Drunk, a bit long.

Li Tang, who was sweating profusely, went to flush again, probably because part of the alcohol in his body was excreted with the sweat, and the whole person was much more comfortable.

"Hey, you really don't plan to take on the show for half a year?"

Chubby is now on the rise, and for a female star, the most precious thing is time. Half a year is enough for her to shoot two films, and what is lost here is not only the salary, but also the exposure. If a female star has no works for a year or two, it is easy to be forgotten by the audience, and if she makes a comeback, she will be outdated at first glance, and everything will have to start from scratch.

Xiaopang frowned and said: "It still depends on the casting situation, if I am selected this time, I am ready not to take the show for half a year, if I can't be selected, ......"

Xiaopang didn't go any further, competing with a few newcomers, if he failed, it would be really embarrassing.

However, Li Tang still agrees with Xiaopang's decision, as a long-term actor, he should focus on quality rather than quantity. Just like the big stars of Hollywood's 20 million club, they basically take one drama after one or two years, and if there is no good script, it is possible to take one drama in two or three years. On the one hand, they are picky about the script, and on the other hand, it often takes more than half a year for them to prepare for a play they receive each time, gain weight and lose weight, get familiar with everything about the characters, explore the hearts of the characters, and so on.

Chubby doesn't want to talk about his own affairs, annoyed. was originally a well-known Haiyan drama, but she also spent a lot of energy to prepare, but it turned out to be dumb, this is still because of the reason of force majeure, no one feels good, but she has to accept it.

She then diverted the topic and asked, "How about you meeting today, have you chosen the leading actors?" ”

Although Li Tang knew that the list of eight achievements thrown out by Zhang Dabeard today was the final candidate, he still shook his head and said: "Today is for everyone to get to know each other and get acquainted with it, and the list of actors has to be discussed with Lao Zhang and the chief director." ”

"Hey, if Mr. Zhang asks you to play Yang Kang, you will play Yang Kang, why don't you fight for the male lead?" Chubby said again.

"Uh...... This is not easy to fight for, and besides, I don't like the character of Guo Jing either. Li Tang said.

To be honest, Li Tang felt that he was far inferior to Xiaopang in terms of career initiative. For example, if you change to yourself this time, you may give up, why should you compete with a group of newcomers, and you don't have no filming. If you really don't have a good script, you can find it slowly, and you can't make it.

Xiaopang said: "You are stupid, don't you fight if you don't like it, this is Jin Yong's drama!" ”

Saying that, she picked up her script and said: "Actually, I don't like the peace of mind in this either, but Sister Hong said that this book is better than the one I filmed last year, so I must fight for it." ”

"What's the peace of mind?"

"Oops, it's the character in this book, a girl named Anxin. Hey, look, it's just right to help me come up with an idea. ”

"Let it go, I'll watch it tomorrow and go to sleep."

Haiyan dramas are very popular, but Li Tang doesn't like Haiyan's works very much, except for the earliest "Plainclothes Police", and then even the popular "Never Look Away" a few years ago, including "Your Life is So Amorous" played by Xiaopang, he feels very hypocritical, sticky, unpleasant, and tired to watch.

The next morning, Chubby went out early. may be that during the filming of "The Third Man", Li Tang was always complaining about her lines, and she was stimulated, and after returning to the capital this time, she specially asked the company to help her find a teacher of Chinese opera, and take two half-day line classes every week.

Li Tang got up in the morning and ran around, and practiced the big gun for a while. The climate in Beijing in May is very good, unlike Shanghai, which is always wet. And there is a yard where he can practice guns as he pleases. There is no such condition in Shanghai, when he lives in the city, he can only go to the nearby park to practice, and there are often onlookers, and as his popularity grows higher and higher, it is impossible to go to the park to practice guns, and he can only find a closed place, which is very troublesome.

After sending away Xiaopang, he made a pot of tea, and when he was bored, he picked up the script of "Jade Guanyin" and looked at it. I didn't expect this to look in.

At first, he thought it was an urban love story of polyamorous love, but as Anxin recalled the past, Li Tang suddenly discovered that this was a flashback and interlude writing technique, revolving around the life-and-death love and feud between a policewoman named Anxin and three men.

An An in the story is a very contradictory character, she is not only a law enforcement officer, but also a woman who longs for love and passion, and the men around her can't grasp her, but willingly go forward for her.

To be honest, Haiyan's descriptions of the police profession often have a strong authenticity, which has something to do with the fact that he was once a police officer. But he is always too pretentious and sticky when describing the relationship between men and women, which is what Li Tang dislikes the most.

