Chapter 372: The Case Rises

Teacher Jiang was angry, and when Li Tang worked hard to help Teacher Jiang interpret the script, Teacher Jiang finally became angry after understanding it. No wonder someone once said that the shortcut through love is what it is.

Everyone is an adult, especially as an actor, Mr. Jiang can easily think about it. It's like two people competing for the role of the female number one together, someone gets the script one step ahead of her, but she also has the opportunity to see the script, so the rest depends on who is more suitable for the role.

Of course, people will always have emotions, especially when the person who got the script first showed off in front of you, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.

But when you take the script again and savor it, you still like this role very much, and you especially want to play this female number one, then you can only endure the humiliation and continue to compete. Unless you admit defeat, but still want to act, then the only possibility is to be the second female lead.

And for the script itself, winning the favor of so many excellent actresses shows that it is a good script. It's just that in the face of so many excellent actresses competing and it is difficult to choose the heroine, then it can only be judged by audition.

But auditions are often not achieved overnight, and in this process, the script also needs to be carefully polished in the run-in with these actresses.

As the saying goes: a good meal is not afraid of being late. In this case, the script needs to be precipitated and polished more, or in the case of difficult trade-offs, the script can be modified, for example, it does not necessarily have to be a single heroine, but it can be a double heroine. If there are more outstanding actresses joining the ranks of competition in the process of auditioning, and it is difficult to choose, then it is not impossible to simply set it as a group play with multiple heroines.

After satisfying Teacher Jiang's physical and mental needs and helping her relieve her emotions, Li Tang came to Zha Lang as promised in the afternoon of the next day to interact with netizens to interpret the movie "Going".

Netizens are very enthusiastic, and the live broadcast room of 500 people was instantly crowded, and the company's pre-arranged dozen or so people may not be able to squeeze in if they do not enter the live broadcast room in advance.

Although the online live broadcasts in recent years are still in the form of text, netizens are very enthusiastic about asking questions, in addition to movies, more gossip questions, such as asking Li Tang and Fan Binbin if they are together? There are also fans of Li Binbin who asked if there was any possibility of the two getting back together.

Of course, these questions are skipped, and what Li Tang needs to answer is questions related to movies. There are already free words on the Internet, and at the same time, some rhythmic remarks pop up from time to time:

"Li Tang and Xu Jinglei acted so well!"

"Wow, Gao Yuanyuan is so beautiful!"

"Teacher Fan Wei is full of joy!"

"Revealing Coran's Background ......"

It may be that Chinese audiences have been trained in reading comprehension for a long time since elementary school, and their interpretation of the plot is a set of characters. Through the characteristics of the characters, you can find living examples around you. Of course, some viewers mentioned that the story of the movie is not too strong.

No way, this is a common problem of art films, there will always be a sense of superiority, even if it is Zhang Baibai, who prides himself on being very down-to-earth, this is probably the so-called threshold for watching art films.

However, these questions were quickly channeled to the actors' performances through the pre-drawn script of the netizens.

To be honest, the audience is watching a movie to watch the excitement, especially the actors' performances are very superficial, and when they see that kind of emotional outburst, it is often "Wow, the acting is explosive!" ”

So Li Tang began to popularize some basic knowledge of acting to netizens, such as the explosive crying scene of "explosive acting" in what they think, which is an acting skill that can be mastered by acting students in the second year.

While popularizing the knowledge of acting, he also compares some performance details in the movie, such as the posture of walking, some small movements mixed in the performance, and other small details that are easily ignored by the audience, which are often targeted.

With such an explanation, netizens have a feeling of being sudden. In fact, this is called a professional barrier, breaking the barrier so that the audience can see what is inside, so as to improve the audience's viewing experience, rather than blindly watching the excitement.

This kind of ingenious exchange actually aroused the great interest of the majority of netizens, and they asked Li Tang about their understanding, and Li Tang also tried his best to answer. As a result, an hour and a half of netizen interaction turned into an acting lesson for more than an hour by Li Tang to netizens.

Seeing that netizens were so enthusiastic, the staff of Za Lang were also pleasantly surprised, and planned to put the content of the interaction between Li Tang and netizens into the headlines of the entertainment section for full text reporting.

……

Diao Yinan sat still very well, and sat there silently for more than an hour when Li Tang read the script, occasionally picking up the cup and blowing the tea leaves floating on it to take a sip of tea.

Li Tang read it very carefully, and the content of the whole article was roughly the same as the story that Diao Yinan told him last time. In the end, it is from the Chinese opera and literature department, and the writing is very smooth, which is to tell the story of a young man named Wang Xiaojian, who made a small wave in his life because of an accidental incident, and since then he has lived a dual life as a tailor and a traffic policeman.

Although the plot setting is very reminiscent of Wang Zuolin's "False Phoenix", it is neither an allegory nor a Gogolian satire, but an attempt to show a society besieged by the atmosphere of industrial decline and urban despair.

