Chapter 123: New Year's Greetings

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Tang chartered a car and hurried to Hangzhou.

Naian got married, she and the successful person outside the circle saw each other, and the age was not young, so she quickly cut through the mess, and completed the relationship to marriage in less than half a year.

Li Tang received a notice from Nai An before, and he was neither surprised nor surprised. Not surprisingly, he knew that Ney Ann had been rushing to get married from the beginning, but unexpectedly, he didn't expect it to be so soon.

At the same time, he had to reconsider his relationship with Neyan. As a broker, the pros and cons of Ne An are very obvious. The advantage is that her connections are wide enough, her stepfather is a domestic cultural celebrity, she herself was originally in the mixed cultural circle, and later mixed in the director circle, and has a good relationship with the so-called sixth generation of directors who are currently rising, and she herself has the qualifications to cross the drama and Chinese opera, all of the above, it is not difficult for her to take over the play.

But the disadvantages, she is not a competent agent at all, and she does not have any career plans for Li Tang, except for taking over the play, the commercial resources are not pitiful, but there is no at all. In addition, other people's agents are always busy when the actors are filming, in addition to arranging life, they are also responsible for communicating with the crew, etc., while Ney An is purely the shopkeeper.

It's not that he doesn't want to cooperate with Neyan, in fact, Ney'an's hands-off style makes him feel very free and without any sense of restraint. But now that Naian is married, he will definitely face many practical problems in the future, such as having children, there will be a break of at least two years in the middle, and it will be even more troublesome if he has a few more.

And for Ney herself, the agent is just a passing, and she prefers to be a producer. "Suzhou Creek" was successful, and it is said that she plans to prepare for a new project with Lou Ye.

In fact, when Li Tang was still a newcomer, Ney An was a good agent, because he had the resources to help him get a certain position. But now that Li Tang has reached a certain height, the disadvantages of Naian as an incompetent, or amateur agent, have emerged.

It's not that he wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but he knows that continuing will not be beneficial to his career, or even harmful, so he must make a timely cut, instead of being stupid and angry.

Li Tang decided to find a suitable time this year to talk to Naian and explain their ideas. If Ne Ann still wants to continue to cooperate with him, then he must be clear about his demands, such as planning, business resources, and so on.

In particular, commercial resources are very important to the current Li Tang, on the one hand, it is very helpful to improve his coffee position, and of course, it is more important to make money. An actor with aspirations must have a considerable economic foundation, which can help you resist temptation and also help you win the role you want.

For example, when you read the script, you know that this may be a bad movie, but the other party's price is very high, whether you accept it or not, this is a question.

Most people may not be able to resist such temptations, but when you have a certain brokerage foundation, you can say no with confidence.

Similarly, when you fancy a role, in a very competitive situation, if you don't care about money, you can completely reduce your salary to increase your competitiveness, and you can even bring money into the group, make yourself an investor, and drink back all opponents.

And when you have accumulated enough economic foundation, then congratulations, you will be with Xiao Lizi, Matt. Damon and other Hollywood celebrities have become capital.

In fact, with Li Tang's current coffee position in the entertainment industry, in terms of business ability alone, the most suitable agent is an agent like Sister Hua. On the one hand, after all, people have been deeply engaged in this field for many years and have accumulated certain resources, especially commercial resources; On the other hand, with the professional work quality of others, it will definitely save him a lot of trouble in the future.

But Sister Hua, after all, my ex-girlfriend is there, trouble!

Nai'an's wedding was held in Wangzhuang on the shore of the beautiful West Lake, and the guests were all relatives and close friends.

Lou Ye will definitely not be absent today, he actually arrived last night, wearing a crisp black tunic, looking very elegant.

Li Tang leaned forward with a smile: "Brother Ye, how does it feel to win the award?" ”

Lou Ye smiled shyly and didn't say anything.

"I heard Sister An say that she is going to prepare a new movie?"

Speaking of the movie, Lou Ye finally opened up: "I just have a preliminary idea, and the script has not been implemented yet." ”

Li Tang originally wanted to inquire and see if he had a chance, but when he heard that the script had not yet been settled, it was estimated that there was a high probability that he would know what would happen later, and he would inevitably be a little disappointed if he was early.

"There's a film festival in Paris, France next month, do you want to go together?" This time Lou Ye took the initiative to ask.

"Next month...... I probably won't be able to go. Li Tang hesitated.

It's just early February, and it's still too late to apply for a visa or anything, but he just got news from Nai An that "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has begun to prepare, and the selection of actors has also been put on the agenda.

In addition, he had several unpleasant experiences in his previous life, which made him have a bad impression of Paris.

Lou Ye was not reluctant, just nodded.

After a while, he said, "Xiao Zhou should be able to go." ”

Sister Xiaoxun, I haven't seen you for a long time, I saw the news some time ago that the TV series "April Day in the World" starring her and Huang Lei, Liu Ruoying, and Yi Neng Jingyi was broadcast in Wanwan and received a good response.

……

"Teacher Zhang, Happy New Year!"

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Tang knocked on the door of Zhang Jizhong's house.

The bearded man was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and then immediately said enthusiastically: "Li Tang, rare guest!" Come on, please come in. ”

Li Tang's enthusiasm for the beard was somewhat flattered, because when they met for dinner for the first time, Lao Zhang behaved quite coldly, coupled with his oppressive appearance, which made people feel high.

