After filming, I returned to the Imperial Capital, and the time came to November 27th, which makes it December.
Knowing the exact time of Xia Yu's return to Beijing, Tao Tang drove her little Chery and waited outside the train station early.
Meng Dong shook his hand and recognized Tao Tang at a glance.
"Sister Tang! Here!"
“Welcome home!”
He opened his arms and took the two of them into his arms, with a Tao Tang-style heroine smile on his face.
Even though Xia Yu was wearing a mask, Tao Tang could still see Xia Yu's condition at a glance. Although he was not sallow and skinny, he looked malnourished, as if he had a serious illness, and he was very thin.
, it is estimated that a strong wind in the imperial capital would even blow her over.
The luggage of the two people was piled up in the trunk, and Yuan Bao was successfully picked up by Tao Tang and placed on the passenger seat.
"Hey, our little ancestor has lost weight too."
He has indeed lost a lot of weight compared to before he left the imperial capital, and his big round face is gone.
The listeners were sad and shed tears. As soon as they heard about food, the little guy, who had lived a hard life for several months, became closer to Tao Tang almost by leaps and bounds. If it weren't for the cat cage, he would have loved to nest in her.
There was a buzzing sound in my arms.
An hour later, the group returned to the familiar courtyard. All the leaves on the jujube trees had fallen.
Xia Yu didn't bother to pack her luggage and put it back in the room. She sat on a wicker chair in the courtyard and leaned against it. Meng Dong knew that Xia Yu didn't like others touching the furnishings in her room, so he didn't touch her luggage.
He moved into his own nest and packed his things.
"I've suffered a lot in the past few months, so I'll make up for it when I come back this time."
"It's not bad, the filming was finally completed successfully."
In fact, Tao Tang has also lost weight, has heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his mental outlook has dropped several times.
Thinking about her state two years ago, and thinking about it again, Tao Tang's personality has really changed a lot. She used to be very strong, like an iron man made of steel rods and concrete. Nothing can stump her.
Now...she is a lot silent, and I am obviously not the one who can communicate with her often.
Xia Yu looked at Tao Tang and suggested, "Sister, how about we find time to see a psychiatrist?"
"Why are you seeing a psychiatrist..." Tao Tang was sitting on the side making tea. He subconsciously raised his head and met Xia Yu's eyes.
He twitched his lips and said, "I just didn't get a good rest and the work pressure was a bit high... Well, let's talk about it later!"
"People are under a lot of work pressure these days, so seeing a psychiatrist is not a big deal."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about this topic for the time being, Xia Yu asked about the new script, "What type is the new drama?"
Tao Tang was visibly relieved, poured her a cup of tea, and asked with a smile, "Why, your ass hasn't been heated yet, and you can't sit still anymore?"
"Want to become a workaholic?"
He handed Yuan Bao a piece of dried meat, looked at the little guy squinting his eyes and humming, spreading his hands, "It's not impossible, the five hundred thousand yuan salary didn't even warm up, so he turned around and went out again. If we don't work, let's drink the northwest wind.
Ah, besides, you have been so busy these past few months, if I don’t work harder and become famous quickly, you will have to fall down from exhaustion.”
Xia Yu was not very interested in tea and didn't understand it. He blew it and took a sip, "It's quite fragrant."
Tao Tang went back to the house, took out the documents, and spread them out on the stone table.
"War movie, plot-oriented, about the period of the Jinling Massacre. Thirteen chivalrous and courageous prostitutes, in order to protect the flame of hope, sublimated in the disaster. Thirteen women who were usually regarded as despicable were dehumanized by the invaders.
In front of the butcher's knife, wearing a choir robe and carrying a sharp weapon, he took the place of the female students in the church to attend the Neon Man's Christmas celebration and went to a tragic appointment with death."
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling?"
Tao Tang was surprised, "Have you seen it?"
Xia Yu nodded, "It was so boring during that time. I found a lot of books to entertain myself, and this was one of them."
"You will understand better after reading the original work. This play has been prepared for two years. For this play, the director went to Jinling two years ago to select more than 30 students to train in Jinling dialect. Two years ago, I gave
The director recommended you and was planning to let you audition at that time, but unfortunately something happened. I had given up hope, but I met you again some time ago."
The sadness in her eyes flashed away.
"I told the director about your situation, and he finally agreed. He gave us three months. After three months, your Jinling dialect must be no less than the best among the students he selected.
, just give us a chance to audition."
"If the audition is successful, there will be ten months of training. Including the shooting time, it is expected to be completed in April or May of the next year, a full eighteen months. Up to now, are you still willing to take on this drama?
"
"So it turns out that Sister Tang was ready for me to settle down two years ago?" she laughed.
