Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 287 Depressed Wu Jing

"Snapped!"

Li Tang lit a cigarette, closed the script and put it aside, poured a cup of warm chrysanthemum tea, and took a sip.Turning on the electric heater in the room is very warm, but the winter in the capital is too dry, coupled with the heating of the heater, dry and dry, if you don’t pay attention, you are prone to nose bleeding. Drink some chrysanthemums that disperse wind and clear heat, reduce fire and moisten lungs Tea works well.

It took me a whole morning to read the script. It was not as eye-catching as when I read the script of Cheng Er's "The Third Man", but it can't be considered bad, it is above average.

It is about a young couple who came to the capital full of hope to venture into the world. Seven years later, the man was unemployed and had nothing to do. Maybe out of saving face or not wanting his wife to worry, he pretended to go to work and wandered in the subway without telling his wife.And his wife Xiaohui, who works in the design studio, met the pursuit of the coffee shop owner, and fell into a dilemma of emotional vortex and was at a loss.

The frustrated man also met a kindergarten music teacher who was hospitalized with an eye injury. Perhaps out of revenge, or perhaps because he was attracted by the unique temperament of the other party, he was willing to be a licking dog and went to the hospital every day to take care of him, and then naturally developed A relationship.

Kindergarten music teacher suffered a gas explosion while dating her chef boyfriend and injured her eyes. The kind chef chose to quit. Later, she met a salesman who was also kind and sincere in her relationship. She had been betrayed by her boyfriend and sold nutritious breakfast in the subway every day. Together.

A love story between a beautiful photo studio clerk and a dumb boy intersperses.

The whole story is written very delicately, with both reality and beauty, including the little depression, inferiority complex, escape, jealousy, empathy and emotional suffering that ordinary people encounter in ordinary life.And it is these various small subtle contradictions that can eventually accumulate and cause great psychological conflicts.

Of course, the script of the movie always has its idealized side, such as the man and the kindergarten music teacher, his wife Xiaohui and the coffee shop owner. Their beautiful relationship builds the overall warm and romantic tone.

In addition, the narrative of the whole script is unique, and the text is more like a prose, which is somewhat suspected of being a gimmick. No wonder Xiaopang can't stand it.

Ashes fell from the cigarette in meditation, he quickly stubbed out the cigarette butt, stood up and patted, picked up the broom and swept the ground clean.At this time, there was a knock on the door.

During this period of time, I learned that he was in the capital, and there were quite a few people who contacted him, but those who could visit were limited to some close friends, such as the former Jia Yuling, Li Jie who had a good relationship with the crew of "Swordsman", including Cheng Er Sun Li, the art designer of "Criminal" and "The Third Man", etc.

This guy Sun Li is also doing well now. After filming "The Third Man", he was photographed by director Sun Zhou and became the art director of the literary film "Zhou Yu's Train" starring Liang Jiahui and Gong Li. Now he is in the circle Nei had found his footing.

"Who?"

Li Tang was a little puzzled, it was almost the Chinese New Year, and everyone who was supposed to come had already been here, who could it be?

As a result, an unexpected voice came from outside: "Me!"

Li Tangdun was pleasantly surprised, and it turned out to be the familiar baby face when he opened the door.

"Didn't your dad say you won't go home for the New Year this year?"

A few days ago, he just went to Wu's house to pay New Year's greetings. It is said that Wu Jing is still filming and has no time to go home for the New Year.

"It's finished ahead of time. Hey, help me pick it up."

This guy was still carrying a big bag in his hand.

Li Tang quickly reached out to take it, and said with a smile: "You come as soon as you say, why are you so polite?"

"You go to my house every year. If I don't come, it will look like I have no manners." Then, this guy opened the back door of the dilapidated Santana again, and took out a big gift box. Printed "Martell Cordon Bleu".

"Hey, don't take this, you know I don't drink foreign wine."

Although he was an American in his previous life, as long as he drank Moutai, most of them would not be too interested in foreign wine, unless it was for pretense.

Chinese stomach is of course best for Chinese wine.

"I still have it over there, for a change, or as a gift!"

After flying the Zhengbai flag, one of the three flags, there is no reason to take back the things that were taken out.

"Yes, please come in quickly. You said that you didn't call ahead, and the family was not prepared."

"It's okay, you don't have to be so particular about it, you can eat whatever you have. I came to see you today, except for New Year's greetings, mainly to drink with you. You said that for more than a year, we brothers have not been together."

"That's because you're busy!"

In the past two years, ancient costume martial arts dramas have become very popular. Actors like Wu Jing who are famous and have real kung fu are especially sought-after. It is rare to shoot three or four TV dramas a year.

