Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 357
Tianzhuangzhuang has been watching the interaction between the two with a smile, acting very indifferent, not as ugly as some directors.Seeing that Li Tang and Mr. Wang had almost finished chatting, he asked, "Xiao Li, what did you think after watching the movie?"

He had asked Lu Chuan this question before. As his former student, Lu Chuan naturally boasted about it.Of course the good words sounded comfortable, but he still had some self-awareness, and he did not agree with Lu Chuan's flattering comments from the bottom of his heart.

The reason why he wanted to ask Li Tang the same question again in front of Lu Chuan was to see if the attitude of young filmmakers nowadays was to tell the truth.

As the 78th-level leader of Nortel's directing department, their generation has experienced the entire special period intact. Although they have experienced various hardships, they are still a rebellious generation at heart.

They have always tried to use movies to restore the suffering of the year. In a sense, only Director Chen was successful because his "Farewell My Concubine" was released and received a great response.But he and Zhang Yimou failed.Fortunately, Zhang Yimou is more tactful than him. Although "Alive" was banned, he was not personally affected much.But because he refused to compromise and because the film showed it more thoroughly, he was eventually banned from directing for ten years.

That is to say, relying on the influence of his parents, he was able to retain his public position and rank, which deprived him of the right to make movies for ten years.A director's period from 40 to 50 years old is the period when an artist is most mature, creative and energetic, and it was just wasted.

This is a big blow to a director who loves movies.Ten years of hard work may have dried up the source of his creativity, and he also lacked the source of creative motivation in his heart, but he still maintained the precious childlike innocence of a film creator.

To put it bluntly, he is an old naughty boy who has lost all his spirit and has no inhibitions.He wanted to hear if Li Tang could tell the truth. If he sang praises like Lu Chuan, it would be harmless and turn into a joke.But if the truth was told, he was very much looking forward to seeing what his once proud student would look like.

In fact, Tianzhuangzhuang's mentality was somewhat unreasonable. He didn't care at all whether Li Tang would offend Lu Chuan if he told the truth.This is also a common problem among big-yard boys like them. They can be happy or angry as they please without considering the feelings of others at all.

I hate the excuses they make for "fun" and "joking" the most, but I don't know how much harm they often cause to ordinary people just because of their so-called "fun" or "joking".

Of course Li Tang was kept in the dark at this time, but he was not stupid, and of course he would not directly tell Tianzhuangzhuang that this is still Mr. Fei Mu's classic, not your director Tian's classic.

This is like the leader saying to you in a friendly manner: "You are welcome to give your opinions." If you really put forward your opinions all at once, it only means that you are too young and have not yet received the beating from society.Of course, Li Tang couldn't even express his disgusting praise. People always have to have some bottom line.

He smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I was asked this question by a reporter at the door just now."

The content of his previous interviews with reporters will definitely be published in newspapers and will definitely be reproduced by online media.In his previous life, he often heard a saying, "The Internet has memory."With the rise of online media, what you have said and done will often be revealed at critical moments, so whenever he is interviewed, he often reminds himself to be careful with his words and deeds to avoid becoming a celebrity in the future. own dark history.

"Oh, how did you answer?" Tianzhuangzhuang suddenly asked with interest.

"I'm an actor, so of course I mainly watch performances. The actors' performances in the movie are still very good."

"What about other things? For example, the movie itself..."

"Well, this is not within my business scope, so it's hard to comment on it."

"Let's talk, how do you feel?"

Li Tang was slightly surprised to hear that Tianzhuangzhuang seemed a bit reluctant, but he didn't think much about it. He just guessed that this might be his first work after his comeback, and he was eager to get feedback.

So he mused: "If we talk about the movie itself, I think it is much better than the original version in terms of technique. Especially the lonely and cold lens language, which is particularly suitable for Zhang Zhichen and Zhou Yuwen's emotional state. Hu Li’s old love.”

If it was just the first half of the sentence, Tianzhuangzhuang would definitely think that Li Tang was perfunctory.Just kidding, the original version was written more than 50 years ago. Today's film technology has improved a lot. If it is still inferior to the original work in terms of technique, then he, the director of Nortel's directing department, is definitely in vain.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, Tian Zhuangzhuang's eyes suddenly lit up, because this was his original intention. He used the camera lens to look at the relationship between Zhang Zhichen and Zhou Yuwen quietly from the perspective of a bystander without any emotional factors. This emotion.

