Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 312 Amazing Progress
"What on earth do you mean? Why are you getting together with her again? I don't believe it. She would have gotten this role without your help? Are you two going to relive your old dream again..."

Facing Xiaopang's continuous output of anger, Li Tang remained firm.He has finally summed up experience now. When a woman is angry, you must not try to defend her. Otherwise, the more you defend her, the more angry she will become.

Ignoring is the worst thing, unless the relationship between the two has come to an end and the other party is using it as an excuse.Otherwise, the other party will always have a moment to calm down, and everyone can talk calmly.

In addition, he knew that Xiaopang's mood was unstable during this period, so he tried his best to adopt a tolerant attitude and not argue with her.

People always need a channel to vent, otherwise the negative emotions in their hearts will accumulate for a long time and problems will easily arise.When Xiaopang is in a bad mood, he doesn't mind acting as the other person's outlet.After all, everyone is mutually supportive, and Xiaopang may have two more channels for venting.

The reason why Xiaopang was so excited today was simply because he was afraid.Don't look at the tit-for-tat confrontation between her and Jiang Qinqin before. She was just looking at the parents' beauty and worrying about Li Tang hunting for wild food.If you really want to say that she has nothing to fear in her heart, she really doesn't have it. It's just that kind of exclusive mentality, just like a toy she likes very much and doesn't allow others to get involved with it.

As for Li Binbin, although she almost crushes him in terms of age, appearance, height and figure.But don't forget that she is the only girlfriend Li Tang admits. She has been living with his classmate for four years and three years. The relationship is real.No matter how excellent the external conditions are, as long as emotional factors are involved, they will turn into rubbish in an instant.

So she could only use anger to cover up her inner weakness.

After Xiaopang unleashed a series of anger, he stood there heaving and panting.Li Tang then stood up and handed her a glass of water, smiling and saying, "Are you feeling better?"

The little fat man originally saw him not even farting, so he felt a little guilty. But when he saw him approaching with a smile on his face, he suddenly became bolder and said angrily, "Tell me, are you right to not dare to speak out?"

Of course, I still had to drink water. I grabbed the water glass without ceremony, took a big sip, and wiped my mouth with my hand in an unladylike manner.

Li Tang smiled and said calmly: "Actually, I can understand why you are so angry today. You are right, I am here to help with the matchmaking..."

Hearing this, Xiaopang suddenly raised his eyebrows and was about to get mad, but Li Tang waved his hand and continued: "But don't think about it. Even if an ordinary classmate or friend comes to the door, I still have to help, right? But don't forget Even I had to audition to get the role, and everyone else had to pass the audition. I just helped set up a line and introduced her. The decision was in the hands of the director. Li Binbin had to get Brother Ye’s approval. Got this role. As for other things, I can only say that work is work and life is life. She is developing well now, and I hope she will get better and better. You can’t say that we are enemies after breaking up, right? Contact?"

"..."

Xiaopang looked at Li Tang and didn't know what to say for a moment, and suddenly his mind came to his mind. What if he broke up with him one day, would he become an enemy?

"Bah bah bah!"

But she realized it immediately and kept pouting secretly, which was extremely unlucky.

Li Tang looked at her and saw that she was speechless. He knew that the heat was almost done and he couldn't let her think any more, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "I'm hungry. It's a rare trip to Suzhou. Let's go out and have a bowl of Aozao noodles."

Although Xiaopang is the female lead, she doesn't have many scenes in "Li Wei Official 2".Bald Xu is such a thief. Of course, the TV series he directs must do his best to highlight the Li Wei he plays.The reason why he strongly invited Xiao Pang to star in the film was because the first part was a success and he did not dare to take the risk of replacing someone rashly.At the same time, Xiaopang is currently very popular. To put it bluntly, she is used as a tool to divert traffic.

However, there is an advantage to having less scenes. At least Xiaopang won't be as hard as when he was filming "Jade Goddess of Mercy", and at the same time, he won't be too idle and easily fall into a safe persona and be unable to get out.

We had Aozao noodles for lunch, and Baldy Xu treated us to dinner in the evening. He even invited Teacher Tan Xiaoyan to accompany him.Speaking of which, Teacher Tan Xiaoyan and Xiaopang are quite close. She was the heroine of the first-generation Haiyan drama. There was a gap of 15 years between her and Xiaopang, the modern heroine of Haiyan drama.

"Humph, none of you men are good!"

After regaining his composure, Little Fatty started acting like a monster again. He recited the scene at dinner, which was nothing more than complaining about Xu Guangtou's life style.

"Don't overturn a boatload of people with one stroke, okay? Besides, if the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, is there any problem with getting closer?"

Out of friendship and precaution, Li Tang defended Bald Xu.

Guangtou Xu was already weak, and he still had the feelings of a goddess in his adolescence. How could he let go of this opportunity?Moreover, Teacher Tan is single and has no moral burden at all.

Xiaopang turned over and fell on Li Tang's body, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "What about Miss Taohong?"

"That's someone else's business. Why do you care so much about it?"

This is people's privacy. Li Tang hates interfering in other people's private lives in the name of justice. It is purely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself. If it doesn't work, he will not be a human being inside and outside.

