When Zhang Baibai saw Li Tang and Gao Yuanyuan coming over, he was stunned at first, and then relieved.

Since ancient times, beauties love talents!

Xu Jinglei and Wang Shuo, Xu Fan and Feng Xiaogang, Deng Jie and Zhang Guoli, Chen Hong and Chen Dadao, and so on are too many such examples.

Gao Yuanyuan is a well-known beauty in their circle, and there are many people like Xiao Tengdao who covet her, but I have never heard of who this girl is good with. Now that the mystery has been revealed, it is not surprising to think about it, the last time Xiao Teng directed Zhang Luo to a party, Gao Yuanyuan stayed by Li Tang's side step by step, and later the two left together.

As for the relationship between Li Tang and Fan Binbin, this kind of thing is too normal in the circle, not to mention that the two have never made their relationship public, even if they get married, when the above few are good, the men can all have families, who calls the hero sad to pass the beauty pass!

He even thinks that Gao Yuanyuan's vision is good, although Li Tang is just an actor, he has already set up his own door, and it has been rumored that the "Third Man" invested by others has made a lot of money overseas, which can be described as fame and fortune. In the words of later generations, people are now capital.

And compared to most people, Li Tang looks dignified. Of course, men, at a certain level, appearance is the cheapest thing. It's about money, resources, background, ability, and so on.

"Teacher Li, Yuanyuan, come on, please take a seat!"

Zhang Baibai hurriedly stood up to greet him, and personally poured two cups of tea for the two of them, and lowered his posture.

The investment agreement for "Subway to Spring" has been signed, the construction company that invested 2 million and Li Tang Studio, which invested 1 million cash and 1 million salaries, each accounted for 45%, and the other 10% went to director Zhang Baibai, which can be regarded as an incentive, which is also proposed by Li Tang Studio. After all, the soul of a movie is the director, which is very common in Europe and the United States. Of course, commercial films with similar big investments cannot have such a high box office share for directors.

To put it bluntly, it is to bind the box office of the movie to the director's income, and when it makes money, everyone is happy; I don't make money, I'm sorry, I can only pay that little hard work.

What's more critical is that Zhang Baibai is ambitious. The success of "The Third Man" overseas is in everyone's eyes, not only because Li Tang won the little actor at the Venice Film Festival, but more importantly, the film was successfully distributed overseas and made money. In fact, it's the same all over the world, whoever can help me make money is my guest.

For example, the French MK2 company that cooperated with Li Tang is inextricably linked to the three major European film festivals. Why can Chief Jia's films appear frequently at the three major European film festivals, and why various awards are soft, in the final analysis, there are overseas film companies behind everyone, and everyone has common interests.

Although Zhang Baibai directed a movie for the first time, it couldn't stop people from having the ambition to become a great director. If you want to become a big director in China, it's very simple to win awards overseas!

Zhang Yimou and Chen Dadao are ready-made examples, and those who can win awards overseas can be called artists. Like Feng Xiaogang, even if the movie is good at the domestic box office, it is not recognized in the circle. The so-called "three major domestic guides" are more of the propaganda of Huayi Brothers, and they put gold on their faces, and they are touching porcelain to say that it is ugly.

To put it bluntly, this time to cooperate with Li Tang, Zhang Baiyi not only likes his people, his money, but also his resources. If this "Subway to Spring" can be unveiled at overseas film festivals, especially the three major European film festivals, Zhang Baibai does not dare to ask for an award, even if it is just an appearance, it will undoubtedly open a door for him, and it will be much easier for him to have works that want to go to sea in the future. When the time comes, when he wins the award, who would dare to call him a little director who is a monk halfway!

People, after all, must have pursuits.

Zeng Jia had already communicated with him on the phone before. In addition to taking over the drama and taking care of affairs, the role of the agent is also an important job, which is that Li Tang is not easy to speak, and all the things that are easy to offend people are done by her.

So after a few words of greeting, without waiting for Li Tang to speak, Zhang Baibai began to introduce the actors and creators behind the scenes.

In addition to the photographer Zhao Xiaoding, he is also well-known in the circle in art design, modeling design, lighting, recording, etc., and most of them have a background in Chinese opera and Nortel.

In terms of actors, in addition to the few who have been confirmed, the subway salesman is Ke Lan, a host of a Phoenix Satellite TV music program, and it is said that he has a deep family background. Ordinary people easily dare not offend.

