The next day, Li Qian came to the People's Art Capital Theater.
The national tour of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land" came to the capital in a roundabout way, and Li Qian came to see Lu Entai and run some errands.
This play has been running all over the country since its premiere in November last year. With its current reputation, it is estimated that it will be another classic that can be performed for another two or three years.
When Li Qian arrived, they seemed to have just finished arranging and were resting.
"Brother Tai."
Li Qian stepped forward and said hello.
"coming."
Lu Entai waved to Li Qian and introduced Huang Lei and the others with a smile.
"This is the Li Qian I told you about before, the director of "Phone Booth" and "Jaws."
"Li Qian, this is Teacher Huang Lei, who is also from Hongzhou."
"Hello, Teacher Huang, hello, Teacher He"
Li Qian also said hello one by one.
"You are Li Qian. Your "Jaws" shocked me. It was so well shot."
Huang Lei smiled enthusiastically and said, "He is great at making movies and he is so handsome."
Any industry has its own geographical circles, and the entertainment industry is no exception. When you meet fellow workers, you will feel much more friendly.
Li Qian said quickly, "Teacher Huang, you were an idol of a generation and the dream lover of thousands of girls."
"Hi."
Huang Lei waved his hand, "I'm older now."
"By the way, you have something to do with Lao Lu, right? If you need any help, just let me know."
Huang Lei is also a very enthusiastic person. It is rare to see a fellow villager and he takes the initiative to ask if he wants to help.
"By the way, I want to ask Brother Chao how to contact him. Isn't he having a falling out with his agency now? I don't know whether to contact Oriental Pearl or Huayang, so I'll ask Brother Tai."
Li Qian revealed his intention. Currently, Deng Chao's management contract is still with the Oriental Pearl Tower in eastern Guangdong, but it is already certain that he will join Huayang. After all, they also gave him an important role of Li in "Assembly", so there is no way he will not go.
.
Moreover, the conflict between Deng Chao and Oriental Pearl cannot be reconciled. The agent left his job half a year ago. It seems that Deng Chao has not found a new agent yet.
"Deng Chao, he is filming his teacher's TV series. Where is he filming?"
Lu Entai thought for a while, took out his cell phone, and reported Deng Chao's phone number to Li Qian.
Next to him, Huang Lei interjected, "That's the one, "The Difficult Love of Diamonds" seems to be called that, and it was filmed in Dalian."
"Dalian is not far away either."
Li Qian smiled and said, "I am about to start preparations for my new movie, and I plan to find Brother Chao to play the leading role."
Lu Entai asked curiously, "Are you ready? What type of filming will you do this time?"
Huang Lei also became interested. There were too few fellows from Jiangnan in the entertainment industry, and even fewer from Hongzhou. Apart from him, Lu Entai, Deng Chao, director Gao Xixi, and Liu Tao, it was rare to have another fellow come here.
"It's a suspense crime movie, with a bit of science fiction, and it mainly talks about the relationship between father and son." Li Qian simply said it, but he couldn't explain it in detail for a while.
"sci-fi movie?"
The two of them became more and more interested, including He Jiong, Tian Yu and others next to them, who were also staring at Li Qian.
"Actually, it has nothing to do with science fiction. It's just covered in a science fiction veneer. The two father and son teamed up to adapt the story of destiny across twenty years," Li Qian said.
Although they were very curious, they didn't ask any more questions. In this industry, scripts cannot be given to others casually.
Even actors often don't get a complete script.
After chatting for a while, it was almost noon, and Li Qian offered to treat them to a meal.
They were all acquaintances, and we became acquainted with each other as we chatted, and no one refused.
However, the heroine Yuan Quan was not there, saying that her new album was released and she was doing a book signing in Wangfujing.
A good actor who doesn’t go into filming to sing
In the afternoon, Li Qian flew directly to Dalian and found Deng Chao, who was filming "The Difficult Love of Diamond Kings".
The director of this play was Deng Chao’s teacher and was Gong Li’s classmate back then.
"Hello Brother Chao, long time no see."
"????"
Deng Chao, who was just about to say hello, looked confused and looked at Li Qian carefully. He didn't recognize him.
At noon, he received a call from Lu Entai, saying that Li Qian wanted to film with him and he was a fellow countryman.
Deng Chao had also heard about Li Qian, and it was said that Huayang had tried to win over him before, but was rejected.
After staring at Li Qian carefully and confirming again and again that he really didn't know him, Deng Chaocai asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"do we know each other?"
"It must have been more than ten years."
Deng Chao was even more confused by this. How old was Li Qian more than ten years ago?
Could it be some neighbor from childhood?
However, I didn't think of any neighbors named Li.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Yuying School, the elementary school where I studied. Brother Chao, you were in junior high school at the time, and you were a famous figure in the school."
"You also studied at Yuying?"
Deng Chao suddenly realized, and then remembered his heroic deeds back then, and felt a little embarrassed again.
"I went to Yuying for elementary and junior high school, but it seems that Brother Chao graduated from junior high school when I was in the third grade."
Back then in school, Deng Chao was the dominant figure on campus and a real man of the hour.
Ear piercing, hair dyeing, gang fights on campus, it's all good.
In the entire school, from the first grade to the third grade, no one knew that there was such a person.
A bad student in the eyes of the principal and teacher was almost expelled once.
However, her mother never gave up on him. The time she was almost expelled, she rushed to the classroom and angrily yelled at the teacher that her son was a good boy and not a member of society.
Since then, things have changed a bit.
Li Qian had seen him many times in school when he was a child. After all, he was so popular.
At that time, he also had movies and TV series starring Deng Chao in his mind, but Deng Chao was thirteen or fourteen years old at the time and didn't recognize them.
Li Qian also brought up this past event sensibly, and talked about some interesting things in school back then, as well as familiar teachers.
The class teacher in the Deng Dynasty was Li Qian’s later political teacher, and we were quite emotional when we talked about it.
However, I heard that when he was studying in a technical secondary school at Jiangnan Art Vocational College, Deng Chao met a good teacher and changed completely.
This reminded Li Qian of the movie "Galaxy Tutorial" starring Deng Chao in his memory.
In it, the father he plays rushes into school to defend his child, which is very similar to when Deng Chao's mother rushed into the classroom and told the teacher that he was a good boy.
Sure enough, art mostly comes from life.
After chatting for a while, Li Qian also explained his purpose of coming.
"Brother Chao, I'm here this time to find you to play the leading role in my new film. You are the son of a father and son. Please read the script first."
With that said, Li Qian took out the script from his bag and handed it over.
"Let me see."
Deng Chao took the script and smiled, "I have watched your previous films "Phone Booth" and "Jaws", and they were really good. I didn't expect that we are still from the same hometown."
Even excluding the factor of fellow countrymen, Deng Chao was also very interested in the director who Huayang wanted to win over and Huang Zhonglei personally invited.
(Please vote for recommendation.)
(I still vaguely remember that the political teacher always kept the star who taught the Deng Dynasty at the forefront every day for how many years.)
