Chapter 24 Baldy Xu Wants to Film a Mythical Drama
The movie is not finished, the actor's task has been completed.As for whether the movie can be completed and released in the future, all of this is unknown.

The free and easy Zhou Xun at the wrap-up banquet was laughing and joking throughout, making noise and stirring up the atmosphere.

Li Tang raised a glass to her: "Miss Xiaoxun, see you again!"

Zhou Xun's smile faded, and he said politely: "Yuyu in the cold river, old people in the rivers and lakes, why meet each other before."

Hey, when did you become so cultured?
Li Tang heard it familiar, but didn't react for a while.

Seeing his stupid look, Zhou Xun laughed loudly: "Stupid, I don't even know "New Dragon Inn."

Oh, it turned out to be a movie line, which has nothing to do with being educated.

At the end of the song, Zhou Xun rushed to report to the crew of "Da Ming Gong Ci". It is said that training is needed before filming starts.

Li Tang also returned to normal life.

Because he starred in two movies in succession, he was mixed up with a role in the large-scale drama "Shang Yang" rearranged by the drama center, the real A role.

"Shang Yang" is a traditional drama of the drama center, similar to "Teahouse" of Beijing People's Art, the main actors are all old artists of the center, and Li Tang plays a supporting role in it, which is a representative of the young actors of the center.

The rehearsal task is not too heavy, and I usually go home on weekends to accompany my father.He also transported the old Harley motorcycle back to the country, did a major repair and maintenance by himself, and spent nearly 1 yuan through his father's relationship to buy a yellow card from Shanghai A, and re-applied the license plate.

Due to the ban on motorcycles, the price of local motorcycle licenses has risen rapidly. The price has doubled compared to last year, and it is almost the same as the price of the auctioned car license plate, and there is a continuing upward trend.

Lao Li was very curious about his hands-on ability, and he didn't ask the end of his son's perfunctory answer.In Lao Li's eyes, when his son becomes sensible and promising every day, he is satisfied, and nothing else matters.

Life is uneventful, and she occasionally receives calls from her ex-girlfriend. She actually joined the crew of "Daming Palace Ci" and played the role of Princess Anle Li Guer.She knew that Li Tang and Zhou Xun had just co-produced "Suzhou Creek", and every time they talked about Zhou Xun, there was always a sour taste.

The two are obviously about the same age, one is from a major and the other is a wild boy, but their coffee status is a level behind.The young Taiping played by Zhou Xun can be regarded as the third female number in the play, and she is only a supporting role.Besides, she has been cast as the lead actress in the movie, but she is still rushing around to make soy sauce in various crews, she is so envious, jealous and hateful in her heart!
The ex-girlfriend was very busy and didn't have time to deliver that to her door. One night, Li Tang suddenly woke up from his dream with a shiver, and changed into his wet shorts. He felt melancholy: Should I find a girlfriend?
I have been depressed for a long time and need to be released.In addition to increasing the amount of exercise, he no longer refused Xu Guangtou's invitation to eat flowers and wine.

It can be said that this product has been in a good mood recently. After the performance of "The Color of Stocks", this drama representing Shanghai's humanities, like "Under the Roof of Shanghai" and "72 Tenants" in the past, received rave reviews for a while.

On this day, Li Tang came to a KTV, pushed open the door of the private room, oh, it was dark and sloppy inside, with the best disco music, only the projection on the wall flickered and gave off a faint light, a group of men and women were dancing madly .

Li Tang thought he had made a mistake, and was about to exit when he heard Xu Guangtou's voice: "Li Tang, come here, come here."

Taking a closer look, this guy is wearing a fancy hat today, no wonder there is no reflection and it is hard to recognize.

The music stopped, the lights came on, and Li Tang looked to see that apart from the group of Yingying and Yanyan ladies, the others were all friends who usually played with Xu Guangtou.

After saying hello and sitting down, Li Tang asked, "Didn't you say that old Fu is here?"

"He's Uncle Liberation Army, so it's inconvenient." Baldy Xu wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Besides, you know that guy from his family, and he's come to Shanghai too."

