China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 55

the next morning.

He Hua followed Huang Lan to the set, Jiang Wei greeted him from a distance when he saw him, He Hua stepped forward cheerfully:
"Director, how are you? Are you happy that you finished today?"

Zhang Jing on the side patted He Hua:
"You're asking this, didn't you see the creases on Director Jiang's face? You asked Gao if he was happy like this."

He Hua was helpless: "I deliberately teased the director, but I can't see it?"

Seeing Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan coming over, she hurriedly greeted: "Senior brother and sister, thank you for your hard work!"

As for Wang Kai and Guo Zhenni, they have already wrapped up, so I don't know which group they are working on right now.

"Junior brother is here, and senior sister wants to have a few drinks with you at the green banquet today."

"Don't, senior sister, I don't drink well, you should find the director and sister Jing!"

After chatting for a while, Zu Feng also came over, but he was rather bored and liked to tell some bad jokes. He Hua chatted with him about his feelings about filming this movie, and didn't say much.

The main reason is that he doesn't even know Teacher Tianchi now, so he has no topic to tease him.

But soon Jiang Wei pulled him aside to talk.

He Hua asked curiously, "What's the matter, director, what's the matter?"

Jiang Wei hasn't organized his words yet: "It's nothing, what have you been up to lately?"

"I'm not busy, I just read books. Recently, I'm interested in the history of the Tang Dynasty, so I bought a few books to read."

"Well, I heard that you had some conflicts with Tangren Film and Television in Shanghai?"

He Hua looked back at Huang Lan, thinking that Huang Lan had told Jiang Wei: "The rumor spread quickly enough, yes, but it's nothing serious, just a small conflict."

He Hua didn't want to talk about it.

But Jiang Wei thought for a while and persuaded: "The Tang people have been in the limelight in the field of TV dramas these years, especially in the field of costume dramas, and the company is quite powerful. Since it is a small conflict, let's resolve it. There is no need to offend them. Take a step back."

Hearing these familiar words, He Hua suddenly thought of Ma Wenqi who hadn't been in touch with him for a long time, and smiled wryly.

Once upon a time, Ma Wenqi also admired He Hua's talent, and used her contacts to help him pave the way, so that his debut novel was valued by the publishing house and sold well.

But He Hua's diary, which is like a verdict in the "The Promise" incident, although his name is withheld, his doubts about those great principles broke his heart. Afterwards, the two became strangers and gradually drifted apart.

Now there is another senior who advises him like this, He Hua wonders if this friendship can last?

Seeing He Hua's silence, he thought he was arrogant and unwilling to bow his head, Jiang Wei continued to persuade:
"This circle is like this. Your reputation is not strong enough, and your background is not strong enough. You just have to be manipulated by others, not to mention your works."

"I have experienced too much about you. The work I have worked so hard to complete is completely changed by someone's words, and I am angry with everyone."

"But you still have to continue, because if you don't continue, you won't have the day to dominate its fate."

"When you succeed, your opinion will no longer be ignored."

He Hua looked at Jiang Wei who tried his best to persuade him, and suddenly said: "Director, let's collaborate on another drama."

Jiang Wei, who was caught off guard by this sentence, was immediately stunned: "Huh?"

He Hua repeated what he said just now.

Jiang Wei had a headache: "No, I'm telling you about the Tang people. What kind of cooperation are you talking about with me? Besides, this drama is not finished yet, so I don't know if anyone will like it."

"Don't worry, I don't know if the ratings are high or not, but word of mouth must be good."

He Hua and Jiang Wei explained the matter with Tang Ren: "I definitely wanted to cooperate at the beginning. I still recognize Tang Ren's production level, but later Cai Yinong treated me as a soft persimmon, and I was not happy."

"In that case, then I won't cooperate. I still want to work with a knowledgeable person like you."

