Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 225 Prove yourself
Facing the reporter's question, which was clearly provoking discord, Li Tang smiled and said: "As we all know, when filming "Swordsman" last year, I played the role of the second male lead Lin Pingzhi at the beginning, and then Teacher Zhang gave me the role. The opportunity gave me the role of Linghu Chong, which made me who I am today. As a human being, you must always be grateful. Teacher Zhang is my noble person, let alone let me play Yang Kang this time, even if I play Jin Bingyi, I have nothing to say. So Don't ever ask why you don't fight for the number one male again."

Li Tang answered this question very frankly, so frankly that he almost engraved the words "return favor" on his forehead.

Of course, his answer made Zhang Dahuzi very satisfied. Lao Zhang will definitely not give up such a good opportunity, and he added: "Here I want to make a statement. After the filming of "Swordsman" was finished, I chatted with Li Tang. This matter is entirely a gentlemen's agreement verbally. As a result, you have also seen it. I want to say that this is a kind of cooperation between friends. This kind of mutual trust is no longer based on a relationship maintained by a contract. Of course, Li Some people may not be able to understand what Tang did, feel incredible, and even think he is too stupid, but I want to say that this is precisely because he has a "Linghu Chong" heart. So I want to emphasize it, or propose it, All of us should be moral and giri in everything we do in life..."

It has to be said that Lao Zhang's eloquence is so good that it even gave the reporters in the audience an illusion - as if they are not participating in a press conference, but taking an ideological and political class.

So much so that after Lao Zhang finished speaking, the scene was silent for more than ten seconds before the reporter raised his hand to ask questions.

This time, I finally threw the question to the male number one, Li Yapeng. Li Yapeng, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally talked with eloquence.Especially when talking about the prospect of cooperation with Zhou Xun, he said very nastyly: "When I found out that Zhou Xun was indeed playing Huang Rong, my first impression was: Zhou Xun is quite petite, and I am taller. This should be The Guo Huangpei I imagined should be very good. On the night after the first time I finished the styling, I dreamed of Guo Jing and Huang Rong. After waking up, I called Zhou Xun and wanted to call her 'Ronger'! I never thought she would return Didn't turn on."

Hearing these words, Li Tang got goosebumps, and the reporters on the scene burst into laughter. Maybe in their eyes, this is probably the so-called spirit of entertainment.It's not like Li Tang's blunt answer, talking nonsense and telling the truth.

Just like before the filming of "Swordsman", the crew released rumors in advance to select the most suitable actors for the roles of "Shooting the Condor" on the Internet.Jiang Qinqin was selected as the most suitable role to play Mu Nianci for the simple reason that Jiang Qinqin is pretty enough.

And when Jiang Qinqin was asked how she felt about the role of Mu Nianci, the beautiful woman Jiang seemed to be infected by Li Tang who told the truth, and she said with disgust as soon as she opened her mouth: "Actually, I don't like the character of Mu Nianci at all." , I feel that she is too weak, too indecisive."

Fortunately, she changed the subject right away: "But I really like her dedication to love."

After saying this, she glanced at Li Tang intentionally or unintentionally, and said confidently: "I will inject strong elements into the character of Mu Nianci in terms of character modeling and personality. As for the Hong Kong version you mentioned Mu Nianci, I don’t think I’ve reached the limit yet, and there’s still a lot to play.”

A press conference lasted for more than two hours, and the firepower of the reporters was concentrated on the actors.Although the host repeatedly stated not to ask questions unrelated to "Shooting the Condors", many reporters still asked Li Tang about "The Third Man" being shortlisted for this year's Venice International Film Festival.Some reporters even asked about Li Tang's status as a producer, did he want to be Zhang Jizhong's second, or Li Tang's first?
Finally, when it was over, Li Yapeng said as soon as he returned to the lounge: "My good guy, my clothes are all soaked."

As the number one male, he did bear a lot of pressure.He was not ambiguous. In response to the comparison of the Hong Kong version by the reporters, he said directly: "I hope that in 20 years, no one has read the Hong Kong version of "The Condor Shooting", but only read our version of "The Condor Shooting". People who have read it will definitely say: This version of "Shooting the Condors" is a classic!"

Big words are spoken, but if they are not fulfilled, they will become a laughing stock.Li Tang felt that this guy was similar to Zhang Dabezi in some respects, so it was no wonder he was chosen to play Guo Jing.

Zhou Xun came and went in a hurry, as a "popular idol", her time was precious, and it was said that she had to continue rehearsing the musical called "The Love of Heaven and Earth in July" at night.

