Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 244
Li Tang took a shower, made a cup of tea, and sat on the closed balcony overlooking the turbulent sea in the drizzle. He slowed down a little, and seeing that the time was almost up, he lifted his spirits and went downstairs.

Boosting your spirits is a basic skill for an actor, because when you are acting, you may be mentally exhausted due to physical fatigue and lack of sleep, but you must lift your spirits on the scene, otherwise you will not be able to enter the character.

This is why Li Tang has to warm up before filming. On the one hand, he can fully exercise his body, and on the other hand, he can concentrate more mentally.

The dinner party was in a large box on the second floor. When Li Tang opened the door and entered, most of the seats were already occupied. Producer Zhang Dahuzi, chief director Wang Rui, action director Ma Yucheng, Li Yapeng, Sun Haiying , You Yong, etc. are all present, but there is no one from Zhou Xun. Of course, Jiang Qinqin will not be able to join the group until a few days later.

"Yo, Li Tang is here!"

Li Yapeng, who was sitting next to Zhang with a big beard, stood up quickly and extended his hand to say hello very warmly.

"Brother Duck Shed!"

Li Tang walked over to shake hands with him, then greeted everyone present, and sat down next to chief director Wang Rui.

"Mr. Wang, Cheng Er asked me to take care of you."

"Xiao Li, you don't need to speak for him. I have taught him for four years, but I still don't know him well. If he takes the initiative to let you take care of me, then he is not Cheng Er." Wang Rui said with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, you still know him well."

Li Tang didn't feel embarrassed at all. He had contacted Wang Rui once during the launch conference last time. The chief director may be serious and introverted because he is a teacher.Fortunately, there was Cheng Er as the bond between the two of them, and he only used Cheng Er to quickly close the distance between them.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet for winning Venice's Best Actor."

"Hey, Mr. Wang, don't say that, it's just the best actor in the upstream unit." Li Tang hurriedly corrected.

Just kidding, the only Chinese actor who has won the Best Actor in Venice so far is Yuan Quan's boyfriend Xia Yu.

"Don't just, 99% of the actors with this honor alone can hardly achieve it in their lifetime!" Wang Rui said with emotion.

People like them grew up in a special period, and their world view is just going through the honeymoon period with the West. This group of people is generally full of yearning for the West, and of course they especially respect overseas awards.

Li Tang chuckled and said, "I'm just lucky this time, and it's also good that Cheng Er took the picture."

"Cheng Er..."

Wang Rui shook his head after speaking halfway.After all, Cheng Er is his student. As a teacher, he is very gratified that the student has achieved such a great achievement when he is just a fledgling student, but at the same time, he is also envious or even jealous. In short, his mood is quite complicated.

In the end, this line of business is still an opportunity. Student Cheng Er met Li Tang, and then achieved his current achievements with Li Tang's support and help.And as a teacher, he is still struggling to film TV dramas, and he is still constrained everywhere, it's really hard to say!
But this did not prevent him from being full of affection for Li Tang.After all, from the director's point of view, I like actors like Li Tang who can invest and have excellent acting skills.If the relationship is good, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Just as the two were whispering to each other, they suddenly heard Li Yapeng shout: "Li Tang, what are you talking about?"

Li Tang looked up in surprise, as if he hadn't gotten to know him to this extent yet, and this buddy was already familiar with him too.

But on the scene, it's not good to show it too much, but just said lightly: "There is nothing to talk about."

Obviously a soft nail, Li Yapeng seemed to have no feeling at all, but acted as the commander of the wine, raised his glass and said: "I suggest, let's raise a glass together to respect Teacher Zhang!"

When everyone was about to stand up and toast, they heard the bearded Zhang say: "Let's wait, Xiao Zhou hasn't arrived yet."

Li Yapeng quickly lowered his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, when Xiao Zhou came, she was very seasick. I guess she won't be able to come..."

But before he finished speaking, he heard a voice from outside the door: "Who said I won't come?"

Immediately afterwards, the petite Zhou Xun pushed the door open and entered.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's six o'clock, and the time hasn't come yet." The bearded Zhang suddenly smiled kindly.

Then he asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"

Zhou Xun said with a smile, "It's much better after a night of sleep."

Zhou Xun is undoubtedly the biggest actor in the crew, and as the lead actress, the role of Huang Rong can be said to be the most famous heroine in all Jin Yong's martial arts novels, not one of them.Even Mr. Jin Yong said that the success of "Shooting the Condors" depends on the role of Huang Rong.

So as soon as Zhou Xun came in, Li Yapeng moved the tableware in front of him in a hurry, trying to give Zhou Xun the seat on the right next to Zhang Dazizi.

