Chapter 337: Ambition, Jealousy, Comfort
"How's your new assistant?"
"It's okay, but I've only met for the first time today, and we talked about it over dinner, and I feel like there's no problem with my abilities. Belch...... Look at it again, Jiajia helped me pick it, first run in for a while, and then change it if it's not suitable. ”
Li Tang and Zhao Luoyao had a buffet at the revolving restaurant on the top floor, and when they went downstairs, they happened to meet their ex-girlfriend and Li Xiuxiu. They had just arrived, and they also lived on the twelfth floor, and they said hello to each other, and Li Tang introduced his new assistant.
On the surface, it seems to be normal, acquaintances meet and greet each other, but Li Tang and his ex-girlfriend only make eye contact, and the meaning is all in plain sight.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for his ex-girlfriend to come over and knock on the door, and then it was a fixed scene......
The ex-girlfriend's career has finally improved, and she has been following Sister Hua to sign a contract with Huayi for more than a year, and now the Huayi brothers are said to be talking about cooperation with Hong Kong film companies, helping her win a role as the second female in future co-productions.
So my ex-girlfriend has been in a good mood recently, and she has been extra involved just now, and it seems that she wants to share her happiness with Li Tang.
The clouds and rain stopped, and they chatted casually during the break, and naturally talked about Li Tang's new assistant Zhao Luoyao.
"It seems that you still have a lot of trust in your Jiajia!"
The ex-girlfriend first came sourly, recalling the scene of meeting at the elevator before, and said: "I think your new assistant is quite good at things, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
Li Tang agrees with the evaluation of "quite good at things". To be an assistant is to be able to carry it clearly, and to look at the style, the ex-girlfriend's evaluation can be understood as a compliment.
As for the latter sentence "It's not a fuel-efficient lamp", it is completely the negative emotional output of the ex-girlfriend. It's nothing more than that Xiao Zhao was too polite and familiar when they met, which inevitably made people feel a little empty.
Li Tang smiled and said, "She is from the capital, don't you know that you have been in the capital for so many years?" ”
The people of Beijing are famous, especially when they meet for the first time, one bite of yours, which is called a politeness, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. But those kind words, such as "I will invite you to dinner when I turn around", "I know this, wrap it on me" and the like, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
"No wonder!"
The ex-girlfriend snorted, and then pouted: "I met Zhang Ziyi when I came over, and they called it a pomp, and there was actually a foreigner." ”
Li Tang especially likes to see his ex-girlfriend and Xiaopang's jealousy of others in private, which feels very real.
"People are developing in Hollywood now, they are international superstars, and there is nothing strange about having a foreigner by their side." Li Tang said deliberately.
In fact, the foreigner next to Zhang Ziyi is an English teacher hired by her, and the first thing Xiao Zhang needs to pass if he wants to develop in Hollywood is the language barrier.
During the filming in Fushun, Li Tang talked to this buddy, who had studied in China for many years and is now a teacher at an international school in Beijing, and this time he used the summer vacation to earn some extra money.
Learning English is not difficult, the most important thing is to have a language environment. Why Chinese start learning English from primary school and are still dumb English after graduating from university is a lack of language environment.
Zhang Ziyi is very smart, let a foreign teacher follow her, on the one hand, seize the time to learn, on the other hand, you also need to have a language environment around you, so that you can learn faster. Of course, it is not excluded that there is an element of pretending and showing off, after all, Chinese people still generally have a "Muyang" mentality in recent years.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the ex-girlfriend said even more sourly: "It's different from us, people went directly to the eighteenth floor." ”
Above the fifteenth floor of Jinling Hotel are luxury suites, and the room prices are more than 2,000.
Li Tang glanced at her and continued to stimulate: "You don't want to think about it, how much you are paid, how much people are paid!" ”
“……”
At this time, the ex-girlfriend's expression, if described in Shanghainese, is "a gossip, completely resting." ”
Think about it, Zhang Ziyi's salary is 2 million, and that is still the result of a discount. The ex-girlfriend's salary of 400,000 yuan as the second female number one cannot be compared at all. Not to mention that he starred in Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 2" before, the salary was a real one million US dollars. Except for Cheng Long and Li Lianlian, this salary is almost the ceiling of all Chinese actors.
The ex-girlfriend was stunned for a moment before muttering: "It's really more popular than people!" ”
"Okay, your conditions are not bad, work hard, maybe you can surpass her one day." Li Tang smiled and comforted at this time.
Thinking back to his past life, at least Ada. Wang and Zhang Ziyi are almost the same grade, and they may only be one grade worse than Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh and Liu Yifei among Chinese actresses, because the latter three have all starred in Hollywood Class A productions.
