During his stay in the capital, apart from practicing martial arts, Li Tang would wander around the alleys in the morning and evening. Being popular has the advantage of being popular. The uncles and aunties in the alley are all loyal viewers of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge II". When I look at Li Tang, hey, Xiao Jian! Everyone is very enthusiastic.
Of course, he was a little over-enthusiastic at first, but as time went on, everyone got used to it. Just like neighbors, everyone chatted together and introduced some of the customs and customs of the old capital, which gave Li Tang a lot of knowledge.
The years were originally peaceful, but a piece of news in late July broke the tranquility.
"Jin Suo Qiong Yao goes to court, Qiong Yao: Fan Binbin will always be a maid here with me"
The general meaning is that with the popularity of the two "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", Fan Binbin asked for unilateral termination of the contract after the fire, and Aunt Qiong Yao's company sued in anger. The article criticized Fan Xiaopang for burning bridges and being ungrateful. Aunt Qiong Yao said bluntly in an interview: Fan Binbin will always be a maid here and cannot be mentioned on the stage.
Li Tang knew that Xiao Yanzi had already terminated her contract with Aunt Qiongyao's company, and there was no news about it from the outside world. Originally, he thought that Fan Xiaopang's termination of the contract would be equally uneventful, but he did not expect such a result.
He quickly dialed Xiaopang's phone number.
"Hey, how are you doing?"
"What else can I do? That's it..."
Xiaopang's voice was a little hoarse. He paused for a moment and said, "Have you seen the news?"
"Well, why are you so angry?" Li Tang asked.
The lawsuit will not only be detrimental to Fan Xiaopang, but also have an impact on Aunt Qiong Yao's company. If they didn't break their skin, they probably wouldn't have reached this point.
"I wanted to terminate the contract, but the company asked me to pay liquidated damages, and they said they couldn't lose even a penny. One million! I'm not a little swallow, how could I have so much money, so the company sued me for terminating the contract without authorization. , I want to pay one million!"
"Didn't you say before that the contract doesn't count?"
"Yeah, so we sued too."
"How is the situation now?"
"We are currently undergoing mediation. The lawyer told us that it is impossible not to pay a penny. After all, Aunt Qiong Yao is an influential person. He also said that their investment in filming in the mainland is similar to foreign investment. Now they are all open to the outside world. , I have to consider the impact. If things really get serious, it will be very detrimental to me. So I can only pay for it! Mediation is to discuss how much liquidated damages to pay." Xiaopang said helplessly on the phone.
"..."
Is there such a saucy operation?
Although Li Tang didn't understand the specific legal terms, the last time he heard Xiaopang said that if he was under 18 years old and without the consent of his guardian, the signed contract would not be counted, it should be true, otherwise child labor would be legal. But why do we have to fight so hard and lose money when we can obviously win the lawsuit?
Maybe the law is flexible.
"Then...if you need any help, just ask!" Li Tang said after a while.
The main reason is that he lacks the confidence to buy a house and lend Xu Guangtou money. He now has no money at all, and even if he wants to help, he is powerless.
"whee!"
But Xiaopang smiled on the phone and said in a brisk voice: "Teacher Li, you are the first one to call and ask for help. Don't worry, my parents and I are prepared. If they are still not satisfied, the worst is possible." To the end.”
Hearing this, Li Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Xiaopang really asked him for help just now, what kind of help would he get? He couldn't sell the house. Maybe he could only go to Senior Lu to advance his salary.
Only then did he realize what "paying lip service but not delivering the truth" means, and he somewhat despised himself for being so hypocritical.
"Okay, remember to call if you have any difficulties. I may not be able to help you much, but I can at least give you some advice." He finally added.
"Well, thank you, Teacher Li!"
This phone call somewhat surprised Li Tang. Xiaopang was not as helpless or miserable as he had imagined, but was instead very calm, which was very rare for a girl under the age of eighteen.
Perhaps from this moment on, Xiaopang has really grown up. How could a person who could become a big star in the future not have a strong heart?
…
"Old Wang, long time no see. What have you been busy with recently?"
Li Tang accidentally met Wang Yu in Senior Lu's office.
Wang Yu is the photographer of "Suzhou River" and Lou Ye's official photographer. This guy looks honest and honest, but he's actually very sultry on the inside.
But then again, if the photographer is not cool, how can he take beautiful shots?
Wang Yu smiled honestly: "Busy."
After saying that, he looked at Senior Lu who was sitting across from him and said with a smile: "Thank you for not giving up, Director Lu, for asking me to come over and start the fight."
Senior Lu raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and shook his head speechlessly.
At this time, Li Jiaxuan brought tea: "Brother, please drink tea."
"Oh, thank you."
It seems that this girl has completely set up camp with Senior Lu.
"Li Tang, how are the preparations going?"
As soon as Senior Lu walked in from Li Tang, he was at least very satisfied with his appearance. He had a crew cut and his handsome face was obviously one shade darker than the last time they met, and he was very close to the character of a car repairman.
"It should be almost done." Li Tang replied seriously.
He now has a good understanding of the character of Lei Haiyang. He is roughly a young man who is not very educated, not very smart, somewhat ambitious, timid and cowardly, but kind-hearted.
Then he chatted with Senior Lu about his understanding of the characters.
This is very important. The tone of a character's character determines the character's logic of thought and behavior. To put it simply, a person's personality determines what he thinks and what he does.
And this must be consistent with the director’s understanding.
In addition, it is not enough for an actor to understand the characters just by studying the script, you must have this aspect of life. It can be said that the amount of life experience an actor has and the depth of his life experience are the decisive factors in understanding and embodying the character when creating the character.
This is how many so-called "old actors" came to be.
Some time ago, Li Tang didn't work in the auto repair shop every day for nothing. When it came to the details of the characters, many of them were things that even Senior Lu himself had not thought of.
Senior Lu watched Li Tang talk and felt for the first time what the teacher said to them when they were in school: Don't think that the director is anything special. Directors and actors complement each other. If you meet a good actor , the director only needs to control the overall tone, and then leave it to the actors to show it.
To be honest, although he had watched the clips from "Suzhou River" played by Li Tang at Lou Ye's place before, it was undeniable that Li Tang's performance was indeed very good. Of course, the girl in it seemed more stunning, but because Li Tang wanted to Playing opposite his ex-girlfriend, Senior Lu still felt a little unsure.
You must know that his ex-girlfriend is a very emotional actor. Once she enters the mood, she will definitely be full of fire. Back then, even Jiang Wen and Ge You had trouble catching it.
But at this moment, he was completely relieved.
This does not mean that Li Tang's performance level has exceeded or is on par with Jiang Wen, Ge You and others. But he finally had confidence in his heart. With Li Tang's deep understanding of the character, he could roughly guarantee the lower limit of the role of Lei Haiyang. Of course he's looking forward to what the upper limit will be.
