and there are two assistants to take care of me, I am very good, but these days you are in a meeting in the UK, the weather over there is not very good, you have to pay attention to your body, don't be too tired." โ
Listening to Liu Xin's concern for himself, Leng Lie didn't mention how happy he was, and the voice that came from the phone was full of joy, "Xinxin, I miss you, I miss you very much." โ
The TV has been replaced by other people's songs, Liu Xin looked at the subtitles on the TV, he knew every word, but it was gradually blurred, listening to the cold and low and beautiful voice in the mobile phone, and his mind became the word "miss you".
Liu Xin: "I miss you too......"
Because the two of them were busy and missed each other, but they couldn't meet, Leng Lie finally summed up a plan that was easy to contact.
Leng Lie would send Liu Xin a WeChat message after work, usually telling her what he was doing or what he had done, occasionally sharing his feelings and talking about things at work, of course, the final ending was "love your wife" or "miss your wife".
Liu Xin could see his WeChat after filming, and then replied to him one by one, and Liu Xin was full of joy and finished reading his meaty ending words with a smile on the corner of his mouth. However, she is not as cheeky as Leng Lie, and naturally she is embarrassed to say anything like "love your husband" to Leng Lie.
The filming time is always uncertain, and sometimes Liu Xin will not reply to the WeChat sent by Leng Lie until a long time later.
Once Liu Xin finished filming, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, and Leng Lie happened to be in the United States at that time, Liu Xin saw that the time was just right, so he called Leng Lie back.
Receiving a call from Liu Xin at this point in time surprised Leng Lie, "Why do you call me now?" โ
Liu Xin yawned and said: "I just returned to the hotel after filming, and I saw the WeChat you sent me, I saw that the time was just right, so I called you." โ
As soon as she heard that she didn't finish filming until she finished filming, Leng Lie was very distressed, "It should be night over there, you better go to bed early, I will be very worried if I burn my body." โ
Liu Xin listened to his voice and felt that the fatigue of staying up all night had been reduced a lot, "I'm not very sleepy now, let's talk a little longer." โ
"Let's talk a little longer, then." The two of them haven't had a chance to meet these days, and Leng Lie also wants to listen to her voice more, so that he feels like she is still by his side, imagining her appearance and feeling the familiar smell of her body.
Liu Xin lay on the bed and said to Leng Lie, "...... Today is the meal cooked by the CoCo sister of the crew, it is delicious, and the craftsmanship is better than the craftsmanship of the chef of the restaurant next to us who often eats. โ
Leng Lie smiled and said, "Then your crew should give Sister CoCo a salary increase." โ
Liu Xin yawned again on the bed and muttered, "The crew's funds are limited." โ
"Is this complaining to me that there is too little investment?" Leng Lie chuckled lightly and deliberately teased her, "I remember that I invested 30 million in this movie. โ
Liu Xin sat up from the bed, "No, I just said it casually." โ
Leng Lie was in a particularly good mood, and said softly, "I know." โ
It was late at night, Liu Xin kept talking to Leng Lie, and before she knew it, an hour had passed, Liu Xin yawned again, tears flowed out, and she really couldn't hold it anymore.
"Xinxin, I miss you."
"I miss you too......" Liu Xin finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep on the bed.
