"Why don't you tell me about such a big thing?"

When Fan Xiaopang heard that Li Tang had invested in a movie by himself, he actually shouted in a questioning tone.

Li Tang patiently explained: "Cheng Er's side has just received funding from the HBF fund, and if you don't shoot this money, it will be wasted, so let's get together." ”

"And how risky is that? Don't even waste your money then! ”

"So let's work together to make this movie well. Hey, it's nonsense, can you act or not? ”

"Act, of course I did." Chubby said busily.

That is the heroine of the movie, she is excited when she thinks about it, but at the same time she is worried about Li Tang's crazy behavior.

"Well, the money is not much, and the salary may not be much."

To say how ugly it sounds to be a white prostitute, there must be a hint.

Sure enough, Xiaopang said: "Oh, what kind of person are you to me, don't be paid." ”

"It's not suitable, your agent ......"

Before Li Tang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiaopang: "It's okay, I'll talk about Sister Hong." Oh, by the way, when is it about to shoot on your side? ”

Li Tang can't say for a while now, so he can only estimate: "I've just started preparations now, but I must finish filming in the first half of the year anyway." ”

"That's not a big problem, but you'd better hurry up here, I'm going to join the group in June......"

Speaking of this, the little fat on the other end of the phone suddenly smiled weirdly: "Guess what I was talking to someone with Sister Hong just now?" ”

"Take over the play, didn't you just say that you were going to join the group in June?"

"And guess what's the show?"

"I don't know."

The biggest difference between domestic and foreign countries is that the traditional Chinese New Year is the Spring Festival. Now at the beginning of the new year, all walks of life are starting to be busy, and the new year has a new atmosphere. Specifically in the entertainment industry, with the start of a large wave of dramas, another wave of dramas began to prepare. The most popular in these years is nothing more than costume dramas, costume martial arts dramas or Republic of China period dramas.

"Hee-hee, "Youth Bao Qingtian 2", I play the female number one!"

Chubby revealed the mystery, and it was not difficult to hear her smug mood from her laughter.

Last year, the ex-girlfriend, Zhou Jie, and Ren Quan together mainly broadcast "Youth Bao Qingtian", which was very popular, and the ex-girlfriend also gained a large number of fans for this.

I didn't expect the sequel to be replaced?

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that there are always more monks and less porridge in the entertainment industry, and everyone is crazy to grab all kinds of resources. If Xiaopang really grabbed the female number one role in "Youth Bao Qingtian 2", it can only mean that Sister Hong is one step higher than Sister Hua's chess.

Li Tang was secretly glad that he didn't find his ex-girlfriend to play the role of his sister Xiao Feng this time, otherwise he would have to fight.

You must know that robbing the role is actually to cut off other people's financial routes, there is a saying, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents, that is a deep hatred! I really didn't expect the big and Xiaoice ice to be on the right so quickly.

When Xiaopang heard Li Tang silent, he was immediately dissatisfied: "What's the matter, I'm distressed?" Let me tell you that this time it is not her alone, even Brother Jie has changed, Lu Yi plays Bao Zheng. ”

Li Tang understands that today's "Shaobao" is like a piece of fragrant bread, and there are more people grabbing it, and the producer is of course willing to replace Zhou Jie with the more popular Lu Yi. So Xiaopang also picked up the cheap and took the opportunity to squeeze out Da Bingbing.

Big Xiaoice ice ice competes for the same role, and in the end Xiaoice ice wins, which is a good hype topic.

In the past two years, the two most popular actors of the new generation are Lu Yi for men and Xiaoyanzi for women. It's just that there is an obvious difference in the development routes of the two, since the explosion of "Never Look Away", Lu Yi has actually taken the idol route of singing and dancing artists, and the advertisements are very happy, but there are not many works that can really be called. It is estimated that his agency realized this this time, so it did not hesitate to let him play the black and black Bao Heizi.

On the other hand, Xiaoyanzi, everyone has now mixed into the Hong Kong circle, since last year's "Decisive Battle for the Top of the Forbidden City" cooperated with Andy Lau and Zheng Yijian, this time it is said that she is still playing the female lead in Xingye's new work "Shaolin Football".

And last year's CCTV reform, a total of two big dramas with Hong Kong and Taiwan were launched, one is "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which has just been broadcast and is slandered all over the world, and the other is "Deep Love and Rain" cooperated with Aunt Qiongyu.

A big male protagonist, a big female protagonist, the concept of cross-strait and three places.

Compared with Li Tang who was lucky enough to play the role of Linghu Chong, Xiaoyanzi has long been designated as the heroine of "Deep Love and Rain", and the reason why "Deep Love and Rain" was postponed until November last year is said to be to take care of Xiaoyanzi's schedule.

But despite this, Lu Yi's ability to play Bao Zheng in "Shaobao 2" is still a dimensionality reduction attack, and Zhou Jie has no way to compete at all. Sometimes it's helpless to think about it, obviously the acting skills are more exquisite, but you have to lose to a beautiful face.

There's no way that everyone likes to look at faces, as long as you don't pull your crotch too much, the audience is still happy to accept it. For example, Hollywood Tom Tom, Pete. Bradley and others are examples of this.

Including Li Tang himself, he was able to successfully play Ling Huchong, in addition to his acting skills, his appearance must have also played a big role in it.

Li Tang didn't want to entangle the topic of his ex-girlfriend too much with Xiaopang, so he diverted and said, "Hey, don't you want to read the script first?" ”

"Of course I want to watch it, but I believe in your vision, since you are willing to invest money to play the male lead, the script must be bad. I still have some work at hand, and I can't leave for the time being, so I'll come over when I'm busy. ”

Li Tang's heart was warm when he heard this, although Xiaopang occasionally played a little petty, but most of the time he was still more understanding.

