Chapter 242: On the Island

On September 28, Li Tang flew from Beijing to Ningbo early in the morning, and then drove to the Baifeng Ferry Terminal.

It is very troublesome to go to Peach Blossom Island, you have to take a ferry from Baifeng to Dinghai in Zhoushan, then from Dinghai to Shenjiamen, and finally take a ferry to Peach Blossom Island.

Unfortunately, this day is unfortunate, Zhoushan has been suffering from violent storms and rains in the past two days, and the sea surface is very windy and rough, and it is said that this year's No. 11 typhoon is about to make landfall in the Zhoushan area.

When Li Tang arrived at Baifeng Wharf, the ferry had already been suspended, and when it would open depended on the specific weather conditions. There is already a backlog of vehicles on the dock, but fortunately, the crew has coordinated with the ferry company, and the actors can take the green channel, that is, as long as they set sail, they can leave immediately without queuing.

In this case, Li Tang could only wait at the pier, but fortunately, the rain and wind weakened slightly at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the ferry sailed. Li Tang took the ferry alone and set foot on Zhoushan Port.

"Teacher Li!"

There are crew members at the dock who are responsible for docking. This little brother saw that Li Tang was alone, and he deliberately looked back.

This little brother looks a little familiar, and it is estimated that he has been in the crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" before.

Seeing this, Li Tang smiled and said, "Don't look at it, I'm alone, it's hard work!" ”

"Oh, it's not hard!"

The little brother was surprised and inevitably a little flattered,

Because in the past two days, he has received many star actors, such as Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng in the morning, they are all hugging each other, and the docking is their assistant, and I love to ignore them.

Speaking of which, except for Zhou Xun, Li Tang is probably the most popular actor in the crew at present, and his popularity is much higher than that of the male No. 1 Li Yashan. And in the eyes of these behind-the-scenes practitioners, Li Yapeng is just an idol actor, and Li Tang has just won the award in Venice and was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, which is a proper strength coffee.

So shouting "Mr. Li" is definitely well deserved.

There is a van parked on the pier dedicated to picking up and dropping off actors who have landed on the island.

After getting in the car, Li Tang asked, "How is the ferry situation at Shenjiamen?" ”

The little brother said: "There are speedboats and car and passenger ferries over there, but the speedboats will definitely not be able to drive in this weather, only car and passenger ferries, and the time will be longer." ”

In fact, Li Tang did not have many scenes on Peach Blossom Island, and he was very scattered, and this time he came mainly to participate in the opening ceremony held on Peach Blossom Island.

Zhang Dabeard is always like this, he does not give up any opportunity for publicity, and a drama often has to do several opening ceremonies. The main reason is that the crew invested a lot of money this time, and a large number of filming spots such as Huangyaoshizhuang, Guiyunzhuang, Lin'an Street, Niujia Village, and Nandi Palace were built on the shore of Sanhua Lake under the Big Buddha Rock on Peach Blossom Island.

At this time, he is still thinking about the promotion of "The Third Man", which will be released on October 5, and he is most afraid that he will be trapped on the island and unable to get out, which will be troublesome.

It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Dinghai to Shenjiamen, and on the way, Li Tang and the crew have a general understanding of the situation. For example, he was the last one to go to the island today; The current conditions on the island are relatively difficult, and the hotel built by the local government specifically for the reception of the crew is still being renovated and has not been completed, and the actors and crew can only live in the hotel on the island at present, which is similar to a homestay.

When I arrived at the Shenjiamen ferry, the wind and rain gradually began to increase again, just in time for the last ferry today.

When I was about to arrive at the Peach Blossom Island Wharf, I saw from a distance that there were several cars parked on the wharf and many people gathered. At first, Li Tang thought that he was waiting for the ferry back to Shen's house.

As a result, when he got off the ferry, there was a flash of flash, and even several cameras were aimed at him. In the crowd, Zhang Beard took the lead and greeted him with open arms.

"Li Tang has worked hard!"

The two hugged each other, and looking at the scene in front of them, Li Tang couldn't help but tease: "Teacher Zhang, today's scene is really big enough!" ”

"Haha, you're a big star now, it's different. These are all reporters who are here to cover tomorrow's opening ceremony, and I will say a few more words in a moment. ”

In fact, there is no need to take care of it with a big beard, and Li Tang will not give up such an opportunity. Just kidding, "The Third Man" is about to be released, how can it be possible to give up such a good publicity opportunity.

However, he later learned that Zhou Xun, who had gone to the island before him, had a cold face during the whole process when he got off the ferry, and not only refused all media interviews, but also refused all requests for autographs and group photos from island residents.

After finally coping with the interview with the reporters on the spot, Li Tang got into the Mitsubishi off-road vehicle with Zhang Dabeard.

