Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 280 Composite?

Do you want to pick up "Purple Butterfly"?

Are you kidding me, that's Lou Ye!
This is not a question of whether to accept it, but a question of striving for it.

As a frequent visitor to various European film festivals, Lou Ye is second only to Zhang Yimou and Director Chen. As for Feng Pants, who has topped the box office of domestic films for years with Lunar New Year comedies and claims to be one of the "three major directors in China" , the name in the world - no such person was found.

These days, in an environment where Chinese people are generally not confident and worship foreigners, to be able to make a name for themselves internationally is definitely a top existence in China.If one of the three major European film festivals wins an actor, he will definitely eat it for a lifetime.

The most obvious example is Xia Yu, don't look at him as a fool, just relying on the Venetian actor's signature, he has never been short of resources.Under Hua Jie's banner, it belongs to the first tier of movie cafes.

Moreover, there are too few film resources these days, and there are very few film projects with an investment of more than 3000 million.Previously, director Xie Jin's investment of 3000 million "The Opium War" was called an epic masterpiece, and Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming" is said to have an investment of more than [-] million.

So there is nothing to hesitate, you must fight for it!
Zeng Jia came early the next day, and Li Tang had just finished his run.Wangzhuang covers a large area, just beside the Leifeng Pagoda, with a perfect combination of mountains and lakes.There is also a chairman building in the village. It is said that Mao Zedong stayed here many times.Li Tang asked gossip about the house price, and it cost [-] yuan to live in the chairman's building for one night.

"It's so early, wait for me, we just have breakfast together."

Without a room card, you can't get in. Li Tang received a call from the front desk to confirm, and then the armed police guarding the gate let him go.

Zeng Jia's brows and eyes were slightly tired, but she was in good spirits.After Li Tang changed his clothes and went to the restaurant together, she couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, have you read the script, how is it?"

"pretty good!"

"Brother, I suggest that you better hurry up and talk to Director Lou Ye."

"What's the matter, what did Miss An say?"

After Li Tang read the script, he felt that the Shanghai Xiaokai Situ who was forced to be involved in the struggle between China and Japan was almost tailor-made for him.At first, he thought it was not a big problem, after all, Naian gave him the script, needless to say the relationship between Lou Ye and him, the most important thing is that he is confident that he can play this role well.

Zeng Jia didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Brother, who do you think is the hottest young actor in China recently?"

"Uh……"

It's really hard to say, the young actor, some people may say it is Lu Yi, or Zhou Jie, Chen Kun, or Li Tang himself.They are all popular in one or two hit dramas. If you really want to say who is the hottest, it's really hard to say.

But Li Tang immediately thought of a name that he had heard and seen frequently recently.

"Could it be Liu Ye?"

The newly promoted Golden Horse Best Actor, he and Hu Jun starred in "Lan Yu", although because of the subject matter, he won the Golden Horse Best Actor in one fell swoop at the end of last month, which caused a sensation in the media recently.

In the final analysis, it is because the Chinese people are not confident. The Hong Kong Film Awards, the Bay Bay Golden Horse Awards and the Mainland's Golden Rooster Awards are also known as the three major awards for Chinese-language films.

Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have long been monopolized for the Golden Statue Awards and Golden Horse Awards, and mainland actors are almost rare.However, their own Golden Rooster Award is not up to the mark. It sits in a row with fruit and fruit, and double yolk eggs appear from time to time. It is criticized by the media every time.

In fact, the film is something that the beholder sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. It is hard to say that it is absolutely fair.Even the Oscars are often controversial, and the unique lobbying culture of the United States makes bribery and backdoor opening sound high-sounding, of course, the premise is that you can't stretch your hips too much.

There is a saying that roughly means that several parties are under the same conditions, so it depends on whoever bids the most can get this priority condition.

Do you want to say that Hong Kong's Golden Statue Awards and Wanwan's Golden Horse Awards are more fair than the Golden Rooster Awards?First of all, the registration requirements are limited. Not all mainland films can participate in the selection of these two awards. They must have funds from the two places or the participation of the main creators from the two places to register for the selection.

Although based on the principle of equality, the Golden Rooster Award also has restrictions in this regard.But to put it bluntly, the media's touting of the Golden Horse Awards or the Golden Image Awards stems from the filter of the developed society of Hong Kong and Taiwan and their own lack of self-confidence.

