Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 362

"call……"

It took more than an hour for Li Tangzi to read the script again carefully.Compared with the previous browsing with a relaxed mood, this time I didn't miss any punctuation, and I was even more picky.After all, those who dislike the goods are the ones who really want to buy the goods.

how to say?

This is a heartwarming story. Three depressed men and a group of problem children influence and change each other in the process of getting along. In the end, the adults gain insights, the children gain happiness, and everyone grows together.

The most important thing is the narrative method. If it is a positive narrative, it can easily fall into the shackles of preaching and be dull and tasteless.This book reads a bit like "Speak Well" directed by Zhang Yimou, explaining the process through humor.

It should be said that it is a good book. It is no wonder that Xu Guangtou is so obsessed with it.After Li Tang read it, he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he called Zeng Jia up with a phone call.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Zeng Jia walked in angrily.

When the company was first established, Zeng Jia actually called him "Chairman" seriously, which gave him goosebumps.Don't be ridiculous, a grass-roots team with only two or three kittens in total, what kind of chairman is it?

Finally, at his strong request, Zeng Jiacai continued to call him brother as before, while other employees in the company all called him "Teacher Li."

Zeng Jia had been with him for a long time, so it was only natural that he should be called brother.It’s just that there are too many girls in the company, and it’s easy for older brothers and younger sisters to get into trouble, so they are all called Teacher Li. This is to keep a relatively distance from everyone, and at the same time, remind themselves to be role models for others.

"Read this script first." Li Tang handed over the notebook in his hand.

"Whose script?"

Zeng Jia took it and looked at it, but couldn't find the author's name.

"Xu Zheng just brought it over. It was originally intended to be made into a TV series or TV movie, but he insisted on showing it to me."

Zeng Jia understood it instantly, but she didn't look at it immediately. Instead, she asked: "Brother, what do you think?"

"It's not bad, it's a comedy, there's something about it."

"comedy?"

Zeng Jia couldn't help but frown.

These days, movies are still regarded as an art form, and comedy can only be used as a seasoning in movies and cannot become mainstream.Back then, Zhang Yimou was scolded for filming "Let's Talk", and Uncle Benshan's "Men and Women Directors" won the Hundred Flowers Award and was ridiculed by everyone, not to mention Feng Xiaogang's New Year's comedy, which ranks among the top three domestic films at the box office every year. , still considered unpopular in the eyes of the mainstream.After Feng Pants and Huayi Brothers expired, they simply went to film the "Guanzhong Swordsman" series with China Film and Movie Channel, trying their best to move closer to the mainstream.

However, even though the comedy is not popular, watching Feng's Lunar New Year comedies become popular at the box office every year, there are not a few people who are jealous, and there are even more who follow the trend. Unfortunately, only Feng Xiaogang is successful.

To put it simply, the domestic market for investment comedy is uncertain and there is no overseas market.This puts a film company committed to developing overseas markets in just four words - the risk is very high!
Li Tang understood Zeng Jia's feelings, smiled and said, "So I want you to read the script, and we can discuss it later."

"Row!"

Zeng Jia follows the good example, after all, the company needs to have projects to work on.As for selecting scripts, she still trusts her boss's vision. She mainly judges the scale of investment based on the scripts.If the investment is not big, you can give it a try, but if the investment is large, then you really need to discuss it carefully.

Li Tang knew what he was talking about, but he still had some confidence in his heart. The main reason was that this project was not directed by Baldy Xu but directed by Wu Bin. Although Bald Xu had been very convincing before, he felt that it was still necessary to communicate with Director Wu Bin first.It just so happens that the Huabiao Awards Ceremony to be held next week is an opportunity.

In addition, he feels that if this script can produce satisfactory results, the most important thing lies in the actors' performances.Comedy relies heavily on lazy actors, such as Feng's comedy. Without Ge You, the effect would be greatly reduced.

He can rest assured about Baldy Xu. If this guy wants to have the right to speak, it would be a good idea to give him a producer.The two "Li Wei is an Official" are enough to prove his ability, and even in the drama center, from "The Color of Stocks" to the absurd comedy "He Doesn't Have Two Wifes" to be performed during the National Day, he is basically alone. Take the lead.

It is also very common in Hollywood for actors to have the right to speak. For example, in the "Mission: Impossible" series, Tom Cruise not only stars, but also serves as the producer. He has absolute say, and the director only needs to be responsible for the technical aspects. Things are OK.

