Chapter 214: Balzac and the Little Tailor

Coming out of the hotel, Zhou Xun said, "I'm sorry, I've delayed your trip." ”

"It's okay, I haven't thanked you yet, such a good thing can still think of me." Li Tang patted the script in his hand and said.

Zhou Xun said seriously: "I was very moved by this script, I haven't tried a role like a little tailor yet." And when I saw Ma Jianling and Luo Ming inside, I thought of you as soon as I saw it. Actually......"

Speaking of this, she looked at Chen Kun next to her a little embarrassed, and said, "Actually, I think you are more suitable for Luo Ming, but Kun'er took the lead." ”

Chen Kun looked obviously a little embarrassed, and said stubbornly: "I'm sorry, Brother Li." ”

Li Tang just took a cursory look at the synopsis of the story, which is to tell the story of two educated youths and the little tailor, the granddaughter of the old tailor in the village. Two young men with good blood fall in love with the beautiful and cheerful little tailor at the same time. Ma Jianling is more introverted and buries her love deep in her heart. Luo Ming was more active and bravely showed his love to the little tailor.

In fact, according to Li Tang's character, as Zhou Xun said, it is more suitable for the role of Luo Ming. The restrained Ma Jianling is closer to the motor in "Suzhou Creek".

It's no wonder that even Dai Sijie said that he was more suitable to play Ma Jianling.

Of course, this is just an appearance from the synopsis of the story, so when he heard Chen Kun's apology, Li Tang smiled and said: "It's okay, I haven't read the script yet, maybe I think it's really more suitable to play Ma Jianling." ”

After saying goodbye to the two, Li Tang did not immediately let Shen Lin drive, but sat in the car and called Zeng Jia first and told her what had just happened.

"There must be no problem with the schedule, Brother Li, what do you think?"

"Of course I had to read the script before I could decide."

"Then I'll inquire about it too. Brother Li, are you leaving now? ”

"Of course I went."

"Then I'll ask the airline and see what the fastest flight can go."

Flights between Beijing and Shanghai are very busy, basically every half an hour, but not necessarily for the same airline.

After a while, Zeng Jia called to refund the originally changed ticket and book a new one.

Li Tang originally wanted to call Fan Xiaopang, but calculating the time, she was in a line class at this time, so he didn't bother her.

……

"Hoo ......"

As the plane circled over Pudong Airport and landed slowly, Li Tang breathed a long sigh of relief, and two hours was just enough time for him to finish reading the script.

I've read the synopsis of the plot before, and he knows that this is a book with a scar literary theme.。

is no stranger to the educated youth Li Tang in both lives, because in his previous life, his parents were educated youths, and then Lao Li and many of Lao Li's friends around him in the original memory are also educated youths.

And their respective understandings of educated youth are different, for example, his parents in his previous life are often full of resentment towards that era whenever they recall the life of educated youth, and portray their life as very miserable.

But Lao Li is the opposite, in his words, even in Jiangxi, he is still like a fish in water, neither hungry nor frozen. The fragrant rice, the fish and shrimp caught in the river, and the game caught in the mountains all made him talk about it with relish. But what he is most proud of is that he married the most beautiful girl among the educated youths and gave birth to a promising son.

Obviously, the life of educated youth depicted by Dai Sijie in the script is similar to what his parents told in his previous life. It is not surprising to find out that Dai Sijie was the first batch of international students to study in France after the reopening, and finally settled down and became a French-Chinese.

Because they are the same kind of people.

Li Tang did not experience that era, although he was born in Jiangxi, he had no memory of that time because he was too young. All his current knowledge of educated youth comes from the stories of his parents and the so-called scar literature that was very popular in the market in the 80s. So he himself didn't have much say in that era.

Moreover, the life of educated youth described by Dai Sijie is deep in the mountains of western Sichuan, which is certainly not as good as Jiangxi, the land of fish and rice.

And the biggest reason why this script did not disgust Li Tang was that Dai Sijie did not blindly complain, but just used that crazy era as the background, and used a relaxed and humorous attitude to use this heavy history as the object of good-natured ridicule.

The violin-playing Ma Jianling described in the script eventually became a musician in France, and Li Tang felt that Ma Jianling might be Dai Sijie himself. And "Balzac and the Little Chinese Tailor" may be a kind of memory or fantasy of his youth.

When the plane landed at Pudong Airport, it was already in the early lights, and no one picked up the plane, so I called a taxi back to the city.

"Yo, big star, Jiaoguan Chenguang (for a long time) didn't come!"

Walking into the small Cantonese dim sum shop, the boss greeted him warmly.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Alone, just get a little."

