Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 484 Not confident

When I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the other side of the bed was already empty. It was rare for him to sleep in, so Li Tang didn't rush to get up. He leaned on the bedside and stretched out, looking out the window to the south.

It's a nice day today, the sun is shining brightly, and it's not dazzling even through a layer of window screen.

We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year. Since we parted ways in Shanghai in mid-April, we have only been in contact with Xiaopang by phone. Li Tang has been a vegetarian for almost three months.

While in Cannes, he was flirted with by classmate Xiao Zhang, and after returning to China, he and Gao Yuanyuan had an extreme relationship both on and off screen. If he wasn't afraid of trouble, he might have lost control long ago.

Last night, I had a few drinks to cheer me up, which greatly relieved my body and mind. After recalling the charm of last night, the first time was a little faster, and the second time we went to the top of the clouds together. After the aftertaste, I couldn't help but come a third time, and finally used up all the bullets.

Thinking about how small the entertainment industry is, the director of "The Family" that Xiaopang is currently filming is Teacher Jiang's ex-boyfriend, and he is with Teacher Jiang, which undoubtedly adds a bit of excitement.

After smacking his mouth twice with unsatisfied intentions, Li Tang finally got up from the bed, walked to the door of the bedroom and looked outside. He saw Teacher Jiang wearing a pair of elastic pants and a small vest, with a small MP3 player hanging around his waist. , wearing headphones, was doing various stretching exercises on the yoga mat in the living room.

Li Tang couldn't help but smile knowingly, then turned around and got into the bathroom to wash up.

Although he had dated countless women in his previous life, including several "good friends" in this life, in terms of experience, Teacher Jiang was undoubtedly the best. After all, he was born as a swordsman, and his figure and flexibility are simply amazing. He can always develop all kinds of unexpected styles, but he always has a shy look on his face. That feeling...

Li Tang, who was brushing his teeth, thought about this. Even though all the bullets were fired last night, he still couldn't help but feel that there was a tendency to raise his head.

During the exercise, Teacher Jiang's smooth forehead was covered with small beads of sweat, and a few hairs were stuck to her. Her little vest outlined a round figure, and her elastic pants wrapped her round and straight breasts. Everything was so pleasing to the eye.

It is said that serious people are the most beautiful. Li Tang leaned against the door frame, admiring Teacher Jiang's graceful figure. Teacher Jiang looks very good, with a white and rosy complexion, light eyebrows, and a rosy mouth. Just as he raised his head, he saw a pair of crystal clear eyes.

When their eyes met, Teacher Jiang's face showed a hint of shyness as expected. Looking at Li Tang's half-smiling expression, he then showed a look of embarrassment.

Li Tang rushed ahead and said with a smile: "Hey, you are practicing Pilates, right?"

Teacher Jiang didn't hear clearly at first. He realized that he was wearing headphones and quickly took them off. After hearing Li Tang repeat it again, he couldn't help but look surprised: "You also know Pilates?"

Pilates is still a new thing these days and has not yet become popular in China. Maybe most people think it is yoga at first sight.

Li Tang pointed and said, "You'll know just by looking at the movements you practice."

It should be said that in the eyes of laymen, Pilates and yoga are similar. The biggest difference may be that yoga movements focus on the body's flexibility and coordination exercises, making the body more symmetrical and coordinated; Pilates movements focus on local muscles. Exercise is more effective in reducing fat and shaping body shape.

As a drama actor who was active on stage in his previous life, he needed to pay special attention to body plasticity and symmetry, so Li Tang had long-term training in these two aspects, which can be seen at a glance.

Teacher Jiang showed an "ok" look, stood up from the yoga mat and said: "I used to practice yoga. This time I went to Wanwan and saw that Pilates was popular there, so I followed it. I used to learn I suffered several injuries when I was in Daomadan, and they said that doing Pilates might be better, which is a kind of rehabilitation exercise."

Speaking of which, many actors nowadays came from opera or dance in elementary school. This ratio is especially obvious for actors like Li Tang and Teacher Jiang who came from Chinese opera, Shanghai opera and Nortel majors, and they account for almost half of the class. , so they are very good physically.

But there are also negative factors. Opera and dance are both children's skills, and these people will more or less have some hidden injuries. Some people may even be unable to continue due to injuries, so they have to change careers and apply for acting majors.

Teacher Jiang once suffered a serious injury to his waist, which still aches every time it rains. In severe cases, he has to seek acupuncture and massage treatment from traditional Chinese medicine.

Li Tang nodded: "I think you have practiced very well just now, especially the waist muscles that really need more practice."

We can’t talk about treatment, but exercising more waist muscles and core strength can at least reduce the risk of future injuries, especially for actors like Teacher Jiang who often shoot scenes.

Although what he said was serious, when he saw Teacher Jiang's red face and chest heaving due to breathing, Li Tang couldn't help but step forward and hug him.

"Oh, don't make trouble, you're all sweaty." Teacher Jiang quickly ducked away, "It's almost noon, and I still have to cook. Aren't you hungry?"