In addition, Wang Yao is played by Fan Wei, a sketch actor who often appears on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala with Uncle Benshan. To be honest, the circle is a little unkind to sketch actors, thinking that most of them are from wild roads and have no professional background.

When Zhang Baibai introduced, he also secretly glanced at Li Tang's face, and the actor he chose here was both a host and a sketch actor, for fear that Li Tang would not be satisfied.

In fact, there is no money to make trouble, Colan is simply interested in acting, people are not short of money, as long as there is an opportunity, they would rather not have money. And Fan Wei's situation is similar, he is interested in acting, he is a little well-known, and the key salary is low enough.

When it came to Ke Lan, Li Tang did not express his opinion, after all, people have a background, they dare not offend, and they can't afford to offend.

And when he heard Fan Wei's name, Li Tang asked more: "It's the one who played the big fool, right?" ”

"Yes."

Zhang Baibai nodded hurriedly and immediately explained: "I mainly consider that his image is quite similar to that of a chef, and his age is also appropriate." His acting skills are also good, we have tried acting before. ”

Li Tang asked more questions not to question, but to hear Xiaopang mention this big fool before, he played a cameo role in "Jade Guanyin", playing the male number one Yang Rui's cellmate, it is said that when filming this scene, Tong Dawei, who played Yang Rui, couldn't catch the other party's scene.

Except for the sketches of the Spring Festival Gala, Li Tang has never seen Fan Wei's screen image, but this alone is enough to show that people's acting skills are reliable. Combined with Fan Wei's performance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Li Tang naturally appeared in his mind the image of a simple, timid, and a bit of a chicken thief, which matched the character of Wang Yao described in the script.

Seeing that Li Tang was silent, Zhang Baibai inevitably said worriedly: "Teacher Li, you ...... Fan Wei"

"Oh, it's okay, this actor is good."

Zhang Baibai breathed a sigh of relief, and then introduced the actor who played the deaf-mute boy Daming, who was also an amateur, although the role was deaf-mute, but Zhang Baibai's idea was to design this character as a trendy young man.

This idea is quite unique, under normal circumstances, the deaf and dumb as a disabled person seem to be a disadvantaged group in people's consciousness, but this design will give people a sense of contrast. It can also be seen from this that Zhang Baibai does have some ideas.

Li Tang basically didn't have any problems when he heard it, even if there was a problem, such as the female number two, such as the daughter of the ticket colan, but there was no way.

"What about the tiger, does Director Zhang agree to act?"

To put it bluntly, this role is the bad taste of screenwriter Liu Struggle. It is also helpless to ask Zhang Yang to act, after all, it saves money, and Zhang Yang, as a graduate of the Chinese opera director department, has some acting skills. For Zhang Yang, it is purely to catch ducks on the shelves.

Zhang Baibai heard the song and knew the elegance, and after the small eyeball bones behind the thick glasses turned around, he asked tentatively: "Teacher Li, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Hey, that's right, Li Tang especially likes to chat with smart people. So he didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "What do you think of Xu Zheng?" ”

Xu Zheng?

Zhang Baibai's first reaction was Li Wei who played Zhu Bajie, and then he remembered the depressed and strange Lin Mo in "The Third Man".

From his point of view as a director, the actor is undoubtedly very malleable, with good acting skills and the ability to handle different types of roles.

"Of course, it would be good if I could invite Mr. Xu Zheng to play this role. But it's the salary......"

Zhang Baibai wanted to speak and stopped, except for Li Tang's salary of 1 million, the remaining 3 million investment is tight, there is really no extra money to hire professional actors, the key is that Xu Zheng's current popularity is not cheap.

Li Tang waved his hand and smiled: "You don't have to worry about the salary. ”

Since the gold lord spoke, Zhang Baibai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and reciprocated: "That's really unbelievable." ”

After that, the two discussed the work schedule, and the crew met around March 10 for a three-day script reading before the start of filming. As for the start date, it is set on March 15, the second day of the second lunar month, and the dragon raises its head, which can be regarded as a good mouthpiece.

……

"Hey, big guy......"

