Chapter 175 Getting Ready to Shoot

When Li Tang woke up, he felt dizzy, but it didn't hurt.I raised my wrist and looked at the watch. The luminous light showed that it was almost 06:30, but there was a little light outside the window, so it was probably dawn.

He turned his head and glanced at the bed next to him. The quilt was raised and it was quiet.He put on his clothes and got up lightly.

"Snapped!"

The light in the room was turned on, and the person on the bed next to him also sat up at this moment.

"It's so early, Xiao Li!"

This guy was in his early sixties, with a face full of frowns and bitter hatred.

"Teacher Ge, I'm sorry to wake you up." Li Tang hurriedly apologized.

Teacher Ge waved his hands and smiled, "No, I don't sleep much when I'm old, but I wake up early when I'm hungry, so I just stay in bed."

The teacher obviously spoke with a Shaanxi accent, and then asked: "This is your first time in Shaanxi, are you still used to it?"

Li Tang scratched his scalp and said: "I have been to Xi'an twice before, both for tourism, but this is really the first time I have come here. They are all very good, and the noodles are also delicious, but the old Yulin last night was too energetic. Still dizzy."

I have been here twice before in my previous life, but this is the first time for the original body to come to the northwest of the motherland.

"Haha, you were okay last night. In my opinion, apart from Biaozi, you are the one with the best drinking capacity. You actually had a hard time on the road yesterday." Teacher Ge laughed.

Li Tang followed Xiao Teng and they were the last group to enter the group. They really had a hard time on the road yesterday.Yesterday morning, I took a two-and-a-half-hour flight from the capital to Xi’an, then went into the city to go to the train station, and took another seven-hour green leather train to Yulin, the northernmost city in Shaanxi.

It was already dark when we arrived at the hotel where the crew stayed.The directors who arrived first, including the two leading actors Mr. Ge Zhijun and Fu Biao, and other colleagues in the crew were very enthusiastic, and specially set up two tables for them to welcome them.

Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Li Tang became a little dizzy from drinking if he didn't pay attention, and finally returned to his room with the help of his roommate, Teacher Ge.

The crew had limited funds, so of course they couldn't afford to live in a star-rated hotel, so they rented two floors in a hotel in the old city of Yulin, with a total of more than 20 rooms, accommodating nearly 60 crew members.

The crew of less than [-] people is probably the smallest crew that Li Tang has ever worked for.In the final analysis, there is no money, and everything must be calculated carefully.

Director Qi Xin was different from Li Tang's imagination. He was not the kind of bureaucrat who only knew how to speak bureaucrats. He looked in his early 30s and early [-]s, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and his conversation was very elegant.The most important thing is to have something to say and a deep understanding of the script. It is not like just wanting to be a director, but really doing something seriously.

The temperature here is close to zero in the morning, white smoke is emitted when exhaling, the streets of the old city are undulating, and the beacon tower of the ancient Great Wall can be seen in the distance.I heard from the director last night that the Mu Us Desert is just outside the Great Wall, and there are often sandstorms in spring and autumn.

Li Tang ran along the old street for two laps, and he didn't feel cold at all when he was exercising, and even his head was still steaming.

Back at the hotel, I happened to meet Fu Biao who was going out for breakfast in the corridor.It was the first time he and Fu Biao met last night, and he came here early to experience life as early as the beginning of the month.

"Hey, Xiao Li, it's so early!"

As soon as Fu Biao saw Li Tang, his eyes narrowed, and he greeted with a smile. He also looked at Li Tang, who was wearing thin clothes and steaming from the top of his head, and said enviously, "You are young after all, but you are full of anger!"

"Brother Biao, you're early too!"

Although it was the first time they met last night, the two of them have become very familiar after a meal of wine.

Fu Biao can also be regarded as a child of the big courtyard, but he does not have the arrogance of the children of the big courtyard.

In fact, despite the label of a comedian in Feng's comedy, Li Tang first met him on the screen, as the vicious third child in "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge" directed by Zhang Yimou.

One more thing to say about Director Zhang's "Shake Ah Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge" was produced in cooperation with the Shanghai Film Studio, but it was controversial after it was released. It is generally considered to be a poor film by Director Zhang.

Li Tang revisited the movie after time travel, Gong Li's performance was as brilliant as ever, and Li Xuejian and Li Baotian's performances were absolutely magnificent.He really doesn't understand the domestic audience, or more precisely, the critical domestic media and film critics' appetite for watching movies and how high the standard of judging movies is, and they will criticize such an excellent movie .

"Hey, Xiao Li, come down for breakfast later?"

The restaurant is on the ground floor of the hotel, and all meals for the crew are settled here.

"Well, I'll come down after taking a shower."

"Then what do you eat, I'll cheer you up in advance." Fu Biao said enthusiastically.

Without even thinking about it, Li Tang said directly, "Oil-splashed noodles."

How can you not taste the specialties here when you arrive in northern Shaanxi?
Fu Biao immediately gave him a thumbs up and said, "Smart!"

Then he did not forget to take care of him: "Then hurry up, it won't taste good if it gets mushy."

