"It turns out that you are Li Tang, hello! Hello! ”

"Director Shaohong, hello!"

Last time, Li Tang and his classmates came to Beijing for an audition and didn't see director Li Shaohong, but the assistant director sent them away. Today is the first time we have met.

"I've heard Xiao Zhou talk about you a long time ago, and said that your play is very good!"

"Director Shaohong, I've won the award."

"Gee, this time it's not a coincidence. When Xiao Zhou told me about you, the roles on my side had already been arranged, which was really ...... I'm sorry! Li Shaohong looked regretful.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's me who was too presumptuous."

"It's good if you can understand, and we will definitely cooperate if we have the opportunity in the future."

"Thank you, Director Shaohong."

Although Li Shaohong is very enthusiastic, her eyes behind the lenses are always very flat, revealing a condescending sense of distance.

Of course, Li Tang knows that he is a disciple of a big courtyard, and he is a nobleman in the banner in the past, and he has already achieved fame in the circle, with countless connections, and the praise of himself as a newcomer who has just debuted is just the consistent words of the big man to the little person, and it should not be true.

After a few words of greeting, a staff member came over with the script to ask the director for instructions, and Li Tang immediately said goodbye with interest, the meaning was there, and he was just acting on the spot.

Being able to mix in this circle, everyone can understand it. After coming out, Zhou Xun was obviously unhappy with a small face, and he may also feel that he was very faceless.

Li Tang smiled: "Okay, the dock has also been worshipped, think about where we are going to eat." ”

This is really a food desert, Li Tang finally took his four sisters to the county seat to eat a meal of Northeast cuisine. There is actually donkey meat in the Northeast restaurant, which is quite a new thing to think about.

Li Tang did not dare to try this local specialty, probably because he felt that donkeys and horses were more like human companions than cows, sheep and pigs.

……

"Sister An, hard work! I won't say any words of thanks, it's all in the wine. ”

In the Japanese restaurant next to the Asian Games Village Hotel, Li Tang held a glass of sake with both hands and toasted to Nai'an.

The contract was completed, and the content in it exceeded his expectations, with a salary of 5,000 episodes, tentatively 12 episodes, and the final settlement was calculated based on the actual number of episodes filmed.

5,000 yuan per episode is a pretty good number, and nowadays, the market for newcomers to shoot TV series is generally only 1,000 to 1,500 episodes, and if it is the main role, it may reach 3,000. Although Li Tang has made two movies, they have not yet been released and have not been tested by the market, which means that the exam has been completed and the results have not yet come out. He thought that he would get a salary of 3,000 episodes, but he didn't expect it to almost double.

In addition, in terms of schedule, I signed for a total of three months and joined the group on October 10, so that not only will it not affect the current performance of the drama "Shang Ying", but also free up enough time to study the script and figure out the role.

Ney An touched a glass with him and said with a smile: "These are the agent's own jobs, not to mention hard, and you can get the play, and the company can also make money." Now I just hope that you can play the show well and strive to be an instant hit. ”

Li Tang and Nai An signed a 28-cent share, which is a very generous sharing ratio, you must know that the ex-girlfriend signed with the flower sister is 46, the company takes 4, and the individual takes 6.

Li Tang smiled: "I don't dare to say whether it's popular or not, but don't worry, I will definitely be able to act well." ”

Although this is his first time acting in a TV series, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand anything. To put it mildly, compared to movies, TV series are all in one job. As for whether he can play well, he still has enough confidence.

"Then I'll rest assured, play well, and when the company develops in the future, I'll give you an assistant."

Yo, Sister An can actually draw flatbread.

Li Tang hurriedly said: "Then I have to assign you an assistant first!" ”

"Hahaha, come, for the smooth cooperation of our first time, and for the future development of the company, cheers!"

……

He took a total of two days off, and the next morning, Li Tang took the earliest flight back to Shanghai.

As soon as he arrived at the unit, he was caught by Xu Guangtou.

"How's the interview, did you win it?"

"Hmm."

"Oh, congratulations! What's the role? ”

"Supporting role, barely the fourth male lead."

