Li Tang sent Cheng Er downstairs to his house, and said to Cheng Er, who was still in a daze and undigested: "Okay, go home and take care of the jet lag, and talk about anything when you wake up." ”

Cheng Er swallowed his saliva, he didn't know what to say for a while, and it took a long time to burst out with a sentence: "Eh, do you want Brother Li to go up and sit down." ”

When he first went to work the year before last, he bought this house of more than 70 square meters near the subway entrance of Xinzhuang, and the price at that time was less than 3,000, which has risen a little in the past two years, about 3,500. Originally, he thought that if he had no money to make a movie, he would sell the house, but now with Li Tang's sentence "I invested this money", all the problems have been solved.

He didn't know what to say at all, and at this moment he really understood what the so-called "great kindness does not say thank you" meant, as if any words were empty and could not express his gratitude to Li Tang at this time.

"Forget it, don't disturb your rest, I still have to return the car." Li Tang shook his head and politely declined his invitation.

If it was a beautiful girl's invitation, maybe he would gladly accept it, what is there to sit on the two old men, do they fight bayonets?

Leaving Cheng Er's community, I found a car wash stall to wash the car, and then went to fill up the oil. Since you have borrowed someone's car, no matter how good the relationship is, you must have a basic attitude.

drove back to the unit and returned the car to Xu Guangtou.

"Yo, Ga Zao, I thought Nong Ming would be able to pay it back."

"Big guy, what's the arrangement lately?"

Xu Guangtou was very clever and said with a smile: "How can it, what kind of good things can be taken care of?" ”

"Nong just said that there is air logging?"

"Are you free or not, what do you want to see?" This product is still on the shelf.

Not enough, he immediately said: "The courtyard plans to rearrange "Shang Ying", and the performance will start in June. ”

The Drama Center was formed by the merger of the Shanghai People's Art Theater and the Youth Drama Troupe, and people like Xu Guangtou are still accustomed to calling the center a courtyard to demonstrate its legitimacy.

"Shang Ying" is a classic traditional drama of the Drama Center, similar in nature to "Teahouse" by Beijing Renyi, which has to be rearranged every few years, and is very popular.

Xu Guangtou is currently the best choice for the second male lead in "Shang Ying", and he has participated in two rehearsal performances before.

"That's not a big problem, I got a movie here, and there is a role of the second male lead, help string it out."

Hearing that it was a movie, Xu Guangtou's eyes suddenly lit up, although he had participated in the filming of several movies before, but they were all in a tricky nature. Don't look at the fact that he has acted in two hit male number one TV series, but for actors, the big screen is the biggest yearning.

"What movie? What about the script...... Hey, Nong is talking about movies? ”

In addition to the excitement, Xu Guangtou was a little unconscious.

Li Tang explained: "Cheng Er got a script, and this trip got funding from the HBF fund of the Rotterdam International Film Festival. ”

Don't look at what he said lightly, but Xu Guangtou knew the risks very well, and couldn't help but say: "Nong is bold, how much did you vote?" ”

"Hundreds of thousands, Cheng Eryi also has some money at home, let's get together together."

Saying that, Li Tang said with a smile: "So now it's time to save it, please help the big guy, what about the salary, a little more interesting, okay?" ”

"In the end, it's a big family, a spicy hand!"

Xu Guangtou gave a thumbs up, nodded and said, "It's no problem to help, but you have to show me the script first." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it in two days, and I just happened to meet with director Cheng Er."

"Well, call Chenguang."

Seeing the back of Li Tang leaving, Xu Guangtou felt a little mixed in his heart, and there was both envy and jealousy in his eyes. He always felt that his little junior brother was lucky, but he didn't expect that he would dare to invest in movies.

It is said that being an actor is a passive profession, and whether or not you can meet a good role depends on luck, but I didn't expect the little junior brother to take this step bravely and learn to make his own decisions.

After standing there for a while, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and for a long time he only had envy, but he had no qualifications for jealousy. I don't have the financial resources, let alone the courage.

