On June 20, Li Tang, who was pushing his suitcase, felt a heat wave as soon as he walked out of the airport hall.

Compared with the cool climate of Ningxia, the capital is too hot, according to the weather forecast, the highest temperature in the capital in the past few days is above 35 degrees.

In early summer, the capital in the north tends to be hotter than Shanghai in the south. At this time, Shanghai is generally in the rainy season, and although it is humid, it is still cool. The capital is different, during this period of time, it is basically the scorching sun, dry and hot, and the nose is easy to bleed if you are not careful.

"Teacher Li, you have worked hard!"

The driver, Shen Lin, was already waiting at the door to greet him.

"Master Shen, I'm in trouble."

Li Tang handed the suitcase in his hand to Shen Lin and hurriedly got into the car. The cool temperature in the car finally gave him a sigh of relief.

After a while, Zhao Luoyao also sat in the passenger seat, turned around and asked, "Mr. Li, shall we go back to the company first?" ”

"Yes."

Li Tang nodded, and then said, "You don't have to go, let Master Shen send you home directly in a while." ”

The little assistant has also worked hard during this time, and it is not easy to stay up with him day and night, for more than 20 consecutive days.

Zhao Luoyao was not polite, and said, "Then I'll go back to the small courtyard and put your luggage before going home." ”

"Well, you've worked hard during this time, take a good rest at home for two days, there's nothing to do here."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Li."

From the end of May to yesterday, he rushed for more than 20 days of plays, and finally completed the filming tasks at various scenic spots in Ningxia ahead of schedule, five days ahead of schedule.

In fact, the shooting did not go well at the beginning, and the stumbling was mainly due to Gao Yuanyuan's body. But since the showdown between Yun Lei and Zhang Danfeng filmed on the Gobi Desert, Gao Yuanyuan seemed to have opened up all of a sudden, and the progress was swishing, and it took less than half a month to complete the planned 20-day shooting task.

But it's strange to say, before Gao Yuanyuan liked to run to her room to talk to herself about the script, but since she finished filming the scene in the Gobi Desert, she hasn't come.

And the current relationship between the two......

How so?

In the past, Li Tang knew that Gao Yuanyuan liked him, and he confessed. And she does not shy away from her love for herself, always approaching in every possible way, and always being frank and open. But since that scene, she seems to have changed her style, no longer approaching actively, but has a feeling of being away. This feeling is very similar to Yun Lei's feelings for Zhang Danfeng in the play, she does not take the initiative to approach, and there is always an ambiguous feeling entangled while keeping a distance.

Is it too deep into the play?

This is always a good thing for filming, and they can be more involved with each other. The only thing Li Tang can do is not to take the initiative to provoke others.

Gao Yuanyuan's change in style before and after is like a composite of Xiaopang and Teacher Jiang, which is very lethal to him, and if he is not careful, he may fall into it, and when the time comes, he will grab a handful of dry flour with wet hands, and he can't shake it off.

At present, the crew still has a few finishing scenes to shoot in Yinchuan, and today he left the crew ahead of schedule. Because he received a call from director Zhang Yimou, the drama script of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" was finally finalized, and on June 21, that is, tomorrow, the main creators of the crew made an appointment to meet in the director's studio and officially entered the preparatory work before filming.

Fortunately, the "Shadow of Ping" he is filming now has already been filmed, and the rest of the scenes are filmed in Huairou Film and Television City in Beijing and Shidu near Beijing, and it is estimated that it will be completed in a month at most, and it will not affect the preparation of the new play.

Speaking of Zhang Yimou, the new drama directed by Zhang Yimou has changed its draft several times, and it is also full of twists and turns. As early as the filming of "Hero", the director discussed the script with screenwriters Li Feng and Wang Bing, and the original name was "Bright Moon. Throwing knives.

But the director was never very satisfied with the script, especially after the success of "Hero", the director asked the script to be completely different from "Hero". For example, the characters in the film don't use swords, they all use knives. So the storyline with "Flying Knife Gate" as the core was born, and the name of the script was changed to "People in the Rivers and Lakes", which is the version that Li Tang had seen at the beginning.

But it was just the skeleton of a story, and when the specific flesh and blood were filled, the name was changed to the poetic "Wind, Leaves, Sword, Knife". The name is mainly used in conjunction with the plot.

Later, because of the success of "Hero", it also caused a lot of criticism, and the focus is that there are only gorgeous pictures, and the director will not tell the story. Especially after returning home at the Berlin Film Festival, followed by the failure of the Olympic Games, the director decided to change the way he talked about films, no longer working behind closed doors with screenwriters Li Feng and Wang Bing, but invited more than a dozen young writers, directors, and critics to his studio to participate in the discussion, and asked them to give their opinions on the script of the new film as a reference.

