Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 294 Looking at it from the perspective of development
"I can't get your love, like a spring flower without rain; if you don't give me an infatuation, like a spring flower in a dream leaving a little phantom; I want your love, I want your infatuation..."

Amidst Yao Li's magnetic and enchanting singing, Li Tang danced with his ex-girlfriend.The ex-girlfriend is very accurate in handling the characters, lowering her head slightly, but raising her eyes to look at Li Tang from time to time, her eyes meet, but she immediately avoids her eyes like a frightened bunny, with a shy smile on her face all the time.

After all, no matter how open women were in those days, they still couldn't get rid of their reserved and shy side.In today's words, it is probably the kind of smoldering, the kind that wants to refuse and welcome.This is quite similar to the character of his ex-girlfriend.

Li Tang kept looking at his ex-girlfriend with a gentle smile.The character of Situ is actually quite simple. Although his personality is introverted, sensitive and timid, but at this moment when facing the person he loves, his eyes become more and more fiery.

At the beginning, his dance steps were a bit blunt. After all, he hadn’t danced a dance like rumba for several years, but with the help of his ex-girlfriend, he slowly found the rhythm, and the dance steps became smoother.

After several peeks and evasions, the ex-girlfriend gradually let go, and finally mustered up the courage to meet Li Tang's burning gaze and no longer avoid it. The shyness in the eyes gradually faded away, replaced by the deep obsession... …

When the dance music finally stopped, as the last line of the lyrics stretched out, the music stopped, and Li Tang and his ex-girlfriend also stopped dancing.

This is the first time the two have acted together since graduation.In the past, watching Li Tang's performance on the screen or on the screen was not very intuitive, but after joining hands today, the ex-girlfriend deeply realized that Li Tang was no longer the Wuxia Ameng in school back then. His performance was natural, accurate, and infectious. In the second half, I was almost following his rhythm.

"Clap clap clap!"

But the ex-girlfriend didn't have time to think about it. When the two stopped, Lou Ye had already clapped his hands.

"good, very good!"

Lou Ye had a gentle smile as always, but surprise flashed in his eyes.

He knew Li Tang's acting skills well, and this kid had been preparing for a long time, no matter how good his acting was, he would not be surprised.But Li Bingbing was different, she was obviously the one who took the initiative, and the peeking, evasive eyes and shy expression were very accurate.

He even had a picture in his mind: On a rainy night, a man and a woman ran into the room, dripping wet.On a rainy night, under the dim orange light, the ambiguous atmosphere began to be confused...

Yi Ling turned on the gramophone, the music started, Yao Li's charming singing began to flow, and Yi Ling swayed slowly with the music.Situ stood there, smiling and looking at his lover, while nodding and shaking with the rhythm of the music.

Yi Ling jumped in front of Situ, spreading her hands to invite, and Situ put his hand into hers. From being shy and blunt at the beginning, to gradually getting in tune with each other, and finally blending into one perfectly.

At the same time, Lou Ye also confirmed the candidate for Yi Ling in his mind.Why did he ask Li Bingbing to dance only one part of the dance, because in his opinion, the only part of Yi Ling's scene is the part where she dances with Situ, which is the most brilliant or the most important part of this character.

The existence of the character Yi Ling is the driving force behind Situ's change, and the core of this promotion is love.The section where the two dance together symbolizes the germination, enthusiasm, and final sublimation of their love.

Apparently, Li Bingbing's performance just now exceeded his expectations, and he was very pleasantly surprised.

"Thank you Director!"

The ex-girlfriend didn't seem to be separated from the emotions of the characters, she smiled shyly, and then subconsciously cast her eyes on Li Tang.

Li Tang gave her a thumbs up.

The ex-girlfriend's performance has improved a lot over the years, the details of the characters are very clear, and the rhythm is also very good.

Lou Ye and Nai'an have worked together for many years, and they have cooperated tacitly for a long time, and they can often understand each other's meaning with just a look.

So Naian spoke first: "Bingbing, do you have a schedule in June and July?"

While Naian was speaking, he also looked at Li Xiuxiu, because when Li Tang introduced Li Xiuxiu, it was stated that Li Xiuxiu was Li Binbin's executive manager.

This kind of situation where family members act as agents is very common in the circle, after all, the fat and water don't flow to outsiders.Of course, the premise is that you must be popular enough. Even if you don’t rely on the connections of a professional agent, there are still various film and television companies and brand owners flocking to you.

