Li Tang sent Cheng Er downstairs to his house and said to Cheng Er, who was still confused and undigested: "Okay, go home and catch up on the jet lag. If you have anything else to do, wait until you wake up."
Cheng Er swallowed his saliva and didn't know what to say for a moment. It took him a long time to burst out: "Uh, Brother Li, would you like to come up and sit down?"
When he first started working the year before last, he bought this 70-square-meter house near the Xinzhuang subway entrance. The price at that time was less than 3,000. It has increased a bit in the past two years, to about 3,500. Originally, he
I still thought that if I really ran out of money to make a movie, I would sell the house, but now with Li Tang's words, "I invested this money," all the problems were solved.
He didn't know what to say at all. Only at this moment did he truly understand the meaning of "a big favor without saying thanks". It seemed that any words were empty and could not express his gratitude to Li Tang at this time.
Affection.
"Forget it, I won't disturb your rest, I have to return the car." Li Tang shook his head and declined his invitation.
If it was a beautiful girl's invitation, maybe he would gladly accept it. What's the point of two gentlemen sitting there, but fighting with bayonets?
After leaving Cheng Er's community, I found a car wash stall to wash the car, and then went to fill up the gas. Since you have borrowed someone else's car, no matter how good the relationship is, you must have a basic attitude.
He drove back to his work and gave the car back to Bald Xu.
"Hey, ah, I thought I would come back tomorrow morning."
"Boss, what are your plans recently?"
Bald Xu was very smart and said with a smile: "How can I? Is there any good organization to take care of me?"
"Are you talking about cutting when you have time?"
"Are you free or not? What do you want to see?" This guy actually put on airs.
If it wasn't enough, he immediately said: "The hospital plans to rearrange "Shang Yang" and start performing it in June. Do you think I have the time to do it?"
The Drama Center was formed by the merger of the Shanghai People's Art Theater and the Youth Drama Troupe. People like Xu Guangtou who came from an artistic background are still accustomed to calling the center the courtyard to show its legitimacy.
"Shang Yang" is a classic traditional drama produced by the Drama Center. It is similar in nature to "Teahouse" by Beijing People's Performing Arts. It is re-performed every few years and is very popular.
Bald Xu is currently the best choice for the second male lead Zhu Huan in "Shang Yang", and he has already participated in the second rearrangement performance before.
"That's not a big problem. I've made a movie here and I have a second male lead. I can help with it."
When he heard that it was a movie, Xu Guangtou's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he had participated in the filming of several movies before, they were all in the role of a minor player. Even though he had already acted in two popular TV series with male leads, for an actor
It is said that the big screen is the biggest yearning.
"What movie? Where's the script... Hey, are you talking about movies?"
Despite the excitement, Bald Xu was a little bit in hindsight.
Li Tang explained: "Cheng Er made a script, and this time I got funding from the HBF Fund of the Rotterdam International Film Festival. If we don't film, the funding from this fund will be wasted, so I invested a little, which can be regarded as bringing money into the group."
Bar."
Although he said it lightly, Bald Xu knew the risks very well and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are so brave, how much did you invest?"
"Several hundred thousand. Cheng Eryi also has some money at home, so let's chip in together."
As he said that, Li Tang said with a smile: "So now I want to save as much as I can. Please help me with my boss. As for the remuneration, if you show some interest, will it be easy?"
"After all, it's a big business, and it's very tricky!"
Bald Xu gave a thumbs up, nodded and said, "It's okay to help, but you need to show me the script first."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements in the next two days, and I'll just meet the director Cheng Er."
"Well, let's call Chenguang."
Watching Li Tang leave, Xu Guangtou felt a little mixed in his heart, with envy and jealousy in his eyes. He always thought that he, his younger brother, was lucky, but he didn't expect that a red guy with such a bold personality would dare to invest.
Movie.
It is said that acting is a passive profession, and whether you can find a good role depends entirely on luck. Unexpectedly, my junior brother actually bravely took this step and learned to make his own decisions.
After standing there for a moment, he smiled to himself. After doing this for a long time, he was only envious, but not jealous. He had neither the financial resources nor the courage.
