Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 184
When the plane circled and landed over the capital, the clouds were low and gray, and occasionally some lights could be seen through the gaps.After winter, the air quality in the capital is very poor. According to Li Tang's mood, of course he will fly directly to Shanghai, but there are too many things in the capital, so he can only stay for a while.

When he walked out with his luggage, he saw Zeng Jia's tall figure at the airport pick-up gate.

"Brother Li!"

Zeng Jia beckoned and stepped forward to take the suitcase he was pushing.

"No need, I'll do it myself. Xiao Zeng, I'm sorry to trouble you." Li Tang avoided her outstretched hand.

On the one hand, he is not used to letting a girl push his luggage, on the other hand, he is still a little rusty or instinctively keeps a distance.

Zeng Jia had no choice but to say: "The car is parked outside."

Walking out of the waiting hall, there is a brand new Buick business car parked by the side of the road. This is a new model that Shanghai GM just launched in May this year.

A solid-looking middle-aged man was already waiting by the car, and when he saw Li Tang and Zeng Jia coming out, he rushed up to meet them.

"Zeng Li! Li... Uh, Mr. Li!"

"This is the company's driver, Master Shen Lin." Zeng Jia introduced.

"Master Shen, hard work!"

"It should be, it should be."

The driver named Shen Lin spoke with a mouthful of Beijing movies, and then took the suitcase from Li Tang's hand: "I'll put the suitcase in the car."

Zeng Jia opened the side door: "Brother Li, please get in the car."

Li Tang got into the car and took a look. It turned out to be a flagship model with a small TV behind the chair, and it cost about 40 yuan to land.

"Yo, sister An spent quite a lot this time."

Zeng Jia who was sitting next to her pursed her lips and said, "This car is for you, and Master Shen is your full-time driver."

Li Tang was taken aback, and said: "It's not necessary, I can't go to the capital a few times a year."

A smile appeared on the corner of Zeng Jia's mouth, and he took out a folder from his bag and handed it to him, "Brother Li, you may have to stay in the capital for at least this time."

"Anything else?"

Li Tang took the folder suspiciously, opened it and looked at it. This is his work schedule during this period, except for the known computer commercials with Xu Qing and the signing event of "Xiaoxiaoaoao 365" In addition, there are actually two other commercials to be filmed, as well as four or five commercial performances.Arranged in this way, from the day after tomorrow until the Chinese New Year next month, the work schedule is basically full.

Zeng Jia explained from the side: "These two advertising endorsements are carefully selected by the company. On the one hand, the price they offer is not low. On the other hand, these two are domestic well-known brands, and they will be launched in large quantities next year, which will help to increase exposure.”

There are two advertisements, one is a domestic suit brand, Li Tang has seen this brand counter in a shopping mall, it can be regarded as a famous brand in the domestic clothing field.

The other one is actually Jiannanchun, which is currently a liquor brand second only to Moutai and Wuliangye.Obviously, they are also optimistic about the prospects of "Swordsman". Does Linghu Chong like wine? It is indeed a good gimmick.

"How much are they asking for?"

"A suit is 100 million, and Jiannanchun is 60. Suit brands require that they must wear their brand's suits in public during the endorsement period."

Li Tang nodded. As long as it is an endorsement of a clothing brand, there will definitely be requirements in this regard, which is the same as an NBA athlete's endorsement of a sneaker advertisement.

These two advertisements plus the already finalized advertisement of the computer brand endorsed by Xu Qing, totaled 240 million.The brokerage contract signed by Li Tang and Nai'an is 140% to [-]% of the film remuneration, and [-]% from the advertising endorsement. In this way, he can personally earn [-] million.

Finally seeing the money, Li Tang really felt the treatment of a star at this time.It was just that there were still four or five commercial performances, and Li Tang was a little bit conflicted, but how should I put it, the company provides both cars and drivers, so it has to help the company make money.

Li Tang handed the folder back to Zeng Jia, thought for a while, and asked a little worried, "What about the income tax for that person?"

Zeng Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, these are after tax."

Although the current domestic tax system is not comparable to that of the United States, and there are too many loopholes that can be exploited, Li Tang still told Zeng Jia: "I don't care about pre-tax or post-tax, anyway, it must be legal and cannot be challenged. Something went wrong. It doesn’t matter if you pay more taxes, just don’t have sequelae.”

Seeing Li Tang's serious face, Zeng Jia thought of Aunt Xiaoqing's arrest for tax evasion in June this year (Of course, Aunt Xiaoqing's arrest had a deeper reason, tax evasion was just a superficial name ).Xiao Zeng immediately nodded seriously and said, "I see."

