Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 13 Suzhou River

Ganqing Lou Ye introduced his agent to himself.Although Naian only mentioned his identity as a manager at the end, he introduced himself in detail earlier, obviously with sincerity.

Then she said frankly that her dream art company was only managed by Lou Ye and herself.The implication may not be particularly professional, or that resources are limited.

It stands to reason that Naian is not the best choice in Li Tang's mind, but still the saying "trust is the most important".Besides, he is a newcomer now, and he doesn't have enough capital, so he doesn't need that kind of professional and well-resourced big brokerage company for the time being.Even if you go to the door, they may not be able to take a fancy to you.

"Sister An, since everyone is our own, it would be great. I will leave my affairs to you in the future." Li Tang said directly without thinking too much.

"Thank you for trusting me. I will do my best in your affairs in the future." Naian smiled.

Dream Art Company is a small company, and it was deeply bound with Lou Ye from the very beginning, focusing on film production.The brokerage business is just incidental, but Li Tang has already won the role of the number one actor in the gift film of Shanghai Film Studio, which shows that he is a potential stock, but the quality needs to be tested.

Whether it's a gamble or selling Louye to save face, Naian has no reason to refuse.

"Then I'll bring over the contract later and you can take a look at it first."

"Row."

Of course, it depends on the contract. If Naian doesn't even understand the brokerage contract with himself, I'm afraid I won't feel relieved.

Li Tang thought that the business was over, but the other party didn't intend to end the meeting.Seeing Lou Ye's tired look, he asked again: "Brother Ye, have you been busy recently?"

"I went to the capital for a while, and I came back yesterday."

Brother Ye always has the ability to kill the world with one sentence.

Li Tang didn't know how to answer, he just thought to himself: No wonder it took so long to contact him.

At this moment, Nai'an interjected, "Li Tang, when will the gift film you have now be released?"

"NO.16 this month."

February [-]th, the [-]th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, is a good day for breaking ground, repairing, opening a business, traveling, etc.

"Oh, that's coming soon, what about the shooting cycle?"

"The contract was signed for two months."

"Around mid-April."

Nai'an nodded, cast his eyes on Lou Ye, and gave him a meaningful look. Lou Ye blinked and his eyes met.

Li Tang noticed the flirtatious glances between the two, and couldn't help but thump in his heart. After all, Lou Ye has a girlfriend, who is also said to be a director, and they are already talking about marriage. What's the situation with these two?
Fortunately, Lou Ye quickly shifted his gaze to himself. He moved forward, adjusted his sitting posture, moved his lips, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Li Tang asked with great interest, "Brother Ye, what's the matter?"

Lou Ye pursed his lips, and said embarrassedly: "I do have something I want to ask for your help."

"What's the matter? I will help if I can." Li Tang said.

"Uh……"

Maybe Naian really didn't want Lou Ye to be so difficult, so he told Li Tang by himself: "Lou Ye is preparing a new movie recently, and I want you to help me play a role."

"Hey, brother Ye, there's nothing you can't say."

Only then did Li Tang suddenly realize, and at the same time he said excitedly: "To be honest, brother Ye, I really look forward to making your movie."

This is not a flattery, he really likes Lou Ye's movies very much.Maybe he can't completely deconstruct all the film language of the other party, and he can't speak clearly about the photography, art and other aspects of the film, but he feels that the actors in the other party's films are particularly relaxed, and there seems to be an unprecedented freedom.

An actor is very relaxed in the performance, which means that the actor enjoys the performance, and freedom is an extremely luxury for the actor.For any actor, this has to be tempted.

Lou Ye became very shy and said, "It's just that our budget is very limited..."

"..."

Li Tang was taken aback when he heard this, why does it sound like he is going to prostitute for nothing?
Naian on the side also apologized at this time: "Li Tang, the budget this time is really limited, and the salary may not be as good as you expected. I hope you can understand."

Oh, it turned out it wasn't a whore for nothing.

Only then did Li Tang secretly heave a sigh of relief.

It stands to reason that the Lou family has helped him a lot, and the two most important turning points in his life, exams and work, are not too much of a kindness.

Lou Ye asked him to make a movie, even if it was for nothing, it should be done.But since his last life, he has his own principles, money can be less, but he absolutely can't go whoring for nothing.

"It's okay! Brother Ye, Sister An, you have the final say." He laughed quickly.

Naian also laughed and said: "It seems that I am very incompetent as an agent, and the first play you took on for you made you suffer."

"I'd be happy to be in Brother Ye's movie, even if it costs a dollar."

Yes, as long as one dollar is not white prostitution.

"Brother Ye, what role am I playing, can I read the script first?"

"No, you can't see anything!"

This time Lou Ye's answer was unexpectedly straightforward.

Li Tang was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"I want the actors to be unknown before shooting."

There was no way to chat any more, and the two of them stared at each other for a while.

Li Tang is very puzzled, because in his two lifetimes of cognition, acting starts from the script, understanding, experience, character biography and other desk work, but he has never heard that actors cannot read the script before performing. I don't know what role I want to play.

Lou Ye also looked at Li Tang. He was very familiar with the person in front of him. He almost grew up watching him, but he was a stranger to the actor Li Tang.

The leading actors in his previous two films were popular stars. In his words at the time: If these actors want to, they can go to any director's play.

But these big stars chose to mix with him who was unknown at the time.

At that time, when he said these words, he was full of pride, self-confidence and high spirits.Consider yourself artistically recognized by these big stars.

Times have changed, and when he was about to pick up the guide again, the first person he wanted to find was the former star he had worked with in the first place.Although the star is long gone, he likes him very much and thinks he is a talented actor.

But this trip to the capital made him very disappointed. The outdated star has long been decadent, and even became addicted.The once irreplaceable literary stars in his mind have fallen, from angels to devils.

Then he remembered the back view of the motorcycle riding through the traffic. Of course, Li Tang's role as the leading actor in the gift film of Shanghai Film Studio accounted for a huge proportion. He didn't deny that this kid had something, but he still Very hesitant.

Until today, Naian's words made him make up his mind.

How much money do big things.

Yeah, art is expensive, and film art is extraordinarily expensive.

At this time, he suddenly thought of the girl sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle that day, and Li Tang said that she was also an actress.But soon he shook his head and denied his thoughts.

Too ripe, not good.

He hopes that the hero and heroine will be the same as in the play, everything starts from being strange.

Of course, it was impossible for Li Tang to know what Lou Ye was thinking, and it was also difficult for him to understand the strange brain circuit of the other party. Before he left, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "Brother Ye, what's the name of this play?"

Lou Ye pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Suzhou Creek."