"This time I want to tell a lighter spy war drama, a story of a small character growing up slowly in the complicated big Shanghai and pursuing justice, Gu Yao"

Jiang Wei heard He Hua's refusal, and didn't say anything more. When he heard He Hua's new story, he turned around and ran away.

Zhang Jing came over and asked, "What are you two talking about? It's so mysterious, why did Jiang Wei run away?"

"I didn't say anything. I had an inspiration that I wanted to share with Director Jiang, but he turned around and ran away instead of listening. Who is this?"

Zhang Jing laughed: "He is like this. He is very serious when doing the things he likes. He doesn't listen to what others say, for fear of affecting the quality of the work. You have to wait until he finishes it."

As for He Hua's thoughts, Zhang Jing didn't ask. The result of the first cooperation hadn't come out yet, so she couldn't make a hasty decision.

After shooting the last small shot in the morning, Jiang Wei was surrounded by the crowd and went out. Looking at Zhang Jing, Huang Lan, Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan holding champagne, and He Hua and Zhang Hongzhen standing on both sides holding fireworks tubes, he announced loudly:

""Latent" is finished!"

"crack" "crack" "bang bang bang"

All of a sudden, fireworks and firecrackers sounded at the same time, and several people holding champagne also started to spray randomly, which was very lively.

After making a fuss for a while, Zhang Jing announced loudly:
"Finish the green banquet at night, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

A big restaurant was found for the finale banquet, and a group of people made five or six tables in the lobby.

When the dishes were almost served, Zhang Jing raised her wine glass, and everyone looked at her:
"First of all, let us thank director Jiang Wei, and our producer and screenwriter He Hua. Without them, we would not have such a good story. Come, let's raise our glasses and thank them."

"it is good"

"it is good"

"cheers"

"Secondly, I would like to thank our behind-the-scenes production team for this drama..."

"I also want to thank these excellent actors..."

Drinking three cups before dinner frightened He Hua. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk back tonight if I drink like this!
Sure enough, after Zhang Jing finished speaking, everyone started to eat, but before they had eaten much, the toasting began, wave after wave.

He Hua had no choice but to pretend that something happened, and dragged Zu Feng to have an awkward chat, so that others would be embarrassed to approach and disturb him.

Relying on these methods, He Hua finally escaped a catastrophe, not getting drunk, but still sober.

But there is a second half after dinner.

Zhang Hongzhen asked someone to arrange a KTV, and changed from eating and drinking to drinking and singing. Although there was foreign wine and beer to choose from, he still vomited on He Hua. In the end, Huang Lan helped him back to the hotel.

"Thank you, go back and rest early."

"Are you sure it's okay, I'm really leaving."

"Let's go, it's okay."

Huang Lan just left.

At noon the next day, He Hua, who was eating in the restaurant of the hotel, saw Jiang Wei who was sluggish.

He Hua put on the tableware and stepped forward to cook with him, jokingly said: "Director Jiang, you can't drink enough, you were carried back last night!"

Jiang Wei ignored him, thought for a while, and told Huang Lei what he had asked for:
"Since you don't want to see him, I'll reject him."

He Hua also became serious: "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, it's really not the same way, and it's meaningless to force them to come together."

"It's okay, as long as you have a plan in mind."

"By the way, director, the filming of the TV series is over, when are you going back to BJ?"

"In a few days, I have to sort out the materials."

He Hua nodded: "Then I will go back tomorrow."

Jiang Wei nodded and continued eating.

As for the inspiration that He Hua said yesterday, he didn't mention it again. At that time, he was just thinking about protecting this friend who is also a teacher and a friend. He wanted the two of them to cooperate in a spy drama, but later thought it was not suitable.

The style of Jiang Wei's TV series is rather cold, such as "Don't Talk to Strangers", "The Silent Witness" and the current "Latent", all of which have a slightly bleak style.

But the drama that He Hua watched required bright scenes that even had a sense of dreaminess, and there were a lot of short-tempered pyrotechnics, Jiang Wei couldn't shoot that kind of feeling.
