At the beginning of May, the shortlist of the 5th Huabiao Awards was announced, and "Shanghai Chronicle" was shortlisted for the Outstanding Feature Film Award and the Best Director Award, while Li Tang and Yuan Quan were also shortlisted for the Best Actor and Actress Award and the Film Newcomer Award.

The Huabiao Award is a film award sponsored by the Ministry of Truth, Radio, Television and Film Bureau, and is a government award in the film industry. "Shanghai Chronicle" was naturally shortlisted as a tribute film.

Li Tang has been shortlisted for the award for the first time in his two lives combined, and he is still very excited. The award ceremony will be held three weeks later, on May 22, in Beijing.

"What? Still want me to prepare a show? ”

The organizer also notified Li Tang to prepare a program, and when the time comes, he will perform at the award ceremony, and he must report it in advance, and there will be a rehearsal before the award ceremony.

"You are stupid, let you prepare the show in advance, which means that you can win the award, it is estimated that it is the film newcomer award." Ney said excitedly.

Although Li Tang was also shortlisted for the Best Actor Award, Ney An and he are not arrogant enough to win this award. After all, except for him, a newcomer, the others are actors who have been famous for a long time, such as Uncle Benshan in "The Director of Men and Women", Ge You in "Not Seen or Stupid", Shao Bin in "Spring Rhapsody" and so on.

Of course, Li Tang can win the Film Newcomer Award, which is also something worth celebrating.

It's just that the performance program is a problem, and after thinking about it, Li Tang can only say: "Otherwise, let's sing a song." ”

After all, he was born in a drama class, and he studied for four years, which is real. And although Li Tang opened the back door when he was admitted to school, his body and voice conditions were still passable.

This is also why many actors can act and sing, the vocal foundation is solid, and the voice conditions are good, so the singing is naturally on the level line.

"What song?"

Li Tang hesitated: "Can you sing English songs?" ”

The main reason is that most of the songs in the original memory are Hong Kong and Taiwan, and in his previous life, he basically sang English songs, saying that he also hummed Brother Luoya's "We will we will rock you......"

Ney Ann glanced at him and frowned, "English songs are not suitable, and rock and roll is not good." ”

At the government awards ceremony, what's the matter with you singing English songs? And with the current mainstream cultural consciousness in China, it is not friendly to rock and roll.

"Then it's "My Motherland." Li Tang said again.

This is the most familiar Chinese song in his previous life, and it is funny that in his previous life, his father obviously became an American citizen, but he often hummed this "My Motherland" at home.

“……”

Ney looked at him speechlessly, and said, "You can't pick a song that is a little more normal!" ”

As she spoke, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you still don't sing." The performances at the Huabiao Awards Gala are all actors, and it is estimated that most of them are singing, otherwise they ......"

She thought about it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Why don't you perform a set of sword dances, it's the one you played last time, it's very beautiful, and the stage effect must be good." ”

"Sister An, this is not called a sword dance, it is called a three-talented sword!" Li Tang corrected.

That's right, this is the swordsmanship he learned from Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin is the sword champion of the National Wushu Championships, especially good at Tai Chi Sword. But he thought that the Tai Chi Sword was too slow, as if the old man and the old lady were exercising.

So Zhang Jin taught him this set of three-talent swords. It is said that this set of swordsmanship is the Wudang Taiji Sword that integrates the essence of the Shaolin Dharma Sword, which is faster than the Taiji Sword and slower than the fierce Shaolin Dharma Sword. The sword flowers are dazzling, the sword dancers are flickering and moving, the body is fast but not chaotic, and the swordsmanship is sharp and stretched.

In a word, it looks very good, pretending to be a sharp weapon.

"Whether it's a sword dance or a three-talent sword, it's pretty good anyway. You think, this kind of show must not be performed, it is innovative, and it also promotes Chinese martial arts culture. The most important thing is that there will be many directors at the Huabiao Awards ceremony, Zhang Yimou and Chen Dadao, they will all be present, this is an opportunity to show your talents, a very good platform......"

The more she talked, the more excited she became, she felt that she was still inexperienced as an agent, and what she thought was a task now seemed to be a very good opportunity to showcase.

At most, people perform singing and dancing, or sketches or something, but it is really rare for actors to perform martial arts, and it is easy to attract the attention of the director.

"But I'm not done yet."

Li Tang was a little entangled, worried that he wouldn't be able to handle this half-swordsmanship.

"If you haven't practiced it, hurry up and practice it, and I'll ask someone to help you find a suitable set of background music when you go back. It's a pity that the time is too tight, otherwise it would be more perfect to find a few more backup dancers. Ney said with regret in the end.

……

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In the practice room of the drama center, Li Tang meticulously practiced the three-talent swordsmanship. Although he has not practiced this set of swordsmanship for a long time, as long as he has basic skills, he can learn it quickly, and now he is in the proficient stage.

As the saying goes: practice makes perfect. If you practice too much and form muscle memory, it will naturally give people the feeling that the sword is moving at will.

