The movie is not finished, the actor's task is completed. As for whether the movie can be completed and released in the future, all this is unknown.
The free and easy Zhou Xun was laughing and joking throughout the closing banquet, making a lot of noise and stirring up the atmosphere.
Li Tang raised a glass to her: "Sister Xiaoxun, see you again if we are destined!"
Zhou Xun's smile faded and he said in a formal tone: "It's raining on a cold night in the river. We are old friends in the world. How can we meet before?"
Hey, since when did you become so cultured?
Li Tang sounded familiar and didn't react for a moment.
Zhou Xun saw his stupid look and laughed loudly: "Silly, you don't even know "New Dragon Gate Inn"."
Oh, it turns out it’s a line from a movie and has nothing to do with being literate.
After the song ended and everyone dispersed, Zhou Xun rushed to report to the crew of "Da Ming Palace Ci". It was said that training was required before filming started.
Li Tang also returned to normal life.
Because he starred in two movies in succession, he got a role in the large-scale drama "Shang Yang" re-arranged by the Drama Center, a real A role.
"Shang Yang" is a traditional drama of the Drama Center, similar to "Teahouse" by Beijing People's Art Theatre. The leading actors are all veteran artists of the center. Li Tang plays a supporting role in it and is considered a representative of the center's young actors.
The rehearsal task is not too heavy, and I usually go home to spend time with my dad on weekends. He also transported the old Harley-Davidson motorcycle back to the countryside and did a major overhaul himself. Through his father's trust, he spent nearly 10,000 yuan to buy Zhang Hu A's yellow plate and re-register the license plate.
Due to the ban on motorcycles, local motorcycle license plates are now rising rapidly. The price has doubled from last year, which is almost the same as the price of auctioned car license plates, and it continues to rise.
Lao Li was very curious about his hands-on ability, so he didn't ask to the end when faced with his son's perfunctory answer. In Lao Li's eyes, when his son becomes more sensible and promising day by day, he will be satisfied, and nothing else matters.
Life is uneventful, and she occasionally receives calls from her ex-girlfriend. She actually joined the crew of "Da Ming Gong Ci" to play the role of Princess Anle Li Guo'er. She knew that Li Tang and Zhou Xun had just collaborated on "Suzhou River", and there was always a sour taste when talking about Zhou Xun.
The two of them are obviously about the same age, one is from a major and the other is from a wild background, but their status is a whole different level. The young Taiping played by Zhou Xun is considered the third female lead in the play, and she is just a supporting role. Moreover, even though she has been cast as the leading female role in a movie, she is still running around on various crews, making her feel envious and jealous!
His ex-girlfriend was very busy and had no time to bring that kind of thing to her door. One night, Li Tang suddenly woke up from his dream with a shiver and shivered. He changed out of his wet shorts and felt melancholy: Should he find a girlfriend?
It has been suppressed for a long time and needs to be released. In addition to increasing the amount of exercise, he no longer refused Baldy Xu's invitation to have flower wine.
It can be said that this company has been very proud of itself recently. After the performance of "The Color of Stocks", this drama that represents Shanghai's humanistic characteristics, like "Under the Roofs of Shanghai" and "Seventy-two Tenants", received rave reviews.
On this day, Li Tang came to a KTV and opened the door of the private room. Oops, it was pitch dark inside, with loud disco music. Only the projection on the wall flickered and gave off a faint light. A group of men and women were dancing wildly. .
Li Tang thought he had gone to the wrong place. Just as he was about to exit, he heard Xu Guangtou's voice: "Li Tang, come on, come on, this way."
Taking a closer look, this guy was wearing a fancy hat today. No wonder it was hard to recognize without reflection.
The music stopped and the lights came on. Li Tang looked at the group of young ladies who usually played with Bald Xu.
After saying hello and sitting down, Li Tang asked, "Didn't you say that the old master is here?"
"He's an uncle from the People's Liberation Army, so it's inconvenient." Bald Xu wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Besides, you also know that his family has come to Shanghai."
Lao Fu is Xu Guangtou's classmate and good friend. He debuted very early. He filmed the movie "Daughter's Red" as soon as he graduated. At that time, Zhou Xun was a supporting actor, and he was the male lead. Later, he was selected as an outstanding graduate of the theater. Assigned to the military art troupe.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the military art troupe was very popular. For college students like him, if they joined, they would be treated like officers and could also get housing.
