Chapter 266 The Crew Reports
"Viagra, hello!"

"Hey, Teacher Li Tang, please don't joke around. Xiao Zhou, just call me Xiao Zhou."

Li Tang came to report to the crew of "Heroes", and his contact was Director Zhang's assistant Zhou Wei who had dealt with him last time.

Originally, I thought I would go directly to Hengdian to meet up with the crew, but it turned out that I was arranged at the International Trade Hotel in Jinhua.Four-star, considered the best hotel in the area.It is said that Hengdian is still working on the set, and Li Tang is arranged here out of the need for confidentiality.

Li Tang originally wanted to meet Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, including Xiao Zhang and other big names, but after they went to the Northwest, Jiuzhaigou and Guilin, they finished their work and took vacations. Even Li Lian, who was acting opposite him, wanted to You can only come to the set after ten days.

His task now is to practice the tricks and get ready.The crew also rented a venue at the Jinhua Gymnasium not far from the International Trade Hotel, where they usually train.

"I made the director cry today."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. Today, Pai Anxin knelt in front of her mother and begged her to come up with money to save Yang Rui. It went very smoothly, and the performance came down in one breath. After the performance, I didn't hear the director say stop or pass. I was just wondering. , and guess what happened?"

"What's the matter?"

"In the end, I saw Director Ding coming over wiping his tears, patting me on the shoulder and saying that I did a good job!" Fatty proudly said on the phone.

"Well, it's quite powerful!"

Li Tang sighed in admiration while lying on the bed, and then asked: "By the way, how is the acne on your face? Has it disappeared?"

"Tsk, why don't you pick up which pot? I'm worried. Last time you sent me the war acne from the Shanghai No. [-] Hospital. It didn't work, so I still sent it!"

"Then you should pay attention to your usual diet. I guess it may be because of acclimatization."

"It doesn't make sense. I was fine when I experienced life before, but I couldn't do it when I was filming, and now I often can't sleep at night, and my dreams are all during the filming during the day. Maybe it's because of too much pressure."

"Didn't you just say that you made the director cry, it should be fine, why is there pressure?"

"Oh, you don't know, I have to cry all day now, I can't do it if I can't cry. Last time I filmed the scene at the train station, there were too many people on the scene, and I couldn't get into the mood at all, so I secretly used eye drops, and the result was Director Ding scolded me..."

As he said that, Xiaopang said coquettishly on the phone: "Mr. Li, come and see me when you have time, maybe it's because of the disharmony of yin and yang."

Xiaopang is really greasy, and he can speak such tiger-wolf words.You are not in harmony with yin and yang, but I am not in harmony with yin and yang!
"It's not like you don't know what's going on with me now. I just reported to the crew today, so I definitely can't leave!"

"Didn't you say there was only one fight in total?"

"That's right, there is only one fight scene and two lines of lines, but how to shoot depends on the director, and director Zhang specially asked me to set aside a one-month schedule, it will definitely not be easy."

"Then...then you have time to visit the class in the future, okay? Otherwise, I won't be able to return to the capital until after New Year's Day."

The filming cycle of "Jade Guanyin" lasted for half a year, and most of the scenes were filmed in Yunnan. According to the filming plan, at least the new year's day and the Spring Festival could not be transferred to the capital.

Hearing Xiaopang's pitiful voice on the phone, Li Tang could imagine her expression at this time, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, if the filming here goes well, I'll come over to visit the set. If it doesn't go well... …When the time comes, I will ask for leave from the crew of "Shooting the Condor", and I will be able to find some time."

"Really? Teacher Li, you are so kind! Uh-"

Xiaopang was very excited immediately, and even kissed heavily on the phone.

Li Tang couldn't help smiling, and said, "Okay, let's do it this way, you should rest early, and you have to film tomorrow."

"OK Bye Bye!"

Xiaopang is in a good mood, and he will probably be able to sleep well tonight.

After hanging up the phone, Li Tang didn't feel much sleepy because he squinted for a while in the afternoon.I wanted to make a phone call with Jiang Qinqin, but I just dug out her name from the address book, so after thinking about it, forget it.

This woman has been sneaking him like fishing some time ago, to see if he can eat.He can't be too aggressive, so he might as well take advantage of this time to hang out for a while, and talk about it when she comes to visit the class.

Since I can’t sleep, I’ll watch a TV series. It happened to be “Kangxi Dynasty” starring Uncle Daoming recently. I watched a few episodes intermittently on Peach Blossom Island before, and it felt much worse than the previous “Yongzheng Dynasty”.

