Fushun, in Li Tang's original memory, there are only two concepts: coal mine and Uncle Lei Feng.

Fushun is very close to Shenyang, the capital of Leoning, and it is only about an hour's drive from Shenyang's Taoxian Airport to FS city. This is a typical old industrial city, with the reform of state-owned enterprises in recent years, the whole city looks very depressed.

Occasionally, when I see pedestrians walking in a hurry on the side of the road, most people don't seem to see any smile or hope on their faces, but more of a numbness, helplessness and melancholy.

And wherever there are coal mines, there are two industries: steel and power generation, and from far away you can see the towering chimneys spewing smoke. The sky over the whole city is gray, and it is estimated that the concentration of PM10 is certainly not small.

But in a sense, these factories that are still smoking are lucky, at least they are still running and still producing. Unlike most of the dilapidated factories seen on the roadside, they have long been empty, desolate and silent. And this kind of picture is also in line with the consistent gray elements in Lou Ye's movies.

Although the city looks very shabby, the hotels here are good, palatial and luxurious. As soon as Li Tang arrived, he stayed in a nice suite.

"Ziyi doesn't need to be introduced, this is Mr. Nakamura Heng from Japan, this is Li Tang, he plays Situ."

In the private room of the hotel restaurant, the three leading actors arrived, and the producer Ney made a brief introduction.

"Hello, Mr. Nakamura!"

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

Nakamura Heng bowed to Li Tang in a stiff Chinese dialect like "There is an old Chinese saying...... and greeted him, his attitude seemed very sincere and enthusiastic, followed by a series of chattering Japanese.

Based on the Japanese Japanese that Li Tang learned from his Japanese girlfriend in his previous life, he can basically understand it, which is nothing more than a variety of long-term admiration, touting Li Tang's achievements in winning the best actor in the upriver unit at the Venice Film Festival last year. As for the Golden Rooster Award and the like, people didn't mention it at all.

This is also normal, and what is internationally recognized is an international award. It's like we don't care much about the Blue Dragon Award for sticks, the Academy of Film Awards and the like, and the only awards that can be recognized are probably the Busan Film Festival and the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Li Tang was not too cold, bowed in response, and also showed a few words of Japanese. The result was another wave of hype.

In fact, East Asian countries have similar cultures, because they are backward in modern times, they have a history of humiliation, and they are more or less unconfident in their bones. Just as seeing a foreigner in China who can speak Chinese always feels very cordial and face-saving, Japanese people also have this mentality. In particular, Li Tang still speaks with a pure Tokyo accent, which makes Hiroshi Nakamura, who is a native of Tokyo, feel especially kind.

As an idol, Hyung Nakamura is definitely a handsome guy, with bright black and white eyes, a high nose bridge, a slightly long face but a clear skeleton, smooth lines, and the overall toughness and melancholy.

If you don't have an impression of Hiroshi Nakamura, you can refer to Takeshi Kaneshiro, they are the same type of handsome Japanese guys.

After dealing with Zhongcun Heng, Li Tang made time to say to Zhang Ziyi: "Miss Zhang, I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

The first meeting between him and Zhang Ziyi dates back to the opening ceremony of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Festival in Changchun, when Xiao Zhang, who had just debuted, followed director Zhang Yimou to promote her debut film "My Father and Mother".

Oh, I almost forgot, Li Tang remembered that there was another male junior in the publicity team at that time, who was also a newcomer who had just debuted. I have to say that the circle in the entertainment industry is really small, the male junior of director Zhang Yimou's ex-girlfriend made his debut in the movie directed by Zhang Yimou, or the actor who made his debut in the movie directed by Zhang Yimou became the male junior of director Zhang Yimou's married ex-girlfriend.

Going around in circles will always make a difference.

It's far away again, let's talk about Zhang Ziyi.

It was precisely because of Director Zhang Yimou's courtesy to Li Tang at that time that Xiao Zhang was impressed by Li Tang from the beginning. Relationships are so wonderful, often the first impression determines the depth and breadth of the relationship.

So at this time, although Xiao Zhang is a popular group and has become the leader of the first-line flowers in China, he is still very enthusiastic when he sees Li Tang, and said with a smile: "Teacher Li, don't come unharmed!" ”

As he spoke, he took the initiative to open his arms and hug Li Tang.

Li Tang was somewhat flattered, after all, Xiao Zhang has now mixed into Hollywood, and more importantly, in his previous life, he also heard about Xiao Zhang's deeds in Hollywood, such as his love affair with the old Jew.

It is often said that Li Tang, a traverser, doesn't know anything, so it's better not to cross. To be honest, these are all looking at the problem from their own point of view, and Li Tang was a Chinese born in the United States in his previous life, and he is also the kind of banana person that everyone often says.

It's just that Li Tang's family situation is different, his parents are Kochi, and they have not relaxed their education on Li Tang's traditional Chinese culture. But the mainstream education that Li Tang received in school since he was a child is still the education of the United States, which is no different from that of Americans, or that he was an American in his previous life.