Li Tang took the executive manager Zeng Jia and Zhang Dahuzi and the chief director Wang Rui to chat about the joining time.In fact, Li Tang's schedule is similar to Zhou Xun's. The "Hollywood in Hong Kong" he starred in was shortlisted for the main competition.

This year's Venice Film Festival opens on the 29th and closes on September [-]th. Because of the time difference and returning to China, the entry into the group must be at least after September [-]th.

Moreover, the preparations for this time were very hasty. There was no such thing as entering the group 20 days in advance like when filming "Swordsman", and then concentrated on training and reading the script.

Of course, the problem mainly lies in the schedule of the actors, especially for "popular idols" like Zhou Xun, it is completely unimaginable for you to let her join the group 20 days in advance.

After the chat, she found Jiang Qinqin and her assistant Xiao Tang waiting in the corridor.

"Brother Li, shall we have a meal together?"

Lao Zhang did not arrange a kick-off banquet for today's launch conference, which is really a bit too much.But when a beautiful woman invited him to dinner, Li Tang readily accepted it and said, "Okay, where can we eat?"

Jiang Qinqin smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you go."

As an imperial capital, the most indispensable thing in the capital is the so-called private kitchen that is private and expensive.Li Tang and Zeng Jia followed to a private restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine near Chaoyang Park.

As for the dinner, eating is still the second priority. The main thing is to find a place to chat and connect with each other.

"Hey, you said earlier that you took on two more dramas, what kind of dramas are they?"

"One is "Fengyun" and the other is "Half Life". Both are TV adaptations."

"Is it "Fengyun" from "The Wind and Cloud Dominate the World"?"

"Yes."

"Hey, it's all a big production!"

"The Wind and Cloud Heroes of the World" is a Hong Kong comic film adaptation, and it was also the champion of Hong Kong's annual movie box office that year.As for "Half Life", it is a film adapted from Zhang Ailing's novel. It was directed by Ann Hui, starring Wu Qianlian, Li Min, Anita Mui and Uncle Ge.It is definitely not a small production to be adapted into a TV series nowadays.

Jiang Qinqin said with little interest: "It's just average, they are all picked up by the company, so it has to be a job."

Since her debut in 92 as the heroine of the TV series "Avalokitesvara", most of her films are costume dramas or period dramas, which are inevitably a bit boring.

"Why, do you want to transform?" Li Tang couldn't help asking.

Jiang Qinqin shook her head and said distressedly: "How can it be so easy, let's see, let's talk about it when we have a chance in the future."

For an actor who has achieved success in one field, transformation means that there are great risks and uncertainties.Of course, as an aspiring actor, I definitely want to challenge some different roles, instead of always staying in my comfort zone.

Originally, Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin were chatting at the dinner table, and Zeng Jia and Xiao Tang were both acting as transparent people. At most, the two transparent people had some eye contact with each other, and then they ate the rare food in silence.

But at this time, Zeng Jia's heart moved, and she asked a little presumptuously: "Sister Qinqin, how many years have you cooperated with Mr. Qiong Yao's company?"

"what?"

Jiang Qinqin was stunned by this sudden question, feeling very surprised, looked at Zeng Jia, and said, "I signed for eight years, and there are still two more years left."

Zeng Jia then asked: "Then in the future, should we continue to develop in Wanwan or come back?"

At first glance, Zeng Jia seems to be asking too many questions. There are quite a few brokerage companies for Mainland actors, but they are only in Wanwan. They usually live and film in the Mainland.

Jiang Qinqin could naturally hear Zeng Jia's subtext. To be honest, she really didn't think about this question seriously, and fell into silence for a while.On the other hand, Xiao Tang looked at Zeng Jia warily.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Qinqin shook her head and said, "It's still hard to say what will happen in the future."

As she spoke, she gave Li Tang another meaningful look, and said with a smile, "Why, your company wants to poach me?"

Originally, Li Tang also felt that Zeng Jia was quite presumptuous just now, but now he looked at his executive manager in surprise, because Naian's company has always been mainly producing films, and he has never heard of expanding the company. brokerage department.

In the end, Zeng Jia and Li Tang looked at each other, and said without any panic, "If Sister Qinqin can join our company in the future, of course it is my wish."

At this time, Jiang Qinqin was actually quite straightforward and said: "Okay, then I will definitely think about it seriously in the future."

Jiang Qinqin made her debut early. After graduation, because she was assigned to the Beijing Film Studio, she bought a house in the capital early, in the Xiaoguan area near the Asian Games Village on the North Third Ring Road.Li Tang only heard her talk about it, but he has not been invited to sit at home for a while.

