Chapter 420: It's Ugly
On February 10, it was still at the peak of the Spring Festival, and there was an endless stream of people arriving at Pudong Airport, wearing masks, ski hats, and a long down jacket.
The filming of "Drifting" went quite smoothly, and it took less than a month to complete the full battle, and it was successfully completed yesterday afternoon. He gave his assistant Zhao Luoyao a holiday and flew back to Shanghai alone in the morning.
"Brother Li, Happy New Year!"
"Oh, Don, Happy New Year! Great work! ”
It was Jiang Qinqin's assistant Xiao Tang who came to pick up the airport.
On February 1, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" premiered on a number of TV stations at the same time, Zhejiang TV is also one of them, two days ago, Mr. Jiang was invited to participate in a talk show with the crew of Zhejiang TV, and by the way participated in two commercial performances in Hangzhou, just returned to Shanghai to live for a few days, do you say it is a coincidence?
"Brother Li, the car is parked in the parking lot." As he spoke, Don was about to reach out and take the suitcase in his hand.
"I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself." Li Tang hurriedly grabbed the lever of the suitcase, and at the same time apologized: "I've kept you waiting." ”
Domestic flight delays are commonplace, especially during the Spring Festival, Li Tang's flight was originally scheduled to arrive at half past ten in the morning, but it was still delayed by an hour, counting the time to get on and off the plane to check in the luggage, it is now almost twelve o'clock at noon.
"It's fine!" Don Jr. smiled.
Pudong Airport is huge, and there is a certain distance from the airport hall to the parking lot.
"Little Don, how is the New Year? When you go back this time, are your parents still asking for a blind date? ”
"What's the matter, Sister Qinqin is really, why do I tell you everything!" Don Jr. was embarrassed.
Speaking of which, Xiao Tang has been following Jiang Qinqin for six or seven years, and he is not a small boss. Although she looks average, her income is not bad, especially when she works next to big stars, it is said that she is definitely a hot commodity in her hometown, and every time she goes home, someone will come to her door to propose marriage.
When Li Tang first met Jiang Qinqin, he met Xiao Tang at the same time. After so many years, especially the relationship between him and Teacher Jiang is so close, he naturally treats Xiao Tang like his own.
"In the past, I couldn't go home because of work, and I was always homesick, but this time Sister Qinqin gave me a month off, but I didn't stay at home for a few days, and I felt uncomfortable everywhere, and I couldn't wait to come out to work immediately. Fortunately, Sister Qinqin has an activity this time, otherwise she would have stayed until the fifteenth day of the first month, and she would be annoyed to death. ”
Xiao Tang was born in the countryside, after graduating from high school, he was admitted to the capital to study for a junior college, and his major was the administrative management of the street that is about to rot, and after graduating from the junior college, she wanted to stay in the capital, and she applied for Aunt Qiong's Zhongjie brokerage culture company, and became the assistant of Jiang Qinqin, who had just signed a contract with Zhongjie Company, until now.
is accustomed to the prosperity of the city, especially in the entertainment industry, and it is a world of flowers, and now Xiao Tang is incompatible with his rural hometown, let alone those local dogs in the countryside.
And Xiao Tang also bought a house in the capital early, and he was also in Wangjing. At the beginning, the house price was more than 4,000, a two-bedroom apartment of about 90 square meters, the down payment was more than 100,000 yuan, the loan was 300,000 yuan, and it was paid off in 15 years, and the loan was repaid more than 2,000 per month. For Xiao Tang, whose nominal annual salary is only 30,000 yuan, but the boss stuffs a red envelope from time to time, and his annual income has already exceeded 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, there is no pressure at all.
"By the way, there's no problem with terminating the contract with Zhongjie Company this time, right?" Li Tang asked.
Mr. Jiang's brokerage in Zhongjie's company expired as early as the end of last year, and Li Tang was busy with the publicity task of "Hero" at that time, so he didn't bother to ask.
"It's just that it was a little unpleasant at the beginning, but Sister Qinqin's attitude is resolute, and there will be no problems in the future, so it can be regarded as a good gathering and dispersing."
"Then you, and your sister Qinqin has talked to Jiajia?"
"We've talked a few times on the phone, but Sister Qinqin still wants to ask your opinion again."
Last year, Li Tang discussed with Jiang Qinqin, that is, he suggested that she set up her own studio after the contract expired, so that she was relatively free, and she could take the drama if she wanted to, and if she didn't want to take it, she wouldn't accept it. At least you don't have to fill up the work for you every year like in Zhongjie's company, even if you are not satisfied with the role, you can't shoot it.
And because Jiang Qinqin was afraid of trouble, Li Tang also suggested that she hang the studio under Shengtang Film and Television Company, so that resources can be shared, and at the same time, Shengtang Film and Television can help manage it through investment, so as to reduce the management cost of the studio.
