After sitting down, Zhang Weiping kept chatting with Jiang Ershao in a whisper, but Cheng Xiaodong asked Li Tang about the moves, characteristics, etc. of Wu's Taiji Thirteen Guns, so it seemed that he was very interested in marksmanship, in fact, there was a nameless and sky-high fight scene in "Hero", that is, sword to gun, and he hadn't thought about how to design this action scene.

About half an hour later, there was movement downstairs, and then I heard the sound of someone coming upstairs.

"Ichimou is back." Zhang Weiping said first.

He and Zhang Yimou have been working together for several years, and they are already familiar enough to hear each other's footsteps.

Sure enough, the next moment, I saw Director Zhang Yimou and an old woman who looked to be in her sixties but was dressed like an old goblin, followed by a young woman in professional clothes.

Seeing Li Tang here, Director Zhang nodded first, and then introduced the old lady beside him to the people in the house.

At this time, Li Tang knew that this old lady dressed like an old goblin was a famous Japanese film costume designer named Emi Wada, and she had actually won the Oscar for Best Costume Design. In Japan and in the whole of Asia, he is definitely the first person in the field of film costume design.

When Li Tang was introduced, Director Zhang introduced that he was "a famous young actor in my country", compared to the previous two bigwigs, as well as Cheng Xiaodong, a famous martial arts instructor who is well-known in Asia, Li Tang is really not enough.

But little Japan definitely didn't have to pick the number of etiquette in public, and the old lady still bowed as before, and said kind words in Japanese such as admiring the daimyo for a long time.

Without waiting for the professional girl behind her to translate, Li Tang also bowed to her and said in Japanese: "Senior Hetian, it's a great honor to meet you!" ”

Almost no one in the crew can speak Japanese, and the old lady does not understand Chinese, so she has to bring an interpreter anytime and anywhere, and it is very inconvenient to communicate.

In fact, Li Tang's Japanese is average, he learned it from a Japanese girlfriend in his previous life, and simple communication is okay, but a little more complicated is a bit blind. Fortunately, he even guessed that he more or less understood the meaning of some of the old lady's words, which was nothing more than praising himself for being handsome, and he would definitely have better development in the future, and he was looking forward to his works.

Li Tang also expressed his gratitude for following the Japanese style, and also expressed his compliments on the Oscars she once won. The old lady was still shy.

Japanese people are sometimes quite cute, just like the Japanese girlfriend he found in his previous life, in fact, she is not particularly beautiful, but the kind of clip sound that comes out when she is happy is really unstoppable, and her self-confidence and satisfaction are bursting.

Director Zhang was stunned for a moment when he listened to it, and only after sitting down again did he say: "Xiao Li, I have long heard that you speak good English, but I didn't expect you to be able to speak Japanese!" ”

Li Tang originally wanted to say that he could not only speak Japanese, but also French and German. But I don't want to pretend to be too much in front of the big guys, lest the big guys lose face, so I just smiled shyly and said: "I don't know much Japanese, so I can only do some simple communication." ”

As long as you think that Li Tang is from Shanghai, it will not be too surprising that he can speak some Japanese, and there are quite a lot of Japanese-funded companies in Shanghai after the reopening, and there are also the most Japanese-funded companies in Shanghai. In addition, the pronunciation of Japanese is a bit similar to that of Shanghainese, so it is relatively easy for Shanghainese to learn Japanese.

Director Zhang likes Akira Kurosawa's "Chaos" very much, so this time it took several turns to invite Emi Wada, the Oscar winner for Best Costume Design, to be responsible for the costumes and character design of the film.

After greeting for a while, Cheng Xiaodong couldn't wait to say: "Director, I just communicated with Li Tang, he has a lot of experience in marksmanship, I want to try it downstairs with him." ”

The role of "Hero" has almost been implemented, and the actor Nameless wanted to find Cheng Long at first, but on the one hand, because Cheng Long was positioned as a martial arts comedian in Hollywood, which did not match the main tone of the movie, and on the other hand, because Cheng Long was too expensive, with the "Rush Hour" series being screened in North America, Cheng Long seemed to be a member of the 20 million club.

In comparison, Li Lian's salary is half cheaper than his. And Li Lian's consistent screen image of facial paralysis and namelessness are also more suitable.

Then the two roles of Remnant Sword and Feixue have also been decided on Liang Chaowei and Maggie Cheung early, and the role of another Remnant Sword Girl Ruyue was given to Zhang Ziyi. After all, Xiao Zhang has now successfully entered Hollywood with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

King Qin found Chen Daoming, who was full of imperial spirit in "Kangxi Dynasty" broadcast last year.

Now there is only one role left in Changkong, originally Jiang Ershao recommended the American Hong Kong actor Donnie Yen, but Zhang Weiping did not nod, on the one hand, Donnie Yen is not well-known in the world, more as a martial arts instructor, on the other hand, Liang Chaowei and Maggie Cheung are both Hong Kong actors, and the role weight of mainland actors Chen Daoming and Zhang Ziyi is obviously not as good as the first two, he prefers to find a domestic actor to play Changkong.

Of course, this is not a dispute between the mainland and Hong Kong, but a dispute over the right to speak. The new picture is obviously a big deal, and Zhang Weiping naturally wants to dominate the right to speak.