After eating, Li Tang couldn't help but ask as soon as he got in the car: "Is the company looking for people?"

"No." Zeng Jia shook his head.

Li Tang was a little unhappy and said, "Then why are you asking around?"

"I suggested to Sister An that our company should expand the size of the brokerage department."

"Miss An agrees?"

"No, Sister An just said that she needs to think about it, but she hasn't replied yet."

Only then did Li Tang turn pale and said, "Then why are you in such a hurry?"

"No, Brother Li, listen to me. I think it will be a trend for film and television companies to expand their agency departments in the future. There is no reason for our company to give up this business for nothing." Zeng Jia said seriously.

Li Tang didn't expect Zeng Jia to be quite ambitious despite his young age.In fact, in his perception, the film company and the brokerage company are a complementary cooperative relationship, and together they are suspected of being a monopoly, so in the United States, the film company and the brokerage company are separated.

But the situation in China is different. A few years ago, the so-called brokerage industry was still a new industry, but in the past few years, this industry has developed very fast, and it all learns from the model of Hong Kong and Taiwan.From the merger of Huayi Brothers and Sister Hua’s companies last year, to Chang Jihong’s close relationship with Hairun, and to Rong Xinda’s signing of a large number of actors such as Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, domestic private film and television companies are becoming more and more popular. Pay attention to its brokerage department.This is similar to the actor troupe under every film studio in the past.

But based on Li Tang's understanding of Naian, as a former literary and artistic young woman, Naian's pursuit is more so-called art, rather than making her company bigger and stronger.Otherwise, after Xiaopang terminated the contract with Aunt Qiongyao's company last year, Naian would have already been there first.

Li Tang looked at Zeng Jia and said, "Then what if Sister An refuses?"

"Don't agree?"

Zeng Jia was taken aback, completely incomprehensible, and said, "Why didn't Sister An agree to such a good thing?"

Li Tang shook his head and said, "You, you didn't even say anything about this matter. In the future, if you don't have anything else to ask, what if someone takes it seriously?"

Zeng Jia sat there in a daze, still muttering: "Sister An really doesn't agree?"

……

"Ms. Li, haha, I got the role!"

When Li Tang received Fan Xiaopang's call, he had just got off the plane at Pudong Airport.It was really a coincidence this time, during the few days when he was back in the capital, Xiaopang happened to go to another place to participate in a commercial performance.It's not that the moment he left, Xiaopang came back, which happened to be perfectly staggered.

"Then congratulations!"

Li Tang said in surprise as he walked out.

Xiaopang has put in a lot of effort for the role of An Xin, and speaking of it, this role has twists and turns.At the beginning, it was said that the role was confirmed in mid-June. At first, director Ding Xiaohei took a fancy to Zhou Yun in the Chinese opera.To be honest, Xiaopang has no advantage over Zhou Yun, who was born in a major, in terms of acting skills or fitting the image of the character.

But at this juncture, another accident happened.Zhou Yun accepted the film "Heroes of the World" directed by He Ping. Not only can she cooperate with Jiang Wen, Xiao Yanzi and other big names, but she is also the second female lead. Of course, she did not hesitate to throw herself into the embrace of the big screen.

Director Ding Xiaohei has always paid more attention to actors with a professional background. To put it bluntly, he discriminates against wild actors like Fan Xiaopang.So he fell in love with Yang Rong from the show again, but Hairun's boss seemed to be more optimistic about the newcomer Sun Li.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing is finally finalized by the boss, but "Jade Guanyin" has a huge investment after all, and it is not just Hairun's family that has the final say.

And because of the failure of the previous play, Mr. Haiyan attached great importance to this drama, and other investors put it bluntly only because of Mr. Haiyan, so Mr. Haiyan's opinion seems to be very important.

Originally the least favored, I respectfully welcome the last opportunity for Xiaopang.Xiaopang’s hard work has been seen by Mr. Haiyan. The failure of the previous play should be said to be a fault of the war, but Mr. Haiyan has been holding his breath. It seems more convincing to use Fan Xiaopang, the heroine of the previous play, to make a comeback In addition to Chang Jihong's mediation, he successively persuaded Hairun's Mr. Liu and director Ding Xiaohei to make Xiaopang finally stand out.

At this time, Xiaopang also held his breath. She never expected that this time, the old lady was the most famous and the oldest, but she was compared by the three newcomers. If it wasn't for the support of Teacher Haiyan this time, she lose the role.

"Ms. Li, just look at it, this time I have to prove myself no matter what!"

　Sorry, only one chapter today.It's a little bit of a text for some reason, and I owe three chapters, and I will definitely make it up this month.