"Okay!"

Back in the room, the old man had already changed into a costume. He was wearing a [-]-style yellow military cap on his head. The most striking thing on his upper body was the collar of the blue high-necked old-fashioned pullover sweater that was protruding from his neck. On the outside is a loose orange woolen cardigan, and on the outside is an army green old-fashioned public security vest, and finally a black Chinese tunic suit.What's interesting is that the collar of this Chinese tunic is also inlaid with a circle of yellow wool, which may be to keep warm and protect the collar into one.

The old man's well-dressed suit is exactly the image of Li Gongan described in the script.

The old man was also about to go out, when he saw Li Tang coming in, he pointed to his bed and said, "The clothes are also brought over for you, you can change into them later to feel the characters. Oh, by the way, what do you want for breakfast?" "

"Thank you, Teacher Ge, don't bother me. I just met Brother Biao, and he has already called for me."

"Oh, go down first when you're hungry."

As soon as the old man left, Li Tang quickly took off his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The costumes are probably prepared except for the inside and outside of the underwear, a plaid shirt, an old but thick flat collar sweater, and a brown leather jacket.

The trousers are ordinary blue trousers, but the trouser legs are a bit fat, and there is also a pair of pull-back brand basketball shoes.

Li Tang dressed in front of the mirror, and deliberately turned the collar of the plaid shirt over the flat-neck sweater.The memory of the original body told him that this kind of dress was very fashionable in the early 90s.

After wearing it, I looked at it carefully in the mirror again, with the unique fashion of that era in the rustic style.

Yes, Not Bad!

Satisfied, he went out and went downstairs.

"Xiao Li, hurry up, the noodles have just been served." Fu Biao quickly raised his hand when he saw his figure.

Each person has a bowl of hot oil-splashed noodles, and there are also seasonings such as spicy peppers and vinegar on the table.

Li Tang suddenly thought of a line in the play, so he asked Fu Biao who was sitting opposite and was mixing noodles: "Do you want spicy rice?"

"want!"

"I come!"

Li Tang picked up the fried red chili peppers, spooned the top chili oil and evenly sprinkled it on his bowl of noodles.

He asked again, "Do you want vinegar?"

Fu Biao seemed to have come to his senses, deliberately ignoring Li Tang and saying, "Yes!"

"Do you want beer?"

Fu Biao quickly mixed two more noodles and ate the noodles. Hearing Li Tang's question, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes!"

Li Tang suddenly stopped talking and looked at him quietly.

After two or three seconds, until Fu Biao swallowed the noodles in his mouth, he suddenly realized something was wrong, raised his head timidly, saw Li Tang's expressionless face, and hurriedly said, "No!"

As soon as Fu Biao's voice fell, there was the sound of clapping hands next to him.

It turned out that the director Qi Xin was sitting at the table next to him. He was just watching the interaction between the two with great interest, and couldn't help applauding when he saw the exciting part.The key point is that Fu Biao's performance is so wonderful, especially the scene when he raised his head to look at Li Tang tremblingly is very joyful.

Of course, he did not forget to praise Li Tang and said, "Little Li, you prepared well, but you also stole Gongan Li's scene."

It turns out that the first line in the script asking "Do you want spicy food?"

When Fu Biao buried his head and shouted "Yes" as a matter of course, Li Tang, who had been watching coldly, couldn't stand it anymore. He had never been used to Li Gongan's greetings to criminals, so he grabbed the vinegar pot and poured vinegar into Fu Biao's noodle bowl. , while deliberately asking him: "Do you want beer?"

This scene is the beginning of the two completely different attitudes of Li Gongan and Zhang Gongan played by Li Tang towards the criminals under escort.

Hearing the director's praise at this time, Li Tang also said a little shyly: "Director, I'm just playing around with Brother Biao."

Director Qi Xin personally selected Ge Zhijun, who played Li Gongan, and Fu Biao, who played the fraudster Yu Tai. Of course, he was quite pleasantly surprised by Li Tang recommended by director Xiao Teng.

Although the investment in the film is not large, every director wants to make money from the film he makes. Fu Biao, who is currently popular, is chosen out of box office considerations. Now Li Tang is the icing on the cake.

Although Li Tang said it was just a joke, Qi Xin nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the two of them: "Bao Ningbao has almost done it, and it's okay to put the first scene there after the start tomorrow." Bar?"

There is a small farmyard in Fort Baoning. The artists and props of the production crew have been busy there for more than a week. It is the hiding place of the fraudster Yu Tai played by Fu Biao. The villagers there are all killed by Yu Tai and His accomplice had cheated him of money, so he was detained and would not let him go.However, Publican Li and Publican Zhang alarmed the villagers by entering the village to arrest people, so they chased and intercepted them one after another to prevent them from taking Fu Biao away. Fortunately, Publican Li had rich experience and escaped the villagers' pursuit. escaped from the village in a narrow escape.

Fu Biao said, "I'm fine."

Qi Xin turned his attention to Li Tang again. In fact, he mainly asked Li Tang.

Li Tang pondered for a while, then said conservatively: "My side...uh, you can try."

　The first!
