It is very hard to shoot Lou Ye's movies, because they are all live-action shooting, and they also have to take into account that the on-site radio is not disturbed, so they often choose to shoot indoor scenes in the dead of night, and there are many night scenes, so they often start work at two or three o'clock in the afternoon and don't finish until three or four o'clock in the morning.

In the final analysis, there is no money to make trouble, if you have money, you can rent a studio in the film and television park, build the scene, and the indoor scenes can be done easily, without any interference.

Fortunately, after Zhou Xun joined the group, Li Tang was a little more relaxed, at least the director would not stare at him alone.

There are very few roles in "Suzhou River", in addition to him and Zhou Xun, there is Xiao Hong played by Ne An, Lao B played by Lou Ye's brother, and the bar owner with a cameo appearance by assistant director and liaison producer Yao Anlian.

In fact, Lou Ye's buddy only came to the crew to help at first, and he became the second male lead. This means that the serious actors of the entire crew are just him and Zhou Xun, and the other actors and crews have digested themselves and saved the actors' salaries as much as possible.

Xiao Hong played by Nai An is Mada's ex-girlfriend, and Lao B is Mada's underworld friend.

It is very interesting to say, the name of the character of Old B is likely to be written by Lou Ye casually, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that B is two, or what, in the context of Chinese, it is not a good word, it is a swear word, so the character of Old B is a bad person, the kind that is very bad.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

Yao Anlian parked the van on the side of the road, opened the door and took out a thermal foam box from inside, and shouted loudly upstairs.

The crew is small, and Lao Yao, in addition to the assistant director and external producer, also took the initiative to shoulder the work of drama and chores, and everyone recognized his work in food.

The crew's boxed lunch is said to have been ordered from a small window shop next to the Julu Road Writers Association. The so-called window shop is the kind that opens in the resident's house and opens a window on the street to sell.

This small window shop specializes in local dishes, braised pork ribs, braised pork, sauced eggs, and deep-fried hairtail...... The price is good, and the key taste is quite good.

"Is there yellow sauce or not, I want to eat yellow sauce." Zhou Xun was the first to pop out.

Just kidding, after being tortured by the director for an afternoon, she was already hungry with her chest and back.

"Yes, yes, I took special care of what was left, otherwise it would have been sold out long ago." Yao Anlian smiled, picked two lunch boxes and handed them to her.

Yellow sauce is a nickname for tofu coated meat in Shanghainese, and Zhou Xun didn't know it at first, thinking it was hot sauce and sauce like sauce. After tasting it, I found that the tofu coating was wrapped in fresh minced meat, and the rich and sweet sauce wrapped the tofu coating, which was particularly delicious, and I fell in love with it immediately.

"Hey, I'll give you half of the rice."

She eats little rice, mainly vegetables, and allocates most of the white rice in her lunch box to Li Tang.

"Wow, such fat meat!"

Li Tang's vegetable box is braised pork, and the fat is very thick.

"Braised pork is delicious, do you understand! This is the meat cooked in a large pot, the oil and water are boiled out, and it tastes not greasy at all, glutinous and fragrant. ”

"Really?"

"If you don't believe it, you taste it."

Li Tang smiled and handed over the vegetable box.

Zhou Xun hesitated for a while with chopsticks, and finally shook his head and pouted: "I don't eat, I can't eat when I look at it." ”

"If you don't eat it, forget it."

Li Tang mixed some broth into the rice, took a big bite of the fat braised pork, and ate it fragrantly.

After eating, Zhou Xun had eaten all the dishes over there, but he only ate a few bites of the small half box of rice.

"Hey, give me a cigarette."

Zhou Xun put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and stretched out two fingers to make a gesture of holding a cigarette at Li Tang.

"You don't?"

Li Tang reluctantly dug into his pocket.

"I'm done smoking, hurry up, don't be stingy!"

Li Tang took out the cigarette case, took one himself, and threw most of the box of cigarettes to her.

Zhou Xun smokes, and he is more addicted to smoking than him.