Sure enough, Zeng Jia nodded and said: "Sister An said that Liu Ye's agent is in contact with Shanghai Film Studio, hoping to win the role of the male lead. But Sister An also said that the casting is still directed by Lou Ye. Opinion prevails."

Thinking about it, Lou Ye, who is a producer, screenwriter, and director, would definitely not allow others to participate in the casting, not even the patron's father.

Liu Ye's manager is none other than Xiaopang's manager Chang Jihong.Li Tang knew that this seemingly low-key manager actually had deep connections in the industry.

"Okay, let's go after breakfast."

Li Tang once had a relationship with Liu Ye. In his memory, he was a sunny boy with a very familiar attribute. He was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor early on.This time he was able to break through the siege in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles and win the Golden Horse Best Actor, Li Tang did not dare to underestimate this opponent.

Because he knows very well that Lou Ye's choice of actors will not be disturbed by favors, it just depends on whether you fit the image of the character in his mind.Of course, such a large investment this time must also consider the future box office. The actor's star attributes and box office appeal must also be considered.

Although the domestic box office of "The Third Man" is good, it surpassed "Scraping" starring Liang Jiahui and Jiang Wenli, which was released in the summer, and currently ranks No.19 in the annual box office list.But with Liu Ye currently holding the newly promoted Golden Horse actor, Li Tang dare not say that he can gain any advantage.

So it is necessary to communicate in advance, lest Lou Ye likes the new and hates the old.

After a hasty breakfast, check out and head to Shanghai.Originally, Li Tang planned to go back to his hometown first, and after contacting Lou Ye on the phone, he rushed directly to the city.

When I actually met Lou Ye, there was nothing to talk about. Li Tang just sent him a message. Naian gave me the script, I like it very much, and I want to play the role of Situ. Human characters are fine too.

Lou Ye told him that it would definitely not work to play a Japanese.After all, if you have money, you must find a real Japanese to play the role of the Japanese.As for the role of Situ, in order to balance all aspects of the relationship, an audition is still required, so let him prepare well.

In fact, the director, to use an inappropriate metaphor, is a scumbag. They always pursue novelty and like to try various possibilities.The so-called royal actors, unless the bastard saw mung beans right, or the kind with good acting skills, cheap enough and obedient.

In the communication with Lou Ye, he also saw that Lou Ye really didn't think well when choosing a candidate for the role of Situ, the leading male lead.

After all, this book was first created by Lou Ye more than ten years ago. For a self-written and directed director, when creating a script, especially the most important characters, there is usually a template in mind.It's easy for Li Tang to guess who this template is, but now this template is no longer suitable.

Therefore, the audition that Lou Ye mentioned was probably not a formality, but that he really wanted to find the most suitable candidate for Situ in his mind through the audition.

……

New Year's Day in 2002 passed quickly.

The business of the restaurant in his hometown is still booming, and Li Xiaoxiao's grades are very stable. In the future, there is basically no problem in being admitted to a university. The difference lies in whether he can be admitted to a key university of his choice.

After Li Tang spent New Year's Day in his hometown, he returned to his old apartment in the city in a sensible manner.After all, Dad and Aunt Xiao are currently mixing oils with each other. Xiao Xiao usually lives on campus, and although everyone lives upstairs and downstairs at home, he is still worried that the two elders will not let go because of himself. , affecting their sexual well-being.

Of course, the main reason is that Jiang Qinqin's role has also been wrapped up after the New Year's Day, and it is also a blend of honey and oil, and it is indispensable to be gentle.In view of the good experience of staying in Hangzhou Wangzhuang last time, Li Tang chose the Xijiao Hotel in Shanghai this time.

There are many people in Wuyuan Road Apartment, but he still pays attention to his own image.

But this time it also reminded him that the house in Xujiahui Garden should be renovated, and the Three Caves of the Rabbit is very necessary for him.

Zeng Jia had already returned to the capital city. After discussing the location of the studio, it would be more appropriate to put it in the capital city. Finding an office location and recruiting personnel, this series of preparatory work was enough for her to be busy.

Fatty is still busy filming "Jade Guanyin", the scenes in the capital will continue until the Chinese New Year, and when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the scene will be transferred to Yunnan again for filming.

