Chapter 263: Self-Reliance?
"What do you mean by corporation?"
I forgot about the expiration of the contract, even if Nell has been busy with Lou Ye's new movie this year, but such a big company shouldn't forget about it. Li Tang even felt that maybe the company didn't want to renew the contract with him, and Nell was embarrassed to speak, so he dragged the matter down.
As a result, Zeng Jia said with an embarrassed face: "The company asked me to remind you before, but I forgot it without paying attention, and I only remembered it now." ”
"Uh......"
Li Tang looked at Zeng Jia speechlessly, it turned out that the problem was you for a long time. But after thinking about it, this matter doesn't seem to be very reasonable, how can such a big thing be forgotten with Zeng Jia's work style, and it has been so long.
Thinking of this, Li Tang's eyes changed, and he looked at Zeng Jia meaningfully: "Jiajia, tell me, what do you think?" ”
Zeng Jia, who dared to say and do things on weekdays, hesitated at this moment, facing Li Tang's direct gaze, his eyes were even a little evasive, and he hesitated: "Originally, I thought that you might leave the company, so I deliberately didn't mention it, I wanted to see it." ”
"What do you do if I do leave the company?" Li Tang asked with interest again.
Zeng Jia said without hesitation: "Of course I'll go with you." ”
This answer is expected, after all, only Zeng Jia, as her executive agent, has a sense of presence in the company, otherwise she may be an ordinary publicity person.
Li Tang smiled again: "I haven't found a good home now, how do you say I left the company." ”
Zeng Jia blurted out: "Don't we have our own studio, we can stand on our own!" ”
This studio is quite accidental, originally opened in order to invest in the drama "The Third Man", in order to avoid some unnecessary procedures and tax problems, the name is Li Tang Studio, with a registered capital of 100,000 yuan, similar in nature to individual industrial and commercial households, to put it bluntly, it is a leather bag company.
Then Zeng Jia said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Brother, I've calculated, let's recruit another experienced propagandist, an accountant, and an assistant for you, and the studio will be completely operational." ”
Zeng Jia's proposal made Li Tang stunned, he had never thought of setting up his own door before, because in his thinking, professional things have always been handed over to professional people.
is like when filming "The Third Man", he is the main investor, and it stands to reason that he has the absolute right to speak, but when filming, he still listens to the director as he usually films. Even if there is a disagreement, he will discuss it with Cheng Er, and often rely on Cheng Er's opinion.
In a word, because the director is professional.
The same is true for the agent, who chose Ne An as a stopgap measure, and once had the idea of changing the agent. But to be honest, the so-called brokers in China are not the ideal brokers in his mind.
After all, the domestic brokerage industry has just begun, and it is not the same as the foreign brokerage industry that has been precipitated for hundreds of years.
A really good agent will help you make a detailed career plan, be proficient in the law, monitor public opinion, know how to help you choose the right script, strive for good roles and high-quality endorsements, and so on.
Zeng Jia is undoubtedly ambitious, and the lack of warning before may have been done by her on purpose, probably because she wanted to take the opportunity to observe her reaction.
But at the same time, Li Tang had to admit that Zeng Jia's proposal helped him open another door. Although he was in a different environment from his previous life, he was still influenced by the thinking of his previous life.
It may be difficult or impossible to stand on your own in the United States, where the acting and agent mechanisms are perfect, but the domestic environment is different, and he suddenly realized that the self-reliance portal is not only feasible, but even a blue ocean. Especially the success of "The Third Man" gave him a taste of sweetness.
At the same time, self-reliance also means that you can have a certain right to speak, not only as an actor who is passively selected, but also as an investor and producer, and can make your favorite movies.
Li Tang had to admit that he was moved, but in view of the seriousness of the matter, he still said with a blank face: "Let's talk about this later." ”
Seeing that Li Tang did not object at the first time, which meant that there was a chance, Zeng Jia's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "I understand, this is a big matter, and we must think about it clearly." ”
How did Sister Hua get up? It's not like he was an assistant to Chen Daoming at the beginning, and then he came to this day step by step. Zeng Jia is optimistic about Li Tang, or she has no choice but to rely on Li Tang to realize her dreams.
……
"Hah-yaw!"
The off-road vehicle was driving on the highway, and Li Tang couldn't help but yawn again.