What the director never expected was that this discussion almost became a "criticism meeting" of the new script, and many industry insiders who participated in the discussion bluntly put forward their own criticisms, the most acute of which was the famous screenwriter Zou Jingzhi, the famous screenwriter of the hit drama "Kangxi Private Interview" series and "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" series, he almost completely denied the script, and said a particularly unpleasant sentence: "Every character looks too careful, but in fact, there is nothing to do!" ”

It is said that this sentence greatly stimulated the director, who worked on the script throughout the epidemic, and after finalizing it, the name was also changed to the current "Ambush on All Sides".

Of course, the above is all gossip circulating in the circle, but it is true that the director invited writers, directors, and critics to participate in the discussion of the new script, and it is also true that the final version of the script and the name of "Ambush on All Sides" are also true.

Especially after the new script was invited to be discussed, the news that the director was going to open a new play spread in the circle all of a sudden, and for a while, big names from all walks of life were ready to move, and there were many people who set friendships, trusted relationships, and even self-recommended.

This made Li Tang very worried about whether his role would be pried. Sometimes, even if the director agrees, in the process of real casting, he finally encounters all kinds of helpless things, such as the interests of investors, distributors, including higher-level authorities, etc., and has to compromise.

It wasn't until he received a call from the director this time that he completely let go of his hanging heart, so he rushed back as soon as possible after filming his scene.

"Brother, it's hard work!"

As soon as Li Tang arrived at the company, he didn't have time to drink saliva, and he didn't even sit down on his buttocks, when he saw Zeng Jia walking in with a large stack of documents and smiling.

"You've got to let me catch my breath first, right?" Li Tang couldn't help complaining.

Zeng Jia sorted the documents one by one and put them on the desk: "These are signed and waiting to be recorded, so as not to delay it until next month; These are filed and also need to be signed; And this, the company is going to sign a few new people recently, and it needs to be signed by the boss......"

"Come on, you'd better make me a cup of coffee first. You'll introduce me to me when I'm signing. Li Tang sat down on the sofa, put his feet on the coffee table, and waved his hands without any image.

Zeng Jia didn't urge him, and went out to the pantry downstairs with a smile to help him make a cup of hand-ground coffee. Every time Li Tang explained her affairs, she never pretended to others, and always did it herself.

When she handed the coffee to Li Tang with her own hands, Li Tang put her feet down from the coffee table, sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Take a rest first, take a slow." ”

Smelling the aroma of coffee, Li Tang knew that this was the coffee beans from Maronou, France, that he brought back from his last trip to Cannes. Faronou is a well-known brand of French coffee, Maronou's coffee beans are roasted with the finest Arakabi beans using its unique traditional simmering process.

Of course, this kind of coffee beans are very expensive, and it is impossible to open up the supply in the company, so Zeng Jia must have freshly ground it for himself.

"Ning Hao just came back two days ago, and he has already found a filming location." Zeng Jia sat down on the sofa next to him and chatted with him.

"Where?"

After Li Tang and Ning Hao negotiated last time, while asking professional screenwriters Zhang Cheng and Yue Xiaojun to help him improve the script, he took his classmate and good friend Du Jie in Nortel's photography department to find suitable filming locations all over the country.

When Li Tang was talking to him on the phone some time ago, this goods and Du Jie were still inspecting in Wuhan.

"Chongqing!"

"Chongqing?"

Chongqing is Mr. Jiang's hometown, and Li Tang has been to Chongqing twice during the previous roadshow promotion, but both times he just passed by in a hurry. The only thing that impressed me was the two nicknames "Mountain City" and "Fog Capital" from the city of Chongqing.

Because this is a city built on the mountain, the most are the various steps, and the roads in the city are also high and low, one after another. At that time, he thought that the drivers who could drive in this city must have a very high driving level, because if they were not careful, they would slip, after all, at that time, there were still most cars with manual gears.

The other thing is that the weather over there is always foggy, especially in the morning, when the road is very wet. When he sees the weather in Chongqing, he always thinks of Mr. Jiang's snow-white and delicate skin.

From the perspective of geographical determinism, it may be that it is the humid and foggy weather here that creates Mr. Jiang's good skin. This is the same as hatching bean sprouts, only in the environment of water vapor transpiration can the bean sprouts be hatched, and the water can be produced with a pinch.

Chongqing is located at the confluence of two rivers, built on a hilly mountain along the river, there is a feeling that the city is on the mountain, and the mountain is in the city. Due to the narrow roads in the city, I always feel that the city is very lively, and the smell of hot pot seems to be lingering in the air.

Reminiscent of his memory of Chongqing, a city full of magic, he suddenly found a natural fit with the storyline in the script of "Big Diamond".

The first more, there is
