Chapter 186: Returning the Favor
The fate between people is sometimes wonderful, Li Tang and Han Binjiang met because Han Binjiang met when he mixed into the crew's locker room to shoot secretly. It stands to reason that it was preferential treatment not to beat him up and drive him out at that time, but Li Tang still accepted his interview that day. Of course, this has a lot to do with Li Tang's good mood at the time, but at the same time, he feels that Han Binjiang is a very hard-working reporter, and in his shallow values, a hard-working person should at least be respected.
Han Binjiang was very surprised to receive Zeng Jia's call, at this time, it had been almost a month since the last signing meeting, and even he himself had almost forgotten about it, but he didn't expect Li Tang not only to remember his phone, but also to really let the agent call, and he forgot to speak for a while.
"Reporter Han, Mr. Li has just had time in the past two days, when do you think you are free?" Zeng Jia repeated it on the phone.
Han Binjiang came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "If you are free, you are free, I will come over right now......
As he spoke, he raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was now more than ten o'clock in the morning.
"I'll be here at one o'clock in the afternoon, do you think it's appropriate?"
"Okay, I'll send you the specific address on your phone."
Li Tang asked Han Binjiang to meet at a teahouse near the workers' stadium. As his ex-girlfriend and Fan Xiaopang often go in and out of the courtyard, he protects the privacy of the courtyard very well, and he will definitely not ask reporters to come to the door directly.
In the past two years, more and more bars have been opened in Beijing, and teahouses have also risen. The so-called teahouse here is completely different from the old teahouse in the old capital that listens to cross talk and opera, and it has more southern characteristics, such as small bridges and flowing water, melodious guzheng, and what kind of kung fu tea is the main thing.
This kind of teahouse generally has a private room, which allows the waiter to perform the so-called tea ceremony, as well as a few cups of tea, a few plates of fruit snacks, three or five guests, or bragging, or business negotiations.
Today, Zeng Jia found a good place, there are not many guests in the hall, it is quiet, and he found a relatively elegant private room.
When Li Tang arrived, Han Binjiang had already arrived.
"Reporter Han, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, no, I arrived early."
Li Tang introduced Zeng Jia who came with him again: "This is my agent Zeng Jia, you have contacted on the phone before." ”
Han Binjiang saw Zeng Jia, who was tall and good-looking, flashed a hint of discoloration, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said politely: "Miss Zeng, fortunately, I've troubled you before." ”
Zeng Jia shook his hand and nodded reservedly: "Hello, reporter Han." ”
After sitting down, Han Binjiang hurriedly said, "Teacher Li, Miss Zeng, what do you want to drink?" ”
"Tea bar, it's simpler, the main thing is to talk about it together."
Without Li Tang's instructions, Zeng Jia took the initiative to get up and call the waiter to order three cups of Hangzhou Longjing for 68 yuan, and fruits and snacks were included.
Han Binjiang took the initiative to take out a page and handed it over: "Teacher Li, this is the outline of the interview, you can see if there is anything wrong." ”
Li Tang took a look, and most of them were questions about the hottest "Smiling Proud Jianghu" at present. Since "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was scheduled to be broadcast on January 26, major media have begun to hype again, what "Li Tang and Xu Qing Interpret Life and Death Love", "< Smiling Proud Jianghu> and a certain big drama competition" and so on.
Some Li Tang knew at a glance that it was Zhang Dabeard's handiwork, and some were hyped by the media, including some people with ulterior motives who made irresponsible remarks, and even some went online.
For example, some media dug out an interview with the chief director Huang Jianzhong a few years ago, when Lao Huang said that he was not interested in martial arts themes, did not like to watch martial arts, did not understand Jin Yong's works, etc., in order to ridicule the chief director of the mainland version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" for not watching martial arts to film.
Some talked about the Hong Kong and Taiwan version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", all kinds of praise, and brought the rhythm up first. It is not difficult to guess that when the mainland version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is broadcast in the future, there will be all kinds of faults and belittlements.
The funniest thing is a so-called famous literary critic, who disapproves of CCTV's martial arts dramas, and believes that some scenes of revenge and fighting and killing in martial arts dramas cannot bring a good atmosphere of appreciation to the audience. Moreover, many of the so-called martial arts are contrary to historical truth and are not beneficial to educating young people.
It's ridiculous to watch, what age is this?
Of course, Han Binjiang's interview outline is indispensable about his emotional problems, Li Tang doesn't care about this, this kind of scandal about celebrities is the most talked about by the masses of the people, as a public figure, you must have an awareness of this, it is nothing more than repeating the same old tune, not admitting or denying it, leaving yourself a way back.
After Li Tang finished reading it, he handed the interview outline to Zeng Jia, which was a sign of respect for her executive agent and an expression of trust.
