Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 350 The Tianlong Babu crew
The leader had many things to do, so Li Tang realized what he meant and said what he needed to say. He even offered a favor and stood up to leave after not long sitting.

This time, Mr. Han specially sent him to the door. Finally, he held his hand and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Li, we can cooperate if we have the opportunity in the future!"

The leader's words may be true or false, but Li Tang's answer must be correct.He hurriedly said: "Mr. Han, you are giving us a chance! Anyway, I will just say, if there is anything we need to do in the future, just give us your orders."

Just kidding, Shengtang Film and Television is just a newly established small company. If it can climb the big tree of China Film and Television, at least it will not have to worry about being bullied.

Originally, he didn't dare to sit for long because he was afraid of disturbing the communication between Mr. Han and Yu Dong. After all, they were direct relatives.But unexpectedly, Yu Dong actually said goodbye with him until he walked out of the China Film Building.

"Mr. Li, let's get to know each other again. I am Yu Dong from Bona Cultural Exchange Company!" Yu Dong suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to him seriously.

Li Tang understood what he meant. Maybe he was just an actor before, but now he has become a businessman.So she reached out and held his hand: "Hello, Mr. Yu, I am Li Tang from Shengtang Film and Television!"

If there was a picture at this time, it would definitely first give a close-up shot of the two hands holding each other; then give a close-up shot of the two people looking at each other and smiling; finally, the camera would be pulled back, and the composition would be in the middle, with the China Film Building as the background. A panoramic shot.

Before saying goodbye, Li Tang gave Yu Dong another reassurance: "Mr. Yu, I will go back to discuss it and let you know as soon as there is news."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news!"

For Li Tang, the domestic release of "Metro to Spring" is no big deal, and there is no need to worry about others.Furthermore, if you identify domestic publishers early and prepare early, you might be able to catch up with this year’s National Day release.

Of course, Zeng Jia needs to coordinate and communicate on specific matters, but this is also a formality.

Zhang Baibai is basically doing whatever Zeng Jia says now.His thoughts as a director are very simple, that is, at the creative level, Zeng Jia, as a producer, will not interfere. At most, money is tight. What's more, this time it helped him get the opportunity to be shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival. This is enough, as for the operational matters, he should not have to worry about it.

In addition to being a screenwriter, Liu Fendou also serves as the spokesperson for the construction boss who invested 200 million.The construction boss's request was very simple, just to make his girlfriend happy and help her get the role of the second female lead.As for having the opportunity to visit Venice this time, it is definitely a surprise, let alone any other opinions.

And what they say is very affordable, leaving professional matters to professionals.I am engaged in construction myself, and my awareness of production safety is deeply ingrained in my bones.In the field that I am engaged in, if a person who does not understand is allowed to mess around and the building collapses, people will die.

Despite this, we still have to go through the formal procedures. This is mutual respect and it also means that the teacher has a reputation. Just like the public service process, it must have this name.

……

"Haha, Teacher Zhang, long time no see, I miss you so much!"

That afternoon, Li Tang came to visit the filming base in Huairou.

"You kid, this is just by the way."

Zhang Beard is in a good mood recently, mainly because his lawsuit with former "The Condor" director Wang Rui has finally been settled, and the other party has withdrawn the lawsuit.

In the final analysis, this matter is still a question of money.Wang Rui was originally approached by the investor, the Literary and Art Association Audio and Video Publishing House, and did not sign a contract from the beginning. However, during the filming process, he had serious disagreements with the crew.As a professor in Nortel's directing department, Wang Rui had a bit of a scholarly bent, so he quit in a fit of anger.

Zhang Dabeard was not very interested in Wang Rui, so he hired Hong Kong director Ju Jueliang to continue filming.Originally, the matter was over, but when the filming was completed and ready to be broadcast, a problem arose.

The reason is that Wang Rui has been busy for more than a month, filming the first six episodes, and "The Condor" still retains his signature in the director column, but he didn't get a penny. .

Zhang Big Beard's reason is very simple. Everyone has already fallen out with each other. You were hired by the Literary and Art Association Audio and Video Publishing House. You went to the Literary and Art Association Audio and Video Publishing House to ask for it, and the crew did not have a contract with you.

As for the Literary and Art Association Audio and Video Society, it is like the Party A that awards the project contract, Wang Rui is like the working engineer, and the crew that Zhang Dahu is in charge of is the general contractor.

This is very common in engineering construction. Party A pays the money to the general contractor, and Wang Rui, as the person introduced by Party A, should pay the wages to the general contractor.

Maybe Zhang Dabeard just wanted to make things difficult at first. With Zhang Dabeard's character, he would definitely be able to do such a thing. To put it bluntly, he was bullying an honest person.Originally, even the signature was retained, so what was the shortfall in salary?