To put it bluntly, it is to let Mr. Jiang's studio and Shengtang Film and Television be deeply bundled, in addition to business bundling, more importantly, people are also tied together.
In fact, compared with career-oriented women like his ex-girlfriend and Fan Xiaopang, Mr. Jiang is still quite Buddhist, and he doesn't want to be popular, but he just wants to be at peace with what he encounters and earn some money.
This probably has something to do with her experience, if it wasn't for Zhongjie's company pressing her too much, she was so busy that she couldn't see each other a few times a year, and her ex-boyfriend wouldn't have broken up with her.
As the saying goes, only those who have lost will know how to cherish it. It is precisely because of this that Mr. Jiang will cherish the relationship between himself and Li Tang even more, even if there is a Fan Xiaopang in the middle, he still has no hesitation.
"By the way, the past two days have been going well in Hangzhou, right?" Li Tang asked again.
"Well, it went well. On the first day, I participated in an interview with the crew, and on the second day, I ran two commercial performances, which were very good. ”
Compared with other places, the organizers of commercial performances in Zhejiang, where the commercial atmosphere is relatively strong, are quite generous, especially in the first month, even Xiao Tang's follow-up assistant actually received two thick red envelopes, and Xiao Tang is still happy when he thinks about it now.
Li Tang turned his head and saw that the corners of Xiao Tang's mouth were upturned, and he looked happy, and couldn't help but say, "What do you think of good things, say it and listen to it." ”
"Uh......"
Xiao Tang has been an assistant for six or seven years, and one of the skills he is most proficient in is probably reading words and feelings. She knew that if she said that she was complacent about receiving two red envelopes, she would not be able to arouse Li Tang's interest at all, and she would even think that she was hinting at asking for red envelopes.
So he had an idea and said, "No, I just thought of something quite funny. ”
"What's funny?"
"The day before yesterday, after the crew recorded a talk show on Zhejiang TV, they also held a press conference, at which a reporter asked Mr. Li Yapeng a question, saying that netizens said that what is described in the book "Shooting the Condor", including the 83 version of Huang Rihua played by Han Guojing, and how could Han Guojing be played as a fool in this play......"
Before Xiao Tang finished speaking, Li Tang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Netizens are really talented, not to mention, the word stupid is used...... Well, it's quite vivid.
Li Tangqiang couldn't help but smile, and asked again: "What did Li Yapeng say?" ”
"What else can I say, of course, I was very angry. In the past, everyone said that Mr. Li Yapeng had a good temper, but it was the first time I saw him so angry! He said: Is what the netizen said right? I prefer to talk about this drama to the audience who have watched it, rather than what netizens say. What else do you say now that it's an excuse for irresponsibility on the Internet, uh......"
Saying that, Xiao Tang also secretly glanced at Li Tang, and said: "What are you doing, it's your news some time ago, and said that this is also said on the Internet, but in the end, it doesn't prove that this is a rumor." ”
After speaking, he quickly glanced at Li Tang's face secretly.
Although Li Tang always had a smile on his face, he was very unhappy in his heart. If everyone is good friends, it naturally doesn't hurt you to take this topic out and make jokes. But in order to refute netizens, it is not appropriate for you Li Yapeng to take out my scandal to talk about it, the key is that your friendship with Li Yapeng is not at all enough to take out the other party's affairs and talk about it.
To be honest, when he was filming "Shooting the Condor", the relationship between him and Li Yapeng was always very ordinary, even if it was for the sake of Zhou Xun in the later stage, he occasionally had a dinner party or something, but that's all.
How so?
may be a subjective impression, although Li Yapeng is happy all day long, looking harmless to humans and animals, Li Tang always feels that this person is very empty and not real at all.
Xiao Tang saw that Li Tang didn't speak, and said cautiously: "There are also reporters who said on the Internet that Mu Nianci played by Sister Qinqin is not as good as Mu Nianci played by Yang Panpan in the 83 version, and Sister Qinqin is also very unhappy. ”
Speaking of this topic, Li Tang couldn't help but sigh and said: "This is normal, how many plays Yang Panpan has in the 83 version, and how many plays does Sister Qinqin have in this version now, this can't be compared at all." ”
In fact, speaking of which, Li Tang was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Dabeard. When he took over this drama before, in order to prepare, he watched the 83 version of "Shooting the Condor".
In this version, Guo Jing and Yang Kang are basically the role positioning of the two male protagonists, even if their respective roles can't be said to be five or five, it is almost half a catty, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Yang Kang and Mu Nianci These are two parallel love lines, each of which is interpreted very well and completely.
But in this version, there is a big gap between Guo Jing and Yang Kang, Li Yapeng has played Guo Jing in more than 500 scenes, and Yang Kang has only played more than 100 scenes.