It is not difficult to understand why Jiang Ershao looked cold when he saw Li Tang, and his face became a little ugly when he heard the exchange between Li Tang and Cheng Xiaodong. It's nothing more than that if someone else has something real, then Donnie Yen recommended by him will not have an advantage.

Liang Chaowei is the new Cannes actor, Chen Daoming became popular again last year with "Kangxi Dynasty", Zhang Ziyi and Maggie Cheung needless to say, the remaining candidates to play Changkong also need a popular actor. So Erzhang's eyes naturally focused on Li Tang, who played Ling Hu Chong in the popular "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

The key Director Zhang has a very good impression of Li Tang, and he still remembers the last time he heard Li Tang say at the closing ceremony of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival that he was practicing big guns, which undoubtedly matched the character setting of Changkong. So we have today's meeting.

As for why Director Zhang's assistant Zhou Wei was so respectful, it was because Director Zhang had seen a lot of actors, and he didn't take Li Tang seriously at first, until today Zhang took special care in front of the door, and heard that Li Tang was here to interview for the role of Changkong, which made him feel Li Tang's weight.

Originally, Director Zhang wasn't sure how Li Tang's big gun was practicing, but as long as he had a foundation, after all, this was a movie, not a martial arts competition, not to mention that Liang Chaowei, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi, etc. didn't have any martial arts foundation.

Hearing Cheng Xiaodong's words at this time, Director Zhang suddenly became interested and hurriedly said, "Okay, then let's go down and have a look." ”

After speaking, Director Zhang also wanted to say hello to Hetian Huimei next to him and apologize, and let her rest a little. As a result, the old lady listened to the translation and learned that Li Tang was going down to show martial arts, and she actually said that she wanted to go down to observe it.

The old lady also clenched her fists and said to Li Tang: "Dry bar!" (Come on)

There is a small backyard behind the villa, covered with turf, but it is all withered and yellow this season. Cheng Xiaodong instructed the staff to bring over a big gun.

Li Tang took the gun and weighed it, which was about the same as the ash rod he usually practiced, but it was a little shorter, and the total length was about one meter and eight meters, less than two meters.

However, the shorter the gun, the better, Li Tang shook the gun and gestured twice, which was quite convenient.

As the saying goes: as soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he knows if there is one. His marksmanship in the past two years has not been practiced in vain, and Cheng Xiaodong couldn't help but nod when he saw the action of shaking the gun, at least it was not a fake trick.

made him look forward to Li Tang's marksmanship a little more.

So he shouted in front of everyone: "Li Tang, don't play any tricks, come and be real." ”

Li Tang was originally thinking about how to show his hand in front of all the bigwigs, but since he heard Cheng Xiaodong say this, he immediately said: "Director Cheng, since you are real, let's set up a target." ”

"No problem."

Cheng Xiaodong gave another order to the staff, but this guy took out a model dummy from the house, erected it on the lawn, and used a wooden stake to hold it up behind it to prevent the lower plate from being unstable and falling down when poked.

Li Tang first warmed up with a few stretching movements, and then held a big gun in his hand and stared at the dummy on the lawn.

The main focus of the Tai Chi Thirteen Guns is the word "piercing", and at this time, the piercing spear that Li Tang had been practicing almost rain or shine before finally had a place to use.

I saw him take a deep breath, shake the spear flower, and stab the dummy in the head.

One is tied to the eyebrows, two are tied to the hands, three are tied to the shoulders and four are tied to the elbows, five are tied to the chest and six are tied to the knees, seven are tied to the strange python to wear the crotch and walk, eight are tied to the golden rooster nodding indiscriminately, nine are tied to the throat of the silver snake, and ten are difficult to walk back to the enemy.

These ten guns, Li Tang almost did them in one go, and the connection between them was extremely fast. The onlookers were dazzled, only to hear the sound of "tuk tuk", the head of the gun stabbing the model dummy, and the gun did not miss. Especially in the last shot, I saw Li Tang dragging the gun back, and suddenly saw him holding the gun and turning in a circle.

"Click!"

With a loud bang, the gun came out like a dragon, and the head of the gun ran directly to the neck of the dummy model, and directly stabbed the neck, and the dummy's head fell on the lawn with a thud.

"Good!"

Cheng Xiaodong couldn't help clapping his hands, and shouted loudly: "What a move!" ”

Although Director Zhang couldn't understand the doorway, he saw Li Tang's sharpness when he speared, and while the gun did not fail, his power was extremely great. Especially the last shot, which is very ornamental.

"Beautiful!"

He also clapped his hands, and turned his head to ask Cheng Xiaodong: "Is this a return to the horse gun?" ”

Cheng Xiaodong said with a look of certainty: "Of course, this is a real killer move!" ”

As for Zhang Weiping, he was even more smiling, feeling that he had not seen the wrong person, Li Tang, this little guy did have a hand.

And Jiang Ershao, although his face is not very good-looking, he has to admit that Li Tang is indeed a good candidate.

As for the two old Japanese ladies, they were even more exaggerated while clapping their hands while jumping on the spot, not afraid of flashing their old arms and legs at all.

The second update! From six o'clock to now, I haven't even eaten dinner. Cheeky begging for a ticket!