However, Gianzhuangzhuang still seemed a little dissatisfied and asked: "Is there anything else, for example, what is the difference between it and the original version?"

Li Tang felt that the other party seemed to be digging a hole for him. Did he have to tell him the shortcomings of the movie?

He could only continue to ponder: "If there is any difference from the original version, apart from the difference in techniques just mentioned...well, the biggest difference may be that the narration in the original version has been removed, which allows the audience to calm down and listen. Come and experience the unique ambiguity and ambiguity of this retold story!"

After finishing speaking, before Tianzhuangzhuang, who was full of excitement, could speak again, Li Tang then smiled and said: "Actually, a reporter just asked me what the difference is between this version of "Spring in a Small Town" and the original version. I just said this Director Koreda’s purpose in making this film was to express his respect in another way to the long-buried master of cinema.”

He said this just to silence Gianzhuangzhuang, so that the old man would not have to ask endless questions. At the same time, he was also implicitly saying that your movie is a tribute, so stop talking about other things.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Gianzhuangzhuang, who was originally excited, suddenly said in surprise: "Do you really think so?"

"Yes, that's what I answered when the reporter asked me just now. There may be reports tomorrow saying that I was criticizing your work, Director Tian!" He had experienced the virtues of those Hong Kong media last year, and they were completely Inheriting the Fleet Street style from their former godfather, they always take quotes out of context and then use them in various ways.He felt that it was still necessary to get vaccinated with Director Tian in advance to avoid misunderstandings when the old man saw relevant reports later.

In the end, Tianzhuangzhuang grabbed Li Tang's hand, shook it twice, and said excitedly: "My dear friend! Xiao Li, you read it very accurately. Let me tell you, I have watched the original version of "Spring in a Small Town" countless times, and even Every frame of the picture was deeply reflected in my mind. From the beginning, I wanted to re-shoot the movie based on my understanding. But halfway through the filming, I found that I couldn't escape the original frame. We can only make some technical adjustments. So, you are absolutely right, I made this movie to pay tribute to Director Fei Mu!"

Li Tang hurriedly smiled and said: "Director Tian, ​​thank you for your praise. These are just my personal superficial understandings, just telling the truth..."

At this time, he was somewhat flattered. He originally thought that as long as he didn't offend the old man in front of him, it would be fine.Even though Director Tian is now back on campus, according to common understanding, he is taking a back seat.

But don’t forget that he is the eldest brother of Nortel’s 78th class, and don’t forget that his parents are one of the founders of the new Chinese film industry. His former subordinates, disciples and grandchildren have already penetrated into every aspect of this industry.His status in the circle is transcendent.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the director Tian in front of me is a bit like those casual and free-spirited Jewish bosses in Hollywood who have family backgrounds.This kind of people should never be offended in the Hollywood circle, because there is often a huge group behind them, playing the role of talkers in all aspects.Often one sentence can determine your future and destiny in the industry, or even your wealth and life.

Seeing the enthusiastic interaction between the two, Mr. Wang smiled and seemed to be watching the fun, but he couldn't help but glance at Lu Chuan next to him.The same question just now, and Lu Chuan's flattery seemed to be too blunt at this time.Listen to people, this flattery is absolutely refreshing and refined.

It seems that he still underestimates this teacher Li, who is obviously a smart person.But since he is a smart person, he feels that there is more room for cooperation with the other party. After all, smart people know how to assess the situation better.

Lu Chuan's mood is obviously much more complicated. Although he has become a director, his family genes make him feel that he is a literati at heart, a literati-style director, rather than a simple film worker in the general sense.It's just that he forgot that since ancient times, literati have looked down upon each other, but they are an extremely narrow-minded group.

To be honest, when I saw Li Tang and Tianzhuangzhuang talking and laughing, jealousy arose in my heart, especially when I thought about my previous response, I felt like a clown.Especially when Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced over intentionally or unintentionally, he felt ashamed. He looked away in shame and did not dare to look directly. At the same time, he looked deeply at Li Tang, and then lowered his head unwillingly.