"Xiao Zhou, sit down..."

It's a pity that before he sent out the invitation, Zhou Xun sat down on the empty seat next to Li Tang.

"It's okay, Brother Yapeng, I'll just sit here."

"Uh... also good!"

Li Yapeng was a little embarrassed, but he had a strong ability to adjust, and immediately asked courteously: "What drink would Xiao Zhou order, or how about making a cup of hot tea?"

"Beer is fine."

Zhou Xun was not pretentious and directly picked up the half of the beer that Li Tang had just poured on the table and poured himself a glass.

Li Yapeng, who was a little embarrassing again, quickly cleared up his expression, raised his glass and said, "Okay, since everyone is here, let's raise our glasses and toast Teacher Zhang together."

The big guys stood up together and toasted Zhang Dazi.

Lao Zhang has always liked this way the most, and immediately smiled and bowed: "Okay, okay, almost all the main creators of our crew have gathered today, but God is a little unhelpful, everyone has worked hard. I respect you guys for this cup!"

We had a drink together.

It stands to reason that after respecting Lao Zhang, one should respect the director.It was like this when filming "Swordsman", Lao Zhang was the top leader, and the chief director Huang Jianzhong was the second leader. Although the first and second leaders were secretly intriguing, everyone was still on the bright side.All the actors and staff respect Lao Huang very much.

But now, Li Yapeng, who seems to be particularly active, deliberately ignored the chief director Wang Rui, and Lao Zhang didn't respond at all.

Li Tang subconsciously glanced at Wang Rui beside him, and found that Director Wang also had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't mind this deliberate indifference.When he found Li Tang looking over, he picked up the glass and motioned to him. After taking a sip of the wine, he pointed to a plate of blood cockles in front of him: "Try it, Li Tang, this one is good."

"Oh."

Of course, Li Tang is no stranger to blood cockles, just scald them with boiling water, open their mouths slightly, and when peeled off, they are bloody, dipped in some sauce and vinegar, the taste is very fresh.

Li Tang had just eaten one, and when he was about to pick up the second one, he heard Zhou Xun next to him say, "When did you arrive, why didn't you say hello?"

Li Tang stopped his chopsticks, turned his head and said, "I caught up with the last boat, and it just arrived. No, I met your assistant when I went upstairs. She said you were sleeping, so I don't want to bother you."

"This girl didn't tell me."

"Is it better?" Li Tang asked softly again.

Because his complexion is not very good when he reads Zhou Xun, and as long as she is not in a good mood, she will have heavy bags under her eyes.

"fine."

Zhou Xun smiled and picked up the cup: "Come on, let me toast you, congratulations on being shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor."

Li Tang happily clinked his glass with her, pouted his lips in Sun Haiying's direction, and said, "I'm not the only one shortlisted for best supporting actor, there's another one over there."

As a result, Sun Haiying's ears were so sharp that he heard it. He laughed and said, "Li Tang, we are competitors now, do you want to have a drink?"

"Okay, have a drink!"

Li Tang and him are also old acquaintances, and they got along very well when they were filming "Swordsman".But this time he found that this guy has changed quite a lot, he seems to be a bit superior, he is no longer as polite and submissive as he was when he was filming "Swordsman", in short, he seems to have the style of a veteran cadre.

But I think that at the beginning of the year, he just filmed "Father Enters the City". Oh, the TV series that is now renamed "The Years of Burning Passion" plays the image of an old cadre. It's too deep in the play, but it's okay. understand.It's just that it seems like it's been a long time since I entered the play. It's been more than half a year, isn't it that I haven't played yet?
Everyone sat together to exchange cups and eat and drink. Li Tang found out that besides Zhang Dazi and Li Yapeng, there was also martial arts instructor Ma Yucheng who also suspected of deliberately ignoring the chief director Wang Rui.

As for the others, Sun Haiying has always followed the lead with a big beard.Don't look at him who seems careless on the surface, but he is actually a thug, and he will never take the initiative to say a word to someone who has a big beard and ignores him.

But You Yong and Zhou Xun did not treat Wang Rui differently, they still had the respect they should have for the director.

Seeing this scene, Li Tang couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. He didn't even pretend to be superficial. How much contradiction must there be?
He guessed that Zhou Xun, who had been to the grassland, should know something inside, but it was not easy to ask at the dinner table at this time.

As night fell, the wind and rain outside became more and more intense.According to the weather forecast, this year's No. 11 typhoon may hit Peach Blossom Island head-on tomorrow afternoon.

For this reason, Lao Zhang was also worried. Originally, September 29th was a good day. Judging from the situation, tomorrow's opening ceremony must be postponed.
