Sure enough, Xiaopang blurted out: "The reporter doesn't stare at it twenty-four hours a day, and there is Sasha to help cover it." When I came here just now, I came out of the back door of the hotel, and no one noticed me. ”

It seemed to be a temporary idea, and Li Tang, who got the answer, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, it was impossible for him to be passively defensive, so he took advantage of this opportunity and immediately said: "I may not stay here for a few days, and I will go to the capital in two days." ”

"What's the matter, there's something going on in the company?" Chubby said busily, and at the same time felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"The company has been very busy recently, and the "Surprising Win" filmed by my senior brother will be released at the end of this month, and the early publicity, distribution, and all aspects of the relationship will be busy for a while. In addition......"

Speaking of this, he hesitated, originally he didn't want to ruin Chubby's mood so early, but in a hurry, in order to dispel Chubby's temporary intentions, he could only make this decision.

"In addition, I took over a drama that will start later this month, and I have to connect with the crew in advance."

"What kind of play, so urgent?"

"It's not in a hurry, I handed over the book at the end of last month. is a martial arts drama, called "Ping's Shadow", the script is very good, and it is still directed by Director He Qun. ”

"It's "The Shadow of Ping", I've heard of this play, and I've heard that it's also being cast on the Internet, the male number one has the highest number of votes, are they really looking for you?" Chubby's eyes widened suddenly, and he said with a look of surprise.

"Maybe, I didn't pay attention to the voting before, and I only found out after I took the script." Li Tang replied, and then wondered: "No, why haven't I heard you talk about this before?" ”

The two talk on the phone almost every day, and there is no reason why she doesn't tell herself about this kind of thing!

“……”

Xiaopang was speechless for a while, because this was what He Rundong told her. When filming in Lijiang, Xiaopang was almost schizophrenic when he played two roles, and the shooting task was heavy, so he didn't have the energy to go online or anything. It's He Rundong, after all, Americans, who are relatively trendy, carry a laptop with them, play games, surf the Internet, and visit forums when they have nothing to do.

But at that time, it happened to be the time when the two had an affair, and Xiaopang was afraid that Li Tang would misunderstand, so how dare he mention things related to He Rundong on the phone.

"Oh, I've heard people say that, too."

Chubby replied vaguely, and then diverted the topic: "Hey, what about the female number one?" I heard that Little Swallow has the most votes. ”

Speaking of Xiaoyanzi, I have to say more, don't look at Xiaopang and Xiaoyanzi as debuting together, but they hardly contact each other in private, mainly because the gap between the two is too big. In the past two years, Xiaoyanzi has starred in "The Battle of the Top of the Forbidden City", "Unparalleled in the World", "Shaolin Football", and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", which will be released this year.

"People can't stagger their schedules." Li Tang said.

Everyone in the circle understands that the so-called staggered schedule is a euphemistic excuse.

"Who is the female number one?"

Li Tang waited for the words of Xiaopang, this thing pretended to cough lightly twice, and said with a look of embarrassment: "I also just found out two days ago that the candidate for the female number one is...... Uh......"

Seeing that he looked like he was spitting out, Xiaopang's face suddenly turned condensed, and he said suspiciously: "Who, don't tell me that it's Jiang Qinqin?" ”

Hey?

Li Tang suddenly realized that Chubby's biggest enemy turned out to be Teacher Jiang!

He hurriedly said, "No, no, uh...... The producer is Gao Yuanyuan. ”

"Gao Yuanyuan?"

Chubby's voice suddenly rose an octave.

Li Tang hurriedly explained: "I didn't know it before, I just got the news two days ago......

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted angrily by Xiaopang: "You are stupid, can't you see that the producer did it on purpose, just to use the previous scandal between you and her to create a gimmick......"

Halfway through speaking, she suddenly reacted and said suspiciously: "No, even if you are confused, Sister Jiajia will not be negligent, didn't you ask who the female number one is before taking this play?" ”

Of course, I asked, not only the female number one, but also the candidates for other roles, including the behind-the-scenes production team. However, the candidate for the female number one was indeed undecided at that time, but Director He Qun and Mr. Fan of Jiangsu Funa Culture, the investor, assured us that they would definitely find a reliable actress. What do you think, Mr. Fan and Director He Qun have both guaranteed tickets, so what else can Jiajia and I say? The thing said with an innocent face spread out his hands.

