Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 128 Interview
After Li Tang left Studio No. [-] with emotion, he went to sit with Senior Lu.

"Extreme Summer" has already been released, and the box office is said to be good, but no one can say the exact figure, only 103 copies have been sold.It can be regarded as a movie with good returns produced by Beijing Film Studio in recent years.

In addition, Lu Xuechang told Li Tang that "Extreme Summer" has signed up to participate in the [-]th Beijing College Student Film Festival to be held in April this year, and will be screened in various universities in Beijing at that time.

During this period of time, Senior Lu has already started to conceive a new book, and he looks a little tired, saying that he will not have a clue for a while, and he is going to wait for the weather to warm up to collect wind.

Li Tang actually admires them, the so-called sixth-generation directors. They are different from the fifth generation who are used to adapting novels. They advocate making their own movies, telling their own stories, and expressing themselves in their own way.

This is not a kind of creative freedom, but it is not envied by ordinary people, because first of all, you have to be talented.People like Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Yuan, and Section Chief Jia are not very clear to Li Tang, but Lou Ye and Senior Lu, who are beside him and work together, often have unconstrained thinking and are definitely talents.

He didn't stay with Senior Lu for long, and seeing that it was almost time, he got up and said goodbye, and went to another small building in the factory to audition.

But what surprised him was that he was the only one in today's audition, and there were three interviewers, except for the producer Zhang Jizhong, the director Huang Jianzhong, and another strong man who looked about 40 or 50 years old and had a short stature.

"Teacher Zhang!"

"Director Huang, hello!"

Li Tang and Huang Jianzhong met once at last year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

"Xiao Li, long time no see!"

Huang Jianzhong also shook hands with him enthusiastically, and he didn't see any negative emotions that Li Tang came this time to compete with the actor he recommended.

The old man is almost sixty. As the fourth generation of directors, he may be the most prolific director among them. From the entire 80s to the 90s, new works came out almost every year, and there are many excellent works, such as "The Police Officer in the Year of the Dragon", "New Year", "Women from a Good Family", "My 1919" and so on.

However, Li Tang liked his director's "Dahong Rice Shop" the most. This film, which was banned by radio and television, had been broadcast several times as an educational film in Shanghai, and Li Tang's original body was not absent every time.

It can be said that the extreme exposure of the evil of human nature shown in this movie is absolutely no less than that of "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Ju Dou" directed by Zhang Yimou, and even worse.

But from this aspect, this old man has a very thoughtful director, and Li Tang is also very happy to cooperate with such a director.

The old man also enthusiastically introduced the strong man next to Li Tang.

"This is our action director Yuan Bing."

It turned out to be one of the Seven Little Fortunes, a well-known action director in Hong Kong.

"Director Yuan, hello!"

Li Tang hurriedly shook hands with him. After all, he was Lian's son, his hands were not only thick but also very strong.

"Hello there!"

Yuan Bing noticed the sword bag on his back and asked, "Do you know swordsmanship?"

"A little bit."

Yuan Bing exchanged his gaze with Zhang Jizhong and Huang Jianzhong who were on the side.

The bearded man looked like an old god, noncommittal.Director Huang's gaze was slightly complicated. He had recommended the third-year student of Nortel's Acting Department because he really thought she was a good person and fit Lin Pingzhi's character image in his mind.And he didn't know that Li Tang would audition for the role.

As the director of Beijing Film Studio, he has watched "Shanghai Chronicle" and "Extreme Summer" starring Li Tang, including Nortel's graduation work "Criminal" in the 99th class. Li Tang's acting skills are well known.

Let's put it this way, generally young actors who have just stepped out of school will more or less have some traces of acting in tune, but Li Tang can be said to be a clear stream in their group, and his acting is natural, fresh and natural. It is not an exaggeration to describe it.Otherwise, they would not have been nominated for the Huabiao Film Newcomer Award and the Golden Rooster Award.

As long as he knew that Li Tang was going to audition for the role of Lin Pingzhi, he would undoubtedly choose Li Tang.But now he has recommended that Nortel student...

When Yuan Bing looked over with his inquiring eyes, he gave a positive look, and then glanced at the bearded Zhang who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai next to him, feeling very helpless.

He knew very well that the other party's sudden move was to compete with him for the right to speak.

To be honest, before he cooperated with him, he had heard that Zhang Jizhong was domineering, powerful, high-profile and had a strong desire for power.It can be seen from the beginning of the preparation that he hyped up the copyright of one yuan in a high-profile manner, frequently appeared in the media, and talked about "Swordsman".

It stands to reason that the producer is responsible for the general manager, and the director is responsible for the specific shooting work, including the selection of actors, the director has a very heavy say.He just didn't expect that as a producer, Zhang Jizhong didn't want this power to be left behind. Obviously, he wanted to use Li Tang to suppress his authority as a director.

The old man expressed that he was very tired, but the situation had reached such a point that he could no longer back down, otherwise his authority as a director would be wiped out. Even if Zhang Dahuzi chose Li Tang as he wished, he still had to make a gesture. .