"Yes, I don't know if the TV series I filmed last time was ranked as the male N, there are only three episodes in total, and it's not even a fraction of the male lead."

As he spoke, Xu Guangtou lowered his voice and said, "Brother, how much is the price?" ”

The salary is definitely inconvenient to disclose, but Li Tang quietly stretched out five fingers when he saw the favor of selling train tickets after helping him last time.

"Five thousand! An episode, huh? ”

"Hmm."

Li Tang nodded.

Xu Guangtou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to make a small calculation in his heart.

The script of the mythological TV series mentioned last time finally came out, but when he got the script and saw the character for the first time, he almost threw away the script, and after a long time, he actually asked him to play Zhu Bajie.

What is the image of Zhu Bajie in the minds of the Chinese people? Needless to say, everyone knows it. But then it was for the sake of Fan Xiaotian's face that he personally sent over, so he reluctantly flipped through the script.

As a result, I actually saw it.

The story mainly describes the process of Zhu Bajie changing from a pig to a human and then to a god before traveling west. No wonder it is said that it is a prequel to "Journey to the West", and it has nothing to do with "Journey to the West", mainly by editing.

The most important thing is that Zhu Bajie in the script is very different from the traditional perception of Zhu Bajie. Not fat, not stupid, Zhu Bajie was a scholar before he became a pig, and his body was very thin, giving people a very fresh feeling.

This kind of widespread recognition of the public and subversion of the classics can be called "postmodern TV drama art". Moreover, the plot uses the original classic story as the foundation, integrates folklore and mythological stories for subversive interpretation, and composes a story with tears in laughter.

After reading it, Xu Guangtou had to admit that he liked this script very much, but he was still very hesitant, no matter how to subvert it, after all, it was Zhu Bajie, which was very inconsistent with the image of the so-called "serious dramatist" he was currently carefully building.

If you take it, it is equivalent to completely subverting your own image and completely changing your own drama.

As the saying goes, "One wrong step, every wrong step." "There is no room for him to be careless.

But now Li Tang can get a salary of 5,000 episodes just by playing a male number four, he is better than him anyway, and he is still the only male number one, and he has to be 8,000...... No, at least 10,000 episodes of salary, then 30 episodes, 300,000!

This number made his heart itch like being scratched by a cat. 300,000! That's enough for a down payment on a house. You must know that he is still squeezed into a house with his parents, let alone falling in love, it is not convenient to even bring a young lady to the stage, and he has to go to the hotel to open a room every time, which costs a lot.

From the heart, Xu Guangtou instinctively rejected the role of Zhu Bajie, but the script was very attractive to him, and at this dilemma, money undoubtedly played an important medium.

Of course, Li Tang didn't know that his casual drawing of five fingers would make Xu Guangtou sprout so much inner drama. In addition to normal rehearsals and performances, his spare time is to study the script and analyze the character of Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian's real name is Fang Yan, a native of Zhejiang, and his father Fang Zhihang was ordered to be imprisoned by Qianlong for writing prison, and was later ordered to correct the law by Lord Ma. Nineteen members of the Fang family were implicated, and only two brothers and sisters escaped in a hurry, and the boy was taken to Yunnan to worship a Taoist monk as a teacher, and learn literature and martial arts. The girl was abandoned in front of a nunnery, and her whereabouts are unknown, and when the boy grew up, he walked all over the country with a flute and a sword, bent on finding his sister, and the blood feud was unforgettable.

Although Xiao Jian is not the protagonist, Aunt Qiong Yu writes this character very pleasing: strong martial arts, chic and righteous, and a bright and upright heroic demeanor.

Li Tang has read the script of the first part, and combined with the plot of the second part, he will find that the character of Xiao Jian has all the advantages of the four protagonists in the first part: he has the wisdom of Er Kang, and he loves Xiaoyanzi like the fifth elder brother, and at the same time has the talent of Ziwei and the uninhibited of Xiaoyanzi.

And as far as performance is concerned, Xiao Jian's performance is really not difficult, there is not too much inner drama, and there is a lack of the changeable layering of the character's personality, as long as you find the characteristics of the character, you can basically go through the whole story.
