Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 358 Don’t spread false rumors
"Teacher Li, let's go smoke a cigarette together!" Xu Jinglei came over, pursed her lips in the direction of the smoking area, and invited.

The return trip required a transfer at Frankfurt Airport, and the whole process took four hours. Li Tangzheng was bored waiting, so he readily agreed: "Okay!"

Unlike many airports that ban smoking, Frankfurt Airport is relatively user-friendly. There is a designated place in the terminal where you can smoke, and it does not have a closed and cramped space as a smoking area like some places.This is a place similar to a bar counter. There is a circle of seats around the outside, which is not even separated from the outside space. There is a smoke exhaust device in the middle, and everyone sits around and puffs away the smoke.

When Li Tang arrived at the place and was about to take out a cigarette, Xu Jinglei had already handed it over: "Smoke mine."

She took out a pack of Baiwan and handed one to Li Tang, and also used a lighter to light it for him.

Compared with the strong Red Marlboro, the Marlboro packaged in white shell is softer.

One more thing, compared to China, many foreign airports allow passengers to carry a simple lighter, which is commonly known as a disposable lighter.In fact, we didn’t care before. Since September 911 last year, Europe has tightened control. For example, kerosene Zip lighters are no longer allowed.

Xu Jinglei's smoking posture is very sophisticated, and she looks like a long-time smoker at first glance.During the filming, I saw her smoking constantly and being very addicted to cigarettes.

The two chatted casually for a few words at first, and maybe they felt that the preparation was almost done. Xu Jinglei said with a solemn and somewhat embarrassed look: "Teacher Li, what happened last time made you laugh..."

Of course Li Tang knew what was going on, but he was pretending to be confused at the moment and said first, "What's going on?"

"Uh……"

Xu Jinglei was stunned at first, then looked complicated, and finally said with gratitude: "Thank you!"

Li Tang just smiled, and when he saw that the Baiwan in his hand was almost exhausted, he took out his own and said, "Another one?"

Xu Jinglei relaxed and said with a smile: "Okay!"

In fact, many people saw the scene at the premiere of "Spring in a Small Town". They just saw Gong Li's indifference towards Xu Jinglei. As for what happened specifically at that time, only the person involved and the two people who were with her at the time could tell. Li Tang, who was together, knew.

Afterwards, there were indeed people who wanted to find out from him why the two had such unpleasantness, including of course some well-informed reporters.

Li Tang's answer was naturally "I don't know."

"That's OK!"

"Nothing unpleasant happened."

Diplomatic rhetoric like this.

So there may be some rumors, but no one knows what exactly happened.It is precisely because of this that the scene just happened.

Li Tang's pretending to be stupid was just to tell Xu Jinglei that he had forgotten about it a long time ago, and just pretended that this matter did not exist, so that she could completely rest assured.

Now that the conversation was out of the way, Xu Jinglei was completely relieved of her worries. After lighting up another three-five, the two of them chatted much more easily.

Xu Jinglei participated in many red carpet events in Venice and talked about many new things.For example, Hollywood actress Julianne Moore looks pretty on the screen, but in private, her face, especially her open chest, is densely covered with freckles. If you have trypophobia, you will definitely be covered in freckles. I'm getting goosebumps.

In fact, in the aesthetic view of foreigners, freckles sometimes represent sexy. The most obvious example is Kelly Reilly, who plays the female lead Beth Dutton in the American TV series "Yellowstone". She also has freckles on her face. But in the eyes of Americans, she is definitely a sexy goddess.

Just like in Chinese people's aesthetics, whiteness has always been regarded as beauty, and there is a saying that "one whiteness covers all ugliness". People like Xu Jinglei who are born with darker skin lose a lot of points in terms of appearance.But during this trip to Venice, her skin tone was very popular among Europeans.

In fact, there have been rumors that Xu Jinglei was Wang Shuo's mistress, and she did not deny it.In this regard, Li Tang quite admired him. At least he was much better than those who acted and stood up, and dared to act!
Moreover, during the filming of "Subway to Spring", Li Tang discovered that this girl has a cheerful personality, is not pretentious, and has good key acting skills, which is already better than most female stars in the industry.

So he believed his own eyes more than rumors.Besides, the relationship between the two of them is not yet friends. As for how others behave, that is their business. As long as it does not hinder themselves, what does it have to do with them?
As the saying goes, it's convenient for others.Make the friends and connections you need within your circle, instead of making enemies and grudges everywhere.

At the end of the day, Li Tang smiled again and said, "Our movie will be released at the end of the month. By then, I will have to work hard for you to run around."

Xu Jinglei smiled sweetly and said: "Teacher Li, look at what you said, isn't this the way it should be!" Look, this is the best way to start a relationship.

Not to mention, Xu Jinglei's smile is quite sweet and sexy. It's no wonder that Wang Shuo, a big boss in the Beijing circle, fell in and couldn't pull it out.

