Chapter 264 Self-reliance?

"What does the company mean?"

I forgot about the expiry of the contract. Even though Naian has been busy with Lou Ye's new movie this year, such a big company shouldn't forget about it.Li Tang even thought that the company might not want to renew the contract with him, but Naian was too embarrassed to speak up, so he delayed the matter.

In the end, Zeng Jia said with a look of embarrassment: "The company asked me to remind you before, but I forgot it accidentally, and I just remembered it now."

"Uh……"

Li Tang looked at Zeng Jia speechlessly, thinking for a long time that the problem was with you.But after thinking about it, this matter seemed unreasonable. With Zeng Jia's work style, how could such a big matter be forgotten, and it took such a long time.

Thinking of this, Li Tang's eyes changed, he looked at Zeng Jia meaningfully and said, "Jiajia, tell me, what do you think?"

Zeng Jia, who is usually daring to speak and act, hesitated at this moment. Facing Li Tang's direct gaze, she even averted her gaze a little, and said hesitantly: "I thought that you might leave the company, so I deliberately didn't mention this matter. I wanted to see and talk about it."

"If I really leave the company, what will you do?" Li Tang asked again with great interest.

Zeng Jia said without hesitation: "Of course I will go with you, brother."

This answer is expected, after all, Zeng Jia only has a sense of presence in the company as her executive agent, otherwise she might be an ordinary publicity staff.

Li Tang smiled again and said, "I haven't found a job yet, why do you think I left the company?"

Zeng Jia blurted out: "Don't we have our own studio, we can set up our own business!"

This studio was quite accidental. It was originally established to invest in the movie "The Third Man" and to avoid unnecessary procedures and tax issues. Its name was Li Tang Studio, with a registered capital of [-] yuan. It was similar in nature to an individual business.

Then Zeng Jia beamed again and said, "Brother, I've done the math. Let's recruit another experienced propagandist, an accountant, and an assistant for you, and the studio will be fully operational."

Li Tang was taken aback by Zeng Jia's proposal. Before that, he had never thought of setting up his own business, because in his thinking, he had always entrusted professional matters to professional people.

It's like when filming "The Third Man", he was the main investor, and it is reasonable to say that he has the absolute right to speak, but when filming, he still listens to the director as usual when filming.Even if he had a different opinion, he would discuss it with Cheng Er, and he often focused on Cheng Er's opinion.

In a word, because the director is professional.

The same is true for the agent. At the beginning, he chose Naian as an expedient measure, and at one point he also had the idea of ​​changing the agent.But to be honest, as far as the so-called brokers in China are concerned, none of them are actually ideal brokers in his mind.

After all, the domestic brokerage industry has just started, and it is not the same as the foreign brokerage industry that has been settled for hundreds of years.

A really good agent will help you formulate a detailed career plan, be proficient in the law, monitor public opinion, know how to help you choose a suitable script, strive for good roles and high-quality endorsements, and so on.

Zeng Jia is undoubtedly ambitious. She didn't remind her before, maybe she did it on purpose. She probably wanted to take the opportunity to observe her reaction.

But at the same time, Li Tang had to admit that Zeng Jia's proposal opened another door for him.Even though he lived in a different environment from his previous life, his thinking was still influenced by the thinking of his previous life.

It may be difficult or even impossible to set up your own business in an environment like the United States where the performing arts and agent mechanisms are well established, but the environment in China is different. He suddenly realized that setting up a business on his own is not only feasible, but even a blue ocean.Especially the success of "The Third Man" gave him a taste of the sweetness.

Standing on your own also means being able to have a certain right to speak. You are not only a passively selected actor, but you can also become an investor and producer, and you can make movies you like.

Li Tang had to admit that he was moved, but in view of the seriousness of the matter, he still kept his expression on his face and said, "Let's talk about this matter later."

Seeing that Li Tang didn't object immediately, which means there is an opportunity, Zeng Jia's eyes lit up immediately, and he said hastily, "I understand, this is a big matter, we must think it through carefully."

How did Miss Hua get up?Didn't I work as an assistant to Chen Daoming at the beginning, and then step by step to today.Zeng Jia is optimistic about Li Tang, or she has no choice but to rely on Li Tang to realize her dream.

