Chapter 439: A martial arts drama
As soon as Li Tang drank a cup of tea and ate two crystal shrimp dumplings, he saw Xu Guangtou driving his Sail SRV in a hurry, and the car was parked in the temporary parking space on the opposite side of the street, and when he walked over, he saw Li Tang sitting at the window of the street, and suddenly showed a reluctant expression.
Xu Guangtou walked in and sat on the chair opposite Li Tang, and while instructing the waiter in the store to add a set of utensils, he spat at Li Tang and said, "Boss Li, you have a spicy hand, a phone call will let me pull out of the hole in the quilt." ”
Today, there are two big stars in the store, and the boss personally delivers the tableware. Speaking of Xu Guangtou, he is also familiar with it, when Xu Guangtou still lived on Changde Road, he often came to patronize, but after moving to a new house, he came less.
Li Tang personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Guangtou, and said with a smile: "It's not too early for Chenguang to call me, it's almost eight o'clock at seven o'clock." Look, now Allah is sitting here, don't be too comfortable eating morning tea! How can it be, shouldn't my sister-in-law have an opinion? ”
"No, Yi went to filming. Last night, I went out with the old man to play in white (play), and now I just slept at two o'clock in the morning. As Xu Guangtou spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of rice noodles, dipped it in soy sauce and stuffed it into his mouth.
To emphasize, eating rice rolls is dipped in soy sauce, which is the same as northerners eating dumplings with vinegar.
Hearing the old man, Li Tang couldn't help laughing and said, "Didn't Ella's wife come with her this time?" ”
"Of course I didn't come along, otherwise this Biyang would dare to fight?"
Xu Guangtou glanced up at Li Tang, thinking of the tragic experience of the old man back then, and laughed along.
This guy ate two bites of cheong fun, looked at the store again, and nodded: "Well, this cheong noodle tastes good!" There was a period of Chenguang who didn't come, but I didn't expect Xiao Guangdong to be big now. ”
At this time, the boss came over with a plate of freshly baked shrimp and red rice sausages, and hurriedly said with a smile: "General, general, Mr. Xu, Nong is too polite!" ”
As he spoke, he brought the plate to the table and solemnly introduced: "This dish is a special feature of Ala Xiaoguang, please taste it!" ”
"Hey, I don't seem to have any order?" Li Tang couldn't help but say.
The boss smiled: "Send it!" It's not earlier than the old one, and it's rare for the two of you to come here, and this snack counts my heart. ”
"Yo, boss on the road, thank you!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome, two slow use, call me if you need to."
Shanghai people do business, even if you have a big brand, it is absolutely impossible to get a free order, and sending a special snack is already considered a face boss.
Red rice sausage, as the name suggests, is red rice rolls. As soon as the plate was served, Xu Guangtou took a clip, dipped it in the spicy soy sauce with Shanghai characteristics, put it in his mouth and chewed it crunchy, and couldn't help but praise: "Well, it's delicious!" ”
Li Tang also hurriedly took a bite to taste. In one bite, the smooth and soft casing, then the golden and crispy breadcrumbs, which have been squeaking in the mouth, and finally the whole mouth is filled with tender and elastic shrimp. Although it is only a small piece of red rice sausage, it has three different feelings and tastes.
In the end, it's a signboard, and the taste is blind!
The plate is quite large, and there are eight sections of red rice sausage in it, four sections for one person, and it is swept away in an instant.
Li Tang took a sip of tea with a satisfied face, and then said: "Big man, how can you shoot "Winning by Surprise"?" ”
He asked Xu Guangtou to come out today, just to learn about the situation of the play "Winning by Surprise". The company has invested in a total of three films this time, Diao Yinan's "Uniform" and Ning Hao's "Incense" are both filming progressing very quickly, and the rough cut version has also come out early, and now there is this "Surprising Win" directed by Wu Bin and produced and starred by Xu Guangtou. Although the film has been completed, a rough cut version has not yet been seen.
