Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 322
On May 26, the 55th Cannes International Film Festival came to an end."The Pianist" directed by French director Polanski finally broke the curse of being a hit and won the Palme d'Or.

Among the several Chinese-language films shortlisted for the Main Competition and Un Certain Regard, except for Liao Qing, the heroine of "The Crying Woman" directed by Liu Bingjian, who finally won the Best Actress Award for Un Certain Regard, the rest of the films failed to win. .

What's interesting is that in interviews, these failed directors all said that being able to reach Cannes was a victory without exception.

So Zhang Jizhong and Fan Xinman's invitation to Li Tang for dinner today is definitely not to congratulate him on returning from Cannes with great honors.Moreover, everyone is very busy, especially Zhang Dabeard, who invited me to dinner when he was in trouble. Could it be that he wanted to invest in him?
It's just that this idea is obviously unreliable. Although "Swordsman" is controversial, it has achieved great success in terms of revenue; "The Condor" is no exception. The producer has already recouped its investment just by selling the first broadcast rights before it even started airing. The subsequent second and third rounds of copyright were all earned in vain.

It is said that when "Dragon Babu" was first launched, investors flocked to it. How could Zhang Beard be short of investment?And even if it is lacking, you have to find big brothers in the industry such as CCTV and the Cultural Association to use their strong background and resources to protect the TV series. Unless it is sponsorship or advertising investment that does not require dividends, that is what Zhang Dabeard welcomes.

There is another possibility that something went wrong with the character whom I had previously contacted Xiaopang and who had already made a verbal commitment to Zhang Beard?

Just as Li Tang was making suspicious guesses, Zhang Bearded poured a full glass of wine, raised it and said to Li Tang: "Xiao Li, I'm really sorry for the candidate for the role of Wang Yuyan, I broke my promise."

When Li Tang heard this, he was sure.

However, he didn't slam the table and jump up to accuse Zhang Dabeard of being dishonest. Since the two of them were so aggressive today, they must have had some last resort reasons.

Otherwise, Xiaopang needs to be good-looking and famous, and the salary he requires is not high. More importantly, there is his own face and the promise of Zhang Dabeard himself. There is no reason to just replace someone. Bar.

He looked at Zhang Bearded calmly and said, "Teacher Zhang, what happens next?"

Zhang Dabeard was originally planning to drink a drink as a penalty. This kind of thing would not be comfortable for anyone.Besides, Li Tang is not Shao Bin. On the one hand, the relationship between the two has always been good, and has already improved from a cooperative relationship to a friend relationship; of course, the most important thing is that Li Tang is now on an obvious upward trend in the industry, and all aspects of the relationship are handled well. As a last resort, he really didn't want to break up with Li Tang, so he had a straight attitude from the beginning and was mentally prepared for Li Tang to be unhappy. ,

But he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be unexpected. He couldn't react in time and was stunned for a moment. Then he came to his senses and said immediately: "Although there is something wrong with Wang Yuyan's character, don't worry, Xiao Li, you can choose other characters!"

After saying that, he raised the cup again and said: "Anyway, I'm sorry for this. I drank this cup!"

Since Lao Zhang meant what he said, Li Tang had nothing to hesitate. He quickly picked up the cup and stood up, clinking it with Lao Zhang and toasting together without saying a word.

"Brother, thank you for understanding!"

Zhang Dabeard, who had already lowered his attitude, felt very relieved and dignified when he saw Li Tang's attitude. He even changed his title in excitement.

Li Tang waved his hand: "Teacher Zhang, you are a senior, so don't be polite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xinman on the side stepped in and said with a smile: "Since Teacher Zhang is the senior, what about me, Sister Xinman?"

The two men and women probably had a clear division of labor from the beginning, and they planned to be a good person and a bad person, but because Li Tang reacted very calmly, one was sincere and the other became a joke to adjust the atmosphere.

Li Tang could only smile and said: "Sister Xinman, this is different. You are so young and beautiful. I am worried that I will call you old. Let's talk about it ourselves."

Fan Xinman was very happy to hear this and said with a smile: "You are really good at talking, and you can really please the little girl."

She and Nai'an are best friends, and she has heard more or less about Li Tang. Especially on the set of "The Condor", she saw Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin having sex with her own eyes.

How can I put it, a man is a young man if he is not romantic!But she was more or less unwilling to do so.

When I was young, I always felt satisfied to find a man who was both mature and talented. However, as youth goes by, especially when that mature and talented man gradually becomes weak and greasy, I always feel unwilling to accept it.Especially as she gets older, her mentality gradually changes. She especially hopes to have a young and handsome good friend so that she can seize the afterglow of youth and taste the passion of youth again.For example, Li Tang is quite good, but unfortunately he is a bit timid.

"Sister Xinman, please don't make fun of me."

Li Tang responded with a smile, then looked at Lao Zhang and said directly: "Teacher Zhang, is the role of the second female lead Azi okay?"

The most taboo thing for a person is incompetence and rage. Since the first female lead has no hope, then we must find a way to minimize the loss. The only option is the second female lead.

