"Smack!"

In the 798 screening room, which was opened in advance, the lights came on, and Li Tang breathed a sigh of relief. And Zhang Baibai, who was sitting next to him, couldn't wait to ask with a nervous and excited expression, "Teacher Li, what do you think?" ”

This is a rough cut version of "Subway to Spring", which is two and a half hours long, and it looks a bit lengthy and laborious because there is no soundtrack and narration.

But overall it's pretty good, with multiple character perspectives and a lot of flashbacks. Li Tang doesn't know if this is Zhang Baibai's editing technique borrowed from Cheng Er in "The Third Man", but in terms of narrative, it is not as exaggerated as Cheng Er, it seems unique, jumping out and not sticking to it.

Li Tang nodded and said, "It's good, it's better to be more compact in terms of editing." Belch...... In addition, the progress must also be fastened, and the film must be sent out before the end of July. ”

The studio has already approached MK2, and late July is the deadline for registration at the Venice Film Festival, so as long as you send a copy of the name newspaper to it, what MK2 can do is to send it to the judging team as quickly as possible, and give the green light to the best possible in terms of shortlisting.

In fact, thousands of films sign up for the Venice Film Festival every year, but there will always be pearls left behind, after all, the film festival review team is impossible, and there is no time to watch each film carefully.

For example, Section Chief Jia's first feature film "Xiao Wu" was directly sent to the Berlin Film Festival in the form of a videotape to encourage new directors. There was a gap of about three months, and there was no response. Later, according to the recollection of Gregor, chairman of the forum unit, he and his selection team watched a few films at that time, and were about to go home, when they were packing their things, they suddenly found an unopened email, and the address was Beijing Film Academy.

I have to mention here that Nortel, oh, the acting department is not counted, Nortel was definitely the top university in Asia for cultivating film talents at that time.

Because the mailing address is the Beijing Film Academy, Mr. Gregor estimates that it is a student work, and he plans to take a look, maybe only at the beginning, and if not, he will pass it directly. But after 107 minutes, Mr. Gregor decided to invite the film.

This sounds a bit like a fairy tale, and no one knows exactly how it is, but it also shows how difficult it is to be shortlisted for the three major European film festivals.

Zhang Baibai held him for Mao and Teacher Li, and he had to pull him in with a dead face, it was nothing more than that he had no way to do this, and seeing Li Tang holding Cheng Er up, his heart was itching. After all, fame and fortune are extremely tempting for anyone.

After Li Tang came back this time, he told Zhang Baiyi and Liu Zhan about the verbal agreement reached with MK2, which made them extremely excited, and worked overtime to cut out the rough cut version before Li Tang returned to Shanghai.

Hearing Li Tang's words at this time, Zhang Baitou nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said continuously: "Understood, understood." ”

As he spoke, he said cautiously: "Mr. Li, there is also this narration, when do you think you have time to help record it?" ”

Another feature of this film is that there are a lot of narrations, because the shooting technique is from the perspective of the characters, so almost every actor has narration. This kind of narration in which the characters are out of artistic conception is a typical artistic technique of Peking Opera, and it should be said that it is also relatively novel.

Li Tang pondered a little and said, "Then tomorrow, okay?" ”

"No problem, no problem at all."

Although it is only the end of May, and there are still nearly two months before the final deadline for registration for the Venice Film Festival, this stage has not yet been completed, including the review and approval, in fact, the time is very tight.

Fortunately, this "Subway to Spring" is a pure love film, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult to pass the review. Otherwise, it is necessary to open up the relationship in all aspects, whether it is a time cost or an economic cost, it is very large, and sometimes it is even a bottomless pit.

In addition to the main creators of the crew, including the two producers and producers sent by Qingying Studio, today's film viewing meeting was also present, and it was indispensable to eat and drink after the event.

Everyone saw the scale of Li Tang's studio in the 798 factory, and inevitably discussed it on the wine table around the topic of whether to demolish or not. Some people don't understand and think that Li Tang's doing this is a bit more than worth the loss; There are also people who seem to be very enthusiastic on the surface, but they may have the desire to watch a good show in their hearts.

Li Tang is also too lazy to argue, whether it is sincere or hypocritical, let time prove everything.

The narration took two days, so that Li Tang returned to Shanghai two days later than planned, and inevitably explained to Xiaopang on the phone.

may be due to the precipitation of this period of time, maybe it is in the process of playing Li Wei's wife Yue Siying in "Li Wei as an Official 2" that I got some insights from the characters, in short, I am a lot more well-behaved and sensible during this time, and I don't have a little temper with him on the phone from time to time like before.

I came out of the airport and hailed a taxi back to my old apartment on Wuyuan Road in the city.

In fact, it really doesn't matter whether you pick up the airport or not, compared to Li Tang, there is a taxi parked at the entrance of the airport all the year round to pick up passengers, saving worry, effort and money. The so-called pick-up is more of a formality, or a self-flaunting that embodies superiority.