Even though Teacher Jiang was very curious about knowledge when he was studying, making bold assumptions, careful verification, and solving various problems, he was always very shy in life and was not even allowed to peek while taking a shower or changing clothes.

Teacher Jiang dodged the clutches, ran into the bedroom, and got a change of clothes: "I'll take a shower first."

After saying that, he got into the bathroom and locked the door before Li Tang ran over.

Li Tang was originally meant to tease her, and adding some fun was very important to the relationship between the two of them and their relationship. Of course, this is not intentional, because teasing itself is an interesting thing and makes people feel happy. "You wash slowly, I'll cook."

Since learning cooking skills, Li Tang has never shown off in front of Teacher Jiang.

I finished eating the cold fungus and asparagus stir-fried shrimp last night, and there was still more than half of the stir-fried twice-cooked pork. I sealed it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. Then I took it out and microwaved it for a while.

I have finished eating the winter melon in the pork rib soup, but there is still a lot of pork ribs and soup left. I cut two tomatoes and stir-fry them briefly, then put them into the soup. It is delicious and appetizing.

Although both Li Tang and Teacher Jiang are rich now, they are not so luxurious that they don't eat leftovers. It's not that they don't have this condition, but it's mainly because the traditional Chinese concept is that wasting food is a lightning strike.

The rice in the rice cooker was basically untouched, so I fried some eggs and fried rice, and also made some cucumbers.

When Teacher Jiang came out after taking a shower and changing into home clothes, the food was already on the table.

"To eat, let's have a bowl of soup first."

Teacher Jiang had doubts about Li Tang's cooking skills. He had always listened to Li Tang bragging on the phone. I sat down and carefully took a sip of the soup. It was not only moderately salty, but also very sour and appetizing.

But this soup doesn't count. It was cooked last night. I just need to add some tomatoes to it.

She hesitantly looked at the plate of oily egg fried rice. It smelled quite fragrant and looked pretty good. The rice had distinct grains, was wrapped in egg liquid, and was golden in color. She was very appetizing at first glance.

"What are you looking at? Eat! Try my craftsmanship."

As Li Tang said that, he put a plate into her bowl and helped her scoop it.

"No, no, I'm trying to lose weight, just have a taste." Teacher Jiang said quickly.

"You're not fat either, so why lose weight?"

"Wenxiu's prototype character is very thin, and I wanted to fit the character as closely as possible."

Greasy egg fried rice is a big no-no for weight loss. Teacher Jiang only took a small spoonful and put it into his mouth to taste. It tasted surprisingly good. Not only was it crispy, but it was also intertwined with the rich aroma of egg and oil, which left an endless aftertaste. .

"Well, it's delicious!" Teacher Jiang praised sincerely.

"It's just egg fried rice, it's a joke." Li Tang said with a smile on his face, "How about some more?"

Teacher Jiang was full of hesitation, but in the end he could not resist the temptation of delicious food. He took the initiative to pick up the small bowl and said: "Don't take too much, just half a bowl will do."

Compared to Teacher Jiang's restraint, Li Tang showed no pressure and directly put a large plate of egg fried rice in front of him and ate it. I consumed too much last night, and after sleeping until noon, I was already hungry.

While eating, he didn't forget to look up and look at Teacher Jiang who was sipping the soup: "You are not fat now. You are just right for the photo. There is no need to lose weight."

For photogenic reasons, actors look thinner in real life than on camera. Teacher Jiang's body is not fat at all, and her face can be completely modified through makeup.

"I wasn't fully prepared this time, so I just wanted to try my best to fit the character in terms of image." Teacher Jiang looked up at Li Tang with a hint of unconfidence in his expression.

This is not very common among actors who have played countless roles since their debut nearly ten years ago. But Li Tang can understand after thinking about it. In recent years, Mr. Jiang has filmed most martial arts dramas. To be honest, action dramas generally do not require high acting skills from actors. In addition, he had trouble with the agency because of contract renewal issues. It was not very pleasant, and she was either a guest star or second female lead in several dramas one after another. Now that she was suddenly cast as the leading female lead in a major female-led drama, and the director was Teng Wenji, a well-known director in the industry, it was inevitable that she felt a little uneasy.

Li Tang comforted: "Yesterday you said that it might be postponed until September before the start of filming. There is still more than a month and almost two months, which is enough time to prepare. Even if you are a little unsure now, as long as you read the script well Go online to check more information about the last imperial concubine, explore more about the mental journey of the characters in the background of the story, and write more biographies of the characters based on your own understanding. As long as you do these solidly, you will be able to portray this character well with your acting skills Yes, don’t worry.”

In fact, Teacher Jiang understood what Li Tang said, but when he heard Li Tang's last words, he still recognized his acting skills, Teacher Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you really think my acting skills are good?"

"Of course, we worked together very well last time, and the response from the audience after the broadcast was real." Li Tang said with a smile.