"You kid is really a chicken thief, it's really three sentences that don't leave your movie, dare me to set up the stage, you kid sings his own play!" Lao Zhang scolded with a smile.

Li Tang smiled and said, "No way, I'm a small business." You have a big business here, I can only rub some oil. ”

After the two laughed a few words, he asked, "Mr. Zhang, did the shooting go well?" ”

As soon as he talked about this issue, Lao Zhang, who was still smiling just now, suddenly lowered his face, and sighed: "It's much more difficult than when filming "Smiling Proud". To be honest, I really regret it now, if only I had let you play Guo Jing in the first place. ”

"Don't, Teacher Zhang, don't say that." Li Tang hurriedly said.

At the same time, he glanced at the driver who was driving and signaled to Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang waved his hand and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce to you that this is my new assistant Xiao Qi, a graduate of Nortel's photography department, and is currently studying in the crew." ”

Driver, Li Tang didn't pay attention to it at first, but now after listening to Lao Zhang's introduction, I understand that this assistant is not ordinary, he is a person that Lao Zhang trusts and is cultivating.

At this time, the driver immediately looked at Li Tang sitting in the back row through the rearview mirror and greeted with a smile: "Teacher Li, hello!" ”

"Oh, Xiao Qi, hello!"

While Li Tang responded, he took a closer look sideways, this guy looked a few years younger than him, and he was quite handsome.

However, looking at Lao Zhang's sad face, and then contacting the news about the crew of "Shooting the Condor" during this time, Li Tang estimated that it might be much more complicated than the previous "Smiling Proud" crew.

At the beginning, the crew of "Smiling Proud" had nearly a month of martial arts training and script reading, which allowed the actors to have enough time to run in before the start of filming.

But "Shooting the Condor" is different, there is less time for running-in, and it will inevitably be filmed when it comes up, and there will inevitably be problems. But it's okay to just have these technical problems, but what I'm afraid of is the complexity of interpersonal relationships. To be honest, Li Tang didn't know the bottom of his heart at this time, after all, most of the main actors were unfamiliar faces except for Zhou Xun, Jiang Qinqin, and Sun Haiying, who played Hong Qigong. Especially the male No. 1 Li Yashed, listening to Lao Zhang's tone, it seems that he is very dissatisfied with this goods. But now it's been almost two months since it was turned on, and it's definitely unrealistic to change people like last time.

Thinking of this, Li Tang could only shake his head secretly.

The car soon stopped at the door of a seafood restaurant, which is a four-storey self-built house, the first and second floors are restaurants, the third and fourth floors are accommodation, newly renovated, and it is the best homestay on the island.

As soon as he got out of the car, the assistant named Xiao Qi diligently helped Li Tang move his luggage off the car, and insisted on helping him send him upstairs.

"You take a rest and come down at six o'clock to have dinner together."

There is no elevator in this kind of place, and Li Tang's room is arranged on the fourth floor.

I happened to meet Zhou Xun's assistant on the stairs.

When filming "The Little Tailor" last time, the two sides were already familiar with each other. The little girl was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Brother Li, you are here!" ”

"Well, what about Sister Xiaoxun?"

"Sister Xun was a little seasick when she came, and she fell asleep in the house."

Hearing that Zhou Xun was sleeping, it was inconvenient to disturb, Li Tang's little assistant waved his hand and continued to go upstairs, but it was the little Qi who smiled at the little assistant flatteringly. The little assistant also politely shouted: "Little Brother Qi." ”

The crew is a small society, and the rank is extremely distinct, it is also an assistant, Zhou Xun's assistant status is detached, Xiao Qi is also not bad, he belongs to Lao Zhang's people, and he may have more real power.

Li Tang didn't care about this, and went straight upstairs to his room.

B&B, the conditions are just like that, but the room is quite big, and there is a balcony to see the sea in the distance.

"Thank you, Xiao Qi." Li Tang thanked Xiao Qi who helped him carry the suitcase.

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Li, it's all as it should be."

Saying that, Xiao Qi introduced himself again: "Teacher Li, my surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Qi." Everyone is called Xiao Qi by the way. ”

"Oh, I see, I'm sorry, I thought your surname was Qi."

Li Tang suddenly realized at this time that maybe it was Xiao Qi when Lao Zhang introduced him before, and he heard it as Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi said shyly: "Actually, my name is taken from my parents' surname, which is the same as your name." ”

Yo, I inquired quite carefully.

It seems that Lao Zhang, the new assistant, is still quite self-motivated.

"So, we're quite lucky."

Since people are self-motivated, Li Tang naturally doesn't want to be too cold, so he shook his hand with a smile.

Xiao Qi suddenly blossomed with joy and said busily: "Teacher Li, if there is anything, you can tell me." ”

Anyway, people are still quite interesting, and they took the initiative to leave after saying goodbye without too much disturbance.

It was too hot and the update was late.