Recently, due to the popularity of "Kangxi Dynasty", there have been a lot of news boasting about Uncle Daoming's acting skills both online and in the media.However, in Li Tang's opinion, Uncle Daoming's big performance to coax laymen is okay. If you look carefully from a professional point of view, you will find that Uncle Daoming's version of Kangxi is actually too exposed, while Mr. Jiao Huang used restrained and calm The excellent acting skills fully interpret the image of Kangxi who is unfathomable and not angry.

Especially the physical movements of the characters, Mr. Jiao Huang beat Uncle Daoming by at least three blocks.

To put it bluntly, one is Kangxi and the other is Kangxi.

And Uncle Daoming's Kangxi is not even as good as Teacher Guoqiang's Yongzheng.Of course, this is also related to the themes of the two dramas. Mr. Guoqiang’s Yongzheng is a character who has experienced many ups and downs. Even princes and emperors have a lot of frustration and helplessness. The inner drama is full and the characters are full.

Uncle Daoming's Kangxi is more about praising a character, domineering and domineering, in short, he is wise and powerful, and he travels smoothly all the way, lacking the sense of weight of the character.

Of course, this is probably why the audience likes it, one word "cool".

TV dramas like "Kangxi Dynasty" are quite good to pass the time, but Li Tang couldn't help laughing while watching it.It turned out that the second young lady of the Bai family who played the role of the empress dowager in the TV series would always declare: How about my filial piety.

You must know that the so-called "Xiaozhuang" is a title given after death.This is similar to the emperor's temple name. For example, Emperor Kangxi, Kangxi is the year name, and the temple name after his death is Shengzu. Because the word "ren" is prominent in the posthumous title, later generations are generally honored as "Emperor Shengzu Ren".It's the same reason as honoring the deceased empress dowager "Xiaozhuang".

And the Empress Dowager who is actually alive on TV calls herself "Xiaozhuang". Didn't find it?

In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence: uneducated, too scary.

Watching the second young lady of the Bai family say "I am Xiaozhuang" on TV, Li Tang was disgusted, so he simply changed the channel.

I took the remote control and scanned around, and it happened that the drama channel of Zhejiang Cable TV was rebroadcasting "Daxue Wuhen". This is an anti-corruption drama.

Li Tang often watches TV dramas intermittently, and most of them can't watch all of them. Unless it's for business needs, he can buy discs and study them carefully from beginning to end.

In fact, the filming of this TV series is so-so, mainly because of acquaintances. The male lead Ren Chengwei is a senior in the 89th grade of the last drama, and now he is an actor in Mandarin, because he met his ex-girlfriend twice as a colleague, and she is a nice person.

The second male lead is He Zhengjun, a colleague from the drama center. It is rare for Mr. He with thick eyebrows and big eyes to play a villain, which is very fresh.

Li Tang pays more attention to the acting skills of the actors besides watching the plot when watching TV dramas. This may be an occupational disease as an actor.Compared with the superb acting skills of Ren Chengwei and He Zhengjun, Cao Ying, who plays the female lead, seems to be lacking in performance and lacking in heart.

Especially under the background of Ren Chengwei and He Zhengjun, Cao Ying's above-mentioned shortcomings in performance are even more magnified.But it is also understandable, after all, he is not from a professional background.

In fact, in the profession of an actor, those who are truly talented and fed by God, such as Zhou Xun, are really rare.Most actors are like all technical jobs. In addition to having certain talents, they need to go through systematic training. Otherwise, your lines will not pass, your body will be poor, you will not be able to perform crying scenes, and your facial features will not be very muscular. It's easy to control, and there's no way to act at all.

From Li Tang’s point of view, the biggest difference between China and the United States where he lived in his previous life is that most high schools in the United States have drama clubs and professional training teachers. Some universities have acting majors.

At present, the professional performance majors in China are concentrated in the three professional colleges of Chinese Opera, Shanghai Opera and Nortel. Although there are performance majors similar to Beiguang, Beijing Normal University, and Shandong Art College, the students from these schools in the circle Neither was very authentic.

Let's put it this way, the actor training system in the United States is a bit like the popularization of football youth training, because the base is large, there is a lot of room for selection, and the number of talents will naturally increase.

