On May 26, the 55th Cannes International Film Festival came to an end. "The Pianist", directed by French director Polanski, finally broke the curse of death and won the Palme d'Or.

Among the several Chinese-language films shortlisted for the main competition unit and the unkind of attention unit, except for Liao Qing, the heroine of "The Crying Woman" directed by Liu Bingjian, who finally won the Best Actress Award in the Un Certain Regard unit, the rest of the films did not receive anything.

Interestingly, in interviews, these directors all said that being able to go to Cannes was a victory.

Therefore, today Zhang Jizhong and Fan Xinman invited Li Tang to dinner, and it was definitely not to congratulate him on returning from Cannes. And everyone is very busy, especially when Zhang Dabeard invites himself to dinner when he is in trouble, does he want to let himself invest?

It's just that this idea is obviously unreliable, and although "Smiling Pride" is controversial, it has been a great success in terms of revenue; "Shooting the Condor" is no exception, before the broadcast, the producer has recovered its investment just by selling the premiere rights, and the next two or three rounds of copyrights have been earned in vain.

It is said that when the project was first established, investors flocked to it, how could Zhang Dabeard lack investment? And even if it is lacking, it is necessary to find a leading brother in the industry such as CCTV and the Literary Association, and use its strong background and resources to escort the TV series, unless it is sponsorship or advertising investment that does not pay dividends, that is what Zhang Dabeard welcomes.

There is also a possibility that the character who helped Chubby contact before and has reached a verbal commitment with Zhang Dabeard has a problem?

Just when Li Tang was suspicious and speculating, he saw Zhang Dabeard pour a full glass of wine and raise it up to Li Tang and said: "Xiao Li, the candidate for the role of Wang Yuyan, I'm really sorry, I broke my promise." ”

When Li Tang heard it, sure enough.

However, he didn't slap the table and jump up to accuse Zhang Dabeard of not being trustworthy, since the two of them are in such a big position today, it is estimated that there must be a last resort.

Otherwise, Xiaopang wants to be good-looking, famous, and the salary required is not high, and more importantly, there is his own face and Zhang Dabeard's own promise, there is no reason to say that if you change people, you will change people.

He looked at Zhang's beard very calmly and said, "Teacher Zhang, what about then?" ”

Zhang Dabeard was about to punish himself with a glass of wine, and this kind of thing would not be comfortable for anyone. Besides, Li Tang is not Shao Bin, on the one hand, the relationship between the two has always been good, and it has long risen from a cooperative relationship to a friend relationship; Of course, the most important thing is that Li Tang is now on the rise in the circle, and the relationship in all aspects is handled well, not as a last resort, he really doesn't want to tear his face with Li Tang, so he put his attitude very well as soon as he came up, and he was also mentally prepared for Li Tang to be unhappy. 、

It's just that he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be unexpected, he couldn't react for a while, he was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, and immediately said: "Although Wang Yuyan's role has a problem, Xiao Li, don't worry, you can choose other roles!" ”

As he spoke, he raised the cup again and saluted: "Anyway, I'm embarrassed about this matter, and I'm doing this cup!" ”

Since Lao Zhang said this, Li Tang had nothing to hesitate, so he quickly picked up the cup and stood up, touched Lao Zhang, and toasted together without saying a word.

"Brother, thank you for your understanding!"

Zhang Dabeard, who had already lowered his posture, felt very relieved and dignified when he saw Li Tang's attitude, and even changed his name after being excited.

Li Tang waved his hand: "Teacher Zhang, you are a senior, don't be polite." ”

As a result, as soon as his voice fell, Xinman on the side interjected and said with a smile: "Since Teacher Zhang is a senior, what about me, Sister Xinman?" ”

It is estimated that the two fathers and mothers had a clear division of labor from the beginning, and planned to sing red face and white face one sing, just because Li Tang reacted very calmly, so one was sincere, and the other became a gag to adjust the atmosphere.

Li Tang could only smile and said: "Sister Xinman, this is different, you are so young and beautiful, I am worried that you will be called old, we still have our own opinions." ”

Fan Xinman was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "I really know how to speak, and I really like the little girl." ”

She and Ney are best friends, and she has more or less heard about Li Tang, especially in the crew of "Shooting the Condor", she has seen Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin in and out of pairs.

How can I say it, men are not romantic teenagers! It's just that she is more or less unwilling.

When I was young, I always felt very satisfied with finding a man who was both mature and talented, but as youth passed, especially the man who was both mature and talented, he gradually became weak and greasy, and there was always a kind of unwillingness. Especially when she is older, her mentality has gradually changed, and she especially hopes to have a young and handsome friend, so that she can seize the afterglow of youth and taste the passion of youth again. For example, Li Tang is quite good, but unfortunately he is a little timid.

"Sister Xinman, don't make fun of me."

Li Tang smiled and coped, then looked at Lao Zhang, and said directly: "Teacher Zhang, is there no problem with the role of the second female Ah Zi?" ”

The most taboo thing for a person is incompetent rage, since the female number one is hopeless, then you have to find a way to minimize the loss, and the only choice is the female number two.

