"Of course he's okay!"

Ning Hao was poor at first, and then said with a sad face: "It's rare that Teacher Xu Zheng can afford this drama so much, but Teacher Li, the role of the security section chief has already been chosen." ”

"Who?"

"Mandarin actor Guo Tao is the one who played Chunsheng in "Alive", and the previous "Diamond Commandment" was played by him, and the effect was quite good. I discussed it with Zhang Cheng and Xiaojun, and decided to settle on him. Ning Hao hurriedly explained.

Guo Tao and Li Tang not only know but also know. At the beginning, the actor of the first version of "Rhinoceros in Love" made by Meng Jinhui was him, and his acting skills have absolutely nothing to say, in addition to "Alive" directed by Zhang Yimou, he also starred with Wang Tong in Wang Xiaoshuai's "Flat Dan. Girl", the film was also shortlisted for the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival in '99 at the time.

In fact, Li Tang also just received a call from Xu Guangtou yesterday, it turned out that Ning Hao sent an email to Xiao Taohong not long ago, touting Xiao Taohong in the email, and saying that she was her fan and loyal admirer, and then invited her to play the role of the female number one in "Big Diamond", and also attached the script.

It's just that what he didn't know was that Xu Guangtou and Xiao Taohong shared the same mailbox, and the email that Xiao Taohong didn't see was seen by Xu Guangtou first.

Ning Hao, I just won the Special Attention Award in the Attention Unit at the Cannes Film Festival, and it is a hot time. As soon as he saw that it was Ning Hao's invitation, Xu Guangtou suddenly became interested and read the script carefully, and was actually attracted at once.

Don't look at Xu Guangtou, who has always regarded himself as a serious drama actor, but since "Zhu Bajie" became popular, all the TV series he acted in were costume light comedies.

From the perspective of a serious drama actor, these roles are very unpopular. But it can't be helped, you have to make money.

Now, he has a house, a car, and a wife, so he wants to try some different roles. The previous postponed "Surprising Win", he worked very hard. Because he also serves as the producer of "Surprising Win", Ning Hao just misunderstood that he was the supervisor sent by the company to the crew.

Of course, Xu Guangtou knew that Ning Hao was the director of Shengtang Film and Television, because he was not familiar with Ning Hao, he simply called Li Tang and tried to go through the back door to win the role of the male number one security section chief in "Big Diamond".

To be honest, Li Tang really wanted to play this role at the beginning, after all, this is a role that has never been tried before. But the current situation is that he has already taken over "Ambush on All Sides" directed by Zhang Yimou, and he is still the male lead, just kidding, this is a big production with an investment of up to 100 million!

At this time, Li Tang finally understood why Matt Damon would give up "Manchester by the Sea" in the future and go to the Great Wall to fight monsters.

This is not a joke at all, a Class A blockbuster with a big director and a new director with a small budget, how to choose is clear at a glance.

That's why he promised Xu Guangtou to help him match Ning Hao, and he also made it clear to Xu Guangtou on the phone that the company would not interfere with this drama, and the director Ning Hao would be in charge. This sentence aroused Xu Guangtou's great envy and jealousy at that time.

This product has always had a dream of being a director, someone has invested in it, and he has dreamed of the opportunity to wave it without interference.

Li Tang sent him away with a word: "If you can come up with a reliable script like "Big Diamond", no problem, Shengtang Film and Television will still invest in you without interference, but the premise is that you have to sign a contract." ”

But now comparing Guo Tao and Xu Guangtou, the role of the security section chief in the script who has little pursuit, but is very persistent and upright in his personality is indeed more suitable for Guo Tao, who looks honest and honest on the outside, as for Xu Guangtou, it really doesn't match the word "integrity", and it's almost the same as playing a profiteer.

Li Tang couldn't help nodding, and at the same time joked: "Originally, I also wanted to play the chief of the security section, but fortunately I didn't mention it, otherwise it would be quite faceless, oh?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Ning Hao suddenly came over and said, "Teacher Li, are you testing me?" You said that you have such a big wrist, of course, to be able to star in my movie, of course, it is something that you can't ask for. Originally, I specially tailored a role for you, although there are not many scenes, but it is absolutely brilliant, and I don't know how to talk to you! ”

When Li Tang heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "After talking for a long time, you still don't agree to me to play the head of the security section!" ”

"No, no, no!"

Ning Hao hurriedly explained: "Teacher Li, listen to me, I think so, I think it's really not worth spending two or three months on my play." Besides, haven't you already taken on the new movie directed by Zhang Yimou, there will definitely be conflicts in this schedule. That's why I've specially prepared for you such a schedule that won't take up too much time, but is guaranteed to be absolutely brilliant. ”

Hearing that this product was absolutely brilliant, it aroused Li Tang's interest, and he couldn't help but say: "Oh, which character, shouldn't it be the real estate boss?" ”

Because he thinks that in addition to the security chief, he should be the villain of the real estate boss, and he can't let himself play a little thief.