Of course, strictly speaking, the last three are Li Jiapo, Malaysians and Americans, and they are not Chinese.
"Don't make a fuss, I'm going to ...... Well, I don't have the kind of life that people have the support of a big director just after their debut! ”
The ex-girlfriend originally wanted to say that she was almost thirty, but thirty years old is really difficult for a female star to say.
The difference between his ex-girlfriend and Zhang Ziyi is six years old, and they have already achieved fame at the age of nineteen, and he is still a local kindergarten teacher in the Northeast at the age of nineteen. Not to mention that when someone is in his early twenties, he can get a salary of one million dollars, and he is still complacent in his early twenties and earning more than 100,000 yuan for shooting an advertisement. So it's still the same sentence "people are more popular than people".
But having said that, there was still a trace of unyielding look in his ex-girlfriend's eyes at this time.
The crew's arrangement is still relatively humane, knowing that Zhang Ziyi and Li Binbin only arrived in the evening, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that everyone was arranged to go to the filming site on the other side of the Yangtze River.
This is the same as football players need to go to the competition venue before the game, and actors also need to be familiar with the shooting environment when they arrive at a new shooting site, and then move according to the scene situation.
Xiao Zhang was picked up by a special car as usual, and her assistant and the foreign teacher buddy were in the same car with her. Li Tang got into the crew's van with his ex-girlfriend and Nakamura Heng, who had been guarding the hotel for two days.
Li Tang chatted with him and learned that this goods and his little book assistant had been in the hotel for the past two days and did not dare to go out. It can be seen that they are well aware of the tragedy that happened here, but they just refuse to admit it.
Thinking of this, Li Tang inevitably felt a little embarrassed, and he also lost interest in chatting with him, feeling that it was a sin for him to talk about devils here. The little book obviously felt Li Tang's coldness, and then he stopped saying anything, just looked out of the car blankly.
Although some of the crew's staff greeted in advance before departure, saying that there were many onlookers at the scene, it turned out that there was a sea of people at the entrance of Pukou Railway Station, all of whom came to see Zhang Ziyi.
Seeing the crew's car driving over, some people may see Zhang Ziyi sitting in the car, and suddenly the crowd was in a commotion, shouting Zhang Ziyi's name one after another, and there were even reporters who took pictures of the slowly moving car with their cameras.
Fortunately, there were a lot of police officers at the scene to help maintain order, otherwise they might not even be able to move the car.
Pukou Railway Station is an old-fashioned British building, with a three-story brick and wood structure, beige exterior walls, and a large red roof. A single-column umbrella-shaped promenade jutting out of the platform and an arched rain corridor connecting the ferry terminal connect a three-story beige main building with the words "Lanjingbei Station" written on the red roof.
In order not to affect the normal operation of the station, the crew fenced a section of the platform with barbed wire, including a pedestrian bridge connecting the east and west platforms and crossing the two railroad tracks.
This steel-made footbridge is also said to have been built during the Republican period, and its rust-mottled appearance has endured the vicissitudes of the times. The only certainty is that this pedestrian bridge must have been built after 1917, otherwise Mr. Zhu Ziqing's touching and tearful essay "Back" would not have been born.
The ex-girlfriend sitting in the car seemed silent at this time. It's one thing to be jealous and unconvinced, but it's another thing to witness the madness of the audience and fans towards Zhang Ziyi.
Maybe it was at this time that she really realized that the gap between herself and Zhang Ziyi was not only a coffee position and salary, but also the audience's love and reputation.
When filming in the Northeast before, the scene was not so exaggerated. The reason is that the crew's secrecy work has been done very well from the beginning, and by the time the news came out, the filming over there was almost over.
But because the crew was here half a month in advance to set up preparations, coupled with the news from the Northeast, fans and reporters came prepared, it is said that many people waited here two days in advance, and it was not until today that a large number of viewers and fans gathered after learning the exact news.
No matter how well the crew does a good job of secrecy, it can't stop the station from leaking the news. After all, the crew has to report to the station in advance for every day of filming.
Zhang Ziyi may be used to seeing this kind of scene, so she can't get out of the car at all. Li Tang got out of the van with his ex-girlfriend and a small notebook, and the first feeling was that it was hot, and then he heard the crowd start chanting the names of "Li Tang" and "Li Binbin".
At this time, the ex-girlfriend finally showed a smile, and the cheers of the audience brought her some comfort.
Today's state is very poor, headache, backache, I wanted to be lazy and ask for leave, but think about it or hold on to a chapter, maybe the quality is average, and there is a little water, let's make do with it, sorry!
