Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 212
After drinking, the time is a bit long.

Li Tang, who was sweating profusely from work, went to take another shower. It may be that part of the alcohol in his body was excreted with sweat, and he felt much more comfortable.

"Hey, are you really planning to stop acting for half a year?"

Xiaopang is currently on the rise. For a female star, the most precious thing is time.Half a year is enough for her to shoot two movies, and what is lost here is not only the salary, but also the exposure.If a female star does not have a work for a year or two, it will be easily forgotten by the audience. If she comes back again, she will be outdated at first glance, and everything will have to start from scratch.

Xiaopang frowned and said: "It still depends on the casting situation. If I am selected this time, I have already made preparations not to take the role for half a year. If I am not selected..."

Fatty didn't go any further, competing with a few newcomers, if he failed, it would be really embarrassing.

However, Li Tang still agrees with Xiaopang's decision. As an actor with a long-term vision, he should pay more attention to quality than quantity.Just like those big stars in the 2000 million club in Hollywood, they basically take on a play in one or two years. If there is no good script, it is possible to take on a play in two to three years.On the one hand, they are picky about the script, and on the other hand, they often need more than half a year to prepare for each play they receive, gaining weight and losing weight, getting familiar with everything about the characters, exploring the hearts of the characters, and so on.

Xiaopang doesn't want to talk about his own affairs, it's annoying.Originally, there was a famous Haiyan drama, but she spent a lot of energy preparing for it, but it ended up being misfired. This was due to force majeure. No one felt uncomfortable, but they had to accept it.

Then she changed the subject and asked, "How did you meet today, has the lead actor been chosen yet?"

Although Li Tang knew that the list Zhang Big Beard threw out today would probably be the final candidate, he still shook his head and said: "Today is for everyone to get to know each other and get acquainted with each other. The list of actors has to be discussed by Lao Zhang and the chief director."

"Hey, Teacher Zhang asked you to play Yang Kang, so you can play Yang Kang, why don't you fight for the number one male?" Xiaopang said again.

"Uh... this is not easy to fight for, and besides, I don't like the character Guo Jing," Li Tang said.

To be honest, Li Tang feels that he is far inferior to Xiaopang in terms of career ambition.For example, if it was me this time, I might have given up. Why would I have to compete with a bunch of newcomers?If you really don't have a good script, just look for it slowly, it's not worth it.

But Xiaopang said: "You are stupid, why don't you fight for it if you don't like it, this is a Jin Yong drama!"

As she spoke, she picked up her own script and said, "Actually, I don't like the peace of mind in it, but Sister Hong said that this script is better than the one I filmed last year, so I must fight for it."

"What's the peace of mind?"

"Oh, it's the character in this book, a girl named An Xin. Hey, take a look, just give me an idea."

"Leave it alone, I'll watch it tomorrow, go to sleep."

Haiyan dramas are very popular, but Li Tang doesn't like Haiyan's works very much, except for the earliest "Plainclothes Police", and even the popular "Never Close Your Eyes" a few years ago, including "Your Life Is So Passionate" played by Xiaopang ", he felt very hypocritical, sticky, unhappy, and tired of looking at it.

The next morning, Xiaopang went out early.It may be that during the filming of "The Third Person", Li Tang always complained about her lines and was stimulated. After returning to the capital this time, I specially asked the company to help her find a Chinese opera teacher, and I will give lines for two and a half days every week. class.

Li Tang got up in the morning and ran around, and practiced big guns for a while.The weather in Beijing is very good in May, unlike Shanghai which is always wet.And there is a yard that allows him to practice guns as he pleases.There is no such condition in Shanghai. When he lived in the urban area, he could only go to the nearby park to practice, and there were often onlookers. As his popularity became higher and higher, it was impossible to go to the park to practice guns. It is very troublesome to find a closed place.

After sending Xiaopang away, he made a pot of tea, picked up the script of "Jade Guanyin" and read it when he was bored.Didn't expect to see it.

At first he thought it was an urban love story of polyamorous love, but as An Xin recalled the past, Li Tang suddenly discovered that this was a writing technique of flashback and interlude, centering on the life-and-death relationship between a policewoman named An Xin and three men. Expand.

An Xin in the story is a very contradictory character. She is not only a law enforcement officer, but also a passionate woman longing for love. The men around her can't grasp her, but they are willing to go forward for her.

To be honest, Haiyan's novels often have strong authenticity when describing the profession of the police, which has something to do with him being a policeman himself.But he is always too hypocritical and sticky when describing the relationship between men and women, which is what Li Tang dislikes the most.