In China, because all provinces and cities have dance and opera training systems, there are actually a large number of candidates to choose from. Those who can go to Chinese opera, Shanghai opera and Nortel are actually very good.But with the decline of dance and opera, more students are selected from fresh high school graduates, and the quality of the students can be imagined.

It's no wonder that when Li Tang went back to his alma mater to visit the teacher last time, teacher Li Zhiyu lamented to him that those students who are currently studying drama and acting are really getting worse every year.

……

The International Trade Hotel is very close to the Jinhua River that passes through the city. Li Tang got up early in the morning to run around the river, returned to the hotel to take a shower, changed into sports clothes, and went to the restaurant downstairs to have a leisurely breakfast. Walk to Jinhua Gymnasium a few hundred meters away.

The film crew treated him fairly well. Apart from a suite at the World Traders Hotel, a car was specially arranged for him.

This is the first time he has acted in a film with a major director, at least in terms of logistical support, it is really extraordinary, and it is the first time he has enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Of course, there is no need for a car to pick up and drop off the distance of a few hundred meters.

When I came to the gymnasium, there were already martial artists from the crew training in the arena.Even though Li Tang was wearing a hat, he was recognized immediately.

"Ms. Li, are you here?"

Li Tang glanced around: "Did Cheng not come?"

"Come soon, Director Cheng usually arrives around 09:30."

"Well, you guys are busy, I want to see."

Steel wires were also hung in the gymnasium. Watching the martial arts brothers go up and down, or do some difficult movements with the help of steel wires, Li Tang observed for a while, and gradually he became more confident.The martial arts action in this drama is more shot with special effects, and the main focus is a good-looking one.

"Li Tang, it's so early!"

Just as he was fascinated by watching, a voice came from beside him.

Hearing the sound, it was Cheng Xiaodong who had arrived.

"Hello, Director Cheng, I'm here to report."

Although it was only the second meeting today since the two met once in Director Zhang's studio in the central villa area last time, they had a lot of calls during the period, so the meeting was very cordial.

"How's your marksmanship going?"

Cheng Xiaodong cared about Li Tang's marksmanship from the very beginning. After all, playing an action scene with Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianlian was very demanding.In the Northwest Desert, Jiuzhaigou Bamboo Forest, and Guilin Landscape, Li Lianlian played against Liang Chaowei and Zhang Yuyu, who had no kung fu foundation. In particular, Director Zhang’s requirements for detail were dozens or even hundreds of times higher than those of Hong Kong films. The difficulty made Cheng Xiaodong speechless.

Li Tang arrived, and although he had handed over all the marksmanship and routines to the opponent through video, after all, the training only lasted ten days, and he was also worried that if Li Tang was busy with other work or didn't discipline himself, time would be tight.

"It's okay to shoot now." Li Tang laughed.

Cheng Xiaodong glanced at him in surprise, and said in disbelief, "Try?"

"Okay, let's try."

Li Tang has been watching the training of the martial arts brothers just now, and Li Tang's hands are a little itchy.

"Zhang Ai!"

Cheng Xiaodong shouted into the arena.

"To!"

A young man who didn't look tall and looked young responded and hurried over.

"This is Zhang Ai, Li Lianlian's stand-in, you two try it."

Although the young man looked young, he was quick-witted. As soon as Cheng Xiaodong finished speaking, he quickly smiled at Li Tang, showing his big white teeth, and at the same time said cautiously: "Mr. Li, let's get used to it for a while?"

"Okay!"

Li Tang is as good as others.

Soon someone sent a prop gun.

However, Li Tang was not in a hurry to play tricks with Zhang Ai, but started to warm up first.

Anyone who knows it knows it. Seeing Li Tang's warm-up posture, everyone knew that this actor who had just joined the group knew what he was doing.

Taking advantage of the warm-up time, Li Tang chatted with Zhang Ai, Li Lianlian's stand-in, and learned that the young man had just turned [-]. He used to be a member of the Sichuan Wushu Team, and had won many provincial champions of Sword, Stick and Changquan. , because of his excellent swordsmanship and his stature similar to that of Li Lian, he was able to stand out from the many applicants.

The young man was very excited to be the stand-in of Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianlian, because Li Lianlian had a stand-in named Xiong Xinxin before, and he was already a Kung Fu star, and "Ghost Foot Seven" was impressive.

After some warm-up exercises, Li Tang fully moved his body, and got acquainted with the dance of the prop gun. Finally, he stood in the arena, smiled at Zhang Ai who was holding a long sword, and said, "Come on!"