However, some people are like this, they may be very withdrawn at work and always keep their distance from others, but they are often warm and thoughtful when meeting in private.

This kind of person is serious in his work, and has cultivation and courtesy. And it is precisely this kind of person who is the most difficult to deal with, who may give you the illusion in private, but who is absolutely businesslike at work.

Of course, Li Tang definitely didn't come to the door empty-handed, Moutai wine, Chinese cigarettes, two boxes of Shenxiang brand cordyceps in a flat gift box, and a basket of packaged fruits.

Two days ago, at Nai'an's wedding, Li Tang planned to meet Fan Xinman by chance and inquire about the current progress of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but unfortunately, the more holidays and the busiest time for CCTV, the sisters couldn't take a break to attend their best friend's wedding.

Fortunately, although Naian is newly married to Yan'er, he still takes his affairs to heart. The next day, I called him and asked him to go to the capital to visit Zhang Dabeard in person.

On the one hand, there is the number of rites, since there is a request for others, the New Year's greetings are the due meaning. On the other hand, even if the relationship between Naian and Fan Xinman is good, it is Zhang Dabeard who makes the decision, and visiting the New Year to pay New Year's greetings is also to express a kind of sincerity and try to leave a good impression on the beard.

And Nell also heard that on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the two of them rarely rested at home.

The day after Li Tang received the call, that is, yesterday, he hurried to the capital. Tobacco, alcohol and fruits were bought at the mall before coming, and those 16-gram packs of cordyceps sinensis were brought from home.

Li Tang suddenly remembered that Cordyceps sinensis is a very high-end tonic, and the biggest effect is to tonify the kidney and strengthen the yang, Lao Zhang saw that there were almost five sheets, and Fan Xinman was at the age of a wolf and a tiger, he felt that Lao Zhang would definitely be able to use it.

In fact, Cordyceps sinensis is not expensive these days, like this 16-gram tiled gift box, the wholesale price of Lao Li to the medicinal material company is a little more than 100, and it is also a god elephant brand produced by Shanghai Lei Yunshang, a century-old brand, Shanghai famous and high-quality products, absolutely authentic.

Although Shanghai's supply and marketing cooperatives have declined, two of their subordinate enterprises are still very prosperous because they occupy a monopoly position. One is called the Sugar, Tobacco and Liquor Company, and the other is a medicinal herb company.

Lao Li is also an old qualified member of the supply and marketing cooperatives in his hometown, and he has many friends, so it is easy to get wholesale prices of expensive tobacco, alcohol and ginseng tonic from these two companies.

As soon as Li Tang entered the room, he suddenly felt a heat wave rushing towards his face. One thing to say, don't look at the small yard he has now, it looks good outside, but it really says that it is comfortable to live in, especially in winter, it has to be a building. In particular, in the area of Zizhulin, where Zhang Dabeard lives, many of them are dormitories of government agencies and large state-owned enterprises, and the heating is especially in place.

No wonder Lao Zhang wore short sleeves and pajama pants in the house. It's like the Cannon Bureau Hutong where Li Tang lives, although it uses electric heating, it is always warm, far less than the temperature in Lao Zhang's house. But he's okay, after all, the house is newly renovated and there is electric heating. Most of the people in the hutongs still use stoves for heating, and the houses are in disrepair and leaking everywhere, making the winter even more difficult.

Lao Zhang's house is not big, with a two-bedroom layout, about fifty or sixty square meters. Lao Zhang warmly invited Li Tang into the house, and shouted into the room: "Xinman, Li Tang is here." ”

"Yo, Li Tang, rare guest! No wonder the day before yesterday, Nai An asked me and Lao Zhang on the phone when we were resting, and I dared to come! ”

Fan Xinman came out of the bedroom when he heard the sound, oh, this sister was actually wearing a silk low-cut pajamas, the white and white breasts, Li Tang looked at it dazzlingly.

"I've always wanted to visit you and Mr. Zhang, isn't this just the right time for the New Year!" Li Tang said busily.

At the same time, he quickly looked away, he didn't dare to look at the chest of someone's daughter-in-law in front of the beard.

"Sit down! Lao Zhang, make tea! ”

In a word, family status is judged.

Lao Zhang answered and hurriedly went to the kitchen to make tea.

The living room is not big, so you can only sit around the dining table.

"Li Tang, you can come as soon as you say, why are you still so polite...... Yo, it's all good! ”

Fan Xinman flipped through the gifts brought by Li Tang without any notice, especially when she saw the two boxes of Cordyceps sinensis, which were still the Divine Elephant Cards produced by Lei Yunshang, her eyes suddenly lit up.

There is Tongrentang in the north and Lei Yunshang in the south. Especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they all recognize the brand of gods. It can be seen from this that Li Tang's visit to the door today was not perfunctory, but carefully prepared and very sincere.

Besides, Lao Zhang may be too busy during this time, and he is a little not very powerful, so he just makes up for him.

"Li Tang, stay for dinner for a while, although my family has nothing to prepare, but Lao Zhang's dumplings are a must." Fan Xinman warmly left him for dinner.

Li Tang looked at Zhang's beard, for fear of disturbing others, and was about to excuse himself. But Lao Zhang said happily: "Yes, yes, stay and eat, let's drink two glasses, dumplings will be wine, and the more you drink, the more you drink." ”

The second watch, roll and ask for tickets!
