Chapter 292: Rumba

The ex-girlfriend who had just arrived in Hengdian two days ago received a call from Li Tang, and almost jumped up with joy, and rushed back overnight after asking the crew for leave after filming the day's scene.

"You two sleep in my room, don't worry, the sheets are fresh. I went to the study for the night. ”

In the middle of the night, the two sisters came to the door, and Li Tang had to give up his master bedroom. There is a small bed in the study, which is used as a guest room, but it has not been occupied for a long time.

As a result, his ex-girlfriend said: "No, Xiuxiu, you go to sleep in the study, I still have something to discuss." ”

As he spoke, he urged Li Tang: "You show me the script." ”

Li Tang didn't go to get the script, but took a few pieces of paper from the desk and handed it to her: "You better take a look at this first." ”

"What?"

The ex-girlfriend took it and glanced at it, and suddenly said in surprise: "This is the biography of the female number two?" ”

"Well, I communicated with Brother Ye in the morning, and he also recognized it."

Regarding Yi Ling's character biography, he also reasoned through the story background and character of the character.

The ex-girlfriend saw it quickly, and was a little dissatisfied: "Why is it so much?" ”

"There are only a dozen scenes in the role of Yi Ling, how many do you want. I advise you to take a closer look, as long as you eat this character biography thoroughly, I estimate that it will be about the same. Li Tang said.

According to Purple Butterfly's script, it is estimated that there will be more than 200 scenes, and of course, a 120-minute movie presented on the big screen may only have 70 or 80 scenes.

Unless it is the kind of scene with a lot of scenes, such as action movies, multi-line narratives, and overlapping time and space, then at least more than 100 or even 200 scenes.

"It's only a dozen scenes, so few?" The ex-girlfriend obviously has a look of unfulfilled desire.

More than a dozen scenes, if it is a TV series, it will be half an episode at most, and if it is fast, it can be filmed in a day. But the movie is different, when Li Tang filmed "Hero" before, he played only two scenes in Changkong, but he repeatedly filmed it for almost a month.

"Don't be too little, if you don't act well, you may only have two or three scenes in the finished film. Of course, if you play well, maybe there will be more. ”

Through the experience of filming "Suzhou River", Li Tang has a comprehensive understanding of Lou Ye's style. He doesn't like to shout stop, you have to have the ability to keep acting. But his big scissors are also very powerful, and the final film of "Suzhou River" was less than one-fifth of what they filmed.

So don't look at the script of "Purple Butterfly" now, there are only about 200 scenes, and when it comes to the official shooting, maybe he will have a lot of whimsical ideas.

Encountering such a director may not be very friendly to stars with tight schedules, after all, with the increase in filming scenes, not to mention the increase in workload, the filming cycle will also be extended.

But for actors who love acting, it's definitely a very enjoyable journey. It will not limit your play, you can act how you want, it is very enjoyable. This is also why popular stars like Wang Zhiwen and Ma Xiaoqin were willing to film with Lou Ye, who was unknown at the time.

Li Xiuxiu may have been tired, so she took clean sheets and quilt covers and went to the study to make a bed, and after taking a shower, she went into the room to rest. In the past, when she was studying in Hangzhou, every time she came to Shanghai, she slept in the study room like this, although it had been almost five years in the middle, she was still familiar with the door, and even had a long-lost sense of intimacy.

The ex-girlfriend was obviously holding back her strength, and she was not happy to sharpen her knife, so she took the characters written by Li Tang and read them carefully, and then picked up the script to study. It was almost early in the morning, and under Li Tang's repeated urging, he went to take a shower, and then went to bed with the script.

Although the two had just dated two days ago, they were lying next to him alone, and the fragrance of the good-smelling shower gel was exuding on his body, Li Tang was inevitably itchy, and his hands and feet began to be dishonest.

"Oh, don't make a fuss, let me see again."

The ex-girlfriend was in no mood with the script in her hand.

"Tomorrow is to meet and talk, don't be so nervous, okay." Li Tang leaned on the side of his ex-girlfriend's neck and grinned.

"You have to talk about something, I haven't read the script yet, how can I talk?" The ex-girlfriend pushed him away.

"Tsk......"

Li Tangton felt bored, moved to the side stupidly, got into the quilt to sleep, and at the same time did not forget to instruct: "Don't be too late, the province will have no energy tomorrow." ”

"Got it."

The ex-girlfriend touched his head comfortably, and leaned over to kiss him on the face: "Good, sleep!" ”

No matter what time he goes to bed, Li Tang will wake up on time at six o'clock in the morning, and his biological clock is very accurate, unless he drinks too much. When I woke up, I saw my ex-girlfriend sleeping in Zhengxiang, and the script was still in my hand.

Li Tang watched it for a few seconds, dispelled the idea of making a move, took the script from her hand, and then got dressed and got up.

At six o'clock in late February, before dawn outside, Li Tang came out of the bathroom after washing, and saw the study door open, and Li Xiuxiu came out of it rubbing her worried eyes.