"Old wine is going to be eaten?"

"Don't ask for it, get a cup of herbal tea."

A plate of beef fried pho, a cage of shrimp dumplings, and a beautiful soup are enough to fill the hungry belly, thinking that Xiaopang is still struggling to lose weight at this time, Li Tang packed another brine platter, ready to drink two more sips when he was harassed by Xiaopang's phone call at night.

When I got home, I had just taken a shower, and Xiaopang's call didn't come, but Zeng Jia's call came first.

"Brother Li, I've inquired clearly. "Balzac and the Little Chinese Tailor" was indeed a bestseller last year in France, and the Film Film Company, France's third-largest film production and distribution company. In fact, they started casting very early, and it is said that they targeted Zhang Ziyi from the beginning, and Zhang Ziyi also agreed at that time, and at the same time put forward a condition to designate Xie Tingfeng to play one of the leading actors. But then I don't know why it didn't work out, I think it's probably because of the salary. Later, I found Zhou Xun......"

Li Tang didn't expect Zeng Jia to feed back the relevant news so quickly. Li Tang listened to Zeng Jia's introduction on the phone, and the only thing he was sure of was that Dai Sijie dared to go to Zhang Ziyi at the beginning, and it must have been not bad money.

As for Zeng Jia's speculation that it didn't work out because of the salary problem, the problem may lie with Xie Tingfeng. Think about a Hong Kong little transparent egg with a salary of millions, no matter how popular he is, in Dai Sijie's eyes, it will definitely be very different from the image of the educated youth he has experienced and witnessed.

locked Zhang Ziyi for the first time, in addition to Zhang Ziyi's current super popularity and international popularity, another big factor is that Zhang Ziyi's image of Zhaodi in "My Father and Mother" should be very consistent with the little tailor in the script.

"Brother Li, have you read the script, how do you feel?" Zeng Jia then asked.

"Uh, the script is okay."

"Then do you mean to pick it up or ......?"

Zeng Jia's meaning is obvious, since he thinks the script is okay, such a good opportunity should not be let go.

Li Tang pondered for a while before saying, "Take it, but this matter is not in a hurry for the time being." ”

Zeng Jia on the other end of the phone really had a heart-to-heart with him, and immediately said: "Understand, take a look first." ”

The reason why Li Tang considered taking over this drama was that the script was really good, on the other hand, there was Zhou Xun's face here, and of course, the most important thing was the salary.

He is short of money now, and since this crew is not short of money, it is estimated that he can negotiate a good price.

"The Third Man" threw more than one million, although Li Tang is now looking forward to being shortlisted for overseas film festivals, it is best to be awarded an award or something, and then it can be sold at a good price, but Sun Tzu's art of war has a cloud: to do anything must consider failure in advance, and then consider success and interests. So he is now mentally prepared to lose money or even lose money, and now he wants to make more money.

He hung up Zeng Jia's phone, and Fan Xiaopang's phone called.

"Who did I call, I didn't call for a long time."

A little girl in love is always wary.

"It's Jiajia, I'll discuss things with her."

"You didn't call me when you left, and then when I called you, the phone was turned off, and I knew you were on the plane." Chubby said in a complaining tone on the phone.

"I'm afraid to disturb your class."

Xiaopang snorted twice on the phone, reluctantly accepting his explanation, and then asked, "By the way, what is Zhou Xun looking for you?" ”

"Oh, she introduced me to a play, and I met with the director and the producer in the afternoon."

"Cameo?"

"No, it's the male number one."

"Wow, really? Movie or TV series? Chubby was surprised.

"Movie."

“……”

Hearing the word movie, Chubby's heart was sour. She has just tasted the taste of the movie, and to be honest, it feels very complicated, on the one hand, the movie does not have the high intensity when filming a TV series, but it pays special attention to excellence, and every shot has to be repeatedly discussed and adjusted. As an actress, she had the feeling of creation for the first time and experienced the so-called art that the film represents. Because of this, she especially likes this feeling and is especially looking forward to being able to appear on the big screen.

But this kind of opportunity is too few for me, but Mr. Li took the initiative to find a movie. At this time, she was not jealous, because she knew that her level was far from Li Tang, but it was sour.

"Oh, it's boring, when will I get a chance to make a movie!"

"Don't worry, work hard now, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

That being said, Chubby's current agent Chang Jihong is deeply bound to Hai Run, and Hai Yan happens to be a TV drama production company, if Xiao Pang wants to move to the big screen, it will not be easy to do it, unless his own ability is particularly outstanding and has box office appeal.

The second more, cheekily ask for a ticket!
