"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm not late, are you?"

From the door came a black girl, with long hair and a shawl, high heels, small trousers, and a short coat of lamb's wool, which looked very fashionable.

When Li Tang heard the prestige, he was faintly excited in his heart, because this was the person he had really had face-to-face contact with in his previous life.

He was younger and thinner than he remembered, and his voice didn't change much.

In his previous life, he met at a friend's party, and his friend introduced him to the other party's title as a famous domestic actor, director and writer, and it was said that he was quite powerful in China back then. Now she lives in California with her boyfriend, who is several years younger.

However, what made the Chinese circle talk about the most at that time was the love affair between her and the writer Wang Shuo. What kind of junior is on top, Wang Shuo praised her for her debut......

The only remarkable thing is that this girl is still more affectionate and righteous, and she also helped Wang Shuo buy a house when he lost power and was embarrassed, which is said to be many years after the two broke up.

As for Wang Shuo, for a period of time, the Chinese circle in the United States was very popular, and the people who pursued him were all those who came to the United States after the late 80s and early 90s, especially those from the northers and those who had studied and lived in Beijing. I heard that they were all deeply influenced by Wang Shuo, and they also claimed that Wang Shuo influenced an entire generation.

may be because of age and region, whether it is in his previous life or now, Li Tang has no feeling for this famous writer who has now gone to the United States, and he has not seen him, but he only knows that Feng Xiaogang's screen famous work "Party A and Party B" is his work.

"Not late."

Zhang Baibai got up with a smile and said, "Jinglei, come, I'll help you introduce ......"

"No introduction!"

Xu Jinglei first shouted "Lao Liu" affectionately to Liu Zhan, and then beckoned to Gao Yuanyuan, they were all mixed in a circle, and they had worked together, and they were all old acquaintances. It's just that Xu Jinglei has deeper qualifications, a higher rank, and is also known as a talented woman. In contrast, Gao Yuanyuan is still just a rising star, and she is out of the circle with her beauty, more like a vase.

She took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Li Tang: "Li Tang, hello! ”

"Mr. Xu, it's a pleasure to work with you." Li Tang shook her hand.

"Yo, don't dare to be a teacher, everyone calls me Jinglei, don't be polite!" Xu Jinglei smiled heartily.

Her smile is casual and full of affinity, and it can be seen that her emotional intelligence is very high, so it is no wonder that she can be in the Beijing circle. It is said that the one who used to have this kind of treatment was the teacher who had worked with Li Tang in "Little Li Flying Knife".

Then Xu Jinglei greeted Teacher Fan Wei and the restrained boy one by one, and then sat next to Gao Yuanyuan, and the two chatted quietly, looking like a pair of close sisters. It's just that Li Tang has never heard her mention the other party in the process of contact with Gao Yuanyuan.

Interestingly, when Xu Jinglei sat down, the boy's peeking object shifted from Gao Yuanyuan to Xu Jinglei, on the one hand, it may be that people are popular stars, and on the other hand, it may be that adolescent boys prefer mature women.

Just like Li Tang had a crazy crush on his high school female teacher at this age, a large Yanma from the Germanic peoples in his early thirties, blonde, plump, and already with two children.

However, Xu Jinglei glanced at Gao Yuanyuan without chatting a few words, and said in surprise: "What about the tiger?" ”

Tiger is a flamboyant nickname, and now it's his nickname. I have already said that this role was written by Liu Zhan according to Zhang Yang, and he was originally going to play it, but Li Tang felt that it was not suitable to recommend Xu Guangtou, and he did not hesitate to make a deal with Xu Guangtou.

It's just that Xu Guangtou is too busy to squeeze out time to participate in the script reading, but fortunately, he doesn't have too many scenes, and this role is enough for him to control.

Zhang Baiyi hurriedly explained: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, the tiger is not very willing to act. Teacher Li Tang helped recommend Mr. Xu Zheng from the Shanghai Drama Center, but there was a conflict in the schedule, so he did not participate in the script reading. ”

"It turned out to be Teacher Xu Zheng!"

I have to say that today's Xu Guangtou has become quite well-known with Zhu Bajie and Li Wei. Of course, in the circle, he attaches more importance to the title of Best Actor at the Magnolia Award.

The Magnolia Award here refers to the opera and drama awards, although they are local awards, they can definitely be called the two highest awards in the opera and drama industry along with the national Plum Blossom Award in the circle.

At this time, Xu Jinglei called Xu Guangtou's "Teacher Xu Zheng" not only polite, but also a recognition and respect for the Magnolia Award for Best Actor.

Li Tang also explained: "He can't come to participate in the script reading, and the lines of the role of Tiger will be replaced by me for the time being." ”

"You're going to replace you......"

Xu Jinglei looked surprised, then smiled, and deliberately said in a Wanwan dialect: "It's quite interesting!" ”

Why is it interesting?

