pure white crown

Jiang Xing returned to the country.

From going to the UK at the end of 14 to returning to filming again in September 16, it took a total of one year and nine months.

During the nine months of this year, Jiang Xing completed three dramas abroad, "Prince of Soest", "The Fog City", and "The Man at the Bottom of the Cave", and a mini-series "Under the Lake" that has been filmed for two seasons. ", a big-budget movie starring "Alien Crisis" released worldwide, plus a big-budget movie leading actor "Deadly Game" that is in the later stage.

From a supporting role to a leading role in the three dramas, Jiang Xing completed a tour in the UK and was recognized by the British drama circle.

The mini-series "Under the Lake" became popular all over the world. With this play, Jiang Xing gained a firm foothold in the British entertainment industry and let the British people know an oriental actor. He also won the Golden Globe and Emmy Awards for Best Supporting Actor.

"Alien Crisis", which was also released a year ago, also hit the box office for 15 years. The British media and the British people are no longer "aware" that there is an oriental actor, but recognized an oriental actor in the British entertainment circle. At the same time, "Alien Crisis" also made Jiang Xing nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 16.

Now that the second seasons of "Deadly Game" and "Under the Lake" have been filmed, there has been definite news in China that Yu Kexin's new film has invited Jiang Xing to be the leading actor, and Jiang Xing's domestic studio has also admitted this As soon as the news broke—as soon as the news came out, the domestic film industry was greatly shaken. Countless reporters and media called Jiang Xing's studio, hoping to arrange an interview with Jiang Xing, or hope that Jiang Xing could hold a press conference .

But for this, Jiang Xing Studio's attitude is obviously ambiguous.

Just when the media was scratching their heads and making up their minds to follow the example of the paparazzi if they didn't open the door, Jiang Xing had already met Yu Kexin in his studio.

The first time they met directly, Yu Kexin handed Jiang Xing a newly revised script.

All the participating actors know that the creation of the script mostly runs through the entire filming, and it is normal for actors to make changes while filming the script.

Jiang Xing took the bound book titled "Old House", and as soon as he opened it, he heard Yu Kexin say: "I have watched all the movies you filmed abroad, and your acting skills have improved beyond imagination. This The next time you come back to shoot, there must be no problem..."

"How dare Director Yu have problems with me?" Jiang Xing joked, "I still remember that the six relatives in Director Yu's filming did not recognize each other."

Yu Kexin laughed, and without going around in circles, he continued, "Have you thought about playing something different this time?"

"What does Director Yu mean?" Jiang Xing asked.

"In the contract you gave me before, the remuneration required is still the same as when I signed you - I know you are paying me back - it seems that you are not short of money, so have you thought about investing together? Movie, become one of the investors of the movie?" Yu Ke asked heartily.His films are definitely not short of investment, and literary films don't need much investment at all, and now they are just showing Jiang Xing's kindness just like Jiang Xing took the initiative to lower his film salary.

"Hmm..." Jiang Xing didn't really care about this, he was about to answer, but Yu Kexin waved his hand again.

"Actually, what I mainly want to ask is, are you interested in learning the skills of directing from me while filming? I think you are quite talented in this area."

Jiang Xing was stunned for a moment.But soon he reacted, and it was undeniable that he felt a slight heartbeat.

But just to be on the safe side, he called 0021 in his heart: [What do you think? ]

[Can. ] 0021 said, [Systematic learning how to look at performance from another angle will also help the host to improve his acting skills. ]

[I think so. ] Jiang Xing agrees.

The question and answer in his mind was just a moment of thought, Jiang Xing immediately picked up the conversation, and happily said to Yu Kexin: "Does Director Yu need me to pay the apprenticeship fee?"

"Then make another movie for me?" Yu Kexin immediately continued.

Jiang Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "...the apprentice fee is quite expensive."

"That's fine, the next movie doesn't require you to agree now, but will you bring me other actors during the filming?" Yu Kexin also knew that the above request was a bit embarrassing, so he said another one.

"Okay." Jiang Xing agreed.

After all the preliminary matters of the film were finalized, Jiang Xing's studio still did not hold a press conference or agree to an exclusive interview in China. However, when the producer held a special press conference for the launch, Jiang Xing was also present, and the official start Help the movie get the word out.

All kinds of enthusiasm in the press conference of this film are not like what can be seen in a literary film. For an hour, countless reporters present almost broke into a fight in order to ask Jiang Xing. Everyone desperately hoped that Jiang Xing would share some experiences and thoughts about his successful struggles abroad—even if such experiences were dug up by the domestic media as early as when "Alien Crisis" was released and Jiang Xing was nominated for an Oscar. there is none left.

A year and a half ago, Jiang Xing and Lu Yunkai were called the twin stars of the new generation in China.

A year and a half later, Lu Yunkai has become a god in the world and has become a myth in the entertainment circle; Jiang Xing has also reached the status of a leading figure in the domestic entertainment circle and a world-renowned movie star.

They are already shining oriental twin stars all over the world!

When the press conference was over and everyone was about to leave the press conference venue, the reporters chased all the way from the press conference hall to the underground parking lot. Has driven out of the underground garage.Then people in the car and people outside the car saw that countless people gathered outside the underground garage and in a nearby street.

The dense crowd of men and women completely blocked the spacious street, not to mention the passing vehicles, even the pedestrians who did not intend to chase stars but only wanted to pass through this street could not do so.

