In addition to his rivalry with Xu Jinglei and Wang Li, Li Tang is more of a spectator wandering in the subway station and subway, and many shots are shot with his subjective lens, and occasionally he has to act as a background board.

As a bystander, he often finds some interesting details, such as when Fan Wei comes out of the crowded subway, he will stumble, the heel of his shoe is stepped on, and then make a shoe lifting motion. Don't look at such a small action, but a simple, slightly joyful character image appears vividly.

In stark contrast, Co Lan, who played opposite Lao Fan. What did she say? It's hard work, but I always feel like it's too hard, uh...... It's not accurate to say that she is too violent, because only those who have acting skills are called too violent, and she can't talk about acting skills at present, and her performance is very exaggerated. In Shanghai, it's probably a fool. Fortunately, Lao Fan is constantly looking for amends, and the rivalry between the two can barely get by.

On the contrary, it was Gao Yuanyuan, who was not optimistic about it before, who brought a little surprise to Li Tang. She vividly interpreted the role of a photo studio clerk who had just stepped out of school, longed for love, and was bold, brave and strong. Of course, her pure and sweet image accounts for a large proportion, especially when she is in an offensive state, her fierce and powerful gaze has a great contrast with her image, giving people a feeling of being fierce and fierce, and adding a bit of savage girlfriend taste.

“Cut！ Okay, over it. ”

In the subway, a rivalry between Gao Yuanyuan and Hu Qiang, you retreat and I advance, was successfully filmed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Shooting in the subway for more than ten days is really grinding, because to avoid the rush hour of subway operation, it is often filmed until 11 or 2 o'clock in the evening, even if the subway is suspended, it is necessary to shoot in the subway station. And the subway is an open place, and it is often encountered that passengers mistakenly enter the camera, and then they can only be reshot.

The past ten days have really tormented everyone.

"Yuanyuan, Xiaohu, hard work!" Li Tang walked over and said hello.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't say anything, and Li Tang's snub during this time made her very unhappy.

Hu Qiang said repeatedly: "It's not hard! It's not hard! ”

He acted well, and when Gao Yuanyuan's hand touched his hand in the scene just now, the nervous, panicked and happy expression was very vivid. In fact, in the final analysis, he is acting in the same true colors as Gao Yuanyuan, but his performance is more original and completely real. After all, the pure and lovely Gao Yuanyuan is too lethal for them eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys.

However, the little guy was very bright-eyed, knowing that Gao Yuanyuan's relationship with this Teacher Li was not ordinary, so he hurriedly flashed people after saying hello and did not stay as a light bulb.

Gao Yuanyuan raised her head and deliberately ignored Li Tang. Don't look at her not tall, but her neck is quite long, especially when she tilts her head and pulls her neck to the limit, she looks like a proud swan.

She just wanted to put on a posture of "I'm very angry, come and coax me", but unfortunately after waiting for a long time, she couldn't hear Li Tang's voice, and when she looked back, she saw Li Tang sitting there with his head down and sending a message with his mobile phone down.

She couldn't help but be angry, stomped her foot, and sneered: "Brother Li......"

"Oh, you'll be there!"

Li Tang looked up at her calmly, continued to edit the text message, typed the last line, clicked the send button, and then looked up at Gao Yuanyuan again and said, "Something?" ”

“……”

Gao Yuanyuan looked at him blankly, stunned for three seconds, and silently thought in her heart: Don't be angry, I'm not angry. Taking a deep breath, he said aggrievedly: "Brother Li, do you still count as talking?" ”

"What's wrong......

Li Tang was stunned for a moment, then remembered, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Yuanyuan is really embarrassed, I'm really busy during this time, and I really can't spare time for a while, do you think it's okay to wait?" ”

promised the little girl to invite her to dinner, but during this time, because of the filming of the subway scene, he went out early and returned late all day, and today he has promised Jiang Qinqin to go to her for dinner, and he just replied to her text message again.

"Yes...... But my play is about to be completed, and I will rush to the new crew to report soon, when are you free? Gao Yuanyuan pouted.

She had already passed the audition for the crew of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and of course, it was also her agency that helped her to operate the role of the second female Zhou Zhiruo. Because she was angry with Li Tang, she never told her.

"Huh? Oh, you auditioned, congratulations! Congratulations! Li Tang said after realizing it.

Then I can only apologize: "I really can't spare time lately, uh...... Where are you filming this new drama? ”

"Temporarily shoot the interior in Huairou, and then transfer to Hengdian in two months."

