Chapter 195
Shanghai Film Studio Director's Studio.

Xu Guangtou flipped through a stack of shot sketches, and said in his mouth, "That's great, the drawing is really good!"

Ever since he read the script, he would run here every now and then whenever he was free, and kept yelling: "I am the best candidate to play He Wei, and Li Tang is more suitable to play Lin Mo than myself."

He also often discussed the script with Li Tang and Cheng Er based on his own understanding, and he also put forward a lot of constructive suggestions.As the saying goes: When many people gather firewood, a flame goes high.At the same time, the production team also needs such a creative atmosphere. Only when everyone works together can things be done well.

For Cheng Er, the director of his own studio, Shanghai Film Studio does not need to invest in it himself, and then he wants to shoot "The Third Man", of course he supports it with both hands.The key is that "The Third Man" also received funding from the HBF Fund. No matter how much the amount is, the fact that the directors in the system of his own factory can be recognized by foreign film funds is a resounding political achievement.

Therefore, the factory gave green lights all the way to the site, personnel, equipment, including the factory logo, which can be regarded as the greatest support for Cheng Er.

Although there are inevitably some jealous noises in the factory, in the final analysis, people raise their own funds.These days, if you have money, you are an uncle, and it is useless to say anything.

"If you have the ability, you can also get a sum of money, and the factory will support you even more."

One word can shut everyone's mouth.

Xu Guangtou also worked as a director at the drama center before. For example, "The Color of Stock" and the French comedy "Art" were all directed and acted by him, including the filming of "Li Wei as an Official", he was almost half of the director.

But no matter whether it is a drama or a TV series, it is different from a movie. His so-called director is more about the guidance of the performance.For a real film director, directing actors’ physical and emotional expression is only one aspect of the director’s work. In addition, they must also master the selection of sight lines, the scheduling of light, the composition of the screen, the logic of editing, the matching of sound, and many other professional things. .Baldy Xu was lacking in this regard.

So he was willing to join Cheng Er's side to learn some professional things.

A few days ago, he was also driving his little Sail with Cheng Er, art designer Sun Li, and photographer Wang Yu to scout around. Today is a summary meeting of stage work, but he looked around but didn’t see anything. With the figure of Li Tang, he couldn't help asking: "Hey, where's the big boss?"

Because Li Tang invested the most this time, he was dubbed the "big boss" by everyone, so Cheng Er naturally became the "second boss".

Originally, no one paid attention to whether the big boss was there, but when he asked, everyone's eyes naturally focused on Zeng Jia who was doing calculations with a calculator.

Zeng Jia flicked her long hair that fell down, and said, "Brother Li, I have something to go to the capital."

It was supposed to be a one-sentence matter, but Xu Guangtou's mouth was cheap, and he said: "The red guy is in a good mood!"

Others may not care about it, but Zeng Jia quit. She glanced at him and said, "Brother Li received a call from Director Zhang Yimou yesterday, saying that he has something to do."

Director Zhang Yimou, as soon as these five words came out, the room fell silent.

These people in the room are all eating film and television. Director Zhang Yimou is undoubtedly one of the top practitioners in this industry.They looked at Zeng Jia full of shock, envy, and even fanaticism.

"..."

Baldy Xu opened his mouth even more, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He just casually said that he knew about the relationship between Li Tang and Fan Xiaopang, and that long-distance relationships are very uncomfortable, and he has personally experienced this.The phrase "I'm in a good mood" is nothing more than judging others by oneself. I guess Li Tang couldn't help but find a girlfriend.

But he never expected that this would be the case, and he suddenly felt sour and at the same time felt a deep sense of powerlessness, feeling that the gap between himself and Li Tang seemed to be widening.

Seeing Xu Guangtou's wonderful expression, Zeng Jia was secretly proud.After getting along during this period of time, she knew a little bit about Xu Guangtou. Shrewd, stingy, lustful, envious, and jealous, these words can be applied to him.Zeng Jia was very happy to have a chance to stimulate him.

Before everyone could react, Cheng Er asked, "Brother Li, did you audition?"

Now his mind is full of his own movie, and when he heard that Li Tang went to the capital to meet Zhang Yimou, he was afraid that it would affect his movie.

Zeng Jia said: "I don't know, Li Tang said before leaving yesterday that director Zhang Yimou wanted to talk to him."

Cheng Er breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still asked worriedly, "Then when will he come back?"

"Brother Li didn't say anything, it's probably only two or three days."

At this moment, Xu Guangtou finally calmed down his violent reaction, and pretended to be calm, "Didn't you hear that Director Zhang is preparing a new movie?"

On the contrary, Wang Yu, who has been in the film industry in Beijing all the year round, said thoughtfully: "I have heard for a long time that Director Zhang is going to make a movie about martial arts, and some time ago I also heard that the new screen will hold back a big move this time. The news is true."

Wang Yu's words immediately enlivened the atmosphere in the room.

"Hey, it looks like Brother Li was picked by Director Zhang this time!"

"Brother Li is so popular now, Director Zhang has no reason not to see it. And martial arts movies are just right!"