Seeing this, Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but say: "I won the award last night, didn't I sleep all night with excitement?" Be careful, we have a few lives in your hands. ”
"I wasn't excited, but I really didn't sleep well." Li Tang turned his head and glanced at her.
He didn't sleep well last night mainly because he was thinking about Zeng Jia's proposal, combined with the current domestic environment and the development of the circle, it may be a good choice to stand on his own.
"Then you pull over and drive for me." Jiang Qinqin said uneasily.
"It's okay, I'm going to get to the exit soon."
The highway to Beilun and then to Baifeng Wharf is not much away. In fact, Ningbo is very close to Taohua Island, mainly because it takes more time to divide into two ferries.
Jiang Qinqin was afraid that he would be really sleepy, so she kept talking to him.
When I opened the entertainment news page of the portal today, except for the grand occasion of the closing ceremony of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival last night, almost all the screen was full of news about the two winners of Gong Li and Li Tang. 、
No way, these two are the winners of this year's Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award, and they have a wide audience base. But compared with last year, who already won the Golden Rooster Award for "Beautiful Mother", this time the Hundred Flowers Award actress is more like fried cold rice, Li Tang is a new award. Although it is only the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor, the freshness and topic are still very strong.
What makes Li Tang especially pleased is that these reports more or less mention the currently released "The Third Man", although the current high-definition pirated disc has come out, but no matter how much it is said, it can still boost some of the box office that has fallen into decline, and it will really break through the box office of 10 million if it is not.
The journey was very smooth, and I finally arrived at Peach Blossom Island at noon.
"Haha, Li Tang, congratulations! Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor, well deserved! ”
Lao Zhang had returned to Peach Blossom Island from the capital, and he gave Li Tang a big hug when they met.
"Teacher Zhang, don't say that, otherwise Lao Sun will be unhappy." Li Tang joked with a smile.
"I said the same in front of him, in fact, he was shortlisted this time, mainly because of the light of the theme, and it would be good to get a nomination." Zhang said with a big beard.
I have to say that Sun Haiying was originally carried by him, and Lao Zhang definitely has this qualification.
After greeting for a while, Lao Zhang got to the point and said, "When will you report to the crew of "Hero"? ”
"Maybe early next month, we still have to wait for the notice."
The previous signing schedule with "Hero" was in mid-October, but there will always be various uncertain factors in filming, and the current time to join the group has been delayed for more than half a month.
And when I signed a contract with the crew of "Shooting the Condor" before, this article was also written into the contract. Because of the schedule adjustment of the crew of "Hero", Li Tang's filming schedule in "Shooting the Condor" will naturally face adjustments.
"Then you should hurry up during this time and try to finish filming the scenes on Peach Blossom Island. Maybe by the middle of next month, we'll have to switch sides. Lao Zhang said.
"Understood."
Li Tang nodded, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will definitely not hold back the crew for this little scene." ”
……
"Nianci, why are you here?"
Jiang Qinqin looked at him affectionately.
Li Tang, who was sitting on the sofa, said hurriedly: "Hey, it's very dangerous here, you can go quickly." ”
I have to say that Jiang Qinqin's grasp of inner drama is still very strong, I saw her pursing her lips and looking at Li Tang, and the sparkling waves in her eyes were visible to the naked eye.
Li Tang also looked at her affectionately, and said softly: "You have lost a lot of weight, really!" ”
Jiang Qinqin looked at him silently, tears filled her eyes, and she wanted to drip water. She is used to acting in Qiong ballad dramas, and her biggest ability is to be able to control tears, and she is very particular about when to roll down, every second is not bad, and it is even more rare that tears can even be held back.
I saw her take two steps and walk in front of Li Tang.
Li Tang made a binding gesture with his hands behind his back, and hurriedly rubbed in her direction, hoping that the two would get closer.
"Oh, my dagger is given to Miss Huang, I think my knife will keep sharpening this chain."
This scene is about Yang Kang, played by Li Tang, who was tied up and imprisoned in Guiyunzhuang by chains after failing in the martial arts competition, Mu Nianci came to rescue him late at night, but he couldn't cut the chains, so the two began to complain.
This scene was going to be filmed at night, and in the afternoon, Jiang Qinqin took the initiative to come over to match the words and rehearse it.