Maybe the honest people were driven into panic, or maybe someone among them took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames and wanted to take advantage of Zhang Big Beard. Anyway, it was Wang Rui who directly sued Zhang Big Beard and the crew of "The Condor" with a piece of complaint, and also implicated Zhang Big Beard in the incident. Fan Xinman, Lao Zhang’s daughter-in-law, appeared on CCTV.

This matter has been repeatedly hyped in the media for more than two months, so much so that "The Condor", which was originally scheduled to be broadcast in the summer, was also forced to be postponed.The reason is simple. The first six episodes of "The Condor" were filmed by Wang Rui. The two parties were still in dispute and had even sued. Even CCTV did not dare to take the risk.Only after the dispute subsides and there is no copyright dispute can it be broadcast on an optional basis.

As for how the matter was settled, there are many tricks involved. No matter Party A's Audio and Video Publishing House, or the person directly involved has a big beard, they are all afraid that the matter will get bigger. If they pull out the carrot and bring out mud or something, anyway, anyway Things have calmed down.

At this time, Li Tang saw that Zhang Dabeard no longer had the ambiguity before, and his face was red and full of energy.The total investment in the filming of "Dragon" this time far exceeded that of the previous "Swordsman" and "The Condor", and the crew was all his own. Zhang Dabeard truly achieved monopoly and high-spiritedness.

Although Li Tang and Fan Xiaopang have not made it public, it is not a secret at all in the circle.He came here today obviously to visit the class.

So in the face of Lao Zhang's teasing, this fellow smiled and turned to greet director Zhou Xiaowen: "Director Zhou, you are busy!"

"Hey, Xiao Li, here we come!"

Zhou Xiaowen speaks pure Beijing movies.

In fact, when Li Tang just came in, Zhou Xiaowen had already seen him, but he just looked up and continued busy with his own business. He also turned a deaf ear to the teasing between Li Tang and Zhang Dabeard just now.

People who are not familiar with him may think that this person seems to be very cold. Coupled with his bald, bearded, and unsmiling appearance, they may also think that this person is very serious and difficult to approach.

Only those who know him well know that director Zhou Xiaowen is actually a very honest and honest person, a good old man in general terms, but he is slightly introverted in personality.

He is a senior director of Xiying Film Studio and has made many well-known film and television dramas. For example, the most famous film he directed is "Qin Song" starring Jiang Wen, Ge You, and Xu Qing. The scene in which Ge You plays Gao Jianli's hunger strike is especially impressive.This film also won the Film Critics Award at the Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, and also pioneered the theme of Jing Ke and Qin Shihuang.

Later, there was "The Assassin of Qin" directed by Chen Da, including "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, which is currently in post-production.

In addition, he has also filmed many popular costume TV series, such as "The Legend of Empress Lu", "The Legend of Lu Buwei", "The Bigfoot Horse Queen" and so on.

It's just that he is low-key and doesn't like to be in the limelight, so he is not well-known to the outside world, but he is still very respected in the circle. Especially for those who have dealt with him and are familiar with him, few people will talk about him behind his back. bad words.

Originally, he was not the director that the investors were interested in at the beginning. In view of the lessons learned from the past, Zhang Dabeard fought hard to let Zhou Xiaowen become a member of the director team of "Dragon".

Although Zhou Xiaowen does not have the title of chief director in this team, he has the actual status of chief director.Moreover, he also participated in the entire adaptation of the script. For example, making Xiao Feng the soul character was all based on his suggestions and was approved by Mr. Jin Yong.

Li Tang met Zhou Xiaowen through Zhang Dahu and always respected Director Zhou.It is not an exaggeration to say that in his mind, Director Zhou is much higher than Lao Zhang in terms of artistic achievements alone.Li Tang chatted with Zhou Xiaowen, mainly to listen to Xiaopang's performance.The half-month training camp was the same as before for "Swordsman". In addition to martial arts training, there was also script reading.This time Zhang Dabeard has completely learned the lesson of insufficient preparation when filming "The Condor".

"Bingbing is good, but her line skills are a little lacking, but it doesn't matter. If it doesn't work, I can dub it!"

"..."

Li Tang couldn't answer a word, but Director Zhou remained as candid as ever.

He could only plead: "Please take care of Director Zhou when the time comes."

There is no way, he has taken great pains to deal with Xiaopang this time. It is all about human nature. As long as the director is a little biased, sometimes the actors will definitely benefit a lot.

Zhou Xiaowen really thought about it seriously, nodded and said: "Bingbing is quite spiritual. If the role of Azi is played well, she should be able to shine."

He does have a say in this point. Xiao Feng is the soul of the whole drama, so Azi, who is always by Xiao Feng's side, naturally has room for improvement.

After paying homage to Lao Zhang and Director Zhou, Li Tang went to the training hall to find Xiaopang.I was shocked just when I walked in. Oh my god, there are so many birds!
All of them were slender and beautiful in appearance. More than a dozen people gathered there chatting. Occasionally, they burst into laughter like silver bells, and the sound was extremely pleasant to the ear.

