Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 256 Change director

Even if Fatty had a hundred reluctances and ten thousand worries, he still boarded the flight to Yunnan obediently the next morning.

Young people, the country has always called on young people to have ideals and struggle.Xiaopang's greatest dream now is to become a big star, and one day she will shine brightly on the red carpet of the International Film Festival like Nicole Kidman, and everyone will cheer for her.Therefore, career always comes first.

After sending Xiaopang away, Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin also got on the ferry to Peach Blossom Island. Although they needed to change trains along the way, they chatted and laughed, and the journey was not boring and lonely.Both of them tacitly avoided the topic of chubby, chatting about the movie that is being released, about the upcoming filming of "The Condor Shooting", and even chatted about the classic Hollywood movie "Sleepless in Seattle".

But while chatting, the two of them fell silent at the same time.

Jiang Qinqin seems to have found her own shadow in this movie, expressing love through the airwaves, and it is very similar to the first time she thinks about calling Li Tang when she is lost and lonely.

Li Tang, on the other hand, couldn't continue the conversation. He didn't believe in love in both his life, and he always believed that the so-called love from a man's point of view was nothing but love at the beginning, and after being together for a long time, what kept the two of them together was Family affection is more responsibility.

Jiang Qinqin is a nice girl. If she is acting on occasion, he will not hesitate at all. Unfortunately, she is not acting, and her request makes him discouraged.It's the kind of thing that I really want, but I'm afraid I can't afford it. In short, I feel very conflicted.

Finally set foot on Peach Blossom Island, which had been away for almost half a month, and the hotel on the island was ready to stay. Although Li Tang was not the number one male, he was still allocated a suite with a reception room by virtue of his coffee position.

It's just that he found that there were many unfamiliar faces in the crew. To be precise, the people brought by the chief director Wang Rui were gone, even Wang Rui himself.

Zhang Dazi is not on the island either, because Mr. Jin Yong has arrived in Hangzhou yesterday.As a reserved promotional program of Jin Yong's drama, the old man will definitely come to visit the set, and then make some comments on the actors.

Probably nothing more than the stupid Li Yapeng is very similar to Guo Jing, and Zhou Xun, who is full of aura, is Huang Rong in his mind and so on.

This kind of drama is not new if there are too many scenes. Li Tang also lost the excitement when he heard that the old man came to visit the filming of "Swordsman" last time. To put it bluntly, it was all business.

Just as Li Tang was considering whether to call Wang Rui to inquire about the situation, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Opening the door, there was a little girl with twin ponytails standing at the door.

He raised his wrist to look at the time, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Are you so free, and you have already finished work at this time?"

Zhou Xun flicked his ponytail and said, "What can I do? The director has changed, and the new director needs to be familiarized with. In the past two days, I have only missed five scenes. Of course, it's too early to call it a day!"

"Really changed?"

Although Li Tang had already guessed it, was Lao Zhang so hasty at the moment when Mr. Jin Yong came to visit the class?

Of course, it is not ruled out that Wang Rui used this time to blackmail Lao Zhang.

If this is the case, it only shows that Wang Rui is too immature.Moreover, based on Li Tang's understanding of Zhang's bearded man, Wang Rui's move would definitely irritate the white-haired lion king.

"Isn't it a matter of time!"

Zhou Xun looked calm, obviously she was also dissatisfied with Wang Rui.

Li Tang had already noticed the signs when he first went to the island, but in just half a month, even Zhou Xun's attitude has changed. It seems that Teacher Wang is really unpopular!

Just as Li Tang was pondering, he heard Zhou Xun dissatisfied: "Hey, what do you mean? You don't want me to come in, or is there a beautiful girl hiding in the room?"

Only then did Li Tang come to his senses, and hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, please come in, please come in quickly!"

Zhou Xun walked in and took a look. The layout of the rooms of several leading actors was the same.She sat down on the sofa, smiled at Li Tang who was pouring water: "I haven't congratulated you yet, I heard that the box office of the movie is good!"

Li Tang handed her the water, and said modestly: "It's just passed 500 million, and "The Mummy 2" was released yesterday, so the situation will not be very optimistic."

"How about overseas box office?" Zhou Xun has been to Venice, so he is obviously knowledgeable.

"MK2 hasn't reported it in detail, it just said that it sold the copyrights of several small countries."

"That's not bad, at least capital preservation is not a problem, right?"

"It should be about the same."

Li Tang nodded, sat down opposite her, and asked, "Why did Director Wang leave suddenly?"