The schedule of "Metro to Spring" has been confirmed, and it is aimed at this year's National Day release.To be honest, the domestic box office market has been very weak in the past few years, and I am not afraid of being embarrassed to say it. The total annual box office of a country with more than one billion people is not even comparable to the box office of a Hollywood blockbuster in North America.Therefore, except for the New Year movies pioneered by Huayi Brothers and Feng Xiaogang, there is no concept of the so-called National Day movie.

And compared to last year’s National Day holiday, when there were so many movies released, this year it seems a lot deserted. The only movie that can be hit may be the director Chen’s "With You" released on September 9. This movie brings together Wang Zhiwen, Liu Peiqi, as well as the charming director's wife Chen Hong and other celebrities are indeed very exciting.

It was originally rumored that the film would also participate in the Venice Film Festival, but it turned out that it did not come and instead went to the Toronto Film Festival in UMass.

Li Tang read relevant reports. According to producer Chen Hong's explanation, the Toronto Film Festival has a large North American market and is a very important film market. Compared with the Venice Film Festival, which has a lot of art films, the film market is much larger. .

But he thinks the biggest reason for this is that the film was only symbolically shortlisted for screening in Venice, which made director Chen, a former Palme d'Or winner, embarrassed.In contrast, the Toronto Film Festival, which just opened a few days ago, listed Director Chen's work as the opening film, giving Director Chen sufficient courtesy.

After a nearly twenty-hour journey, it was almost noon the next day when we arrived at the Capital Airport in Beijing. Everyone with tired faces felt a sense of relief.

Before getting off the plane, Zeng Jia, who was busy with work, turned on her mobile phone and was surprised when she read a message: "There are movie fans and reporters at the airport to pick you up!"

Picking up movie fans at the airport is nothing new. Usually when attending large-scale events, there will be movie fans at the airport to welcome you, especially if you want to take photos or sign autographs.But we rarely encounter this kind of situation in normal times. After all, movie fans won’t wait at the airport all day long with nothing to do.What's more, there are reporters. Someone must have leaked the flight number in advance, and it was also deliberately organized.

Just as everyone looked at Zeng Jia with surprised eyes, in order not to disturb other passengers on the plane, Zeng Jia lowered her voice and said, "It was arranged by Bona."

It is obvious that Bona, as the distributor, has begun to build momentum for the film's release. The film's participation in the Venice Film Festival itself is a good publicity point.

After getting off the plane, Li Tang hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash his face at Zeng Jia's urging. He cheered up and modified himself a little to show a good image to the fans and reporters who were picking him up outside.

Xu Jinglei and Wang Li also took the time to put on light makeup to cover up their tired expressions.

Sure enough, when everyone took their luggage and walked out of the aisle, they saw flashing lights in front of them, and at the same time, they were accompanied by enthusiastic shouts from movie fans: "Hello, Teacher Li!"

"Xu Jinglei, I love you!"

The name Teacher Li originally came from Xiaopang, and the scandal between the two has been flying all over the world until now. Although the two have never admitted it publicly, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, especially Li Tang, who has successively won the title of "Teacher Li" in recent years. They have won the Huabiao Film Newcomer Award, the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor, and the Venice Film Festival Best Actor. They have also been shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor many times. In the eyes of the majority of movie fans, the two of them are very suitable for the concept of male talent and female appearance. They have long been regarded as Considered a couple.

However, every time Xiaopang mentions Li Tang in an interview, he always refers to him as Teacher Li, which is a bit trying to cover up, but it is also easy to make people think wrong. Therefore, the title of Teacher Li is more ridiculing in the mouths of movie fans. smell.

Not only the enthusiasm of the movie fans, but also the reporters who had been waiting for a long time gathered around them with long guns and short cannons. Microphones and recorders were passed to Li Tang and Xu Jinglei's mouths, and they kept asking questions. Various questions.

"Please tell me how you feel about going to Venice this time?"

"Of course it feels very good. This year's Venice Film Festival was as lively as last year. I also watched many excellent movies and felt deeply..."

"I would like to ask if there are any regrets that "Metro to Spring" was not shortlisted for the competition unit this time but was instead selected for the non-competition unit?"

"How could there be regrets? Don't you know how many films from all over the world want to participate in the Venice Film Festival every year? For us, whether it is a shortlisted competition unit or a non-competition screening unit, we can go to Venice It’s victory!”

Li Tang walked out and answered reporters' questions with a smile.

Of course, there are also uninteresting ones. For example, a guy wearing glasses handed the microphone to Xu Jinglei's mouth and asked: "Excuse me, Xu Jinglei. According to reliable information, you and Gong Li were in the premiere of "Spring in a Small Town"." Something unpleasant happened at the screening, can you talk about the specific situation?"

This question almost made Xu Jinglei embarrassed on the spot. Fortunately, in order to take into account her own image, she could only say expressionlessly: "There is no such thing at all. I hope everyone will not spread rumors."