And this set of swordsmanship is originally full of bells and whistles, and it is extremely ornamental. Especially when Li Tang jumps up, he can drive a horse, lie on the ground and make another move to look back at the moon, the sword aura is fierce, and the sword flower dance is even more dazzling.

Xu Guangtou, who was watching from the sidelines, was stunned, and couldn't wait to applaud and applaud: "Li Tang, you knotted stick, you really can't see it, what Chen Optics?" ”

It is said that after Xu Guangtou came back from filming "Zhu Bajie", the whole person seemed to be a different person, refreshed, and with a constant smile on his face. went out to shoot a movie, not only did he get 300,000 yuan, but he also soaked the heroine in the play.

The key is that this heroine is amazing, peach, commonly known as: little pink, not to mention the "Sunny Days" that brushed the box office of 50 million in the mainland, the "Black Eyes" starring her last year not only won the Best Actress Award at the Damascus International Film Festival, but also won the Best Actress Award at the 4th Huabiao Awards and the Best Actress Award at the 18th Golden Rooster Awards.

is like a rising star, in terms of popularity and status in the circle, I don't know how many streets Xu Guangtou will be thrown out. Even so, he was actually soaked by Xu Guangtou, this sense of accomplishment is no less than Wu Jing's soak to Miss Hong Kong, and it is no wonder that Xu Guangtou has always been smiling recently.

"I learned it from a martial arts champion the last time I was filming."

Li Tang wiped his sweat with a towel.

The program of swordsmanship was reported, and the organizer was very surprised, so he went to check the information from Li Tang's newspaper, and sure enough, it was clearly written in the specialty column: English, martial arts.

The show of performing swordsmanship is indeed very novel, and the organizers are particularly looking forward to it, hoping that during the rehearsal in the middle of the month, Li Tang can bring surprises.

Of course, the drama center also attaches great importance to Li Tang's performance at the Huabiao Award Ceremony, and specially allocated a practice room for him to train.

Xu Guangtou played with Li Tang's sword for performance in his hand, and sighed: "In the end, I have kung fu, I can't do it, I don't have this talent." ”

Li Tang knew that he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he was a little squirming last time he invited himself to coffee, but he came over again today to compliment him, and it must have a purpose.

Then he said: "Big guy, what do you have to say, should you ask me to invite me to the flower bar again?" ”

Xu Guangtou immediately shook his head and said: "Don't talk to me about eating flowers and wine in the future, it's not interesting at all, and you won't go in the future." ”

Li Tang saw that he looked fake, and when he saw it, he became angry, and said disdainfully: "It looks like the real thing, how can it, if you talk about a big star, you will quit flower wine?" ”

Xu Guangtou sighed and said: "If you don't quit, you can't do it, the wallet can't bear it!" ”

said, hesitated slightly, and then said embarrassedly: "I bought a house." ”

Xu Guangtou has been thinking about buying a house for a long time, and this time he finally bought it.

"Where to buy? What's the price? ”

"Luwan next door, it's more than 6,000 square meters!"

"It's okay for the price." Li Tang nodded.

Luwan is, after all, the city center.

So the question is, why is the house in Xujiahui Garden that Lao Li bought for him more expensive?

This is because Xujiahui Garden is adjacent to Xujiahui business district, surrounded by Oriental Commercial Building, Sixth Department Store, Pacific Shopping Mall, Metro City, etc., in addition to Nanjing Road and Huaihai Road, it is the most noisy here.

Moreover, there are now houses in Shanghai divided into domestic and export houses, and the domestic houses in the city center are roughly six or seven thousand square meters, but the export houses in the same area cost more than 2,000 US dollars.

In the long run, buying a house is not only a solution to the housing problem, but also the best way to invest and manage your finances.

"Looks like you're making a decent amount of money this time." Li Tang said with a smile.

Xu Guangtou said with a bitter face: "I can empty my pockets anymore." Big household, is it good to borrow some copper? ”

Li Tang was stunned: "Really fake?" ”

Could it be that this product just wants to borrow money from himself, which is a bit inconsistent with his face-saving character.

"Of course it's true."

The goods twisted: "Half of the down payment was paid, the banknotes were used up, and there was no copper decoration." ”

"50% down payment? Why don't you borrow more? Li Tang was puzzled.

"Ah, it's not cost-effective to borrow more, and the interest can't bear it! Even if there are banknotes to be repaid in advance in the future, all the interest will be deducted in front of it, and the principal will not be much. Don't worry, if I ask you to borrow money, I will give you a regular interest rate from the bank for one year, and I will borrow it for one year. ”

When Li Tang heard this, Xu Guangtou was really shrewd, and asked himself to borrow money at the one-year deposit interest rate, and not to borrow more from the bank, which saved nearly two points as soon as he went out. According to 100,000 yuan, it will be 2,000 yuan a year, which is enough to go to KTV to eat a meal of flower wine. This is not counting the extra interest deduction for early repayment, and it is far more than a meal of wine inside and out.

"So how much are you going to borrow? First of all, I don't have a lot of money on hand right now. ”

Xu Guangtou stretched out a finger and said flatteringly: "Not much, 100,000 is enough." ”
