Li Tang took a shower, made a cup of tea, sat on the closed balcony and overlooked the rolling sea in the drizzle, slowed down a little, and saw that the time was almost up, before he lifted his spirits and went downstairs.

Boosting your spirit is a basic skill for an actor, because when acting, you may be tired and lack of sleep will have mental lethargy, but you have to lift your spirits on the set, otherwise you can't get into the character.

This is also why Li Tang has to warm up before filming, on the one hand, to completely move his body, and on the other hand, to make himself more mentally focused.

The place of the dinner was in a large box on the second floor, and when Li Tang pushed the door open and entered, most of the seats were already seated, producer Zhang Dabeard, chief director Wang Rui, action director Ma Yucheng, as well as Li Yapeng, Sun Haiying, You Yong, etc.

"Yo, Li Tang is here!"

Li Yapeng, who was sitting next to Zhang Yashan, hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand to greet him very enthusiastically.

"Brother Duckshed!"

Li Tang walked over and shook hands with him, then greeted everyone present one by one, and sat down next to the chief director Wang Rui.

"Teacher Wang, Cheng Er asked me to bring it with you."

"Xiao Li, you don't have to help him speak. I taught him for four years, and I don't know him yet. If he takes the initiative to let you take it with me, it won't be Cheng Er. Wang Rui said with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, you still know him."

Li Tang didn't feel embarrassed at all, he contacted Wang Rui once during the last press conference, and the chief director may be serious and introverted because he is a teacher. Fortunately, there is a bond between the two, and he just uses Cheng Er to quickly close the distance between the two.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on winning the Venice actor."

"Yo, Mr. Wang, don't say that, it's just the best actor in the unit against the current." Li Tang hurriedly corrected.

Just kidding, the only Chinese actor who has won the Venice Best Actor so far is Yuan Quan's boyfriend Xia Yu.

"Don't just, this honor alone is unattainable for 99% of actors in their lifetime!" Wang Rui sighed.

Like them, who grew up in a special period and whose worldview was formed and happened to be experiencing a honeymoon period with the West, this group of people is generally full of yearning for the West, and of course, they also respect overseas awards.

Li Tang smiled and said, "This time I was just lucky, and Cheng Er also took it." ”

"Cheng Er, this guy ......"

Wang Rui was halfway through his words, and shook his head with emotion. After all, Cheng Er is his student, and the student has achieved so much at the beginning of his career, he is very pleased as a teacher, but at the same time he has envy and even jealousy, in short, his mood is quite complicated.

In the final analysis, this line of work is still an opportunity, and the student Cheng Er met Li Tang, and then obtained his current achievements with Li Tang's support and help. And as a teacher, he is still filming TV series hard, and the key is that he is still constrained everywhere, which is really hard to explain!

However, this did not prevent him from having a good impression of Li Tang. After all, from the director's point of view, I like Li Tang the most for an actor who can invest and has excellent acting skills. If the relationship is good, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Just as the two of them were whispering to the extreme, they suddenly heard Li Yapeng shouting: "Li Tang, what are you talking about?" ”

Li Tang looked up in surprise, as if he hadn't become familiar with him to this point, and this buddy was also familiar with him.

But on the scene, it was not good to show it too much, but said lightly: "I didn't talk about anything." ”

Obviously a soft nail, Li Yapeng didn't seem to feel at all, but acted as a wine commander, raised his glass and said: "I suggest, let's all raise a glass to Teacher Zhang together!" ”

When everyone was about to get up and raise their glasses, they heard Zhang Dabeard say, "Let's wait, Xiao Zhou hasn't arrived yet." ”

Li Yapeng hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Teacher Zhang, when Xiao Zhou came, she was seasick and dizzy, I guess she won't be able to come......"

But before he could finish speaking, he heard a voice outside the door: "Who said I wouldn't come?" ”

Immediately afterwards, I saw the petite Zhou Xun push the door in.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's six o'clock, it's not time yet." Zhang Dabeard suddenly said with a kind smile.

Then he cared: "Are you feeling better?" ”

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "It's much better to sleep." ”

Zhou Xun is undoubtedly the biggest actor in the crew, and as the number one female, the role of Huang Rong can be said to be the most inked heroine among all Jin Yong's martial arts, and there is no one. Even the old man Jin Yong said that whether "Shooting the Condor" can succeed depends on the role of Huang Rong.

So as soon as Zhou Xun entered the door, Li Yapeng hurriedly moved the tableware in front of him, wanting to give up his seat next to Zhang Dabeard's right head to Zhou Xun.

"Xiao Zhou, you sit ......"

It's a pity that before he could send out an invitation, he saw Zhou Xun sitting on the empty seat next to Li Tang.

