Chapter 9 Assembly
The first day of the Lunar New Year.
The father and the other two went out early, Li Tang rode a motorcycle, and Lao Li drove his own small van to buy groceries and loaded half a car of things.
Before leaving, Old Li told him as usual: "Be careful, don't ride too fast."
During the Spring Festival, there were few cars on the road, and the road was smooth and it took less than an hour. The two of them arrived at the downstairs of the old apartment on Taiyuan Road almost at the same time.
Li Tang parked the car and went to help carry things upstairs, with a lot of big bags.
"Look at you, you're in a mess, and you don't know how to clean up during the Chinese New Year." As soon as Lao Li entered the door, he began to look straight and look straight.
The labor results of my ex-girlfriend came last time did not last for a few days. She threw clothes on the sofa, scripts and manuscripts on the table were very messy.
Li Tang chuckled, quickly put his clothes together and threw them into the closet. When he came out, he saw his father about to help clean the table, but he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Dad, don't move! These are work materials, I know what I know. Don't
I can't find it back."
During this period, he was busy getting familiar with the script and doing various desk work. When an actor got the script to prepare, he was not as simple as memorizing lines. First, he had to sort out the plot, figure out the relationship between the characters, and write about the characters.
Biography and so on.
Old Li hummed twice, turned around and put the things he brought into the refrigerator.
His son didn't have a good rest during the Spring Festival, and he was worried that his son would not eat well, including milk and fruits, his own beef sauce duck, fish and drunk chicken, rice dumplings, glutinous rice cakes, and meat steamed buns.
"Don't be lazy when eating, don't turn it in the microwave, it will be delicious if it is steamed in water."
After Old Li finished his work, he had to go around the neighbors upstairs and downstairs, and each family gave him a serving of glutinous rice cake. This place is old residents, most of whom have status and status. When Li Tang's grandmother lived here in her early years, she lived here.
, Lao Li often comes and goes, and everyone is very familiar with him.
Li Tang's grandmother was born in a wealthy family and was a lady from a wealthy family. At first, she looked down on this country son-in-law. But Lao Li did a good job. Even after divorce, she still treated the old lady as her mother and respected her until the old lady passed away.
These neighbors saw it and had a very good impression of Lao Li.
Lao Li has a good side, and also has thieves from the bottom-level little citizens, who flatter and watch people play with food. The one who plays is a joke.
Shanghai people like to eat sweet glutinous rice cakes, which are also a must-have food for the New Year. Although it is sold outside, it is definitely not as good as milling fresh glutinous rice at home, willing to put ingredients, and the steamed from a large pot is of good quality.
Glutinous rice cake is delicious, has a good meaning, and is light in gifts and heavy in affection. These are all human favors!
After the incident, the father and son drove to Lou's house.
"Teacher Lou, Mrs. Lou, Happy New Year!"
"Oh, Xiaoye is back too!"
Lao Li is really grateful to the Lou family. Li Tang was very helpful in taking the exam and finding a job.
"On National Day, come here as soon as you come. Don't take so many things every time... This cigarette will be taken back later. Lao Lou has quit smoking now." Mr. Lou was as polite as ever.
That’s right, Old Li’s name is Li Guoqing, born in the 1950s. His birthday coincides with the first anniversary of National Day. His name is very consistent with the characteristics of that era.
"Teacher Lou has quit smoking. OK. Take care of your health and give it to Xiaoye."
Old Li held two Chinese cigarettes and stuffed them into Lou Ye's arms.
Lou Ye was not good at shirking, so he had to say: "Thank you, Uncle Guoqing."
"Whatever you thank you, you are all your own people."
Lou Jicheng looked at the cigarette in his son's hand reluctantly and greeted the Li family and his son to sit down.
"National Day, business is good this year?"
"It's okay to live a careless life. Teacher Lou, little guy has troubled you a lot this time, right?" Old Li had a simple smile on his face.
"Oh, he is the one who is working hard." Lou Jicheng waved his hand.
Speaking of this time, Li Tang was chosen by Peng Xiaolian to play the male lead in the tribute film "Shanghai Chronicle", he was really surprised.