Jianbin played by Li Tang and Xiaohui played by her are a young couple who have drifted north for seven years, and the male No. 2 tiger played by Xu Guangtou, whom Li Tang wants to replace, is Xiaohui's suitor, and the two also have ambiguous emotions. It's always weird to play both roles at the same time while reading a script at the same table. And although it is just a script reading, it still tests the acting skills and line skills.

Li Tang just shrugged his shoulders at her with an indifferent face, the little actor of the Venice International Film Festival, where is this.

Don't look at the fierce Chinese opera and Nortel in the capital, excluding the director and other behind-the-scenes professions such as photography and recording, Nortel is definitely the first-class in Asia, as far as the performance profession is concerned, Chinese opera has a natural sense of superiority over Nortel, including the same in the opera.

There is also a complete chain of contempt here, that is, the Chinese opera performance department despises the performance department of Shangju, and the opera despises Nortel, and Nortel despises the performance department of other art academies. As a graduate of the Department of Drama Performance, Li Tang has integrated into the memories of his original body, and occasionally subconsciously reveals them.

In fact, for the fact that Chinese opera despises the opera, the drama does not admit it. It's just that the predecessor of the play is called the East China Branch of Chinese Opera, which is a bit hard to get up. However, this does not prevent the two families from despising Nortel together.

As for Coran, who also didn't come, it was also because of a conflict in working hours, so he took a day off and could arrive tomorrow.

After waiting for a while, Li Tang took advantage of the gap between chatting with Liu Zhan, took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, it was already ten o'clock and five, and the agreed time of gathering at ten o'clock had passed.

He was a little unhappy when he was late, but at this time, Xu Jinglei, who had been talking and laughing with Gao Yuanyuan, suddenly raised her head and said to Zhang Yibai, who was looking at the time anxiously: "Director Zhang, who is that?" The shelf is so big, let everyone in our big room wait for her! ”

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, it should be there soon." Zhang Baibai said continuously, and at the same time nodded apologetically to Li Tang and Fan Wei.

Just as he took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the hallway.

Zhang Baibai's eyes lit up suddenly: "It's here!" ”

Sure enough, I saw a beautiful girl running over in a panic, and when she saw Zhang Baibai standing at the door, she hurriedly apologized: "Director, I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road......"

Zhang Baibai also looked bad, but the other party was the girlfriend of the gold owner, and he couldn't afford to offend, so he could only beckon: "Xiao Wang, come in, a few teachers have already arrived." ”

"Oh, good!"

As soon as the girl entered the door, she bowed and apologized: "Teachers, I'm really sorry to keep everyone waiting." ”

Li Tang looked up, his eyes inevitably lit up, there is no doubt that this is a very beautiful girl, her skin is very white, her appearance is sweet, a small cherry mouth and a pair of big watery eyes, I feel pity! 、

Xu Jinglei glanced at the girl, perhaps because she saw the other party's fair complexion, her eyes swept over, and the corners of her mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Gao Yuanyuan also wanted to glance at this girl, but then shifted her gaze to Li Tang, and saw that she was still looking at this girl, she couldn't help but snort secretly, feeling very unhappy.

This girl not only made the pretending honest old fan look sideways, but also made the little boy who had been peeking at Xu Jinglei before instantly ignore Xu Jinglei's existence, his eyes were slick, and he kept peeking at this girl.

And this girl didn't come alone, she was followed by two assistants. Two assistants, in this year, is definitely an exaggeration. So I saw one take out a water cup from his bag, and the other hurriedly handed over the script. No need to ask, one is a life assistant and the other is a work assistant.

"Sit down, it's not too early, let's introduce myself first." Liu Zhan said without pretense.

The investment of two million was originally brought by him, and he is an old acquaintance with the construction boss, so he is naturally familiar with the girlfriend of the construction boss.

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

The girl hurriedly responded, and then bowed to the people present: "Hello teachers, my name is Wang Li, I am a newcomer, and I will ask you to criticize more in the future." ”

Although Wang Li was late, in general, Li Tang had a good impression of her, of course, her beauty was the main reason, and the key was that she was sweet and not aggressive. And the attitude is quite good, not to take Joe, not to twist, to look like a little sheep.

To be honest, when he saw Wang Li just now, Li Tang felt a little emotional. Although he and another investor have not yet met, the construction boss's face image is always the kind of uncultured, pot-bellied, rude manners, etc. I really can't connect with this beautiful, sweet girl in front of me.

It's still the same sentence: good cabbage is arched by pigs.

When Wang Li finished introducing herself, the scene fell into an eerie silence. Everyone knows that this person is the owner of the money, such as Xu Jinglei and Gao Yuanyuan, even if they are unhappy with this person, they will not show it to their faces, and the best way is to pretend to be silent. As for Lao Fan, he seemed a little embarrassed, while Li Tang was more of a holder.

