Chapter 111: Amazing
"Sudden ......"
Li Tang drove the antique motorcycle along the road in the industrial zone and turned into a two-lane path, if he hadn't asked the route in advance, he would never have thought that this Shengqiang Film and Television City was actually hidden in a newly built industrial zone.
Go about 100 meters to the end of the road, the south of the road is Shengqiang Film and Television City, and the north is a hotel. There were seven or eight cars parked in the parking lot at the entrance, the most striking of which was a black motorhome. Without looking at the license plate, Li Tang knew that this was Qinggege Wang Yan's car.
Sometimes it's hard to imagine why Wang Yan married a rich man at a young age, why did she come out to act? It is estimated that this salary is not enough to maintain her daily expenses for filming. Maybe it's just that the young grandmother is bored at home and plays with tickets.
Male No. 4, Li Tang is a little unwilling. In fact, he is very envious of Wu Jing and Xu Guangtou, who are the male number one at every turn. Of course, they also have their peculiarities and limitations.
Wu Jing is a martial arts actor, and everything that looks for him is a martial arts drama.
Xu Guangtou has always been good at comedy, and when he was in the play, his comedy and the comedy performed by a senior brother named Yu Hewei in the 92nd class were well-known in school. Including "The Color of Stocks", which made Xu Guangtou win the Magnolia Award, also has strong comedy elements.
It is difficult to find an actor with solid acting skills and comedic talent, to paraphrase a common saying: gold will always shine.
As for Li Tang, during this period of leisure, he also reflected on himself.
"Shanghai Chronicle", "Suzhou Creek", "Returning the Pearl II", "Xiao Li Flying Knife", "Broad Daylight". , three films and two TV series. The movies are all male leads, but the TV series are only supporting roles.
The emergence of this peculiar phenomenon is related to the current special environment in China, where the film market is seriously shrinking, while TV dramas are booming.
He is generally satisfied with the roles he has played in the three movies, of course, there are always such and such small regrets when watching the finished film, but he definitely tried his best during the filming process.
And TV series have some limitations because of the different requirements and role positioning. But actors, in addition to earning money to eat, is also very important to hone their acting skills. It is said: the fist does not leave the hand, and the curl does not leave the mouth. All walks of life have their own technology, and technology needs to grow in training.
In addition, given the particularity and passivity of the actor's profession, you need to be seen. Li Tang took over the role of the male No. 4 in "New Plum Cut" this time out of such a mentality.
The new generation of Qiong girl Shui Ling and kung fu star Zhao Wentable play the male and female protagonists respectively, with their fame in China, if they are benchmarked against Hollywood, they may be equivalent to the combination of Jennifer Aniston and Stallone, at least a Class A production.
You think, even the now popular Qinggege Wang Yan is relegated to the second female, and it is appropriate for Li Tang, a small star who can barely get to the third line, to play the male number four.
In a word, he has an artistic pursuit of movies, and acting in TV series is to hone his acting skills and accumulate popularity, so as to get more opportunities in the future.
Li Tang called Jiang Xuerou at the door of the hotel, and soon saw Jiang Xuerou personally greet her.
"Teacher Li Tang, did you come here by locomotive?"
Jiang Xuerou was surprised to see him wearing a leather jacket, carrying a backpack, and a retro motorcycle parked next to him.
"My house is not far from here, so it's very convenient." Li Tang smiled.
"Then please come in." Jiang Xuerou hurriedly beckoned him to enter the door.
The hotel lobby was empty, and there was no one but the waiter at the front desk. Li Tang followed Jiang Xuerou to a conference room on the second floor.
"Teacher Li Tang, what to drink, tea or coffee?"
"Let's have a cup of coffee."
It was already cold in early December, and although he was tightly wrapped, he was still a little shivering all the way on his motorcycle, and he urgently needed a hot cup of coffee to warm up.
Jiang Xuerou noticed this, and after instructing her assistant, she smiled at Li Tang: "The crew has arranged a separate room for each of the main actors, and there are more night scenes, so it may be more convenient for you to live here." ”
"Okay."
Li Tang is as good as a stream.
According to the contract, he should join the group in a week, and today I will come over to play the front station first, familiarize myself with the environment here, understand the director's way and the performance style of the actors, so that I can better integrate at that time.
"Mr. Li, your coffee."
"Oh, thank you!"
Jiang Xuerou's assistant brought a cup of steaming coffee, and when she smelled it, she knew that it was freshly ground and tasted good. Li Tang took two sips, and his frozen body gradually eased up.
Jiang Xuerou introduced the crew to him, and the crew is currently divided into two groups of AB to shoot at the same time. Directors Ding Yangguo and Shen Yi are both directors from Wanwan.
Among them, Shen Yi is the queen director of Aunt Qiongyu, what "On the Water Side", "Grass by the Green River", "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms", "A Curtain of Dreams" and so on are all works directed by him.
Ding Yangguo is a martial arts instructor and an action-oriented director. Now that kung fu star Zhao Wenbei has been invited to star, action scenes are naturally one of the main selling points of this TV series.