……

"yawn!"

The off-road vehicle was driving on the highway, Li Tang couldn't help yawning again.

Seeing this, Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but said: "I won the prize last night, did you stay up all night excited? Be careful, our lives are in your hands."

"I'm not excited, but I really didn't sleep well." Li Tang turned to look at her and said.

He didn't sleep well last night mainly because he was thinking about Zeng Jia's proposal. Considering the current domestic environment and the development of the circle, it might really be a good choice to set up his own business.

"Then pull over and let me drive." Jiang Qinqin said worriedly.

"It's okay, we're going to the exit soon."

There is not much distance from the expressway to Beilun, and then to Baifeng Wharf.In fact, Ningbo is very close to Peach Blossom Island, mainly because it takes more time to take two ferries.

Jiang Qinqin was afraid that he would be really sleepy, so she kept talking to him.

Opening the entertainment news section of the portal website today, apart from the grand closing ceremony of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival last night, almost the whole screen is full of news about the two award winners, Gong Li and Li Tang. ,

No way, these two winners of this year's Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award are stars and have a broad audience base.But compared to last year when she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress for "Pretty Mom", this time the Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers Award is more of a resignation. Li Tang is a new winner.Although it is only the best supporting actor of the Golden Rooster Award, it is still very fresh and topical.

What makes Li Tang especially gratified is that these reports have more or less mentioned "The Third Man", which is currently in theaters. Although high-definition pirated discs have been released, it can still boost some box offices that are currently in decline.

The journey went smoothly, and we finally arrived at Peach Blossom Island at noon.

"Haha, Li Tang, congratulations! Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor, well deserved!"

Lao Zhang had already returned to Peach Blossom Island from the capital, and he gave Li Tang a big hug when they met.

"Mr. Zhang, please don't say that, or the old grandson will be unhappy." Li Tang joked with a smile.

"I'll still say that in front of him. In fact, he was shortlisted this time mainly because of the subject matter. It would be good to get a nomination." The bearded Zhang said carelessly.

It has to be said that Sun Haiying was originally carried by him, and Lao Zhang definitely has the qualifications.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lao Zhang got to the point: "When will you report to the crew of "Heroes"?"

"Maybe early next month, we still have to wait for the announcement."

The date I signed with "Hero" was in mid-October, but there are always various uncertainties in filming, and the current entry into the group has been delayed for more than half a month.

And when I signed a contract with the crew of "Shooting the Condors", this clause was also written into the contract.Due to the schedule adjustment of the crew of "Heroes", Li Tang's filming schedule in "Shooting the Condor" will naturally also face adjustments.

"Then hurry up and finish filming the scenes on Peach Blossom Island as much as possible. Maybe we will have to change scenes by the middle of next month." Old Zhang said.

"clear."

Li Tang nodded, and then smiled again: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I only have this role, and I will definitely not hold back the crew."

……

"Nianci, why are you here?"

Jiang Qinqin looked at him affectionately.

Li Tang, who was sitting on the sofa, said anxiously again: "Hey, it's very dangerous here, you should leave quickly."

It has to be said that Jiang Qinqin's grasp of the inner drama is still very strong, I saw her pursing her lips and looking at Li Tang, with sparkles in her eye sockets.

Li Tang also looked at her affectionately, and said softly: "You are much thinner, really!"

Jiang Qinqin looked at him without saying a word, tears filled her eyes, and she was about to drop.Being used to acting in Qiong Yao opera, her greatest ability is to be able to control her tears. She is very particular about when she rolls down, every second is accurate, and what's even more rare is that she can even hold back her tears.

I saw her take two quick steps and walked in front of Li Tang.

Li Tang made a binding gesture with his hands behind his back, and hurriedly rubbed in her direction, hoping that the two would get closer.

"Oh, my dagger was given to Miss Huang. I don't think I can cut the chain with this knife."

This scene is about Yang Kang, played by Li Tang, who was chained and imprisoned in Guiyun Village after failing a martial arts competition. Mu Nianci came to rescue him late at night, but he couldn't break the chain, so the two began to complain.

The scene was going to be filmed at night, and in the afternoon, Jiang Qinqin took the initiative to come over to answer the words and rehearse.