And in the United States, the entertainment industry is extremely developed, whether it is music or film and television works. As a result, the so-called Chinese music or movies naturally become insignificant, and they will not pay attention to it at all, unless there is a Chinese star who is familiar with soy sauce in a Hollywood movie.

Maybe someone will spray, but that's just the way it is. Because he has lived in the United States since he was a child, he received an American education, can speak fluent Chinese, master Chinese writing and reading comprehension, and understand some Chinese history, which is already the limit for a Chinese.

As for those Chinese films and Chinese stars who do not have enough influence in the world, I can only say sorry. Unless it's an internationally renowned director like Zhang Yimou, or a classmate like Xiao Zhang who has mixed in Hollywood. Including the little girl from the United States who robbed the role of Chubby Wang Yuyan, when he saw the photo, he felt familiar at first, and thought about it carefully, wow, isn't this Mulan!

In fact, there are still advantages for Chinese people like them, and with the rapid rise of China in the next two decades, both the economic level and the international discourse will occupy an increasing proportion. There are many ethnic Chinese who choose to return to their home countries to develop, or earn money from China to spend in the United States, and enjoy the national treatment of both countries at the same time.

Many will also create various characters, such as graduating from an Ivy League school, being more outstanding in a certain field, and returning to China to earn money under the banner of patriotism. Some are pure Chinese, and there are those who are half Chinese and half Anglo-Saxon, in fact, they are all about making money in the final analysis.

Li Tang was the same in his previous life, he couldn't get along in the United States, considering the weakness of his domestic acting career, he also wanted to return to China to make a lot of money, but the result was that he died before he set out on the expedition, and finally fell under the muzzle of Nigo's zero yuan purchase.

"Don't don't, I don't dare to be a teacher in front of you, call your name." Li Tang hurriedly said.

"Then I'll call you Brother Li! Brother Li, I still wanted to touch you last time in the crew of "Hero", but unfortunately I never had the opportunity. Well, we can finally work together. ”

Xiao Zhang is very good at talking, she is still very young at this time, and she is unscrupulous with no makeup.

She is not the image of a traditional Chinese beauty, her skin is not white and yellowish, and there are many small freckles dotted with stars, which may have a different background, and she does not look as exaggerated as Westerners.

But her face is very small, it is the kind of typical slap face, the bone looks very smooth, the beauty is not in the skin, and the most important thing is that her eyes are very clear, especially when she looks at you, giving people a feeling of ignorance and concentration.

Ignorance is innocence, concentration is seriousness, these are the only two things that a good actor must have. Therefore, Xiao Zhang has been able to get to where he is today, in addition to luck, but also her own conditions and abilities.

Again: Opportunity comes in the prepared mind!

Are you ready? If you are useless, even if there are more and greater opportunities that fall on you, I am afraid it will be in vain.

Li Tang was also very looking forward to it: "Well, happy cooperation!" ”

In fact, Xiao Zhang's enthusiastic attitude towards Li Tang is not only the courtesy of Director Zhang Yimou in his first impression, but also Li Tang's own strength.

In addition to having a handsome appearance, an excellent man must also have a deep background, the ability to stand out from the crowd, and the ability to make money.

Except for Li Tang's background, which is weak, everything else seems to be basically satisfied. Proper potential stocks and representatives of quality men.

Of course, it can't be said that Li Tang has no background at all, Xiao Zhang knew his classmates before, and the new Golden Horse actor Liu Ye is also fighting for the role of Situ, and even hopes that she can act as a lobbyist for her old classmates.

Li Tang was able to get this role, in addition to the fact that he had cooperated with Lou Ye before, and more importantly, the two families were said to be world friends. After learning the inside story, Xiao Zhang decisively rejected the old classmate's request to act as a lobbyist.

As for ability, in addition to the most basic acting skills, it is no longer news that Li Tang can speak fluent English in the circle, and many people still associate him with his biological mother in the United States; And this time at the Cannes Film Festival, despite the awards, the image of him being interviewed by the French press in French was quickly transmitted.

At this time, Chinese people are still very keen and yearning for mastering a foreign language, especially celebrities. actually brought a wave of heat to Li Tang. At this time, Xiao Zhang witnessed that Li Tang could still communicate with Nakamura Heng in Japanese, and his curiosity and envy were even stronger. After all, as a person who claims to have "successfully entered Hollywood", she knows too well the importance of being proficient in a foreign language.

For this alone, Li Tang is a very good man in her mind.

Of course, Xiao Zhang at this time may not be able to take a fancy to Li Tang at this time, because at this time she is having an ambition to conquer the other side of the ocean. But these do not conflict with her admiration for the excellent man in front of her, or she does not exclude something from happening with this excellent man in the process of cooperation.

This meal is not only a reception, but also a process of communication.

As long as he talks about movies, Lou Ye will break the character of social fear, and he can even describe it as talking.

But the process is slow, because although Brother Nakamura has acted in several Hong Kong movies, his Chinese skills are very poor, and he can only say some simple greetings, no matter how complicated it is. The scene was equipped with a translator, but when he encountered some special words for movies, the translator was also blind, so Li Tang had to take on the role of translator.

The first more, there is