This is also true for the "Fast and Furious" series.

Li Tang didn't know Director Wu Bin, but since he was able to win the New Director Award at the Huabiao Awards, there should be no problem at least in terms of technology.

……

"Teacher Li, I'm back!"

Li Tang walked out of the room, and before he could even get down the steps, he saw Fan Xiaopang rushing towards him, threw himself into his arms, and said coquettishly: "Ah, ah, you missed me so much, did you miss me?" ?”

"..."

Li Tang was speechless as he hugged her. When he saw the little assistant Wang Shasha following behind, who was holding back a smile, he had no choice but to pat the fat man on the back: "Okay, okay, we're all home. Let's take a rest first." .”

Xiaopang then reluctantly raised his head, still holding his waist and refusing to let go, hanging on his body like a conjoined twin.

Hey, demo, you're still going strong, right?
Li Tang simply stopped pretending, leaned down, and hugged the princess directly, and carried her into the house amidst Xiaopang's exclamations.When he got to the sofa, he was about to ask her to get down, but the fat boy still hugged his neck tightly and purred, "Kiss her, and you'll get off after you kiss her."

Xiaopang is getting more and more shameless now, but Li Tang is really embarrassed to speak in front of his assistant.

"Tsk, what's the fuss about? Hurry up!"

Fortunately, Wang Shasha was very discerning. When she put down her things, she didn't even glance here. As she hurried out, she didn't forget to say hello: "Sister, Teacher Li, I'll leave first."

It wasn't until the little assistant's back disappeared from the door that Li Tang reluctantly lowered his head and prepared to peck the pursed lips, but as soon as he made contact, the fat man kissed her tightly.

Li Tang couldn't help but his Adam's apple squirmed twice, and he just kept doing nothing, holding her in his arms and walking towards the bedroom next door...

They had been separated for less than half a month, and it was not even better to say goodbye than a wedding, but the little fat man's half-nudging and half-hearted words completely aroused Li Tang's desire to conquer.

It was great, but he found that Xiaopang seemed to be a bit "bad at learning" and didn't seem to have so many tempting tricks in the past.

"What kind of friends have you made on the set?"

I have to say that the crew of "Dragon" gathered a large group of actresses who can be called porn stars, such as Wang Luyao, Liti Chung, and Peng Dan.It is said that if there are three women in a drama, Xiaopang's character will definitely blend in with them.

"There is no one with whom we can talk, except the Liu Tao you met last time."

"The others?"

"That is to say, I have more contact with Brother Hu Jun, and I am not familiar with the others." "Not familiar? You have been closed for half a month in advance, and it has been almost half a month since you started the machine. Why are you not familiar with it?"

"Oh, old and young, they are all quite complicated. Especially...well, Liu Yifei, whom you are very concerned about, she stays on the set every day, as if she is afraid that we will bring bad luck to her children."

"So you learned what you did just now from Liu Tao?"

"Oh, what is it?"

The cunning little fat guy actually pretended to be stupid and refused to admit it.

"Be honest!"

Li Tanghu asked with a face.

Xiaopang immediately showed a very cooperative look and said hesitantly: "Oh, we have a good relationship, of course we have a deeper conversation!"

As he spoke, he showed excitement and said: "Let me tell you, I know a lot about this and have experience. Let's try it again later!"

"Just give it a try! Aren't you hungry?"

Li Tang flicked her little head.

It was almost time to finish eating when we came back, but now it was getting dark.

They called Lao Cai Restaurant at the entrance of the alley and ordered some dishes. The two of them got up, took a shower and changed clothes, and the ordered dishes were delivered in about the same time.

"Would you like to have a drink with me?"

"No, I have to go out early tomorrow morning, so I won't drink."

"By the way, how was the filming of your scene?"

"It's going pretty well. I'm mainly doing opposite scenes with Sister Tao and Brother Hu Jun, and the cooperation is pretty good."

The two chatted while eating. Xiaopang is now very careful about managing his figure. He is no longer as big on fish and meat as before. He is just like a kitten, so he only eats low-carb cat food.This process was quite painful at first, but it's okay once you get used to it.After all, actors are the breadwinners, especially actresses, and body management is the first priority.

"The most annoying thing is that Taiwanese guy!"

After following Li Tang for a long time, Xiaopang also learned a lot of slang in Shanghai dialect.