"Hey, Li Tang is here!"

"Mr. Li, long time no see!"

Fortunately, Zhao Jian and Yuan Bing found him in time and came up to say hello.

"Director Zhao! Brother Bing, you are too polite. This is not Hong Kong. There is no gentleman. It is the old rule, Li Tang!"

In fact, Yuan Bing was just joking with him. When they were filming "Swordsman", the two of them worked very happily together, and they were quite sympathetic to each other.

"You're different now. I'm afraid I'll get beaten if I'm not polite!"

Yuan Bing smiled and opened his arms to hug Li Tang, and said with a smile: "You're here to see your little girlfriend, right?"

Little girlfriend?But no, he is seven years older than Xiaopang!
However, he quickly corrected him: "It's a friend, a good friend!"

"Yes, yes, good friend!"

Yuan Bing laughed happily, while Zhao Jian on the side deliberately curled his lips at Li Tang, showing an obvious look of disdain.

Li Tang had no choice but to shake his hand again.

In fact, when Li Tang appeared at the door, he attracted a lot of people's attention.Linghu Chong!The male lead in the first mainland version of Jin Yong's drama, and one of the four major and minor actors in the mainland.

Recently, I have seen his name in the entertainment news. As the leading male lead in "Subway to Spring" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, he is the leading male lead in Lou Ye's new film "Purple Butterfly", and he plays the life and death spy with Zhang Ziyi. War and so on.

Some well-informed people also learned that he has already established his own business and is one of the investors in "Metro to Spring". He is no longer just an actor, but has become a boss.

These people subconsciously began to make small calculations in their minds, and some people frequently looked at Fan Xiaopang.Everyone knows the relationship between the two, and it is obvious that this person must have helped her win the role of the second female lead.

Many people at the scene had gone through auditions. The competition for the role of Azi was also fierce at the beginning. Cheng Hao from Beijing People's Art Theater and Golden Horse Best Actress Li Xiaolu both competed for this role.

Compared to the actress who was reserved, the actor Hu Jun, who had dealt with Li Tang, immediately ran over and greeted him affectionately: "Li Tang, why are you free today?"

"Come and have a look and learn from everyone." Li Tang shook hands with him and said with a smile.

"Don't, it makes us feel so embarrassed when you say that! Every time we don't train well, Director Yuan always takes you out as an example."

Hu Jun is really very tall. He is 1.8 meters tall. Both his appearance and his voice make people feel a strong aura of male hormones. No wonder there are rumors in the circle that he finished filming "Lan Yu" that year. After that, even director Guan Jinpeng was attracted to him.But I don’t know whether it fell or not. I only know that after "Lan Yu", Hu Jun went to Hong Kong to develop, and Guan Jinpeng did his best to help.

As Hu Jun said this, he turned around and asked Lin Zhiying who was following him: "Xiao Zhi, do you think so?"

It was just the first time for Lin Zhiying and Li Tang to meet. He was not very familiar with mainland actors. He just came over to say hello after being reminded by his agent.I didn't hear clearly what Li Tang and Hu Jun said just now, so I was a little stunned, but immediately responded quickly and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!"

He immediately introduced himself with a smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Li, I am Lin Zhiying, playing Duan Yu."

This guy is indeed very young. He is the same age as Li Tang, but he looks like he is in his early twenties, but he has a sophistication that does not match his appearance.

Li Tang had a general impression of him, but he would definitely not show it in person, and he shook hands with him warmly: "Hello, Mr. Lin! It's an honor to meet you..."

He paused in the middle of the sentence and joked: "Mr. Lin, I grew up listening to your songs."

Lin Zhiying's expression was obviously stiff, but he still forced a smile and said: "It's all in the past, it's not worth mentioning."

What was once a little whirlwind in Asia has now faded away. It was only two years ago that he starred in the Gu Long martial arts drama "The Two Prides" together with Su Youpeng, who became famous again for starring in the "Returning the Pearl" series.

Li Tang also heard Zhang Dabeard talk about how when he was asked to play the role of Duan Yu in "Dragon", his management team actually offered an unbelievably high price.Lao Zhang was not even interested in talking, and was going to directly cast a newcomer named Ma Yuke to play Duan Yu.

His management team realized something was wrong, so they immediately flew to the capital and cut the original offer by [-]% before re-acquiring the role of Duan Yu.

Taibazi is like this. They are always pretentious at first, but when they get a taste of it, they will put their tail between their legs and become a human being.

It's just that I pity the newcomer Ma Yuke. It's like riding a roller coaster. He just reached the top and was not happy for a few seconds before he fell to the bottom again.Fortunately, Zhang Dabeard was kind enough to arrange a role for him as You Tanzhi.