As an agent, it is important to strive for the best interests of actors, but obeying the law is the premise and bottom line.

Zeng Jia was somewhat surprised by Li Tang's attitude. After all, few people talk about paying taxes these days, and they just run away when they can.But at the same time, I feel relieved that I have followed the right person.

After more than 20 minutes, the commercial vehicle parked steadily at the gate of the courtyard in Paoju Hutong.

Master Shen helped to move the luggage into the house. Li Tang looked around the house that had not been lived in for more than a month.

When parting, Zeng Jia said: "Brother Li, do I need to leave the car for you?"

Li Tang was a little tempted, but then he thought he couldn't let the two of them take a taxi back. In addition, he was not very confident about the current traffic situation in the capital.

"No, you go back."

"Then what's the matter, you can call me at any time, and can I pick you up at one o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow?"

The day after tomorrow, Li Tang made an appointment to meet with the people from the advertising company, and Li Tang nodded to express that he had no objection.

The bathtub was polished very well, and Li Tang filled the bathtub with water for a rare soak. The return train backed up, and the journey was exhausting.

Recalling what happened just now, although he felt a little repulsed by Zeng Jia, he had to admit that she did a very good job, much better than Naian at that time, and there were some things that she didn’t need to order, such as cleaning the house , Even the bathtub was polished, otherwise he probably wouldn't be in the mood to take a bath, just a simple rinse would do.

Although I will be busy in the future, but thinking that I will receive a large sum of money soon, my mood will suddenly be much better.

The heating in the room was turned on in advance, and I took a comfortable bath to wash away my fatigue and dust.Putting on a bathrobe, making a cup of tea, and sitting on the sofa, he picked up the copy of "Southern Weekend" that Zeng Jia had left behind.

Zhang Jie’s interview with him was already published in Southern Weekend last week, because he had been filming in the mountains during that time and hadn’t seen it yet.

Supplement, front page, huge headline "Interview: Actor Li Tang is secretly enchanting"

Huh, this title is very interesting, Li Tang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to read on.

It should be said that Zhang Jie's writing style is very good. The first choice is to review Li Tang's growth process and enumerate his works. Of course, the focus must be on "Swordsman", which will be broadcast after the Spring Festival.

The concluding remarks also quoted his original words in the interview at that time: "Actors are lucky, when they are the best screenwriter, the best director, the best cameraman, the best lighting, and the best props , The kind of atmosphere they created for you, once you enter it, act in it, and then present it, show it to everyone on the screen, and watch it for yourself, it feels so good!"

Throughout the article, there is no excessive exaggeration, no belittling, and no big fuss about emotional issues. It is very plain, and the content is basically what the two talked about during the interview.It's just between the lines that he still reveals his strong expectations for him as an actor.

To be honest, Li Tang felt a little uneasy after watching it, as if he still couldn't bear the title of the so-called leading actor of the new generation of actors.But he likes the title "Secretly Enchanting" very much, because few people can describe Mensao so freshly and refinedly.

Since it was Mensao, he unconsciously picked up his phone and flipped through the stored address book.

Since Xiaopang signed Chang Jihong, he has completely opened up his work situation.It can be seen that Chang Jihong is really cultivating her as the next Jiang Wenli, with constant film appointments. Just after she made a cameo appearance in a big drama of Hairun Company, she also received the role of the second female lead in a large period TV series.

It is said that romances in the entertainment industry gather less and leave more, there are too many temptations, and they will not last long.Li Tang felt this deeply at this time, and after finally returning from filming, there was always a lack of people around him.

When he turned to the name of his ex-girlfriend, his hand stopped, and after a little hesitation, he edited a text message and sent it.

"What are you doing?"

The reply was quick, with the same three words: "I'm at home."

"I just returned to the capital."

About 2 minutes later.

"Where's your little Bingbing?"

"Going to filming."

About 5 minutes later, just when Li Tang was getting impatient, a reply came: "Xiuxiu is here."

"Come to me."

After sending this message there was no reply.

After flipping through the newspaper for a while, and then looking at the phone, I thought about sending another one, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

Just as he was brushing his teeth and getting ready for bed, the phone rang.

Seeing that it was a call from his ex-girlfriend, he hurriedly answered it, but before he could speak, he heard: "Here we are, open the door."

　Make up for the second update yesterday, sorry, Shenhua lost last night, and lost again.After drinking some wine, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep early.This update makes up for yesterday's update, and there are two more updates today.