"It's okay, Brother Duckshed, I'll just sit here."

"Uh...... That's good! ”

Li Yapeng was a little embarrassed, but his ability to adjust was very strong, and he immediately said attentively: "What drink does Xiao Zhou order, or make a cup of hot tea?" ”

"Beer is fine."

Zhou Xun was not pretentious, and directly picked up the beer that Li Tang had just poured half of the beer on the table and poured himself a glass.

Li Yapeng, whose face was a little sneered again, quickly cleaned up his expression, raised his glass and said, "Okay, since everyone is here, let's raise a glass to Teacher Zhang together." ”

The big guys stood up together and raised their glasses to Zhang Dabeard.

Lao Zhang has always eaten this set the most, and immediately smiled and bowed: "Okay, okay, the main creators of our crew are almost all gathered today, but God doesn't help a little, everyone has worked hard." I salute the big guys with this cup! ”

Everyone had a toast together.

It stands to reason that after respecting Lao Zhang, you should respect the chief director. This is the case when filming "Smiling Proud", Lao Zhang is the number one, and the chief director Huang Jianzhong is the second in command, although there is intrigue between the first and second leaders, but everyone is still harmonious on the surface. Including the actors and staff, they all respect Lao Huang very much.

But now Li Yapeng, who seems to be very good at things, deliberately ignored the chief director Wang Rui, and Lao Zhang did not react at all.

Li Tang subconsciously glanced at Wang Rui beside him, and found that this Wang Dao also looked calm, as if he didn't mind this deliberate snub at all. When he found that Li Tang was looking at it, he picked up the cup and gestured to him, and after taking a sip of wine, he also pointed to a plate of blood cockles in front of him: "Li Tang tasted it, this is good." ”

"Oh."

Of course, Li Tang is no stranger to blood cockles, that is, they are scalded with boiling water, opened slightly, and after peeling them off, they are bloody, dipped in sauce and vinegar, and the taste is particularly fresh.

Li Tang had just eaten one and was about to pick up the second one, when he heard Zhou Xun next to him: "When did you arrive, why didn't you say hello?" ”

Li Tang stopped his chopsticks and turned his head and said, "I caught the last boat, and I just arrived." No, I met your assistant when I went upstairs, and she said you were sleeping, and I couldn't bother you. ”

"This girl didn't tell me."

"Is it better?" Li Tang asked softly again.

Because he didn't look at Zhou Xun's face very well, and as long as she was not in good spirits, the bags under her eyes would be very heavy.

"It's fine."

Zhou Xun smiled and picked up the cup: "Come, I would like to give you a glass, congratulations on being shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor." ”

Li Tangle touched the cup with her, pouted in the direction of Sun Haiying, and said, "I'm not the only one who has been shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor, there's another one there." ”

As a result, Sun Haiying's ears were very sharp, and he actually heard it, and said with a smile: "Li Tang, we are competitors now, do you want to have a drink?" ”

"Okay, a toast!"

Li Tang and him are also old acquaintances, and they had a good relationship when filming "Smiling Proud". But this time he found that this guy has changed a lot, and he seems to have a feeling of being on top, no longer like when he was filming "Smiling Proud", he is no longer as good at things and submissive, in short, he seems to have the style of an old cadre.

But I think of the beginning of the year when he just filmed "Father Goes to the City", oh, the TV series now renamed "The Years of Burning Passion" plays the image of an old cadre, and it is understandable that he is too deep in the play. It's just that the time in the play seems to have been a little longer, hasn't it been more than half a year?

Everyone sat together and pushed cups to eat and drink, and Li Tang found that in addition to Zhang Dabeard and Li Yashan, there was also martial arts instructor Ma Yucheng who was also suspected of deliberately snubbing the chief director Wang Rui.

Others, Sun Haiying has always looked forward to the head of the horse with a big beard. Don't look at him, he seems to be a big grin on the surface, but in fact, he is a chicken thief, and he will never take the initiative to say half a word to the other party if he doesn't pay attention to the person who is bearded.

And You Yong and Zhou Xun did not treat Wang Rui differently, and they still have the respect that the director should have.

Seeing this scene, Li Tang couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and he didn't even pretend to be superficial, how much contradiction did this have?

He estimated that Zhou Xun, who had been to the grassland, should know something inside, but it was not easy to ask at the dinner table at this time.

At night, the wind and rain outside became heavier. According to the weather forecast, Typhoon No. 11 this year may hit Taohua Island head-on tomorrow afternoon.

For this reason, Lao Zhang is also worried, September 29 is a good day, depending on the situation, tomorrow's opening ceremony will definitely be postponed.