Putting down the things, Wu Jing looked around the small courtyard again, and said with some emotion: "Well, it's still the same, it hasn't changed."

When he looked up, he saw the three-meter-long white wax pole hanging horizontally under the eaves of the main house, and said again: "How is your marksmanship doing now, have you put it down?"

"I rely on this to make a living, how can I put it down? Let me tell you, when I was filming "Hero", Brother Jie said that my marksmanship is good."

Seeing Li Tang's embarrassing face, Wu Jing was envious and jealous. For those who came out of Shichahai Sports School, Li Lianlian was not only an idol, but also a god, especially his path was almost exactly the same as Li Lianlian when he first debuted. Filmed "Shaolin Temple" and played Jue Yuan.It was once called "the successor of Li Lianlian", but unfortunately now...

Thinking about how she was still in the TV circle, and the gap between Li Lianlian and Li Lianlian was widening, Wu Jing felt ashamed and flustered.The key is that he, the "successor of Li Lianhe", not only has never cooperated with Li Lianhe, he has never even had the opportunity to play a trick.Now when I hear Li Tang talking about how he and Li Lian were filming together, I can't help being envious and jealous.

Li Tang didn't mean to provoke him on purpose, he only showed off if he had a good relationship. Seeing that the other party's expression was wrong, he quickly stopped talking and dragged Wu Jing into the room.

"Come on, let's drink tea first. I'll order a few dishes with Lao Cai later, and we two brothers will have a good drink at noon. Moutai will take care of it!"

I replaced the chrysanthemum tea that cleared the fire and nourished the lungs, and brewed a pot of Puer tea that was sent back to Li Yapeng. It is said that it is an old tea picked from an ancient tea tree and fermented for several years. It sounds very high-end, but I didn't feel anything special when I drank it.

Of course, love is still essential.In fact, among the many actors he has worked with, Li Yapeng is the one who knows how to behave, but he looks a little fake and feels unreal.

Ever since Xiaopang knew how to cook, Li Tang seldom ordered food from Lao Cai's restaurant. In addition, there have been many dinners recently, this is the first time he has ordered food in the capital.

Because I ordered a few hard dishes, it took a little longer. After waiting for almost half an hour, I saw a dark and thin young man come to deliver the food.

"Xiaoyue didn't come to work today?"

When paying the money, Li Tang asked more, because the chubby Xiaoyue with a Henan accent was the one who delivered the food before.

The black and skinny guy with a dirty mouth said: "Oh, you said Xiaoyue, he left early, I heard that he went to the Dawanju in Fangzhuang."

"Oh, this is two hundred, don't look for it."

Li Tang didn't care either. After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places. Even if you are a waiter, you have to pursue it.As he spoke, he took out two sheets of Grandpa Mao and handed them over.

A few dishes add up to about 170, and the remaining 20 yuan is considered a tip.

At the beginning, I also looked at Xiaoyue as pitiful, but I got used to it over time.

The black and thin guy's eyes lit up immediately, and he bowed hurriedly: "Thank you! Thank you!"

Just kidding, more than 20 yuan can cover his daily wages.

When the dishes were served, Wu Jing had already opened a bottle of Moutai and poured two glasses of wine, one of which was just a little errand.

"Come on, have a drink first!"

It may be that I was stimulated just now, but I want to toast this product when I pick it up.

Li Tang hurriedly said: "You can take it easy..."

Seeing that he hadn't finished speaking, he heard the guy touch the cup in his hand, and then he really drank it.

"Cool!"

After swallowing it in one gulp, he smashed his mouth and raised his head and roared.

Li Tang had no choice but to drink the cup with him, and immediately said: "Don't do it next time, drink slowly."

The two of them knew the basics, and their capacity for alcohol was about the same. If they really wanted to drink like this, they would have to get down after only a few drinks.

Seeing Li Tang having a drink with her, Wu Jing's depressed mood inexplicably eased up, men are sometimes so simple.

Then the two began to drink slowly.

"How many days did you come back to rest this time?" Li Tang asked while eating peanuts from Kung Pao Chicken.

"It's about half a month. After the seventh day of the first month, you have to join the group."

"What scene are you filming this time?"

"As usual, in the play directed by Liu Jiaping, "Shaolin King of Martial Arts", Mr. Yu Chenghui, and Mr. Ji Chunhuaji all starred in it. I will play the male lead."

Director Liu Jiaping may sound unfamiliar to the outside world, but he is well-known in the circle.As early as the early 90s, he formed the first domestic film and television stunt team at that time - the Beijing Dragon Film and Television Stunt Team, and participated in the shooting of many film and television dramas.Later, he changed careers and became a director. Last year's hit "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" was directed by him.

