If Lou Ye is one of the representatives of the so-called sixth generation of directors, then Zhang Yuan is the leading figure of the sixth generation of directors.
The most awesome thing about this guy is that he made the first independent film in China, and all three of his films won international awards.
And because he, like Zhang Yimou, graduated from the Department of Photography of Nortel and was not a serious director, he was once dubbed "Zhang Yimou second." But this guy is very awesome. He openly stated that he didn't want to be "Zhang Yimou second", but he wanted to be "Zhang Yuan first".
In 1993, this guy committed suicide and made a documentary called "The Square", which was banned by the relevant departments for five years. It caused a sensation at the time.
But there is no denying that this guy is a good director.
If missing out on a good script was acceptable, then missing out on a good script and a good director one after another, Li Tang didn't even know what his ex-girlfriend's brain was like.
Li Binbin said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you just now that the schedule is not suitable and the money will be insufficient!"
Then she emphasized: "The main reason is that the schedule is not suitable. I wanted to go to Hong Kong for Christmas last year, but I didn't make it. This year I have to go no matter what!"
"Be careful not to regret it later."
"Tch, what's there to regret?"
Li Binbin is all about money now. For her, filming is work, and work means making money. Ask her to give up her cherished vacation and take on low-paying jobs. She won't do it if she's not the number one female lead.
"..."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Li Tang was completely speechless.
He inexplicably remembered a widely circulated story in his previous life: Matt Damon refused to star in "Manchester by the Sea" and went to fight monsters on the Great Wall.
Forget it, it’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words.
Li Tang drank a glass of wine depressedly, looked at his ex-girlfriend's innocent and carefree look, and asked: "Then what date did you book the flight for?"
"Number twenty-three."
When it came to going to Hong Kong, my ex-girlfriend suddenly became excited: "I have thought about it. We will arrive on the evening of the 23rd. We will go to the hotel to rest first. The next day we will go to Ocean Park and then to Victoria Harbor in the evening. There will be a fireworks show on Christmas Eve there." "We went shopping on the third day, and there were so many things in the women's street there..."
"Wait a minute, let me make it clear first, I have no money!" Li Tang interrupted mid-hearing.
"No money? I won't spend your money, at worst I'll treat you!" Li Binbin looked disdainful, but then frowned and looked at Li Tang suspiciously: "That's not right, shouldn't you have no money? "
She knew exactly how much money Li Tang had when they broke up. In addition, Li Tang's wife in the United States would give him five thousand US dollars in living expenses every year. Since this year, he has been filming movies and TV series, and the money is only It will be more or less.
Li Tang had no intention of hiding it from her, and said frankly: "I just bought a small yard in the capital last month. I spent all the money and took on a loan of 400,000 yuan."
Li Binbin was shocked and asked quickly: "What kind of yard did you buy? How much did it cost?"
"It's just a small courtyard. As soon as you enter the courtyard, there are seven rooms, just over the artillery alley. Let me tell you, this courtyard is quite neat..."
Before he finished speaking, his ex-girlfriend interrupted: "You are sick. You don't know how to buy a building. What kind of bungalow do you want to buy? Are you being taken advantage of by others?"
"Uh... no, it's just me. I like that kind of courtyard house." Li Tang explained.
But his ex-girlfriend glared at him and said angrily: "It's hot in the summer, but there's no heating in the winter. You have to run half a mile to go to the toilet. I think you have money to burn!"
"..."
There are some things that Li Tang really can't communicate with his ex-girlfriend, but then again, it was said that Brother Cheng Long was deceived a few years ago and spent 4 million to buy eight shabby yards in the capital. He was ridiculed in the circle for a long time. .
Early the next morning, Li Tang was awakened by a rapid ringing of the phone. I was in a depressed mood last night. I drank a little too much and woke up feeling a little dizzy. My head was throbbing and aching.
"Who..."
But his ex-girlfriend covered his mouth.
