After getting off the highway, you have to pass through the HZ city. Today, Hangzhou is not the HZ city in more than 20 years later, the roads are narrow, the traffic is very chaotic, and the speed inevitably drops.
Naian held the steering wheel with one hand, followed the car in front of him slowly, and said casually: "Have you read the script?"
"Look."
Li Tang not only read the script, but also read the original novel.
But the adaptation of this script is very powerful and is not the same as the original work.
Compared to the casual words in Gu Long's novels, he still prefers Jin Yong's works, such as "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "The Deer and the Cauldron". Once he gets it, he can't put it down.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he reads the script or not. The character he plays is a marginal character and cannot play any work that brings back the past and the future. At most it will add glory to the protagonist.
Perhaps because he felt that Li Tang's tone was a little perfunctory, Naian comforted: "Don't be anxious now, just film the movie peacefully first, wait until the work comes out, and you will have a better chance when you see your strength."
Li Tang heard that Naian had misunderstood and smiled and said, "Sister An, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, I just feel that there is no challenge to this character."
"Don't underestimate whether there are any challenges. Now you need to accumulate popularity. You can make a good face with soy sauce and make money, so why not do it!"
Li Tang knew that Naian's words were instructive, so he curled his smile and said seriously: "I understand, Sister An."
Seeing him looking serious, Naian smiled and said, "Just say that, you know what you know. As an actor, after all, he still speaks by acting skills. I don't worry about you at all."
After saying that, Naian naturally jumped away from the topic and said, "By the way, when will the "Shanghai Chronicle" you filmed be released?"
"Nine next month."
"It's been a few days. Then I'll find a few reporters to help you carry the sedan chair."
It was the end of March, and it was less than two weeks before April 9th.
In the past, the production system of state-owned large factories still continues the planned economy model. New films are released, except for printing a few movie posters, there is no publicity. Moreover, box office statistics are very incomplete, most of them are still selling copies, only
Some big cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou have just begun to implement pilot reform of the theater system.
However, Naian's thinking is quite advanced. The so-called carrying a sedan chair is tone-sounding, hype and flattery.
Li Tang felt a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said, "If Sister An needs to spend money, just speak up."
According to his thinking in his previous life, it costs money to ask reporters to write soft articles, hype and flatter.
As a result, Naian shook his head and said, "What money is spent? They are all friends. As long as your performance in the movie is not bad, everything will be easy."
Well, reporters these days still need face, at least they won’t brag.
Then Naian smiled and said, "I think there will be no problem with your performance. Moreover, if you are famous, it is also a great thing for "Suzhou River".
Speaking of "Suzhou River", Li Tang couldn't help but ask: "Sister An, how is "Suzhou River" doing?"
Since Lou Ye took the initiative to contact him and introduce Cheng Er last time, the two have never contacted each other again. As for asking Li Tang to call Lou Ye on his own initiative, unless something is wrong, he will be embarrassed and Lou Ye will be embarrassed too.
The two of them had nothing to say with their phones, and Lou Ye was very polite. If you don’t hang up, he would never hang up first and could carry it for an hour.
"All the materials that should be taken have been taken, and the rest is to cut the movies and do the later stages. It is estimated that it will be almost done by the second half of the year." Naian said.
"Can it be released?" Li Tang asked expectantly.
After all, Lou Ye’s previous two movies could only be screened in midnight.
"It should be possible."
When Naian said this, her face showed confusion. As an investor, she certainly hoped that the movie could be released normally, but when she thought of Lou Ye, she really didn't support her.
But she immediately said: "It's okay, there are several film festivals in Europe that can be attended by the end of the year."
In fact, although Lou Ye’s previous two movies cannot be released normally in China, because of their lack of investment, they have won awards and sold several overseas copyrights abroad. It cannot be said that they have made a lot of money, at least they have a slight surplus.
This is also the reason why Naian dares to invest.
For example, the film "Xiao Wu" by Chief Jia, who won the award at the Berlin Film Festival last year, only invested hundreds of thousands of yuan, but sold overseas copyrights for millions, which means that it is really making a fortune.
Of course, it would be better if it could be released in China. In addition to having an extra box office revenue and a more stable investment, it would also be able to become a director in China and allow actors to get more exposure opportunities.
When I passed by Dongyang at noon, I parked the car and had a simple lunch. Li Tang looked at this place with a dark look, and he had been to Hangzhou in his previous life.
Twenty years later, Hangzhou is very prosperous, with tall buildings everywhere in Daxia. Unlike now, Zhijiang Road is still on the edge of the city, and across the Qiantang River, the other side is even more deserted.
The fried noodles in Dongyang are very good, and there is also a dish of mung tofu he has never seen before.
"Let's go straight to the set."
It took about 20 minutes to drive from Dongyang to Hengdian. When it was almost time to arrive, Naian called Director Lu.
Director Lu is the director of the Beijing TV Art Center, and his representative work is the famous "Desire". Naian has a deep relationship with the Beijing TV Art Center, and it was through Director Lu that he helped Li Tang take on this job.
The filming scene of "Little Li Flying Knife".
"I don't like this person, so I can kill him!" Fan Xiaopang said domineeringly.
She and Yu Feihong sat side by side at a table. Compared to Yu Feihong, who was calm, she had many small movements. She shook her head and braided her hair, which made Lu Xiaowei frowned.
"stop!"
"Bingbing, don't do that much."
"I get it, the director is sorry!"
Xiaopang had a good attitude, so he quickly raised his hand to apologize, and then apologized to the male protagonist Jiao Enjun: "Brother Jun, please trouble you."
Jiao Enjun waved his hand generously, indicating that he would not mind.
The two of them belong to the same company, Jiao Enjun is the male lead, so Fan Xiaopang got a supporting role, to put it bluntly, it is a matchmaker. The little girl is young and has a young acting skills. As the eldest brother of the company, Jiao Enjun naturally has to take care of her little sister.
What's more, the two of them are fellow villagers in Shandong.
Jiao Enjun was generous, but a hint of mockery flashed on Yu Feihong's face sitting beside her. As the second female lead in the play, she was not satisfied with Fan Xiaopang, who played her maid.
On the one hand, she was a teacher from the performance department of Beijing Film Academy and looked down on Fan Xiaopang's acting skills, or Fan Xiaopang's acting skills are not considered acting skills at all, and she knows that she can shake her head and steal the scene all day long.
But the most important point is that what she felt most unhappy was that Fan Xiaopang was so beautiful! Although she was unwilling to admit it, the facts were obvious that Fan Xiaopang's delicate facial features were particularly white. The two of them stood together, the difference was that the difference was
It's obvious.
Yu Feihong felt that the only thing he could beat the other party was probably the so-called temperament.
"Start again!"
Lu Xiaowei didn't say much nonsense, and waved his hand to signal everyone to prepare.
At this time, a staff member came in and whispered a few words in Lu Xiaowei's ear. Lu Xiaowei hesitated for a moment, then stood up, patted his hands and said, "In this way, everyone will rest for twenty minutes."
After saying that, he walked out of the studio with the staff member.