As he said that, he turned his attention to Li Tang and said, "Li Tang, it is rare to have an opportunity. You should listen, watch, and learn more."
Lou Jicheng is also an actor and knows too well how rare it is for an actor to get a protagonist. Many actors never have the chance to play the protagonist in their entire lives.
There is an old saying in the industry that acting emphasizes one life, two fortunes, three Feng Shui, four accumulations of good deeds and five readings. It refers to how an actor develops, first of all, fortune, and then the so-called personal efforts such as reading.
Li Tang’s fortune has arrived this time, and the next thing we need to see his real material.
It is said that you should really listen, read and feel the performance. If you don’t understand anything, don’t have enough reserve knowledge, you cannot feel the tension behind the character through the script, the character should have personality characteristics, and you cannot create a character that is recognized by the audience.
Even if you have the chance, it is likely to be a flash in the pan.
Li Tang understood what Lou Jicheng meant and said seriously: "Uncle Lou, I remember that I will work hard to seize the opportunity."
Lou Ye sat beside him, blinking his little eyes, and looked at Li Tang curiously. The growth of this little brother seemed to be seriously beyond his expectations.
When Li Tang looked over, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Congratulations to Li Tang!"
"Thank you, Brother Ye."
When people get older, they love to recall the past. Every time they come to Lou's house to pay New Year's greetings with their father, they can always hear their father, Uncle Lou and Mrs. Lou talk about their hard years in Jiangxi farm.
Li Tang had long heard of his ears, but he still looked very polite and showed a relish. He asked or sighed just right at the critical moment, which was very enlightened.
Suddenly I heard someone beside me whisper: "Hey, I saw you riding a motorcycle on the street last time, with a girl behind you."
"ah?"
Li Tang turned to look at Lou Ye, looking surprised, as if saying: Are you talking to me? Don’t you play a silent listener every time?
He was very flattered and said, "Oh, that's my classmate, from Beijing. I came here some time ago to shoot an advertisement."
Classmate? How can you hug as tightly as a classmate?
Lou Ye is not a gossiper, he just wants to know what he cares about.
"Your classmate is also an actor?"
"Well, her name is Li Binbin, from the Beijing Experimental Drama Troupe. She has filmed "No Regret Tracking", and she plays Feng Kangmei."
Lou Ye recalled carefully, nodded and said, "It turned out to be her, she acted well."
He rarely watches TV series, but he still has an impression of this spy war drama that was popular in the past two years. He is a good friend of Wang Zhiwen, so he naturally recognizes Feng Kangmei, who plays Wang Zhiwen's daughter in the play.
Since Lou Ye took the initiative to talk to him for the first time, Li Tang started chatting with him: "Brother Ye, are you busy recently? Do you have any plans for a new film?"
"There are plans for new films, but..."
Lou Ye sighed, not knowing where to start for a moment.
His newly written book "Suzhou River" does want to shoot, but the last time he kept up with Shanghai Film Studio has no results. Shanghai Film Studio has plans to offer three tribute films this year and next year, and it is not possible to cooperate with him for the time being.
Li Tang had nothing to say, but he didn't continue to ask questions when he saw this. Instead, he changed the topic tactfully and talked about the two movies he had made before.
In his memory, his predecessor had watched Lou Ye's works, and he also had the discs of these two movies at home. After meeting Lou Ye last time, he revisited it again.
Based on his current understanding, after reading it, he naturally has deeper insights than his predecessor.
Lou Ye was surprised. He didn't expect that Li Tang had such a profound understanding of his movies. Not only was it meaningful, but most of them coincided with his original intention.
The scene I saw last time came to his mind without realizing it - Li Tang, wearing a leather jacket, rode a motorcycle with a thin girl, shuttled through the traffic...
...
The second day of the Lunar New Year, in the morning.
A happy 90 drove into the Shanghai Film Studio with a roar. In front of a small building, the car stopped. Li Tang, wearing a leather jacket and jeans, kicked the bracket, swung his long legs back, got out of the car, took off his helmet,
Hang it on the reflector and complete the whole set of actions in one go.
Chapter completed!
