Chapter 98: Tai Chi Thirteen Shots
On September 20, the 8th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the 19th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards officially announced the list of nominees. "No One is Missing", which just won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, was unsurprisingly shortlisted for two awards: Best Feature Film and Best Director.
To mention, last year's ex-girlfriend's "Coming Home for the New Year" was also shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival that just ended not long ago, and won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director.
However, "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin", which was also shortlisted for this year's Cannes Film Festival, almost failed to win all the important awards, and was only shortlisted for a series of technical awards such as best cinematography, best editing, best art, and best recording.
In fact, this big-name and hugely invested movie was criticized continuously as soon as it was released, and the reason was nothing more than that Director Chen's last work "Farewell My Concubine" was in front of Zhuyu, and everyone's expectations for this movie were very high.
But the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Li Tang has watched both films, and as far as he is concerned, "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" is very good-looking, especially the performances of the actors in it are remarkable.
What impressed him the most was that Wang Zhiwen, who claimed to be "afraid of heights", was put on the city wall by the Qin king's political order, and made him tremble when he walked on a wooden plank, shouting: "The king said that a few is a few." The scene made Li Tang stunned.
In his opinion, whether it is Li Xuejian who plays Qin Wangzheng or Wang Zhiwen who plays Chang Yu, they are all worthy of a nomination for Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor, and even the award is deserved, but they are all nameless.
In contrast, Zhang Yimou's "No One is Missing", he fell asleep halfway through it.
However, to his delight, as Neyan bragged before, he and Yuan Quan were both shortlisted for the Best Actor and Actress list of this year's Golden Rooster Awards with "Shanghai Chronicle".
Yuan Quan was also nominated for the Best Supporting Actress award for "Rhapsody of Spring". Moreover, there are only two nominees for this award, and there is a great hope of winning the award.
As soon as the list of nominees was announced, Li Tang received countless phone calls, including encouragement from the leaders of the Drama Center and Shanghai Film Studio, as well as congratulations from classmates and friends.
Xu Guangtou's tone has always been sour, and he shouted for him to treat him when he returns to Shanghai. Zhou Xun also called to express his congratulations in his busy schedule.
She is really busy, she has been filming TV series outside, since the last time she visited the class, the two have not seen each other for more than a year, and recently I heard that she is filming a TV series "April Day in the World" about the emotional entanglement of the famous poet Xu Zhimo and Zhang Youyi, Lin Huiyin, and Lu Xiaoman.
"Li Tang, congratulations!"
"Xiao Li, it's amazing, strive to win the Best Actor Award!"
"Brother Li, you have to have a treat!"
Everyone in the crew congratulated.
Li Tang was happy, waved his hand and said, "I'll treat you to KFC at noon!" ”
"Good!"
Everyone is very happy, they are used to eating boxed lunches, and it is rare to eat foreign fast food and change their taste.
And these days, foreign fast food is not cheap, a hamburger, chicken nuggets, French fries and a glass of Coke, to say the least, will cost more than 20 yuan, and the entire crew of 60 or 70 people will have at least 13 or 400 yuan.
Today happened to be Li Tang's last scene, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he discussed with Senior Lu and advanced his role. After filming in the morning, I had a KFC banquet with everyone, and in the afternoon, I took my luggage and returned to the city.
The wind and sand are strong here in the capital, and when he invited Zhang Jizhong and his wife to dinner last time, he came back to live for two days, and after only half a month's work, a thin layer of dust accumulated on the floor and furniture at home.
Li Tang cleaned up the house, and when it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Jing drove his second-hand Jetta over.
"So early? I'm also going to go out and buy some mooncakes and fruits. ”
I made an appointment to visit Wu Jing's house today, and I had already bought gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol, health products, etc., and I didn't buy mooncakes and fruits during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Don't, don't buy it. My dad and my mom have a lot of them, and I can't eat them at all, so I have to ask you to take some away when I go back. ”
Wu Jing saw Li Tang take out two Chinese cigarettes and two bottles of Wuliangye from the house, and said, "I like to drink Moutai." ”
Li Tang rolled his eyes and said, "I gave it to my uncle, not for you to drink." ”
Moutai 220 is a bottle, Wuliangye is 358 yuan, of course, you have to buy Wuliangye.
Wu Jing's family lives in Dongdan, not far from the Artillery Bureau Hutong, but because of the traffic jam, it took nearly 20 minutes to stop and go.
"Uncle, aunt, hello guys, I'm Brother Jing's friend Li Tang!"
As soon as he entered the door, Li Tang bowed politely.
"Ah, Li Tang, come in and sit down, you kid is here, what else do you bring!"
Wu Jing's parents were very enthusiastic, especially Wu's mother pulled him up and down to look him up and down, and sighed: "Real people are more handsome than on TV!" ”
Wu Jing's facial features are like Wu's mother, and her face is like Wu's father. Father Wu is also a baby face, looking much younger than Lao Li.
As soon as Wu Jing came up, he blew Li Tang hard, his friend is awesome, and he also has face.
In fact, in terms of popularity, Li Tang is worse than Wu Jing, but Li Tang is now a little star, especially Wu's father and mother heard that Li Tang won the Huabiao Award for Film Newcomer and was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, and Li Tang's eyes changed differently. The old couple are both in the system, and they attach great importance to things like honor.