"Oh, so my boss wants me to report to work today. Wait a minute, let me take two more bites. ”
Xu Guangtou ate another shrimp dumpling, two pork ribs, and took a sip of tea, then wiped his mouth with a towel and slowly said: "I am honest, the script of this play is a good script, and the actors are of course not bad." Especially Director Wu shouted the other two old guys, it's really amazing, if I collapse a little, I won't be able to connect it at all. The only fly in the ointment is ......"
The guy paused for a moment before continuing: "It's Director Wu, maybe it's not too old to control comedy......
When Li Tang heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied: "Big man, don't forget that Nong is the producer!" ”
"Ah, listen to me gossip, what's the hurry, of course I'm responsible! Overall, this film is still good. The Chenguang film I came back from the last trip has been almost cut, and it is estimated that the rough cut version will come out soon, and Chenguang Nong will know it when he sees it. ”
When he said this, Xu Guangtou's face was full of stinky farts.
Don't look at Xu Guangtou's speech, it seems to be very out of tune, but Li Tang knows that this thing is very demanding in terms of doing things. It can be seen that this product is very satisfied with the "Surprising Win" starring and supervising by him this time, so Li Tang estimates that this movie is at least not a big problem in terms of production, so he can rest assured.
"Since everything is going well, will Nong be able to watch this film be released at the end of next month?" Li Tang thought about it and asked again.
Xu Guangtou muttered: "As long as the review speed is fast, it shouldn't be a big problem." Nong means ......"
As he spoke, he looked at Li Tang and stopped talking.
Li Tang smiled slightly: "That's right, Chen Guangnong has to cooperate with the publicity." I'm counting on Nong to sell tickets for this film. ”
The cast of the movie "Winning by Surprising" is only Xu Guangtou is a well-known actor known to the public, and others may play the air shell of the second male lead, and Wang Jinsong, who is also the head of Nortel's performance department, can barely be familiar, and others, including director Wu Bin, are not well-known.
Li Tang saw that Xu Guangtou was silent, and continued: "Anyway, no matter what you can, Nong will help me at least free up half a month's Chenguang ...... from the end of next month to the first half of May."
Before his words fell, Xu Guangtou hurriedly said: "Don't come to Thi for half a month, I still have two plays in hand now, one will start next month, I am the male number one, and I will ask for leave for half a month as soon as I start it!" ”
"Big man, if that's the case, then Nong won't be on the road too much. Nong's own agreement is that Nong picked me to invest in the original investment, and I also asked Nong to be the producer and be in charge of this movie. Oh, now that the movie is finished, is the mission completed? Nong, don't help me joke! Is it responsible, you have to be responsible in the end, if Nong doesn't participate in the promotion, who will this film be released to? ”
Seeing that Li Tang said that he would turn his face, Xu Guangtou hurriedly explained: "I didn't say that the task was completed, I mean it must be difficult for Nong to let me run for half a month, but a week...... Well, at most ten days, I went to Chenguang to discuss with the crew, I guess I'm here! ”
"Tsk, big guy, Nong looks, Nong didn't say it earlier! Ten days is ten days, and I will go to Chenguang to try to run a few more places. Big guy, this movie depends on Nong, Nong is the signature of this movie, the audience buys Nong, and they will definitely buy tickets to watch it! ”
Li Tang said that in the end, he smiled with satisfaction again.
Seeing this, Xu Guangtou could only say helplessly: "Li Tang, this guy Nong, it's not true, it's not fake, it scared me just now." Oh, by the way, Nong is still the boss, run to Chenguang! ”
Li Tang shook his head and said, "I don't have time, I have to go to the Cannes Film Festival in Chenguang." This trip to Lou Ye's "Purple Butterfly" and Wang Xiaoshuai's "Second Brother" is the movie I made during the Chinese New Year, and they both received invitations to Cannes. And the other two films of my own company are also being registered through the French MK2, and even if Chenguang can't be shortlisted, I hope to make an appearance. ”
Xu Guangtou sat there stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then showed a bitter smile and said, "Tie the stick!" ”
He knows very well that what he is producing and starring this time is just a low-cost commercial comedy, because of the difference in cultural background, he does not have the conditions to go abroad to participate in the exhibition, and can only flutter in China.