"It's a quarrel. I quarreled so much with Director Ma that I couldn't make any filming. In fact, everyone wanted to film. Director Wang... Hey, how should I put it, he is too stubborn, and even Mr. Zhang treats him very well." Opinion. And the departure was quite sudden, there was no way Teacher Zhang had to temporarily invite a director from TVB."

"Director Ju?"

Hearing that it was the director of TVB, Li Tang frowned instinctively.

"It's the director Ju Jueliang. He is a senior director of TVB. He has filmed the 83 version of The Condor Heroes and "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "Book and Sword Enmity". Maybe Mr. Zhang thinks he has a lot of experience in Jin Yong's dramas. .” Zhou Xun said.

"Isn't the 83 version of "Shooting the Condors" filmed by Wang Tianlin?"

In order to prepare for "Shooting the Condors", Li Tang specially watched the 83 edition of "Shooting the Condors", of course he knew who the director was.Wang Tianlin, Wang Jing's father.

"That's right, he was the executive director at the beginning, and the latter two are all serious directors."

Li Tang understood. It seems that Lao Zhang is old and cunning enough. He must have contacted him in advance. Otherwise, how could there be a seamless connection?And without Lao Zhang's backing, would Ma Yucheng, the action director, dare to quarrel with the chief director?

If Wang Rui really used retreat as a threat to come in, I'm afraid he really made a wrong calculation.

"Then how do you feel after taking pictures during this time?" Li Tang asked, changing the subject.

Zhou Xun shook his head: "That's it, the progress is not fast..."

After hesitating for a while, he said: "I feel that the level of the two directors is quite average. Director Wang is too rigid, and Director Ju feels too casual, and there is no point."

As an actor, especially Zhou Xun, who is shooting a martial arts drama for the first time, he needs the director's help and guidance a lot of time. If you don't focus, it will make it very difficult for the actor.

"Hey, don't pass on what I told you, or I'll offend the director."

"Does a big star like you still offend the director?" Li Tang joked with a smile.

"No, I don't dare. Forget it, let's talk to you about the business. Director Ju invites you to dinner tonight, and welcomes you and Jiang Qinqin."

"Director Ju is so polite."

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Director Wang, I'm afraid you will get emotional and not cooperate because of Director Wang's relationship, and want to establish a good relationship with the big star."

"So, let you pass the message?"

Li Tang felt a little inconceivable that the director had summoned Zhou Xun to invite him.

Zhou Xun curled his lips in displeasure and said: "It's not because there are people who are busy. Director Ju originally planned to come over to invite you in person, but our male number one said, I have a good relationship with you, let me invite you. In front of everyone On the face of it, I can't help but agree."

Li Tang understood. At the opening ceremony last time, Li Yapeng apologized to the media on behalf of Zhou Xun. He thought this guy was trying to create a topic on purpose, but he did it again today. It seems that guy has always been good at being a good person.To put it bluntly, it is hypocrisy, a look of always thinking about others, to show what I call "high moral integrity".

"Come on, the word has arrived, you rest first, I will take my leave. Oh yes, at six o'clock, the car is at the door."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xun stood up, patted his buttocks and walked away freely.

At 5 minutes to six, Li Tang, who had changed into casual clothes, went out and met Jiang Qinqin as soon as he got into the elevator, because the rooms were all suites, which were distributed on different floors.

"Yo, it's on time!"

Although there was a short period of embarrassment before going to the island, both of them have adjusted their mentality at this time.

The big beauty Jiang in the elevator changed into a white shirt and a pea green long skirt, and she put on light makeup, looking fresh and natural.Especially the shy smile with bowed head added a kind of gentle and reserved.

But Li Tang immediately remembered, and couldn't help saying, "Did you not tell me about such a big thing as changing the director?"

Jiang Qinqin raised her head and stared at her big eyes with long eyelashes, she said disapprovingly, "Our movie hasn't been filmed yet, does it make any difference if we change directors or not?"

"Uh..." Li Tang was momentarily at a loss for words.

Jiang Qinqin continued: "I don't know that director Wang, but I do know the current director. He should be a good director."

"Have you worked with him?"

"No, but I have cooperated with our company several times, and the response has been good."

One said that the filming was casual and nothing important, and the other said that the response was good. Li Tang was a little confused when he heard it, but anyway, he deliberately showed his favor, which shows that his attitude is still good. At least he did not come to the mainland like other Hong Kong people. To beg for food, you have to put on a stinky air of condescension.

As for the director's level, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom. As an actor, you only need to complete your role seriously.

When the three of them came downstairs, a white off-road vehicle had already parked at the door. The driver saw Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin coming out, got out of the car quickly, and opened the door courteously: "Mr. Li, Mr. Jiang, please!"