"Xiuxiu, why are you early? Go back and sleep for a while, I'll bring you breakfast when I come back, and there are soy milk fritters and potstickers. ”

Li Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "My sister wants to keep in shape, and I will make her a nutritious breakfast." ”

Li Tang was a little speechless, what kind of figure did he have to maintain on his ex-girlfriend's bones, but he also understood that he was thin and looked good on camera after all.

"There are milk and eggs in the refrigerator, as well as sauced beef, sauced duck or something...... Oh, I guess your sister can't eat these either, there are no fresh vegetables, what do you want to order, I'll help you buy them back in a while. ”

"No need brother, you go to exercise early, you don't need to bring breakfast, I'll just buy it."

"Good!"

Li Tang went out to exercise in the morning, as usual, along Wuyuan Road to Wukang Road and then to Huashan Road, passing by the gate of Shangxi, and then coming back from Changshu Road, a circle of almost four kilometers or more than five kilometers. After warming up fully, I played a few more sets of punches in the small park next to the old apartment, and called it a day and went home.

When I got home, my ex-girlfriend just got up, yawned and went into the bathroom to wash. Li Xiuxiu came back earlier than him, and he bought all the soy milk fritters and potstickers.

"Brother, it's breakfast, it's all hot. I've warmed up the soy milk, do you want to put sugar? ”

"No, I'll do it myself."

Li Tang washed his hands and took out a small bag of quick-frozen seasoning from the refrigerator, which contained seaweed, shrimp skin, minced mustard, chopped green onions, lard, salt and chicken essence. This is the seasoning that Daddy helped him match the wontons, one small packet after another, and one pack just matches his own bag of twenty small wontons or ten large wontons.

Li Tang put the seasoning into a bowl, tore the fritters into small pieces, dropped a few drops of extremely fresh soy sauce, and then put the heated soy milk, which was suddenly full of aroma, and a bowl of salty soy milk was ready.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Li Xiuxiu has studied and lived in Hangzhou for several years, and even her household registration is in Hangzhou, so of course she can understand that this is salty soy milk.

"Would you like a bowl?"

"Okay!" Li Xiuxiu was very fond of the venue.

Li Tang concocted it in the same way and brewed another bowl.

Two people have a bowl of salted soy milk, and this beef potsticker is fragrant.

After the ex-girlfriend finished washing, she swept away the sleepiness when she first got up, walked out of the bathroom full of vitality, sniffled, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she saw the two of them feasting.

"You two are trying to tempt me, aren't you?"

Li Tang pushed the beef potsticker in front of her: "You can also eat it, and it's not that I won't give it to you." ”

"Cut!"

The ex-girlfriend's self-control ability is still very strong, first drank half a glass of warm water, then a small glass of skim milk, and a large cup of freshly squeezed cucumber juice, boiled eggs only eat egg whites and do not eat egg yolks, a few slices of tomatoes, and a breakfast is over.

"When are we leaving?"

The ex-girlfriend wiped her mouth and asked.

Li Tang looked at the time and said, "It's not too early, it's ten o'clock." ”

"If I knew I could sleep a little more."

The ex-girlfriend walked into the bedroom while complaining, and took out the script and sat on the sofa to study it.

Li Tang thought it was very strange, his ex-girlfriend's so-called nutritious breakfast was warm boiled water, milk and cucumber juice, so he wasn't afraid of frequent urination?

When actors are filming, especially when filming costume dramas, because the costumes are cumbersome, they rarely drink water, so as not to go to the toilet inconveniently.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to see my ex-girlfriend hurrying to the bathroom with the script in my hand. No need to ask, it's definitely big. The mixture of water, milk, and cucumber juice is an absolute cleansing experience!

Li Xiuxiu finished cleaning up in the kitchen and went to the study to make the bed.

"Brother, the weather is bad, and the sheets and quilt covers can't be washed. However, I removed it all and put it on the bed. ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Both sisters love cleanliness, in fact, they just sleep one night, and they don't have to wash it.

After the ex-girlfriend cleaned up in the bathroom, she walked out with a relaxed face and looked at the time.

"Xiuxiu, help me pick up."

"Great!"

Li Xiuxiu came out with a makeup bag to help her sister put on makeup.

Seeing this, Li Tang didn't forget to take care of it: "Don't make it too thick, just a no-makeup makeup is fine, the director mainly looks at you as a person." Also, the clothes are a little more plain for a while. ”

"Got it!"

The ex-girlfriend waved her hand, she has been debuting for almost ten years, and of course she understands this truth. Wearing light makeup not only highlights your appearance characteristics, but also shows a kind of respect.

The car is the crew's car, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, yesterday from Hengdian to Shanghai, all the way for more than four hours, Li Xiuxiu drove his ex-girlfriend over. It's no wonder that I fell asleep last night, it was really hard.

There are almost 20 traffic lights from the old apartment on Wuyuan Road to the Shanghai Film Studio, and the car can't run fast, and it took half an hour on the road, which is enough to drive a motorcycle back.

"Brother Ye, Sister An, sister-in-law, this is Li Binbin, this is Bingbing's sister and executive agent Li Xiuxiu."

All three of them were there today, and there was one more young man with black-rimmed glasses and a shaved head.

