Chapter 290: Pretending Not to Feel
Who said that thirty years old, people are obviously only twenty-seven years old and three months old, okay!
Of course, Li Tang will not argue with his father about these words, according to the custom in his hometown, he is talking about the age of vain. As for getting married, he didn't even think about it, he hadn't been married in his thirties in his last life, let alone now.
And even if you want to get married, you have to have a serious marriage partner. It's definitely impossible for an ex-girlfriend, Xiaopang is actually the same kind of person as his ex-girlfriend, and they are all focused on their careers, even if they want to get married, it's probably too early. As for Jiang Qinqin, she is the type of a good wife and mother, but she doesn't know much about it yet.
Falling in love and finding a partner, just like wearing shoes, may be very tight and close to the feet when you first put them on, but you have to wear them for a while, sunny days, rainy days, flat land, and mountain roads have to run, and it can't be said that it will break down after a few days, or it will become loose and loose after a short time, which is definitely not suitable. It must always fit well, the more comfortable it is, the longer it can be used, even if it is broken on the outside, the kind that can be worn with tinkering.
So let's look at it again, even if you can't get married, wouldn't it be nice to leave a beautiful memory for each other!
Fortunately, Dad just chattered a few words like a routine, and did not force Li Tang to get married as soon as possible. After all, he is not yet old enough to tease his grandson, and since the expansion of the hotel, and the construction of the new city in his hometown is in full swing, business is very good.
Construction, the first thing to drive is the service industry, restaurants, KTV, foot washing houses are thriving, which greatly promotes the farts of local chickens.
Dad also told him mysteriously that last year alone, the profit of the hotel reached a small 500,000 yuan, which is simply a small villa a year!
After the New Year, Aunt Xiao came back with Xiao Xiao on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In Aunt Xiao's words, when Xiao Xiao turns eighteen and is admitted to university, even if her task is completed, she will be regarded as giving her deceased husband an explanation, and then she can marry Lao Li justifiably.
To be honest, a woman like Aunt Xiao is a real good wife and mother. To paraphrase the war film of a Shandong veteran in his previous life, there is a line that says: "She is so concerned about the dead, and she must not be wrong with the living." ”
Lao Li married Aunt Xiao, which can be regarded as having something to rely on in the next life. This is the thing that Li Tang is most grateful to Aunt Xiao and the most happy for his father.
In fact, the role of the father plays a very important role in the growth of the child, Lao Li is definitely a good father, since the mother and daughter moved over, Xiao Xiao is obviously a lot more cheerful, and even with the academic performance has improved a lot.
The county No. 1 middle school she is studying now, oh, now called District No. 1 Middle School, after all, it is only the focus of the district. With her current ranking in the top five in her class and the top 30 in her grade, she may be almost re-handed in, but it is not a big problem to take the exam for Finance University or Huazheng.
Aunt Xiao has always asked her to take the entrance examination to the University of Finance and Economics to study accounting, and the accounting major of the University of Finance and Economics is first-class in the country. In her simple life experience, a person must know a craft to be invincible in order to make a living in society. As for what law major the little girl wants to take, especially for those who came from that era, they always feel unreliable.
Taking advantage of Li Tang's New Year's holiday, Aunt Xiao also asked him to persuade Xiao Xiao.
How to persuade it?
To tell the truth, there is a general trend in society these days to learn from the West, and it is always the same as the United States. What else is the most popular profession of doctors and lawyers abroad, with high income, high social status, etc., will inevitably affect the career choice concept of Li Tang and Xiao Xiao's generation.
How about the United States, Li Tang knows best, not to mention that studying medicine in the United States does not mean that you can be admitted to medical school after graduating from high school, but that you can only be admitted to medical school after graduating from college, and it is basically almost impossible to become a doctor before the age of thirty.
In addition, when it comes to lawyers, the United States is a litigation country, and lawsuits are fought at every turn, and the chicken farts created by litigation account for 6% of the total value of chicken farts in the United States. And this aspect is almost negligible at home, so studying law at home is not a good choice.
In this regard, Li Tang especially agrees with Aunt Xiao's point of view, now that the domestic economy is developing faster and faster, the profession of accounting is very promising, and it is especially suitable for girls.
Li Tang could only break up and crumple what she knew, and analyze it carefully with Xiao Xiao, and the rest could only be chosen by herself. As for the idea that she wanted to be an agent in the future, at first Li Tang thought it was a child's three-minute heat, but he didn't expect this child to be serious, and he studied law in order to be an agent in the future.