"So, can I visit the class when I have time?"

Since he didn't have time to invite someone to dinner, Li Tang could only continue to push back. Not being available is one thing, on the other hand, he also wants to go by, and more importantly, if the two don't stay together, maybe the girl won't be so hot.

"Huh?"

Gao Yuanyuan was very disappointed, but looking at Li Tang's "sincere" gaze, she could only say pitifully: "Then you must speak this time." ”

"Good!"

Li Tang nodded apologetically and solemnly.

……

In the ward, Wang Li, wearing a hospital gown, sat on the hospital bed, and the nurse next to her was unwrapping the gauze covering her eyes. When the gauze was finished and Wang Li opened her eyes, Zhao Xiaoding hurriedly pushed a close-up shot, and saw that she was used to the surrounding light, and suddenly turned her head to look at the lens of another camera.

In the picture, her eyes are clear, and she seems to be filled with endless disappointment......

“Cut！ Okay, over it! ”

Zhang Baibai shouted excitedly.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Wang Li heard the director finally shout, and her whole body suddenly withered. The two assistants who were waiting next to them helped carry the water and put on the clothes, and they were very busy.

It took an afternoon to shoot nearly ten shots over and over again, and it was finally over. Zhang Baibai stood up from behind the monitor, faced the lens of shooting a synchronous documentary carried by the assistant director Mouse, raised one hand, and said loudly: "I announce that "The Subway to Spring" is finished! ”

There was a round of applause at the scene, but the applause was not too warm, just a few staff members around. Most of the actors have been finished before.

There is no way, Wang Li's acting skills are there, although she works hard and has a very good attitude, but unfortunately her talent is limited, and she can't be an actor with a beautiful face.

During the filming process, she can only try to avoid her weaknesses in acting skills, and the most effective way is to push the long shot as much as possible and give more close-ups. For example, in the last shot, make full use of the characteristics of her clear eyes, try to magnify her advantages, and match her good looks, which can play the finishing touch.

At the same time, it is also an explanation to the financier, otherwise people voted for 2 million to get the role of the second female lead, there are few lines, blindfolded, and always have a long vision, it is a bit too much to say.

Fortunately, Wang Li, this girl is a little silly and sweet, or she knows her own shortcomings, and she understands some small actions of the crew, and she does not dwell too much. In a word, the role of the female number two was just fooled.

After the applause, Wang Li, who had relieved herself, walked up to Li Tang and said very sincerely: "Teacher Li, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone helps each other." Li Tang said with a smile.

Anyway, this girl is quite good, and she has left a good impression on Li Tang after a long time.

Wang Li looked at Li Tang and asked, "Teacher Li, am I not suitable to be an actor?" ”

"Uh......"

Li Tang was speechless for a while, hesitated slightly, and said frankly: "It's not that it's not suitable, if you really have an interest in this area, I suggest that you find a teacher to strengthen the basic skills such as lines, body and performance." If you can, you can try a stage play. ”

After all, stage plays are cheap, otherwise you will invest millions to get a role to enjoy at every turn, and the price will be a little bigger.

Hearing this answer, Wang Li seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with gratitude: "I understand, thank you Teacher Li!" ”

The scheduled filming cycle of "Subway to Spring" is 40 days, and now it is completed a week in advance, so it is indispensable to celebrate, and a finale banquet was held that night.

In addition to Xu Jinglei and Gao Yuanyuan, who couldn't leave because of filming, Fan Wei and Ke Lan, who had finished early, came. Although Ke Lan's acting skills are a little miserable, he has a good personality and a big grin, and even if he has a background, he will not be like some people, his face is full of "I am a nobleman", and then he looks down on this and that. It's easy for her to mingle with everyone, and she flew here from Hong Kong today to attend the finale banquet.

Lao Fan is very quiet in private, always with a humble smile on his face, and he always speaks politely and softly when talking to people. And although Lao Fan is from the Northeast, the amount of alcohol is very shallow, or he deliberately controls it, in short, he drinks very little.

Li Tang and Lao Fan have very few rivalry scenes, and more appear as spectators and background boards. may be used to acting in sketches, Lao Fan's handling of the details is quite in place, and sometimes it is quite unexpected, but the effect presented is particularly good. Although he modestly said that this was his own delusion, it could be seen that he was very good at observation and good at capturing the characteristics of small people.