Lao Zhang was also very cheerful, and immediately said: "No problem! ”

may still feel embarrassed, and added: "The salary remains the same!" ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, then let's talk about it this time, and it's a deal!"

Li Tang refilled the cups of the two, picked up the cups, glanced at Fan Xinman and said, "You can help testify this time!" ”

Old aunt, as long as you have a good grasp of proportion, you can promote the relationship with each other well, and at the same time you will not go off the rails.

Sure enough, Fan Xinman glanced at him charmingly, picked up the cup and said, "Okay, I'll testify." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately shouted at the bearded man: "Lao Zhang, this time you have to talk and count!" ”

Lao Zhang's chest was slammed: "It must count!" Here, cheers! ”

Since he said it, Li Tang was inevitably a little curious: "Who will play the role of Wang Yuyan?" ”

In fact, Lao Zhang is preparing for the new drama "Dragon Babu", which has already been reported by the media, and he is even speculating about the candidates for the roles in the play, such as Duan Yu's candidates are Lu Yi, Chen Kun, Li Tang, and Xie Tingfeng, Chen Guanxi, etc., the main thing is a handsome!

Xiao Feng's candidates include Ding Haifeng, Hu Jun, and even Hong Kong's Huang Rihua.

However, Li Tang knew that most of these were unreliable, but at the beginning, Lao Zhang did find Lu Yi, including wanting to let himself play Duan Yu. As a result, neither of them looked down on Duan Yu and wanted to play Xiao Feng.

It wasn't until later that Li Tang knew that in fact, the role of Xiao Feng had already been decided, that is, Hu Jun. One is that Lao Zhang owes everyone favors, and the other is that Hu Jun is really consistent with Xiao Feng in terms of temperament, and they are all very manly, especially those who have watched "Lan Yu", this feeling is even stronger.

As for the heroine Wang Yuyan, the guesses are even more varied, there are guesses about Zhang Ziyi, Xiaoyanzi and the like, but they are unreliable when they hear it, the former is a movie café, and the latter is transforming into a movie café, and it is impossible to take on TV series.

There is also speculation that it is Kim Hee-sun, Xu Jinglei, Jiang Qinqin, including the newly emerging newcomer Huang Yi. Because at that time, Li Tang knew that he had already decided to be fat, and he just treated the media as nonsense.

But now that he has been replaced, he has wrenched his fingers, and among these candidates, Jiang Qinqin, who is suitable for the role of Wang Yuyan, is barely qualified. After all, the audience will not accept a stick to play the fairy sister, and as for Xu Jinglei and Huang Yi, they are not good enough at all. As for Jiang Qinqin's appearance is enough and fairy enough, the only fly in the ointment may be that she is a little older.

Otherwise, unless it is a Hong Kong and Taiwan star like Zhang Baizhi, he can't use a newcomer in such a big drama, and the risk is also great.

As a result, Lao Zhang looked at him mysteriously and said, "Liu Yifei, have you heard of this name?" ”

Li Tang felt quite familiar when he heard this name, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he shook his head.

Lao Zhang smiled: "It's a newcomer, just returned from the United States, and ......it's not very old."

Hearing this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Is it the one who is filming "The Family of Gold Powder" now?" ”

Because he had heard Zhou Xun say it before, saying that the female number two in "The Family of Gold Powder" that Chen Kun was filming was a fifteen-year-old girl who had just returned from the United States. And the reason why she was able to partner Chen Kun and Dong Jie to play the second female lead as soon as she debuted is that she has a godfather, who is very rich and has a background, and she is the kind of person who can be on the list of pig killing clothes or not.

The word godfather is easy to make people think about it, but the girl is too young and a little incredible.

"That's right, it's her! Looks like you've heard of it too. Lao Zhang said with a smile.

It's just that Li Tang is a little puzzled, with his understanding of Lao Zhang, this old guy will definitely give in in the face of the powerful and the ability to make money, there is no doubt about it, but it is unlikely that he will be so happy, with Lao Zhang's urine sex It is still quite normal to complain in private, how can it be like picking up a treasure?

Facing Li Tang's question, Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Actually, I wasn't very confident at first, but it wasn't until I saw the real person that I suddenly found that Wang Yuyan was standing in front of me so vividly...... Uh, Li Tang, don't be surprised when I say that, it was from that moment that I made up my mind, Wang Yuyan is her! ”

"Is there such a god?"

Li Tang didn't believe it very much, and always felt that Lao Zhang was making excuses for himself to kneel and lick the powerful and capital.

I don't want Sister Xinman to suddenly come out and say: "The little girl is still too young, but her mother is so beautiful!" ”

Li Tang's eyes lit up when he heard this, you must know that a narcissistic woman like Fan Xinman praises a woman for being beautiful, it must be really beautiful, it must be the kind that is as beautiful as a fairy.

couldn't help but be curious: "Then how old is her mother?" ”

As a result, Sister Xinman immediately scoffed and said: "Look, you men are really virtuous, and you like beautiful women." However, little brother, I advise you not to think about it, they are post-50s, and they are a big difference from you. ”

It's just that as soon as her words fell, I heard Lao Zhang say leisurely: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, five or nine years old, just in ...... early forties."

The second watch, whispering for a ticket!
