Chapter 189: He Mu's Bottom Line (3/3)
After filming the MV, Zhang Zilin has to go out for a while, so He Mu cherishes every minute the two are together now, and he also deliberately "wandered" to the courtyard house where Zilin used them to shoot the MV during this filming, and saw her from a distance, followed by several female models from the same company.
Seeing that it was not very convenient to seduce Zilin out, He Mu said hello to her from afar and left, and then wandered around this alley area. Some of the courtyard houses here are private houses, some are exclusively for tourists, and you can also see rickshaws on the road.
He Mu walked all the way and saw a lot of film crews filming MVs, including Yuquan and Li Yuchun and other acquaintances, and even saw the small house Fang Zuming, they were father and son together, I heard him say that Brother Chenglong also participated in this song, and now he is filming MV on the Badaling Great Wall.
walked around and returned to the courtyard where the crew was located, He Mu also entered the wrong door, because there was also a courtyard next to them, and the gate looked similar, He Mu apologized and left immediately after finding out that he had entered the wrong place, and just about to quit and found that the owner of this courtyard was also from the entertainment industry.
"Hello Mr. Yu Peng, this is your home?" He Mu asked in surprise.
Yu Peng is a young actor in the mainland, graduated from Beiying, and has starred in popular TV series such as "Water Moon Cave Sky", "Legend of the Spiritual Realm", "Xiao Shiyi Lang", and previously worked in Diaoyutai, He Mu watched a lot of his TV series in high school.
"Well, don't call me teacher, I'm only in my early thirties, and I feel old when you call me that," Yu Peng smiled. "You guys are filming next door, I heard movement in the morning, do you want to come in and sit down." is also an insider. He Mu thought he knew.
Although he has been hovering around the second line, especially in recent years, his reputation has been low, and the response to several works has not been great, but the tall and handsome Yu Pine's bearing is extraordinary, and living in such an antique courtyard house is even more bookish, which makes people feel very good, He Mu was also very obsessed with "Water Moon Cave Sky" when he was in high school. Among them, Tong Bo played by Yu Peng has won the love of almost all audiences.
"Oh, thanks, but the crew should be waiting for me. I'll go check it out first, I'll come here more often in the future, and I will have time to disturb you when the time comes. Just don't bother me. He Mu replied.
Back to the courtyard next door. It was He Mu's turn to play, and He Mu immediately entered the play after a little makeup.
This set of courtyard houses is the house of the protagonist Zhuang Han's family, during the Cultural Revolution, not only did the grandfather's treasure have nothing left, but even this set of courtyards was also political. The government took it back, and now that the reform and opening up has been going on for many years, the policy has changed, and the house that has been abandoned for a long time is expected to be returned to him. Zhuang Han came here to deal with some related matters and reminisce about his childhood in this courtyard. After moving in with his mother, he will dig up the catalog of antiques and treasures buried by his grandfather here, and recovering these grandfather's treasures as much as possible has become one of Zhuang Han's goals.
After filming, it was a little dark, and He Mu was inconvenient to disturb Yu Peng next door, so he left first, and the crew would come to Beijing to film here in the future.
Entering April, "Chang'an Chaos" landed on the video website after the broadcast on Dragon TV, its influence was really highlighted, network clicks broke records one after another, He Mu's performance and the style of the whole drama were warmly sought after by netizens, He Mu's fan team is also further growing, of course, at the same time, there are many people who are unhappy with him, they gather at the pork prince bar to raise the "Hei Mu" cause, but the more fierce they are, the more popular He Mu is, which makes Mu Hei quite helpless.
He Mu has a lot of friends, except for Yu Peng, who just met and lives in a courtyard and is a bit of a legacy of the ancients, sometimes at night he will accompany Zhang Zhen, who has recently been in the capital, to practice boxing and beat him up, Zhang Zhen is cool, he is also happy.
This night, after He Mu finished filming, after drinking a cup of tea at Yu Peng's house, he hurried to Chen Sicheng's invitation, anyway, now Zilin is not in Beijing, he goes home to read books and watch movies, he is very bored, of course someone invites him to drink.
According to Chen Sicheng's prompt, He Mu came to the bar, and as soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong, why were all men sitting with men, and hooking up and behaving ambiguously.
Although He Mu wrapped himself very tightly and the bar was dimly lit, Chen Sicheng, who was sitting on the sofa inside, still recognized He Mu at a glance, "What about this!" Chen Sicheng waved at him.
He Mu had almost guessed what this place was, he was very worried, looking at Chen Sicheng who was looking at him with a smile, He Mu said very seriously: "Brother Sicheng, your girlfriend is not bad to you, I am also a master person, how bad is this." ”
Chen Sicheng is very kinky. Dang smiled and said: "I know that you will have this kind of thought, am I that kind of person, I haven't played enough with women, I can play with men!" I'm here just to experience life, and by the way, I know that you like to experience life the most, and this is a good place. ”
That's right, this is the famous gay bar in Beijing, a great place to believe in "like-sex attraction".
