"Hey, ha!"
"Hey, ha!"
Li Tang held a white wax pole, shook his gun, and stabbed at the grass target hanging on the jujube tree. Unfortunately, he only hit the red heart once or twice out of ten times.
No wonder Wu Jing said that if you want to practice big guns well, you must practice basic skills. Although the Wu family and his son could easily shake out three guns and flowers, Li Tang could only shake out one gun and flowers after practicing for a long time.
And when Wu Jing came to teach him yesterday, he was able to shake the spear and stab it accurately. It seemed simple, but in fact it was really difficult to do. Not only does it require a steady hand, it also tests your eyesight.
So don't underestimate any national martial arts champion. Those who win the championship are definitely not in vain, they all have real skills.
Although Wu Jing had taught him the basic skills and methods of exerting force yesterday, Li Tang was still a long way from it. If he wanted to hit the target with a spear, he could only practice with one word.
Li Tang has an advantage, well, I can't say it's an advantage, it should be a characteristic, that is, it's easy to fall in love with something. Just like in his previous life, with his family background and IQ, he could easily get into one of the top ten Ivy League schools in the United States and then find a decent job. But he chose to be an actor because he liked acting. Even though he failed to achieve his goal in the following ten years, he still enjoyed it.
It's the same now. He may have practiced kung fu in the beginning to prepare for future performances, but since the last time he was filming "Little Lee Flying Knives", he practiced martial arts with those martial arts champions and really fell in love with this sport. It can not only exercise the body, but also provide self-defense, and more importantly, it can broaden the scope of acting, so he not only has to learn new kung fu, but he is also particularly motivated to practice it.
Just as he was getting excited about practicing, his cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw it was a call from my ex-girlfriend.
"Hello!"
Breathing heavily, he answered the phone.
"What are you doing, panting?"
Hey, that's pretty lenient.
"I'm not doing anything, I'm at home." His voice was slightly stiff.
"Home in the capital?"
"Well, I haven't left yet."
"Then... wouldn't it be convenient for me to come over?"
Hey, I finally learned to call ahead instead of showing up uninvited.
So sometimes you should be tougher. If you just give in, you will always be a licker. What's even more sad is that instead of cherishing it, people will take it for granted and even despise it.
"what's up?"
"I just wanted to come over for a visit. It's been so long and you haven't invited me once." The ex-girlfriend actually said in a resentful tone on the other end of the phone.
Li Tang was still a little uncomfortable for a moment, so he paused for two seconds before saying, "Well, it's convenient. Come over here. Make a call when you're almost there and I'll pick you up at the alley entrance."
"Okay!" the ex-girlfriend said happily.
It is said that the fragrance from afar is a smell that is close to you. Sometimes it is necessary to keep a certain distance. Since the last quarrel, my ex-girlfriend's attitude has obviously improved a lot. On the contrary, Fan Xiaopang has been a bit jealous recently and often yells at him on the phone.
…
"I didn't expect your place to be quite big and well-decorated, but the surrounding environment is a bit poor."
The ex-girlfriend took a tour and found it to be better than she expected. However, after hearing from Li Tang that it cost nearly 900,000 yuan to get it all, she still felt it was not worth it. With 900,000 yuan, you can buy two houses in the East Third Ring Road. Isn’t it nice?
At the same time, she felt a little regretful. If she had known that this damn man was so wealthy and was still buying a house in the capital, she would not have broken up with her in the first place.
"I think it's pretty good. It's very safe right next to the detention center, and the uncles and aunties in the alley are very enthusiastic, down-to-earth and lively," Li Tang said.
As an actor, you have to constantly observe life in order to perform well.
"Okay, okay, as long as you feel good about it."
My ex-girlfriend seems to be particularly docile today.
Li Tang glanced at her in surprise and asked, "What do you want to drink?"
"Just water."
"Are you losing weight again?"
"No, I'm just keeping in shape now."
Li Tang opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water.
"Is there anything hot?" The ex-girlfriend frowned and didn't answer.
"Auntie is here?"
Li Tang was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: Auntie is here, why are you running to me?
Seeing his appearance, his ex-girlfriend blushed and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just have a bad stomach these days, so I try not to drink anything cold."
As he said that, he rolled his eyes at him and whispered: "I come here at the beginning of every month. It's not like you don't know. Why are you pretending to be stupid?"
"Uh...forgot."
Li Tang was a little embarrassed and poured her a glass of warm boiled water. I fiddled with the tea set on the table, washed the tea, brewed it, filtered it, smelled it, and finally took a sip.
But he didn't hear any movement from his ex-girlfriend for a long time. When he looked up, he saw his ex-girlfriend looking at him with her chin in her hands.
"Why are you still regretting not going to the Venice Film Festival?"
"Regret or not, it's all over." The ex-girlfriend said without interest.