Ning Hao blinked his eyes and said, "Teacher Li, what do you think of the role of an international thief?" ”

"International thieves?"

Li Tang couldn't help but be stunned, and said in surprise: "Isn't this a foreigner's character?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to find a foreigner to play this role, but after thinking about it, I was afraid that the foreigner would not be able to play the effect I wanted. You think, why do international thieves have to be foreigners? We can't Chinese it, or it's the kind of overseas Chinese, uh...... It's similar to the French Foreign Legion or mercenaries, anyway, it's a good skill, and it's a particularly professional kind at first glance. Look at you, you are already good at martial arts, there is no problem with action scenes for you, and your foreign language is very good, just play the kind of role that is very good, very professional, and at the same time speaks a fluent foreign language, but the Chinese is very stiff. In this case, the comedic effect comes out all at once......"

Originally, out of inertial thinking, and the original script did not pay much attention to the international thief, Li Tang instinctively thought that this was a foreigner character.

At this time, after listening to Ning Hao's tirade, I felt that it made sense, it was nothing more than describing a character similar to "ABC", and it was indeed quite comic if you imagined it carefully.

In the end, Ning Hao also pointed to the script in Li Tang's hand and emphasized: "The current script has strengthened the role of the international thief Mike, I think as long as you read it, you will definitely be interested in this role." ”

Originally, Li Tang said that he wanted to defend the role of section chief was joking, but now when he heard that Ning Hao really planned to let him play a role in this play, he inevitably hesitated, for only one reason, that is, he was worried that there would be a schedule conflict with the new movie directed by Zhang Yimou.

"When are you going to start this show?"

"At present, the filming location has been decided, and now I am working with Lao Bao to make shooting plans, including preliminary preparations, looking for actors, uh, if everything goes well, it may start in September." Ning Hao groaned.

It's already the end of June, and if it starts in September, it's only a little more than two months to get full, so it's really time to count it and it's still quite tight.

Li Tang also secretly thought about it in his heart and said: "I can't answer you right now, first I have to let me read the script, and the other is what you just said, if there is a conflict with the new movie directed by Zhang Yimou on the schedule, then I can only say I'm sorry." ”

Ning Hao was immediately anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Teacher Li, don't mind!" This is our own company's movie, there has to be a big guy to press the line, besides, you are the boss of the company, you have to help no matter what! ”

Hey, the fox's tail is finally revealed, and he just wants to borrow his name to attract attention, no wonder he will boast about the role of the international thief Mike.

With Ning Hao's usual chicken thief style, this thing will definitely make use of all the resources that can be used. But what he said is right, after all, it is a movie invested by his own company, and as a boss, he has to find a way to contribute, and if the future movie is popular and good at the box office, it will be a win-win result.

However, he hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "I really want to help with this, but if there is a conflict between the schedule, I really can't help." But don't worry, if the movie can be released smoothly in the future, then I will definitely cooperate with the promotion in the name of the producer. ”

He thinks about this kind of thing very clearly, and after the filming of "Ping's Trace", his focus will be shifted to the new drama "Ambush on All Sides" directed by Zhang Yimou.

Being able to play the role of the male number one in the film directed by Zhang Yimou is believed to be the highest goal for all Chinese actors, and this may be the only opportunity in his life. He would never lose his watermelon and pick sesame seeds, even if it was a concession from the film invested by his company.

Ning Hao showed a look of disappointment, and just wanted to open his mouth to lobby, but after thinking about it, everything has not yet been settled, and even Li Tang himself is not sure, saying that everything is in vain.

It happened that Zeng Jia walked in at this time and said, "Brother, the seat of the Diyuan Restaurant of the 21st Century Hotel has been booked, and I have also informed Brother Zheng and Sister Taohong that they will arrive on time." ”

Li Tang raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was almost half past five in the afternoon, so he stood up and said, "Okay, then we should also set off now." ”

After speaking, he also looked at Zeng Jia and asked, "Jiajia, are you really not going?" ”

Zeng Jia still shook his head, pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother, just spare me, I still have to work!" ”

Ning Hao, who was on the side, immediately cleaned up his mood and once again showed his symbolic, but at the same time very confusing honest smile.

Speaking of which, today is the first time he is fortunate to be able to meet the goddess Xiao Taohong in his heart face-to-face, and he can also sit at a table to eat, in addition to looking forward to it, he is still a little nervous in his heart.

The second update!
