reshape life

In February 2003, the filming of "Flower and Sword", which took four months, was officially completed.Dao Fang grandly held a wrap-up banquet at a local five-star hotel. During the dinner, everyone did not forget to borrow flowers to present Buddha, and all wished Lu Heng a successful start at the Berlin Film Festival through Dao Fang's wrap-up wine, and successfully won the Little Silver Bear.

Lu Heng accepted everyone's auspicious words, the wine was naturally poured into his stomach cup by cup, and he didn't show any evasion at all.This unrestrained generosity made everyone clap the table and applaud. After drinking for three rounds, when the atmosphere was in full swing, Shao Qiongfang, who played the heroine in the movie, couldn't help holding a glass and said: "I hope Xiaoheng's trip to the Berlin Film Festival It can give us all a good start, so that the Oscar road of "Flower and Sword" can go smoothly."

One sentence hit everyone's heart, everyone was quiet for a moment, and then picked up the wine glass tacitly.

After drinking a few glasses of wine in succession, some actors with poor kidney function immediately find opportunities to go to the toilet on their own.Director Fang doesn't drink very well, after a few glasses of wine, he becomes slightly tipsy. He has a characteristic, he talks a lot when drunk.Immediately, he took Lu Heng's hand and kept asking: "It's seventeen after the new year, have you thought about what school to take for the college entrance examination?"

Lu Heng really thought about it.He was not born with the kind of person who is particularly talented in learning. In his previous life, he was considered a junior high school graduate. Because of his lack of education, he was often ridiculed openly or secretly when he ran announcements or recorded variety shows.After being reborn in this life, knowing how heavy I am, I don’t dare to dream of becoming a top student, so I plan to work harder during the college entrance examination, apply for a film school, and take an acting department, and my wish is enough.

He thought, with his current filming experience and culture class results, if he takes the Yanying Acting Department, he should not be rejected by others.

Lu Heng originally thought that his plan was mature and solid, but Fang Kaizhi didn't think so.He waved his hand at Lu Heng: "Isn't this nonsense! Don't talk about you being shortlisted for the Berlin International Film Festival. Counting from a year ago, you are also the youngest winner of the Golden Crow Award for Best Supporting Actor. If you If you want to apply for the film academy, it doesn't matter which one is among the top three, they are crazy to reject you. But the key is yourself..."

Fang Kaizhi patted Lu Heng on the shoulder, and said with great earnestness: "Based on your current experience, the performance departments of film academies established in China can't teach you much about acting. And there are many things about acting. You can't just read the books. So I think, instead of applying for the acting department, you should apply for the directing department. First, you can change your perspective and think about the way of acting, and understand the role and interpretation of the role more comprehensively. Secondly, it is also planning for your own future." You can't be an actor for a lifetime, right?

Speaking of which, Fang Kaizhi also had good intentions for Lu Heng.He felt that Lu Heng was young and had a lot of aura in acting. He had already reached a height that many actors could not achieve in their lifetime at a young age.Because of this, Lu Heng's talent should not be wasted, and he should strive for excellence.

But in the entertainment industry, if you are good at acting, you will direct, and if you are good at acting, you will control. There has always been a pulse to follow.Fang Kaizhi could tell from Lu Heng's ability to tinker with a new set of looks and a new set of swordsmanship in order to audition for the role of Wen Renjing, and from the attitude of Mr. Fang Qizheng full of praise for Lu Heng during the filming. Lu Heng's talent outside of acting.

Taking this as an opportunity, he felt that Lu Heng could try his hand at directing.

After all, looking around, what is lacking in China's entertainment industry today is not actors with superb acting skills, but excellent directors who can better integrate the quintessence of Chinese culture and film art, and deliver China's films to the international big screen. .

Fang Kaizhi's persuasion and high hopes made Lu Heng feel heavy in his heart.

Before that, he had never thought about such a profound thing.Even if he lived to be 30 years old in his previous life, he never thought of changing careers to become a director.

Lu Heng turned the cup in his hand thoughtfully, no matter what, he still solemnly assured Director Fang that he would consider this suggestion carefully.

