Chapter 13 Suzhou Creek
Dare to love Lou Ye introduced his agent to himself. Although Ney Ann only mentioned the identity of his agent at the end, he introduced himself in detail earlier, obviously with sincerity.
Then she said very frankly that her dream art company, the brokerage business is only Lou Ye and herself. The implication may be that they are not particularly specialized, or that resources are limited.
It stands to reason that Naian is not the best choice in Li Tang's mind, but it is still the sentence "trust is the most important". Moreover, he is now a newcomer, with insufficient capital, and he does not need that kind of professional and resourceful large brokerage company for the time being. Even if you come to the door, people may not be able to look at you.
"Sister An, since everyone is their own person, it would be great, and I will leave the matter on my side to you in the future." Li Tang didn't think much about it and said directly.
"Thank you for trusting me, I will do my best in your affairs in the future." Ney laughed.
Dream Art Company is a small company, which has been deeply bound to Lou Ye from the beginning, and mainly focuses on production. The brokerage business is just piggybacking, but Li Tang has already won the role of the male number one in the gift film of Shanghai Film Studio, which shows that it is a potential stock, but the quality still needs to be tested.
Whether it's a gamble or selling Lou Ye to save face, Naian has no reason to refuse.
"Then I'll take the contract over and you can take a look at it first."
"Okay."
Of course, the contract has to be seen, and if Nell can't even figure out the brokerage contract with him, I'm afraid he won't be at ease.
Li Tang thought that the business was over, but the other party had no intention of leaving. Seeing Lou Ye's tired appearance, he asked more: "Brother Ye, you've been very busy lately, right?" ”
"I went to the capital and came back yesterday."
Brother Ye always has the ability to talk to death in one sentence.
Li Tang didn't know how to pick it up, so he only said secretly in his heart: No wonder it took so long to contact him.
At this time, Naian interjected: "Li Tang, when will the gift film you have in hand start now?" ”
"The sixteenth of this month."
February 16, the twentieth day of the first lunar month, is a good day for groundbreaking, building, opening, traveling, etc.
"Oh, that's coming, what about the shooting cycle?"
"The contract was signed for two months."
"It's almost mid-April."
Nai An nodded, looked at Lou Ye, and handed over a meaningful look, Lou Ye blinked, and their eyes met.
Li Tang noticed that the two of them frowned, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, you must know that Lou Ye has a girlfriend, and it is said that he is also a director, and they have already talked about marriage, what is the situation between these two people?
Fortunately, Lou Ye quickly shifted his gaze to himself, he moved his body forward, adjusted his sitting posture, and moved his lips, but he stopped talking.
Seeing this, Li Tang asked very interestingly, "Brother Ye, is there something?" ”
Lou Ye pursed his lips and said embarrassedly, "There is indeed something I want to ask you for help." ”
"What's the matter? I'll help if I can. Li Tang said.
"Uh......"
Maybe Nai An really didn't want Lou Ye to be so embarrassed, so he simply said to Li Tang: "Lou Ye is preparing a new movie recently, and I want to ask you to help play a role." ”
"Hey, Brother Ye, what can't you say about this."
Li Tang suddenly realized this, and at the same time said excitedly: "To be honest, Brother Ye, I really look forward to making your movie." ”
This is not a deliberate compliment, he does like Lou Ye's movies very much. Maybe he can't completely deconstruct all the other party's film language, and it is impossible to talk about the photography, art and other aspects of the film, but he feels that the actors are very relaxed in the other party's film, and it seems that there is an unprecedented freedom.
The fact that the actor is relaxed during the performance indicates that the actor enjoys the performance, and freedom is an extreme luxury for the actor. This is something that any actor has to be tempted about.
Lou Ye became very shy and said, "It's just that our budget is very limited......"
“……”
Li Tang was stunned when he heard this, why did it sound like the rhythm of prostitution?
Ney on the side also apologized at this time: "Li Tang, the budget this time is indeed very limited, and it may not be as good as you expected in terms of salary, I hope you can understand." ”
Oh, it turned out that it wasn't a prostitute for nothing.
Li Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It stands to reason that the Lou family has helped him a lot, and the two most important turning points in his life, school entrance examination and work, are not too much of a great kindness.
Lou Ye asked him to film, even if it was a white prostitute, it should be. But since his last life, he has his own principles, money can be less, but he must not prostitute in vain.
"It's okay! Brother Ye, Sister An, you have the final say. He hurriedly laughed.
Nai An also laughed and said: "It seems that my agent is very incompetent, and the first drama I helped you take over made you suffer." ”
"To be able to be in Brother Ye's movie, even if it is a dollar, I am happy."
Yes, as long as one dollar is not considered a prostitute.
"Brother Ye, what role am I playing, can I read the script first?"
"No, you can't see anything!"
This time, Lou Ye's answer was surprisingly crisp.
Li Tang looked stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”
"Before filming, I wanted the actor to be unknown."
There was no way to talk anymore, and the two of them stared at each other for a while.
Li Tang was very puzzled, because in his two lifetimes, acting started from the script, understanding, experience, character biography and other desk work, but he had never heard of an actor who couldn't read the script before acting, and didn't know what role he was going to play.
Lou Ye also looked at Li Tang, he was very familiar with the person in front of him, he almost grew up watching it, but he was unfamiliar with actor Li Tang.
His previous two films starred in popular big stars, and in his words at the time: these actors could go to any director's scene if they wanted to.
And these big stars chose to mix with him, who was unknown at the time.
At that time, he said these words with pride, confidence, and high spirits. Think of yourself as artistically recognized by these big stars.
Time has passed, and when he was ready to pick up the guide tube again, the first thing he wanted to find was the former star who had cooperated with him in the first place. Despite the fact that the star has long since passed away, he likes him very much and considers him a talented actor.
But this trip to the capital disappointed him very much, and the outdated star had long been decadent, and even became addicted. The literary stars who were once irreplaceable in his mind have fallen, from angels to devils.
Then he remembered the back of the man who was shuttling through the traffic on a motorcycle, of course, Li Tang became the leading actor of the Shanghai Film Studio's gift film, and he did not deny that this child had something, but he was still very hesitant.
To this day, Ney'an's words made him make up his mind.
How much money you have, how much you can do.
Yes, art is expensive, and film art is exceptionally expensive.
At this time, he suddenly remembered the girl who was sitting in the back seat of the motorcycle that day, and heard Li Tang say that she was also an actor. But soon he shook his head and denied his idea.
Too ripe, not good.
He hopes that the hero and heroine will be the same as in the play, and everything starts from strangeness.
Of course, Li Tang couldn't know what Lou Ye was thinking, and it was difficult to understand the other party's strange brain circuits, so he still couldn't hold back before leaving, and asked, "Brother Ye, what's the name of this play?" ”
Lou Ye pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "Suzhou Creek." ”