In order not to disappoint Aunt Xiao, he had to say that being an agent in China is first of all networking, then business, and finally needs to understand the law. For example, in addition to helping him take over the drama in his current studio, the more important thing is to invest in film and television dramas, so the agent must first understand the economy and understand investment and settle accounts.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, it is the time to rebel, don't look at the usual look very well-behaved and sensible, but in fact, you can't listen to your parents' good words at all, but you are convinced of some fools in society.
Of course, these post-80s generations are basically only children, maybe they won't like to share their parents' pampered younger siblings, but they won't not accept an adorable older brother. Li Tang played this role very well, and successfully moved Xiao Xiao.
It's not a difficult thing to be a broker. In the future, my brother will help you solve it in terms of contacts, you listen to Aunt Xiao's words to learn accounting, and then study economic law, and you will be able to become an excellent broker in the future.
……
The old apartment on Wuyuan Road, the sixth day of the new year.
The weather in Shanghai in the past few days after the Spring Festival is not good, ticking, damp and scraping. The heating and air conditioning in the house was very warm.
Li Tang and his ex-girlfriend were lying on the big bed they had slept in together for three years.
"You said you wouldn't go back for the New Year and wouldn't tell me." Li Tang complained a little.
The satisfied ex-girlfriend looked up at her ex-boyfriend's handsome face, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay, it's very lively for the crew to celebrate the New Year together." I was afraid that you would let me and Xiuxiu go home with you for the New Year, so I deliberately didn't tell you. ”
"What's there to be afraid of? My dad still talks about you a lot. ”
"I'm just afraid of this, your dad was so good to me at the beginning, how do you think I should face it now?"
"That's not because you're weak-hearted, my dad won't blame you. Actually, it's not necessary, you just need to go home with me, my dad understands everything! ”
"Then I'll be even more shameless."
Yes, it's been so many years since we broke up, but we still sleep together, it's really hard to say.
The ex-girlfriend didn't want to mention this, so she diverted the topic and said, "Hey, don't you take it to heart what I told you last time?" ”
"What's the matter?"
The ex-girlfriend pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and said with a roll of his eyes: "You did it on purpose!" ”
Sure enough, the older you get, the harder it is to deceive.
"Don't worry, I've already said hello to Brother Ye's assistant Zhang Rong, and she will be in charge of the casting."
"What about Director Lou Ye's side?" The ex-girlfriend asked uncomfortably.
"I haven't even met him, what do you say? Don't worry, the casting hasn't started yet, and after two days of work, I'll go to the studio to find him. ”
The preparatory team of "Purple Butterfly" is in Shanghai Film Studio, and he is also anxious to meet Lou Ye.
The ex-girlfriend breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Who do you say the heroine will be?" ”
She secretly read the script here with Li Tang, and I have to say that Lou Ye's movies will always be the big heroine, a woman and three men, and the heroine runs through the entire script.
She knew that she had a few pounds and a few taels, and she didn't dare to expect the role of the female number one, but she was always curious in her heart.
"It's hard to say."
Li Tang shook his head, the most popular among young domestic actresses today is nothing more than the so-called "Four Little Flowers" selected by Nandu last year.
Xiaoyanzi and Xu Jinglei, Li Tang ruled out it at the first time, the former lacks acting skills, and the latter's temperament is obviously inconsistent with the characters in the script. And with his understanding of Lou Ye, acting skills and character temperament always come first.
The rest is Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun, if he is allowed to choose, he will definitely choose Zhang Ziyi, who is popular enough and well-known overseas, the key is that Zhang Ziyi has a special lifeless posture when acting, which is very similar to the character of the female number one in the script. The other is freshness, the director is also a scumbag in a sense, and what he pursues is always freshness.
But the problem is that Xiao Zhang has now entered Hollywood, and it is said that the salary starts at one million US dollars, and with the current investment in "Purple Butterfly", he will definitely not be able to afford it. Of course, "Hero" is a special case, Zhang Yimou, as the director who single-handedly lifted her up, there is also a human factor in this.
Then the only thing left is Zhou Xun, who is also popular enough, has good acting skills, and the salary is not high compared to Xiao Zhang. But she has already collaborated with herself on a "Suzhou River" before, and it doesn't mean that it is impossible to work together again, such as Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, who often work together.