Just as he opened his mouth a hundred mouths and was about to play a round, Leng Buding heard the little actor who played the deaf and dumb boy suddenly come out: "My name is Hu Qiang, and I play Da Ming in the play." ”

Obviously, this kid is mustering up the courage to respond to Wang Li's self-introduction.

It's just that as soon as his voice fell, Xu Jinglei laughed out loud.

The scene was inevitably a little embarrassing, and Zhang Baiyi hurriedly said: "Except for Xiaohu, several Xiao Wangling present should know each other, right?" ”

"Well, I know."

Wang Li nodded hurriedly, and at the same time looked at Li Tang, and said excitedly: "Teacher Li Tang, I am your fan, and I especially like your play." It's been a great honor to work with you this time! ”

Everyone turned their eyes on Li Tang, and Gao Yuanyuan had a hint of banter in her eyes.

Li Tang had no choice but to smile and say, "Okay, okay, don't be polite, I hope everyone has a happy cooperation." ”

"Ahem, since everyone knows each other, let's get started......"

Zhang Baibai, as the director, first came to an opening remark, which was nothing more than a show of determination and mobilization.

The arrangement on the first day was not to read the script, but to interpret the content of the script by screenwriter Liu Zhan after everyone got to know each other.

To be honest, he did write a bit of this book...... Well, it can't be said to be profound, but the writing is biased towards prose, which makes it a bit difficult for some people with low literacy to read.

Li Tang doesn't care about this, because whenever he takes on the next scene, he must understand the characters thoroughly before filming, and sometimes even memorize the lines of the opposing actors together, so that he can adapt to the situation when performing, and at the same time, it is also to better cooperate with the other party. This is also a long-term habit he has developed in stage plays in his previous life.

Although Liu Zhan's script is suspected of showing off and deliberate, it is not difficult for Li Tang to read it thoroughly, as long as he does not deviate from the overall theme, he feels that there is no doubt.

However, Xu Jinglei argued with Liu Zhan on several issues in the script, which seemed to be quite similar at first glance, but after careful analysis, it was found that it was some trivial things, which did not conflict with the theme at all.

This is probably the so-called "talented girl" character she maintains. But this kind of fight for the sake of fighting, this so-called "talented girl" is more or less a little wet. But one thing is still certain, that is, this Xu Cainu's handwriting is really good.

In contrast, Gao Yuanyuan and Wang Li, including the adolescent Hu Qiang's child, listened to it in a fog. Gao Yuanyuan and Hu Qiang's children don't have many scenes, even if they don't understand it, it is estimated that there is no big problem through the script reading in the next few days.

But Wang Li is in trouble, although her role is the second female lead, her role is not much less than that of the female number one Xu Jinglei. If you can't even understand the script, then it's probably enough to shoot.

Fortunately, this girl is very serious, and she has been writing and drawing in her notebook, recording something.

……

"Li Tang, Yuanyuan, see you later!"

After the first day of work, Xu Jinglei waved goodbye to Li Tang and Gao Yuanyuan, and then jumped into a Toyota Prius parked on the side of the road very freely.

No wonder she can buy a house for her down-and-out ex-boyfriend, this black girl is indeed quite rich. This year, the Toyota Prius, the world's first hybrid car, and the shape is also quite trendy. Although the displacement is not large, the unit price of imported cars is as high as more than 360,000 yuan, and it is in the early 400,000s, which is about to catch up with the Audi A6.

But there are bigger ones, Wang Li, who was with two assistants, didn't seem to care about Xu Jinglei's snub to herself, and after saying goodbye to Li Tang and Gao Yuanyuan warmly, she got into a white BMW 520.

Seeing the car leave, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly said in a voice to Li Tang: "Teacher Li Tang, I am your fan and I like your drama very much." It's been a great honor to work with you this time! ”

After cooking and asking for advice for a while ago, the two had already become acquainted, and Li Tang's eyes suddenly widened: "Speak well!" ”

She is learning Wang Li's tone to speak.

And Li Tang finally figured it out, because Wang Li was his fan, when the construction boss invested two million, in addition to asking Wang Li to play the female number two, he also designated Li Tang to play the male number one. In this way, the two happened to have a rivalry, and it also satisfied Wang Li's desire to chase stars. Of course, more importantly, there is nothing out of the ordinary between the two in the play.

Li Tang knew that he had been fooled by Zhang Baibai and Liu Zhan, so he not only found himself to act, but also brought money into the group. Although it is useless to be angry, I still feel very depressed in my heart.

It's also his own carelessness, these people in the capital have always been good at cheating, and he has to ask Zeng Jia to check the contract again to see if there are any traps or anything in it.