Old Fu is Xu Guangtou’s classmate and good friend. He made his debut very early and made the movie "Daughter Red" as soon as he graduated. At that time, Zhou Xun was a supporting role. He was the number one male. Assigned to the military art troupe.

In the 90s, military art troupes were very popular. College students like him received military officer treatment and housing.

As for his family, he is also an alumnus of the show, a class higher than Li Tang, a beautiful and gentle girl, the kind of good wife and mother.The year before last, old Fu went back to his alma mater to recruit as an outstanding student representative, and he caught her eye at first glance, so he recruited her into the art troupe under the pretense of official business and personal gain.I didn't want that senior with a gentle appearance to be very tough in her bones, and she took care of the flirtatious old Fu to death.

This time, Lao Fu came to Shanghai to shoot a TV series, but he didn't expect that senior sister to follow him.

"Hehehe."

Li Tang smiled gloatingly, and said, "Then say hello to them later and see when they have time. I'll treat them to dinner."

"Okay, I'll call tomorrow and ask."

Red wine mixed with Sprite and foreign wine mixed with green tea are popular in KTV these days. First, they sell more, and second, they are afraid of drinking fake wine.

Li Tang didn't drink this, but took a Corona beer and made a toast.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Guangtou, who was slightly drunk, pulled him aside and said mysteriously: "Someone asked me to shoot a movie."

"Movie?"

"No, TV series."

Xu Guangtou may feel that compared to Li Tang's movies, making TV dramas by himself is a bit cheap, so he hurriedly said, "Does Fan Xiaotian know?"

"do not know."

"Tsk, the deputy editor-in-chief of "Zhong Shan" magazine!"

Writers are easy to be respected. "Zhongshan" is a well-known domestic magazine, and the title of an associate editor is enough to make people look sideways.

"Oh!"

Although he had never heard of this name, Li Tang was still in awe.

"He has now come out of the magazine and started a cultural and art company, planning to make a TV series about mythology."

"This is fine!" Li Tang's eyes lit up.

Mythological themes have always been very popular. TV dramas such as "Journey to the West", "Liaozhai", and "Jigong" are all memories of their generation.He even felt that familiar cartoons such as "Tianshu Qitan", "Gourd Baby", "Nezha" and so on can be remade into movies and TV series.

"What fairy tale?" he asked again.

"It's related to "Journey to the West". It can be regarded as the prequel story of "Journey to the West." Xu Guangtou was not sure.

"Are you playing Sun Monkey?"

"No, the prequel of "Journey to the West" tells the story of immortals, and Sun Monkey has not yet jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. According to Mr. Fan, it is probably a series of stories. At present, he has just set up a shelf. He is going to find some Hongkongers Screenwriters and mainland screenwriters work together."

"Cut, what can Hong Kong screenwriters write." Li Tang said disdainfully.

Although Hong Kong movies and TV dramas have been very popular in the mainland in recent years, he feels that this is due to the cultural differences between the two places. In terms of culture, artistry, and the acting skills of the actors, they are not up to par in the eyes of professionals. Just watch the fun.

Xu Guangtou thoughtfully said: "I have thought about this too, on the one hand, it is probably to enhance the story; on the other hand, it may also consider that the culture in Hong Kong is not broken, and I have experience in creating strange stories... All in all, it’s all about brainstorming!”

Although he likes to drink flower wine and make young ladies, he still has a lot of artistic pursuits. Recently, he originally planned to engage in avant-garde dramas, but this mythological TV series still attracted him.

We must know that in the West, both "Homer's Epic" and ancient Greek mythology have been put on the art stage, just like domestic "Journey to the West", "Feng Shen Bang", "Liao Zhai", "Jigong" and so on, the artistic value is very high. High.

Moreover, he does not have Li Tang's vision beyond the times. These days, Chinese people are still looking up to foreign cultures, and even Hong Kong and Taiwan cultures. He feels that a series of mythological and ghost film and television dramas such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Legend of the White Snake" are still very mature. of.

More importantly, or what he kept hidden in his heart and didn't say it, he watched Li Tang make one movie after another in the past six months, and his heart was inevitably filled with all kinds of envy and jealousy.Although his plays are very successful, and he is even a strong contender for this year's Magnolia Award, but compared to movies and TV shows, plays are still a minority!