However, from this script, Li Tang couldn't see anything that he didn't like. On the contrary, the character of An Xin was portrayed extremely real, vivid, and flesh and blood.

For a whole morning, he sat there without moving, finished reading the nearly 30-character script in one breath, took a sip of the cold tea, and looked at the jujube tree that had already produced small fruits outside the window, thinking Images of his own imagination kept flashing in his mind, and An Xin had been replaced by Xiaopang's face.

But gradually he frowned, because the woman described in the script, who is calm on the outside but turbulent on the inside (commonly known as "Men Sao"), who accepts the arrangement of fate but lives a strong life, really cannot be compared with the woman he knows in real life. Xiaopang contacted.

He instinctively imagined An Xin as Yuan Quan, or he could barely get the image of his ex-girlfriend, but he couldn't imagine An Xin as Chubby.

At this time, he can probably understand that Hairun Company did not list Xiaopang as a candidate for peace of mind from the beginning, and the so-called casting may be just a formality to appease Chang Jihong.

But he has to admit that the character of An Xin is written too well, the absolute heroine, and the emotional entanglements with the three men, to put it bluntly, these three male characters are all serving the character An Xin.

At this moment, he finally understood why Xiaopang would fight for this role even if he didn't take the role for half a year. If he were Xiaopang, he would definitely do this, just like he competed for the role of Linghu Chong last year.

The previous recognition was an actor's attitude, but the understanding at this time is the pursuit and ambition of an actor.

"I am back!"

The door of the small courtyard was pushed open with a bang, and Xiaopang walked in with steps that no relatives recognized.

"I'm here."

Li Tang, who was sitting in the restaurant in the East Wing, responded.

Xiaopang walked in and saw him sitting at the long dining table with his eyes straight. The ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts. He couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

When she saw the script next to her, she immediately smiled and said, "Hey, how do you feel after reading the script?"

"very good!"

Li Tang looked serious, and then asked curiously, "Why don't you like An Xin?"

Fatty sat down, picked up Li Tang's teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking it, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What kind of tea are you drinking? It's too bitter!"

The tea made in the morning was cold and bitter without refilling the water.

"An Xin is just like this tea, it's too bitter, I don't want to be a person like An Xin myself."

Li Tang nodded. Of course he also understood why Xiaopang didn't like this role and insisted on playing it. Before, he thought Xiaopang was just taking a gamble, but after reading the script, he knew that An Xin was a very good character. Even if he didn't like it, he still wanted to play it. play.

At this time, he hesitated and said: "But... I don't think you can play the role of An Xin."

"why?"

Xiaopang was surprised at first, but then he was very upset and said: "Why do you say that I can't act? Could it be that I'm not as good as those fledgling girls?"

In terms of age, Xiaopang may be younger than the few newcomers she mentioned, but there is no way she debuted early, and those who are younger than her have to call her: "Sister Bingbing!"

Li Tang looked at Xiaopang who was full of dissatisfaction, looked her up and down again, and said, "If you really want to play this role, you have to put in a lot of effort..."

"Why don't I try harder?"

Fatty defended: "I'm taking acting lessons now, and I plan to stop acting for half a year, just to fight for this role, and I also plan to learn Taekwondo."

An Xin in the script is a taekwondo master and won the provincial taekwondo champion when she was in middle school.

Li Tang shook his head and said, "It's not enough. If you really want to win this role, you must first change your image. If you want to lose weight, you must lose weight first."

"Huh? I've lost weight now, only 105 catties."

Compared with her peak weight of 138 catties, she is really thin now.

Li Tang still shook his head and said, "Not enough, at least ten catties must be lost."

Certainly not enough, An Xin is a girl from the southwestern border, thin and thin is Li Tang's first impression of this character.The biggest disadvantage of Xiaopang now is that she is a typical northern girl with a large frame, and her height of 1.6 meters 1.5 is considered tall among the vast group of Chinese women whose average height is [-] meters [-].

There is no way to change the height, so in order to fit the character image, she must be thin.

I have to lose ten catties, wouldn't I be a paper man?

Before Xiaopang opened his mouth in shock, Li Tang continued, "Not only do you have to lose weight, you have to learn Taekwondo, you also have to learn how to cook, do housework and clean up. An Xin is a very strong and capable person. Endurance is something engraved in your bones, and you are not good enough."

One sentence blocked all Xiaopang's rebuttals, and she couldn't say it. She had read the script several times, so she naturally understood what Li Tang meant.Before, she was full of thoughts about how to play this character well. As for the details mentioned by Li Tang, she ignored them, or she was limited by her cultural level, and she could not understand the character more deeply from the script.