However, at this time, he was still quite moved in his heart, after all, Xiaopang did not bother with Gao Yuanyuan, but simply considered himself, for fear that he would be used.

It's just that the play has been sung to this point, and it can only be sung hard.

Of course, Xiaopang is not so easy to fool, she looked at Li Tang and said sarcastically: "What about now, are you quite happy in your heart?" ”

"How is that possible? At that time, I said that I would not act! ”

When he said this, Li Tang was absolutely justified, because this was the situation at that time.

Xiaopang looked at his clear eyes, Rong had to believe it, and said in a slightly softened tone: "Then why did you agree again?" ”

Li Tang smiled bitterly: "Isn't that the contract already signed, and Mr. Fan personally came to Shanghai to explain to me, saying that the female number one candidate was determined by Director He Qun, and their producers definitely have no intention of hyping up." Mainly because she looks good in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and her acting is also good, so I ......"

I have to say that Li Tang's reason is flawless, but Xiaopang is still unhappy and says: "Cut, do you believe it too?" ”

Li Tang put on a sincere and helpless face and said: "Believe it or not, you can't even give face to Teacher Fan and Director He Qun, right?" And Jiajia also told me that even if the contract is signed, it is a trivial matter to pay some liquidated damages, mainly for fear of offending people. ”

The truest lies are often nine truths and one falsehood. What Li Tang said was true, and the only lie was that he knew that the heroine was Gao Yuanyuan, and he signed the contract after several tugging. It's just that he combined the two things of signing the contract and getting the script, making Chubby think that he had already signed the contract.

Although Xiaopang was very unhappy at this time, after all, she had been in the circle for so many years, and it was precisely because she understood that she would understand Li Tang's helplessness at this time. The relationships in the circle are complicated, and if you want to mix up, in addition to your image and business ability, what is more important is all kinds of relationships in all aspects, and the most taboo thing is to offend people, especially the big guys.

She was silent for a long time before she said reluctantly: "Look at it, those reporters don't know how to write about you two when the time comes!" ”

After just experiencing a false scandal, she has a little more understanding of the previous scandal between Li Tang and Gao Yuanyuan. At this moment, she especially understands the famous words of Grandma Xiaoqing, who is already in prison at the moment: It is difficult to be a man, it is even more difficult to be a woman, and it is even more difficult to be a famous woman!

It is precisely because of the explosion of "Jade Guanyin" that she will attract a scandal with He Rundong, like Li Tang is handsome, has good acting skills, and more importantly, is both famous and golden, how can it not attract the attention of the media?

Seeing the change in Xiaopang's attitude, Li Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to be relaxed: "They can write as much as they like, you can't manage this kind of thing, and you can't manage it at all." To be an actor or a star, if you earn this money, you have to suffer this sin. ”

"Yo, you can think about it! Let me ask you, did you have a kiss scene with her this time? ”

Li Tang has filmed many kiss scenes, but this is the first time Xiaopang cares about his kiss scenes, and it seems that she is still full of vigilance and mustard for Gao Yuanyuan.

"There is no kiss scene in a costume drama, at least I didn't see it in the script."

"Hmph, I don't care anyway. You're not allowed to have a kiss scene with her, uh...... Even if there is, it can only be borrowed, this is what you taught me. ”

Li Tang said deliberately: "In "Jade Guanyin", I saw you and He Rundong having a kiss scene. ”

"Fart, which eye do you have to see that I am really close to him, every time it is a good excuse, and I also ate garlic when I was shooting!"

Looking at the excited look on Xiaopang's face, Li Tang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and secretly expressed sympathy for He Rundong in his heart.

In fact, as an actor's kiss scene, it is unavoidable, and TV series may be fooled with borrowing, but the so-called borrowing of the movie amplified on the big screen is ridiculous, especially for literary movies, you must come to the real thing, otherwise you will not be able to convey the emotions to the audience. But there is a premise that actors generally do not stick out their tongues, which is a sign of respect for each other, unless it is difficult to control themselves when performing.

