Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 31
"So you are Li Tang, hello! Hello!"

"Director Shaohong, hello!"

The last time Li Tang and his classmates came to the capital to audition, they did not meet director Li Shaohong, but an assistant director dismissed them.Today is the first meeting.

"I've heard Xiao Zhou talk about you a long time ago, saying that your play is very good!"

"Director Shaohong, thank you for the award."

"Oh, what a coincidence this time. When Xiao Zhou told me about you, my roles had already been arranged. I'm really... sorry!" Li Shaohong looked regretful.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm too presumptuous."

"It's good that you can understand. We will cooperate if we have the opportunity in the future."

"Thank you Director Shaohong."

Although Li Shaohong was very enthusiastic, her eyes behind the glasses were always flat, showing a condescending sense of distance.

Of course, Li Tang knew well that he was born in a large courtyard. In the past, he was an aristocrat in the banner. He had already achieved great success in the circle and had countless connections. Facing himself, a newcomer who just debuted, the praise was nothing more than the way big people treat small people. Words should not be taken as real.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, a staff member came over with the script to ask the director for instructions. Upon seeing this, Li Tang immediately left knowingly.

Being able to mix in this circle, everyone can understand.After coming out, Zhou Xun was obviously unhappy with a stern face, and he might also feel that he was very shameless.

Li Tang said with a smile: "Okay, the pier has also visited, think about where we go to eat."

This place is really a gourmet desert. Li Tang finally took his four sisters to the county town to have a meal of Northeast cuisine.It is quite new to think that donkey meat is still roasted in Northeast restaurants.

Li Tang did not dare to try this local specialty, probably because he felt that donkeys and horses were more like human companions than cattle, sheep and pigs.

……

"Sister An, you've worked hard! I won't say thank you, it's all in the wine."

At the Japanese grocery store next to the Asian Games Village Hotel, Li Tang toasted Naian with a glass of sake in both hands.

The contract was finalized, the content in it exceeded his expectations, the salary was [-] episodes, twelve episodes were tentatively scheduled, and the final settlement was calculated based on the actual number of episodes shot.

5000 yuan per episode is quite a good figure. Nowadays, the market for newcomers to shoot TV dramas is generally only [-] to [-] yuan per episode, and it may reach [-] if it is a main character.Although Li Tang has made two films, none of them have been released yet, and they haven't been tested by the market.He thought that the salary of [-] episodes would be the best, but he almost doubled it.

In addition, in terms of schedule, I signed a contract for a total of three months, and entered the group on October [-]. This way, not only will it not affect the current performance of the drama "Shang Yang", but it will also allow enough time to study the script and figure out the role.

Naian clinked a glass with him, and said with a smile: "These are the real jobs of an agent, not to mention hard work, and if you can receive plays, the company can also make money. Now I only hope that you can perform well , strive for an instant hit."

What Li Tang and Nai'an signed was [-] to [-] percent, which is a very generous ratio. You must know that the ex-girlfriend signed with that sister Hua was [-] percent, the company gets [-] percent, and the individual gets [-] percent.

Li Tang laughed and said, "I dare not say if I'm popular or not, but don't worry about acting, I'm sure I can perform well."

Although this is his first serious TV drama, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything.To put it bluntly, compared to movies, TV dramas are a one-man effort.As for whether he can act well, he still has enough confidence in this.

"Then I can rest assured, act well, and when the company develops in the future, I will give you an assistant."

Yo, Sister An can actually draw big cakes.

Li Tang hurriedly said: "Then I have to give you an assistant first!"

"Hahaha, come on, let's make a toast to the success of our first cooperation and the future development of the company!"

……

A total of two days of leave were requested, and Li Tang took the earliest flight back to Shanghai early the next morning.

As soon as he arrived at the unit, he was caught by Xu Guangtou.

"How was the interview, did you get it?"

"Ah."

"Oh, congratulations! What character?"

"Supporting role, I can barely count as male number four."

"It's ok, I don't know if the TV series I filmed last time was ranked male N. There are only three episodes in total, and the male lead is not even a fraction."