"Uh……"

The ex-girlfriend didn't realize it for a while, Naian's words obviously meant that the director approved, and the next step was to talk about the schedule and contract.

This is Lou Ye's movie!
A huge surprise enveloped her, making her mind go blank for an instant.

Li Xiuxiu, on the other hand, was calmer. She asked first, "Is there a more specific date?"

Naian glanced at Lou Ye and said, "About mid-June, we need Bingbing's one-month schedule."

As soon as Nai'an finished speaking, before Li Xiuxiu could speak, her ex-girlfriend came to her senses and hurriedly said: "No problem, Sister An, the director, I have no problem at all."

……

The three of them came down from upstairs until they got into the car. The ex-girlfriend was still immersed in the excitement, and couldn't wait to say: "I didn't expect today to be so smooth. Li Tang, thank you!"

She knew very well that without the biography written by Li Tang, including the cooperation during the dance just now, she would never have performed so well.

"It's okay, it's because you acted well, and you were lucky." Li Tang smiled and said.

In fact, at this time, he was more or less depressed. The role of ex-girlfriend was finalized, but Lou Ye didn't mention a word on his side, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Tang guessed right, Lou Ye did have other ideas.Because he already had a good candidate in his mind, that is Liu Ye, the new Golden Horse actor recommended by Chang Jihong through the Shanghai Film Studio.

This young man is not bad, shy and shy, especially his big wet eyes are like a frightened deer, which fits the image of Situ in his mind.

But here comes the problem, Li Tang also wants to act, and his interpretation of the script and characters is quite in place.Also, he was very satisfied with Li Binbin just now, but this was based on his performance with Li Tang. Would Li Binbin's performance be so amazing if it was someone else?He wasn't sure.Just like Zhou Xun's explosive power when he met Li Tang when he was filming "Suzhou River".

Acting is something mysterious at times, and it's also a collective project.No matter how amazing the performance is, it needs green leaves to set it off, otherwise it will not only fail to add points, but also destroy the atmosphere of the whole play.

In addition, Liu Ye's image is quite suitable, but will there be a stable performance like Li Tang?Lou Ye was also not sure.

On the one hand, it is clear and safe; on the other hand, it is uncertain and risky, but he really wants to try this kind of uncertainty.Ever since, he was caught in a dilemma.

Naian saw Lou Ye's contradiction at this time, but she didn't talk too much, after all, she had already expressed her opinion before.Li Tang's acting skills are reliable and safe, and at the same time he is more or less well-known overseas.

What does Liu Ye have, just relying on a golden horse actor?Maybe he has an advantage in domestic releases, but Li Tang's popularity with "Swordsman" and two good box office movies "The Story of Escort" and "The Third Man" are enough to prove his influence.

Naian sorted out the information at hand, and said to Lou Ye: "Do you think the candidate for the role of Xie Ming, the male number three?"

The male number three Xie Ming is the leader of the resistance organization in the script, and has the same emotional entanglements as the female number one.If the Japanese Itami Hidehiko represents the past of the female number one, then Xie Ming represents the present of the female number one.

Naian and Zhang Rong went through screening, and the candidate they recommended to Lou Ye was Feng Yuanzheng, an actor from Beijing Renyi.On the one hand, of course, his acting skills are good, but more importantly, last year's "Don't Talk to Strangers" made him explode.Although this fire has the meaning of fear and black and red among the audience, it also fits the ruthless temperament of the leader of the resistance organization.

Lou Ye, who was holding a small digital camera to watch the dancing scenes of Li Tang and Li Binbin just captured by Zeng Jian, paused when he heard this, nodded after pondering for a moment, "No problem, it's just him."

"Okay, since you agree, then I will contact him."

Although the start of the film is scheduled for June, various preparatory work has already started, especially for the actors, when it comes to scheduling issues, many of them have to start contacting and coordinating months or even half a year in advance.

Lou Ye's eyes just returned to the camera's small monitor, and he pressed the pause button again, then raised his head and said, "Is there any echo from Zhang Ziyi's side?"

Naian shook his head: "Not yet."

As he spoke, he said helplessly: "Her brother is quite difficult to deal with."

Lou Ye frowned and said, "Didn't you meet her in person last time?"

"That's right, but she is now running between Hong Kong and Hollywood, and her brother is in charge of domestic brokerage affairs. Now I can only deal with her brother."

Lou Ye sat there without saying a word.For him, Zhang Ziyi is the best candidate for the female number one. The only problem now is that the salary is too high, and it is a bit difficult to talk about.At the same time, a popular star like her has no shortage of scripts, so she is afraid that someone will get there first.