Li Tang is not worried about his current situation at all, according to the description in it, Yang Kang is definitely true love for Mu Nianci, and being able to see his beloved at this time, especially when the other party comes to the rescue at great risk, is a great comfort and excitement for Yang Kang.
Li Tang immediately said indifferently: "Don't worry about this." ”
As he spoke, his ass moved twice: "Come on, come on, sit!" ”
Jiang Qinqin still said: "I'm going to steal the key......"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Tang: "Hey, don't go!" ”
As he spoke, he deliberately looked to both sides and lowered his voice and said, "The people here are amazing, you can't beat them." ”
Jiang Qinqin gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll carry you out!" ”
Li Tang straightened his chest and said, "Can you carry me?" ”
Jiang Qinqin looked at Li Tang, looked up again, seemed to be looking at the iron chain tied to the roof, and said hurriedly: "That...... So what to do? ”
I have to say that Jiang Qinqin's attitude towards rehearsals is very serious, and the whole person has almost been substituted into the character of Mu Nianci.
At this time, Li Tang looked very anxious, he thought that Yang Kang should be like this, so he couldn't help but lean his face forward and said, "Then you kiss me!" ”
"Hey, how did you change the word?"
Jiang Qinqin was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
In fact, about the character of Yang Kang, whether it is the original book or the script, the portrayal of this character is too facial, as if this person is born a villain, selfish, ruthless, and greedy for power, but Li Tang thinks that the character of Yang Kang is not bad from the beginning, and even his choice in today's environment should be understandable, the water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place! It's just that in the historical environment at that time, it seemed out of place in the so-called family hatred and national hatred.
But he has always been sincere to Mu Nianci. As a little prince who grew up in the palace since he was a child, he wants to be windy and rainy, and he grew up in the environment of Dajin Kingdom, where etiquette and religion are not developed, and similar behaviors of affection and etiquette do not exist for him, so he is not as pedantic as Guo Jing, but more arbitrary and free.
To like is to like, to love is to love, and not to be bound by the so-called etiquette.
Therefore, Li Tang injected more humanized elements into the character of Yang Kang in the performance, which is in line with the character's growth environment and character, so that the character does not look so facial.
So, Li Tang sat down next to the sofa, got out of the way and beckoned Jiang Qinqin and said, "Come on, come on, I'll help you analyze and analyze." ”
Acting is also a kind of creation in itself.
Jiang Qinqin sat down beside him, and Li Tang analyzed his thoughts in detail.
Jiang Qinqin naturally didn't think as much as he thought, if you think about it before, when she acted in Qiong Yao's drama before, she was used to not even changing a word in the script.
At this time, even though she recognized Li Tang's idea, she still looked at Li Tang blankly and said, "Then how should I act?" ”
"Isn't this very simple, I love you, you love me, normal reaction! Shy, coquettish, and want to refuse and welcome that kind! ”
Jiang Qinqin was embarrassed by what he said, especially when she heard the sentence "I love you", she couldn't help but feel a sudden beat in her heart, and retorted shyly: "Mu Nianci shouldn't be like this, she still bears the blood feud of her father-in-law, how can she be so casual?" ”
"Do you understand the power of love? If it's really like you said, then there will be no Yang. ”
That's right, in the end, the two rolled the quilt together, leaving a posthumous child, and then extended the second part of the "Condor Heroes" trilogy, "The Condor Heroes".
"You make me think about it, otherwise I won't be able to connect with the rest of the lines."
"I'll help you with the staff again."
The two worked on the script together, uh, that literally.
It's just that the two of them were very tight at this time, and at first both of them were looking down at the script, but Jiang Qinqin inadvertently turned her head, and a few strands of hair swept over Li Tang's face, itchy.
There is always a faint fragrance around the nose, and the fragrance is very unique, different from the richness of Chubby and the faintness of his ex-girlfriend. This needs to be savored carefully, and the aroma is light and strong, as if the surface is light, but the inside is very strong.
Li Tang couldn't help but turn his head to look over, the distance was very close, and he clearly saw the faint, slightly trembling fluff on the sideburns, as well as the fair and delicate skin around him, which made him can't help but want to get closer.
The closer you go, the clearer and more intense the aroma becomes.
With a "grunt", the Adam's apple squirmed, and his breathing became rapid......