As he said that, Xu Guangtou lowered his voice and said, "Brother, can you tell me how much the price is?"

It is definitely inconvenient to disclose the salary, but Li Tang looked at the favor of selling train tickets for him last time, and quietly stretched out five fingers.

"Five thousand! One episode?"

"Ah."

Li Tang nodded.

Baldy Xu's eyes lit up immediately, and he began to make some small calculations in his heart.

The script of the mythological TV series mentioned last time finally came out, but when he got the script and saw the characters for the first time, he almost threw the script away, and after a long time he was actually asked to play Zhu Bajie.

What is the image of Zhu Bajie in the minds of Chinese people?It goes without saying that everyone knows.But then he reluctantly flipped through the script because of Fan Xiaotian personally sending it over.

As a result, I actually saw it.

The story mainly describes the process of Zhu Bajie changing from a pig to a human and then to a god before heading west.No wonder it is said to be a prequel to "Journey to the West", and it has nothing to do with "Journey to the West", mainly relying on editing.

The most important thing is that the Zhu Bajie in the script is very different from the Zhu Bajie in the traditional cognition.Not fat, not stupid, Zhu Bajie was a scholar before he became a pig, with a very thin body, giving people a very fresh feeling.

This wide recognition of the public and the subversion of the classics can be called "post-modern TV drama art".Moreover, the plot is based on the original classic story, combined with folklore and mythological stories for subversive interpretation, and writes a story with tears in laughter.

After reading it, Xu Guangtou had to admit that he quite liked the script, but he was still hesitant. No matter how he overturned it, after all, it was Zhu Bajie, which was very inconsistent with the so-called "serious dramatist" image he has carefully created.

If he accepted it, it would be tantamount to completely subverting his image and at the same time completely changing his way of acting.

As the saying goes, "If one step is wrong, every step is wrong." There is no room for him to think carefully.

But now Li Tang can get 30 episodes of salary just for playing the male number four, so he is better than him anyway, and he is the only male number one, so it costs [-]... no, at least [-] The salary for an episode, then [-] episodes, [-]!

This number made his heart itch like being scratched by a cat. 30!Enough for a down payment on a house.You must know that he is still squeezed into a house with his parents, not to mention falling in love, and it is not convenient to even bring a lady to the stage. Every time he has to go to the hotel to open a room, the cost is very high.

From the bottom of his heart, Xu Guangtou instinctively rejected the role of Zhu Bajie, but the script was very attractive to him. In the midst of these two dilemmas, money undoubtedly served as an important medium.

Of course, Li Tang didn't know that his gesticulation of five fingers would cause Xu Guangtou to have so many inner dramas.In addition to normal rehearsals and performances, he spends his free time studying scripts and analyzing the character Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian's real name is Fang Yan, a native of Zhejiang. His father, Fang Zhihang, was imprisoned by Qianlong because of his literary inquisition, and was later ordered to be executed by Master Ma.Nineteen members of Fang's family were implicated, and only two brothers and sisters escaped in a hurry. The boy was taken to Yunnan, where he worshiped an eminent monk as a teacher and practiced literature and martial arts.The girl was abandoned in front of a nunnery by accident, and her whereabouts have been unknown since then. After the boy grew up, he traveled all over the country with a flute and a sword, looking for his sister with all his heart, and the bloody feud was even more unforgettable.

Although Xiao Jian is not the protagonist, Auntie Qiongyao made this character very pleasing: strong martial arts, chic and loyal, and a heroic demeanor of being bright and aboveboard.

Li Tang has read the script of the first part, and combined with the plot of the second part, he will find that the character Xiao Jian has gathered all the advantages of the four main characters in the first part: he has the wisdom of Erkang, and he has the same strength as Wu Ah. She loves Little Swallow just like her elder brother, and at the same time possesses Ziwei's talent and Little Swallow's uninhibitedness.

And as far as the performance is concerned, the performance of Xiao Jian is really not that difficult. There is neither too much inner drama nor the layering of the character's changeable personality.
