Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 215 Balzac and the Little Tailor
Coming out of the hotel, Zhou Xun said, "I'm sorry, I delayed your schedule."

"It's okay, I haven't thanked you yet, you can still think of me for such a good thing." Li Tang clapped the script in his hand.

Zhou Xun said seriously: "I was very moved after reading this script. I haven't tried a role like a little tailor. And when I saw Ma Jianling and Luo Ming in it, I immediately thought of you. Actually..."

Speaking of this, she looked at Chen Kun next to her a little embarrassedly, and said, "Actually, I think you are more suitable for Luo Ming, but Kun'er took the lead."

Chen Kun's expression was obviously a little embarrassed, and he said bravely, "I'm sorry, Brother Li."

Li Tang just took a rough look at the outline of the story, which is about two educated youths and the little tailor who is the granddaughter of an old tailor in the village.Two vigorous young men fell in love with a beautiful and cheerful young tailor at the same time.Ma Jianling is relatively introverted, burying her love deeply in her heart.On the other hand, Luo Ming took the initiative and bravely expressed his love to the little tailor.

In fact, according to Li Tang's personality, as Zhou Xun said, Luo Ming is more suitable for the role.The restrained Ma Jianling is closer to Ma Da in "Suzhou Creek".

No wonder Lian Dai Sijie said that he is more suitable to play Ma Jianling.

Of course, this is only the appearance drawn from the outline of the story, so when he heard Chen Kun's apology, Li Tang smiled and said: "It's okay, I haven't read the script yet, maybe I think it is indeed more suitable to play Ma Jianling."

After saying goodbye to the two, Li Tang didn't let Shen Lin drive right away. He called Zeng Jia while sitting in the car, and told her what happened just now.

"There must be no problem with the schedule, Brother Li, what do you think?"

"Of course I'd have to read the script before deciding."

"Then let me inquire. Brother Li, are you leaving now?"

"Of course I'm leaving."

"Then I'll ask the airline to see what is the fastest flight."

The flights between Beijing and Shanghai are very busy, basically every half an hour, but it is not necessarily the same airline.

After a while, Zeng Jia called to refund the originally changed ticket and book a new one.

Li Tang originally wanted to make a call to Fan Xiaopang, but he figured out that she was taking an acting class at the moment, so he didn't want to bother her.

……

"call……"

As the plane circled over Pudong Airport and landed slowly, Li Tang let out a long sigh of relief. Two hours was just enough for him to finish reading the script.

He knew it was a scar literature book after reading the plot summary before.

Li Tang is no stranger to the educated youth in both his lifetimes, because his parents were educated youths in the previous life, and Lao Li and many of Lao Li's friends are also educated youths in the memory of the original body.

And they have different understandings of the educated youth. For example, his parents in the previous life often recalled the life of the educated youth with resentment towards that era, and described their life as an educated youth in a miserable way.

But Lao Li is just the opposite. In his words, even in Jiangxi, he still lives like a fish in water, neither hungry nor cold.The fragrant rice, the fish and shrimp caught in the river, and the game hunted in the mountains all made him talk about it with gusto.But what makes him most proud is that he also married the most beautiful girl among the educated youths and gave birth to a promising son.

Obviously, the life of the educated youth described by Dai Sijie in the script is similar to that described by his parents in his previous life.It is not surprising that Dai Sijie was one of the first batch of international students to study in France after the re-opening, and finally settled down and naturalized as French Chinese.

Because they are the same kind of people.

Li Tang has never experienced that era. Although he was originally born in Jiangxi, he has no memory of that time because he was too young.All his current understanding of educated youth comes from the stories of his parents and the so-called scar literature that was popular in the 80s.So he himself did not have much say in that era.

Moreover, the life of the educated youth described by Dai Sijie is in the deep mountains of western Sichuan, which is definitely not as good as Jiangxi, a land of fish and rice.

The biggest reason why this script did not disgust Li Tang is that Dai Sijie did not blindly complain, but just took that crazy era as the background, and used this heavy history as the object of good-natured ridicule with a relaxed and humorous attitude.

The violin-playing Ma Jianling described in the script eventually became a musician living in France. Li Tang felt that Ma Jianling might be Dai Sijie himself.And that "Balzac and the Little Chinese Tailor" may be his memory or fantasy of his youth.

When the plane landed at Pudong Airport, the lights were already on, and there was no one to pick up the plane, so we took a taxi back to the city.

"Hey, big star, Jiaoguan Chenguang hasn't come (for a long time)!"

Walking into the small Guangdong dim sum shop, the owner greeted him warmly.

"What do you want to eat?"

"One person, just get a little."