He raised his hands and weighed Xiaopang who was lying on his body, and changed the subject: "I told you to exercise but you refused to exercise. If this continues, it will affect your health."

The weight loss has been a bit excessive, and I estimate that I now only weigh [-] pounds.And my physical fitness has also dropped a lot due to weight loss.She is not like her ex-girlfriend. Although her ex-girlfriend was thin, she had good muscles and could withstand physical exertion.But Xiaopang was not good at it. Just now, Li Tang was just trying his best, so she couldn't bear it anymore, and it took a long time to recover.

Li Tang had come into contact with many European and American models in his previous life. In fact, Caucasians are just like chubby people. Most of them have big frames, but they are skinny and healthy. It may be a bit exaggerated to say they have abdominal muscles. At least they have waistcoat lines. Yes, especially those who are good at fighting protracted battles. To put it bluntly, what they rely on is exercise.

As for Xiaochuang, losing weight depends on hunger.Call her lazy. She is very diligent in her work, but she doesn't like to exercise.

Sure enough, when Xiaopang heard about the exercise, he pouted and said, "I can't help it. It's just what my role needs. I just need to eat more during this period to make up for it."

She didn't want to be as hard as Li Tang, who couldn't do anything when she wanted to twist when she was angry.

"Then do you want to come again?" Li Tang weighed Xiaopang lying on his body again and asked.

He has strengthened his physical training during this period, and his physical condition has returned to its previous peak. Once is definitely not enough, he must score at least twice, and preferably three in a row. As for the big four, he can barely do it. The fifth son has passed the exam and is currently Don't think about it, after all, your health is important.

Xiaopang swallowed her saliva. She thought she wanted it, but unfortunately her body couldn't bear it. But when she saw Li Tang's fiery gaze, she simply gritted her teeth, turned over, lay down, and closed her eyes: "Come on!"

But she waited for a long time but saw no movement. When she opened her eyes, she saw Li Tangzheng looking at her with a smile. Seeing her eyes open, he stretched out his hand to pinch his face and said with a smile: "You little fool, don't show off, sleep." Bar."

Her boyfriend's thoughtfulness made her feel sweet, but she didn't know why she always felt a little empty.It's just that the psychological entanglement couldn't resist the physical fatigue, and he finally fell asleep in a daze.

Xiaopang's sleep has not been very good during this period. He often wakes up several times at night, and he is prone to dreaming. His brain does not rest, and he always feels very tired when he wakes up the next day.But as long as Li Tang sleeps beside her, her sleep will be very solid. She will have no dreams all night and sleep until dawn.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Li Tang with wet hair, shirtless, and a bath towel wrapped around his lower body. At first glance, he knew that he had just taken a shower after working out early.

"Wake up!"

"Well, what time is it?" Xiaopang was still a little confused.

"It should be about 07:30."

Li Tang didn't look at the time. It was a quarter past seven when he came back, and it only took about ten minutes to take a shower.

"Ah, it's 07:30?" Xiaopang suddenly sat up from the bed, and while he was hurriedly looking for clothes, he complained: "Why didn't this damn girl Shasha come and call me? She's already late!"

"Shasha is here. I asked her not to call you and let you sleep a little longer." Li Tang said.

When he was going out at 06:30, he met his little assistant Wang Shasha. He saw that Xiaopang was sleeping soundly and was still snoring, so he didn't have the heart to ask the little assistant to wake her up.

But Xiaopang said anxiously: "Oh, makeup for a costume drama is very troublesome, and today is a scene opposite Teacher Tan. I have to rehearse with Teacher Tan before the filming starts."

Li Tang didn't understand the situation, so he said, "Then let me say hello to Old Xu."

"No, you call Sasha over and ask her to help pack things. I'll leave as soon as I brush my teeth and wash my face."

Xiaopang put on his pajamas, put on his slippers and ran to the bathroom.

"What about breakfast?" Li Tang shouted through the door.

The little fat guy who had just sat down on the toilet also said loudly: "It's too late, I won't eat."

"How about not having breakfast?"

Li Tang muttered, put on his clothes first, and then called Wang Shasha and asked her to bring some breakfast to Xiaopang.

Guangtou Xu's conditions were limited, and the room where he starred was not a suite with a living room, but a double bed room. Fortunately, the hotel also provided a free buffet breakfast.

In fact, don't look at Xiaopang being so anxious, she is famous for being slow.It wasn't until Wang Shasha brought breakfast and packed up her things before departure that she opened the bathroom door and came out.

After taking two hasty bites, I went out to the dressing room downstairs.Fortunately, with her current coffee position, she can basically do whatever she wants, so she doesn't have to wait, even the makeup artist has to wait for her.

The crew is the most hierarchical place, and everything depends on the position of the cast. Those newcomers who have just debuted or the [-]th-level young actors may have to get up early in the morning to put on makeup, and then put on the makeup even though it is a night scene. Waiting on site, everything is your priority.