"It's Sister Hua, don't make any sound!"
Sister Hua is just Sister Hua, no fuss.
Li Tang muttered secretly.
He had always been resentful towards Sister Hua. In fact, he had always been resentful towards Sister Hua. He and his ex-girlfriend broke up, and Sister Hua must have played a "significant role" in it. But now his mentality has calmed down a lot. Becoming famous and breaking up are a normal thing and are common all over the world.
The ex-girlfriend answered the phone, and at first she was umming and ah-ing, and it was pretty normal, until the ex-girlfriend said: "I won't answer, I'm going to Hong Kong, and the air tickets are all booked..." After that, the voice on the phone It became intense.
The volume of the microphone was very loud. Even though Li Tang was still a little confused, he could still vaguely hear Sister Hua's roaring voice: "If you still want to be an actor like this, what kind of actor do you want to be? Why don't you go home and have a baby as soon as possible..."
It seems that this agent still has some vision.
However, his head throbbed again, which made him frown. The potency of this rice wine was a bit too strong, so he would drink less in the future.
I don't know how long it took, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that his ex-girlfriend was sitting on the bed in a daze, and the phone had already been hung up.
"What's wrong?" he asked sitting up.
Li Binbin turned to look at him with a mournful expression on his face and said, "We can't go to Hong Kong."
"Why...oh, Sister Hua doesn't let you go?"
"Well, she said she wanted me to take Zhang Yuan's role. She also said this was an opportunity and told me not to give up."
Li Tang was happy when he heard this: "You will listen to whatever Sister Daqinghua says, but you will just think it's farts if I say anything."
"No, she is my agent after all... Oh, it's so annoying. I really want to go to Hong Kong. Now I can't go, and I can't go home during the Chinese New Year!" Li Binbin pouted, looking depressed. .
"If you really want to go, it's easy. Just call Sister Hua now and tell me that if you don't pick up, it's over. I worked hard overtime on the filming and finally wrapped it up in advance. Why, you sent me away without even saying a word?" "
Li Tang deliberately added fuel to the fire. When he looked up, he saw his ex-girlfriend glaring angrily and yelling at him: "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
With that said, he lifted up the quilt, got out of bed with bare feet, and walked out.
"Hey, why are you going?"
"Pack your bags and report to the crew!"
"then what do I do?"
"Who cares about you? You can go wherever you fall in love."
"Then don't forget to refund the flights and hotels you booked. It's a lot of money!"
Li Tang stretched his neck and shouted outside, with a gloating smile on his face. He didn't want to go to Hong Kong in the first place, but now he could save a lot of money.
…
"Now that you've accepted it, you should perform well and don't be careless!"
"knew."
"Although the role of the female police officer is not the leading female role, there is still a lot of room for her to play. Maybe she will be a double heroine. Seize the opportunity and win an award or something in the future..."
"Oh, are you annoyed? You can't park here for up to six minutes, or the police will come." Li Binbin interrupted impatiently.
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything!"
After working on it for a long time, Li Tang left first.
Since he was not going to Hong Kong, there was no point in staying in the capital, so he directly booked a flight back to Shanghai that day.
On the ex-girlfriend's side, because the crew is currently in a small city in Hebei, Sister Hua arranged for a commercial vehicle to leave tomorrow, so the ex-girlfriend drove Li Tang to the airport first.
"Hello!"
Just as Li Tang unbuckled his seat belt and was about to get out of the car, he was grabbed by his ex-girlfriend.
Her eyes were full of tears, and she said pitifully: "You're just going to leave like this?"
"oh."
Li Tang quickly opened his arms, pulled his ex-girlfriend into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and comforted her like coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, don't be sad. We can't go this year, next year, and the year after that." If you have a chance, I will accompany you when the time comes..."
His ex-girlfriend was twitching in his arms. Even though she was usually quite strong, she could also be very fragile sometimes.
When Li Tang got out of the car, the clothes on his chest were wet.