Li Tang is not worried about his current situation at all. According to the description in the novel, Yang Kang absolutely has true love for Mu Nianci. It is a great comfort and excitement for Yang Kang to see his beloved at this time, especially when the other party comes to rescue him at a great risk.

Li Tang immediately said indifferently: "Don't worry about this."

As he spoke, his buttocks moved twice: "Come, come, sit!"

Jiang Qinqin still said: "I'm going to steal the key..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Tang interrupted, "Hey, don't go!"

As he spoke, he purposely looked to both sides and lowered his voice, "The people here are amazing, you can't beat them."

Jiang Qinqin gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll carry you out!"

Li Tang straightened his chest and said, "Can you carry me on your back?"

Jiang Qinqin looked at Li Tang, then looked up, as if she was looking at the iron chains hanging from the roof, and said anxiously, "Then... what should I do then?"

It has to be said that Jiang Qinqin took the rehearsal very seriously, and her whole body was almost substituted into the character of Mu Nianci. Tears came whenever she wanted to, and if she wanted to hold back, she would hold back.

At this time, Li Tang looked very anxious, and he thought Yang Kang should be like this, so he couldn't help but poked his face forward and said, "Then you can kiss me!"

"Hey, why did you change the word?"

Jiang Qinqin was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer it.

In fact, regarding the character of Yang Kang, whether it is the original novel or the script, the portrayal of this character is too facial, as if this person is born to be a villain, selfish, cruel, and greedy for power, but Li Tang believes that Yang Kang is not a bad character from the beginning, and even his choice should be understandable in today’s environment. Water flows to low places, and people go to high places!It's just that in the historical environment at that time, it seemed out of place in the so-called family hatred and national hatred.

But he has always been sincere to Mu Nianci.As a little prince who grew up in the royal palace, he was born in the environment of the Dajin Kingdom where the etiquette was not well developed, and such behaviors that are passionate and only polite do not exist for him, so he is not as pedantic as Guo Jing, but more willful and free and easy.

Like is like, love is love, and will not be bound by the so-called ethics.

Therefore, Li Tang injected more humanized elements into the character of Yang Kang in the performance, which is in line with the character's growth environment and character, so that this character does not look so facial.

So, Li Tang sat down next to the sofa, moved aside to greet Jiang Qinqin and said, "Come, come, let me analyze it for you."

Performance is itself a kind of creation.

Jiang Qinqin sat down beside him, and Li Tang analyzed his thoughts in detail.

Naturally, Jiang Qinqin didn't think as much as he did. Think about it, when she was acting in Qiong Yao's drama before, she was used to not being able to change even a single word in the script.

Even though she recognized Li Tang's idea, she still looked at Li Tang blankly and said, "Then how should I act?"

"Isn't it very simple, I love you, you love me, it's a normal reaction! Shy, coquettish, those who want to refuse and welcome!"

Jiang Qinqin was embarrassed by what he said, especially when she heard the phrase "I love you", she couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, and retorted shyly: "Mu Nianci shouldn't be like this, she still bears the blood of her adoptive father, how could she be so casual?"

"The power of love, do you understand? If it's really like what you said, then there will be nothing wrong with Yang."

That's right, in the end the two rolled out of the bed together, leaving a posthumous child, and then extended the second part of the "Condor Heroes" in the "The Condor Heroes" trilogy.

"You let me think about it, otherwise I won't be able to connect with the following lines."

"I'll help you as a staff officer again."

The two worked on the script together, uh, literally.

It's just that the two of them were very close at this time. At first, both of them were looking down at the script, but Jiang Qinqin turned her head inadvertently, and a few strands of hair brushed Li Tang's face, itching.

The nose is always surrounded by a faint fragrance, which is very unique, different from the richness of Xiaopang and the faintness of his ex-girlfriend.This needs to be tasted carefully, and the aroma is from light to strong, as if the surface is light, but the inside is very strong.

Li Tang couldn't help turning his head to look over, the distance was very close, and he could clearly see the layer of light, slightly trembling down on the sideburns, and the surrounding white and delicate skin, which made him want to get closer.

The closer you get, the clearer and stronger the aroma becomes.

With a "gurgle", the Adam's apple squirmed, and the breathing became rapid...