So he said softly: "Well, I'll wait for you." ”

Zeng Jia took a flight from Beijing to Shanghai at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and this girl's work attitude is really speechless.

Two hours, more than nine o'clock landing. Li Tang had to go to Xu Guangtou again to pick up the car, and give him the script by the way.

"Book that, my car is like buying it for Nong!"

Although Xu Guangtou's mouth was broken, he still cared: "Don't add any more oil." ”

Li Tang made a goodbye gesture to him and drove away in the dust of Little Sail. Early in the morning, there are a lot of big trucks in the outer ring of G20, especially when crossing the Xupu Bridge, the traffic jam is severe.

When Li Tang drove to Pudong Airport, Zeng Jia was already waiting at the exit of the domestic arrivals.

"Ouch, I'm sorry to wait, there's a traffic jam on the road." Li Tang hurriedly got out of the car to help carry the suitcase.

Zeng Jia took a hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, in fact, you don't have to run in person, it's very convenient for me to take a taxi myself." ”

"Nonsense, I asked you to help, and I embarrassed you to take a taxi. Come, get in the car. ”

Li Tang personally helped her open the car door.

Zeng Jia was a little flattered: "Brother Li, I'm even more embarrassed if you do this." ”

"Hurry up and get in the car, you can't stop here for a long time, the traffic police will come to catch up."

After getting in the car, Zeng Jia first looked at the inside of the car curiously, after all, this new car that was just launched last year is currently very popular. But she didn't ask much, and immediately got into the working mood.

"Brother Li, how far has the work been carried out so far?"

"I didn't start doing anything, just waiting for you to come and help...... Oh, the actors are basically confirmed, here are some of the things I wrote yesterday, you can take a look first. ”

Li Tang handed her a plastic document bag placed between the two seats.

Zeng Jia opened the file bag and took out the paper inside. Li Tang's handwriting is not good-looking, but she pays more attention to what she writes.

It wasn't until after reading it that she asked, "Brother Li, why don't you get paid?" ”

Li Tang smiled: "The money is not enough, it doesn't matter." ”

Zeng Jia said seriously: "This is unreasonable, even if you don't get paid, you can convert it into investment, in this case, your share is higher." ”

"Uh...... Looks like you're pretty confident in this movie. ”

Li Tang really didn't think about it so much, just thinking about how to save money and how to come. Hearing Zeng Jia say this, his heart moved, he didn't understand but didn't expect it, and then he was a little embarrassed: "But Bingbing, and Jiang Qinqin, I have already told them, they are all here to help, don't be paid." ”

"Brother Li, they don't want to be paid, it depends on your face, it is your favor, but it is not the same thing as investment. Including the salaries of all actors, they must be counted. Regardless of whether the movie can make money in the future, the rules must be set first, otherwise no one can say what entanglements there will be in the future. ”

Li Tang was the person who was most afraid of trouble, and when he heard this, he immediately woke up, nodded and said, "Then you draw up a charter first and go back to me." ”

Zeng Jia's arrival made him breathe a sigh of relief. He arranged Zeng Jia in a Jinjiang Inn Express Hotel on Changshu Road, not far from the old apartment on Wuyuan Road, and it was only about ten minutes' walk away.

"You take a rest first, and I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Brother Li, I want to meet with the director as soon as possible and talk about the group."

"Okay, we'll meet in the afternoon."

……

Xiao Ke: Fan Binbin;

Xiao Feng: Jiang Qinqin;

Lin Mo: Xu Zheng.

Looking at the list of actors, Cheng Er couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "Brother Li, this, this...... Really? ”

You must know that each of these three is more red than the other.

"I can't lie to you, don't worry, it's all settled. Bingbing may not come over for a while. My senior brother Xu Zheng has already given him the script here, and he can talk about it at any time if he wants to. ”

As a director, I definitely have to meet and talk with the actors, mainly to reach a consensus on the understanding of the characters.

"In addition, in terms of group gathering, you can connect with Zeng Jia."

As has been introduced before, Zeng Jia is not only Li Tang's executive agent, but also serves as the assistant producer of the crew.

As a director, screenwriter, and one of the producers, Cheng Erba wished he had a helper who could take care of the overall situation, but he was still a little hesitant about Zeng Jia's age.

Because he is also a newcomer, he knows the difficulties of newcomers. But it didn't take long for Zeng Jia's resolute work style to dispel the hesitation in his heart.

Although Zeng Jia is young, he has strong work ability and a tough attitude. What kind of old qualifications and the like are not good in front of her, in a word: can you do it? Can't do it, leave!

To put it bluntly, it is a singing red face, at this time, Cheng Er or Li Tang came forward, sang and sang white face, calmed the emotions of the old comrades, handed over a step, and many things were solved.

By the time the work was almost straightened out, it was already the end of February. On this day, Li Tang suddenly received a strange phone call.

"May I ask if you are Li Tang?"

The tone sounded a little arrogant.

"I'm Li Tang, may I ask ...... you?"

"Oh, I'm Director Zhang's assistant Zhou Wei, please come to us tomorrow afternoon, and I'll send the address on your mobile phone when I get back......"

"Hey, I'm sorry, may I ask who Director Zhang is?"

Li Tang was a little confused when he heard it, his first reaction to the name Zhou Wei was the character in the script of Lou Ye's "Summer Palace", and then Director Zhang or something, he didn't know who it was. Zhang Dabeard likes others to call him Director Zhang, is he Lao Zhang's new assistant?

There was a pause on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and he was obviously unhappy: "It's Director Zhang Yimou who wants to invite you over to talk." ”

"Huh? It turned out to be Director Zhang! ”

Li Tang couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and then hurriedly said, "Tomorrow afternoon, okay, no problem." ”

First update!