Besides, he doesn't have any luggage, he has lived in Shanghai and Beijing for the past few years, and the round-trip is basically a backpack, without a bulky suitcase.

As he walked briskly up the stairs and was about to open the door with the key, the door of his house opened from the inside.

He was startled, and when he looked up, he saw that he was wearing a short-sleeved lotus pajamas, and Fan Xiaopang was plain-faced!

"I'm back! Hee-hee, isn't it a surprise? ”

"Uh...... Why are you here, the filming is over? Li Tang looked surprised.

In fact, he was even more surprised that Xiaopang entered his house without saying a word. Although Xiaopang has lived here for more than a day or two, as long as they live here, they will go in and out together. Xiaopang never took the initiative to ask for it, Li Tang ignored it intentionally or unintentionally, in short, Xiaopang didn't have the key here.

Except for his ex-girlfriend and his father, no one else has a key here, including the spare key that was placed on the door frame before, and he has long since taken it.

Of course, this sentence is not easy to say directly.

"Come in and talk about it!"

As soon as Li Tang entered the door, he smelled the fragrance of chicken soup, the aroma was very strong, and there was no need to ask if it must be a local free-range hen that was at least two years old.

Xiaopang pulled Li Tang into the door, helped him take off his backpack first, and said, "Wash your hands first!" Then he hurried to the kitchen to see the fire.

Li Tang walked into the bathroom and washed his hands, took a towel and washed his face again, looking at himself in the mirror, to be honest, he hated surprises like this the most. I was going to do well, I wanted to go home to recharge my energy for two days, and then go home by the way, after all, Xiao Xiao is about to take the college entrance examination, as an elder brother, I always have to give two instructions to encourage my sister. Finally, I will go to Suzhou to visit the class.

The reason is very simple, during this time in the capital, he met with his ex-girlfriend from time to time, especially last night, his lean ex-girlfriend suddenly went crazy and almost didn't squeeze him dry, and he is still a little weak until now.

I'm really afraid of something!

"What are you doing?"

Chubby suddenly appeared at the bathroom door.

Li Tang had no choice but to smile and say, "It's okay, it's just a little tired." ”

Get vaccinated in advance.

Seeing that his face was really not good, Xiaopang couldn't help but say, "You worked overtime last night?" ”

"Yes, the effect of the match on the first day was not very good, and I matched it again, and I was busy all night."

Li Tang naturally climbed up the pole, and the implication was that he worked hard in order to come back early, and he was very tired now.

Xiaopang hurriedly said, "Then you can rest for a while, the chicken soup will simmer for a while." ”

Saying that, she didn't care about selling it, and pulled Li Tang to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and said: "My scene in Suzhou has almost been filmed, and it will be finished in Hengdian for almost a week when I go to Hengdian next month." It's not just time to come over, save you from running around. ”

said, and smiled: "Why didn't you ask me how I got in?" ”

"Oh, by the way, I forgot ......"

Li Tang patted his head, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, stood up and walked to the entrance of the door, opened the small drawer and took a look: "Sure enough, it's here." ”

As he spoke, he took out a string of three big and one small four keys from it, and raised it towards Xiao Fat: "This is the key prepared for you, I forgot to give it to you." By the way, how did you get in today? ”

This is called turning passive into active, Chubby can't always pry the door in, he must have got the key. As for where to get the keys, it's obvious.

He even secretly complained in his heart that his father was unreliable, and gave the key to Xiaopang but didn't talk to him afterwards. It may be that I have been with Aunt Xiao for a long time and have forgotten what men should be most aware of. I think that when Lao Li was circling among several aunts, the original Li Tang at a young age did not cover him and wipe his buttocks.

Now that Dad has given the key to Chubby, it's not good for him to pretend to be confused and hide it, so it's better to take the initiative.

Sure enough, Xiaopang said proudly: "When I came back, I stopped by to see my uncle, and I said I wanted to surprise you, so my uncle gave me the key." ”

In fact, there is another reason she didn't say, that is, Jiang Qinqin has been filming in Chedun Film and Television City during this time, she was afraid that the two of them would be close to each other and make a name for themselves behind their backs, so she came over in advance to occupy people first, so as not to let someone take advantage of the situation.

As she spoke, she took out an identical string of keys from her bag and displayed them.

Three large keys, one is the key to the downstairs door, one is the garage key, and the other is the door key; The small one is the key to the mailbox.

Because the key in Daddy's hand was the original one, which was both simple and pulped, Xiaopang put away the keys and said, "I still like the keys that my uncle gave me, you can return this new set of keys to my uncle." ”

The key given by Lao Li also represents recognition and fame in a sense.

The second update!

Six and a half months, a million words is not easy! In its current form, the book would probably cost more than three million and four million words. Thank you for your support!