Li Tang has filmed so many scenes, and only had a tongue kiss with Zhou Xun and Teacher Jiang during filming, the former is Zhou Xun's initiative, and the latter is his own self-control when facing Teacher Jiang.

"Okay, I'm kidding you, you see you're serious. Okay, I'll go out grocery shopping in a moment, what would you like to eat? Li Tang hurriedly laughed.

"Hmph, don't eat it!"

Chubby pulled up the quilt and got back into the quilt.

She was angry that Li Tang had wronged herself, but at the same time, there was a hint of joy in her heart. The reason is very simple, the more Li Tang is entangled in his scandals and kiss scenes, the more he cares about himself.

At this time, she only paid attention to Li Tang and cared about herself, and she had her own in her heart, and everything else didn't seem to be so important.

Only a woman who feels loved and surrounded by love has a sense of security, on the contrary, the more jealous she is, the more she cares about it, which is a manifestation of lack of self-confidence and extreme insecurity.

……

Two days later, Li Tang said goodbye to the pacified little fat and stepped on the flight to the capital refreshed.

With the growth of age and experience, Chubby is still quite knowledgeable, or in this circle, they all understand each other's helplessness. It's just that Li Tang's helplessness may be in quotation marks.

"Brother!"

As soon as Li Tang came out of the gate, he saw Zeng Jia who came to wait at the pick-up gate.

"Hey, Jiajia, why are you here in person, Shen Lin?"

"I'm fine." Zeng Jia said with a beaming face.

"What, something?"

"Well, a great thing!" Zeng Jia couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

"Could it be that Cannes sent out the invitation, is it "Uniform" or "Incense"?" Li Tang couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

It should be said that compared with Venice and Berlin, the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival have always been less serious or friendly to Chinese-language films. Especially this year, so far the Cannes Organizing Committee has issued official invitations to three Chinese films, in addition to Lou Ye's "Purple Butterfly" and Wang Xiaoshuai's "Second Brother", there is also a "Robinson Crusoe" by Wanwan director Lin Zhengsheng.

Of course, before the nominations are officially announced, there may be films that will be invited one after another, but generally speaking, this probability is not large, unless it is strongly recommended by the filmmaker, or other factors.

This time, Shengtang Film and Television provided a total of two movies to MK2, to be honest, Li Tang didn't dare to have too much hope, as long as the two films could be shortlisted for one, even if it was the most neglected screening unit, he was satisfied.

As a result, I heard Zeng Jia laugh and said: "It's not one but two, "Uniform" and "Incense" have both received invitations. ”

"Really? Then why didn't you say it earlier? Li Tang looked incredulous.

"I just received the news from Hong Kong this morning, and I thought you were already on the plane, so I came over and told you in person. It may take two days for the official invitation to arrive. I've already called Juliet to confirm, and she told me that I don't need to think about the main competition unit, and it's probably a kind of attention unit. ”

"A kind of attention unit, it's okay, it's okay." Li Tang nodded again and again with a face full of surprise.

The Festival de Cannes is an official competition parallel to the main competition and second only to the main competition, focusing on the work of new international filmmakers and encouraging films of different visions and genres.

The Un Certain Regard section of Cannes is roughly equivalent to the Forum section of the Berlin Film Festival and the Rising Trend section of the Venice Film Festival.

Oh, and by the way, the Venice Film Festival's Against the Tide section has been officially renamed the Horizon section since this year.

"Now Ning Hao and Diao Yinan are not happy, go crazy!"

Both of them are rookie directors, especially Ning Hao, who hasn't even graduated yet. At that time, Cheng Er shocked everyone with a "Criminal", and now Ning Hao is one step further, with a graduation work shortlisted for the Cannes International Film Festival, which is comparable to his idol Jia Section Chang who was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival Forum Unit with "Xiao Wu".

"I'm going to wait until the official invitation arrives before I tell them the good news." Zeng Jia said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, let them wait two more days."

The reason why Hong Kong received the news is because the two films "Uniform" and "Incense" are nominally produced by Shengtang Film and Television (Hong Kong) Company, so that they can circumvent domestic censorship, and of course, they cannot be released in China.

The reason is very simple, if these two films are submitted for review, it is almost impossible to pass.

The state is not good, and the adjustment is ......