Li Tang introduced his ex-girlfriend and ex-sister-in-law.

In fact, ex-girlfriends often appear on the small screen, and everyone knows them. Although Lou Ye didn't watch TV series, he had also watched Zhang Yuan's "Coming Home for the New Year", and he also remembered that this was the girl he saw sitting behind Li Tang's motorcycle in the car back then, and he was quite impressed.

After the introduction, it is indispensable to have a pleasantry.

At this time, Li Tang also learned from Lou Ye's introduction that the little flat head wearing glasses in front of him was called Zeng Jian. The situation is similar to Zhang Rong, who graduated from the Nortel Photography Department and followed Lou Ye to shoot the unfinished documentary "Digital City" when he was a student. also didn't get very happy after graduation, but Lou Ye recognized his ability and called him to act as photographer Wang Yu's deputy this time.

"Xiao Li, have you read the script?"

Lou Ye asked first, and at the same time looked at Li Tang, according to his original intention, the actor was not prepared for the best, so there was a process of understanding. But the script Li Tang has it, and the person is recommended by him.

Sure enough, the ex-girlfriend nodded hurriedly and said, "Director, I've read the script." Well, I've also read the biography he wrote about Yiling, I like the character of Yiling very much, and her love with Situ is very beautiful......"

Of course, the ex-girlfriend came prepared, facing Lou Ye who met for the first time, she was not stage frightened at all, and talked with a confident smile.

Although Lou Ye also had a polite and gentle smile, his eyes glanced at Li Tang who was sitting on the side from time to time, and his eyes revealed helplessness.

The preparations have been so well done that today's dialogue is no longer necessary.

Until his ex-girlfriend finished speaking, Lou Ye didn't open his mouth to comment. Just when his ex-girlfriend was in a nervous mood, he heard Lou Ye ask, "Do you know how to dance?" ”

"Yes, I can dance classical Chinese dance, Western dance, and ballet." The ex-girlfriend was busy.

As a graduate of the Department of Drama and Performance, these are all basic skills, and they are compulsory subjects in the physical course.

"So, you can dance a little bit for us."

"Good!"

The ex-girlfriend hurriedly got up, and in order to facilitate dancing, she took off her down jacket outside, revealing the off-white turtleneck sweater inside.

In fact, Li Tang has always said that she is indeed a bit too much, at least under the outline of the sweater, the figure of her ex-girlfriend is still a little undulating.

The ex-girlfriend stood still in the open space of the room and suddenly asked, "Director, what to dance?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

Lou Ye showed a shy smile and hurriedly instructed Zeng Jiandao: "Xiao Zeng, you play the music, just the disc I brought over yesterday." ”

Zeng Jian found the disc from the table and stuffed it into the CD player.

In fact, just now Lou Ye talked about dancing, Li Tang thought of it, there is a passage in the script from Situ's memories, Situ came to his apartment before the business trip, and at night, the lonely man and widow danced to the music, and then something indescribable happened.

In the thirties, it was all Shanghai, and dancing was a very fashionable thing.

The CD rotates, and there is a subtle rustling sound, which may not be very good.

Immediately after that, there was a prelude to the saxophone and trombone, and as soon as you heard the music, you would know that it was typical of the retro music of the thirties and forties, the tunes of the rumba.

The ex-girlfriend began to slowly twist her body with the music, at first she couldn't let go, the writhing action was a little stiff, and the two arms that were raised one after the other, like a clumsy penguin, of course, a very thin penguin.

Li Tang, who was originally sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, moved at this time, stood up and walked towards his ex-girlfriend, but he did not jump up with his ex-girlfriend for the first time, but stood there as if to act as a bracket, but his eyes never left his ex-girlfriend.

In the script, Situ is a very passive person, although the script does not specifically describe that the two are dancing like this, but Li Tang feels that it should be Yiling who takes the initiative, and music and dancing are the preludes to seeking pleasure.

Fortunately, my ex-girlfriend also remembered that there was such a paragraph in the script, maybe her understanding was not as profound as Li Tang's, but Li Tang always looked at her affectionate eyes, which made her a little trance-like, but she immediately got Li Tang's intentions.

This kind of emotional communication through eye contact requires tacit understanding, if it is replaced by two completely unfamiliar actors, this kind of scene will definitely not be filmed at first, and it will take a period of cooperation to slowly cultivate tacit understanding.

But Li Tang and his ex-girlfriend are familiar with each other, and Yao Li, one of the seven great singers in Shanghai in the thirties, sang from the loudspeaker: "I can't get your love, like there is no light in the winter night......"

The twisting of the ex-girlfriend's body became more and more natural, circling around Li Tang. Li Tang's hand was on the back of the chair and patting, looking at his ex-girlfriend with a shallow smile.

The ex-girlfriend lowered her head first, and when she approached Li Tang, she raised her head while twisting her body, her eyes met, and she suddenly showed a shy smile, and hurriedly lowered her head, but she couldn't help but secretly look at Li Tang with the afterglow of her eyes.

Finally, Li Tang stretched out his hand to her in her dancing posture......