But Lou Ye is not Wang Jiawei after all, otherwise he would not have hesitated when Li Tang Mao recommended himself, and he would have to wait until after the audition.
In addition, Li Tang and Zhou Xun had several phone calls a few years ago, but Zhou Xun did not mention Lou Ye's new movie at all, which seems unlikely.
The ex-girlfriend is also a rare day off, and her crew's filming schedule is very tight, otherwise she would not have a holiday during the New Year. And after they finished filming in Chedun Film and Television City, they were about to transfer to Hengdian for filming.
Today, she took the initiative to call Li Tang, in addition to inquiring about the news, but also to relieve the physical and psychological pressure.
……
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, after Li Tang contacted Lou Ye's assistant Zhang Rong in advance, he went directly to Shanghai Film Studio.
When he drove the Happiness 90 and suddenly stood out at the door of the studio, the security guard at the door raised the crossbar without saying a word and let him go, and he didn't need to take off his helmet for artificial "face recognition". may be the only one who has opened a happy 90 in and out of the Shanghai Film Studio, and there is no other semicolon.
"Director Peng, Happy New Year!"
Since he came to the studio, according to the rules, he first visited director Peng Xiaolian.
In any case, director Peng Xiaolian is his Bole, and although the film "Shanghai Chronicle" received a mediocre response, it finally won him the Huabiao Award for Film Newcomer Award and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, which made him gain a firm foothold in the film industry.
"Yo, Li Tang, Happy New Year! Happy New Year! ”
Peng Xiaolian was also very happy to see Li Tang, and hurriedly got up to greet her.
There was also a young girl in her early twenties sitting across from her in her office, less like a visitor, more like a discussion of work together.
Without waiting for Peng Xiaolian to introduce her, the little girl jumped up first and exclaimed, "Wow, Li Tang! Belch...... Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I'm so excited! ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Tang hurriedly waved his hand.
Only then did Peng Xiaolian introduce: "This is Xu Mingxia, from the Chinese Department of Fudan." The new film I'm going to make this time is based on her work. ”
"Hey, it turned out to be Writer Xu, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Li Tang was taken aback when he heard this, you must know that the biggest difference between fifth-generation directors like Peng Xiaolian and sixth-generation directors is that they are accustomed to adapting scripts with literary works. This is also determined by the unique cultural background and social reality.
But the literary works that can enter their eyes are generally famous works, such as Mo Yan, Yu Hua to Zhang Yimou, Wang Shuo, Liu Zhenyun to Feng Xiaogang. I didn't expect the work of the little girl in front of me to be favored by Director Peng, I have to say that it is surprising.
Later, from Peng Xiaolian's introduction, Li Tang learned that this little girl was the winner of the first prize of the first National New Concept Essay Competition, and Director Peng adapted her award-winning essay this time - "Standing on the Tail of a Teenager".
Winning the first prize with this little girl is also the now famous Han Han. It is precisely because of Han Han's fame that this so-called "National New Concept Essay Contest" is well-known to the Chinese people.
Today's Han Han is being praised by the media as a "genius boy" and "a new generation of post-80s pioneers" because of controversial events such as dropping out of high school in his first year, learning is useless, and criticizing the current education system.
Li Tang disagrees with this, as a person who also came from high school, he is very aware of the hardships of high school, although the original body is a scumbag, it does not mean that the original body does not work hard.
Han Han's so-called dropping out of school, he felt that it was more like an escape, and the so-called "uselessness of learning" and "criticism of the education system" were nothing more than excuses for his own escape.
Reading is very important, and it's terrible to be uneducated, these two sentences are really not nonsense. For example, if an actor is uneducated and can't understand the script, how can he create a character. What's more, Han Han chose to drop out of school as a writer, and Li Tang really can't imagine what good works he will be able to write in the future.
Because the original work is just an essay, Li Tang also read this masterpiece with great interest.
This is a typical story that happened in Shanghai, housing tensions, water bill disputes, overseas problems, divorce, etc., all reflect the living atmosphere of the low-level people in Shanghai, and at the same time, there is a little humor in the midst of suffering.
In Peng Xiaolian's words, this is a Shanghai version of "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin". One is the life of the people at the bottom of Tianjin, and the other is the life of the people at the bottom of Shanghai; So one is "it's okay to steal fun", and the other is "pretend not to feel".
I'm a bit of a rush to write today.,I'm sorry.,Just make do with it.。