"You still know me." Hearing Chen Sicheng say this, He Mu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed, it really frightened him, since it is to experience life, then there is no problem, he especially likes to contact all kinds of people, and understand their behavior and psychology, which is also very beneficial to his performance, although he is not very eager to play a comrade, but this experience is interesting.
"Why did you suddenly want to come here and experience life?" He Mu asked with a sip of beer, and then pretended to look around casually.
Chen Sicheng knew that He Mu would ask like this, he was waiting for him here, "I took a play, which is to play homosexuals, so naturally I want to come and see their living conditions." ”
He Mu was taken aback, this Chen Sicheng was bold enough, he dared to take this kind of scene, and he couldn't participate in "The Leader" probably because of this movie, he asked casually, "Hong Kong, right?" ”
It is impossible for the mainland to allow this kind of theme to appear, Chinese movies can only appear in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, Liu Ye won the Golden Horse actor with Hong Kong director Kwan Jinpeng's gay film "Lan Yu", at that time he had not graduated from college, he became famous as a teenager, the scenery was unlimited, and the star journey was also open.
Chen Sicheng shook his head, "It's not from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the director is a mainland director, and the funding is French, which is a French film, but it's still a mainland thing, and it may participate in the Cannes Film Festival after filming." ”
He Mu said "oh", the temptation of Cannes is not ordinarily big, but no matter how big it is, this is Chen Sicheng's role, and it has nothing to do with him.
Chen Sicheng made persistent efforts and said, "Are you interested, this play is with two male leads, similar to "Brokeback Mountain", I am one, and the other has not yet been determined, I know that Director Lu Dao appreciates you very much, if you want, this drama can wait for your schedule." ”
Now He Mu finally understands that Chen Sicheng came here not only to experience life, but also to have this meaning, double male protagonists, homosexual themes, after a short ideological struggle, He Mu asked, "Who is the director?" ”
Seeing that He Mu seemed to be a little moved, Chen Sicheng raised his eyebrows, "Lou Ye, you should know the way, right?" ”
Of course, he knows that his name He Mu is like thunder, no wonder the funds come from France, his last work "Summer Palace" is a well-known banned film in China, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television punished him for not directing films in the mainland within five years, the same as Jiang Wen, but the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television can't control the filming of French films.
Hearing that the director was him, He Mu directly refused, "Forget it, we are so familiar with each other, I will have a psychological barrier when filming this kind of scene." ”
Lou Ye is a famous literary film director, who has cooperated with big-name stars such as Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun, many of his works have won awards at international film festivals, and he has a high reputation and influence in the world, especially in France, but because it is not mainstream enough, his films generally have no market in the mainland, or will not be released at all, so the influence in the mainland is small, if you don't particularly like movies or people in this industry, I am afraid they don't know the name Lu Dao.
Another feature of his films is that He Mu's main reason for refusal, that is, excited. The love drama is very bold, and the male and female protagonists Guo Xiaodong and Hao Lei in his banned work "Summer Palace" are all three points exposed, although this is not the main reason for the ban, but the impact is also very bad, and even directly affects the relationship between Hao Lei and Deng Chao.
In fact, He Mu is not so repulsive. Love scenes, filming exciting. Although the love drama is not as cool as what the audience sees, as an actor, He Mu can still make certain sacrifices, as long as it is within the scale, don't be too sexy. Feeling. But what makes him unacceptable is that this is a gay-themed movie, with Lou Ye's urine, He Mu can almost imagine how restrictive those movie pictures are, and they are two big men, He Mu feels that the beer in his stomach is surging upwards when he thinks about it, he also has a bottom line, if it is the kind of gay movie that takes a delicate and aesthetic route and focuses on psychological depiction, he may consider it, but Director Lou prefers to tell stories in bed.
"You don't have the spirit to dedicate yourself to art at all." Chen Sicheng criticized.
He Mu pursed his lips, "Am I dedicated myself to art, or am I dedicated to you, you shouldn't really like me?" ”
"Go, go," Chen Sicheng said annoyedly, "Even if I didn't say it today, let's let the tour guide choose another master." ”
The topic between the two finally returned to the normal trajectory, after playing here for more than an hour, some men and women have hooked up, the next step is to go out to find a quiet place and a bed, He Mu and Chen Sicheng are also gone, they are each going back to their own homes, each going to their own bed.
I thought that this matter would end like this, but I didn't expect Director Lou Ye to be very persevering, and through Chen Sicheng's lobbying failed, he personally went into battle again, and the next day, after He Mu finished filming, Datang called him and said that Xiao Fang had come back from the south, and another director was looking for him......