"Do you want to eat the old wine?"

"Don't ask for it, make a cup of herbal tea."

A plate of fried rice noodles with beef, a cage of shrimp dumplings, and a good old fire soup are enough to fill a hungry belly. Thinking that Xiaopang is still struggling to lose weight at this time, Li Tang packed another brine platter to welcome Xiaopang at night. Drink two more sips when the fat phone harasses you.

Back home, just after taking a shower, Xiaopang's phone didn't come, but Zeng Jia's called first.

"Brother Li, I have found out everything. This "Balzac and the Little Chinese Tailor" was indeed the best-selling novel in France last year, and Film Film Company is the third largest film production and distribution company in France. In fact, they The casting process started. It is said that the target was Zhang Ziyi from the very beginning. Zhang Ziyi also agreed at the time, and at the same time put forward a condition that Xie Tingfeng was appointed as one of the leading actors. But later on, I don’t know why it didn’t work out. I think it’s a big deal. The probability is because of the salary issue. I found Zhou Xun later..."

Li Tang didn't expect Zeng Jia to send relevant information back so soon.Li Tang listened to Zeng Jia's introduction on the phone, and the only thing he could be sure of was that Dai Sijie dared to go to Zhang Ziyi in the first place, and he must not be short of money.

As for Zeng Jia's guess that it didn't work out because of salary issues, the problem might be on Xie Tingfeng.Think about a Hong Kong Xiaotouzan who earns millions of dollars. No matter how popular he is, in Dai Sijie's eyes, he will definitely be very different from the image of an educated youth he has experienced and witnessed.

Lock Zhang Ziyi immediately, besides Zhang Ziyi's current high popularity and international reputation, another big factor is that Zhang Ziyi's image in "My Father and Mother" should be very similar to that of the little tailor in the script. match.

"Brother Li, have you read the script, how do you feel?" Zeng Jia asked again.

"Uh, the script is okay."

"Then do you mean to pick up or..."

Zeng Jia's meaning was obvious, since he thought the script was okay, such a good opportunity should not be missed.

Li Tang pondered for a while before saying: "Go ahead, but this matter is not urgent."

Zeng Jia on the other end of the phone really connected with him, and immediately said: "Understood, stretch it first."

The reason why Li Tang considered taking over this drama was that the script was really good on the one hand, on the other hand there was Zhou Xun's face, and of course the most important issue was the salary.

He is currently short of money. Since the crew is not short of money, he may be able to negotiate a good price.

More than 100 million yuan was thrown in "The Third Man". Although Li Tang is now looking forward to being shortlisted in overseas film festivals, it is best to be able to judge an award or something, and then sell it at a good price, but Sun Tzu's art of war says: do anything Think about failure beforehand, and success and benefits later.So he is now mentally prepared to lose money or even lose money, and now he wants to make more money.

He hung up Zeng Jia's phone, and Fan Xiaopang's call came in.

"Who are you calling? I haven't called in for a long time."

Little girls in love are always on the alert.

"It's Jiajia, I'm going to discuss things with her."

"You didn't call me when you left, and then when I called you, the phone was turned off, and I knew you were on the plane." Xiaopang said in a resentful tone on the phone.

"I'm afraid to disturb your class."

Xiaopang hummed twice on the phone, reluctantly accepted his explanation, and then asked, "By the way, what does Zhouxun want from you?"

"Oh, she introduced me to a play, and I met with the director and producer in the afternoon."

"Friendly cameo?"

"No, it's the number one male."

"Wow, is it true or not? A movie or a TV show?" Xiaopang asked in surprise.

"Movie."

"..."

Hearing the word movie, Xiaopang felt sore.She has just tasted the taste of movies, and to be honest, she feels very complicated. On the one hand, movies are not as high-intensity as when shooting TV dramas, but they pay special attention to excellence, and every shot has to be discussed and adjusted repeatedly.As an actor, she had the feeling of creation for the first time, and realized the so-called art represented by movies.Because of this, she especially likes this feeling and looks forward to being able to appear on the big screen.

But this kind of opportunity is too rare for me, but Mr. Li took the initiative to find a movie.At this time, she was not jealous, because she knew that her level was far behind Li Tang, but she was sour.

"Oh, it's boring, when will I have the chance to make a movie!"

"Don't worry, if you work hard now, you will definitely have a chance in the future."

That being said, Xiaopang's current manager, Chang Jihong, is deeply bound to Hairun, and Hairun happens to be a TV drama production company. If Xiaopang wants to move to the big screen, it will not be easy, unless it is his own The ability is particularly outstanding and has box office appeal.

　The second update, I have the audacity to ask for a ticket!