……

The old apartment on Wuyuan Road was cleaned thoroughly inside and out before the New Year, and it was still very clean after more than half a month.

Mainly during the Spring Festival until now, the weather has been bad, ticking and falling rain non-stop, the advantage of falling rain is that there is less dust in the air, and it is not easy to accumulate dust at home.

Li Tang sat at the desk in front of the window, flipped through his notebook and recorded various preparations, as the largest investor, he didn't want to fake others in everything, after all, the water in this line of work is too deep, and if you are not careful, you will be pitted in no direction.

But he couldn't write it anymore halfway through the book, because it was too complicated, and if he really cared about everything, he simply stopped acting and could only be a producer wholeheartedly.

At this time, Li Tang was particularly envious of Lou Ye, as a director, he was a hands-off shopkeeper, except for filming, everything else was left to Nai'an. It is precisely with the great butler of Nai'an that he can create without distractions.

And what about his own Nai'an?

In desperation, Li Tang could only call Zeng Jia.

Zeng Jia was very happy here, saying that she would come over tomorrow, and Ney had already greeted her before.

Photographer Wang Yu has no big problem, because when Li Tang went to him to pay New Year's greetings a year ago, Wang Yu was still worried that he didn't have a big job in the first half of this year, and he had to shoot an advertising MV or something.

In terms of actors, Xu Guangtou is basically no problem, and now there are only two roles left, the heroine Xiao Ke and her sister Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng's scenes are very few, they are of a cameo nature, and they can be filmed in three or four days at most.

Jiang Qinqin is also easy to discuss, they were originally close friends who have been talking on the phone for a long time, and when they learned that this movie was actually invested by Li Tang, Jiang Qinqin was surprised and generously said that she didn't want to be paid, and made a cameo appearance, just let him have a meal when the time comes.

On the contrary, Li Tang was a little hesitant in the selection of Xiao Ke, originally Fan Xiaopang was of the right age, and given the relationship between the two, he might still be able to prostitute for nothing, but ......

Xiao Ke, a psychologically ambivalent brain tumor patient, is suspicious, sensitive, and paranoid. This kind of character needs an indifferent expression, cold dialogue, and at the same time extremely explosive. It is precisely because of this that the acting is too exaggerated, and if the acting is less, it is facial paralysis.

He worries that with his current acting skills, he may not be able to control such a role.

In fact, there are not no candidates, such as Zhang Ziyi, whose fierce expression in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is undoubtedly the best candidate in Li Tang's mind. It's a pity that I can only think about it, it's not realistic at all, people have already gone out of China and mixed with Hollywood, and it is said that he is currently partnering with Brother Cheng Long to shoot "Rush Hour 2"

There is also Yuan Quan, this girl has nothing to say about her acting skills, but unfortunately since she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress, the film appointments have continued. Before the Spring Festival, he also heard Xia Yu say that this girl took on three more TV series in one go this year, and there must be no schedule, and it is estimated that the salary will not be less.

After thinking about it, Li Tang still called Xiaopang, hey, no one answered.

Li Tang sketched on the paper, writing about the actresses he knew, and it stands to reason that there are many actresses who have worked with him, such as Wang Yan, Miao Yiyi, Chen Lifeng, Ma Xiaoqin, etc. In contrast, Ma Xiaoqin is nervous and a good candidate, but when she thinks of the person behind her, she still thinks about it.

At this time, Chubby's phone called.

"Why did you miss me?"

"Well, I'm looking for you."

"What's the matter? I was just talking to someone with Sister Hong, and my phone was muted. Chubby explained by the way.

Although Li Tang didn't ask, Xiaopang's explanation made him feel a lot more comfortable at once. And it was this psychology that made him throw away the last trace of hesitation in his heart, and said: "That, I have a movie here, and I lack a heroine......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Chubby exclaim on the other end of the phone: "Movie!" Heroine! True or fake? ”

The second update, the number of words is a little less, and I will make up for it tomorrow.