As for Xiao Tang, he naturally sat in the passenger seat.

After getting in the car, Li Tang asked, "Where shall we go for dinner?"

The driver hurriedly said, "Sea Chao Hotel!"

Li Tang couldn't help smiling knowingly, remembering that the last time Sun Haiying treated guests to that restaurant, the taste was indeed quite good.

The driver was afraid that Li Tang would not know, so he hurriedly said, "Teacher Li, it's very close, 5 minutes by car."

In less than 5 minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of Haichao Hotel. When the driver had just stopped the car and wanted to get out of the car to open the door in a hurry, Li Tang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Forget it, buddy, don't worry about it." busy."

He didn't have the bad habit of asking the driver to help open the door, so he just opened the door and got out of the car.

"Li Sheng, hello, I'm Director Ju's assistant."

A guy with glasses waiting at the door greeted him speaking broken Mandarin.

"Oh, Hello."

Li Tang shook hands with him.

Immediately afterwards, the little brother called out affectionately to Jiang Qinqin who was behind: "Sister Qinqin!"

Sure enough, beautiful women are welcome wherever they go.

Jiang Qinqin also smiled at him: "Hi, Pete!"

Oh, I almost forgot, Hong Kong has English names.

"Li Sheng, sister Qinqin, please!"

Coincidentally, it is still the private room from last time.

Ju Jueliang is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He has long hair, is tall, burly, and looks upright. At first glance, he doesn't look like a Hong Kong person, but looks like a burly man from the north.

Generally, people with this kind of appearance are often hard to be disgusted at first glance, especially when they are very polite and introduce several strange faces to Li Tang personally.

Thinking about it, Wang Rui brought the assistant director, lighting engineer, and photographer team of the film crew. Now that this person leaves, it is a big change. Now the lighting engineer including the assistant director Pete who just greeted him at the door Ju Jueliang and the photographer team were also brought from Hong Kong.

In fact, when Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin did not arrive, the private rooms were all communicating in Cantonese. Zhou Xun had been in Hong Kong when filming "Hong Kong Has a Hollywood" before Zhou Xun, and he could speak half-baked Cantonese, while Li Yapeng was completely inexperienced. A look of trying to blend in, no matter whether he understands or not, his face is always filled with a simple and honest smirk.

Soon after Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin were seated, they naturally began to speak Cantonese again.

Hong Kong dialect is no obstacle for Li Tang. He can not only listen but also speak. The master who taught him Cai Li Foquan was from Hong Kong.Moreover, the Chinese in the community where their family was located in the previous life were mostly immigrants from Hong Kong at the beginning, and it was not until 2000 that the number of Chinese from the mainland gradually increased.

"Li Sheng, I respect you, happy cooperation!"

An assistant director raised a glass to toast Li Tang.

In the end, Li Tang didn't move at all, just looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

The assistant director looked embarrassed, then immediately remembered, and then repeated it in Bao Zhun's Mandarin.

Only then did Li Tang pick up his cup and stand up, and lightly touched him: "Happy cooperation!"

The assistant director laughed, trying to ease the embarrassment and said, "It turns out that Li Sheng can't understand Cantonese."

"Ah."

Li Tang nodded, then smiled slightly and said, "I can understand you if you speak Shanghainese."

The assistant director's face froze again, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." He raised his head and toasted.

Since Cantonese songs became popular in the mainland, people have an illusion that speaking Cantonese is a fashionable, even high-grade thing.

Most of the people at the dinner table today are from Hong Kong. They speak their own dialect. Li Tang has no objection at all, but if you want to speak Cantonese with me, I’m sorry. It is the most basic courtesy to people.

Moreover, this was their first meeting before their cooperation. Li Tang just wanted to make a brand and not get used to their stink.To learn Mandarin well, start with me.

As for Li Tang’s mention of being able to understand Shanghai dialect, it was because a large number of Shanghainese came to Hong Kong since the 20s. At that time, Hong Kong could not be compared with Shanghai, the largest city in the Far East. Full of Shanghai colors.Cheongsam shops, Shanghai restaurants, and Shanghai barbershops still abound.

Later, with the Japanese invasion and liberation, a large number of Shanghainese came to Hong Kong. At that time, most of the people who came to Hong Kong were capitalists or cultural figures.For example, Mr. Dong, the first chief executive, Mr. Bao, Mr. TVB, Mr. Shao of TVB, including Mr. Jin Yong, the author of "Shooting the Condors", all passed from Shanghai.Therefore, those who speak Shanghainese in Hong Kong are generally of a higher level.

Especially for TVB staff like them, this feeling is particularly deep, because their sixth uncle speaks Shanghai dialect.
