"Have you recorded it?" Cheng Xiaodong asked loudly.
"All recorded, Director Cheng." Someone in the crowd agreed.
When Li Tangxun looked at him, he was indeed a friend holding a mini camera and was filming there. He guessed that he was taking some of the latest videos of the preparations, but he didn't say it in advance, otherwise he might be more handsome.
Cheng Xiaodong was a little eager to try, but when he thought of the terrifying power of Li Tang's last shot, he would just forget it. He was old arms and legs, and it was not worth it to be injured without any attention. He regretted that he didn't bring a martial arts brother next to him this time.
Otherwise, you can try a few tricks with Li Tang.
As for Director Zhang, his face full of pleated face was filled with a simple smile. He even whispered a few words to Zhang Weiping before saying to Cheng Xiaodong: "Director Cheng, is there no problem?"
Cheng Xiaodong hurriedly said, "It must be no problem."
Director Zhang knew it and waved Li Tang over and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, thank you for your hard work. I originally wanted to have a good chat with you today, but Teacher Hetian suddenly came here today... But it doesn't matter, we have seen everything we should see.
, I will notify you as soon as possible when there is a result."
Li Tang knew that he had basically passed the test. A big production like "Hero" is not as if it were a producer-responsible system like Hollywood. The director's opinions were only references, and the producer finally had to make a decision. But important roles must be discussed.
Even in form.
"Thank you, director."
He nodded repeatedly, then asked, "Director, when will our play start?"
Zhang Yimou thought about it and said, "I guess it's around the middle of the year. Is there any conflict with your schedule?"
"No, no. Director, then I'll wait for your call."
Li Tang was very satisfied with Zhang Yimou's attitude towards him and his current preparation of "The Third Man".
Then, he said goodbye to all the big guys present.
The old lady Hotan held his hand at the end and said specifically: "Li Sang, I hope there is a chance to cooperate."
"Thank you, Senior Hoda, goodbye."
Li Tang bowed to the old lady in a Japanese way to her kindness.
The old lady also quickly bowed and returned the gift.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou beside him muttered in a low voice: "Who Tian Huimei won't fall in love with this young man Li Tang, right?"
Director Zhang looked at his old partner in surprise, then rolled his eyes and turned his head aside.
After Director Zhang finished talking with the Japanese old lady, several people sat down to discuss. Cheng Xiaodong worked for money as an action guide and his opinions were used as a reference.
Although Hong Kong people have always been in a group, Li Tang's performance is obvious to all, and he will not talk lies with his eyes open.
"Li Tang has a good shooting skills, Danny is the action guide."
He did not belittle Li Tang in a word, and also said that Donnie Yen, who is an action guide, could do it too.
Since the action strength is balanced, Li Tang must have won the acting skills, he is a professional, winner of the Huabiao Award for Film Newcomer Award, and was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor Award. I didn’t even try the show, which shows my trust in Li Tang’s acting skills.
.
Then there is the economic calculation. Although "Hero" invested 30 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 250 million RMB, it seems to be quite large, but don't forget that Li Lianjie's salary alone accounts for one tenth.
Three million US dollars! This is the friendship price of Li Lianjie for Director Zhang’s face. You should know that his pay in Hollywood has reached nine million US dollars.
Next is Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu's salary of one million US dollars each, and Zhang Ziyi's price is 2 million RMB even if it is a friendly price. After "Jingwumen", Donnie Yen's salary increased to 5 million Hong Kong dollars. According to now
The exchange rate is more than five million yuan.
I have to say that the pay gap between mainland actors and Hong Kong and Taiwan stars these days is very big. Both Cannes movie heroes, Mr. Ge’s pay may not be only one-third of that of Liang Chaowei. Zhang Ziyi’s quotation of 3 million yuan has been
It is the ceiling of mainland actors' pay.
So how much is Li Tang’s salary? 300,000 or 400,000, even if it is 500,000, it is only one-tenth of Zhen Zi’s salary.
What's more, Li Tang's popularity in the mainland is now enough to surpass Donnie Yen, who is at the top of the first line and the second line in the Hong Kong circle.
After putting it out one by one, Young Master Jiang could only pinch his nose and accept it.
Director Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had the final decision as the director, to be honest, he was not very willing to offend others.
As soon as Li Tang drove a little Toyota back to the yard, his ex-girlfriend couldn't wait to ask: "How is it, what kind of drama?"
"I just let me demonstrate a set of marksmanship. It seems that Director Zhang is quite satisfied and asked me to wait for the news. I didn't say what the specific scene was, but it must be a martial arts scene."
Directors of Zhang Yimou's level have too much attention from the outside world, especially when the last movie "Happy Time" was widely rated as "the talent of the people" by the outside world. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, concentrate on creating and related
Everything about the new movie is kept confidential. Even audition actors like Li Tang are kept confidential before the contract is signed. But if they are kept confidential, there will always be some rumors.
"I kept saying that Director Zhang wanted to make a martial arts blockbuster, so it turned out to be true!"