Xiaopang's role is very heavy, and the filming is very hard. Although Li Tang has not had time to visit the set, he can hear from the daily phone calls that this shooting experience is likely to be a part of her acting career for Xiaopang. A Nirvana rebirth.

After Jiang Qinqin left, Li Tang was not idle during this time. Apart from going around for necessary relationships, he started to study the script of "Purple Butterfly" when he had nothing to do.Lou Ye told him to prepare well, but he didn't dare to be careless at all.At the same time, he also wanted to take this audition as an exam for himself.

Today, he can be regarded as having his own place among the new generation of male actors in China. To paraphrase a popular saying in later generations, he can be regarded as a top-notch niche now, a top-notch niche with both appearance and acting skills.

As an actor, the more prominent you are, the more room you have to be selected.And the bigger the director is, the less he will be disturbed by the outside world when inspecting actors, which means that there may be more and more opportunities for such real auditions in the future.If you want to appear in front of others, in addition to suffering behind the scenes, you must also make sufficient psychological preparations.

……

"Are you in Shanghai?"

"That's right, I just arrived today, and I'm going to be filming here during this period of time. It's not convenient for Fang, why don't you come out and meet?"

He was still saying that his ex-girlfriend had been busy filming TV dramas and hadn't appeared for a long time. This person really couldn't bear to talk about it. On this day, Li Tang received a call from his ex-girlfriend.

"Okay, tell me where."

"I live in Huating Hotel, see you at the coffee shop on the second floor."

"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, although I haven't contacted my ex-girlfriend for more than half a year, how should I put it, there seems to be a trace of ties.Each other's first love, each other's first time, the feelings of being together for more than three years, these little things will always be the best memories.

Li Tang tidied up a bit, and then drove the old Happiness 90 to the Huating Hotel where his ex-girlfriend stayed.

The Huating Hotel is diagonally opposite the Shanghai Film Studio, and there is no traffic jam when driving a motorcycle. After passing through twelve traffic lights, it only took about ten minutes, seven or eight minutes earlier than the agreed time, and arrived at the coffee shop on the second floor of the Huating Hotel.

On weekdays, there were not many people in the coffee shop, and the ex-girlfriend had already arrived early, sitting in a relatively secluded booth, when she saw Li Tang coming in, she quickly stood up and waved to him.

"any drinks?"

"casual."

Li Tang usually seldom talks casually to others, but when faced with the laziness and casualness of his ex-girlfriend, he blurts out.

The ex-girlfriend is also quite used to it, and she won't say anything casual, so she ordered the popular siphon coffee, a fruit plate, and a small cream square.

"Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"

Li Tang was a little surprised when he heard that his ex-girlfriend asked for a creamy recipe.

"Hee hee, it's a rare time. It happens that Xiuxiu is not here, and I just happen to satisfy my hunger."

It has been nearly nine years since the two met on the campus of Shanghai Opera in the fall of [-].Seeing his ex-girlfriend showing a rare innocent smirk at this time, he couldn't help but think of the scene of the rustic, dark and thin country girl when the two met for the first time.

Being in a trance is a momentary thing. When he saw his ex-girlfriend looking at him with a smile, he hurriedly covered up and said, "Where is Xiuxiu, she didn't come with you?"

"We came together, but this time we came early. First, I wanted to visit Teacher Li, and second, I took the opportunity to rest for two days. It's not rare to have a chance to rest. She also happened to go to Hangzhou to meet her former friends. .”

"Teacher Li Zhiyu is very nice. When I went to see him two days ago, he even asked me about your situation." Li Tang said.

In contrast, the ex-girlfriend is teacher Li Zhiyu's real favorite student, including the fact that his ex-girlfriend was able to play Li Bao'er in "Daming Palace Ci", and the support of teacher Li Zhiyu who played Li Zhi was indispensable.

Of course, Li Tang is famous now. He has successively won the Huabiao Film Newcomer Award, the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, and the Best Actor Award in the Upstream Unit of the Venice Film Festival. Students who are good students will naturally be valued and proud by the school and teachers.It is said that when Mr. Li Zhiyu is leading the performance class of the 93th grade, he often uses Li Tang as a role model to encourage students.

"That's right, if I had known, I would have gone with you." The ex-girlfriend said with a charming smile.

"If we go together, Mr. Li would think we are getting back together." Li Tang couldn't help laughing.

"complex?"

The ex-girlfriend looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "If you really want to get back together, would you agree?"