In fact, Lao Fan has also intended to transfer to film and television in the past two years, so when facing Li Tang's investors, it is rare to say a few sincere words.

In his words, every time he goes to the Spring Festival Gala, because it is a live broadcast, the pressure is too great, and he can't bear it a little. But filming film and television dramas is different, you can give full play to your imagination in front of the camera, if not, just start again, which is enjoyable and does not have to bear pressure.

Zhang Baibai came back with a glass of wine, sat down next to Li Tang, poured himself another glass of beer, and toasted with a smile: "Teacher Li, congratulations!" ”

Yesterday, the 55th Cannes International Film Festival in France announced all the shortlists, and "Balzac and the Little Tailor" starring Li Tang, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun was shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" unit of this film festival. Of course, this film, which was destined not to be released in China, was shortlisted in the name of French cinema.

The only Chinese film shortlisted for the main competition unit is "Ren Yao", the last part of the trilogy of Jia Kechang's hometown. Of all the films shortlisted, there was only one Jewish-French director Roman who remembered Li Tang. Polanski's "The Pianist".

The film will shine at next year's Oscars, with the lead actor Adrian Anderson. Brody won Best Actor at the 75th Academy Awards, while director Polanski also won Best Director. Because Polanski was wanted by the American police for assaulting underage girls, he was unable to attend in person to receive the award, which caused a sensation at the time.

Originally, as the son of the Cannes Film Festival, "The Little Tailor" was already the limit to be shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" unit, which was nothing more than selling the copyrights of several more countries. Perhaps out of the right sense, or to show a unique perspective, "The Little Tailor" will also represent France in the Best Foreign Language Film award at next year's Oscars. The shortlisting for the Cannes Film Festival is estimated to be a kind of warm-up and momentum.

The Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard section is a bit like the Venice Film Festival's Un Certain Regards section, both of which are parallel to the main competition section, with the only difference being that the Un Certain Regards section focuses on the works of new directors in the "Against the Current" section, while the Un Certain Regard section focuses on diverse and niche art film festivals.

Although this unit also sets up the Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actress awards, "The Little Tailor" is a big heroine movie, and the only one who can hope to win the award is the heroine Zhou Xun, and Li Tang and Chen Kun are destined to become supporting roles that flatter the heroine.

So Li Tang was not very interested in being shortlisted this time.

Of course, on the scene, he still had a toast with Zhang Baibai, and then said a few polite words.

"Hey, Mr. Li, do you think we can send this movie overseas to be judged after it is completed?" Zhang Baibai asked tentatively.

"Uh......"

To be honest, after going through the whole filming process, Li Tang didn't like this movie very much, and always felt that art films were not like art films, and commercial films were not like commercial films, which were far from Cheng Er's "The Third Man". The problem is not in the script, but in the director Zhang Baibai.

How so?

It's probably just decent, step-by-step, and there are no unexpected highlights.

But he is also one of the major shareholders, and the previous "Third Man" tasted the sweetness again. Li Tang has long been thinking about this aspect. The first is the Rotterdam Film Festival at the beginning of next year, don't look at the small scale of this film festival, but it is very influential in the field of European art films, and Zhang Baibai is a new director, which is very in line with the purpose of the Rotterdam Film Festival to support new directors from all over the world.

The second is the Venice Film Festival, he doesn't expect this "Subway to Spring" to be shortlisted for the main competition unit or the "Upstream Stream" unit, and it can be shortlisted for the screening unit.

The third is to look forward to another partnership with MK2 in France. With the energy of MK2, even if it can't be shortlisted for the three major European film festivals, it is still very promising to be shortlisted for the Paris International Film Festival, or the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival, and then export to domestic sales, and use the name of overseas film festivals to hype, hoping to have a good result in the domestic box office market.

Of course, the premise of these is that the quality of the movie can be passable, and before the finished film comes out, Li Tang does not dare to make this conclusion.

So in the face of Zhang Yibai's longing face, Li Tang did not talk to him, but said after a little muttering: "It's better to finish the post-production of the movie first and pass the review." ”

The General Administration just issued a new rule last year, and no one is allowed to participate in overseas film festivals without review.

As the saying goes: you have to sing which song you have to sing on which mountain. Since you are mixed in the country in this life, whether you want to or not, you must honestly abide by the domestic rules.

Perhaps seeing that Li Tang's overly calm expression seemed to be in his chest, Zhang Baiyi nodded again and again while being full of hope: "Teacher Li, I understand!" ”