The horns of the vehicles blocked on both sides have been honked until the sky is broken, and the nearby traffic police have received the news and rushed to evacuate the traffic.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the crew quickly instructed the driver to reverse the car. They wanted to go from another place, but they soon found that fans had blocked all the intersections of the building—and this building was not That kind of mysterious building with secret passages every minute that would appear in TV dramas - the crew could only keep Jiang Xing after discussing it, and held a fan meeting temporarily.

The reporters who were chasing after Jiang Xing to interview were all stunned at this moment. After respectfully letting Jiang Xing return to his original position, he rushed to the window with his camera and took pictures of the crowd below from various angles. A series of photos: The headline news of the next issue, of course, is this star-chasing craze comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush!

After the press conference is the official shooting.

"Old House" is a film set in the period of the Republic of China. In the film, Jiang Xing plays a servant who grew up in a wealthy family.From the servant who ran errands behind the young master to the returned young intellectuals, the life story in the war-torn era.

Although the script before and after "Old House" has been revised, the extent of the change is not very large. Jiang Xing has always had the habit of thinking about the script. He has been thinking about it since he got the script contract when he was still abroad, and now the filming has started. More completely at ease, his own solo scenes are almost never called out, and the occasional reshoots are not due to his mistakes.But on the other hand, when Jiang Xing is playing opposite scenes with other people, especially the heroine, he will slow down his pace and take as many shots as possible with the other party, just like he did to Yu Ke at the beginning. as promised.

Of course, this kind of hand-in-hand teaching only occupied a part of Jiang Xing's filming. Most of the time, Jiang Xing didn't have so much time. He followed Yu Kexin to learn the skills of directing and shooting from scratch. The first month was a thorough observation and theoretical grasp. In the second month, Jiang Xing began to really touch the machine under the guidance of Yu Kexin.

After Jiang Xing's hands on the machine, Yu Kexin was always on the sidelines to prevent Jiang Xing from ruining the camera for the first two days, but only two days later, the director said bluntly: "If you have to rely on your acting skills If you have to choose between your talent and your talent as a director, you can be my colleague, next time we will compete to see who gets the golden olive first."

After speaking, Yu Kexin threw the camera to Jiang Xing, and ran to the side to drink tea.

This was just a small episode during the filming process. Yu Kexin ran back after drinking tea for a day. If he had something to do, he would ask Jiang Xing to come over to have a look. Squeeze out and enjoy.

The days of filming passed quickly, Jiang Xing would call Lu Yun on the phone almost every day when he was performing in China.

Lu Yunkai, who was so busy with publicity all over the world, really couldn't find time to return to his country—in fact, he also needed to go to China to promote it, but Lu Yunkai didn't need to think about it. Putting the domestic publicity time at the end, and staying at Jiang Xing's place after preparing for the publicity - now I can only chat with Jiang Xing half-complainingly on the phone: "I'm wrangling with the entertainment company in the United States... They are going to sign me, and they plan to intervene in my film selection..."

"Sure to sign?" Jiang Xing said, "Otherwise how would you win the Oscar?"

"Do you really think I will win an Oscar!" Lu Yunkai said.

"Nomination is impossible." Jiang Xing said.

"Then tell me, do I want to prepare for disfigurement from now on?" Lu Yunkai felt a little nervous.

"Aren't you tired of playing with disfigured memes?" Jiang Xing laughed, "You only need to put out two photos of yourself at home, and your face will be disfigured."

"Good idea, but it will be skinned..." Lu Yunkai.

"No need, for sure." Jiang Xing said.

While he was talking on the phone with Lu Yun, Jiang Xing used the key card to unlock his room in the corridor of the hotel. He opened the door and entered this luxurious small suite. Before taking two steps, he found something was wrong in the room.

Someone is in his room.

The door of his bedroom was not open when he left in the morning, but turned ajar.Scattered blue rose petals were scattered under the half-covered door. Judging from the traces of the petals, it seemed to extend all the way into the bedroom.

Jiang Xing looked at the wine-red silk scarf hanging on the door of his bedroom, and frowned.He didn't push away the bedroom where the obvious content was hidden, but turned and left, and knocked on the door of Yu Kexin's room not far away.

Like Jiang Xing, Yu Kexin lives in a small apartment.The layout of the rooms in the hotel is almost the same anyway.

Yu Kexin, who had already changed into his nightgown, was quite surprised when he opened the door and saw Jiang Xing. He let Jiang Xing in, and said to Jiang Xing, "I thought it was hotel room service. Hey, I didn't expect it to be you."

"The room service is on my side." Jiang Xing said.

"Why don't you enjoy the ones that are all delivered to your door?" Yu Kexin obviously didn't understand Jiang Xing's choice.

"..." Jiang Xing said, "I don't have this habit."

"It's true that the media has said that you keep yourself clean all these years!" Yu Kexin was almost shocked.Then he glanced at Jiang Xing's key position.

"..." Jiang Xing.

"Okay," Yu Kexin's mind jumped, "Since you don't have this idea, how about we go to the Golden Olive Awards together in two days?"

Jiang Xing has not been active in China for more than a year, and the three major domestic awards have nothing to do with Jiang Xing.

But Yu Kexin was in China, and his previous film was also nominated for this year's Golden Olive Awards. The director had already left and the crew must be on vacation, so he simply invited Jiang Xing to go with him.

Jiang Xing pondered for a moment, then quickly nodded with a smile.

After all award ceremonies, there is a banquet that brings together the most successful people in the entertainment industry.

It's time for his second plan to come back to China to start.