Lao Zhang was also very happy and said immediately: "No problem!"

Maybe he still felt embarrassed, so he added: "The salary remains unchanged!"

"Okay, Teacher Zhang, let's make an agreement this time and it's a deal!"

Li Tang refilled their glasses, picked up the glasses, glanced at Fan Xinman and said, "You have to help testify this time!"

Old aunt, as long as you have a good sense of proportion and flirt when nothing happens, you can well promote the relationship between each other without causing a conflict.Sure enough, Fan Xinman glanced at him charmingly, picked up the cup and said, "Okay, I will bear witness."

As he spoke, he deliberately shouted at the bearded man: "Old Zhang, you must keep your word this time!"

Lao Zhang banged his chest: "It definitely counts! Come on, cheers!"

Now that the conversation was out of the way, Li Tang was inevitably a little curious: "Who will play the role of Wang Yuyan?"

In fact, it has been reported by the media that Lao Zhang is preparing for the new drama "Dragon", and they are even speculating on the candidates for the role in the drama. For example, the candidates for Duan Yu include Lu Yi, Chen Kun, Li Tang, and others such as Xie Tingfeng and Chen Guanxi. , the main focus is a handsome guy!

Xiao Feng's candidates include Ding Haifeng, Hu Jun, and even Hong Kong's Huang Rihua.

However, Li Tang knew that most of these were unreliable, but Lao Zhang did approach Lu Yi at the beginning, including wanting him to play Duan Yu.As a result, both of them disliked Duan Yu and both wanted to play Xiao Feng.

It was not until later that Li Tang found out that the role of Xiao Feng had already been decided, and it was Hu Jun.One is that Lao Zhang owes a favor, and the other is that Hu Jun is indeed very consistent with Xiao Feng in terms of temperament. They are both very manly, especially those who have watched "Lan Yu", this feeling is even stronger.

As for the heroine Wang Yuyan, there are even more diverse guesses. Some guessed Zhang Ziyi, Xiao Yanzi, etc., which sounds unreliable at first glance. The former is a movie star, while the latter is transforming into a movie star, and it is impossible to accept a TV series.

There are also speculations about Jin Xishan, Xu Jinglei, Jiang Qinqin, including the newly emerged newcomer Huang Yi.Because at that time, Li Tang knew that Xiao Pang had already been confirmed, so the media just thought it was nonsense.

But now that people have been replaced, he has his fingers crossed. Among these candidates, Jiang Qinqin, who is suitable for the role of Wang Yuyan, is probably barely qualified.After all, the audience will not accept a stick person playing the role of the fairy sister. As for Xu Jinglei and Huang Yi, they are not good enough.As for Jiang Qinqin's appearance and immortality, the only flaw may be that she is a little older.

Otherwise, unless it is a Hong Kong and Taiwan star like Zhang Baizhi, a newcomer cannot be cast in such a big drama. The risk is too high.

As a result, Lao Zhang looked at him with a mysterious face and said, "Liu Yifei, have you heard of this name?"

When Li Tangze heard the name, he felt it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment, so he shook his head.

Lao Zhang smiled and said: "He is a newcomer. He just came back from the United States. He is not very old..."

Hearing this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Is he the one who is currently filming "The Golden Family"?"

Because he had heard from Zhou Xun before that the second female lead in Chen Kun's "The Golden Family" was a 15-year-old girl who had just returned from the United States.And the reason why she was able to play the second female lead alongside Chen Kun and Dong Jie right after she debuted is because she has a godfather who is very rich and has a background.

The word godfather is easy for people to imagine, but the girl is too young, which is a bit unbelievable.

"Yes, that's her! It seems you've heard of her too," Lao Zhang said with a smile.

It's just that Li Tang is a little puzzled. Based on his understanding of Lao Zhang, there is no doubt that this old guy will succumb to the powerful and powerful, but it is unlikely that he will show such happiness. With Lao Zhang's It's normal for people to complain in private, so why does it sound like they've picked up a treasure?

Facing Li Tang's question, Lao Zhang smiled and said: "Actually, I wasn't very confident at first, but until I saw the real person, I suddenly discovered that Wang Yuyan was standing right in front of me... Uh, Li Tang, Don’t be surprised if I say that, it was from that moment that I made up my mind that Wang Yuyan is her!"

"Is there really such a god?"

Li Tang didn't quite believe it. He always felt that Lao Zhang was making excuses for himself to kneel down to the powerful and capital.

Unexpectedly, Sister Xinman suddenly appeared and said: "The little girl is still too young, but her mother is really beautiful!"

Li Tang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. You must know that when a narcissistic woman like Fan Xinman praises a woman's beauty, she must be really beautiful, and she must be as beautiful as a fairy.

I couldn't help but wonder: "How old is her mother?"

As a result, Sister Xinman immediately sneered and said: "Look, you men are indeed all virtuous and only like beautiful women. However, little brother, I advise you not to think about it. I am born in the [-]s, so there is a big gap between you and me." It’s intercepted.”

But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard old Zhang Youyou say: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. I was born in [-], just in my early forties..."