As for the girl in his family, she is also an alumnus of the theater. She is one year ahead of Li Tang. She is a beautiful and gentle girl, a good wife and mother. The year before last, Lao Fu went back to his alma mater for recruitment as an outstanding student representative. He took a fancy to her at first sight and recruited her into the art troupe under the pretense of working for his own good. Unexpectedly, the gentle-looking senior is very tough at heart and keeps the romantic old man in check.
This time, Lao Fu came to Shanghai to film a TV series. Unexpectedly, the senior sister also came with him.
"Hehehe."
Li Tang gloated twice and said, "Then say hello to them later. When they are free, I'll treat them to dinner."
"Okay, I'll call and ask tomorrow."
These days, red wine mixed with Sprite and foreign wine mixed with green tea are popular in KTV. Firstly, they sell more, and secondly, they are afraid of drinking fake wine.
Li Tang refused to drink this and took a Corona beer to toast.
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Guangtou, who was slightly drunk, pulled him aside and said mysteriously: "Someone asked me to film a movie."
"Movie?"
"No, TV series."
Baldy Xu may have felt that compared to Li Tang's movies, filming his own TV series would be a bit cheap, so he hurriedly asked, "Does Fan Xiaotian know?"
"have no idea."
"Tsk, deputy editor of "Zhongshan" magazine!"
Writers are easy to respect. "Zhongshan" is a well-known magazine in China, and the name of a deputy editor is enough to make people look at it.
"oh!"
Although he had never heard of this name, Li Tang was still in awe.
"He has now left the magazine and set up a cultural and arts company, and is preparing to shoot a TV series with mythological themes."
"This is okay!" Li Tang's eyes lit up.
Mythological themes have always been very popular, and TV series such as "Journey to the West", "Liao Zhai", and "Ji Gong" are all memories of this generation. He even feels that familiar cartoons such as "Tian Shu Qi Tan", "Calabash Baby", "Nezha" and so on can be remade into movies and TV series.
"What fairy tale?" he asked again.
"It has something to do with "Journey to the West". It can be regarded as a prequel story to "Journey to the West"." Bald Xu said not sure.
"Are you playing Sun Monkey?"
"No, the prequel to "Journey to the West" tells the story of immortals, and Sun Monkey hasn't jumped out of the cracks in the rocks yet. According to Mr. Fan, it is probably a series of stories. It has just been set up at the moment. He is planning to find some Hong Kong The screenwriter and the mainland screenwriter create together.”
"Tsk, what can a Hong Kong screenwriter write?" Li Tang said disdainfully.
Although Hong Kong movies and TV series have been extremely popular in the mainland in recent years, he feels that this is caused by the cultural differences between the two places. In terms of culture and artistry, including the acting skills of the actors, there is no standard in the eyes of experts. Just watching the fun.
Bald Xu said thoughtfully: "I have thought about this too. On the one hand, it is probably to enhance the story; on the other hand, it may also be because Hong Kong has no cultural gaps and has experience in creating stories about gods and monsters... Anyway, let’s brainstorm ideas!”
Although he likes to drink wine and pick up young ladies, he is still very pursuing in art. Recently, he originally planned to engage in avant-garde drama, but this TV series with mythological themes still attracted him.
We must know that in the West, both "Homer's Epic" and ancient Greek myths have been put on the artistic stage. Just like domestic "Journey to the West", "Feng Shen Bang", "Liao Zhai", "Ji Gong", etc., their artistic value is very high. High.
Moreover, he does not have Li Tang's vision of transcending the times. These days, Chinese people still look up to foreign cultures, and even the culture of Hong Kong and Taiwan. He feels that a series of mythological and ghost film and television dramas such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "White Snake" are still very mature. of.
More importantly, or what he didn't say out loud in his heart, was that in the past six months, he had watched Li Tang make movies one after another, and his heart was inevitably filled with all kinds of envy and jealousy. Although his plays are very successful and are even strong contenders for this year's Magnolia Award, compared to movies and TV series, plays are still niche after all!
