After reuniting with the giant bamboo horse, I became popular [entertainment circle]

Li Huai had a good talk with Zhang Qu, the director of "Endangered".

Zhang Qu was originally a documentary filmmaker, and has won several prestigious awards in the industry. This time, he used the old team to make a movie.

The investment also raised a few million. It is a low-budget movie, and the money will be enough.

Zhang Qu's ambition is quite big, but it is also very realistic. The requirement for this movie is nothing more than paying back the cost.

Therefore, he was quite surprised that Li Huai would be interested in this film.

The two discussed the script for a while, and then talked about Zhang Qu's previous documentaries. Finally, Zhang Qu rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "You are indeed suitable for this role in all aspects, except for the salary... I can't afford it."

Li Huai is now considered to be a rising and powerful actor, with a good reputation and good achievements, so he is naturally paid a lot of money.

Those who make documentaries are used to being poor. Zhang Qu is meticulous in all aspects. He originally planned to go to the film school to find a few suitable students to be the leading actors, but he never considered becoming a popular niche.

Li Huai had already been prepared for this, and readily expressed his willingness to cut his salary to join the team.

Lan Xiaoli had been mentally prepared for a long time, and she sighed next to her.

"How embarrassing." Zhang Qu continued rubbing his hands and laughing.

When talking about the script with Li Huai just now, Zhang Qu knew that Li Huai's fame was definitely not just blown out.

In fact, Zhang Qu knew that a well-known leading actor would definitely add exponentially to the film—otherwise, there would not be so many investors chasing big stars with their pocketbooks.

A suitable and well-known actor, no matter how hard Zhang Qu is, it is impossible to refuse.

He is an honest man, Li Huai only received a symbolic remuneration, and Zhang Qu gave Li Huai a bonus of ten points. When he signed the contract, he smiled shyly: "Our film probably won't make much money. , it can be regarded as a lottery."

In fact, Li Huai knew that Director He was purely thinking of himself.

Most well-known actors are unwilling to cut their salaries easily, one is to make a good offer, and the other is to fend off favors that are unwilling to accept and difficult to refuse.

Li Huai is still on the rise, which is particularly important, and Li Huai is also very grateful.

"Endangered" is a small production team, and the entire production team is more famous than Li Huai. The other main actors are basically newcomers who are not well-known, and there is even an important female lead.

The crew is simple, and it is easy to start the film. With the main actors and the director's own old team, "Endangered" started in a low-key manner in a small northwest town.

Everyone was very happy, except He Xijing.

Li Huai had already promised that the rest of the month would be his own, but he was about to join the group again in a blink of an eye.

On the first night of his departure, he hugged Li Huai for a long time, and finally buried his face on Li Huai's body so hard that he couldn't get up, just like a child.

Li Huai stroked his hair helplessly, and it took him a long time to coax him.

In fact, it was not coaxed well, but He Xijing didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

He knows that Li Huai attaches great importance to his career, and compared to making movies, he must be in the back row.

He could only grit his teeth and endure it.

"Endangered" is a comedy. It tells the story that in a certain northwest town, the protagonist accidentally photographs the evidence of a smuggling gang, and then gets involved in danger.

To be honest, Li Huai has never made a comedy before, but the protagonist A Niu he played was not a traditional funny character.

Although A Niu has a rustic name, he is actually an out-and-out modern youth. Although he grazes in the desert, his mobile phone is fast, and he is still a small internet celebrity who likes to shoot videos.

He has never left his hometown town, but he still seriously studies the clothes of outsiders, and also likes to delve into constellations and popular colors.

A Niu is still a capable person, but it is not the same as his elders who worked hard to get rich. He always holds up his mobile phone to take pictures everywhere, and then he comes to business everywhere.

Such a character is very popular among the young people in the town, but he seems out of tune with the older generation, and has a stronger sense of comedy.

The crew invited a lot of local people to perform in the group, and Li Huai also took the opportunity to learn the accent of the local people seriously.

Putonghua with the taste of northwest wind and sand, even if it is spoken seriously, is naturally joyful.

The conditions in the northwest desert were not very good, but Li Huai had a great time shooting.

The crew of "Endangered" is mostly young people, the atmosphere is very relaxed, and the director is easy to talk to. The filming basically starts with a laugh, and then ends with a laugh.

Even the crackling of the raised sand and stones falling on the tent seemed to be laughter.

The only downside of this atmosphere is probably that there are too many NGs.

Li Huai had heard about it a long time ago. Some comedy films are filmed all the way, and the most experienced actors can't help laughing from time to time.

When the actors are playing against each other, they often laugh and rub their stomachs and say no, and at the same time they collide and stir up more hilarious plots.

Li Huai always felt that such a comedy should not be bad at the box office.

"The filming here is going well." Li Huaizheng and He Xijing made a video, with smiles on their faces, but their voices were very low. "I will go back in a few days, and I should be able to stay with you for a day or two."