Li Tang dialed Xu Guangtou's phone, and as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Xu Guangtou on the other end of the phone with a roar: "Book that, I just wanted to call Nong (to you), and Nong called himself, how can it be a coincidence!" Brother, Ronon must help! ”

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't you talk about it on the last trip, "Li Wei is an Official" is going to shoot the second part, and the original team asked Nong to help Bingbing say hello."

"That's right, but big guy, Ga Changchenguang, I thought I wouldn't shoot anymore."

"Oh, the matter (this matter) is not refreshing in one sentence or two, and now it has been decided, and it is ready to start in April and May. Brother, I introduce myself as a director, and you have to support me no matter what. ”

Hearing this, Li Tang roughly knew what was going on, so he deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "How can you?" (What to do)"

"How can that? I directly contacted Yi's agent two days ago, and I just heard back, and Yi said that Yi should not shoot. ”

"Oh, maybe there's a conflict in Chenguang."

"Don't help me pretend to be confused, I'm all refreshed, Yi's current filming of "Jade Guanyin" will end in early April at most, and I just happen to be able to pick it up."

Seeing that Xu Guangtou was not easy to deceive, Li Tang could only say: "Big man, it's not that I don't help." Nong knew that Yi had spent a whole year playing "Jade Guanyin". And I think that after Yi is filmed, don't come out after one twist or two twists (one and a half moments), and you must have a good rest for a while. Nong, how can you do it? ”

He kicked the ball back again.

"Uh......"

Xu Guangtou is also an actor himself, of course he understands what it is like not to come out, but he is unwilling. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Brother, no matter which Nengnong wants to help." Nong, it's not that I don't know, Yue Siying, who played by Xiang Yi in the first part, is always popular, if you change the gossip, the effect will definitely be poor! Brother, don't tell me anything, I'm now all in this drama, it's really a loss! ”

Li Tang understood, it turned out that Xu Guangtou had also invested. "Li Wei as an Official" Zhuyu is in front, Xu Guangtou is such a smart brain must be unwilling, he was almost the executive director when he filmed the first part, but this time he not only wanted to be the director himself in the second part, but also obviously got the main control through investment.

However, when he said this, it was very difficult for Li Tang, and he originally wanted Xu Guangtou to play the second male lead. As a result, his new drama will start in April and May, and he will definitely not be able to get out.

But "Subway to Spring" also has its own investment, and he also hopes to shoot it well. I don't dare to say that I reproduced the miracle of "The Third Man", at least not at a loss.

"Big guy, I can help Nong do the work, but I don't dare to guarantee success......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xu Guangtou say gratefully: "Brother, thank you!" I know that as long as Nong comes out, he will be fine! ”

"Slow down, big man, I'm not going to finish my gossip. Nong listens to me, I do Nong a favor, and Nong wants to do me a favor. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I invested in another movie this time, and on the 15th of this month, there was a café owner who couldn't find the right person, and I thought that Nong couldn't be more suitable. So I want to ask Nong ......"

"No way! Don't be! Brother, Nong knows, I'm about to start a new play now, I don't want to be an actor or a director, how can I run away? Don't be it, brother, don't I refuse to help, I really can't run out. Understand, good felling? ”

Li Tang knew that this matter was very difficult, the key was that this product did not reveal any rumors in advance, Li Tang only knew that this product had been tinkering with the French drama "Art" recently, and there was nothing to film, so he thought of letting him play the tiger. As a result, he said everything, but people couldn't come, this faceless is still a trivial matter, the key is that he really feels that it is inappropriate to publicize it.

So he pretended to be unhappy and said: "Big guy, this help has come and gone, I'll help Nong, who will help me?" Let's talk about Chenguang not long, at most half a month, how can Nong see it? ”

"Oh, a coffee shop owner, don't you want to come to the next one?"

"Yue Siying, Nong can also find any one."

"How can it be the same, Bingbing filmed the first part, the audience is always happy, the second part talks about the original cast, and the heroine is replaced...... Don't do it! ”

Li Tang didn't want to argue with Xu Baldhead, so he simply said in Chinese: "Big guy, I think this coffee shop owner belongs to you!" It's okay, if it doesn't work, it's not okay, you just order and give a word! ”

"Uh...... Nong is only a red guy, don't be a strong man! ”

Having said that, in the end, Xu Guangtou still gave in, and had to say: "Ge Monong showed me the script first...... Don't worry, gossip is refreshing first, Nong will help me get Bingbing. Otherwise, gossip, everyone will break up! ”