Father Wu looked at his son with disgust on his face and said, "What do you say you are messing with, shoot some things that are out of tune, and learn from Li Tang." ”
Wu Jing looked at Li Tang, who was talking and laughing with his father, and felt that he was sloppy this time, so he shouldn't bring this goods to his house as a guest.
This feeling is like when I was a child, I brought the study committee members of the class to play at home, and my father taught him in this tone at that time.
"Brother Jing's martial arts are very good, and these kung fu films he makes are actually promoting our Chinese martial arts culture. I think Brother Jing will definitely be another kung fu superstar in the future after Bruce Lee, Li Lian, and Cheng Long. Li Tang said sincerely.
Both of them are currently small actors, and it is necessary to praise each other and improve each other.
"Hey, I don't dare to expect so much from him, if he wins an award in the future, I'll be thankful." Father Wu waved his hand and said modestly.
That being said, the face has already blossomed. After all, his own son is good, Wu Jing has had great expectations for this son since he was a child. There are thousands of children who learn martial arts, but how many can win the national martial arts championship like Wu Jing, and how many can go to Hong Kong to film as the leading actor?
"Xiao Li, I heard that you can also do kung fu?" Father Wu asked kindly.
Li Tang can still pretend to be a wave in front of the layman, but he never dares to pretend in front of Dad Wu, and he is busy: "I just have a hobby, but I haven't had the opportunity to learn since I was a child, so I just brush two handfuls." ”
Maybe Li Tang blew him too hard just now, Wu Jing was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "This guy has practiced sanda, but it's amazing, I fought with him, and I didn't take advantage of it." ”
Father Wu suddenly looked solemn when he heard this, his son had a few catties and taels, and he knew how many pounds and taels he had. He looked at Li Tang carefully, reached out and touched Li Tang's arm, nodded and said regretfully: "It's a good seedling, it's a pity." ”
"Dad, last time I told you that getting an ash rod was for him." Wu Jing said again.
"Oh, Xiao Li, do you still practice big guns?"
"No, I'm just learning from Brother Jing now. Brother Jing said that it is difficult to learn a big gun, and I want to try it. Li Tang said a little shyly.
Father Wu turned his head and asked Wu Jing, "What marksmanship are you going to teach Xiao Li?" ”
"Of course, it's Wu Mu's thirteen guns, and that Zhao Zilong's eighteen guns are all fake guns." Wu Jing said.
Father Wu said with a look of disdain: "Wu Mu Thirteen Guns, you haven't learned home yet, what can you teach others?" Why not teach Tai Chi Gun? ”
"Huh?"
Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The Tai Chi gun is not our family's family heirloom skill, and it can't be passed on!" ”
Father Wu smiled bitterly: "What kind of family heirloom skills do you need this year, if you don't pass it on, it will be lost." ”
Li Tang was stunned when he heard this, he had only heard of Tai Chi swords, Tai Chi knives and the like, but he had never heard of any Tai Chi guns.
He asked tentatively, "Is this Tai Chi gun easy to learn?" ”
Wu Jing immediately said again under the gesture of Wu's father's eyes: "Our Wu family's Taiji gun is also called Taiji Thirteen Guns, which is divided into four scattered guns, four sticky guns, four throwing guns and wrapping guns all the way. The so-called scattered guns, the first shot is called distraction and stabs like a strange python; Second shot: The crane shook its head and stabbed its shoulder; Third shot: Harrier fluttering sparrow stabbing foot pose; Fourth shot: Flying swallow throws nest on the stabbing surface. The so-called sticky four-shot ......"
“…… The so-called winding gun all the way, take the adhesion and follow the will, in order not to lose the top, light and flexible winding, is the ever-changing prime minister! ”
Wu Jingyang said a lot, but Li Tang didn't understand a word. But I didn't understand it, but I always felt like I was powerful.
In the end, I saw him shake his head and said: "Our family's Wu's Tai Chi Thirteen Guns, it is easy to learn and easy to learn, and it is not easy to learn if it is not easy to learn, it is similar to Wu Mu's Thirteen Guns, the key is to practice the basic skills first, in order to get twice the result with half the effort." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Dad Wu, "Dad, did you get the gun?" ”
Father Wu was a little embarrassed and said, "I contacted your Uncle Wang, he doesn't have any good goods over there recently, so I have to wait for a while." ”
Li Tang originally thought that the so-called gun was just a piece of wood, it was not a big deal, but when he heard Father Wu say this, it didn't seem to be too simple, and he hurriedly said: "It's okay, uncle, don't worry." ”
As soon as he said this, Father Wu couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Li, once you come to the door for the first time, uncle can't let you leave empty-handed." Come on, come on! ”
So saying, he walked outside the house and took out a long strip of something wrapped in oilcloth from under the eaves.
When opened, it was an ash rod that was as white as jade.
"Dad, this is the barrel of my gun, I haven't used it yet." Wu Jing walked out and said anxiously as soon as he saw it.
"Go and go, you won't be home all day long, and if you put it away, it's better to let Xiao Li practice first."
Dad Wu picked up this ash pole, good guy, it is more than three meters long. And it is full of tenacity, I saw that Dad Wu shook it lightly, and shook out a few spear flowers. It's just that the Wu family's courtyard is not big, and it really can't be used.