There is no suitable hotel here, and the crew rents tents, which are different from the traditional tents on TV, but more like prefab houses. The rooms are divided into rooms. Although the sound insulation effect is not very good, it is still there. own separate room.

He Xijing was very happy to hear the news.

Recently, he has been so busy that he can't even make time to come and see Li Huai, and he is very irritable.

"I'll pick you up then," he said.

Less than a month after joining the group, the publicity for "Storm" has also begun. Li Huai has already reported to the director, and it is easy to get three days off.

There is no suitable airport here, so He Xijing specially drove a private helicopter to pick up Li Huai.

As soon as he saw He Xijing, Li Huai couldn't help but walk over with a smile.

He Xijing didn't know why, he had no expression on his face, and looked a little cold, so he just pulled Li Huai onto the helicopter. It was difficult to have a conversation amidst the roar of the propellers, but Li Huai could also see that He Xijing's willingness to speak was not strong .

Li Huai sat beside He Xijing a little awkwardly, and couldn't help touching his face.

The northwest wind was strong and dry, and he didn't care too much about it when shooting. His skin was inevitably darker and rougher.

Flying back to the destination in silence, when they arrived at the hotel, Li Huai coughed dryly and was about to say something when He Xijing pushed him down on the bed.

Li Huai's eyes widened in shock.

He Xijing looked down at him from above, with violent animalism in his eyes, and rested his hands on Li Huai's back for a while, and said irritably, "Why have you lost so much weight?"

She looked thinner in the video, but it was discovered in person that Li Huai's bones were sticking out.

All of a sudden, it reminded him of very bad memories.

The one who died slowly in "Summer."

He Xijing's emotions suddenly became uncontrollable.

He had been holding back because of outsiders on the helicopter just now, and finally couldn't help it now.

"You promised me to take good care of yourself." It's been a long time since He Xijing didn't want to quarrel, but he raised his voice uncontrollably, "Is this the result of you taking care of yourself?"

Li Huai's assistant, Xiao Ou, was preparing for the wedding recently. Li Huai gave him a one-month honeymoon leave with a wave of his hand, and felt that the crew was deserted, and probably didn't need anyone to run errands. Group.

Without Xiao Ou urging him to eat and sleep on time, Li Huai had to admit that he was probably a little willful.

But the most important thing is that he is really not used to the Northwest flavor, and he can't quite eat the food there.

But such thinness fit the image of the male lead better, and was praised by the director.

Li Huai never expected that He Xijing would be annoyed by this as soon as he came back.

He couldn't figure it out at first, but he slowly came to his senses.

He Xijing thought of Shu Cheng again.

Li Huai knew that Shu Cheng was a piece of He Xijing's heart.

In fact, it is also true for myself.

But what they care about is probably a little different.

Li Huai sighed.

"I'm fine now." He looked seriously into He Xijing's eyes. "The conditions over there are worse. It's exposed to the wind and the sun. I look thinner, but I actually got out of it."

He took He Xijing's hand and placed it on his thin belly.

In the wilderness, there is no gentle and soft outline, and even the skin and bones have a barbaric vigor.

"But maybe it's not as easy to touch as before." Li Huai smiled embarrassedly.

He Xijing's eyes slowly deepened.

The exploration gradually took on a different atmosphere.

"No, I like it better..." His voice became hoarse.

As the passion gradually slowed down, He Xijing poked Li Huai's shoulder blades a little unwillingly.

The skin here is tightly attached to the bone, and the lines look more beautiful, but it still makes people feel distressed.

"You have to be serious about filming, and I won't say anything, but let me send you something?" For example, a nanny car with better conditions, a chef, and so on.

Li Huai smiled and kissed him on the cheek: "It's not that I'm out of touch, but that this movie is different, and if it's raised too well, it won't taste right."

Li Huai is not a rigid person, and he would not ask He Xijing to help him at all. For example, in "The Storm", Li Huai knew that he could receive the protagonist, and He Xijing put in a lot of effort behind it.

The only thing he asked He Xijing not to use money to pressure people, especially not to force roles, respect the choices of directors and screenwriters, this is the greatest good thing investors can do.

Li Huai has suffered such a loss, and he never wants to become that kind of person.

For the filming of "Endangered", He Xijing also said that he wanted to invest, and he mentioned the actor's conditions by the way, but Li Huai refused without hesitation.

Director Huang Anguo's style in "Summer" is beautiful and delicate, no matter the narrative technique or shooting, they are as beautiful as a delicate work of art.

Director Hu is a typical director's style, as rigorous as a textbook, and he can't find any faults at all.

Chapters are a completely different style.He was originally a documentary director, and his lens was as sharp as a scalpel, with a texture of rock and gravel.

If the actors are really well-rounded, the taste will be completely wrong.

And for good actors to shape their characters, this is really not a hard thing.

Li Huai spoke with ease, but he didn't notice the eyes of the people around him, and they dimmed a little bit.