If this is the case, then who should the female lead turn to?Maybe only the weekly newsletter.

Zhou Xun and Li Tang, these two names flashed in his mind, which made him a little annoyed, because the performances of these two people were predictable and there were no surprises.

But what about Li Tang and Zhang Ziyi?

Although the two had just filmed "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, it was learned from Li Tang that the two did not meet in the film at all, and they did not even meet each other during the filming.

The collision between the two of them might be something to look forward to.

……

The plane landed at the Capital Airport smoothly.

As a first-class passenger, Li Tang greeted the stewardesses who took a photo with him before getting off the plane and went directly to the VIP passage.

There was no news from Lou Ye for a long time. After the Lantern Festival, he stopped waiting in Shanghai.After all, there are still a lot of things going on in the capital.

Zeng Jia and the driver Shen Lin were already waiting at the door.

"elder brother!"

"boss!"

I hadn't seen him for more than 20 days, but the driver Shen Lin responded to the saying "every festive season puts on three catties" with a rounded face and a lot of energy.

But Zeng Jia could clearly see the look of exhaustion in his eyes.

"Jiajia, you have worked hard!"

"Master Shen, happy new year!"

Shen Lin picked up the luggage consciously, quickened his pace and walked ahead.

Li Tang and Zeng Jia walked behind side by side.

Zeng Jia is tall, wearing a pair of medium-heeled leather shoes, she is two or three centimeters shorter than Li Tang. In addition, she has a good figure, so she looks quite right from behind.

"Anyway, there's plenty of time, so there's no rush to decorate."

To put it bluntly now, he is throwing away the shopkeeper, and Zeng Jia is basically responsible for all the work in the studio.

"fine!"

Although Zeng Jia looked tired, she was in good spirits. She tossed her long shawl hair and said with a smile, "Brother, it's not like you don't know me. I'm just impatient and can't be idle."

"Then there's no need to work so hard." Li Tang said somewhat reluctantly.

During the Spring Festival, the two kept in touch by phone, and Zeng Jia basically reported work to him.Throughout the Spring Festival holiday, this girl was working the rest of the time, except for two days of rest when she went home to celebrate the new year.

After getting in the car, Zeng Jia couldn't wait to take out a dozen renderings, handed them over and said, "The design renderings have come out. Brother, look, the factory has also assigned us the vacant land from the office building to the factory building." , so that the two sides are enclosed and become an independent space. People from the design company suggested to me that part of this open space is used as a parking space, and the other part can be used as a small garden..."

Zeng Jia explained to Li Tang one by one.The basic idea of ​​the design is to maintain the original style of the facade of the factory building, which is a popular design style in the world today, and it can be called avant-garde in China.

The factory building at the back will not be used for a while, so a few renderings have been released first, but Zeng Jia plans to renovate the interior a little bit during the renovation, set up a rehearsal area, and set up a screening room.

At present, it is mainly the decoration of the three-story office building, with an area of ​​more than 400 square meters. With the current scale of the studio, in addition to the first floor of the third floor as Li Tang's office, the reception room and a lounge where he can sleep , other staff including Zeng Jia himself, the first floor is too spacious.

The decoration design company that Zeng Jia found was quite reliable, and Li Tang was very satisfied with the renderings, so he immediately nodded and said, "Let's do it this way."

"Okay, the workers have been returning to Beijing one after another in the past few days. If you hurry up, work will start at the end of the month."

Zeng Jia nodded, and said, still a little worried: "What I'm most afraid of now is whether the factory will be demolished or not, and when it will be demolished. It would be a pity if it will be demolished in two or three years."

Relying on the few traveling benefits, Li Tang sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, smiled slightly: "Don't worry, do it boldly, I don't think this side will be demolished. Look how far this side is, it's almost to the Fifth Ring Road."

The Fifth Ring Road is currently under construction except the North Fifth Ring Road which has been opened to traffic.Every time a ring is built in Beijing, it means the dividing line between the urban area and the suburbs.But the area covered by the Fifth Ring Road is huge, and many places are synonymous with outer suburbs.

Zeng Jia did not agree with Li Tang's judgment.Just like Wangjing, which is separated from 798 by an airport expressway, real estates of all sizes are rising up.It stands to reason that the 798 factory area is closer to the urban area, and there are complete supporting facilities in the Jiuxianqiao community around it. From the perspective of development, it will be an absolute prime location in the future. How can it not be demolished?
