Chapter 26 First Arrival in the Capital
Xu Guangtou was already waiting at the door, and when he saw him running over, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's finally here, I'm afraid you won't be in time."

It was past three o'clock in the afternoon when Li Tang received Naian's call, so he could only call Xu Guangtou for help, and asked him to go to the train station to see if he could buy a ticket to the capital that night, while he hurriedly rode Motorbike to catch the city.

As soon as I arrived in the city, I received a call from Xu Guangtou. The ticket was bought and the train departed at six o'clock.He didn't know that he was going to the capital for a few days this time, and the time was urgent, so he simply packed a few clothes and stopped a taxi to come over.

Li Tang took out his mobile phone to check the time, and said, "There are still 10 minutes left for the train to leave, in time. Boss, thank you!"

"Thank you, why are you in a hurry?" Xu Guangtou handed him the train ticket in his hand.

"There is an audition for a play in Beijing tomorrow afternoon, Chen Guang is in a hurry."

Li Tang took a look at it. From Shanghai to Beijing, the train departs at 320:[-] in the evening. The new air-conditioned express has a hard sleeper, and the fare is [-].

Baldy Xu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Is it a movie again?"

"No, it's said that Auntie Qiongyao's TV series is going to be a sequel, with a few more characters added, let me try it."

Xu Guangtou felt relieved, and grinned: "Yes, brother! Aunt Qiong Yao's drama, one hit and one hit. Take advantage of the opportunity, come on!"

I have to say that almost everyone of their generation grew up with Aunt Qiong Yao’s works, first reading novels, and then TV dramas, from the earliest "Several Sunsets", "Deep Courtyard", "On the Water Side", "Wan Jun"... until "Yi Lian You Meng", which was broadcast just last year, can be like a treasure.

But Li Tang smiled wryly and said: "I know now that it's Aunt Qiong Yao's play. The other names and characters have dark eyes, just to try their luck."

As he spoke, he counted out 350 yuan from his wallet and handed it to Baldy Xu.

When he saw that the other party took the money and wanted to find it in his pocket, he hurriedly said: "Boss, forget it, let you run for a while, and the rest will be used as a poor copper coin to go back."

But Xu Guangtou insisted on taking out the money, took out a fifty-dollar bill from it, and stuffed the remaining change into Li Tang's hand, saying: "Brothers will settle accounts clearly, and one yard is worth one yard. Buying a train ticket is for your help." I’m busy, you should pay for the fare, it’s worth the money, I’ll take the subway back by myself.”

Seeing that Li Tang was still pushing back, he immediately glared and said, "Don't mess with it, the train is about to start, hurry up and get on the train with Chen Guang."

This is Xu Guangtou, although he is usually shrewd and stingy, he has absolutely good grasp of size.He helped Li Tang today, which meant that Li Tang owed him a small favor.If Li Tang is greedy for the petty bargain of twenty or so yuan, even if Li Tang doesn't repay this petty favor, then this petty favor will be greatly reduced.

Li Tang could only accept the money, and said, "Boss, if I don't make it back in time on Monday, ask me for a leave of absence, and I'll call you later."

"Countless!"

After bidding farewell to Baldy Xu, Li Tang hurried into the car.

The train departs at six o'clock, and stops at Beijing South Railway Station on time at eight o'clock in the morning the next day.This is the fastest train in China since the Beijing-Shanghai line was speeded up last year.

As soon as Li Tang got out of the station, he saw Naian was already waiting outside.

After exchanging pleasantries, I boarded a Jetta she drove.

"Are you tired? Go to my place first, take a rest and refresh yourself."

"It's fine. I slept well in the car. I slept until dawn."

We haven't seen each other for three months. Naian seems to have lost a lot of weight. Li Tang asked, "Sister An, is your filming finished?"

"Well, my role has already been completed. Oh, I couldn't tell you on the phone yesterday. This drama is called "Huanzhugege". The first part was filmed last year. It was very popular when it was broadcast in Wanwan in April. The ratings in Hong Kong are also very high. Now I am preparing to shoot the second sequel. There are several new characters, one of which is a knight, and the character is the lost brother of the heroine. The script is not yet finished, just listen to their general description , there will definitely be a lot of scenes, almost male number four. But the competition must be fierce, you have to be mentally prepared."

Li Tang smiled and said: "It's okay, if you can't compete with others, I will come to the capital to see you."

Naian pursed her lips and said: "Then I'm sorry. But I told them that you know martial arts, they value this very much, otherwise they wouldn't be in a hurry to see you."

Naian drove onto the South Second Ring Road, passed Tiantan Park, Longtan Park, turned to the East Second Ring Road, and then headed north.Li Tang looked out of the car window, the sky was gray, and there were low bungalows everywhere. Compared with the western style of Shanghai, this place looks like a big crowded countryside.

All his memories of the capital city come from his previous life. When he was a child, his memory was very indifferent. When he grew up, the capital city gave him the impression that it was like a big construction site. Roads and houses were being built everywhere, and then it changed every year. When I come back after three or four years, I feel that the whole city has changed.

At this time, the bungalows are everywhere, and in ten or so years, they may be the so-called tall "siheyuan".

Naian noticed Li Tang's gaze looking out of the window all the time, and said with a smile, "This won't be the first time you've come to the capital, will you?"

"I came here once, when I was a junior, and I also came for an audition. But I came and went in a hurry. I came the first day and went back the next day."

Li Tang recalled the unpleasant experience of the original body more than two years ago. At that time, the speed of the train had not increased. A group of students bought hard-seat tickets, squeezed the train for nearly [-] hours, and traveled all the way to the capital. The result was nothing but joy.There was no face-to-face communication at all, but they were gathered together like herding sheep, and let them disperse after a quick glance.

"Then come this time, you have to take a good look. The Forbidden City, Beihai Park, and the Summer Palace are all good places to go... Hey, look at me, if you succeed in the audition this time, you will have plenty of time." Naian laughed.

Li Tang smiled. He is very familiar with these famous scenic spots in the capital. He remembers that every time he came to the capital in his previous life, he seemed to have a different harvest.

The capital city is huge, and Li Tang didn't know where Nai'an said she lived. He just saw the car going from the East Second Ring Road to the North Second Ring Road, then turned to Andingmenwai Street, and continued all the way north.

"Sister An, should I go back to Shanghai after I'm done here?" He asked casually.

"No, I've taken on another TV series, and it's going to start next month. Lou Ye has also taken on a few commercials. It's estimated that the funds will be almost there by then. I'll try to finish the movie in the first half of next year." Naian is still very optimistic. , said with a smile.

"Will it be screened normally?" Li Tang asked concerned.

It is said that Lou Ye's first two films could only be screened at midnight shows.

"It shouldn't be a problem."

Although Shanghai Film Studio did not agree to invest at the beginning, it still agreed to sell the factory bid. If it can pass the review, it can be released normally in China.

I used to hear that traffic jams in Beijing are more serious than in Shanghai, because there are more government offices in Beijing, more public cars, and more private cars with free license plates, while private car license plates in Shanghai are auctioned and the number is strictly controlled.

But today, the road is very smooth. From Andingmen Street all the way to the north, passed the National Olympic Sports Center, passed through the North Fourth Ring Road, and turned into a residential area. To be precise, this is not a real residential area. It is more like a park, with a large green space in the middle, a hotel and office buildings in front, and a dozen high-rise apartment buildings around it.

Looking out, the eyes are full of green, and the environment is very good. This is the famous "Asian Games Village", and it is also the legendary rich area of ​​the capital.