When Li Tang heard that Wang Renze and Vulture were all there, and it was still about Shaolin, he couldn't help laughing and said, "So you want to act far away again?"

"No, the Shaolin Temple was about the Tang Dynasty, and this time it's about the Ming Dynasty. Oh, by the way, you know the two heroines this time."

"Who is it?"

"The first female number is Yaqi, and the second female number is Huang Yi. They are fellow villagers with you, and they even said that they have worked with you before."

"Yes, we made a short film together, which was directed by Cheng Er, their graduation project of Nortel. Although this girl is not from a major, she has good acting skills."

He is very familiar with Huang Yi. As for Yaqi, she was the one who collaborated with her ex-girlfriend and Xiaopang in the filming of "Youth Out".However, this girl also signed a contract under Sister Hua's banner, and she has developed well in the past few years, and she can often be seen on TV.

After drinking for three rounds, Wu Jing was a little more drunk than Li Tang because of the rush of drinking, and shook his head and said, "Actually, I am quite envious of you. Not only can you be in a play directed by Zhang Yimou and cooperate with Brother Jie, but now you are also independent. Became the boss. You said it's only been a few years, and you just..."

Halfway through the speech, he sighed deeply again: "In the past two years, I also want to transform into movies, but I have never had the opportunity."

He developed in Hong Kong as soon as he debuted, and his luck was also bad. When Hong Kong movies went downhill, coupled with his identity as a mainland boy, it was even more difficult to make a name for himself in the film field.

But Li Tang wasn't worried about his future at all, he was Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang after all!

At this moment, he could only comfort him with a smile: "Take your time, don't rush, there will always be opportunities in the future."

Wu Jing raised her head suddenly, opened her mouth hesitantly, and finally said: "You are your own boss now, if you have any good opportunities in the future, don't forget me!"

"What are you talking about, we are our own people. But having said that, I think you are good at the field of action movies. You should hone your skills in this field. Even if you can't become 'Lee Link Second' in the future, then you must do 'Wu Fine first' ah!"

What Li Tang said really regarded Wu Jing as his own. He has the specialty of martial arts, and his image is not bad.The reason why the so-called martial arts movies and action movies are in the doldrums today is nothing more than the result of the poor filming in the past few years and the backlash.But martial arts movies are the characteristics of Chinese movies, and action movies will always be the main theme of commercial movies, and there will always be a day when they will shine.

As for letting him continue to cultivate in the field of action movies, to put it bluntly, Ye Luzi's acting skills are not up to the mark at all. If you throw him a book of literary and artistic movies now, can he act?

OK?

Wu Jing bowed her head and didn't say a word. Although Li Tang's words were a bit unpleasant, they were all telling the truth. When it came to acting, he had worked hard to hone his skills, but in the end, his talent was limited, and he hadn't received systematic basic training. If you don't talk about it, it will be very difficult for him to pass the test if he just talks about the lines.

After a long while, he raised his head, picked up the cup and said, "Anyway, don't forget, come on, let's have a drink!"

Not much this time, just for about one or two, Li Tang had a drink with him very simply.

Then he couldn't help but take care and said: "Drink so much, don't drive for a while. By the way, you have earned a lot from filming TV dramas in the past two years, right? Why do you still drive this broken car?"

The guy waved his hand and said: "It's not what you said, the car is half the price. Besides, I'm out filming all year round, and I don't really use much time. Let's drive it while I'm alive."

Wu Jing was still drunk after all, so Li Tang could only help him to sleep in the guest room in the west wing.I made another pot of Pu'er and sat in the main room to sober up slowly.

After lying on the sofa for a while, Zeng Jia came.

Zeng Jia is currently busy with the decoration design of the office, and will start the decoration after the workers come up after the Chinese New Year.As for the recruitment of personnel, the accountant hired an old accountant who had just retired from a state-owned enterprise.

As for publicity and planning, she actually poached Rong Xinda, her master when she entered the industry.It's nothing more than that Rong Xinda's salary is not high, and there are two female bosses who have always been known for being powerful and are entering menopause. They are really hard to serve.

"Brother, how much did you drink at noon?" Zeng Jia was overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol as soon as she entered the room.

As he said that, he looked into the house and said, "I see Brother Jing's car is parked outside, where is he?"

"I drank too much and fell asleep in the guest room."

Li Tang pointed to the script on the coffee table and said, "You should read this book first."

Zeng Jia picked it up to look at the cover, and read in a low voice: ""The Subway to Spring", Liu Fendou! The name is quite artistic."

After smiling, he sat down and looked through.

Li Tang poured her a cup of tea and continued to take a nap with his eyes closed.