Zhao Miao, who just came back from the bathroom, heard the ending and said with a big smile, "If you are the director, remember to ask me to play the male lead."

"What male lead?" Chen Mengyi, who was sitting on the other side of the wine table, asked with sparkling eyes. After hearing Zhao Miao's explanation, she also raised her hand and said, "Then I will also come as a guest star."

Other people who were drinking high also expressed their willingness to come to the camera.Fang Kaizhi and Mr. Fang Qizheng rubbed their chins, laughed and said, "If you can really direct a passable film, we'll all come to guest star you."

Lu Heng looked at everyone who took the opportunity to "drink crazy", and was so dumbfounded that he didn't know what to say.

On the second night of the finale banquet, Lu Heng flew back to Yanjing with his suitcase.Of course, the one who came to pick him up was Mr. Wei who drove a Ferrari in person.He turned eighteen years ago, and the first thing he did after his birthday was to take a driver's license test, and then he picked up a limited-edition sports car.

By the way, Lu Heng was the first person this sports car ever carried.

“……柏林电影节在2月3号开幕，我们的电影安排在2月15号上映。怕时间赶不及，我让李导和《兄弟情》剧组的其他主创人员先飞过去了。你这边只要在2月14号以前到达柏林就可以。可以多陪家人几天……”

"...But we have to spend the New Year in Berlin this year." Wei Linxuan carefully painted Lu Heng's eyebrows and eyes in the rearview mirror, and suddenly realized his slip of the tongue, and quickly changed his words: "I mean, our crew has to be in Berlin. Chinese New Year abroad."

After saying this, Wei Linxuan glanced at Lu Heng secretly, and deliberately changed the topic: "Shall I take you home first, or send you to Uncle Lu?"

Lu Heng glanced at Wei Linxuan, and said, "Let's go home first. I'll take a shower and change clothes, and then go back to my parents at night."

Wei Linxuan responded, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Lu Heng say again: "If you are celebrating the New Year in Berlin, you have to find a way to book a hotel room with its own kitchen, so that I can cook New Year's Eve dinner for you conveniently."

What did he say to me?He said yes to me!Not for the crew!yes to me!

Wei Linxuan's eyes lit up, he coughed lightly, and asked tentatively: "The hotel has already been booked. For convenience, the crew directly booked in the Triumph Hotel, which is also one of the main venues of the Berlin International Film Festival."

"Although the guest rooms over there don't have their own kitchens, I have an apartment in Berlin. If you don't mind, you can cook New Year's Eve dinner there."

After Wei Linxuan finished speaking, he almost bit his tongue.Mind what a fart!Can you speak?

He quickly added: "I mean, we can wait until the day of New Year's Eve passes."

Lu Heng let out a "hmm", and was a bit at a loss as to what to answer.

The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while.

The corners of Wei Linxuan's mouth turned up involuntarily, probably because the temperature outside was too cold, and Lu Heng's ears were also a little red.

Just like that all the way to the apartment without a word.After Lu Heng went home, he took a shower and changed his clothes, and went into the kitchen to cook a few dishes. The two of them ate lunch before Wei Linxuan sent Lu Heng to the community where Lu's father and mother lived.

Lu Heng stayed at home for a week, and every day he ate the love meal prepared by Lu's father and Lu's mother, which was extremely nourishing.During the period, I went to Wei's house to visit Grandpa Wei and Dad Wei.

The old man didn't say much about Lu Heng's casting of "Flower and Sword".On the contrary, Wei Hongxuan kept being aggressive at the dinner table: "... I don't know what ecstasy drug you gave that stupid boy in our family, but he dared to challenge me in front of me, saying that he would be happy to clean up for you Endgame is happy to support you. I have no problem with his willingness to support people, but he spends all the resources of the company. Can't I, the big brother, not ask? I am also doing this for the good of the company. boy!"

"I think you are a little too busy, brother!" Wei Linxuan put down the table and chopsticks heavily: "Uncle, as a nephew, I have never intervened in the group's accounts and management, have I?"