"Why do you always smoke outside, it's too rushed." She lit a three-five cigarette, took a puff and frowned.

Li Tang glanced at her and said, "My father used to sell foreign cigarettes, and he is used to smoking. ”

"Doesn't your family own a restaurant?"

"I'm talking about the past."

"And how old are you to start smoking?"

"Let's go to junior high school."

"Your dad won't beat you?"

"Secretly smoke!"

Li Tang remembered that when he was a child, Lao Li was busy making money at that time, and no one at home took care of him, so he let himself go, smoked secretly, and fooled around with the little hooligans on the street, which led to a plummeting grade.

Li Tang finished smoking, puffed out his cigarette, cleaned up the lunch box that the two of them ate, and stood up with some difficulty: "Yo, hold on, I have to move." ”

There is a large terrace on the north side of the room, close to the Suzhou Creek, and the night breeze in early summer is very comfortable on the face, but you can faintly smell the stench wafting from the river.

Li Tang walked around the balcony twice, and then stretched it one by one.

"Why do you have to exercise before filming every time?" Zhou Xun leaned against the door and smoked, which was already the second one.

"Exercise secretes endorphins and dopamine." Li Tang did a high kick.

"Uh, what do you mean?" Zhou Xun looked confused.

She seemed to have heard of dopamine, but she didn't know what endorphins were.

"Because both substances stimulate emotions and feelings, make people more relaxed, and warming up can also avoid injury." Li Tang explained briefly.

Well, he already knew that the little girl in front of him was not from a professional class and did not have a high level of education, as if she had studied art school for three years after graduating from junior high school.

It may be that there is a little girl watching from the side today, Li Tang on a whim, after doing stretching and warming up, actually played that set of Cai Li Buddha boxing.

He practiced this set of boxing for 20 years in his last life, and picked it up again after crossing, and he had already practiced it perfectly, and the routine was very good-looking.

Zhou Xun was stunned, his face was full of surprise and excitement: "It turns out that you can also do kung fu, it's amazing!" ”

"Awesome what?"

At this time, Ney came over with two pieces of paper and smiled.

"Sister Nai'an, Li Tang knows kung fu, he is very powerful, especially ...... It's very good-looking. Zhou Xun said excitedly.

"Do you know kung fu?"

Ney was surprised when she heard about it for the first time.

"It's just some martial arts routines, just fists and embroidered legs." Li Tang said.

"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier?" Ney suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Ney An said excitedly: "It's great that you know kung fu, it's popular to shoot martial arts scenes now, you are from a professional class, if you add kung fu, you will be popular, you know!" ”

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of martial arts scenes in "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin", when I went to film, I saw Teacher Zhang Fengyi and they were practicing every day." Zhou Xun jumped on the side.

"But my martial arts routine and real kung fu are two different things." Li Tang hesitated.

Naian didn't see Li Tang boxing, but as an agent, every feature of the actor is a selling point, and he said busily: "Filming is also fake, as long as you can make it look good." ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but giggle: "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the play for you, but now it's no problem, I'll ask my friends to inquire about it when I go back and see if there is a suitable martial arts scene." ”

Li Tang knew that Naian had been taking on dramas everywhere recently, not only to help him take on the plays, but also to take on the plays for himself.

Without him, the production budget of "Suzhou River" is stretched, and she, as a producer, can only subsidize the filming of the film by taking on the TV series.

In fact, Nai An is still very popular as an actor, and several TV series starring in the past few years have won the Best Actress Award at the "Asia-Pacific Chinese TV Festival" and the "Chunyan Award" hosted by Beijing TV.

Li Tang sometimes gets drunk when he thinks about it, Nai An can obviously make a lot of money by acting, so he has to help Lou Ye make movies in a hurry. As an agent, he also went out to film by himself, and he doubted whether it was right or wrong for him to choose this agent.

"Oh yes, this is for you, the director of the night scene has made some changes, you should hurry up and take a look." Ne Ann handed them both the two pieces of paper in his hand.