When the drama "Going Home for the New Year" was shortlisted for the main competition section of the Venice Film Festival, Zhang Yuan informed her and Liu Ling whether they wanted to participate. However, the crew had no money and had to pay for it at their own expense.
My ex-girlfriend was filming at the time and couldn't leave. In addition, the out-of-pocket expenses were not a small sum, and I needed a decent dress to walk on the red carpet. But dresses often cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. I really couldn't afford it, so I couldn't just wear a dress. Let’s walk on the red carpet in a dress worth two hundred yuan.
She didn't go, and Liu Ling didn't go either for the same reason.
Although "Homecoming for the New Year" later won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director, it was the director who stole the show, not the actors, so there is no regret.
Seeing that she was not very interested, Li Tang asked again: "Then you don't plan to go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
The ex-girlfriend shook her head and said, "My parents told me not to bother. Xiuxiu is going to buy a house. When the time comes, I will take my parents to live in Hangzhou, so that I can take care of them."
"Hey, Xiuxiu is okay. You can buy a house after only working for two years."
"Hangzhou is not the capital or Shanghai, and housing prices are not expensive. Besides, she does social news, so she can earn some extra money. I will provide some support here, and the down payment is almost enough. At first, I wanted to bring my parents to the capital. But I’m out filming all year round, so I can’t take care of her.”
It must be said that the two sisters are both filial daughters, and one is more capable than the other. They came from a small county in the northeast and have now taken root in a big city.
"What about you? Are you going back?" the ex-girlfriend asked.
"Flight tomorrow at noon."
"It's so boring. I originally wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you."
Li Tang looked at her frustrated look and muttered, "How about you go home with me?"
Not to mention, the ex-girlfriend was really moved, but after thinking about it, she still shook her head and said: "Forget it, uncle already knows that we broke up, what's the point of me going back with you again! And what if I'm photographed by a reporter?" trouble."
Li Tang nodded and said nothing more. In fact, he regretted the words as soon as he said them. He found that he was a little emotional. Fortunately, his ex-girlfriend did not agree.
The ex-girlfriend looked at him and opened her mouth, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
When Li Tang saw this, he couldn't help but said, "Is something wrong?"
The ex-girlfriend nodded hesitantly and said, "I came here today because Sister Hua wanted me to ask you if you are interested in cooperating with her."
"Cooperation? How to cooperate?"
"Oh, I just want you to change jobs. Sister Hua wants to sign you." The ex-girlfriend said directly.
"Sign me?"
Li Tang couldn't help but burst into laughter and mocked: "What did she do long ago? Now she wants to sign me. It's too late!"
When the ex-girlfriend first signed a contract with Sister Hua, she wanted to bring the original Li Tang with her. Unfortunately, Sister Hua didn't like him at that time because he was ordinary. In the end, the ex-girlfriend broke up with him.
Then he changed his tone again and said calmly: "Please tell Sister Hua that I am working very well with Nai'an and I don't want to change jobs yet."
The ex-girlfriend looked regretful and said, "I knew you still held grudges, so I shouldn't have asked this for her."
"No, how can you know my attitude without asking? You should ask." Li Tang said with a smile.
This question and answer just now made him feel a lot better.
"Tch, don't I know? With your stingy energy, I can guess it." The ex-girlfriend snorted.
"Then you still ask?"
"..."
The ex-girlfriend was completely speechless after talking while driving, and she stared at Li Tang bitterly, full of displeasure.
Li Tang patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, I admit that I am stingy. But I can't even talk about holding grudges. On the contrary, I have to admit that Sister Hua was right not to sign me back then. It was a sign of professionalism. Besides, Don't be angry if others don't help you. This is normal! But if others help you, that's your luck and blessing. Cherish and be grateful for no reason.
For me, it was normal for Sister Hua not to sign me back then. The most I could do was complain. But Nai'an helped me a lot by signing me. If I changed jobs without any reason, wouldn't it be like repaying a favor with a grudge? Also, and most importantly, you said we stay in the same company, do you think it is appropriate? "
Of course it's not appropriate unless the two of them break up completely.
In fact, this was not the first time that Sister Hua mentioned this matter to her. As early as when Li Tang got the male lead in "Shanghai Chronicle", she had revealed the idea of signing Li Tang's box. Although she also mentioned it to Li Tang at that time, But it was a joke. After all, from her point of view, she felt it was inappropriate to be in the same agency as her ex-boyfriend, whom she had no relationship with.
But this time, Sister Hua told her that among the actors currently under contract by Sister Hua, Brother Dao is undoubtedly the top one, and there are also popular actors such as Cheng Qian, Liu Wei, Hu Jun, etc., but they all belong to the former category. In the Mesozoic era, there is a shortage of potential niche students. Although the rights have been signed, there is a big gap compared to Li Tang, who has won the Huabiao Film Newcomer Award and been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.
And based on the current development situation of Li Tang, the future is very promising, so Sister Hua asked her to take the lead, hoping to clear up the past suspicions and achieve cooperation.