So he agreed to let Yuan Bing test the opponent's swordsmanship first, whether it is a mule or a horse to pull out first.

As an action director, Yuan Bing is from Hong Kong, not in the mainland system. His status is relatively detached, that is to say, no matter how powerful Zhang Big Beard is, don't put your hands in his field.

Fortunately, Zhang Jizhong is not blindly domineering, he knows how to assess the situation, otherwise he would not be sitting in the producer's seat.The field of action guidance is not what he is good at, so let professional people do the professional things.

So there is no conflict between him and Yuan Bing, on the contrary they cooperate very well.

After receiving Lao Huang's affirmative reply, Yuan Bing said, "Then let's show it."

"it is good!"

Of course, Li Tang didn't know that the three big bosses of the crew still had these twists and turns. His idea was very simple. If he wanted to fight for a role, he would interview honestly. You deliberately targeted negative emotions like me.

The reason is simple, whether you were in Hollywood or Broadway in your previous life, no matter how big a star you are, if you want to get a role, you must go through an interview.Maybe your acting skills are obvious to all, and you don’t need to show them in the interview, but you will still sit down and talk, such as your feelings about this character.

Of course, Hollywood and Broadway do not exclude so-called favors.As long as there are people, there must be human feelings. After all, people are emotional animals.There are also some dirty deals and things like that, but all of these premise are for the better and better of this show or this movie.

It’s not about how noble or professional these producers and directors in Hollywood and Broadway are, but that all of them need the market to speak. If a play or movie fails due to casting problems, then it’s very likely that you, the director Or the producers were eliminated because of it.

In this regard, Li An originally chose Zhang Ziyi as the female lead of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Director Zhang Yimou's great trust, since he is the newcomer you Director Zhang likes, then I, Li An, absolutely trust your director Zhang's vision.

Li Tang was not as lucky as Zhang Ziyi, so his mind was very calm.

He moved his body first, did a few stretching movements, and then took out a sword from the bag.

This sword is still the one used in the performance at the Huabiao Award Ceremony. It is an unopened sports equipment in the unified standard of the Wushu Association, the kind used by old men and women in the park.

He drew out his sword and drew two sword flowers.He was very familiar with the feel of this sword, and then opened his posture, dancing "shua, shua, shua".The swordsmanship that Wu Jing taught him has already become familiar to him after more than half a month of practice, and it is even more beautiful than when Wu Jing taught him at the beginning, and even a bit charming.

Yuan Bing looked confused. It stands to reason that as an action instructor, he has cooperated with many martial arts athletes in the mainland. He has seen eighty or one hundred sword skills, but he just can't figure out what kind of sword this set is. Law.

After Li Tang put away his sword, he couldn't wait to ask: "What kind of sword technique is this?"

Li Tang said shyly: "This is not a formal sword technique. I learned it from a friend. It is probably a set of sword techniques for performance."

"Your friend is an action actor?"

"Uh, yeah."

Yuan Bing didn't ask any further questions. The way to see this set of swordsmanship is definitely not designed by one of their seven little blessings, and seeing Li Tang's slightly reluctant expression, there is a high probability that it is Yuan Jiaban or Yuan Baye Designed.

He didn't look at Li Tang's swordsmanship, but through Li Tang's movements, he could see that Li Tang had certain martial arts skills.

As an action director, he certainly hopes that all the actors in the show will have martial arts skills, so that they can save worry and effort.

At this time, Huang Jianzhong frowned and said: "I think your swordsmanship is too feminine, and the evil swordsmanship is a peerless magic skill. We are considering taking a tough path, which is in contrast to the image of a character who must be selected from the palace if he wants to practice magic skills." .If you don't mind, can you show us some other sword skills?"

Hearing Lao Huang's words, Zhang Jizhong couldn't help frowning, because these words obviously meant to make things difficult.The so-called interview is to show the basic skills of the actors. As for what kind of swordsmanship to use when filming, it is the action director's responsibility to design. Even if you know a hundred swordsmanship, you have to relearn according to the movements designed by the action director.

However, Lao Zhang did not speak out against it, otherwise it would appear that he was too domineering and selfish, so he simply continued to watch from the sidelines, and he believed that Yuan Bing would make a correct evaluation.

And Yuan Bing is not interested in the fighting between these two, but he will not offend either side. Since Lao Huang has spoken, let Li Tang show it again.

"Okay, Director Huang."

Li Tang was as good as ever, and at first he thought that this slightly feminine swordsmanship should be in line with the eunuch Lin Pingzhi's personality.As a result, the director actually found another way, using the fierce swordsmanship to contrast with the characters, and at the same time show the power of the evil swordsmanship as a peerless magic skill.

Li Tang has to admit that the director's thinking is more brilliant. From the perspective of drama, there is conflict if there is contrast, which constitutes the elements of the establishment of the drama.In addition, this contrast will make the characters more three-dimensional.

It's just a pity for that box of Moutai.