This is actually very easy to understand, Li Tang has this feeling in his hometown. You say that farmers work hard, but farmers can at least grow their own food, have their own land to grow vegetables, raise pigs, raise chickens, and if the environment is good, they can go to the river to fish and touch shrimp, and go up to the fields to catch yellow eels and loaches.

But the people who live in the city are different, especially in the throes of social transformation, where all food, clothing, housing and transportation need to be costly. The wave of layoffs hits, the income plummets, and when you can't make ends meet, you really have a sense of despair that you can't survive.

What is rare is that the script does not deliberately sell suffering and bizarreness, and the words exude a taste of simplicity and going with the flow. And these fall on the protagonist Wang Xiaojian, but it makes people have a more complicated feeling.

How so?

It's like when you are substituting into the characters, first of all, the pressure of life makes you anxious, and in the anxiety you have nothing to do, so you have fantasies, fantasy and reality undoubtedly make you more painful, and it is precisely because of this pain that you get spiritual sweetness in fantasy, when you hope to get sweetness in reality, then there is only endless waiting.

Li Tang breathed a sigh of relief after reading the script and looked out the window, the weather is good today, and the wind is beautiful. It's just that autumn has arrived, and the lawn that was once full of green begins to slowly turn a little yellow, mixed with green, which inevitably gives people a sense of staleness.

That's right, this is the hue called "Uniform", like a realistic daydream.

When Li Tang raised his head, Diao Yinan's gaze looked over at the right time, looking forward to his evaluation of the script.

Li Tang was not in a hurry, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said straight to the point: "Teacher Diao, how much investment do you need?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Diao Yinan, who seemed to be calm, obviously showed surprise, he didn't expect Li Tang to be so direct, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Li Tang smiled: "The script is very well written, I have a sense of picture when I read it just now, and it can be made into a movie." You also said before that you want to be your own director, I think it's good, our company can invest. ”

The characters of this script are very simple, that is, the protagonist Wang Xiaojian and a female clerk in a video store who works part-time as a woman who has lost her footing. The scene is also very simple, just a tailor shop, and most of the rest of the plot is the protagonist pretending to be a police officer wandering around the street.

The characters are simple, the scenes are simple, and the investment will not be large. Li Tang didn't even need to communicate with Zeng Jia to make a decision directly.

"Uh, Mr. Li, this is a bit sudden, I haven't calculated it carefully." Diao Yinan stumbled.

When he was thinking about this script, he had a chat with Yu Liwei, and he also connected with Chief Jia through Yu Liwei. According to them, let him make the film first, and they can provide some help during the process, such as putting on the name of a producer. If the quality of the film is really good, you can also help him promote it to overseas film festivals.

Of course, Section Chief Jia and Yu Liwei are not philanthropists either, and the so-called help is not to invest money in you, but the premise is that you have to shoot it first and get their approval before you can recommend it.

But even this is already a great help, after all, many directors haven't had this opportunity these days.

Li Tang asked to read the script before, and he thought of this problem, but compared to his influence overseas, Section Chief Jia must surpass Li Tang. Perhaps, with the recommendation of Chief Jia, he can enter a platform that spreads more widely.

It's just that before that he has to make a movie, which is the biggest difficulty he faces, after all, he has no money. At this time, Li Tang expressed his willingness to invest, which was equivalent to solving his urgent need, and although Li Tang did not have as much influence as Chief Jia, he also had a relationship overseas, and he picked up Cheng Er with one hand and helped Zhang Baibai go to Venice to show his face, which is a clear proof.

However, it is still his indecisive character, he has already agreed with Yu Liwei and Section Chief Jia before, and now he wants to put them aside and cooperate with Li Tang, which is always a little inseparable.

He hesitated for a moment, and said cowardly: "Thank you, Teacher Li, it's just that I ...... this matter Well, I still need to think about it, I'm sorry. ”

Li Tang was a little disappointed, but he also knew that Diao Yinan's character was not very cool, so he said very simply: "It's okay, I'll hear back after thinking about it." ”

In fact, he is not worried about this matter, Diao Yinan has not suffered a loss, and his thoughts may be a little naΓ―ve. But it doesn't matter, what's the hardest thing about making a movie? It's just a money word, even if you are talented, it's useless if you don't have money.

What's more, Diao Yinan's circle itself is not big, and there are Zhang Yang, Liu Zhan, Zhang Baibai, Meng Jinhui and others around him, even if he doesn't figure it out for a while, those friends around him will help him figure it out.

……

"You're stupid! Do you know how rare such an opportunity is to invest in you? You still said that you want to think about it, I don't understand, don't you want to make a movie? Or maybe you can't take the wrong medicine, right? ”

After listening to Diao Yinan's stammering statement at the dinner table, Zhang Yang suddenly got up.

The first update, there is!
