The rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, they are sophisticated.

The reason why Ling Hu Chong can mix like a fish in water is nothing more than being bold and righteous and affectionate. When martial arts are not so high, there will always be someone to help when encountering danger.

The same is true of the real society, Lao Li taught him since he was a child that he must have contacts with others, and if you blindly take advantage of others, it will only make people look down on you, and the road will become narrower and narrower.

As the old saying goes: a little bit of grace springs to repay. Or if someone respects me, I respect others. In fact, there is no need to exaggerate so much, just remember the favor that others have given you, and don't forget to return it.

So Lao Zhang opened his mouth, let alone let him play Yang Kang, even if he let him play Ouyang Ke, Tuo Lei or something, he has nothing to say.

There is also an old saying: It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Or a gentleman deceives him.

So in the face of Lou Ye's works and the characters he didn't like, he said no to Nai An very calmly.

"Why?"

Neyan was surprised.

Li Tang smiled bitterly: "I don't like the character of Zhou Wei, I'm afraid that I won't act well." In addition, this theme will be ...... I'm worried that it will affect the future. ”

The word "dislike" has a strong reason for literary and artistic youth. Ne An was not only a young woman in literature and art, but also a businessman, and the reason for "sensitive subject matter and worry about future development" is even stronger.

Although it is banned because of the sensitivity of the subject matter, the board often hits the director's buttocks, but when it comes to whether it will affect the development of the actors, no one can say this. As the company's current cash cow, Naian has no reason to let Li Tang take risks, not to mention that people have a reason to "dislike".

Nai An had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay, I'll talk to Lou Ye when I go back." This time he is going to be disappointed, this Zhou Wei's character was originally written according to your template. ”

Hearing this, Li Tang was a little frightened, and hurriedly said, "Otherwise, I'll go and say hello to Brother Ye myself." ”

Ney Ann shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just say that your schedule can't be adjusted." Anyway, there are a lot of people who want to act in his movies, so slowly pick it up. ”

Although Lou Ye is not well-known outside the circle, he has long been well-known in the circle, and unlike other so-called sixth-generation directors' rural themes or third-line feelings, Lou Ye shoots urban themes, which are particularly easy to be favored by big stars.

A big star must always have a heart to pursue art.

……

Pudong Airport, international arrival interface.

"Brother Li!"

"Wow, welcome to our Cheng Dao!"

Li Tang, who was wearing sunglasses, exaggeratedly opened his arms and hugged Cheng Er, who had just gotten off the plane.

"How about going out this time?"

"Exceptional! After the festival, I went to Paris again to see the Mona Lisa and the Palace of Versailles. Cheng Er said with excitement on his face.

In these years, literary and artistic youth have always been particularly yearning for France.

"Didn't you get robbed?"

"Uh...... The law and order in Paris is quite chaotic, and I feel that there are a lot of blacks. I have seen theft and robbery in broad daylight, but I am lucky, and I am not robbed. ”

"Okay, just come back safely."

Li Tang patted him on the shoulder, and the two walked forward together.

At this time, a girl with glasses stared at Li Tang from a distance, and then ran over and asked cautiously, "Are you Li Tang?" ”

"I am."

"Wow, that's you! Li Tang...... Oh no, Mr. Li, I especially like your role as Ling Hu Chong! ”

The little girl suddenly exclaimed excitedly, and quickly took out a pen and paper from her bag, "Teacher Li, can you help me sign a name?" ”

"Of course."

In the face of the fans' requests, Li Tang was as good as a stream, and took over and signed his name.

It's just that the little girl's exclamation alarmed many passengers in the airport hall, and at this time, the real fire sown by the smiling rivers and lakes was smiling, and when they heard Linghu Chong here, many people immediately surrounded him.

Some wanted to sign autographs, some wanted to take group photos, and some even asked loudly: "Ling Hu Chong, when will Yue Buqun die?" ”

Another big change in the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is to put Yue Buqun's death in the last episode, the villain, of course, must be eliminated in the finale to push the plot to the climax.

Now that I hear that everyone cares so much, it shows that the image of the hypocrite Yue Buqun created by Mr. Wei Zi is still quite successful.

The fans were too enthusiastic, Li Tang was a little overwhelmed, and finally got rid of the encirclement of the fans under the escort of the airport security guards and hurriedly ran to the underground parking lot.

Cheng Er was very surprised, he didn't expect that he went abroad and came back to find that Li Tang was so popular, it was simply the treatment of a first-line star.

He immediately began to secretly rejoice that there is no director who does not want to use big stars, and the joining of big stars often means that his works can be seen by more people. Of course, big stars are very expensive, and ordinary directors can't afford to hire them at all.

Cheng Er feels very lucky at this time.

"Hey, Brother Li, did you buy a new car?"

In the underground parking lot, Cheng Er followed Li Tang and parked next to a small Sail that is particularly fashionable in Shanghai today.

"No, ask my senior brother Xu Zheng to borrow it."

Li Tang opened the trunk and helped Cheng Er put the suitcase in.