"Actually, Brother Li and Director Zhang have always had a good relationship. Don't forget that during the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Festival last year, Brother Li walked the red carpet with Director Zhang. At that time, the two were talking and laughing."

The more people talked, the more outrageous it became. It seems that Li Tang is already the number one male in Zhang Yimou's next film, and maybe he will shine in international film festivals like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi in the future.

Xu Guangtou opened his mouth a little unwillingly. Maybe he is the only one who knows that Li Tang and director Zhang Yimou probably have nothing to do with each other, but at this time, it seems a bit inappropriate to go against everyone's tune and defend himself.

……

Just as everyone was discussing, Li Tang followed Zhou Wei into the villa.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the layout of the office. There are several rows of partitioned desks in the open living room, and many staff members are busy. There are several rows next to them, hanging all kinds of ancient costumes, and there are some black helmets on them. On a mannequin.

"Teacher Li Tang, please go upstairs."

Li Tang and Zhou Wei walked up the spiral staircase and came to a small living room on the second floor, where three middle-aged men were sitting chatting. Seeing Li Tang coming in, the middle-aged man sitting in the middle stood up very naturally. He smiled familiarly: "Haha, our Linghu Chong is here!"

"Mr. Zhang, hello!"

Li Tang hurriedly trotted, took a few steps, and held Zhang Weiping's hand with both hands.

Just kidding, now he is a big boss.His cooperation with director Zhang Yimou is a bit like the combination of Spielberg and Katzenberg that Hollywood once wrote a legend.

At this time, the other two also stood up. One was very short, estimated to be no more than 1.6 meters, and was more than a head short of standing next to the burly Zhang Weiping.

The other one has a simple and honest appearance, very similar to Gao Xixi, a friend of Senior Lu who worked as a director in the Kongzheng Art Troupe.

"This is Mr. Jiang from Hong Kong Anle Film and Television."

The little man turned out to be the famous Jiang Ershao, the producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Mr. Jiang, hello!"

"Hello there!"

Second Young Master Jiang's expression was calm, and he looked up at Li Tang.

"This is Director Cheng Xiaodong, a famous action director in Hong Kong."

"Director Cheng, hello!"

"Hello! I have watched your performance of "Swordsman", it is very good!"

Compared with Jiang Ershao's strong Hong Kong accent, Cheng Xiaodong can speak Beijing movies fluently.

Hearing him mention "Swordsman", Li Tang remembered at this moment that the other party was the action director of the two movie versions of "Swordsman", and also the director of "Swordsman 2: Invincible in the East".

"You have won the prize. Compared to Brother Jie's Linghu Chong, I am still far behind." Li Tang hurriedly said modestly.

Thinking that Li Lianlian is the best male number one in "Heroes", I have to praise him after all.

Seeing Li Tang's humble attitude, Cheng Xiaodong nodded and asked again, "Have you practiced?"

"It's been practiced, but not very good."

At this time Zhang Weiping interjected: "Li Tang's swordsmanship is good, and he even performed it at the Huabiao Award Ceremony."

Li Tang clasped his hands together, gestured to Zhang Weiping to express his thanks, and continued: "I studied Sanda for a few years before, and then I slowly came into contact with martial arts. I learned some boxing and sword skills, and I have been practicing big guns for the past two years."

"Big gun?"

Cheng Xiaodong's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked, "What marksmanship did you practice?"

"Zhao Zilong's eighteen spears, Wu Mu's thirteen spears, Tai Chi's thirteen spears, and..."

Having said that, Li Tang deliberately paused.

Cheng Xiaodong didn't take it seriously when he heard Zhao Zilong's [-]th Spear and Wu Mu's [-]th Spear. After all, these two sets of marksmanship are very popular. Anyone who knows how to shoot a spear will say that they have practiced it, but most of them are empty-handed.

When he heard the Tai Chi Thirteen Spears, he was slightly moved. Seeing that Li Tang hesitated to speak, he quickly asked, "What else?"

Li Tang scratched his scalp and said shyly, "Uh... besides, it's not considered a formal marksmanship, but I was lucky enough to work with Master Yu Chenghui during the filming of "Swordsman", so I learned a few moves from him."

"Master Yu Chenghui, is this the way to play?" Cheng Xiaodong asked hurriedly.

As a martial arts instructor, of course he knows Yu Chenghui, and he also knows that this old man has real kung fu.

Li Tang nodded, and said again: "Actually, the Tai Chi Thirteen Spears I practiced are also counted as a style of play. I learned it from Wu Jing, and it was passed down by their family."

Wu Style Tai Chi Thirteen Spears may not be known to many outsiders, but Cheng Xiaodong does know, a smile appeared on his face, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Not bad, not bad, wait for Director Zhang to come later, show us. "

Next to Zhang Weiping and Jiang Ershao had been listening to the conversation between Cheng Xiaodong and Li Tang, and they looked at each other, Zhang Weiping was obviously smiling with satisfaction, while Jiang Ershao looked a little ugly.
