"Li Tang, congratulations!"
"Xiao Li, it's okay! Keep up the good work and try to win the Best Actor Award in the future!"
"Oh, Li Tang... No, I will call you Teacher Li from now on! Teacher Li, congratulations!"
"Thanks!"
"Thank you, don't joke, you are all old-timers! Old mage!"
On Li Tang's first day back at work at the Drama Center, his colleagues congratulated him one after another. In the past, Li Tang came in through the back door. Although his colleagues would not reveal it in person, they would always have some discussions in private.
After Li Tang won the Huabiao Film Newcomer Award this time, most people were still convinced. In any case, Li Tang brought glory to the Drama Center and brought home honors.
As far as Li Tang is concerned, winning this award brings him not only honor, but also official recognition and affirmation. In a sense, it is a talisman.
Baldy Xu looked at Li Tang with very passionate eyes. Fortunately, he was still concerned about the identity of Li Tang's creditor and refrained from making sarcastic remarks.
"Boss, what's the look in your eyes? You've already won the Magnolia Award, what's the big deal?" Li Tang said helplessly.
Bald Xu still said a little sourly: "How can my award be compared with your Huabiao Award? Yours is a national award!"
"Okay, can I treat you to some old wine?"
"What's the point of eating old wine? Why not go with flower wine!" Xu Guangtou said righteously Lingran.
Li Tang deliberately teased him: "You really don't want to go? I heard that a group of foreign girls have come to Good Times recently. Don't you want to go see them and eat some foreign food?"
"Really or not, why didn't I listen?" Xu Guangtou said with a troubled face.
He is currently in a passionate love relationship with Xiao Taohong. Although they are still temporarily separated, Xiao Taohong will come to see him from time to time, and he will go to the capital to meet him whenever he is free.
But foreign girls, listening to it makes people's hearts flutter.
Go ahead, I seem to feel guilty, and more importantly, if my girlfriend finds out, things will be very serious.
But don't go, I feel itchy in my heart, and I always feel like I'm missing something.
Li Tang looked amused, but on the surface he said unceremoniously: "There are so many things that you didn't hear about. Are you going? It's just idle talk!"
"Well……"
After a fierce ideological struggle, Bald Xu was about to reluctantly say: Go and have a look. When he saw Li Tang's calm face, he instantly changed his mind and flatly refused: "I won't go!"
Li Tang couldn't help being surprised and said hurriedly: "You really don't want to go?"
"I really don't want to go." Bald Xu said firmly.
As he said that, he hummed twice and said: "Stop pretending to be timid. You red guy just came back from the capital. Who knows what bad things you have been holding back? You want to dig a hole and let me jump down, right? I don't." be cheated!"
How dare this fellow think he is Xiao Taohong’s spy?
Li Tang hurriedly said: "Conscience of heaven and earth, I don't even know your girlfriend. She is purely kind-hearted. You don't appreciate it, do you?"
"Help, are you so kind? Besides, I have to repay a loan of more than 2,000 yuan a month, and I have no money!"
"My treat!"
"I won't go to your treat. Tips are not cash. A foreign girl will pay you three bills. It's too expensive." Bald Xu's bald head shook like a rattle.
Li Tang watched this guy live and refused to be fooled, and finally understood what it meant: "No grass will grow on a busy road, and no hair will grow on a smart head."
This guy is so smart!
He could only say: "Then, let's eat old wine and cut it as usual?"
This guy suddenly became energetic and asked hurriedly: "Where are you going?"
"Xiao Nan Guo, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hui, take your pick, or go to Ren Zhenquan's place to eat Sichuan food."
"If you don't go to Ren Zhenquan, it will be so spicy that you will die!"
Baldy Xu had a look of disgust on his face, and pondered: "Xiaonanguo and Suzhehui are nothing more than that...or go to the Shanghai-Qingping Highway to eat seafood!"
"It's too far."
There are several seafood restaurants opened by Hu Jianren on the Shanghai-Qingping Highway across from Hongqiao Airport. Taking advantage of the convenient air transportation conditions of Hongqiao Airport, they specialize in fresh seafood.
"It's not far, it's not far. The Yan'an Road Elevated Highway was opened to traffic two days ago. Stop a car and drive over. It will take twenty minutes at most. I'll give you the money!"