The crew structure of "New Cut Plum" is basically the same as that of "Huanzhu Gege II", the director of Wanwan is responsible for the main control, most of the other behind-the-scenes staff are from the mainland, and most of the actors also use mainland actors.
One thing to say, this year, the crew of Touwanwan is still relatively friendly to the mainland. After all, everyone is of the same language and the same species, and everyone speaks the same Chinese. Moreover, many of Wanwan's film and television companies are registered in China, enjoy the tax exemption policy of joint ventures, and at the same time cooperate with domestic TV stations to use a large number of mainland actors and crews.
Of course, the most important of this is due to interests, but at the same time, they generally agree with it, and they are not as "du" as later generations.
"Let's take a look."
After introducing the general situation of the crew, Jiang Xuerou invited Li Tang to take a look at the filming site.
Shengqiang Film and Television City is a newly built film and television city, the biggest advantage is convenience, the hotel and the film and television city are separated by a road, just lift your legs.
The scale of this film and television city is not large, and most of it is dominated by Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture and Republic of China style. Compared with the increasingly noisy Hengdian, it is very quiet here, and there are no fans to disturb it. The only drawback may be the lack of commercial facilities around, and if you want to eat, drink, buy something, or something, you have to run to the main city a few kilometers away.
When Li Tang and Jiang Xuerou arrived, it was just in time for the shooting. Because of the cold weather, everyone hid in the house to keep warm.
"Oh, Li Tang, you're here!"
Seeing Li Tang, Wang Yan greeted him warmly. Although they only have one rivalry in "Returning the Pearl II", their relationship is not bad.
In fact, Mrs. Kuo, who is rich and plays tickets, no matter which crew she goes to, will definitely have a good relationship. Because she has a good personality, she won't fight or grab, and she is generous. The director and the actor, as long as the brain is fine, it is impossible for anyone to offend her.
"Sister Wang Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's good, right?"
Wang Yan looks much better at this time than when she was filming "Returning the Pearl II", combing her hair in the style of the Republic of China, wearing a jacket with pink prints on a white background, and the whole person looks radiant.
"Well, that's good. Come, I'll introduce you, this is Ding Yangguo Ding Dao......"
The two directors, Shen Yi is older, bald and small-eyed, and her eyes are narrowed into a slit when she laughs. Ding Yangguo is in his thirties, dyed with yellow hair, and looks stylish.
"This is Liu Ximing, I like his songs so much."
"Mr. Liu, hello!"
"Hello, happy cooperation!"
Liu Ximing made his debut as a singer, but he can only be regarded as a second-rate singer in Hong Kong, but he looks very casual and speaks Mandarin that is not very inclusive.
"This is Sister Yu Liyu, playing your wife in the play."
"Hello, Mr. Yu!"
This eldest sister named Yu Li has an impression in the memory of the original body, and remembers that there is a movie starring Andy Lau "Impacting the Protégé of the Son of Heaven" (the plot seriously imitates "The Godfather 2"), although there are not many scenes, but the degree of amazement is no less than that of the heroine Wang AA.
While shaking hands with him, the tall eldest sister Yu looked at him carefully and said with a smile: "The young man is very handsome, happy to cooperate!" ”
is really to cooperate happily, Xing Zhengyang played by Li Tang has the most mother-son scenes with Sister Yu in addition to the love scene with the female number one.
Speaking of widows, Li Tang remembered that she also starred in the movie "Widow's Village". At that time, this film that openly promoted "inappropriate for children" attracted countless adolescent boys, and the original body was no exception. It's just that after reading it, I was fooled, and there was nothing.
In the end, Wang Yan brought Li Tang to the table of the actor Zhao Wen, and said with a smile: "This one doesn't need to be introduced!" ”
"Brother Zhao, fortunately!"
"Hello!"
This is the biggest star in the crew at present, and as soon as he debuted, he starred in "Fang Shiyu" with Li Lian, known as the most handsome villain, and his kung fu moves are no less than Li Lianlian. was first known as the "successor of Li Lian".
Later, he replaced Li Lian to star in the "Huang Feihong" series, and cooperated with Maggie Cheung and Wang AA in "Green Snake" and so on, but unfortunately it started high and went low, probably because of the recession of Hong Kong films, it began to transform into a TV series in the past two years, and the title of "Li Lianlian's successor" fell to the newcomer Wu Jing.
In the past two years, he has probably been the most talked-about relationship with the diva Anita Mui.
The people in the house knew each other, and the only one who didn't see it was the female number one in the play, who was praised by Aunt Qiongyu as "as beautiful as water, and the aura is compelling".
Then the door was pushed open from the outside, and before anyone entered, the voice came first.
"Wow, it's freezing outside today."
When Li Tang heard the sound, he looked back and saw a woman who came out of the painting. If Wang Yan's appearance can be described as delicate facial features and dignified and virtuous temperament, then the woman who just walked in only has two words - amazing!
The second watch, by the way, ask for a ticket!