From this script, Li Tang couldn't see a trace of content that he didn't like, but instead portrayed the character of Anxin extremely realistically, vividly, and flesh-and-blood.

For a whole morning, he sat there without moving, read the script of nearly 300,000 words in one go, poured a sip of tea that had already cooled, looked at the jujube tree outside the window that had already produced small fruits, and the picture of his imagination kept flashing in his mind, and peace of mind had been replaced by the face of Xiaopang.

But gradually, he frowned, because the woman described in the script who was calm on the outside but turbulent on the inside (commonly known as "sullen"), accepting the arrangement of fate but living a strong life, really couldn't connect with the real-life chubby he knew.

He instinctively imagined Anxin as Yuan Quan's appearance, or the image of his ex-girlfriend could barely get it, but he just couldn't imagine Anxin as chubby.

At this time, he can probably understand that Haiyu Company did not include Xiaopang as a candidate for peace of mind at the beginning, and the so-called casting may be a formality to appease Chang Jihong.

But he has to admit that the character of Anxin is too well written, the absolute heroine, and the emotional entanglement with three men, to put it mildly, these three male characters are all serving the character of Anxin.

At this time, he finally understood why Xiaopang did not hesitate to compete for this role for half a year, and if he was Xiaopang, he would definitely do the same, just like he competed for the role of Linghu Chong last year.

The previous recognition was an attitude of an actor, but the understanding at this time is the pursuit and ambition of being an actor.

"I'm back!"

The door of the small courtyard was pushed open with a bang, and Xiaopang walked in with steps that his relatives did not recognize.

"I'm here."

Li Tang, who was sitting in the East Wing restaurant, answered.

Chubby walked in and saw him sitting at the long dining table with his eyes straight, the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts, and he couldn't help but say, "What are you doing?" ”

When she saw the script next to her, she immediately smiled and said, "Yo, how do you feel about reading the script?" ”

"Very good!"

Li Tang looked serious, and then said with some curiosity: "Why don't you like the character of Anxin?" ”

Xiaopang sat down, picked up Li Tang's teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and as soon as he drank it, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What kind of tea are you drinking, it's too bitter!" ”

The tea brewed in the morning, without refilling, soaked all morning, was cold and bitter.

"Anxin is the same as this tea, it's too bitter, so I don't want to be a person like Anxin."

Li Tang nodded, of course he also understood why Xiaopang didn't like this role and had to play it, before he thought that Xiaopang was just a gamble, but after reading the script, he knew that the character of Anxin was too good, even if he didn't like it, he still wanted to play.

At this time, he hesitated and said, "But...... I don't think you can play the role of Anxin. ”

"Why?"

Xiaopang was surprised at first, but immediately said very unhappily: "Why do you say that I can't act, am I not as good as those fledgling girls?" ”

In terms of age, Xiaopang may be younger than the newcomers in her mouth, but there is no way for her to debut early, and those who are less qualified than her have to call her: "Sister Bingbing!" ”

Li Tang looked at the unconvinced little fat with a face full of disbelief, and after looking her up and down again, he said, "If you really want to play this role, you have to put in a lot of hard work......"

"Why don't I work hard?"

Xiaopang defended: "I'm taking a line class now, and I plan not to take on the role for half a year, just to fight for this role, and I also plan to learn taekwondo." ”

Anxin in the script is a taekwondo master, and he won the provincial taekwondo championship when he was in middle school.

Li Tang shook his head and said: "This is not enough, if you really want to fight for this role, you must first change your image." To lose weight, you have to lose weight first. ”

"Huh? I'm now 105 pounds. ”

Compared with her peak of 138 pounds, she is indeed thin enough now.

Li Tang still shook his head and said, "It's not enough, at least you have to lose ten catties." ”

It's definitely not enough, Anxin is a girl from the southwest border, and being thin is Li Tang's first impression of this character. Xiaopang's biggest disadvantage now is that she is a typical northern girl with a big skeleton, and her height of 1.65 meters is considered tall among the vast group of Chinese women with an average height of 1.58 meters.

There is no way to change her height, so in order to fit the character, she must be thin.

I have to lose ten pounds, and I won't be a paper person.

Before Xiaopang could speak with a shocked face, Li Tang continued: "Not only do you have to lose weight, you have to learn taekwondo, you also have to learn to cook, learn to do housework and clean." Anxin is a very strong and very capable person, hard-working is something engraved in his bones, and you can't do it yet. ”

One sentence blocked all of Xiaopang's rebuttals in her mouth, she had already read the script several times, and naturally understood what Li Tang meant. She was full of thoughts about how to play this character well, but as for the details that Li Tang said, she ignored them, or limited to the cultural level, she couldn't understand the character more deeply from the script.