My ex-girlfriend looked full of longing and then said, "So, you have a good chance this time?"
"Yeah, probably it's right."
Looking at Li Tang's confident look, her ex-girlfriend was envious and she was inevitably a little complicated. As Li Tang's development became better and better, she regretted her original choice more and more.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world. All she can do now is to cherish the present, so she took Li Tang's arm and said softly: "Then how many days can you stay this time?"
Looking down at his ex-girlfriend's big eyes full of expectation, Li Tang hesitated and said, "Ming...uh, let's go the day after tomorrow."
The direct consequence of using a box of convex threaded thermally installed in two days is that Li Tang's feet were still floating when boarding the plane.
Two hours later, the plane landed.
Zeng Jia, who came to pick him up, was startled when he saw his tired face and his eyes were like pandas. He was shocked, and he inevitably had a bad association.
"Brother Li, are you okay?"
"fine."
Li Tang yawned and covered up, "Maybe he hasn't had a good sleep these two days, so I'll take me home first."
"good."
When walking out, Zeng Jia deliberately slowed down and walked behind Li Tang. After careful observation, he confirmed that his walking posture was normal and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Jia Jia…”
As the cooperation took over, Li Tang gradually recognized Zeng Jia's ability, and his name changed from "Xiao Zeng" to "Jia Jia".
Li Tang turned his head and didn't see Zeng Jia. When he turned around, he found that she was actually behind and staring behind him. He couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay."
Zeng Jia hurriedly took a few steps and said guiltily: "I'm just thinking about something, but I'm distracted."
"Is something wrong with the crew?"
"No, nothing happened, everything is normal." Zeng Jia hurriedly said.
Li Tang had wanted to ask about the crew's situation in the past few days when he was not here. When he heard Zeng Jia say this, he felt relieved. He couldn't help but yawn and urged, "Go away quickly."
The driver was waiting outside in a newly bought Jinbei van that the crew had. The car was indispensable for filming. He originally wanted to rent one, but Li Tang considered that the little Changan driving at home was about to be scrapped, so he bought one.
It's not expensive, and the landing price is similar to that of Xu's small Saio.
The cost of buying a car can be included in the production cost, and then sell it to your own restaurant at a low price.
After getting on the bus, Zeng Jiacai had the opportunity to ask: "Brother Li, how did Director Zhang talk to you this time?"
"It's okay, Director Zhang is going to make a new movie, so I'll try it... Oh, please pay attention during this period. Director Zhang will notify you whenever there is any news. I'll leave your business card.
.”
When Zeng Jia heard this, she was surprised and said, "Is that true?"
"I didn't give a definite answer, but I should be sure, otherwise I wouldn't leave your business card." Li Tang said.
As long as the interview is passed, the next thing is the matter between the agent and the producer, and the actors and directors generally do not participate in it in person.
In addition to being surprised, Zeng Jia asked again: "Does there be any conflict with our current drama at that time?"
"It shouldn't be true. Director Zhang will not start until mid-year. When you look back, you will also urge Director Cheng, and we should try to get faster."
"Yeah, I get it."
After leaving nothing, Li Tang returned to the old apartment of Wuyuan Road. After taking a shower, he fell asleep. He didn't even eat supper and slept until the morning of the next day.
I got up and ran around, and felt that my physical strength was seriously insufficient, but fortunately I recovered a lot.
...
"Brother Li, congratulations!"
When he came to Shanghai Film Studio in the morning, Cheng Er, who had always been taciturn, was the first to congratulate him.
Li Tang waved his hand and said modestly: "The eight characters are not yet written yet. Everything is not counted before the contract is signed."
Fortunately, Cheng Er has never talked much nonsense and took the initiative to report: "Brother Li, the outdoor scene has been almost completed now. It is Xiao Ke's scenery at home. I plan to rent a studio to take pictures."
Xiao Ke's home has almost one-third of the shots. If the real scene is taken, it may be limited to the site being unavailable, and on the other hand, it is also afraid of disturbing the people. The best way is to set up the scene, but this involves the budget.
.
Small business operations require careful calculations. In addition to the outdoor location, such as Lin Mo's home, he chose Cheng'er's apartment in Xinzhuang, while He Wei and Xiao Feng's home are Li Tang's home in the city. Fortunately, these two places are
Not many shots.
Li Tang was prepared for this and asked, "How much budget is needed?"
"About 150,000."
Cheng Er thought about it and gave a conservative number.
"Don't let it be 150,000, just think it's 200,000."
There are inevitably bumps and bumps during shooting, and there are various unexpected situations. It is best to relax the budget to avoid being too short of time.
Shooting on the scene is actually also beneficial, that is, it is not disturbed and can create with peace of mind. You can shoot day and night when necessary, saving time.
After all, as soon as the filming is turned on, the entire crew will have money for 50 or 60 people, eating, drinking, defecating, and equipment. If you can turn off the computer one day early, you can save a day of money.
The first update! There are too many things to do during the day these two days, so the update may be a little later. The second update is before twelve o'clock.