Listen to the Lou Ye and Wang Xiaoshuai who just came out of Li Tang's mouth, they are all representative figures of the so-called sixth generation of directors in China. Especially Lou Ye, he likes Lou Ye's works very much, and of course he especially wants to cooperate with Lou Ye, but ......
Li Tang is Lou Ye's little brother, so he is naturally the first to get the moon near the water.
In the past few years, Li Tang has been running in Venice and Cannes, although he did not go to Berlin, but last month's "Hero" was still shortlisted for the main competition unit, which is equivalent to the work running all over the three major European film festivals.
Not only that, Li Tang has even set up his own film company, and he has already mastered the right to speak to a certain extent, including that he is not still relying on his snort.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Guangtou suddenly realized how funny he was in front of him just now!
In the past, he might have secretly envied and jealousy, but now there is only envy left, and the jealousy is long gone, because the gap between the two is getting wider and wider, and it has reached a height that makes him look up and unattainable.
Li Tang naturally didn't know that Xu Guangtou would have so much inner drama at this time, seeing that he had almost eaten and the matter was almost discussed, so he said: "Big guy, it's almost over?" Do Nong Pay or Do I Pay? ”
Xu Guangtou immediately rolled his eyes at him, and his resentment turned into a cold snort: "As long as Nong is good!" ”
Li Tang had to smile and beckon the waiter to come and pay.
Seeing Li Tang obediently take out his wallet, Xu Guangtou snorted arrogantly in his heart, and his mentality was finally balanced.
After separating from Xu Guangtou, Li Tang slowly returned home.
Exercise in the morning, drink morning tea, and mix it up most of the morning. Seeing that the time was almost half past nine in the morning, he hesitated whether to call Gao Yuanyuan. Today he plans to take Yuanyuan to Zhujiajiao for a walk, go there for lunch first, visit the ancient town in the afternoon, and then go to Dianshan Lake to play if he has time.
He could harass Xu Guangtou by phone in the early morning, but at this point, he was still afraid that he would disturb Yuanyuan. After all, girls always have to sleep beautifully.
Just when he hesitated, Gao Yuanyuan actually took the initiative to call, and when he saw the name displayed, he really felt a little embarrassed.
"Hey, Yuanyuan, get up!"
"Brother Li, I'm really sorry, I just received a call from the company, saying that there is a drama looking for me and asking me to rush back immediately. The company has also booked a flight for me at noon, and I'm about to leave now. Gao Yuanyuan said eagerly and reluctantly on the phone.
When Li Tang heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, the work is important." Then I'll send you to ......"
As soon as he was halfway through his words, he immediately realized that the two of them were secretly photographed at the airport last time, and they still have to send them off?
Fortunately, Gao Yuanyuan immediately said: "No need, Brother Li, I have already ordered a car here, you don't have to come over, and you don't need to send it." ”
When Li Tang heard this, he immediately got off the donkey and said, "Okay, pay attention to safety, and call me when you get to the capital." ”
"Well, okay, Brother Li!"
Gao Yuanyuan's voice on the other end of the phone finally carried a little joy, after all, it is also a happy thing to be missed by a loved one.
After hanging up the phone, Li Tang breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling relaxed but faintly regretful at the same time.
He put his phone on the coffee table and just sat down on the sofa, but the phone vibrated again.
When I picked it up, it was Zeng Jia's.
"Hey, Jiajia, what's wrong?"
"Brother, I received a script here, and Director He Qun sent someone to send it, it is a martial arts drama......"
The second watch, whispering for a ticket!