Xia Yu looked at Tao Tang's serious eyes and said, "Can I ask who the director is?"
Tao Tang: "Zhuang He, Director Zhuang."
Suddenly, Xia Yu's back straightened up involuntarily.
Even though she trusted Tao Tang extremely, she couldn't help but open the file. When she saw that the director column was indeed marked "Zhuang He", she was speechless.
Director Zhuang worked in the same agency as Cheng Zhiqing, but he was more aloof and could not be influenced by Cheng Zhiqing's words. Even if he wanted to cooperate, he had to see if there was a suitable role and try his best to get it, let alone recommend it to Xia Yu.
Besides, Xia Yu two years ago had nothing to do with Cheng Zhiqing.
So she was confused, "Are we related to Director Zhuang Da?"
Xia Yu just said it casually. Unexpectedly, Tao Tang actually nodded.
She pretended to be angry and said, "Director Zhuang served as the vice president of the Huaxia Drama Academy twenty years ago, and my brother was the last student he taught. This time, it was really a shameless relationship, so - you are not only
You can’t embarrass me, you have to earn my face back~"
This suddenly doubled Xia Yu's pressure. Tao Tang made it so clear, what was she weighing?
"Okay, I'll take it."
Not to mention the completion of "Drawing Ground", she urgently needs a new drama to take over.
Zhuang He, one of the three major directors in China, how could Xia Yu get such an opportunity, how could he be willing to miss it?
That is a top director on the same level as Xu Wei.
This top director has been out of business for several years. If "The Thirteen Beauties" hadn't been so strict in casting and required newcomers or young actors, if she had been a year or two older, she wouldn't even have had the chance to audition.
"If you have read the original work, you should know that there are many explicit scenes in it. The character of Zhao Yumo is completely opposite to the character of Qin Su in "The Misty and Rain of the Republic of China". It is even different from the character of Lin Dan. To put it harshly, she
In addition to being noble and arrogant, there is also a touch of vulgarity. Even at the end of the original work, her generosity and self-sacrifice vindicate her. For you, a single who only fell in love once and it didn't end well, you want to perform that kind of charming feeling.
, not easy!”
Xia Yu pursed his lips and said innocently, "Sister Tang, one thing is another thing, acting is acting, one's own feelings are one's own, one thing is another thing, it's immoral for you to deliberately suppress me with this matter! How about a single dog?
Yes, I’m happy!”
Tao Tang smiled, "Sure, it's settled. I've already made an appointment. I've also hired a teacher for you on February 28th next year. You'll have a day off and class will start the day after tomorrow."
Xia Yu poured a cup of tea for Tao Tang and laughed dumbly, "Sister Tang, haven't you already arranged this for me? Why don't you just ask me?"
Tao Tang drank tea and looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "I still have to give you some face, otherwise I will appear to be autocratic. Why, I think I'm too busy, okay, then I'll give it to you -"
Xia Yu said, "Hey, don't bother me, my good sister, I was wrong, please drink tea to calm down."
Tao Tang took a sip of tea. She never thought about pressuring Xia Yu to make a movie. She just knew Xia Yu. This movie was a new challenge for her. With the adapted script, she was very interested in Zhao Yumo.
This role will only make me more excited.
"Tsk--" Meng Dong, who had packed her things early, sat on another wicker chair, sorting out the Xia Yu itinerary sent to her by Tao Tang. Listening to the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but laugh.
Xia Yu was unhappy.
"Laughing! Hurry up and pack your things, go and serve the little ancestor, and then come back and take classes with me. Multiple skills, multiple ways out!"
What a righteous statement, do you have any point of view to refute it?
What does extreme joy bring about sorrow? This is it!
Meng Dong cried.
Woohoo, I heard that Jinling dialect is difficult to learn!
————Digression————
[I wanted to write a novel about the Republic of China or a spy novel. I wrote two of them, but they both felt very petty. I will change and choose one to include in the study course later!
Some things couldn't be covered, so I chose "Jinling Jinling" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" after thinking about it, and finally chose a drama with a group of heroines (I'm not sure whether it's the novel version or the movie version, I'm re-watching it now).
I don’t know if I will be criticized or criticized, because the controversy on the Internet is quite big!
In addition: the author is just a coder, and does not have that much talent to create original scripts. He will have a touch of film and television. I would like to apologize to everyone in advance and hope for your understanding~ There will be more and more original scripts or adaptations in the future.
This, don’t spray, spray lightly ao~]
Finally: I made a post about crowdfunding scripts in the comment area. If you have ideas, you can participate~ There is no way to do activities now. If you use the ideas, you will be rewarded for activities in the future~ Let’s use evidence as proof!