Li Tang stayed in Suzhou for two days, and he had always heard Xu Guangtou praise Xiaopang for his great progress in acting.Originally, he thought that after the experience of "Jade Guanyin", Xiaopang's acting skills would definitely improve, but it would not be as exaggerated as Xu Guangtou said.

To be honest, actors like them who came from a major with four years of undergraduate education will generally be more or less discriminatory towards actors who come from wild backgrounds, such as Xiao Pang and Wu Jing.No matter how good they are in acting, they will always find fault with the actors, saying that their line skills are not solid, their body movements are wrong, etc.

So he always thought that even if Xiaopang made the most progress, he would always be inferior in his eyes.

But this time he was really shocked when he watched Xiaopang perform live. What Baldy Xu said before was not an exaggeration at all.Her scenes with Bald Xu were not inferior at all, and her scenes with Teacher Tan turned Teacher Tan, who had just come back from acting for a long time, into a scumbag instantly, which made Teacher Tan very embarrassed.

"Okay, such great progress!"

Surprised, Li Tang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise him.

This time Xiaopang didn't show too much pride, but said with a bit of joy: "I don't know why. Maybe it was because I was depressed for too long when I was filming "Jade Guanyin". Now playing Yue Siying is like a All the restraints are gone. I laugh when I should laugh and get angry when I should be angry. It’s just so joyful.”

Yes, the essence of performance is emotion. As long as the emotion is reached, the character will naturally come alive. An Xin in "Jade Goddess of Mercy" and Yue Siying in "Li Wei's Official 2" are exactly two completely different characters. An Xin is too depressing, but Yue Siying, as a chivalrous woman, is accompanied by her husband Li Weizhao, who is the hawk of the Qing Dynasty. She can Happy rivers and lakes, that is a refreshing.

But Li Tang was leaving soon, so Xiaopang was very reluctant to leave: "Can I stay one more day?"

There was no way, my physical condition was not good, I couldn't eat much at one time, so I just wanted to keep the water flowing. Unfortunately, I only ate two meals, and Li Tang was about to leave.

Li Tang comforted him: "Jia Jia will be here tonight. There are some things that need to be touched upon. It's impossible not to go back. Don't worry, this time I won't go for more than 20 or [-] days. I estimate it will be over within a week if it goes quickly." Can come back."

When Xiaopang heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "It's so fast. Don't you want to attend the closing award ceremony?"

Li Tang shook his head and said, "I guess I won't win the prize this time. There's not much point in staying there."

On May 55th, the day after tomorrow, the [-]th Cannes International Film Festival is about to open. At that time, "The Little Seamstress" will debut as the premiere film in the Un Certain Regard section.As one of the invited leading actors, Li Tang had to arrive in Cannes before the opening ceremony to attend the premiere and press conference before the premiere.

As an opening film, there is usually a convention that it rarely wins awards. To be honest, "The Little Seamstress" is a son of Cannes and has been nominated for a backdoor. Moreover, as the premiere film in the Un Certain Regard section, it is nothing more than building momentum for the film and attracting more attention. Pay more attention and hope to sell it at a good price.

Compared with the main competition section of this year's film festival, which only has one Chinese-language film shortlisted, Chief Jia's "Ren Xiaoyao", the Un Certain Regard section has two Chinese-language films shortlisted.

"The Little Seamstress" is nominally a French film, but it still belongs to the category of Chinese-language films.

As for another Chinese-language film, it is "The Crying Woman" directed by Liu Bingjian.

Director Liu Bingjian was no stranger to Li Tang. He brought his debut film "The Inkstone" to the theater for casting. Li Tang, as a freshman at the time, even signed up for an audition hosted by Director Liu himself.

Of course, he was rejected in the first round. In the end, Fu Chengpeng, Xu Guangtou's best friend who was about to graduate in his senior year, stood out among the many auditioners and was chosen by Director Liu to play the male lead in the film.

Director Liu Bingjian won the Best Director Debut Award at the 16th China Golden Rooster Awards for this film.

Fu Chengpeng later starred in the movie "Daughter's Red" directed by Xie Yan and starring Gui Yalei and Zhou Xun as the male lead.

You must know that Xie Yan is the son of the great director Xie Jin, and this "Daughter is Red" was also shortlisted for the Bay Area Film Golden Horse Award that year.At that time, Fu Chengpeng's starting point was who knows how many floors higher than Xu Guangtou.It's a pity that this guy was at the peak of his career. After graduation, he was assigned to the military art troupe. In addition to his usual condolence performances, he also appeared in various TV series.

It's a little too far.

However, "The Crying Woman" directed by Liu Bingjian is said to be an underground film with no approval procedures.However, despite the fact that the General Administration of China introduced more severe penalties this year to ban underground films from participating in overseas film festivals.

But as the saying goes, “There are policies from above and countermeasures from below.”

For example, the producer of "Ren Xiaoyao", which was shortlisted by Chief Jia this time, bears the name of Hong Kong Hutong Production Company. It is nominally a Hong Kong movie and has no control over the mainland.

The same goes for Director Liu's "The Crying Woman". It was produced by film companies from South Korea, France, Canada, and the Gulf of China. It was nominally exhibited as a Gulf of China film.