Zeng Jia looked very seriously, and repeatedly made sure that there were no sensitive issues before nodding at Li Tang.
When Han Binjiang started to ask questions, he was very interesting, obviously with the intention of repaying the favor, and asked Li Tang to respond to some controversial topics at present.
For example, for some media to tout the Hong Kong and Taiwan version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Li Tang replied very confidently: "I think my performance is definitely not inferior to Ling Huchong played by any Hong Kong and Taiwan actor, including other actors in the crew, such as Ren Yingying played by Xu Qing, Yue Buqun of Wei Zi, Lin Pingzhi of Li Jie, etc., and many old artists have contributed good performances." The most important thing is in terms of service, scenery and exterior, which is not comparable to the Hong Kong and Taiwan versions at all, so I believe that the CCTV version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will definitely bring a different viewing experience to the audience. ”
It may be that his answer was too straightforward, which made Han Binjiang excited and somewhat surprised. Zeng Jia whispered to him on the side that his remarks might cause some controversy.
But Li Tang waved his hand, saying that it didn't matter. To tell the truth, he has always admired Hong Kong and Taiwan brainlessly for some domestic media, and has long been quite critical of some remarks that everything in China is inferior to Hong Kong and Taiwan.
It may be precisely because of the encouragement of these media that some people in Hong Kong and Taiwan feel good about themselves, and even turn into various forms of discrimination against the mainland.
Li Tang had several unpleasant experiences in his previous life, such as once he went to Hong Kong on a trip to China, and he completely accepted two different service attitudes in Mandarin and English. Speaking Mandarin, he obviously feels a kind of condescension, just like the feeling he felt when he communicated with Li Shaohong and Chen Dadao, that is, he spoke very politely, but there was a kind of arrogance in his bones.
When you start speaking English, especially if you speak London fluently, it's a heartfelt passion, even a little humble.
You say it's cheap!
Including Han Binjiang's remarks about the so-called literary critic's Shanggang line, Li Tang also made an objective response: "I think "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is the best work of Jin Yong's old man, this book not only tells a wonderful touching story of supporting justice, but also tells us a lot of principles of life, I personally think it is positive. Of course, the most important thing is that we filmed this work very well to reflect the essence of the original work. ”
In fact, these negative comments, especially these online evaluations, still put a lot of pressure on CCTV. The most obvious thing is that the script adaptation of the second Jin Yong drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been stopped, and CCTV decided to wait for the broadcast of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" to listen to the evaluation of audiences from all walks of life before deciding whether to continue.
As a result, Lao Zhang, who was originally full of confidence, was quite depressed.
This interview lasted for nearly two hours, and Li Tang spoke freely about the topic of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but his attitude towards his emotional problems has always been conservative, and he has played the same old tune with nothing new. But for Han Binjiang, he is already very satisfied.
The Daily News, where he works, is just a new media outlet that has just been established for a year, and it is in dire need of heavyweight coverage on such a hot topic. Li Tang's attitude in today's interview is very frank, and some topics can be said to be vigorous. He even considered whether some of Li Tang's original words should be written a little more tactfully when writing the manuscript, so as not to put too much pressure on Mr. Li at that time.
After the interview, Li Tang left the box under the pretext of going to the toilet. When there were only two people left in the room, Zeng Jia took out an envelope from his bag and handed it over, Han Binjiang naturally accepted it, and said with a smile: "Miss Zeng, don't worry, I will definitely not write bad things about Teacher Li." ”
This is very interesting, when the reporter chases the celebrity for an interview, the initiative is on the celebrity's side, but when the celebrity agrees to be interviewed, especially for an exclusive interview like today, then the initiative changes hands, and the good and bad writing are all in the reporter's hand.
Usually, the party being interviewed always wants to be interesting, which is also an unspoken rule in the industry. Of course, Li Tang is more cautious in this regard, he usually does not be on the scene for this kind of thing, there is Zeng Jia's operation, and it must be one-on-one, so as not to have sequelae in the future.
However, Zeng Jia still said with a straight face: "Reporter Han, I still hope that this interview can let me take a look at it before it is published." ”
Zeng Jia's request may not be acceptable in the eyes of Zhang Jie, a senior reporter of Southern Weekly, then for a young reporter like Han Binjiang, even if there are some small bumps in his heart, he will not show it, and in line with the attitude of respecting me and respecting others, he immediately nodded very happily: "No problem!" ”
Han Binjiang was very clever, he knew that Li Tang used the excuse of going to the toilet to avoid suspicion, so he simply didn't wait for Li Tang to come back, got up and said goodbye: "Miss Zeng, when Teacher Li comes back to help me say sorry, I'll leave first." ”
"Reporter Han, I'll send you."
As long as she finishes talking about business, Zeng Jia always has a shallow smile and a very decent attitude.