Bald Xu's chest was beating loudly. In fact, the difference in copper coins back and forth was only a few dozen yuan at most.
After work, the two caught a taxi and went straight to the Shanghai-Qingping Highway. The Yan'an Road Elevated Road, which had just been opened to traffic, had six lanes in both directions and was smooth all the way. It really only took a lot of money to get to the Shuyou Hotel designated by Guangtou Xu. to twenty minutes.
Li Tang generously ordered two hard dishes - butter-baked lobster and steamed grouper.
I forgot to mention that the Huabiao Award comes with a bonus. Although the money is not much, it is enough to reimburse the travel expenses to and from Beijing and Shanghai plus the meal.
The two ordered a few bottles of beer and drank at the table.
When he learned that Li Tang had accepted another movie, Baldy Xu's originally high mood dropped visibly.
Li Tang pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Boss, what do you mean? You are jealous again, show me your face!"
Xu Guangtou shook his head and said with a frustrated expression: "It's not that I'm jealous, it's that I've been feeling directionless recently. In the past, I always wanted to act in a drama and strive to become an artist like Teacher Wei and Teacher Zhou. But on my last trip, I filmed a TV series From now on, I always want to film, but there aren’t many opportunities!"
What's going on? I met Wu Jing in the capital, and when I came back it was Baldy Xu. Do you treat me like a trash can, or do you treat me like a close brother?
Li Tang had no choice but to bite the bullet and comfort him: "Why are you so anxious? The movie "Zhu Bajie" you filmed has not been aired yet. When it is aired, if no one has approached you to film, I think you should just act in a drama with peace of mind. No matter where I can say that Magnolia’s Best Actor level is still in place.”
Bald Xu was amused by what he said, and he laughed and scolded: "You are a red guy, how can such nice words be so unpleasant when they come out of your mouth!"
Li Tang picked up the cup and clinked it with him, and said calmly: "I don't know about you yet. You want to film, just because you think money will come quickly and fame will come quickly. You are just afraid that you are not worthy of Xiao Taohong, so don't talk about art. If you are not artistic, why are you pretending to be an artist?"
Baldy Xu was really hurt by his words this time. He was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he took a deep drink, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "You red guy!"
It's just that Li Tang hit his mark, and the good words are hard to hear.
However, Xu Guangtou was also aroused by Li Tang's words.
There is a saying that Li Tang is right. When "Zhu Bajie" is broadcast, if no one asks him to film, then he will just be a drama actor and study hard to become an artist.
Since I have no direction now, instead of worrying about gains and losses, it is better to continue studying drama and improve my skills.
Baldy Xu figured it out, and it is said that he even invited Teacher Lu Liang from the Drama Center to work on the French classic comedy drama "Art". Those who didn't know it would have thought that this guy was running in the direction of the artist.
Because Li Tang accepted another movie, the center leaders were very supportive of this and no longer arranged for him to appear in the movie. As an actor, if he doesn't go on stage or rehearse, he doesn't even have to go to work, so he has enough time to study the script.
Mr. Lu originally planned to start shooting the movie "Broad Days" in early August, but it is still two months away.
The character Lei Haiyang has a lot of inner drama, which is about the redemption of the soul.
Inner drama, the performance term is called "mental image", is to unify psychology and action. This kind of thing is a bit metaphysical.
In fact, everyone has the cowardice in Lei Haiyang's heart. How to overcome the cowardice in his heart is the so-called psychological salvation.
This can only be performed by truly immersing yourself in the play and colliding with your opponents. So what Li Tang can currently prepare is how to perfect the characters in detail.
For example, Lei Haiyang is a car repairman. He goes to the car repair shop and squats when he has nothing to do. He observes some of the car repairmen’s habitual movements, some terminology when repairing cars, etc. The purpose is to let the audience know that you repair cars at a glance. , instead of saying that you are playing a car repairman.
In addition, Lei Haiyang is likely to be a child who grew up in an alley in Beijing. This was quite simple. He planned to go to the capital half a month in advance before starting the filming, and live in the Paoju Hutong for a while, soaking up the pyrotechnic atmosphere of the Beijing Hutong.