The uncle of the Wei family didn't expect that the two brothers' bickering would come down to him, one of them didn't react, and asked in surprise: "What?"

"Brother is in his 20s this year, and he has been in the company for a long time. I think the uncle should entrust him with a heavy responsibility and let him experience it. In this way, he won't have the time to focus on the entertainment company all the time. , give me and my father the decision-making." Wei Linxuan's words were not polite at all.The sharp words made Wei Hongxuan and his son unable to get off the stage.

"Your elder brother also cares about you!" The uncle of the Wei family looked awkward, and just said something, Wei Linxuan said tit for tat: "If you say that, I also care about the uncle and the elder brother, then I will go to the headquarters tomorrow , it’s okay to check your accounts and see your project management. What do you think?”

Uncle Wei's expression changed.Wei Hongxuan's city mansion is shallower, and he sneered immediately after hearing the words: "Why, an entertainment company can't satisfy your appetite, are you trying to seize the group now?"

"I think some people are greedy for the profits of entertainment companies, and stretch their hands too far—"

"Enough!" Mr. Wei interrupted the quarrel at the table in a deep voice: "In front of the guests, what are you doing?"

Wei Hongxuan was furious at being squeezed out, and snorted coldly when he heard the words: "I'm thinking about the company, so naturally I don't like people messing around and not listening to persuasion."

24 Xiaowei's father, who had been silent all this time, smiled when he heard the words, and said calmly: "Hongxuan's temperament is really getting more and more impetuous."

Then, turning his head, Wen Sheng comforted Lu Heng: "Don't mind what some people say. Linxuan and I can still decide the company's arrangements for you. Don't worry."

Wei's father's words were a slap in the face, and the uncle of the Wei family felt a "slap" on his face, and immediately couldn't hang on.He coughed lightly, and said, "Second brother, it's two children bickering now, we are adults, so we shouldn't add oil and vinegar?"

"Really?" Wei's father hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile, "Brother, what you mean is that neither Linxuan nor I can discuss the company affairs of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment. If we say it, it's just to add fuel to the bullshit?"

The uncle of the Wei family choked angrily, and blurted out: "When did I say that, aren't you just messing around—"

"Big brother and Hongxuan are really father and son." Wei's father said with a pleasant smile.

With his father in his early years, Wei Linxuan didn't talk back. He just looked at Mr. Wei and said solemnly: "Grandpa, Lu Heng and I have finished eating. We have to fly to country D tomorrow. If you have nothing else to do, I will Send Lu Heng back to rest."

Mr. Wei originally wanted to have a chat with Lu Heng after dinner, but Wei Hongxuan made things like this, and it was hard for him to open his mouth.I had no choice but to nod, pondered for a moment, and said to Lu Heng: "Don't take what Hongxuan said to heart. You are fine, grandpa likes you, and you understand how the company treats you."

As he spoke, he asked Wei Hongxuan to apologize to Lu Heng.

Wei Hongxuan didn't expect that besides Wei Linxuan, his grandfather would also favor Lu Heng so much, and he couldn't help but feel strange for a while.

The auntie of the Wei family who had been sitting at the dining table without saying a word secretly tugged at her son's sleeve. Wei Hongxuan took a deep breath and forced a smile and said, "Lu Heng, don't mind what I say. I just It's just a matter of fact, and it doesn't mean anything against you."

Lu Heng just smiled and said nothing.

Wei Linxuan got up directly and said, "It's getting late, I'll take you back, and you have to catch a plane tomorrow!"

Lu Heng got up, bid farewell to everyone in the Wei family, and turned to leave.

On the way, Wei Linxuan carefully looked at Lu Heng's expression: "Wei Hongxuan's words are all fart, don't be angry when you hear it."

Lu Heng smiled: "Knowing that he is farting, why am I still angry. Could it be that he is so stinky that his fart smells so bad that it irritates me?"

Wei Linxuan couldn't help laughing, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's what it means."

However, he was thinking in his heart that he was not happy with this meal, and when he flew to Berlin tomorrow, he had to find a way to have a good meal to make Lu Heng happy.

Totally forgot that the next day was February [-]th.