Li Tang seemed to feel a dangerous aura on the back of his head. When he looked back, he only saw Mr. Wang with a smile and Director Lu Chuan with his head lowered...

On September [-], the large group of people set off back to China.They did not wait until the closing ceremony and awards ceremony on September [-], which was meaningless for the films shortlisted for the non-competition screening unit, and staying here for one more day would mean an extra [-] yuan in expenses.

Zhang Baibai and Liu Fendou are very excited. For them, they have finally experienced the elegance of one of the three major European film festivals. As directors and screenwriters of only a few shortlisted films from the Mainland, they feel that they have taken a step forward in their careers. A new level is enough for them to show off their power in front of their peers and pretend to be awesome.

As a heroine, Xu seems to have long forgotten the embarrassment of being ignored by Gong Li. Before leaving, she participated in a red carpet event and successfully took a photo with the Hollywood actress Julianne Moore who was present on the red carpet. She sent it back to China with another A topic of hype.

This trip to Venice is very timely for her. After all, as one of the "Four Little Actresses", she is the one with the weakest sense of existence, especially since she has not had many outstanding works in recent years, which leads her to look at the other three. Wei's career is booming, but she can only stick to the so-called "talented girl" persona.

Fortunately, this trip to Venice made her a lot of headlines, and she was able to regain some of her fading popularity. At the same time, as the female lead in an art film, she further solidified her role as a "talented girl".

As for the second female lead, Wang Li, who brought a group of followers, she also came out to see the world this time.However, she is not very interested in the red carpet, but is very interested in Venice's dazzling array of luxury goods.After attending a few red carpets to satisfy my curiosity and vanity, I began to frequently visit major luxury stores in Venice.

Obviously she is also a smart person, knowing that she is not in this industry, let alone a star. After playing for a while, the most important thing is to make some money while she is young.

Although Zeng Jia is the busiest person as the team leader, she has already become familiar with it after last year's experience. Moreover, with Zhao Luoyao's help this time, she felt a lot more relaxed and finally had time to travel in Venice, a world-famous tourist destination. Strolled around the city.

The other is Li Tang’s assistant, Xiao Zhao. Although he has been busy with Zeng Jia for a few days this time, it can be regarded as an eye-opener.But the important thing was that she had the opportunity to go out with the two bosses this time, and she had already gained the upper hand in the battle with Du Hua, assistant to Zeng. She was especially looking forward to taking a good look at Du Hua's jealous expression when she returned to the company.

Yes, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.With the establishment of the company, Zhao Luoyao, assistant to Chairman Li Tang, and Du Hua, assistant to General Manager Zeng Jia, inevitably began to have feelings for each other, and even each even attracted a group of people and divided into two camps.

As the big boss, Li Tang knew nothing about this, but Zeng Jia knew it. Don't forget that there was her informant among the employees.However, she did not intervene. On the contrary, she was encouraging. After all, competition will lead to progress.Du Hua originally had the upper hand because he was more advanced in the company than Zhao Luoyao and was the assistant to the general manager.This time, Zeng Jia deliberately brought Zhao Luoyao to Venice and left Du Hua behind, just to help Xiao Zhao increase his momentum and maintain a balance.

This is the imperial way inherited from China's 5000-year history. It is also the embodiment of the culture of moderation. It is also the leadership art that the leader of any team must master. Only through balance can the overall situation be controlled.

As for Li Tang, who knew nothing, he was in a good mood.

The movie's performance in Venice was unexpectedly good. We finalized the cooperation with MK2, went on a romantic trip with Jiang Qinqin, and purchased more than 20 bottles of Venice perfume in the box, which was enough for the little fat guy to show off and make fun of.

Overall, this trip to Venice was a fruitful one.

　A wisdom tooth grows sideways in the gums and becomes a barometer of health. If you catch a slight cold, it will become inflamed, followed by toothache.If you want to pull it out, you have to wait until it is completely done before you can pull it out.But after I recovered, I forgot about the pain and didn’t have the courage to pull out the tooth. I thought it would be good to use it as a barometer of health.But this time it seemed a little more serious. In addition to toothache, I also had a slight fever.I originally wanted to continue with two more updates today, but unfortunately I couldn't do it. I'll try my best to do it tomorrow.