…
Before the Chinese New Year, Lao Li specially brought a group of old ladies from the shop to clean the old apartment on Wuyuan Road thoroughly inside and out. More than half a month later, it is still very clean.
The main reason is that during the Spring Festival until now, the weather has been bad, and it rains non-stop. The advantage of rain is that there is less dust in the air, so it is less likely to accumulate dust at home.
Li Tang sat at the desk in front of the window, opening his notebook and recording various preparations. As the largest investor, he did not want to rely on others for everything. After all, this industry was too deep, and he would be tricked if he was not careful.
There is no direction.
But halfway through writing, he couldn't continue because it was too complicated. If he really wanted to care about everything, he might as well stop acting and focus on being a producer.
At this time, Li Tang was particularly envious of Lou Ye. As a director, he was a hands-off boss, leaving all other things to Nai'an except filming. It was with Nai'an as his great butler that he could create without distraction.
And what about my own Naian?
In desperation, Li Tang could only call Zeng Jia.
Zeng Jia was very happy and said she would come over tomorrow, and Nai'an had already greeted her before.
Photographer Wang Yu didn't have much of a problem, because when Li Tang went to his place to pay New Year's greetings two years ago, Wang Yu was still worried that he wouldn't have any big work in the first half of this year, and might have to shoot an advertising MV or something. Li Tang's phone call was like
Timely spring rain.
As for the actors, Baldy Xu basically has no problem, and now only the heroine Xiao Ke and sister Xiao Feng are left. Xiao Feng's role is very small, it is a guest appearance, and it can be filmed in three or four days at most.
.
It was easy to negotiate with Jiang Qinqin. They were close friends who had been talking on the phone for a long time. When they learned that this movie was actually invested by Li Tang, Jiang Qinqin was surprised and graciously said that she would not be paid for the film and would make a friendly guest appearance. When the time came, he would treat him to a meal.
Just a meal.
On the contrary, there was some hesitation in choosing Li Tang over Xiao Ke. Originally, Fan Xiaopang was of the right age, and given the relationship between the two, they might be able to engage in prostitution for free, but...
Xiao Ke, a brain tumor patient with ambivalence, is suspicious, sensitive, and paranoid. This kind of role requires an indifferent expression, cold dialogue, and at the same time extremely explosive power. Because of this, the performance was too exaggerated and the performance was
Anything less means facial paralysis.
He was worried that Xiaopang might not be able to handle such a role with his current acting skills.
In fact, there are not many candidates. For example, Zhang Ziyi, whose fierce expression in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is undoubtedly the best candidate in Li Tang's mind. Unfortunately, I can only think about it, which is not realistic at all. She has already stepped out.
China is involved in Hollywood. It is said that she is currently filming "Rush Hour 2" with Brother Cheng Long.
There is also Yuan Quan. This girl’s acting skills are nothing to say. Unfortunately, she has been getting lots of film appointments since she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress. Before the Spring Festival, he heard from Xia Yu that this girl has taken on three TV series this year, so she must have no schedule.
, and it is estimated that the remuneration will not be less.
After thinking about it, Li Tang still called Xiaopang, but no one answered the phone.
Li Tang sketched on the paper and wrote down the actresses he knew. It stands to reason that there are many actresses who have worked with him, such as Wang Yan, Miao Yiyi, Chen Lifeng, Ma Xiaoqin, etc. In comparison, Ma Xiaoqin is neurotic.
Xi's was a good candidate, but when I thought about the person behind her, I thought about it and gave it up.
At this time, Xiaopang's phone call came.
"What are you doing, missing me?"
"Well, I have something to ask you."
"What's going on? I was talking to someone just now with Sister Hong, and my phone was muted." Xiaopang explained by the way.
Although Li Tang didn't ask, Xiaopang's explanation made him feel a lot more comfortable. It was this kind of mentality that made him throw away the last trace of hesitation in his heart and said: "Well, I have a movie here, and I need a girl.
main character……"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Xiaopang exclaiming on the other end of the phone: "Movie! Heroine! Real or fake?"
Second update, the number of words is a little short, I will make up for it tomorrow.