Originally, Li Tang didn't take this to heart, because he agreed to play the role of Yang Kang, to put it bluntly, he returned the favor. But after the film came out, that is, before the VCD and DVD were officially released to the public, Zhang Dabeard sent someone to send a set, which was a sneak peek. But after watching it, he found that he and Jiang Qinqin played Yang Kang and Mu Nianci A lot of scenes were cut.
In this way, these two characters, who originally had fewer scenes, inevitably became very weak. It is equivalent to highlighting the two characters played by Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun, but he belittled himself and the characters played by Jiang Qinqin in disguise.
Pudong Airport is very large, from the airport hall to the parking lot walked for a full ten minutes, Li Tang didn't know where the car was parked, followed Xiao Tang all the way through the parking lot, when approaching a black brand new Guangzhou Honda Accord, I saw Xiao Tang take out the key and press it, accompanied by a "click" sound of the door unlocking, the double jump lights of the new Guangben that had just been launched this year were lit at the same time.
"Huh, this is your new purchase?" Li Tang couldn't help but be surprised.
Although this seventh-generation Accord was about to rot in the previous life, this year it is a proper new model, and Li Tang has only seen it in TV commercials so far, and this is the first time he has really seen it outside.
Not to mention, this seventh-generation Accord is significantly different from Zeng Jia's sixth-generation Accord in appearance, compared with the old Accord's stability, this one presents an obvious sporty style in appearance, and the appearance is more beautiful.
Li Tang also noticed that not only did the car not have a license plate, but also a temporary license plate of Zhejiang A was placed in front of the windshield.
I couldn't help but say again: "You bought this car in Hangzhou?" ”
"Yes, I bought it in Hangzhou yesterday, and Sister Qinqin and I drove it back from Hangzhou overnight last night." Don Jr. said with a smile.
“……”
Li Tang was speechless, but it was normal to think about it. With Mr. Jiang's pride, the 1.8 million Shimao Binjiang house is said to be bought, let alone a car.
Xiao Tang opened the trunk, helped Li Tang stuff the suitcase in, and said: "Brother Li, I forgot to tell you, Sister Qinqin participated in two commercial performances in Hangzhou yesterday, one of which was the opening ceremony of Guangben Four S Store. ”
"So this car is worth the exit fee?"
"How can it, the appearance fee is only 200,000 yuan in total, and this car is also paid more than 80,000 yuan with the purchase tax. But it's still cost-effective, I heard that if the new Guangben wants to pick up the car immediately, at least 30,000 yuan will be needed for an expedited fee, and we will save at least 30,000 yuan. ”
"Okay, you're amazing!"
Li Tang smiled and Xiao Tang gave a thumbs up, just wanted to open the co-pilot's door, hesitated, and asked, "Are you familiar with the route?" ”
Xiao Tang heard the sound and knew what he meant, and immediately took out the car key and said, "Brother, then you can drive it." ”
Men love cars, especially new cars, and they can't help but try them.
The new Accord is light to drive and accelerates quickly.
It is very convenient to go from Pudong Airport to the World Trade Center Riverside Garden, from the airport to turn along the Yingbin Expressway to the Outer Ring Expressway to Longdong Road, along Longdong Avenue to Longyang Road all the way to the end, turn to Pudong South Road, basically all the way smooth, the whole journey is less than half an hour.
When entering the basement of the community, Li Tang was about to find a parking space to stop, but Xiao Tang said: "Brother Li, drive directly to the elevator." ”
The car drove to the elevator and stopped, and Xiao Tang helped Li Tang take the box out of the trunk and said, "Brother Li, I won't go up, bye!" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Li Tang to answer, he turned around and got into the cab, and drove in the direction of the exit as soon as he drove away.
Xiao Tang is still very clear, just like the last time he came over, Xiao Tang didn't even show his face.
Li Tang dragged his suitcase, walked into the elevator, and pressed the floor.
The elevator went all the way, and his mood was also full of excitement. Speaking of which, he and Mr. Jiang haven't seen each other for a few days, so it can be regarded as a reunion after a long absence.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the floor, Li Tang dragged the box out of the elevator, and deliberately walked to the door of another household on the same floor to look, there was still no trace of anyone moving in.
After all, it has been less than a year since the opening, and the luxury house is always more investment-oriented.
I have to say that after the scandal last time, it still made him a little psychological.
Then he walked briskly to the door of Mr. Jiang's house and pressed the doorbell.
The sound insulation is very good, and you can't hear the footsteps inside when you stand outside the door. The doorbell rang a few times, and the armored door of the mansion opened from the inside, and I saw Mr. Jiang with a ball-combed hair and a kitchen apron appear at the door.
Li Tang, who was smiling and quite excited, was about to step forward to hug him, but he saw Teacher Jiang glance at his short-cut hair and pouted, "It's ugly!" ”