"You are such a fool and you still have to put on airs. The key is literary drama. You can't do well in literary drama. You can't do martial arts in martial arts. It's really hard to explain! I think it's better to choose Xiao Ma to play Duan Yu. Poor little kid. Ma can only play You Tanzhi now."

The pony that Xiaopang mentioned was the backup candidate for Duan Yu that Zhang Dabeard had chosen.A very handsome young man. Although he has no professional background, his father is an actor in the Gansu Theater, so he has a family background.

It happened that my father met Zhang Dabeard, who was an actor at the Shanxi Theater at the time, and that gave me this opportunity.

"He can't be that bad, can he?"

Li Tang was quite surprised. Although he didn't know much about Lin Zhiying, in his original memory, after all, he was known as the "Asian Little Whirlwind" back then, and he was somewhat of an idol filter.Moreover, he has also filmed many film and television dramas before, such as "The Story of Playing Back from School", "The Boy in the Laughing Forest", etc., which were all very popular.

But Xiaopang said disdainfully: "What? It's called not being afraid of not knowing the goods, but being afraid of comparing goods. You'll know if you have the skills as soon as you get on the stage and join hands. It's not acting material at all. Although everyone doesn't say it on the surface, in fact Secretly I dislike him..."

A film crew, especially a large film crew like "Dragon", is a small society.There are all kinds of people, from actors to behind the scenes.And because of the different status and weight of roles among the actors, all kinds of intrigues and rejections are really endless.If you have a good mentality and observe from the perspective of a melon-eater, you will find that the life of the crew is actually very exciting.

It was quite interesting for Li Tang to listen to Xiaopang chatting about the gossips about the crew of "Dragon". Maybe it was because he had experienced the life of the crews of "Swordsman" and "The Condor" before, and now from the perspective of a melon-eater, he has a more clear-eyed view. Feel.

Xiaopang also talked about the fact that the person who despised Lin Zhiying the most was not her, but the little girl who played Mu Wanqing opposite Lin Zhiying.

He had some impression of this little girl Li Tang. She was the one who glared at him inexplicably last time when he went to visit the class.He has just turned [-] this year, but he is already an old actor.She was born as a child star and has appeared in many movies and TV dramas. She may have been a female transformation, but Li Tang didn't recognize her last time.But at first glance, you can tell that he is a little pepper who is not easy to mess with.

Xiaopang also said that she was careless and could not speak with her brains.That is to say, because Director Zhou Xiaowen is protecting her, everyone is not as familiar with her as she is.

But Li Tang listened for a long time and didn't see her mention the female lead Liu Yifei, so he couldn't help but said: "By the way, how was Liu Yifei's performance?"

"Tch, how can a little girl act in a movie?" Xiao Pang said with disdain.

But having said that, her mind couldn't help but think of Liu Yifei's appearance in the play: long shawl hair tied with silver wire, wearing a lotus-colored gauze shirt, with two long strands of hair hanging out from the shoulders and slowly falling to the chest.

Especially the pristine face with curved eyebrows and pure and flawless eyes.Her skin is as white as jade, full of collagen, and her smile seems to be untainted by the dust of the world.

To be honest, when I saw this scene, even Xiaopang, who always prided himself on his beauty, felt a little ashamed of himself.In the play, Duan Yu calls her the fairy sister, and she turns out to be a fairy sister.

It’s not that Xiao Chuang feels that he is taller than his peers, but that he exudes the aura of a wealthy flower in the world. Just thinking about it makes people crazy with envy.

But the more this happened, the less she wanted to mention it, but Li Tang still asked curiously, which made the already sour Xiaopang unhappy: "Why do you care so much about her? Isn't it special that you didn't see her last time?" Disappointed?"

"What's so disappointing?"

Li Tang was confused.

"Tch, why are you pretending? You just like to be young and pretty. Don't think I don't know!" Xiao Pang choked.

Thinking back then, when I was still an adult, I was seduced by him in a daze.

"I... want to attack at [-] o'clock? Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Tang was so anxious that he even blurted out in Shanghai dialect, what does it mean to like young people? If someone heard it, they would think he was a lolita maniac.

The guy then said with an innocent face: "She is the female lead in your drama. I just asked casually, which part of your cast is wrong?"

He has seen photos of Liu Yifei. She is indeed pretty, but after all, she is only a 15-year-old child. At most, she is relatively well-developed.This is easy to understand, after all, they grew up in the United States, and because of their diet, they generally develop earlier.