This compact model, which has just been on the market not long ago, is known as China's first family sedan, and to be honest, there is no comfort at all when two big men sit in it, but the slogan is "100,000 cars". In this era when a car is equivalent to a suite, it is still very attractive.

Moreover, Xu Guangtou's car is a top-of-the-line automatic transmission, and the price of the car alone is 125,000, and the license plate plus various taxes and fees are about 150,000.

It is said that with the popularity of "Li Wei as an Official", Xu Guangtou has also become popular. Now fans don't call him Zhu Bajie anymore, and he has become Li Wei, who has played Zhu Bajie.

As the female number one, Xiaopang also received a wave of dividends, and it is said that the price of the commercial performance has directly doubled compared with last year.

Cheng Er sat in the car, put the co-pilot's seat back, and then couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Li, does your company agree to set up the project for the movie?" ”

Li Tang started the car and said with a smile: "You have applied for the fund, can you not set up the project?" I told Sister An two days ago. Oh yes, what are your considerations for the main creators and actors behind the scenes? ”

Cheng Er was pleasantly surprised: "We have already started to build up groups and cast, is it so fast?" ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense, I'm free in the first half of the year, and if it drags on until the second half of the year, I won't be able to shoot."

"Oh!"

Cheng Er responded, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said, "I want to use Sun Li for art." ”

"No problem!"

Sun Li is the art designer of "Criminals" when he was filming last time, and he is a good friend of Cheng Er in the same class, and now he is staying at Nortel as a teacher.

"What about the photographer?" Li Tang asked again.

For directors, the two most important assistants to the creative team behind the scenes are the cinematographer and the art designer. Because these two works best reflect the director's understanding of aesthetics and the language of the lens.

Cheng Er shook his head and said, "I don't have a suitable candidate." ”

In fact, there are good photographers in Shanghai Film Studio, including Zhu Yongde, the current boss of Shanghai Film Group, who is a photographer, but sometimes the more a unit, the more difficult it is to have interpersonal relationships. As a newcomer who has just joined the work for more than a year, Cheng Er may not be able to command the senior photographers in the factory.

"Then why don't you want Wang Yu?" Li Tang thought for a while and proposed.

He and Wang Yu have worked together twice in the two films "Suzhou River" and "Very Summer", and the relationship is very good, and they have always been in contact privately, and Wang Yu is indeed capable, and the camera is very angry.

Cheng Er's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Of course it's good." ”

Compared with him as a rookie director, Wang Yu has long been famous.

Then, without waiting for Li Tang to ask, Cheng Er hurriedly said: "Brother Li, it seems that I have to ask you to help find out about the actor." ”

"Uh......"

Li Tang has not considered the choice of actors, there are only four main actors in "The Third Man", in addition to the male number one brother-in-law He Wei he wants to play, there are also the heroine Xiao Ke, sister Xiao Feng, and Xiao Ke's boyfriend Mr. Lin.

After all, he paid for his own money, in line with the principle of saving and saving, he wanted Xiao Fat to play the role of the heroine Xiao Ke, and the best candidate for his sister Xiao Feng was originally his ex-girlfriend, and Da Bingbing and Xiaoice collided with a full sense of topic.

It's a pity that my ex-girlfriend doesn't have a schedule, and her work is full this year. And in the end, Li Tang is still a little weak-hearted, after all, let Xiaoice Bing play the female number one, and Da Bingbing play the female partner, as if a bowl of water is not even, in case of conflict, it may not be easy to clean up.

And if the actresses who are familiar with each other say that they are suitable, Jiang Qinqin is left. To be famous, to be good-looking, the key people are used to acting in Qiong ballad dramas, and for such a gentle female role as my sister Xiao Feng, she must be able to easily handle it.

As for the role of Mr. Lin, if you can't do it, let Xu Guangtou help.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Tang said: "Okay, I'll contact you when I get back, and you can take a look at the list when the time comes?" ”

"Brother Li, I'm sorry for you this time."

Cheng Er looked grateful, he really didn't have any resources for the rookie director in terms of actors except Li Tang, and when he was filming "Criminals", he was also lucky, so he asked Lou Ye to find Li Tang, and the others were all temporary amateur actors.

Now this "Third Man" will definitely not work if he finds an amateur actor, it must be professional, but in addition to having no resources, he can't afford to hire a professional.

Thinking that he couldn't afford it, Cheng Er asked at this time: "Brother Li, how much does your company plan to invest this time?" ”

Li Tang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Do you think how much you vote is enough?" ”

Seeing Li Tang's relaxed look, Cheng Er said boldly with expectant eyes: "Last time I said a budget of one million, it is really not enough, it is better to invest in it...... Uh, 1.8 million, I guess it's about the same. ”

"To tell you the truth, our company doesn't invest a penny except for providing preliminary preparations and personnel help."

"Huh?"

Cheng Er, who was still full of joy, was stunned as if he had been beaten with a stick, and said weakly for a while: "Then ...... money?"

"Don't worry, I'll invest this money."
